Stats are showing that women are consuming lots of porn now too.

And I always find the 'dehumanizing' argument amusing, it's like saying that Nine Inch Nails represents all industrial music, or that all 90s rock is represented by Nickelback. If you go out seeking examples of dehumanization the systems are such that that is all you will find. If you seek out homemade videos by real couples happily posting them to Pornhub or Onlyfans, that is also what you will mostly find. If you seek out wild fetish stuff, then that is also what you will mostly find.

This is not the 90s, porn is quite diverse. For every headline out there manufactured to bring outrage to moralists, there are a hundred other stories which are much more benign.

Personally I'd do away with 'mainstream' porn, my inner voyeur likes the homemade stuff too much.
The issue against Venezuela was often founded in the confiscation of Plants and Equipment by the gov (Nationalization)... Same for Cuba (and the embargo against them)

But... Well, now the West has decided unilaterally to confiscate the Yachts from Oligarchs (who are not even gov representatives, but are ascribed 'ties to Putin).

It goes without saying that these guys aren't always the most moral bunch... but that still should not mean we forget about law for the sake of convenience.

We even returned some hundreds of millions to the Iran regime --despite claiming it belonged to the previous legitimate government...

So, it's all BS.
The sorting is set to score to favor the posts that get the most traction, and GitLab doesn't appear to allow sorting Markdown tables. However, there is a CSV version, so it can easily be opened in something like Excel.

The inclusion of Taiwan is temporary, and will be removed once it's clear that the CCP is only fearmongering by claiming that the US's hesitance to send troops to the Ukraine would amount in a failure to defend Taiwan from invasion[1]. A lot of events are occurring in the world outside of the Ukraine, and a lot of the people who are watching what's unfolding in the Ukraine are watching those events as well. As time goes by, it will be easier to see which of these are only coincidences (eg the missile strikes in Erbil[2])

The same principle is applied when you use call forwarding on most SIP providers. They "spoof" the real caller's Caller ID when forwarding the call, so that the forwarded call reaches your phone with the number of the actual caller, not some random number assigned to your account or the provider.
If they didn't do this you wouldn't be able to call the original caller back directly from your call log.

This would be a legitimate use case for Caller ID spoofing.
I don't have a problem with syntax. I have a problem with textual syntax, where abstract concepts are represented with words, with little to no secondary notation[1] and lots of repetition. When the syntax is highly visual, it can convey information through much more bandwidth than flat text, which is limited to a few dozens of repeatedly used symbols.

And don't tell me that textual programmers don't realize the benefit of secondary notation and visually-conveyed details. We love when our IDEs full with syntax highlighting for different types of operators, global structure mini-maps and intellisense auto-complete tooltips. All these are visual tools that improve the flow of building a text-based program.

There's a few different reason:

* Ukraine and Russia are collectively the world's largest producer of potash

* Nitrogen fertilisers use natural gas in their production, which has skyrocketed in price

* China has banned or heavily restricted the export of fertiliser and fertiliser components over local supply fears

Put that together with the effective removal of the world's largest exporter of wheat (Russia) and the 5th largest exporter of wheat (Ukraine) from world supply, and food prices are gonna get nasty. Moreso in countries that tend to import Russian/Ukrainian wheat e.g. Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh
CGI module deprecated. That got me strongly in the nostalgia.
Lots of skeptical remarks here about engineering trees.

But as much as people fantasize about native plants completely unaltered from their natural state, the ability to dramatically reduce world hunger is a direct consequence of humans' capacity to improve crop yields such as rice and corn through breeding and engineering.

We now face a similar challenge to stave off disaster, and efforts to create improvements to existing species to accomplish it deserve the same applause as the technical plant wizardry that prevented the starvation of millions of people.

Much as the plant revolution primarily benefited the world's hungry poor, mitigating climate change also primarily benefits the world's poor, much of whom live in hot tropical climates most susceptible to wet bulb temp hazards. So it's bizarre to see so many wealthy people in this forum complain about the use of technology to achieve a goal that will be so important to prevent the deaths of so many: but I suppose it makes sense, because like eating only low yielding native foods, ignoring climate change and making fun of attempts to solve it is a privilege of wealthy folk who are best able to compensate for it with air conditioning and mobility, and whose kids and grandkids will not have to pay the price.

Living Carbon's technical methods should be scrutinized and the business model questioned, but Maddie and her team should be applauded, and the Whole Foods crowd with vague, unspecific negative thoughts should at least recognize how much luxury they have to rag on humans' attempt to use plants to better our world.
Crashing the system would be preferable to corrupting memory and crashing the system at an undetermined time in the future.
Why, exactly? Because it appears too dumbed down for us experienced programmers, or is there a deeper reason? The Quorum team, which I'm proud to collaborate with when I have the chance, has evidence that their language works for beginners. They've been collecting that evidence over several years. I think their work deserves more than a shallow dismissal.
I get that Oxide has a lot of ex-Joyent folks, but I can't help but wonder how much the choice of a Solaris-derived OS will hobble adoption, support for devices, etc. In many ways this feels like SmartOS all over again - a killer concept that will be eclipsed by a technically inferior but more tractable (for contributors, for management) solution.
I should say, we have absolutely no performance requirements, at least in terms of what this will do.

If we could add 10% developer efficiency for 20% performance hit, we'd take that in a heartbeat. The nanoseconds this construct might cost are just irrelevant to us, our customers, or our bottomline.

Obviously if you're writing some low-level performance sensitive code then this won't be free, but I expect most people are in our situation.
Interestingly, this isn't true of prairie grasses - their root structures can go several feet deep and make up most of the biomass of the plant. They're really underrated with regard to how much structure they make.
As I said, it's not enough. As long as they exist, they're causing health problems. You just can't filter enough of the gases. But moving to full electric can solve that quite well (putting the dangerous emissions far away).

Batteries are getting safer, too.
> Namely Google seems to have initially tried to sell this API to restaurants directly.

...which was a fools errand. It is impossible to expect individual restaurants (_maybe_ aside from large restaurant groups - ie, big chains) to integrate with this API.

To me it seems much more likely that Google pivoted to working directly with delivery operators for practical reasons to make the product functional.

I would also bet that contracts with the delivery operators include a bit about how they will enable this integration and what that means. Perhaps they do not make it explicit enough in the sales cycle (or, didn't in the case of Lime)
I'm not sure how it is more effective to drive horribly ineffective diesel trucks to gather that waste and to dump it somewhere else, build a thousands of facilities to process this and utilize the methane safely instead of simply having a compost pile behind your house (where possible).
Or maybe we should take what she's saying on a case by case basis and also recognise the effects traumatic experiences can have as the range of factors at play in criminality. To reduce someone to the position of a hard wired liar who didn't deserve compassion or a voice is very worrying especially in 2022.
I was talking about a Value type being a sum type. Your widget type shouldn't be a sum type at all.

For your new widget, you define an interface and you call a method. You do get full compiler support for ensuring that the method exists because if you try to pass the new widget type in to something that defines the interface, and it does not implement the interface, it is a compile-time error.

This is absolutely unidiomatic. You pay for implementing a foreign paradigm into Go code, then you pay for that foreign paradigm not doing the task you're asking it to do very well, where the native paradigm does it smoothly and correctly. This is doubly-non-idiomatic code; it's non-idiomatic Go and it's non-idiomatic FP!
This is it exactly. Google has decided that the bait has been taken, and now it's time to "set the hook" - this is the first pull.
Google doesn’t take a cut yet.

You can also gasify woody biomass into syngas, which can be used for energy production. The gasification process can be optimized for biochar (carbon) production which can be introduced into the soil (terra preta) for nutrient absorption and carbon sequestration. It's estimated that biochar is inert in the soil for approximately 10,000 years. So reverse mining of carbon.
Yes, to emphasize: "nm" marketing is just marketing. There is no dimension on a 5nm chip that is actually 5nm. It used to represent gate length and half-pitch but that stopped being true about 20 years ago and officially became nonsense about 10 years ago, it's "what size planar node do we think these features would perform like" now.

Because it's all subjective now, companies went wild with marketing, because consumers know "lower nm => better". But, say, GF 14nm is much more comparable to Intel 22nm, and GF 12nm is still solidly behind late-gen 14++, probably more comparable to TSMC 16nm. Generally Intel has been the most faithful to the "original" ratings, while TSMC has stretched it a little, and GF/IBM and Samsung have been pretty deceptive with their namings. Intel finally threw in the towel a year or so ago and moved to align their names with TSMC, "10nm ESF" is now "Intel 7" (note: no nm) and is roughly comparable with TSMC 7nm (seems like higher clocks at the top/worse efficiency at the bottom but broadly similar), and they will maintain TSMC-comparable node names going forward.

Anyway, to answer OP's question directly though, "what comes after 1nm" is angstroms. You'll see node names like *90A or whatever, even though that continues to be completely ridiculous in terms of the actual node measurements.
Given that these price increases are for things like long term storage I wouldn’t start thinking about home hosting as an alternative. The whole point is having a secure backup and your home isn’t going to cut it.
That's a pretty simplistic view - EU buys Russian oil as well but you'd hire them, right?

I don't think there is enough to scale that way. I'm also not sure if there are ecosysytem concerns from taking it from the sea and moving it to the midwest. I have no idea how seaweed will affect soil long term. That said, within the limits of the above by all means use it. Just don't pretend it is an answer along.

> Hang up and call them back at the number you normally use to reach them, from their website or the back of your credit/debit card for example. Make sure you're talking to the people you think you are.

This is not foolproof either. In some older landlines even hanging up doesn't necessarily disconnect you.

This means an attack works like:

1. Attacker dials their victim, alleging to be "Interpol", "VISA Card Services" or some other similar thing.

2. Victim takes this advice, "hangs up" and picks up and dials back.

3. After victim hangs up, attacker plays dialtone noise down the line, which they have not disconnected.

4. Victim picks up and "dials" the actual thing they want to be sure of, but is really just listening to a fake call the attackers play to them.

5. Attacker answers "Thanks for calling X".

This isn't to my knowledge true of mobile calls but it's important to know it's not foolproof either.

There's some discussion of that here: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/100268/does-han...

I pay for YouTube premium and use vanced.

Why?

Because sponsorblock is fantastic and I can set my default video speed to 2x.

That's it. That's all I wanted. But I was more than happy to install and maintain the app to do so.
No it isn't. We should strife to zero carbon emissions. No amount of insulation or reduction of consumption will achieve this. The best these reductions do is delay the onset of the negative consequences of climate change.

The solution is to replace carbon emission based energy sources and there are plenty of basically infinite energy sources out there. Solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, nuclear fission, possibly nuclear fusion.

Until we've scaled those up we should be reducing our energy consumption. But it's just a stopgap, not a solution.
I honestly don’t know how restaurants even get a say in the matter. Ultimately, as a customer I am placing a to-go order and hiring somebody to go pick it up for me.

DoorDash has made an effort to streamline the process. If to-go orders are an option then you really don’t get a choice in who I send to pick it up.
> The whole MVP process presumes you don’t know what you are making for a product, and that is death.

No, the MVP process presumes that you are not omniscient.

Just because you think you know what a customer wants, doesn't mean that anything you make will satisfy the customer. They need to actually get their hands on it, so they can tell you if it works for them. 99% of the time they will be unhappy about something. And that is fine; nothing is ever perfect! But if there is a big expensive time-consuming problem, you won't know that until the customer gets their hands on it, so you don't want to wait long to find those problems.

You want to find those problems as early as possible, so you can fix things early, to reduce the time/cost/complexity of "fixing" things down the line, so your time and money is spent building things right the first time. This reduces cost, speeds up delivery, and improves quality. This concept is called Shift Left.

MVP is intended to get something in the hands of the earliest customers so they can give you feedback. Some people use this just to figure out if they have a market or a product to sell at all, but you don't have to use it that way. You can use as a "minimum customer-acceptable prototype with feedback".
I haven't seen a landline in ages...
Many enterprise care more about the risk of prices changing than the absolute prices. The later you can account for in budgets more easily than the former. Especially if the price increase is one that goes from $0 to $non-zero since that could be a massive increase in absolute dollars.

AWS has never afaik increased prices which is a pretty strong selling point even if specific services likely are a loss for them perpetually as a result if mis-priced initially.
I was wondering what the business plan is here, their site says that they're organized as a Public Benefit Corporation. Never heard of that, but Wikipedia to the rescue:

You only have to grow more than you burn, to be carbon negative. The entire world is not dry like southern CA.
You're right, which is why we don't need types, I guess?

I'm being facetious, but if you're using a statically typed language you've already bought into types helping you across your codebase being worthwhile.

Equally, this situation is one where the testing point doesn't work. Your tests for the existing functionality won't, obviously, be testing the new functionality you're creating.

So they won't be able to catch that one part of your codebase doesn't support the new feature, while this solution can help you with that!
And, before people start saying "you don't understand, America is so big, we need cars," well, that's only true when you're talking about farmers and rural residents.

In reality, most Americans live in cities and suburbs, concentrated on the costs and in the Midwest, with urbanization only increasing over time.

In other words, most people in the US already live in areas where there is sufficient density and short enough distances to live in a place where maybe you need to own a car but you shouldn't necessarily need to use the car for every type of trip.

There are suburban designs emphasizing single family homes that can still accommodate a lifestyle that isn't using a car for every type of trip, but North America has simply not developed that way.

Development in North America goes wildly beyond just accommodating cars, it instead actively designs in hostility toward pedestrians, cyclists, and generally having the chance of using anything but a car for getting around. Features like:

- Winding suburban developments separate themselves from the main street grid to eliminate thru traffic, but that also makes walking/cycling out of the development impractical by extending travel distance

- Stroads [1] and big box developments make it unsafe/impossible/impractical to walk to businesses that are right next door or otherwise in the same development, never mind crossing the actual street.

- Transit system design and schedules that emphasize downtown travel during bankers hours.

Right, that's a different strategy again. If you're making a monolithic 64 core die and one of the cores is defective, and the next one down in your product lineup is the 48 core, that's going to make the 64 core model harder to stock (and maybe not worth aiming for at all, if your yields are bad enough that this happens often).

Meanwhile if you're making 6 x 8 core chiplets and one of those cores is defective, well that chiplet can go into a 48 core or be a midrange consumer cpu or something, and you'll just pick one of your many many other 8 core chiplets to go with the rest for the 64 core.
It depends on the range of the index and how often you want that data.

If the position is below 5 trillion, you might want to calculate them once with Bellard's software and use that data.
to say that the major, default subreddits are "left-leaning" is a massive understatement. the reddit homepage (sans login) is basically half memes, half direct feed of the latest Democratic Party talking points. it was not this way in the past, and noticing this change is a valid observation.

what the author of the article ignores however is that the 2008 reddit he was initially exposed to was mostly accessed by people using personal computers, instead of people using smartphones. I'm always surprised whenever anyone overlooks this basic fact and its implications when assessing "how the internet has gotten worse" since 2008 or before.
Thank you for taking the time to write this article.

I have close look on Remix.run, I'll definitively try in the future. It looks extremely promising. Currently, still using Next.js for all my projects.
Congrats Maddie & team!!!
I've taught kids both Scratch and JavaScript.
I think Scratch is much better for pre-teens,
for the following reasons:

- Scratch has an integrated 2d game engine, sprite editor, and asset library.
This makes it easy for kids to make something of interest to them right away,
including those who don't pick up coding right away.
I've had kids who struggled with complex coding
but were still able to enjoy Scratch
by making lightly-interactive stories / art.

- Most children can drag blocks faster than they can type.

- Most kids these days aren't familiar
with a lot of desktop computing concepts we take for granted.
For instance, they mostly don't know what files are,
or how to copy and paste text.
It would be nice if I could teach them all of that before any coding
-- but that's generally not what they feel they're there for.

- Scratch shows the current value of variables by default.
This helps kids to grasp the concept of a variable
and to understand why their program is behaving the way it is.

- Scratch is a website, which makes it easy for kids
to show others what they did.
This makes it more gratifying for kids and parents.
IIRC, the Scratch team also found that this aspect
is especially appealing to girls.
Just never answer the phone. If they really want to talk to you -- they'll find another way.
‘Pro’ has lost all meaning, and Apple knows it
The gas+oil spigot is not completely turned off yet, even by sanctions adherent countries. The real difficulty comes if there's an end run around the sanctions by China and/or India. Imagine an exodus from that market. Imagine Apple having to exit China. And imagine all the services and trade with India. Those are very different spigots than oil and gas. Closing those is going to involve a lot of pain.

Investing in those countries always involved tradeoffs. But the idea any country would help another in a blatantly illegal war of aggression to expand borders - it's so contrary to the U.N. charter and post-WW2 world that it's really quite surprising. China? As a founding member of the U.N. and permanent member of the Security Council helping Russia in any capacity? I am surprised. China may have lost upwards of 15 million in WW2. Have we forgotten everything?
You know.. this gives me a thought. I've not followed Gemini much, so pardon if this is stupid..

I've (very) slowly working on a knowledge base and planning features. All focused on myself/FOSS. A big desire i recognized early on is being able to store immutable references to the source material. Good for offline usage, but also nice as a "Reader". I would probably ingest direct to some reasonably bare HTML or Markdown format.

Alternatively, i wonder if adhering to Gemini/etc would be a good way to achieve this?

Ie rather than store data in some adhoc format, you just write a "Traditional Web -> Gemini" converter, and then just build the Reader ontop of that. Clearly i'm just speaking of Gemini as a storage format, ignoring transport mechanisms or protocols. Ie the HTML aspect of Gemini. I am unclear if Gemini is just literally a subset HTML - but even if it is, it adds a nice constraint on what HTML this Reader would produce.

Seems neat and general purpose. As long as Clients can markup Gemini content with enough semantic visual meaning as to not detract from the experience in my eyes. Ie i'd want to be able to view Codeblocks with some simple syntax highlighting.. not sure if Gemini prevents that somehow.

Now i need to look into Web -> Gemini scrapers, got me interested
