It makes sense for developers to use the native html renderer when they don’t want to have to include a big binary blob (Electron/CEF) to do so in their application.
I love this video:

Dishwasher pods are heavily marketed in the US and actually wash more poorly compared to plain powder. With pods the pre-wash ends up running without detergent, so rinsing off dishes becomes necessary.
While there is an issue to be addressed, there's a better way to do it.

Create a standardised quality ranking of cloth longevity/repairability and force the manufacturers to display it prominently and accurately.

Why would the law prohibit me from buying a $1 shirt that lasts 1 week and instead buy a $50 shirt that lasts a year?

The effect will be identical to that achieved by reusable grocery store bag laws. Tons and tons of extra waste, as well as taxing the poor more.
Would be interested in an actual analysis of that, not just hand waving. A devil's advocate might say that a stadium comes with built-in jobs and attracts 10,000s of intercity spectators every week who have a lot of money burning a hole in their pocket, whereas subsidized housing brings a few families, most of whom have very little money or income.

Of course there are other metrics to consider than economic impact.
You're right.

What's weird is I've found collaboration works shockingly well remotely. You can jump on a Slack huddle and share your screen or use VSCode LiveShare to pair on hard problem, or a document, and while there's more fiction in drawing, it turns out my whiteboard handwriting is terrible anyway.

The thing is, you have to do this deliberately. You need a culture of teaching or you're going to be bad at teaching, and since it's harder to read the room, your experienced folks and managers might not even realize you feel stuck.

I'd suggest you raise your concerns to the people around you. "I don't feel like I'm learning this way, can we do more pairing or can I join on some of the harder projects" is a fine place to start.
Issues with the license aside, there are substantial problems with the core algorithmic material of the book. The provided codes and approaches are often just plain incorrect.

Quoting from a review:
"The authors of Numerical Recipes were not specialists in numerical analysis or mathematical software prior to publication of this book and its software, and this deficiency shows WHENEVER WE TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT A TOPIC in the book [editor's emphasis]. The authors have attempted to cover a very extensive range of topics. They have basically found `some' way to approach each topic rather than finding one of the best contemporary ways. In some cases they were apparently not aware of standard theory and algorithms, and consequently devised approaches of their own. The MEDFIT code of section 14.6 is a particularly unfortunate example of this latter situation.

"One should independently check the validity of any information or codes obtained from `Numerical Recipes'...."

I think you need to decide if you’re trying to raise your child for the world that exists, or the world that you wish existed.
Real life engineering is object oriented. We arrange objects with state and functions all the time.

UI design is object oriented. We manipulate objects. We click them and get pages of things we can do with them. Sometimes it's a bit more functional, often it's pretty directly an OOP experience.

What other paradigm can we use to directly model the actual application domain, without some constant need for mental translation?

If one accepts the constant translation, we already have functional programming.

If one doesn't... IS there any alternative to OOP, except domain specific visual languages like Excel, reactive bindings(Is that it's own paradigm), and declarative programming?

Declarative seems like the closest thing, but it doesn't seem like anyone has ever fully done away with the need for instructions in the general case.

Systemd is a marvel, because it's so declarative.

Perhaps instead of the next big paradigm, we should look for large classes of problems to unify under one declarative tool the way Excel and Systemd handle data and processes.
How is it supposed to fall?

The biggest crypto exchange with the largest trading volume works to keep the price fixed. If they need more funds to do so, they just mint more Tethers. Basically, they own this game.

Betting against them is like betting that Disney will run out of animation --- only worse because Tethers are easier to create.
This is the first service, which unfortunately just found shut down free registrations, that came to my mind when opened the link.
Actually, what you probably want is a mass direct action, not endless individual lawsuits, but, first, you want a legal rule of recovery far better than you would get even for actually taking back the TV under current law.
Why not use Numerical Recipes?
I think this only occurs on Windows 11. I had a similar experience as described in the tweets.
Uh no, not in the Bay Area… or any place that requires a jumbo loan.
Some of the old screenshots in half-life and counter-strike really brought back some memories! Especially for CS I haven’t seen some of those maps for maybe 20 years but I still remember them!

Had you ever installed Firefox/Chrome on that machine before? Based on my unscientific observations, it only happened the first time I tried to install a new browser after a clean install. After clicking through that popup once, it didn't come back when installing/updating any subsequent browsers.
I never pass up an opportunity to point out that his version of Hallelujah from that album is THE canonical version.

I'm sure it was covered by others before that, but his was the first version I ever heard and of the million versions I've heard since there's not a single one that comes anywhere close. And the way it and the next song go together are the definition of a centerpiece.

It's one of the great albums and I can't believe how much we lost because he decided to go swimming at night in a river. I also can't believe the same dude mixed Nevermind. Cheers.
I suspect it's just gravity pulling the lid down along the groove. Kind of like going down a spiral slide. With metal on glass it probably has relatively low friction. I've seen nuts thread themselves down bolts as long as a foot, with just the slightest initial push, in a similar manner.
The trouble is not only finding quality goods now, its that once you do they are way more expensive than they used to be since they now serve a smaller market. Not only are they trying to stay afloat with a smaller customer base, they're losing some of the economies of scale, so prices go up or quality goes down.
The vertical tabs are great and are actually native.

Ublock origin still works.

Yes, Firefox is my first choice. But Edge is actually good.
Question ... were they Reserved instances, or On Demand? IIRC, you still pay for Reserved instances, whether or not they're on.
If they simply did not charge income tax on home sales we would have an army of solo developers and house flippers engaging in a flurry of small builds. There is still cheap land to be had where single family 1500sq ft homes can be built but developers can't do it because of the up front costs and taxes making such a thing impossible for them. Solo builders can do it...until they factor in the governments' cut. The margins too thin, risk too great. Eliminating income tax on home sales is dead simple, has no cost, and would enable a lot of one-off projects.

I am trying to build a two bedroom house in a small country township in Ohio. My upfront costs just to get county, state, and township approval are already at $15k with me doing all the work. No approval yet. The piece of land (1ac) I'm developing was held by various corporate builders for years until I bought it from another individual for $7k. This house is for myself but it could easily be built on speculation and sold but I would have to live in it for three years to avoid the $30k income tax on the sale. No way am I fighting through all this red tape and risk to hand over $30k in taxes. That $30k is another piece of land brought to shovel ready for another build...pissed away. Income taxes are a regression to solo builders that make each build a daunting risk. The government is not allowing profit on smaller single family homes...period.

Do people flag these stories or are they programmatically kept off the front page.

It’s strange that these stories never make it anywhere near the top.
It's for the better, I think. Everybody gets so concerned about privacy and then gives Valve a blank check with the Steam launcher.

I almost prefer having it on an isolated system, along with the various other game launchers.

I also wish I didn't have to use it to buy games, but it seems like any/most PC games are available only through Steam, or some equivalently distasteful proprietary launcher/platform/portal thing.

> Are these "pattern" in the sense of reusable solution to common problems or just random and non-consistent design blocks?

They are intended to be the former but I'm sure they will include the latter in some cases; WP is used by really everyone.

(The bird illustrations are just demonstrations of the content pattern, are they not?)

> Also, why on earth should I control border-radii, gradient, colors for every single block in the editor?

Personally I don't, but there may be reasons to do that. And it's important to note that WP now sees its main competition as platforms that do offer that. But one assumes those features can be switched off by theme editors; many aspects of Gutenberg can be (though it's three years since I did a serious Gutenberg site build so I might be out of date. You can certainly disable whole blocks, build pre-defined block styles etc).

> Two, authors and editors should focus on content, not styling. Many of them are unable to take rational design decisions. Giving them the power of styling border radii or gradients on multiple buttons/elements in a random fashion on the same page, or even on the same website, is a recipe for a visual disaster.

Putting aside the fact that you're basically sneering at users for wanting to make their own creative choices, that is only your call to make when you're managing the system, right? How is any of this different to the any number of plugins or TinyMCE Extended features that were available in WP before? At the end of it is still someone's creative discipline; nothing has changed and CMS developers should be a bit cautious about saying "no, you can't ever do that, because it's tasteless".

(Edit to add: one of the real problems WP will face if they took a taste-first approach is a proliferation of hacky, ugly blocks that exist simply to serve users who reject that particular approach. It is far better to have a generic, configurable interface for core block styles that can be locked down on a site-by-site basis than to encourage a world of hacks and workarounds)

It's still becoming more structured, not less. And a fork like ClassicPress won't change things.

If you really think all these things need to be able to be locked down tight: make the case, submit the patches?
I have games and other software that wont run or wont run as well on Linux.

Work is also done on a domain joined Windows laptop.

This "just switch to linux lol" is so dumb.
How do you make sense of your library of books/readings etc.?
Physical and/or digital. Books, articles, or anything else you might want to reference. How do you make sense of all the resources you've gathered?

Beyond the usual sorting by "Author/Date" and by topics (eg Tech, Psychology), I'm interested to hear about some of the strategies, frameworks, philosophies etc that you have figured out in terms of organizing your library?

Eg. the groupings you use, particular categories/tags (eg "classics"), etc.
With the recent Rubick changes (can steal 2 spells) it really seems like the devs are challenging themselves. Not too few game-(breaking|crashing) bugs have been found as a result of some special interactions.
And when it is both, as in this example?

Marks and Spencer are one of many brands that pivoted from quality to crap yet saw no significant decrease in customer loyalty.
I think this logic should be reserved for the cases where it really matters, like the erosion of freedom of speech. Potentially permanent changes.

This is just slimy sales tactics. The level of ‘acceptable to most people’ swings back and forth. It’s not a slippery slope.
Right but I was talking about the last ~10 years, not 72 to 32 years ago. Berlin (where I now live) also lost a lot of population from the 40s till 1990 but has seen a lot of growth in the past decade, thus the current competitive housing market.

People also used to occupy far fewer square meters/feet of housing per person in the past so even though Berlin (or Pittsburgh) had a higher population in 1940 than today it doesn't necessarily mean there's a surplus of housing.

How?

A domain joined Windows laptop should have GPOs to remove the ads and shit also SCCM/Intune software center / company portal to install the apps you need.

I said documentary but it was tiny french lunch news video (15min) about blind couples from 15 years ago, I tried to google generic terms but got nothing.

to add to the video, it was overwhelming to see the trio operate in such sweet harmony (as opposed to the fun or sometimes not so fun chaos of the usual family)

Finally! Given the large overall percentage of web bandwidth that’s video this will really help.

Hopefully Apple pushes this over HEVC/VVC garbage in their next release.
Seconded. Already breathing easier as well.

Also, a good example of the sort of attitude we've come to expect from WP folks, and from which the sudden Pro-plan changes departed.
Why were you a “colossal douchebag” to people?

Happy to chat! Send me a message on Twitter or via email (email now in bio) and we'll set something up.
I must be missing something, because from what I can tell your screen recording does not in any way counter the claims being made in the tweet. Firstly, you do indeed see the "There's no need to download a new web browser" message on Bing. Secondly, the recording finishes just before we see the Firefox installer which is the point when, unless I'm mistaken, the "To protect your PC we recommend only running Microsoft verified apps" allegedly appears.
I think I should be a conservative, apparently they can read people's minds. At least you seem to have that capability that you know all the masked people are just wearing them to signal to others.

And what is this moan about hair all about? Are you trying to refer to the Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut "incident"? Or are you one of those folks going around telling long-haired people to, "get a job, hippie!"?
Their decisions are easy to understand if you understand the motivations of the company. Which is not to please end user consumers buying retail consumer computers
Ironically I was discussing my nudie jeans 30 minutes ago. Which makes this comment feel weird.

Nudie Jeans definitely honours their repair policy, but what I find is that their jeans wear much faster than others (Deisel Jeans being the most hard-wearing so far).

At some point your jeans look so janky from all the repairs (and they become uncomfortable as the crotch are gets patched and becomes double the thickness) that the utility, fit, comfort and look of the jeans is terrible, to the point where you probably don't want to wear them.

I have 5 pairs of nudie jeans, they all end up like this.

When it comes to Shoes I recommend R.M.Williams. I have a pair of their garden shoes, i have worn them every single day for the last year and they look almost new (save a few creases where my feet bend), they're also repairable and have passed many teardowns. https://www.rmwilliams.com.au/

PhD is not schooling. It's a research job. You get paid to do a PhD.
This is likely a side effect of the FCC rules that requires devices to prevent software modifications that adjust the rf power.

Although this could conceivably be open source friendly with such controls only on the radio software, so far manufacturers have responded by simply locking down the devices.

As a prime example, ASUS merlin is actually open source and compatible with a number of WiFi 6 routers: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng

However, directly in response to the FCC rules, ASUS has restricted the ability of end users to havk on their own devices, giving only one person the ability to publish signed builds.

Hi. Started from Plymouth, went to Banjul.

Car was an old Skoda Felicia Estate. I gave it a going over before starting the trip, which really meant changing the head gasket (it was blown when I bought it, that's why it was cheap). I made a sump guard out of scrap metal, and aside from some old forest tyres (I had a felicia as a stage rally car at the time too, so had plenty of spares) that was it.

No issues whatsoever over 4400 miles in the car. Didn't miss a beat - one of the reasons I chose the car was because I knew them well.

I did have to convert it to left hand drive before doing the rally, which was interesting - I had some LHD bits (dashboard, steering rack) already, but the wiring was done by re-soldering the RHD loom over to be LHD for the driver (as an LHD loom swap wasn't an option as so much of it was different, it would have been more work doing that).

Also had a fun point where the car had LHD steering wheel, but RHD pedalbox, so it could be driven by two people at the same time. Only moved it up the drive like this as I didn't fancy explaining that to the police / insurance company!
Looks really polished and I love the minimalist design.

One thing I've been wondering that a lot of web platforms offer: how do you allow users to bring their custom domain with TLS? What's the tech behind that and how does the process work?

Your skin turns read and feels hot, like a sunburn. It's the number one side effect of high dose niacin. There are some prescription extended release prescription niacins to reduce that effect, but it still happens. It's very uncomfortable, which is a real problem for something you take daily.
Screw that! For my interviews.i always wear a suit.

If they can't appreciate the effort. That's on them.

Is that surprising to anyone at this point? Big companies have proven times and times again that they absolutely can treat their customers the way they do. Whining won't cut it. Spill all the shit you can on Windows, people still won't stop using their only daily driver.

I could host a second instance somewhere. Or maybe even other people could! That would also be good in terms of decentralisation as well. I need to find a cool domain name though that people like because mataroa wasn't so much a success given yours and many other people's feedback :D

Multiple authors might be too much for mataroa. But it could be inspiration for another project. Like a mataroa-style Notion alternative.
It's most certainly not enough data. There is no way that academic OUTCOMES of a 4-year degree program can be measured by a couple exams from introductory courses during a time when classes were moved to being online.

Even if this "robust" data indeed showed that academic outcomes were worse over the course of one year, how can that possibly be attributed to not viewing students' SAT scores instead of, say, the entire classroom experience being upended and moved online?
> Still, being a part-time graduate student while running a business wasn’t easy. I forgot the meaning of ‘spare time’ for a while, and my company took a financial hit because I could not work as much as I had before, and had to turn down clients.

It's somewhat different if you can get a PhD part-time and have the income of a business to support you. By all means, get a PhD on the side if you can make it work.
Creating something Turing-incomplete is not the same thing as using something not Turing-incomplete. For instance, the people who created Houdini are programmers. The people who use Houdini are not. I can program a dishwasher using a FSA, but that doesn’t make people who use dishwashers programmers.
What are some good, current sources for learning about and implementing numerical algorithms like those in Numerical Recipes?

I get that for most just using Numpy, GSL or similar library would be sufficient, but what if you really want to implement them yourself.
I've just finished playing through Elden Ring via Valve's Proton and now moving onto Hitman 3 from Epic Games Store via regular Wine. Somehow it works even better than the Windows versions (Elden Ring has noticeably less stutters, for example)

VR games however, especially with Oculus Quest, are extremely problematic
