Their hard drives are pretty reliable as far as I've seen, which would seem to indicate that they don't regularly mess up the drivers I guess.
I don't keep up on phone rumors. Do you think the 14 will stick with the A15 to get the regular iPhone lower in price compared to the Pro?
And my point was, and is, that I don't think he's making the point you seem to think he is making. And sure, he's got every right to be opinionated, but you're not quoting or citing anything (although I understand you're referencing a tweet of his re: Cyberpunk 2077 and are referencing an interview), so what we are working with here are extrapolations that you and I are attributing to him.
If you're using reddit on mobile, use any app besides the official one. Personally, I use Bacon Reader.

If you're on desktop, use the old reddit layout, and install RES if you can.

Nearly every complaint I see about reddit's UX is because of people using the official app (Seriously, how is the official app the worst one?) or the new reddit UX.

As for Twitter, I've never felt its website or app to be slow on mobile.

All these posts like "See what Brexit (unintentionally) did!?"

This is exactly the point of nationalistic policies. Make foreign trade more expensive and you're effectively subsidizing your national industries.

This reminds me of how the US spent 2 decades moving factories overseas while aiming at becoming a white collar economy. When the factory jobs did finally disappear, US politicians did the "Surprised Picachu" face at the situation they explicitly aimed at creating, and then successfully created.

> them successfully exploiting a hole our media dug for themselves

You're arguing that RT exploits a hole the West dug itself into. The comment you're responding to argues the hole is besides the point. The exploit would work with or without it. (The fact that all media is lumped into a single category, a fallacy, seems to prove the point.)
I was thinking more 50km/hr. That will pace cars on residential streets which can be enough to get around for many types of trips, still safe, and has a chance of flying under the radar of most authorities.
Yes, that is exactly my point. BM might have elements in common with other, more questionable, factions, but this does not make BM’s style into “signaling”. Likewise, mere torches by themselves, is not necessarily signaling. I mean, nazis at one point thought that torches were cool, for normal human reasons. Might not normal people also think that torches are cool, for the same, normal human reasons?

My son is crazy about this game.

This game has trading mechanics that are in some ways like what "metaverse" games claim to do with NFTs. The difference is (1) no blockchain and (2) he finds the trading really fun.
As in Black Mirror's "Fifteen Million Merits".
Making a game is at least an order of magnitude harder than making a website.

Ridiculous statement. Making a polished AAA game is orders of magnitudes harder than making a React ToDo Clone. Making a Tetris or Snake clone is orders of magnitude easier than making Gmail. With engines like Unity you go from never having written a game to a shitty 3D fps game in a weekend.
I was just thinking that Samsung's recent chip manufacturing capabilities appear to look somewhat disappointing on paper. Didn't expect a confirmation right away.

I used to buy their products, because back in the early 2010s they we're successful as an alternative to Apple - in terms for bang/buck ratio at least.

I won't be switching anytime soon because my Galaxy S8 is holding up decently, but news such as these here will make me think twice about choosing them again.

Engineering programs especially in top schools are way too hard for what's required to learn programming. And by top school I mean a top school that admits less than 10% of applicants. These programs are way more challenging than normal. Failing one of these programs does not mean you can program.

Also when I say anyone can do it, I mean anyone with around an average IQ or above. Obviously if you're mentally challenged it's a different story. Obviously new born babies don't have the IQ to learn programming.

I've went to schools where they admit anyone with a pulse and I've also been to actual top schools that are highly selective. I can tell you these programs that admit anyone feel significantly easier because they are. Doing well in one of these schools is not an achievement. I remember coming out top of the class at these schools simply studying for a test the night before.

But the reasoning as to why people fail in these "easy" schools is not what you think. It's exactly what the other replier said but more. Learning programming is not easy, and many people don't have the discipline or the study habits necessary to achieve it in a class room environment as well. They may look like they're studying hard... but a good number them aren't doing the necessary studying to succeed. They may not even be interested in programming. But make no mistake, if you make the curriculum longer and easier or if these people spend the time to grind, most people will succeed in learning programming.
I agree with your critique of many of the derivatives (without naming any in particular), but feel it also applies to the original. And while the original has some bright points, so do many of the derivatives.

Maybe the answer is there is no self.

In the book "Why Buddhism is True", the author tries to layout the Buddhist idea of "not-self". It's tough to grasp and apparently takes years of meditation and thought to truly understand, but it can be summed up by explaining what the self isn't.

> He conducts this search systematically; he goes through what are known as the five “aggregates” that, according to Buddhist philosophy, constitute a human being and that human’s experience. Describing these aggregates precisely would take a chapter in itself, but for present purposes we can label them roughly as the (1) physical body (called “form” in this discourse), including such sense organs as eyes and ears; (2) basic feelings; (3) perceptions (of, say, identifiable sights or sounds); (4) “mental formations” (a big category that includes complex emotions, thoughts, inclinations, habits, decisions); and (5) “consciousness,” or awareness—notably, awareness of the contents of the other four aggregates. The Buddha runs down this list and asks which, if any, of these five aggregates seem to qualify as self. In other words, which of the aggregates evince the qualities you’d expect self to possess?

He then goes to poke holes in all the aggregates, primarily through arguing that we don't control any of these (including emotions), so without control, can you really call it self?

Example of dispelling the first aggregate:

> For starters, he links the idea of self to the idea of control. Listen to what he says about the aggregate of “form,” the physical body: “If form were self, then form would not lead to affliction, and it should obtain regarding form: ‘May my form be thus, may my form not be thus.’ ” But, he notes, our bodies do lead to affliction, and we can’t magically change that by saying “May my form be thus.” So form—the stuff the human body is made of— isn’t really under our control. Therefore, says the Buddha, it must be the case that “form is not-self.” We are not our bodies

I don't know, it still leaves the hard question of consciousness unanswered. Why does it feel like we're conscious. But perhaps we have the wrong hierarchy. Maybe consciousness is base layer and physical reality is downstream, rather than the reverse.
But will you ever notice, other than if you obsess over benchmarks or play video games all day long?

> The problem about the Internet today, is that most people thinks Amazon+Google+Facebook+Twitter+other big brands is the Internet. They forgot that they can host things themselves without those big tech companies.

With all due respect the problem with the internet is that you (and many others) don't know what the Internet is.

You and many others believe the Internet is what the internet is capable of. It's not. The Internet is exactly what it is to the vast majority of people that use it. And that's Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok...

It doesn't matter that the internet could be what you want it to be, not that it once was. But it's not now, and history isn't on your side - ask usenet or IRC.

So here we are and yet again technologists are shocked or in denial after believing that the existence of a technology would somehow overpower the interests of the powerful and the system they've built - instead of realizing it will be co-opted by them.

The martial arts adage - don't bring a weapon unless you know how to use it / control it. Otherwise it will simply be taken from you and used against you.

If you are a technologist and failing to rigorously think through the negative cases and faults of your tech, or how your tech can be used against the interests of people or society you are a failure of a technologist. It doesn't matter if you're building an ML model, crypto, or a TikTok app.

As an example, where does crypto end?

1. High efficiency money laundering, permitting sanctions evading (like Russia would love to do right now on a massive scale), and the medium for illegal business like digital extortion / ransomware

2. Just as regulated as the existing banking/credit system, centralized in a few exchanges, failing at any anonymity, no better than existing banking and CCs, while using up massive resources.

Neither is any good and yet tons are in denial that that's where we'll end up.

Technology does not exist independent of society at large as much as we'd like it to.
I tried this out, thanks to tanalor's post. I find it more difficult and more enjoyable than Wordle. There may be a large novelty factor clouding my judgement though.
You’re right - diffusion of responsibility and technological layering / obfuscation is a great way to avoid making anybody feel bad about doing something bad. It’s quite possible that this was done in a clever way that avoided anyone implementing anything they felt bad about. But ultimately, you can’t “just doing my job” or “i didn’t know it would be used that way” your way out of the harm your job does - it’s your responsibility to notice and act, preferably proactively, but there’s always retroactively.

Harmony in Design: A Synthesis of Literature
The tool works well enough, though.

They seem to be really bad at user experience stuff specifically.

In their defense, this is exactly how most engineers would run a company I think, haha. The only problem is that they are in literally every segment, including ones where usability is really important.
Interesting. I was not aware of this document. Thanks for the link!

The recommendation against using multiple connectors on a single board seems to be largely ignored in the wild though. I've seen similar products that use two or even three DF40-series connectors on the same PCB. Here's one example from the top of my head:

IIRC, Sprint was just increasing the bass somewhere in their connection

That was AT&T's method. AT&T even had a demo line that you could call that would play various sounds and music and you could press a button to switch between the modes to hear the difference.

But you can't really think that a POTS call sounds better than a modern VOIP call?

Yes, I can. Because just before the pandemic, I was able to use a real POTS network in a remote part of the country. Called from one ranch to another over a rural switch. And it was awesome.

The quality of a call is about more than its audio bandwidth. If that was true, then people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an iPod and a vacuum tube amp. And, again, latency is a massive factor, as is true asynchronous communication. Arguing over POTS is a whole different thing than arguing over VOIP.

People who defend VOIP claiming it's just as good have never done a side-by-side comparison. The only advantage VOIP has over anything is the usual "make it cheaper" race to the bottom.
Can't see any mention of multisort. Does it have multisort? Great look and feel!
The language used suggests to me a possible cycle of ennui -> "a-ha" moments of emotional investment -> confusion as to why having rationalized a purpose doesn't lead to consistent gratification, or uncertainty over said purpose -> "what is my purpose?". Repeat.

What you specified as something you love are abstractions, removed from the action/labor. There are many jobs that solve problems, there are many ways to innovate. You can try to convince yourself that x or y should feel meaningful because "it does something important", but that works both ways - you can just as easily think "none of this seems important at all". Ultimately, I don't think you can rationalize work as being meaningful - it just feels meaningful. Rationalizing it works temporarily (like in those "ah-ha" self-motivating moments), but not lastingly. If you were told that pressing a red button all day would save lives, would it feel meaningful? Next question: do you enjoy being at a desk writing code and shipping products? I think we need to look to our daily actions and behavior, get closer to the metal. What this reveals to me is that there is probably a broad range of labor I could find meaning in, and certain conditions really make or break enjoyment. Meaning is sensory to me, it's a question of achieving "flow" states. You could try to recalibrate things at your leisure too: get more social validation, get more exercise, work with your hands as a hobby, volunteer if you enjoy it - whatever is lacking.
Actually I never thought about this problem this way, but it seems like in an abstract way the difference between the password and the revocation lists is that of the size of the set:

What is larger, the set of all passwords, or the set of all revoked users?

In most cases the set of all revoked users would be multiple orders of magnitude smaller than the set of of all passwords.

Thanks for writing this message, it made it click for me for some reason.

I don't know why you think this. There is much structural regularity in a large text corpus that is descriptive of relationships in the world. Eventually the best way to predict this regularity is just to land in a portion of parameter space that encodes the structure. But again, in the limit of a maximally descriptive text corpus, the best way to model this structure is just to encode the structure of the world. You have given no reason to think this is inherently impossible.

TLDR: The author discuss its subjectivity towards the language. In short, they're not a fan of how zig handles errors, some loop constructs and the language design regarding keywords and built-in functions. They will not use the language even though it comes with interesting innovations.

On the first two points, it's disappointing not to see a discussion on the goals of zig and why these choices were made [0]. Like any trade-off, there is a reason behind it.

The third point, which occupies the biggest paragraph, is somewhat irrelevant to me.

An interesting take but which remains at the surface. Might not be worth the 5 minutes it takes to read it.

Bruce Sterling should also be remembered as a major contributor to the formation of the genre, on par with Gibson and Stephenson.

Yup, the versions of the toolchain components required for a project to build should be specifiable at the project in an format actionable by the main build tool. Running a project should never require more than "git clone $project && $build-cmd".

It should never be Nix's business (or any other OS) to provide elements of a project's toolchain. Reciprocally, projects should go out of their way to not depend on OS installed toolchain components.
> I don't feel being misleaden.

That doesn't mean you weren't.

The rest of your comment almost reads like stockholm syndrome - or mostly just rationalizing being misled.
VOIP needs added latency when done over a mobile connection. Digital mobile connections aren't the most stable or reliable. I can ping Google from my phone and get results anywhere between 30 and 300 ms. With latency being all over the place, you have to add a significant buffer to avoid audio cutouts.

And personally, I'd rather have a little latency added than have to talk over a shitty POTS line. I always had a hard time understanding people over it.
ABSTRACT

Classical theories of harmony have been used to explain phenomena like beauty, happiness, health, virtue, pleasure, peace, and even ecological sustainability. With the intent of making these theories more accessible to designers, this article reviews the conception of harmony from about 500 BCE to the present. It begins with a brief overview of harmony in classical Chinese and Greek philosophy. Then it examines the role of harmony in the renaissance, the scientific revolution, and the early modern period across topics in aesthetics, ethics, physics, politics, and economics. Finally, turning to the 20th century, this article highlights the conceptual function of harmony in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and design. This synthesis concludes with a review of applications and implications for contemporary designers. An essential conclusion of this article is that harmony involves the integration of diversity into a greater whole; harmony is not pure agreement or “sameness.” Overall, we suggest that classical principles of harmony might serve as a theoretical framework to help designers develop a more sustainable and vibrant vision of the future.

Anecdata:

I recently visited Amsterdam with my wife. On the less active days, just leaving our room 3x a day for food and weed put us way over 10k steps every day. We were hitting 30k on our really touristy days. Now I'm back at my house in an American suburb and struggling to get 5k naturally.

From my point of view, the problem is most of the built environment caters toward cars and not enough toward outdoor living space.
Darktable is an incredible piece of software, especially considering it is free and open source. Thank you developers!!
It's difficult to keep those local industries going when international competition can undercut them and WTO membership hampers your ability to compensate for this. Joining the WTO (and several other lesser-known organizations) is simply giving away part of your sovereignty and ability to react to domestic needs in favor of access to cheap goods and services.
This was my experience as well. Another interesting point here is that a top programmer can singlehandedly do tasks that would take a dozen or a hundred regular programmers working together.

I'm confident that if you took a super-rare race condition in a web service and set me to figuring it out in parallel with a team of a few dozen random web coders off Reddit, I'd figure it out first

With factors like that at play you really can't commoditize software engineering. If all the local companies decided to put the squeeze on workers, new companies would spring up, poach the best workers, and crush the old companies. It's happened before, it's happening now, and it'll happen again.
