Why does knowing who else is using something have any impact on your ability to love it? Sounds like it's just a motivation problem perhaps?

For example, I make use of Plan 9 daily, and I don't really give a whip if anyone else thinks it's worth anything at all.

I also use Emacs lisp in pretty strange ways (automating workflows by cross-querying REST services in ways I used to do by hand). I've even demonstrated it for coworkers, and I think some of them may be using the same techniques, but I'm not sure, and I don't care. If they have questions about it, I'll answer them. If not, they can say "that guy's weird", and I'm totally fine with that.

Outnerd the nerds I say! Let your freak flag fly!

In all seriousness I encourage people to write some code. Play around! Share your experiences. It's good for you and everyone else to foster new ideas and be innovative. It's especially good if the technology in question is surrounded by a welcoming community. It provides an additional sense of belonging to something, and who knows you might just actually enjoy yourself!

You've got the first spark of curiosity, now you've just got to stoke the flames, or not!
Those comments on your critical thinking is what is worrying me about todays society. Even going as far as offending you, wow.
Love that people are doing this research.

Maybe I'm delusional, but I found it positively surprising that:
1. The Ukrainian user saw videos about the war despite Russia and China wanting to suppress news around it, and I'm sure TikTok taking pressure around it.
2. It mostly isn't algorithmic deception, it's a byproduct of the fact that they had to turn off new video uploads in response to a crazy fake news law.
Blue checks do not equal blue voices, but you already know that. Twitter is the worst mainstream platform when it comes to right wing propaganda and scientific misinformation. Free speech in this case is code for saying anything without consequence and weaponizing it at morons. Twitter excels at it already, let's not make it worse.
Most FAANG people would rather get government jobs with employment security. You want devs from other startups.
I don't think Gibson minds the aesthetic in particular; what he is saying, if I understand him correctly, is that nobody cares about cyberpunk except for the aesthetic. There's nothing beyond it. If there is something, it's the same old tropes about big bad evil 80s-style corporations, usually with a vague Japanese or Asian theme. Everything that was novel about cyberpunk has now been absorbed into the mainstream and has become just another trope to be used by videogame/movie/anime authors.

It's as lazy as it gets, and definitely not punk.
Yup, that's why the word "safety" is in there. I probably could have put that better. (It also includes e.g. feathering rather than just trying to stay close to rated power, speed, and torque limits)
> Thank god Trump didn't succeed in effectively disbanding Nato. Imagine what Europe would look like now if that happened (as Bolton mentioned in cca 2018).

This take bothers me, it's a sound bite repeated at nauseam with no backing what so ever. As a Romanian, I kept a close watch on US politics in Eastern Europe. Nothing that Trump did was pointing to disbanding NATO, on the contrary, he increased the US presence in Eastern Europe and was tougher on Putin than Obama was. Why do you think Russia-haters Poland began to like the US so much under Trump?

https://notesfrompoland.com/2020/01/12/poland-the-only-europ...

I feel like this is like a propaganda take: he forced countries to increase NATO spending, but somehow he wanted to weaken NATO?

He wanted Germany and Europe off of Russian gas, even blocking Nord Stream2 (upsetting the Germans), but somehow he was working for Putin? Btw, Biden unblocked NS2 in his first week in office, for no good reason.

Also true of Lord of the Rings, or watching Star Wars etc if you didn't read/watch it early on (either when it first came out to the world, or early on in your life when you were new to the genre).

I won't speculate on why this is the case, but some people claim its because the innovations are copied so quickly the original becomes just another copy of itself.
I couldn't finish the book, it just had too much unexplained fictional techno-jargon to be able to enjoy for me. I know thats the style of immersion he was going for, but it didn't click for me, even though I'm a big sci-fi reader.
Is Elon a Republican or Conservative? I've seen variations of this regarding balancing ownership and improving free speech, but aside from a few cryptic tweets about cancel culture, has Elon ever said anything? In interviews (especially the famous Rogan interview) he seems pretty disinterested in politics.
Neuromancer was groundbreaking in its time. I read it when it came out in 1984 and it blew me away.

These days so much other media has been influenced by it that it doesn't look nearly as original.

But just imagine reading it when there were no books or movies about:

- cyberspace inhabited by AIs

- neural interfaces

- corporate armies

- insanely rich people living in Earth orbit

- genetically engineered assassins with body augmentations

- slum-dwelling hackers who break in to corporate data stores

Neuromancer brought all this and more in to popular consciousness in a blinding flash.

After Neuromancer, Gibson came out with Count Zero (which I liked even more than Neuromancer itself) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (which wasn't nearly as good as either of the books that preceded it). I stopped reading Gibson after that.
Can someone give like the 120 seconds elevator pitch to why you need any of this stuff? I know how to use pyenv, virtualenv, Poetry, autoenv, you name it. I just never have found any practical use for it. But what if you want to have multiple versions of the same package installed? I don't. If some project I work on requires tf 2.x-1.0 and I only have tf 2.x.0 then I just rm -rf ~/.local/lib/python3.x and reinstall the dependencies anew. Furthermore, most Python maintainers do a terrific job in keeping up with breaking api changes in their dependencies (which I'm very grateful for) so it's quite rare that I need to use a Python package that is not the current release.
* I don’t think you are appreciating the gain in power corporations have acquired in the last 40 years. Those fears of corporations becoming more powerful turned out to be very justified.

* Cyberpunk is a very humanist point of view. So often the tragedy in cyberpunk is that humanity is oppressed by a bureaucratic or technical system.

* All art is a product of its time.
> No, because that's pretty inaccurate and tendentious framing. I highly doubt they "lied." IIRC, the media, in general, reported on social media outrage which was actually happening and then later reporting corrected the misconceptions that were fueling that outrage.

> They probably should not have covered the outrage itself until the later reporting was done, but that's a far cry from "lying."

This is a bit of linguistic gymnastics. I don't know your exact politics, but I'm pretty sure that if Fox News did this kind of thing (which they also do) you'd be plainly calling them out for it. If you can't see that the very reporting that CNN and others did was fueling the very outrage on which they were reporting, and that it was a self-perpetuating cycle of their own making, then I'm at a loss.
> This is discounting all the times people fight back against fascism though.

That's a personal interpretation. In fact, in many ways it doesn't discount it but actually inspires them, asserting that without such efforts society is likely to backslide into fascism fairly easily. Which tbh, if you've lived in the US from 2001 to 2005, or today in Russia or Hungary, you've basically experienced already.
Because that wasn't happening in the first place?
A decent chunk of people in the previous thread were saying he’s doing it to kill the bot that tracks his plane’s movements.
In general, he seems to be an active enough user that there’s concerns he will use his new power as a way to shield himself from the consequences of his activity.
As long as you are obeying the law, then do whatever you think is necessary. No one wants to clean up a mess caused by a 'free spirit'.
The premise of the original comment was that not having a useful place to walk to "just leads to a lot of sitting on the couch" which isn't really helping with getting errands done either, as you imply. Instead of sitting a lot ... just walk a lot. My comment about taking a walk being a "weird phenomenon" was intended to be some sort of joke, but I start to understand where your mindset is coming from ...
The number of people unwilling to accept and be critical of Ukrainian propaganda has been eye-opening to me.

The people that were just railing against “misinformation“ by their political opponents, have been happy to jump all over snake Island, ghost of Kyiv, Z dressed in uniform last year, higher Russian death rate than frontlines of World War II, and going out of their way to ignore neo-Nazi groups there.

No one has to be pro-Russia, to notice all the Ukrainian propaganda. Proves to me that everyone is full of shit when it comes to actual standards of acceptability.
> . Our lives in the US are way too good for revolution.

lol, maybe for "us" they are most people have serious trouble just living and near zero retirement funds
I started buying all workstations and Amigas I could find. To be honest the Amigas are annoying because each and every one need some kind of upgrade or repair in order to work. And then it is the illogical AmigaOS and Workbench where purists are the only ones who truly get it.

I prefer Unix workstations instead and play retro games on my MiSTER.
Limitless energy? Breathtaking hyperbole. Come on.
I don't understand how they're able to just "change their IP" to something that's located in those 2 cities. How does that work, do they have someone running a proxy for them in those 2 locations?
Being useful without over compromising, and continuing to reduce the suffering I cause in others or myself. Constantly improving the balance of self medications I can't seem to tolerate this grim world without. That's plenty.
Be civil. That is the most uncharitable reading of a comment I’ve seen today.

Strongly agree with this! I have the now discontinued eGPU Pro and it rocks. Is normally completely silent and it functions as an actual thunderbolt dock. It’s one of the few eGGUa with a secondary thunderbolt port you can use with a Thunderbolt monitor. (It also supports USB-PD for fast charging an iPad). Half the USB-A ports are 5 Gb/s. I do wish it had etherneT though.

I also recommend the TS3 Plus, though it’s not as rock solid. Mine sometimes has a high frequency noise issue when the DP port is in use, though your resolution changes the hum’s volume. Also it freezes up occasionally, but I used it for 2 years without many troubles.
By Ruby, Python and JavaScript hackery I was meaning rvm, venv / pip, and npm. I have the most experience with rvm, and the hackery part comes from the experience when I created a web interface that could instruct the server to do ruby tasks. Turned out that rvm (and also bundler) does a bunch of stuff to the environment of the user, that's sometimes inaccessible, even if you invoke a "login shell" programatically. One of these "hacks" is doing a bunch of stuff when the user navigates to a Ruby project directory with cd, which is when rvm creates or uses the existing virtual env for the project - named is a specific way based on the directory name. I solved this of course but the discovery was quite annoying.

Regarding Python, I don't have much experience, other than the general feeling that it's fragile and that specific projects work with specific dependency managegers / virtual environments, and they are not really interchangeable or anything. I either could replicate the env or I couldn't. I definitely don't have much of a Python experience.

Now regarding your Java IDE annoyance, I share the same experience. Also the case with Tomcat. IDEs do so much hackery so that user experience is convenient, that you would be hard pressed to replicate the results, and often need to test both because it just doesn't work the same way, due to the different dependencies used, deployment method etc.

Now that I think about it, every single one of the programming ecosystems I used were quite annoying.
Sure, it was more about cost. If you already have a camera or don't mind spending extra to get one then it'll definitely give you better quality. Having said that a high end webcam can still produce good results so there's a tradeoff somewhere. If you're putting decent source material through a really cheap adapter then I think you'd better getting a decent webcam, personally but it you already have the camera then sure.
being compared to neanderthal is shame based compliance

so many folks don’t try because they feel bad.

the key isn’t to up the shame, it’s to show how even a little bit can help.

encourage people to walk more today than yesterday, make one healthy food substitution. small baby steps with encouragement makes people generally happier and less likely to shame binge. Or give up.

you can white knuckle this stuff or find love and enjoy the journey.

I still boot up my maximum-spec Octane2 (2x600MHz R14k, 8GB RAM, VPro V12, PCI shoebox) every so often to bask in the good ol’ days.

After nekochan went offline, there isn’t really a central gathering place for SGI fans anymore, but we are out there.
Yeah I don't see how she made any strategic decisions that set up the long term success for Germany and EU. She's remembered bigly internationally for letting all the migrants in.
But then the article starts debating the fussy details about 7k vs 9k vs 10k steps. Generalising, without strong reason to believe otherwise, any western adult would probably benefit from more activity regardless. Don't scare off baby steps by making 10k a quantum goal but also don't placate minimal effort by applauding 7k - or having walking as your only source of exercise.
Not OSS, but the free version of Davinci Resolve is pretty great.

Mykola. "Ai" ending appears in Russian spelling of the name.
This probably makes a difference for hugo enterprise monorepos. I myself have a workflow similar to yours, but with the following mindset: my local environment is an approximation of what will be in production. I don't need every version to match and if I ever encounter a corner case where this is not true, I'll just deal with it and move on.
Are you serious? In the time it took you to write this comment you could have actually read the article to find the exact answer to your question. It's basically the whole point of the post.
>You seem slightly confused about what 230 does. What it does is allow companies to do some moderation without legally liable as publishers for all content they host.

I did copy and paste the law. It's clear to me what is says and the free speech that is required. Censorship must be done in good faith.

>Without section 230 companies have a choice to either do no moderation or to assume full liability as publishers.

Without section 230 they would assume full liability as publisher.

>Section 230 was created to encorage online moderation by removing the liability that moderation would bring in an offline context.

Section 230 was created to allow entities like twitter to exist. Without section 230 twitter stops existing.

Let's be realistic, Elon just put $9 billion down because his poll showed significant problem with censorship. Fixing this will take twitter from $40 billion to much higher.
I read Neuromancer a few years back, I liked it. I do don't normally read scifi as it tends to annoy me. However this didnt.

One thing that really stuck out for me was that _everyone_ had memory foam mattresses. The slums, the really slick holiday homes, everyone.
Yes, I actually said this in my original post: Arm BIG.little works, which is what M1 is, and embedded works well, which are SoCs. It is much more difficult in AMP systems that aren't necessary only the same die, like automotive Tier 1 products.

Making people smile. I'm a funny, creative guy. I feel like I'm called to help other people enjoy their lives in whatever way I can. I did improv and sketch comedy for a long time and made a lot of people laugh. I work in the games industry and even when my work feels tedious or far removed from the end product, I can close my laptop at the end of every working day content that I did my part to bring a little joy to someone else's world. When I got married I put it in my vows that I'd make my partner laugh out loud at least once a day. As long as I stick to my word, it helps our relationship a lot.
The glaring problem with the measured benefit here is that walking ability is a great determinant of overall health. Any senior able to walk 3k is already well above the others in health outcomes, and less likely to die than the rest, regardless if they walk 3k everyday or not.
It's like claiming driving a Ferrari will make you wealthy, because you observed that Ferrari owners paid off the biggest speeding tickets. Then advising people to buy a Ferrari to be wealthy.
I don't think there's anything uniquely beneficial about walking in comparison to other types of aerobic activity (running, biking, playing a sport) - though it may be more accessible/enjoyable which is important when considering adherence.

It makes sense that mortality risk would be reduced by increasing step count, as that means increasing aerobic activity.

See the 2019 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans: https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-09/Physical_Acti...
Page 35 specifically outlines their justification for the recommendation of 150-300 minutes of moderate physical activity per week for adults.

I will add that something like 80-90% of Americans don't meet the physical activity guidelines (150-300min moderate intensity aerobics + 2 days of muscle strengthening activities for major muscle groups, per week) - walking is one of the most accessible activities and is fairly "easy", so I think this is useful as a blanket recommendation.

This touches on one of my favorite things about Ruby as a language. The functionality you're asking for becomes pretty easy to monkey patch in yourself without breaking your upgrade path or forcing you to maintain a fork.

IMO that easy of tweaking 3rd party libraries is the reason that Ruby's ecosystem is so polished.

If you got your news solely from TikTok, you probably would have know that was real about 500 days before NYT and WaPo finally admitted it.
My first job was at a company that made visual simulation software, and literally everyone had an SGI on their desk (the Indy), and there were also a few refrigerator-sized machines in the server room.

I did development work on the Indy and a much larger 8(!) CPU machine daily for several years. I remember there were some complications related to shared libraries (which, IIRC, were a relatively new feature at the time), but overall I remember those machines working quite well. The Indy was a great daily driver for the time.
> It brings up an interesting point in that physics at the highest level sounds almost like what ill-informed amateurs produce. I have degrees in mathematics and some understanding of physics, but I've watched a few lectures of Ed Witten before, and he might as well be just making it all up.

Iron flow batteries already exist commercially, are even more non-toxic/safe, and they don't require heating up (and keeping hot, while using) the battery.

https://essinc.com/iron-flow-chemistry/

The utility industry isn't really that interested in storing power for an entire season. Very little ROI compared to a system that allows them to balance minute-to-minute or day/night...or transmission infrastructure improvements. Got excess generating capacity? Send it somewhere that doesn't.

I hope that some day in the near future we see home-scale or neighborhood-scale iron flow battery systems so that homeowners, apartment buildings, and small neighborhoods can go off-grid.
