This is amusing to me. My roof was leaking a few years back and I went to check it out and it turns out some of the nails were never covered and they rusted through. The roof tar just didn't extend all the way to the edge (flat roof). My electrical outlets kept going out so I went to replace a few and realized they were installed with the wires connected to the wrong leads. I had some LED lights that are supposed to last a very long time go out within a year of moving in and replaced them and discovered the ground wires just weren't connected to anything. My neighbor had their furnace installed upside down. Damn near literally everything we have checked in these townhouses turns out to have been done incorrectly, shoddily, or just not finished and covered up in such a way that an inspector wouldn't notice if they didn't take it apart. From what I hear, the city inspector at the time was 84 and didn't bother going upstairs, so since we have 4-story houses, things like the roofing and furnaces seem to have just not been inspected at all.

It's not like this is some slum. They're 600k townhouses a few blocks from city hall in downtown Dallas. I kind of regret deciding to live in the middle of the city at this point. The builder had to fix our water main for free when it was discovered it had a joint running through where the driveway meets out foundations, causing it to split when the blocks sheered in cold weather. The guy that came out to fix it (the builder's son no less) told me townhouse construction was a joke. It's impossible to find a legit tradesman who will do it. Apparently they all prefer the suburbs. I guess putting up pre-fab houses is faster and more profitable or whatever. So we get the lowest common denominator fraudsters living downtown. I'm kind of amazed some of these guys are still alive. I've been watching a construction project next door for a while. They broke ground three years ago and finally put walls up last month. Instead of a real cherry picker, dude's were using some kind of four-story forklift and had a wood crate on top of it with one wall ripped off and they were using that for work. No safety harnesses. A guy the other day was doing window work on a 60 foot ladder, very top, with one person holding it, and he was reaching a good 4 feet to his left to mess with I think a dryer vent. Again, no safety harness.

I'm reasonably sure "poor quality work" is an accurate description of what is happening here.

Let's say you're a mobile user on a 3G network, which a lot of our users are. With a SSR app (that's cached behind Cloudflare), they can see a document in about 100ms max.

With a fully client-side rendered app, you're talking multiple, multiple seconds while they're staring at a blank white screen.

Try it in real life and you'd quickly see your idea would be a terrible user experience.

I don't think using them is illegal in Canada at least. My understanding is that distributing copy-written content is illegal (it's a civil issue and they need to prove damages) but downloading is not in any way illegal.
I don’t know about building codes in Britain, but in almost all of the US it would be illegal to build a carbon copy of the beloved older cities we have, because huge roads, parking lots, and setbacks are all mandatory.
Any state with sufficient laws can enforce exchanges, businesses, etc. to blacklist wallets which have been identified as foreign owned - if there are sanctions / embargos against said country/countries.

Of course, there are ways to obfuscate the money trail, but if they start handing out hard prison time and fines, that alone will probably deter most.

So while you still have a "bank", so to speak, you're still limited to whom you can do business with.
I don't want a machine I depend on to change its behavior out from under me. I don't trust the manufacturer to make only changes that are in my best interest - or, more simply, to only make changes which suit my preferences. I would rather evaluate the machine before I choose to buy it, buy it as it is, and feel secure knowing that it will continue to be nothing more and nothing less than what I bought, unless I decide I want to upgrade or change it.
well, same could be said for Facebook. Only now, less than 20y later, we're all scrolling through endless feeds and digging comment section trenches of the latest culture wars
Another Lemur Pro owner. Short essence: Casing quality is rather poor, if you like "used look" after 6 months, you may actually enjoy it. Wears off very fast. However being able to modify their firmware (I remapped quite some keys) and given that the battery can run up to 2 business days, I'd consider buying this device again. No hardware/software (using their Pop_OS!) issues since using for it 15 months now. Ah, and I like how slim and light weight it is (roughly 1kg).
Or better yet: use Cloudflare Tunnel to connect your origin to Cloudflare without exposing any inbound ports. I think you can also have Cloudflare present a client certificate that you can verify before responding.
People rarely ate out because most people were single income families and there was one adult that had time for food preparation. Today prepared foods and eating out are a necessity rather then a convenience for most couples.

Food has also gotten much cheaper relative to what it was in the 1970’s. Some would argue that it has also reduced in quality.
> In my opinion, all of this would be fun and games if it weren’t for the massive negative externalities all of this cause in terms of environmental damage and accelerating the climate catastrophe.

The climate externalities are significant, but they're not the only problem. If the whole cryptocurrencies space shifted to Proof of Stake tomorrow, cryptocurrencies would still have a tremendously bad effect by increasing wealth inequality (because just as with Proof of Work, it's baked in to the code).
i'd second this. i set up a Tailscale vpn account and now just RDP into my dev machine at home to do any coding on my spare time.
Lenovo has some pretty good sales on thinkpad X1s (at least they do in Canada - didn't check the US site). But, if you're in Canada, I just bought this: https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16834233446?Description=gigabyte...

It's got a gorgeous 4K OLED screen, a quite decent CPU and GPU, and it's currently $350 off + a $300 mail in rebate (there was an additional $350 off over the easter weekend, too). The track pad is not my favorite, but it's good enough, and the keyboard is very decent. I haven't had it very long and mostly it's plugged in so I can't comment too much about battery life.

My biggest complaint is that the screen is too good. When I'm done with the laptop and come up to my desktop, my IPS screens look washed out and sad. :P

Edit: I didn't buy the X1, I bought a Gigabyte Aero 15.
Controversial opinion: Windows is better for development now that WSL exists. Not a fan of using MacOS' proprietary flavor of it.

And windows computers will have 5nm processors soon enough with comparable performance to m1. Yes, the process/fab matters in perf, not just the design
It's not like new architectures appear very quickly, much less adopted very quickly. The benefits of maintenance overhead reduction and development speed increase, far outweight the theoretical downside of having to port LLVM to that new architecture.
Also, if you look closely, many of the boundaries are just dirt path, not maintained road. And some don't have roads - it just appears that way from above because one crop/field ends and another starts.

But, yeah, the amount of roads, even just basic gravel or dirt double-track, is pretty amazing. I knew some of it existed, but didn't quite realize it spanned the entire middle third of the US until just now.
If someone is trying to get to the moon by climbing successively higher trees, are you doing them a disservice by reminding them that the highest tree is not tall enough to reach there? Especially when they are burning large amounts of resources trying to get there?

If people are genuine about solving the world's poverty and inequality problems, recognizing that cryptocurrencies are unlikely to help with those problems is a valuable first step.
It’s not that it’s highly coupled, just that it’s still the early days and only x86_64 was on the roadmap. Arm64 is planned, and will hopefully make it into Ruby 3.2

Greasemonkey injects scripts into the content context [1], which is (arguably) more secure than injecting them directly into the page. From there they run with similar permissions to the extension which installs them. They can't be blocked by the page's CSP settings, and requests they make aren't subject to the same-origin policy. On the other hand, they're isolated from the page, which provides an additional layer of protection from the page accidentally getting access to privileged APIs like GM.xmlHttpRequest, which is a historic issue with user script managers.

ViolentMonkey supports this API, but unfortunately doesn't use it by default. You can enable it with `// @inject-into content` in the header.

Firefox additionally has an API and context specifically for user scripts (the userScript API), but GreaseMonkey doesn't use this unfortunately. A pull request adding support for it to either GM or ViolentMonkey would be nice if someone knowledgeable were so inclined. This API provides some additional protection (scripts are subject to SOP unless the extension breaks them out, and scripts are in addition isolated from each other), so it's a "nice-to-have" but not totally necessary if your user scripts come from trustworthy sources (i.e. you write them yourself).

No, there are far more charities to help black people than white people, which is in itself not controversial. What is controversial though is replacement migration of white people in North America and Europe (the last of which they are actually indigenous) by black people because the western economic elite find it more economical than to enable the conditions necessary to raise the natality rates

> If you feel the urge to “cyberbully” someone in crypto, direct it at the powerful players behind crypto projects that are actively taking advantage of the vulnerable.

Phrased like that, sure, how can anyone disagree?

But what about urging folks to not loose their shirts in a scam? Situations like going to a wedding, meeting up with relatives/family-friends, and finding out they're about to get involved in Amway, bizarre religions, Tony Robbins or other self-help guru's, or nutritional supplement scams? Does it ever work to intervene? Probably not often, but there's value in speaking to them about it. Same thing with crypto.

One useful thing you can do is to direct folks to the "Line Goes Up" video from Dan Olson (https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g). It's an epic, 2 hour long take-down that's perhaps the most comprehensive and air-tight argument against crypto thus far. Does it convince people? I hope so. It should?

It pains me to see even smart progressive orgs like Popula (https://popula.com/) get themselves involved in crypto. And I don't want the most vulnerable people to be left "holding the bag" when this stuff inevitably pops.

The UK’s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor was designed specifically as a “drop in” replacement for coal fired boilers as it produced the same steam pressure at the outlet and so could be connected to the same turbine/generator set.

Additionally, many of them criss-cross private land. And some segments of the US population is pretty particular about keeping people of their land. Yeah, hard to do in the mid-west and plains, but that doesn't stop them putting up threatening signs all over.

When I briefly used Cadence's stuff I always thought about how fixing DRC errors could be crowdsourced as an "idle game" because it's so puzzle-like. The other thing was how it's even slower than Vivado...

Using RL to automate DRC fixes, and modeling standard cells as graph/flow problems are things I'd love to learn more about. What papers would you recommend reading to get started (for a grad student already familiar with machine learning basics)?
Yeah, that's not creating energy.
Yup - the tool that will randomly prevent you from opening any 3rd party app if Apple's signature checking service goes down.

The tool that defaults to a case insensitive but confusingly case preserving fs.

The tool that has been issued in variations that literally can't be used while closed, or if you plug the charging cable into the wrong "all the same" usb-c port.

The tool that licenses away virtualization, making development slower and harder, in an attempt to force companies to buy them.

The tool that used have a nice little $500 dollar surcharge if you want to put an extra 8gb of ram in it. (Don't worry - it's only $800 to go from 16gb to 32gb today - much better...)

> I'm not applying this social pressure to self censor

The pressure is on being educated enough to be polite with the people you discourse with.

I do not know how we can meet in the middle ground since you believe that using accurate words to describe people is censor.

Yes, what outside communities call you is outside of your control. However, what you call outside community is within your control.

Since it is within your control and you can choose to use any word you want (as long as you are fine with the repercussions), this is not censor. You can absolutely call anyone by any word you want.

That said, refusing to expand your vocabulary will diminish the range of you thoughts. Keeping with the previous example, calling two different and unassociated tribes by the same name will prevent you from learning about them separately.
Why the crisis of academic credibility may not have a solution
Motivation: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18481

"The motivation behind this is that we are facing challenges in terms of code maintainability. As you know, JIT compilers can get very complex, and C99 doesn't offer many tools to manage this complexity. There are no classes and methods, limited type checking, and it's hard to fully separate code into modules, for instance."

"We believe that having access to object oriented programming and a more expressive type system would help us manage growing complexity better and also improve the safety/robustness of YJIT. For instance we would like to add Windows support and a new backend to YJIT. That means we’ll have two separate backends (x86, arm64) and we’ll need to support two different calling conventions (Microsoft, SystemV), but currently, we have limited tools to build the abstractions needed, such as preprocessor macros and if-statements."
Doing something fully on the client is a nice idea, if your users all have fast connections, high processing power, and are all visiting from a desktop instead of a mobile device.

As soon as you have anyone visiting on a mobile device, and particularly on a mobile network, it's far superior to render it on the server.
I work for an MSP that uses Datto to back up lots of servers and saved our bacon after the Kaseya hack! (Ironic how they're buying you now.) And I remember when you were using VBox, QEMU is much improved. Having QEMU boot up the backed-up VM to a screenshot that you can just email to us really helps prove to auditors that yes, our backups are tested! Now just replace all the spinning hard disks in your data centers with NVMe so we can get decent performance. :)

So… maybe?
The only major monetary value I see to these emulators on Switch is:

- an extra thing to make the money you're paying to play Mario Kart/Smash/etc online with your friends a bit easier to stomach
- an extra multiplayer option to have when your friends are bored of the other games

Gameboy games don't offer much of the latter and I think the general response to seeing GB games on a big screen at this stage is probably closer to "I can't believe it was so primitive!" than anything else.

When you go past the number of people who use emulators on PC/android devices, the number who engage in netplay services is astronomically low because it requires a bit of effort on both sides. I'd imagine the novelty of easy access functional netplay is probably worth drastically more than a more complete or better optimised set of emulation options, and even then it's not worth that much.
> If high school was the significant factor, why has Canada never really become all that significant of a power? Several European powers are more powerful than Canada despite their supposed lack of education

The same reason as why Norway or Switzerland are not great powers despite being rich - population. At the end of WW2 Canada had 12.5mn people, an order of magnitude less than Germany or Japan, let alone the US or the USSR.

Since then Canada's population has tripled, while the German/French/Polish/Italian population has been flat-ish, so now Canada is considered in the same ballpark -- but it is still one tenth of the size of the US, with 1/10th of the potential for military/espionage funding, 1/10 of the market to bootstrap global market leading companies etc.
