Don't be surprised if they lower the rate after the promotion time. Happened with HSBC w/ 5% APY before 2009 crisis, Robinhood and Marcus before covid.
You can install a sysvinit based stock debian if you wish. I've done it a few times recently, on low memory systems (<512MB) it does make a noticeable difference. It's mostly supported in terms of running, though the install is a bit manual:

There's also instructions for converting a running system, but I've had no luck with that. It just resulted in an unbootable system for me as it couldn't fully remove systemd there.

This seems to be all of academia. Maybe high energy physics is the worst offender, but from what I saw in gradschool, you need to be half charlatan to make it as a tenured professor, otherwise your grants don't get funded and your papers don't get published.

You mean the one that could barely run on 1Ghz phones with 1GB of RAM that the company behind it said they could have gotten it to run on a 128MB RAM first gen iPhone with a 400Mhz processor if Apple had allowed them?
> You’d think that the tools got better but… honestly? Not really...

Really? Aren't debugging interfaces light years ahead of where they were in the 80s? Yamaha's entire DX/SY line predate JTAG. There was no GDB back when Yamaha made the DX7. Parallel interfaces were probably theoretically simpler to debug than modern protocols like i2c and whatnot are today, I admit. And sure, the DX7's 16kb ROM is much smaller in scope than what is in the OP-1.

All these synthesisers perform the actual tone generation on proprietary LSI chips. You'll have a hard time convincing me that ADI's tooling is more difficult to use than whatever EDI tooling was available to Yamaha in 1982. The stakes aren't quite as high in modern software either. If they made an unforeseen design error in the LSI chip, that's game over.

> Battery or mobile products are no joke...

I don't doubt that. No doubt a battery requires a lot of complex design considerations. I'm sure balancing charge, size, and cost is difficult when it comes to batteries. How does this complexity compare to a synth like the SY77 using mains power? It steps that down to 5V, and 12V rails. I can't find the OP-1 schematics right now, I'm guessing it uses a single 5V rail from USB in.

> Then you have overall price...

This is true. I'm more talking about the complexity of its design. I picked the SY77 because it's closer in terms of the amount of features.

> There’s no one right answer to this but...

I don't doubt for a second that Teenage Engineering have some very bright people working there, and that they do great engineering.

3 & 4 - The GOP has consistently stated that the 1st amendment applies to businesses, which is why laws forcing news to, for example, be fair and balanced, are illegal. The GOP has also argued businesses have religious freedom, and so can fire people for being LGBTQ if it goes against the owners "sincerely held religious beliefs".
This is an example of Typescript kinda sorta have some of what Dependent Types will give you. The problem is that the Typescript team hasn’t fully embraced this. So instead of implementing Dependent Types (see Agda/Idris/LEAN), the team is kinda sorta implementing parts of it piece wise, inventing different syntax for each feature as they add it. A bit like templates in C++ ended up kinda sorta implementing a Turing complete functional programming language with the worlds worst syntax. It looks as if Typescript is going down the same road. It’s a bit of a mess compared with Dependently Typed languages (Agda/Idris/…)
Why would you expect current sanctions to help with that? Both DPR and LPR are under sanctions themselves.
I chose my wording carefully to illustrate that the conveyance of emotion, even through jarring phrases, is an important part of language. You can absolutely disagree with the rhetorical style, but the point is there's a vast difference between your rebuttal to it and an ML mechanism built into your writing program that dissuades you from writing certain types of prose, or persuades you to use language that an opaque AI decided is less triggering.

We don't have to all be helpful, logical or anodyne all the time, either. Repressing what you want to say is unhealthy and also leads to dishonest debate. We don't need to be coddled and protected from some speech by algorithms. What we need to do is learn to
see the rhetorical flaws and rebut them - as you just have (although, as I said, those flaws were there on purpose, as a layer of meta-meaning in sarcastic word choice that would fly over the head of an algorithm).

If you wanted to use example from the current war, then sinking of Moskva would suit much better.

Separate the advice someone asks of you from the experiences you can share with someone. When you want to give someone awareness of something they haven't asked from you because you think it's worth exposing them to it or sharing it with them, approach it from the point of conveying your experiences to them, not to advise them, but just to mention something of interest that you though might be of interest to them. Then the person you are sharing your experience with can decide if he or she should make anything of it. When someone asks you for advice, then you can inquire further to learn what they are looking to solve so that you can help them with working their way through that specific problem.
> I don't think it's necessarily what I'd call narcissism. We look back on history and see people championing causes and things for real victims, e.g. the civil rights movement.

We're here talking about people on social media who are faking mental illness for attention or personal gain, that's the very definition of narcissism.

> xml is meant to be read by computers, not humans.

Online sources say it's meant to be both human and machine readable. It would be less bloated if it were just for machines. Seems like a generalization of HTML, which is meant to be hand-crafted in some cases.

Even if it were for machines only, it'd still need a human-friendly way to manipulate and debug with, and there isn't one. Protocol buffers have the text version for humans and the serialized binary for machines, plus the generated getters/setters for code. XML is a pain to deal with no matter how you abstract it.

JSON with namespaces would just mean another key-value pair in the dict or something. But I'm not sure why that's needed anyway.

After one year, I-bonds are pretty similar to savings accounts and they are indexed to inflation. Your money won't grow, but it won't shrink either -- and as Treasury bonds they are the lowest-risk investment that exists. If you buy some today, they will pay 7.12% for the next 6 months. After that they will probably be adjusted to pay even more, based on the current inflation rate.

There are two major catches: you have to wait at least 1 year before you cash them out, and a person can only buy 10k in I-bonds per year.

After the first year is over, selling I-bonds and getting access to the cash takes a few business days.

I've been tiering my emergency savings based on how many redeemable I-bonds I have. I have enough money in the bank to cover emergencies I might need to pay for very quickly -- things like plumbing problems, car repair, etc. The rest of my emergency fund is going into I-bonds. If I have a longer-term need for savings, like losing my job, I don't need all of my savings right away and I can wait for the amount of time it takes to cash out I-bonds.

You need to go deeper. What you are describing is not really what the BIV scenario is about.

Modelling the BIV directly after the brains we know only serves as a justification in the thought-experiment that a BIV might reasonably exist.

But actually the BIV does not need to be of similar character or composition than the simulated brains that a BIV can observe in its observable simulated world. Even if a simulated lobotomy would be performed under simulated general anesthesia, there is no reason to assume that the BIV itself would be completely inert during that time, the consciousness might well be a compartment of the BIV with other compartments tracking e.g. changes in the simulated body.

This is not yet a full-simulation argument as the individuum itself is not yet part of the simulated universe, the simulation is still an external stimulus to the BIV system.

The important takeaway here is that in a fully simulated universe, the concept of an objective "reality" is still intact, and generalized to nested realities. With a BIV, the perceived reality is always required to be entirely subjective. If the stimulus machine of a BIV is turned off, the individuum is still intact (and probably still wondering what the hell happened as it's suddenly floating in unperceivable nothingness), if a full-simulation is turned off, all observers (except those in the "higher" reality) cease to exist immediately.

Based on the overwhelming Apple bias of comments here I did not expect to see that Android was 70% of the market and iPhone was 27% of the market, with iOS also declining ~3% recently.

I personally love my Android device and using my iPad is kind of torture. It feels like being transported back in time to 2014. The springboard hasn't changed in a decade and wasn't great when it was introduced (auto-arrange icons to the top left, as far from your fingers as possible, with no ability to lock icons and build muscle memory? What is this 2014?)

You open the App Store and things like "Temple Run" and other bangers from the 2012 era are prominently displayed. It's like nothing changes.

I do like iPhone for my parents, it's very easy for me to offer tech support over the phone.

I think ultimately it's nice not to be a slave to the status symbol culture. Most people I know with the expensive phones... it's only about status.
It reminds me the warning on the back of my child schoolbooks: "Danger, le photocopillage tue le livre" ("Warning! copying kill the book" but with a pun between "photocopy" and "pillage"). It had a logo with a book hit by a flash. I was scared when a teacher put a book in the copier because I thought it would burn the book or something like this.
Yes, Apple should have built in emulators for 68K, PPC, 32 bit x86 and 64 bit x86 applications.
>There's no "picture" of all the ways that various things in a codebase will interact, design decisions, etc.

There 100% is a picture of it. Code itself is a 2D picture of logic. The picture for code is arranged in a specific way with huge limitations that don't take full advantage of 2D space.

3D space is infinite and if logical decisions can map onto 2D space (which is essentially what code is) it can also map onto 3D space.

The "language" of this mapping from logical decisions to some sort of spatial diagram can become more and more complex. Instead of linear lines of symbols (which again is what code is) it can be become a graph, or a literal pipeline of logic in 3D space. Analog computers are essentially 3D "pictures" of "code."

Additionally how the logic is represented in your brain must take up space. Logic itself is not so abstract that it takes up zero space. How ever it is stored in your brain there IS a 3D structure or "picture" of that logic that exists. If you are aware of some logical step of operations then it FOR SURE exists as a picture in your brain. I'm not saying it's a picture you can visualize... But the locations of where and how that information is connected in your brain forms a 3D structure. The essence of all logic starts as geometry in 3D space; taking away that space is the abstraction.

Code doesn't have to be visualized. Many times I don't visualize it at all. I remember it, like you... via relationships. But I have the Option of visualizing it as a picture.

If you have aphantasia it just means your brain lacks the ability to assign spatial coordinates to concepts. So you are aware of "relationships" but you can't arrange those concepts into a 3D grid and see how they are all interconnected. It's more of a disability the a brain type IMO, because people who don't have aphantasia can certainly see relationships without having the need to "picture" it.

If it does lend you advantages, I would say it's similar to how certain blind people can use echo location to navigate the world. It may lend you advantages that arise out of necessity to utilizes other tools to make up for a disability, but oftentimes it may not.

I did the (Python) Bug Squash at Stripe a couple of months ago, and was really happy with the interview style.

I consider myself a good debugger, but the interview context helped me see some places I could improve my process. I was comfortable in the pdb debugging system, but could improve my ability to steadily narrow down the key buggy line of code in a short amount of time.
This sounds very nice, but just to make sure I understand your meaning: If you have a properly designed "systems" programming language(even if manually managed) you would release resources exactly(or nearly so) at the time when a proper ARC/RAII implementation would. Is that correct for your meaning? If so I fully agree.
So you want the government to come in and force software platforms to maintain backwards compatibility forever?
I mean, you could definitely build a bespoke organ for the proposal above: You wouldn't need a manual (keyboard), or any sort of other bits and bobs required for performance (stops, pistons, couplers, pedals). Mini wind chambers per pipe, probably with an interconnected tubing so you could set up this big ring of pipes for people to walk around and observe. As for pipes, it'd just be one rank of pipes—not scores of them like with typical organs—and probably just one blower and bellows.

And, given the nature of the performance, some sort of self-powering renewable energy source and battery backup.

I find this whole conversation frustrating or somewhat confusing because it's a weird distinction: Reference counting is garbage collecting. It's not a mark & sweep or generational tracing collector, but it's a collector. And in fact it even traces, though the tracing is explicit (in the form of the declaration or management of references.)

My copy of the Jones/Lins Garbage Collection book I'm looking at on my shelf makes this quite explicit, the chapter on reference counting makes it clear it's one form of garbage collection.

When I was messing with this stuff 20 years ago, that was my understanding of it, anyways.

There are advantages and disadvantages to reference counting. I think some of the confusion in terminology and some of the frustrations (or opposite) here comes from the rather awkward way that Objective-C implements reference counting as something you have to be explicitly aware of and careful about, even with ARC. My brief stint doing iOS dev made this clear to me.

But I've used (and written) programming languages that had transparent automatic garbage collection via reference counting, and the programmer need not be aware of it at all, esp if you have cycle detection & collection (or alternatively, no cycles at all). And, there are compelling RC implementation that are capable of collecting cycles just fine (albeit through a limited local trace.)

Anyways, he's right that RC can be better for things like database handles etc. Back in the day I/we used reference counting for persistent MUDs/MOOs, where the reference counts were tracked to disk and back, 'twas nice and slick.

Yes - but now rephrase all of that outside the scope of the Justice System because while it's relevant, it's actually secondary.

Victim signalling is likely something that runs really, really deep in human psyche.

There are these really cute cats on TikTok that pretend to 'limp' without use of one of their paws to get attention, ostensibly playing on this kind of emotive empathy at a mammelian level.

As babies, we cry for every reason, because it's the only way we have to communicate.

So it's starts right there: victim status and victim signalling as entirely different class of social activity, with differing effects.

I guess if you have a good life, it's easy to lack empathy, and if you're reminded of your actual oppression quite often, then it's easy to not only empathize, but to see oppression under every rock, that it's a universal and material condition of one's existence, i.e. to become identified with it etc..

But this: "crybullies" - that's a very good term. We need to use that.
