> From what I can tell up to and including Windows XP the painting was done in software, i.e. the CPU was processing all the pixels of the window. I also believe that the frame and the client area were painted into the same pixel buffer that would eventually be copied to the main screen buffer.

On non-compositing windowing systems each window is designated a region of the front buffer to draw directly to it. Drawing outside that region was unrestricted and easy.

The rounded corners in Windows XP weren't hard-coded anywhere, they were just transparent parts of the bitmaps used in the theme engine. Even though they were transparent, they behaved like the opaque parts of the window border.
It's possible in Rust too, but only for a subset of element types: those that support shared mutation (also known as "internal mutation"). For example, a type containing an `AtomicU32` or a `Mutex<T>` or a `Cell<T>` could have an `Ord::cmp` implementation that alters its value, and the compiler will not prevent this.
I don't understand why you would need Timsort. If the pivot element is chosen randomly, Quicksort is always (or with probability bordering on certainty) O(n log n).

Update: I confused Timsort with IntroSort. I should have googled before posting ...
My origin doesn't have much to do with the difficulties I endured (except that the region I lived in is much less developed than the rest of the country). Fortunately, it's not the 90s anymore. Everything that made it hard for me to live, can be said for any average Turkish citizen as well. Well, unless you are very rich.
Very early in bitcoin I had the opportunity to mine, but I didn't do it, because while I felt it would make money, it would be a net-negative for the world (IE, I'd get richer but the world on a whole would be poorer).

Some VCs don't invest in things they think are net-negative even if there would be a big profit.
Where is the divide? Crypto is 99% full of hucksters, and the remaining 1% are the sorry saps.

The intelligent people I know want nothing to do with it.

Folks I've met IRL who are into it usually aren't all that bright. The traits they do have are affinity for risk taking, and being somewhat technical but not too much so, just enough to be dangerous. They certainly won't be opening any PRs to fix Ethereum bugs. In other words, they are perfectly ripened marks for the hucksters.

Religion has something to do with this because, quoting the article:

> I am not punished by this.

Imagine a fair and equitable spending program that distributed $100k to everyone. It's fair, and people with debt could use it to pay off their loans (you could even require it to be used to pay off student loans first). If your goal is to help people with loans pay off their debts, it is an effective program. It's also obviously fair.

Then, tax 100% of the distribution for people without student loan balances. This is the step that imposes a punitive expense, relative to a fair program, on people without student loans.

That's what these proposals look like. There's no particular reason recent college students as a group should be the sole recipients of a wealth transfer.
This is also available in the US, I enabled this on my kid's dedicated iPad linked to a family/child Apple account. There's no real downside, and it is entirely optional.

I suspect some replies are confusing this with iCloud photo scanning (for e.g. CP), whereas this is a different feature entirely, they just happen to have been announced at the same time which caused a lot of people to treat them as a monolith.

See:
https://www.apple.com/child-safety/

The biggest problem with Apple's family features right now is that it literally costs more to use. If you share a parent account with a child (or multiple), all IAPs are also shared, whereas if you create a child Apple account app purchases are correctly shared (and some Apple subscriptions) but IAPs are not, resulting in re-buys for every connected device.

There is, in theory, some IAPs that share through family sharing, but they're very rare and there's no way to determine which are what before you buy.

> The interesting thing about crypto to me is how there seems to be a deep divide among very smart people, some who think it's the greatest thing ever and some who think it's a fraud.

Most people, even web3 proponents, seem to agree that the current crop of web3 companies is largely scammy or without real value propositions beyond speculation. It's actually hard to argue otherwise when you look at what's out there.

You also have to look very closely at financial interests. There are a lot of "smart people" who invested heavily in web3 tokens and have a vested interest in hyping them to the moon.
> On the Linux side of the house, virt-manager is pretty great, though it leans much harder into KVM, so you don't necessarily get all the exotic architecture support of QEMU built in.

That's kind of funny because I end up accidentally creating non-KVM machines with virt-manager all the time...

Yes, I agree with that. However, if f(n)=Theta(n) => f(n)=O(n), so they are usually not wrong, technically, just unnecessarily broad.
I wouldn't consider C++ Builder as C++. Have not used it in ages, but last time I used it, it was not C++. Anyway, that's is not exactly what I was talking about. I think even the tools you listed lacked years behind useful features that eclipse and netbeans implemented for java like refactoring.

I'm glad there are good front-ends to the llvm language server though and that static analyzers are slowly improving and becoming more popular even to the sporadic hobbyist.
The original definition of Web 3.0 (or Semantic Web) was conceived by Tim Berners-Lee and meant something completely different, it referred to a web that had all information assembled into an open graph that was easily accessible and machine readable with the goal of leading to an AI revolution. AFAICT the "web3" moniker was co-opted by Ethereum developers to refer to something which is almost entirely opposed to that, it's about locking everything up on the internet behind paywalls. But somehow this is supposed to be revolutionary because technically anyone can set up a paywall, as if they somehow couldn't do that before, as if web businesses haven't been a thing since the early 90s.
Maybe we met different Kurds. I met a lot in Iraq and Syria and most of the ones I met balked at even having to speak Turkish (even if they could speak fluently), let alone be part of the country. I imagine some of the ones I met were blown apart by Turkish forces some time after I left Rojava.
Mac hardware just works.

PCs are usually cheaper and can pull better benchmark numbers, but most Windows laptops have weird little issues and quirks that add up. I find myself a lot more productive on a Mac than a Windows laptop, which more than makes up for any price difference. I can add hacks to make Windows work, but even those aren't as intuitive as Mac productivity software.

Building a modern home requires more than 1-person-year of resources and effort, so a 1 year mortgage term wouldn't make any sense. You can't make something out of nothing, so obviously, there would be a pricing problem in that situation.
> Philosophically, Smalltalk's objects have much in common with the monads of Leibniz and the notions of 20th century physics and biology

Love this line as this was definitely my impression of monads when venturing into Haskell-land...

The whole history of Smalltalk is interesting and it's an interesting way to reason about data and behaviour. And even if Smalltalk is obscure, C++, Java, Ruby, Python and others aren't, and OOP remains a great way to model many domains.
If I understand the article correctly, the energy expenditure by the fish itself is zero. From TFA:

The original tweet was asking for "any future of python in web3 domain?
specific in @ethereum @solana"

Web3.js - the 7 year old library for communicating with any EVM has an actively maintained and fully featured python version.

Solana.py is available for the Solana ecosystem

These libraries typically make it very easy to connect to the nearest node, which you can treat as pay-once-read-forever compute instances. Where reading and and all bandwidth is free.

You can completely ignore the cringy ideology if you prefer to and just accept that people are willing to store your crap for free forever.

You can build lucrative businesses around the observation that long winded web 2.0 funnels have been shorted down to a single call to action that in itself is a payment, while again completely ignoring the ethos and ideology of the users and enthusiasts.

This kind of question doesn't need input or gracing from a web 1.0 developer that people respect. when people say decentralization they mean "no opinion of any individual or entity matters" (of course many conflate permissionless with decentralization, but the degree of permissionlessness is derived from the degree of decentralization.) Individuals are free to respect or assign more weight to the opinion of someone they like, when that opinion matches what they want to hear, its just not necessary for an outcome.
>my parents were more risk tolerant, risk ignorant, or the world has become more dangerous

almost certainly not the latter given that a significant drop in crime since the 80s and 90s is an almost global phenomenon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_drop). Drunk driving fatalities are down 90% since the 80s despite miles travelled having doubled etc. I mean just remember the culture a few decades ago, people did not give a fuck about anything.

People really have become comically anxious even though many places are considerably safer and cleaner. Maybe because of it.

Anna Sorokin's pitch deck was better.
Linguists refer to these traits you're describing by classifying languages as being more or less "synthetic" or "analytic."[1] Broadly speaking, synthetic languages tend to encode information by modifying words (e.g. the articles "der" vs "dem" in German); analytic languages tend to encode information via adding words and word order (e.g. "the" versus "to the" in English.)

Real languages exist somewhere on a spectrum. Languages in the Indo-European family show an empirical historical tendency to become less synthetic and more analytic over time and via contact with other languages. German is more synthetic than English, but less synthetic than Russian, and much less synthetic than very old IE languages such as Vedic Sanskrit. English is more analytic than German, but less analytic and more synthetic than Afrikaans. Some non-IE languages such as Finnish are extremely synthetic.

Yeah I am kind of in this boat as well - Windows is held back by some legacy stuff but has also gotten better and better. It also has a bunch more spyware crap (but if you know what to do thankfully you can disable most of that). It used to be back in the day you had to choose between a smooth OSX experience or a bloated adware filled windows XP.

Linux has also gotten dramatically easier as well of course and is free. I still like MacOS generally but I always thought it was a mistake to completely ignore server-adjacent stuff that powerusers would want. If I buy a Mac and own MacOS why can't I also run a MacOS VM on that same machine? Would be pretty cool to have 3 or 4 running simultaneously with these new processors.
Let us replace the abundance of the near infinite with the eternal dedication of resources to the enforcement of artificial scarcity that some copies might be more real and unique than others. For such is the power of crypto eternal. Amine.
> Bad roads? Well, Congress and the states won't raise the fuel tax.

We overbuilt infrastructure based on Government accounting practices that don't adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP or US GAAP). Representatives get elected based on promises of new roads and highways, not on successful stewardship of what we have. People realize this misaligned incentive, that isn't propaganda.

> Bad education? Congress lets loans go to shite diploma mills

For profit schools account for 10% of students[1] and 15% of loans[2]. They're a problem in several ways but not the root cause.

> Just look at how underfunded (intentionally) the IRS is. How audits are primarily focused on the bottom 50% of earners, while the top 50% skate.

I agree that the IRS wrongly targets working class people, but the rest of this is wrong. The tax to GDP ratio in the US has been constant for decades, and we have the most progressive tax code in the OECD[3]. The US obtains more of its revenue from income taxes than any other OECD nation by a factor of 2 in percentage terms. We have no VAT which is regressive, and almost every other OECD nation has one.

Americans distrust government for a lot of historical reasons. We are the 2nd largest democracy that was a former European colony, and our founders fought a revolution against a remote and disconnected government. Most large waves or immigrants to the US were fleeing some sort of government oppression. We also should remember that some 14% of the population was officially discriminated against by the government in living memory. The war on drugs also give people plenty of reasons to be suspicious about the government. We're an individualistic society that is multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural and people practice a range of religions it should come as no surprise that people are wary of Washington.

I've seen this argument often on the topic of JWTs, which are also mentioned in the tweets here. In many situations there are simpler methods than JWTs that don't require any cryptography, e.g. simply storing session ids server-side. With these simple methods there isn't anything cryptographic that could break or be misused.

The TLS encryption is of course assumed here, but that is nothing most developers ever really touch in a way that could break it. And arguably this part falls under the "you absolutely need it" exception.

Revenue focus is not customer focus. You don't get a second chance at a first impression. The difference between a great company and a mediocre one is how much they care.

Such a great resource. It's surprisingly easy to build your own massive datasets using it. I re-derived WebText2, used for training GPT-3, just on a home machine. And with some image scraping you can build up image datasets for training interesting GAN models.

> the training process they used are not.

Seems like it'd be fairly straightforward to finetune an existing language model . GPT-3 if you've got spare change, GPT-J-6B can be finetuned in Colab for free, and GPT-NeoX-20B could be finetuned for free/cheap. Use simple concats of AITA posts followed by a top comment. Balance for NTA/YTA like the Training Data page mentions, and I'll bet you'll get comparable results.

That said, the _idea_ of this bot is really cool and fun.

"Flat" VR chat is perfectly fine for plenty of users, including large streamers and content creators. You get slightly more awkward manipulation but truth be told, VR chat doesn't use the VR for anything more than immersion.

VR blends perfectly fine with non-VR actually, and there are many games that let you play as VR in a non-VR lobby. Check out Paranormal Activity on steam. The game was designed as a normal mouse and keyboard video game, with awkward controls and a strong horror focus, but they added a VR option so if you want, you can feel fully immersed while being chased by evil ghosts and you can pee your pants in fear while your friends stuck with a normal screen are only moderately afraid.

For the two games in question, the non-VR client lets you play homemade games and chat with your friends or strangers who have VR or also happen to play the non-VR version of either. It's literally just a different control method, like using TrackIR in a racing sim.

I think this is the biggest issue. I can't complain because I haven't helped fix it, but the command line flag explosion, coupled with the qemu -readconfig/-writeconfig sucking is a big reason people just check out mentally and write big XML descriptions of their VMs.
