That isn't language evolving, that's you being arbitrarily 'punished' for no better reason than to reinforce the false idea that the other person is better than you. The right response is to refuse because that treadmill is endless and its potential speed is unlimited.
Not OP, but Netfix UI is uniquely bad. It looks good ... and make it impossible to find shows you might like and be at mood for ... despite them actually being there.
Greenlist and redlist would fail in a global company. Plenty of cultures use red as a color that promotes positivity rather than a negative color. Japan has blue rather than green for their "Go" color. And so on.
Part of it is Windows being Windows, but part of it is languages/runtimes treating Windows as a second-class platform, which is understandable but a predictable source of problems.

See e.g. Python, which runs just fine everywhere.
Humans generate general 3d representation of the world. You don't know what this object is, yet you see it's borders. Tesla seems to generate understanding only of the objects that it has already seen.
Have you seen the people objecting to the term "Master Recording" and such.
> To make or distribute obscene materials

That's one of the stupidest ones IMHO. Free speech absolutists harping about how great the US is in that regard forget to mention that speech is okay when it's money, insulting people for their skin colour and a bunch of other edge cases most other developed countries disagree with, but heavens forbid boobs!
Ok, and how does it work for pregnant women or women planning on starting a family?
Even better in Spanish, because you also get "gato" in there.
I wish I was a millionaire. I could fulfil my wish of owning replica of IPK that is small cylinder of Platinum-Iridium weighting very very close to kilogram.
humans are mobile, with moving necks/torso/eyes/etc.

I don't think anyone would argue that cameras couldn't do the same job if capable of realizing depth and re-assessing from different angles when confronted with ambiguity... but show me what a system like that would look like.

A human that is parking somewhere ambiguously often gets out of their car to inspect the area with their binocular vision from multiple angles; this is common among trailer owners.

The vision system on a vehicle is tasked with a harder problem in many ways -- it's trying to solve the ambiguity of the scene purely visually with mostly-stationary cameras and prior knowledge.
Yes, WAP is only controversial because it involves women rapping about sex the way men always have, but it isn't unique.
>[1] Notably, the char type, since the PDP-11 was byte addressable but the PDP-7 was not.

"char" is a useful type for the program's problem domain regardless of whether the machine is byte-addressed or not. Pascal was developed on machines that were not byte-addressable but always had a char type. This is easily visible in the PACK and UNPACK standard functions and the PACKED keyword for arrays and records. It is slow to do access to a random char from an array packed several to a word, so there are standard functions to copy everything from a packed array to an array that uses one word per item for easier processing, and back again.

If anything, you need the compiler to support the char type more if you don't have a byte-addressed machine because it's such a pain for the programmer to deal with themselves.

Standard Algol 60 didn't have "char" but some manufacturers added it non-standard. Algol 68 had char. These ran on primarily word-addressed machines too, as was the fashion in those days.
I'm in college. I see a lot of people doubting snap's popularity in this thread.

Literally everyone has snapchat and most people use it on a daily basis. I do think they provide the overall best group chat experience out of any app, you can just send text if you want, but also save funny pictures or video that people send. And only the good stuff gets saved, so you're usually not dealing with a bunch of clutter and random irrelevant content in the chat's history. The private stories are cool too, but I personally don't use them.
Should be able to tell from the suspension. If front extends before back, rocking the chassis backwards at all, then you hit something above the axle line.
One company this worked out really well for was Sphero. Their robot toy had been on the market a couple years, and they joined the accelerator right before the new Star Wars movie came out with the BB-8, which was a match made in heaven. So if your product could benefit from licensing deals, then the Disney accelerator could be helpful for making those connections.
This is about censoring the word mother clearly. It is nonsense.

Streaming services would match what I want if the content I want was on all services and the services competed on service quality.

Instead I want to watch “The Expanse” and I dont know if it’s a Netflix special or HBO or Hulu or Amazon or what. I logged into three of them and it wasn’t there.

Oh look, it’s on the Pirate Bay. Also, it’s not throttled / forcibly downgraded to 720p or whatever.
That mouse was an indelible part of the feeling of "this is new and fun" that Steve and Jonny were trying to create with the original iMac.

Of course they could have used a different shape from a hockey puck. The most important thing was that the mouse be new and fun-looking, to match the novel case design.

The iMac's design was important because it declared that Apple was on a new trajectory (no more boring beige boxes), and thus promised more new and wonderful things were on the way.
Not sure if these are the things you’re thinking of, but I know Grammarly and Hemingway are apps/services with similar functions.
This isn't about my personal feelings, it's about the insistence that the demographics are not a reflection of the distribution of competence and personal choice, but discrimination. The entire foundation of discrimination against white males is dishonest because proponents refuse to allow for any explanation for overrepresentation beyond unfair hiring practices - which are being used to implement the systemic discrimination that they claim to be fighting.

>You’re building a corporate SAP system, not proving some theorem or unifying the fundamental forces or something.

And regardless of what you're building, you want the most competent employees that you can get for the lowest price if you are operating within a meritocracy. In that case your demographics will be strongly influenced by the distribution of competence, before even considering that the pipeline is skewed because women are simply not choosing to pursue software development - and that's not a problem that needs correcting unless you're playing tribalist team sports.

The anti-tribalists are using mere accusations of tribalism to justify their own vicious, exclusionary tribalism, and simply not allowing for discussion of alternative explanations which could appear to be motivated by tribalism. That's what keeps me up at night.
Many people seem to believe the medical profession is nearly perfect. This belief is not new, for thousands of years medical professionals have refused to countenance criticism. I personally believe much of our medical science we have today is faulty and our theories can be greatly improved. I would like to see many more challenges to the status quo and new treatments made available. Many of these will be scams or even harmful, but some of them will revolutionize medical care in a positive way.

Drop medical regulations, and open up medical innovation.
This is why simple balances are such a brilliant idea despite their simplicity. You don't need to calibrate to the local conditions, if I have a 250g mass on one side, and I put something on the other side and it balances, that's 250 grams, done. Only the (often provided with the balance) prototype masses need to be calibrated and that can be done by experts far from your local environment.

Until as recently as 2019 this approach - using a prototype - was the only extant mass definition, the prototype kilogram lived at a specialised laboratory and its clones were used around the world to define mass (yes including the pound if you're an American).

[ Today instead the Planck constant is defined to be exactly 6.62607015×10^−34 kg x m^2 per second and it's possible to build devices such as a Kibble balance to estimate what the kilogram is from knowing this definition, the better your Kibble balance the better the estimate ]
Does this work well yet for high speed and/or high current circuits, following good layout for ground bounce, etc?

Did yours require labelling traces as low, med, and high frequency?
Only in the US, in Europa that wouldn't pass consumer protection laws.
Sure, so why the beta label? What is it with the functionality that makes them put in this disclaimer? Could it be that it is actually not prepared to handle loss of network connection or loss of battery in the phone? Is the phone running on a real time OS as other life critical systems usually are? What are the fail safe modes and redundanices preventing the functionality from hurting someone? With a beta label, they are basically saying that it is not ready, and the driver is at fault for using it.
That article is making Raveneau out to be some exec, but really she's not an executive producer like they claim, and is basically just a director of four episodes of a direct to streaming series that hasn't even finished it's first season yet.

A series that Disney also goes out of it's way not to play in markets that aren't already LGBT friendly.
If anyone else is wondering what is a "DRC problem":

Design Rule Checking (DRC) is a process used to identify errors and mismatches such as spacing & trace widths in a PCB design/layout.
I didn't mean to abandon two scroll axes. Only make the vertical scrolling the primary method people use to scroll though videos. Or do people prefer to scroll through categories?
Those shows tended to be episodic with only weak overall story in. You had ending for each story. The writing is much different now (and better then used to be, but abrupt end is annoying people more).
Shapr3d is awesome, but it has an even more ridiculously overpriced subscription for enthusiasts. Sketchup at least has the benefit of a large community, asset marketplace, and a lot of people using their file format outside of CAD trades.
This comes off as an angry tirade full of projection and lacking any real insight.
How was I punished? What tribunal did I face?

And how does the other person think they’re better than me? You’re inventing all of this context about a simple conversation that just doesn’t exist.
Haha, that's fair. I still think spending more than an hour or two on the news per week has rapidly diminishing returns, in terms of societal benefit, and most of that should be local news or very focused, deep coverage, for maximum benefit.

> A better recent example might have been choosing between McCain and Obama, if you're focused on presidential races.

I'd love to see some blank-slate person try to judge them just by their own websites. God, those were so different.
> people will probably start using it at some point.

I am not disagreeing with you, and sure, your future prediction is not out of the realm of possibilities. I am just saying that I am yet to see it happen as of today. And I don't really care to be outraged about something that isn't a thing yet.

It isn't global warming or some other thing that is difficult to reverse or has some life/death stakes. Language has been perpetually changing, and still is. Really fast, and really wildly. So making a trouble out of "this one word might become used in future in real life at some point, so you should worry about it now" is not something I am really into wasting energy on.
>Incidents of drug overdoses and poisonings rose 83.6% between 2019 and 2020, and now are the third leading cause of death in that age group

Wait?! What?!

This should be the headline. A 1.8x increase in the runner up is f-ing huge. Gun deaths edging out car crashes this year when they're normally neck and neck is irrelevant by comparison.
The most impressive note in the article is that they only had a power loss of five percent.
What? Telling a lie and calling names is not worthy of arrest in India? If so it's even more newsworthy :)
Humans don't just use vision when driving a car. Our eyes also aren't fixed in our heads. They can gimbal independently of our heads. Our torsos also give our heads more degrees of freedom than just our necks. Human senses are actually fairly good.

The main issue with vision-only FSD is that visual artifacts don't convey high degrees of certainty about the solid nature of things.

If the AI doesn't recognize an object as being an object it can't add it to the list of things to worry about. If it's augmented with LIDAR and radar it doesn't need to recognize an airplane to know there's a solid object in its path.

It's dumb edge cases that cause problems. Vision-only FSD leaves a lot of edge cases on the table with the hope that AI magic will save the day.
You were being "corrected" by someone else, weren't you? They knew the "right" language and you didn't. What do you think would have happened if you'd disagreed with this particular correction?
You mean, like with the butterfly keyboard?

Or the glued-shut, unrepairable gadgets?

Or "Maybe you're holding it wrong"? Or firing the antenna guy after?

Or trying to eliminate cursor arrow keys so users would have to always use the mouse?

The mouse charge port that makes it unusable while charging is far from an isolated example. Apple changing something to actually benefit the customer at the expense of Apple is almost unheard of.
No, you're right; just because you can test something at once doesn't mean you shouldn't automate repeated tests.

The thing is, though, not all tests are worth automating.

I generally start work by sketching out a strawman representation of what I think I'm doing, then interrogating it interactively to find out how reality differs from my naive understanding. As my understanding improves, I refine the representation incrementally and interactively, and refine the interrogations right along with it.

You can think of those interrogations as embryonic APIs and interactive unit tests, but most are not worth formalizing. They're ephemeral. The details they're interrogating are likely to change beyond recognition in a short time until discovery reveals the real shape of things.

Once the real shape starts to emerge from the lump of clay, the representation turns into actual data structures and the interrogations turn into actual APIs and formal tests.

I probably spend more time testing than in any other single activity while working in Lisp. I test pretty much every single expression interactively as soon as it's written, because it's so quick and effortless to do so.

But most of those tests are not worth formalizing. Many of them will be executed one time and then never again. Others will be useful long enough to earn a temporary home in a source file for a while.

The formalized unit and integration tests are the ones that have survived iteration, that are connected to structures and APIs that have survived and developed into something real.

And that's the process, pretty much: rough sketch; interactive experimentation to discover what it really ought to be; formalization of discovered features (including tests that are worth automating).

"Hold the botton down" IS the default for both summon and smart summon.

There is also (and has always been) a shit ton of warnings you have to ignore to use the feature. [1]

Here's a particularly applicable warning from the manual.

> Smart Summon may not stop for all objects (especially very low objects such as some curbs, or very high objects such as a shelf) and may not react to all traffic. Smart Summon does not recognize the direction of traffic, does not navigate around empty parking spaces, and may not anticipate crossing traffic.

I know a lot of people like to dig at tesla, but they really aggressively warn drivers when it comes to using the driver automation.

Disagree. We wait till itnis released all so we don't have stupidly long delay between episodes ... and it means dodging spoilers and debates.

Once a week episode is good for episodic content, nit for something with good writing.
> since the driver wasnt in the car.

That's shocking. What does that have to do with liability? Hypothentically if my car's brakes failed while my car was parked, my insurance should cover any damages.
I agree that extreme extroverts need help overcoming their constant need for interaction.

My broader point is that there is normal, balanced; and there is abnormal, unbalanced, in all things. It's up to each of us to feel how we feel about what is normal, and it's culture that shapes it.

I have ADHD. I am certainly depressed, but I am not diagnosed. I don't know if "bipolar" fits, but I can be extremely outgoing and center of attention one day, and extremely emotionally drained another. I'm also skinny-fat from stopping working out while continuing to drink. I have many friends, some incredibly close and genuine, but still feel lonely.

All of these things are abnormal. They are flaws. They don't make me evil or wrong, but they are things I don't claim are normal or fundamentally healthy.

I'm reacting to the sentiment I see online, mainly reddit and sometimes here, that thinks disliking people and/or wishing not to interact with others and/or being unable to cope with minor interpersonal annoyances at work is normal. It isn't.
I ordered a couple 70 pound blocks of tungsten. They were each double boxed and still somehow managed to slip through the first box. Might have been both amusing and annoying to handle those boxes.
This is a complicated topic that resurfaces from time to time in the psychiatric literature. These types of arguments tend to take the presentation of people meeting criteria for DID at face value, and then argue that it doesn't exist, which is sort of beside the point.

No one (or few in the field) really believe that people meeting criteria for DID have independent identities in the sense of having different psychological entities in the same body, with different memory systems, personalities, and so forth. It's a strawman argument.

Even DID researchers point this out, but it tends to get ignored by individuals writing pieces like this.

The truth is, there are patients who present with symptoms of DID, as is the case with other dissociative and related disorders. They are almost certainly "fake" at some level, but the phenomenon of presenting with neurophysically implausible symptoms nonetheless exists, and has its own set of issues. It's sort of akin to psychopathy and lying: a psychopath might lie, but you don't say that predatory dishonesty isn't a problem because what they say isn't true. In the same way, someone presenting with dissociative symptoms is doing the thing they're doing, and it deserves some sort of distinct label.

Contrary to what the poster has written, longitudinal and chart review studies do show that people with DID have sexual abuse histories at higher rates than other types of patients, like close to 80% of cases. And contrary to stereotype, the typical DID patient is rather shy and avoidant of attention.

I guess it's odd to me in some ways because while it was important to try to determine whether or not people presenting with alternate identities really have "neurocognitively separate selves", finding that they don't doesn't mean you should write off the idea that there is something qualitatively different about the sets of problems involved when someone does do this sort of thing. You could relabel it , which might be fine, but this area is already full of controversy (should we open the can of worms of somatic symptom disorder, for example?).
Just curious is there an algorithm based "rational style" novel based on people using algorithms? I'd be interested in an entertaining read like that.
Unfortunately as a SEGA Saturn collector, this is no surprise, and disc rot has taken claim to games that could otherwise be worth hundreds of dollars today. :(

Weirdly, almost all of even my much older audio CD’s - stored in the same bin away from heat and moisture - don’t have this issue.

I have to wonder what effect the specifics of the manufacturing process have on how likely a disc is to experience disc rot, as actually even within the SEGA community it’s widely accepted that Saturn discs have an unusually high rate of failure compared to other compact disc collectables.

However - importantly - my original point about quality also applies to backups of these mediums as well - so, assuming any copy of that audio CD has been properly archived and backed up, it will pretty much always be the best quality it can possibly be. Backing up a DVD these days - when there is a majority of the time a superior Blu-Ray or streaming release, is frankly pretty pointless, except for, unusually - the much more abundant amount of special features often found on DVD’s.

I never understood why special features pretty much went the way of the Dodo when Blu-Ray became the standard.
Is this the beginning of Drone-Piracy Age? Will people pay ransom for their drones and packages? Will England, Spain and Holland send their navies to rescue them?
Maybe not a full-blown communist revolution but I expect the rules surrounding residential investment properties to change. Whether that's rent control, eviction moratoriums, increased taxes, or whatever other concessions populists will make. There's considerable regulatory risk going forward.
Policing Language (and frequently changing it) is one of the levers of control that was outlined heavily by Orwell in 1984, with the concept of Doublespeak.

Now I know people are bored of parallels between reality and 1984, or Brave New World, or whatever other dystopia novels. They were written by authors not prophets after all.

Still, it's impossible for me not to think we're on our way when I read something like

"But do we want to live in a world where our language is constantly being rewritten-- at a non-zero cost-- by bullies"

When talking about a real world situation.

Personally I do not want to live in that world.
