I'd say the author is one of the most respected tech bloggers out there.

With pure HTML and possibly some cleanly included JS he could get any visual appearance he wants, such as the common hero video or the effects you see where scrolling manifests differently as you scroll through different parts of the document.
I love reading all the hate the author is getting here. It means he’s right.
An O(1) Generic Blog Post About Rust
> the cause was being a jerk to coworkers repeatedly (she repeatedly attacked internal researchers on internally public mailing lists in an unprofessional way).

No, the cause was her ultimatum email demanding the names of the reviewers among several other things (which she refers to as "simple conditions") or she quit, and then also emailing Googlers telling them to stop working. The first was the email her manager replied to saying they weren't going to meet her demand and her resignation was accepted immediately given her other email, rather than after a leisurely vacation and few months of wrapup like she wanted. (This is how Gebru apologists justify defining it as 'firing' rather than 'quitting', to make her look like more of a victim.)
... at which point we can also "undeprecate" RestTemplate and pretend that never happened either :-)
I don't think there are places where this farming makes more sense. Just because a place is green doesn't make it an ideal farmland.
This is the point, yes. You can turn most of it off, but then even regular software upgrades break before you even do any modifications. Running an outdated system is not viable in this day and age.

Part of the reasons for locking down is 'security' (though a lot of it is so easy to bypass through Apple's own backdoors that it seems to be more form than function). Which makes some sense from the user's point of view. Part of the reasons is DRM for Apple's services. Apple TV, Music, App store, iOS apps. I don't care about that but there is not much I can do about it on their hardware. Soon we'll have a new category Apple will want to lock down the system for: the CSAM detection. Of course Apple will be hell-bent on preventing people trying to tamper with that. It will come with its own host of protections, which I bet will even be active when SIP is off.

Right now there are already a bunch of folders which the root user can't even read. Try running a "find / 1>/dev/null" as root and you'll get a nice list of folders Apple considers too sensitive for the user even to look at.

The problem is not security. The problem is Apple enforces security without the user being able to override their choices. There is no way to make modifications to system files and "bless" them so it will still boot after the next update. You have to do it every time. There's no UI for such features at all. Apple forgets that I'm the owner and admin of my system and doesn't give me the keys to manage it.

It's fine for their new targeted audience which is mainstream users with a large disposable income. It's not great for power users with a unix background like myself. I lament that macOS has moved away from supporting my usecase because I did enjoy it for many years.

But now I'm happier with FreeBSD with KDE. I really enjoy being able to trace a problem right down to its cause again. I love all the customisation options again.
on my carbon x1 I had to use fwupdmgr to update the Prometheus fingerprint device firmware. Additionally the firmware that was "current" in the repo didn't work and I had to allow using the beta or experimental version. can't remember exactly the steps I took to enable the beta firmware, this was almost 2 years ago as well, so it could be that that version is the now the correct latest version in the repo. after that I just installed fprintd and followed those instructions. But for sure it didn't work for me until I updated the firmware. good luck.
> 2K is only a few more pixels than 1920 x 1080 ?

Given you said you use 1440p monitors yourself, I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere here, because 2K is just a less commonly used term for 1440p. And 1440p is definitely a bit more than just "a few more pixels" compared to 1080p (iirc around 78% more).
Right, but then you're also living without plentiful growth - without lots of pollination. That's part of what not having water is. That's the current plight of California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Florida has plenty of humidity, and when I lived there I got on just fine.

I live in rural TN today - same deal. It rains all the damn time, mosquitoes everywhere. We have a service come once a quarter that takes care of them. I don't have cancer as a result. I capture so much rain water and filter it down and use it for productive purposes, I live on 15 acres and pay $25 for my water.

I saw some other people make reference to subsidizing folks in rural areas, but that's simply not the case. We use our water and conserve it unlike any suburban areas do, we don't spare a drop. And we pay the same rates as everyone else in the state.
Your use of language is a cultural concept, too - let's not ignore how your dismissal here is about as valid as if you chose to not use words to express this concept. Having rights is a matter of personal agency, regardless of society's "collective" agency. It is a distinction between cultural and personal control over the individual.
You might consider either trying to stop using words altogether, or else maybe recognize that an individual's agency, their "rights", are indeed relevant to the conversation about culture.

I'm pretty sure if you say to your manager "I quit" and stop showing up to work, regardless of what internet forms you fill out, it's a resignation. The fact that Gebru gave her resignation in the form of an ultimatum rather than whatever website form you're talking about is a pedantic point.

"I resign if you don't do X."

"We're not doing X, we accept your resignation."

This is a resignation the way I understand it.
Yes! Didn’t think I would see it, lichess has made some incredible architectural decisions. And also really brilliant, consistent philosophy.
A major issue with loom is that it consume much more %CPU

Because they were responding to a person as if they had said it. You can't have a discussion where you just make up what the other person said and respond to that. And in fact you've done exactly the same. You've assigned a position to me that I haven't stated at all. It'd be like me ending this comment with: Why would you make such a inflammatory anti-muslim joke on Eid Al Fitr of all days?
IMO 2 and 4 are easily the best Uncharted games. I wouldn't recommend 1 or 3 at all, despite 3 having a plot that should have really appealed to me. The first one mostly suffers from unrefined mechanics making it a slog, but they fixed that in 2.

But, 2 and 4 are very different. 2 is a solid 3d action-platformer, while my favorite parts of 4 were when it basically just became a "walking simulator"-type game for long stretches, with most of the action and platforming just feeling tacked-on and superfluous.

> (I haven't played The Last of Us though. I hear it's incredible, but I can't deal with the subject matter.)

I should have loved it, but bounced off hard. The prologue had me, but a little while into the game proper I just wanted all the main characters to die, including the one you're really, really not supposed to want to die. They're all horrible and I didn't like or care about them a single bit, to the point that I wanted them to fail. The protagonist in particular, I had to root for him to fail because clearly this humanity-on-the-brink would be better off with one fewer self-interested mass-murders around making things even worse. That's... not a great way to motivate the player.
Show HN: I am building a free version of Strava
I recently added a Segments feature to the Hangtime mountain biking app for Android and IOS. If you are familiar with Strava’s segments, this new feature works much the same. For example, you can add a segment to an existing recorded ride by simply defining a start and end point for the segment. Once the segment is created, it will match any new rides, and optionally “back match” all previous rides. If a segment matches a ride, you you will see your time to complete that segment as well as your personal record (PR) and king of the mountain (KOM) for that segment. The KOM represents the best segment time amongst all riders that have matched that segment. You can also open the segment to see your complete history on that segment to gauge how your performance has changed over time. Some screenshots and videos as well as other features at the link below.

> Scientists are pretty used to the idea of having their papers rejected.

By journals, not by their employers. It's actually quite unusual for researchers in industry have their papers blocked by their employers, as many have testified after that affair.
You definitely need conditional branches. Without conditional branches you would be limited to fixed sequences of cube moves.

Fixed sequences of cube moves are reversible and they are deterministic.

It follows that for any given fixed sequence S there is exactly one starting configuration C such that applying S to C results in a solved cube.
HTML as an authoring language is underrated, but several commenters are confusing "writing HTML" with the aesthetic of nearly unstyled HTML. I think this is happening because the post we're discussing is not itself an example of what the author is describing: it's authored in DWikiText.

An example (that I maintain) of what the author describes: https://www.bidadance.org. Each of the pages is just plain HTML on disk.

That's exactly the target use case. Models make online predictions as part of Postgres queries, and can be periodically retrained in a cadence that makes sense for the particular data set. In my experience the real value of retraining at a fixed cadence is so that you can learn when your data set changes, and have fewer changes to work through when there is some data bug/anomaly introduced into the eco system. Models that aren't routinely retrained tend to die in a catastrophic manner when business logic changes, and their ingestion pipeline hasn't been updated since they were originally created.
Yikes, thanks for pointing that out! Read a few articles about this and multiple of them referred to the press conference announcing a new Deus Ex - disappointing that none of them verified for themselves and shame on me for not following the rabbit hole.

Fun read, thanks for linking to it!
For me, I read the introduction and how they discuss how impressive DALL-E 2 is, and then they show very simple mistakes it makes and I want to be protective of DALL-E 2. I want to say "you did a good job!"

That the paper provides "a clearer picture of what remains to be done" is very hard to accept, as all it does is show edge cases which are subjective at best. If anything the picture is less clear as they don't even try to form a hypothesis why DALL-E makes mistakes like these. One thing in particular I have noticed is that DALL-E has trouble producing action images. It may be because it has no sense of temporality and in those cases it could serve to run the parameters a bit longer using the same scene. But I am not an AI scientist so what do I know.
So much so that it felt like someone involved's... uh, particular interests were coming through in the game, in a way that was kinda off-putting.
> Or maybe this is the point of an analog system which I up until now failed to understand, to help retain/refresh notes far too often and retain information better, is that it?

Yes that's one of the benefits. Analog forces maintenance rehearsal in human memory. It also does this when you're in a state of associating an idea you have in your head with the most similar and related idea. This excercises the neuro-associative recall muscle in the mind and creates what Luhmann calls surprises and accidents which are very useful during the process of creating.

You end up reviewing notes using analog systems that you may not have otherwise reviewed. These events reignite reverberation of ideas that you can then carry with you for days (or at least during the process of writing and creating).
One reason C++ experience is so helpful with Rust is because the language was created by C++ programmers for C++ programmers, so most books and even documentation are written from that perspective.

There is a book, "The Body Electric", by Robert Becker, about his investigations of electromagnetic effects on, mostly, salamanders.

During the time he worked, and for long after, such investigation was effectively forbidden in the US, on threat of losing grants and invitation to present at conferences. Becker had a free pass based on a relationship with the US Veterans Administration, which hoped he would be able to find a way to regenerate severed limbs, a topic of some interest.

The mode of action he found was orchestration of development and growth by way of sub-nanosecond electric currents. He was able to control healing and regeneration -- turn it off and on -- by applying these small currents in different directions.

AC fields, from 60Hz up into microwaves, can be persuaded to induce such currents by modulation. So, with no or with one modulation, exposure may have no effect, but with another you get a pronounced effect. You cannot generalize from one exposure to another, one modulation to another. The effect observed in this study might easily not be replicated in another, according to some apparently trivial variation in their setup.

Gabe Brown manages about 5000 acres, with a skeleton crew.

On paper Mark Shepard seems to have about 106 acres around his house, which I think is a gross branding mistake, because he farms a lot more land than just his homestead. I have to find this interview again because it was kind of shocking and I'm afraid I may be misquoting it. One interviewer got him talking about all of the land he owns elsewhere, leases, or consults on and he makes some comment about he may actually be managing more farmland than anyone east of the Mississippi.

Most of us are on the internet all day regardless. We downplay the incremental cost of both doing things, bragging about it online, and getting it on people's radars, like it's simple but we mostly think about the people who are good at it and not all of the ones who quietly disappeared without most of us ever learning about it.

Farming is exhausting. Farming is remote. Farming is slow, and experiments take years to prove to be more than dumb luck. The gap between killing it and selling your audience on the notion that you are killing it is much, much wider. Talk enough, and you have to stop doing, which means you're now selling ideas that you can't back up.
I had the flu when I took my SATs which likely caused me to not become a national merit finalist, which led to me taking the school I liked better over my second choice (which gave a full scholarship to NM finalists), and it is literally impossible for me to imagine the trajectory of my life had I gone there.
Actually, off the shelf open source and commercial data processing and analysis software can be made to do this stuff, if you're willing to spend $$ on AWS or similar infrastructure. This kind of analysis is easily partitionable, and while you're right that it would be hard to do this for all 3bn phones all the time, it's relatively straightforward to identify hundreds or thousands of candidate devices and then do the needed analysis across a huge data set.

(Built and sold a Data Broker, it's not a low margin biz btw, we had >85% gross margins because of how cheap the source raw data is, and we were doing double-digit millions $$ in revenue).

That leads to poor reviews, which leads to poor sales.
People who live in cities tend to look down on people who don't and wouldn't really care about what happens there, despite the fact that they rely on them for food.

For example, think about how many times you've seen people say they don't care about gas prices because they don't have a car: they take public transportation (which uses gas..) or walk.

The supply chain consists of things magically appearing in bodegas for their consumption, and that's why their pejoratively-named "flyover country" is and does nothing, they think.
Any large company that doesn't explicitly say "we aren't selling your data" is definitely selling your data. You can't really trust what they say, but you can trust what they don't say.
Cells in hardware RAM are only used to hold actual data (and some are wasted to alignment). I may claim to have reserved 512gb of ram for stacks, but unless I’m actually using the space (in which case there’s no issue) then physical ram is not being consumed.
There's not really a lot to discuss.

Most tools support automatic aggregation and review of code comments starting with "TODO". Maybe some of these tools can be configured to support other prefixes as well. But they all support "TODO" by default, and it's pretty trivial to just put your shorthand descriptors after the "TODO".

Also, if you're pushing commits with a ton of "TODO"'s, then you're probably doing something wrong. Many tools will warn you by default, and many CI/CD pipelines will block your commits altogether. If something is small enough to be addressed right now, then you should address it right now. If it's large enough to require addressing later, then it should be a tracked ticket rather than a loose code comment.
