While still a work in progress (including rendering issues) there is also the open source OpenMoji that has both black and white and color variants:

https://hfg-gmuend.github.io/openmoji/

Personally, I much prefer the color and I like that those color emoji are flat 2D rather than the 3d that other emoji sets mostly use (although I'm not fond of OpenMoji's neckless people).
I've heard/read such reports about valve from various other people, including friends I trust saying so privately. He is an outlier in how vehement his criticism is but is hardly the only one that throws that criticism at Valve (keep in mind workers face massive disincentives to do so publicly).

Yes, this thread has brought out quite a few "I read an evo psych article once" experts.
Doesn’t mean you need to fixate on them.
Obviously those percentages can't be accurate. Just look around. The average person at age 35 is in a long-term heterosexual relationship. That's still the default. Not everyone, but way more than 20%.
Personally, I've had the opposite experience. Rust is one of the few languages that has proper support for algebraic data types and pattern matching, which I consider table stakes for a programming language. I know that's not what draws most people to Rust, and I'm also drawn to many other aspects of it, but it bothers me that most languages embrace product types but have little or no support for their categorical dual.

This is a funny comparison to draw, but I don't think it's one with profound meaning: humans have trouble drawing bicycles, but the semantics of a badly-drawn bicycle are sound. This is in contrast to DALL-E, which might do an excellent job of drawing apples but otherwise misses the semantics of the query (i.e., "without apples").

In other words: humans mis-draw things because we don't always do a good job of visually apprehending the world; DALL-E mis-draws things because it doesn't really understand the problem statement.
I'm 53 and I can't relate to the talk of feeling like my brain is less elastic. I am by no means the pinnacle of fitness (diabetes type 2 etc).

One thing I'll note, is that coding has always been a way for me to solve personal entrepreneurial problems. I get an idea, I want to make it happen, I'll use/learn the best tech to make it a reality. So I use the madness to fuel the learning.

I guess there's always the chance it was never elastic to begin with!

I work on an email marketing product. The product itself is not much different to any other SAAS product but the company pays for me to work in the office which is in another state every quarter so it feels like a free holiday 4x a year. And usually there is a company paid for party/events on in that time.
US banks support access via API and apps use to fetch data. European banks usually don’t do that, for security reasons.

Here's some good context for what the limitations look like in practice.
I'm aware of the benefits of double entry bookkeeping, and tried to use GNUCash for a while.

The fact that it doesn't have an official companion smartphone app (that I'm aware of) was the dealbreaker; I can go for weeks without touching my personal computer.

Ultimately I've resorted to Google Sheets with a lot of formulae and data validation; I can now see all my incomes and expenses, the summary of all my accounts, expenses across different categories etc. I've been on this for a while now and it's been great.

And Google Sheets sync to my smartphone as well. (I periodically manually backup all the important stuff separately, just in case Google blocks me).

Also I'm not a huge fan of the UI.

Still, I would've used GNUCash if I used my personal computer regularly.
I’m not sure what “gnarly” things you tried to implement, but for anyone else in a similar situation, a good starter usecase for Rust is writing a command line utility.

Crates to check out:

- clap for command and argument parsing

- anyhow for “easy” error handling

- log + env_logger for logging

- reqwest for HTTP requests (start off by using the blocking client)

- serde + serde_json for handling JSON

- rayon to “magically” parallelize your code (using multiple threads)
That was a great article and put into words a lot of the feelings I have had about my experiences with Go better than I could have. I also learnt a few new ways to shoot myself in the foot :)

The MIT vs New Jersey style of thinking was eye opening. And I also feel like my "values" lie closer to a language that prioritizes correctness over simplicity. I understand that means more work for the maintainers of the language though.

I wish I had that framework of thinking a few years ago. Rust's emphasis on correctness and requirement that the user deal with correctness too (with sum types + exhaustive matches etc) is I think the main reason I enjoy the language so much.
There are pens that write well on Moleskine but with good paper you can write with nearly any pen and it won't bleed/feather. Moleskine notebooks look and feel like they are high quality but the paper itself is very poor in quality.

That being said, If the pens one likes to use work well on Moleskine, there's no reason why a person shouldn't use it.

Leuchtterm, Clairefontaine, Rhodia, and Tomoe River are some examples of high quality paper. If you want something that's close but quite a bit cheaper Black and Red has some options that work well even with a flexible fountain pen.

The former says:

> (2) Notwithstanding s. 189.072(2), any independent special23
district established by a special act prior to the date of24
ratification of the Florida Constitution on November 5, 1968,25
and which was not reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise26
reconstituted by a special act or general law after November 5,27
1968, is dissolved effective June 1, 2023.

I.e., the legislature in 2022 does not feel bound by the legislature in 2021, and just to be sure they came up with a specific constitutional rationale for that beyond the traditional one.

It also says that the Reedy Creek district can re-apply to become an independent district again.

In any case, SB-4C doesn't address the bond issue at all, and it doesn't say that 189.072 doesn't apply as to bonds.

189.072 says, about bonds:

> (4) DEBTS AND ASSETS.—Financial allocations of the assets and indebtedness of a dissolved independent special district shall be pursuant to s. 189.076.

and 189.076 says:

> (2) Unless otherwise provided by law or ordinance, the dissolution of a special district government shall transfer the title to all property owned by the preexisting special district government to the local general-purpose government, which shall also assume all indebtedness of the preexisting special district.

So I assume that continuity will be provided: the financial obligations of the special district will become the financial obligations of the two counties spanned by Disney's special district.

That doesn't seem in the least mysterious. I'm sure there will be court cases, but ISTM that the text in question is pretty straightforward.
I think you cannot do it wirelessly (for a non-jailbroken device). If you connect with an USB cable, I think we can achieve it by removing the old file and replace it with a new one.

But I'm curious, why not creating new book every time?

Or if you don't want to read all of those articles yet, why not send it at some later time?
Well said - you don't need to write tests for your code if you don't write bugs!

I agree it doesn't understand. I believe we will have an AGI when you ask it to draw:

Then it will respond:

"FU, it cannot be drawn!"
Rust's traits are a limited version of Haskell's type classes. They are more limited in at least two ways:

1. Rust's traits are unary relations (i.e., predicates) on types, whereas Haskell's type classes support relations of arbitrary arity ("multi-parameter type classes").

2. Rust's traits do not support higher kinds, so you can't define many things which are considered pretty basic to Haskell programmers (Functor, Monad, etc.).

But despite these limitations, Rust's traits are still great and better than what 99% of other languages have.

> DuckDB’s non-SQL interface, where you build up a query plan from nodes in Python is the future

DuckDB is a convenient drop-in for OLAP in the way that SQLite is for OLTP, it's a great library. Python's death on the vine as a data analytics platform cannot come fast enough. There's a reason people are abandoning pandas and spark/databricks in droves and fleeing to useful SQL-like tooling such as Snowflake. Once this tech bubble bursts, and the tens-of-thousands of subsidized Python-packing data scientists/engineers/analysts get laid off, the language will return to what it should be: another scripting language that generates SQL for talking to a real data engine.
I guess for companies that have unlimited positions open this could help. But I feel like most companies hire to fill a specific post, and the most obvious reason for not being hired, is that they hired someone else.

As an employer I have been in a situation where we had 3 perfectly good candidates for s position, any of the 3 would have been fine at the job, but there's only one post. There was no reason for rejecting 2 of them other than there was only one post to fill.

While we didn't have discrimination issues to deal with there, it would be hard to show (if there had been) that we were being ageist or whatever.

I can completely see though that hiring someone at say 30 may be more attractive than hiring a 58 year old. I might feel that a 58 year old will retire soon (so I have to hire all over again), or that they might have a "don't tell me how to do it, I've been doing this for 30 years" attitude, which can be unhelpful. That's balanced against greater experience meaning they should be better at the actual job.

I can certainly see how over 55 makes you less attractive than compeditors for the spot.

Well since race is an arbitrary social construct with no consistent, objective definition then anyone can choose any racial identity they like without it being a lie.

But when I was in the dating market I wouldn't have been willing to date a racist anyway, so the question is moot.

We are on a website filled to the brim of people using their abnormal intellects to excel beyond the vast majority of society and amass wealth. I'd go so far as to say that double digits of posters here are part of the 1%. Stop whining about a superficial perceived inferiority that has no real impact on your ability to survive and thrive, and use your galaxy brains to figure out how the mating game works. I'm relatively short and not that attractive but spent a bit of effort on understanding others are looking for in a man and it paid off. There are billions of people out there.
>The article doesn't mention Moleskine once, yet it seems several comments are about that brand. What's going on there?

The reason the comments mention Moleskine is that its the first "fancy" brand of paper that the majority of people have heard of. Its also actually quite terrible in terms of quality to the point of being almost unusable with fountain pens and also with a lot of standard pens you might find in an office supply section of a department store.
i shouldn't be required to convert my books to a proprietary format in order to read them. i also have some epubs that have issues when being converted to mobi or azw3. issues as in they can't be read on the kindle after being converted even though they are read just fine in calibre. if they would just support epub then this wouldn't be an issue.
MOBI is so outdated and lack many newer features on Kindle. So much so that Amazon is discontinuing sending mobi via email later this year.
It's interesting though that the Spectrum did well in the UK and USSR (as clones), but the almost identical Timex-Sinclair 2068 flopped hard in the US.

I wonder if timing played a role-- it hit the market while the US video game/home computer market was already in a price-shock. Other competitors were in fire-sale mode (TI, Coleco) or at least seriously repositioning in the market (Atari).

On the other hand, it's possible the Sinclair compromises weren't appealing to American customers who had a broader selection to choose from-- even if it was competitively priced, the 2068's "it's better than a ZX81" keyboard doesn't look good compared to a bargain-priced VIC-20 or TI-99/4A.
Yes, for example, I think comments like yours which are so vehemently against free expression should never be tolerated here.
Is this built on top of electron?

I recently ended my subscription for YNAB after more than half a decade of usage. I was grandfathered into the old price, but they took that away with the most recent price increase, so I could not justify staying.

However, since I have quit, I have not found my habits to have changed. I think some part of the system is permanently burned into my brain. I am exploring my options with hledger, and it's been a neat experience so far.
Thanks for sharing! I was hoping to find in this thread the system other people use in their notebooks.

Why do I have to sign up to do anything? I'd love to re-learn some algorithms, but forcing me to sign up to access anything at all just makes me want to not sign up. chess.com lets you do a bunch of stuff without signing up.

The problem with replacing books is that I would lose my older highlights.

If I create a new book for everything, it would become messy _really_ quickly.

So if it's possible to append pages to a book, I can also create a book per category and append pages as I save articles.
> Think Erlang.

Conventional Erlang style is to crash a lot, but to limit the amount that crashes by using enough processes, I believe, c.f. "The How and Why of Fitting Things Together" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed7A7r6DBsM&t=1535s>. But the key part to handling failure is to detect it first, and silently passing through nil/null/etc is not that.

I didn't have any issues removing drm from my purchased amazon books as of a few months ago using the latest version of calibre released at the time and the latest version of the kindle for windows app.
> I don't know whats worse. Slavery and having a chance at contributing to the future gene pool with other slaves or plantation owner's wives. Or not having a chance at all at contributing to the gene pool not because of your skin color but because of your height or the amount in your bank account or not wearing clothes that fit or not deciphering the code she emits, etc... Actually when you are a slave you still have a voice.

I don't even know how to respond to this post but I don't think it's worth having no one respond to it. I'm going with direct.

Being a slave is worse. What in the actual fuck.
The point is that writing "__builtin_popcount" makes your intentions clearer than implementing popcount as a loop. The guaranteed performance is downstream of the clarity: since the code is more explicit, the compiler doesn't have to rely on heuristics to guess that you want popcount, so it will always do the right thing.
this

you can have either nice mini for 50% extra over SE or archaic design for reasonable price

and then people are surprised why these are not selling, maybe just maybe how about providing nice design for reasonable price? but of course that world cannibalize sales of other models they wanna push, so let's blame the small phones

for the record Samsung S10e was best selling Samsung model in Czechia the year it was released

people argue that S22 has similar dimensions (4mm longer), but with no SD card, no jack, but most importantly starting price was roughly 10% higher than S10e and with S10e the price dropped after 3.5 months 30%, while with S22 we see less than 10% drop after 2.5 months and I doubt they will catch up the drop in the one month
Either Go or Rust would be great. They're both good alternatives to C. D, Zig, Crystal, Nim are other ones you might consider.

An alternative to these that I use for hobby projects, is Ada. It's weird and most people laugh at me for using it. It's super simple (you can learn it in about a month), and it writes like a more strongly-typed and safer, Pascal version of C. It also has built-in concurrency and provides low-level control. I did a presentation at FOSDEM to give an overview of the language since most people don't know much about it (https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/ada_outsiders_guide/).

There's a tool called Alire (https://alire.ada.dev/) that will install the toolchain for you and simplifies building and running. The open source community is super tiny, probably 1/10th or smaller of that of the Rust or Go communities. However, since the language has been around and evolving for decades, it's surprisingly easy to get answers to questions, since there's quite a few very experienced folks around. Though it's easy to make bindings, there's relatively few available. However, since the language's open source scene is new compared to the rest of the language, it's a place you and your friends could make a big impact.
> I guess you mean skeuomorphic, with heightened 3D presence caused by heavy use of light and shadow

No, not really; the problem is more, taking things that were originally introduced with the intention of being abstract pictograms signifying emotions; and adding enough un-called-for detail (i.e. details not required by the Unicode codepoint description) as to make things like gender and race seem like a relevant or even necessary property.

Consider: in all modern implementations, "emotion" emoji are displayed with... heads. Opaque backing "vaguely skin-tinted" blobs at the very least; full-on human heads with ears and noses and hair in some fonts.

They don't need to be. Nothing about the Unicode codepoint for e.g. U+1F603 "grinning face with big eyes" says the "face" needs to even be visualized as being on a head. It could be doing a cheshire-cat-smile thing, just eyes and a mouth — ":D" but rotated 90 degrees. And, in fact, that's exactly what it was, in the DoCoMo image-font, one of the three that led to the Unicode introduction of emoji!

But for some reason, now we don't just have skeuomorphism (shiny eyes, pink mouths with tongues, blushing cheeks); we have these heads, and ears, and hair; and before you know it, people wondering why the head is yellow rather than some actual skin tone; or why the increasingly-less-generic face shape seems to be more masculine than feminine; etc.

Why not just cut the Gordian knot? Get rid of the "head" part. Get rid of any part that's not required to communicate the concept. Make an image-font of only the Minimum Viable Pictograms for what each of the Unicode codepoint descriptions describes.

Which is orthogonal to skeuomorphism, mind you. This isn't about whether a tongue has a tongue-ish texture to it. It's about whether you should include a tongue at all.
Linear App Project Management Tool Free Tier
I am the founding team member of a small startup. I was thinking about using Linear as our project management tool. The UI/UX is amazing and I've heard great things about it which makes me want to try it out even more.
The problem is, since we are a very early stage startup, I don't think we'll be able to afford Linear for maybe the next 3 months or so ( India based so the USD to INR conversion makes it worse ). I can see linear has a very generous plan but the things I am worried about is the 250 issue limit, and the 150 MB file upload limit.
Is anyone using Linear Free tier one and have you faced any crucial issues with using it?
