the technology for using this in low light is called a lamp!

in all seriousness, eink devices use something called front lights, which are embedded in the side of the tablet or device and project light from the edge of the screen. it works very well, even allowing red or amber light coloration which is great on the eyes. i have read that front lighting adds a little bit of thickness to a device, though my devices with the technology seem just as then as any of my regular lcd devices.
Agreed 0xFCE2! Indeed, the game industry and robotics still care about performance, since it affects joy (we want smooth framerates, VR headsets can make you sick as low frames per second) and safety (robot control often has real-time requirements). My first computer was a commodore 64 (like you?) and I care about performance, so I enjoy working in those areas.

People should give up.

They should surrender to Musk and let the Elon-mania spread like a wildfire among the population.

Opposing him only prolongs the mania.

At some point such social phenomenons do end on their own. Paul McCartney couldn't walk through London in 1964-65-66-67-68-69-70-71-72.

All of the sudden in 1973 there were other bands and he went back being a human.
Yes, if someone stole my car, I would definitely file a police report. The two here aren’t equivalent. One is stealing your car, the other is someone renting your car and then using it in an unauthorized manner.

Again, it’s a shitty thing what the guy did, but I would file a complaint with Turo and try to get the money for an inspection through that.

Sure, file a police report against the guy (though I don’t think police would pursue any legal action against this guy without damages).

My problem here is the people calling for a lawsuit. Like, how is that a good use of anyone’s time?
My understanding is that the mass relates to particles that the w boson would have to interact with during collisions for it to have the mass that was measure. Our known model doesn't predict this which means there might be particles that we haven't found in our current model. Which is where the super symmetry comes from

It's been almost 24 hours since it was posted, a majority of posts are buried by then. The post seems to have followed a fairly normal lifecycle.

I am not a huge fan of the tone of the OP either, but it does have substantive content and discusses genuine issues (though it probably is not the best way to trigger discussion of those issues), some of which have bitten people at my workplace (dealing with bugs in two different very popular products written in Go, the kind of bugs that are simply not possible in other languages) in just the last week.

It would be interesting to see the response to a less inflammatory article discussing the same issues — I have noticed in general that criticism of Go is often badly received around here regardless of its tone.
The fuel gauge on a car's dashboard has a little arrow or triangle next to it that points to the side of the car with the gas tank.

Why Evil? I don't understand this conclusion; Evil is intended for Vim emulation rather than Vi. Emacs comes with Viper mode out of the box. It's well documented, implements all of Vi and Ex commands, and can be turned on with a simple `M-x viper-mode`; no configuration or external packages needed.

Similarly for Git, Emacs comes with VC built in: It's well documented and provides a powerful uniform interface across a number of VC "backends", including Git.
You can't just look at enlisted pay broadly. You have to look at the troops that earn BAH and those who don't. Both are underpaid, but those who don't get BAH are inundated in very poor base services and are usually on the clock 24/7: https://veteran.com/2022-military-pay-charts/

Another point that I haven't seen brought up here is that usually the people who paint ships are school washouts. They couldn't get through school and have no classification, so this is what they do. I wasn't in the Navy but this is always what I heard.
I'd like to challenge your challenge, if I may.

I'm clinically depressed. I've had suicidal ideation for about twelve years (half my life.) On the rare days when sunlight peeks through and I can see the sky, yeah, working out and taking care of myself make me feel amazing. But most of the time it's just something I do. I don't feel better afterward. There may be a shadow of a thought in the back of my head like "this is making me stronger," but that's about it.

I've read an awful lot of LessWrong guides like the link about, pithily, how to extract more marginal value from your life. The problem is that before doing any of that makes sense I have to stop being so depressed, because every time I do something that's supposed to make me feel good I end up literally wanting to fucking kill myself. When I ask myself what I want out of life, the answer comes back immediately, "I want to die." Depression is this huge boulder that has been keeping me from getting on with my life for years now, and I know this but I'm not strong enough to move it myself. The best I can do is make life in the cave busy.

Before the inevitable replies pour in, I am doing every last thing I physically can about this. I run. I lift. I'm vegetarian and I eat a pretty healthy diet. I'm medicated. I'm in therapy. When I try meditation, it tends to bring me back to the feelings of wanting to die, and that's too much for me to sit with. I'm pursuing ketamine because I'm sick of living like this. I hope it helps me move the boulder.
> Cool URLs not changing isn't about people memorizing them or even really about personal bookmarks: it's about links.

This seems to support my point so I must be misunderstanding it. If a link continues to work because of a redirect, who cares if the URI changes?
I worked in a UK office of a multinational tech company that's headquartered in the US, and observed that the "US left" culture that the company was immersed in was quite different to what I would consider to be left-wing in the UK.

For example, we would have diversity and inclusion trainings that went into great detail about racism categories in the US that don't really apply here in the UK, and topics like gender identity that I understand have become of paramount importance in the US, compared to other issues. This was the first time I encountered the term "latinx", which apparently no-one outside of the US really uses, particularly in Latin-American countries, but that the US left-wing has popularised over there.

On the other hand, the company was vehemently anti-union. Which is about as hard a position against the UK left-wing that you would find here. When visiting our US offices, I also heard colleagues who are nominally on the US left-wing side express what would be some very right-wing opinions from a UK perspective, relating to issues of class, property rights, and healthcare.

So I find it questionable that what is considered left-wing in US-based tech companies is really comparable to how it's understood elsewhere, by real leftists.
Another way would be to link the toll to your average monthly earnings.
IIRC the ZX Spectrum’s ROM included a stack based VM for floating point calculations with a ‘bytecode’ defining the operations - largely I think to cram more instructions into the 16k. The full disassembly is available at

I think a lot of this comes from people forgetting what would be considered normal and good practice everywhere else but something about serverless functions causes people to treat them as a quick and dirty hack solution. Then the inevitable refactor when that becomes a problem.
> it is overstated how hard it is to choose a JDK

It's not hard to choose if you know Java well, but this sort of thing is a huge barrier to entry for someone who is just getting into it, or trying to decide what platform to use.

The community doesn't help here. If you go Googling to try to figure it out, you'll find a mess of conflicting advice being argued with varying levels of passion. By definition, a newcomer doesn't have enough background knowledge to make their own decision, and they aren't necessarily in a position to know whether or not they really need to wade through all that dreck before deciding.

re: frameworks, it's a similar story. Java has a pretty big standard library compared to a lot of smaller programming languages, but it's really not much different here from other platforms that punch in its same weight class, and I believe that includes golang. But the standard library is background noise; if Go's on the table then I've clearly got a job to do, and that job is probably something like writing Web services. And 28 is probably an undercount of the number of Java service and microservice frameworks out there. With a lot of vigorous discussion among proponents of each. It's got to be just stupidly intimidating to face down when you're first getting started. By contrast, I wouldn't be surprised if, by choosing Go, one could have the whole job done in less time than it would take to compile a list of all the information it seems like you have to read before you can even dip a toe into Java.

Disclaimer, I don't think this translates into "Go is good, Java is bad." Personally, I would absolutely pick Java if it were a project I were getting paid to do. For several reasons, but mostly because I already know Java quite well and I know it can get the job done. And I suspect that Java has more general-purpose value than Golang does. But I don't think "Is Java a good platform?" was really the question. It was, "Why might someone choose Go over Java?" and that's a very peculiar question; one that I think you can only answer in an interesting way if you put yourself in the shoes of someone for whom it's a real decision to make - most likely someone who isn't too familiar with either.
It depends on the root certificate usage policy.

I think they ought to be setting it for usage for client identification only.

If it's for server identification too, I wouldn't trust it.

Most certificate stores will not allow the import of a certificate that has been signed by a trusted root that it doesn't know about. That is why you're required to import that root cert.

As for what features it states that it supports ... That's another matter entirely!
There was a class in uni titled Robust Estimation that covers this.
I've never experienced what you have but it's fascinating.

> our cognitive experiences are more complicated than we tend to assume

I arrived at the same conclusion from different experiences. In my late teens and early 20s I worked for several years as a professional magician doing close-up slight of hand magic in nightclubs, restaurants, bars, parties, trade shows and corporate events. I performed for a lot of different types of people in different contexts and noticed how people would describe an effect they'd just seen me do to a friend who didn't see it. Their memory of something they'd just seen moments before was substantially different than what had actually happened.

This is unsurprising because my performance was carefully designed and rehearsed to create that misperception. What is surprising was the extreme detail and certainty of erroneous perceptions even from highly intelligent expert observers who were 100% focused on my every action with maximum effort. I found this super interesting and spent quite a bit of time exploring it with various experiments and pondering the implications which led me to the same realization you had about our conscious perceptions being less accurate and more variable than we internally experience them to be. In short, our memories can seem like a video recording to us but that's just a very convincing self-illusion.

In recent decades psychologists like Richard Wiseman have published research documenting this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3iPrBrGSJM

Mine grow to fill a good chunk of my entire vision and never shrink. Instead the arc continues to grow until it is outside my field of vision and therefore no longer obstructive.
You are right. I chose to stay in a middle size city because there are jobs and rent is not too high.

My education is none of your concern, especially because I actually got paid both for my Bachelors and Masters, due to academic performance scholarships. It cost me nothing and still paid better than most jobs.

I’m not in a deadend, I do very well, I just have zero prospects of retiring or owning a house. I’m not complaining though, I got it better than many people. I’m grateful for that, and especially even more grateful for not having to be someone so bitter like you. Have fun dying soon of old age in your rich life, with no friends or family bc none can stand your boomer personality :)
Pardon? I didn't get it.

You could try chapter 15 of TFA (http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/types.html); otherwise, yes, TaPL is still very good. An alternative (and rather more difficult) path could be to try working through the Programming Language Foundations volume of Software Foundations (https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/plf-current/toc.ht...), also by Pierce (and others), which does all its implementation work in Coq (!).
Post your results, if you remember! I'm interested to know what happens.

My N is 1; I've never yet had the chance to test it a second time. I'm actually looking forward to my next scotoma for that reason!
Since the notes are just frequencies of sound waves, it makes sense to me that some frequencies sound better together and some frequencies don't quite sound resolved when played together.
Want to substantiate your claim that we're as many as hundreds of thousands of death into the climate crisis? Weather has always killed people, perfectly natural weather by the way, so if you're going to attribute deaths specifically to human-caused climate change, a source or two would be nice to see.
People used to keep all windows open to get the cooling airflow. Now they keep all windows closed with aircon on.
That happened for us (basically the same situation) many times over the whole time we used Google Apps, and I've seen other reports of the same over the last five years. It probably happened more than we noticed, because we only noticed when people happened to follow it up via some other mechanism. It also happens to non-commercial users - emails sent as a reply from gmail webmail to gmail in an existing conversation sometimes get spam-binned without obvious reason.
The phrase "it's the woman's choice" in popular use is made in the implied scenario where the man wants a child. You hear it a lot because men forcing/coercing women into things has been a problem that got a lot of attention after the sexual revolution, and this case is especially dramatic since bearing a child is a particularly unfair burden for somebody who doesn't want it. If the man in the theoretical situation doesn't want a child and the woman does, then of course his opinion matters. The idea that women should be allowed to force men to have children is not, as your are implying, a problem of significant scale in popular culture or media (though, as usual with cultural/social/political wars, anything can be cherry-picked).
I’m really torn on Integza. It’s a great channel and I love his spirit, but guys like that (and the teenagers that follow them) end up getting hurt or burning down their houses, which makes the news and gets new restrictions passed on all of us.

Just a _little_ more nodding to safety would make him an awesome resource.

I mean, you're right. But that's not really a surprise considering that transistor density directly correlates with power efficency. You can have the best engineers in the world designing your chips, but it won't really matter if your competitor can undercut you on node size.

Conversely, you can have the most efficient silicon but it won't always give you the performance crown. Considering how "bad" Intel's chips should be on paper, it's still fairly impressive to see the kind of single-thread performance they dish out.

There's probably also something to be said for process efficiency too. Sure Apple's 5nm silicon isn't power hungry, but getting those chips into mass production is a hugely wasteful effort. 5nm's yield was awful for those first few years, and you could definitely tell Apple was feeling it with some of their binned chip options. Kinda makes me wonder how much water, silicon, neon and power was wasted manufacturing all those busted dies that never made the cut.
Yeah, mine are always pulsing, shimmering, whirling, or moving in some other way--most often more than one way at once. My earliest ones were like a black hole in the middle of my vision with an aurora borealis slowly radiating ouward while color changes whirled around it at high speed.

I comfortably watch videos, browse the web, and do work every single day on my eink external monitor, my eink cell phone, and eink tablet. it is absolutely magical how fast the refresh rate is on modern eink android devices. you wouldn't want to watch your favorite nature documentary, but it is very useful for getting pertinent information from a video., watching lectures or stand up comedy works perfectly fine, and eink is vastly superior in my opinion for browsing the web if you primarily read when you are on your computer.
I'm specifically objecting to the framing that musk "dared to disagree", as if anything he did took courage, or that Tweeting memes is how adult professionals handle workplace disagreements with subordinates. Probably this idea of misogyny is overselling it, but this seems to be an example of Musk attempting to engage in the very "cancel culture" he decries. There are a billion other ways to handle his disagreement that would lead to a better outcome than tweeting a meme.

Again I have to ask: what did Musk expect would happen? If he didn't think the result of tweeting that meme would be harassment of the person he targeted, misogynistic or otherwise (although that is the brand of backlash he produced), what was his actual goal in tweeting the image? What was he trying to accomplish?

edit: Again to reiterate, the basis of my objection to Musk's meme is not that it's misogynistic, its that the effect was a predictable (because it happens with great frequency so as to be expected) misogynistic backlash. So if Musk simply disagreed with this particular person, he could have handled that in a professional way. By tweeting a meme targeting someone in public, everyone knows that target is going to get a deluge of misogynistic hate if they are a woman. That is how Twitter, the company Musk just bought and of which he is a prolific user, operates. So he should know that fact.

If Musk has a simple disagreement he should act as adult professionals do and talk about that disagreement with that specific individual, instead of targeting them publicly in a way he should have known would cause her harm.
Your argument against footgun avoidance is only applicable in narrow cases. In aviation, for example, there are quite a few footguns you can kill yourself with - and, which is very relevant to the issue in general, other people as well - and the practice is to mitigate them wherever feasible. We have stall warnings and stick pushers, ground proximity warnings and TCAS, ABS and interlocks to prevent doing things like engaging reverse thrust when the wheels are off the ground. Now, with software-controlled fly-by-wire systems, the ability to mitigate pilot footguns has been greatly expanded, and is being taken advantage of. Furthermore, these mitigations appeared first in high-performance military aviation, before fly-by-wire appeared in commercial aircraft.

For a more specifically computer-systems example, perhaps we should consider security? - oh, wait...
Good science always leaves the door open to alternative explanations, even when it may be unlikely. In this case the researchers were relying on BMI to measure obesity. BMI doesn't account for musculature. To not even consider this possibility would be the domain of agenda-driven research, which this paper clearly was not.

Here is a link to the actual paper [1]. Their concluding statement was:

"Professional athletes are not immune from the
growing obesity crisis and may not provide optimal role models of health. Concussions have drawn
attention to overlooked long-term health consequences of sport participation. Increasing body
mass in professional baseball players warrants similar attention for its potential impact on long-term
morbidity and mortality because these players hold
a special place as role models of health and human
performance in our society."

in my experience things like Tailwind are mostly pushed by managers, not developers

the managers see how simple it is to build complex UIs in Tailwind and then project it into how much resources they can save their company and how quickly they'll be able to iterate on design

a major problem with projects that are built with tailwind is that the code produced is unmaintainable, unreadable spaghetti

you can even see it on their own home page if you scroll down a couple sections

https://tailwindcss.com

tailwind also requires a build system and introduces 500+ npm dependencies, which is a huge security risk

personally i think Tailwind is a solution looking for problem and would avoid it at all costs
