> it seems all transgressive elements have been stripped from the mix and it’s all about “please like me, like my product, I’m desperate for your approval”

I think you're just commenting from your bubble, and using the flawed argument from the article to rationalize it (not to mention the fact that the people you're most likely to see are the minority vying for your attention).

In 1977 the top 20 grossing movies were probably watched by over 50% of movie watchers because there were just so few options. What do you think that proportion is now? I'm willing to bet that if you sampled random movie watchers, fewer than 10% of them will have watched any of the top 20 movies this year. There's just so much content out there, I don't think the top grossing movies mean as much anymore.

People's attention is spread very thin across hundreds of thousands of small creators these days. And consider that if you're a small YouTuber with a few thousand core fans, you're roughly as successful as the most underground punk rock bands/indie film directors of the 70s. As I see it, the "alternative" culture is bigger than it's ever been. I could be a die-hard fan of a dozen different works that I consider very mainstream, and yet my next door neighbor will not be familiar with any of them.

Why do you think 3:2 is better than 4:3?
This blog post goes off the rails in the second sentence.

> The crypto movement, the very rebellion that set out to defeat [WallSt/TheFed] hegemony, has provided them with the necessary new-age tech to enhance their existing order.

Like what tech do banks or the government need from the crypto crowd? Trading has been electronic for decades, the credit card networks are orders of magnitude more scalable than any blockchain, ACH exists.
Most of the mario and zelda ports yes.
They wanted me to purchase vaccines, but indirectly because they want everyone to pay for them.
The platform names are interchangeable, but the constant issue seems to be that social status is tied to storing personal data in some company's database
> I think part of the problem is that video calls make it super-easy to context switch and do something else the minute the meeting becomes uninteresting (e.g. a topic that doesn't apply to you, or just a very dry discussion). Once your attention wanders elsewhere, its hard to reengage meaningfully.

This is as true in in-person meetings where people are allowed to bring in their laptops. It was a common problem pre-pandemic, and I'd often criticize meeting organizers for having a poor meeting format (e.g. team meeting every week or two weeks with unclear agendas, or having agenda items where each item only involves 1-3 people, but since it's a different set of 1-3 people for each agenda item, everyone is forced to be present for the whole meeting, etc).
If anyone has thoughts on question 35 I’m curious to hear them. I’ve come up with a very simple method/solution, and a slightly more complicated solution, and bot produce results that are not among the proposed answers.
They do not 'need' anything. Apparently there's some utility for a cryptographically signed ledger, but I suspect that's a 'blockchain' in name only.

EDIT: I remember some banking 'crypto' projects announced by several institutions across the globe. Whether they are real projects or just a way to try to attract investments by pitching the latest fad, I do not know.
> Removing the ability to embed record delimiters, for example, means you can process the records in parallel. That’s a massive improvement all by itself.

I can process records from a csv in parallel just fine. Lexing isn't slow.

.csv stream -> tokens -> records (-> aggregate into ~100ms blocks) -> work queue with N workers
Physicians and prescription providers get sued all the time. It is a serious concern that that I've seen firsthand that can cause symptoms similar to postpartum depression, suicide thoughts, etc.
Yes! Exactly. How is it different than if you killed the child right after it was delivered? Or how about a couple of years later while it was physically and sexually abused in foster care because the mother had to give the child to the state. Or maybe the mother tried to do good by the child and kept it but it became such a burden that she was unable to continue her education and she ended up in a less than ideal situation and the child became malnourished and died or the mother fell into drugs as an escape and the mother made less than good decisions leading to the child's death. Or maybe the mother busted her ass but because of continuous cutbacks by the GOP was unable to get the assistance she needed to get out of the projects and that child fell in with the wrong crowd, joined a gang, and ended up killing a number of other people?

If you're "pro-life" then you have then you have to support the life post birth as well.

Pro-choice reduces deaths through safe abortions. Pro-choice reduces deaths by not bringing babies into the world that their parents and social welfare programs, that the right continue to kill, can't support. If you're going to be hyperbolic with "liberals wanting to kill babies" then I'm going to be hyperbolic with "The right want to kill babies, children, toddlers, and their parents and make their life a living hell until their demise comes"
Never leave a child alone with any unknown dog. Or really any dog known or not. Children have the bad habit of getting in dogs faces, pulling their ears, etc and don’t always understand a dogs warninings.

Yes, a bigger, stronger dog has the potential for more damage if it becomes aggressive. Funny you use chihuahua as a counter example, because their reputation is for aggression. A chihuahua is less dangerous because it is smaller not because it is inherently less aggressive.
> raising the car a few inches just at the moment of impact, apparently slightly reducing the potential for injury

I wonder if the occupants of the other car benefit in any way...
"sure, just saying that

>virtually unlimited executive powers the CDC believes it has

is not true"

This is from the same user. That and the use of "even" in the other comment makes me think they believe that the CDC can't do/fund firearm research, as that is a common media/political narrative.
high five :D And then the horror when your mother accidentally picks up the phone.

You had to actually wait for the gratification. BTW, Soulseek still exists, and is still awesome. Kids these days.... I bet they don't even organize their media collections!

You might be one of the few people here who properly appreciates the best perk of that aforementioned summer job was it came with a free ISDN line.

More than half a lifetime ago and I (clearly) still want to brag about it. ;-)
I've been taking a walk every day since covid. Part of my daily routine now, early as soon as the sun comes up. It's usuallly 30(ish) mins, but your comment just made me change tomorrow's time to 90 mins.

Just wanted to say thanks, ill seriously give this a try.
> E.g. if the player to your right speaks, the signal you hear will be panned to the right

FYI that is fairly atypical. Mostly in mil-sim type games like ARMA, or VR games. Most in game voip is just a mono source played through both stereo channels equally.
Love this video and the people in the movie! Thanks for recommendation. It's really beautiful and warm.
their first party titles are pretty bad. Splatoon is anti-fun -- I play 99% of the games I play with my wife and the inability for us to queue up and play on the same team pushed us away from Splatoon 2 which we otherwise loved. The co-op mode was fun, but since it is nintendo, not available every day. Just to reiterate -- the only multiplayer mode where you could guarantee you get to play with your friends was PvE and only enabled some days. Most if not all of their games are like this. Look at the pathetic online community for their greatest and most comprehensive super smash game. That is a dropped ball, there isn't really a second way about it.
I can't speak for Tories (or other people in the UK), but there may be a difference between government legislators and government executives. Executives have certain obligations, and being an executive in two (potentially conflicting) organizations may be more 'hazardous' or 'conflicting' than being a legislator in the government and an executive in a private capacity. As an example, it seems common for many city councilors to run businesses, but it could be seen as more problematic for a mayor to do so.
If you're interested there's a lot of info about the compiler here: https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/#CH-Compiler

There are multiple passes, the last of which is byte code although at one point, native code was (is?) an option with HiPE (High Performance Erlang). HiPE seems to have been passed over by the development team in favour of JIT.
Hehe, thinking of Florida?
As bad as that sounds, all that water (plus all the water used on residential lawns) is included in the 3-5% of California's water that goes to residential use. You could drain every pool in the state and barely touch the total water consumption. And as DannyBee mentioned above, per-capita water use has already been cut 30% over the last 20 years. You could shut off all residential water supplies entirely, to cut residential use by 100%, and still only reduce total water consumption by 5% at most.

Pools aren't the problem. Lawns aren't the problem. Residential use isn't the problem.
More than a decade into at this point. I don't see why it'd burst now.
Pregnancy causes permanent body changes for one thing, even putting aside spending 9 months being forced by the state to do something with your body that you don't want to do.

I'd hope we could all agree that better sex education and making access to contraceptives easier would be a great way to lower the number of abortions. But many of the states that have restricted access also ban such practices, mandate abstinence-only education in schools, etc. Why not mandate that any hospital that receives federal funds must provide contraceptive RX/shots at low or no cost? If abortion is so bad why oppose easy wins?

IMHO that says more about the real motivations than anything else. It has nothing to do with a child's life - the same politicians oppose the child tax credit and cut funding for early education, child healthcare programs, etc. The real purpose is to punish "those dirty whores" for living a lifestyle they don't approve of. Sometimes for personal reasons, sometimes for religious reasons. So they use the power of the state (the barrel of a gun) to force people to conform to their view of what is right - a minority view I might add.

I happen to think that's immoral and a misuse of state power. It is also incompatible with true conservatism, libertarianism, liberalism, and progressivism.
I would argue that their hit rate is a lot lower than it has been. Sure, the zelda and mario / mario kart rehashes sell like hotcackes. But their secondary franchises are stagnating hard.
I thought the overall "shadowy Wall Street elite cabal" in this article was bizarre and a bit nauseating.

I actually mentioned this somewhat recently, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31156677, but the one place where crypto and blockchain actually does make sense to me is as a replacement for our (in the US) insanely outdated and antiquated settlement systems for banks.

I was a software developer well steeped in the "API world" of modern software development, and when I got into fintech/banking and learned about how our current banking technology works I had about 64,000 WTFs. The thing that finally "clicked" with me is when I understood that our current banking technology is really just a digital implementation of paper processes from basically the 1950s and 60s. That why so much of the stuff is big, batch-file-processing-based, and why things that seem like they should be quite simple and straightforward have loads of confusing and arcane rules (just see the NACHA specs for ACH transfers).

So seeing that large financial institutions are making use of blockchain technology (but without some of the stuff that is the achilles heel of many current cryptocurrencies, like proof-of-work) I see as a great thing to modernize our financial technology. This "crypto anarchists vs. wall street elites" bullshit is just something that plays out in a comic book-view of the world.
Perhaps it was reduced by a percentage for contributory negligence I’m not sure OP would know all the facts (he just knows he dosent have to pay)
Sorry, I meant G3 Powerbook. My retro Macbook knowledge is not very well-maintained. I always just called the G4 the "2007 model", which was decidedly vague.
> Just because both circumstances can exert selective pressure does not mean they are the same.

Selective pressure makes change. Different selective pressure makes difference. Reproductive isolation makes large differences possible. Humans have lived in very different environments and been reproductively isolated. There is no a priori reason to believe human populations are the same on every trait. And they’re not. Similar on most things but not on everything.
> Like, who is the employee at the insurance company who takes that call, and how do they decide what's just too risky, when there can't be much historical data on risk?

I suspect that it is the underwriters, who are responsible for assessing risks and determining what constraints and requirements must be met to claim insurance. Their work can be highly mathematical and, other times, they will just look at the underwriting guidelines and say "No, we won't let you test a homemade parachute on a living human because your team are not professional parachute manufacturers with valid indemnity insurance we can mitigate our risk against."
> talks about lit-html which is a fully incompatible replacement for Polymer.

lit-html is completely different from web components and not meant to replace Polymer. lit-html is a library that just handles rendering and lit-element, which is meant to replace polymer uses lit-html as its renderer to make web coponents.
> I laugh at the notion we have a free market since the basis of our system is 50-70 year old back room deals that boosted families like Gates, Musk, Andreesen, Bezos.

Can you please clarify what you mean?

50 years ago Gates was 16, Bezos was 8, Andreesen was 1 and Musk was newborn. 70 years ago none of them were even born. I highly doubt they were party to backroom deals!
Yeah, because killing your own son/daughter will bring zero psychological implications.

I think it's an edge case, but not necessarily an extreme edge case. Lots of people have both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and app bundles make it easy/natural to move apps between computers.
Political momentum to migrate to newer technologies while bypassing compliance and regulatory requirements. Most of the banking "distributed" ledgers are so siloed that the number of parties running the nodes can be counted on one to two hands.
>so could elementary school teachers

Is there any historical precedent of elementary school teachers committing crimes against humanity comparable to public health officials?

>It's much more productive to talk about actual concerns. Do you have any to share?

Are you not familiar with any of the historical atrocities committed by public health officials across the world since the beginning of "public health"?
I use plain JS, couple of libs and web components for business front ends. Works like a charm. Never needed React. It was created by FB to solve FB problems. Being small company this React approach to me it is just plain overhead.
splatoon 2 was so, so sad. just really obviously bad decisions that made playing with friends impossible. Maybe to avoid smurfs / stompers? But at the cost of precluding anyone that likes playing with their friends.
Sure. I should be able to force you to endure 9 months of torture (not to mention the potential for severe health complications), potentially condemning the child to 18 years in the foster system, because of my beliefs. Got it.

What do you mean by "implemented"?

Clearly macro-op fusion is a computable transformation of the instruction stream, so macro-op fusion is certainly feasible. I think what Jha was questioning was whether catching up to ARM is feasible if your main weapon is macro-op fusion. The Celio/Dabbelt/Patterson/Asanović tech report I linked yesterday shows that it's promising, but it's been six years and I'd like to know if that's actually being tried and how well it works.

Bruce Hoult's comment from a few months ago suggests that it wasn't really being tried at SiFive, but he left SiFive a couple years ago and might be out of date, and the Honey Badger designs are potentially a whole new ballgame.
Thank goodness Ron Gilbert has you to tell him what a proper Monkey Island game needs to be.

I've been watching some studio Ghibli movies with my kids, it's been a treat!

The ones we watched so far (Kikis Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro) have a style of storytelling that is delightful and engaging without feeling rushed or overwhelming.

Not all of their movies are suitable for younger audiences, but I think many/most are. I highly recommend them.
Is CL being used in new projects these days?
> jQuery

I still see it on resumes today.

> that google framework

Seriously, Google stuff is infamous for being smothered by Google itself, what's your point

> nobody cares anymore

Literally the only non-Google example you could think of is still popular. But jQuery wasn't a graceful idea with a strong implementation, it was a wrapper to alleviate the pain of browser APIs. React is a wrapper to alleviate the pain of JS. Thus my original claim: "[a] world where React isn’t used and remembered is one where the web isn’t based on the same primitives". I don't see that happening soon.
I expect a lot of things to become more traumatic, given that the maternal death rate will probably increase even further, and it gets harder for women to get prenatal care.

Using Goroutines, I also made 10k 2D rabbits wander on a map for 5% of my laptop cpu (they'd sleep a lot admitedly). One goroutine per rabbit, how amazing when you think about it. That's when Go really got me.

edit: oh they do rabbits in the video as well what a bunny coincidence

edit2: the goroutines werent drawcalling btw, they were just moving the rabbits. The drawcalls were still made using a regular for loop, in case you wonder.

> Then someone tells you, hey, learn some Java too, it's easy to get a boring corporate job if you know Java. Anyway, that's what schools are teaching right now in their core intro CS curriculum, more or less.

Your description accurate but a little off because most students at least in America learn Java first as part of their AP Computer Science course, and a lot of colleges use Java as an intro language for this very reason.
You don't need to breed.
> TFA, for one, shows tons of ways it isn't so...

It doesn't though. What percentage of people do you think made up the viewership of the top 20 movies in 1977 vs today? People's attention is spread much thinner over vastly more "content" than ever before. You can be a fan of 20 different things that your neighbor has never heard of; this was much more difficult 50 years ago. I don't think the top 20 means much anymore.
I think you only need to look at things like which games make the most money and which games are most viewed on twitch / youtube etc. Undoubtedly there is still a great market for single player and couch co op games. Nintendo is king here because their copyright moat lets them make the same 4 games every 3 years and we all buy them.
Not really. All quality metrics are subjective. But if you accept a particular quality metric, then you can objectively assess things against it. For example, C is objectively better than Brainfuck if your goal is to write software easily. If your goal is something else, like challenging yourself to overcome adversity, then Brainfuck might be objectively better than C.
WasmEdge is unfortunate in that it is >20kloc of C/C++, obviating many of the security properties of Wasm itself. Many folks would have liked to see something like safe Rust. Of course there will always be issues with codegen, but at least that has had research around the application of formal methods.

Is there a WasmEdge replacement shim using Wasmtime?
They need retail FOMO and Crypto gives that. Probably less than 0.1% cares of underlying cryptography and computer science. Regular people are buying Shiba&Doge coins and NFTs to become rich quick.

Paypal, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Robinhood are all supporting that by hyping this “innovative investment” in their ads and providing easy way in.
Well, MHA is supposed to feel like an American superhero comic even though it's set in Japan. So it's more like "My Hero Academia" is the title and 僕のヒーローアカデミア is a translation/furigana subtitle.

"Boku no Hero" is also kind of hard to say out loud. But now that I think about it the use of "boku" (which is like an "androgynous" first person pronoun for boys or tomboys) probably means it's specifically about Deku's academic life.
