I don’t really disagree. I’m not a luddite and I don’t advocate for turning off the internet. Computers are certainly here to stay. It’s an extremely complex issue, and I don’t have all the answers, or even know how to phrase all the questions.

I do think society needs to take a proactive role in deciding how it wants to interact with technology though. There’s a certain laissez faire, almost defeatist attitude that you see from a lot of the tech crowd, that goes something like “technology will do what it does, and it will change our lives how it sees fit, and we are powerless to stop it.” But if that was the case, we couldn’t have gun control laws, or environmental protection laws, or restrictions on nuclear technology. Technology may continue to develop, but it’s still up to us how we choose to use it.
"Saving storage space" has literally nothing to do with any of Wikipedia's policies. If you thought that's why articles got deleted, you don't understand the policy, and Chesterton's Fence controls.
I mean, I do understand the appeal of using strong crypto over using passwords. I also understand why one would roll this out on phones first (even though phones are obviously less secure than many other ways of doing this). At its core, a model of identity would be to create a keypair for each account and require that key sign each login request.

That said, I agree with everyone's fears and frustrations with the actual real world circumstances around phones. I do not trust my phone and I don't really trust the most popular projects to make phones more secure. I suppose you could keep a separate device whose only exposure to networks is to verify access over a limited protocol - but ofc due to the baseband and other requirements you would still be vulnerable. Very frustrating.
The code density of ARM64 is not that much worse than x64 - especially for anything generated by a modern compiler. You may get some small scale gains for hand tuned code with careful instruction and register selection (ie where Rex prefix can be more easily avoided) - but average binary density doesn’t overcome the aforementioned differences in efficiency.
All nullified when a single drone can take out tanks AND do most of the other things you listed. Tanks are just not the future of urban warfare.
Explaining proofs to computers is still a very different beast to explaining proofs to humans. Hopefully this gap will get narrower in the next 50 years or so.

Consider the following oversimplification.

Young people grow, old people stop growing. To keep the economy growing, you need to keep the population young i.e. maintain a fixed young to old ratio.

If the young to old ratio drops, then the economy won't grow and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. All you need is an economic model that doesn't depend on economic growth as a bandaid for social problems.

Curious: Where do you feel the SWE people they churn through generally end up?

I'm a bit concerned about this one guy on one of my previous teams who moved from Europe to US to work on AWS. I don't think he was aware of the company culture.
I think Redux is similar enough to Elm that it's not worth mentioning separately. Redux plays fast and loose with types whereas Elm uses types strictly; that's probably why Elm is mentioned more often in the context of Rust.

He does mention Redux in passing if you expand "Advanced topic: comparison with Elm"
> This is a common issue that a lot or even most people face as they get older. I think that a lot of us have been able to fill this gap by finding significant others and starting families. I wonder if the trend towards settling down at later ages and holding off on having a child - or forgoing it altogether - is also part of the issue.

I doubt this is all of it. It may have intensified recently, but the American obsession with the nuclear family predates the internet. Your wife and children should not be the entirety of your social circle. Likewise, your (man)children and other mothers should not be your mother's entire social circle if you are a child. Loneliness would be greatly reduced if more people were able to force their circumstances to be favorable to forming lifelong platonic friendships.

It’s not credible. I know people that work at this kind of company. None of the countermeasures have been successful and the germination rate is less than 1%.
it's probably cheaper/easier to send drones with lots of seeds over miles of land rather than workers with a few seeds
In general, it’s a bad idea to bring up an unrelated controversy as an example when you’re trying to argue for anything, because you’re going to lose a good chunk of your audience who might otherwise be open to your point of view.

We aren't talking about purchasing products anymore. We were talking about purchasing products at the store a minute ago.

"If I don't participate in this economy I'll be homeless, so I have to by Gillette mach 20 disposable plastic razor cartridges." Do what you can where you can. Can you stop buying disposable razor cartridges made of plastic and still not be homeless? Then do so.
Standardization builds industries and economies of scale. Having competing standards is great for technologists, but makes the current problem particularly painful: in job descriptions, employers now specify not just general technologies used but also particular frameworks, ci/cd tools, and on and on. So many tools that a person must be competent with using, that only a handful of people might know all of them on day one, which makes hiring much more expensive. You either pay over market rate for the perfect person, or hire someone decent and pay for them to learn the job. Ultimately, I think we’re in a better place than we were without modern tooling, but it makes it hard to hire…

There is no drone that carries the same level of explosiveness as a singular tank round.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U61Hrn1JZWQ

A tank can fire 40 of these at you in something like 5 minutes.

I'm not sure what kind of drone-platform exists to deliver 40x 50lb shells to the enemy 3000 meters at 500+ mph like a bunch of CE-rounds being fired from a tank-gun.

-------

Drones will change warfare. But drones are *NOT* a tank. They just don't have anything close to the destructive potential

You can't just "ignore" enemy concrete walls like a tank can. See this particular timestamp of the video: https://youtu.be/U61Hrn1JZWQ?t=67

Double-reinforced concrete walls / bunkers stand no chance against a typical tank round. What is a drone supposed to do against that?

-------

That above is a CE-round. Tanks can switch-it-up and shoot a SABOT round instead, if they need greater penetrating power (but less explosives): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnWCLJXwtsE

As you can see, the "tank" is a platform for a tank-commander to sit and think about which round to use for any given situation. The tank isn't "just" a sabot gun or a HE-gun, its *BOTH*, with an intelligent tank-commander choosing their loadout and firepower for every target they come across.

If the enemy is hiding behind 4 concrete walls, Sabot round to punch through all of it. If the enemy is just behind one concrete wall (but is very far away, like 3km or longer), HE round.

How many concrete walls can one drone get through? https://youtu.be/GnWCLJXwtsE?t=76
Just tried looking at it, and it's already deleted
I feel like many people don't use the term feudalism quite correctly... working for a powerful person describes many systems, not just feudalism. Manoralism is a key characteristic of feudalism, and is generally the consequence of failure of trade. Trade and strong "middle classes"/"cities" were the key to many less-feudal societies, from Rome to modern day.

I am also pretty sure ancient (pre-classical) world with its massive centralized
empires do not count as feudal, or otherwise the term becomes so broad as to be meaningless...
>We have a huge internal document of how RSS elements map to UI in every player

From another comment:

>The problem is that there are huge swaths of use cases that are not covered by the current rss standard.

Have you considered turning that document into a RFC to establish a standard?
> which have ALOT of downside for even the workers in them.

Do you have examples?

As someone in the UK I don't see anything different between the Amazon workers Union and the unions here except for age and experience.
They all just want to not be treated like dirt.
How much of that have you actually benchmarked, time wise ? I think it’s the point of the article, most of our “benchmarking” is actually marketing. To take an example I’ve been using a cast iron pan for years after having used Teflon all my life, cast iron doesn’t take any more time to use (initial seasoning vs. timely replacement, you can even factor that out)
You probably don't need to be told this, as it's pretty obvious, but just in case: you should curl your upper lip in to your mouth when you shave to make the skin taught and decrease the odds of nicks.

Also, before starting to shave you should wet your facial hair with hot/warm water for a few minutes to soften it up. I usually wet my face as soon as I get in to my shower and shave inside the shower a few minutes later.
My favorite example of this is when Apple renamed Mac OS X to "macOS", someone went around and retroactively renamed nearly every mention of "OS X" on Wikipedia to "macOS" even in situations where it makes absolutely no sense, as "macOS" did not exist during the topic/time period which the article references.
That's the exact reason I've been Twitter-free for five years.
Generally excrement is being vacuumed away (or in the past at least a nurse holds a cloth against the anus) for sanitary reasons.
As my sibling comments say, you can ask for it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:REFUND

Also it being deleted once doesn't mean it can't ever be made. May be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TOOSOON for it. Working on it in your draft space and maybe using the articles for creation process if you want more help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AFC
Many of the replies here are "but what if I lose my phone|my battery dies|my phone is destroyed?" and they are all valid concerns. The next logical improvement to this is an authN device that cannot be lost, forgotten, or easily destroyed. One that is even more secure than biometrics.
I try to use as much as possible long options in commands where they are available. They tend to be more descriptive and sometimes avoids to consult man pages unnecessarily.
Yeah, surprisingly quickly. I guess partly because they’re super magnetic?
Okular is my daily driver, I configured minimal vim keybindings and easy shortcuts for review tools which really enhanced my productivity. The configuration is also easily portable. Over the years, I build my own conventions for highlighting and reviewing.
It so happens that I have a great solution to this tough problem, which has served me well for years.

I have a password manager, protected by a strong, unique, randomly-generated master password that I took the time to commit to memory. I cannot ever loose this password, and as long as I have it, I can get into my vault. As long as I can get into my vault, I have access to my other passwords.

An increasing number of web services have decided this is insecure, and are forcing me to use secondary devices in order to authenticate myself. This does very little to increase my security, while putting me at risk of getting locked out of essential resources.

I'm all for alternate options, but please don't take this setup away from me!
Any relation to this other Deletionpedia? http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/
Nah you should definitely dive into DF, losing is fun.
Yeah, and if the self driving functionality doesn't work at all, it would be the manufacturers fault as well. The liability would work the same.

There were a lot of people that thought ELIZA was intelligent. There's some in-roads in finding specialized models that work very well, up until they don't, and when they fail, they fail hard, showing us just how different their processing can be from our own mental models.

My own personal definitions of intelligence cover some amount of self-reinforced learning. That is, if I tell an AI how to do something, it will think about how to do it, Google for the answer, watch and understand a YouTube tutorial, and try to follow along with it, and if it doesn't understand a part it has the ability to rewatch and try again.

I've never seen a jaguar in person; I've maybe seen 10 minutes total of videos and photos of one, and yet I can imagine one running through a field, chasing down a predator, and eating its corpse. Current AI need to be trained on gigabytes of data manually labeled "jaguar" to identify a single one. Why can't an AI, after seeing something it doesn't recognize, ask a question like "what is that"?

Just a few years ago, there was that Minecraft AI challenge that failed spectacularly -- the task was to watch 50 hours of video of someone else playing the game, and then do it themselves. I could probably do that after ten minutes.
It doesn’t work for trees. Grasses, yes.
The “notability” criterion on Wikipedia is remarkably slippery.

In theory, it is objective. There should be no real question about it. It is a synonym for something like “evidenceable,” “researchable,” or “verifiable.” Something is ‘notable’ according not to subjective perception but rather whether you can find third party sources to corroborate basic details. Notability is about the problem of, “You said this podcaster’s real name was X Quasimodo Mogadishu, the X is not short for anything, his literal first name is the letter X... That looks a lot like vandalism to me, is there a third party source that I can consult to confirm if this was vandalism or reality?” If such details are unverifiable, we filethe subject of the article as “not notable” and delete the page until that changes.

In practice, the word is so pliable that it is bent into whatever shape the moderators desire. I have heard “well, this guy is notable in the such-and-so community, just not on the world stage.” my response, “What?! What on earth does that have to do with me finding third party sources to confirm what facts I am seeing in this article? Like, are you saying that the third party sources are encoded in hopeless amounts of jargon such that it is no longer English?” met silence, because of course that's not the point, the point is that the admins can reinvent the definition of notability as they see fit.

Don't feel bad that you got burned. The basic problem is that Wikipedia is a democracy, and democratic governance requires politics, and you came into the situation as a political outsider. Of course it didn't go your way, it only goes your way if you are lucky.

"What's extremely special about this seed pod is that is carries over a gram of carbon [...] putting it back into the ground."

After that statement, all credibility is lost.
btw, Rebol solved the mixing of options and filenames by introducing a syntax for file references; u prefix them with a percent sign, eg.:

%/c/plug-in/video.r

%//sound/goldfinger.mp3

%"/c/program files/qualcomm/eudora mail/out.mbx"

%c:/docs/file.txt

%\some\cool\movie.mpg <= understood backslashes too, so it worked in DOS/Windows too!

%cool%20movie%20clip.mpg

Source: http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-12.html#section-2...

then you could mix them with `:get-words` and `set-words:`.
Rebol also had an interesting take on options - with and without arguments -; it called them refinements and you would just stack them with slashes onto the "command". the refinement arguments were added to the end of the parameter list though, so it was not exactly obvious which argument belonged to which refinement, but in practice it worked quite nice, surprisingly:

str: "test"

insert/dup/part str "this one" 4 5

print str

=> this this this this test

and reversing /dup and /part:

str: "test"

insert/part/dup str "this one" 4 5

print str

=> thisthisthisthisthistest

Doomscrolling to me is using my thumb to move the algorithmically delivered scary news around on the phone screen, slowly becoming more and more anxious as the result.
Seems weird to just fire a bunch of managers instead of working on fixing the problem with them.
I don’t enjoy a sense of self-imposed martyrdom, so the switch isn’t worth it to me.

Some people do, and they’re welcome to spend their own time, energy, and money pursuing that feeling.
Besides the obvious (pay a doctor to do real diagnostic tests), how can you differentiate between depression causing the inability to do work and ADD dragging you straight to Reddit?
Fair enough. We need to do something about this. We are fully on the same page.

That does not mean we need to be fewer. Just like the US could reduce its coal consumption by a factor of 2 (and more will come), the rest of the world can do that too. The technology is here. Everywhere you read, they say it's more economical to build a new solar power plant than to operate an existing coal plant. That may be an exaggeration, but solar is getting very competitive. Coal is on its way out.
It immerses you into the world of amoral high level accountants of large cooperations.
They seem to have changed that recently, though it's not obvious from the pricing table. Under /eula it says:

"You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it for revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people."

Not sure how to read that if you are, let's say, a freelancer. My guess is you are a one-man "company" and the other company is your customer?
Afaik the "doom" as in bad news has "always" (i.e. past 3-4 years, the term isn't very old) been part of the definition.
What items do I have to buy? This is a serious question.

I'm going online right now, telling people how I live, maybe 10 see it and say "he's right, I have to live by what I claim to believe" and make an effort to change what they do. Maybe 10000 do, maybe none. But I did this because I wanted to.

I don't care what companies do, if they don't have what I want they don't get my money. It's really that simple. We talk about marketing and propaganda, how much marketing has gone into muddying the water and poisoning the discussion just to get people to forget this one fact? If everyone just lived by their own stated rules they wouldn't be able to get away with any of this. They get away with it because we let them get away with it, by making excuses for ourselves. They want you to make these excuses you're making, convince yourself why you need their junk, convince yourself that it is insurmountable because you can control only your own behavior. You're demoralized into wanting "the collective" to change your life for you. You focus on your peers instead of yourself, and this is precisely how they can get away with what they do, because of the choices you make, because of your focus on things out of your control.

My goal isn't to save the world, my only goal is to be honest with myself and live the way I want to. And that's all it takes, everything else is excuses.
OpenBSD, which is a fork of NetBSD, is not the only "outlier".^1

For many years, NetBSD tar has autodetected bzip2 compression.

tar xzf 1.tar.bz2

will work on gzip as well as bzip2. Whereas GNU tar still requires "j" instead^2

tar xjf 1.tar.bz2

1. For example, FreeBSD or MacOS tar is BSD tar. It will autodetect bzip2 compression.

2. The GNU tar included with VoidLinux still requires z or j.

The pax(1) utility is the POSIX solution to these incompatibilities.
Same here; I suspect they've mixed up defining the component (where some examples do use innerHTML) and using the component (which don't).
I don't mean that immigrants don't contribute. I meant to show that differences in immigration policy between Japan and (for example) Germany do not appear to greatly affect GDP statistics.
It's still very clear that it's not a native Mac application. All the classic Electron issues are present:

- Close the main window and try to figure out how to get it to reopen. This is probably the reason Cmd-W doesn't actually close the window (unlike every other app).

- macOS menubars are still just empty defaults. All functionality is exposed in custom in-app menus, rendering it all undiscoverable through the Cmd-? search.

- Wonky context menus that don't follow macOS standards. E.g. right click on a note and type the first letter of the action you want. Result: nothing.

- Weird, cross-platform verbiage litters the app. E.g. "open in system explorer" instead of "open in Finder"; some hotkey tooltips say "Ctrl/Cmd," while others use the Cmd symbol "⌘"

- Horrendous focus styling and keyboard support – they've cast out all the good native functionality here. Try Tab-bing around the app and attempt to figure out what's focused. This is so much worse than most Electron apps, as Chromium's a11y is typically a big cachet.

Gosh, I could keep going. It's a terrific app, and this is all fixable, but boy does Obsidian wear those Electron origins on it's sleeves today.
Deletion from Wikipedia doesn't mean you don't exist or aren't "a legitimate bank". It means you're not a good subject for the encyclopedia. There are tiny banks all over Chicagoland that don't have Wikipedia pages, and shouldn't.

As for 3Pac, he's mentioned in various music magazines for dying. I might have made the opposite call if I'd been AfD'ing when this was deleted, and I preemptively agree that Wikipedia's policies are tuned for a ~2000s conception of what reliable sources establishing notability are --- 2018 Wikipedia was probably overly skeptical of Youtube fame. But the decision here isn't arbitrary.

Again, you have to understand the policies before you can reasonably critique them. You don't have to agree with their rationales, but you do have to demonstrate that you know what they are, or at least not betray that you don't.
At four or five orders of magnitude more than what a fleet of drones can manage.
XDebug is good for debugging code in development environments. Not for profiling in production.
And with all the media stories about alien life with laughable grainy footage of people walking in stilts and anal probes, what signal would you use to be able to determine what the "truth" is on alien contact? Would it be "your gut feeling"?

There's literally so much mainstream disinformation in the UFO space that there is zero chance that someone casually be able to figure out what's fact from fiction. The noise is so high that the signal is effectively buried.

So I disagree with your assessment that the truth would be viral. Most of the human population has already been inoculated to a viral UFO truth narrative.
If Google can't use it's vast array of user data to tell the difference between SEO bots and non-bot users, what's even the point of it collecting all that fucking data in the first place?
Ha, so they still do it, that is how I paid rent for a few months back in 2012.
You are confusing apparent wealth of a plantation with efficiency - all the people that are forced to work there could have been doctors, blacksmiths, etc. and contributing much more to the economy.

Just because they are exploited profitably, does not mean thats their best contribution to the economy. Its just that their more efficiebt aopkication camkot be easilly privatised
