It appears you haven't heard of Snowden and many of his disclosures. Agencies have been using it and warrantless surveillance to violate privacy and rights at will, then use illegally or questionable gotten evidence to do parallel construction in further violation of rights.

The continual erosion of rights sets the stage for authoritarianism. America was arguably not too far way from a coup attempt, Jan 6th. One of the next series of attempts can be successful. It would be smart for people to read up on how Putin came to power. Systems and histories are of course different, but there can be some parallels, in terms of subverting an existing system to one's own ends. Of course some people will think such is not possible, until it happens or nearly happens.

When these control mechanisms are put together, like using "AI" (and who controls and updates it?) to continually scan all e-mails and messaging for added vague concepts such as "grooming" and whatever added on top, you are achieving a police state. The state, now that it has slipped in greater and more powerful mechanisms of mass surveillance and control (Precrime), can arbitrary decide what is a "violation" or not.

Citizens of "free" countries can eventually be put under just as tight control, as the citizens of China, Russia, etc... Anything and everything can be labelled a threat to the state (or for your safety), to the people, to women, to children, etc... Do what the police state dictates, and they will be watching for compliance, or else. If you say anything against the state, you can find yourself charged with a "crime" or whisked away. A lot of people don't want to live like that, but then a lot of people will blindly walk off a cliff too.
> In short: yes, it's a good thing. As written, the amendment is designed to prevent me from being arrested or killed by the Federal Government for speaking my mind, disseminating my thoughts on paper, or congregating with like-minded people.

You didn't say why. You restated the law. There are all kinds of arguments for free speech. I'll quote Mill:

> First, if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility. Secondly, though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied. Thirdly, even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of its rational grounds. And not only this, but, fourthly, the meaning of the doctrine itself will be in danger of being lost, or enfeebled, and deprived of its vital effect on the character and conduct: the dogma becoming a mere formal profession, inefficacious for good, but cumbering the ground, and preventing the growth of any real and heartfelt conviction, from reason or personal experience.

That has nothing to do with required and there's no mention of a government, federal or not. People should be allowed to say what they think. That used to be a bedrock of American culture and I continue to find it sad that we're living through its recession.
At least music sheets have a clear structure, I don't see any in the examples like the one I linked to. Of course it could be that the examples I've seen just happen to be written like IOCCC entries.

What is a "bunny suit" in this context? The web results make me wonder if there was miscommunication about hiring plumbers for a "very dirty job" if you know what I mean.
Ah, thank you. That paper makes a lot more sense to me, describing a clear problem. For others:

The principal question underlying this work is: how much effort does it take to understand a PL paper?

and

Papers about programming languages involve complex notations, systems, and proofs. Static PDFs offer little support in understanding such concepts. I describe Nota, a framework for academic papers that uses the browser's interactive capabilities to support comprehension in context. Nota uses hover effects, tooltips, expandable sections, toggleable explanations, and other interactions to help readers understand a language's syntax and semantics.
You really can’t stretch a window across multiple monitors in MacOS? Wow.
I do still think you'd find those after some time, it would just be that the duds would already be weeded out for you. There aren't too many shows that gain a wide following only after their first or successive seasons, most either pick up a reasonable audience from the get-go, or they flop. People later discovering shows others found earlier will always be a thing.
My issue is that waking my laptop from sleep with a second monitor plugged in and Safari open with ~100 tabs causes several minutes of pegged CPU usage before the computer becomes usable again.

MacOS seems full of these hidden gotcha algorithms where O[n] behavior transitions to O[e^n] behavior when n exceeds some threshold. The Finder is the worst offender but perhaps the window manager too when multiple monitors are involved.
https://newsroom.uw.edu/news/glasses-stop-myopia-are-success...

Their big breakthrough in understanding myopia occurred in 2008 when they studied a particular group of people who had a genetic form of myopia that’s very severe. They discovered a gene mutation that was causing the myopia.

“It turns out it was a mutation in the cone photoreceptors,” said Jay Neitz. “We then realized that it’s really just the way that the images are being encoded on the retina.”

What’s supposed to happen as your eye grows, is that things should begin to go out of focus in the periphery of your vision. That’s a signal for the eyes to stop growing.

But as long as things are still clear in the periphery, the eyes think this person must still be farsighted, because in the natural world things in the periphery are far away.

Neitz said his team was able to design a lens to make central vision clear and in focus, and give the peripheal vision much lower contrast.

“It recreates what is supposed to be going on with our eyes before we started putting all of these things in front of our face like computer screens and tablets,” he said.
We are talking about it because Republicans are using it as a slur in political arguments. There is strong pushback against DeSantis' Don't Say Gay Bil, there has been a mass banning of LGBTQ books in schools, and plenty of other attacks/laws on the community (mostly in just a couple states whose Govs are running for Pres...)

The response of the proponents, which sadly seems politically effective, is to label anyone who objects to these laws groomers.

Implying/whistling that queer people exist because they were groomed, e.g. sexual predator turned them gay.

It is aimed at queer people.

* And ironically those of us who are standing up against, you guessed it.... free speech. *
The language looks pretty neat, has anyone had any experience with using it in their personal projects or work setting?
An estimate from an abortion advocacy organization about what happens if Roe is overturned means about as much as saying that america will become socialist if Biden is elected. If a state hasn’t been able to pass a trigger law yet—when they can do so just to virtue signal without actually having any consequences on abortion access—then it’s certainly not going to be able to do it after Roe is overruled when real chips are on the table.

Netflix is the symptom of a greater problem in tech: "agile" and "ads" culture scaled and gone wrong.

1. Agile might work to test demand for software products, but when applied everywhere else it fails miserably. Just look at the horrible products released (and quickly terminated) using this method in the last 10 years. Except for Apple, the rest of the industry follows the experimentation dogma religiously, forcing producers to chase profits without regard for craft. Netflix's used this method to turn movie production into attention maximizing algorithms.

2. Tech (fueled by the ad industry) has penetrated Hollywood and injected propaganda (ex: woke) into every production. Entertainment has essentially been turned into adverts, where experimentation on greater ROI lead to the deterioration of quality. Think of content disguised as ads - Netflix has turned into another Google search experience.

The brainwashing machine is starting to crumble.

I hope you have taken some time to understand K's philosophy and goals before making this comment. A tutorial exists here: https://github.com/razetime/ngn-k-tutorial if you'd like to understand why this solution is good.
It does in the context we are talking about it.

The only reason it's up for discussion is because it's being used as hate attack against queer communities and those standing up against censoring of teachers, students, and banning of books on lgbtq topics and gender.
I've seen the claim that the correlation between increasing paternal age and the incidence of various congenital disorders has exactly this etiology.

I haven't been able to find a paper describing a mechanism, but my literature review tends to specialize in hymenopterological ethology, so I don't know that I would find such a paper even if it exists. The correlation is uncontroversial, though, and I suppose it might not be a surprise to see it demonstrated that the cause is in fact the accumulation of errors in the genome that's half-duplicated during spermatogenesis.
The latest good and bad news about Covid-19 drugs
For your workflow usually unassigned, to groom, in progress, review, done would be separate columns and the priority would be mapped to the order of the cards in the column.

In order of work assignment, traditional kanban is that when a person completes a task they then take the top card and work on that.
> Genetic analysis and several unusual characteristics of the 1977 Russian flu have prompted many researchers to speculate that the virus was released to the public through a laboratory accident or resulted from a live-vaccine trial escape.

Speculate. Covid shows how easy it is to do just that even if you have current knowledge.

It's not impossible that origin is other than zoonotic however it's very unlikely because that exactly how (nearly?) all viruses came to us.
While off-topic, somehow Apple has screwed this up in the M1 MacBook Air built-in audio hardware too. I wanted some monitoring while playing acoustic the other day so I opened logic and rather than connect my expensive audio interface, I just wanted to use the built-in mic and headphone output to monitor myself playing and singing in real time. For some reason there was still an audible delay even though I wasn’t using plugins and had the buffer set very low. I’m pretty sure it was in low latency mode… you shouldn’t have to use an external audio interface just to do real time monitoring like that such a simple use case.
Is this on a Mac with an M1 chip?
Regulation or lack of it doesn't fundamentally change contract law. So, it's not the same thing. People who say financial markets shouldn't be regulated are not saying you shouldn't be able to litigate.
Many countries in Asia are like this. You are very unlikely to get PR, let alone citizenship, unless you are born there to a citizen parent. e.g. China, most of southeast Asia. Sometimes there is even an ethnicity requirement.
I think it's less than you think in terms of the overall customer base. Most people are happy with the Bose noise cancelling headphones, or AirPods, or Sennheiser earbuds/headphones. Just look at the highest selling headphones.

I don't think they "finally realised" Apple has always had internal storage. Samsung Android devices have been on both sides of the coin and have backflipped before.

The problem with SD cards, IMO from having worked at a Telco, is that the OS and SD card for the devices doesn't integrate seamlessly for the average end user. What people want is to be able to add an SD card to their device and have a uplift in storage across the entire device. I can't count the amount of times a customer would come in asking why their devices storage didn't increase when they added an SD card, not knowing that they needed to configure the device to take advantage of it or copy their photos across too it. I'm sure times might have changed but that's how it was 5 years ago.

The average and I would say the majority, don't want to deal with buying more storage, they just want the right amount of storage from the get go and smartphone companies know this. I would prefer to buy a 128GB phone than a 32GB phone and have to add an additional 128GB SD card anyway. Also, if you have 512GB of storage filled on a mobile device, surely you have that backed up no? So why not just stream it from the cloud.
Never heard of it till now. Interesting, reminded me of my mom's HP-15C calculator I played with as a kid.
> I'm familiar with docker but certainly not an expert, so this is surprising to me. Is it really possible to have a single line dockerfile?

Not single line, but two lines, sure. Though you're at the mercy of your upstream image and how it configures things. Though I guess that's also true of buildpacks.

Plenty of my Dockerfiles are no more than a couple lines.

Heroku was still nicer in most ways of course, at least in my opinion.

US apartment buildings are designed to maximize profits (rentable floorspace) and therefore contain no communal spaces, no seating. There are no stairs except dark cramped fire escapes. Some elevators are configured to prevent people from meeting. Many modern buildings are also too big to know most of your neighbors and feel part of a community.

Additionally, large leasing companies set rents to maximize profits, at the cost of turnover. It's hard to feel part of a community when people are constantly leaving and new people arriving. Residents can't feel like they belong when they expect to be priced out and forced to move in a year or two.

Capitalism produces efficient allocation of capital, but not maximum citizen quality of life.

This is cool to see, especially because I've been thinking about life on the Moon quite a bit this week (aka reading the Wikipedia article about the 2019 Beresheet lunar lander crash with those sturdy little tardigrades onboard). One article led to another, as they do, and I ended up writing a weird short story about life on the Moon a few days ago:

> make the city centres safe, clean, friendly places

Agreed. Exactly as most of the rest of the world has done. In the developing world (India, China) and the old west (Europe), cities are the place to be. They are safe, easy to get around and much much more happening.

> without having to dodge heroin needles or human excrement or have abuse hurled it us or be assaulted

This is such a west coast experience. I have seen this in SF/Seattle, but Boston/NYC's homeless have seemed pretty innocuous. It is local politics problem. Cities around the world don't have these issues either.

Cities continue to be expected to be havens for every kind of person, while suburbs create their own walled gardens. But if a city every proposes suburb style discriminatory policy, it will immediately be viewed as 'racist'. (Usually Racism of this form is just people looking out for their own socio-economic interests. I won't always call it hatred driven Racism. But, the standard west-coast suburbanite surely would) Because it is, and suburbs have been able to get away with massive unsustainable, economically draining and exclusionary policies for half a century.

Where did you live ? I have spent my entire life in high-density cities and have never come close to anything like this.
Lupin isn’t that good of a show. I think Netflix has the best shows of any media company year to year. They have so many. So Lupin is great, but Netflix has other high quality stuff too to make it not as impressive.

Atlanta because you’re from there? You wouldn’t watch it otherwise? I think it might be the best 30 min non sitcom ever.

Fwiw, I'm very pro crypto and I enjoyed the article.
Yes, in fact. I returned the next day during daylight hours and saw the owlets in a tree near where I had been standing.

The owl actually attacked me twice. The first time was a complete surprise and I thought it was a person trying to pull on my hood, but I spun around and looked all over and couldn't see anything at all. So I decided to turn around and leave, and about 20 feet away it tried again and this time landed on a nearby tree branch at around eye level and just watched me. I backed away while staring at it and then quickly exited the area.
Hey! Cool project. Why would I use this instead of python/javascript/rust/etc? Can you give some examples where Tokay shines compared to these languages?

It'd be great to add those examples to the homepage! I had to dig a few levels deep to see what the language looked like. Clicking "Getting started" then scrolling all the way to the bottom seems like a lot of work to answer the question of "why should I care about this?".
"Way more efficient" as a conceptual and implementation model.

But synchronous logic always leaves some speed on the table, since you have to choose the global clock rate for the longest data path that must complete in one clock; for any given path that may be active on a clock, it's likely to not be the longest.

In practice it's possible to architect synchronous critical paths with pipelining to keep the worst single-clock data path reasonable, basically spread the work over multiple clock periods so you can select a faster clock rate and so reduce the wasted time on average to the point nobody cares.

OP sounds like he stands zero chance of implementing any nontrivial async design if he's talking about 'flowchart' rtl generation in the same breath.
I already read articles like that over last two years. They started popping up pretty much immediately. And their content didn't change over time. Still just hearsay and tugging on heart's strings.

The problem I have with lab leak idea is not so much that it's not proven, but that it's not falsifiable. You can't prove it's wrong because someone can always tell "maybe they covered it better than we thought!".
Worth pointing out Saudi Aramco is up around +25% in the past 3-4 months. Oil surges past declining tech.
One thing to keep in mind is that Portugal allows dual citizenship while Spain does not. Greek is much harder to learn than Portuguese. Many folks would spend 5 years, get the EU passport, and then have the option to move in the EU.

I'm pretty sure that there's nothing preventing other apps on your desktop from listening to keystrokes that are supposed to go into Firefox, unfortunately. This is a fundamental problem with the X11 protocol and as far as I know the only real solution is to switch to Wayland.
I've used the TP-Link AV2000's for a few years, they're OK for me, sure I'd rather have proper hard wired ethernet, but I also prefer not punching holes in walls/ceilings all over my house. It's ridiculous they get marketed as 2000Mbit though, best I've ever got is close to 200Mbit and I'm in a fairly ideal set up for it. Also, never mix lower adapters like 500's, as this seems to cap the whole network at the lowest common denominator, even when they're not in use.
As Žižek teaches us: "History happens first as tragedy, then as farce".

After the DotCom crash -- never mind the evaporating stock options; a lot of people got hit hard by the layoffs, and base salaries weren't nearly as above-median as they are now. And when they got thrown out on the street, a lot of people were out of work for a long time, and some dropped out of the industry altogether (at least for a year or two).

Also, even if they didn't necessarily believe they were on a "rocket ship" (that term didn't actually come into much later), the general belief at the time was that tech was "fun" and "cool" and somehow ... different from the regular corporate grind.

So when the inevitable correction came -- it was a genuinely bruising experience, both financially and psychologically for a lot of people.

As for whatever corrections is coming our way for the current boom ... I think the difference now is that people are a lot more skeptical and detached -- both from the knowledge of what happened after the last boom, and from just being fatigued with tech in general. So I get these sense that people are (1) more or less expecting a correction to happen, and (2) are thinking "Whatever, F-it, I was just in it for the unreasonably fat paycheck (earned while sitting around in my underwear most of the day) anyway".

Except all the people who went long on crypto (long after they missed the party, and everyone else got rich). For them it's their first honeymoon, and some of them are going to be seriously upset and confused when they don't get their life savings back. "But Matt Damon said ..."

That's my hunch anyway. But what do I know.
