I came here saying that I would never again use software for a peripheral (keyboard, mouse) to control color, etc.. that must be kept running to maintain settings. I'm looking at you Razor Mouse. It's one thing to have custom software to set settings but the idea that the peripheral can't maintain those settings unless the software is kept running is ridiculous to me.
My GMMK keyboard, for instance, it's a bit awkward but you don't need custom software to control color or custom functions, you can switch most of those using the keyboard itself or run software, set your settings, then exit the software and maintain your settings.

Look Around is available on 20% of earth (area, not population) - most extreme example I can find is the middle of Australia: https://i.imgur.com/ZHYbh58.png

In the US, it's actually more limited than in other areas. It's certainly true that Google is ahead, sure - but Look Around isn't just 5th avenue of new york city.

One area lookaround does best is spatial navigation. You can click on bridges, lanes, etc. to jump to them and the animation is MUCH smoother than Google Maps.
I meant it more in terms of bad figure placement. LaTeX tries to place the figure relatively close to the source, it has a sane fallback policy, like grouping them together at the end of the section.

With word one can get from a decently formatted text to multiple quarter-filled pages with a single additional sentence, because it has comparatively bad algorithm for text-block reflow.
I still have the original small KeyChron, it’s been a beast. Had it for years now. I abuse it mightily and it won’t quit.

I also think being shown what is popular to the majority is another part of the stimulation a feed can bring. Even if you feel the content is poor quality, you now know what content is popular and that is useful.
Basic LaTeX is easy; ramping up has a significant learning curve, but once that mount has been scaled, things level off quickly. Doing tables in straight LaTeX is miserable — CTAN, however, is filled with fantastic packages that make them easy. XeLaTeX makes inserting images pretty easy without packages. I will say that what may cause difficulty with images for people new to LaTeX are floats — tables, images, and the like may move page to page depending on how the document flows; if you're used to anchoring an image on a particular page in a WP, that may put one's mind a bit out of joint until it makes sense.

I'm not claiming there's a cover-up. And I'm not claiming that this fact isn't known by some people.

What I'm claiming is that the general public, including people who use DDG as their default search engine, are generally unaware of this relationship. And also that DDG doesn't go out of its way to highlight this relationship, even though they do acknowledge it in relatively obscure places.
Dillo is one thing I remember using.

Yes, that's the main use case. I rearrange my desk depending on what I do, and going wireless makes that process much easier. Connecting a computer to my living room TV is also much easier, as I can easily use it from the couch.
I see this sort of argument for low level, system languages all the time. What you're not considering is that runtime isn't the constraint that we're hitting anymore, it's developer time. There's no doubt that a good python dev is much more productive than a good c dev, both in terms of raw output, and in terms of writing code with fewer bugs. 'Software is eating the world' is overused, but broadly true, and the reason we devs are so well paid is because the demand so vastly outstrips the supply of productive devs.
Zzzz. If any tenured professor at a modern American university actually expects his employer to play the Heroic Meat Shield part, when said professor throws rocks at the culture wars hornet nest the way that Prof. Katz did, then he needs to be checked for silent strokes and early-onset senility. Believing that tenure gives him some sort of magical Amulet of Free Speech is right up there with believing that Santa Claus brings toys to all the nice little girls and boys.

Does "use-it-till-it-dies" mean if a single switch goes bad you'll just buy a whole new keyboard? If so, I recommend not spending so much on a mechanical as the ability to swap individual switches is one of the main things you're paying for.
Are you sure the issue is static electricity? Despite being essentially some of the best mice on the market, the switches they use are a bit sub-standard. Over time, they tend to develop double-click issues. (Where a single click registers as two)

I had a G305 that did this, and given the low price of the mouse I gave up going through the work to desolder and replace the switches.
Yeah but it's not a migration. E.g. you don't get access to your data in many (most?) cases, often thanks to security consultants like myself who see their scanning tool warn that backups are enabled for an app and put a recommendation in the report to not let users access their own data. (FTR I've never done that, but had colleagues that I had to argue with...)

Just yesterday in an OpenStreetMap chat, I had to disappoint a user who wanted to access a locally stored recording in some app. They didn't have root and so they couldn't access it from outside the app.

Backups aka accessing your own data is one of the biggest problems I have as an android user, with as only solution rooting the device and treating it like a normal desktop OS where you also have root, except various apps start to complain when you do so. Apple really has the nicer solution here via the iTunes software.
What if we start count from the year 2k?
Same here. As a result, the vast majority of my programming effort goes into my day job, and my OSS projects are critically understaffed.

Which works okay for me and my projects, but if I wanted them to be serious players in the market rather than just side projects, I would need to find a way to earn money in a way which doesn't eat most of my time.

Personally, I want FOSS software to be able to be serious players in the market. Therefore, I want them to have enough developer resources to make that possible. Therefore, they need to make money.
Quite a few of those hours were wasted and contributed to Nokia's demise. They should have switched away from Symbian waaay sooner. I think clinging to it is a classic case of the sunken cost fallacy. By ~2005-2006 it was obvious, at least for some of us, developers, that continuing to invest in Symbian is a huge mistake.

By then, Nokia had been working on a Linux based OS for years. (That would become Meego.) But, if I'm not mistaken, at least a thousand people were working on Symbian and Symbian based products. So switching away from it was simply out of question. It would have been too bold a move. (Especially, since Nokia was dominating the market and these products brought in a very nice profit.)
In the meta it's listed as the author name. A good way to illustrate the consequences of "curating" searches is to search for its meta description but exclude the term RT (which presumably overrides the "curation") : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+first+Russian+24%2F7+English-l...

You get lots of spammy stuff (top link is a site offering to sell a translation of RT), site-ranking sites (that rank RT), some rando lady quoting RT's meta description on Twitter (!!!), and even RT's pages on Twitter, Linkedin. And then it's finally there, just before getting into really high quality results like a page on rotten tomatoes ranking the 200 Best LGBTQ+ Movies of All Time.

"Curating" results is a great way to completely break your own search engine.

I would almost never join a Discord/Slack to ask some specific question; I always ask people I already know. The level of effort is pretty high! Join, learn rules, figure out where and how to ask a question, then sit there and monitor things synchronously so people don't ignore you/forget you.

Yup! Haskell borrows heavily from category theory, and there's a lot of value in knowing the stuff, but people have also been productive in SQL for decades without any formal knowledge of relational algebra.

Yes, I bought a brand called Vanttech [1] for my Dyson V6. Not only has it worked perfectly, but the new battery pack also lasts longer than the official Dyson one. Much cheaper, too, of course.

> a windows port of the GNU toolchain, so it would only work on windows. But even on windows it had a lot of warts (because these tools were build for unix in the first place, so e.g. drive letters and back slashes were problematic).

About a decade ago I worked on a project for a South Korean cellphone vendor whose name I'll not cite for somewhat obvious reasons. The build system was similar to what you describe: a poor port of unix tools for windows that required windows xp which was already obsolete in 2011. I asked why don't we use linux since the build was probably more adequate for that environment. The answer was something like "because they spent a lot of money and time to make this port so we can use windows." Korea was mostly a windows-only country at the time. They had to change because of android, but for them it seemed already too little too late.
As an aside would it take a lot more code if this was made with Phaser?

> Unless you mean they convert dollars... in which case they were just using the dollars already.

It's actually pretty hard to spend dollars when you represent a sanctioned entity. A DPRK official may have a suitcase full of USD, but no western bank will accept their deposit or accept a transfer from a bank or account associated with the North Korean regime. But if they can find someone who will take their USD in exchange for no-questions-asked crypto, then they get to evade sanctions (at least for a little while).

AWS will follow customer demand, when it comes to funding stuff like this. If there's enough customers unable to do what they want to do on Graviton, especially bigger ones like Netflix, they'd likely fund the work.

Same would likely be true if they had evidence lots of customers used FreeBSD on their platform anyway. They wouldn't release architecture that couldn't run Linux, for example.

> they seem to have more than enough cash if they're making their own CPUs.

That's actually a cost saving exercise for AWS. The OpEx cost of a rack is a very large part of the cost of running cloud services. CapEx, staffing etc. makes up only a tiny fraction of it. The Graviton Arm chips are cheaper to run by quite a bit than Intel or AMD chips of comparable performance. Any expense spent in designing and producing their own chips is easily and quickly paid for by the OpEx savings.
FWIW, DaggerfallUnity has a (poorly documented) feature to swap in much smaller dungeons.

The two most common ways are research into the ownership of the news outlet, and by provenance tracking stories from known Russian-owned sites to other outlets. That's combined with old-fashioned journalism, where people attempt to verify suspected propaganda stories by finding corroborating evidence. (Sometimes the Russian sites run true stories, after all.)

This approach tends to produce some false positives, as there are news sites that don't fact check stuff before repeating it, and they end up being indistinguishable from state-sponsored propaganda to outside observers. I'm not sure how much it matters in practice if sites that routinely publish incorrect stories accidentally get misclassified.

1. Never heard any rant about it outside tech circles.

2. I've given DDG many chances when Google failed to return satisfactory results. In those many cases DDG results were just about the same or even less relevant. Google changing the query? Well DDG either also changes it or returns irrelevant results not containing the query anyway.

The single advantage of DDG I've noticed is that it doesn't CAPTCHA me on a VPN connection.

Relatively, yes. But it sounds like you aren't at all familiar with how self-serving and hypocritical a normal American university is.
And then once you take the (probably trivial) step where the computers come up with the ideas for the images, these images won't be interesting anymore because we know a human didn't even make it.

I don't really have any problem believing that the university fired him for this rather than for some dumb thing he said.
This is a pretty insane conspiracy theory considering people happily give Google their CC (Google pay), emails (Gmail), physical address (maps), password (chrome), wifi info (android).

It was just a mistake in a setting. They were accidentally capturing random packets, and of course you collect enough random packets and they will contain every conceivable type of data. It wasn't used for anything. It's not a conspiracy. They did street view to do street view, which is why they kept doing it for 12 years (and counting) after the packet collection was fixed.
They used GPT-3 and DALL·E 2. For the latter, there's a waitlist on OpenAIs website. For GPT-3 they have an API available to developers and there are various apps which use it like ShortlyAI.

This feels like a weird assertion, especially when immediately followed by an example where such manual specialization happens
I agree with what you say and I would add that humans benefit from embodiment. AIs can't experiment like us; we discovered sciences by investigating our complex environment, they have MuJoCo and ATARI. We're also a whole society, AIs are usually individuals in isolation. We benefit from evolution, not just from learning while AIs don't have dicks. It takes a whole branch of industry to make the chips they run on.

That doesn't mean AIs can't have robotic bodies or access complex simulations, they could also have a society or be integrated in ours, and evolutionary techniques could be part of that process. For example AlphaGo got a good enough environment and evolutionary selection of agents, and it topped human abilities very fast. It's only a matter of time until they can have all our advantages.

> Rust can't do anything without people fearing it's will inevitably end up like C++, or even just look at shallow syntactic similarities and conclude it's already just as bad

Frankly, that's an incredibly naive take. IME engineers that are confident to try out and work in multiple languages don't get scared off by syntax, rather the semantics. The issue with Rust in this regard to many experienced C/C++ developers is that the compiler forbids programs that are valid in C or C++ (for good reason, don't get me wrong), generic programming is highly encouraged and difficult to avoid, "unsafe" code is required yet significantly more difficult to write correctly than equivalent C and C++, and frankly, lifetimes are obnoxious.

I say this as a massive Rust fan and shill. I don't think the syntax is that bad, it's certainly a lot, but I prefer it to something like Idris or Haskell that has a similarly expressive type system with noise-less syntax (that is significantly harder to read/understand compared to Rust).

> C++'s featuritis and exponential complexity is unique to it

Java is similar here, things like Project Loom for example are important but shift the paradigm for concurrency signficantly.

To be totally honest, I dismiss almost all arguments towards languages based on syntax (I think there are some to be made, don't get me wrong). It usually comes from a very naive or inexperienced place. Syntax is important, but so is correctness and non-ambiguity.

Why is this limited to the preprocessor? I imagine the compiler proper could inline the compare function parameter into the qsort implementation body in the typical case, at the qsort() call site. (Assuming qsort's implementation was in a header, as the original comment posited).
Generics or otherwise, I just want type info to flow into and out of things like 'map' or 'SpecialContainer<T>', and for my editor to surface that information.
It's quite a tired engine at this stage but Bethesda have actually been rather tech forward in the past. Especially with MS acquisition, some kind of procedural cloud-assisted world would make a ton of sense.

However, towns with 300 houses with different variations of the same vendors and assets would not be immersive to most modern players. You definitely need a little on the authored side. Heck, I think Bethesda copy/pastes too much now compared to something like New Vegas which has barely has any repetition.

If the compare function is inlined into the qsort() body, there wouldn't need to be any function call. I think that was the point of the question above.
