right but that wasn't what AOL was trying to build; it's what happened in spite of their efforts, not because of them. Notice the prominent "channels" and "what's hot" buttons in the second screen shot? They're given a higher position in the ui hierarchy than "internet" for a reason. They were trying to create an experience where all of the content came from AOL itself. "Channels" were their content pipelines, they were hypermedia but everything within the content network of channels was created by AOL itself. It would be like someone hearing about the web and thinking that the way to "win" the web would be to "own all of the web pages".

For whatever reason, Cruise continues to advance and get very little buzz. I’m curious what it will take to get them discussed even half as much as Tesla (which is much farther behind) when it comes to automation.
I would actually expect the opposite. If the drug is approved then the price would go up several times.
This reminds me of Frets on Fire, a one-man free, open-source videogame built with Python. I used to play hours on this, handling my keyboard like a guitar.

Why is at always the mothers who choose to be stay-at-home mothers, and very rarely fathers? In my opinion this makes things extra hard for mothers who want to resume their career, because men are used to working with men who don't take breaks from their career to raise their children.

Taking time off to raise your children is a personal choice, but it doesn't make any sense that it's almost never the fathers who stay at home.

The mother from the article writes: being a stay-at-home mum came at the cost of my career.

But why doesn't the father write: not staying home for my children came at the cost of their mother's career.

Children have fathers and mothers. Both fathers and mothers should carry this responsibility equally. It's not impossible. As long as raising a child is seen as a responsibility of the mother and less of the father, mothers will always face more difficulties in their career.

Disclaimer: ofcourse there are exceptions where there is only one parent who is availabile to carry the responsibility, but in general when the mother stays at home it's not due to external circumstances, but rather a personal preference.
It’ll be interesting to see how it fares in 2030. The ground around the tubes is heating up, slowly and steadily from something like 14 degrees centigrade when the tube systems was built, to over 20 degrees now.

Opus Magnum is the Zachtronics game that resonated most with me. It's visual, like SpaceChem, but I also like the setting and find the solutions to be very satisfying.
At my alma mater we, the students, used to organize a one week "Introduction To Programming" course based on Robocode. It was meant to teach freshmen the very basics of Java before they'd have their first classes.

They'd have four days to come up with strategies and develop their robots and on Friday there was a tournament between all the developed robots. The best teams got a non-trivial prize (and bragging rights).

It was really interesting to see which strategies the students came up with and how they changed from year to year. The amount of material provided really made a much larger difference than one might expect.

Among the interesting challenges of Robocode is that the bullets you shoot are so slow that your opponent has ample time to dodge, so you need to predict their movement. On the other hand you can't see where your opponent is shooting so you need to guess and move elsewhere. It's really quite fun.

I think this is a very good thing.

I feel pain with docker for some reason and always seem to have to delete some state though.

Maybe my workflow is wrong.

With Nix though, its so convenient knowing everything is reproducible, stateless, and only the written configuration matters.

I use GitLab CE since 2012, and checking https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/ gitea vs gitlab the main difference is: "Low resource usage (RAM/CPU)"

I see why: Gitea is 75%-Golang, 13%-HandleBarsJs GitLab is 85%-Ruby 12%-HTML

Never have a problem with Gitlab, but is RUBY is slow and cpu demand

The reason why landscape is used in film is not analogy, but the fact that humans move a lot horizontally, almost never vertically. Portrait orientation may be good for portrait photos (although landscape is often also very good, or better, depending on the specific case) but not for films. Filming human movement in portrait makes for a claustrophobic feeling, requires the camera to move all the time, and cuts out context (including other people). It has its place, but it's a poor default. I've seen some videos which were recorded from such a long distance that they looked bizarre. The only reason for that distance was the use of portrait orientation, the film wouldn't work without the horizontal context. But it was meant for TikTok, so of course it had to be vertical.
And it would be great if SCTP support was common across many platforms and supported over networks so we could have something (in ways) better than TCP or UDP.

Unfortunately it's over 20 years old and people just shove it in user space and use it over UDP (WebRTC).

Your sentiment is appreciated but it wouldn't be a way to get anything actually done :/.
For Boston to NYC, the Acela only hits peakish speed for a relatively short part of its journey. It is faster than the regular regional train but not by all that much--maybe by 30 minutes or a bit more. (The biggest benefit to the introduction of Acela was that it required the electrification of the tracks north of New Haven which eliminated what could be a fairly long engine switch on the regular regional train.) If I'm paying out of my own pocket I usually just take the regional.

Calling the effects of LSD placebo effects is not valid to begin with, which anyone who ever took LSD could confirm. It is also not Adderall or a stimulant, so there will be no extremely and immediately obvious changes in performance, etc.

If we want to talk about placebo, we really need to define the original purpose. I've heard countless of reasons to microdose by now, most of them are hokum to begin with. I think I did a pretty good job at describing what microdosing is actually useful for: Speeding up the forming of new habits and thought patterns, which is really really difficult and simply taking a small dose of LSD with your morning coffee isn't going to do anything and not going to produce immediate favorable and persistent effects, unlike for example Adderall would, aside of gaining a little bit of a deeper understanding on subconscious processes during your daytime routine.

If you're going to do it, it has to have a very, very clear purpose that also matches the effective profile of LSD, and even then the outcome is not guaranteed. A close friend of mine did not heed these warnings and now suffers from an, arguably, microdosing-induced panic disorder. Is this still a placebo? Possibly, but the effects of psychedelics are anything but a placebo, and their potential power is absolutely insane - but the utility, or harm potential, is directly correlated to what you do with it. Psychedelics are unlike any other substance class. The effects are not predictable like e.g. coffee is, they will send your deepest subconscious workings straight up into aware consciousness and you may not like what you see.

Physical effects of LSD are well documented: More physical endurance, for example.
Never used AOL, but I wish “the internet” had such a structured 90’s user interface.
have you checked LG g502? I don't have long fingers imo, so not sure if it fits your purpose but I have been using it for 8 years now (bought a new one 2 years ago since first one worn out)
Also, I don't particularly love the act of writing code itself, I like the results (problems getting solved or fun things happening) of which there are none in most of these games.

Interestingly it seems it's the exact opposite for games simulating other kinds of jobs. I hate driving, I do it to get somewhere and nothing else. But trucking simulators? Endless fun and relaxation. Same thing with chopping onions, which I only do to make a nice meal. But in a burger joint simulator? I'll gladly slice tomatoes for two hours!
I just drink coffee but that’s just me
TCP is terrible at long distance data transfer. I am sure some people will still prefer it since it can manage congestion but shouldn't newer things use UDP and handle delivery guarantees at the application layer?
Whoa, very interesting! i'd love to play this game.

> spending of a whale whose campaign I was joining.

Also, for me very punishing mechanics with high risk, high reward games have had an underserved market place. I love pking on a variety of different MMO's and sometimes when you are pking in max gear you are risking 10g's IRL. Full Torva on runescape is 6g's and once you add up the rest of the rings and amulets, you can easily be risking $15,000.00 IRL money.

However, there is no benefit to anyone besides yourself. Clans are 'superficial' as there is no real 'shared loot' system, clan building requirements outside 'daily's', but being the biggest clan doesn't give you 'benefits' outside a few dailys and some xp.

I'm not sure of the bindingness of this page [1], but the FTC says that transactional-vs-promotional is determined by what what a recipient "reasonably interpret[s]" it as, not what the sender says it is. Not that this prevents the kind of abuse that you mention, but I find if I send a email responding to the kind of email you mention and I politely explain how it is a violation of CAN-SPAM and if reported is a five-figure fine per email, then I magically get added to some sort of "do not send promotional emails that we call transactional" opt-out.

I'm pretty sure everyone prefers "check out branch, run build command" to transparently do the right thing rather than mental book-keeping of "does the state of my docker container match the Dockerfile of my feature branch"?
This Go code is wildly non-idiomatic. Type assertions via `.(type)` are a tool of last resort, not something that an application developer should turn to as a solution to a problem, and certainly not post-1.18, which permits generics.

According to the article it seems the vast majority of the donations come from one person - Sam Bankman-Fried?
Agree - it is terribly annoying. It probably says a great deal about TikTok users that is so prevalent ie too lazy to turn the phone 90. It is definitely easier to hold the phone in the vertical orientation. Why waste a lot of effort on a short pretty much useless piece of video that practically no one will watch.

Yeah I feel you. I don't think I was whataboutism-ing. The parent comment said PoE is fine because it's just cosmetics in game that you can buy. I guess I should have said you could spend thousands of dollars on PoE on cosmetics, but I'm just stating that one isn't better than the other. The main topic to me is that people are saying they don't like p2w games, and it feels like a weak argument if you say you don't like manipulative psychology in MTX but you actually are fine with it in regard to cosmetics because it doesn't impact your experience.

I just get this vibe that people don't think through their stance these days. They just want what they want, and use ethics to support their point when they don't really have a consistent sense of morality to speak of.
Audio cassettes had this also. A little tab you could break off that would prevent recording. If you later changed your mind and wanted to record over the tape, you would just tape over the hole.

This is awesome. There seems to be a large (and even extra large!) version available as well. I have added it on my shopping list to give it a try.

Good question. There are only a few functions implemented in .cc files, tagged with HWY_DLLEXPORT, notably memory allocation and detecting x86 CPU capabilities. If it were necessary, we could likely strip those out or do a header-only library. The ops/intrinsics called from user code are inlined in headers.

That's *insane*. Here in Scotland each dose costs the NHS at most a couple of hundred quid, plus about that again to administer. None of that is paid by the patient.
> the 'lip' along the top and bottom of the key - a feature of all the aforementioned spherical cap profiles - does nothing but disorient me when I hit a key even slightly off vertical centre.

Interesting! That lip is exactly why I like MT3. With flatter keycaps it's easier to accidentally type at the edge of a key and hit the key beside it. The lip lets me know I'm on-target.
> I would assume any modern processor would make a context switch a one instruction affair. Interrupt -> small scheduler code picks the thread to run -> LOAD THREAD instruction and the processor swaps in all the registers and the instruction pointer.

It can't be a single instruction, since the details of what a "context" contains depends on the OS and ABI. For example on Linux, the signal mask is a part of the OS thread context (but usually not user thread contexts) which requires a syscall to retrieve it from kernel memory before saving it in the context.

The reason why user threads are so much faster than OS threads is precisely because it can be reduced to a handful of instructions without caring about all the details that OS threads need to care about.

> Which only works if really every blocking IO is modified to include yielding behavior. If you call a blocking OS function, I assume something bad will happen.

That's exactly what Go does, they introduce yield points into function prologues and i/o ops. You don't have direct FFI calls in Go so it's not as big of an issue. It's roughly the same problem as GC safepoints in multithreaded interpreters that support FFI.
The market has been rapidly expanding for a long time, hence less need to increase prices. That plus if you include special, gold, ultimate editions, dlc packs, microtransactions, etc prices have been going up.
Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold is an excellent work that very clearly guides the reader through the components and steps that lead to the sophisticated computer systems we have nowadays. Each step is explained with no logical leaps and could be followed by a young child.

Improving almost anything by George Box blew my mind. As children and even as university students we have been lied to. We have been told that experiments must be carried out one at a time to assign effects. This is patently false. In fact, we miss out on potential interaction effects (think temperature and time in cooking) by using one factor at a time experimentation. In this book he discusses many now old but fundamental techniques by which large improvements in models can be gained with minimal data. It has helped me in my career immensely and made me aware of many usual methods and fields of study.
??? What is it then? Your duty you owe to society? If that would be the case and people would do all this sacrifices just for society and this wouldn't be a deeply ingrained wish to replicate, put oneself into the next generation and have to do a lot with self-realization, then our societies would be much better.

But fact is our world is overpopulated, it would.be better if we'd size down, and we have superegoistic societies in general. (But who would push our wheel chairs if we all wouldn't be so superaltruistic and raise children? Simple answer is there still would be enough, because people want children, even if it is a lot of sacrifice. I fully agree that it costs a lot and is a huge sacrifice, still its a free personal (if you so want lifestyle) choice that most won't regret.. or do you?

It was interesting to hear that Smalltalk was originally a language for Children (similar to Logo), and was coded in BASIC.

Alan Kay expressed some dismay after his departure that Smalltalk became so much more complex when a compiler was created.
From my experience, many in-person students also don't know many professors and ask for recs based on their classroom interactions/scores/projects. Obviously this won't be the strongest recommendation, but it's probably more common than you think.

A lot of students will have relevant internships or work experience -- this definitely would make for a great recommendation letter!

If you're pursuing a PhD, it would be ideal to have some undergrad research experience. I assume you'd pursue this online similarly to in person -- taking an interest in a professor's work and reaching out. Or over the summer, there are jobs at national labs and plenty of undergrad research experience summer programs.

What's your definition of a meritocracy then?

There's going to be nepotism and other unfair advantages anywhere in life, but I'm only interested in where a natural born programmer with a computer, some time after school, and not much else can end up. I think in the majority of cases this person can at least get an in somewhere, and once you have an in in tech, you'll be recognized by your team/manager if you do great work.

This is all made easier if there's free community college, good social safety nets, etc. which I fully support.
