I have brain damage in my right temporal lobe, causing a lot of memory issues.

Everyone's giving you advice about changing your lifestyle so I'll go to the extreme: speak to your doctor and describe your symptoms, possibly a specialist (neurologist). They may want to do an MRI of the brain, or an IQ test (WAIS) to narrow their diagnosis.

At your age these problems are not normal (depending on severity of course, I don't know you). You want to get in front of this problem early if it's serious.

> 3) HAL Extensions (for those unaware they are tiny modules that allow you to extend the Windows HAL with functions for non standard hardware) are not tenable at the moment since they're limited in the APIs they use

I haven't heard of those before, and I'm fascinated by them. I go looking for documentation – and I can't find any on Microsoft's website – some documentation which mentions their existence, [0] but no details on the API or how to write them.

Is this something you have to sign an NDA with Microsoft to get access to the headers and docs for it? Or will I find the headers hidden away in the WDK somewhere?

Is there any good public source of info on them? The best I've found is [1] – which includes some important details but isn't comprehensive (not that anyone would expect a slide deck to be).

What about "anti competitively restrains the web by preventing any other browsers from running"?

Like, holy shit- do we remember what Microsoft got in trouble for?[1][2] For making IE the default browser? For including a browser at all? Windows had like >90% market share on desktops, iOS doesn't have >30%, but if 30% of the computers run Apple-Web- and can't run the real web at all, that's about as blatantly anti-competitive, is as crude & crippling a blow as could be imagined. Other browsers had been possible vs IE- Apple won't even allow the possibility.

To me the main use of line numbers is that they allow you to have a seemless combination of an immediate environment and a line-oriented program editor.

With modern UI, there's pretty much no reason to do that, of course; with a retro style UI, there might be some marginal use.

(Also, supporting line numbers and line-oriented GOTO/GOSUB means you can directly use any of the libraries or classic code in that style; unwinding GOSUB/RETURN into named subs is trivial enough if it is otherwise clean, but unwinding GOTO-heavy code without having a working starting point isn't pleasant.)

3930 TWH in 2021 / 331.9 million people = 11.84 MWH per person.

And that’s with over a million electric cars added.

Society claiming this is wrong and being correct is exactly balanced by society claiming whales aren't fish and being incorrect.

Their careful comparison of the efficiency of AI vs the human brain is hilariously absurd to me.

It seems to assume a disembodied "brain in a vat" model, as if brains aren't ordinarily attached to a large clump of flesh that typically attempts to accumulate as many resources as it can, and often enjoys combusting large quantities of fossil fuels hurtling around in various metal enclosures.

I suppose we could be very efficient at image classification once AWS announces their new h5.large "MT bare human" instances, where gigantic banks of people are set to work solving CAPTCHAs with their incredible performance per watt specs.

Or we could redo the analysis with other cherry-picked measures and find the "human architecture" is orders of magnitude less efficient at multiplying large integers, and come to the conclusion that we should replace all babies (which have a wasteful decades-long training period) with ARM chips.
Lyft Bikes & Scooters in NYC absolutely did have DEI staff. That office was partially the result of an acquisition, so you may not be aware of the unique circumstances if you or someone you know worked elsewhere in the org.

The office was two floors, with hundreds of employees, in the middle of Manhattan. It would have been conspicuous (and quickly remedied) if there wasn't anyone representing DEI there.

The story is true. If you want to accuse me of lying so be it. In that case it would be my word against your disinclination to believe me.

That being said, you are totally incorrect about DEI staff at LBS NYC. I politely ask that you verify this (or admit you don't have the necessary context) and retract that part of your statement.
> which averages ~$51m a day.

Until it doesn't. We're not talking about the same thing here because one is a one-time payment (license) vs on-going (loot boxes / SaaS). I'm highly critical of loot box (p2p) games, but you're on-going payments do pay for content in the future. Companies who charge once have very little incentive to maintain the software (assuming it requires it to).

force stop should prevent the app from running or receiving notifications/gcm messages until either you reboot or open it.

I think you're thinking of the _disable_ button on preinstalled apps. this button is only available on preinstalled apps (it switches to an uninstall button for others) however the functionality is still there if you turn on adb. The relevant command is `pm disable --user ## package.name`. You can check your user number with `pm list users`, `dumpsys user|fgrep 'UserInfo{'` or a couple other ways; the package name is in the play store URL.
Nothing but being able to purchase a Ferrari directly is somewhat of an earned "privilege".

Money isn't enough if you want to purchase something like the new SF90 Stradale brand new, you essentially need to be offered the opportunity to buy one by Ferrari Corporate. Oh and you gain that by buying quite a number of used Ferraris and less desirable new Ferraris via your dealership until someone "notices" your "love of the brand".

If this sounds like gatekeepy bullshit, it is.

It's because the ideas come from early 20th Russian bolshevism. It's an application of Marxism to race so you can't be "racist" towards White people because they're "oppressors." It's why I wish people would use "bigoted" instead of "racist" because it's less ambiguous to the extremists pushing the nonsense and the people listening to them.

I don't think it matters _when_ it becomes predatory. Whether or not gambling should be legal aside, if gambling for minors is illegal in a jurisdiction then i'd expect any game that becomes predatory at any point to be managed as gambling.

All of this is subject to the definition of gambling, predatory, etc - of which i'm not trying to argue. Just saying that befriending children with the goal of handing them drugs after a "long" period doesn't change that i'm still handing them drugs. Same goes for this, i would think - if it falls within those definitions, of course.

> DVORAK is better than QWERTY

Not if you're a programmer, punctuation, which is much more frequent in programming languages than english, is a lot harder to type.

The only way I'd expect raw datasets to be published online immediately in a useful, curated manner by a research group is if that was stipulated in their research grant, period, i.e. that's what the goal of the project was, at least in part.

Now this is not entirely uncommon in many research areas; you can get all the current weather and climate datasets with little difficulty as these are shared globally (as is necessary for effective short-term weather forecasting). Anyone publishing DNA/RNA/protein work generally uploads those sequences to GenBank, and that gets updated every two months, so is pretty current relative to the published literature:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/

However this article seems to focus on "Biomed" and that whole world is where pharmaceutical/corporate influence in academics is off the charts. I'd guess well over half of the researchers (if not over 90%) have some dream of getting their work patented, setting up a biomed startup, and having Pfizer or J&J swoop in and buy them out (they then get a percentage and become wealthy), and their university patent office is likely pushing for that as well (they get another percentage). No way are those people going to share their data, which might very well be slanted or cooked in ways that will make their little entrepreneurial effort more attractive to a big buyer. It's way more like pitching to a VC than doing actual rigorous scientific research in the tradition of open sharing of results and ideas - at least not until the patent is granted. Then you're into whether or not the clinical trial data will be released to the public, and corporations don't like to do that either (as someone might find that their claimed success story is riddled with statistical errors, etc.).

Business and science have orthogonal goals, and mixing the two is almost always a recipe for the rise of fraudulent con artists pushing bogus BS in the name of turning a quick profit.

I find Google Maps painfully slow in Safari. When I got a new M1 Pro and loaded it up the first time it seemed amazing, but over time it got worse. I don't know if this is an issue with Safari or Google's way to push poeple to Chrome.

I started using Orion over the past few days. There are definitely some things I like, but even though it says it supports Chrome and Firefox extensions, the only one I care about is 1Password. It installed, but wouldn't run because Orion isn't verified in some way.
Is there irony in asking for other researchers' data (presumably free of charge) and then publishing the results of that effort behind a paywall?
The reason for only optimizing for Blink based browsers is simple, it works correctly most of the time while Safari/Webkit lags with compliance. Safari/Webkit is essentially the new IE6/10 of this era.

Also Blink based browsers have vastly more market share and generally if it works on Blink it will work on Firefox/Gecko, because unlike Safari/Webkit it doesn't live in the dark ages.

The only reason people don't outright ignore it is that it's the only engine that runs on iOS.
This does often mean though people only test for it when doing mobile/responsive testing.

Apple either needs to really get off their ass and invest properly in Webkit or do something more drastic like adopt Blink (bad for us, browser monoculture but probably easiest option) or Gecko (good for us, unlikely to happen).
Safari, as the default browser, could still keep Chrome from embracing and extending the web. It would just have to be a competent implementation instead of the half-baked pile of bugs it is now.
Games, particularly RPGs are about optimizing characters and builds. Especially Diablo/ARPGs. The campaign was never the meat of the game. It's a part of it, but not the core. You can't actually participate in the core gameplay loop without spending decades in game or spending tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Actually in the case of Immortal some things are simply not possible by only playing.

That's not a game anymore, it's a skinner box.

They do. This is literally called "buy vs build".

Because you started the conversation with absolute, all or nothing terms, which I countered. Read these two statements and tell me which is absolute, all-or-nothing and which isn't:

*It's the fact that a company of 10k employees do not need to be at the mercy of a third-party vendor.*

Ah! That explains the weird emphasis on C.S. Lewis and the course on the decline of American citizenship.
First thing I tried was the Haskell Aeson library which keeps the first value of the key:

λ> decode f :: Maybe Value
Just (Object (fromList [("this_article",String "// would be better")]))

There's a more flexible jsonWith function that lets you control how duplicates (and, for that matter, field order) is handled, but it's not the default.

The handful of other tools I spot-checked all keep the last pair, so it seems like almost but not quite standard behavior.

I was curious about other programs and, searching around, found a discussion[1] about standardizing the behavior to "either reject objects with duplicate keys or keep the last value"; however, from a quick scan, that wasn't added to any of the standards documents I found. Apart from the standard I linked earlier there are a couple of JSON RFCs[2][3], but they basically say "different systems do different things and if you depend on the behavior, your JSON won't be universally interoperable"

> When the names within an object are not unique, the behavior of
software that receives such an object is unpredictable. Many
implementations report the last name/value pair only. Other
implementations report an error or fail to parse the object, and some
implementations report all of the name/value pairs, including
duplicates.

> JSON parsing libraries have been observed to differ as to whether or
not they make the ordering of object members visible to calling
software. Implementations whose behavior does not depend on member
ordering will be interoperable in the sense that they will not be
affected by these differences.

If anything, the fact that it is almost but not quite standard behavior probably makes it worse—you can rely on it for quite a while until it unexpectedly breaks and the figuring out why it broke will be a real headache.

That would result in a PEGI 18 classification which is also something the publishers of these games have been fighting tooth and nail.
Many will call you crazy due to the phrasing, but you're not wrong. The problem is that people look at the Apple / Google duopoly and say "look we have competition! How can you compare this to Microsoft in the 90s!?" The sheer amount of anticompetitive behavior both these companies have done over the years is insane when you put in prospective what Microsoft went to court over.

Many of us saw projects like Firefox grow in the 2000s, giving hope that open source and standards would win out in the end. But we dwindled, lulled by the sweet promises of Chrome and their open core. And just like that we're back to a major corporation controlling large swaths of the web. Makes the future look pretty bleak to be honest.
Aren't those just chickens that didn't sell and have to be tossed or used?
C doesn't have that either. Most commonly people just do a linear search. If you have a bigger array you can either use a library or roll your own almost-hash table-kinda-thing. It's not that complicated to roll your own because you already know your specific type of input. Implementing something that works for "any" type of input is harder.
