Wow, thanks for the detailed step by step playbook. This helps a lot.
“Institutions” in general don’t have woke messaging, specific institutions do. “Universities” in general don’t have partnerships with the Qatar government, specific universities do.

Just because one university is very “woke”, and another university forms a partnership with Qatar does not mean that universities in general are hypocritical, or even that any specific university is hypocritical.

If you are going to make such a broad argument as “American universities are hypocritically supporting the Qarar government” as you seem to be, you need to give more examples than just one university forming a partnership with Qatar.
>The chromium-only web is not google’s fault. It is a symptom of a body of web standards that has grown wild to the point of being all but unimplementable.

>Building a browser for the modern standards-based web is effectively impossible, because it costs too much, takes too long, and requires a standing army to keep up with.

I wonder which company grew their browser marketshare through ruthless advertising on their already-a-monopoly search engine, then began to compete with the other browsers by purposefully breaking their websites on other browsers (all by accident of course, hundreds of times), then began to implement their websites with alpha versions of their proposed web standards that only their browser properly implemented, leaving other browsers with a dreadful polyfill that had horrible performance on purpose, only to then basically force their proposals through the web standards body that they had made because they couldn't control the W3C, leaving everyone having to follow such great APIs as WebUSB or other badly-implemented-but-only-by-them flavor of the day API, all the way to forcing dreadful protocols like QUIC and HTTP/3, justified by their need to save up three bytes per request and making the user's experience better while they serve 2MB of tracking javascript and ads through DNS-cloaked servers.

I think the name was like... Gogle ? Golgool ? Can't remember.
Development between IE4 and 5.5 was massive.
They probably don’t have time and aren’t enforcing this law much anyways (this is the case here in Seattle). But the virtue points for repealing the law are still there for legislators who aren’t interested in actual improvements anyways.
> Just write the instructions on the tag.

But then you need different labels for different markets, and even then often lots of different languages on the same label. That's the whole point of using symbols instead: they are universal.

At least in theory. In the real world labels do contain instructions in multiple languages, and I do read those instead of trying to decipher the symbols.
Wow, no way this would immediately devolve into the worst kind of populism...
I measured it with a simple modification of the above program to call each method() 5,000,000 times and sample the time taken.

With minimal optimizations (-O), the call_table is moderately slower. This is probably because with gcc's default optimizer, it doesn't recognize the inline-ability of call_table(), whereas it does with the other method()'s.

With all optimizations on (-O3): all methods are, performance-wise, equivalent. The call_table() gets inlined, like the competition, and it performs just as well.

But thats the actual point: the call_table() method is as equally qualified for optimization as other methods - and in the end, produces the same performance. So really, its a matter of style and readability - which the call_table() wins over gigantic switch() statements, easily.
The amount of people who /think/ they need more utility than a subcompact outnumber and the amount who actually do quite severely.

Subcompact with tow ball so you can rent a small hanger for the few times you need more space for, say, a washing machine or fridge is so much better than an F-something size truck.

Oh, I forgot about stupid U.S. towing codes, nvm.
Yes, this is an interesting approach, thanks for sharing.
How is prostitution a disadvantage in a country where it's legalised and regulated, exactly? Seems like you're using your own prejudices and applying them broadly
I'm not a webdev so I mostly don't care as long as it's FOSS, but I will say that firefox loads a lot faster than chromium on my machine. Looking at top it appears that somehow firefox is actually using more memory than chromium is (i only tested a three tabs open in each browser so maybe they don't scale the same under heavier load) but at the same time I can report anecdotally that in addition to being slower, chromium also causes my HDD to make way more noise than firefox ever does.
> so need need to get specific steel in specific parts of a blade.

This is not quite true. Even today, there are many secrets surrounding metalworking. The highest quality "blades" (such as plow blades/moldboards), may have steel with quite diffent qualities in different areas of the blade.

The blade may start out as monosteel, but differential exposure to oxygen, carbon or different temperatures in different parts of the blade is a common way to create blades that have different microstructures (crystal structures, chemical bonds, microshapes) as well as a carbon content that can vary within the blade. These helps them to retain an edge better, better avoid scratching, while maximizing durability and minimizing weight and thickness.
> I eat food because it fills my belly, not because it looks good.

Why can't we fill our bellies with food that doesn't involve exploiting and killing other sentient animals?

If you have your own farm then ignore the above. It's a general question regarding the global food production. But not everyone can have their own farm - so that way of life is not scalable - if the majority of 9B people want to eat meat. It can only become sustainable, if it becomes extremely expensive and demand is curbed.

> And, no, you're never gonna get there with vegan nut paste
Never say never - we humans are quite ingenious and finding ways to do things better.

> Highest- among all types of food we're currently producing.
> I consider every vegan who tells me meat destroys the environment to be dishonest

It's not just GHG, but also:

- Greater water usage required for meat & dairy diet

- Biodiversity loss

- Deforestation

- Soil degradation

The IPCC recommends a shift towards a more plant-based diet to mitigate the climate crisis.

So are you calling hundreds of climate scientist dishonest? Here are plenty of resources to back up the claim that our current meat heavy diets are destructive and that a global shift to a plant-based diet is required to avert climate catastrophe. https://www.ipcc.ch/srccl/chapter/chapter-5/

Here are some quotes from experts in the field:

Dr Peter Carter, IPCC expert reviewer and Director of the Climate Emergency Institute stated: “The science is definite, global climate catastrophe cannot be averted without the elimination of meat and dairy in our diet, and that must happen fast.”

Courtney Vail, Campaign Director at Oceanic Preservation Society, added: “Changing our diets from a focus on animal-based to plant-based products is one of the most powerful things we can do to positively impact the world. Animal agriculture utilizes precious water resources, releases climate-altering greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and reduces the planet’s ability to sequester carbon by destroying diverse ecosystems.”
Impressive work. Not often do you see execution so well documented.
Yes, if they used Java then a whole class of use-after-free exploits wouldn't be possible.

Security is not a binary yes/no. There are many many ways in which programs can be insecure. Eliminating one class of bugs helps reduce total amount of issues and their severity.

It's like car crashes: cars with seatbelts, airbags, and auto-braking systems kill way fewer people than they used to, but are still deadly.
It's not just migrant workers thought, my one cousin who is a white collar worker, making significantly more than me, lived under similar conditions with respect to passport and living...they even go through his mail. I have had other cousins in the are who have worked as labourers and the first hand accounts as bad as we've heard.
Yes, this makes sense, thanks for sharing.
What you describe here is grouping of thousands of different types of demographics into one. The reality is very different depending where you live, and your level of technology access varies. A fleeing Ukrainian is very well versed in Bitcoin - Ukraine has one of the highest levels of adoption. A Nigerian is also very versed in Bitcoin - despite their government's attempt at curtailing use, they still find a way. A kid in Congo may or may not have access to a smart phone - that I have no way of knowing, but I do know that cell phone access is ubiquitous in Africa despite what many imagine or believe. Sure, their needs may be better served by a stable coin, but that does not relieve bitcoin of value. A Salvadorian may or may not understand Bitcoin - but this is like asking the population to understand how your email protocol works - there's a lot to learn. Even in a country like Japan, Bitcoin is becoming a safe haven with the Yen losing 20% of its value when comparing to USD.

Going back to the topic of the "most vulnerable", a bank that you and I take for granted is a luxury in many of Africa's nations. Bitcoin is a permission-less banking system. Does it have technological hurdles for the average person to overcome? Yes. But this is all being worked on right now by people I talk to every day. The same way that most people have no idea how SMTP works, you won't really need to understand behind the scenes of Bitcoin. There are various levels of autonomy and people will fall on the spectrum of where they are comfortable, with the level of privacy / security that most fits their Bitcoin education.

> Bitcoin does not exhibit any of the ponzi shenanigans

Really? How do you call something where there is no underlying product generating value, and you need to have someone else put money in to get your money out? It's literally the definition of a ponzi pyramid.
I absolutely consider rehabilitation to be like healthcare and as such should be provided at little or no cost. There can be private options of course as well as public.

I’m not familiar with what you refer to in Canada. In any case I absolutely don’t want hard drugs to be legalised and marketed like alcohol, I’m talking about something like clinics providing for free in proper doses for those that come seeking. It’s fine to have harsh penalties for those that try to supply outside of that.

There is a ton of money in preventative care. But even if you were right, we have no idea if prevention of Alzheimer's is even possible, or what it would take to do so.
Some questions:

1. Would you need two of them at a $430 cost for this?

2. If so would the person be much better with alternative solutions like fixed wireless or Ethernet-VDSL2 conversion that would deliver much better performance at this price point?
This is really interesting, $12 a month are a good price IMO.

Is it possible to use TabNine without using the random executable from https://update.tabnine.com/3.2.28/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/... (Or is there the source available?)

Ah yes, that would explain the enormous raft of benefits that Portugal came into when it decriminalised drug use for personal amounts and would explain why the Prohibition Era was so wildly successful and free from downsides

Which drugs do you draw the line at? Coffee? Alcohol? Nicotine?
I don't normally want to be personal, but ncmncm you chime in with this thread each time. Can you give an example of what you yourself have written that would live up to your standards? I'm curious what type of thing you're talking about.
>you still need the passport to enter anywhere else, even your home country

Your home country can't refuse you entry, regardless of identification. Deportees don't get to stay in the US just because they lost their passport.
It would still require something on the other side (set-top-box, computer, etc) to give it network access.
Cost wise the biggest spend is building the large model (CODEX for Copilot). While CODEX is close sourced there are a number of other good open source transformer models from SFDC (T5), AI21, Meta that are the foundational models we use. Going forward we will continue to partner with the community to enable these large models to reach developers in code-time.

Lol it’s also every single company ever. Look at the US/Western twitter accounts of major corporations and they’re all rainbows. Then look at their Middle East or other regions twitter accounts.. the only color they care about is green. Everything else is marketing backed by legal.

I was selected for a project in a Gulf country and we had a preliminary session where I got an eye opener. Basically, no women or gays, no non Islam religious paraphernalia, no atheists, no Jews and if you have Israeli stamp the company would help you get a new passport, no drinking, cover up tattoos. Never noped the fuck outta something as fast as declining that project. No money is worth working for these savage nations.

It’s gross how much these corporations act woke in the west and then basically bend to these kinds of countries. Disgusting, and yet everyone in the west eats up the marketing propaganda.
Wow.. thanks for sharing, I will try this approach.
They're a/b testing it, sometimes it's required, sometimes its not. If I were to guess their tests will probably show that a lot people will login when forced to do so. What the a/b won't show, and what requires actual human insight and compassion for the user base is that most people will be deeply unhappy about anti-user patterns like this. They might even not realise it consciously at first, but decisions like this guarantee Reddit will slowly become less enjoyable for its users.

I used to love Reddit. I used to love FB. I used to love Twitter. But over time decisions were made which made my experience of those sites became increasingly less enjoyable and negative until I found myself rarely using them at all.

In the short-term I tolerated a lot of crap, but in the long-term I didn't. And it wasn't even an explicit decision, it was a slow emotional change in how I perceived those sites.

I'm sure the team behind this decision will be praised for increasing monthly active accounts by 5% and ad revenue by 0.5%. But what won't be measured by KPIs is the slow trend of people who just decide to spend their time elsewhere because Reddit isn't as enjoyable anymore.

I have no experience with what it takes to run a company like Reddit, but if I were in charge of Reddit today a/b tests and performance metrics would be banned in favour of humans empathising with humans. I completely understand the incentive to optimise for KPIs over users in the near-term and I do accept that sometimes there are times where user satisfaction can't be the first priority, but this is why human insight is so important. Any human with experience of the Reddit userbase would know it's a mistake to force users to login to view NSFW content, even if that's what the data suggests is the right thing to do.

Bitcoin is voluntary. The goal is better money. If you take on that big of a challenge, you kinda need people to participate with their "old" money. It's called adoption. Just like internet would have no value if nobody participated, bitcoin has no value if nobody participates. Do you send email to yourself? No. Do you shop from a non-existing platform? no.
Given the largest English speaking population on the internet is Americans, I'm going to have to assume that the ridiculously puritanical opinions on sex work and drug use in the comments are from Americans.

Let's break down the browser space:

1. Microsoft: MS was never interested (until it was far too late) in having a standards-compliant, performant browser. It was a spoiler move to keep people Windows dependent.

2. Mozilla: I honestly don't understand what Mozilla is doing other than raising top exec pay while Firefox users go down [1]. As best as I can tell, Mozilla is the Yelp in this situation. Yelp has spent over a decade extolling the evils of Google while doing absolutely nothing to improve their product. It's a great way to collect a fatter and fatter paycheck but you're ultimately doomed.

3. Apple: Safari has almost always been bound by its own ecosystem. It's dominant on iOS because you have no other choice (for now; you can install other browsers but they're still the Safari engine basically). A lot of people use it on MacOS. For a brief time there was a Windows port but it died. This doesn't seem like an area that Apple wants to compete in. I mean at the end of the day Safari and Chrome share a common Webkit lineage.

So I see a lot of failure, lack of prioritization, missed opportunities and finger-pointing in this space so is it any wonder that a massive engineering company has been able to dominate this space?

I don't see us repeating the IE6 era however. The Internet is core to Google's business in a way that it never was to Microsoft.

That being said, I think this is one area where government intervention may well be needed sooner rather than later. Google has (and continues to) use their properties to advance Chrome (IMHO) eg [2].

There can be a fine line between advancing the browser space and simply crippling your competitors.

At $195 it's definitely not low cost.
Quite a lot of effort goes into compiling switch statements. Jump tables and binary search are likely, as is a mixture of the two based on distribution of cases.

I haven't seen computed goto but wouldn't be surprised if some compilers have that as a third option.
Even in the presence of healthier lifestyles, the human body would still accumulate problems as part of the normal aging process. It's not like Alzheimer's would just go away if people started going on more walks and ate more vegetables. It's not an "emerging disease".
About Roman cement, maybe we know how it was made, BUT for a number of reasons we decided to use other types of cement that not necessarily are "better" than the Roman one, particularly when it comes to durability.

The ubiquitous modern Portland cement and concrete made with it hardens faster and has initially a higher resistance.

Modern Pozzolanic cements, more similar to the Roman ones, are in practice very rarely used, even if they have most of the properties of the old Roman ones (longer time to harden, hardness/resistance increasing over the years, generally much better resistance to water).
It's very similar to not promoting the software engineers that fix bugs, and keep everything stable, but promoting the ones gaming the metrics, when you think about it.

Watch out, cop ranges wildly (1.1-5+) depending on the type of heat pump, output temperature and intake temperature. Ideal are water-water heat pumps connected to a deep well, but these cannot be installed everywhere and carry a significant (roughly double) capital investment.
Air-water heat pumps are very sensitive to outside air temperature and output temperature. Low-temperature heating (30-40C) still gets an OK ~2-2.5 cop in freezing temperatures, but sanitary water (65deg C) tanks the efficiency significantly.

Another consideration is that you lose efficiency in converting chemical to electrical energy, plus there is a higher transport and distribution loss to factor in.
Lack of training data is obviously not gonna be a linchpin in this project, no matter how reproachful the hs crowd looks upon copilot in regards to oss licensing. Even if we are prepared to dub the copilot team liars (bold move, good luck in court) there is always gonna be enough code to go around to make this thing happen regardless. Rumors are microsoft could chip in some.

In addition, the idea of "derived work" in code snippets is, quite frankly, nuts. There is only so many ways to write (let's be generous on the scope of copilot) 25 lines of code to do a very specific thing in a specific language. If you have 1000000 different coders do the job (which we do) you'll have a significant amount of overlap in the resulting code. Nobody is losing sleep because of potential license with this. Because that would be insane.

I have noticed that upholding oss licensing (at least morally) is kind of a table manner on hs. That's fine, but this is some new level of silly.

It's also not gonna persist, because no matter how much we love our oss white-knightedness, we love having well paying jobs more.
My experience with Tabnine was that I loved it when it came out. I loved the fact that I could get full line suggestions without any extra language specific setup (I hop around different languages a lot) but the suggestions became less and less useful over time. In my view this was a degradation of Tabnine but of course I have nothing to back this up. Hearing this backstory does reaffirm my suspicion.

At some point I started using Language Server (mostly Typescript and Python) suggestions alongside Tabnine and it started to feel like it was just getting in the way. In the end I got rid of Tabnine. I haven't tried Co-Pilot yet but may give it a go when I find some time.
