> This … has nothing to do with liberalism.

Yes it does. In trying to deny that a particular pessimistic view of the future has anything to do with liberalism, you have presented what amounts to a U.S. progressive liberal view of the world's problems. People on the right see things differently.

One way to illustrate this is to compare how your concerns are treated in the U.S. Dem. party platform [1] vs the GOP party platform [2]. For example, "inequ" has 92 hits in the Dem. platform and 1 hit in the GOP platform. "climate" has 92 hits in the Dem. platform, and just 10 in the GOP platform, many of which are part of proposals the Dems would oppose, such as halting funding for the UNFCCC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Framework_Conve...).

> And one party is going down a dark road (they just had a convention in Hungary to learn how illiberal democracies work).

That is a left-wing view of the issue. The right is more like "GOP Senators Praise Hungary's Orbán After Tucker Carlson promotes him"(https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-senators-praise-hungary-...).

> There's now a nationalist party running at the federal level in Canada.

Many on the right would consider this a good thing. And so on.

I think i heavily disagree given the entire point of the movie is "what is life anyways". Roy choosing to spare deckard isn't becaus of some programming, he's real. He's a person. And like wise so is deckard and rachel, even if they are/aren't human.

It's a really fascinating look at tech that's gone so far we really don't know how to identify the difference, or it's more than possible at that point there isn't one. The sentient AI isn't some super machine that's going to build the singularity. It's "artificial" people forced into short lived slavery in a world that couldn't begin to give a damn about it.

Foreign markets are now a significant chunk of the big studios' movie profits. If the story isn't super direct and generic, it won't work in translation, and that will cost money.
I think the big difference there is in what capacities for violence exist within these two entities. One has a monopoly on legal violence and is armed (government) the other has no such powers (corporations). You want to limit how much power you give to an entity that has a legal monopoly on violence. Behind this desire to limit power is the recognition of the sad recurring reality of what is known as democide. Also on the table here is the distinction between tyranny, trending tyranny, and potential tyranny. If you’re not a member of a society in the state of potential tyranny then it may be too late to reverse the trend. So the question arises what safeguards and obstacles can be set in place that keep people in a state of peace and potential tyranny and how do you upset things from devolving into trending tyranny. These are pretty deep questions that I’m starting to scratch the surface in learning about.
Sometimes shows are just crap. Anything done by CBS since the revival has been crap. Simple as that. No need for a discussion on the value of allegory or preachiness. It's just crap.
Those movies are from 20 years ago, not really evidence they're still making movies like that.
A note here: The Bourne Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum are based in books (which have a better, richer and kinda different story when compared to the movies ).

I would reccomend having a look at them.

For me Python feels like an accelerating train, as long as you are already on and don't get off then its great but it gets harder and harder to catch up for everyone else.

I love stuff like 'match', the walrus operator, Typing, etc. but it definitely feels like a lot to grok and it will be increasingly hard for new programmers to read arbitrary python code without grokking all of the new stuff.
You've always been able to get the 15" with discrete graphics. There was a brief period where the 17" could be configured with slightly more VRAM, but regardless of how much you spent, the GPUs in those computers still sucked.

The 16" was first released in 2019, and has always had both integrated and discrete GPUs. I do think the connectivity configuration is a little restrictive and one dimensional, but there's no way you could convince me to use a 17" 2011, what with it being limited to USB 2.0 and FW800 (no thunderbolt!). Thankfully this point is moot, because the 2021 16" MBP has really great connectivity.

I'm confused by your comment about weight -- you actually want a heavier computer? The 2021 16" is 30% lighter than the 17" and smaller in all three dimensions. The 2021 16" MBP GPU is light years ahead of even the previous generation 16", let alone the 17" from 2011.
The point of a Type A is that it can fit an SD card, so if you need a card in a remote location you can get it conveniently.

I can't figure out if you're going to have to find people a lot smarter than me to do what you're looking for, or people a lot dumber than me.
Season 2 & 3 get better - there was a major production shakeup between 1 & 2 and smaller ones for 3. Season 4 goes slows, but I think one of the biggest problems is the way the seasons are told. One large overarching story with minor character building because of it, instead of the episodic storytelling from TOS etc. It took some getting use too and I almost stopped watching the first season as well. Season 2 is good to watch if you watch Strange New Worlds, which does go back to the episodic stories making it more like Star Trek.

Also, Lower Decks is pretty funny - I put it on for background noise and ended up binge watching, something I rarely do.

Newspapers.com is an interesting resource for stories about your family members here in the US, and some of the rest of the world. I learned that my Grandparents were the first couple married in a newly sanctified church, for example.

The Apple II used DRAM (4KB was the minimum initially). There was no refresh logic. The CPU was slow (just a bit more than 1 MHz), and DRAM could perform two complete RAS cycles in that time. That allowed the design to perform one memory operation per CPU cycle and do one DRAM read for video display per cycle. The mapping of logical addresses to DRAM rows was designed such that during normal video display every row was touched frequently enough that it met refresh requirements.

Z80 CPUs had DRAM refresh logic built in. The first two clock cycles it would read the primary opcode byte, and the next two clock cycles it would do a refresh of the next row and then increment the row counter ("R"). That worked well because the minimum instruction took four clock cycles to complete. The timing was a bit surprising though -- it would seem to take four cycles to fetch the first byte of an instruction but only three clock cycles for each subsequent memory transaction. Unfortunately, the R counter was only 7b wide, which was fine for 16Kbit DRAMs, but became a problem for 64Kbit DRAMs which needed to refresh 256 rows, not just 128. Some Z80 based designs would decode the refresh cycles and either mux in their own 8b count value, or they ignored the Z80 and just stall the Z80 every so often to perform a refresh cycle.
> We can see it in the genuinely good first season of Star Trek: Picard (2020).

I could live with an attempt at an intensive reflection on the lack of optimism in any of the new Star Trek shows, but then the author had to go out and say they enjoyed the first season of Picard.

There can be a discussion about the future presented by those shows, but Star Trek: Picard was a mess with more producers than main cast members, and probably the lighting crew as well. It has been an atrocity of television, a fleeting attempt by a fading star to milk his cash cow one last time, and a farce of storytelling. The guys at Red Letter Media have them dead to rights.
Interactive UNIX386 Release 3.2 Version 2.2 (1989)
What I love about the Fugitive is how slow the pace is and how relative down to earth the subject matter is. I find it difficult to watch action movies these days, with camera cuts every second and thirty seconds per scene. I’ve taken to watching Korean and Scandinavian shows on Netflix which I find far better paced.
This a huge yawn
> But if you are like me and your Raspberry Pi is sitting behind your router's firewall, you can't use this approach as your IP-address is changing all the time.

If your DNS provider has an easily usable API, you can set up something that checks your current public ipv4/v6 address and changes the DNS record if the IP address changes. You just need to set the DNS TTL to something smaller, such as 1 hour or less, to limit the impact of a changing IP address.
Movies in the past were made for mass audiences. But they existed in a world before social media, cell phones, podcasts, streaming tv and all the other entertainment we have now.

People who enjoyed movies such as The Fugitive do not go to cinemas anymore as much. Cinema going audiences shrunk severly. The only reliable market is kids movies, superhero movies and established franchises.

Agreed. In my early 20s, I spent a year backpacking around the world. I was fortunate enough to have the money, which I could have instead invested in property. Now I'm in my late 30s, I struggled to buy a home, I have a big mortgage, I'm getting by alright but I have very little in terms of investments.

I don't regret my choices for a second. My year spent travelling was the best experience of my life. It defined who I am. I learnt so much. I met so many wonderful people. I discovered so many amazing places. Wouldn't have been the same, had I deferred it until later in life (and many older travellers that I met told me as much).

I'm not an expert in Seneca, but from reading the article, I think he'd argue that time is much more valuable than money.
"a plus" depends on who you are. For someone who profits off of inflation, its certainly not a plus. I said it does a better job limiting supply and preventing inflation and that is a fact not an assumption. The supply has been controlled, the only inflation is caused by demand, exactly as intended. Any so-called "expert" who disagrees with that should have their expertise called into question.

"Japan's raid on the American market dates back to 1956, when the largest Japanese manufacturers formed the Home Electronic Appliance Market Stabilization Council, an illegal production cartel. The intent of the cartel was to monopolize the domestic market for television receivers, radios and other home electric products and to exclude foreign imports. Once their home market was secure, they would launch a drive against the far richer American market."

It seemed like a deliberate invocation of the 'kick the dog' trope. While crude and lazy villain writing, to invoke the trope so deliberately shows a degree of respect to the audience. It says the movie isn't going to waste your time by pretending to be something it isn't.

And it could have been a lot worse. If John Wick were a 70s revenge movie, I think it would have started with criminals killing John Wick's wife or daughter instead.

Nothing that I wrote about has anything to do with Liberalism. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberalism/

The article claims that a particular political outlook is to blame. I don't agree at all. Reality is to blame. It doesn't matter what your politics are, the facts are that we are living in a society that is objectively in decay socially, economically, environmentally, and politically.

Science fiction has always been about extrapolation. It's no wonder that when we extrapolate now, what we see is only darkness.

I understand that, but I think the target users of the Z9 would much rather have faster I/O. There are a number of articles and videos benchmarking the Z9 and the buffer performance is directly correlated to the speed of the storage. If Nikon went with Type A/SD their theoretical max buffer speed would get cut in half.
Cycling infrastructure designed by people who don't cycle is far too common.

A favourite example I have to deal with often is when the path has to narrow, so they put up signs telling all cyclists to dismount. I pass through a few of these often, and whenever a cyclist obeys the sign it creates immediate congestion because pushing a bike is slow and takes up more space. Then you get a cascade effect of pedestrians stepping into car traffic to avoid the bottleneck.

Another is rumble strips to slow down bikes at pedestrian crossings. It doesn't slow anyone enough to prevent incident, and tends to give pedestrians an illusion of priority so they stop looking for bikes in the path. Not to mention being uncomfortable enough to discourage using the bike path at all, and shaking lights out of position.

> 2) They make it possible to express invalid data. Inserting in the middle of a codepoint is an invalid operation.

It’s already possible to express invalid data, because the offset may be out of bounds. Please insert 'a' at offset 100 in the string "hello".

This leaves only one problem for code unit offsets.

But as for scalar value offsets, you’ve ignored the fact that it has precisely the same problem if you use UTF-8 or UTF-16.

If you go all in on UTF-8 code units, then UTF-16 and UTF-32 systems are slower, but UTF-8 systems are fast.

If you go all in on UTF-16 code units, then UTF-8 and UTF-32 systems are slower, but UTF-16 systems are fast.

If you go all in on scalar values, then both UTF-8 and UTF-16 systems are slower, and only UTF-32 systems (which are very few, Python is the only one I can think of offhand) will be fast.

We agree that extended grapheme clusters are unsuitable for persistent indexing, but you have failed to sell the virtues of scalar values. They just ensure things are slower for everyone instead of half the people. (Possibly a shade easier in some systems, but probably not particularly, and certainly slower.)

(I’ve used more precise terminology than the parent comment: “scalar values” instead of “code points” just for clarity where UTF-16 could be involved, and “UTF-8 code units” instead of UTF-8 bytes and “UTF-16 code units” instead of UCS-2 thingies.)
This is just terminology. Services are still deployed and scaled independent from each other and have a codebase which can be maintained by a two-pizza team.
The artist actually has a note about his pen choice I found quite interesting:

“Spectators often ask about the Bic biro and if there are motivations for their use in the installation, there are a number of reasons. When making a mark is it not black, it is dark gray, it is only the layering of traces which will create black, this enables a variety of tones and textures. The biro is a very reliable and predictable tool, pigmented and other felt pen dry and get dirty only being functional for a few hours, a Bic can draw for 3 days 10 hours a day without monitoring. Since 1950 the “stylo Bic” has seen minutes changes, it is recognised a very french iconic design. It reminds me of childhood, of the drawings and doodles scribbled in notebooks in primary and later schools, for me it is when drawing as a practice begun.”
