Marvel films have cheap, lazy cinematography, for the most part, so they leave a lot on the table in the name of (I assume) saving money. Every Frame a Painting mentions this in a few videos, especially their poor use of music and failure to do anything with mood-of-setting and, relatedly, camera work and editing (match it to the mood of the scene, contrast it to mood of the scene—little of that kind of thing at all, it's just very flat).

> (I realise TG: Maverick isn't going to be everybody's taste but it's the best film I've seen at the cinema in a long time, and the first time I've walked out of a movie feeling absolutely wowed since, perhaps, The Matrix came out in 1999.)

- Everything Everywhere All at Once

- Mad Max: Fury Road

- Blade Runner 2049

- RRR if pure, audacious, crazy popcorn-munching spectacle and a movie that's constantly saying "yes, and..." does it for you.

- Dune (the new one). Watch it on the biggest screen and best sound system you can get access to. Actually, that kinda goes for all of these.

A big step down from those in quality and they're not going to give you that "wow" effect, but still action films that are better than nearly all Marvel movies:

- Any Mission Impossible movie except maybe 2.

- The John Wick movies.

- Dredd.

- The Raid 1 & 2 (which Dredd rips off pretty blatantly, but it's decent, too)

I've heard very good things about the later Planet of the Apes (remake series) movies but have only seen the first one, personally.

Painful to limit myself to action movies. There are so many good films.
It amazes me how many people think marketing is the reason that teenagers use any type of drug. Weed has just become legal in the past couple of decades and wasn’t marketed. I assure you that teenagers have been smoking it before then.
It's not that complicated though. You're thinking JUUL replaces cigarettes but many of the teens that would have never picked up smoking ended up smoking JUULs in droves. Especially teen girls who enjoy the feminine designs and flavors that are marketed directly to them.

The KwH makes sense if you consider that while units are largely path-independent, mental calculations are not. At any given moment, the sensible measure of your house's electricity usage is in kW. And to work backwards to figure out consumption, the hour certainly beats the second. Sure, you could call it 3.6e6 joules, but at that what point what does it buy you?

Horsepower is clearly insane though, I have no idea why you'd bother.
Oh man, all my childhood favorites :)

I've also reread all the Redwall books as an adult and it was amazing. Be aware that they didn't make audiobooks for all the books so if you're planning on listening, you'll have to read at least some of thing in book form.

Also they didn't make hardcovers for everything which is annoying if you're collecting them to sit on a bookshelf.
And yet bicycles are very popular in countries where it is incredibly hot and humid.

Bicycling is more efficient than walking; you're generating less heat to move at the same speed, or you can move faster for the same heat generation, generating more cooling breeze.

I've ridden in over 100 degree weather during a heat wave. I dressed in the lightest clothing I owned, and arrived barely sweating.

My coworkers demanded to know how I'd arrived not drenched in sweat; after all, just walking from the bus stop many of them had gotten soaked in sweat.

Simple: I planned an extra ten minutes for my commute, and barely pressed the pedals...

Why does the FDA have the authority to do this ? They'd save more lives by removing all Mc Donald's from the market.

Same thing with the DEA telling me what substances I can consume.

Now instead of having a legal option, your encouraging underground, unregulated options.

How about this, slap a big label on everything from fattening foods to recreational drugs, with " This will fucking kill you, here for a good time not a long time".

Then either raise the enlistment age to 21 or drop the age of consumption to 18.

It's pretty fucking absurd you can enlist at 18 ,but can't consume recreational substances until 21.
The issue with browser extensions is that the main way to monetize them is to steal data or inject adware/malware[1]. The extensions themselves request a lot of permissions, there's minimal security scanning (the only one I know of is https://crxcavator.io/) and often people with successful browser extensions end up selling them to someone who then modifies them to be malicious[2], which means even trustworthy extensions may become malicious at any point. That said, no ublock is not the only safe add-on. The ones you mentioned are safe, but there's probably not enough people asking security/IT about them. What might be an effective approach to get your preferred extensions added to the allowlist is to request the process to add new extensions to that list, and to point them to the risk scores in https://crxcavator.io/

Rust's design has given more thought for how to work in the kind of programming environment that the Linux kernel sits in than C++ (even C++11) has.

Specifically (and this is no longer quite eli5), Rust's freestanding mode--working without a standard library--is somewhat fuller and more fleshed out than the C++ freestanding mode.

Now, the sibling comment that points out that C++ gained a bad reputation pre-C++11 is probably a bigger reason for it not being seriously considered whereas Rust is, but there are some technical reasons where Rust does better than C++.
Interesting, although I'm way more excited about the inverse (code as diagram).
What is the advantage of this format over yaml, json or other structured data formats?

This is a crucial question, actually - at a first glance, I would wager to answer:

"The Recutils format is not nearly as universal or flexible as YAML/JSON. It essentially supports just one data structure, analogous to a SQL table or a list of dicts. But for that use case (which is quite important) it does seem to a more suitable format, and provides additional features that those formats and their tooling do not."
Yeah, but wouldn't it be great if the tool that performed "AI-generated code" were also required to run such analysis themselves, to eliminate this licensing violation at the moment it were inserted?

It's as if Microsoft were banking on the fact that most violations will be unnoticed

I would have to better understand language transform models to back up my argument, but my impression is that copilot is not sitting ontop of a SQL database ripping the most likely line of code out of a row of a table, rather, it is a lossy compression that happens to be able to reconstruct some data better than others

Cool! I always find it exciting when other people have experienced how transformative great editing is.

I agree that most non-writers tend to think of editing as either an afterthought, unnecessary, or only something that professionals do. It makes positioning here really tough.

One thing we've experimented with isn't selling editing per se, but trying to counter-position ourselves to the publishing into the void problem. Like, "hey - you're probably busting your ass writing and publishing a bunch, but nothing is happening. That's because silence is a crappy teacher. There's a better way to write..."

Most of the writers who have used Foster were not working with an editor before they joined, but once they submit their first draft they often say they can't believe they ever wrote without getting feedback first.

I think if we can figure out positioning this in a new way and if we deliver a genuinely new editing experience (the input you get reliably goes far beyond catching grammar errors), it will unlock a ton of latent demand and be big. If not, I agree with you that selling editing is hard to scale.

Kids aren’t using nicotine to treat dementia — am I missing something?
I've been a Tolkien fan since a very young age when I would read and re-read the old copies my mother handed down to me of Hobbit and LotR. Then I went on to read the Silmarillion and all of the "unfinished" books.

Having said that, I cannot fathom why anyone would be upset about new material. The books you love are still the books you love. They haven't changed at all, and they won't. If you don't like the new stuff, ignore it, like we all do for almost all media that is released.
Copyright law hold that’s derivative works don’t require copyright permission. So again, copilot is in the clear. Copilot users may not be, but that’s up to them to determine at time of commit.

I would gladly support a major/complete reduction in added sugar to our food system. It would make life a lot easier than having to read labels.
An important point here is that traditional use of nicotiana rustica was more far more widespread than nicotiana tabacum. This was a much more potent (higher concentration of nicotine), and people would smoke less and less frequently.

The other recent announcement from the administration is to reduce the amount of nicotine in cigarettes which a lot of harm reduction specialists are concerned will result in more smoking rather than less.

With Wasm you could use any fully-featured programming language that compiles to Wasm, rather than severely-restricted and stylized C with a single toolchain that can generate BPF bytecode. Wasm has a formal specification and many high-performance implementations with near-native performance. BPF predated Wasm by a lot, yet not being a general purpose bytecode, hasn't had the engineering time invested that Wasm has.
Given that Yandex is a crucial part of Russian propaganda arm, we should consider the whole range of possibilities from:

Honestly, reading many comments from potential customers and their complaints, and then reading your answers, while me being from Colombia and knowing many developers who could benefit from your vision, I thank you.

While the others seem to care about cost-cutting to catering to their customers, you seem to also care about the developers, and this is a breath of fresh air. I hope many of my friends in Colombia will benefit from your initiative.

The idea of extending Silicon Valley level perks is the one that works in the long term. I wish you and the developers all the success.

Can someone here more up to date than I on the subject give me a good jumping off place to see the real research on vaping vs smoking nicotine?

Last I heard vaping was generally considered to be safer overall because it lacked the extra carcinogens found in cigarettes, but it came out in the wash as people tend to vape far more frequently than they used to smoke and vapes are also a more direct punch of nicotine.

I’ve heard that a pipe is probably the best way to smoke if you have to do it: Tends to have a more pleasant smell to those around you, is a much purer tobacco product, and it generally isn’t inhaled. I think pipes raise the rate of various mouth cancers though.

> it means something more specific and restricted than a general while

Sure, but that's still sugar. That's what sugar is.

Want to know something really crazy? In Rust, the `if` keyword is also just syntactic sugar over `match`. Still finding bits of grey matter on the walls from when I learned that one.
That's the 2nd point, about a gas tax holiday primarily benefitting producers because the supply of gasoline is largely inelastic. The mechanism by which it benefits producers is that they raise prices to capture the former gas tax, which consumers can do nothing about because there is no more gas supply to be had.

> The real problem with REST and HTTP is that it’s too easy to put middleware in between that doesn’t understand REST, just HTTP.

REST isn't a protocol, but a major point of REST’s direction to use the underlying protocol as specified is that if your are doing REST, middleware doesn't need to understand REST, only the underlying protocol.

And the problem here wasn't middleware that wasn't aware of REST, it was middleware that was misconfigured and requesting data from the wrong remapped URLs and relaying the responses faithfully. There was nothing failing to respect REST semantics involved.

This is true, but you'd have to show that those nightly dependencies are relatively central to the Rust dependency graph (i.e., that lots of other things depend on them). To the best of my knowledge, that's not really the case (the really central dependencies in the Rust ecosystem are things like serde, libc, anyhow, etc. that all use the stable compiler).

In my experience writing Rust professionally (including making heavy use of dependencies), I've only needed the nightly compiler once. And that was for our own code, not an external dependency.
This is so depressingly true. It's why most of my Google queries are affixed with `site:stackoverflow.com` or `site:reddit.com`. I lean on this so heavily that I've setup a couple Firefox keyword bookmarks so I can type `so <query>` or `r <query>` respectively into my address bar as a shortcut.
