> From a theoretical view, why is it a bad thing?

Because it changed longstanding behaviour for no good reason, without consulting anyone on whether they wanted it changed.

> Put another way, would you expect to get a higher bill on some cloud provider because after logout some userspace process (say, a dev server) continued to chug along?

Yes, if I instructed that user process to do so, and hadn't explicitly set something up to kill all processes on logout. 100% yes.

> I do understand Hyrum’s law and that there are legitimate programs depending on decades old hacks

It's not a hack, and it's not ignoring OS signals. HUP is explicitly a hangup, not a kill. If something keeps going after HUP, you leave it alone.

I log into a remote server and start some long compute job - why on earth should a continuing TCP connection get to be the determining factor in whether my job completes?

> But these are trivially portable

OK, but it is an effort to port, even if it's a small one, and it complicates a very simple way of working.

> some manageable breaking changes instead.

This wasn't a 'manageable' breaking change. It wasn't advertised (clearly, because the distros rolled it back when it was discovered) and it broke stuff, because the people writing the new shiny hadn't even considered that it might be a legitimate use case.

They didn't think and things broke. You don't get to paint that as innovation.
Augmented reality contact lenses feature prominently in the 2006 science fiction novel Rainbows End. The novel isn't really about the technical details of AR, but more about people living in a society in which they're able to construct mutually exclusive shared imaginary "realities", or belief circles. In some ways it predicts the divisions brought on by social networks. Also features artificial intelligence and other near future technologies.

It's written by Vernor Vinge, who wrote A Fire Upon the Deep, and its prequel A Deepness in the Sky.
It can be thought of as Go but with faster and easier C interop, and better optimization brought by Clang/GCC's -O2.

But also with nice additions like sum types, enums, string interpolation, if expressions etc. Full comparison here:

1) Forget about competitors ripping you off. It could happen, but probably won't at the start.

If you're building an SaaS for some company/client that needs, it there's almost 0% chance of them ripping you off. A bank that needs some specialized HR software is not going to start making HR software.

2) It's absolutely reasonable that customers have a hard time grasping abstractions. 'Seeing It' is a huge chunk of the story.

3) It's very valid that 'early users' will pull you in a bunch of different directions - many of them are rabbit holes, not generalizable, poorly thought out.

They will literally ask for things they don't even actually need. It happens all the time customer XYZ demands some feature, then they don't use it.

This is why it usually helps to have faced the problem yourself, you can get to an MVP that has some 'coherence' and then go from there.
YouTube finally takes action against comment spam and identity abuse
That's true.

To be honest, my comment arguably was a thread-hijacking: I was eager to take "re-rip the hundreds of CDs" literally because it's an excuse to remind the community that Soulseek exists.

I'm not involved with the project; it's just a gem on the internet which is gradually vanishing from the public consciousness.

That's pretty unfortunate, sorry that happened. I smoke flower relatively often (far less than many), twice a week for the last 3 years (date nights with my wife) and have never experienced anything like that. I have on occasion gotten into a negative thought spiral where I start to obsess on some of my perceived poor choices in life but those generally last less than 20 minutes. Generally I start to worry that I don't give my kids enough attention and resolve to do so. In reality though I consider myself a pretty good parent. Instances of this are very rare maybe once every 20 times I smoke and even then they make up only a small portion of the overall period. They are not intense and no wear near panic level, just reflective.

Unscientifically I would recommend maybe next time smoking with someone else, and getting a lower % thc, try for a hybrid strain, a mix of Sativa and Indica. If you go on the website of the dispensary it will list the details. Don't over complicate it, just choose something in the 15% range if available. Then just sit down and watch a comedy or something. Have some snacks available. Only take a couple hits and call it a day. The next week try 3 etc. Its cumulative and can sneak up on you.

Either way good luck :)

>Electricity is dangerous. In every form. Period. Keep your fingers away from it when you don't know what you do

An additional problem here is that the risks are different in different forms. Here, it sounds like people are approaching the technique based on their experiences and assumptions about mains electricity, or even car batteries.

2 kV is high enough voltage that arcing is a risk. Things they'll assume are insulators and safe, or even usable as protection, may be conductive through dielectric breakdown: in the case of wood, that's the whole point of the technique. Even air won't necessarily be safe if they're handling things so closely, especially if it's humid, in which case they could get breakdown at well over 1 mm. Meanwhile, GFCI/RCD is useless, because of the transformer.
Like I thought, this is some minor GC overhead.

Steelmanning is one of the ideas that sounds good in principle, but is usually a disaster in practice. In practice the only way I've ever seen it used was by building a straw man and then very loudly proclaiming that they're "steelmanning" while exploiting the second most stupid design flaw of the straw man.

Closely related, point two "Help to fix your opponents argument," apart from being inherently escalatory, there is a pretty good chance that your opponent just made the argument like it is supposed to be and you're just not understanding it.

Vim does provide a Python API :)

But most Vim addons seem to be written in Vimscript, and porting them to another language (which?) is a lot of work for little practical gain (for many/most addons).
I think it does apply to any extremist "prophet" on any side of the spectrum.

The way to escape, I think, is to make a conscious effort, to understand that sometimes -- even often -- you won't please your audience, and that moderation and backtracking on opinions and actions is valid and reasonable, even if your audience will consider you a fake or a flip-flopper.

Which means this is really hard. At least on the internet and for public influencers.

#batterygate was an attempt to extend the life of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s models with aged batteries by preventing unexpected shutdowns which were caused by the CPU pulling to much current when operating at high frequencies.

Apple should have been more transparent about what they were doing, but it’s difficult to argue that they were operating in bad faith. I’d wager unexpected shutdowns would result in more aggregate “unwanted” upgrades versus degraded peak performance.
You do get to choose what license you release under and people need to respect that license - ML code laundering or not.
I've summarized your stance as "real men use C on AVR".

Newer technologies such as Rust fundamentally do not solve a technical problem, but a social one. As you say, anything can already be done reliably and cheaply using existing tools and chips _provided you already know the field_. What the new tech brings in is "knowledge scalability" - one can reuse much more of their experience from non-embedded platform and focus on learning the challenges specific to the MCU environment without having to deal with the incidental complexity of low-level programming.

When talking about "Russiagate", as with the Jan 6 hearings, it's important to distinguish between things that have been proven, things that are highly plausible but have inadequate evidence, things for which no evidence has been found despite a search, and things that were never claimed in the first place.

A number of people close to Trump did have links to Russian intelligence: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/20/17031772/m... ; the most notable examples are Paul Manafort, who got years in prison, mostly for failing to pay US income tax on his bribes, and the NRA Russian spy Maria Butina.

It has not been proven that Trump was complicit in any of this, which is why he's not yet in jail.

Stay At Home Mom is a massive market segment with a lot of purchasing decision power. Long-form advertising targeted at SAHMs is nearly as old as the advertising industry itself. This is just the next iteration.

Video does particularly well with this segment (as opposed to text) because of the nature of parenting and housekeeping -- lots of time spent on your feet with busy hands and occasionally available eyes. The same reason radio/long-form podcasting is popular with truckers. Or text with office workers (relatively speaking). It's entertainment you can engage with during work hours between or during tasks.

Well, the article argues, and I agree, that a lot of it is due to psychology.

There is both a conscious and an unconscious mechanism at play here. The unconscious one is probably the more dangerous, because it's harder to control.

When someone becomes morbidly obese and risks dying because of trying to please an internet audience, it's hard to convince me there isn't a strong psychological factor at play.
I meant reactions in general, not just the reaction videos. "hey, look at this stupid video I've found" is a click as well.
That might be a reason for the reversal.

My guess is that the reasoning was that they thought they might be maintaining a mixed platform of both x86_64 and aarch64 and maybe even RISC-V indefinitely, and that this would allow app interop across all targets on all Apple OSes without fat binaries.

I could have told them that wouldn't even work well. LLVM bitcode is not really that great as an object distribution format. It's really just for use during builds.

I'd argue that Apple has skipped many opportunities to lock down the Mac, including not locking down the boot loader on the M series chips and allowing it to boot Linux or even (when supported) Windows aarch64. It's clear that they see the Mac as a pro platform and understand that pro users want flexibility.
I totally agree. We should start with the infrastructure.
A glaring example of how the advertising business model incentives lead to the worst outcomes for everyone. People working at TheSoul Publishing literally waste their lives producing straight up harmful content and the consumers either get brainrot from watching it or risk serious injury and death from replicating it.
Anecdote: I've never seen someone suffer anxiety from an Indica strain, but I have seen plenty of bad trips from Sativa strains.

Medical is legal where I live, and I like both (and hybrids) depending on what I'm doing. In the evening, I would stick to Indicas and Indica-dominant hybrids. Since I work, and I never use while working, I use Sativas far less, but I like them for weekends - walks, chores, etc.. It's a bright feeling and more of a head-high, but under the wrong circumstances, that bright feeling turns dark.

Particularly in the evening, Sativas can make you buzzy and unsettled. My gf thought she hated herbs until she tried Indicas. She knows how and when to use now, so she can enjoy Sativas under the right conditions.

Again, this is just my personal experience, but it tracks with my understanding of the strains, and I hope it's helpful to someone.
Amsterdam has lots of issues with tourists that fly in, spend a few days, cause a lot of problems, do a lot of drugs, visit one or two high profile tourist destianations (which puts an oversized burden on these few places), and then fly out.

Instead Amsterdam wants to court tourists who fly in, spend a week or two, go to many tourist destinations, spend a bit more money at many locations. It spreads it around the city/country, does less wear and tear to a few places, and makes the locals lives much nicer.
> For example, if someone is posting about something harmful the videos should remain and the person who does that should face the consequences.

Ok, so now a video is up and people are tricked by it and injure themselves in the process. Some people die. Is that an acceptable cost? Does your solution make any considerations for ongoing harm?

The Business Model of Scientific Journals
You are not alone.
Moreover, I was honestly thinking that was the way _everybody_ did it.
The Clean Air Act embodies a very specific mechanism. It gives the EPA the power to set emissions limits, but provides that those limits must be based on the capabilities of emissions reduction systems, mainly scrubbers of various sorts. And there’s different levels for new versus preexisting sources. So for a new source, the, EPA can set the limit at a level that can only be achieved with BACT (best available control technology). For an existing source, it can only set the limit at a level achievable by lesser control technology.

The thing about CO2 is that there is no control technology you can install on a plant to scrub out the CO2. That would ordinarily preclude the EPA from setting an emissions limit—because it can only set those limits based on what control technologies can achieve.

So what the EPA did was say that states could meet the emissions targets by switching from coal to renewable sources, and justified setting an emissions limit on the theory that this was an “emissions reduction system” under the statute.
Out of curiosity, what Zig features do you find useful when it comes to programming for those 8-bit MCUs with tiny flash?
Maybe I am off, but when drawing from my 25 years of consumption and trying most of variants - outdoor, indoor, low potency, extreme dutch ones and everything in between, local hash in morocco, india and nepal, homemade milk, cookies, vaping and oil vaping; eating and oil vaping are most potent to me, joint least potent and I avoid them if possible.

I don't like eating due to very long ramp up and it last for too long for casual evening, it may be great summer weekend festival item.

What I want to say - even most potent oil vapes regardless of sativa/indica/cbd mix, it was just about dosage. 1 hit was a pleasant light trip, 2 was a nice strong one, 3 really strong but manageable for simple stuff. I once had 6 draws while walking in village & forest - I really went far away form this reality, hypnotizing street lights, dancing on empty streets. Couldn't trust myself which normally never ever happens on weed. It ended up OK somehow but oh boy beware.

If one doesn't have any self control, it may cause issue - till it hits you fully (which is cca 5 mins with vape oil, unlike ie joint/pipe which is almost immediate), you may have already taken too much. But that would be the problem with hard alcohol too, there its more like 30 mins and we all have seen enough shitfaced folks in our lives who took too many shots too fast.

So education, explanation - potency, indica/sativa mixing, literally learning consumption of cannabis and products. Its not complex but it ain't primitive linear alcohol 'high' (or more like low) regardless of type of drink.

I still consider oil vapes the best product for me, chirurgically precise amount of high, very convenient, and very reproducible once you are familiar with given strain.
