> Steelmanning means that you ignore the argument your interlocuter makes, in favour of the argument you think they should have made. It runs diametrically counter to trying to 'meaningfully connect with what others are saying'.

That's not quite steelmanning.

Steelmanning means that you rephrase the argument your interlocuter makes, with your own words, until they agree that it's the same or close enough. That's what creates the connection.

The agreement is the important distinction and what creates the connection. Even if you disagree, at least there is a level of respect that comes from hearing the person out and not misrepresenting their point.

Your definition is quite close but is skipping that last step that makes all the difference.

This is a fair criticism I can get behind. But I seriously don’t understand why this football-fan like mentality is so apparent around this thread (and around many open-source programs). Thanks for the level-headed argument (and I also hope that color management will get better)
I found it interesting and useful. Much more so than this criticism which comes across as overly pedantic. It quotes various researches. It isn’t meant to be a study or paper onto itself. Anyone interested in the scientific details would lookup the publications from the people mentioned. Articles like this is to give you an overview and spark some interest among the general public.
1) be careful! The magnetic coating will flake off and you will lose the data.
Research a bit: this is a solved problem. There are chemical treatments to render the oxide coating more flexible for an attempt at reading it.

2) is there a way to avoid forcing physical contact with rubber capstans as you attempt to pass it over a magnetic play head?
Is there an alternative magnetic sensing technology you can use to extract the data vs a proximity based typical tape playback head?

I guess it was an interim measure as part of the x86_64->arm transition. Now that everything targets arm, there's no need for an intermediate representation.

My mind was blown when visiting Sweden in 2002 and finding out they pronounce "www" as "vee vee vee" (not just because the letter name double-v makes much more sense than double-u, but because they were smart enough to shorten it in this case).

Since then I've pronounced it in English as "dub dub dub" and found people generally understand it. I hope it catches on.
People have been giving Russians a hard time for using "washing machine parts" which are basically just off the shelf commodity chips. But they are sufficient for running the calculations needed.
RISC_V is getting better and better. Now we need a raspberry-pi like thing with all these goodness.

I think it exists because they have a ton of those outdated bodies and components that they would not have anything to do with.
AIUI the point of bitcode was that you submit one bitcode app, and Apple then compiles that down to per-model native apps. The last Apple Watch without 64-bit support was the gen 3, and that is no longer supported, so the use case for bitcode is gone. I expect they'll be happy to sunset that whole chunk of infra on their end.

Trams work well in the UK. Their advantage is their predictability, both in terms of how long they will be following the exact same route (rails mean this is hard to change) and their ability to remain unaffected by other traffic due to priority signals, some non-shared routes, etc.

Yes they don’t go everywhere, but in the UK we aren’t very spread out in our cities, towns and even suburbs, so it’s reasonable to expect quite a large number of people to be within walking or cycling distance of a tram stop.
Now that we have pipewire, I don't have any major problem with wayland anymore and use it on both my laptop and desktop.

Windows is the only OS I can’t stand using. It’s incredible to me that such a large company puts out an OS that feels broken and old.

I think he considers notepad.exe one of the best applications expressly because it stops Windows from restarting when he doesn't want Windows restarted, which, ironically, it presumably wouldn't do it if had Notepad++'s better-designed and usually preferable behavior. (The Notepad+Windows case seems like botches (individually user-hostile forced reboots and poor handling of state on restart for Windows and Notepad respectively) partially cancelling each other out.)
Bitcode wouldn't help with the x86-arm transition because bitcode is still architecture specific.

My guess is that maybe they don't want to maintain multiple old toolchains to provide the on-demand bitcode->native build step on the app store servers?
I never understood why use custom scripting and not one from the many already existing implementations.

My wife once bought us tickets to a cookery class. The leader, a professional chef, told us that he never minced garlic. He would take a couple of bulbs, peel the cloves, bung them in a blender with some oil, then pot up the mix and put it in the fridge for the next weeks' use.
> In fact, its a of huge benefit to fringe communities

Anything that is "fringe" doesn't move the needle in any meaningful way in terms of global quality of life. Musk companies are synonym for fringe.

You know what's not fringe? Pfizer, Moderna, Exxon, Shell, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, BP, JPMorgan, HSBC, VW, Toyota...you know the companies that you see everywhere and that everybody uses.

They have the bad habit of doing it quietly instead of monopolizing the airwaves like mr.Musk does with his empty promises about the far future and pie-in-the-sky tweets.

When you move the needle in terms of quality of life on a global scale you don't need to fool people telling about how you are gonna do so in the far future because duh you are already doing it today.
Unless missiles are raining down on your kitchen or there is a famine in your area, there's no defense for using garlic in a jar. Never. Ever. Learn how to peel and then crush, slice, and mince garlic quickly. There are a variety of techniques. Watch some videos on YouTube.

If you are desperate to save time, you may use canned tomatoes. But that should be a last resort. Fresh garlic and fresh onions are two of life's simple pleasures. Seriously.
bitcode predates that transition (which is very much still in play). watchOS and tvOS never had (consumer?) x86 versions, the bitcode thing was a workaround to having to build fat (multi-arch) binaries for more space-constrained devices like the Apple Watch and Apple TV.

That is the case for standard LLVM bitcode, Apple's own version is more finetuned and probably a reason why they are moving away from it, no longer willing to keep maintaining their fork.
It's spectacle and consumption.

It's not about the actual thing, it's how consuming it makes you feel. So if drinking one beer makes you feel cool and part of a group and another beer that tastes the same doesn't, then many people will think the first beer is authentic and more real.

In a way the author of the article is actually wanting this phantom sense of belonging and authenticity. They are looking for that feeling of buying and consuming stuff.

I am not speaking as someone working in industry but somebody with a hobby interest and as a writer. I have been looking at solutions to reach assembly to beginners. I think Things like Arduino and AVR has been great for beginners in terms of getting solutions up and running. Wiring works fine.

My issues is that I have realized that as a platform for teaching assembly it isn’t ideal. RISC-V gives a much friendlier ISA while also offering something which is realistic for modern hardware.

Given the breadth of services Github provide, forge federation using ActivityPub (and ForgeFed extensions) open standards look very promising. A whole host of projects are working on it, and among them is Gitea. They will likely be the first to federate with other instances, so you can work on remote projects from your own environment.

Here is an overview of the federation activities:

I just can't stand cheap propaganda. Yeah reeducation of muslims in a chinese provice is bad for human rights but saying this is the reason why the U.S is acting against chinese interests makes me puke.

Are we all that brainwashed? Has the U.S been unaware of the human rights atrocities commited by Saudi Arabia for the past 100 years? Why is the U.S selling weapons, accepts investments(i.e SA owns Apple stock) and hugs SA?

I understand that "simple" people want A "simple" message but I expect a more critical debate here. What's wrong just spelling the truth? i.e: China, a communist state, grown by the U.S(and not only) has become too powerful and now is threating U.S lead world domination(economically and millitary). We must strangle its power and communist influence to preserve our way of life(and our power in the world).
I think we are all grown ups here. There is no need to sell a syrupy story.

The U.S just left in a hurry the one place where it could have done something for the muslim women so spare me of the U.S concern of musslims reeducation camps in China.
The counter to this point is that if (through monetary mismanagement) the amount of dollars exponentially rises, the value of those dollers drop. Fiat isn't backed by a hard asset; it can be arbitrarily increased/decreased in value through organisations and unelected officials.

The original QE decision by the fed was taken during a meeting that has meeting notes that can be downloaded. I highly advise you to do so if you are under the illusion that the decision was made by highly competent experts basing their decisions on hard data and well-made, objective models.

Nope. The trademark people don't have some magic "Oh you didn't defend your trademark, now it's gone" feature. There is no meter somewhere measuring how "defended" your mark is, and when it reaches 0% the mark vanishes.

If you are not enforcing certain rights you have, and people come to rely on that, a court might conclude (this is called Estoppel) that you lose the ability to chase them for the violation since apparently you didn't care. But you don't magically lose your ability to chase other people, nor to chase people for trampling on other rights that you do care about. You get to draw the line.

The excuse that "We have to or we'd lose our trademark" is bullshit and people should be called on it when they try it.

The closest is they'll cite examples like Hoover and Xerox where a name mark became so incredibly famous that it was synonymous with the whole class of object and courts ruled that as a result you could not assume when somebody says "Xerox this for me" they're referring to the protected mark any more. These companies, far from "losing" their trademark, instead are huge successful businesses who still have their marks but are not allowed to extend those marks into our whole lives. If you put a Xerox brand on knock-off copiers or printers don't worry, they still have a trademark, they will still sue and they will still win.
> It offered FM radio using the headphone cables as an antenna.

That was common on phones in general. Headphones acted as antenna.

If you open the FM radio app without connecting wired headphones, it'll ask you to connect it.

This was common in Android phones as well.

My current Android phone does not have headphone jack. And I can't use FM radio (although there are services that play radio over the internet, but that isn't really the same...).

------

About phones which have the capability but which are disabled, I wonder if it's because of security implications.

Where I live, the allowed frequencies were from 87 MHz to 108 MHz or something. Consumer FM radios could only be tuned in this range.

That's because on frequencies outside this range, other transmissions — for example, police transmissions — might be taking place.

The aforementioned allowed range is different in different countries.

Also, in my country long long ago (like, ≈50 years ago) you needed to get the permission of the government (via a license or something) to get a radio. You couldn't just go to a store and buy one. That changed later, however.

Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with semi-secret transmissions happening on frequencies outside the allowed range.

A friend told me it's possible to take apart the radio and tune to non-standard frequencies because in most radios the "dial" to select the allowed range really works by physically jamming the dial with another block. If you remove that block, you could keep turning that dial. Haven't tried this myself, so take that with a pinch of salt.
> cheap

> well developed

> reliable

Speaking as a guy in Europe where we generally have "good" public transport, I think you can only ever have ONE of those at the same time, with some exceptions.

Cheap fares? You get decrepit busses from the 80s and the timetable's just a suggestion (what my city used to have)

Well developed? Development isn't cheap so fares get expensive, busses are Mercs that run on CNG and the timetable's still just a suggestion - but you get live boards showing arrival times at least (what my city has today)

Reliable? You'll have to go to Switzerland or Japan to experience that, no other place truly has it. And those places aren't cheap... but they would count as having well developed route networks, so 2/3 for them I suppose.

Maybe the author should try James May's cooking show/book[1]. It's a decidedly anti-snob take on cooking, with a focus on amateurs ("You wouldn't be reading this if you knew how to cook") and convenience, unabashedly using low class preserved ingredients that last forever in storage (spam, alphabet pasta).

> it kind of falls apart

I'd like to point out that the editor is barely a year old and I'm working on it entirely during my free time. It takes time to sort out all the issues and provide excellent support for all languages. I primarily write Rust and Go so those are guaranteed to work well.

It's hard to do tree-sitter query based indentation with space based languages, because the indent has semantic meaning and the AST node is invalid until indentation is typed out. We do have a potential solution (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/763#issuecommen...), it just needs someone to go and implement it.

I don't consider tree-sitter niche though. Outside of VSCode it's widely adopted, but yes it's probably too soon to only rely on tree-sitter with no fallback. Of course we do implement fallback behaviours too: we try to use tree-sitter first, then provide a simpler fallback for cases where there's no grammar available (or like in this case, it's not a great fit).

Edit: this has prompted me to switch python to the fallback algorithm for now https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/9ae70cc410bd042...

I like my MX mouse though I wish I could customize the buttons better without installing their software.

I watched Persi give a talk where he demonstrated this trick, as part of a lecture on ways to use finite field theory to find de Bruijn sequences.

I hadn't seen Persi in a while; we'd written the "seven shuffles" paper together. Catching up, I asked him privately afterwards why he didn't use a sequence where two bits encoded the suit, then three bits encoded the card. He grinned wildly, then pulled out a spare deck to establish this was indeed what he had actually done. The spare deck was wrong. He joked how he dodged a bullet not using that deck.

That evening I burst out laughing in a solemn moment of an earnest modern dance performance. This was embarrassing, to say the least. I had recalled that Persi had shuffled the deck once as part of his demonstration of the trick. He's a legendary magician one rarely sees performing. Perfect shuffles were easy for him.

Impersonal blasts are done, and ephemeral stories are still common but becoming less broadly viewable as well and maybe on the way out. Its all groupchats, that you’re not in.

0 post instagram accounts are common in my circles, its still a fair assumption to assume they archived all their old photos as opposed to deleting them or never having any, but 0 post and story exclusive accounts (only create “stories” that are visible for 24 hours) are a fine way to interact. Just to be able to view your stories and send DMs. And many don't really engage with the stories, but maybe do more “close friends” stories that only a whitelisted group can see, even if the profile was already private.

Its really more like hybrid of Snapchat and Tiktok now, and you need to make closer friends yourself. The network part about finding “people you met once” or “15 years ago” is done, people want more genuine connections right now, its going to leave lonely people in the dust if it hasn't already, but there are ways to take initiative yourself by adding a few people to your close friends list.

This is how people are getting their engagement with real human beings, far better than status updates on a wall ever did. The latter would actually be a weird thing to me right now.
