You need multiple cases of duplication (repeating yourself) before you can infer a reusable piece of code.

If you make everything as generic and reusable as possible from the beginning, you'll end up with messy code that has way too much options to set for every simple operation.

Whether it’s bank balances or pitchforks, the result is a conflict. Whether both parties are able to delegate judgement to a higher power determines the type of resolution. In the case where parties recognize a higher power it can be resolved without true violence (bloodshed)
Training wheels aren't a prerequisite for learning to ride a bike and they're not typically separate thing from a bike. They're bolted onto a bike and then removed when they're no longer necessary. I learned how to drive a car in an automatic, I learned how to use a stick shift in a manual car. Pretending like a car with a manual transmission or an automatic transmission as completely different concepts is disingenuous. There are skills transferrable between learning the two, otherwise known as learning how to drive a car. Similarly, if I wanted to learn to drive a large semi, knowing how to drive a car has transferrable skills.

> They are shielding themselves from "real" Vim.

Define "real" vim.

> The config they use not only hides Vim behind dozens of plugins but also adds a few new concepts to the mix that they are forced to learn _on top_ of Vim's ones. What a waste.

It doesn't hide Vim behind anything. Extensibility is baked into Vim and a great deal of effort has been put into ensuring that it can be extended to suit people's needs. One of the largest changes in Vim 9 was working on increasing the capabilities and speed of Vim9 script. Whether someone writes their own config, doesn't use one, or uses a premade configuration like SpaceVim, they're still using Vim.

They trade time learning SpaceVim's paradigms in exchange for not having to configure vim themselves which means they can spend more time learning how to use Vim for getting work done rather than faffing about with plugins and designing their own keybinding schemes. If SpaceVim completely eschewed Vim paradigms for its own you might have a point but that's not the case. It very much adheres largely to how Vim itself works while making it easier for someone to get up and programming.
I hope you are right and this is not just a big step in the wrong direction, just because it sounds so stupid (Neuspreching burning Gas to Green energy is nothing but that)
I’ve been using https://brain.fm for years. Super nice to just be able to infinitely generate background noise for working, relaxing, meditating or whatever
Wow, this insight really helps. Thanks for the pointers!
This is really nice - thanks for posting!
This is for people who happen to like the “space” setup already. Not for people who just want some random configuration.

What’s the difference between someone who uses vanilla, unconfigured Vim and someone who uses unconfigured SpaceVim? Merely that one of them likes vanilla Vim and the other one likes SpaceVim. What’s the problem with not configuring things if you don’t want or have to?

Also the mock quotation thing is way overdone around these parts, jeez.

These are parallel branches of the same language family, along with Haskell. They are relatively popular but I can't say they flourish.

Besides, SML always was the cleanest and most consistent of the bunch. Which kind of supports my point: it's not always the best language that wins.
Do you wonder about how type promotion rules work in C3? If so then I can explain them as they differ somewhat from C. The reason for not using bitsize numbered types is readability e.g. `for (i8 i = 8; i > 0; i--)`
Nah, bro. We're modern.
It's already been brought up by many others, but proof of purchase is not the issue here, right? It's the right to access the content. NFTs don't force Sony to give you your content if they're not legally obliged to.
I really hate Sony.

I had a Sony Bravia TV for several years, and bought it because it came with a "Netflix compatible" sticker.

Netflix however wasn't really compatible from the get-go, and they promised it would work in the next upgrade. I wasn't in US/EU so simply returning it wasn't possible.

They kept promising it would work in the next upgrade, and I would upgrade, even though each time it was making the TV incredibly sluggish.

Eventually five or six years passed and the TV stopped receiving upgrades and it never had Netflix.
I would actually say morally it is clear cut in the opposite direction. Imagine you hack into a company or a government computer and steal secrets. That is clearly illegal.

Now imagine you figure out how to do the hack, do all the preparation, and sell it ready to use to somebody. And they are open about the fact that they are selling it to foreign powers. This should definitely be illegal, too. In the physical world, you also probably shouldn't be able to go around and sell instructions how to break into cars or houses.

> If you don't believe me, just imagine yourself describing the pseudocode of an exploit to someone over the phone - or sketching out the details of a vulnerability in a short note.

I don't see how any of this would be effected. You could still do hacking, security research, you could get bug bounties, report bugs to the vendor, the government, or even disclose them to the public. You just shouldn't be allowed to sell that kind of information to a third party.

There are many laws like that right now. In the case of insider trading, you are not allowed to share certain nonpublic information against some benefit with others.
> Yeah I'd hate having District heating. A friend had this in the past and she couldn't even regulate it.

Interesting because I could regulate mine after all the radiators were replaced around 20 years ago.

And I kind of had to because the workers installing them made a mistake and I got the radiator meant for the living room, so it was grossly oversized for the space it heated.

That being said it's usually mandatory to keep them at least half-open considering that the heat is shared with other apartments.

I now live in a building from the early 90s and the knobs are all functional but I don't use them because the city pumps heat according to the weather outside.
The Tuxedo Pulse 2 looks amazing. They really addressed all of the complaints we had (purchased at the beginning of the year for our company).

I still have minor nitpicks with it, but those pale in comparison with the display port upgrade they did.
How about specifying its about hydrogen and hydrogen _only_ in the EU resolution then? Is it because its really about whats being pumped over Nord Stream? Lets face it, this resolution has Schroder/Scholz fingerprints all over it.

Vector types are built in, which you can do operations on, e.g.

float[<4>] y = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
float[<4>] z = { 2, 2, 2, -100 };
float[<4>] w = y + z;

It's not completely fleshed out with builtins yet, but will be.
Yeah, I also use VIM bindings in VS Code and love it. When I'm at my desk, in the zone, writing code, my hands pretty much don't leave the keyboard. But when I'm leaning back, browsing through files, etc. I just need to press 'i' once and I have a "normal" IDE.

I couldn't imagine not being able to hover my cursor over something to read its type definitions, cmd+click to go into whatever I'm clicking on, etc.

Sometimes I see one of those videos of a fully tricked out NeoVIM and it looks tempting, but I know I wouldn't actually like it.
You are 2 people, one with a bunch of skills to offer a new job and another with in depth knowledge at the current company. You could refuse to use those skills in your current company, but that's a big part of the value you represent in that orginisation. You could move somewhere else. I think if you want to stay you have to accept that people will ask you questions, but maybe if you move to another area/role they will diminish over time.

The amount of helpfulness you show when people ask your questions will determine the amount of new questions you get :-)

You should try emacs with evil (you may start with Spacemacs). Evil-mode is the best vim emulation layer I’ve ever seen in any editors except vim.
Well said.

Attribution is important but it's impossible to know all the literature that is out there and even when you've tried your best to seek out prior arts there is always a possibility that you've missed something or not understood the connection with something previously read. Heck even when something is similar you may not cite it since it's so old the relevance is no longer there for a working research paper.

I've always thought that Schmidhuber was toxically uncharitable - what is the point of accusing and blaming? If someone has a similar idea to mine I'd celebrate them, seek to collaborate and encourage. Wouldn't that mean your research program is getting advanced for free! Heck you should thank them for doing your work for you.

What??
"De-nuclearization of other European countries" - Germany should mind its own business.
Yes, it could. In product teams, this could be feature requests whatever the source of that is. Ultimately, there is someone who is responsible for flagging that the arrival rate of tickets/PRs is higher than what the system can handle without compromising on service time W (and indirectly customer experience L). So, it could be a product manager too.

No different than a triage nurse (the field from where the term originated).

Deciding what practical action to take such as increasing the overall system capacity, managing the customer's expectation, doing nothing and taking a hit on service time etc., is then a business call.
I think Facebook consumed non-monetized life activities. So instead of doing free things IRL, people started browsing and scrolling. So it was zero sum for attention but not for economic value.

I think Zuckerberg was right in that Facebook didn’t take market away from others, they created a new market. At least 12 years ago.
This is not even contestable. Google and FB took the advertising money from everyone else. Businesses still pay (and always have) the same % in advertising, only it's 2 monopolies now instead of thousands of media.
That is a great chart - if looked at carefully, especially when comparing to the rig count, which had a huge drop at the start of the pandemic but has been steadily increasing for a couple years... it is clear the the reduced output is not due to slowing of drilling, but to the steeper decline of output from non-traditional wells (fracking, horizontal drilling, etc.) The engineers in the oil & gas industry were predicting this eventuality back in 2009 when I was working on an app in that arena.

The main reason I point this out is to make sure people realize that "America is reducing its energy output" is political rhetoric and not productive to the conversation. The reality is that our oil & gas output is not sustainable in the long-term no matter where your politics fall, and we need new solutions.
Where is the typo? And the usefulness of your comment?
Unlike a normal receipt, a well built NFT is virtually unforgeable and uncloneable, even by the receipt-issuing entity.

This changes the trust model significantly, so that different legal principles can be applied. So the download access from the "legally acceptable archive for proven owners" could be automatic, fast and secure, without depending on a single company (eg Visa or Sony) to uphold their side in perpetuity, and allowing multiple download services to be legally in the clear, because they are enforcing contractually agreed checks.

No human in the loop to check your receipt (which costs), cheap automatic fast and secure service, no single company database that has to be trusted to authorise your access once you have obtained the receipt, and (if the rules are so designed) no further access once you have settled a transfer to another person.

For technical reasons that automation can distributed so that it is highly available, decentralised so that download and effective ownership is not managed by one company that might backpedal. And because of the changed legal relationship (ie no court would consider it piracy if legit terms are agreed in the contract) it could, potentially, be legally safe to operate high quality service.

There would still be risk of fraud (you transfer your receipt because someone tricked you), and some people will be disappointed m that DRM would be technically possible even when decntralised (the guaranteed access might be access to something you can stream but not save).

I am not particularly a crypto enthusiast (despite working in the field, currently zk-EVM if anyone's interested) but I think this idea of NFT-guaranteed access to data which is authorised by conventional consumer contracts has a lot going for it. It would solve the Sony problem.
Frankly no. I don't mean to denigrate, but Phoronix is generally not seen as all that great a source of good journalism. He did say he at least tried to confirm this news however.
By your criteria no language that has survived to now will disappear without a major global calamity. Effectively, latin is a not a language for a native speaker that wants to go through their life and leave future native speakers.

Regarding Icelandic, I know little about it except that it has a lot of non-ANSI if written properly. I already know many latin language dialect speakers that developed their behavior when the limits of SMS unicode were significantly smaller than ANSI, with long term repercussions. I'm not sure why facts like that would need to be in the article to discuss here?
> We have seen with MP3 that this can work, just in that case the MP3 itself was used as the ownership token to move content to other services.

In the early 2010s or so, companies like Amazon, Google Play Music, etc briefly offered the ability to scan your MP3 collection to instantly get access to your music via their library as a way to suck you into your ecosystem.

It was neat, but all of these services have since switched off because it was just a means to get you hooked on their platform. It all went away because there was no on-going business case to support it . Now all that remains are a few scattered "digital locker" services where you are just streaming your own files back to yourself instead of using them to unlock a music library. Otherwise, you are locked into replacement streaming platforms with the same limitations as before.

The point is that NFTs solve a problem that already has other solutions - keeping track of who paid for something is relatively easy. The hard part is actually providing the product that was purchased in perpetuity. NFTs don't yet have an answer to the harder part of the problem that is profitable for a business.

‘Your Map Is Wrong’ – P2P.AI

On stage with John Battelle and Tim O’Reilly at the 2010 Web2.0 Summit, Mark Zuckerberg stared at the Summit backdrop, that had a map with various consumer technology areas that have been ‘conquered’, charted out. “Your Map is Wrong,” Zuckerberg said. “The biggest part of the map has to be uncharted territory — this map makes it seem like it’s zero-sum, but it’s not. We’re building value, not just taking it away from someone else.” (Source)

“It is not a zero-sum game” is something we tend to forget as we start competing in the marketplace. There is this beauty of economics – you don’t have to make anyone poorer in order for you to become richer. Wealth is not a fixed pie (PG).

Steve Jobs famously said that there is no point in asking the customer what they need because they wouldn’t know until it is given to them. That is classic uncharted territory. None of us knew we needed Steve’s devices until they were given to us.

The next time you look at a map, look for the uncharted territory. Without that, your view of the map is most definitely wrong.
That is true. But keep in mind two things: first, the robot does not have to be fully autonomous, and second, maintaining a human in space is so expensive that we already have such robots. Just look at Curiosity and its cousins.
So your refactor broke the tests, so you assumed the tests must be wrong.
A better formulation of DRY is SPOT (Single Point Of Truth). Definitions (code, data) that represent the same “truth”, i.e. when one changes all have to change to represent a consistent truth, should be reduced to a single definition. For example, if there is a rule that pizzas need at least one topping, there should only be a single place where that condition is expressed, so that when the rule changes, it isn’t just changed in one place but not the others. Another example is when fixing a bug, you don’t want to have to fix it in multiple places (or, more likely, neglect to fix it in the other places).

That can be easily extended to anything you search. I have searched how to make a bomb on the internet. Should that put me on some list? Of course not. The mass surveillance was implemented by borderline senile old and fearful people that easily get overextended when it comes to modern communication. None of this security theatre has made anyone safer, on the contrary the constant suspicion slowly decreases trust and will have the opposite effect in the long run.

This is incredibly short-sighted. Soviets pulling out of Eastern Germany, the collapse of the GDR, the Warsaw Pact, the USSR has very little to do with the energy imports. One might even argue that the USSR would collapse economically even earlier if not for all the currency it got from oil and gas sales.

he is right in a way that makes it hard to see what facebook is turning into profit: the users attention.

sure they are creating a space without taking away volume for other people to build there, but nobody will care about the other things because a proper map of the internet is not concerned with what is there, but what a given user spends their attention on.
Reading some Schmidhuber's writings on this issue is a great way to learn the history and development of AI and ANN's that is often missed. At the same time Schmidhuber's tone and anal-retentive attitude explains why he is considered so annoying.

The field is full of huge egos and overly simplified narratives from a singular point of view.

For example, it's true that Hinton was a torchbearer of neural networks for several decades and was off mainstream. That gives him well earned legendary status. But it's also true that other methods worked better until early or mid 2000s and had more rigorous theory behind it (theory behind older methods is still better, nn is still mostly experimenting and wandering). Hinton also had position and funding to do pioneering research and collect students all over the world. I remember reading his product of experts paper as a student in 2002 when I worked with boosting and bagging, so clearly he was not completely out of sight.
Better text rendering is the main advantage. This means that you can set text sizes smaller and have a lot more usable screen real estate.
