The methodology is interesting, though I'd simply call it "thematic
analysis". Psycholinguistics is much more complex than trigram
frequency though, as simple spam filtering proves. I suppose the
schtick here is "Big Data", with a corpus that earlier researchers
could never approach "by hand".

I didn't find much new here at the conceptual level. This is what
"Zeitgeist" means, and many epochs have been characterised as joyous
or depressive.

However the framing of the study is important for me, because I
broadly agree with the hypothesis that we are in a depressive epoch.
In fact we are in an interregnum, which themselves go through phases
in the gap between "a world that is dead and one still waiting to be
born".

Why might the psyche of the Anglosphere be battered more than other
groups or nations? Sure, we've had industrial revolution, slavery, two
world wars, decades of proxy wars, environmental and financial
disasters... but is our lot any worse than the long suffering people of
Russia, China or Africa who carry traumatic histories?

I would argue that what ails "the West" is a loss of sense of positive
future. That is actually a symptom of clinical depression too. The
Fukuyaman conceit of the "end of history" is actually a dark and
troubling stuckness. For me the prevalence of words like "inevitable",
"ubiquitous" and "inescapable", especially around technology, are
markers of a profound loss of creative vision and optimism.
Apple sells less smart phones than Samsung. Yet Apple is the most valuable company in the world and Samsung isn’t even in the top ten.

So while I think what your claim matters little as it relates to the value of the company I also think your assertion that this or that company will sell more EV’s than Tesla any time soon is more likely that not wrong.
We need those good cops to be actually saying something though. It's not like bad police operate in a vacuum, they go on patrols with the good cops. The good cops know all of the bad cops.

Yamanote Line frequency in Tokyo is about every 2 minutes.
They aren't. They are doing the exact opposite. The original version is free to continue as it pleases, free of annoying disruptions.

This process is literally the most fair and least offensive thing possible, and yet people still try to make it some kind of wrongdoing.

If they had tried to alter the original project to suit themselves, you would have said "they can just fork if they don't like it"

So what you're really saying is they should just shut up and like whatever already exists and neither change it to suit themselves, NOR go off and make their own thing. I have some bad news, saying that is about 1000x more offensive than forking something.

There is just not one tiny microscopic shred of validity to this line of thinking.
> good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box.

I remember knowing that if I got an IBM ThinkPad, it probably had good Linux driver support.

I still make the assumption that Lenovo ThinkPads have better Linux driver support because hackers prefer them. But I honestly have no idea if that's true any more.
Allegedly. It's shameful that people throw around unproven claims on social media like this, and in their second breath will complain about disinformation coming from people they don't like.
You can choose which zero you want when you download the font package. What's inconsistent about this?
The company I work for has had (for many years) an internal feed mechanism, where you can create groups and posts, like and reply, etc.

Post COVID, 99.99% of the company is using Teams for quick sync chats, WhatsApp for company broadcasts, and email for longer term async chats. We're probably going to deprecate the feed mechanism.

My takeaway is unless your solution is so compelling that it will draw people away from these existing platforms and the network effect that draws them into them, its not worth the effort.
IMO ligatures makes it easier to recognize common symbols used in programming languages and also doesn't affect readability much. Maybe I am younger, but I don't see the problem here.
Wait a minute...

I disabled Javascript (with an extension and by setting it off from the browser's settings) and it's perfectly readable.
My bet is on this.

They will just negotiate. Nobody wants to go through a lengthy legal process.

I think the number will be at 5b. Because, at 5b, Twitter gets a 1y revenue for virtually no cost. Twitter doesn't want to sell to a buyer who doesn't actually want to buy. It's not good for anyone.

Imagine Musk buying Twitter and starting open up exec emails knowing about the bot numbers being inaccurate.
It's the Google N-grams dataset. It covers all the books that Google has scanned in their corpus, which, as I understand it, is virtually every book that's been published in the 20th century (at least for English).

I agree that this might just be measuring increasing informality in published works.
Is this local transit? It is England so practically everything feels like local transit, right? It is better than what we have, sure but it isn’t as impressive as long distance routes.

> The schedule offers trains every 3 to 5 minutes on the most used sections during rush hours. During other traffic periods, intervals range usually from 4 to 12 minutes or up to 20 minutes on outer sections. During late nights, only selected express services are operated and all late-night services usually run every 20 minutes.

The title feels a bit bait-y to me. As the author points out in the post, the issues stem from social media as a whole. The federated nature of the particular implementation has little to do with the harmful behaviours social media can draw out.
Bad UI? Criminal UI! I often have to stop using any software other than my development tools because consumer UI design is so riddled with dark UI patterns I get far too emotional about the mass deception I see taking place.

Software UI design is a legal frontier waiting to be cracked, and many corporations-as-people are going to jail and/or be shut down when this train gets rolling. Back when Prohibition had bathtub gin making people blind is the same type of crap taking place today with fraudulent and simply stupidly designed user interfaces.

Everything I shared is from my own personal experience with using desktop Linux. Obviously your experience is going to be different from mine, as that depends on what software we use and what distro we pick.

That said. Bluetooth works as expected on my hardware. Clipboard sharing works as well, there was a time it was missing on gnome terminal but can't say am scratching my head about that one today.

Can't say I've see folder bookmarking across different file managers, even on Windows. You have to point me to examples here.

Telling a user how to reasonably fix a problem trump's whatever misconceptions you have about desktop Linux. They can always put Linux down and use whatever operating system works best for them, if they don't want to try alternative solutions.
Very misleading to include hybrids in “EV sales”.
I find Jetbrains Mono to be a pleasant font, but I like Iosevka more. Just an opinion.
I don’t know any devs that reach for Webpack over Vite on purpose these days. Bun is amazing though. I hope we get more of the js/ts ecosystem running on something as insanely fast as Bun. First class Typescript and bundler support in a wicked fast runtime… love it!
Not regenerative brakes. Only friction brakes work that way.
Older drivers seem not to know this, in my experience at least.
No you can’t. You can only frequencies within the allocated spectrum for amateur radio. And it must be for the specific purpose of emergency comms. And that’s not universally true everywhere.
Would've helped a lot if they'd upzoned near transit, so people would actually live next to it instead of parking lots and SFH. Eventually SB50 will come back and do it, hopefully.

There's also VTA, which guessed completely wrong about where people would move to and so goes from MTV to nowhere.
It’s not a case of a simple disagreement though. In this situation there’s a court order requiring you to pay the bill. Not wanting to doesn’t cut it.
They can force Musk to sell his other assets to complete the deal.
Here's a side-by-side, mono and a proportional typeface I edited for camelCase readability. It has a 1/3 space to the left of the caps. I call it VerdanaCamel:

The only cons I see is that it doesn't align to columns, but that should be a rendering feature on modern IDEs.

Numeric types are weird in Java and .net. I'm more familiar with C#, but in C# adding two int's result an int, but adding two short's also result in an int. So addition is not polymorphic the way you would expect it to be. C# has a large number of numeric types, but below the hood it only supports arithmetic operations on three of them.

The problem is not with the implementation of generics per se, the problems is numeric types in those languages is a really leaky abstraction.
Do Linux distros support hiDPI including mixed DPI (e.g. with a hiDPI laptop screen and a low DPI external one) well ? Under macOS this works really fine, under Windows this is half garbage.
The quality of news generally is just awful. You could pick a newspaper from any day of the year and you'll have the same articles: crime, soccer, some hardly disguised ad for a new movie, etc.

There's no reason to read it.

TV news is also highly ritualistic. Why do they mention the stock exchanges every day? It's not really information, and those who care about it already know.
I didn’t realize you could choose a particular consistent zero. I just kept seeing arbitrary zeroes on subsequent lines of one single example text block without that context.
Hard disagree. There is a difference between there being a transaction (labour in exchange for money) and it being purely transactional.

Take a haircut for instance, it is transactional (you exchange money for a haircut) but often people stick with the same hairdresser for years - e.g. because they have a relationship, have built trust, and often have built a friendship e.t.c. and similarly hairdressers seem to enjoy having these bonds both with their repeat customers and their coworkers. Hairdressers could always work in silence in single-customer booths on their own, but they always seem to be together and chat to each other and customers in the open. This isn't purely transactional - there is a formed culture here "i.e. 'the way we do things is that we chat and have fun while we cut hair'"

In a work context:

The best performing companies and teams typically have a deep sense of culture and shared-purpose. There is a reason why corporate vision/mission/values are created - because they are effective tools to drive large organizations together in a cohesive way.

I personally find that there is a huge personal difference working on a team that has great bonds and a great culture vs a team that doesn't. Working on a team without a sense of belonging and without great relationships with my coworkers sucks for me personally.

Now someone might say "well you can still form relationships with coworkers remotely" - in which case that IS culture and something more than transactional, the argument is just that this is much more difficult to form with everyone being remote.
The point of HiDPI is not having really small text, is doubling the scaling so text looks smooth instead of a pixelated, blocky mess.

I thought it was a gimmick in 2015 before I got my first MBP, these days I can't go back and have my eyes bleed on 96 dpi. You don't even need full Retina, my 27" 4K screen looks gorgeous at double scaling.

>150 dpi monitors are the second best tech upgrade of this millennium after the SSD. Yet, there's still people these days that will try to convince you their 5400 rpm disk is fast enough, just because they have never experienced modern hardware.
A few minuten to exit the station and a 10 minute walk (who lives next to a station?) do not seem unusual or badly designed to me. Can you park your bike at the station?
I think, ultimately, there are only 3 possible explanations for the paradoxes of the quantum world. 1) superdeterminism (everything including our choices in quantum experiments today were fully determined at the instant of the Big Bang), 2) something "outside" our observable reality acting as a global hidden variable (whether something like the bulk in brane cosmology or whatever is running the simulation in simulation theory) or 3) emergent spacetime (if space and time are emergent phenomena then locality and causation are not fundamental).
Is "cognitive distortions" a standard term? I thought those were the dungeons in Persona 5.
its like the lifeline of east london, and it connected large aread of land that used to be borderline slums. Now there are highriae apartments and the fact that they have access to piblic trandport has increased their valuation by billions.
Stories like this remind me why I hate seeing advice on forums that often boil down to…”and if that doesn’t work, just sue them.“ It’s a massive, risky, expensive, physically and emotionally draining experience.

You are not running a $30b company.

At work, I was involved in a deal with a large company. The numbers are back and forth like 10 times with adds-on and discounts. It's just standard stuff.
Okay if the issue was his access being rate-limited, then what's the issue now that it no longer is? So Musk is able to actually find the evidence he needs now right?
> thereby inducing a bias toward more recent language. We observe increases of CDS n-gram prevalence well above levels predicted by this null model

I don't get why this would work? I get the null model predicting a bias X, and I guess they have a greater bias X + Y, but I don't see how that handles their choice of cognitive distortion signifiers being biased? I mean isn't it likely their choice of signifiers matches to Y?
Honestly the Baofeng is mostly fine. Just use it. 90% of it is elitism. The harmonic suppression of the transmitter is crap which is the issue but the radiated power is constrained by the antenna so not usually a problem unless you’re testing it in a lab. Most of the problem is just sinophobia.

If you want something actually with decent capability then the Yaesu FT818 is a good bet. It does all amateur bands, UHF, VHF, airband, FM broadcast all modes. But it costs money.

I’m not an active ham anymore but I keep an 818 around.

As for why I’m not a ham anymore, spend some time with some hams and you will get the idea.
I think this is a personal preference rather than a 'it just can not do it' situation.

Been programming for decades on 1080p and before 1080 on 1024. My eyesight is quite bad (-5.85) and i can see perfectly fine on 1080p. Sure 2k or 4k might be better. But thats true for 8k as well.
IIRC there’s just a $1B penalty in the acquisition clause for Musk if the transaction doesn’t go through.
This is solved well in Wayland, with X11 this is not as straight forward. Wayland comes with some other issues though.
Perhaps people turn away from this stuff because people claiming to be Christians don’t act like Christians? That whole love-one’s-neighbour, turn-other-cheek snd all that. Maybe they’re all really very conservative Jews, as they cite the Old Testament a lot? Yet they mix fabrics and love their bacon…

Or, maybe they’re just people who hate the Others and act on it? Decades ago, it was dogs and Irish, now…

There really should be a big investment in an anti-regulatory capture organization the way there are anti-trust lawyers and privacy czars.

Which would have the dual purpose of employing researchers and public outreach and have powers to stop hires, limit grants/subsidies, and collaborates with with anti-trust.

But who are we kidding, politicians never bite the hands that feed them.

17 says Wikipedia, but the information might be out of date. See [1].

The existing quad-track line carries 15 trains per hour [2], and is full, but this is because it carries trains of varying speed -- express passenger trains, commuter/regional trains and freight.

Standards mean you can share track maintenance tools, track maintenance is obviously required, but some of the processes need very expensive tools that bart needs for only a few weeks per year.

Standards also mean you can buy standard parts instead of getting something custom made. This can greatly reduce costs as mass manufacturing is only cheap when there is a mass needed. (At least Bart choose a guage in use elsewhere so there is some demand for those parts).

Standard means CA HSR or Caltrain could share less used track which can save everyone money. (It makes scheduling hard, but that is a lot cheaper than building track) who knows, maybe freight rail would use that track for some low demand customers they can't serve at all now, and trains are more environmentally friendly than trucks.

Cheap 2006 laptop? Would have been 768p at best, maybe even 600p. Even Apple would happily sell you an 800p macbook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_(2006%E2%80%932012)) until 2012 and laptop GPUs of the era would struggle with a 1080p desktop.

Its more coffee break entertainment to me. Its not well designed for anything else. You can get some decent feedback on what you have built or something you are thinking about from the tech crowd here. Beyond that not much.

No one goes to the library and worries about not reading all the books on every shelf. Why? Cuz the library isnt broadcasting random psuedo signals of what's important, that change randomly from hour to hour like HN or reddit do.
These sites are designed to draw a crowd. Sort of like a fair ground with all its sounds and lights. Take a stroll. Have a chuckle and get back to work.

If you are working on a specific problem the news and banter around here matters even less, cause you will have specific needs, and are going to get better and more specific info to satisfy those needs just googling.

It's when people don't have anything to do, is when these attention capture sites swallow them up.
How do you prove they cannot pay you - show an unpaid invoice?
I wouldn't even call it philosophy. It's more psychology or anthropology because you're studying emotional responses of the human species. If a serial killer feels that killing for fun is morally right and builds an ethical system on top of those feelings, is that philosophy?
This sounds very much like "records are purer than digital", which to my knowledge has been shown to be nonsense. I get that's not a perfect analogy but:

If all lenses are identical, why should I buy your product: I could be wrong but last time I checked there's a hell of a lot more to a camera than just the lens. There's a bunch mechanics: the lens housing, the sensor, etc. But also simple device ergonomics, etc which I suspect (as a non-photographer) are more important in reality.

The distortion due to non-cleanness or what have you: as long as I have been aware of photographers as a profession (vs. hey I take pictures from time to time) I have been aware of physical filters, and straight up vaseline on the lens. Is that not a thing anymore?

All the pictures will look the same: I mean yes, but that is essentially true - what distinguishes "I take pictures" from "I get paid for my pictures" is timing, composition, positioning, etc. People would not pay hundreds-thousands for a wedding photographer if they could borrow/rent a good camera and have a friend be the photographer.

It sounds very much like if a painter were to argue mass produced oil paints were undermining oil paints by removing the variation in paint vs artisanally produced hand blended linseed+random toxic chemical paints.

Eventually I gave up and walked to the library instead, discovering 500 other people in the same situation sharing the wifi.
