This is such an artificial/politically generated problem too. I used to live in Tennessee and there were several cities with gigabit internet that was created by public funding. Chattanooga did this but was blocked from providing access to those that were in unincorporated areas. Even though the city still provided these people other utilities (electricity, water, gas) and mail. Same thing happened in Tullahoma (city next to where Bonnaroo Music Festival is). Then I remember Google Fiber trying to come in but the state had a law where lines needed to be placed in certain areas (which were of course in use) and that one operator could not lay down lines unless there was a representative from those that already had lines in place (supposedly to protect property). But this obviously led to shenanigans. Similarly when I moved into an apartment I chose the faster city internet but the previous tenant had AT&T. When the utilities company came to turn on my fiber (as they had provided for the apt previously) they found that AT&T had slashed their line, which caused me to have to pay an instillation fee. For a state where the people were so proud and supportive of libertarianism and the free market there sure were a lot of laws that supported or enabled monopolies to run a muck.

There are clearly available solutions and there's room for markets to exist and provide competition but it is very clear that we've set up a system that enables the unregulated monopolistic actions of ISPs.

I completed the program in 2018. I'm glad I did. It was a tremendous amount of work and I was already working full time with a lengthy commute and family commitments. Pretty much every minute of my weekends and 10pm-12pm most week nights. I had to do maybe 3 all-nighters when schedules didn't line up. Some of the classes are much harder than others and should be taken by themselves. Other classes are less demanding and you can 2x or 3x. The video lectures tend to be very well made. Some of the classes make extensive use of Piazza - which I grew to loath. The assignments can be challenging but also sort of fun. Each class is different though. You're welcome to email me at gmail or yahoo if you have specific questions.
Not everyone loves rust.

I don’t love rust. I think rust has some fair critiques to be made of it.

It’s not, and never has, or (probably) will be the answer to all problems.

Don’t use it just because it’s popular; why are you trying to use it, and what are you using instead?

I’ll eat my hat if you can convince me that rust is more of a pain in the ass than c++. I think cpp is a stupid broken ecosystem, and the fact that rust went all in with a single unified package manager makes the comparison a non-event.

So… compare apples to apples right?

“pre-alpha” language? I don’t even know what you mean by this; but, it’s ok not to love it.

There are things I dislike about it too.

It is verbose.

I still use it though; it’s better than the alternatives for what I’m doing.
Also, to be clear, Twitter is not making a claim about how many actual human users it has - it is making a claim about how many actual human mDAU, or monetizable daily active users, it has. 90% of Twitter's users can be bots, as long as no more than half a percent or so of those are counted as mDAU.
I assume the 757 was designed to be produced in bulk.

It's not clear to me that designing something that needs to be assembled successfully once vs twice vs 10 times doesn't introduce some more cost tradeoffs in itself. Just around tolerances and yield even, how many pieces are required to be made to give one complete set of parts that all work together vs 10 complete sets that all work together. I could see some extra pain and assembly from having to get more permutations of part variances all working together and validated. A while back, at least, a lot of the testing processes for space components were VERY manual so you'd either need to invest more for automation or accept linear costs on all the extra production/verification.

This is partly quibbling over trivial details - I would imagine the savings is closer to 50-75% than 90% - but at a certain point those differences in tens-of-percentage points are lots of billions of dollars.

Here's the real kicker to me: why spend even an extra 10% up-front before even deploying one of them? Why not spend the marginal costs on building an additional unit only if the first fails? Then you can learn from the failure too? And if it works the first time, those billions can be spent elsewhere instead.

I believe the solution for this is to have a shared context, batch changes and then run through all of them at once.

So when you e.g. mutate a variable, it doesn’t actually change until the next frame. which you can get by calling some sort of poll function. The poll function has mutable access to your entire widget tree, applies the updates, then you can have more UI with shared access

Rust is fast enough that i think performance won’t be an issue.
Thought experiment: if you have an elastic band floating in space, and you nudge it repeatedly to get it rotating faster and faster, will it stretch out (the way a timing belt would if run too fast) or will it stay slack? In its own reference frame, is the band being put under tension — and so experiencing elastic deformation — from the momentum of the particles within it?
Oh wow, the readme is even more out of date than I realized. I yanked the Mac adapter prototype from the main branch last year. You can find it if you dig through history. I'll bring it back and continue working on it later this year; it's already on my schedule of work to do this year.

I mean it's not completely random, this is exactly the kind of thing the Delaware chancery court exists to deal with... almost all of their docket is high-stakes shareholder stuff.
For those shareholders that are bought out, you're right. He could squeeze their buildings and infrastructure into a giant paperweight and lay off everyone after middle-fingering the world in a final tweet, and those shareholders would have their cash and no say or care about it. After all, according to SCOTUS, the cash they get is their sole concern.

The shareholders who go private with him, may care, but that's between them and him. Interesting if they would go against the merger.

If you get in bed with Musk, expect some procreation, I guess.
But bandwidth does matter when you have multiple devices. On a typical day it is not uncommon for multiple video calls to be going on at the same time in my apt. My roommate and I used to schedule our meetings around one another so that we could have a call with our respective advisors that wasn't choppy. We'd also make sure not to be streaming video at these times either. Bandwidth is 100% part of the problem.

Now I agree that there are other issues like stability, latency, and upload, but it is just naive to dismiss download bandwidth.

The article said that Socrates was nearly blind and (perhaps could feel that he was) approaching senility. He was also associated with the thirty tyrants, and they had been his students.

The arguments end with this:

"And Socrates was wise enough to give his life for it. He had ample opportunity to escape. But he threw himself into this bonfire of psychic incongruity to give one last gift to his fellow Athenians. This sacrifice is, perhaps, Socrates' greatest contribution to his beloved Athens."

I did not know any of that, but I only read the Symposium.
Lance did get control of the project, but not due to Rocky's death.

He got it because after he suggested the name (CentOS) and I approved it and it was then accepted by the others, he promised to hand over the domain name which he was squatting on to the Caos Foundation (a 501(c)3).

Jump forward, Lance and the Centos web team had Red Hat trademark violations on the centos.org website and they alienated Red Hat's legal team enough for them to come after me personally. I believed in Red Hat and we needed to correct our actions, so I reached out to Lance and the web team to rectify the situation. My requests were ignored as they didn't care that they were doing a disservice to Red Hat. I forced the situation as much as I could, which was purely political as the Caos Foundation didn't have access or control over the domain. After the PNALV fiasco, matters got worse, and Lance was able to control the project because he retained controlled the domain.

This was how Lance inherited the ownership of the project, well over a year after Rocky passed away. It was a matter of board manipulation (he convinced the Caos Foundation board that it was okay for him to own the domain). Note, he continued being a bad actor even afterwords when he went AWOL and was pocketing donations personally when the developers had to write him a public open letter to hand over the domain.

What I said is not my subjective view of history, it is corroborated fact which was never challenged or questioned until I founded Rocky Linux.

The right question to ask now... Why are some people spreading rumors trying to rewrite history and slander me (and thus Rocky).

I listened to an interview on NPR with someone else who was a leader on JWST and the host asked this leader if there was ever a time when it all felt hopeless, that things were doomed to fail. The leader said: no, never. When they encountered a major issue, or a costly mistake was made, the team did not despair or point fingers. Instead, they just added time to the schedule, and worked to figure out how to solve the issue and move on to the next problem. This person also noted that pretty much everyone involved felt they were working towards the greatest achievement of their lives.
coredis 4.0 – async Python Redis client
This release diverges significantly from aredis, the library coredis was forked from - and from redis-py (which aredis was based on).

The client introduces features that are not available as high level features in any (afaik) single python redis client.

New features (some introduced in the 3.x series and improved & hardened in 4.0):

- Support for noreply mode

- Support for synchronous replication of write commands

- Server assisted client side caching

- Sharded Pub Sub

- High Level Stream consumers

- High performance python parser (compiled to native when
possible using mypyc)

- Exact type annotations for redis command responses

- Runtime type checking using beartype

- Default use of RESP3 protocol

- Cross slot support for multi key commands such as delete & exists

- Compatibility with KeyDB & Dragonflydb

- Decorators to create "type safe" interfaces for redis scripts & libraries.
It appears a somewhat counter-argument is about getting high salaries and the corresponding positions without having to go into debt or at least invest the time and money into getting a degree. As we all know, student loan debt is a very real issue. Some of those people might feel they aren't missing anything, where in cases like yourself, there is a need to find out what they might be missing or a sense of wanting to be publicly viewed as a true equal in the field.
Yup. Same with one of the local WISPs around here. On top of it all, I think they used some external grant funding to upgrade the last mile links, and cut upload by 90%.

I haven't run a ping test since then, but last time I checked, it was > 1% and 1 second to the internet.

In fairness, they're lobbying for a govt bail out to subsidize their upstream fiber provider.
Exactly. Afaik, there's even a whole auction based side industry trading expired domains. When you see a placeholder page, the original site is for all intents and purposes, dead. The domain just happens to be interesting enough that someone wants to stick an ad on it rather than let it resolve to nothing.

> The US was created by its citizens. Any country can do that.

Every country is, in aggregate, created by some portion of its citizens, but I don't think that necessarily implies every country has an equally plausible path to the positive social conditions of the US (in fact, it's an open question if the US has a plausible path to keeping its positive social conditions). There was a very narrow window of conditions that applied where enough enlightenment thinking, reflection on classical thinking, local colonial strength, and enough self-interest for a broad number of colonial Americans met a concept of the public good, and we still got a union that needs a hell of a lot of perfecting. If you take the culture of the early 19th century US and backport it to the late 18th, I'm not even sure you'd get anything half as enlightened.

The point isn't that people shouldn't try, of course. The point is that even the state of a given functioning industrialized democracy is partly a matter of lots of factors that no one has control over, which makes it reasonable to describe them in terms of luck.

> I had many opportunities to become a billionaire. I didn't not because I was unlucky, but because I was stupid and unwilling to take the risk necessary.

It is wise to realize when one has lost a roll of the dice because of a passed opportunity to cast them. It's also wise to realize that luck would have played a role if you'd taken the opportunity.
I'm glad Rust* is forcing us out of a rut in UI toolkit design. All of these spell hard-to-debug problems.

* Yes, I know elm-derive UIs are also a thing and have laid a lot of ground work in this area.

btw I've had great experience 10 or so years ago doing composition-based UI design in GTK with Python. When Maemo switched from GTK to Qt, the requirements on inheritance were one of my points of frustration and I got away with creating a couple adapter classes to avoid most of it.
It's very decidedly not an abstraction on linear momentum.

It's a conserved quantity just like any other. Light has angular momentum even when travelling in a straight line. Anything with spin does even when stopped.

In physics there is a concept known as symmetry. Any way you can swap around your variables without influencing the answers corresponds to a way in which the laws of physics are symmetric (or a way someone could change the time/position/orientation/etc of the region in which you did your experiment and you would get the same results as long as you stayed in the lab they moved).

Angular momentum is the conserved quantity from rotational symmetry and is just as primary as energy-momentum or charge.

> That's a weird judgement to throw in the midst.

Sorry, I wasn't implying anything by this. Just absent-minded phrasing.

> people have to accept that their preferences aren't always and possibly not ever going to align with healthy eating.

Sure, I think it's possible some people can't make it through the transition to healthier preferences. That doesn't suggest that the original claim in the thread is correct.

The comment you originally responded to claimed that convexfunction was "restating" the claim that weight loss is pure effortful discomfort (from the top of the thread). Your response was that you doubt that healthy food can taste as good as junk food[1]. In the comment I responded directly to, you say that having cheesecake occasionally is evidence that a healthy person eating less cheesecake comes from conscious healthy effort.

These claims are what I'm pushing back against. I use way less willpower on food now than when I was a junkier eater[2].

[1] Note that the issue here might be that your definition of weight-loss-promoting foods is askew. Steak is a pretty reasonable part of a weight-loss diet, as long as you're not mindless about the quantity. As with the cheesecake example, eating the right amount of steak is a way more pleasant experience than eating too much.

[2] though thankfully never as bad as the avg US upper-middle-class diet

I can't quite figure out what you disagree about. I stated that 1) ProtonMail Bridge makes things less secure and vulnerable 2) that I think it defeats the purpose of using ProtonMail in the first place 3) that you have to worry about the security of another software with ProtonMail Bridge.

I think you're saying that you're more likely to be compromised because of the host, and this is where I'm confused, because I didn't claim that you're more likely to be compromised by someone having access to your machine.
Changing linear momentum does require a force (but not necessarily work), as does changing angular momentum. In orbits it's gravity, in particle interactions it's the electromagnetic force.
A big complication when judging things like this is that, like many relationships in political/social dynamics, there is strong asymmetry. Similar to the saying that a black American must be twice as good a citizen to be considered half as good a citizen (i.e. flaws/failures are counted more heavily against them), tons of people can espouse harmful/baseless theories all day, and they will receive criticism and support that doesn't really add up to anything unusual, but when one person who said "that's not true" turns out to be wrong, it "makes waves", as you say. This makes sense, since, on the theorists' side of things, they feel like the underdogs and the nay-sayers feel like the elites; and on the nay-sayer's side of things, they are typically being held to a higher standard by even their fellows. In other words, the optics/feelings don't really match up with pragmatic/generous observation.

Another problem, which I think is more overlooked, is that when people talk about the cases of the nay-sayers being wrong, it frequently goes like this:

- Theorist claims uncomfortable truth X.

- Nay-sayer says X is not true.

- X turns out to be true.

However, most of these cases are really closer to something like this:

- Theorist claims X, which, if untrue, is a harmful thing to spread.

- Nay-sayer says there is no (or not enough) evidence for X (which is way different from insisting that X is not true).

- X turns out to be potentially true, partially true, or true for a specific case (and sometimes unqualifiedly true!).

In reality, there are vanishingly few of the former case, and even for those cases that exist, the nay-sayer's case is still frequently the better case and could reasonably be held again if the same scenario happens again, where the theorist's truth is arguably a broken-clock scenario.
Yes, you have it exactly right. The cable infrastructure was built out in the era of "on demand TV", and the coax cable and frequencies they used required some hard choices. Hard in the sense of hardware. Perhaps quite sensibly for the time, they installed hardware filters that allocated most of the spectrum for download.

I loved 50% of my Master's degree program. Those were the best CS courses I ever took (writing assemblers, compilers, CPUs in FPGA, OS kernels from scratch). I could have presumably avoided the degree and done it all by myself, without the knowledge of a professor, without the support of the TA and without feedback from others, but it would have taken at least twice as long and I am not entirely sure I would have been able to get to the finish line.
