Video game piracy is very much alive and well, with some triple a title exceptions. Not that that is effecting poverty at all. And, anyway, you don't really need new software. You can do fine with ten year old video editors and word 2007 if you just want to get something done.

I'm going to guess that your younger experiences involved some meaningful human connections. For me it seems like an early investment yields a greater tolerance for later isolation.

> I'd recommend doing so anonymously

I think a better way of getting this is to travel. You can be anonymous but still interact. You stay a week or a month, make some very light or light or even intimate connections, and then you move on.

It's still probably not as valuable as a quality fixed location scenario, but it's a much lower threat way.
I don't think this article motivates taxing Cloud Computing very well:

> The tech giants who built these hyper-clouds have massive advantages in building AI products and services that will continue to displace workers, who rely on low or predictable skills in both blue and white-collar industries.

Okay.... That seems like an emotional appeal, which on the face of it, is OK, but it doesn't stand up to any further thought. Should we consider whether a given product or innovation or improvement "displaces workers"? I mean, self-checkout and ATMs explicitly exist to displace workers. Arguing to not displace workers seems like an argument against changing anything.

The politico mini-interview linked to by this article has Cuban suggesting that robots that replace workers should contribute to Social Security, not taxing some amorphous concept like "cloud computing".

Further, given that Mark Cuban is a billionaire, one cannot just take his suggestion at face value. What does Cuban have going, what investments or trove of "intellectual property" does he have that are either negatively impacted by "cloud computing" or that would be positively impacted by robots paying into Social Security, or a per-server head tax?

Yep, and like I said, that means you're bias towards those with the privilege of having jobs/lives that allow them to work on side hobbies without compensation. They exist, but they are much fewer. Self-promotion is the price of more art.
Agreed, seeing both atop the frontpage simultaneously is confusing. An enlightening explanation for the rest of us would be great.

For reference, here is the "Bear Blog" thread:

That often isn't actually the case unless you make lots of pizza - for example with hamburgers I can't make one for myself cheaper than the local bar, because I can't buy a single slice of tomato or five leafs of lettuce. I can get a single patty at the meat counter ($7/lb, so about $2 usually), but can't buy a single bun or a slice of cheese.

Seems like this is loading Fathom analytics: https://usefathom.com/

Probably safe to turn off, as uBlock Origins and other ad blocking solutions would, depending on your settings. So I guess in a way the site itself works just fine without JS enabled and doesn't require it, but the authors have chosen to add analytics to see who uses their site, then.
What we should be comparing it is to activeX and flash will it have the security that those two technologies didn't?

Great post. Now, why can't someone just come up with a great tooling system for a "dreaded" language, put it out there, and everyone start using that when they see it's better? Doesn't the answer just go back to the Green and Brown Language split? People who use these languages mostly work on legacy projects where they don't get to decide the tooling used. Because otherwise why would they use that language with all the trendy new options available?

Huh, this is the first time I heard that FF supports MRU, and it's amazing (well except that it's only current window, see below)! I don't know why it was turned off by default.

MRU should always be the default, this is also what IDE's do, and alt+tab does with main windows.

What is even the point of ctrl+tab cycling to next tab? You got to press it dozens of times to go back to the original tab... Why would anyone use that? You can use ctrl+pgdn and pgup to go to next/previous which is more sensible for this.

So disappointingly, now I turned this feature on in FF, and I'm disappointed to see that it only cycles through most recent tab of current window. I wish it would go through any window. I have always dozens of windows with dozens of tabs each, and I find myself sometimes just opening the same URL again due to not bothering trying to find back a tab I was in just a few minutes ago due to not having a ctrl+tab that goes to most recent tab in any window.
Lentils have a higher protein content than either chickpeas or beans, typically between 22% and 25%, never so low as 10%. Only soybeans have an even higher protein content, but cooking soybeans correctly, so that all undesirable substances contained in them are destroyed or eliminated, is rather complicated and time-consuming.

Nevertheless, even if the dry legumes have about the same protein content as raw lean meat, while in raw lean meat the rest of the content is mainly water, dry legumes contains at least twice as much starch as proteins, so when eating the same quantity of proteins as legumes instead of meat, one will eat at least 3 times more calories.

I actually eat about 2 thirds of my daily protein intake from high-protein vegetables, e.g. lentils or peas, and only 1 third from meat, but if I would replace the last third, of proteins from meat, also with proteins from vegetables I could not avoid gaining weight. I have made various experiments with different diets, so I know this for sure.

Moreover, I am able to eat 2 thirds of the protein intake from vegetable sources only because I normally do not eat any cereals or any other starchy food that would provide additional calories over those that are automatically ingested together with the vegetable proteins. So this is a problem that I have studied during a long time, until succeeding to find a balance between protein intake and energy intake, without gaining weight. Most people, who also eat things like bread or sweets, would not be able to eat such a large part of their protein intake from vegetable sources, without becoming overweight.

That recommended protein intake of 46 g / 56 g per day, quoted by you, comes from an older study whose methodology has been severely criticized. Other studies, which are more credible in my opinion, conclude that the real recommended protein intake should be at least 50% higher, so closer to 100 g per day than to 56 g per day (and the 56 g per day was for a 70 kg male, any bigger individual must eat a proportionally greater quantity).

Neither of those links back up your claims. The pause on administering Moderna was originally set to expire December last year - I can't find any suggestion it was extended after that (wikipedia claims it's still restricted in Finland, but the source is an article from December). At any rate the risk was identified as extremely rare, and I'm yet to see any indication it has caused deaths in anyone under 30 in the many countries it's definitely used.

Or we just hate the other employees who have 1-2 layers of mental structures to build to do their jobs, while ours are 3-5 and require more focus.

Almost everyone I have worked with in my long career has had some very redeeming qualities. But many of them just had no concept what was required mentally for me (and my kind) to do our jobs.

We're not specifically anti-social, but we do want people to STFU enough for us to do the hard work.
Corollary, if we invent a true AI, then we might face a bug where, if left alone, it starts nooping and ruminating, and the presence of an outer world might actually be a necessary component of one’s intelligence. The frontier of that delimits one individual from another is then more fuzzy than just the skin delimitation…

Binary Ninja can as well (sorry for the delay, been on vacation this week) though none of the tools will download and use PDBs that might be available via public servers or otherwise by default in the configuration we're using on dogbolt. It would potentially be possible but our goal isn't to provide a test of all tools in all possible configurations as much as it is to get a good overview. Once you start tweaking each tool differently you're better off running that sort of analysis locally.
What makes you think things won’t get worse? We’re barely a year into high inflation.

Optimistically I’d guess we’re looking at 3-5 years to get inflation under control and that might include a recession (thats already started).
The article on TorrentFreak is a writeup of a paper, and though the domain maybe screams bias, the writeup is (rightly, as far as I can tell) skeptical that the paper has demonstrated anything about causality, rather showing an association.

In order to be enforced, laws must be interpreted by someone or some well-defined process.

There is enough ambiguity in human language (even legalese) that mapping it to a given situation requires a human being to interpret, evaluate, and apply.
Hopefully in good faith, hence the high bar to become a judge.

The process definitely is far from perfect, though it shouldn't be controversial to say what we have in the USA today is less bad than what we fled from hundreds of years ago in England.

The good news in this case is that it's extremely high profile, and the extra attention means special care is taken to assign a highly qualified good quality judge.

WASM uses the browser sandbox, from what I understand it re-uses the same facilities that browsers use for JIT
> That only works if the interest rates are higher than inflation.

Not necessarily. Raising interest rates lowers inflation.

So increasing interest rates is a double-whammy on housing. The increased mortgage prices lowers home values, fighting inflation _AND_ causes future profits to be discounted (relative to the risk-free bond rate).

The housing market was overheating earlier this year because low 2.5% interest rates meant that people's monthly payments were much lower than people expected. But now that we have 6% mortgage prices, the monthly mortgage price is increasing (which will eventually force housing prices down).

--------

This is why rising interest rates is the main tool of the Fed right now. Its not the perfect solution, but its sufficient until Congress enacts lasting change (ie: policy changes that lead to an increased supply of our luxury goods). The bank can only change interest rates so much before it becomes unreasonable.
The founders know very clearly what preceded it as they're working with the authors of these previous attempts (JVM, CLR, etc) to integrate their stacks with Wasm.
Look how they re-enact the civil war. Nobody wants the historical truth of dying from cholera in a Confederate stockade or burning down farms in Georgia with crying families in the background.
Humans are really good at cognitive dissonance.
Yes, because it's learned from their experience. WASM has been designed with security in mind from the very start, and implemented by experienced browser teams with a very deep understanding of the security risks of doing so.

War is a way for mindless and aggressive men to do whatever they really crave (which is escaping from a state of victimhood), without much justification and little immediate consequences to themselves, mostly under cover of patriotism. To kill and rape for fun and pleasure, and hopefully die fast, absolutely ecstatic.

To such men, please note: life never really ends, and you and your offspring gets eternally impacted by all miserable and soulless destruction of life's beauty you may have caused, inflicting more hardship and perpetuating novel state of misery upon flocks of others.
Nice that the author is enthusiastic; but everything he praises has been around for many years or has a rather hobbyist touch (e.g. what he writes in "The Edge" section). Webassembly has undoubted potential, but in the original use case (browser applications) it is still clearly too slow and inflexible; and interestingly, the adaptation seems to take place more in areas that are well occupied by Node, CLI or the Java VM. I just recently looked again at the current state and studied current literature with the intention of writing a WASM backend for Oberon+; but the technology probably needs a few more years to be worthwhile; at the very least, a built-in GC (or at least a means to scan the stack) should be available, otherwise the implementation would become incredibly inefficient.
It did once upon a time, and ironically there are now WASM versions as well.
I find it interesting how whenever I see people looking into data from dating sites drawing any conclusions from the data is written off as “incel talking points”. It’s pretty easy to do an experiment on dating sites where you control for other variables by testing for matches with photos and different descriptions and you’re going to find attractiveness is a large part of the effect because the point of these apps is casual sex.

I am interested with the derision people react with by even pointing out that the world of casual sex is not egalitarian particularly for men. I find it interesting that is a stigmatized fact.

Great questions. I guess I always BEGIN with clear perception of code or logic but at some point I realize that I have lost that perception and I am in some kind of no-mans land in my mind - yet often with the result of what I am looking for in hand.

When your "professor challenged (you) to work on using (your) frontal lobe more", what exactly did he mean? How did you do that?

I would love to be tested with EEG etc, and will definitely bring this up at my next medical visit, although they may not take me seriously.

As a young man I played a lot with biofeedback (including heart rate, galvanic skin response and brainwaves) measured with really simple electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes. I was amazed how easy it was to influence the result with neurofeedback. Anyone here doing anything like that? I might buy a simple recorder and measure my brainwaves during a hackathon.
It would probably happen when you aren’t programming if it were actually an absence seizure. It is totally normal to space out a bit when thinking. I cover my eyes and lay down sometimes if I need to think very hard when i’m coding. Im not a doctor or anything but what you described sounds very normal.
One of my favorite sports memories was going to my son's first big cross-country running meet. There were hundreds of kids lined up for the race and parents lined the course to cheer them on. The crowds clapped loudly for the leaders, it died down for the long stretch of mid-pack runners, and then grew to a roar for the kids working their hardest at the back of the pack. Everyone there seemed to understand how hard it is to get started in endurance sports, but also how transformative they can be to a kid's confidence, especially if they have not felt welcome or successful in team sports.
Same problem. I’ve solved it by not watching Netflix unless a friend with similar tastes recommends something to me directly. I end up not watching much Netflix, which I’ve found is healthier for me anyway. A lot of the “browsing “ or watching in bed was escapism.
Well this is a deeply unsettling line of thought.

Fortunately we seem capable of narrowing our memory to "where we are now", so I have little doubt that infinite beings can keep ourselves entertained.

Even so, it would be nice to have a meta-scorecard for those in-between moments. I mean, I'd like to know if I ever cheated an entire country, became their great leader, and converted otherwise well-intentioned people into willfully-ignorant follower. As games go, that would be quite entertaining.
I think you missed the part about it running in the browser? But yes, some previous technologies are similar to some new technologies, that's not really an insight at this point. Especially not about bytecode interpreters which seems like a standard practice.
That's pretty much what this tool does, except that it also supports alternative command lines available on BSDs and macOS. The README even shows how to use tc and iptables to simulate a bad network!

Being able to compile languages to Java bytecode doesn't help if you still have to convince users to install a Java runtime environment.

You don't even need a Double, you can use a Float NaN to encode strings:

> IEEE 754 encodes 32-bit floating points with 1 bit for the sign, 8 bits for the exponent, and 23 bits for the number part (mantissa). (...)

> 23 bits isn't much space, but conveniently the max size of a Unicode codepoint is 0x10FFFF, making it a 22-bit charset. When you encode your strings in UTF-32, you're only going to be using 22 of those bits, so masking the top portion with the NaN signature makes all of your characters NaNs.
Those are easy to make in Scratch via lists.
