Ahem! Sorry, those screenies don't show GEM as it looked at the times.
That looks like something from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiNT which although started early after, wasn't that common and/or usable. It got a boost in development much later only, IIRC.

What can be seen there is a work of love/passion, from not that much people, running in an emulator, which enables configurations which were either very expensive, rare, or didn't even ever exist.
So it seems python and elixir are not that different at all. You are handling these problems the same way as the Python community is.
I had the same experience. We used logo in elementary school on Apple IIes and I thought we were just "learning computers." Looking back I realize that one teacher went out of her way to teach us something useful with the oudated hardware available (this was in 1992). Other teachers of the same class just let us play around with a print shop program, and in junior high we had a computer class which was just typing practice, again using Apple IIes. They were old and unmaintained, they didn't even have software available -we had to type into the command prompt for 45 minutes. In high school I took a computer science course, but quickly dropped it because it started us off with word and excel. It wasn't until undergrad that I was exposed to programming again properly again and realized what logo and that teacher actually was trying to us. I wish subsequent teachers had kept going in that direction.
/Opinion:
"Makers of BT devices can't agree on many important common things (easy discovery / pairing mode, priority, etc)." => I think it is not the creators of the devices (peripherals), it is in my expierence the SmartPhones (Apple/Google)
=> iOS won't let you discover BLE Devices which have only generic or costum services/characteristics
=> iOS will hide parts of advertisment/discovery data from app developers
=> iOS won't let you know if a device is bonded/paired via API
=> on iOS if you want to initiate bonding, you have to initiate it from the peripheral
=> Android sometimes "forgets" keys of paired devices
=> Android sometimes scrambles data from characteristic notify()
=> Android sometimes "misses" characteristic writes (ratio 1:1000000)
This is just what I could come up with in a minute. I develop both FW for peripherals and Apps, so my 2 cents
=> It's almost never the peripheral/fw and most time the Smartphone
=> RF noise is (almost) never an issue, glitchses come from phones

> More than that, multiple US government agencies have advised consumers that using Bluetooth risks leaving their devices more vulnerable to cybersecurity risks.

It was the security issues that first started me leaving Bluetooth disabled on my phones, but I'm glad that I did since it's so often being used to track us. Bluetooth tracking beacons are inexpensive and require less power than wifi trackers (which are still all over the place). They can run a long time on a battery or using RF to DC, allowing them to be easily and discretely mounted and can be triggered by motion/proximity sensors to extend battery life even further. They can be placed to log your location to within a couple feet, but some beacons can track you from many miles away.

I've had my phone set to disable wifi and Bluetooth when I'm out of range of my usual networks. I can always manually enable either if I need it, but because I've still got a phone with a headphone jack, I've never actually needed to enable bluetooth. Laptops have the same issues. I'm hoping my next laptop will allow me to disable it in UEFI.

UWB and 5G are also things to keep an eye on if you're concerned about being tracked and monitored.
You have no idea why those money transfers happened either on BTC network or Wise system.

You are making a baseless assumption on the intent of transfers to push an argument without merit.
> why not take a look at electroconvulsive therapy ... Yet we have no idea how it works ...

Or you can stick with something that has been already been scientifically studied and proven to be as effective as anti-depressants in curing depression - Cognitive Therapy. In fact, it even prevents relapses more than anti-depressants:

> Depression is one of the most prevalent and debilitating of the psychiatric disorders. Studies have shown that cognitive therapy is as efficacious as antidepressant medications at treating depression, and it seems to reduce the risk of relapse even after its discontinuation. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2748674/

For those considering going to a CT therapist you can search for certified CT therapist from here: https://cares.beckinstitute.org/get-treatment/clinician-dire... (the Beck Institute was started by the founder of CT and is now run by his daughter who is also a professional in this field. Nowadays most therapist learn about CT during the education but only have the base knowledge of it and thus don't apply CT techniques properly during therapy, and remain ignorant of the advances in this field. Those who actually train and specialise in it are more effective.)
While he definitely has right to say anything, regardless of he is right or wrong, the language he uses is very unprofessional.
Because the US had nerdy hackers that wanted to build companies and make stuff that people want.

Europe has nerdy hackers too, but they don't want to build companies, as it is considered bad taste here.

Facebook uses 6% the amount of power, as all bitcoin miners.

The amount of power consumed by all of the cloud services we unknowingly use almost 24/7 is a hugely underappreciated problem, I will agree there.

From the article:

Seems like there is a pretty obvious candidate for that, lockdowns.

Still, only time will tell, as they go on to say with the rest of that quote:

How Hot Is Too Hot for the Human Body?
It seems that France, more and more socialist at the time since 1929(?), didn't want to attack the socialist-communists: German National Socialists + URSS in 1939/40 because of their alliance. and that would be why the need to surrender was so important despite pretty-okay infantry, chars and generals.
The vast majority of human activities have a carbon footprint.

I would rather give up Facebook and all other social (which in my opinion add no value to society) rather than cryptocurrencies (which are instrumental to the right of privately transacting online, which I deem very important).

This obsession over the carbon footprint of cryptocurrencies is ideological and, ultimately, wrong.
Haha, sorry, reminds me - my wife hates U2 with violent passion.

Eventually I asked her what caused such burning rage, and she said her car starts playing a specific U2 song every time she turns it on. For years!

Eventually I traced it to a promotional album U2 and apple and iTunes pushed to her devices without her knowledge.

Man can these things backfire!

But yeah we have a 2019 Honda and iPhones xr (not my choice; iPhone is work mandated) and there's just no telling what'll happen any given time when we start the car. Especially annoying since modern infotainment units make you wait 3 to 5 seconds to display crucial legal information before you can mute the darn thing. And let's not start if you have more than one Bluetooth headphone and more than one device at home :(

(Yes I'm now the grouch that misses 3.5mm on modern phones and uses my old Note 8 and wired Sennheiser to listen to music hassle free :D)
> Are these "planet is heating" people going around telling people not to have idle appliances plugged in? Not to use bigger cars if not necessary?

Yes and yes? We had the "should the government regulate size of cars" discussion on here just yesterday as well.

As well as - including but not limited to - telling people to fly less, to insulate their homes to reduce heating energy use, to use lower energy bulbs, and so on and so on.

Huge. What if Apple claims implementing required feature X will take more than 6 months? I could see it happening given that planning has already happened and new func will need to be smoothly introduced into UX etc.
And yet there were issues opened which specifically reference cryptocurrencies, such as: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/issues/1144
I have the wifi laser printer from Brother - works fine wirelessly with Ubuntu.
Really? Phone batteries are lithium ion, and they get very noticeably worse after just a year or two.
My only complaint is, I suspect, a regulatory thing. Cars don't let you pair when driving, which is perfectly useless since the only time you pair a new phone to your car is when you have a new passenger wanting to connect her phone...

Other than that, my Bluetooth experience is perfectly boring 99%+ of the time.
This is one of the reason why I prefer to use a usb-c bluetooth audio dongle to use my bluetooth headphones. I have multiple bluetooth headphones and multiple devices that can use them, so switching the headphones between those devices got old very quickly. Now I just plug the bluetooth audio dongle to the device I currently use (pc, laptop, or phone) and turn on the bluetooth headphone I want to use, and it's done. I basically turned the bluetooth headphones into a virtually wired headphones now.
The Agirc-Arrco is a separate, compulsory system that has separate contributions to the state pension.
So the US got a startup economy with black jack and Angels, while Europe is trying to do innovation through corporates (think go90).

Oh, and MBA copycats from Rocket Internet.

(Obviously I am exaggerating)
I haven't seen any example of such a trend which is why this is a very extreme position if not an irrational position to take.

> I’m aware of efforts to build proof-of-stake models. I’ll care once the total energy consumption of all cryptocurrencies drops to a non-bullshit level.

> I will summarily close issues related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in any way.

Have we seen any creator of a deep learning library, take a similar position if not stopping any support for anyone using it for mass surveillance or burning up the planet by using their deep learning library to train it on tons of GPUs in the cloud until the data centres catch fire? I don't think so.

It's business as usual for them as the author is getting upset over PoW systems to taint all of them under the same brush despite many alternatives that are more energy efficient than others.
Toys R Us looking to make brick and mortar retail comeback
Well, then how did Einstein get here, either? He wasn’t the greatest at math, supposedly borrowed or stole math from others etc. he merely asked some questions that nobody thought of.

Separate Feynman the man from his stories, as he liked to tell stories and probably liked to seem like a hick. He internalized a tremendous amount of math when young, winning awards. Rederived math and physics formalisms and could visually or acoustical visualize things like series. As he didn’t like to read the literature, he derived anything that he was told so he could understand. This was a terribly inefficient way of working but it fit his need to visualize.

Like Einstein and the others he had a feeling for physics and then used math as necessary. Today, people would be saying that Brian Cox was a British alternative in terms of presenting science.
I don't really distinguish between open source and proprietary for these issues. It's more about relevancy. For example, if Grindr wanted to ban conservatives from the platform, I could understand that. But if say, Microsoft wanted to ban liberals from using Windows, that would feel a bit weird.
> GDPR fines are structured to make it extremely risky/expensive to take the “ask for forgiveness not permission” approach you’re suggesting.

Expensive, maybe, but not risky.

If you're rolling the dice on a GPDR fine, the expected value of vague compliance is still largely positive, while the expected value of actual compliance is still slightly negative.

The expected value of the fine needs to be a larger negative than the expected value of vague compliance.

You don't even need to raise the fine value (which is a percentage/scale of revenue), you just need to make the probability of paying it approach 1.

In fact, with a higher probability of paying the fine, you could even lower the actual fine and still have it have a larger negative expected value than vague compliance.
> cryptocurrencies (which are instrumental to the right of privately transacting online

Blockchains are public ledgers - this is the opposite of privacy.
The “outside force” is more likely to be banking in non-US countries, for example in the UK that has always been ahead.
We should start a club!

My son just bought a 3.5 mm adapter for the phone. Turns out the younger generation prefers wired too.
Recently phones don't have DACs since they don't have headphone jacks. Well, they have them for the speakers and vibration but presumably you didn't mean that.

But their dongles' DACs are quite sufficient and are better than most of the audiophile DAC industry (which doesn't have the budget to actually make anything good).

The key word when using exercise to treat stress is that it need to be voluntary (ie, something that the person want to do). Forcing oneself to exercise has the opposite result with increased corticosterone levels. Exercise is great if and only if the individual is doing something they enjoy.

There’s a huge problem with BT that the article doesn’t seem to touch on at all, which is that it’s too low-bandwidth to provide a good experience for many of its intended use cases. It has no high quality full duplex audio profile. It is literally not possible to use a Bluetooth headset that doesn’t very noticeably degrade the audio quality for both yourself and your audience.

Some years ago, I had a similar idea for an open source library, banning use of it by government organizations (for surveillance). Later I understand how silly I was.

You’re right - his motivation isn’t relevant. He’s under no obligation to support anyone.
And if you and your political tribe have been telling people not to build solar and wind for decades, because it's so expensive, and useless and counterproductive and communism, and the exact opposite reality is arriving on schedule you're going to need some other argument to bring up to avoid looking like a total dupe.

Well, those hippies where right about global warming, and fossil fuels, and solar PV, and wind, and EVs, and insulation, and heat pumps, and government regulation but....

They're still wrong about nuclear, the fools, so we can still ignore them about everything, even the stuff they were right about. If they really think climate change is happening, why don't they like nuclear!!

Spoiler, they weren't wrong about nuclear either, just the fossil fuel lobby paid better than the nuclear lobby and the listen to the experts lobby took a long time to slowly establish credibility over time rather than just buy politicians.

Oh yes. Colleague has latest iphone 13 pro max, and latest airpods pro. Even this basic apple-apple setup is failing him numerous times, and you would expect this pair to be tweaked to perfection for that price. Conf calls where he had to give up pairing attempts and had to do it via phone. I could understand busy office space interference, but he has same issues at home.

I have Samsung S22 ultra and Sennheiser momentum 2 buds. Pairing works 100% anywhere immediately with aptx (unfortunately they don't support HD variant of codecs). But if I do press play, first 1-2 seconds the music is some ugly skipping. I would rather prefer it to be quiet for longer.

I believe the original creator of YOLO actually quit for that reason.
There's several more, which is certainly much more than the author wants.

Most of them seem to be trivial coding mistakes unrelated to the library, and contributors even helped on some before closing due to the rule. The users should probably have asked on StackOverflow or something like that.

This whole ordeal actually seems much more practical than political.

Doesn’t this apply to tech companies in general? Or to all large companies? The rewards for cutting corners exceeds any penalty for doing so. And be careful with words, as toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic etc have specific meanings.
