The Apple Silicon hardware is so good, it should make Linux users rethink being Linux users. At least until Asahi Linux has decent hardware support, but even then Linux just doesn't cut it in terms of UI.

i have been holding out on installing whatsapp for as long it was an active service. i use a "business" number to get work contacts to send me stuff but never my personal phones.

i am anxiously waiting for the EU dma to be enforced so that finally i can use my matrix to connect to whatsapp/snap/fb/insta users who want to connect to me, right now they cant and its a bummer but i've stubbornly stuck to this.
Here's Slitherlink and a ton of other puzzles playable on the browser: https://www.puzzle-loop.com/

I enjoy this collection, they all have a similar and consistent UI. I enjoy their Nonograms, Star Battle, Tents, Hashi and I've just tried their new Mosaic puzzle, seems fun enough.
> I was promised that a world without law enforcement was some kind of utopia where everone would get together just fine...

This sounds like hyperbole, although there are some libertarians, especially anarcho-capitalists, who would believe so.

> the ones more affected by common criminals are the people with lower incomes

I'm inclined to agree with this, but it is also true that law enforcement, as a whole, tends to provide better service to higher earners than anyone else.
> it is sensible to default the top row to various controls

No, it's not. I'm hitting F4, F5, F5, F10 way, way more often than I change the brightness (ones in a while), volume (more often but NOT EVERY GODDAMN MINUTE) or ExternalOutput (nowadays - never).
Oh how I love this collection. I have had it on my phone for many years.. I struggle with vasovagal syncope when I go to anyplace related to medical. Mixing my syncope with cancer/chemo was rough and this puzzle collection helped me in some of the hardest times of my life. I love Tents, Undead, Unequal, and Map.
What would happen is a revolt of the other 200+ LPs who all collectively represent a much larger fraction of the fund than any one whale because they will have to cover for the shortfall; not to mention other whales who may see things differently.

On every capital call there is a statement that lists the total amount and the pro-rata and if the ratio there would suddenly change that would be a breach of contract. As an LP you know up front how big a chunk of the total fund your commitment will be with possible upside if the fund is oversubscribed and if it is undersubscribed it either won't launch of you will be made aware of the change and given the option to walk away.

To see the fund effectively shrink post launch and the shortfall pushed onto the smaller LPs is ridiculous, especially if LPs were not previously told that this could be the case.
That is a very good point, I'm not deep enough into fibres to analyze this. My approach was more from an optimization/industrialization perspective. I'm pretty sure hemp has a more vocal following for obvious reasons.

Still I think we could probably do better than cotton and trees in terms of environment.

That's exactly what tickled me. He could have just said "My car keeps playing the same album when I adjust the console" but chose to focus on elements of the story that are vivid. He let the funny aspects of the situation shine through specifically _because_ he picked interesting elements to state directly.

Anyway, I don't like to pick apart what is humorous to me about something because it spoils the magic :)

While the corporate world is strange and toxic on many levels, being on a solid team where everyone has each other's backs (necessary because of the warring-fractions-like relationships within the same company), is a bonding and exhilarating experience.
The UI of desktop Office is currently being destroyed by their crappy redesign (thankfully still in preview). They do it by embedding like 3 different web browsers on top of office. OneNote completely changes teams and plans every couple of years. Outlook is going to be replaced by electron/webview monstrosity. They are removing features from Excel.
It's mostly due to old, inflexible, stodgy companies. Analog Device, Texas Instruments, Intel, etc. have been around forever, and haven't updated the worst parts of their employment practices and corporate cultures since the eighties. Military is even worse, but it's not just military.

Right now, I work in a company where I have work-life integration. I enjoy being at work. It's a pleasant place to be. I enjoy working from home, and balancing work with family. I enjoy my vacations. None of these are hard or expensive. I'd never get that designing integrated circuits or in any other sort of high-performance EE work.

Why can't I ask for a pleasant office, with a nice window looking at something green, flexible (not short) working hours, flexible vacation (I do better with fewer / longer trips), comfortable clothing, and similar in the EE world?
While the Central and State governments did their part, my love for social work made me volunteer at Annamrita NGO and participate in Covid 19 food relief donation program to improve the hunger situation.

> "I felt very angry," she says. "I have to go to work. And I make less money, being essential. $600 a week — that's almost the whole paycheck for me. Even with hazard pay, I still don't make that much money."

"Transformational" as a superlative. It's gene therapy. I'd love them to explain how they make genetically modified cells implant in bone marrow, if this is like a bone marrow transplant or some encapsulated method like people are trying with insulin. Or a viral vector?
They shift the responsibility to the Copilot user.

From the official documentation:

You are responsible for ensuring the security and quality of your code. We recommend you take the same precautions when using code generated by GitHub Copilot that you would when using any code you didn't write yourself. These precautions include rigorous testing, IP scanning, and tracking for security vulnerabilities [0].

Also, you don't have to return a 1:1 copy of the code to breach the license. Adapting it to the context at hand is an effectively deriving the code, and you have a derived version of a licensed piece of code. Worse is, you can't check the code's license, because you can't underive and see where does it come from.

With this move, GitHub as a company is completely dissolved in my eyes. It's purely and squarely Microsoft now, because they behave like Microsoft, not GitHub.

There's also the problem of what is 'simple' has changed over time.

50 years ago, simple was printing something to console.

Nowadays, simple is drawing a graphic in a window.

If you give a child or teenager a terminal, and show them how to print some text to console. They will not feel the magic. In fact, in my experience, they often miss the significance altogether and immediately ask me how they can turn that skill into building an app or creating a game.

So learning to write software has to be reduced to small academic problems first. Like when you start learning maths, you start with arithmetic and move your way up, and eventually you find applications for it.
And the initial : is there to create a valid executable line where variables and brace expansions are actually evaluated, but without actually doing anything else. : is a synonym for true.

Sort of like a comment in that no statement is executed (well a statement is executed, it's just a almost-no-op statement) but unlike a comment in that the braces are evaluated, and any actions they perform like assignments, are evaluated and performed.

Most brace expansions just expand something in place, they essentially mostly just read and display something, possibly modifying it along the way from memory to output. But a few brace expansions actually do assignments. And that "set to this value if not already set to anything" is very useful. So a common trick is things like

:${DEBUG:=false}

: is just a synonym for "true" ie a valid command that does nothing but also does not produce an error and also is an executable statement not a comment.

Everything after the true is evaluated for real just like if true were instead echo or any other command.

The end result of that debug example is now all through the rest of the script you can put $DEBUG && echo doing step 7...

and never have to worry about the invalid syntax condition if DEBUG had not been set to something. All else being equal, it's always going to be set to false, and so all those debug commands will be valid syntax.

But you can enable verbose mode later at run-time without editing the script by running

DEBUG=true myscript

The := brace expansion means that since DEBUG was set to something, it's not modified, not set to false. it's only set to false if it was unset to begin with.

It's basically the shortest way to define a configurable with a default value at the same time.
And things turn really "fun" when you begin using modifiers which aren't supported by the USB keyboards specs, like the Hyper key. I've got my Linux / X configured to use Super and Hyper keys but things quickly turn weird. For example the Hyper key works totally fine from Emacs in GUI mode (and, over the years, I assigned a huge number of shortcuts to the Hyper key), since years and years, but I have never spent the time to make it work in the terminal. It's doable but requires some arcane magic. I'm not even talking about having the Hyper key working from a tty (like if I boot in non graphical mode) but simply having it work from, say, an xterm under X. Oh the fun.

So until I fix that no "emacs -nw" (emacs in terminal mode) for me as I rely way too much on my Hyper key.
I just flew Southwest Airlines and the bag checking process is so good. They have a dozen self-service terminals where you scan you passport, inform the amount of bags checked and it prints the tag. The whole process lasts no more than a minute.

I'm sorry, but it's just not particularly believable that all devices in my vicinity should have rare hardware faults that cause the mentioned software crashes and glitches.

As mentioned, they are reproduced on devices of friends of different generations, and my earlier devices were no saints either.

Plus, remember the debugging manual: When software bugs out, it's safe to assume it's always the software that's broken. Suspicion of kernel, compiler or hardware faults come after the software has been proven free of fault (which you can't reasonably do without source access).
To a large degree we can solve this with a data provenance infrastructure. It should be possible to have every step in the chain cryptographically sign images, video, audio and documents in a way that it can be proven no AI meddling has occurred. For an iphone it would not be a big leap to have the hardware sign video directly through the secure enclave.

How you combine that with data privacy though, I have no clue.
The freedom to choose what software you use is more important than the freedom to make your software a walled garden.
That’s a narrative that is very convenient for companies big companies, who can very cheaply pay people to spread it around.

There’s a different narrative that goes like this: those companies fired a bunch of people during lockdown, and the government decided to intervene and give them money (not enough to cover the rent and food expenses while lockdown)

Have some “profiteered” from that? Probably. It’s a big number of people. For a lot of people it wasn’t enough. So they found other ways to survive.

Now the companies (who let’s remember, shacked everyone in the first place) want to go back to how things were before. With same rates. And the pandemic hasn’t finished yet (there’s new variants going on). In this context, would it be wise for people to go back? A lot of them have been forced into finding something else (which is more pandemic-resilient). Cutting expenses, moving out of big cities, etc. Another lockdown and they would be fired again.

It looks like a bad deal to me.

> Having read the thesis, understanding the necessity of reproducible builds and how Nix turns that up to 1100, and looking forward to being able to tell future contributors of my software to just run `nix-shell <whatever>` to set up my exact development environment, I think I understand the value of Nix pretty well. Being told that I don't understand it's value just because I don't use it feels a bit like condescension or elitism. You probably intended none of that, but that's what it felt like.

I am glad that you acknowledge that it is only how it makes you feel as the original comment that are the cause of such obviously weren't intended for you interpret them that way.

It's a bit like if I told you that you need to use vim to actually be able to use it efficiently and you told that you had read the manual and understood really well the concept of modal editing.

I used to be like you, very confident in that reading, even regularly reading blog posts/articles on a subject was a great way of absorbing knowledge but at some point I have had to admit that that book/article I had read I did not remember much about and when faced with actually using/implementing something and I needed to actually use/implement multiple times to be able to do it by myself.
It doesn't matter how much you ramp up the fines if there's no willingness to enforce them. GDPR's potential fines were already adequate but the actual fines given out were laughable.

The IA's argument is that it's covered under section 107 as "fair use" as it's a nonprofit educational act with seemingly no negative effect on the value of the work.

You can disagree but you're tone is that you're absolutely right and anyone who doubts it is denying reality.
I've been using lisp-stat in production as part of an algorithmic trading application I wrote. It's been very solid, and though the plotting is (perhaps was, in light of this new release) kinda unwieldy, I really enjoyed using it. Excited to check out the newest release.

Personally, these people overpack suitcases so often that I don't feel it is a problem. There's a limit for the people that have to carry it, it should be illegal to overpack it the slightest.

The point of echoing back what was received is not because the client is "really dumb", it's actually good engineering practise. It directly confirms to the user what the machine believes it has received.

If this is incorrect, (whether caused by line noise or whatever), then the user knows this immediately. Unix has a lot of 2-character commands - you wouldn't want an innocent command accidentally mistranslated to "rm" and then press <Return>.
YES, the americans did know about CO2 at least as early as 1941. I didnt try to look that up but instead stumbled upon it while reading something else, and remembered your comment, so here you go:

> Ford’s 1941 bioplastic Model T was made of hemp, flax, wheat, and spruce pulp, which made the car lighter than fiberglass and ten times tougher than steel, wrote the New York Times on February 2, 1941. The car ran on ethanol made from hemp or other agricultural waste. Ford’s experimental model was deemed a step toward the realization of his dream to “grow automobiles from soil,” wrote Popular Mechanics in their December 1941 issue and reduce greenhouse gases—already known to occur by then.

Ctrl clears the highest two bits. E.g. @ (ascii 0x40) turns into ^@/NUL (ascii 0x00). Similarly C (0x43) -> ^C/ETX (0x03).

Older terminals (like the VT05) used bit-pairing also with shift. They just flipped some bits depending on the upper two bits. Compare column 2 with 3 in the linked graphic, and 4,5 with 6,7.
This is not correct. There were a multitude of payments given out besides stimulus. The CARES act alone gave $600/week of federal money for 17 weeks, totaling almost 11k.

This comment is "grasping at straws" of the highest order. At least make a compelling argument grounded in reality.

Bob Iger was Disney CEO for 15 years, during which he bought Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, opened parks in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and set the stage for Disney+. The company's valuation increased better than 5x.

Michael Rapino ran Live Nation and merged with Ticketmaster in 2010, becoming CEO of the new Live Nation Entertainment, and depending on your choice of start date, has 5x to 10x'ed the company's valuation. It has bought multiple event management companies, created artist management divisions, and owns and operate concert venues across the U.S. and internationally.

Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for about $140 million. Now, it is the most valuable NFL franchise, at about $5.5 billion -- a 40x increase. He built AT&T Stadium, moved the team HQ and practice facility to become the centerpiece of a massive real-estate development "The Star," and has been a pioneer and leader among NFL owners in boosting revenues from television contracts and other external sources.

These are not "short-term steps."
