> So you just want it renamed to "social studies" or what? What is your proposal, that nobody research this topic, or that they be separated in journals etc? I doubt that will have much impact on whether it makes the news.

Or maybe people just want to shine light on the fact that social science is harder than other science for a bunch of different reasons, bring social scientists' attention towards the tools that help mitigate this, and bring the journals that seek profit over reliable results into disrepute?

Most of the papers published in current social science journals are not science, and this has been a problem for those 120 years precisely because the techniques used in chemistry or physics are inadequate for the problem domain, so applying them blindly does not produce scientific outcomes.
Aha, fair enough. Your original complaint was around how things 'felt wrong', and mentioned layout of apps, menus, icon sizes, buttons, fonts etc -- all things that are pretty easy to tweak using the System Settings.

It sounds like what you actually struggled with is breaking your environment by doing odd things with the distribution, which is an entirely different problem.

If you remove packages and ignore the warnings from your distro, you should expect unpredictable results. If you remove packages that don't incur a warning from your package manager, and the result is a broken system, then you should file a bug report with your distro.

I see you recently switched to Debian, but you didn't indicate whether you tried KDE on that distro. I've been on Debian GNU/Linux + KDE since last century, so I can confirm that this combination 'works fine here'.

I think SIMD was a distraction to our conversation, most code doesn't use it and in the future the length agnostic, flexible vectors; https://github.com/WebAssembly/flexible-vectors/blob/master/... are a better solution. They are a lot like RVV; https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec, research around vector processing is why RISC-V exists in the first place!

I was trying to find the smallest Rust Wasm interpreters I could find, I should have read the source first, I only really use wasmtime, but this one looks very interesting, zero deps, zero unsafe.

16.5kloc of Rust https://github.com/rhysd/wain

The most complete wasm env for small devices is wasm3

20kloc of C https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3

I get what you are saying as to be so small that there isn't a place of bugs to hide.

> “There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.” CAR Hoare

Even a 100 line program can't be guaranteed to be free of bugs. These programs need embedded tests to ensure that the layer below them is functioning as intended. They cannot and should not run open loop. Speaking of 300+ reimplementations, I am sure that RISC-V has already exceeded that. The smallest readable implementation is like 200 lines of code; https://github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpga/blob/master/FemtoRV/...

I don't think Wasm suffers from the base extension issue you bring up. It will get larger, but 1.0 has the right algebraic properties to be useful forever. Wasm does require an environment, for archival purposes that environment should be written in Wasm, with api for instantiating more envs passed into the first env. There are two solutions to the Wasm generating and calling Wasm problem. First would be a trampoline, where one returns Wasm from the first Wasm program which is then re-instantiated by the outer env. The other would be to pass in the api to create new Wasm envs over existing memory buffers.

See, https://copy.sh/v86/

MS-DOS, NES or C64 are useful for archival purposes because they are dead, frozen in time along with a large corpus of software. But there is a ton of complexity in implementing those systems with enough fidelity to run software.

Lua, Typed Assembly; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typed_assembly_language and Sector Lisp; https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp seem to have the right minimalism and compactness for archival purposes. Maybe it is sectorlisp+rv32+wasm.

If there are directions you would like Wasm to go, I really recommend attending the Wasm CG meetings.

https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings

When it comes to an archival system, I'd like it to be able to run anything from an era, not just specially crafted binaries. I think Wasm meets that goal.

A large number of fabs and other manufacturing facilities exist there.

Texas has had several power failure related disasters in recent years; which have cost many lives and much value, as well as caused shocks to the rest of the US.

Much of the rest of the US does not have those issues, or has them in only very small predictable circumstances, mostly caused E.G. by huge windstorms (trees), earthquakes, fires, other 'natural disasters'. Climate generally not regarded as a natural disaster since it's something that should theoretically be planned for. Even the windstorm example, for metro areas power should not go out. It's only poorly managed rural areas that tend to go off the grid.

Yes, part of leadership is the ability to get messages across and extroverts are better at it.
With this sort of system you generally squash your commits together to form one-per-reviewable-thing. Or at least you rewrite things a bit to make it approachable. E.g. I split things apart so one commit is an obviously-correct refactor and the later ones are pure changes.

I understand some of the "no, merges are superior because they retain all history" proponents (not claiming you are one, just aiming to head off that flood), but all those dead ends and refactors along the way are just those - dead ends and refactors. They ruin the ability to bisect, for instance, because they are rarely all functional. Intentional commits, like a stacked workflow supports in a tool like Gerrit, lets you have a wonderfully understandable history that works at every point.

The basic EC2 is definitively not better. If anything, they wasted a massive amount of effort moving to a new framework rather than just improving the old UI.

Oh, cost savings on the front page? Yes that must have been IMPOSSIBLE in the old UI framework.

Was the old UI perfect? Hell no. What is amazing with the redesign is how little usability boost it provides, and how much aggravation and bugs it has. Very serious bugs, like lists of infrastructure changing under your cursor just as you're about to do something.

There are still bad bugs with screen refreshes that don't remember search criteria.

Text inputs not allowing certain characters to be inputted, or not working at all.

You'd think a redesign would improve readability, flow, speed, and capability, and that a 60 billion dollar a year enterprise held up as the gold standard of industry IT could reengineer their core UIs effectively.
It's an interesting case of one area trying to stay independent and deregulated, then failing in basic areas like low costs, and maintenance, leading to serious issues in recent winters.

Funny comment! You could write a script that would not take screenshots of, e.g., incognito, windows.
Well, yes and no. I do actually agree with your claim that Linux uses a nonstandard C because it builds with special flags and without them it would not work. But for code that just happens to have unintentional bugs that result in UB–I definitely consider that C. Code that has a gentleman's agreement with the compiler on certain UBs is straddling the line but I would still usually call it C, unless someone tried to claim that because GCC accepted something it must be part of the standard. My point really isn't that you're wrong or that this isn't useful in the right context–that's why I called it pedantic–but the difference between "we build our code with special flags and this doesn't work with any other code that is ostensibly in this language because of that" and "this works on major compilers but is not standards compliant" is kind large and I don't think you really needed to go where you did. Sort of like if you made a typo in a comment about the English language I don't go "you must be using a language other than English, because clearly this is not valid" I say you have a typo, but if you're one of the people who makes everything lowercase and doesn't use punctuation I might reasonable say "it's mostly English but I'm not sure I can really call it that without qualification".
Have you tried playing a live poker game in a casino? Beating this type of game has very little to do with playing a non exploitable strategy. Even up to 5/10 you have recs playing completely unbalanced so it’s better to just size your bets to get max value from worse hands or make better hands fold. Nobody is going to exploit you in a 2-3 hour session for doing this.
Programming has gone from a great career choice for autists to pretty much an option for allistic extraverts only. After that management consultant taught Microsoft and other companies "beware a guy in a room" in the 90s, that guy in the room went from the layer of golden eggs to a liability almost overnight. The ask now is for CONSTANT collaboration and CONSTANT communication. Mainly because it provides an audit trail. All those Slack messages and Teams calls, together with stats from JIRA on when your stories get assigned and completed, and how complex they are (yes, story points WILL be transmuted into hours, if not in your scrum meetings then in your performance reviews) can be used to determine how you're performing with up-to-the-minute data, and allow management to either intervene to shape your behavior or take disciplinary action up to/including termination if that fails.

Another way to look at it is, you know how we don't trust AI, so we're developing tech to make AI disclose how it arrived at its conclusions so it can be tuned and tweaked to get the responses we want or at least avoid results we don't want?

You, developer, are an intelligence, and Corporate wants to tune and tweak you to get the results they want. An easy way of doing that is to reward you for gabbing with teammates and punish you for thinking on your own, so you are forced to disclose your thought process at all times as it happens so that management can observe, analyze, and modify it in real time.

If you work best by thinking on your own, don't get into programming unless you are co-owner of the business.
Iowa finishing pigs were the largest class of livestock consuming corn, approximately 340 million bushels, which is about 16.6% of the Iowa corn crop, or 55% of all the corn fed to livestock in Iowa [0]. Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the U.S. raising nearly one-third of the nation's hogs, and the top state for pork exports [1]. In 2021, exports accounted for 29.4 percent of total U.S. pork and pork variety meat production [2].

You are quite mistaken. The notion of hate speech is not unique for Western culture.

Article 282 in Russian Criminal Codex exists since Eltsin time (1996) and addresses incitement of hatred on racial, religious and ethnic grounds. It itself is based on similar article from Soviet times (1960).

In 2003 it was extended by Putin in include hate speech based on gender, language, origin and social stratum.

For comparison, there's the European Web Accessibility Directive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Accessibility_Directive

I've been learning illustrative drawing and while studying anatomy have reached this axiomatic conclusion, one which I've seen elsewhere: make it a laborious effort to take notes and your recall of them will subsequently improve.

You see, the way in which I've taken up the anatomy study is simply to copy every drawing in "Morpho" (a 300-plus page volume full of anatomical reference material, different perspectives and poses). This takes months, even with the relatively brief treatments I've giving to each drawing. No school class sits you down at the start and says "your assignment for the class is to copy every page in the textbook".

But the results speak for themselves. My understanding of figures and faces has improved a ton by simply going through the book and drawing what I see over and over. Where it's lacking the most is in the places where I haven't yet finished my study.

And it makes sense. We don't teach sports by quizzing athletes with lengthy descriptions of the situation, but by drilling the muscle memory in small chunks and then putting it together. There's no reason why learning of other topics wouldn't be the same.

But it's also high effort to put in that degree of drill. Most people searching for an ultimate knowledge system aren't willing to forsake that much and want to focus on the tools and the data collection process. But this isn't a good adaptation to an info-saturated world. Collection and organization is a professional field all its own: that's the type of thing a library scientist does. If you collect in an overly general way, you compete with the librarians. To do better than them you have to filter and apply the more intensive method to a smaller number of topics.

For example, a mediocre way to keep up with news is to consume predigested news products. The headline usually says about as much as is necessary; the rest is formulaic and designed for engagement. Looking to an expert is also misleading because they'll make a statement from within their own self-interest(e.g. medical professionals with disease) and build up an echo chamber around their seniority. To go deep on any one news subject you have to start compiling your own data, ask your own questions, pursue your own leads. But you can't do all of them.

What you can feasibly do(and which I do from time to time) is look at statements coming from within corporations and public institutions about data: earnings reports, surveys, and so on. While occasionally misleading, these modes of information are usually designed to clear up confusion and present credible explanations for stakeholders. They are not as exciting as gossip journalism, but they often signal underlying trends, and you can summarize those into small-p principles that you'll filter future data through. So then you become more efficient without changing any of your habits around consumption.

I agree. This appears more like an attempt to get the most value (integration of proprietary Visual Studio features that devs want) into the VSCode extension as quickly as possible.

Said proprietary libraries are likely not able to be easily open sourced for a variety of possible reasons, so a closed source LSP bridge was the compromise the teams came to.

Sounds like the main benefit is hash-based dedup. You can do this with ZFS and borgbackup - they'd likely be a better comparison - but most other compressed filesystems won't do it.

Most compressed filesystems will fail to dedup stuff because for various performance related reasons the compression window is usually quite small maybe up to 128kb and the files are often not sorted in the archive such that small files would manage to compress anyway in that window.

EDIT: Apparently squashfs does include file de-dupe however DwarFS is fixing what I basically said above. It sorts files in order of similarity so that you can compress accross file boundaries as well as just removing complete duplicates. That's pretty cool.

"Clustering of files by similarity using a similarity hash function. This makes it easier to exploit the redundancy across file boundaries."

This kindof thing is more difficult to do on a writable filesystem though not impossible.
