I think the problem is simply in the varying writing skills of academics. Of course they need to take into consideration current theory and political viewpoints if they want their work to be relevant. But it takes an unusually skilled writer to weave theory and facts into a compelling story.
It is an open secret within the Squeak community. Participate in the community for a while and I'm sure someone will be happy to give it to you.
Younger me definitely had an inflated opinion of my own early BASIC programming work, and very secretive about the source code. (C)(R)(TM) etc. Now I wish I had copied that floppy.
Wow, this is really great! I love the design and especially the sophistication of that demo page. Really powerful and professional looking stuff.
There is apparently a kind of bacteria that can cloud seed. I don't recall how it gets up into the air, but it has some biochemistry that increases the dew point by a few degrees celcius, and then rides the rain back to the ground.

We may find that seeding the stratosphere with one of these bacteria, especially if this happens again when we are farther down the Climate Change rabbit hole, is more ecologically sound than stuffing aerosols up there.
Arc’teryx is pricey but in my experience ends up being the cheapest/best option simply because it wears like nails, does the job, and is comfortable. The LEAF stuff is great if you want a little more variety.
This excerpt from The Pale King is powerful and I recommend it over the "This is Water" speech, esp for software developers:

I really like yalls website design and UX; especially around scheduling the functions to run. I am working on the same problem in Python space at https://cdevframework.io, but I am building it first as a client side SDK. Mostly chose that way because I don't have much frontend skills! Impressive that you could getting this up and going so quickly!
It's an additional data point. These databases tend to have low S/N ratios -- having a bunch of people put in known good numbers (since they're being confirmed with a text) allows a moderately invested consumer to confirm one of the identities believed to be linked to the phone number.

(My phone number is public, but it doesn't show up in any of these public DBs. I have no idea why.)
>an establishment made up of thousands of workers, jointly aiming to present information as accurately as possible

I don't think that's what media organizations "aim" for, which is why I don't trust them.
I would be interested in making it optional - maybe even a setting to cache the hw config unless you pick a different option at boot time (separate item in bootloader menu). But being able to adapt when it does come up is extremely useful - I've moved drives from one machine to another plenty of times, so having the ability to do that kind of thing matters to me.
True. Yet if you look at it from a UI perspective. The name of the "creator" is tugged away on the most left which in most cases you wont see as you swipe away.
Yes, you might see the face of the person who made it, but there is a multitude of videos without personally identifying features.

Contrast that with LinkedIn, you see a post and the immediately visible information is the person who wrote it, what's his/her role is, and only then the content.

It's funny, I've always joked that I never got a PhD because I didn't have anything to prove to anyone.
American here, I’d disagree about Hawaii and Alaska but agree about the non-state territories. The non-state territories being unable to vote and not having representation in the legislature means that they don’t get as much attention in national politics, so they’re less top of mind. (Yes, both of those situations suck and I wish we would change them.)
The issue Is that for every single topic, there’s a cadre of crazies who deny that it is true or that it was ever an issue or claim that it’s made up or claim some conspiracy theory or yada yada.

The refuse of the media to actually shoot those people down means if they can’t actually report on anything.

Climate and anti-pollution in particular.

Props to Ultimaker for letting other companies modify Cura, but I hope these commie baguettes go out of business. The cheap edge cutters that ship with 3d printers are more dangerous than a printed liberator.

You'd only want to build regional HSR systems that would connect cities that get a lot of traffic and flights between them and are under 300 miles / 500 km apart. So, the northeast corridor, connect California major cities, connect Portland to Seattle, connect Dallas/Austin/Houston/San Antonio.

In Canada, half the population lives near a nearly straight line from Quebec City to Windsor; you could put a high speed rail line down the middle of that.
Desktop Firefox doesn’t use the Apple WebKit engine on the backend, so that’s up to the Firefox Desktop team to implement on their own (and tie into the OS native if available, which I suspect depends on you running the latest macOS beta, assuming they’re working on it yet).

Plenty of condos in the US (and I'm guessing London) use concrete walls between units. This isn't something magic that only the Czech Republic understands.

But concrete is pretty unfriendly to the environment and has a low expected lifespan. Much of the US is covered in trees, so an average apartment is primarily constructed from wood. Condos and apartments are generally constructed to different standards, due to the former being intended as a purchase, and the latter as a rental.
Then it's fatter and heavier and I may as well have gotten the 14" Pro. Macs aren't like iPhones that constantly fall out of your pocket and need the extra padding.
Totally. And it becomes a cultural phenomenon - neighbors and coworkers are chatting about it … you want to be part of that moment. Here’s what I wonder - what is the maximum frequency of big media hyped jackpots? Would we all do this again next week, next month? I don’t think so. Maybe next year?
The problem I consistently see is that the authorities labeling something as "fake" never communicate, or seem to consider, the confidence they have in the truth for what they're labelling. They almost always to communicate with false certainty.

This means they will label things incorrectly, and people will trust authorities less. In the last four years I saw the media, and other institutions, be blatantly incorrect more times than any other time in my life, which is probably related to the fall in confidence that's present [1].

Why can't the explanation be that institutions that are supposed to be trusted are clearly being untrustworthy, lowering the bar for all of society?

If your heart’s in it, money follows – Alexander Isora, Unicorn Platform $16k/mo
“It was my fault. I didn’t join because of the startup’s mission or values. I joined because I wanted to make fast money, and that was a mistake. I quit a year and a half ago. But I returned from the chaos and failure with new clarity. I realized that you have to focus on your passion, rather than just making money. I asked ‘life’ what I should do and I wrote a list of my passions. Web design was at the top. That’s when I came up with the idea for my next business. I started working on it and I didn’t panic about money because I really felt like I was in the flow of life. I asked life again to support me with money while I worked on my project — and money came. I didn’t have to boil an ocean or shake the ground to get it. People just appeared that wanted to support me. When I was ready, I immediately sold about 50 subscriptions to my platform, which allowed me eight months to work on it. It was so easy. This has been the brightest part of my life. I’ve learned that if you’re checking off your to-do list and your heart isn’t there, something needs to change. I try to stay in the flow of life as much as possible now, moment-to-moment. And doors just keep opening for me.” (from an interview in 2019)

how do neural networks learn? is it by intelligence and will?

no, it's by backpropagation. error is propagated and minimized. simple equations lead to emergent complexity.

canyons form as water follows paths of least resistance, and incrementally erode rock. the water doesn't use its intelligence and will to construct a canal, even though the resulting river system looks like a max flow solution.

the intelligence and will emerges from the math. simple systems with enough feedback can become very sophisticated.
My first PC was a Micron. I don't remember the specs at this point but the machine was fast, every component in it was well-chosen and standard, and the case was roomy and easy enough to get into that I was still using it long after swapping out all of the original components.

The best thing about Micron, though, was the support. Micron had no Level 1 "techs" reading replies from a script on staff, no annoying phone trees to navigate, and no obnoxiously long hold times. You'd just call and within a few rings be speaking directly to a Level 2 or 3 tech who knew both hardware and Windows troubleshooting and treated you as a peer. Discovering how aggressively awful support from most tech companies is after working with Micron was disheartening.
Fair enough, but we are also talking about normal human aging here - the vast majority of men will experience some level of hair loss over time. Expecting your male spouse to retain a juvenile hairline into later decades is unrealistic and shortsighted. Not attracted to bald men? Fine - majority of people aren't - but plenty of people are willing to overlook physiological maturation in their spouse over time.

> Nobody can control what they find attractive and unattractive, and attraction is an absolutely unavoidable component of most marital relationships. Some people focus on it unreasonably, and we consider them shallow, but it is impossible to _expect_ any arbitrary person to be utterly unaffected by it.

I don't think the mood in this thread is expecting her (I assume it's a woman) to be utterly unaffected by the normal, healthy aging almost all men undergo. I think we're a little taken aback that she's so repulsed by the idea of her two children's' father's thinning scalp.

The entire article equates white to wealthy. Anybody who has spent 2 minutes in the south knows that poor whites are NOT on great terms with code enforcement.

So what they really MEAN is wealthy people of all races are using the system against poor people of all races. But instead they pretend middle class black people can't figure out the system while poor whites are unaffected.

It read like it was written by an upper middle class white girl fresh out of college.
If I were in charge of giving out awards I would give PHP the "Most improved language of the 21st century." PHP3 at the turn of the century was trash but it was easy to build websites with it and it was easy to find people to do so for you. PHP8 is a world away from PHP3.
I recently found myself working on something audio related on Linux (trying to use Espeak-NG with an alternate audio device) and was running some copy & pasted commands from a Github issue or Stackexchange question or something, and realized that I know bugger-all about Audio on Linux. I mean, I've heard all the jargon over the years... ALSA, OSS, PipeWire, PulseAudio, JACK, etc. But I really have almost no concept of how all of this stuff works and how it all ties together, and what all of these commands are really telling me, etc.

So I started googling around trying to find a good resource that explains it all. The site linked above looks like a good starting point, as does this:

https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/start

If anybody else has better suggestions, by all means, please share.

And if anybody else is wondering, "espeak-ng -d <device>" apparently expects as its argument a number drawn from the list returned by this command:

> pactl list short sources

Why is it so? Your guess is as good as mine.

EDIT: and that's apparently only true if you have pulseaudio installed. If you aren't running PA, I'm not sure how you determine how to tell espeak-ng to use a device other than the default. Probably some alsa command or something?

> Why does youtube want to copy tiktok when it clearly has already lost before it begun.

It's no sure thing for youtube, but it's worth trying. Clearly there is a demand.

Also, TikTok can't stay on cruise control. As they inevitably push to monetize, their UX will undoubtedly take a hit. A larger audience means more adversarial actors and trolls which could drive away creators. This has happened to nearly every social network.
I love living in a walkable suburban neighborhood with a supermarket and home store within easy (sub-5 minute) driving distance. Quiet, spacious, ultra convenient. More so than living in the city, because I can carry my purchases in my car all the way into my house.

YMMV. Live where you want. There is no objectively better answer, just preference.

The scrolling thing is even stupider than just being inverted: the scroll direction setting applies to both the trackpad and the mouse wheel. There's no way to make both feel like they're scrolling in the correct direction. Up on the mouse wheel should scroll up and down should scroll down, but the trackpad should behave like you're gripping a physical object and pushing it up to scroll down and pulling it down to scroll up.

That's what's natural to me anyway. I'm sure others will be used to different behaviors. But my point is it should be possible to configure the scroll wheel and trackpad independently to account for all the different preferences.
Yeah I totally agree. It doesn't invalidate his work but it adds quite an ick factor for sure.
I've had decent experience with an Asus motherboard, but yea, everything else fits that description.

I had an asus monitor that would freeze if my macbook woke from sleep while connected to it - I'd have to unplug the monitor from the wall power and plug it back in to reboot it.

I also had an asus laptop that I sent in for repair because it had dead pixels. I should have just returned it, because it took them months to get it back to me, and when they finally did, the plastic around the screen was cracked. And, at that point it was too late to return it for a refund.
Nice map, but the color palette causes some serious eye strain.
I like this work - I'm checking out the vs code plugin now. I originally wrote cfplot to chase deployment times in templates that others had created. Inspecting the stack itself eliminated much of my headache around tracing conditional nested stacks.
To be fair, those 16 cores probably don't work at all until an obscure microcontroller configures them. It's probably running in the Mhz range, off of a flash or EEPROM chip. It's potentially copying in several MB of firmware into other obscure things. Still, that should only be 100ms or so.
Probably talking more like using a disposable or burner phone number that people have used in the past
That overhead is not intrinsic to the concept of a filesystem. If you asked someone to design a filesystem specifically to store short strings they could easily come up with a low-overhead design while preserving the other advantages of real filesystems.
Your first point assumes that you always run a web application. PHP can be used for general purpose scripting as well. Also even on a Web context how would you support websockets with traditional php? You can how achieve that with swoole.
The Windows registry is sort of a copy of the Mac's "resource fork". The original Mac had files with both a data fork, the file contents, and a "resource fork", which is a tree-like database. Preferences and such were stored in resource forks. This was a good idea, implemented badly. Because it was originally designed for floppy disks, writes were very expensive. So resource forks were left open in an inconsistent state after modification, to be closed at program exit. After a crash, resource forks were damaged. Unfortunately, this flaw persisted long after the Mac line got hard drives and more speed.

Apple was on the right track with the concept that most programs needed a database for their state, but, because of the cram job needed to squeeze the original MacOS into 128K of RAM, got stuck on a bad design. Microsoft didn't have that excuse with their Registry.
Totally unrelated, but if it satisfies your confirmation bias then so be it.
Sorry for the late reply! Hmm, I don't have any particular posts I followed on hand, but I learned a lot by watching ElectroBOOM and Ben Eater's videos on YouTube.

At the risk of sounding like an evangelist: if it’s slowing you down, you may be doing it wrong.

If you are hand-crafting interdependent query logic to resolve GraphQL queries from multiple sources and doing that at scale, you may want to look at db adapters and the federation pattern.

Also, GraphQL absolutely still requires error handling in the frontend, and many clients actually provide great facilities for error handling: retrying failed requests, refreshing auth tokens transparently on received auth errors, network state detection, offline functionalities, etc.

WhatsApp has become the main method for sharing messages, pictures, video or memes.

I mean PHP is generally faster than python and has better support for setting up sites quickly (esp in reguards to cost). PHP has a sane package system. I don't know I think you are selling it short.

Wouldn't that make the perfect case for a Cloud Provider, like Google, to do it? If it is not using the machine for gaming it can use it for it's own cloud capacity/elasticity.
It seems to be true for a decent chunk of middle managers, and other sorts of “in the middle” kind of talent. But it is definitely not true for the higher positions. The higher executives are usually the shark-like sociopaths turning middle managers into anxious messes.
I've read different accounts of the alleged Thanksgiving dinner that Americans celebrate. Popularly we are told that it was a dinner to celebrate the Native Americans who came to help Pilgrims who arrived to survive a harsh winter and grow food.

However, other accounts suggest that the dinner was celebrated as an alliance between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag who were at war with other tribes such as the Narragansett.

I mention this because I have read accounts that the Pilgrims knew how to do agriculture fairly well and that disease was the culprit of many deaths. I think it is somewhat strange to assume that any colonists who arrived did not know anything about agriculture. Especially because English colonies had already been set up further to the north than Plymouth Colony prior to the arrival of the Mayflower. I am not an expert in this topic though. But it feels like this is an extremely contentious topic that has been heavily politicized.
An interesting paper. Do you know books/papers to learn more about memory models?
I've worked with PHP throughout 2020, and it is still the worst crap I know.

Static typing: We're not there yet. Lack of generics means arrays can contain anything. Not even close to TypeScript, and let's not compare to functional languages. Types in PHP is still duct-tape.

High performance: Nope. PHP is fast compared to what PHP used to be, but PHP is not fast compared to compiled, optimizing languages. I'm sorry, but this claim of PHP being a performant language is either delusional or unambitious. I basically have not been in contact with PHP in the last two years where performance wasn't a serious problem.

This isn't entirely because PHP performs bad, but largely because PHP programmers, on average, have a weak understanding of CS principles. I don't mean to bash any individuals; I saw a talk by a PHP programmer, whom I have great respect for, as late as yesterday. Incidentally, the talk was about how to make DSLs in Rust.

Maybe if all you did was PHP, PHP is pretty great.

The killer feature of PHP is that you can always find cheap labor.
