Well at least it doesn’t sound more elitist than it sounds like having Dunning-Kruger. You’re uncritically accepting your own assumption as truth.

In reality, even the best universities have more than a few horrible professors, and a student that’s struggling in class may actually just be going through a rough patch.

"David Boies, attorney for the DoJ, noted that John Warden, for Microsoft, had omitted to quote part of a handwritten note by Fred Anderson, Apple's CFO, in which Anderson wrote that "the [QuickTime] patent dispute was resolved with cross-licence and significant payment to Apple." The payment was $150 million. "
It’s a dumb argument anyway because it’s misunderstanding who the “users” are that would be impacted by this type of thing.

I cannot think of a workflow outside of programming where I would need to think about case sensitive filenames. If I’m an end user, I’m not programming, and I’m being forced to type accurate filenames into a box, either I’m doing it wrong or the software I’m using is an abomination.

If I’m programming, on the other hand, I’d better bloody know how files work.

> I heard a couple metaphors about this recently. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect to love others fully?

If the only kind of love that one know how to show is constant belittling and striking to the point of serious injury, and learning that this is both how you say I-Love-You and if you loved them back you would endure it silently, could you honestly say that you'd want to love yourself?
Sticking a resistor in line with a too-loud speaker or too-bright LED is about the simplest thing you can do, and won’t mess with the sound quality. It’s not like they’re hacking the firmware or something.
The difficulty back then was mostly caused by the technology of the day when targeting was done by hand and sight, and where the pilot flew the plane by looking out from a window and using eye sight and memory to figure out where they were.

Those technical issues of bomber planes are long gone, but the vulnerability of damns are just as they were 80 years ago. A bunker buster would go through the concrete as a knife through butter, and the targeting would be done with laser precision. The navigation and execution would today be done by computers.

A cruise missile and a lancaster has very little in shared technology, and depending on definition isn't even in the same category. The construction of a 1940 hydroelectric damn and a hydroelectric damn in 2022 is basically indistinguishable. Concrete holding up water is concrete holding up water.
I've taken old HDDs to a commercial shredding service. They have a special shredder for electronics and will let you watch your drives/tablets/etc being destroyed. I think it is a pretty common service, there are quite a few places that do this in my city. Does get expensive if you have a bunch, though.
My theory is that people who are parroting anti-intellectualist sentiments are really just reacting to socioeconomic inequality and academic elitism, but I fully agree with you that it’s an unfortunate, far more self-destructive response.

I'd just caution being too quick on equating "the Internet" to the sub-section of the Internet consisting of "ad-supported search engines taking you to blog content."

The Internet is much bigger than google.com, and there are a lot of ways to use it outside of that experience.
It's more modern to refer to them as library stasi, anyway. And probably slightly more accurate.

If you live in California your HOA can’t legally block you from installing panels.

I like your idea though. Let people who can’t get solar for whatever reason invest in solar elsewhere and get some money back or a credit against their own usage.
I used to work for a law firm. We did CMSOpen and wrote ASP pages to share data with other offices. I did a docket calendar from scratch. I want to do that open source for small law firms to share with other court personnel.
This light emission that cools the semiconductor is like when sweating cools you.

The part of the sweat which evaporates is formed by molecules that have a higher average energy than corresponding to the body temperature, so the body loses energy and its temperature goes down.

The photons emitted by a LED have also a higher energy than the average energy of the photons that are emitted or absorbed as thermal radiation, corresponding to the semiconductor temperature, so the LED loses energy by emitting light, so its temperature tends to go down.

The LED also receives energy from the electrical current which passes through it and the heating due to the passing of the electrical current is normally greater than the cooling due to the emitted light.

Except that in special conditions the electrical heating can be less than the cooling due to light emission, so if the LED becomes cooler than the ambient temperature, heats begins to flow into the LED from the ambient medium and this provides additional energy, which balances the energy lost by light emission.
"Standard college harmony textbooks" don't even properly account for Mozart, Haydn or Beethoven, let alone these later composers. The shared structural framework that helps explain them all is thoroughbass, combined with a repertory of common patterns and moves (known as "schemata" in the recent music-theory literature) and styles of melodic elaboration that ultimately come from the improvisation-heavy performance practice of vocal music. (Conversely, melodic reduction would've been needed to understand complex melodies as elaborations of simpler ones. We now know that this was standard practice in the 18th-c. equivalent of solfège!) None of these things are explored, however cursorily, in the standard textbooks. Even counterpoint is not really developed properly - the way it would've been understood by successful 18th-c. musicians - and is often presented in a needlessly obscure and unfamiliar manner as a result.
> Also, 'crucial' is subjective.

So are all the "thankfully"s in your reply that you seem to consider rebuttals of anything.
But... how do you know that? Without ECC, the only way would be that none of your other machines have ever crashed at all, right?
I know of a few small ISPs that run NetBSD on SOKRIS(sp?) machines to do routing at edge pops.
I don't have any good references to cite but from my understanding, well designed LED systems only get dimmer over time (quite reasonably slowly) due to various semiconductor physics. However, by far the most common failure mode for electronics including LEDs is shock and fatigue to the interconnect. This means if you let your LED thermal cycle repeatedly, even to well below datasheet maximums, the solder and bonding are quite likely to fail.

I'm not sure how your aquarium lights are configured (whether they cycled or were always on) but honestly 5-7 years is already quite impressive. There's not really any other lighting technology that can do that. 5-7 years of constant usage also far exceeds what consumer batteries can usually do, which are something on the order of hundreds of "actual cycles" before significant capacity degradation. That translates to maybe a couple years, but definitely less than five.

I have no experience with SKI calculus so I may be misinterpreting how to apply these functions. But it seems to me that the definition of F doesn't work quite right. After trying my own hand at it for several minutes and getting stuck, I looked at the Wikipedia page and found a different definition for S.

I don't know of these two systems with the same name are computationally equivalent or if the author simply made a crucial mistake in the definitions.
I mean, it does work… I use it to run stuff like istioctl and rke on my fbsd workstation no problems…
The author makes it sound as if it's impossible to use reinforcement learning or some other technique to solve the ligand-bound conformations and automate the drug discovery process. Alphafold is probably just part 1 of the story.
Interesting. Started to google things to see if I could find anything existing and came across this article...

https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/295876008

Solar development required private investment to supplement public spending, the researchers found. For the projects to be valuable investments, developers managed their financial risks by increasing the size of the projects and spreading the risks across multiple projects. Large solar developers seek to build or acquire new projects to spread their risks and generate more profits, which in turn makes it easier to get low-cost loans.

The result is an energy system characterized by a few very large generating stations linked to consumers over long transmission lines, rather than a more distributed system serving communities closer in proximity. That makes consumers vulnerable to an extreme weather event 1,000 miles away, Kennedy said.
The "meander" from A Soft Murmur and/or "animate" from MyNoise are kinda the starting point, but I'd like something that is a bit more scripted. So, for the thunderstorm example, it would loop a drizzle for some randomized amount of time (or better, a random mix of drizzle tracks), then transition into the "violent thunderstorm" mix, then maybe switch over to a calm night mix, all over the course of a few hours. The logical extreme of this might even integrate time of day for an alarm clock, for example.

The interface I'm imagining is something like a playlist interface but instead of just tracks it has composable "sound elements". A single track might be a basic sound element, a traditional one-after-another track list is another sound element, then we get the interesting ones like a random crossfade mix of elements, or a one-after-another with randomized loop times for each track.
It might be presumptuous of me, but maybe you're encountering the same issue I did/do: git as a tool doesn't seem mentally compatible with github
/gitlab/etc.

Locally, git almost makes sense. I make a change, I commit it to the tree of changes. I can roll it back, or branch it off, or merge branches, or restore from a previous point, and so on.

It's when some kind of external repository gets involved where the model breaks down for me, especially if it's public/open source.

Someone wants to help me fix a bug? Cool! They got my code from GitHub and modified it. Now they want their changes to be merged into my version. They submit a pull request. A what? They want me to pull their code into mine? Why isn't it called a push request, where they request permission to push their changes into my maintained repository?

And so on.

Before commenting please read the article which shows a less horrifying story than the title suggests. These graves were in poor repair, and they were in the middle of the great depression, so decided they could keep them neat enough by cutting the part with the names off and placing them flat on the ground, similar to a lot of humble crematorium graves today. The marble left was sold, I would guess to cover the cost of the work at a time when there would have been absolutely no money available for this sort of purpose.
(I am not an American and was in America only as a tourist). Why the company don't go to the police and press charges against clear fraudster? If people knew that would be a consequence - they will think twice before pulling a stunt like this.
I don't understand.

Bad brands aren't sticky in this situation, are there. (I don't know whether good brands are sticky here.) So there's no extra incentives for planned obsolescence, because the next purchase is more than likely to go to a competitor.

Or what do you mean?
Fat clients are mobile phones and tablets.

Different sellers have different policies, customers can pick which (if any) policy they like better. New supplier can enter the market.

Is it possible for the open source community to collectively run for office?
Or a person whose only campaign promise is to listen to a crypto or open source decision making body? Is that dystopian? Putting some cyber punks in charge?
No it doesn't - that's my daily routine. I just microdose on some days on top of it.
There's also that Haxe is older than a lot of the stuff we take for granted today. It's roots are in ActionScript, and it started as basically a successor to AS2 before Adobe came out with ActionScript 3. It did "same codebase on server and client" by compiling to flash bytecode and PHP before node existed. It's ECMAScript/AS roots + static types + type inference make it feel like alternate-timeline TypeScript as it also compiles to JS.

So it's completely comfortable for me. AND I can hit C++ if the platform demands it!
No, this sounds like a scrapbooking cruise but for lowlifes instead of soccer moms. I don’t want to live next to anyone who’s done time in a place like this.
> In markets where I am in a position to analyze the wisdom in premium options... even though the cost premium to produce quality is small.

Which just shows that going for premium can be a very lucrative strategy for the supplier! Exactly as I suggested.
You write a brand new email to a brand new person to ask for their unpaid assistance, and you don’t start with “hello”?

It’s unusual but I can get over that. It’s the rest of the message that gets me. Some people need my help but can’t be arsed to write a halfway decent question. Then it’s my job to figure out what they even need, what they want to achieve, their situation, etc…
Doesn't Adobe still make tools that support this style of creation? I thought they did but it's been a while.
And yet the whiskey is so different, obviously Bourbon is far superior, with its sweet oaky flavor. The south iterated and improved the idea. :)
Yes, and I am suggesting that regulation is lagging consumer sentiment (which is the driving force for both regulation and the market).
I really like that tweet. It’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
guess it depends on how specialized to vulkan you mean. Like, Aras in this article even mentioned BGFX as a potential abstracted library, and I'm 99.9% certain that it supports vulkan now. But you can certainly argue that with BGFX you're not "writing vulkan".

But if you wanted something that was "vulkan but without 1000 lines to make a triangle", that's what Open GL was trying to be 25 years ago. So Vulkan naturally diverged from that model after seeing the weaknesses. I'm unsure if there's any maintained package trying to wrap this stuff; that's something a graphics engineer would end up doing anyways.

A private right of action and waiver of immunity solves most of the “bad actor” problems.

The big issue is how to preserve what actually needs to be secret (in the interest of the USA, not the interests of the bureaucracy) while forcing everything else to be public.

A lot of things are secret that don’t need to be secret; that’s a side effect of mandatory data classification and normal bureaucratic incentives- you won’t get in trouble for over-classifying, and classified information is a source of bureaucratic power. So you have to introduce a really strong personal incentive to offset that or nothing will ever change.

Personally, I don’t think that information should be classified if it came from public sources. Or maybe only allow such information to be classified for a short period of time, eg one year.

The longer and/or higher the classification level, the more effort should be involved, to create disincentives to over-classification.
With Java their playbook was to sell licenses for the embedded world and that only caused problems for everyone involved. Some Linux Distros ended up actively sabotaging Java with GCJ because of FREEDOM(TM). Various companies where blocking the community process to force a license change. Google ended up stitching together its own mostly incompatible Java but not implementation. Even the move to OpenJDK was used as basis of fear mongering when the licensing of the proprietary JDK was updated.
> - Most people also have an internal gender identity of themselves as a man or a woman, which is a bit of a fuzzy concept but seems to be something innate along the lines of sexuality.

I personally haven't seen any evidence that gender identity is innate in a way that doesn't relate to biological sex.
Chronic pains. I try to skip days when my pain is better, but those are not very frequent.

At Safari's inception there were good Mac browsers. Camino and OmniWeb were capable browsers and Cocoa native. While Netscape and IE of the time sucked on Mac they weren't the only options.

I think Safari was more about guaranteeing a native browser on the Mac. There was a lot of speculation they'd adopt Camino, they hired its lead developer, but instead went with KHTML.

I'd guess they didn't want to be tied to Mozilla after watching Netscape flail around for so long. KHTML was so much lighter than Gecko as well with far less baggage to work around.
Any vitamin or multivitamin or mineral supplements can have effects only on people whose diet is deficient in those vitamins or minerals, and only up to a certain daily intake, above which no improvements are likely.

Depending on their diet, some supplements may be life-saving for some people or completely useless for others.
A compelling idea, yet I worry that the authors who go this route will once again be stymied when activists demand that major booksellers stop carrying works from such a problematic publisher.
> It's like any other piece of tech: once you internalize the mental model and are able to translate those abstractions in your language of choice everything clicks.

While this is true, I think the ultimate assesment of a technology is how easy is it for someone skilled at doing similar work to internalize the model and abstractions.

A tech stack can become really successful only if this is easy and relatively quick, otherwise, it will meet a lot of resistance. Partly because it's hard to master, but partly because so many people will be misusing it (which makes an even bigger annoyance for someone who's trying to get to a proper mental model).

As such, I've come to appreciate only models that majority of developers can easily get right on the first go: or rather, models which are hard to get wrong.
perhaps this has already been considered. Indeed, prior to war, there were different factions on Ukraine who worked hard to avoid this circumstance, perhaps in anticipation of the sacrifices that would be asked of the people. However, people in formal control may not actually be in control
- New computer design (I have many ideas), without USB, Unicode, HDMI, spyware, etc. Including new instruction set even, if needed. Everything would be patent-free, FOSS, and include full documentation.

- Non-smart TV and other stuff. It should good quality and last for long enough time, too.

- More trees, etc.
That means really inefficient scheduling of the different teams involved in making such a project happen. It'll drive up the cost significantly to have them start and stop multiple times, perhaps to the point of making it entirely uneconomical. Labor is already the largest cost of solar projects, after all
Are you saying you bought and had 9 pairs of shoes (3 brands, 3 sizes) and are returning 8 because you weren't able to make a choice?

Do you think about the environmental impact of shipping around all your crap because you can't figure out what size or brand to pick?

The real option here is to pick a shoe, and pick a size. If the size doesn't fit, return it for the larger or smaller? If shipping is next day, or two day or whatever, can you really not wait that extra time?

I get that the local stores don't stock specialty items, and you may think my comment is misguided, but I look at all the thousands of people who behave similar to you, and how much waste that creates.
I've noticed this smartphone layout in comics before and I recognise the strengths but find it really less enjoyable to read. I have to be constantly scrolling and it's difficult to ever settle into a scene and feel it since they're gone in the blink of an eye. In regular pages that panel is still on the page and/or you can play with panel size and layout to create impact, but I just don't feel it with these scrolling comics.

That being said, I /do/ like the transition thing you mentioned.
The answer to this question should probably come from a government or non-profit agency that will end being a adversarial to Amazon.
I personally think your perspective is a "sour grapes" about adult daycare. Why does the world need gatekeepers of the world's curiosities? How can they justify their six figure pricetag when the numbers skew so heavily towards "bad investment"? Framing it as "either you get a degree or you're a Superbowl Kardashian pleb" is the most midwit redditor take you could possibly have.

My friend used to make dice. Kick up some clay on the yard, form them and heat it on a heater made from batteries and paper clips then fill in the holes for the numbers with toothpaste.
