Where I am, the F meme has pretty much become part of regular conversation, just like "lol". Granted, I exist in urbanized techie gen z spaces so ymmv.
Probably not worth it. Not trying to be dismissive but genuinely, it's fine to have side effects and if it saves 1000 hrs of engineering over the life cycle of a project I'd wager it's completely worth it.
You can request that your local library purchase a copy, then check it out.
I think the risk with unrestricted access to your database via GraphQL is that it's potentially a very easy DOS attack sitting waiting to be abused, and potentially a security risk if there's some information you shouldn't be exposing (as a very easy example, allowing unrestricted access to a user database would reveal password hashes, reset tokens, etc. which should never be available in a API).

I'm a fan of YAGNI, but basic security and leaving your system trivially vulnerable to attacks are a couple of exceptions in my mind.
You know, I discounted Nial prematurely because its array model seemed weird and different and -- still not actually knowing anything about array languages -- I became very enamored with J's ability to slice and reassemble arrays based on function rank, which is something that I thought Nial could not do (I don't actually remember why I thought this). I should actually read through the Nial docs and see what I've been missing.
Notes from Underground was the book that really pulled me into Dostoevsky (after initially reading C&P and disliking it - I doubtless missed quite a lot the first time through).
Definitely in that category for me.
Ah, I think that’s referring to some of the suppliers (and IP) ASML uses to build its machines, not the EUV tech itself.

If you think about it, ASML wouldn’t be this critical to semiconductor fabrication if it didn’t control the patents for its core tech.
It's pretty safe to assume that almost all of genz and gen alpha has come across the "F" meme at least once. Can't say about older folk.
no, the OP says it in a different sense, namely that even if you are duly impressed by these advancements, they will stop in a few years and a new line of research will be needed
Looks like you can get the first edition for ~$20 on Ebay and ThriftBooks. Not sure if that's still out of your price range, but it's an option if it is. Books are a lot like cars in terms of deprecation in my experience. Not always, but you can usually get a nice big discount buying used. Not as much with software books, but still a decent discount.
> "For one, it has been well established that the "racial" group that is overrepresented in violence against Asians is not "white" people."

Its a typical tactic of the media and the globalist. Find a problem, but instead of dealing with the real cause, find some way to turn it towards attacking the desired group.

They did it with "black lives matter" except its summertime and every weekend for a decade you could find black people being murdered in record numbers in places like Chicago and Baltimore by other black people without so much as a peep from them. For some reason the 1% of deaths outweigh the 99% because the race of the shooter is ultimately what matters, not the fact that black people are dying.

I think barring especially extreme cases this is just the "television is ruining the world" of our generation. I'd describe myself as terminally online as I spend most of my time using the internet in some form.

Regarding use of internet slang, there's the fact that the Covid lockdowns helped accelerate a pretty massive shift in how we interact even with people we can meet in-person. Unless you're living with someone, the bulk of interactions with them are probably going to be online. Then, since you're online you end up using internet slang, which gradually bleeds into regular speech. There is nothing wrong with this.

There's also the issue that you're going to want to share your hobbies with people, which is hard without the internet if your hobby is kind of niche. Most of my hobbies are very niche, I have only ever known 1 person irl and 3 people online who had a similar enough set of hobbies. Even programming and working with electronics, which started as a hobby for me when I was 13-14, only developed because of the ability to find like-minded people online, away from my irl 'friend' group who only saw it as something to make fun of me for and parents who didn't believe in anything but schoolwork and perfect grades.

Overall, this post seems to be based on the assumption that people who are terminally online haven't put thought into their lives or that it's wrong to be okay with it. I can still unplug when having an interaction irl which I think is sufficiently important like with family (although somewhat ironically, the only way for me to interact with my family over the past 2 years was over the internet), but simultaneously, most of the people I enjoy talking to and can deeply relate to are only accessible online.

I get the impression that to the author, "terminally online" is equivalent to being someone who spends all their time getting into heated political arguments on Reddit and Twitter. While I did go through that phase too, I realized how unhappy it was making me and the solution wasn't disconnecting but rather identifying sources of bad content and disengaging. I got rid of all the default subs on Reddit, sticking only to ones related to my hobbies and being very selective about following more subs, same with Twitter. I also got much more selective about replying to things (eg I'll usually just ignore replies to my posts which I feel might devolve into an argument). The result was that the content that made me "ragescroll" went away and I got happier.

You can't "license the result", it's not your decision to make. GPL parts are GPL, CDDL parts are CDDL, BSD parts are BSD and so on. There's no problem with mixing code under different licences. That is, until GPL enters the picture - because GPL is viral, so it (at least according to FSF) claims the non-GPL parts too. It's not a problem for, say, BSD, because it's a subset of GPL[1], but it can be a problem with licenses that guarantee you more freedoms than GPL, like CDDL, Mozilla license, Apache, or even GPLv3.

1. And it used to be a problem with the old BSD, with the advertising clause, precisely because it wasn't a subset.
Any set of rules can seem reasonable on paper. It's the implementation of those rules that can vary greatly based on the HOA board. So that takes more investigation to figure out. And it is impossible to know who might be elected to the board next and who might become your neighbors next who may vote differently.
I like that claim that adding more atoms (an extra oxygen and hydrogen for H3O2) still makes it perfectly safe water, and not say a horrendous oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

Edit: I actually looked it up, it forms Hydroxyoxidanium, a unstable ionic compound that seems to decompose pretty much immediately
I don’t like Nix.

It’s hard to use. It solves a problem that Docker already solved and Docker UX is much better.

And it has a DSL that I think is unnecessary for the problem at hand.

When you are running the Pirate Bay the internet is real life, and it also is when you have a business, but when you are on an MMORPG or Twitter it is real life to a much lesser degree. How can we distinguish between them? Well, the majority of relationships made on MMORPGs or Twitter go nowhere outside the platform, and the things that people discuss on them also tend to not involve anything that will still be there when the person logs off. That creates a pocket universe (with a few exceptions, I think some people have met their spouses on MMORPGs) unrelated to the real one. Operating Pirate Bay, or even talking about Linux kernel drivers on IRC, doesn't meet that criteria of being separate from real life.

This seems really misjudged and irresponsible when everyone is trying to push the message, "Trust expert scientists in their field".

"Except when they're joking, but you don't know enough about their field to tell if they're joking, so you just have to hope" is not a helpful message.

Whatever his goal actually was, it could have been achieved without damaging trust in scientists.

On second thought, what I should have said was "transhumanists focus on improving the human body". Transitioning may improve your mental health (debatably) but it does not improve your physiological capabilities, and in case of MTF transition arguably worsens your body (bone density, muscle mass, fat distribution and so on)
I've used it in industry and it was nothing short of a disaster. Only one person could fix builds, despite many genuinely brilliant engineers putting in hours to learn it. More so, the time sink... Literally, what takes 29 minutes for a fresher to do in docker takes them two weeks with nothing to show for it in nix. Absolutely do not recommend it for industry whatsoever. Most people, except the one advocate for it, see it as a failed experiment.
This email really freak me out
Context: https://ibb.co/WgQ7WXH

A machine-learning company named Qdrant recently sends me a promotional email (as attached on screenshot)

this, really freak me out!!!!!

- the email address that they're send are never being on the same account where my real name belongs

- the email address that they're send are never registered on my private github account (with m real name), I have 2 github account (company & private), both of them are unrelated

- they marketing data are based on my github stars? wth?

"Relation" of my data https://ibb.co/MRXnK3B

I come to ask directly to the person who sends me the email, and they're just replying with:

- what is your email?

- you are not into machine learning?

really no idea how they got my real & well-connected data, any suggestion to prevent this on future?
> I don’t think learning nix from its internals is worth it, especially not for beginners.

Nitpick: what you're calling 'Nix internals' are actually Nixpkgs internals.

FWIW, I think that to some extent this is just the way you have to go when you're trying to quickly take up a new (to you) configuration language for practical purposes.

I've somewhat recently started putting together some simple CI/CD pipelines at work with a tool called Dagger, which is a container image builder-and-runner based on BuildKit and the CUE language.

When I first started learning Nix years ago, I had a lot of packaging trouble with some quirky software that wasn't yet packaged for Nix, and I only ended up getting unstuck by asking for help on IRC. One generous person was hitting me with incredibly helpful links to examples from Nixpkgs and the documentation left and right, and I was astonished with their fluency. I asked them how they knew all this, and they basically said:

> Idk, one day I just sat down and started to read through some of the Nixpkgs codebase, and now I `grep -R` through it a lot to look for examples.

At the time it sounded adventurous and crazy to me, as I was pretty intimidated by the prospect. Eventually that became one of my standard tools: I treat the Nixpkgs repo as another source of documentation.

Fast forward to today and my Dagger implementation efforts, and things got immensely easier for me the moment I started treating Dagger like Nix. I cloned the upstream Dagger repository and started searching through the unit tests with `rg`, and all the answers to my questions about what functionality Dagger exposes via CUE modules were right there. Tons of the guesswork disappeared, even though I don't yet have a great grasp of the CUE language.

In some ways, the Dagger case is harder, though. In the name of simplicity and partly for other language design reasons, CUE is emphatically not Turing-complete. This is interesting and attractive in some ways, but one of the consequences is that sometimes you hit bottom in the CUE libraries to find some compiler directive that links in functionality which had to be implemented in a Real™ programming language (in this case, Go). So to really understand, e.g., the custom data types Dagger uses for secrets, you have to go read code in another language.

By contrast, in the Nix case, the language is powerful enough that you can learn everything you need to for even very advanced Nix usage only by reading Nixlang, either in Nixpkgs or in other examples. You never actually have to dive into true 'Nix internals' (the Nix repo, which is C++ code) to figure out how something in a Nix example is achieved. With a more restricted DSL, you sometimes do.

Maybe one valuable 'missing manual' would be something like 'How to read Nixpkgs'! It's such a rich source of examples. I think making earlier reference to it could help a lot of people make faster progress and feel more effective when learning Nix.
I've noticed that Wheel of Time can be very fun to complain about: the plot goes nowhere fast, there's too much gender war dialogue, too many characters are belligerent idiots. But people still read it and talk about it, passionately. So it's still somehow engaging despite or maybe even because of the flaws.
I think it's better to have some balance. There's too much anti-China propaganda in the western media. Some balance is good. Nothing is ever black and white.
That’s because the word is “multichannel”. Safari on iOS, at least, doesn’t find “channel”. Not sure about other browsers.
One of my favorite computer books of all time, along with Stephenson's "In the Beginning... Was the Command Line." Happy to see a second edition, bought a copy for my kids to read and also to support Petzold.
I'd recommend that pair of books to anyone wanting to really understand computers.
I was just pointing out that knowledge of the meme wasn't as obscure as having actually played the game, which would be a much more limited audience than even just reddit users.
Thanks. I guess we'll have to wait for a publication to know what was done exactly.
We've already seen this to some extent with GANs - which now look somewhat outdated in comparison with Dall-e and others

This was at least a decade before multithreading in C and Unix. But yes this "technique" would have failed miserably in a multithreaded environment.
There is a Zoom setting in preferences “stop my video when joining a video meeting”. There is also the dialog that pops up before you join asking if you want to join with or without video.

>The sad truth is that we are becoming an illiterate society.

I guess this is the shame hook of the article. I don't think we're illiterate, probably the opposite. The amount of knowledge I gain by reading things other than books far surpasses the amount of knowledge I've gained reading books, and I've read a lot of them.

What's the point of reading books? Gaining knowledge. What's the point of riding a horse? Travel. Just because one method of doing a thing is losing popularity doesn't mean we are illiterate or we don't travel.

In fact, I think it's the opposite. I can read a 500 page book about a topic and retain maybe 1/10th of it after a year. I can read a wikipedia article on the same subject and retain 90% of it a year later. The latter is certainly better for a broad base of knowledge for the curious.
Being less than 50% of the lawmakers in a society as active followers of your regilion seems quite far from non-existance.

By that metric, Catholics, Jews, Athiests and African-Americans don't exist, and have never existed, and probably will never exist in the USA (they didn't and don't even exist when grouped together as "non-protestants").

Back to Quakers, shortly fter they "tolerated themselves out of exisitence" in Pennsylvania, they manage to have input into the Constitution of the newly formed US so punching above their weight for people who didn't exist.
It isn’t. TSMC has multiple customers lined up with the volume required to ramp these processes to high volume, Intel only has their own designs and whatever foundry customers willing to be an Intel guinea pig.

TSMC also has extensive experience with these machines compared to Intel.

It's so safe that when a death happens it makes the news. When hundreds of people get killed by cars every year it doesn't even get picked up unless it was a kid.

I'd even say it's probably more dangerous for the human on the bike if they get thrown off the bike in a weird way.
And so much of it is rehashed ancient philosophy, such as "moderation in all things". So much of is basically the Tao Te Ching, or astrology.

That is to say, it's not true! but over millennia, humans have found it to be useful. Try not to get annoyed by writing that isn't meant for you (assuming you don't get any value out of it, it's a tautology that you are not the intended audience.)
Been using it for at least 6-8 months. Works well everywhere, last I checked didn't work on iOS devices due to the Tailscale client not caring about the custom preferences loaded.

Not a problem for me, the only Apple devices I have are not iOS but I'd imagine a dealbreaker for some.
If I'm reaching for this form, I'm likely thinking about a pipeline of unary functions, and the TC39 proposal seems to take the same approach. Plus, doesn't every other function in the pipeline need to be unary after the first?

As a half-baked thought, perhaps callPipe would take exactly one non-function argument to start the pipeline (which would appeal to most use cases), and applyPipe could take an array of args, mimicking the call/apply duality in native JS?
Complete opposite experience. Even with engineers who knew their stuff. It's been more of a burden in my opinion then a tool. Just use GitHub actions and docker.
>Do you suggest that parent commenter should now go and change their policy on comments to solve this real immediate issue?

I mean what is your suggestion to OP? Putting their head in the sand and acting like Github didn't remove a feature they in fact had removed? It's a very niche feature (so much so that more comments seem to misunderstand the feature than actually miss the feature) so the chance of Github not removing it is fairly low even if complaining causes them to delay it a bit.
I think I was maybe too casual with my language. Flakes are clearly marked experimental in the documentation. But they were a no-brainer a year ago, they’re always “a few months” from being official, they map directly onto users’ intuition around lock files, they enable principled composition of shit that doesn’t live in nixpkgs, the list goes on.

Outside of some (hypothetical to me) edge cases, not using them is masochism.

Flakes have a standard library (“flake-utils”) and and a pimped out version (“flake-utils-plus”).

Making it a weird gymnastics trick for a novice user to even access them is the kind of shit GHC devs say, “no, that’s too user-hostile even for us”.

Use flakes.
Huh, I'm guessing they're using one of many marketing services that will "fill" profiles for users where you supply some fields and it will attempt to fill the rest. Agreed on it being scary
I mean the “both sides bad” angle is flatly stated in the editorial:

> Ossified thought and a lack of intellectual rigour are depressing features of all sides of our political and cultural debate.

It’s pretty clear they’re trying to dress up their agenda-ed editorials as “common sense” compromise but if middle-of-the-road were truly the publication’s aim I can’t imagine Haskings would have had any interest in funding it.

So you want NixOS/FreeBSD? I'm actually not sure that that does need PkgBase - in fact, it might be mostly irrelevant since you'd end up writing a nix package for the FreeBSD base system anyways.
This is helpful feedback, and requiring responses with votes was already something we were pondering. And I'm increasingly leaning in that direction.

One thing that wasn't covered in the blog post was the intention for downvotes to cost reputation, same as on SE right now. That should help disincentivize brigading to some degree.

The field system may also help counter that tendency to some degree. By choosing which fields you publish in, you can choose the subset of people able to review and vote.

But there is also a degree to which we will try to counter this with culture. The cultures of internet communities can be extremely stick and resistant to change, both good and bad. Just think about Reddit vs StackExchange. Roughly similar systems (though with very different goals and guidelines), very different cultures. If we can establish a strong culture on the platform from the get go - a culture of low ego collaboration and seeking good science above all else, that can potentially help counter some of the worse tendencies of wider academia as more and more of it moves into the platform. At least in the early days, before we can afford active moderation. In the long run, active moderation, and tools for community moderation, can help as well.
Racism in 21st century is a misleading term for social problems. It is barking against the wrong tree.

Some people, because their education level, would accept and believe whatever their info source pour to them. I’m from China. I know how aggressive the “little-pinks” would behave online and in real world.

Unfortunately, for some reason, this population can roughly map to some races. The political industry is using this issue to rake in their own internet. They are preventing this problem to be fixed.
