I was on a very similar trail of thought. Is this what you're looking for? Kinda overly cutesy graphics but I believe all the functionality is there:

P.S. Then I used it for a few days and realized the platform itself didn't help that much. It's actually the act of writing/thinking that gets the ideas rollin around in my own head, that's the real useful part.
Almost unheard of in Australia and New Zealand.
To the contrary, you're being underly skeptical. This is a huge claim to base of a sample size of one guy at one event.

To state the obvious that I hope doesn't need to be said to this audience: a sample size of one tells us exactly nothing. What's saying this one guy one time didn't have a nasty stomach bug?

A crazy claim like this requires some kind of study not just one guy's story.
No, Sony has always had exclusive agreements with certain studios properties (and then purchased those studios later on) going back to the late 90s, before Microsoft ever entered the console market.

This sort of behaviour was well established in the industry.
I 100% disagree with your idea that you, or anyone for that matter, is just here to disagree with other people’s ideas. Nobody disagrees with stuff just for the sake of disagreement. Who would do such a thing?

Don’t bother answering that question though because you’d be wrong.
The developers don't have full control like that. They were only able to execute TheDAO hard fork because the community was very small at the time and was reasonably united behind the developers in carrying it out. It was something of a unicorn of circumstances that it was even possible because the funds were still locked up for a period of time and the hacker couldn't sell them, which meant there was only a single loser in the fork (the hacker), and a large community of winners or people who weren't directly effected either way. I personally think the refund stage of things should not have happened and the funds should have been burned instead, simply as a means to make sure the investors learned that risks of interacting with ethereum contracts were still very real. But that said I wasn't involved in crypto at all then, so, what do I know...
2 years later though.

Bungie used to make games for macOS. The predecessor Marathon Trilogy was originally released on macOS (and only Marathon 2 was ported to Windows). Halo was supposed to be originally released on macOS too, and then Microsoft bought the studio and turned it into an Xbox game, leaving all of the existing macOS userbase out in the cold.

Their purchase of Bungie also screwed up the IP rights to Oni. Wikipedia says that when Microsoft acquired Bungie, negotiations with Take-Two Interactive (which owned a share of Bungie) left Take-Two with the rights to Oni, and the sequel was eventually canceled. I don't have a citation on this but from what I understand, nobody is willing to touch Oni again (not even for an HD remake) because something about the IP rights is so messy that nobody wants to (or maybe nobody is even able to) untangle it. Which really sucks because it was a great game.
If you think it’s hard to get an AI to render what’s in your mind, try another human artist. Specifying something visually complex with an assumption that it’ll be precisely what you’re imagining is shockingly hard. I’m not surprised prompt creation is so complex. At least with the AI bots the turn around time for iteration is tight. That said humans likely iterate fewer times, but each iteration takes a long time.
Not a fan of worse is better.

I have some rough thoughts on expressing why:

> This leads one of the major cognitive biases in software development where people speak of tradeoffs without establishing they are Pareto Optimal, and wrongly arriving at the conclusion “nothing more can be done without a huge effort”.

He's probably just ignorant of how bad things can get. Hidden files in a home directory is a lot better than what other operating systems came up with (random directories and the dreaded registry). I'd call it a win - the search over a home directory inode is not going to bother anyone either way.
Now I've seen that, I really want more dates written on angry black cats. I'm even prepared to switch to the USA middle endian date style if that's what it takes.

Which is strange, in a way. As an european, my mind screams about USA dates not going from least to most discriminating precision. How can anybody think this makes any sense.

Then I look at my adress, written :

Street housenumber bus, postalcode city, country

Which is just as insanely middle endian as the US date and of course it makes total sense to me. I still claim to be a rational being.
The concurrent medical situation where teens in the US/UK/CA have been prescribed puberty blockers and hormones with almost 0 oversight or evaluation makes me pretty unable to trust "strict medical guidelines" on irreversible procedures.

As part of this they also announced they have 18 people that are executives / manager types as part of the "team". The company in the picture is ~40 people roughly. So almost half of the company is management / executives?
> Having a clear indication that the package you're downloading is related to the code you need might have helped people avoid the most recently discovered PyPi bad actors, though perhaps not entirely.

How is that supposed to work? Someone getting to "asci2text" must have done a search on PyPI for the package, right? How are they supposed to match that with the expected info?

Certainly the vendor could publish that, but equally certainly it could publish the pip install command to copy&paste at the same place.

It's all optics, their supposed "progressive" view. Wealthy people angry that GPUs got so expensive, overpowered energy suckers they'd gladly use for high-end gaming whilst having the AC on full blast. Nobody cares one bit about high energy use. Calling out crypto is a great distraction though to virtue signal that you're "on the good side".

As was the case with the Mozilla incident. Mozilla had been accepting crypto donations for many years. Until somehow this got back into the news and some influential "progressives" applied the very typical mob pressure, forcing Mozilla to stop.

And all is right again in the world. Except that people willing to give crypto (which is a form of money) now won't or can't. Less income for Mozilla whilst crypto in itself is in absolutely no way harmed. It's still there, same energy use, I guess it will now be spent elsewhere.

That's the new progressive. Obsessively cleaning your self-image, whilst outcomes are completely ignored or achieve the exact opposite.

What do you actually do with NetBSD once it's been installed on everything on earth? It seems like one of those small computers that's supposedly for education but is actually only used for dads to install NES emulators on.
Storing the data directly inside the application still means you need to store it somewhere, likely a SQL database (such as PostgreSQL). These databases are insanely well engineered and very very fast, but compared to a key value store such as Redis and Memchached they are comparatively slow and resource hungry (because they are optimized for different things).

So if you can fetch some cached data from a Redis key, even if on the same machine, it will cost you significantly less than querying a relational database.
Cool post! I seem to remember reading some of Richard Feynman’s writing about this: people doing computations on cards and then “passing them on” to the next person - think it was during the Manhattan Project. It is phenomenal how far computing has come; i like hearing about people using punch cards for computing etc
I don't see anything in this article that backs your claim.
You're using a term, TERF, which is used to spur stochastic terrorism[1] by implying that adult human females aren't to be allowed to explain their political needs. You're also using fake quotes (very loose paraphrases in quote marks) to support your demonization.

But, even if she or Dave had said that transwomen are men, and that as such they're as much risk to women (rape, violence, etc) as any other men, why would such an opinion not be worthy to be expressed. It seems distinctly less harmful than accepting the other side on faith, given the many rapes committed by trans-identified-men on women in women's prisons[2] for one.

> the statement "Survivors usually regret it" does not apply here.

You're not wrong but you may be right for the wrong reasons.
Fresh meat contains vitamin C, as does liver.

In fact, it has been known for hundreds of years that fresh meat prevents scurvy — the reason people associate vitamin C with citrus is because lemons were taken on board long ship voyages back in the day to prevent scurvy — but this is because you can’t keep meat fresh for months on a ship without refrigeration.
Comedy is also like other things - you may be good at it but it doesn’t mean you want to turn it into a career.

I’ve been asked at times if I had ever considered standup or doing some kind of comedy or joining in on things - but I am funny because I want to entertain people I like, not strangers. When I tell stories or bits to strangers to get a laugh - I don’t really get the same sense of pleasure out of it as I do with a group of friends.

I’ve considered being more intentional and getting very good at comedy but in some ways - I like the uncoordinated trial and error.
I do wonder why one would sell a business that makes $10M+ per year in profit, with little debt, and already has management in place running the thing for you.

Nice way to describe your taste in bubbles.
"near-Byzantine" is not a very clear term you can reason about. A system is either Byzantine-fault-tolerant, in which case it handles all Bizantine faults, or it is not. A system that is tolerant to some faults (that you may want to call "Byzantine") is not BFT.

You don't call plaintext SMS "tamper-resistent" because it resists to some simple tampering. You don't call your house "FBI resistant" because you managed to convince them once to turn around.

A Byzantine fault is clearly defined as a case where a specific node may be doing anything, including not know it has failed, including malicious behavior. It is important that people know what class of faults their system is designed to resist; for Raft/Paxos, it is NOT Byzantine faults. Those systems are pretty great, but trying to pretend they aim at BFT is dangerous misinformation...
I just checked quickly so may be wrong, but it looks like they're pulling the same trick as with the new scoped threads, ie only lexical scoping. Note also that the scope function is blocking and called from within an async fn, which is normally not great for composability with other async code.

That said, taking a step back it has crossed my mind that bringing back true scoping with unsafe in the impl might be an acceptable way forward, despite how upsetting this is to a lot of rustaceans. I think that the failure modes (ie triggering UB) for this case can be simply enumerated in a short list of "DON'Ts" (such as putting a scoped join handle in an Arc).

OTOH, since leaking was formalized and explicitly allowed (heck, even borderline encouraged through mem::forget), god knows if people have exploited that for other cases in true Hyrum's law fashion, that breaks the abovementioned idea. They certainly had the right to.

I used to play with people I met at university and work. But I have to admit that most of the people I invited to join gave up as soon as they launched their first single game. Most were turned off by the complexity of the game interface or the old school graphics.
The standard UNIX file system layout exists because hard drives were small at the time and files had to be split across several.

The VI keyboard shortcuts only make logical sense on a specific Tektronix 4014 terminal that was popular at the time: 46 years ago.

The reason the delete key is broken in like half of all UNIX / Linux systems is because TTY is short for “teletypewriter” — literally a remote type writer banging out text on dead trees. The carriage can go back one character at a time and overwrite an error but it can’t shift printed text on paper.

Windows was developed in an era of CRT displays and delete works with it consistently.

This is why it cracks me up whenever someone talks a out “Linux being the standard”…
The feminist they helped is an anti-trans activist who was posting "No Men In Women's Bathroom" posters. I'm also not sure if she is LGBT. They have also helped an Anti-CRT activist per their "cases" page, which contains a video about "AntiWoke".

This organization has a peculiar pattern, much of which revolves around attacking the Equality Act, which tries to protect people based on:

"Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage and civil partnership, Race, Religion or belief, Sex, Sexual orientation"

With that laid bare, I guess their pattern isn't so peculiar, huh.

This isn't "politics", it is simply about suppressing minorities.
100% of the suicide attempts who do not survive do not regret their attempts.

This suggests to me that we should focus on increasing the success rate if we wish to minimize regret.
Enough with ‘Human-AI Collaboration’
Interesting. I had in mind a symbolic algebra solver. More like Maxima's `solve` and similar. But maybe a numeric solver could serve a similar purpose? Probably not, since the existence of a numerical solution does not imply that the equation is solvable analytically.

The actual domain is an elementary algebra course---can we use a neural network to generate algebra problems that have solutions? Using GPT-3 will produce algebra-esque math/text, but not guarantee that the problems are solvable.

Another possibility I'm considering is using a neural network to generate transformations of a solved equation. Start with `x = 5`, then apply operations to both sides until getting to the problem form e.g. `x + 2 = 7`

Gets tricky when the solution has more than one element, like when squaring / taking roots.
I think you are unironically dumb as fuck, my first response to you was me asking if I misread something.

Absolutely I'm trusting that stated expectations are the same as real expectations - if somebody lies to me about what they want in a partner, then we're not going to be a good match anyways and so that serves as a useful way to thin the potential pool.

> I agree that it's hard to judge the reasonableness of other people's decisions, but I think that if they either fail to find what they are looking for, or expect more than they offer, the expectation may be unreasonable.

Sure, but the article also says that the group of lonely single men is growing so on balance it sounds like the women are finding what they're looking for. Who's got the unreasonable expectations, here?
To be clear, I don't consider it to be bad for primarily security reasons, I consider it to be bad because it's inconvenient when it's the only option and forced. I would always prefer TOTP or a push based system such as WhatsApp or telegram or similar. SMS can be slow, and uses an application I don't open for any other purpose.

Not all applications can store data out of the box. For instance some ways of PHP have embedded caches, some others don't have cache by default and you would need to install cache software (for instance apcu).
Also, redis has many different types of data. For instance coding something similar to its "hash" data type is not trivial.
> It's a troll. "Optional activities" gets translated to "mandatory"

It sounds to me that you are the one trolling. It should be quite clear that when someone who has power over you "invites" you to do an "optional" after work gathering with other people (who are often your direct career competitors), it is not really an optional thing.

The question was "how to get dates" - "how to get friends" is a different question. The easy way to get dates is to ask your friends on dates, and the easiest way to do that is to ask a friend to get lunch with you. What part of that reduces to "get lucky"?

I don't see the Self influence in JS.

Perhaps you mean because of prototype inheritance? But the form in JS doesn't look anything like the form in Self. Or particularly thought through at all, really. I fear that Eich may have implemented prototype OO by accident almost?

I have a whole book on prototype OO from the 90s, and the languages in there are much better thought through (Self wasn't the only one or the first one. Actually even Smalltalk 72 is kind of prototype-OOish).

In other respects, syntax and scoping model etc, I don't think original JS looks anything like a Smalltalk-descended language.
> The answer is most likely MOND + dark matter.

Here[0] is a toy model experiment to demonstrate that neither Dark Matter nor MOND are necessary to explain spiral galaxy rotation curves, which coincidentally is the original purpose Dark Matter was postulated to explain. Dark Matter has since been fingered to explain other phenomena since, but it is not commonly known or accepted that galaxy rotation curves no longer needs Dark Matter (or MOND, for that matter).

It really is the vigilance. It's hard to explain to people who haven't experienced it. I certainly tried to understand my colleagues who had kids, but it turns out it's quite a bit harder than the hardest I imagined. Nowadays I'm a part time developer, and the rest of the time, I'm the primary care for a toddler.

Programming at work is my time off.

You have to be react so quickly to certain things that it keeps you totally wound up. You see them pick something up off the ground and wonder, 'what is that, are they going to eat it' and instinctively you sprint half way across the room to grab what turned out to be a cheerio from their mouth. It's almost always a cheerio. But your brain won't let you rest if there's even an impossibly small chance it's a battery or I dunno, glass or whatever, it doesn't matter how many times you check, you can always imagine something. It's exhausting.

I'm rambling because I'm tired. :)
After some intense code challenges I did felt exhausted. I learn a lot too because they were out of my comfort zone. I felt like kind of needing to recover resting more the next two days.

Well, part of the idea is to do the "pareto optimal" work not just implementation-wise, but also in checking whether the tradeoffs are pareto optimal (pareto-ception). Thus, avoid "analysis paralysis"
