Obviously, significant percentage of people if they were in your situation would likely relate to your wishes to be in control, it’s completely reasonable. Also, reasonable that prior to you being in the situation that it’s likely that the topic was not pressing for you.

Most people don’t want to think about intentionally dying, it’s unpleasant, frequently results in emotionally sensitive exchanges, etc — so they simply avoid the topic.

Basically, being terminally ill is separate topic from the comment you replied too, which relates to legalized assisted suicide for non-terminally ill people; realize OP comment potentially covered it, but at least for me, that was not an issue.

Not the best at exchanges like this, but sincerely hope you are able to find the resolution you seek.
Nutrition Facts dot Org just published a youtube video on this subject today. The studies that associated light drinking with benefits were found to have systematic errors in more recent analysis, and after correcting for those errors researchers found that there is a linear relationship between drinking alcohol and increased cancer risk. That is, there is no drop in risks with light drinking. Any amount increases risks of cancer.

Considering phones rely on computational photography I'd say 200mp downsized to 4k with some clever processing probably it's what Samsung is aiming for.
There's a balance between compression ratio and CPU utilisation. Zstd is several times faster at compressing than gzip to produce a file of similar size (it's good, give it a try if you haven't already). I guess he means by using zstd they were able to crank up the compression ratio and maintain the same CPU usage maybe?

I don't think AWS routinely compress customer data that I've noticed. I guess he must mean for their internal products that use S3 perhaps?

Certainly, if used as a data store for a data-lake-like solution, it's much more convenient to store data in uncompressed form, knowing that the underlying storage solution will take care of that for you. This way, you can just dump Json files in without it feeling like a collosal waste (or having to do extra work of converting them to a compressed format, such as Avro).
~5h is how long a train takes from Warsaw to Berlin, compared to ~1h by plane (~2-3h including getting to and from airport), and I know multiple people who still prefer the train - even when they are able to easily afford any mode of transportation.

With the train, you have way more freedom in choosing the time and the hour. You have multiple trains leaving during the day, and you can choose 30 min before needing to hop onto one. Also, if you miss one, you just wait for the next one.

Also, on the train you can work, relax and stretch your legs or eat freely. So it doesn't feel like lost time really. Planes often do, even if you travel business.
I first used a computer in 2005-ish.

Started with Windows XP. I quickly moved to Ubuntu in maybe 2006 after reading a book about free software, of which I had no knowledge.

I've been using Linux at home and windows at work ever since.

I've never thought the apple premium was worth the cost especially when I could use decade old hardware (cheap) perfectly fine with modern operating systems.

All this being said, every time I'm given a Mac to use its a bad experience. I find it very hard to see how people can find it an easy operating system to use.

I'm aware this is just my experience but every time Macs are mentioned all you ever hear is how easy it is to use. When I'm using it I have to Google how to do simple stuff like copy and paste.
> planes are many times faster than trains

California's HSR trainset requirements specify sustained 220MPH.

Your statement applies to the current dysmal US freight-prioritized train situation, not any respectable modern HSR implementation.

A modern HSR in the USA not shared with freight should have no trouble beating ~500MPH air travel door-to-door. It should emit less co2 and cost less to boot.

Plus good luck affording an entire room with a bed and private toilet on a plane, that's private jet amenities territory.

Observation and dining cars are also nice experience enhancers trains easily offer but planes can't afford the space for.

> Eg enriching a tiny bit of uranium is 'relatively' easy. Enriching enough of the stuff to build an atomic bomb is a question of scaling. And, yes, in principle you can just use more and more centrifuges etc.

But we're not scaling for scaling's sake. We're scaling with the number of customers.

If it was profitable to enrich some milligrams by hand, then you'd be able to get more scientists and engineers and better equipment and automate some parts and make even more profit. If you go the centrifuge route, it's not because you had to do the harder methods, it's because it's massively cheaper per gram of product.

Such a scenario is very different from "we can't do it at all, and we need to build complex infrastructure just to make it possible".
Doesn't fit with my experience. Moving from using ssh -X to just pointing remote X applications at my local X server without tunnelling it over SSH consistently improves performance for me. Not just in terms of experience, but also no process maxes out a CPU, so the machine has spare compute capacity for other tasks. It's really not an issue of ssh not being multithreaded. That shouldn't happen even on a single core. If sshd divided that workload over my n cores, it would still be very bad.

It's a good response, and it proves that "hiring security" is not anarchist at all. Anarchy is about preventing power concentration, quite the opposite of guarding by force.
The only thing really differentiating ST and "fully native" apps (like TextMate) is that more of the UI is custom. It runs native code (ObjC/C++), uses appkit, native dialogs and generally follows platform conventions.
I believe zstd can detect incompressible data quickly and falls back to a low-overhead passthrough mode in that case. So you can just run everything through zstd and it handles those cases pretty optimally already.
Honestly this gave me a good chuckle. There was a recent rerun on the Freakonomics podcast about American hyperindividualism and how it leads to us having an unusually high rate of violent crime, which is definitely something I saw play out. Like if CHAZ had happened in Japan (which would have been pretty weird from the premise) it probably wouldn’t have ended with a bunch of shootings and turf wars
Ya know the funny thing is, when you start to scratch at the surface of the main drivers of "inflation" over the past year, you start to find a lot of non-competitive markets, that is to say, price gouging.

My current reading is that the "consensus" wasn't wrong per se, just maybe naive? So far as I can tell, "true" inflation was minor and relatively transitory. What wasn't is problems like collusion amongst a small handful of market owners and other consequences of extreme consolidation like one factory for formula going down erasing 40% of formula production over night.

That's my take right now at least.
I stand corrected, then! Thank you.

Not inferring the analysis was sinister. Just the incentives.
What have they become? I think most of the issues that have haunted them lately were related to people that worked on the games early on in their history and the culture that carried. I assume bad people can't hide there anymore with as much scrutiny that company has received. Or maybe your talking about the quality of games? I don't think Diablo Immortal is any indication of Diablo IV seeing as Diablo III is still releasing content without crazy monetization.

I look forward to Diablo IV personally. However I do feel that sense of nostalgia for the early Blizzard games. It's fun to see a post like this. Not sure the company is done with good content though. I still play their games a lot... I'm biased.
The big flaw of anarchism is that it's basically impossible to get it to work inside a capitalist system. Capitalism at its essence is about converting wealth to violence*, and when you can do that it's very easy to override any anarchist organisation by brute force.

Anarchism is notoriously bad at systematic violence because it's basically the one thing it's designed to prevent, so it's very hard to defend against easy access to physical force.

----

* In everyday practical capitalism, it rarely goes this far. It's enough to indirectly imply a threat of violence. ("If you don't obey my orders I could give you a bad performance review which might lead to you being fired and you will risk being out of a job long enough to have trouble paying your dues to society for the necessities and then you will either die or be taken by force to jail. So you better do as you're told!")

The point of property as it extends beyond straightforward possession is that even things I cannot use today, I might want to use in the future. Property is simply the acknowledged right to pick the "highest and best use" for some asset, balancing the needs of today wrt. those of the future.

>FSE, short for Finite State Entropy, is an entropy codec based on ANS. FSE encoding/decoding involves a state that is carried over between symbols, so decoding must be done in the opposite direction as encoding. Therefore, all FSE bitstreams are read from end to beginning. Note that the order of the bits in the stream is not reversed, we just read the elements in the reverse order they are written.

And Common Lisp actually allows adding type declarations[1], which can make code much more performant!

Also, if you really, really want types, as in Haskell-like types... there's Coalton[2], a language that's embedded in Common Lisp (CL is that powerful it allows things like this) with a ML type system and more "modern" idioms for people used to functional programming.

That's good, because usually in this kind of debate there's an undercurrent of "I've been using X for decades (and so know it inside out). When I try Y, anything that differs from X is objectively wrong"
I think you hit the nail on the head. It simply ends all discussion very effectively. This is the great divide in America.
Pass laws which provide less grounds for suing these kinds of projects, or at least group them into one class action lawsuit instead of a smattering of actions.

That's the sort of thing I worry about when I'm coding in C.

That seems to be the position of the Supreme Court of Canada, who ruled in 2015 that it would be cruel for the government to prevent Gloria Taylor (and others like her) to seek assistance ending her suffering (Carter v Canada). As part of their unanimous decision, they stated:

> It is a crime in Canada to assist another person in ending her own life. As a result, people who are grievously and irremediably ill cannot seek a physician's assistance in dying and may be condemned to a life of severe and intolerable suffering. A person facing this prospect has two options: she can take her own life prematurely, often by violent or dangerous means, or she can suffer until she dies from natural causes. The choice is cruel.

Wikipedia summarizes:

> the Supreme Court held that the current legislation was overbroad in that it prohibits "physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.

> After a lengthy delay, the House of Commons passed a Bill (C-14) in mid-June 2016 that would allow for doctor-assisted suicide in the case of a terminal illness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter_v_Canada_(AG)

The law was further amended by Bill C-7 (43) after another court case in 2019 (Truchon v Canada). The Superior Court of Quebec struck down the clause that restricted MAID to patients whose death was reasonably forseeable. From an unofficial translation of the decision:

> [The plaintiffs] claim that the reasonably foreseeable natural death requirement is tantamount to a prohibition of medical assistance in dying for any person who, like them, is not at the end of life. In this sense, it forces some of these individuals to take charge of their own destiny and take hasty steps to end their lives prematurely out of fear that they will no longer be physically able to do so once their suffering becomes intolerable. Consequently, they claim that the reasonably foreseeable natural death requirement exposes them to a heightened risk of death and, therefore, infringes on their Charter right to life.

> I attach a non Mac external monitor to a new MacBook Pro from work and the text is super blurry. Much googling later and I need to use something called Better Display to create a virtual display, and project that to my monitor

That’s not the correct solution. The correct solution is for the monitor manufacturer to stop reporting an EDID that identifies their monitor as a TV (and thereby forces the OS to default to YUV rather than SRGB.)

macOS here is just following the EDID spec to the letter. (Linux does too, as it happens.) Windows is the one “doing it wrong” (i.e. not to spec), by falling back to SRGB whenever it’s unsure, rather than falling back to YUV. This results in a lot of TVs being unhappy (no signal) when plugged into Windows PCs, but working fine under macOS / Linux.
I only spent a few years in Mac-land when I was working on an iPhone game, but having grown up on the Amiga and being blown away by Symbolics Genera, I seek out and suppport such visions of personal computing.

It's like we're going from 'bicycles for the mind' to 'mass transit for the mind', where more people than ever are going places, but the bus doesn't go exactly where you want at the time you want to go there, the seats aren't adjustable, the other passengers are sometimes annoying or even dangerous, and nothing is under your control or at your convenience.

I'm also beginning to see that those of us who were lucky enough to experience the individual empowerment granted by the original vision of personal computing must work to keep it going, else we end up with the kind of world that personal computing was reacting against.

Good luck with your project.
> to expect that someone in such a society would be willing build roads and bridges and maintain nuclear reactors for the “communal good” borders with lunacy.

speaking to the road part: people were perfectly capable of getting around town before we had the automobile or paved roads. in the suburbs i grew up in we had a fairly sprawling trail system kept packed/clear just by regular organic use. as a kid with a bike, that was the preferred way to get anywhere since it kept me away from cars.

to be frank, as a city-dweller who rarely travels beyond a 5mi radius and prefers to get around by bike, an asphalt-free city sounds kinda awesome. i don’t want to understate the significance of modern infrastructure (electricity, plumbing, literally saves lives). i also think it’s worth noting that anarchy doesn’t mean these things have to be created via volunteer efforts or not at all — you’re at least as likely to see a proliferation of home generators and septic tanks instead. which can fairly be claimed to be a step backward along multiple axes: i don’t disagree the amenities would be worse, but “by how much” is i think often overstated.
BadUSB or similar could be setup to work on DOS if the system firmware does USB keyboard mapping. You can do copy con foo.exe or something with debug, and then stream the executable you want to run, then run it. A bit more work, and there's no standard networking and all that, but it's doable if you really want it done; but you'd need a target to make it worthwhile.

> “if there will be informal cliques of power arising anyway, we may as well formalise and legitimise their power“

I’m not saying we should legitimize any unjust system, I’m saying we should fly the plane while we fix it instead of crashing it into the ground, melting it down and recasting it into new parts.

I think it’s more likely we get to better forms of organization by moving forwards, not backwards.

> That's not a universally accepted line of reasoning.

Sounds like argumentum ad populum mixed in with a little “many people are saying…”

> It might be the case that flexible orders of informal power results in better outcomes than strictly defined hierarchies of formal power.

Sure maybe, but it’s on you to elaborate how that could happen, or provide examples.

> strictly defined hierarchies of formal power

My experience dealing with many different government agencies, from border patrol and customs to the IRS and DMV have shown me that government is anything but rigid and well defined; the insidiousness of bureaucracy lies in its fluidity, due to the fact that you’re at the whim of whatever agent stands before you, with all their human imperfections. They had a bad day? They’re off their game? You just might get the shaft.

Still, I think that’s a better place to start building from than square one.

Your first two points are valid, and a wider issue with styling form pseudo element internals, though I'll contest letting date visualize as the user's locale is a better option than forcing American month/day/year weirdness on the rest of us.

You're wrong on dialog though.

It's not half assed, it's the core functionality needed for a dialog, no more. It makes very few assumptions abouts you want your dialogs to look, or behave with closing/opening. You only have to build atop it, rather than strip it back (e.g. Like how you have to strip/reset lists to use as nav menu elements)

I've styled them and it's usually less css than equivalent bootstrap or homegrown dialogs.

I also doubt your claims that the new form method will break older js being a real problem. The method just allows js to get a standard way of how a dialog closed. I just don't see when you'd use old js that might have issues to handle that..
How you jumped from private tech companies and their "agenda" to governments printing money for their "agenda" is really weird. While some of what you're saying has a seed of truth to it, you definitely like jumping to all sorts of conspiracies. I think you should speak to a mental health professional.

> Thunderbolt also gets access to the PCIe bus (and also by extension, DMA). I'm not sure what the security situation is there.

There is support for having the user authorize the device before logically connecting it to the rest of the system; see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Thunderbolt#User_device_aut...

It would not surprise me if this does nothing, because firmware implements it poorly, and/or because users click OK on everything.
