I "really hate" how some "news" sites like to, "quote excessively" in headlines.

If you want to call some nonsense, or a bold face lie, have the damn courage to just call it that. Don't air-quoting some nebulous entity to make it sound more official.
Do you have particular examples of identity being a core part of the issue?

I see people complain about identity politics all the time, but when it comes down to it, the individual issues that fall under that umbrella are things that people deeply care about and can’t just be dismissed.
I don't see the problem with people seeing the world differently now.

I see the problem with there only being two lenses through which to see. Think of all the things we must be missing!
In my experience, even betas are generally well-behaved. My MBA is only a "personal" machine, but none of the beta bugs I've encountered in either Monterey or Ventura have been debilitating. Standard OS updates have been virtually unnoticeable for me.

Probably too late, but if you see this would you mind elaborating a bit? Briefly is totally fine. I posted it to fish for interesting counterpoints.
"Public domain" isn't a smart way of saying "things that people have seen publicly" it's a legal term. You're confidently wrong about every single point you've made here. Including the first: if you send your boyfriend nude pictures, and also post them on the internet for the public to see, it remains a violation of copyright for him or anyone else to post them without your permission, and damages can be claimed.

More damages could be potentially claimed if the pictures your ex are posting are pictures you sell commercially, in fact, because you've demonstrated that those photos have value and that you depend on your copyrights to make a living.
> but there was a semblance of a baseline.

How did you form that conclusion? I think the history of this country itself forms the greatest counter example to this point.

> I feel like we need a generation that strikes out against the notion of identity altogether

This feels like misplaced austerity. Human beings living their short lives absolutely have the right to their own identity, these are natural rights and desires.

This idea that we're going to fix this problem through deeper collectivism and removal of the individual instead of addressing the obvious problems of mass communication in our society is somewhat frightening to me.
> No implicit agreement between

True; instead it is explicit. This isn't controversial at all, in typical jurisdiction unless explicitly released into public domain the author retains all copyright - your consuming one of those copies gives you no further rights at all.

As a matter of practicality, it probably wont be acted on. Unless there is enough money involved to go after such copyright violations, it's unlikely anyone will bother...
You can use a DB connection pool for this.

But how much request time will it really save? Have you measured the impact of that stage of the pipeline?
>I'm rubbish at it and usually stab my finger with a needle, but to this day I still pack a mini sew-kit wherever I travel

Even if I'm rubbish at it and take forever to thread a needle, I've still made field repairs to gear while traveling that were a lot better than having no repair at all.
Bill Clinton signed the DMCA law into effect at the start of the internet boom because somebody could have power to shutdown a platform because their doodle got shared. Then they could go after the host, and even the software providers. To prevent these recursive litigations that could easily have malicious intent (competition uploading copyright material to your platform to shut you down), the DMCA safe harbour was born.

Internet Archive operates the same way, if they receive DMCA notice, they need to comply in order to keep the safe harbour process.

As to whether WTL will file a DMCA to take down his material, it looks unlikely. For whatever reason he suddenly wanted to be out of limelight and I get the feeling that he doesn't care much whether his work is shared or not but who knows, maybe he will come out of the woodwork to raise his voice (which would be in contrast to his reclusive state).

He really is a mysterious figure and even more mysterious is the sheer amount of effort he put into his work and passion to share it suddenly relinquished overnight, out of whim? stress? depression? We can only guess.
> Also sometimes even if the individual parts aren’t right, the whole can still work.

Yes it can, but the foundation is shaky, and having to make changes to it will tend to be scary.
I am able to build, run, and use oneko-1.1 from 1995, unmodified on a MacBook M1 Max. It's been almost 30 years, but that cat is still cute when it chases the mouse cursor!

This may be a bit of an extreme example, but generally the unix-y APIs have been relatively stable over the decades, including X11 as we see.

If you want to try for yourself, you need XQuartz (to have X11 in the first place), and imake from e.g. homebrew, because it's apparently not part of the XQuartz distribution. Don't forget to start XQuartz. That's all.
Keybase had a good system for authentication. You link your public key to multiple accounts, and use private key to prove your identity.

That seems more secure than physical signatures and letter heads, that can presumably be easily forged.

But Keybase seems not developed anymore. Does anyone know what’s the situation?

CNN is not a crappy news source.

It's mostly above board, if biased.

The non-opinion parts of Fox are not that bad but it's more rare.

My bet is they are looking at headline coverage both news and opinion.

I think this is a really worthy excercise so that we can see a bit more methodologically what kind of bias happens with selective coverage.

The tone and content of the coverage matters a lot.

Almost all of the editorial is bad on all sides. They have some insight, but it's so biased you have to hear other people talk in order to contextualize it.
it doesn't look very good visually and also in terms of dimensional accuracy. how do you finish this without cnc or hand work? It looks warped. This lack of dimensional accuracy is a huge problem with additive processes IMHO. It would be fantastic if we could have 3d metal printers in our garages. It would open up a ton of possibilities.
Just to make the MVP simpler.

I note in the caveats that the current approach is to recompute everything whenever even one file is changed. But that’s probably not sustainable, as I admit myself in https://azdavis.net/posts/pl-idea-tooling/ :

> As an example, it would be unsustainable if, every time we changed a single function’s body, the language server had to re-typecheck the entire codebase. This might work for an initial proof-of-concept on a small codebase, but for large ones, the responsiveness of the language server would drop precipitously.

If I get around to addressing this, I’d probably use salsa and/or follow along this post: https://rust-analyzer.github.io//blog/2020/07/20/three-archi...

I believe a good way of programming is to always reverse program. So you start with the output and work back to where the algorithm or program starts. In that way you can easily extract an unit test after you finished your task.
Thanks for the advice. I try to have it enabled in all edit tools and browsers, but some will not allow it in two languages at the same time, and setting it in mobile to a language other than the main OS language is not trivial. And I haven't found how to enable spell check on Firefox mobile.
As a Braves fan, I enjoyed seeing some of these new-to-me angles and features in games I saw on other broadcasts. I wish the Bally Sports South crew had some more playful takes like this. The Buck Showalter hit-by-pitch feature is pretty dang funny https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-t536p141B8
In Poland we have BLIK for a few years already.

All major banks participate in it, and it's both P2P (send to target phone number, which will behind the scenes resolve to a bank account) and web payments (use a one-time code from your bank app and then confirm in the app, without sharing any permanent data like card numbers).

Also, it's instantaneous and free.

And in fact almost nobody in Poland uses Revolut nor PayPal for P2P, everybody uses BLIK. People do use Revolut for their great exchange rates though.

I grew up in Luzerne county (I'm here now, actually, staying with my parents). Ciavarella visited my high school to give a presentation about his zero tolerance policy. It was almost mocking. He knew exactly what he was doing and had zero shame.

Kids got sent away to "juvy" and never came back. Parents were ashamed and moved away so the kids didn't have to come back after their sentence was up. Nobody talked about what was happening and it stayed quiet for a long time.
It's not that weird.

You can consider a wave passing through a filter as a sum of two orthogonal waves, rSin(θ) + rCos(θ), θ being the angle between the light-wave and the filtered angle, r being the amplitude of the wave.

One wave gets eliminated, and whatever exits exits at the only angle it can, the angle orthogonal to the filtered angle.

Last time I checked the leader of Hezbolla, which is part of the government of Lebanon said: "There is no solution to the conflict in this region except with the disappearance of Israel."

Not the other way around.
You are confused, 'public domain' is an explicit legal definition of a work being licensed for any use. You have to explicitly put a work into public domain. Just uploading something to a server people can access for free does not make the work 'public domain'.

Think about it... if the opposite were true then I could watch or download a TV show from Hulu for free and claim I own it and rebroadcast it to others while charging them money. That's not how it works though, just because I watched it for free doesn't mean it's public domain and I am free to do whatever I want with it.
ok, I couldn't find any info about that on your site in my cursory glance and the only examples I saw looked like node...

"Yeah, we had to let him go. Too burned out. Caught him screaming at the SAN."
20 years ago I worked on some Java applications as a college student curious to compare AWT/Swing to other options, and I found that the cross-platform rendering worked decently well, but that the underlying architecture and algorithms were hot garbage. For instance, if you had a full-screen panel nested in a full screen panel, and you put the CPU under heavy load, you could watch it fill both background colors despite the front panel completely obscuring the back panel. Using Windows native API "windows" the paint events would only happen for the un-obscured components and only for the regions exposed. Java advocates advertised how "lightweight" their components were because they "didn't depend on a heavy-weight operating system window object" when in fact those "heavyweight" window objects were part of an algorithm that performed much better. Another big annoyance was that every UI event was delivered in its own thread, so you had to deal with all the complexities of multithreading just trying to write simple user interfaces. I had a whole blog-sized article I wrote once about all the design deficiencies; I've forgotten most of the rest of those details.

Java actually succeeded quite well at being cross-platform, it just wasn't a design worth being cross-platform in the first place.

Hopefully they fixed some of this in 20 years.

> What are good news sources?

I wish I had an answer. Good news sources are usually a case of: I know it when I see it. Once you read enough you can tell good shit from bad shit. Shows depth of knowledge, rigor, both sides (if there is an actual legitimate other side), a slant toward neutral verbiage, according to <reputable source>..., <reputable source> reports ..., etc. I wish this could be passed on to others. Good news sources have "it"

I think there is such an massive sea of information that you can tell any story you want with cherry-picking and aggressive call to action flame-bait verbiage.

I had my daughters when I was 38 and 40. The youngest heads off to college today. I've had plenty of time to contemplate life in the last 20 years. In fact, raising two daughters has made that seem even more important.

Around the age of 40 I made a point of really slowing down my thinking about the future; realizing what I could control (not much) and deciding what was important to me. Naturally this has changed a bit in the last 20 years, but not the underlying philosophy. You only get so many breaths in this life time, so use them wisely.
From the first post, https://topdown.substack.com/i/47912680/bias

Let’s take a recent that has skewed coverage and is likely to be a split topic, such as Disney and the Florida “Parental Rights in Education” Bill. Here are some of the headlines from different outlets (Emphasis is mine).

CNN article is a short news piece with no external links, not much to see there.

Fox article is longer, original headline used the phrase "woke corporations", includes "Disney is bad" external links in case it's not clear enough from the article.

NYT article is a clearly labeled op-ed piece, obviously not comparable with the other two.

Aligning all of these hot-takes together

Not sure if it's the author or his "AI" that thinks comparing all of these as "hot-takes" is a useful activity.
The GOP says "law and order" which has connotations of use of force to ensure order. "Law and order" tends to reference the idea of a dominance hierarchy, and that the authority of the dominance hierarchy is absolute. We saw "law and order" referenced frequently with BLM to put down protests because they were disorderly. "Law and order" means "might makes right." Those with might make the "laws" and enforce them to ensure order.

"Rule of law" is a different concept which references a set of values codified as law which apply equally to everyone.
The recommendation is to get treatment from students at the dental school - they will work according to best practices and will not take shortcuts or overtreat.
Oh no. Is that really why you think people use quotes, or are you trolling? I hope you are.
Your own bias is showing.

Fox watchers would say something like "it's just a witchhunt, and it found nothing" or "climate change is a big fat nothingburger". (I personally don't believe that!)
> Some tests are actually very hard to write — I once led a project that where the code had both cloud and on-prem API calls

I believe that this is a fundamental problem of testing in all distributed systems: you are trying to test and validate for emergent behaviour. The other term we have for such systems is: chaotic. Good luck with that.

In fact, I have begun to suspect that the way we even think about software testing is backwards. Instead of test scenarios we should be thinking in failure scenarios - and try to subject our software to as much of those as possible. Define the bounding box of the failure universe, and allow computer to generate the testing scenarios within. EXPECT that all software within will eventually fail, but as long as it survives beyond set thresholds, it gets a green light.

In a way... we'd need something like a bastard hybrid of fuzzing, chaos testing, soak testing, SRE principles and probabilistic outcomes.
Lol, this was brought up before... at least one time:

I don't think people give a care about China at this point because things are so bad at home. There's really no obvious way that this affects Americans, so why bother talking about it? Plus, the crisis in China has been going on for so long at this point that it's turned into olds.

Same with the other stuff you mentioned: there's nothing really new or interesting with that.
So pick the smallest device size, still would be more grounded in reality compared to "nanometers".

Maybe do it like this: plot nm vs density for "properly" named old nodes and extrapolate further for current nodes.
I knew about the bombings of Dresden (Berlin, Hamburg etc.) in WWII and Grozny; what I meant was the extension of the bombings in Ukraine: the Russians bombed pretty much every city in the center, south and west regions, including lots of villages of no or little military importance.

Or omissions from both in what they covered.

IIRC, the unfortunately-named IRA won't kick in for four years, only helps people on Medicaid, and makes drug prices worse for other programs. It was clearly written in a way to help big pharma and not the little people. And that ought to piss off any CNN or Fox viewer.

Instead, they show versions of the story to trigger their bases.
It's slightly better than an editorialized summary.
The whole seed oils thing just seems like a twitter fad/meme. Can anyone share some promising literature?

When I search for it, I just see studies about PUFA (polyunsaturated fats) benefits where they seem to always use canola oil (like swapping saturated fats for canola oil) to show benefits.

Yet overnight it seems like popular twitter accounts and podcasters have echoed seed oils = bad.

Reuters, the AP, and Bloomberg are my go-to news sources. People who are paid a lot by a few customers to produce accurate news, rather than people who are paid a little by a lot of people to produce an entertainment product.
I am somewhat optimistic about the UK situation; in the end, Boris was at least held accountable, and by his own party. It was too late, and he got away with far too much in my opinion, but in the end a line was drawn and was told to bugger off. Incidents with "colourful" PMs are not unheard off, e.g. Churchill was widely criticised for various antics which are not all that dissimilar to Boris' antics. This of course ended up being overshadowed by his status as the war PM.

In the US the situation is quite a bit more dire, and roots of the current situation are also quite a bit deeper and go back longer beyond just "this asshole got elected to office".
> despite them being a tiny fraction of prisons (8%)

to start filling those 8% you have to over-fill the 92% of the government ones.

Giving the guaranteed minimum vacancy clauses in the private prison contracts, state officials have to send people there, and they wouldn't look good doing that while having free space in state prisons, so they need to keep the state prisons overfilled.
That’s because you have your SSH client config having to try them all.
The “baseline” was established by ignoring points of view that didn’t align with the ruling class. It’s still largely the case, for example crime stories are popular, except for crimes committed by law enforcement, which - in some cases, like theft - is actually the majority of all cases in US, just not reported that way.
He discussed his preferences on copyright. It’s projecting a weird kind of parasocial hero worship to assume I meant otherwise despite my not giving you a single shred of evidence on my opinion of him. I actually detest your little edit because you’ve charged my opinion and put me on a defensive footing regarding my opinion of somebody who I honestly couldn’t care less about (sorry; wasn’t my scene). I worked very hard to avoid saying that because I know he’s loved and my opinion doesn’t matter. But you had to make me say it.

I’ve not written a single line of Ruby in my life and even I know his thoughts on copyright and public domain and intellectual property, is the point. I actually hate how many people worship him like he’s Jesus because the content is more interesting than the person, which is the case for pretty much anyone creative and has nothing to do with him. (Something tells me he’d vibe on that take, too, given how he left.)
