Thank you, I appreciate the honest feedback. My academic background is technical (math), but not CS.

Been wanting to transition into another role. Not sure what exactly but within software development.

Can I send you an email?

FTFY.
That seems like a really small benefit at a potentially high cost, at least to me.

You can imagine that someone might create malware or otherwise hostile app that plays a loud/embarrassing sound and hijacks your volume buttons.

Having to lift a finger to turn a page seems like a really small problem in comparison to that one.

Smartphones are general purpose devices and have to make tradeoffs like this all the time. They can't just greenlight every useful function that every type of app might want. IMO if you want an e-reader, get an e-reader.

For example: Let's say I'm a private detective. It might be nice for there to be an app that records audio and video at all times without any visual indication of my phone doing so. However, having that kind of OS level permission available to apps on an app store is probably a bad idea. I'll need to go out and buy a dedicated recording device.

Sure, we can argue about where the line gets drawn. If you like Android for allowing apps to modify hardware buttons, fine. But, I would prefer a device where physical buttons perform consistent functions. A middle ground might be some kind of buttons dedicated toward custom or app functions – but, to me, why bother when the entire screen is a customizable button?
Sorry for that. The product was in between states ( not yet restocked but no more on preorder ) :)
The US is actively seizing another sovereign nation's territory, it is seizing Guantanamo in Cuba, which Cuba has requested the US leave for decades.
Yes and that would have satisfied me five years ago. Before Apple rolled over for the FBI and backed off doing exactly that.
Looks good! I think SwiftUI is very promising. I especially like the native component support with much simpler declarative syntax, as least coming from React this helps me consider iOS as a viable option.
To add more color.

There are two kinds of ARM licenses. One is for chipset designs (e.g. Cortex - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A) that you get fabricated to get your CPUs.

The other ARM license is an ISA license. You get no chip design. All you get is the instruction set architecture but you have to design the chip yourself. That's what Apple has been doing.
There's an Ardumower project, I'm intending to work on building one over the winter.

I dream of far more sophisticated home garden robots, but would settle for farming out the basic haircut to a robot.
Because Intel hasn't been able to keep the edge on architecture for a long time, so they started a race to the bottom, abusing the TDP.

Unfortunately, the market seems not to care much, so I "can't blame them" (well, I do blame them for the effect).

This is even more perplexing considering the laptop market, where power efficiency is crucial, and Intel should be dead now (Alder Lake hasn't been as efficient as hoped, and on Linux, the matter is even worse due to suboptimal support), yet, it's still the most common platform.

I would definitely buy a Roomba for my lawn (assuming it worked well). Obviously more safety concerns than a vacuum cleaner, with the spinning metal blades and all, but seems doable.
It won't be lower battery if ads slip through (they do).

It won't be more private if ads slip through, or if the whole web experience is degraded and users prefer native apps.
I could be mistaken, yet can't help but imagine divorce when reading such lines:

>When a life-crisis turns into an extended campaign

It's sad to see people trying hard to keep a stoic stance while such a vile thing is being done to them. Why such ruinous dynamics didn't get a society-wide political solution for a decade after decade...

My generation is afraid to marry due to reading such stories.
>The United States was roughly around the global average. Contrary to the view of many conservatives, the deaths probably were caused by Covid itself, and NOT by lockdowns

I feel like the common view by people who thought numbers were being artificially inflated was that they were counting people who died while having tested positive for covid being attributed to covid and not just 'the lockdowns'

Fairly distinctly remember a million memes of like a car accident or something else tragic and a caption of "sorry to tell you mam, your son died of covid" or something to that ends.

Also remember hearing attribution to FEMA and other world health organizations offering relief and funding based on a death being covid related or not and so the thought was it was easier to check that box and receive relief to your hospital and get the family's funeral expenses paid for.
The comment was about paying rent, not landlords.

farmer is easy too. buy like 6 pairs of oxen, 5 sets of clothes, spare of wheel/axel/tongue. and the vast majority of the rest on bullets with like 100lb of food to just get you started

then you just hunt and hunt and hunt and hunt. and only shoot at bison/bears and the occasional pair of deers.

and then you trade primarily trading food for anything else (as food is cheap to you, 100lb should just cost 1-3 bullets on average depending how bad a shot you are)

>When I wrote those earlier essays in the first half of the 2010s, I believed in neoliberal technological capitalism. I’ll spare the reader my own career history, but it failed me. It has failed society, too. Now that I’m older and smarter, I would say that in broad strokes I am a communist.

Wow, he's turned himself around in a way, and for the better
Slippery slope arguments should not be regarded as logical arguments. They are predictions. Calling it a logical fallacy is a strawman argument because in reality, slippery slopes have been observed.

The difference with “us” is that our skills are still evolving - and quickly in many spaces…. The tools change, the methods change and the skill sets are constantly evolving to match.

I'm pretty sure if someone is determined enough to shut down a service or force them to add logging they don't really care about the marketing material of said service. Just like EncroChat didn't brand themselves as phone brand for organized crime.

I there's an entity that wants WireGuard to add logging they'll make up a "terrorism" reason and all the existing "anti-terrorism" laws will open many doors to do just that.
This is what I keep telling my (senior) managers. In order to let people do “more X”, you should have available a list of Y they are already doing and Z that will fall below the fold if prioritizing X. If you don’t have that list, any discussion about resources and priorities is an emotional one, not a rational one based on an adequate view of what teams are delivering.
They seem really limited at this point. It seems to be out that outdoors is surprisingly inconsistent / has a lot more exceptions than indoors. And even those that use small blades still have a fairly high bar safety wise to overcome.

would this imply something is not right with our society because there aren't laws against listening to joe rogan.
Matrix won't have this information, if you have your own server.
Sometimes, there's value in providing a standard way of doing things. Even if it isn't perfect in all cases (or even a median case), then at least most people coalesce around how it's used and its limitations.

But yeah, sometimes it's better to have options. If it's common functionality though, there will likely be 1000 different implementations of it that all just slightly differ [0]. Perhaps it were better for that effort to be put into making the standard better.

I don't think there's a universally correct answer by any means, but for something so common as bitflags, I think I personally lean towards having a standard. Replacing an implementation wholesale feels like it should be reserved as a last resort.

Either way, I think mature pieces of software (languages especially) strive to provide a good upgrade path. Inevitably, the designers made something that doesn't match current needs. Even if it's just that "current needs" changed around them.

[0]: And if we subscribe to Sturgeon's Law, 90% of those are crap, anyway. Though they might not appear so on the surface...
> Yeah, right. The woman spreading these accounts got finally fired.

You're speaking like the Russian army is some sort of pillar of society that would never do a thing.

We know that they regularly rape, torture and commit war crimes. In multiple cities in Ukraine. This isn't really disputable they even brag on camera about wanting to commit genocide and even castrate people on camera.

Here's an article on the crimes they have committed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_violence_in_the_2022_Ru...
"I don't use all the things that are better about Mac than Windows" is not a very strong argument for the merits of Microsoft's OS.
Well, would you be pleased to see a couple of Russian warships enter ports of Cork or Galway to start establishing an airbase to attack Britain without asking locals?

Would you like Belfast to be razed by rockets and shelling like Mariupol?

Just a friendly reminder that the Republic of Ireland is not in NATO, with its own fleet and army comparable to Moldova's.

I also recommend people I know to use Firefox, but a lot of people either don't understand the problem or just don't care.

A lot of people even conflate Google Chrome, Google Search and other Google services (understandable, as Chrome's home page is a big Google logo with a search box), so they think that they cannot use Google anymore if they install Firefox.

The stats [1] speak for themselves: only 3.3% of users use Firefox. Even Edge has more users.

I love the idea of this because I hate lawn maintenance. But the idea of letting software I wrote run around with whirling blades of death underneath of it would keep me from doing it.
Ah yes? It looks to me like a personal gym and it has all the machines you’d want in a good circuit. I myself must use 10-12 machines in my regular weekly routine. I don’t see why he wouldn’t do the same.
The zoolander reference was brilliant. A lot of the criticism of Rogan reduces to "the wrong kind of people" getting wealthy, asking questions, having opinions, leading conversations.

The Zuckerberg interview he did was probably the most important interview of the last few years, and to go 3hrs with anyone with a calm and consistent interest and disposition is a direct result of his level of physical fitness and world class expertise as both a comedian and martial artist.

There is a mind required for comedy that is transferrable where instead of making people laugh, you can use it to disarm people and get them to open up and share what they believe. Rogan's interview style is very closely related to comedy but just slowed down to a Tai Chi level, where there is an arc in the discussion where most people run out of neurotic energy after about an hour, and then instead of gotcha'ing them, he is just accepting, and then nudges them toward challenges, but not to catch them out, but to get them to be honest. The effect is beautiful.

There is a lot of middlebrow anxiety about him, but I don't think it has standing unless it's from someone who is also pro-level funny, fit, and competent in their discipline.
For hospitalizations, at least, some states (e.g. New York [0]) did not start distinguishing between “hospitalized due to COVID” from “hospitalized with COVID” until early 2022.

Yes, TextSynth.com is a commercial service, see pricing [1]. If his code is faster than others' (I'd certainly believe it) then it's quite valuable, and he deserves to be able to monetise it. Edit: Also, OpenAI is slashing price for GPT-3 by 2-3x tomorrow because of "progress in making our models more efficient to run" [2].

Also, he was/is competing for the Hutter Prize with nncp, however he is outside the requirements for the prize: CPU-time, RAM, but most especially that submissions shouldn't require a modern CPU (with AVX-2) or a GPU. Otherwise he could have won it. I suspect it's actually that's the biggest reason he implemented libnc without GPU support initially. He has asked for the rules to be changed to allow AVX2 and I believe they eventually will be. So he won't give away the source for nncp yet, but will have to open source it to receive the prize.

There is plenty of other data that supports the assumption that the vast majority of deaths here is due to COVID. Not all causes of death here are equally plausible.
Looking at it again it literally looks like he has 6-7 machines, mostly cardio, then lots and lots of weights. Nothing too crazy to me.
Minor nitpick: I'd prefer to see size denoted as 12kB (or 12 KB) rather than 12kb, where I have to wonder whether it means kilobit or kilobyte. Note that Justine has also worked on languages whose programs consists of bits [1].

Barns-Lee had nothing to do with Javascript. HTML was created as a display technology for static documents and for that purpose it is just fine. Javascript was an afterthought, and that's exactly why the web is the hodgepodge of technologies we see today.

Can this be used for something that displays graphics? Or does the runtime size balloon with supporting different functionality on each system?
That is not an issue with the analysis as a whole, and indeed he addresses several of those points. It is an issue only with the excess deaths statistic. The data we have so far does not show a correlation between lockdowns and GDP, and tends to show a correlation between lockdowns and a reduction in excess deaths.
Why do you keep posting the same comment under every SD post? It doesn't contribute to the discussion, and it's not very relevant to the OP. Some of the links don't even work anymore.
Existing lawn robots still mostly rely on a buried cable to form a boundary-line. The next generation vision/lidar/gps systems are clearly in development but not commercially available in the US (the Segway NaviMow is available in Europe).
it is quite easy to do. france also uses that to find garden house because our genius politicians found that those should be taxed. it is the french pattern when the middle class gets something we should tax it. few years ago it was gold coins that became taxeable.

art in france has a specific lower taxation so that rich people can buy it and use it as a store of value. at the time this was saved from high tax (like gold) the prime minister of france was one of the wealthiest antique dealer in the world.
Same with my Boox. It has the added advantage of reducing desk clutter (no more drawer full of notes!) and letting me handwrite notes, which always seems to help me remember things better.
Nope! It implies that yes, someone should think of the credulous people.

I don’t believe censoring Rogan is justified/wise/useful/etc. — even if it were it’d still be illegal anyway. But does that mean I think we should just throw credulous folks to the wolves with snarky remarks like “won’t someone think of the credulous people?!”

We should think of the credulous people, and take society’s threats against them and their threat to society seriously.

Think about it from a mathematical perspective: How much CPU time is actually spent evaluating ad blocker rules? It's going to be proportional to the number of HTTP requests you issue. On a good website the number of requests is in the dozens or a hundred tops per page load, on a bad website maybe it's in the low thousands. But that's it. Let's say you have 300000 rules (I think the actual number tends to be much lower than this), worst case even if you brute forced that, you're evaluating 300000 regexes maybe a thousand times. That'll take some time, but not that much time, because modern CPUs are really fast. It's simply implausible that an ad blocker could have a significant negative impact on battery life unless you wrote it in some sort of forth interpreter that was checking strings one byte at a time - compared to the rule evaluations happening once per request, you're rasterizing frames ~60 times a second and handling input events and timers and all of that stuff constantly.

If you optimize the rules engine - which you can definitely do - you can skip evaluating most of those regexes, you can evaluate them in parallel, etc. You could start preparing the request and only gate the actual tcp packets on approval from the ad blocker. You could cache the approve/deny state for each URL so that the ad blocker overhead is only paid on first visit to a site. There are lots of ways to make this stuff super fast without breaking it, but Google and Apple don't want to do the work.

People like the uBlock Origin author have already demonstrated in the past that their ad blockers are fast despite the severe limitations of current browser extension APIs. If browser vendors actually supported extension developers ad blockers could probably become faster. Instead they're attacking them and forcing people to move over to intentionally sabotaged APIs with limited feature sets and arguing that now things will be "faster" even though you're going to be wasting resources downloading a bunch of ads.
The vast majority of new is entertainment. If you're in a deep blue area that has never voted for Trump, and you know that you'll never vote for Trump, spending hours a day reading about how terrible Trump is doesn't inform your decision to vote. It's done because you enjoy political celebrity gossip, the same way other people spend hours a day watching entertainment celebrity gossip. You'd be better off spending at least a fraction of the time learning about local races, but very few people do that. I know lots of people that can't tell you most of the people they voted for the day after a primary, but say that they're into "politics" because they spend hours reading and commenting on national news.

Stewart fits right into the political infotainment environment. His show was intentionally laced with jokes, but other than that it was very similar to the highlight of "top news stories" you'd hear on other cable news stations. The depth (shallow) was probably about the same for most news stories as well.

Stewart also, despite his claims of being just a comedian, would go on serious moralistic diatribes. Someone brought up his Cramer interview, and that's a good example. The guy clearly doesn't view himself as just a comedian there. Like Rogan, they're willing to go after and call out others as if they know more than them (whether or not they do is another discussion), but when called out on their failures they pretend they're just goofballs and never pretended to be anything more. It's dishonest.

Personally, I dislike Stewart because he's often prone to hypocritical moral posturing. He took a unflattering picture of Charlie Rangel up and laughed about his "front butt." Then a year later he took Newsweek to task for having a bad picture of Michelle Bachmann, saying that you can argue with her politics but it's never appropriate to attack someone's looks. When the only black writer on the show took issue with one of his impersonations, he yelled at the guy and cut ties with him. Now he's going around lecturing white people about how they have to listen to black people.

OP forgot to subtract the average death count before Covid-19. X parameters average death over the decade is Z. Current is Y. So X+Covid = Y deaths. From covid is Y-Z. Now compare these with actual
You’re wrong on many levels.

Joe Rogan as recently as last week said the vaccine is mostly safe and saved millions of lives. What he says is that the vaccine is more dangerous to some people than the narratives and pharmaceutical companies says. And he despises how you can’t even talk about the negative effects for some people without being cast as an anti-vaxxer. You entirely proved his point.

The exact same thing applies to transgender people. He believes 100% in their ability to be treated as the gender they believe they are. But his main disagreement is pretending that it’s okay that biological males vs biological females is fair. It’s not, especially in sports like MMA which he is an expert in.

Yet by talking about it, he is cast as a transphobe just like you accused him of.

And to correct you further, the 90s were the period where gay rights went mainstream so you’re even wrong about that. That when people started understanding that it wasn’t a choice and was biological. Shows like Dawson’s Creek really humanized being gay for an entire generation. That’s when Canada made gay marriage legal.
For an extra challenge I play on hard mode: Spend all your money on grandfather clocks.
