>Europe largely isn't reproducing.

Yeah and why is that? Is it because the young are now competing in a zero-sum capitalism squid-game economy, where good jobs are scarce and super stressful to get, requiring you to grind away the most fertile years of your life, and that lawmakers, banks, speculators, foreign buyers and NIMBY boomers have made owning a family home completely unaffordable for the young in most cities with jobs, giving young people too much anxiety about starting a family?

No, it must be porn, hookup dating apps, and all that damn avocado toast to blame. /s

>It has to allow immigration for its survival.

Here's a wild idea: Instead of imposing mass migration from the third world on everyone, you first try, <inhales_deeply>, MAKING HOUSING SUPER AFFORDABLE, and watch young people breed like rabbits?

I'm from a ex-communist country and during those days population was monstrously booming, because, even though young people could not afford modern luxuries like iPhones, cars, TVs, consoles, oranges, bananas, washing machines, Adidas shoes and tracksuits, fancy cafes, they didn't have to worry about the main things that give young people anxiety about starting a family today: jobs, housing and childcare. The state would provide families with all of those necessities. I'm not saying communism is the solution, it's not, but it turns out that most humans have very simple needs in life (we're still animals at the end of the day), and as long as the need for food(jobs), safe shelter(housing) and childcare are covered, they'll solve the need for sex on their own and breed like crazy without having any modern luxuries.

So why are we surprised Europeans aren't breeding anymore when those basic needs have been intentionally made very difficult for them to get in the name of profit, and instead we push third world immigration as a the solution to replace them?
TikTok developed the whole contemporary mobile video style in concert with its users and it’s algorithm. I don’t think you can just copy the features and throw them at a different audience and expect things to work out.

I don’t think chasing the current hot thing is necessarily a terrible idea but I think pivoting your app constantly to chase the hot thing is. “Be willing to cannibalize your user base” doesn’t mean “force new things on your user base”!

No, the main issue is Apple considering themselves an unquestionably trusted party. Notarization and all other shit. I want to build a macOS app at some point because every single one of modern instant messaging clients sucks, but I won't be paying $100/year to be able to "notarize" it.

I had gatekeeper completely disabled, yet somehow it has recently reset to its asinine default and I got this "this app isn't from an identified developer, you should delete it" error. I hated it.

If you must do code signing for whatever reason, at least let me install my own roots of trust for developers I personally consider trustworthy.
Dead USB Drives Are Fine: Building a Reliable Sneakernet
Have you read the book? Seems to me you didn't. It's not even 200 pages long, you can probably finish it in an afternoon if you like.

----------

EDIT: One example, from page 94, that shows that the authors of The Limits of Growth and Ehrlich aren't exactly on the same page:

> Can anything be learned from such a highly aggregated model? Can its output be considered meaningful? In terms of exact predictions, the output is not meaningful. We cannot forecast the precise population of the United States nor the GNP of Brazil nor even the total world food production for the year 2015. The data we have to work with are certainly not sufficient for such forecasts, even if it were our purpose to make them. On the other hand, it is vitally important to gain some understanding of the causes of growth in human society, the limits to growth, and the behavior of our socio-economic systems when the limits are reached.

There are tons of caveats like this throughout the text that make it clear they aren't making precise claims about the future, but attempting to create a complex model and understand how things may turn out and why, the interaction of the various system components. Ehrlich, in contrast, liked to make very precise claims. Like that the 1970s would see hundreds of millions of people starving to death.

EDIT: From page 121, further evidence that you have not read the book if you think that Ehrlich is strongly influenced by it:

> First, we hope that by posing each relationship as a hypothesis, and emphasizing its importance in the total world system, we may generate discussion and research that will eventually improve the data we have to work with. This emphasis is especially important in the areas in which different sectors of the model interact (such as pollution and human lifetime), where interdisciplinary research will be necessary.

Statements like these exist throughout the text. Again, making it clear that the authors are not drawing one particular conclusion. Strongly contrasting with Ehrlich again.

Well… they used to provide services for individuals, but then they decided to drop that and only support businesses. Since I was under a multi year contract, they moved me over to a small business account and they have let me stay there ever since.
> When wealthy people from abroad buy multiple apartment buildings in desirable cities, and then proceed to keep living elsewhere (probably in a different residence in another desirable city) they create a problem that in no way resembles the result of buying stock in a company.

I agree that buying housing stock and leaving it empty is an issue. But they're not the cause of all the housing issues, in most cases they're a tiny fraction of the problem. Most cities have vacancy rates of just a couple percent. Given the average person in a big city moves every 4 years and a home is empty for 1 month inbetween tenants/owners, you'd already have 2% permanent vacancy rates. Most cities have vacancy rates of 3-4%, Lisbon has 5%. It's definitely stupid to allow high vacancy rates and most cities have laws against them (here in Amsterdam you get fined for leaving your house empty), but even shaving off 1 or 2% off the vacancy rates isn't solving the housing problem. It very often features in newspaper articles because it's a clickbait story: rich person buys home and leaves it empty. Again, it's stupid and we should expand laws against it, but solving it still keeps 99% of the issues with housing which have nothing to do with this phenomenon.

And this phenomenon is limited precisely because housing is a market, and from a financial perspective it's a stupid idea to buy an asset and forgo its use or its returns.

Beyond that, nothing that I noted about assets has a disconnect because everyone else owning housing simply rents it out at the market rate, which is both the most expensive but also the cheapest marginal price to provide an extra unit of housing, which is the same for any asset and there's no real disconnect here.
The first one. If you are trying to prevent loss of life, that is admirable. Even if the people you save choose to commit violence later, that is on them; the responsibility is not on everyone who had previously helped or healed a (potentially) violent actor.

Probably going to sound pedantic, but a breakout box is different from an external audio interface or convertor. Breakout box typically only converts from one socket to another socket, like this one: https://www.tascam.eu/en/bo-16dxout

External audio interface (sometimes wrongly called a sound card): https://www.rme-audio.de/fireface-ufx.html

Convertor: https://www.rme-audio.de/m-32-m-16-ad.html

Actually a sound card: https://www.rme-audio.de/hdspe-aio-pro.html which can utilise a breakout cable or external convertor
Yeah, let me just dig the old rocket stove out of the basement and fire it up.
If you can show me the time that a faceless drone operator has actually successfully suppressed an opposing force, I will agree with you. We saw it in Afghanistan, and we are seeing it in Ukraine today: the people with the drones actually can't use them very effectively in terms of ending a war. They can kill a lot of people efficiently, and even get a high-value target once a year or so, but they can't seem to do what is necessary to end a war.

Winning a war isn't about force: it's about morale and mindset. If you can't stop people from fighting against you, you can't win a war. A drone has never walked into a community and gotten people to put down their guns.
The rewrite was horrible. I remember before how you could find interesting projects from random developers with growing communities. Now it's side-project X from reknowned developer N, or the newly created repo from some known tech firm that somehow has 100 stars already. All the actual fresh meat got dried out. I lost interest after the rewrite.

I was raised prior generation (I'm Boomer/Gen X cusp) and pretty much on my own during the day at 4-years-old. Just around the block thing.

And I totally agree with you. Same with the "everyone gets a participation trophy" bullshit - it's not the kids, it is the parents. Kids don't have control over that.

The answer is "the media." There's a saying in media, "If it bleeds, it leads." Meaning horrible stories are the best stories. And so, with the advent of the 1980s and cable, then with internet exploding media channels in 2000, the world is awash with bad stories. And it seeps into society.

People get in actual trouble now if they let their child walk 1 mile to school and if it is elementary school. Police car trouble.

The actual crime rate is way, way declined over time, across the board. However, the perception of crime rate is it is going up.

So parents want to protect their children against all these manufactured bad things.

We're a small, diverse, tight-knit team with a mission to radically improve main-stream science education at schools. By creating world-class science lessons, coupled with intuitive tools that allow teachers to take advantage of the latest pedagogies, we’ve already helped several hundred thousand students in Australia get excited about science.

Stile is already used in 1 out of 3 Australian schools, and over the next few years, we're striving to perfect our product and bring our lessons to the rest of the world. This is an opportunity to have a big influcence on education from within a small, high impact team.
I finished elementary school in northern Indiana. We accidentally found some crinoid fossils in the gravel of the playground. We went and asked our teacher what they were and, surprisingly, she knew. After that we spent all our time sifting through the gravel for more fossils. That was more than 40 years ago and I still have my old school pencil box full of crinoid fossils.
Yep. I uninstalled it. Can we go back to Flickr?

Yes!?? Turns out the value is "not enough".

I never click on that and have starred no cool projects from there.

Seems like a totally reasonable product decision from my seat.
Maybe TikTok trains on product data and validates on expert human rater data? This is a strategy that search engines used to use. Maybe they still do, but they used to too.

Did that ever happen? Was it a US thing? I've heard of Friendster, but I thought it was something that MySpace killed and then MySpace went global and then got overtaken by Facebook.
India drafts rules to stop developer mode and side loading of apps
The Union IT Ministry has issued a draft guideline with instructions on not installing unnecessary apps on new mobile phones without the user's permission. When it comes into effect, the new phone will come with only basic apps like calling, messaging and gallery. Nowadays, many companies pre-install many apps with new phones. Most of these are self-updating and cannot be removed by the user. App developers also pay mobile manufacturers for this.

The new draft guidelines also stipulate that the user should be given a notice while collecting information over the phone. Consent must be sought when collecting personal information. The purpose of collecting the information and whether the data will be sent outside the country should also be specified.

∙ The phone's security system should prevent downloading apps from other than authorized app stores. (Currently this is allowed)

∙ App stores like Google Play are fully responsible for the security of apps

∙App stores must have company registration in India. There should be nodal officer and grievance redressal mechanism.

∙ Developers also need Indian registration if the app is for Indian users. If the app is international, the user should use it at his own risk.

∙ Mobile cloud service for users in India must use servers in India.

∙ 'Developer Mode', which allows app developers to make significant changes to the phone software, will be available only on sample phones.

The trending page is pretty much the only reason I go to GitHub these days.

Weirdly, I've been low-key worried about it ever since they added the "Spoken Language" dropdown, which AFAICT is the only real change from the last few years.

It's not that I think being able to search by spoken language is bad or anything, it just screams of a middle manager trying to "solve" the important problem of a few people being confused about how the "language" filter referred to the programming language, and the solution was "let's add another button!"
I dont think it's possible. I wish I could scroll in them.

I'd be interested in other direct comparisons of x86 vs NEON code :)

SVE will be interesting especially when vectors get wider. For the Arm V1, there are some unfortunate bottlenecks. See Table 3.41 instruction throughput in
https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/6088343f85368c4...

For OP's application, the equivalents of compressstore aren't great. COMPACT is decent (1x256-bit/cycle) but CNTP occupies the bottleneck M0 pipeline.

Still, the V1 is probably fine for applications that do not often modify predicates.

Anyone looking to eat healthier

Eat fat but avoid omega-6

Even Harvard health articles say saturated fatty is correlated with diseases but it's all wrong. Processed foods are bad, they happen to have fat, not causation.

There are lot of studies and documented cases, there is no evidence saturated fat is bad.

Substitute carbs with fat.

Your food pyramid should look like this

Fat } fiber } protein } carbs

I've lost 40 lb and high BP + cholesterol all fixed in 3 months

Typical day / diet

2 fried eggs, almonds, tea with milk, Banana

Cheese sticks, coffee, vitamins

Beef, vegetable soup, beans, lentils, olives, carrots, boiled egg, and chickpeas.

Tea, butter

≠==========≠

Never eat processed food primarily because preservatives kill good bacteria

Eat during only 6 hour window as that keeps insulin level low which allows fat to energy conversion. Eventually this becomes better and you start feeling less hungry. Your eating fewer calories but metabolism doesn't slow down as much since stored fat can be used for energy.

If you're not sodium sensitive have more salt, potassium and water

If you're stressed forget about it. Stress increases insulin as it cause glucose to rise even if you haven't eaten any carbs.

Omega-6 is pure evil. Inflammation= insulin resistance = fat = more insulin resistance = the end

Walk 2 miles daily and don't stay sitting for 30+ min

Do HITT even for just 10 minutes

If you can do long water fast 2-3 days once a month

Your taste changes, first you will miss carbs then in few weeks everything even remotely sweet will feel like artificial medicine

A minimum cable -- USB 2.0 and 3 amps only -- can be considerably thinner. You don't need the extra USB 3 wires and the power wires don't need to be nearly as thick.

It isn't just a question of cost -- if you want a long cable to charge a phone, you'd probably prefer it to be thinner and more flexible, and you don't need the extra power.
I think it's because they complement better. To be fair, "stories"/snaps are not a product, they are a feature.

Reels/Tktks involve a different type of content producer than regular stories. On that side, it is "closer" to YT than regular IG

And that I think is the impedance mismatch between IG and the Reels side
The average salary in Munich is about twice as high as in Lisbon, but house prices are almost three times as high.

Additionally, Portugal is suffering from high taxes (because everyone tries to avoid paying them, it's a vicious circle), and low productivity (they are working a lot, but ineffectively and in the wrong industries).

Almost 10% of the population have emigrated to the rest of Europe and they have every right to do so, just like all Europeans have the right to live in Lisbon.

And for the Brazilians being picked on in the article - Portugal could never finance its completely unsustainable social security system were it not for the influx of foreigners working there.

What's really needed is to address government corruption, fighting tax avoidance, lowering the taxes and increasing social housing projects. But this is very difficult to do.
in many cities the 'old center' or historic center is crammed and decrepit and often has problems with homelessness/drug addicts . Most people want to live in suburbs or nice apartment neighborhoods.

Instagram isn’t dying. It’s the default app while commuting, bored, taking a dump, “looked at all my other apps and I’m bored, mindless app surfing, etc.

Also, Instagram adds value as an app that people truly enjoy from a consumption standpoint.

It’s not going anyway.
Knowing about a dozen people who spent more time in Instagram Reels and then switched to TikToks I don't know that that's true - it seems accurate to me. Personally I used Reels and YT Shorts for a few months before TikTok but the second is far better.
