Growing up middle class in the 80s and 90s in a midsized city about an hour north of Austin, Highland Mall was a prime destination for the back to school shopping trip. The presence of Banana Republic made it rather upscale to us hicks from Bell County, though The Gap was the real scene of teen girl vs mom drama.

I was mostly interested in it for the ice rink, though. An indoor ice rink was an exciting novelty in Central Texas at the time, and that was the only public one between San Antonio and Dallas when I was a kid.
Well it’s a human pointing the camera and pushing the button. It totally depends upon the camera how much influence it has on the actual picture produced. Depending on your settings, hardware control and image processing can be applied to automate the production of a more acceptable image. Is the camera or the person holding it producing the image? Or is the photogenic environment the camera is being pointed at responsible for the resulting image?

Once I’ve selected one from the 20 or so images, had it printed, framed and placed it on my wall then weeks later notice it again when the light coming through the window catches it just right, I think that is a really great picture that transports me to another place.

Is it art? Because I was holding the camera does that make me an artist?

All I know is that my life is enhanced by having that image on my wall however it came to be there.
Switch to renewables and storage for energy production, switch over everything to electric, making it more efficient. Then let the natural systems deal with the remaining excess carbon how they deal with volcanic co2.
No kidding. I think part of the reason is also the huge amount of people flooding into dev roles, so having 2-4 years of experience puts you ahead of 70% (random number) of the other applicants, who all have 1-2 years, and you're relatively 'senior' (compared to other industries, where it would require several times longer, at least). That plus the depressingly reductionist Medium-article-writing culture with people elaborating on how to become ~Senior~ in three simple steps. Context is everything here.
I expect this to go the way of the 3D movie/TV set industry: It'll start as being a novelty, but in the end, people just won't pay extra money to get distracted from the movie.

> 24/7 by pretty much all media in the UK and in other countries.

UK is understandable. Why other countries, even supposedly "hostile" nations, constantly, year after year shove this British royal crap down our throat (and we barely ever hear about other so-called royal families but they do exist) is an interesting question. "People want it" is the usual excuse like advertising is the usual pretext/excuse for surveillance capitalism. And who are these "people" who are clamoring to know every tiny details of this not so noble family? The lumpen masses? The media usually doesn't give an F about what they "want", except on this topic. [They comprehensively saturate the information space, from highbrow journals all the way to tabloid sheets. There is no other topic like this.] Very interesting.

For years now I have trained my eyes to immediately look away from any headline that mentions a Brit royal family member. They are like the Kardashians. A completely 'who cares and why should I care' informational nuisance.

That would be a wrong assumption. After the Second Empire fell, a return to the Bourbon monarchy was considered the way forward. The problem was that the idiot next in line was too inflexible with regards to flag designs, so the Third Republic was set up with a largely ceremonial president with an extremely long term (7 years), with the hope that when that term is up, the idiot would have died, and the next in line would be the liberal Phillipe d'Orléans, compte de Paris. But by the time the term was up, the composition of parliament and the general attitude had changed, so the shaky, unstable, supposedly temporary Third Republic survived.

Henri, compte de Chambord (the inflexible idiot, proud descendant of a line of either inflexible or too flexible idiots), is thus considered as the French Washington - without him the Republic wouldn't have been possible.

> People who use screen readers would probably be very supportive of plain text Web sites.

I beg to disagree. Plain text doesn't offer any support for embedded metadata, which are vital for screen readers. With just plain text you have no way to tell apart a header, footer or aside from the main content.

> Web devs usually do a lot of work to make a Web site accessible.

Yes, they do a lot of work. Mostly using semantic HTML and embedding text descriptions in data attributes.

This should go without saying: Plain text is less accessible than well written, semantic HTML, not more.
> Random side note: on MacOS, the kernel does know all the filenames of a hardlink, because hardlinks are secretly implemented as fancy symlink-like data structures. You normally don't see any symptoms of this except that hardlinks are suspiciously slow on MacOS. But in exchange for the slowness, the kernel actually can look up all filenames of a hardlink if it wants. I think this has something to do with Aliases and finding .app files even if they move around, or something.

This reads weird to me.

As the author points out, a directory entry (hardlink) is just a filename pointing to an inode. When you first create a file, and there is only one filename for that file, that entry is a hardlink. So in that text the first occurrence of "hardlink" should probably read "the kernel does know all the filenames of an inode".

But then it gets weird. When the author says "hardlinks are suspiciously slow on MacOS", it sounds like they're saying "accessing files is suspiciously slow on MacOS" - because accessing any file in the filesystem goes through hardlinks. All links to a file, including the first, are hardlinks.

"Be wary of old men in professions where men die young"

- old Norse proverb

However, I've seen this rarely applies in tech. It works in fields where old knowledge and experience is highly valued and not go obsolete very fast like medicine, law, accounting, military, construction, sports or martial arts, but modern web and app driven tech moved fast and made a lot of old knowledge experience obsolete.

If a company is hiring a JS dev, your cobol and fortran experience from 30 years ago is pretty useless to them and won't give you extra money for it than a new grad with only JS experience under his belt. But as a dentist, the experience you gained 30 years ago is still a benefit to you now.

I've had to struggle a lot to get hired as a backend dev with 10 years of experience in coding C for real time systems because no employer valued my previous knowledge for their business.
Here in the UK I still hear many climate sceptics. Also arguments from developing countries that they're less responsible due to them being industralised for much less of a time. Would argue on the last point that the last quarter millenia of tech and social advance mitigates their effects.

The UK's "overshoot day" is in May. This is the point I try make to people who are sceptical about making personal decisions in their life to reduce consumption and demand because they feel other countries aren't pulling their weight.

Is "SubscriberLink" a way to share paywalled LWN stuff with non-subscribers? Damn, I had no idea. I just presumed they un-paywalled stuff every now and again (like after N days or so).
On net, yes things are fine. Look up Alex Epstein, he makes the point that the benefits humans gain from fossil fuels far outweigh the cons.

What is it we are trending towards? That we will make the sky gods really angry and the earth will go up in a blazing inferno? I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.

The clip everyone is talking about shows Nadezhdin is not falling into either of those camps. He wants the Russians to give up. This is not too shocking because he is kind of the Colmes of Hannity and Colmes, there for the main host to make look like a fool. What's surprising is a couple of the others agree with him and the counterargument being so weak on TV, usually they are ready to pounce on him with some nice sounding jingoism. I think some of the less committed propagandists are starting to worry about their legacy
Also, unique. Or at least unique-ish.

Whoever named the ML thing "transformer" deserves a special place in hell. So many intriguing headlines, so few things worth reading. (I'm an EE, so I'm very interested in the other transformers. For some reason, the headlines for these things scan like they could apply to either. Alas, they don't.)

So true. The purpose of EDI/X12 was to be the single source of truth. It was okay while the military used it, as they would have stricter control over the standard, but once it was unleashed into the world of business...

There is not much point in it other than every customer is not starting from a plain slate but modifies the existing format to their needs and reuses the COBOL-style software to parse/generate the files. It's the path of least resistance.
As always, the off topic invitation cannot be passed.

The two-level grammar of Algol 68 gave the semantics of Algol 68 in a denotational language, the second level. As such, it is not more complicated as other languages with defined semantics, such as in the ML family. To my knowledge, people used that second level to implement a real virtual (ho hum) machine, resulting in a working interpreter. However, the ML aficionados can be surprised with the information that their language was not first one with fully defined semantics. Algol 68 was ahead of its time.

As for Pascal, history as I know says that Wirth invented Pascal as a training language for a course in which a one pass compiler was to be built. Only later, when the Algol 68 project became complicated, Wirth started to market it as a superior design - something which it never has been.

And yes, I enjoyed Turbo Pascal.

> one feature no other weather app has

WeatherNerd: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weather-nerd/id958363882

Has a calendar icon, tap it to see any actual day historically or, if more tham 2 weeks ahead, based on almanac type prediction. Used to be best out there for considering travel three months from now.

I’m a weather geek with ~4 folder panes of 9 apps each, and WeatherNerd is in the “must have” front pane.

Dark Sky used to be my #1, but was superseded by Carrot (which has a Dark Sky feed) for everyday use and Windy.app at storm-prone water front with microclimates and wind/wave/tide patterns, thanks to meteogram-style overlay of competing weather models for precipitation and wind.

Windy.app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/windy-app-wind-weather/id99707...

iOS 16 Weather is remarkable though. It’s now easily third on my list, and would likely be first for most people especially since no subscription fee. For instance, try to use apps to look at UV graph for next Saturday — few can. The live background is fun, and the iPad layout is as much detail instrumentation as most people can handle.

But in my book, DarkSky started it all — the race for precise accurate practical usable micro cell weather, and happy for them they are now getting into so many more hands through the new iOS 16 app.

But Carrot is the spiritual successor.

Carrot: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/carrot-weather-alerts-radar/id...

It has TimeTravel too. And because Carrot has a fully editable UI builder, it transmogrifies into whatever weather app you like best.

> "Such a module is called a monitor…” Not a mutex? It literally has the words “mutual exclusion” in it. Is this where Java’s bogus synchronization comes from?

> Can’t really blame him, literally nobody knew how to do multithreading well before Rust. Even in 2013 your choices were limited to “Erlang” and “suffering”. And in 1978 I’m not sure that anyone even had done enough multiprogramming for practical concerns like that to come up.

To borrow from the author himself, "omg it's adorable". Per Brinch Hansen invented, named, and implemented this "monitor" concept in 1968 or somewhen about that time and published it in his 1973 book "Operating System Principles" (C.A.R. Hoare would popularize this concept further in his 1974 paper "Monitors: An Operating System Structuring Concept"). This book also describes RC 4000 operating system which, by the way, inspired the whole microkernel research in the 70-ies and 80-ies. By 1978, the same Hansen guy has published another book, "The Architecture of Concurrent Programs", in which he describes both a new language, Concurrent Pascal, and a new microkernel OS called "Solo", implemented entirely in Concurrent Pascal.

So believe it or not, people did know how to do multithreading stuff way before Rust has graced us all with its existence.
It is not fear mongering. The costs of climate change are going to run into the trillions and the people most affected will be the poor and the disadvantaged.

And any positives e.g. better shipping from APAC to Europe (relatively useless) pale in comparison to the negatives e.g. all of the Pacific islands disappearing.
Some years ago I read an article about the monarchy there fighting against laws that prohibit criticism, the king himself said it shouldn't be applied anymore. But it seems the monarchy is generally so well loved on one side and government is using the law to silence critics on the other. So that changing the laws is pretty difficult.

I always thought it would be interesting if someone were able to create an image that wasn't CSAM, but that would nevertheless be falsely flagged as CSAM by the detection algorithms. That would potentially be a great way to cause someone a lot of headaches by sending seemingly innocent pictures that would inadvertently put them on a watchlist.

This seems much easier to exploit though assuming some devices / applications will notify the FBI with enough suspicious activity. I guess it depends if counterfeiting is taken as seriously as CSAM.
Yes, but the cat is fed inside the house as well, leading to a huge overpopulation of predators. That's not the natural order of things.

A normal predator that devastates the local ecosystem because there are too many will run out of food and then go down in numbers until some sort of equilibrium is restored. Doesn't happen with pets.
