Hate is an emotional response. Maybe the journalists in the media might be required back up their ambiguous commentary on a public emotion with regulated evidence and statistics demonstrating the quantity and/or quality of the emotion. It could make very clear how tenuous some truth claims are, in the infinitely credible state and corporate media we all observe.

"Hate" evidenced from a 4chan troll board is of a quantity and quality different to "hate" sourced from a senator's or CEO's mouth. Why are emotional ideas allowed to be vaguely and uncritically reported?
The comma also dictates cadence. The comma implies a pause, which is also the correct delivery. The lack of a pause is not.

Not the composer, who had his entire account suspended from the ads platform for this. I assume the ad account for the film also would have also similarly been suspended.
>Why has there been an increase in in the fragmentation of American (and Western) society?

The 'increase' is that it is more-widely known about.

>Why do so many of us feel so alone, despite being more connected?

We're not 'more connected'. We are just more aware there are others connected, too.

I can't wait to see the social and military studies that will come out of the Ukraine war. There, i see a connection (between people), but even within that, there are collaborators...fragmenters. And you can bet some good money there is a line of people waiting to take over from Zelensky.

Fragmented we are, connected we aren't.
I dream of creating “the thinking player’s Stronghold” with more complex defences and economy, but articles like this confirm that it will only ever be a dream. Hell, perhaps DF is already 80% of what I want.
Let's Encrypt doesn't work with HTTP 3 or what do you mean?

Human persons need strong encryption much more than legal persons. Legal persons can't die/have their health damaged/be thrown in prison/be lynched by a mob. This is a way to make it available to everyone.

It's not hard to setup your CA and add a profile with it if you just want to communicate with other human persons and it must be HTTP 3. Of course browsers don't include random humans' CAs... I am happy about that.

And why don't you just use HTTP 1/2 over amateur radio? That your 0.0000001% usecase (don't tell me you yourself do it more often) isn't supported doesn't mean the whole thing is bad.
Finally someone with common sense wrote something about this.

I have no idea how this thing even caught on.
I've been near-sighted from a young-ish age (around 10 or so). I can't see anything more than a foot away without glasses, but I can focus on things that are barely an inch from my face.

I don't think it was necessarily caused by computers. I was born cross-eyed, and my right eye experienced neurological death by the time they got fixed.

Now I can only read (easily) from my left eye (even though my right eye is perfectly sharp!) and it's impossible for me to experience motion sickness in VR (which is a benefit, I guess).

It is a really weird feeling to be able to resolve every detail on an eye chart, but not be able to say which letter it is :(
In 2007, I wanted to start a blog to release some of the software and videogame side projects I had begun developing in college (at the time, a Kernel Panic Screen Saver for the Mac and Cursorcerer, a Mac system tool for hiding the cursor with a hotkey) . A friend of mine sent me a piece of php code he'd written that would spit out a huge list of 2-word pairs chosen at random from an English dictionary.

I scanned through this huge vertical list of word outputs, and the pair "doom laser" instantly stuck out to me. That sounds cool! A few hours later, http://doomlaser.com was born, and I snagged https://twitter.com/doomlaser as well. I'm still updating Cursorcerer. It continues to run in macOS Ventura, and it has been downloaded on the order of a hundred thousand times. People are still downloading it from the same blog entry I wrote for it in 2007 :)

The friend who wrote the word pairing program is one of the co-founders of Rogue Amoeba, though I've never asked if it was the source of the name of their company.

I have a hard time to remember when was the last school shooting. It must have been around 10 years ago. In the us my guess would be at maximum a month ago and that is an optimistic guess.
Probably used much more efficiently.
It's a livestream of a racist gunman shooting actual people, together with his commentary. Real people are really being killed in that video. I'm not a fan of censorship, but this shouldn't be publicly available.
It needs a broader knowledge to be useful at depth. For example understanding the performance of memory isn't linear, memory coherency for multi processor systems, and in recent times distributed systems.
I basically followed this: http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/schoolofco...

- but "took" more courses than necessary for my self-learning (I think I read through all of Logic / Language courses, insanely fascinating topic).

- I would not recommend a self-learner to follow it rigorously. Like if you are a working programmer, look for material that will help you at your work. Idea is to apply the knowledge.

- Some courses have assignments shared so that's great if you have the time check them out too. Definitely great for their database courses.
I don't agree at al with his analysis of the crate ecosystem. I'd love to see either the standard library grow considerably or some semi-standard major libs to appear.

For example, you find a crate that seems to do what you need. 1) are you sure it has high enough quality? 2) Is the license compatible with your needs? 3) What long term guarantees exist for API stability? 4). Is it actually maintained?

All of this needs checking off. If you don't do them, your project will be a sprinter, not a marathon runner, as dependency addition is cheap but dependency maintenance is a slow burning major cost.

The transitive dependencies make it worse, as they need independent vetting.

This cost is acceptable for major libs, but the zillion 100-line left pad ish libs have to go.

I'd love to have some standard rust guarantee declaration, including at least the declaration of the author's intent. You won't maintain something or won't stabilize an API? Fine, your project, your rules. But don't make me hunt for that info.
For context, NRC is a Dutch quality newspaper, and this is a translation of a Dutch article with a target audience of Dutch people.
The hosting provider is free to decide who they want to host and who they don't want to host. If they're fine with being known for knowingly hosting the scum of the earth, more power to them; but they are also absolutely allowed to nope out of that.
That is sensible, but I still don't understand why people take a stand against the comma. Is saving a single tiny character that important even if it is not ambiguous to leave it off? Why would people recommend against its use?
> Just use Tokio and libraries that support it.

Yeah, that's the problem :) Not all libraries I want to use, uses Tokio. What about those? Was that really the plan with async in Rust, that I'll get to chose between two ecosystems and if I chose one, I cannot use the other?

Then just put Tokio in the standard library so there is at least some resemblance of consistency in the ecosystem.
This is disappointing, and while there might be some unknown factors here, it does seem to follow a concerning trend.

While demonetization isn’t technically censorship, it is discouragement and disincentivizing, which can have a similar effect as censorship without its messiness.
In fact, today already there are CPUs that support larger address spaces. But OSes should be smart and only provide pointers with the top 16 bits free while the application fits - even if some programs in the future end up using >256TB of address space, not all will, and those that don't should be able to take advantage of 48-bit pointers.

Moreover, a single program could even take advantage of a "low heap" that stores metadata, and can have 48-bit pointers pointing to it, and a "high heap" of the actual large data (whose addresses take the full 64 bits, but may include tagged pointers to the low heap without doubling the memory footprint of the already humongous 256TB)
That code is written in a very declarative, functional style. Haskell is a language that forces you to write code like that, so might be a worth a look if your goal is to write ‘pretty’ code.

However, I’d also add that becoming an “elegant” and “useful” programmer are often at odds with each other. It’s very easy to spend so much time trying to make your code pretty with the perfect abstractions that you never actually finish anything.

If your goal is to be useful and productive then learning by writing a lot of code in a lot of different languages, styles and code based might serve you better than focussing on beautiful source code. Though if you can do both, then please do!

It was moderated, though. The thread was deleted, the shooter was banned, and multiple users cheering him on were banned.
Inconsistency creates confusion as well. If there isn't an example of the Oxford comma increasing ambiguity, I see no reason it shouldn't be used every time.
Rust is worse, because at least .NET doesn't require going hunting for an async runtime that is compatible with all 3rd party dependencies, and all graphical debuggers know how to step through async code.
No, they write "We visited Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda and Turks and Caicos". Like people do in Spanish, where the Oxford comma doesn't exist.
Exactly the same flow of emails for me (same content) and all the links in the emails are not working.
You analogy doesn't hold. You don't need to understand most things (if any) to drive a car. But applying doing. statistical calculation, interpretation and everything else needs to he done with understanding. To understand why you take this distribution function over the other, you will need to understand them which means you need to understand motr fundamental concepts. surprisingly, they depend on your calculus understanding.
Awesome! I think a lot of the fast.ai community would be interested to learn from your experiences.

That's the "ISPs are not common carriers" point of view. Tends to go away when their machine learning bans you for an unspecified reason.
People keep wanting to have profile pictures of their "real" selfs and talk about their private life with the same people they write code with. That didn't use to happen. Back in the day, there wasn't even any avatars, just emails! Then people started using nicknames, that was fine. And first when avatars appeared, we used images of something else. Myspace and Facebook brought up the whole "I have to be the same person I'm online as I'm in the real-life" syndrome, and now we have what you described above.
You gotta admit, they do invest a ton of money into security. Mainly to keep consumers from running their own custom software on their devices. I guess that keeps out attackers too. But do keep in mind the user themself is probably part of Apple's threat model.
I never heard about Turks and Caicos and was able to parse it correctly. Maybe it is because we don't have Oxford comma in Spanish.
Thanks. I know it always feels like the other side started it and did worse [1]. There are always datapoints around to support that idea, since we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here [2].

But if people feel like that makes it ok to break the rules themselves, we end up with a downward spiral [3], so that can't be right. The solution is to stick to the site guidelines no matter what other people do, and let us know about the other cases by flagging them or emailing us.

Most engineering stuff. SW is an exception because SW testing is more about: if the input value can be any int value but customer requires that the function , when given 5 as input returns 3 as output then the function is tested only with 3 as input.

I think the counterpoint to this attitude is Figma. Figma looks great, and designers love it, but as a casual user it's a nightmare to use or find anything in.

There is the old "function over form" and "form over function" dichotomy. I'm a huge "function over form" fan; I like things simple and easily understood. But I understand that I'm in a minority and most people prefer "form over function"

On this topic, there is still a community of players and creators around adventure games (or 'interactive fiction'). Check ifdb.org for reviews and recommendations.

I'd say modern IF games are often more playable than classic games, which are in some cases really unforgiving in this particular genre.

These are some of the games I would recommend: 'Fate' by Victor Gijsbers, 'Floatpoint' by Emily Short, 'Galatea' also by Emily Short, 'Photopia' by Adam Cadre, 'Aisle' by Sam Barlow, and 'Nightfall' by Eric Eve.

Hi Jaime, this is my first time hearing about SurrealDB and it looks awesome! Do you have any documentation outlining the system architecture and how it works under the hood? Thanks for the great work!
I have one point to add to the topic.

The author claimed that calculus is required to biology major in many colleges. I would argue the opposite, I thought at two different universities and talked to many people. They always find it strange that it is not required for most biology fields. There is even an American invention called algebra based physics. This for people in biology who never saw calculus and your try to teach them physics and mechanics without calculus (Good luck with that, that is at best lost opportunity to understand physics) I thought in algebra bases physics classes many times and it was always horrible experience for both sides. Also calculus is not mandatory in US pre-college.

In general, you don't understand physics without calculus, period.

Your comment really gave me pause. I've used FileMaker for many years but never gave the name that much thought.

I can't say how the name was chosen. But, I believe I understand the justification for it. It is pretty straightforward once the metaphor is clear. The files it is making are the type of files that go into filing cabinets, not the files on a computer. Early versions of the software had a logo/picture of a building that was a giant filing cabinet and the app logo has usually been a filing folder.

The name makes sense in that isn't about making files on a computer but to help small business convert physical files found in filing cabinets into digital ones in wysiwyg database.

1 & 2: Best generalist lisp routines were natively included along the years. So "lisps" (as non-tech guys call autocad scripts), nowadays, only make sense to answer to custom needs. You can be sure that any architectural office have plenty of stuff (design related) that could be gladly optimized/automated. The problem is that they rarely have a person (or the budget) to do it.

Show HN: Lota – An online ePub reader with VS Code style
Previously when I wanted to learn languages by reading the original, I started looking for an EPUB reader.

I wanted it to be

1. browser-based, so I could use my browser extensions

2. cross-platform, so I could read on different devices

3. able to read multiple books at the same time, so I don't have to open multiple windows

Unfortunately, I didn't find it.

As a developer, I really like the flexible layout and power of VS Code, so I tried to combine its design concept with EPUB reader, and Lota was born.
Why would anyone need this page to justify Adobe's move? I would think the straight up adoption rate of Figma alone would easily justify it to pretty much anyone.
"Faster in the cloud
With Figma, your files just live on the Web. No more version mixups. No more cloud syncing. No more transferring files between your work and personal computers."

In other words, your data doesn't belong to you. No service, no data.

There is no cloud just other people's computer.
Again, you claim that, but evidence shows that banning research on human cloning has indeed stopped it from happening, even though a sheep was successfully cloned almost 30 years ago (and the technology is not significantly different).
I've noticed a difference in tone:

> „Right now, Nick Lim is like a wounded elk”, says internet researcher Guilmette, who monitors the websites’ every move. „It is time to move in quickly for the kill, before he gets away again.”

If I didn't know better, I'd assume these people don't want others to be able to advocate for certain ideas. It's funny how that works. One side gets to use the freedom of speech excuse when, say, targeting children, but merely disagreeing with that magically becomes hate speech, which totally isn't free speech, and must be mercilessly destroyed.

Oh well, people can go into the streets if they want to speak and, hey, once it really comes to that point there will be more than strong words now won't there be?
More recently, the post that allegedly got Kiwi Farms removed from CloudFlare — a dubious bomb threat made by a previously inactive account — was removed from the site quicker than Facebook removed the Christchurch shooter's livestream.

I've noticed that every source of information I find particularly trustworthy and meaningful ends up getting corrupt and re-purposed for malicious intent.
