We have turned full circle.

We are introducing modern pictograms ("emojis") to convey very concentrated meaning instead of spelling it out with several words. Eventually those pictograms/emojis will become stylised due to speed with most of the strokes removed and we will end up with a kind of stylised writing which would probably be quite similar in effect to modern Chinese.

First off, I'm not the user you were replying to.

Second, you're not really listening, you're just hurling insults and getting angry, that's not a healthy debate.

You didn't attempt to answer any of my prompts. You didn't even attempt to clarify your definition or understand mine or the GPs.

Sure maybe spam filter lists should be more open? I don't really disagree nor is it really relevant. It's whataboutism.

Yes spam filters could be more user sided, but so could social media moderation. Do you agree or disagree with that?
Does it make it not true. Feel free to argue against it. Newspapers like New York times and WSJ require their opinion letters cite facts for statements they make. If the ABA is pushing woke curriculum on law schools, is that not the ABA being leftist with their policies?

That's incorrect. Most of the spam never reaches your mailbox. It's only the least dubious of it that gets passed on.
I have noticed the same. The tyranny of commuting is that you must do it. There is no choice. But exercise is optional and requires additional will power. You won’t be physically stuck at work if you don’t work out. The tyranny can be surrender to and really helps with the change in mindset.

Subtitles can hurt jokes by spoiling the punchline without the actors timing or delivery.

I wonder if delaying joke/punchline subtitles till after the spoken line is complete would improve this
Even when I suspect it will be more expensive, I take it because I know it won't turn out that the credit card machine is inexplicably "broken" again.

Want to really hurt Uber?

Tighten taxi regulations so that a taxi may not legally operate without the ability to accept its full published list of acceptable payment options. The operator can take it out of service until repairs are complete, or police impound it.
that's funny, I ended up buying the book based on exactly the same HN comment and received it today. The idea that calculus could be learned based on the dual numbers is really intriguing to me, especially because I've been studying them in conjunction with their cousins the double (or split-complex) numbers, and trying to understand the whole Cayley-Klein geometry framework, for some years now.

It's sort of a never-ending spiral of research, where I never seem to be able to get to the core of the subject (geometry). Today I am looking at Stillwell's "The Four Pillars of Geometry", in yet another attempt to understand the cross-ratio, and in particular, Von Staudt's reconstruction of arithmetic based on projective geometry. Of course one could go deeper, to Klein and Russell's criticisms of Von Staudt and so on...

Right, all the existing nukes will be mothballed as unable to pay for their own operations, except where tax- or ratepayers are forced to subsidize it.

Then, the actual cost of every kWh they ever delivered will jump up as the enormous capital cost is suddenly amortized over many fewer kWh.
Which library?

AFAIK there are no libraries that aren't compatible with tokio or without a direct tokio equivalent. The sad reality is that tokio dominates so hard that it's pointless to even try any other runtime.
If you have audio on, you can't so easily ignore ads. It's intrusive.

Also, for those who think viewers are morally obligated to watch ads, my experience has been that if I don't click the "Skip Ad" button, I will keep getting more ads and never get to the feature!

Why don't cinemas have them then?

It's because people are listening to shows through terrible audio setups by default

As unhappy as I was as a user of MetaFilter, this is a bad characterization. "Read the room," as practiced on MF, means that you can't storm into a thread with your guns blazing and make it all about you and your viewpoint by responding to everyone else in the thread and dominate by sheer volume of comments. Make your viewpoint known, but don't keep insisting that it deserves a response from others. Basically, don't be the asshole party guest who barges in and demands to be the center of attention. Compared to the rest of the internet, that is the mildest imaginable social norm.
Total clickbait. Why waste our time with code you aren't even competent to evaluate. The author writes:

FYI - I haven’t run this. Never been strong in terminal and I have a tendency to break things in there already.
Running GPT-3 written code in the terminal seems like something best left to the experts…
Or maybe I’m just a chicken.

To clarify the clarification, there’s a rule on code execution that is only applied selectively. For instead Pythonista of course do execute arbitrary code, as do games running internal code through interpretors etc.

To truly "understand" money is not just about economics, but political philosophy. What used to be termed "political economy".

At a very very high level you can think of money as a promise of labour. Having it allows society to cooperate asynchronously. But there are all manner of scenarios where promises break down.
> What is 'botting'?

It's whatever your acceptable-use policy defines "botting" to be, as long as that definition is viewpoint-neutral.

A restriction against "paying a bunch of college kids $50 to spam reply this message to people for 3 hours a day" is clearly a viewpoint-neutral one, and so, yes, it would be obviously legal.
>Can I alias rm to trash-put?
You can but you shouldn't. In the early days I thought it was a good idea to do that but now I changed my mind.
Although the interface of trash-put seems to be compatible with rm, it has different semantics which will cause you problems. For example, while rm requires -R for deleting directories trash-put does not.
> Clearly it has upsides, so it's baffling to me when people greet attempts to reduce the downsides with either "This doesn't make sense, just scrap it for something else" or endless nitpicks about the approach chosen.

People have been working to reduce the downsides of C++ for decades at this point, and the results are incredibly lackluster, and frequently only work in trivial toy examples - if even then. Every now and then I try out the latest and greatest I can find in terms of dangling pointer prevention, and find myself confused as to if I've even enabled the proper checks, when even my trivial toy examples fail to trigger said checks, only to be horrified when I in fact have enabled said checks and gained nothing.

I, too, welcome any useful results. The problem is: I don't actually find the results useful. I get told garbage like "C++ is safe now!" by people who apparently don't know any better, for things underperforming existing static analysis tools from over a decade ago. It's a distraction, a false promise, and a waste of my time - which could be better spent reviewing C++ code, improving existing static analysis coverage, or going full ham and unironically pushing for incremental rewrites in Rust. Not because it is perfect: I've written and debugged my share of dangling pointer bugs in unsafe Rust code too - but because it is at least better, and provides me with tools to fight the good fight.

And if, from time to time, you find my voice amongst the nitpickers of attempts at C++ "improvements", it's perhaps because the attempt has failed, and I would rather not have others waste their time like I have on false promises. Granted, such warnings are unlikely to work: the alure of something that might ward off yet more late nights chasing yet more heisenbugs in yet another C++ codebase caused by coworkers, third parties, those long gone, or perhaps worse - by me - is just too promising. But it might.

Show me real bugs, in real codebases, caught in bulk where existing tools have failed, and you will have my undivided attention.
They certainly did not.
I always have subtitles on in games. Especially since I find it hard to focus on the words being spoken and video game cutscenes are almost always unable to be rewound. During gameplay it's harder to read and play at the same time though, although over the years it's gotten easier.

Through my years of watching Anime it's also quite easy for me to watch and read at the same time.

I think for watching movies they can be useful too, because it feels like almost every movie coming out now has terrible audio mixing for the average person. Even the audio mixing in a Dolby Atmos theatre doesn't seem right. If you watch any modern film mastered in Dobly Atmos on a TV with a sound bar you will have a bad time. You'll have a worse time if you're watching with just the TV speakers.
Ah but this is where it becomes interesting! Because we can then guage how much work this abstraction is doing for us - and indeed whether or not it might stray from the 'one true path' (whatever that might be)
Ah, right. Yeah, as far as I know, Yubikeys and other devices derive them from a single random value that each device comes with. This is due to the lack of storage space in the devices, as most of them aren't even writable at all.

If you want to switch to deriving keys this way, you could save the storage space and make the program almost stateless. You'd still need the initial random bits, and those could be stored somewhere (they can probably be just 256 bits or so) or come from the user in the form of a passphrase.
Nice! I'm the author of tpm-fido[1] which is similar to this but with some different goals. It looks like you've implemented ctap2, which has been on my todo list for tpm-fido (we currently use the ctap1 which works fine but doesn't support newer features used for passkeys/passwordless logins). Great to see other independent implementations!

The question is often asked: isn't this less secure than a physical key or touch-id? The answer is yes, but only marginally. If you have no other access to a FIDO authenticator, using a soft authenticator will still be much better than using SMS,TOTP, or Push. Phishing is the most likely way 2fa will fail you, and this is still phishing resistant.

But passkeys are real and you can essentially use them today! The Android/Chrome integration is already quite good. The Chrome/iOS interaction works but is less smooth right now. That's going to get worked out quite quickly so if you have the option to use passkeys you should!

> If the government wants all speech to be available, it can provide a space for that itself.

Honestly, I really feel like this is right at the core of the problem right now: The government does not do this. There is no "public square" online that's genuinely publicly owned and operated in the public interest.
Indeed. And distance itself is but a small part -- the gulf of age and hierarchy overshadows that.

This is literally my job, as an eBay seller! :)

That said, I do think it's something best left to businesses rather than random people. Moving the eBay stuff out of our home and into a dedicated office/warehouse space has been one of the biggest stress-reducers in my life.
I started using them for two reasons: at one place we were living, there was a lot of ambient noise which would sometimes periodically drown out the sound which can make you miss key pieces of dialogue. It's also the case that the large amount of dynamic range in many modern shows/films means that for the loud sounds to be at a reasonable volume, some speech gets almost inaudibly quiet so subtitles help with that.
This article is based on an Investopedia page that has itself retracted the $2 trillion figure. I don't doubt that the family is very wealthy but the titular claim is suspect at best.
I think my favorite example of using SMS in the least sane way possible is PayPal.

I have a hardware key AND an authenticator app active for the account, but they STILL won't let me send transactions without entering a code sent to my phone number. And actually, not even then, because even though I receive the code fine, they say they can't authenticate me and don't give me a chance to enter it. Yes, it's a VOIP number, but it's been the same VOIP number for the 10 years I've had the account. It's not like it's new.
No health professional would categorize you as overweight.

Anyone who knows their bodyfat percentage doesn't need to be concerned about BMI. They already have better information.

BMI is just something healthcare providers can do quickly in an office, or people at home, to get a general idea of what is going on.

At 12%, you are the exception.

For a male 12% is an athletic level of body fat, with ideal being (depending on who you ask) 16-20%.

12% is an extraordinarily low, and rare, for a male in the US in 2022. You are either genetically gifted, have a very, VERY, good diet, or are otherwise athletic.

The obesity epidemic is extremely real. The average body fat percentage for American males today is somewhere between 26-30%.

Of course, it may also be the case that you are very young. No child should have a bodyfat percentage higher than 16% with an "ideal" bodyfat percentage for an 18 year old being <10%.

Even back in the days before obesity engulfed the US, you would have been very rare.

During WWII, adult males being underweight was a very serious problem.

At 5'8", 165lbs, and 12% body fat with the amount of lean muscle you possess if you had been drafted into service you would have automatically been steered towards commando/airborne forces as an extremely fit person, whereas most other males were scrawny wrecks the army was worried about bulking up to get ready for combat.

The average weight for a serviceman in WWII was ~145lbs, so you have 20 lbs more muscle than a typical inductee in 1942.
I have too written C++ for years---I worked on online game server frameworks---and you are partially right, C++98 is not for mere mortals, but we still tended to use only a part of C++11 and C++14 we saw fit. This is the point: not every new C++ feature is relevant to at least some of us, and the relevant fraction is ever diminishing.
Those are horrible examples.
The other trend I notice is not caring much at all about video quality. If there’s social interaction, young people I know are happy with a low bitrate 720p streamed over discord in a small window. Maybe this is an artifact of videos on phones?
Once again, no they don't have to do this. They can use our existing legal system, which has said that this law is legal.

> I remember hearing in college (a couple decades ago) that Chemical Engineering students needed to know a lot about solving differential equations.

That stands to reason. Describing the dynamic behavior of a chemical system -- e.g. the amounts of different reactants and products over time, the temperature and pressure of the system, etc -- is exactly the sort of task that differential equations are perfect for.
Well, here in Guatemala journalists are being silenced, and it doesn't mean they're being kicked off Twitter. I really hate big tech censorship, but you're naivete about the impact of "being silenced" reminds me of this part from Days and Nights of Love and of War

>Perdí varias cosas en Buenos Aires... No me quejo. Con tantas personas perdidas, llorar por las cosas sería como faltarle el respeto al dolor.

Translates roughly as:

>I lost various things in Buenos Aires... I don't complain. With so many people lost, to cry over things seemed to lack respect for suffering.

In a kind of similar vein, you're complaint about Twitter users being silenced lacks some respect for people who are actually being silenced. Although I agree with your underlying sentiment.
I can't believe so many people (or bots) here are defending the social media oligopoly.

This isn't forcing a mom and pop store to bake a cake, it's giant corporations that are picking and choosing which users and ideologies in the world can be heard.

We don't let ISPs or mobile carriers do this, why let giant social media platforms do it?

These platforms have government officials and even entire administrations solely using them.

I won't pretend I'm fully multitasking, but sometimes I want a comfort show on in the background that I've seen before while I play a game on my phone/iPad. In those cases it's nice to be able to look up and see what was said if you just missed part of it. But I also leave subs on 100% the time I'm normally watching for the obvious reason of not missing anything, it's not just for background TV.

> I would disagree that computation is process for doing math

Sorry, but you are mistaken. This is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of historical fact. There is a reason that the title of McCarthy's original Lisp paper ends with "and Their Computation by Machine." The opening paragraph of Turing's 1936 paper ends with the sentence, "According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine."

> specifically that for operating over a discrete state space.

Sorry, but you are mistaken about that too. Analog computers and quantum computers are computers but they do not operate over discrete state spaces. They are, however, machines.

I use 1Password and 2 Yubikey.

Both yubikeys are configured to enter the same impossible to memorize password on a press to unlock 1Password, hid mode is supported by every device with a USB ports.

I also use them as an otp second factor when a site requires it.

Finally, they are configured with a x509 certificate that I use as my ssh keys. I generate one key per devices that way the secret never leaves it and I require a pin to unlock the key. For convenience, I use an ssh agent to cache the pin

I could also use them for pgp signature and encryption but I have no use case for that.

As some one who has CC on all the time if possible, here is the simple reason why I do it: it saves time.

- when I play game, I don't need to restart or rewind if I missed a sentence.

- when I watch movie, similarly, I can capture way more context without having to ask "what did the character say?"

- when I click on a short clip, I can understand without having to turn on and off audio.

It's all about convenience and saving time for me.
I've thought about this many times as well as it does suck to have it spoiled, especially if there is a long pause in the scene but the subs have been up revealing the joke/jump-scare/etc for a few seconds already. In the end I enjoy subs too much to turn them off for that reason but every time it happens I do wish the "reveal" in the subs was held until the reveal in the scene.
An overlooked aspect: older or disabled people may not have the psychological situation of a hoarder, but getting rid of stuff can be physically demanding and some are just not up to it.
