I think I remember reading this excellent article when he first wrote it. While I have supported the FSF off and on for decades, and I like the idea of free software, public data commons, etc., I feel stuck: my work/writing/personal lives are so intertwined with the Apple ecosystem, I don’t feel like I can walk away. Everything works, programming tools, communications, handoff between devices, etc. What really makes me feel trapped in Apple’s ecosystem is the Apple Watch. Being able to move through the world with just one very small device is addictive. I absolutely love not having to carry a phone or other larger devices when I leave my house. If I am walking around my neighborhood and my 101 year old Dad calls me, I can take the call.

I do still have 3 old Linux laptops, but any desire for the pleasure I get from using Linux can be met by working on GCP, AWS, etc.
Don't worry about other people's behavior, just focus on your own. Because that is what you re really telling me. You do not want to change your own behavior.

Eh, there's not necessarily anything illegal about your streaming platform showing video of illegal activities.
Glad you got it updated before you missed an event! That's the worry that made me look for something flexible and software-defined that I could run in GitHub Actions.
> How do you differentiate crypto from any other video game currency.

Being able to use it literally anywhere but that game springs to mind as an easy check. If crypto is the same as game currency doesn’t that invalidate the vast majority of claims about the benefits of crypto?
So their solution to management and process problems is to "manage harder." Yeah, this is going to go well.

> Humble Bundles are not the right way to support a charity -- they're the right way to support IGN

There are actually people who buy the bundles to get the ebooks. If there are more than 2 or 3 ebooks in the bundle that they would have otherwise bought from the publisher or at retail then the bundle costs them less.

That the bundle also includes a small donation to a charity and several other books is just a bonus.
I personally do not, but my company issued laptop does.

I would not disagree that it makes the computer worse, there was a significant performance decrease when the latest version was installed earlier this year but this is off topic.

I remember my friend telling me the crazy things he did in order do avoid draft during the Vietnam War - not washing for a month, smelling shit and so on. But consciously breaking one's arm seems like a far more desperate move.

Kind of sad when you think longer about this. Times have changed and common people still have to fight against their will just because their monarch says so. One would think we've evolved past that stage already.

The rust book. Reading it start to finish provides a very good basis.

And if you're tempted to "learn by doing" with the usual linked lists, go and read "learning rust with entirely too many linked lists": https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/

Rust has enough rare or novel concepts that trying to learn on the job with no book learning whatsoever is really reserved for the rarefied few. Though I understand that a lot of C and C++ concepts port quite easily, it also differs from those languages (especially C++ for advanced features) that doing a bit of a reset will avoid future pains e.g. Rust's concepts of copy, move, references, ... are very different from C++'s and going in half-cocked will be frustrating.
Well, it's possible "backed", in the sense that there are dollar-denominated assets backing it. They've already admitted that it's not actual dollars, and that some of them at least are foreign assets.

Which probably means it's Chinese dollar-denominated debt, perhaps stuff like Evergrande bonds that you could get for $0.05 on the dollar. So, it is "backed", perhaps, in that there are dollar denominated assets.

But, functionally, it's probably not backed in a way that does anyone any good. So your basic point is correct. At some point, people rush for the exits, and when they do, BTC may collapse with it.

My view is he's being pragmatic. Why switch from C to C++? The expected value from such a change isn't worth the effort.

Rust though? That could make the kernel more secure in the long-term and rule out a whole class of bugs. This makes sense.
Ironically, as email services are making creating new accounts even harder, by adding mobile phone verification and Google outright blocking "untrusted" clients - spam count keeps growing from gmail and outlook (hotmail) domains. And looks like gmail spam filter ain't very good either, as no matter how many spam letters you mark as spam, one definitely will get through in the future. Another problem, that one cannot ban gmail or outlook domains for incoming spam, as most business contacts are usually using those.
Melkon is the Armenian form of the name "Melchior", so yes.
That reminds me of Auto Brewery Syndrome:

It's interesting that those that are diagnosed don't have driving restrictions like people with epilepsy since they are actually intoxicated by it, but that might just be because it's so rare that most people don't know or refuse to believe it exists. They'll have it the worst if this actually gets mandated and deployed.

Big-business gambling is no less damaging (or no less "excessive") than small-business gambling. The real difference between big and small is whether the people pocketing the profits tithe a portion of them to political campaigns or not.

Google Docs:

You can use Insert > Building Blocks > Meeting Notes, or build a template manually:

1. Create a heading for each day and insert the current date using @today

2. Add a checklist under the heading
https://www.howtogeek.com/733363/how-to-create-a-checklist-i...

3. Add @today for each item when you insert it into the list (eg: a first created date). If you'd like the actual delta in days, you might need to write a function using apps script: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47545080/calculating-dif...

4. Optionally add a recurring calendar invitation (I called mine "Current Week") at the beginning of every week and Insert > Smart Chips > Calendar Event.

5. If you'd like to customize names, you can optionally create calendar events from Sheets: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59167098/create-calendar...

6. Optionally build a table of contents which you can toggle in the side-bar

How did it affect your coding ? do you use different patterns / idioms ? are you more ambitious due to less bugs ? do you design / prototype differently ?
1) Then all this started when Democrats accused the other side in 2016, so by your logic, _that_ was projection and their first step in 2020's fraud. 2) that logic is circular. Given that logic, any complaint about insecure elections is projection and there is never any valid complaint about election security. 3) It's been said to happen in both democrat and republican counties and states. Neither party (nor closed-source private companies) should "control" elections. They should be 100% above board, fair, and one person one vote and run on open source hardware and software.

One should take complaints seriously but with a grain of salt, investigate, and draw conclusions. One way to do that is do download the official records from PA, analyze them, and see for yourself there are many discrepancies that show at a minimum massive issues with mail-in ballot verification in PA. The code linked above helps you do that, or you can do it yourself easily enough with your favorite tool. Maybe each of those has a valid explanation, but I've yet to see any.

Usually yes but we are talking about Fischer here, whose anti-Semitism was a bit different then the standard.
Wow. Is boomeranging actually common at Amazon then? Why would you go back to a company that you had to leave in order to get a raise? It seems like the cultural aspects at the root of leaving would not have fundamentally changed the second time around.

Paul Graham favored Lisp, which gives programmers limitless freedom to implement whatever they want, Rust is the opposite side of that.

What you're saying is that, as the address the developer received the money from was not specifically listed by OFAC as Tornado Cash (in [1]), it wouldn't be a prohibited transaction for the developer that would need reporting, even though it seems like it was just transferred from 0xA160cdAB225685dA1d56aa342Ad8841c3b53f291 (on the SDN list from OFAC) a few minutes before through a few addresses? I don't really know, but if that were the case, that seems like it would enormously limit the applicability of the sanctions?

> How do you differentiate crypto from any other video game currency. You can buy in game currencies for real money and literally gamble with it inside a game with literally slots or loot boxes or whatever, then trade it to others as well, in exchange for real money.

This has been and is still in danger as being banned as gambling. So the answer is that you don't bother, and you ban that too.
> the number of peoples you can have a sane discussion about unsafe use is quiet low

There will always be outliers, but I actually think the Rust community has done a really great job around discussing unsafe in the years since the actix-web issue. See a really great discussion at: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/we91es/good_example_o...

Just some anec-data, but I had some benchmark code which was unsafe (indexing into an array of bytes, no UTF8 validation), that I wanted to rewrite as safe (by leaning on the std lib, so plenty of unsafe under the hood) just to see how much slower it would be, and the code ended up being ~20-30% faster. Sometimes the unsafe patterns we bring with us just don't match the Rust model.

First off, throwing a LUT in there is not color grading!!!!!!!! People making this claim are appreciated as it lets me know immediately that they are not familiar with the subject at all. It's like a shibboleth. Edit: I mean this in the nicest way. It's just a pet peeve of mine. You already stipulated you didn't fully grok the topic.

In a full color grading session, you can have power windows. You can have those power windows tracking. You can have noise reduction. You can have other filters. You can do so so much. All of that takes up memory. You can be dealing with 8k footage. You can have many many many layers of that footage. You can be grading in >16bit color space.

You can do all of that with very little VRAM at a snails pace, or you can do it in real-time with all of that VRAM and keep the client in a supervised session happy. With all of that VRAM, you can export at faster than real-time for delivering the content to the client at the end of the session rather than the next day after an overnight render.

>was peaceful, except for the bribery, threats, assault, dangerous driving and setting a building on fire. That and the $6 billion economic loss, or the fact that nobody wanted them there

Many of these points applies to BLM protests. Should those organizers be booted from the financial system as well?

>or the fact that nobody wanted them there, or that the protesters were protesting the COVID-19 vaccination mandate

should this be a factor in determining the acceptability of a protest? Can you do it in a principled way that doesn't simply boil down to "if it's for a Just Cause then you can do whatever you want"? Finally, what does this mean for past movements which were also super unpopular? LGBT rights protests come to mind.

Scotchgard contains PFAS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotchgard

They reformulated it in 2003 with a PFAS which is less persistent than what it was before but there are still questions about it. If textiles are contaminated with PFAS I'd think they are treating them to get an effect similar to Scotchgard.
Through trial and error and the application of some rarely employed, but highly-effective educational strategies like active learning, distributed practice, mixed review, mastery-based learning, interleaving, layering, etc., you end up with a pace of learning that's a little shocking.

AMD's OpenCL implementation and tooling were really, really rough. Lots of hard lockups, memory leaks, and forum threads ending in the person with the question giving up and switching to team green. I followed this path eventually, too. The breaking point happened when I had spent an entire day trying to get a bit of OpenCL working, thinking that I was at fault, but then I tried running it on a NVidia box, hoping to get a more descriptive error, but the code Just Worked. NVidia's OpenCL implementation was better than AMD's, and not by a small amount. CUDA was better still. I realized I had thrown away $n0000 of my own time chasing a $n00 discount on the AMD card (controlling for perf). Never again.

Now that AMD has money, hopefully they have fixed their stack, but I'm still in "once bitten, twice shy" mode. I want to see someone else in my field using AMD on tasks I care about before I try team red again.
I started experiencing this myself a couple months ago, and of course searching for any sort of solution with modern search engines is a path to insanity.

Because almost all of the spam that is getting through - to me, at least - follows a very simple template - something that spam blockers should be incredibly good at handling - I was able to concoct a reasonable solution.

Google has this Apps Script thing* where you can deposit JavaScript and then schedule that JavaScript to run every minute. They expose a Gmail API and once you've given your script access to your Gmail inbox, you can process the unread messages and look for telltale signs of spam (for me, inspecting the subject for a regex match of `/confirmation#/i` has been adequate[0]) and finally move the message to spam. Since it runs every minute instead of on an event of new mail, new messages may appear unread for a short period of time.

* though there are options to deploy your project it is not necessary to do so in order to run the script on a schedule

Heading into the last phase of my working life, I still have no idea what to think of 'progress' and 'innovation'. I like that Jason Crawford (rootsofprogress.org) is thinking and writing about these topics.

Adjacently: I'm pretty sure there's a 'temperament' component. Pessimism vs optimism. Something like the OCEAN personality traits. Reactionary vs progressive.

I've been binging politics, history, and philosophy. Stuff like the podcast Know Your Enemy, which traces the origins and rise of the current movement conservatives. I now have a better appreciation for the American anti-progress mindset.

Typified by the movement's creator like this:

A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop,
at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience
with those who so urge it.

-- William F. Buckley, Jr.

For whatever reason, by whatever means, this anti-progress mentality is currently shared by a large fraction of the population.

This belief has both left- and right-wing manifestations. For instance, as a tree hugger, I've definitely been a doomer wrt climate crisis. And now that it's been pointed out to me, I see similar defeatism among the left. Chris Hedges, obviously. But I'm talking about in my own life, as an activist and participant.

So. This is a long way of saying, I hope Crawford, and others, eventually acknowledge that we have dozens of cohorts wrt "progress", and trying to bring everyone along is quixotic.

Alternatively, I'd encourage him create, articulate, and the advocate his own political and moral philosophy of progress. There will always be haters, Eeyore's, concern trolls, and so forth. Glean whatever useful bits they offer. But otherwise ignore them. Any attention to the insincere, unconstructive critics is a distraction, keeping you from doing your own awesome thing.

Advice I would give my younger, newly minted activist, if I could.

For this particular category I think there's going to be a lot more contributing variables than for gambling. Not only would it have high engagement and sub activity but:

- a lot of the streamers also game

- even if they don't, there are streamer cliques and social groups which are primarily gaming, of which they're a part

- a lot of viewers who only watch gaming will watch some streamer within the aforementioned clique/social group and be exposed to crossovers

- a lot of the viewers of that category also watch gaming streamers, so this will put those streams in the "people who watch this also watch" algorithmic bucket

None of the above are significantly the case for gambling except maybe the last one, and even then much less so.

It’s always strange to see grey comments with no responses explaining why anyone disagrees. In some cases it’s clear – maybe someone appears to be a troll or something. In this case I wonder why someone would downvote me for wanting to support content creators. It isn’t a perfect analogy but it seems that selling software to users is something a lot of us here can get behind – wouldn’t we want our users to want to support us? Maybe I’m missing something though.
