Lets imagine your are right.

So if you go to a person on the street, and ask them: "are you happy to live through something like the black death, but slighly better"? and the responce is gonna be "yeah, that's fine. We should not take action to prevent that"

Can you imagine the devastation it left behind?

Also the problem with the comparison is that the plague is finished withing a decade once everyone has immunity or dies. On the other hand clinate change is forever.

And if it induces drounght, crop failures and famine, it could kill hundreds of millions, maybe two billion - and then it would be worse
Sounds like AWS got it right.
The wors part is that it sets you automatically "Away" when using Teams mobile app. You are only "Available" when the app is opened.

TIL that's a thing.
One can accept nature as it is, or view everything through the lens of a belief system. The letter generates a lot of heat but not necessarily any light. And nature doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not.

And whenever a belief system is dominant, look for who is benefiting from it and who pays the price.
Everything's obvious in hindsight though, which is why watching it for the first time really hits so hard because you genuinely see none of it coming.
This is How Canada Talks (2018)
The author talks about building a diagram of the relations in an industry. Any sufficiently complex industry (or any system, really) has so many different kinds of relations that they can't be expressed in a single diagram without making a mess. What he should be doing is breaking up these relations across multiple perspectives: https://www.ilograph.com/blog/posts/multiperspective-diagram...
For me it was Graeber/Wengrow’s Dawn of Everything, which validated the viability of alternative realities

I don’t think you are getting it.

Grave of the firefly is not a cautionary tale. You are failing to put it in its cultural context. Seita mostly acts or try to act as would be expected from a Japanese man at this time and the people around him are actually not really trying or failing to help because they are trying to survive the war too.

Takahata is actually extremely sympathetic to their plight.

In a lot of ways it is a reverse Hollywood war movie. There is no real heroism. Courage is pointless, people selfish in their will to survive. The protagonists are clueless and ineffective but they are touching in their humanity and try to root for each other and yet they fail and die forgotten.

It’s really a movie about how much of a waste war is. Takahata doesn’t even try to introduce suspense and plays it straight from the beginning. You know from the beginning that the protagonists struggle is pointless and that’s the point.

What’s wild about this is trying to imagine those scales when you remember how absolutely huge the earth is relative to each of us.

If you haven’t done this before, go out into the desert or canyons or the Hoover dam (in the U.S.) and experience viscerally how tiny each of us is relative to nature.

Trying to hold that in my mind while also conceptualizing the distance to Mars, or the size of the sun … I can’t do it!

The Overstory by Richard Powers: this book changed the way I look at trees. I'll be driving some days and out of nowhere notice a tree and appreciate it. This book inspired me to consider that there is an objective meaning to life.

The Incerto Series by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: where to start...I started reading this series over a decade ago and I still think about it weekly. It can be very dense to get through as I took a lot of notes. But I think it's worth the trouble. One of my favorite chapters is via negativa. This is the concept that it is easier to know what NOT to do than what should be done. Many interested ideas flow out from that when it comes to personal health, public policy, and morality.

Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman: this book opened up my eyes to a host of mental biases. It's similar to some of Taleb's work but IMO easier to read. My favorite chapter surrounded the idea of the self as your memory vs your experience. Thought experiment: if you could take your dream vacation at no expense but would have no memories or photos/videos of the trip would you do it?
so that’s what that strange USB plug poking out of a brick wall is for: transference of “ideas”.
I was about to post here that with the upcoming Zen 96 core chip we're now 40% of the way there to the name of the site.

Then I clicked on your link and ten years ago I was making basically the same point about Haswell EP.

See you all in ten more years.
CUDA is not the problem, the problem is crappy code being released on Github where basic things like requirements.txt are missing, never mind an earnest attempt to provide details about the environment that the code was running on. This is on top of code that has lots of hard-coded references to files and directories, plus also many python libraries just breaking compatibility with each other on point releases.

I can't find a source now, but I remember reading some code where the maintainer had to change a huge chunk of code because the point change for a dependency library literally flipped either how the library handled height/width or BGR channels (I can't remember which one but it was preposterous) from the 2.5.4 to the 2.5.5 version. There is no reason for doing that - it breaks everything just for grins and giggles.

Python itself is also a problem, but that's a rant for another day. Ah, how I wish Ruby had become the defacto language of choice for ML/Deep Learning!
Don't forget the massive memory use, oh and now there's TWO versions of teams - one for 'work or school' accounts and one for other Microsoft accounts. What a great idea said nobody ever.
> open source, means the source code is available, in my opinion.

Hard disagree because I have been in the open source arena for two decades and I have never seen any notable project using "open source" to mean "source code is available". A software whose source code is available is just "source available" but "open", "free", "libre" mean much more than just source code available. I am not making this up! Just look at the license terms of any open source project of repute.

"Source available" is not enough for me to use a software. If a software license forbids any field of endeavour (including but not limited to commercial activity), it is no longer "open" to me anymore. Sure the source is available but it is not open, it is not free, it is not libre because it discriminates against a field of endeavour.

When I make something open source I really mean "open" and any individual or organization should be able to use my software without any discrimination while agreeing to the terms and conditions set out in the license.

If I really want to forbid commercial activity, then I will choose a "noncommercial" (and thus non-open, non-free, non-libre) license.
It handled via dkms so it's rebuilt automatically everytime you update your kernel. Then it's loaded on boot, no insmod/modprobe needed. I'm not sure what the issue is.
I wholeheartedly agree. It's the one worry I have with a language that I otherwise love.

(Of course the problem is technically hard, or possibly unsolvable, so I don't blame the Rust folks for its existence.)
I recall decades ago picking up a book on J++ as a teenager. I quickly realized the entire point of the language was to sabotage Java. Not to be useful.

Refused to use windows for rest of career after that.
If the software works well but isn’t compliant with laws a lot of companies will have issues with it.

There are a bunch of regulations these days. GDPR is just one of them. A lot of tools are just not compliant.

IT departments have to take those into account. Especially at public companies.

Microsoft does a good job at that and tends to make it easy for the IT departments, too
> But only because distributions want to take control of everything.

This misses entirety of what distributions are. Distribution is a collection of software packages that in tandem create uniform coherent unit. They only want to control what they distribute.

As I have mentioned in another comment, one of the core problems is that we do not understand our dependency trees. If you use version "latest" (or even do not audit your dependency trees not to contain such meta-versions) you consciously relinquish control of dependencies. At this point there is no real difference in power and control between trusting apt and npm not to break anything. Trusting npm (or pip, or whatever) is actually even worse, because they explicitly are just registries without any supervision or soft guarantees.
I heard that the bathhouse directly mirrors establishments that doubled as brothels—specifically in Japanese cultural details that aren't decipherable by an average Westerner or even an average weeaboo. Of course, as a Westerner I have no idea if this is true.

A rewatch is still in the queue, so I haven't yet seen if this revelation affects the experience.
Agreed, and I expect it to set new standards for user expectations. Users are tired of slow and fragile server interactions on every click, or managing connectivity during use.

Facebook Suspension
I need help urgently. I'm writing here as I am desperate to remove the suspension on my Facebook account and Instagram account. I work with my Instagram account and I am currently loosing money on collaborations and sponsorships.

On Sunday 18th September my personal Facebook page was hacked and the hacker started posting content that goes against the Facebook guidelines. I have proof showing that it was not me as the location of the hacker was Indiana, US while I live in Malta, EU. Unfortunately at that time I did not realise that. The hacker managed to log-in and posted content that went against the Facebook regulations resulting to Facebook blocking my personal account and also my Instagram account which is linked to it.

I have been trying to fill form and also fill a form to disagree with the Facebook decision but when I try to log-in to Facebook all I get is a notification that my Facebook is suspended. I keep going round in circles and all support is suggesting is to fill forms that I can not fill with my suspended account.

Can anyone help, maybe anyone that works at Facebook or can get me in touch with someone. I am willing to pay for professional help.

Thanks

USA "unscripted" shows are terrible. The producers think the audience is too dumb to tolerate genuine conversation, and/or they can't find any charismatic people to put on screen.
Kitchen Nightmares is the canonical side-by-side example of how the USA style ruins everything.
You can switch tenants on the fly without having to "log in" again but it essentially restarts most of the app from scratch every time you switch compared to Slack which essentially treats different workspaces like different tabs.

I think philosophically the cause is that MS 365 and Azure AD are very much built on the idea of having isolated tenants with cross-tenant guests being local copies (the documentation for implementing Azure auth for apps explicitly recommends against mixing tenants) and tenant switching was clearly an afterthought. But there's really no reason not to allow having entirely separate copies of Teams for the different tenants just like you can have multiple copies of Edge signed into different accounts.

On the other I would be wholly unsurprised to learn that there are some obscure data sharing violations happening in the Slack client when you are connected to multiple Slack workspaces and Teams avoids them through rigorous isolation.
It's an indie store, the natural successor to the flash game websites of yore. Getting games from there sight unseen is like picking up some games from the bargain bin - a lot of rubbish but the occasional gem.

It doesn't need 'good commercial titles', it needs to be seen as the preferred option for supporting Indies over steam (i.e. if you are presented with the choice, go for itch. If you're already on steam then steam has earned its money).
It may look empty to human eyes but there’s actually a lot going on in “empty space”. Aside from physical objects that are just too small to detect from Earth (small asteroids (some gravitationally bound to the sun, others just passing through), dust, fragments of ancient collisions, gas, isolated molecules, and hydrogen and helium leftover from the formation of the solar system), there is also the ever-blowing solar wind - particles from the sun heading outwards - and a hailstorm of photons emitted from far off sources (other stars and galaxies, nebulae, pulsars, the extreme red-shifted radiation of distant energetic events… and much much more), passing through allowing us to see the rest of the universe. On top of these natural sources of EM radiation, our solar system at least tingles with human-created radio waves. Empty space also vibrates with gravitational waves, which we are only just starting to be able to detect. We theorise that any remaining emptiness might actually be boiling over with the continual creation and destruction of virtual particles. And who knows what’s going on with dark matter?

That’s why they integrate it directly into Windows 11 and force everyone to have/use Trams whether they like it or not. They are already rubbing their hands when they can report their DAU to make it look like people actually like Teams.
> Your narrative is as old as time

So's yours. You're arguing that only might is right and that only greed works. You're simultaneously complaining that the people you're explicitly locking out of your chosen success path don't support you. Show me how you support them and I'll accept some of the rest of your argument.

> and it’s always the same.

Let me correct that for you: previous attempts to systematise broader opportunity have been corrupted by power. The bigger the attempt to make things fair, the further it's been corrupted. Those who don't care about fairness have abused the system for their own ends.

I still live in hope we can develop a system that decouples power from leadership, enables more people to have greater power over their own development, and better rewards collaboration and co-ownership. I acknowledge the failures from the past but I refuse to accept this is the only way life can be.

> So no, you have no idea of life or history.

I'm fairly interested in history and I have _a lot_ of ideas about life.

>Additionally, developers can't be sure of stability in their dependencies. And the app developer is the person who receives the complaints from angry users, not the library developer.

That seems like the main issue to me. Why has it become acceptable for libraries to break backwards compatibility left and right?
Someone should make job board where people can filter out companies that use Teams instead of Slack or Discord.

Shouldn’t we welcome him back? It makes us look bad to have silenced him.
Anticipated anxiety is a big reason why more people are avoiding the news
Clearly because they've done a poor job of integrating and then forcing adoption of the stickers and gif inputs. They should've threatened to call forth a Skypening if the users failed to enthusiastically and relentlessly toss questionable stickers and gifs onto every other line in a work IM. From every colleague. From LoB to shining LoB. Cross-silos and spanning every Org... until the market is fully forcefully penetrated.

One day we'll all make the switch to sticker based conversating, but until they push it feverishly and madly like the world is ending that evolution will be just out of our grasp. They simply halfassedly work to make it actively bad and don't really have the drive to make it truly sinister like they should. Somehow it would drive gains in the share price quarter over quarter like any sufficiently evil dark pattern spec software always does automagically.

Frustratingly Microsoft is just not laser-focused enough on driving the adoption of a campaign to hit those KPI's it seems.

Agree, also forced game updates, you have 30 minutes to play a game but there was an update and the "Play" button is replaced with a "Update" button , it might work if you go in Offline mode this days, I am not 100% sure.

Why are so many libraries and projects given japanese names?
Thanks for the explanation. Do you think humans will find creative ways to make non-usurious interest loans usurious? I am doubting that the line will be as clear as you describe. It sounds good in theory but the reality will be far more complex.

Perhaps the solution to such a complex problem isn’t as simple as a “do this and don’t do that”. Perhaps a complex problem should be looked at more multi-dimensionally.

Like most things, loans can be good and loans can be bad. Context matters. The rule of law is meant to protect people and keep the economy healthy. The law is ever-evolving. Sometimes it comes up short but in a healthy nation it can adapt itself to the times.

Regarding mortgage, most people in the west use their home as their retirement fund. After 10-15 years of ownership, the house is often worth twice as much as their total mortgage. The difference between what the outstanding debt and the value of the asset is called equity, and this can be quite substantial.
