Have you ever written software before Unicode? We had N different encodings for each language, each culture, each country. There were all kinds of bugs creeping up, and software that works perfectly well could be buggy for one random language. Unicode abstracted all of this away from the programmer in a pretty simple fashion. I simply do not see how we're paying the "complexity tax" by using Unicode, unless you're writing a library that handles Unicode (which you shouldn't do, you should use existing libraries) you don't need to know anything about Unicode.
Fix for iPhone 14 Pro Camera Vibration Issue Coming Next Week
I do feel its indicative that most of the authors issues stem from GitHub, the facebook of foss, big social media for coders. If you don't want to engage with the social trends and aspects of the ecosystem (which is perfectly understandable) then GH seems particularly poor choice of platform to publish your software on. I feel the author would have far better chance of "to be left the hell alone" if they chose literally any other platform.
seems like market is graph, and NN is graph. But the sibling isomorphism proof too big to fit in the margin.

Well, anecdotally, I've had every other iPhone since the original and use it daily and have never had it break or otherwise needed to replace/repair it. People who use terms like "rigors of daily use" typically always mean wanton abuse.
A modern version of Flash is precisely the type of software you would think Apple would have created. They acquired Hypercard after all.

Sad that the best they can do is Swift Playgrounds for iPad; creating what is essentially a JSFiddle/Codepen for apps that can't be deployed without first paying their $99 dev fee toll.

No, tests are not specification, they are examples, specifically on the form "do this, and this happens".

Imagining a specification out of this is like solving those problems of "what is the next number on this sequence: 1 18 31". It's simply can not be done, you can guess something, but you will never know if it's the real answer.
Yeah I gave it a second try this past summer after buying it at launch, playing three hours, then getting frustrated at the crashes and general gameplay. Once I got past the prologue, I think the game really started to get interesting. I sort of had the impression it was a "cyberpunk" GTA before, but the depth of the story as it progressed gradually won me over.
Firefox may work great for many people, but it certainly doesn't for me. I finally gave up completely on it late last year.
> From the photo, that looks like a stock iCE40 FPGA, which does not support hardware attestation of the loaded bitstream.

Which FPGA models support _attestation_ of the loaded bitstream? Do any?

> How does the user verify that the FPGA loaded the expected bitstream instead of something with a backdoor?

It's a Lattice ice40up5k, which contains a programmable and lockable NVCM memory in-package. The engineering samples we handed out today at OSFC store the FPGA configuration bitstream on a SPI flash memory though.

> A DICE chain that is not rooted in physical, immutable hardware isn't very useful.

When we start selling them we'll likely sell both security keys with pre-provisioned bitstreams in NVCM as well as unprovisioned security keys so you can provision your own.
Adobe Flash was rebranded Adobe Animate and does exactly what you are asking about, except the WASM part, I believe.
In what programming language? I find that with dynamic languages comments help but they require to have more discipline about documentation.
If you want a software supply chain that includes formal agreements, use Java or C#, or maybe C++. Those ecosystems have plenty of vendors who will sell you libraries, including phone support and liability.

So far enterprises are the only ones willing to pay for their "software supply chain", if you want this kind of "solution" just use what they use.
In my case, it's not even fear of appearing incompetent. It's fear of being accused of or treated as if I'm incompetent when I'm clearly not. This past couple few decades the average population have become more and more downright vicious, cruel, and absolutely sure of themselves, even when they're utterly wrong about something they say or do, and as that problem grows, I become less able / willing to open myself up to that sort of potential abuse. I've got things rough enough already without that additional stress.

In addition, there's what a previous commenter said about knowing that others also have their own things they're dealing with, and I kinda don't wanna be the guy who adds to that any if I can avoid it (just in case they're not that other type of person I mention here).
Not sure if this app can do stuff like cross multiplication or run the same operations on both calculators.

But this app reminded of something similar.

There is an old school double mechanical pinwheel calculator:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnlzKCFP0sU

It was probably mostly used for coordinate calculations.

I own one of those brunsvigas (the single stage one) and it is fascinating what these things can do.

A mechanical calculator with enough didits can solve cross multiplication rather easily.
It's the result of the 2 party system. From 1860 to 1932 the liberals and the conservatives belonged to one political party, as is common elsewhere. After 1932, racial issues, and civil rights issues, brought the liberals together with the labor unions, and since then the "liberals" have been seen as belonging to the left.

However, during the 1800s and early 1900s, the word "conservative" continued to hold its monarchist overtones, and therefore it was rejected by all American politicians, regardless of their party. The first presidential candidate to describe himself as a "conservative" was Barry Goldwater in 1964.
I use them as keychains. I still think lanyard make bette rkeychains than keychains, since it makes it more visible but still relatively portable.
The world is full of small stories and big - from environmental storytelling to chunks of short gigs each showing a slice of the world and people in it.

It's kind wierd to skip the part that this game is best at (just like Witcher 3 was).

Maybe they want to share this sort of thing, so they can practice not changing behavior while they're watched.
A secondary concern is resale value. Repairability isn't even that. To put it one way, even if you could repair an iPhone with legos, I think it'd sway few to zero buyers from an alternative.

I've always wanted a browser extension (or similar) that opens a small 10x10 spreadsheet so I can quickly do some calculations.

> I hope CD Projekt make a sequel where they take the time to really flesh out the world.

Sounds more like they should go back to making more expansions (they had planned three, it's been cut down to only one) to really flesh out this game, rather than dumping it and starting from scratch. Seems like a waste otherwise.
I am a Crumb fan and enjoyed this piece, although I guess I'm not surprised at some of his world views. The 1994 movie "Crumb" referenced in this article is really, really interesting. Fun fact: I've been through Winters, California many times on the way to Napa and had no idea he used to live there.
Textual inversion is teaching it a new concept, such as "Ugly Sonic", from a couple images. Then you get a file you can use in SD to use this new concept in prompts.
It greatly restricts how effective ad blockers can be.
Adobe Animate is Adobe Flash and it exports to HTML5 and so on. you can even export to .swf files if you want.
This is probably a good way to think about it, but it's not a straight scale of 0% good and 100% bad. There's a goldilocks zone in there, things above that are bad for instability, and things below are bad for lack of caution.

The rise is a correction that rates have been artificially low for 5-10 years, because the massive growth with no real risk assessment was addictive. If Fed rates get around 5% or more and they are still hinting at increases that's probably a bad sign for the long term. Short term instability already is happening.
The concept of personal behavior being contingent on society providing free access to healthcare seems so bizarre. Up until a few generations ago there was hardly any healthcare, and what healthcare did exist often did more harm than good.

I do support expanding access to basic healthcare (including mental health services) but I think that would have only a minor impact on the problem. There's something else going wrong.

I loved cyberpunk so much, but I did wish the launch wasn't so bad. The game really is a great game and all you can see online is "it was bad. it is bad.".

Mostly because of the incredible, and plausible, features they promised but didn't deliver and the fact that some things in the game are still in many ways broken. A few versions ago perks that sped up your reload speed did literally the opposite which was surprising to say the least.

But to me there exists nothing that holds a candle to its cyberpunk world. Both the general vibe and execution in-spite of it's well known flaws.
The issue isn't his belief. It's that he's throwing a tantrum and has ruined two Chess tournaments (so far). He's free to believe whatever he likes, but to resign in a match in a tournament is not fair to all the other players.
Professional animators are artists. They need professional animation tools, like flash, to work with, not svg/webgl/unity that a programmer would be more comfortable with. They need things like a timeline, character library, animation pallet, built in tweening tools, etc.

Yes, I only use American spyware social media and hardware. Like my Android phone with gboard keylogger sending everything I type to Google.
Maybe so. But it doesn’t help most of the rest of the world.
> I'm really happy to see this. As fumbled as the launch was, I played it on PC and found the world and its characters to have more depth than I'd personally experienced in a video game before.

I think it pales in comparison to many other games. Including The Witcher 3, another CD Projekt RED creation.

However, I also agree that it got unnecessary hate. Sure, it was a bad decision to launch it on the previous console generation. There were some bugs, but I haven't encountered any show stopping bugs when playing on day 1 _on Linux_ even!
Does this make the building material much more flammable?
>The goal is to not suck.

But "suck" is some subjective thing, you will find a giant number of GNOME fans that will tell you how great GNOME is, how intuitive it is, and how you just need to give up your own preferences and embrace their UX guru ideas and it will not suck.

It seems that many people are in the "I don't want to think for myself camp" . unfortunately people in my family are also in that camp, never question if maybe there is a way to customize things to make the software more comfortable, they bend their body and minds, causing even distress to follow the defaults.

Something that obviously suck for us is normal for a GNOME user, in GNOME land there is only 1 way of working and if you don't like it you are asked to move on. many tried but you can't change those guys minds this is why there are tons of GNOME forks and probably no KDE fork.
Escher's "Relativity" in Lego

It is a little loosey-goosey, but I understand* there's now 2 timelines, which I'm going to come up with some arbitrary labels for:

- 1, 2, Return <- "Gilbert Canon" or, "OVA"

- 1, 2, Curse, Escape, Tales <- "Extended Canon", "Guybrush Universe", "Guybrush Muyou"

A little bit of Curse is going into Return, which is the loosey goosey part**. Memorable characters/gags, and less the events of Curse.

* Full disclosure, I haven't played Tales, or Return yet.

* *Well, also PC gaming is a thing in the MI universe, and pirates are shilling LOOM in the SCUMM bar.

It's interesting, I think this is pure opinion. I personally find sandbox games boring and have never put more than an hour or two into one. I feel like there's "nothing to do". This is obviously silly, the point is that there's so much to do, but I think the lack of structure means I have no goals and whenever I try to come up with my own they're often not conducive to fun gameplay. However, when I play a story driven game, or even when I play a sandbox game with good _direction_ (Satisfactory comes to mind), someone else has curated that goal for me in a way that encourages fun gameplay.

This is not to downplay or invalidate the fun you get from sandbox games, they're clearly a very popular genre. I think they just appeal to a different sort of person.

It's nice in a way that GTA has both.
Why would anyone expect a primarily multiplayer game from a studio that built exclusively open world singleplayer RPGs?

I like how there's a degree of "too old to cancel" and R. Crumb is in there. I don't think people who bring up how messed up a dude he is can get much social currency from cancelling him, so he just kinda persists.

Unless those bakeries can deliver baked goods at similar cost to bakeries using modern energy sources, the problem still stands of the populace having a downward shift in consumption and expectations of their quality of life , which typically has political ramifications.
When I first read this line, I misread it as:

> Your mind is having ideas, it's just not holding them.

which is still quite accurate, especially given the theme of the article. Augmenting your memory is important, especially since age can make memorization harder, and even impossible.
> Mine is organized in such a way data can be found easily and categorized.

I do not know what this means.

It's very easy to find compounds in PubChem or ChemSpider.

I didn't see how to find, say, 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine in your system.

As far as I can tell, it requires using the no-cost version of ChemDraw to convert the name into a structure and then ... do what?

> My lists are abstracted from expertise who and what resource so folk can trace easily.

How is this different than what ChemSpider does? They also offer "Manual comment and correction tools offer crowdsourced curation with expert review" and "You are invited to help build this community for chemists by contributing your structures, spectra, or syntheses. You can also actively participate in the curation of the data; registration enables you to become a depositor or curator." (quoting https://www.chemspider.com/AboutUs.aspx ).

Is the main difference that you organize things by lists?

In that case, couldn't you save a lot of effort by being an overlay into ChemSpider? Let them handle the chemical entry, name validation, property prediction, and so on.

> I also wrote a lot of tooling for analysis and other things you can use to analyze the data yourself to get an idea of the functional groups and diversity.

I didn't see any of that tooling from your site.

What is your measure of "diversity"?

Could you elaborate on your internal naming scheme for compounds? For example, https://github.com/Sulstice/global-chem/blob/ec4a5cb28a6360c... has:

'haloalkane': 'CBr',

That should be bromomethane, yes? "Halo" is any halogen, and "alkane" is any alkane, so "haloalkane" should refer to a class of compound, yes?

And a few lines down,

'nitrile': 'N#CC',

Here again, "nitrile" is a class of compounds - the specific compound is acetonitrile.

Picking another data set, https://github.com/Sulstice/global-chem/blob/ec4a5cb28a6360c... has:

'detla-9 tetrahvdrocannabinolic acid c':
'CCCCC1=CC2=C(C3C=C(CCC3C(O2)(C)C)C)C(=C1C(=O)O)O',

That should almost certainly be "delta" and "hydro", yes?

And line 427 of that file has:

'zanthophylls': 'CC1=C(C(CC(C1)O)(C)C) ...

when I think that's 1) supposed to be "xanthophyll", which 2) is a class of compounds, and 3) PubChem tells me the compound is "beta,epsilon-Carotene-3,3'-diol, (3R,3'R,6'R)-", see https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/181579 .

Also, it appears "constituents_of_cannabis_sativa" is a subset of what's available from https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/3483#section=Natur...
Ooh, being picky about grammar is fun!

The absolute positioning of the adverb doesn't bother me, but I do read it as being bound to "say" rather than "lose" which is what I assume you meant.
But they will always prefer a banana.
The fact that the game is pretty great helps as well.
An opinionated guide to making friends
To be honest I was so amazed by the feel of the world that I completed the mainquest (and all side quests) by either walking or driving there. I rarely used any form of waypoint to skip the inbetween.

I think the architecture, the roads and the districts are very well designed. I think the quests take you to interesting no places and show interesting perspectives on life in sich a city.

What the game lacks to some degree are more emerging observable things with the NPCs moving throughout the city. There should be more things happening. Be it quarreling couples in 100 variations, a car crash that is being locked down by police or emergent behavior between police, gangs, emergency services, hookers, onlookers. Create situations that emerge from the systems of the city.
It is often also useful not only to document the decision the team arrives at, but also briefly write down what was decided not to implement and why. This is very helpful when people come in a few weeks later with a "new" idea that has already been discussed, or in onboarding new people to the project.

Proving the Obvious
interesting points xie is making: 1) it's not a supply chain bc no money is changing hands, 2) therefore no contracts or enforcement, 3) many market participants are hobbyists

I think this speaks to the fundamental weirdness of the information economy -- it's highly deflationary, with some extreme cases where hobbyists outperform paid software companies

Hobbyists + open groups beat companies in cases where IP concerns makes the software worse, like if they're making something a saas that should be a 100-line library. And also in cases where everyone in industry needs a thing and they're happy to have a great standard free one rather than paying three shitty vendors.

I don't know this, but I think a chunk of major OSS projects are maintained by people at big companies or universities. (Postgres may have been associated with fujitsu for a while, guido van rossum + linus torvalds parked in various companies, some fraction of kube committers are at bigcos or corporate-backed CNCF). I have nadia eghbal's 'building in public' on my list to read, guessing she knows the answer to this question.
"I just want to publish software that I think is neat so that other hobbyists can use and learn from it, and I otherwise want to be left the hell alone. I should be allowed to decide if something I wrote is “done”. The focus on securing the “software supply chain” has made it even more likely that releasing software for others to use will just mean more work for me that I don’t benefit from. I reject the idea that a concept so tenuous can be secured in the first place."

K. The rest of us are gonna keep using the phrase though.
US citizen here - I believe that "we" is not possible, due to structural associations, misaligned incentives and tension between social forces. "We" America is not one thing.. the dollar and the vote and Bill of Rights are unifying, but not completely.
