Yes, it's increasingly easier. The ratio of (people consuming) / (people producing) has been growing massively. However, it's impossible for (people producing) to reach zero. And, unless (people producing) = 0, there will always be a cost to the goods produced, and (people consuming) has to pay that.
I switched from being a C++ developer to Java a while back and the lack of const (i.e. immutability) annoys me.

It annoys me even more than no-one seems to care about it much, and most think final is good enough - you can still mutate final objects. In C++ all references are final (in a Java sense) since they can't be reseated, but const actually gets you immutability (modulo const_cast).

I just want everything to be immutable unless mutability is really truly needed!
To specify: Aborted due to pain in my right hand while scrolling. I did get a CT scan of that hand due to a sporting accident, though, and it got better a few weeks later.

Also, my OS usually allows me to change line skips per mouse wheel increment to three quarters of a page. That does not seem to work here.

Agreed, my other mouse is free-scrolling, it would be fun to scroll huge distances (IN SPACE!) there.

I initially found none of the helpers that scroll somewhere, but thanks for all the tips here and in other replies.
Assessing the Quantum-Computing Landscape
I don't think it was just a press release, the linked PDF had a nice overview of how we got here and some advances in the last decade. Decent little review type article with some hyperbole!

I think the title maybe a little too optimistic / vague by saying it's "near" without indicating what else is needed to get there / when it might happen ;).
Not a designer, but curious. Just comment a link.
> Not all Android TV devices support all the streaming services. Mine works fine with Disney+, Amazon, and Apple TV+, but Netflix won't support the device for some reason.

That must be... an extremely niche device. With some considerable knowledge of the space, I cannot think of an Android TV device that supports Apple TV but not Netflix ever.
Unless I misread I consider this statement not true or contradictory:

it has all the information the server needs except the signing keys, so the server doesn't need to store this information server-side. This means that users can get a token from your authorization server and use it in another without those servers needing to consult a central service.

In order to not have to care about rotating keys, a typical Resource Server would fetch the public key from the SSO server. Not necessarily in real-time, but at least on a frequent periodic basis. It even says "except the signing key", which is half true, since the public key needs to be well.. public and available.

Now this may be nitpicking but it comes with an important implication: Your jwt validating party needs to have network access to the SSO service (unless you want to provide keys for token verification yourself, which I do not recommend), which is not always a given, especially in hybrid setups (On-Prem + Cloud).
This article skips over the elephant in the room, via a couple of casual references to “performance”.

You did some experiments with HE in 2019 and it involves orders of magnitude slowdown — thousands of times slower than regular computation. I don’t see this speeding up either.
How to encrypt a string in less than 5 minutes
The November 2020 M1 machines are nearly getting to daily usability in Linux. Support for screen brightness adjustment, the webcam, speakers and mic are the remaining things for day to day use for me. All look like they should be working in 6 months-1 year.

It's a bit of a shame that the RAM is so limited on all those platforms - I can't imagine it being enough to load many electron apps in a few years time.
Have you been diagnosed with ADHD? Caffeine has a similar affect on one of my children who does have ADHD. Not that we're giving him espressos at midnight, but during the day a caffeinated beverage will slow him down similar to a small booster dose of adhd medication.
That feels like to opposite, though. Electron brought the browser to offline/"native" apps. It literally packaged webkit in a way for web tech to be used as a desktop app, whilst Qt in the browser (and Shockwave, Java Applets, ActiveX et al) were bringing the desktop to the browser.

> If it is just in terms of what he gets from youtube and not advertising then it is easier to imagine.

Well this is an odd way to measure profitable. What’s the benefit to this method?

Imagine if Google said “we lose money on every search run. Unless you count the advertising, then we make billions. But we lose money on most of our activities.”

This just seems naively stupid. Because “most videos” is a dumb metric. Imagine if your VC answered the question “Are you rich from your fund?” with “Well we lost money on most of our investments.”

This is either a dodge or just a lucky fool. Mr Beast doesn’t seem like an imbecile so I assume he’s just trying to be humble or deflective.

Just from doing the YouTube napkin math if you saw his balance sheet he would have hundreds of millions.

Because trust me, the world would know if he donated to charity.

You absolutely can. TLA+ is basically a state transition system. Something you can write in Dafny and prove correct using its Refinement types. And the end result is running software you can drop right into production.
In the beginning, Google also had very few ads...
The problem with WebOS and any other smart TV platform that is not Apple or Roku is that new streaming services either get ported late or not at all to it.
Not sure how this is relevant - I didn't say anything about tuning language to restrict thought or avoid anti-government sentiment...
Send to Kindle is a very convenient way to push ebooks to a Kindle device (though it needs network access of course). It's supposed to support EPUB too, unless it already does.

I never had issues side-loading EPUBs to a Kindle with Calibre (the de-facto ebook management application standard), so I don't think that's a problem.
I discovered mynoise.net some years ago. As I lived near a church where the bells would be active every 15 minutes... It really helped to not listen to them.

The downside: the alarm clock was also less audible in the morning! :D

Yeah I don't think anyone would really choose to write a new web app with Qt. I assume the target market is people that want to port their existing Qt code to the web. It could also be useful for demoing Qt apps.
>If SF built some new high-rises and offered every homeless person a condo free of charge that they will personally own after some amount of occupancy you'd pretty much solve homelessness and put a significant dent in mental health issues overnight.

And if that does not happen you can always say that some strings were attached after all: the requirement to pay utility bills, the requirement to dispose of trash, the requirement not to have open fire and/or chemical labs inside, the requirement not to assault neighbors and passersby etc. etc. After all there are always some "strings" required to live in the society and even more of those when you require that the society provides you with everything you need for nothing in return.

It is kind of crazy, but people like it.

The Kardasians tv show gets bizarre (to me) views as well. People find it engaging.

That’s ok, people can like their thing. But that doesn’t make it bullshit. Lots of people read The Secret and like it. It doesn’t stop the book from being absolute poppycock.
What's the alternative? Cutting and pasting instead of using masters in Figma, or repeating styles everywhere rather than using variables in your CSS? The results either way are inconsistent UI everywhere.

Yes you should have consistent design. That doesn't mean you can't change your design, it just means you make that button change in one place rather than 94.
While some people were too busy cheering the death of plugins, they were being bought back to life thanks to the rejuvenating powers of WebAssembly and WebGL.

> …pattern we've often seen to mitigate some of the issues of JWTs is to store them serverside, in a session.

…

> The main reason why JWTs work so well is their statelessness.

You realise this is obviously a very weak argument for using them? Stateless in a way that is apparently not useful for most people. Great.

I’ve never seen a serious JWT implementation that didn’t use a database to manage lockout and other state related things that inevitably turn up as product requirements.

Once you do, you now have a stupid pointlessly complicated session implementation that potentially leaks sensitive information.

That’s the whole point of the article.

If you you need jwt for “other services” issue jwts for them when they become a requirement.
You mean the company that abandons software quickly? That’s the last thing I would want on my TV. At least Roku has a history of supporting its hardware.
> Also, The British Museum is one of the greatest places on earth.

I second that opinion, but suggest that the museum's deserved popularity - especially with tourists - can often limit enjoyment of the environment, mostly because of queues and crowds.

For those who truly enjoy the BM, as a living, evolving resource and venue to be visited regularly, I'd suggest considering membership. It's £69 a year, and grants free access to otherwise paid exhibitions/events. It also grants attendance to members-only events outside usual museum hours. There's something really special about wandering the galleries during advent, with no crowds, and listening to live music (quartets, groups of singers etc) while drinking mulled wine and eating mince pies. Attending lectures, too, in which archaelologists and others discuss their digs and finds, is tremendously engaging. There's also a members' room in which to rest up.

For those with children, Young Friends membership for eight- to 15-year-olds is worth considering; I've paid for quite a few kids, and renewed year after year because they got so much out of the activities/experiences. The museum hosts Young Friends sleep-overs - some in the Egyptian section with the mummies.

I am still amazed by the amount of people that still mix security and encryption in-use with privacy. And truth is the whole privacy/security industry is doing nothing to change that.

Take this for example

"Valuable insights through AI (artificial intelligence), big data, and analytics can be extracted from data—even from multiple and different sources—all without exposing the data, secret decryption keys, or, if need be, the underlying evaluation code."

FHE gives you NO guarantee about the code that is running on the encrypted data. I can run a leaky AI model or a SELECT * on encrypted data and still get the output. What I can do (and that's assuming there is open-sourced, auditable code) is to make sure that anyone with hypervisor access on that machine cannot dump my data out during processing.

A very powerful concept for remote processing, supply chain security, and overall reducing trust; but completely unrelated to privacy.

I’ve found there to be a distinct taste to Nespresso and go some way to avoid it (literally in some cases, it’s in cafes all over Europe). I’m not sure if it’s the coffee container or the high pressure and bean combo but it’s taste is not something I’d ever aim for.

I strongly believe that the Nespresso was designed to solve/create a problem to fit their business model.

In this order: Proprietary, good margin, small foot print (pods and extraction unit), easy to use, disposable.

I suspect the majority of these recorded transactions are completely banal. This doesn't give them a free pass. If you really want to communicate about something dodgy, you just do it verbally and hope some random underlying doesn't incriminate themselves.

I've been on the receiving end of compliance rules around various communications (for example being forbidden from ever writing "ISO" because it's a heavily regulated but also exceptionally important order type) that did nothing to protect markets, other participants, or the firm I was working at.

My experience with various financial regulators was that they were far more interested in finding ways to slap someone with some random rule violation as opposed to meaningfully trying to protect consumers/markets, so if the most the SEC can come up is that there were record keeping violations I wouldn't read too much into it.

Do you have examples of the dev experience degrading? My experiences is that the tools and libraries only continue to mature (as does the Clojure language itself).

Do you just mean that things are improving less quickly than they are for, e.g., Typescript?
It would kind of make sense for people who just don't want to show their face even if they don't want to be particularly vtuber-y

I was wondering if this would be more common as the technology developed but it seems like it hasn't and instead there are specific ideas about what vtubers are supposed to be that have become entrenched.

There are some people like Hikalium who are using vtuber avatars for live programming videos but not particularly doing a character though

The code is a horrifyingly awful bit of C++ and the whole thing is horrendously inefficient (rpi heating the room up doing arithmetic). I wouldn't want to publish it in its current form, and the next thing will be an analogue circuit. I might blog about that, though.
Investment is not the same as sacrifice. Sacrifice means to destroy something for the sake of something else. When you say we should sacrifice the prosperity of a few for the good of the many (paraphrasing, this is what I interpreted your original comment to mean) then that implies we permanently reduce the prosperity of some group of people. Spending money to build more nuclear power plants is instead a productive use of that time/effort/money that will return on that investment if not with dividends from the sale of the power then with increased productivity and economic output made possible by a larger energy supply.

We know that nuclear power works, it's capable of producing massive amounts of electricity and powering whole countries anywhere we are able to build plants, output doesn't vary based on forces that are outside of our control, uranium is abundant and there are hundreds of years of estimated reserves in the ground. That is a plain and simple case for it to be a bridge to a future where we can produce excess and uninterrupted power using solar, preferably space based arrays that don't use up land, won't be affected by weather and produce power at night. Even better, it might be a bridge to fusion power, having more nuclear physicists and technicians around would surely speed up progress.

I'm averse to reducing prosperity for anyone because it has a very non-zero chance of us never recovering to a position where we can continue to increase prosperity for all. Put plainly, creating energy poverty in the West has a good chance of knocking us into a dark age where little to no progress is made and even regression may happen which, to your concern, would increase CO2 output and worsen climatic effects.
Ahh about this. I recently found a very good Twitter thread about choosing a color for a non-designer. Sadly, I think I didn't save the thread and now I cannot find it.

> I have no idea how you actually come up with a reasonable solution for this since communism/socialism clearly failed.

You could simply give people more than just some drips that keep them on the edge of desperation. Whether or not you consider that socialism, it has been quite successful in a lot of countries. The failure of a totalitarian dictatorship in no way implies that excessive wealth inequality is the only alternative.

It's wild, apparently at the latest Peer Review conference a lot of the focus was on paper mills. I'm so curious what goes into identifying these -- e.g. if it's a technical or a social process -- and so on. I know for example a lot of it is by reviewing comments from peer reviews (which unfortunately aren't always public / open) [1].

Certainly some of the co-authors were unaware (?), but will be affected. Totally crappy situation.
