I don't mind smaller sizes. In fact, I prefer them, because I usually eat the entire package regardless of its size.

Of course, I do mind skimpflation, i.e., the reduction in quality.
It's not that different. You'll obviously have to learn about how Rust uses variables and how to do the error handling, but it's not like Rust gives you some freedom in how you do it. It either compiles because you did it right, or it won't compile. It's really strict about it. Of course reading about the differences is important since things like "move" don't exist in Python, but it's great if you have something which is working in Python and start coding a Rust version of it.

What does it even mean to "start from zero" if you've learned so much about programming, be it on using databases or sockets or merging downloaded map tiles.

Read the book? Yes, that should be done.
> He invaded and annexed Ukrainian territory, and setup supposed “breakaway” groups in other parts of Ukrainian territory (established by Russian military and Russia-directed Wagner mercenaries) in direct response to a pro-Russian government being deposed in 2014, and made fairly explicit that he intended to remove and replace the new government with the escalation in 2022.

Why it is wrong when it's Russia, but totally ok when it is the US?

How Zelensky became president? how Ursula listens to whatever they told them to do, and how we miraculously found American/British/Israeli mercenaries fighting in Ukraine?

It's all a one-sided fairy tale

> No, their own (laughable, given the Russian-sponsored Sparta group) statement was that they intended to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine (not Donbas) after characterizing the Ukrainian government as a Nazi regime.

Who to trust? The Guardian isn't a reliable source? Ukraine being a corrupt country was a made up story?
I'm curious, next time I'm charging devices I'll check. Either way they're still not useful for anything beyond accessory charging, they're short and won't carry the power+signal necessary for my laptop (which, sigh, has two kinds of cables because the one Apple provided with their charger won't do Thunderbolt).

If they can’t keep the price low then a lot of consumers will go for cheaper/lower quality goods anyway,

Even for high-end enthusiast items, consumer sensitivity to price is pretty high. Just look at how bitter people have been about the NVidia RTX 4 series GPUs.

I know someone who buys groceries from Target because it’s significantly cheaper than other grocery stores in their area. This seems due to Target still implementing a kind of national pricing. Possible unexciting arbitrage opportunity there, I suppose?
I learnt C, more than 20 years ago, from the book The C Programming Language written by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie, also known as K&R. I read the book almost cover to cover all the way from the preface at the beginning to its three appendices at the end while solving all the exercises that each chapter presented. As someone who knew very little about programming languages back then, this book was formative in my journey of becoming a programmer.

Appendix A (Reference Manual) of the book broadened my outlook on programming languages by providing me a glimpse of what goes into formally specifying a programming language. Section A.12 (Preprocessing) of this appendix specifies trigraph sequences. Quoting from the section:

> Preprocessing itself takes place in several logically successive phases that may, in a particular implementation, be condensed.

> 1. First, trigraph sequences as described in Par.A.12.1 are replaced by their equivalents. Should the operating system environment require it, newline characters are introduced between the lines of the source file.

Then section A.12.1 (Trigraph Sequences) further elaborates trigraph sequences in more detail. Quoting this section below:

> The character set of C source programs is contained within seven-bit ASCII, but is a superset of the ISO 646-1983 Invariant Code Set. In order to enable programs to be represented in the reduced set, all occurrences of the following trigraph sequences are replaced by the corresponding single character. This replacement occurs before any other processing.

??= #
??/ \
??' ^
??( [
??) ]
??! |
??< {
??> }
??- ~

> No other such replacements occur.

> Trigraph sequences are new with the ANSI standard.
Oh you think resort fees are optional? That would make sense. No no, they're tacked onto every bill.

It's funny being able to do mental arithmetic. I instinctively calculate the price per weight of almost every food product I buy, then I have to remind myself that most people don't do that.
The defining feature of Communism is the State owns everything in a classless society. I invite you to consult any reference. The difference is not semantic; it is a completely different system. What you are talking about is not Communism by any definition, including Marx's. You may as well have said 'coprophagia'.

Distributism is a concept - not a system of government - which has been expressed for a long time through agricultural cooperatives, owned jointly by it's member farmers and workers and not 'the People' (ie the State), such as Amul, or the corn growers cooperatives in my native Midwest.

It isn't specifically Catholic, it just happens to be largely Catholic workers who have participated. See the afore-cited Mondragon Corporation, larger even than Amul, or the Argentine factory workers declaring ownership of the factories in which they worked, during their financial crisis a couple of decades ago.
My practical advice: Plan for your future from a blank state of mind.
Reduce all unnecessary expenses, invest into more self-sufficient survival.

The race between semi-pros and professionals is marketing driven, same applies in AI situation, AI will not be as good as the best in the business, but clients/corporations will use the AI argument to lower the reward for professional labor.

This is normal. This is the Surveillance Capitalism. And is the direct result of the lack of ethics behind the tech overlords. They simply don't care. And now their social position of demigods and keepers of "the knowledge" will give them the ultimate power over peoples imagination and thoughts.

So be it. I cannot stop this. And the "adaptation" argument is utter nonsense.
But I can move into the woods and live a simple and happy life.
I can create my own paper and paints from surrounding materials, and I will paint for myself and my friends.

The majority of the next generations will have no problem to be controlled by AI.
Corporations will package this as a "progress" and people will swallow it willingly.

So what? It is a choice, a minority will refuse to live in AI induced comma and will search for human touch, human emotions, human produced reality.
> It's fun stuff to mess with, but one difficulty is that you can't really affect time-domain issues by modifying output frequencies.

PEQ can take you a surprising distance. Many perceivable issues can be substantially reduced by attenuating signal at problematic resonant frequencies. At no point ever (IMO) should PEQ be used to boost the level of any frequency to make it more audible.

FIR filters are where you can fix time-domain issues. The only problem is that, depending on the amount of filtering required, you may add quite a bit of latency to the signal. IIR filters (e.g. for your crossovers and such) are typically much lower latency approach. IIRC FIR filtering will also allow for you to correct for phase issues.

At the end of the day, the room and its treatments are the most important part of the equation. The number of LFE radiators and their positions are probably #2. Everything else you can easily fix in software.
Arizona prints the price on the cans to discourage that. In my experience, that has worked.
The issues are the electoral college, two senators per state regardless of population and gerrymandering. If we truly had “one person one vote”, most of these problems would be solved
Oh ye of much optimism. The resort fees are typically not optional.
Non intuitively (to me at least) this somewhat explains the proliferation of the dollar stores. These stores sell name brand products packaged in small quantities at a relatively low price, but high margin. Making each location much more profitable than the big box stores. Especially since each location typically only has one or two employees on duty most of the time.

C++ has never been a strict superset of C. The most obvious example is the "class" and "new" keywords which can be used as an identifier in C, but not in C++. There's more subtle differences as well, such as character literals having type int in C and char in C++.

Even setting 9/11 aside, Saudi Arabia publicly funds numerous madrasah in other countries which have a, shall we say, Wahhabi-aligned curriculum. Which then provide a steady stream of recruits for the likes of al-Qaida (or, these, days, ISIS). This might be indirect enough to evade responsibility, but the countries where such radicalization eventually translates to violence generally don't consider Saudis "mostly a good actor".
Huh.. that must explain why I've been seeing a lot of brands switching to the term "frozen yogurt" for what is essentially cheap "ice cream" (=> tastes nothing like actual frozen yogurt...).

Another idea is to prohibit mega-websites that comprise thousands of pages with content generated for free by distinct users from (a) using metadata generated from access to those pages or (b) serving advertising on those pages.

Institutional knowledge, and leadership, is indeed critical. The knowledge of a codebase can be re-bootstrapped, and its future can be re-conceived, but actually providing leadership is another story. I think there's one person on the SQLite team besides D. R. Hipp who can provide that leadership, but I'm not sure about business leadership, though who am I to speculate, when I don't really know any of them. All I can say is that from outside looking in, SQLite looks pretty solid, and libSQL seems unfunded.
You’re not kidding. From the earlier discussion:

I agree basically completely, but there’s now a cottage industry of AI Ethics professionals whose real job is to provide a smoke screen for the “cake and eat it too” that the big shops want on this kit: peer review and open source contributions and an academic atmosphere when it suits them, proprietary when it doesn’t. Those folks are a lobby now.

The thing about owning the data sets and the huge TPU/A100 clusters is that the “publish the papers” model strictly serves them: no one can implement their models, they can implement everyone else’s.

Come to think of it, I don’t break them. It’s when I let my kids borrow/take them. Except micro, those connectors just wear out in a year or two.

My kids keep their tablets plugged in while using a lot of the time. I think it’s the stress on the joint from having the cable taut or yanking it around or something.

I did change to making them pay for replacements. That definitely slowed the rate :).

Because you don't know what the final design spec might need to be, under all circumstances. I've got a board design that's used in production that the moment where - depending on configuration - it could blow the device it's connected to up in about three seconds if you set it to full power in normal operation. It's designed to go that high, because it may be running from a very degraded power supply and it may be necessary to "kick" the actuator it controls quite hard with short bursts of full power to unstick it as it wears.
It was up around 250 Bq/m^3 at its peak, and then I cracked open the two basement windows and it has since dropped to around 110 Bq/m^3. In Canada the recommendations are to deal with it ASAP if over 200, and to deal with it within the next 2 years if it is 100-200.

I’ve looked and don’t see any cracks in the slab, but admittedly 1/2 of the basement is carpeted and drywalled and so I don’t have a good view of it.

I use the AirThings View Plus, and note that it has been running for 2.5 months, and I want to see what it settles at as a longer term average.

They claim it is to make it more spreadable. I guess it is just a coincidence that it cuts their cost of ingredients by about 50%, since they only thing they replaced it with was water.
Some product categories seem to have the middle of the market (quality wise) hollow out and disappear, so all you've got left is the low-end crap and high-end pricy versions, with no middle-range left.

One example: try to buy a nice metal or leather band for an Apple Watch. There's the low-end ones, which are 4$ on alibaba re-sold on Amazon for 12$. There's the X00$ Apple-made first party ones, and that's it. Nobody's making a really nice ~45$ leather band without the Apple name (that's obviously not just the cheap alibaba ones with a better marketing site).
I have been a fan for a long time. My phone history: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus4, Nexus5, Nexus 6P, Pixel1, Pixel2XL, Pixel3.

I now use an iPhone. I disagree with many (perhaps most) decisions apple makes in iOS, but I am 100% sure that if I dial 911, it'll get through. Yes, I miss emulators and many other things, but I feel safer knowing that my phone can make that one call that might save a life.
If we deprecated trigraphs and removed that step from the compiler would it speed compilation up much? I’m going to guess maybe by milliseconds?
Interesting! Which city, and is there a writeup with more details?
I get up and do some stretching exercises or just close my eyes and meditate.
By default, GCC ignores trigraphs in C code too.

You have to explicitly pass -std=c17 (or whatever) to get standard-conforming behavior including trigraphs.
I don’t think they will be. This seems to affect a few specific companies who have avoided implementing STIR/SHAKEN.
No more missed connections.

Group chats for festival, artwalk, or hitting the bars on a Friday night. People who are in very close proximity should be able to communicate near seamlessly. Yet 15 years after the release of the iphone there isn’t actually an easy way to do this.

The key is in the user controls and screening. There is more to it but will discuss privately.

Technical solutions exist but have been implemented incorrectly. Like before Instagram there was hipstimatic. Current solutions don’t understand the problem they trying to solve.

Me: Not technical, but have made a few things. For this have done a lot of research, made mockups, got user feedback. Clear path to V1 of product.

How is using good Linux based OSes and self hosted FOSS not "enjoying modern technology".

The systems are very nice honestly, because they give you much more control (e.g. windows vs Linux).
Yes. And since the next rate will be more like 6% (EDIT: divided twice in my original post), anybody expecting 9.62% APY (which has "year" in the name) is likely to be disappointed.

Let's say you buy today and hold for one year. You get 4.81% after 6 months and then like 1.5% for the next 6 months (you lose three months of interest when you sell if you aren't holding for 5 years). And then you have to pay federal taxes. Let's say 22%. On your 10,000 you net... $492. Not anything close to the eye popping 9.62% being touted.
This is such an odd comment. ARPANET and by extension DARPA are embedded in the origin story of the Internet and I'm sure DARPA will continue to fund fringe technologies that emerge to change the way we communicate into the future.

It isn't, in and of itself a reason for suspicion on the level implied, nor would I argue above and beyond baseline healthy suspicion in anything.
You missed my point and are stating the obvious. The problem is that that is a just a tiny tiny tiny fraction of all websites. The vast majority of websites are websites. Which leaves all web devs fighting over the few web app gigs.
> Is a16z still all-in on crypto?

Yes.

> Why?

Because VCs don't actually need their portfolio companies to be successful to create ROI. A16z can essentially pump/dump these companies more easily because they have tokens associated with them.

A good example is Dfinity. It claimed to be some revolutionary way to decentralize web hosting. The claims were vague, and when I looked into it on behalf of a friend, I found that it wasn't technically accomplishing any of the things it claimed.

They pumped tons of money into a big token launch, which functioned as an exit for a16z and the founder of Dfinity.

From my reading, they didn't claim to take either side nor comment on the article in question, but made a meta-comment. Which is okay to do.
The way I see it, input being confined to a "text description" is the next immediate problem that needs to be solved. I don't think we can rely on textual inputs for much longer as the human language is too imprecise and/or verbose. It's hard to imagine what exactly the optimal interface would be, but I'm thinking we'll need ways to dictate attributes for each entity being represented, the backdrop, and the view composition all as separate individual components. Ideally all these components can also be reusable and provide reproducibility guarantees without having to share a global "seed" as well.

This is correct. The difference between US and Canadian milk is Canada's fine filtering and laws against steroid and antibiotics. The reason Canadians resented the forced import of US milk is because of course milk is cheaper when health-impacting shortcuts are taken.
