do you know what clickbait is?

the title of this article is not clickbait. not any kind that is manipulative, anyway.

it is a headline designed to get you to read an article, yes, and in that way most headlines are "bait" for someone, but clickbait headlines specifically use manipulative techniques to both avoid telling the nature of the article at all, and still prey on a reader's curiosity, both of which encourage the reader to load the article page, often to see that the article itself isn't something the reader cares about. clickbait headlines and articles are both designed solely to create revenue from advertisement impressions.

this article headline is accurate and complete, and the article is exactly what the headline said it would be.

so, not clickbait at all. not even close.
Done lol! Works as expected.

Object Lessons.

In his first public appearance after revealing he had surgery to remove a tumor from his pancreas in 2004, Jobs met with a handful of reporters at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, Calif. to unveil a new 750-square-foot "mini" store design. Half the size of the typical Apple retail stores of the time, the mini design featured an all-white ceiling, lit from behind; Japanese-made stainless-steel walls, with holes around the top for ventilation that mimicked the design of the PowerMac G5; and a shiny, seamless white floor made with "material used in aircraft hangars," Jobs said at the time.

Before the gigantic curtain draped across the storefront came down, though, Jobs was having a meltdown, refusing in the minutes before the unveiling to step outside and greet reporters. Why? Because the store design that looked so great on paper didn't stand up to real-world use. The walls showed off every handprint and the floors were marred by black scuff marks from the handful of people readying the store for the big reveal.

Jobs was ultimately convinced to step outside, and the curtain was drawn before the small gathering of reporters. When I saw the floor, I immediately turned to Jobs, standing next to me, and asked if he had been involved in every aspect of the design. He said yes. "It was obvious that whoever designed the store had never cleaned a floor in their life," I told him. He narrowed his eyes at me and stepped inside.

A few months later an Apple executive told me that Jobs had all of the designers return to the store after it opened on Saturday, and spend the night on their hands and knees cleaning the white surface. After that, Apple switched the floors to the stone tiles now prevalent in its designs.
Yes, you have to take the bar.
This is pretty cool! I can search for emojis on my phone keyboard but it's limited, I'd love for this to be implemented in Android.
So. Before you take on mental health issues. Over something so trivial as writing a compiler and instruction sets.

Get a Costco‘s membership.

1. Eat healthy

2. Go outside

3. Don’t go around trains.

4. Call a family member.

5. Go walk around Costco’s and get the samples of items.

6. Go to the YMCA and volunteer sometime.

Good luck.
I noticed that when i use my macbook keyboard I don’t curve my wrists and instead my hand is just on the keyboard at an angle (wrist straight). I’m also a smaller person so I’m wondering are split keyboards necessary for everyone?

I didn't down-vote you, but your argument has holes.

Yes, people elect the govt, but they don't get to oversee every decision. So most people simply vote along part lines, because when you have a choice of 2, party affiliation is the only criteria that matters. And those people are only on the ballot in the first place because they are overwhelmingly party loyal.

So then fundamentally media funding would be based on viewer numbers, not quality. I'm not sure that incentivising a pure head-count would lead to better quality. Facebook has fantastic viewer numbers, but is tgst the standard of journalism we aspire to?

A better argument _against_ govt funding is that the media is there to hold power to account, which would seem to be impossible for the media to do if power was paying the bills.
Do you mean to suggest that the potential problems around E/P cores I pointed out occur in practice? I'm just theorizing here, so not sure if these are even valid concerns.
Varjo Aero and Quest Pro both have this.
If the incentives are aligned it doesn’t matter whether people have integrity. They do what they need to do to win and winning is the the thing we want them to do. That’s the whole point. I don’t think hedge funds are bastions of integrity but their incentives are fully lined up. If you make a lot of money for your clients you get a lot of money.

I experienced it maybe a couple of months ago. Then it went away. Since so many use gmail, it's only logical for the spammers to focus on playing gmail filters and one obvious factor would be using a gmail address as the source.
Yes indeed that was what I was thinking about, that type of case. Literally itch through your skull in the right circumstances and it sure isn't will power.
Generally, with cloud, you still need people with required skills. Engineers who write Terraform ("DevOps") aren't cheap. They certainly cost more than the old-school sysadmin who will set up a bare metal server with shell scripts.
Hmm, my memory tells me there was just a web page you could visit to watch them, plus links if you wanted to watch in an external media player. Post-conference you can look through the schedule to watch individual talks.
It's the absurdity of a near-certain mythical creature needing something as mundane and trivial as a paltry sum of money, in particular the fifty cents. It's pre-calculated and specific, like that is how much a burrito costs down at the gas station it goes to.

Plus, it's rather persistent about it. Then you think, well, even if the Loch Ness monster were real, and it somehow understood and needed money, that would be a tall order, so here is this anachronistic marvel reduced to begging, just so it could get that gas station burrito.
My favourite theory (other than the mundane and vastly more likely stuff) is some lab during WWII produced some extremely high field room temperature superconductor. The US got hold of it afterward and made a bunch of toys, but noone knows how to manifacture more and most of it has been destroyed now.
Asking for state actor sums of money makes it much more likely it's tossed out. A 1/1000th of this sum would be astronomical as future income loss and hurt, by insurance company pay out standards. It's typically measured in millions not billions.

I understand this is punitive/retributive but like life sentences for 300+ years it rapidly becomes performative.

The arithmetic behind 500 million repeat offences at $5k per offence has a very good headline value, but not much else. At this scale, lawsuits for bloggers worldwide all leap three to four orders of magnitude. The lawyers fees alone would exceed several US states incomes. The tax return back to the federal government from the lawyers would be impressive.

Jones is a scumbag, no disagree. This is theatricals.
Elections have always been about misinformation. This is why most people consider politicians liars. They speak out of both sides of their mouth, constantly and rarely fulfill their campaign promises.

Apparently misinformation "on an iphone" is some new evil of the world to justify mass censorship. It's the same lies the FCC used to transform the right of freedom of speech to freedom to listen to those the FCC grants license too. The problem is on the internet the FCC doesn't grant license. Now we need a new method to so only approved speakers are heard.

We can't dare trust the people with the power of democracy to sort out truth from falsehoods. It's really code for, those in power are seeing their power base erode so they must silence anything in opposition. It's not that there's misinformation in ads there always has been. Politicians spread misinformation everyday. It's that they have no effective silencing mechanism from who they consider outsiders. They don't like the moronic masses interrupting their "gentleman's game" of lying to keep control.

Is this really true in this day and age?
This YouTuber reminds me of another who is linked here frequently — Sabine Hossenfelder. Why is that? They both seem to work with a high degree of independence from their mainstream fields? They are both very intelligent and talented while also having few official credentials to verify their credibility?

I don’t mean to impugn either YouTuber, but I’ve been burned too many times by equating “wow this is cool material” with “this is correct”. I’m almost ashamed to admit that my desire to root for the underdog biases me in their favour precisely because they are outspoken, with disastrous outcomes. Well known examples of this which I’ve seen — although much more serious than arrows and stars! — include Andrew Wakefield (MMR maverick, much lauded as a “whistleblower”, later shown to be a hoaxer) and David Irving (maverick second world war historian, much lauded, later shown to be an anti-Semitic white supremacist.)

The keyhole stuff is objectively cool but how do I know the historical takes aren’t just “fake news” for nerds?
I had a friend who had a really bad home life. His mom was abusive and mentally unstable. He moved out at 15, and "child labor" was why he could rent and eat.

Nonetheless it should by far, exceedingly, not be the norm.

I myself had a job in my school at ~15 myself, it was nbd and I was happy for some spending money that my mom couldn't provide.
Yes, I'd call it a site as well, not an app, my mistake.

Ironically it's even easier to host an iframe than an image. I didn't want to really sit there and grab screenshots of every site, plus iframes are interactive which is interesting given that many of these sites use a lot of animations, for better or worse. I also don't have to do any upkeep really, as long as the site is live it will continue to be updated in the iframe since it's accessing the actual site. The only thing I had to do extra was download the site contents for a few of the sites, which block iframe hosting, but it's far fewer than getting screenshots for all of them.

I even thought more deeply about the screenshot approach, going so far as to look into using Puppeteer or Playwright, but I decided against it because that's even more work than doing <iframe src="site.com"/>.

I used Next.js because that's what I know, someone else on Reddit I believe asked if I could do the same in 12 hours with WordPress (or raw HTML, CSS and some scripts as you mention), which yes is possible but I don't know WordPress so I'd have to learn its quirks. The HTML/CSS/scripts version doesn't seem much easier, since that's basically what I'm doing in the React side as well, for-looping through the contents of a JSON file which Next.js handles generating HTML for automatically.

By what mechanism do you believe this information "propagates" to other mail operators?
The US should use the current market decline to split up Google. Splitting it up would allow for more competition and overall improve the tech sector.

Ideally you'd see the government force a split up Youtube, Cloud, Search, and their Ad Exchange into separate companies.

Defense contractors don’t buy ad space in regular media outlets. In Aviation Week and maybe Foreign Policy and some trade
journals, sure. When was the last time you saw an ad for an F-35 on nytimes.com? Why would they advertise defense systems there?

Anyway I actually agree that traditional media fails to put the truth first. But the reasons are way more complicated than your post indicates. Raytheon is not buying ads in the Condé Nast magazines, the WSJ, CNN etc.

There are a number of reasons these media orgs fail the truth. Certainly money is part of it. But I think the biggest single reason is how they source their stories. It is rooted in history and inertia and laziness and a certain awe of power. They are very comfortable talking to institutions and way less comfortable dealing with individual actors. Workers, dissidents, whistleblowers, the disgruntled, call them what you will. Finding a real human experience is so much harder than being spoon fed by people paid to make you swallow easy truths.

I mean, it’s 1000x easier now than it was 25 years ago. But learning how to listen to and vet that information is still hard, and digging on it is hard, and it’s all incredibly risky. No one ever got fired for printing an Apple statement. No one ever got dragged on Twitter because their corporate PR source got exposed and arrested.
Is it known that domain registrars are better than GMail in this regard? Not asking sarcastically, but I had my domain taken over by registrar(not released to public, just registrar took control of it) after few week of notice when auto renew failed to charge my credit card, and my credit card was working fine elsewhere. Also many registrar like Namecheap cancelled subscription for Russian customers during this invasion. Not to mention incidents like [0]

This reminds me of some of the systems that Thad Starner and Steve Mann came up with at MIT Media Lab in the early days of wearables. Audio first was attractive because the displays were bulky, expensive, and lo-res.
I don't want to dump on someone's project, because we need new projects, and who knows what this will turn into, but...

I too am wondering "why would I use this and not SQLite?" or Firebird.

There may well be reasons, but I couldn't find them on the project front page. For all new projects, in situations like this, breaking into a very mature market, I would recommend that some sort of reason is posted on the front page.

This is where I'd love for the combining characters to work on ALL emoji (dunno how so I'll just say AI) - so you could combine "Woman Feeding Baby" and "Skull" and get a skeleton woman feeding a baby (or something).

> Which will reduce solar competitiveness to nuclear, since solar have 4x the CO2 per kwh of nuclear electricity

This is incredibly disingenuous. Current gen PV produces less CO2 than nuclear, and even a $1/kg a CO2 tax would only add a fraction of a cent per kWh to either.

The origin of SARS-CoV-2 is kind of irrelevant, since both proposed origins could cause future pandemics and so we need to prepare for both kinds. Bump up all animal virus research to BSL4 and mitigate/reduce interaction between humans and wild animal populations.
Bone chilling. My family was terrorized by Comanche raids to the point that their fates are documented in history books. Even Amerindians have nothing positive to say about them.
This is why I sold my HHKB and got a Realforce TKL. At least I can work on my laptop without bringing an extra keyboard along. (Also, to me, the uniform 55g Topres feel better than the 45g of the HHKB).
I started my career as an ops guy supporting web hosting(around 10 yrs back). I learned a lot about Linux, automation and scripting along the way and became really good at setting things up(web/application servers, php, ffmpeg, mail servers etc.). I became pretty good at python too, also learned ds and algos(I didn't have a CS background).

Moved to "devops" profiles since sys admins and regular ops guys stopped being valuable. Picked up puppet, ansible, aws/gcp. Moved to a big company, got bored out of my mind and decided to look for something else.

Questions from the first round of an interview(they call the round - * basics) in a small company - Advanced aws and k8s(no Linux or anything else in my resume). I cracked the round but was expecting it to include at least some Linux questions. Next was the scripting round which had nonsense questions involving a lot of calculation(because ops folks only know basic scripting). Cracked that too.

What I wanted to say is that there is no value in knowing Linux(to get a job, nothing beats knowledge on basics for debugging stuff once you land a job) and complex ops stuff since there is no market for these. Most of the people who were good at complex ops stuff moved into management roles seeing a lack of market for everything they knew.

I am planning to leetcode some more and move to a dev profile after a year or two since there is no upward career path for all the ops stuff. There is too much to prepare for devops interviews since there is no standardized interview template either(advanced Linux, advanced networking, advanced k8s, cloud providers, everything in my resume [a ton of stuff that I'm slowly removing one by one], ds and algos, leetcode].

It is not that there aren't people out there with the required knowledge, we are just removing all the seemingly useless stuff from our resumes.
The developer experience for AWS serverless offerings, like Lambda, is awful. You can spend hours going down a rabbit hole of API gateway configuration, IAM roles, security policies, VPC endpoints, etc. that gives you very little in terms of useful error messages when it's not quite configured right. But, yeah, once you do set it up, the per-request cost is quite cheap. Still, I think if you consider the lost developer productivity dealing with slow deploys and environment/configuration issues, the costs are much, much higher.
> First of all, I spend a bunch of time looking up the best way to write something. That means stackoverflow, searching for libraries, etc.

This is what I do normally and it's what I was tired of. I always had to search for the "best" way of doing something, and in the end I had more "shiny object syndrome" than actually shipping anything substantial.

This led me to this current project. I didn't look anything up, really. I got distracted once or twice by second guessing myself, to which I had this train of thought, as an example:

"Should I use iframes or screenshots? If it's screenshots I don't want to sit there and screenshot every single site. How could I automate it? I could use Puppeteer or Playwright, let me look at their docs. [30 min later, I'd realize I wasted my time and wasn't focused on the project]. Ok, iframes it is then. I know it'll make the site slow since it has to load a bunch of data, but iframes have advantages such as showing the interactivity of a site in its dark theme that screenshots don't."

And on and on. So I gave myself a time limit and just started coding. The debugger/type checker in my case was TypeScript but even still there is barely any logic to the site at all (and thus no errors), the only major part was parsing JSON (which is predictably easy in JS/TS) and for-looping through it. Next.js also has hot reloading so I can see a live preview of the page on the left side of my screen with VSCode on the right, so I wouldn't say I'm one of the coders you're talking about, but maybe those people also do something like what I do and you perhaps just thinking they're coding without ever running it.
This is a highly controversial topic, but I would be cautious about dismissing the OP out of hand simply because it's not in the US/EU.

The medical system in the US wholly rejects non-pharmacological remedies, primarily because Pharma has a stranglehold on the medical profession, but also because such remedies are not easily reproducible in clinical trials (which are incredibly expensive and have to be funded by someone, ergo, Pharma). That's not to say that homeopathic remedies all work, but the body is an extremely complex system with a great deal of variance from person to person. There are non-pharmacological remedies that have worked for certain people where pharmacological remedies failed, and the results can't always be scientifically explained. There's also a plenty of times that they don't work. And there's plenty of quackery. But to say that the US medical system has monopoly on medical knowledge would be foolish. (One example is that ketamine is slowly becoming accepted as a positive tool in treating certain mental health conditions, whereas for decades you had to go to some "clinic in Mexico" to find a doctor who could prescribe it to you.)
If you create a sRGB texture on a modern GPU, the R/G/B channels are stored in sRGB (functionally a lot like gamma correction in this case) while the alpha channel is always linear 0-255. So while the GPU's texture samplers will convert the R/G/B channels to linear before filtering or sending the result to a shader, nothing gets done to the alpha channel.
Have you looked at PurrData, an Electron-based GUI?
Ah, yes. I too listen to NPR occasionally.
I didn't code for 24 hours straight haha, that would have been quite something. I did it more on-and-off over the course of that time.
The Wuhan lab is already BSL 4, that didn't prevent the pandemic (assuming it was the source).

If the paper in the article is correct then what really needs to be done is a ban on gain of function research.
> However, there is an assumption that file I/O will never block "indefinitely" -- unless something is severely broken, the kernel will always finish the operation in finite time probably measured in milliseconds at most. The same is not true of network communications, where you may be waiting for an event that never happens.

Doesn’t this statement assume all filesystems are local? If the filesystem is remote (NFS, CIFS/SMB, WebDAV or SSH via FUSE, etc), then regular file IO is the same thing as network communication - and an NFS server going down (or losing connectivity to it) no more counts as “severely broken” than the same scenario for any other network protocol/application/service.
