Nope. It's halve of the truth in my eyes and, again, written by someone with its own agenda and one wanting to lure you in to vegan. KEEP CAUTION!! ;)

The charts showing the Earth's population and "hunger on the rise again", anf the other's aren't in question. Except of one.

THE QUESTION is why the author assume that by removing beef and muttons, their land usage will minimize - of course it will! But it won't be automatically converted to crop land which can be used to plant crops.

Nope...

We don't have a race concurrency to the supply of food. The beef and mutton get

1. The leavings of crop production, while the human can't digest f.e. halms

2. The grasses, which can be planted where no crop is growing, in harsher environments e.g,, can be fed to animals, but not to humans.

So, the argument is very wrong in that term. The conclusion "we have to be vegi/Vega" is based on unlogical thinking.

WE have to find ways to feed 10 bn. And for sure, we have to reduce beef and mutton, just alone given a possible food concurrency.

We have a resource that isn't in direct concurrency. It's living in an environment where we can't survive. Fish.

So, the future is with little lacto/oevre, more fish and mostly plant based, but not pure vegan.

We are limited in area that could be used plants and crops. Also, our agriculture isn't magic. At some point the soil is used up. This must be addressed more seriously.

The future will also be high stacked ;)
This post is not about Fleet, it’s about new clean UI for classic IDEs. I tried it in Rider and really liked it, it’s much cleaner.

AFAIK there are no plans to discontinue the classic IDEs in favor of Fleet
No.

The centralized platforms and social networks you reference have tens of millions to billions of users.

I would not be surprised at all if between all of them they do millions of password resets daily.

No matter how much the crypto community tries to force it people forget stuff and mess things up.

The concept of average users managing their own keys is DOA.
I’d like to add - forbid leveraged investors from buying existing stock.
In C where using the simplest data structures is valuable, you’d likely do much better by upgrading your programming language to something that offers a better data structure. If you’re using a higher level language where you can abstract details about your sequence data structure, I think there’s very little benefit to using the simplest data structure and you should instead have widely used libraries that offer a good immutable sequence type, e.g. RRB trees.

One exception is ML style languages where singly linked lists get a big syntax advantage (Haskell only half counts because most of its lists are really just iterators). I think this was, in hindsight, a mistake for a widely used language. It’s also a source of pointless pain for learners (eg I don’t think there’s much benefit to people having to write lots of silly tail-recursive functions or learning that you have to build your list backwards and then reverse it). Another exception would be some lisps where lists are everywhere and the cons-cell nature of them makes it hard to change.
That's not been my experience, so far i have seen less toxicity.
I hope that senior engineer is also the one person, who will refactor things, if ever there are more elements in any of those vectors, making linear search slower than an actual set or other data structure. Oh and of course that senior engineer will also hopefully be the one monitoring the lengths of all those vectors in production.
Nor does videoconferencing require you to be transmitting/receiving video throughout the entire session.

I cut my bandwidth usage when working from home by using the toggle on receiving video when I wasn’t interacting that almost all apps provide.

(it’s also nice to mute your own video when not talking to save the resources of others and also save yourself from “camera fatigue”)
Yes, I only use Facebook Messenger.
It's exciting to see a truly open social network getting so many users.
It has been mentioned numerous times here, but hypercard could have been what the web is today. Thirty years ago the hypercard alternative supercard opened a whole new world for many developers. Supercard made it possible to make standalone mac apps, in colors, with access to the internet.

I remember making a simple app to send text messages to motorola pagers at that time. It even looked like a pager on the screen.
It is not what would happen if Twitter disappears that is worrying, it is what it might become if steward unwisely.
With these pincers you lose multiple degrees of freedom v. chopsticks, and while those degrees of freedom make chopsticks harder in some respects, they also allow chopsticks to grip large and irregularly-shaped items with which pincers would have a much more difficult time.

Compared to the other pauses kernels make? Biscuit (POSIX in Go [0]) introduced at worst a pause of 115 microseconds and a slowdown due to GC and safety checks of 15%. But the forementioned systems don't have a kernel/userspace split; Microsoft measured the split made a server 25 to 33% _slower_ [1].

I mean, what instance did you register on? Because I've been using it for a couple years and uhh, the toxicity is nearly non-existent for me. I see some stupid crap once in a while in a response to some highly-followed user, but then I just mute the person's entire instance (if I find that similarly-toxic crap is a common sort of output from there).

Simultaneously, I've had more meaningful communication on Mastodon in the past week than I've had on twitter in the past year. I have just over 200 followers and Mastodon, and nearly 1400 on Twitter.

So yeah, I've thoroughly explored it, and I am definitely investing myself into it -- and have no intention of going back.

I have already stopped checking Twitter for weeks at a time or longer. I only open it to see if I have a message from a friend (since I turn off email notifications for basically everything), or maybe tweet at some brand whose service has made my day crappier.
Isn't it ironic that this page only has so far:

* A blog (which solved the issue of "everyone having a place to express their opinion" about 20 years ago, but fell out of favor because it required time and thoughts, gave too much power and responsibility to authors, did not gave enough power for a central capital monopoly to fully monetize it)

* A link to a twitter handle (which solved the issue of "let's push my content in front of people that might be interested because their friends are interested", at the cost of optimizing for toxic filter bubbles and anonymous bots trolling each other.

It's really funny to see people wondering how they're going to salvage twitter or replace twitter, improve twitter, etc.. when times are giving the occasion to do the bold thing : get rid of twitter. Log off twitter. Start a blog, subscribe to interesting people's blog, maybe resurrect a half-decent "social network of blogs" that would bring memories of Google Reader.

Maaaaybe, add a "x people read this" and "y people hates that" counter if you want, to satisfy the author's ego ("Other people like me !") and protect reader's ego ("I'm like other people !"). This also gives you a tool to prioritize and monetize _the list of blogs_, if you're okay to become the Sheppard of a thought bubble. But, to the world at large, "virality" is a bug, not a feature.

* A promise to leave moderation to instance owners, but have an API to delegate moderation to "us", which is still not the time-proven solution of "judges from a branch of government telling the law written by another branch of government, whith decisions enforced by yet another branch of government, where government is ideally democratically elected" - but I suppose that in a century or two, we'll get there.

* No solution to the two real power of twitter :

- giving random Joe's a way to insult celebrities and politicians

- giving journalists around the western world something to talk about without having to read hard and thoughfull content or leave their desk

* Also, no software (yet) ?

What would a team of "accessibility engineers" occupy themselves with every day anyway? Did they build features that will fail unless someone is there to handhold?

"Day 2: still accessible? check. Day 3: still accessible? check."....

Accessibility is important, but once you build a wheelchair ramp into a building, the ramp builders have nothing more to do. Likewise, Twitter remains fairly static, with only minor changes over the years.

> As someone who cares for a blind father, I can't stomach the decision...

So you could stomach the decision if you didn't have a blind father? That's not how shared values of accessibility should work - the care factor depending on who you know.

The German government also does that through their BSI (federal office for information security).

Ask HN: How to get into AI generation(images,text)
Hey! I am a software engineer with vast experience of building full stack application and lately I’ve been really mesmerized by popping up tools that utilize AI to solve common day to day problems. Generating blog outlines from couple of lines of text, creating realistic avatars of yourself in different settings, generating art from text prompts. I’ve never even had touch points with such technologies so it’s quite overwhelming for me in terms where to start!

Do I need to know the basics? Shall I just utilize the existing solutions like gpt-3, openAI, stable diffusion and built applications with them? Can I make those tools tailored for my uses cases(model training) or I should built similar from the scratch?

Looking for advice!
Just curious, have you spent time looking at the type of comments getting removed?

Have you looked at any of the top threads on Reveddit/Unddit with 75% of the comments gone?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how it goes way, way beyond those rules you just listed, into something that can only be described as a petty dictatorship - but with any hundred angry nerds who happened to show up playing the dictator.

Zero transparency, zero due process, no one cares.

This sort of excuse (blindly believing all that matters is "just don't be an asshole on the internet and you have nothing to worry about", "just follow the rules on the sidebar") is exactly how this sort of thing happens and no one bothers to look into it. If Reddit had a button to list the comments arbitrarily removed (like Google shows DMCA request removals) you can be sure the outrage would be 100x and those sidebar rules would seem meaningless besides maybe 20% of the time.

I chose r/science because that's a topic that typically prides itself on caring about finding the truth, not about satisfying the ideological whims of the gatekeepers.
You put it in the bio waste bin (optional - use biodegradable bags)
Uh, I don't know about Mastodon, can't judge about it, but I'm following your website's own RSS feed. Website + RSS feed does the job for me. And as long as you keep publishing a feed, I'm able to read your content just fine.

The web is already 'social media'!

Edit: oh, by the way, my homegrown newsreader only shows the first x amount of characters, so I always have to click through to your website if I want to read more.
Seems like by "in a month" to be true, the next trendy thing would already be known. Mastadon is not it, so what's the migration moving to?
Someone needs to do that though. With the foremost experts sacked, and staff down with a half, who will bother?
> Criticism of published work should assume basic competence

What this is saying is that even if egregious blunders are made it is against the rules to call that out - how can I point out incompetence if I have to assume competence?

I host a medical journal club - statistical incompetence in the life sciences is bountiful.

> Comments dismissing established findings

I’m sure defining established isn’t difficult to do/open for abuse. /s

Those aren’t “strict” rules - they are poorly defined rules open up to tremendous interpretation.

Reddit is a cesspool for honest intellectual debate.

It's just some dude's blog. You chose to read it. Entering into someone's personal newsletter and expecting them to NOT write about themselves is a weird thing. Maybe the egocentrism is not on _that_ side of the equation hm.
I agree it's overused (especially since it's often not actually true) and a particularly tech-savvy grandma would have every right to be offended by it, but at least the "old people are bad at computers" part is is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of.

It's hard to learn new things, especially if you encounter them late in your life when you don't have nearly as much time, resources and neuroplasticity (is that the right term here? you know what I mean...).

As for why it's usually grandma not grandpa, it's probably a case of old discrimination showing up in today's statistics. If you were denied good STEM education and never got a job that involved bleeding edge technology, of course you were disadvantaged when computers started appearing. It sucks and we should work to never do that again to new generations, but history is sealed and I think making "grandma-approachable" tech is actually a very important goal (when it's actually easy to use, not like this).
Why comment then?

Not the mental capacity, but the general aversion of tech in older women as compared to that of older men and younger women.
I disagree, Also Midnight Run Club series had similar system before, and had better music, also why do reddit people keep writing 'literally' all the time?

>complex system

very simple system to prevent repeats and inject slugs, and all the sequels(and GTA 3 + vice, had that system.. Did you play all those games?

Did you play Midnight Club Series? by rockstar also?

Taste wise I prefer the music in GTA4 and Vice City to San Andreas
This.

I am very uncomfortable working with people who sell their skill of taste. They have big plans and ambitions, but when the real talk comes they fall flat. It's hard to reconcile with them.

I see this behaviour in folks who made the shift to management from engineering without improving their skill enough.

I think that even worst is that it does not look fair or transparent at all. Which means, remaining employees are going to be demotivated and resentful. It is going to be chaos organizational, competences will be unclear etc. Which will make organization as a whole more dysfunctional then it needs to be.

> It's surprising people are arguing about this. That fact alone shows that lots of developers don't understand the relationship between L1/L2 cache, data access patterns, and how prefetching works.

Your misconception lies in the assumption that the only conceivable use case is iterating over a preallocated data structure to do read-only operations.

Once you add real world usages, with CRUD operations involving memory allocations/reallocations then your misconception about cache crumbles, and you start to understand why "people are arguing over this".
Multiple assertions are fine in a unit test
Twitter was already under a cloud while Musk was grandstanding his acquisition stunt. Once he was forced to go through with it, his immediate actions and communication confirmed how much chaos we (users, staff, customers) were in for. Then after one week, awfully mishandled mass layoffs, demands to massively reduce infrastructure costs, etc.

Nothing's changed? Sure it has. Trust and confidence are hard to build, easy to torch.

One week.
Twitter has always been a cesspool of hate but it may be worth signing up if people who bitch about Musk owning it keep leaving.

Boeing buys a lot of smaller technology companies/products and folds them into various subsidiaries (like Jeppesen). This brings a constant source of innovation to the enterprise, and means there are lots of interesting things going on in the broader enterprise.

The Jeppesen brand consists of a whole bunch of cool legacy companies and semi-transplanted subsets of various sibling subsidiaries: SBS, Carmen, Tapestry, Enplore etc, etc. Loads of stuff in addition to the more publicly famous chart business.

For your perusal, here's a video of Ted demonstrating Xanadu: [0] (3min18sec to jump right to the demo)

You can also browse the book he published describing the system, Literary Machines (1981) [1] -- it's a sprawling vision but I think where the parent sees overlap is in storing each text fragment as a singular entity and visualizing the links between two fragments.

> A user may also make side-by-side connections of other types. On contemplating any two pieces of text, he may make a link between them. Thereafter, when he displays either piece of text, and asks to see the links, a link-symbol is displayed, and the other attached text — if he wishes to see it.

> Naturally, making a marginal note consists of writing the note and hooking the link. The link facility gives us much more than the attachment of mere odds and ends. It permits fully non-sequential writing, or hypertext.

BTW I really like the interface of just typing and moving my cursor around, and how easy it is to pick up a block of text and move it somewhere else.

A friend of mine is also building a memex [2](1945), as mentioned in the parent. His is a fairly radical DOS interface that he's been keying his thoughts into daily since the 80s, and it's great fun watching him try to remember something [3](2013): in about 5 or 6 keystrokes skipping across the graph of all notes, he's able to find that name on the tip of his tongue, and then hop to their phone number and the date they first met, then see what else he wrote down on that day...

In terms of web accessibility, it had improved the alt text / meta descriptions, etc of external websites through the "cards" when you share a page on twitter, over the years, encouraging web developers to put them in their own websites. (same with faceboook etc)
Insights I got from my own account:

a) Reddit randomly decides some posts were spam and shadow-banned them O.o Content was all over the place, from links to link-free text posts. Weird.

b) Low quality subs (/r/europe, /r/Germany, cryptocurrency subs) liberally shadowban all kinds of comments.

All other places this shows, have comments/flairs about the removal.
Yeah agreed - I was thinking more about his productivity in producing so much stuff. I'm a bit baffled by why he's quite so successful tbh.

Well that's not true, especially not in a data-center. It's just better for general long-distance energy transfer.
The purge is of the specific individuals of that team not the concept of accessibility itself. Same goes with all these changes, it is a reboot.

If anything, you may end up with a higher quality of accessibility (and moderation, spam filtering, whatever) down the line. Or not. Who knows. The current iteration of the company has ossified - not making changes is arguably against the long term interests of your blind father.
the cringe is the manic style clump paragraphs and unnecessary emotional overshare.. Also you work with a handful of tech employees, im sure the other 3 and a half million people in the country would love you calling them a 3rd world country, which doesn even make sense and not what that term means anyway, esp cringe when gringos are saying it
That's the baffling thing to me. For the better part of a decade people have talked about Twitter being an overstaffed pack of idiots whose day to day largely consists of presiding over the fall of Western civilization. Now that they've been purchased by a jackass, however, they're suddenly a bunch of saints who've only been doing their best to hold back the tides of barbarism. I get the feeling that someone less of an asshole and more ideologically-aligned to the commentators could do the exact same housecleaning Musk is doing and they'd be cheering him on.
This is of course the flippant answer but it’s not a bad one.

Like, why not? Speaking another widely used language is a really amazing experience and you have the hard parts out of the way which is an excuse to do it and people to practice with.

If it seems daunting remember that it’s something even the dumbest two year olds are able to figure out how to do, so you could probably figure it out.
