At what rate of use did it become a problem?

I'm basically asking, do you think once every 2-3 weeks will be an issue? I think something about relying on it, even at 2-3 weeks, might make it an issue long term. But I'm not sure.

It doesn't affect me the same way as it did 10 years ago when i first tried. Back then it was euphoria and now it's just slight concentration. Which is ideal for working. But the euphoria is mostly gone.

IIRC, Twitter was (just barely and recently) profitable, before Musk took over and saddled them with $1 billion/year in debt service and tanked ad sales.

It wasn't awesome, but it had found a working groove.

The Open Library project https://openlibrary.org/developers has a free ISBN API. I used it along with tesseract OCR and a webcam to build a database of my physical books (218 total). I never had any rate limiting issues.

but with a GC, Java/Go/etc are inherently more safe than rust.

Rust can have double-frees and some of the most serious memory safety errors that those cannot.
Clearly not true in physics and engineering. How many people can honestly they're as smart as Maxwell, Einstein, Von Neumann, or even "minor" players like John Bardeen and Bill Shockley?

More believable about business and public morality of all sorts (including economics), all of which can be swamps of reality-denying utter stupidity.

The opposite of stupid isn't smart. The opposite of stupid is true, accurate, and realistic.
That's certainly who he started pandering to once the deal looked likely. "Democrats are the party of division and hate" in May 2022 [0]. BTW, searching for this tweet on Google is fruitless, whereas DuckDuckGo brought it up straight away (from my US-based IP).

If that was to set the stage for reinstating Trump, it seems to have backfired massively, as Trump (of all people), called him out as a BS artist and RINO.

Still, on what should have been of the busiest weeks in Twitter's history, he found time to use his Twitter bullhorn to advocate voting Republican in every race.

It's not about saying where the data is / warning your customer, it's about protecting the data.

You need to protect it under EU court / jurisdiction, and the US broke that and said they have jurisdiction over any piece of data your company ever touches.

That's why the US now wants some sort of privacy shield 2.

As an actual solution you can use: find another company, an EU company, one that you don't own, to handle your PII data for you, so you never store that data yourself.

Also, be sure to read in the GDPR exactly what is and isn't PII under it, a lot of companies can work just fine without much or any PII, and a lot of people think "any" data is PII.
Not really. That's just an easy one to Google, there are tons of other examples that are easy to find if you look.

Any time I've looked past the news articles and looked at actual extreme weather frequency going back the past 100-200 years, the results have all pretty much been consistent. There's great science out there for reconstructing stream flows (drought indicator) based on tree rings, for example, that can take you back to the 1600s.

The early 1900s, for example, were a nightmare climate-wise, and the 30s killed a crazy number of people.

The world record for 100 miles is about 11 hours. I'd bet most healthy adults could cover 10 miles in a day of sight-seeing.

"I still can't reconcile how fast this happened."

That's normal for trading firms. Lehman Brothers went down about this fast.

The larger finance and regulatory systems are no longer willing to tolerate long "pauses" in withdrawals from crypto companies. Now, you "pause" withdrawals for a day and you're dead. Back in the Mt. Gox days, crypto exchanges went into limbo for months before the hammer of bankruptcy came down. That's over.
> For regular application code there's no real benefit

Can't disagree, naive garbage collected code would outperform naive Rust code that allocates Strings and Vecs up the wazoo.

And performance isn't a real issue with simple CRUD/ORM-type services.

Wrapping business logic in newtypes and enforcing specific invariants for them and serde style "parse don't validate", can do wonders for business logic, but then again you can probably just use a garbage collected functional language with dependent typing and a bunch of other tricks in its hat, and get more mileage out of it, if that's the code you write.

> It's not really a systems language because of all the hidden memory allocations

C and C++(especially) can hide memory allocation just fine themselves.

Allocations are pretty explicit in Rust, but layers of libraries can hide those (if you don't use no_std and the like), just like in C or C++.

> lack of a stable ABI

there is the C ABI, a stable Rust ABI at any stage would just be an optimization killer and a massive PITA, ask C++. Stable ABI, international standard, and multiple implementations of the compiler, are not a requirement for a systems language.

For a language that relies on compile-time monomorphization, a stable ABI beyond what C already provides gives precious little. Swift ABI forgoes monomorphization, but it's not really a trade-off a systems language should embrace. The template header issue in C++, I won't even touch.

There are also crates in the ecosystem that can generate 2-way FFI glue code to provide a stable ABI for Rust based on extern "C".

> It's garbage for embedded because of all the gratuitous copies you have to make to appease the borrow checker. It blows up your memory budget.

We use embedded Rust on a memory constrained MCU and besides slightly increasing the maximum stack size (because less is allocated on the heap), memory budget is not an issue we have. And in LLVM 16, Rust's stack usage will decrease even more, due to recent optimizations.

You don't need to use "gratuitous copies", you can statically allocate just fine, and if your value is ephemeral and is read/mutated by multiple threads, heap allocating with reference counting is just fine.

No, he says most people do not actually implement the interface to make it make sense. So they have to make ctrl-z and ctrl-shift-z do the logical linear thing which requires all sorts of craziness which is what is complicated to do correctly (e.g. without breaking user expectations).

They will be fine _modulo people's interest in crypto_. The way I think about it is that their business model is taking fees off of every transactions, so as the interest tapers off so will their earnings and valuation.
Great Lakes have claimed so many ships, deadliest being the Lady Elgin with a loss of approximately 300 lives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Lady_Elgin).

The huge waves that brought down Edmund Fitzgerald are thought to be caused by the mythical Gales of November phenomenon on Lake Superior (https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/11/10/lake-superiors-gale...), which is due to cold Arctic air from north colliding with very warm air from the Gulf of Mexico (we had 70s in Chicago this week!).

From the MPRNews article:

"John Swenson, a professor in the department of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Minnesota Duluth who grew up on Lake Superior, has looked at records of the biggest storms over the past 30 years.

'I find that the average storm, so in terms of time of the year, actually falls on about Nov. 10. So long story short, we get a storm like this, you know, on average on Nov. 10.' "
His parents are law professors at Stanford. It’s crazy. You think they’d make a call and tell him to just stop.
One big, directly related mistake, in my opinion is the strongly held idea that some people are geniuses, and that general intelligence is a thing.

The more I look into it, the more I see that some people are experts, even genius-level experts, sometimes in several fields, but this level of expertise is a weak predictor of their competence in different fields.

A second big problem is that some people are experts at manipulating masses and at building hype, it can be dangerous because there is a strong compounding effect with hype. (Aka snowballing)
YT recommends content based on what you watch and what you say you don't like. If that's all you're getting it's a reflection of what you watch.

I'm not saying they're good at recommendations, they're not. I get tons of recommendations that I have no interest in. I still get some of those garbage ASMR recommendations but most is related content.
>thus the ability to remain in that desirable position implies sufficient competence to fend off all challengers

In the modern world there are very few individual people with a lot of power. Power today is highly distributed among institutions and elites and managers and bureaucrats and so on. Just ask any recent US president when they ran headfirst into the machinery that is the entire government how that went. No deep state necessary, just sheer inertia of systems much larger than them.

What all the examples in the article should tell people isn't that powerful people are stupid or smart, it's that nobody's in charge any more. Elon failing to tame twitter, SBF going broke on crypto isn't about intelligence, it's about people trying to speculate on or control systems that are much too complex and autonomous to be ordered around by one guy.

Most cookie content popups and forms that you see are also flagrantly illegal under the GDPR.

The problem is that enforcement is rare and small scale compared to the overall scope of the problem. In both of these cases it's a day late and orders of magnitude short.

The Schrems II stuff is a situation where many of the politicians and the businesses really don't want to have to do anything and so they just kinda ignore the law until privacy advocates force their hand. So enforcement is effectively non-existent; the hope being that they can just run out the clock until some sort of legislation magically fixes the issue.

As always with lisps, you’ve got quite a bit of competition in the space of minimal implementations. I like Fennel or Janet. Fennel transpiles to Lua, giving you a pretty big ecosystem for free. Janet was built to be a “modern” tiny Lisp that can run interpreted or AoT compiled.
But it isn't lost or scattered into the atmosphere. It's kept well contained in a nice container which can be moved around easily with a forklift. The metals can be reprocessed and turned back into more batteries.

Even first generation Leaf batteries are still being sold for reasonable sums of money so we haven't even reached the stage were we are recycling them in ernest yet.
Is it possible for you to link any of the climate models where you've observed this and point out some of the inaccuracies? (Or to link to an existing blog post or comment that does so?)
Algae has what I sometimes call the "hempseed problem": it tastes awful. Hempseeds are highly productive, nutritious, and smash almost every other whole plant food on the crucial protein:fiber ratio, coming in at 12:1. The only problem is, you have to eat them.

Japan pretty much identified every kind of seaweed that you can eat without puking a thousand years ago and the list is not long. A tablespoon of spirulina is a great way to ruin a smoothie, never mind that it mostly comes from the disappearing Lake Chad.

So it's heavily processed, and it could certainly get into food products that way, but nobody will notice — or care — that they're eating algae-derived food products. If you doubt that, just look up where xanthan gum comes from, or consider that Aspergillus niger is the primary source of citric acid.
Except Rust can still have serious memory safety errors like double-frees and memory leaks.

All those other languages cannot. Rust is much less safe than a GC language in terms of memory.

What's that mean? What's a browser partner? What's a device partner? How do additional formats cost to those "partners", as the format handling would be performed by Chrome already?
The original markdown parser supported html because it was basically just a preprocessor that added some syntactic sugar to html. The proposal here isn't just "what if browsers had a markdown preprocessor" (although I also think that would be questionable), but "what if browsers limited content down to only markdown, so that the web was all just clean, style-agnostic documents," and that clearly requires that markdown not support arbitrary html.
Is it though? If you really just needed part of what you had and hour ago, then there's nothing wrong with scrolling back to an hour ago, copying that one bit you needed, scrolling back some more to where you were a minute ago, and integrate it as desired?

(which, note, is not window shopping: you didn't go back to have a look and skedaddle; the past is a data store, and you're accessing that data store for productivity reasons)

Remember when Biden said the Hunter Biden laptop was fake?

It is very common
I might be understanding you poorly here...

The author is not dismissing this in the sense of saying “it's impossible and that's okay” but rather “it's possible and it never generated the ambiguity in the first place, so it needs no special logic.”

So you probably actually use undo-redo in two big ways:

1. I just pasted the wrong thing or modified the wrong file or the kid grabbed the keyboard etc, I want to quickly erase N changes.

2. I want to grab info from the past and surface it back to the present. I cut something and then lost my clipboard contents, or so. This is what you described.

The problem in the article is, basically imagine that you get the key wrong. You do your browsing thing, you are N levels back in time, but instead of Cmd-c to copy this block of code, you accidentally either Cmd-x which deletes it, or Cmd-v or Opt-c or so which overwrites it. You were trying to do (2) but now the dominant heuristic suggests to the computer that you are actually doing (1). Because in the usual implementation of undo-redo, undos push changes off the history onto a stack, redos pop changes off the stack onto the history... And any new change clears the redo stack! That stack clear is the heuristic providing the difference between (1) and (2). When the heuristic misfires, it misfires in really dangerous ways, potentially eating hours of work.

So (2) is not being dismissed as “who cares” but rather as “that's fine because our heuristic has not yet led us astray, every implementation of undo that has redo will solve obvious-(2) and obvious-(1) correctly.”

This is where I might be misunderstanding you, I am not clear if you are saying that your editor is cooler than this default interpretation in some way that does not require “redo all the way back and cut-and-paste the previous partial state”...? If so then I would have to hear more before I could know if the article’s “history is always chronological, but browsing history is different than undoing it: undoing it only happens on an edit to an old browsed copy and saves a history-rollback into the modern chronological history, rather than fussing with undo graphs or whatever” approach works that way.

Edit: actually, the article’s approach of having a browse mode solves your problem automatically in a counterintuitive way... Cut instead of copy, you will get launched out of browse-mode, then undo twice to get to the tip of your history. Counterintuitive but definitely saves some keystrokes.
Google is paying for default IOS search eyeballs. That's it. It would make zero sense to be paying Apple billions a year "to not build a search engine" when Apple is openly working on Search. Search is also ridiculously hard with the constant battle against SEO/Spam industry so I don't think Google is worried about a similar platform. Bing is 13 yrs old and has 3% market share. Where they are actually probably worried about losing search usage is social outlets like Tiktok and Reddit where people look for answers.

Disappointing. I'll have to figure out the JXL WASM polyfill. Maybe if I wait a few months someone else will do it for me?

There's https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/tree/dev/codecs/... that provides `JXLModule.decode(data: BufferSource): ImageData | null`, but for a polyfill I suspect you'd want a method to get the dimensions of the image and an IntersectionObserver to defer actually decoding the image until it scrolls into view. Having to load the image with XHR is annoying.
To my knowledge you would have to create a new account and set up redirects, since it's a new server. Migrating is definitely a pain point in the fediverse. That's why I ended up going with a single-user instance that I selfhost.

Why lithium is not considered in the same category as fossil fuels? I mean, it is technically used as a fuel that you need to keep "energising" and it becomes "spent" after nth "energising'. Whereas e.g. diesel comes "pre-charged" and is "spent" after first use?
