"For instance, it's easy to demonstrate how Rust is superior to C: Just show a short piece of code where an array is returned from a function. In C, this will involve raw pointers and manual memory management with all associated safety and security pitfalls, "

Typedef the array, return that. One pitfall, it's not resizable.

I think after Windows 7 the processes are grouped per application in Task Manager.
We’re all grumpy about the redesigns of things we are familiar with, but little UX improvements happen all the time.
Migrations from too hot areas to warm or cold ones is what is going to happen. But moving to an empty area is different from moving to a heavily populated one. Moving thousands of people is different than moving maybe billions. It's not going to be easy and probably not cooperative. And that will be probably happening together with sea level rising and the resulting destruction / relocation of infrastructure. Very interesting times, much more than now.
> Publicly calling your CEO out like that will generally get you fired. It would be newsworthy if the engineer didn't get released.

You can only think that as an unavoidable consequence if you assume the CEO's ego is more important than the company.
Mobile Notifications, better controls. Also native code means better performance.

Also nobody uninstalls apps, so you have access to notifications permanently. It is the only unhindered marketing channel, especially on iOS/iPadOS.

This reminds me of jan Misali's analysis of Hangman (in fact the title is so similar that I'm inclined to believe that it's definitely inspired despite not mentioning the video or Misali by name) [^1]. In any case, I'm obviously inclined to agree that they're both weird games, and that the weirdness comes from their fundamental asymmetry. It definitely reminds me of a sort of ritualized play, where an asymmetry is "artificially" constructed for the purpose of being broken down. There's a fictionalized power dynamic that gets produced, yet the erosion of this dynamic isn't just the point, it's often aided by the one in power (how many times have I given my friends hints or extra chances in both games).

> It’s cooperative because everyone is ultimately working toward a common goal: deducing the answer

I think this point gets pretty close to why these games are fun or interesting to begin with. I don't think it's necessarily because that they teach you about a person based on the object they choose or the guesses they make, but the fact that the game operates at all. In some sense it's like a puzzle, but unlike a puzzle doesn't just operate on its prima facie rules - because if you can't solve a puzzle then that's just too bad, but if 20 questions doesn't end then something is off. In seems that 20 questions is interesting because there are social conventions within which it operates and playing by those conventions seems to demonstrate a social and emotional understanding that power dynamics within the relationship will be cooperatively undermined.

I don't mean this to come off as insensitive but having a pipeline conversion of 10% on both steps of the process feels quite low to me. Both numbers are very different from my own experience: with a 'true FAANG' name on resume, the application to interview rate should be more around 50-90%. For interview->offer, if you grind out system design and LeetCode, you can get to 40-75%. These numbers are quite attainable for junior/mid-level/senior roles, though there is more variability / poorer predictability for staff-level roles.

Speaking from experience as well as the experience of former colleagues. Of course, you may find that you don't want to grind out prep to increase the latter conversion, which is also fine. Just wanted to provide another data point.
"Can you buy it at Target" is a good one, I'll try it next time.
What country are you in? How do you fund your PayPal account?

If you don’t want a credit card because you don’t want debt, what you likely want is a debit card. Most banks issue it for free.

If you are in the UK, make sure to tell your bank to set your overdraft to zero.

If you are in the US, keep in mind that you are not building credit by choosing to never use a credit card (and yes I think it is stupid as well). I know there are zero-fee credit cards that can act as debit cards, I can find some recommendation if you like.

In the US, Privacy.com is also a cool issuer of virtual cards which may have features you are interested in.

If for some reason you don’t want a debit card either because you hate physical cards or something, know that Google Pay and Apple Pay also issue virtual cards on your behalf, and in some countries don’t need a card as payment method.

PS: All money is debt :)

You're assuming that font size increases in a browser are part of assistive technology and they are not. Relative font sizes are much more adaptable across a broad range of devices and technologies.

> Decentralization promotes an utopian view of the world that I belief fails to address actual real problems in practice.

People have mentioned email, but what about DNS? RIPE/ip4 routing?

Small, federateted invite-only, self-hostable communities seem exactly the right fit for social media.

The gatekeepers know their users (invite only).

Instances can be small, easier to agree on a culture/moderation policy.

Federation allows cross-pollination of ideas across communities.

For example, with DNS most people (with internet access, I think) can register a domain, but not everyone can register a .no/Norwegian domain. The organization (NORID) that has delegated authority for the zone, knows Norway. It has a priv.no subdomain, and it knows about government entities an municipalities that we've decided should have special status. This is a pretty great example of efficient decentralized authority.

There are other registrars that have decided to organize things differently, like Tuvalu - but that doesn't really impact NORID as such.
still on the front page, good luck with that haha
FCC regulations on what you can transmit legally (and with appropriate category of license, for things like new FM broadcasters and OTA TV stations) in all the VHF, UHF, S and L bands, and part 101 microwave bands are actually quite stringent.
> That's not true. Public media gets very little government funding. The CPB gets a Congressional appropriation once a year and sends it via grants to various public media orgs. But PBS, NPR all their affiliates, the Associated Press, Pro Publica etc are all private orgs that get most of their funding from donors and sponsors.

That still means that the cost is shouldered by multiple entities, each with their own goals & agendas. The cost of the media itself doesn't go away because someone else bore it.

In fact, given that they're bearing the cost, there'll inevitably be a larger sway in placating to the cost bearer's desires & beliefs in order to have a greater chance at continuing to receive donations from them in the future. Failure to do so may prompt the donator(s) to see their money as being lit on fire instead of being properly spent.

Even in the best base of a "blind donator", who doesn't care about the media produced & will fund it regardless of the stances of the produced media, the money from them is still finite & requires (their earnings > their expenditures).
> storing value for large amounts of people in some area, in times of crisis (e.g. financial crisis, war, oppressive governments, etc).

Except the fact that bitcoin needs continuous internet access and electricity. The first can be blocked by oppressive government. The second can be hard to come by in times of war.

Yeah, even in Europe this is happening at a massive scale. Romanian border checks often uncover dozens or even hundreds of tones of plastic, textile, rubber garbage and e-waste coming from countries like France, Germany and the UK, falsely marked as "recycling" or "raw materials" in the paperwork, which are definitely not recyclable or usable, but will end up in some Romanian landfill operated by some shady unscrupulous business owner who even burn the trash sometimes, causing masive air pollution. I heard the same is happening in other countries, such as Turkey.

It hit me that many rich countries get their so called "green-ness" by paying poorer, more corrupt countries, to offshore their environmental damage, while globally the impact is still the same, but as long as it's not in their back yard, it counts as being green.

I second this. I find that the investment here is well worth it -- in general it takes me 15-30 minutes to read the job description, read up a bit on the company itself, and adjust the resume. I haven't personally tried the spray-and-pray approach.

It's also not something that requires a bunch of mental energy, so you can do it in the late evening when your brain is tired from the full day anyway.
It's not quite the same. Firefox can change the default font size and Safari can set the minimum font size. If the rest of your layout has sizes set in pixels, then you will have 6 words in that "400px-wide container", whereas a "30em-wide container" would have fit that better.

In reality however no one cares about this anymore, at least since browsers have implemented full-page zoom and especially since responsive design became a thing, meaning that one should be able to zoom into a whole page and have it fit properly anyway.

So for me this is outdated information useful to about 3 users per website. Long gone are the days of 62.5% font size trick.
I truly admire you. I have managed to put myself on a 8km/day weekdays and 15km/day weekends schedule for last 5+ years and know how much effort is needed to do that.

Unfortunately, you possible just need to walk more then and focus on your core muscles. I have the exact same thing and the only way to stop my back from aching is to focus on tightening my abs. Doing some basic ab and core exercises like planks, superman, etc will probably help. You need to do them correctly though and rally focus on tightening the right muscles, otherwise it'll hurt the back even more.

If you have the means, I'd probably recommend visiting a physical therapist, or a personal trainer who specializes in core strengthening.

In fact, banks count assets of their clients as liabilities because it is in fact money in their possession (read: control) that they owe to their clients.
That’s what I meant with digital services being a decade behind here. I attribute it to extreme conservatism to preserve jobs that aren’t in fact necessary. Bureaucracy is incapable of seeing beyond itself, just like so many other areas are as well.
The thing I loved most about BeOs is that it assumed you were a competent operator. They didn't hide "dangerous" settings from the user.

For example, in the settings you could choose to turn each CPU in the machine on and off. But it didn't stop you from turning all of them off. And if you turned the last one off, the system halted, just as you'd expect. No warnings, nothing that stopped you. If you thought turning off all the CPUs was the right thing to do, then by golly you go ahead and do it!
Exchanges aren't part of the protocol.

Cultivating relationships with influential people makes sense for an investment bank. Jane Street is a market maker, what exactly would they gain from it?
this is exactly what's happening and it can be concerning, but from reading the http/3 spec, i think the changes make a lot of sense.

http/3 is multiplex by default, which lends itself much better to RPC (love it or hate it), and is designed to perform much better over choppy network connections (cellular).

also there is really no good reason to not be on https these days. first, chrome uses system certificate trust stores, and OSes still ship with a healthy set of root CAs. second, LE is only popular because creating certs with literally anyone else (except the cloud providers) is expensive and a huge pain in the ass...but you can still get your own shiny cert issued by DigiCert or whomever. third, every web server has made enabling https on vhosts really easy and almost all servers run on CPUs which do hw-accelerated crypto, so performance hits are negligible these days. fourth, i would personally much rather get a SSL warning when the site I'm visiting isn't who they say they are than get a site that's modified in transit silently without me knowing.

the only thing i use http for these days are super simple local dev sites or for my dummy page for detecting captive portals.

the change that really worries me is chrome going all in on neutering adblockers through manifest v3. that feels hugely anti-consumer to me.

- use px for borders, absolute positioning of small elements, etc. which you don’t want to scale at all

- use ch for setting text paragraph widths

- use rem for element horizontal padding/margin

- use em for everything else, like element vertical margin/padding, font and icon sizes

His aunt works at the World Economic Forum [1]. The World Economic Forum was promoting his organization, FTX. [2] He was the second largest donor to Biden's 2020 campaign. He was also the second largest donor to DNC primary campaigns [4]. He had a stated intent of spending up to $1 billion on the 2024 election [5]. The NYTimes, which generally has an overwhelmingly negative stance on crypto/tech/billionaires, is now running puff pieces on him. [6]

It will be an interesting test of our legal system. It's increasingly looking like FTX was simply a giant scam/fraud, but SBF is extremely well connected and buttered all the right bellies.

I have personally never enjoyed walking as a time to think or mentally relax. If anything, it stresses me out as my mind wonders around, obsesses, etc. I find that doing more strenuous activities or activities that require more attention, such as various yard and gardening work, do more to clear my mind.

It’s the same thing with lifting weights or running. They are so monotonous and boring that I would much rather do hard physical labor or some sporting activity that gets mind going on some other activity.
