In my mind scripting means what it is: You read a file like a script from top to bottom and run it. Declarations are actually instructions for a "declarer routine". There's usually no predefined entry point function, and if there is one it's optional.

Compiled/interpreted is kind of besides the point.

Julia (compiled, btw), ruby, python, php, perl, bash, JavaScript thus are all scripting languages.

Java, c, c#, go, f# rust, zig, Erlang, some flavors of lisp, node-style javascript, are not.

There are some corner cases. I consider elixir, for example to be a scripting language for it's own compiler which produces a very much non-scripted result.
Activitypub goes in both directions. For example, people using Mastodon will be able to follow tumblr users, interact with their posts, comment, share it on their profile, all from Mastodon apps. And vice versa. Same applies to all services that fully support activitypub. Another example - right now you can follow a peertube channel on mastodon and see their videos in your timeline as if they are using mastodon, not peertube. If you post a reply on mastodon, it is automatically shown as a comment under the video on peertube.

Thanks for the link and timestamp info!
It was much more expensive than plants. And you end with a lot of salt, that you can't just dump in the soil or the coastal areas without some bad outcomes
You can even use Dex to connect a Wacom One LCD tablet and use the main screen while you are drawing for something else (refference images, etc.).
This is seriously one of the coolest things I have seen lately. Taking a moment to look at the overall engine itself, the nature of how you arrive at such eloquently-chaotic beauty, and the sheer uniqueness of the damn thing, wow!

Appears to me to be littered with waveguides upon waveguides, pinch points, and various irises. This is really cool. Whether it works to cool the nozzle down, I feel like the beginning simulations could easily yield do more of this, less of that, test, and vary in a iterative feedback loop of sorts. Maybe even hot gas at tight-knit control, induction loops for moving heat inward to segments, or outward? Think of just how fast you could build this just by going single-part alone if it works.

I believe someone did the math and supposedly showed that it would have been cheaper to actually land on the moon than fake it with what they had available at the time.
It obviously cares about money, but it's definitely been leaning liberal for the past ten years. It started when Blankfein came out in support of gay marriage right after OWS. Blackrock with the ESG push.
To add to that - vacuum can also mess up sealed components that were manufactured at 1ATM. This is mostly a problem with electrolytic batteries and capacitors which puff up when the atmospheric pressure is removed. For batteries mitigations include manufacturing at low pressures or constraining the expansion mechanically.
Definitely various video game ROM hacking scenes. My personal expertise is in the one for Super Mario World, where I've been teaching myself 65c816 to code custom enemies and objects for my current project, but I've also been monitoring the goings on in the communities for:

- Super Mario 64
- Super Mario 64 DS
- Super Mario Sunshine
- New Super Mario Bros 2
- Luigi's Mansion
- Mario Kart Double Dash
- Wario Land 4

And a fair few other games too.
If they had any intention of actually creating something other than a marketing gimmick sure they'd do all that stuff.

She's socially accepted by some groups. If you want to understand why I dislike her book I'd suggest reading it. It's one of those that either makes you a follower or question whether you've traveled into a parallel dimension.

Some of the problem is not the A.I. technology but the model of the user interface. The model of Alexa is

[voice input] -> [action]

but to do more complex interactions it has to be more like

[input 1] -> [ask for clarification] -> [input 2] -> [propose action, ask for confirmation ] -> [action]

from the viewpoint of developing a training set this is exponentially more complicated. Maybe it is like playing chess or learning Atari games by reinforcement learning, but those games involve a small number of elements that combine in complex ways, whereas a conversation involves a space of millions of concepts. (e.g. "20 questions")

It's not so much that they need any specific feature ("buy toothpaste") that they need some way to recover the cost, for instance being more tied to the Amazon ecosystem, more likely to subscribe to Prime, etc.

It's not easy though. With roughly 70 million users they would need to generate about $150 a user in profit to cover $10 billion. At 2% margin they'd need to sell $7500 worth of stuff that they wouldn't otherwise sell.

What I don't get is where the $10 billion went: how much of it subsidizing the device? (If they sold 10 million devices last year it would be a $1000 subsidy which is incredible.) are they paying AWS prices to run the backend service? how much are they spending in software development, model training, etc?
Wow ! .. :)

When I loaded up the link, before viewing the comments in here, the very first thing I did was look for "Rebecca purple", and I was happy to find it. Not really a comment on your remarks, but thought I would share it.

I'm influenced by the having a daughter born around this time, and Rebecca's story sticks with me.
Yes, I admit this is a pain-point I have no solution to.

My current project is mostly contained to not very many sub projects, so it hasn’t been an issue.
Also interesting was this recommendation: "Keep using Tailscale!

The speed and quality of Tailscale's response to our report is unlike any vendor interaction I have experienced, and suggests a deep commitment to keeping their customers safe."

Every product has security issues now and then. The real challeng is building robust processes remediate them (and to ensure that class of issue doesn't reoccur). The teams that deliver, by being transparent and fixing their stuff in a timely way, get my business.
This is one of the most common startup ideas. It doesn’t work. Been tried dozens of times. But seems to have an unlimited supply of greater fools who will invest.
I don't think Firefox or IE properly support it yet :P
that would be a really cool outcome (tm)
MSFS2020 is straight up infinitely more friendly to novice development. Instead of having to read enterprise documentation for a custom product that is entirely based on binary file types that is very very mid 2000s microsoft, you literally import a standard 3D model file into the engine itself, and manage it with built in dev tools that are only getting better and more powerful, and the vast majority of plumbing to make things work is done in human readable xml and cfg text files, though there was some of that in FSX

Adding visual things to FS2020 is infinitely easier than any version before it. Meanwhile for ground texturing, turns out replacing that with google satelite data is as easy as proxying the web calls to google servers instead of bing. Theoretically, you could add in your own tileserver that also responds to those calls if you have your own ground textures, though I think you can also manage those in the dev tools in the sim.

Meanwhile, the api for moving data and programming into and out of the sim is super similar to how it was done in FSX, meaning it's almost backwards compatible, and supplemental apps that interact with your flight data were out within months.

Another fun thing about FS2020 over the previous version is that the 3D cockpit is much easier to program, because the instruments and even TV screen style flight displays can be programmed in javascript and WASM, giving you multiple different ways to build powerful and impressive cockpits. For FSX, things that wanted smart and powerful cockpit displays, like a modern boeing, basically required pulling data out of the sim, rendering it yourself, and smuggling that data back into the sim, meaning updating the displays at 15 fps put a large overhead on an already struggling single process executable.

MSFS2020 is so popular, and so easy to access, and so inspiring, that it has infinitely more amateurs trying to build planes in it than FSX had over it's entire life.
"Positive press" is just preemptive damage control.

And anyone knows that a "company wide hiring freeze" is surprisingly thawable in cases where it needs to be.
We're already all individually doomed to extinction, yet this doesn't prevent most of us from finding meaning in our lives. And in the long run, any civilization, no matter how flourishing, is doomed. Conditioning whether anything we do matters on the existence of an infinite chain of future progeny is a losing game.
Lol yeah getting people to see it is part of the point, I guess?
Hm I just started playing around with it recently and had no trouble joining groups and downloading apps. I'm only running a comet and not a planet.
This is a rich topic and great question, one to which we should all try offer answers.

From my experience, I work with topic maps - extremely rich knowledge graphs, and an ISO 13250 standard, and I work with NLP, which entails a lot more detail than just talking about relations: they are first class citizens (subjects) in a graph, not just labeled arcs. I spoke about them here [1]

there's probably some optimization that you can do, but you can't know that the second frame isn't the conclusion to a move from 10 frames ago that is what reveals a giant area.

frame 0: open door
frame 10: still can't see past edge of door
frame 11: door opens enough to see big new area

between 10 and 11 it turns out there's a huge difference, even though they're only two frames apart.

If you're a junior or senior who asks why, you're screwed. That's my experience.
My first "real" job was at a computer store in a small college town (doing ISP tech support). A competitor sprang up that called themself "Christian Computer Store". Needless to say, they didn't last long.
Well, obviously don't get me started on psychological classification and diagnostic criteria. Those only work because a trained practicing psychologist can tell the difference between the ordinary form and the pathological form of those criteria (subjectively and through experience); in the hands of a layman they might as well be a recipe for hypochondria.

The real question someone is asking when they ask "am I in a cult" is not about whether you can mark your religion as "cult" on your taxes. The question is "am I in danger of harm", and it is better to ask yourself that question directly -- is there sexual or physical abuse among the members; is there a financial obligation; does the group engage in abusive punishments or penalties. If it does those things who cares if it's a cult or not; get the hell out!

For the soccer team analogy a simple colloquial reading is fine -- "delegitimizes former members" : "quitters" -- "paranoid about the outside world" : "refs are crooked" -- "shame cycles" : well, that one is pretty bad, but it is not unusual for people to get significant personal gratification and the respect of your teammates for excellent performance, and to feel shame for failures.

Sure, subjectivity is part of it too. But if you're looking for diagnostic criteria in that list, you have to implicitly add "in a cult-like manner" to all of the criteria, and rely on the common subjective understanding of what a "cult" is to determine if they apply.
Information security incidence response, blue team mostly... It's been a stressful past decade or so getting phone calls when they know we're going to be dealing with stuff the next day (Such as last night at around 10pm right as I was getting to bed), but on the flipside I've kind of developed a very thick skin for these types of things and it's kind of the most multidisciplinary thing I could imagine doing in anything in information technology as you have to know such a broad range of things (Networking, programming, sysadmin, scripting for windows and *nix, huge gamut of knowledge breadth for mastery in this field). Was just discussing with my partners how you just have to kind of enter a zen mode of realizing someone's trying to mess with you personally and get into the fight on a level where they don't get the upper hand, it's very much as close as you can get to properly fighting people on the internet, and I like being good at that.
It's out of Better Call Saul,yeah.
Yes, on a bluetooth keyboard. I downloaded something similar to keymapper back in the day, the only paid app that I've purchased for android, and even it wasn't able to get any bluetooth keyboards to play nicely.

I'll try this out. Thanks again.
I think by the non-soft bits (I don't know what simple means) of your definition, Erlang, java, c#, go would be considered "scripting languages", which I think would be a hard sell.

Anyways I don't mean to take away from your work;. It looks very cool.
Not knowing about other options is neither a choice nor does it enable you to choose: if you don't have options, you cannot choose. If you don't know about options you theoretically would have, you don't have them and you cannot make a choice, because a choice requires more than one possible outcome.

If you don't share that understanding, we don't have enough common ground to communicate.
How is it "degenerate"?
Personally, I've put very crummy code out there, and I don't regret it. People generally don't see the code, they see a working product.

At my current place of work, we did a stroll through my github at the interview, I just flat out told "these are terrible, I learnt a lot" and he said "yeah, I saw, but it worked, what would you like to talk about?" and I found one of the more recent projects (still crummy, but you're allowed to write crummy code on your own time!)
I'm saying that he overestimated how quickly our society would adapt to the possibilities created by technology. Companies are not abstract entities, but the rituals aren't decided upon democratically. Companies are run like medieval fiefdoms where a small group of people at the top rules by fiat over the company. This problem would be much easier to solve under cooperative ownership model where such decisions can be made collectively be the people doing the work.
Most of us at the end of the day don’t care, certainly not enough to keep track of a leaderboard of this site LMAO.

As I said, use a burner, post and move on. Let the haters do their thing.
It is absolutely correct to say reversing a transaction is a classic source of fraud.

Errors made should always be reversed by a separate transaction for an audit trail.
This is a phenomenon I only learned about recently. A few indie games I've played recently have CRT options, like Loop Hero. I don't know how close it gets to the IRL effect but it's really cool.
How do you prevent insider trading? Does your regulation account for that? For example how would you prevent an high ranking NASA employee who knows and/or influences the decision of a moon landing from misusing the platform?
No, it's about something much more significant than what word you use.

The concept of privilege is often linked with attempts to correct for privilege by giving advantages to underprivileged people (which is equivalent to giving a disadvantage to those labelled privileged).

And when someone does that, but incorrectly classifies underprivileged people as privileged, they end up giving disadvantages to underprivileged people.

So when someone assumes all white people are privileged, they're facilitating discrimination against people who are white, but nonetheless underprivileged (for a variety of other reasons).

You say "I would have hoped you and your minority friends all had the same opportunities, at least relative to ability" but you must realize that isn't the case. Surely you've heard that most universities admit black and Hispanic students with significantly lower qualifications than white students (even if the students lived in the same neighborhood and went to the same schools). Surely you've seen employment applications that ask what race you are, but not what class you are, when seeking to increase "diversity".
This article went from "everyone was stressed during the pandemic" to "everyone actually has complex PTSD now" alarmingly fast.

The author writes as though they're in a bubble with other extremely-online people. People who can't unplug from the 24/7 news feed and instead adopt the world's stresses on to themselves, manifesting as a never-ending cycle of stress and doom:

> The thing that made me wonder the most about what burnout might actually be, in terms of a diagnostic definition, was when we headed back into winter in 2020 after a summer of lockdown, before vaccines were rolled out, and my friends and colleagues started expressing a relationship to time and the future that alarmed me. They began talking about the future as if it didn’t exist, as if their imaginative powers were gone. There was no future, there was only this moment, this week, this day, and getting through it. We could be stuck here forever was the vibe at large.

I hope it goes without saying that this author is not qualified to be diagnosing themself or their peers with C-PTSD as defined by the ICD-11. We should all be cautious against articles trying to apply serious mental health issues to broad swaths of the general population. Furthermore, it's not really fair to people suffering from severe PTSD or C-PTSD to start watering down these terms such that everyone has the same condition.

I don't think we're doing anyone a favor by redefining everything as trauma these days. The pandemic was more stressful than average and many people certainly did acquire trauma through the loss of loved ones and other extreme events. However, if we're getting to the point that merely existing through the pandemic is a traumatic experience producing C-PTSD, the real issue likely lies in one's inability to handle stress and unplug from the 24/7 news cycle.
I’m replying only because I worked at Tellme, and I’m happy other people remember it still! :)
This is pure PR fluff. if a company you dont already know says they have an aerospike engine, you should already be skeptical. a 3D printed one? Ok now you know its bunk. a small deep dive proves that.
What Z-Library and similar systems offer is a relief from the tremendous deadweight losses of a legacy and increasingly inexcusable private copyright regime, one which has been tremendously expanded over the lifetime of many of the works presently alleged to be infringing.

As Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz has written, knowledge is a global public good.[1] And public goods inevitably result in market failure. Information and markets simply don't work.

The classic way to pay for public goods is through a tax, or tax-like, general assessment, preferably indexed by income or household wealth.

As I've noted several times here recently,[2] the $9 billion in annual bookstore sales[3] could be met with a $5.25 per month fee for a typical U.S. household, or an 0.1% income tax basis (say, rolled into your broadband access charge).

This would provide compensation equal to all current book sales, and avoid both the deadweight losses of information access denial of the present system as well as the Federal Crime of Letting People Read by which the so-called US Justice system assassinated Aaron Swartz.[4]

As jl2618 recently noted,[5] Criminalisation of digital distribution was only legislated in 2008 as 17 USC 506 (again in the U.S.), under Public Law 110--403:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/506

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-110publ403/pdf/PLAW...

A small, progressive, integrated fee would address the grossly specious complaint that "authors must be paid".

Yes, pay them, and decriminalise knowledge access.

I've noted much of this before, including:

"A Modest Proposal: Universal Online Media Payment Syndication" (2014) <https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/1uotb3/a_modes...> (I've since suggested that broadband service providers act as the gateway for revenue collection.)

That's what building out a new ecosystem looks like. Not every single person in the world needs to spend their building CRUD REST APIs and doing GAAP accounting.

Not ever person in the world needs to work on trying to totally reinvent things either. But the idea that something is wrong because it's different than what already exists is ridiculous. It's literally Larry David looking at the wheel in the commercial and saying "seems pointless".

It's a complete failure of imagination.

When in doubt, fail safely. Always.

There is no way to be sure the date in question is or is not important. In that case, instead of giving someone a lifetime exposure to ionizing radiation, or pausing the respirator because the last time the person took a breath is in the distant future, it's better to crash right away so a person can figure out what to do.
