People are definitely different and that people want choice has definitely been correct for a long time. But I'm noticing it not only in me, but with people around me -- they're just tired from dealing with choosing from 100 different things when they only need 3. Especially because most of them are the same. The internet has made this worse than ever. Companies like Apple have shown this is possible - they basically tell the user "this is what you need" and people accept it and it's worked.
Oh yay nvidia car. The firmware is locked down and it costs 150% more every generation.
Amid all this sudden blockchain skepticism, one question remains prominent in my mind: where were all these skeptics when blockchain enthusiasm was on the rise?

Sure, hindsight is 20/20, but you have to wonder if this chorus of I-toldya-so's were genuinely right, or if they are merely rewriting history to boost their own credibility.

Blockchain was always experimental. The chance of success on any given project was always slim, but the potential payoff huge. So, putting anything more than what you are willing to lose is reckless.
I have no idea how it's implemented in North America, but from what I can tell, there's a big emphasis on kids making their own planning. My kids are terrible at planning (no surprise to me), so they receive help with that.

Of course being part of the Dutch educational system, they have to follow the same rules, meet the same criteria and receive the same funding as other schools. I've been told that their approach is somewhere halfway between true Montessori and a regular school.

You could say the same thing about chip fabs or large mines. I'd say chip fabs face even more uncertainty. While baseload electricity will always be in demand, in the chip industry your 3 billion $ fab could be completed at the bottom end of boom-bust cycle and lead you into bankruptcy.
> I can't imagine there's a data scientist alive who could devise an algorithm that accurately, reliably predicts "kind of a good match but not really", given only some limited inputs (basic info + photos).

One approach would be to make the problem easier, just preferentially match people with a partner who is known to have short relationships and no/few awful reviews, based on history on the site.
The concept of primary actions is the dark pattern - as a general concept, maybe it's useful to have tiers of actions by complexity, picking actions for your users is the dark pattern.

Using color to differentiate actions is OK, if you are doing styling actions those are different than, say, templating actions.

Promoting obfuscation or misdirection as good design is inexcusable.

> You could build yourself a Scheme or a Common Lisp on top of it if you wish.

No offense, but if it were Common Lisp I would take a look, but I don't have much interest in learning a one off language.

Sounds like you're having so fun, though, so good luck!
Totally agree. For a negative example see all the companies desperately trying to find sone problem for blockchain to solve.
I'm also a C developer, but I do use the more modern versions.

There are four big reasons why:

* Atomics. These are the biggest missing feature in older C.

* Static asserts. I can't tell you how much I love being able to put in a static assert to ensure that my code doesn't compile if I forget to update things. For example, I'll often have static constant arrays tied to the values in an enum. If I update the enum, I want my code to refuse to compile until I update the array. I have 20 instances of static asserts in my current project.

* `max_align_t`. It's super useful to have a type that has the maximum alignment possible on the architecture.

* `alignof()` and friends. It's super useful to get the alignment of various types. Combined with `max_align_t`, it is actually possible to safely write allocators in C. Previously, it wasn't really possible to do safely or portably. And I have at least three allocators in my current project.

You're right that C11 doesn't have nearly the reach the ANSI C does, but it does have slightly more than Rust, much more if you consider Rust's tier 3 support to be iffy, which I do.

And it does have one HUGE advantage against Rust: compile times. On my 16-core machine, I can do a full rebuild in 2.5 seconds. If I changed one file in Rust, it might take that long just to compile that one file.

That's not to say Rust is without advantages; one of my allocators is designed to give me as much of Rust's borrow checker as possible, on top of API's designed around that fact.

tl;dr: I use modern C for a few features not found in C89, for the slightly better platform support against Rust, and for the fast compiles.
In case the named web colors aren't enough, we're making excellent progress naming every color in the RGB space.

The big problem I see with combining the two types is that it means that a user must always consider that the values they're using may have passed through imprecise floating point arithmetic, so the == operator is always potentially problematic. If you divide the two out into separate types, then the user can use == on ints without any concern, and it better reminds people to be careful with floats.

I definitely wouldn't break it out into int, long, float, double, and unsigned variants. That would be too low level for this kind of language.

Could I ask what you were driving that ~50 minutes of commuting a day would lead to 200 dollars in fuel?

When I was doing the same during the pandemic, similar commute time, my car making 21ish mpg was only needing about 100 dollars in gas a month. About 10 miles with more than a dozen stop lights.
Showed BTTF and BTTF2 to my 9 year old twins a few years ago. They loved the films. Not sure what they didn't get - even the concept of alternate timelines seemed fairly well absorbed.
That's a great explanation, but it's also worth adding that the City of London was the only city mentioned[0] in Magna Carta, which stated:

"the City of London shall have all its ancient liberties by land as well as by water"

These liberties being "ancient" even in 1215 AD means they date back to "time immemorial"[1] (that is, before 1189 AD) and thus their exact nature is not known. As such, replacing the legal basis for the City would likely have contravened or at least complicated the interpretation of that foundational document.

I think you're reading a "without bloodshed" into the sentence that's definitely not in there.
There are already things that solve choice, e.g. brands and reviews.

Perhaps I'd understand what you meant with an example? What products are you finding is too varied?
I'm no expert on that, but we had a bunch of senior researchers (NGO) advocate blockchain for that exact task.

I'm not going to argue against people with combined decades and decades of research and development experience in the food logistics community.

giving big exclusive contracts was a huge mistake by Disney for video games. It's easy to just sell everything to EA, but it doesn't actually result in good publicity for them, which they learned the hard way with Battlefront 2. When you have a massive IP that has tons of different periods and openings for various games, you really need to license out smaller chunks all over the place. Games Workshop is a really good model that Disney should have followed.
They may have thought viewer engagement for the shows like Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, the Netflix shows (https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/luke-cage-iron-fist-cancel...) and the execs may have assumed audiences weren't interested as they weren't tying into the movies (though this might be a part of their decision to go for churning Disney+ content like clockwork). If you browsed social media threads for those shows at the time the earlier seasons were airing, it definitely seemed that way (though this is anecdotal)

I spent decades eating animals and claiming that I loved them. You are not exposing me to new ideas. I was a carnist for decades, just like you are now. I thought the same things you did for a long time, but I slowly realized how silly and hypocritical I was being. Those books I mentioned are great introductions to the topic. The onus is on you to expose yourself to new ideas, just like I did before becoming vegan. If you choose to ignore the resources that folks point you to, that's on you. Good luck, and please consider leaving animals off the menu. For their sake.

Why CVE-2022-3602 was not detected by fuzz testing
Git requires a human to resolve conflicts, a blockchain comes to a majority consensus. But yeah, I would use git and try to automate conflict resolution but it stands to reason blockchain can also solve the problem. If you have 10 people live-editing a text content git will be messy for example but you can come to a consensus on agreeing who made what changes and when between participants (assume p2p connection).
I don't know if I accept the premise. I've been hearing that "blockchain is a solution in search of a problem" critique as long as I've heard about blockchains. I think that during a hype cycle, the hype is what gets signal boosted so you see a lot more "here's how blockchains are going to solve X" content than you do content repeating for the millionth time that the blockchain doesn't actually solve the problem any better than a database would.
The article is pretty short and it mainly says that it is due gas content. The amount of gas seems to be dependent on the presence of certain gut bacteria.

According to the study, naturally about half of the population of mice produce floaters. When you collect stool samples of that half and inject it on the other half, they also start producing floaters. On the other hand, when you sterelize the gut of the floater group, they start producing feces that sink.

Fat content seems not to be related.
Important to note that wealth doesn't improve your character; it simply amplifies who you already are.
Lately I arrived to the hypothesis that our minds are nothing else than an illusion. Of course, a very useful one.

Why? Because I can draw an analogy to a video game character with some shocking sucess.

DISCLAIMER: I just like to overthink this for fun, I am no scientist and I am not affirming facts, just throwing some idea around at the end of my workday. :)

If you play games, think on a first-person shooter (FPS). When you embody a character on those games, it has a certain "amount of life" that can be drained or filled. If you take too much damage you die.

In case another character is shooting at me, most modern games will give you several hints that you should pay attention to take action and save yourself: the character's vision can start to fade, the sounds starts getting muffled and you will get visual hints from where you might have been getting your shots from. If you hide yourself, after some time you will start to recover your "life bar". You normally get a positive visual hint that tells you that.

Same for NPCs: if you shoot at them, their "life bar" will decrease and, if the game as a good ~AI~, the NPC will try to save themselves: hide, flank you, whatever.

Now think about our human brain and how we learned in recent years how our dopamine neurotransmitter works: it is a neurotransmitter that modulates both our "pleasure" and "pain" sensations, among many other things. If we do things that are very bad for us, we feel "pain" and we learn we shouldn't do more of those. Opposite is also true: if we do things that are nice for us, it makes us learn to do more of that.

Why those negative or positive hints we see in our screens when playing such shooter games wouldn't be conceptually the same as what we experience as human beings? When I play such games I can see superb image quality and simulated human behavior, and all that is running in a hardware just in front of my eyes with some shiny RGBs.

Why the pain I feel "in reality" would be any different than the "pain" experienced by those virtual characters? Both have the purpose to push the organism, virtual or real, to perform certain actions.

Perhaps we will discover soon that our minds are nothing but a well-constructed illusion that is being created by our brains when we're awaken. Which is nothing short of just amazing, by the way.

It's not clear to me if txtai reaches out to the internet for all these queries. I assume it does and processes much of this in the cloud. That probably makes it a non-starter for much of my work. I do wonder, however, since their API docs talk a little about cloud options (making me wonder if non-cloud is the default). But, it's not immediately obvious to me.
That also requires ~30 million Japanese, without which you might end up with a very different city.

Start with Foley & van Dam to lay the groundwork & terms of art, then grab whatever API tutorial you like and get started. You'll find plenty of further resources once you're more familiar with the field and start discovering your interests. Graphics programming is a seriously deep discipline and will take years of study to start doing real work in. But it's a super cool field with plenty of work on both the research & practical implementation sides.

>A kid in a garage can build a financial primitive on top of a “blue chip” and the “blue chip” builder doesn’t have to worry (vis a vis bugs).

I get that a "blue chip" is supposed to be a big brand (at least that's how I hear the term often used?) but what does it mean to "build a financial primitive" and how does it relate to this (presumably third-party) blue chip brand?
On price - you are looking at low quantity. Buy a few million of them from a manufacturer, and you will find the 5% ones still significantly cheaper (even at standard temp coefficients and power levels). That's why new 5% and 10% resistor products are still sold.
If you can tie these to automated alerts that's great. But there's no need to automate everything, "Do things that don't scale".

I make these comments searchable (they always start with "# TODO: "). And then once a month (or when you're bored) you can go through these and reevaluate them.

Yes, it's a non-scaleable manual process. And I absolutely don't care because it takes less than 30 minutes each month. No amount of effort invested in automation will ever pay off, so I'm pretty happy to do it manually.

I would love these TODO comments to automatically create issues in Github so that we could also discuss these, but unfortunately all of the Github Actions I've tried fail miserably when lines are moved or comments are edited.
C provides the only stable ABI for Rust, and changes to the C++ ABI may also occur in the future. So the implications of new C standards for library code are especially relevant.
No, most people in NYC are not commuting 2-3 hours each way. That's insane to say.

I know a couple people who have done it -- living in deep Brooklyn far from the subway and teaching in the Bronx, or living deep in Staten Island and commuting to the Upper East Side -- but it is extremely uncommon.

The average NYC commute is 40 minutes. And only 10% of NYC workers have a commute longer than 60 minutes. [1]

Everywhere? I can't think of a single (or at least memorable) time I've heard blockchain and there wasn't at least someone who was skeptical.
Wong made a friend. He’s also been the butt of jokes in every male protagonist marvel film with him in it. This is the most I’ve enjoyed his character in a while.

Matt had a good time and then they made a casual joke that you’re reading far too much into.

Regarding Bruce, they had to short circuit her origin story. Nobody wants to see her go through the exact same motions.

Regardless, it seems the show was not your cup of tea. That’s fine.

There’s plenty of straight men out there who enjoyed it, and we have enough shows pandering to our male egos that having one fun show focused on a woman isn’t going to upset my balance of whatever it is you think one must get from a show.
What kills each of these occasionally popping up alternative messengers for me is the lack of usage by my actual social network. As long as people use WhatsApp, I will have to use it, too. And since I got everyone there, why install another app? I have too many apps already.

Literally here, in every single thread to the chagrin of the enthusiasts whose defining identity became "you just don't get it, man". Blockchain stuff, by anyone who didn't have a vested financial interest in it has always been called out for what it is.

If you store much data at all, for most any purpose, having ZFS versus not having it is like developing software with source control, compared with life before source control.

The main benefits without going nuts with some features you probably don't want on a workstation with anything short of crazy-high specs (mainly de-duplication, it eats lots of memory) are that it:

1) tells you when data has been corrupted even if the disk isn't erroring (and tells you exactly what was damaged)

2) has lightweight snapshots (it's copy-on-write so snapshots basically only cost the difference between the snapshot and either the next snapshot or the current FS) with a very handy access model (you can read from snapshots at will, as if they were a live FS) so you can snapshot before risky file operations and have an easy way to revert without having to go to backups; and

3) Makes various types of disk-pooling and RAID available purely in software.

It also provides a common UI to all this across multiple operating systems, so there's less per-platform trivia to remember if you work cross-OS a lot.

However, the UI is obtuse enough that it's firmly power-user-only, and a fairly advance power user at that.
In comparison, we have a 1600 sq ft home and only have $50 USD gas bills lately. It's definitely been higher (at least double), but we've been learning to live with a colder thermostat.

Granted this is the US, and natural gas is considerably cheaper here than in a lot of countries in Europe right now, so you probably need to at least double what I said anyway for Europe.

You might need to define the exact period when it was "on the rise", but as far as I've seen, in the last six or seven years they (we) have been very vocal and all over the place - including on this very site.
Maintenance. If you want new features and bug fixes, you will either pay upfront with a high sticker price or pay overtime via subscription.

Subscriptions also make software more affordable for those breaking into industries. I, along with many peers, pirated Photoshop for years. That’s not necessary when I can get Creative Suite for $10 per month. It’s actually been free for me for the past couple years because I upload stock photos.

Both Adobe and the consumer come out ahead in a world where the consumer doesn’t have to pirate software.
