Frankly, being extraordinary -- in the dictionary sense of being exceptionally special and remarkable, let's say being in the top 1% -- is something of a young person's conceit.

We all dream of making it to the top at one point or another. Nearly everyone fails to get there.

Early in life other people will indulge your fixation on this because you're young, but most of them aren't extraordinary either, so as you age, their patience with it grows thin. If you cling to a fixation on being extraordinary it will ultimately isolate you and tear you apart psychologically.

Fortunately there is an alternative which some discover as time passes. It is infinitely more powerful and useful than worrying about whether you're extraordinary or not, and will propel you to heights you never realized you could achieve.

The alternative is to compare yourself today only to who you were yesterday, and focus on always pursuing new personal bests.

By putting in the time and staying focused you can become uncannily good at almost anything this way. Far better than most people, and grinding out one little win at a time is surprisingly satisfying.

Will it make you the best? I don't know. This tactic is surely some part of how the best got to where they are. I doubt I am the best at anything but I have not bothered to check. In the end it doesn't really matter, you are able to become great and be happy, and that is more than enough.

Because of the policy, games with under short but high quality gameplay are getting hit with refunds. If the playtime is under 2 hours, the refund request goes through with very minimal abuse protection. I've seen people try to do speedrun where the goal is to finish the game in under 2 hours and get a refund. Publishing a short but high production value game on Steam has become a lot less profitable.

Not to mention that the refund policy can be useless as the playtime includes load screens when the server is busy, which happens regardless of the studio size.

That being said, I do believe that the refund policy improved sales volume overall because people buy games knowing that they can always refund if the game isn't for them. Return of the demos I guess?

Realistically all European civilizations and their offshoots are descendants of Rome to one degree or another. This same area is also in certain circumstances known as "Christendom" and at least part of the reason Christianity was able to spread as wide as it did is that it was the official religion of the Roman Empire by the 3rd century AD.

From here the entirety of Europe, the Americas, large swathes of Africa, and many nations in the South Pacific carry on traditions descended directly from this legacy.

There is obviously a lot of variation within these societies but I would argue that the core beliefs of the people within them are noticeably and identifiably "Christian" even if these people no longer believe in God or engage with the bible in any significant way.

Which is why the audio of VHF Channel 6 (audio carrier on 87.75 MHz) is clearly audible on an analog-tuned FM radio. I remember my mom keeping a radio in the bathroom for listening to KWTX for the morning news and the first part of the Today Show as she got ready. She thought they had intentionally rebroadcast the audio on the radio.

This of course has gone away with digital TV.
I don't really find this suspicious. It would probably be better for him legally if they found a way to raise the funds to keep FTX solvent. He has also already stated the SEC killed his attempts to save FTX. [1]

I think it's critically important to consider by which method such material was created.

By the putting of pencil to paper, entirely from the imagination of some feeble mind ? Whatever, it's not for me, and I'd maybe piss on it for a lot of reasons, but not from a point of some moral superiority.

Something created from actual abuse of real, living beings, or using such material as a reference, that's beyond the question of morality, that's beyond criticism of art, that's ethically wrong and should not enter into a discussion of art, and the police be informed.
Ok, fair, we use cloud products in those cases. Nginx, depending on what modules that are used. Like Openresty and so on can be complicated. But there are plenty of people out there that knows how admin it.

Forced OS upgrades should be regulated. Microsoft, Google and other operating system vendors should not be using dark patterns to "encourage" upgrades when users aren't paying attention.
Adding a search to the start menu is huge and completely changed how I use it -- I almost never do anything besides hit the Windows key and start typing a search query. Besides that, the way nested menus worked was frustrating and I'd frequently waste time doing things I didn't intend trying to navigate them.
There are no degrees of wrong think. I think you think wrong about wrong think.
It's not super clear whether the training task can be scaled in a manner similar to protein folding. It's a bit trickier to optimise ML workflows across computation nodes because you need more real time aggregation and decision making (for the algorithms).
Hard disagree. The java concurrency story was absolutely awful when it came out. It had terrible ideas which panned out as well as checked exceptions did, and got forgotten when the collections were reworked. The only things it had going for it were showing concern and a well defined memory model, but that was broken until JSR 133.

Java concurrency got a lot better with JSR 166, by accreting new APIs. But those require awareness of their existence and purpose, the langage baseline is no better.

Project loom does not fundamentally change any of that. It’s goal is to increase efficiency, aka get more wrong answers faster.

I would say that it is hard to justify calling any nation where the majority religion is not Christianity (or Christianity that overtime has converted to Christian Atheism/Agnosticism) a descendant of Rome.

As a predominantly Islamic country, I would argue this precludes the Ottomans from being considered a continuation of Rome.

"Artificially-generated CSAM" is a misnomer, since it involves no actual sexual abuse. It's "simulated child pornography", a category that would include for example paintings.

Keep trying to find a real thinking person to talk to. Eventually you may get someone who will actually look into the issue. It often takes multiple attempts, and usually you'll have to dig for that contact info. For example I once lost access to a company facebook page. There was no official way to recover it or contact a human, but I created a Facebook ads account, and was able to get support there to look into it and get the page recovered.
the way that the art of memory talks about tables and charts as mnemonic devices changed my view on note taking forever.

That sounds horrifying though. Instead of captcha, a user now has to navigate a random website and a payment processor to obtain access.
So much potential to be on the hook for shady transactions just to let an email through.
While that's valid, I want to point out that Steam accepts a wide variety of local payment methods that have exorbitant transaction fees compared to Visa. Pretty sure I've seen them cover a particular payment method with 10% fee. Steam takes 15% for big publishers I think and that's not a large profit margin in those scenarios. A lot of younger customers do not have an international credit card and Steam makes purchasing games accessible to them.
> I really really hate the stock Windows taskbar.

Plus in Win 11, we lost the ability to put the taskbar vertically on the left or right side of the screen. When coding on a laptop, I want the max vertical screen space. Taskbar at the bottom means I see 10% less source code.

Boo Win11!
I only updated my gaming machine to Windows 11 about two weeks ago (running Mint on my work device) - and it immediately felt rather incomplete/unfinished to me.

For example, I am using 7zip for compression. In file explorer I right click a file/directory I want to compress, but the option to compress with 7zip is missing from the context menu. So I choose "more options" at the bottom of the menu, and what I get is the Win10 context menu in the old layout (different background, different font+size, etc.) - which has everything the Win11 menu has + some more stuff (including "compress with 7zip").

I wouldn't call XAML restrictive. It's been used with WPF (their previous UI toolkit) with great effect: it can handle very complex interfaces just fine (look at Visual Studio, it's been using WPF since 2010).

The issue is with their newer UI toolkit (WinUI) and the brain-dead design language they've been using along with that.

Existing systems - especially heavily ossified ones, such as academia - are the worst at rewarding exceptional novelty as described by GP. They tend to reward conformism (exceptional conformism, sure!).

If you feel like you’re reaching a glass ceiling, don’t be afraid to go outside that box. Record some lectures and put them online. Self publish a book. Start your own school. Etc. (The exact way you can color outside those lines will heavily depend on your context, but you want to be coloring outside the lines).
What am I missing here? Why is google involved with this? Normally, you contact the abuse contact in the domain's whois or the IPs abuse contact. If they are on a bullet proof host, your only avenue for a take down is government agencies. (Edit: you can also ask the RIR to reclaim the subnet but I've never heard of that actually being done for reasons I am not fully sure about)

What does google have to do with content take down? Even for delisting them from results you have other search engines people use and threat actors can and do use redirectors when that becomes an issue. It is whack-a-mole, best they can do is beat the TA's SEO unless they have a lot of time and resources.
The biggest travesty IMHO is the updated Notepad that was rewritten using the modern Win UI.

It now takes 2 seconds to start on an 8-core computer with a PCIe 4 NVMe SSD.

Oh, and a tab indent and four spaces are almost… but not identically aligned.

They’re like… one or two pixels off. With a fixed width font!

Notepad can also no longer open large text files in under a minute, whereas the Electron-based VS Code does it nearly instantly!

- science unequivocally says that - the Neanderthal men were the ancestors of the Sapiens, we have proof, we simply miss the link between Lucy and the Homo erectus and we're done, we explained everything!

Turns out there were 12, no wait 14, no wait 15, no wait 21 different species of hominids and many of them were contemporary to the sapiens and 90% of the humans bear Neanderthal DNA.

Just like there were no baby dinosaurs because we thought the smaller ones were different species.

Thanks for answering. It seems like everyone who lost money knew that they were acting against the raison d’etre of cryptocurrency and should have known better based on industry history.

You right this like people were born with some sort of innate ability, while my personal experience is that using a gas station toilet means that I have to get my bearings. I, as an adult in my mid 40's, have to actually think about which is my right and left. I also lived without a gps of any sort for most of my life: Before gps, I printed directions. Before that, I relied on maps when I could or just got lost.

A navigator of some sort means that I can make up for this shortcoming and that I can explore. It isn't perfect, but much better than my brain does on its own.

Speaking of terrible audio UX, windows constantly breaks hardware settings for multi-channel ADCs by disabling all but one channel (seems to be after most updates). Fixing it requires about a dozen clicks through many esoteric nested menus, including having to click hyperlink style text hidden on the far upper right side of a window away from the buttons. There are several audio settings pages in windows, and some of them offer no path to fixing the setting. If it's possible to reach the necessary page by searching in the start menu i have yet to find it. It's been like this for 2 years. It's astounding that working professionals would pay money for this garbage.
When stated like that, it becomes quite clear to me that we're currently living through software development dark ages. :-)

I've written some threaded ruby code in the past and in addition to what was said in this article I would like to emphasize 2 more points:

1. Every time you have a shared data structure, put a Mutex around it's usage (even in POC examples so people learn the properly). In the reproduction example line 4 you have `ids = Set.new` (the shared data structure) and on line 9 `ids << semaphores['test'].object_id`, since this is within a thread you need to put a Mutex around the push to `ids`. You can still have `semaphores['test'].object_id` outside the Mutex, assigning that to a variable and then push that to `ids` in the synchronize block to achieve the same result. If you have both inside the Mutex it would hide the presented issue.

2. Write stress tests that loop through your multithreaded code multiple times with trivial workloads; 100 times might not be enough to trigger a concurrency issue, you might need tens of thousands, or millions of iterations, or more. So don't be afraid to have the loop size configurable and just run it for a longer period of time, just to make sure. In CI you can tweak the loop size to have it running for let's say 3-5 minutes. That should make it relevant and still keep it fast/cheap enough.

Additionally, ruby now has Ractors, but still marked as experimental. These are amazing as you not only get safe parallelism (not just concurrency, true parallelism), but also data safety as a piece of data is either copied deeply, or ownership is passed to one single Ractor. Fingers crossed we see it stable soon.

You couldn't teach a human to do that without them having seen Greg's art. There are elements of stroke, palette, lightning and composition that can't be fully captured by natural language (short of encoding a ML model, which defeats the point).

They set an interest rate in line with the risk that they are taking on. It seems like a pretty unlikely scenario where Twitter is worth nothing, if it goes bankrupt there can probably be a fairly sizable sale to recoup some value.

Allowing so long for the deal to close may have been a mistake due to what happened in the market between when they agreed to terms and when the deal closed.
