(wazero contributor) thanks for the analysis. certainly dependency pain is something we hear about, as well as lack of maintenance on alternatives. Some don't release at all or rarely, and many break api constantly. We also break api, but then again we aren't 1.0 yet.

wrt performance, we do watch it closely, but we've not done benchmarks vs non-default settings in other runtimes. It is the case that the tradeoff of avoiding dependencies means any optimizing JIT would have to be written to make long running things faster over time... no one has contributed this, yet, and more folks are looking at short lived despite it being the case interpreters are a great example of long lived.

Concretely, we do keep track of relative performance (literally each commit in fact), and it isn't uncommon to find PRs including perf before/after.

here are some pointers if interested in digging in! there are certainly some things we'd lose at.

I also walk very frequently, play Pokemon Go quite a bit, and lift weights daily usually with chalk. As a result, my fingertips are often pretty burned and dry, and it is often not possible to take a fingerprint

How vigorously are you playing Pokemon that it's rubbing off your fingerprints?

Or is "playing Pokémon" a euphemism for some other activity?

Nice suggestion! How should that behave on mobile? Any idea on how to best tackle it?
Following the argument that the biggest problem is natural language understanding, I wonder what happens when you put in some GPT3-like model, give it all relevant context like past conversations, other user information, etc. That should be much more capable in understanding what the user wants than current systems.

There are obviously still many open research questions. Like how this is then combined with actually performing the commands. But there are also solutions to this.

This is still somewhat open active research. But given such powerful models, I think in principle we could make such devices much more useful.
It works with European and North American hardwoods so it could probably be applied to other species as well.
Well, the videos are pushing the "genius mountain girl" thingy hard.

But I think showing helpers for target audience might've had reverse problem, people would assume just because some man shows up in the shots that they were the ones doing the hard part, even if they were in the end just "unskilled helpers", which sadly happens in many male-dominated industries where woman is automatically assumed to be less skilled or getting help.

It's often because those gurus and their articles are swallow and empty. They show the surface, but don't understand the topic, and are thus unable to tour around it's deeper parts and point on specific parts hidden from plain sight, which we are all searching for. And even worse, mostly all of them are writing literally the same, copying from each other, recapturing the always same swallow parts in their own words and images and always moving the same gear.

This is ok if you are new to a topic yourself. But after you've learned the first layers, it's become harder to find something new with substantial value. And thus, you are unsatisfied.
Yes, this is literally the case from grade school all the way into college level technical writing courses. The first paragraph, or first section depending on the length of the work, should essentially be a high level summary of the entire work. I remember in middle school we were also taught to write our paragraphs this way, that is, the first sentence should be a gestalt of the entire paragraph. The conclusion of each paragraph, and also the conclusory paragraph itself, is also supposed to have this behavior to some extent.

It took me quite a few years to realize how dry, boring, and repetitive this makes your writing, and I now choose to write as I talk. Might make for worse documentation, but it's far better for conversing with other people either in real time or in back-and-forths via email.
I know it's possible to obtain ECC by sacrificing your RAM capacity. Tesla cards also does this in previous generations.

>Then again, many have opted out of owning desktops and laptops in favor of mobile phones. That also seems terribly inefficient

A lot of people don't need computers in the general purpose sense. I admit my mind boggles a bit when co-workers tell me their kids don't want a computer to do their school papers because their phone is fine. But, then, I'm used to keyboards and what we think of as a "computer" and have been using one for decades--and grab one when I can for any remotely complex or input-heavy task.
Isn't this the most trivial and minor of conveniences? Wouldn't it take roughly the same amount of time to pick up your phone and type that? Don't you feel the least bit uncomfortable that the trade-off for that is that a tech giant gets a 24/7 audio feed into your and your family's home?

Boggles the mind.

> And what _we_ have here is unfounded indignation over a perfectly fine way to solve a problem

Absolutely no way is this a fine way to solve the problem. That is crazy talk.

1. It introduces additional toolchains into the solution when it is unnecessary.

2. It now means you need multiple language specialists to maintain it and associated communications and context switching.

3. More interfaces and integration means more fragility when it comes to debugging, problem solving as well as increasing the problem surface.

4. It massively increases the dependency stack which means there are now multiple sets of supply chain issues and patching required.

This makes no problems easier at all! It's even a bad last resort if that's all you have left to try.

Sound software architecture is very very well defined and this is definitely not it. I have seen entire companies burn by taking this approach to problem solving.

I'm really getting tired of solutions before problems and this is a fundamental example of it. Give us a real use case not manufacture a problem for it.
> I watched a show where a reporter tried exactly that. She wasn't able to find a woman who was willing to talk. The only ones who were willing to share their version of the story were powerful men.

Maybe because the historic low interest of women in football + a small population (~330,000 Qataris) would be the result of this?

> Ok, but why does such a country then have to bribe the FIFA, so they will bring in the world cup, when it is known that the country does not agree with the idea of sportsmanship?

First of all, Qatar won the case fair and square, with incredible preparations and infrastructure, that we are seeing in action right now in the world cup.

Seconndly, the hell gays have to do with sportsmanship?

> Usually I'd say, just create your own anti-gay sports event and leave the existing ones alone, but at this point, I say, the West should pull completely out of the FIFA, ban them from their stadions and form a new football association with modern standards. The FIFA can then move on to host the next "World Cup" in North Korea if they want.

This is how much the breaking of the western controlled presentation of sport annoys you?

Sports are for everyone, not just for a part of the world or the other.
Or, you know, a retiree with a penchant for forestry and gardening. All it takes is interest, just look at the community of people obsessed with grafting or other botanical pursuits.
Yeah. I did CTRL-F on that and it found no relevant references to the word “referendum” or “7 years”.

If you could point me to the section I’d appreciate it. Not saying you’re wrong; just that I can’t seem to find it easily and it’s not referenced outside a lot either.

Looks to me like HTML statuses are part of the federation protocol.

In fact, there's an issue[0] indicating that the sanitizer of the reference implementation doesn't allow Markdown to federate. There is also an old status indicating that even if more elements are added, the reference CSS basically strips everything (I assume visually)[1].

Nope ;)
Depends on -

1. Your skills - Why? - How much you need to spend on Human resource? to reach PMF

2. Real dependancy on you of your family - Is your wife working/side passive income etc so you can ditch your job

3. Your Startup/Product Idea & how much time will it take to reach MVP and ramen profitable -

4. Your family's willingness to *sacrifice social pressure*. - Scarifying lifestyle/current standard of living is hard, more harder is to get rid of "What other people/social circle of your family will tell/think" of the new lifestyle,

5. Opportunity cost of doing job (or leaving job).

Most of people have hesitation of leaving job, so exact decision you only need to take (or not take).

Advice - Don't regret on whatever decision you take.

Let's say if you stick to job and same idea/product someone else become big big, No need to regret and vice versa.

They have it because IRA was willing to kill a lot of people to get it.

This is a part of the so-called Good Friday Agreement which was signed in 1998 after Northern Irish nationalists fought a 30 year war against the British state with an ultimate goal of becoming a part of Ireland instead.
Actually, it seems that google is now able to cope with things a bit better. I've just tried and I can now ask for "how long left on my 45-minute timer?" and it does finally answer. It actually also shows up in the UI. That is sort of recent, though, as I've had that problem earlier this year. It seems that siri is now unable to set multiple timers, though.

Anyway, it does seem to have improved, but I wonder why that stuff wasn't in from day one. It seems pretty obvious to me.
Where have you been the last decade? Journos haven't been impartial since the sixties.
Neither the Empty Base Class nor [[no_unique_address]] give C++ Zero Size Types. The [[no_unique_address]] attribute is a way to achieve something empty base classes were useful for without the accompanying problems, so that's nice, but it's not ZSTs.

Can you say whether you genuinely thought C++ had ZSTs? And if so, how you came to that conclusion ?

IRL there are plenty of people trained for violence that go about treating other people alright & managing not to inflict violence on others over minor things.

Otherwise the tldr: author doesn’t have fun when game mechanics allow actions that don’t match the narrative. Or I guess when the narrative interrupts gameplay in some way? I don’t know, author gives no examples.

That’s fine, don’t play them. But when other people have fun playing them it’s not apologizing. I don’t quite even know what that’s supposed to mean, and the author doesn’t explain much or give an example.
Seconded. I realize this is (probably as a direct consequence!) a contentious position, but I'm concerned that Wikileaks is as much an arm of an imperialist state actor as Russia's Internet Research unit. And, like it, a more effective weapon than the actual deteriorating military of the state… and accordingly in heavy, aggressive use.

Since I'm not interested in seeing Russia win anything but 'best dubtechno the world will ever see' I'm not interested in seeing Wikileaks prosper. It's a bit of a litmus test to me: I'm suspicious of anyone who passionately supports something like it, or 'Q', and so on. It is of great importance to the Russian imperialist effort.
This would be more convincing if you could cite an article/comment along the lines of "SBF is gambling with depositors cash".

Nick has been a prolific writer as long as I have known him. This is some great, esoteric stuff, about fans. I have used case fans in unusual applications not involving a computer but never went deeper than provide sufficient power that it spins full speed. For my own builds, I usually just plugged the fan in without a second thought.
I like the "Ideal number of clicks" criteria. Adds an additional challenge, and increases replayability.
I also really enjoyed this more recent post by the same guy:

https://samkriss.substack.com/p/welcome-to-hell

Basically he makes the argument (I think slightly tongue in cheek) that Twitter is analogous to a certain understanding of the Christian Hell, in that it's not a form of suffering you're condemned to, but a form of suffering you actively seek out. More deep social media commentary, but there's also some interesting tidbits in there about different theories of Hell, from ancient Chinese grave inscriptions to CS Lewis.

"Everyone acts as if the problem with Twitter is the other people, and the agony of having to look at their terrible opinions, but they keep saying the truth. Hellsite hellsite hellsite. The problem is you. The problem with Twitter is that you are a demon in Hell."

I think it's worthwhile to be precise when we argue. Saying it's not stealing isn't necessarily saying it's harmless or that it's not illegal. It's just not the same sort of action.

Eg, if you steal a book from a shelf, then it's gone. The shop can no longer sell it to anyone else, and needs to obtain a replacement. The customer that really need it may not be able to get it now.

But if a 10 year old from a dirt poor family with $100 to their name downloads a whole library of technical literature worth $10M, it's a very different situation. I think it's very arguable that there was no scenario in which the authors would have gotten paid, and that no real harm has been done in this particular case.
This is part of the reason Google search sucks more and more.

Around when Android appeared, and the first voice searches began, Google suddenly started to alias everything.

Search for 'Andy', 'Andrew' appears. Search for 'there', and 'they're' appears.

This has been taken further, now silly aliases such as debian .. ubuntu exist, and as google happily drops words in your search, to find a match, this makes precision impossible.

But, that's the only way to make voice search remotely work, so...
This could be wrongly understood as "Japan wood industry doesn't cut down trees", which is false.

Japanese forests are currently suffering an intense demand and are overexploited.

A large part of the cuts are undeclared or under-declared, and clear cuts are not rare.

Undeclared overexploitation of mountain top forests has been one of the determined causes of some catastrophic landslides a couple of years ago.

@dang would it be possible to update the title in order to convey the meaning that it is one fabulous technique used in Japan, without letting believe that it is the technique used in Japan?
Oh, I have. :-)

I'm not saying these situations are impossible. But you can work towards reducing when they arise. If everyone needs to change the same file, then it sounds like something should be refactored (it's probably a quite big file as well?).

If every error needs to go to the same error enum, that sounds like an error enum that might benefit from being split up.

And if every change needs to write to a common changelog file, I would personally find a new way to produce that changelog.

If it's that big a painpoint, then I would look into different ways to get around it.
That’s the reality… become friends with your neighbors and if anything bad happens you can work together. Good to do in any case.

I also don’t think people will be as violent after the first 3-4 weeks without water or food. Simply put, those who collaborate have a higher likelihood of survival. There’s only so much you can steal.

If / when this situation arises be prepared and it’ll give you a buffer to survive longer. Have the skills to keep surviving after that and make friends who do as well. Make a plan to meet said friends. That’s really all you can do. It increases your odds
Then it was me who was confused, thanks for the correction :)

You could do a hex tile version as well
Does anyone know if there are high-heat-resistant PC fans (and at what temperatures normal PC fans will melt)? The only fans I can find that claim to be heat-resistant are the Noctua Industrial PPC series which, aside from not being cheap at $33/piece are "only" heat-resistant up to 140C and the airflow isn't crazy high - subjectively the ones I've got feel like they move substantially less air than a standard diesel heater blower fan.

Ideally I'd be interested in something that's >180C resistant but if there are any other options around say 140C max then I'd also be interested.
I would have suggested having 2 zones per tile: one to rotate left, one to rotate right. But the tap zone is quite small already, so it's prone to errors.

One slower but more UX-friendly option would be to allow long-press on a tile, it would zoom in, and you can pick left or right with each button.

Double tap is also an option but you need to remove the ability to select the content of the page.
One thing bad is the word 'class'. What it is supposed to even mean? It was some fancy concept by stupid Normen when defining Simula. My Simula teacher said that you could just translate it as "design" as in "design of car and its implementation".

Anyways Python's "class" is even worse:

class c: a=10
print c.a
c.a=13
print c.a

I cannot think any English word to replace the "class". The word I am thinking of could be translated as "box". "Box of things and improved versions of it".
I think that's generally true though playing music is a little more freeform. (And, guess what? Voice assistants tend to be worse at that.)

The problem is that you have many many billions of dollars have been sunk into making these devices about more than setting alarms and timers. There's actually been a lot of pretty amazing progress. But it's yet another one of those things that getting to 90% to anyone but techies who want to fiddle with their smarthome stuff or otherwise play with the technology.
Agreed. I program in CL and other languages too. I find Java developers tend to have a stronger understanding of OOP and that might be behind your insight. For all its benefits, it feels like at times many CL users miss the point of OOP.

CLOS itself is great, however the decoupling of data and methods is something at times I find leads to harder to understand code.
