For folks who evidently disagree with this, consider that DSL has another common tech meaning. More common, for quite a lot of people, who may even be programmers. Defining initialisms and abbreviations upon first use used to be a basic assumption in most writing, and in most teaching of writing. It’s probably fine to assume some knowledge based on your expected audience, but when your audience tells you it doesn’t have the knowledge you assume, it’s okay and even good to have a little humility about your mistaken assumption.
Awesome, thanks for that §8-)
That's a much better idea, thank you!
It just started doing this now? I've been using google.com/maps for years, and that isn't the canonical address?
Just like Elon.

I much prefer quiet genius of Carmack to loud self-promoting Hotz - he strikes me as a bit of BS artist but is also talented.

Carmack is working on cracking AGI, and he really thinks he might be able to make the leap that escaped others so far - but he will work on it and show something impressive like DOOM or admit it failed like Armadillo.

In the meantime, no twitch, tweets or YouTube going off on tangents.

"I believe that the current model of distributed moderation is flawed. Server admins can decide unilaterally and subjectively what the users on their instances can see. This can be an effective tool to combat spam and hate-speech. But without transparency, consistency and effective policies this can turn into a small cohort of benevolent dictators that will block you from talking with your friends because your server does not block another server that breaks some other server ToS."

I don't see the problem. Don't like how the server is run, move on to another one. The community isn't forced to stay stay on that server they way they are on centralized social media.
Interesting. Sounds like there's a passion project out there for a cryptographer who wants to help secure vintage computers.

Tesla has 68% of the electric car market, 20% of the luxury market, and 2-3% of the overall auto market. Where does your personal definition of successful begin?
The minimum wage is a limit "set from outside" and most people (besides very strict idealist Libertarians) agree that it's a generally good idea. We might disagree on minor implementation nit-picks.

I think it's a mistake to single out one single economic system: specifically unlimited, unrestrained free-market capitalism, and frame that system as the universe's base, "natural" system. Doing so conveniently lets you frame deviations from that system as "unnatural" or "autocratic". Unlimited free-market capitalism is not some natural, universal frame of reference--it is a deliberate choice made and enforced by governments/people, and that choice can be un-made by people.

We mostly agree that a minimum wage that can change with political pressure is a good economic policy. Nothing but reasoning and political will prevents us from agreeing that a maximum wage, or maximum net worth, could be good economic policy.
Hey, author here. You're absolutely right, good observation! When writing this post I had actually already moved on towards a compilation step (into bytecode + VM stack machine) where variables are obviously referenced by index. After that (while going back to write this post) somehow traversing the AST while not immediately evaluating it did not feel like tree walking to me. But it obviously still is...

Seeing just how slow looking up variables by their name is, I have a feeling this probably amounts to the biggest performance improvement that the bytecode + VM brings to the table (it's ~3 times faster than the AST walker at the time of writing). Especially as there do not seem to be that many cache misses (at least on my hardware) already, sub .2%.

Anyway, thank you for your $.02!
How many engineers did Instagram have when it was acquired by FB? (answer: 6 engineers with 30 million users: https://www.fastcompany.com/3047642/do-the-simple-thing-firs...)

Obviously, those were highly competent engineers, but perhaps Elon Musk is just trying to get to roughly the same proportion (~60?).

If so, he's still got a long, long way to go, so expect a lot more cutting.
That's the mark of quality satire.

> The same researchers from Washington University tried to find out exactly how much vaccines help prevent Long Covid. In general, vaccines reduce your risk by about 15 percent. So, not much. On the bright side, vaccines lower your risk of lung problems by 49 percent, and they lower your risk of blood clots by 56 percent. By vaccinated, they mean two doses of vaccine.

Oh, my, 15% seems quite on the low end.
Author here - it's just to reduce support surface area. I know I'll need PostgreSQL's full text indexing and GIN indexes for hashtags/search eventually, and I probably also want to use some of the upsert and other specialised queries, and it's easier to just target one DB I know is very capable.

For reference, when I say "small to medium", in my head that means "up to about 1,000 people right now".
Similar to how vizio makes more money spying through their tvs than selling them in the first place.
My girlfriend has EBT and she eats just fine. Vegetables are much cheaper than processed food. Maybe at one point in time it was true that processed food was cheaper and a necessity to get by on food stamps but these days it’s much cheaper to buy and eat unprocessed food like rice, bread, peanut butter, and lentils.

Those are just things I eat because I’m not a great cook. My gf cooks things like pies and casseroles.

Another thing that weirds me out is how many different kinds of junk and processed foods are EBT eligible.
It's going to heavily depend on how much water needs to be heated and how the vessel seals. Mine needs a strongly rolling boil to seal. I use as little water as possible to minimize heating time. It's still 10-15m to pressure buildup at anything below max heat with our giant cooker and another 10-15m to 15psi for sterilization temps.

> So, I am deliberately avoiding offering a non-Docker install path that is supported right now as it leads to a lot of support burden with different OS package versions and the like!

That doesn't mean you can't write and share a script for people who want to install it without Docker.

It means that he doesn't want to take responsibility for non-Docker installation scripts as part of the official documentation (yet), because if he did that he'd be on the hook to keep researching and updating those scripts in the future.
Let me share an idea.

Imagine lifestyle subscriptions. You have an app that is a digital catalogue where you type in your salary and then it tells you what packages you can buy with your salary.

Think of it as a life personal trainer and adviser with a shop attached.

* Coffee at Starbucks every other morning on way to work

* Gym once a week

* You could get a job at these companies if you tried.

* I drink coca cola or Pepsi with my pizza

* I drive a Prius and I want a max 1 hour drive

* Move to X neighbourhood

* I am a vegan or I am vegetarian

* I cook at home

* I go to a restaurant once a month

* I subscribe to Netflix only

* I am learning to play the piano. Here's the address of the place you can learn and practice.

Use recommendation algorithm and futures to reserve restaurant tables.

Allow user generated curriculum to get your desired lifestyle.

Integrate with calendar and meetup.com

It's a one stop shop for following any dream

Finally, slightly honest less-softball coverage of this outright criminal...
It's not a big story yet because the contagion is confined to crypto and there are no convictions yet.

But SBF should be thankful for Musk. Twitter's upheaval is more important to most people, and that seems to be sucking up most of the "look at this business" attention. And Musk was a bigger deal beforehand. (I mean, Musk is still a bigger deal. But I just meant in terms of as a multiplier on the underlying story.)
Some musicians think like programmers and writing with characters in columns and rows is as comfortable as writing notes on a staff. That’s why there are trackers that output MIDI events and even a tracker based DAW (Renoise.) I’ve known musicians who considered their own use of trackers to be a kind of ‘cheating’ because it was so much more comfortable to use a tracker and churn something out vs say, performing and fixing it in a piano roll.

For some platforms, tracking is also much closer to what is actually happening with how sounds are triggered versus the effects vs the event based aspect of MIDI.
The only reason I still buy at Amazon (even though I live in Geizhals territory) is the knowledge that returns and moneyback is a nonissue, even for consumables or when things break after a year. Most retailers are ok-ish at that (some do have a really bad Geizhals rating), but Amazon is pretty much zero risk there.

For example: I recently ordered a €600 printer at a local retailer. The printer shipped in an unusable state (it refused to print and one of the paper feeds spit out a metal spring at me, not a good sign), so I sent it back. It took 6 weeks and an angry email from me for them to ship the replacement unit. With Amazon this just doesn’t happen, or at least, has never happened to me.
Are there any ActivityPub benchmarks to compare various implementations of Mastodon-compatible instances? Ie written in different languages, etc.

Unavoidable now because of the Citizens United court decision. Of course it's bad, but what are you gonna do?
Having grown up poor myself and now moving in more affluent circles, I see these differences almost every day. Food is a big one. Most people remain forever attached to the kinds of foods they grew up with. A once-poor person might no longer like boxed macaroni and cheese or Taco Bell burritos, preferring more upscale versions of both, but a never-poor person will curl their lip in disgust at the very idea. How do you decorate (or not)? What kinds of vacations do you take (or not)? Are there any things that you hoard, even though there's no longer a point? How are your teeth? These little markers are everywhere, if you know what to look at. Even the fact that people don't talk about their childhood, especially what kind of schools they went to or what sports/activities (if any) they were involved in, can be a big tip-off. I can usually tell within ten minutes or so whether someone I'm talking to is once-poor or never-poor, even if they're both in the same economic stratum now. And I definitely feel more affinity for the first group.

BTW, a lot of these markers - especially food and hoarding - are pretty well known for people who survived the Great Depression, too. Those habits die hard.
I first followed that book in 2000 and it remains one of the most educational things I've done in my career. For a long time I used LFS as my base server install though I've since switched to Ubuntu Server.
In 2000, the performance overhead was too large. PowerShell, and most of PS applets are written in C#. PowerShell is a lightweight scripting layer on top of the same .NET runtime.

BTW, last couple times I dealt with Linux, I remember essential userland OS components implemented with bash scripts.
It creates risk and slows things down because you can’t trust your counterparties
I do understand that but I still want to know some specific examples.

I'm expecting stories to come out at some point in the future of dysfunction that's preventing Intel from simply implementing similar processes as their competitors. And yes I understand the competitors probably have trade secrets but they've been at least a step behind in process for so long now. 14nm when others had 7nm and just starting 7nm when others have 5nm. Hell there's already some 3nm TSMC stuff coming. The whole ++++++++ debacle was ridiculous.

At this point there has to be some major dysfunction. Are there senior people there with pet projects and adamant viewpoints that can't change? I'm expecting something along the lines of an execs insisting that cobalt conductors and liquid pellicles are the only way despite competitors kicking their ass by doing it differently. And if there are such stories to be told I'm rather shocked that no one at Intel's addressing the issues.

There's probably a book to be written here, similar to the stories told about Atari and Apple dysfunctions back in the day.
I didn’t see any posts related to STEPS yesterday, but I’ve been aware of STEPS for a few years.
Thanks for making this thread. It'd be fun to have a regular Thanksgiving/Christmas Eve thread where people post cooking and other holiday-related hacks.

It would be nice if any of them understood finance or just bank panics and financial contagion.
there were cool things that came from pure math in the early quantum + relativistic era -- lasers + black holes were math constructs before we thought to build them / look for them in the sky

I think (as an outsider to this field) the 'probing' now has fallen to the quantum computing people. their day job is basically making houses of cards out of entangled particles; if there are tricks to be learned about entanglement, they may be the ones to find them

Agreed, Trials Evolution[0] is my go-to. Ubisoft's launcher is a hassle and it gets a little weird after a suspend (it thinks it's lost the internet connection, so it saves your medals earned but your track times are saved in an off-line profile), but it's terrific for time-constrained play. And it's currently 75% off...

i just did that. with kids, 6 laptops (two small ones and two dead ones, that i hope to still revive somehow) several harddisks. (5TB data in triplicate (and a 4th copy on cloud storage)). security checks on three airports. they checked, but it was all routine, not a hint that this could be suspicious. on one airport the did that explosive trace detection by touching every piece of equipment and into some pouches, but that too was all professional.

3 out of the 6 suitcases were flagged for manual inspection, but passed after a quick look after confirming that the things they saw on the scan were fine after all.

in there i had a full desktop without harddisks (which were in the carry-on) and several other harddisks in a stack which in one scan did show up as a black square causing a search of that area of the suitcase because the person there didn't initially think that the disks could be the cause. once we confirmed that it must have been the disks (i guess if you pile up enough of them they do show up dark) it was given a pass.

the nightmare started when none of the checked luggage was showing up at the destination. confirming that i was right to remove and back up the disks. (but after two days i got the call that the luggage has arrived, it has just missed the last transfer)
Presumably all those “testimonials” are examples of the tool in action.
> Who is judging the code not being satisfactory? Can we see example of the code in question?

Why should you see the code, or learn who the judge is, or be the judge yourself? Are you qualified to judge someone else's $44B acquisition? If you haven't recently purchased a social network for $44B, then you are not qualified to look at things from their perspective either.

Go start your own company and then you can do what you want with yours and your investors' money, but Elon Musk doesn't owe you a shred of explanation for anything he chooses with the company that he bought that he clearly believes was on life support, at best.
As someone who doesn't really follow all this closely, it comes off as yet another case of crypto people scamming eachother. Most people don't really care what happens in the crypto world.
Had the same idea for a cafè at the beach we visit often. Reserve your place in the queue without having to actually stand there. Then again, if people don’t have to pay the price of standing in line, wouldn’t the line just get longer and longer? Maybe a better approach would be to send in orders. And the business accepts them based on availability and order size. If it’s busy and you just want a coffee, you won’t get a seat. But you will if you’ll order three burgers plus drinks.
As a digital nomad most of my travels (the expensive part of life) are with travala.com and cheapair.com (lightning works well with travala, but at least cheapair generally accepts 0-conf, although I wish they would accept lightning payments as well).

Also I use Binance debit card for payments, they autoconvert to the currency that the country needs.

Of course I use fiat currency accounts as well, I didn't say that, what I wrote is by Bitcoin payments are not illegal.
I had the same experience. I did a medically supervised weight loss phase assisted by Mounjaro, which worked shockingly well for me. Very low calorie (800-1,000 per day), but still high energy and no hunger even under pressure. Steady blood sugar ( have a GCM just for fun), consistent weight loss, and no side effects.
Went to an Arlo Guthrie performance about a decade ago. It was interesting how he removed some of the more non-PC lyrics by breaking out of the song from time to time to engage the audience in the performance and then would pick back up on the other side of what he wanted to exclude. It worked much more naturally than changing the lyric or adding some sort of disclaimer.

Even if you get out of this, you can't relate to e.g. your current co-workers, because you didn't have the same upbringing.

If you're the property owner it should be easy for you to build whatever level of residential density you want and think the market will make profitable. Why is it illegal for me to build townhouses on my land?

I'm in an area where it takes, on average, 1.8 acres per single family home. The next town over would put 18 single family homes in that same space. Zoning is restrictive even for single-family homes.
Stephen wolfram is working on something like this, he wants to model the laws of physics entirely with recursive graph rewiring.

The caps on presta valves aren't necessary as there's no way for dirt to get into the valve stem (unlike Schrader valves which can get clogged). The caps are useful for transporting the tube though to prevent the valve from puncturing anything.

Yes with both of those. Running a BBS was extremely personal. Someone would call your house and use your computer. You could watch them using the site and every site had a chat with the SysOp button so many visits became conversations. Unbeatable.
