> if you know the best way to retain information, why would you stop using it.

I wonder that myself. Earlier in my career, when the internet wasn't so great, we had to rely on textual communication for everything. This left the ideal 'paper' trail to look back on for reference. Everything well communicated, everything perfectly retained. It was unbelievably efficient.

Now that the technology has improved, easily transmitting voice and even video, there is a curious push in that direction. Communication quality has declined dramatically as you now have to suffer through a bumbling stream of consciousness instead of words someone put effort into writing, which adds significantly more human time involvement to get a point across, and once spoken the information is automatically lost save even more human best effort to retain what can and never perfectly so.

I likely shiny newfangled tech as much as the next guy, but there's a time and a place. Why we stopped using what worked best boggles the mind.
I am an auto enthusiast. I tried a Tesla Model S P85D to give it a fair chance, something many of my fellow auto enthusiasts thought was an insane idea. I ended up getting rid of it after just 3 months for a number of reasons. A few were:

• The added weight of the battery made the 4 door sedan have worse handling and braking performance than most minivans, or encumbered pickup trucks. This was quite literally a safety concern.

• The charging infrastructure just isn't there yet. I am not a homeowner. At the time, I lived in an apartment complex with non-Tesla EV chargers. I'd get about 1% charge per hour on these, meaning I often got less than 10% charge restored overnight if I came home late and left the next morning. Tesla chargers near me were constantly packed, with lines for a spot forming during weekends and after 5pm on weekdays.

• Even the Superchargers at my locations took an hour or more at times for a full charge. The advertised charge capacity isn't a fixed charging speed, it decreases dramatically at higher charge levels, such that 90%-100% might take as long as 40%-65% did.

• Some people suggest not charging to full capacity and simply charging more frequently. In addition to logistical challenges with this, I found that my state of charge worked similarly to a gas gauge in an ICE car: going from 100% to 90% would get me up to 45 miles. Going from 20% to 10% never got me more than 25 miles. Meaning a 90% charge was not 90% of the 300 mile range, but perhaps closer to a 260 mile range.

• Power delivery is not consistent. Admittedly, this is less of a concern for ordinary users, but for automotive enthusiasts with a love for performance, the fact that my car went into something of a soft limp mode after 3 launches in under 10 minutes made me miserable. My 0-60 would go from about 3.1 seconds to about 4.8 seconds. My Mercedes AMG's, Corvettes, Nissan GT-R's, and Porsches have never had performance degradation like this.

• This is more of a Tesla issue than an EV issue, but I got a scrape/gash in 2 body panels (not just paint) from someone who didn't leave a note, though it was only about 6 inches long and less than half an inch deep. Tesla service center wanted to replace both entire panels and repaint the entire car for $17,000. My buddy's body shop fixed it so well for $2,000 the dealership I bought it from couldn't tell anything happened when I sold it back to them.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt (as you should any N=1 study), but I suspect I'm not the only person with these gripes. To simply paint EV adoption as a price issue is an oversimplification.
Wine gets you 80% of the way there, but that remaining 20% that Proton fills in takes it from "awesome technology" to "usable product". Everyone is building on the shoulder of giants.
> But is that what you want? In your 40s or 50s, ignored life's other pleasures, maybe never had a family, or haven't spent enough time with them, can't remember the last time you really relaxed, but boy, you've accomplished extraordinary things?

What's wrong with that? The first half of your comment is insightful, but is it really that hard to believe that maybe some people do derive satisfaction from accomplishment?
Yeah, apologies for that. There is no.4 that's extremely difficult, especially on phones with not such great colours and there's one more that has 2 tricky squares. I'm trying to pick pictures that do not have solid squares for future.
The only response I can really give here is

'insufficient data for meaningful answer'

Time will tell if this is true or not.
I think if you're using a feeling of guilt about not doing stuff as the principal motivation for doing stuff, that's a recipe for... precisely the results you describe.

I'd recommend taking a step back and thinking about what's truly important to you, and see if you can identify an activity or a goal where the journey itself makes you feel inspired and energized. In my experience, if you can find something with a positive feedback loop like that, one day you'll wake up and realize you've made it a lot further down that path than you initially thought possible.
I tend to read very quickly. I often wonder if people who read more slowly have a different emotional experience. In particular, reading quickly through visual descriptions doesn't give my brain enough time to really build up an image.

This seems like a good way to slow down.

It would be nice if it rasterized the text and flipped it pixel-wise instead, though. The mix of reverse characters that are exact ('b' and 'd') with characters that can be approximated ('f' and 't') and characters that have no mirror ('y' and 'g') is unsettling.
Yeah that's my bad, the site assumes you already know what benthos is as it's an early stages UI for it. The best place to start is https://www.benthos.dev, or if you like dumb videos: https://youtu.be/88DSzCFV4Ng
Well, the point is not in some novelty, but that it does a similar thing as an open standard, with more than one vendor and community behind it for runtimes, tooling, etc., that it doesn't come from Oracle (which is an extra bonus), and with compatibility with the web and bigger boost behind it than Graal ever achieved thus far to boot.
Hahaha, I love that I could bring this memory back!
I can't comment on the legal facets of this but if I were a celebrity being pulled into this s-storm I would absolutely hire as many reputable private investigation firms as I could afford, knowing full well there are some bits of this case that may be swept under the rug and some people will get thrown under the bus. Lawyers will not do that type of in the muck leg-work.
It has the potential to be different, absolutely.
That's actually a really cool idea.
There's a degree of symbiosis here. Politicians may be willing to seek such opportunities out on their own, because it helps their constituents (short-term, at the expense of others), or at least creates an appearance of it, which helps them and their party.
Its an extra requirement, thats not imposed by many other languages.
I mean if we all want to be realistic, he's neither an intern nor a manager nor a real employee.

He's a prominent person in the industry who got given an ambiguous role in the company by tweeting the CEO. I doubt there's much strict definitions towards roles and responsibilities in the company right now, other than to try and satisfy Musk.
You and I are having a conversation about politics. I assume you think you have some fairly moderate views and you aren't being funded by a media mogul with billions of dollars.

How would you and I talk over the TV?

IMO unidirectional media is worse in a lot of ways; it trains the counterparty they have no say and they are a passive receiver of information with the only speakers being an extremely narrow selection of paid parties.
Suggest changing the title to "Only positive reinforcement [is permitted,] for researchers in some fields" for clarity.
So I put in Silver Jews, and expected to get probably the #1 result "Purple Mountains" which is also David Berman, and then pavement and some Malkmus as recommends. So I don't know how well that works.

Coheed and Cambria seemed fairly good. I was expecting Thursday as a top result and got it.

I put in "Mom Jeans" and a totally very different sounding band but on the same label who tour together and got "Just Friends". That's an unexpectedly nice connection.
Thanks for sharing, this is awesome to hear!
Easily one of the best guides of flexbox, and this is coming from a mostly backend guy that can never remember flexbox for long term, and always needs a refresh about it.
Same goes for twitter. Gosh I hope nobody uses 6 hours of twitter a day.
The only programmers taking these offers are at the bottom of the barrel in either skill or self-confidence, I’m afraid.
True but reality is more nuanced than that. Case in point, Truth Social also "has eyeballs" but is there any respectable company investing in ads there?

For better or worse, the type of eyeballs also matter, increasingly so I'd say.
The link doesn't work :(
>> So in situations like that, just give a warning, if anything [quoting myself, adding emphasis]

Again, it's about judgement for the circumstances. We're in agreement here, but your original comment read as if you were taking the discussion here as being about absolutes.
I get the feeling people hit a bad game or two and stopped checking, so I just want to say native ports actually work fine in my experience, both before and after Proton's birth. Terraria, Garry's Mod, Valve's own titles, and Starbound should all work fine to name a few.

I fear we'll get fewer proper native ports because of Proton, so it's hard for me to get excited about it. Especially with how it seems to be on by default and work sort of invisibly, it's like they want to hide from people if they're playing a native game or not. I don't even think it's a malicious move, more like the common sin of trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator at the cost of the older advanced users.

I have heard some old ports were actually just shipping their game with wine, so for those Proton is probably an improvement, but some games (indie especially) actually made proper ports years ago and I think we ought to use them and recognize their efforts.

It does, using the wasm4 console target: https://itch.io/jam/wasm4-v2
With USB2.0 you're talking about 53MBytes/sec data rate. That's more than sufficient for lossless Full-HD video.

Yes, for anything higher quality (UHD 4K) you need more expensive hardware.
> for hardware you already bought

Is it really? If it's not retroactive, and you knew it going in and perhaps got a discount for it at purchase time is it really "you already brought". It's more like instead of destructively fusing off capabilities of functional products (ie irrecoverably ruining perfectly good hardware to enforce market segmentation), they make it easy to upgrade later. This isn't really that bad an idea.

As long as I can buy it fully unlocked from the get-go and am never forced into a subscription (as opposed to one-off) on my home workstation I really don't mind.
I thought I spotted the bottom of crypto stocks to buy, but was very wrong. Bottom-detection is a tricky art.
See also this video and information from a german TV show: https://www.galileo.tv/natur/daisuigi-wie-in-japan-holz-gewo...
As long as this is a one time fee to unlock each subcomponent, it is fine, actually even better because it means less waste and more flexibility.

If however it goes pay-as-you-go, then the outrage will be warranted.

Intel could have very well gone with this as, purchase an i3 now, and upgrade to an i5 by paying the difference, and help reduce waste. All they'd have to write is "upgradeable up to i7".
This is a "broadword matrix multiplication" as described in Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming Volume 4A (exercise 55 in section 7.1.3).

Here is a lecture where Knuth explains it:

https://youtu.be/o22BAuQj3ds?t=1h20s

It's efficient for 64-bit registers, but even larger registers could be used in the same way.
For a volunteer developed programming language, that's almost certainly early stages.

Calendar years is not a good measure of how much work has gone into a language. Think in terms of person-hours instead.
Multiple passes?
My son is looking at getting his first car, he wants a "classic car" but given upstate NY winters I think we are going to add whatever economy car we can find to the motor pool at the farm.

He absolutely hates the idea of a "connected car" and if affordable electric cars are glorified cell phones he is going to stick with old gas cars.
I would rather have the names of the 46 games that did work!
I think that video media is for reasons I cannot explain, a far more effective persuasive tool than written media. If your internet diet is YouTube/TikTok you're definitely just as vulnerable.
Bah, put the kittens in a cage and release them upon unexpecting intruders. 50-60 kittens will tear a Kobold apart if you lock them all into a small room.

For the un-initiated: Yes, Dwarf Fortress is a brutal game.
Not just over-60s, and not just TV screens. Yes, there are plenty of people older than I am (at 57) who spend way too much time watching TV. There are also plenty of people right around my age who spend all day listening to NPR or podcasts. Their eyes might not be elsewhere, but their brains sure are. And you know who I most often see actively using their phones while driving? Not the kids, and not the old folks either. It's the 40- and 50-somethings, the tradespeople in pickups and the suburban parents in minivans, flying down the road with their eyes glued to a screen instead where they should be. Entertainment addiction takes many forms, and the author makes a good point that the kids with their phones aren't the only ones who deserve to be taken to task for it.
Yeah, that's actually a great idea. Do you have any idea on how the indicator could look like? Something like counter how many tiles are still not in position?

Tiles still in wrong position ............ 24?
Current vax capability is a solution to PRC dealing with covid with 1-2 millions of deaths, maybe not as high as 3-5M estimated excess deaths in India but within that ball park. Issue remains PRC's health care capacity isn't sufficient to address wave severe vaxed cases on ICU, especially with unchecked spread in immune naive gen pop.

Politically, millions is still difficult proposition vs essentially none under onerous covid zero, which (IMO) PRC leadership was corned into sustaining by merely demonstrating that state possess the capacity to maintain. Until it can't due to resources or desire, which is where we are now.

The broader issue is most of world was constrained to the sole "solution" of living with covid because vax could prevent severe cases but not eliminate spread, whereas CCP has the difficulty of deciding from multiple solutions along the continuum of how fast to live with covid vs zero covid, and it looks like they're currently just "feeling the stones" for best approach. Reality the flexbility of having different solutions other than depending on vax = some solutions will be more wrong than others.

This could have to do with whether you're waking up in between versus in the middle of a sleep cycle. From what I understand, the former is preferable to the latter.
If people dig that kind of stuff, then sure, go right ahead.

As for me, I really don’t enjoy being a sysadmin in my spare time.

YMMV.
Is there something similar to https://www.fairphone.com/en/ in the US?
He didn't realize that gardens need walls, and HTML is the perfect building block for walls.
Thanks! That was some of the feedback from my friends when I initially sent it to them. They were like: "wow this is relaxing" but shortly after: "ok, how do we compete?" :D
This seems to be in between stable and experimental, which is in turn usually behind the GE builds.
when I am not in Emacs+evil and I have to open vscode for launching the debugger I use vscodevim, I am not sure why people say it's too limited, it does the job more than allright for me and I tink I use vim keys and motion to its fullest....

sure it doesn't have :map or other commands but as far editing and moving around it work well for me....

as far vscode-neovim i have tried that but it was freezing too often for me (on osx and linux) I would have to restart the plugin extension host or something to get it fixed.... much nicer to have configuration in a .vim file tho compared to json based configuration of vscode-vim

I actually enjoy more idea emulation of vim which I think is much more advanced.... but vscode is a good middleground between an editor and ide or at least for my debugging sessions.
Don't believe the hype: moving from Go to Rust will not make your app (web or other) twice as fast! It might make your developers twice as slow though (as the author of the article noticed)...
It's controversial because there are definitely a contingent of people who really want to believe docker adds a realistic layer of security isolation.

But no credible security researcher, security engineer or even Docker the company itself has ever considered Docker the container runtime to be a security mechanism (well, outside of the fact it's leveraging kernel namespaces)[0].

There's also a lot of really bad security hygiene when it comes to running docker images even if they could be secure: Docker runs programs by default as root and this gives programs quite a lot of possibility to escape a container, many containers are used in CI (DinD) which exposes the host docker daemon, most containers are not run with `--cap-drop all` which drops capabilities from the kernel[1], I have never seen a container run with `--security-opt=no-new-privileges` which would prevent escalating privileges using `setuid` or `setgid` binaries (leading to the same issue as running everything as root), etc, etc, etc;

You can do all sorts of “stratified design” with C++ templates which I assume is underneath the covers of this system. boost::spirit is probably the most excessive use of this that I’ve seen so far.
Sorry but what if I want a 4-core and your yields improve and you make 6-working cores? Should I have to pay more? There is no clean answer that doesn't suck for someone.
Thanks Robin! Yeah, it is not ideal game for phones, but I have few ideas in backlog on how to improve that.
CodeWeavers is responsible for upwards of 2/3 of Wine commits. A lot of open source projects benefit from similar relationships, like Postgres/Crunchy Data.
Ruby concurrency is hard: how I became a Ruby on Rails contributor
To expand this a little, the perception that linked lists are easy comes from the fact that the garbage collector does all the heavy lifting on the background. Using a non-GC language reveals the complexities involved.
If one is like I used to be, TV is mindless but it can be mindful. After meeting someone who changed my perception of the medium, I find that TV is one of the most engaging and challenging exercises. You are constantly searching for symbolism, inspirations and trademarks of actor/writer/director. There is so so much to do when watching TV that anyone who says it’s a waste is missing a huge opportunity!
I can echo your sentiment. My install is seriously delayed both by the city permits and the installers (who’ve now broken two panels). Luckily I only paid 25% upfront and the other 75% will be handed over on completion. So I’m sitting pretty with a new roof and uninstalled panels and while they have to figure out the cost issue.
I’m only able to say this because my deal was to pay upfront without financing.

For context, install and inspection were supposed to be done in July. It is now nearly December.
Proton works better than native windows builds. In some cases it actually fixes bugs in the windows version

There’s some bullshit hand-waving about “security” on the GitHub landing page, but what are they expecting people to do - install Norton?
The statement is in fact useless. Changing your mental actions is what is useful. When you notice you brain doing it, then imagine you are a kind kindergarten teacher guiding a child to take crayons out of his mouth. Kindly tell your brain to think of something else. Then patiently tell your brain again.

Put down the internet drama machine and go do small good things in the real world.

> considered subhuman by the rest of society!

Unless you are literally an AI, then as a member of society I can tell you that this is factually inaccurate. I think you are a human.

I also know that there is a tiny fraction of society that consider me subhuman. HP Lovecraft would be horrified by my very existence. The fraction of society that calls people subhuman is really bad at maintaining healthy relationships and so they don’t tend to hold onto power so I don’t care about them.

> just terrible at everything and have accomplished nothing

Do you have solid evidence that this is factually accurate, or does it only feel true?

If it feels true, then get up and go for a walk or roll outside, occasionally doing pushups or waving your arms about. That will help you see reality more clearly.

Also, teach yourself how to make scrambled eggs well. That way when you remember the parts of your life that do suck, you’ll at least be able to remind yourself of your ability to make scrambled eggs for someone.
Scrobbling is fun, just one of those 'personal data' things to look at from time to time. Last.fm was always corporate/sketchy tho and never got into it/didn't want an account on it.

GNU Libre.fm worked fine for years tho! Nice to have an archive of data just sitting on there. (Lack of hands to work on it to get other features like dumps and more analysis never panned out tho).

But since the pandemic my listening habits on mobile where most of the scrobbling was being done from have changed completely and there's limited support on windows / no long available in things like WinAmp etc, so it's just not a thing anymore. Kinda sad.

So no, not naïve.
I don't think it's fair to judge what is a "waste of life" or not. What one wants to do with their own life is a subjective thing. Each have their own interests, comfort zones, and personal struggles that they have to deal with.
