The author's primary advice for making more friends is that you will have conversations with lots of people and you should iterate through them quickly by making more intimate conversation and revealing something about yourself to deepen the relationship.

This makes sense if the author is a student at a school of any meaningful size in a popular major. But it doesn't make sense for adults struggling to make connections outside of school. Assuming you work in an office, would you serially go from desk to desk asking coworkers out to 1:1 lunches? I'm a member of over a hundred groups on Meetup and I manage to find in-person events maybe every couple of weeks or so. And I talk to maybe 1-2 people at each one: everyone else mostly brings coworkers and talks to them instead. When I go work on a laptop at a cafe, I try making some kind of conversation with someone who is also there alone, but that's also usually 1-2 people a week and that's a sentence or two back and forth, not even a conversation.

I get the sense that even lonely people looking for more chances to connect with others have few promising encounters with strangers and can't apply that "filter fast" mindset.
Any app store would have to comply with government regulation in the markets they serve.
Very brief summary: a personal anecdote about forming good friends followed up by advice for how to have better conversions (vulnerability, curiosity) and how to meet more people who will become friends (meet people but filter out most of them, take initiative with following up), and lastly how to deepen friendships.

As someone who has a fair number of close friends, I think this is a good post with lots of solid advice. And it's written well! Personally I've been lucky to just naturally meet and form my best friends over time, but I definitely think taking initiative and following up are important to maintaining a close friendship.

A general point in this post I also like is that making and keeping close friends may require work and energy, rather than being something that life just throws your way. I intentionally try to periodically message friends, come out to places they live, just generally keep in touch; as one gets older people move about and it's harder to maintain your closest friendships, but it is possible!

Last comment: this is a very pragmatic and analytical post with a lot of discussions of things you can do, and not much discussion of how you should feel. I'd add this - just CARE. Appreciate the people in your life and let that appreciation guide you.
The vegan principle is about non-interference with non-human animals, it doesn't necessarily minimize suffering.
Nobody is saying the problem is new. What is new is that Twitter’s capacity to deal with it has been largely dismantled by Elon.
If you use Hammerspoon, you can build your own menubar icons in Lua using the hs.menubar[1] API. I've built a clipboard history tool using that, for instance.

If you don't use Hammerspoon, you should check it out. :)

If you really need a fast strcpy then probably not, but in most situations snprintf will do the job just fine. And will prevent heartache.

Out of the six definitions and you conveniently skip the first one:

> to present (a person) to another so as to make acquainted.

Which is exactly what Apple did in the submitted post.

Also if you look at the 2-4th definitions. The submitted title jibes directly with what Apple did.
> I personally find that offensive and rude that tools get away with being so garbage that they can't even promise to help you crash and diagnose your own problems.

This is literally why newer languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, etc. exist. With the hindsight of C and C++, they were designed to drastically reduce the types of UB. They guarantee that a compile-time or run-time diagnostic is produced when something bad happens (e.g. NullPointerException). They don't include silly rules like "not ending a file with newline is UB". They overflow numbers in a consistent way (even if it's not a way you like, at least you can reliably reproduce a problem). They guarantee the consistent execution of statements like "i = i++ + i++". And for all the flak that JavaScript gets about its confusing weak type coercions, at least they are coded in the spec and must be implemented in one way. But all of these languages are not C/C++ and not compatible with them.
does that include bioavailability of those calories to humans?

from this anecdotal source: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/sbfn6b/c...

1lb of grass to humans = 32kcals / lb

1lb of grass to cows = 800kcals / lb

800/32 = 25x

Assuming you grow something other than grass on that pasture to eat (also assuming it isn't marginal land which makes up 2/3 of agricultural land), wouldn't that other plant extract approximately the same amount of calories from the sun? And wouldn't the bioavailability of that plant also be lesser than that of meat?
You could always know if a function was compile-time or not based on the usages. Eg, static_assert the output or put it in a constexpr value, and it's guaranteed to be compile-time evaluated or it didn't compile.

consteval is helpful in iterations during development to catch that, and I like it as such, but it's definitely not a constexpr replacement nor what constexpr should have been. It's a very small subset of constexpr usages.
“Jodorowski’s Tron” was indeed the original headline, which what I was commenting on. It changed after I had written my comment.

What I'm trying to get at is deforestation will always happen if forests are allowed to be sold. There will always be some use to be had if the land is allowed for private sale, because few people want to just sit on land and pay expenses. Many landowners of large tracts would like for some of that land to work for them. The meat industry is the major contributor today, yes, but if it was gone, there would be another industry as the major contributor. Then another and another, like snakes on Medusa's head.

We have shown its a lot faster to just set up a national park than it is to develop technology that eliminates the need for any industry at all to develop on empty land. Sure, governments demand public support in order for their ideas to be maintained, but you could just as easily come up with some hypothetical technology that isn't one of those industries affecting forest today, some new industry or technology, that now has to be stymied to protect the forests. This could happen any time in the future. It will probably happen multiple times, and require more innovation to work out its dependence on land for that one new technology. Now rinse and repeat infinitely into the future as long as you allow forests you intend to protect to be privately owned by individuals or corporations with profit motives.
In some cultures and sub-cultures "opening up" is closely tied to the consumption of inappropriate levels of alcohol, while in others you can go without and still build a good connection to other people.

It comes down to understanding the reactivity model - how to define state that can change, and how efficiently the UI updates in response to those state changes.

I think the issue the author had with SwiftUI is not understanding the reactivity system, or frequently choosing an expedient option that caused over-rendering - unnecessary re-renders in response to state changes that aren't required for the UX to work correctly from the user's perspective. Even if your UI's actual rendering work takes 1ms to paint, you want to avoid re-calculating busy work, allocation, etc, which can drive poor experience.

With a framework like React that provides very few primitives, it's quite clear when the framework will re-render. With a complex framework like SwiftUI, there are many primitives and different ways to represent state, subscribe to updates, etc, and the framework is quite under-documented. After spending 15 hours with SwiftUI, I still don't have a clear understanding of how the system detects a subscription, or what the re-render semantics are.

React I would describe this way:

1. Every re-render starts when you setState to a value that does not (!==) equal the current value in a parent component, or a reducer stores a new value internally.

2. Child components of that component will re-render except in two cases:

2a. The child component uses React.memo, and the props passed by the parent are shallow-equal to the previous props

2b. The child component JSX nodes are strict-equal to those returned by the previous render of the parent component, eg a subtree in the parent wrapped in useMemo

I can't come up with a similar definition for SwiftUI after 15 hours building an app in it. I need to consider @Binding, @State, ObservableObject, @ObservedObject, projected values. When is the system creating fine-grained subscriptions automatically? When is the system subscribing to an entire object (deeply?). Hard to find a cogent explanation of all the options.

Because of my different understanding of these frameworks, I personally write React apps that perform better than most people expect web apps to perform, and SwiftUI apps that perform much worse than people expect Apple native apps to perform.
I do, but I thought the question was whether or not he believed that woke activists are the proper blame for an advertiser not buying his services.

I wouldn't be surprised if he knows that advertisers have other valid reasons for not wanting to place their brands on his site, but that he's playing to the far-right base anyway.

For example, he used the number "88" in a hostile back-and-forth with Alex Vindeman yesterday, a pretty clear dog whistle.
Does anyone have recommendations for a system monitor that works on Apple silicon? I just want to see ethernet activity, RAM usage, and processor usage.
> except now the settings are all over the place

On Windows 11, it's very rare to have to use the old Control Panel. It still exists for some uncommon settings, but nearly everything has been moved to the new settings. And everything is actually intelligently grouped. I only wish you could have multiple Settings windows open at once.
I was a BlockFi customer. I always had the sense that they wanted to do the right thing. They hired people with risk experience in traditional banking, had real customer support, engaged with regulators to get their interest rate product certified, etc. It is really a bit sad that they got entangled into the FTX situation. (I should also say that I withdrew my funds earlier. Otherwise, I may feel differently.)
An example on how to seek and cut video exactly on it's "I-frames" would be nice. The few times I've searched, I've never really found what I'm looking for. Usually I just use avidemux to seek and cut to keyframes.
There was a story recently about how a bank was using the presence of Teamviewer as part of their fraud detection.

Seems like they were on to something...
Star Lisp!

Although any functional or HPC language like Chapel will do.
The opening to that article is wild. While there is deforestation in some places in the world, at least in the US, there are more trees today than there were 100 years ago. Forest harvest followed by replanting is not deforestation.

I also find that most of these articles discount the value of using the sun. Most lab-grown resources require other forms of energy, almost all of which are decidedly worse for the environment.

If somebody invented a machine that used the sun and rainwater to remove carbon dioxide from the air and produce renewable building products, they'd be hailed as some kind of genius/savior. Enter, the lowly tree.
I strongly disagree, or at least don't think that's Universal. There's more to meeting and making friends then simply being yourself. There's taking risks and putting yourself out there. There is making time and priority for them. Maybe this works for someone who is naturally an extrovert and naturally makes friends, but that isn't everyone. Not everyone can or should try to take a wait for them to come to me approach
Do you have ANY idea what goes on in a meatpacking plant?

Let's just say, the large intestine doesn't exactly stay pristine in the process, and I doubt they clean everything like you think they do.
Almost everything is genetic, so no surprises there. Cilantro has always tasted like soap to me. As a kid, I couldn't really even be in the same room with the herb. However, my wife frequently makes me eat it because she likes it. As a result of frequent exposure, I no longer find the taste offensive. I guess the point is this: there may be a genetic component to whether or not cilantro tastes like soap, but it may also be possible to learn to like the taste of soap.
If you are in any way serious about attracting a real investor you are going to need to buy a real domain and use something like S3 for static hosting and register a LLC. At a minimum.
In case anyone ever reads this: My above response became unhelpfully harsh toward the end. I could have framed that argument in a less hostile light.

It fairly contrasts with me earlier calling out a post for being bitter.
In terms of price, I've been saying that parts of the developer market work like Veblen goods while I think you've been saying it's all ordinary goods. You started us down this road earlier, maybe unintentionally, by questioning my statement that employers are looking for luxury goods.
TFA immediately clarifies the title.
I don't remember the details because this more than one year ago or maybe even two, closer to when the pandemic started. I do remember things getting knocked over, moving all over the place, shifting in unexpected ways, etc.

In my opinion, if something like TTS doesn't work "out of the box" (no tweaking, no fiddling with settings) it's not a different enough experience from a clunky computer game, precisely the kind of thing I'm trying to get away from when playing board games...
Paywall seems to be down on this article. Here's the first grafs/opening anecdote for convenience:

> ONTARIO, Calif.—The unsolicited proposal from Elon Musk’s tunnel-building venture arrived in January 2020. To the local transportation authority, it felt like finding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket.

> Officials had started planning for a street-level rail connection between booming Ontario International Airport and a commuter train station 4 miles away, with an estimated cost north of $1 billion. For just $45 million, Mr. Musk’s Boring Co. offered to instead build an underground tunnel through which travelers could zip back and forth in autonomous electric vehicles.

> Dazzled by Boring’s boasts that it had revolutionized tunneling, and the cachet of working with the billionaire head of EV maker Tesla Inc., the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority dumped plans for a traditional light rail and embraced the futuristic tunnel.

> When it came time to formalize the partnership and get to work, Boring itself went underground—just as it has done in Maryland, Chicago and Los Angeles. Boring didn’t submit a bid for Ontario by the January 2022 deadline.

> The six-year-old company has repeatedly teased cities with a pledge to “solve soul-destroying traffic,” only to pull out when confronted with the realities of building public infrastructure, according to former executives and local, state and federal government officials who have worked with Mr. Musk’s Boring. The company has struggled with common bureaucratic hurdles like securing permits and conducting environmental reviews, the people said.

> “Every time I see him on TV with a new project, or whatever, I’m like: Oh, I remember that bullet train to Chicago O’Hare,” said Chicago Alderman Scott Waguespack. Boring had backed away from its proposal for a high-speed tunnel link to the airport there.

> Mr. Musk and Steve Davis, president of Boring, didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Firstly, there are in fact a lot of problems that benefit from parallelization, but are not quite wide enough to justify dealing with (say) a GPU. For example, even in graphics you often have medium-sized rasterization tasks that are much more convenient to run on CPUs. Audio processing is similar. Often you have chunks of vectorizable work inter-mixed with CPU-friendly pointer chasing, and the ability to dispatch SIMD work within nanoseconds of SISD work is very helpful.

Secondly, AVX-512 (and Arm's SVE) support predication and scatter/gather ops, both of which open the door to much more aggressive forms of automatic vectorization.
Thanks! That's something I always hoped to see gain traction (I've seen several failed attempts in the past, and was tangentially involved in testing one aimed at kids). I'm fine with chasing data sheets and uC programming. I'll look into this for several projects I've been meaning to do.
> A healthy project probably has the resources to go through incoming bug reports and fix labelling or categorization mistakes, but not enough resources to implement every good idea which comes in through feature requests.

A healthy project can also close feature requests they don't want to implement. They can also choose to close every issue that isn't a bug report because they use different tools for feature planning and discussion. They can also choose to just automatically close every issue because they don't use github issues at all, but prefer other tools.
Some of the stuff's purely a step back. The "flat" craze was and remains obviously a bad over-correction (it's not clear to me that any correction was called for at all, really) and UIs auto-updating out from under people then constantly splashing "helpful" modals and such over the UI to tell you a bunch of stuff you don't want or need to know is all straight-up UI poison.

[EDIT] The move away from native toolkits and to very-custom UI for everything is also plainly bad. Java and Flash got the ball rolling on that (and both rightly caught shit for it) but Webtech junk is what really made that awful pattern take off. "Corporate really wants to make sure our checkbox elements are on-brand" OH MY GOD what an incredible waste of money, when you consider the total cost to the industry as a whole, in order to make UIs worse.
I love simplicity. I also love performance. This is why I use modern C++ for backend servers. It allows me to write very simple code that is still very performant (actually leaves standard stacks in the dust). I sure do not fall into honeytraps so for me complex languages like C++ is an advantage as I can always find what works the best for particular task.
Anyone can make sense of the question? I don't think a thick coin, or a cuboid shaped rolling dice has probabilities for each of its sides to land on. I think that would depend on how we toss it.
I think the biggest victims are the people who held accounts that got drained. They were aware of the risk but they believed people smarter than them at least checked that the bank vault wasn't build on quicksand. VCs have access and ability to do due diligence and they didn't because they're blinded by their own awesomeness.
I was looking forward to a thread like this, very motivating! Being a hacker without a CS degree sometimes creates steep learning curves.
Congrats on 4 years, been neat to see all of the growth and changes!
Thanks for posting this. The issue I have here is that I would need to spend hours researching whether wrapping a single kind of produce is OK or not. It's a science!

Another example: is it better to buy the non-organic, locally produced apple or the organic apple that comes from Argentina? (I'm in Europe).

In the store, I need simple heuristics to make my decisions. My heuristics:

- Is there plastic? -> Pass

- Is it produce from far away? -> Pass, mostly

- Is it non-organic? -> Pass, if there's an organic alternative.

And yeah, sometimes it's a decision between the produce that's organic but wrapped in plastic and that which is conventional but without wrapping and grown locally. That's a head-scratcher every time.
What did Apple even hope to accomplish here? If this was some (extremely) ill-thought-out attempt at combating hate or misinformation don't they realize 90% of said content will be fed to users via YouTube/Reddit/Safari/other social media? Is it just abuse of power by low level employees?
No and it doesn't matter if you're right if you're also last. Nearly 50,000 Bitcoin were withdrawn from Coinbase daily between Nov. 23 and Nov. 27 — equating to roughly $3 billion. Move your funds off today just to be safe.
It makes perfect sense considering the wider public understands "algorithm" as "big,opaque,unknowable way of doing something probably tilted towards interests of the corporation/government", which is how the word has been used in mass media for years.
Yes, better title would be "How thick is a fair three-sided coin?"
