Here’s Balenciaga’s 2023 video showing off their styles for the year. This is from their own YouTube channel.

Fair warning: the children shown appear to be dolls, not actual human children, but it is still disturbing:

https://youtu.be/Yh_1K9s6UV0

These seem to be adults dressed as literal demons (one of them has horns on their head) many of whom are carrying (probably fake) children, and all marching through the mud. It’s very unsettling.

This next thing is considerably worse since it appears to involve pictures of actual children (I won’t link it here since it’s NSFL). One of Bakenciagas designers, Lotta Volkova, had what appear to be photos of children in various…bizarre? Situations. If you search her name and instagram, there are websites which have archived her page (which is now private).

Balenciaga is trying to claim they didn’t know anything about this. That seems absurd given the rest of what they are putting out and who is working with them.
That example doesn't contradict LegionMammal978's point though, if I understood correctly. He's saying that the 'time-travel' wouldn't extend to before checking the conditional.
Be aware that that will consume substantially more power than a pi. Even my old MacBook seems to consume about 6W idle with the screen off compared to 1W for my cubieboard (~pi 1 equivalent). A PC is probably closer to 10-30W.
Bridgy is not new. I used to use it to publish my old blog site's posts to destinations like Facebook and other silos back in the day...and it worked wonderfully amazing!!! I've not used it in a couple of years (since i killed off my blog), and back then while the Fediverse existed, mastodon software was not yet around....so not sure how good it connects with mastodon instances....but overall, Snarfed's code is rock solid. If its anything like it was back in the day, then it should be great for more recent stuff. Try it, and see!

Disclaimer: For what its worth, I do not personally know Snarfed (Bridgy's main author), but i have followed him for years, and as stated above, have used his code in the past to great success.
Nope, right comment.

> or electric cars, no-one needs 48A (11.5kw) charging

refers to L2 DC fast charging. The next level down (which is implied by "nobody needs L2") is L1 charging, which is done on a household 120V or 220V circuit.

In other words, if you don't supply L2 (and L3) DC fast charging for customers who need it, EVs will never replace ICE.
Of course, and this is already being done in various forms, see "neighbourhood batteries" as exist in Australia at least.
Performance is a shiny toy that attracts and distracts many from understanding the fundamentals. Interestingly, understanding fundamentals is a pre-requisite to understanding performance!
A pleasure, thanks for recognizing it's virtues.

It would be nice to see it's use, and variations, grow organically, vs the current emblem's quite ironic much-more-cathedral-than-bazaar dictats.
I went data science to data engineering and been very happy. You may have trouble moving into backend development direct from data science because data scientists don't have a reputation for writing solid maintable code so data engineering could be a nice intermediate step cause it's heavy python
Everything appears to be discrete except possibly space-time. Is there a reason to believe space-time isn’t discrete other than using manifolds makes things easier mathematically?

Tailwind acknowledges the limitation [1] and also provides gap utilities [2]:

These days if you have a company selling cat food or rivets for aerospace or providing taxi swrvice to a random city, or whatever, they might have a few data scientists helping them make "optimized" business choices. Obviously they won't have a very adcanced recruiting process for that.

I don't eat much meat outside of the occasional fish but I did welcome the fake meat fad.

It's not that I enjoy eating the product, it's that I need to find protein somehow when I'm at "American food" restaurants (fast food or otherwise). In most of these places there's no veggie protein options other than the "veggie burger" - and the fake meats have made these a little more ubiquitous.
I'll be curious if the impression of smallness continues as you gain expertise and experience.
We are just going to have to move away from car-only infrastructure. Costs are way too high for negligible benefits. This doesn’t mean you can’t have a car or a big truck. But driving will not be your main form of transportation for daily life. The question isn’t if this will be the case, it’s whether we will manage how it occurs or how much of a shock it will be if we don’t.
I highly recommend modern Emacs over VSCode. If you don't want to tinker, Emacs has multiple levels of preconfigured distributions like Prelude, Nano, and Doom Emacs that give the same out of the box working experience. Modern Emacs includes all of the great features of VSCode, plus much more. You get things like:

- LSP support for completion, refactoring, listing.

- Tree sitter support for super fast highlighting.

- File supporter just like VSCodes.

- Project management tools.

- Fuzzing finding for everything, including files, commands, and buffers.

- Probably the best git client out there (magit). It's seriously magical.

- Terminals (can pipe terminal contents directly into other buffers).

- DAP mode for debugging, ctags, cscope.

It's all FOSS, worked on by a non-profit foundation and volunteers, it can be used as a GUI or in the terminal, and it's insanely extensible thanks to it being a small C core running a lisp environment. Lisp is easy to learn and fun, and if you don't like lisp there's still a bazillion more packages you can install for extra features.

...and it sucks as a replacement for genuine leather.
It depends. Sometimes for work or personal reasons I just need to get something done and API docs, etc. is all I need for that. And sometimes I dig deep. I have over 50 US patents and enjoy technical work, so sometimes I do dive deep.
Or you can use inline css props with a runtime-free CSS-in-JS solutions like https://astroturfcss.github.io/astroturf/introduction/ and write real CSS.
Right! That makes sense.
TBH, this article is full of weird quirks:

It wasn't that long ago that 10 light bulbs would consume about half of that. So, lets assume 60 watt bulbs with 4 in the living room, 4 in the kitchen, and 4 in a bedroom all on. Now someone turns on a couple of floodlights outside. We are at ~1KW with no TVs, computers or air conditioners running.

At that point, do we just hope noone turns on a hairdryer? :) Someone has messed up something fundamental in this article.

Remember the early days of the internet when "experts" predicted it'd collapse as the user base grew? Much of this article reads like those.

Maintenance? What maintenance?

I set up my PiHole a couple years ago and haven't touched it since.

Granted, I didn't set mine up on a Pi, I set it up on my EC2 box in AWS. That way, I could have ad blocking on my phone without needing to expose my home network.

You seem to place humans and animals in the same moral category w.r.t. violence, specifically predation, due to your usage of "other sentient beings" in the above comment.

In your view, if a lion and a hunter both kill a gazelle, have they both committed the same moral violation?
What's really a good alternative to Tailwind that has easy support for CSS in JS?
I tried compiling "int x = 1 / 0;" in both the latest GCC and Clang with -O0 on x86-64 on Godbolt. GCC intuitively preserves the calculation and emits an idiv instruction. Clang goes ahead and does constant folding anyway, and there is no division to be seen. So the oft-repeated advice of using -O0 to try to compile the code as literally as possible in hopes of diagnosing UB or making it behave sanely, is not great advice.
> do you really want to be coding as a hobby?

Honestly, most days I wish I had kept it only as that.

> The idea of robots being legally allowed to kill has garnered some controversy.

Since these "robots" are not autonomous, you can substitute "guns" for "robots" in the above sentence. The sentence remains true but becomes banal.

The big ethical difference is that the remote trigger puller can no longer justify the act by a threat to their own life, only to other lives.
I second this. After all these years of programming it's become something I do for work with the exception of the occasional Arduino project (something mentioned more than once in this thread). As a matter of fact, I don't use computers all that much in my free time, that includes smartphones. I prefer to go swimming, cycling, lift weights, bird watching, have a drink down the pub, hang out with friends, than to stare at a screen in my free time.

It's OK to be a programmer for 40 hours a week and be anything else in the remaining hours.

uBlock Origin is the only thing that works for me, on Firefox. You can't block YouTube ads with DNS level tricks because YT serves videos and ads from the very same domain.
I agree with the majority of this. I don't take unnecessary risks, but I also drive old cars because they're fun. There's a reward in doing your own mechanic work, driving a vehicle that you get compliments on because it's just that good. Mine isn't even NICE and it gets stares because it's not beat to heck and just looks decent. Sure, new cars are shiny, but in 35 years they won't be. Will they still have enough style and classic looks to get stared at in 35 years? Probably not.
I become wary any time someone utters the phrase, "show me the data" or any variation there of. There is a specific type of leader who thinks that within the data lurks a magical solution just waiting to be discovered. There is also the leader who uses data as a trump card to win arguments and these folks are perhaps even worse. This is not new. The origination of the phrase, "lies, damned lies, and statistics," can be traced to the 1800s. I propose the following update:

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and data

I am being glib, I of course do not think all data is inconsequential, rather it is more often used from a place of ignorance or a place of ill intent it is rendered, on the whole, useless.

Suppose you have two hat color assignments. These are maps U,V from eg the natural numbers (countably many players) to C, where C in this example is all rationals in [0,1]. On some inputs, U and V may output the same value, and on other inputs they may output different values. Call this latter set Diff(U,V) := { x in Naturals such that U(x) != V(x) }.

U and V are "almost the same" if Diff(U,V) is a finite set.

This is an equivalence relation because if Diff(U,V) is finite, and Diff(V,W) is finite, then Diff(U,W) is also finite: it's a subset of the union of the other two.

The same relation exists, and is an equivalence relation, for any set of players and for any set C of hat colors. It even exists if there are only finitely many players, but it isn't interesting: in that case all assignments are equivalent.

The author set out to find reasons to dislike tailwind and found them.

I don't think tailwind really sets out to abstract away CSS, so that criticism doesn't mean much.

With tailwind you still need to know CSS. On top of that, you need to know how tailwind maps to CSS. From that perspective it's harder than CSS.

But of course, we don't connect styles directly to elements that much in practice because we need a way to organize and group styles. Hence connecting styles to classes and classes to elements.

In practice you end up with a styling language expressed as classes on elements.

But the app specific, ad hoc ones tend to bet messy, inconsistent, poorly documented, have many holes, etc.

Tailwind just gives you a well-thought-out, well documented, common class styling language. It's also nicely customizable, so you can use its tooling for your app-level stuff as well.

It does leave an app-level organizational hole, IMO -- that is, where do you express your app-level styling decisions. Tailwind has some features for this, but the grouping/sharing aspect is weak. But "component"-oriented frameworks fill the gap very nicely, making them a nice complement to tailwind.

I used it recently for a project with a custom design and it worked out very well.
Beyond/impossible aren't trying to be healthy. They're trying to be meat replacements and have similar healthiness to red meat, which they do. I prefer them to previous generation meat substitutes. They work great as ground beef replacement, much better than any vegetables.
Re #3 - AWS Global Accelerator will give you 2 anycast static IPs that you can then route at will inside AWS.
Yep. Traditionally, voltage was the "tension" applied to the system. Pulling rather than pushing there, but same idea. Still occasionally seen in "high tension lines" etc., and for some reason (worked on too many tube amps over the years?) I sometimes still write HT/LT instead of HV/LV.
I've heard the same about Nordic countries, and to be perfectly honest, it would be similar in many North American cities as well.

The point is that if a player needs a 6, they will always pick a 6. It's hard enough for people to come up with something random, but even harder if they know what number they need. Put two people opposed picking a number like this and it becomes random ish.
That’s impressive. Between work (30 hours a week) and classes (full time credit load), I’ve never had less free time than when I was in college. And I’m speaking now as someone with 2 young kids and a full time job. Something tells me your experience is not commensurate with the standard college experience. Perhaps you didn’t have a full time job or only took part time credits?
It's much more realistic, especially in the US with its absurdly low average population density, to switch to EVs than it is to retrofit the entire country to not rely on vehicles.

I don't think the "change all of our infrastructure" option is even realistic, to be honest. We can barely maintain our existing infrastructure in too many cases, let alone rebuild it all.
No, he's saying that 24-32A charging is enough.

The problem, as I see it, is that individuals may not be "rotten to the core", but movements can be. The most active participants are often the worst ones, and the less-awful ones will often make excuses for them. Even by saying nothing, but simply ignoring it while identifying with the group, they will be seen by both enemies and allies as approving of the worst behavior.

In my opinion, the best way to "get out of this mode of thinking" is for people to look at their allies and say, "Hey, can we tone it down a little?" As it is, right now, it's the ones who are not "rotten to the core" with the most ability to change things. And failing to do so means that they are, indeed, "systemically undermining good in the world".

Unfortunately, asking people to tone it down is a dangerous tactic. It may improve the world, but at a cost of decreasing your own power. That's why the nastiness not only persists, but expands.
I’ve wondered about the fourth thing. I imagine it is the marketing/sales/business people who love ads, while the techies don’t particularly like ads, so the techies, who probably are aware of ad blockers and pi hole and the such, avoid telling their business overlords about them.
Hopefully we won't end up on the slippery slope of centralization.

But even if there were a reduction in the amount of nodes, and in security vs. 51% attacks (looking at miners' profitability), BCH has shown its willingness to consider tradeoffs and changes.

There will be opportunity to backpedal if the community considers centralization is a bigger risk than adoption difficulty.

I fear BTC's downfall will be caused by its brittleness resulting from the fixed rules.

I'd ask (1) what the zipper on her left chest is for, (2) where the necklace for the charm hanging along her centerline is (or zipper if it's a zipper pull), and (3) and how the geometry / gravity works on the patch on her left chest.

They miss on things that cannot be, because they don't understand things or rules, only patterns.
Imagine telling a business owner that there is no such thing as gross revenue. The price you charge your customers doesn’t matter, because what matters is net profit.

This is an effort at political persuasion, just as the concept of “tax gap” is a deliberately manufactured effort of political persuasion by the government. It’s a great phrase to focus your attention on something, isn’t it? Ask yourself what you’re focusing on, and whose interests are served by directing your focus.

In a sense, this article is correct. The only thing that matters is whether I have a dollar in my pocket to spend on anything I want.

From a different perspective, I am converting an irreplaceable hour of my brief existence into money so I can eat and sleep in a warm, dry place. This author is telling me to ignore the gauntlet of pickpockets (government included) that make my quest harder.

Hell, no. I will keep my eyes wide open. Just as I, as a business owner, keep my eyes wide open on my financial statements, from gross revenue and pricing to net after-tax profit.

Yes, after-tax profit is the only thing I can use to go buy a hamburger. But I don’t ignore everything else upstream from that.

Can they use it to chat with classmates from high school? Given my parents generation (Boomer, born 1948), they're mostly all on Facebook, so they either use Facebook groups+Messenger, SMS, or email (yikes!).

Or is my family just weird in their chat preferences?

>One of them seems to show, albeit in an obscured way, text from a Supreme Court decision related to the PROTECT Act, a 2003 federal law that states child pornography is not protected by free speech.

This is not the whole truth; it's an excerpt from Ashcroft vs Free Speech Coalition, which was a case in which it was decided that fictional depictions of minors that don't exist nude or engaged in sexual acts is protected speech under 1A. If anything, its placement seems even tongue-in-cheek; many other countries do not have as thorough free speech protections, and such material is outright illegal.

The "Twitter users" mentioned in the article likley refers to Sh0eonhead who has a history of stirring up controversy around child sexualization with very little evidence, only insinuation and conspiracy style thinking. She's figured out that the one thing that unites the political spectrum is the mere hint of child sexualization and it's being milked for all it is. We saw similar last year, with the 'Cuties' debacle, which was also based on mere insinuation and conspiracy.

Truly a nothingburger story, like most stories based off a few tweets.
