I have a mirrorless camera that I still use regularly. Three events in the last year have called my attention:

* While I was taking pictures at night, two teenagers came to me and asked me to take a picture of them. Apparently one of them wanted to know what it would look like, since the fact that I had a camera clearly indicated that I knew what I was doing (it didn't). I didn't have the heart to tell him that it would look pretty much the same as the phone he definitely had in his pocket, but luckily he gave me a wrong Instagram address so that problem solved itself.

* On that same night, one guy started yelling at me (pushing his head against mine) because he thought I had taken a picture of his car.

* I was interviewed in a popular tourist destination, and the interviewer explicitly asked me about why I had a camera instead of a phone.
I meant that the magazine is not literally dead, but in the sense of "dead to me".
Yeah it really is, also its not a migration its a rewrite. This is just hot trash.

Great tool.

It's a very numerous thing that needs to be sorted often, and composed of items with similar shapes.

That combination isn't very common. But I wouldn't be surprised if somebody invented it 2 or 3 millennia ago either.
Interesting study with relevant findings. I'd like to see it replicated in Asian and African countries to see how much of it is universal vs cultural. If it turns out to not be universal, that would raise more questions to study.

Have a look at Carp for real-time applications: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp

Carp is a statically-typed, GC-less Lisp that implements Rust’s borrow-checking. It is implemented in Haskell and compiles to C. It shares some syntax with Clojure, but I wish it was more Clojurey.
I wish datasets like this were more integrated into Zillow and friends; being able to see at a glance what the neighborhood is wired for would be quite nice.

> Just FYI, hate speech being free speech is an American thing. Other democracies in the world have frameworks for limiting/prioritizing basic rights, right to free speech included (take, for example, German moderation laws) and have not become a totalitarian dystopias yet.

Sure, and America hasn't become a country of hate speech or devolved into tyranny yet either, despite what some claim, so do those laws actually add any value? Seems speculative at best.

> One opinion I've heard in Germany is that the free speech absolutism and value neutrality of the constitution of the Weimar Republic allowed NSDAP to take power in the first place.

Some of their first moves after taking power was crack down on speech and imprison people that spoke out against them. What would have happened if free speech was a strongly held principle among the people such that they wouldn't have tolerated that? What if dissenting voices had been permitted to speak about and expose the secret death camps?

There’s a difference between a lack of depth and a fabrication.

It’s pretty simple to understand the gist of the problem: modelling something and actually creating it are different things.

The above notwithstanding, yes, one execrable article cannot kill a publication.
I agree with the sentiment of your post. I can absorb a 10% bump in prices without really blinking. But the bottom 50% of Americans cannot.

I wish it was as cut and dry as telling them to just strike, but I don’t think it’s that simple.
>>>Fuck the shareholders. Strike. Yes, I am absolutely willing to pay more in the short term for things so that people are treated with a little basic human decency.

Each day the rail industry strikes costs 2 billion dollars.

This type of loss would most certainly have a permanent effect on prices. Given how bad inflation is currently, this would further drive inflation higher. This complicates the decision to strike when people are already having trouble affording basic necessities as it is.
Because the white club is one uniform group. In that case I don't even need any more details, since this is such an obvious oversimplification and frankly speaking even racist. "The white response" ...
> White union workers voted against their labor interests

What were these interests, and was their intent at the time of "voting against their interests" to injure their own group, and if not what was it?

Do we have any insights into their state of mind when taking these actions, and a clear objective understanding of their actual interests, or is this just your interpretation of their actions?
And yet you'd have a really tough time finding a white collar gig where paid leave wasn't a bog-standard part of the package. So nah, rail companies are getting caught out because they are absolutely fucking around with this.

Quadsort, fluxsort, blitsort, and crumsort all qualify depending on your needs.

skasort_cpy is pretty good on 32 bit integers if you give it n auxiliary memory.

rhsort is very good and likely the best for 31 bit integers, but a bit rough around the edges still, and doesn't work well on arrays above 1M elements. Avoid radix sorts for 64 bit integers, they're ideal for 16 bit.

glidesort is promising, though I haven't seen it benched against the latest fluxsort / blitsort.

Timsort's main problem is that it's slow on shuffled arrays.

pdqsort and other introsorts aren't good on semi-ordered data.
This looks like a fantastic update for bigger servers.
When you read books, do you remember what device you read them on and what locations you were at while reading, or do those things fade away?

I had a look at my Mom’s early kindle 2 from 2009 this morning. I can’t help but to think of how well it has stood up considering it’s age. It is white, has page flipping buttons and a very modest round button keyboard at bottom. The screen is probably less than half of the area of the front face. And yet it has charm. I wouldn’t want to read anything that depends on layout or technical books on here, but for novels- I think it is great.
Not related, but your place sounds beautiful
Until their rewrite. Now it's ... bleh.
You can have good socialistic healthcare, and welfare country. You can also have open borders. You can't have both.

It's basic stability condition. People will flow to the socialistic welfare or against it, and it's not going to stop until forces equalize, a.k.a it's just as good staying in the worst country as it is moving to the better welfare one. Since people moving tends to harm the other country the immigration is from, it should bring both down.

Only one side has a stable condition. It's a matter of common sense at this point. If one side advocated for closed borders with subsidized healthcare, that's fair enough and maybe even better choice.

P.S. socialized healthcare works well in Israel for example.
Democrats would argue Walker is a terrible candidate boosted by outside influence. Republicans would argue Warnock is a terrible candidate boosted by outside influence. Not sure I've seen many argue a 50/50 split.
The key word here is "opposing", not "another", "separate", or "sovereign". Meaning their values are at odds with yours.

So the response should be "duh".
I think I know what you mean. I would not say it is incoherent, but it does not have the extreme uniformity of <tag> attributes> children </tag>. I actually bring some of that back in my Flutter/MX extension to CLJD. :content, :child, :body, and more all are expressed uniformly _and_ implicitly by nesting. Check out the examples.

OTOH, so far I am OK with the idea of forever adding nested widgets just to add some styling, and making children implicit makes the code look less "busy", but look for me to sneak in soon a DIV macro supporting the classic HTML attributes. That will be fun!
You've brought up good points here. Our "corporate climate" often isn't the best, that's probably why this leads to lots of upset people.
In an ideal world, yes.

In my personal experience (AWS, VMware), if the company you work for doesn't have a culture which is conducive to this type of behavior, you are going to be frustrated most of the time.

Extra hint: other people from the same company will have different priorities (self, self again, and something else), and if the company allows them to behave like that, you're screwed.
> Wouldn't rehydrating the specific page which uses web component eliminate the need for explicit SSR support in the JS framework

Erm.... No. If you don't have SSR then it doesn't matter if it's web components or not: they will be instantiated at runtime.

> it comes down to whether the framework has good support web-components or not in the first place?

All of them have decent support for web components (at least for "consumption").

The reasons they don't support them as a foundation (and at most emit web components if you tell them to) is that they don't want to deal with all the stuff like no SSR support, the need to still have all the layers above for things like lazy loading, progressive enhancement and a whole laundry of issues that none of the non-web-component frameworks have: [1][2]

I loved traveling to the to the UK as an American. My only regret is that I din’t learn the language first.

So many of the things in London were slightly funny. Road and tube line/stop names (Piccadilly, Elephant & Castle), restaurants (Assault & Battery [fish & chips shop], Nicomsoup), the price of a doughnut and small coffee at Piccadilly (£7.40) and staggering, jet lagged, into a Piccadilly Circus Starbucks for a morning Butty.

This was also the trip that I played “Prounce That” with a group of Django developers.

What’s “Pronounce That”? Well, we noticed that we kept pronouncing things differently so we started taking turns writing down a common Python/Django package and saying “pronounce that”.

Psycho-PG was probably my favorite.
>"I can't justify spending time manually tweaking every RAW file when smartphones do it well 99% of the time."

As soon as one looks at photo on larger 4K monitor the difference is striking. And you do not even have to dick with raw files to see the difference. Plain JPEG coming out of my relatively ancient D800 puts best smartphone cam to shame. Size matters and full frame sensor vs one in smartphone are incomparable.

That is not to say that smartphone can not take decent photos and in many cases what is being photographed matters way more than the picture quality as long as it is not atrocious.
Implied in this: White and black people are distinct, different groups. Good luck approaching these issues with that preconception.

i am a big advocate for common lisp use but i still don't see your point. are you saying that the whole point of having a clojure on rust is to have native compilation? because i imagine "clojure on rust" for the parent means having a clojure-like-syntax on rust, keeping in mind that rust is a statically typed language (kind of a big point of rust)
TLDR: during training back propagation means we need to send data 2 ways: input data from input => output, and error data (wanted_result - output) from output => input, updating the weights of the network to work better.

This is the main source of performance bottlenecks and also an obvious difference between natural and artificial neural networks. The brain does not even seem to have error signals, and we also can't seem to find any signal going in the opposite direction of propagation. It requires that you have an error signal ... and that means it requires knowing the right answer to the problem the algorithm is trying to solve. Also quite important to some companies: sending data in 2 directions through the network places serious limitations on parallelization of neural network training. It is one of the big causes that Google/Facebook/MS(OpenAI)/... only seem to have a 1y or less headstart over the rest of the industry, despite billions of investment.

Forward - forward tries to do online learning by training the network to differentiate between real and fake-but-really-realistic signals with data going in the same direction every time.
Thanks!
Yes - I built it because I was getting a huge influx of support requests from users with websites in the EU (Germany more specifically), concerned with Google Fonts.
I'm pretty sure most Americans don't "see" anything outside the US. Even on Hacker News you see the phenomenon where people tend to dismiss solutions popular and proven to work everywhere else as somehow hypothetical and untested, or at least immediately confabulate some random knee-jerk reason why "it could never work in the US". American exceptionalism is truly a force to be reckoned with.
The following is satire.

Tax revenue would get redistributed on a per car basis.

The real difference is the level of driver engagement and support, of which roads get maintenance.

Road districts want to retain good vehicles & drivers for the same reasons those people want to leave.

Rich drivers are dragged down by poor drivers, but poor drivers are dragged up by good drivers.

There is clearly a winner and loser to the arrangement, but it isn't because the road gets less tax revenue per car.
Thank you! I've heard that on a episode of Avenue 5 and it was confusing
That's actually problem with DSLRs. Phone use the tiny sensor they have to its fullest, DSLRs mostly treat it as it was a film, and not try to reap all the benefits of digital processing and ability to shoot a bunch of images in quick succession.

Instead of shooting at 1/8 or 1/15 in low light it could "just" shoot images at 1/125 or even 1/1000 then compensate for minute movements of the camera to get perfect sharpness, and then merge them to denoise it, and boom, near-noise-free, near blur free (just the blur from target movement, not the photographer) image in low-light.
That's shifting where the pie goes. It's not making more pie.

> because some undeserving person (who is not in their group) might get it.

Surely someone, somewhere feels like this, but it’s more often a strawman argument used to make opposing arguments more easily dismissible. The discussions I have with people offline aren’t interested in these types of dismissals. I know many people who genuinely want better healthcare, cheaper education, and stronger social safety nets but who disagree with the specifics of proposals. Like most things in politics, if an argument reduces the other side to an easily-dismissible evil, it’s probably not an accurate representation of the counterarguments.

From real world anecdotes, the concern about things like student loan forgiveness (as the most recent example of an expensive social program being debated) are more about the extreme cost of the program contributing to an ever increasing list of expenditures. People are nervous about the amount of government spending and how it’s being distributed semi-randomly. This goes back to the rampant COVID loans to businesses, the stimulus programs that far overshot their target, and now proposals to give certain households with up to $250K income a free $10K.

People understand that these things do matter in a society where we’re all bidding for a limited supply of homes and such. It’s nice to imagine someone having a reduced debt load, but people still think about where that money comes from and how the uneven distribution of that money gives some people (excluding those who paid their loans off early) a financial leg up in places like the competitive housing market.

It’s all connected. The money must come from somewhere, and we’re all operating within the same markets. It’s disingenuous to pretend that there are no consequences for these programs, which IMO is where politicians fall far short of structuring them and pitching them to a wider audience.
Is that true for student loans? I don't have the numbers, but I'd bet the group of people who have paid off their loans are against bailing out the group who hasn't.
The bottom 50% can strike and request the share they need to survive the price hike too. All boats rise.
Which it quite often is. Like the example they show with the early-game check with the queen, putting the king in check by placing a totally undefended piece within one square of the king is (usually) a suboptimal move, and the king taking that piece will (often) be the most optimal way of getting out of check.

In this variant the attacking piece will effectively be protected by how bad its move was. Creates some interesting incentives - the only way to checkmate is a move that is normally not optimal and has only one way out of check.
The article's conclusions depend entirely on the definition of harm and seems to ignore the particular group's perception of it.

For example one citation used in support of the conclusion is conservative's opposition to getting the COVID vaccine. That group perceived harm in getting the vaccine (whether right or wrong). The article claims the group opposed the vaccine merely as a reaction to the vaccine push from outside the group.

So maybe the conclusion would be stronger if stated as "groups have a hard time making rational calculations of harm when facing a perceived threat from an outside group".

Doesn't really change it too much, but it seems quite unsupported in its assumption that these groups actually perceived themselves to be harming themselves.
What was your first computer? My first one was shared by my family- a Tandy 5000. Absolutely quirky and wonderful machine. Could do music, animations, text to speech.
Whether or not you agree with their classification, I'd posit nearly any seated SF politician self-categorizes as "left-leaning." Pretending this isn't the case is what's disingenuous, most Americans I've met don't really care how their politicians compare to ones across the pond, and why should they?. Saying they're not left-wing enough when compared to foreign politicians doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
And they got it. The president and Congress completely laid down and gave their belly to fucking private equity groups.
One international example of this is when there was the nuclear negotiations going on between Iran and the other superpowers a few years ago. While the negotiating team was working hard to come to a compromise and finalise the deal, there was severe lobbying and backstabbing going on within the country to undermine those efforts. This went as far as discrediting the negotiators and even making up criminal cases for them even though they were instructed by the top authorities to finalised the deal.
Yeah, and the rail companies don't pay them a dime more than the minimum it costs to get a human being to subject themselves to the kinds of working conditions and risk on offer so let us not insinuate that rail crews are a bunch of over-paid malingerers.

My late friend Hugh Daniel used to refer to his Bihn's backpack as his "LSD", for "Life Support Device". Like when we were leaving the house he'd shout "Oh no, I forgot my LSD! I'll be right back!" then run back in and fetch his backpack.

But now my smartphone is my LSD.

Hey, something maybe for one here I can shed some light on, for those who want a little more than the article gives. ;)

I am a supervisor on a commuter rail, and in this respect they operate in a similar fashion.

Like any other business, profits are key. Someone figures out staffing. Pretty much cut and dry. For a line from terminal A to B, there is one train per hour in each direction, 48 trains in a day. We need for example a supervisor at each end, and one engineer and conductor per train. So, say that gives us 48 train crews, and 6 supervisors per day. So, we hire 6 supervisors, and 51 train crews - in case someone calls out sick.

What happens if someone calls out sick? A supervisor? We keep costs down there by requiring the on duty supervisor to stay an additional shift. A crew member? We have that extra crew. If we have too many people call out sick, we force on duty crews to stay on overtime. We don't want to be doing that, now do we? That affects the bottom line.

If no crew is available at all, then the train doesn't run. This is also bad, as it upsets the customer.

Running with a "skeleton crew" ensures we are not spending more on labor than we have to. This is because in some markets, paying fewer workers overtime still comes in at less than having more people to whom benefits are paid.

So, the employees are intimidated into coming to work every day.

What the freight railroads are doing here is forcing the employees to use their vacation pay when they are sick to discourage them from calling out sick at all, in effect penalizing them for calling out sick. That vacation you had planned with the family? Either lose a day (which may require you to cancel altogether), or come to work sick. If they have paid sick leave, they'd use it when sick rather than showing up to work.

My agency uses a different tactic, just as effective in the employer's view, but no less exploitative of the employee. When an employee calls out sick, a Special Inspector may be sent to their home to check if they are really sick and at home. If the employee doesn't answer the door (They're sleeping and don't hear the door? Doesn't matter), they're charged with falsely calling out sick, and face suspension or termination.

Edit: This industry can be very time sensitive. It may not seem to you a big deal if say a train is late, but cargo is critical or a passenger gets to work late, that is not a good thing. The shipper may take some action if it happens enough. That passenger may start driving.
> For historical reasons we now call hand computers phones

Recently, I've been wondering why the name "phone" has stuck around for a device that has evolved with many more features than that of a telephone. I'm not going to pretend I know a lot about the history of these technologies, but I just find it fascinating that we've kept this identification to something that really provides so many core utilities. I'm curious to know more about the historical implications you alluded to.

Alternatively (and maybe quite a stretch), could I argue that our smartphones are just providing telecommunications to other services, namely, the APIs that they interact with to serve us things like GPS functionality, audio, etc., hence the name "phone"?
Came to say the same!
