The C128[D[CR]] is a great system in C128 mode. It can run at 2 MHz, has a huge BASIC with lots of graphics and sound commands, 80 columns, and a fast floppy drive. Of course it also has a C64 mode and a CP/M mode.

The problem with the C128 is it shouldn't have had a C64 mode. What the C128 should have been is more like the C65 that was designed later but never released. The C64 mode discouraged software developers from utilizing the C128 mode features because they were unavailable in order to achieve a ridiculous 99.99% backward compatibility.

If the C128 had been a C64 with a second 64K bank of switchable RAM, and had an enhanced graphics chip with an 80 column mode that was 100% backward compatible with the VIC-II, and perhaps a second SID for stereo (OK, I'm dreaming here a bit), developers would have written software that checked for the enhanced features and activated them if they were present. This is what almost every other computer manufacturer did (eg. Apple II series, Atari 800/XL/XE series, Acorn BBC Micro series, Amstrad CPC series, etc.). It cost them a bit of backward compatibility but they ended up with lots of software for the later models.

Bil Herd did an incredible job to get the C128 designed and working and shipped considering the lack of support he had from Commodore to do so. If he'd had some support, perhaps he could have gotten an enhanced graphics chip done. Considering what he had to work with, the C128 is one of the best 8-bit computers ever built. If you're into BASIC, it's wonderful.
Well, I think you could potentially sign any rooting app at least.

I'd like to see os-level signing so we can take older devices like Samsung tablets and put Samsung-less Android on it.
Only if he installs the "anyone else"'s app explicitly though, no?
So this salary being higher than normal, which I'm not refuting, is casuing what educational problems?
Tax at the state level and provide aid.

The gotcha is you need social services at the poor schools and programs that actually help sustain families.
Not so long ago, phrases like “rockstar” and “ninja” were pretty pervasive in software job listings.
I’ve noticed that a lot of bootcamp grads are, in fact, legitimately hired by their bootcamps - just not to write code. They are often brought on term by term as TAs until they find work.

I suspect this practice is a bit disingenuous of the bootcamps, a way to pad their “successfully employed” rates while keeping labor costs low. But it is hard for me to fault the candidates for putting those experiences in their resume. They need that money to keep their job searches going, and recruiters are always biasing against gaps on the resume.

If you’re being paid by them for any reason, put it on your resume. (And if you’re not…move it to the education section, where it belongs.)
Ah yes, prison for trying to teach something useful across a zillion regulatory domains, sinecures for administrators at “real” universities while students rack up piles of debt for English degrees.

It's not as if NYC is unique in its space problem. Most dense cities face the same issue. In SF each building has a trash room, with bins or dumpsters, the trash truck drivers pull the bins out, empty them into the truck, put them back. It's just that building owners need to devote about one apartments worth of space to a trash room. I suspect that is the challenge, getting property owners to do so.
Max Levchin’s War on Credit Cards
I think there’s lots of good reasons to consider Twitter and similar as common carriers:

The presidents and major politicians of many nations communicate via Twitter.

Major businesses, eg Gooogle and its subsidiary YouTube, only respond to customer service via Twitter, eg improper account bans.

There are some businesses, eg YouTube content creators, who you can only contact through Twitter; and some businesses, eg news agencies, which primarily source their content from Twitter.

- - - - -

> Everybody gets exactly the same deal. In that sense, Twitter arguably qualifies, but being a common carrier doesn't mean you can't ban people. Taxis and airlines are common carriers and can absolutely ban you if you don't follow their rules.

The difference comes when Twitter bans the NY Post from receiving the same treatment because they posted a true story that was politically inconvenient for Twitter leadership during an election.

There is more to it than a common carrier can “ban you for not following their rules”. Common carriers have limits on their rules:

A taxi service can’t refuse to take you to a political rally because they don’t like your politics; nor a phone company disconnect you because they don’t like what you’re saying.
> I mostly dislike how this is adding nothing new to Discord syncing subscriber status from Twitch or Patreon; doing that assigned the subscriber who connected their accounts a role, which could then be used for permissions to access content. This is all that a Discord Subscriber gets (role access to exclusive channels), besides "Premium Emotes", which is nebulous in value.

Having to use a fiddly separate system is a pain. I've got more than one membership where the whole community and content is on Discord and the Patreon exists solely to manage subscriptions; having that built into Discord seems like an obviously better alternative.

Don't take it from me:

> Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe could not comprehend von Neumann's incredible intellect: "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man."

He's certainly not alone in that opinion either, cf. Oppenheimer and the rest of "the martians" [1]; I've read several books about him, and the history of mathematics in general.

Of course we may disagree, but...

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martians_(scientists)
Exactly.

Just to spell it out some more for any other readers: this is the same reason you want (for example) a large health insurance pool, including young healthy people who don't need that insurance. The idea is to have the healthy/privileged/lucky/etc help the less fortunate ones, at any given moment, to the benefit of everyone in the longer term.

There's a necessary tension between individual choices/freedoms and a system like that, though. "Good of the one vs. good of the many," and soforth.
Religious education
My parents spent a lot of money that they could barely spare at the time to buy me the full encyclopedia set. This was pre internet so it was pretty life changing for me.
They are anyway, just woke religion instead of some other one.
Great that it was worth it for you, the discussion is about the difficulty of the task not the value
I am not claiming anything other than the fact that we do not know the training data therefore not much can be inferred about how well it generalises from some success case.
Most comments here look at this as "yet another SRS/flashcard app" and with all the usual Japanese learning app traits.

- The usual read, flip, recall, choose if you got the card right.
- The usual local Japanese voice records of the sentences to shadow to.
- The usual i+1 decks, where you learn 1 new word mixed with a sentence of words you've already learnt in previous cards.
- The usual teaches you your first 1000 words/grammar with English translations.
- The unusual common twitter/conversational/colloquial slang words taught early.
- The unusual those same first thousand words "coincidentally" allowing the first step to using monolingual Japanese-Japanese dictionaries.
- The unusual next 1000 words * 6 decks with no English, just pure Japanese that you transitioned to from only knowing the first 1000 Japanese -> English translated words.

It is a lot more amazing than most people realize from just a headline or a quick glance at the home page!

My one dopamine-inducing memory using this was against a person who has been learning Japanese for about a year with a tutor and Japanese friends vs me who has only been using the app for about a month now. We were presented with a tweet and he was confused because of a few slang terms in there, I could make out the tweet naturally as if I was reading English, although with the reading speed of a 6 year old. Granted the tweet was fairly simple with basic words just expressing the thoughts of the user. I definitely would be outmatched with a tweet/conversation with more advanced words. But at that moment, I knew I had him beat with most casual simple colloquial sentences that I don't have to internally translate back to English in my head. This is not to say who's better than who, he was clearly better in almost every way, but he was learning it textbook style. I went with the path of wanting to read the internet too, and textbook language just are like valid vibes, but lowkey, no cap, fit the internet fr fr.
“Small schools” and “school choice” usually translate to schools full of kids who look like my kid.
Composting could help too if there was a way to separate food waste from other garbage. If there’s less food there’s less rats.

But it’s probably too crowded I dunno. Maybe people should start eating the rats… lol

I doubt that is a real Google-issued certificate authority based on the issuing CA certificate having an e-mail address identified as "nbbsw@nbbsw.com". It's likely the reason this sample was removed from the post?

Hmm, I wonder, is there a way to permit vouchers while also somehow compensating for this effect?

> the transition (sometimes called "neighbor") function is the most important part by far.

And, indeed, in the 0-1 integer linear programming with Lagrangian relaxation I used there is nothing differentiable so should be counted as "gradient free". And the linear programming part and the Lagrangian part do "move" from where are to closer to "where want to be".

A thing is, the bag of tricks, techniques, that work here is large. So, right, should use knowledge of the real problem to pick what tricks to use.

If you expect to be able to buy fiat currencies without going through KYC protocols you're not going to get much satisfaction. Something I've observed about the US is it is often a financial island with the rest of the world refusing to take US clients because of the burden of KYC. Those laws aren't some sort of minor afterthought.
> If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.

Yet when Xerox and IBM were monopolies they were at their most innovative. Xerox had PARC. AT&T had Bell Labs. IBM had --- well I'm not sure but their mainframe architecture and OS was very innovative in its day.

Now that those companies are just one of dozens that do what they do, you can't name anything groundbreaking that they are producing.

Others have already answered the historical reason, but a more direct and technical answer: this is not, since that would be: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list

This is issue tracker for "apvi" (whatever it means), just happened to be hosted on "bugs.chromium.org" domain like batch of others.
How much do the “good” students help the “bad” students compared to the bad students harming the good students by disrupting classes, bringing violence to the school, or otherwise slowing down learning?

People who can afford to do so will already put their kids in private school or select good school districts. All that’s left in the others are poor kids who want to learn but are at the mercy of kids who don’t.
Just because one route is rotten doesn’t validate alternate scummy routes. Cops are rotten so drug dealers are good? Lol.
I hired a bootcamp grad and she's doing well. She did already have a mechanical engineer degree though and did program as part of that degree and so has a good mindset for solving problems. I hired her explicitly as a junior role though, I can't imagine hiring a bootcamp grad into a mid-level role directly - that would seem to be setting them up to fail?
Fuck that, NYC already has raccoons and those little trash pandas can't get where the rats can and they are too busy eating pizza and other junk. Poison is also bad as its an indiscriminate killer that wipes out the pests predators.

What NYC needs is to overturn Ghouliani's ban on ferrets and release a ton into the subways. I'll also take reintroduction of least weasels or stoats. Unlike the omnivore raccoon, ferrets are an obligate carnivore. There's something like a 2500 year history of using ferrets to hunt for rats. One of a ton of old sources on it: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42305/42305-h/42305-h.htm

EDIT: More on NYC's history with ferrets and the ban, https://observer.com/2015/01/new-yorks-most-misunderstood-ma...
What's wrong with vouchers? I did not track the issue.
A lot of discords are already paid, or invite-only secret clubs (even worse IMO). It doesn't seem any different from a paid forum, or heck, a lot of the reason people pay for OnlyFans is messaging.
> Ad-free premium search is already an option with Brave Search

Is the premium search ad-free in the sense that no user-derived data is utilized or extractable for advertising purposes?

Or is it ad free in the sense that no ads are displayed to premium tier users, but user data can still be an input for ad measurement, conversion, and modeling?
Same thought here. The domain appears to be associated with Ningbo Sunning Software, a Chinese vendor and likely a Mediatek partner than anything Android.
and...still no dotnet
And then eventually public education would die completely and then, eventually, vouchers would dry up for certain, um, classes of people, so it would be difficult for certain people to obtain any success at all because they would get zero education.
Maybe, but trying it on the device it's a constant battle, next update it will be something else.. Blocking it's access externally is reliable.
That looks really cool. Kinda makes me want to do something with it immediately.

>we get these 7-layer wedding cake Rube Goldberg machines because we want to show how ideologically pure we are in our demonstration of market efficiency

This simply doesn't connect for me in this case, given that the the New York and Chicago rat problems stem from trash collection issues under the purview of public agencies.
How are you using "woke" in this context?
It might be the case that endocrine disruptors may be increasing the likelihood a person is trans, but what you are proposing is almost certainly incorrect and would not work. Using sex-aligned hormones to cause a person to become cisgender is sometimes tried and does not appear to be effective, and I am not aware of any evidence that transgender people's pre-transition hormone levels are substantially lower than their cisgender peers. Also, this theory would suggest that eunuchs, self-identified men who voluntarily undergo gonad removal, would generally come to identify as women, but this is not the case; Similarly for men who have their testosterone suppressed as part of cancer treatment.
I believe the old ones had an adjustment, but I can confirm new units definitely do. We hardly use any salt at all.
This is just false, and profoundly ignorant of history. There was a time when the net was free, and it worked well; whether to allow commercial use of the net at all was a big debate in the early days.
What would an actual secure workflow for signing artifacts look like?

I'm thinking: Final round of "code review" by security engineer on high-security single-purpose device, build artifact on that device, sign using hardware security module.

I put "code review" in scare quotes because code changes are potentially expensive at this point. For minor issues, turn to your standard workstation and file an issue for next release. For a major security problem, call off the release.
I have no doubt that out of the thousands of religious schools out there, there are some that provide an objectively great, fact-based education. Just like I have no doubt that out of the millions of parents who want to send their kids to religious schools, there are some that want to do it for strictly secular, "education-quality" reasons. And when the miracle happens and these two combine, you're going to see a great outcome like yours. These are outliers.

The majority of parents who advocate against public schooling [edit: in America] are objecting to their public schools on ideological or religious grounds, not on the quality of the education it provides. And the majority of schools these parents run to with voucher money are going to teach their kids exactly the ideology they want. Educationally stunted young-earth creationists growing up to make sure their kids are educationally stunted young-earth creationists, too. That's not a good end result for society, and not one that a constitutionally-limited government should be funding or promoting.

Working in tech, I'm exposed the occasional parent who talks about sending their kids to private school, in order to give the kids an advantage towards getting into Stanford, or as prep for future pre-med degrees. These few are not the parents I'm talking about.
Sure, if you require every private school to accept all students for the amount of the voucher and no more.
I think that the paragraph that you quoted was in reference to Xi's decision to use CRDTs (and asynchronous communication) for exchanging data between different plugins running in the same instance of Xi. It isn't a comment about the use of CRDTs for collaborative editing, as Zed does.

If you can’t access a good school now because the one in your district is bad is that not also being denied an education?

Under choice fewer people would be denied an education by your definition.
Of course they're new policies. In this case, Apple is asking for 30% match on Ethereum gas fees paid for transferring an NFT. It's an impossible request to follow for a number of reasons. The gas fee is variable with network demand, and the fee may change depending on when it gets executed, the gas fee is paid in ETH (which Apple doesn't support), etc. Nevermind that Apple has somehow arbitrarily determined that after 5 years of Ethereum wallet apps existing on its platform that it now wants a 30% cut of blockchain network fees. Apple does absolutely nothing to maintain the network security or facilitate the transaction. This might merely be for moving an NFT from one address to another. They are completely making this policy up. Like if I use my banking app to pay my electric bill or wire money to my family member, it would be totally unacceptable for Apple to demand 30% of either the bill or the transaction fees associated with such a transfer!

Apple is half of an entrenched duopoly in the mobile market. It is reasonable to restrict trillion dollar monopolies (or oligopolies!) from imposing a 30% tax on all web transactions. Not merely to restrict them from making it difficult to switch. It's unacceptable. It's exploitative. It's antitrust behavior. It's got to stop.
I made a mistake but everyone knows what picture I'm talking about. It's not a lie.

So it was a child carrying a doll that had BDSM gear. But that's funny cus if the girl was the one in BDSM gear, that would make it wrong? Is that the line?
> so much as "this is going to utterly destroy things."

There are people actively trying to destroy public education. So, you are spot on.
I think the attack vector cannot be simply said to be "being able to run software of your choice on your device". We don't describe victims of emails with malicious attachments as having been compromised via the attack vector "sideloading" (or whatever the non-mobile equivalent of the word is). With this framing, it gets really easy to see sideloading as an evil that must be disallowed for our own good and we end up with devices that can do nothing that is not, with every update of every app again and again, judged to be allowable by an overseas vendor from another culture. What would be a better description though, something like installing software from a malicious source?
educating children is a collective good for society, not a service provided only to deserving children with rich parents. taxes pay for collective things that we need as a society, like roads, health care, sanitation, and educating the next generation.

if you want to send your kid to a private school, that's okay, you should have that choice. but you should not get to choose to stop paying taxes just because you've made that choice. deciding to opt out of paying taxes is not an option you get in any other aspect of society.
that claim is stupid. for example, most places where cats are endemic don't have rats (rome, istambul, tunis, ...)
Good bootcamps won't need to pad their employment numbers, because they'll be producing good quality candidates. So all you're really doing is highlighting the fact you went through a lower quality bootcamp. There's so many bootcamps I don't know which ones are legitimate and which are scams. Without that signal on the candidate's CV, I'd have no idea where the one the candidate has been through ranks. However, to me that's a clear indication that the bootcamp (or perhaps the candidate) are dodgy.
PoS hasn’t had much impact. The leveling out there is more like related to fewer transactions. Proto dank sharding, which may ship in 2023, should have a bigger impact on gas fees.
