Do you really think that capitalism is the apogee of survival of the fittest? I am not sure, I personally don’t think that survival of the fittest is something to look out for, but I think that capitalism awards mental issues like greed, psychopaths, or people with good intelligence but poor genetics? I think as a system it rewards what is useful for the system but not necessarily only the fittest and also think that probably our species not focusing on the fittest has made us make a lot of advancements in fields like medicine
In France there are a lot of new laws every year (~100) but at least on third of them will not be enforced, mostly because there is no budget to implement them, or it is political gesticulation to please some electors [0].

For example over the year 2009/2010, 59 laws, which provided for 670 implementing decrees, were promulgated.

According to a Senate report, as of September 30, 2010, only 3 laws had received all of their implementing decrees. And only 20% of these decrees had seen the light of day. However, a law without an implementing decree is useless: it is not applicable.

Keep going though.

It’s not just about “taste”.

We have always needed opinionated people to be able to push their ideas. That’s what Linus is, Jobbs was, like him last year or hate him this year Musk, Eminem, Pulitzer, Jefferson, Tesla or Edison, Stuart Mill, the Wrights, and so on to any major or minor scale…

The best things come from opinionated people who were told they couldn’t go against the grain like that.

We’ve have rejected that idea. Everything is run by MBAs who avoid opinionated in favor of a boring mass appeal.

Look at big tech in the last decade… who was actually opinionated? What is actually worth a damn in 10-15 years? Zuck and Dorsey are clowns. Bezos seemed to have some great ideas on how a company should communicate internally but to an effect that is insanely boring (but reliable which is good for something else). Uber and Etsy and Apple after jobs, none of them show opinion, not in a “dangerous” sense.

We’ve conditioned ourselves into conformity because being opinionated is to be “an asshole”. We told assholes they aren’t welcome with CoCs and that every opinion is equally valid, with virtue signaling and post modernism of “my truth”, and that you can forgo everything else if it people buy it.

We’ve silenced anyone who could make something beautiful because it also might be offensive.

Early chatbots (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) could come very close to fooling people with two skills: (1) active listening and (2) changing the subject.

I'd suggest writing a few paragraphs describing the above behaviors in great detail.
>your program was very close to hardware with very little in between if not running completely free from OS abstractions

This! It also meant that it was very very easy for any program or misbehaving driver to completely crash your system. Not to mention all the security implications of every app having direct hardware access.
I honestly don't understand your point.

Do you also consider stores having price information bad?

Yeah, this is the kind of article that should be written by an open-minded anthropologist, not a Stanford grad intent on being opinionated. Unfortunately, every time a "hit piece" like this gets published, it makes the Internet just a little bit less weird and amenable to interesting subcultures.
I never bought into the "eye of the beholder" on aesthetics.

I might not understand a particular aesthetic. It might be impossible to formulate logical rules to decide what is beautiful. But beauty is objective, nonetheless.

Be it an exquisite Japanese drawing of a bird with ink and rice paper, or Caravaggio, anyone with a soul can see that talent, effort, and a sense of "wholeness" went into creating both.

I, personally, cannot appreciate Chinese calligraphy art; but I don't doubt for a second it is beautiful and I could appreciate its beauty if I cared to learn Chinese calligraphy.

On the other hand, 1950s brutalist buildings, by their own architect's admission, are ugly. An attempt by nihilist "artists" to force their rejection of aesthetics on others. A sea of grey cement m, jagged lines, and boxes resembling prison cells reflect the architects' sense that we are oppressed... and then shove that claustrophobic feeling on all of us too dumb or too happy to be suffer from ennui.

The manufacturers can certify their changes to be emissions legal. They already need to go through the process to certify every new model of car they make and have the equipment and know-how to do the paperwork, so it's not a huge deal for them.

You can go through the same process, but you likely can't afford it.

> If I ever create a programming language, one thing I'd like to try is to promote integer operations to larger types, so there is never overflow.

Are there any languages other than Lisp and Python that have automatic bignum support?
biggest issue for me isn't just the selection->action framework, but that so many of the keys are completely different from vim, and no piece of documentation covers them. I tried using helix, but after searching for 5 minutes "how to do x in helix", I just gave up and went back to vim. I'm doing going to do a search for every operation.

I think if helix wants to get much wider adoption, they should seriously investigate making a keybinding that works as close to vim as physically possible. This is the biggest thing holding it back from taking over imo.
It's still wrong for signed integers if a/2 rounds towards zero. You need a>>1 and b>>1.
At the end of the day, the purpose of the standardized tests is to provide a reasonable guide to admitting students who are (subject to various caveats) capable of doing the academic work. It's mostly true to say that elite universities are not looking to admit students solely (or maybe even primarily) on the basis of their scores on standardized test(s). And, yes, other factors are perhaps more influenced by family background but can be influenced by many other non-academic qualities as well.

I think it is more implying that friends that you have exclusively online are more of psuedo-friends than real friends. Especially if they make no effort to continue communication after you stop using whatever form of social media you were using before.
Suspiciously similar to a certain someone who failed an art admission and went on to start off a war that killed around 70-80 million people? History does repeat itself.
Wow lot of complains here. I've had a good experience interviewing with Amazon few months ago. Recuiter was supper supportive and following up constantly. The interview rounds were also relatively nice. The only thing was to prep for all those behavioral questions. Been working there for a few weeks and so far better than what I expected.

Aha, I guess twitter threads follow a predictable pattern in every language.
Yes.... Just one example if you are curious. At some point NGCC broke parallel builds. https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/38875#issuecomment...

The project I'm upgrading is a library used by other downstream projects. My goal was to release a working version of the library for each Angular release. However, I could never resolve this particular issue and just had to skip that version of Angular.

Another common problem I ran into - dependencies that support, for example, ng11 and ng14 but not ng12 or ng13. So your options are to skip that version of Angular, try to replace or remove the dependency, or beg the author to add support for a version of Angular that is years out of date.

And material components version 15 has a breaking change around custom themes that means either I cannot upgrade to that version, or I have to completely rewrite the entire theming functionality within my project. So yes, I can run ng update @angular/material@15 and migrate the code easily, but that doesn't mean "it just works".

To be clear, I'm not complaining about Angular, or anything else in particular here. In my case, the decisions of the original authors caused upgrading to be more difficult than it needed to be. My point is, without knowing the details of any particular project, it's easy to see how upgrading across several major versions can quickly turn into a nightmare of rewrites.

I especially love it when people with no knowledge of your code or the systems around it presume to know where the bottlenecks are and tell you to optimize a piece of code nowhere in the vicinity of the critical path. A huge part to optimization is realizing that you have limited time and you want to focus on optimizing the stuff that matters, which means if anyone ever gives you unsolicited advice, they're wrong. Until they've profiled your code, they have no idea where the key optimizations can be found.
> Early in the year I made the switch from Modo (by The Foundary) to Blender 3.x

Hah, that's me. Except i was out of CG for ~7 years or w/e. I used Modo extensively from 1.0 to .. i want to say 5.0 or something. Tons of modeling. I adored Modo for modeling. This was all before they were bought by Foundary or w/e, though. Back when it was Luxology.

Maybe you have an opinion here.. but how is Blender for modeling? Specifically when 3D Navigating. So far i've found Blender to be .. okay, like it has all or almost all the tools i remember from Modo... but something just feels different. Modo felt so fluid, intuitive. Especially with 3D navigation. Something just doesn't feel as good about 3D Nav compared to Modo. But i can't put my finger on it.

Regardless, Blender has so much power i absolutely adore it. I'm just trying to capture that fluidness that i had in Modo. Yet i can't articulate what it is. Which.. sucks, heh.
Not amusing, but true, is the story of Willem Arondeus [1], who in 1943 destroyed 800,000 identity cards from the Municipal Office for Population Registration in Nazi-occupied Netherlands in order to increase the efficiency of forged documents. The state power, murderous or not, is the sole beneficiary of the "family" name.

As an actor myself, I find that the Oscar bait is often the "Academy Award for the Most Acting". It has become a cliche that you seek an Oscar by playing a highly damaged character with obvious quirks.

More subtle performances are usually passed over, even though I consider them more challenging. They're often nominated, but rarely win.

Which is fine, since those kinds of films are usually not going to attract big audiences. The Academy Awards are a big industry advertisement, and they get the most bang for their buck by promoting a film that could catch the attention of an audience but hasn't yet.

I find that audiences are often puzzled by the Oscar winners. They go see them, and don't see what the fuss is about. But that does at least fund the next round of movies that are different from the summer blockbusters (which make plenty of money and need no help).
Hi everyone! I want to align everyone expectations and say this is not related to the Elixir language itself but rather the Elixir ecosystem.

The language has been stable for years and non-minor features always discussed upfront through several proposals. With that said, if you are interested on the work happening on types, I wrote recently about it here: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2022/10/05/my-future-with-elixi...

This announcement is about a new project, which we are very excited about and working on for months. We hope to officially release it tomorrow (Thu UTC). We are dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s right now.

I was definitely not expecting this to make to the front page, I should perhaps be more careful the next time. :)
TypeScript's infer shouldn't scare you
Hi everyone!

Here's an article I wrote to help understand the infer keyword: https://medium.com/inato/typescripts-infer-shouldn-t-scare-y...

Hope you'll find it interesting and that you'll learn a few things from it!
I don't know, it might just be me but if you're going to write an article (a really long one) bemoaning how everything is ugly you need to provide more than one picture. I want picture proof, not long descriptions that leave me to imagine. Pictures paint a thousand words and all that!

"unfounded conspiracy theories, and trying to rile up society, so they can seize power and abolish democracy as a whole"

Clicking the link to that blockchain service informs you that it is "Not Available in the U.S." Some blockchain.

To answer your question - the point of a blockchain would be a universal and uncensorable key store the Telegram client can point back towards. The fact that Telegram is centralized is less important when messages are encrypted. It would still in theory offer a way to bootstrap connections with people that is less vulnerable to censorship than relying on a central server, but I don't know and won't speculate more on the details of the specific blockchain they are using.
tl;dr

Many of the Hertz cases involved customers who had called to extend their rental agreement, but the extensions were not properly reflected in Hertz's computer systems. Other cases involved Hertz re-renting cars that had previously been reported as stolen without rescinding the police reports, causing unsuspecting customers to be pulled over by police. At other times, stolen cars were accidentally associated with the wrong customer, resulting in an arrest warrant for someone who was out of state entirely.
This is nice, I've used Litestream for a personal project. I wonder how it compares to something like rqlite [1] with larger datasets

The metadata exists in special karaoke recordings, but assuming they're using original recordings not created/modified for karaoke, they'd have to create it on the fly:

I'd guess it's done using the same speech-to-text system used by voice assistants, which can certainly show the words it hears in near-realtime -- and way more quickly when it already knows what words it's listening for.

By the way, karaoke often highlights individual syllables, not just whole words.

The mental hoops some of those commenters jump through to claim it would be censorship for Wikipedia to not have a page dedicated to this is astounding.

All the 'delete' comments are just saying that the content is valid, just as a subset of a pre-existing page. Which sounds totally appropriate as the 'Twitter Files' stuff is just Twitter's outing of its own internal discussions. There's nothing new there that warrants an entirely new article.

It's not censorship to nest it inside the larger article on the laptop debacle.
There are 15 competing standards...
The most common pattern I’ve noticed is that news publications will typically include small snippets from the primary source, and then fill the bulk of their article with what amounts to opinion commentary.

It ends up being something that’s technically factual (at best), but spends most of its time trying to convince you of how to feel about the info, rather than just relaying information to you.

This has also inspired me to build a news aggregator site that consists entirely of primary sources like government agencies, company/organization announcements, and statements directly from the person in question on their verified social media.
The 787 simulates a much lower altitude and has more humid air I believe which makes recovering from long flights much easier in my experience. I look forward to the 777X which has the features of the 787 with the space of a 777.

Fascism via "vokisch" movements and ideas attempted to more or less co-opt and own romanticism, classicism, and other forms of non-"modernist" aesthetics. As a result you had a counter-reaction that labeled these things fascist and embraced intentionally minimal, modernist, or decadent themes in rebellion against them.

The solution is probably to de-fascize(?) classical and romantic aesthetics. Not sure how you'd do it though since if you search Twitter for random people with greek and classical looking avatars they're inevitably raging racist totalitarians or nihilistic /pol troll types.

Maybe you could do it with shocking-to-fascists heresy like "woke" propaganda wrapped in neoclassical high culture aesthetics. No idea.

Of course it could also be useful to just point out that fascism is really a form of "high modernism." Fascism is a form of "we are smart people who know better and are going to centrally plan and re-make culture the way we think it should be," which is precisely what's wrong with the high modernist approach to the inhabited landscape.
I work at a fairly large Python shop and we have some real performance problems with Python.

Most real world software will use many core libraries implemented in C/C++ for doing the heavy lifting. Just the FFI and creating all those Python objects makes it slow.

Python is a great language for prototyping and/or usage as a glue code.

Personally, I am more inclined to use Go for anything quick and performant. If Carbon language becomes a reality, I would bet on that since it allows seamless interoperability with C++ (and there is a large existing eco system). Else, time to learn Rust.
Yes. Because the game is the medium for connection, and overcoming challenges in a group of people who want to do that is pretty magical. GitHub is similar in the sense that people have a shared, common goal. I love stuff like that.

Most traditional social media doesn’t work as well for me. I need an underlying common goal.
Understood. But again as traffic increases, those direct flights will themselves become a bottleneck, and there are so many fights you can run through a runway (with most major airports already at full capacity pre-covid). So at one point those planes will need to be bigger.

>While CharlotteFang may be termed something close to reactionary (if your IQ is low and you can only think of 3 or 4 political archetypes)

I would put them more in the neo-Nazi / pseudo-Esoteric Hitlerist archetype (https://archive.ph/qlYqD):

>How to save a nation in 5 steps:

>First, you kill the Jews, who always seek to ruin and exploit other nations.

>Then, you remove any peoples who are not native to the country in question*.

>Then, you remove any vestigial influence left by the Jews, either by re-education, physical removal or otherwise. This includes everything under the cultural marxist platform: feminism, homosexuality, "sexual revolution," etc.

>Then, you will work to re-coup and re-discover any heritage that may have been lost due to Jewish influence. You will work to carefully modernize your country based on the principles traditional to its native culture.

>Now you may allow non-natives into the country but with limited rights on a temporary basis. Other peoples and countries will not be discriminated against, they will each be considered meritable under their own culture; but nothing will be done to draw their influence into the country's own identity.

And before one argues this was edgy rusing and meming and LARPing and all that, CharlotteFang/Miya was an active, long-time moderator and owner of several 8chan /pol/ offshoot imageboard websites and boards, as well as a heavy poster on the original 8chan /pol/, all of which have connections to neo-Nazi mass shootings, including one attempted mass shooting of a synagogue (who Miya and friends affectionately refer to as "doorcuck" because he failed to breach the door of the synagogue and resigned himself to murdering some nearby civilians instead).

You seem to be conflating investors with owner/operators?
