That's more reasonable than spending $200M on the world's most expensive art film slash fictional physics lecture.
> Ideally, the features needed for writing bigger codes should be optional.

Newer languages like Rust, Swift and arguably Carbon don't make programming-in-the-large features "optional"; they make them as lean as possible, so that users can more easily apply them at the outset compared to older languages like Java/C#. That way even a screenful-length trivial script can potentially grow into a larger system without becoming unmaintainable in the process.
> But that's just more evidence that we shouldn't take parts of a phrase and start interpreting them out of context.

I agree, but I still think that it is better to use more descriptive and clear words; "anonymous review" seems more descriptive and clear to me than "blind review" does.

(I also don't like the words "metric ton" and "tonne"; I think "megagram" is more descriptive and clear, so it is better.)

1Password is objectively getting worse: 1Password 7 has 4.3 stars on the App Store and 1Password 8 has a measly 2.7 stars. 1Password 7 is no longer receiving updates (it's no longer for sale either). 1Password 8 requires iOS 15, so the updates that you're paying for as part of your subscription model require that you pay for a new phone to get them.

Anthropomorphizing transformers are we. The analogy visualizes how inconvenient for cashiers to buy carrots but transformers don't care - it's easy and free.
> 2. Realize the program does not work because the types have different sizes now

Such an enormous amount of time in C/C++ programming is devoted to accounting for the size of an int, long, wchar_t, and long long being unreliable when porting.

This is why D has int fixed at 32 bits, long fixed at 64 bits. It's amazing how the problems just melt away.

Now, just remember to use size_t for everything used as an index, and you're good to go. (ptrdiff_t is almost never needed.)
I don't think the recent changes at Twitter would affect how section 230 applies.

This long running attempt to heavily qualify/greviously restrict who gets the ability to host user content without being terrorized but their users is a very weird demented twist on what the cheese intent was, which was a broad protection for sites to make most of them not responsible for users. Being picky somewhat about what you host doesn't change that.
Comic Sans is a pretty good font, it's only sin is having been the default in Microsoft Word for several years.

Your employer could also be tired of you being a subscription for them but this is what it takes to make people work for you continuously :)
Mountain lions are not as much of an apex predator as their namesake seems to suggest. Attacks on humans are exceedingly rare especially considering how many of them live in close proximity to humans. You won’t see them during the day (and if you, get far away from it) but you may see them at night, usually on trail cameras. If you are walking around mountain lion country at night, you are very likely being watched closely. I try not to think about it when I’m up at my cabin.

Unless they are literally starving, they are usually very timid and shy. Humans are especially terrifying to wildlife. We walk very tall, make a bunch of strange noises, we have tools, lights, automobiles, and otherwise signal that we are the apex predator.
Algorithms are about correctness. Being incorrect disqualifies an algorithm as a solution to a problem.

Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience, in most cases.

It definitely depends on the query, but Kagi seems to do better at common (for me) queries. In particular, it tends to recommend authoritative sources instead of clickbait/SEO sources (e.g. official documentation instead of w3schools).

Google does better at some queries, particularly those that require a bit of parsing of the query text, understanding when two words represent one concept, etc. But you can usually tell when Kagi is doing poorly at those and fall back to Google by adding !g on the end of your query.
>Imagine some other being just straight up divided a city, a state, or a country, forever cutting you off from family, friends, recreation, food (that your life depends on), etc.

It's not just animals; America has a long history of using highways to do exactly this to marginalized/poor communities.
Around ~2000 we founded a startup on knowledge management (to tag people), and we had a nice fuzzy search on ontologies implemented.

We got into large companies to solve their problem: Different ontologies in every department (E.g. engineering vs. marketing vs. sales).

Mapping didn't help because their fundamental world views were different.

We failed.

> it would take 220 years to get today's known reserves out of the ground

That doesn't strike me as particularly constrained then - it's highly unlikely known reserves won't expand in that time or that we'll find no alternatives.
First gen Leafs don't sell very well for exactly the reasons you mention, but the TCO for the 3rd or 4th owner of a vehicle is hard to calculate regardless. 10+ year old cars end up needing major work like a valve job or a timing belt, or some emissions thing if you're somewhere that checks that. Battery packs aren't alone in having this lurking unseen potential cost. Most Americans can't just absorb $1k+ of work to keep their car running, even if the engine is technically fine and could last another 200k miles.

If your argument is that EVs won't take off because fresh batteries aren't cheap, I mean, you're right, they're not. The refurb battery market is huge though. Instead of paying the dealer a couple grand for a brand new pack, Uncle Joe or the local cheap mechanic, and YouTube University can do it, often for as cheap as couple hundred, with practice. Plus less waste for the environment.

Given the millions of EVs already sold though, and the various EV-only mandates globally, I think it's moot because they're already here, unlike 3D TV which had no such government mandate. The average used car price from a dealer in November was $31k, and a 2012 Tesla Model S can be had for around that much (Nissan Leaf even less than that), so I think the electrified future's already here. Just gotta let it percolate out to the rest of us.

You could be right though, I don't have a time machine :)
It's just EVs are so stupidly much easier under the hood. No PCV valves, no carb or fuel injectors, or O2 sensors, no emissions crap. There's still some complexity, but it's just not the same.

> it seems to me that an interlocking LEGO style brick would make things go up so much faster and cheaper

Talking to a friend of mine who builds homes, he was looking at cinder blocks and called them quick blocks or something similar.

Anyway, I think they are basically that. Make a wall with staggered blocks, poke rebar down the holes, fill them with concrete and vibrate. You then have a very strong durable wall.

Don't know about r-value though.
In which country? Different countries have different legal regimes, and, I realise this is shocking for many, the USA is not the world and Twitter has a presence in multiple countries and is bound by the laws of those countries.
> It is already failing as the ever increasing purity tests march on and servers ban each other for hair splitting differences in leftist ideology.

Exactly. You can see how this happened with journa.host and it spoilt the reach of many journalists signing up on there because moderators on other instances banned it because of purely ideological reasons. [0]

> There is also no opposition to their conspiratorial nonsense and there is nothing leftists hate more than not antagonising their political opponents.

Yes, the media spreading conspiracies and lies about an imminent Twitter shutdown with false narratives and emotional outrage. [1]

> I ran the experiment where I watched 40 accounts claim they were leaving twitter and only 1 is now not continuing to post regularly. I am very confident these results are repeatable.

The fact many still pretending that they are 'leaving Twitter' [2] is quite hilarious to see, with hardly a dent in Twitter's 200M+ users not caring. The whole point in general here is they should have left years ago, way before Musk purchased the platform rather tolerate the spread of CP, exploitation, etc on the site for decades which Twitter failed to stop. Hence this, advertisers didn't have any of that. [3]

> Nobody would love to see these social media companies crumble more than me, but I can be absolutely certain it will not be because of mastodon.

Correct. Twitter is an eternal outrage machine and given you are seeing federated social networks like Mastodon which frankly has proven itself to be much slower with a higher sign up barrier, telling users to find and choose an instance after going on one of them and getting themselves banned and de-federated, it's no wonder that not only it cannot scale [4] [5] [6] it is unsustainable and many users are admitting that it is much worse than Twitter, even on here: [7].

Replacing Twitter with a worse social network is not the solution.

Scala was certainly more hyped before (for better or worse). If Scala is what you would call dead then other languages like Haskell, Clojure, Racket, OCaml all must be considered dead as well, which doesn't make much sense.
the thing is to incentivize the right things.
The man making the decisions in Twitter may be smart but that's irrelevant because of the fact that he's irresponsible. Others might find it outlandish but social media is a tool for tyrants in some parts of the world such as where I'm living. By tyrant, I don't mean someone who merely violates the right to free speech. Thousands have lost their lives because of the irresponsible implementation of ideas in places where loss of revenue is the only consequence for mistakes.
This is a good point, and I definitely did a poor job addressing the fit for the flashiness of the title. The understanding that I have is that the SSN does a pretty poor job cataloguing re-entry phenomena and current models for predicting re-entry are pretty unskilled. The idea for something like this is to simply use existing infrastructure to vastly expand the body of knowledge on re-entry events which will allow for a more complete and robust understanding of what's going on above.
Conntrack tables filling up are also a challenge with k8s at very, very, very large scale.
Some of them are, but even at Twitter not everyone is a highly paid dev and those people have been fired as well. Let's not even go I to the ridiculousness of expecting people to sacrifice their health and wellbeing by being a hardcore worker for the further enrichment of one of the world's richest men.
Isn’t it similar in C with using uint16_t, uint32_t, etc?

IMO it helps to write programs from the ground up that you know will need to be cross compiled.
Presumably it’s because of the reasons mentioned in the article - they have to pay residuals.
Ah that makes sense, didn't realize that's how it works.
Reminder that with Mastodon, more than with other services, you have to know and trust the server operator to respect your privacy and also to not act arbitrarily if you have a different political stance on an issue than they.
Every other service's Twitter bots need to vote hard now to beat it down.

The drive in an E14 is a M.2 SSD which can be removed and placed in a M.2 Sata to USB Enclosure for external connection to any computer. You can also place that M.2 drive in any other compatible system that takes M.2.

M.2 is the name of the connector on the end of the drive. There are different types of M.2 connector. Most modern SSD M.2 drives are M Keyed. You need to make sure that the enclosure you use is compatible. Most modern enclosures will be.

I just find it ironic how the sides have swapped. Previously when Twitter was censoring right-wing opinions, leftists went “it's a private company, they can do whatever they want and you're not allowed to criticize them”. Now that Musk has taken over, it seems to be the opposite.
> the French were calling a dozen dozen “grosse”. The prejudice goes long back and it isn’t from us Angle-ophones!

Hell yeah it is - the never-ending English, later British propaganda against France goes back 600 years. Against Spain, it goes back 500 years. A lot of that seems to have been carried over to its former colonies.
Not sure if this is appropos but I gave up on using the website in a browser. Interested to hear everyone's take on this but I've found the HACK app to be the most visually and functionally appealing, particularly in making the experience more similar to using Reddit through an app like Apollo.

Its cool that people are putting together their own solutions but there are options that have invented the wheel in a pleasing format already and might facillitate discovery and ease of use in a way that might not be as comprehensive.
That’s true, but China is 1.4 billion people with not much iPhone penetration either (relatively speaking). That’s 17.5% of the world, so getting to 80% with that handicap (google being blocked in china) seems like a huge problem.

Lovely, thanks for the example. I really like how the underline is subtle yet effective. The animation/effect where it seems to inch forward is also intriguing; how does that work? (Also, this is subjective but have you considered making double-clicking on the text open the audio player even when it's not been started yet? Would make it more discoverable, though I imagine some could get annoyed. Another minor thing: when the audio is paused and you double click somewhere, the audio position changes but this is not reflected in the player; only takes effect when you unpause.)

You're doing cool work, good luck with your service! It looks very useful and if someone I know is running a podcast I'll recommend it for sure; it looks really well-done and polished (at least the example you shared).
All I want from Spotify is for it to be performant. I hate that it's such a slow and bloated app.
Setting up a working dev environment can take days to a week+ in my experience. On boarding can take a while, so getting a VM image or whatever that works out of the box that you can build on is a really good thing.

It's great too because if your own environment breaks, you can compare to a working one to fix it.

Just because a company might abuse it doesn't mean we should avoid it.
>used the word Latina instead of the correct latinx.

It's not the "correct" term, and almost nobody I know of takes it seriously outside of really, really narrow little social media woke bubbles. If someone is a woman and of latin american origin, they will almost universally refer to themselves as latina and not care if others do. What idiotic nonsense to assume that something else is "correct" despite it going against the grain of a vast majority's word use.

I live in Latin America and have latin american family of all kinds. This aside from many friendships of both sexes and variable gender identifications too.
When has Comic Sans ever been the default in Microsoft Word?
It had 2GB, an insane amount of storage. Hotmail had around 20MB? I remember that figure. That was reason #1 that is caught on.

Reason #2, it was invite only and it had this sense of "exclusivity" that eventually went away.

When I read articles celebrating “European HPC”, I always wonder about if systems like this are being an effective use of European taxpayer money, since nearly all of the cost goes to US chip manufacturers. What I understand is that Bull basically builds racks around those chips.

There are very few "professional cavers", i.e. those who are paid to go into caves.

It's mostly hard core cavers who do the majority of cave exploration, surveying/mapping and biological/archeological inventory in caves around the world.

Almost all of us are volunteers, and arrange our lives around caving, not our jobs, it's a passion that consumes us.

Before retiring from caving due to health issues, I caved with the best of the best for years, and none of us were/are "adventure seekers", not even close, we are pragmatic, calm, and seriously experienced in cave exploration, as opposed to those who are untrained casual cave explorers (what we call "spelunkers", i.e. flashlight cavers).
As someone who reads Washington Post, NYTimes and WSJ daily, I too find their (WSJ's) reports trust worthy and accept the facts presented without too much fact-cheking.

I even found some "facts" that were out-right wrong and intentionally so.

One thing I'm excited for in the digital markets app is app stores that allow a "paid upgrade" model. This is pretty much untenable with the current incumbents.

I'm working on a consumer productivity app and really want to provide it as a paid upgrade model, because I'm philosophically opposed to SaaS for everything as well. But, when I go cross-platform, I won't be able to offer the paid upgrade model on either iOS or Android.
