>who got their idea shut down by Carmack once and is still bitter about it

Nice fantasy you created there to support your argument. Have you heard of "don't shoot the messenger"?

I admire Carmack as much all other hackers around. I don't sympathize with many of Meta's practices. Still, it's entirely plausible that GP's experience holds truth.

I've been around the equivalent of people like Carmack in academia and all of them have their dash of arrogance and petulance, sometimes this leads them to take really bad decisions. Also, engineering skills and management skills are different things. And there's Peter's Principle as well, to which Carmack is not exempt either.
Does it support UEFI with an updateable open source firmware (e.g. u-boot)? With enough kernel mainlining happening this would allow to use any distro image instead of always having to fiddle with custom images.

I was looking for a "Buy" button. I didn't care about the other stuff. I wish there was one.

I have a bunch of industrial cams, which are pretty similar and pretty good, but open design would be huge for what I do. What I want:

- Quality 1080p capture at 30fps (25 is fine too)

- USB Webcam

- C-mount

- Compressed output, so I can connect a few without saturating USB

ELP makes many modules like this, and they're <$100 and work well. Other brands do too, which have been a mixed bag.
I have been certain for 17 years that they said it was adrenaline.

If it wasn’t adrenaline, what else could it be? I went in and out of waves of in outside this world to inside the room to outside this world and inside the room. Until I was firmly inside the room and out if the trip. It was fast.

And it was into my vein, they tied a rubber hose around my arm. I watched the needle go in. And I had to hide my arm for weeks cause it looked like I injected - all bruised and stuff. Few holes. Must have missed with me moving about.

Okay, let's take all you said as unassailable - shouldn't this whole thing be called the FBI files, and not the Twitter files?

I'm inclined to think that anything that went from the FBI to Twitter went through Twitter's Legal Department, and at least one person signed off—which, given the rebuffs of more public attempts, seems like anything signed off on was done in good faith. So in my mind the problem isn't Twitter, it's the FBI. To me it's the framing (which was always going to be problematic, it's Matt Taibbi).

And to be clear, I think one isn't paying attention if they try to lay blame at the feet of any one administration for this, this is a long-standing issue originating inside the FBI.
> the FBI has absolutely no right to try to get a private company to stop free speech

Of course they do, if that speech would likely incite or produce imminent lawless action. IDK if what they were flagging all meets that standard (some of the examples in the thread seem like a stretch to me, but then again they're obviously supposed to), but I think if we're gonna discuss 1A we should actually understand it.
Could have sworn these twitter files revealed that the government did zero arm twisting and it was Twitter on its own initiative.
I firmly disagree.

An understanding of negativity requires an understanding of positivity. To shift the paradigm, one must offer a more fulfilling alternative. A rewarding experience would highlight the disadvantages inherent to the current paradigm.

Tens of thousands of square miles is a lot, but it's pretty manageable if the discussion is optimizing global land use.

Also, "unused arable land" is probably true, but there's likely more than 0 land that could be converted to agriculture from some other use.

Also the start of COM everywhere, after WinDev managed to win over DevDiv regarding Longhorn.

So instead of having everyone working together to make an OS where managed stacks take the main role, as Google has managed to push no matter what, regarding Android and ChromeOS, we got Longhorn's demise and its ideas being redone in COM and C++, WinDev darlings.
Wait, I thought twitter DID suppress the story as part of their anti hacking policy?

I recall when as an IT department head I had a difficult CEO who often changed his mind (he seemed to always hold the view of the last person who spoke to him).

My response was to refuse email from him (as emails can be ephemeral). Second, I requested all his future instructions to me be in words written physically in the form of black atoms adhered to sheets of white atoms and signed by his own hand in blue atoms at the end.

It dismayed him and everyone including my staff some of whom I'd instructed to block my emails—yes, I'm likely one of the few heads of an IT department in history who refused to have an email address.

Yes, it worked and he complied and ultimately I had the last laugh but that was only after the feud had become newspaper headlines.

On an LCD also nothing changes when the display image is static.

When the image is not static, because an LCD updates line by line, if you don't coordinate your data updates to the refresh rate you can get artifacts such as "tearing", where different sections of the monitor show different data that doesn't fit together. However, e-ink displays doing differential or fast partial updates have similar problems (and some exciting new ones, making refresh overall quite bad). You just usually don't try to display fast moving imagery on them.

e-ink displays are what is known as "bi-stable", meaning you don't need to apply a voltage to keep a pixel in a particular state, only when you want to change that state. This is not true for LCD, where you do need to keep supplying a voltage. This however doesn't result in any visual change if the voltage isn't changing.

The real difference here is that LCDs aren't reflective, unlike e-ink. So you need a backlight, and that light shining at your eyes is more tiring than how things work with an e-ink display. That either doesn't need a backlight (in a bright ambiance), or the LED lighting isn't behind the display and doesn't shine directly at you, but rather bounces through the display surface. This is a nice quality.
I don't think so. The comment I responded to showed up in a thread of more than a 1000 others talking about the very things I mentioned. If you don't assign any intent here it's just someone cruising over the entire context of this conversation, picking a side (without any supporting evidence for why they chose their interpretation, mind you), and then using it justify making a fairly extreme comment. And then they extend it even further into "you know this could also lead to a murder so now your actions support killing children".

If any of {"the information is public/protected under the First Amendment", "Elon is suing to harass this person", "Elon is just straight up lying about the incident", "the attack has nothing to do with the account", "this is something Elon actually said he supports in the past"} are true the point being made changes dramatically. I don't think any of them have been settled at all. I'm sure 'AlchemistCamp has opinions on them as do I but in situations like these it's generally appropriate to make comments taking this uncertainty into account. Like, it could even be a curious comment, "it seems like this person's account is actively harming Elon's family, why would you possibly want to send money to fund it?", but as it stands right now it just jumps immediately into making the conversation worse.

On the flip side, I feel the problems in my comment, which I freely accept (…though not as bad faith), do not actually significantly alter its meaning. Nor do I think it ignores surrounding context like the comment I replied to did. My point was "I think your comment is bad because you jumped to a conclusion which let you dunk on this person's actions" and I wrote "I think your comment is bad because you jumped to a conclusion which let you dunk on this person" and I feel that this is something a reasonable person could end up doing, even if it's obviously not correct. Perhaps I'm missing what led you to focus on that part in particular, rather than the rest of the comment, where I feel the meat of it lies?
I was a kid in the 1970s and my recollection is that I thought the two (Matchbox and HotWheels) were one-in-the-same.

They probably were kept apart in the store where I bought them, but I never noticed. And my brothers and I never made that distinction as we honed our "driving" skills on the hardwood floor.

Until I read your comment, I thought Matchbox & HotWheelw were the same thing.

There’s this weird trend on Facebook/Instagram reels at the moment where people are cooking cheese pasta by putting a block of cheese in a pan, with pasta, dumping a ton of cheese, cheese, stock, spices, cheese, then baking it, and then mixing it together.

It looks disgusting…

Indeed, I knew it was an important resource many people would need, but also that I had to make clear that getting fully patched up on XP or 7 is of course nowhere near the same as running a current OS with 10-20 more years of security innovation baked in. Although I do try to assume most of the target audience have this level of understanding about security already.
There's even a fallacy named after using fallacies to dismiss people, come on.
I take it as “more unexpected” - but there have been many cases of artists not seeming to know or care that “originals” would be something special - after all it’s the art that matters not the first draft.
I didn’t mean to imply that your clients had red flags. What I meant is that the only reason I would want that level of precision is if I was covering my ass legally, and I wouldn’t want a contract where I needed that level of granularity.

It is better to charge by the day anyway. If you’re needed even an hour on a day, they get the daily rate. An interruption in your day for even an hour has context shifting and sucks away a lot more time than that implicitly. Alternatively, weekly prepaid hours work as well. As long as the client is getting value delivered and all their requirements are met or exceeded, and the time is spent to make sure that is always the case, contracting can be a vehicle to escape mundanities like exact timekeeping and enable better use of time.

I would also argue in general for prepaid hours, as this is much more palatable for a business anyway. It gives them a predictable budget with no guesswork, and you a predictable income. That stability is better for both parties as long as you’re delivering.

But everyone’s got their method of operating. Screenshotting a day like that is impressive legally but does make my skin crawl as a dev & creative. I like to just zone out and enter the universe of my work.
As someone who isn't on Tiktok, could you elaborate on those "entire new genres"?

Social media products have been critical to the exponential growth of domestic terrorism and CSAM. So I definitely want the FBI being proactive on these platforms and to have a much, much, bigger team than 80. It should be 80 per state.

People with poor information diets hear the FBI is involved with Twitter and immediately think it has something to do with red team blue team politics. These are the people the Twitter Files content is produced for. It's written vaguely enough to give potato chip peddlers creative license, so they can monetize attention.
They have documentation about that: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp/blob/master/docs/Memory.md

It's interesting to see it's implemented in Haskell, looks like Clojure, has certain Rust-like semantics, and compiles to C. Quite an eclectic mix of languages going on here. Quite unusual that they don't mention anything about concurrency anywhere. The docs do say that there's a fork function, but there's no real information. Maybe the expectation is for developers to use C concurrency primitives?
Yes, structs are generally very good because they are mostly monomorphized. I haven't tested lately if structs of the same size but different types will fully monomorphize or if they share code and so require a small dispatch table. There was a CLR release awhile back where they discussed sharing code in this way to reduce code bloat.

There are still a few pitfalls. Off the top of my head, accessing generic static fields, ie. static class Foo<T> { public readonly static T Member }. Mainly for non-struct members, this typically requires a hashtable-like lookup to resolve the offset for the.

Also, generic interface dispatch can't be monomorphized, ie. interface IFoo<T> { void Method<T>(T value); }, so this too costs more than a regular virtual call because it too requires a hashtable-like lookup to resolve the generic overload to invoke.
Ireland is another example. Healthcare services have €20B a year budget for 5M population. It's rife with non performance, wrong diagnosis and being borderline ineffective.

Element of running a welfare state is how far you take it or make it restrictive so capitalism can thrive. Many doctors run private practice together with their lucrative government jobs. UK on similar level seems lost between running state run programs vs letting private sector thrive.

Private sector is certainly not an answer to education and health. But government ones need some private sector like spirit, incentives and sticks. Many of the medical staff don't perform because these are jobs for life with little to no long term effects on their career.
that's probably per view, that doesn't mean it's not easier to get new viewers which is where most people could use a subsidy if they want to get into the industry.
I'm guessing it means virtual machine, which in this context might be better phrased as runtime. Think something like the JVM or Beam.
The entire graphical interface aesthetics/usability has been declining for decades now, on all platforms.

It looks good. Sharp fonts, good use of space, clearly recognizable widgets, application doesn't treat users like idiots.

What do we have now? Fuzzy-ass fonts (except on phones where DPI>400), huge margins, barely recognizable widgets, GNOME applications written for people in comas.

I, for the life of me, cannot understand how something as essential as healthcare does not take priority over comparatively less essential things.

It must be an unintended result of our complex societal setup with each stakeholder pursuing their own limited gain with no regard for the bigger picture, because it just makes no sense.

Same is true for other essentials such as firefighting, basic infrastructure, etc.

Why would I rather have 5G/Fibre/stadiums/TV shows/[any other less essential contrasting example] than proper healthcare?

If I cannot pay for both, let's have the more important one.

I know I'm oversimplifying. I believe my core point still stands.
I've seen those terms redefined so many times that now I think right-wing and left-wing don't mean anything really, outside the context of US politics.
At the time of the 2->3 GNOME transition, I agreed it needed some overhaul and started looking dated (the default&vanilla GNOME install, that is). But there were many decisions they took I could not understand:

- The applications-places-system menu. As said in other post the other day, it was so clever to have all the stuff in your computer categorized in those three categories. You knew at first sight, even if you've never ever used GNOME2 before, where to send your mouse when reaching something, it wasn't a guess game like in Mac or that cram-everything-in-one-button like the Windows start menu - not to talk about the 'moving around your mouse through the whole screen to launch an app' like GNOME3/4 itself.

- Clearlooks was the pinnacle of theming in Linux. Easily readable/scanneable and beautiful by default, 'themeable' up to the tiniest detail with a readable CSS-like syntax (I'm fuzzy on the details but seem to recall it wasn't a feature exclusive of Clearlooks). I concede Adwaita inherited visual inspiration from Clearlooks, but now with GNOME4 they decided to ditch it altogether. For some reason.

- Technological aspects aside which I won't talk about because you people know much more than me on that, but restricting the user to customize their GNOME install was an double-edge sword they seem didn't thought much through. GNOME2 had an almost perfect balance between simplicity and customization capabilities; whereas with GNOME3 upwards it is up to devs decide many things (and it seems those decisions are based much on their criteria rather than their users...). That brought the unfortunate consequence of frustrating users with every unexpected change with releases, something didn't happened with GNOME2 (or maybe even before than that).

Not the same percentage of them. Postgres has been used for a shorter time in large companies. Many experts in Postgres were previously experts in another DBMS.

In contrast, most Oracle DBAs/Engineers publish the fact that they have only used this specific product during their whole career. They seem to be rather proud of the fact, actually.

I wonder how often interspersing the panels with crops ends up being better than packing the panels onto the most marginal portion of the land parcel. There's often ridges or whatever to deal with on a field.
Wouldn't it mean Virtual Machine, so no BEAM, JVM, MoarVM, or whatever to handle the memory management behind the scenes?

Which is kind of funny, I wonder if that means they directly call sbrk and brk rather than using malloc and free.
Exactly - thanks for reminding me !
Unfortunately, humans explicitly evolved to consume animal products. There are B vitamins that humans can only naturally acquire through eating animals that we die without.

It’s possible now to generate those B vitamins, but saying humans don’t need to consume animals is like saying we don’t need to walk to be healthy. Technically true, but most of us have two legs that we evolved to live a human lifestyle and getting around that requires a bunch of atypical lifestyle changes that are massively difficult and unnatural for most people.
Healthcare is expensive and have massive fines built in for good reasons. Government jobs are for life with little to no repercussions. Also they might not align people correctly with incentives. We need government run programs with private sector like efficiency.
