Movetodon lists all my Twitter follows and their corresponding mastodon handles but the tool doesn’t let me follow them? Clicking the mastod name leads to a as 404 and that’s it? I was hoping to be able to just say ”follow all” or at least do it one by one. Am I not holding it right.
bzlmod looks amazing! Thank you! I don't need to be convinced but I need to sell it to my team and I must be able to solve our problems in it - imho getting it working solves 90% of annoying problems in this whole ci/cd/container mess and that's why I'd like to push for it.
> ...those stuck & burned bits will certainly add "flavor" to the stew.

Cooking fuel from wood was expensive to procure, so if I were making such a stew I'd cook it low and slow to conserve precious wood, so maybe they "cooked" over coals back then.

If I were to do this today, I'd top off with lots of water before bedtime so there won't be burnt bits in the morning. Maybe try to seal the lid edge with dough that can be used as bread in the morning to sop up the stew (might need to do 2-3 batches of such bread to make the supply of it last through the day).

I'd also likely use a rocket stove, a pot heat exchanger [1], and hot water pipes on the inside and outside of the rocket stove exhaust port to extract out as much working heat as possible.

Probably not true.
It is covered in the article; the free-rider problem was a problem, in London eventually the fire-brigades appear to have basically convinced the city to buy them because they couldn’t solve it.

This is a good example of how there isn’t really a cutesy acronym that will fix your injuries. Your body is yours and figuring out what works for you is part of the process of health. I have been climbing for years and what prevents injuries and aids recovery is a constant game with ever changing rules, so you have to enjoy the ups and downs.
> HDMI Switching like that takes long because there is a EDID negotiation going on between the minitor and the input devices.

Why does the negotiation take so long, though? There doesn't intuitively seem to be a lot of information.
I think there is a difference between a remote place that is difficult to access and a place that is not entitled to use public firefighters' service. IMHO the former has no bearing on the latter.

I am not judging the way things work in the US, just commenting that I don't think that population density is relevant here as the issue is one of right.

Now, of course, if you live 100 miles from the nearest town it may well take hours for the police or firefighters to show up when you call them. That's another issue.

Edit: I must have written something offensive without realising it...
She Has her Mother's Eyes is a good one. But of course if you want to learn properly you need something more comprehensive than books like these.
> Don't know about r-value though.

At that point you would have essentially 8" of solid concrete, so an R value around 1.5

Adding 3" of rigid foam on the outside (then waterproofing and siding on top of it) would bump that R value up to around 15, with all the thermal mass on the inside (which can help if there's large day-night temperature variation)
Too late to edit, but my source on the 2 months comment comes from an interview with Helion, who I think made the front page a couple of weeks ago, but in summary they are trying to smash two plasma balls together and then directly capture the magnetic flux created by the resulting fusion, rather than using a heat engine:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=_bDXXWQxK38&t=1081s

They talk about why ITER has no viable fuel source, and about how they (Helion) are going to have to run two configurations of fusion plants in order to source their own fuel. One that produces a 10% power surplus, undesirable neutrons and the fuel for their power plants. They didn’t say anything but I suspect they’ll end up coming up with a use for the neutrons, perhaps making fuels for other processes. Someone will likely eyeball that waste heat as well.
I was late by a year to it, but Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun was both fascinating and, typical for Ishiguro, almost lethally concentrated melancholy. A literary take on AGI and religion from the cleverly written perspective of an AI assistant device, mixed with a coming-of-age story and a meditation on the disposability of modern technology.
Indeed, like they are able to produce a diesel engine meeting CARB requirements.

After 2022, it's both hilarious and sad to see how blockchain type recommendations have fallen off so hard.

A lot of people have always liked to turn the TV on as background. If anything I would think that would be less common today if you don't have live TV. Personally, it drives me crazy. Back when I would sometimes have a shared hotel room on a group trip, something that would drive me crazy was the person who, first thing upon entering the room, would be to head straight for the TV and turn in on.
Some 100 years ago, natural ice harvesting & trade was a major global industry
The ice trade, also known as the frozen water trade, was a 19th-century and early-20th-century industry, centering on the east coast of the United States and Norway, involving the large-scale harvesting, transport and sale of natural ice, and later the making and sale of artificial ice, for domestic consumption and commercial purposes.
I think it depends on what you mean by _celebrities_.

For me, the appeal of Twitter is being able to interact with various communities (such as the legal twitter community). There are people who are fairly popular in that sphere, that I really like being able to see their thoughts on various issues and even ask the occasional question (Popehat, Akiva Cohen, Mike Dunford, Greg Doucette), etc.

Are these people celebrities? Kinda, in their niche, yea. In the broader sense of the word not really.

But all of those people have moved to Mastodon. So, I think that kind of reinforces the point. It's more communities within Twitter that move. That move is relatively sticky. And there are people within that community that are highly connected in that community ("celebrities" within the niche), and when they move it tends to solidify the move of the community.
Agreed. However, suggesting this will get protests that the policy is “shipping people to the wastelands”.
I think the real problem is Musk is a very polarizing personality and everyone can only speculate his intentions using their colored lens.

I stand by my opinion that he intended to close the deal one way or another, but wanted more favorable pricing. Your IPO profit is eaten away if you paid more than you could have when taking the company private.

I don't think Twitter truly was worth what the markets claimed it was worth, much the same as Tesla stock is still detached from the underlying asset. Mania in the markets will set the price at whatever people are willing to pay.

I firmly believe Musk saw a threat to the ability for healthy public discourse to be carried out and was willing to jump on the grenade that was an overvalued Twitter, until a point at which it became vastly overvalued.

That said: I do agree he has made a series of missteps at the helm of Twitter. He came in seeking to change far too much, far too quickly, and Twitter has a rough road ahead of it to get to even self sustaining, especially on the eve of an economic calamity.
I believe Zuckerberg's play with buying Oculus was brilliant. I had basically stopped using anything Facebook but I couldn't resist the temptation to play Robo Recall with a Quest. So now he got a set of updated personal data from me and I even paid him for the privilege.

I believe what Zuckerberg is doing here is to publicly announce that he has funding ready to purchase whoever could be the next Oculus. Based on Carmack's complaint, I don't have high hopes of Meta building the metaverse in-house. But if I was considering working on metaverse technology, this might be a nudge for entrepreneurs and their investors to get started, because Zuckerberg just painted the map leading to a unicorn exit.

I like electronics and have AI + PCB experience. Anyone wanna start the next Oculus ;) ?
> I want to get married and have kids"

I think this just comes off as moving too quickly. After a few weeks of successful dates and comfort levels built, I've found this to be acceptable to mention casually, especially in a conversation meant for discussing goals.

It also softens things to say it like "Yea, someday I want to be married and have kids" but in a tone that doesn't include the woman you're dating yet.

They already know you're dating them presumably for this goal if you mention it, but it also communicates you aren't desperate and already thinking this far ahead with this person (even though you probably already are).
I'm not sure what you mean by "they're not meant to". They work, I don't care what they're "meant to" do. It also helps with general analysis of logs.

Old. Like 32, 33.

I always had a little astigmatism in both eyes, but ended up developing this in my 30's. It was slow in the beggninig, but when I hit 35 it advanced really fast.

I'm 38 now, I'm mostly blind in one eye, and I will do a corneal transplantation next year.

I should had done a couple of years ago, but after the pandemic hit I decided to spend as little time in hospitals as possible. Now that things are back to normal I will start to look into it again.

What happens if function from another module calls failing_external_function()? Will you wrap it in another_module.Error?

This sounds like viral boilerplate: any function that can fail forces all other functions in the stack trace to be wrapped. Seems quite unpythonic, the whole point of exceptions is to avoid this boilerplate by propagating.

Are you just writing boilerplate to assign exceptions to modules? But this information is already present in the stack trace, what is the point? It's too generic to actually handle exceptions, and too redundant to provide debugging value.
Frameworks being imperfect doesn’t mean devs can do better without them. The libraries a-la-carte approach makes it very easy to mess up cross-cutting concerns like security, a fact the clojure community has known for a while now: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CBL59w7fXw4
Was your project built in multiple languages and tied together using Maven? Or was it just JDK languages/Java?

Tools like Bazel or Nix or <whatever you enjoy> are incredible for many reasons but they are, to a first approximation, very, very high-effort and complex tools that require care. It's like a racing car. You need an engineer on hand to keep the car running, and someone to drive it too. Maybe you're both of those people, but only a driver isn't enough.

They also suffer from another problem which is that most people don't care as much as you or I do. :) So to make it a slam dunk, you have to make a pretty clear case that it's not "just" 2x better, but actually 10x better. And it's actually even harder than that: it can't just be 10x better in practice, it has to appear 10x better at a glance. Like, at the window shopping phase, it needs to catch their eye. That's difficult to nail and basically impossible to do perfectly.

Personally? I'm all-in on "whole sale" build tools like this that hit many nails with one hammer. They solve a tremendous amount of issues. But they aren't always good and I can really see why they can fail to gain traction for many teams: they simply aren't necessary for them, even if they're really a lot better in many ways. I get it.
How do you let the compiler do these things for you?
I want to admire their tenacity and faith. Lot of great things can come out of that. But then there's the financial side and responsibility. So it's a tough call. But as a non-stock owner for Meta, I'd favor tenacity of innovation than an ever increasing stock price.

I've been an avid Quest 2 user. There is nothing else like it. I use it for portable workouts and it does the job pretty well. Meta is years ahead of anyone else in this field.

But will this ever reach mainstream adoption? I think Zuck and others need to understand that the ask of putting a headset on is a pretty big one and is one of the biggest impediments, even if the stuff inside that headset can be pretty cool! I just don't see a path to that ever becoming normalized in our society or workplace.

I feel Zuck is letting his personal bias inform his decisions because he is an avid early adopter and is perhaps super comfy with VR headsets. I mean he bought Oculus in the first place !

I personally think stuff like VR/AR doesn't become truly mainstream until we hit a contact lenses level form factor. I know that sounds way out there but I don't see any other way. Getting to a sunglasses form factor will be a big win but still won't be enough to go mainstream, perhaps 25% of the way. And even that is easily 10 years away if not more.

If I was part of their innovation team, I'd buy another smaller company like Nreal Air that's innovating in he sunglasses display/AR space quite well and then try to marry VR/AR with that. If they can achieve that, they will get a big jump in adoption. It will require an external computation box, perhaps a smartphone sized one, but that's still an easier ask than putting a whole headset on.
> The only place in the universe where you can get bitcoin is on Earth

The only place you can get the US Dollar is on Earth. The only place you can get Beanie Babies, Hummels, Pogs, <pick-your-fad> is on Earth. As a standalone argument, this carries no weight.

> so it has scarcity and historical significance, making it, at a minimum, a valuable collectible

A collectible, sure, for people who care to collect it. Whether or not it's valuable will be determined by the market, not just blind belief that the value is there.

Throughout history, civilizations have found any number of things to act as a proxy for value. Pebbles, seashells, necklaces, pieces of metal, glass, and so on.

But in order for such inanimate items to hold value, everyone must agree that they're valuable. The current upheavals in crypto are certainly calling this into question for everyone involved, especially those who have lost their life savings on shiny pebbles.

In embedded programming it can be useful to control an animation on an LED matrix since a lot of LED drivers and multiplexers enable pins based on the bits passed through their respective drivers. Example of how you might animate 8 LED connected to 8 pins:

10000000
01000000
00100000
00010000
00001000
00000100
00000010
00000001

You could turn that into an array to animate an LED going from left-to-right or you could just write a simple function that bit-shifts your current state to the right.

It's also useful in scrolling text: Imagine that 8x8 above contains a character like O. You could animate the O moving to the left by shifting the bits in each row to the left by one over and over again (according to whatever speed you've defined).
Seriously. It's a trend I've noticed with a lot of anti-misinformation people, including with my friends and family, where they skip the learning and critical thinking part and just buy straight into whatever is said by someone who calls themselves an expert.
How is it the responsibility of an offshore company to conform to some states regulatory framework - and which states anyways?

Why should it be part of taxes at all? I've lived in places with city trash pickup, and places where you choose your own private company to get your trash (in the later some cheap people just drove their trash to the dump every couple months). The costs were about the same in the best case so long as the private people shopped around, and in the worst cases the city didn't shop around and so costs were a lot more.
"And all the time — such is the tragi-comedy of our situation — we continue to clamour for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more 'drive', or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or 'creativity'. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

Do these scale-dependent (I like this adjective better than "emergent") properties survive model distillation? It may be that our training/optimization processes are inefficient and require these scales to achieve, but the underlying model may not actually require the number of parameters that we are giving them. I haven't read any of the papers about distillation yet, does anyone know if this has been tested?
> their implosion would surely do more to damage cryptocurrencies than global US Dollar hegemony

Crypto never threatened the dollar. What is creating issues is crypto’s risks causing losses to Americans and, possibly, the American financial system.
This filter is not perfect so you'll have a few audio artifacts that you won't want in your final mix. Mixing with the original audio hides these artifacts somewhat. Using this filter also increases your audio mixing effort (you're mixing in a second vocal track) so it's easiest to mix the 2 audio tracks at constant levels then adjust when you hit an artifact. This is my personal preference on this style of audio mixing, and others who watched (and gave feedback) couldn't tell it was enhanced and had no difficulty understanding the speaker.

> "They didn't pay, so they die."

This didn't happen. A building burned but everybody was fine. Had lives been at risk, the firefighters would have intervened. The "moral" you are taking from this story is predicated on gross misinformation.
It also ends with the fire brigades basically asking the city to take over because they couldn’t solve the free-rider problem, so anyone who thinks of it as an example of the free market system working clearly didn’t read far enough.
This is likely more directly inspired by Marcus Licinius Crassus:

> The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants.
For older movies, you might consider getting a Netflix DVD subscription though they've let their back catalog deteriorate. (Your library is probably also a good source.) You can also just digitally rent a la carte on Amazon or Apple. By and large, the streaming services have never been great for finding a specific film.
My wife is Cantonese and while we don't have any family heirloom broths, there are definitely weeks, especially in winter, where we just have a constant broth going for a couple of weeks. All the leftover veggie bits and bones and such get thrown in there as we go. The flavor is always different, usually good, sometimes a little odd, but then we just purposely put new food in to balance it out (an apple for some sweetness for example).

I gotta say it's nice to always have a pot of soup ready to go when it's cold.
> Supreme Court seems likely to take up arguments over a pair of laws that could ban most content moderation in Texas and Florida

> Both stem from lawsuits claiming that YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms provided support for Islamic State attacks by failing to remove — and, in some cases, recommending — accounts and posts by terrorists. Gonzalez v. Google’s plaintiffs claim these recommendations shouldn’t be covered by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields web services from liability for illegal content. Twitter v. Taamneh covers a distinct but related question: whether these services are providing unlawful material support if they fail to kick terrorists out.

These two things seem mutually incompatible. Either you’re doing moderation (automated or otherwise) to keep illegal content of your platform or you’re not doing anything. Is there a middle ground I’m missing?

For some reason I’m expecting some interesting mental gymnastics from the Court to thread a needle of how they want things to work. This Court feels very activist and seems to come with post-hog rationalizations for their decisions vs being principled and consistent.
Ideally yes. Only last year did Clang 13 learn the 32-bit one. GCC doesn't understand either. I haven't checked clang for the 64-bit one.
