With these books specifically, he already made money from his core fan base via a Kickstarter campaign. So the sales through Audible would have already been lower than a regular release.
The wait can be 84-days to have your paperwork done to contribute to Emacs. A very ambitious option for a newbie is the Haiku port of Emacs. You can start by bug reporting and progress to bug squashing or documentation and design. Github is owned by Microsoft and isn't the only place to start.

What is your problem with [1]?

I think almost every charity, or business, ever created spends some proportion of it's income on advertising / outreach, to increase future income. If they cut that 12%, and it decreased their income to half, or a third, of it's current value, would that make you happy?

Also, please point me to "The implication is that donations are urgently needed to keep the website running.". I've not seen anything like that in any banner I've seen this year. I'd be interested to know if you get different banners to me? Or, are you just assuming the banner says that?
And that desktop is Steam Deck.
Yep, or target the incentives based on the composition of the situation on the ground. If your classroom is mixed with 1/3 IEPs for autism and other issues you have different achievable goals.
The whole left wing culture war theatre part wouldn't fly in any country in EU.

American abortion freedom, try finding people in Europe who think abortion in 9th month is business as usual. No one thinks having id card to vote is racist (its as difficult and costly to get one here), cultural appropriation people wouldn't comprehend. Affirmative action etc etc.

The American left wing political spectrum has nothing to do with EU left who fight for workers not all that crap.
I would like an RSS Reader that I pay for once rather than subscribe to, and which allows me to filter out keywords of my choosing. That’s it. I hate that for this feature with Feedly I would have to pay monthly.
Funnily enough, I'm currently trying to make my way through a preprint showing that models of dense associate memory with bipartite structure, including Transformers (!!!), are a special case of a more general routing algorithm that implements a "block of agents" in a differentiable model of Minsky's Society of Mind: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11754. Maybe "symbolic" and "connectionist" AI are two sides of the same coin?

EDIT: I feel compelled to mention that the efficient implementation of that more general routing algorithm can handle input sequences with more than 1M token embeddings in a single GPU, which quite frankly seems like it should be impossible but somehow it works: https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing#routing-very-lo....
> It's true that some gender and racial inequalities have lessened slightly, but many people including myself would say they should be eliminated entirely.

(Just to make the point) The West seems to have recently decided that people are born innately masculine or feminine, which strikes me as a Regressive step from the previous Progressive position that people were unique individuals incidentally sexed purely for the purposes of reproduction (and therefore society should eliminate normative gender expectations and other gender-based discrimination).

How can we eliminate gender discrimination when it has become problematic merely to suggest that sex is real, that sex itself can be a chosen basis for identity, and that some (arguably most) gender-based discrimination is actually sex-based - for example failure to progress in an organisation after taking one or two extended breaks for pregnancy and infant care?
Just to clarify, there's no Wikipedia Foundation, there's Wikimedia Foundation.

Wikipedia is owned by Wikimedia Foundation.

You can't donate to Wikipedia, the banners on Wikipedia lead to Wikimedia donations.

It is quite unethical:

1. They have enough donations to keep Wikipedia running for decades, yet each year banner gets more and more manipulative, pretending WP is on the brink of collapse.

2. IIRC less than 5% of money are actually used towards Wikipedia needs.

3. Not to mention that WP authors essentially work for free.

Why is it tolerated? Because most people don't even know you're not donating to Wikipedia. And the product is just too good to care.
I haven't given up. I'm still trying. If anybody wants to try with me - I'm looking for co-founders - please contact me: @duttaoindril, duttaoindril@gmail.com
The C Programming Language is a decent overview of the language. After that using it in a real project is the best way to learn. If you know Linux pretty well and know what syscalls are then you might be interested in reading the Linux source code and writing kernel modules (they're written in C). If none of that sounds familiar to you the overhead is probably too high for going that route to make sense.

In general, the reason to use C is because you are doing something that interfaces with the OS. But the problem with software at this level is that because the abstractions are so low level unless you understand something about the design/architecture of the software the code is really hard to understand.

So I would pick some project that is interesting to you and that you have some familiarity with already and try to implement a simple version of that in C. It is actually not too hard to write a WebSocket or HTTP server in C, so if you are familiar with web programming, writing one of those might be a fun project.
> If I have a complaint about returning to RSS it would be that we will return to the days of clickbaity headlines

Wait, what do you mean? Clickbaiting (and borderline misinformation) has been getting only worse ever since
I disagree. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your chosen side is to act as a check on its most fringe elements.
Same, but only if it "looks like" the app expects it to take a short-ish amount of time. If your operation will take more than a few seconds, the app can include text saying "This usually takes a few minutes" (or whatever is appropriate), and I'll know that a long of a delay to expect before I think something's wrong.
The Arduino ecosystem is heavily dependent on C++.
There are tools like five filters that follow the links, and download the whole story. O think RSS is unusable without them.
I actually dropped NixOS after using it for 2 years. It's just not practical for day to day work unless you want to be messing around with Nix config or fighting shared lib issues all the time. I'm using OpenSUSE atm and couldn't be happier - yeah it's a lot more click ops, but I get to work so much faster and everything just works. Fedora is another good option. (If you want to know, the breaking point for me was trying to get QtCreator working properly on NixOS which I sunk about 2 hours into before giving up - but took me about 5 mins on OpenSUSE to install).

Nix, the package manager, is _amazing_ though, despite the wonky language. I use it for providing hermetic/reproducible environments for my dev projects. You create a shell.nix, auto load it with direnv, and the development environment is 100% replicated for everyone doing dev in that repo. Hook it into your CI too and now you have an identical dev environment everywhere. It's like virtualenv on steroids for any kind of project/tooling.
I would hire a security consulting firm to do the work for you. This is not the kind of thing you can learn overnight, or even in a short to medium timeframe. Countless startups have experienced security teams and yet were still breached - just do a quick google search. It's unrealistic to think an inexperienced engineer can do better.
Esqueleto is an open-source library that my company's software uses.

The code specific to the business is proprietary.

I feel like they forgot to highlight the additional features Lyft brings to the table that the phone operator model doesn’t: safety.

When Lyft and uber first launched, passengers and drivers were raping, murdering, and robbing each other. Both companies quickly added safety controls to ban repeat offenders and keep everyone safe on the platform.

With a phone call model, you can’t effectively police the passengers.
I’m a happy user of 1Password for Families, which I only mention since it means >1 person is storing in our vaults (and 1P isn’t as vulnerable to “my backup has unencrypted URLs stored in it” — one of my main issues with LastPass’ latest breach).

Like you we have TONS of credentials (and other supported items), around 2800 vault items in total, some of which we definitely only use once a year, others we use multiple times per day. Probably started using a password manager and some technique to share some vaults around 2010, so also a decade.
some luck is involved but just paying attention to trends will give you better odds of success and even if you fail you can still benefit. For example, learning to code is a much better time investment for success than learning blacksmithing. Even if your startup fails, you can make 6 figures as a software engineer and live a good life.

if you consider anything other than becoming a billionaire "failure" I guess that's a different matter.
I think one issue (for those of us who are the kind of people that read this site) is that "entrepreneurship" and "startup" are overloaded terms. Most of the discussion here is about "startups" with huge growth ambitions. But what you're describing here is just "starting a business". Both things are "entrepreneurship", but they are extremely different beasts, with different paths to and likelihoods of success.

The billion dollar "startup" narrative is so seductive, but most hard-working ambitious people who want to be their own boss should just be starting businesses in the more traditional sense, taking on smaller investment or debt more wisely, paying attention to costs and revenues, and growing organically. This is no different than business starts in any other era, it just happens that a lot of viable businesses now happen to benefit from focusing on software.
Nix allows for composability in the OS, which is nice for automation and reproducibility.

Recently a new and even bigger advantage to composability has appeared. ChatGPT. If you can think up a configuration of an OS you can ask ChatGPT to create it with Nix (or other frameworks for other relevant cases) and then nearly all the work is already done for you. I find this workflow to be even better than GitHub Copilot.

Steam deck is interesting here because it leaves me wondering about what I could ask Nix to configure on it. I don't know very much about steamos.
I think this ebook is very very good and well worth the money...

Full of great tips and no fluff. Basically gives you a large but fantastic set of rules to live by, cohesive enough that you don't have to deviate from them unless you know what you're doing and have a solid need to. But otherwise it's a great foundation that you can implement in any design system.
I communicated with my son's doctor through a system that included a checkbox with label Not Urgent that defaulted to checked. As I submitted an urgent message, I clicked that checkbox and hit submit in quick succession.

Later I went through sent messages and the urgency indicator was opposite of intended on all. I looked at the form more closely and realized that the label was actually indicating what clicking the checkbox would change the state to, so clicking indicated it was not urgent.

I emailed the company about the confusing behavior and received no response.
Thank you. If you gain any insights while reading, please share!
If Uber is taking 28% according to its very large dataset and Lyft is taking 48% according to a single driver in a single region for a small amount of time, then I suspect the most likely explanation is the data is deficient.

I suspect this because I can’t see how Lyft could ever be competitive in the market if it is taking a far larger chunk: either they’re drastically underpaying drivers or overcharging customers compared to Uber. Why would either group endure that?
China Is Likely Seeing 1M Covid Cases, 5k Deaths a Day
It's not as fringe as you think. Education at all levels (K-12 and higher ed) is increasingly teaching these concepts dogmatically, meaning in a decade or two such ideas will be much more widespread, as those students become adults.

Those at the top of the hierarchy -- people in positions of power and influence at Fortune 500 companies and venerable institutions -- are the same, either believing in these ideas, parroting them because they feel they have to, or using them as a cudgel to knock others down. Again, in a decade or two all of that will flow downstream.

Already, those who grew up in authoritarian countries and are now university professors are noticing how the adherence to the DEI party line is indistinguishable from adherence to the despot's party line 50 years ago; some true believers and many who mouth the words because they dare not.
Yes. People who want to fund wikipedia should be able to fund wikipedia itself.
One thing I haven't seen discussed before are the two different types of options, which should be handled differently.

- Options which any particular user might want to change on a regular basis. These should be near the "front" of the UI within reach according to how often a user might be expected to change it.

- Options which different users may select differently, but which a specific user is unlikely to change. These can be buried, as long as they are easily discoverable so that users are at least aware of the option.

Also please make toggles unambiguously on or off. Those little sliders, especially solo, can be difficult to figure out the current state of. Maybe put the word "On/Off" right on the slider itself. Or put the state in the label: (-0) Flash is ON. (0-) Flash is OFF
Then just burn it or give it to some homeless guy to buy vodka with.

Really? I must be a trendsetter then.

The article gets some things right, but RSS as a private, protected medium just never took off, and I don't think it ever will--but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
>My intuition is that RISC was dead for good reason.

ARM cores run most phones, routers, etc, and it's an acronym for Acorn RISC Machine.
I don’t know about the hypothetical average person from Arkansas but I’m sure the average Israeli, South Korean, Taiwanese, Czech and many others are immensely better off today than in 1980.

And in 40 years the same will be true for the average Indian, Vietnamese, Bangladeshi and the other fast growing developing economies of today (unless climate change wrecks havoc in the tropics by then).

We’re seeing the highest growth in the countries that aren’t already at the top.
Back to the Future didn't get 2015 right, but hey, at least the Terminator timeline tracks. After all, ChatGPT just predicts the most likely human response. In that context, Cyberdyne AI launching a preemptive nuclear strike is basically ChatGPT going: "what would a strongman leader with nuclear access and about to be taken out do?"
Could you open the remote and remove channel up/down buttons? Or put some electrical tape underneath to make them ineffective?
> Perhaps PLA believes that bleeding Russia dry via America expending all of her reserve weaponry means that that American combat power can't be used in the Pacific.

If this is their plan then this is a very poor plan. Russia is a land war, and most of the equipment we're giving to you crane is not the sort of equipment that we would ever use in a war anymore.

There is also OpenPOWER (under the Linux foundation) which I assume is also good?

Or is RISC-V stictly better than it?
Who cares crypto is a waste of time
Why did they want to do that, if not to be more effective, in the long run, for advertisers?
I just checked, iPad has it (and using colour coding, as that has come up elsewhere in these threads). On Apple TV a subtitle menu appears in the time bar, but it doesn't seem to do anything in either the "Automatic" or "CC" options it gives?

CC is a bit of an Americanism, perhaps it is running more directly though some Apple playback code that is more particular about subtitle formats?

I suspect the ultimate case is probably low usage statistics not making it a priority. The icon / BBC logo didn't update at the same time as the iOS version, so I suspect its a separate codebase for some reason?

How do you explain to the user what those cookies do and why they are necessary?

Is it OK just to have an explanation on your site's terms of service page or on its legal page, or do you have to put it somewhere you are sure the user will see?
Does this support writing to a linear frame buffer? Would be interesting to port to run on my OS if so.
I don’t know, to me it feels like it was 10 years ago.
Disgusting that drivers are making this little. And Lyft is supposed to be the better of the two evils? I wonder how the alternative platforms in places like Austin are doing and what their split is these days. I was there recently and was surprised that Lyft had been allowed to operate-- apparently the state government gave them permission to operate over the local ordinances that had been passed requiring fingerprints, etc.

I enjoyed the depiction of the retro Lyft operating in the old taxi model. I agree that would probably be more efficient. These companies, like most tech, relied on extremely lax regulation, super low interest rates, QE, and dumb VCs to produce a myth of greater efficiency. It was enough to undermine an entire industry. And to think driving a taxi used to be a middle class job in some places. No wonder so many medallion owners committed suicide.
You know that Wikipedia was highly unreliable in its early days, right? What ChatGPT needs if it's to be genuinely useful: https://xkcd.com/285/
What do you mean it doesn't make sense? It doesn't make sense for the US, but vehicular needs in Japan are very different from the US.
Not in the civil service old bean!
Yes of course. Haven't you ever watched a movie without audio and with subtitles turned on? It's quite easy to get the nuance. People's faces are incredibly expressive.

And nobody's at a distance, the cameras are always on either a medium or close-up shot when filming politicians speaking.
> I drove for Lyft for a week

Not a lot of data points
I've been toying a lot with this recently.

A tip for anyone that's interested, you can order a compatible LED strip from Ali Express for much cheaper than Amazon, though you're going to wait several weeks. For example, do a search for WS2815 LED Strips and compare.

BTW, if you're doing just single color check out COB LED strips, they're pretty cool with the uniform lighting over the strip. Get them in 24v to avoid voltage drop.

LED Strips are lots of fun to play with and pretty easy to chop up, power and control.
What banner is even being discussed here? I don't see any banner about wikipedia "shutting down at any moment due to lack of funding".

There is a banner, yes, but it doesn't say anything like that.

Are other people seeing other things, or is the discussion about a banner (yes, there is a banner) that doesn't ever say what's being claimed?

For reference, I see this. It reads reasonably to me, and never makes crazy claims about shutting down.

Wikipedia is not for sale. A personal appeal from Jimmy Wales

Please don't scroll past this 1 minute read. This Friday December 23rd, as 2022 draws to a close, I humbly ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia this year, the value you got from it, and whether you're able to give £2 back. If you can, please join the 2% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just £2, we'd hit our annual goal in a couple of hours. The price of a cup of coffee is all I ask.

Wikipedia is different. No advertising, no subscription fees, no paywalls. Those don't belong here. Instead, the Wikimedia Foundation relies on readers to support the technology that makes Wikipedia and our other projects possible. Being a nonprofit means there is no danger that someone will buy Wikipedia and turn it into their personal playground.

If Wikipedia has given you £2 worth of knowledge this year, please donate now, it really matters.
That all sounds reasonable. I'm not sure what the solutions I saw were trying. They definitely went slower, though. Hours for one of the solutions I saw.
So you believe that firms should abide by contracts but that firms shouldn’t try to enforce the terms of those contracts.

I find it odd how Qualcomm is portrayed as though they were innocently minding their own business when they suddenly got sued. They bought Nuvia knowing what was in the two sets of contracts.

Also Qualcomm had and still has the ability to design their own Arm cores.
>2. Posts that say "Wikipedia only has [x] more articles but budget has gone up [y]" are beyond stupid. Any idea how many projects besides Wikipedia are run by WMF - for instance, ever heard of Wikimedia Commons? Any idea how litigious and heavily-regulated the world has got, and how much effort has to be poured into softening some of the emerging laws, mounting judicial challenges against the rest, etc? Any idea how much funding every usergroup and chapter (sometimes more than one per country, e.g. in Spain) is asking for? Any idea how much effort is put into developing features that encourage new people to start editing, not just consuming? Any idea how expensive it is to support and facilitate the big "Movement" discussions (aimed at decentralising the movement!) and the User Code of Conduct discussions?

Isn't it the job of the Wikimedia Foundation to let people know just these things in a way they can understand? Why is it the responsibility of users to dig into the financials of a non-profit begging them for money rather than the other way around?

edit: And if the answer is that if people were given detailed and accurate information they'd be less likely to donate then... that answers the question of why you shouldn't donate.
Paid content with RSS has been solved for a long, long time. It is how paid subscriber feeds for podcasts work.
> The K&R book is a great example of clear technical writing, but it's also quite terse.

That's not really a “but”; eschewing superfluous verbosity is a hallmark of good technical writing.

IMO, a more significant strike against K&R, which is excellent for its time, is that it is hopelessly dated—unless there is a third edition I am not aware of—providing, in the second edition, a preview of the first edition of ANSI C, which was standardized just after it was released.
They outsource grading from professors to TAs. Adjuncts do this too where they can.

Was this the same as Google Buzz?

My friends and I loved Buzz and lamented its loss. We tried Google+, but it couldn't even really do what Buzz could do, and it certainly didn't have any other killer features, so it didn't take.
