If you don’t care about syntactic convenience, yes. In practice, a(n idiomatic) Forth “library” can have an API like, for example,

1000 ,bp) ax mov,

for laying down assembly code in memory (might look a bit unusual, but think “postfix assembler” and it’ll become natural soon enough). If you want this to compile down to byte writes and arithmetic without requiring an assembler library at runtime (DynASM-style), you can do that as well.

Custom control structures[1], object systems, perfect hashing, parser generators, all that fun stuff that’s possible with flexible syntax and arbitrary compile-time code execution, people have done it. You never have to think whether an X-macro is sufficiently ugly yet to warrant a custom preprocessor. (If you want to say “web templating”, you can say “web templating”, except it’s not that pleasant with manual memory management, and most of what I’m thinking about was written in the 80s.)

There’s nothing impossible about this in any language (the absence of a competent C REPL continues to amaze me), but not all languages are good at everything they can technically do, and Forth is good at these.

(Forth is also bad at some things. If you want code that transparently works on floats and doubles, or 32- and 64-bit addresses, on the same system depending on a compile-time setting, it’s going to be painful. Passing abstract types by value is impossible to do elegantly as far as I know. Omitting unnecessary code from the executable, trivial with static libraries and a linker, requires adapting half your implementation and is a serious selling point for commercial Forth systems. And so on.)

[1] I know we’re all alleged adults and are not supposed to get excited about these, but does LuaJIT’s FOLD tree peephole optimizer, for example, qualify as a legitimate custom control structure? (It’s implemented with a combination of macro magic and a custom preprocessor.)
Monitor arms. They free up a ton of desk space and are mechanically simple enough that they have a good chance of lasting a lifetime. That is assuming we still have to use monitors instead of projectors/AR/VR in 2050.

The first arm I bought maybe 10 years ago is still going strong and have survived 3 different monitor upgrades. Oil it a bit and it's as good as new.
Well, the non-insane thing is to do property-based testing. Instead of testing only a handful of examples.
> because I'd hit some limit (..) 10 days max is pretty bad

The free(!) plan includes 300,000 queries per month. That is transparent everywhere. On the website, pricing page and in the dashboard. You can even see how much you have already used. That's pretty fair for a free service for which you pay nothing. For me, that's enough for a whole month.

It's funny, no one says the same thing about alcohol, yet it can get very costly very quickly.

I never bought MDMA or any other drug in nightclubs, but I've seen people dealing, and I think the price was €10 a pill. In the same places at the time, a random shitty drink was like €9 and a beer (330 mL) around 8. People would clearly drink more than a single drink a night.
Yes, I have difficulty understanding the point of a test-writing system that relies on your explicit assumption that whatever the code already does is correct.

What are you testing? Why?
I don't think we disagree. It's appropriate to feel grief after experiencing loss, etc; I'm not advocating some kind of Brave New World approach of popping a soma any time you're in danger of feeling uncomfortable.

I do think it's a helpful framing to say, "my intrusive thoughts are not me; they're weather that passes through my mind, no more meaningful than the shapes I find in clouds or the static between television channels." Like, if I'm feeling anxious, I might get a vivid fantasy of bizarre self harm; that's just some weird shit that happened, it doesn't mean anything more than that I'm anxious and that my mind is capable of producing some whack imagery. Before I had this framing I'd have concerns like, is there some deep dark part of me that's trying to harm me? But no, it's just that I'm a very complex machine, my sensory apparatus produces all kinds of weird signals and some of them are just noise; they can be ignored, I don't have to identify with them, and doing so would be dangerous.

What I was getting at was more that sometimes people invoke a naturalism fallacy, sometimes in combination with a "just suck it up" sort of mentality, which I reject for a few reasons:

1. We don't have to accept things because they are natural; we don't have to accept cancer, or our inability to fly, or depression.

2. There is nothing morally superior about being miserable ("just sucking it up"). Improving your life is a small way of improving the world; I think that's a moral good.

3. Consciousness is a reflexive process between you and your environment. You take in input which changes your inner world and you produce output that changes your environment. Your thinking can't be separated cleanly from that environment. For example, the people you regularly turn to for advice provide feedback you use to regulate yourself; they are part of your process for thinking and coming to decisions. If you take in input in the form of a substance that changes your thinking - that can be dangerous, it needs to be done with care, but it isn't actually "unnatural" in the first place. If there's a failure mode of your consciousness and taking an antidepressant helps you to avoid it, that's just a feedback mechanism you've discovered & adopted from the outside world.
I got the same mail, but how do we know this Ev is Evan Williams?
This is completely disconnected from reality. I hope the author receives the help they need.
At Google the nickname for these kinds of tests was 'change detector tests'.
It sounds like a good response only if you ignore the real point being raised: when coerced, a being who thinks of itself as having free will fights back at least a small amount.

Do you disagree?
The total time taken you can show is bounded by 2 which is finite.
On Apple platforms there is AppleScript, Automator and Shortcuts that can all do that, if the apps support it.
Yes. And you can also stick it in a landfill for a few hundred years until someone comes up with a better idea for how to use it.
It’s not about the morality of something, that’s another discussion. It’s the objective why.
That’s what happens when you burn a lot of good faith.
Ah good, I found it very confusing that Google Meet can choose an input device but not an output. I thought my headphones weren't working or something.

Kind of a pain to change it in Gnome too (why is there no output selector in the system tray? Windows has had that for decades)
Why are we still talking about this.
This, I once found and reported a security issue in the code. The prize that I got was to late Friday evening spend of fixing the issue while deploying all 20+ microservices.

Most of the "business" people either think security is not very important or are not able to appreciate the work.
The only thing impressive about this is how long it’s taken them to make this the default. This has been available since 2011 and other cloud providers have had encryption at rest by default for years.

The read-after-write consistency was definitely an impressive change. This however, not so much.
Okay dude!
I'd go with higher cubes because those look squashed. Ratio between height of the cube and it's width (diagonal) should be as close to cos(30deg)/(sin(30deg)*sqrt(2))/2 as possible. So since single cell cube is 25px wide, it should be around 15px high (not 13px as in this system).

16px looks even better but it would clash with "grid lines" creating line clusters.

Having cubes slightly higher so that wall-lines are slightly offset (15px instead of 13px, so +2px, a single micro-grid cell) from the floor-lines makes it better looking and easier to tell apart where walls occlude floors on the picture (or the other way around) or where different levels of floors are next to each other.

4X4 cube should theoretically have 59px height (not 49px as in this system) but it might be more pragmatic to use 57px so that you can stack 4x1 cubes to get to 4-cube height.

Apart from that, this system great! I especially like the rule about vertical lines on right pixels only.
Or change the formulation of the wear elements of tires. Tire manufacturers complain that tires aren’t viewed as items that most drivers are willing to invest in, much past the minimum. They’d be delighted to make premium tires that reduce the airborne particulates, although that would probably worsen the perceived comfort and actual safety of the vehicle. But maybe an 80-20 would get most of the environmental benefit with minimum impact to the driver and their safety. It’s a mature technology, but also a new challenge.

Or road sweepers that wash the road and collect the tire dust, not just the trash.
In many (most?) fonts, "'" is straight while "`" is slanted, so that looks terrible. Also, traditionally the double quote (") is the standard quote delimiter, because it is visually more prominent than the single quote, but there is only one kind of it in ASCII. Typographic quotes (“like this”) would arguably be best, but for most people it wouldn't be obvious how to enter them; and also different natural languages have different conventions here. Once we go outside of ASCII, you also have «this» and「this」and《this》and so on.
It would have been fairly obvious from holding it in your hand at the store ;)

It does call itself MD2-HD which is the abbreviation for Mini Disk, 2 sided, High Density. Mini disk here means 5.25".

3.5" disks were MF "Micro Floppy", as in MF2-DD or MF2-HD.
I wonder how difficult it would be to stand up a new panel manufacturer or just tv manufacturer? The current prices of TVs makes it seem cheaper than the past, but could be just locking out entrants.
1) We know it isn't because the same routine vaccination requirements have been around for decades.

2) They aren't forced. They are required to go to public school (with limited exemptions) but parents have other options, albeit more time-consuming and/or costly.

The primary reason given is "pandemic-related interruptions in children’s medical visits as well as in-person schooling", and catching up with documentation.

While it's "also possible that anti-vaccine sentiment, inflamed during the Covid-19 pandemic, is widening", "Health officials said they haven’t seen an increase in vaccine exemptions nationally".
Government agencies have a responsibility not to lie to the public to achieve what they think is a "greater good". The have a responsibility not to just change the definition of words like vaccine to fit their political goals

The failure here is not parents it is every single person in power and every single spineless person that unquestionably was regurgitating the dracionian narratives of those in power the last 2+ years
That makes sense, because the behavior I'm reporting is of the same infantile ilk.
> this kind of discourse is pushed by manufacturers of those drugs.

This is a very odd and misinformed take. I can't believe you could have had much contact with MDMA users and still say this.
That depends a lot on where you live.
We're shopping around for a pediatrician for our forthcoming baby and several offices we called said they will only accept new patients who will commit to a full schedule of vaccines. That's fine with us, but I got the feeling some providers are just tired of having the same stupid arguments with parents.
You’re implying this natural property of humans has appeared suddenly and gradually in the 21st century.
I think this is going to have a pretty substantial impact on the service. The power users who create a lot of the content on Twitter are very likely to be using 3rd party apps because the official app (and web version) are, in my opinion, completely unusable. Constantly switching the timeline view back to "Top Tweets" in order to surface more promoted posts and 'popular' tweets is annoying on any service, but doubly so on Twitter which is the platform where I expect to be reading the most current discussions.
Honesty?
In an unhappy marriage the other person is normally the source of unhappiness. Not always of course (I knew a guy who got divorced because he felt he'd missed out on having more relationships).
Another perspective: The box was never meant to be open. We are not meant to understand the full truth of the universe.

There are other boxes too, each box with a slightly different experience and each with a different price to pay. The price is irrelevant to the discussion though.

My question for you is, why is MDMA profound? Why the focus on this particular box. Why aren't you talking about the profound experiences generated by meth or heroin?
I've been using Safari for years now and I still think it's poor in many areas.

URL autocompletion is an absolute joke. Detaching tabs has been browser-crashingly-bad for about a year. Still no way to tell whether the current page has already been bookmarked. Performance is pitiful on large pages (e.g. long PRs on GitHub) to the point typing is takes whole seconds longer. Pointless "apps" for web extensions, which make it unnecessarily complex for non-Apple developers to publish web extensions for Safari.

I only use it because it's not Google’s and because it integrates better than Firefox. If I didn't have an iPhone I would never think of using Safari on Mac.
I'm pro vaccines, but chicken pox isn't a great choice for making a rhetorical point. It's the least dangerous illness of the standard childhood vaccines, and was added recently enough that even millennials just lived with it (the vaccine became available in the US in 1995).

Measles and polio are the ones I'd emphasize, not chicken pox.
OK so let me encrypt a movie and distribute that. Then you tell people they need to invoke additional data to watch the movie. Also give some hints (try the movie title lol).
Reference counting has limitations. It does not release cyclic structures, not suitable for lock-free algorithms and may overflow the stack.
No, the failure is still the parents. They’re the ones choosing to expose their children to deadly diseases.

That was true five years ago and it’s equally true now — we’re talking about the same routine vaccines. Nothing that happened during the Covid-19 pandemic changed that.
You can and should do better than them, not descend to their level. It's obvious to any reader that the parent was just making a bold assertion.
What if the compiler issued a warning if the f was missing and let you suppress the warning with an r?

Yes and the same works for founders. If they expect, they will hate it after buyout, they will probably resist.

But what if new opportunity is ok, gets you 30% more money, but your departure makes your current company very sad and perhaps worse place for everyone to work at?

I wouldn't expect a lot of support for the idea of staying if you ask the internet for an opinion.
- Doc Martens, though I'm not sure if they're still under $200. But my last pair kept going for twenty years of heavy duty traveling. I got another pair and don't expect to need a third one in this life.

- My IKEA rolltop backpack. No idea if they still sell em, but it's amazing. It was probably like $40 or less.

- My 1972 Stratojac suede cattleman's coat with fleece collar, which looks like something Jimmy Page would have worn to a Rolling Stone photoshoot. It's the warmest coat I've ever owned - it's too warm to wear unless it's under 40 degrees out. Weighs as much as a Fiat, but I've worn it in blizzard conditions and barely noticed the cold. Got it for $25 at a thrift store.

- Gerber Chameleon Remix knife. Carried one for decades before I moved to the UK and used it daily for anything from opening packages to using as a quick duty screwdriver to pulling it on some random thieves to discourage them in Kenya. I have no idea if they even still sell these either, but it was about $30.
Not all of the required "vaccines" have been around for decades. One of them is very new and that one seems to have a lot of controversy when it comes to kids and mounting questions on if it is safe or effective for said age group. Even mainstream news networks like the BBC are starting to air concerns from their own medical experts

I’m going though the performative bs of providing documentation for this to a tender and it’s all about the documentation not about the actual handling of security. They just want a set of documents so they can blame somebody else. Thankfully we use azure so we point the finger at them for most of it lol.
The first line of the article reads otherwise, that it's using the AES256 option, which does work cross-account without KMS permissions.

I think it’s both a a RISCV emulator and an x86 emulator. I think it’s both, presumably reusing some pieces allowing systems to be emulated like you say with weird configurations.
I also bought a sceptre 50” 4k dumb tv at the end of last year for around $225 and I have been very happy with it. It wasn’t HDR, but they are rolling out with HDR models now. Even so the color out of the box is pretty good and there are plenty of adjustments in the menu to tweak. Whats not to like?
You may as well get a RokuTV and avoid the remote juggling for volume control.
> I think it boils down to having specialized editors which you embed, and to a common interface that you may define over that.

Emacs modes, in other words?

Like how, in Emacs, C-n nearly always does "move to next line" but it could mean "highlight next mail message" and "Enter" nearly always does something with the current line but it could mean "open currently highlighted message" or "newline and indent as per language-specific rules" or "send this line to a subprocess" or whatever.

If somebody else made a language similar to Spiral, I’d have been happy to use it instead of spending my time creating it.
Your post is beautiful. It conveys the frustration so well. It would be funny if it wasn't for that.
Maybe 30 years ago. But there has been a US president who admitted to cocaine use and still got elected in a landslide. Of course it depends where and in what milieu but in the US mainstream I don’t think the stigma to some past drug use is that extreme. Especially if you’re clean now.
The Stirring Sound of Hot Chocolate
"But according to royal libertarians, land belongs to the first user, forever."

I think this is the essence of capitalism. It's not like Marx said that private property is the problem. It is this first mover advantage that is carried forward into the future forever. The solution is quite simple, you limit landownership to a finite amount of time, it could be 20 years like patents or it could be a public landownership system like Singapore or it could just be a land value tax.

The problem is that you cannot replicate being first without urban sprawl, which exists because the privilege of others being first forever. So future generations are in debt to past generations and their descendants, simply because they were first to settle. We are born poor because the first thing we have to do is negotiate with those who own our surroundings.

Also, one particularly perverse situation is where indigenous communities don't register their land and some foreign investor comes along and registers it without their consent and often the compensatory payments are purely symbolic like a dollar per hectare for land that leases for at least $20 per year.
MDMA doesn't work the second time you take it the same day, you won't feel practically any effect at all. You have to wait some time. The next day it might work a little but if you try to do it 3 days in a row that's not going to work.
I switched from Pixel to iPhone and lasted a week, the keyboard, among many things - was a real deal breaker. MS SwiftKey is a notch better than the rest (even GBoard) on iPhones, but nothing holds a candle to just typing on a stock Pixel's keyboard.

imagine if all engineers had a moral backbone and stuck with it, not just in outright fraud cases, but in how tech is shaped and impacts society.

The argument one "has to pay the bills" is silly and self-serving. All professionals have to pay the bills. There is something like a sectoral ethos and culture. Technies probably not the worst offenders (that would be the banking sector) but with tech seeping in everywhere it matters more and more.

I recently wanted to give this a try, but realized that it doesn't support the editing of .doc files. The fact that this isn't supported probably indicates that it's somewhat difficult to implement? I was looking for a way to replace the author meta info for all my old .doc files.
Anyone who disagrees hasn't tried to develop a website on Chrome and Firefox only to find out Safari still doesn't support regex lookbehind (which means zero javascript will now run). It's only been available in Chrome for 5 years after all, no rush.

I imagine there are plenty of people that prefer Autotune voices for some reason too. Doesn't mean everyone needs to agree that it's good in itself or for artists.
I am currently testing out Epson ls500 as a tv replacement. It has been great so far. Only downside is the ugly "periscope" on top and the throw distance being a bit too far so it takes too much space away from the living room. Epson ls800 looks like the perfect projector but is still a bit pricey. Ls800 has a much shorter throw distance and looks much better in the living room.
I realize the article is about MDMA, but clinical depression or crippling anxiety isn't anyone's true self.
