To be honest I've never found cheesesteaks to be exceptional, the best of them are just pretty good, cheap, convenient and satisfying. I tell people that if they want a really good sandwich in Philly, they should go to DiNic's for one of his pulled or roast pork sandwiches. It's in Reading Terminal Market, which is a pretty nice place to take visitors anyway.

15 day PTO and the 40h week was brought by a conjunction of union work, general striking, and the first elected socialist government in France.

I dunno when the EU laws were created, but the 4th and the 5th week of PTO were also brought by unions (one with the help of q socialist government). The other 14 days (we have 39 total PTO in France, 14 of those can be redeemed as money basically) i don't know where they came from.

I bought a Lemur because of coreboot but I can't tell if this laptop will have coreboot or a closed BIOS/EFI. Admittedly I haven't played around with customizing the coreboot firmware but that was my intention, mostly to avoid long boot times and potentially to try fitting the whole kernel in firmware.
Sure, that’s a fair description of how he probably got started in his criminal behavior. But that’s not the situation he’s in now! He needs to think (or should be thinking) about how to minimize his time in jail.

He’s in serious serious legal jeopardy and he keeps opening his mouth. That’s a very, very bad strategy.

I guess to answer my own question he probably has his head so far up his own … that he can’t imagine why he should take anyone’s advice about anything, including lawyers.

You can still do it.

rpath doesn't just apply to executable binaries, it applies to all shared objects including libraries. So, what you can do is modify the dyld that the python/ctypes module will eventually dlopen(). You should be able to find it by rooting around in the files installed by the module in question.

rpath is evaluated not just at binary execution, but also upon any dynamic linking -- including dlopen(). So it will work for both ctypes and CFFI.

Regardless, I'm not sure what your point is. Email is still very much an open ecosystem with plenty of interoperability and competition. I myself use a custom domain with a hosted email service that isn't being run by Google or Microsoft (I opted for mailbox.org).

The spam problem means that it can be tough to ensure your server is being treated as a member in good standing--you need to implement things like SPF/DKIM, you need to ensure you don't land on any blackhole lists, etc--but so long as you do those things, you system will absolutely interoperate with any others.

I thought this book was decent, and I don't know of any others better in the niche, but I wanted a bit more science than was presented. I think Casey got too intimidated by the scientists to really try to understand the models at all, and then spent too much time fawning over Laird Hamilton. But perhaps that was a decision made by the editors rather than by Casey navigating two very different groups of protagonists.
I agree — if you allow that YouTube is the means of distribution for an indie-filmmaker. (For better or worse.)

I remember when, in the 80's, sci-fi conventions were perhaps one of the few means of recognition that the Super-8 indie guys get exposure (and maybe a career) with the likes of, for example, "Hardware Wars".
It is decent advice, but not survival advice.
Leverage is a combination of an asset and a liability. You gain assets in the short term in exchange for a long term liability.

There is a difference between code and a liability. If a business could wave a magic wand and instantly remove all liabilities from the balance sheet, it would do so without question. They would not, however, do that for code (or the business would collapse).

> Megacorp optimized junk (and nothing else) sold at every 7/11 on the continent? Perhaps not so excusable.

It's excusable because it's just tasty food, which theoretically we are supposed not to eat too much. The problem is that this food became more tasty, convenient and sometimes cheaper (at least in time-value) than normally cooked food and we as a society don't even have enough time and knowledge to cook proper healthy food.

> (and nothing else)

Because it's cheap. There are many places where you can buy healthy food but it's more expensive.

When I was in school in Ontario, about 30 years ago, homework was for practice. It was evaluated usually, but not a major part of the final grade; grades for homework were mostly for simply (trying to) complete it. Some students will get their parents or friends to proofread it. Some don't have parents who can read. Some students will cheat; there's software out there that'll make doing homework easier than it should be. (Very guilty of that one myself even back then.)

We were expected to write essays in class, during class time. Most of our grades were based on that. In my later years of high school, my teachers stopped even checking my homework for math etc, unless I wanted them to. Grades for my final year courses were almost entirely from in-class exams and projects. From what I've heard it's still similar here, even with remote schooling. (Though that certainly creates its own issues!) Is it different elsewhere?
Sure, but you can say that about most solutions, especially organic bottom-up solutions, like the internet, while neglecting the upsides of it being bottom-up and organic like this system's ability to come up with its own fixes just-in-time instead of waiting for top-down decree.

FWIW, telco companies in Mexico don't charge for WhatsApp data transfer. As for prices, a 30 day Telcel 4.5GB plan is 200 pesos ($10) per month. So long as you don't use up the data doing things outside of WhatsApp, like surfing the web, which will expire the plan, then you get free WhatsApp (and Instagram and most social media) transfer for the month.

So it's not the worst organic solution and it's not even obvious how to centralize a better solution. For example, how many subway drivers are there and how much govt bureaucracy would be needed to do something like give everyone a $10 stipend for WhatsApp? Even giving each driver an extra $10 pesos per month wouldn't change anything.

In fact, they may hold you up and waste more of your time because this "yes man" will spend extra time determining what's clearly a waste of time is in fact a waste of time.

How can I make a collapsible chair float on a lake?
I'm making an art project where the main idea is to create an illusion of a collapsible chair floating in a bleak lake with me on it. How can I make this work with physics?

I was considering using some sort of floating device (inflatable), and weighing it down slightly with something hanging from it, and plopping a chair on there. Or if that's too unstable, creating a frame around that and weigh it down so it dips beneath the surface. Do you have a better idea?

I look at this and I see a visually-well-organized hierarchy of objects with properties and children. It's a sideways tree diagram. I honestly don't get what's supposed to be unappealing about it.

> Can you name any language any more unreadable than XML to help me?

Most of the other markup languages depending on the usecase. The "redundant" tags everywhere like </Address> in XML are very helpful if you're in the weeds of a big document that's taller than your viewport - you still know exactly what you're looking at and where in the hierarchy you are, as opposed to JSON or YAML which I find much easier to get lost in.

Anyone can pick up a (properly-named) XML document and tell what it means at a glance, but JSON is easily a mystery unless you know the implicit schema beforehand.

Maybe there's some minor friction to get past looking at XML because it's a little visually busy before you learn how to parse it out? Is that all there is to it?

That's why I'd imagine they have rules about habitable planets in the galactic federation. You can't just go around landing on habitable planets and turning them into overpopulated toxic dumps after 300 years and repeating that exponentially. It's just not allowed. If it was, earth would have already been trashed by other E.T races thousands of years ago.

There wasn't a search engine for Usenet for a long time (other than grep'ing the spool dirs), which was frustrating. I would argue it's more like some combo of "more people connected together who can answer, an ability to quickly find relevant pervious answers, coupled with some amount of social capital accrual that makes taking the time to answer worthwhile". Those things make me think 'internet' is at least a big part of the answer.
I'd say give them some not so important projects to satisfy their appetite for complexity and keep them from critical ones.
Until we understand the limitations of ChatGPT (see Stephen Wolfram's post), it is entirely premature to immediately begin identifying the ways in which learning should change.

Seth is posting a rant against essay writing. As a millenial (who saw the advent of the internet change school curriculum), I know that our workload became more intense after internet became more pervasive. Before it would take a trip to the library to write a paper. Now, we were doing 4 times as many papers and consuming 4 times as much information, making us X times(!) smarter than our predecessors. And we changed the rules of the workplace dramatically. (We were usually just as competent, if not more competent, as the more senior people in the office. & We were usually underestimated.) AI is going to do the same to education. It is not going to make children less capable of writing, but far more capable of writing. Children are literally going to go over AI generated information and make it better.

I should start fearing the next gen of young adults. I am going to be just as outdated as the boomers are today.

I sort of see what you're saying — hopefully the new streaming world we've found ourselves in can allow for more "long-tail" content. But "we're living in a golden age of TV" sounds so ... gross.
So the employer from TFA that no sane person would never ever want to work for is Reach CPA. I’m making a mental note to never, under any circumstance, do any business with Reach CPA. I wonder what Reach CPA employees think about this whole situation. TBH I would rather be unemployed than work for Reach CPA. The thought of working for Reach CPA actually gives me anxiety. Reach CPA is not a company I would ever want to be associated with.

A take I haven't heard yet that isn't just "chat robots bad":

It's not like the output of a teenager means anything, the whole point is that they activate their brain to critical thinking and learning. The exercise of making ChatGPT output look convincing, and familiarizing yourself with that output to defend it if questioned, is still a learning exercise. It looks different, but it's honestly just as impressive as them writing about what Hamlet was thinking when his dad died or whatever the fuck that was about.
To me, ActivityPub support is for a different goal and that's because I see short form and medium-form (i.e. blogs) as separate use cases in practice.

Mastodon represents a short form corner of the fediverse. To participate in this corner via a medium-length tool would mean participation from people who are blindly syndicating at worst, and having a disconnected experience at best. It'd be disrespectful to the community there.

Instead, Medium authors should be fully present as short form participants, even if all they want to do is share a link.

To speak in the town square you need to be present in the town square. In the case of Mastodon, that means reading and writing from a short-form app.

The point of adding ActivityPub (both ways) would be to be part of a much, much smaller blog-length corner of the fediverse. It's interesting, but is fundamentally a different goal.
The "redundant" noise makes it more human-readable in my opinion. If you're in the weeds of a big XML document that's larger than your viewport, being able to see that you're at the end of a </Address> helps you keep your place, as opposed to something like JSON which I find much easier to get lost in. Even if it's not that big I appreciate the extra rails on the XML making it easier to keep my place.
I use a text-only browser, i.e., an HTML reader than can make HTTP requests, with no support for CSS, JS, WASM, etc. and I access the entire web with it. For Gopher and Gemini I find I do not need a browser.

These projects do not have to appeal to large numbrs of people. The goal need not be large audiences for advertising.

I have no idea how many people use the same browser I do, that has not mattered IME and TBH I really do not care. Although I have seen on the project website that a number of companies made donations to sponsor certain features, and the company names and amounts are listed on the website. Those companies must have found the program useful.

Methinks there are just so many folks who have bet their entire livelihood and career on the asymmetry that the web has enabled, where its users are generally powerless and control nothing on their computers. Anything that could give control to users is perceived as a threat. This is highly dysfunctional, IMHO.

Even when such things have nothing to do with whatever commercial endeavors these folks are engaged in. I use HTTP every day via small programs I can edit and compile and therefore control. Everything works. I can do "industrial strength" web search without ever opening a browser. I find it hard to imagine these techniques would not be useful to others.

The internet needs need more projects like Gemini and Kristall.

Check out the arguments Google tries to make about its position as the "default browser" in this court filing from earlier this week. The company pays hundreds of millions of dollars to various parties in order to be the "default" search engine, its CEO himself was engaged in setting up such "payola" arrangements for Google prior to becoming CEO, but one would never guess that from the assertions Google is making here.

What if these operatings systems were, by default, set to cycle through a list of search engine choices, randomly selecting one each time a search is submitted, until the user chooses one as the default. Over time, the user might become familiar with a variety of search engines. She could then make a more informed choice about which one to set as her "default". Instead, what we see in this motion is one "tech" company arguing that other "tech" companies think it is superior. Who cares what "tech" companies think. What do users think.
