"Don't say stuff you're not willing to share forever, on any social network or on the internet at all in fact" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34487204

The article you linked is full of misunderstanding of the technology anyways, just because the underlying tech is append-only, doesn't mean you can't delete stuff from your local store or hide stuff you don't want to see.
Follows from the LU factorisation of the rotation matrix.
You know this hasn't stopped, ie Tom Cruise is 60 and you won't see him having female partners above 40, that look like 30. Sure he doesn't look his age, be it genes, good lifestyle, laser treatments etc. but he always looks much older than his partners.

It happens in real life too - successful older men being with much younger females is normalized by society and a common sight. The opposite not so much though.
> Feels like it was run by an in-crowd, with no strong interest in new users.

My more charitable interpretation of the experiences I had when trying it out was that they are stuck in a never-ending refactoring state where they are always in between the "old" and the "new" system, and you have to be very up-to-date to know which are the compatible beta versions of all packages (which can't be a good experience for existing users either).

I do like SSB for it's conceptual approach of trying to model existing social realities in technology rather than trying to build a technological model of communication and making humans conform to it.

In practice however, I think it has been superseded with ActivityPub and Matrix, which build on very similar core primitives.
'Primitive types' like integers and floats can be passed to the other side directly as function parameters without marshalling.

For memory access I can only describe how it works in the browser environment with Emscripten (for lack of experience with other WASM integrations): The WASM heap is exposed as a Javascript ArrayBuffer object (or more correctly that ArrayBuffer object is the WASM heap, created on the JS side and handed to the WASM side at startup), with per-primitive-type array views (for instance for byte access there's a global "HEAPU8: Uint8Array" object on the JS side).

Since WASM currently only has 32-bit pointers, pointers can be passed safely to the Javascript side as JS 'numbers' without loss of information. This 'number pointer' can then be used as array index to read and write data in the WASM heap from the JS side.

Don't know how it works in WASM engines outside the browser, but I suppose it's similar (e.g. a shared heap between the native side and WASM), except maybe that you can also pass 64-bit integers around without data loss.

But in no case there needs to be any JSON- or Protobuf-style 'parameter serialization' involved.

The project seems to have two different websites, https://aether.app/ is the other one.
Not sure what's going on with that... They have different content too.
Older men have had time to climb the social ladder and amass resources and status, a corollary for power. These equal higher odds of survival for offspring.

Younger women are more fertile.

There's nothing more to it than that. This dynamic has existed for so long it's part of our DNA now via sexual selection.
Interesting project though the ephemerality has big potential downsides. Alot of value from these communities comes from the long-tail historical data.

But this has its uses for sure.
> But the constant reality is that I will never ever be able to do all the things in my brain. It’s a severely frustrating and depressing fact I feel faced with every day. A world of highs and disappointment.

This really rings true with me. The excitement of the new project, and then the crushing realisation that I can't trust myself to put in the work to build it. Rinse and repeat.

I have no answers, but to say you're not alone. I do build things, sometimes.

Hi

I want a lot of things that Bret Victor wants from computers.

I journal my ideas on GitHub in the open, see my profile for links.

I want a GUI that is self referential that tells you how it is built and allows the backend to be visualised. This is similar to React Component browser extensions that let you see the live tree of elements.

Observability of software is verry difficult. I want to see train tracks animations of software running.
I think the first take on the subject was IBM with their PL/I Checkout and Optimizing compilers.
They've integrated almost full PL/I language interpreter in the macro pre-processor stage.
I was using it in the beginning of 80ies.
I'd like to nominate Portugal and Spain. Look on a map and it seems so logical.
Yes, but so? When they can implement a feature in a forwards compatible way they do, when they can't, they don't and it's caveated as such. That's why nullable types and other Kotlin specific type stuff are encoded using annotations.

It's the same strategy here. Carbon is (was?) also intended to compile to the C++ ABI and so does Circle, that's why it says it doesn't run on Windows (commercially a huge error. many of the biggest C++ codebases that could benefit are running on Windows like game engines, and Windows doesn't impose a specific C++ ABI anyway). But there's no way to take existing code files and switch them to the new language in Carbon, at least not yet. Kotlin was carefully designed at every step of the way such that every Java program can be expressed in Kotlin without change, even if that meant compromising on some things. Seems like the Carbon guys are being sucked up by the lure of safetyism and just want to make their own version of Rust that happens to compile to the Itanium C++ ABI.
With that model you need to ensure wrappers won't send requests with tons of tokens as you will be the one who ends up paying for gpu bandwidth... Meaning your spending is based on usage
Had a laugh about that too. It’s sometimes hard to tell what’s »non-technical« when you’ve spent a lot of time on something, and even then what it means to be »technical« depends a lot on the audience. Non-technical here means knows basic math but is not familiar with measure theory; it does not mean _anyone_.

I like that they added my favorite math joke in their (linked at the very top) limited audience jokes section [1] (bottom left, starts with »Two mathematicians are in a bar«), which is also a about what basic math knowledge is.

I think its easy to forget that sometimes people are just anxious by nature. OP doesnt say anything about his past, I am willing to bet he probably had Fomo on not having a side-gig before starting this company. He should treat anxiety as a separate issue, its far more common than people imagine, a small amount of it can be good, but when you find you cant relax then its an issue.

Companies hiring remote software engineers anywhere in the world
Hi folks. Remote Rocketship is my side project that searches the internet for remote jobs.

A dev friend of mine in South Africa was recently searching for a remote job and was complaining how most companies will only hire you if you're based in certain countries. So I ended up putting together this list of companies that I found that don't care where you're based.

I hope it's useful!
The design of the website is more customizable as you can change the majority of the styling properties for any element of the website. I haven't built anything to optimize the sites for SEO, but that's a great idea. I'm currently finishing contact form functionality where you get form submissions built into the application or set a custom action attribute to send them to your own url.

For more than 20 years a have a reaccuring dream for a couple of times a year. In the dream I find a shop or flea-market with vintage computers. It is chuck-full of the most wonderful vintage computers, quirky handhelds and other special electronics. I am in heaven but always I am just to late and the place is permanently closing. It is closing hour and I cannot buy anything anymore.

Strange, I didn't have these issues. X always starts right away (on several different NUCs), and installing KDE was really easy using the instructions here: https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD/Setup

The only problem I see is some hardware support (resolution/scaling detection isn't 100% perfect and needs some massaging) and the system monitor tool in KDE doesn't detect everything like temperature, network traffic etc. The old ksysguard does so I think the new one is depending too much on linuxisms.

Emacs I've never used so I can't comment on that.
> I argue that Japan is a harbinger state, which experiences many challenges before others in the international system.

A good example is housing. Japan had a gigantic housing bubble a decade in advance than the USA and Europe. It is also interesting to see that meanwhile declining population has not reduced price of houses in the city, it has made many town houses almost free. I would expect this to be replicated elsewhere.

Another interesting one is technology. Japan got trapped in the 90s, the fax era, and it is difficult to change. Will also the USA and Europe get stuck technologically as the population grows older? Again, it is to be expected.

Japan is not the world, but it seems reasonable that can give a heads up for many problems that other places will experience in the future.
I think I have some sort of weird ADHD combined with a stoic outlook. I want to see all the new, shiny things, but I also understand that I can't, and nothing bad happens if I don't, so I accept that I'll just miss some things.
I aim to build systems that are both secure and compliant. It’s convenient when (but not a given that) those two adjectives overlap with each other.

An Overview of Ruby on Rails 7.1 Features. Part III
It should perhaps be pointed out that the linked "blog post claiming MacOS X recently started scanning local files and reporting information about them to Apple" is pure BS, FUD.

As has been described in detail on many[1] places[2] on the internet. Apple are NOT spying on you. This is a VLU feature. Otherwise known as "Siri Suggestions".

Don't want the callback to Apple on images, disable "Siri Suggestions". End of story.

The false attempts at linking Siri to the discontinued Apple CSAM is pure BS, FUD.

[2] https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/18/is-apple-checking-images...

Edit to add:

1) In fact, Apple make this crystal clear if you can be bothered to look into "About Search & Privacy" in System Settings before firing up your blog editor and composing a completely unsubstantiated FUD-fueled rant ....

"About Search & Privacy"

You Have Choice and Control

If you do not want Suggestions from Apple to send your information to Apple, you can disable that option by going to System Settings > Spotlight > Search Results and deselecting Siri Suggestions. You can disable Safari Suggestions in Safari by going to Safari > Settings > Search and deselecting Include Safari Suggestions.

2) In addition, in relation to submitted information, Apple also make it crystal clear that IF you leave the feature enabled the data is not personally identifiable:

Any information sent to Apple does not identify you, and is associated with a 15-minute random, rotating, device-generated identifier. This information may include location, topics of interest (for example, cooking or football), your search queries, suggestions you have selected, apps you use and related device usage data. This information does not include search results that show files or content on your device. If you subscribe to music or video subscription services, the names of these services and the type of subscription may be sent to Apple. Your account name, number and password will not be sent to Apple.

This information is used to process your request and provide more relevant suggestions and search results, and is not linked to your Apple ID, email address or other data Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.
Financial stress is a likely cause here. I think the NHS guidance is to blame here as well, they give them out far too easily to avoid liability.

You're right people do self-medicate, but I guess better this than alcohol.
Rosetta is transparent right? So macOS would start Rosetta to translate amd64 Wine into ARM, and then Wine would be translating the Windows ABI into something macOS can handle.
Does it? I don't see how, can you explain?
The term 'pro-life' is about as flamebait as it gets so you'll be doing your arguing with yourself on this subject from here forward.
Hi,
I created something similar for Obsidian, but a lot simpler.

It's just a button that adds a tag with a date to a JSON file stored in a simple file. Adding an entry takes less than 5 seconds because it autocompletes from existing tags.

But a picture is worth a thousand words:

I accept that I'm not a polymath or genius. But I used to think I was supposed to be keeping up with everything in every field.
It is only forward compatible, is stuck in decisions when Java 8 was current, there is no roadmap to keep the language in sync wiht the underlying progress of the platform as Kotlin tries to be everywhere.

Loom, value types, SIMD, Panama,... are all features that start to be an issue to expose as Kotlin features.

It is working on Android, because Google is pushing it as Java 8 => Kotlin, not as Java XYZ <=> Kotlin.
Not a surprise given their general method of action. Messing with seratonin pathways is always tricky.

The issue here I feel is that sometimes depression is a symptom that one needs to change something in their life. So I dont think we should try to blunt all suffering.
Thanks :-)

Well yes, the very feature you described does exist! Sharing your result is available on game over, assuming you didn’t “cheat” (use hints) too much. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/kMouvTL.png That uses the navigator.share() API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/s...

I'm going to tell you what worked for me, with the explicit caveat that it may not work for you and/or you may not find it palatable.

I use browser extensions to timegate the time spent in websites that I know hit me in my weak spots and tend to send me into time-wasting sessions that I have nothing to show for. There's Stayfocusd and Leechblock, and probably other alternatives.

This worked for a few years, but it stopped. I tried rectifying that with no consistent success, there's no amount of calendar reminders / pomodoros or external triggers that helped beyond the initial novelty.

I tried medication, currently on Concerta XR 36mg, and it has made a world of difference. It's not a superpower but it does enable me to notice the distraction spirals I can get myself into and I can now break them.

I still have to use the same support systems I used before though. It's not a miracle cure, it just "adds" willpower to my toolbox.
Also an example of how not to fight the tape: even if they might've helped in good times, the fanciest business consultants can't save you if you're suffering supply chain issues at the same time that prices for your cash cow have tanked.
I have one project running since two years, doing around $16k/mo - https://roshade.com/

It started as an useful app for myself. Releasing it publicly was an afterthought, and it has been six months since I introduced a subscription model.

I learned about marketing and working on this project contradicted my assumptions as a software engineer - making it educational.

People don't want to see it or hear about it.

They say, "He lived a good life. It is just part of getting old."

But you have not lived the ruined part yourself yet. It is lonely and hopeless.

Everyone is living their lives and they do not want to hear how you really feel. They want you to be positive. They want to say, "He was a fighter."

A woman sits in my hallway crying because her father has not come to pick her up. She sobs and sobs. No one can comfort her. She might even be younger than me. No one visits her.

You become a helpless child again.

Things to say and think to make them feel better. So they feel like they will deal with it too and be ok too.

Time will move faster and slower for you too and you will see for yourself.
There are many services that do the printing/shipping for you, they take a big cut on the price though but you don't have to worry about anything at all.
Yeah. I have several levels of "things I will never get around to":

1. I keep a tab open for a few days until I have 200 tabs open. I then bulk save them using OneTab and never look at that either.

2. Things I want to remain in my gaze goes in my bookmark toolbar until it scrolls off the end and is never seen again

3. I occasionally use regular bookmarks and have come to accept the fact that I never look at them (although it does give them a bump in the address bar autocomplete which sometimes helps)

So - all of this is basically a sop and deep down I've just made peace with the fact that I never return to most of these things. I figure if it's important enough I'll just remember it and search for it.
The bigger issue with pass, IMO, is that there's no audit trail on secret access. At a previous job, the team used pass for shared ssh keys, passwords, etc. One developer got malware on their workstation. It was detected fairly quickly, but not before he'd used pass once or twice. At that point, we had to assume that the malware had been able to capture the PGP key and all the encrypted secrets. That meant that we had to rotate every single secret in all of our systems that were reachable from those. In a better setup with something like Hashicorp Vault, GCP Secrets Manager, etc, with auditing, we could've looked through audit logs to see which secrets were actually accessed during the vulnerable window and only had to rotate those.

Within the time-span of the study, I would argue both the Bible and Romeo and Juliet are effectively modern/contemporary events.
I don't know anything about /r/nba but from observations of other subs it seems just as likely that a few mods had a private discussion and said "Should we allow this?" and decided no, and then just went ahead and tried to enforce that. Once they've come to decision to not allow something they're not going to let it pass just because a lot of people are reposting it. If you give up after deleting the first 100 threads it makes you look pretty stupid.

On /r/soccer what's happened a few times is some story will come up like the one you mentioned, every single thread on the topic is deleted and then a day or so later there will be some announcement they had another discussion and have changed their mind so will allow one or more threads to be posted. There was a similar thing on /r/worldnews a few years ago when there was a spate of sexual assaults in Cologne at a Christmas/New Year parade. Initially all threads on this were removed on the grounds this wasn't really world news, but since it made the front page of many international papers was the main story on the BBC, etc - that initial judgement looked pretty stupid and threads were allowed.

I mean, it could be "kickbacks" driving this thing but honestly a lot of it is easy to explain without recourse to that. It's still arbitrary but not necessarily corrupt.
I really think this needs some screenshots.
I think we'll likely move to an oxbridge style verbal assessment methodology soon. The value of writing will be relatively lower when everyone can produce decent quality written output.
So either you generate some fake but valid credit card numbers (i.e with credit card number generator) and set some monitoring on them or even better, you generate a credit card number with something like revolut, and as soon you get some transaction on that number, you know your database was leaked.. not hard actually to setup something like that.
There was a two-three year period where macOS would incessantly forget my display arrangement and orientation.

An Alfred action to run the displayplacer command and then after a second to activate my 'default' Moom window layout made for a great workaround.
Is there a list of JEPs which includes the affiliation of the person proposing them? It would be interesting to see how many get approved. I would expect it's a lot easier to make progress from 'inside the tent' i.e. an employee of Oracle, Red Hat etc.

I'm thinkin if your understanding were sound I would have to listen to it, but I rather read about these kinds of things, so whis is why I say unsound is best

on the other hand, putting things down into writing is difficult. So while you diminish this paper's accomplishments, you couldn't have done it yourself in spite of easily understanding it.
Yes, this is helpful to me too. I still sometimes get stuck in a loop of starting projects but the reality of how hard actually building something from scratch knocks me down.
