Þorn was Þ (lowercase þ), þhough þe usual handwriting style gradually brought þe shape closer to y.

When printing presses were imported from continental Europe, þey didn't have þis letter, so þe letter y was used as a substitute.

Eð is Ð/ð, which has ðe same sound. Ðorn derives from runes, eð from Roman script. Eð is still used in Icelandic and Faroese.

I ðink English would benefit from a few more letters, alðough ðis one isn't ðe most useful. Æ or Ø, or accents on vowels, would be more useful for spelling and pronunciation.

"Thomas" is ðe only word I can ðink of with a TH ðat wouldn't be a þorn.
Grover too? To me, they're almost entirely separate. Kermit is the only one I remember who regularly appeared in both. I think there's a very brief Big Bird cameo in the Muppet Movie, but I cannot recall any other significant character from one show appearing as more than a brief cameo in the other.
30 min standups? That gives me anxiety just reading that. Unless there’s a legit reason standup should be like five min tops.

What’s blocking you?

Anything else, including what you’re working on, should just go in slack or better yet if you have a B tier or better manager, should be visible on a board somewhere for them and your team to see.
> the advertisers have lost one extra person to sell to

Which is aligned with Musk's strategy thus far, but there's also a good argument to be made that that product should have never been needed if twitter was providing a decent first party client. They should have wanted to provide that to control the advertising. Letting the third parties take that up was a poor strategy -- business-wise that is, I get that people may have liked it and have used it for a long time and are probably sad to lose it.
After listening to this podcast, I think I am sold.

It can most definitely change our lives, but most beneficially, enhance the lives we currently live.

Thoughts?
Now you got me curious: can you get Dashcode to run on modern macOS or does it only work on Snow Leopard?
Never got to experience it back in the day and would love to try it out.
Being back 1:1 is different from being redeemable.
I've asked internally to understand this.
I was checking out the docs for that and a few other similar solutions too. This is very true. Most of the secret managers are primarily intended for config-like data.
A shortened URL would fit into 20 chars (while some names don't) and I see this being widely abuse. One also would need a regexp to not allow things like URLs and phone numbers (but allow names in any language).
Depending on your benchmarks, WASM can be 5 times slower than C, or equally as fast (sometimes faster). https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/cpp-vs-wa...

Is the kid not capable of quietly playing with their toys?

Not making any judgement but I truly think that parenting is a two-person job.
I started using bottomless digital wells at 9 years old and it has led to compulsive browsing behavior with severely negative long-term consequences for my life.
Two of my sisters have in total 3 kids (4 to 6 years old) and all three of them need to watch youtube videos while eating.

Just few days back, my sister had a 'gathering' to announce her 2nd child (making it total 4 kids combined) and the 3rd kid needed to watch few youtube videos (usually they are of other kids playing or doing some stuff) to eat his dinner, which I found quite odd.

This thing is not only related to my sisters kids but for every new kid born in recent years, they will not eat 'peacefully' without youtube.

Also, TV cannot be used, it needs to be youtube where real kids are playing.

Edit:- Found the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCmSidxfQmY

Part of reason I 'think' is that these new kids born were not allowed to visit outside, leave home, make friends with neighbours kids, visit other families during Corona crisis and lockdown and they sub-consciously got attached to watching other kids doing fun things on youtube.

Someone should look into this as they are not watching Peppa Pig on youtube (which is also a kids show with characters as kids) but other human kids playing.
That sounds more like a parent that is totally disconnected from the reality of their child than a particularly deceptive child.
Academics can be maybe the largest class of midwits.
(This doesn't apply to people like Chomsky, he's a couple standard deviations higher).

As a high-school Valedictorian, I too was set up to do very well in academia, but could tell it would be too hostile and backwards from what I wanted. You're expected to be way too submissive and highly discouraged from original/independent/unpopular thought that conflicts with those already invested. I was excited to get to "real education" after conforming to high school but the rules only tighten, and it's 100x hyper-political.

So I skipped it, self-taught, and started stacking money. No use in casting pearls before swine and try to "fix the system" (and likely just be sacrificed to it, like Semmelweis). To the people trying to fix problems, thank you for choosing to be the martyrs so I don't have to; on the other hand, Max Planck had the right attitude when he said things advance via funerals, so why let it be your funeral?

Academics are good for bagging my groceries and delivering my pizza though, so I am grateful for their contributions. (I'm dunking on them here in jest, but PhDs -- pizza handling and delivery -- are above midwits but just often grossly misapply efforts. Sad to see).
Of all the reasons to choose AWS over GCP, account management would NOT be one of the ones I would consider. Amazon's account management is a fucking nightmare. I basically just don't login to Amazon anymore because it's so broken.
But be careful, this is one of of falsehoods programmers believe about names [1]. My name needs 16 characters, so 20 as a limit bothers me personally.

For this example I'd suggest allowing long names. No one wants to have a computer say "your name is not valid". However, if the goal of personalized email is to be friendly, or some other non-functional reason, consider only including the name in the email if its "short" enough. That seems like a graceful degradation that would limit spam.

Edit: or to address the URL/phone number concern, allow the user to pick that as their name, but not include it in the email.

Tell that to the pharmaceutical industry. Many pharmaceutical patents can't be reproduced without insider knowledge as discovered companies that entered the "generic" business.

You're right, but if the head can't move, you'll aquire less spatial information. That's what I was trying to say.
Same shit happened with GTA, on Steam for example. Lots of music pulled retroactively with an update, because licenses expired.

So far. There are many ways to make longrange, fuel efficient flying things.
Since most games don't even let you choose dedicated ASIO drivers for output, I'm not surprised at all. I think 50ms for gaming is okay.
Why UI layout calculations are slow
So it's great as an educational tool—my daughter is not yet two and surprised both me and my wife this way: when we whipped out a pack of flashcards we had never shown her, she already knew almost all of the shapes and most of the animals, can do the alphabet in random-access order, and was even about 50/50 on what the obverse sides of the alphabet cards depicted, only failing to associate the starting sound of the word with the letter (so e.g. she guessed Frog for the image on the back of the T card, when it was a turtle).

Then there are the disturbing parts. The ad starts “this is a word...” and I skip it but she chimes in to complete it, “smore denna word” from whenever I haven't been able to skip it... and I have to say “no it's not, they're lying to you, it's not even a word.” Somehow AirBnB’s marketing idea is to imprint deep upon the brains of impressionable children? I get the ads where they basically try to interrupt her YouTube channel with some other show about Barbie or Peppa Pig, they're trying to get the baby hooked on a new YouTube channel so that they can get in on this huge industry. But then there's a lot that are just questionably targeted, “Toddlers: I need to tell you all that when I needed to start a business and it needed a website, I turned straight to whatever-the-fuck.com and got it set up in ten minutes!”

The ads aren't the only part that I find questionable of course. There are real questions about her becoming a consumer and us not really being present for a playtime when we are monitoring her watching those programs. Take away the TV and she loves to draw on any piece of paper you give her, she craves walking outdoors and even demands to climb the steep steps up to home (assisted of course), loves to be upside down or piggyback. One of her first words was “hewpfull!” and she demands to help put cans/bottles in the recycling and close doors for us and turn out her own light at bedtime.

Opportunity costs, they’ll get you every time.
My kids watch a bit of YT kids. I used to be dead against it. Two things happened:

- One, my attention and energy is in fact finite. Perhaps I could work less, earn less, have more energy to give to them, but I just can't.

- There is a lot of good stuff there, and I see positive aspects of it on my kids. They learn songs. One of my daughters knew the alphabet by the age of 2, the other could count to 20. The oldest one comes up with so many nuggets of information: how volcanoes work, where the Eiffel Tower is, and so on. I also find the bad stuff on YT kids is fairly rare, and easy to ban.

In moderation I really think it's fine, and arguably even beneficial. Like most diverse experiences of life.
As a parent, screen time vs no screen time is a fine line that we have to continually renegotiate.

Screens can be great, there is so much good information out there that can enrich our lives. I wouldn't go the "no screens ever" route because that's just being a luddite, robbing them of the change to experience, and acquire expertise in, the digital world that they will be interacting with for the rest of their lives.

However, I am not letting my kid roam the internet, there be dragons. In particular YouTube's recommendation algorithm, even in their YouTube kids app, seems to default to serving up horrible brain melting crap instead of anything pedagogical. I am against kids content that is designed solely to entrance and keep them sitting still, it's the equivalent of digital candy floss. For example, the whole "surprise egg" trend, which basically is a video version of the lootbox / Deal Or No Deal, mechanic, is some of the most popular and recommended videos to children on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEB&search_query=surpris...

All three of the frist vids we were served by YouTube kids were surprise egg videos. Hard uninstall.

Curating content and setting limits on screen time is your job as a parent in this era. We cannot outsource this responsibility to companies and AIs because there is simply no way an algorithm find the stuff that is just right for your child.
No, they're asking for it to be morally complex and uncomfortable. The moral lesson is being given in your comment.
If I'm not mistaken, the bill only goes in effect when the states that have signed it start making up the majority of the electoral college.

One can go the venture route, or the adventure route.
Þ is a long press on T, and Ð a long press on D, on my phone.

But ðis might be because I have Danish as well as English installed, at at least Ð is required for Faroese names.
“Strangest thing to me about the topic is that it’s obvious vast percentage of citizens within democracies wish they lived in an authoritarian country, yet choose to live in a democracy and use the liberties they’re provided to actively destabilize and destroy it.”

Yes agreed.

“Yes, I am aware current authoritarian countries wage propaganda campaigns, but in my experience such campaigns would be meaningless without an existing tendency to seek out authoritarian rule.”

Yes agreed.

“While likely flawed opinion, I do feel like one possible explanation is nationalism in general, since while many democratic countries will argue they believe in the rule of law, ultimately any non-citizen is treated as if they are within an authoritarian country and for sure not as citizens by default.”

Losing me. Non citizens aren’t citizens by default and therefore should in any country be extended the same rights. As they don’t bear the same responsibilities.

“Only once there are countries that treats all people equally and as citizens, will such an issue be addressed in my opinion.”

This is where I think the breakthrough was lost in my opinion. Having the realisation of the first few paragraphs but getting it backwards. All I have ever seen is a corrupting influence of some groups from authoritarian countries who move to democratic states only to attempt to take their brutal systems with them. Specifically here to avoid doubt I’m talking about Islamic and Chinese immigration both have in various countries setup their own police systems. This is wholly unacceptable and should not be tolerated in the same way Irish/Italian/Russian organised crime shouldn’t. Not saying it’s all people from a place or a “racial” thing cause there are many people trying to escape the regimes of their homes. However it’s clearly motivated by nationalism but by external nationalism. People taking pride in their own countries is a counter to this influence.
Try Internet Archive or Google Books. I think most of them can be found there, though maybe not in the corresponding editions.
To my grandparents / great grandparents generation at the time (70/80's) TV has become the world's nanny would have generated all the same comments as this.

If you watched tv - the idiotbox - for more than 15 minutes your eyes would go square.
You mean Glyder, by Glu! My favorite game (well, it and its sequel, Glyder 2) on iOS by far.
It could’ve been a lot better.

> Do you assume politicians pushing Leave were doing so to be able to limit human rights? People like Daniel Hannan or Nigel Farage would probably oppose that. One of founders of Vote Leave Matthew Elliott founded Big Brother Watch

Some were, some weren't. Broad tent is necessary for anything at this scale.

I'm surprised you list Frage among the supporters of human rights, given:

• https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel-farage-human-righ...

• https://www.gbnews.uk/news/nigel-farage-told-human-rights-la...

Hannan is quieter about it, and generally puts a positive hopeful tone through his speeches and writing, but still disfavours the institution and appears to believe that the UK doesn't need an outside court because, to paraphrase, "we're the goodies not the baddies": https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/717100/Conservative-...

Not on your list, but there is also Boris Johnson: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12656214/boris-johnson-europea...

(Though with him I will grant you he's so pathologically disconnected from the concept of truth existing in objective reality that it's difficult to say what his goals were beyond self-aggrandisement).

> Taking back control might really be based on the fact that many EU countries are way more left-leaning, financially irresponsible, poorer, etc

Eh, if that was a strong part of it, there wouldn't be so much anti-German sentiment.

And I saw a lot more people going "look how badly Greece was treated" than "Greece is what happens when you mess up, and they got lucky with a massive bailout".

> pro-immigration and pro-multiculturalism

Hmm.

Well, people do put things in a single category when words are similar, let alone identical, so I can believe this error occurred.

But I will still call it an error, as the "pro-immigration and pro-multiculturalism" I see in the EU is between EU countries rather than across the exterior borders. I take the view that, with the post-war meaning of the term, "Fortress Europe" is a thing (and that's bad): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_Europe

Obviously I acknowledge there are people who say that "it's not a thing and that's bad". Since the referendum, three such people have managed to combine holding the position (emphasis on "and that's bad") as the UK Home Secretary while also being the children of migrants from outside the EU.
Little reminder: Some 20 years ago a US surveillance stealth plane/bomber crashed in China. They didn't start any shit...
Reading a writer like Fitzgerald makes you realize how wide the gap is between good writing and great writing.
I would hazard that there is a good bit of transmission of shock waves from below to the surface, but it's ofc attenuated by the large mismatch in density at the ground air-interface...

How badly were they hurt? Were they hurt at all?
>Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Just think about George "Good Will Hunting" Dantzig [1] with the (in)famous "I assumed these were homework assignments, not unsolved math problems" [1] or Eliud Kipchoge running a marathon in under 2 hours.

A pretty infamous example is Citizen Kane. Welles knew very little of traditional cinematography techniques by the time he got to the production of the movie, so his planned shots more or less fit his artistic vision rather than industry standards. Gregg Toland, his director of cinematography, was at that point a 12 year veteran of the industry and hated the bland factory-line output of movie composition of the period.

Welles more or less told Toland what he wanted to shoot and how, and Toland did his best to fit that artistic image. Welles was completely clueless that Toland was using innovate and never before seen techniques to film his shots, and Toland kept quiet because he was allowed to go wild with his vision :)
That would be fine as long as they don't go for the attention like with regular ads. They need to be very careful though, other device makers are not that behind Apple and worsening the user experience can very well kill Apple.
I think they are talking about asynchronous reprojection that is extensively used in VR. Here a demo on a 2D game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvFyOFacljg

He exposed the concept in this post: https://web.archive.org/web/20140719085135/http://www.altdev...

But it was not named asynchronous projection back then.
Why my brain can't focus when I'm horizontal? Anybody else feels the same?
I think it’s only the beginning. This is just a text ai that actually works most of the time for most things (granted you take some care crafting your prompt).

Imagine when it’s voice and physically interactive. I’d love to have a Boston robotics dog that I can talk to and work together. Or the bro robot who moves on two legs. Imagine a road trip with the dog and the bro. Bro.
Deposit return systems work but it's really annoying now that I have a big recycling bin, I still have to pay 10 cents a can and then feed them into the machine one by one, the machines are always full or broken and they're usually only open until 7pm. So then I end up with hundreds of cans since I go to the store later, and they cap the amount you're allowed to return at one time.
My whole point was that the headphones move with the head, so your brain can't deduct spatial information from head movements.

If I mount your head in a fixture and play a sound, you won't be able to place it in three-dimensional space. Only on a 2D plane.

As soon as I let you move your head, you have a much better chance of guessing where the sound comes from.
Yes but likely that it's only relevant when the temperature is in in the micro kelvins and the effect of the magnetic field is not absolutely overpowered by the thermal energy in the system.
Phineas and Ferb is a very well written children's show on Disney, that is somehow able to construct amusing characters with some substance, an A & a B plot in every episode, clever writing and on the whole completely inoffensive, “family friendly” and just generally nice.

My children (25, 22 and 17) have long outgrown it, but when they are all home together for the holidays, will sometimes put it on.
Another thing that makes Windows builds go slow is the lack of vfork(). On Linux, vfork() lets you create and teardown a new process in ~30 microseconds. On Windows it takes about 6000 microseconds to do the same thing, which is in large part due to the lack of copy-on-write memory (which Windows won't support, due to Microsoft corporate culture being heavily biased against overcommit models).
This is a backwards view. The economy and financial systems actively and VERY STRONGLY encourage us to spend as much time as possible making money.

This can be shown in absolute clarity: we are paid to work and not paid to not work.

You are forced to work, because you have expenses that you must pay: food, shelter, healthcare. If you do not work, you die.

You buy stuff to try to maximise your enjoyment in each unit of time, or to maximise your time: dishwashers to do the dishes, air fryers to cook food quicker. An apartment closer to work. A nanny, a cleaner, an accountant.

Some people use that extra time to... do more work. And because they do, the economy rewards them; inflation and expenses rise, and now everyone else needs to spend more time working too.

The exception to this is that it's possible to hit a threshold where your projected wealth is greater than your projected expenses for the rest of your life, and this allows you to work less. This threshold is unreachable for the vast majority of people in the world, and even the US, at least until the few last years of their lifes.
Categorising music is surprisingly different.

See this paper from https://everynoise.com/ : https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf

IIRC they try to classify music on 17 different points/features. What you see on the web is an attenpt to visualise (and provide a guide to music based on) some of them
Totally agree aluminum is well recycled and glass hits even higher percentages outside the USA.
At this point, it seems common knowledge that overuse of YouTube and social media can have long-term effects on attention, etc. (I would appreciate references here, if anyone has it)

But do we know how we that relates with other stuff like TV or videogames?
It would be interesting to see a study comparing how they affect children growing up, or even adults.
most of the time my wife is there to look after our 16 month old baby when I cook, but there are occasions when she's not. Usually in those cases I sit her in her high chair next to me in the kitchen, and entertain her by giving her kitchen ustensils to play with, like a whisk, a funnel, a wooden spoon, or sometimes I sacrifice food by giving her a raw carrot for instance.

As I cook I make her try the food as it goes, and I narrate what I do, try to make it interesting, sing etc.

And I make sure to, as much as possible, do everything that requires two hands as fast as possible (cutting vegetable and meats) so that if she ends up getting frustrated and wants to go in my arms, I can hold her with my left hand whilst I cook with my right hand.

We do that a couple time a week at least and 90% of the times it goes well. There has been the occasional time where she was in a bad mood and crying and I had to use both hands for cooking, with no other choice that to let her cry for a while, but mostly it's alright.
Nope. Because headphones don't give you sound pressure fluctuations in your body, and because the depth (not width!) perception is all messed up when using headphones.
