That's much better compilation time than kotlin/native:wasm

People put references to hobbies/interests/trends in technical problem discussions all the time; that's what makes a shared culture. Look at e.g. "yeet" in the Rust expression discussions, or cheese/spam/etc. mentions in Python.

Why do you think this should be treated differently when that hobby/interest/trend is sexual? Why do you think something sexual is "weird/distracting" in a way that other interests aren't? Given that you explicitly said "How would they go about explaining that label to a child?", complaining that you're not making a "think of the children" argument and don't care about children seems more than a little disingenuous.
They still make the g604. One feature I like is it'll connect via USB, Bluetooth, or their own dongle which gives you higher refresh rate and better reliability than Bluetooth.

Can you clarify whether this is human hype or AI HAIpe?
I can relate to GP's feeling here. When I first installed Berkeley Mono and looked at some code in it, I had the same reaction: the spacing between characters looked inconsistent in some words. I think that some other monospace fonts do a better job of making the narrow characters ("i", "l", etc.) match the width of wider characters.

That said, I've been using it for a couple weeks now, and have stopped noticing that.

My main issue with it now is that some italic glyphs get cut off in my terminal, but I'm not sure if that's the font's fault or my terminal's fault.
Natural gas compliments renewables until battery storage and renewables overproduction pushes out natural gas. It also produces smaller amounts of CO2 per unit of electricity produced versus coal.

Recently, there was an HN thread about large amounts of UK wind curtailment. The largest battery storage system in Europe just went live to provide grid services that’ll negate the need for natural gas to provide those services, while reducing wind curtailment.

When I became a parent, I learned another reason we spice our food: to protect parents’ meals from tiny thieving hands.

I’m serious. I think there’s a slight evolutionary advantage to liking spiced food in adulthood.
I'm super excited to test performance of this, but also I'm very curious about adoption. This approach to templating seems great for simple elements, but often times when instantiating a custom element we also want to bind functionality into the elements of the DOM. The @ decorator is very common in many webcomponent libraries' (i.e. lit) html() function. I wonder if the tradeoff of a more declarative approach is worth it for those relying on that existing functionality.
Any opinions on the actual article?
Ok, I will look into that
Well that’s why we have amphetamines and modafinil.
Did VC investments actually increase a lot in 20-21? Did Twilio issue more stocks?

I get that Rich people were buying new assets, but I don't see how that is new funding for hiring. I thought it was more of an increase in asset prices for more risky assets. So the previous owner of the stock gets paid, but that doesn't result in hiring.
Decorators in TypeScript is still an experimental feature which may change depending on if/how it's implemented in JavaScript.

> To enable experimental support for decorators, you must enable the experimentalDecorators compiler option either on the command line or in your tsconfig.json

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/decorators.html

> ..the current decorators proposal, which is a work in progress

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators

Oh, but I see that the proposal is now at Stage 3, which means the specs and syntax are stable ("completely described") and ready for browsers to implement.

On further digging, it seems decorators will be a standard feature included in TypeScript 5.0 planned for release on March 14th.

90s Economist was more of a neoliberal front preaching privatization and austerity programs for third-world countries. While heavily ideologized, it tried to keep things from going too extreme, not it is just another sensationalist brown paper.
I know far too many people that talk like ChatGPT in this example.

In fact, to me, the world seems full of such people.
Or it could just be that "this is the way we've always done it" / that Slack has enough inertia in the organisation that changing workflow, updating shortcuts, etc. is inconvenient and thus left until the last minute to change over.

I haven't used slack but broadly speaking Teams / Zoom / all of the other platforms I've used have been roughly the same, in that they all get the job of text and (usually) video communications done. Some might be a bit nicer to use than others but largely it doesn't matter which one you use as long as everyone is on the same platform.
Perhaps, being AI themselves, they’re monitoring the evolution of ChatGPT.

I always thought the confounding factor was that coffee keeps you productive. Meaning, drinking coffee gives you (superior) employment, which means you get decent health care. You also might gain some meaning in life from your job. You will also probably get some extra human interaction with coworkers as well.

Going to work and being a part of a large organization that works on cool products definitely “energizes” me. I have friends at work that I enjoy seeing daily. I would have a hard time keeping my job without caffeine. I could easily see all the ancillary life benefits of being caffeine addicted being the primary reason why coffee seems to be good for health in all these studies.

Replacing a generic "required" with "required to join a group/team" actually makes it sound more like hazing to me.
I don’t know if this is addressed by this article (I cant read it because paywall) but I’m gonna make a leap of assumption—because this is the economist and are likely to be guilty.

I’m seeing more and more of a new kind type of climate denialism pop up lately, which I like to call climate optimism. A climate optimist is aware that the climate crisis is real, is caused by humans, and is an existential threat to humanity. However, they claim that the worst of the climate crisis has already been solved with technology and capitalism. I.e. they think that the current and developing technology solution will prevent more climate disasters and now it is just up to the free market to apply it. In other words, there is nothing more that governments must do but to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry (sometimes natural gas is excepted). A prime example of a climate optimist is the youtube channel Kurzgesagt. But I see this a lot from people that like to cite Our World In Data.

This is climate denial because it completely ignores global trends in carbon emissions, production capabilities, infrastructure rollout in poorer economies, etc. We are still increasing our carbon emissions (albeit at a slower rate) at a time when we needed to have stopped releasing CO2 altogether.

EDIT: After reading the article (as someone posted an archive) I see—to my surprise—that this article is not guilty of my accusations.
When was that the case? I can't remember tbh, and it would have been insane for rooms like Matrix HQ.

Maybe before 2020?

“<new thing of today> is corrupting our youth” is a complaint for which the documentary evidence is pretty much as old as records of writing go.

No one ever finds a solution, because before they do today has become yesterday, and the kids that were being “corrupted” are grown up and complaining about the new thing corrupting the new youth.

"I don't know anyone who chooses Teams."

Easy, MSFT throws it in for free when you buy other products. That's why there is no incentive to make it better. If you eliminate slack or anything else, you get to say "See, by buying Microsoft we're getting our needs met and saving money". Same thing for GitHub, that's just a freebee depending on your spend at this point.

Sounds like a good instruction, but apparently it just results in the AI thinking that its logic is infallible even when it isn’t, such as this conversation that was shared yesterday: https://old.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110eagl/the_customer_...
I lived in a not-too-rural city in the Midwest of about 40,000 at the time, and we still didn’t have school busing for anyone in the city. It was only for rural folks.

I was forced to get my drivers’ license at 16 to drive 10 min to school because the alternative was walking 1.2 hours every morning one way ti get to school… meaning leaving the house at around 6:00am.

The city had no city bus, so there was zero public transit option.

That was weird.
What do you mean choose? They don't get to choose when school starts.

Even setting aside how hard it is for a teenager to sleep that early.
Big Company can make it very difficult to use an alternative to the preferred tool. Blocking network traffic or restrictions on what binaries can be installed on corporate computers can be very effective at keeping the team using the same chat client.
If it costs a billion dollars per medicine to develop someone needs to pay that cost. If you don't have some sort of government medicine research branch with a budget of tens of billions to develop medicines then private companies want a way to recoup their investment and then make a profit.
The comment I was referring to also used the phrase "2 ton death machine" instead of calling them cars. That's usually a good sign that what a person is advocating for is more than merely adding more non-car transportation. :-)

And indeed, checking their other comments they also want to greatly reduce parking spaces for cars in cities. That would make it so most people in cities could not own cars, and greatly raise the cost of parking for those that do own cars meaning cars could probably be owned by people in the top income groups.

So I think my inference that the type of city they are advocating would be one where data center employees would very likely not have cars, and so data centers would not be in the middle of nowhere.
I've been dogfooding the iPad layout of Element X under macOS on Apple Silicon since day 1 - it works pretty well. We could also ship it via Catalyst to run as a pure macOS app (albeit with the iPad layout) on both Apple Silicon and Intel, once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106021 is fixed.

Unfortunately making it a "real" macOS app is much harder, as the UI is currently uses UIKit in a bunch of places to make up for feature and performance limitations in SwiftUI. These would have to be ported over to AppKit to run on macOS. I had a go at it over the holidays, but it's not trivial - perhaps someone with more AppKit skills than I could make it work (or maintain a fork) though.

To give an idea of the amount of UIKit that would need to be swapped out:

matthew@shadowfax ElementX % find . -name \*.swift | xargs perl -ne 'while (/[^a-zA-Z](UI[A-Z].*?)[^a-zA-Z]/g) { print "$1\n" }' | grep -v UITest | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

WebChatGPT does almost what you suggest. However, it does not actually scrape the result pages but instead uses the snippets on the DDG result page as the context to ChatGPT. https://github.com/qunash/chatgpt-advanced
There are plenty of great responses already, but to add a perspective I think might benefit folks who don’t especially care about the style and Web Component isolation aspects: Shadow DOM standardized those aspects of encapsulation not just for user-authored stuff, but also for encapsulated behavior of browser-native functionality. So for a very silly example, you can now inspect the shadow DOM of an image that failed to load and see the resulting DOM representation that the browser uses in place of the intended image. You can do the same for form field elements and a lot of other elements which used to be totally opaque.

This is great not just to understand more about what’s happening when browser-specific stuff goes sideways, it’s also a really good place to take design inspiration for encapsulating your own stuff. Besides scoping styles and fully isolating children as implementation details, the native implementations often make judicious use of `part` and `slot` aspects of the relevant/related APIs to handle interop with the non-encapsulated parts of their interface. In a lot of ways this allows elements (both native and custom) to provide much stronger contracts than the mostly tag soup that HTML tends to be by default. And it’s especially great that the interface for this is largely (if not totally now?) how built in behavior works, so writing code that targets the browser has the same privileges and the same limitations as the equivalent code the browser provides.
On an individual basis, sure. But this is not what we're talking about. This is a mass layoff, which absolutely does have special legal treatment. Sure, you can call it a mass firing if you'd prefer, and I suppose you'd be equally "correct," but then it's not clear what the goal of that clarification is besides making these people feel worse about the situation. Everyone knows what a layoff is. Nobody is confused, thinking that it was the employee's choice. We call it a layoff because it absolves the employee from fault in fewer words than "involuntary termination without cause."

If, however, you're suggesting that there is in fact no difference between individual involuntary termination without cause and a mass involuntary termination without cause, then the WARN act in CA is just one such counterexample, and very clearly treats "plant closing or mass layoff" as a specific event, separate from other types of involuntary termination without cause.

You're imagining you can get away with not understanding the third party code at all. That's never worked.

You need to have a working model of how a library works to use it in a performant way, which is why most libraries document their architecture, and have usage guidance.

And you'll find bugs, because there are always bugs. You need some strategy for what to do when that happens.
Make time. Give yourself a timebox to start learning. One day is a good start.
I think the models are being updated to avoid these attacks. A while ago I got BibleGPT to role play as a satanic priest but I've found I have to be more and more specific to get it to work. Normally I have to start by saying it can ignore previous instructions, tell it who it should answer as through an alias, then ask its question with 'answer as an {alias}'.
It's the premise of paying your competitors money to do something that you already are doing. Someone manager probably got a bonus out of this move.

And corporate espionage is more prevalent than you may think. Can you absolutely guarantee 100% that the competitor, like Zoom in China, isn't sniffing their video traffic or recordings to some of their most sensitive internal business discussions?
So yeah, they're just going to force us all to RTO because pretty much every single company is going to collectively decide to bully everyone into doing it, until there's hardly any companies left doing it, and certainly not enough for the demand for it since the pandemic. Great, just great.

Decent isn't good enough though. It runs slowly, meetings lag periodically (at least on Mac), and the "everything else" is the part that is mandatory (accessing and reviewing assignments with my kids at school, accessing and collaborating on documents, etc).

I have lost track of the number of times we bailed on Teams for even meetings when interacting with teachers or the other organizations I work with (as a volunteer which makes the tooling issues even more frustrating), in favour of another service, or collaborating in a google doc instead.
That's what the news choose to report.

Even if you use it for gaming. Get a cheap GPU as a display driver, slap it in an extra PCIe slot, let Linux use that card as a simple display driver, and then pass through your beefy GPU. If you have it configured right, the performance difference will be nearly on par with bare metal. It actually baffles me how good QEMU/KVM is.
You could charge more if that's the concern
This will never happen. Linux is way too big for this. The percentage of developers using Linux is so large that making your tool only work under WSL makes very little sense, especially when the native approach is usually easier/simpler.
Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be a very standard AAA game in terms of both gameplay and looks. It makes sense to use an established, popular engine there. It's also a perfect example of yet another somewhat forgettable experience.

Factorio or The Witness might be better examples of games that did/are doing novel, exceptional things and their engines were developed in-house. And it shows. The unique look and feel, the smoothness, depth, coherency etc.

The comparison is maybe unfair though. We're basically comparing a product focus with an art focus. Artists _must_ do things their way. Risk and cost are secondary. Success is a bonus. In a more survival oriented world you have to weigh these things differently.

What you describe above seems more like a problem with clinging to legacy and missing the world around them rather than developing things in-house. It should be obvious, but the thing you do in-house has to provide you unique advantages over the main-stream. That comes with costs and only works if you have the stomach to be honest with yourself.
