Ubuntu is still a better experience than Debian on the desktop, many many packages are built and tested for Ubuntu and not debian.

Ubuntu also as better hardware integration ( drivers ) and more modern kernels. AS a matter of fact it has many kernel for deferent usage.

People use Ubuntu because it works just fine out of the box, you don't need to install a third party non free drivers to get your wifi card to work. I still have nightmare with debian because they used to not ship proprietary drivers so you would have to cary a USB stick in the datacenter with drivers on it to make network cards working.
The problem with Django is all the things that make it Django. Frankly, I'd build my own Flask from scratch, but I can't find a good excuse.

With that being said, I hadn't thought much about "before Flask". I very well might feel differently if I had been coding then.
IMO it would make more sense to incentivize more manufacturers to establish themselves locally, promoting competition. Intel is simply acting in its own self-interest like any other business would.
I was curious what the answer to this was, so I went to their Chrome extension page[0] and the icon + UI is prominently displayed in the 5th image. They also mention email (albeit you may be able to argue it's too vague) in the very first image. They also mention the feature in the extension's description with a brief "what is it?" blurb. You do have to expand the overview section to see it, but I think that's on Google's UI and not on any individual extension/developer being shady (it's been so long since I've installed a new extension, but a quick glance around the store makes it seem like everybody with a "long" description has stuff hidden like they do).

A text cannot be lacking such a signature, that makes no sense.

“Might be”? “In the style of…” functionality in LLMs is a direct outgrowth of stylometry. That’s where the measures which allow it to work come from.

Python 3.11.0rc1, Django 4.1.7. I think ingenieroariel also has a binary available on the website.

It's a proof-of-concept (because I wrote it just a few hours back), but it shows that we could have the latest version of Python+Django packaged in a single-file executable. Someone could definitely improve upon the build process (like it was done for Python3.6) and add more packages if they wanted.

Something that I've noticed, though I can't say whether it's a cause or an effect (or neither) is that today's kids (including my own to some extent) are much more busy than I ever was.

I never had homework in grade school, and if I was doing organized activities, they were pretty minimal (one afternoon per week of cello lessons, and a half hour a day of practicing). Today, kids have homework starting in the early grades, and multiple extracurriculars that involve being driven somewhere. There's no time to go outside.

Also, we're not in a baby boom, so the houses with kids are more scattered. When I was a kid, there were a couple dozen other kids up and down the street, so we weren't ever playing outside alone. And we were looking out for one another, even if not precisely in the way that our parents hoped.

It's also exhausting for the parents.

I am puzzled here. Why is the FBI expecting the free market to solve the problem created by the free market? Are these scams somehow legal? If the scam is illegal, and search engines are promoting the scams at the top of search rankings, doesn't that make the search engine an accomplice in the scam?

If I invited crack dealers to deal out of my house for a small cut of the proceeds, I'm pretty sure I go to jail when they're caught. That's essentially what search engines are doing here.

You have no interest it seems in considering it, but your analogy is flawed. The only institution which _could_ conceivably quarter its soldiers in your house under the law is the US government, as it would be illegal for McDonalds to send its soldiers into your or my house even if there were no 3rd amendment. Hence, the 3rd amendment restricting the government's right to quarter soldiers and not mentioning any other institutions.

This applies to due process as well, as the only organization or institution capable of levying criminal punishment is the US government, and thus, the only relevant subject of the limitations outlined in those amendments is also the US government.

" think "the [BSD] socket API" was designed for a thousand or so peers "

I think a more accurate framing is that in the 80s POSIX was designed for a thousand or so peers, and later versions have expanded and scaled accordingly. Literally every interface has these types of growth patterns so this shouldn't be a surprise.

But your point, which is the same point I made below, is that POSIX is but one of several interfaces on a modern system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34905405

As I noted below, we have semi-standardized extensions from POSIX. We don't really need POSIX to codify a new event system because we have libev/libevent. This is another point the parent article gets wrong when it says we need to get POSIX "off our necks." Nowhere does POSIX compliance stand in the way of using libev, or even using mremap(). I don't agree with your conclusion around mremap() above but it doesn't matter because the salient point is that mremap() works absolutely fine within the paradigm offered by mmap() and POSIX. libev works just fine within the paradigm offered by the file/socket api.

"But none of those "local file databases" can handle hundreds of thousands of clients"

This is absolutely not true. Those systems work just fine with even a million reader threads.

Maybe you mean the databases don't perform well under parallel writes, but this has nothing to do with the shared memory interface (how could it?). It's purely due to the design and intent of each system as primarily read-focused systems. mmap will work just as well as any other shared memory interface when it comes to reading and writing. Pick nearly any write-performant database - it's using mmap.

"Evolving APIs are evidence that people are unhappy with these interfaces"

Not quite. The actual truth is that POSIX plays very well with extensions to its interfaces and this is yet another dimension in which the above article is demonstrated to be very, very silly.
Yeah, that's the problem. If the song is known either because its a previously published song or because it repeats then the bits should be the same every time the song is played. If you are adding extra data with steganography then you don't want it easy to detect because someone could make a steganography detector by testing if the same song's data seems to vary for no reason.

I guess you could also build an auto-auto-tune or auto-remix solution so the songs always have justifiable variation without needing fully generated music.

Deepmind is an LLM with a fact verifier attached, though the fact verifier is actually a ranked list of code compile times. Obviously this is a narrow subset of specific problems, but one could expand that library of problems over time.
Reminds me of joining a lobby of the original Modern Warfare 2 only to find that there was a cheater, but a generous cheater. All players were flying around in noclip mode, armed with pistols that shot giant explosive rounds. It was a blast.

If there are gonna be cheaters, I'd rather they do silly shit like that than just be using wallhacks, radar, or aimbots.
The switch got hacked pretty badly so their platform is no longer secure. After doing some searching the xbox series and PS5 still look to be secure. While the PS5 has a jailbreak for early version I doubt it can play online games with such an old firmware.

As a long time Linux user I have mixed feelings about that.

I'm not really against it, but I don't use KDE or Gnome (or any of the others in your list) and it concerns me that people might start thinking of those as "being Linux". I'd hate to see a future where "We support Linux" means KDE or Gnome.

On the other hand, I have to admit I'm not really sure what that would mean. I guess only having "Flatpak" as an option would be a bummer, but I don't see that happening with the distros I use.

The last project in CL I made for other people to use (several years ago now) included a Dockerfile people seemed to appreciate it and nobody seemed to dismiss it.

> Are there any serious attempts at reworking the Common Lisp standard for more modern problems?

There are many extensions for more modern problems either as a library or in individualCL implementations. Where the extensions are highly overlapping, there is a library that unifies the interface (usually named "trivial-FOO"). There are exactly zero paying customers that need to wait for a feature to be in the standard for them to adopt that feature, so there is zero impetus to update the standard.

When I spilled a drink on my Framework and ordered a new keyboard, I discovered it had 3 mis-aligned screws in the keyboard from the factory. Like either a hole was punched wrong or a screw was rammed in off center. The holes and threads are all messed up and impossible to tighen those screws.

3 out of 60 or more.

Never knew there was anything wrong from the outside but I can't imagine wouldn't have worked loose over more time if I hadn't happened to have a reason to uncover them in the first year.

I love that I was able to replace a keyboard, but 3 out of 60 is a pretty bad rate.
Airbnb - almost all roles are remote-first and will continue to be remote-first indefinitely.

Not an economist either so I might be using incorrect terminology, but let me try to explain.

Specifically I’m interested in whether everyone is getting wealthier or if some groups are effectively getting poorer. (Ex. If everyone is net wealthier then the narrative of wealth distribution is kind of misleading).

As I understand it a common way to do a “fair” comparison would be to use inflation adjusted dollars. In that case we can simply compare the adjusted dollars and see.

However, even adjusted dollars don’t always tell the full story. It doesn’t help if everyone is twice as wealthy if housing costs are four times as expensive.

So, it would be interesting to compare for example, household wealth by percentiles against housing costs by percentiles.

The ingenuity of financial activity (especially with regard to fraud) never ceases to amaze me. While I can't come up with a wash trading practice that's net positive a lot of research indicates plenty of people do[0]. The provided reference talks about unregulated CEXs but one can only assume given the chains themselves have no regulation whatsoever I can only assume the practice is rampant there as well.

I just can't understand where the monetary volume you speak of comes from when a tiny number of merchants, platforms, etc accept cryptocurrency payments and (again) the number of transactions, addresses, etc just don't line up. As one example Venmo processes similar monetary volume with similar fees[1]. The difference is they have roughly 78 million users and every time I open the app I'm greeted with a running list of all of the people I know sharing their various (and copious) often daily transactions. The numbers for Cash App and others are similar. ~1B$ of daily volume for 500k - 1m users vs (assuming crypto address = user, which it does not) vs ~1B$ of daily volume for 78 million users... Yeah, something is going on with crypto.

Thank you for elaborating on your use case as an example of "shuffling bits around". Of course I'm not familiar with the situation but again (speaking to my lack of imagination/creativity) I can't imagine undergoing what ends up being a complex 12 step process involving multiple entities to obtain what is essentially a short term loan. Interesting and cool you pulled it off but not exactly something I see the masses being able to accomplish.

> which doesn't apply here but was very thoughtfully designed

There are many people (and quite a bit of case law) who believe the constitution governs everyone in every situation. If it’s for the people and by the people, then it’s to protect “the people” from government (which is “the people”). This includes private entities. Particularly, private entities receiving public funds (which Stanford is).

Anyway, in this particular case, free speech laws pretty much dictate you can’t seek reprisal for what people read.
IDK. Seems like usual social media that it’s all about who you follow.
I’m sometimes shocked at how much my wife relies on and accomplishes through her Pixel 3. She uses a computer only when she wants a bigger screen - photo editing or watching a show. Everything else she uses her phone. Is very surprising to me. I feel like I can barely do anything on my phone.
Apple silicon has unified memory, the GPU has access to the entire 32/64/96/128GB of RAM. It's part of the appeal.

Long time DDG user here. I really like the search and the android privacy app. I just wanted to add my vote to what others have said.

You have a brand that requires trust. You've built up that trust slowly, and it could be destroyed so easily. To me this injection crosses a line of interfering with content that isn't yours. You are trusted to have access to this content, not to change/add to it. I get that it's not quite the same as 3rd party ads, etc. But it's an untrustworthy thing to have done.

As a happy long time user I'm currently still willing to give some benefit of the doubt about this being a misstep, and I'm hoping to see it corrected shortly.

But I think the value of the trust you've built up shouldn't be understated. It won't take many scandals like this and once the trust fades you'll never get it back. The bigger issue to address is not just how to fix this, but also how to fix the broken decision making process that allowed this to happen at all.

Someone else has said about having a core set of values against which everything is reviewed. How about an ethics committee of sorts to uphold those values. A group of beta tester users who don't just test things work, but also give feedback on whether new changes are aligned with your brand and core user base.

I think what the parent meant by dedicated servers is letting the players runs the game servers on their own computers and then letting those players manage the servers they have created, so the game dev wouldn't have to do the moderation there.
