> They are retroactively altering/censoring the books that people have already purchased, and offering the original uncensored version as a new purchase.

But that wasn't what was said, unless it was a typo.

> > If it was purely money they could retroactively censor existing books without offering the original version at all

Implying that they wouldn't offer the originals if it was all about money. That was what I meant by "that doesn't make sense". It sounds like you agree so it was just miscommunication.

> People who bought these books as originally written are now going to be forced to pay more money in order to revert their purchases to the original, uncorrupted version.

You originally said it would cost the publishers money, which is what I questioned. But again, I think we agree and this is just a language barrier.

That’s not rock bottom. Shooting up drugs in the street is rock bottom.
Your language is the first that I know of that compiles to Rust. Can you talk about that? Does the generated code have to pass the borrow checker or did you design around it?
Why be mean for? I open myself up and share something vulnerably here, and how do you respond? You try to invalidate it. That's not very nice.

I have my experience of it. That yours differs, why do you need to invalidate mine? Why can't we both exist? No I think it is maybe your world view that needs to expand, son, and by not being inclusive of mine, but instead trying to shoot it down you are displaying the very same inflexibility that I identified which you simultaneously pretend does not exist! Ha!! :) ;p xx ;p

Think about that next time before you're "blunt". A blunt instrument has limited use....even for artists! ;p :)
As someone who has "strictified" a lot of code bases after the fact, starting out with `strict` is way less friction than adding it later on.

Especially `strictNullChecks`. It's a massive headache to deal with that later on.

I tried this as well for about 8 months and ended up going back to an external monitor setup. Why? Health reasons. The ergonomics of using a laptop everyday is detrimental to your posture. Being hunched over and looking down at a laptop all day is not healthy. You can still have bad posture with an external monitor but now these risks are avoidable if you are disciplined enough. With a laptop you really have no choice but to have poor posture.
But last I checked there's Julia for Python? So you could get the best of both world (nice syntax of Python and the speed of Julia).
I am 100% aboard the single screen, single fullscreen app, almost exclusively keyboard work with lots of x-tabbing.

Polemical pug hit piece. Valve/Steam tackled the harder problem of getting the hw/sw network console business environment with the capital barely available to Gabe Newell as compared to the elephant in the room, Microsoft. The horse-trading hovering over Take-Two Interactive in connection to the successful formula at Rockstar Games speaks louder of capitalism not doing much with what it has.
Sometimes I get the impression it’s not worth being a home owner in todays economy.
Imagine, for example, opening your favorite brand’s website and being presented with a miniature virtual storefront. You could look at their most popular products as if you were standing on a sidewalk peering into their shop.

I imagined this as instructed as was simultaneously bored and depressed.

Why does it always have to be about shopping.
I dare say it also looks like antitrust with teeth, abandoning the morally and intellectually bankrupt Chicago school approach (basically, "antitrust only needs to consider harm in the form of increased prices to the consumer"), and reversing the burden of proof on mergers (at least over a certain size), so that instead of having to prove harm to block them, the companies have to prove a genuine benefit in order to merge.

Now, granted, growth in the size of a company is only one form of growth, and this wouldn't be sufficient to stop the "ever-increasing growth at all costs" mindset that's infected our corporate culture, but it is a necessary step.

This concern is why ESG investing has picked up, though personally I'd call that more of an opportunistic way to convince people they can have their cake and eat it too (and take a nice fat cut of the profit in the meantime), given how much of this trend has been characterized by gaming scores, rather than a renaissance of people actually digging into the companies they invest in to ensure their money is doing good in the world.

I don't have a great solution to apply to the masses. Personally I enjoy researching my investments, but am well aware people don't all feel this way.

Not investing for the future, however, feels like rather than finding a solution, it is just the "throwing one's hands up in the air and giving up" option. And the results are, well, what you might expect.

Perhaps the best solution is for people to find what DOES interest them to invest in. The options aren't limited to company stocks, or real estate, debt, or even commodities. A larger and larger portion of the market has been opening up to retail investors with increasingly minimal costs. Perhaps no solace to the 50+ crowd that hasn't started yet, but at least hope for younger generations to have better options to avoid the same fate.
If you deliver physical documents, don’t forget that printers have yellow dots to track the originating printer. Nowadays it’s certainly possible to track the credit card that purchased them.
At least you have the option, since there are armv7 widevine binaries. Can't run those on M1.

I am gladful some people are more skeptical than others, so I can be less skeptical most of them time.
The total energy cost of producing and using the Tesla Model S Long Range battery pack for example, including battery production, lithium extraction, transportation, the energy cost of building the Gigafactory, battery transportation, battery recycling, diesel fuel required to generate electricity to charge the battery, and the environmental costs of battery disposal and battery fires, is equivalent to about 3,088,431 barrels of oil.

I think you may have misrepresented my message. I understand that not everything is happiness and joy in a craft, you need to eat frogs and force yourself through boring but necessary tasks. That, believe me, I understood. The whole discipline beats motivation but the problem is that why. You can force yourself to developp that grit/self-discipline but it can only last so long (in my case a few years) if at the end you find no joy on what you are doing. Grit is like hope in the desert, but you cannot live on hope alone, you also need oasis for the water inbetween.

>The idea that you have passionate about something in order to do it and to do it well.
Idk why but in my limited student experience, this is true. The classmates with the best code, most experience and projects were the ones who were actually passionate. There is basically a 2-5 point difference between the people who wanted to be in the classes and the people who dragged themselves every morning.

I thank you for the time you took to write the message, and I see where you are coming from but it doesn't lead me to anywhere I didn't think before.
She's not on my team and doesn't need to be a professional text editor. She can be very bad at editing text, and still be productive at what she needs to do. And so are most people, even in IT.

I also had to work with a mostly Java shop (a branch within HP) where I was on the ops team. A significant portion of my day was spent walking between cubicles and "fixing" Maven builds. I wasn't really fixing the builds though. Every time it was because another Java dummy couldn't figure out how to do something trivial in Intellij or Eclipse and were blaming the ops for that.

No matter how much I despise Intellij products, the average Java programmer at the time seem to be incapable to internalize even the bare minimum these editors require to function. I call this "the race to the bottom", a situation where technology encourages its users to be dumber, where, in turn, the dumber users make technology worse by requesting dumb features. And this is how Intellij is. It tries to cushion the fall, to put a fence around every useful but potentially "dangerous" operation by limiting what users can do to a fixed number of choices, where free-form input would've been appropriate, by creating layers of renaming of basic stuff the users need to work with in a failed attempt to "make it easier to understand", by hiding things that it perceives as being "out of scope", giving no easy way to reveal the hidden features.

So, yeah, these programmers were a liability to the company. So much so they needed to payroll a dedicated person to do their work for them. And, of course, a dedicated person could only service single Java dummy at a time, while the rest were taking a break downstairs playing table tennis or socializing in cafeteria. Good times!
that's awesome thanks! Do you know of any archive site that stored some of the old 2000's blogs?
I agree, I dislike sharing any data with Facebook/WhatsApp but I shouldn't require children to spend $1000 to be allowed to communicate.

XMPP would be preferred, but isn't quite as simple as iMessage/WhatsApp at the moment, and Matrix isn't the same. I do see that some of the XMPP clients are getting pretty slick and I could probably move the family to something like that soon enough.
Yes and no. It's on a stand, but it doesn't seem to fulfill the requirements for adjustability. It's not height adjustable and the tilt may be insufficient, at least one way, but excellent the other.
Thank you, I will look into this clue.
3M Barrels of Oil per EV Battery
Is that true? Genuinely asking. Because all of the "conventional wisdom" I've picked up is that ingesting it works great for stomach ailments like ulcers with a small amount of 'fixing' throughout the rest of the body. But if you sprained your knee, you're better off injecting it at the knee site than eating it. People and probable placebo seem to think injecting really targets it.

Is subcutaneous injection really that untargeted? And does the highly interested patient have the background to know how to inject it properly, if there really is a way to target it?

Xor is also equivalent to adding without propagating the carry.

Ob010 + 0b011 = 0b101 (carry is propagated to the 3rd bit)
0b010 ^ 0b011 = 0b001 (same result with no carry)

I doubt tunable hardware will ever be integrated into phones, given certification regulations,but there are apps for tuning RTL-SDR over USB OTG from Android.

I don't really know why an RPi was used in this example as opposed to a cheap used laptop that already has screen, battery and decent USB.

> How exactly is equilibrium different from stagnation?

It's a matter of perspective.

If one sees one's own growth as an axiomatic good, then of course equilibrium will look like stagnation and the first step to death.

If, instead, one sees oneself as one part of a greater whole, all of which deserves consideration and has a place, equilibrium starts to look like a natural goal and a place of respect for everyone.

And your argument that we would throw away new technologies because they disrupt an equilibrium is a strawman; no one is suggesting that. "Technological progress" and "unconstrained growth" are not synonymous.

Let me turn this around on you and ask you this:

What is the ultimate goal of your unending growth?
Infestation is a strong term. It seems like every few years there's a combination of factors that somehow create a bumper crop of bunnies in my yard. We'll go from normally seeing a few early morning or evening to having 4-5 bunnies hopping around all the time. Which is pretty cool, all things considered as long as you treat your property for ticks and whatnot. By the next year, though, it'd be back to just a few bunnies. Maybe there's not nearly enough food to support the extra bunnies through the winter.

I saw a bald eagle over my house for the first time the other day (NE US). I wonder if the bunny situation will change with more predators.
Well you know, I cannot even do that with a real hammer and nail, just ask my thumb.
Sure, but the real value here is the 65B. Can you have multiple GPUs on colab?
My fear is that Java is now only popular in a professional setting, and is no longer of interest in the broader community. This is sad to me because I personally love the features that you all have been delivering in recent releases, and am very excited about the ones coming down the pike.

A few circumstantial examples. If you look at the Matrix SDKs and implementations (https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now/), Java's presence is sorely lacking. The initial server implementation was written in Python of all things and the rewrite in Go. This is baffling as a Java implementation seems like a no-brainer to me.

In addition to working for a variety of corporations, I have also done some work for academic institutions, specifically in the library space. They have a lot of old tools from the 2000-2010ish range that are predominantly in Java. However, now, these institutions are primarily using Python and Javascript, and are even struggling to find Java developers to maintain their old infrastructure.

The BoI notes also felt cheaper to me than the English ones, so maybe they look counterfeit to the untrained eye. Maybe it's good as they function as a sort of local scrip and serve there purpose of recirculating money locally, etc., but they will be converted on the other side of the sea.

It turns goods into luxury items though. Today, you can still get manually crafted scissors, but they'll be expensive and not something most people can afford. Sure, not 100% of blacksmiths were replaced, but 99.9% of them. That's still a tough prospect if you see your job on the shortlist for getting replaced and you're not part of the 0.01% in that job today.

Can we find a way to tell apart human art from generated art? I'm not so sure in the long run. Today, we have a lot of pointers and with enough focus experts can tell them apart. But they can't in passing, and an average person probably can't without being told what exactly to look for and advanced tools to check those. We're only a few years into it though, so I find it hard to believe that we'll be able to tell whether a digital picture was produced with a digital camera or generated by an AI. You can probably make it much more expensive to fake it (e.g. film yourself with 3 different cameras which are positioned differently, so AI would need to also fake a multi-perspective video reliably), and maybe that'll be the thing (like "organic" diamonds vs industrially produced ones), but I'm not sure if you can put the cat back into the bag.

I find the topic of peptides interesting. Recently, I tried Kambo (a frog toxin that is applied to burns in your skin by a shaman, a traditional remedy in the Amazon). It led to an instant remission of my autoimmune condition. Research about how it works is scarce, but the general information I could find is that it's related to the peptides contained in the Kambo. I may start looking into peptide injections, since the science on those seems a little more mature.
The worse rate is understandable as the "resell value" is lower for a Scottish issued note than one issued by the BoE.

I get it that you work on one thing at a time and you use programs with keyboard shortcuts like spectacle and vimium etc. But, still I can't help but wonder how does your IDE look? I am guessing you have a code editor (generally with a left/right/bottom panes with file explorer, repl, terminal, other tools etc), add a browser with a documentation page open and your real estate is too little and involves a lot of switching / scrolling, very easily due to all the keyboard shortcuts but its switching/scrolling none the less. Maybe you detach all these into their own windows and use different workspaces in your tiling manager, but that's again a lot of switching to even use a repl.

I am happy that your setup works for you, but a bigger monitor and/or maybe even one extra monitor will just help reduce a lot of that switching/scrolling.
I’m too late to update my own comment, but I now suspect BigFloat(π, precision=20000000) may allocate a Bigfloat with precision of two million digits and then store the constant π which has much lower precision in it.

What value does that print?
It was also a huge pain if my experiences (early-mid 2000s) with Fedora are any indicator. Red Hat and co. were great because, given enough effort, they could be tuned into unshakable systems for any purpose. And you paid for that with your time and energy (or a support contract with Red Hat itself) and occasional frustration at things that didn't work like any other distribution.
The web is plenty immersive when there aren’t 84738473 ads and user hostile UX layouts and popups and shifting layouts and all the other things everyone ought to already know are bad.
Distances on road signs are still in miles and speed limits are still in mph, so familiarity with miles reflects their official status, not just British weirdness/quaintness.

Just a sample size of 1, but my HP ProBook 430 G3 (6th gen i5) could comfortably hit 8 hours of battery life, or beyond 10 on light tasks - before the battery went kaput unfortunately. However it was the “large battery” variant with I think a 40 or 50ish Wh capacity on a 13” screen.
Peptides in this context are functional not dietary. When you eat protein it gets broken down and rebuilt into numerous proteins or used for energy. In this context they are taking a peptide which is just a short amino acid chain but it has very specific functional characteristics. Normally peptides don't make it past the digestive tract which would ruin their specific functional characteristics so, like insulin which is also a peptide, they must be injected to actually work

I'm in South Africa and the country isn't exactly ready for electric cars yet, so I went for a pragmatic choice instead; Toyota Land Cruiser with huge petrol engine. Yes, it costs tons to fill up, but it's not a car you just toss away as it lasts forever. There's also something to be said about longevity when considering the environment.
