I have to use the laptop that my company gave me. I can't even use the OS I want, I'm stuck with Windows. On top of that, the VPN, antivirus and other garbage running in the background make the laptop really slow. It sometimes take 20 min for it to properly boot and be in a usable state.
The worst version bump ever seen was Perl 6 which literally became another language (Raku).
It's a matter of compatibility, e.g. you're not going to start measuring length in meters when everyone else in your country is using feet. That's why I said UTC is a time zone, nobody uses it outside of the UTC time zone, therefore nobody uses it outside of the UTC time zone.
It shows the sad state of professional consideration in this thread, that I had to scroll down so far to see someone mention job-prospect aspect of tech-stack choices.
In Europe they mostly solved that through regulation, ebikes can't provide power if you're not actively pedalling, they're caped to 25kph (~15mph) and can't exceed 250w, if they go faster or provide power by another mean they're considered like 50cc mopped or motorcycles depending on the speed/power which means you need an insurance and a license plate

F-droid updates haven't changed the ui or noticeable fixed ui bugs in years. There was one revamp, right? But it feels like nothing came after that.

This is completely false. Both use images for the board and pieces, so you can play just fine.

Both do use icon fonts for some of their additional controls on the right hand side, but they all have tooltips so that you can identify them even without the icons. Chess.com uses a bad icon font that uses non-PUA code points (e.g. V = New Game, , = Move Back, … = Move Forward, g = Show Hint), so those ones will be broken. lichess.org uses PUA code points (except for “½” for “Offer draw”), so I think that those icons would even be loaded if you weren’t like me in just blocking web fonts outright.

Most lab-leak discussions I come across focus on the WIV. And many sources mention a lab leak is inconsistent with the geographical evidence, e.g. the Guardian recently:

> Wray’s public endorsement of the lab leak theory runs counter to the conclusions of several prominent scientific studies, as well as the assessments of some other US intelligence agencies. [...] “Two prior studies – one of which I co-authored – demonstrate clearly using multiple lines of evidence that the pandemic emerged into the human population at least twice over an approximately two-week period at or immediately upstream of Huanan market in association with the live animal trade,” Angie Rasmussen, a professor with the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, told the Guardian this week.

As a non-American, the dumbest change that affects me daily, is the renaming of the master branch. Master means teacher in romance languages and its variations are part of daily usage. In git there's no "slave" part so it always meant "main" and not "owner"

It affects me daily because "look on master" became "look on the main branch" for no advantage to absolutely anyone.
I'm probably be downvoted to death for that but, while I have nothing against transgenderism - do whatever you want people, I don't care - it baffles me that the subject takes so much space in the political discourse. It's like 1.6% of the population by applying the broadest critieria available.

Sometimes I wonder if some interests are not all too happy to see people fight about who they might have to share a public bathroom one day in their entire life rather than issues actually affecting them.

What about https://www.chimera-ui.com/docs/components, made on top of ui from shadcn?
I’ve used submodules (a lot), in the past, but I hate them.

I feel as if they are a “half-baked” solution. In order to be useful, they’d need to be much more tightly integrated into Git. Instead, they are sort of “duct taped” to the outside.

But they are an ironclad way to ensure that you have an exact version of a foreign repo. It’s actually a pain stay at the head.

I like using package managers, but they can be quite dangerous, so I tend to write my own packages.

What was really cool, and possibly the only good thing that VSS ever did, was the ability to create “aggregate symbolic repos.” I think I remember how it worked (been a long time):

You could define a repo that was composed of “symlinks” to files from various other repos. Submitting a change into the repo would submit that change into the portion of the other repo.

Perforce had the concept of workspaces. I don’t think you could integrate other repos into them, but you could define a workspace to be a “mask” over your repo, so it would only integrate the files you want. That could be useful to me, as my testing code usually dwarfs my implementation code. Many of my packages[0] consist of a single Swift file, but the test harness might be an entire app.

> If you break your legs and spend a few months in a wheelchair, you might not feel legitimate to use the term "disabled" in comparison to someone who has never been able to walk and suffers more from it.

I would say "I am hungry" even if I have food in the fridge, I do not need to compare myself to poor starving people and decide to say "I am currently hungry" or "I am in a situation of hunger"

> Not letting that disabilty define you as a person. I am not disabled, I am Sunderw, a complicated person with many different aspects.

also I am still a complicated person and hungry does not define my personality.

> Including more person means reducing stigma and reducing the gap between abled/disabled.

Actually, taking too many steps to think of how to describe a person with a certain medical situation already increases the stigma, I would feel more bad if people try to avoid calling me "sick" so I don't feel bad about being sick, this is even worse.

Imagine calling a midget "A person with less height" or some nonsense like that.

The continuing to dissent aspect and persisting to use the “nice” words is dark to me. It represents to me the inescapable self referential pathway of all altruistic behaviors.

That which makes cooperation and altruism possible also causes some strange glitches that sometimes reveals the motivating emotions are always self referential.

I think Peter Singer challenged a lot of deluded, 'magical' thinking in the 1970s when he wrote in Animal Liberation about realizing that animals are not mere tools for human use, to be exploited in any and every possible way, but fellow beings. We know this about dogs and cats, but ignore it in the case of cows, sheep, ocean life, and, for example, the billions of living baby chickens we grind in "macerators" every year.[0] He is a philosopher who believes in living things.

I just dont see the difference. Why would a feeling which is 'situationally inappropriate' be "valid" ? And why would you want to absolutely defend that it should be ?

My point is that feelings are sometimes misguided and reason should be used to guide them. Sometimes it's the opposite: reason and logical arguments tells you something but your "gut feeling" tells you HARD NO and you should probably follow that gut feelings.

Sometimes it's not an easy process to know the balance, other times it's just lack of experience / education like in cases it've cited and some more experienced person can help you if they have lived something similar.

But completely forbidding yourself to assess / say, that someone's feeling is misguided makes no sense at all to me and seem to be some ideological bullshit that is really helping absolutely no one on the long term.
Well, people also used to date casually, and (god forbid) have sex, and even go like this for months on end, knowing each other first, before getting all serious about a relationship and asking "where are we" and "what are we looking for here". And they might not even reach that later stage, and just move on and try again.

Today, it seems that going into it with an agenda from the first day/days doesn't seem unreasonable to you...

And that's unreasonable.

Can someone who knows more about the American legal system explain this to me? Why is this possible? I assumed that when you're sentenced you get taken to jail pretty much immediately.

(Yes, I'm sure the short answer is just "because she has lots of money", but what are the details? What exactly did she spend it on to buy an extra 5 months of freedom?)
Start with the human condition, and work your way up to value from there. What IS value, anyway?
I disagree.

From reading the article, neither the author nor Bennett is arguing that these objects are actually the mechanism or cause to which these events occur.

To rephrase their underlying worldview, Bennett seems to find intellectual and epistemic merit - or at least interest - in exploring the notion that some objects have properties which make them more or less likely to initiate or augment human, natural or other actions, on or around those objects.

From my reading of the article, this isn't someone trying to explain causal relationships but rather someone highlighting the benefits of different modalities of thought, as they relate to the intellectual and cognitive experience of the reader.
Unknown-dose "LSD" in the worst possible set/setting?

Do you really need a warning?

It might not have been proper LSD in the first place. There is synthetic LSA on the market, which gives LSD-type effects for 20-hours instead of the 8-hours of LSD, which has dramatically worse effects on both dopamine and dorepinephrine because of the long stimulation. The result is very bad trips with serious anxiety and paranoia.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

I have extensive experience in language modelling and the newest NLP technologies such as transformers and GPT. I have worked on web-scale language models for Microsoft for Windows and the search engine Bing. I also enjoyed doing research on NLP techniques and building machine learning pipelines based on transformers at Huawei, where I filed 3 NLP patents. Moreover, I have introduced NLP techniques to startups including GPT text summarization, question generation, and question answering. At the moment, I am working on fine tuning large language models to compete in the Bittensor network https://bittensor.com/. I also have 7 AWS certifications.

I am looking for projects that involve challenging and innovative machine learning and NLP tasks. I can help you with:

- Building your machine learning MVP
- Doing data analyses
- Building machine learning pipelines
- Building fully functional machine learning products (frontend and backend)
- Architecting infrastructure
- Building teams of data scientists and machine learning engineers

I think in Europe they are defined as max of 50cc and top speed of 45. So slightly under urban speed limit. Not that lower limits aren't coming more common.
You're using them wrong. I've been using them for years and I have no issues with them, however I treat them as a read-only dependency.

They have their use and it's not that hard once you figure out the exact sequence of git commands to use (but that applies to all of git)
They sleep a lot but you don't know when. You can't plan anything around it.

No. What GP is saying is merely that being capable of childbearing obviously requires female biological sex. But the implication doesn't have to go in the opposite direction for it to be true.

Another example: the only vertebrates that can fly are birds(ignoring squirrels and weird fish). That's not equivalent to saying that the ostrich is not a bird.

Flying vertebrate => bird

Bird =/> flying vertebrate

I think that's not the only reason, sometimes not a reason at all.

Instead, 1, sometimes, someone is looking to make a career, or get a job, make money. And then, in identity politics, they might see an opportunity. Career, status, money then being a goal, and any division a side effect.

And, 2, I'm not saying that identity politics is or would always be bad or anything like that. So many unfairness in the world, to try to correct.

I switched from VSCode to Doom Emacs with very little of my own customization (doing TS, Scala, Rust mostly) a few years ago. There is not one thing of VSCode that I miss, and I enjoy some of the most powerful features like wgrep & all, and a great vim emulation layer (the one I had in VSCode sucked).
Its a complex system but I wouldnt say its processing anything.

I suppose for what I'm calling processing there needs to be some order. Things that do processing (our cells, processors, etc) use energy to keep some order in the system (keep lower entropy than their surroundings by using energy from those surroundings). Whereas the river is just at maximum disorder relative to its surroundings the whole time.

You could make a water computer where water flows through pipes and collects in cups and then the weight of the cups implements AND gates and OR gates and so on. But in that case the order is provided by the pipework and the energy input is whatever gets the water to the top of the system (and maintains the pipework from being worn away over time)
It doesn't "decide" to do anything.

Discounting the utility of describing an unspeakably great swarth of jostling particles with one word is foolish though.

It's effective to discuss large segments of reality without having to know the position and momentum etc of every particle, assuming those segments have somewhat well-defined and known behaviour.

> If your time is so limited, eliminating toil seems essential.

The counter point to this is usually:

What exactly is your toil as a professional software developer (or associated profession) that is eliminated with a "better"[1] editor in 2023?

Refactoring is more powerful with an IDE, for mainstream languages. For non-mainstream languages 95% of what Emacs enables can be done using multi-cursors and a macro language built in to the editor, and we're in 2023. Those kinds of editors are a dime a dozen :-)

Editing data dumps or whatever is probably better with an advanced editor (I generally use Vim for that). But it's such a rare occurrence.

Writing code is super easy in an IDE.

Most of my toil is unnecessary meetings, unnecessary reporting, unnecessary social stuff. Emacs can't help with any of that.

* * *

[1] To note, "better" is strictly a claim. I'm quite sure there's no peer reviewed study that can prove conclusively that Emacs/Vim users are more productive than non-Emacs/Vim users, just due to their usage of Emacs/Vim.
>without having to really ever reciprocate like with a pesky autonomous human full of their own desires and interests....

And this is exactly the point. In the two articles I linked to above [about the man who "married" an anime character and the woman who "married" her dog] both of them say, in effect that this is their ideal partner as it will never leave them or disagree with them.

So, these "relationships" are entered into by people who, for whatever reason, have been damaged by previous relationships, or are unable to form relationships with [to use your word] "autonomous" other people. They want to be in a relationship but one with a safety net, where it's guaranteed the other party can never leave you, never disagree with you, never want anytihng other than what you want.

Thinking about it, it's probably better for these people to be in a relationship with a cartoon, a pet, a shitty chatbot, or their pop-up toaster, than a real person. Because one of the fundamental aspects of being in a relationship with a real person is that they are allowed to walk out the door, they are allowed to disagree with you and they are allowed to believe in different things than you. If you can't cope with any of that and you are in a relationship with a real person, then it's going to be a pretty toxic one and possibly a violent and controlling one too.
Off topic but have you noticed a trend in modern movies that it's harder to hear dialogue?

This is a pet peeve of mine, as someone who does CG art among other things. The popular narrative is that CGI always can be spotted and it always looks bad when in fact it's the other way around. Bad looking things are attributed to CGI regardless, and good looking things are assumed to be practical.
That's nice and all, but isn't that a huge waste of time/money/resources? What is the advantage of doing it this way over just creating a wallpaper digitally?
I think that people feel increasingly alienated. They feel bad so they search for their special "community". In doing that they alienate themselves further from average person. They create terminology and adopt language for their niche with clear disregard of any real people and issues.
