You can disable auto-updates with eg. "snap refresh --hold firefox". See: https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date#heading--...

Though not taking security updates for Firefox seems like a very dangerous thing to do.

That sounds like it was because there were 10 engineers assigned to a way too small task, not becomes teams are ineffective.
Business isn't rational. They won't think "if we don't have someone do the rote stuff in 20 years, we will have no architects."

All they think is "right now it's cheaper so we'll do that".
Then of course that's better! But still not good enough.

If I fix a bug or desire some new functionality and implement it for myself, am I free if I cannot legally share it with my neighbors? Certainly not.

Also depending on exactly how they release the source, you may still not know that's what the blob is actually doing. I suspect many vendors, even if forced somehow to provide source, would try to not allow (or make very annoying) building it or signing it. And if you can't build it yourself, or if you can but can't run it and the build isn't bit-perfect reproducible, then you can't know the blob is actually the output of building the source.

You could decompile but let's be real, if security researchers looked at Heartbleed not once but twice, specifically in the context of it being a bug, and both times asking if it's a security vulnerability, and said no - then I am not going to believe that a human inspecting decompiled machine code is going to be very good at finding well-hidden malware in blobs.
I know - those ones don’t suffer from the same problem, typically.
No, it’s more so because Adam and Steve are super cool and involved frontend dudes.

Steve was the personal designer for Taylor Otwell and Laravel long before Tailwind. Steve has created all the most recent Laravel designs for many years.

Prior to starting Tailwind with Adam, Steve wrote up a bunch of fronted design standards and published a book called Refactoring UI. In that time frame, he also created a bunch of free open sourced sets of SVG icons called HeroIcons. HeroIcons were a direct replacement and improvement over Font Awesome.

Somewhere in that timeline, Adam and Steve put everything they had created together into a single project, and that was called Tailwind CSS.

Being on the ground floor of Laravel and the open source community totally helped with their initial exposure. All the things I mentioned above were also popular topics here on HN a year before Tailwind was created.

Ehem:
https://old.reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/wygfds/full_tr...

EndeavorOS is basically vanilla arch with an installer, I just posted their thread because they were open and transparent about the issue while the arch sub did very little.

When I raised this with an arch dev, I was told they purposely shipped grub's master branch (not release) because they didn't feel like backporting a security fix, and if I couldn't fix a grub issue with no working computer I probably didn't have any business using arch.

Ok then. Went and downloaded popOS from a friends house and haven't touched arch since.
Thanks beyang, that’s a clear answer, I appreciate
oh really? wow, bad chatGPT! I didn't know that.
Flash did end up influencing the animations of CSS. I'm not sure about the other technologies you mentioned, but I think the delineation here may be that the idea was the future, not the tech.
IANAL...but for pacemakers, I'd be tempted to mail the details to the legal department(s) of the manufacturer(s). Registered mail.

Imagine a hypothetical world where lab-grown meat and real meat taste the same and cost the same (externalities and animal cruelty accounted for)

Which is better? On the one hand, there is no death and killing with lab grown meat. On the other hand, there is less life as well. Is it better for all those cows and chickens to never live at all than live and be killed for food? I'm not sure.

I imagine that a web service could be specified in one file. At the top, a description of the service, including the language it is to be written in and how it will be built and deployed. Then an outline of the endpoints and their functionality.

A builder bot could then ask a series of questions and get permissions such as “can we use X package?”, and then update the specification before performing the build.

Autoencoders are insightful because they move the concept of "intermediate representations" to the foreground. This perspective is useful for understanding the compositional architectures of NNs at any scale.

NNs can be generally described as "complicated feature engineering stacks followed by a relatively simple regression". This description captures the information processing and compression perspectives on NNs, which is realized by autoencoders in a laboratory-ideal way.
XeTeX allows me to use the system’s Truetype/Opentype fonts and Unicode without any of pdfTeX/Metafont voodoo necessary in previous times, and it did this flawlessly for more than ten years for me. LuaTeX took ages to finally get a 1.0 version, so there was at least a period of 8 to 10 years where XeTeX was simply the best and only solution.

Good point, I should have remembered these are actually immutable arrays of char (with a bonus 0 byte at the end).

The main thrust of my point though is that this type is terrible - even before it decays, and you don't get a std::string_view which is what you probably actually ought to get in modern software.
>So how hard or how many math domains should one learn to be able to understand all major CS theory?

Understand "all major CS theory"? ...you need all the math

However, you'll never understand "all major CS theory" (maybe Donald Knuth does...but no one else does, that's for sure) - so focus on what you want to know/do, then study the math that's related to it (at least enough to be passingly conversant)

Best way to figure out the math you need to know is to survey the math requirements of several CS degree programs ...people far smarter than you have been working on this far longer than you've been alive - and their work is show in the degree requirements :)
Hanlon's Razor...Max Tegmark has been saying for a long time that his biggest concern would be black box models we don't understand gaining more intelligence without a solid understand about how they work ...this is long before ChatGPT4 existed so I don't believe it has anything to do with control and keeping people out of anything.

Even Sam Altman has said similar things recently that he believes we're probably going to have to slow down and think about what we're doing.

That is bassically the same here (usa), although we typically include major appliances and cabinets.

However, when houses are put up for sale, they are typically "staged", where the seller will rent furnishings to make it look more homely.

Apartments are more hit and miss. The bigger complexes will often have a show apartment they keep furnished for toors, and may often used a furnished one for their pictures.

Obviously the way you furnish a house for show is not the same way you would to live in it. But it seems like a reasonable approximation of the 'average' sensabilities of the market.
I feel like this is less of a relevant announcement for Disney than for Meta.
Fashion used to have an important social and cultural function as it provided signals and markers for group alignment in society. As these kept changing periodically, this also gave a chance for realignment and reconsideration. (Compare this to the increasingly-caught-in-the-bubble phenomenon that we experience nowadays.)

E.g., just compare major fashion trends in the 1970s (from mini to maxi, to bell-bottoms, to pants and tube socks & disco attire, to clogs and para jackets, to college look vs. punk) to the major fashion trends of the last decade (slim fit). This variation from season to season, while, of course, invented as a vehicle for marketing, actually provided a vehicle for repositioning in a varying landscape of tribal subcultures that was typical, then.
Criticizing governments and politicians is Musk's favorite hobby. Find me one negative thing he has ever said or tweeted about the CCP.

VR going mainstream is difficult until they can get people to take anti-nausea meds with them.

Yeah, Arch is definitely geared toward a more technically proficient user base. Their users, myself included, are typically willing to wrestle with changes like that. Recovering a system that won’t boot is almost a rite of passage in the community, since there’s an expectation that you probably built up the entire boot process by yourself, so you ought to know what it’s doing. For some users, that’s simply not true.

For future reference, if you ever decide to switch back, breaking changes or ones which require manual intervention are usually announced on archlinux.org.
My evidence, and I suppose I could've phrased it better in the preceding comment, is the analog clocks being mostly replaced with digital ones.
And it's not anytime within the next 30 days, it's a time in the next 30 days where it being closed coincides with snaps auto-updates.
I didn't forget that. Isn't that another strike against populism? Or is the idea here that the change in diet will still succeed due to nefarious brainwashing, implying that the majority of the people will succumb, but that this is contrary to the REAL will of the people? The will of the majority of the people should be listened to now because they are clearly not brainwashed when they have an idea I agree with, but will be at some indeterminate point in the future when it's something I don't like?

That seems ideologically inconsistent but terribly convenient.
I imagine at least 10 different teams are all building this. It's a no brainer and pretty easy to implement. I implemented the same thing in Elixir/Phoenix.

It's not "deterioration" just change. Deterioration implies deviation from a natural, ideal, or perfect state, which languages simply do not have. This belief that the language is in decline and losing some ineffable beauty or value is older than english, in fact some of our oldest historical documents at all are versions of this lament. The language we speak now is the result of millennia of such "deterioration."

Those language-control bodies that some countries have are somewhat a relic of before we had our current understanding of the mechanics of language use and how languages change over time. They can also be understood as a leftover tool from the european bootstrapping-nationstates era.

Either way, those bodies may (but it's debatable) have some influence on the rate the language change, or what specific changes occur. But nowhere near as much as they purport to, maybe close to none at all.
I like the security features of Snaps would accept some trade-offs for that benefit, but Canonical started shipping a Snap of a browser with known issues like breaking media keys.

Security improvements are welcome, but that was a feature that seemed important and reasonable to keep working. (Maybe it works now, but based on that experience, I gave up on Snaps until I heard more positive reports).
I do the same, pin snap. For Firefox I just download it, it lets me update it from its Help menu then offers to restart itself. I don't use Chromium, use Chrome. It does seem like Canonical is trying to push away all but corporate users, perhaps even all Desktop users.
I agree wholeheartedly about design tokens. I use this in every project, always. But I only need custom properties, nothing else. And I get all the advantages you're describing.

And I'd say that striping the cascade, removing selection and specificity and implementing new ways to do the same things (ie: peer-[:nth-of-type(3)_&]:block) is indeed reinventing our use of CSS.

As far as I know the 10x number was made popular by Fred Brooks, not a meme, and it has pretty real applications:

> Programming managers have long recognized wide productivity variations between good programmers and poor ones. But the actual measured magnitudes have astounded all of us. In one of their studies, Sackman, Erikson, and Grant were measuring perfor-
mances of a group of experienced programmers. Within just this group the ratios between best and worst performances averaged
about 10:1 on productivity measurements and an amazing 5:1 on program speed and space measurements! In short the $20,000/year programmer may well be 10 times as productive as the
$10,000/year one.

He goes on to explain that because the primary cost in software development is the overhead of coordinating minds, a company is far better off paying for just a few really good programmers than they are 10 times that number of mediocre ones. Whether or not there's such a thing as a 10x programmer in isolation, this seems pretty self-evident and valuable to keep in mind.

I can hardly trust my own body, let alone the body of a different animal. I doubt that we'll see much of mad cow disease in lab meat on shelves.

wrt supply chains:

> Specifically, the livestock sector and its related industries are among the most impacted sectors. This is mainly ascribed to the limitations of animal movement and the decrease of production inputs' availability.

> The availability of animals', feed ingredients, either through foraging or concentrate ingredients, was an additional challenge confronting the sustainability of the livestock supply chain. Data presented in our overview illustrated that one of the livestock supply chain's major disruptors was the inability of farmers to access animal feed.

The real benefit of TW comes from the configuration. You never need to put actual values into your class names like you would with inline styles. For example, let's say you have a specific background color. You define it in the TW configuration, and TW generates a specific class for that color. So, instead of doing `style: background-color: "#123456"` a thousand times, you do `class="bg-my-color"`, and if you want to change what `bg-color` is you just change it in one place.
