I think the bigger issue is that most of what's presented as "3-D" in modern times is fake. Most people have seen exactly one movie that was shot and rendered in true 3-D: Avatar (well, that's two movies now).

Other than that, they may have seen a Pixar movie or Hugo in true 3-D. Or the Transformers one where they rampage through Chicago.

Otherwise, it has all been post-processed fake-3-D crap that unsurprisingly turned audiences off.

Also there's a misconception that 3-D is only good for spectacular movies. Hugo showed otherwise, and anyone who has experience taking 3-D pictures knows that the best ones are often indoor scenes of dinner tables or rooms or normal objects, or water.
Also the culture of those that stuck to Java because they didn't have the curiosity to learn anything else...
Well a go binary only runs on the platform it was compiled for. A jar file runs on any platform that has a working JVM. I.e. most commonly used operating systems and CPU architectures you can name.

Of course whether that matters to you is another thing. Most people package either of those up using docker and run them on generic linux hosts.
As for the JDKs, they are basically all just OpenJDK repackaged. Think of them more like debian’s chromium vs arch’s packaged chromium.

You can generally use any.
Thanks. Have to say cross dresser fits much better given the context. I can no longer edit my post and will have to take the heat instead. Lesson learned.
> What has a bigger carbon footprint: driving from London to Brighton or eating an eight ounce steak?

The answer the author expects is eating steak, because growing 1kg of beef makes the most carbon footprint in comparison to 1kg of other meats. But counting beef footprint in that way is not fair because most beef on the market had provided milk for some time before getting to market as meat.
I've had OK experiences with alibris. Based in UK though.
Eh, Java leaves quite a lot of performance on the table compared to C or Fortran. It's not as bad as Python, but if you really want to go fast, it's not quite able to compete with fine tuned native code. The Vector API might help a bit, but I don't think it will go all the way.
This is a good cause. They should help the legislators by coming up with a proposal on how to better phrase it. Not just state what’s wrong.

That would make it easier to get the proper provisions in place. Legislators (and their staff) are not usually the experts and rely on such advice.

Is there any evidence for this? Processed foods contain all kinds of stuff. But I would gather frying an unprocessed egg in a teflon pan already collects similar amount of PFAS as some processed food product.

On the plastic packaging front I think you're right, although my local store packages all the unprocessed produce in plastic as well, so the phthalates might leach into unprocessed produce the same.

Of course the skin of the produce being intact might block some of these chemicals from penetrating the food completely. Which can't be said for any processed food.

For me it's hard to tell how much PFAS and Phthalates are where. I'm not convinced eating unprocessed solves this.

What processed foods usually do cause, which provably increases obesity and illness is insulin spikes. A smoothie will easily dump plenty of sugar in your bloodstream, while eating whole fruit won't.

Another problem is the nutritional value of produce. Most produce is transported way before it's ripe, the soil it's growing in is already depleted, the types of produce that are available are selected for looks over nutritional value.

If i buy tomatoes in Germany they're usually tasteless and/or sour. If I want to make a good pasta sauce I have to buy canned tomatoes from Italy. However the can has a plastic liner. While the tomatoes are packages in plastic.

Just from the taste I would surmise that the tomatoes that were canned when ripe in Italy will be better for me, but they did touch the plastic all the time from transport, to storage, to mouth.
How do you define extrapolation at the scale LLMs operate? Even if you work with unseen-to-model software, it seems sufficient to "understand" the documentation and code examples to orient itself to helpful context.

That's why I'm scared. Once embedding whole codebases becomes a viability, I expect many opinions to change too

Triggered.

I spent so much time and effort comparing the various spaced repetition software before finally, grudgingly, choosing Anki over Mochi.

My rationale was that, while Mochi's UX is amazing, the algorithm matters. SuperMemo seems to justify this - SM18+ is a highly refined algorithm and 'seems' to provide much, much better performance than SM2/Anki.

So Mochi's incredibly basic 'engine' seems, by this logic, to be a pretty significant downside.

In the end what I care most about is memorization, and it seems like the best 'engine' for that is (Supermemo if you're on Windows, otherwise...) Anki + FSRS.

I'd appreciate being convinced I'm wrong - Using Mochi was a vastly more pleasant experience than using Anki.
Right. I agree. I meant writing is lossy for social interaction-related things. Dealing with other humans directly, trading resources, coexisting. We needed writing to scale communities up, but we also needed to make imperfect, explicit, formalized replicas of the interpersonal and social bits that were lost in this process.

As you note, writing also enabled us to deal with things like mathematics and physics - things that our natural language and modes of thinking are entirely ill-suited for. Here, writing isn't approximating some lost skill, but rather compensating for our default inability to think straight :). Which makes the trade-off even harder to evaluate - by scaling communities up, we've gained a lot more than just efficiency in food production and security. All our technology stems from it.
I use Sparkle on all the Mac apps I work on and always found the setup docs somewhat convoluted so happy to see this.

A couple years ago I built https://replay.software/bump to automate into the cloud the entire Sparkle process, and it's made it much more idiot-proof to create the changelog, do signing and release.
If you change the requirements for an insurance policy you attract a different risk pool. Just like health insurance companies offering gym membership to find healthier customers.
Cache is one thing, but also you don't need to repeatedly perform hash functions. Array index lookup is of course far faster than map lookup.
You can configure the GC to give the memory back to the OS after a short interval. We do this at FastComments with Shenandoah for our pubsub system.
I think half the value of a mindmap is going through the process to create it.

That said, it really depends a bit on what the mindmap is for. Their website lists several examples including what seems to be more technical documentation. For that sort of thing it'd probably be quite good.
It's definitely a factor, but it's not really enough. You can squeeze far more performance out of the hardware than idiomatic Java permits.
I have my complaints about Spring, but bad docs is definitely not among them. What do you consider a good docs?
If someone checked in that code, it would definitely fail my code review. I understand back in the day it was different, but today there should be a lot of named intermediates. Additionally, `long` and any such keywords should not make it into any commit unless the commit explains
1) why its needed and
2) how, with any standard conforming implementation, it couldnt possibly cause a bug.

As always in C programming, the bugs arise from people doing stuff that any sane guideline tells them to not do.
I can see how the apple silicon memory system can help with LLMs, but a couple points of reality check:

- such amounts of memory is locked behind very expensive sku which even most of mac userbase will not use ( <5% in the new purchases to be very conservative ).
- not too long ago apple would restrict the amount of ram in their system for their own reasoning (source: https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/28/apple-macbook-pro-16gb-ram-li...)
- just like mid 2010s gpus with 6-8 gb vram but with little to benefit from it, i don't see the ml accelerators/gpu in current models being capable enough to make the most of the memory available to it.
Reminds me of Eurythmics from back in the day when I attended a Rudolf Steiner school.
Alternative cultures have always had alternative niches of events but clubbing in the early days, at least in Europe, was often largely a culture of acceptance. Age, gender, attire, whatever... acceptance was high. As I started to age and dance music became more popular and more commercialised, the number of safe, relaxed and accepting cubs started to shrink as club culture became normal culture. There are still alternative club scenes out there, they are just more protective and secretive to stop the dilution of their culture.

Very subjective, but having Java syntax is an advantage compared to goddamn Go — like I have seen my fair share of languages and can generally “read” a new language’s code sample just fine, but go was honestly quite hard the first time with their stupid type, “receiver” etc notation. And I have honestly no problem with Haskell/Lisp/C/etc notation at allz
It's a lesson to the rest of us. Let it hurt
When talking about languages a lot of people talk about languages as if all programmers deal with is starting new projects from scratch and being able to use the latest version of the language, using current practices. For most programmers this isn't the case. Most programmers work on projects that were not started by them, and have been around for a while. Or software that is built on, or has to be closely integrated with, legacy code.

Based on your writing, you sound like either a junior engineer, or someone who has had very little responsibility for making resource allocation and strategic decisions.
JVM has many different GC implementations, some of them are optimized for low latency, and, in fact, come with guarantees.
Indeed, much cleaner to do `Array.from({length: 100}, (_,i) => fizzbuzz(i));`

Elon Musk describes Twitter takeover as 'painful' [video]
Back in the day, Dad ran a photocopier dealership.

He had a team of highly-paid salesmen (and they were pretty much all men) driving around the countryside convincing school principals and the like that they needed new photocopiers.

The profit margin on the machines was basically zero.

But the salespeople earned their keep, because every large photocopier sold also had a service contract that charged a fee for every copy made.

The game was up by the early 2000s when the stand-alone photocopier was replaced with networked laser printers, but while it lasted it paid for a lot of salespeople’s fancy cars, boats, and overseas holidays.

ChatGPT (and I assume other LLMs as well) uses an embeddings layer.

This is how it can translate concepts between domains. It is working with abstractions in a high dimensional semantic space.

Would love to see someone take this and use it to beat dark souls.
I agree, but from a game perspective I’d say it’s pretty odd that these types of events does not at least result in more alerting to the people concerned. I don’t know if emails are already sent out in this situation, but even if they are it would make sense to have push notifications via an app, or SMS notifications, or anything in addition.

Not because it’s the game designers “fault” but in cases of anything that can have a permanent impact on someone’s experience of a game without their knowledge it’s probably better to err on the side of caution.
I've been accused of cheating several times over the years. It's because I don't perform well in a classroom environment. I don't think on my feet very well, so I tend to sound a bit dumb. But if I take a problem away and study it intently, I can produce very high quality work.

I think there's a danger of teachers rating their cheat-detection ability too highly and catching people like myself in the crossfire.

Nintendo Switch Emulator

No it hasn't been shown time and time again. Look into the actual studies, and not just into the ones the trans lobby presents.

The issue here is manipulation of children. If children were fed tons of harmful pain blockers, there would be a "panic", too.
Raspberry Pi started out being for kids, schools and hobbyists.

During the chip shortage Eben Upton made the decision to focus all their manufacturing output on their business and industrial customers.

Upton justification was that those companies income depended on Raspberry Pi so that’s where they prioritized their supply.

Realistically those companies could have found other technology solutions, designed their systems around other tech. Upton could have given them notice to find other designs so Raspberry Pi could get back to kids and schools.

But that never happened.

So the realistic outcome is that for years now raspberry pi has been a dedicated supplier of industrial computing systems. Schools, kids and hobbyists are long forgotten.

Nothing has changed and raspberry pi continues to pretend it’s about school, kids and hobbyists but it’s just and industrial computer systems company.

Raspberry pi is a strange sort of ghost company. It exists, but you haven’t been able to buy their core products for many years now. The maintain a sort of phony facade continuing to market to community and schools and kids which is very strange since the community response is always “great but we can’t buy your stuff”.

The paper says:

> “The optical response of these artificially engineered nanostructures can be spectrally tuned across the entire visible spectrum to form a full-color gamut by controlling the gap plasmon dispersion via the geometrical parameters. In the proposed architecture, the subwavelength optical cavity ensures a large degree of angle insensitivity, while the stochastic nature of the self-assembled layer results in polarization independence and near 100% absorption at selected spectral bands.”

Do you really thing you would put aside your regular laptop to use an old terminal for writing?

I mean I am all for recycling but if you already own something that can do more I have very little faith that anyone would regularly fire up an old power hungry machine to do one single task unless it does it significantly better than the newer one or some kind of compatibility factor forces it like needing a particular port/interface unavailable on newer machines.
Thanks - that's really helpful.

Python/Perl/JS/Ruby aren’t shells so the busy sysadmin doesn’t need to ask themselves at what point they rewrite their script in a sane language and a Windows dev won’t typically use those languages, especially as you’d have to call the Win32 api for lots of behavior or bring in many external packages for things PowerShell includes for free.

In terms of ease of use PowerShell and ISE is available on every PC, is more consistent than Bash and more powerful than a user friendly shell like Fish. I don’t know how you get easier than Get-Foo, Set-Foo.

Bash doesn’t really offer anything out of the box except the ability to glue external commands together and most people use it because of its availability and portability rather than its virtues as a language. Zsh, Fish, Elvish, Xonsh haven’t managed to displace it and Xonsh is even written in Python.

The only thing I can think of that could make automation more friendly to nontechnical users is something like autohotkey to mimic manual interaction.

Here is my suggestion for buying a nice laptop: Take a old laptop that feels solid and has a keyboard, pointing device, and screen you like. Give it a fast NVME boot drive, and enough RAM.
I really doubt that vendor lock-in is the reason in their case. Heaps of other organisations - including many not particularly competent public sector ones - managed to do it. Back when everyone was doing it (15-20 years ago), there was a whole cottage industry of consulting firms specialising in Novell-to-Microsoft migrations. So long as you were willing to spend sufficient $$$, and had sufficient executive buy-in, you really couldn’t go wrong. I suspect in their case the real answer must be either (1) unwilling to spend enough to successfully pull it off; or (2) never made it a priority at a sufficiently senior level (or both)

Lotus Notes came with a comprehensive development environment for custom applications - much easier to get locked-in there. GroupWise was much more spartan in its feature set, just email and calendar. It had an API but few customers ever wrote code against it - it was primarily used by third-party vendors for integration with document management systems, anti-spam/anti-virus, email archival, eDiscovery, identity management, etc - back in the day, most of the big enterprise offerings in those spaces had plugins for GroupWise. But sooner or later they almost all had plugins for Exchange too - so very rarely would that be a blocker on migrating GroupWise to Exchange

And being hooked on Microsoft might not be the best place to be-but still better than stranded on a dying platform. At least Microsoft has a clear roadmap to move to cloud (if that’s what you want to do), By the time cloud became a thing, GroupWise’s remaining install base was too small to support that

Self-hosting is easier said than done. You can do it, but maintaining the infra, scaling, performance, security, updates, downtime, all of that is a _giant_ overhead. It's not against our business model for self-hosting to not work well. Everything we do is open-source and we don't "supplement" it with features from closed source code.

I was lamenting the use of "semaphore" but wikipedia supports them:

> Semaphore (lit. 'apparatus for signalling'; from Ancient Greek σῆμα (sêma) 'mark, sign, token', and Greek -φόρος (-phóros) 'bearer, carrier')[1] is the use of an apparatus to create a visual signal transmitted over distance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore

I was only familiar with:

> [A semaphore] is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple threads and avoid critical section problems in a concurrent system.
