Book curation, or for that matter, any trustworthy product curation, is highly valuable. You used to be able to ask a bookshop keeper for recommendations based on your preferences and reading history. However, most independent bookshops have now disappeared from the UK. If you only read one genre, such as romantic novels, recommendation engines will easily find your next good read. If your reading habits are more eclectic, this provides a way to look at curated content from your favourite storefronts.
As someone who gives up on ideas after a week of work ( not after 30 minutes ), I must say the New-Shiny-Idea-Monster is pretty kind for you ;-)

Maybe try to write down each of your ideas, give it a +1 vote each you think about it. After a month select the one that had the most votes and try to implement it. Writing to down the idea might be enough to give you strength to postpone executing it immediately.

This repository contains dumps of the monthly Chrome UX Report (CrUX) datasets.

Dumps are automatically generated by exporting URL and rank columns from the CrUX dataset via BigQuery, grouping URLs by rank, and storing the grouped URLs as XZ compressed archives. This repository is intended as a convenient alternative access, since exporting the data from Google BigQuery is both cumbersome and expensive.

The latest dataset (from March 2023) contains more than 18 million websites.

Note: There is no unique rank assigned to websites in CrUX datasets. Instead, they are grouped into buckets of similar ranks.
Thanks for the useful link. The introduction says "like Google", but the table does not list Google pricing for SSO.

Uh, the article also points out that the algorithm itself can't tell you anything definitive about how a given tweet will be ranked without the training data.
The average is probably more important than the extremes.
In my field (radiography) the range is large, and also fairly meaningless. In the small group I do pay sheets for and with the same qualification, the lowest paid is on approximately 1/6th that of the highest paid.
Is your contention that now you've been shown a more serious bug than you'd experienced previously that it's an indication that there were not similar or worse bugs in existence before the takeover?

Even if I myself hadn't experienced more serious bugs than those prior to the takeover, it'd still seem a stretch.
Why do we assume that Twitter, a global communications company which has had offices in Dubai, might not consider the nonstandard transliteration requirements of Arabic, the 4th largest language in the world, which would mean that they would now be only showing content that is explicitly non-Arabic to Arabic speakers?

We aren’t giving them enough credit here IMO!
This is a seriously cold take that’s infamously descended from Karl Popper’s argument that Marxism is unscientific. It’s obviously the case that Marxism is unscientific under Popper’s criterion of falsifiability for science, but

1) it’s contentious in Popper’s field itself on whether this criterion is right (it is generally accepted today that he is wrong) and

2) it’s contentious on whether Popper even understands Marx’s theory of history, which is where his criticism comes from, and

3) even if we decide by fiat that the predictions made by Marxism are unscientific, that does not preclude it from being a source of knowledge, or prevent Marxism from being imported as a normative political or ethical framework.

The whole “not true Marxism” thing usually comes from the mouths of people who’ve never read Marx, let alone explicitly non-Marxist thinkers who were influenced by Marx. In other words, the kinds of people who have never given this serious thought at all, but have likely watched some YouTube videos or read a couple articles. There is really no such thing as “true Marxism”. Marxism in practice has ranged from the USSR to Zapatista, which are very different from one another, but they are both no more “truly Marxist” than the other. The only person who could decide that is probably the guy himself, who is long dead.

>This never discourages the critical thinkers in the humanities, which leaves me unimpressed with the critical thinking skills of it.

If nuance and actual engagement with primary source material (as opposed to whatever it is you’re doing) does not count as “critical thinking”, then I strongly believe we cannot have any further discussion here.

Yes, it's just that some of us prefer to leverage our existing stack (ie. abstract and modularize with Django/Twig templates) than adding yet another layer to the lasagna. Nothing against SPA frameworks (ex: we do use Vue/Vuetify for some apps with complex user interface), but there are many cases where it's actually just bloat.
This should theoretically work with Linux then right?
Only anecdotal, but there may be cultural problems stemming from the flat structure at Valve that make organizing around products difficult. This video came out 4 years ago so I don't know if anything's changed since then, but it's one ex-employee's experience of their work culture at the time.

Basically he claims that even though there's a flat corporate structure within Valve, in practice an implicit management structure arose in which those with the most political clout controlled others without it. Plus they used stack ranking at the time.

Someone that wants to bring a gun with an intention to hurt people is going to bring one anyway. There's no stopping that.

By visibly signalling "no guns", you're just drawing attention to yourself.

Nobody was going to bring a gun to your event. Those kinds of people likely aren't interested in your event to begin with as it's a different demographic.

By advertising that guns aren't welcome, you just created drama and an intense desire for people that were never interested in the first place to suddenly find themselves involved and to want to deliberately break your rules.

You just created a situation.

In any case, I use Rust for most of my engineering work these days. I just want to have Rust conferences and meetups in my home town of Atlanta. I don't want drama.

Let's be honest here: vast majority of "talented and original creators" on social media are the ones seeking out, sharing, and geeking about "success scripts". And, of course, social media isn't unique here. This is a story as old as time: any activity that has a competitive element to it gets dominated by those "playing to win". It's true in every aspect of life. I feel the only way to avoid it is to suppress the entire competitive angle - which means removing the rewards altogether, or making them purely random, as any correlation between activity and reward will attract people willing to game the activity.
One of the biggest annoyances with Deno deploy/functions is that there is no way to store any data. This would be very useful to e.g. cache an auth token, store a key/value pair, etc. See also: https://github.com/denoland/deploy_feedback/issues/110

I can't hold conversations about drinking in a pub discussing girls for very long. They seem insignificant.

What we’ve learned so far from our technological temptations project
Recorded audio didn't replace the musicians creating music. It replaced the ones playing it - for example the pianists at the restaurants or the clubs.

In a modern Casablanca remake Bogart wouldn't say "Play it, Sam", he would just select a song from his Spotify playlist and hit play.

In a similar fashion, you don't need to hire a full band for a wedding. A single DJ will provide enough entertainment.

-This is very much my (anecdotal, but from several companies in the subsea business, ranging from huge multinationals to small fry almost mom-and-pop shops) experience, too: Service work is basically seen as a licence to print money.

Contract negotiations for newbuilds are cutthroat, the most important parameter being price, price and price. Hence margins are as you'd expect.

Except when it comes to service work, as service rates, parts cost &c are hardly ever touched upon in contracts, probably seeing as they will be relevant for the lifetime of the product, which may run for decades.

Hence the contract merely states that the supplier must _provide_ service and parts. Which we do. While we laugh all the way to the bank.

Of course, if you become too greedy, a customer is likely to start sourcing any parts not uniquely made by you elsewhere and try to have whoever they can find locally install them. Hence some sobriety is useful when determining service rates and parts markup, but the general principle is:

You do newbuilds so that you can get a large installed base to reap service income from. Newbuilds are sold at the slimmest of margins, sometimes even at a loss. You'll recoup it when they start using the gear, anyway.
It does take a special person, and a special frame of mind to even sit down and ask such a question. I guess 80% of the reward is simply asking the question. Having a system that actually answers it might only be worth 20%.

We’ve already seen cases here where, if a doctor had asked ChatGPT, they would’ve diagnosed the disease correctly. The problem wasn’t that the AI wasn’t good enough. The problem was that they never asked the question.

Then, again, having easy access to getting such questions answered – maybe that makes more people ask such questions?
> 123 was indeed ported to UNIX

> I’ve always felt success is a combination of hard work and luck, even for those “born into it”.

Defo, but I'd tweak that a little and say they come hand in hand. The luck comes from hard work, or at least just going for it, it doesn't just magically land in your lap.

I have a similar background; grew up poor in a rough area, low expectations from my teachers due to my ethnicity, and thanks to my parents, worked through all that to become what most would call successful. The breaks came from opportunities, which came from putting myself out there.

It's a mistake to think people are lucky, because it implies things just happen to you. Nobody has it easy. Even those who are apparently patently lucky in that they have rich parents, are not lucky. The only thing worse than not having anything, is having everything.
Use a hardware token, then. They are not particularily expensive, and should free you from needing to look at your personal phone at work...

Opus really is great. My first choice almost all the time.

Except... I wanted to stream music across the network to another computer with the lowest possible latency. I didn't care about the extra quality you get from lossless (opus sounded fine to me at 96kbps), but chose flac because it has almost no latency. Opus (and for that matter, all other codecs) added noticeable latency.

If you think carefully about how consensus between people is resolved, you'll realise an immutable append-only ledger makes that process harder, not easier.

The sad thing is that there is almost zero support for the preservation of manuscripts in India. There are still so many documents rotting in temple basements throughout the country. It is likely to be a source of major discovery—but it needs private money.

Edit: if you want to help, consider funding a PhD student in Sanskrit. It’s about $8k per year, matched by government support. While a Sanskrit PhD it might seem like a route to poverty, a modern approach would be highly technical — ie, about image processing, AI etc.

I remember liking read the drama about alliances and betrayals in EVE and even though I never played the game I always enjoyed reading about it. That is with the condition that everything is done in game, I'm not a fan of the whole social engineering outside the game to rip people off angle.

Now to me in mmo games EVE players are a BIG red flag as the vast majority of them from my experience will bring their EVE mindset to other games and try the same tactics. Before if someone wasn't happy with the guild they would just leave or form a competing guild but these people might engage with people more, even pretend to be real life friends in order to rise in the ranks and to ultimately steal everything or will try to cause people to turn on each other so that the guild breaks apart. Who wants to deal with that? its crazy.

The whole idea of acidic/basic foods is not grounded on the scientific meaning of basic/acidic.

Food considered to be "acidic" often has no particularly low pH, and vice versa. And most of all: you can't influence your body's pH (i.e. blood) by eating something specific. You would be dead immediately if this was possible.

The pH of your stomach content might vary if you just ate, but your body will create the acid by itself. As soon as you see food.

There might be still something to whole acidic/basic idea, but it has nothing to do with pH ;)

The catch here is that it may be impossible for the creators of simulations to deterministically define the rules of a simulation, especially considering the effect of time.

As an example, let's take the scenario of building a simulator. The simulation needs to have some internal state. This state will need to be stored either using some properties of matter or some kind of signal. The simulation will also need an energy source.

As soon as the stability of matter or the power supply is perturbed, due to reasons like cosmic radiation or the fact that the power source cannot sustain its output, randomness from the creator's "world" will start seeping into the simulation. The interference may affect the internal state and then you may have unpredicted rules in your simulation.

The counterpoint can be that you use error correction algorithms or you insulate the simulation in such a way that interference does not affect it for a reasonable time-frame or in a manner that is very hard to observe for simulated "agents".

But with this in mind, we can imagine some very crafty agents who somehow stumbled upon these weird phenomena. Suddenly we see our agents building complex contraptions to study the emergent phenomena. Who's to say that the interference and thus these phenomena do not contain information about their creator's world? In the end, they could understand more rules than the simulation was programmed with, if that is true.

Maybe in that case you shut down the simulation. Or maybe you observe the simulation to learn more about your own world.
