Got it, thanks!

I don't know either. So far my experience with existing instances has been rather good but I didn't consciously test the use cases you mentioned. I've wanted to publish educational videos for a while but the idea of feeding the big nasty beast just breaks my heart.
I make my own digital synthesis algorithms using (relatively, w.r.t. the field) esoteric mathematics. [1]

At some point (e.g. once I obtain patents) I hope to commercialize the processes involved as software/hardware instruments, but for now it's solely for my own practice. [2]

Thank $DIVINITY for having manual download instructions to get at d3.min.js and plot.min.js without using yarn or npm. More libraries ought to have easy to use “offline” non-CDN, non-weird-tooling instructions right in the first doc page you come across…
I love it. Not only is this wholesome, it's pretty cool too
The Erosion of the Status of Software Developers as Professionals
Turning Windows into spyware is working out very financially for MS, so doing so makes him an excellent CEO. Your personal feelings about the company's products are irrelevant; only their financial performance is important.

If you don't like the product, you're free to not buy it, and use something else. There are many alternatives.
The author makes an interesting proposal regarding the new OAuth standard. Seems like a good idead AFAICT.
Yeah, the language and ideas are so cool they're nearly a whoosh for my old brain. But I will never understand why anyone would go out of their way to present a programming language while obscuring how you actually type it.

I had to copy-paste the "weird-looking play-symbol" (|>) into a text editor to see if it really was what I thought it was [1], after noticing that selecting it with the mouse split it in half. That is highly distracting from the message, at least to me.

[1]: It was.
I just had it pointed out to me that CMOV can be simulated with subtraction and bitwise operators.

Specifically, subtraction, arithmetic shift right, and AND. `((A-B) ASR 31) AND C`. Your result is C if `A - B < 0`, and your result is 0 if `A - B >= 0`.
I use Siri for laundry timers on Apple Watch. A very simple task you'd think, but it occasionally tells me that this doesn't work without my iPhone nearby, even though it's an activate LTE watch and there's even WIFI available.

Then I use Siri a lot with my HomePods for music. It works rather well, but when it fails it hurts. Sometimes a new song is playing that I like. So I say "Hey Siri add this song to my inbox playlist." Siri then occasionally tells me "OK, I'm playing some-other-song-you-didn't-ask-for." There is then no way to return back to the previous song or find out what it was.

I hate Siri when these things happen.
Testing and Benchmarking in Go
Hardly. He takes evidence from Facebook, Twitter and Uber. These are not small companies and they operate at vast scale, unlike the majority of companies who engage in software development.
If being branchless is important property of the algorithm then it is better to enforce it. Or at least test for it. If his GCC version will get an update and it will stop producing assembly that he wants no-one will ever know.

Which brings us back to regular discussion: C ( and C++ ) does not match hardware anymore. There is no real control over important properties of generated code. Programmers need tools to control what they write. Plug and pray compilation is not a solid engineering approach.
It also funnels all your nearby access point names to Google, and it does that for free!

Automatic warning system if I sit too long

I added a pressure sensor to my desk chair (just like the ones built into car seats) and soldered that to a Zigbee door sensor. I now know sitting/not sitting. I then set up push notifications to my watch and desktop if I sit more than one hour to get up and take a walk.
Furthermore I connected it to my hight adjustable desk that if it is in up-position and I sit down, it automatically lowers itself to the perfect sitting position. I had to disable the „if I get up, move the desk up“ function because it was just too much movement on the desk end.

I don’t wanna miss the too-long-sitting warning anymore and it is really useful.
I used to stay up all night to read, too late for my own good and my parents eventually started taking away every light source at 10pm or so (that's when I was less than 11, so it was really late enough).

I ended up collecting toys that glow in the dark, I would recharge them until 10 next to the light, and managed to read with them for a few minutes more (not much longer I guess). Under white bedsheets I would have enough light to be able to labouriously read sufficiently large-printed letters.

I guess my point is just that some kids absolutely do need some limits even for reading and other "good" activities, and they will use any means they can find to work around the limits you give them.
> IMO, cmov was far more valuable back when it was new, because branches were more expensive then.

Branches in general are cheaper now (since they are generally predicted better), but mispredicted branches are more expensive. They are similar in terms of cycles (IIRC Pentium 4 and Skylake are both typically around 20 cycles if you don't get second-order effects tacked on), but you generally get a lot more done in those cycles on a newer CPU, so they are much more important than they used to be. And a binary search will, almost by definition, tend to have 50% mispredicted branches on the compare (i.e., entirely unpredictable, so no better than random chance).
It's only cheap if you need those features!

Imagine if someone offered you gasoline for 50 cents a gallon, delivered directly to your car, but for personal use only and the minimum contract is 400 gallons a week.
Isn't that like storing a heap inside an array, with indices and values like this:

0: top of heap,
1: left of top,
2: right of top,
3: left of left of top

?
I'm sure shale has lost money for some Wall Street investors during the last 10-15 years, but I'd say that in the great scheme of things the newly-acquired resilience provided to the US economy and especially to the US consumers by the US not having to fight wars in the Middle East in order to get its oil has a been a net benefit to the US economy, and hence to Wall Street as a whole. That is those Wall Street investors took one for the team.

Ditto for the current geo-political thing where European companies are actively divesting from their home-markets and investing instead in the US, partly because energy (including natural gas) is cheaper in the United States.
Cool! I asked because there are many niche playlists on Spotify you can find for oldies, for example some very specific for the 60s, 50s, 40s, etc. Perhaps it could help her discover similar, but new, music.
The reality is that if people know there is an event coming up that they have some say in, they will tend to think about where to go or what to in the interim. It will probably result in a different decision than a truly spontaneous decision with no prior contemplation.

That's not a bad thing. It will probably tend to improve the outcome on average.

It's just not what the word spontaneously means in English. And you asked.

Living language evolves. It's not a big deal. But that's simply not the current meaning of that English word for the Anglosphere.
If they censor "misinformation" in one case, what's to stop them from censoring other "misinformation"?

Maybe the COVID lab leak theory is deemed misinformation and removed from your search result. But it's not 100% proven either way, who is to say that this is "misinformation"?

It's one thing to suggest an opinion that's just more popular, it's another to remove the competing opinions
I built a Markdown like text format for writing technical reports. I was fed up with Word and I wanted a plain text language that supports tables, footnotes, auto validated references to any part of the document, syntax highlighting of code blocks, comments, math equations, table of contents, etc... Unfortunately, existing solutions are all slow or written with some bizarre toolchains that are a pain to set up.

I wrote it from scratch in Go with very few dependencies, so I can compile it to a single binary that should work on all platforms. It outputs .html or .tex which is then compiled to a PDF via Xelatex. Since Latex is pain to deal with, I wanted to generate pdf directly, but life got in a way so... it's not exactly a finished project, but at least I enjoy using it.
The data set can be found here: https://github.com/alisawuffles/ambient

If you have access to some LLMs, it should be somewhat straight-forward to implement an alternative experimental design do test your hypothesis.
In that case, the docs don't really do justice to it. They still read as if many features don't exist yet.
I've seen a clever setup with the sensors in a dry container above the water tank. There is a hole in the bottom.
Before testing, a pump fills the container up with the tank water, flooding the sensor probes. When the pump stops, the water drains back out into the tank.
While it seems interesting it the videos aren't loading for me due to CORS issues.
That made my day!
Just a few weeks ago I was watching a 'Shrinking' episode on Apple TV where they said "Hey Siri play <some-song>" and then my HomePod saying "OK I'll play <some-song> for you" and me yelling back "Hey Siri stop! I'm watching TV".

Modern live...
People who aren't me get paid to do that kind of math when designing datacenters. Presumably there's a break-even point.
Yep, I am well aware of these specifics and workarounds, but in general case where is no general solution to the question asked here, for example [0].
And for big datasets with complex sorting it will take some effort to implement a seemingly simple feature.

Guess it is just one of the tradeoffs, as while some features Datomic has out of the box are hard to replicate in RDBMS-es, things like pagination which are often took for granted is a bit of work to do in Datomic. So it is something to keep in mind when considering the switch

OP seems from India and AFAIK its illegal to transmit on FM frequencies without a license. I understand it might be low powered but theres a chance of Police coming knocking on the door. Whats worse is it might interfere with emergency services. There is a reason we have spoctrum licences.
I too have an (private) RSS "laboratory" project!

It isn't the elegant machinery you describe here as I'm quite unfamiliar with the technique you describe.

If I'm actively using it the feed list grows to about 35-40 000 at which point I find as many new feeds as I lose old ones.

I maintain a dozen categories of badwords, if any of those are in the headline it will be removed.

With many subscriptions things look quite different, higher frequency publishers start dominating the top of the newest list. The faster they publish the higher the standards I hold them to.

What is quite amazing is that some really terrible news websites use long titles that are highly descriptive. I have a good few of those, they get to stay around because the badword filter purges so much I hardly ever see them. For every 2000 bad ones business insider has a great article. It's a terrible website but their use of descriptive words in article titles is the best in the world.

The key insight imho is that the internet is much more of an echo chamber than people think.

As soon as you get rid of Musk and a few hundred other people, a few hundred companies, a dozen countries and a few thousand other topics you are left with a world of infinite other subjects. People are writing about stuff no one else ever thought of.

If everyone in the world is reading and writing about FOO it is absolutely amazing to get rid of FOO. There is no such thing as an important football match. (joking sorry)

Everyone is praising normality but you should really wonder who creates these norms. If they are good of bad people is besides the point. Musk says 1 something interesting per day I'm sure. For every 100 000 topics inserted into the collective we chose 1 then, by the tens of millions, we talk about it. Every day is Musk day.

It doesn't matter how hard you resist participating, eventually you will learn that space x launched a rocket. There is no avoiding it.

Autonomy is something fucking amazing. I imagine millions of articles are published per day. 99% things said before. What part should I want to read? The 1% with the most traffic?

You should get on the train to nowhere just like everyone else - they say. Stop wandering around on your own, you should get on the train just like me!

I'm not usually telling anyone not to get on the train. If people want to discuss "rss is dead" for the ten thousandth time, let them. They think they chose the topic themselves.

There is 13 billion years of history, 6000 sq km of earth, 7.9 billion people alive, 100 billion dead, 8.7 million species of plants and animals, 350 thousand chemical compounds, 130 million books since the printing press, 100 billion stars in the milky way alone. What to spend my time on? The Trump investigations? Really?

I'm sorry for not being very technical.
That's the UX designer's trap.

Yes, in theory it would be best to have the perfect speed without intervention but there isn't one perfect speed for the conditions.

The speed the driver wants changes from driver to driver and might depend not just on how much rain is coming down but on the amount of traffic on the road, proximity to pedestrians, eye sight and time of day and any number of other factors.

It's always going to be better to have an automatic system that can be tweaked by the driver because everyone is different. The more easily the driver can do that without thinking the better.
Trying to get through hardware/software locks, content filters, firewalls, spyware etc. at school is usually the first experience kids have with "hacker" culture. For a lot of them (myself included) this eventually leads up to a real career in the tech industry. So godspeed, all you young rebels.
I wrote a silly Telegram bot for my group chats: https://github.com/database64128/CubicBot

It's mostly just some useless commands that say stupid things, and stats collection for earning "achievements" and displaying leaderboards.

The bot was written in C# and seriously over-engineered to be completely modular. Every command and stats collector can be turned on or off in config. A running instance with all features turned on is available as https://t.me/Cubic0Bot.
Aren't the devices ultimately paid by the parents anyway, though? I guess it depends on how the school is funded but around here it's only private schools that provide devices, so the funds come from the parents.
> but it would surprise me to see MS direct Rust resources specifically to it when they’ve already dedicated a lot of work towards Rust in VS Code.

Embrace, or are we up to Extend?

But seriously, don't MS already have form on the .Net LSP? I can remember the furore but not the details, something about pulling back some VSCode functionality for Visual Studio.
Don't listen to the naysayers. You're doing great! It's funny to see people chastising you for not having a balance, when the modern society is constantly pounding on you to read, exercise, meditate, write, play, travel, socialize, cook and what not. Is that balance? Trying to do hundred different things, jumping from one thing to another, and still feeling inadequate. It takes serious guts to commit yourself to one thing and I am sure you'll go very far few years from now.
This is a good example of a problem that's easy to talk about but difficult to fix:
"tell CPU to sleep!" versus this whole lengthy article.
Wondering now if the issues with Linux laptop sleep are related or have similarity.
> this neural representation of the body is sliced into three sections, one for the feet, another for the hands and a third for the mouth

This smells like Inverse Kinematics to me.

If correct, that'd mean we don't generally move joints manually. Rather, at the planning level the brain just says "put the hand at relative position X" and the motor cortex works backwards how to make it happen.

I looked for a definition of or example of youth in the article but it wasn't there. 'Youth' for the far right tends to mean 55.
Cool.

For the others: You don't even need a transmitter to do some experiments, you can use just one IO Pin for this:

Furthermore, you can use something like https://volumio.com/en/ build an RFID Box https://pilabor.com/projects/labelmaker/#products-to-build-t... (my daughter used this when she was 2 years old)
... no pic of revision in article
I didn't understand much of anything the author is saying. In particular:

"This all mirrors the gradual erosion of other highly skilled professions, in particular teaching."

"In this whole matter, we have three distinct groups of people who lie at the heart of it all: programmers, teachers, and children."

What a nice worldview regarding education.
This is really cool. Apple watch solves this problem though.
Because in the context of security you associate "branchless" with the time it takes is always the same regardless of the data/values, in order to mitigate a timing attack.

In this context, branchless means something different: the performance of the CPU is maximized for the given hardware, by not flushing the speculative execution of the CPU.
Well a hotel has never double booked me. A hotel in India however of Taj group (business class) took me to a much better class which was not from their group/chain in a Mercedes and put me up there for the same duration and added full meal plan from their side because my room had some problems and they were fully booked.

And booking.com? Heaven’s sake! Where do you even want me to start! First of all I can’t contact them right then. Nope I can’t! And if I do they fucking stonewall me and more than once just waved the T&C in my face. Once they fucking refused to refund because they said “I should take it with the hotel”

I mean the experience has been so shitty with TPAs that I don’t even want to look for deals now. I just call the hotel and book. They confirm and they double confirm and if anything goes wrong there’s literally a desk with more than one people 24x7. It’s just so much worth it.

Because everyone knows about that situation with contract positions. He did work at Google, and if he added that it was through a contractor when explaining that the salary was too low, people would not be confused.
I only wish it is was some clue what hardware is supported and how to get it booted, because 99% of ARM boxes will not work with this distro.
That's exactly the conundrum, and why birth rates are so low.

In the past, people were happy to (or did it because of social expectations or lack of contraceptives) "manage to raise kids".

Nowadays, people expect and even demand a "very comfortable life". The two aren't really compatible for most people except very high earners.
Yes, but AFAIK by default (Android) it will use the same random MAC address for each network. I think it is randomly generated based on the SSID, unless you tick the aforementioned option.

What kind of fingerprinting scheme? I have never seen this on any network.
I used to run a hackspace, so quite a lot! But in no particular order these are some of my favourites:

- A tracking airsoft turret that would point at and fire at movement. Was coded in Processing.

- A world clock of digital clocks that synced with NTP and could be set to many regions when working with different timezones.

- A QFH antenna for receiving live satellite images via SSTV from weather satellites

- A core xy assembly with a peristaltic pump that can be placed over a frying pan to make fun designs of pancakes

- A screenshot tool that uploaded to a private site with a short code URL for sharing screenshots without relying on ott SaaS products

You'd be better off with an 00's portable CD player that supports MP3 playback. Much easier to manage music on something that isn't a complete technological dead end.
This has been my position for a long time.
His near-contemporary von Moltke (the younger) once said, there are four kinds of officers:

Talentless and lazy. These will wash out during training.

Talentless and energetic. These will form the backbone of your officer corps.

Talented and lazy. These are destined for high command.

Talented and energetic. These are dangerous and much be watched very closely.
I know. It is illegal in most parts of the world. I'm taking over a commercial FM channel that my MIL won't listen to, and the transmitter has about a 20m radius.

Booking always tells me that are only a few rooms left in the city I am looking for and only one left at that price on the property I am looking on. Many times, the price on booking is higher than if I book directly from that hotel.

RTGs don't use things with 10,000 year half lives, because they need to have meaningful amounts of decay happening to make heat.

238Pu is pretty common, because it produces just alpha decay and has a half life of 87 years. Within 1000 years, the main remaining activity is 234U with a half life of 240,000 years: still an alpha emitter but much, much less active.
