> they show more feelings and are less "cold" when interacting with each other

May I speculate that asian cultures are simply more prone to that due to their languages and possibly culture?

Anime content may look stereotyped in some sense, but I've interacted with enough Japanese citizens to know that they emphasize a lot the emotional aspect in their verbal (through tones) and non-verbal communication.
> Very elegant, good job!

Thanks!

> Although I'm surprised there's no mention of REBOL or Red[1]. Very similar philosophy regarding constructs and keywords.

I am not too familiar with either language. It seems like we have very similar philosophical goals but with very different approaches. Red/REBOL are minimalistic but extensible with macros/homoiconicity, while qdbp is minimalistic but has a versatile object system and expressive syntax allowing many constructs to be built as libraries. I debated adding macros, but decided that qdbp was expressive enough as is and macros would probably double the complexity of the language.

Netflix has the crappiest content of all the major streaming services. The Originals all seem like they were picked by combining a random array of keywords.

They haven’t even had any major hit since Squid Game.

They need to take a leaf out of HBOs book and hire some top tier writers and give them all the freedom.
Agreed. Every time I installing a fresh new machine, I try it out again. It is always terrible.
> To succeed, programmers must reduce complex ideas to mental symbols that can be manipulated without articulation. It is hard to achieve this ability and painful to go in the reverse direction.

I wonder if I never achieved that ability, which is the reason that I pretty much always articulate coding ideas, in English, in my head. Maybe that's why I document so much better than other devs I've seen. ;p

It's sometimes obvious that it isn't the best approach to thinking through some things though. Cue paragraphs of explanation for a one line math formula.

I had an interesting consult with a major RF chip manufacturer about what it would take to bring this sort of capability in house. They were surprised that I had some pretty exact numbers, and I pointed out to them it had already been done and this was the project that came out of it. Sadly they never told me whether or not they built one for themselves.

One of the things about software radio that is similar to my experiences in robotics is that when things get "real" they get weird. In robotics it is noise in the sensors, environmental effects, Etc. In radios it is the way things reflect and refract different radio signals, as well as interference both intentional and unintentional. I built a phase based modulation scheme and it worked perfectly using a ADALM-PLUTO with its Tx connected to its Rx, it needed tweaking when I had it go between two PLUTOs (clock skew, timing differences). And it still doesn't work going through the air between a PLUTO and a LimeSDR :-). The "real world" is tough!
To echo the first post,

> wonder how much of the performance boost is the React to Lit transition itself, and how much of it is them re-architecting or re-writing parts of the frontend logic as they transition. Is Lit just out of the box faster than React?

React isn't inherently that bad. The team just seemed to have built an absurdly unperformamt system. The data architecture was trash. The app slowly loaded then spent multiple seconds loading a couple KB of text data. That wasn't a React problem at all!

Hopefully the web app becomes usable again. Hopefully they actually really build for high power users too; iirc the react app doesn't support categories at all, which is essential for me to navigate the hundreds of /r/'s I'm on.
You certainly could use it to register your domain, but then, arguably, the default "personal" email address is the one that isn't on your own domain, even if that's what we consider "personal" as you could forget to set automatic renewal, the payment method could fail, and somebody could register your domain and gain access to the accounts and setup catch-all email, and parse database leaks for @domain.suffix addresses.

I do understand where you're coming from though. I remember the days of setting up my first ever domain via post in the UK! I still have the letter lmao.
From the context laid in the article, the author meant the first open source project that succeeded without a push from a big private company.

Not saying anything about the factuality of that, just bringing the context into the thread as it’s being ignored. The author mentions Linux as an example in the blog, but says that they had a strong push from IBM.

Here’s the full quote:
> We’ve seen some free products gain tremendous traction, but only after help from big businesses. For example, Linux got a lot of support from IBM; Android is Google-owned, and VSCode is from Microsoft.
> I feel the real problem with Mastodon is that there's no way to reclaim an identity if a server goes down. The idea of a fediverse is to be robust against instances collapsing, but it seems the only way to move server is to leave a pointer on the old server.

CUV is a marketing designation.

It’s obvious why a person might want a shorter or narrower car - so the car can be driven comfortably on smaller roads, fit in smaller parking spaces or garages. I can’t really imagine why a person would choose to buy a car because it’s 56 rather than 63 inches tall. That’s still well shorter than the shortest garage door opening I’ve ever heard of. Btw, the Bolt is also 63 inches tall (same as the Mustang).

Grant Sanderson (the author) has repeatedly mentioned in his videos that he is very much _for_ active learning and doesn’t think passive viewing offers more than some insights and entertainment. He tirelessly asks his viewers to explore actively. If he weren’t the kindest and most earnest person on the internet, it would be jarring to hear him criticize so plainly what are admittedly the best videos out there.

I’m convinced that he would welcome and likely support any effort. I’m assuming he has something in mind or underworks, either building something himself or working with Brillant (the de-facto leader in active learning and a sponsor for all science education channels, including 3b1b).

There was an effort in that direction with last years’ _Summer of math_, where he asked students to make their own video.

Sabine Hossenfelder (physicist, of Science News fame) has made content for Brillant, branded under her name, so it could be an option to host it there. I suspect Grant having a website is a precursor to a homegrown option.

Either way, I’m assuming he has all the encouragement and the unlimited support of anyone here —— he certainly has mine.

Clicking on the words launches new tabs/windows into Google for translation. Very annoying.
sending me to Google as a search link is super annoying. Some words (e.g., war, Tag, um) are not only in German, so the translations can be confusing.

I'm starting to wonder if Netflix is maybe just trying harder in newer markets.

I cancelled my subscription out of frustration at the crappy content I saw all the time in the US app (and the terrible discovery too) -- but now I keep seeing ads for fairly compelling Asian shows and I might resubscribe "in" another country.

If you are throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, the stuff you get to throw might not be so good when you're competing with Apple, HBO, and all the rest. In a smaller market maybe the best people are still willing to be thrown at the Netflix Wall, so to speak.
This is the language of the universe.

Being really sick of a certain group of people just because they hold different beliefs than you is exactly what causes the division.

Whether or not France did or did not decarbonize deliberatly is secondary to the fact that they DID decarbonize.

On the other hand, when Germany set out to decarbonize, they SHOULD look have looked at historical data for what actually produced the desired outcome. But instead they chose to replace their nuclear power with wind power, while keeping fossil power the same.

True, but they are beautiful, in my opinion, and if you're going to have to spend some time working on a text it helps if the text is something that you're willing to spend time on. Also, although the "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" use old-fashioned language, it's an old-fashioned spoken German, which means that in some ways they're closer to modern colloquial German than a lot of modern prose. They won't suit everyone but I'd definitely recommend that anyone learning German give them a try.

Okay. But essentially every news article ever calls him German except this one case here that seems innocent and the much larger portion of people trying to scaremonger. We're not speaking in the abstract here or talking about historical practice. There's a reality where one way is, in practice, the obvious way most people go for this person we're talking about, and the other is not so obvious.

This is the umpteenth article I've seen on HN about the topic. It's getting repetitive. Maybe they are using ChatGTP for these articles!

Seriously tho, I'll believe it when I see it. The few times I used ChatGTP for code, it was extremely mediocre, unless I held its hand though every block of code. So what it boils down to, natural language has become a "programming language". Untill we get general purpose AI that can understand requirements/limitations, read AND write code, make sensible tests, anticipate security threats, maintain code and present results to stakeholders all on consumer HW, "coders" aren't going anywhere.

Edit:
After reading the article, the first few paragraphs of which are basically an advert for OpenAI, the Author seems to push an image of the "arrogant" unable to see the potential of AI. This just some weird marketing material aimed at execs looking to bolster future software resources.

In short, how good is ChatGTP at chess? A well structured, yet very complex game. Good, but not great, and I feel we will see the same with Code

My current biggest complaint is apps putting widgets in the title bar area. This would be less common if they hadn't made the title bar ridiculously huge in the first place. But now I find it hard to drag a window because first, I'm not sure where the title bar is. And worst, because some of those widgets will not drag the app if you click/drag them.

Second up is that tabs are little disconnected buttons rather than looking like a little tab attached to something. Other than these 2 things I would say gnome 4 is better than 3.
