Interesting - having read the book several times I don't get the reference to the dinner scene; will have to look it up.

The parts which bothered me were the Zendaya slow-mo flash-forwards being too long and too frequent with no substance, and Lady Jessica crying far more than reasonable for the character I remember.
I agree, and you’re absolutely right about about the word Jihad. I think one of the more sad elements of this is that the Fremen were basically the only good guys in the story (in the first book at least).

My own personal speculation is that the provocative nature of the word Jihad wasn’t actually the main controversy they were trying to avoid. I think the pagan nature of the Fremen, and the depiction of Paul as the Mahdi would be far more objectionable to a Muslim audience. But in any case it shows a lack of courage from the filmmakers. Rather disappointing imo.
I think this would be unnecessary and false compliance. These attempts will fail like in the past because of technical difficulties. This isn't the first DNS block and there is no form of "small" censorship. It is pretty much either/or.

I believe there is a huge cost for politicians trying to introduce such policies and failing. They mostly do vanish with few exceptions. There will be new ones, but there probably still is a learning curve.
I think it is on the LOTR level of translating the source material - the jom gabar scene is about as perfect as it could be. There is also a lot of confidence given to the audience, i.e. Paul's visions are shown but not explained, so seeing multiple possible futures is definitely confusing, but it mirrors Paul's confusion as he grapples with his ability.

I have worked for +20 years for small companies. A "small" here in colombia is smaller than in US.

You could say that are the targets for "not care for performance"... and they ARE. *A LOT*.

One of my main competitive advantages? Speed. I work on niches were my app has 2/3 reports and my competitors +300, and the users use my app instead. Like, for example, a query instead of using +20 minutes work in 6 sec(1).

Mind you: That was before I do Rust, and start pay more care about performance. Long ago!

I think it's a great advice. I'd also add that reading a book from cover to cover without a clear application of the knowledge can be wasteful in terms of time and retention, and might lead to feeling motivated to finish the book as opposed to understanding it.

With a surface gravity of 0.003 m/s, even slight twitches by an astronaut would be enough to launch off the surface.

The flip side of that is a sample-return mission (as with OSIRIS-REx) could work with a similar mechanism and manuvering. Though obviously more delta-V is required to get into and get out of Mars orbit.
This is what I despise so much about modern sensibilities when it comes to being offended. Somehow we skipped right pass the intended meaning of a piece of art or language, and went right to "does this contain any imagery or words on our 'disallow' list". It's like the dumbest spam filter of all time.

The complete sociological ban on the utterance of any words that even sound like "the actual N word" is so bizarre to me. As a kid in the early 80s it was very clear and unambiguous to me that actually calling someone the N-word was extremely taboo and racist. But it wasn't like using the phrase in a sentence such as "Calling someone the <N word> is extremely taboo and racist" was considered offensive. When I first heard about a story where a college professor was suspended for giving a lesson in Chinese where the Chinese word just happened to sound like the N word [1], I was convinced it was either an Onion article, or an example of the right trying to make a caricature of anything that smelled of "wokeness". But alas, it was actually real, and just as absurd as I originally thought.

There are DVD rips of each LaserDisc, not sure if that torrent is still in circulation, but the video quality isn't as good as Harmy's.
Sure, but without VC money the product space wouldn't exist at all, at least not as a free service.

Who doesn't want free storage? No one, that's who.

See also: everything from Sourceforge to Docker Hub. Very few can complete the transition into a paid service.

The important distinction is whether you sell a product or a service. Dropbox is clearly a service, but it's easy to envision a product instead.

Had the user paid for storage up front, the product would be incentivized to support multiple backends to be able to compete on cost. But it doesn't, because it is the storage service that is the actual thing being sold.
While that c code is at least unchanging on my disk and reviewable, it's still a lot to ask that I compile and run special software to read a particular type of webpage. Mastadon's design is terrible in the sense that it perfectly captures how bad twitter was/is without any of the community mitigations of the disaster in accesibility.

I don't want to run an activitypub server. I just want text and image websites to actually have text and images. This is not too much to ask for a community protocol. Before mastadon v3 it was an option (and the default option).
I appreciate this too. Comically, I used it for many years before finally signing up so I could get voting and saving and whatnot.

I think it’s become more precious to me as one of the few remnants of what really excited me about the internet many years ago and is my last active community as all the others have fallen away - slashdot, kuro5hin, plastic, netslaves, fuckedcompany, digg, fark, Reddit and probably a few others I forget.
It’s history, it’s like cutting off films like 12 Year a slave because people didn’t want to be reminded of that period or WW2 because is violent. People making jokes that were ok in the 70s is also history. There is no excuses to cut them out if you don’t cut out most historical films
I think their hangup is, because they have SAG/Unionized actors/actresses, that they actually have to pay higher fees per each subsequent season (season 2 actors get paid more than season 1, season 3 actors get a bump from season 2) so eventually all but the most hyper-profitable shows get cancelled, and even then, some of the most popular ones still get cancelled because said show eventually becomes unprofitable after season 5 or 6 even if like 75% of the entire customer base is watching the show.

It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Netflix's addiction to data and revenue optimization becomes their demise.

I think with the money they have, Netflix should try producing a show that has 1, or 2 seasons, and has a concrete ending with little to no room for another season....and see how it does. People will invest time into something that they know has a definitive ending....but won't if they know the show might be canned and the story is left on a cliffhanger.
You've mapped from the decimal numbers (the subset of rational numbers where the denominator is a power of 10) between 0 and 1 to the natural numbers, not from the real numbers between 0 and 1 to the natural numbers.

> Other than turning Paul into a crusader

Are you referring to Paul's visions of future jihad? That is definitely in the novel. Paul takes advantage of the Fremen seeing him as their Mahdi, and uses their zeal to fight the Harkonnen, avenge his family, and win control of the Imperium, all the while having visions of a future bloody galactic-scale jihad, which he struggles with, ultimately causing him to leave The Path, and in the sequel, become The Preacher.

The 2022 screenplay is more or less identical to the 1984 screenplay, scene for scene, except for giving Duncan Idaho his due, at which the 1984 film notably failed. They did not reinvent the wheel here, and I don't blame them. It would be a daunting task.
Anki for the win! There's nothing like it if you want to retain large amounts of detailed knowledge.
you're an incompetent programmer

The problem with this line of reasoning, eg "if you write slow code you're incompetent", is that it applies to everything that programmers do - if you write slow code you're incompetent, if you write buggy code you're incompetent, if you write undocumented code you're incompetent, if you write untested code you're incompetent, if you write code slowly you're incompetent, if you write code that doesn't fulfil all the requirements perfectly you're incompetent, and so on for each and every measure someone dreams up to measure how good code is.

You'll very quickly find there are no competent developers.

> At least here in Bavaria, it would just be "ein Helles" (or "ein Dunkles"). :D

No, I wouldn't. And you wouldn't just order "a Lager", right? I kinda think we don't actually disagree. :)

The only difference may be that, if asked what kind of beer a "Helles" is, expecting some kind of category other than "Helles", I would answer "untergäriges Bier" and you may answer "Lager". Both are correct, one description focuses on the ability to keep the beer in storage in the ice cellar of the brewery, the other on the brewing process. What we both probably don't do is also e.g. call a Pils a Lager. In my experience, some of our american friends do that.

My point was that the US definition of beers that are "Lager" is very broad, way broader than in Germany (and probably also Switzerland & Austria) and that some parts of Germany even use completly different words for a similar categorization.
>You would be fine with artifacts from Sparta being sold to a museum in Athens, even though they were separate states at the time, and the Spartans would have not been happy about that.

We can ask the modern Spartans if you wish. Defending colonial-era archeological plundering gets close to racism fast, and what's said here, (to the tune of: what right do they have to their ancient culture, it's changed from the past anyway) is already heavy on racism and colonial entitlement.

The next step would be to invoke the "white man's burden" to protect those artifacts and have them in a nicer museum than the natives ever could.

All the while ascribing nationalism to the people's connection to their culture (because arbitrary removal of artifacts from their original land and keeping them for display on an colonial power's capital, full of other stolen artifacts from all over the world, is cosmopolitan).
"tried to pivot", that's very different. Maybe it should read "announcing that they would try to pivot", but you get the idea.

I have seen many companies announce that they would look into blockchain and NFT. Which is exactly what Dropbox is saying now for AI.
> There are virtually no new applications enabled IMO with 5G speeds vs LTE speeds/latency, assuming they are both not congested.

I think 5G latency requirements are currently very academically driven without much practical validation, see e.g. Tactile Internet.
EU net policies introduced by the commission for censorship attempts like chat control are extremely undemocratic and dangerous. It has an abysmal record here and it lacks democratic legitimacy in my opinion. This is plain to see if you look at the current commission president.

The same flaws are also hidden in the DSA which has no positive side, but allows for deeper surveillance and exclusions of users.
Depends on the station. I've heard a bunch of different stuff, but Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and Gujarati stuff all crops up at least as far as I can tell. I'm also not terribly good at distinguishing them but can tell when I'm hearing Hindi or Urdu.

Interesting that you mention the spectrum of Punjabi - I think I must have been taught some Punjabi-inflected Hindi which was very much like Hindi, and then had other people tell me they're completely different. Makes more sense now.
While I agree with this technically and I have used vi(m) for years, there is something experientially quite different about being able to use a local gui with all the mouse support and ease of use of VSCode or Sublime compared to the chording of more traditional terminal editors.

I'm not knocking Emacs or Vim, they are powerful tools but to be able to show a typical first year student how to edit their code remotely using SSH/Container support in VSCode is comparatively dead simple. All the students I work with now use this strategy, much in the same way they prefer to use jupyter and pandas when they can.
"but he is too young"

He is currently 27 - which is a lot older than Paul is supposed to be?
Do they in practice go further than that?

Certainly be warned about things that might unintentionally be offensive to some readers is a good thing.

For example, many Americans don't see anything with the word "spastic" (as an adjective), because it really was not widely used derogatorily over here. But in the UK it is one of the worst ableist slurs.

That is certainly the logical sort of thing to watch out for. Or other cases where a phase has a popular slang meaning in some subcultures that might confuse or overshadow the intended meaning, even if not offensive.

Even when writing a characters that is supposed to be offensive, it can be good to know if some people are likely to find the character far more offensive than intended.

But if they are going beyond just pointing these things out (and possibly offering alternatives that the author may want to consider), then yeah, I could see that potentially being a problem.

For example, if publishers are insisting that say all sensitivity readers concerns are addressed, even when likely minor, that would definitely be going overboard.

I'm not an author, editor, or publisher, so I'm not familiar with how such things work in the industry.
Thanks. I tried it, but really don’t want a lot of apps as my phone doesn’t have much storage. And I like having a shared bookmark list for web sites. I appreciate simplicity and one less app means one less update schedule, one less UI, etc etc.

Reddit is exactly why the web was invented so using an app just makes me feel a little sad when one of the big benefits of html was that you wouldn’t need custom clients for everything.

I think Dropbox is, like a lot of companies right now, is struggling to find new revenue with new features added to their existing product lines and is divesting themselves of new work on mature products to focus on new markets. AI just being something exciting in general that has everyone hyped.

It's the 80/20 ratio - going from working MVP of a chat app takes about 5kb, but then you have literally nothing else that makes something like linen or slack usable for lots of different edge cases (styling, file uploads, channels, UI, etc)
The general problem though is that "and that doesn't matter" isn't backed up by anything but gut feeling.

When FB dove into the numbers, they found they could save 50% in hardware costs. That _does_ matter.

It may be the case that your company has a 20k server rack to support 20M of sales and so it doesn't matter. But unless you've actually looked up the cost you shouldn't be making the claim because it's unbacked; it's just a bad faith arguement.

Has any major national election ever been proven fraudulent?

The most widely publicized election fraud examples, usually but not always coming from openly despotic regimes, never are proven per se. They are just accepted as fraud by the international community because the results are unlikely. (Eg putin got 100% of the votes.)

To be clear, I’d never claim America has election fraud. It’s a dangerous claim to make, and not just in despotic regimes. It’s the proverbial crying wolf.
I'd appreciate any more tips or resources you might have about reducing Rust code bloat. I want my library [1] to be acceptable to the most strident anti-bloat curmudgeons, so they'll make their UIs accessible.

HBO started production on a prequel, Dune: the Sisterhood, based on the Brian Hebert books, I haven't read them, only read the first six by Frank Hebert, but just based on the twist in book five, the origin story of the Bene Gesserit could be bonkers.
That's literally what I do though... I keep journals of what I read. I work on problems if the book comes with any problem sets. I summarize key topics in my own words.

If the book doesn't have problem sets, per se, I come up with ways of testing myself that I understood the material usually through a small side project or by revisiting something I did before and trying to rework it using the new knowledge I'm trying to gain.

I also do this for fiction. I keep journals of all the books I've read, what I was thinking about at the time, my impressions while reading it, interesting passages that stood out to me, etc. I re-read books and I write new journal entries for the second (or third, etc) reading: context and history often change how I think about, react to, or enjoy a story.

Thinking to me starts with writing.
My 2005 Honda Accord gets this right (big, obvious buttons). Definitely not looking forward to finding a car whose UX doesn't suck when this one finally kicks the bucket.
Touch screen suck because is hard to remember vs same spot and single function. You get 3-4 layers or pressing before getting the it. But if you need more features, you also cannot make your dash like a 747. So touch screen it is.
Comparing Approaches to Durability in Low Latency Messaging Queues
It's definitely a trade-off! If you have 10s or 100s of app servers that has the exact same working set in memory, it's probably not worth it.

But if you have a handful of app servers, it's much more reasonable. The relatively low scale back-office systems I tend to work with typically has 2, max 3. Also, spinning up an extra instance that does some data crunching does not affect the performance of the app servers, as they don't have to coordinate.

There's also the performance and practicality benefits you get from not having to do round-trips in order to query. You can now actually do 100 queries in a loop, instead of having to formulate everything as a single query.

And if you have many different apps that operates on the same DB, it becomes a benefit as well. The app server will only have the _actual_ working set it queries on in memory, not the sum of the working set across all of the app servers.

If this becomes a problem, you can always architecture your way around it as well, by having two beefy API app servers that your 10s or 100s of other app servers talks to.
