re: tabs suspending in the background

It's not talked about much, but one of the benefits of Stage Manager from iOS 16 is that all apps in the same "app set" are running concurrently and not getting suspended. So if you have your editor/ssh/browser in one app set, you can freely switch between them without fear of them suspending. And they can still be full screen, so no need to suffer the lessened screen real-estate, if you don't need to display 2+ windows at once.

For me it is a yes, but it took a while.

There were some early struggles and awkwardness around me being gay (nothing really bad and I am grateful that I never felt unsafe)

There was the awkward years after being an adult that our relationship had to shift and it took until my mid twenties before it really shifted to, you don't have any control over me anymore and we are equals. There were some fights around this.

For me this took moving about 600 miles away and being able to become my own person.

Now obviously there are plenty of things that they don't know about me. Often will hear about things I did after the fact instead of like with friends and just talking about future plans.

But I regularly text my mom (like she asked me about the D&D) movie and we generally talk on the phone once or twice a week.

Being completely honest the pandemic helped, we talked a lot more.

My mom is my best friend, I don't talk to my stepdad, and I never met my biodad.

At first, I offered zero/one/both as the options, but I realized that many people have complicated step-family structures, so I wanted to make it more open-ended.

Mum yes absolutely, love a natter with mum.

Dad nah. He was an alcoholic (probably self medicating ADHD in hindsight with my diagnosis) who would always criticise everything when drunk. You're fat, you're not doing anything useful in life. You're doing this wrong, that is wrong, the other is wrong. Stopped talking to him for my own mental health and later he died after catching a common cold when his liver shut down.

Boomers really need to get help with mental health issues, the stigma isn't really there anymore. Sort yourself out before you die prematurely and miss meeting your grandkids lol
We aren't on speaking terms.
I watched some talking heads discussing this earlier this morning. The analyst they had on said "we all know that the internet needs more moderation". All I could think was, do we really know that?

They claimed the only reason we haven't 'solved' that problem yet is that there hasn't been a good alternative proposed which wouldn't break the internet.

I find all of this just absurd. Their stated claims amount to saying they want to make the internet safe from people...
How does modern C++ compare to Rust? As in, if someone is already familiar with C++, and is willing and able to use c++20, and maybe beyond, features, are there still some compelling reasons to switch to Rust?
Growing up in Alaska I had always taken it for granted that when Bob Ross painted outdoor scenes they looked just like the outdoors I was used to. It's funny how that never stood out enough for me to see it as peculiar, given that absolutely no other media showed landscapes that were similar to the one I grew up in.
I'm currently using the 'minor third' scale on my site muxup.com (mainly because I didn't know what scaling to use and I saw it in use somewhere else). It seems fine, but I've found the headings aren't visually distinct enough if they're not right next to each other (i.e. it's hard to visually distinguish a h2 at 2.488 rem vs an h3 at 2.074rem). Perhaps I've chosen a bad scale, or perhaps I should be adding other visual markers to help distinguish the heading level?
Hello, post-truth world!

More seriously, I think that digital photos, and especially low-res surveillance camera coverage, will soon be inadmissible in any reasonable court, because tools like this would allow to forge such evidence in very natural-looking ways.
> Now, a paper from researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine and Stanford Hospitals, raises an extraordinary prospect: transmission from asymptomatic people is far, far less common than we were led to believe.

> From a special test they developed, the researchers found a remarkable 96 percent of people who were PCR-positive but without symptoms were not infectious.

> Most people who don’t have symptoms, of course, are not infected. So the likelihood of someone who is not noticeably sick actually being infected and infectious was exceedingly rare. This means that much of the actions we were told—or compelled—to take, including an acceptance of all those closed or half-empty schools, had little to no benefit.

1. Can we really sweep away all the evidence of asymptomatic spread because of a "special PCR test" years after the fact? We had a lot of good reasons to believe this at the time, and none of them are engaged with here.

2. If asymptomatic people rarely spread COVID and it spread anyway, that means that symptomatic people were going out in public and spreading it. Even though they were getting plenty of messaging not to do this. That means that symptomatic people don't cooperate with public health measures enough to slow the spread, either because they did not understand their symptoms or didn't care. So what do you do, other than require masks by default? What does this change?
They should take it seriously. If a lot of your product is mostly copy pastable why on earth would you feed even pieces of it to a third party? There's so many legal and logistical issues with it it isn't even funny. People using chatgpt now are mostly doing so because they believe it makes them efficient, kind of counter productive when your competitor can pay a penny to get your IP after months of efficient work. Or better yet, what's to stop OpenAI from eating your lunch? Nothing. Literally nothing. Even worse, at what point can OpenAI say they own your product because they developed it? In the land of business it's not about who is right, it's about who has the most money to pay to create the laws.
Been a while since I was at Apple. But we never used Google services and any third party tools we did use were vetted by a cross functional team from Security, Data Governance etc.

This idea that they would just allow sensitive data to be given to competitors in an unmanaged way is ridiculous. That sort of thing doesn't happen at any enterprise company let alone one of the most secretive in the industry.

I think it's better to just browse the 'CppCoreGuidelines' for the aspects that you are working on. C++ is multi paradigm and has an extremely broad user-base, no size fits all so select what you need.

Hehe, by you, you mean? ;)

This is a really fun way to combine something that is being discussed to death with something that is visually beautiful. I'm fairly disinterested in most ChatGPT usages at the moment, but this is a really good way to show its utility. Particularly because it doesn't place _too_ much emphasis on the factual accuracy of the responses ;)
Supreme Court versus Warhol foundation: copyright fight over Prince photo lost

For compilers, arena allocation is king. IMHO: arenas > GC > RAII > malloc/free.

With manual memory management (whether RAII or not), it's usually not difficult to add arenas into the mix.

On the other hand, in GC languages: many GCs only allow heap pointers to the beginning of objects, not to their interior. This means arenas can't used in those GC languages; every full collection actually has to trace the millions of AST nodes individually.

One reason this is a problem is that a road isn't a point source of noise, it's a line source. So the noise decreases only linearly with distance, not as the square.
I often wonder about some sort of unified distributed system, encompassing frontend & backend into a single whole. One where user input is just something the system can ask and wait for, no matter which frontend or client it comes from.

But I’ve only ever been able to catch glimpses of it. More of a nebulous feeling and intuition than a real understanding of how such a thing would work. Something that feels obviously right, that will make perfect sense once understood, but that I still can’t begin to grasp.

It’s frustrating.

I’m also pretty sure I must not be the first, and that it either already exists or involves some complexity, maintainability or evolution issues I have no idea of.

Your example reminded me of "it".

Going vegetarian/vegan is about the environment, not about the number of people. Even with half of the world population, meat-based diets are unsustainable.

> Accessibility is all about utility for the groups who need it the most

Do some groups really need utility more than others? This seems to contradict the idea of accessibility in general.

> You can have normal excel and an excel that uses sound for blind people on the side. It's not one or the other, and the other in this case also puts utility first for the people it applies to.

It really is one or the other. You cannot represent an effectively infinite 2 dimensional grid in speech. This is impossible because speech is one dimensional. This 2d grid is not accidental to excel, it's at the core of its utility.

> Ban ChatGPT and people will just use some other tool

Depends on the policy. The actual rule may be "no external AI assisted tools or you're fired" rather then anything ChatGPT specific. And I fully expect Apple will be able to tell from their network monitoring if you broke the rule.
The service economy has finally started really impacting the big companies in a substantial way it seems. What's Apple going to do? As long as chat GPT has the most users and the most momentum, apple is losing a competitive advantage by refusing to use it.

Edit: I'm talking about how software as a service has taken off and it's becoming difficult to impossible to run modern tools locally. Back in the day something like chat GPT would be sold with a license and now they will refuse to ever do that because they can't get as much money that way.

I'm not talking about services like apple providing cloud services.

The major problem with these kinds of tool is that they don’t explain why there is any virtue in the scales produced. My answer to that: there is none. Ever. In fact, I would go so far as to say that consistent geometric or modular scales like these are normally bad (though I won’t say always), and this kind of consistency actively undesirable, because our eyes and minds just don’t work that way, but value asymmetry and obvious differences in parsing and gathering information. You either end up with insufficient distinction, or grossly excessive variation.

That’s why you might do things like this (which I provide as an example of something reasonable, not as the only way of doing things):

1. Page title: positively huge (e.g. 4rem/64px/48pt). Probably not bold (though I freely invite you to use inline styles inside the title, something nowhere near enough people do).

2. Heading: quite large, and with a large gap before it (e.g. 2.5rem/40px/30pt, plus margin-top of 1.5em/60px and margin-bottom of 1rem/16px). Maybe bold, maybe not.

3. Subheading: somewhere between heading and body text in size, and perhaps with a decent-sized gap before it when not preceeded by a heading (e.g. 1.5rem/24px/18pt, margin-top 1.33em/30px and margin-bottom of 1rem/16px). Probably bold.

4. Subsubheading (rare) and certain sorts of captions (e.g. on figures and asides): normal size and distinguished by style instead. (e.g. 1rem/16px/12pt, but bold, and perhaps with a larger gap above.)

One thing covered incidentally in this sample scheme is the use of asymmetric margins to visually separate sections. That’s normally a good idea, but for some reason people don’t often try to fit it into their neat mathematical constructions—though you will note this tool’s sample area using such asymmetry unremarked. Probably because their formulæ are arbitrary anyway.

Another thing to note is that for general typography you don’t need many levels. As far as major sizes and styles are concerned, I’m sceptical of any general-use model that goes beyond five (title, heading, subheading, caption, body text). As far as headings are concerned, if you’re using more than title + two more, you should probably reconsider your content structure.

Cast off the tyranny of typographical scales. They have the appearance of wisdom in promoting rigour, but they are of no value.
I would disagree. In most programming languages, compiler errors and even linters lag by orders of magnitude behind the practices that will actually let you write code that stands a chance of being safe and secure.

I haven't looked at this specific list yet, but I am yet to see a C++ project in which code works just by following what the tools tell you.

I read the article, basically there are multiple duplicate apps that do the same thing but with slightly different UI from the same developer. These apps implement UX that violates Apple’s design guidelines. Surprisingly, the reviews are not fake just users are often asked to review the app. I fail to see the scam portion of it? The app seems to deliver what it promised using the GPT API.

I must criticize this on the grounds that it is ugly, but then almost everything that is built these days is ugly.

Secondly, what genius decided to make it a flat roof? Flat surfaces are the absolute worst both in capturing the most sunlight in temperate latitudes and in terms of dirt and snow removal. Even a 45° angle would mean a lot of the dust, leaves and snow will just tumble down or get washed down by the next rain, whereas flat surfaces are literally encrusted within months.
I thinknyoure missing the way this type of ban works. When you tell the emomplyees not to use a banned service it becomes an employee discipline issue. If they violate it its likely a problem for the company but it becomes a serious problem for that employee.

It's not, but the analogy breaks down here anyway.

I.e. technically everything influences everything else, but some things influence others much stronger than the reverse.

My usual water-based analogy is that culture and society is like a water flowing downhill; economic situation (all the incentives people have) forms the landscape. Technology is what sculpts the landscape.

The flow of water does have its own influence - over time, it smoothens out rough edges, and can even forge its own path when the landscape is opposing water too hard. But mostly, the water conforms to the shape of the terrain. Same is with culture - it softens the behaviors of people following incentives, and can reform some aspects of the economy that just don't feel right - but mostly, the economy pretty much determines what culture develops, what people do, what people think. New technologies alter economic landscape quickly, but we don't have much control over when they show up or how the landscape is altered.

Interesting, but...

Apart from the fact that this prototype is very ugly, some limitations come to mind.

- Maintenance without blocking the bike lane. Does this require a separate access road?

- Will this work when any trees are nearby? Falling branches are likely to cause damage and block the sun.

- How does this work when buildings are nearby? You will block all the light? I'm having trouble imaging how this will look good in a more dense area - not the mention the extra width required on the sides of the bike path will be hard to get where space is at a premium (cities).

All this seems to point to a rather limited use case: bike lanes in places with few buildings and few trees, and sufficient spacing around the structure to facilitate maintenance access. That presumably means: in sparse industrial zones near edges of cities (as pictured, I suppose).

Which leads to another question: how many sparse industrial zones in Germany actually have bike 4m wide bike paths?
I had worked in this industry for the past 5 years. I tried to start 3 years ago a company in this sector (outdoor billboard analytics). I will tell you one word: "Go away !".

The problem isn't the technology you use (facial recognition is working well but is too expensive). The average technology used to measure billboards is phone gps positions sent by applications that have contracts with data providers.

It's working pretty well but the sector is moving really slowly (in the US is much better than in Europe where all the services are corrupted). Nobody in the industry wants to change the method because they are selling the same amount of ODV (views) for 20 years and they don't want to have the allowed budgets advertisers are given to them.
As someone with RSI who writes code using speech recognition, before copilot, something like Talon was a pretty good solution. Awkward, kinda rough on the throat, not something you would use in the long term but better than the other options. I've always thought that a editor based on the abstract syntax tree in the language was a far better solution but that's a hard to solve problem and needs to be redone with every language.

I now use copilot almost exclusively when writing code. I've learned how to give it prompts so that writes code the way I would've written code. Occasionally it surprises me but when I dig into the solution, I realize that's a good one and start using it intentionally.

That said, navigation still a pain (sometimes literally). I mostly use the arrow keys and page up/page down to get to where I want to go. It is usually not worth the hassle to build special macros for editor specific navigation. I believe having meat macros like I developed with Emacs is no longer a win. Maybe if I had abstract syntax tree driven navigation, it would be worthwhile.

Rust does have a few drawbacks (custom allocators, some people miss sfinae, I don't). However, the Rust standard library is, IMHO, vastly better designed that the C++ stdlib, in particular when it comes to concurrency. Also, the toolchain is quite good. And of course, linting is miles ahead of C++ and will presumably stay there forever, as Rust code is much easier to analyze than C++.

So, I would say yes, it is worth. But truly, it probably depends on what you're coding.

I walk this road every weekend for fun. No pavements, yet I feel perfectly safe:
https://www.google.pl/maps/@51.3167434,22.543053,3a,75y,89.3...

cars go on it like 30 km/h cause it's so narrow. No need for any infrastructure.

If the road is wide enough for cars to go faster - it's wide enough to fit pavement (one side at least). Pavement can be very narrow too - 1 m is infinitely better than no pavement. I've even seen 0.5 m pavements but that's stretching it :)

If the road is so narrow you can't fit pavement there - it's probably safe already.

But I've seen roads in USA and I think you just have no comparison on what "no space" means.
in discussions outside of C or C++ projects and especially when talking about memory safety or higher level concepts it's completely fine to call it C/C++, the distinction is just noise to a completely different conversation being had
