I struggled with this one, caconym_.

A few minutes before I had this idea, I wrote down "Faraday Cafe. No wifi. No cell signal." But then I thought about how hard it might be to build one that blocked modern 5G/wifi networks. (Can any RF/electrical engineers weigh in?)

I scribbled these ideas with pen and paper while getting breakfast this morning (phone and laptop put away). Then I went to a park to write the post on my laptop (without a network connection). Then I turned on my phone and hotspot in order to post it. (An hour later, I'm still gazing at the internet.)

I'm super open to other ideas.

We are at least two generations removed from any possible, popularly conceivable alternative to capitalism. Such an alternative is not generated from thin air; it must be cultivated.

Any criticism, to be useful, must be consist of two parts: (1) An assertion of fault and (2) a suggestion of remedy. You haven’t even provided (1), not really, but let’s pretend for a moment you have. What is your remedy for Klein’s faulty expression of anti capitalism? Printing ‘zines from paper made from the pressed dryer lint of guerrilla laundromats? How far does your purity test go before it itself becomes just an excuse to refuse to discuss the ideas themselves?

Or shall we just admit that your position is merely nihilism? If that is the case, let us state it out right; this, at least, dispenses with pretense of ideology.
How many engineers does your company have? When you have thousands it is easy to write millions of lines of code.
I had a 95% accurate emulator for GG/SMS running in one night. The only bit I took off-the-shelf was some C code for the Z80. I promise you it is pretty easy - if you've coded some assembler before then you'll pick it up really quickly. You don't even need to know Z80 opcodes or anything - it is more about mapping all the memory addresses and setting up an onscreen bitmap to blit all the sprites to.
Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series was such a delight too, starting with Too Like the Lightning. Beautiful threads of high Rennaisance drama in a interesting speculative future earth.

I don't understand who the "just want to write Python and be done with it" demographic is. If you're a developer, it makes sense to do things well, if you aren't and you're writing small one-off scripts, you can do fine without type hints.

Anyone who can write and run a test can also call "mypy ." on their project.
I agree with your sentiment but I suppose you're considering the wrong statistics. Instead you should consider:
- how many jobs have interviews that necessitate knowing how to handle extreme scale

- proportion of jobs (not companies) requiring extreme scale - the fact that non extreme scales are the long tail doesn't mean it's a fat tail

- proportion of buyers/potential users that walk away from the inability to handle extreme scale

... and more sarcastically

- proportion of articles about extreme scale

- proportion of repos about extreme scale
This generalization has no merit. There's a very wide range of American software, from the formally verified Rust programming language to some Javascript shitlibs. Stanford and Berkeley are home to some very famous formalization efforts.

If anything, I find logically coherent software to be more pleasant (Rust) than something shitty (Python).

And if anything, commercial success seems to be inversely proportional to "pleasantness"

Firefox is lagging behind on a lot of the more esoteric web APIs. I think it's a choice by the Firefox team, and a valid one given the effort required, Mozilla's relatively limited resources, and how few devs actually want or need these APIs. Firefox is more like a "website viewer" than a "web app host" like Chrome and Safari. I think that's what a lot of Firefox users want, and why they choose that browser. It might even be useful to differentiate between them instead of calling everything a 'web browser' in the future.

To that end I don't think it's a fair criticism of web app developers or Firefox that apps like this don't work in your browser.
I don't find anything compelling about it either. I don't even like my iPhone that much. Half the time I pull it out of my pocket to find that the camera is on (no way to disable that) or I've made some other gesture that has opened up a dialog with no obvious means to dismiss it.

I think it's probably no mere coincidence that the article recommends pyright, not mypy.
I'm curious how you had such great luck with Gnus IMAP. I'm a Gnus user myself, but I had to switch to local Maildir because I couldn't get a workable experience with the IMAP configuration. Specifically, Gnus would freeze Emacs for several minutes every time I loaded Gnus. This mostly seemed to be a problem when I accessed an account with more than 10,000 items in a mail folder.

Running the same folder in a local Maildir didn't cause an issue, so I made the switch, but it would be nice to go back to IMAP. Partially back to IMAP, anyway - the office Outlook server requires OAUTH for IMAP and I don't believe that GNUS supports that configuration.
Interesting! It took me a lot of googling after reading to figure this out…

The international airports have Thomas Cook booths for exchanging cash to rupees. They now allow foreigners to create an account on this app called “fave” which they can reload only at the airport. This is limited only to g20 countries (that’s an odd requirement considering many wealthy countries aren’t in g20).

It’s a start but still way too complicated to figure out after 10 hour flight and stressful airport entry.

I hope they improve by integrating recharge by PayPal or another internationally useful service.
I would love to hear everyone's input on this question as well!
Simultaneously is redundant with "also": "I'm also noticing" and "Simultaneously, I'm noticing" both imply a reference to an external thought. You could drop 'also' instead of 'simultaneously' if you're worried about ambiguity in terms of the nature of your acknowledgement.

ps: I tapped out a message on my virtual keyboard, and didn't take my ADHD meds yet either. I guess where we differ is that I didn't use my condition to attack anyone for ableism just because they didn't agree with me.

End CA Prop 13 benefits for businesses or make them pay all the difference in back taxes when they sell the property. That would have the potential to massively help the budget and make things more fair for newer businesses moving in, so they wouldn’t be stuck trying to compete with businesses that enjoy a tax bill that at might be 1/20th of theirs.
They have known for a long time that text completion is what is called 'AI-complete' meaning that if you have full AGI then it can do human level text completion and if you have human level text completion then it can do full AGI. So they found a way, using an obscene number of model parameters and obscene compute power and obscene dataset size, to get really really good at text completion. So now they got these systems that, looking back, they are going to call just AGI. So in simpler words, it works because the computers brains got so big that they are now conscious like you and me.

Lots of VR headsets have a small webcam, and can show its viewpoint as a HUD element in the headset. That's enough to keep track of your bearings, then you just need a normal mouse and keyboard (e.g. the laptop you already own). No need to revolutionize on the input front if all you want is lots of private screen real-estate.

You can have this right now from multiple VR headsets (Lenovo comes to mind as a company that puts a lot of emphasis on this use-case). The issue is the resolution of most headsets is pretty low for this usecase, so you end up with pretty low-resolution virtual "screens".

Americans also mostly don't study programming language theory (PLT) (unless they are lucky enough to attend e.g. Carnegie Mellon). A lot of the focus is on algorithms - which is a great shame. The majority of programmers will be consuming/creating APIs and abstractions, not implementing algorithms. PLT would be much more helpful here.

> OP's vision is that AR goggles may ultimately supersede displays entirely, which would make it difficult to do things that most people commonly do today, like show their friends things on their phone.

This is how Meta does it:

With supported keyboards (basically Apple and Logitech’s offerings atm), they load up a tracked 3D model of the keyboard and then pull in an overlaid video feed of your real hands. With non-supported keyboards, the video feed is more of a small “window” that also captures the keyboard.

And when it works, it’s honestly very impressive (especially with color passthrough).

I fully expect Apple to have a more robust and less buggy version ready to go - and with the much higher specs they’ll probably be able to get a lot of “wows” from the demos.
Looks like Microsoft's .INI file format.
Yes, as a thought experiment, maybe we should prosecute those who purchase eggs, even free range ones, from so called 'ethical' farms, for animal abuse? Each hen lays 600 eggs in its lifespan [1]. For every hen there was a male chick that was shredded alive in a macerator in the hatchery [2,3].

The link between abuse and consumption is concrete in this case. Buying more eggs requires the farm to raise more hens, which causes more male chicks to be shredded. There is a direct supplier and customer here, and money is clearly transferred.

So the average person consumes 277 eggs per year [4], that means approximately every 2 years, we all shred a male chick alive, by proxy. And by using the same argument as for the illegal pornography, we should be going to jail for animal abuse?

4. https://www.statista.com/statistics/183678/per-capita-consum...

With illegal pornography, which is information, and can be copied effortlessly at zero cost, and when no money is transferred, the link between consumption and abuse is much less clear. In fact most of those images are distributed for free, so I guess it's pirated illegal pornography that people are viewing then? That hardly makes a direct case for increasing the production of such images?
True. But the spec also doesn’t provide a way to tell if a stored number should be decoded as a float or an integer - which makes it a right pain to use correctly in most programming languages. I’d love it if json natively supported:

- Separate int / float types

- A binary blob type

- Dates

- Maps with non string keys.

Even javascript supports all this stuff now at a language level; it’s just JSON that hasn’t caught up.
"One more question, do your officers carry a smartphone or anything like that? Anything with a screen? Okay, any chance they could turn that off before they come inside? Yeah, I'm sorry. It's the No Screens Cafe. We also don't allow firearms or weapons. Your body cameras don't have screens, right? Okay, good, you can leave that on."
And it probably worked because it wasn’t even AT&T at that point. It was Cingular before AT&T bought them.
I have 728. Before Bitwarden I used password store. I migrated with a script about 2 years ago, and I still don't have all the necessary metadata in at least a half (meaning there is no icon, usernames are messy, etc). I only update the old entries whenever the accounts are needed, meaning that I haven't used half of them in 2 years. So I "actively" use about 360 accounts on various services.

Something being true is the bare minimum and has little bearing on what should be done from there.

Example: It was a fact that Germany was left in an impossible political and economic situation after WWI, and it was a fact that the leftist government at the time accepted the agreements that led to that impossible situation. But simply saying that leaves out context about who was truly to blame, something that a young war veteran took advantage of in short order. So to avoid being tricked by people telling easy truths, it’s important to be critical of all sources of truths, especially ones with an ideological bent. And during that process it is acceptable to discard partial truths in favor of a search for the complete story.
This photo perfectly sums up how I see people dressed when I go to the mall. Is it like this in other countries?

Edit to address the article:

Yes, most of the GenZ people I know (and many of the younger millennials) are terrible with their finances and have thousands of dollars in credit card debt. Most fall into 1 of 2 categories, they either are studying for or are early career in a job that will pay them 6 figures, or they don't believe they'll ever be able to buy a house/retire etc.

Neither seems sustainable. How can we instill financial literacy in our populace before they make these mistakes? Not everyone has parents who teach them how to manage money, should schools be doing this?

Nothing. You could leave it at home, too. But that's not the point. We live in an age where, arguably, we all feel safer because we're able to contact loved ones immediately. Visiting this hypothetical cafe implies that we also eliminate our ability to receive and respond to time-sensitive messages. That's perhaps a luxury, but it's a luxury that we rely on.

If my home security system tells me that it heard broken glass, I want to know now, not in thirty minutes. If my kid needs to be picked up from school, I want to know now. If my spouse's employer calls to tell me they've been sent to the hospital, I want to know now. Anyone with a job that requires them to be reachable for emergencies (like an emergency responder on their lunch break) cannot attend this cafe. In today's society, it's a luxury to have no responsibilities to anyone such that you aren't reachable for hours at a time.

It's wild to think of a place that would be exclusionary of parents, caregivers, partners, and more simply because of an absolutist policy. And you've got to be carrying cash. And of course, there's no ATM because that would have a screen. For a huge swath of the population, this is simply a non-starter.

Right. I want to see an indication of what sort of numerical value it is. Big integers interpreted as floats lose precision. And floats decoded as integers truncate anything after the decimal place. JSON makes it way too easy to get this stuff wrong when decoding.
