I liked more AC54 from the other contest finalists. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sound_Logo_Vote

It's simple, short and leaves me with a smile. I also like that there are so many instruments doing something nice together. Every time you hear you can listen to a different thing.

The chosen one VQ97 is okay but I did not like that one sound ends (pages turning) and then another starts (5 notes melody). Each sound piece is good in their own but concatenated they are disjoint as an identity. If it was a graphical logo they would choose 1 logo and not 2 logos. This is like 2 sound logos.
Original headline for context:

Barbie film used so much pink paint it fuelled a global shortage

No, it did not. "It wiped out an entire company's global supply" is how the Guardian put it [1], right under an almost equally misleading click-bait headline. Only to continue wiggling around the fact that even that is an exaggeration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis

> An extensive lead service pipe replacement effort has been underway since 2016. In early 2017, some officials asserted that the water quality had returned to acceptable levels, but in January 2019, residents and officials expressed doubt about the cleanliness of the water. There were an estimated 2,500 lead service pipes still in place as of April 2019. As of December 8, 2020, fewer than 500 service lines still needed to be inspected. As of July 16, 2021, 27,133 water service lines had been excavated and inspected, resulting in the replacement of 10,059 lead pipes. After $400 million in state and federal spending, Flint has secured a clean water source, distributed filters to all who want them, and laid modern, safe, copper pipes to nearly every home in the city. Politico declared that its water is "just as good as any city's in Michigan."

"We fixed it" presumably is part of why Flint is a lower priority than combating Russian wars of expansionary aggression.

(The Ukraine war is, incidentally, a fascinatingly cheap way of kneecapping Russia. It's beyond the wildest wet dreams of the Cold Warriors in cost effectiveness.)

While it's a little shitty to unilaterally ban them, it's pretty well known that for some reason people frequently post telegram links for illegal activity (drugs, scams, and exchanging CSAM), so I can see why they would do it to cover their own ass.
I don't know how you would do that cryptographically or in a way that wouldn't just make more disinformation.
If the goal is to run Home Assistant, a secondhand thin client like HP T620 is more than enough and can be bought for like $30.
Yes! Speaking as a heavy Reddit, but non-sub user, this is exactly what would have gotten me to pay them $50 a year. Not NFTs, stickers and avatars.

I think the problem is that the API concerns are more around LLMs having easy access points to their data than anything else. Still, this could have been avoided by providing free-use keys to trusted developers. It's not like there are that many of them. Just seems odd how dark they've been towards this user class. It's very similar to the Twitter changes.

The nuke approach they've done will send so many of their important, core users off the site.
That's why we write programs that rely on tail calls only for languages that have TCO in their specification. Where TCO is idiomatic (e.g. Elixir) implementations not supporting it are impossible because they will be able to run only the simplest programs.

The problem is adding TCO to a language that was born without it. It won't break existing programs but you'll be able to run a program using TCO only with a specific compiler or interpreter from a given version. It could catch up if the main implementation of the language does it, but often we care about compatibility with the alternative implementations. Think about Ruby and Python, MRI and CPython and all the other implementations of the language. If I'm not wrong, MRI added TCO under a runtime configuration variable but JRuby doesn't support it.
The classic testing / dummy URL site is down.
That's incorrect, in Dunning-Kruger self-assessed ability is positively correlated with ability at every part of the distribution.
> Frankly that trip somewhat made me aware that there isn’t much European and US can do for pollution at a global scale.

That's exactly it. That said, I'm living in southern californai now, we have a recycling bin that people just throw trash into. Nobody here cares either.

Heck, this is one of the compost bins! https://imgur.com/cdPEo0i
> They are attempting to weaken Russian through a proxy war (Think Afghanistan or Vietnam). They are not defending Ukraine.

Wow, if only Russia had a way to stop the wests devious plan of forcing them to fight in Ukraine and decimate their military. I guess they could leave right?.

> If the US administrations truly wanted peace they would have signed up for permanent no-NATO agreements as Dr. Mearsheimer has pointed out.

Dr Mearsheimer has gotten nearly everything about this war incorrect, no one should be listening to him.

> But having Ukraine become Switzerland would not benefit the US' current warlike ambitions, nor would it assist the plundering of the incredibly valuable resources of Ukraine. Zelensky's platform for peace, when he was elected, was destroyed by the Banderistas in Western Ukraine who have been prepping for war, or executingi

Damn those Banderistas and there control of the Russian government, if only Putin had the power to not do what the west and the Banderists wanted he would of been able to stay out of this mess and to invaded Ukraine, but those mind control geniuses forced him to do it.

> The Russian army is really designed for this type of combat, and they won't have a better chance. Now, they might have misjudged the level of Ukrainian resistance, and the Western support, but now they are just rubbling cities and targeting everything. The worst of WW1 & WW2 is back.

The Russian army is already resorting to using T62's and are mad maxing vehicles, I don't think they are designed for this, unless 'this' is being slaughtered by western weaponry.

> Each time we give the Ukrainians weapons we stall the inevitable, and we ensure that more Ukrainians will die.

Conversely, each time we give Ukrainians weapons, we stop another Bucha massacre, we stop more women, children and men being tortured and raped, we stop more teenagers being summarily executed.

Why do you think letting the Russian army that has already ground cities to dust, implemented there 'filtration' (read torture) camps and committed war crime after war crime, do more of that is going to help?.

If you wanna really complain about weapons deliveries to Ukraine complain to Russia, they still are likely the biggest supplier of weapons to Ukraine, and if they aren't they are a close second.
Have they fixed "pieces of me is actually a good song reddit" yet? (Google it.)
That's funny a reddit mod being unreasonably banned by other mods. Reddit is just far left propaganda these days.
crun is not a setuid program
I have a pretty decent home automation setup going for the last 5 years at this place with no issues using the hue ecosystem till my hue bridge died last month. Motion battery free buttons and timers for lights and outlets.

Have now made the jump to HA so we will see how long it can go post setup without falling over (and adding some things) but 5 years before the first issue (and so far I have some hue bulbs going on 10 years) is solid enough imho

So it can be done and is not always a lie.
Yes, armed with an epiphany of “what is math, truly” (proportions of things, not numbers of things) I can produce casual estimates which are “reasonable.” Whether regarding structures, or collections of things, or intuitive understanding of levers/gears, ratios/transitional steps, base conversions, and so on.

Engineers (or those performing their role in casual contexts) use math all the time.

I was never “good at math” though geometry/trigonometry always made intuitive sense to me.

My enlightenment came very late in life, and not [exactly] from books (though I often look into books when the topic intrigues me.)

The “super power” of math comes by expanded awareness. Like walking around your whole life with eyes on the ground, and one day raising your gaze upward, even above the horizon to find there is a whole expansive space looming about you (this whole time!)

Curiosity might have you calculating how much the passengers in an elevator weigh (and how close to the maximum capacity which those wonderful engineers unfailingly print somewhere); how much load a trailer hitch can take; how much breathable air one might have if your compartment were submerged in water, how much does five gallons of water actually weigh, etc.

Not to sound cringe but …
You have to work the noodle all the time if it is going to be effective when and where you will spontaneously need it!
Do you think this desire is out of the goodness of their hearts and they genuinely think that it is the best? I cannot believe anyone would think that.
You quickly gets into the undecidable category once you to down that road, which might be fine if you either don’t care about safety, or have runtime checks for that, but none of those were an option for rust (or at least an option that would have made it remotely interesting).
It's about ads and tracking sure, but they're also trying to build a TikTok-style algorithm-powered black hole that keeps you sucked in by way of constantly shoving more things in front of you, including posts from subreddits you're not subscribed to. They also want to be able to force whatever new half-baked features they add to work with prominent positioning in their apps.
AFAIU, "list" has a specific technical meaning when used by someone complaining about Clojure not having them. It has to do with the implementation details, not just the semantics of how they're used.

Clojure has "sequences" or "seqs", which are semantically the closest to what lispers mean by a "list"—but also "vectors," denoted by square brackets, "maps," denoted by curly brackets, and "sets", denoted by curly brackets prefixed with a hash sign. Having these as core data structures violates the Lisp principle of "everything is just a list," and they introduce something other than round parens into the syntax, which looks really weird to those practiced with traditional/conventional Lisps.

For those well-practiced in "true" Lisps, Clojure reads like a very strange hybrid (one might say "corruption") of Lisp and JSON.
They won't index it until you have enough links coming into it.

Between this and the reddit blackout, "volunteer" mods doing free work for a company are really overstating their importance. The cons don't outweigh the goods. It's why I like the Fediverse: I control what I can see on my own instance and don't have a rando telling me what I can and cannot do.
The pandemic also ruined a lot of subreddits, especially ones for municipalities. Over 3 years of "OMG COVID" and "we ar liek literally in a pandemic" and "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T SUPPORT MORE LOCKDOWNS" made me give up on a lot of subreddit communities, especially the Los Angeles one. But yeah, the metastasization of Reddit's broad politics also made things worse.
I would say the benchmarks with lookup tables are bad. In the benchmark cpu will keep the table in cache but in a real program this cache would have to be shared with rest of the code/data. This would either kill the performance of cosine or rest of the app

Tried implementing the first example in Ruby but a benchmark showed that a simple if-case was faster.

I guess the RubyVM does a lot under the hood that hurts the performance like returning boolean true instead of the integer 1, which I have to solve by type

Monkeypatching is possible but adds more instructions to the vm anyways.
Curious if you really think there are people in the US Gov and military so callous as to be wasting Ukranian lives. I'm very removed from those circles, but it's so hard for me to imagine that there really are people like that and they really call the shots in our country / military.
Sweden had a 10x death rate for the first year of the pandemic vs its direct neighbors. That's the data published by Sweden, Norway, and Finland. You can ignore it if you want or just claim it's "highly politically motivated and extremely biased" because it's against what you want to believe. All Nordic countries did relatively well on death rate, that's why GBD have seized upon Sweden as a success story, but it was obviously worse than Norway and Finland.

When I talk with GBD proponents it always boils down to this: they won't believe the data and make up a variety of reasons why not to trust it, then they turn around and trust far worse analyses like the article comparing Sweden and non-Nordic countries with much worse obesity and far different systems (like the article comparing Sweden vs other EU).
I think the issue here is that whilst your site may have utility, it has zero original/unique content. To Google, this looks like a link farm.

You might argue that your discount price is "unique content" but good luck getting Google to understand that. Plus, I imagine those shoe names are competitive queries, which means you're up against paid ads. Further, I assume your discounts are time-sensitive, which means unreliable indexing is not a good solution for up-to-date pricing.

Classic trilemmas. Nice.

Scott McCloud's triangle for style of illustrations was a eureka moment for me. The tips are ideographic, textual, and realism (IIRC). All comics lie somewhere within that triangle (solution space). Mind blown.

There are many either-or tradeoffs: closer to the metal vs abstractions, explicit memory management vs garbage collectors, etc.

But there's probably also a few trilemmas, like functional vs imperative vs declarative.

Anywho. Just a casual notion. I'd love to see a big list of design decisions for programming languages.

Today's embarrassment of riches has reduced the enthusiasm for language jihads. But it'd still be nice to have something more than esthetics and vibes to guide our choices.
that's not true, "attention is all you need" presents a very complete model that is replicable.

I invite everyone to look through the financial reports to see who (read: car companies) contributed to the lobbying against the act.

For example, in just one of the reports (60th day), you may see $2.8 million from Honda, $4.1 million from Ford, and $5.1 million from GM.

You could also see who received the money. Or at least, I saw it in the reports in the past. The reports all seems to say "unitemized" now... PR companies sure are adept at distancing their names from negative sentiment, aren't they?
I didn't mean "in the USA", I meant globally. Many countries have over 90% of the population infected with TB. In the USA it's 33.4 million people infected with TB.
Possibly (but it's just a guess) it's about ads and/or data harvesting. If you access it via another app, they cannot get everything they're getting now.

As far as I am aware it is pretty rare for an artist to also be the rights holder. Typically "signing with a major record label" involves signing over the rights. Who then hold on to them or resell them. For example, Michael Jackson owned the rights to The Beatles so that 70% went to him\his estate not members of the band.
The same official experience? So they're going to take away user choice in which subreddits to read too?

Probably not. It's about money, not enforcing a uniform experience.
When lispers talk about lists, they are usually speaking about a very specific type of data structure - a linked list of cons cells[0]. Clojure's lists are not actual chains of cons, they are immutable hash array map tries. This means that Common Lisp code can't interoperate with Clojure code.

The precise/pedantic lisper may insist that since Lisp stands for List Processing and Lists are chains of cons cells and since Clojure doesn't have cons cells for the built-in lists, then Clojure is not a Lisp.

If, however, you view lisp (lower case) as a family of homo-iconic languages that use s-expressions, then Clojure happily fits under that umbrella.

The trick is to pay close attention to whether the person is talking about a Lisp (ANSI Common Lisp implementation) or a lisp (the family). Sometimes people say "lisp" when they are talking about "Lisp", which can cause some confusion.

This assumes that what's obvious now was obvious before, when it was first implemented. Actually that's central to the theme of Taleb's book The Black Swan: once something has been established it's very hard to think of it as being anything other than obvious. But the first time, it looked like a bad idea to most people.

The issue is that the admins only selectively enforce their rules, and are very ideologically driven at that (see the general rule of not allowing bans for other subreddit participation). This sets the tone for the moderation.

being the main author of crun, I can clarify that statement: I am not a fan of Go _for this particular use case_.

That small time developer who discussed paying millions also said it came out to $2.5/month on average[1]. Which actually isn't that bad for the service Reddit is providing

One of the problems mentioned in the many Reddit threads discussing the issue about Apollo, is that its creator was selling ULTRA LIFETIME MEMBERSHIPS[2]. Yes, they were charging people money, taking it, then using a free API to deliver paying members their value. The developer now feels he cannot charge lifetime members an extra $2.5/month because he promised them he wouldn't

Beyond the discussion of is Reddit about to die or not, selling LIFETIME access to someone elses free API is a dumb move, which will always end badly

I think Reddit charging $2.5/month for API access is more than fair

The nice thing about Reddit is that you can scroll down. Even if the top voted comments are garbage, you can just continue reading, and read answers from a very diverse audience, even if they are downvoted.

It's a lot more diverse than Twitter, where it seems that only right wing bullshit is shown any more, or HN, where 90% of posters are men aged 20-40.
