It would be interesting to see Facebook Groups divorce from Facebook itself. Maybe allow people to login using an Instagram or Whatsapp identity, or better yet an independent login.

I don't really want my group activity to be linked to my Facebook identity for tracking/advertising purposes.
Have you tried ESP-NOW[0]?

It's been a while since I used it but from what I remember it works really well between ESP devices and you can certainly do a many to one/gateway approach. The range and power consumption is outstanding all things considered.

I understand the appeal of dark mode - to reduce eye strain, especially in dim environment.
I suggest to not read your screen at all in the bedroom. It is the best down time for one's mind.
Maybe I have undiagnosed eye problem. If the dark mode has a strong contrast with text, I see shadow/aura for minutes. It doesn't happen if the contrast is reduced nor in non-dark mode. I wonder if anyone has similar problem?
C++ extended the Java memory model to include atomics, and everyone else copied the C++ atomics memory model.

Basically, it goes:

* Original data-race-free model (early 90s)

* Java 5 memory model (~2004-5) [first incorporated into the programming language, as I'm aware]

* C++0x memory model (finalized 2007-2008, IIRC) [added atomics]

* Compilers build their internal intrinsics on top of C++0x, sans consume

* Everyone else adopts either the C++ memory model as is, or without consume

(Sibling comment notes that Java 9 backports the atomics from C++).
What's comical is when people assume that upending established financial systems, such as centuries-old fiat currencies and banks, should be a walk in the park. Such transformation doesn't merely involve introducing a disruptive technology, but necessitates overcoming many legal and societal challenges.

If you'd have told anyone in 2009 that an open source decentralized currency would eventually become a trillion dollar market, or that it would be recognized as legal tender in some countries, no one would have believed you. Yet here we are with people complaining about how it hasn't yet obsoleted the US dollar.
FWIW while i also found Petersen's maps on the weird side geometrically, at the same time i think they were among the most interesting to play (both in Doom and Quake) as he often tried to come up with various gameplay tricks and traps to break the "mold".

His Quake maps especially give me the impression that he was more into trying to come up with ideas on what is possible for the player to do in the freedom allowed in 3D space than how to make a good looking environment (especially in Quake's theme that didn't really have to conform to any realistic constrains and could have shapes floating in space, physically impossible architectures or whatever).
Suppose I would pick K=2 though. What would happen then?

It's true that there are dynamic imports, but presumably it would be on the library maintainer to know about that, but also you could throw a catchable error about GIL imports or something like that.

All I'm saying is that it's solvable, and more solvable than 2 to 3.
I hope the admins of reddit will start taking control of the closed subs and opening them up. The content of each one of those subs has been written by the users and it makes no sense that a handful of mods are taking the content and holding it hostage by keeping the subs private. If I were a contributor to one of those subs (for example by posting answers to programming questions) I would be fuming.
I think it's way more banal than that. Think someone in HR asking it for format a list of salaries. Boring stuff.
>using their monitor at a brightness set too high for their environment

That's rather dismissive and ablest.
I need high contrast. Dark background and bright text allow me to view the content. Screen brightness plays a role here too, but it's used to enhance the contrast, not compete against it.
I think we need a federated facebook replacement and a federated image server, but I don't know how to go about building this myself.
You're citing an exception as if it was the rule.

But even in this case, I don't have two representations of the same object. Rather I have two different object:

Account (persisted)

SignupRequest (not persisted)

The SignupRequest is used to create the Account

The signup form on the UI is about editing the SignupRequest object. This object will be sent from the UI code to the backend as-is. The backend code will use it as-is (ignoring the json encoding/decoding).

There's a code path in the backend that takes SignupRequest and uses it to create a new Account.

white backgrounds can be very hard to use or distracting to people with floaters in their eyes. dark mode makes concentration possible.
This is a very stupid question - but can someone explain what the "interest rates" and "no more free money" replies mean? Is it because reddit isn't profitable so relies on constant money supply from investors? Or is it something else
As usual, looks good on papier but no ecosystem and the current stack that it comes with is dead on arrival.

Boards need to come with mainstream distro support or with an ecosystem (or both), otherwise it will just die. And with internet connected devices, you can't set-and-forget, so it needs to have live support.

Edit: a RockPi S (same SoC) can be had for $35 and a touch LCD for $11... Granted, it doesn't come with the same integration and headers, and doesn't have a microphone by default, and no RISC-V MCU. But the point of integration is a useful product that stays useful, and it doesn't if there is no ecosystem.

As for 'adding' mainstream support, it takes quite some effort and active ownership. Out of the many rockchip boards and add-ons this is the set that made it to some level of standard inclusion: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm...
I spend more time on a bicycle , including commuting , and ride a motorcycle regularly. The two hobbies complement each other well. The riding experience and maintenance skills are complementary .

Motorcycles naturally offer more range for explanation and carry more load . i use mine to discover new routes and destinations and later hit them on the bike

Motorcycle handling requires similar techniques and the mindfulness that is developed on a bike . Though handling doesn’t translate 1:1– an expert cyclist will quickly develop expert moto handling – especially off road

Maintenance has similar parallels. Bike maintenance is a great intro to moto maintenance . Troubleshooting , understanding systems , experimentation , observation , patience , using hand tools etc
are all skills that are foundational for motorcycle maintenance

I would encourage every cyclist to take on motorcycle riding . Motorcycling benefits from a similar mindset and expands on the skills and experiences
You're confused. Cheese can be regulated not because it's practical to block it from being distributed. It isn't, and if you prohibited it you will create a black market.

Only after you've created the black market through prohibition, does regulation then become impossible.

Every single bad thing you can think of about drugs isn't caused by the drugs at all, but by the prohibition. And the few exceptions to this that someone might find... those rare bad things not caused by prohibition itself aren't actually reduced by prohibition. They still happen anyway. The junkie who is ruining his relationship with family still does so today.
TIL that ublock lets you inject CSS. I've been using tampermonkey for that (most recently to fix the mspace tags on ncatlab.org).
Is that really the case though? I think most people do understand that it is largely a non-human automated process that figures out what to show them. I asked someone else what the labeling really gets you, but your argument seems to be that the transparency is an end in and of itself.

So what about just a general disclosure that this service relies on automated recommendations?

> Those are symptoms of underlying issues from someone who shouldn't be using such services in the first place. Protecting people from their own mental and moral malleability and ignorance is futile, as there will always be an issue to be resolved.

Why is the blame on people for what is made available to them? This wouldn't be 'protecting people from their own mental and moral malleability,' this would be preventing others from making this which abuse those malleability for profit.

The same type of argument you have made here could be made for legalizing ponzi schemes. People _should_ know that there is no quick rich scheme and the history of these schemes are full of fraudsters. Is it wrong to ban this type of abuse because their victims made the choice to engage in the first place?

And, to preempt the "ponzi schemes are different" response, I ask for a response of this type to qualify it with how those differences matter.

- If it is in legality, that only applies until a law is made about addiction-intended media and is circular (it is wrong because it is legal <--> it is legal because it is wrong).

- If the difference is in the intent of the ones perpetrating it, both perpetrate primarily for monetary gain. I don't believe a ponzi-scheme's primary intent is ever malicious (with the qualifier that I'm not assuming pursing monetary gain is malicious in of itself), nor do I believe this about social media.

- If it is the directness of ponzi schemes in their fraud versus social media, I don't view that is very relevant... I think it would be reasonable to not blame someone for being the proximal cause of an issue if they didn't know beforehand, but the abusers in this case know by now that they are at _least_ a proximal cause.

It's not really about security in terms of attacking the site.

It's purely about IP protection and potentially leaking user/employee data. Any data you give one of these chat bots can potentially be regurgitated by the bot later.

We have the same kind of policies at my megacorp company. We can't even use things like chrome extensions that will let you paste in data to parse json or things like that.
You’re absolutely correct, and there’s privacy concerns for Apple in the spec, e.g. the users info is now sent with transactions.

EDIT: Throttled on new comments

I agree: I'd take up more detailed Qs with the article writer & spec/proposal, they seem sure its different.

I also agree if the new proposal is the same as the old proposal, it does seem likely Apple would implement it.

I don't understand why the W3C would make a new proposal that was the same as the old one, but...forget it Jake, it's ̶C̶h̶i̶n̶a̶t̶o̶w̶n̶ web specs.

Correct. The article is about a new standard.
That's all well and good for now, but surely you can see that old.reddit.com is likely also on the chopping block?
That's because you are doing it wrong. You'll need to split every step of your data science pipeline into a microservice, then put it in the cloud for resilience. Then the application will be so fast that it is no longer CPU bound but I/O bound.
But those people are also generating a large amount of the content that is being used to monetize users.
Honestly, you are giving too much credit for these guys. It was purely brute force
Because as an industry, we are bad at our jobs. The network facing software has critical security vulnerabilities. Even security folks accept that as the way of the world.

At the point the software is released it has (hopefully) no known security vulnerabilities, which is a reasonably secure situation to be in.

However, eventually some of them will become known, and that is not safe.

Actually I bought Reddit coins at some point (to give Awards) and I'm bothered by this. Hopefully Lemmy will be an alternative or maybe Reddit folks will change their mind. Obviously I'm okay with paying for services in principle but I think it requires that it's voluntary and affordable.

That said, the Reddit Web Frontend is not exactly the best. I've used - and paid - for a native Reddit client actually (Stellar). The app will be sunsetted though.
I think it's largely a matter of taste, although there are people for whom bright interfaces cause accessibility issues.

Personally, I can't stand light-on-dark interfaces and turn them off wherever I can, although that may be because I have an astigmatism and dark interfaces supposedly cause problems (although I'm not convinced that's the reason in my case).
This is actually really nice advice on the bisecting the commit log.

Reddit addicts gonna reddit.
Awesome stuff - this is the kind of high-level thinking I love to see. I think your "do one thing and do it well" focus is commendable, and the subjective choices you've taken to get there are all A+ to me. This isn't turning out to be a very useful comment but wanted to let you know that someone who's also thinking about abstract frameworks for agent ensembles thinks you're right on the money.

A bit busy right now but will probably try to contribute if I can! I know very little about the low-level workings of Python and whatever the "GIL" is, but my single-process ensemble ended up using `AsyncIO` instead of `Thread` because of difficulty running a Flask server in a child thread; do you know if that would fix your CPU blocking concerns? Mostly asking so I know if I have the same problems and just haven't discovered them yet lol

One very subjective opinion: The README is great but very long - I would consider putting either/both of the code samples from the bottom at the top, so someone experienced with the basic concepts can take a quick look and understand the gist immediately. Your language at the top is of course all accurate, but it's such an abstract project that even an accurate description leaves a lot of questions, IMO.

P.S. I can't believe you got the github username "operand" that's sick
"Hackers like dark modes"

Not all programmers like dark mode. Some people with astigmatism have problems with dark mode.

Dark Mode Isn’t ‘Easier on the Eyes’ for Everybody (2019) https://www.vice.com/en/article/ywyqxw/apple-dark-mode-eye-s...

Extract:

> As Gizmodo wrote in 2014, citing research by the Sensory Perception and Interaction Research Group, at University of British Columbia, white backgrounds act as a "crutch" for astigmatic eyes: "People with astigmatism (approximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white."
> Hackers like dark modes.

Certainly not all hackers like dark modes. But I doubt anyone would object to such a thing existing as an option.
I haven't seen people mention it really, but isn't this all in response to ChatGPT deriving a lot of it's content from Reddit?

I know that Google search has gotten so bad in the last couple years that I normally have to add "reddit" to the search terms to get a good result.
Yeah hair spray/glue stick and bed leveling lol. I bought an auto bed leveler and still can't get anything to stick/not curl up towards the nozzle.

Yes, I just saw the r/StarTrek migration, and visited Lemmy for the 3rd time or so this week, and quite frankly, I could drop reddit entirely now, if I knew how to find communities. I feel some real hacker/dev excitement for the future of Lemmy.
Say you're implementing quick-sort, and you're checking the pivot value like this:

if (array.len() >= 2) {
let pivot = array[array.len() / 2];
...
}

Those brackets could panic, if the index was out of bounds! Of course you can tell locally from the code that it can't be out of bounds. But if you're really not allowed to have panics (and equivalently array accesses with square brackets, as those can panic), then you have to write this code instead:

if (array.len() >= 2) {
let pivot = match array.get(array.len() / 2) {
Some(pivot) => pivot,
None => return Err(InternalQuicksortError("bad index somehow")),
};
...
}

You do this all over your codebase and it gets hard to read very quickly!

The conjecture was that Apple wouldn’t support the new standard because it would give an “app like experience”.

The closest similarity we have is that Apple supported the existing payment standard relatively early on.

> massive, irresponsible companies to do psychological experiments on billions of people without transparency or culpability

Exactly. While measuring and optimizing for monetization, completely ignoring and willing to sacrifice individual mental health, and society in general. The division and mass brainwashing we are experiencing do have a cost - that happens to be an external used one from the perspective of the content distribution / advertising platforms.

At this point people are openly being lied that a significant part of the population are groomers and pedophiles which 100% targets blind destructive unconditional rage and unreconcileable division. For the benefit of distraction, political division and engagement.

We need a force to limit the effects of the infinite cynicism of the people doing the brainwashing. We could at least not auto-amplify their voices.
