I'm pretty sure Lovecraft was at most a passing thought. The more immediate context would be the Putin's internet "AMA" in 2006[1], where "how do you feel about the awakening of Cthulhu" became a meme after becoming the second most popular question. Through the years, it and its associated memes like "fhtagn", "will devour brains", lost their connection with the origin and became a part of the background meme noise. (Compare it with how you don't think about /b/ any time your rickroll someone.)

Someone wrote the first murder mystery. It wasn't something we inherited from amoebas.

Someone wrote the first Regency romance. In fact, we know who it was - Georgette Heyer.

Someone invented calculus. We didn't get that passed down from the cave men via oral history or tribal knowledge.

We've dreamed of flying for millenia, but someone invented the first practical airplane - someone specific. Yes, they built on previous knowledge. But their step was still original. It had never been done before.

And so on, for idea after idea and original creation after original creation. They all originated at some time, with someone.
I have a Marantz receiver. They call this Dynamic EQ, and it seems to work quite well.
It also costs money to host instances. And I wonder how will we be able to monetize them. Will we have ad-supported and premium instances? Is that possible with Lemmy?

As much as people don’t like websites making their behavioural profiles and selling that data or advertising with it, most people are also not willing to pay for access to social media. There are many who would be willing, but will there be “critical-mass” many?

So it will be very interesting to see how the instances can be made self-sustainable. Right now (but correct me if I’m wrong), I think it doesn’t make financial sense to run one. People can do this for a while to support “the movement”, but I wonder what happens when “the movement” is over.
The port forwarding feature was abused heavily. I understand and support their decision to remove it, as it improves the reputation of their IP addresses
For me, I browse through the GitHub UI and I also keep local copies of Zig (for various releases) so I can `git grep` and glance through lib/std/mem.zig or lib/std/array_list.zig or (as in this post) lib/std/json/static.zig.

I'm not saying it works for everyone but frankly, like motiejus it sounds, I don't mind the minor challenge of being forced to read source code.

In the 1980s, to get around compulsory purchase orders able to take land from even the most determined charity, campaigners split up a field into a few thousand small parcels, sold on for a pound or two. The idea being that trying to get them all back would be unaffordable, even the most corrupt charity would be unable to sell the land.

I think we're already past the point of no return. Almost every active codebase in the world (at least the JS part of it) has been tainted by LLM generated code at this point if dependencies count.

If courts decided the output of LLMs trained on GPL code was subject to GPL, all the active code in the world would need to be released - which seems impossible to enforce.

Not entire sure about the first part about letting people know how to subscribe to an rss feed because people who decide to use an RSS reader probably know already how to use it since it's a somewhat technical tool but still, probably doesn't hurt to provide extra info.

Zig lets you explicitly specify `defer` handlers but it doesn't have any way for having implicit/automatic defer handles. So, for example, you can do reference counting in Zig either completely manually or a little less manually with `defer`. But you can't do C++-style smart pointers where you don't need to specify any `defer` and automatically have cleanup run at the end of the block/function.

So much these discussions are pointless arguments over things we aren't even bothering to define in the discussion.

One person says "write code" in the context of chatGPT and they mean Common Lisp and chatGPT3.5

Someone else says "write code" and they mean React components and chatGPT4.

It is a mirror to how imprecise and intellectually lazy our own language and minds have become in the context of online discussion. Compressed thinking in order to fit in a twitter box along with years of being rewarded with attention the more muddled the thinking since the more people that disagree with the point the more responses it will generate.

It is like we have been running a giant language miscommunication RLHF model and the end result is an incredibly accurate system at creating miscommunication.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "had a mobile phone." I had one--probably from sometime in the 90s. But until I got a Treo in 2006, it was something I only used for specific purposes like if I was running an activity and I wanted people to be able to reach me. It wasn't something I carried with me.

(But, certainly, by the early 2000s a fair number of people expected others to be immediately reachable by cell.)
The System Makes Patients Sick and CEOs Rich
indeed, I guess we will see if your novel legal theory holds true, it doesn't seem like plenty of legal cases support your position after all (which I guess is why you couldn't cite any cases)

> the idea of WARN and severance packages is to provide employees with a limited amount of pay to assist in transition to a new job, traditionally it is one or the other not both

the idea that these 2 legal rights "traditionally" cancelled each other out when workers were legally entitled to both seems ridiculous and entirely made up (which I guess is why you couldn't cite any cases)

it certainly seems like the objective truth has been clouded for someone, and statistically speaking, it's unlikely to be "everyone but you". Maybe leave elmu out of it if you're trying to make the case that other people are the ones obsessed with him? :)
Speaking of YouTube, I wonder if Google will get into the game.

The recent blackout has shown that Google search is kind of reliant on Reddit - a lot of top links go to Reddit. I mean Google Search will adapt if Reddit vanishes but why deal with Reddit as a middle man at all?

Google can start its own "Reddit". They already have scalable forum software in the form of the YouTube comment system. Heck, they can even copy YouTube's operating philosophy:

- poster of content moderates their own content's comment section; reduce concentration of power in the hands of a few mods

- comments have a score, users don't; avoids the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive" scenario ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive_(Black_Mirror) )

- frontpage is controlled by algorithm; no "subreddits"

- downvotes are hidden to everyone include the user being downvoted

They will make money by displaying ads as usual - serving text has got to be way way cheaper than video.

Hexagonal architecture is great when you learn to separate domain logic from application logic.

Domain logic can be in your entity classes or in separate service classes next to them, but it's still the model.

The controller then deals with application logic: get the data, apply domain logic, save the data, send out notifications, pass the update to the view.

I would love this to be true, but I'm afraid you cannot change the psychology of the people like this.

You could argue that ESG is already nudging companies into this direction. But now you have directed capital flow for non-standardized goals. It is still outside of democratic control and under control of the largest cooperations on earth.

There are tabacco companies which have an ESG score higher than Tesla...

The problem is not the growth. Is the increasing wealth discrepency. "Too big to fail" should be "too big to exist".

And no, I am very anti-marxist.
I agree, the stdlib is confusing here. A safe rule is just to add the extra context in the caller unless you know the callee adds it. The worst that can happen is you include the file path multiple times and things get noisy.

Well... after fairly long experience, we have discovered that your standard is mostly adequate for human generated code (as long as it's not going into a critical system). That may be based on the (empirically collected) statistics of how human-generated code fails - that if it's wrong, it usually either "looks" wrong or obviously fails.

GPT-produced code may have different failure statistics, and therefore the human heuristic may not work for GPT-produced code. It's too early to tell.
It seems to be a widespread misconception amongst commercial VPN users that port forwarding is required for torrents to work. While port forwarding can be beneficial in certain situations, as you said, it's certainly not a requirement, especially for well seeded torrents like I'm sure the large majority of people are downloading.
By the way, Cayman has pretty substantial taxes. We operate a thriving country with no national debt and a great social safety net.

We just charge them differently. There’s an effective 22% consumption tax (with carve-outs for basics), levied on all imports and increased on luxuries. We have 7% taxes on all property transfers (for both income and to minimize house flipping). We have a ton of fees on any government interaction which aligns regulatory burdens with income.

I would also disagree with that, but maybe not as much as the other guy.

I had the pleasure of being able to use Haskell "in anger" for about a year. Still my favorite language to toy around with, but would not want to use it for work again.

One take away is that half of the time Haskell code "just works". You write algorithms as you think they should be and often the resulting binary is "good enough™".

The other half you spend in the trenches hunting down memory leaks because some thunk was not evaluated and your program is amassing unevaluater expressions until it dies :-)
> RSS is alive and well and mainstream with podcasts.

Spotify (and other big players) are doing their best to end this.

As many as one in four podcast listeners currently use spotify to listen. The growing number of spotify-only podcasts are not available via RSS. Most of the listened-to podcasts may also be available as RSS, but the listeners wouldn't know either way. Spotify's goal is to be the chokepoint for podcasts.

Spotify isn't the only one. The way to make money on podcasts is by being the distribution platform, and by locking people in with non-open standards.
As I understand it, the terms of the donation cannot survive forever (although they can for a very long time).

It's not wrong...
This is a cycle we can expect for any platform that has the bills. Hosting is not free. Storage is not free. Bandwidth is not free. Labor to fix bugs and develop features is not free. So this constant expectation that it should all be free (or even cheap) is not a realistic world view. We joke about the fact that "the cloud" isn't real, it's just someone else's computer. But isn't that kinda the basis of the current delusion? "We want to have complete freedom, be completely safe, get the features we want, have it for free and... don't bother me with any advertisement".
I would add the "-print0" option in find that causes it to output null separated file names. And the companion "-0" flag in things like xargs, perl, tar, etc...to parse them.

A service degradation sufficiently severe that tomorrow/Monday morning we'll have developers taken away from whatever they are working on to diagnose and fix the problem — whether that's a proper fix, an automated workaround, or a change in the monitoring system to reduce the severity of this problem from 'emergency'.

I took on a role with lots of outage alerts happening, at least a couple of times a week. I think my predecessor liked to play hero, by reporting every day or two what he'd 'fixed' (restarted) the previous evening/night. We had almost all of them fixed within a couple of months.

I heard about this long ago, and understood it to be a thought experiment, if an ominous one.

And I was shocked to hear reports that it was "real" and "live" in the C compiler (which one? GNU?)

But I'm not sure if I believe this; could Ken still be pulling our leg at this point?

What is the nature of the malware or backdoor? How is it accessed? What does it do? Does it grant root privileges to an unprivileged user? Does it execute untrusted code? Does it open a socket for a RAT? Does it work under Windows? MacOS? Android?

Is Ken keeping mum about the nature and capabilities of the backdoor so he still has leverage?

If this is true, it's a security concern about the size of Intel's IME, don't you think?
I find it hilarious that people think it's a great idea to migrate from Reddit to Discord.
