Coyld you name a few of those "many"?

Scandinavia, Germany and down to the metiterranean and everything east of incl. Croatia I think it's all shoes off?
I live in the southern U.S. so, no they're not being persecuted here. They still like to act like it though. It's annoying.
You actually can bend organ pipes (called "mitering"), and they will still work.

You can even have multiple bends to snake it up and down.
> Out of the millions of decorative world maps on walls, kids with maps to learn the world, world maps on the news, maps used in data visualization charts etc., non of those are using the map for "navigation" yet they still use Mercator projection simply because "that's the right shape of the world" regardless of what "right" means

I question what percentage of those maps in reality are actually Mercator? I feel this is one of those strawman memes that mercator is everywhere, when in practice it feels relatively rare to actually encounter it.
I bought a couple globes in the last year and am glad I did.

I bought this small one for my desk (16$): https://www.waypointgeographic.com/p/gyroglobe-antique – every so often I rotate it slightly so that I'm staring at a different part of the globe when I look below my monitor.

I bought this one for the dining room (50$): https://www.waypointgeographic.com/p/little-adventurer-globe – the kids can spin it around whenever we talk about a country.
Took me years to finally push this culture. The designers no longer try to get away with designs that are too difficult (read: pricey) to achieve, and developers have to keep their skills sharp resulting in less blame and a more competent skillset. Then the designers and developers who thought it was part of the culture to never work together nicely were immediately noticed and shown the door.
Teaspoons aren't particularly common in the US. If you do need to stir a beverage or add sugar, you typically use a tablespoon.
What was the AI software?
> Literally any random sequence of events is a story. That doesn't have any bearing on it being true or false.

The author didn't say any set of events is true or false. He's remarking on how people want a story to explain things, which is what Hollywood thrives on.

And how things that don't easily lend themselves to a story tend to be ignored.
I think... flipping it around a bit, for this to be a reasonable response, then it must be a grave threat to humanity, and you want to be really sure. It's rational to be wary of beliefs that lead you to drastic actions like this, as people have done bad things in history in the name of fear.

But it's also very possible that such an instinct, to doubt yourself, could be what dooms us. I really don't want it to be true, that AI is such a threat that drastic action like you mentioned is necessary (probably minus the solitary confinement thing for AI researchers -- if you can control the chips, and give them a stern warning not to do AI research backed up by penalties, we're probably fine). It's terrifying if we're facing something that will end us, and the only option is to essentially go scorched earth on computers. People will naturally recoil from the idea that AI is such a threat, BECAUSE it would warrant an extreme response. Regardless of whether it is actually a threat or not.

If AI does not have the potential to doom us, that's great. If we take drastic action and it wasn't going to doom us, however, that's very regrettable--this is what most of us worry about. But if it does pose an extinction threat, and we don't take it seriously, that's even more regrettable. I think the latter option is far more likely at this point, just based on human nature and our tendency to poke the bear.

I've basically reached the point where I don't know what I could possibly do, and I'm pretty much shut down. I'm trying very hard every day not to think about this, but as you can see from the fact that I'm typing about this, I don't always succeed. I'm just trying to enjoy what may be the last few years I have left with my family before the world goes nuts.

But anyway, except for punishing people unnecessarily as I mentioned above, I think that what you suggested is reasonable.
You don't see any potential First Amendment problems with that?

Or, you don't see any problems with a presidential candidate who advocates stomping all over the First Amendment?
Frankly none of the Linux content creators are that good at Linux. Or maybe I discount what 18 years of experience with it does to a person but LTT is constantly saying stuff that makes me cringe, even Luke.

Well. Reading legal contracts is definitely brain burning. I have talked to lawyers about the AI contract summary idea as well. Probably you want to start with some standard simple contract targeting individual customers first.

This (SELinux) is why I started using RH-family OSs more and more, and one of a few reasons why I stick with it, even though Debian's minimalism is incredibly nice. I have a book (as yet unopened) on my desk about SELinux administration, but it's huge and CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, et al. Just Work (okay, with the occasional small tweak to policies or booleans).
Your original comment made it seem like you had read the bills you were accusing others of not understanding as well as you, so I was giving you an opportunity to lay out some evidence or make an argument.

> It's ultra common in many european countries. I've got one friend where the rule at his house his "shoes off" but most others keep their shoes inside.

IME it's not common in european countries but guests tend to not be required (though it's usually appreciated), hosts usually won't provide slippers, it's not standard to bring your own (though it's often appreciated), and you won't be required to walk in socks.
Huh, curious that the news site of the public broadcaster of the country doesn't clarify that Bern is the de facto but not dejure capital city...

As Wikipedia says:
> Bern is referred to as "federal city" (German: Bundesstadt, French: ville fédérale, Italian: città federale). Swiss law does not designate a capital as such, but the federal parliament and government are installed in Bern, while other federal institutions, such as the federal courts, are in other cities (Bellinzona, Lausanne, Luzern, Neuchâtel, St. Gallen a.o.).
> Tubi is the largest free movie and TV streaming service in the US. Unfortunately, we're not currently available in your area.

> Netflix is available in over 190 countries around the world. Each country has its own catalog of original and licensed TV shows and movies. The country on your account can't be changed unless you move to a new one.

I think maybe this has something to do with it.
A tree is not a clique.
yeah, I think it would be an interesting discussion topic. Especially if you could show the 6th figure from that post (the one showing the 7,500km distortion). It just depends on how you put it. OPs remarks were condescending as if the only reason to bring this up is "because of size hang ups" as oppose to "bring this up to question your own basic wrong assumptions about the world"

It's far from common knowledge or a well known fact that the only reason the World Map looks the way it looks is just an arbitrary projection type that's picked for equally arbitrary reasons. Because as I mentioned, compass navigation is hardly the only map use-case. It may have originally started that way in the 1,200s or whatever, but today we use maps for all sorts of visualizations and other things. And the assumption that "Mercator projection" is the "right" shape of the world is held by most not because they have "size hang ups" but because it's just the way it is. Just like any assumption you hold that you never question because there is no reason to question it really.
> Soo, your dell laptop died, and you decided to checkout how far away an Apple Store was? That's a very odd thing to do.

Since I am comparing the two, it's not odd in the slightest. You're just trying to "gotcha" me without responding to the substance of my claim. To reiterate, making customers drive to an Apple store that is probably a fair distance away is substandard service. Having a repair technician come to you is the standard by which Apple's service should be judged. If Dell can do it, so could Apple. (I never buy upgraded service contracts, the Dell service was standard.)

And again, 30 minute bus ride to get to the Apple store in Seattle of all places. There is no Apple store in downtown Seattle. Apple Stores are a bad joke.
I'd recommend not using ubuntu, but instead gp with either Proxmox or bog standard debian. Proxmox supports using the zfs pool as storage for vms and using zfs as root disk also. Debian won't help you do the install with zfs on root but it can be done. If you don't go with zfs on root then it's as simple as apt insall zfs-dkms on debian.
How does this compare to Zeplin? We currently use this for both design commenting by clients but our devs love it too.
This low key sounds like the environment in my high school XD.

> had a cohort of students who had entirely been through AP Calc, but fitting into the explanations expected for HS meant making somewhat bogus algebra based explanations

Yep. I remember that. We had the same problem as well in our class so our teacher spent that month prior to the exams teaching us Econ the Wrong/College Board Way.

> I was forced to give the very simple 2 person payoff matrix form and leave the topic there

Yep, I remember that too. A bunch of us were CS/Applied Math bound so we ended up expanding further on Optimization Theory and Game Theory via competitive math exams or working with our supportive AP Calc and E&M teachers who taught us how to hone knowledge in both concepts using math.
This is also more or less my mental model of how Reddit operated. I thought their leadership understood this too. The only thing that makes sense to me is they've run the numbers and have decided the meme-consumption / infinite scroll users are more than enough to keep the lights on, and they believe they'll save money by kicking their power users off the platform.
Rocky and Alma are doing exactly what CentOS pre-Stream did for _six_ years. Now they're frustrated that their decision to kill the CentOS idea didn't stick?

Red Hat might have the legal right to gate their product, but it seems really slimy to build RHEL on the work of who knows how many people that publish it for free and then to put road blocks around their derivative.

I don't really like reductionist blaming, but I feel basically forced to wonder what Red Hat would be doing if IBM wasn't involved.

We are running opentelemetry collector in production for about a year now.

Overal I am very happy with it.
I would recommend it.

Good:
- I like that with Otel you can build a vendor agnostic architecture. By that I mean you could easily swap visualization tool and you are not depending on a vendors own agent.
- It works.
- lots of plugins, receivers, processors and exporters.
- run it as deployment or run it also as agent you can get k8 metrics.

Cons:
- Documentation can be improved. There is the website and then is their GitHub repo. To me it feels like the website only explains the architecture and some components, but to implement it you need to read the readme and values.yml in the GitHub repo from the various receivers and exporters.
- for some it this might be a con. It doesn’t have a ui. Like Calyptia Core

I haven’t tried the auto instrumentation. That is still on the to do list.
This is a very valid point. However, the gold:<random currency> markets have been extremely liquid and somewhat transparent for the past thousand years. In the dark ages there was no way for someone to move the *global* gold:wheat chart by 50% just by executing shadowy trades at a single marketplace. Of course this is because medieval markets lacked a great deal of information synchronization, but it was also because medieval markets were actually decentralized.
My thoughts exactly lol

One of my favorites was when a designer decided to use a grid system completely independent of what was going to be used in development. No time left to redesign, so the designers had to live with whatever the devs could make happen in the time allotted.

What I said does not occur is finding oneself in a situation where someone is about to die and the only available food that can save their life is junk food.

In the analogous situation, someone is just about to die of loneliness and the only available loneliness-solver is chatbots – also something that does not occur.

Yes, in both of these highly improbable situations, saving the life comes above long term health considerations. But that is not a good point.

> cultural reasons for removing shoes are respected though

...And of course, when you read a bit further, you realize that this kind of person doesn't understand the decision because there ought to be some kind of domestic fixing their mess.

I think you misunderstood. It was a powerpoint with images in it, not a wireframe. It show how site navigation worked, which was a huge improvement... minus having to dig the images out one at a time. :D

At least they didn't use document links with absolute paths. Macs don't have have a C:\Documents and Settings\Clueless\ folder. Encountered that a few times in my career.
Awesome! Now I only need to find a sensible use for a giant pipe organ at home.
Wait, so the idea that I've used for years, which is deriving meaning of a word based on context clues around how its used in a sentence, is a sham?

I have been doing this my whole life nearly, at this point. This hits me hard for some reason. And I tested in the top percentiles for reading too! (in 1997, 2004, and 2008)

EDIT: I may be completely misunderstanding this here. Are you saying using context for word pronunciation or for trying to derive meaning?

Is this the same Pueyo who shaped Covid response through “the hammer and the dance”? People still consider this guy relevant?!?
I guess. I'm allowed to disagree. But I do think that asking for "links" for user feedback when hundreds of subs are rebelling is indeed concern trolling.

But no, there was no formal poll that took into account response bias and made use of proper stratification and randomization to ensure a fair survey. Some bigger subs did ask "what do we do" and some subs went with the idea of the most upvoted comment, a common tactic in reddit.

This was r/pics's "poll": https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q/poll_decide_o...

It is not scientific, so you can easily dismiss it. But I think that is the wrong angle to look at something that is ultimately trying to say "yes, a lot of people who decided to vote/comment do want this to happen". You can use the casual browser as points for or against them, because they are simply in for the ride if they don't speak up.

>Reddit is private for profit company, owns platform and content and acts to maximize long term profit.

yes, and I as a (former) user do not care about coporate's goals. I wanted an easy, feature filled UX and have asked for features for almost a decade. Almost none of them came about, so I used extensions and alternative apps that provided them

Reddit's reaction was to

- take away features provided by extensions to fit into a subscription model. No, I do not think it is worth $5/month to be able to see new comments highlighted. I simply found a new extension when RES removed the features

- only add in a few features when literally all hell broke
loose (remember why we can filter subreddits on r/all now? What does that teach me? that I need to break the rules and inconvinence users if I want change? Good lesson, actually.)

- ignore 90% of other asked for features. Some of which could have helped right now if they did so (Oh, I wonder why NSFW can't diffentiate between violence, gore, sexual content, and foul language?).

- And now they repeat this tactic by removing more alternatives while refusing to implement user centric features.

No one asked for a video player and it sucks anyway. No one wanted the ignore feature to be removed while the block feature to actively disrupt conversation on the whim of an arbiturary individual. No one at all wanted NFTs for a profile pic (old reddit doesn't even have proile pics).

It's rent-seeking, and I do not respect the tactic. Even if I never used 3p apps I'd be against reddit because historically they have never attempted to act in my interest. I am not respected so why should I care about how they make money?
Hm. Page loads fine for me in Firefox. Has for years (unlike google maps itself where oddly I get blocked for their 3d mode, even when that same mode works fine on earth.google.com)

If you're on Linux, maybe check your drivers, or do webgl.force-enabled layers.acceleration.force-enabled ?
Interesting. I think I typically must have specific things I'm looking for. Like for example, I probably wouldn't look up "pet sweaters", but WOULD look up something like "canada pooch dog sweater". Which, takes me past all the seo-ad-targeted junk.

And now, the more I think about it, I'm typically using amazon's search for zeroing on something specific. I wouldn't even do "car charger for phone", but would do something like "Anker USB-C Charger for Pixel 6a".

And likely, most items I'm going for I'd be referred to from a site, like America's Test Kitchen or something.

In short, I guess I don't "search for discoverability" on Amazon at all, and that's how I stay out of their optimized mess.

EDIT: I also don't really purchase things that aren't independently reviewed elsewhere, like using ATK for some kitchen items, etc...
Fair enough, my point is more broadly that some standard would need to apply a la Twitch/YouTube/etc. You can't be racist, you can't credibly threaten people, and so on.

Turning moderators into content creators (content curators) and connecting them more directly to their advertisers is the general idea.
> The voice is the only instrument where you can "play" (sing) what note you think.

More often than not it is:

The voice is the only instrument where you think you "play" (sing) what note you are thinking of.

With other instruments it is much easier to notice to be wrong.
SFML 2.6.0 Released
You didn't miss much. It's one of those "we took s reddit comment and two facts and turned that into a medium to carry ads" articles.
To reverse that question, what do you gain by defining a `read` and `write` API over that memory segment?

Because if you just add some high-level interface without any concern for performance, yeah, you get what Linux does today. But if you make them a core concern of your shared memory interface, you will certainly lose performance on the cases it's mapped as memory. And "everything is a file, but this one here is actually all about random access" doesn't give you much abstraction.

As somebody already said on the comments, the nice (maybe IMO, I'm not sure) thing about Plan9 is that every resource is named somewhere in a tree. The fact that those things are "files" only detracts from the value and makes the system less fit for modern usage.
I dunno, I'm a game programmer and it seems a bit too much for me personally.
I just John Carmack it, and always do the simplest thing for me as the dev. If the benchmarks arent fit for purpose¹ then I will look at profiler to see what lowest hanging fruit is to optimise. I'm not gonna guess what is slow, I am not a computer, I only just look at profiler.

Do you have a standing desk? I find that standing in socks, barefoot, or even in indoor slippers is very fatiguing for my feet when standing for hours--so fatiguing in fact that I have a pair of indoor-only new balances, and only use them for standing at my desk inside my "home office". I wonder if there are any alternatives that are even healthier for my feet while avoiding foot/standing fatigue.
Yes and no. Waze provides data points to Google Maps that it wouldn't otherwise have. Like crashes, objects on road, cars pulled over, police speed traps, etc. Waze users provide that data, and Google Maps gets to display it for free. The day when that data input capability is merged into Google Maps completely is when Waze will be shut down and the user experience will slowly be enshitified.
