The positive of using the receiver is that the receiver is also usually the AV switch determining what device is actually active. Otherwise you're having to change what device you're paired with when you change inputs.

Also, I haven't been shopping for things like Blu-Ray players and Rokus/Fire TVs/other media boxes in a while, do things like that really do Bluetooth pairing?

It's not just "average users" that don't find it easy. It's just more complicated - for everyone.

Or maybe due to cellphones, email, IRC, AOL, ICQ and whatever else were there?

It would be kinda strange to "let's meet in 15 minutes at the corner of ... / AFK" and then find a payphone to.. tell exactly that again?
Indeed, I think it's temporary thing. I will add chatgpt moderation.
Yeah. I'd put the date about ten years earlier. You're pre-Web. You may have a cell phone (as an adult) but you probably don't carry it around with you all the time. You may well have a home computer but any dial-up connection is probably a BBS (commercial or otherwise) rather than internet. You probably have email and most of your friends probably do as well.

Early 90s is probably when things start to look fairly alien from a technology and communications perspective. There are probably a lot of hints about what's coming but they're mostly not really realized and certainly not mainstream.

> The goal of a compiler author is that their language live.

No it isn't. The goal is that the language is useful over time while discounting the future. Languages should die eventually when the circumstances thamade them useful change.
I answered that in my original post: "I understand that there are other options (reset password to random gibberish, run a script to delete my comments[, or, third option I'm inserting now, which seemed obvious to the point of not bothering to state it, just stop using the site]) and none of that would provide the catharsis I aimed for so I'm still here, for now, I guess."
That article is a gem.

My first steps with Nix on Mac OS X as Homebrew replacement
Our decision to have lower taxes, because we don’t need to raise more money, seems an odd thing to criticize us for.

Companies do not choose Cayman. They choose “not my home/operating country”, then as a well regulated and safe third party location many of them end up in Cayman. And you should be glad they do, because here they operate transparently and legally, and if it’s for tax benefits whatever tax loopholes exist in their home countries are closed they’ll have no choice but to richly comply. (BTW, In surveys the most frequent reason cited for being in cayman is regulatory neutrality, not tax mitigation.)

And if Obama has a problem with hundreds of companies sharing an address, I can’t wait until he finds out about Delaware. Or a post office!
if we say a language "addresses" a given concern, is it necessary that this is accomplished in the compiler, and that the rules for that concern, whatever they are, are enforced at compile-time?

"viral posts" aren't inherently a bad thing. It's part and parcel of some of the good aspects of social media - the sense of having a collective conversation among a large group. Fragementation is fine up to a point (We're already fragmented between half a dozen large social networks) but I want people to find me easily if they are interested in what I'm posting.
There is a mix of newer and older OLED and LED TVs in there, and that is 6 months, 20 hours a day of watching CNN. That said, it doesn't look quite as good as the last time I checked on the results. The new QD-OLEDs seem to do worse than standard OLEDs.

Yep. Our family still makes do with a WRT 54GS v5. A carefully configured DD-WRT installation (man, I did a ton of reading for that :) and memory expanded to 16 MB. Works fairly well, even for single-person Zoom calls and our son's gaming in Minecraft servers (+ Discord blabbering).

As for DD-WRT, my favorite setting is the timer for turning wifi off for the night, and a scheduled restart each morning. I also set the signal strength to as low as I could. This way, the router has been running with no issues whatsoever, maintaining a very stable download rate -- so it sure does make sense to dig in the DD-WRT (or OpenWRT) documentation and wikis.

I admit being somewhat attached to old-but-excellent hardware in general, though, so there's that.

Main benefits from MMO mechanics for education are:

Collaborative learning, when more senior student can teach younger one and increase his own experience as well. It is actually a popular trick in schools.

Competitive learning: from leaderboards to real time battles, where kids use their math skills to create spells. Competition is a singnificant source interest and engagement.

I agree, that the communication shouldn't be free, but I can again refer to some games like prodigy math that solved this problem by limiting phrases to be used and using emojis.

I definitely agree with you; languages should die, and they should die when their usefulness ends. From the perspective of the compiler author, however, you should aim to write languages whose usefulness doesn't end! :)

Also, thanks for the feedback!

Here in Kentucky, there are lots of people who worked in coal mines for several generations ("grandpa was a coal miner, dad was a coal miner, I'm a coal miner and my son will be a coal miner"). Coal is going the way of buggy whips. It is a dying industry. Automation is replacing some, and a collapse of customers wanting coal are getting rid of more. There are state and federal programs to help retrain workers. Yet the men affected frequently refuse the retraining. People still complain about the times in 2016 when Hillary campaigned and promised more retraining with stuff like "how dare that carpetbagger come here and tell us how to live"
This is an extremely pessimistic view, but it’s evidently played out in the US, which (usually) espouses democratic principles, so it’s probably justified in some regard.

In Australia, I believe that the officials and processes are highly trusted by the general public (or at least by those who participate in it).

This (anecdotal) perception of trust has been earned through various means: a famous ad campaign in the 80’s featured John Farnham’s “You’re the voice” promoted an individual’s agency and participation, and a fairly hilarious Twitter account provided much needed outreach to a wider audience. There’s a somewhat impish yet popular pundit named Anthony Greene who has earned a reputation for delivering enthusiastic and entertaining analyses and observations during each election.

The volunteers and temps who run and scrutinise elections are also just regular folk, and the commission exercise transparency and due diligence where necessary. They’re also independent of the government in so far as they do not implement policies like other departments: they merely activate the electoral procedures, once they have been triggered by an act of parliament.

The thought of a sitting government or their agents affecting the outcome of an election is really only plausible in the context of branch stacking, or engineering the timing to suit their strategic interests. Murdoch media is viewed as a significant threat to democracy.

The view that ‘all government elections are run by the government so they can’t be trusted’ is bordering on conspiracy theory logic. In many jurisdictions, they are executed by good people working for agencies that operate at arm’s length, with effective measures to prevent, deter and avoid misdeeds.
I believe "Loneliness" is a misnomer. The misery people feel when they are "alone" is not the lack of other people but the lack of connection. More precisely the disconnect with nature, oneself and to a lesser extend the community. A psychologist who studied loneliness said that the best remedy is time spend in the forest. If lonely people go and force themself to get around other people, they usually drag everybody down.

Well I actually do quite some digging myself. I like certain niches that are not really mainstream (e.g. roguelikes). However I never found a game where I thought this should be a bestseller and it wasn't (compared to the audience).

Now I sure still might have missed some.. however I am convinced that games that are truly exceptional will be successful. Because they are (still) rare. Good is not good enough. I stand by the fact that this is not a marketing issue. Of course you need some exposure.. if you never release a gem and never show it to anyone of course it won't find an audience.

It is an unfortunate trend that the United States is becoming so individualistic that even socializing and having friends is passé.
IMO opinion this is an even bigger issue with other medications. Doctors shouldn't get to decide that you should live in pain, or be trapped in a prison of your mind.

In our current society, a doctor has the unilateral decision whether to end a patients life (in so far as they are able to thrive in our society). Access to stimulant and opioid medication should be a right for patients with these conditions.

We don't need a doctor to baby us, when they would certainly have access for themselves and their children. The majority of doctors would not give up their career, move in with their parents, or tell their kids that college is not for them.

Be careful what you wish for. SomethingAwful voted out its mods and it went to shit _very_ quickly after. It's very hard to find mods who actually care about a community. Many of the very best communities on Reddit are very strictly moderated because the sad reality is that the vast majority of contributions are shit. If you end up in SA's situation, where strict moderation lead to many users having had at least one negative experience with mods, users might get the idea they know better than the mods how to run their community and any mod who actually curates the contributions runs the risk of getting votekicked.

That being said, treating mods as some kind of tenured position has lead to plenty of abuse as well. Altogether it's going to be a thin line for everyone involved to tread in order to keep these communities intact through all of this.

Sure, this is nothing compared to Reddit's userbase, but we'll see in a couple weeks how big this will get.
Two things:

First, about the site. The "back" functionality is kinda messed up here. I typed something in then hitting the back button removes the last character. Go to site, type "gaming", hit back, get same page with "gamin", hit back, get same page with "gami." etc.

Second, about subs going permanently private. It's a major blow for small, local subs. My city's sub went permanently private. It's a pretty small sub. It's not really sticking it to reddit like a large sub is (which has a big bank of widely useful knowledge). And its too small to probably migrate (its not on this list for example). It pretty much only hurts the people in that community and doesn't hurt reddit.
Companies that bar their employees from even looking at gpl code already follow that logic, yeah.

Confessions of a Namedropping Humblebragger
As I understand it, there's two categories of cryptographic algorithms:

- ones which we're pretty sure would take longer than the heat death of the universe to crack

- ones that turned out not to be as strong as we'd thought

Currently your "100 year crypto mode" is "all the non-deprecated algorithms", to the very best of our current knowledge. But that might change at the next cryptography conference. That's why we make algorithms that would take longer than the heat death of the universe to crack - it's the intended lifetime (maybe ten years) multiplied by a safety factor of like a gazillion, because we're still not sure what we can rely on.

High wattage appliances here have an effective max of like 1.8kW on a single-phase 120V outlet, it makes for pretty useless space heaters and kettles. You could probably beat our kettles with an induction cooktop just by virtue of the stove being able to use two phases.
