If there was an obvious reason, it would have been solved long ago.

It's probably a collection of messy issues in software from all layers of the typical Linux desktop stack.

It's solvable for sure, but requires the manpower equivalent of what apple has working on Macos.

Linux companies typically have other low hanging fruits to focus their efforts on.

This infuriates me. I know the video exists, that’s why it’s on my watch later.

It’s like adding an item to your cart, and then having an ad for it at the top of every search result.

Another thing I hate is if you watch a video from a playlist (or the “podcasts” tab on a channel), and go into your watch history to continue the video, you can’t. It just shows a link to the entire playlist
I found out an interesting fact after the USA deployed the national "mental health hotline" number. My Android 11 phone refuses to recognize it as a valid emergency number. It has an interface where, if it's locked or SIM missing, it prompts you to dial an emergency number. And you can enter any number you want, but the only number that works is "911". (Perhaps 999 works too, or only in Europe/UK?) But if you dial the "mental health" number, it refuses. I was hoping that an update would address this, but not yet. You'd think this would be something that could be anticipated and deployed ahead of the actual opening of the hotline.
This is something that the computer security does amazingly well. At most conferences, the core money maker is trainings. You have advanced topics, taught by experts, usually 2 to 5 days of training. Topics like program analysis, reverse engineering, obfuscation, exploitation, fuzzing, etc.

I have my foot in both industries so I am happy to have these, but I have always wished for an equivalent for software engineers. Stuff like show up for 5 days and learn the concepts to write your own SMT solver, or implement a neural net framework from scratch in the language of your choice. This could be applied to any flavor of development - graphics, games, mobile, web, GPU, etc. Basically crash courses for competent people to get up to speed in an advanced area.
it's a huge adoption barrier though

The problem is the best apps attach all sorts of weird things to weird buttons.

I've given plenty of novices a try of a headset and it's a train wreck with them accidentally pushing buttons every which way that completely destroy whatever setup you've done. My favorite is devs like to make the "grip" buttons (on the side where your middle finger rests) shift the frame or scale of world (eg: OpenBrush does this). It's super natural once you know what you are doing, but give that to a novice and it's incredibly hard for them to learn to not grip the controllers. They cling on to them like crazy and the whole world is spinning around and they immediately tell you they are disoriented and nauseated and hate VR.
Do you want recommendation? I use Distraction Free YouTube which simply blocks the main page, leaving only the search bar. When a video is playing, it blocks out the sidebar as well. As a result, I don't see recommendations anymore at all, just my subscriptions.

there’s a logitech bluetooth silent mouse i really like and would carry it on my laptop at work from meeting room to meeting room. i had 3 in 2 years, dropped each once, they were all broken on the first fall.

kinda wish they were able to withstand falls onto hard surfaces but it’s also a) my fault, and b) not an expectation i have of a mouse in general.

but it’s also a good reason to not just take any consumer device onto a sub, because functioning after a drop would absolutely be a requirement.
Universal Paperclips has the best story out of all the idle games I know, but it's not the best game. For one thing, it has very limited reset/prestige mechanisms, and the expansion mechanism in the final phase is very opaque and can mislead players into frustrating dead ends.
Interesting piece but is more just a bunch of personal feelings on various sites.

50MB/s was my guess for a json parser written in a direct way in a moderately fast language that doesn’t read into some optimised representation (eg I assume the python one constructs python data structures). The json file is 64k (which may have been what threw you off) so that comes to ~750 per second. But my guess of 50MB/a could be way off (might be imagining a slower implementation but then the computer for the tests is also a bit slow, I think)
I meant Notepad as an example of something that implements the basic "move the cursor between the characters with arrow keys and type to insert text" way of interacting with text. In terms of this, Emacs is exactly Notepad + plugins. And plugins (unless they drastically change the way you interact with text, like Evil mode) are usually doing something that is orthogonal to the editing model, and can be slapped on top of any editor with any model.

I didn't mean that one is based on the other historically. Notepad was meant as the most minimal example that implements one of the Emacs'es aspects.
My guess is that the majority of Haskell programmers who are comfortable enough with the forall keyword to use it in practice would find the symbol ∀ to be more readable than the keyword, rather than less. (This is not snark, it's my actual belief.)
Not sure why you got downvoted. The only strong exclusives Xbox has are Halo, Gears of War, Forza (which IMHO is actually better than Gran Turismo, especially the Forza Horizon series), and Flight Simulator. Meanwhile the PS5 has over a dozen incredible exclusives.
I thought he overacted that role. I feel it requires a much lighter touch than most actors give it.
Depends on the speed of the change. The pressure differential is what causes the material to fracture, the longer the differential exists the more fracturing you will get.

Carbon fiber fails much like wood, you'll end up with a couple of larger fragments and a much larger number of smaller fragments, some too small to even see with the unaided eye.

Unlike say a metal vessel during an implosion which would remain mostly connected but crushed or ripped into a few larger chunks depending on where the initial fault was.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VNvEpDyUhvo

Shows nicely how a fault propagates through carbon fiber.
Interesting point..

I wonder how we could test to see if they are already doing this...
It is detectable if the other components are cryptographically paired, like they are in newer iPhones.

I mean, while it could’ve been a lot worse, all but the CEO here are basically blameless, and even basic regulation could have saved them.
If it vaguely, and I mean vaguely resembles starch or sugar, you're not getting methanol. It's substantially harder to convert long polysacharides into ethanol/methanol than it is to convert starches and simple sugars, to the point that the less informed a person is, in the off chance they succeeded in making alcohol, the less likely there's going to be substantial methanol levels.

The vast majority of moonshine stills were just churning out unaged corn whiskey from animal feed corn. There is no risk of methanol poisoning in that scenario.
I didn't talk about opposing abortion, but about the absolutist view that considers abortion the killing of a person. For example, in Judaism abortion is forbidden in many cases, but not because it is considered killing a person (nor is it a worse offence than, say, lighting a match on the Sabbath). When Islam forbids abortion, it does not forbid it because the foetus is considered a person (until four months, at least). The absolutist position that a foetus is a person since conception or soon thereafter and therefore abortion is forbidden because it is akin to murder is a largely Christian belief (maybe Buddhist, too).

BTW, abortion is legal in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in more situations than it is in some American states.

It's not inherently dehumanizing to point out that, well, this was death by misadventure, and was profoundly avoidable.

If you die doing something dumb, then yeah, people are gonna point that out.

If you die doing something dumb that you spent house money to do, the pointing out will be much more pointed.
Just use lambdas, that makes the sequence local.
Not debate with people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Debate moves science along, but it's debate between people with many years (or even decades) of scientific training. This debate mainly occurs in print, and is based on rigorous analysis of data. The "spectators" are also experts, and basically everyone involved agrees that the debate will be adjudicated by the data in the end.

The kind of debate that would occur on Joe Rogan's podcast would be very different. First of all, one of the participants would have no scientific training at all. Second, it would basically come down to who could score the better rhetorical points in the moment, in the eyes of a lay audience. This sort of debate has nothing to do with how science advances.

There's huge value in explaining scientific knowledge to the public, so that it's not some complete mystery to them, particularly when it directly affects their lives. However, that's very different from hosting a "debate" between a scientist and an anti-vaxxer. This reminds me of the "teach the controversy" mantra that creationists in the US were heavily pushing a decade or two ago. The argument there was that children should be presented with evolution and creationism on equal footing, and should then decide for themselves which they find more convincing.
I think I've interpreted your comment three different ways so far, and gotten additional insight each time. Well done. :)
> It's no one's fault. It's a system that creates a race to the bottom.

This is another way to say that it is a market of attention with individual actors acting (nearly) independently but with similar convergence.

In a way, that makes it everyone that is a "buyer's" fault. Which unfortunately means this will not appeal to most people (doesn't mean it isn't useful). But we've converged to selecting click bait videos over non-clickbait.

Cliques are a weird thing. People have them memorized and will roll their eyes at you if you repeat them, but this is the epitome of "judging a book by its cover." Repeat it all you want, but there has to be a hook. And anyone properly marketing their work intentionally wants you to judge the work by the cover.

As a bigger issue, I think YouTube fails for "explorers" and concentrates too much on "exploiters." Referring to exploration vs exploitation strategies. ML models will typically do this. Especially because most people are "exploiters."
It's possible for sure, I just wouldn't call that super intelligent. There are other ways to get what you want besides ruthless domination. One could argue that ruthless domination is a last resort, and that only really primal intelligence is in play at that point.
If this is the first time you observe this then you're going to be pretty bored soon because most discussion about such subjects follow that exact same pattern.
At that point, you're counting on the material that thread is sunk into to be capable of withstanding that pressure without brittle fracture, and from the wrong side.

A screw is there to resist being pulled out. If water got to those screw threads as you posit, that'd basically be like reversing the forces to which that fastener was meant to resist. You go from "big chunk of material to hold in screw" to "little triangular threadforms trying to stay joined to the material around them in spite of 5800 psi trying to transit a pressure gradient insisting otherwise."

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying if I remotely thought it was possible to end up in that situation, I'd be going back to the drawing board to try to rule out that possibility. My brain just shows me visions of a screw turned into a bullet that barely gets slowed down going through a human body after threadforms crush like tortilla chips, a water cutter blasting through somebody into the opposite ablating a hole and causing a cascaded failure that then shortly thereafter becomes diesel thoomp.

If you'll excuse me, I'm abandoning this train of thought.

I suppose the question is why do the compilation server side? With a Linux sandbox policy as restrictive as WASI is, like by blocking all but a handful of syscalls, is there much difference between native machine code and WASM from the cloud operator perspective? Is maybe the issue here that low level Linux sandboxing with bpf and stuff isn't well documented, or maybe not trusted?
Using off the shelf components is probably the best thing they did. You don't want to reinvent the wheel if you can help it. I don't know why the game controller is a sticking point for most of social media. It's funny to think of a vehicle being piloted by one, but they really are designed to be used for thousands of hours. Game controllers have been used in all sorts of military applications.

The issue as far as I have read is that the hull was made of carbon fibre. There hasn't been any submersible that has reached those depths before made of that material. The effect continued pressurization/depressurization had on the carbon fibre wasn't understood. Composite materials are so much more complicated to model and understand. There was no non-destructive testing to see what effect the repeated cycles had on the hull, no way of knowing whether cracks could form beneath the surface. The failure mode at depth is catastrophic, there's no room for error. Someone pointed all this out to them and was fired https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-face....

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/21/us/titan-sub-safety-ocean...

In response to them knowing the sub wasn't fit for purpose they opted to install a "real time health monitoring system" which acoustically checked the integrity of the hull. But it's pointless. By the time any acoustic monitoring system picked something up it would be too late, because carbon fibre just shatters into a million pieces. It's not like Steel where it can gradually fatigue, it's crack BOOM dead.

Using carbon fibre for the hull is like rolling your own crypto. Maybe you can get it to work but unless you properly scrutinize it there is most likely fundamental flaws in your implementation and it's just better to use tried and true methods. In the sub world that tried and true method is just thick steel.

There are a few parts to this. The first is, the future is currently extremely uncertain and therefore short term moves make sense. The second is the same as every other industry, if the price of money (interest rates) is super low people accumulate debt leveraging the future for the present and thereby raising the need for immediate return. This second part creates a feedback loop of constantly needing more and more revenue to pay the lenders. The third part of this is that most megacorps become seriously dysfunctional over time. There are a ton of reasons for this, but it mostly comes down to growing bureaucratization. IBM is among the worst in this regard, and many people predicted exactly this future when IBM bought Red Hat.
Yes, it's good to keep a good perspective by thinking our position relative to the world but relative to our surroundings and cost of living too. Probably living the US, we're near the top for expenditures/costs too.
The reference to "aircraft" wasn't about airplanes or submersibles, it was about how the term "aircraft-grade" is a meaningless marketing buzzword. It's obvious to me, and I imagine a lot of readers, that a submarine isn't an aircraft. I think the reference to the use of the bullshit marketing term is also obvious.

Makes you realize that space travel isn't going to happen with current physics.
CGP Grey and Tom Scott have both changed their thumbnails from their previous style to new more “click-baity” ones. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s just what creators have to do nowadays to keep up with the state YouTube is moving toward. I think this is why the extension author chose these two as an example.
I like more descriptive titles! Don't know if I agree about the thumbnail though. Replacing a "You won't believe what they do here!!" with "A tour of X facility where Y is produced plus an interview with Z" is much better. It's more expressive, easier to find what you're looking for, and overall a definitive improvement for the viewer.

However, I'm not sure a random screenshot, or any still frame from the middle of a video is a better replacement for a custom thumbnail.

The only benefit I see of something like that is to explicitly reduce irritation of stupid thumbnails, not to improve your ability to find content you care for. And if you get emotionally worked up enough because of stupid youtube thumbnails that you must change them to something that's obviously just as random, you might need more meditation. It's just youtube, it's not worth it.

Is that really going to cost $2500 though? Sounds like a massive deal-breaker to me.

Apple is giving me a Macbook Pro with solid hardware for an equivalent amount of money that I can always count on for everything I do, and still set it for ~40% of the value 5+ years later.

Well heck I just argued with a bunch of people, who said the USN knew but would never tell anyone and me saying it's a baseless claim.

I think you're dead wrong about this. It is well known that big games sell consoles. It's why this generation of XBox is struggling against PS5. Also, CoD is big but it's not the only thing in this Activision deal.
Thanks for this. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it is broken with the following error: "A system error has occurred and we are not able to process your request. Please try again later."
The plugin supports replacing only titles if you prefer.
> Clearly the sub wasn’t safe enough, but I’m not seeing anything that makes it obviously badly built.

A lot of this is bewilderment at the choice of carbon fibre for the pressure vessel, which is sensitive to impact damage and wear from repeated load cycles, damage is hard to diagnose, and as it's very brittle, prone to catastrophic failure. It's not commonly used for this sort of application, and there may not be good data on (1) when it would eventually fail and (2) whether you'd be able to tell before use.

As I understand, the choice was motivated by wanting the sub to have the large interior space necessary to bring along that many passengers. Deepsea subs usually don't attempt that either.

Wow how rapidly you went from "read this" to "I'm not going to respond and just downvote everyone that disagrees with me"

Edit: Oh ya another great part of this wiki page is when it states, "The United Nations Environment Program backed away from an earlier proposal of putting thiomersal on the list of banned vaccine compounds as part of its campaign to reduce mercury exposure.[18] It stated that eliminating it in multi-dose vaccines, primarily used in developing countries, would lead to high cost and a refrigeration requirement that developing countries could ill afford."

So they were considering banning it to reduce mercury exposure, which we know is bad for us, but they didn't because.... drumroll please.... money. Shocking. The fears are completely unfounded though.
I can't help that think this kind of move should be expected once IBM bought red hat.
The core of the issue is an trying to extract more value from a well run/well optimize business which usually happens after such large acquisition. There is a fundamental limit to the kind of return on investment that a OSS first/sell support model can provide.
In the short term, it's probably more profitable to pivot to more close model, and try to extract even more value from captive audience... But only time will tell how that pans out in the long term.
I don't know if anyone would consider me senior in terms of rank on any team, but I've been a professional developer in some capacity for ~10 years, depending on how you count time between jobs.

What I've learnt as someone who's mostly self-taught, is that while I can probably pick up the important bits of any tech I need for getting a job done, much of my knowledge is incomplete, and it can be interesting to fill out the nooks and crannies in any given domain by applying some rigor and going through a course or reading a book end-to-end.

Take Postgres for example. Yes I understand what I need to work with it, do basic data modelling, maintenance, backups etc.. but until I picked up a book I didn't know about inheritance or third-party data wrappers (don't recall their actual name)

In terms of what would be useful for your job, I think it would be great to simply find where you can improve you/your team's developer experience, perhaps by evaluating tools that fill invisible gaps, or writing them yourself with skills you pick up in those courses.

Maybe you suck at interaction design and you can get your company to fund a degree in it
