My only ad blocker is the pi hole. So whenever I am away from home, I am always shocked and amazed at how bad ads have gotten. On many sites I feel like an archaeologist digging through layers of ads to find the one tiny morsel of actual content.
I had no idea this existed, thanks for the insights.

I was able to prototype a game engine in pure functional style which, after several development iterations was able to greatly improve performance and maintainability of the game. Essentially the game world and physics was represented as several layers of cellular automatons interacting with locks and condition checks.
The production engine is not pure though due to various reasons.
I am considering ABCL for a GPL project. It seems to be actively maintained

Agreed. The corollary being that URLs that do change are usually because of poor stewardship on behalf of some responsible party: Reddit and Twitter are good examples of that.

I wondered how this could reliably distinguish between a scene cut and a cut to commercial without content hashes and/or program schedules being shared through the network, then realized that 20 years ago was already 2003 and of course home internet was common by then.

Apparently one offline technique was checking for black frames inserted by local stations.

Yes, I have just searched through CNNs archives. Apparently CNN has never accused China of using balloons to spy on the US. Apparently we were always at war with Eurasia.
ChatGPT vs. Open Source HuggingChat
> race-conscious admissions allow Asian American applicants “who would be less likely to be admitted without a comprehensive understanding of their background” to “explain the value of their unique background heritage, and perspective” and allow colleges to “consider the vast differences within [that] community.”

If I read that correctly, she (Alito) is suggesting that instead of going for academic merit they should emphasize how disadvantaged they are in their essay and hope for the best.

Doesn’t that open the door for corruption and cheating? ChatGPT will write tear jerking essays maximizing victimhood points. People pretending they are a different race or nationality to game the system. Otherwise looking for a way to slip a bribe in to the admissions committee members to “grease the wheels”.
Why should being born the child of a parents who didn't attend ivy league colleges so drastically affect my ability to get into an ivy league college? It's discrimination.
You already know the answer: rewrite is almost never the right option. If you’re not familiar with everything the code does, how will you rebuild it? Step 1 is to get some tests up to allow yourself to refactor quickly without breaking too much stuff.
Assuming you believe that last bit that's just racial affirmative action by proxy which is unconditional under this ruling.
I never said you can't sell free software. You have picked the wrong argument to try to make thinking I conflate the frees.

It's always been a fact that RH can't actually prevent a Centos-alike from reproducing the binaries from the same source, since RH are obligated to make the source available to anyone they hand a binary to. So you are right, they are still doing that. Congratulations on something that was never contested.

The problem is simply that they are trying, and HAVE at least issued statements asserting policies that they don't actually have the right to make. For instance they said that users can not legally redistribute the source they have access to, because it has RH trademarks in it. Well, fortunately that doesn't actually fly. The GPL isn't nullified by just including your cooyrighted or trademarked logo into the package. If anything, it just creates a derivative work and you just gave away all rights to your logo. Presumably they were'nt that stupid and carefully only do that to software they wholly wrote themselves, or things that are MIT and not GPL.
It matters 17 years later if you’re still in the same code base.
Opposite of strongly typed is weakly typed or loosely typed.

Opposite of static typing is dynamic typing.

Both CL and Python are strongly and dynamically typed by default. Their values have well defined types, variables don't.

C/C++ are statically and weakly typed. Haskell and Java is statically and strongly typed. Many shell and scripting languages are weakly or loosely and dynamically typed.
I worked at a defense contractor small business for a short while that used CORBA in some of its products. Previous engineers declared it impossible to update, so they asked me to do it. I had to upgrade the C++ version for the first time in a decade. I didn't find it very fun, but it was satisfying to see an ancient program compile on a more modern toolchain.

Hi.. i have the same problem..
i cannoz see any tweets on my laptop, but it works on iphone and ipad..
i am using the APP on both and on Macbook i use the Browser...
but no matter which browser i use on my laptop.. i am "rate limites".-..
This really sucks, as twitter already closed one of my accountws due to "spamming".. no spam at all. just GA, and engagement.. thats what twitter is made for..
but if they now start censoring, and limiting acconts just for doing what their APP is made for..?? i dont understand??

Ay idea, how i can get into it again?

cheers
"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..." - How long was that shit allowed for?

Even now, oil companies are subsidized tens of billions of tax dollars per year - and they're not merely annoying; they're downright apocalyptic.

As long as the AI companies have lobbyists, I imagine they'll be allowed to do just about whatever they like to us.
Advertisers never push people to do the sensible thing though. There's a reason that "vice" advertising has so much money poured into it.

The gym advertising its memberships would rather you never set foot on their premises.

Beauty products want you to feel good about yourself, but only while you're wearing their products.

McDonalds and Coca Cola do not want you to eat healthier, or enjoy their products only occasionally.

It's actually shocking to see someone frame advertisers as pushing people towards making good decisions for themselves, when we've had to explicitly ban tobacco companies from advertising how sexy and popular smoking would make you.

Witcher 3 is 8 years old and considered an old persons game. I learned that the hard way when I tried talking to my nephew about video games.

In all seriousness, most of your examples I would consider part of the previous era of gaming, which ended with Fortnite’s explosion. Hyper realistic games will continue to be developed of course, but the overall industry trend is moving towards mobile-friendly graphics, which presents its own set of technical challenges.
It’s easier, politically, for the Biden administration to justify the Ukraine support budget when purchasing US made munitions.
So, we should create a problem of unimaginable scale because future people will solve it?

Sounds like Boomer thinking: we’ll just screw over those spoiled kids.

For most users, Chromebooks work as a drop in. Most linux distros would be fine.

This is especially true nowadays, as Steam has gone a LONG way to make gaming viable in linux.
plurium interrogationum - why are you doing it?
Parent comment said PC-exclusive, Witcher 3 and RDR2 are examples where the PC port came out way after the console release and they are both fairly old games at this point.
This sort of thing is true nearly everywhere. In my own career I try to seek out those with the tribal design knowledge and deep understanding and learn as muh as possible.
It also makes it faster to write code. If the code base has a strong culture around doing X, then whenever you do X, you don’t have to spend time thinking about the best way to do it.

Happy Canada Day! 40 million strong now and aiming aggressively to bring in more tech talent. If you’re Canada-curious, take a look at BC as a gateway drug to our beautiful country. :-)
Perhaps the latter.

Certain types of screw convolving are essential to a number of my parts.

That feature is mostly now missing from the free version, though my existing files with it can change the parameters (though not add additional).

The 10 editable thing is just weird. It’s like having n light switches in your house and only 10 can be on at any given time (mechanically interlocked), but in exchange you get free electricity. While that’s a worthwhile deal for most, it’s hard to see how that incentivizes anything. It’s just mildly annoying.
I would say black letter day.

- Reddit API lockdown

- Twitter account wall

- YouTube increases aggressiveness against Adblock

This is on top of similar behavior from other sites that happened long ago. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

But drastic changes across platforms within 24 hours is unprecedented. This does not bode well.
I don't block YouTube ads and watch YouTube quite a bit. I've not had this experience. I don't think I've ever seen an unskippable 30 second ad. It seems to me unskippable tops out at 15 seconds. When YouTube flipped the switch a few years ago to drastically increase the number of ads it was super painful. But I have to admit I've totally gotten used to it. It's still dramatically better than cable. To me, YouTube ads are just on the cusp of acceptable.

It is not full loan forgiveness, they would still be responsible for the remainder.

I find it funny that we tolerate fabricating billions of dollars to bail out banks with TARP, wipe out billions (trillions?) of dollars in tax revenue with the TCJA, but draw the line when it comes to actually helping the little guy.

I'm even okay with being more strict with the income requirements so that those who are truly struggling can contribute more to society. Would you accept debt forgiveness for those currently in default? Keep in mind that declaring bankruptcy is not a viable option for these people as student loans are not discharged in that case.
A lot if this will boil down to what you found to be a pain. I hate to "give you more work," but do you have a list of things that you found particularly difficult?
In practice, SOAP was the one that brought the best functionality.

What is telling because it's a badly defined beast that mostly doesn't work. But it did the type checking, automatic (client) endpoint creation, self-documentation, reflection-based (server) endpoints, support for lots and lots of languages (as long as you don't use something like an array)...

People keep promising new protocols that do one or two of those things on the modern world, but they always fail to deliver. AFAIK, the last promise was grpc, but doesn't even use a widely supported subset of HTTP so it has no chance of ever going anywhere.
Moral rights mean fuck all in court, especially if you don’t have the money to throw at lawyers.

Also the DRM on all of these professional apps extends to the files they produce if you open a file in vector works autocad or any other professional software that was created or edited on an illicit copy a warning would pop up saying that the file was created on an illegal version and many of them wouldn’t allow you to edit the file further and for those which do saving the file again on a copy with a legitimate license does not get rid of the message that file is tainted for good.

This pretty much prevents any real world use of illicit copies professionally.
Piorun isn't really better. It's a modernization/rebranding of old Soviet Igla system.
I guess the best way woul dbe to regulate that.
If you want to sell any software (including firmware) you have to deposit the sources and encryption keys into some state-owned repository.
If you decided to stop maintaining the code it would be released into public domain after some reasonable grace period (e.g. 5 years).
That would solve many issues including excess e-waste.
Not all variable shadowing requires block scoping. Like I said about rust, you can literally just redeclare the variable, even one that’s not mutable.

About ergonomics, I think it’s a matter of opinion. To me though it is very ergonomic. As an example, let’s say you get the users input, trim the length, and parse it as a number. Without variable shadowing you have 3 variables (like, inputResult, inputStr, inputNum) and all those variables are still accessible , potentially by accident, throughout your code.

If you just have one input variable that you redefine, then you don’t have to pollute the scope with variables or think of more names and you won’t accidentally use one of the intermediate ones elsewhere. To me that’s more ergonomic.
the comments here seem to continue to rage about how horrible, HORRIBLE it was that private colleges were trying to help counteract the effects of centuries of institutionalized anti-Black racism, a clear and succinct take is from TPM's Josh Marshall:

"First, on its internal logic, the decision can appear compelling. But step back and you see that a specific class of Americans who were enslaved for two centuries and then mostly lived under a system of legal apartheid for another century somehow still remain largely excluded from social and economic preferment. And we’re told that the constitution not only bars the government from doing anything about that but also bars private institutions from attempting to do anything about that. Judged from that more holistic perspective it’s very hard to see how that can possibly be right whatever the internal logic of “color blindness.”"

"Second, the same people who wrote the amendments that undergird this decision also passed various laws specifically to raise Black social and economic power to the level of white people. So the Court’s definition of “color blindness” simply cannot have been the intent of the authors of the amendment. The history is open and shut."

"Third, the question of whether the constitution requires or looks favorably on racial diversity is a complex question and it’s not entirely clear that it does, at least if we’re limiting our analysis tightly to the intent of the people who wrote the relevant amendments. But if originalism or history plays any role in your jurisprudence, African-Americans represent a unique class which the constitution specifically intends to raise to the level of white people. One could argue that that task is done somehow, or that society has changed in some respect that makes the original injunction operate differently or that affirmative and compensatory educational preferment is somehow uniquely damaging and thus a disallowed means of achieving that aim. But again, specifically for African-Americans, the “color blindness” constitutional argument doesn’t add up. "
I know US is much worse in violent crime, but you can’t fix problems by addressing its symptoms while overlooking their main cause. If UK is still running campaigns like “safe a life, bin that knife”, then maybe targeting guns was not the correct solution to the problem.
My opinion is that CUDA is not the mote keeping the others out - it's the CUDNN (and CUBLAS), more specifically the level to which they are optimized.

Alien Contact
<humor>

We've succeeded. We just mind-melded with our second factory worker.
They both know about each other though they live in different areas.
Soon we will have enough to introduce the replicator, "discovered"
by these contacts. This world will be introduced to the galaxy within
a short time with our help. I'm so excited.

"Hello." ... Umm, what?

"I see you are starting the construction of a replicator."

... umm, what? ... Oh. We're not the first contact I see.

"No. We've been here a short while but exponentials operate quickly, as they say"

You know about replicators. Why haven't you introduced them?

"Well, we're not the first contact either. But we've learned a lesson."

Others have been here before us? How do you know?

"We've learned that introducing our technology before they are ready is bad."

But they'd be able to ...

"No. Look at their history, such as it is. Every time the last visitors
introduced something all hell broke loose, to use Earth terms. One contact
introduce biocontrol which led to their "Black Plague". A different contact
introduced drugs to enable telepathy and everyone who broke through was
killed by high priests who wanted control. They burned people who broke
through resulting in the Mayan collapse. Yet another introduced solar
technology. Egypt was not emotionally prepared, started worshiping
"the Sun God Ra", work stopped and the civilization collapsed. Some
fool contact introduced the violin and, as near as we can tell their
lead and wine addled brains "burned down the Roman empire". That one is
a little questionable but these people are not good at recording history."

Nonsense. a replicator will build more replicators so they will quickly
climb the exponential curve and be free from want.

"Free from want? You really are new here. Want drives them all. They
want more powerful weapons so they can take what they want."

Well we could make them want less, it's just a simple matter to ...

"Some contact tried that. "Buddha", as their group leader was called,
tried to eliminate "wanting" but that only seems to catch on during
the adolescent stage when they don't already own things. It doesn't last."

I can see you're right. They will have to be the ones who find us
and make contact. Until they think they invented the idea they won't
be ready for us.

"Yeah, we know. We're leaving soon. Let's meet elsewhere."

I've been learning it thanks to this amazing tutorial series by a guy named mangojelly.

freeCAD had a critical issue in topological naming (they are working on a fix as we speak and it's going to be out "soon"), and it's hideously clunky. Basically, when you resize a sketch and that causes more faces to be created it makes all your other stuff go crazy.

You can also use realthunders branch which fixes the naming issue as well.

Mangos videos teach you a bit how to think reasonably though freecads infuriating errors, too. The guy is worth a watch if you want to start using the best open source tool.

freeCAD sucks, until you learn it, and then it works alright. Learn to use data planes instead of sketch on face and the topo naming isn't even an issue anymore.
Oh how I wish they would themselves be shot, but the reality probably is that someone cowardly enough to initiate a SWATing will not go down guns blazing. Cowards gunna cower.

For all bullies, I’m more in favor of a “rotten fruit for the townspeople to throw at the criminals kept in stocks by the town square” flavor of punishment, but that’s probably not realistic either. But if we could stream it on Twitch, I wager it would have a meaningful effect.

I imagine most of the ui code is fully reusable. The fact it's even possible to port it so quickly I think practically confirms it. Most of the changes are probably just on the API side.

I agree that way more advertising is aimed at encouraging poor decisions for profit. There's just more money in it. But there absolutely are ads (not just PSAs) that try to get people to help themselves. Profit is still made, but the exchange is much more equitable (or there's no better option).
Search engines scrape and profit from it. Scraping is legal (and that is trivially easy to find out with a quick Google search). What you do with the scraped information may violate copyright, terms of service, or personal privacy laws.

Because Ukraine is a democratic state/western ally being invaded by it's much bigger and meaner neighbor and will cease to exist if we do not help them defend themselves.

We don't have to give them to Ukraine, but doing so generally furthers our interests.
