I agree. DirectX still makes a very strong case for itself with ease-of-use, extra features and strong performance. That's the big reason I mention it's not fully replaced, because frankly it's not (and I say this as an ENORMOUS DXVK apologist).

That being said, DirectX doesn't feel like the titan of the industry it once was. If you're shipping a multiplat title and intend to hit PC, PS5 and Xbox in one fell swoop, targeting Vulkan makes it a cinch. It wouldn't be as "native" as a DirectX-first title, but it does offer SPIR-V cross-compilation and a huge degree of control over how you present your program. It is not neccesarily easier to use, but I feel like I'm seeing it more now that game engines are supporting it. If Nintendo continues to develop their Vulkan drivers from what they were on the Switch, it's very likely that we will see a write-once-port-anywhere GPU API.

Oh, and there's Metal too. Sorry pal, nothing nice to say about you. Go home, tell dad to let Vulkan play with you in the GPU sandbox.
This may be the case. While it is a standard practice in print design and graphic design that designers learn and use some tools to materialize these design into somewhat of a final product (tools like indesign, illustrator, etc.) it is not a common practice among web designers. A web designer is more likely to create a mock-up in a tool like figma, which a web developer than materialized into HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Of course there is an overlap, where a designer actually writes their own frontend or a web developer does their own design, but most of the industry has a separation there which is not present many other creative industries.

Perhaps there is a lack of understanding of the interaction between a web-developer and a web-designer which creates this unique negative perception of CSS as a tool. A back end developer might simply not understand it.

How does this work for data brokers? For example, if a data broker legally collects the data in the US, then sells it elsewhere, where it could not be legally scraped?

I felt this way for a while, until I turned off / remapped my up/down arrows, and forced myself to use hjkl. You pick it up pretty quick after that.
I just accepted it that everytime I push down it will probably scrape some plastic into the drink

Really cool archives. Another project you might wanna check out is DocuWiki (not to be confused with DokuWiki the software). It often gets looked over because it leverages the Ed2k network but it's often been the only source I've found for certain rare documentaries

AI should be a tool for creators and the benefits come from its use. Instead of trying to own ideas, creators should only protect the unique way these ideas are expressed, that's what copyright should cover.
Could be useful as an alarm.

My understanding is the loudness war reduced dynamic range, but that it didn’t do so via clipping of high amplitude frequencies in the music, but rather by increasing gain of low amplitude frequencies with techniques like parallel compression.

But I could be wrong.
f.d. never negotiated with FAANGs/BigCos, only directly.

Could it be they don't want someone too politically savvy as an IC? You're there to further the goals of an organization as a rank-and-file; not enrich yourself.

Yes, this is part of the genius strategy that most people don't see. There is an entire generation of people growing up where iPhones and iPads are the computer. Many of them also don't even know that there is a difference between a mobile device and an iPhone. Android is this weird sort of alternative that nobody uses, and Windows is this "PC" thing which they've never used but they hear that some people use for gaming. To these people, the Apple way is the way, and converting them to anything else will be nigh impossible. The current professionals that find iPads insufficient will age out, and the next generation will consider them the standard workstation.
They’ve got a lot less time than that. Check out Nate hagens work on resource depletion and you’ll see to simplify it x1000, it’s a matter of a century or two left before the high tech comes to a halt.

Interesting, I though National and Panasonic were just brand names of Matsushita, but the corporation was renamed to Panasonic in 2008. See, that's how old I am :)
My first inclination is that embedded ads happen because individual creators are having difficulty wrestling the algorithm to funnel enough views and subscribers their way and because not enough of the Premium subscription fee goes to creators.

This isn't always true as there are a few giants that do embedded ads too, but most of the sponsor reads I see on YouTube are from smaller or more niche channels.
Cool story, illegal in my country. Also, the popup is blocked, so I don't even get to agree to it or not.

It doesn't matter what Google intends to do. Only what I do in response. TOS are not legally binding, they're a bunch of crap.
Wish I could have a second pattern to play with!
> Do you pay for ad-free experiences when available?

Not OP, but I block ads for similar reasons. I do pay for ad-free experiences, but

1) often I'm shown ads anyway, and
2) there's typically no privacy-preserving way to pay. So in practice paying often implies a significant loss of control over managing your privacy

So my personal take is that we're not there yet in terms of having robust viable alternatives to the ad-block experience.
Well tell me how I license things I produce so that humans use them, but it's illegal for companies like OpenAI to use them, or more broadly, not legal to use in any dataset.

I'm not okay with things I create (written, photos, etc) being used by these companies in datasets.
The point of it is obvious — the margins on it are huge. As they say, a fool and his money…
McMansions are a symptom of wanting to appear rich, they're expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as something built with an architect aiming for taste.
Looks like you're already in Emacs. I strongly recommend racket-mode as mentioned in another thread.

With regard to prototyping GUI's I'd suggest taking a look at https://github.com/mfelleisen/7GUI. https://github.com/Bogdanp/racket-gui-easy could also be a good place to start.

With regard to Racket more generally, I'm probably not the best person to ask since I had a very high friction start where I just banged my head against the wall until things made sense.

How many nurses are struggling to find work and repay their loans?

The number of students enrolling in a program and the amount of debt taken out by those students doesn't matter if there is a positive return on investment and the debt is repaid.

The blue-collared voter views the moral hazard as the end of the conversation. Attempting to diminish or dismiss this as a red herring is counterproductive and doesn't accomplish what you want.

It's akin to trying to convince a friend to rob a bank with you. The friend doesn't need to hear the hifalutin plan to know it's stupid and wrong, but you're getting upset that your friend doesn't want to sit down and hear it for three hours.
Anecdotally I have the same problem - I was really well managed with adderall IR but now I’m on vyvanse because of the shortage. I think the problem is it never fucking wears off - sounds good on paper but the cumulative effects of dehydration, not eating as well, and not sleeping as much really take a toll on you. Plus while it technically lasts longer, for a lot of that tail end it’s barely effective at managing ADHD (acute tolerance, depletion and tiredness) while still messing with sleeping/eating/hydrating.

I honestly think adderall IR should be legalized too if we’re going to legalize vyvanse - just put it behind the counter like Sudafed.

This stuff was legal, widely used, and widely available in many countries (Germany, the US) for multiple decades and it didn’t collapse their societies. If you read about it, generally the only times it caused problems was armies and such ran out - what people experience right now with all the shortages that wouldn’t exist if it were treated like Sudafed. Sounds like it’s scarily addictive given that, until you realize we’d also have a lot of problems if we ran out of coffee or caffeine.

How to become structured and clear in communications
I recently got a feedback in my interview process that I should be more structured and clear in communications, particularly on the topics that are broad and complex like approaching monolith refactoring, pros and cons of some technologies. I tend to sometimes quickly over points or vice versa versa go unnecessary deep into details, or divert into connected topics.

Can you please give any advice, recommend a book or something else to improve my communication skills. Thank you!

Hallucinations in AI
> I’ve listened to 1000s of hours of YouTube since I started my premium subscription with 0 advertisements.

If most people choose to do this, your premium subscription will start to have a few premium, curated ads, and you'll have to buy the next tier up to get ad-free again. Four years later, you'll have to by the next tier up just to get the premium, curated ads back.
The new stuff you can buy is always limited to whats already available at your market. Your market might be your grocery store, walmart, amazon, a little local bodega, whatever, but if its not there you don't get it ads or not, and if its there chances are you can find it without an ad by going down the right aisle or using the right keywords.

Plus ads are fundamentally inefficient sources of information. Billboard lawyers like to flood the interstates with their "Accident? call me" signage, on the off chance someone without a lawyer has an accident and looks up and sees Jacob Emrani smiling on them. Big payoff for the lawyer if they do get a job from this ad, but for the vast majority of the millions of commuters a day who pass such an ad its probably a useless waste of thought to even catch one in your periphery.
I think it's still largely prudent to use bundler tools. I think the biggest issue with not going to ESM syntax comes down to static analysis and tree shaking. It's so much better with proper ESM, and will reduce overhead for the browsers. The bundlers definitely paper over various issues. Being able to import non-js resources like styles, json and other references is useful, to say the least. I don't think this will ever be really practical for direct browser use short of some generational compute and network improvements.

That said, we aren't that far off. Many site are spewing several MB of JS on load, and it's relatively well performing even on modest phones these days. At least relative to 90's dialup where the rule on loads was measured close to 15s. Things are absolutely snappy (mostly). I think the biggest hurdle today is shear entropy. React+MUI+Redux is imo pretty great, and getting to something similar in pure JS would take a lot of effort. Not insurmountable, but significant. There's still a new framework of the month nearly every month in the JS space.

Getting movement is hard. It'll take time and persistence.

Another part is that anyone who wants to fuck with you in some semi-official capacity now has to choose whether to go back to your hotel or arrest you on the spot, which puts them in a better mind to give up or take a bribe.

Happened to me at an airport in Thailand. Some airside police officer demanded to inspect my passport, then wouldn't give it back to me until I walked him to an ATM so I could pay him a "tax" in cash.

I never went back to Thailand.
Will also second this. I’ve used on old linux box with ChromeOS flex as my daily driver doing fullstack web and mobile development for a bit over a year now and it’s easily the best desktop experience I’ve ever had compared to Windows, Linux and MacOS.

That’s one hot take on the ruling. It was quite narrow, and has nothing to do with same-sex weddings, but is about compelled speech and free association.
Because browser makers only have respect for the bourgeoisie and clear contempt for the proletariat.
Interesting, I think it's the opposite. I think they would love iPads to cannabalize or eat entirely Macs. Macs are still fairly open compared to the iPad, and this allows people to use the device as a general purpose computer (instead of an appliance) without Apple as the gatekeeper/protector.

Society is going to have a hard learned lesson on how badly false positives with punishment systems destroys community trust. It doesn't take but a few unjustly punished folks exacting revenge on the systems that hurt them to quickly polarize and disrupt communities.
If anything, the titillating but myopic hyper-focus on AI's "existential threat" is obscuring the real and more immediate threats: panopticon-style invasions of privacy, economic disruption brought about by the mass deskilling of labor, enshrinement and automation of bias-reinforcing systems, and a new military arms race in AI-based weaponry.
This is off topic but I found this phrase coming from a European hilarious.

"This is all 'wild west' to me as a European, but somehow I wonder if there is any guns that work to protect yourself by means of self-justice."
hmm

on one hand: shoplifters aren’t shoplifting all the time

on the other hand: there are many alternative ways for people to get food now, and I’m fine if a prior infraction raises their costs - such as needing to go to a farmers market, or needing to use a grocery delivery app so a surrogate purchases for them

I would be against this if it meant no way to get groceries

there does need to be an appeals process or way to be removed from the list
There's definitely a funky curve of what you can and cannot comfortably do on an iPad. If you're pinned to IDEs and need lots of local graphical tools to support development, an iPad is unusable. If you already have to run all your work remotely since the tools are too heavy even for a laptop (like me with EDA tools), it turns out that the iPad makes for a great little client. I use mine a lot with iSH. I can do work locally in vim and then submit jobs to the compute cluster, it's the exact same workflow I'd use on a laptop.
I’m flabbergasted at the reasoning here, I see it the exact opposite. Give people breathing room and then they’ll be able to do the democracy stuff.
Using require.js is your choice. CommonJS often isn't a choice.

The most telling part of this comment is that you omitted PHP.

And the parent comment mentioning VBScript is the other half. VBScript was equally terrible.

Imagine a world where every interpreted runtime used Lisp. Or UCSD Pascal.

People would be here saying "this was forced on us!" And wishing that browsers ran MIPS assembler they could target with their new language of choice.
I am becoming happier by the day with my decision to become a pirate again. I have no regrets and will continue to support artists and creators I like personally. But enough is enough. Plex pass is all I need for now and with a private tracker and a lifetime pass I pay nothing, no ads, 4k with all different codecs. Honestly, after being visually-raped by advertisers for so long I just got sick of it. And considering how execs treat us plebs I have little moral qualms too.
I doubt this will happen but then again I never saw “Gas Station TV” (the most obnoxious ads ever at the fill pump) coming.

I saw a brand new machine for measuring blood pressure at the store and sat down because why not. It had unskippable screens demanding my personal info then it says “gathering your data” for a full THIRTY seconds after measuring my blood pressure which was conveniently just the amount of time to show me a commercial. It made me want to throw up.

I’m sure Walmart threw out all the old blood pressure machines that worked for 30 years and put these abominations in. It just makes my skin crawl how dystopian that machine was.

>Criminal organizations that handle these kinds of tasks rarely take unsolicited requests in bitcoin. They like to know who is asking, and why.

Lone gunmen radicalized by reading words on the Internet don't even need payment. They don't even need to know which one of the 100 people they shoot up before offing themselves was the actual target. It's called "stochastic terrorism", look it up and despair.

I'm half convinced we're already past that and into "stochastic genocide" territory (hi!). Assuming consciousness is just a biological function, an actor with sufficient scope is absolutely capable of breeding it out of our species. Perhaps through instituting a filter on reproduction which presents itself as a fundamental conflict of values (between sexes; between social strata; etc), but in fact simply serves to foil the perpetuation of those genes that enable the capacity for disobedience.

I mean, have you seen the radical left or radical right (both of which the neoliberal end-of-history scenario supposedly rendered obsolete, before they suddenly turned up as if they had never gone away, at some point after the 2008 redistribution) actually achieve anything this century, other than, well, fuck around, beat up each other (but never a cop), shout increasingly elaborate forms of "lalala I can't hear you" at each other (over social media lol), and eventually grow up to become harmless "spicy normies"? They're one of the distractions: the familiar stimulus of "political struggle" to assist with the conditioning; the "cloth mother" of monkey attachment experiments.

OTOH, none of the actually viable novel grassroots subcultures (which have a hold on youth, i.e. on humans in prime reproductive age) have an explicit goal or political manifesto. They just sorta sustain themselves, and superficially look like emergent groupings of dysfunctional people who bullshit each other and mooch off of polite society - nothing to see here. Upon closer inspection, you would notice that they all act like they're controlled from "elsewhere". That "elsewhere" is in your pocket, or on your desk, right now. You even paid money for it to be there. Ever ask yourself in whose warchest that money ended up?

>I can do so, easily: the amount it needs is an amount low enough to not prompt complaints from first responders.

Great, you then deferred your meaning to another nebulous amount that is again, not defined. Maybe if you were willing to research and derive the current amount of false positives received, and if that threshold is acceptable as is, Id agree.

Otherwise: Maybe you consider mind reading as "easy" and I congratulate you on your talents. In the meantime I'll simply not assume what thresholds are what in the minds of operations that I'm not familiar with.

Alternatively you may be a 911 dispatcher with the power to define this. I hope you can communicate properly with apple becsuse your current estimate isn't really quantifiable.
Sometimes it's just for the scentiment. For example, YouTube has had a policy since 2015 that you can't have third-party brand logos in your videos unless that brand also buys out all of YouTube's banner and in-video Ads in the video, and it couldn't be a pre-recorded ad, it had to be a sponsor spot integrated into the content. Supposedly there was no outrage and this policy stayed in place, and was just never enforced. https://youtu.be/t17PVwreKEE?t=93
