Hello,

I released this recently, take a look:

Ada has better tools for the task if mutability is allowed.
I honestly don't think Disney is going to bother this time. The return on investment for bribing, err I mean lobbying members of Congress for this isn't really there. With their acquisitions of Star Wars and Marvel, they have far more valuable IP to milk.
Yeah, if the service/website goes down any of its URLs will go down with it. Can happen to anyone. By being down I mean policy changes, moderation or server down. Pretty lame/catchy/scammy title, as the problem is not at all related to the URLs themselves but the services.
this is so rambling that i didnt get to the point where they explain why reddit is doomed.

I dont think reddit is doomed, they just need to reign in the moderators and their ban lists, and enable some competition between subreddits (right now it's almost impossible to find alternative subs even if with search)

Bringing the Arcade Home, in 1984: The SG-1000 Arcade
TLDR - the author finds a single boutique phone with Signal support and starts fantasizing about a dumbphone replacement. After realizing they rely on Apple services, they insist that an alternative is not possible and conclude without further inquiry or research.

I feel that's a separate topic though and I won't assume that the op for example is misdiagnosed. I can only take what is asked at face value really.

I will say though it's interesting how in the US ADHD seems to be as common as hay fever whereas in the EU seems to me that it's very rare to be prescribed for ADHD.
I think the problem is more there matter of booting a replacement OS on them, and getting drivers on a supported (read: gets security fixes) kernel.
It depends how much you value/respect your co-workers. In a high level team “good insight” can mean “great work”. I am not saying you disagree with this, but you may have made assumptions about the parent’s team and his relation to it. Conversely, a “great work” from a CEO can mean nothing to a person
A couple years ago reddit switched from a link aggregator to full blown content stealer and rehoster service. Including bans for linking to the original picture/video.
Rodinia Is a Different Supercontinent
My secondary joke reference is asbestos factory ( also technically not existing, but the concept is the same -- highly dangerous environment ). Obviously, I exaggerated a little bit.
And, at that time, hopefully society will realize that the parent has this militant request was traumatized and is making irrational demands.

To me, fewer guns sounds like a better solution than more guns.
Side note to this: I noticed that a smart friend had trouble learning anything outside of trivial programming due to unfamiliarity with boolean algebra and boolean logic. She only seemed to begin to understand the concepts when relating them to patterns used in knitting. If those were more commonly taught in basic math, it might make programming generally more approachable.
Can you elaborate on this a bit?

Sabine Hossenfelder also had a video recently on entropy:

I wasn't writing it from any specific perspective?

The original ideal and present situation seems fairly clearly spelled out in an unbiased manner.
Maybe we're speaking past each other. Idempotent operations are implicit promises. Network partitions require idempotency at some level to ensure robustness. That means any robust distributed protocol requires promises at the core protocol level.

Trying to hide the promises behind a synchronous client interface is unnecessarily constraining and inefficient, like requiring large stack contexts that can't be restarted or persisted, and so can't be simply resumed after partitions.

> As a mod don’t you earn a lot of karma or gold?

You earn karma by posting popular content. You can do that whether you are a mod or not.

(Well, in some cases a jealous mod might remove your posts, and then re-post them as their own. So if you are willing to abuse your mod position, then you can earn karma by leeching off your users.)

My suggestion: use the term "Patron/Client" instead of feudalism and you'll be able to see/show all the cruddy political effects without having to map everything in Techbroland to the legalities of grazing sheep.
Don't. Just dump all reviews upon any product change (at least by default). Everything goes into a secondary bucket of "Old reviews for a previous version of this product." With a clear notice that "product features or even core functions may be different".

They love money and fees. They can offer a review process to keep reviews for a new version once manually reviewed and confirmed as substantially the same product, perhaps with new images of new packaging.
The idea is to use the best compressor possible. So called Kolmogorov complexity.
> This seems like a continuation of the never ending quest for people to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of a corporate profit they will never see.

Reading the essay I didn't see a reference to "the betterment of a corporate profit". Doing good work doesn't mean starting a startup, if this is what you meant.
Wow that page is mobile unfriendly.. From the w3 none the less
It’s possible as in you have a Turing-complete set of tools. You would basically have to recreate something like Nix for it to properly work, and would only end up with a much worse version of it, without the huge amount of work that goes into it (both the core, but especially the “wide ranging software support” part).
I'm not seeing the imposter side of things personally but maybe he does come across like the old addage : dumb people think they know everything, smart people know they know nothing. Or something to that effect.

No but we use a GitHub repository that's auto synced every minute from everyone's dev environment specifically for sharing texts. It's like a "poor-man's" collaborative editor, without the CRDTs. We organize texts into folders, and it's a mix of markdown, CSV, pure text and "DIY formats" like "the way Pete does his todo lists".

Advantage is that everyone can bring their own IDE to have their own preferences / formatting, etc -- to any code snippets, or other text, that we share.

Low tech.

Thank you for this link, I will investigate! :)
> Until the tooling introduces a breaking change or new cooler way to do things appear and people stop supporting the old way because "everyone switched anyway".

For those not familiar:

Nix tooling introduced flakes. The community generally likes this feature since it provides a couple of significant improvements on how nix gets used.

There was a breaking change between 2.3 and 2.4 for even the non-flake code; but, that was partly because 2.4 was a huge release. (2.3 released in 2019/09; 2.4 in 2021/11). Releases since then have been smaller and more frequent.
Your post really comes off as if you are sore about being banned from some sub.
As someone who lives outside America and has a poor opinion of America's healthcare system, I think that life expectancy is meaningless without discussing quality of life for octogenarians.

Even with the slight decrease, Americans' life expectancy remains just short of 79 years, but what is it like to be that old? Modern medicine and infrastructure has extended the body's lifespan, but no such improvement has been made for the brain's lifespan.

I remember going to visit my grandfather on the dementia ward, surrounded by the equally addled. I remember the toll on my grandmother of caring for him before he went into professional care, to the point that she died before him, younger than him. I have to ask, was the money spent, the labour expended by professional carers, worth it?

I'm not sure that when my time comes, that I want money to be spent keeping my body alive while my brain degenerates. If one can't enjoy those extra years, what is the point of having them?
You would think, but nobody's done it. Maybe fixing it that way breaks direction functionality somewhere else, like aiming or menu-ing. For the life of me I have never been able to figure out why the devs did that.
An interesting read related to this is the following article, which begins with von Neumann's comment that ``Nobody really knows what entropy really is."

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228935581_How_physi...
At what point the heat becomes unbearable is personal, but a study published in 2010 estimated that a "wet-bulb" temperature of 95F (35C) at 100% humidity, or 115F at 50% humidity is probably as hot as most humans can maintain a healthy core body temperature by sweating. Above that "critical environmental limit" our body temperature rises continuously and the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke increases.
> Duh. It mirrors because the support America could muster for its invasion was not much more than the support Russia mustered for its invasion.

This is literally not true.

The invasion of Iraq had support of the following countries.

> Australia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom and (United States).

The opposition to the motion on Ukraine is supported by these countries.

> Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea, Russia, Syria

The invasion of Iraq was supported by closed to 10x more countries.

> Probably a similar order of magnitude that supported the invasion of Iraq (in spite of furious and enormous protests for doing so).

Once against objectively not true.

The population of the counties that voted against the motion for Russia to leave Ukraine

> 203.65 million

The population of the countries that voted to invade Iraq.

> 954.346 million

There was 5x more support nearly to the invasion of Iraq than the opposition to the bill of Russia to leave Ukraine.
One theory I've heard is that using a protocol with a standards body backing it gives them points with regulators.
People with high-paying careers rarely choose to radically reduce their work hours after achieving financial security. I don't think the idea of doing great work often enters the equation.

Why buy an iPhone at this point? It's not that there aren't alternatives, there are tons of Android smartphones that do what you want and for cheaper.
rate limiting twitter app usage to a point where regular users are not using the app anymore should be directly cutting advertising revenue
Well, I’ve always tried to make my service available through Tor, but now that I faced an attack of 20,000 RPS distributed over all the exit nodes of the Tor network making requests to a computationally expensive (and non-cacheable) endpoint, and came out with 6x the hosting bill I usually get, I decided to block the entire network.

Maybe there’s an alternative reality where people do the right thing, and in that world I wouldn’t have to block Tor, but I don’t live in that world.
All I can do is give you a couple of Github ticket links where users of my libraries stumbled over the issue (and with different symptoms):

- https://github.com/floooh/sokol/issues/376

- https://github.com/floooh/sokol/issues/404

- https://github.com/floooh/cimgui-sokol-starterkit/issues/6

We then added a dummy call to a no-op pthread function, so that users at least get a pthread-related linker error and can figure out that they need the -pthread/-lpthread options instead of running into random runtime problems:

- https://github.com/floooh/sokol/pull/456

Also, on my Ubuntu laptop this problem didn't happen, that's why I didn't catch it during development, it seems to be specific to some distros or personal config changes.

The affected code bases don't use threading and didn't link pthread before (neither statically nor dynamically).
It was an half rack with width that can be regulated.
I knew I wanted an half rack or a rack, but the recommended ones on blogs and such were always too big for my taste (also I'm not gonna lift heavy, especially at home).
I actually stopped looking for one because I thought there were none fitting my needs,
then one day an ad slipped with this model that had good features and reviews and I bought it (after researching it more of course).
That's an interesting argument. Not sure it would hold up. I don't think an IP alone counts as PII, since the ISP would have to be queried to actually get any contact info.
Yes, and the Sabine video contained far more information (lower entropy?) and one genuinely interesting idea I’d never heard before. The idea that heat death may not be the end of intelligent life! The concept this relies on is the idea that macro states are actually just combinations of micro states all of which have the same probability. E.g. the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 3, 1, 4, 2, 5 are equally likely if you are selecting 5 random numbers (1-5), but the ordered sequence is an important state to us. The Big Bang -> heat death is just super unlikely state to super likely state, but these macro states are poorly defined. They matter to us. So perhaps the universe goes on with complex life harvesting neg-entropy from a heat death configuration of micro states as they slowly transition from “extremely unlikely” to “likely” in the context of something incomprehensible to humans. I feel like the idea would need more mathematical meat on the bones to go further, but still an intriguing thought!

LLVM Lands Initial Support for Fat LTO Objects
Yes this. It clearly seems to have emerged as a result of Twitter’s direction since, near as I can tell, Dorsey only started down that path when it became clear that Elon might not be the savior he’d hoped for.

In which case I’d hope bluesky planned for the possibility of a rapid decline driving people to <alternative> and made plans for very rapid scaling and it’s just that implementing them is still non trivial.

And/or they didn’t imagine the occurrence (somewhat reasonably) of multiple events on the magnitude of those from the past week driving so much interest this fast. I don’t even use Twitter but the recent news, and awareness of a (hopefully) healthy alternative that I might find worth my time, how driven me and probably other like me to turn to interest. How does one even get into it?
Wait, does this work on Linux with wayland?
My daughter and I were recently playing Super Mario Bros 2 on my childhood NES and an old TV, and I was struck by how fantastic the shiny cherries looked, implemented with a single white pixel. An emulator on a modern computer, even with retro CRT effects, somehow completely fails to replicate this.

Another thing that struck me was the animated shine on coins and question blocks in the original SMB; they look like glorious polished bronze glinting in bright sunlight. I don’t understand why this would be lost in the emulator.
I noticed they use old Micky designs on a lot of products and logos.

I am half suspecting they are going to try and argue it's a trademark or something.

The Air Force has been wanting to get rid of the A-10 for a long time. It's not a true fighter jet and it isn't sexy. Besides, it's not the Air Force's butt that's on the line for CAS. I think that the Army and/or Marines should own the A-10. They're the ones that really have skin in the game for CAS, and therefore will do what's best for the mission.
AI Fatalism Won't Help Us Deal with Its Actual Risks
The argument isn't that "feudalism" maps poorly onto modern concepts, it's that "feudalism" is a modern concept that doesn't exist as such historically. It seems to map well onto modern forms of oppression because the word is essentially synonymous with oppressive behavior.
Quite so. It's fascinating how we take a compassionate, rational approach when it comes to not letting our pets spend the remainder of their lives in misery yet we cannot extend the same care to ourselves.
I think there was a typo. If pixels were taller than they were wide at 256x224, then they'd be even more so at 512x224
There is always too much of X, and if X works for one person it might not work for someone else, people are different. Truly, writing didn’t become valuable to me until grad school, when people would actually read what I wrote. I don’t see much point in writing to myself, I at least have to think that I might have an audience to explain something to, so private journals or diaries aren’t really useful aids for me, but other people have different preferences.

I would love to find a replacement to natural language writing for organizing and developing thoughts, one that was more structured and could be manipulated systematically. A programming language for thinking I guess.
Tony Soprano – Understanding Television's Greatest Antihero
Sorry, but it's a internal website for the T.A. in the university where they can choose the building and hour to teach next semester (~500 persons).

I have a shared module for the common parts of the webpage (like footer or header), parameters for the info of the user (like name or email), some macros like for/user to iterate through the whole list of users updating the parameters, and a macro to hide all the boilerplate at the top (it probably should be a #lang, but a macro is easier to write).

> For example, it’s essential for me to have a notebook at hand to take notes during meetings and formal discussions. I write phrases, loose words, make small diagrams, jot down some reminders. Some of them are never to be re-read again, others I revisit to structure them down into a concise structure. Most of all, they help me think about a problem.

This struck a chord. I've extensive notebooks going back years which I've never really re-read because I remember most of them. But if I didn't write it down, I can't remember the meeting/lecture/thought.

I've personally tried a bunch of writing and note taking approaches, and since it's such a personal process your personal preferences strongly dictate what works for you and what doesn't, at least in my experience.

Org mode is crazy powerful but has a steep learning curve, and coupled with being new to emacs it can be quite daunting. While I personally use doom emacs as my daily editor I found org mode didn't suit my way of working.

I recently re-discovered Obsidian and I've been enjoying it a lot. It's very flexible, works in a way that I find intuitive to my brain and it's allowed me to keep a (almost) daily journal, as well as turned into a repository for notes I make about work projects and everything else. I'd recommend checking it out alongside org-mode.
People like the prestige, power, and ability to shape the conversation.
The Dark Ages is called that because it refers to the power vacuum left behind in the wake of the Western Roman Empire's fall. The regional power that maintained law and order was no more and it was now every man for himself. Economies and cultures can't flourish and will recede when everyone is busy murdering and backstabbing each other, thus called the Dark Ages.

It wasn't until Charlemagne united most of Gaul and created the Frankish Kingdom that some semblance of peace was restored, ushering in the Middle Ages and the return of economic growth and cultural development.

As an aside, everything I read and was taught about the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, and the Renaissance back in my day was deeply intriguing and rich in wisdom and knowledge. It saddens me greatly if it's all been whitewashed down to "Dark Ages wrongspeak, Early Middle Ages rightspeak" and "Middle Ages backwards, Renaissance forwards" today because that is so grossly worthless.
My preference is to take the point in the center of the cube and make pyramids to each of the 6 faces. There are twice as many pyramids but they are half as high.

Disenfranchisement, after reunification they were left with little generational wealth, liberalism spiraled them deeper into a hopeless situation, no jobs, no economic future, impoverishment. Under liberalism the only alternative offered to them is the far right.

During the cold war and after, the US and anglosphere was mostly interested in the destruction of left ideology, labor unions, left parties etc. were all targeted. The right offers a safe outlet for people with those grievances, it doesn't threaten capital, so it was always allowed to linger in Germany not just in the east. It's deeply rooted in establishment and civil organizations, in university fraternities (schlagende verbindungen, the CSU etc.). The allied supported and used and bolstered far right groups all around Europe (Gladio, NSU, etc.) in their fight against socialism and people on the left. We still feel the effects to this day and state and federal police and intelligence still operate this way.

Protests in Germany you see police protecting far right groups from leftists, not the other way around. It's a necessary aspect of liberalism to allow the disenfranchised the outlet into right wing extremism.
Do you see any irony in the fact that you're voicing your disagreement... in writing?
