I guess, fine for them, bad for us.

They'll end up confined anyway, just a lot of collateral damage on the way.
Similar to SimpleLogin, BurnerMail.io has been pretty good. Its a bit of a pain on mobile as you have to use the website, but its worth the lack of spam for sure.
Prices alone are not useful without volume. How is Hotel occupancy or how are dining out habits compared to pre pandemic? Maybe there are fewer customers with deeper pockets?
It's reality TV. You might as well submit Predator (1987) as evidence. (I'm not disputing that human cooperation is useful and necessary in the real world.)
> So you have 1 year to rewrite your app if necessary

Multiply this by the thousands of dependencies modern apps have and the only thing you will ever do is rewrites.
Notwithstanding my asshole-ishness in my original comment, I actually appreciate you asking these questions. I don't have all the answers. I can gesture at some of them, which I will do later tomorrow (today? Hi, it's 2:00 am). I started to write out an answer and just got sad thinking about it, but I didn't want you to think I was just going to ignore you.

I don't buy it. What in the world actually traces its roots to Genera in any way, outside of the Lisp microcosm?

Normally, Aboriginal groups were easily able to find enough food for their entire clan in three or four hours of hunting and gathering each day. They know which fruit and animals are available at certain times, how to gather or hunt successfully and how to store foods.

https://svacs.libguides.com/c.php?g=933180&p=6746395

How do we know this to be true?

There are still aboriginal people alive today that gather fod in the traditional manner - when I was 20 or so the Pintupi Nine wandered in, some stayed a few left and returned to the desert.

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30500591

There are still many people living hybrid lives, using modern metals and traditional knowledge to gather food, eg:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmCX7R-W4c

A key point here is 30+ thousand years of getting to know and shaping the landscape - promoting plants and animals over others, learning the movements and habits of animals, seasons of plants, not having closed in winters, etc.
I'm pretty sure the .wad was always there. It was just hidden in the .zip file in the Google Drive download as a red herring. It's not something to be avoided, just play the .pk3 file afterwards.

What do you think about internet browsers like Firefox and Chromium?
Wrong title, article has title of “The media is spreading bad trans science.” Leaving out the “trans” is misleading and will induce people to click through looking for the offence to science.
> So then...exactly how it is done today? TypeScript provides an API to get type info at compile time.

That's exactly it, it doesn't. That project you linked (typescript-rtti) mentions in the README that you must install and use it via ttypescript, a typescript wrapper that patches the compilation process to expose compilation details to plugins. Except that plugin API is unofficial and changes break the ecosystem built on it. For example, ttypescript doesn't work for TS 5 and the dev doesn't want to spend time on it. ts-patch has stepped in to provide a source transformer API for TS 5.

There's no way I can recommend libraries like typescript-rtti in commercial projects until something changes. I hope the ts-patch folks don't burn out.

I responded to the claim that Facebook is "run well" and Twitter is "not run well since Musk". You've extended this simplistic division by implying anything that isn't basic sandwich content must be verbal trash.

Political discussion and controversial topics need to be covered in order for society to progress, to solve problems, to canvas the range of solutions and perspectives. Heated exchanges, passionate disagreements, and ideas we don't like come with the territory. No need to be afraid.

If we fall into the trap of "nothing to see here" via enforcing certain people as truth-tellers and everyone else as "stupid sex-predator anti-vaxxer shills", then we have a problem.

It's much better to trust the average educated person can think for themselves rather than need Corporate sponsored Big Gov to push creepy "anti-misinformation" tactics, censoring, back-dooring and manipulation. That's my point done... what exactly was your point?
GOG's installers are made with InnoSetup, you can use a tool like InnoExtract to get the files out of them (source at https://constexpr.org/innoextract/ or in MacPorts/Homebrew).
robots.txt is already outmoded. It only can indicate that content can’t be crawled but a URL marked this way can still be indexed. As Google says “it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google” [0] You need to use other things besides robots.txt to preventing indexing.

Start with something small/easy to get the basic concepts and just keep going from there, like you'd do with any other skill. Making a Flappy Bird clone (for example) has become the Hello World of game programming.
> Not only it not constant time, it's not even it's polynomial

You understand that this is part of the joke, right?

If we really want to get down to the details and kill the joke, then you don't actually need to wait real time. Computational complexity is concerned with steps in a computational model, not how much time passes on a clock. Sleep sort uses OS scheduler properties and in a virtual time environment, time advances to the next scheduled event. That's what brings you back to actual polynomial complexity, if you assume this kind of thing as your computational model.

> - it's psuedo-polynomial.

If you lecture people then please at least get your spelling right.

There were naming conventions and fashions that changed over the centuries. Most importantly, slaves had only one name, while Roman citizens or freedmen had two or three.
All those things happened when the Rust crate ecosystem was still much in flux (back in 2017), and I had some good reasons:

- Serde had made a very slight but breaking change in 1.0, and at that time I think it was impossible to support both Serde 0.9 and 1.0 in a single crate without a hacky workaround (which I only learned much later). So if I had to pick only one version to support, it ought to be 1.0 as the change was trivial to resolve.

- Cargo's use of semantic versioning is, while documented, not strictly conforming because 0.x.y is considered compatible with 0.x.z where x > 0 and y < z [1].

- People complained a lot when Chrono went 0.2.x to 0.3.0 as well. This is IMO the biggest reason to issue a breaking change; if people would complain in either way, I wanted to make a choice that benefits the whole Rust ecosystem more.

If this happen today I would agree that I shouldn't have done that, but I think it was not that clear cut at that time.

Thank you, I clicked on the link because of your comment. It's actually more interesting than I'd expect. How does societal framing in kids shows affect children? The author takes a critical tone against things he doesnt like, but doesn't actually show there are any negative effects of this. He doesnt look into the developmental psychology of simplified ethical narratives, or how it compares with other children tv shows across times and countries.

He doesn't seem to consider analyses counter to his own. For example, framing authority figures as incompetent and promoting personal action to improve the world could be empowering and lead to better outcomes for children, and not to a neoliberal hell state in the real world.

Here is a quote from the discussion:

"PAW Patrol (re)produces common problematic narratives about crime and punishment as well as upholds major tenets of neoliberalism, primarily a faith in private enterprise, distrust in government, and emphasis on individual responsibility. In so doing, the television series encourages audiences to support the current global capitalist system that subjects an ever-increasing segment of the populace to invasive surveillance, causes environmental degradation, and harms non-human animals."

One thing that is noteworthy he brings up is the criminals are predominantly outsiders (migrants and visitors). Is this a malicious narrative, does it pander to childen's in built prejudices? Or does it follow from a structured rule to give children simple heroes (everyone in the main town is well behaved, you should be too if you want to belong!), and an excuse to the trouble makers (they don't know any better because they're not part of the club). How does this simplification of the world help or hinder children's development? The author appears to not interest himself too much in this area. It's not clear whether this article is a joke.

He does not look into whether any of these effects actually leads to those beliefs propagating in people who watch this stuff. Nor does he look into the intentions of the writers. He completely ignores that children have comparatively strange brains.

My take away is that I screwed up somewhere by not going into sociology. Those guys can have a good time.
I'm not a Signal user nor a Moxie fanboy but I believe Snowden used PGP because that's what Laura Poitras used, not because of its technical merits.
It's very sad to see Adobe XD go, it was honestly a very good app during its first trial when it was free.
I'm with you. I think most of the star wars movies are pretty bad, but some of them are pretty good. And the bad ones don't make me feel worse about the good ones.

I think there has been a serious cultural shift in this regard sometime during the 00s. Most people used to understand that sequels are generally shitty and didn't make a big deal of this. S-tier classics from the likes of Disney used to get shitty straight-to-DVD sequels (e.g. Lion King 2) and nobody even thought to whine about it. Even movies that had very well received sequels would sometimes receive further sequels that were stinkers, and nobody started ranting about how the original was ruined because of it.

Alien and Aliens were great, then you got Alien 3, AvP, etc.. a bunch of mediocre slop to put it nicely (actually I like 3, but I admit it's deeply flawed). But when did you ever hear somebody say that AvP or Alien Resurrection ruined how they felt about Alien or Aliens? Terminator and T2; great movies that got a bunch of shitty spinoffs and sequels, but nobody said at the time that their enjoyment of the first two was ruined by what followed. James Bond has been a rollercoaster of quality for decades but it keeps going and fans enjoy calm respectful debates about which are their favorites. The Godzilla franchise has lots of quality interspersed with lots of crap, I don't hear many people saying that the horrible Minilla retroactively ruined King Kong vs. Godzilla, or for that matter, that King Kong vs. Godzilla ruined Godzilla (1954). The first Jurassic Park wasn't said to be ruined by the cashgrab sequels. The Land Before Time is still warmly remembered, despite 13(!) direct-to-dvd sequels.

Even in the early 2000s, I heard a lot of people saying they didn't like the Star Wars prequels, but I didn't hear many people saying the first three movies were ruined. Not until a few years later did this attitude start to find traction.
Funny and i hope you are being funny, it’s the internet you never know.

In case you are serious, there is a difference between acting to harm (human, animal, building, company). Not acting to prevent harm, not acting to provide gain.

Is he the copyright holder? Being the last employee doesn't have anything to do with copyright, if you're an employee of a company.
Theoretically at least Android has a TOFU-like system where the developer signs the app (although Google also has a product where Google manage the keys which developers can sign up for). That doesn't help people who are specifically targeted as it's within Google's control on most devices to change that via updates to system components or to hold back critical security updates selectively via the Play Store channel but it does raise the bar a bit.

So from what I understand, HLAT lets the HV override guest VAs with its own translations? It's neat, I guess, but I can't figure out how this actually eliminates any real capability?

Like, attackers aren't going after the kernel for lolz, they're going after it to attack other user space processes. This protects the kernel but once you have arbitrary read and write in the kernel (including the ability to map arbitrary memory to user space!) the entire confidentiality game has been lost, no? Yes, of course, there's value in "defense in depth" but an ISA feature requiring new silicon which can be defeated in a day or two seems like an odd value proposition.

Some parts that are done can already be running while other parts are still compiling.

I'm seriously concerned about all the besserwissers in this thread.
I found Zod a lot easier to use once we were given the "satisfies" keyword. I still basically have to write my schema twice (I don't mind this) but I can ensure the two are tightly coupled. A change to either one will show a compile error in the right place:

interface Person {
firstName: string;
lastName: string;
}

const PersonSchema = z.object({
firstName: z.string(),
lastName: z.string(),
}) satisfies z.Schema<Person>;

When did Alan Partridge last appear on television? Is the character still active?
Google also introduced XML sitemaps (and noindex) so technically I could see how robots.txt could be consolidated into sitemapindex.xml with additional attributes. But it's not clear why and why now. Are there new requirements (from Google's PoV), such as tagging content as machine-generated? Not sure opening this discussion and changing the legal status of whether something may be crawled is going to end well for Google ie. from a copyright perspective (requiring explicit and individual consent), and in particular by entering legal terra incognita of moral rights vs generative AI, but maybe blocking competitors/AI startups is what they're after?

The Day Today was such a classic show. It often gets overlooked because of how iconic Brass Eye was but Brass Eye wouldn’t have existed if it wasn’t for Day Today and the former show is every bit as good as its predecessor.

I also quite enjoyed Time Trumpet. It’s a completely different show with different writers and comedians but follows a similar format.
Is it an identical resource? How do you know? But let's say they are identical. Where in the HTTP spec does it say identical resources may not be served at different endpoints? Nowhere, of course.

You talk about violating conventions and standards. The conventions are defined by the HTTP spec. The standard is the HTTP spec. Neither are, so far as I can tell, being violated here.
Sure, but in such a world asymptotic complexity has little meaning. For practical purposes it's useful to make simplifying assumptions that are done in complexity theory.
My enlightened centrist take on this is that some frameworks are good, meanwhile some frameworks are bad :)
While nowadays they are a bit more open to which languages to use on GNU projects,

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Source-Lan...

Back in the day it was mostly about C, hence why C adoption grew again as GNU/Linux gained adoption, when it was already being taken over by C++ in the Apple and Microsoft/IBM ecosystems.

> Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard feature: it will cause trouble for users. Even if GCC supports the other language, users may find it inconvenient to have to install the compiler for that other language in order to build your program. So please write in C.

Lisp was only considered as part of specific applications like Emacs, as you can read on that surviving version from 1994.
^^^ Please do this. I'm completely ok with "using transformers voids your nonexistent warranty" and the community can deal with transformer API churn. Exposing the API makes it easier to adopt those community solutions, versus me needing to explain to teammates why I switched all the `tsc` invocations to `ttsc` and promise it's not that sketchy.
You could argue that it's specifically true for projects, but the definition of average absolutely doesn't require that.

If for example you had 100 projects were 50 of them were built by expert teams who poured love into their work, and 50 were made by 12 year olds who spent one day on their projects before giving up, the "average" quality of the 100 would be a long way from either the great or the shit products.

Likewise if a group of ten people has five CEOs earning a million a year, and five waiters earning minimum wage including tips, none of the ten are "by definition" earning half a million a year.

Of course in my data sets there is a kind of "normal distribution" such that most objects are near the mean, but that needs to be found out not assumed.

I have no idea how many tech products are near the mean as opposed to near one extreme or the other, and doubt anyone could guess without bias and without actually researching the question.

Slightly offtopic but anyone with a dark sense of humour would do well to check out Chris Morris's stuff - I get a feeling most younger Brits haven't heard of it. Day Today and Brass Eye, both still funny, are wonderful time capsules satirising Britain as it was thirty years ago.

But IMO his finest work was Blue Jam - the radio comedy not the TV incarnation, hour-long episodes of low-key music and surreal sketches. Absolutely brilliant even today. Archive.org has a copy at https://archive.org/details/chrismorris_bluejam. Best enjoyed late at night.

Trigger warning: basically everything. The BBC would never get away with broadcasting it now.

I couldn't play Wolfenstein because it got too intense. I took a multi-year break from video games and I like what I see, but many FPSes are just too intense to me with its sensory overload. I get the appeal of Fortnite and other Battle Royale style games though, they got that sweet spot of competitiveness and ease of getting into them perfectly.
I don't have any inside knowledge, but I'd guess an EventFactory is tied to a specific Event type, so the FactoryFactory is about producing Factories for any such type? I'd never have guessed the third though.

Yeah, and I wouldn’t give Mallery a single cent for any of it unless he can demonstrate that Andrew Topping actually paid the executors of the Symbolics bankruptcy for it; if not, it shouldn’t have been a part of Topping’s estate.

I absolutely do not understand why Mallery is just sitting on it instead of making it available to everyone. It has zero non-historical value. Just put it out into the world and let it be examined as the historical artifact it is.

(That was my plan when I learned of Topping’s death. Unfortunately, Mallery beat me to acquiring it, and then just planted his ass on it.)
As a C# guy I am also amazed by this. Somehow the C# frameworks and community skipped this degree of pattern madness and took a more pragmatic approach.

I think this is because of the more industrial and less academic influence on the language and frameworks
I wish Django would take async more seriously. This comment gives a pretty good overview of the current situation (some points are more valid than others): https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/discussions/...

The Python ecosystem is strange. Where other dev communities will embrace new ways of doing things faster than most people can keep up — the Python community needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the light once ever decade or so. Python 2 to 3, ~10 years.

async/await has been in Python since 2015, it feels like it's going to be another 5 years before we see people taking async seriously in the big packages. Same problem we had during the 2/3 transition. No library support, no developer support.
Have you seen their share price though ? Boom.
Kudos to you for asking for honest feedback. I don't mean to pile on; only to clarify something about the pitch on your website.

The thing with "problem-solution-result" style descriptions is that they can rely on (insider) knowledge about both the problem and the solution. Your pitch / tagline works great for people who know about both... even though this is unlikely to be the case outside of people working for your company. I.e. you want readers / potential customers to imagine how your solution applies to their problem, not to the one you've described for them.

If a user / potential customer is tech-savvy enough to know about API testing, it's a good bet that they won't just take it on faith that AI testing will hand-wavily solve their problem. I think you can trust that your potential customers don't need to be heavily sold on the idea that API performance is critical. Instead, I recommend focusing on coming up with marketing copy to address the following questions:
* What does your AI testing do that internal engineers and a set of tests can't?
* How can perfai.ai augment engineering efforts?
* Can perfai.ai find things that traditional test-suites miss?

You sort of address this in the "No Code / No Config" section, but it's none too clear and takes some digging to figure out. Speaking of which "bringing the concept of Shift-Left to API active performance" is inside baseball.

Hope this helps!
