I don't understand the rationale for "micro-blogging". Why should a site limit the length of messages to an unreasonably low number of characters, say 200 or 400? Why?

I understand there was a case for that in mobile texting because of technological costs and the ability to charge more for more messages. But in the web, why should you put an artificial very low limit on how much people can say?

And as to Twitter, why would anybody prefer a platform where you can't even edit your messages?
I am continually surprised that so many people take what the likes of Facebook/Zuckerberg/Musk says as if they are trustworthy.
Countercontrarianism is contrarian by nature. Prove me wrong.
I can see how you think we were only talking of federally "backed" loans, but I did intend my expansion to be all loans the government has "protected." Which, as the other poster points out, is basically all of them.
Oh sick! According to some of their GitHub issues (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/1202) they do setup Rosetta. I'll have to check this out then!

Ah yes, that bygone economic era of prosperity. In it's place today, a shrinking economy, one must posit from your comment? Surely current economics show a great decline in prosperity?

It would probably make more sense for copyright fees to be proportional to the revenue the company makes. Disney paying $500 to license Mickey Mouse after 5 years while making millions isn't equitable for a small business copyrighting a toy brand for instance.
Please stop. You’re completely misinformed here on how much is available for students to loan. I know multiple people that took out massive PLUS loans from the government that carry interest, are not discharged in bankruptcy, and far exceeded the limits you are talking about ($70k a year for grad schools).
They do though. I was a Pell Grant recipient. All I did was fill out the FAFSA and the grant was automatically applied. That got me through community college debt free.

When I transferred to a 4-year, I once again filled out the FAFSA and was eligible for an interest-free loan which covered the difference between tuition and my Pell Grant.
Another useful application of the Hilbert transform is through the Kramers-Kronig relations. Basically, for a causal signal (e.g. an impulse that turns on), the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier transform are related by a Hilbert transform. This is very useful, for example, when trying to extract a time-domain impulse from imperfect frequency-domain measurements, for example with a network analyzer. Rather than attempting to inverse Fourier transform the frequency domain measurements, which will tend to produce an unphysical mess due to measurement errors, it's often better to take either just the real or imaginary part and synthesize the other one. Even better would be to try to find the nearest causal waveform to what is measured, but that's a bit more difficult...

Another application is finding the minimum phase response given an amplitude response.

I figured connecting to Mastodon would serve as a PoC for tracking and marketing to people there. A kind of hedge that even if the fediverse took off, they could still make money from it.
I’ve long favored a copyright abandonment law where refusing or failing to make a work available voids the copyright.

I also think this should apply to derived works. For instance, if a film or a book is changed and only sold in the edited form, this should void the copyright on the original version.
You can always take the easy way out and just symlink stuff. This is what I actually prefer. Then I can edit those files in their native format and just check the updates into my .config/home-manager git repo

home.file.".gitconfig".source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink ./dotfiles/git/.gitconfig;
xdg.configFile."nvim" = {
recursive = true;
source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink ./dotfiles/nvim;

I don't think that's a fair take on the suggestion. What if it was something like Medicare where services were tax funded and costs are negotiated but fixed?
I think some places have tried it before, but if it's optional then people who think they will earn a lot will just get a traditional loan, and people who think they will earn less get the income based one. So it ends up not being economical to offer.
I would be pretty OK with capping the price of old games at 2× median sale price during the period they were on market or $40 adjusted for average inflation since the year they were released. Applicable no sooner than 10 years since their initial release.

This should be noncontroversial.
We will have to see whether Threads can maintain daily active users the way Twitter and Mastodon can. At the moment, I'm not seeing any activity on Threads that is "native" to Threads, meaning that it isn't just Instagram posts that are cross-posted to this new platform Meta is trying to create. In comparison to BlueSky, I'm not really seeing much out of Threads. It's similar to how Google inflated their G+ numbers by making everyone with a Google Account automatically a G+ user. Hopefully, Meta is not making the same mistakes...
First ~$50: I ran a web proxy website in high school that allowed students to bypass the web filter installed on the network. This was back before literally everyone had a cell phone and before 4G, so it was really the only way to surf MySpace, eBaumsWorld, and YouTube during class. I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow I cobbled together this site with PHP so that people could pay for an account through PayPal. I gave away accounts to various students and even a few teachers started using it. Every time the web filter blocked my domain, I just switched to another domain and sent an email to all my users with the new link. I didn't make much revenue because I only charged people a few bucks, and the site might have been a net loss, but it was fun and mostly for my benefit.

First $100: In the early days of YouTube, I ran a fan site for a channel and had permission from that YouTuber to collect ad revenue in exchange for running the site and backing up their content.

First $1,000: Probably the ad revenue from the same site I was running, but other than that, I got some freelance web developer gigs years later that paid out far more than that.
The rounding out is absolutely intentional. If we want certificate programs that are shorter and career-focused, those already exist.

There are other ways that privacy rights are enforced, but the right to not distribute a creative work (and prevent others from doing it) is also a right that people have under copyright, and I believe they should continue to have.

> Surely you're not suggesting throwing in jail anyone who downloads grandparent's photos off of his website.

Correct, I am not. I am saying that most places around the world do dictate what he does with a computer already, and legal systems don't need a technical solution to enable it. The fact that nobody can electronically prevent them from copying bits is irrelevant. We are discussing the law, and courts use prisons, not bits.
>> Er yes there is. A large tablet.

Nope. No tablets allowed anywhere near where I work, certainly not some random device that wants to just connect to the public internet to download some random pdfs from a defunct book subscription service.

>> The digital file will not decay

Yes they do. The chances that a tablet with a digital file, or a subscription service, will still be accessible in 10/20 years are not good. A physical book will last centuries.

>> Or if you're out in the field and you don't have space to carry an entire library of maintenance books with you. Which might actually be quite a common scenario in the military.

Nope. That is a very rare circumstance in the modern military. What is not rare is someone wanting a specific question answered about an old bit of equipment or place, something nobody has touched in a decade. Someone in the field needs info and calls back to the support unit. Suddenly that old paper book on the shelf about some forgotten topic or place is a literal lifesaver.

And in the real military, one cannot assume network connectivity. We have to keep working even when the lights go out, especially when they lights are out. Paper books can do that.

> all the while ignoring the lenders that are taking on too much risk. At least, they would be taking on too much risk, if they hadn't captured the market so effectively

The lenders? Risk? 93% of all student loan debt is owned by the US Government. What risk?

How is it everybody pretends it's the Big Evil Bankers making all the money on this racket? It's equivalent to the false narrative about private prisons driving the high US incarceration rate (when in fact it was over 95% government prisons across the decades that the rate was skyrocketing).

It's a government replacement funding system for the entitlement programs that are bleeding out. They had to find a new funding source as entitlements dipped red, so they're strapping young people with massive debt (forever rising interest payments) they can't discharge and that derives from magic fiat dollars the US Government 'prints' at will.

This is another case of the government abusing the population.

Anti abortion laws? Government.

Anti gay marriage laws? Government.

Anti trans laws? Government.

Segregation laws? Government.

The war on drugs? Government.

The war on terrorism? Government.

Foreign adventurism wars? Government.

Vast illegal domestic espionage? Government.

Non-existent social security 'lock box' (not filled with $10+ trillion like it should be; should be the world's largest sovereign wealth fund)? Government theft.

How many examples do you all need?
I have a stupid question, why do all of these conversations forget male athletes? Professional athletes are some of the best and prime examples of traditional masculinity as swimsuit models may be a traditional example of femininity for women. I personally don't care for any of these traditional examples or using them as a guide in some sense (i.e. maybe you don't care about sports, but you can still be fit etc.). However I understand that having role models or examples is important for some people, so I don't judge.

Relatedly, I don't understand how sports can be neglected when talking about discipline. Talk to any student athlete, whether HS or beyond, if you play sports while studying, discipline becomes a habit.

I think the phrase "toxic masculinity" did a lot of damage. At their core, the toxic aspects in masculinity are really just average human behavior. There are plenty of examples that are similar in female behavior, although on average women are perceived to be more compassionate, empathetic and kinder.

Whatever, I suppose. The pendulum swings to either extreme momentarily, but ultimately rests in balance.
>What’s wrong with a novice saying that?

Only real risk is people getting confused or frustrated as to why they're not making any progress. "Doing a bunch of stuff" is very different from training.

Progressive overload is the thing that needs drilled into the newbie's head. None of this is complicated, but doing a bunch of random stuff every time you enter the gym is a really good way to feel like your doing something all while accomplishing very little.

I've been lifting for almost a decade at this point. My philosophy on it boils down to: it's grueling, so... if you're going to do it, you should get the most bang for your buck. That said, changing up the routine in a structured manner is definitely a good idea very once and awhile (if only to deload for a bit).

> Seems to work for

I love when someone says "seems to work". In the strict sense, that only ever means "does something". Not necessarily "does what someone wants"... and never "does what I want".

When it works for those other countries, does it "do what you want"? Because it doesn't "do what I want" at all.

> With the monetary savings of #2, it could even give every medical student a fully free ride.

Won't someone think of the millionaire heart surgeons in the 1%? They obviously needed free rides back when they started, it's why they're only single digit millionaires!

> Funding directly by setting a price cap,

Starving the people you want to provide your medical treatment isn't the brightest strategy. Increases to price caps are always reactive, after they've been complaining for years. The bureaucracy demands that it take years more to raise the price caps. And by the time that happens, they've been bleeding money the whole time. It's a strong incentive for them to do all sorts of things that you don't want... and if you do it for any length of time at all, it trains them to do these bad things so even if you realize the error of your ways and withdrawn the bad policy, they keep on doing the bad things.

Quite clearly, the problem with health insurance is that we need a gigantic insurance company larger than any other in history, and that it needs to be managed by the paragons of competency, the federal government. Of course, they'll need to staff up... and with all the layoffs in the private insurance industry, we'll hire all those empathetic, kind-hearted subject matter experts.

Should be the best thing ever. I can't possibly see anything that might go wrong.
Type-1 and type-2 hypervisor is terminology that should at this point be relegated to the past.

It was never popularly used in a way accurate to the origin of the classification - in the original paper by Popek and Goldberg talked about formal proofs for the two types and they really have very little to do with how the terms began being used in the 90s and 00s. Things have changed a lot with computers since the 70s when the paper was written and the terminology was coined.

So, language evolves, and Type-1 and Type-2 came to mean something else in common usage. And this might have made sense to differentiate something like esx from vmware workstation in their capabilities, but it's lost that utility in trying to differentiate Xen from KVM for the overwhelming majority of use cases.

Why would I say it's useless in trying to differentiate, say, Xen and KVM? Couple of reasons:

1) There's no performance benefit to type-1 - a lot of performance sits on the device emulation side, and both are going to default to qemu there. Other parts are based heavily on CPU extensions, and Xen and KVM have equal access there. Both can pass through hardware, support sr-iov, etc., as well.

2) There's no overhead benefit in Xen - you still need a dom0 VM, which is going to arguably be even more overhead than a stripped down KVM setup. There's been work on dom0less Xen, but it's frankly in a rough state and the related drawbacks make it challenging to use in a production environment.

Neither term provides any real advantage or benefit in reasoning between modern hypervisors.

I wish the author thanks and the very best going forward in whatever he chooses to work on.

Having said that, this is going to cause not a little trouble for a lot of Lunarvim users.

I was quite surprised by Lunarvim choosing null-ls as it's default linting and formatting handling plugin.

I had to struggle quite a bit to get null-ls working with the new lvim release because as the author points out, the architecture of the plugin is very much exposed to changes in neovim and lsp.

Spent a lot of time after the lvim 1.3 release to get null-ls working as before. I even tried debugging the lua code a bit to get a sense of what was going wrong. Finally I just ditched it and went with a different linter plugin (and yet another formatter plugin).
Hospice and long-term care would have already picked through those bones. Unless you're rich there isn't much of an estate to go after.
The problem isn't just that the government is backing the loan program and forcing borrowers to pay. The government also allowed tuition rates to rise. Colleges and Universities increased the price of tuition because they were allowed to.
"Able to pay", but where is the "Want to pay?"

I feel you also need to argue: "18 year olds don't realize they are being ripped off", or "college is actually worth that much". It's probably a different answer for different students.
What do you guys use for managing digital assets, and by that I mean what software is installed where, what usernames/passwords are required for operating (databases, 3rd party API, etc), which versions, etc?

If you can find the top of the stack, you can read the contents with reasonable reliability. But the top of the stack is not at a fixed address, and if you are writing low enough level code (container manager, init, etc), poking around in /proc at startup is not a great idea.

If you’re wiring a real runtime library, none of this matters: the kernel passes a pointer in a register at startup.
It’s not meaningless at all. GH is not optimized to load quickly. In fact it has so much meaningless fluff abstracting you from working that I would argue it’s a detriment not just to load speeds but use speeds.

While I agree you have to apply the right amount in the right places, the reality is most websites don’t follow this and use many multiples more than they need. Which is why the Internet is so needlessly bloated.
I'm not saying that this definitely will happen, but this is a good way for meta to solve the bootstrapping problem for Threads.

The process would go something like this:

1. Interoperate with Mastodon and onboard users, quietly hoovering up all the data.

2. Wait 12 months to get a userbase.

3. Deprecate the connection to Mastodon, forcing people back into the garden.
Ironically, there are lots of blog posts documenting how people worked around the poor documentation, but seemingly few fixes being made in the upstream docs themselves.

Isn’t Russia capitalist too? I’m confused but your comparison. Sounds like you’ve just compared two markets without myriad variables.

The fact that student loans are backed by the government would in fact undermine this as a good example of a free market.
I was with you until "It is just customers in US are richer and are ok to pay more for the same service." How did you reach that conclusion? The other reason (which seems more likely to me) is that it is because the free market is not functioning because of monopoly/duopoly created by regulatory capture.

All it takes is one drunk driving incident or one drunken homicide incident to turn your life around, which I hope no one has to face. Majority or no majority, the facts and statistics speak quite well about the topic. As discussed in another thread about prohibition of alcohol, the main solution is to change the perception of people and have a common goal to get behind. Life will always be stressful. As an anecdote, today due to many factors including continued occupation and external meddling, even the most war torn countries in the Middle East such as Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan continue to have very low suicide rates, and drinking is not something common as it is prohibited in Islam.

> I'm not the author of the article

Ahh, fair enough, I misinterpreted one of your earlier comments.

> In general your attitude is wanting easy shiny articles instead of really going deep in why and what works well or no

That's not what I want at all. I'm happy to go deep. I love long-form content. I'm starting to investigate weights after sinking hundreds of hours into Yoga fundamentals.

I'm just in the stage of deciding where I'll invest my time next, and what I'm calling out are what amount to pedagogical issues with the structure. Simply put, there are more effective ways of conveying the same level of depth by focusing on the structure of information. If you were the author, this would have been feedback. Since you're not, it sounds like I'm just trashing the article, which is not my intent.
The one problem with this scheme is that it turns colleges into job training and nothing else. They would most likely drop any major that doesn't make a lot of future money.

There is still value in providing philosophy courses and music and art and all the other things that don't lead directly to high paying jobs.
There absolutely are provable results, you make observations, conslusions, you must show how those are linked with logic. "Is X ethical" is just one of milions of possible questions in the class of sciences called humanities, of which ethics are just a small subset. However, when doing any research including interacting with live humans, you must understably prove ethical conduct.
