"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" takes place during the Prague Spring, which I found interesting enough in itself to read it.
> In DraftKing’s case, Robins realized he had a relationships problem. DraftKings had no relationships with lawmakers, which meant no open dialog or opportunity to create common ground. So they invested in lobbyists, started meeting with local officials, and ultimately helped craft laws that made lawmakers happy but kept DraftKings in business.

Ah yes. "Here's a tip to make the world worse."

Not that they're wrong, but that's such a disappointing example.
I don’t see it as just yes-or-no consensus.

How did it start? Some people adopted it, then their friends adopted it, etc. How does it stop? The same way!

If people are made aware and meet resistance (e.g., a person they really want to keep in touch with who doesn’t use that app), things change.

A boycott that does not drive the company out of business is not automatically unsuccessful: more people learn about the issue, some stores might start stocking competitor’s goods, etc. In a functioning system, if a bunch of people voted for the loser the winner would feel the pressure to adjust policies (vs. if no one did and the winner feels righteous enacting the extreme version of the policies you disagree with), and if not well next time more people may support the losing party.

Well before this "doom loop" shit was coined. Seems like a very long, slow loop if that's the case.

Also, it seems like you created your account to talk about the doom loop on this thread. Edit: no, correction, your account is older but this is the only comment?
Hi! Capitalism is not simply the exchange of goods (merchandise, in my case) and money. Capitalists accumulate excess capital (hence the name “capitalism”) through the exploitation of the environment and workfore (RE surplus Labour value). I do not have a workforce, and I use Teemill because they are—at least purportedly—sustainable. I am self-employed because I do not like to be on capitalists’ payrolls. That means I have to think of other ways to make money. The notion of making money any way but having a job (working for a capitalist) being bad is an internalisation of capitalist dogma.
One of the problems I find with mathematics education is that we seamlessly morph the introductory numeracy lessons of ‘counting’ and ‘arithmetic’ into the subject of ‘mathematics’, without ever stopping and telling kids ‘okay, now you can count, we’re going to start doing something different called ‘mathematics’.’

Mathematics is about examining things and understanding their essence - what statements can we make about all such things? How can we prove that? How can we use that to figure out other things?

But nobody ever tells kids that - they think they’re just in ‘advanced counting’ lessons.

I wonder whether a split in curriculum could help - similar to English language/literature. Mathematics needs a ‘numeracy’ program that starts in kindergarten and covers the mechanical ‘how numbers work’ stuff… then a separate mathematics program that starts in middle school and teaches reasoning and proof. Start with geometry.
Just run it on CPU, on your own machine. That's the cheapest way. You could also rent a free/cheap VPS, and even parallelize across multiple machines/cores if you need it.

You're missing the point; it's not that she doesn't know about Excel, or this phone, or anything else, it's that the usage of Excel in that video has been a "meme" for years, that she's been asked about it a bunch of times over the years, and that she STILL says she has no idea what "Excel" even is, and seems to be proud of that.

If she had said "Yeah, don't know much about computers, it was just a prop someone gave me" then that would be completely different.

You see this on e.g. HN too, some time ago "FizzBuzz" was discussed and some people seemed to be proud to be ignorant of the % operator. This really has nothing to do with "tech vs. non-tech" – it's just an attitude. It could have been about her holding a guitar wrong too: "whoops I held that wrong" is different from "I don't know what a guitar is, why should I care about guitars?"

If you have a data race, your program can have all sorts of inconsistent state in all sorts of objects -- even standard ones. In Java, I don't think you have anything like "undefined behavior", sometimes jokingly but meaningfully called catch-fire or launch-the-nukes semantics, but that doesn't prevent a data race from breaking program invariants in ways that don't immediately or ever generate exceptions.

There was a little optimization post a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36618344. Basic summary of the program, given a NUL terminated buffer like "spppssss", return an int where each 's' adds 1, and each 'p' takes 1 away. Several of the alternate implementations in the HN comments involved using strlen first, which has the nice of effect of being highly vectorized, and knowing the size, the compiler can better vectorize the actual logic loop, and a human can vectorize better still. If we imagine another piece of code that concurrently modifies the input buffer to write a NUL to the 0 index, it would change the length to 0. To be generous and to simplify the discussion, let's say the concurrent modification happens to become visible to our thread after strlen but before the following loop. Is there now a bug in this implementation?

If the point is that java.lang.String must ensure its pre-conditions and post-conditions are always maintained, because it's so fundamental to other security functions of the JVM, then there is no solution that allows for untrusted/buggy shared memory concurrency. Any suggested modifications to the constructor like "add a lock" or "copy the buffer first" will not work, and are missing the point entirely.

If the issue is the string intern-ing of such a dodgy String, then the best you can do is code intern() more defensively, to throw out detectably dodgy input. I could then understand saying intern() has a bug, but I don't think that was the point of the post, since there is no discussion of the intern() code.
Yeah, I was just about to re-share this until I read that.
How can saying that you're terrible at something and nervously giggling about it be prideful? The thought processes that began this thread astonish me.

Pride in ignorance is when people say there's nothing to some journalistic exposé, you ask them what was wrong with it, and they insist that they would never lower themselves to reading that kind of trash.

Not when someone who has difficulty reading says that they hate reading.

I hear what you're saying but also understand that putting games on gamepass costs money to microsoft in lost sales. It's like Disney - if all their movies go directly to disney+ they're training customers to not spend $60-80 on buying new games and instead wait for them to come to the cheaper monthly subscription. That isn't free - they still have to develop the game, and the return on the game is lower.

Sadly the common European dove is being more and more scarce, following the same path than the migratory pigeon. The Eurasian collared dove or Turkish dove is invasive, but spreading naturally. They don't overlap.

As they suffer predation by magpies, the more spikes that humans put in the nest, the more attractive became to nest on it, it seems.
Ironicaly, it's easier to picture the world ending, than to picture someone pitching the concept of a realistic "end of the world from the laymen perspective" movie.

That being said, I think climate activists need to have their "The Day After" moment, but the problem is that they have to distort science just enough to have a movie where they show _westerners_ taking the blunt of the damage.

Don't get me wrong, adaptating the first chapter of "The Ministry for the Future" would make for an harrowing look, too (*) - but watching 20 million people from India die in heat bulb, is, sadly, simply never going to have the same impact as seeing the house next door explode.

I was always impressed by their "two line" system where there's a visible short line outside of the ride and then once you've spent 30-40 min in that line, you turn the corner and are shown the real line which is another 40-60 min wait. For really popular rides, there's sometimes 3 line tiers.
I am mostly referring to the exodus of citizens who find California can no longer sustain them economically.

As a result, they're moving in substantial proportions to conservative states.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_exodus

There has also been a significant exodus of businesses.

"An exodus of California businesses is gaining steam, with the number of departing establishments nearly doubling from 2012 to 2019"

[2] https://www.ocregister.com/2023/06/05/california-business-de...

From [2] ( June 5, 2023 )

"Companies that have moved their U.S. headquarters out of state in recent years include Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle, Charles Schwab, CBRE, Toyota and Tesla.

Nevada, Texas, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Florida ranked as the top destinations for relocating California establishments, the data shows.

The findings resemble those in the Hoover Institution’s latest business exodus study, released last September. The Stanford University institution reported that at least 352 business moved their headquarters out of California from 2018 through 2021, including 11 Fortune 1,000 companies.

“Headquarter relocations are accelerating substantially, with no sign of reversing course,” the Hoover Institution report said. It blames the departures on a business environment “that ranks near the bottom of all U.S. states.”

The website can decide what are the laws, hence it can supress other users opinions.
Yep, this is the correct answer. Accessing released memory is undefined in C, but well-defined in Vale. The goal is to ensure that the user predictably+safely gets either a segmentation fault or an assertion failure.

We have a future improvement planned here too: for unrelated reasons (to support generation pre-checking) the random generational references implementation will soon not even unmap any virtual address space, instead remapping it to a central page, so we won't even get any segmentation faults, just assertion failures.
This is my experience as well. And unfortunately, many of my teachers feed into this. "Ok kids, today we're going to learn this new formula. You put a number in, do some arithmetic, and you get an answer out. I am not going to bother explaining the importance of this formula, how it came into existence, nor its practical application — likely because even I don't know. But what I do know is it's important because everyone says it is and it will be on the exam. Now get cracking." A parody of course, but I say captures the sentiment which completely drained my desire to learn math. I got good grades, but only after I learned to accept that it is futile to learn the importance of what I am learning and instead simply focus on rote memorization of solving the problem, even if I don't know why it works.
This copy has no external observable effects (it's only temporarily used in the constructor and never stored anywhere), and since the JVM is (under the JMM) permitted work under the assumption the original array doesn't change unless the thread itself changes it or there is some happens-before relationship with something that does, and is permitted to re-order same-thread execution as-if-serial, it's fully permitted to assume the original array is identical to the copied array, and it may elide the copy, since the original array isn't stored or mutated in any way.

Whether the JVM actually does this for arraycopy is an implementation detail. The JVM is permitted to perform this type of escape analysis and elision, and definitely does for some allocations.

In general arrays and concurrency doesn't mix very well in Java, and is something I'd avoid mixing on principle. You avoid most of these types of problems by having threads talk by passing around immutable objects via concurrency primitives, volatile references, synchronized-blocks, etc.

You went from declaring that you knew a specific date and quantifiable metric back to a fuzzy interpretation of numerous, dynamic factors for reaching a conclusion about when the war would end. With respect, you don't know.

That's the problem here, you are arguing deliberately for a forever war and writing it off as "no trust me this time it's actually a good idea". You aren't even developing that justification from first principles ("democracy good, Russians bad" would at least be consistent if not repetitive and circular) I think that's at a minimum unusual, and at maximum downright crazy because deliberately seeking to maximize a war a) obviously maximizes the human cost and b) in this case edges very close to an actual World War.

You make an announcement that you have a car to sell. Maybe provide some details. I don't think people mind announcement. They mind the intrusion and manipulation. So, I don't mind seeing in the paper that someone has a car to sell. But I absolutely hate when I'm forced to watch that you have the most beautiful car when I'm just loading an article.

Being averse against reading is not the same as being ignorant. It reminds me of that famous Bill Gates quote, "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." That person will master ways to learn things without reading a whole lot.

What are those issues? I've not followed the conversation, but I've been running btrfs for over a decade on multiple machines with different usage patterns without any issues.

I'm genuinely interested. Are those substantiated claims? Or just the general noisy rants you can find about essentially anything people have opinions about?
The large instances block other instances whose politics they don't like, and since the majority of Mastodon has a certain political direction, that in turn results in homogeneity in which political direction is blocked. It's admin tribalism that goes beyond what individual users can decide.
The experience of a low-end memory mac configuration is mostly ok, but lots of people are used to comparing storage and memory directly and have the impression you get 'less for more' when shopping Apple.

In a sense, that's true when you're using badly written non-native software (Slack, Teams, anything Java based ;) ) and you really should try out if your apps fit or upgrade right away. But even an 8Gb mac will happily run iMovie, Garageband etc for a student project or hobby use.
Thanks for clarifying "hair shirt". I'd seen you mention it at least 3 times previously in comments, and was trying to unpack it without doing a search.

I think my worst take was "they fetishize wearing someone else's chest hair, like a shirt?"

A lot of people are attacking you on the assertion that she’s proudly ignorant.

I didn’t take her response as proudly ignorant as much as indignantly annoyed. Rowland has been passed up time and again in her career. She’s a wonderfully talented singer and by all rights should have been as famous and successful as Beyoncé, but for whatever reasons, she wasn’t “chosen” to move up the ranks.

I think in that situation, it would be slightly annoying for someone to criticize (even in jest) some throwaway moment on a music video you made years ago, rather than take your music career seriously. I’m guessing she was more frustrated that her interviewers were basically using her for a joke than helping her gain some steam with her music career.

> At the end of the day this only strengthens the trend to PC gaming which only benefits Microsoft and can only hurt Sony.

Microsoft and Sony aren't the only companies making video games.

Windows isn't the only PC operating system.

In large part thanks to Steam, a lot of video games work on Linux nowadays.

Sony is free to implement their OS in such a way that you can play PC games on Playstation. Of course Sony doesn't want that, because it is Sony's strategy to wall off their ecosystem.

SONY IS THE BAD GUY HERE.

Strengthening PC market is a good news for consumers. Strengthening Microsoft - not necessarily…

Nintendo actually spent a considerable amount of time balancing exactly that metric for Zelda Breath of the Wild, according to a presentation they did in 2017. They replicated some Osaka landmarks in the engine to gauge how to space landmarks in the final game.

I always disliked Irish (and languages, in general) in school. However, now that I'm over a decade out of college I find it to be one of the few subjects I wish I'd paid more attention to when I'd had the chance... Sure, it's not particularly useful in adult life, but neither is organic chemistry, for most folks.

The main difference for me is that it's relatively easy to "fill in the gaps" for any other subject we learned from the ages of 12-18. Irish however, is niche enough - and learning resources generally technologically behind - that it's still quite tricky to self-teach or "quickly google" answers to things. That makes it unique from most other primary/secondary school subjects which are more universally taught across the world.
