Because in case of the problem at hand, this is a complex interplay between Java's standard library's Java code and the underlying JVM. There is not much to discuss regarding "rust would make the code safe", because so does JS as it is single threaded.. That's hardly interesting.

If we put Java on top of Rust, then no, Rust no longer can help about this. That was my whole point.
There is also `/.rss`.
Semi-literate programming?
I don't know what you mean by this comment. Can you elaborate? Are you talking about the window border?
On the one hand, the proposition is kind of obvious and self-evident - "I'll trade you ${thing you want} for ${thing I want}" is the next step from "I'll beat you up and take ${thing I want} from you", and then basic money is just doing the trade in two steps. On the other hand, single-step trading - that is, barter - gets infeasible as the primary trading model very quickly. Not because of specialization (the "I want to trade shoes for food, but everyone already has enough shoes" problem), but because of fairness - everyone's memory and the "shared knowledge" established through gossip can scale only so far, and past that point, you need some other means to ensure exchange of goods and services stays balanced over time (and that your group can agree fair balance is being maintained).

Basically, either your proto-society develops ways to track balance of trade[0], or it'll grow a freeloader problem, which will keep it down and possibly even destroy the group. That point comes early enough that it's entirely likely the early societies that didn't develop money didn't grow large enough, and didn't survive long enough, to enter historical record.

--

[0] - Trading via a medium of exchange - that is, some form of money - is just one way to achieve it, but it has the useful property of being self-balancing, thus not requiring shared global state. That is, you don't have to keep official logs of every trade made by everyone in your group to keep things fair and balanced (or even define, update and defend what "fair" and "balanced" means, which is something everyone has slightly different view of) - you can just establish a common medium of exchange, give people freedom to individually negotiate the exchange rates, and you have a self-balancing system.
I'd agree with you a few years ago, but PCSX2 has made leaps and bounds since then. It's quite good now, maybe one of the best.

I think most people can figure it out. I’ve sent it to a lot of people and if people can figure Amazon outcome they seem to be able to figure out CamelCamelCamel.
I find it hard to get into Forth, in part because every time I ask a Forth developer what they use Forth for, they simply say "writing my own Forth". It seems to be Forths all the way down. When I tried to write a piece of software in it, a basic TODO list app, and had issues with dynamically sized arrays, every Forth programmer I asked said "this task is not suited for Forth". Okay, then what is? Very strange
So in Scotland they speak Scottish-English? Irish-english in Ireland?

Is this really a good idea? Won't the pdf thumbnail generator pwn you by merely navigating into the folder that contains the infected file?
It feels like you jumped past something that I remember being a big deal - The Ribbon. I remember when Office introduced it, and people hated it. It goes against your comment on using words instead of icons. But it seems like a useful solution for programs as feature lists grow and menus (and even sub-menus) become unwieldy so I've made my peace.

Personally, I think the Windows OS itself is one of the most problematic offenders. How can you expect better from third party developers, when MS uses at least 3 different UI paradigms for system settings? And F1 doesn't bring up help - it brings up a web browser!
Yeap, and what did the data say
I run a mediawiki instance at home (a few containers managed with docker compose) and it's been great for the last 3+ years.

There are a number of feature for organizing content (the main ones being Categories and Namespaces) and it has APIs (so i can write simple python scripts to perform actions -- like updating some index pages with a custom format).

The VisualEditor is very nice and it's fairly easy to embed images, videos or even pdf documents.

It's not exposed publicly but I can access it (both for viewing and editing) from anywhere using my own vpn connection.

I update the main software once in like 6-8 months so it's fairly low maintenance (this boils down to essentially changing the version tag in docker compose file, restarting and checking everything's working alright -- with the occasional fixes).

Since it's running at home (on a small computer that i would keep on anyway and that it's also doing other stuff) it's essentially free and i don't have to worry about space or any other metric.
I hope not tbh. I don’t want to go back.
I think they understand the error of their ways now. Disney especially have been guilty of overspending. After Thier year of flops, they're going to cut back spending massively. When you look at this week and see how a film that cost $15million is already more profitable than Dial of Destiny that's an embarrassing lesson to them.
My thoughts exactly. As long as reddit knows we can't quit on them, they've got us cornered. It's like a toxic relationship.
Yeah, customizability of toolbars to YOUR comfort is also something the modern UX "experts" cannot even fathom. Why would ANYONE of billion of worlds people have different preferences than what they served?!
You realize these corporations are just catering to what crowds want to see. Not always perfectly as we see in results, but that's the directions they all are taking, they are for-profit organizations after all, not some government branch being paid from taxes.

So what you are complaining about is rather shallowness or masses who want more popcorn fun rather than taking chances with experimental productions (just to be clear I am all for it, ie Tarantino broke through by similar 'taking creative chances', but folks do rarely visit unconventional stuff en masse).

Haven't seen Flash yet but these movies all aim to be next juicy Endgame. If you want to blame anybody for current direction of Hollywood, blame all folks visiting Avengers franchise.
ChatGPT like AI for working cheat
With the availability of ChatGPT like plugings and api I think lot of people both IT and NON are using it for automated boring tasks like email reply, writing documentation, code check and so on.

Apart from these, is there any interesting and/or weird automation that you have put in place to gain time from boring tasks or some automation that you have created by using ChatGPT like services?

I go to the movies around 20-30 times per year in the US. If you have a large family, it can get expensive so for heavy movie goers like me, monthly subscription plans like AMC Stubs ($24/month) make sense.

Sure, you have the occasional people with phones lighting up or ringing during the movie, especially in movies with strong teenager attendance, but it doesn't define the experience. Yesterday someone took a baby to a horror movie I watched (!), and there was a bit of crying here and there. This kind of inconsiderate person isn't common in my experience, it's just like the random annoying person at a restaurant.

To be honest, with the movie plan it's totally worth it, but that's me. I love movies and while I have a decent and comfortable watching setup at home, it's like watching a travel vlog vs actually traveling - a whole different ball game.
Sounds like a good idea with the API pricing, I'm sure some idea like this will get traction soon! Keep up the good work.
What ever happened with The Pile V2? I spent a couple hours searching for it, but the Eye is impossible to navigate and people on the discord generally invite noobs like myself.

>all studios have been hit with massive flops this summer

Ahh yes. The studio have been hit trough no fault of their own.

I think the studios have produced total shit for a long time. Destroyed franchizes with incompetent writing and it is catching up.

Latest Indidana Jones is case in point. Everything about that movie except Harrison Ford is bad. And the latest reincarnation of Olive Oyl of Popeye fame is so unfitted for the role of action heroine it is not even funny.
Making trashy movies is fine. Paying problematic actors a ton of money and letting budgets go out of control isn’t. There’s always a need for filler movies - some of the best cult classics have been just that. The other issue is they release movies at the worst time. IMO the new mission impossible is going to flop because it came out so soon before probably the two most anticipated movies of the year.
They don’t have to. They said just do hard things. It could be anything, for the author it was calculus.

Since that is not possible in the browser, is that something Capacitor provides?
I was eagerly awaiting "Dial of Destiny" for months before its release, and it was marked on my calendar, which was redundant because it was already a special day in our family. I wrapped things up at home and got to the theater on Thursday (which is technical Opening Day because everything has to creep up in time like Black Friday starting at 9pm on Thanksgiving Night.)

Anyway, I immensely enjoyed "Dial of Destiny", and I saw it with a fairly good crowd, although the front three rows were less-populated. The auditorium had a gigantic screen and seat-shaking bass audio. I honestly didn't notice all the woke feminism until it was pointed out to me; I suppose I am inured to all that by now. But all the settings and the chases and the hokey artifacts were amazing to me, and I've always been a fan of Indy and Harrison. Special place in my heart.

Anyway, on Saturday I ventured to the same mall again to see "Sound of Freedom". Now the mall was packed, the multiplex was packed, and the auditorium was even more packed than before. I had an aisle seat in Row B, and seeing the screen was a little off-kilter. But the film was fantastic. It was gripping, exciting, repulsive, and triumphant. I was glad to have spent the money on that ticket and supported these moviemakers. In fact, I will be returning to see it tonight, because I told some friends and one of them has gathered a group for this outing. So, spread the word; this is the must-see film of the summer, and you can probably find free tickets, because many are being donated in a "pay-it-forward" movement.

Regarding etiquette: I've found people to be polite when I go to the movies. Sometimes someone peeks at their phone and the brightness is way up. But I think the management is fairly responsive if someone has a bad experience. I've lived in this major city for 24 years, and I've probably never encountered someone so rude that it ruined my movie, or I had to report to management. There used to be some really janky theaters in the bad part of town where it was normal to be snarky, and yell at the screen and throw popcorn and stuff, and sometimes we'd go there on purpose, because people can really be hilarious when it's a Rocky Horror attitude to some campy horror movie. But that's a social contract and not being rude to other patrons, you know?
Right, I should have qualified the black hole mass. But it doesn’t affect the point, which is that just because equations tell us that some favorable path through spacetime is physically possible, doesn’t mean we could survive the trip.

As for Alcubierre drives, they’re interesting as a problem in highly speculative physics. But when people start taking as if we might actually build one, they lose me. I guess perhaps it’s kind of a fantasy game, like talking about gods, but if you’re not a believer or interested in playing the game, it just seems pointless. They’re not real and they’re extremely unlikely to ever be real.
That sounds a lot like trickle-down economics for movies. And considering we've passed day 50 of the writer's strike and what we know about the troubles of the CGI industry, I'm skeptical of studios funding anything for the love of cinema when they are already failing to properly fund the people doing their blockbusters.
I don't know about the setting, but when I have Visual Studio and Github Desktop on dark mode, they'll often overlap and it's not obvious which window I am clicking on if I'm trying to snag the title bar to move one.

Also, even basic Explorer windows often lose their borders when logging in via RDP, leading to white on white mayhem, but I've always assumed that's a bug.
> All new software needs to be done in the absence of UX folk. Seriously.

This needs further clarification. What kind of software would that be? I read your previous sentence as "I can do the work UX folk do", but you don't seem to be implying that UX is not important, right?
Your point about Indy definitely doesn’t match my experience or the experience of many others who think it’s one of the top three.

The masses were as shallow in the 80s and yet we enjoyed brainless actions all the time. The quality of stupid movies has done downhill even if the budgets are enormous.
I can see no evidence for kudzu.

I can see mention of Bermuda grass being bred. But I can't see mention if that's being introduced to new areas.

My issue with single-space is that it turns programmatically parsing out sentences from "pretty simple regex on terminating punctuation + (two spaces OR newline)" to "tangled mess of heuristics and corner-cases".

Obviously humans can figure this out easily, so I don't really notice or care if I'm reading something with single-spaced sentences, and it's pretty rare that I need to parse sentences... but the moment that need does arise, I'm gonna end up judging the hell out of that "personal choice" - to say the least.

Just get a dolby Atmos sound system for your living room and save money in the long term. You can watch any movies you want back to back at any time. Get a big enough couch and you can invite your friends.
I don't have any opinion on for either side as I didn't use any such UIs much. Is it possible that this is just nostalgia? Both screenshots look fairly similar to me.

Also, I don't understand why UI developers don't try to replace all those buttons and the menubar with an omni search bar. Something where I can lookup functions that I can perform but also documentation. Still, we should be able to call function also by shortcuts and maybe we also want to show some important ones below so that people could also click them.

I think people are very much used to typing into search bars (browser, Google, ...) so this might be a valid approach in general.
They are still bound by the constraints of the Web.

For example WebGL 2.0 (2009 hardware), WebGPU (2015 hardware), any GPU capabilities after 2015? You ain't going to get them.

She says Microsoft the same way Richard Stallman says it. Reluctantly accepting that it even exists. It also seems to have ruffled some jimmies here, which I love.
Thought about Clickhouse without Kafka even because it can handle streams of data.

But now sure what to do on failures.
In case there is any doubt on what the article says the answer is, this is the 2nd paragraph:

> Surely Richard was the least successful of English kings. His reign was brief (1483-85) and he left no legitimate issue and no political heirs. He destroyed his immediate Yorkist family and indeed the whole Plantagenet dynasty. He plunged England back into civil war. He re-started the Wars of the Roses that had ended with Yorkist victory in 1471; the conflict raged on for another 20 years. Richard’s principal achievement, albeit inadvertent, was to make feasible the vestigial claim of the obscure Henry Tudor and to create the Tudor monarchy. His regime was catastrophic.
I have tried doing this in the past. My main advice: make sure to charge enough. Making clients happy does take effort, and will harm your company.

I should have charged twice the amount (doing it now without any complaints)
> more importantly the concepts underneath that UI and the mental model it requires - will be related to the stuff they already know.

And, perhaps most importantly - if they don't learn, they can be removed. Big difference between UI for work, and UI for fun. You can design differently for a captive audience. This can be used for both good and evil (also see: Government websites).
Conversely, hard domains are the only ones where you can achieve mastery.
I don’t say they don’t work. I’m saying that the concept of mutual aid as described by Kropotkin, has not succeeded there. Please refrain to engage in sarcasm if your reading and context understanding is that poor.

I'd argue that even YouTube users who aren't paying for premium are paying too, just with their personal data instead of state currency. But it's still an exchange of value. Which IIRC, is the whole reason Newpipe exists, to circumvent that exchange of value.
It's possible to use Google Street View (or at least, panorama photographs that have been shared with Google) in some locations of the Disney parks and for some reason none of the faces have been blurred. However everyone looks thoroughly miserable in these photos. I wonder if it's because of the amount of walking involved, or if its because they've realised they essentially got scammed out of thousands of dollars for a multi-week holiday in hell?

so to clarify then HTML in older versions treats all whitespace as insignificant but can be overridden in combinations of newer versions HTML and CSS when interpreted by a browser that understands the styling decisions overriding the default behavior?
I've done a lot of contracting jobs and I get to see a lot of codebases and had the exact opposite experience, Whenever I see react or vue code, and in particular react, I feel like I have to relearn everything because the combination of external state libraries and to top it with translation specific code and libraries makes it such that each code base is very different from the other. It almost feels like you are learning a new framework altogether. The other issue is not directly related but because there are so many external dependencies, there is this constant slog work to keep everything updated due to constant vulnerabilities that keep popping in our CI tool.

Familiarity wise Angular has been probably the easiest to jump into and maintain long term, but it is a pain to work with due to the amount of ceremony involved to do even the simplest of things.

Svelte codebases due to the very nature of Svelte are simpler and very straightforward to get into, there are some svelte specific things but they aren't too many of them and are simpler to reason about when compared to codebases built on hooks, and even worse are hooks in combination with junior Devs. It is very very easy to write bad react code and you see this way way too often. Most react code out in the wild is badly written, you don't see problems because the browsers and modern computers are performant enough to hide them away but you do notice as the codebase grows and you realize it too late that the very foundation was wrong.

I don't mind Vue and just see svelte as a nicer DSL over it.
Everyone here seems to be missing an important detail and that is ppi. That 800x600 screen was probably running on a 14 inch monitor at an effective ppi of 70, with much larger text and clearly visible pixels. Take a 14 inch laptop and maximize the word processor and you’ll get a like for like comparison.
FWIW it never happened to me. Management never makes unrealistic demands re: timelines. They never make any demands at all really, we mostly just deliver the stuff whenever we deliver it. I work mostly for European companies though.
I think we probably agree on a lot of things! I would prefer to increase the relative power of local councils and often think about how to implement some version of sortition. You might be interested in the concept of "random ballot" (that's the Wikipedia page title) if you don't already know it.

The correct way to do this is use the MaybeUninit<T> type. Then you're responsible for correctly initializing a T before you call MaybeUninit<T>::assume_init() to get a T.
> That's hardly interesting

Rust and javascript having differences which prevent this class of bugs might not be very interesting, but it's more interesting than your point.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, your point is that a bug in Java cannot be avoided by switching languages to Java.
SUVs and pickups are a plague that cause no end of trouble. They need to be heavily taxed. Most people driving SUVs and pickups are only doing it because everyone else is already doing it and they feel insecure in a normal sedan if everyone around them is driving a huge 5 ton vehicle. I understand that, which is why the government should intervene to eradicate them from the roads.
Servers yes, embedded devices not really.
Well, I am sort of.

I have a 10" LCD as a secondary monitor, positioned above my main display. I wouldn’t want to replace it with anything else, it’s just as perfect for my needs as it gets.

Technically it’s 2K, but it’s so small that I use it at 2× scale. That means its effective resolution is 960 × 540, just 8% more pixels than 800 × 600.
The callout to the Easter egg was a nice social hack to see how many people read the article in detail
Not disagreeing with your first paragraph and will add, that memory management mistakes happen to the best. But it is also probably true, that Google and others do this, because they know there will always be someone committing shit, no matter, whether they are at Google or another big company. So they want guarantees, not blind trust.
