>“Culturally relevant” is the one game that Twitter has won, far more than Facebook, and arguably more than Instagram

i agree with this, but i don't think it fits nicely into the author's map of social networks. twitter is "bottom left", but their main threat for cultural dominance is tiktok, which is firmly "top right". being culturally relevant doesn't seem to have any relation to where a service falls on their map.
I was looking at this as an upgrade pick and don't have any re-arrangement with my TESmart (TES-HDK0402A1U-USBK). What monitor(s) do you have?
The plug-ins for JetBrains are often of a substantially better quality. Their database management extension is quite awesome. You get a lot out of the box too. Their support is usually very professional, if you ever need them. It runs on a JVM so you can tune it to your particular project requirements if you need but the defaults are fine. You shouldn’t turn on too many code inspections as they can slow down the UI responsiveness but you can tune the JVM and use a latency minimizing GC such as ZGC, though this is not something a regular user would ever need to look into I think. This will sound like an advert if I go on. And since I do a lot of other stuff in their IDEs, I have a uniform UI and UX.

That’s nonsensical, because you burn the methane and put the carbon right back into the atmosphere. It didn’t clean anything. It’s merely a carbon neutral form of chemical energy. H2, ammonia, methanol would be just as carbon neutral.
Interestingly Meta went with a django monolith for their new app and their goal was definitely in the order of 100 million concurrent users.
I imagine models will be chosen over another for very specific use cases, at least until we can ad-hoc generate LLMs specific to what we want.
The audio receiver industry has settled on HDMI being the only way to get uncompressed surround sound (5.1+) from an external device, like a PC. I wish they would do that over USB, too. It sucks having to configure an external display (even if duplicated) just to get good sound.
Non-"here's my theory as to why this would never happen" counterpoint: they bought Bethesda and made Starfield MS platforms-only.
It isn't just linux namespaces, you have mounted namespaces, cgroups, seccomp filters etc...

From what I remember it certainly isn't as simple as you present it and additional features tends to involve additional surface area.

Other aspects in the past was that Firejail's approach to capabilities and namespaces enabled it to act as a setuid binary to gaining root privileges on the host.

Snaps I seem to recall had defined mounted namespaces that didn't need this privilege escalation. Their apparmor profiles are well defined and tunable via the connections mechanism. Although I seem to recall that too having some CVEs present.

In terms of trust though, I rather do trust snaps a lot more than firejail even if the latter is more tunable. I see that latter aspect as a downside, relative to snaps which already come confined and tuned.

There is also systemd itself which can be used in a similar way, and also has quite a nice tool for checking the exposure of a given sandbox.

It is a question of the pay to qualify of life at work ratio and the volatility of it.

Quality of life at work means things like having to travel, volatility of schedules, health risks from the work, quality of coworkers, etc.

Volatility is are you getting paid a salary every 2 weeks, or are you exposed to more fluctuations in landing jobs, and dealing with customers who do not pay.

Maybe the situation has finally turned a corner where an office/white collar job is no longer a no brainer.
The reason why I switched to using the DisplayPort is that it’s the one port that supports higher refresh rates ont my Dell monitors. I didn’t realise it was more “friendly” than HDMI (which comes in various quality standards).

I've found that IntelliJ is much better at having code completion always work, even in the presence of macros. Rust Analyzer has a tendency to randomly break down when you're writing code, even with something as simple as the vec![] macro.

I reported one such case here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/12524, but this still happens to me pretty frequently.

I don't think this is a positive signal. Even in the 2021 boom, going public through a SPAC was still seen as what you'd do when you wanted to shift the bag to retail investors and were willing to take significant dilution vs doing a proper IPO. A bunch of companies with poor economics or differentiation did it to get out before their chickens came home to roost (OpenDoor, SoFi)
> It would be incredibly stupid for MS to make CoD an xbox exclusive and completely misses the business case for buying Activision in the first place.

So why are Redfall and Starfield Xbox exclusives? Wouldn't they make more money by releasing them for Playstation too?
I've found that this is best dealt with along two axes with constrained options. i.e., request both a string and a boolean, and if you get boolean false you can simply ignore the string. So when the LLM ignores you and prints a string like "This article does not contain mention of sharks", you can discard that easily.

If you tell it "Return what this says about sharks or nothing if it does not mention them", it will mess up.
> vertical (not horizontal) acquisition [..] any acquisition or merger would be a monopolist’s act

Past a certain size, it absolutely is. E.g. a food producer will have a much harder time entering (or staying in) a vertically-integrated market (as an independent entity), where all the grocery chains privilege offerings by producers they own.

Using other near-monopolies as argument for why new ones should be allowed to form will lead to a very consolidated market, which is exactly what anti-trust is supposed to prevent.
This is just math, so I will continue to elaborate.

Mouse clicks and distance are two of the most basic metrics. And straight forward. So why wouldn't you optimize there?

But what you're referring to is that which can offset and add to those metrics. "Mouse click" in and of itself means nothing in the context of the program. So it's the "other stuff" that pushes against the goal being accomplished in 1 click.

So the answer is, considering that "other stuff", what is the most efficient, as in, fewest clicks and shortest distance possible?

The gripe that should be had is not even optimizing on this level, and even worse, prioritizing "fancy" animations as if that's a good thing and as if that's your main job.

> The most efficient path for a person is not necessarily the one with the fewest clicks/shortest mouse travel.

The most efficient path for that person is necessarily the one with the fewest clicks/shortest mouse travel (for that person).

And that is the optimization process of 1 use case (user usage case path).

The goal of UI is to optimize efficiency across most use cases (and hence users) as measurably possible.

(all the fancy animations can be added after that, so you can bill for those hours, and add an obvious "animations off" button, and you'll literally make everyone happy).

Under Aesthetic-Usability Effect

I think this is true for someone’s first interaction with a thing. But if you rely on something, minor usability issues skyrocket in importance, and aesthetic importance drops really fast.

Yes, however the update still needed to be pushed by the OEMs themselves, as Google didn't want to force their hand.

Naturally they rather sell new devices.

GSI came later as Google decided to make way for most components to updatable via Play Store.

ART was the last one to make it on Android 12, specially since they couldn't ignore Java evolution any longer, as Java libraries started to become unavailable on Android.
Exactly.

It's unfortunate that accessibility is usually treated as an add-on in a lot of 'UX' project. Focus is heavily on visual design.

Accessibility needs to be considered from the start when designing new apps.

Making things accessible means making it easier for all users.

And what are those things that made you stop using those sites?

The current status quo is on a path to being harmful to both.

I love Nintendo but they compete more with Apple and Google than they do with Sony and Microsoft.

If Microsoft exits game consoles next generation Sony won’t have any real competition and that will be very bad for consumers.

Microsoft needs their own heavy hitting exclusives and they need them sooner than they can home grow them. This acquisition is one of the only ways they can do that.

Indeed. The Guardian is a source I consider to be fairly ideological on certain topics, and belongs to the camp that would largely be in support of gender-affirming care. Yet despite their bias, even they gave a decent review of the book.

For those who are earnest about understanding what's up, the last thing you should do when evaluating the comments of a particularly politicised topic is to automatically deem a downvoted comment as being on the "wrong" side. This is how you inherit opinions that you were never truly convinced of in the first place. Always go to the original sources, and given how politicised this is in the US, it's ideal to see how the UK and EU are handling this. It can't harm to look outside of the bubble you're in, you own your opinions afterall.
It’s so refreshing to see someone actually write this about prompt writing. It makes an extremely refreshing change from Twitter AI influencers posting their ridiculous prose as some marvel of harnessing LLMs.
pragmatic engineer and levelup from Pat are the ones I read the most. The first one I'm not paying for, as I don't have the bandwidth to consume more than the free edition as it stands. I probably read one article per month from both of them, I prefer Pat's and maybe is a bit more unknown.

We found adding a slight delay in between the user clicking the payment button and showing the success message in the checkout improved trust. It felt like the system was doing something important, whereas if happened instantly people worried that something had gone wrong because it was ‘too quick’.

The user is part of the system too, and sometimes giving them a bit of time to process what’s happening can be beneficial.
Well the solar stuff is in the future too :)
Toolbars have text labels. Ribbons have a bunch of small shitty icons on a flat UI background. I can memorize toolbars because it's a set of motions, words, and visual cues. With a Ribbon UI it's a mad search for what I want, hovering over dumb icons to see a label, and repeating that process until I find something. The damn search and rescue process totally blows away my working memory and I won't remember where the button is next time I need it.

It's about comparability of the two operating systems with respect to similarity to 'adware' which is characterized by

- nagging
- online accounts
- tracking user behavior
- 'free' cloud services (the user is the product, blah blah blah)
- having an adversarial relationship with your own tools; having to go to extraordinary lengths to disable user-hostile behavior

which are all very much implicated in products like Siri and in being unable to actually disable it.

When you think seriously about what adware is like and what actually makes it so odious, it's clear that parts of macOS are characterized by many of the same traits and behaviors, even though Apple isn't selling third-party ads in macOS the way Microsoft is doing with Windows.

I have a similar experience when using rust-analyzer and copilot in vscode.
As someone's already pointed out; yes they are. That's not the point though. The point is that modern GUI design is godawful, all because when Apple does something, everybody follows unthinkingly.

Apple is the pied pier, leading all the rats off a cliff (unified and locked-down single device, it's coming), and we're the rats who follow blindly. Nobody questions the design decisions, they presume it's good because Apple did it.

It's good, but not for them.
Apologies, that isn't the degenerate judgement I was referring to. In that, I meant most other banal prejudices and such. The diversion to children was just exploring easy topics that show many fears/judgements are learned.

Specifically, the beetle and such are ones that I know I somewhat imprinted on them. If I see beetles, I will shuffle them around so that they are safe from whatever work I'm doing. Such that my kids find them cute and like helping them, where they can. We've had other kids over that find them disgusting and can't believe we would touch them.

Does this mean that some things can't taste better than others? I definitely don't think so. But I find a lot of the attempts at making that objective questionable, at best.
That's not HDMI causing that pain. In fact, HDMI includes specific functionality for lip sync correction and enabling devices to expose both audio and video latencies they add to the signal.
Exactly this. There's nothing "nonsensical" about it. It's a distinction anyone can perceive.

Now, whether you care about is personal preference. But it's definitely a real thing.
Slightly off topic, but I recently learned that implementing the opposite of what you've asked for, bitshift stdout in python, is only a few lines of code:

class cppstream:
def __lshift__(self, right):
print(right, end='')
return self
cout = cppstream()
endl = "\n"

cout << "This" << " is" << " cursed" << "!" << endl
It does seem to me most probably a "culture jamming" thing.

However, at face value a ransom attack has a sort of skewed logic to it. AO3 is a donation-funded non-profit and as such its books are somewhat open. The last few years the group (OTW, the Organization for Transformative Works) has been getting donations nearly 2x their operating costs and we know has been building something of a "rainy day fund"/"war chest" with it. (That's mostly to fight the more usual sorts of DDoS AO3 faces, given the content they host: DMCA takedowns and lawsuits.) The alleged ransom notice asks for a relatively small portion of their "rainy day funds" so there exists a possibility it is as dumb as it looks, and they just want what they think can be a quick and simple pay day.

But "culture jamming" of some sort and some sort of disagreement with the types of content that AO3 hosts still feels to me like the more likely answer to why this is happening, and the ransom notice a tag-along or something.
If anything, it is more relevant than ever, at a scale we were hardly doing it 50 years ago.

That is not evidence of your claim. The FTC argues that the deal would reduce competition, and that reduced competition is bad for consumers. To show that the deal would reduce competition, they focused on the impact the deal would have on Microsoft's competitors, i.e., Sony.
I don't disagree we can choose to use it or not, but my point was more meant to indicate that, if we want a good experience with LLMs, we have to continue to interact with them to achieve good results.

When did VS Code get the same level of user discoverability, customizability, and interactivity as Emacs? I took a look at it a few years ago and it didn’t have anything remotely close to what Emacs offers while working considerably worse out of the box for development than Doom. Is it worth taking another look?
the first one you will look at is hydrogen, because it's the simplest

Simplest chemically != simplest to use in practice. There are already millions of miles of natural gas pipelines leading directly to peoples' homes, and those pipelines cannot be used with hydrogen (not to mention all the appliances they feed).

Renewable methane is a dead simple drop-in replacement for natural gas. None of the other alternatives you mentioned share that property, and I think you're seriously under-weighting the importance of it.
It's quite easy to set up, they have pre-made configurations you can start from, and sandbox an application is just to create a symlink.
The primary ribbon is supposed to be equivalent to the original default toolbar set, showing the most common options for the current context. The remaining tabs contain what would have been in menus and toolbars. This means that you would have been hunting down options in menus and submenus anyway. In that regard it's no worse than before.

There is a really robust search area, at least as implemented in Office. It will show you where the button is on which ribbontab (at least last I used Office, which was years ago).

So we have:

* Is actually no worse than the existing solution.

* Contains a tool to address limitations carried over from the existing solution.

Correctly implemented ribbons are strictly superior to prior interfaces (ignoring any styling approaches, such as flat UI). The only issue with them is that cheese has been moved, and people are upset about that.
This pep only affect the C world. It will not require change in Python code.
