Do they prevent relevant data collection by YouTube for people who are logged into YouTube Premium accounts? I doubt it. This is still a first-party data collection context, not a third-party one, and YouTube controls both (enough of) the client and the server.

Anyway, all we have to go here is Google's public statement and their public actions. Nobody who actually knows YouTube's internal thoughts on this topic would be discussing them here. And so far their public statement as quoted in the article lists signing up for YouTube Premium as the acceptable alternative to turning off the ad blocker.

(Disclosure: I did work for Google in the past, but never for YouTube, and not in over 8 years. Of course I don't know their internal thoughts on this topic, and I'm only speaking for myself here.)
Thanks for the motivation. I love Lisp, and even was into Shen[0] for a while, but Common Lisp has all the libraries and legacy tutorials and books that I will stick it out a bit more. Which matrix/math libraries do you recommend to compete with the likes of Numpy and Mojo for ML apps? Because I love APL, April, Array Programming Re-Imagined in Lisp[1].

Agree. It's crazy and I've given up. I have windows and linux computers, and what works for one, doesn't for the other. Setting up a shared vimrc is a nightmare. In the end, I only use vim for text. Colab and jupyter for all the programming.
One of the wildest examples of literal survivorship bias I’ve ever heard
We're using a similar approach with OpenAI. The user can define a schema using zod and call a prompt. We're then using OpenAI functions behind the scenes to parse the answer into the shape the user wants. Add JSON schema validation on top and we can be sure that the response conforms to our Schema. Some more details and examples can be found in this blog post: https://wundergraph.com/blog/beyond_functions_seamlessly_bui...
I've had the pleasure to build a small website with Kirby and it was such a joy to use as a developer. The only problem I faced was with my client as he was used to Wordpress and making the transition to Kirby was a bit rough for him.
This approach has the inherent risk to become a text-book example of Goodhart's law.
Your juniors have no idea how or what to test, and you are copping out of the hard conversation, programmer-style.

How does one get out of sight of the scary tool imposed by the senior dev? Unit tests without assertions to boost coverage to the rescue.
>I moved from the US to Europe a year ago and I think articles like this don't capture quality of life in Europe well.

Europe isn't a country. Where exactly in Europe did you move?
That's quite fascinating - shows how you can have a design process where every step is completely reasonable but the end-result can still be horrible!
"Superpower" implies an ability and willingness to influence the rest of the world. Europe couldn't even align with itself to intercede in Bosnia, they just left it to a very reluctant United States. Joe Biden said it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwYVKptqH_o#t=0m54s
They should at least call it `print` for normal print and `prit` for the one without the n in it :P
A Boeing 787 needs 2.8km of high-quality concrete for a runway. A F-35 is known to have low maintenance stealth coatings, so you don't need extensive overhaul every flight. If you're fighting other countries from Czechia, the most likely countries to fight are either Russia, or it's minion Belarus. In which case you're probably not worrying about the politics of using civilian infrastructure.

The nice thing about places that were supposedly ruined by Instagram is that most of them were already overcrowded and boring anyway.

As an Australian it's hilarious to talk to tourists and hear they're going to get a bus from Melbourne to the 12 Apostles and back, which is an 8 hour round trip, but aren't planning to spend time at the rest of the spectacularly beautiful coastline or national parks in between. The most popular tourist destinations all seem to be like that: you go there to cross them off the list even though comparably beautiful and much less popular attractions are nearby, for the sake of going somewhere recognisable.

There's nothing wrong with going to a few well known spots in a holiday, but if you just go straight from tourist trap to tourist trap you'll miss all the most enjoyable things.
>But I do have A/C and a clothes dryer. Again, things like that are easily affordable if you work in the tech or professional fields in Europe

In which country do you live? In Austria you're not allowed to install an split unit AC due to building regulations. You could if you own your own single family house but you need to be very wealthy for that, beyond the average tech worker. Tech worker is blue-colar work here.
All sounds nice and I've love that. But I do happen to be gay and it's not a choice so it would need to be a same sex partner. Seems like being straight can't be a counterculture because you can't just do it to be edgy and it is still the majority and the hegemony bro
Australia is a corner stone of US foreign policy in the Pacific. And China's as well. So a lot of people in the US think about Australia, regularly.
> I agree that neovim is not for people who are not interested in learning their tools.

That, right there, is one of the biggest turnoffs I have encountered from the community. The sheer disdain in that sentence alone.

I learn many tools, and am deeply interested in learning them. That includes languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure tools, operating systems, standards and protocols. I wouldn't be in this job otherwise.

However, my time is limited. I have to be selective in what I spend time learning. Much of that choice is determined by my employer, project and other requirements. Free time left over for learning other things is even more limited.

Learning another language and API and plugin ecosystem just so I can configure my editor? Maybe for some people, that's time well spent, but personally - having spent a fair bit of time with neovim to give it a fair shake - I realized that what I don't need is a perfect artisinal text editor, but a good-enough IDE that lets me do the things I'm either actually interested in, or paid to do.

Vim as a simple text editor? Perfect, use it every day when dropping into a headless server to edit a config file or two. For an IDE? I don't love vscode, but for what I need, it's fine.
I've been using Ctrl-[ instead of Esc for so long that I forget that a lot of people don't know about it. This may not be convenient on non-English keyboard layouts.

REBOL remained commercial closed source for a long time when the languages it was competing with were open source.
I think your experience report of the NeoVim subreddit is severely misrepresentative of reality. I have never seen a RTFM response. Many answers point to exactly which part of the documentation would be helpful. Your Jenga tower of dependencies is much more imagination than fact.

If you want Black to format your Python files on save, write an autocommand. That's what they're there for. If you need help to do that, ask for it.

Or if you don't want to take the trouble to learn how to use (neo)vim, then don't use it; that decision is fine too.
I've used Julia with Pluto and Weave to create engineering calculations and reports when I was working at an engineering company, but I want something more general purpose. I've used CL for little scripts and utilities with Portacle, and I find I am more comfortable with the Lisp way of doing things. I had used Mathlab before, so Julia's syntax is very familiar. I do like the Models.jl library.

Show HN: Launching Live Classes to Become Effective Flutter Develeoper
Most Flutter courses are designed for beginners, aiming to teach the basics of Flutter and Dart.

This is an intermediate-level Flutter training focuses on advancing your skills as a Flutter developer, enabling you to produce effective results in your job right from the day one of the training.

Rather than solely focusing on design patterns and principles, this training encourages hands-on experience in building and iterating code, allowing the design patterns and principles to naturally emerge.

This training emphasizes practical learning through iterations.

I don't disagree, it's always a balance of "how much time do I actually want to spend on my workflow vs getting the work done", but I think the only reasonable way to use Vim is to build your environment over time (many years) and have it in source control so that you never have to do it again. You'll still have to keep making updates of course, but that's typically a bit smaller time commitment.

Heck, MY computer literally had the infamous "Halt and Catch Fire" instruction:

although by the time I got to computing, the HCF didn't actually cause conflagration.

I think I recall a 1960s computer design that would poll a limited set of (magnetic core) memory addresses in its idle loop, which led to overheating in those memory elements. Boot loader for PDP-8? I don't think it was the CDC-6600...

Great thread and feedback re: administrative considerations. I believe it's our job at Polar to streamline this as much as we can leveraging Stripe Tax, Atlas and more. Of course, it's a massive topic and each country is unique, but give us time and we'll hopefully make things easier than they are today within OSS.

Re: expectation around getting the same $ as for a paid salary as an engineer today. We cannot expect it from Day 1. It's a new pattern. However, since maintainers are in complete control (it's not a traditional bounty service) sponsored issues that are accepted should align with efforts the maintainer wants to pursue too. Before they got $0. Now, they better know what their users want and can get them to sponsor efforts that align with theirs. In addition, we want to support maintainers being able to set explicit "goals" (Kickstarter). You can achieve this today by adding such context as you add Polar to certain issues, but we can streamline it even further.
ToDo apps are for people like me who are bad with remembering dates and who can’t keep up with hundreds of stuffs to deal with raising a family, new house, aging car, stuffs needed for my son and wife, groceries, taxes, mortgage, bank runs, government bureaucracy shit.

I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, the ZX Spectrum we had was smuggled into the country by my parents in 1985. What printer...? There was no printer to buy! More, we were soldering the data cable when it broke because what today looks like a bog standard 3.5mm mono cable was impossible to replace. It was not available and that was the end of the story.

Biological weapons also have the distinct problem of control: you can release them, but you can't stop them afterward. So, you need to be able to keep your own people safe from the release, which means expensive vaccinations across your population. And how do you test that your vaccination works? Or that it'll still work after your bioweapon mutates?

Bioweapons are useless unless your goal is to kill off everyone.
I went there to, or all things port Unix to an AT&T board (like coals to Newcastle) in the mid 80s. There was food available.

Pretty much every asian tofu dish in its authentic form includes meat. Tofu was never seen as a meat replacement in its countries of origin. However, if you think about it, mixing tofu and meat as protein sources does reduce the overconsumption of meat. My Japanese friend who came to visit recently was shocked by the large steaks and whole chickens that you could buy here. There they usually eat very small slivers of meat with other stuff. So, yeah, still probably helpful to the environment and probably healthier considering humans are not herbivores.
I believe this is because ARM doesn’t have a standardized hardware interface like x86 does so every chipset vendor does it’s own thing, mostly closed source for no good reason.
This is likely the real issue.
Hard disagree. The ones who ramble about Sweden, Switzerland, Finland when they’ve reached some goal like “happiest people in the world” or “safest cities”, usually with some picture of a cabin in the alps, are Americans who romanticize Europe.
It's depressing when there's excessive imitation without differentiation leading to lack of innovation and too many similar options that lack advantages.

The worst thing is not the existence of namespaces, but that are are relatively often implemented incorrectly.

As an example of things that sometimes break:

* namespace redefinition: you have xmlns:ns1 on a parent node and xmlns:ns1 with different value on a child node.

* same namespace on sibling nodes (happens often with streaming): multiple child nodes have a xmls:ns1 with some value. That is only valid for that node.

* some processors expect namespaces only on a specific node (I think it was MS Navision ~ decade ago that failed when declaration wasn't on a specific node, but on a child node)
Don’t forget to factor the power brick when assessing portability.

Totally agree on the puny RAM.

There's a significant issue in that innovation isn't always at the forefront in Europe. The primary focus seems to be maintaining the status quo, particularly safeguarding pensions. Tbh this lack of innovative thinking is quickly becoming a pretty severe problem.

I was visiting a med island recently with both Americans and Europeans, it was evident how wide the income gap was becoming. The American members of our group, working in comparable positions and industries, had significantly more spare cash than their European counter parts.

I honestly hope that Europe addresses this lack of innovation and economic decline instead of just propping failing industries. Although it's important to recognize that the issue is not just bureaucratic. It's more deeply rooted in mindset and creativity — which is arguably much harder to overcome..

Unfortunately, creating an environment that encourages innovation, startups, and tech adoption isn't particularly straight-forward (especially if you're behind). It requires a cultural shift, coupled with decent policies and investment in top-level education
I mean... that's a pretty superficial reading of the situation. Where do you stop? If you assume Newtonian time, which extends back to minus infinity... well, what caused time to exist at all?

Also, no one is "lazily tossing it aside". It comes out of the mathematics that describe the observations:

Say you find that all observations you make are perfectly described by dx/dt = 1/x with current time t1. If you follow the trajectories backwards, you find that the trajectory can not be extended back past some initial time t0 at which x(t0) = 0 as the equation becomes singular then. You are now at time t1-t0 from the initial singularity. That is the age of the universe since the big bang. Now the trajectory as it approaches t0 has some unusual properties, it moves infinitely fast, etc... These might lead you to postulate that unknown physics will actually invalidate your law as you approach t0. But there is nothing logically or epistemically _wrong_ with the law you have. The finiteness of time flows out of a causal empirical induction argument. It is not introduced ad hoc to avoid some difficulty, it just is how we find nature to be at the most conservative interpretation of the evidence.
Using tiktokenizer, these are only two tokens: quote-colon is token 498, space-quote is token 330 (as per https://tiktokenizer.vercel.app/ ). But I agree to the general argument.

I think what factors in even more when you use the API is that you do not have fine-grained control over the generation process. If you follow the MS guidance approach, you fill in structured text yourself, and then let the model generate only the value parts, e.g. up to the next quote. To do that more or less word by word, you have multiple API calls, and have to be very smart about providing the right stop tokens.
> And before someone accuses me of not badmouthing "the enemy" enough, know that even Ukraine is still importing billions worth of Russian gas and petrol products and thus financing the war against itself. Funny how that works.

Ukraine doesn't want to cut of Europes supply of Russian gas until they are ready.

Russian gas transits via Ukraine but it remains to seen how long that will last for.
Here is the source code to LLogo in MACLISP, which I stashed from the MIT-AI ITS system. It's a fascinating historical document, 12,480 lines of beautiful practical lisp code, defining where the rubber meets the road, with drivers for hardware like pots, plotters, robotic turtles, TV turtles, graphical displays, XGP laser printers, music devices, and lots of other interesting code and comments.

When I was 17, Terrapin published my first commercial code on their C64 Logo utilities disk: a Logo Adventure program, a simple non-graphical game that showed off Logo’s list processing and functional programming capabilities.

https://donhopkins.medium.com/logo-adventure-for-c64-terrapi...

Lars Brinkhoff got some of this code to run in MacLisp on an emulator! (I don't know how much of the historical hardware the emulator supports yet, but he's probably worked on some of that too. ;) )

If I'm reading this right, the STacy was designed to use batteries, with even a space for a battery compartment, but the battery life was so poor they dropped the feature, leaving it weighing 6.9 kg WITHOUT batteries and requiring it to be tethered to a wall outlet.

The Mac Portable weighed 7.2 kg with a lead-acid battery that lasted up to 10 hours.

Polar is designed for maintainers and to give them complete control. So you can decide which issues Polar should be embedded on, i.e issues that align with your long-term goals and direction for the initiative. So you can get sponsorship for efforts that align with your goals.

> Or if you and people like you paid me enough consistently that I could quit my day job and focus completely on my OSS projects, then I would probably do that. But even for $1k an hour I don't know that I would want to deal with contractual obligations for my hobby project.

That's the goal, but give us time :-) Pledges/sponsorship towards issues today (Polar v0.1) are not a contractual obligation. As we expand the services we offer, maintainers will have control which ones to leverage. So it's completely up to you what to offer and what not based on your desires and needs. Hopefully, however, Polar at least gives you all the tooling to craft such services and subscriptions.

What I'd love to see is a drone free island. It feels invasive to have a drone hover over you at the beach and not even know who is filming, not to mention the annoying noise. When you look at a peaceful valley and drones are flying all over, it just kills the vibe.

There was WebStar and MacHTTP, both were in use for years, and had remarkable uptimes vs say... Windows NT which required constant patching. I ran MacHTTP on a Powerbook 540 that had an uptime of more than 7 years. Neither WebStar nor MacHTTP was Apple made. Mac OS X "server" was NeXT rebranded, and it was a finalized development product and server. It shipped with PowerMac G3 machines. Then there came AppleShare IP.
