> Also all those languages are Cs in the same way BSD and Linux are UNIXs. Same family. You should have mentioned Haskell or APL instead.

But look! Even though those programming languages are in the same family, it was still worth starting over when they were made! Zig and C are incredibly similar languages, but Andrew Kelly didn’t try and convince the C standards committee to adopt his ideas. He just went and made Zig from scratch. And I’m glad he did! It would have taken decades to drag C in that direction - if it’s possible at all.

Another example: Khtml wasn’t based on Firefox (the big contemporary opensource browser). It was a new browser engine with new ideas. And the design was so good it was used as the basis of Chrome.

Don’t get me wrong - I think it’s great that plan9 experiments did eventually make it back into Linux. But doing the experiments in a separate kernel / OS still makes a lot of sense to me. Old, established technology like linux, FreeBSD, the C programming language, or something like the HTTP spec all need to move slowly because they’re depended on by so many people and companies. That is anathema to wild, new ideas.
Nothing is free in life. You may be trading one problem for another.

That being said, I wonder of the health complications experienced by people taking these drugs are on average worse than the health complications experienced by people not taking them. Obesity is one meam motherfucker which leads to heart disease and diabetes. What good is a "healthy" stomach if you have a heart attack at 40? (I'm not discounting properly testing the drugs BTW. Just wondering how would you make the decisions to take them)
To expand on my previous comment: we literally have more job openings than unemployed people, per the latest BLS statistics. And this is a situation that has stayed constant for months.

So what happens when demand for workers is higher than the available supply?
> As soon as one person goes remote, the in-person experience is significantly degraded for everyone else

"Remote work" didn't start with "work from home" it started with offshoring and satellite offices.

Why is it acceptable to "significantly degrade the in office experience" when it benefits the company but not acceptable when it benefits the employees?

I call BS. I'm not commuting to an office just to be on calls with people in other timezones for a majority of my time there.
so This is how they managed to pretend clout didnt make a multi hundred $million loss this quarter for the first time ever.
I disagree. I find it extremely hard to reason about large queries as set transformations, whereas it is much easier to break it down to "first this, then that". And this is long before I've even started writing my first line of SQL.

So let me write it procedurally and have the optimization engine fix it for me, just like how it fixes my SQL.

Even SQL queries are often better understood procedurally. Take this one [1]:

SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop s1
WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(s2.price)
FROM shop s2
WHERE s1.article = s2.article)
ORDER BY article;

That inner WHERE clause doesn't make sense in my opinion, unless you think of it procedurally as for each row in s1, ask do a search for the highest price amongst all items that share article number.

For me the mainspace for discussing computer related stuff is still Reddit.

/r/pcmasterrace still has 8 million members and /r/buildapc has 6 million. The viewer counts for these subreddits have only increased even in recent months.

HN still has excellent discussions whether its Ask HN or links

Was there a problem that begged asking the question in the first place?
Tbh, I liked expo, but since you cannot build locally nowdays (you can eject and build, but that won't work 99% of the time, literally didn't work for me on the hello world example), I kinda just threw it in the "cool, but won't use" bucket for time beeing :/, could change in the future, but I don't know how I feel about 3d party service (EAS) building my app and holding my signing certificates (yet)
I really hate that SQL doesn't let you do

UPDATE counters WHERE name LIKE 'prefix.%' SET value = value + 1

In a SELECT it's fine, but in a mutation it's dangerous to make updating literally everything so easy if you leave off the tail.

oh you should see the scene in Indian retail sector.

There are even more private label brands on Amazon.IN ... "Solimo" and "Presto" ... they sell everything from soaps to furniture to clothes to appliances -- look virtually indistinguishable at a glance from established brandname products and for much lower prices, and prominently pushed as recommendations.

The "seller" of most of these items is usually not Amazon themselves but named Appario retail or Cloudtail India but their profits are surely flowing to same pockets.

Sounds like a typical ups/fedex driver to me. My third mailbox agrees.
I think you're attempting to frame the discussion in a very narrow way that is inconsistent with the public backlash. Public backlash is largely due to browser vendors demonstrating a very strong motivation to prioritise the needs of advertisers over users through their contributions to WEI and similar W3C proposals.

Were you expecting only responses of praise for Mozilla, that users have been heard on WEI and therefore everyone can move on? Mozilla has invested resources together with Meta into developing the IPA proposal that also prioritises the needs of advertisers over users. The problem that IPA seeks to solve is:

"Advertisers need accurate reporting about how their ad campaigns are performing. Currently, businesses use data about the people who viewed their ads and bought their products to determine ‘return on ad spend’. But the ecosystem is moving towards more privacy and less personal data sharing."[1]

In Mozilla's response on WEI they've reiterated a commitment to working on solutions to the "invalid traffic" (e.g. ad click fraud) problem, a commitment which necessarily requires user needs to be suppressed.

"Detecting fraud and invalid traffic is a challenging problem that we're interested in helping address."

Mozilla's response on IPA is therefore directly relevant to the discussion of public backlash for advertiser needs being prioritised over user needs. Mozilla is demonstrating inconsistency with RFC8890[2] and the priority of constituencies from the W3C Web Platform Design Principles[3] and numerous Ethical Web Principles[4]. Whilst these aren't adopted standards, they are a reflection of values of contributors to these standards organisations.

A further error of your framing is assuming WEI and IPA proposals can be meaningfully discussed in isolation of each other. With such framing, there is an avoidance of discussion of the combined impact of proposals if they were implemented together, or whether proposals such as IPA still make sense to pursue without WEI (or future equivalent proposal).

I would like to see a comparison with Asia, where people discover earlier that you can boil water to kill dangerous pathogens, even if they didn't know what pathogens were yet.
The alternative is non-profit SAAS. It will operate like a company and continously improving based on user feedback. But the goal of the company is not to maximize sharehoder profit but to bring delights to both users and employees with minimal cost to users while taking care of the employees.
You can build locally without ejecting; just throw the --local flag on the end of your eas build command This does what EAS would do, just on your local machine. If you remove the --local flag, it will send it up to EAS to do the build.

Even in the early 80s a lot of beer was 3.5-4.4% in the UK like Boddingtons. I only know that from punk music made back then about consuming insane amounts of various brands they named in songs then looked up to find it very light beer.

Walking into any of those craft brew places where I live I'll be lucky to find 5% almost everything is some crazy 6.5% and up now.
It needs a relatively small community with a strong moderator who will warn people once. Not much of they around as it’s a painful job. I would like just an old fashioned, strict (no endless bickering over politics and wars, just hard tech and show offs what you have been hacking this weekend) forum with most people from r/programminglanguages and some of Hn. That’s enough to keep me entertained anyway.

I very much dislike the discord move; no archive.org / publicly available history. So much interesting and valuable stuff is discussed and a year later they close the channel/topic/even server and gone it is. Worthless.
That’s some very D-grade, armchair history work here. Straight out of the D&D handbook, perhaps. Around the D&D table is where I most heard the myth that people, historically, drank beer because it was cleaner than water.

Here’s a competing theory—people liked beer, and drank a lot of it. If we want to get past armchair history, we need something more than a patchwork of unfounded speculation. We want something that would lead us to believe that one explanation was better than the other, or perhaps both are good, or neither.

Basically, bash executes the script line by line as it is downloading - pausing the download while that line executes. By sending a sleep() command early in the script you can detect the delay in the next line beind downloaded.

Aww, I remember SpaceMonger. I’d guess that I found it from a Scott Hanselman recommendation.

Let's see, here's a link from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (versus the zero links and puffed up posturing from you.) Even including a helpful grasp of sea levels over the past 25,000 years with various meltwater events which - gasp! - caused the seas to rise.

https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/2007_gornitz_09/

"Climate warming is expected to result in rising sea level. Should this occur, coastal cities, ports, and wetlands would be threatened with more frequent flooding, increased beach erosion, and saltwater encroachment into coastal streams and aquifers. Global sea level has fluctuated widely in the recent geologic past. It stood 4-6 meters above the present during the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, but was 120 m lower at the peak of the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago. A study of past sea level fluctuations provides a longer-term geologic context, which can help us better anticipate future trends."

Then there's the countless places worldwide with undersea artifacts right by the new coastline, submerged as sea levels rose. The close proximity would have caused the areas to rise along with the currently dry land, so it wasn't that, was it?

Looking forward to more empty posturing devoid of facts, from you.
I think Meta is still taking a loss on Quest device sales. So even if the sell a bunch of Q3s it might not be profitable for them (though I, hoping otherwise because I like the product and want to see it keep developing). The trick for Quest is to someday make meta money via a healthy market.

I’m not really helpful here: I buy the hardware but only use a couple of apps (FirXR and BestSaber), I use them a lot, but I haven’t found anything else that I really want to buy into yet (I’ve bought other apps but they just sit unused). Whatever loss they are taking on hardware for me they aren’t making back. (But At least FitXR is a subscription now)

Good news if true, but are there any comprehensive accounts of what actual benefits/applications ambient superconductors would have?

It seems to me the hype is along the lines of 'free electricity', 'levitating trains', 'magnetic space launches', 'climate change solved', etc, etc, but these seem either wrong or unrealistic to me.

Electricity transmission efficiency can improve a little, for some routes. Same for electric motors, but they're already 95%+ efficient in some cases.

Maybe it would be useful for energy storage, maybe not - depends on capabilities and especially cost.

Might be useful for levitating trains if suitable, but even then this would be a relatively minor part of any overall design.

I can see a lot of applications/possibilities in research, and in sensors, and maybe it enables some things that aren't currently possible, but what?.

It's undeniably neat and interesting, but it seems over-hyped; maybe someone can enlighten me? Is there a 'killer app'?
Counter-point to the “standard response”: this would be a non issue if we had protective tariffs like just about every other first, second, and third world country instead of outsourcing everything.

This is yet another issue caused by the Boomer’s “have my cake and eat it too” mindset.
Personal take: I think medicine has historically been about categorizing symptoms, patterns etc into diseases (adhd for example). I'm not condoning or encouraging or saying "go do heroin if it works for you" etc but... a problem for you may not be a problem for me - and its all relative to the individual. I've lived in Boston and Wisconsin and I couldn't stop laughing when I read how many drinks/week are considered to be alcoholic considering how ritual it is for a lot of folks in those areas.
Maybe. Did sellers raise their prices 4% in response?

> She chalked up the drop to rising interest rates, an outward migration from Los Angeles to lower-tax states, the introduction of a new mansion tax and more recently, the strike by both the actors’ and writers’ unions.

The article discusses interest rates a lot. The mansion tax may play a role.
I've heard stories of the healthy, positive and wholesome environments in restaurant kitchens.

But still - by the article's definition, 8 strong pints would be the equivalent of 16 16oz IPAs in a day. I'm sure there are heavy drinkers that could do it and hide it pretty well, but I think your average person would be pretty flat.

I expect I'd be asleep in the corner if not passed out.

Right, that is what I meant about it should continue to sample from fair coins. I don't know that I've seen experiments to see how long that takes, though.

There is also the question of how long you'd leave multiple treatments out there. Presumably, even if there is no difference in outcomes, there can be benefits to having fewer deployed behaviors.

I'm now also curious if there are non-transitive situations. For example, three treatments together that all act fair if all deployed, but for reasons any two of them deployed alone will show a preference. Ideally, of course, treatments should be done such that this can't happen, but mistakes are often made.

Edit: Fully cede that this is likely chasing edges. The motivation for fewer deployed arms is far more compelling than the edge cases.

Nuclear power and coal power are both heat engines turning heat into mechanical energy and subsequently electricity. They merely use a different heat source.

They share a lot of qualities because of that. They are relatively centralized and best run in a base-load rather than a load-following mode to reduce mechanical stress and increase longevity.

I was never really attracted to web forums, be it StackOverflow or Reddit. I still to this day prefer tech discussions on mailing lists. That is the preferable way of cunsuming that sort of content, for me. I prefer reading/writing in a mail client, and I absolutely hate web browsers made into text editors. I miss the times when you could just subscribe to a list of a particular topic, and have interesting content arrive in your INBOX/folder automatically. No need to regularily go somewhere any check if there is intersting content, and no need to fiddle with RSS either. Just a plain old email account, was enough to get really interesting content delivered.
>> Unsure of what "hallucinates" means in this case

The term "hallucinations" is now commonly used for instances of AI making stuff up - like when I asked ChatGPT (before I had paid account) to recommend 5 books about a certain topic and two of the recommended books looked totally plausible, but when I tried to find them, I discovered there are no such books. This is where I see a big difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

>> I get a response that isn't grammatically correct/doesn't include punctuation

What punctuation? If you mean stuff like commas separating complex sentences, my English is definitely not good enough to spot that. But your mention of punctuation reminded me of problems that ChatGPT has with my native language... any chance you are using ChatGPT in a language other than English?
It's not the tiny changes in the syntax/order that matter here. It's that if you want to limit the columns or do something else with them afterwards, in PRQL you append that text to the end. In SQL you'd have to wrap it around your original query, it inject joins in the middle. It doesn't read well anymore, because "how" you're doing things eclipses "what" you're doing.

For a simple select, this just doesn't matter. But you also wouldn't bother with PRQL for simple selects.
Interesting.. Was the autocomplete from a dedicated password manager or from iCloud? Also do you have any "family" added in your iCloud account, because its possible to share passwords through that.
I don't really and haven't since the death of forums. At a few jobs I found a group of people who were interested in more than just CRUD but inevitably these people leave for greener pastures.

It would be cool to have a place like usenet to discuss these things. I don't want to install a thousand shitware apps, or use 10 different sites, just to talk to people. Was much easier to just cast a post into the ether and wait for replies. Reddit IMO is probably the lowest quality discussion zone and having my posts mined by AI for profit really bothers me.
