That's the past. The future is a shoebox sized tent in a nondescript city. He is maxing out the 401 so when he retires, he can afford rent.
It absolutely is not necessary, and up until recently it wasn’t even possible (barring customer surveys and the like.) It’s just very convenient for advertising services, at the expense of everyone’s privacy.
Tesla Solar is a dud, had to be saved by Tesla using SpaceX money. Or rather Elon's cousin had to. PV tech is solidly in Chinese hands by now, and getting cheaper every year, Tesla has nothing to do with it. Same for powerwalls.

What Tesla figures out so, was that charging infrastructure was the early EV winner, nobody else did that. Whether Tesla's netwirk is still the largest in the world, no idea.
Ten Times Fast: MIT Researchers Devise Tricky Tongue Twister
Thanks for the explanation. My flame detector goes off all the time when we're cooking - you need to open a window and let in some fresh air. ;) :D
I remember reading a study about a year ago I've been trying for a while to find it and post here now but basically it was observing that people, specifically kids recently have had instant access to information that they needed and so when something was taking longer than expected to absorb the information it would be passed on for some faster method of absorbing the info.

The jist of the study was that it wasn't so much attention spans are in decline but patience for consuming information. I am not that particular generation but for sure if I'm looking for some info recently i get frustrated if I don't get the info I'm looking for quick enough.
My favourite war film of late is Danger Close. It's reasonably close to the truth.

The 'eval' pattern for interpreting simple languages
Because people are in arms about Web Integrity API, but a lot of the same people will crucify Safari (and Firefox) for not implementing a bunch of Chrome-only non-standards (like the plethora of hardware APIs)
I agreed with you, Yoav, when you posted your rant about gRPC and Chrome (because of the trailers debacle). Here was a case where Google prevented innovation at Google for unclear and selfish reasons, to the detriment of the community. You weren't wrong about how that decision was made with too few voices in the room. That decision was made in a vacuum, and Google and the community suffered.

WEI is a case where you should apply this same thinking. If the response is resoundingly negative, to the point where the conversation degrades, your counterparty may be trying to signal a deeper level of panic than you acknowledge. The point of people posting legalese-style threats is to get Google to disengage. I think the opponents of this proposal have little interest in talking through it. They see it as a mortal threat to the Open Web, and I'm inclined to agree with them; under this framework, is it not our shared moral obligation to delay, obstruct, or otherwise oppose it by any means possible?

As a fan of your previous work, not a hater, I would respectfully implore you to think again.
Kids lead to grandchildren and great-grandchildren and so on. Exponential. You don’t need to have kids to understand that. I’m not sure what you don’t understand.

Anecdotally the work required to successfully raise children to adulthood seems to increase exponentially as well, but I only had the increasing numbers of descendants in mind when I first replied.
And what all the replies are telling you is that the most XY problems are misdiagnosis.

Explaining what the XY problem is to people who are telling you about it's high false positive identification is, itself, an XY misdiagnosis.

Your reply is an example of what people are complaining about - you are addressing the issue you wished was asked, not addressing the issue you were presented with.
But that's a different question. And should be asked different.

"I'm trying to learn foo.js and attemt to do so by porting Tetris to it. I know foo.js is a terrible option for a game. So. How can I write to the canvas from foo.js?"

Is often answered properly, if only because to many it's a nice puzzle.

"How can I write to the canvas fro foo.js?" Is different in that it will attract a lot of people explaining that foo.js deliberately did not allow writing to the canvas, because Z"
This is a huge problem for Spring (since the correct way of doing things changes every 2 years..)
One function's return value is another function's parameter. If the overall system has a bug, that's a problem, and I don't see any value in trying to quibble about whether it's a bug in the caller or the callee.
You might need a box to be as safe as possible, but performance is secondary. Following your car example, some people prefer a safer car over a faster one.

If you chose Open BSD you make that explicit choice. Their promise is to avoid technologies unless they are rock solid, even at the cost of performance or convenience (like the forking to LibreSSL).
There's no way this is true but this is going to live on forever in my headcanon. I fucking love it when /pol/ gets this creative.
The free sandbox does not include data persistence, so if that's something you would like, then signing up for the free trial of Premium would be the next step. And if you want an extended trial beyond the default 7 days, just let me know; always happy to set that up.
The first question for example is what would be a low-quality question in SO, and could easily have been a homework assignment. It doesn't show any effort from your side, you just pose the question and expect other people to answer it fully, without explaining what you attempted, why it worked/didn't work, where you got stuck, etc.
very good insight. Integrating AI into stackoverflow as a question refiner is a very good idea
This article has the single strongest datapoint I’ve seen that shows that removing SAT actually favours the rich: it shows that for students with equal SAT, colleges give a much higher scores to all other factors (recommendations, no academic ratings) to applicants in the top income percentile vs ones in lower.
Ask HN: Stripe users (US) who also have PayPal, what's your overhead like?
How do you manage two separate dashboards especially if you have to do refunds, payouts etc.
Also are you happy with the checkout experience because it's not possible to render PayPal as a part of Stripe Elements. Do you think this causes drop outs?
Would also love to know why / at what point did you decide to integrate both Stripe and PayPal?
Ah, good to hear that the IBM mainframes are still around, are more powerful, and that the software for the old IBM mainframes will still run on the new mainframes.

So, yup, JCL still works! An 3270 series video terminals with 24 lines of 80 characters each driven with CICS (customer information control system or some such) is still used.

But I didn't see that

(1) Rexx, often a good replacement for JCL,

(2) XEDIT, and the PC version KEDIT, my favorite text editor,

(3) and VM/370, an impressive virtual machine supervisor, upgraded from the original CP/67 for the IBM 360/67 mainframe

are still supported and used. I would be shocked if they were not
still supported and also still used, especially for development and analytical computing tasks.

Using bigger AI training data sets may produce more racist results
Your field's oversaturated. Not a criticism or anything but it's just the economics of supply and demand in life science. Take a look at how sloppy the papers are in machine learning. Nobody complains because results speak for themselves and barrels of cash are shoveled towards research simply because of the sheer utility.
Oh just edited my comment, wanted to remove the Rust bit as it could (and it did :)) divert attention.

But to respond to your comment: I am not sure if they would have retreated if there wasn't a constant stream of negative coverage on platforms that they do not control (Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, podcasts, blogs).

The issue with the draft was that it was extremely out of touch and some were afraid that it wasn't just a small mistake, rather than a direction that the foundation wanted to take, no matter the backlash.

If my girlfriend came to me with a draft that she should be able to date the cute barista guy in our local coffee shop and staying in the relationship with me, the fact that it's just a draft would not make me any more confident in the future of our relationship.
> Slavery wasn't abolished by changing people's minds via rational debate.

I didn't say it had to be done via rational debate.

> They only changed their beliefs after decades under new laws and culture.

So they did do it after all.

> The research is out on changing people's beliefs, for most it usually causes them to dig their heels in and hate the other side even more. If you encounter a racist person or a Nazi in real life, you will not change their beliefs with rational debate, so don't even try. Just avoid them because they are unpleasant people. You will be happier if you stop fighting this futile moral crusade.

Look at you trying to change my beliefs via rational debate. What a hypocrite.
Also cruelty doesn't translate to fitness anymore. It's just negative emotional investment. But it's signaling "if worst comes to worst my people come first" which is the loudest tribalism signal in a breaking down peace period society reentering the loop.
this broke me the other day. I've always defended spotify through all their shitty decisions, but lately they've had a very take-it-or-leave-it approach to their key features.

The answer given by support is literally "we removed it for no reason, we might do something else later". How on earth did that pass their internal processes?
I'm not sure what you mean. Obviously the WSJ is influential but not to the extreme of mind control. Also, advocating a half-step forward is easier than advocating 2 or 3 steps forward. I think you know those things, but I'm not sure what you are saying.
It's a good place to start since empty threads should show you the maximum advantage of goroutines.

It also shows that the overhead of a million threads is reasonable if you can actually handle them doing something.

Radical suggestion: instead of upping the prices for everyone to catch those rich whales who will pay 100x more for a product without even thinking about it... how about: everyone's wealth is open to see on a public database and everyine pays the same negligible percentage of their income?
Trademark law is fairly complicated . One of the aspects that is often overlooked is that you actually have to enforce your trademark rights in order to keep your trademark. Failure to do that, weakens your grip on it.

In the case of this particular trademark claim, it's likely to be fairly weak for MS. There are countless legitimate uses of the letter X. They've not been going after a lot of companies over this. And there's also the notion that MS launched the x-box after the x.com domain was registered by Elon Musk. So, any dispute over this could end up being quite hairy for MS. I doubt MS lawyers are going to even bother with a cease and desist letter.

Not a laywer of course; this is just my understanding of trademark law. It gets even more complicated when you consider that laws vary internationally.
No two things at different points in time are identical, so it's technically impossible to bring back something that did exist. I mean, while we're stuck on semantics, let's just do the full thing, no?
I used to rely on StackOverflow to stay plugged in to the developer world. But now with newsletters, developer influencers, and more forums with code block formatting, it's just not necessary anymore. I think the status of having stackoverflow points has been translated to twitter followers.
But it's a classic position for Apple: niche, expensive, loved by enthusiasts. I think every Apple products don't have to be like iPhone.
It's not about the absolute position on the scale, but the direction of change. Mozilla has been moving towards anti-user for years now.
Can't you sign your own certificates? Whether people trust those is a different story. WAI is different because it breaks abstraction by asserting based on details which are otherwise invisible to the server.
Often for many years, in major cities, including in poorer neighborhoods. I've never had one experience like that. It's so placid I can sleep; I see people helping each other, etc. I also see people commonly keeping to themselves - it's not all rainbows and unicorns.

I don't believe that so many have had so many extreme experiences as they report, though of course I don't know you personally.
Most papers already have code, and videos are very common.
Hey, you have no contact method in your profile. can you email me at my contact email in my profile? I have a question from a previous discussion we had.
Absolutely, what a great addition to all kinds of cuisine! I'd never intentionally minimize the merit of chilis. I use chilis a lot, couldn't imagine cooking without them. Your point is well-taken.

FWIW, along with chilis a number of other common curry spices weren't mentioned in the article: garlic, mustard seeds, fenugreek, saffron, black pepper, cardamom, among others. So it's quite possible curries were less tasty in the past, at least to our palates. OTOH seems likely enough that they employed a range of flavorings that don't show up on the tools the researchers examined.
Has one of the standard open ACME providers ever revoked a cert over content? Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions CA (HARICA) threatened to, but the renewal went through and everything is working fine on my end.
That's a very short sighted business strategy if true. Simply liquidating their reputation. Those junk AI results have certainly led to me using Google less.
For those who'd like a pretty good (if fictionalised) taste of what the Mongol empire was like I can highly recommend Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series starting with Wolf of the Plains[1].

Like all good historical fiction (ref Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey–Maturin series and Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series) it is well researched, and recreates the state of mind of historical characters. In some ways I find this more important than the sequence of events, because insights into that perspective is really hard to get from mere dates and locations.

I've noticed a similar tendency in ChatGPT (answering a question that was never asked), but at least in ChatGPT it doesn't act all condescending towards you.

I literally cannot remember when last SO was useful time, due to the false positive identification of the XY problem.

At least with ChatGPT, it's much faster to get it to answer the question asked and not the question that was not asked.
Anecdata: I've started asking Bing these questions instead of SO. E.g., it recently gave me a very helpful answer for debugging a Spring issue and cited its sources. What it didn't do was present me with a whole lot of moderation cruft.

I can ask for recommendations for tools and libraries, which IIRC SO disallows.

I also don't have to pray my question will get enough vote attention or worry that I posted it at the wrong time of day.

On the whole, going the GPT route has been more satisfying in all ways.
Security can kill safety, yes.

Typically you would start with [0] and it's derivations for specific domains.

The core idea is "The fundamental concept is that any safety-related system must work correctly or fail in a predictable (safe) way."

The interesting question is what to do in corner cases you did not specify explicitly. Typically it is still considered "safe" if you don't do what you would have specified in hindsight, but fall into the defined failure reaction. You also try to make security problems take that path.

Checking that the system does what is specified is called "verification" and the domain of functional safety. Checkin that this is what you actually meant (it actually solves the user's problem) is called "validation" and especially for vehicles called SOTIF [1].

The "opened up and downvoted" rings so true.

I've a rather high account. So I can revert mod decisions and sometimes do. E.g. reopen a marked-duplicate that isn't duplicate on closer inspection.

I don't do it often (can't be bothered too much) but when I do, I sometimes almost feel the hate radiation over the web. Indeed, people on a rage-tantrum going through all my answers and questions and downvoting those. Lol.
AdonisJS Framework:Node.js Framework that focuses on developer joy and stability
Thus was very well written. An enjoyable read indeed.
Your company can automate repetitive contract management tasks with the help of contract maintenance software and finish them quickly. Your legal team can now concentrate more on other important procedures thanks to this.
> In my opinion, our attention mechanism is very weak compared to the demands of academic study and modern knowledge work.

Or it could be that academic study and modern knowledge work is just severaly outdated in their data delivery methods compared to contemporary techniques used in tools that "cause attention span issues" like Tiktok.

Maybe the UX of a traditional science paper has to be reviewed instead of trying to fault the end user for not torturing themselves trying to ingest something that has UX from half a century ago.

To me the issue seems pretty clear. We got new information delivery methods that are significantly better and when going back to old methods we naturally get unsatisfied. Does that mean we are getting "dumber" as "attention deficit" memes imply or that certain fields are just failing to catch up?

We can simply accept that ingesting old data types will be more difficult for the new generations or update them to match new expectations. Either way this sounds like whole lot of nothing for most of us.
This website is not meant to be a place to dump a link to your website and dash.
I think this is a bit short sighted. In the end, x86 will be replaced entirely, should openbsd just ditch it altogether?
That's wrong on so many levels, I don't know even where to start.

First of all I hate this "proposals" which is actually, "we implemented this in our flagship product, and kindly force it on our users, you don't have to use it, if you have a choice", stance.

Then comes all the "ensuring they aren't a robot and that the browser hasn't been modified or tampered with in any unapproved ways." part. I'm using an open source browser which is not Chromium based (i.e. Firefox). I can modify and recompile the way I want it. I can use links/elinks/lynx/dillo if I want (and I use them, too). Who do you think you are, and how come dictate my software I use on my own computer?

It's 90s DRM wave all over again. Constant attacks towards open software, open platforms, open protocols.

It's maddening and saddening at the same time.
The Universe Is a Simulation: What the Double-Slit Experiment Tells Us
Actually, from experts I've read, the best first step is stable housing. It's hard for me, with all my resources and normal functioning, to change my life; I couldn't imagine doing it while living on the street, wondering where my next meal and shelter are coming from. These people add other obstacles to what I face.

We already get 82% of calories and 63% of proteins from plants.

A vegan diet was found to have the lowest average cost per person for a healthy diet across all countries globally

It's possible you never had a good vegan meal.

Among 9,179 meat burgers competing for first place at Peru’s recent BurgerFest 2022 edition, the plant-based burger, Not A Common Burger, made with fresh pulses, was crowned as the public’s favorite.

https://vegconomist.com/company-news/meet-not-a-common-burge...

Almost any recipe can be made vegan. Fat, salt, acid, temperature, spices. World is full of good vegan foods. See Indian, Ethiopean or Mexican cuisine for example. Many foods in Greece/Italy are vegan.
I for one welcome our new Cephalopod overlords, and remind them I could be useful in rounding up others to work in their underground sugar caves.
Large memory copies, however, are quite frequent.
The spec suggested defaults don't matter when all current HTTP/3 implementations will not let compiled software users connect to a site with a self-signed cert (or none at all).

But also the spec itself is bad: "MUST" in capital letters when talking about setting up the HTTP3 endpoint and verifying the cert. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9114/

There are compile-time flags you can use to enable it in the QUIC HTTP/3 libs you can then manually link when compiling your personal browser. But with Google/Microsoft/Apple/Mozilla browser binaries used by the public they will not be able to connect.
Defcon: Preventing Overload with Graceful Feature Degradation
I loved how American Airlines and Apparel both used Helvetica.

These days, the one I find shocking is Monday.com and Slack. Both have names in lowercase black Circular, their logos use pill-shaped elements in similar shades of primary colors, and they're both in the business productivity space. The branding is so close you'd swear they're sibling products like IntelliJ and CLion.
> But could you even get a trademark for X, a single character?

Yes. In fact there are at least a few registrations in the TESS database of X for various goods and services. They don’t conflict with each other unless the goods and services are the same.
The point is, you need to think about it for yourself.

A point that supports this. Friend of mine worked for a high wealth person. One day their company website went down. Because it turned out they forgot to renew it and it was now in the hands of a squatter. When the boss asked asked to approve paying $X to the squatter to get the site back he said no. Made a phone call and the site was back up 10 minutes later.
No, because it is based on false scarcity. Ponzi schemes reward those who get into it early and rob money from those who join the scheme later.

Bitcoin cannot exist as real currency unless it has some real concrete value backing it. That concrete value needs to exist in tangible form for it to be stable.
Would like more info in that quote from the article:

> Kimathi Bradford, a 16-year-old Oakland tech repair intern, has looked into whether there was a way to replace the outdated Chromebook software with a non-Google brand, but it ended up being a lot of work, Kimathi said, and the open-source replacement wasn’t up to par.
Looks like YT has reversed their action. The URL is back in the video description, and the videos involved have monetization back on again.

Most likely, their human reviewers made yet another mistake. This has been the 3rd time for my channel. 1st one, they reversed on their own. 2nd one, I appealed and they retracted. And this 3rd one, they reversed on their own again.

They should really fire their human reviewers. These are the same ones who keep demonetizing rule-abiding channels and rejecting applications for channels that actually make good content.
