Omg, this is amazing. I just got completely engrossed in a John Stewart interview of Conan from like, '94.

One thing I realized about TikTok is how much it taps into the channel-flipping mechanism. It's basically what I would do as a kid rotating the dial, giving each beat about a second or two before flipping to the next.

The biggest difference is that today, it never comes back around the dial - the dial is practically infinite.
Christine Lemmer-Webber (https://dustycloud.org/contact/) may be able to put you in touch with Ian's surviving partner.
I worked for a guy who designed playgrounds for kindergartens, schools and similar.

He stressed the importance of spontaneous, unstructured play. As you note it leads to important social development, it improves creativity and could lead to much better academic performance into the teens according to the studies he showed me.

When he designed a playground it wasn't "here they can do A and there they can do B", but he strived to provide spaces that facilitated spontaneous play. He wanted the kids to do their own thing, and provided as many options as possible. An important factor here is that kids enjoy different kinds of play. Not everyone wants to kick a ball, some want more social play so might need a space that allows for that, perhaps a secluded sitting group.

However as you note safety is a big issue. He had a guiding principle of two kinds of safety. There's subjective saftey, if you're high up you know falling might hurt. This is what kids should learn, and it's important they get to do that without permanent injury.

The second kind is objective safety, which relates to the environment and equipment, which facilitates this learning of subjective safety. There shouldn't be rocks near by equipment which could cause permanent injury if a kid fell of the equipment. There shouldn't be gaps in the swing attachment where a kid could lose a finger, and so on.
It's not just the costs that get you, but also the arbitrary minutes-per-month limit.

I was in federal prison for years. One week from release, I got an email about a friend in poor health. I had to pay by the minute to access that email account at a prison kiosk, by the way. One minute of email access cost roughly the same as what I was paid for a hour's labor at my prison job as a GED instructor.

I called my friend as soon as I could get access to a phone. I had 5 minutes left of my monthly minutes budget because I'd spent nearly all of my 200 minute monthly allowance release planning with family. As we had only a few moments on the phone, they demanded I come see them the moment I was released. They had something very important they wanted to talk about.

I spent the next few days appealing to every prison official for extra phone minutes to speak with my dying friend. Several of them had phones on their desks as we spoke, and could have just picked up the phone and given me a few minutes right then and there. They all had the authority and ability to assist, and they all refused. From case manager, church chaplin to assistant warden. One said because the other person isn't direct family, they don't count as important enough to grant me an extra phone call. They took three days to consider my request before denying it. Another accused me of lying to manipulate them into giving me extra phone minutes because I'd "wasted" what I was given and they thought we all got way too many minutes anyway.

A few other prisoners offered to let me use their phone accounts to make calls, but if I had done that and been detected by prison staff who randomly monitored phone calls, I risked a disciplinary proceeding that could result in going to solitary confinement instead of going home, and throwing my release arrangements into disarray.

My friend died the day before I went home. I still don't know what they wanted to tell me.
> First, Mastodon was going to be the new place. It wasn't.

Just about all the people whose opinions I'm interested in hearing are on Mastodon now. I don't really care if anyone else shows up. Maybe it's better that they don't.
I'm not a parent, but I can imagine how difficult it must be for some parents to be able to "let go" in this way sometimes and let kids be kids.

I think if I had kids my gut feeling would be to prevent harm and unpleasant experiences, because I wouldn't want to experience those things myself, much less those in my charge who may not be equipped to handle it as well. If I allow myself to be driven by that instinct however, they'll never be well equipped which does not make for a well rounded adult. It hurts to see immediate family hurting even in trivial capacities, but a parent must seemingly be able to endure that if the children are to come to be able to stand on their own.
As interesting as this is, it is also the start of a horror movie or two so the obvious joke has to be made. Fascinating none the less.
Fuget aboud it...
It’s even worse than that, at least in New York.

The prisons also counted all the people in them as residents, for apportionment of votes, money, and so on.

You would have a rural county where 6,000 people, including 1,500 prison guards, actually live. And then 6,000 prisoners.

Which would count as 12,000 people in terms of congressional and state representation. But only half of them are actually allowed to vote.
yeah the AI is coming for your highfalutin desk job, but the carpenters will be making decent money for a while yet.

basic woodworking skills are things that they can start picking up in HS shop classes; I spent summers working in a furniture factory framing chairs as a kid.

got a neighbour who does asphalt paving -- just driveways. Dude is booked solid through the Fall and into December, and does alright. Not Palo Alto FAANG money but he's got a nice truck and a fishing boat and a nice garden that we bonded over / share tips about. point is: plenty of options for doing alright; the rest of the world ain't SF or NYC
Don't have to go back that far. iPhone 14 Pro is the first iPhone with always on display. Although I guess Android wasn't first with that either.
Can we sue the USCIS for not making an interview slot available for a family based greencard application and then rejecting the application because we didn't attend the interview before the time limit?
I was able to roll spring rolls pretty well in around 10 minutes of practice, although the prep area required might be difficult for a chain restaurant.

I don't really eat at the cheesecake factory so I can't speak to that.
I think he means Google phones, ie Pixel.

I am not surprised because they've been advertising pixel really hard, and they are good phones. Still, it seems a lot more likely to eat into Samsung than Apple market share.
First engineering is an iterative process.

Which means something that's engineered is made better by successive improvements from previous work.

2nd this is failing to consider different environment conditions and applications may make gathering energy from the environment in creative ways practical and useful.

Not saying this particular technology will eventually be practical from a commercial standpoint, only wishing to state it's more than just 'will this technology easily solve global energy demands'.
First of all, I doubt the premise of this entirely, e.g. Pokémon Go almost certainly had higher DAU weeks after it launched (and it was growing rather than shrinking).

But secondly, I'm skeptical that it's even fair to talk about Threads stats using the same measurements as any "new" app, since it's really an extension of Instagram. You don't make a new account for Threads, you just use your Instagram account. They are one and the same, the only difference being which app you use to access which features. It's most closely analogous to Facebook and the Messenger app - do you count the users of each of those separately?
General purpose computing was the default from 1990 - 2010.

Apple killed it by turning computers into "devices" and "platforms". And now Google is killing the web.

Fuck these two companies. They're too big, too unilaterally powerful, and their greed to control knows no bounds.
The real question is which is dying quicker Facebook or Twitter?
never got in a fight with my parents, but there sure were plenty of shoving matches and occasional fists with the 8th graders on at me old schoolyard...
My ER4 has been a very solid piece of kit.
It’s strange to me that the upcoming collapse is so controversial. We’ve known this could happen since the 1990s, based on three measurements from the last time it happened:

Year 0: Normal CO2

Year 100: Higher CO2

Year 200: European ice age due to this current collapsing.

If the timeline plays out like it did before, we’re currently between year 50 and 150, and the collapse will happen between year 100 and 200.

Only one aspect of a business is efficiency, not all businesses are efficient, and finally your view of government programs is based on right wing propoganda and not facts
That was his excuse, there are some alternative theories that say that he put the rate limits only to cut his AWS bills.

Anyway, it should be known that fighting against scrapers is a lost cause. Nitter is still going strong, BirdSiteLive (the software that powers bird.makeup) as well, and even if he really blocked these alternative methods, I wouldn't be surprised if the archive.org people came up with some browser extension that could help replicate the content elsewhere.
Nah, as the people still have to go through screening no different than elderly or children (leave on shoes). Ramp workers go through separate doors with keypads- no screening. Even TSA doesn't screen themselves, as if a TSA government employee could not be bribed or coerced to take items around screening.
I've seen this idea in different guises many times by now, there should be one of those standard 'why your energy idea based on rain/VAT/resonance/sound/cold fusion/vacuum fluctuations won't work' checklists for this one by now.
My pixel 5 is still going strong and has plenty of battery. I have noticed degradation, but it's still enough to get through a day or more depending on use.

The one thing that eats the battery alive is Instagram, which is great as it gives me one more reason to avoid it.
For some people its a deterrent. I talked my coworker into an AppleTV earlier this week and the new remote was USB-C charging (doesn't come with a cable) and he was upset that he couldn't just charge it with any of his existing lightning cables. I tried to explain to him that in no time at all his house would be inundated with usb-c cables everywhere, but he was not happy.
I was actually just using `grep .` to discard empty lines. The `grep -v '^;'` would have only left lines with answers after it discarded lines starting with `;`. That and the empty lines.

I could have combined `grep -v '^;'` and `grep .` as a nice simple `grep '^[^;]'`

This was my own path; I had to use a service to certify my experience (it included getting multiple letters of recommendation from previous employers) and after three tries I got my H1B. The odds of getting accepted for each year were impacted because the pool for people without degrees is smaller than the rest, so it took patience and time.
> FWIW I did actually check before I commented, but just using my local dict install. Anthropogenic seems to be often used in the news WRT climate change, but the definitions left me with the impression anthropic seemed more correct (brevity bonus too)

You may need to look beyond definition 1 (though in many, but not all, current dictionaries, you wouldn't have to), “anthropogenic" is clearly correct and the most specific adjective for human-caused climate change, and is quite often the example shown with the relevant definition.
See, e. g., https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/anthropogenic

“Anthropic” would not be a wrong adjective for climate change somehow associated temporally or causally with the existence of humanity, but would be less specific.
Named for the great Chicago business scumbag, Charles Yerkes. Got out of prison in Pennsylvania and hobbled together Chicago's L train. The side of the street that he claimed the elevated railway was on would change building by building, based on which neighbors would or would not grant an easement. The folklore is this complicated zoning in the loop until Daley the Younger's mayoral tenure - in the 1980's
Mammals eat babies of other mammals. Nature ain't nice to babies.

Famously, lions kills lion babies, that is babies of own species when they encounter babies of another lion group.
Phones are so good now that even a 2-3 year old iPhone can do pretty much anything you want.

Battery life degrades and it slows down a tad, but there isn't the same pressing need to upgrade of yore.
I think of this in the same way I think of documentation. I try to write documentation that is as clear as it is concise and well structured. But sometimes that’s just not realistically possible, and expressing information often _has_ to assume some level of familiarity with the underlying concepts.

I’ve never considered DNS to be a complicated technology, and I’ve never considered that tools like dig and the abbreviations they use need to change much. If there’s something that isn’t clear, it’ll be in the man page, a mailing list, Internet based documentation, StackOverflow, etc.

Personally, I value information density, and I don’t mind terseness at all.

That doesn’t necessarily mean I would design some of this stuff the same way, but after more than a decade using it, I feel like changing it now is just an appeal to futility. A tool like dig more or less looks and works the same today as it did 15 years ago, and there’s value in that kind of stability.
Yeah. Having a job seems like it could keep you from regularly being able to stop everything for 5 months of high paid work. Maybe the money is enough from the few months that they're fine with it (and maybe it's easy for them to get a new job after or go back somewhere they've worked before). I'm genuinely curious. It seems like a lot to make for 5 months, but what do their earnings look like over a 5 or 10 year period?
The argument in TFA makes sense at a conceptual level. Kids that aren’t allowed to play will be a neurotic mess.

But I hesitate to write off teen mental health as just a result of over parenting or social media. Those are probably contributing factors, how much is not clear to me.

Another contributing factor is the economic knife hanging over everyone’s head. It’s not enough to just finish high school like it was in the 1950s. It’s not even enough to finish a bachelor’s degree now, even though only 40% of millennials have accomplished that. So just being above average isn’t enough. You need to be excellent.

If you compare pretty much any other time in American history to the post-war economy, every metric is going to look worse. Does it mean we should be letting kids play tackle pom pom [1] during recess? So I’m not convinced by the hand-wavy look how great things were back in the day analysis.

This analysis would be much stronger if it tried to account for confounding factors. For example analyzing countries where life expectancy is not decreasing.

How are we still, 15 years later, stuck in the feigned incredulity stage of android vs ios?

"I don't see how anyone still buys an ____. How can you not see the overwhelming evidence that ____ is unequivocally the better phone?"

If either device can fit in either blank, as it has all over this thread, perhaps that's because there hasn't been any undeniably impactful feature improvements on either platform in the last decade.
That "OS should be coherent" argument would work if android itself was providing all those options.
But it's not.

Go to AOSP source and the "phone app" you'll find there is deprecated, ugly crap that no one ever uses.

The 'nice' one is just a google app that's not only closed source, but equally bloated as the samsung's one.

People give google's apps this weird pass, as it's not the same kind of bloat as the manufacturers one, but there is no reason to treat them differently.
It’s that you got older and your tastes stayed the same and the youngs developed their own taste
Whatever goal streaming services have in designing their interfaces, it cannot be ease of finding content.

Netflix, for example, basically just pushes the same 10-20 movies and series at you under different headings.

At one time you could browse by categories like "classic TV" but those seem to be long gone.
Absolutely this is failure.

Twitter/threads is (or should be) a highly viral application.

New users should find themselves compelled to use the product and compelled to encourage others to use it.

With a 100 million user head start, if they were succeeding this shoukd have immediately resulted in the viral loop being triggered into explosive growth.

It’s a huge failure.

Not necessarily unrecoverable, but absolutely a gargantuan fail.

100,000,000 signups should ignite your viral engine and blast into orbit. Enough functionality to be viral was the MV part of “Minimum Viable” for Threads.
I have had a plan on my list for years now, to write a medium for IoT devices, that would route all traffic through TOR as a layer of security, while it would also help the TOR network with a lot of fuzzing traffic.
200 mW at best... seriously, this is bunk.
The idea was to designate some hapless low status family member to hold the antenna at just the right angle to pick up the station.
Ah. I knew it was connected to Instagram. I suppose it makes sense that it uses the same usernames.
You honestly equate buying an at least arguably better electronic device and ecosystem that you may interact with for hours a day with what’s mostly a logo on an I assume is an admittedly well-made bag?
Aside from CF Workers using capn proto, how is it related to capn proto or sandstorm?
>I seriously doubt that there are any Androids out there that could get even close to that.

It's probably because you didn't really do any research into it. A $100 or less Pixel 4a released in 2020 will easily last 5+ years if you take care of it.
Vancouver Canada has a reputation as no-fun city and also a place where it's tough to make friends. Which is weird when you consider that it's a gem of a city with abundant natural and man-made attractions.

Can I suggest that feeling bored and lonely despite idyllic surroundings defines "Vancouver Syndrome" ?

/s but kinda not
But if you could combine it with a solar panel, using the same footprint somehow, then you at least get some output while the sun isn't shining, which would be better than now.

I'm sure that's a huge BUT for an engineer currently, I'm not trying to say it's easy or even doable, but that's the only reasonable use I could see, if it's just a touch extra energy for a solar panel, I could see it as a value-add, if the added cost is low enough.
The code is there. It's a timing and signalling problem.

Bebop to the Boolean Boogie is a great book - it's aimed at kids but covers the concepts very well. You could read it and go through the exercises in a weekend.
>The real problem is that it costs 3 times as much as a phone is worth.

Everyone values things differently. You're just not the target audience. There's other cheaper phones out there of lower specs, but all are much bigger in size though as cheap phones tend to overcompensate with bigger screens. Plus, they're full of spyware and adware, yes, way more than in premium Android phones.
It's silly to extrapolate breakthroughs.
"Flying Taxi" doesn't work. Either you try to do it cheaply and regularly kill riders because your underpaid maintenance staff missed a step somewhere, or you quadruple check every speck of dust to ensure people don't regularly and predictably die but then a single ride is "I'm too rich for public transport" price.

What possible difference could change that status quo? We have commodity helicopters right now, but very few people commute anywhere by helicopter.
You lost me at Nike and Kors.
Okay? This is well-known. What is your point?
XOR is not a great choice here. Consider that 2 copies of a row give the same result as 0 (or 4, 6, etc). And even without multiple copies of rows, you can force any hash you'd like by observing what happens when you insert more random rows
and finding a subcollection that flips exactly the bits you want.

What you probably want to look at is homomorphic hashing. This is usually implemented by hashing each row to an element of an appropriate abelian group and then using the group operation to combine them.

With suitable choice of group, this hash can have cryptographic strength. Some interesting choices here are lattices (LtHash), elliptic curves (ECMH), multiplicative groups (MuHash).
Yep, that was a thing with NTSC-M analog channel 6, which had the audio at 87.75MHz, just below the nominal bottom of the FM range at 88.1MHz. I used to listen to the 10 o'clock news that way.
Migrating data or related processes and running a couple of things in parallel to make sure nothing was in translation… some sort of data replication hacking maybe.

Why don't you compare JSON + gzip to msgpack + gzip? That'd be a more fair comparison.
It's something I see as necessary because products manufacturers you trust can and will sour on a dime (see OnePlus) or even get out of the business entirely (see LG and countless other former Android handset companies). If manufacturers want my loyalty, they can get it by consistently producing superior hardware (both technically and in fit and finish) and treating me well as a customer. Those things on their own are stronger differentiating factors (excellence is unusual) than software gimmicks that rarely live up to promise.
Many of the largest gangs and criminal organizations active today began as self-defense or neighborhood defense groups.
