Front-loading cargo bikes: Riese and Muller Load 75.

I've also ridden the Urban Arrow extensively (ie, many week-long rentals). I've also done multple days with the R+M Packster, Douze V2, and a bunch of others. The R+M Load 75 is superior in every way as far as I'm concerned, but the suspension is particularly well-dialed; nothing else is even fit for comparison.

Guitar picks: Blue Chip TAD or Hense Happy Turtle (in whatever size you like).

I've used so many others over the years... Dunlop Tortex was my stage pick for years. D'Andrea Pro Plec also. Fender mediums. Literally a dozen others. But for speed and flatpicking finesse on a steel-string acoustic, especially for highly technical styles like bluegrass and trad, I've come to realize that spending $10-$30 on a pick is actually not unreasonable.

----

Guitar strings: d'addario XS.

I've also used - for years each - Elixirs and Martin SPs. The d'addarios just don't break as easily, especially G.

----

Instrument pedalboard switcher: I've settled for the moment on the Line6 Helix.

I've also used the Boss DS-9 and a few others. It's not a very fair comparison, and I use the Helix as an all-in-one solution, not just a switcher. But the thing that decides it for me is documentation. In fact, the Helix has very possibly the best documentation of any piece of technology, hardware or software, I've ever used.

----

Pointing device: Logitech MX Ergo.

Also tried the Logitech M570, and several designer mice over the years. The MX Ergo is heavy-duty, precise, wireless works reliably with either the dongle or via bluetooth, and it's easy to clean.

----

Gamepad: 8bitdo.

I've also used the logitech F310 and F510, several revisions of xbox controller, and a whole bunch of others. The 8bitdo pieces, especially the Pro2, are just way more rugged and precise. And comfy!
Neat!

It reminds me a little of a screen saver called Fractal Clock that I wrote many years ago for MacOS X: https://www.dqd.com/programs/FractalClock/

Sadly, the screen saver stopped working as of (I think) Catalina and I have never gotten around to fixing it. But someone else wrote a very clever web version which you can see here: https://cakenggt.github.io/web-fractal-clock/ and the source repo is here: https://github.com/cakenggt/web-fractal-clock

Shame works very well. I so hate it when people use "gay" to invoke some sort of a culture war side-choosing spell. The original comment is about feeling shame not being shamed. If you believe being gay is wrong the yes you should feel shame, if you don't then the question is not relevant for you.

The original commenter is more right than any of us can conceive. So many societal problems would be solved if people had raised their kids to learn to feel shame. Trumpism, gun worship, climate change denial, post-truth mindset, anti-vaxx, treason, insurrection, racial hatred and discrimination,etc... the thing so many of people with these views have in a common is they feel no shame about the harm they are causing.

If in your own opinion you did something wrong, you should absolutley feel shame. What is more evil than being proud of doing wrong by your own standards? You can debate what is right ir wrong or even what morality is but refusing to feel shame is embracing evil.
I guess it depends. I've always liked this phrase, and it's not exclusive to the Christian Bible- it's in other Abrahamic faiths:

"“Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.’ Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them… But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.” – Matthew 13:11-14, 16"

Though I have to say, what is in the ten commandments isn't the most terrible advice. :)
I love this! Tremendous job, really. The best DJT prompting ever, probably.
In the specific case you have chosen as an exemplar, George Cayley established some important principles before the Wrights (as the latter acknowledged), and they themselves succeeded where others failed by doing the science that they needed to cross the threshold. Subsequent development often followed from advances in the science of aeronautics, sometimes in very counter-intuitive ways - for one example, look up Whitcomb's area rule.
The `quiz` program in `bsdgames` is basically this.
> You're under a lot of pressure to increase conversion in your onboarding funnel, so you test out moving your email capture up a bit in your conversion flow (ie to before you deliver results) and it works! Conversion increases throughout the funnel! So you keep it.

I think this is the fundamental problem. Too many people trying to increase conversion in their onboarding funnels, crowding out people who want to put interesting stuff on the internet for purposes other than farming people for money.
I used Samsung DEX (Galaxy Fold 3) as my desktop for work for a few months. It had some minor issues, but otherwise works surprisingly well and I was able to develop Python applications, run web servers, etc.

Plus, it's only using a couple of watts instead if hundreds of watts compared to a 5 year old desktop for the same performance.

Too late to edit, but I forgot another massive benefit of this: Cutting out the cartels, and funding of global terrorism in general. But I'm not convinced the powers that be aren't doing dirty dealings, and thus want to maintain existing power structures
Interesting angle — but if heat death were possible it would have happened by now.
Yes, but using .reality files is better for stuff like games in RealityKit. For example it would contain a GPU-ready texture instead of a jpeg (and a lot of other differences), so it's more in-line with how assets are typically loaded in games.
Yes, if this material is diamagnetic without being a superconductor it is by far the strongest such material we've ever found. 15x stronger than pyrolitic graphite.
> "When posters included links to e-prints to bolster their arguments, they sometimes misinterpreted what the research said or read just the abstracts without looking at or understanding the researchers’ methodologies."

This is will never change and the it doesn't make sense attribute this as a weakness of pre-publish archives. The only way to combat this is to de-democratize access to research and that is a horrible solution.
Wouldn't a hoverboard with rockets on the bottom and back work? I'm not saying it's feasible, just that it's utilizing the same basic science as jets and space travel.
To approach a more accurate "actual meaning" of the phrase, it wasn't originally the second full moon in a month, but instead when a season contained a month with two full moons then that meant that the third full moon of the season was the blue moon.

Quoting the Wikipedia entry for blue moon:

"The author of a March 1946 article in Sky & Telescope attempted to decipher the traditional practice of the editors of the Maine Farmers' Almanac by examining old issues of the almanac. Without enough almanacs to see the correct pattern, he conjectured the wrong rule for 'blue moons', which led to the modern colloquial misunderstanding that a blue moon is a second full moon in a single solar calendar month, with no link to the order it occurs in a season."

It's oddly impressive how small-scale Adobe went with enforcing these registrations. Considering that converting between JPG and PNG is such a granular and common task that there are hundreds of websites just for that, in addition to it being built into almost every major OS.. it's very petty to ask for registration for something this small, rather than leave it open, like their color wheel tool.
Alright, so what does the comment section have to say about this? lol
I had to look up "high-temperature superconductor" since it read like a typo:

> High-temperature superconductors (abbreviated high-Tc or HTS) are defined as materials that behave as superconductors at temperatures above 77 K (−196.2 °C; −321.1 °F), the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. They are only "high-temperature" relative to previously known superconductors, which function at even colder temperatures, close to absolute zero.

The Bitcoin whitepaper laid out a way to prevent double-spend in cryptographically-backed digital currencies using proof-of-work. Proof-of-work was just a brute-force approach but lots of research is going into other ways to solve the problem.

All cryptocurrency is, is cryptographically-backed digital currency. The current wave of cryptocurrencies are rooted in the blockchain scheme laid out in the whitepaper, with various forms of proof. The only thing new is a way to prevent double-spend; cryptographically-backed currencies were not invented with Bitcoin.

This stuff absolutely has a fundamental place in future commerce, especially as generations grow tired of the payment processor mafia acting as global moral arbiters. Smart contracts build upon this, asset classes such as NFTs give distributed ways to work with authentic data. All of the scammers who jumped on to these technologies have nothing to do with the underlying technologies themselves, nor the core group of people who are still interested in progressing this tech.

AI is just automation, which can make use of these tools in a trustless environment, without disruption from untrusted/unwelcome parties. It's not life-changing stuff, but these tools will fundamentally drive the web in ways you won't even notice if you don't look for it.
If the premise was right then it would mean that the workforce wouldn't even be able to afford gas powered cars either. We know they can afford gas powered cars. Increasing incomes will only make it harder for people to afford EVs. It's a self defeating process. The reason EV's aren't affordable is because batteries and the overall EV manufacturing process has not yet achieved economies of scale. Gas powered cars have many more parts and require more labor to create. The reason they are less expensive is that manufacturers have squeezed out most inefficiencies out of the system including outsize profits. Give EVs time and we'll see them stabilize at a price that most workers can afford. The last thing Ford and such companies want is to make a product only the rich can afford. As vital patents expire and more competitors become part of the manufacturing process we'll see prices come down to a price that's reasonable versus people's income. We have seen it with Tesla. 20 years ago only the very rich could afford Tesla's first car. Recently they introduce a somewhat affordable car. Affordability will continue. Believe in the process, it's just a matter of time.
I don't read the parent as conflating a flawed justice system with teaching morality.

I read it as using the failure of the justice system as an example of his larger point: Personal responsibility is a personal lesson that requires personal choices and experiences. It’s not something you can publicly mandate.

The justice system was one example of a failed attempt to publically mandate morality.

A lot of countries have given up on curing addiction. Finland, for example, just gives homeless addicts housing with a social worker supervising, with the idea that their behavior will continue but giving them housing is cheaper than the public services they would consume otherwise. Success isn't necessarily quantified in how much addiction is cured. A lot of chronic drug addiction cases are simply written off (they will never be productive again).
Ranking algorithms should help with this, working on human feedback. Pages that spew badly generated text likely won't rank well on the top search engines. The big LLM names, such as OpenAI, would probably partner (e.g. with Microsoft), to tap into this if they needed to. They may have their own ranking algorithms anyway.

The "G" in "GPU" or the second "G" in "GPGPU" stands for "graphics". The paper describes a compute-oriented processor that doesn't appear to contain any gfx-specific hardware.

For instance, in conventional GPUs, there is dedicated hardware for rasterizing the pixels covered by a triangle; there is dedicated hardware for doing texture map calculations and sample filtering. The instruction set disclosed in the paper doesn't contain anything to help accelerate those tasks. With enough code I'm sure one could get it to draw something, but it will be notably inefficient while doing so.
From what I heard, it would. This kind of diamagnetism would be strong enough to be potentially interesting in other applications and research, if it turns out not to be a superconductor.
The author doesn't like mtr either:

> The example given is that a handful of users running MTR (do not get me started on this bastard program) can actually hit this rate limit. This is an outstanding example because I have seen something similar in practice.

> Consider what that would look like, and how common it would be: If you have a NOC full of people who think they know what they're doing, but don't, that only enhances the probability that everyone is trying to troubleshoot on their own instead of doing a screenshare and coordinating their efforts - thus, you have six guys running MTR to the same IP.

> If they hit that rate limit, what do they see? Nodes suddenly not responding! Randomly, in fact - sometimes responding, sometimes not! That means it's not just a hop that doesn't respond to traceroutes, but packet loss! Wow! We found the problem!

Great question. Running GPT-4, the scraper, SMS, and email isn't free, so to keep the experiment going forever we would need to charge at some point.

Not sure, my best advice would be to just email the authors if you are interested. Seems like they presented to ASPLOS so maybe the students disappeared over the summer for internships or vacation.
To spell it out a bit more for other readers, this article is doing effectively this:

get() {
if needsinit_or_wait_if_initting() { // lock (atomics) then check
thing = init_thing()
}
return thing
}

Which is fine because the check always occurs before reads or writes.

The classic double-checked lock mistake looks something like this, when following this example:

get() {
// "fast" path: get thing if it exists, because
// the code looks like that means it's done, right?
// no check because checks are slow and we move fast!
if thing != nil { // first check
return thing
}

// slow path: use slow stuff which is slow :(
if needsinit_or_wait_if_initting() { // lock then second check
thing = init_thing()
}
return thing
}

It's that un-guarded see-if-nil-and-return that makes it unsafe, because the assignment is not guaranteed to be "complete" in many cases. There is no explicit relationship between the initialization, assignment, and read, so the compiler can do stuff that doesn't match what the code looks like, e.g. reorder "save the new memory address to `thing`" before "init the thing" (so you temporarily have an uninitialized non-nil object), and at runtime you can get stuff like "only the first half of the memory synced to that CPU core so you got a busted object".
Huh? Heat death of the universe is going to take an incomprehensibly large amount of time. Like, 10^106 years.

I agree. But considering it an other (probably less binary) way than the author, it means you have to intentionally undertake to understand an experience purely from your users' view, if you want to do your job well. I think it's more dangerous to have the misconception that you're keeping up with the broadening diversity of users. This, to me, is the beautiful part of the universal design philosophy being adopted by web development.
I've been noticing this a lot too. When I was younger in the earlier days of the internet, it always seemed like it was the religious ones who were judging everyone and demanding they accommodate their beliefs and moral outrages. Nowadays, there is a new crowd that doesn't even go to church but is somehow worse. It's the new religion
> lead free solder has been much more damaging for the environment because of all the e-waste it created.

We're getting quite off-topic here (I guess I should have used different examples), but I would be interested where you got that information from. Most consumer electronics devices do not break prematurely, and especially not due to soldering issues. Source: I buy most electronics second-hand, I regularly repair electronics RoHS and not RoHS, I use lead-free solder and occasionally leaded solder, I watch a bunch of Youtube videos by other people who repair a bunch of electronics, just for fun. (You'll always (and easily) find someone who knows more than me, and it's entirely possible that you do.)

Most consumer electronics devices are retired because their owners got something shinier, or if "broken", it's the battery, display, or some important connector. If something is "actually" broken, it's usually due to power ICs, capacitors, fuses. (You could of course argue that some broken connectors are a case of a soldering issue, but yeah, it's not like I haven't seen broken connectors that were actually soldered using leaded solder, so things can get kind of muddy there)

I mean, yeah, you'd need a very generous marketing budget to make a skatepark full of magnets so we can have hoverboards. Like the one Lexus already built: https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2015/6/25/8846785/lexus-hoverb...
Actually I read it as the opposite of a complaint.

They're basically saying they're able to use and enjoy the web just fine with no-JS. Even if it limits them from many sites, it also frees them to enjoy what is left.

It is a choice that automatically filters out a ton of noise, leaving them with a quieter, more peaceful, more thoughtful internet.

FUD.

Wayland works fine. I have been using Sway for years now without issue. It is also more secure[1], maintained[2] and even works with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. [3][4].

It also isn't the antiquated piece of crap that X11[5] is, which has trouble with things like mixed DPI, and other modern features that Windows and macOS do completely fine without "tweaking" [6].

If Wayland did not exist I would not be using Linux on a desktop. The "screen tearing" with X11 when using a compositor was painful.
