Coincidentally, I just started, for the third time, the Constance Garnett translation, which has been the standard for 100 years.
Yes, exactly. Git worktrees will for instance make it easier to merge changes between multiple checked out branches without pushing upstream.

For big repositories with long histories (like Qt), worktrees also save some disk space.
What philosophical principle justifies censorship, which is just propaganda through ommision?

How can someone decide for themselves that they agree something is bad, if they aren't allowed to see it, or even know it exists?

I don't think there is any philosophical principle that resloves to "and therefor we should commit ignorance"
I don't necessarily stake a position in your disagreement, but do think there is a difference between majority usage and origin.

Did you ever read Crowley's Little, Big? If those series you name form different columns in the periodic table of fantasy, I would say this one novel is in its own column.
Significantly less disk usage is the main one for me. If you have a workflow where each task has a worktree, and you have 10-15 tasks in progress, and the repo is a decades old monorepo, then storing only one copy of the history is a big savings.

A task could be any small thing that requires its own checkout for some possibly stupid reason, like running the regression tester or temporarily running an old version of a binary out of your dev checkout over NFS if there was a bad deploy.
This is not correct. Momentum is conserved by the spurious solution and there's still an equal but opposite force on another body (the body producing the gravitational force).

I think this example just illustrates a case where the Newtonian model of reality simply does not describe reality itself
We are currently accelerating towards a cliff. We may not stop the car before the cliff, but the next best thing we can do is getting our legs off the pedal.

Maybe technology will help us achieve that last minute stop we so need, but we have to start somewhere.
That is the thing Intel drivers did not do the right thing, versus what AMD, NVidia, and all now gone 3D vendors.
That is interesting.

I’m sure it depends on the application to some extent. I can type my pin in without looking at all, so I can cover it up while doing it. If I had to hunt and peck, it’d easier for an onlooker to observe my slower motions I think.

But if I used the same machine often enough to produce wear specific to me, this randomization would be really useful.
Agreed. Much too useful to decry as useless. But also like everything, entirely timing specific
It also made things slow. Modern SPA links have pre loading optimizations baked in. It's quite important especially if your users are on mobile.
> We have different tastes but, socially, "beauty" is intended as an average.

That sounds like a subjective comparison then, not an objective one.

Edit: If people were to judge beauty subjectively, rather than objectively (as you claim they do), how would that be different?
Imho LLM's are just a least-square algorithm on steroids [0]. Their conceptual inventor is arguably Carolus Fridericus Gauss (30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855). In any case, if he would somehow reappear today he would immediately grasp how they work despite skipping a few centuries.

Assuming he would not be promptly hired by some FAANG to boost their AI prestige, he would likely proceed to sharply criticize the cargo cult AI movement. He would invent a few new classes of neural networks for breakfast but crucially, he might construct a meta-theory about how, when and why something based on least-squares can convincingly fit the structure of a corpus of human generated information artifacts.

The article does a good job to review of the various loose arguments [1] which point to the vast difference between human intelligence and least-square type models.

It is unlikely to move the debate forward though. AI "ultras" have developed a sophistry that negates any intelligent discussion. It consists of repeating ad nauseam: the brain is an input-output machine that learns on data, software is an input-output machine that learns on data, ergo, software = brain, and ergo, it is only a matter of (unspecified) time before super-software becomes super-brain.

[0] This stance does not reduce their utility, it just removes the metaphysics

[1] They are loose because we know so little about how the higher functions of the brain come about and work. E.g., when Gauss invented the least-squares method something remarkable happened in his brain that is unlikely to have much to do with least-squares. The fact that not every human is Gauss does not mean that this capability is not innate and latent in the structure of all human brain.
Yes, that’s definitely one of the most realistic ways going forward, though the recyclable bottles part would need separate government standards and laws.
32 years ago I had just finished my "erikoistyö" (a pregrad exercise) in CS at the Helsinki Uni about combining object-oriented programming with relational databases and uploaded it to nic.funet.fi for all to see and enjoy - I was that proud of it. Even promised to send a 1.4MB diskette for those who couldn't download it for whatever reason.

Cannot help feeling good of seeing it's still there.
https://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/computer/oop/

Only curiosity value is left probably, but back then it felt like magic to be able to publish something like this on my own. Half a dozen people even asked for the diskette, which I sent to them.
I remember reading what Lenat did with early versions of Eurisco: he ran it on some axioms from number theory and observed discovery of some number theory theorems, some of them pretty fundamental. As "time" progressed, the "theorems" Eurisco kept getting discovered became duller and duller, like expansion of square of sum into sum of products (I can't remember exact example from the book, but level of dulliness is about right).

I believe this can be served as example of combination of existing concepts in novel ways, applied to math, which is very formal and, on the other hand, is the basis of many other areas of human knowledge.

If this can serve as a such example, then you are wrong.

Also, what you have shown as your examples are not very much interesting outside of entertainment.
So microphones need to get muted automatically by password prompts, seems simple enough in principle.
A difference between this and the OP is that OP doesn't pass in a length, instead terminating on the first invalid character (which is the trailing null byte in the benchmark). Means that the array-out-of-bounds check can't be abused.
I'm sure there are bakeries from here to the 400km away one. But even if they are 5km, why bother? Unless the nearby one is so bad that it can't be considered altogether.
The TCPA is a federal law, right? Do you sue them in federal court for TCPA, and then a separate lawsuit in state court to layer on top the state fines, or this is all somehow combined into one?

The royal family is largest land owner in London.

I am not suggesting you were thinking of London.

I am saying that analogous forces exist elsewhere and are equally resistant to land reform in favor of unlanded peasants.

And by extension that most people are unlanded peasants. Even though they don’t think they are.

The Google hotel is for its unlanded peasants. Not the C-suite. The C-suite doesn’t want those people living in their neighborhood.

Bosses will do just about anything to point the finger at anyone but their own behavior. Poor strategy, poor communication, changing directions like a 4yo on too much sugar.
In general competitive pressure makes things better. If you can choose between two things that are similar but one costs less, you can save money. If they cost the same but one is better, you can choose the better one. The easier it is for you to switch, the less the provider can get away with before you do.

Governments have weak competitive pressure. You have to uproot your whole life and move to another jurisdiction. When you vote, you're making a choice about every issue under the sun at once and it's impossible to change your vote on only one issue by itself. You can also easily end up "represented" by the candidate you voted against. As a result they're extremely inefficient by default and should only be used when the alternative is catastrophic.

This is doubly true in markets that could be competitive, because the incumbents have the incentive to use the government to reduce competition so they make more money. The obviously relevant example is zoning rules that restrict housing supply. It's critical to not allow that to happen, or to undo it when it already has.

Trying to cancel it out with even more regulations is just another opportunity for incumbents to sneak in some new way of screwing you. When you screw up a market this badly, people get desperate and angry and start proposing all kinds of aggressive "solutions" because they fail to understand the cause of the problem but want something done about it. The most ridiculous of these are generally filtered out, but the ones that make it through are the ones that don't work or make it worse because those are the ones the incumbents fight the least.

You have to fight the cause of the problem, which is a government captured by land owners imposing rules that make housing more expensive. The solution is to remove those rules.

> There are widely published opinions that state this just makes landlords richer and housing rarer to further deregulate.

One of the main reasons "deregulation" has a bad name is that its purpose is to increase competition and lower prices, which is exactly the thing the incumbents don't want, so instead they propose a "compromise" that prevents exactly the thing you're trying to get.

For example, suppose you have two rules. One says that new housing construction is utterly prohibited, the other says that all rental properties must have working plumbing.

In a competitive market the second rule is inefficient because all it really does is prohibit anyone from offering a storage unit with no plumbing. There would be enough apartments with running water that nobody would have any reason to consider one that didn't.

But in a market where increasing the housing supply is inhibited, there are more tenants than rental units and that allows abusive slumlords to find tenants willing to live under such conditions.

Much "deregulation" is the corruption in which you only remove the second rule and not the first, which of course makes things worse, because the first one is the one that matters and the second one is just an inefficient attempt to mitigate the damage.

Increase the housing supply until rents go down. Accept no substitutes.

https://ftp.sunet.se/ (and ftp://ftp.sunet.se) started in 1990 is also still running!

History: https://ftp.sunet.se/mirror/archive/ftp.sunet.se/html/histor...

The SUNET Archive began its life in 1990 as an ftp archive created by Lars Gunnar Olsson of the IT-Department at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, or SLU, in Ultuna, a few kilometers outside of Uppsala.

The archive became a SUNET facility in 1993 and was assigned the name ftp.sunet.se. In the SUNET newsletter SUNETTEN from 1993 it is noted that the archive already contains 4 GB of data and there is room for another 4 GB.

By 1994 the SUNET Archive was ranked among the largest and most visited archives in the world. Its total storage capacity was then 28 GB.
The list of TCP and UDP port numbers [1] is a treasure trove of historical artefacts. It's amazingly hard to find information on e.g. "compressnet", which is wasting port 2 and port 3 for eternity.

I have 0 love for what RedHat is doing, but one thing I have noticed: I have developed enterprise software for Linux for these last two decades, and the last time I saw one of these (huge) companies having an actual RHEL license was with RHEL 6. It's been CentOS and clones since then; for a while I think people even _meant_ CentOS when they said RHEL.

Same story with Qt, where they'll stay with Qt 4.x to avoid paying Digia even if practically all their software depends on it.

It'll depend on your usage pattern and local cost of electricity-- if you're running that device that uses 10W more power 24/7, that works out to 87.6 kWh of additional power usage over the course of a year, or about $15 at the current average cost of electricity in the US ($0.17/kWh as of June 2023). If that's a monitor, you'd have to run it for a pretty long time before your break-even point on purchase cost alone (10+ years on a lower-end monitor, and probably not in your lifetime on something from Apple).

If your usage isn't continuous (which it probably isn't), that'll reduce your electricity cost and extend your break-even point even further; if electricity costs more in your region, it'll shorten it (average EU energy prices are around double that of the US IIRC, and some countries are much higher). But it's still going to take a while to break even if the efficiency improvements you're considering are in the 5-10W ballpark; that's not all that much power in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah and the server connecting to the client for a transfer is kinda weird too. Of course there's passive mode these days.

What do you mean by "fuss"? Left to interpretation, anything not aligning with your view could be classified as fussing.

I don't use RH so it doesn't affect me personally, but they still hold sway in the ecosystem at present and their practices may inspire others to use orthogonal contracts to disincentivize the use of rights granted by the GPL.

We can choose non-RH today, but can you not picture a future where this is practiced by more than just them? When social practices change in influential places, it can have far-reaching consequences that don't appear related at first. If others didn't look to RH for guidance or examples of how to do business on Linux, I'd be much less concerned.
The Curiosity rover went slowly because it was designed for data collection, not for speed. (That, and the fact that it had to get to Mars, which put severe weight limits.)

Astronauts covered a lot of distance but they didn't do a lot of science. Though to be fair, they weren't there to do science. They were there to plant flags, take selfies, and maybe bring back some souvenirs so that science could be done back on earth. They didn't even send up a scientist until that last mission.

The rover there was primarily to establish ownership. Having done that, they stopped.

A team of humans might improve the efficiency of the robots, by repairing them faster and doing some other work locally. But for the same cost you could send up an awful lot of robots.
Ah, but there are a bunch of other carbon capture solutions, DAC is usually considered among the highest cost.

But yeah, not emitting is cheaper in most cases, and you’re right, we can’t just slather carbon capture on our current situation and not change anything else.

The apartment is not RFID/NFC. It’s HTTPS. Yes, that’s as insane as it sounds.

Also, “you can just hack the HTTPS API to trigger via SMS over twilio” is not a convincing argument towards “people don’t need smartphones”. Arguments towards your thesis are kind of going off the rails there, if I’m being honest.
Are you aware of any existing languages that implement this technique? This seems like a possibility that research languages could explore if it doesn't exist already.
It isn't anything special. Lots of big companies now accept WFH 3 days a week. The other 2 days they arrange company shuttles for those people so it is much easier now.

Your example of $100/month is ridiculous hyperbole. More like $4000 in SF and $2000 in San Jose. If I have to choose between an extra 4h a week driving but saving $500 per week, then I will do it.

Interesting but I guess the key here is that they sprayed something stretched with water. I'm not an essential oils person but I'd guess a pure oil would kill all bacteria.

There was little of lasting value on Twitter. It was great for breaking news or timely discussion but I’ve rarely had the need to go back and reread old tweets. Reddit, at least in the right subs, is often a StackExchange with a much broader scope and less pedantic moderation. I probably refer to old Reddit posts multiple times a week.

I don’t miss Twitter. I would absolutely miss Reddit.

If you have 2FA and one part of it is easily figured out, then you have one factor authentication.

If you cared enough about the authentication in the first place to bother with 2FA, then I guess it seems like the reduction there is still something to be worried about, right?

Lots of “two factor authentication” schemes seem to involve just getting a text or something, so, not very secure at all. Of course, this is bad 2FA, but it is popular.

MOND is really a rule without a theory; it simply posits that there is an acceleration cutoff below which gravity does not obey an inverse square law. This conjecture has been shown to have impressive predictive power, and it naturally explains a bunch of observations that are not obviously related and require fine-tuning in a dark matter paradigm. The blog linked here goes into a lot of detail on those observations, as well as observed phenomena that don't seem to fit well with MOND.

What the theory underlying MOND actually is is anyone's guess, and an area of active conjecture. But that's just as true for dark matter.

It really depends on the sub. "Reddit" isn't really one big forum, but more like a hosting platform for lots of mostly independent forums. Some are moderated quite reasonably, some are moderated very strictly, and some barely at all.

As a rough rule of thumb, the larger the sub, the worse it is. This holds true for communities in general in my experience – humanity doesn't really scale well to large groups.
