There's real UX benefit to it is why. Things instantly changing to entirely different layouts takes time to process visually, if things lerp to their new positions then that processing time is cut down to the length of the animation, which are usually around a quarter of a second, not half or a whole. It might get in the way of speedrunners and power users, feel free to disable them, but you're not the target audience. It's the average user who doesn't have every UI nook and cranny burned into muscle memory.

Achilles tendonitis is very popular side effect of flouroquinolone antibiotics(cipro, avelox, levaquin and others). The symptoms can show up to 12 months after last dose.

There are many other side effects. If this applies to you, you should never take this drug again.
I feel appImage is missing metadata. I'd be great when the user downloads an appImage, it is automatically linked to the mime types is can handle, shows up in relevant menus, and can properly register itself to any services it needs (e.g. Cron).

It could also do with an update mechanism.

Recently, I was able to get a NVME SSD into an old dell (i5-4590) using a modified bios and a PCIE adapter card. It booted into fresh win 10 in seconds.

I think it's the old problem where the more crap windows accumulates, the longer it takes to boot.

And you’d think Boomers would understand how that mentality is bullshit.
The core idea of Nix that has basically "solved this problem" is simply trying to control for all possible inputs to a build-time and run-time environment, and lock them all down with hashes, which is in essence basically treating a build like a pure function. (In theory, this should result in deterministic builds and deterministic runs. And in practice, nearly 100% of the time, it does.) The point of a "derivation" is to provide that for code that does not. Nix, and derivations in general, are thus sort of a "scaffolding" over all the existing build tool and dependency managers out there that bring them "over the line" regarding this. If these build tools and dependency managers all embraced the Nix way of specifying dependencies, and they all agreed to store it in a Nix store (i.e. a Merkle tree), then hypothetically, Nix would not even be necessary (except perhaps as a group of small tools to manage the store).

1) This is probably too much to ask of people. 2) This still leaves behind decades of software that would still need to be built in the future and would thus still need something like the "scaffolding".

But again, the fundamental idea is really just this: Treat builds and runs as pure functions. Every other advantage derives directly from that principle. If someone else can figure out how to do this as simple as possible, I'm all for it! In the meantime, I think every developer should read Eelco's thesis paper on this idea: https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/nspfssd-lisa2004-final.pdf

Of course, the OTHER way to solve this problem is just to statically-compile everything, leading to an explosion of disk-space usage. And even then, you wouldn't get guaranteed rebuilds.
True, but “force” as used in that paper is so vague I gave up. Force is applied somewhere, and it makes very little sense to add up forces in different places. Although if you ignore GR and add up forces everywhere, you get F=0 (Newton’s third law), which is well below the supposed maximum. And trying to decide whether the net internal force of a system (0) is an extensive property is a bit silly :)

Admittedly, power has much the the same problem. Saying that P <= P_max is some sort of physical law requires a lot more explanation of what it would mean than the paper even tries to give it.
A lot of software also puts in some kind of input delay/rate limiting for no apparent reason.

Video game console system UIs and some game menus seem to be really bad about this for some reason.
> smalltalk with message passing

And then we look at language implementation and find message passing can be optimized away —

The control structures that are so optimized by the compiler are the conditional selection messages to Booleans (ifTrue:, ifFalse:, and ifTrue:ifFalse:), some of the logical operation messages to Booleans (and" and or:), and the conditional repetition messages to blocks (whileTrue: and whileFalse:).

You're correct. In fact, they can even let webpages break out of the sandbox. So, some random JS loaded from the web can now compromise your system.

No.

You're confused because you're attempting to take an entire technology and then view it through a binary lens of "good" or "bad." This is impractical and not at all useful.

I'm sorry your use of social media is filled with such negativity. Other people are using to connect over their hobbies, to collaborate and to do work together, to do research, to put together broadcasts, to have this very conversation we're having right now.

Social media is exactly like all other human activities. It's a reflection of the sum total of humanity. It has both good and bad aspects to it. It is a part of us because we built it.

Agreed I feel like, and I do this a lot as well, people have a tendency to track their habits and assume everyone follows that. From my perspective, the gen image buzz is still as hot as ever!

If I lacked excitement for SDXL it was because it felt like the there was no massive jump in image quality to me. Sure the size doubling is great, but it also presents a problem, as I don't always want to generate 1024x1024 images. I still use third party trained 1.5 models because they create damned good outputs and I have like 5 different upscaling solutions and at least one will add new detail as things are upscaled.

Same thing applies to figuring out what you want. First identify all the stuff that you don't want - particularly things you already have and are willing to get rid of. Getting rid of things really reinforces the notion that you don't want them. This also makes space and frees up time to explore things you do want even if you're not sure what that is yet.
Why should namecheap subsidize the cost? That makes 0 sense and I say it as a namecheap customer. I don't see how its fair for them to cover the cost and I don't want them to do so because I am a happy customer and don't want them to go out of business or lower their product quality.

Younger Dryas Impact Theory?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas

The Younger Dryas, which occurred circa 12,900 to 11,700 years BP,[2] was a return to glacial conditions which temporarily reversed the gradual climatic warming after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM),[3] which lasted from circa 27,000 to 20,000 years BP. The Younger Dryas was the last stage of the Pleistocene epoch that spanned from 2,580,000 to 11,700 years BP and it preceded the current, warmer Holocene epoch.

One place I know where latin1 is still used is as an internal optimization in javascript engines. JS strings are composed of 16-bit values, but the vast majority of strings are ascii. So there's a motivation to store simpler strings using 1 byte per char.

However, once that optimization has been decided, there's no point in leaving the high bit unused, so the engines keep optimized "1-byte char" strings as Latin1.

There are already lots of tasty vegetarian recipes. But a lot of non-vegetarians are really, really attached to the idea that vegetarian diets are somehow incomplete or unsatisfying.

So if you want to reduce the environmental harm and improve animal welfare, you need to meet them halfway. That means fake-meat products. It's not optimal along a number of dimensions (it's more expensive and less healthy than meals designed to feature vegetables), but it's something people will buy.

I'd love it if these became "gateway" foods, allowing them to at least consider the many foods that have always been meatless. Indian cuisine in particular has fantastic meatless dishes; I'd love to see that take off.

Meantime, I'm all for harm reduction. Better than nothing.

While funny, I think that misses the point.

I see the value here being: when you can’t understand the causal relationships for success, use the causal relationships for failure that you can understand and then avoid specific failure modes.

> The issue with Univeral income is it's easy to dismantle or not fund.

Completely the opposite. Because everyone gets it, lowering the funding requires you to fight everyone. The average income is moderately higher than median income, so the median person (i.e. the majority) receives more than they pay, even if it's funded with a flat tax. (Which also allows you to vastly simplify the tax system, because flat tax + UBI is progressive but requires much less privacy-invasive financial tracking than other forms of progressive taxation.)

> Let's say we set the level at $1k per month for everyone. Great, until it's 2050 and that level is still $1k.

So index it to inflation, or better yet, GDP per capita.

> But also, you'll have politicians saying "This is a huge cost to the government and everyone should just take care of themselves. So let's cut back the spending for people born in 2023". Just like they did with SS.

They only get away with that because the people born in 2023 wouldn't have received SS until ~2088, which doesn't concern their parents, and the infants are too young to put up any resistance.

With a UBI, everyone gets it, and then every parent will object that they're cutting funding for children.
Seems kind of shady imo. I know businesses is businesses but that's seems a bit too mean for my tastes.
A story an old engineer at Apple told me:

When working on MacOS 8.x (not sure which point release), they surveyed users, and their number one complaint was boot time. It took long for the system to boot (around 45s on average at the time). They looked into it but also asked the question, why do people care about boot times at all? At this point, the systems were capable of sleeping, so reboots should be rare.

They found that people were rebooting because of instability, not just once a day or once a week. While they did improve the boot times, they put more effort into making the OS more stable. When the new release shipped, people stopped complaining about boot time, but not because it was vastly improved, instead because they were doing it less often.

The moral of the story is to make sure you understand both what your customers are asking for and why your customers are asking for it.

The P3 era was really a golden age. Clock speeds were still rapidly doubling, you could get SMP but most people didn't so everything had to optimize single-threaded perf, and likewise "normal" memory spanned 32MB to 512MB so you could really keep multiple programs' full working sets ready at once.

Goes into excruciating detail of many of the anti-piracy measures in Tempest, and probably covers what the parent is talking about. All "writing" was executable code in Tempest because everything being drawn is by telling the electron gun where to aim, so you have commands like a "Turtle" graphics library.

A rewrite makes sense for two reasons. 1: No two people on your team understand the code from start to finish, or 2: (as in this case) the current stack cannot perform to the standards required, and another stack can.

Too many people just want to remix code or rehome it, taking the papers out of the old book and putting them into a new cover. At the very least, take the time to make sure you fully understand the system before you replace it.

Actually read the source code before a rewrite.

It’s been so long since I’ve been stung I don’t know which hurts more, but it must be noted the reason honey bees sting only once is that the stinger is barbed and hooks into the skin of its victim. The bee might leave, but will not live to fight another day - the bee is essentially disemboweled, as the stinger-attached organ producing/pumping venom is pulled from its guts to leave behind with the embedded stinger, continuing to pump venom into the unfortunate recipient.
