This is going to end in tears - of laughter or despair, I cannot predict.

But tears nonetheless. COBOL code has typically gone through decades of bug-fixing and maintainance and is of industrial strength, just like the mainframe platforms it runs on, with reliability and uptimes that are insane compared to distributed, server-based systems. Replacing all that with java to run on servers is already a losing proposition. There's no way that Java on servers can reach the same reliability as COBOL on mainframes, even given some kind of perfect translation or transliteration between the two. Now, COBOL translated to Java by "AI", whatever that means for Watsonx (I think it means by "foundation models") is just asking for trouble.

Trouble, note well, that translates to many millions of hard $$$ lost.

This is going to end in tears.
Except you don't. Belgium the country had a parliament that limited the king and was doing well outside of whatever happened in Congo. Congo was given to the King of Belgium as private property basically, not the government of Belgium.

While some of Belgium population did profit from it, the argument that all of Belgium current wealth is whole depend on the Congo is complete nonsense.
Wow thanks, I was looking for this exact piece of software a few weeks ago when testing against some geo restrictions
How do people fairly evaluate the science behind social media? It seems like a topic that thoroughly infected by personal bias. It reminds me of arguments about violent video games and the rise of school violence; two events that are definitely correlated but have no direct evidence linking them to each other.
The hardcoded issue is more of a consumer router limitation than a pihole issue. Any router that can redirect DNS request + dnsmasq can do what pf-blockerng does. You just don’t see it since pfsense does this in the background. All my ubiquiti stuff or Opnsense uses pihole fine with hardcoded DNS including chromecast (I use NextDNS instead of pihole but essentially the same thing).
Often there's more demons than there are hours in the day.
Biased sample size as well. Most of the individuals in this study made well over 100k.
An important factor to note:
"Children spend most of their waking hours in day care or in school; therefore it is important to study how aspects of these environments can affect children’s development and functioning. "

This is not the average case scenario as the majority of children on social media and the longest amount of screen use are of children who are often not in after school programs or daycares. The reality is that this study is not a good measure of if social media causes depression or not.

I discovered profoundly relaxing and deep sleep by doing this routine.

1. Lie on my back on the bed. Place my hands beside my torso, palms facing down. Keep my legs straight, but free and relaxed.

2. Close my eyes and focus my attention on the region between my eyebrows.

3. Relax my breathing and make it regular and slow.

4. Actively imagine my stress and anxiety to be a form of fluid, filled in my body and then imagine it evaporating from my finger tips.

I do this for about 30 minutes everyday, and the days I do it, I have no recollection of my sleep. I mean, no dreams, no moving about, nothing.

I also found that this form of sleep, makes me absolutely refreshed even if I sleep for only 5 to 6 hours.
Step 0 hack: Don’t drink calories.
There are a lot of studies that claim the opposite, as a layperson I have a hard time separating them out and determining the quality of these studies other than to compare the relative ranking of the universities where the study was performed, the size of the study, demographics of the study subjects (if provided) and the reputation of the people performing the study.

That gives some handholds but it clearly isn't enough to determine anything that you could act on. From personal observation - which I trust more than any single random study - social media seems to be a net negative or a net positive dependent on social background and on whether or not the participant was socially active or isolated before they started using it. If they were socially active they tend to become less so, and if they were not then they tend to become more so. But that's a super limited sample and it still lumps together people that are from very different backgrounds.

I think in general making blanket statements such as TFA title does here about things where personal interaction is a major factor is fraught with peril and error. These things differ substantially from person to person and even if true in the average case that leaves a lot of room for outliers for whom the experience can be extremely negative (plenty of examples for that) or extremely positive (also plenty of examples).
They don’t really explain how filters differ from advanced search in their mind, other than apparently assuming that advanced search must be on a separate page. IMO it’s a continuum.

I have a treadmill that I added a desk to (scrap lumber that I velcroed to the handles), along with a 50” TV about 1m away that I use as an external monitor.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nbt9sdnszcpe9ruk1a9gj/IMG_089...

I get about 3-6hrs on the treadmill each day at about 2-2.5mph. I like using it much more than my standing desk. I find that I sleep much better now and have a lot more energy.
How is that your response, after reading this article? The is operator checks whether the two items are the same object, which is critical in some circumstances.

Pendulum is probably way sharper this time around because we're dealing with the aftermath of the crypto fallout. Sure in practice this time there are actual applications and lots of people paying actual money for real products, but tech has lost a lot of it's sheen and there's going to be a lot more very understandable dismissal of the next shiny. Even though for this one we should probably actually take it seriously since the societal disruption potential is very high and humans dealt poorly with the previous few transitions when tons of people lost jobs. The AI doesn't even have to be that good. Tons of jobs involve trying to turn humans into robots, like call centers and offshore software consultancies, and I think llms passed the "good enough" point a long time ago

The only notification upon init is Copilot requesting Github login which probably uses an OAuth token that expires quickly.
I use Talon with Cursorless for developing by voice. Obviously theres a learning curve but its actually fun and efficient.
You are in a tiny minority. One of my favourite things to do when hanging out with normies is ask how many of the iPhone users in the group pay Apple monthly for services. Usually every single one is paying at least £0.99.
This might be true if the speakers were equally distant from each other and had an equal amount of contact with each other.

I've spoken Mandarin for over 20 years, studied French and Spanish for a few years each and also learned a bit of Cantonese and a bit of Taiwanese. In my subjective experience, French and Spanish are by far the closest of any two of those languages. Cantonese and Taiwanese would be the next closest and Mandarin is considerably further from either than they are from each other.
Counting down in difficult numbers is also a great way to get rid of hiccups.

e.g. count down from 1987 in 23s.

"Rejected" by Don Hertzfeldt is one of my all-time favorite shorts. I've probably watched it over 50 times over the past couple decades.
Great to hear you're getting a ton of value out of it!

On the other parts you mentioned:

Overly positive English prose in Markdown is probably a function of the underlying LLM in use (Claude/GPT-4, plus experimental support for others). I guess the risk is that we overcorrect too far and suddenly the Markdown suggestions are off-putting. If you have any specific examples you'd feel comfortable posting to https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/discussions/358, that would be helpful.

On inline suggestions (autocomplete), we are under much tighter latency constraints than for chat or commands, so the context used for autocomplete is lighter right now. This is a huge area of effort for us, and we're watching completion acceptance rate really closely. We are making autocomplete use embeddings for context in more cases, and @beyang is adding a fast local context search path as well.

On the VS Code extension APIs used, yes, there are some new proposed APIs that are not yet freely available to extensions that will help. For now, the new `Cody: Fixup` command is much smoother UX than the inline comment `+` icon then typing `/fix whatever`—give that a try and let us know if that is better.

Thanks!

Eventually all Steam games will need to run in containers or something similar to manage the dependecy hell, expecting the host system to have some collection of libraries in compatible versions is just recipe for disaster.
I have not actually put this into practice but I have heard that if you skip breakfast and work out instead this can be very effective.

The big reason to use it now is that there are useful libraries built of top of it, and you already know it.

The value proposition has changed though and there isn't a compelling reason to start using jQuery now, but if you are somebody who just stuck with it this entire time it still works and you are still as productive as you ever were.

And as a bonus you didn't waste any time chasing failed fads along the way...

A solid reading list is useful because it's important to understand a technology before either hyping it or criticizing it, Too much description of LLMs both from the "hey this is cool and will revolutionize the world" crowd and this "this is scammy crap like NFTs and not AI" crowd seems to oversimplify the method making it sound like a simple Markov chain. We had Markov chains in the 1980s on hardware less powerful than what's probably powering your microwave today. For better or ill, LLMs are considerably more powerful than that.

That’s wrong. You are under no obligation to work out eu customers - you can’t. If an EU citizen buys a bagel while in NY that doesn’t make the bagel shop under any obligation to comply with the gdpr. Their website can steal all the data it wants to.

If the shop specifically targets eu customers that’s different. If the shop offered bagel drivers to France for example.

Either way the GDPR basically says “don’t steal people’s data”. Ther is no reason to have cookie banners unless you want to take personal data, and the easy solution to that is to not take personal data.
Obviously I didn't get it new, but an 2nd-hand Apple Thunderbolt Display i got for what would be like US$400 has been incredibly useful for me in my graphic design work.

Not only that it has the auto-brightness adjustment and the color quality is superb, but has speakers, camera, mic, ethernet and USB ports, which are a nice thing to have - specially the speakers and mic are pretty good. I can't care less about refresh rate but its resolution (96ppi) make it ideal for me - a nice spot between "old" 72ppi and not having scaling issues with a 4K resolution whatsoever.

I got it to work with Linux with a HP Elitedesk 800 G4, a thunderbolt card they sell after purchase and the Thunderbolt3->Thunderbolt2 adaptor.

I'd like to address the concept of "ads are creepy" which you will hear often. It's a false equivalence.

Most prominently you'll see the flag under "privacy settings" something like "don't show me relevant ads"; this is obviously a manipulative placebo. Ads are not the problem. That creepy feeling is the awareness that "they know everything about you", or literally how your vivisected intellect is presented in a marketplace for all bidders to insert their ideas.

They will continue surveillance and attention assault whether you let them show you a hint or not. They will continue to sell your identity, behavioral patterns, associates, interests, finances, grades, location, moods, biometrics, and anything else they can monetize. They will continue to attempt to alter your mental state and force you into doing things you wouldn't ordinarily do.

However you set that "relevant ads" button, you can be sure the trillion dollar corporation will not lose a penny when you check that box; they'll show you a different, equally profitable, ad, and your data firehose is still for sale.
I find any advice with regards to falling asleep to be very dependent upon the person. Everyone is my family seems to have different sleep styles and it isn't because of people using phones in bed.

So try a lot of different things and do what works.
Indeed. There's countless movies that could be made around other aspects of this period in history. Personally I found this movie kind of a disappointment as Oppenheimer's story is one of the less emotionally engaging aspects to me. It did look good though.

I think it's unmistakable that mental health is declining across the board, but definitive proof of causation is still lacking.

Social media has been omnipresent for years, it's not a new phenomenon anymore, and the continuing toll on mental health doesn't really coincide with just the introduction of social media anymore.

It would be easy if we could just blame Instagram for everything, but there are much worse factors at play. The yearly climate extremes, the massive inflation, the covid pandemic, the housing crisis, the cost of living crisis, and so many other factors give any young person reason to get sucked into depression.

I'm sure the changing social landscape is part of the problem, but many other negative factors got started around the time social media took over the world.
True, but also note that it won't be warrantied the same way. That's just an inherent trade-off, Steelcase has a limited lifetime warranty which I've already used to replace the lift after 10-years.
Can someone who downvoted this give a reason for it, please. An expert report regarding a final repository for highly radioactive materials published by the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection assumes a necessary isolation period in the order of 1 million years.[1] This is a period two orders of magnitute longer than the 10,000 years considered in the article.

Get three huge monitors (27-30") and put them in a big H on your desk, the leftmost and rightmost ones in portrait mode. Get a good keyboard, with full numpad. Get a good wired headset with boom mic, and run wired ethernet to the computer.

Source? I've seen a variety of claims about the revshare split on youtube, but I've never seen any official source of those numbers.
I'm unconvinced. I like electricity and water I can drink and all that sort of thing, and society seems to be doing a pretty good job of providing that. Certainly enough of it for my own needs right here in my house.
But that's not all about it. You probably don't know amount of courses available on YouTube. Chemistry, medicine, engineering, mathematics and what not.
I'm sure there are egregious examples, but I think "I told you so" is fine. You get these waves of bro-kids storming into established disciplines and acting like hot shit, it's not surprising to see people happy when their bubble burst. Importantly, I don't see pushback against ML researchers or practitioners, it's against the charlatans who are using the hype to sell snake oil. That's completely warranted.

Gentoo ebuild USE and CFLAGS flags allow the user to specify custom compilation settings as necessary for optimization on a given processor architecture like i386, i486, i586, or i686.

For example, with ebuild (or dpkg-repack or rpmrebuild) a person could build the compiler packages with all of the appropriate optimization flags for the chipset on the box where the package will be installed:

That part was obvious enough. The icing on the cake is that they fail to point the reader to in-depth reading material, written by experts. Doing so would serve to acknowledge to the reader the author's own limitations, and to point them in the direction of some better help, since the reader might actually need it if they're reading that.

That's all the author had to do to keep this post from being a complete eyesore. But frankly, an eyesore is wishful thinking when you consider that some could actually end up trying this for weeks, failing, and getting epicly discouraged.

Though in all likelihood it won't matter either way as the two kinds of people in today's Internet are those that trust everything they read, and those who fall out of the gene pool.

React Native is terrible for maintenance because old libraries rot in extraordinarily troublesome ways; typically the choice of libraries is between obviously already dead but it might still work today, amateur efforts with no real support, currently popular but who knows what will happen in two years, and do-it-yourself.

Specific React Native circumstances and design choices, like the coexistence of alternative Javascript interpreters (e.g. JSC and Hermes), different tools for the same purpose (e.g. npm and yarn), separate organizations (e.g. React vs. React Native vs. the "standard library" vs. certain tools) and radically different code styles (e.g. old class components and new function components that are nicer but without feature parity) add risk and pointless maintenance.
