To me Art Deco seems to range from Kinda Like Art Nouveau all the way to "I can't Believe it's not Bauhaus".

Deco and Bauhaus both seem to sometimes share an excitement towards mass production and materials themselves.

Art Deco shows off luxury and wealth, which is not very far from truth to materials.

With art Nouveau I notice designs more than materials, unless they're simple natural things like wood, not really giving any sense of technical achievement or extravagance in the actual materials.

Bauhaus seems to deliberately design things that would not work without the specific high end materials used, and look out of place if they are scratched, everything is pointing to the raw substance, the craftsmanship, the function, and the level of maintenance, and
the design is just a frame.

Art Deco doesn't do the minimalism thing the same way,

I greatly prefer Art Nouveau, but it seems like both the aesthetic and philosophy of Bauhaus is everywhere.

Maybe there's something missing in my personality since I don't quite feel the appeal of simplicity and valuable materials as strongly as some, while the more philosophical types all seem to love it.

I think part of the mass appeal of Bauhaus might be because it got popular when tech was worse. You couldn't make a cheap CrapBoard thing and veneer it, unless you wanted it to peel in a week. That still happens, but it's possible to reliability do form, function, and material more separately.

Maybe people were tired of crappy goods that broke in a year, and Bauhaus was a way of advertising that you weren't doing that.

Now of course, durability seems random, and sometimes people take superficial Bauhaus elements and use them without the deep quality that it was supposed to be about, and it looks bad from the start and then breaks.

And we've got cheap synthetic materials that can be incredibly strong if you know how to design with them, although unfortunately they do not survive the trash compactor, when people toss them even though they're perfectly good, because people tend to see things without valuable substance as disposable.
DNS was designed to delegate subdomains, and we should do it.

But easier for every team to grab a new domain.
Thanks for putting your frustration into words so succinctly. I feel exactly the same!
If you like Lua coroutines and C++20 coroutines, I have written a piece of code that allows to combine both: https://github.com/CM4all/libcommon/blob/master/src/lua/CoAw...

It's used for example by our "myproxy" project: https://github.com/CM4all/myproxy/blob/master/src/Connection... (Ctrl-F Lua::CoAwaitable) - a Lua coroutine is launched from within a C++20 coroutine and the C++20 coroutine awaits the Lua coroutine. Everything integrated in a non-blocking I/O event loop.
SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote-Global (minimum 2 hours overlap with EST working day)
Technologies: Typescript/Next.js/Supabase/Tailwind

We're building a marketplace that connects designers and startups. Backed by YC, W20.

Looking for a full-stack freelance engineer to extend our current Typescript stack to build out:
- Customer-facing frontend in React + Tailwind on Next.js. Designs would be made by world-class designers, because that's what our startup specializes in.
- A backend primarily in Supabase, with as little server maintenance as possible (our backend is currently just some Vercel serverless functions that send data between Stripe and Airtable)
- Underlying matching engine to better match designers and startups, based on need skill and taste

Would be ongoing part-time work to start, with potential to go full-time depending on results. You'd collaborate closely with the founders (including myself), as well as our top-caliber designers, and be involved in formative technical decisions that will shape our stack.

Ideally you:

- Shipped a high-quality React + Tailwind product before from its first commits to production

- Led frontend efforts

- Enjoy architectural questions

- Are interested in AI engineering, vector databases, excited to tinker with multi-modal LLMs

- Love great product design and want to see it spread as software continues to eat the world

- Have at least 4 years of professional work experience

I'm not sure why historical relevance is being talked about. Rail in the US failed to keep pace and has become largely irrelevant despite appearing that it could stand to benefit even more from modernized passenger rail because of often large distances between popular destinations.

It is pretty irrelevant for this discussion except as a criticism of infrastructure.
I think it's because people show examples of Nouveau and label them as Deco.

A number of my colleagues and I are thinking of leaving the software development agency we work for. To be clear, this is an opportunity to hire a team, not individuals.

We're an experienced technical team, with lots of client-facing experience which means we're good at delivering value for money without compromising code quality, and we have experience delivering highly scalable systems. We've all worked in many tech stacks and domains - part of agency life is being able to deliver idiomatic code in a language you've never worked in before in a matter of weeks, not months. You name it, we've done it - whether that's C#, Kotlin, React, Python, SQL Server, or something else entirely. Lots of cloud experience as well, especially (but not exclusively) AWS.

If this is even potentially interesting to you, please get in touch. We're very open to initial conversations of any kind.

What seemed like genuine individuals posting. They seems to have been rescued now, which is good.
People often claim that ChromeOS is versatile enough to replace a normal computer because it has these various compatibility layers. They often fail to mention that they work terribly. You wind up with the poor performance and annoying isolation that VMs give, but with an extra helping of instability and incompatibility. Running anything Google hasn't approved is gated behind "developer mode", and even for a developer the pseudo-Debian container "developer mode" unlocks is confusing. I regularly encounter problems (like needing to run Wireshark) that I believe are simply unsolvable.

I don't understand anything about ChromeOS. At one point it was a bad but clear idea: a machine with just a web browser, capable only of running web apps. Then at some point they decided to just make the world's most complicated and confusing Linux distro, with the vestigial browser-centric design kept around just to make things as inconsistent as possible.

No. Saint media is worried about elon's financial well being.
I wonder if it was 1280 in one community or split across several disparate and possibly warring groups.

I suppose competition from other hominid species might have pushed one community to band together for survival.

I just can’t imagine one community of any size surviving for very long without carving up territory and battling for scarce resources or hoarding to create artificial resource scarcity.

We’re such a fractured and combative species. If we were down to 1280 today I think we’d still figure out how to fight each other.
A single event like the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact does not tell us much about frequencies on its own. Besides, the original width of Shoemaker-Levy 9 was estimated to have been between 1.5 to 2 km.[1] The Chicxulub meteorite was estimated to have been between 10 and 80 km wide.[2] And it happened around 65 million years ago. So frequencies then and frequencies now might be quite different. That meteorite impacts happen from time to time on earth was nothing controversial. The question was, whether there had been a (very rare) hugh impact, large enough at the time of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event and whether this was the only cause for all those extinctions. This is a very complex scenario and several of its details are still debated today.[3]

The most important evidence that an impact was the main cause of the extinction event was provided by the discovery of the Chicxulub crater in 1990/91. However, the investigation of this and other evidence is still ongoing. Contrary to popular belief, scientific debates of this magnitude are not resolved by a single ingenious theory or observation. It is the hard work of many, many people over years and decades that gradually changes and refines the web of belief of a scientific community.

10 & 12, both have iPads with restrictions - 2 hours/day with certain apps excepted, e.g. drawing, coding, other educational apps. No smartphones yet, but both have cellular Apple watches. Texting only with contacts, I manage the contacts. We've consistently drawn the line at 9th grade for their first smartphone, which is fairly late compared to our contemporaries.

They have lots of other things to do, too, of course. We have a Switch, Xbox, trampoline, swimming pool, hot tub, and a neighborhood full of other kids their age. They would probably spend more time on YouTube than I'd prefer if I didn't put a cap on it, but it's been basically fine so far. We do have a rule against iPads in bedrooms with closed doors, though that is starting to relax a bit with the 12 year old.

Kids grow, you kinda have to roll with it and adjust to fit the situation. You can't keep them innocent forever, and if you try, you will not get the well adjusted adult you're aiming for. We have some family who are hard core home schoolers (for religious reasons) and it turns out a disaster more often than not. They're so worried about public school indoctrination but are then surprised to find their own kids refuse to be indoctrinated at home.

As someone who doesn't fall squarely into the corporate left or corporate right bins I'm used to being attacked for not getting my news from the approved corporate media organs.

How can people think that someone is producing free news and research without an agenda? Do you think Elon Musk gets his information from reading blogs and $2/month NYT subscriptions? Musk, and people like him, have teams that research current events for them, and Musk has a platform on which he can influence the free information that people get and manipulate them for his benefit.
>>and at rates which they were not previously able to.

your source for proof of that?

>> in the sense that if we don't clearly take a stand against abhorrent behaviour then we are in some sense condoning it.

No. this narrative of "silence is violence" and "no action is support" etc is 100% wrong.

You started out great, but i can not get behind this type of thinking...

>>Does the tech industry have any alternate solutions that could functionally mitigate this abuse?

Why is it a "tech industry" problem

>>Or do we all just shout "yay, individual freedom wins again!"

For me the answer is simple... Yes individual freedom is more important that everything. I will never support curbing individual freedom on the alter of any kind proclaimed government solution to a social safety problem. Largely because I know enough about history to understand that not only will they no solve that social safety problem, many in government are probably participating in the problem and have the power to exempt themselves, while abusing the very tools and powers we give them to fight X, for completely unrelated purposes.

Very quickly any tool we would give them to fight CSAM would be used for Drug Enforcement, Terrorism, etc. It would not be long before the AI based phashes detect some old lady's Tomato plants as weed and we have an entire DEA paramilitary unit raiding her home...

Your comment confused me. Isn't Apple still scanning iPhones for CSAM just not the iCloud? I don't see any additional threat vectors by doing it locally.
I think it's a pretty hardline opinion to state law enforcement should be confined to "old-fashioned" methods. Tech is changing the world. Let's not let it be a de-facto lawless world.

Yea, LE/IC clearly have gone too far in many modern tactics.

Yea, it's possible to build a surveillance/police state much more efficiently than ever before.

Yea, we should be vigilant against authoritarianism.

I was going to suggest running a cable, and like you say, fibre would be better than a CAT cable, especially if drilling holes are required.

Can you explain a bit? Why is Singapore corrupt?
What kinds of corruption have you observed?
might be obvious - online games much more tempting than offline single player games. I have not played single player games in decade+ but have played several days the latest multiplayer games.

Does it mean online games are more addictive for kids or affect them worse than offline games? probably not. But I have observed (many) kids who can power thru single player games tend to be more unyielding on other tasks.
Fun fact: when you don't give a shit about whether your UI looks like what "the OS looks like" (no offense to Tantacrul, but audacity clearly doesn't), you can get a surprising amount of work done. This isn't a Windows XP application, it looked like this well before Windows XP existed.
You're right that if you're replicating an existing copyright image, the process doesn't matter. Legally, if you lived in a cave your whole life and never saw any art and by amazing coincidence you just happened to paint and sell the exact same painting as some other artist, you'd be violating their copyright. Independent creation doesn't protect you.

On the other hand, under current copyright law, if Stable Diffusion generates an original image that doesn't look like a copy of any existing image, it's clear the new image doesn't violate any artist's copyright.

The debate is whether you can use copyright images/text to train an AI.

Stable Diffusion is of course trained on millions of photos of the real world, in addition to images made by artists. Of course, humans artists also see and digest both the real world and images by other artists and both influence their output. That's why you get trends like impressionism.

Nope , this is the first time that you won't find water, plants, air when you arrive at destination.

Also the first time that you'll have to live forever in a spacesuit, also the first time you won't be able to feel the elements on your skin, say goodbye to rain, wind, sun on your skin , smell of flowers, smell of rain on the soil etc. and whatever alien elements you find there, you cannot feel either because you have to be in a spacesuit the whole time.

The only thing that maybe are better there than on Earth are the visuals, but that's also a question mark, not every planet has a first row view of the Pillars of Creation. At the same time the view of the Milky Way from Earthly spots such as the Atacama Desert is pretty spectacular, and for everything else there is Hubble + VR.
I've had a positive experience with a pair of cheap moca adapters to get wired net to a far room in a house with old coax in the walls. Splitters are absolutely something to avoid. RG6 coax plugs are also notorious for getting right; definitely check all the connections in run if not the whole tree; one rogue strand might be a problem. Try only a straight coax run first to test and then add back all the splitters and other devices.
