Yeah I feel like this is partly why "it's free, therefore you can't complain" is not true. The mere fact that Calibre exists and kind of works means that it is much harder for anyone else to create a competing program with a sane UI.

I'm not saying the authors of free software have any responsibility to listen to complaints, but complaints aren't inherently invalid because they're about something that's free.

You could argue for "Websites that don't validate client's WEI compliance are marked as insecure by Chrome". But that's a stretch, your version makes much more sense. The real fear is that if WEI happens, in 10 years banks and major websites will reject non-blessed browsers and OSes. All for the user benefit, of course.
How to protect against a lawless humanity?
Its a discussion among friends, and the topic of wildlife protection has come up. In particular, how to protect wildlife against lawless times. Poachers, Deforrestation, the assumption that government wants to protect this, given enough monetary incentive, may not hold, if times get bad enough. So how to protect something, against humanity decaying down to a wild "today i life" horde?

It must not be wild animals, take something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault - its protected by its remote location.

Any idea is welcome. Non-violent preferred.
There's a staggering, mind blowing, astronomical levels of bloat and complexity in modern systems, be it SoCs, Operating systems or apps.

Many mobile apps nowadays are larger in binary size than whole operating systems+applications doing extremely useful work.

It's staggering, scary and, where is this all going? Will someone or something put a damper on it? Probably not.

Get rid of the scheduling too if you're doing it too often. Two times a year is good enough.
I realize you say "not authoritative", but just to clarify - LAION isn't the creation of Emad Mostaque or Stability AI. Emad is/was a funder who showed up well after its inception. The same applies for his work with Eleuther. Although some members of both LAION and Eleuther did go on to become Stability employees. LAION was also partially born from _frustrations with_ Eleuther's TPU culture and inability to ship anything (at the time, and excepting Katherine Crowson's great work) for text-to-image work.
I wouldn't say they are intentionally spiteful, just that modern electronics are complex enough, especially highly integrated stuff like smartphones, that the OEM's suppliers would be unhappy if detailed schematics were released. Since they would not be willing to guarantee on the record that they are correct, nor would they want stuff impinging on actual trade secrets to be revealed.
You should be reaching the charge decay of that cell more or less now. :)

But yes, incredible. These are products made with a lot of care, unlike modern counterparts that are just so very lax on these things.
Simulating Gravity Lensing
Really? Could you expand on why?

(I'm a fan of his work but haven't read him in years)
I use Lean 4 quite a lot these days, and I appreciate how the developers embrace syntax extension and metaprogramming solutions rather than trying to encode complicated control flow using ascii art operators (it's like Lisp meets the ML family). I suppose programming with dependent types is enough of a challenge, so why make it even harder? They've got a sophisticated "do" notation with imperative constructs, mutable variables (that are translated into something StateT-like), and pretty seamless monad lifting. They've also got pipeline operators, including things like `x |>.foo a b c` for `X.foo x a b c` if `x` has type `X` (type-directed field notation is wonderful).

Many times you don't even use currying, since it's not always worth the effort making a particular argument be the last one. Instead you might write `xs.map (f · x)`, where `(f · x)` is short for `fun a => f a x`.

The language also has an interesting GC that lets you write functional algorithms that have good memory performance -- objects with exactly one reference can be mutated (using so-called FBIP, "functional but in-place"). There's an Array type whose theoretical representation is a linked list but whose run-time representation is a dense array with O(1) pushing, popping, and writing. Makes it easy to write performant code without resorting to sophisticated functional data structures.

The majority of the population lives in poverty. It's very-very difficult to have any values other than survival while poor. There's also very slim chance poor people to be educated. They work 12h/day at jobs where they can't even go to toilet. When would they have the time to read about a bootloader?

I don't think Windows 10 S was a failure, but it was never aimed at the average consumer, rather than institutions who operate extremely locked down devices, like information kiosks, or school or library computers. These organizations need very efficient fleet management tools that can be operated by a small (even part-time) IT professionals.
It is not that Apple's ecosystem is perfect. Far from it.

It is the others are so bad, so poorly designed and handled is what made Apple felt so good. That is both Microsoft and Google.
My grandparents didn't forget. In late February 2020 I brought up the topic of the novel coronavirus going around and they weren't overly worried because they'd gone through a respiratory pandemic or two before (there was another one in 1968).

I think covid will be more memorable, partly because it was more serious, but also because our reaction to it was much stronger, especially in some parts of the world. My understanding is that there were generally only minimal efforts at containing those flu pandemics. Incidentally, my grandparents also had time off school because of the polio epidemic.

That said, the Spanish flu, the last respiratory pandemic comparable to covid (actually, worse) isn't remembered well. I wouldn't be surprised if most people have heard of it only because of covid.
Parents keeping the details of household bills from me enabled them to castigate about pretty much anything, from leaving a light on for more than a few minutes, to suggesting I had worms because of the amount of food I ate and I was far from obese.

Once forced to move out in my twenties, I found it wasnt that expensive, I could eat well, do things and the anxiety I had with not being able to pay bills was unfounded.

I think businesses could help youngsters gain their independence by just being more upfront over the costs they are likely to see, if they move into a property, etc etc.

With hindsight I should have moved out earlier because the parents did get alot of unpaid help from me by me still living at home, which is part of that one way older generational exploitation thats normalised in society.
This is true, everything is sandboxed, these days (but I'm not as sure about MacOS, as I am about iOS).

But it's still a bad look, and Apple won't approve an app, if they can get it to crash -regardless of the reason.

We're veering towards Chinaesque authoritative regimes if that's the case. A social credit score could be down the line for the West, unless we fight for the future we want. And by fight, I don't mean lurking on Internet chat-rooms complaining, I mean literal protests in the streets and donating half your income to the EFF and other freedom fighting initiatives.

Both driving instruction and tests can be done in the applicant's own vehicle or in the instructor's car, in the UK, so the vehicle isn't the issue.

Examiners were expensive and rare already before 2020, and a hell of a lot of them dropped out in the covid era for health and practicality reasons. Testing and examination was impossible for a period of time and then impractical for a period afterwards which hit the profession.

It caused an enormous backlog of driving tests which I think is not even resolved now.

But also driving instruction and examination is a popular career choice for older people made redundant or "invalided-out" of jobs (particularly in the police or forces). Many of those people did not return when they could, for safety reasons.

Crypto is mostly a store of value and an accounting ledger (I.e. to represent ownership). It's the thing people would run to if there was a run on payment platforms. That's why it will always be more valuable. Cryptocurrencies represent a safer place to store wealth and the smaller transaction throughput is worth the substantial amount of additional security it provides. Payment systems will always be more disposable and geared around large quantities of small day-to-day transactions. It doesn't make sense to hold any substantial amount of money on these platforms.

If something is a service then there should not be a "buy" button, but a "lease" button.
Not true, there's also Huawei, who is definitely not 'following' anymore.

General purpose desktop computing isn't dead yet. It's still available - but barely. Now is the time to save it, or it will be gone soon.

The same thing happened to TVs. There are nearly no 'dumb' TVs that doesn't do anything more than just display the video signal. All the 'smart' ('over-smart' is more appropriate) TVs out there take too long to start and they almost always phone home to their overlords. The really worrying part is how normalized it is. I remember someone here on HN contemptuously dismissing my concern, saying that dumb-TVs are called 'computer monitors'. How many affordable 'computer monitors' above 30 inch do you know? And give it enough time - even computer monitors will become 'smart monitors', unless something is done now.
Failing to account for platform behaviors can be your fault, but it doesn’t mean you can account for them at all times. If you put something in user defaults and cfprefsd crashes at that moment, you might lose a value you stored: should your code handle that? Probably not. In this case you could say “well I could try again, or check to make sure I really saved the data” but can you really? Are you going to write an exponential backoff algorithm to raise your confidence of consistency for each setting you write? Much less for all the other things that can break? Sometimes the appropriate thing to do is get the crash log that the GPU failed and if they ask you about it you read and tell them what happened.
That just has to return to being a market differentiator and sales feature for gear.
Both can be true. It may be a happy side effect that you can’t easily repair your device and it’s hard to give schematics

The critique of dictionaries made by “teams” of people, as against a single person, is odd. Like the writer expects lexicography to be just an art form where word lovers can explore and display their idiolects or something.

If a dictionary is supposed to state the meanings of words as those words are used, you have to go out and look at how they’re used, not toil in isolation at your desk, tracing in your mind the lines of force emanating from words. Going out and looking means lexicography is something of an observational science (N.B.: “something of”).

Yes, it’s delightful to plumb the depths of something like the OED. But obsolete or antiquated meanings of words are not necessarily somehow latent in the words as used presently. Language changes; meanings change.

You see the same issue more often with etymologies. Some people seem to think that etymology necessarily sheds light on how the word is used today. Like you’re supposed to go “ah-ha!” when someone shows you the meanings of root words or something. Etymology, too, is delightful to play with, but it, too, has a more rigorous face. But thinking you’ve discovered something deep about the present use of a word because you’ve run across a peculiar or otherwise interesting etymology just reveals a basic misunderstanding of what an etymology is for.

All that said, as a somewhat hyperverbal person myself, I completely understand and appreciate the real delight you can experience in word exploration and wordplay. So I throw no shade at it. But the idea that “you are using the wrong dictionary” or even “using the dictionary wrong” because you are looking for the basic descriptive fact(s) about word usage in the present is asinine. From it wafts the odor of one who spends too much time smelling their own farts.
What's the actual harm in that though? English is a living language, and as such, meanings change over time.
I don't get the impression that this was written with everyman in mind. The "someone new" won't understand the plausibility therein; better to appeal to the influencers that do.
No, they should have definitely thrown away their entire codebase and embarked on a serious migration project to proven industrial-grade solutions like Zig or Nim.

I am already using a non-cryptographic hasher. In fact, I am not doing any hashing at all, I am just assuming that the input is already random enough, and use a Hasher that just copies the input to output. But I still didn't measure the performance of that, so that may be something silly to do.

Asking ChatGPT/claude2 about a sentence/paragraph, with context like purpose of document (including non-fiction topic or fictional genre) has worked out really well for me.

What I'd really like to do is have a standard "spell/grammar/plothole/tone/etc." critique prompt and have google docs start me from the top and roll down the entire document so we work on one sentence/paragraph at a time and see if I agree with anything pointed out or suggested. Right now there's a lot of copying/pasting, contextless critiquing, but at least claude will be able to read my full document for full context.

> Very large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunication technologies. The microprocessor and memory chips are VLSI devices.

> Before the introduction of VLSI technology, most ICs had a limited set of functions they could perform. An electronic circuit might consist of a CPU, ROM, RAM and other glue logic. VLSI enables IC designers to add all of these into one chip.

I also have the subscription with all of their products, it actually gets cheaper in the 2nd and 3rd year: https://www.jetbrains.com/store/#personal

I hate the fact that I'm paying for development tools (feels wrong somehow), but love the tools themselves: the search, autocomplete, suggestions, refactoring, framework integrations and run profiles, alongside other things are all great.

Plus, they support most of the languages I want to use, even database stuff, except I still think that EER in MySQL Workbench were done better than anything similar in DataGrip or even what pgAdmin has, though that's a niche workflow.

Pretty much everything aside from memory usage and performance during projects being indexed is good, those are unpleasant. Oh and maybe the fact that their Fleet editor (a bit like VSC) feels a bit early in development sometimes, but that's besides the point.

Their products are probably worth a look if you like IDEs and GUI, though you won't see much use if you prefer mostly text editors (even with plugins).

And `\operator{name}` if `name` isn't already a defined operator macro.

if a thing can be done better and make our lives easier, yes, i absolutely think the government should.

if we’re going to pay either way, through taxes or pay a corporation, i want whichever will make our lives better, i don’t particularly care which i pay.

while i’m definitely skeptical of government, i’m absolutely just as skeptical of industry, billionaires, and corporations.

in many instances where corporations have repeatedly proven their unwillingness to do something or repeatedly misled/broke our trust (eg, data abuse) or repeatedly failed to even do the thing, im completely and absolutely on board with just doing it ourselves (government).
Ugh yes! Don't know why I always get that wrong!

I was referring to the simplistic and well-known way of accessing data from a dictionary, such getting the value for a specific key or even iterating the keys & values of a dictionary. There's also quite simple to merge several dictionaries, or even pick/omit to only work with the data that is actually needed in the actual context. What's your thoughts about that?

Better infrastructure, in some parts of the country are needed, a lot (1)! There's also a lot of merchants of some parts of India that do not accept UPI-Payments (2) and so if these were fixed - we will have an in-destructible financial service, at the hands of each and every person.

1 - In many cases for my Dad, it had failed due to poor internet in the area.

2 - I heard from an article that a lot of merchants in Mumbai do not accept them.
In what way does clion not support cmake? I started a new project yesterday, added a new C++ class & it automatically added it to the CMakelists.
It’s just a rough guess based on the redundancy in that image (limited range of colors, no hard edges). Lossless compression ratios can vary wildly depending on image contents.
