It was easy to do in Win95 through to Win2k because the interface was consistent throughout. Then they started changing the interface guidelines, and toolkit, for every major release of windows; and sometimes several times during the life of a major release.

Google helped craft these laws. This is classic regulatory capture.

In particular, it is banning horizontally integrated surveillance capitalism (which requires the sale of data between the data gathering companies and the people using it), but not vertically integrated surveillance capitalism.

In all likelihood, some companies in this ecosystem will be forced to sell at fire sales to conglomerates (like Google) simply to avoid having to comply with this law. Of course, this benefits organizations that are large enough to acquire the companies, and no one else.

So, people with financial conflicts of interest are picking winners and losers, which is pretty much standard practice in US politics these days.

I personally think this whole consumer tracking industry should be shut down. It should be illegal to gather the types of information that this bill regulates.
By points

1. Beancount via org-mode notes, org-babel for transactions, bean queries from the org mode file for reporting, non perfect, a new thing, in the past I've used GNU Cash but I prefer to put anything in org so...

2-5. equally in org-mode org roam managed notes, non textual stuff as org-attachments linked directly in notes or indirectly "elisp:(start-process-shell-command" alike to run different stuff than mere opening.

I have to retain something for fiscal reasons, something for personal reasons and something are extras. It's not that perfectly crafted, but accessing anything by titles (org-roam-node-find) is like having anything in a graph, accessed via comfy search&narrow. When titles fails consult-rg on the org-mode root (~/notes) does the rest.

I've tries org-ql, to query notes for certain infos like "active contracts I have", but even with templating (yasnippet) it's not that immediate, I have some queries and templates but I do not really use if not very rarely. I've try LLama (Khoj) on my notes but well, results are very bad compared to direct textual mach access. So, yes, I have some clutter, I do not see it much, it does not consume significant amount of storage nor pollute my searches so... It's manageable, rarely I found something is the clutter, so it's not totally useless anyway. I am able to find anything noted so far, of course I do not log my life completely so sometimes I'm looking for things I do not have, that's rare but happen. In this cases the answer is "it depend".

I choose to live digitally in Emacs mostly because of integration: I have mails, todos, notes, anything in the same place/tool/model/paradigm like my mind is one for all.

Downsides: it's a personal thing, not really usable by other family members, not designed for collaborative works, it's possible works together but only as ISOLATED individual, all on their own desktop, possibly Emacs but not necessarily and definitively not "the same Emacs" sharing steps/results by various means like patches via mail, direct textual mails "I found this and that, I conclude that" etc.

It is more complicated than that. It is both legal AND illegal in the US:

> Under United States federal law, making a backup copy of a DVD-Video or an audio CD by a consumer is legal under fair use protection. However, this provision of United States law conflicts with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibition of so-called "circumvention measures" of copy protections.

.

> In the 2004 "321" case, Federal District Judge Susan Illston of the Northern District of California, ruled that the backup copies made with software such as DVD Decrypter are legal but that distribution of the software used to make them is illegal.

Further problem though:

> In 2010, the Librarian of Congress instituted a DMCA exemption which protects circumvention of CSS protection under certain circumstances. This exemption expired in 2013.

Therefore, it seems to be a "case by case" basis type situation currently.
Use the Desktop app or mobile app. Chrome/edge don't support the codecs needed, and jellyfin transcodes. The desktop app is chromium, but with the right video codecs enabled, on it. It's pretty nice.
Geekbench is not so bad, like Passmark or those SEO spam benchmark sites you see on Google.

But the best benchmark is always the apps you are CPU constrained in.

I've recently come around after being a dedicated anti-emoji grouch for years, and reading about them has taught me a lot about the Unicode standard.

The little pictograms of animals and objects are great, and it's fascinating to watch them evolve into an ad-hoc ideographic language in real time.

I still can't tell apart all the little faces though, and I never have any idea what they're supposed to mean. I wish it were standard to display the name as a tooltip / long-press.

The "chip rate" of GPS L1 C/A (the main one) is 1023 kchips/sec. So you end up with a signal that is over 1 MHz wide to encode 50 bits/sec. Nyquist-Shannon theorem says* you thus need over 1 Msamp/sec (using complex numbers), probably more like 2 Msps because of Doppler, to capture that. GPS is pretty forgiving and 4 bits/sample is plenty (2 bits is usable), but that would still be 1 MB/s of high entropy data. Note the system linked in the parent comment only records in 12 ms bursts. That captures enough info to find position offline, but only if you add in the historical orbit information that normally takes 30 sec to download off of the GPS signal. Streaming 1 MBps of data is doable, but I think would draw much more power than solving on device. Just recording to an SD card is far less.

* The Nyquist-Shannon theorem actually says the converse, but for anything you'll encounter outside the recesses of a math department, it's still the optimal solution.
I'm sure it's fine once you learn it all, and I'd probably be able to pick it up quicker now since I have a decade more of experience, but my difficulties with it was not for lack of trying on my end. I found a lot of the terminology difficult to work with, and it felt like doing anything required me to touch a million files across a thousand folders.

There's really no need to bet. It was a blackberry clone and then pivoted the moment the iPhone was announced. The early Android SDK still had affordances for navigating around the UI using joystick style buttons to select UI elements and physical keyboard use. Apple moved the state of the art to touchscreens with little to no physical controls and Google followed.

Cats should not be left to roam freely in cities. They would catch and spread incurable parasites (including to humans), and they would be exposed to various other dangers, such as getting hit by cars or attacking or being attacked by other animals. Furthermore, they leave droppings, and other messes, such as the corpses of the animals they kill, and they damage bird populations. Keep housecats indoors, and do not feed feral cats.
The only metric that matters for a game system is whether people enjoy it or not, and by that metric D&D is a massively successful system that's succeeded in table top and video games. Normally people know that it's a game and not real life, it doesn't have to 100% make sense if people are enjoying themselves. Don't be a stick in the mud.
> Godot got really big...

For small values of "big". Here are the "best games made with Godot."[1] All very retro. "99% of Godot games are 2D".

> If you don't go out of your way to look for other options, you will most likely only have heard of Unity and Unreal (or maybe also Godot in recent years). I wonder why that is.

Because the open source 3D game engines are not close to being finished. As someone who's doing something hard with the Rend3/WGPU/egui/Vulkan/Rust stack, I'm painfully aware of this. Discussed a few days ago on HN, so I won't repeat that here.

> Most of these have a shit battery life, shit software and require GPS reception, this one does neither.

Find my cat needs GPS and LTE when outside your home, and has shit battery when using it, just like the commercial offering.

The software is a fairly convoluted stack that you'll have to setup, self-host, and maintain. And that's shit from most people's POV.
So Ive been tugging on this myself. I came up with one heuristic for myself.

If you need to write microservices (especially for control planes where there good concurrency and distributed system patterns needed) - I find Go be a fine combination of performance (GC hit will be there over Rust), ease of deployment, programming model (CSP) - at a slight expense on verbosity (say compared to python and you also get used to this with your patterns).

If you need high perf/low latency/near C (embedded systems level) performance - with a type system assisted memory management - then Rust.

I have found Go's stdlib to be pretty thorough (and the ecosystem to be awesome too). Yes you will always find that set of X things hard to find that others dont care about. But horses for courses.

I have invested in learning both (but I also find learning languages a joy). But if you absolutely only have time for one consider your use case and pick appropriately. Yes you can do Rust for services too but given all this dual asyn model discussion still ongoing and a lot of real world services/control planes in Go there are already good Go patterns you can leverage right away at a much lower learning curve.
There's no reason you have to treat a failed attack roll as a miss instead of a hit that does no damage.
Honestly? Though I am forced to write go at work, I take Rust in a heartbeat(and it is a constant moaning from my end to ditch go and use Rust all the way almost every day). First thing to keep in mind is that Rust today is nothing like the Rust of 2015, even 2020. Way too many things are wrong with go: The packaging is one thing which I absolutely hate. I can't find words to express how much I hate the import "github.com/whatever" and that is a clear indication of the fact that packaging is an afterthought, which historically was a problem the language designers chose to ignore and kick the bucket down the road, hoping the community figures it out. Another clear indication of this is everything around the environmental variable hell: GOROOT, GOPATH and all that. Error handling is another horrible thing: ok, err := whatever() is absolutely wretched, even more so when you have to write the function definitions. Even when all linters are happy with the code, I can't look at it without thinking "this looks as beautiful and idiomatic as a roadkill". While coroutines(I hate the name goroutines) are cheap, they are not a universal solution to all problems and with that in mind, having a compiled language with no actual threading is ridiculous: threads are a great thing to have(I know this goes much deeper but let's not turn this into a novel). While both languages don't have inheritance, at least with Rust you have some tools to help you generalize basic things: macros. The statement that golang has all you need in it's standard library is a complete joke. While the ecosystem has grown immensely over the years, I feel like it's reaching the point where it's comparable to the npm hellhole.

With Rust you get a perfectly thought out packaging. You also get the best of both worlds - runtimes and threads. By design you are pushed hard to properly handle errors. Some of my large Rust projects take forever to compile, I'll give you that, but there is a good reason for it. The compiler is actually helpful and in a lot of the cases it tells you exactly what you need to fix when you mess up. And don't even get me started on performance. I have the exact same microservice implemented in both go and rust. And while I did not opt for the most performant rust web framework (poem), it's not even a race, it's a straight up massacre: when I benchmark the two with wrk, the difference in performance is literally 11 times - same database, same openapi specification, same logic. While the Rust standard library lacks a lot of things, even some basic functionalities, cargo takes care of it for you with 0 effort: cargo new whatever, echo 'rand = "0.8.4"' >> whatever/Cargo.toml and you are done.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a "bash-golang" comment. But I can't deny that when I put the two side by side, go looks like a toy language.
I think you’ll find that if you plot the mines gold versus available gold you’ll see that the percent of new gold introduced is asymptotic.

It’s true that he doubled down, but I also suspect he anticipated what actually happened, which was that the price of bitcoin spurred custom hardware, which ramped up the capacity to mine coins past what Moore’s Law would have predicted. It also ruined PC gaming for the lower- and middle-middle class for a few years.

Whether that’s prescient or just an artifact of a logarithmic drop off in the available key space is anyone’s guess. I don’t fix problems I don’t see as problems that often, and most of my peers are even worse.
Where are the new Ford, GM, and Chrysler sedans to be found anywhere? Outcompeted. What was the best selling SUV in the US? Model Y.

Specular higlights are view dependent and the specular higlights seem to react properly when tumbling the virtual camera. It seems reasonable that it would be possible to do a reverse calculation to determine the location and intensity of light sources in a scanned scene. Once those are determined, they can be extracted from the scene and made global light objects in a scene in a DCC app or game engine. More than likely it would just be baked as one big IBL dome light.

I could be wrong about all of that though.
> What you're doing by breaking things into functions is trying to prevent it's eventual growth into a bug infested behemoth

Not every piece of code grows into a bug-infested behemoth. A lot of code doesn't grow for years. We're biased to think that every piece of code needs to "scale", but the reality is that most of it doesn't.

Instead of trying to fix issues in advance you should build a culture where issues are identified and fixed as they come up.

This piece of code will be a pain to maintain when the team gets bigger? So fix it when it actually gets bigger. Create space for engineers to talk about their pains and give them time to address those. Don't assume you know all their future pains and fix them in advance.

> In my experience, nearly every case where an area of a code base has become unmaintainable - it generally originates in a large, stateful piece of code that started in this fashion

In my experience it gets even worse with tons of prematurely-abstracted functions. Identifying and fixing large blocks of code that are hard to maintain is way easier that identifying and fixing premature abstractions. If you have to choose between the two (and you typically do), you should always choose large blocks of code.

The great thing about big blocks of code is that their flaws are so obvious. Which means they are easy to fix when the time comes. The skill every team desperately needs is identifying when the time comes, not writing code that scales from scratch (which is simply impossible).

Remember that in this global power model, everyone is either under US, EU, Russian, or Chinese influence (and maybe a couple smaller players).

Yeah and it’s still not very useful for certain things. Like I was shopping for toilet paper the other day. The prices seemed outrageous but trying to compare price per square foot is meaningless when some paper is thick, some extra soft, some 1ply, etc. I like the price per weight unit, without packaging to compare not across products, but for the same product over time.
I'm going to make a horrifying admission: I still game and run Hero System, a classless, point-buy, effects-based system dating back to the late 1980s' Champions.

The thing that always brings me back to Hero - aside from the infinite flexibility - is the fact that the mechanics separate Accuracy and Penetration. DND in all its incarnations always bugged the hell out of me because of how - *HOW* - a piece of steel means I SOMEHOW MISSED. In Hero, and in all "Armor as Soak" system mechanics, you hit, then the effect has to penetrate.

Good Lord why is this so hard to find in an RPG system.

Anyways, over the . . decades . . I've formulated a bucket list of extreme streamlining for Hero, since newer players aren't super keen on all the "math"[1]. And also, honestly, some of the mechanics beg for streamlining[2]. But Hero Lite, as I've been calling it, has been pretty damn sweet, even if my wife sometimes calls it a "simulator for bleeding to death". So, like real life, then.

And the players just need to track their STRONG (STR/BODY), STAMINA (END/STUN), and how many ACTIONS they got left. We use poker chips. Also sometimes someone's foot gets blown off. I have index cards for that, and also for stuff like "Grenades You Brewed Up in the Pool Supply Store".

Anyway, need to get ready for tonight's Star Wars HERO game. Far more important than mechanics is story, character, and tone. And yknow, everyone has fun, that's all that matters.

[1] For pete's sake it's not a lot of math. It's arithmetic with fractions. Is that hard?

[2] STUN and ENDURANCE have no business being two different attributes. Just use STUN, halve ENDURANCE costs, and call the stat STAMINA.

These methods learn directly the radiance, in a way which is not lighting dependent. Therefore they would render the same and shadows are not taken into account. Current methods aren’t able to do this, but maybe some day we might discover methods which could infer and take into account some lighting parameters.
