When I saw this documentary about 15 years ago it was pretty depressing. Now electric cars are everywhere and we can laugh at GM’s mismanagement.

One point that a lot of those "actually, just use Go" articles fail to recognize is that there is a sizable amount of developers who simply dislike programming in Go.

Despite its impressive compilation speed and bundled tooling and whatnot, some (myself included) find it tedious and uninteresting to program in Go, with tons of repetition and verboseness. Some people are more utilitarian and don't mind, but not all think the same.
Warning: rant about brands

The sadistic think about brands is that people are paying for marketing team to continue to lie to them and brainwash them, to convince them to continue buying their products!

Media is full of brands - gosh I wonder how they have all that budget for expensive marketing campaigns !

It's so incredibly hard to wean someone off brands. I've been campaigning my family for years, but they still seem allergic to Aldi/Lidl etc.

Take cereal (eww):

Aldi Corn Flakes (500g) - £0.75 ($0.93)

Kellogs Cornflakes (500g) - £2.25 ($2.79)

3x more expensive! THREE. (some people might be thinking that $2.79 is nothing but just think in relative terms)

Yes Kellogs Cornflakes taste a bit nicer but that's not the comparison to make: a small serving of oats with some fruit is a MUCH better breakfast meal. Oats are roughly same amount of calories per gram but much more filling and less sugar, salt, fat etc and double the protein. But we're all addicted to cereal because the adverts brainwashed our parents in to thinking it's a healthy meal to have in the morning.

(EDIT: oops guess I'm a hypocrite) And has anyone tasted a McVities Digestive biscuit recently? (similar to a graham cracker, a distant relative of the shortbread - very very popular in the UK)? Absolutely vile. If you're still buying them you're literally an idiot and COVID must have destroyed your taste buds. Aldi own brand digestives taste like the old recipe of McVities Digestives at 1/3 of the price!
I've seen a scientific researcher do literature review manually.
Search, refine, print, read, highlight, collate.

Lots of time can be saved by automating those steps (and many researchers don't enjoy it so their job satisfaction could be increased). Also the resulting output could be improved if the researcher had a well structured summary to use as the foundation of their outline.

Improve search with semantic search (search by concept not keyword)
Improve refinement by preprocessing and summarizing
Don't print, display clean and concise data.
Summarize, cite and display.

This stops short of literature based discovery, you have to bring your own research question.

We've also had some luck finding a gap in existing research.
We did a POC where we scraped pubmed and graphed study results by concept. We then used the graphed concepts to explore the conceptual space.

It seems that vitamin D protects against cancer and heart disease. It seems that vitamin D supplementation protects against cancer but not heart disease. Is this because of some previously unknown effect of sun exposure (the primary natural source of vitamin D) or is it just that people with adequate vitamin D go outside a lot more and therefore also get more exercise? Don't know, would love to read the paper if someone studies it ;- )
Genuine question, how is Unreal's support for:

- Tilemaps generally

- Tilemap with rule-based brushes

- "Sprite shapes" basically free-form 2D polygon sprite created via a shape editor

- 2D collision with polygon colliders (bonus points if the two can work in tandem)

- 2D lighting

- Snapping things to a grid? Like moving props in a scene on a grid. Or editing a shape to snap to a grid?

I don’t get it, would people rather pay higher prices up front?

A lot of times people don’t even use the entirety of a product they pay for. Shrinkflation can essentially just cut that part out. Even if you eat 100% of something, your brain was probably satiated after eating 80%, the rest is excess.

For stuff like candy you won’t notice a missing gummy bear or two. You’ll get the same satisfaction.

> I think you’re being kind of dim if you think that the digital nature of film has any relevance to physical distribution vs. digital streaming distribution tbh.

Now you're just being an asshole. You were the one that started this conversation by positing that the digital nature of the media meant that physical locations were irrelevant. I was simply pointing out that the current reality already proves you wrong.

And since you didn't see fit to answer my question about what contracts and "regulation" compel studios to release today's movies to theaters first -- and yet they continue to do so -- means this conversation isn't likely going to get any more productive than it already has.

Let's agree to disagree. The future will unfold for us both to witness.

> You vote for consensus rules with your node.

That's incorrect. Non-mining nodes are passive, they do not cast votes.

> A chain with more proof of work, but that is violating the rules that nodes have formed consensus on, is ignored.

That is correct. Non-mining nodes are programmed to reject invalid blocks... or they can accept them if they want. It's of no importance because what they do has no influence on the rest of the network.

CCPA already requires Google to delete your data on request. Though AFAIK CCPA didn't produce any changes as Google already allowed you to do that.

The same applies to any non-small business that you have a direct relationship with and provide your information to; CCPA requires that business to delete the info if you request it.

Data brokers are a special case because they don't get their information directly from you, instead they slurp up whatever public and private data they can scrape or buy, and then resell that to other companies. Given you don't have a direct relationship with the data brokers, it's hard to even figure out who has your information.

Note, CCPA seems to have excluded the credit bureaus from designation as data brokers, even though those guys are responsible for leaking SSN and full personal information on the majority of US citizens.

The US system of credit surveillance is pretty unusual (EU countries don't do anywhere near that much stalking and they have functioning debt markets) so I'd love to learn what would actually break if people were allowed to opt out of that tracking. Presumably there are some government records you can't opt out of like UCC filings and bankruptcy, and any potential creditor could just look up the primary sources themselves.
To some extent I think that was always an early aim of Creative Commons. I don't think Creative Commons ever saw their job as being a charity owner of IP, but they certainly tried their best to provide as many tools as possible to liberate IP and patents to either copyleft or the public domain (CC0) as they could.

I could certainly imagine an alternate future that if CC got enough donations to back a big enough budget they could help pay for lawyers to full time help creators claw back IPs from major corporations with the hopes to CC or CC0 license the rights that they win back. I also imagine that would cost a lot of money and that hypothetical arm of CC would need a huge budget to win the legal fights it would want to take on.
Pretty much every company, and many homes run vpns. I guess those should also be added to the list.
There's also the gitea fork https://forgejo.org/ to consider if the reasons for the fork (FAQ) speak to you.

Now I don't think this is a good idea, but since you specifically said as lightweight as possible I just wanted to mention it-

Running just git on an ssh accesible user is absolutely the most lightweight possible solution. You just need git and ssh, that's it. It's compatible with every normal git client, and does all the normal git stuff. This is how I manage my smaller personal projects (running on a raspberry pi), and it works fine for a single person.

There's no CI/CD. No Pull Requests, no web GUI, none of the niceties of any of the options mentioned here.

However if it's really very lightly used, and by technically inclined people, it may be an option.

e: I stand corrected, there is apparently a web UI!
> Unpleasant – refers to the physical condition of the book, may require replacement.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts the vast majority of "librarians" are applying this to the content and not the condition.

And that seems very likely to me as a deliberate ambiguity in this stupid acronym.
I personally don't see the point of CLI videos like asciinema, just let me scroll through the damn CLI history.
Well, which chain is the fork? Who's rules are you using as the arbiter? What kind of node you run and what it outputs has a direct effect on what is perceived as being "Bitcoin", as opposed to "a fork of Bitcoin". Humans are the final arbiter of which one is the fork, whether it's by the nodes they run or by the code they decide to merge into the core repo (sometimes after much very political deliberation).

this happens while us security folks are trying to kill HTML email format ... for security reason.

Even Apple is nixing HTML in iMessaging.

But please, do continue.
As you say, the power to pick electors is a matter delegated to state legislatures. Trump's efforts, as president, to replace those legally-selected electors with electors of his own choosing is, ipso facto, unconstitutional.

If he had perhaps sought to convince those state legislatures to change their electoral process to favor him, that could have been constitutional. But the actions he undertook in his role as the head of the federal executive branch is clearly and egregiously in violation of the constitutional delegation of authority to state legislatures. Just because state law could be changed doesn't mean that the law was changed.

And that is why he stands indicted for election interference in Georgia, it's why I hope he'll be indicted in other states, and why I hope he'll be in state penitentiary before January 2025. Because he's a criminal who has zero respect for the constitution. He even said it:

> Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

He literally called for the termination of the constitution, and you're here saying that we really need to be focused on how an inscrutable segment of "far left voters" might possibly dislike the constitution even though you have no evidence to show on that?
These appear to be exclusively the modem, whereas OP was talking about the System-on-Chip with an integrated modem packaged by Qualcomm.
I'm actually realizing - you can simply have a case where if a white/black pawn is on the 4th/5th rank, have the next bit be a flag for en passant. This makes all en passant rules stored in 8 bits at max. Since only 1 pawn can be in a status of "en passantable" at a time, we can make it stop assigning a flag bit for future pawns if the answer is ever "yes".

Okay then show the proof?

Or at least type out the quoted sentences that you remember with 'edgy' and 'pathetic'? And then any passing reader can email dang to confirm if that's in a past comment revision, like you said?

If your unwilling to put in that basic effort after making such an accusation, then it seems self-defeating, plus no one would trust it.

I do sometimes use 'edgy', so maybe that is possible, but I really don't think I've ever called anyone 'pathetic', so this seems like a lame accusation.

(As a sidenote I don't even remember for my own comments made 48 hours ago how I edited them or what words changed after, so it's pretty astonishing that another user is keeping track.)
Some CEOs work far less, which you can tell because they’re tweeting all the time.
This only works if the "competition" is willing to sell to you (like Apple or Samsung won't) or is roughly on-par with Qualcomm's performance and power consumption (which MediaTek absolutely is not). Otherwise your billion dollar company gets laughed out of the room.

That can't work. However X and Meta seem to be rolling down ways to authenticate people.

Instead of banning VPNs, they should find ways for people to identify themselves if they want to.

It's not because someone is behind a VPN that they should automatically be considered a pariah of the net. There are plenty legitimate reasons to stay behind a VPN.

That smells a bit autoritarian.
Aren't specialized lexer/parsers finite state machines? As are encoder/decoders?

OK fir complex computation, I left the world of mathematics 7 years ago, and I wasn't at the edge on that, I trust you, but to be clear, all your examples scream 'FSM' to me. If you have a pattern matching routine of 50+ lines that isn't a finite state machine, you're doing something wrong imho, and should consider changing abstraction (I'm not a big OO guy, but maybe use dynamic dispatch?)
I am not sure how to read your comment. Did you mean to imply that people coming into his history class are stupid for thinking that their only experiences with certain items (swords, armor, &c.) have some grounding in reality, or did you mean to imply that people actually go into physics 101 thinking that Wile E.

so you're saying that there are more bitcoin that there are bitcoin addresses/wallets???

(more precisely you might be saying how it happens that which I'm asking if that's what you're saying happens.... I mean I'm asking my question because I'm a bit confounded)
It's more precise than that. Pro-choice/climate being bundled together is just the ordinary left/right (or non-left) divide, nothing special there. Progressives see motherhood as conservative-coded and anti-feminist, so control over that to be progress, they also assume anything academics say must be true because they're fellow progressives and "scientists" who thus personify Progress itself.

But the people talking about religion mean something more than just an arbitrary ideological package, they mean it has specific elements that are surprisingly close to the beliefs found in Christianity, rebranded. Like the elements in my list.

I’ve previously worked on an assisted living smart home system, it was basically independent living apartments used in the final months of recovery following a major physical trauma.

The most useful and elegant measure ended up being a sensor that notified when they got out of bed.

While there’s lots of ways to track both crisis events (emergency buttons, call detection watches etc) and on-demand surveillance, many don’t provide very good day on day metrics.

There’s lots more that can be tracked but for passive notifications, knowing they got up each day, and if this started changing, is a really elegant basic measure.
For my chess tactics trainer at https://www.checkmatechamp.net/ , I tried a lot of different techniques to compress a small set of positions (about 800).
I was not concerned with storing the positions in a fixed size, so I was mainly trying things that would make the entropy of each compressed position smaller. I eventually fit these into a file that is about 14 KB in size when gzipped. Each position takes about 17.5 bytes, excluding the HTTP headers. If you go to the page and scroll through the positions, you'll see that each position loads instantly. That's because all the positions are in that 14 KB file which is loaded initially. I didn't include the castling or en passant info in that file, but I suspect it wouldn't add more than one byte per position on average.

I only considered techniques that would not cause the decoder to become overly complicated. One "non-standard" technique that I used was inverting the color of all the pieces on one side of the board. Specifically, on the lower half of the board, I change all the white pieces to black and vice versa. This greatly lowers the average entropy of a typical position, since for most of the game, each player keeps most of his pieces on his side of the board. It is also easy to handle in the decoder in one line (if row < 4, then piece = -piece).

I have meaning to write a blog post about it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. If you are interested in hearing more, let me know, and I will move it up my to-do list.

And, According the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you have a much higher likelihood of contracting the disease from eating raw meat or from gardening.

But I guess you don't do much of either.

The thing is, like everyone of us, you'll die someday, you'll get sick, probably even very sick as you age. You can't cheat death, disease and suffering for ever. You can do the reasonable stuff to take care of you, avoiding really stupid stuff like DUI, hard drugs, cigarretes, excessive drinking, too much sugar, but you need to understand that this only goes so far, and that in average, it is not liking you are going to double your lifespan if you became completely anal about preventing risk. Sooner or later, no much how paranoid you are your cellular machinery will star failing, and no, you won't be able to upload your life to the cloud and live forever in the metaverse as much as your average incult billionaire tech bro believes.

And when this day comes, the question that really matters is not if you are going to die soon, but wether you have ever lived.

Now, you are free, and if you want to live in a super-afraid-karen modem the rest of your life, none of our business. But don't force an animal to share your miserable outlook of life. If you are so worried about the cat bringing those dangerous germs to your house, nobody is forcing you to have a cat.
The problem with armor class is that it sort of blends in two concepts of completely missing an attack, and the attack simply not doing any damage.

Generally I've had DM's that understand your characters AC: if you have high AC because you're quick and nimble, it would be some sort of dodge, but if you have high AC because you're huge and wear plate armor, the attack "miss" is treated as if an arrow simply bounced off your armor.

But yeah, the system is generally broken. That's sort of why the devs of Baldurs Gate 3 had to homebrew a lot of fixes, and in general just gave up on a lot of mechanics and can't really implement anything past level 12.
