Heck, the next big revolution will probably be solar + agriculture dual land use, since you don't need all the sun's energy for plant growth during the day. It might even lead to higher yields because the solar panels might integrate led lighting for growing in the night.
That sounds like a bubble then
Due to $WORK factors, I have to write Flask, and I hate every second of it. So many things which come for free from Django require a partially supported plugin with so-so documentation.

Could Django do some things better? Sure, but it gets so much right, and has so much community support, it should be the default answer. If you ever get stuck with a problem, thousands of others have faced the same thing. With Flask, owing to your special snowflake configuration of extensions and wiring, you may not find any guidance anywhere.
Dude- I made two comments, the point of which, was that using the word "prejudice" against user "coldpie" was hyperbolic and unfair. How you got from those two comments, neither of which mentioned anything about crypto or blockchain, to all of this, is completely uncomprehensible to me, and I'm guessing most anyone else who reads this far.

History suggests there are two paths; human social norms evolve or an angry mob chanting catechism only they care about starts a war.

The bits about Detroit and Hollywood are easily explained by generational churn of less media savvy, science minded people. Next generations are far more in tune with how the sausage is made; it’s people making biased political decisions. They know there is no divine mandate to preserve old norms.

The minutiae of history is hardly relevant as we have a completely different understanding of what’s possible due to technological advances. Trying to compare agrarian/early industrial culture and modern culture in the early years of tissue and limb regeneration therapy is false equivalence.

All human institutions that have survived are like a Ship of Theseus; everything has been replaced a few times. We just chant a few old sales pitches.
Thanks for the explanatin, I'd never looked into it.

> The apps that do perform operations "as root" do so by spawning a shell process running as root, usually using `su -c`. That's on a rooted device.

So in a scenario like what we're discussing here (a dev deciding to build an uninstaller their own way), on a rooted device (as per the GP's context of "this coming to Linux and Windows"), the app in question could still run as root, and this permission set from Android would solve nothing?

It feels like this is something the browser can solve by working towards these edge cases as bugs to fix. Especially saving the webpage with lazy loading. I've encountered similar issues when using iOS Share menu to convert a webpage to a PDF or Reader PDF, where sometimes you have to scroll the webpage first before it exports correctly. These are bugs that web browsers need to fix. Similarly, there should be some kind of warning or progress bar if you have downloads in progress but want to go to airplane mode. It could be optional, but like when you close your browser and downloads are still running, it could ask if you want to go offline after downloads finish, for example.

I recommend a biography of Musk.

He makes his electric car patents freely available, to advance the transition to electric cars. He started SpaceX with the purpose of making humans a multi-planetary species. He's repeatedly bet his entire fortune on these goals.

He's civic minded where it counts. And he's delivered results.

As for business acumen, he takes financial risks any other businessman would consider to be insane.

Hard to get more civic-minded than that.
Plenty of people are convinced of that - it's pretty much the position the linked post is arguing against, for a reason.
I suspect that this sort of issue is the real reason for making it difficult to not back up secrets to the cloud. On the one hand, you will have some number of people pissed off because they were taken advantage of and they realize that it was enabled by having backups in the cloud. On the other, you have people pissed off because they couldn't manage the final step in keeping their shit secure and are now locked out of something. The number in the latter category is vastly larger than the number in the former.
Then what is needed is somekind of social or economic innovations, not tech. All the techs for sustainable green living are there already

The rest of the story in this case was that the tenant had also stopped paying, so it was easier to just let the bank deal with the eviction. As for why worry about being underwater - it's because you don't know the time frame of the recovery; the appreciation might have lagged behind the mortgage interest for the life of the loan, as far as anyone could see in the depth of the crash in 2008.
AFAIU this is a discoverability problem, not that emacs isn't featureful ootb. Some of emacs's built-in features (e.g. undo in region) are even not supported at all by other editors.
We have not run microbenchmarks to see what dimension ranges perform best but those are coming soon! Below is an anecdotal answer:

We run our ci/cd benchmarks on 128dim sift vectors. We have some demos using clip embeddings (512dim) and baai/bge 768 dimensional embeddings.

Generally, smaller vectors allow higher throughput and result in smaller indexes. But the effect on performance is small.
Once we merge the PR implementing vector element casts to 1 and 2 byte floats, the effect of this on throughput should be even smaller.
> No, a simple language doesn't have to be inconsistent.

Sorry I meant to say minimal and I was referring to the lack of certain features , not necessarily simple which is something else.

> That's obviously not the case, as can be seen from #a returning 4 after setting a[4] = "w", even though a[2] == nil. There's no simple logic behind the # operator's behavior, it's an unintuitive mess.

Oh, so perhaps it's a combination of being an "unintuitive mess" and/or it's been changed and/or I don't even remember.

Running the code you provided in the Lua online demo (which is lua 5.4.6) yields 3,3,4,4,3 so I guess you were running an older version.

I don't think this is a big problem in practice if you are just aware of this. It's a bit like 1 vs 0 based indexing. It may have been a problem in the beginning but it's been too long since I first started using Lua. And here you'd have a point.

> But why conflate the two? There's no benefit to this, only drawbacks.

I honestly don't know. I'm actually more on your side when it comes to distinguishing arrays and tables. I just don't think it's as big of a deal as you make it out to be.

-

As I alluded to earlier, you can just change Lua to fit your needs. It's meant as a language you embed in your own framework and was never really meant as a fully standalone language as far as I understand. Its position of being standalone is kinda weak in my opinion.

You even mentioned previously that "Lua is supposed to be a scripting language with a REPL" but the REPL included is the bare minimum.

By far my own biggest "complaint" about Lua is that it's dynamic. However Lua with types would be a different language entirely.
> Tell them you need to verify them, and then ask how they propose you do that.

Last time I did that, the caller said "but you can just trust that I'm from <X>." So I replied that they, likewise, could just trust that I'm me, and you could practically hear the light bulb click on. They did their best to help from there but their inbound lines aren't staffed effectively so my patience ran out before I reached an operator.

Enjoy. Personally, I buy tardigrades and algae and a petri dish and look at that. Rotifers are cool too, and both can be collected from the natural environment. But, I also use the same scope to look at PCBs and other small things. After a while I got tired of moving the sample around so I motorized it using CNC technology (g-code, stepper motors, linear stages) and then trained an object detector so the scope can just follow the tardigrade around in an area much larger than its FOV.

if I have seen farther, or closer in this case, then I would like to thank all the giant shoulders upon which I have stood (seriously- look up ernst abbe, he's amazing, he created the 8-hour workday!)

I don't have a problem with paying for software I use and like if the price and their terms are reasonable, which Sublime mostly is.

However, my personal issue with Sublime is the fact some basic requested editor functionality hasn't been implemented in years. You can see multiple such issues opened against it.

And I'm not talking about IDE-like stuff, just basic editor features, like having multiple rows of tabs when you have many files open.

Normally we downweight follow-ups but this is too good. Even the parentheticals are good ("the only thing ever recorded spoken by him [in Parliament] is a request to close the window)".
As a paid license Sublime user, years back, my biggest annoyance with VSCode was that regex pattern matching hit a limit to the matches it could find. At the time I believe it was around 1k, from some quick Google searching it looks like they may have increased the limit to 10k, which would have been right on the cusp of my use case at the time.

I could see giving VSCode another go in the future, but it's the 'if it aint broke' adage at this point.
I know, but windows 3.1 looked like windows 3.1. Windows 98 at least looks reasonably modern, like system 7.5+ or system 8 level fit and finish or whatever. Windows 2000 definitely is 90% of the way there in terms of UX. Windows XP really looks more or less like windows 10 if you apply classicshell and turn off the theme, or whatever.

one of those is 64mb to run really nicely, one is 256mb at the start and probably 2GB+ by the end, and the last one is like, you really probably want at least 16, 8 is getting to be a scant spec choice even today. Going for 2x32gb is less than $100 now! (good time to buy, flash and DRAM are glutted and this won't last forever)

NT was solid enough as a UI (although iirc NT 3.5 was sort of "3.11 and a half") but by NT 4 and win2000 it had pretty much emerged into the modern UX. And Win2000 still ran on peanuts by modern standards. I never used NT but my dad generally thought highly of it afaik.

I suppose there's an interesting parallel between macos trying to shed cooperative multitaking (and the legacy of the pre-32 bit ROM) with windows 6/7 and windows finally maturing in the 3.1-95 and NT-win2000 era with shedding the legacy of DOS and the low-level x86 poking. OSs seemed to hit a point in that era where it was no longer tolerable to support their legacy shit forever from the hobby-hardware era.

The language specific ones also tend to directly model a project according to the structure of the language's projects.

I use Intellij Ultimate on a Python codebase and it can rather annoying on the odd occasion to get the project loaded up right compared to PyCharm. I get there in the end, but it can get fiddly.

But I'll point out the multi-IDE licence from JetBrains doesn't cost much more than an Ultimate licence, well worth going for of you're a routine polyglot programmer.

If you have a free game with upsells or paid DLC - not an uncommon model now as a way to get people in the door - the new pricing model is toxic because every user in the door costs you money. If before you were okay with only 5% of your players giving you money, that's not okay anymore - now you have to aggressively upsell, shove ads in there, do ANYTHING you can to get average revenue per user to far above 20 cents so you can afford to pay the Unity Tax in addition to the other taxes you already have to pay (Valve/Apple/Google's 30%, your actual taxes, etc.)

With the model I described you could easily bring in 200k worth of revenue off DLC but then owe a significant % of that in install fees if you're only managing to sell DLC to say 10% of your players.

Unreal-style revshare where you just give them a small % is super reasonable in comparison. It just works and you decide whether the percentage is acceptable.

So:
developers can't change the way society has chosen to prioritize infrastructure, Poor user experience is the result of this societal failure, thus there is nothing that can be done to improve user experience?

It seems more likely that the expectation that users must have consistent connectivity to load (and keep loaded) the most fundamental aspects of a website (images and text) is a poor assumption and the hubris to leave this type of assumption unchecked the actual root problem.
I think if you start consider what it does to enthalpy and entropy at the microscale and then consider how to use that to modify dynamics (i.e. reactions in progress) you can start to do some pretty fun things.

Why would anybody post on a forum when you could just write a custom client for Discord from scratch?

Really? I can't say my experience matches that at all. Hell, the developers got both games running on outdated Switch hardware at 60fps, even in handheld mode.

And even then, as far as I know, they're not really simple 2D games, but more of 2.5D. There are 3D background layers and 3D-like lighting and effect calculations, in addition to overall being very visually dense and complex. I certainly can't compare it to fully flat games, like the aforementioned Hollow Knight or Cuphead, etc.
I hope the Bazel plugin works with this. And I hope there is at least one Jetbrains IDE where I can work on C++, Python and Rust at the same time.

The easiest way to fix this would be to say (in an extreme case) trades can only happen on 4 hour boundaries (time to get from the sun to neptune).

So as long as news is released early in the period, then everyone has plenty of time to receive the information. Again assuming you're talking about planetary scale within the same solar system.

If you're talking about within the US or on earth, you simply give a buffer for speed of light to transit across the us and "very sufficient" time for computation/calculation.

There will always be some delta. Ie a company near wall st had 5mins minus 1 millisecond to calculate, while a company in california had 5 mins minus 100 milliseconds to calculate. But if they have 5 mins to digest and calculate the news, the difference those few milliseconds make isn't really important anymore.

Investing should prioritize making the correct decision over making the faster decision. Right now, too much of profit is simply being able to make the faster decision.

It's like playing an RTS against and AI with horrible strategy but has APM through the roof. Yes they're winning, but it's not really interesting or beneficial insights it's providing.

But if you have a strategy that can win with only 10 APM you must've come up with something really deep and insightful about the game.
As somebody with a JetBrains All Products subscription, I do frequently use the language-specific IDE’s because the IntelliJ module system (read: project structure) can be a chore to deal with when I’m just doing something in Python or Javascript. Having a simplified and focused UI layout and assumptions about internal project structure makes less headache.

Additionally, not ALL of the language-specific IDEs have matching plugins for IDEA (or may be missing some features compared to the standalone build); Rider, CLion, GoLand, and now RustRover simply do not have any way to be installed as a plug-in into IDEA.
I suspect people are using it partly to deliver a more regular and visible heartbeat.

Going to a project’s discord that has active messages feels like the thing is alive, and getting engagement from the maintainers or project owners feels more connected than replies in issues.

GitHub issues is mechanically better but is (properly) spare in comparison.

Creating an issue, (which occupies a number that can not be taken back), is heavy compared to a chat message.

Discussions are GH’s answer to this but I think those muddy the waters. Having Discussions enabled on only some repos makes them unreliable. And each repo has different criteria for what should go in a discussion.

As much as I avoid Discord, I don’t think the chat based medium is going away. If anything, I could see GH finding a way to enter that fray.
