Framing is a distinct concern from payload serialization.

Most protocols and serialization formats already define a form of length-prefixed framing; requiring that a protobuf payload also carry such a header would simply be a waste of bytes.

Additionally, it ensures that protobuf can be serialized and streamed without first computing the payload length, which would require serializing the entire message first.

I prefer limiting social media by changing my mindset. I find good things to do and look at, and refuse to be served up by algorithms.

For Facebook, I made my bookmark shortcut lead directly to my own profile/feed. (I have to use it, it's a staple for my business in my country, unfortunately.) I don't watch other feeds, ever. Occasionally I answer messages from friends.

I never got into using twitter, perhaps for the best. I find it hard to invest in platforms that are huge conglomerates of people.

The only "doom-scrolly" thing I have left is reddit. So I've completely curated it with small subreddits highly focused on the skills and interests I want to develop, and things that cheer me up and I want to see. I never look out. It can still be a productivity drain, but it's nice.

People should be more adamant about making technology serve their needs, and customizing it so it does. This should be a mindset foundation.

Perpetual crisis leads to perpetual fear and nothing nudges and controls behaviour better than fear.

Nothing makes people not act in their own best self-interest (e.h., diet and lifestyle) than fear.

Nothing nudges people to forfeit their individuality to a group of overseers (i.e., government) more than fear.

Nothing blinds people to possibilities other than the dysfunctional status quo more than fear.

Nothing servers fear better than more fear.

Not my opinion. This is history's opinion.

> The core problem here is that web application developers don't understand or use database transactions. I've seen this myself at almost every web shop I've ever worked at - queries / updates would be made to the database in series - "fetch this, then update that, then update this other thing". Your code works fine locally, but when multiple sessions interact with that data all at the same time, who knows what will happen.

I mean, you're right, and it's a bugbear of mine, too. But let's not pretend that SELECT FOR UPDATE and out-of-DB manipulation of said data fixes everything. (Nor that a direct UPDATE statement would.)

Ultimately, either your updates are linearisable or they are not. Changing someone's first name with or without this methodology does not alter the fact that "last one to change wins". Which change is the right one is in this case in the eye of the beholder and the domain you work in.

But, yes, updates that build on the existing values to derive new ones are common data races because people, indeed, do not understand databases, transactions or isolation levels. There are easy fixes for this type of problem.

But it's never quite as simple as making everything SERIALIZABLE and FOR UPDATE and expecting that to resolve version conflicts because two different things have different expectations of what a row value should be.

This is really cool!

Honestly, I want to use regular progressive JPEGs for a current project of mine, but it seems that even that doesn't have support in all the tech stacks yet despite how long it's been around for, for example: https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/issues/449

Network effects mean that most internet platforms form natural monopolies, as a hypothetical scenario in which there are dozens of video websites with idiosyncratic communities, rules and technical constraints would add friction that most inhabitants of the current ecosystem would loathe. This arguably makes Youtube more similar to a public transportation service - imagine if New York's MTA having banned Russell Brand from using its services, and your proposed solution were that strong antitrust laws ought to have forced its deconsolidation and return to the '20s setup with the IRT, BRT and IND networks being separate, so a ban from just one of the public transport networks would not be so dramatic to the individual.

More generally, I have to say that this commonly held idea of corporations enjoying First Amendment rights does not strike me as a natural or necessary interpretation of the FA; and moreover, it frequently seems to be invoked so selectively that the same people who consider a gargantuan public corporation's right to deny custom at will to be a "core First Amendment right" simultaneously snicker at the invocation of First Amendment rights for private individuals they are politically or morally opposed to, and consider instances of politically or morally motivated rejection of customers by small and completely fungible privately held businesses to be a civil rights issue that should definitively not be decided on a First Amendment basis.

Some ships are still porting in UA, but not at the level they need. In what ways, and why, would Taiwan be different? We know it will be the opposite of the Cuban missile crisis, where this time it will be the opposite sides enforcing & running the blockade

I would guess that if Xi is willing to go to the blockade level, he's not really concerned about the fallout from it at that point.

I found a great working telephone exchange exhibit at the "Internal Fire Museum of Power" https://www.internalfire.com/. It's mostly a museum of diesel engins, but in a separate building at the back they have a telephone exhibit.

They had several old telephone exchanges connected together so you could place calls between them and also between rooms elsewhere in the museum. The oldest exchange was a manual plug board type, the newest was an Asterisk PBX running on a Raspberry Pi which had an IP desk phone connected to it. It was mostly all connected together, although I didn't get very long to play with it, so I'm not completely sure.

The thing that matters most is having a 120hz screen, and I'd argue that 4k/OLED are equally important.

LG C1 48" is a little big but is what I started with. Excellent picture quality. LG C2 42" or KTC 42 seem to be the best. Don't worry too much about the bells and whistles, fancy buttons, etc.

1) Biological evolution was limited in part since the brain needs to fit into 0.0013 cubic meters and use a maximum of 10-20W. Until recently, for natural selection, keeping within those constraints was much more important than incremental extra intelligence.

2) Evolution is also incremental in a way engineering doesn't need to be.

3) One could argue we're in the middle of the (biological) singularity already. It just depends on timescales we look at. As life, we've developed more technology in the past 200 years than than in the previous 3B years.

Interpolation works better than extrapolation. I don't really think we know what will happen or where we're going. The Bible, Quoran, or Vedas are as good guideposts as our own extrapolations.

If your experience of tofu is only the above, I completely understand your distaste for it. But I think you owe it to yourself to try better tofu, and not as a meat alternative. Tofu on its own doesn't have much flavour, but that's the point, you need to marinate it. Google can give you some tips (squeeze the water out, then soak it in something delicious -- hell, soak it in meat juices!), but I highly recommend trying some good, low moisture smoked firm tofu. It's so good, I often just snack on it, slicing it like a sausage. But it's also great in things like burritos to add a smokey kick. Try it!
Gruber can have his own opinions and I’m happy it makes him happy.

Repairing Demographic Imbalance in Face Datasets with StyleGAN3
The problem isn't with closures, the closure semantics are perfectly fine.

The problem is in the implementation of for-range loops, where the clear expectation is that the loop variable is scoped to each loop iteration, not to the whole loop scope (otherwise said, that the loop variable is re-bound to a new value in each loop iteration). The mental mode approximately everyone has for a loop like this:

for _, v := range values {
//do stuff with v
}

is that it is equivalent to the following loop:

for i := range values {
v := values[i]
//do stuff with v
}

In Go 1.22 and later, that is exactly what the semantics will be.

In Go 1.21 or earlier, the semantics are closer to this (ignoring the empty list case for brevity):

for i := 0, v := values[0]; i < len(values); i++, v=values[i] {
//do stuff with v
}

And note that this mis-design has appeared in virtually every language that has loops and closures, and has been either fixed (C# 5.0, Go 1.22) or it keeps being a footgun that people complain about (Python, Common Lisp, C++).

It helps a lot but rests on the assumption that the people with whom you're pre-registering will check that you did the same thing you claimed you'd do. And also, that they won't tolerate gamed pre-registrations e.g. pre-registrations so vague that they admit many different post-hoc analyses.

Sometimes this is true. One example is when the people verifying the pre-registration work for a regulator. The introduction of pre-registration seems to be at least partly behind the collapse in pharma productivity:

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

17 of 30 studies (57%) published prior to 2000 showed a significant benefit of intervention on the primary outcome in comparison to only 2 among the 25 (8%) trials published after 2000 (χ2=12.2,df= 1, p=0.0005). There has been no change in the proportion of trials that compared treatment to placebo versus active comparator. Industry co-sponsorship was unrelated to the probability of reporting a significant benefit. Pre-registration in clinicaltrials.gov was strongly associated with the trend toward null findings.

But when journals do this the results seem to be worse. They aren't strongly incentivized to improve anything, so you can get studies that claim to be pre-registered but do something different to what the pre-registration said they'd do.
If anything, people hate addicts, even more than gays, so there's a significant portion of the population that celebrates overdose deaths; just like they danced with glee over gays dying of AIDS.

But these days, people are lacing pot with fentanyl, so when Thurston Howell XIV smokes a joint at a Harvard frat party, he might well be dead, by the time he hits the floor.
That's not how this works. Plenty of conspiracies are just that: idiots pretending they have special knowledge or that believe that behind everything that doesn't quite mesh with their worldview there is someone pulling invisible strings. Those people have a mental issue. The big trick is to be able to tell the two apart, not to categorically assume that because some conspiracies that had a whole bunch of evidence to go with them turned out to be true that all conspiracies, even those that have no evidence to go with them are true as well. That's just faulty logic.
> Or BQP is a purely theoretical construct with no real-world counterpart.

I would consider that world shattering. It would suggest significant flaws in our understanding of the universe which would be very exciting.

Honestly i can't think of a more earth shattering discovery. It would be on par with aliens landing and saying we come in peace.

> There’s plenty of math that exists purely in the virtual real with no connection to physical reality.

Obviously.

The earth shattering part is if quantum physics goes from an accurate description of most of the universe to one that isn't.

What you are basically saying is any theory could be wrong. Well duh, but that describes literally all earth shattering scientific discoveries.
Often the most egregious fee is the crap FX rate they give you too - I assume because a lot of people just assume the rate's the rate, so it's completely hidden.

Do you pass on the wholesale rate from your provider directly, or is there some spread too? My bank Monzo for example gives me Mastercard's rate on the day the payment (in-person abroad or online in foreign currency) settles, so I always use it for such transactions even though it wouldn't otherwise be my first choice of card.

(Or alternatively, can I be charged INR to load Cheq account, rather than card's native currency? Then anyone with a better option for the conversion can do that.)

Author of the post here. My first game (No Good Gofers) is relatively simple, but I still haven't gotten to all of the advanced modes on it. More than that, just learning different passes and catches is interesting and challenging enough that I think any halfway decent game would give you a lot of enjoyment. If you get a very complicated Keith Elwin game like Godzilla or Avengers Infinity Quest, you'll probably never get sick of it.

Also worth noting is that games tend to hold their values really well, so you see most people trading/buying/selling regularly. The guy who sold me my Avengers only did it because he had a Godzilla Premium on order and had room for one game.
