Ha, I remember that news item, although from the other end of the world, and not really sure where I read it. The gist was that the first email had been sent to Australia, and I do distinctly remember that Melbourne was the endpoint.
There are copy/paste buttons on Gboard, but they're kind of hidden. Press the 4 squares in the top left of the keyboard and select Text Editing. You get arrow keys, a button for toggling select, and cut/copy/paste. In a way it's like switching out of insert mode in vim.
C++ ABI has some per-thread globals: the number that is returned from std::uncaught_exceptions(), and the chain of currently caught exceptions. For example in llvm this is available with a cxa_get_globals call:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/b05f1d93469fbd6451...

These need to be saved/restored when switching fibers, otherwise fiber switches from catch clauses (and destructors!) are unsafe, throw without argument may rethrow incorrect exception, code that commits/rollbacks based on uncaught exceptions counter will not work correctly, etc.

One example I know where this save/restore is implemented is the userver framework, but it seems to be unexpectedly rare in fiber implementations last time I looked.
In the top-left corner there is a counter with "OSIRIX-REx Landing \n G+x".

Never heard of "G+" time before.
Unfortunately while the thinking is correct, in reality a lot of information is suppressed and censored because it doesn't fit the motives and beliefs of those in control of the platform. It's a little too generalized but I believe the truth does not mind a challenge, but a lie will fight.
Windows uses potentially-ill-formed UTF-16.

No language or environment that uses UTF-16 validates it, ever. Not a single one that I know of. But that doesn’t make it UCS-2, it just makes it potentially-ill-formed UTF-16.

I was going to say: because Falcon 180GB is open source, so you can run it for any purpose, without worrying about license restrictions.

However, it transpires Falcon 180B uses a proprietary license “based upon” the Apache license. Despite Falcon's claims to the contrary, it is not open source.

And that's disappointing because Falcon 40B is actually open source (and Apache licensed).

In this playbook, we'll explore 14 core concepts from behavioral psychology that can elevate your product design and user experience. Learn how cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and social influences shape your customers’ actions. Then leverage these principles to create experiences people love.

Here is a previous poll I conducted

1. Motivation and Ability
Let's start with two key building blocks of behavior - motivation and ability. The Fogg Behavior Model shows that for a behavior to occur, people need sufficient motivation, ability, and a well-timed prompt. As product managers, we can utilize tactics to influence each one.

To increase motivation, apply the principle of operant conditioning. This concept states that behaviors followed by a reward will increase, while behaviors followed by punishment will decrease. Gamification elements like points, badges, and progression bars tap into operant conditioning by providing positive reinforcement.

Variable rewards take this a step further by offering unexpected reinforcement to users. Uncertainty triggers dopamine release and keeps users engaged long-term. Consider ways to surprise and delight customers with unpredictability.
Well, sure. But it’s very hard these days to find torrents without jumping through lots of nasty hoops. Especially now that RARBG has ceased to operate.

The other day I was trying to download Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I went to “1337x” but I just kept getting ads wherever I clicked. Yuck. The whole experience just felt humiliating. In the end I just opened Apple’s “TV” app and bought the movie for $9 instead. Hopefully a (small) portion of that will go to the funding of new great movies. (Well, the odds for that might be high, but one can still dream…)

With that said, if anyone knows of any decent trackers out there, feel free to get in touch. (My e-mail is in my profile.)
Although they used the 'Pocket' brand for the Pocket 3, it is really a GPD MicroPC 2. The original MicroPC was 6 inches and is an even better candidate for "phone sized laptop". The crazy thing is that it's perfectly usable and much more productive than a phone - if it could make phone calls and had the same sensor suite as a smartphone, it would be superior along every axis.
I like the tech punditry on here. Most of it is top notch. The odd bad faith comment appears now and then, but they're typically down-voted and greyed out (yet I still end up reading them because they're sometimes funny).

In terms of sentiment analysis of a 10 year window, I have yet to see someone try and attempt that. It would be a good exercise and would be concrete proof that comments have devolved to a sort of Reddit-esque commenting style.

I think some people truly believe they are 100% correct and anyone who disagrees should be silenced. It is narcissistic thinking that defeats honest debate, or honest communication.
Maybe we just need a speech-to-text interface.

Yeah, especially since COVID that seems to be popular. But, it doesn’t really lessen the workload on the instructor. IMO it would be better to just take the “best hits” video lectures from the last couple years, give those to the students, don’t do lectures at all, and then focus 100% on discussion sections (which really benefit more from the personal touch). But, for some social reason or something, this wouldn’t fulfill student expectations.

There’s no such thing as WTF-16—or if you want to use that label for “potentially-ill-formed UTF-16”, then everything that says it does UTF-16 is actually WTF-16, because no one validates UTF-16.
Can't comment on Java support in Eclipse back then.

VS 6's support of C++ back in 2005 wasn't that great, at leat the way I remember it now.

Code navigation was very primitive, and you were lucky if it didn't consider the code too complex to offer any navigation around it at all.

Its built-in debugger often wouldn't let you inspect a string's content because it was just another pointer from the debugger's perspective.

But VS 6 had a great plugin -- Visual Tomato, if memory serves -- that made things so much better in terms of code navigation/refactoring/etc.

Writing C++ in Eclipse CDT or KDevelop was simply a pain.

Actually, a plain editor with syntax highlight was probably a better option because it was not even pretending to have "smart" features that would inevitably break on each non-trivial piece of code -- better no promises than false promises.

Delphi, and C++ Builder for that matter, were great as a package: fast GUI builder, editor, debugger, etc. That said, I don't remember them offering much in terms of working with code: finding an identifier usages, refactoring, etc.

As to praising JB, it wasn't my intent to single them out, surely there're other great IDEs. Their products is just something I'm personally familiar with. If something better happens to cross my way, I'll have no problems switching.

The moment I opened the article and started reading an idea came to me before reaching the authors solution. Imagine if you could just double tap a word and suddenly it becomes focused and enlargened while slightly blurring the rest of the text. The word in question now has easily targetable tap targets that you can modify quickly, swipe up to delete, rearrange, select etc like a sliding puzzle game. Like everyone I've had the same problem but in a majority of the cases its to fix something that the phone suggested or accidentally added to the directory that I can't easily remove (thanks ios) and nothing overly complex.
BTW, after thinking about that more I'm sure that there isn't anything fundamentally challenging with building more supply.

The highly parts of existing cities are limited, but as history shows - you build new cities. Population has moved from one place to another for centuries and new cities sprang all over the world. If this was done before it should be done now. Overregulation may be the culprit.
Supabase and PostgresML have been introduced in the latest release. At this juncture, they are in a prototype stage, aiming to expand the functionalities' spectrum.

The filesystems is a database for storing files already. There is no particular reason a different approach be faster in principle.
You didn’t really clear things up.
The accessible and compatible Web is alive and well in my little corner of it, where I strive to accommodate each and every user the same way as a five-star hotel would to a top client, and a building architect would for a wheelchair user. I think that this is the only way, and everything else is, to be perfectly honest, just sloppy and lazy. But I tend to visit those parts of the Web less and less as they close themselves off to me.
I also only run short term.
I enable customers with designing and implementing the proper (CEPH e.a.) environment for their workloads.
But I don't run their systems. I always handover to the rest of the technical staff.
Bringing in a cheap SAN basically shifts that responsibility from people like me to the SAN vendor, and they could bring in hardware that might do the job.

Running on K8s, I feel you need two types of storage:
- Block storage, with proper fsync (fast and reliable)
- S3 storage
Both MUST be CloudNative.
I don't know if Cheap SAN is available with proper k8s CSI providers, but if they are, they could be up to the challenge.

Note that people like me can enable customers with both (choosing the proper 'cheap SAN', but also designing a proper storage environment with CEPH or other software storage solutions.
"They’re operating at between a 2-4 process node handicap (depending how one counts) and turning out workable stuff (e.g. Raptor Lake) strictly by competing their butts off on micro architecture and other hard, legitimate stuff. My hat is fucking off to the people turning out product that keeps them in the race with thermal/transistor budgets from like, before COVID."

When they can stop their compiler bullshittery, I might be convinced to think they're actually competing.

> As the OP makes pretty clear, the amplification effect of the internet has made the problem worse than it used to be, so "traveled well before" is misleading at best.

Correct. What about our ability to ruin reputations? Hasn’t that amplified as well via the so-called Streisand effect?

You are advocating for censorship for practical reasons, but it is censorship at the end of the day.

What you’re saying is that it’s hard to battle misinformation, and this is true. What isn’t true is that muzzling misinformation is the only way to combat this problem, even if it seems like the easiest approach.

And if you want accountability, then censorship is the least effective approach in a democratic society; as you’ve hidden away what should be held to account.
I'd be suspicious of any research from BigTech on this - it is in their vested interest to allow and control political discussions on their platform due to the huge influence it gives them in shaping political discourse in any country.
I don’t buy the “it’s easier to do now so the law must change” argument. You actually just admitted that there isn’t anything fundamentally different between a hand drawn depiction and an AI generated one. Both may be tasteless in most situations, but in neither case is there a victim.
For a large majority, this is simply not an option.
It probably comes across as passive aggressive

It's also robbing them of a learning opportunity, and it's creating more work for you.

Mention it on the PR, maybe show an example of how you would write it in a code snippet, and re-review after they've taken a stab at it.
Google Drive is not a CDN.
Just because something is designed for consumption doesn’t mean we should ignore text editing.

The fact that there are other devices that are better at text editing is a horrible reason to leave text editing on mobile devices as a terrible experience.
It is fantastical, and this is by design. I've visited many places described in the Bible; I know it's somewhat grounded in fact. But much like other historical literature, it isn't a completely reliable historical document, especially given that it has been doctored through the ages, such as the Synod of Hippo 'approving' the canon.

But, as I said, I disagree with the notion that it, or any other religious work, is misinformation. It was the 'truth' at the time it was conceived. Other religions existed and continue to exist. Religious dogma isn't necessarily misinformation.

Yeah I agree with this, I don't care to emphasize the Rust thing. I actually had a previous incantation of this project I called 'room' -- but that's too generic.

Also don't care to have 'lambda' in the name, since the point here is this is really a net-new impl of the MOO runtime not derived/forked from the LambdaMOO sources (though compatible, at least to start.)

In fact MOO itself is also not necessarily something to emphasize because because the idea (after 1.0) is to support other language runtimes to run in the same shared persistent authoring environment. MOO support is just the initial 'hook'.

And I wouldn't emphasize the OO thing either. My intent is to explore a more logic/relational oriented model going forward. And "OO" kinda means something different now than it did back then when MOO started before things ossifying into the class-based dispatch model of Java/C++ etc.

It might just be I need something entirely arbitrary and brand-ish.

Naming things is hard.
I wrote a bit about this. After years of having move semantics and borrow checking I don't really agree. I find that GCs are way way harder to reason about. They make it very hard to know when I'm sharing something or not, when something can be mutated, when it will be copied, etc. And then I still have to clean up other resources with a whole other, separate system.

At the end of the day I find languages like Java much harder to reason about and actually a bit harder to write.

Java, C# and the rest of .net, JavaScript, Swift/ObjC.

C/C++ don't have a preference but, for example, if you're writing for Windows, you'd probably want to use wide characters. I'm not sure what kind of strings Linux GUIs use but I suspect it's wide characters as well.

That's why they'd work in collaboration with the engineers. To enshrine engineering specific things - names of reusable complements, etc - into the design system. The designers aren't deciding on those, but they can still be included to make the most effective and useful design system possible.

Good point re: investment not being made for p2p tech, maybe consumers never demanded it, or it could be that the ISPs are also the broadcasters who want to protect their copyrights

(thinking about it, it's not clear this had to be the case, the phone lines were made for symmetric communication but dial-up was subsumed by cable providers - we got higher speeds but only because it was in the broadcasters' interest to sell us media packages, they were never going to help us send files to each other)
Yes, entropy increases in the salad dressing, but only when it's insulated (in reality we can't consider salad dressing outside of the Earth gravitational field, but let's say the Earth is insulated too). Now imagine that the extra energy (i.e. generated heat) has dissipated (either out of a window or, if we consider the Earth too, into the space). Is it still an increase of entropy? Our Solar system is not a closed system, the extra heat that was generated by creation of planets has dissipated (and is continuing to do so). So in the end the entropy of the Solar system is lower, i.e. we have more order, at least in our vicinity. Possibly in the whole universe since it's (presumably) expanding. Anyway, I wouldn't apply 2nd law of thermodynamics to the whole universe, we have no idea what happens at that scale.
One of the interesting parts of this is the key exchange. Handing off a deck of cards works - but that's not always practical.

Not sell it only once. Nobody would ever have bought an Office license if it would be priced at development costs. But lifetime revenue should be in a reasonable relation to development costs. And everything gets more complicated with expected support cost and updates and whatnot. I can not possibly mention all imaginable complications.

Just take the general gist, if you are not working, then you should not be making money. And I do not want people to suffer, I want them to be better off. There are many people that actually do hard or badly paid work, software development is not one of them.

If you overcharge your customers to be able to hang out at the beach half of the week, then you are just taking money away from them that they could otherwise spend on say higher priced vegetables improving the wages of seasonal workers.

Maybe another way to see it is that I dislike people that are already well off not being satisfied. What if everyone wanted to only work four hours a day and earn $45k per month? Does this sound like an sustainable idea?
Yep, but it doesn’t feel like a delay now.

Makes me wonder how bad utf-8 in off-latin environments really is: what's the fraction of strings that is "language content", and how much is colons, quotes, decimal numbers and the like? What fraction of coding cultures embraces home locale script for identifiers, and how many continue on the trajectory set in motion by pre-unicode programming languages? My guess would be that utf-8 is still quite bad, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if actual numbers turned out considerably less bad than one might expect. And how much of the "utf-8 tax" remains if the actual format of most data at rest and in transit isn't json but gzipped json?

Yes, I often see people putting things into mutually-exclusive categories when I rather think they should be thinking with more of a tag system.
Yeah, and let Postgres take care of redundancy.
I agree that this is an interesting proposition.
AFAIK PortWorkx could do a similar thing, but then with storage redundancy.
Basically:
- storage is synced to 3 local storage devices spread across 3 different k8s nodes. This could be NVMe.
- pod is only scheduled next to one of the three
- reads are local, writes are local (for fsync) and synchronised to the other devices.
I would love to test with pg_tps_optimizer against Portworkx
