Yep. But I always spelled it [with two T's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification) and another acceptable term for it is "platform decay," which might be easier to discuss in some circles where you might want to bring the topic to the fore.
IMAP supports server side searching. IMAP also supports custom flags (similar to GMail's labels) which can also be searched on. However, unfortunately, most email clients don't seem to support IMAP custom flags (Evolution and Thunderbird do).

I use Evolution with custom flags and virtual folders + imapfilter to automatically add custom flags. It works great.
The tech world needs something like that. Maybe certificates are the best solution.
>Math is a model of the universe

And I would dare to disagree right here. Math contains many structures that we don't know from our universe and that probably do not exist in our universe. If math is a model of universe, why is there a Mandelbrot set?
> There is an infinite quantity of both rational and irrational numbers, so isn't it therefore impossible for there to be more of one than of the other?

Mathematicians can even meaningfully compare infinities.

See eg https://www.cantorsparadise.com/this-may-seem-more-irrationa... or https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/474415/intuitive-ex...

You can also look at eg a uniform random variable on the interval between 0 to 1. The probability of hitting a rational number is 0%. The probability of hitting an irrational number is 100%.

> Or is the reasoning that, because there is an infinite quantity of irrational numbers between any two given rational numbers, there are therefore many more irrational numbers than rational numbers?

No, that's not enough. There are also an infinitely many rational numbers between any two given irrational numbers.
The mathematical universe hypothesis says reality is mathematics. Not just that math can model reality, but that the universe is a mathematical structure.

That isn't really at odds with what you are saying though, it's just a lower level.

Actually it is insight. Much closer to the facts on the ground than the opposite. It is a take informed by actual experience of reality, as opposed to boy-scout naivety.

At planet.com we had star scanner and we also calibrated our camera with the moon. When you traverse the horizon in 15 minutes , I think about 30k mph from what I remember , knowing exactly where you are is tough. Knowing where you point the camera is even harder. And no gps didn’t really work well up there

Possibly. Except the level of the questions asked in Quora is much lower than in SO (a lot of leading/biased questions or just plain wrong stuff) and moderation is nonexistent.
I imagine the internet anthropologists of the future will have a name for the pre and post AI eras, and most certainly will hate working in the post AI era.
Looks pretty correct to me...

We just keep track of the table size and make it bigger if necessary.

We additionally have a mode where we just calculate the necessary size, without writing any data structures.

So we have kinda added double safety against this particular bug.
I think the argument is that file permissions may not be applied as rigorously, with the assumption that SIP is in effect.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was just wondering about it because I worked 10 years ago in a bootstrapped company and of course, it does not have a substantial financial upside in comparison with liquid RSUs or payment premiums due to VC money; but was a pretty decent working experience.

At least for me was more or less felt less about an employee in the sense of not having a lot of Kool-Aid as a VC/larger company, and more about having a clear boundary that I was selling a service in a stable for-profit company in a specific niche.
What is counting if it isn't being able to say what the next thing is? Do you have a mapping to integers or not? If so, then every n has n+1.

The point I was trying to make is that there is no concept of 'next' inherent to the rationals, nor is there any natural or canonical ordering. The ordering and what comes 'next' is entirely a property of which arbitrary mapping you choose (I'm partial to Gödel numbering). The resultant order that your mapping imposes on the rationals is rarely useful or meaningful.
Great to see this kind of visualization gaining prominence! Thinking about matrix algebra in higher dimensions makes everything much more intuitive. I started along this road when I was creating 3D visualizations for the Deep Learning Indaba workshop [1], but I've spent some time since then trying to pin down the algebraic aspects of array manipulation in this blog post series that includes lots of visualizations [2], which I'm hoping to serve as a more fundamental tutorial of what array programming is all about and how to think about it more abstractly -- there is a category theory way of looking at it that is I think really nice, though I'm still working on writing that up.

> It was always a con. A regulation had been in place since 2015, they repealed it in 2017, it never mattered.

This sounds like one of the pregurgitated anti-neutrality mantra. Specifically, the one that ignores the many growing trends (caps, prioritization, purposeful peering congestion) before neutrality and how those trends mostly paused when neutrality was passed.

It also ignores what ISPs know - that not every administration has full-throated support for anti-consumer practices. That is, not every admin will provide the cover ISPs need to get consumers used to increasing mistreatment.

Better to keep the pause on consumer harms in place until a friendlier environment can be secured for the long term.

Meanwhile it's still safe screw consumers on other fronts. One is further entrenching ISP monopoly/duopoly positions by having lobbyists write state anti-munibroadband laws for paid legislators to pass.
Nobody owes passive investors money. It is an investment strategy that many people take, and like any strategy it can be exploited. If you buy stock and don't look at how the company you own is doing, then you deserve to lose your money. Nobody lied here. Everything was done right out in the open.
Raising money by issuing stock for the purpose of modernizing a company is one thing, as an investor I'd be happy to buy such stock.

But I would not buy stock only for the company to do buy-back programs for other shareholders, especially not if the company would be in a worse shape (i.e. less net worth of its assets and debts) afterwards.
The Daily Star really pulls it's weight.

The original claim was just "cheating", it was the jokey British Tabloid press that made up the sex toy angle.

The daily star isn't supposed to be taken seriously, but somehow it spread and took off a life of it's own.
This is actually really, really important. It sounds so simple.

Self compassion takes a lot of work and I'm still awful at it.

"There was just a better candidate for the job" helps me deal with getting turned down.

You are worth the effort, your work deserves compensation at a reasonable value. You deserve a place and space in the world. You are gonna have to fight for it and you are not guaranteed it either, but you are deserving of it if you put the work in.

Self compassion takes work.
The macOS installer is a universal installer. Meaning it contains the entire app twice. Once for Intel and one for Apple Silicon. With a macOS installer for only one architecture its size would be cut in half. Windows don't have this problem.

>But first published novels skew quite old

Most of the writers I know started young, and not all writers are novelists. Most are not.

At one point Quora literally paid people to ask questions. They replaced that with an AI generating questions. Both went about as well as you'd imagine.

Questions drive traffic. They give the answerers something to write about. (The AI version is literally called the "Quora Prompt Generator". It's a writing prompt.) They don't care about the "life" of the site. They care that it has high SEO placement so that they can show you ads.

Some of its SEO is due to the fact that they used to be an attractive community. But having achieved that, they have little need to nurture it. They can coast by on name recognition, at least for a while longer.
Most Americans wouldn't be eligible for a resident visa to move to most European countries (and vice-versa); and when they would the process is long and expensive.

I don't know why people from the US often, even knowing about their own country's strict immigration requirements, assume that they themselves can just pick up and move to any country they want (e.g. Europe, Canada, Australia, etc). 9/10s of the US population aren't in high demand jobs, most countries don't want you.

In that case, why both sides of the Cold War spent fortunes on conventional forces along the Iron Curtain?

Like yes it is playing with (nuclear) fire, and maybe they were wrong, but there plenty of professionals who, maybe biased by their positions, who felt the need to get ready for limited nuclear war. And I'm not really convinced either side would want to risk destroying human civilization over Frankfurt.

> Also, there is no difference between a tactical and strategic nuke from an escalatory perspective. Once the genie is out, it’s out.

I mean, why? Why shouldn't tactical and strategic be separate steps on the ladder?
Most of those can drop down to 2G as well, can't they? And 2G won't be turned off for a while yet.

Sure, it's a lot slower, but more reliable. And more then enough for a little traffic or weather data.

"Yes, an egg can be melted by applying heat.[1][2] The most common method is cooking the egg on the stove or in the microwave until it reaches its melting point and becomes a liquid.[1] However, care must be taken to heat the egg gently and avoid allowing it to overcook, which could produce undesirable textures or safety issues.[3]"
> WSL1 was implementing the Linux syscall API on the Windows kernel, which proved to be much more complex than it appears to be.

I've long wondered, and again now that Chat GPT is proving so adept at coding, if this translation layer could be automated. Do humans actually have to hand-code each syscall? Or are there just enough edge conditions that can't be automated?
It depends. Some projects can be retargeted to netstandard2.0/net6(8).0 without any changes at all, some require minor update of dependencies and some other - do face breaking changes in library code because APIs did get deprecated.

With that said, neither IL nor C# itself had any changes breaking forward compatibility (aside from a very early change to foreach recently discussed here).

I had something similar happen to me, and I realized that being unilaterally excluded from a social group is basically exile, which historically was one form of the death penalty [1].

Why does everyone frame the problem as “if you phrase the question wrong”? This example is a simple question. Any human who understands English understands the meaning of the question here. The fact that it gets it wrong with this phrasing indicates the model doesn’t understand the world. We shouldn’t blame users for asking questions “wrong”.
SIP won't save you from wrong file permissions.

And SIP doesn't defend you from editing files in /bin. They are guarded by the fact that root filesystem is mounted read-only.
The value created is in what his customers paid for: computers that worked for them in business and in their homes.

Things don't have to be unique to create value. They just have to be worth their price. And if you charge people a price and they pay it, you can be pretty sure you created value for them. And so if someone like that is super rich, you can be sure they likely created a lot of value.

You still seem stuck on "it's easier for some people than others to create value", which is still not relevant to this point.
Wasn't this an Always Sunny episode?
Influence and inform are two sides of the same moral coin, where we claim others ideas aren't their own, whereas we are the virtuous informed ones who draw our own conclusions.

The low-pass filter of the mind only allows in what fits somewhere inside the existing framework. If you don't reject something, then being informed by it and being influenced by it are the same thing. In that framework, people who claim to be informed come off as high and mighty and a little lacking in self consciousness.
Stocks and bonds (or loans) are both liabilities. Only difference is priority. Lenders have priority over shareholders in the event of a liquidation. If you own stock in a company and they're shifting from being funded by capital to being funded by debt, it mostly shouldn't matter unless they're going bankrupt, and in this case they clearly were headed that way and stockholders should have sold.

In some sense _the entire reason that companies exist_ is so that shareholders can at some point extract some money from the company and there's only two ways to do that -- either through dividends or growth. BB was (at best) clearly no longer a growth company, and stock buybacks are just dividends in disguise. They're a strong signal that you should be cashing out at least some of of your position as a stock holder while you can.
They didn't even buy the website. They reskinned their own website (dig around in the front-end code).
Sure, but the argument kind of loses merit, no? I remember the entire collective internet having site wide shutdowns, urging users to write to congress, etc. It was an extensive campaign that looped in many non technical folks to a very technical topic. You can only cry wolf like that a few times. If a similar campaign were to launch again, I’m almost certain it would fail to get the same mainstream support, especially because the “sky is falling” arguments made last time never came true (or at least not in the ways claimed). Lost credibility is hard to regain for the next time there truly is an existential crisis.
Android phones don't have an awful lot of attack surface area for typical users though. Messenger apps already will refuse to display arbitrary images - Whatsapp for example will only display jpegs and mp4's sent from other contacts.
This is the version with local translation of web pages. It looks like they translate between Bulgarian, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The problem is, eventually there will be a correction, there has to be, as every bubble will pop sooner or later. And then, a lot of people will be left holding really fucking large bags, like the Detroit housing market post-2008 where people were completely underwater with their mortgages, and communities/society at large would be left with the fallout of urban blight.

Meanwhile, those profiting from the bubble all the time have long since cashed out.
Automation increases demand.

Just look at the dairy industry. Pre-automation sales numbers vs. post-automation sales numbers.

This is true for every industry on earth, and doesn't care about the pedantic definition of demand. Consumer demand = more purchases. More purchases = more revenue.
USA sells weapons to Saudi Arabia. As a result, Saudi Arabia doesn't get its weapons from Russia or Iran and normalizes its relationship with Israel (which is where I live, full disclosure :P).

To me this looks like the best way to bring other countries "into the fold" as well as bring peace to the middle east, until eventually the US selling weapons to Saudi Arabia will be viewed similarly to the US selling weapons to Germany.

Maybe I'm just naive, but I think in most cases applying "friendly pressure" is more useful than force, and I mostly agree with your take that selling cyberweapons should be treated similarly to selling conventional weapons.

Fantastic visualizations. If you're new to Linear Algebra, i.e., the algebra of linear transformations, represented by matrices, and how they act on vectors, and you want to gain an intuitive understanding of it, I recommend:

* "The Essence of Linear Algebra," by 3Blue1Brown: https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/linear-algebra

* The popular introductory course taught by Gilbert Strang: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010...
Completely agree.

I think there is a cultural component that has transferred throughout history whereby people need to signal their level of education to others.

You've probably had it happen yourself without realizing.

You hear someone explaining something in a simplistic way, and notice yourself wondering how deeply they understand the topic. Then when you are explaining the topic, you don't want people to question your own knowledge level like you did to the other person, so you use techniques to signal the depth of your knowledge.

This might be fancy words, or skipping over simplistic things.

And I think this just becomes second nature.

You can see it with programming languages. If I told you to rate a Rust dev vs JS dev, you are thinking Rust is harder to learn so they must be smarter.

It can also just be a challenge to imagine how you thought about a concept when you were initially learning it.

English is pretty terrible for explaining a lot of math too. Math is better understood visually, but back in the day you couldn't exactly share an interactive diagram.

1. Yes, twice.

1a. My first job laid me off after 10 months, the CEO decided to relocate the company to the Caribbean for a tax break/shelter, which required hiring 70% local people. As the core company was small, the only people retained were the C-level, VPs, and their secretaries. Only 2 of 10 people from my office were retained (and forced to relocate).

1b. My Second job laid me off after 2 months. This small software company had split in two just before my arrival because the two lead programmers did not get along. I was placed with the disagreeable lead, who didn't want me on his team. When a newly degreed former employee, who left on good terms, stopped by one day looking for a job. My boss volunteered my position. The day before layoff I had talked to my leads boss about the good work I had been doing and the next project I would tackle, the next day they laid me off telling me they decided to go a different direction.

2. Yes, negatively. Both times.

3. Kinda some social stigma after the second layoff. I had relocated for both jobs, and didn't have a great support system either place. After the second layoff, recruiters/hiring managers treated me as I was the problem not just some misfortune.

He's a confirmed cheater. We just don't know for sure that he cheated in that match in particular.

I'm used to games where if someone is caught cheating they're just banned from competitive aspects of the activity going forward. giving them a chance to get better at hiding their cheating doesn't work for games like chess. He should just go to a different pursuit.
