I am on this road too, with two children between 5 and 10. My conclusion is pretty much that if I don't want them to do those kinds of activities (social media, youtube, games, endless TV) then I have to put my money where my mouth is and proactively fill their time, either by giving up mine, facilitating time with friends, or by paying someone else (after school activities, lessons etc).

I have heard the argument often (form older folk, mainly) that it's ok for kids to be bored. Kids _should_ be bored sometimes etc etc. And while I agree with the spirit of such, to an extent, it was easier when I was a kid because there wasn't so much competition from the outside world for my attention. If I had nothing to do, I'd have to find something to do, and the only options were 'good' things that weren;t commercially orientated attention-thieves made in the mould of services intended for adults. Now, if my kid is bored, they know that they can watch pretty much any TV program ever made, and chip and change at will, they can play games on my phone, they can play games / youtube on their laptop etc etc and half the kids at school are watching Squid Game and playing Fortnite, so it's pretty hard to justify saying "no you can't do those things" unless you are willing to present some fairly compelling alternatives. Kids love attention from their parents, and hanging out with other kids. And on the plus side, giving your kids attention is normally pretty fun if you can make the time to do it properly, imho. Often hard to do though.

Infrared is a wide range. Ambient temperature black body radiation (LWIR) is typically detected between 7..14um. Refractive optics that works from there to visible range (380..700nm) is to my knowledge still unsolved problem.
It's sunrise and a vet stands at the edge of a parking lot, at the top of a short flight of stairs leading down to the beach below. Off in the distance a few hundred meters away, a dog jogs off down the empty beach. The vet, arms hanging by his side and feeling dejected, simply says "Balls..." and turns away.
The flat address space of the Atari ST made it a lot easier to port workstation software to it than the segmented memory management of Mac OS.
This is what I was thinking, saying "WeWork Goes Bankrupt" is not news at all, they've been going that direction for quite some time as the liquid resources were being systematically siphoned off.

The actual news is more accurately captured in the title of the "dupe" thread where it says "WeWork Files for Bankruptcy".
A lot of people are collectors with way too much time—among other things—on their hands.
>the chance it's counterfeit is significantly higher

So, "guilty until proven innocent" is the way they look at anything made by Apple and "innocent until proven guilty" otherwise? Seems… fishy at a minimum. Corrupt more likely.
I’m sorry to hear that, it’s a really hard mindset to grasp and we all falter here and there.

I can’t speak for anyone else (I don’t know your particular situation and do not want to assume anything) but I found that doing something for the sake of doing it was one of they key things that helped me overcome a feeling of being used/unappreciated.

In my personal experience and with a lot of introspection I found that the reason I had that feeling was that I personally had painted a picture of what gratitude should look and feel like when, in reality, we all express gratitude in different ways.

By painting that picture I had essentially built up an expectation as to what the outcome of my actions would be, and when that expectation failed to materialise the negative feelings ensued.

Something which I found massively helped with limiting my expectation was to have a mantra which I could repeat in my mind as a sort of short circuit to break the chain of negative thoughts.

The mantra can be anything, I went with ‘thank you’ as it is hard to feel anything other than gratitude when you are thanking someone/something
It depends on the wabbajack list you use. Many bring the UI more or less in line with modern standards. Most of them include major graphical improvements. Then they bring new content on top of that - items, spells (if applicable), creatures, NPCs, etc. rarely, they also expand the game maps with new areas.
yeah.. a weird way to say 39 times cheaper ;)
Fair queuing shouldn't be necessary in the core. If every base station/WiFi router/client device support fair queuing that should be enough.
They could just not bother to catch them if they see ones with clipped ears. Also, catching them might be quite simple if you attract them with treats and treat them decently.
Interactive widgets is iOS 17 only. Also, since it's a new app (and I think) a new-ish developer, I doubt they want the hassle of supporting old OSes for a key app feature.

Being tougher on deviance cannot produce a world without deviance. Any system will be gamed. It will only shift it around. The middle class fantasy of perfect law enforcement is a fruit of our own moral self oppression. Powerful, wealthy people don't live by rules, they live by personal relationships and any fiction to the contrary is mere propaganda.

Do you know if these implementations also support leveraging the M1/M2 GPU, such as shown here? https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/382
Because we can see the distribution from the CMB, 380,000 years after the big bang. It's almost perfectly homogenous and isotropic. The images you see of the CMB are amplified a lot, the deviations are on the order of 10^-5 or something.

This in turn puts constraints on the primordial quantum fluctuations that were inflated during the inflation phase, and backtracking through simulations it puts constraints on the entire dark matter and matter history from now back to age 380,000 years.
People complain about "ZIRP", but it did reduce the benefits of co-mingling finance with retail and decoupled consumer credit from being quite so critical to sales.

Exploring different ways to build a rules engine (2023)
A lot of families around the world aren't able to have the number of children they'd prefer to have. There's a lot of reasons for it many of which come down to people not having enough money for a family. Lack of affordable housing and childcare are big ones. Uncertainty about the security of our future is another. If a government did want to prevent humans from reproducing, they've got a pretty good head start and plenty of examples of what to do more of.
Sometimes, a better word for racism is tribalism, since it does not always stem from skin color. Tribes delineate among infinite lines, but common ones are wealth, religion (or customs), lineage, education, etc, and some of those might even overlap.

Clearly.

And for the longest time I didn't even block Google ads.

It was kind of a deal between them and me: they serve me ads in exchange for excellent free services.

Lately however the quality has sunk through the floor and the annoyance has skyrocketed.

It is almost like they don't care about the ads pr se, it seems they only want to turn the lever up until I start subscribing. And it won't surprise me a bit if after a few years it is pay + ads.

I use Google the way I use Microsoft, when it is convenient for me. They have broken so many implicit contracts with everyone of us that none of us owe them anything except what the law says.

------

The ads were always rubbish for me (I hear other people had scarily good ads) but "my" Google ads hit a few times in a decade. (Facebook was however scarily good: I hardly use Facebook or any of their properties at all, and still every time I log in they seem to have something I am tempted to buy).
I noticed that I kept getting the same IP address after reboots and even extended (tens of minutes) of the router being switched off.

A couple of years later my house was raided by the police.

I don't know if the two are related though, but within a couple of months after the raid my IP address changed for the first time since I noticed it being "static". Likely to be pure coincidence, but after that particular experience there are all sorts of different things that could be "putting two and two together"-type paranoia.

It's back to being reliably static at the moment... brb, someone at the door ;)

That sounds oddly intense for a bank app. I understand them not wanting a rooted phone and a few of the measures but everything sounds quite interesting/heavy. Would you be okay saying which bank this is or which country you are in?

I still wonder if with something like a root hiding thing like grapheneOS’s software this could be “overcome”.

This is the facility I work at! The stuff they do here is quite amazing! If you ever get a chance to visit I highly recommend it!
if you want to mess with Mac ROMs now, I think Ghidra is a nicer experience than most of the vintage tools, and you can use QEMU with GDB (at least for the Q800 ROM).

But, in all of those cases, things are done because they beneficial impact in final code and speed of delivery. Beautiful git history does not have such tangible measurable benefit.

I respectfully disagree. In my experience, a tidy history directly benefits both efficiency and outcomes of code reviews, speeds up investigations of both bug reports and sometimes general background before starting new development, makes development much easier in situations where changes may need to be isolated and deployed to specific environments (not all software is a web app using CI/CD…), makes it much easier to back out a problematic change without causing unnecessary collateral damage, and helps to verify which development has actually been completed and deployed to which stages/environments, which can be useful for general awareness around the team but is particularly important if you’re operating in any kind of regulated field. All of that in exchange for usually spending less time in `git rebase -i` than it’s taken me to write this comment seems like a bargain to me, but YMMV.
> The Amiga and Atari ST were home computers not workstations, their UI had to be usable on the crappy TV sets most households would have owned back then.

It didn’t have to be; it was a design choice. It seems they found colour support and price more important than having a crisp display.

As examples why it is a choice:

- the TRS-80 (typically) came with its own monitor, for 64-character lines and ‘superior’ image quality (but do read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80#Video_and_audio)

- the PET similarly was monochrome.

They’re both older, though, and they couldn’t compete against home computers that did colour (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET#Graphics_display: “In the home computer market, the PET line was soon outsold by machines that supported high-resolution color graphics and sound”)

So, I think it was the right choice for that kind of product at that time.

> To what do you attribute the massive improvements in life expectancy, medicine, overall QOL and other things over the last ~200 years or so?

not capitalism but technology

Louis Pasteur was from France which was a monarchy and had just come out of a Napoleonic dictatorship and big government stimulated economy...when he discovered germ theory.

Einstein was a patent clerk he didn't get any venture capital funding.

The internet is a result of government funding.

Government and private industry BOTH have funded tons of successful scientific breakthroughs.

Capitalism is not responsible for QOL improvements...technology is.

Capitalism has actually jacked up the cost of health care in America to the highest of any country in the world with the worse outcomes than many countries.

capitalism is leading to monopolistic conditions in many areas of the country.

it's clear that government's and capitalism need each other and unchecked unregulated versions of either lead to dysfunctional systems.

> I’ve always been on the other side of the coin, programming has always been a means to and end, not an end itself.

This point of view is actually validating to hear. Now, on my own time, I do enjoy programming and even dabbling in things like gamedev, but at the same time I don't seek out difficult problems in particular - it's more about the end result.

When it comes to professional work, I have an even more conservative perspective: to just pick well known tools to solve problems in ways that have been proven to work over the years, ideally without blazing new trails and working on stuff nobody has ever done before.

In regards to technologies, that also means lots of Debian or Ubuntu, relational databases and boring back end languages like .NET or Java, with whatever is stable enough for the front end, but then again, the people shopping or submitting forms or whatever won't necessarily care whether you use NoSQL, serverless functions, or something else entirely.

This is not an isolated one-off decision. In your opinion, what should people do after refusing the python3 transition plan? Refuse changing the string treatment forever, or block the transition until some better plan is proposed?

And throw in Conway's law [0] and the scope of the coordination becomes easier to understand.

My career trajectory bought it come for me, intermittently contracting for/with a UK govt acquisition organisation buying systems for Govt customers.

Task: make these disparate systems speak to each other

* Q: Why don't the systems use the same protocols?

* A: They are delivered by different contractors

* Q: Why don't the contractors use the same (existing) standard?

* A: They aren't incentivised to do contractually

* Q: Why do they have different types of contract?

* A: Because each one is contracted by a separate acquisition team

* Q: Why don't the acquisition teams use common requirements / contracting / technical / etc approaches?

* A: Because they are separately funded by different customers

* Q: Why don't the customers speak to each other?

* A: decades of institutionalised rivalries and differences of opinion regarding apparently common problems

It took me about ten years to work down this list, understanding each layer. One of my most satisfying career moments was when I was asked to brief a senior customer decision maker who owned the resulting mess, and drew them a diagram showing the layers. He then set in motion a top-down alignment of the bit he could directly control: requirements writing. The belief was that getting consistent requirements would be a good starting point that would hopefully flow down the organisations involved.

[Edit] Another problem with increasing coherence in this way is that it costs money (e.g. to adopt / set up the standards / protocols involved). Money that could be spent delivering customer requirements, and which PMs are reluctant to spend on 'under the bonnet' techie things the customers won't see let alone understand.

About those printers...

Most people will tell you ISO 216 and DIN 476 are the same. this is not so

The DIN 476 standard has very slightly tighter tolerances than the ISO 216 and in the mid 90s I had the good fortune to meet one of those fancy new printers, under glass, yes, which no longer used continuous form paper but rather it used ISO 216 A4 pages. Or that's what you thought. It used DIN 476. Hundreds and hundreds per minute. The input and output trays were the height of an adult person.

And the moment someone bought A4 which was not DIN 476 compliant things went south. Very, very south. I believe the difference is half a millimetre (!). That printer was not mercifully designed.
So, when using CBC without verification, attacker with an access to DB won't be able to see original plaintext, but will be able to change the data?

But how can attacker control what plaintext will become, if he doesn't have a key? Wouldn't he be limited to either a random value or a value from another field?

Since IV is constant. It doesn't need to be stored in DB and can be treated like a key. So, attacker (with an access to DB) can't change IV for a server app reading from the DB.

In Slovakia one of the biggest networks used to use "almost static" public IPs for home clients, they were assigned by DHCP and cached for 24 hours, so in the few years we've used them our IP changed twice... but since then they switched home customers to IPv6 using DS-Lite so no public IPv4 anymore...
AmigaOS was pretty competitive for the time in 1985. Like you mentioned, pre-emptive multitasking, but also nice intertask (=process) communication, layers & windowing library, a good graphics library, a good set of GUI gadgets (=widgets), etc.

Mac OS and Atari ST had both Motorola 680x0 CPUs. So both had a flat address space.
The sad thing was that the transition could have been incremental - the "polyglot option" arrived somewhere in the middle of the transition, and a lot of debate was still raging as if there was no way to use python2 libraries in python3 (and vice versa) when in our migration we've already took the initiative and adapted the few (relatively small) libraries we needed so that they supported both python2 and python3.

The esp32 has a low power coprocessor; have you considered keeping the main processor off most of the time and utilizing the coprocessor for more logic? The tooling is kind of bad for the base model but it gets better with the more modern variants.

FTX was insanely profitable (100s of millions in revenue, low expenses). If SBF hadn't have taken customer money they'd still be around. Even now the CEO overseeing bankruptcy has recovered 90 percent of customer assets. Their downfall was absolutely accounting shenanigans, not an issue with the core business.

Their product was letting people take leveraged gambles on crypto, so arguably not a social good.
