It would be an interesting world if all our plastics started to rot. Water and sewerage piping is mostly plastic, there's heavy uses of plastics in electrical infrastructure, the majority of our containers, many car parts, the bulk of the housings of our electronics, building weatherproofing, most of our clothing... It would be nice to use other materials, but plastics are used because they're cheap, easy to work with, and they work well.

Also, how much plastic has been produced over the last 100 years? It also would have been nice not to have just thrown it all into a landfill, but now that it's there do we really want to release all the CO2 that's been safely locked away underground in solid plastic?

I wonder if they will release improvements to voice in ChatGPT. I have been working on a local AI with voice and it responds much, much faster than ChatGPT[1]. OpenAI's voices sound amazing and GPT-4 is still the best chat model, but despite that it's a lot more fun to have a conversation with reasonable latency. I expect it's only a matter of time before OpenAI does something better, I'm actually surprised they released it in such a slow state.

The smart and motivated ones will try to get to the grocery store. Unfortunately, for most, those services do so much more harm than good. What makes sense for a wealthy professional to pay for the convenience of food or grocery delivery ends up being a small fortune for a lot of young people who can't afford a car to go to the grocery store.

It's a clear short- vs long-term thinking issue, but the reality is most young people are living with so little hope for the future that denying immediate pleasures in search of a future payoff seems naive and pointless.
For the most part, Google and Apple are allowed to choose which apps come preinstalled on their own devices. If there is evidence of pressure to keep a competitor from making a deal to preinstall apps on somebody else's devices (Samsung, Verizon, etc.), that's a problem. I don't see why Google would bother in this case, but I wouldn't be surprised if the discovery process exposes enough management stupidity to get a favorable outcome for Epic.
This makes the move to Switzerland look prescient.
Chomsky is listing the filters, but not any countervailing forces. Al Jazeera is owned by people with different motivations than Disney. So they publish different things. But note -- this only reinforces Chomsky's point! It highlights the damage of concentrated ownership. Counting on the "benificence" of oil-sheiks seems like a bad plan for civil society.

Remember too that Manufacturing Consent (1988 and Chomsky's thinking in general) precede mass-internet comms and the globalized infosphere. Mass-comms really did require large capital plants (towers, satellites, cable plants, etc.), and mass-media and big-capital were inseparable. This is less true today for new media. It is more true for the incumbent radio, tv, and newspaper businesses. Those have been concentrated into a very few hands over the last 40 years.

I've not kept up with Chomsky enough to know his current thinking. I'd argue that 2 and 4 are even stronger on the internet. 5 is evergreen. And 4 is now an aspirational lifestyle - the "Influencer".

If you consider that the average person hasn't read a book since high-school, and needs someone on the nightly news to tell them what happened on twitter yesterday, then this STILL hasn't reached "mass media".

>As for the rest: sometimes geopolitics and morality aligns. This is one of those cases, IMHO.

It always aligns for the US because that's how the US and it's people spin it. When has it not aligned? Never. WMDs in iraq were totally real.

>Unless I am misremembering the history, the missiles on Cuba were nuclear missiles. These are purely offensive weapons that have very little defensive capabilities.

So if china had a carrier off the coast of california with artillery pointed towards SF it wouldn't be a big deal because artillery is not nuclear? It's a physical threat and both justify extreme reactions.

I would also note that the US had missiles pointing at Russia during the crisis and the Russian reaction was nowhere as extreme or public. So really what occurred here it the US was the provocateur and the Cuban missile crisis was what Russia did to alleviate the crisis. Both the cuban and the missiles pointing at Russia were removed as part of the deal. In this case Russia took steps towards peace.
Not for any publicly hosted instance, it’s not. We’re not talking about the time it takes to perform one request but the scalability it affords a small vm to handle so many requests in parallel when it is being used by the general public.

I think my question is why do this if JavaScript is a single threaded language anyway? If you’ve got concurrent processes running in JavaScript, they’re not actually “concurrent”, right? If you’re stuck using JS aren’t you fundamentally better off separating them into two distinct process packages, and having them communicate via some IPC system?

Furthermore; why not just *avoid doing concurrency intensive work in JS* in the first place? Isn’t that why people learned Go?

Seems like a solution looking for a problem kind of, but that’s my low effort critique so maybe I should stuff it.
> destroying Commit information just to keep the graph tidy is a bad idea in my opinion

The commit information I see when telling teams to squash their branches on merge is not valuable.

* "fixing whitespace"
* "incorporate review comments"
* "fix broken test"
* "fix other broken test"

(note, the broken tests were broken by the changes in the PR)

As soon as that PR is merged those commits are worthless. And there are branches with dozens of those "fixing X" commits that would otherwise pollute the commit graph.
CNN decided to focus on smoking and inhaling, but the study they cite isn't focused on smoking or vaping. A quote from the paper:

Yep! What I mean, though, is that the loading function itself will need to mutate the object as it reads settings from disk and updates the in-memory data structure. Once that's done, you can pass that around as a read-only object.

It does look horrible, never denied that in my post. Also, I am not part of any community despite writing Rust. There's a lot of stuff online that is borderline insanity in terms of developer UX. I personally try not to generalise on things that stand out like that; it's selection bias.
Why OLED monitor burn-in isn't a problem anymore
No offense: I think you're missing the point. Phones are just the vector (that is also a kind of status symbol) for a few powerful types of social needles, each filled with a drug that attacks various mental feedback loops that debilitate you, and that those drugs are business models affecting your kids (if you have any) should cause some concern as society stratifies physically, socially, and economically. Wars and businesses have life spans. This situation becomes life. I think there's a significant difference. YMMV, especially if you live someplace where you can physically avoid the issues which at this point is the most viable strategy.

I do the exercise of imagining the colors one would be exposed to as a hunter gatherer (context in which humans developed, 90% of human history), and there would seldom be anything vibrant (sunsets, sky, plants/flowers) when compared to today. I would imagine black + white on the phone would assist in more optimally calibrating one's dopaminergic pathways / receptors.
It’s actually very nearly optimal: using as many triangles as needed to display as much detail as possible while staying under the one triangle per pixel limit.

That’s the opposite of using 10K pixels to render two pixels on the screen.

I mostly love updates of FOSS software, each time it feels like receiving a tiny gift from a developer somewhere in another corner of the world. I run Arch so I get multiple gifts each day.

On the other hand, I mostly dislike updates of proprietary apps. They tend to be much larger in size (I'm on a metered connection) and usually don't have my best interest in mind.
Is that even a shortcut? I would have a hard time remembering that, compared to cmd + v.

I don’t know of any off-the-shelf product that respects X_FORWARDED_FOR unless the current request ip originates from a whitelisted (or lan) address.
From experience, I have used a TSI when I need help with a bug in Apple's products. Every single time (about 5x) they "refunded" the TSI because it was an Apple bug. I have never had to pay for extra TSIs -- I use the ones that come with my developer account and (so far) they are always refunded. I don't know why people hoard them -- they are use it or lose it every year.

I have also gone to a virtual dev lab during WWDC which was awesome. Lots of "free" help from an Apple engineer (basically 30 minute speed run of lot of questions about Apple Watch workout app development).

I have mixed experience with Feedbacks. I have filed dozens that I actually care about and maybe 10% were a decent experience. The rest were essentially ignored.
You're the one lumping traditional conservative with MAGA types. And yes, many of these talking points are traditional conservative as is your appeal to "even tempered reconciliation" which is classic stop fighting and just accept my conservatism talk.
Samsung and TSMC may be in foreign countries, but the key thing is both South Korea and Taiwan are very closely aligned with the United States for defense.

This concern is less about the chips being made here, but controlling the ability for enemy powers to get a hold of them. Consider that "bombing the TSMC facilities" has been considered a possible plan if Taiwan is invaded, because a key goal is ensuring China doesn't control that capability.

I haven't run into that so much myself. What I have run into is trying to write C-but-in-Rust, for which the compiler yells at me to please knock it off. It got way easier when I gave up and committed to doing things the Rust way.

Apple should release a Mac mini that can "dock" to a 5k monitor with usb-c display and power. This will avoid power cable clutter and enable a much nicer setup.
FTA:

// NOTE(rsc): This function does NOT call the runtime cmpstring
// If performance is important, the compiler should be changed
// to recognize the pattern so that all code doing three-way
// comparisons, not just code using strings.Compare, can benefit

I would think that making the compiler more complex to make badly written code run faster, goes a bit against the spirit of go (https://go.dev/doc/: “Go compiles quickly to machine code”).

So, how much would that slow down the compiler? Any checks would have to do work wherever strings are compared, and that, I think, happens relatively often in you typical tool that handles json, URLs, etc.
This means having to keep these branches around cluttering up everything, and makes git bisect a lot more complicated.
> Generations previous were equally car dependent but got by.

Only a couple of them! You are aware that the mass adoption of cars was a mid-20th-century phenomenon, yes? US cities were radically reshaped around interstate highways during the '50s and '60s. This car-dependence is quite a recent thing in the human experience.
On Samsung at least, you can set a key shortcut to enable B&W mode.

I try and use it most of the time, and the shortcut makes it easy to see things in colour if needed.
> undoing a rebase is hard

I do a lot of rebases, but they are trivial rebases in a feature branch, like changing the order of new features and fixups, and then squashing the fixups to make a nice PR. Don't try to do smart weird rebases!!!

From time to time I have to make a smart weird rebase because my small commits order is just a mess, or I have to split a commit or something unusual. The important first step is to make a new brach as a backup to hold the version before the rebase. If I mess the rebase process I can just go back to my version before the rebase and start again.

I'd like to know who originally put incompatible types of plastic under the same number, which contaminates recycling runs. Like PET/PETE under "1" and injection-molded/blow-molded HDPE under "2":

https://www.warwickri.gov/sanitation-recycling/faq/why-cant-...

Many cities have banned recycling the most commonly used plastics, like plastic water bottles made of 1 (PET). Where I live, 1 and 2 get recycled, 3 (PVC) gets thrown in a landfill and 4-7 get sent to a separate refinery which converts them to diesel fuel.

Not to mention that there seems to be no standard on the legibility of the number.

How many people reading this have thought about automating recycling by having machine learning sort the types? Yet I've never seen "recycling engineer" as a job title. Nor have I seen any grants for improving recycling. Nor any corporations/billionaires making recycling a priority. There have even been TV shows by prominent celebrities pushing propaganda against recycling, like the Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! episode from the post Dot Bomb luddite era of 2004:

We're willing to drink a protein that can degrade plastic before we're willing to hold industry accountable for the waste it produces?

We already have an outright ban for children under 13 and that hasn't been shot down on First Amendment grounds. I don't see why that number couldn't be bumped to 18.

(Technically it's not a complete ban because it has an exception for parental permission, but it's a de facto ban because companies don't want to deal with it.)
As someone who started using medical marijuana as an "older person" (though not as old as those in the study) I always find these studies frustrating.

I'm not sure if I can ever recall a single study that described the actual dosage being consumed. I have little doubt that someone taking hits off a bong all day long is going to be more likely to experience negative complications far sooner than someone eating a 5mg edible once a night.
The comment you replied to was an attempt (IMO a fairly successful one) to go one "why?" deeper on the question.

It takes as a given the article's point that the proximate cause of the issue is phone / social media centrism (IMO this is also right), but then it asks why? Why is youth culture so centered on devices and social media?

It wasn't phones or the contemporary version of social media for me (missed that by just under five years), but I already felt this when I was an adolescent. For me it was the late-90s wave of internet-connected video games, and the forums about the ones I played - absolutely a form of social media. And I very much relate to, "well what else would I be doing?". Everything else I could do required a parent to do it with me, and while they spent a huge amount of their time on involvement in fruitful things for me to do, in the form of things like sports and organized group activities (boy scouts, etc.), they also very reasonably had their own lives and couldn't just chaperone their kids all night every night and all day every weekend day. And then, what in the world else was I going to do? Where could I go to just hang out with friends, when I was 13, and what could we do on our own? Nowhere and nothing. My impression is that this has only gotten worse.

The respite from this was college, and I'm convinced this is why pretty much everyone fortunate enough to go to a residential college looks back on it very fondly. Colleges have everything their students need, within short walks, and like an infinite number of places for young people to just independently hang out with each other, without having to pay for anything. It's such a revelation! But you do that for just a few years, and then you discover that it only worked because it was absurdly subsidized, either by someone else - parents, taxpayers, wealthy scholarship / grant funders - or by your own future earnings. And out in the real world, all the gathering spaces - bars, coffee shops, restaurants - suddenly become impractically expensive, and all the distances between people become impractically large.
Rapyd API Request Signatures in PHP
n this article, you’ll learn how to implement request signatures in PHP in order to authenticate and send requests to the Rapyd API. To do so, you’ll create a fresh PHP application that sends requests to the Rapyd API to retrieve the available payment methods for a specific country and displays the response in HTML. PHP powers applications like Facebook, Wordpress, Wikipedia, Slack, Mailchimp, and Etsy. Creating an integration with the Rapyd API can help connect applications around the world.

...which still results in safer cars overall, so I don't see the problem. Especially if those cars are almost completely immune to side-impact collisions and if it's actually not a car company but a technology every manufacturer can use for future products.
We do hear about the ones with good opsec too, sometimes. For example, Alphabay(darknet drug dealing site) got rolled up, the #1 was going to jail for a long time before committing suicide, but the #2 - DeSnake, remained anonymous and free. Then, a few years later, he relaunched Alphabay and I'm fairly certain law enforcement still has no idea who or where he is.
We’re always using perception, of course, but we can learn about inaccuracies in one perception using a different perception (and reason). A very obvious example is optical illusions, but this is in fact the case with all observations. To make scientific conclusions from observations made using a telescope, you need to know how the telescope works. And the same is true of all observations from all instruments, including for example the human visual system.
> why does it matter that the git history is “clean”?

Makes reviewing a set of changes prior to a merge much easier. It's nice if there's a 1:1 correlation between a commit message and the actual patch contents.

Im sure you've dealt with the case of reviewing a colleague's changes with a commit message like "Enable logging in foobar module" and the patch is actually enabling foobar logging and a bunch of other stuff.

This makes bisecting your git history to identify and fix bugs much more difficult.

If the git history is clean, you can just read the commit messages and implicitly trust the developer if clean git hygiene is in place (as opposed to actually needing to read the whole diff on a per-commit basis to find out what _actually_ happen at commit XYZ, despite it's message).
Yes, that is an improvement, but that improvement ends at the boundary of proprietary forks that pay their way out of copyleft.

Encouraging corporations to pollute the Matrix network with proprietary clients will surely introduce fragmentation to the overall ecosystem. This will only hurt end users.

The other side of the coin is that Element will be in a stable position to pay its devs, which is great! Regardless of that, I'm not a fan of this strategy. Hopefully it will pan out well enough that proprietary forks fail to compete with Element's AGPL repo.
