I perceive my name to be how it is pronounced, with writing being secondary. Interesting that others see it the opposite way. Maybe related: I remember stuff best when it's spoken, whereas apparently most people learn best when they read it or hear+write_along. I'm not dyslexic so it's not that I don't read well or anything, but still, audio seems to be my brain-compatible format.

When someone says luke, yeah I'll get it and I definitely don't mind, but IPA /lyk/ or French Luc is what my name is. Apparently the /y/ sound just doesn't exist in most languages I interact with and that makes it impossible for virtually any non-French/Dutch person to pronounce it properly. I don't fault them, I don't mind, but I appreciate if someone makes an effort (even if it's wrong, it's only about trying) to call me by my name rather than by a translation thereof.

(Edit: wtf, don't trust tools like http://ipa-reader.xyz that is near the top of search results. The default american voice pronounces /y/ like the "o" in "who". What's the point of IPA reader if you're going to pronounce an A like a B when your language doesn't have the A sound?! Accent is fine but don't change the sound to a different IPA character altogether... For the symbols /lyk/, I've tested all voices: Dutch, French (+Canadian), Icelandic, German, Norwegian, Turkish, and Swedish are correct, whereas English, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese incorrectly read the IPA. Some others are glitchy or mixed results between male/female voices.)
It's so funny to me seeing variations of this post in response to anything related to what could be seen as a weakness to the actions taken after acquisition, while also seeing this in posts promoting twitters relative stability. It's just so transparent to what your motivation is and laughably pathetic how you feel the need to reaffirm and defend your stance on musk (lowercase) at any opportunity that projects any positivity on his decision making.

Oh, right, the topic that neither of us were actually taking about. Yep, I don't think anyone reasonably minded would be using a twitter tor exit node with twitters current reputation. Probably best to remove a service that no one would ever trust you enough to use.

As an EE/firmware engineer working in the field, don't listen to the naysayers. Just because it's not some 10 layer RF board doesn't mean it's not a rewarding project and a worthwhile product. For the record, the products we design and assemble in-house are only 4 layer boards, and our business is doing just fine.There's too much elitism in engineering. I think the article is awesome; you found out a lot of pain points that I deal with regularly.

People don't even have the same facts to base distinct opinions from. If one side's collection of facts differ from another, there is no hope to reach any sort of agreement. The whole propaganda thing is orchestrated to convince bystanders, a large silent majority, so having them all the facts is what this process about. The influencers might not change their position but the bystanders will not be enthusiastic to the same degree especially when they have both sides's facts. If this happens consistently, the debate would have advanced to a more nuanced take. It is hard to be violent and morally upright about it when you also know about your own shortcomings.

That's actually exactly the opposite of what I was talking about. The Real ID act was an act of congress which was then passed down and the states were told to eventually adopt it.

That's not the type of solution I'm talking about.

I'm talking about having an independent standards organisation (hell even NIST) produce a standard that supports federation and gradual onboarding by states and territories and then having the states each adopt it until it becomes a defacto national standard without any congressional involvement beyond the federal government also agreeing to accept it.

Real ID is a mess because it's not an ID system. It's really just an ID card system with a few other bits attached to address specific federal government concerns. That's not meaningfully useful for providing unique (and preferably privacy preserving) identifiers for companies, banks, and other non-government entities like what many european countries have.
Edit: He says he posted this literally yesterday. LOL
I think it's also the case that multiple concepts end up manifesting in ways that we can't envision or simply don't consider (see Marshall McLuhan).

Saying c as “the speed of light” is an easier thing to comprehend than c as “the speed of causality” which is really what it is. It so happens that photons travel at the speed of causality so we can get away with saying the speed of light.

I’ve always had a problem with the speed of light being the ultimate speed limit in the universe. I would think “who granted the photon this authority?”. It wasn’t until I watched a lot of pbs space time YouTube’s that I learned what people really meant was the speed of causality is the ultimate speed limit. That makes more sense to me.

There is only one definition. If someone doesn’t know the term, they can look it up. Your original comment claimed that it means different things in different countries, but that just doesn’t seem to be the case. The term seems like the appropriate English translation, even if it doesn’t exist in the UK.

When companies get more extreme with attempts to increase ad revenue, it leads me to believe they're getting squeezed for profits and this is a last ditch effort.

And when companies all over are doing it at the same time feels like a "recession" or whatever is looming.

Because handling errors is important for complex programs. Whether errors-as-values or exceptions or aborts are the best option, being able to write a program that handles errors well makes it that much more robust. Don't want some weird behavior happening when the program should've noticed an error and dealt with it somehow.

First of all, $25/month for an Experian product? I can't possibly fathom how anything they provide can be worth even 1/100th of that. That price just absolutely blows my mind.

But worst of all, they proudly say it is $0.00 and have the pay button the most prominent. How many people get roped into this? They are just slime all the way down.
> The reality is that men are hurting and that the whole culture responds to them by saying, “Please do not tell us what you feel.” I have always been a fan of the Sylvia cartoon where two women sit, one looking into a crystal ball as the other woman says, “He never talks about his feelings.” And the woman who can see the future says, “At two P.M. all over the world men will begin to talk about their feelings—and women all over the world will be sorry.”

Alcohol and caffeine are also vasoconstrictors in high usage one would associate with addiction (they seem to have a lot of paradoxical effects depending on dosage/habit).

$50k seems at least four or five orders of magnitude too low to be of any concern to them
The problem with this analysis is that existing renewable capacity was largely constructed during a time when renewables cost dramatically more than fossil energy and nuclear. We’re now moving into a period where they cost dramatically less, and the capacity to build them is vastly greater. We’ve already passed the tipping point for most types of generation, and the cost decreases don’t seem poised to stop. So it’s sort of like watching the first generation of inexpensive Intel PC CPUs roll out of the fab, while simultaneously pointing out that PCs were too expensive to get much adoption in the past. Technically a valid thing to observe, but also not really useful.

To give you some sense of the enormity of the change, China over the first 9 months of 2023 built 215 TWh of wind and PV (numbers already adjusted for capacity factor), which eclipses the combined 206 TWh of every single nuclear power plant they have under construction today (there are 26 of them.)
Wat? Blenders UI was revamped. Even so, prior to the rewrite it wasn’t such a sorry mess as Gimp, it already had some professional adoption.

And my point is, regardless of those claiming gimp sucks because it’s not what they’re used to: it absolutely does not matter an iota because there is near universal acceptance that it’s terrible for anything but toy work. UI aside, internally it isn’t fantastic either, a problem that blender didn’t have.

(author here) - I've also found this to be true. The most confounding aspects of elixir tend to be choices made to fit a square object into a round hole. For example, creating interfaces over functions so Hammox can mock them in your tests. It creates a lot of frustrating boilerplate and suddenly your actual code gets lost in the noise of indirection.
As per usual, science reporting fails to use precise language. It can be interpreted either way, although I think your interpretation is the slightly larger leap based on phrasing. In any case, it is far below the 70% (and not directed broadly at all scientific research) that GP states.

The Architecture of Open Source Applications has some great lessens learned. It's also free: https://aosabook.org/en/ .

I don't think there are lots of examples of the distributed systems discussion though, since most of the writing is about how to structure the source code of a single program. That's not unrelated, since most of what you're asking about is how different interfaces or modules should interact. In a distributed system, that happens over RPCs, but it can just as easily happen within a program with separate threads.

Note: they've added some other books, which show up at the top of the page, but I've only read select chapters from AOSA Volume 1.

This isn’t about more laws, but about fair enforcement of existing ones. Workers, regardless of their immigration status, should have the right to decent working conditions and fair wages.

I for one look forward the most to seeing the equivalent of the F-Droid store coming to iOS. Either from the people behind the original F-Droid, or from some group of people with similar ideals like them.

However, I wonder if that will enable apps that corporations don’t want to exist, to exist on iOS. I.e. BitTorrent clients, alternate YouTube frontends that use yt-dlp to play YouTube videos without ads, etc.

The apps still need to be signed with a developer account right? And so Apple will still be able to deny signing certain apps / blacklist those apps when they receive complaints, right?

Just to clarify your clarification, it means in this particular case the authors performed controlled experiments that attempted to account for other factors that might explain the difference they found.

Of course people have talked about difference between genders since... forever, but women have also experienced a significant amount of very real discrimination and that almost certainly has also had an influence on that narrative.
Electricity is getting cheaper as we go. It’s already passed close, and there are not a lot of incentives to pro-actively switch, but there is an incentive to get an electric car when you change; to get a heat pump when your heater stops working; better insulation, always; to buy a solar panel and a battery after a blackout…

This wouldn’t need much, and the handful of people who control America, a lot of them are making money from some of those four changes.

> Shit won’t hit the fan until everybody alive today is dead.

That’s radically not true: millions of people have died because of the consequence of global warming already, but I’ve learned the hard way not to debate with climate deniers.

The real incentive to get out now is to have people who suffer visibly and directly from the consequences of fossil fuel extraction: cancer alley in Louisiana; children who grew up next to highways and also have cancer; people poisoned by oil spills and pipeline leaks; people who lost their water table to fracking; those people have grounds to sue, a press that interested in covering their case. They will make exploiting oil more and more expensive. How much depends on lobbying–you are right about that. However, I suspect judges won’t all be compliant to suggestions that cancer patients are already dead, and asking businesses to pay their heirs real money isn’t ethical. The alternative will increasingly look like business as usual, and many more people will be sacrificed the same way. Each slap on the wrist will look increasingly appealable.

Those directly affected will soon be joined by people who had their livelihoods destroyed by global warming through forest fires, floods, and hurricanes to join them. Individually, I agree that’s not very influential, but one of two things might happen:

* Insurance companies are one of the really big players in this world. If they are forced to keep policies and pay, they might start some actual lobbying to prevent the worst. That means an all-out board-room war against fossil fuel. That sounds unlikely unless you count some big clients that can’t just ignore the problem, like Disney, or anyone with a big footprint in California, Florida, Louisiana, etc. That’s enough of the Fortune 500 to justify some coordination and to build an interest in not abandoning the coast to storms.

* More likely, insurance companies will drop many of their smaller clients. A large grassroots movement might grow — not of toothless people in caravans on tornado alley, but real-estate promoters who can’t insure and therefore can build, resell, and renovate their property. They could and already do catastrophe adaptation. It works now, but that math won’t last long: they’ll need hurricanes to slow down, flood, and heatwaves too. They’ll also rapidly find that companies like McDonald’s care about not having their restaurants blown away too—and they are around the globe.
