I wonder if this being fixed will result in it displacing some notable amount of made-for-realtime hardware/software combos. Especially since there's now lots of cheap, relatively low power, and high clock rate ARM and x86 chips to choose from. With the clock rates so high, perfect real-time becomes less important as you would often have many cycles to spare for misses.

I understand it's less elegant, efficient, etc. But sometimes commodity wins over correctness.
I've never understood that American obsession with drawing distinct lines between people born in different decades. Boomers, X-ers, millennials, Z-ers are treated like different dog breeds when they are all individual people with varying socio-economic backgrounds.
Cosmic Vine: Astronomers via JWST find large structure with 20 galaxies
I'm less bugged by the hand-wringing on the right about how terrible this will be for the economy, and more by the left's failure to acknowledge it.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 was sunk in part by a revolt from the left wing of the Democratic party who felt she was too conservative. Their alternative was Bernie Sanders, who comes closer to being genuinely left wing.

It's not just that this gave us the far-right Trump as an alternative -- which, among other things, means a far-right Supreme Court until all the young Bernie fans are on social security. It's also that even when Biden does give them the things that they want, like student loan forgiveness, they still don't support him.

Cynically, it looks less like a sincere support for left-wing issues, and more like contrarianism. They can pat themselves on the back for avoiding taking any responsibility for actually running the country, even while bad-mouthing candidates who would give them some of what they want. The result is a system that gives them the opposite of what they want, making their own lives worse by their own standards, as well as the lives of many others.

The Democratic party lives in rather a quandary. It can't trust its left wing -- they demand to be pandered to but don't seem to return that with votes. They think of themselves as centrist, but are constantly badgered for being too right-wing by the left, while at the same time described as far-far-far-left by right-wing commentators who cherry-pick individuals with little power.

I have no idea if forgiving student loan debt is the correct thing to do. College pricing has clearly gotten out of hand, and student loans are one contribution to that. We need to fix this going forward as well as resolving the deep holes that the situation has gotten people into.

And that just gets harder when the nominally left-leaning people don't help even when they're given what they asked for.
Really? I find that it makes it so much more pleasant and easy to read. I read it much faster than I would have without bold. The author is telling you which parts of the sentence are most important, so your brain frees up that processing part where you have to figure that out.
Then become politically active and make sure we have a strong safety net with healthy labor rights that allow everyone to have ample free time. You don't ban music production software.
You are missing a huge caveat of those tools. They tend to have limits in functionality.

It isn't uncommon that you prototype with a tool and it is super fast but before you can launch for real you need to rewrite everything.

At that point it is difficult to know if the prototype was valuable. Certainly quickly visualizing is good but a prototype tool that is non functional is even faster to use.

Having a tool that allows easy drag and drop without any friction on the generated code (including difficulty of using that code) while also having all the powers of HTML would be really cool.

Such a tool wouldn't be a beginner tool but any that fail this and can't really go all the way to final product gets discarded as "I am going to have to rewrite anyway".

Less of a "I am too good for that" more a "not a useful abstractions level" when considered holistically.
Its not just boomers. Recently was in a major US city, a walkable one, for a work offsite. The plan was office -> happy hour -> dinner. We're talking a 7-12 min walk MAX between places. Entire team insists on Ubering everywhere. Everyone is under 40 years old, mostly out of shape/overweight, but not terribly so. Certainly capable of walking a few hundred steps. I suggested walking and was met with "company is paying for everything, so lets just uber". Ironically, a few people on this team complain about car culture and walkability.
Disagree entirely.
In terms of whether these things actually make a difference in how likely a child is to seem "ADHD" - yes, really. Controlling inhibitions and not being on a constant insulin spike ride from snacking helps stay focused.

I have also had a number of friends with "ADHD" for whom the solution was "cut sugar, sleep enough, go into a room with no electronics (or a user account with nothing else installed), do some cardio".

I am not denying the existence of ADHD, but as a society, we look for shortcuts to problems that have real solutions and are therefore more likely to just pop a pill. See the sister comment, it addresses this too.

And furthermore - yes, cutting screen time in children dramatically increases their ability to focus later in life.
> Silently huge issue: Kids today cannot walk. I know many that won't walk a single block. It's why they want parking right up to the door, won't take transit, etc - but it's never the given reason.
> Unlikely. Most people care about network effect more than they care about authenticity.

I think that's excessively cynical take. "People" might care about network effects more than a lot of other things technology people thing they should care about, but I don't think that will extend to socializing with networks of bots.

A lot of tech people tend to focus too much on surface appearances and neglect social context. A connection with a bot is not equivalent to a connection with a real person, even when a tech person can't distinguish the posts.
What does "lighter weight" mean?

Smaller install size? Smaller memory footprint? Schemaless?
I use a ton of RDP over high latency low bandwidth connections. I think it works great. The pain points are application UIs that insist on doing fade effects or animations. That crap makes an RDP connection highly unusable. Using a browser across RDP to access any "modern" website is an exercise in frustration because of this.
This makes the large, recent rise in pedestrian deaths all the more concerning, given that it happens as people are walking _less_.

Whenever I visit the US I'm horrified at the pedestrian-crushing machines people use for personal transport.
"Directive" -- Wall-E
why are americans so addicted to adderall
They are probably still working, but you’ll never get the same rush of excitement/euphoria that you felt in the first few months.

The euphoria is a negative side effect in my opinion. That’s what leads to abuse and addiction. Don’t chase it!

I’m sure you’ve heard all this before, but make sure you’re getting enough sleep and exercise. Also, avoid acidic drinks in the morning like coffee and OJ when taking your medication. The acid can break down some of the medication before your body has a chance to absorb it.
BlackCat plays with malvertising traps to lure corporate victims
Out of curiosity, what's the opinion of the "generic, politically-apathetic Israeli" (inasmuch as such exists) on Israeli protesters supporting Palestinian rights (in whatever form)?

Is there room for them being viewed as loyal opposition? Or does the current climate make all-people-have-rights viewpoints rub folks the wrong way?

During the beginning of the 2003 Iraq war in the US, there was a marked shift to "It may be bad... but now isn't the time to say anything. Be patriotic." And that wasn't even directly linked to an attack on national soil, like Israel faced!
OpenAI Just Killed an Entire Market in 45 Minutes
Fascinatingly, ARM (aarch64) can also do either; while the only operating system I know about that uses this fact is NetBSD, I have actually run that in big endian mode on a Raspberry Pi (3b) and it does actually work.
Another option is simply to print less, but expose more events in the form of counters.

Unfortunately, within a kernel that’s as big as Linux, that would leave you with many, many, many counters. All of which need to be exported and monitored somehow.
no, this is sadly classism at play. the 'you are walking and bad' comes from only poors can't afford a car, and poors are violent. so clearly you walking is a form of violence against the community, so we send out a cop with a right to eliminate you to verify that you aren't as poor as they fear!

it's really cool

Blue states also tend to be more urban than red states.
You can't make your own luck but you can always be preparing for the things you want.

You can make a choice to decide what your goals for success really are. In that you can choose to remove the burden of struggle and pain pursuing something you no longer want, and instead sail into prevailing winds even though they aren't going the direction you started out in.

Being willing to let go of things is hard too. You can prevent yourself from capitalizing on luck by stubbornly refusing to consider any outcome other than the one you NEED.

Anybody can experience luck but you also need to actualize on it. When you are in the thick of depression and struggle it can be literally impossible to either see or make use of the luck you have.

Sometimes in the middle of the deepest, darkest shit you just gotta stop being sorry for yourself and make a conscious choice to be thankful for what you do have, even if it's not much. Finding ways to practice gratitude and self compassion will help you have compassion for others. It's like unclenching the fist of pain and anger that depression twisted you into.

Expectations are the enemy of luck. You DO have some control over how your brain processes the experience, and how you subsequently behave. You can drive the meat skeleton in a positive way regardless of bumpy roads.
I find it hugely irritating.
Of course, the poster said overweight or obese, and they would be right.

I often wonder about this with me. I've got various hallmarks of ADHD (especially after my SO was diagnosed), but generally i'm productive.

In this specific case, i can't figure out if it's something like ADHD that drives this behavior _or_ just normal human avoidance of work i dislike.

Ie i of course don't have this problem when it's an interesting problem. I also tend not to have this problem after i get started, since most larger domains have interesting subdomains. Difficulty (read: vagueness, scope issues, etc) definitely lead to more of this for me though.

Human brains are weird.
Sorry, I am deeply skeptical that the first event happened. The police in the US do not have the right to stop individuals without reasonable suspicion of a crime.
No way to do responsive interfaces?

Oh sweet summer child. (if you are going to call us weirdly nostalgic)

There were ton's of methods - from extremely manual code-based detection of window resizing events, then subsequent calculating and scaling contained controls, to a myriad of third-party libraries/components that would provide an automatic resizable host container for other controls.

Localization was not a problem - VB6 supported 'resource files' like every other Win32 app. Unit and integration tests were possible - but uglier with visual forms - typically requiring third-party products, and/or low-level Win32-API integrations. But in reality - you would abstract all of your business logic into classes/modules/units with very little within the UI, so that those would be unit-tested, instead of the UI.

Now - don't get me wrong, VB was limited in many many ways, and I am not nostalgic for it - but, it was more capable than the picture you are painting. Delphi even moreso, as it had easy and direct access to the entire Win32 API and could handle threading and pointers as well.

AI copyright row deepens: Stability VP quits in protest over 'fair use' excuse
The USA list is an interesting conflation of what I think are two distinct classes of error: ones which can be made impossible with the right processes followed correctly, and ones which can't.

"Wrong site surgery", "retained instrument post-operation", "infant discharged to wrong person", sure, absolutely agree processes can and should be such that this can literally never happen.

On the other hand, "Intraoperative or immediately postoperative death in an ASA Class I patient" seems like one which is ultimately in the lap of the gods: we certainly can and should make those odds really good (maybe much better than they currently are) by improving processes and ranking surgeons by their error statistics and so on. But sometimes people do just die, and the best surgeon could make a one-in-one-thousand slip of the hand (because human bodies just aren't built for such perfect fine motor control). And "serious injury or death associated with a fall": again, I'm not sure there are processes even in principle which could prevent a determined patient from injuring themselves by taking a fall, short of tying them to the bed or otherwise disabling them. There's a solid chance I, a basically-healthy patient in a ward, could be socially engineered into helping the miserable elderly patient next door to get out of bed for a short walk; so now your processes need to be robust to having young healthy people actively trying to break them! This problem seems not like the others.
My email signature sometimes says "software done right is always solving novel problems." I wish people always had the time and mandate to find the simple generization of their sequence of one offs.
The poster you're responding to said obese or overweight. Maybe they edited after you responded?
I once ran the daily trade reconciliation of an entire US primary exchange on my laptop, using a PERL script (in 2007). I wrote it in a couple of days, and each day's processing ran in minutes. Ten years later, I witnessed a team spending weeks spinning up spark clusters to perform a job that was significantly smaller. At the time I thought I was the person who was missing some important context. Now I'm beginning to realise that I was not in fact misinformed or insane.

A friend of mine has experienced Never Event #8 (Surgery performed on the wrong body part), went in for work on a tendon in her right ankle, woke up with a cast on the left leg.

Electronic Frontier Foundation survey hosted on Microsoft servers
Today I received an invitation from EFF to fill out their survey. I was shocked to see that it's hosted on Microsoft servers. Someone on reddit opened a discussion about this too (title link), criticizing being subjected to Microsoft ToS.

I opened the survey to see just how privacy-unfriendly it really is. This is what I found:

The survey asks very ad-relevant questions such as age group, gender, race, education, housing, INCOME!, employment, etc. And then they ask questions that are very relevant to Microsoft platforms, such as where I read my news, what social platform I visit, etc. And to finish with a bang, they ask my political affiliation.

How could they do this? Is there no supervision/review in EFF? Were they paid or was the survey author corrupted by Microsoft?

I guess it could have been worse - hosted on Google servers...
Having been on Adderall I agree with most here that it increases my executive function but doesn’t really make me smarter.

I have a long history of experimenting with both legal and illicit drugs and the only one I found to actually significantly increase my cognitive ability to solve complex problems is low dose Ketamine. Low dose lsd/shrooms as well but to a much lesser degree.
Thank you!

This should be already possible, but it will give you a compiler error if you use Typescript. I will add support in the next version.
Yeah, walking in the south has a similar connotation to not being fat in say, old school tribal cultures. It means your poor and up to no good. If you happened to jog that same stretch, no one would mind it. lol
You're wrong both de jure and de facto, but thanks for dropping by.

it's dietary as hell. my father was in great shape at 40, got rich and fat, and just lost a foot to type two diabetes he swears he doesn't have. idk
I am T1 diabetic, and I have been using a glucose monitor for years now.

Walking is one of my primary modes of blood sugar management. An insulin dose combined with walking leads to a much stronger response. As diabetes and other metabolic diseases are on the rise in the US, I can't help but think we should be prescribing more walking.
What’s your objection? I can’t tell if you believe (possibly with evidence/experience!) that French parents don’t do this, or that the approach is (for some reason) misguided.

It's meant for gaming with minimal input lag, so I suspect it would be better but much higher bandwidth usage too.

RDP is generally the best for low bandwidth (at least with a windows host) because it sends only the updated elements of the UI.
I'm an endurance athlete and went to Rome last year for a vacation, lots of site seeing. I was racking up 35-45k steps per day and it even tested my fitness. There's something about the heat coupled with old streets that mess your legs up. I can imagine it being very difficult for someone out of shape, or in bad health.
US citizen here in New England, I've had people flip me off twice, throw stuff at me twice (both times empty chewing tobacco containers), and yell at me many times over the past three years of regular walking.

Harassment from drivers is not an every day occurrence but it's not uncommon. Anecdata and I don't know how it compares to other nations.
Its a big country and cities are designed for cars not pedestrians. The expectation is you should be driving. Of course, thats a very different perspective from a European angle where there is more density in cities and generally better public transportation.

US and Europe are, very roughly speaking, the same size in terms of landmass but Europe has more than double the population. So US is "relatively" empty.
It was pretty obvious where this was going when they started putting ads in the subtitles a few years ago.

Settlements in the West Bank are the culprit. When settlers settle in some area, they need protection. Barriers, permanent road closures, security gates, even welding the doors facing roads that are used exclusively by non-Palestinians, surveillance-these protective measures cause huge inconvenience to non-Jewish people (both Christians and Muslims) in the West Bank.

Whether one calls it apartheid or not, Israelis and their government should find a way to resolve the problem of protecting settlers at the cost of others. Otherwise, it can create a huge backlash across the world: (a) Al Jazeera and social media have showed these to the outside world (b) support for Israel is waning in the West--especially among liberals (c) there is even less support for Israel among the younger generation in the West, so expect more backlash from the future policy makers.

this is something I have long thought about. carbs make me batty.

doing keto made my skin look much better, but also helped me focus, and I found it was easier to sleep. whenever I had cheat days and crushed like half a pizza I found I immediately was exhausted and had trouble focusing.

also coffee vs. tea. switching to tea every other day instead of coffee really dove home how much of an impact coffee has on things like serotonin[1].

This is another benefit to decent bike infrastructure. One of the dads at my daughters' school has only one leg, and his kids just ride on the scooter with him, about a mile.
Fair enough.
