Out of all the social platforms around, I think Reddit has the best model for organizing and segmenting content and user-based content control... I'm not referring to the mobile app of course, but the desktop version allows the user to control what they see for the most part, outside of not being able to block undesirable subreddits. With Ad Block (of course) it is fairly enjoyable, outside of the occasional unexpected (NSFW) snuff clips you see on it for absolutely no good reason.

My preferred way of viewing reddit content when I am not using the old reddit desktop version with RES is usually on "redditp.com". Reddit is not great mind you, there's plenty of room for improvement, but it's a welcome break from the ultra-repetitive and deeply psychologically manipulative ad laced feeds that TikTok and Instagram have. Redditp.com is a video and picture scroller that is also customizable by modifying the site URL, so content from specific subreddits can be viewed on it by scrolling rather than by expanding each individual post.

They really need a UI that allows subreddit titles to be selectable on it. They also need to reign in moderators that strictly control subreddits to enrich themselves and shut out others mind you...

The desktop experience on Reddit needs to be protected at all costs, everybody is trying to turn Social Media into dictatorial Cable TV with Commercials (where you have no control over what you see) everywhere now.
Ah got it. For a second i thought markdown support had been expanded.
There is a for-profit pseudo-science, much like the anti-gay camps of the 1980s, which is spreading unsupported claims using words like "addiction" in contexts where the medical regulatory bodies and journal literature don't believe the concept applies. These people prey on the irrational behavior of parents scared for their children and try to convince them that things like addiction to a website on a screen is possible. They write popular press books, go on talk shows, etc, to keep the meme (and their funding sources) alive. But the DSM and ICD just don't support it. Neither do the recent literature; at least if you stay out of the pay for publish 3rd tier "journals" these scammers submit their "science" to. And yes, it even applies to media personalities associated with Stanford.
GNOME ships a scanner app that can scan from many (newish) networked scanners without a driver. The UI is, ahem, about as minimal as you would expect from a GNOME app, but it works.

(Seriously, GNOME, whether to scan one side or two sides is actually important and the desired mode changes all the time. Would it kill you to dedicate some screen real estate to it, instead of filling everything with empty post-modern white space?)
Some of the most productive teams I've worked with (not as a dev) have been for tech stacks I personally don't enjoy using. Java, .NET/C#, React, etc. In practice, I'd rather quickly hire a local senior Java/C# dev for 1X than scour the interwebs to hire a Golang dev that requires relocation for 1.5-2X.

If I was going to learn a language though, I'd probably learn Golang. Their rate is so much higher.
Personally I think this is too pessimistic. People will react and there are countermeasures. Maybe we will stop trusting whatever page comes up on a web search or random comments or audio and video from unknown sources, and instead put more emphasis on the source of things.
In those situations I make use of comments to force new lines where I want them. Stupid but it works!
I want my stuff/money back.

As the Rolling Stones pointed out years ago (maybe before you were born), "You can't always get what you want" --- yadda, yadda, etc., etc..

It is not just about giving you what you want. The fact that *legal* retribution of some sort applies if someone takes or destroys your stuff is a defining characteristic of "ownership".
Isn't heavenbanning trivially circumvented by an incognito window and a VPN? I've occasionally checked my reddit comments when not logged in to discover when my replies are hidden or collapsed.

If generated content becomes so prevalent online, I suspect people will put more weight onto real world interaction. Or at least real-world validation on online interactions. I can imagine a world where user tokens are handed out at a conference and required to access a forum. Sure, someone could hand their token off to a bot, but that'd tank their credibility.
Compact 3D Gaussian Representation for Radiance Field
I used to work for a division of State Farm insurance which ran into some similar issues with addresses on or close to state lines. Insurance is also one of those businesses that's very particular about location, as we were only approved to do business in certain states.

The solution we ended up going with was to use the free Tiger shape files from the US Census (https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series...), which enabled us to statically "lock" our geocordinates. Apart from filing our approach and getting it approved, the logic was that we could always point back to it being a government database if there was ever a problem.
To be fair I have the same experience with my HP LaserJet Pro (M148).

As far as I can see, web components take only strings as arguments. That alone disqualifies them from being a serious component framework. I've looked at them only for a short time last month, because I was excited about a web native component framework, but they provide basically nothing I would expect from such a framework. They are not even in the same arena as React.
Isn't this largely a US phenomenon?

Some people imagine AI will soon be a bit like being able to go to a university professor's office hours to ask questions and get detailed expert advice on any part of the undergraduate curriculum you're struggling with.

Except it'll be available 24/7 and you won't have to pass exams, spend $$$$, attend full time, and live in dorms and be in your late teens or early 20s to get access.
Metal Gear Solid 2 was so ahead of its time. I thought the story was so out-there and sci-fi when I originally played it. Now I just think Kojima successfully predicted the logical conclusion of the internet age.
Cool!

We'll have bigger fish to fry when they skip prompt injection, and go straight to cloning our voices themselves.
I think OP is imagining Snake Plissken saying 'Metal Gear', as he does
This makes it out to be so much worse than it actually is.

It's good at what it does - serving media to all your devices. No online accounts, no phoning home, no advertisement, no BS. I've had no trouble with either the web UI or any of the apps available on android/TV. Admittedly I've never used Plex but I can't imagine it doing any of that much better.
My guess is that set has higher resolution images, just because it can.

What I like about this quote is that it embodies Stroustrup’s personal attitude. He’s ultimately pragmatic. Nothing can be perfect — including C++ by his own admission. It’s aligned well with his other writings and with his commentary on the quotes page, particularly where he says that he tries not to be rude about other languages.
You should care because it will save the average western family ~$5k/year and reduce the 1.5million fatal accidents and >10million serious injuries that result from car crashes worldwide.

Just the insurance savings alone could give up to $800 billion back to rate payers in the US.
I did a bit of a deep dive on this over the weekend and left feeling more confused than when I started. From what I can gather, outside of CN's holiday freight train, most of the tracking is done by community members with SDR antennas and Raspberry Pis. They report to centralized servers (which I've yet to find), and the data indicates where trains are in signalling blocks. I'm the least knowledgeable person on trains, so I don't know if this is all accurate, but that's my best understanding.

I'd love to build some sort of service that takes this data, references a DB of signaling blocks, and establishes an estimated lat/lng - but that's a huge project of its own.
Some, someday? Most are already not available, it's about half of all produced that are available. There are online archives that try to assemble access to many of these lost or otherwise inaccessible films or other media, but they get shut down or lock access over time.
Jellyfin works well. A feature I'd like to see though is more thumbnail generation that's not chapter based.
Add a comment anywhere in the destructuring and it will force each property onto its own line.
So in the course of trying Infuse I had to link it to Plex, which to do that they direct you to plex.tv/link (which to reaffirm what I said in my initial comment, this just shouldn't be needed, why can't I just add my plex server details in the app but that's not Infuse's fault) so I go to plex.tv/link and the form breaks immediately, with a box to input the code and a spinner saying it's checking the code I haven't entered, I enter the code and hit enter, I'm prompted to create an account, NOT sign in even though I was directed here by a link page which just strikes me as wrong, I have to click an extra thing to get a sign in form, which I do, then it takes me BACK to the link page, where I put in the code to the still broken form, hit enter, then it reloads the link page, now that's fixed at least, so I enter the code a THIRD TIME to accomplish this very straightforward fucking task, and it FINALLY links to my plex server.

And I only share this both to bitch my way to a small amount of catharsis and also this is such a handy encapsulation of the enshittification of plex I've witnessed over the many years I've used it. God fucking damn.

And to reaffirm: All the plex linking does is inform Infuse of my local server's settings which I could've just TYPED. THE FUCK. IN. With my iPhone. Sweet Baby Ray's.
If you are willing to compromise on your freedom on anything, it just means that you are okay with being restricted as long as the cage is comfortable. That's not a heresy, but it is incredibly sad.

Most of the text felt AI generated as well.
Sad state of PWA: we can send messages to thousands of browsers, but still cannot fire single local alarm on local device which is offline.
The sad thing is that many people make language decisions on the beginner topics like syntax , literals, hello world or trivial samples.

Sure a 20 line python app will be 40 lines in Golang, but that doesn’t mean 10k lines of python are 20k lines in golang. And there are way more serious considerations than LOC.

Golang concurrency is amazing. You can reproduce an entire multi-core application stack with concurrent IO and CPU in a single binary.

When you realize how much code is wasted on config, RPC, encode-decode, code-generation, concurrency & locking – you want a language that reduces the need for those things (or makes them really easy).

If null-terminated strings are already a thing in your language and you can just pass an inlined string to whatever function without any bit manipulation I fail to see the downside.
Thanks for this -- it's really great!

One thing I noticed is that the post is very first-principles right up to where it reaches exponential backoff. At that point, it quickly jumps to "and here's exponential backoff and here's some good parameters". But I've worked on a lot of systems that got those wrong. In both directions: too-short caps that were insufficient for the underlying system to recover and too-long caps so that even when the servers _did_ recover, clients weren't even going to try again for way too long (e.g., 2 days). It'd be neat to have another section or two exploring those tradeoffs.

I really want one of these visual explorations for the idea of margin. Concretely: it's common to have systems at, say, 88% CPU utilization that appear to be working great. Then you ramp them up to like 92% and start seeing latency bubbles of multiple seconds or even tens of seconds. We tend to think of that idle time as waste, but it's essential for surviving transient blips in load. I increasingly feel like this concept is really fundamental and ought to be taught in like high school because it applies so many places (e.g., emergency funds, in the realm of personal finance).
This isn't just a JSX problem. This is in any language that once you go over the column limit that it'll try to break it somewhere.
What a shame. The mighty Google is after all in the same league as some random LLC providing cloud storage for $1.99/mo.
LiteX is very neat, but at the same time is a massive pain as soon as you move past building an example SoC. I've been spending a lot of time on this recently.
I think it's due to TikTok and YouTube as well superhero movie fatigue.

I personally canceled all streaming services and binge YouTube and some TikTok /reels when not socializing with friends or family.
The problem is they can't do anything. They don't know if it's one or the other and, ultimately, it's the same thing to them.

And we aren't talking about regular users. These are workspace admins. People that are/should be technical in larger roles.

Things reverted to May. Until solved, it's just lost and you need to revert to a data loss incident - which is revert to backups... _if you have any_.
I did not notice direct data loss yet, but I noticed other behavior that made me reconsider how much I trust it.

For example in the past I had several occurrences of duplicate photos where each of the two instances has exactly the same bytes as the other one. Usually that should have gotten deduplicated, but it hasn't. What's even stranger is that deleting one of the two pictures also deleted the other one. Re-uploading the original photo usually made both duplicates show up again. The way how I was able to get rid of those duplicates was to wait a day or so until I re-upload the data and to attempt that process several times. At some point only a single photo showed up.

Also those duplicates only showed up in the regular photo view. Even if both of the duplicate instances were added to an album viewing the album would only show the photo once.

There's been a steady stream of garbage "features" from Plex for a while and this is just the latest. Maybe the lifetime Plex Pass was a mistake but I bought it years ago and haven't wanted or used a single feature they've released since. A lot of folks using my server weren't stoked to get the email. I keep an eye on alternatives for when they finally push it too far. I'll bet that's going to be something like pinning one of these freebie streaming services to the top of my home screen and not letting me get rid of it. Or probably just some forced advertising somewhere.
Multiplexing requests doesn't help when there is a logical dependency between them, e.g. some javascript code needs to download and then execute just to determine what template files it needs to subsequently download. That can't be parallelized.
The siblings are correct but also not precise in a way in which could be misleading.

Rust has one built-in string type: str, commonly written &str. This is a sequence of UTF-8 encoded bytes.

Rust also has several standard library string types:

* String is an owned version of &str. Also UTF-8.

* CString/CStr: like String and &str, but null terminated, with no specific encoding

* OsString/OsStr: an "os native" encoded string, in practice, this is the WTF-8 spec.

And of course, all sorts of user library-created string types.

The issue at hand isn't that there's some sort of special string type that Rust can't represent, it's that they have an existing codebase that uses a specific string type, so they're going to keep using that type for compatibility reasons, rather than one of the more usual Rust types. This means they won't have to transcode between the two types.
Have people forgotten that they can just store files in folders on filesystems and load them over the network?

The whole sugar/candy industry is unethical in my mind. It may take some decades for society to catch up, but eventually eating sugar the way we do today will be seen like smoking and the tobacco industry.
> uBlock to intercept http requests before rendering the web page. And from my understanding this has always been supported in Firefox, but never in Chrome.

The webRequest API does allow to intercept and cancel HTTP requests, it has been part of Chrome extensions API since 2011.
What are you stating? I genuinely don't get the point. Are you saying that screens/apps don't cause addiction?
The big difference between a permissive license and a copyleft license is in the obligation of the user when modifications have been made to the code.

A permissive license may require that you make the original source code available to your users, but that does not necessarily apply to your modifications. So if, for example, I have written project X, and license it as MIT, and you add a single feature to it, and now a user wants to see the source code, then you can give them the original code to project X, but you are not required to provide the code for your privately developed feature.

Conversely, with a copyleft license, in the same scenario, you would be required to release the code for your privately developed feature as well to your customer. Moreover, they would then be able to freely distribute that source code as well, including your privately developed feature. That is why the copyleft licenses are often defined as being viral or infectious, because they propagate to whatever code they come into contact with.

So then, the question of boundaries comes into play. What if the software is on another system? For example, you write program Y, and it calls system X across the network. With the GPL version 2, the copy left license does not cross the network barrier. Agpl, however, removes this barrier, making the virality of project X extend to program Y.

In short, copyleft is generally hostile to any proprietary use, and many companies won't touch it for any software that must be distributed to customers. Again, this aligns with some people's political and philosophical wishes, so they do not see a problem with this.

In short, permissive versus copyleft is a fundamental difference in how freedom is defined. The permissive license gives you the freedom to use software however you see fit. The copyleft license tries to eliminate the possibility of proprietary control. It's really two different sides of freedom. Permissive is freedom of the individual from control of the many. Copyleft is freedom of the many from control of the one.

I couldn't find the answer - does Biome work with a prettierrc.json file so that it can be implemented in an organisation that uses Prettier? In this case it would only be for speed reasons, not the formatting.
I assume it would be less about the dominance of passanger displacing freight and more about scale/distance. Germany is smaller than Texas (half the area). How often is it economical to put stuff on trains before loading them on trucks again for distances sub 1000km?
A good follow-up question would be old-fashioned user satisfaction. For instance, I personally despise our leading newspaper's recommender system, as it spits out full-scale annoyances, including, e.g., articles that I've already read. But that's what you get when you only optimize for clicks, I guess.
One of the comments on that post links to a comment on a different post describing the horrors of AUTOSAR [1], pretty funny, but also not funny at all as this is the sort of crap our whole world has been made to be.

I think the key question is how robust a type system can be while keeping compilation extremely fast. Slow compilation absolutely destroys developer productivity.
Nerd sniping is incredibly effective. I would say it's abused quite often too.

I don't know what to say other than, if these people are out of a job, and you're a company funding prettier or need good JS people, please hire them.
My concern would be more that it is entraining a sort of consumerist outlook, where corporate values are instilled into a child, rather than addiction. That has always been the case of course, with education preparing the new generation for the workforce. But the use of technology disintermediates the parent from that process.

That's true, but the flip side is selecting heavily for public commentary from people who are already invested in—or at least generally open to—the tool in question. But, of course, that means selecting heavily against the people who see immediate, significant problems!

I've run into this problem repeatedly on Goodreads where wholly mediocre works get high ratings because of aggressive selection bias. I generally like fantasy, but I've stumbled on some painful stinkers thanks to this dynamic.

It's doubly reasonable to value first opinions on languages like Go since they intentionally aren't doing anything fundamentally novel. With a handful of exceptions, Go is a remix of ideas from mainstream languages that we've all seen before. It is about as far from a new paradigm for programming as you can get, and that's the point! Hell, that's the main thing people praise about the language: "I could pick Go up immediately, without needing to learn anything new"...
Also, the entire OP article is demonstrating this... I'm not sure many of the comments here actually read it...
