Thanks for actually reading, I didn't have time and I was on mobile at the time (I had a hunch it wasn't worth it anyway).

This is not surprising and, in my opinion, completely invalidates the results. They just proved lowering caloric intake when you have too much body fat is good for you. We know that for a while now, but it's just not politically correct to say it (body shaming and all that nonsense).

And if there was a performance component to those type of studies and similar caloric intake, I believe a vegan diet wouldn't do well for both physical and intellectual activities. The following argument would be "what is the point" if it's to live a worse version of life than you could be...

In my experience many vegans are vegans because they want to diet to lose body fat but they don't want to say it and/or they are not willing to do what's necessary (good amount of physical activity with plenty cardio) or can't say no without an excuse.
To be fair some people are extremely pushy with food and if you don't agree to eat whatever good but extremely high calorie treat that is offered it becomes a problem.

But it's only a short-term fix, vegans will generally lose a decent amount of weight in the 1-2 years but will end up with a worse composition at some point. After a while they gained low weight but large bodyfat to muscle ratio and their energy expenditure that is linked to muscle mass and brain activity is way too low. So, they end up being able to consume even fewer calories and since vegan food is not inherently better, they end up in a worse situation than they started with.

Im extremely skeptical about all the "informations" on veganism. If it was so good, we wouldn't need so many "studies" the benefits would be self-evident, my experience is that it is actually hard to find benefits (even cost wise it can only compete if you have cheap energy, lots of time and lots of tools for processing).
No, that's not going to happen. Chrome replacing IE could happen only because of MSFT's strategical abandonment of their browser for sabotaging the web in favor of the Windows platform. Apple actually is well aware of this mistake and began to invest into Safari when it's clear that they cannot prevent 3rd party rendering engines forever.
> there is nothing well meaning about not teaching maths to children

It's stupid. And there is definitely corruption [1]. (Surprise, surprise, it's another Stanford researcher.) But I don't think most activists are going in to hurt children. They mean well, but wind up causing more harm than good.

What browser do you use? I'm on Firefox 120.
Yes sure, but that is not a counter argument. If James Watt et al did not invent the steam engine, someone else would
Same. Activated Google Account sign-in prompts and the error still appears.
The only "ethics" problem I see is a company using it's considerable weight to deliberately segregate users of different platforms, resulting in discrimination and bullying. I understand a lot of people here may not understand this, on account of not being a teenager or young adult, but it is a very real phenomenon.
Given Google leveraging their control of the browser to go to war against ad blockers, I would expect to see movement much more quickly this time.
You always get what you pay for.

Try to find a browser you can actually pay for. At least you will know that incentives will be aligned.
My favorite part is the ubiquitous vulns.
There's a special kind of delusion easily afflicted by successful people - that because they were so successful, it was because they are so much better. Therefore they will easily believe they will come out on top also in societal collapse. I think such reasoning is behind many super-expensive bug out plans with fortified villas and bunkers.
Well, maybe. We just don't know how things would have played out.

The safest assumption seems to be that people like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak very significantly accelerated progress.

But because of the way acceleration seems to kick of revolutionary changes, it does seem fair to say they were pretty 'Great' in terms of their impact.

For example, without them, maybe we would be in the 1990s era of personal computing now, thirty years later. Or maybe someone else would have done even better than them, and we would be further along, but the latter is harder to believe.

We'll simply never know the answer to these questions because we can't run the counter-factual.
Just checking ChatGPT out of interest:

Top Left Panel: This panel shows the pedestrian crossing with no visible jaywalking. The crossing stripes are clear, and there are no pedestrians on them.

Top Center Panel: Similar to the top left, it shows the crossing, and there is no evidence of jaywalking.

Top Right Panel: This panel is mostly obscured by an overlaid image of a person's face, making it impossible to determine if there is any jaywalking.

Bottom Left Panel: It is difficult to discern specific details because of the low resolution and the angle of the shot. The red text overlays may be covering some parts of the scene, but from what is visible, there do not appear to be any individuals on the crossing.

Bottom Right Panel: This panel contains text and does not provide a clear view of the pedestrian crossing or any individuals that might be jaywalking.
I am assuming that a professional can do their job, yes.

The whole XHTML thing where allegedly it never caught on because people can't write valid markup has never made sense to me. They're able to get typescript to compile now, right? If a dev couldn't write react code that compiles, we would fire them, right?

We have tools to check that your document parses and conforms a schema. We've had them for 20 years. It's easy enough to have that be part of your CI pipeline. The tooling is 1000x simpler than modern frameworks, and the thing that was allegedly difficult was that if you enabled conformance mode (which was opt-in based on DTD and/or MIME type), you had to open and close your tags instead of just opening them. Surely any middle schooler understands when you open a parenthesis, you need to close it?
Interesting, I didn't know traceroute used UDP by default. Just did some testing with the best traceroute tool, mtr[0], and using the -u flag for UDP seemed to give the worst results. -t for TCP seemed OK. I never thought about the difference between how TCP and ICMP packets are handled.

It's not weird. It might be weird in your eyes, but given how much exclusionary behaviour I've seen based on bubble colour, it's not weird in the slightest. I'd like to believe that apple supporting RCS will magically fix the whole 'green bubble/blue bubble' thing but I'm bearish as it seems to be more a cult thing than anything to do with functionality (I say this as an iMessage user).

And please, spare me the trite 'get new friends' comment.
Got it: higher taxes on the wealthy will tax some people out of their 2nd and 3rd homes, bringing those units onto the market, and this will be a more pronounced effect on demand than UBI'ing 40 million people below the poverty line into the next rung up in the rental market, or the 80 million American adults who live with non-family roommates who will likely be seeking their own housing.

"Statistical significance," like UBI, is a very specific idea. It's not shorthand for "does it convince me." It is literally not true the study had zero statistical significance.
By the way, I have left the community and found something else to do after the introduction of these codes of conduct in open source. Over and done with it.
They haven't blocked Brave yet apparently.
Being a 40+ year old Pole I am yet to see a single case of corruption in public sector be prosecuted.
The full app, Beeper Cloud, has a bunch of clients built in, that they'll be adding to this (as said in the link). This isn't just iMessage support, it's (eventually) multi-client.

> Over time, we will be adding all networks that Beeper supports into Beeper Mini, including SMS/RCS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter, Slack, Discord, Google Chat and Linkedin.
Similar here. I corrected some statistics on a page for a vehicle. I had multiple different years of the owner and service manuals in had to verify these facts and able to source them. Nope, some overlord of the page just kept reverting it with no recourse. I never bother to try editing again. It is not worth my time to deal with that.
Apple already provides security updates to all iOS devices made in the last 5ish years at least, so it would probably take a pretty trivial number of years for them to have an update deployed to nearly all iOS devices that see active use.
I track my time, and you're just not right in my experience. And not of the majority of people I've worked with. Maybe this is an American thing, but this is certainly not universal.

If you have enough experience and (something approximating) mastery of your craft, you can squeeze out a lot of good work in your 5-6 productive hours of work a day. I've never been impressed at the output from the folks working into the evening - lots of output, yes, but lower quality and a bad tradeoff.
There was an info somewhere that RCS will still be green:

https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-confirms-rcs-messages-w...
Which is why it's only really helpful for B2B contracts where there's reasonable power parity to the point where you can realistically 1) refuse to sign a contract unless the damages are significant enough, 2) any resistance to doing so is a strong signal they're up to no good, and 3) you as the buyer can actually afford to do what the operator did in this case and put significant effort into identifying the cause.

I don't think there are many actual cases of manufacturers pulling this without ensuring it's covered in their contract, because being caught out even once will trigger a lot of 1,2 and 3 from future buyers if they still consider you an option at all.

And remember in this case the maximum potential gain is only maintenance contracts from that subset of operators that opt to have other companies do the service.
I mean, it’s a perfectly serviceable postfix Lisp. Postfix Lisps are nice! Other things in the page layout language are less nice (e.g. the nonexistent i18n), but the programming parts are quite pleasant, I think.
I lived in Phoenix for 20+ years, I think you're really underselling how hot it is from May thru October. Be prepared to spend 95% of your time inside air conditioning in that time period.
I see your point, but please steer clear of personal attacks - you can make your substantive points without that.
Do you see how the examples you posted are somewhat problematic though? Governments are actively cracking down on all of those examples- it stands to reason that they will classify AI as a dangerous tool as well at some point, as opposed it becoming a ubiquitous tool. Ghost guns are far from common at least.
Unclear, but the statement itself is also wrong - there are aarch64 binaries for Firefox, and I'm quite sure it will compile and run on a wide variety of other architectures.
How would it be bad for the web?

If users want to stay on an old version, why shouldn't they be allowed to? Sure, there may be additional security considerations or missing functionality, but there's nothing wrong with a user making that choice.
That would be great, if Chrome was actually open source, and if the Chromium and Chrome projects weren't run by a company with perverse incentives (see: Manifest v3).
A true libertarian would ride in on their Unicorn, because those don't exist either. ;)
no-fuck.ing was still available at the time of this comment though.
> That would have happened with or without Napolean

I am not convinced
Cyberpunk stories tend to predict a consolidation to a "legit" net and some flavor of "underground" net, where users are both more capable and more vulnerable than their "aboveground" peers.

I sort of suspect this is where we are headed. I'm also not sure it's a bad thing; people derive benefit from playing in a sandbox, and as long as the sandbox isn't the only option, there's value in providing it for those who don't, won't, or can't play the old 'net game of being a full peer online (with all the benefits of "publish whatever" and all the ills of "your machine was compromised? Sounds like a you problem").
Yep. I'm going to let them cancel it though. My position is that I have a reservation for the product that was offered to me when I put down the deposit, and I will wait until they can produce one, or they can cancel the order themselves.
Curious since I don't know about this topic:

Is this sort of packet sniffing (to cheat) far more difficult (impossible?) for browser-based games ?

Assume of course a modern browser fairly standard use of the browser itself
WhatsApp, Telegram and many other platforms do everything that iMessage does and more, without the deliberate segregation of users on different platforms.

In effect, you are using a third party app (as opposed to stock SMS), but Apple has integrated it into their OS and refused to release versions for other platforms.
Honestly, when it comes to road-related violations (speeding, yield issues, fulling stopping at stop signs or RTOR, etc), I feel similarly. The current state of affairs where it's a $300 ticket that you're probably never going to see because 99% of the time you get away with it is dumb— it makes people contemptuous of the law and also feel super resentful and hard-done-by if they do finally get caught. And it's a positive feedback loop where that culture makes the road an unsafe place for people walking and cycling, so less people choose those modes, putting more cars on the road and making it even less safe.

Consistent enforcement with much lower, escalating fines would do a lot more to actually change behaviour. And the only way to get there at scale is via a lot of automation.
I've tried various Fediverse services such as Mastodon and Lemmy, and, based on my experience, I've noticed a stronger tendency towards censorship, self-censorship, and ingroup behavior.

In comparison, platforms like Twitter and Reddit still feel freer. But overall, the best solution is to use your own website for everything. But too much censure really stifles social media.
Looks like nothing about technology and privacy are found amongst the new board members of Mozilla.

Looks like someone is funneling money to keep them “paid”.
Maybe it's fair (I don't particularly agree), but that doesn't mean you're going to get it. Someone else will take what's on offer.
Don't worry if it's not your rainy day, "How exciting! sunshin.ing is available."
You can follow other servers and help to spread the load. You can decide how much of your space you want to use for that and which strategy you want to use to cache other peoples servers (new videos, most watched, hot, etc.)
This is not correct at all.

The sourcing policy says: “If available, academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources on topics such as history, medicine, and science.”
It makes me sad that Veblen goods dominate the tech market. Mostly sad for the human race, literally billions of humans had their inadequacy for status exploited.

Capitalism is like nature. It doesnt decide who is best, it decides who is left.
It already does. I asked a friend about a medical condition on whatsapp. I started getting ads about quack solutions immediately on instagram.
In which case, focusing on edging out more performance from the browser is perhaps the worst use of their time/money, no?
This mindset reminds me of the policies we use in the dev team at work. Any policy access that I suggest starts with the thought "If future me were to go rogue one day, how would present me stop me?"
Because that's not YouTube's ad?

Turning Defensiveness into Growth
TBH, i enjoy it. Or rather, i sort of wish domains didn't exist - and the flood of these names helps devalue the entire land. Or so i ignorantly assume.

Is there a problem i'm not seeing?
A lot of that criticism was nonsense. People heavily invested in the old ways are resisting change.

I am in the middle of a massive Vue 2.6 (yea, they didn't even try 2.7 because change is hard) to Vue 3 migration and most of my problems have nothing to do with Vue and everything to do with an army of very opinionated people making all the wrong choices in the name of conformity.
That walled garden is the size of a continent these days. It's not really the kind of thing we can just categorically discount if we're talking about a holistic picture of how people engage to the online world.
Even better - they also have gett.ing, which redirects to get.ing.
I mean.. I'm not up for outright legalizing murder, but as the world turns, I understand it more and more. Some people just need a killin.
They're right and they should say it. You would think I was insane if I made a CLI tool worked by fetching and running dynamically generated pre-compiled binaries from a server for each subcommand command and yet that's what we do with erb template style apps.

The API + static versioned self-contained html/css/js asset bundle is the way for anything you would reach for erb for.

well idk what to tell ya then. People do coke and benzos until theres no more coke and benzos and the frequency just depends on how much you can handle, or in the case of benzos, how quick it takes you to forget your last dose.
Yes, Apple will most likely run their own RCS servers.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en
Thinking out loud here, but if this is public-facing you can put together a static archive using something like ArchiveBox/SingleFile and have the monitoring server serve the files and update the DNS entry when it detects downtime past a certain threshold.
Do you somehow think complexity is the opposite of amateur - that is, complex = professional?

Because I have bad news for you. If iMessage is simple that means literally the opposite of what you think it means.
They only have more users because of IOS. Apple doesn't allow any other browser engines.

I would assume surf[0], I don't know if the suckless team makes any other browser. It's not for everyone but can be useful.

The Planetscale blog consistently puts out such high quality posts. I can highly recommend following their YouTube channel as well. I’ve learned a ton from the incredibly well made videos Aaron puts out!
They should consider an alternative like fetch.ing, buy.ing, or register.ing.
Technically, you are describing how your mind ("you", to you) has interpreted the symbols above. The way you have done it is one way, the way I do it is another.

For example, most people think in True/False binary: a proposition is either True, or False. If it is an extraordinary proposition, then it "requires" extraordinary evidence, and if "no" extraordinary evidence is available, then it "is" False. "LITERALLY" FLAWLESS "LOGIC" FOR THE WIN!

But if one's thinking is less simplistic (there are various superior gradients above this default approach), the situation "is" (appears, thus "is") very different.

This can easily be realized if the topic of discussion was abstract: psychology, logical fallacies, etc....but if the topic of discussion is an object level, ~"culture war" topic, this knowledge becomes inaccessible to the mind (similar to when a ChatGPT session becomes too long and the initial context (knowledge) has moved out of the active context window).

Humans are extremely interesting, I highly recommend studying their behavior, especially the behavior of the relatively more intelligent ones.
These kinds of projects are good for the ecosystem. Sometimes the underlying technology (such as using fibers here) could end up being used or merged into Rails itself, after successfully demonstrating the benefits.
Conformance and Code Owners are now generally available for Enterprise teams
Same concern here. I think it's a more valuable use of time to get all your friends/family to switch to Signal. AND pay for (donate) to Signal.
Yep, it’s so sad.

Every time Firefox is mentioned, there is someone that goes like “I have tried it but it was so buggy/slow for me”

And meanwhile, I’m using FF as my daily driver with zero issues. And I’m quite sensitive to buggyness or performance issues.
Thank you I just came by to say that
It's not the most revolutionary change to our daily lives, but I do genuinely look forward to playing against bots that have interesting play styles for games like Magic: the Gathering. I think this is a clear case where it could drastically improve the ability for the R&D team to come up with and test new mechanics at different levels of play.
We need a new benevolent dictator of LLM Operation System (Karpathy's vision) like Yann Lecun similar to Linus Torvolds.
Google simply saw where Microsoft failed in their Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy and figured out a way to do it better. By all accounts, Chrome has a bigger stranglehold on the web than IE ever did, and if you don't use Chrome you'll get a sub-standard experience in most of their products and services.

It says as much that Microsoft ditched their own browser engine for Chromium, so even if it's not Chrome it's still Google-driven.

Mozilla could have got in front of this by making Gecko/Servo as easy to embed as Chrome, so we'd see more alternative browsers based on Firefox tech.
There were women's spaces (bathrooms / changing rooms) for example that kept women safe from predatory men.

Who should be allowed in those? Is it defined by the clothes?

If a predatory man / bad actor decides to put on those clothes to abuse the system, then what? What if the predatory man / bad actor decides to hang just below the bar of illegality, and creep on women long term?
If it's an international network, you'll probably use it again and it's probably not "some random" charging network. Agree about home convenience though.
Actually, yes, they did so also on (some) vendors' x86 firmware: https://www.omglinux.com/boot-linux-modern-lenovo-thinkpads-...

These default firmware settings will prevent "third-party"-MSFT-signed EFI binaries from loading - gee, I wonder why that distinction is suddenly necessary, too? :)

In my view and experience, the threat model that Secure Boot and similar schemes to establishing a root of trust to assure that "noone (esp. not the owner) has tampered with this device" tries to protect against is VERY rarely relevant (to the owner of said device). The times that I have been inconvenienced or even prevented by that stuff from getting the software I, the owner of the device, want installed onto hardware that I paid good money for at a store/vendor have been numerous, however.
Hah! You say King Henry the Fifth was a great strategist, but the French got stuck in the mud at Agincourt!
No, not to any significant extent. I speak Hungarian and have very frequently passed through that small part of Transcarpathia where Hungarian is still spoken, and I have rarely encountered an ethnic Slav who learned Hungarian to proficiency. The language of interethnic communication in Transcarpatia was generally Russian during the Soviet era, and even remained such into the post-Soviet era, though Ukrainian has naturally gained ground.

And again, most of the Rusyn population in Ukraine is living far enough to the north or northeast that they have no contact whatsoever with the Hungarian language. I don’t think you have any actual knowledge of this part of the world.
