This is a very creative use of ligatures. I wonder if any of the popular tab websites would be willing to support it.
I always wonder why can't one choose to be nice to people without using divisive language, emotionally charged accusatory jargon (like "imperialist"), devaluing somebody's sincere contributions and framing the situation in group vs. group terms? Like, if the point is that you choose to be nice to people, why can't you start with being, you know, nice to people?

For example, if the same sentence was formulated as something like "expanding the contributor community by including people knowledgeable and proficient in languages not commonly spoken in the West and soliciting feedback from such contributors would greatly expand the appeal of the resulting solution and make it more widely applicable" - wouldn't that sound more nice to people?
> at cost to the company

If by "cost" you mean Meta being in the business of siphoning user behaviour, Meta controls the E in E2E a.k.a the apps, so it's a matter of trusting them to not do covert on-device analysis + result exfiltration.
> Enough housing means supply meets or exceeds demand which means prices fall

While this seems obvious on the surface (if there are more houses than people in some area, prices should drop right), are there real world example of this working that way?

More housing just creates more demand which drives more density and yet more demand. The densest area in the US is Manhattan, not known for being a cheap place to live. Second densest is SF, also not a bargain for housing.
> I pay for YouTube to support the platform and creators.

Paying Google to support creators pushes them to play to The Algorithm(tm) - which means they will adapt the presentation of their content to maximise profitability. And thereby stop making the content you're enjoying now.

As such, I think paying Google to support creators is one of the worst ways to support them. Buy their merch, support them directly on Patreon (or similar), or support a site where they ostensibly have more control (eg, Nebula). Don't coax them into a style of creating dictated by Google's algorithms.

Yeah, of course you should be doing that. I was just trying to say that people shouldn't pretend like having snapshot-based, filesystem-level replication alone (which can be a very efficient way of replicating data changes) is a good backup strategy.

Sure...it's right in the literal sense, but a better answer would add "but it does recommend eating a sandwich in Dolores Park on a sunny day as the 'best' thing to do, if not the most fun."

It's the most correct answer, but not the best!
But still not without problems, because you can't naturally write `cout << x & 0x1f << endl;`...
Just to add an additional anecdote/perspective for other folks curious about the Erlang mention: the lack of client support in Erlang/Elixir is real, unfortunately. Just an artifact of it being a smaller ecosystem, but it's improving all the time.

You can do mutable state manipulation in Erlang/Elixir through a few mechanisms - ETS tables is the main one - but it's not "high-speed" in the sense you find in C/Java/Rust/etc., where you want to bash on a slice of mutable, contiguous memory containing primitive (word sized/aligned) values. It's also a bit awkward, as ETS tables are more like having Redis inside your application than they are an actual collection type.

Regarding string manipulation, strings in Elixir are actually quite good. This is one of Erlang's sore spots that Elixir improved upon. I'd put Elixir's string manipulation facilities up against anything I've used, including Java and Clojure.

And +1 to the point about Erlang's concurrency story. If you have a highly concurrent problem, Erlang/Elixir really is best in class. It isn't a perfect technology by any means but it really is as good as everyone says it is.
Exactly, and this law is used everyday against European companies that tries to grab too much data. The US is the epitome of the surveillance society on par with China (look at how Apple wad sending push notification, or how phone companies just share your location data with the world). Here in Europe we fight by making sure that the data cannot be collected in the first place.
“If anyone had predicted three years ago when the ONISQ program began that Rydberg neutral atoms could function as logical qubits, no one would have believed it,” said Dr. Guido Zuccarello, a DARPA technical adviser who has supported the ONISQ program since its start in 2020. “It’s the DARPA way to bet on the potential of these less-studied qubits along with the more well-studied ions and superconducting circuits. As an exploratory program, ONISQ gave researchers the leeway to explore unique and new applications beyond just the optimization focus. As a result, the Harvard-led team was able to leverage much more of the potential of these Rydberg qubits and turn them into logical qubits, which is a very significant discovery.”

For backups, I don't see what this offers that borg doesn't. And borg also offers multiple snapshots, which this doesn't.

The only advantage I can think of I suppose is that this is "real time". But it's a pretty small perk.
Maybe not. The problem is that C++ (before C++20) has no normal print and format function. You supposed to do everything with streams. To switch to two decimal places you would first output some magic value that sets an internal flag in the stream. Then you need to remember to restore it again.

Of course you could just use good old C printf to get some work done. But if you did that the "real" C++ programmers would sneer at you.
In my experience Merlin can recognize known calls in very busy environments, like on a street with cars running, people talking and four different bird species screaming at once.
From the mid-16th century onward, collectors combined and categorized many kinds of art and natural objects in these cabinets in ways that reflected their worldviews, knowledge and wealth, prefiguring the development of modern museums.

Ahhh, collectors ... fetch me an elephant, a tiger, some natives, and five hundred square feet of Baroque artworks Jeeves.

Speaking of the Smithsonian:

The remains of a man from Western Australia's far north have been returned by a major US institution, more than a century after their theft and removal.

The repatriation is one of 14 from the Washington DC-based museum taking place in Aboriginal communities across the country, including Ngarrindjeri in South Australia and Eastern Maar in Victoria.

Around 1,700 First Nations ancestors have been returned from overseas collecting institutions and private collections since 1990, including 139 from America.

To clarify, I don't work professionally with videos, I've hacked on some projects and read some books about it. My professional experience with ML models is in writing backends to integrate with them, the models I've designed/trained were for my own education (so far, at least). The answer to your question is probably, "I'm a dilettante who doesn't know better, you may well know more than me."

I take the impression that much of the time, color doesn't provide much signal and gives your model things to overfit on, so you collapse it down to grayscale. (Which is to say, most of the time you care about shape, but you don't care about color.) But I bet there are problem spaces where your intuition holds, I'm sure that there's performance the be wrung out of a model by experimenting with different color spaces who's geometry might separate samples nicely.

I did something similarish a few months ago where I used LDA[1] to create a boutique grayscale model where the intensity was correlated to the classification problem at hand, rather than the luminosity of the subject. It worked better than I'd have guessed, just on it's own (though I suspect it wouldn't work very well for most problems). But the idea was to preprocess the frames of the video this way and then feed it into a CNN [2]. (Why not a transformer? Because I was still wrapping my mind around simpler architectures.)

The price of rent roughly tracks the price of a mortgage, and apartments are only about 20% of all homes. If this legislation passes, and home prices go down, then rental prices for homes will go down, and apartment rental prices will need to match those price reductions to attract renters.

New Python versions do continue to remove features from the standard library, which can break programs. Most other languages I'm familiar with make efforts to only do this in extreme cases (like c removed gets, but basically nothing else).

Also, I have Python 2 programs I'm keeping running, and expect to continue doing so for several years to come. Many libraries never made the jump to Python 3.
These examples do not work. If a plane fails, everyone would know it immediately. If money disappears from my account, at least I would know it immediately. The problem with privacy is that if it's broken, I wouldn't know it. So we have to spend all our life in blind trust, and it's insufferable

Also a complicating factor with kernel upgrades is that while zfs release notes clearly delineate what kernel versions are supported that information doesn't appear to be meaningfully encoded in package metadata so if you use new enough kernels compared to the version of zfs for your distro it is possible to front run support. For instance 2.2.2 supports up to 6.6 but you could very well for instance install 6.7 and it might not work.

The somewhat broken thing is not encoding known data like which kernel is supported to automatically do the right thing in the packaging system not the filesystem. The lazy fix is to just manually handle kernel updates. The lazier one is to grab the release notes and update if latest kernel is <= supported.

Really not trying to make a value judgement here. Just observing that many Web professionals do find value in tools that use third-party cookies, and such value is not always about spying or selling data.

For example, the European Parliament website uses third-party cookies for analytics and for Web streaming. Yes, they can run the whole stack themselves. It is also a) more work and b) not how most of the industry works.

The European Parliament with the resources of the EU, finds it expeditious to use 3P cookies and just display a cookie banner. How reasonable is it to expect sites with fewer resources to do similar interesting things on the Web without also falling afoul of the EU law?

The fact that I couldn't type my name for decades in most IT systems because of the charsets used is not "virtue-signaling" to complain about, thank you.
IANAL, but I believe it works the same way to say physical property. If you don't "defend" it by objecting to it or putting up fences, and let people move in or say they are changing things, it's effectively qui tacet consentire videtur (silence gives consent).

One is Ayyuhal Walad (Dear Beloved Son) by Al-Ghazali. The book is advice given to a student seeking advice. It might be worth learning Arabic just to read Al-Ghazali (along with Rumi, etc). Al-Ghazali's writing is amazing, but much of it gets lost in translation. It has a kind of savagery that translators tend to leave out.

It's very theological and possibly hard to get into, but I'll try to summarize it a little for a more secular crowd:

1. Theologically, you have already been given all the advice you need. There's no point to asking Al-Ghazali for advice; but you, the beloved son seeking advice, refuse to read and follow God's words. When you follow your desires [1], the correct advice tastes bitter.

2. A sign that God has turned away from an individual is that the individual spends all their time on unimportant things.

3. A common form of chasing unimportant things is knowledge. Knowledge is a tool, not an achievement. It is arguably sinful to chase knowledge that is left unused.

4. Knowledge without action is insanity, action without knowledge is wasteful. They are always coupled.

5. Prayer alone does not qualify one for Heaven (plenty of Islamic citations included). It's actions that lead to Heaven, often in the form of resisting desires [1] and acting upon given knowledge.

[1] Footnote on "desire": There's not really a good English word for "nafs", as it has both positive and negative connotations. Desire is not simply sexual. It includes desire for financial safety and freedom from work. Desire to sleep late into the night under a warm blanked. Desire to avoid fighting in wars. Desire to not give to charity when poor. Desire to be seen and respected as an intellectual.

And so the act of working and feeding your family with honest work is the kind of action that puts one in heaven. The act of giving to charity when one is poor. The act of night/dawn prayer (there's a whole chapter on night prayer). The act of humbly receiving advice from someone of lower 'rank'. The act of not sucking up to kings or showing off. The seeking of knowledge, especially the burdensome kind of knowledge that puts responsibility on yourself.
If I can weigh in as a fairly unskilled Clojure user: Biff has been a miracle for me. It's true that decisions have been made by the Biff creators, and that's what's been wonderful. They have been really good ones so far for me. Many of the choices are modifiable... but I'm not likely to do that. I just need things to work. The tools I had to install turned out to be ones I should have on hand anyway. I would have reached for PostgreSQL on my own but have gotten really into xtdb. JUXT has just added SQL to xtdb so now I have that if I want.

I use Emacs but I discovered to my surprise that the creator of Biff does not. I don't see a lot of Emacs specific stuff in the documentation.

I recommend the tutorial project (eelchat). Otherwise, they are really helpful in Slack... someone usually answers any issue in a couple of hours or much less.

What's most important is that Biff brought me was a working front-end out of the box that I could start tweaking right away. When I used Luminus I had more steps and they were really hard to figure out as a beginner. However, shout out for Luminus... it was my go-to before Biff and I have huge gratitude.

I didn't know about htmx and it has been a game changer. This is probably my favorite feature.

This was the first time I was able to fluidly get something going, tweak the backend and UI, and deploy. Other approaches had some but not all of those.

The deployment situation is a dream. It was incredible to have my site up with a few steps. For a less skilled developer like me this was totally awesome. Biff has a continous code-push/deploy feature that is incredible.

Sorry if this seems like a fanboy post. It's probably because for Biff I am one. My feeling is that for Clojure to grow userwise there need to be a lot more projects like this one.

They are somewhat opposite: rents go down when everyone wants to (and can) buy, they go up when people don’t want to (or cannot) buy. This is just a short term effect, long term rents should track home values.

I see this bill as a no-op: Wall Street will continue to invest in multi-family rental buildings, as it always has, and SFH purchases were always somewhat of a side show.
It might just be personal experience but I've found things always look crappier on Linux than on Windows. I have been off-and-on Windows and several Linux distros on my laptop, and I have found GUIs and multimedia graphics on Windows are always a tad bit more vibrant, clearer and better-looking in general than on Linux. There is just something inexplicably wrong with how Linux setups render things, even in the OS's own GUI (for both KDE and GTK-based DEs) - fractional scaling (if it exists) just makes everything blurrier and worse-looking, fonts look wacky with uneven kerning and ineffective anti-aliasing, colors are dull, etc.

Not to mention GPUs just go ballistic and drown out the game's sound with fan noise every time even when you're running a simple 2D game. You always have to keep the iGPU on and the discrete card off by default because it apparently has just two modes - off, or full-power. Smart throttling like on Windows is non-existent.

I don't mind the extra effort needed to set things up and gather knowledge on running it for the trade-off of a truly free system. But these things are out of any user's control and keep me from completely shifting over.

I don't benefit from delusions of grandeur practiced by an increasingly greedy, ruthless, & incompetent managerial class in the West.

C++23: The Rise of New Streams
Yeah, and it’s a faulty assumption that all investors price housing on the basis of rents. I recall reading that in Vancouver, BC they had a large influx of foreign money pouring into their housing market because it was a way for foreigners to expatriate their money. Drove prices through the roof. They had to impose measures to discourage it. Those properties, I read, often sat empty because using them for housing was never the intent of the owners.
Excellent article. This suggests the Gpt scalings are like Rope scalings and one should not go beyond 2x original context length.

If Claude2 has an internal Rag, then this means also that the 200k context length only holds for queries that allow for an out of the box
