Even VW's physical buttons don't guarantee an intuitive UI. I tried to set the clock on a Jetta and had to look it up online. At first I went through the infotainment system's screen, which had settings for just about everything else. Why not the clock? Who knows. Anyway, there was a promising looking button on the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel (i.e. fairly near the clock) that did something with the clock, but no combination of pressing it actually let me actually set the clock. It turns out there is a second button on the dashboard, on the left side of the steering wheel, that is used to configure whether you are setting the hours or minutes, and must be used in conjunction with the button on the right side of the dash. I consider this a hard UI fail.
Ha!

Sorry, I did miss that. And yes, that sounds like lazy reviewing .

But I have also read many word salads from grad students that their supervisors should never have let go to a reviewer.
This ignores the role of regulators e.g. EU.

ActivityPub is the first glimpse at a future where social media networks are interoperable over a common standard similar to mail. And from recent history the period we are in is one in where governments are looking for open standards as a hedge against big tech.

The idea that Meta would deliberately harm a standard, shut down competition and invite anti-competition investigations is far-fetched.

I meant to say blindly voting for local politician going for state/national office just because he is local regardless of policies.

> but how exactly does burning excess gasoline, and at what exchange rate?

few hints how to build estimations:

- check how much money Western countries paid to autocratic regimes for oil/gas. Check estimates how many people were killed/jailed/displaced internally and as results of conflicts initiated by those regimes

- there are reports available about long term material damage from global warming. You can divide it by gasoline consumed for personal transportation by westerners and multiply by some calibration multipler to offset other factors (0.2 will be reasonable first estimation)
And for ages, those kingdoms, dukedoms and fiefdoms had revolts, revolutions and displacements. I don't know why you think they wouldn't in the future.

Zuck and the rest aren't trying to become a 'figure they feel will protect them and keep them safe', they're building fortresses so when SHTF they won't be bothered with the rabble.

Cal Newport: It's Time to Dismantle the Technopoly
Your sentiment is a commonly expressed one, but not usually by people who have adopted Rust. It’s usually Clang/MSVC/GCC users who have decided this is the optimal flow and want to replicate it in all future codebases they work in, regardless of language.

In reality if you hit a compiler bug in Rust or Go (or any other language with one main impl like Python, Ruby…) you would file a report and do one of two things - downgrade the compiler (if it’s an option) or write the code a different way. Compiler bugs in these languages are rare enough that this approach works well.

That said, for people who are really keen on a spec, there is one being worked on (https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2023/11/15/spec-visio...).

But this GCCRS effort doesn’t get you any closer to your ideal C/C++ style workflow because they are committing to matching the semantics of the main compiler exactly. Bugs and all. And that’s the way it should be.

The Rust ecosystem becomes worse if I have to install a different toolchain and learn a different build system with a different compiler for every new project I interact with. And after all that extra effort it turns out there are subtle differences between implementations. My developer experience is just worse at that point. If I wanted to code like this, I would code in C++ but I don’t.
My comment was alluding to America. UK's a whole different ballgame.
It's the core of what the article is espousing. Greatness is not achieved by a point-wise maximum, but by consistently strong delivery. Said another way, you're "only as strong as the weakest link."
I've just wasted a day of benchmarks, because in one of my major ongoing refactoring efforts a compilation flag wasn't propagated to the needed target - so I definitely make a lot of mistakes :)

As for `do`/`while` keywords, its just a preference, but feel free to recommend more patches - I'm always happy to see new contributors - it's a luxury in low-level projects :)
The latest estimates are that China’s emissions will peak next year and then enter a structural decline [1]. The 2030 number is generally viewed to be obsolete now (that’s how fast things are moving.) This is even with the new coal capacity they’re building, which they’re structuring to be “idled” (through government payments not to generate.) They’re also building large amounts of solar capacity in the west and in deserts, with continent-scale HVDC interconnects.

Right now the (global) goal isn’t 100% renewable energy, and it won’t be even by 2030 or 2040: a grid that’s 70-80% renewable with 20-30% average fossil emissions will be a massive improvement and will keep us on track for decarbonization. The interesting question is whether battery storage will decrease in price fast enough to deliver that remaining fraction, or whether we’ll have to build the remaining 20% with fission by 2050/60. Batteries are already economical enough that we have 5GW deployed in CA for infra-day time shifting. It seems like an incredibly long bet to imagjne that after three more decades of technological and manufacturing improvements their cost won’t have dropped enough to make them a viable competitor for nuclear. For my own part I wish I could take the other side of that bet, since I think it would be a good one. But we’ll have to wait and see.

Its more evidence than what the OP is providing with their argument that patents hold back innovation. I get downvoted for providing evidence and they got upvoted by for making some populist statement with no evidence.
From the site explaining what is to be done:

I remember the RSS times. But let's be honest. Even then it was only tech enthusiasts using an RSS reader. Probably the same people now experimenting with the Fediverse.

Do I trust Meta regarding federation? No. But I'm thinking it's an afterthought for them. The Fediverse isn't a threat to them at all, just like RSS never was.

I totally understand that some instances have strong opinions about this and self-isolate to a degree. And that will cement what Mastodon is: a set of small for-purpose communities.

It will not compete with the scale of Big Tech and maybe it shouldn't. Mastodon is to stay in their marginal role, a niche network. For sure exactly those strong-willed instances will agree to that.

I'm fine with that as well. I'm just pointing out that an anti-growth mindset produces a small network.
fiefdoms only work under specific material conditions. assuming we're referencing Europe, part of those conditions include cultural and economic isolation. even if the current global order collapsed violently, nobody is starting from scratch. especially for the first couple of generations, people will remember that there is a wide world out there. people now at least have been exposed to the idea of governing through consent and basic democratic principles. these guys are talking about putting shock collars on their body guards. they aren't going to be kings after the end of the world, they can't even imagine having loyal bodyguards
Rails is the biggest Ruby project and it’s heavily based on metaprogramming. Even Rubymine has trouble finding the canonical definition of a named method sometimes – it has to guess. I love Ruby but I totally understand this criticism.
You can't blame Meta for shutting down RSS given how many companies e.g. Cambridge Analytica abused open data access features for nefarious purposes.

It is still possible to access the data just via the official Graph API.

Ah, thank you for this clarification. I was wondering what that comment was referring to.

(and keep up the great work <3)
I first browsed the article on mobile without adjusting my display brightness (generally set to low for eye comfort) and it took significant effort to see the issues.

I then turned my brightness to 50% and immediately saw browser rendering issues the author may not have experienced themselves. The differences in various contexts are massive. It may be useful to take photos of my screen rendering the various artifacts at varied brightness. There are clearly some rendering optimizations (in different contexts) that create some horrible artifacts.

I don't know Ruby at all, and maybe some familiarity with the language would help, but the biggest example code makes absolutely zero sense to me:

RSpec.describe Ticket do
context 'when the ticket is closed' do
it 'emails the requestor with a confirmation' do
...
end
end
end

I have no idea what's going on here.

I get that there are some blocks of code, though it was the indentation that told me that; "do" and "end" feel super verbose and bleed into the important parts of the code for me.

Why is Ticket capitalized? Is this a variable? An object that we're about to work on that's coming into scope?

`context `when the ticket is closed'` feels like it's setting me up. Is this an if block? Or is it some fancy way to set a listener on a property? Is this setting up a callback that'll persist across runs of the program? Or is this just a method named with spaces that could do anything?

`it 'emails the requestor with a confirmation'` has got to just be a method name. But what is "it"? What was "context" in the previous one? And why does "emails the requestor with a confirmation" need to be a block? What happens in there? Is this just setting up some kind of call stack like thing that provides context all the way down?

None of this is intuitive. And the impression that I get is that the author is calling methods with spaces in their names and unclear block semantics "expressiveness".
Smashing the stack for pain and misery
What did you expect from a bunch of MBAs? They are not known for being particularly sharp, are they.
Sure! Tragedies are also a time where we sometimes see the a response that shows the absolute best of humanity.

I apologize, because I have since edited my comment. I was writing a bit too fast.

My perspective is that this child read a POW diary from WW2, then let's assume that he saw some great examples of humanity, and then decided that "I'll live like it's the 40s!"

It's strange to me to have this reaction. He claims to be a history buff. Where's the realization that the 40s were an absolutely terrible time if you weren't a straight white Christian man? Did he love that part about it? If he's not thinking of that, then he's really deluding himself with rose colored glasses.

This entire story reeks of untreated childhood trauma to me.

Why is he digging into the past so much? His parents are out of the picture. Thank goodness his grandmother is there to raise him. But we know that growing up without parents is its own specific kind of trauma. (Not that growing up with parents avoids all trauma!)

To me, this is a story about an extremely lonely and isolated child.
It seems obvious to me when he outright mentions loving his great-grandfather's diaries and that the obsession didn't start until he moved in with his grandmother. But yes, it's speculation. I would rather ask a lot of questions before showering a kid with positive attention for something that might have been an adaptation to an unhealthy relationship.
Sure, I hope you can recognize that I was trying to convey that there were a lot of things. I mention ROCm because it is more than HIP and is what you'll see when you install pytorch. I hope you recognize that I was intending to convey that it was more than a wrapper. I'll admit that I could have phrased my intent much better, but I was trying to write to an audience of one with my best interpretation of their comment.
Even in a restricted context (the apparent documented information), hard copies have advantages over digital copies under two considerations.

First, they survive technological obsolescence. Consider how even reading a floppy disk is a huge pain in the ass for most people today. Now stretch the time frame.

(Some might say that all you need to do is copy the contents to a new medium when upgrading. Sure, you can do that, but it has a migration cost, and perhaps some risk. It's not a freebie. Compare that to keeping around hard copies.)

Second, they have historically been less ephemeral. Sure, we have durable, write-once media out there that manufacturers claim will last thousands of years (we'll see in...thousands of years), but that's rare.

For important stuff, you should a) keep the hard copy, b) make a digital copy, and c) create backups. You have the option of migrating or reinjesting the original source material, at least.

Gotta give the team behind Nightshade and its earlier, rapidly debunked predecessor (Glaze) credit for a really strong media-relations operation.

I had to write some ruby at work recently and wasted a few hours on a bug caused by the following footgun:

irb(main):028:0> value = false or true
=> true
irb(main):029:0> value
=> false

That really makes me want to write it off entirely. It’s hard to think of a situation where this is the right behavior.
academia is not about innovation, it should be trying to tend to the big self-referential kaleidoscope of knowledge.

mostly it should try to do it through falsifying things, of course groupthing is seldom effective at that.
This is also the original (stated) motivation for modern standardized testing.
Using views is a good practice anyway as you do not tightly couple your API to your schema. It's been a few years since I used Postgrest (and to be fair I had no write scenarios to cover) but I do not remember it limiting what security capabilities you have on Postgres. Needed a bit of a setup, but nothing terrible. If row level security does not cover your use case you are down the path of custom development anyway. My advise, be careful, this is a bottomless pit, with special combinations/overlapping rules etc. Go with a rules engine, prolog/datalog style would be my path.
They're fighting a common enemy and maintain friendly relations, not sure what else you need to know ?
There are real people running the shadow libraries, they probably can't be "hacked" as easily as you think. Sure, you might sneak one spam book or two inside, but that won't have any impact.

This is the process of LibGen uploads:

> After successful uploading you need to fill the bibliographic data and submit the form, otherwise the file won't be actually added. The file will be accepted to the collection (and become widely distributed) once it gets necessary positive votes from the librarian team, usually it happens in a few days after uploading.

If it's easy to compromise the shadow libraries with AI generated content, I suggest you go ahead and do it for proof.
It's hard for me to imagine this being overturned on appeal. Even if I agree with IA morally their arguments here don't pass the legal smell test to me
Netgate is providing a pfsense patch that disables ETM MACs but leaves chacha20 enabled. The vuln announcement is arguably vague because of the way is uses "and" and "or" but from the vuln scanner source chacha20 is clearly not okay even without ETM.

Minimizing it like this is a great way to neglect kids.
> then the US agrees is obligated to ask the UN to step in.

No, UN has nothing to do with it and also point 2 talks about conventional weapons.

If US is still interested in limiting nuclear proliferation there's no other way than helping Ukraine with military aid to regain it's territory. Otherwise Ukrainians will develop nukes and the risks for nuclear war in Europe will skyrocket in a decade or so. Ukraine has enough Uranium and enough expertise, everyone telling this will not happen is kidding themselves. They might not disclose it (like Israel) but they certainly have plans for it if they don't restore their borders. If the memorandum is void we're back at it before 1994, in my opinion they already have the right to restore their nukes since they haven't received sufficient support in the War.
The lowest estimate I see for Figma's ARR is $200m, so to suggest that even $500m is a high valuation is just untethered from the facts
It's just a credit and a debit whenever it is. A reversal before it settles isn't actually much more real.
I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:

Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.
Which comes back to same CA problem the OP is trying to get rid of, no?
Yeah, but even three copies of stuff digitally is cheaper to maintain because we can back the data so much denser, and replicating it to newer media is so much faster.
Open source anomaly detection for metrics
Keeping them updated especially. We have UI components that people tend to make duplicates of because they don't know "dialog screen with two buttons" exists, but the docs are always out of date, and cause more harm than help.
Yeah, but on the flip side, you bought software and then used it. You didn't have a subscription to use XYZ on the following terms for the following time periods, unless otherwise changed.

And it was about software, not "behavioral surplus data collection pretending to be useful to you."

You win some, you lose some. But I'd take that era back in a moment.
There are costs other than volume of course, but if most wills are five or six sheets of paper then you can pack a million of them into one shipping container.

A4 is 1/16th of a square metre, so on 80gsm paper with a density of 1.2x water, 1MW (mega will) is about 25m³. An ISO standard TEU shipping container has a volume of about 30m³.

If you spaced everything out 10x you’d still only need 650 containers for all of the UK. That’s about 3% of the volume of a regular container ship, or roughly the number of containers you might see in a Hollywood standard bad guy dockyard confrontation movie scene.
> So, AGI would need to exist in some robotic form (or control whatever keeps us alive), without oversight, control and share our biological needs and aspiritions (in order to participate in the food chain).

No I don't think so. To be at the top of the food chain doesn't necessarily mean to compete over the same resources. I think it's more like having all resources available and we are certainly interested in putting AI in charge of many of our resources, provided a capable AI arrives.
Isn't this example just web + db ?

Today I realized that Mike McCue is Flipboard's (co-?) founder.

I worked on Netscape NetCaster in 1997, so Mike was my grand-boss. Months later, he provided key testimony in the US Federal anti-trust case against Microsoft.

I didn't interact with him, didn't get to know many people at Netscape; we were head-down on development. But I keep bumping into names that are familiar...
