I stand corrected. I hadn’t realized iPhones had made that much in roads. iMessage still is dwarfed by several other messaging services.

I find it odd to argue that the 4ᵀᴴ most popular (likely less) messaging platform should be forced to open (primarily due to a huge misunderstanding of what monopolistic and anti-competitive practices actually are).
> The thing is—GNU is right here, that info is better.

My experience was, with 1 or 2 exceptions, that the info was the same as the manpage. And navigating info pages is "challenging".
Sidewalks are in fact, more dangerous. Tree roots, unseen level changes, pets, not to mention pedestrians - it's tolerable if you're a kid going 3-7 mph with training wheels but for everyone else hitting on of those obstructions are a decent cycling speed of 12-15mph could cause you to flip.

Not to mention cars won't see you so they will turn into or pull out of driveways, or fail to stop for you as you're trying to cross a road.
man pages are a UNIX thing. GNU is not UNIX.

With the conflation with the Linux kernel, people sometimes forget.

If you want a „purer“ free UNIX, one of the BSDs might be a better fit.
There is always README.md but having offline docs is always nice.

I think I would prefer we just ship folders of markdown or HTML that open with your editor/viewer of choice though.
Maybe don’t share your Apple ID password with a third-party in the first place, just saying.
The issue for me is that I don't want to run another web service just to take personal notes. I'll likely keep using Obsidian until I can find something else that is self-managed and "flat".
Thank you, this helped.
If you read past the initial uninformed hot takes that thread actually gets progressively more interesting and informative. Good find.
I agree. However there is another trap with that. Engines which haven't made a game usually haven't solved the hard problems yet. It's just easy or fun code that works well in convenient circumstances.
I like the Julia language. I've used Julia for some of my published academic papers. It represents an important step towards solving the two-language problem. But it does not solve the two-language problem.

Until Julia provides first-class support for AoT compilation of (small) binaries and libraries, I don't see it being a competitive single-language option for large-scale projects. And yes I'm aware of PackageCompiler.jl and StaticCompiler.jl (and even GPUCompiler.jl!) They do not provide first-class support for AoT compilation. There's a massive difference between the user experience of compiling a binary with those packages [1] as compared with, e.g., compiling a Mojo binary [2].

I would love to see Julia improve and become more widespread, but I see a strong possibility of it being disrupted by another language unless it improves on this front.

Have you considered that the problem is not which phone you choose to use, but the type of women you choose to date?

I’m 2 years older than you, and it is frankly astounding and depressing that in your description of how women “view you”, it’s all superficial and materialistic factors.

Maybe if you dated women who care more about your personality and less about what brand phone you use, you’d have more fulfilling relationships?

I always had a hard time remembering how to navigate info pages.
Geocities had a tiny fraction of the users that forums attract these days and was not free for a major portion of its lifetime.

All of that, and worth noting still that Geocities was extremely unique in what it offered when it offered it. It's not a very compelling model for the entire internet, at best it was an experiment that ultimately failed.
Unfortunately, I am from Iran so I can't use this new feature. I got '403 Forbidden' message from the arXiv server. Worse than that, I totally lost my access to arXiv since they changed their CDN to fastly, because fucking mullahs don't like fastly!
unfortunately, such a feature is so niche that almost nobody cares about it, and so does not move the needle in the fight against chrome.

According to a quick statistic search, firefox has about 363 million users, while the multi-account addon has about 368,938 users - that's 0.1% of users. Compared to ublock origin, which has 7,388,295 and thus is at least within 2% of all users.
It works, but do applications just grow their memory consumption over time? I woudn't be overly surprised.
> The reason why WhatsApp does not face any regulatory scrutiny in any highly developed countries with strong competition regulation

I mean we’re talking about text messaging. Practically everyone on the planet has myriad options. It’s really hard for me to see any consumer harm.

If you just want to lobby the government to make Apple do stuff, that’s fine.
I think the core problem is that it’s not /, which many have muscle memory for
Do you have a source that says it's 4th in the US? Because from my research that is not the case by almost any metric. And if you consider "texting" as understood by most consumers (grouping SMS, RCS, and iMessage usage together), it seems to be overwhelmingly dominant in the US.

You might wonder why you'd group those three together without including other messaging apps. There's a few factors:

- Every phone comes with a texting app. It's the one that sends text messages to phone numbers

- Within a user's texting app, the underlying technology chosen by the app (SMS, RCS, iMessage) is mostly transparent and automatic. It is not a conscious choice by the user, nor is it something the texting app goes to pains to ensure you understand. And in Apple's case, it is not an option to choose a technology for a specific conversation, you can only configure the entire app to use one technology versus another.

- End users consider it to be an overall unified platform, despite the technology mess. Consumers say "I'll text you", they don't say I'll SMS you.

You can report websites that don’t work in Firefox on webcompat.com and Mozilla web developers will test and diagnose the problem. When possible, they attempt to reach web developers at the site (using personal contacts or referrals when official channels aren’t working) to share the bug report and a suggested fix. In other cases, Firefox can include a site intervention script to patch the site or send a different browser User-Agent string to make it work.

I haven't touched wasmer specifically, but as a wasm noob who's been playing with dart2wasm/emscripten recently, I'll try and explain as best I can. The ecosystem is a bit messy, so it can be difficult to wrap your head around. If I've got anything wrong, someone please jump in and correct.

wasm is just a bytecode assembly format - you can compile something like "int a = 1; int b = 2; return a+b", but to actually do anything interesting you usually need some kind of runtime environment where you can spawn threads, access a filesystem, print to stdout, etc etc. WASI, for example, is an interface for accessing system libraries via wasm; runtimes like wasmer/wasmtime (for native) or v8 (Chromium) will expose their own implementations of WASI. WASIX is wasmer's own extension for WASI (a point of some contention in the wasm community).

Running wasm in a browser, though, still requires some manual setup with Javascript, along with crossing your fingers that the browser runtime actually supports the system calls for whatever you've compiled.

I guess what wasmer has created here is a Javascript SDK so you can:

1) easily download wasm binaries from a central registry

2) ensure those binaries actually run as intended in a browser environment

3) avoid the manual setup Javascript code currently needed to run wasm modules.

emscripten is a (non-WASI) runtime + compiler so this isn't an exact alternative to emscripten (I guess in theory you could compile something via emscripten, publish to the wasmer registry, then consume solely in Javascript). It does, however, replace the manual JS wiring you need to do to run emscripten-compiled binaries in the browser.

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.
Of course, but then I just go back and reread the relevan section(s).

The things I might be able to phrase into query is not something I trust the AI to be able to explain, like what are the downsides of the proposed algorithm for example (unless explicitly mentioned, which is seldom).

I guess I'll have to try to keep this project in mind next time I read an arXiv article, and give it a spin.
For me, it’s not “sticky”. I end up forgetting how to use it. I never forget how to “man”.
Ah, the classic debate of whether biologically a clump of cells constitute an entire person or "victim", or is it something we are made to believe due to our teachings/religious beliefs. Out of the biggest global religions, 2 out of the 3 Abrahamic religions allow abortions, when necessary and if the mother is at risk. By that logic, abortion is allowed and should be done whenever necessary for the health of the mother. Allowing women to apply their rights to their own health does not make our society a majority of sociopaths.
I am not saying to use abortion for irresponsible actions, but abortion in it's self, is not a sociopathic activity.

I'm decently sure that there is a dosage for methamphetamine for which the effects are (nearly) indistinguishable from "regular" d-amphetamine, assuming that the route of administration is the same.
Your question gets a SaaSy reply.
WhatsApp is owned by Meta, and the revenue model is based on usage of it (i.e more users = more potential eyeballs for paying businesses to get access to). It’s not quite as creepy as the Facebook revenue model but it’s not that far from it.

iMessage is an ecosystem perk for buying Apple hardware - it has no intrinsic revenue (and as shown in every one of these discussions, in many parts of the world is largely unused by iPhone buying customers).

Interoperability is a good thing. Apple has committed to supporting RCS and doing what Google never did, and bringing E2EE to the standard rather than bolting their own shit on, and limiting who can use that.
> due to age on a new car

As I wrote, I chose a used car.

As I wrote, I have no idea what expenses are needed to get a car to 200K miles, and it hardly matters for this discussion, does it?, as very few people do that.

The point of showing the breakdown was to highlight that maintenance for the car you showed was more than the fuel cost, which is why your original estimate, based only on fuel cost, did not reflect the true price of driving a car that distance.

I do know that it's unwise to consider only gas money as the cost to get somewhere. There's a reason GSA mileage reimbursement is $0.67/mile and California's is $0.625 /mile.

You show your math for why your numbers are correct.

And remember, you can't look at the cost for a car which reached 200K miles and assume that's the normal cost, because it excludes all Hondas which were scrapped before then, eg, because any damage or repairs needed were not economically worthwhile.

> I usually take my Chevy Volt.

You have at least two cars, neither of which is a Honda Civic? Did you pick a Civic because you knew it was an outlier of some sort?

You have plenty of money - enough to afford at least two cars. Of course a free high-speed rail trip would do little to change your mind; you aren't affected by costs in the several hundred dollar range.
> the business risks are too great

Building authentication in-house is non-trivial to say the least. It is a dynamic service that fundamentally needs a database and is fundamentally accessible both to the wider public Internet (networking-wise) and to unauthenticated users (which attackers always start out as), which makes it incredibly difficult to secure. DoS, keeping everything patched on a moment's notice, rate limiting clients, emailing resets, ensuring your emails continue to be deliverable, suspending accounts hit by credential stuffing, having support processes for unsuspending accounts that are not themselves susceptible to social engineering... the sheer complexity of security engineering required to do this correctly and at scale is not even remotely trivial. Not to mention very strict performance/latency requirements because auth is overhead on everything, which gets to be difficult once services start to scale globally, and runs into direct internal contradictions when revocations compete against internal caching.

I appreciate the business risk of depending on a third-party for part of the foundation of your value offering, but the truth is, if you're not running your own datacenter and hosting your own databases (and therefore your databases are located in some vendor's offering, be it co-lo or cloud), you're dependent on a vendor for part of the foundation of your value offering. In and of itself, that's a pretty normal, expected, and acceptable business risk to take.

Not all businesses are the same, and I'm sure there are some where you need to run auth in-house (like if you're selling on-prem software), but I'm mindful that most companies simply cannot run auth securely. And when their security fails, their users' data leaks, and in a modern era, that too is a real business risk.
i wouldn't call completely broken on mobile a beta
I just did this today using openAI’s function calling. I have a bunch of elements in a scene and trying to classify them between various ‘buckets’ has been the challenge. The way I set it up is that in the schema expected, you take that top level free text, wrap it in quotes and it becomes the parent object with the elementCategory as a string required inside it, with a list of all category types in the description. Then loop through and create a dynamic schema based on how you chunk your data, then add a validation step at the end to ensure that chatgpt doesn’t forget, add or change keys. I found that if you create a numberedKeywordString for your chunk, and wrap each in quotes, then stuff that numberedKeywordString into the system prompt then it’s solid and will ensure the LLM catches every key and gets the associated elementCategory value.

It works quite well for dynamic classification in my purposes but I’m sure there is a better way.
Way back when, the emacs-ish interface that info uses by default was very jarring, especially since I had been using vim forever.

`pinfo` was a browser that supported browsing like elinks, and the keybindings were similar enough that I could effectively navigate it when needed.

However, IMHO, as nice and organized as the info pages were, every modern console I found myself using, when in the terminal, when I needed to use man or info, I really just wanted a a summary of all the command line options, that I could grep on, in one big list. info pages tended to offer logical subsections, that required more interaction + more careful reading to get to the piece of info you were after, which ended up using more time to plow through to a solution.

No it didn't, it inverted in 1978. 1-2 years after the inversion starts is pretty consistent.

What irks me is its default behavior. A function should do safe operations by default. Compared to `JSON.stringify()`, 'structuredClone()` throws an error when it encounters values that cannot be cloned, which is a much saner approach. Probably because they learned from the mistake.

Apple does the same thing with its Macintosh series, newer versions of MacOS don't support some older Macs. Been like this with MacOS for a long time now and nobody seems to care that Apple does it. Install Linux on the old Macs to keep them alive, the same with old PCs.
I remember the same thing and eventually seeing DarkBASIC in stores and PureBASIC on a few shelves as well in the 90s. I gravitated towards BlitzBasic because the developer (Mark Sibly) was genuinely interested and improving his system, forging a good community and making some cool looking stuff along the way. For years I wrote BB, B3D, and a few other dialects of BASIC for doing game-related and demo-related things.
This usually means you haven’t installed the info pages: info falls back to manpages if it can’t find an info-native page. Typically, on Debian or similar, you have to install foo-doc to get the info pages if `foo` doesn’t install them. E.g. I’m fairly sure the zsh package lacks the very good zsh info pages, which are included in zsh-doc.
Not enough. Here in Finland full time childcare is capped at 300 euros per child by law, the rest of the cost passing on to the taxpayer, but we haven't seen a resurgence in birthrates due to that. But you could get that down to 150 if you doubled the ratio, or 100 if you tripled it, and maybe then people would start again.
You're 40. Unless you're also dating 30 and below, it's very possible you've completely missed the generation that started dating on social media, dating apps once they went mainstream (although I started on sparkmatch!), and texted constantly in the getting to know you phase.
I think that is the issue.
I dont understand the binary distribution requirement. For me julia is replacing python applications, and i distribute those as packages via poetry build and pypi.
What is a "corporate profiteer"? Are you trying to ensure we don't confuse it with "corporate benevolence"?

Corporations do what's economical. The Chinese have a very robust and growing steel sector, and it's all run by profiteers. When the US had a huge steel industry it was run by profiteers then as well.

Today, turning iron ore into rolled steel isn't one of America's comparative advantages anymore. Even despite major protectionism. There are no evil bad guys here. It's the nature of economies as they grow and develop. The US was once good at low level manufacturing, now it's bad and uneconomical at that and better at more advanced engineered products and services.
I think you’re making two assumptions that I doubt.

1) That people with mental illness cannot keep themselves housed assuming housing is available and affordable.

2) That the seemingly high prevalence of mental illness is a cause of homelessness, rather than a symptom.

I don’t think either of those is entirely true.
All of this advice is merely nice-to-have. You can easily just use an old desktop or laptop to do the same.

I've homelabbed for a long time and have rackmounted systems full of old desktop parts, rather than buying or seeking out used server hardware. It just isn't required.

ECC RAM? Nah. It's useful if you can find it cheap and your CPU supports it but it's overstated as a problem IME.

I do agree you should buy 2U or even 3/4U equipment, if only so you can mount much larger (and thus quieter) fans.
The funny part about this apology? In the first line he says he deleted the tweets "several weeks ago". He only deleted them 2-3 days prior. I would know, because I exported all his tweets on December 13, saw they were scrubbed December 14, and exported again December 15. A warmonger and a liar on top of it.
Huh? Who's been playing with fire? Fedora ships 15k packages. They don't develop them. They're trying to modernize hundreds of packages on a volunteer basis.

> Because a video got leaked.

You should read the article, the video leak has absolutely no bearing on the sentencing. He was part of a hacking group that ransomed the major telcos, and when arrested was violent.

He is currently being held for his and other people's safety, the sentence for life is "until doctors feel he is no longer a violent risk to the public".
Yeah, not quite sure why this is being lauded as anything but pedestrian... I run several very old laptops like 1st gen i3 old, and they work fine, 0.3mp webcams even work, that's always basically been the case as long as your old hardware isn't super weird.
> there are magical criteria like culture fit which is inherently discretionary and biased which should be penalized too

OK, I have been rejected once -- during the interview no less, not via an email after -- because I said I am not into Game of Thrones. Apparently everyone on the team's pass time was chatting about it. They openly told me I don't fit in because I don't like GoT, even though the interview before that was an exhaustive technical one and I passed with 93% score.

Whom should I contact so they get penalized?

You realize these are private companies and they are not accountable to how they achieve their results as long as the means are not illegal, right?

And you do realize suing them over this will take a huge amount of time and money? Money that most working people don't have?

> one reality is that companies dont always need most the cognitively/physically qualified person.

Whose reality is that? I haven't seen it ever. Business makes money by hiring N people with capability X, and not N*5 people with capability X/5. Otherwise business will go broke paying salaries to incapable people. Common sense.

I get that you are saying that you might need people who understand certain markets better and that's practically their only skill but... on a more general premise the statement "you don't always need the most qualified person" is just confusing.
> if the sea surge barrier does not reopen, the river discharge can lead to flooding from the inside.

Which makes it all the more unique that it closed, because there's a lot of water coming down the Rhine and Waal right now.

Rijkswaterstaat (who manages all of this) prepared for this by making more space for the river water to flow and flood in other directions.
I think what's even more notable is that the EU, US, and Japan protect their steel industries at great expense. Billions of dollars per year. Yet Chinese steel is still profitable and competitive.
