Grossvogel, in Ligotti's The Shadow, The Darkness. I do not want to spoil too much, but what I felt compelling was a character who saw the world as it really is, and made the most of it; instead of complaining about how they thought the world "should" be.

It gave me a new perspective which has stuck with me ever since. Every time I think of it, I feel empowered to think critically and act decisively. Ligotti is dark, but in this darkness lies power.

The Wayland devs don't need your sympathy. What's needed is a higher s/n ratio, and that means aggressive moderation of useless "wayland sux/x11 roolz" type comments, which belong in the dustbin of [flagged] [dead] along with e.g. any comment that uses "woke" as a pejorative.

The dead horse has been beaten enough and a decision has been made. We're a few years out from the major toolkits removing their X code paths altogether. Everybody who knows anything about how the graphics stack actually works is committed to Wayland. Nobody cares at this point if you're sticking with X11. One day, you'll wake up and find that your entire GUI environment has broken all around you.
Hey that paper references me. ;) I published basic curl noise a few years before that in a Siggraph course with Joe Kniss. Bridson’s very cool paper makes curl noise much more controllable by adding the ability to insert and design boundary conditions, in order words, you can “paint” the noise field and put objects into the noise field and have particles advect around them. Mine and Joe’s version was a turbulence field based on simply taking the curl of a noise field because curl has the property of being incompressible. Thought about it after watching some effects breakdown on X-men’s Nightcrawler teleport effect and they talked about using a fluid simulation IIRC to get the nice subtleties that incompressible “divergence-free” flows give you. BTW I don’t remember exactly how they calculated their turbulence, I have a memory of it being more complicated than curl noise, but maybe they came up with the idea, or maybe it predates X-men too; it’s a very simple idea based on known math, fun and effective for fake fluid simulation.

We liked to call it “curly noise” when we first did it, and I used it on some shots and shared it with other effects animators at DreamWorks at the time. Actually the very first name we used was “curl of noise” because the implementation was literally curl(noise(x)), but curly noise sounded better/cuter. Curly noise is neat because it’s static and analytic, so you can do a fluid-like looking animation sequence with every frame independently. You don’t need to simulate frame 99 in order to render frame 100, you can send all your frames to the farm to render independently. On the other hand, one thing that’s funny about curly noise is that it’s way more expensive to evaluate at a point in space than a voxel grid fluid update step, at least when using Perlin noise which is what I started with. (Curly noise was cheaper than using PDI’s (Nick Foster’s) production fluid solver at the time, but I think the Stam semi-Lagrangian advection thing started making it’s way around and generally changed things soon after that.)

BTW gaseous giganticus looks really neat! I browsed the simplex noise code for a minute and it looks gnarly, maybe more expensive than Perlin even?

Indeed, to me, Spotify is devalueing podcasts. The UX is so terrible compared to any other Podcast app that a podcast on Spotify to me is worse than the same podcast on another platform that I can consume with any other podcast client.

I had similar perceptions about "the modern web" affecting me like you describe, and it was quickly remedied by cutting out or always-swiftly-opting-out-from wherever the topic was "not at all pertinent to my current pursuits". If all your net use is in "utility form", then it is a pure wealth for work, side-project / hobby stuff, study, play, bureaucratic/coordination chores, communication with the folks you know (in my case it's just emails for arranging a meet or a call — don't grok "chatting", neither do my closest relations).

What's out then? What's out is all the opinion bloggeries and microbloggings, the whole feuilletonistic/debate spectrum, everything by "journalists", the reddits and chans, the economic or political or culture/zeitgeist doom or boom spectrums. Anything "news" that isn't specific-niche-or-thing news. It was only ever the lure of entertainment, spice, novelty, tickling-of-intellect in there anyway, but yeah it can leave unwanted engravements in mind over prolonged exposure. And for entertainment, spice, and novelty, there's a dozen thousand movies and a million games I and everyone else hasn't yet given play time for that hour-or-two a day of wind-down and the occasional "slow-mo day", from the past 60 years alone, let alone new stuff. They somehow seem oddly, innocently harmless in comparison, are self-contained and obviously not hellbent on "changing your path".

Of course that's what the article is alarmed about, but this way "the web" is a friendly, generously you-serving infrastructure offering of modernity and if you don't need it to be any more than that, there's just no such complication of "we aren't evolved/equipped for what we made" here..

This works especially finely nowadays vs. say 2016-2022 as "mostly-utilitarian"/non-blathery contents and discussions (whether thats a distro forum or a fandom wiki or a gaming channel or Github Issues, you get my drift) have healed from over-politization that did quite permeate them for that timeframe.

So maybe it's just really the old classic navigating-modern-mass-media skill building in yet another screamier more-blown-up iteration here.
Yes, absolutely, same here.

The problem is varistors blow out before the safety measures work. Perhaps due to wear or low quality, but this still happens.
Well, technically yes.

Since this is here - was anything related to voting changed in the past year or so? Every now and then I pull out an old Windows phone with old-Edge or IE11, and upvoting worked as it should a while ago, but now it does a full page reload (the vote still counts). At a glance, the code looks quite tame and not full of fancy new features.
True, they use these pre-existing standard controllers. But these standard controllers and the track format were indeed designed in that way due to the ram limitation.

Ironically, it is possible to read arbitrary formats with the debug read track operation. Yet, it needs to find one triple sync word somewhere in the track; a controller limitation.

Unfortunately, the Amiga standard track format didn't account for that, and uses the same sync word (the 4489 one) but double.

It could have been designed to use a different sync word, and include a triple 4489 at the track start, but they didn't think about it at the time.

Some tricks bit-banging the controller allow for writing arbitrary tracks.

It is also possible to read arbitrary tracks, if there's two floppy drives and a standard ibm pc formatted disk is present in the other one, by switching the drive after the controller has started reading.
Wayland achieves its lack of "suck" by being a radically simple design that simply ignores the need for those X11 "godawful hacks" (which provide useful features to a small subset of users). You can already see that people are grafting those features into Wayland compositors in non-standard ways, so soon enough Wayland compositors will have their own collection of ugly hacks. The cycle of life is beautiful, isn't it?

Rayteacing doesn't simulate light, it simulates a very primitive idea of light. There's no diffraction, no interference patterns. You can't simulate the double-slit experiment in a game engine, unless you explicitly program it.

Our universe has a surprising amount of detail. We can't even simulate the simplest molecular interactions fully. Even a collision of two hydrogen atoms is too hard - time resolution and space resolution is insanely high, if not infinite.
Perhaps, but the left has the top universities, news media, popular media/Hollywood, much of Silicon Valley, the largest investors (Blackrock, Vanguard), and NGOs on its side.

(That's what makes the current meltdown/full-scale civil war on the left over Israel and Hamas—involving at least four of the above six factions—so hilarious to watch.)
Free will is a very useful heuristic that lets you quickly determine when to stop looking for the root cause of events that interest you.

When a stone hits you - you want to attack the person that threw it at you and not the stone or that person's ancestors. So you divide the world into agents with free will and objects without. And stop asking "why" when you encounter the first agent in the root-cause chain.

It's a very effective heuristic, so people are strongly persuaded it's real.
But there are places in the world where you already have that. And where a citizen formed and normed parallel justice system is largely preferable to none. And the whole surveiled by the public and observed by machine with eternal memory might make the justice less volatile, emotional, add hoc.
Because there are only ever two options...

I find solace in knowing that I don't have a say in it. Because regardless of what the idea was, whenever someone tried to force everyone to go along with it and base a society on it, it turned out disastrously.

The only thing we can all do it be open minded, honest, and set a good example for the next generation who will take over and hopefully improve on what we did, while making their own mistakes.
Research: The Growing Inequality of Who Gets to Work from Home
Apart from the training and the fact that pilots work in pairs, there’s a host of differences that make a planes autopilot task and behavior fundamentally different from what Tesla misleadingly labels autopilot:

Planes operate in a space with good visibility, any obstacle will be visible with ample lead time.

Planes operate in controlled space, with dedicated and verified spacing between traffic participants, allocated by an external traffic control. Collisions are not rare because pilots jump in within split seconds to avoid them, but because traffic control routes planes away from each other if they converge.

The planes autopilot is in fact less capable than what the teslas autopilot pretends to be. Its limitations are fairly well understood by pilots.

A planes autopilot doesn’t dump the pilot into a “you’ll crash in a second” situation. Handover from autopilot is a different process than what Tesla expects. The planes systems are designed with human psychology and limitations in mind, because of the comparatively high regulatory bar.

If it's a VESA standard and still supported it might be useful as a fallback for hardware that doesn't have its own driver.

Edit: But actually, I couldn't find references to anything similar besides VBE/AF which even when current got almost no support directly in hardware, so folks had to resort to hardware-specific DOS TSR's. I'm not sure if there's anything newer than that.
This is why I'd like cars to be able to signal "I am going straight". Today it's unclear if they go straight or simply forgot to signal. On a bike guessing wrong can be very dangerous, so one has to err on the side of caution, which is inconvenient and has its own dangers.
Yeah on UNIX side, NeXTSTEP, Irix, Solaris had their own thing, as graphical workstation UNIXes, and were great.

Ideally that kind of thing would be part of GNOME, or KDE, but then there are those that rather keep using twm like experience, making GNU/Linux really only good for headless experiences, at least the UNIX/POSIX part is always there.

The book of Leveque is a classic [1].

One of the open source codes from their research group is called Clawpack and is a good starting point for understanding things, and for cross-validation if you code something yourself.

But keep in mind, there are many different physical formulations of the wave equations that complicate matters quite a bit, especially beyond 1D. A shallow water wave has different physics from a deep water wave, which is again different from a sound wave. These require different numerical treatment. And e.g. if you go to large scale atmospheric (Rossby) waves, you need to solve on a sphere which is topologically a bit involved. It's a very rich field of study.

I never use self checkout if I can avoid it, the experience is always terrible. Instead I wait and just catch up on a couple pages of my book on my phone. Waiting in line is fine when you have something to do.

Of course there's "more". I frequently write code that's going nowhere near a web server. My Github projects from my Ruby days is zero percent Rails, even--and it's a bunch of not-web stuff for which performance also wasn't an issue then, either.

This isn't even some kind of well-actually gotcha, it's firmly a mainstream, obvious thing.
Then you get too many dependencies and the code is hard to work with because you in turn have too add so many dependencies. This is a hard problem in large programs.

A VP at Nvidia has a cool (marketing) line about this, regarding frame generation of "fake" frames. Because DLSS is trained on "real" raytraces images, they are more real than conventional game graphics.

So the non-generated frames are the "fake frames".

My personal lesson is that stability of frameworks is worth so much more than features, but features are what attracts developers to open source.

So you either have stable but dead, congrats you are the framework developer.

Or you have constantly changing, api breaking rodeos but you might not become a framework developer.

I've been abroad and compared to it Bulgaria does feel like a frontier, like a good place for a certain type of nonconformist, especially in terms of career and business. There is no playbook and beaten road for a lot of things.

If you try to have your career go the same way as you would expect in Western Europe/USA - go to the best school, get the best internship in the best company and be rewarded for following the rules you'll be infinitely disappointed in this country. There is no shortage of people who feel unrewarded and unappreciated for their qualifications and credentials.

But if you try to make your own way - getting a skill by practicing yourself and searching out people who need that skill it might work surprisingly well and take you far.

Btw if you enjoy the linked writing you should check out Time Shelter, it won the Booker prize recently.
> If the code will not change delete the tests at they will never fail.

Or, unless they are expensive, just keep them. The code doesn't change so they won't break.

But for the next maintainer they will tell them a lot. One particularly nice thing about some code I maintained recently was that it allowed me to run through different scenarios in my debugger even during my first days in that code base.

Also I don't think I will ever again assume that some code that is in production will never change.
Comparing the play to the f-droid store, the f-droid store is not secure at all. You add your entry and have it built. After that, no one takes a look at your codebase. Only if it doesn't compile for weeks.

F-Droid does not have restrictions based upon sensitive permissions, such as background location, phone & messaging, etc.

The Play Store has seen a lot of shit and has adapted policies to get that blocked.
