I've stopped using it so maybe not the best person to contribute an answer, but I used it most for purely terminal, purely keyboard driven email.

Being able to do things on a headless VM over SSH is very useful to me. At one point I even dispensed with a graphical environment on my Linux machine, and just used tmux and a pseudo terminal!

Given my use case, I don't think the command line aspect is worth targeting for you in any way, but the keyboard only definitely would be! That doesn't mean it can't support a mouse, but if it can be completely driven with just the keyboard, that is a massive selling point to me.

Awesome work by the way! Really cool to see someone building an open source Superhuman!
I've thought about exactly this a few years back but lacked the technical skills to implement it. there are some great books out there as you mentioned, but even worse are great books with mediocre narration/production. eg, A Song of Ice and Fire on Audible is absolutely horrid. The Martian by Andy Weir is fantastic. Can I transplant Will wheaton or Greg Tremblay into GOT? Can I have multiple characters narrated by different voices?

please revisit it if you can.
A more positive take here is that we are likely to see a transformation of industrial civilization. And that transformation must necessarily involve an expansion off the earth toward space-based industrial development. As Gerard O’Neill said, the surface of the earth is not a suitable environment for an expanding industrial civilization.

Some of our descendants will live in closed-loop habitats with around 50 gigatons of biosphere per occupant. But this will only happen if we prepare for the transition and engage in some long-term thinking.

Unless you have a science-backed point by point refutation of the many challenges to come, your comment is simply an empty assertion.

Hardware does become obsolete at some point and people will get rid of them but the EOL of an operating system is not the reason for it. As long as people can boot up and do whatever they want to do with acceptable speed then most won't upgrade.

Yes, that's a good point. It's hard to remember how long ago he was writing, until you think about stuff like the well tempered clavier, where being able to play in all keys on the same instrument is seen as a modern marvel. We are now so used to equal temperament that the compromised intervals sound normal to us, whilst they would have sounded wrong to them.
Before FF7 they were aping fantasy tropes. This is fine if you're making a fantasy game! Though my favourite game in the series is 6 which adds steampunk to the mix but without being overly self-conscious about it.
big companies don't have real choice, there are not that many 4x+ engineers on the market to cover all products and areas

one good example of a product type that can be (and is) made by a small team of high performers is Telegram app

I personally believe that inside a big company you still can and should have some top priority projects run by that kind of teams, if your management is smart and flexible enough

It's not just MS, so many companies are putting restrictions and pretending they're making open source contributions. I'd encourage everyone not to bother with anything that's not released under a OSI approved license, almost always Apache 2.0 it seems and never a custom license. Building off these just encourages companies to add restrictions.

I’m struggling in the worst way to get into any game at all. I have free time. I don’t feel guilt being “unproductive” with that time. But nothing feels motivating to continue with.

In my teens and 20s it felt amazing to finish homework and have a late night ahead of me to really sink my teeth into an RPG or something. But for the past decade that magic is just gone.

I don’t want to declare “I’ve grown and changed and maybe gaming just isn’t my thing” because I badly want it to be.
The problem with truly “semi-arbitrary” designs is not the ability to build them cheaply or easily. It’s the ability to ensure that they are safe, sturdy, durable and low-impact.

Dr. Seuss can draw crazy bridges with a stroke of the pen…while I love the visual interest and creativity they represent, practical structures tend to look “normal” because of practical reasons. Yes, there are zoning codes, traditions, regulations, etc., but that’s not why we don’t have 30 foot concrete arches over suburban homes.

I do think this could provide cheaper ways to create small variations in design, and those small variations are crucial to making a built landscape look human.
I would argue that median energy consumed per capita is a useful metric to measure standard of living.
I wonder if it's some kind of selection bias - techies all praise how good it was but I can imagine that the experience for the general public with the typical combo of overloaded Wi-Fi backed by shitty ISP-provided router was much different and this may have contributed to its downfall.
And still have a problem with having too much bamboo growing outside...
I find a lot of comfort in the idea of unintended consequences. I spent the majority of my youth playing games: CounterStrike, Magic: The Gathering, D&D. I paid a lot more attention to useless hobbies than to school.

In hindsight, I attribute my strongest mental skills to all that gaming. Abstract reasoning, strategic/tactical thinking, english fluency...things that separated me completely from my peers once I began my career.

Life's long and you never know. If you enjoy cooking, sure, it stacks with a lot of other benefits. I think that's a good framework to keep in mind. But there's no reason to believe nothing good can ever come from some hours spent on Call of Duty. Heck, if you enjoy them that's enough good gotten.
For me, the highlight was FFVI. Square was firing on all cylinders on the SNES.
FFVII started the tilt into anime and, aside from FFIX, they've continued to lean into that. I don't care for it.

Luckily the indie developers (and even teams within Square Enix) have taken up the mantle. Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, the Star Ocean Remake, the Tactics Ogre remake, Crosscode, the Seiken Densetu 3 remake, Live A Live, SaGa Frontier 3, the Octopath Traveler games - they're quite good, and that's just in the last few years! Maybe not to everyone's taste, but they are well made games and there's no shortage of good stuff to play.
In Florida any home system over 10KW requires you to purchase $1m in liability insurance if you intend to connect to the grid and participate in net metering. This is not insurance against destruction, it’s liability insurance in case your solar plant hurts someone. Needless to say this requirement does not exist in other states with successful net metering programs, it was invented to discourage rooftop solar. And this is just the highly-visible stuff. You can only imagine what other disincentives the powerful energy company lobbiests have used to discourage other solar installations in the past.

PS I’ve now seen multiple commenters explaining that solar in Florida is rare because of hurricane risk. This makes me wonder if some PR firm is circulating this as a talking point.

I'm not sure what you mean by "every time I turn it off", or "loud series of beeps"... Are you sure you have an actual Sonicare? Because that doesn't need to be turned off after brushing (the cycle ends itself), nor is it capable of producing beeps that could be described as anywhere near "loud".

In any case, the user manual that helpfully ships with every genuine Sonicare, and is also easily accessible online, succinctly describes the steps to disable the beeping:

1. Put the handle on the plugged-in charger.
2. Press and hold the power on/off button while the handle remains on the charger.
3. Keep the power on/off button pressed until you hear a series of two short beeps (after 4-5 seconds).
4. Release the power on/off button.

But, as an actual Sonicare owner: when it beeps for replacement, the head is truly overdue for that. In fact, I synced the replacement schedule of my manual toothbrush (which sees an equivalent duty cycle in my case), and every time I look at both brushes, I have to admit: yup, those need replacement!
In high level play you have to manage your land, the hard thing is how to find the optimal route to collect your army: It's advisable to take around 15-18 turns to collect your army from an area and attack in the remaining 10-7 turns, so you can attack before the enemy numbers increase. In high level 1v1 play what matters most is the area you have, if you can get +1 area per 25 rounds from your enemy you'll probably win.

But! As both of you collect more and more area it gets really time consuming and after a point you just can't collect your army optimally. I'd argue that the biggest difference between skill levels at the highest levels is how efficient the collecting is. At that point you'll need cities. Always look for the opponent's counter to know how many cities your opponent has.

Not that it matters but I was a top 5 1v1 player quite a while ago.

I'm confused, why didn't he used his solver himself if he was so desperate for money?
Is Flutter as ubiquitous as html/css/js? Is it similarly cross platform?

I responded to the suggestion that every company was choosing electron (html/css/js) because it was the best and easiest, by pointing out that the reason it might be picked may not have anything to do with simplicity or being the best choice, but rather based on other factors (like financial motivations). Flutter is a different toolkit, and isnt the typical "web page" type building of application UI, and so was outside of the scope of my original response.

I've never used Titanium, but have used similar types of toolkits... all of them, regardless of whether they compile to native apps or not, are (very broadly) generally selected based on the criteria mentioned in my previous comment: why build out different platform native apps when you can largely get by with a web dev(s) building a single app that compiles to the native system? Theres tradeoffs involved, and the typical optimisation in an org is to favour lower cost and/or quicker market time. Theres the "we can do it better later when we have the money to" mentality, except once a system gains enough traction, that perspective changes to "why spend time and budget on changing something thats working". The term "working" though, is subjective... its "working" for the org, but is it truly "working" for the user that is interacting with it?

You don't need tracking period. You don't know who, or even if anyone, reads yor blog.
True, but it's still relevant in the early stages of iterating on a project. I'm familiar with one team that started investing in database-level optimization months before even beginning to deprecate their `loadAllRowsFromTheLargestTable` RPC.
Hahah indeed, but having minimum information requirements and penalties in the contract for breach makes this all, more or less, academic IMO.

The point I'm making overall is that demanding there be no anonymity is asking everybody to give up an exceptionally valuable freedom, and what we're getting in return just ranges between nothing for the overwhelming majority of the population, to things with relatively easy solutions for the small percent of people that are affected.
I played VII - X when they came out, X was pretty bad. None since VII had any content worth powering through for; if you don’t dig it, I wouldn’t recommend it. (Doubly so because JRPGs are extremely grindy and the opposite of time-efficient.)
Taking this opportunity to tell you about my open-source side project: I've built a very simple event-based analytics solution some time ago. You can simply host it yourself and track basic events. It's not possible to track any personal information, not even IP: https://github.com/shafy/fugu
More on-device AI. Shift from off-prem compute to on-prem. Open source LLMs run locally, no more black boxes.
I'm no expert and I'm self-taught, here's what I think

1. Don't waste your time on courses [not after you know the basics]

2. Kaggle Competitions [Featured ones] worked for me

3. Read blogs/newsletters - Tldr AI comes with new research and many open-source projects, I have personally starred a ton of repos and it's totally amazing, then there's bizzaro devs, data elixir, Hackernews newsletter which combines top links, You can read Lilian Weng if you have strong fundamentals, Jay Alammar

4. Additionally I took Udacities nano degrees, they were nice, you can try it, for RL and Self Driving cars at least..

Best

Far more expensive than diamond, not as hard, and it's explosive to boot. I'm not seeing much reason to scale up production.

I lost a huge ash out by the road about 10 years back.

The only saving graces were:

- It was on the road and the town took it down at no charge.

- With that tree gone, the strip of my front field I was letting grow out grew much more and shields me a lot better from the road than I was before.
Thank you for the additional info @atrettel. Quite accurate in terms of what I remember of the field.

On the NASA perspective, mostly use Linux qsub with MPI. An example of such is:

With some caveats perhaps... theoretically speaking if 80GW of PV were to produce at 100% output power 24/day that would be about 700TWh in a year
I think you grant protesters far too much common sense. What i'm saying isn't theoretical : as a recent example, here in paris a feminist movement protesting in support of palestinians women under bombing explicitly rejected from the march women that came to protest against the raping of israelis women ( and hostages ).

Another recent example in Paris as well is the number of people removing "free the hostages" posters in the streets.

And i won't even mention twitter..

This isn't something i've imagined, it's the sad reality. Those people are actively hostile to israelis even if that means supporting the most terrible atrocities commited by hamas.
Legally speaking you can say whatever the Supreme Court’s ad-hoc “interpretations” of the constitution will allow you to say, meaning whatever’s aligned with their political interests.

No, pretty much every one of them. I prefer darker, heavy themes. For example I love Double Dragon and Castlevania on NES but never enjoyed Mario or Zelda or such — found them too naive for my taste back in the day (was eight year old)
When I saw the specs my thoughts immediately went to local LLMs, then I got to the last paragraph. I was messing around with Mistral 7b the other day when it was posted on here and have been considering upgrading my PC so I can run LLMs faster.
So true. The seeking and finding and revelation in its contents was something else. It also took a lot of reading and applying to get everything out of it.
I guess it depends on the specific type. I'd rather have to remove a bamboo clump than a Thai banana clump (I've done both).
One of my 2024 goals is to write more and better. This 2023 I've written more than ever, but I've focused more on visits than on quality. This year I want to focus on getting better at writing. This article has convinced me to turn the analytics off, or at least to not check it as frequently as I do it now.
Most contracts I've seen have a clause in them saying that the agreements are final and any modifications have to be in writing and signed by whomever to modify the agreement. I have no idea if there's one like that in play here, but, it's not necessarily a bad argument depending on the particular situation.
I grew up playing a lot of computer games (PC). A lot of them. It mostly stopped once I went to university - for the following decade I played only newer versions of games I was familiar with (e.g. newer Civilization, newer Command and Conquer, etc). And even that was the once-a-year binge - not continual. Then I stopped altogether.

There were multiple reasons I slowed down. I was interested in my academics. I looked back at all the time I had played pre-university and (rationally) lamented the time lost. The genre I liked had died (adventure games), and I really didn't like 1st person shooters. And I didn't want to deal with the headache of upgrading my PC every 2 years just to play a game. Also, I switched to Linux, which didn't help.

I bought a PS3 in 2010, but it was only for Blu-Ray and streaming. Then in around 2016, on a whim, I decided to check out a game from the library. I picked The Walking Dead (Telltale version).

I loved it. I started checking out other games. Someone bought me an Xbox One as a gift. But this all lasted a few months before I stopped playing again.

Finally, around 18 months ago, I felt guilty that I had spent $100 on games back in 2016 when I got the Xbox (some big sale, so quite a few games), but never played them. So I told myself I'll try a few.

The first one I played was Life is Strange. Loved it. Then Oxenfree. Loved it. It's been 18 months and I haven't stopped playing.

Before, I'd spend 30-60 minutes per day watching some TV show. I've merely substituted that time with gaming. And it is so, so much more rewarding than watching a TV show - even a great show. It's counterintuitive, but I find it both relaxes me and invigorates me at the same time in a way a good show on TV wouldn't (and I love good stories). With TV, you're just staring. With games, you're actively thinking. It's more dynamic. You make decisions. You're in control. And games can have great storytelling.

I remember times in my life where my work was really stressful. Looking back, I wish I had played games back then.

The funny thing is, while I had earlier lamented all the time in my youth spent playing games, when I look back now I have only positive feelings. I still have good memories of certain games - heck even certain achievements in games, from 30 years ago. That time wasn't wasted.

I always find it amusing when someone belittles gamers as losers, but then they go watch TV.
The first statement is provably false, empirically, as huge systems are overwhelmingly not written in dynamically typed languages.

Not all languages are created equal and some were designed to be more conducive to maintable code for large teams of developers.

Ruby is not one of these languages.
Does anyone know how much this even matters? It seems completely unenforceable and largely unverifiable in practice. Feels like more of a “pretty please, pinky promise”. Although admittedly IANAL so curious what realistic ramifications there are

The first two sentences both contain such blatant spelling errors that I'm doubting if I even know how to spell English. I make plenty of spelling errors and I'm really not bothered by this sort of thing in general[1], but in a journalistic publication this probably says a lot about the editorial standards (or rather, lack thereof).

All of this is based on a Fox News article at [2], which is already considerably better than whatever the hell this flaming garbage is, for example by saying it's "a strict policy that was applied to the Israeli side, as well as to the other side", something this article omits.
