'Kay, I don't know if this comes anywhere close to what the OP wants, but this sort of live browser tab manipulation is possible to do using a mix of a a canvas element and the browser's Screen Capture API[1] (plus my JS canvas library, once I merge and publish the required changes into its next release[2]).

This solution[3] shows the modified browser tab in a separate browser tab. I've got no idea whether it's possible to do the same sort of trick in the same tab (but probably not). I also have no idea how secure the Screen Capture API is - I'd get very nervous about doing this sort of thing when looking at my bank's online portal!

> compiled by competitors within the National Speech and Debate Association

Does this actually map to the real world persuasion? The techniques used in competitive debates seem pretty artificial. If you tried to quickly address every point someone raised and flood them with your own talking points, they would likely think you're weird and obnoxious. The debates have specific scoring and the environment of "we're stuck here with each other", while the real effective persuasion may be closer to "this is a nice tie you're wearing, I'll get you a beer, but let's avoid X, he's a weirdo". Or "you're better than Xs who do Y". Looking at the dataset that kind of emotional approach doesn't exist there, right? Or am I missing something?
LAN Party. Had an LG wireless keyboard that came with the monitor. AA batteries leaked acid inside and it stopped working correctly. Random keys would press. Opened it up, pulled apart the two sheets that had what looked like an oversized circuit board.

Wiped the battery leavings off, then drew the circuits back on with a pencil. Then thought to use sandpaper to sever the Windows key so I’d never again minimize during Counter Strike.

Keyboard worked for years after that.

That theoretical child isn't just reading words though. it's experiencing life in a human body, with a human brain, and getting full force of all their senses and biology of being human. We don't have a good measure for how much data that is, even if the majority of that is being thrown away. This theoretical child reading from 2-10 is reading fewer words,
sure, but are they being exposed to far less data? The fonts being used, the smell of the books, how the spine cracks. LLMs don't get that in their datasets, just tokens, which isn't even the letters that make up a word.

Maps are great. I spent a lot of time on Google Maps. Looking at places where I have already been in the past or following famous routes I yet have to travel. A map can be very simple but it sparks the imagination and it brings back the emotions I felt when I was in that place. A hand-drawn map highlights the individual view of the author of the various places. I really like it!

Stadia was wild.

I got the Cyberpunk 2077 bundle which came with the game, controller and a chrome cast.

Gaming with a little HDMI WIFI puck and a WIFI controller felt very “cyberpunk” itself. Like buying some new tech to hack into the mainframe.

The Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 was basically the PC version which was far less glitchy than consoles.

Years later they issued a full refund for the bundle and unlocked the controller.

The controller upgrade process was something I never imagined a browser could do.

Thank you OP for reverse engineering and preserving things!

And thank you Google for pushing the cutting edge. Crazy to think how much went into Stadia only to be abandoned.

> How are we to divide a meter into whole number thirds?

We can't divide a metre into whole number anythings; and likewise a metre doesn't itself divide evenly into anything else. That's because the metre is the only unit of distance in metric/SI; so there's nothing else to divide into. That's a feature, not a bug, since it makes metric "coherent" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(units_of_measuremen...

You and I agree on this being an important "muscle" to build.

But this thread is not about people using this muscle, it's about people developing it afresh and further exercising it. What you described with senior engineers doing code reviews and such is analogous to a ballet dancer on stage performing, but I'm talking about doing a thousand pliés in a practice studio. The stage doesn't have a barre or a mirror, but the studio does, and it would be foolish not to use those useful tools when exercising.

I'm not totally sure if we're just talking about two different things - use vs. exercise - but a plain reading of your comments makes me think that you think the best way to improve one's structural reasoning (or "mental debugger" as another commenter put it nicely) skills is to just read more code. But I'm sorry, that's just not right. It is much better for building a good mental model of how code executes to simultaneously inspect and interrogate it as you're reading. It isn't necessary, it's just better.

A crutch is just not the right analogy. Rather, it's an aid that makes exercise more effective so that you're stronger when it comes time for game day.

Or, to come at this from another angle: Surely you agree that just reading code is not actually helpful for developing the reasoning ability you're talking about in your comment. Wouldn't you agree that novices need to run the code they read, to see what it does? Otherwise they are guessing , and as novices, they are almost certainly guessing wrong. Without anything to check their guesses against, they are likely to just assume they're right and internalize that likely-wrong mental model. I certainly had to painstakingly undo a lot of my incorrect mental model from bad guesses early on. The more that can be avoided, the better!

If you agree with that, which I suspect you do, then I'd put it to you that a debugger is just an efficient and effective tool to better aid in this process of guessing what code does and then checking those guesses, in order to further develop and internalize a correct mental model of how it works. It's like if you could run a unit test surgically exercising exactly the code path you're interested in, exactly up to your breakpoint, and assert on exactly the program state you're guessing about to confirm or deny your hypothesis. But you can do it interactively, without needing to write test code. It's an amazing capability and learning aid! It's very bad advice to tell people not to use it as they are learning.

Get the Logitech X52 Professional HOTAS, can be had for under ~250 EUR, probably way cheaper second-hand and will let you have a not-super-shitty-but-not-super-expensive setup to get started with.

If you discover you really enjoy flight simulation, get a proper chair that you can install the HOTAS into, + install rudders and also get a VR headset.

Flight simulation with a VR headset is night and day compared to without a VR headset. Suddenly you can look around and get a feeling of where you are and where you are going.
Oil Giant Angola to Exit OPEC in Output Quota Clash
Generally I'll disengage as we're going in circles. But I'll say this, if you want to claim Israel is an 'apartheid state' or that a 'systematic extermination' is going on, you can't treat these as truisms and expect everyone to follow along.

You need to assert your claims and be ready to defend them, "Amnesty said so" is not enough to define a government system, and I heard it somewhere in youtube is not enough to declare genocide.

The conflict is extremely complex and nuanced just as the rest of the world is. People sometimes use this conflict as a way to flatly project their Good vs Evil binary attitudes, please try to embrace complexity.

Probably because the term SSO (Single Sign On) was coined and used "sign", and the various "Sign in with $BigTechCompany" buttons are everywhere, so "logout" started conspicuously not matching.

Then don’t expose them. Adapt your API, don’t break the DB.

But in any case, both of the varieties mentioned still have random components; they aren’t purely sequential. Monotonic for the time component, yes.
It seems the logic is that if people think all is lost, they won't try to stop it.

Apologies - I assumed you had the ability to read between the lines that they were "protected" in the sense that they could safely ignore any such threat because they could be confident that it would fail, whereas without this protection they might feel vulnerable enough to need to defend themselves with it.
> How much better he was than his contemporaries.

Define better; Bach wasn’t appreciated that much when he was alive. Only later we decided that his works are the bees knees.

And only windows 10 & 11 starting from 01/01/2024. Why? win64 has been stable for more than a decade...

I am on elf/linux, I wonder if at the same time they will finally drop their 32bits code and those horrible bash only scripts (with gnu only commands).

Are we going to get some real simplification and cleanup too? It seems x11->wayland and vulkan->gl->cpu fallbacks are not even there yet (google blink, which valve uses, does not seem to have those fallbacks).

As soon as 32bits code is gone and wayland is really here, I should start to code my own wayland compositor. Based on valve's one, full dma-buf/vulkan3D, and certainly not c++/rust/java/(insert your language with a brain f* ultra complex syntax here), but simple and plain c89/c99 and/or assembly. I wonder if I should not use that excuse to start writting a wayland compositor but in javascript, BUT with a full assembly written interpreter (with the right OS abstraction), or quickjs.

"If Martians invade Earth and Hitler was there to defend us..."

I refuse to deal with your dumb hypotheticals. Meanwhile, in the real world, you and the other user in this thread are defending a bloodthirsty dictatorship that murdered and tortured thousands in the name of the Free Market (which also failed, because they were corrupt as fuck) against a Communist but democratically elected government which wasn't a dictatorship and didn't ban free elections. Guess who banned free elections? The dictatorship you're defending. Guess who didn't? The president you are attacking.

Please, go away before you embarrass yourself further.

Not to try and compete about who’s got a bigger chip on their shoulder, but for context I have financially supported my parents and at no point was living with them an option while keeping my career.

Well, between Bach and Mendelssohn, baroque music had been out of fashion for a century. Mendelssohn revived interest in Bach's music. Doesn't mean Bach wasn't renowned in his own time.

Still, though - the original statement wasn't false, it _wasn't_ legal advice, and the clarification did make that clear in such a way that a reader couldn't be confused into thinking that it was reliable.

It is not the tool it is how you use it. I used X-plane with VR and I had a yoke and peddles, etc. Cost me a couple thousand. It more than paid for itself. My training flights were about once a week but sometimes only once a month due to scheduling and weather. Whatever my lesson was one day in the real plane I would go home and do that lesson over and over again, radio calls, etc till next lesson; if I knew what the next lesson was going to cover I would also practice that... My instructor thought I was a flight prodigy and turns out I just practiced a lot...but I couldn't have done that without the sim.
In thinking about the timeline after posting...

I gave the year 1969 only because of the position of David's address in my notebook, not because of any documentation containing a date. Based on my work at the time it is entirely possible that the visit occurred in 1970 or even later. I mention this to address the possibility that the year 1969 does not align with other elements of the story.

I have a strange dichotomy in my mind. The world is much too safe, and the world is much too insane.

Safety: As a kid, I would go to a gymnastics gym, and do what ever I wanted. They had Olympic style trampolines and all. It was so much fun. As I grew older, the place got new management, and safety became paramount, and I find it lost it's glow because of this. Kids were being "proper".

Insanity: As I go to work in downtown Vancouver, I watch people smoke meth, and OD on opiods _everyday_. I find the mean(insanityInYear2000) < mean(insanityNow). Does anyone else have this experience?

"gaming curbs" here means limiting spending in games, likely microtransctions.

> All online games will be required to set limits on users recharging their accounts, and pop-up alerts should be used to warn and remind users of "irrational spending," according to the draft rules issued by the National Press and Publication Administration, China's gaming regulator.

Sounds like good regulation to me, imo games with microtransactions should be treated like gambling, or at least have some of the same safeguards in place if we see people getting addicted. Another cool thing to have would be an opt out (self ban) feature.

> The system works well both for employees and companies.

Taking a ~50% pay cut for potentially a year or longer doesn't seem like it works out too well for employees.

If a finance job pays let's say 250k that means you're missing out on maybe 125k. Over 30 years at 5% that's $540,000 on that 125k. If your non-compete is for 2 years that's a loss of over a million dollars. If you can happily live on 50k a year that 2 year non-compete just cost you 20 years of financial freedom.
