I wonder if there is a bias in finger loss? People use fingers and have preferences in use. Used fingers may get infected by bites by animals/snakes - and some snakes are very toxic. You can not cut off a leg after a poisonous snake bite, but with a finger you may have a choice? In religion one would want to cut a minimalist finger - you do not want to disable followers = your army?
That said, there may be too few missing finger/painted figures/in many places to decide.
I would argue that as a result of circadian rhythms, the Lunar calendar atleast makes more sense than the Gregorian one.

>PDF has been a free-as-in-beer standard since 1993 and a free-as-in-speech ISO standard since 2008.

Yes. The first sentence of the Wikipedia article about PDF is:

>Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

And the last sentence of the first paragraph of the same article is:

>PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008.[5] The last edition as ISO 32000-2:2020 was published in December 2020.

Nobody is pretending Ruby is the fastest interpreter. Who are you arguing against? Rubyists generally consider Ruby “fast enough”. Which it is, for many applications.

For every engineer insisting Ruby is fast enough in a situation where it is not, there are 1000s in environments where Ruby absolutely is more than sufficient, insisting it’s too slow.
At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $2278, down 0.51% in the last 24 hours.
If the price manages to go below $2257 then it will likely decline further to test $2223.
Since the Merge, around 339,121 ETH have left circulation, and deflation accelerated dramatically in the fourth quarter of 2023. The total circulating quantity of Ethereum (ETH) was 120.18 million as of this writing, the lowest since the network switched from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS).

An annual rate of 0.220% was the shrinkage of the net supply. There would have been an annual inflation rate of 3.168% and a total supply rise of almost 4.8 million ETH if the changeover hadn’t happened.

AFAIK, the purposes of the web was sharing information, building a corpus of knowledge by everyone interacting with each other, and it was so for sometime until the advent of the algorithms and walled gardens. I started on the web a bit late, and it was because I wanted to learn how to draw and play the guitar. There was a lot of weird sites build on Wordpress sharing tutorials and multiple forums with people interacting just like this one. Soon after FB came and almost everyone switches to pages and groups, and some years after you can barely find anything on google.

I wouldn't mind connected services, but when my data is held hostage and the one in control is a faceless company, it does not feel like technology anymore, something that would help you accomplish your task better. Take my smart tv, I would be glad to connect it to my network and not bother with the apple tv when I want to play a movie, but the last time I tried, it tried to forcefully upgrade itself and wouldn't let me skip some onboarding screen that tried to get me to create an account. I had to unplug it. Or when some headphones or mouse manufacturers want me to use bloated proprietary apps just to configure them.

While what you describe is technically feasible, it never feel like this as tech companies always start a conflict with their (paying) users by taking their data hostage, enshitifying their platforms, and destroying any attempt of integration.

The article refers to an exhibition of early faked photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2012, sponsored by Adobe.[1] But the article doesn't have any of the pictures. There's a book of the exhibition.[1] The free preview shows enough to give a sense of what the article mentions.

This is also non-deterministic between versions of tar, but I guess for this usecase that would be fine. It’s just not good for reproducible build systems when trying to recreate tarballs after years.
As a user (and occasional recompiler) of the tensorflow derivation in NixOS, I'd love to see Nix able to somehow do a poetry2nix style transformation on bazel dependencies so they would be properly cached in individual store paths.
Yes, and having credentials is no guarantee that you know what you're talking about. The licensure boards themselves will sometimes warn you that a licensee's credential is in no way a guarantee of any sort of quality and you need to apply your own judgement in assessing the person's qualifications. This makes sense... At the end of the day all the licensure boards can really tell you is if they licensee passed a test and if they've had a history of complaints.

Maybe TypeScript for a typed, familiar and easy to read/write language, and either an internal scheduler or an external one (e.g. cron). A file with per-website rules/scraping hints stored as JSON on disk or in a database, unless it's supposed to be dynamic/one ruleset to rule them all. If you need to go faster, you could retrieve the data (wget/curl/some lib) and pass it to some binary (C/Rust) for processing into a database at core speed.

I guess you could do something ultra-simple (no loadable programs or me port allocation for example) but that doesn’t feel like an OS to me.

You can sort of do that with an emulator too. For example on the GB you could do just the CPU/memory at first, skipping some rare/tough/quirky ones. Graphics aren’t that bad, you can avoid emulating some bugs/ultra-tight timing. Controls are quite easy.

Honestly none of it is that tough as long as you’ve skip sound. Sound is the worst part, and what’s next on my plan for my Swift based emulator.

Of course if you wanted to keep going you could add on color Game Boy support, Game Boy advanced support, cheat codes, save states, stuff like that.

It’s turned in to a pretty great little project.
I probably sound like a broken record on this but the software PE was effectively impossible to get firstly because the Fundamentals of Engineering exam that is the first step to becoming a PE wasn't discipline specific at that time IIRC and contained topics like thermodynamics that very few CS students would have had exposure to. Even for those candidates who got past the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, four years of professional experience under an already certified PE was the next step but there weren't any existing software PEs to do the supervision. Only after passing those two hurdles could the candidate take the software PE exam and become a PE. So basically NCEES made no honest effort to make attaining a software PE realistically possible.
So... Nintendo made the same mistake twice?

For context, the Wii used GameSpy under-the-hood. You weren't necessarily required to use it (as evidenced by EA shipping their own system) but most developers did. The reason why Wii online was shut down was specifically because GameSpy got bought out and started massively increasing their server hosting costs.

Of course, that's a little different from the Rendez-Vous situation, because presumably Nintendo is hosting the servers and just put someone else's software on them. Still, it's strange that they built two different account systems - and I suspect part of the reason why they're shutting down the Wii U and 3DS systems is purely so that they don't have to support what sounds like a nightmare, anymore.

Here's to hoping they built the Switch's online somewhat sort of correctly...
The closest to this is the Apple ecosystem. Most of their hardware works together, but sadly it's closed.
There are some great ones out there, particularly at ArsTechnica, but there are also journalists working at mainstream newspapers who are sent/told to cover some tech/science thing and presumably they do their best but they end up out of their depth and just put something together to meet the deadline.

There’s some miscommunication here, sorry.

I’m saying that smart phones are pervasive in the daily life of at least a billion people.

I think that LLMs will eventually reach those numbers even after the hype phase ends.
I think this based on the accessibility, utility, and ease of use of them.
I think the growth of LLM products is a kind of indicator for this.

I don’t think VR will ever get to that scale. I don’t think Vr will disappear, but it’ll never see the same scale of usage.

I think this because of the physical and economic barriers to using VR and the fact that people generally don’t like having things strapped in front of their eyes.

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say.

They found people in occupations requiring more movement had worse outcomes. But these people are probably also poorer, more stressed, drink more, smoke more. So it's hard to draw conclusions without controlling for this, to state the obvious.

For a more UI / Web based slant, I would recommend these (beyond a Spreadsheet - which is incredibly helpful for understanding data flow systems):

* Simple video game using Unity or Unreal (understanding perf limitations in a game where 30-60 fps is critical helps make performant interfaces elsewhere - even on Web)

* A simple Javascript framework similar to React (again, will help understand data flow & handling events)

* An http library wrapper around XMLHTTPRequest (fetch exists now, but understanding how to send & read HTTP requests from scratch will help in debugging any problems down the line like CORS issues, OPTIONS requests, etc.).
Same reason that discovered human and animals figures are explained as "religious artifacts", rather than just dolls and toys made for kids. Everything found gets re-explained as having great significance, even if it was mundane.

This comes up in "A Canticle for Leibowitz", if you want another interesting take on the idea.
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, all those highschoolers would be much better off without a smartphone while in school (barring emergencies) and perhaps outside of school too.

> Are they actually happy being second best? Do they know/think they’re second best? Possibly you’re going to tell me they’re not second best and the love is equal? I think all of you have a preference and equality is impossible, but I’m willing to hear that position out.

I mean they're "second best" with regard to the law, which is unfortunate but there really isn't any legal mechanisms where we live for multi-partnering, so it's just kind of the reality we've had to accept. But outside of that, we do our best to keep ourselves equal to our extraneous partners. It may seem strange but this is really the best. Sometimes that means plans with my wife can't happen because she already has some, and sometimes it means stuff my wife can't go to, my girlfriend does instead. It usually breaks down to whoever is available first, and we keep the lines of communication open and do our level best to head off any sense of resentment that crops up.

As with most things, communication resolves a lot. It also doesn't hurt that my wife's second man really doesn't have much romantic interest at all outside of her, so he doesn't have someone else to juggle, and mine happens to be married to my best friend, which certainly complicated that relationship for awhile there but we've had it more or less down to a routine for a good while now.

> I’m sure it’s fun, my feeling is that these situations are often fun for some of the participants but aren’t fun or become quite hellish for others. Obviously I’ve no statistics but it seems to end badly more often than not. As do most relationships, admittedly.

There are unique challenges. Since one party is always a limitation on the other, there is sort of a baseline sense of rejection and de-prioritization one has to contend with. It just is what it is, so much of our culture and conditioning is built around this idea of you find ONE person and that one person is just, your entire world, forever and now you're sharing them. However, again the flip side to that is, you have another person too. So it sort of replaces the monogamous sole-relationship with... almost a sense of community belonging that is profound. It's not without it's costs to get it sorted, but IMO it's the best thing I've ever done in my life for my mental health. Not putting all your eggs in one basket has advantages, you know?

While writing a text editor, a compiler, an operating system, or a raytracer might make you a better programmer, it won't make you a better software engineer. In fact, it might make you worse at software engineering, because it embodies the disastrous "Not Invented Here" doctrine.

Hackers like to obsess about Big-O, data structures, HoTT, and other high-theory stuff, yet the following skills, essential for software engineering, are almost never discussed and even more rarely practiced:

- Deciding what to write yourself and what to take from a library

- Identifying high-quality libraries and frameworks that meet your project needs

- Deciding where optimization is worth the effort and where it is not

- Writing code that will still be readable to you (and others) a few years from now

- Thinking about the project as a large-scale, complex system with software and non-software dependencies

In that spirit, I offer the following alternative challenge: Create a web search engine. Don't bother with string matching algorithms etc., others have already done that for you. "Just" make a search engine (and crawler) that can actually work, even if it only supports a subset of the web and a single concurrent user at the beginning.
Now that we've seen this pattern emerge multiple times in the past (people losing a large chunk of their games due to the shutdown of the online catalog), I think it begs for a killer feature in the future: the ability to burn the games you've purchased from the online catalog onto write-once blank cartridges.

Distributing games via physical copies is already a profit loss compared to distributing them via an online store, and distributing different cartridges per-game means even more supply issues for that specific game. Allowing players to do a one-time burn of the game they purchased to a blank cartridge would mean game companies could sell the game at full price digitally, make an extra sale on the cartridge, and gamers get the security of knowing that if servers were going to be shut down, they'd have the ability to burn the games they care about to physical media and be able to keep playing them. Win win for everyone.

You apply the appropriate level of stimulus for where that person is currently and they exeperience positive growth. You apply too little stress and there is no adaptation or a reversal. If you apply too much, you get injured and go into reverse. I think this applies to any kind of challenge, be that physical like exercise, but also mental like learning, work, etc.

The more honestly you can evaluate where you are and what you can currently handle, the better you'll be. Don't be lazy but don't let your ego or dreams of being a big shot lure you into biting off more than you can chew.
I may move in the near future, and insist on a more efficient setup at the time. Thanks.
Agreed. This site selects for people who have made computers their entire life. Consider this an unsolicited reminder to touch grass.
Those are all good easy projects to do. Good intermediate-level follow-ons would be a JIT binary translator from any architecture to any other and expanding that simple OS to support SMP scheduling.
I mean, it hasn't yet? We don't all live together so the extra partners do retain a sense of novelty I feel, what with us being perpetually held back from the true "spousal" feel? But even so, with the two of them, I feel no need to like... add another. That's just too much, haha.

Does the economics improve with scale? A lot of things can easily improve costs by 10-500x when produced in extreme scales, which would be necessary to feed any meaningful percentage of the population. But it does seem hard to imagine beating soil growth for economics, unless climate change or some other environmental issue plays havoc.

The obvious answer to my mind is feeding colonies. All elemental nutrients can be sourced out of the regolith, as well as glass and metals for building materials. Other nutrients can be densely shipped from earth. Electricity is plentiful. Soil is expensive to move to space.
And here I thought witness intimidation wasn’t allowed - doesn’t that kind of mean they conceded their argument?

This article and the research it describes are so confusing to me, as someone who owns livestock and has been around a variety of farm animals. Of COURSE they have friends, can hold their pee, and have complex emotions. If people spent time with meat animals, there would be a lot more vegetarians.

I feel like the only reason we tell ourselves otherwise is because we want to be able to excuse terrible practices like battery cages and feed lots. If they’re dumb animals that can’t feel, it’s easier to allow that treatment. I didn’t think actual farmers or people who research farm animals would be surprised at these kinds of results.

The quote about reality having a liberal bias is a joke about how republicans lie a lot and then claim that the courts or the news (or everything, really) has a “bias” against them.

You're right, I will update my post. However, it's quite difficult to get this right on all devices as compared to i.e native where it just works. Plus, there are performance issues like those you mentioned that further impact scrolling and rendering responsiveness.
