You're using the term "people" loosely here (to refer to a single corporation), and there's no "right to run a dominant and deceptive messaging network while allowing no interoperability", but in any case, we'd only need whatever We The People (the actual people, not 1 singular corporate "person" out of hundreds of millions of actual people) decide we need, regardless of what Apple Incorporated, the single "legal person", wants. I don't see how that's authoritarian, though that's an easy baseless attack to lob by those who disagree with We The People.

There are plenty of countries out there that preference corporations over people (I think that's the technical definition of a fascist government). One is free to move there, if they find democratic rule so distasteful.

Personally, I prefer majority rule rule to minority rule, given a choice between the two, and likewise prefer rule by the people to rule by a minority of corporate "persons".

Talk to me about lifetimes of Boxed RC Mutex then… because last time I checked, I had to do some insane amount of <T> to get a concurrent collection synchronized. I’m all for functional. Just don’t over use it in places where a simple function would suffice and try not to use it when dealing with recursive allocations of temporary arrays. Rust has come a long way but I feel like some of their style choices were to feel superior rather than make something functional. Go is a great example of simple, functional, but not quite as robust - as Rust.

Hey everyone,

I developed this app about six months ago to help people quickly use AI in any app. However, due to time constraints, it currently only supports accessing ChatGPT.

It has been totally free since its release. I have received some donations from users, and I am very grateful to these friends. From their feedback, I learned that people like its simple UI and the ability to get ChatGPT translation results in any input box.

However, I currently don't have much energy to maintain it, so there are many bugs in the current 14.0 system. In order to benefit more friends who use it, I am considering open sourcing it.

Friends, if you like any aspect of it, please let me know, and I will make a decision soon.

Thank you all. You can learn more about it at https://macaify.com.
In C++, I've absolutely had to explicitly use std::endl while debugging to make sure that my debug messages actually were visible when they were supposed to be. Using std::flush also works if you don't want to force a newline. However, in my experience, printing a newline character via std::cout does not flush the stream.

If this is a one-school-year course then you have time to cover a tremendous amount of ground. Looking back on when I first learned programming, I would say the things that helped the most were (1) writing code as soon and as often as possible, (2) starting with a relatively simple language, (3) being given snippets of code and having to choose which of 3 or 4 possible outputs was the correct one, (4) being given working programs and having to enhance them (eg, add a language feature to a simple compiler, or add transactions to a simple database, or enhance a shopping cart on a web page, or modify a simple text editor, etc.), (5) programming a game, (6) being given pieces of code and having to identify the bug.
Many years ago, I recall a demo of someone walking around a very large field in VR, but there was an algorithm to gently curve a person who thought they were walking in a straight line, so as to give the illusion of unlimited space to walk around in. Similar thing happening here, with the exception that the person doesn’t feel like they are moving, and might get nauseated. With MR, and a decent sized house, I think you could perhaps programmatically create VR landscapes/levels that give the illusion of endless-walking while simply guiding you around your limited play area. That would be pretty cool, and I could see working well with games that had an indoor setting, especially if you added virtual elevators to get you to do a 180 in a natural way. Maybe add in a teleportation system like Portal, and you’ve got the recipe for exploring what feels like immense areas all from a small home.
Nice write-up! For a better maintainable version, I would recommend `yt-dlp --dump-json` instead. This will give you hundreds of other supported sites for free.

Yugoslavia, in the end, was not much different from the USSR although it was not aligned with it. It was a forced combination of different states or regions (within Yugoslavia they were called republics) that were culturally or ethnically distinct, like much of Europe, but that identity per se wasn't the issue, rather that it was a forced combination and that people were treated differently, with Serbia having a dominant role to the detriment of others. It wasn't due to a lack of "brotherly love" but more like the presence of "brotherly oppression".

Some might argue with this but it's notable that a majority wanted out of Yugoslavia and Serbia was willing to use force to stop that.

In my travels, those who think of the communist era as "the good old days" are usually those who had a relatively privileged position in those times and were affiliated with the communist party and often Serbian. For most people communism was an oppressive system that delivered little in the way of quality of life compared to democratic states and repressed personal freedoms.

This is why acceptance rates cannot be considered in a vacuum as a measure of universal quality. Informed people generally understand that there is a lot of overlap in the bell curves of the intellectual abilities of Stanford and Berkeley undergrads. Stanford may generally have a higher stature in that it has a stronger association with wealth, but only fools believe it has the monopoly on student intellect in the Bay.
Mobile really messed us up. We had IRC but it just didn't work well in a mobile environment, and we let Google rug pull us with XMPP Google Talk. App Store monopolies seem like they're coming down, but stuff like having to use Google's push notification service and whatever is really limiting.

We do have common protocols: email, IRC, XMPP, Matrix, Signal, MLS, all of which are various good degrees of well-specified and open source. We have the tools, we just essentially need to be OK with saying "WhatsApp is just for interacting with my kid's teacher; my friends and family use Signal". I think nerds, geeks, punks, and artists forget we're the interesting ones. It's fine to use Threads for sports/normie stuff and Mastodon/Signal for our stuff. The separation is a gift.

> Instead, more modern CPU architectures have focused on implementing features that improve performance of the whole memory subsystem.

The most important of those features is register renaming. (You mentioned it briefly; the article doesn't touch on it at all.) When your CPU actually has a few hundred hardware registers -- which many modern CPUs do! -- the fact that your ISA only has names for a dozen or so of those suddenly becomes much less important.

> Some architectures (like arm) implemented load/store multiple instructions that more or less solved this problem

The LDM/STM instructions were removed in A64 (64-bit ARM), actually! They were clever at the time, but they're difficult to work around in the pipeline.
Another reason why today's corporations love teams and flat hierarchies is because they turn "responsibility" into a post-modern concept that fluidly adapts to mean everything or nothing. One day the boss is the boss, the next day nobody is accountable for anything, and decisions are really just the magical synergy of team dynamics.
If you count negative value developers I can totally believe in a 10x one. It's just been my experience that most people labelled superstars are negative value developers.

Realistically, they would be very uncommon, and odds are that your small company has 0 of them. Of the developers I know that are actual superstars when compared to average developers, they have zero problem displaying their value and make upwards of 7 figures. All of them are aged 40+ too.

So, yeah, I don't have a problem with the concept. I just think it gets misapplied.

So instead of bell curve, they should be using power law distribution.

Well, I don't think I'd be able to learn much just from watching the concert: teaching is fundamentally different from doing.

So I think even that example does not universally hold. I'd still appreciate a write up with tips on what's important and if there are any transitions to focus on with only the bits on video where some of that is demonstrated.

Now, I can barely contort my fingers into one riff, so I lack the knowledge to understand what I am missing, but I'd still have a hard time learning that from video.
My understanding was that OS-9 allowed the Radio Shack Color Computer II to support 2 users without lagging, one on a terminal, and the other locally, even though it only had a bit-banging serial port to talk through to the terminal. All from a single floppy drive.

Yes, given that Intel's ability to have smaller process sizes helped greatly to paper over any design flaws. The first SPARC V7 CPU had 110k transistors on 1300nm process to the 386DX's 275k on 1000nm and less process.

Also, the accuracy, I expect that since I can get precise measurements, my maps of the streams, marshy areas, and other features are going to be a lot more comprehensive. Basically, I can get detail down to the level I want, just for the time I want to spend putting stick to ground.

You'd have to have a GPS capable of taking the correction data, which a lot of units can't.

Some tips:

- If material is a few years old yet still very highly regarded, it's probably worthy.

- Prepare yourself some content in advance that's both interesting and useful so it's low-effort to switch if you find yourself reading or scrolling out of boredom. I have rails guides bookmarked for this purpose - 5 minutes waiting for an uber gains me some useful knowledge while alleviating boredom.

- Search wide, be selective. A few good reads is better than a lot of average/bad ones. Be prepared to skip chapters if it isn't delivering value after 2-3 chapters, and quit entirely if you can't find worthy content after reading a few chapters + table of contents and skimming a few more chapters. Give it a little longer if you're unfamiliar with the topic or style.

- A lot of 200+ page books could have instead been 10 page essays. Quickly move over unimportant sections if you get the impression they're filler. Same (or, more so) for other mediums too.
It's hard for me to say this without wondering if I am being rude, but did you mean to say "dig down"?

> It's just been my experience that most people labelled superstars are negative value developers.

Who labelled them? The self-labelled are often crappy.

The last superstar I worked with seemed like a Cro-Magnon developer. He used outdated tech, didn't understand many modern dev techniques. However he was extremely productive (he was very very good at concentrating on necessary outcomes and ignoring make work). His value was _far_ more than 10x the average developer. He certainly didn't seem to be valuable. Despite his serious faults he produced gold. He was wildly undervalued by other developers.

Keep your eyes open - some superstars are invisible. This especially holds in other soft areas like marketing.

Similar premise, but not as technically reproducible. You can create and manage your own custom images using the blue-os build systems, it's dead simple. Basically you're just writing a Dockerfile. Most of the filesystem is read-only like NixOS, but it acts like a traditional Linux system with FHS support.

It's that last part that made me switch to it from NixOS. I was tired of random things not working because of Nix's opinions on how things should work. I run Bluefin Linux with Fleek and get all the benefits I liked about Nix with none of the nonsense.
