I suggest that people who care enough about these things (not me, I’m just informed about it), come together and make a new lossless encoder format that has feature parity with the proprietary/“professional” codecs.
Very cool. What are the practical implications for this? Would it ever be wise to deploy these techniques for a commercial program? Is the end result more memory efficient during execution?
> Would it be possible for players to have unique camera perspectives when split, and then reorient to the same perspective when within a given distance to transition to single screen?

Technically, yes. There's not any major technical hurdle here. You'll probably have to render a bit more than required for each screen, so your shaders don't create seams near merge (because they may behave differently at the edge of whatever they're sampling). Also you'll have to decide what you want to do about on-screen effects (hit notifications etc) on merge. You may get something that looks like seams to our brain's pattern recognition anyways as you get close to merge (a "triangle" looking shape on floor/walls when perspectives only slightly diverge). I suspect the latter is why the game you mentioned had a transition - besides providing a visual to each player that they can now also look at the other half of the screen.
Weather app too...
We know the other ways, in fact stuff like NGEN have been a CLI set of commands since the early days.

However .NET (alongside Java), has a culture of great tooling, we only do stones and sticks programming when there is no way around it.
I think it's pretty similar semantically, though not syntactically — a lot of it is applying the last chapters of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which shows you how to build a Lisp interpreter and compiler.
Not sure why you obfuscated it but here's the code for anyone curious:

> The only reasonable solution I've heard to the phone problem is individual parents getting involved and active in monitoring and limiting their children screen time, and unfortunately, involved parenting is not something that can be legislated into existence.

This! You don’t need laws for this, the solution starts with you. Then more people like you, then you’re the majority and the schools ban phones just like they did in that one school in Ireland recently.

Parenting is hard, and just like in the 90s, it’s easier to blame the technology than assume responsibility.
Yeah, the syntax is heavily inspired by Elixir, which was of the first languages that "looked right" to me. And Elixir's syntax is very Ruby-inspired, in turn.
The daily limit is 300. It's 30 per conversation. It was actually unlimited before. They limited because on long conversations it gets "unaligned".
Surprised how well JS (node and others) seem to come out when I've had firsthand experience of switching from JS to Go to speed up an algorithm type question and had the Go version crank through a bruteforce much much faster.

Maybe I made an accidental optimization in my language translation, or maybe there are some operations that are much slower in JS and these benchmarks didn't hit any of them.
Gemini Pro seems at par with GPT-3.5-Turbo, and lags behind GPT-4.
That reminds me of a book quote I saw today, reproduced within another work about financial fraud. ("Lying for Money".)

> For the most part, it was based on two simple truths: first, that a majority of the richest one percent of Americans are closet degenerate gamblers, who can't withstand the temptation to keep rolling the dice again and again, even if they know the dice are loaded against them; and, second, that contrary to previous assumptions, young men and women who possess the collective social graces of a herd of sex-crazed water buffalo and have an intelligence quotient in the range of Forrest Gump on three hits of acid, can be taught to sound like Wall Street wizards [...]

I keep a wishlist of things I want, and I share that with the family. My wife gets a different wishlist, for the more expensive things.

This year, I put a lot of much more varied stuff on both wishlists that I plan on buying for myself, even if I don't get them as Christmas or birthday gifts. IMO, I should have been doing that all along.

My wishlist is on Amazon, but you could keep one anywhere that you like.

As far as I remember, Arachne also did something similar.
Great

I used this years ago and then forgot about it

Tested on arch first to set it up then installed on my raspberry pi zero w.

Tried all text only browsers on the pi zero and it is a pain. Dillo is far better.

You must create the dillorc file or add the default dillorc from the git page.
Change the dillorc as you want, ie, start page, search page, colours etc.

well pleased
After getting my own fair share of nostalgia (anyone remember running dillo on Damn Small Linux? I used to do that because all I had to run Linux in ~2003-2004 was a 486dx) and reading some of the comments, I think that Dillo could be a nice alternative to what Gemini was supposed to be.

If we could agree on some kind of "low-tech web" (a subset of html, a subset of css, a subset of javascript -- or maybe no javascript at all?) then Dillo could be the champion of this.
Windows Forms is basically this, a better MFC version, and even if it was only for faster startup times, NGEN has been there since day 1.

The biggest issue has been WinDev, that contrary to Google's culture in ChromeOS and Android, they will kill any attempt to touch their precious COM and C++ tools, thus the way the Longhorn project went down, only to see its ideas redone in COM, and WinRT coming to existence.

What we're not good at is overcoming humans. We could have a much better present that needs less fixing if people simply behaved differently, economically, socially, politically. It would be great if these breathless screeds could encourage figuring out how to have tech benefit humanity.
You're throwing around the word "audit" far too casually. In all likeliness, you and your friends were not audited. The CRA probably asked you to submit supporting documents such as receipts and other written records to prove your claim, as you are legally required to do.

If you want to do something that's not "a dime a dozen" (ROFL), grab a Mac, download Xcode and implement a full VK100 (aka GIGI) emulator with ReGIS graphics ...and a client-side GiGi BASIC interpreter. Note: Going from memory, IIRC.. VK100 (despite having 100 in the name) only implemented VT52 (aka ANSI) functions...not the full VT102 suite.

TLDR:

"After surging roughly 50% to a record high in 2023, a rare rating downgrade from Wall Street helped push Apple stock down 3.65% on Tuesday, shaving over $100 billion from the tech giant’s market cap.

Barclays analyst Tim Long tagged Apple with an “underweight” rating due to weak iPhone demand Tuesday morning, arguing its shares could sink roughly 13% to $160 over the next 12 months.

It’s rare to see any analyst hit America’s highest-valued company with a negative rating. Apple is rated at hold or better by 40 out of 44 Wall Street forecasters, according to data provided to the Wall Street Journal by FactSet. But Long said that iPhone 15 sales have been “lackluster”—particularly in China, which has reportedly banned government officials from using Apple’s flagship product due to security concerns. He also expects sales of the iPhone 16, which is set to be released in September, to be weaker than expected. “We see no features or upgrades that are likely to make the iPhone 16 more compelling,” he wrote.

<...>

There have also been warning signs about waning iPhone demand for some time—and that’s critical given that iPhone sales made up nearly 50% of Apple’s total revenue in the third quarter of 2023.

UBS analyst David Vogt, who holds a neutral rating and $190 price target for Apple, warned in a Monday note that iPhone 15 sales have been “soft” in many key regions lately, including China and India.

Vogt explained that U.S. iPhone sales to end customers (called sell-through) fell almost 13% from a year ago in November, while China sales were down 6% over the same period. This led Apple to lose 50 basis points of global smartphone market share year over year in November, and 320 basis points of smartphone market share in China over the same period. “New competition is a challenge,” Vogt said of the data."
Good points! I looked at Perfect Table Plan, and it seemed perhaps a bit "too complex" at the moment.

I agree that it takes some iteration, and that's why the UI is meant to help tweaking, and testing new ideas. You can lock people in place and keep tweaking, and go back in your work.

Btw, how many people attended your wedding when you used Perfect Table Plan?

> What makes you think you arent just looking at the extremly visible dysfunction subgroup?

What makes you think that is the case? Is there any statistical evidence to suggest that (for example) opioid additics are easily separable into one group that will consistently keep it "under control" and another group that is doomed?

There's also the time dimension--some of the people ruined today may have sure seemed like they had everything under control earlier in their lives, but the unstable equilibrium couldn't last forever.

While there might be hordes of people you would never expect who abuse serious drugs in unerringly competent secrecy throughout their lives... but at that point it starts to seem a little fallacious: All true Scotsmen are undetectable and you know they exist because they haven't been detected.

Go's AOT compiler is actually not that sophiscated (comparable to -O1 in most C compilers, possibly even worse). Was your program running only for a fraction of a second? Then the JIT may haven't fully warmed up and even a basic AOT compiler has a better chance to win.

While Slack isn't perfect either, it's miles better.

Thanks! While working on this, whenever I would browse another language project's site I got into the habit of asking myself what I wanted to see, in what order. For better or worse, I really want to see a language's syntax first. I think it gives some context, and helps readers connect the concepts of a language to something more visual and concrete.

Is this how academics write about their own work in blog posts now?

The result seems really strong. It's sad the author feels this kind of hype is necessary.
If anyone wants to build this by themselves, I recommend using an optimization solver library like OptaPlanner. It basically implements standard optimization algorithms you can read in academic papers (which are interesting to read!) so you don’t have to.

You can probably write a basic planner in under an hour with all the constraints you can think of. You can just continue to fiddle with the constraints and weights until you are happy without having to worry about duplicates or errors.

I’ve used it to solve cost optimization problems for companies I’ve worked with and it works really well.
>This field is a cesspool and the Justice Department can't burn it down fast enough. There is literally 0 real world use cases after 15+ years other than fraud or find a bigger sucker speculation

It has become a truly stupid, tedious, repetitive cliche on this "hacker" site to see ignorant derision like this keep popping up. Sure, there are lots of scammers and con artists in the cryptocurrency world (though far fewer of them than in the normal world of banking, stock, and other financial markets), but the fundamental technologies are indeed interesting, potentially and actually useful and also something that real world people who don't live in privileged bubbles of sound government regularly do use in many parts of the world. I suggest you take a few minutes read about those things before shitting on something you personally dislike.

Also, in a world where even arguing for financial privacy and strong control of one's right to transact is often imlied to be "suspicious", i'm glad at least something has developed enough to potentially be a counterweight to using mainstream payments systems and praying to the regulatory gods that some megacorp doesn't arbitrarily, algorithmically and without recourse or any detailed explanation, block you completely from moving your money legitimately. No thanks to having absolutely no alternative to those systems.

I was running FF (and netscape before that) on such machines, and they were about the worst possible program to run. My memory of browsers of the era was slow, buggy, and bloated. It was barely usable because the connection speed was by far the biggest bottleneck.

I was using dillo heavily at the time, when we didn't mind differences in rendering. After that I switched to konqueror. As the dhtml/js craze exploded, I caved in to ff when more often than not the websites didn't load or work as expected.

There is obviously a LRU-like element in the algorithm because

1. Evacuation generally shifts items to the right.

2. The Hand moves to the left.

3. Items skipped by the Hand (appearing to its right) are spared from eviction until the Hand wraps around.

You can see it in the animation. D is flipped to visited just in the nick of time, and the Hand moves over it. Then it is spared from then on until the Hand wraps around (the animation doesn't go that far). Items that are used frequently will tend to be in the Visited state when the Hand passes over them, and stay cached.

Why does the author not use a native HA database such as Cassandra or ScyllaDB?
>On a cache hit, SIEVE marks the object as visited. On a cache miss, SIEVE checks the object pointed to by the hand. If the object has been visited, its visited bit is reset, and the hand moves to the next position, keeping the retained object in its original position in the queue. This continues until an unvisited object is found and evicted. After eviction, the hand moves to the next position.
