Wow, I also spent years reading those guides before playing by first ever Pokémon game. I even started to write my own guide. As a child, it was very fun.

Now I'm wondering how many people share the same experience.
Clerks was / is one of my favorite movies of all time.

(Far as Trek goes, I liked the original series.)
Here's a link to what I believe OP intends to show: https://explorer.ooni.org/chart/mat?probe_cc=RU&since=2023-1...
I had this discussion with "standard" (non-power) users, and the opposite reasoning actually applies.

The concept of upgrade is appealing in itself, and since the technical details are not understood (or worse, not relevant) to standard users, from their perspective, upgrading is a net win.
This is a powerful indictment and should not be missed.

I recently read an article about how video games shops don't need to worry about any kind of copying. The reason is that most video games make the lion share of their money in the first few months, and then it tapers off significantly. So, you can copy ideas, styles, and whatever, but it won't dampen opportunities for the original work to make money, so don't worry about it. This is good for the industry and for the creative world and for commons.

If a claimer can halt revenue for the first few months on any creative work, they can kill any opportunities to be made off public domain works. This a second order effect of the public domain laws.

There should be an amendment where a claimer should have to pay damages to the creators if they abuse this. I would love for Disney to pay when they file a claim in bad faith.
I have the same problem on iMessage. iCloud reports 7+gb of message storage being consumed, but each of my devices and my top conversations only report 1-2gb of content. I haven't found a way to force sync the missing content so I'm stuck paying the $1/month plan.
Shadow Dom is completely optional and you can leave it out if you don't need an encapsulated DOM at runtime. It's not at all welded to the implementation.
Single-mode, multi-mode, etc. All fibers. Let's use my LASER marker at work as an example. Divergence in that fiber happens AFTER two things happen - first the photons need to leave the fiber,then they have to cross-over their 'hip' (where the collimated beam is tightest) THEN they diverge.

That's how fiber LASER markers work. I'm the operator of them where I work (I do everything outside of SMT - x-rays, LASER marking, high-voltage testing, etc.) Every LASER coming out of that fiber hits focal point about 2 feet past the fiber, where it begins to diverge.

Do not trust a LASER coming out of a fiber to be unfocused or not have enough power density to blind you. Period.

You really don't understand why someone would prefer Mastodon because of its decentralized and open source nature, but would like to take some of the things they like about Twitter and include it in their Mastodon experience?

> Playing into people's FOMO

This implies that the only form of "algorithmic feed" is one where clickbait and inflammatory content is maximized.

An algorithmic feed can also mean something like a "for you" feed that tries to find you posts you'd find interesting based solely on your current follows, but from other accounts you're not following.

It can also mean a "what you missed" feed like the one Twitter used to have, that shows you the top posts from your follows since the last time you logged in. If someone doesn't open mastodon for a week because they were on vacation, it's not feasible for them to scroll through an entire weeks worth of posts to "catch up".

Understand that people have a wide variety of experiences they'd like to get out of social media, and that this whole mentality of "my idea of a social network is the most enlightened and correct one, and everyone else is stupid" just feeds into the stereotype of the socially inept engineer.
It's been a minute since I've used Windows but... what? Why would any program care?
They said they do support Auto Layouts.
Will Microsoft sort this out though? Looking at the state of modern software in general, I very much doubt it. Ridiculously complex software tends to have ridiculous bugs.

(Also, these half-baked UI upgrades have been going since Windows XP, not a single coherent concept since then.)
Good. companies should pay for their hubris in revenue and it should actively harm the brand they represent if and when they begin refusing to listen to customers and instead capriciously act against their interests.

Thats how capitalism works. good product = money, bad product = no company.

instead what we have in 2024 is a walking-dead of radioactive money golems on government life support through various federal contracts, siphoning profit from corporations by rent-seeking cloud products and racketeering licenses for services we've been able to provide in open source software for about thirty years.

Cold shower incoming but Microsoft has been a roaring dumpster fire of miserable products for 25 years now. Azure is a hastily constructed dog food factory powered by Office subscriptions, email users and XBox services thats slow featureless and expensive. Windows is a KGB agent who randomly resets your browser to his bosses favourite and makes you buy new hardware. Everything inbetween is just filler from this company that hasnt had a win since word processing.
I work at a small finance firm where the projects were ran by one or two people for probably a decade. They didn't rely on databases, or any programming, up until 6 years ago or so and spreadsheets were how they got work done. So when I have to figure out how to do something, I have to click through probably a dozen spreadsheets and track Excel formulas/ad hoc calculations. There's no documentation, presumably because they didn't anticipate anyone else taking over the project. Or maybe it was due to time constraint.

Anyway, I'm not documenting anything either. There's too much work.
In the US, roughly 80% of medical costs are from chronic illness, and roughly 80% of chronic illness is caused by obesity.

So it stands to reason that ~64% of those medical debt bankruptcies are nobody's fault but their own because they refused to put down the twinkies.

I love how everyone loves to denigrate the health coverage situation in the US but fails to account for how fucking fat and lazy we are. There is no political solution for our unique problems, short of public hangings of food industry executives and mandatory rationing, both of which are anathema to the American Zeitgeist. Single-payer healthcare would only make the problem worse, as it would increase the moral hazard to stuffing our faces.
It's 2024. I've been a GNU/Linux user for a long time and FOSS OS and tools have been the single most powerful force-multiplier in my personal and career development.

Linux has been for me a personalised curriculum of learning, empowering, sharing, and fun.

Why would I accept any corporation's desire to limit or deny that experience, place barriers on my computer, or spy on my computer usage?

It's 2024... not 1984, Microsoft.
It's all knowledge of the market. One has more, the other less. Or, differently said:
Sometimes you lose, sometimes the others win. :)

Of course, they might be at the position where they upfront can foresee some crucial changes because of the discussion and law making.
But, who hinders one to take part in the discussion by live broadcasting of the plenary? In Germany we have a TV channel for that. Other countries may also have this. Also the news coverage yields a source of ongoing things.

So, why pointing with a finger on the politicians, instead of getting active by oneself?
The article links to a presumably extremely specialised benchmark[0] with some surprising results. To me as a simple dev, at least:

Java (JIT) beats C++ and even Scala.

What is Julia HO and why is it so ridiculously fast?

The speed difference between Python and Pypy is massive. Is there any reason not to use Pypy? Shouldn't it be the standard?

This is the canary of plastic pollution similar to we knew about global warming in '70s. We know it's only going to get worse, but we're happy to ignore it until it gets really bad.
That only means that the railroad diagram is not a direct translation of the original grammar. Conversely, there are more than enough BNF variants that can do the equivalent inlining. I will personally denote your example as:

if_stmt:
'if' named_expression ':' block
('elif' named_expression ':' block)*
('else' ':' block)?

...which is no more complex than the original diagram, and reads much easily at least for me. In fact, that "original grammar" does support the equivalent syntax because it's a direct input to Python's PEG code generator. I don't know why `if_stmt` was described in that way, but such duplication is often done for readability and hardly surprising.
The little mermaid is Hans Christian Andersen rather than brothers grimmm.

The messaging is about curiosity and exploration.

Codidact, Stack Overflow, or your own blog are all good options. In my experience plenty of problems are niche enough to rank highly in Google for the few people searching for them.
I revived my email2json service
I have created an email-to-json service. This service creates a webhook call each time an email is sent to an address of your choice and pass the email content as json data to the webhook.

I have created this project a few years ago and then I got an email from a guy that wanted to do the same. I redirect my domain to his new service for free - but lately I have seen that he had abandoned his project, so I have revived mine back again.

email2json.com service.

What do you think?
Your observation that the process can be excessively drawn-out is accurate. I think should be changed.

I disagree, however, with your conclusion that the drawn-out process is a financial “killzone” for creators. I talk regularly with other successful YouTubers, and I don’t know anyone for whom the majority of their revenue comes from sporadically-released new content. Yes, it sucks if revenue from a new release is held up in Content ID escrow, but for me and for the other YouTubers I know well, that wouldn’t wreck our overall earnings during the escrow period.

If someone is reliant on month-to-month revenue from single-release videos to pay their bills, that sounds more like a personal financial planning issue than a problem caused by Content ID.

Would you talk a bit more about “claimers bully the industry far beyond the scope of legally binding terms”? I don’t know what you are referring to, and I’d like to hear more.
I think tail call optimization is specifically for this. it will let a function jump to another function rather than returning and then calling it. isn't that what's essentially described here? (honest question - i am always doubting my sanity looking at this stuff :DD)

I can imagine if higher level code isn't within a specific pattern, the compiler might struggle to recognize an opportunity for optimizing the code and skip it. - the higher level programmer could potentially arrange code in ways the optimizers better recognize.
it would behoove you to quote the entire context

> Robert and I came up with the same idea pretty much simultaneously: using methods on types to provide the operations that sort needed. That notion quickly grew into the idea that value types had behaviors, defined as methods, and that sets of methods could provide interfaces that functions could operate on. Go's interfaces arose pretty much right away.

> That's something that is not often not acknowledged: Go's sort is implemented as a function that operates on an interface. This is not the style of object-oriented programming most people were familiar with, but it's a very powerful idea.

What he actually said is that being able to pass a value type into a sort function and have it work without needing to explicitly define and implement an interface was not a style that most people are familiar with.

and indeed, C# absolutely does NOT work that way.

It probably would have been better for you to claim that Ruby had prior art, but even that's implemented in an entirely different way it's just that the behavior is closer to Go's behavior than C# is.
Mh, if you are on a somewhat trustworthy network - like your home WLAN - and need to get some files from a host on that network to another once, there is <python3 -m http.server>. Lookup your local IP, port 8000 is open, the PWD is being served. Throw wget/curl/telnet/nc at it and that's it.

For a more permanent setup, I tend to run SyncThing between my laptop and my stationary tower, for example to keep my ~/Projects and my ~/Documents up to date with each other. Sure, everything is in git as well. But it's neat to be able to just open up the laptop and your exact last project state or your last dwarfen fort is right there without really caring about it or dealing with it.

From there I'm currently considering adding a small vServer as a third SyncThing node so I don't have to start my laptop after travel once to get the data back onto the workstation. Would also add a bit of redundancy in case of fire, theft or law enforcement.

I'd also consider using the server as a bit of a file storage for some archival and data hoarding purposes, mirrors for some cloud services as well as backups of the syncthing state and such, but I'm not really sold on the tech to use there. Something like OwnCloud/Nextcloud looks pretty as a file store and might also allow family to store some stuff there... but it's quite the chunk of tech to maintain, patch, monitor and secure for something I technically could have via... sshd and some cloud volume? Not really decided there.
Your own example is pretty interesting. From 1950 to 1960, the population of Reno (capital of Nevada) increased by more than 40%! [1] Of course you're right there was also a huge surge in commuting, but people weren't the only ones leaving cities. Businesses also moved outside cities, taking advantage of cheaper real estate themselves, and new businesses also cropped up to service the booming suburban populations.

And IMO this is all a much more reasonable thing to aim for. Density can only take you so far. There are hard limitations and it comes with lots of nasty stuff. I think the only reason things are taking as long as they are to naturally go this direction is because of the hyper-centralization of businesses and seemingly endless low interest rates, making companies with billion dollar valuations quite trite. And at that scale, the long-term cost impact of real estate in an ultra-premium location versus in the middle of nowhere is a rounding error. But monopoly money economics will end, probably sooner rather than later - and it may well end up solving this problem, alongside a slew of others.

Unpopular take on NPM:

NPM is a very good package manager registry. It's just extremely popular because javascript is extremely popular and the entry barrier is tiny compared to other languages and registries.

These issues would pop up in any package manager, no matter the language, you just need enough users and usecases.
Interesting idea! I’m curious if one could create an app (purely as an experiment) where source control contains a repository of markdown docs and the build step just calls an LLM in a specific order.
Don't bots also get covertly installed on regular folks machines? And those machines will be running from domestic ISP IP address blocks which are commonly shared/cycled between the ISP's customers. Block those and you are blocking legit customers.
Are they providing assurances that these machines won't break through an update?
Upgrading my Legion gaming laptop to 11 led me to enough annoyances that I tried out Linux Mint for gaming for 2 months. Ultimately there are quality of life and reliability issues that drove me back to Windows 10. But 11 is just so damn obnoxious.
I would love one of these! And then just try to attempt to make a case for the samsung s23.. or bite the bullet to go for fairphone if cant

Using a forklift to do a battery swap on a class 8 truck is genius, IMO. There are a bunch of reasons why charging beat swapping for consumer vehicles, but most of those reasons don't apply to trucks on commercial routes. And pretty much every destination for a truck has a forklift. No need to build fancy robots.

I'm conflicted. You don't get sand everywhere, but they're uncomfortable and I never bring a lounger.
I love many things about Procreate, but their palm rejection is terrible (ie inexistent) compared to every other drawing app which means the canvas often zooms/rotates wildly while I’m drawing (maybe cause I’m left handed?), making it super frustrating to use; they’ve ignored requests to address it with eg canvas lock for years ;_;

It only changes your rank in this benchmark because the benchmark fails to use whole program optimization, ie as a benchmark it is meaningless.
There is also another link between Apple and the artist:

The Apple bite logo was designed by Rob Janoff at Regis McKenna's firm. McKenna says the out-of-order rainbow was inspired by the work of Bay Area commercial illustrator Tom Kamifuji.
Mantine.dev is another one for this list.
Sounds like Gnome 3.
Even W10 struggled to shake off the XP era control panel items, many of which still remain as another layer in W11.

I’m convinced that they released it prematurely as an attempt to claw back much attention from Apple’s M1 launch.
Just tried installing it, fails as some of the dependencies have been made private :(
Yes. It’s less common but looks unremarkable to me.
Exactly. The issue is that postgresql takes 37 bytes per row normally, which then causes it to spill out of RAM on the limited VM specified for this challenge, causing the query to be I/O bound, hence the array representation and unnesting to fit it back into RAM. I'm guessing your machine has more RAM ?

"the IP may be renewed every day or every hour)"

What a coincidence! Right now from my phone on my carrier's network while traveling in the UK I am unable to reach https://cheapskatesguide.org My phone's IP address is likely on this guy's blacklist of 56M addresses. So I am forever going to remember whatever service this website provides may be arbitrarily unavailable unless I'm on a know good IP address. Overly aggressive blacklists like this are lame, make you lose customers, and go against the Internet's fundamental principle which is about the ability to exchange information with anyone in the world.
that’s an interesting way of justifying homophobia and transphobia.
Forecasts and Implications for the Years Ahead: 2024 Year-End Outlook

This was my exact sentiment some time ago after remapping a bunch of keys, along with "why didn’t I think of this sooner".

It still feels magical to this day and removes 90% of annoyances when typing.

Using standard keyboard layouts is like riding a toy sized tricycle now.
This resonates with me...
The FDA isn't "toothless"...
What else would you like to see? I have some other time related tools that I will be launching but would love to hear what you have in mind.
That’s really cool. It reminds me of Meta’s hermit, which intercepts system calls and records them so that they can be replayed back deterministically.

Non-determinism is the name of all testing. Anything that we can do to improve it is extremely important.
I recommend writing on your personal website! You will own your content and you can design the site and the user experience as you want.

Search is only one method through which someone can find what you write. I read a lot of personal websites that I found out about through friends, HN, and links from one site to another.
Most enduring sofware is always those "one-off prototypes" that people cook up over a few days.
Have you ever developed anything substantial with Objective C? If not, I suggest that 'unfamiliar' might be more apt than 'archaic'. Anyone starting a non-trivial iOS project in 2015 in Swift would still need to learn the basics of Objective C because so much of the documentation and examples were still in Objective C at that time. I don't think it's accurate to say that learning Objective C in 2015 had no benefits.
I lived in Iceland for several years recently. One thing you have to keep in mind, is this philosophy is pretty much born out of necessity. Until the US Military built a base in Keflavík (which later became an international airport), the country was quite behind the times. As one friend put it to me "When you were landing on the moon we were getting running water installed"

Iceland was a very poor country for most people other than a few well off in the fishing industry. Today it's still relatively "medium" with few people very wealthy, but also almost no one in destitution. The attitude is that everyone should be able to live a good life, and while it's not truly socialist, it's pretty darn close.

Þetta reddast is used somewhat interchangeably with "I don't feel like dealing with this" and "Some how things will work out even though it doesn't look like it now" and "fuck it". To most people it's kind of an in joke you say when something really sucks.
By now, I assume everywhere in the developed world requires retention ponds to be built to offset whatever land gets paved and/or is no longer permeable due to development.

Bazel is also 1.4 million lines of code which proves the point of how complex of an endeavor this is. Bazel has a mixed reputation due to that complexity and the overhead that comes with it, and is definitely not just a simple drop in replacement for a language's existing tooling.
Lovely writeup. Making that webpage must have taken quite some time also?

A question out of curiosity. What are your thoughts on re-writing in Swift?

If it were me, I am sure my tech-fingers would itch for a rewrite, but my business hands would slap those thoughts away.
No, you have it confused with 1/5/2024. We don't use dashes with this order.

No. If foo@1.2.3 is already published, you can not overwrite foo@1.2.3 - you'd publish foo@any.other.version (typically something at least ^1.2.4) and mark foo@1.2.3 as deprecated (which won't actually make it unavailable like an unpublish would).
