New Book: V lang: Randomness Revisited using the V Programming Language
Chiming in as another fish+starship user. It's hard to imagine using anything else now; I get just about every feature I would ever want out of my shell with essentially zero configuration, which makes it easy to replicate my setup across a ton of heterogeneous devices and operating systems.
I'd argue there's an even more fundamental reason for the hazing process, as you call it, which is that the voting system itself incentivizes negative campaigning as just as if not more effective than positive. In other words, a dollar spent trashing the "other side" is destructive yet effective. This destroys healthy competition and encourages mutually destructive behavior.
One of my favorite posts. I'll always upvote this. Of course there are use cases one or two standard deviations outside the mean that require truly massive distributed architectures, but not your shitty csv / json files.

> The regulator will argue that the technology in the phone has already been paid for by the buyer of the hardware (which came with a license for iOS)

The user paid for the technology in the phone, but the dev didn't pay for use of Apple's IP to build their own product which they are offering to users.

I don't see regulators being able to challenge this (nor is it particularly unfair).

Indeed, 44100 may seem like a random-ish number until you look at its prime factors, 44100 = (235*7)^2. In other words, it has a lot of divisors - 81 of them in total, whereas 48000 only has 64.

Seeking Guidance: Advising Data Science Students Amidst Tech Industry Layoffs
How should I advise my computer and data science students about career prospects in the tech industry, given the recent wave of layoffs? As a university professor, I often encounter students without a strong inclination towards any specific field. Previously, I've recommended tech as a reliable path to a middle-class income. However, the current trend of tech layoffs has me questioning the validity of this advice. I'm seeking insights on how to best guide my students in these uncertain times.
my friend and i use to play in middle school, at the time i lived in Abilene TX during peak satanic panic so we played at school and kept all our stuff hidden from parents/teachers. He was a DM and loved making up these crazy stories and maps and all that. I just played along and had a lot of fun. One time we met up at a friend's house with some HS kids playing as a group. They took it so seriously the experience was miserable for me.

a while later, my friend made up a football game modeled after DND. It was amazing, you would roll for pass completions or quarter back sacks and other things. He was a bright kid but fell in with the wrong crowd and ended up dropping out of HS, not sure what he's doing now.

edit: the satanic panic thing was hilarious. I was a skater in middle school Abilene TX and in Baird TX there was a concrete drainage ditch we use to skate in. My friends and I would beg one of our older skater friends who had a driver's license to drive all of us out there to skate. One time someone spray painted a pentagram on the ditch and it was front page news in Abilene, the headline read "Scared in Baird!"

Except this doesn't help you visualize it either. I can understand this argument for online boards that, when you click on a piece, highlight all the legal moves. This set doesn't do that, it basically just reminds you how the pieces move.

I don't think anyone that actually plays or teaches chess thinks this is a good set design. Honestly amazed by how many people called this clever. I also find it weird that OP claims it makes the board "easier to probe", when it does the exact opposite. This is a textbook example of making up a problem, rather than a solution.
Poland has similar approval of the center and the right from both men and women.

Yet, there is a stark difference between the far-right (almost only men, especially young) and the left (much more support from women, especially young).

I wouldn't be surprised if a similar pattern followed elsewhere in Europe.
That doesn’t mean we can’t broadly observe a spectrum in many contexts between traditional/conservative and liberal/progressive. Even if some of the facts and priorities change between contexts.

My wife is quite "conservative " with right leaning values (for mexican) while I myself am pretty socialist/left leaning. But we leaned to live and enjoy our differences and opinions.

As someone who started playing in 1980, I really don't get this OSR. I remember wanting to play a wizard to cast spells but then realizing that I spent 95% of my turns throwing darts because there were no cantrips.

I have to wonder if people are being nostalgic for things that have nothing to do with the ruleset.

I agree, and as one who does exactly and only this on the search side, it's also something that falls flat on its face if you don't think a little more about the data and tasks involved.

I wrote about it here[0], but the gist of it for our use case is that if we don't intentionally include what may be considered "less relevant" data then we stand a good chance at failing our main generative task.

Because it does create security risks.

I think it would be extra-clever to generate a contact card for the user after sign up. Then they can just import it into their address book.

> Is there a liberal counterpart to Andrew Tate, for example?

There are plenty of non-crazy male role models. (Most successful public figures, I’d argue, trimmed at the most controversial.) The problem is they’ve largely abandoned the mantel of masculinity. Which is a problem, because it’s a core part of our humanity—you can’t repress it away.

So the right has been able to run wild with the term, which lead to a backlash labelling any expression of masculinity as toxic. Which is bullshit. But what’s also bullshit is the notion that whining instead of doing, throwing hissy fits and kicking those who are down is somehow masculine, which is the current pitch à la Tate et al.

Where do you get this idea? What is the limit on this principle? The DMA that you keep referring to is an European legal framework. Is it your opinion that everyone must bow down to what European legislators and regulators deem "beneficial"?

An argument that derives entirely from the idea that "the government has decided it is beneficial" is unpersuasive, IMHO.

I'd make two notes on this.

First, I've taken to looking at the economics as shared infrastructure costs - companies look at the volunteer built pot and make a self-interested decision on participating.

Second, this observation - "commoditize your complements" - seems still as apposite as when it was published in 2002: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/
I continue to wait for a compromise pointing to a cdn, cloud provider, or some other shared component like a JavaScript library that underpins the modern internet. This does not appear to be it according to the article. Something like an analytics service could really cause wide impacts.

Totally agree re: everything's a ticket. I consider the backlog to be only prioritized work - things we determined need to happen they're just not happening right now. Features we've agreed on, tech debt, etc.

I do think it's important to organize all feature requests, pain points, feedback etc. though but it needs to be separate of delivery management and it should be thematic (assuming there's a lot of feedback). That's the point of CustomerIQ (I'm a founder), to give that a home but also quantify themes over time. These would inform the backlog/possible make it in, but keeps delivery tools cleans.

All the way back in kindergarten, we went on walks to places and us kids, ages 4-6, were taught how to navigate safely. Stay on the sidewalk, wait for the green light. Look left, right, left again (unless you're in the UK. I guess...)

> Therefore I decided to build a lighter EPUB reading system, Bene. You're using it right now. This document is an EPUB — you can download it by clicking the button in the top-right corner.

Because, reading this on a desktop browser, I didn't even notice until it was pointed out. It's more obvious on mobile because the header takes up more of the viewport, but it otherwise behaves pretty much like a normal web page.

This is probably a good thing.

For what it's worth, I didn't see (or at least didn't notice) a spinner when loading the doc for the first time like some other people in the comments reported. I did notice it on my phone, but it went by pretty quickly. I'm not sure if that's the WASM program loading and if it only happens the first time you load the page.

The problem with these kinds of statistical snippets that papers like the FT produce, is that they are fishing for some kind of shocking/surprising easy to understand finding.

That doesn't mean that such statistics and charts actually show anything useful in a scientific sense.

The problem is that the information is presented as a scientific "truth", and many people don't have the understanding to know that all statistics and analysis involve human input (e.g. which tests to use, how to visualise, which data to exclude etc etc), and that this input introduces biases, whether accidentally or intentionally.

The average American man weighs 50% more than the average Japanese man (200 lbs vs. 135).

For the most part it is not free, but there are some free resources

and the paid programs don't cost too much, something like $400 for a 12-week online class. Also, the times are generally chosen to be convenient in the US, which might be difficult for your friend depending on where they are.

If you genuinely want something free, there is a ton out there, much of it good, but you might need to give up on "from reputable institutions". One person might post something online as a labor of love, and often that person might be employed at a reputable university, but if you want something backed up by an organization as a whole -- especially something more than "here are some notes you can read, or videos you can watch" -- then that organization will usually be asking what they stand to gain.

> using a custom file navigation program that resembled the popular “Norton Commander” application.

I wonder whether it had to anything with Volkov Commander which was a COM-sized much faster alternative to Norton Commander.

Fun memories: I uploaded it to SIMTEL in 1993 whose operator promptly complained to the operators of the university mainframe where I had an account for pirating Norton Commander and in turn I was booted from that VAX. Being 18, I ... didn't react the best however this incident started me on very interesting paths. One, I have social engineered my way back to another account (it didn't last long but still) and started using Unix and soon Linux because of this... way more useful knowledge it turned out than VAX/VMS.
