I will certainly concede that it is a lot of friction.

The mailing list is also very clunky, I will further concede that.

And no matter how you slice it, this is all still community-hostile behaviour, I will also concede that too.

I think part of the reason for all of this friction is precisely because they don't want to keep the barrier of entry that low. It's no secret that the Java community is *ENORMOUS*. Having a little bit of friction goes a long way in quelling the influx of repetitive discussion topics. I'm not saying that's a good excuse -- more so saying that there probably isn't enough incentive to take the effort to fix these friction points.

And leaning into that further -- I'm not sure how much they are missing out on by keeping these friction points *on official Java discussion platforms, like the mailing lists*.

The fact is, there are an influx of Java opinions being given on the internet with no help from the Java Team, and if they want to get the public opinion, these social media sites will have it within hours. So if they already have that, why take on the massive burden of opening the flood gates on their official community discussion platforms?

Still, that's no excuse for things like no search function or the lack of moderator activity. It's probably something they have just de-prioritized in the name of getting features out faster.
It falls apart immediately in motion sadly. Though if combined with BFI/strobing it can indeed get “close”.

Source: I have a house full of CRTs and am continually trying to move away from them as I know I can’t keep them going forever (I can do basic repairs). I have a collection of consumer TVs, VGA monitors and broadcast monitors I use currently, including a 21” trinitron that still sits on my desk.

My endgame for “close enough” will be a reasonably size 4k oled with like 60hz strobe which will cover a large enough portion of legacy content.
The plants don't simply grow in the pot, you had to get potting soil which had to be transported and was most likely packaged in plastic.
You might have driven somewhere to get the seeds, etc.
The pots had to be made from clay (needs quite some energy to be fired in a kiln) or plastic.
And your scenario might be even one of the more optimal ones, with no additional land use...
Nobody wants to use GNUStep in 2024.

Their UI framework is also rendering via the GPU, so it's more likely they'd wrap it in a GTK/Qt/whatever window and then just render accordingly. You don't need GNUStep for it since there's little "mac"-isms you need to cover.
I get the uncomfortable feeling that there are post-hoc and genetic fallacies floating around this piece, especially when the author keeps implying certain attitudes or beliefs are inseparable from Christianity. (Directly or indirectly, historically or potentially.)

> When we accept the Christian emphasis on weakness as a crucial prior, many other moral conclusions follow.

Perhaps... but it does not follow that emphasizing something while Christian is the only possible way to maintain those practical moral policies.

> Here’s the problem for the feminists busy sawing at the branch on which they sit: The same Christian ideas that grant feminism its moral force carry other implications.

This sounds an awful lot like "Feminism has to be Christian because it involves caring for the weak and Christianity is the only real way to do that."

> Whether we like it or not, we cannot place the protection of the vulnerable at the heart of our ethical system without reaching the conclusion that the unborn child ought not to be killed.

By that logic, when the "protection of the vulnerable" is "at the heart of your ethical system" then all those believers must be vegan.

Yet, strangely enough, Christianity has existed through many centuries without being notably known for that! The discrepancy means Christianity does not reeeeealy prioritize protecting the vulnerable... or else it means that additional conditions--like considering personhood--are permitted.
> Harsh consequences don’t actually prevent the offense

But they do protect the public.
I thought that they ate Pokemons considering that there are no non-Pokemon animals in the universe?

Actually, the anime even says outright that one of the Pokemon is basically extinct because it's so delicious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrd128i8YGI
> The sad part is the production value and actors were still on their A game.

The actors, perhaps. But I recall at least one mixup where a Starbucks cup was accidentally left in a scene and filmed in one of the later Seasons
This is a wonderful example of identifying a problem that current solutions overlook. As an emerging company lawyer, this is something we do constantly, albeit in excel form or through conversations with founders. Carta and others are great at creating efficiencies for scale, but sometimes these simple problems go unsolved. Kudos for building this, and never hurts to get lawyer input which might help with development and certain complex challenges! Awesome start!

Wheels falling off planes is "actual news."

We've now reached the stage where accusations of clickbait became just as meaningless as accusations of fake news.
"Just too close" is extremely vague, and likely isn't enough to trigger copyright infringement claims. Consider that Warhammer and Warcraft weren't similar enough to be infringing, same with Digimon and Pokemon. If this [1] isn't infringing on Pokemon, I seriously doubt Palworld is either.

You have perfectly described my experience when I found a show-stopper bug in Unity ^_^

A project budget in the single millions isn't good enough yet for the gods of Unity to consider allowing you to fix bugs in their engine yourself. Instead, you need to file a support ticket and then delay your launch by a year.
The Letterkenny finale was damn near perfect. It was the perfect blend of what you expect from the show and nostalgia.
And they definitely, describe in great detail in patent documents how to make their "secret sauce", right? No, wrong. Patents are often written in a way to give maximum protection and minimum information how to recreate the thing.

A lot of ABCs have more of a chip on their shoulder about China, or for that matter immigrants from China itself. Every Saturday, a bunch of falun dafa protesters are out in downtown Seattle protesting against the CCP, most of them just Chinese Ayis (middle aged women).

Gordon Chang “china will implode” articles are a popular straw man whenever any news articles mentions China possibly going into recession.

Air purifiers do not filter dust and should never be bought for that purpose.

> You don't just clean a filter and say I KNOW there is 12 months more.

You do, I have been using two for about 6 years, and you can easily get at least 3-4× runtime out of authentic filters. I refer to external particulate matter sensors and ignore whatever the purifiers themselves are showing. You can also easily clean the filter with hot water, it removes any smells and has no effect on its purifying performance (again, using a couple of external sensors as reference).
Even for the algorithms that look easy on paper (nothing easier than a matrix multiplication, right?), the real issues are memory accesses. A huge amount of work went into making these libraries cache-friendly. Not so much effort was put in making them NUMA-friendly and multi core was often added after the fact, probably not as efficiently as it could have been.

And then, there are many parts of the algorithms deep in things like the various matrix decompositions that are difficult to parallelise because of non-trivial data dependencies. It’s easy to write some code to pivot a matrix; it’s very hard to do it in an efficient and scalable way. And because all the higher-level routines depend on them, so they have a large effect on overall performance.
I’m not getting worked up about it, I just don’t really understand this line of criticism. Yeah, it’s not perfect and the people pushing it as some messianic currency solution are obviously grifters. But what technology is perfect?

It is being used right now, today, in ways that benefit people’s lives in demonstrable ways, and so with your admitted lack of alternatives, I don’t quite understand the reasoning here, unless you’re just arguing about the abstract definition of good.

I focused on the real world knowledge because I think a lot of the criticism of bitcoin in general lacks an understanding of how the tech is really used, and is just abstract academic criticism.
Solid article, although part of the conclusion is a pitch to purchase the author's book on Django + Hotwire, so perhaps take with a grain of salt.
Most (all?) basics could do that at the time: I used it a lot to get more on one screen (moving through numbered basic code was even more annoying than moving through code now). Also it saved a few bytes here and there which was quite crucial as there was not a lot of mem.
I am Just guessing.
Maybe it's the tap water. It goes through multiple rounds of filteration to make it suitable for drinking and now it's poured into the soil that does not require so pure water.
Or it could be the pot itself.. a large pot along with the stands and accessories to grow a dozen plants will be less green compared to open farming .

Could be that reusing waste water or using greener pots could reduce it and yet have more carbon footprint than open farming..
Honestly wish I could downvote this post. So there’s that.

People are asking what settings would be useful to tweak. Check out the following:

- gcmh -package and gcmh-mode and/or gc-cons-threshold variable (former should take over the latter)

- read-process-output-max

- jit-lock-defer-time

- package-native-compile

Doom Emacs sets gcmh in its initialization so tweaking that might not be needed there. You may still want to touch gcmh-high-cons-threshold and gcmh-idle-delay-factor. Here are mine currently:

(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 1024 1024 1024))
(setq gcmh-high-cons-threshold (* 1024 1024 1024))
(setq gcmh-idle-delay-factor 20)
(setq jit-lock-defer-time 0.05)
(setq read-process-output-max (* 1024 1024))
(setq package-native-compile t)

I've done nothing scientific to check out if these help at all, though, so take them with salt. With and without these, emacs seems quite sluggish at least on a Macbook, in certain modes. On Linux things seem to be a bit better.

> The moment any search engine becomes commonplace I think they will inevitably succumb to SEO

Thankfully when I come across a irrelevant domain in Kagi I can just remove it from any future search results completely. If enough people do that, it may show up on the "most commonly removed" list inviting others to also ax it.

I rarely ever have an issue with spam on Kagi just by largely using the standard filters, and I'm confident this will remain the case.

And unrelated but I really like that I can redirect all reddit urls in search results to old.reddit.com, twitter to nitter etc. very helpful in searching on mobile.
Pretty weak arguments, sounds like someone has an axe to grind. They say the majority of emission increases comes from the infrastructure needed. This makes sense if you build some infrastructure and do large scale agriculture as opposed to many people building infrastructure and doing small scale gardening. But it presupposes that the carbon footprint of the people doing gardening would otherwise be zero. Fact of the matter is, people need to do something with their lives, and if they don't do gardening, they'll do something else. I might spend my sommer in the garden as opposed to someone flying to Spain for a summer vacation. I have a friend that doesn't use his backyard for gardening, but he built a pool during COVID lockdowns. Is the carbon footprint of that lower than that of a garden shed? Doubt it.

See the comment cousin of yours. I didn’t find much, and what I did find was mostly stuck in PDFs.

Edit: here is one article discussing a specific Shanzhai phone. https://drprem.com/tech/cect-t32-apple-cant-approve-this-clo...

I’m pretty sure it’s Windows CE and not WinMo, most reviewers weren’t concerned about the difference. WinCE was the core of WinMo (well, until windows phone), but it was easier to just take winCE and skin it since they didn’t really want the WinMo UI (this phone has an iPhone copycat UX).

Here is another one with WinCE listed as the OS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meizu_M8

I hardly think my short and to the point replies to your rambling nonsensical musings are gish galloping, however appreciate your attempts at characterise my replies as such to cover your own use of this same technique, ad hominem though it was.

Your points themselves are opinion too, but since your opinion seems to be predicated on wanting a useless policing structure I doubt we'll agree on much. You could have just said something to the effect of: defund the police.

Needless to say people like you are all for the police having no power, or not existing, until you're the victim of a crime.
When there was possibility, I just bought a copy of lightroom to develop photos from raw files. I did it because I'm developing them once a year or so, and I don't want to pay for constantly changing and upgrading cloud version. My camera does not change either, it's old but reliable (almost, recently it stopped on shutter and I will need to spend some amount of money I spared from subscription fee, to get it repaired)
You can do everything you mentioned irrespective of whether you are allowed to keep the device or not (before it's physically collected by you former employer, which can take a few days).
Can it be remedied at inference time by decaying the collapsed tokens' probability or is the world model itself defective?

There is a lot of research over decades into that very question, and it overwhelmingly points to humans as the main cause.

Well, for me this is less way readable than python. And I know JS for a long time, yet IMHO its syntax and structure seems clunky.
I find parallel to have the best UI (beside the citation thing).

Whenever I use xargs (which is available more often on remote servers) I struggle to find the right invocation. And I learned about parallel way after using xargs, so I don't think it's just my habbit.

Similarly to you my use cases are relatively few (hundreds?) long-running commands, so the performance of the implementation is less important.
Also I consider it that software requires an old laptop to be preserved, so I don't require Adobe to send me free upgrades to make it work on windows 11,12,13,14 - this is on me.

and they needed to be full seasons and not the shorter and shorter seasons they were running towards the end. 8 episodes was too short (and the production schedule far too long) let alone 6 episodes.

top comment: > You wanna know how bad season 8 was? We are in The middle of a long quarantine, and not a single person I know is rewatching this show.

Hard to overstate how bad hbo fucked up there, I wish they’d have thrown it away and just reshot it with a team who wanted to be there.

(the directors needed it to be over so they could go do Star Wars… and Disney was so dismayed with how unprofessionally they’d handled it that they took Star Wars away from them lol.)
In my books Top Boy ending was quite well done. Gritty and tragic.
I dearly miss checked exceptions in C#, it is like tracking land mines, when fixing code from others that happily decided to ignore exceptions that then blow up in production.

Also moving fast and breaking things newly adopted .NET culture is the reason I am mostly stuck on .NET Framework for corporate production apps, unless we're doing newly written microservices, and some big names like Sitecore decided it was easier to buy products written in other languages than rewrite their stuff into .NET Core.
Didn't know that about famotidine, that's very interesting. My wife has HaT (she was in the NIH study) and MCAS, and got absolutely wiped out by her reaction to the first vaccine. One of her specialists told her she's seen that happen with a few other HaT patients.

In addition to the "every publisher" claim, he also states, "And don't get the idea that it's just Hindawi - how could it be? MDPI journals are mixed up in this, De Gruyter, IMR, AIMS Press and many others as well." However, he only provides evidence that something is seriously amiss at Hindawi.

The author links to two articles that detail some really shady behavior, but after reading them it doesn't look like he is adding anything new to the discussion beyond speculation and outrage. Well, that, and using his name and platform to amplify the message that it is time to get serious about fraud in scientific publications (which is laudable).

This is a serious problem, with the linked articles detailing brazen advertisement of payment for publication by people and organizations who appear to be associated with paper mills. I don't think the takeaway is that we should immediately throw the baby out with the bathwater, but this definitely needs a lot of urgent and sustained attention.
If the debt has already gone to collections, isn’t the person already screwed though? It’s documented in their credit reports whether or not it’s paid off. Damage has already been done.

Bye bye any chances of buying a home. Increased rates for various insurance products. Most apartments tend to demand high security deposits from ppl with bad credit. financing a car will likely result in subprime auto loan products.

> Even if Ukraine prevails (far from certain), the country may never be the same.

You can also say: Yes it has never before been as pro-West as it is today.

I agree completely with you that China has enough weight to do plenty of damage in the short term. In the long term, I paraphrase something Stephen Kotkin said: The West has gained more and more friends over time. After the second world war, Japan, Germany, South Korea and Taiwan have become friends.

Maybe the relationships are not perfect, but they are pretty good if you ask me. Some healthy back and forth and discussing without major drama. Finland has joined NATO and Sweden will soon also. Maybe one day even Ukraine. And maybe India one day?

Nintendo is the Apple of games world. They have their own expensive toys in their own garden and don't play with others. If they wanted to engage and make something bigger they'd engage with modders or community years ago.

The distinction I'm looking to make is the subtlety. Palworld is objectively, dramatically more in-your-face about it. The first ad on Steam is one "Pal" eating another.

Nintendo will accept they need to have an answer to "So are all Pokemon vegan?", but will neither advertise it, nor push people to question what all the people and pokemon eat.

They have very different markets, and strive to project different images.
It’s interesting, it does very well in multicore and with complex numbers. The issue is that there’s no way we’ll rewrite all our code littered with calls to BLAS and LAPACK to use a different API. It looks like they have a BLAS compatibility layer though; I hope it’s good.

It even has a nice, friendly licence.
