What happens to me, living in a walkable city without a car (something I'm proud of for environmental reasons):

• I'm walking to work / home / a social outing / etc, with no intention of going shopping.

• I pass by a store on the way.

• I now need a bag.

Could I always bring a bag with me when I go out? Yes, but I try to travel as light as possible because I'm walking.
there's another reason for some optimism about a voting-truth connection: wisdom of the crowds. As long as there isn't a strong bias to people's estimate, the average will converge on the truth.

Japanese customs is a special thing. I had a plastic Christmas tree held in quarantine for 9 months because the box said "tree", and all attempts to point out that the tree was in fact fake, and probably not of serious biological concern feel on deaf ears.

> What would be a fix for capitalism that cripples our attitude to work?

Us. Our culture.

FWIW I'll try to explain a little more. I mean, that's a great
question but I think it's the wrong question, if you don't mind me
saying that.

Nobody can see outside the logic of their own epoch.

Capitalism can't be "fixed", because it's just what it is. If we
"fixed" it, it wouldn't be capitalism any more, it would be something
else. In fact it's been many different things over the past centuries
as it transforms, much as people like Smith and Marx predicted.

Most people at this point say "Okay, smarty.. so what will you replace
it with?". And again, wrong question. There is no list of "systems"
that could simply be plugged in as replacements. That kind of nonsense
leads to great leaps into famine and 20 million starving. Politics is
not software like that. At best it's a set of potential slow paths
that all start at where we are now. It is not even a set of
destinations, because every end point we pursue changes with the
dynamics of time and change itself.

The question, as I see it, is what do we change in ourselves to make
capitalism work. What makes capitalism into a non-toxic system that
does not destroy our planet and lead us to perpetual cycles of war,
and misery and self-hatred?

Now if you want to talk about that list... that's another
conversation.
Agreed, but it's because Apple has deliberately and relentlessly sabotaged PWAs as a competitive option.

If it were in their financial/competitive interest for PWAs to be amazing on iOS, they would be.

Unfortunately for us this would circumvent their 30% app tax, so they'll be dying on this hill.
I side with this school of thought.

Just call the emotions what they are, accept them in the form of not dressing them up and putting some spin on them to make people feel better about themselves (and ultimately dance around the actual emotion, via forms of denial, bypassing, etc.). And once you accept them for the simple, unadorned, and sometimes unflattering things that they are, you can then process them, and decide via understanding the root causes, contexts, and triggers, to then map out decision trees for how to respond to those feelings and emotions as the best course of action.

And like you mentioned, if you don't address the actual emotions and try to pretty them up, you're gonna leak out the actual emotions sideways, and cause unnecessary strain to those around you, and ultimately place your burden of being responsible for your emotions on others, and most likely throw up a big stink (in the form of projection, more denial, more bypassing, etc.).

Emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and responsibility are very difficult but necessary things, and they often times are unflattering. But like also many other things, there's no shortcuts to learning how to manage and deal with them in real situations with real stakes.

"the report says 90% of the new reusable bags are used a mere two or three times."

I'm deeply skeptical of this. Who buys a reusable bag then tosses it? I've only ever thrown away one or two that got rips.
Yes, when they take up too much space, people will throw them on the trash.

Or are you expecting a different result?
Yes, this. Price/GB is probably the most important metric to consider, since the other metrics are either impossible to know (e.g. new drive reliability), hardly differ between products (e.g. power usage), or aren't particularly relevant for long-term archiving (e.g. read/write throughput, random seek latency).

Though for archiving purposes, I would steer clear of SSD's. While the overall (claimed) reliability of SSD's is similar or better than HDD's, the failure mode is completely different: where HDD's tend to develop read errors over time which gives you enough warning to plan a replacement of the disk, the SSD's I've had just brick themselves after X time, which means the data loss is sudden and total, rather than gradual.
Although the linked page was highly entertaining, I suspect (and this is pure speculation) that the real answer is that, to the people who had to make the original decisions back in the 70s and early 80s, the current design “looked better”.

For subsequent implementations it is likely mostly inertia.

Again this is all speculation but it doesn’t really have to be any more complex than that.

As a side note in the early 80s as a teenager I wanted to write a space game on my Apple //e computer that had a wedge shaped spacecraft like a star destroyer or the spacecraft from Asteroids. I spent many many hours hand drawing the bitmaps for each size and rotation. The shapes always looked a little jagged, except in the +/- 45 degree orientations.

"At times it is only the angry who are in a position to apprehend the magnitude of some injustice. For they are the ones willing to sacrifice all their other concerns and interests so as to attend, with an almost divine focus, to some tear in the moral fabric. When I am really angry, it is not even clear to me that I can calm down—the eyes of the heart do not have eyelids—and the person making that request strikes me, to adapt a locution of Socrates’, as trying to banish me from my property, the truth. They are calling me “irrational,” but they seem not to see that there are reasons to be angry."

> Is it memory safe enough

I'd say for the vast majority of use cases, it is.

Pluggable allocators + good test coverage make it trivial to catch a lot of the more common memory issues and exhaustive switches are quite robust (though it can be tricky when the branches vary according to the target platform).

Also, it is far easier to code in an exploratory, iterative fashion in Zig than it is in Rust.

Overall, I think with Zig and Go you can cover a lot of programming use cases. In fact, I find Go to be pretty damn fast out-of-the-box and in a lot of real world scenarios can match Zig/Rust (production builds). All three have room for fine tuning (at the expense of readability), though of course the ceiling is much higher in Zig and Rust.

Not to mention, Rust won't protect you from logic issues, you can definitely do the wrong thing correctly.
The FDA knows better than I do, and I'm glad they issued recalls. There's no reason for any lead chromate to be in anything you consume.

That said I read several of the recall notices and the recalls were for products containing like 50-100ppm of lead chromate, not lead, in something people typically consume less than a gram per day of in supplemnt form. Even for a child it would take regular use of large amounts to add up to any real impact.

This was the FDA showing zero tolerance, as they should, but I don't think anyone was actually harmed, and it's not a reason to panic.
Who would you list?
Yeah, It was so fast I gave up before even really understanding the controls. Never made it beyond the second obstacle.
Safari was an early adopter of JPEG XL. In the past couple years, actually, the team at Apple responsible for Safari has been making inroads on features and spec work. Jen Simmons especially has been astounding, particularly with her engagement with the community.

She was recently on the Syntax Podcast, and I thoroughly enjoyed the talk. Can catch a bit here: https://www.threads.net/@syntax_fm/post/C22hyslOABy/

I think the discussions around this issue (in this thread and elsewhere) are missing a key point: The vast majority of academic research is conducted by graduate students working toward their PhD. For instance, the word "student" does appear in this page even once. I am not condoning fraud, but put yourself in the students' shoes, and ask which is more likely:

"Hmmm, these experiments that I have spent several years working on, and are the basis of my entire thesis, didn't work out. If I report the correct results, my entire project will be worthless and I will not earn my PhD. Too bad I wasted 5 years of the prime of my life pursuing this hypothesis which my supervisor insisted I investigate. I hear Costco has good benefits, I wonder if they're hiring?"

or

"Hmmm, if I just delete some outliers, cherry pick some experiments, ignore others, nudge a few of these data point in the right direction, and choose this specific statistical analysis, I can show a positive result, which means I can graduate, start my life and family (finally), get a job (maybe in academia, maybe not), and fulfill my dreams."

As I said, I am not condoning fraud, but the discussion of solutions need to focus on the right problem. Most discussions seem to imagine a professionally established scientist whose prestige and job promotion depend on good results. In reality the stakes are a lot higher if you realize that these results of literally life-changing for the graduate students doing the work. I guess I'm saying there is a human side to this issue beyond greed and prestige seeking (although there is plenty of that too).
Myself I found drinking caffeine after 12 noon kept me up. If you drink caffeine experiment with cutting it off earlier.

Also, when it is late, and you feel hungry, it is often your brain trying to stay awake and desiring calories to continue.

My sleep is much better when I can stop caffeine by noon and finish eating by 6 PM.
This source code:

https://github.com/servo/webrender/blob/master/wr_glyph_rast...

suggests to me that the glyph rasterization (which is the CPU-limiting factor for text rendering) in WebRender (which is the new FF 93+ GPU-accelerated rendering engine) is implemented in Rust and to be run on CPU. On Linux it appears to use FreeType (which is CPU-only):

https://github.com/servo/webrender/blob/master/wr_glyph_rast...

Also, that approach of pre-rendering text into textures is, sadly, very common. For example, see:

I am in the process of writing an Avalonia app now and one thing to consider is the controls that you will need. WinForms has a lot available and Avalonia’s coverage isn’t as broad. Hoping it improves over time. Other than that, if you know WPF I think you will enjoy the experience. It has been fun for me so far and I would encourage others to try it out.
Dear OS makers: Please make it easier to swap the mouse buttons and also flip the cursor at the same time.

I say this because I use multiple computers and depending on when and where I am using them, sometimes want the mouse on the left. In addition to it "feeling wrong" to use a right handed cursor with my left hand (I swear it physically gives me cramps), having the cursor not match the buttons is super frustrating.

Once I got used to the direction of the cursor indicating the button configuration, it comes pretty naturally to click appropriately, even on occasions where I am using the mouse with the 'wrong' hand (because I'm using the other hand to pet a cat or drink my coffee or something).

On Windows 10/11, it's relatively easy to swap the buttons, but then I have to go into another, much more deeply buried menu (the old control panel that they seem to want to bury but can't get rid of because the Windows settings team is apparently too incompetent to put all the stuff you really need in the new configuration screens) to change the cursor to match. So then there's 5 seconds or so where the cursor doesn't match the button configuration during which my bones want to jump out of my wrist and then I need to go take a break. And for some reason, Windows 10 on my work computer seems to remember the button configuration but forget the cursor setting between reboots, so there's always a minute of confustion, there.

Also, if you're going to write some program with a cursor, DON'T OVERRIDE THE OS CURSOR WITH SOME {RIGHT|LEFT}-HANDED THING! I'm looking at dumb Acrobat Reader. The arrow in that program always points to the left even if I've flipped things in Windows, and then I get all confused when I try to click on the menus as if the mouse is in its right-handed configuration when it actually isn't.

I seem to recall some Linux distro that I used once upon a time getting this right, where there was an option to flip the cursor and the buttons at the same time. But I haven't seen that for a while.

Relatedly, why can't I have multiple cursors? There have been times when it would have been convenient to have a mouse plugged in on the left and the right and just have them both show up on the screen (pointing to the right and left, respectively, of course, with button configuration to match) so I could easily switch to whichever was more convenient at the time. Or for when $handedness-handed coworker wants to drive (just use the cursor that you normally would!). Best I found was some AutoHotKey script that didn't do quite what I wanted. Why does the OS layer need to assume exactly one cursor? Dumb if you ask me.

> except for maybe Uber, Google Drive, and games

I understand Drive working better as a native app; it needs to be able to provide a virtual filesystem to the OS and do background syncing and such. But why Uber? Uber has (or maybe had) a mobile site that works fine for requesting rides and basically everything the app can do. I don't see what value Uber being a native app adds for the user. The same goes for most mobile games; they tend to have simple graphics that the browser is perfectly capable of rendering with great performance, and they tend to reinvent all common UI components so losing access to native system buttons and such wouldn't make a difference. PWAs should also provide plenty of storage for local save files and other game data. The exception of course being games that really push the system to its limits. I don't expect, say, Death Stranding or the RE4 remake to work well without direct access to native graphics acceleration, and they're too large to load as a single webpage. I will reiterate though that this is not the case for most mobile apps, even extremely profitable F2P ones that would benefit greatly from an extra 30% revenue. Why then do they not target the web? My gut feel is that it's because mobile users are trained to look in the app store for apps and games, not the web, while desktop users expect apps to be available in the browser with the exception of some professional tools and high-end games. That is to say, it's largely a cultural problem. Of course, Apple's lackluster support or PWAs doesn't help.
There are studies that show piracy can only increase sales. Piracy is never a lost sale, because if someone were to pirate something, they were never a potential customer in the first place, so at worst, piracy is free marketing.
That's why the knowing caveat. E.g. either you HAVE to advertise to your own users (so if your browser is already the default, you still have to show the notification to suggest to change), or you are treated as if you know, and then you can't advertise based on the 10x rule.

To put it differently you can't hide ad for Chrome users and then pretend you did not know others used FF.

Lighten up Francis. It will be seen as no more dystopian than filming from behind a camcorder or a camera pressed up to their face blocking the face completely. This Gen Xer thinks that people making videos or pictures with the Vision Pro will be no more annoying or off putting than any home movie shooting dad was in the past. There have been geeks with obtrusive cameras gear as long as there have been cameras. The Vision Pro will allow people to be involved in what they are filming much more than holding a camera in front of them. You can still drink, talk, hold hands, etc. At least he can still play with them while filming.

that's odd, because if guardrails can't handle a rivian or even a hummer ev, then they can't handle school buses, u-hauls, tire service and welding trucks, amazon delivery trucks, etc.

there's plenty of vehicles of that bulk that have been plying the roads for ages without a bunch of breathless articles to save them or their passengers.

This seems like a setup to counter the bag bans by the plastic industry.

It’s not like paper bags, which are incredibly compostable and recyclable, didn’t exist before this entire plastic nonsense came to fruition. And they are readily available, domestically produced and work great.

All we need are better handles because they aren’t great for carrying long distances and break catastrophically instead of stretching like plastic. Not great.
