This reminds me of a recent talk by Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang. He discusses video compression history a bit. He proposes in the future one would just send a very small amount of data & then the computer displaying the video would recreate everything based on prior knowledge of the person talking.

Aside from personal use, it's well known that the amount of data being created every day is growing exponentially. Based on the article these discs are not meant for personal use but for data centers.
I think this is a good change. Even repeating some elements is an example of looping, a Turing behavior that should be left to JS. We're way past the point where some predefined markup can accommodate most sites. Even "brochureware" sites can be built and maintained easier with programmatic code rather than static definitions of page layouts and content.

I think the "purity" of HTML as a web language is a myth. HTML is an application of SGML, just like XML. It was designed to describe documents, not programs. Most people today would benefit from building a web application rather than a document.
WOW. What a blast from the past
Just do all your disc writes in winter, problem solved.
An LTO-9 tape cartridge can store 18 terabytes (they advertise 45 TB but that's with the built-in compression scheme and we want to compare raw bits to raw bits). One of these new 1.6 petabit discs would be just over 11 tapes, well under a station wagon.

> Qt being restricted to just C++ and/or JS dampens its appeal.

Have you searched "Qt bindings" before posting this comment? Qt is in no way restricted to C++ and/or JS.

Python bindings for Qt are very popular and work well. Even with C++, JS and Python you end up covering most developers. But those 3 are far from the only languages you can use with Qt.

A quick look at the Qt bindings page shows bindings for other languages like Rust, Java, C#, Go and many more.

Yes, I meant it more generally. In the beginning of Google it was possible to exactly define what you want returned as results with +/- operators, with "" and all the other things that are still possible, but is very hidden in the advanced search. I struggle each time to remember how to activate that advanced search :)

At that time, it was possible to define it with image search too. May be there are some guys in here who remember that. I'm using Google from the first start. They've been better than altavista, which actually was the best web crawler then. Yahoo was just a catalog at that time. You got all kinds of images. Including that white with white ... Because it's a common description for porn too :)

Over the time, there've been algos introduced, which also consider what your "neighbors" searches for and present it to you as 'the more search for it, the more important it is, the higher the possibility tht you search for it too'. The SEO made everything worse. The problem actually: Google want the general DU to be able to use their services.

So it's not only and not everything about that image captions given. It got worse since Google decides what to give you and what relevance it might be for you, instead you tell it what you want.

I tried it with advanced Google image search. It showed me the search term "White woman man Man, OR woman ""White woman", "white man"" -Black, -asian, -interracial"

If you use this for that exactly search, you'll have more matches.

The next thing, it's not about labeling or things like that. It's about indexing and going through index by constraints. The most Images presented are stock images. Stock images have explicit labeling. So it's about the algorithm of Google, that thinks you want to see happy couples together and then it gives you what the most users have accepted for similar searches.

> Whatever your own opinion, Google did it out of what they perceived to be good intentions (and very likely business sense given a global audience for their products)

That makes even less sense, because most countries “globally” are internally quite homogenous. If someone in Bangladesh or China writes “show me pictures of people walking outside,” it’s even more jarring to deliberately insert random Latinos, East Asians, and Africans.

Given Google’s global audience, it might want to detect the customer’s location and show Chinese people pictures of Chinese people, and Japanese people pictures of Japanese people. That actually makes a lot of sense. But that’s not what they did.

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to read a reasonable voice for a while, and I couldn't find anything. Search engines, traditional and LLM-based (ie ChatGPT) will actively censor all dissident voices, and it's just so tiring being unable to have a conversation with someone or read an article that's based on some common ground, some common assumptions between you and the writer.

We design said they wanted row expansion. Then buttons in some cells based on rules open modals.

Other cells have hover tooltips. And we need sort. Must have sort. And one of the table columns has editable values. But the edited value doesn’t affect the sort. It should affect the filter though. Did I mention we need filters? Also I need two sticky columns unless the user is a BobRole, then they should have 3 sticky columns and shouldn’t see column 9.

The table will have 50,000 rows with pagination. Pagination must respect the sort and filter obviously.
That would be nice, sure, but it still doesn't fix the problem for mutable slices. Immutable slices are a distraction - this discussion is explicitly about how the mutable version is supposed to work. Unless you want to argue that mutable arrays/slices shouldn't exist at all, of course.

> While we can put `#[must_use]` to any type now, the set of types that absolutely have to be `#[must_use]` remains relatively small

Agreed, although conversely if we could start Rust development all over again I'd probably argue that must_use on functions (as opposed to on types) should probably be the default behavior. (These days it basically is the default behavior for functions in the standard library.) Though Rust didn't gain the ability to annotate functions with must_use until 1.27. Switching the default could perhaps be a good candidate for an Edition.

You made that claim, it's on you to prove your claim. Instead, you claim something and pretend it is true unless someone provides proof about a claim that just isn't true.

A release team member mentions that this is true. What more do you need? I was also a release team member for 10+ years. I've never heard of anything like what you claimed. I spoke to loads of people. Further, you're confusing GNOME 3 with gnome-shell. Also, GNOME 3 took ages to come out while you're pretending it was something quickly developed.

Lastly, GNOME classic. As shipped with RHEL 7. GNOME 3 with a more classical interface. Meaning, pretty close to GNOME 3.
Which of these languages really mattered though? C? (which I'm inclined to believe)

This is awesome. Such a great use case for nix.

I do a lot of geospatial processing in the cloud and I've been using Tippecanoe a lot to create vector tiles. It pairs well with PM Tiles for storing on the cloud. It seriously increases the web app performance for massive data sets. I queue these up with ECS tasks to process our json/csv/parquet input and create optimize vector tile outputs.

https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe

https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles

Tippecanoe would be a great addition to your nix packages. I've been thinking more and more about how Nix could fit into this pipeline.

Great work!
> Wait, why are people not allowed to change their mind on something?

In theory, changing your mind should signal that you are capable of thinking about things, and changing your mind based on what you learn.

In practice, most people's opinions are determined by peer pressure. You believe X because the important people around you believe X.

From that perspective, changing your mind means that your loyalty has changed. Previously you tried to be friends with people who believed X, now you are trying to be friends with people who believe Y. No one likes a traitor.
I suspect the reason that posting on Discourse works is because this advice is not universally followed, so the workload is reduced relative to reviewing all open PRs. In other words, it's a way to distribute limited grease to only the squeakiest wheels, not to grease everything better.

But maybe I'm wrong and simply posting one of the 165 PRs per day to Discourse would be enough to clear that particular backlog in less than a year.
> So prove me wrong, and when you do it, stop calling my work insulting names and accusing me of things I do not have or do, such as calling me bad-intentioned.

You keep repeating this, but it's not up to others to prove what you claim is wrong. It's up to you to prove it is correct.

I guess that sort of response begs the question of if there is even anything greater to which humans owe some moral obligation; it sounds like you don't thing there is (though I apologize if this is reading more into your response than is actually there).

But I suppose it really depends on what you mean by the Earth being "fine" in the end. Obviously, as a large chunk of iron, silicates, oxygen, carbon, et al, the Earth will continue its journey through space for a long time to come. Some forms of life will certainly persist for a few hundred million years until such time as it becomes uninhabitable due to stellar evolution. But if we humans are to wreak our own destruction, we will be far from the first species we remove from this Earth; we've already set about a mass extinction that will register in the geographic record.

You are making connections that are not there. For example, Novell, which owned SUSE, made that deal with Microsoft. But SUSE, the corporate distro, at that point was not using KDE as a default desktop, but GNOME. This stemmed from the fact that Novell had also incorporated Ximian previously and was deeply involved with GNOME (and Mono and .NET). Corporate SUSE used GNOME, and they still do. KDE and SUSE have no relationship of that type, not even today. How could KDE be protected by a deal that did not involve them at all?

Many of the listed bindings are in varying states of repair and likely not used much if at all. The listed Go bindings for Qt for example saw their last commit 4 years ago.

By contrast GTK bindings tend to get maintained and used by devs more frequently because they’re easier to generate and make idiomatic. I see GTK projects written in all sorts of languages but rarely see Qt ones that aren’t C++, JS, or Python.

Really, that is the worry, that "We are destroying the earth" as a metaphor? People are confused by this? If I said, "Be careful how you lift that heavy sack or you will destroy your back" would you complain that while you might suffer a debilitating injury, your back will not literally be destroyed?

Of course what people mean when they warn about the destruction of the earth is that it is going to have profound and unpleasant effects on the climate system, which in turn affects which parts of the world are favorable to human and animal life. Those changes will cause large scale economic changes, population dislocations, and thus political stability.
Satoshi Nakamoto and the Origins of Bitcoin
In case you didn’t notice, this isn’t an actual, usable product. Scientists in a lab created a technique to encode bits into very tiny spaces across 100 layers.

The proof of concept technique they created in a lab is so slow that it would take a full second for 10 pixels on the disc.

The headline claiming that this is a new cousin of DVDs is clickbait. It’s a lab technique, but someone extrapolated it into the same area of a DVD and imagined how many bits it could theoretically hold.

> As an aside the immune system also produces another neurotransmitter responsible for both immune system excitement that plays an unrelated role of emotional motivation in the brain. That is why antihistamines medications make people drowsy

You mean histamine? I think antihistamines make people drowsy, because histamine signaling at the H1-Receptor is involved with regulation of the circadian rhythm [1][2]. As far as I know, histamine is released, as part of the immune system, by mast cells, which have to be triggered by IgE (parasite / "macro stuff" / "allergy") antibodies.

Neither the "H1 receptor", "H1 antagonist", "Histamine", "Tuberomammillary nucleus" nor "Mast cell" Wikipedia article match "GABA".
