I see no __technical__ reason why you couldn't do CEC over the AUX channel... all that's required is for the software on either end to be updated to squirt and interpret the bits, and it's a low-speed protocol, so it'll fit just fine in the AUX channel.

"ARC" seems to be "Audio over HDMI using CEC for discovery and control", which (if you've bothered to run CEC over the DisplayPort AUX channel) you get the rest automatically with DisplayPort.

However, because both CEC and ARC are HDMI standards, you bet your biscuits that the HDMI Consortium will bar anyone who wants to use HDMI ports on their devices from shipping official firm/software that does the braindead-simple thing of running CEC over DP AUX, and having ARC-compatible firm/software.

As is nearly always the case (and when it's not, it's not for long) DisplayPort is totally capable of everything HDMI is, but the HDMI Consortium stands in the way of having commercially-distributed DisplayPort "home theater" products that are compatible with the nice-to-have HDMI features.

Lookup tables are the only reason I was able to get this effect working at all:

The clever bit is that it's two lookup tables here: the big one stores the lighting details for a circle with a configurable radius around the player (that's one full lookup table per radius), but the second one is a pseudo-random ordering for the background rows. I only have time to actually update 1/20th of the screen each time the torchlight routine is called, but by randomizing the order a little bit, I can give it a sortof "soft edge" and hide the raster scan that you'd otherwise see. I use a table because the random order is a grab bag (to ensure rows aren't starved of updates) and that bit is too slow to calculate in realtime.

Absurdity of complaining about discounts aside (wish I had enough money to complain about discounts!), geographically keyed discounts make sense because each Starlink satellite serves a relatively small patch of Earth at any instance. This means Starlink can simultaneously be oversubscribed in one country and under-subscribed in another. Discounts are a common sense tool to address regional under-subscription.
These are good questions. Would also be great to rank the data as a list, as to what's the most in demand.

It says here ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370980395_A_NEURAL_... ) that each layer can be represented as a matrix multiplication (equation 3): Ax = s

The Brain Adapts to Dishonesty
I think that you misunderstand me, and I suspect that you have not read my other comments in this thread. E.g.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39539010

What I am saying is that choosing this flat directory store, one that is very hard for humans to read, parse and navigate, is on its own a major disincentive for many people.

The traditional and lavishly-documented Unix filesystem layout is comforting and familiar to hundreds of thousands of people (at a very conservative estimate!) and throwing it away was a poorly-considered move that on its own will make many people refuse to even consider Nix and its kin.

If a project decides to replace it then it needs multiple compelling reasons, and just "search paths will sort it" and "this keeps pathnames short" is not good enough.

What I am suggesting is that if automatic directory name management (via hashes or whatever) were combined with a more human-readable tree, this type of tool would have a much better chance of success.

Even if it were less efficient.

Even if it were more work for the developers.

The benefits of the Nix approach are only compelling to a relatively small number of people and the price is too high for many. That's why after over 20 years, adoption is minimal. That's why work continues on Debian and all the other traditional distros. That's why since Nix was invented in 2003 (AFAIK) we have had AppImage and Snap and Flatpak.

Because this stuff is too hard for ordinary folks.

This is why functional languages as a whole have made so little impact on mainstream computing. They bring great benefits for those smart enough to understand them, but for the rest of us, for ordinary dumb jocks like me, it's too hard.

http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2010/12/haskell-researchers-...

The same goes for Lisp's prefix notation, and for Forth's and Postscript's postfix notation and Reverse Polish Notation in general.

After coming up on 40 years in the industry, I am convinced that some of this stuff really does have compelling advantages, but it's not compelling enough which is why tens of $millions are being spent on inferior tools such as Flatpak.

And under the hood, Flatpak uses Ostree, and Ostree uses Git, and TBH I reckon about 1% of 1% of the thousands of people using Git and anything related to it actually understand how it works.

This kind of thing is just too complicated for ordinary minds.

Some of those will be public companies or otherwise be investments that are open to all people.

You and GP can both be correct.

Even if your smaller family and others like it had a more relaxed approach to parenting, no doubt that was in part due to the culture of the time where people generally had larger families.

The collective media fearmongering that is persistent nowadays is only popular because most people accept the narrative. This could easily be because today they generally have one or two children whereas when you grew up that was not the norm and such ideas would not have been popular.
I really wish the rate limit was relaxed when favoriting posts specifically. Favoriting a post counts as two requests since it redirects you to another page, so you'll often hit the rate limit page while favoriting, but the favorite still goes through because only the redirected request gets rate limited.
Maybe something to do with the cut cable and traffic routing?

I am very sympathetic to this (to the extent that my wife thinks I am borderline irresponsible).

That said, I think the argument about how fears are misplaced since now is the most safe time to be a kid is bad.

> And it is widely believed that the world is no longer a safe place for children to play in. Yet statistics show that it has never been a safer time to be a child. Injury-related deaths are at an all-time low in most Western nations. In the US, deaths from unintentional injuries fell by 73% for boys and 85% for girls between 1973 and 2010. This misperception of risk creates the parental paradox.

This doesn't make much sense. Parents have mass migrated to a different style of parenting. In the same period life has gotten much safer for children. Therefore we should revert to the older style of parenting and not be afraid that the risks will return?

I think this cause is really hurting itself with this kind of weak argument.

You would want to pick a winner because the winner in some sectors will be in a position to extract economic rent, and by having it in public hands, we can ensure it either chooses not to do that, or it extracts economic rent and uses the resources to further the public interest.

And by picking the winner via subsidies, you can achieve this publicly aligned winner without regulatory restrictions on competition. Any regulatory restriction on private parties violates basic liberties and thus is not justifiable IMHO. It also is a slippery slope to very destructive regulatory barriers to entry instated at the behest of incumbents.

An attempt to pick the winner via subsidies also might not succeed, because even with subsidies, the public option may fail to gain significant market share. And in that case, it's fortunate that the winner wasn't subject to regulatory restrictions regimenting its behavior, as a government that is too incompetent to create a market winner via subsidies is also likely to be too incompetent to do an effective job at designing the regulatory restrictions imposed on the market leader.

In short, with subsidies, all that you are risking is the subsidies themselves, in the event that they're allocated to an incompetent organization. You're not risking undermining the entire industry with dysfunctional regulatory regimentation.

> Even if your smaller family and others like it had a more relaxed approach to parenting, no doubt that was in part due to the culture of the time where people generally had larger families.

Nope. If you think about it, GenX was the smallest of the recent generations, despite Boomers being a large generation (hence their name), so family sizes had already shrunk dramatically before the more recent phenomenon of helicopter parenting. "Gen Xers were sometimes called the "latchkey generation", which stems from their returning as children from school to an empty home and needing to use a key to let themselves in. This was a result of what is now called free-range parenting, plus increasing divorce rates, and increased maternal participation in the workforce prior to widespread availability of childcare options outside the home." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X

As far as I remember, almost all of my peers had only one sibling at most. Families of two children or even one child were extremely common at the time.

By the way, the reason that people had larger families in the past wasn't because kids died and needed to be replaced. It was because they didn't have birth control.

Why is Git in Xcode on macOS?
On a new macOS machine, you are basically tricked into installing git along with Xcode [1]. If you do so, you have to download an 8GB package, even if you only want git (which is my case and I can’t be the only one).

To make it even worse: on every system update git becomes unavailable, You have to accept your Xcode license to start using it again.

Is it me or it’s a terrible design? That’s super inconvenient, takes so much extra resource, and it's not even a one-time operation. And again, I couldn’t care less about Xcode, I just want my git.

What are the benefits of having within Xcode? I feel that if there are benefits, end-users aren’t the beneficiaries but Apple devs, which would be sad.

I appreciate your perspective, caution is never bad, but as the guy said, everything in moderation, including moderation.

I was thinking about it more and I think one aspect that is important is what you mention about "which beach". I agree with you completely, there's beaches in our coast we'd never swim in, not even in a group, even as adults. And in some areas of the country almost all the beaches are in that category. So I think you're quite right, your position was more general and I was thinking too much about the beaches I had nearby while growing up. Particularly how many meters of "foot" (not sure what the word is in english) you have - ie can you just stand up and not have to stay afloat.

That was always the understood rule as kids, we can go alone to the sea but we need to stay "with foot".
