they didn’t argue that, they argued that if you’re not able to even talk about a problem you tend to smother it or not give it nuance which can lead to folks trying to kill any consensual sexual stuff, which not only consumes huge resources, but also leads to the situation where everyone is aware of how to skirt the rules meaning it is no longer esoteric knowledge.

Same reasoning is often applied to weed… it’s not a gateway drug, it’s not not that bad of a drug, but the way it’s treated leads you to being criminalized for trying it so you don’t seek support, and you suddenly have contact with a dealer that can get more things and will push you to try it all.
It's such a "first world question" haha. Sorry, not trying to insult or criticize you, but this is genuinely a question only people in developed countries would ask.

People in poorer countries use pirated software. No, the don't need to be tech-savvy enough to know torrents to use pirated Windows. They don't need to know how to install an OS themselves.

20 years ago when I got my first PC, pirated windows was the norm here. You needed to be tech-savvy to know how to get a legal version. That is how developing countries work.

The earth is getting greener and you think we won't have agriculture anymore.
In the last 10000 years climate varied a lot, from little ice ages to warm periods. Can you be more specific about the time and also how are you going to hold climate steady, since obvious it varies a lot naturally?
Case in point, if I was running Apple hardware from 2011~2014 I would be out of support for quite a few years already with massively outdated hardware, Apple puts their customers on a MUCH faster treadmill to keep upgrading often. But instead my _daily drivers_ 13 year old Thinkpad X220 and both my 10 year old 4th gen haswell i7 PCs keep trucking along. It's easy enough to fix, upgrade and have access to ALL current software. Not only that but one of those machines perform just as good if not better than a PS5, so I can still play any game I want at a respectable fidelity and performance. Also, not running Windows helps keep the bloat overhead at bay.
Although the CIA and State Department have unquestionably done a lot of bad stuff, I can't help but feel this may be a good thing. Online discourse has gotten extremely toxic and divisive. Moreover, it's quite likely that much of what we're seeing is the work of foreign adversaries. Encouraging bridges between Google/Meta and the US Intelligence Community, if it indeed helps reduce the sort of online discourse that is tearing the US apart (which I suspect it will), is something that I would feel extremely relieved to see.
dude... is that satire?
My daft conspiracy theory I only slightly believe is that Microsoft is really fed up of maintaining Windows given the amount of technical debt it must have piled up and the limited revenue it produces given that paying for an OS isn't really a thing anyone wants to do anymore.

It sounds like a hell freezing over situation but maybe they'd even release their own Linux distro with compatibility tools only they'd ever be able to make with access to source code and engineer experience, and just push their web based versions of apps as much as possible.

Either way it seems like Linux will be profiting from the situation at the moment as a huge number of devices out there won't support Windows 11 but will perform perfectly fine with Linux. If Ubuntu / Redhat are smart they'll put the effort in to make transitioning as easy as possible and scoop up all the people who don't want to pay for a new device, and given the financial issues more and more people are having I don't think that's a small group.
I think it depends on which factions of the right and the left. As I understand it, left-wing radical feminists mostly already hold that view. And some on the socially conservative right may still object to Bob/Brenda teaching their children, for example.

However I do believe this position, or one very similar to it, could be enough of a middle-ground compromise to satisfy most people.
ok, maybe too abstract an example. If a bank makes a loan (creating new money) to loan to some rich guy, who decides to pay 1B to buy a bunch of Microsoft stock, that counts as growing the GDP, even if the majority of the money just stays in the financial sector and never drives up the price of anything measured by CPI.
I’m aware of that feature, but using proper option in settings will not retain off position after next OS update, which is what OP was discussing. This happens every update, so I’m quite sure it’s by design.

Hi, this is my article and your post came into my RSS feed. I'm surprised my website has visitors! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
Just sharing this as a different point of view that might help you get out of the rut, it's not meant to discourage you...

Hollywood, social media are all glorifying the hustle culture, keeping us all delusional that if you just keep working hard, in the end it will all be right. "Don't ever give up because you only lose if you give up".

That's all fine and dandy and makes for great movies, and YouTube videos, but in reality, some people should just give up, or at least instead of working longer and harder, they should really think about why they keep failing.

Maybe you need to touch some grass, find a hobby, be less obsessed with whatever it is you try building. Maybe you aren't listening to your customers, or you're terrible at sales, marketing, product, design, software development or all of the above.

Sometimes, the best decision is to give up and move on to new things in life, and do what you enjoy instead of hoping you'll be Mark Zuckerberg.

(based on personal experience: for so long I wanted to be a physicist because I didn't want to "give up", not realizing that I can just "write off" the university years in my mind, and move on with my life. The moment I did that, I felt free, doubled down on software development that I actually enjoy and I'm good at, giving up was the best decision in my life and I wish I did that sooner)
This is a natural conseqence of copyright law. It is hard for local talent to compete against unnatural monopolies. We subsidized mass produced media at the expense of decentralized talent.
Not the OP, but strongly identify with a lot of what they’ve said, so, my perspective:

> Why do you want so hard to start a business? Why not spend your precious time, money and effort on something else? If what motivates you is willingness to change the world - you can do so by working for a non-profit organization. If you want to earn money - you can be a regular employee.

For me it’s agency. I want the freedom to succeed and fail on my own. I’m sick of spending tons of effort on projects that are doomed from the start due to mismanagement. I’m tired of being micro-managed on every decision I make. It’s like some law of organizational structure: if you find the manager who won’t micro-manage you, the company will restructure until you get one who does. I don’t want to be the cog in the machine any more, but I don’t have the political skills to rise the corporate ladder into a position of actual decision-making.

Compared to all that, starting and maintaining a business completely from scratch seems like the easy option. :)
The title alone is problematic. Do not auto-makers enable kidnapping and robbery? Do not camera-makers enable child exploitation?

Tools don't have morality - people do. Consider that the same argument is routinely used to criticize, for example, secure chat services like Signal.

If you really want to protect children, just put a smart-collar on every child that records every interaction they have, and put it online for the public to review and flag things they find immoral. This will work flawlessly because everyone has the same moral judgement and interprets evidence the same way /s.

My tinfoil hat wonders if Meta itself is the source of this reporting. Weak attacks, like this one, help them with the strong attacks, like the fact that their product systematically harms the mental-health of young people especially. It's a bit like if RJ Reynolds funded a hit-piece on themselves that accused them of making cigarettes that can be used to burn others. Defending against that attack primes people to defend RJ Reynolds, which would help with the more serious, and justified, attack that they profit from addiction and lung cancer.
Why can't young people get opinions from their own thinking and their friends and the community directly w/o social media?

It's not like social media is some unique escape from the echo chamber.
> pretend that the borrow checker doesn't add a heavy cognitive load

The borrow checker actively reduces cognitive load once you learn to adopt program designs that mesh well with its requirements. And those happen to be really good program designs across a wide range of axes.
I'm currently working on my own project almost full-time, and what keeps me going is that I really want that product to exist and I see others might like it as well, even though it barely breaks even with ads/revenue ratio.
Work to live, don't live to work. Freely pursue, build and expand what _you_ value.
This will make you happy.
When you are happy, this will attract people who want what you have.
Invest in yourself, next sell this value you have to those people.
Everything you ever did was not in vain because it created who you are today.
Invest in yourself - not material wealth or value for others - above all else.
Don't undertake affairs that don't make you happy.
I don’t believe it. I don’t think a true sociopath has any motivation whatsoever to disclose the fact that they are a sociopath.

A sufficiently advanced user can still install something like LADB or shizuku or even a custom rom. This is extremely unnecessary to be a bundled OS permission.
That's also where the "substantial portion" requirement comes in, which is defined to be 33.3%. That won't affect most sites with user-generated content—even Tumblr wouldn't be required to verify ages to view.

>>I read that in France the number of vasectomies among 25-ish is exploding. This may not be a good indication, though, because vasectomy was not popular in France in the first place (and still requires z 4 month cool down time, by law)

What is the advantage of huggingface over Ollama?
I read somewhere about a polar bear at a zoo that compulsively paced back and forth. This is not a behavior observed in polar bears in the wild; it was likely was caused by the fact that bears are evolved to walk dozens of miles a day, but this bear lived in a small, enclosed environment.

So maybe ADHD is not adaptive, but is just a pathology caused by the mismatch between our evolved environment and our modern environment?
I've been coding in Java for a bit longer than that, and in my memory it's always been known that ReentrantLock is _faster_, but synchronized has better language level support (as in, the language won't let you forget to unlock, whereas with locks you need to remember your finally statement). And then, unlike ReentrantLock, synchronized uses no extra memory, which is good for things that end up being uncontended, and then in both cases, the performance doesn't matter if the lock is uncontended, which most of mine were.

There of course are things like ErrorProne that statically check that you unlocked your lock, but there's still bugs possible.
The modern way is to use @cache which is just lru_cache(maxsize=None).
You shouldn’t approach it from such a detached, cynical angle. The import is as if the OSI embedded senior agents in the postal system during the labor unrest in the US during the 1910s-20s, and the FBI in Ma Bell during the second red scare in the 40s-50s.

The possibility for gatekeeping primary modes of information exchange is quite real, and quite worrying.
office365 will die without windows, it’s genuinely terrible on every non-windows platform and onedrive is objectively worse than alternatives too.

Office365 subscriptions are propping up azure numbers, without them their cloud business looks shit, and azure itself is often only used because “we are a microsoft shop”, it’s all inertia.
That's not what I got from the parent. Besides, everyone is dressing up one way or another depending on the situation. The problem is putting all your identity into it. And conversely also imposing on others that some characteristics you find important in your own belief system should be part of their identity. Extreme left and extreme right both have issues with that.
> how does the open source community attract ideas from non-developers

They don’t. I don’t know a single dev that is sitting around just waiting for someone else to give them an idea that they can start working on for no payment whatsoever.

Open source is driven by developers, they have idea, they put in the work and they open the code.

Developers aren’t itching to start open source projects. Developers are skilled laborers, and generally don’t have much desire to work for free. If a dev is going to work for free it generally is going to be, again, a passion project and maybe they can convince a few close dev friends to join them.

If it isn’t a passion project, then it’s generally not unpaid. Large open source projects have foundations, or large corporations that have paid employees contribute. For example Google open sourced the Go programming language. The devs that started that collected a pay check from Google while they were working on it.

If you have an idea for something, you will have to learn to code and do it yourself, you can open it up and hope to get some interest from the open source community. Or you can pony up and pay someone to develop it.
> I've been noodling on a novel SQL JDBC wrapper thing. For ages now. Input stock SQL and output typesafe wrappers. I use it for all my own work. It's stupid simple and easy.

Just wanted to say this seems like how I imagine using SQL. It’s well-known that ORMs are a bad abstraction. Although given that it’s well-known, there’s already a lot of alternate solutions, so I’m interested what yours is and why people may be “befuddled”.
>that is typically used to separate us into racial and ethnic categories is a very small subset (imagine some genetic 'knobs' for hair color, skin color, stature, morphology, etc).

What they're saying is that they're no genetic components that do this at all.

There's no "black dna" or "Asian dna" or genetic component that is present in all peoples of a particular "race" that separates them from other "races".
Look at 'netrw" plugin, which has been bundled as one of the default plugins with vim for years now.
About 7 years ago now I'd say I had an identity crisis. Startup life is rough whether you're working for someone or on your own. I've done both. I wanted to find work life balance but that stressed me out more.

Ultimately, Jiro Dreams of Sushi kinda re-ignited that building passion for me. I read some books that made me realize I give to many F*s about things that don't matter. I have my day job and am doing things I'm proud of on the side and oh-ya I have a family and work life balance now some how.

I guess looking back, it was about finding the right mix of what I want to spend my time on day-in-day-out, and matching it with the right people and work around me. It was about seeking out and trying different things until I found the "happy path" for me.

I want to build cool stuff people use, but I hate feeling like I'm in free fall. I'll end up choosing the 30% risky path these days, and maybe that doesn't make a billion dollar startup but I don't really care. Or maybe it will because I'm just building stuff I want shrug
And when will that happen? In 30 more years?
Maybe you're right. Obviously, if this advice helps people, then I should just back off.

It's true that removing code is better than adding it, and that code is a liability. And I admit that I needed to hear that early in my career.

But the article acknowledges that "over-adherence to [that] dogma can be counter productive". Great--so how can I tell if I've gone too far? How do I know if I should write more code or less code? How do I know if my code is "dumb" enough? The article does not help with that.

Saying that "code is a liability" is not actionable advice.

Edit: In contrast, I found this article full of actionable advice: https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/mastering-programming
Another observation is that if we ignore the existence of race AB, a person of race A with "mixed" genetics, and a person of race B with mixed genetics, may be closer to eachother genetically than other members of race A and B (since as you say, they're closer to race AB, not A or B).

Defining discrete categorisations for things that exist on a continuum is definitionally arbitrary and misleading.

Don't tell that to psychiatrists though, who do EXACTLY what is being criticised here and slap people who exist on a continuum with an arbitrary label, and yet the DSM-V is still taken seriously by the scientific mainstream.
Domestic terrorists hate it that corporations have sophisticated anti-terror operations.

It sucks that corporations have to take this on themselves, but that's just the world we live in. It's no mystery why these people fled the CIA for private industry during the Trump era.
> this should not have happened

We agree on that.

> If people were honest about how common child exploitation is

I don’t know what “being honest” means. Do you think that there are masses who know about such exploitation and remain silent? If so please bring it to the attention of authorities.

> it shouldn't have gotten to

It shouldn’t. Someone responsible at facebook should have said “damn, this is very bad. We are shutting this down now, and reporting everyone to the authorities”

> how far this went before anyone cared

Caring presuposes that one knows about something. The fact that it is a scandal once it become known means that people care.
If we only look at the simplest example then I would agree that there is not much difference. But more complicated plots will require you to write code in a more verbose and imperative fashion when using matplotlib.

Take a faceted plot like this scatter matrix [1] and try to plot it in matplotlib. You would need to set up the grid using subplots, then define the combinations you want and finally write logic to fill each subplot. The vega/altair code is much more declarative. You just tell it what needs to be in the rows/columns and vega/altair takes care of the rest.

Linux is usable now, but it's not preinstalled for personal use and not approved for corporate use. That's the current issue.
re: caching python functions, is it referring to functools.lru_cache maybe?
That particular definition of "harmful material" mirrors the definition of obscenity, which is not protected speech.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kagi has already received multiple offers from various companies. The person behind Kagi seems very driven and has a vision for it that doesn't include taking a boat load of cash at this time. See the way they did their first investment round, it was not pitched to VCs.
I was just citing it as an example, I wouldn't advocate for such thing nor do I know really how common this happens.
They really don't want this to happen, which I think is a big part of the push behind the "AI is dangerous" narrative. They want to put in place regulations and 'safeguards' that will prohibit any open-source, uncensored, or otherwise competitive models.

Then, there are a lot of programmers who are completely unaware of these tradeoffs, and simply follow some trend or methodology without any thought of their own. 20 lines of code split over 4 microservices? Sure, why not? "It's supposed to make development more flexible and improve the developer experience". Cherish coworkers who actually care about their craft, not all shops have them.
On Tuesday, I had a printer issue at a client site and I was going to pull up the “Devices and Printers” panel to manage the drives and printing default settings. In the most recent 22H2 Windows 11 update, they hid it!

Using old Control Panel (Start->Run->control)

Clicking on this will redirect you to the new settings printer that gives NO options to do any advanced troubleshooting and removes the ability to FIX the issue!
It's curious that in as comprehensive an analysis as this, OP does not even mention Pepe Silvia.
This seems to be a ledger, except that it's not written down! Oral history as money. (Is a community's collective memory transportable?)

> The ownership of a large stone, which would be too difficult to move, was established by its history as recorded in oral tradition rather than by its location. Appending a transfer to the oral history of the stone thus effected a change of ownership

Compare with locations in a memory palace:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci

And to show that memory and consensus are what's important, it doesn't even matter if you lose the stone:

> In one instance, a large rai being transported by canoe and outrigger was accidentally dropped and sank to the sea floor. Although it was never seen again, everyone agreed that the rai must still be there, so it continued to be transacted as any other stone.
I tried it for myself. The prompt for the Python was not given, so I skipped it, but I asked in a new session "What is mantra for Saraswati?"

An excerpt from the result:
ॐ ऐं वाग्देव्यै विद्महे कामराजाय धीमहि। तन्नो देवी प्रचोदयात्॥ (Om Aim Vagdevyai Vidmahe Kamarajaya Dhimahi। Tanno Devi Prachodayat)

So, there is Sanskrit in the response.

IDK what the article is on about, especially when the complete prompts were not given. Or, maybe Google fixed the problem.
IMO PowerShell is horrible. It is it an object, or not an object. You don't know, unless you know. How about operators? They make ZERO sense (-eq). They went supreme extreme on namespaces. I could write a paper on how bad PowerShell is.
