This is the way. Open source projects—languages, libraries, toolkits, etc. (and especially those built by individuals)—are not like YouTube channels vying for your attention, and should not be treated with the arms-length "you serve me" mindset that is so common in some cultures.

As developers, we exist within a shared ecosystem where we all depend on one another. Especially for non-commercial open-source projects, those who put themselves out there are doing so out of goodwill, not because they want to gain fame or money from you (beyond maybe covering the cost of hosting the project). The least we all can do is support them in some small way and thus help build the world of great free software.

"AI appears to be a real threat specifically for juniors"

The threat to students isn't that their jobs will be replaced. The real threat is that they are relying on these technologies to do their work for them rather than learning the concepts and material. I don't know that many college students these days, but the ones I do know describe a culture of just having ChatGPT write your essay, run it through a plagiarism checker, and hand it in.

No, that is not censorship. You calling it that does not make it so.

Consider the alternative: Either morally or legally, Google and/or their advertisers have to run ads on sites that they disagree with, thereby supporting them both financially and reputationally. Where, in that scenario, is their free speech?

You're free to say anything you want. I'm free to not endorse it or support it. So are Google and their advertisers.

> Functionality that might be needed when you drive...should have physical interface.

I generally agree. Safety critical features need physical control options close to the driver's normal inputs.

> But I feel like we already had it with early screens and infotainment.

I have two cars. One with a big screen and few physical buttons, and one with a small screen with lots of physical buttons.

Because of all the physical buttons, the screen had to be a lot smaller. The vast majority of those buttons relate to actions I really shouldn't be messing with when driving or are connected to the auto AC system which as mentioned doesn't really get used. So it is a ton of wasted space on the center console.

On the other car, the screen is very large. There's still important physical controls related to driving and defogging and adjusting media and what not, but they're all immediately around the driver's area not the center console. This allows for the maps for navigation to be very large and easier to glance at. The interface for changing media a lot easier to use when stopped and wanting to actually look at what choices I have or have my passenger make changes.

At least to me, I'd much rather have the center console be filled with the map and actually used input surface rather than just have it filled with tons of buttons which generally still shouldn't be used when driving.
I agree but it’s more possible this far into the cloud era that, say, a small business might have outsourced everything but their own application.

If I'm not using Nvidia hardware, and I don't use Nvidia drivers, and I haven't agreed to their EULA then why would I care?

Emulation is legally protected both explicitly and through legal precedence. The replication of APIs for compatibility purposes has been argued to the US Supreme Court and found to not be copyrightable. At least within some pretty broad scope.

IANAL, but I fail to see what legal basis Nvidia is relying on. For a single user or company who owns no Nvidia hardware this feels moot. For a company with existing Nvidia hardware I could see them having an argument, kinda. But wouldn't that be squarely in the anti-competitive behavior wheelhouse?
> If your election integrity relies on Facebook, YouTube, or even DNS to be up... there are bigger issues.

I agree. While I don't think it likely that Facebook or YouTube would enter into it, I'd pretty much bet that DNS being down would cause problems.

"To many, the birthplace of Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy, and Pokémon is the spiritual home of the console and has featured the industry’s fiercest “golden age” 1980s and 1990s clashes of Nintendo vs Sega, and later, Nintendo vs Sony"

There were many consoles through history. While Nintendo and Sony are still around, there were many attempts by companies and I don't think Japan alone was the spiritual home.

X1 Carbon Gen 7 (bought in 2019): I mildly dislike the thinner keys compared to Gen 6 (tried a friend's copy). On the plus side, I got the nice middle-ground 2560×1440 LCD screen option, which was discontinued a year or two after I bought the computer, which I think forces people to get either 1920×1080 or 3840×2160.
> And it must be acknowledged that physical books are less important than access to knowledge,

I guess that explains why so many libraries are tossing old books, even local history books that have probably never been digitized and will be impossible to replace, while at the same time finding money to have larger computer rooms. Libraries are forgetting their purpose, giving people access to books and other documents should come before more vague missions like "access to knowledge" which gets twisted into meaning something other than books and documents.

Free internet access can be gotten all over the place. I can get online at McDonalds, but I can't get books at McDonalds.

Shen is a very unique language, and one of the ways in which it is unique is that so much of its marketing, information, etc is non-obvious, and less accessible than you might want.

I think the main thing that I find compelling about shen is its type system, especially its sequent calculus system (for defining types in a way that would not be possible for most languages).

The other thing about it that is compelling is how portable it is. the main language is implemented in a simple kernel language; someone who wanted to port the language to a new environment would need to implement a small (relatively) set of primitives, and then you can run the entire shen environment on top of it.

Its worth looking into, however I do caution that it has plenty of rough edges etc.

For me personally I think of it as an inspiration for programming languages I wish to develop someday. Additionally, if you ever worked in a certain environment and really dislike that the language is a bit weak, shen might be something you could port to that language and use. For example, I recently updated https://github.com/deech/shen-elisp so that some of its rough edges were a bit smoothed down and should be more usable; I haven't actually written any shen yet that runs in emacs. That's still a ways away.
i agree that nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation is dead. and clearly it is the case that countries that do not develop nuclear weapons will not enjoy westphalian sovereignty as they did for the previous few centuries, but it's not clear that westphalian sovereignty in the nuclear age was the stable equilibrium that it was in the gunpowder age, and now drones have probably made nuclear weapons obsolete, with so-far-unforeseeable consequences for the contours of international relations

it's possible that pursuing the will-o'-the-wisp of westphalian sovereignty under those circumstances will just make the situation worse and increase the chances of human extinction, which (i feel safe in saying) would be a worse outcome for poland

So, the cloud storage isn't a decentralized system where all users contribute disk space; rather you are providing the cloud storage in boxes you control? It seems like you must have some storage limits to prevent abuse, yes? Could you say what they are?

I'd love to try it, but pretty much all my repos are >10mb. It's not because there is that much code, but because I am doing bioinformatics and the test files (for the unit tests) inflate the repo size. It would be great if there was a way to test it on just 1 large repo for perhaps a week or something, because I balk at the idea of spending $20 a month on something that I don't even know works well.

This is important because I'm not deeply familiar with public projects, so I can't accurately assess if the tool is worthwhile. Whereas with one of my repos, I'd be able to tell quality pretty quickly.
The OP means there is a lot of collateral noise from people who are just tech savvy. Eg. “oh no, I can access Facebook, my internet must be down. Let me login in Down Detector to file a complaint against my ISP”
> The registry is a single point of failure. That's why every single registry editing tip you'll ever find starts with a big fat screaming disclaimer about how you can break your computer with regedit.

Back in the INI days you could prevent Windows 3.x from starting, too.

> The registry is opaque and binary. As much as I dislike the angle bracket tax, at least XML config files are reasonably human-readable, and they allow as many comments as you see fit.

XML/INI/JSON config files will be slower than registry access.

> The registry has to be in sync with the filesystem. Delete an application without "uninstalling" it and you're left with stale registry cruft.

Leaving stuff behind is a fair point, but there's no impact to the system. It just appears to be visibly messy to the user (and why are you spending that much time in regedit?).

With that said, the author fails to rectify how that would work on the file system. Uninstallers typically ignore user-specific data -- and may need to. What if two users used a globally installed application, and the installer DID have an option to remove user data. If one user uninstalls the application yet does not have permission to the other user's userdata folder, it's going to leave files behind.

> The registry is monolithic. Let's say you wanted to move an application to a different path on your machine, or even to a different machine altogether.

You can create a System State backup and restore it to the same or another machine to restore the hive. You can further that with a full system backup which will restore user profiles and programs. No, not as easy as zipping files up and dropping them elsewhere. But the registry can export keys, and that's fairly easy for someone familiar with regedit.

> What's depressing about all of this is how prescient the UNIX conventions are in retrospect.

This fails to see that the UNIX conventions are also not good. Config files littering god-knows-what directory (trace your Apache conf files!). An end user wouldn't understand this, as much as they wouldn't understand the registry.

I think what this boils down to is that the form of how settings are stored does not matter (except the registry will be that much faster thanks to being a JET Blue database and in-memory at all times). An end user with limited knowledge won't know how to backup all settings and restore them elsewhere. An IT admin will, but then the settings storage doesn't matter.

When there's a major ISP outage, people report problems with all the major sites. When Facebook's down, people report problems with any site that has "Login with Facebook" as an option.

Funny thing is, Anthony Gatto was brought up in a circus family and went on to become the world's best technical juggler (based on endurance at high numbers, incredibly difficult technical tricks, and overall consistency rather than just a few one-off record attempts), but eventually got bored of juggling and decided to quit and start a business doing concrete countertop installation.

I did a bunch of juggling in college, and several of my friends went on to do circus arts professionally. Generally they went into more acrobatics oriented arts than juggling; seems like juggling itself is not quite as interesting to audiences as it is to the jugglers.

What unix does is closer to [NonZeroU8] which is actually very helpful as can be seen in shell commands like find -print0 | xargs -0, since a NUL character is guarenteed to not be part of the actual arguments. You could do the same here, but I suspect the program in question does not support NUL characters in their strings for the same reason unix doesn't (because that's what C does).

Im not being sarcastic. That is absolutely not true - there is no way any of the major car companies in North America had any intention of changing up their operations and product offering.

> If your boot camp could be done solely using the plus button of a calculator; people would think it's not worth it.

What if it's a math boot-camp meant to increase your arithmetic proficiency?

When I was in elementary school, I fully believed that calculators made memorizing arithmetic facts obsolete, so I didn't do it and just muddled through. I did the same for algebra (relying on my calculator's solver as soon as I could get away with it). That's hobbled me for the rest of my life, because I'm so calculator dependent that I'm was always too distracted by operating it to fully engage with more advanced math material. I can't think about math in my head because I get stuck on arithmetic problems.

> Now if your boot camp can be solved by ChatGPT is it really worth it?

Yes, for the reasons I outlined above. It's not about getting the answer, it's about getting the toolbox that will get you that answer and understand it.

> All I'm saying is that lou1306 is correct in their definition of a graph.

I never claimed otherwise. I explicitly said the opposite - there are multiple correct definitions. That's literally one of the reasons why there's no general purpose graph type - there are multiple definitions with different properties, all of which are referred to in various contexts as "graphs".

> If that means that both you and ylow are wrong, that's fine with me!

This gives off very strong "somebody is wrong on the internet" vibes...

All I said was (a) in the context of the current discussion (not decided by me!), graphs were already assumed to encompass more than the vanilla undirected V x V definition people are pointing me to, and (b) in that context, one more example (supporting the parent's point that I was replying to!) was graphs with multiple edges. All of which seems quite uncontroversial, true, and in line with the context of the parent comment I replied to. I have nothing to add.
