Cool! What does reactive client-side rendering mean in this context? That state changes are pushed from the server?
Absolutely so, in the sense that people who get concerned about "loyalty" mean when they use the word. That sort of concern is, in my opinion, a big red flag that those people should not be trusted.

But there is a real kind of loyalty. The sort you have towards your friends and family. That's not the sort that requires you to abandon your values, but instead to prioritize them and support them. Even when supporting them means disagreeing with them and/or doing things they don't like.
sounds more like "SV is pricing universities out of AI researchers" to me
> There can be no 'free market' when you're dealing with communists.

This is simply untrue. People wouldn't buy the product if it wasn't the best bang for the buck. Here "buying" is done with quantities of personal data.

Does it help that TikTok costs are subsidized by a gov entity and therefore they can operate with lower revenue? Probably. Are consumers still getting the best deal? Absolutely.

TikTok isn't a mysterious product. People know what they're getting and what they're giving to get it. Stop removing agency from folks and realize that TikTok would disappear tomorrow if a better product hit the market.
I'd argue the solution is even simpler and has been known for decades.

Land value tax.
I think the truth is more subtle than that. I think suffering can act as a filter; some people able to build resilience while others are trapped by it and never improve. But I DO NOT think that suffering is necessary to build resilience, nor that suffering is necessarily the best filter to use. I think it is better to build resilient habits, such that if suffering is encountered one won't be filtered out, but not to seek out suffering in the hope that experiencing it will force resilience.
I am not sure everybody would agree with that statement. Some might say academia exist to do research that extend humanity's knowledge, whether there's a financial reward or not.
The slightly dismissive nature of the toss seemed like a hack or maybe a deliberate way to speed up the [pick up, carry, drop] pathway.
I think the ability to run services is really what separates Devbox from other related Nix-based dev-env solutions.

Essentially taking what you get from the NixOS-specific configuration.nix options (like for example `services.mediawiki.enable = true`) and letting that be per-project, per-directory, is super useful.
>> Private companies like SpaceX will save us

Well, all the previous private companies that built spacecraft for decades didn't manage to save us. (Space Shuttle = Rockwell, Apollo capsule = North American, Saturn V = Boeing, Mercury Capsule = McDonnell Douglas.) The fact that a device was designed/built/operated by a company with shareholders doesn't make it magically more efficient. What matters is how the entire operation is managed, something more tied to the identity of the customer than that of the contractor.
Exact same experience here. Been fiddling with nixos for quite a while, but never got comfortable with .nix or flakes. The base concepts keep escaping my mind, I have to revisit every time I have to configure something new and I just got tired. Issues are difficult to debug and you have to go through very specific commands and a hellish filesystem to understand what's going wrong. I love the concept, but I feel like it just gets too much in my way.
Google tried to follow the law, but how can they comply when CCP laws mercurial & vague which is the opposite of EU & US law? As for meta, why would our people and companies want to knowingly participate in the genocide (not cultural genocide but full on genocide) of the Uighurs in Xinjiang?

If you believe that the constitution protects inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government then how can those rights be denied to non citizens? The government gets to decide who is and isn’t a citizen, which would mean they can decide who is or isn’t eligible for so-called “inalienable” rights.
Happy to take this one, as I am one of the cofounder of Daytona.

Daytona solves all the automation and provisioning of the dev environment, actually wrote an article here laying out exactly what we do: https://www.daytona.io/dotfiles/diy-guide-to-transform-any-m...

Daytona currently supports only the dev container (https://containers.dev/) "dev env infrastructure as code" standard, but are looking to support others such as devfile, nix and flox.

Hope this helps
> What do you think will happen when all Americans start side-loading it?

We will have a new debate.

Nobody wants to kill TikTok. There is simply way too much money in it.
according to the prior poster, they just walk away from all those Gs, unharmed. lol
Your comment is factually incorrect. In no universe is anyone getting 10 years in federal court for killing a person.
> I like that it doesn't hide nix

Yep. That's my main argument for it against devbox.

> Does it have any kind of simpler syntax for overlays?

Yes, it does. But what helps isn't that, but the concise docs with just the information I need to know to get up and running quickly: https://devenv.sh/getting-started/

I've read multiple docs/books on Nix, but I always find myself lost when I need to accomplish anything simple. With devenv, I can spot most of my answers from the docs menu. They are all a single click distant from me.
I think there's probably no way we can trust the data isn't going to China. This is China we're talking about.

But I don't even think the real problem is videos of high school girls doing choreographed dances going to China. The problem is psyops and disinformation. I think it's much more likely TikTok could be, and probably has been, used to sow political discord. It's not hard to imagine the Chinese government "suggesting" to TikTok that they alter their algorithm to promote content that, say, discourages people from voting, or promoting political violence, or eschewing vaccinations.
I'd imagine practically no one actually takes that because the standard deduction is more lucrative. Unless you live in a far above average priced home with a jumbo loan.
Not precisely, but I was agreeing with you, although I see how that might have been unclear.

It seems like, "is trying to, but doesn't really understand what that entails".

If nothing else, it serves as a warning to others that Elon reaches out to, offering a sweetheart deal.
The fuck are you talking about. We price out labor constantly and it seems to make the economy better. Also things really can’t be priced by labor. By that logic, a 10,000ft pile of shit would be priced at the cost of labor I paid people to build it.

No one is going to buy that mountain of shit. The labor had only a part to do with the cost.

Everything works that way.
And another blogpost by an American that is so isolated from communism that he literally doesn't understand what it even is.

If you were to summarize his blog post his definition of communism is "when the government bails out private capital". Can't make this shit up, honestly.
No equal access, but Tesla, and apple remain popular in china (for those with the money to buy them) in spite of the propaganda.

Our own social media platforms have been doing a perfectly good job of spreading disinformation. And now were building ML systems to accelerate someone's agenda.

You beat tiktok by building what's next and watching it fade like every other platform before it.
Wish they also ban Facebook too, in EU (X is not relevant here).
zoning laws are usually locally voted on and approved - if the locals in any given area want to allow business, they can - but lots of people don't want to live close to businesses - so they vote accordingly.

People that want to live near businesses and don't, should move to places that have it - there are lots of places in the country like that.

People that want to live in an entirely residential area, but don't, should move to those places that are.

Why do we need a single solution for everyone, in all areas?
Your link didn't address the other factors preventing a job, such as criminal records. Sure, severe mental health issues are only a quarter. And substance use is something like 40%, but significant overlap. Add in felony convictions and see were we land.
Suppose you'd like to understand how Java handles inheritance and contracts and say you'd like your LLM to explain the below Java class definition:
public SensitiveClassName extends SensitiveSubClassName implements SensitiveInterfaceName { // boilerplate }
If you don't want sensitive names to be injected into the LLM (for obvious reasons), you could paste it in Cypher Note's editor, hit Ctrl+Space on a selection like `SensitiveClassName` and hit Encrypt. This creates an in-memory mapping of a random noun with SensitiveClassName and allows you to map and unmap your query/response as many times as you'd like until you hit "End Session". There isn't any "encryption/decryption" happening per se but rather obfuscation and deobfuscation to names (that one would probably not prefer ending up in a training dataset).
How the Biggest Plane Would Supersize Wind Energy
I really like the idea, just takes some getting used to.

These are not a big deal, since you can "unfocus" pretty easily but:

If I'm focused on a text field I can't use gesture navigation to go back.

I also cannot press "X" to clear text field if I'm focused (example: Google Play Store's search field has it, happens with the "back" button too), also cannot press any of the "recent search results" in the settings app

Both open/enable the keyboard instead, not sure if that's something that can be solved.
It might not result in maximum ByteDance profits, but TikTok's notification will help a generation of "youths" realize the political process affects them and help them care about technology censorship issues. This is a good thing.
CA Cities Try to Wrestle Back Control of Streets from Self-Driving Car Companies
I've been trying to gradually introduce Nix more into my development.[0]

One roadblock I haven't been able to overcome is integrating Nix in CI. In my case, I use CircleCI. I know there are Nix-centric CI platforms, but I've invested a lot into CircleCI and would like to stay.

The problem I hit is that if I switch from something like a sqlfluff Docker container to a Nix Docker container, my build job goes from 15s to 2m+ because now I have to download several gigs within the CI job and build my Nix environment from scratch.[1]

I tried Cachix, but the best I could get was bringing the job down to 55s (a roughly 3x performance penalty from an off-the-shelf Docker container).[2]

How does FlakeHub Cache's performance in CI compare to the default Nix cache or to Cachix?

In what way is RAII a burden?

Genuinely curious, since I find it quite easy to work with.
Raising awareness about a bill in Congress and giving US citizens the tools to speak to their representatives about it isn't "manipulating democracy", it promotes democracy. That is a foundational part of how American democracy is supposed to work, the reps vote on bills but the citizens have the last word - if that's so unacceptable that lawmakers would change sides to ban TikTok in response then Americans should start making funeral preparations for their democracy, because it sounds like these lawmakers want their constituents to be docile, silent and ignorant.
I guess you're not necessarily improving your social skills playing alone?
I didn't downvote you and I don't wish to cause offense, but unless you elaborate somewhat on why you disagree, this is a pretty low value comment.
Why isn't TikTok available in China? Do you think it makes business sense to operate two different apps if they're "analogous"?
Well, Markdown as a format is intended to be viewed rendered as HTML (or equivalent), and WYSIWYG means that the editing takes place in the rendered representation. Markdown is only a storage format then, that merely happens to also be human-readable. That the is rendered representation itself is not fixed and can be styled or themed independently is not a contradiction IMO. But call it what you want.

The main reason I’m interested in WYSIWYG editing for Markdown is that I find monospaced fonts to be too hard on the eyes for editing prose text of any length. But due to lists and code fragments and the like, just switching to a variable-width font in a plain-text editor is also not very practical.
Cheaper how? NASA doesn’t fly their own rockets or spaceships, so there’s no comparison.
It would be amusing if the end result of harassing net-productive taxpayers (suburbanites) is that they exit even further into wholly private areas where the government provides almost no services and nearly all the "local tax" is spent on upkeep of only the private community.
I think maybe the games are a bit different and it wasn't viable? I was pretty into the original WC3 Dota and starting with tangos for healing was a pretty popular strategy for supports and solo lane players.

This bill if passed and enforced could be the beginning of a very deep change of the structure of the internet. Since the internet developed mainly and the infrastructure relied on US companies, it was excepted that US will play nice and will not use this to cause problems. Of course, Snowden showed us that even American are not safe. Now you are basically telling each government that we will use our tech advantage against anyone we seem an adversary. And I think WMD stories may still be fresh in the eye of any decision maker and would take this as a security issue. This might propose the actual Balkanization of the internet, as each country or group of countries might think that seeking independence from US infrastructure dominance is a national security interest. I think this might have much deeper impact that the obvious and short term effects proponents see.

To be completely honest, it’s a bit naive to assume that congress people represent their constituents first. It is commonly known, and backed up by evidence, that they will back their financial backers first and foremost.

It is unclear who the backers in this case are. But when in doubt, follow the money
It simply takes a non-zero amount of energy to turn a transistor on and off.

Add up trillions of transistors, flicking on and off billions of times a second, and you get enormous power draws.

What is actually drawing power is the gate capacitance of the transistors. If the transistor were a physical switch, the gate capacitance is the "weight" that must be put on the switch to flip it. Of course this weight gets smaller as the switches shrink and as the tech improves, but it will always be non-zero.

None of this accounts for resistive losses either, which is just the cost of doing business for a CPU.

Radxa Rock 5 model B, Turing Pi RK1, Orange Pi 5 (and Plus); there are a few others but those are the models I have purchased and tested. All are more efficient/faster... but also more expensive and less supported. Though RK3599 and 3588 SoCs have both been some of the most widely supported out of Rockchip for Linux applications. They still lack compared to Pi's support though.

I have heard this claimed a great deal, but has it ever happened in a major city (heard of it in some tiny rural towns)? The places with high housing costs are some of the most productive economies out there.

Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Vancouver, etc. should be experiencing the worst possible labor shortages were this the case.
Or just a tax on nonprimary residential holdings. Couldn't hurt to take a couple bucks off the folks keeping multiple pie-de-terres or managing a ton of rental units. After all, they can definitely afford it.

They've been on the shelf (well, behind the counter) at Micro Center for a month or so now, never seen them out of stock. It seems like all the models are available at one or two retailers at minimum now, via rpilocator.com.

Are you in the US, Canada, or EU? Outside of those places, there may still be some delays in getting stock to meet demand.
Denser housing sounds good in theory; I support it myself and vote accordingly. The problem is that it comes with other people. The more immediate neighbors you have, the greater the risk that one of them will be an antisocial asshole who makes life hell for everyone else. You're going to occasionally get drug dealers (or other habitual criminals), aggressive dog owners, serious mental illness cases, couples that have screaming arguments every night, motorcyclists who rev their engines at 5:00 AM, etc. And the police/code enforcement/apartment manager usually won't do anything to fix the problem. It only takes one bad neighbor experience to send a family fleeing to a single-family house in the exurbs regardless of costs or environmental impacts. So far I haven't seen the YIMBYs propose serious solutions to the antisocial behavior problem, or even acknowledge that it's an obstacle to their goals.

I'm not an expert; but both Datalog and Prolog make use of Horn clauses, e.g.,

person(joe)
parent(joe,mary)
child(c,p) :- parent(p,c)

(Don't quote me on the syntax.) But you can specify what the OP calls "triples" directly in Datalog, express logical relationships among them, and then query them.

WinterJS 1.0 Runtime (written in Rust, using Spidermonkey)
No the performance is worse with newer variants. One factor seems to be that newer variants tend to replicate a lot in the throat at first and only later move to the nose, but there is probably more than one reason for the change. In 2021, the antigen tests were pretty sensitive if you were symptomatic, but now the false negative rate is 50% or greater if you're on your first day or two of symptoms. They perform better a few days later.

The problem is that people will have symptoms consistent with covid and they're going to visit grandma or whatever, so rather than just cancel, they take a test, the test is negative, and they go do their thing. IMO going just based on symptoms is more reliable at this point unless you're using a molecular test.

That’s not the reason we have a housing crisis. If you look at cities like Houston, where housing is relatively affordable, the vast majority of people still have single family homes. The reason we have a housing crisis is because regulations make it too hard to build housing.

Some of the housing regulations were legitimately put in place for safety reasons to protect people. Others were put in place to keep black and Asian people out. Especially after government initiatives to prevent discrimination in housing like the 1968 Fair Housing Act, efforts to keep out minorities became cloaked in the garb of "public safety", and minority-excluding regulations were sanitized into affordability-excluding regulations.

This perspective seems to be missing the forest for the trees. Bribery isn't illegal for Congress, it's just called lobbying. Insider trading isn't illegal either.

Loose immigration policy and the lack of border enforcement obviously exerts downward pressure on wages for low skill workers. It also bids up rents since illegal immigrants are willing to pile into a 1 bedroom apartment. The elite own businesses and real estate, both of which benefit from illegal immigration reducing wages and increasing demand for rent. If you take a minute to think about the incentives, then see the effects in the world around you, it's pretty obvious what's going on.
