For those who enjoy SPD I recommend checking out some other popular roguelikes, many of them are also open source.

Some of my personal recommendations would be brogue (probably the most beginner friendly), DCSS (friendly, tons of content), ADoM and Cataclysm DDA (a sandbox survival roguelike, quite a unique mix)
In the 1980s, Iraqi Kurds were fleeing to Turkey for freedom and safety. The Prime Minister was of Kurdish origin. You could hear people speak Kurdish freely anywhere between the west and east end of the country.

There were no "anti-Kurdish" laws and policies. The pro-American coup d'état in 1980 came with a law to control non-Turkish publications, but it was never put into action.
This is fantastic and long overdue. I’m definitely bookmarking this and sharing it with many people.

The problem with UBI isn't so much the politics, it's the feasibility of the cost. $12k a year over 300 million people is 80% of the US government's tax revenue.

A negative income tax might work out a lot better on the numbers, but it won't help the people that need it the most (the ones that can't get a job).

But hey, maybe it can work. The US has a deficit spending of $1.7 trillion in 2023, $1.4 in 2022, $2.7 in 2021. That $1.7 would cover almost half of a $12k ubi. But how long could that last?

That photo you have provided is from a temple in Indonesia, and the Indian temple story you have summarised is regarded to be false, the carving in question was likely added during renovation during British rule.

You do you but don't complain if you end up having a harder time during economic downturn. Everything in life is about risk-reward and going the extra mile is about tipping the scale in your favor. To be fair, don't think op advocate for putting 60h every week. It's about being passionate about what you are doing and sometime just being available for your coworker outside of working hours can be enough. In my professionnal career, it was fairly obvious which colleagues was more than just clocking in and who I would be happy to recommend or hire on the spot.

Thanks. The upgrade command v0.0.15 gives didn’t work for me. In fact the only method I found that would successfully update was to uninstall it, then untap your tap, then reinstall.

Also, I echo the other people saying that the typeface you chose for the website is very difficult to read.
You can measure it for yourself: balance on the bike when it is stationary, then compare the experience to when you're moving.

When you are moving, it adds in the gyroscopic balancing effect.

Gyroscopic motion means that the force applied acts about 90 degrees later, so when you turn the handlebars which are on a (roughly) vertical axis (call it the "z" axis), the force of that turn is actually applied about the axis that runs from front to back (call it the "y" axis). Gyroscopes "translate" the force.

If you're stationary, and there is no gyroscopic motion, then the only thing that turning the wheel really does is allow you to move the front of the bike to the left or right in order to change your centre of gravity.
Even though the newest nvidia drivers have started to support GBM, the Wayland compatibility story is still not great. In my experience on Wayland, several OpenGL programs refuse to work, and Vulkan does not work at all. This is with driver 545.
It's also a weird thing to bring up (Numba being great because it can jit-compile python to any arch, including GPUs) when the author discounted Julia... which has exactly the same property.

Yeah, the two big issues with UI tests: flaky and slow.

Curious how using GPT and vision combats flakiness? I'd feel the entropy of GPT and anything less than 100% accuracy in the computer vision pieces would lead to more flakiness.

I also wonder about the speed and costs of running the tests. When E2E tests are traditionally slow and expensive already. The computer vision and GPT elements seem costlier and less fast.
so experienced cc devs dont need it and the dream is mostly about creating experienced devs who write fast software damage limited by the guardrails of the environment? so its basically the c#\java world of cheap oo software crawling over moores plateau hopping for one more silver bullet that will fix lowcost development,trying to solve the expensive quality dev shortage once more by cheapening out.
The charitable impulse in municipal housing politics gets you a cluster of tiny trailer homes on a parking lot surrounded by a 8 foot fence in an industrial part of town far away. Maybe, if you are feeling especially magnanimous, a servant’s outbuilding in the shadow of your house.

It’s not in human nature to give charity that would elevate others to the same or, God forbid, higher status as compared to the benefactor.

Wherever a young person, newcomer, or upstart has a reasonable chance of attaining what the incumbents enjoy, you’re probably going to find them taking it through market competition, not having it allocated to them by a vote of the incumbents.
No, it doesn't make an argument for that. It's no different from inverting your mouse wheel scroll direction. If you're used to doing it one way you have to get used to doing it another way.
Even though I could WFH most days, I go to the office whenever I can. The point is exactly in being away from home and its distractions. It's much easier to concentrate when in an office.

I worked from home for years, on and off, so I can definitely compare.

Oh, might be the chance to chuck my Alpine, Debian and Ubuntu containers into the flaming sun and just use an Arch Linux base image.

No more dealing with apt nonsense; no more dealing with Debian packaging philosophy which is antithetical to containers; and no more musl, which has been working fine, but I keep wondering whether any DNS issue is because of it.
Ah makes sense - I believe the Algol system I mentioned in another comment was running on a Unisys mainframe.

The Behind The Bastards podcast was speculating about Scientology creating an AI chat phone app trained on L. Ron Hubbard's prolific output so you could chat with The Founder on your phone whenever you wanted.

I doubt they'd do it though. AI Chat is too unpredictable for a cult that wants to tell each adherent exactly what to do in every part of their lives. Hubbard's writings are also likely to be wildly inconsistent and they wouldn't be able to be sure the AI would pick the 'correct' party of his writings to regurgitate.

On the other hand, releasing an app they _said_ was a way to privately chat with an AI Hubbard persona but was actually live chat with thousands of unpaid indentured followers trained to detect and report thoughtcrimes... that sounds right up their alley.

Only if you think that the job of a designer in the software industry is to add graphics.

By similar logic, the past hundred years have been bad for architects because there are no more stone gargoyles added to buildings.
Sounds like Mormons are only going after believers of Christ.

I find this often in religious debate and discussion. In the end the arguments make sense if you believe there is a God and that the Bible captures God’s message. Without those two preconditions there is nothing worth debating, no minds will be changed, no progress made, because to a non believer the word of the Bible has no more value than any other work of fiction.
We're actually replacing a lot of VORs for GPS nav and GPS approaches are also a thing.
> They get paid for it. Don't try to spin this as if it's someone people working on it in their spare time out of the goodness of their heart. It's just their job.

No, you can't have this both ways. I'm the main contributor from AWS, and I've worked many times on weekends because I care about open source. I like helping people, I don't need to be paid to do it. Many of the AWS folks that made changes were normal engineers that were excited to be part of Redis. https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/10419 and https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/8621 are both examples of features someone from AWS built in their free time. We're all upset about this. Not because Redis deserves to get paid, it's that they acted like they were being good stewards of the open-source community and then they changed their mind.

> Local bookstores, delis, cafes, specialty shops, and so on, (a) use "expensive land", and (b) are not, usually, run "from the same building you live in".

Living over a shop like that is normal where I live, which is far from rural; I've been to many small cafes and similar that were clearly someone's (barely) converted home. Of course if you have dumb zoning it may make that impossible, but, uh, don't do that then.

> I'm talking about beloved shops in major cities

So what's over those shops if not living space?

> replaced by expensive real estate getting them demolished to build whatever luxury mega-crap, and driving up rents contributing to gentrification

"gentrification" is a spook. Making a place nicer is a good thing. The only reason nice places are unaffordable is because you build too few of them.
It's going to be funny all the agents we forget are still running, abandoned agents, 'ghosts', wandering the internet, talking to each other for hours, days..

I'm kidding though, agents right now are GPT-2, not very intelligent. I'd say GPT-4 is super intelligent - within its own context.

What would GPT-4 level 'agency' look like? 'Super agency'.. do you plan it, or does it plan you? Do we really think super intelligent AI with agency is something that we can actually control? We're pretty much just dancing around the great filter at this point.
Let me restate. There are many natural phenomena that are complex. Say the details of interstellar nuclear reactions connected to the behavior of stars. There is no simple explanation, only complex mathematical models that predict the behavior very well.

So don't say "no astrophysicist understands stellar reactions" because that is false. They understand fully, and can write the model and simulate it to answer any question.

Ditto for bicycles. Just because there is no simple explanation for bicyles does not mean we don't fully understand the physics of bicycles. It just can't be put in English. Only in complex mathematical models.
There is no spin here. There are people that work for Amazon that work on FOSS projects out of the goodness of their heart, just like folks who are independent developers, or folks who work for startups, or folks who are just getting started.

When a FOSS maintainer tells you they sometimes do work on the weekends for the love of the community [1] you believe them. The evidence (with timestamps!) is there for all to see in the pull requests and commit history.

Meh, ChatGPT has had plenty of news coverage and people were talking a lot about it. Traditional news are filled with stories about AI this and AI that. Even stuff that isn't AI now includes AI somehow just to jump on the hype train.

I've got a normie friend who's already in full doomsday mode about AI and quoting stupid stuff people in the news say about "this wouldn't have been possible without AI" and we're all losing our jobs. People talked about AI a lot and the topic has become boring.

Plus what GP said about grifters and people with zero ethics. I wouldn't mind blending out most of the AI news except maybe actual research progress (and I don't mean better LLMs). It's just a buzzword that I've come to associate with low quality by now. Every stupid thing is with AI now, every Launch HN is something with AI. I'm personally bored by this
The breakdown in representative surveys https://esc.nccu.edu.tw/PageDoc/Detail?fid=7801&id=6963 is more like 8.4% for unification now or later (mostly later), 25.3% for independence now or later (mostly later), 61.1% for not moving in either direction for now or forever.

The big surge in pro-independence sentiment 2019 was due to the Hong Kong National Security Law. Nothing the US does is likely to move the needle nearly as much.
> It seems triple whammy of population, geography and resources is hard to beat.

Doing nothing about it is what's hard to beat.

Even simple things like river pollution, which is directly tied to securing access to safe drinking water and could easily be mitigated by investing in very basic public sanitation services, is not even addressed by their governments.
I agree. When Intel released the i7, I was pretty upset they were holding out all that tech and left me stranded with my Pentium 4.
And a chainsaw is just tool to cut things like a plastic knife.

This is a good decision. Companies like amazon have a habit to rip everyone else.
Yeah the built-in way is not as good and featureful as dedicated app's but now more people are aware it's a thing and get the app.

"You shouldn't use either Lottie or Rive for static animations."

I guess that depends on your use case. If you only have this animation on your website, then probably no. But if you load and run the rive engine anyway, because you build a game with it - then why not also use it for "static animations", if the result can be way sharper?

Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but have you considered integrating with AIs?

One tool I've been looking for (and I wonder if this is such a tool?) is something that can do things like rename variables in functions to "more sensible names". Now, it's not hard to get ChatGPT to read a function and suggest new names for variables, but if you ask it to also do the substitutions, there is an annoyingly high chance it break the function in the process.
I don't think the trinity is the part of Mormonism that people find weird...
It is much easier to list the very few (but very important) applications for which FP64 is not necessary: machine learning/AI, graphics and video and audio processing, other digital signal processing.

The list of applications for which FP64 is required is huge, but they are less known because they belong to scientific/technical computing. Any design engineer would use such applications, but most programmers and non-professionals would not be familiar with them.
The examples given are more about inexperience talking with skilled people and less about etiquette. Same thing happens when you directly talk to anyone else with deeper knowledge of any kind.

For anyone reading this that is not a dev just ask us what you're trying to accomplish without the formalities. If the dev throws a tantrum, they're still green and you should try to ask up the org chart if possible. Otherwise don't hesitate to ask the dev if there's someone who is a better fit for your question.

I do agree with the general idea behind this post though. We ask for brevity because we know, and you do too, that the conversation is going to be a long slog. We are not reassured by your formalities that this is going to be a clean one. Nobody likes to feel embarrassed or dumb. There's no way around this, just dive in please. I've been doing this for over a decade and I have been humbled many times by the broader business concerns I had no clue about. It happens.
Universal Interfaces and Semantic Agents
Thanks for the offer. I would mention it somewhere on your webpage, just so people (like me) don't get worried. Right now I'm too busy to try a new compiler, but if I find myself with a little more time, and a little longer rust compile times, in the future, I will remember to look you up!
Nicer how?
Does this create a problem if schools prevent students from posting their projects publicly (because it would allow other students to "cheat" and look at previous students' solutions), and such projects are no longer considered open-licensed here?
Paying $60 a day could a good way to give a contractor / expert / collaborator temporary access to your design to help solve a specific issue.
No, his house was just as "destroyed" as everyone else's. It's like complaining that after his house was destroyed by the same hurricane that hit the rest of the neighborhood, FEMA made him, but only him, ineligible for assistance.
The shared vs static libs divide has been ongoing since libraries were a thing. Not an OS maintainer/packager, but from the outside, it really seems most of Debian's headaches are because they want to maximize compatibility owing to shared libraries.

Which is an entirely valid approach, but it seems like things would be a lot easier if programs were all statically compiled.
Yeah it's a bit obvious, isn't it? It's the first thing I thought before I clicked through.
Ha ha lol. Is that really the best they can think of in an age of AI? Instead of turning PDFs into web pages how about some actually useful tools:

* Summarisation

* Succinctly placing the research in context of the broader field

* Highlighting limitations or flaws in research methods, etc.

* An outline view to summarise each paragraph/section and then drill down into the ones you actually want to read in more detail

* Rephrasing into plain English. A lot of academics enjoy sounding clever and usling long words so it'd be nice to be able to switch off "ego mode" and just read stuff in plain English instead of having to wade through their word-soup.

With more effort maybe Google could create a PDF reader that is actually innovative.
> Sounds like Mormons are only going after believers of Christ.

I can see why one may think this to be the case, because it invites you to pray in the name of Christ. In order to accept the invitation you need to be willing to offer that prayer. But the invitation starts with "We invite all men everywhere". It's not intended to exclude anyone.
Teaching a Two Year Old To Read with Alphabet Flashcards
I decided to start actively teaching my son to read from his second birthday, and I wanted to share my thinking and his progress along the way.
Also, all the aquatic animals have one rather serious obstacle to developing an advanced/technological society: no way to make/use fire. Personally I think the only thing that really categorically distinguishes humans from other smart animals is that, the use of fire. Yeah, our language abilities are impressive too, but they may have fully developed after we already started using fire, telling stories around the campfire at night. Fire is what makes it possible for us to make use of more energy than we can physically consume; humans are best defined as the ape that mastered fire.
I recently moved from Apple Music to Spotify to see what all the fuss is about, thinking it might get me listening to more music, or different stuff than Apple keeps playing. Using it feels like work and I don’t really get the how they expect users to use the app. I’m tempted to go see if there is a video from the designers explaining their vision so I can use it right. As of now it seems like a mess.

Also, their AI DJ makes no sense. The worst part about radio is the DJ saying nonsense between songs, and they added AI to say nonsense between songs. I was just looking for a way for it to play songs I’d probably like based on other songs/artists I like. With Apple I’d simply tell Siri, “play good music” and it would play a radio station with my name on it (without an interrupting fake DJ).
I often think about open loops, things that clutter my mind and take my attention away. I've spent quite some time creating systems to remove those from my life, enabling me to "forget" as much as possible, and get things done. Thought I could share some ideas on the topic.
When I reimplement one of my programs, I often wind up polishing it too
I'd rather ask at a specific forum, e.g. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/
Yeah it’s a weird take. The hard part about learning rust is borrow semantics and understanding the kinds of architectures the compiler will and won’t allow.

That is why I wrote "Meanwhile XFCE, KDE, Windowmaker, Afterstep, Enlightment.... do them just fine. " to make the point the others handle it without excuses.
The friends I have in academia say that their PhD professors tell them to use "ego mode" or papers won't pass review and be accepted. I'm with you though. And it's not about specific jargon of a field, it's just wankery. Most lawyers do the same thing and you need to get extremely good ones to write good contracts in clear language.

"Sounding smarter through obscurity"
I don’t think IMAP is a good example here. Your email client will try both subscribing and classic polling. Subscribing is not a MUST. And from the point of view of end user, the difference when polling in a classical way is simply that the user will be notified later, so it’s hard to tell what the client really did in the background.
