I was actually extra annoyed with that Linkedin icon in that it reappeared after my first uninstall, and only permanently disappeared after a second uninstall. I was half joking that I would return the PC if it appears a third time. Guess the joke's on me...
Massively agree. Code mirror 5 was excellent. Code mirror 6 was a big enough improvement to justify the upgrade. I've used it as part of 2 large projects and it's handled every expanding use case I've needed it to. It supports themes, sql,js and 2 weeks ago I used its diff functionality. Really great library I can fully recommend.
Interesting juxtaposition.

A proper opportunist (what the word means) grabs opportunities for the sake of and in spite of being morally obligated to take other things into consideration.
Can we please talk about Unicode without the myth of Han Unification being bad somehow? The problem here is exactly the lack of unification in Roman alphabets!
1999 was also an amazing year for movies. Part of me wants to blame nostalgia, but I genuinely think there was more variety and originality back then.

But it does, IIRC, for both Bengali and Telugu.
Here is an experience have had…

I’m on vacation in a city hundreds of miles from home. My plane ticket is on my phone. I drop my phone and break it, needing a new one. How do I get logged back in on my new phone, to get access to my ticket, so I can catch my flight home?

In my particular situation, 2FA was forced upon me by Apple some time earlier. Through dumb luck, I happened to bring an iPad on my trip which I was able to use for 2FA to get logged back in and get home. If I hadn’t brought a 2nd device, or wasn’t in my home locations (with the setup you mention), what do I do?

A lot of people have a phone as their only device these days. 2FA, or location dependent 2FA seems really bad. I don’t know how people recover when a primary, or their only, device is lost/broken?

I have since setup a recovery key with Apple. I’m planning a trip in a couple weeks. I’m thinking I need to write down my recovery key and keep it in a money belt, so if something goes wrong I have a way to get at my data, so I can get home. But is the average user going to do any of that? No way. This all seems like a huge risk.
This perfectly matches my expectation of the Effective Altruism movement: a sociopath carefully mapping out 15 alternative approaches to take, only one of which being "tell the truth", the other being various lies that contradict each other. All for the greater good, of course.

It's actually good in the long run if I get off scott free and steal all this money, because I will eventually donate it really effectively, so it's going to be a net positive for humanity.
Wings are so fascinating. Flying animals have their whole body, from their brain, digestive system, down to their bones internal structure and function [0] optimized for flight. That's where we see species giving up flight ability to get a stronger body, and I wonder what it would take for us to do the reverse to be able to use these wings in any way.

I have mixed feelings about that one. The building is much better than RCT (1-3, the ones that I've played) both coasters and buildings, however I don't like the art style at all and the terrain is mostly flat and much less interesting. Also the additional goods movement and service building hiding aspects that they added somewhat detract from the fun in my opinion. In the first RCT only the entrance (and possibly exit, I don't remember) had to be above ground, so with a bit of coaxing you could build rides that are underground except for a hole above the entrance, which was neat. Also, unlike RCT3, Parkitect doesn't let you move the camera to a path view (grid layout and isometric view are not really related), which is something I like to do.

One thing RCT does better than other sim games I've played is having a ton of customization options (Parkitect does this too). I like Timberborn also and wish it would have more customization possibilities like the RCT games. There are some limitations in the RCT games, like setting up a free monorail system doesn't cause anyone to use it to get to the next ride they are heading to, but in terms of decorations there is quite a bit you can do with it.
Covid is supposedly a respiratory tract infection, so who'd be expecting it to only show up in the gut? It seems they still don't know whether that is in fact the explanation.

There were a few non-US companies making chipsets for PCs back in the late 90s/early 2000s --- VIA, SiS, ALi, UMC, Winbond, etc. I'm sure China has the resources to make its own.

For what its worth, I ran many many many miles in my fivefingers and loved them. But I was a lot younger then, I prefer more cushioning on the balls of my feet, and I mostly walk anymore. My cardio of choice has moved to biking, it's just more fun (for me, YMMV)
Just comparing MW when wind is blowing is never going to be useful or result in a productive discussion. You need compare nuclear with other useful, base load generation methods in terms of build cost/time/CO2 per MW.
Proof of stake is not really any different to the fiat system it's trying to replace.

If a money isn't proof-of-work then it implies that some people can create it without doing work.

Gold's proof-of-work stood it in good stead for thousands of years. It was only some of it's physical limitations that led to fiat beating it. In fact fiat would be worthless if it wasn't boot-strapped into having value by originally representing gold's proof-of-work. Now we have digital proof of work in bitcoin. It doesn't have the physical limitations of gold, and fiat is going to hyperinflate to 0 once again - but this time it will stay there.

Since when? Who goes to boston for the 'nyc-lite' experience?

> But the mass gentrification of LIC, Brooklyn and Jersey City has now made it possible to have NYC-lite within NYC itself.

What are you talking about? LIC and Brooklyn are part of NYC. It is the NYC experience. Are you confusing NYC with Manhattan?

> So it makes Boston less appealing.

Nobody moves to boston for a NYC-lite experience. Have you ever been to NYC or Boston?

> P.S: I say this in jest, but make DeSantis ship a few more migrants up to new england. The Mexican food scene is trash and needs help.

What?
Yep, agreed, it's pretty much dead, unless the SMR people can figure out the low-end. There's a reason why our anti-nuclear friend directed his vitriol there, lol.

That said, I hear that China is building nuclear. We might be able to import the know-how, or develop the political will to spin ours back up. A bit of national jealously goes a long way.
I understand there are extreme cases like the Nazis. I'll say something about that below. But I'm not sure we can group the Aztecs in with them, certainly not to the point that so much of their culture was destroyed as it was. Also worth nothing they weren't sailing around the world conquering peoples. Yes, maybe they were doing it at home, but Spanish culture is the one that survives, even though they also behaved abbhorently. And I love Spanish culture even though they did. I wish Ï could enjoy Aztec culture in a similar way.

I disagree that Japan and Germany had their cultures eradicated. Both nations maintain rich cultural traditions and express them within the safe bounds of their nation states. What happend in meso-America was much closer to the kind of eradication of cultures the Nazis wanted to see, which was the reason they are so reviled.

And just to say I don't think it's fair to say pacifism is a fringe idea. Many of our world's states are officially pacifistic, many of our greatest philosophers have subscribed to it and there have been mass movements for peace which in some cases have resulted in decolonisation or have bolstered democratic opposition in war time.
Honestly I can't think of many notable abuses of operator overloading in C++.

The worst is probably the original idea to overload the bit shift operators for stream I/O, something which never really caught on outside the standard library.

From the article:

Her father, Jason, said he would show Emily a series of coloured bowling pins for about 10 seconds and then spin her around, asking her to name the order they were in.

“She would knock them off right away in terms of identifying every pin, in terms of, you know, red, yellow, green, blue,” he said.

Her mother, Julie, discovered Emily -- at age five -- could watch a Peanuts cartoon and then recall and repeat the dialogue from any point in the episode.
many CS conferences have something literally called a "meta-review" and then there are further senior people who read and oversee the meta-reviews. it stops there though.
He didn't say he dislikes them.

He said they were people who were provably lying about the very existence of the problem that they now claim nuclear will fix (in 2 decades, at great expense).
That would be true if the test strings were "SS" and "ß", because although "ẞ" is a valid capitalization of "ß", it's officially a newcomer. It's more of a hybrid issue: it appears that APFS uses uppercasing for case-insensitive comparison, and also uppercases "ß" to "SS", not "ẞ". This is the default casing, Unicode also defines a "tailored casing" which doesn't have this property.

So it isn't per se normalization, but it's not not normalization either. In any case (heh) it's a weird thing that probably shouldn't happen. Worth noting that APFS doesn't normalize file names, but normalization happens higher up in the toolchain, this has made some things better and others worse.
I'm surprised that other countries are cool with the it to be honest. Every major nation should be making their own chips.

A single user system, perhaps.

I've worked on a system that … well, didn't predate Unicode, but was sort of near the leading edge of it and was multi-system.

The database columns containing text were all byte arrays. And because the client (a Windows tool, but honestly Linux isn't any better off here) just took a LPCSTR or whatever, it they bytes were just in whatever locale the client was. But that was recorded nowhere, and of course, all the rows were in different locales.

I think that would be far more common, today, if Unicode had never come along.
This is not an apologist perspective, my heart weeps for the knowledge that was lost. But from the perspective of the Spanish conquistadors, all of Aztec culture looked like devil worship. Bear in mind these were Catholics who were suddenly immersed in a culture that regularly performed ritual human sacrifice. So they buried their statues and burned their books. It's tragic, but not all that surprising, really.
Why not title this "Nuclear's role in the world" because NetZero is still a company that does stuff. Also, why the apostrophe?
yes, they tend to out-compete and shade-out other plants. They're popular curbside in LA for that reason, though I worry about the topsoil quality and erosion without some cover plants.
That's a much more hacker way that my thoughts of adding a swivel to the rope and some sort of tail on the payload to attempt to keep it oriented with the wind. I will definitely keep an eye on your project to see how it works out. It sounds like an interesting idea to be sure. Good luck!

He seems to have done that talk several times. I watched the 2022 one. Time well spent!
Early on, Netscape effectively exposed Windows keyboard events directly to Javascript, and browsers on other platforms were forced to try to emulate Windows events, which is necessarily imperfect given different underlying input systems. “These features were never formally specified and the current browser implementations vary in significant ways. The large amount of legacy content, including script libraries, that relies upon detecting the user agent and acting accordingly means that any attempt to formalize these legacy attributes and events would risk breaking as much content as it would fix or enable. Additionally, these attributes are not suitable for international usage, nor do they address accessibility concerns.”

The current method is much better designed to avoid such problems, and has been supported by all major browsers for quite a while now (the laggard Safari arriving 7 years from this Tuesday).

That's exactly what happened at the last eclipse back in 2017. To get to the path of totality, I had to drive on an unpaved forest service road for several miles. Where the road ended there was a big clearing with a bunch of people already there. Fortunately they were very friendly, it was kind of a party atmosphere.

Anyway, it was worth all the trouble. One thing was that I got some great photos of the eclipsed sun. I'm looking forward to the upcoming event in April. I'll be in Mexico where viewing should be good, bad weather being less likely in that region. Hopefully I'll be able to get even better photos this time around.
Here's my attempt at what you're describing: pdfmindmap.com.

I recently made the MVP and would love feedback. PM me if you need more credits.
I was going for extreme examples to make the point, but look at any modern advertiser: their products are used to target segments of society such that we can be encouraged to either turn against one another or to make some kind of decision which is bad for us and good for whoever is doing the advertising.

The perspective you're describing doesn't seem to have a way to classify this activity as unhelpful without going so far as making it illegal. Without that ability, I don't see how we can ever expect the market's notion of value to find itself in line with society's values. The best we can hope for is a random walk within the bounds of "illegal".

A Video Captures a Searing Portrait of the Subway, and of the City Above
Weird but genuine question: would it surprise you if it was true that most people would agree with that statement? (that there are no viable alternatives to Excel)

It seems obvious to me that it is true, from my particular slice of the world, so I find it surprising that anyone would find it unsurprising. (The reason is that I am aware that whole businesses/parts of businesses are built on Excel in a way that is not replaceable by programming languages, and which everyone would refuse to replace with anything besides Excel because it's best-in-class and integrated into everything already.)

If this compound is developed into a treatment, I do hope that people who actually need it. I also hope, but would be shocked, that people who should and could just exercise actually don't get it, that we don't have the same circus as with Ozempic. "I don't have to be disciplined, I can just take this pill, lol."

The drug companies are rubbing their hands together and licking their lips for the latter, while claiming they're doing it for the former. I believe the scientists are in it for the people that need it, but if this gets developed into a drug or treatment, I have little faith that it will be as restricted as it ought to be.
Any political cause larger than a certain size will have someone stinky in the big tent. There are stinkers in the renewables tent too, does that mean we should boycott solar panels? Of course not. Same here.

>But a fight on Thursday on a speeding A train in Brooklyn that started with those taunts did not end there. It continued to escalate before a rush-hour crowd, from words to fists to a blade to, finally, a gun.

The encounter came just over a week after New York’s governor took the extraordinary step of ordering the National Guard below ground to make the trains feel safer. The shooting undermined the city’s message that riding the subway is, statistically speaking, quite safe.
Countryside roads that normally get very little traffic can quickly get clogged. If you're prepared to sit in your car for a few hours you're good though.

Also no need for glasses during totality. Before totality, you can look at the shape of shadows through a piece of paper with a whole punched in it.
You have a choice, and that choice is to simply stop using Windows. I made this choice around 6 months ago because of these shenanigans. My production machine now runs Linux, and I'm more productive now when I was with Windows, but I also keep a remote Windows virtual machine running for those times that I still need to interface with this annoying legacy operating system.
Cool concept, I hope they succeed. Anyone know what level of maturity this project is at?

I don't have a good memory at all, but for some reason, if I listen to a podcast a second time I can recall exactly where I was as the podcast goes on.

For example, if I listened to the (fantastic) “search engine” podcast about pig butchering I would know where I was walking my dog, or cleaning the kitchen, etc…

It's very odd
If they could bring agentic interaction to phone, I think it will fundamentally change the way we interact. Based on my experiments with GPT-4V it's close to being there but AI still hasn't reached that point. And given they are using tiny model in comparison, it would be hard to do that.
There's also a more comedic take on that theme from SMBC: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3576

(Spoilers ahead) I actually like the comic very much; it's too uncomfortably plausible that humans might simply become too lazy and dependent on AGI to bother to maintain our own agency and thus doom ourselves.
I wrote something very similar a few years ago – https://github.com/arp242/singlepage

I mostly use it for a few Go programs where I generate HTML; I can "just" use links to external stylesheets and JavaScript because that's more convenient to work with, and then process it to produce a single HTML file.

I don't understand how this comment could even be made in earnest. Normal people don't buy their house with cash, they get a mortgage with a reasonable down payment and a monthly sum they can afford.

Your claim here is that someone who is buying a house, likely early-mid in their career at 25-40 years old, needs to pay for a million dollar house in cash while also having $3-4 million dollars additional cash reserves? For retirement, which they won't be doing for 30 years? What?

So many posts mention years '98 & '99 as the "peak of civilisation". Them being years of my birth, these mentions & my experiences, enforce in me the feeling that I was born into a falling civilisation.

Not that I do not enjoy the vision of passing the stick from organic creatures, made by happenstance, to purpose built machines. But as a human, I do miss the endless opportunities of the 2000s chaos and I feel like they were better times than todays monitored, calculated, cold life under cameras & microphones.

Hi! Author here.

Preprint review as it is being discussed here is post-publication. The preprint is shared first, and review layered on top of it later. Click through to the paper[1] I'm responding to and give it a read.

But, also, prepublication review doesn't need to be "reintroduced". It's still the standard for the vast majority of scholarship. By some estimates there are around 5 million scholarly papers published per year. There are only about 10 - 20 million preprints published total over the past 30 years since Arxiv's introduction.

There are a bunch of layered institutions and structures that are maintaining it as the standard. I don't have data for it to hand, but my understanding is that the vast majority of preprints go on to be published in a journal with pre-publication review. And as far as most of the institutions are concerned, papers aren't considered valid until they have published in a journal with prepublication review.

There is a significant movement pushing for the adoption of preprint review as an alternative to journal publishing with the hope that it can begin a change to this situation.

The idea is that preprint review offers a similar level of quality control as journal review (which, most reformers would agree is not much) and could theoretically replace it in those institutional structures. That would, at least invert the current process: with papers being shared immediately and review coming later after the results were shared openly.
