>>it will at one point make sense to simply shut down in Europe

If the alternative is breaking EU rules - great. Let's see that happen.

>>As an aside, it’s baffling to me why an aging continent with a sluggish economy would want to start a trade war with its only friend.

It's hard to see why a country(well in this case a group of countries) would want to do good for their own citizens?

I guess in some places of the world that is indeed a very novel and unexpected thing.
> If they get fined 10% of 380B, and the EU becomes ever more fine-happy, it will at one point make sense to simply shut down in Europe.

Surely compliance with the law is more profitable then stopping trading.

Is this already being exploited by any sites in the wild? If not, then I kind of wish that it would have been privately reported to Mozilla and the major ad blocker developers to give them time to patch it.
I'm hosting my blog and my private Ghidra server on my Synology NAS. The NAS and the ISP router are already always-on, so it "only" costs me ~20€/year for a domain name.

Even accounting for the electricity and network I'm going to use anyways, it's quite cheap.
Even that’s a mixed bag, though. When it came out, Lightning was a legitimate large step up from micro-USB and their old 30-pin iPod connector, and on MacBooks MagSafe was loved enough by users that it managed to come back from the dead and co-exist with USB-C PD.

I think this is a mass generalization of accountants. Accountants are a wide varying type but the attention to detail is the key distinguishing factor.

The only distinguishing feature of an accountant is that they care deeply that left column = right column. They care that you can track where your money goes, not that every budget is squeezed for profit. In truth, the right accountant might be a boon because she will listen to the engineers rather than think she knows better because she was an engineer decades ago.

She may end up being a terrible CEO, but let's consider our biases here.
We clearly need to phase out name-based identification within software. "What's your name?" should never be a question heard from workers as any means of locating one's official identity in any system.

Some form of biometrics to pull up an ID in a globally agreed-upon system is certainly the way forward. Whether or not it is close to what a final solution should be, World ID is making some effort into solving global identification problems https://worldcoin.org/world-id
If you have fewer threads ready to run than CPU cores, you never have any good reason to interrupt one of them.
While it might be factually true (I actually have no idea about the numbers), this is very cynical.
Market share is fine, honestly earned. Abuse of market share or product is not.

You might make a world beating product and achieve 100% market share. That's great!

If you then use that market share, or your product, to resist competition, or if that happens naturally, so that by doing nothing you are guaranteed 100% market share, then regulators have to step in to ensure a healthy market going forward.
Yeah, Vercel created a tool for such case called serve.

I've made this argument many times and it always raises eyebrows and induces shrugs. We as a species co-evolved with some animals and not others. Our partnership with extends deep into the mists of pre-history. We and they have co-evolved to an extent to be better companions. Eating a dog is a profound betrayal unlike that of eating a horse.

In windows I just use subst to switch python versions. Python always sits on drive P:. Never understood what all the fuzz about this was about. Sure, I have the same package on my disk multiple times, but if I cared about that there'd be easy ways to get around that problem just using OS functionality.

From my perspective, it doesn't come easier than running a batch file to switch between python versions.

Exec: So, how can we enforce a fee while complying with DMA?

Lawyer: We can't, DMA requires it to be open.

Exec: Are you sure? If you can't find a way around this you are fired!

Lawyer: Erm, of course there is a way!!!!
Edge is not a Chrome reskin, it's a Chromium reskin, and I think that distinction matters a lot here. The point of Chromium is that there is effectively no promotion or marketing in it. I think the fact that Microsoft push pop-ups to get users to move to Edge from Chrome is testament to that.

Now from a technical perspective, more diversity in browser engine might be nice, but this doesn't really contribute to the competition discussion.

But also because we refuse to pay. Any attempt at monetization is widely demonized, yet people still feel entitled to free content, and refuse to put their money where their mouth is and at least abstain from consuming the content if they really don't think it's worth the price

It's funny how scarce the "I'd be willing to pay for good content, but alas, there is no option" claim has become since websites have started widely implemented paid ad-free accounts or outright paywalls

I've never seen someone angry that a supermarket won't give them a newspaper for free, but when it's online this is apparently a valid complaint
I don't think a single parameter like that makes it "definitely" low-trust.

In Austria, people are required to deposit money to borrow a grocery cart while shopping for food. Not so anywhere I've been in the US -- ergo Austria is low-trust and US is high-trust? I think not.

Different aspects of cognition may be measurable to a useful extent, but the rest isn't that straightforward. Philosophers still argue about what consciousness even is at the most fundamental level, so quantifying that is not happening. Creativity is just as much about the volatile and fickle relationships among context, inspiration, stimuli, motivation, experience, emotional state at a very granular (likely imperceptible) level, etc. as it is about somewhat measurable things like abstract reasoning. You'd have to be able to look in two different dimensions– one where someone generated creative output having used a psychedelic and one generating the same creative output not having used it to see anything close to an accurate split, and even then, creativity is so subjective that it wouldn't prove much. Like many psychoactive substances, there are probably complex context-dependent trade-offs for the cognition, and when it comes to creative utility, they probably don't affect the process like someone would expect. Perception is relative; some senses may appear heightened (e.g. sense of taste with marijuana use,) when in reality, other competing stimuli are slightly muted. While that would be very consequential in quantitative cognitive measurements, the distinction is probably irrelevant in creative processes. If we didn't have an accurate way to measure sleep, someone would probably declare white noise machines bunk because noise interrupts sleep and they actually make your environment noisier.

Of course, through engineering, generative AI will surely save us from this burden of terribly ambiguous and inconvenient humanity by amalgamating existing humanity and extrapolating/interpolating based on a handful of plain text, so that's... great?
I'm not trying to change your opinion, I just want to follow my opinion when coding. :)

I prefer more verbs and not too many nouns, and I think our brain is used to reading "sentences" like that.

get http://example.com |parse-html |find-links |for-each { .if-external { .print-it } }

Is not that dissimilar from instruction we can understand quite well:

Take a basket, look into it, pick out apples, if the apple is red take it.

If there are complex procedures, I also want to name a temporary result. It's like a divide and conquer strategy. You divide complex expression or instructions to separate definitions and combine those. But I also don't want to divide too much. This on the other hand again obscures IMO.

If I name every internal state, we get this.

hmtlStr = get("http://example.com)
html = parse(htmlStr)
links = findLinks(html)
for l in links {
take = isExternal(l)
if take {
print(l)
}
}

Which I can parse, but it takes more energy to validate that I used the right variable at the right place, not some variable from higher up in the code for example. You probably also don't code like this, but there is some middle ground ...

Just as a thought experiment, don't take me too seriously I will try to "humanize" those instructions:

Take a basket in your hands.
Look into the basket in your hands.
Find apples in looked basket in your hands.
For every apple.
Check if the apple is red.
If it's red, take the apple.

Maybe you can make more balanced version which will be the best of both worlds. Thanks for the discussion :).

I call it the curse of Python.

When the God Of Programming made Python, all other languages were jealous of its elegance, simplicity and intuitive beauty. When the other programming languages went to complain he said..."Wait until you see what package systems I will give them...They will never get an environment properly setup..." :-)
In ML, this will bump you into a nearby optima at random. That optima may or may not be better than your prior. And if it’s worse, there’s a good chance it’ll be very difficult to get back to where you were without external checkpoints to revert to.

The brain is the same, but no checkpoints.
> t's easy to become cynical about psychedelics, because there's a ton of bullshit in the space.

And the bullshit stems exactly from it being a potential career death if someone attempted to research them in depth. Without factual and objective analysis the only knowledge left is a hodgepodge of anecdotes, except for the odd Alexander Shulgin or others more scientifically rigorous minded the reports came from users who are not a good cohort of people to objectively analyse their experiences.

MAPS [0] is one of the few groups who against the odds continued to research it, lately they have been advancing research on using MDMA for PTSD, psylocibin, etc. If it wasn't a huge taboo for decades for serious researches to enter the field this type of research would be much more advanced today.

>>This is why I like Trump to win so that he can tell these EU blood suckers to back off American Companies and stop using them as a piggy bank because their sad, pathetic regulations are literally kneecapping an entire industry.

If Americans don't want to play by European rules, they are absolutely free to stop doing business here. No one is forcing them.

Also how do you imagine it working? Trump becomes president and just tells EU to back off? And will be met with anything other than laughter?

>>EU GDP / innovation has been a disaster ever since these monstrous regulations were put in place.

Well I guess for an American the idea of the government protecting its citizens with regulations must be completely wild - so I kinda understand why you wouldn't see that point of view.

>> but this is the time for Americans to show strong leadership and put these bureaucrats in place.

Like they do at home, where corporations do basically whatever they want? Maybe start in your own home before you start telling other countries to "back off"?

Case studies
In 2004, a 44-year-old male was treated with the antibiotics clavulanic acid and amoxicillin for an unrelated condition. Eight days after being discharged, he returned to the emergency room with abdominal pain and belching and was in a state of confusion. An esophagogastroscopy showed the presence of S. cerevisiae and C. albicans in his gastric fluid, causing endogenous ethanol production.

I've been taking these medications lately, thanks for the paranoia!

Dead horse strategies

async/await tasks can be run in parallel on multiple threads, usually no more threads than there are hardware threads. This allows using the full capabilities of the machine, not just one core's worth. In a server environment with languages that support async/await but don't have the ability to execute on multiple cores like Node.js and Python, this is usually done by spawning many duplicate processes and distributing incoming connections round-robin between them.
If there is competition offering ad-free services, this would be an option. But for large parts, there isn't.
Also make sure that the data lines do not have over-voltages then (level-shifters on these?).
> The visual aspect makes me wonder if the LSD experience in people with aphantasia is substantially different?

I'd love to tell you, but I don't know how people without aphantasia experience LSD. What I do know is that my inner experience is only (mostly) blind; it has fully developed senses of hearing, touch, smell and taste. I get visual distortions, apparently within normal parameters. Thus far in the few experiences I've had with synesthesia, it's never involved my sense of sight.
Agreed pipx solves a lot of packaging issues with no downside to speak of. Not just with poetry but also for tools like virtualenv, ruff and black and non-dev command line tools.
> The concept was formulated in 2016 by Martin Sústrik (creator of ZeroMQ) with his C library libdill, with goroutines as a starting point.

It's fairly new; the thing (and I think you address it too) is that the pattern did not exist yet when Go was introduced. Go is averse to adding more things to its standard library, or indeed changing its core fundamentals; I think it's better to have one well-defined way of doing things in a language, instead of adding the mental overhead of deciding between one or the other.

And I doubt Go will remove support for their original concurrency, like, ever. I'd love to see forks of Go made with core elements (like concurrency) swapped out though.
Here's all the project boilerplate you need with pyenv when working on a new project.

and you're done. Not really sure what you might consider difficult about pyenv, but it's just a tool to instigate your python venvs which is a built tool for most modern versions of python.

It would still achieve the primary goal.
The onus when working on an existing project is for new collaborators to understand how to work effectively with the existing norms, not for project operators to contort themselves into whatever chimera is expected of them by drive-by patchmakers.
On average, an hour of speech contains about 9,000 to 15,000 words. This range accounts for different speaking speeds, which typically vary from 150 to 250 words per minute.

Preemptive is safer for liveliness since it avoids 'starvation' (one task's poll taking too long), however it in practice almost always more expensive in memory and time due to the implicit state.

In async, only the values required to do a poll need to be held (often only references), while for threads the entire stack & registers needs to be stored at all times, since at any moment it could be interrupted and it will need to know where to continue from. And since it needs to save/overwrite all registers at each context switch (+ scheduler/kernel handling), it takes more time overall.

In general threads are a good option if you can afford the overhead, but assuming threads as a default can significantly hinder performance (or make near impossible to even run) where Rust needs to.
On a perfect afternoon in September, I walked alone through the park to find the church.

One moment, only trees. The next, La Sagrada Familia.

To stand there, before the century of brilliance and determination that combined to create this mass of stone and glass, on the edge between nature and society, and see, and sense that I too am seen, was one of the great privileges of my life.

To Gaudí, and his countless collaborators…thank you.

The cloud services of the Smart Home/Care products must therefore be discontinued as of 29 March 2024. Continuation is not possible under insolvency law. As a result, the apps for the Smart Home/Care products and the networked sensors and devices will no longer be usable. If you have booked camera service packages, these will also end on 29 March 2024 at the latest. With regard to any existing contractual relationships, non-fulfilment is selected.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to return the devices. Instead, we recommend that you dispose of the devices in an environmentally friendly manner at a recycling centre near you.

It would be interesting to know if there were ways regulation could promote new competitor businesses, instead of handicapping Apple.

It seems to me that in a healthier marketplace, Apple could argue that consumers were choosing them because their practices result in a better product. But in a duopoly (as with smartphone OSes), the argument rings hollow.

It will be interesting to see where the courts rule, and where we decide the line between integration-for-better-UX and monopoly-enforcement is. I do wonder if that line would appear different if there were more competitors, and if there are additional, or creative ways that new competitors could be promoted.
