I've taken the overnight train from Edinburgh to London. It arrives early morning but you could stay in the train for several hours while it was in the station. Quite comfortable.

On the other hand, I took an overnight train from Wuhan to Beijing. It was crowded, the cars not so modern, and I didn't sleep all that well. The high speed rail train between those two cities was a much shorter and better experience.
For years I’ve wanted a FOSS macOS clone, but in recent years my interest has shifted away from that and toward what inspired NeXT (and the Mac) in the first place: the Smalltalk environment. I’ve dug down deep rabbit holes exploring Smalltalk, Lisp machines (particularly the Symbolics Genera and Xerox Interlisp-D environments), HyperCard, Apple’s Lisp-inspired work in the 1990s (Dylan, SK8), and the OpenDoc component-based software framework.

My dream OS would be something with malleable, component-based underpinnings (like a Lisp machine or the Smalltalk environment, but with everything we’ve learned about security, type systems, parallelism, and other concerns since the 1980s when Lisp machines and Smalltalk were in vogue), extensive support for programmability (everything is an object), and with an interface inspired by Mac OS 8 (I love Tiger, but from an interface point of view I prefer the classic Mac OS more). Unfortunately my free time is limited, so I haven’t done much work at all, but it hasn’t stopped me from dreaming and writing a few occasional documents.
> I started using Apple Reminders for all my todos.

Read: I was forced to use apple reminders for all my TODOs because Apple Watch can only talk to Siri.
There is a huge difference between defending a patent in a free market and regulatory capture mandating a product.

The patent system is not very compatible with highly regulated markets, it changes the game from choosing to buy something innovative to a non-voluntary overreach.
We'll find out after the MS Surface + Qualcomm (ex-Nuvia) launch in late May.

Windows 2000, 2003, and XP still used a lot of the install components from earlier NT versions. Vista was the first incarnation of the "modern" Windows setup that we still use today.

PE was built using XP but the XP installer was mostly the NT installer (text mode then Mini-Windows).
That's clearly a false analysis - the size of a commodity market is determined as much by the equilibrium cost of making the goods as it is by the demand side. The cost of banning an inexpensive but essential part of your car would be far greater than the total number of dollars changing hands every year to purchase them.
If your program integrates with mysql in production, you can use this for much faster local tests. It doesn't have to be a go program, although that makes it easier.
StopSaw makes these. The saws, tables, and fasteners are beefy enough to survive.
> Is there any reason Windows couldn't add an equivalent of execvpe for arguments and environment to be passed as arrays, which newer programs could then use directly?

I fail to see how this would help. If i understand correctly, the issue is how cmd.exe interprets the args, not how the args get to it.
Correction to my post: apparently SawStop already got bought. It is owned by TTS Tooltechnic Systems which also owns Festool.
I've been using Postal Server for 2 years ( https://docs.postalserver.io/ ) sending around 50k emails / day without any issue.

Just make sure you set up everything (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) correctly, including the PTR reverse lookup of your server ( really important ).

Key tip: warm up your ip(s). I use mailreach.co ( it has a USD 25/m cost ), reached near 100% deliverability in a month.

I now have barely have any maintenance to do. It just works.
Capacitive touchscreens are tricky. You want them to be sensitive enough to work quickly when touched, and sometimes through gloves or when wet. But if they're too sensitive, or don't recalibrate well to dynamic conditions, you start to get false touches.

Another root cause is usually a noisy ground from a power supply, but I would hazard a guess that's not a problem for a standalone watch.
Definitely a solid option. From what I understand it's not perfect for messaging (based on reviews like this https://thesweetsetup.com/mindfulness-monday-light-phone-rev...), but I haven't tried it myself. The Apple Watch seemingly would be worse for typing messages, but as I mentioned the voice dictation is surprisingly accurate now - I've been able to send lengthy messages with ease. Still, the Light Phone can be the better choice depending on your needs!
I love Beyond All Reason, it really has the early 2000's gaming vibe I miss where people use text chat in game instead of voice chat. The community likes their 8v8's, the community is moderated well, and the engine is solid even though there is practically no unit cap.
I’ve never heard of PostHog and from “Side Project Insurance” I thought this was some form of super cheap E&O insurance which sounded like a neat idea.
A US based Masters is very helpful for immigration, if the OP is interested in working for US companies in the US.

A Masters in comp sci/eng may make sense for someone with an unrelated Bachelors. Otherwise, I agree. There are some employers who prefer candidates with PhD and grudgingly accept Masters, and really grudgingly accept Bachelors... But based on my experience with colleagues with PhD, I really don't want to work there (I've got a BS CE).
OP likely missed typing the 'r' -- or was the victim of autocorrect :)
Upon further review... I think any actual base board schematics / pinouts touching the Nvidia hardware directly is indeed kept behind some sort of NDA or OEM license agreement and is specifically kept out of any of those documents for the Open Compute project JBOG rigs.

I think this is literally the impetus for their OAM spec which makes the pinout open and shareable. Up until that, they had to keep the actual designs of the baseboards out of the public due to that part being still controlled Nvidia IP.
Well, I wouldn't pick the RC Cola of UIs. I'd pick the original.
Suatained deficits of significant imbalance is unsustainable. Interest rates further exasperate that flaw in the system.
> most people can't afford cars

And it's changing rapidly. Financing is much easier and salaries have grown significantly.

30 years ago, your only choices for a car were a Maruti Suzuki 800 or an Ambassador.

20 years ago car financing started in India, and multiple private sector car manufacturers like Hyundai, Toyota, Renault, etc entered the market.

And over the past 15 years car ownership has grown from around 90 million cars to 330 million cars.

As India grows richer, people buy cars.

> where would you park them

Congested street parking. Most Indian cities have some amount of space. They aren't all tiny alleys that can barely fit people

Look. India and developing countries aren't Western Europe.

A 2 wheeler or 3 wheeler isn't seen as prestigious - a car is the aspirational image of the middle class. Doesn't matter if it's India, Vietnam, or Indonesia - this is the mentality.

What's with the gora poverty backchodi.
That's the problem with increasing fragmentation as an n+1 of the same thing and trying to do everything yourself rather than delegating and scaling effort and expertise via crowdsourcing and outsourcing through plugin maintainers.

An "opposite" of the Atom approach appears to be an extreme overreaction (rather than a sensible middle way) and fails to solve the problems it brought: a slow, wasteful platform and a tradition of abandoned, fragmented plugins (also a problem with Vim/neovim, emacs, VSCode, and JetBrains).

A balance would be a curated plugin marketplace requiring quality, continuing maintenance, and support. Atom, VSCode, and JetBrains have some curation, but not enough. I don't know how to solve this other than to charge end users subscription fees and pay people for their efforts.

Also, that brings up the problem of monetization. A number of plugin authors insist on trial, freemium, or paid-only plugins because it's not a spare time hobby for them. Lacking monetization, some plugins won't ever be created.

So I don't see how zed will solve any problem other that being art as wonderful technology applied to a tough, busy, competitive category without enough unique, competitive advantages to self-reinforce increased adoption. As such, it seems unlikely to ever morph into a complete and useful IDE to uniformly support every development niche. Even now, I have difficulty finding a usable Haskell IDE with commercial providers such as VSCode or JetBrains to wonder if zed will somehow manage to be better than any of them and/or vim.

TL;DR: I think Zed project leaders were overly ambitious, unrealistic, and failed to anticipate the endgame.
> None of them wanted it at any price

Do we actually know this? Or could the license terms have just been too high?
Unlike the author of this article I have had success with RAGatouille. It was my main tool when I was limited on resources and working with non Romanized languages that don't follow the usual token rules (spaces, periods, line breaks, triplet word groups, etc). However, I have had to move past RAGatouille and use embedding + vector DB for a more portable solution.
what was the original meaning of lambda?
Everyone uses heuristics to save time and attention.

In theory, being published in a top journal means multiple specialists in the subject matter reviewed the paper and therefore it's more trustworthy than a random authority's assertion.
This would be modern version of Steampunk :)
Each side has unique experimental units, not sure what you mean by that. But, as you say, there are 2 factions to play instead of the 4 you'd find in SupCom. A 3rd faction is being worked on though and can be used in multiplayer, but it's beta quality.
Just accept it, smile, nod, and deny the existence of the router, lathe, bandsaw, angle grinder with a circular blade on it etc. Chainsaws are probably next up against the wall though since they're pretty well represented in low-effort horror media
I bet they’ll bump you up in the queue if you buy some sweet sweet PTUs
What is toxic about their behavior? It seems like they genuinely invented the mousetrap for this particular type of mouse and wanting to be paid for that invention seems commercial rather than inherently toxic.
What if this is the basis of "magic"? The secret power of curses that were burnt or cast into a lake or cave that "worked" by diminishing the anger in the caster rather than cursing the target.
10.4 has been out for about a month. You should check your watch is able to update when you’re charging it.

Scary bug.
Seatbelts are a legal requirement because my car insurance would have to pay for your medical bills if not wearing a seatbelt turned my failure to stop from a minor accident into a serious head injury. In other words, your lack of a seatbelt affects my liability. There is no analogy between that and safety devices for uninsured activities carried out alone, in our own homes.
Ok but why would he just “give” them? Patents can cost like $20k a pop to prosecute.
Blade guards are the first thing removed in a commercial environment, and probably by a good number of hobbyists who think they'll get in the way. They also can make accurate cuts difficult to align since they partially obscure the blade.
How do you keep something like this up to date? Not like you could scrape it from somewhere…
The law literally makes it illegal. No matter what you think. It’s in the tiny text of the law.

MS got hit. Apple is going to. Google should be too, but I doubt it will happen.

(I’d argue giving away Android is dumping and requiring Play is bundling, but that’s another rant)
When panels are cheap enough, it becomes cheaper to lay them out inefficiently to massively reduce installation and maintenance and land cost:

Wrong kind of vet.
I don't think personal attacks are helping your case, Teddy.
Just because you're afraid of woodworking doesn't mean you should kill it for everyone. If this passes only professionals will be able to continue, which presumably is what the lobbyists want.

It's no different to Apple insisting that only they should repair Apple products, and hobbyists should be trusted.
Habana was an acquisition and their use of TSMC predates the acquisition.
I’m not saying that’s the only reason. Yes it was way better than IE. And FF of the time.

The definition of anti-competitive behavior doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter if 100% of people switched because it’s better and their friends told them and not a single one did it because of the ads. The ads were still illegal.
I somewhat agree… but the force of nostalgia surely is slightly biasing, don’t you think?
Why reframe the topic to something irrelevant? What the standard started out as is not what it ended as.

The final result is the only thing that matters.
The browser is a great for distribution (apps are just URLs) and security (web pages need to ask permission before accessing anything on your computer outside of their domain).

More people should question the common belief that desktop OSes (without enforced app sandboxing) do a proper job at being a platform for utilities like OP's. When you download and run an .exe on a normal Windows pc, you're giving it read and write access to everything on your user account. It's bad that you're required to put so much trust in developers to run programs on typical desktop systems; this either ends up causing people to be extremely picky about what they run or to give out trust too freely and get bitten by malware often. Platforms like the browser which sandbox (web) apps and enforce a granular permission system are terrific.
One can always object that correlation doesn't equal causation. They talk in the article about controlling for certain variables as best one can. You don't get to run double-blind experiments on societies, but as they say in the article, this is about as close as one gets. Your idea about the web is certainly interesting, and could be explored further, but it doesn't strongly account for why a specific age group is effected and why areas with higher abortion access are more effected while low access areas are less effected. Etc. Etc.

Taken as a whole, the data do seem to make a strong case for their theory.
For like half of 14nm intel era, there was no competition on CPU market in any segment for them. Intel was able to improve their 14nm process and be better at branch prediction. Moving things to hardware implementation is what kept improving.

This isn't the same as getting more out of the same over and over again.
A good description of the current state of society if I’ve ever heard one.
Do the Gatekeeper regulations not also apply to Google as well? I'm confused.

Is there a website people can link doctors to?
Haha, true - this entire experiment works best if you fully commit to the Apple ecosystem, including apps. I know of Apple power users who use more powerful third party apps for TODOs, but still use Reminders for a portion of their TODOs just because it integrates best with Siri.

It's definitely unfortunate that Siri isn't as powerful with third party apps, that's what led me to try and stick with Apple's default apps as much as possible. So far it's worked well for me, I'm not too opinionated when it comes to a TODO app, but it may be less than ideal for others.
As I slowly dig myself out of a little burn-out rut, I am trying to develop this sort of reaction as a habit.
You are one lucky person and I envy you.
In my experience, it’s extremely difficult to get out of the SES sandbox, for what I presume is if your account/org is under a certain amount of spend with them. While basically free under a certain amount of usage, the gatekeeping there does make the idea of self-hosting your email free/cheaply sort of a nonstarter for indie devs.

For context, getting out of the sandbox at every org I worked at was essentially a single ticket with the word please and had almost immediate approval.

For my own account for a low volume form notification tool I wrote AWS’s response was ‘We will not approve your request and we will not revisit this decision’.
This isn't the case in most countries, seatbelts did become a legal requirement though.
What a treasure, I just remembered this was one of my first interaction with a commodore 64. Engineer friend of my father was trying (and succeeding) at triggering my 8yrs old curiosity. I was seriously impressed as he showed me the screen vs the sky. Looking at this with my adult eyes today, I am even more impressed at the render and tech behind that piece of software.
The Federal government should start paying companies like this a hefty lump sum and take the patents by eminent domain. Same for drug patents.
Teenagers are using more VR devices in the US
Boy did they ever get hell when they left the 30-pin connector. I could easily see them wanting to avoid that whole mess again.

Honestly I am still blown away that the switch last year to USB-C was met with some positivity (often from tech people) and a bunch of ’meh’. I was expecting tons of screaming and “Apple’s making you buy all your cables again to juice their books!”
Iron and steel? Of course not, go get a cold saw for that. But it's no problem and very common to cut soft stuff like aluminum and copper on a table saw.
I absolutely love the Isys Information Architects Inc. pages on UI, especially the Hall of Shame/Fame. They're a bit of a time capsule, but it honestly makes me think that it's not just pointless cynicism, UI design really has very long ago lost track of what matters. I can relate to a vast majority of the thoughts, even if I think we could do better now, if we tried.

http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/index.htm

I feel like the style of the UI, though dated, helps a lot: the borders and hierarchy force you to think about how UI components are related, not just where they are on screen. Unlike, e.g. modern Firefox tabs, which just feel like weird floating text with arbitrary ugly borders that never seem to feel less alien no matter how long you use them. They're not literally unusable... but they're not particularly good, especially compared to what we had before.

This gives me hope for projects like SerenityOS. A bit of oldschool UI design with some modern amenities. In theory, this seems like a good idea.
It seems to say that under some circumstances a phone will report its location (indirectly over an e2e encrypted network) to the owner of a bluetooth device that's in range of the phone.

It doesn't say that the phone is constantly polling the location to do so. Now, your paraphrase is compatible with that text, so it's possible that it's indeed how it works. But there are other equally consistent options, e.g. that the phone only reports bt device locations in when it already has a fine-grained location available anyway for other reasons. The latter kind of seems more likely to me (to minimize the impact on battery usage for users participating int he network), but in reality we don't know which of these two schemes (or some other one) is used. And since we don't know, it seems like bad form to just make up an interpretation and claim that it's what the article says.

And either way, the article also does not claim or imply that the security of the system relies on this "constant polling", which is how you paraphrased the article.

The popularity of Starcraft confused me until I realized it was a really a "user interface game" rather than a strategy game. I mean, Starcraft 2 is still a strategy game, but if you were to propose changing the UI to enable more strategy, they wouldn't do that. The UI is the game, and once I understood that I understood Starcraft players better and was able to appreciate the game better.

It's hard for anyone to do a better Starcraft because it's a UI game based in technology of the time. We aren't going to get better at traditional computer screens with a fixed aspect ratio and a mouse. That is Stracraft.

Also, you mentioned Homeworld, and Homeworld 3 will be out in a few months.
Seatbelts is a good example: Volvo let any one use 3 point seatbelts so this could be standardised.
For me it was the top window gradient. I think in win98 it was 256 colors and in windows 2000 it was 16-bit
Toyota did this in the US and it has been rightfully, wildly successful for them.
Oh, do tell! What is the method?
Are its outputs in the "ChatGPT style" due to fine-tuning? It does seem to use a specific style that would be relatively uncommon in the data it was trained on, but it might be overrepresented in fine-tuning data.
When I zoom out, I wonder who you do it for, and indeed I come to the conclusion there is so much hatred in this world (including in and around Amsterdam), where people would be better off with giving each other love and attention while alive. There's also people who like solitude.

Whereas for the person doing this, it is a (hopefully fun) hobby, and totally within their right to do so. But to say they do it for others? No. After all, nobody notices, there is no meaningful impact whatsoever. Which, to be honest, is a sad realization.

You see, the last funeral I went to, was a good friend of my mother. We had to travel throughout the country. I didn't see her much past years, and she wasn't a friend of mine, but I liked her. Why did I go? To support my mother, and because she was a kind person as far as I knew her, and to support the family (her kids especially). In a lone funeral though, none of these factors apply.

There's another aspect when I zoom out: why funeral? Why not a different way to leave earth? There are much less impactful methods. Especially Amsterdam is a crowded city. The friend of my mother, for example, went to a natuurbegrafenis (natural burial?) which fits her character very much. It was beautiful.
The common theme is that when the blades catch the wood and the hand is gripping it, the hand tries to follow the wood. If you get very unlucky the wood escapes about the time your hand is nearing the blade and momentum carries you in. For routing tables it’s the curved pieces that’ll get ya. Snag, spin, bzzzt.

I believe my instructor suggested but didn’t mandate a two pusher technique with the jointer, where the left hand pushes the wood against the back plate and forward while the right helps stabilize. Less pressure on the hand with a vector toward the blade. Seemed safer to me.
Intel is good for desktops and servers, especially when motivated by AMD competition, but fell short in mobile due to poor battery life. They invested billions to crack the mobile and 5G modem markets, but sadly failed to provide meaningful competition. Apple took over the Intel 5G modem team, but Apple's replacement for Qualcomm's 5G modem has been repeatedly delayed.

Qualcomm has a $30B+ pipeline in the growing vehicle market, they don't need to squeeze the declining laptop CPU sector. They can sell overpriced modems in PC laptops/tablets. The next hardware market is dedicated "AI" silicon, with Microsoft's "AI PC" roadmap requiring 40 TOPS on client devices, which Qualcomm is eager to provide and conveniently aligns with their automotive pipeline.
Give SawStop $10B and seize the patents under eminent domain.
I hear that “the future is hybrid” talking point a lot lately and I think that means Toyota is successfully controlling the narrative, but that’s not the “future”, it’s the present. Hybrids just don’t benefit enough from Wright’s law to stay cost-competitive for long. Charging infrastructure will catch up, because charging infrastructure is cheap
