The best resource for me on IMDb is definitely just the lists of "Top 250 Movies of all Time"[1] or the "Top 50 $GENRE Movies of All Time" [2].

@OP: Maybe just finding a way to curate the most popular open source libraries into lists per language, framework, etc would be helpful? For example, for me I'm not particularly interested in all open source projects, but I'm really interested in Django stuff. Hence why I love looking at the awesome-django curated list [3]. Maybe an application to just rank all packages for a given ecosystem? Just spitballing.

> But instead, we focus on the far less feasible "how can we stop people from using so much post-industrial technology?"

That's a strawman. I assume you're taking about degrowth loons on social media. Why would you do that?

In the real world, policymakers and center-left political parties (and center-right parties outside of the US) do not want people to stop using technology.

What policymakers are trying to do is shift from one technology (oil and gas) to another technology (firmed renewables or nuclear).

The reason for this is to maximize human flourishing by preventing wet bulb temperatures near the equator from becoming too large relative to the 31-35 degree survivability limit, among other consequences which you can read about elsewhere.
To Google, HTTPS was at 48% adoption in 2014. [0] This is 14 years after its initial specification (RFC 2818), even longer if you take Netscape into account. And this is despite the fact that HTTPS is completely done in software, which typically gets updated more often than hardware.

I stand by my assessment that 45% adoption after 12 years is actually pretty good.

(I use Google's data for both HTTPS and IPv6 stats. If you consider 3rd party data, HTTPS adoption is way worse, even to this day it hasn't topped 75%.)

Alternatively, the Miyoo Mini+.

Costs less then the shipping of an Analogue Pocket to the UK /Europe (when you add the import tax+fees to the excessive shipping cost) and gives a decent pocket-sized gaming nostalgia hit.

Another alternative is to upgrade a real GBA or GBA, there's IPS screen kits, replacement shells, and modern rechargeable battery packs available now. Also for less than the shipping of an Analogue Pocket, if you've got a device to upgrade.

The Analogue Pocket was unobtanium for so many years that relatively inexpensive alternatives appeared. And while FPGA gaming is great to reduce input lag or to output to a CRT, the benefits are less obvious on a small handheld.

Yeah, I wonder how the EU will deal with people who use that law to hide evidence of their misdeeds...

There some people who I've only tangentially heard about who, while not being charged with anything, definitely left a trail of broken promises, messes, blathering, whining, and excuses in their wake. Not that such people usually get called out by name in a blog post, but when they say "X is true" online and then someone else proves them wrong, I'd hope they can't use that law to just sweep their foolishness under the rug each time.

Some people need to have such things remembered, so others have an objective historical record, rather than only having subjective bluster to listen to.

What north american education systems need to address is that their current design is about funneling workers into factories. It's about memorizing procedures perfectly and no room for self-thought. About complete obedience and attendance, etc. This isn't compatible with modern jobs and results in a great deal of mental health issues.

And while there's some move toward bringing factory jobs back to north america, we have largely speaking moved on from this.

I take physics as an example. In real life, you are discouraged from using your memory. You are obligated to verify and look up equations and various standard numbers. Yet our schools want you to memorize some unmemorizable formula.

Flipside, in real life, if you got 55% of your work correct. You would be fired from your job rapidly.

The obvious first step is that you should be allowed to reference anything, especially the text book, but nearperfection of answers should be necessary.

I also consider the invention of videos and the internet. Why is society paying an army worth of teachers to teach the same thing over and over. Why wouldn't we have some sort of system where kids are watching standardized tremendously high standard educational videos that very few teachers have the skill to meet. Instead teachers can instead be answers and personalized education. So they dont waste their time teaching pythagorean theorem 50+ times in the career. Instead some video does that, and they instead get to actually teach and be there for their students?

>Not all individual students created equal, but all races/genders/ethnicities/socioeconomic classes/etc. created equal in the classroom! This is the perspective that says that the goal is to ensure proportional representation across different demographic groups

But also the practical reality that good teachers are going to stay in good neighbourhoods. Which the student isnt even what matters so much but rather the inability to have some sort of quality education because of the lack of practical talent. Whereas there could be highest quality teachers who produce videos who teach the core of education and the in classroom teacher is about making the education that much better. responding to actual individual questions.

But imagine as well. We could also later after producing that 1 high quality video for pythagorean. Eventually the curriculum is filled out with quality videos. All of these videos could be make public and free. These high quality acting teachers could then move onto more advanced topics and compete against the MIT open courseware type videos. We could end up in a situation where the public education system doesnt have some age where you stop learning. Obviously im basically describing youtube at this point.

No, that's pretty much exactly where I am with this as well. There are two classes of people in this world, those who sell their labor to live and those who live off the labor of others, neither because of their ingenuity or efficiency or lack thereof but the circumstances of their birth. The latter gets to enjoy all that the world has to offer at a baseline, and the former gets a taste of it when the latter deems it appropriate. This goes far beyond embezzlers and embezzlees, it's baked into the social contract itself.

To counter your points (all valid):

- I did discover interesting movies on IMDB. It was more by chance though, while looking up info on known movies.

- Popularity of a piece of OSS may be important when choosing to use it for an org. Something alive and widely used has better chances of survival in the future, and/or speed of reaction to security incidents.

That said, I agree that IMDB is not what I'd like the directory of OSS to resemble. I'd rather go after imitating tvtropes.
I both A) don't believe you at all (would you rather shop somewhere you can easily find and access the product you're looking for, or where you have to track down an employee to dig through the clutter to find each item?) and B) feel we should note that Walmart's "ideal shopping experience" is not the same as the customer's. They want you (in the amalgamated, averaged sense) to traverse the store in a certain way, to select the right items, to be enticed to buy the other right items, and to leave without encountering so much friction that you decide to go to Target next time; those subtler effects are absolutely affected by organization and aesthetics.

You're complaining that Apple sell a laptop with specs you don't want, while they sell a laptop that does have the specs you want.

Utter nonsense.

I think you just want something to complain about.
The 1960s supply chain isn't there anymore. Where are you going to find, for example, asbestos insulation? No single company can take that all on. It would require coordination across much of the entire population.

Perhaps housing is important enough to see the people do that. But even if you could somehow faithfully recreate the entire supply chain, the house won't be up to code. That 100-billion dollar company is going to spend all that money in the courts. Why bother?

Okay, sure, if the people can come together to recreate the supply chain they can also change the code. But then who actually wants to live in a 1960s home? Even the homes actually built in 1960 that are still standing, which is generally going to be those that were built to a higher standard, have been upgraded to modern standards, at significant cost, over the years because nobody actually wants to subject themselves to the 1960s.

And even if you could build the perfectly equivalent house with modern supplies and people actually wanted to live in them, there is still that pesky labour cost, which is a significant portion of the building cost. Yes, the median income of a full-time male in 1960 is almost exactly the same as the median income of a full-time male today, but the median income of the population at large doesn't tell the story of those building houses. Someone who would have worked on a job site in the 1960s is more likely to work in something like a restaurant today. As a result, of those who still are willing to build houses, you have to pay a lot more to get them to show up. "The trades are where the money is now" may have become somewhat of a meme, but there is also a kernel of truth to it.

Now, a business that can make modern houses less valuable will be on to something. That's a 100-billion dollar company. But also a hard problem to solve.

How to use SwiftData outside SwiftUI
It was my understanding that Autism was more or less that the neurons in the brain expanded further than they could support and the parts that weren't supported atrophied, kinda like a tree that overgrew, think what happens to a fruit tree that isn't pruned. Everyone's brain does some growth and pruning as needed, but something happens with autism that more or less it goes too far and then the parts that atrophy are less controlled than an average brain. This is why savants etc.

This process could express completely different in people that were more or less the same genetically, just one day in a womb where they got different amounts of nutrition could cause differences to manifest, then a lifetime of small differences would further manifest differently.

A lot of growing pains for sure. We've gone from "you have to find the cable which fits the port, and if you don't, you're out of luck" to "grab one of the 'universal cables' and see what happens when you plug it in".

Although in practice I find it pretty easy to pick out power-only UBC-C, USB-only USB-C, and Thunderbolt USB-C, by the build quality/thickness of the cable. What's aggravating is devices (cheap ones) which use the USB-C port but will only charge from an OG 500mA charger. I keep those chargers in rotation as a result, but they're useless for any other purpose.
Appreciate the look and feedback!

> Also, it's a pretty big red flag - for me, personally - when a site promises that I can export my data, but requires me to request it via email rather than having a straightforward automated process that will provide me an export in an exact, known format. Put simply: if you haven't figured out how to automate data export (even with many complex options), then I don't have much faith in you to do other stuff with the care I would expect.

We let you export any and all data automatically from our API (via Search or Get Users), the only data we don't allow you to export by default is password hashes. Anything else you can pull at any time.

We require a human-in-the-loop process there so we can ensure out of band that the request is valid and not coming from compromised API keys etc. I'm not sure if there are any auth services that would provide an automated way to dump password hashes, I'd be nervous if there were given the security concerns.

Honestly I’d go to something like this if I could bring my own projects and during the course of this workshop get real time help from the expert when I have questions.

No noobs allowed. You must be experienced and bring something you’re actively working on that is commercially viable (not some side project).

For example I work with some hairy Postgres stuff. I’d love a day with people who are god tier in regards to their Postgres knowledge and databases in general to help me with my specific questions.

I don’t want to be in the room with bootcamp devs or people who don’t know sql or some lame shit like that. I want to be in a room of experts who want to interface with a god tier expert and learn.

I’d also find it cool to be with other pros and learn what problems they’re facing or solving.
Cool project. Care to share some more context? Who are the little guys?
yep this is what I meant. hallucinating, justifying or missing bad stuff.

additionally, similar to how large PRs are more likely to just be skimmed and replied with a "LGTM!", an LLM missing some bad stuff but still producing a seemingly thorough review would increase the chance of the bad stuff making its way in.

allowing LLMs to write code would be fine if its truly verified by a human, but let another LLM hallucinate and cloud a persons judgement and you've got a problem
Aren't there wiretapping laws that make recording conversations in certain situations illegal? I love the idea of this type of technology but it seems tricky to deploy from a moral and legal perspective.
It's unlikely you wouldn't have noticed this if it were the case but my nose tends to block too by some reason if I lay on my back. What I observed though is that if I lay on a side, there's some mysterious movement about where the sinuses are and one nostril gets unblocked, I think the one facing up (not touching the pillow). If I switch sides, the blocked and unblocked nostrils switch places. So oftentimes I breathe though just one nostril but still beats breathing through the mouth.

The patch[0] in question:

Commit d96c36004e31 ("tracing: Fix FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION_SIZE Kconfig
entry") removed a hidden tab because it apparently showed breakage in
some third-party kernel config parsing tool.

It wasn't clear what tool it was, but let's make sure it gets fixed.
Because if you can't parse tabs as whitespace, you should not be parsing
the kernel Kconfig files.

In fact, let's make such breakage more obvious than some esoteric ftrace
record size option. If you can't parse tabs, you can't have page sizes.

Yes, tab-vs-space confusion is sadly a traditional Unix thing, and
'make' is famous for being broken in this regard. But no, that does not
mean that it's ok.

I'd add more random tabs to our Kconfig files, but I don't want to make
things uglier than necessary. But it might bbe necessary if it turns
out we see more of this kind of silly tooling.

> There are already so many ways to defeat locks, that locks are just there to keep honest people honest and to slow down criminals.

Yeah, I'm currently waiting on parts to replace my door handle. As far as I can tell, the would-be thieves snapped off the handle to make an opening, and used that to cut/snap the rear part of the lock (which normally can't turn because of the lock cylinder) and then substituted in a screwdriver to convince the car that the lock had turned.

Thankfully--and puzzlingly--they were unprepared for the steering-wheel lock and only managed to mangle and bend it (probably with a small bolt-cutter) before they gave up or were spooked off.

'Course, after that they would have still been unable to start the car for other reasons, but it still saved me the cost of fixing a torn-up ignition.

I think I found myself in this situation believing it was "generally good." Both for me to learn more things, and for the company to succeed. Then I would be rewarded with promotions in the future. Although I had fun and felt some purpose, the fast career growth did not follow.

I was in the mindset to follow Sheryl Sandberg's advice “If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat.” But what ended up happening was the people who knew how to ask for better seats actually got them.
