Each to their own - if the ribbon works for you, that's great.

I'm not the poster you are replying to, but my problem with the ribbon is that it's just so much harder to remember where things are than a traditional hierarchy of menus. I think it's that items can change their horizontal position (based on context), and also that the combination of icons and text is harder to internalise than just text (I also dislike icons in menus too). Plus, sometimes the thing you want is in the overflow area (chevron), so you do have to 'open the drawers' to find things if you don't know whether they are in this part of the ribbon or somewhere else.
Thanks, that was a lot of insight, I appreciate it. Congrats for finding and executing a profitable strategy.

But there isn't just one to develop for... There's over half a dozen loosely connected design patterns over time. You have win32, the office/win 2k expansions, the modern ribbon, winui, winforms over win32, and now fluent, and Maui. All depending on what you're writing in and targeting.

It's not significantly better and combined with Mac and Linux a large reason many apps are using a skinned browser engine. You get better developer ergonomics for scaling, languages, screen readers, general accessibility and portability over many dedicated UI component libraries.

MAUI could have seen massive adoption with a Linux target (even if just gtk). It's not the biggest in terms of users, but it's become very large in terms of developer mindshare. Without it, it's an also ran.

I'm not a fan of gtk or QT. I don't really care for the shortcomings of most options at this point. Everything kinda sucks. Skia may gain traction and patch the missing pieces, but who knows.

Right now, when is the only mostly safe option for cross platform general desktop apps. Which is weird.

The most straightforward reason is that if you need a transactional database anyway, then moving the queue into the DB allows you to atomically en/dequeue messages at the same time as making other updates. Which can massively simplify your architecture because it eliminates an enormous category of possible failure modes. (Or it can massively improve your system correctness, if you didn't realize those failure modes were possible.)
I am a great admirer of Tyler’s but he often does too much thinking and too little feeling, particularly in the context of art.
Forwarding isn't unlimited, though, as I understand it. The CPU has limited-size queues and buffers through which reordering, forwarding, etc. can happen. So I wouldn't be surprised if using registers well takes pressure off of that machinery and ensures that it works as you expect for the data that isn't in registers.

(Looked around randomly to find example data for this) https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/11/08/amds-zen-4-part-2-memo... claims that Zen 4's store queue only holds 64 entries, for example, and a 512-bit register store eats up two. I can imagine how an algorithm could fill that queue up by juggling enough data.
And remember that performance can include binary size, not just runtime speed. Current Rust seems to suffer in that regard for small platforms, calling convention could possibly help there wrt Result returns.

Totally agree. This is the first time I am seeing some real good competition to Midjourney and I hope this competition brings about some much needed updates on Midjourney too. I would love to see where this all leads. I agree about the real time image generation as you type, that is indeed cool.

This recent Atlantic article does a decent job at summarizing the argument: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/parenting-...

And these two books have good, if somewhat redundant surveys of the research:

- No Two Alike: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1099821

- Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10266902

The tl;dr is that if you fall into the cohort that could likely adopt a child, your parenting decisions aren’t going to make much of an impact, beyond affecting your kid’s memories of their childhood and their relationship with you. And that doesn’t mean parents should become apathetic, but that it’s better to care about expressing warmth and kindness instead of stressing about achievement.

If you're referring to the DMA, "remove these two apps from your store" is so much simpler (not to mention clearer) than that cluster, it's pointless to even compare the two situations.

The ribbon has a fixed height. All it's elements have the same height, so you can arrange them side by side. If you have a ribbon on the side, the elements would need to have a fixed width. If you look at an office ribbon, it's going to be tricky. Probably better to use a single icon width, something like a photoshop toolbar.

It seems like a lot of Firefox addons are not longer compatible with Seamonkey after Firefox changed their addon functionality and Seamonkey is still using a old Firefox version.
The old addon system was more powerful so I guess they kept it also for backwards compatibility of existing addons. But now the new addons won’t work and the old ones are old and probably not longer maintained.

Usually all email clients have a good web version nowadays which make the integrated email less interesting.

To make this project live again it would need to break backwards compatibility and adjust to the Firefox release cycle.

Overall it would be a good candidate to integrate with AI.

I looked into it at the beginning, but as far as I understand, the modern models like Mistral are difficult to do LoRA on - you can use it to finetune, but the model itself doesn't lend itself to such an operation.

Your experience is not perfectly transferable. JITs have it easy on this because they've already gathered a wealth of information about the actually-executing-on CPU by the time they generate a single line of assembly. Calls appear on the hot path more often in purely statically compiled code because things like the runtime architectural feature set are not known, so you often reach inlining barriers precisely in the code that you would most like to optimize.
I very much agree with that especially since - like you said - code that looks like it will perform well, not always does.

That being said I'd like to add that in my opinion performance measurement results should not be the only guiding principle.

You said it yourself: "Another reason is that the CPUs of today are optimized [..]"

The important word is "today". CPUs evolved and still do and a calling convention should be designed for the long term.

Sadly, it means that it is beneficial to not deviate too much from what C++ does [1], because it is likely that future processor optimizations will be targeted in that direction.

Apart from that it might be worthwhile to consider general principles that are not likely to change (e.g. conserve argument registers, as you mentioned), to make the calling convention robust and future proof.

[1] It feels a bit strange, when I say that because I think Rust has become a bit too conservative in recent years, when it comes to its weirdness budget (https://steveklabnik.com/writing/the-language-strangeness-bu...). You cannot be better without being different, after all.
It's awesome that this is still maintained. I'm curious what motivates the maintainers.
Tesla doesn't own X/Twitter though. Elon does. If I were a Tesla shareholder, I'd be mildly[0] irritated that Elon feels it's OK to take money out of "our" company to spend it on "his" company, even if there is some nominal benefit.

[0] the amounts are so tiny, I wouldn't really care. I'd be more angry that he thinks he can reasonably function as a full-time CEO for Tesla while gallivanting about with his other ventures.
Eh, homebrew is one of the best things macOS has going for it over Windows, even if it's not as nice as apt or XBPS or whatever.
This is good example of smart people being myopic. There is a type of person that loves Linux, macOS or Windows. The typical user of every one of the three platforms feels they are somehow "normal" and the other platforms are inferior.
Marvelous, certainly… unique, not necessarily. Some corvids appear capable of passing down skills (tool use) and memories (which humans have harmed previous generations), and just because we lack the ability to understand their stories doesn’t mean dogs, birds, and octopi aren’t passing down just as immense and marvelous communal knowledge via scent, sound, and touch.

As for the written word… I’d call that a running experiment. It’s capable of beauty, certainly… but it’s also capable of Meta (née Facebook) and X (née Twitter). Of course the fact that we can readily coin new terms for new situations — I hereby dub the use of X by its current owner _muskturbation_ — is intrinsically complex, but I’m not sure it isn’t also a direct pathway to both babble and Babble and, ultimately, species-ending atrocity.
I'm not an Apple user and while I've heard of homebrew, I've never used or even really looked at it. Out of curiosity, what do you not like about it?
I switched to MacPorts. Much faster and more stable.

Same boat. Everything you said resonates. I lost my farm after 12 years. They terminated my land license on baseless ‘weeds’ allegations AFTER I informed them that I wouldn’t be available for ten days after surgery and that was my recuperation period.

I was out till May 21 last year. I mowed down my field on May 26. They sent me license violation letter on June 7th. And the ‘weeds’..it was cover crop(mustard).

And all this was by a California PUBLIC agency called ACRCD. I can’t even go into the full details here. What happens when you fall ill? And you farm land you don’t own? It’s gnarly and it’s by design.

My dim opinion of public employees enjoying great powers to destroy lives for their casual amusement got dimmer and is flaming hot now. And not one lawyer wants to touch this. You can’t fight the govt is what some of them told me. It’s like a circle jerk.

But I am older and I have lived my life and I have done other things. But..they are stealing young people’s best and most productive years. They are encouraging people to crash and burn with lame platitudes and setting them up for failure.

This is not going to end well. Not by a long shot.

And don’t get me started on the state of ‘Agtech’.

I think I will shut down the farm business by the end of the year.

> When the goal is (in GP's words) "building that desire to make a change", you can never tell anything about progress towards your goal:

> All we can do when treating sociopaths is to release them into the world again and judge their actions, not their self-reported feelings.

What's the purpose here, to treat the condition of being a sociopath, or just to enforce enough structure on them that they don't cause other people harm?

My problem with what you said is that the entire idea of "sociopathy" is that a person lacks what the diagnoser considers to be "emotion" and is simply "pretending" to be a "normal" human by copying how they see other people behaving. That diagnosis isn't quantifiable in the first place; it's the diagnoser deciding they know what's happening in a patient's head by (guess what?) observing their words and actions.

Farther up-thread, people were arguing sociopaths should go to prison and not receive therapy (particularly if they say they don't want therapy, but more generally if they've committed a crime). You're now taking that farther by saying even if they express a desire to make change, that shouldn't be taken into account when determining any treatment/punishment, because that's only an observation of words coming out of their mouth-- but that's the same route they were diagnosed via in the first place, so I find that hypocritical.

If you're just saying criminals should be punished without regard for their mental health/conditions simply because their victims were victimized regardless, that's a valid utilitarian view. But realize (it at least sounds like) you're essentially arguing that therapy for mental conditions is generally impossible/pointless.
I’m not seeing any compelling points here.

Wants better package management because Homebrew is too complicated? Surely you could articulate why it’s not good?

But also wants multiple desktop environments and a very niche middle click macro?

2015: What Do You Think About Machines That Think?
Have you ever worked for a company that bought a software package that was so bad, you thought "who on earth would actually choose to buy this?" Chances are, the decision maker owns part of that company. It's considered a value-add because that said decision maker can put pressure on that company to make changes they want made, where if they went with another company they wouldn't have that inside leverage.
Ohh, this really is from 1910. And here I just thought the author was being obnoxiously cutesy with their language.
The problem isn't the lack of trust in authority and institutions. It's the lack of trust of or care for community, which is the ultimate wellspring of authentic institutions.

Institutions and authority figures come and go, often deservedly. But a people without a care for their community and its well-being will be in no position to put new and better institutions in their place, or to have a quality life generally.
Like what? Most of the suggestions in the article only would further confuse the user experience.

In fact, the "features" suggested by the author is the reason why non-tech folks still people don't care about Linux Desktops and want to get things done rather than to mess around and waste time playing around with their computer because of a silly desktop environment issue in the dotfiles.

Apple doesn't need to add "Different desktop environments", "Desktop Cubes" or "Snap or Flatpak" alternatives of alternative competing system implementations. Just sane defaults that just work without touching the command line.

Yup, that's exactly it.

I've always wondered if the almost universal preference for women to have long hair is linked with their ability to have long hair, while for males people (not you :) typically want it short, which matches what males are able to naturally do.

i.e. which came first? The ability for hair of a certain length, so that's what people like, or if people like hair a certain way so natural selection helps out.

I got it by asking for a story.
I think it just comes down to being one of the better off many bad options. There are too many streaming services now and people are cutting back after trying many.

In the end, Netflix is about the best at a constant stream of new content while having good usability and quality. It's not a run of garbage reality TV.

I think Amazon Prime Video runs a close second and mostly for the tie in with delivery service. Though I'm not sure how well that will hold with a lot of people. Delivery effectiveness has slipped, with extra charges for the fastest delivery and now there's ads.

YouTube has a lot of new media and think it likely does well enough for subscriptions with the music and family plan.

Everything else looks sucks. HBO Max has slipped on original content and movies. Paramount is really hot or miss and heaven help you if you run a pihole or similar. NBC/Universal is almost worse. Disney is slipping, even though they're bundled with everything. Hulu has way too many ads, and the live TV option is just insanely expensive.

In the end, nobody is going to pay for more than 2-3 services for the most part. I'm the end, Netflix is still one of the better options for many.

I've liked more shows on Amazon myself.

Lovely, they are also open sourcing data.
Allowing developer control over calling conventions is also simultaneous with disallowing optimization in the case that Function A calls Function B calls Function C calls Function D etc. but along the way one or more of those functions could have their arguments swapped around to a different convention to reduce overhead. What semantics would preserve such an optimization but allow control? Would it just be illusory?

And in practice assembly has the performance disadvantage of not being subject to most compiler optimizations, often including "introspecting on its operation, determining it is fully redundant, and eliminating it entirely". It's not the 1990s anymore.

In the cases where that kind of optimization is not even possible to consider, though, the only place I'd expect inline assembly to be decisively beaten is using profile-guided optimization. That's the only way to extract more information than "perfect awareness of how the application code works", which the app dev has and the compiler dev does not. The call overhead can be eliminated by simply writing more assembly until you've covered the relevant hot boundaries.

Algebra is the simple part. I’d say it’s more about math maturity. At least 1/3rd of my classmates had a hard time grasping the epsilon-delta definition of limit, let alone the deeper definitions like Cauchy sequence or those used in the proof that R is dense(and we were in an elite university’s competitive program). Among the survivors of single-variable calculus, at least 1/3 could barely get by the multi-variable calculus. I saw too many of my friends struggle with different integrals, and got massacred by Green’s equation.

My guess is that most people hit a wall of abstraction at certain point.
Can confirm that I have friends/others get the O1 that basically just have a bigtech role, and they talk it up a bit. Seems this has recently gotten quite easy.
