Try posting more than a short line of dismissive cynicism that can be interpreted any number of ways next time. And in the context of the comment you're replying to, "drawing an equivalence between totalitarianism and Western democracy (whether that's "democracy" or not)" is very much the common meaning.

If you intended to say something else with more nuance then you should have said something else with more nuance. I do my best to give the best possible interpretations to what people are saying, but don't expect people to bend over backwards to tease out a good faith interpretation of such brief and dismissive comments. You reap what you sow.
The original was at the edge of the uncanney valley in the way it moved. This one seems a lot less human-like in its movement so doesn't conjure up those feelings for me.
So, do the habit every day, but don't do it because of any secondary goal (like money), other than the immediate goal doing the habit itself.

Problem is, if you haven't completely bought into the habit yet, and it feels uncomfortable relative to other options, I don't know that you can avoid asking yourself "why" you're doing the habit.

In your example, I guess you already find programming fascinating, but hadn't found the discipline to practice regularly. But I still don't know how many people wouldn't abandon developing the habit if they get stuck in the weeds.

Imagine learning the violin, because you've liked to listen to classical music. It takes a lot of faith when you're stuck hearing how bad you sound at the beginning, and how you have to duck nasty glances or comments from others in your household that have to endure your practicing. A secondary goal might be to be admitted to an orchestra and do concerts that your friends and family might attend. But that being "vanity" means that we should only focus on the primary goal of enjoying violin music. Again, I see many people getting lost in the weeds without secondary goals of some sort acting as a lodestar.
Straight from the article (shortened by me): "The promise that professional secrets should not be affected by chat control is a lie cast in paragraphs. [...] Chat control inevitably threatens to leak intimate photos"

On a more abstract level: in a democracy you need to consider the abuse potential of a law, and you need to leave open ways for peaceful reform if our institutions fail. That's why confidential communication channels between citizens are important, and intercepting private communication has to always come with strong checks and balances
Funnily, with age I began to think that UNIX itself poorly embodies parts of the "UNIX philosophy". Plan 9 wasn't created for nothing, after all.

Thus, improving on the original UNIX (more than what POSIX can do, though I dearly await the new iteration that gives us `realpath`/`readlink` and other important goodies in `sh(1)`) isn't that much of a lèse-majesté, in my eyes.
London and Paris are two of the most expensive cities in Europe (maybe the top 2 if you ignore Switzerland) so I agree if you're talking about people going there.

But the majority of Europe is cheaper than the majority of the U.S. (think Greece or Spain or Portugal or even most of Germany)

Japan also is much cheaper to travel in than the U.S.

Personally most people I know who do international traveling have avoided London and Paris due to the high cost of travel.
Ad targeting has long offered ML based targeting models. Usually with product names like "audience extension", "predictive segments", "likely X buyers". LLMs have taken over the "AI" term in general discussion, but the strengths and weaknesses are not too different here (just more computationally efficient).
Star Control 3 was built by a different group of designers and developers, since the original ones decided to pursue other projects. Its history is a bit murky. Some say it's great and true to the originals, while others think it deviates too much.

You can think of it as The Curse of Monkey Island vs Return to Monkey Island. The original designers now wants to come back and build a sequel to the game they created.
Has the buzz for Java ever come from Hot New Features? As I recall that buzz was 80% marketing budget from Sun then Oracle, the stability of the platform and the ready availability of programmers.

If anyone ever picked Java for its features, their judgement should be questioned. The thinking might well withstand that questioning, but it isn't an obvious choice on the basis of features. I mean, Java itself is an obvious choice - but not because of its features. You can show me languages with much better feature-sets and I'll nod, agree then recommend Java for production use. The features just aren't the selling point.
> If I could give my employees a $50k cash bonus and it got taxed at 24% or I could gift them a $50k car "for testing" and it was tax free, everyone would be getting paid in cars.

Belgium has exactly that (use of a car is tax-free) and as a result company cars are wildly popular. Getting rid of this tax loophole has been unpopular, but as a compromise they will only apply it to electric cars in the future.

The thing that endlessly amuses me is that there are oodles of ways to get a libarts degree without incurring student debt. Heck, you can get a passable STEM degree without incurring student debt. Or at least not paying more for a degree than you'd pay for a decently-specced new car right off the lot.

For reference, I have a degree in history that I paid (ending in 2014) 30k in 2024 dollars for over the course of six years. Even with current price, that same degree at the same institution would be ~60k over the course of four years. Inflationary and gouging - sure, but still rather affordable.

The current system that perpetuates "college for everyone" along with a governmental debt guarantee to the universities leads to incessant price jacking. No, Boston University is emphatically not worth 63 thousand dollars a year. No state school is worth 30-40k/year.
I have zero ties to the industry.

> Under the leadership of CEO Jim McNerney, Boeing underwent a seismic shift in its corporate culture. Driven by a desire to cut costs and bust unions, McNerney embarked on a mission to outsource the development and engineering of the 787 Dreamliner to suppliers, many of whom lacked the necessary expertise. This ill-conceived plan not only burned through billions of dollars but also set the stage for a systematic purge of Boeing’s most experienced and knowledgeable workforce.

> Deliberate nondocumentation was a cornerstone of the new Boeing culture with which Swampy came into constant conflict. In 2014, he was reprimanded in a performance review for documenting “process violations” in writing instead of flagging issues verbally and “working in the gray areas”—i.e., without leaving a paper trail. Nondocumentation was part of a larger “theory,” Swampy explained in an interview earlier this year with TMZ, that “quality is overhead and not value-added.”

> It’s more complicated than that. Due to a new law in Germany, a teacher getting to know that these images are floating around and forwarding them to the respective parent could be charged for distributing child porn.

I was only adressing how this hypothetical teacher could have had access to it, not what they should do about it, since you were making very strong suppositions about it.

> Do kids typically have their teachers phone numbers in their contacts? Have them added on Facebook? Follow them on Insta?

Is it that rare for some teacher (even in high school) to receive some of their students work online? And didn't the Covid situation with remote classes, Zoom, etc, made it possible for such a thing (students having some way of contacting their teachers online) to be way more common now than before?

Anyway, not sure anything I can say could change your mind.

Edit: About what should the teacher do in that case, this was my assumption, I may be wrong, but I think when @pflenker was mentionning this law, they only tried to put it in a scenario in relation with the thread were we could think that child pronography wasn't involved, similar to when @DoreenMichele was mentionning the fact that a teenager sharing (with consent) a nude with other teenagers should not be charged and labeled as CP.
imho, Nobody does capitalism better than the Americans the South Koreans, and the Japanese(I guess because of the lack of natural resource in their geographies for KR/JP?). I've been privileged enough to build in those countries for an extended period of time, and work with builders in many other countries. I strongly believe nobody bruit forces ideas into existence better than them, they make the resources happen in the right way. Even if you're not much into capitalism, how deeply it's been embraced by the culture still fascinating, especially as a Canadian where I believe we do capitalism particularly poorly.

It seems like we actually agree on more than it seems, even if we disagree on the value of a victim mindset and the necessity of adopting victim in-group identity.

Of course I agree with having ones eyes open to their personal circumstance and challenges, as well as the value of giving and receiving help to others. However, I do think it is ironic that you think people have the agency to help others more and become leaders, but not have the agency to help themselves.

Circling back to drugs, this is akin to becoming a sobriety advocate, but not trying to get sober. You say everyone knows not to do drugs, but from what I know, hopelessness, self-hate, and self-delusion is a key difference between those who become addicts and those that dont.

I think that exaggerated messaging about statistical disadvantage does more harm than good if it is uncoupled from the message about statistical advantage of personal action (e.g. you may be 2x more likely to end up poor if born poor, but you are 10x more likely to escape if you stay sober and go to college). these numbers are obviously made up, but literature overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that personal behaviors have more impact than group statistics and environmental circumstances. Of course personal choices like staying in school or smoking meth have huge impacts on your personal life!

Incomplete messaging of this is harmful because people need to understand and believe there is an actionable path to a better life in order to try. Hopelessness and despair are real barriers that need to be acknowledged.

You brought up depression earlier, and while I dont tell people to "snap out of it", it is also true that almost nobody overcomes depression without the belief that their actions CAN have improve their depression, and that there is a path to improvement. It is central and fundamental to rehabilitation. Most of depression therapy boils down to convincing people improvement is possible, and teaching them how to do it. A therapist may be a crucial help that makes the difference, but the patient still has to do 99% of the work.

Interesting to see "fully open source" as a stretch goal, even though I don't think we're realistically going to get there. It's an acknowledgment, in my view, that much of the game's enduring legacy is due to their decision to release Star Control 2's source code for the 3DO, which allowed for ports to various other platforms and distros. It made the game widely accessible to Windows and even MacOS/Linux users who missed the game in its heyday.

I love the fact that in most Linux distros I can just install the package `uqm` and have a properly packaged, working copy of the game.
He is saying they don't all have vanilla JS implementations of component functionality.
Put another way, they took the gains in technology and process improvements and banked them for themselves, releasing a new generation that achieves similar performance (in some cases worse) to last gen, albeit at an improved power envelope, at the same price as last gen, but that they have higher margins on.

The fact they can do this speaks to the lack of competition in the GPU market at the midrange and up. Compare this to the CPU market, where we now have Intel and AMD giving it everything to leapfrog each other every 6-9 months.

I don't begrudge nvidia wanting to spend a generation consolidating their market position - that's their right - just as it's mine to look at a GPU that performs roughly the same as one I bought 7 years ago at almost the same price and say "no thanks".

Not with this GPT. The context size would not allow keeping attention to the total meaning of more than 2048 tokens (as reflected in the transformed embedding of that context's last token).
For a substantial part of a novel, it would require a much larger context size with then presumably will need a higher dimensional embedding/semantic space.

You can't cut sharp inside corners using a cnc mill (round bits), as one would want for tabbed fixtures.

Most sheet good are too large to be placed on or moved around by a cnc mill table.

CNC milling is a slow process (unless you can drop six figures on one).

CNC mills take a lot longer to setup and program, and also require more skill to have a successful result (no chatter, not breaking bits, ramping into the cut on interior features).

Good CNC mills that can handle steel are massively heavy and large machines which makes transport and setup difficult for the home machinist.

But after residency, you’re looking at a salary of 200K. You’d be able to pay down your debt in a few years of frugal living.

Debt itself isn’t bad if it’s taken on as an investment.
Reminder- there is no such thing as "cancelling student debt". The money was borrowed and spent, we're just moving the debt from the people who took it out and benefited from it, to other unrelated taxpayers who get stuck with the bill.

The student who made all the prudent decisions- lived on cheap groceries, while attending a low-cost state school to major in something employable like nursing or accounting now gets saddled with the debt from the student who got a basketweaving degree from a private liberal arts school while ordering UberEats every day.

The government should claw back the money from the universities that overcharged and failed to provide value (as they have done in a few extreme cases against for-profit scam colleges) but it's frustratingly unjust to see people who made frugal decisions be forced to pay for others who didn't.

You're right that they're as flawed as anyone else, but the point still stands that they spent years studying these problems. Years that modern developers, especially front end developers just don't have.

I'm not saying these ideas shouldn't be revisited, but if you're going to revisit them, do it at an academic institute, where you can spend time figuring out the problems, not at your commercial job where you have to ship next week, no matter how broken it is.

> Perhaps developers need to test on something other than MacBooks?

This. So much this.

I've gotten down-voted in the past for being really harsh on Macs, this is because I've worked places where the company would only issue MacBooks to its developers, and requests for non-Macs were denied by a blanket policy. So I kind of hold a grudge that's more fairly directed at the companies rather than Apple (but still, Apple's "our way or the highway" approach is antithetical to my way of interacting with computers). These company policies not only affect developer productivity when your engineers have decades of experience training themselves to be productive on their non-Mac system of choice, but it gets so much dumber when your company officially supports non-Mac-using users.
> The institutions should be held liable for this debt, not the tax payer, and our government should not guarantee or subsidize these loans.

A lot of the institutions are government entities, taxpayer sponsored public universitites.

It's analogous to suing police departments for police brutality: it's not the police officers who end up paying (police officers don't have millions of dollars to pay out) but rather the taxpayers of the cities.
> The institutions should be held liable for this debt, not the tax payer, and our government should not guarantee or subsidize these loans.

This seems fair to me. Many universities have tremendous endowments and should be in a position to offer financing to their students. The extent of government subsidy could be no tax on the interest gained from the loans they write.
