I took my first 300 km train ride alone at the age of 7.

My parents told me the name of the destination train station, and that my grandmother would be waiting on arrival.

The train staff knew I was travelling alone and checked up on me a few times and gave me free drinks.

Two years later the train stopped being a direct path, so I had to switch trains halfway.

I remember all the little unknowns made me very anxious that I'd get lost somewhere.

For example, they changed the second departure platform so it didn't match the one on my ticket. And the departure platform was located elsewhere on the train station, not in direct connection with the national lines.

When coming back, I remember they'd announce my city as the next stop, and then I'd see these other city names fly by. I remember thinking "They must have forgot to stop!" because I didn't understand that those city names were suburbs of the capital city that I lived in, and that the national train went directly to the train station.

30 years later I still remember all of these. It all worked out fine.

This was before mobile phones.

You can use file:// or git:// versioned dependencies in normal npm `package.json`s today. People just don't, outside some edge cases (local packages, nightly versions) because the centralized registry has upsides for discoverability and maintenance. There's also private registries, where you can setup a .npmrc to pull different namespaces from different registries. But if you want, you can totally be that guy who only publishes their packages to their presumably self-hosted repo - it works.

It's possible Tuta caught a stray here because they recently changed their name from Tutanota[0], including the domain name. This update has the SEO world up in arms, in fact - the update is still rolling out, nearly two months after it was announced.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Google Search team's offices to learn just how much machine learning is messing with the ability to properly understand intent -> rank content.

E2: I take the initial edit back, looks like they got a classifier applied to their site, also known as the "Helpful Content Update":

It's a nasty classifier and not a single site has been reinstated from it[2] since Google began to apply it in Sep 2023.

I mean, all PCs had those, right?

Then it didn’t really “get it”. That’s indistinguishable from a lucky guess. Because you know what else it got wrong? The description of the episode. There’s no coconut falling on head, it was eating sunflower seeds. And everyone gets to do it and that causes the conflict, it’s not about using Gilligan’s power to their advantage.

> Young men who don't measure up to this artificial concept of masculinity then feel like even more of a failure, and well, you know.

I wouldn't call it artificial tho, if much the concept of masculinity got way softer compared to what past generations had to deal with. Nowadays a young man can live for up to 20 years or more without having to any responsibilities and no real life-endangering stress.
What's annoying to me is that when we talk about Wayland, the things it's capable of that X11 can't do are always left out. X has no fractional dpi scaling, and no per-monitor scaling, so it's a non-starter for both my desktop and my laptop setup.

X will never have those things, while Wayland is consistently improving. Yes it has rough edges, yes the security model might be over-engineered, but it's perfectly serviceable nowadays from my point of view.
gemini 1.5 pro is very good. far from perfect, but the long context window helps it stay focussed when iterating on a code base. I tried chatgpt, etc, but it was obvious (to me) that I was wasting more time trying to get these models to work right - I could have just coded it myself faster. But Gemini 1.5 pro has changed that. For moderate-sized stuff (mainly automation, ops scripts etc), its now my goto. And I discovered its much better at golang than even at python. I have converted quite a few fairly-complex python/shell scripts, with feature additions and cleanups, to golang code using gemini 1.5 pro. Just give it the original code, ask it to redo it in golang, and then keep prompting it to add feature-after-feature. One main advantage of this is golang can be cross-compiled to other OSen, and generated a single, stand-alone binary - this means I can distribute these scripts/utilities easily - while I could not do the same for python or shell, as people who would use them are on windows typically.

So gemini 1.5 pro has enabled scenarios which were remaining un-done earlier: It was too much work to deploy and keep updated the bash/python scripts on other peoples computers, and it was not worth my time to develop these automations in golang from the get-go. But with this, I hand out management scripts like candy to other users, dramatically reducing dependence on me.

> A spin to a US company is not enough. It needs to cease operating in the US because there’s no surety that even with a spin data and sharing won’t get back to ByteDance China.

Can we apply this logic to Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc?

I personally only support a ban of TikTok if we apply the logic universally. Such services are weapons, and weapons are sure to be weaponized.

All centrally mass collected, plaintext or effectively plaintext data will sooner or later be co-opted by state actors.

Best to ban the practice of bulk plaintext data storage entirely unless it can all be E2EE and anonymozed to the point of being useless to the companies storing it.
I agree that a good salesperson manipulates people too. Instead of trying to compare how much manipulation is done by salespeople vs in ads, I think it's worthwhile to consider how the manipulation is performed.

Both ad and salesperson will probably attempt to make us feel some emotion - best case without our conscious awareness of it. The tools an expensive ad has at its disposal seem to me much more effective in evoking emotion; visual stimuli, carefully crafted music, decades of psychology research, etc.
And while we've had a chance to evolve strategies against human to human manipulation (doors, perhaps, and various subtle triggers of distrust), the ad environment is a very recent development.

> the horses bolted after "building materials were dropped from height right next to them".

It is unusual for parade horses to bolt (when they get loose, they most often stick with their friends, and otherwise just go home; IIRC their stables are near the palace) and it is unusual for anyone to exercise horses near where people are dropping building materials.

Given that an MOD linked MP has given names: Vida, Trojan, Quaker, and Tennyson, as well as their hospitalisation status, I would not want to be the builder responsible.
Especially for "display clarity." I smell confirmation bias here. Higher latency across two machines is hard to swallow but, sure, maybe they do have hardware where Wayland is broken.

You are completely misrepresenting history!

The Germans wanted 'Lebensraum' because they didn't want to import food and resources from others. They didn't want to relay on anybody else. They wanted the German race to dominate those resource areas. They wanted to compete in the great power game with US, Britain and the Soviets.

You act like they saw the apartment buildings in Berlin, decided that was 'to dense' and therefore they started WW2. That is simply not accurate.

Their aim was not to reduce density, but rather massively increase the population of the German race. Their policy was literally pro population growth. Their 'Lebensraum' was not for currently existing Germans, because German was to dense. The 'Lebensraum' was for future generations of German Supermen that they would literally breed.

I am serious by the way that this is an utterly disgusting way to argue. You should seriously be ashamed of yourself. I know that housing policy makes people insane, but you responding with 'Hitler genocide is because of urbanization' is the lowest level of argument I have come across.
I’m pretty sure that I have been programmed. By my parents, by my friends, my education, my environment.

Change any of those things in a significant way and I’m sure I would be a different person now. I love the idea that I am an autonomous agent of my own that exists self evidently outside of those bounds, I just don’t think it’s true.

It is about connotation.
I play Go against you.
You are my opponent or, if it is a tournament, I could also call you my adversary(connotation is a bit stronger, less matter of fact like opponent, more around competition now).
After the game, we sit down and have tea and laugh.

Now let's explore the connotation of enemy.
Playing Go against you calling you my enemy is outright wrong.
However, if you were my enemy, I would not drink tea and have a laugh with you afterwards.
I wouldn't even be playing a game of Go against you, but rather trying to do other not so nice things to you.

Such is the nature of connotation.

But what if we just kept working on X11 instead starting from scratch?
This discussion feels like it's going in circles. Some important points to add -- Wayland already has some features that will never come to X11:

* Support for different screen resolution across screens. I would venture a guess that most of us plug a screen into our laptop these days, I use this feature almost every day.
* Similarly, different screen refresh rates across screens. I personally don't care.
* Scaling of the home bar or whatever it's called. Couldn't be scaled in X11 in many cases, remained too small. Much better handled in Wayland. Essential feature for me.
If youre certain of your view, isn't it just easier to buy options?
Thanks, I see your point. The original design sketches were more similar to the minimalistic UI of the game. However, the main feedback there was that people felt the website did not portray the colorful contents of the game. As you said, the color also helps lift the screenshots, though I will probably add a little more animation to the page in the future since it feels a little bit static at the moment.

Have you looked up the statistics and not viewed it from a race lens?

Do you have the belief that the way immigration is structured can't ever "be a problem"?

I'd recommend looking into the quality of life and cost of living data in Canada, all the metrics that are related, and how they have changed in just the last 8 years - and ideally you find out what the source cause(s) are for that as well - government policy wise.

I'm curious what data you think is hard to find, or what data you think is or isn't relevant and related to suggesting if "immigration is a problem" or not?

Also, could you agree at least that immigration could be structured well to certainly maximize for its positives like you state including being a driving force for technological/social progress - and that could be where most of the accurately kept historical data comes from - at the same time then it's possible that immigration policy and processes could possibly dramatically change and harm the local population, especially the poorest, perhaps inadvertently due to incompetent governance - or perhaps through malice and alterior motives?

Harming the poorest the most being an example of being counter to social progress, unless you don't give any value to the poor who are already citizens living in a place - and value immigrants more for how they could potentially benefit society; or they could make things far worse - especially if there's no proper vetting, right?

You've also simply made unsubstantiated-unsupported claims, not linking to any data or evidence to support your statements - while ironically calling out the person you're replying to wanting them to actually explain it with some detail.

Would you for example consider if rent/housing costs went up by 400% in a short period, and the majority of youth can no longer afford to buy a home - would you chalk that up to immigration playing any role of that, or would your claim be that it doesn't have a major impact?

I think another part is that materialism, determinism and science have (seemingly) given us great understanding and control of our environment and overturned lots of superstitious and erroneous ideas that society has. So if you accept materialism and determinism as the base of the universe and nature of things you naturally arrive at the conclusion that there is no free will.

I have a hunch that the universe is more complicated than that and might likely be beyond human understanding, but maybe that's just another superstitious belief. Regardless, we should keep using Science to explore because it is the best model we have so far and continue to use Philosophy to question things.

Personally I feel that I have free will and understanding of my emotions gives me more free will. Even if I am wrong, I prefer living in a non-free will universe and believing in free will than living in a free will universe and not believing in free will. In the former case that would just be my destiny, haha.

> I also think a lot of people feel like the smartest people go way back and listen to the classical stuff. […] and for awhile I was kind of embarrassed by that fact

That says a lot more about those who think that it does about than those who do or do not listen to "classical" music.

> Personally, I've never really been able to get into classical music outside of movie soundtracks,

Not implying it will or should be the same for you, or even that you should try it, but in my limited experience headphones and speakers have hardly ever done any justice to "classical" music.

It also seems some of it needs the listeners to have lived a little, so it can resonate with them. As an example, I couldn’t care less for operas as a teenager. Fifteen years later, two live operas are among the few pieces that have so far managed to make me cry.

But in any case, to each their own.

As someone constantly seeking out new music (recently for example, I've been working backwards through the 1001 albums you must listen to book), I inherited some of my family's old vinyl collections including stuff that was like 60 years old.

So so much of it is awful. It's interesting granted, but people ignore that the charts were filled with bland covers of other popular songs even in the 60's.

Hip Hop is a great showing of survivor bias. Sure, Tupac, Biggie, Beastie Boys etc are classic but people are rarely listening to the bland safe music from that era. So so many songs where the rapper couldn't think of anything more inventive than "oh you're having FUN well wait till I go and get my GUN I'll shoot you dead and you'll be DONE"

In 30 years, people will hear Kendrick's discography and think "god no one makes meaningful hip hop anymore" while forgetting about the "pop music but instead of a guitar solo, it's a bad rap verse" or the vast amount of emo/trap/SoundCloud stuff where the good stuff is rare.

The exciting thing about living now is the ease that someone can send a link to me. Constantly my friends and I are finding recently released or decade old music that we can simply message the other and say "you'll love the production on this" - whereas for years, you saved up your pocket money and bought one album and that's all you had until you could afford another.

People who say modern music is rubbish rarely make any effort to actually find any. You've kids now talking about bands like Arctic Monkeys but they don't realise the indie landfill of shite guitar bands that all had the same look, same twangy sound, same trajectory. For every Panda Bear/Animal Collective - there was 100 bland animal based bands all copying the same formula in the hope of being as big as Pigeon Detectives lmao
