You have a point, but my comment is better than an anecdote.

There’s about 30 million children in the US in the right age group for using VR headsets, and over 20 million Quest headsets have been sold. It might not be accurate to believe that most children will accept VR, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility especially since the MAUs for adults are terrible.

It doesn’t matter. Houtnis closed the trade routes and “the world’s strongest navy and air force” shat the bed pathetically trying to unblock them.

Leftist activists circles have grievances with white people and this is a small token of revenge. Depersonifying white people. Asians don't get internally consistent treatment because of intersectionality.

Are we really pretending it's a coincidence all the time?

This naivety is rightfully never applied to right wing bigotry.

I'm not white myself but I'm genuinely confused as to why this kind of blatant ethnic antagonization is so normalized in western elites and extremely taboo to point out.
I don’t think there’s any language, interpreted or otherwise, with the goal that knowing its internals won’t help you gain more performance. I mean, that would be nearly impossible.

Ruby code, perhaps more than most code, is written for readability and “beauty”. It’s a part of Ruby culture that I greatly appreciate. But if you care about performance, you will act differently, regardless of language. And the whole point of this code is to show that if you care about performance above all else, there’s of plenty of room to maneuver in interpreted Ruby.
Thanks for the recommendation! Reminds me of Amadou & Mariam.

pretty much right. the traffic survey requirement only affects "posted" speed limits.

the unconditional "maximum speed" limit of 65 or 55 on two-lane [1] is not part of the speed-trap law.

the 55 MPH limit for vehicles towing (big trucks and cars and anything else towing) is a worthless relic and positively unsafe. there are only a few other states that do this, and several of them are busy repealing it.

China would certainly have ferried troops across the water barrier, in absence of the US military. It would be a major boon to control the manufacturing base, even without the talent who have been running the chip fabs.
Obviously the US military has absolutely crushed their enemies as far as not having their hands tied by politics has allowed. And that is important, whether for better or for worse.

In at least 70% of the major conflicts since then, US has absolutely failed in almost every respect in terms of reforming the countries they go to war with, and in bringing about any objective benefits for others or for themselves.

But, until now the deterrent effect of the US military just existing has undoubtedly saved many countries from being overrun by a neighboring thug with despotic tendencies. It is trivial to think of several plausible scenarios for the last 80 years that are far darker than what actually transpired. So that deterrent effect is by far the most important one, and an excellent reason for the US military to remain strong as we move into the future.
I really love to dig new old music. Still discovering artists from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 50s, 20s. I like that the list grows naturally. Been on the train from 90s.

> simply reading, getting whatever I get out of it, and trusting that I’ve gained some perspective,

This is the way to approach it, particularly in these times when knowledge is so vast and there is so much to read. The principle to keep in mind is "Knowledge for Knowledge sake."

But what has happened ever since Industrialization is the focus on output (for a Economy). Hence everything is supposed to be done for a job/money/fame/etc. which i believe is detrimental in the general case.
This bill was never about data privacy. If it was, they’d say something about data brokers and idk ban data brokers from selling Americans’ data to the Chinese.
> Ex-Microsoft software developer Igor Ostrovsky believes that soon, there won’t be a developer who doesn’t use AI in their workflows.

I'm really curious about this. I honestly don't see a case where I would use a coding assistant and everyone I have spoken to that does, hasn't been a strong coder (they would characterize themselves this way and I certainly agree with their assessment).

I'd love to hear from strong coders — people whom others normally go to when they have a problem with some code (whether debugging or designing something new) who now regularly use AI coding assistants. What do you find useful? In what way does it improve your workflow? Are there tasks where you explicitly avoid them? How often do you find bugs in the generated code (and a corollary, how frequently has a bug slipped in that was only caught later)?
For me it's the lack of time or headspace to keep up, and the lack of time to go to concerts. Pre kids we did a lot more of that.
>But for free stuff, I can see where a developer might not want to put a lot of effort there and focus on the interesting part of their project.

That's perfectly fine so long as one doesn't claim to be cross-platform (or supports Windows).

Any flight originating from EU territory is subject to this law, regardless where its other legs are.

I once had a flight Bulgaria -> Moscow -> South Korea, and the second leg got delayed for 6 hours, resulting in a very miserable experience.

Because I was sleep deprived and had no idea what my rights were, I accepted the $20 “compensatory voucher” that they offered and thought the matter was closed.

Sometime after I got back, a company contacted me saying they will issue a court case on my behalf getting the €800 from the airline (2 passengers). Such companies thrive under the “loser pays” system in europe as they just take on those slam dunk cases and have their expenses compensated.

Long story short after about 2 years of going through courts I got the money (minus the 30% fee from the company), and all I did was answer 2 emails and wait it out.

With the difference that they have to invoke incantation instead of using their invaluable hands :’)

And I guess that could create the much dreaded feeling of yielding up their artistic agency.
> Titles like 1998’s Half-Life ... Other first-person shooters (FPS) like Counter-Strike (itself originally a mod for Half-Life) ... the typically low network speeds of the period meant that these games, unlike slower-paced and less graphically intensive strategy games, were nearly unplayable over an internet connection. In this moment, in which communications technology was being outpaced by graphical power, the LAN (local area network) party was born.

Yup that's exactly how I remember it. We were playing half-life at home LAN parties (often at my place and sometimes at big LANs) even before the beta of CS came out. We'd spend lots of time on the various maps, like the "small" map (if I remember the name correctly).

We'd also play Warcraft II on LANs but Warcraft II was playable over "KALI": we'd simulate a LAN over the Internet. For Warcraft II the latency was good enough already.

My best LAN though was the one between my home and my neighbour's home, where a coax cable (!) would hang from window to window, on the second story, in the street. And the phone calls: "Mate, did you forget to put the terminator on a cable, my LAN ain't working anymore!" (if you were to forget the BNC terminator, nothing would work anymore).

"RJ45" ethernet cables already existed but we were broke ass teenagers: so we managed to fetch a shitload of coax network cards and cables a company was throwing away. We didn't have the proper tool(s) though so we'd use kitchen scissors to cut and attach the 'T' connectors to the cables (by squeezing them with the handle of the kitchen scissors). It was totally ghetto but it worked fine.

Great memories, thanks for TFA and for posting TFA!
The law in the OP specifically includes websites, DNS, hosting, etc.

And this isn't some greyweb torrent site with a thousand heads. Without access to US advertisers there's no reason why Tiktok should even want to have US users.
I've just started learning Go as a very long time Rubyist. I really enjoy both languages for very different reasons. In Ruby, I can write code that really makes me happy to read. Enumerable is just wonderful. You can go a long way in Ruby without writing a single if statement. It's great. If I'm working on a solo-project, it's the language I'd choose every time. But working with inexperienced or people who "know" Ruby, but never adopted "the Ruby way" is a nightmare. Ruby code, written poorly, can be extremely brutal to follow. When the great deal of freedom Ruby offers isn't handled responsibly, a hot mess can ensue.

Go is the opposite. It's great, as you say, because it's dirt simple. It's a brutalist get-the-job-done kind of language, and I think if I were to start a company working with other engineers, I'd absolutely choose Go for that reason. It's easy to read. It's easy to reason about. And there's very little implicitness in it.
I would peruse such software.

I can rely on Windows to still be running nice and happy a year later with no attention paid.

Since I'm back on Mojave this is great. Thank you. Much better than the method I previously used combining GeekTool and AppleScript. If I upgrade my OS and ever use Spotify I'll hit the OP's menu bar app.

How is that not a workaround? It's "just how consistency proofs are done" because it's a standard, popular workaround for the problem. We absolutely would prove consistency of ZFC and similar theories in ZFC if we could, we only work in stronger systems because we have to.
I may be reading too far into it, but I think he _is_ mocking his colleague by responding to questions with similar questions.

> Are your emotions pure?

Are you thinking through this with clear thought and emotion?

> Are your nerves adjustable?

Do you feel so strongly about this that it has affected you this whole time, since spring?

> How do you stand in relation to the potato?

Can you not support yourself? Are you as wellrounded or less so than a potato?

> Should it still be Constantinople?

Can the outcome not change even when history repeats itself?

The last one to me seems like the indicator that these questions are not nonsensical. As it is is direct reference to the colleague's question about history repeating itself and refers to a location which changed back and forth numerous times.

Because that's how the government operates. Same with the initial COTS and Commercial Crew awards to SpaceX: it was paired with a similar contracts to Orbital and Boeing, to make sure that if the untested startup failed there would be a traditional contractor ready to take up the slack.
The conclusions of this study - that musical open-mindedness drops off in the late twenties - is consistent with the fact that (pop) music creators also peak in their twenties, with a rapid decline into creative insignificance afterwards.

There's a lot of comforting analysis here on social and cultural development reasons why that might be, but the likely ugly truth is the same faced by creatives in some other areas - a clear cognitive decline, it's just too universal within those fields to be anything else than a physical cause.

With very rare exceptions old people don't make good pop music, there's no reason to expect listeners to not mirror the decline.

Yes, in Lebanon, the Dominican Republic, the Korean DMZ, Grenada, Libya (twice), the Persian Gulf, Iraq (three times), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Haiti, Serbia, Pakistan, and Uganda.

Yes, 100s of billions of dollars were at risk on that vaccine. Kickbacks all over the place to the politicians to make sure everyone got it as many times as possible.

Never mind, there were cheap and effective drugs available that were more effective anyway, but emergency approval for a vaccine required that there was no alternatives available. Hence The demonization of anything other than the vaccine.
Are the trade routes open? No? Then my understanding of the situation is exactly right.
Sen. Mark Warner has uncovered that "all 20" major tech companies are colluding to silence content that challenges government-approved stories about election "misinformation" and "disinformation."
It’s not about you and your kids’ usage, it’s about the general population. Let’s not be naive, TikTok is the 2020s version of “Radio Free X”, a state-backed propaganda tool where anyone can run targeted ads with pinpoint geo accuracy, and cause division and social unrest. And unlike Facebook or YouTube, you can’t hold a company owned by a near-peer geopolitical adversary liable in the US.
That's an unnecessarily pessimistic take. There is plenty of jobs, they pay well compared to almost anywhere in the world, the country is huge with lots of natural resources and a small population. There are amazing beaches, nature and if things go bad, some social safety net.
With that country size, cheap housing is possible - just not in the most desirable locations.
Admittedly I haven't been using a multiple monitor setup since I bought a 43" LG 4k screen. 1.5x scaling is no longer an issue though, as of the latest versions of gnome and wayland, that just works and I haven't noticed any problems with scaling at all (still requires the "tweaks" app because gnome can't be arsed to expose any power-user features in their settings ui).
Kyiv would still be the right location. Russia want anything that may distract the world's attention from the crimes they commit everyday in Ukraine.

I'm in my 40s and still vibing on a mix of novel and nostalgia. I don't know what my secret is but I've never been in a position where discovering new music was difficult. I don't listen to much radio, but when I do, it's a community station with people that care about music. I don't use any streaming services. I have a large, physical music collection that I still add to, both CD and vinyl, supplemented by a digital collection from places like Bandcamp. I explore a bit on Youtube and Discogs, I read music zines and local whats ons, I take recommendations from friends, I go to gigs: local pubs, concerts, festivals. Music seems to come easily if I put myself in front of it.

I went to a gig last night and saw a great band I found a few months ago with two other new (to me) bands and came home with a head full of tunes, strengthened friendships, and a CD from the merch stand.

It's just part of my life and I give it some time each day. :)
That's an interesting question, how does the YJIT perform using the original code? Does it find the optimizations that it results in the same gain such that you don't actually need to personally know the optimization?
Plug pulling is easy technically.
I think plug pulling legally is also easy. Bytedance just doesn't have a strong defense.
Of course it's a simple theory that's exactly the point. It has explaining power though and I find it useful YMMV. What I was trying to get across is that you learn more from the text of the reviewers who voted somewhere in the middle. The 5 star reviews rarely bother to say more than a sentence and they rarely include any useful criticism. The people giving 1 stars are often just pissed off for some reason that will not affect me. Stuff like "It wasn't what I ordered" or "they sent me a used product" - The signal is in the remaining reviews if you take the time to read them.

I’m 38, and I don’t think my exposure to and discovery of music has ever been so high.

I joined a metal discord last year (though my favorite album of the year so far is actually chamber folk / Americana from a recommendation there):

* general recommendations

* seeing what other people listen to

* "themed history months" (Screamarch for Screamo, Finlapril for Finnish metal etc.),

* sampling of any new release that seems slightly interesting (usually about 20 releases per week that I spend a few seconds to minutes with to gauge my enjoyment)

All those expose me to a constant stream of new and old music that I usually never even heard of before.

But then, not using streaming services probably makes me a statistical outlier anyway.
IMO unspoken driver Air Force recapitalizaion problems mirrors navy - too many platforms not suitable for indopac theatre. F35 designed for euro theatre, doesn't have non tanking range for indopac. No reason to double down on inadequate hardware when ngad / b21 on the horizon. Hence US trying to plug longer range lo mix f15ex that can serve as missile truck for future hi mix ngad fighters. And drones. Meanwhile current Air Force mix / Force composition enough for other adversaries even with less airframes. In interim, brass of different branches still going to fight for funding even though much of what's available to acquire is not optimal for what is needed.
I just learned about Vercel's offering today from this post. Vercel is ahead here perhaps, as that is where I want to get to. Obviously having a free VC offering as a competitor is going to make me rethink this a bit!
I fell into the 20-24 age and was deeply suicidal last year. There were two main factors at the time, aside from my usual depression

1) horrendous and soul-crushing job market that constantly signaled to me that I had no value

2) incredibly skewed expectations of success due to the internet

I’ve moved past it for now, luckily, but I’m seeing a lot of people struggle, particularly men, and get left behind, with virtually nobody trying to make us feel valued or supported on the societal level. Many men, especially those without prospects for getting married/having kids, really don’t have a good reason to go on except pure hedonism. And that can only go so far.

Winning a war means achieving your political goals and getting out without creating too many new problems. Winning battles may help you achieve that, but the victories may also be irrelevant to the eventual conclusion.

Every potential opponent knows that the main US weakness is the unwillingness of the civilian population to commit to winning a prolonged war. If the opponent can just survive long enough, there is a high likelihood that Americans will grow tired of the casualties and the wasted billions and give up.
>They are also yet another defense incumbent that needs to be disrupted.

The first and arguably only mission of the Department of Defense is to win wars. Diversifying the economy is none of their concern beyond having a economy with which to fuel their war machines.

If you want diversification of the economy, look towards the Department of Commerce.

Or to put it another way: Thumping your diversity drum doesn't win you wars.
