Sounds like you are getting your panties in a bundle about other people getting their panties in a bundle. Why do you care so much what other random people on the internet think?

Maybe it is you who needs to go outside and stop reading these comments which make you feel 'insane'?
Not really victim culture. The problem is people taking comments on social media way too seriously. Facebook as around three billion MAU. Let's say half of those speak English. It takes 0.001% of that userbase to produce 15'000 comments passionate about an issue. That's more than enough for anyone to believe they did something wrong, if the other 99.999% don't care enough to engage in the conversation.

I can't wait for AI to finally give social media the coup de grace.
Dude then got PTSD and healed himself with vitamins. That's pretty impressive actually.
I feel in the minority, but took the ad as if it was compressing all those things into the iPad, not “destroying” them. Maybe it’s a glass half full kind of thing.
Is there anything people won’t get offended about? It’s a harmless ad, kinda funny. How do you make it through the day if you’re this thin-skinned?
It seemed like a fun ad to me and that was it.

People have to go through mental gymnastics to justify being angry at it, but do they feel the same way when these objects get destroyed in movies?
What "this"? The ad, or the reactions mentioned in the article?

As a musician, the reactions are... stupid.

As a musician, the ad is... nothing, really. Except that I can use GarageBand on an iPad to record and mix songs, but that's nothing specific to the ad itself.
and i'm shocked that your response is to tell people to man up cry babies. maybe try reflecting why there was a reaction to the ad from a human experience perspective. there is a reason apple appologized instead of telling them to man up as you're suggesting.
Looks interesting. I had an idea last year that I never acted on that was down this same path.

The design looks really nice.

At this point, my chats are so brief and infrequent compared to a year ago. The standard UI is more than I need at this point as I never reference back to any past chat.

I also find I seem to get the best answer from the least context. Extra context seems to hurt more than it helps for my uses.

Down the line something like this might be an obvious interface everyone will want to use. Right now though its not even something I need to try.

Congrats though. I love BYOAK.
Just because there are bigger problems, it doesn't mean there isn't demand to solve smaller ones.

For example, most of the churches where I live have a big meeting room underneath their main worship space. This room has curtains to divide it into smaller spaces for a dozen or more different meetings, including Sunday school, where a dozen (often noisy) children might be in each room.

Having curtains that genuinely reduce the noise between the areas would make a huge difference! It would reduce the demand to build new buildings with separate walled rooms that wouldn't be used most of the time.

Adding flexibility of use to larger spaces with a variety of demands is a problem worth solving, even if it's not as big of a problem as motor vehicle noise in large cities.
>Not more than burning my regular fire wood, and infinitely better than fossil fuel

Not recycling still, recycling would be making something out of it, e.g. a plate, a toy, whatever.
Another option is making fiberboard alike material out of it from sawdust.

Dunno about termites, it'd depend where you live, but then again, I am not sure how that came into the discussion. Anyway compost is used in gardening, so it's a form of recycling.
> (...) and then force push it.

I don't think this is a good example. Forcing a push means that the repository will lose commits, but you still keep yours in your local branch. This means the repo is not broken, but at best you have a perfectly valid local repository that just happens to be out of sync.

If you rename your local branch and set it to not track the remote one, and afterwards you fetch changes from the remote branch, then you're done.

Not telnet/ethernet, but later VTs had built-in modem controls and some utilities in firmware, so you could have an AT-capable modem connected over serial port and just select what connection to dial into.
Poor maintenance of a probably thousands long whitelist of "brand quality" seed sites? When the only measure they really care about is ad revenue, and bad organic results might mean more ad clicks? It's not really that outlandish, just plain complacency from a company with an overwhelming market share lead in search. That's how Google started in the first place...capitalizing on complacency/stagnation on the then leaders in search.
What Apple should have done is play off of "Honey, I shrunk the kids". Get Rick Moranis out of retirement to accidentally shrink all those instruments and everything else into an iPad.

The fact that you think it’s normal to use the word “shocked” to describe how you feel after reading an anonymous comment on an internet board about a tv ad ironically reinforces the entire point.
Tcl is actually an inspiration for Elvish, and Elvish has a "command language" flavor too.

The "everything is a string" idea sadly turned out to not work that well for most people though, so Elvish has lists, maps, and first-class functions :)

Does AirBnb do zero validation of listed properties?

I highly suspect that they just don't care.
Paper discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40307832
Yeah, I've been in Airbnbs for the last 3ish years all over Africa and Asia and mostly haven't had any issues. Nothing like described in the article, but if a host tries anything even remotely fishy I just go straight to Airbnb and let them sort it out. In my limited experience, Airbnb has always been on my side as a guest rather than on the hosts side.

In all my travels, I've not seen hotels be even remotely competitive in price compared to an Airbnb, at least when staying for a month. Usually for the cost of a run-down hotel room I could have a great 1 bedroom apartment with a kitchen and washing machine.
Curtains add a flexibility to the use of space that walls do not. If I only have overnight guests very occasionally, I don't want to wall in part of my living room to accommodate them, but I'd love to be able to hang a curtain from some removable hooks that would give them some real noise privacy.

This reminds me of another of those random polynomial questions where a good answer showed why the question asker's chosen distribution of coefficients lead to the result they were seeing. Anyone recognize that and have a link? It seems like it's relevant here too.

Regarding the addition to libxx: I’m not fond of adding an increasing number of specific compiler options which need to be turned on for memory-safety. It should be default whenever possible. What do you think?

I love -faddress=sanitizer or -fsanitize. The historically growing number of warnings which should be turned on are an issue. For example the options -Wconversion, -Wsign-conversion and -Warith-conversion shall be default with C++XX. And if your code doesn’t compile, fix it, use and older revision or turn it deliberately off (saying: I’m aware, read the handbook, I take the risk). Doing such changes with language revisions allows people to take notice about it without surprise.

I want some ideas of CPP2/cppfront[1] in C++XX. Finally using #unsafe when needed, like Rust. C++ does evolve over decades, more like other languages.

[1] https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront

BTW. Use the AddressSanitizer. Please! The toolchain improved the usage and safety of the language so much. It wasn’t available twenty years ago but it is now.

Kidding, I'll give it a try. Can it replace one's shell as daily driver?
I don’t think that’s what’s driving the attention. Plenty of companies make tasteless or unpleasant ads. But Apple? It’s just bewildering.
Not liking it is one thing. Being offended and hurt is another.

"psychopath marketing VP" - how do you build such a narrative?
Surely what really puts a different spin on it is that the purpose of these takes was apparently to demonstrate to the insurance company that Welles was unable to work. In that context, he put on a great (albeit method-enhanced) performance.
Why get so bothered by other people being upset? Apple is going to be fine, you don’t need to worry on their behalf. No need to get your undergarments of choice in a twist. Good opportunity to step outside and get some fresh air.

Since this viewer uses MuPDF as the document engine, it should already support EPUB, MOBI, FB2, and XPS document formats.

If it doesn't, it should be a relatively simple task to upgrade the mupdf library to the latest version and recompile Sioyek to get all the file formats supported by mupdf.
I'm not sure this is true for apps that commonly forwarded though? My impression is tk for example uses xlib heavily and so has much better behaviour over the network than GTK, and the majority of apps I've seen where the audience uses X forwarding commonly seem to be using tk.
If they're used by the software and aren't deterministically producible by the code, then I don't really understand how anyone could say that they don't belong.
It's not art, it's an advertisement.
Isn't that "simply" a task for the diff viewer? - VCSs like git treat all files like objects (while storage does some deduplication) and only few things imply textual content, and I wouldn't want an automated merge on an image or 3D scene anyways (while in rare cases this might work, I guess more often it would produce more trouble than where it helps)
I think this is it. Imagine if instead there was a "siphon" effect where the instruments get miniaturised / sucked into the iPad. I don't think anyone would have been upset by that. It's the crushing that's at issue, and it does touch on an anxiety around the digital experience crushing the life out of the more physical / personal engagement with music.
If they apologized it's because it's the best PR move. The execs definitely aren't sweating over "destruction of human experience".
It's also a non-trivial part of why modern UIs often appear to have higher latency than old ones...
Pointy Haired Boss.

I now feel very old. Dilbert taught engineers how the world worked in a sarcastic over the top way. No wonder new engineers are confused :(
What's the bold statement? Throw away all those things, get an iPad instead which can "do everything" and is thinner?

I thought everyone could see the absurdity in there?

For me personally, crushing an upright piano is like Apple showing a middle finger to anyone who plays on a real piano.
> And I know some people say "you are supposed to review AI-generated content before submitted", but I am also sure many new users will think the kind of crap advice that AI generates is OK.

We're watching development of idiocracy in real time. It'll start with "yeah, we're reviewing every content it generates" until new generation will stop thinking for itself completely and PRs will switch from machine-sceptic to "who are you to argue against computer?" (and not because machine became so good it's better than human).
That just came out, let's see if it goes anywhere and if they keep pushing it in other products, or if it's just a marketing exercise for one product, but I'm skeptical its here to stay.

I also remember how upgradable GPUs in laptops using MMX slots were pushed by Dell and a couple of others a few times 10-15 years ago, but abandoned each time.

I hope this catches on though, but like I said, I'm skeptical.
Staged outrage.
Ah there we go. At the very least I was only considering the subspace where the polynomial's derivative has only real roots?

Think of a simple quadratic. The reflection is across the min(f(x)) axis. But for higher order polynomials that doesn't always work so that is certainly an issue. Thanks
Yes, that is true. But because we benefit from that destruction, even though we don't want to use the planet that way, we inherit the responsibility of fighting for it. Just like we have the responsibility of protecting our children against people who would hurt them, even if we aren't the ones doing the damage.

Yeah, but it's lot cheaper.

I see a pattern where some of my friends can get a lot out of the combination of cheap plane tickets and Airbnb. The only downside is that you never know where you're going in advance, because your're just sifting through the cheapest options.
i can dislike the ad or even find it repugnant, and the moment it ends still be on with my life. last time i checked having opinions on things was not frowned upon.

Interesting. Got any numbers how it affects team velocity?
"We have to be a little bit tougher than this" is not the same as "Man up cry babies". That's a hyperbolic rephrasing which I think significantly misses the tone of the original.
Your take resonated with me, as did your response to the author.

Making the port look modern by using a modern look makes tons of sense. The soul sucking feeling it produces comes from the modern look's motivations, which is not the author's fault alone, but instead from the 'market and sell everything' era we current live within.

Everyone is right here, it is circumstances that are disappointing.
Odd response. They were asking if it was CGI.

To me it looks like a combo of CGI bits and real bits.
Well, framing it as compression I would like to suggest this commercial falls in the lossy compression category.

(And I don't consider myself an audiophile.)
I've never seen a commercial that could also work as Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat" metaphor. One size fits all, indeed.

This dystopian ad is far more emblematic of Apple today than the bland Disneyfied ads they normally make.

All these arcade cabinets, vinyl records and expensive instruments are things Apple has tried to flatten into a skeumorphic touchscreen simulacrum for years.
I don't feel anything from the ad, but if you're numb to a pointed reminder of the towering tetragrammaton that ushered in perhaps the most anti-human technology we have seen (phones), then perhaps you need to be a little more open to experiencing the rawness of life.

There's no strength in disassociating from the ills of the world. Useful in short bursts, but as a default state I would say is a problem.

Now that doesn't mean the other side -- the histrionics -- are "right," but there is a balance to be found here.
It's possible to have a negative reaction to something, but otherwise be fine. I don't think there's many people sobbing uncontrollably on the subway because they saw this ad.

All sorts of media - whether movies or books or games or ads - are designed to make some kind of reaction in the audience. Dismissing "I don't like this" as a valid reaction is also dismissing "I like this", which seems silly.
Does random polynomial mean with real or complex coefficients, though?
Wouldn't large body collisions be a fairly common occurrence in young planetary systems though?

Of course any additional condition makes life rarer, I'm just thinking this one might not make it rarer by as many orders of magnitude as it might look like at first glance.
> destroying a few objects for an ad is like spitting in the ocean in the scheme of things.

I understand your point but the greater irony of the expression is that, at scale, our spitting (flushing, dumping, spewing) into the ocean has created an ecological disaster.
Peaking nitrogen oxides has made quite a difference for me personally living near Oxford Street. A decade ago it had some of the highest NO2 levels in the world and I was getting stinging eyes and thinking of moving. It's quite a lot better now mostly down to the vehicles having less polluting power sources.

Apple apologises for iPad ad criticised as 'destruction of the human experience'
I think that was the intent of the ad, indeed. However, the fact that destruction was used is disrespectful to those items nevertheless. After all, the items were produced from metals unsustainably extracted from the earth, and are a gift to us borne from the pain of the planet.

It is the same concept as if you were to destroy a gift given to you by a friend. Of course, the point beyond that is that the use of destruction is reflective of the reality of modern "civilization" and goes beyond the point of the ad.
I get what they were trying to do which is “the iPad can do all of this and it is thin”. I think I don’t have the personality to have a personal relationship with artist tools …
I suspect this can explain a lot of the IQ loss since it become difficult to build concentration.
I have a ton of respect for whoever sticks to the traditional vi! Not promising anything but this may have bumped the priority of supporting ^Z slightly in my TODO list :)
Agreed.

Its not Apple's style, but they could have opened the ad with some cringe fake scientists discussing how to shrink and/or combine and/or smush music, books, art, etc together. And then at the end show them excitedly rushing to the IPad as if they've solved everything.
The question posed specifies real coefficients, looks like experimentally tested on random coefficients selected from [-1, 1] from uniform distribution and a sort of scaled normal distribution.
The first line of the question says "real".
I think this is why the skyrocketing costs of healthcare in the US are so upsetting to me. Its sucking away the hope by putting so many of these technological miracles out of reach.
"The above 5 paragraph essay contains an ad. Good luck!"
Pure-CPU is side effect of XFree86 being essentially "lowest common denominator" platform (and even then some stuff was accelerated) - it comes from X.Org X11 releases being "base code" for vendors to built their own.

For comparison, SGI used a wildly different architecture underneath, which heavily impacted performance - it's also why "xsgi" would default to indexed colour and you'd use 24bit/32bit visuals only for some windows - the server would use indexed colour visuals on the actual framebuffer to reduce memory bandwidth and composite everything together in hardware.

It's also why there were "X11 Overlays" for GL - it meant you could easily implement parts of the GUI in X11 and still render on-top of direct-rendered visuals that bypassed X11.
I have a hobby that on any RPC framework I encounter, I file a Github issue "did you think of TCP_NODELAY or can this framework do only 20 calls per second?".

So true. Just last month we had to apply the TCP_NODELAY fix to one of our libraries. :)
Not to mention, and this is something I have to explain to my European friends all the time when they get all of their information on the US from it's media, Americans speak in hyperbole all the time. It's how they talk to each other ("omg, you're my best friend", "I almost died", "That's the biggest tower I've ever seen", "People are literally dying on the streets due to private healthcare", etc), so if you read it without the context you would think this ad is the worst thing in the world.
Apple did it because that’s the typical corporate response to a backlash, that said nobody should tell you to man up, you feel the way you feel and that’s it, just a reminder that it goes in both sides of the spectrum.
The only bit I'm surprised by is the alleged shock of some executives.

Fossil fuelled fascism is the defining political trend of our age.
I don't know whether they have a reason to apologise or not. But... this ad is not doing what they wanted it to do. It's too heavy handed, it's too weak in its value proposition.
It's just a bad ad. Compare it to the original introduction of the iPhone. Jobs just stated "we build a new phone, a new iPod and a new ?calendar?" [0] repeated that 5 times and asked "Do you get it?". The (implicit) statement was "you won't need any of those again". This message is what they aimed for with that ad. But instead of the (admittedly arrogant) prediction "YOU won't want any of those anymore", they went for "you can't use the other stuff anymore" [1]. And that just makes them look far, far weaker than e.g. the iPhone intro

[0] not sure about the last one
