Matrix lost, or never even won, outside some unusually neckbeard-y communities. I gotta admit I kinda enjoyed watching someone try to make normies use it. Impossible. To be fair, discord is hard. But Matrix was really impossible.
You should know about the stack and heap as general concepts, yes.

More importantly, you need to understand generally how memory management works in your environment. It really, truly, does lead you into writing more efficient code.

But this article in particular isn't really worth the read, IMO.
Do you use twitter? The rhetoric in this post has the exact cadence of someone who spends a lot of time on social media.
What’s wrong with discord? I’m on several servers for open source projects and it’s pretty good.
wow the whole site is only pushing bullshit science. Its worth to click a bit on the other articles. Seems like an AI generated website.
Correct, I’m making that link. That is my argument. Tit for tat escalates. When you respond with like then you get a stronger like in response. It’s a positive feed back loop. Basic human and group behavior. Two kids starting bumping into each other, if they both respond with similar force then soon they will be fighting all out.

We don't talk about Tranzor-Z.

It has a female robot with boob rockets, IIRC.
Let's try to fix the things that hurt us on a human scale, with the technological and social stability that nets us we're in a much better place to tackle problems way further down the line.

No human society has lasted even a fraction of those 500 million years so anything we do now to beat that is going to be moot anyway
Hm.. I feel no difference there between my native language and English. I use the latter every day, and everything I read (and I read a lot) is in English - I've only read two books in my native language the last thirty years or so. I don't feel any difference in how I can express myself.

However: I am kind of a different person when I speak English. My personality changes. Not for the worse though (and that's where I don't agree with the "and not in a nicer way", that's not how it is for me).
Tbf you could say stores happen in order, and loads can happen out of order unless you fence. Personally I don't understand why we need such strong ordering constraints for weakly ordered reads—istm you can go much weaker and maintain sanity.
This is correct on the symptoms (it's harder to make a living now) but still missing a full understanding of the causes.

Much of this comes down to debt. After the GFC, US government debt went from 60% of GDP to 100%. After the pandemic it shot up and settled at 120%. [1]

Countries don't function well with this level of debt. Inflation is a way of dealing with debt without explicitly raising taxes. But it's the most regressive possible way of taxing people.

If we talk about loving our children- non-functional government debt is simply stealing from them- our children have to pay it back. That's 25 trillion of public debt. The debt to revenue ratio is almost 7- that's 7 years we want our children to work to pay for the things we are doing now. [2]

Debt is useful when it creates more value long-term than was otherwise possible. However, much of our government spending produces less than one useful dollar of value for every dollar spent. The most obvious being the trillions of dollars spent on most of the recent wars. I am not a libertarian- choosing between big or small government is still a mistaken line of thinking. The government should be doing things for us, but doing them well (productively, a dollar in produces more than a dollar of value). If they can't do them well then its probably better to do less until they can figure out how to do them well again.

The nphysics physics simulation library for gamedev used this approach of using fixed point math whenever cross-platform determinism was wanted, with CORDIC. Nphysics however was deprecated.

The newer Rapier library (which is a rewrite of the nphysics) instead relies on the guarantees of IEEE-754 2008 to provide cross-platform determinism, which means that it doesn't work with old platforms, but it is deterministic across modern platforms, including wasm. And yes, you can't rely on the transcedental routines provided by each platform (like sine, cosine, etc), those need to be implemented in a way to work the same everywhere. But, this is possible if avoid running on non-compliant platforms.

Votes and Money are overrated. It's possible to change legislation without being in office and on a 0 budget.
I don't have the t-shirt, but i've been there and have done it.
Everyone can.
The focus on votes and money makes people feel more powerless than they really are, this in turn, harms democracy ~ actually is at the expense of civil/individual power&influence.
I wish an open standard won, but the reality is that in 2024 even in open source, it’s going to be easier to grow a Discord community than a Matrix one because more people habitually use Discord.
It's a bit weird that bcachefs is in the kernel, from what I understand there's still a lot of work to do on it. Would be nice to see more corporate sponsorship behind it, it's quite promising. Still not confident using it over ZFS.

I felt the same as you back then.

If it makes you feel any better, my life is significantly better at 36 than it was at 28! I look better, sleep better, feel better and am more knowledgeable about the world around me.

That said, the drive I had in response to that urgency to "make it" (back then, it was to get past the $200k ceiling and pay off student loans) is a big factor behind why I feel like this (both accomplished several years ago...after 30!)

Keep learning, growing and exploring; there's no age limit on that!
Why is that? What’s been happening on the ground?
I mean yeah. Giving someone new information can change their behavior if they incorporate it. But pushing them to act in a certain way.. Probably not, unless it's coercive, which is bad for other reasons.

As a Senior Full-stack engineer with over 7 years of experience, I have contributed to many stages of startups.
I like to use most efficient and effective tool for the given situation.

I love problem-solving for given situations, including designing clean, scalable, and efficient architecture. My primary focus is on how to deliver products fast with an acceptable standard, and this gives me dopamine. I build things as simply as possible in the early stage for higher productivity, and I don't do over-engineering.

I understand what you're saying quickly without much context, and I can make you understand complex problems without a long explanation.

I've been working remotely for a long time in a cross-cultural environment

If you want to hire a man who gets the job done please contact me.

Cheers.
0% of those who accept Israeli government wholeheartedly, choose to live as law-abiding citizens, and teach their children to do the same (similar to many Israeli-Arab and Druze populations today).

100% of those who actively support the eradication of Israel and driving every Jew into the sea.

In the middle, it may need to lean to less tolerance due to the reality of democracy and demographics, but I'm not sure.

My hope would be that most would fit in the 0% category.
"Skam" is a bit different because even though it's produced by NRK it got so popular elsewhere that NRK is licensing it to other countries. So they aren't free to just dump it freely worldwide.
Tuning ZIO for High Performance
It seems off topic but yea I get what he’s saying, all countries are basically in this mess together because of climate change.
I loathe the respective arguments that each side makes.

On the counsel (municipal) side, you have a bunch of people who have convinced themselves that we need to punctuation to let computers more easily read names, which is ill-informed in the way computers work.

On the other side, you have the classic “it’s just not right” garbage with a tinge of “our great English standards are going to hell in a hand basket” which is ill-informed on how language evolves.
> To wit, the negative effects of technology are simply an increasing function of how advanced it is.

Laughably easy to disprove. Gunpowder is less sinpler and older than antibiotics and sterilization techniques. Are you saying that somehow the negative effects of saving people from lethal and debilitating infections outweighs the negative effects of greatly increasing the our ability to kill eachother?
Yes, I apologize to all who downvoted me, someone told me OpenVPN was still the more secure choice for a VPN.
Makes me wonder. What would it take for Mac the tech to have this sort of feel/appeal again?

Would a full wintel+nvidia gpu daughterboard move any needles? Or something oddball and hardware like the lamp imac, idk.

Basically, computing nowadays feels very well baked and staid at times. Stuff like a unixy subsystem feels experimental in ways computing hasn't in decades.
Anyone with eyes can see adding more than a million people since COVID began without laying the groundwork in terms of residential capacity or healthcare capacity can see the impact. It’s kept wages suppressed, house and rent prices inflated, and family docs MIA.

As I was waiting in a long checkout line at the grocery store (one checkout line was open of the 8 available) I looked up the owners. Turns out it is a subsidiary of a regional grocery owned by private equity. No doubt there is some calculation of cost benefit.

I took the survey on the receipt I got and told them it was clear how their private equity ownership degraded my experience, and that they need to hire more cashiers.
Well, about a year ago he put a 2 year ban on foreigners purchasing homes. But his reason for doing this was housing market fluctuations due to COVID. Due to COVID?!

The housing market has gone to insane levels. Certainly it's not all due to foreign buyers, but why as a citizen would I want to compete on the global market for our homes? The answer is I never want to complete globally for something that should sell locally. But government never wants to stand in the way of inflows of foreign money.

Anyone I know with a home in Canada expresses the sentiment, 'thank god I got in when I did or I'd never own a home.'. And they're right, they shouldn't be, but they are.
Mom's what?
I do. Although most of them are scrambles.
I've never seen an office culture that minded people taking a walk (unless the team was in war room or something). A lot of workers go out to buy lunch anyway.

For hourly production workers that have to clock in/out and may only get a fixed 30 lunch break then it is more difficult.
I was pretty sure myself that must be the case, until I raised kids in a trilingual household, and it's not even close. Children's natural ability for retention and adaptivity with language is truly mindboggling to witness. A child can overhear a new word once in passing, no explanation but context, and use it in conversation out of nowhere six months later, correctly. It's far from just more time.
On the contrary everybody is on discord and not being on it will turn off the vast majority of people cause I wont open matrix just for your software.

The real real numbers–what are they, really?
Looks like it. I was curious to witness this homoiconic Python but I'm not sure it's even possible. For that to be true, Python syntax would have to be made out of tuples, lists or dictionaries, and the interpreter would have to evaluate those directly.
for those of us comfy with the console:

If this is entirely build using open-source software why not open source the site itself? Especially if you aren't planning to turn it into a commercial service.
They can. The media will do everything in their power to distract people and prevent them from identifying the things truly causing their problems. As long as people think the main problems in America are immigrants or trans people or racists, they won’t look at who is picking their pockets.

(This isn’t even to say there aren’t real problems. But they have enormously outsized influence.)

Any politician who correctly identifies these issues will be labeled as fringe. So likely the only solution will be local politics.
> Interesting to note that this is what the Amish actually do.

It is indeed. I would argue that many people make this choice; we pick which technologies and tools make our lives better. The right and ability do this is one that I think our society would do well to protect as it promotes freedom, accessibility and choice.

The Amish differ only in doing it as a more cohesive social group and on a larger scale.

Came here to ask the same thing. I don’t have enough context on this score.
The most interesting part to me is the relation between the hardware and the software.

> And at the end of the day it still has more pixels, which matters because not everything is high-contrast text.

Apple has a weaker software but is getting saved by better hardware. And that's of course not an isolated situation: I'd argue the mac also is getting weaker software wise [0], but the hardware is pulling it ahead of the competition in many respects. The iPad is also the poster child of that trend.

That's the reverse from the PowerPC situation when they had weaker hardware but more dev mindshare and nicer user experience bringing people into the fold even as they couldn't compete on raw performance.

[0] Windows has caught up on the *nix integration and hidpi/energy efficiency front, linux has gotten better support emulation layers (especially Proton), while macos has been fighting devs to make it more iOS like.
I've thought about this for awhile and can't decide if it's because we've rightfully shaken off an uptight bourgeois culture of dinner parties, china, and china cabinets, or if it's because the people who think they're middle class have fallen so far down the well that they can't afford to even pretend they're rich any more.
Yes, this article simply introduces the basic concepts of abstract storage for beginners. It's a very high-level introduction, which I think is well done for developers of managed languages, such as JavaScript.
I don't think the author is saying that views aren't fragile. Requiring every view and orm dao to have that annotation is fragile because you might forget it.

Impossible in a single step, but perhaps impossible is too strong a word to reject the possibilities that arise when we consider how the statistics of words, or sounds are connected. If you can work out the statistical correlation between groups of sounds you can start to gain an idea of how they are interrelated. This is a stepping stone on the path to understanding.
Color me shocked that trying to teach a teenager not to think about themselves so much is going to fail.

Mindfulness only works when you put the effort in to seek the equanimity it provides.

I think it's hard for kids to make being calm and composed a virtue. You kind of have to get there as a consequence of experiencing a lot of chaos.

I think 2 hours of sport before all school would do more for most kids. Even if it was just a 2 hour walk outdoors.

Alternative: I disagree that violence is an alternative at all, I think our war tools and tech reliance and knowledge industry siloing is too advanced and significant global conflict will ensure ends to these ways of life. I think violence can be necessary but we tend to have a history were it sure is necessary a whole lot and the places we grace tend to erupt in it too. I’ll try yo present a vision for an alternative. I realize I’m an idealist. I am not an optimists. I would love if we could all hold hands, I realize that is impossible.

Small part of my world event view point: Russia has or is sending nuclear weapons into spaces, BRICCS is a thing, various US alliances are shifting to other centers of power. Many people the world over feel like the American boot has been on them (and they aren’t wrong, US history does t and couldn’t have thing
time to teach even a small amount).

Framework I propose as opposed to shoot back harder and faster:
we stop seeing every possible thing as world Enders, moral imperatives, urgent action items. A lot of people who have not really experienced life threatening war situations are so quick to thrust not just themselves but their cousins once, twice, and 6 times removed into chaos. I understand your political and moral view points are important, keep fighting the good fight but keep it figurative.

We stop low key following Hammurabian Code of Laws (eye for eye).

We increase defense, actually harden these systems, and decrease offense and stop dubious us led foreign political interference , increase public transparency, we tamper back foreign influence (aka corporations), we increase dialogue.

The fact remains, if we continue to act in the same manner and things continue to escalate, why is it going to change? Things are escalating.
He did mention debt towards the end. Debt is certainly part of it, but not the entire picture. I don’t think the substantial increase in teen girl suicide is because they spend too much time reading up on debt numbers.

Predicting Results from Small Samples
I use FF because I want to browse the web without being signed in to everything.
I don't believe this is true, the only knob to tune is for relaxed or strict alignment checks for DKIM and SPF.

How do you configure DMARC to require both of DKIM and SPF?

The RFC says:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7489#section-4.2

A message satisfies the DMARC checks if at least one of the supported
authentication mechanisms:

1. produces a "pass" result, and

2. produces that result based on an identifier that is in alignment,
as defined in Section 3.

I think the takeaway of how to succeed with this kind of project is good, but a missing element for why so many kind of never take off that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that a lot of times the compatability of these alternative implementations is in practice lower than claimed even for old language features. E.g. it’s very common for Ruby and Python apps to have some native C extensions somewhere in their dependencies, and AFAIK the major alternative implementations have never supported them. (They’ve tried sometimes, but it’s never really worked out for obvious technical reasons, and the alternative of expecting libraries to provide multiple implementations has a rocky history as well.)

Combine that with the fact these languages are often used to make CRUD websites where I/O is likely to be a bigger performance factor than CPU and the faster alternatives look a lot less appealing.
For me Ubuntu and Fedora give me nostalgia for Mac OS 10.5 and earlier. They remind me of that pre-iPhone era when software was shared via websites, when code signing and developer accounts hadn't become a thing yet, when the App Store was a radical suggestion, and before the OS became locked down with security and sandbox "features".
The problem is no sword fights or basketball courts :/ it also feels strange to randomly do something like a few pushups at the office whereas at home I do it all the time.

I only use Copilot for my day job, because they paid for it. When I'm coding my personal projects on nights and weekends I find myself missing Copilot and I'm contemplating paying for it myself. I don't really trust it for everything, but sometimes it surprises me with how much it gets right.

I just can't justify paying $19/month personally for the "Business" plan so they don't use my proprietary code to train their AI.
I believe the audience for this article is those who use managed languages. From a modern perspective, this may have some value for those who have been involved in managed language development from the beginning.
