I wonder if this may be related to FDR serving four terms as President. If he hadn’t died in office, and had term limits not been implemented in 1951, he may have had even more terms than that.

Note that this includes things like strikes and boycotts. Obviously non-violent but many people complain immediately when a protest inconveniences their commute by 10 minutes or something.

We’ve got this warped idea that a proper protest is when some people gather in some designated area that the authorities allow them to, and they don’t inconvenience anyone. That’s absurd when you consider what a protest is about.
I have heard from people who paid for a Jepsen test that he is eye wateringly expensive (and absolutely, rightfully should be, there are very few people in the world that can conduct analyses on this level) but maybe achievable with a gofundme.

I am not sure, for the same reason, that designing a DIY Jepsen suite correctly is really achievable for the vast majority of people. Distributed systems are very hard to get right, which means that testing them is very hard to get right as well.

We've Hit Peak Theater (Broadway)
As someone who mostly left the business side of the theater world behind for the world of VC-backed startups in the mid-2010s, it’s very odd to watch my new world become so hyper-focused on figuring out how to be either profitable or at the very least much less unprofitable, rather than just throw money at the problem like they have for decades and hope the company becomes the next Facebook or Amazon, while my old one is taking the concept of pouring more money on the fire and hope they are the Hamilton to new extremes.

Difference boils down to the fact that VCs are dependent on low interest rates, while Broadway is reliant on old rich white people to invest with a eye on prestige and profits being icing on the cake.

This, plus the brief return of meme stocks and the resurgence of crypto, is making me wonder if the American economy still has a much larger bubble that’s soon to burst. And as a tech worker who earlier this year finally joined the rank of folks to get a layoff notice in recent years, that’s kinda scary.

Thanks. Yes, I looked at AvaloniaUI, Uno, Xwt, and MAUI before finally deciding on AvaloniaUI. It's not been entirely frictionless, there are some glaring omissions, the documentation is not great and the learning threshold if you're not really good with WPF is pretty high. Still, it does work, and I have the app running on Windows, Linux and macOS with very, very little platform specific code.

No, you're right. I guess what I'm saying is Google is a bit disappointing considering they are probably the company who has contributed most to developing consumer level AI over the decades. I'm not suggesting they don't have the ability, or the will, they just sadly seem to have been caught out by the speed of recent developments. I hope everyone can live together and deliver something of value to us all. Have a great day! :)
What you're describing is the UI/UX design paradigm of prosumer tools like blender. Unfortunately, despite how important this class of software is, SV seems to have institutional blindness to how and why this kind of software is even built.

For example, we have the greatest opportunity in a generation for someone to build "photoshop for text" i.e. a proper GenAI based LLM tool with similar design choices. LMstudio is the only even close example of this, and they're not getting it in the way that blender does.
The bit about peaceful protest being more successful than violent ones is misleading.

People go for violence after the peaceful discussions have failed or aren't possible (I see terrorist orgs in that same boat, there's no middle ground to discuss in the first place). And if these people didn't have the power to move the needle through standard negociation, they'll rarely have more power in a violent fight so they're usually bound to fail from the beginning.

It's all the more true in regimes where the target of the protest has the mean to physically crush the whole population.

I believe that some day there will be a terminal app you can sit a kid down in front of, and they're be able to fix a typo without any frustration or special knowledge. That day hasn't yet come.

In BASH, set $EDITOR to whatever you want - even a GUI editor - and then hit (by default) ctrl-x ctrl-e and it'll open the current line in your editor and when you save+close the editor the command will run.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85391/where-is-the-... seems like a decent discussion of the feature, and its footguns (it does execute whatever was in the buffer when you close the editor without confirmation), and even some talk of how to improve it a bit.

Only if the programmers are doing it wrong. I add unit tests from day one not because I'm just that disciplined... honestly I think my discipline may even be a touch sub-average compared to a lot of programmers... I add them from day one because they speed me up, starting somewhere around the third week or so (so we're not talking years before it pays off here). I do not understand how programmers are OK with making a change and then only finding out later that they broke something distant that they wouldn't have thought would break. It would be so frustrating. Or decide to refactor something in week 4 without unit test support.

Your janky code guy may beat me in the first month but after that I'm quite likely going to pass him and never look back.

>Also, ofcourse you can change the software of a software defined radio. Why do we even have to mention this here ?

You've interpreted their hand wavey marketing statement far too literally. Of course a plain vanilla bluetooth hardware + software stack won't be able to communicate with a satellite. They are saying that you can run their protocol on standard bluetooth chipsets for people who are designing NEW products. Loading a custom protocol onto an already certified product would nullify its certification. Why do we have to mention this here ?

I'm always shocked that small ICE equipment don't have catalytic converters, or any emissions reducing devices. Especially given the operator is actually holding the thing and the exhaust is just a foot or two from their face, surely the health consequences are capital letters bad.
At least with respect to the influence of the Earths rotation. With respect to compensating actual camera shake, the modern systems correct 5 axis's. 3 for rotation around the 3 space axis's, and 2 translational, which leaves only motion towards or away from the motive uncorrected for (which usually only expresses itself in the need of refocussing, but that usually is far beyond camera shake, except for macro photography).
It's absurd when it doesn't inconvenience anyone who can do what the protest is about. It's like when UK schoolkids "went on strike for the planet". No one who could've done anything was bothered, and no one who could do something about it in the future was educated.
> Maybe it's just a UK thing but I can't think of the last time I even saw a non-electric lawn mower

UK here. I've been using a petrol mower for the last 25 years. My lawn is 40m long. I do own a 50m extension cable but it would be a real hassle for grass cutting. My three adjacent neighbours also have petrol mowers.
Yes, but then unless you're really into poetry, or some poetry critic, none of that matters. For everyone else, all that matters is that it looks like a poem should, and that it makes the reader feel something.

Instrumental vs terminal values, I guess. Makes me think of coding - the overlap between good code, and code that makes money, is nearly empty.

Exciting to see the state of the terminal evolving! While there's a lot of legacy to contend with, efforts like Microsoft's new terminal are definitely steps in the right direction. It's a fascinating area to watch, and I'm curious to see how tools like the alternative shell and terminal emulator mentioned will shape the future of text interfaces
> you should've said so in the previous comment

See the comment I originally replied to. “Horrifically broken”, “many steps” and so on.

Also, for me it is often about as fast to type as with a hardware keyboard thanks to swipe typing. Perhaps I think slow enough that it’s not a bottleneck. Pity you all fast thinkers, I suppose.

Editing is sometimes a bit slower, but also depends.

Well. BBC. Their title contradicts their article which says: "And although the exact dynamics will depend on many factors, she has shown it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change." which is more believable.

I think it's an interesting topic. You probably want to read the original research if you want to get better insight. Naturally with all things human it's not an exact science. Also should we look at the population of China or the population of Hong Kong? Presumably if 10% of the population of China was protesting there's some chance of a political change.
A very real problem. Also power supply/chip tolerances and a little extra gunk on a pin somewhere can line up unfavorably.

Personally, I had tons of power issues due to underspec cables with a Pi4. Irritating.
I moved from T-Mobile to Visible, and my SO from AT&T to Visible. It was well worth it, we now pay $80 combined with unlimited 5G (incl. cellular for our watches) and have had no issues. We've been to concerts (Taylor Swift) and never had any issues with our connection. So far, this was a great choice.

There's nothing wrong with the .NET resource system with culture-specific satellite assemblies etc as such. The bigger problem I see is lack of tooling and services for translation by non-developers, volunteers, professional translation bureaus etc. You can't expect them to fire up Visual Studio, clone your repo and start editing resx files. Especially as there's not even a translation view! With .po files, there's a ton of editors, online services, translators etc available.

If you like the idea of using D3 for data visualization but you want something a bit higher level, check out Observable Plot[1], a library by the D3 team that adds a lot of conventions and conveniences on top of D3, specifically for building plots, charts and graphs.

And even beyond that, there's Observable Framework[2], a static site generator for building visualization dashboards (that supports Plot, D3 and lots of other libraries).

That's useful feedback for us! We can improve our messaging.

The simple answer is yes:
Our focus is code first, from modeling to charts and dashboards, and not self-serve.

We often found that keeping BI applications/dashboards organized is very difficult so we're adding engineering practices.

Although I haven't gone through all the source material in detail, and am certainly not qualified to give an opinion, hey, it's the internet:

My instinct is that surely nearly every violent campaign is preceded by an unsuccessful non-violent one, i.e. the low hanging fruit of change is always picked by the non-violent movement before people turn to violence. Thus the problems which violent campaigns attempt to solve are by definition more difficult, and success less likely.

Hi. I think that's the normal dynamics when an expert in a particular subject discusses something with laymen. I'm not a researcher, but I have applied a range of formal methods for software verification for about a decade on systems ranging from safety-critical real-time embedded software to distributed databases. I constantly learn from people with a similar or higher level of experience. Even in my comments today you can find me mentioning a technique I only learnt about relatively recently from the people at Antithesis (I'd known about it since FoundationDB, but I didn't know as much about the details of their state exploration heuristics).

It is one of the greatest disappointments of my carreer that that group is still small; even most researchers don't have much experience in the mainstream application of formal methods, plus they each tend to focus on a narrow range of methods. The vast majority of practitioners care about correctness, but very few explore approaches other than simple testing or use of simple type systems; even something as basic and as old as non-trivial assertions -- which is a form of formal specification -- is underutilised.

BTW, a complicating factor is that verification techniques often don't extrapolate well from one application domain to another; a method that is effective for cryptography may not be effective for distributed systems and vice-versa.

Well over 3.5% of Syria’s population fought back against their oppressive regime (peacefully, before the government reacted with violence), but I guess this rule doesn’t account for dictators willing to use biological weapons and call in foreign mercenaries and air strikes from Iran and Russia in a desperate bid to cling to power.

So I suppose there needs to be some rule of law or a red line the people you are fighting back against won’t cross.
The sad truth is that a lot of senior corporate leaders, by the time they get promoted up to that level, if they ever had useful skills (in management or anything else) they’re usually long atrophied away. Since at that level of nearly all companies of any meaningful size those jobs are pure politics (jockeying for influence, fighting for resources in yet another reorg).

If you want to improve in your career don’t listen to a thing these people say (unless you need to learn about public posturing).
As we have seen, you can be very stable at ones utmost intellectual level year after year, and sometimes it can amazingly be someone who is naturally the complete opposite of advanced anyway.
Google Fi is not deprioritized AFAIK and it's been discussed in the MVNO subreddit a bit.

That being said, most ARE and they are damn near unusable now in places that are growing.

Here in Orlando, Mint mobile can't even stream Spotify if you are stuck in traffic, that's how bad it has gotten. Forget being downtown or at an event of any kind.

I use Google fi specifically because its not lower priority.
Are you using a Google Pixel 6/7/8 ?

Its widely accepted that Google Pixel's radio is weaker than the competition. Google stopped using Qualcomm chipsets on Google Pixel 6. (Or the last time Google used a Qualcomm radio in its phones was in Pixel 5 generation).

I'm sure Google is working on making its radio better, but it still a shame that of all the things they decided to cut to make it cheaper / hit the $600 pricepoint (instead of the $800+ flagship tier) is... the radio.

On the other hand, I hear that Qualcomm is basically raising prices behind the scenes, which is what's causing all of this in the first place.

Jazz has a curious duality. Instrumentalists are often told to learn the lyrics so they understand the phrasing of the melody. Conversely, vocalists are often told to listen to instrumentalists performing the same song. So both are trying to approach an ideal performance from opposing starting points.

> First of all, there have been several languages that regions in their type system and are still backed by GC, so this is a strawman

Is it? He's not claiming that GC somehow makes it impossible to have strong local reasoning. He's just saying that, for whatever reason, the designers of most languages have made choices contrary to that goal. Which seems obviously true to me. Counter-examples exist of course but looking at the mainstream GC'd general purpose programming languages (Java, C#, Python, etc) it is true.

> Third, the whole point of static types is to slice apart the heap into independently non-aliasing parts using this technology called "classes" and "fields"

The whole point according to who? "Object-oriented" design means many things to many people and from what I understand the original idea was gesturing at something that we would now call the "actor model" which legitimately does try and carve up the heap into non-aliased, owned data structures which can only be mutated through message passing, but OO as it is actually implemented in the real world seldom even approaches those original goals. And languages like Java do nothing to prevent you from storing mutable references to the same object in multiple different objects.

Think of it this way. Say a group of people are protesting a Walmart being built in their downtown district. People are out in the streets, traffic is jammed up, and "people who can't do anything about it" get pissed off. Commuters are mad, the local businesses are mad. So these people "who can't do anything about it" call their alderman, mayor, whatever "You need to do something about these protests, it's affecting my business/commute".

It adds pressure for those in charge to capitulate and stop the protests. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand.

Edit: I can't reply to the comment below this for some reason, but ok they send the police to break up protests against Walmart. Which looks absolutely terrible. "Our mayor sides with Walmart over the people." That adds to the narrative and is paradoxically possible a net positive for the protestors.
