I think nobody’s discussed yet just how few people likely use the Windows Store app version of Netflix.

Windows has basically no marketshare on tablets compared to iOS and Android. You can kind of sort of consider the Surface Pro to be one but those users are using them much more like traditional PCs.

The Windows Store not even that popular within Windows itself.

I’m not that surprised that Netflix isn’t prioritizing support for features on that platform.
"Cross-platform: Leveraging FLTK[1] & Cocoa[2], Spot works on Mac, Linux, and the BSDs with plans for native Windows support in the future."

I'd seriously recommend that you consider cutting this. Perhaps keep the lessons you've learned to retain future flexibility, but get good on one toolkit first. GUI toolkits, GUI bindings, GUI in general drowns you in details as it is, volunteering to drown in several different underlying toolkit's details may sound appealing because you may feel like you're growing your metaphorical market, but what you will almost certainly end up with is doing all toolkits badly instead of even one toolkit well, and that won't be good.

We've all heard about how the first 90% is 90% of the work, and then the remaining 10% is another 90% of the work. GUIs make that look like hopeless pie-in-the-sky optimism, where the first 10% is 90% of the work, and then the next 10% is ten times the work, and then the next 10% is another ten times the work. Trying to be cross-platform will strangle you.

However, based on my experience with some similar previous discussions, I don't expect you to immediately buy and agree with my arguments. What I'll really suggest then is to keep what I've said here in the back of your mind, and when you find you're staring down the three toolkits that rigidly require a three-way mutually contradictory way of handling rich text or something, then think back to this post and consider giving yourself permission to drop all but the best-supported and/or most popular underlying toolkit.
The article itself is useless spam.

However, it is interesting that it _almost_ makes sense. It's the uncanny valley but for prose instead of an image/video.

Jujutsu! Git-compatible and a generational leap in source control that most people are going to love.

As a former member of Meta's source control team, I believe this with pretty high confidence -- many of the workflows that we rolled out within Mercurial/Sapling, and caused it to consistently be the most loved developer tool at Meta for many years based on surveys and interviews, have been adopted and improved by Jujutsu. See my testimonial, the first one at [2].

(Disclosure: I'm obviously biased towards the Jujutsu workflows, and its creator and I worked together on Mercurial. But I like to think that this specific belief of mine is pretty data-driven, both via stated and revealed preference.)

Jujutsu has 100% cured me of those exact fears. Here are some ways I deal with them:

- I don't know if there will be conflicts when after some operation. I just do the operation and see what happens. If there are conflicts, I either deal with them, undo the operation that caused the conflict, or make a me commit somewhere else, leaving the conflict to be dealt with later.

- I know there is going to be a conflict. In this case I may duplicate the related branches and either try to reconcile them ahead of time, or try to do the conflicting operating and walk through resolving it. If the conflict resolution gets gnarly, I can either undo portions of the resolution and keep trying, put it off and do something else for some time, or abandon the whole tree.
"Do it all yourself" is a far cry from "don't put all your eggs in the same basket". The latter principle I agree with, the former not so much.

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis:

"The idea of linguistic relativity, known also as the Whorf hypothesis, the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis (/səˌpɪər ˈhwɔːrf/ sə-PEER WHORF), or Whorfianism, is a principle suggesting that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview or cognition, and thus individuals' languages determine or influence their perceptions of the world."

Seeing as "(leaky and scrapped) refrigerators are damaging the upper atmosphere, allowing ionizing UV to reach the ground and cancering the everyone," actually happened and AFAIK is disputed by almost nobody, it's not that implausible.

A user can't be blamed too much for assuming a $2k+ laptop with Pro in the name supports multiple external displays. A 2013 MacBook Pro can drive two external displays. But the base M1 and M2 MacBook Pros can not. The base M3 apparently can with specific hookups and a specific connection procedure requiring you to close the MacBook's lid but can't use standard docks with DisplayPort MST like other laptops can.

And I say this as someone who bought and uses a used M1 MacBook Air and knew about the display limitation when I purchased it (and almost went with a used Mac Mini instead due to that limitation).
It's not possible to alter commits with git. They are immutable. You can only make new commits that are based on existing ones in some way. The distinction is important, because the original commit (such as a commit pre-rebase) still exists after it's been "changed".
Another alternative would be to use macros instead.

> The competition can run multiple displays.

So can quite a few Mac models on the Apple website. Pretty sure that “the competition” has a model or two in its product line up that is not as powerful or capable as another model it sells.

As for all of those other things you said…I have tiling shortcuts on my Mac via a lovely little program called rectangle that does so much more than Windows ever could. I have literally never ever wanted or needed a clipboard history but there are plenty in the App Store if I did. My Mac doesn’t open up my music player when I connect my earbuds (took about 15 seconds to disable that in settings)…and fun fact, my earbuds move between my iPad, Mac, and iPhone pretty much seamlessly which is really nice. I do carry a decent USB-c hub that weighs about 2 oz, so your right about that…but the power adapter that I use that can charge my Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, and earbud case weighs about a tenth of what my wife’s Windows laptop power brick weighs and fits in my pants pocket, so I don’t mind that extra 2oz in my bag.

But hey, you buy the machine you want for the reason you want.

Abelson, R. P. (1995). Statistics as Principled Argument. Psychology Press.
https://www.routledge.com/Statistics-As-Principled-Argument/...

> In this illuminating volume, Robert P. Abelson delves into the too-often dismissed problems of interpreting quantitative data and then presenting them in the context of a coherent story about one's research. Unlike too many books on statistics, this is a remarkably engaging read, filled with fascinating real-life (and real-research) examples rather than with recipes for analysis. It will be of true interest and lasting value to beginning graduate students and seasoned researchers alike. The focus of the book is that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence, using a form of principled rhetoric. Five criteria, described by the acronym MAGIC (magnitude, articulation, generality, interestingness, and credibility) are proposed as crucial features of a persuasive, principled argument. Particular statistical methods are discussed, with minimum use of formulas and heavy data sets. The ideas throughout the book revolve around elementary probability theory, t tests, and simple issues of research design. It is therefore assumed that the reader has already had some access to elementary statistics. Many examples are included to explain the connection of statistics to substantive claims about real phenomena.
> What is the purpose of this?

It's a demo application of the research team's C compiler front-end [0], and demonstrates its automatic type inference feature. The compiler front-end itself is intended to be a general-purpose library to power high-level static analysis tools. While this demo itself is not very useful, being able to do static analysis on incomplete code snippet is certainly extremely useful.

I should have been more clear. I am referring to Google's goals. Humanity as an abstract concept or you personally may have other goals, but, well, perhaps I am a cynic, but I think Google's goals are rather more monetary and less idealistic than they would represent. They don't want or need (as other replies correctly point out) the AI to always be correct and accurate. Along with general cynicism with regard to any conceivable AI's ability to do that, it is also fair to point out that the web itself doesn't have that ability either. We can't even find an objective yardstick to measure an AI with that way. Google's goal is to make the bad press go away so people use the AI more so that in the indefinite but ideally near future this AI can be monetized somehow to justify the interstellar valuations being ascribed to this technology in the "if it isn't happening in two fiscal quarters or less it might as well not exist" US/Western financial markets.
Svalbard is not a country, but a remote archipelago of Norway.

The main island, Spitsbergen has a population of 2.5k people, they don't allvuse the Internet (certainly not all at the same time), and they do not pay for gigabit home internet, more like 75Mbps.

For reference, the Southern Cross fiber network connecting Australia to the U.S. does more like 10+ Tbps.
The reason homeownership is fine is that there was a burst of home purchases in 2021 right before interest rates went up, and the US has fixed rate mortgages. We know it's fine though because of national statistics, eg:

> I couldn't afford it if I wanted, now.

Sounds like you own it though. So you could afford an equally priced piece of land if you sell that one. Most people's houses are the largest component of their net worth, so it of course looks bad if you leave it out of the calculation.

(This is why blocking housing construction is bad for the elderly though - it makes it hard to downsize so you can't use your housing net worth towards retirement as easily.)

Other approaches which many people do include having your parents help with the down payment or inheriting.

And of course land value tax would solve this. So would upzoning, which would allow 10x more productive use of the land.

The Problem with Behavioral Nudges
The Soviets (now Russia) and the United States have had the power to unleash nuclear devastation many orders of magnitude worse than what we did to Japan for decades yet we've managed not to do it, despite many, many bad faith acts on both sides. The idea that a group of greedy nerds accountable to nobody but their rich investors is more responsible than that is ludicrous.
Yes the US bombed two cities with civilians, however remember that we were in a state of total war with them, and the contemporary analysis predicted far far higher death toll into the millions using traditional methods. Most Japanese soldiers fought to the death rather than surrender, and those unable to fight were to commit suicide. Civilian populations were being prepared for civilian resistance in force, as in attacking with bamboo spears. It would have been a door to door fight with death tolls in the millions on both sides. Death tolls predicted by both side were unimaginable.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#Operation_K...)

It is easy to judge the actions of our grandparents and great grandparents with the information and technology we have now and 80 years distance. Were we in their place I am not sure we would have made a different decision given the information and technology of the time. Further given the difference in death toll predicted with the alternative and the death toll attributed to the bombing, while the results are heart rending and horrifying I am not convinced it was ultimately the wrong decision.
Some things can be fun as well as slightly informational. Not everything is a research project.

Abstract - admirably concise and accessible:

> How will the emergence of ChatGPT and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI) affect the skill premium? To address this question, we propose a nested constant elasticity of substitution production function that distinguishes among three types of capital: traditional physical capital (machines, assembly lines), industrial robots, and AI. Following the literature, we assume that industrial robots predominantly substitute for low-skill workers, whereas AI mainly helps to perform the tasks of high-skill workers. We show that AI reduces the skill premium as long as it is more substitutable for high-skill workers than low-skill workers are for high-skill workers.

I don't know if I agree with the "literature" as represented here. It seems to thoughtlessly conflate low-skill with blue collar and high-skill with white collar. I would expect the impacts of AI on wages to vary across skill levels of white collar workers.

How else do you really keep up on all the crazy new stuff
The Aha moment for Lisp can not be read.

You have to write code and experience it.

I mean, of course it has same cool constructs, but, at least for me, its the experience of writing code with it that makes it shine. And that kind of thing is intangible.

The iterative development experience is part of it. But, at least, the code I write has a rhythm to it, and I don't write other languages the way I write Lisp. Even at the 10,000 foot level, it's mot the same. For example, I tend to write more, smaller functions. Like Forth, its very easy to refactor Lisp. Being iterative and interactive, it supports and encourages that kind of thing.

Write a little thing, test it. Write another little thing, building on all the other little things, test those. (Note, not "write tests for them", just...test them. In the listener. "Good! Moving on!")

Find something that interests you, preferably something that's not "let's glue all of these other libraries together". Something that's going take 500-1000 lines. And, just write. Learn as you go, don't worry about being idiomatic.

See if anything pops from that.
Yes but in this case it's a weak form of security, for a significant efficiency loss. I'm sorry but I don't really believe that most businesses would look at this tradeoff and decide it makes sense.
They do more than skirt laws and ethics. A large amount of fishing vessels operating in several regions around the world practice outright slavery. Working-age men are lured into debt-bonding to work at sea indefinitely for no wages up to 20 hours per day with little to no food until they succumb to exhaustion, injury, or disease, or if they show signs of resistance, are executed as an example to the other enslaved men. When someone dies, their remains are thrown overboard. Most accounts of this have only surfaced because people have bought the freedom of some of these men, who are seen as nothing but a labor resource, bought and paid for usually directly by the captain, in order to catch otherwise mostly unprofitable fish. If an industry is prepared to engage in slavery, playing fast and loose with international borders and environmental regulations is of course not a concern to that industry.
The point is that it's difficult to differentiate salt water from regular water.

I think you also misunderstand. If given the choice, I'd rather die of dehydration in the ocean than in the desert. They both suck but that one seems better (having spent significant time in both regions). You'll get sunburned in both but in the desert there's nothing to cool you off. You'll be much more likely to survive longer in the ocean than desert, even if we ignore food availability.

So you're giving a really unfair interpretation because no one is saying they're equally bad. They're (I'm) just saying that you're going to die in both situations

As with anything in language, remember that your job is to figure out what the person means, not what they say. The words they use are a signal but it's compressed and fuzzy (especially on the Internet where we have many cultures -- big and small -- interacting with many different expected commission and decompression expectations).

It's always possible to gravely misinterpret anything anyone says, no matter how carefully they say it.

This is the only good take. Obviously you need the expertise to write effective regulation that limits harm and externalities while still allowing important technical development. But that authority should come from the state, and nothing near anything run by VCs or big tech firms. Otherwise you wind up in regimes like the one we're in now where we still don't have comprehensive privacy policy regulating companies like Google and Meta.
