> For example, nowadays, parents expect their children to be free to go and do groceries alone or play outside without adult supervision only at around the age of 10 to 12 (if not even higher).

Except, parents nowadays can get arrested for even less. [1]

Google Jigsaw study finds Gen Z folk heuristics of credibility
« Gen Zers, it turns out, are "not on a linear journey to evaluate the veracity of anything." Instead, they're engaged in what the researchers call "information sensibility" — a "socially informed" practice that relies on "folk heuristics of credibility." In other words, Gen Zers know the difference between rock-solid news and AI-generated memes. They just don't care. »

> Consider little indie studios, for example.

The little indie studios that I buy my games from are all pay once?

> Quite often, free to play can end up costing people less money. Case in point, I played CSGO for 10+ years and spent less than $5 on it. If I had bought the game when it came out it would have cost $20 or so.

Someone else paid $2000 for hats or whatever CSGO sells in the same period to cover the $20 you and other 98 players haven't paid.

And the game design and development effort went towards making those hats so the whales can buy them.

Any free to play game would have been completely different if it were designed as a pay once game.

I’ve used this in production. It’s great.
There was a bootstrap era, where everything looked the same. Then there was a materialUI'ish era, this was weaker in dominance because the design is more controversial and often downright bad in UX. Now we are in tailwind era.

Not hating, it looks and works ok and I understand spending time on custom design is not something you should optimize for as an early stage era startup.

But I do miss the times of mid noughts where people were playing with styles (css zen garden anyone?)
Yeah, like there is/was no crypto bubble.
decline of third spaces due to suburbanization, urban decay, and decline of religious participation.

Of course, it's going to get much much worse due to COVID. I wouldn't be surprised if the change in death rate due to the COVID lockdowns (which drives kids to screens to an even greater degree than anything here) dwarves the number of seniors lost to COVID itself.

At the end of the day, I think time will vindicate the anti-lockdowners and indict those calling for strict lockdowns. It's a major social contagion, and I don't think one we can easily stop.
I don't understand how one can be bored in this situation.

You can learn a new language or to draw. Read novels. You can start writing a program or a blog: write it on a different computer, but you are in this situation nobody cares anyway.

You can listen to podcast, even binge watch a tv show discreatly.

You can practice maths, go back learning things you wish you spent more time learning in school.

You probably can even start a business if you are careful no to leave trail.

But also: you can put money on the side, and prepare to leave.
Yeah, but as he says in the video it doesn't really make sense if you are not on the same pixel grid. It is kind of implicit in the design on pixel fonts.
I have been in a position where all I needed to do was show up everyday and get paid regardless of whether I did anything or not, I found it demoralizing and eventually quit.

I thought "Don't worry about it, because you won't get an answer. Also if you don't do it a specific way, things will break" was Apple's methodology.

I miss the old Google way. The geeky engineers that said "What if we delivered internet via hot-air balloon?" and "Verizon sucks ass. Let's start our own ISP". Current Google is comparitively locked the fuck down, and I hate it.

EDIT in time to say oh my god I thought you were joking. Their stance literally is "We care about your experience and want to keep you informed".

What... corporate-friendly language
Cheap money should make investing in machinery easier and make labor productivity go up.

The opioid crisis should make workers and their availability more unreliable. This should also lead to businesses investing in machinery and improving labor productivity.

Lack of universal health care and SS should make workers more expensive and again provide an incentive to improve labor productivity.

All these may or may not be problems but none of them are a reason for productivity to stay low. In fact, quite the opposite.
States need to adopt safe harbor clauses for parents. A particular part of a town / city being unsafe for kids should not be seen as the parents' problem, but an indictment of bad city planning, services, and management.

EDIT: Also this story is insane. Who sees a neighbor kid playing in their yard and calls the police? I'm going to generalize here and speak about my fellow conservatives (because Florida is a solid red state at this point), but I've noticed many have little interest in actually living in a conservative way. In the 'olden days' people would just invite the kid in because -- you know -- you knew your neighbors and thought they were good people (or at least tolerable people). Nowadays, it seems everybody just ignores their neighbors and minds their own business. Not that it's only conservatives who do this (far from it; it seems systemic).

Imagine calling the police on your neighbor's kid!

EDIT 2: From the article: "The authorities claim he had no access to water or shelter". Again... can you imagine being a kid in your own neighborhood and not being fairly certain that, if you needed it, one of your neighbors would give you WATER? I know all the kids on my block and regularly invite them over to play with our kids if we're all outside, and have no compunction giving them water? For goodness' sake, the person phoning the police should have been arrested for not undertaking the most basic neighborly duties to a child.

My comment included a lot of stock phrases and low-thought words. “Authoritarian regime,” etc.

Sorry. That was poor style on my part.

I also made some sweeping statements about media coverage in other countries.

Sorry. Low thought on my part.

I was trying to give credit to some folks who deserve it, but instead I made what looks like a State Department press release.

Sorry.

I’ve been trying to spend less time writing these comments out. You can spend a day on a couple paragraphs. Not a good use of time.

I’ll be more careful in the future.
I'm not sure you got the idea. You wan't be charged for "tracking", but will be for getting keywords your site ranks for. So one page (50) of keywords your site ranks for would cost around $0.05. You can do it twice a week, resulting in 8 requests/month, $0.4 total bill.
I've been trying to setup a pipeline of pass through hdmi from an HDMI input to an HDMI output with an OrangePI5 Plus. I could talk for a long time (now) about the issues with vendor supplied kernels and unsupported hardware. I was completely naive until I had the hardware in hand, having not done any embedded work.

Right now, the best of breed thought that I have is to run Weston, have a Qt application that is full screen, and to use DMA buffers so I can do some zero copy processing. Rockchip has their own MPP and RGA libraries that are tied into the Mali GPU, and I'm not smart enough to understand the current level of driver/userspace support to not leverage these libraries.

Rockchip and the ARM ecosystem is such a mess.

one thing the author touches on that I'm curious about--
> academia is nowadays the exact opposite of free speech and the scientific method

I always see this bandied about as axiomatic, but I'm really curious if:
a. this pertains outside of "softer" subjects and and the liberal arts
b. this isn't a case of overblown media coverage of the occasional "how dare you say XYZ".

I'm a little skeptical of it because I know SV types love to pooh pooh academia, but I went to a devotedly conservative college (and a decade ago) so I'm hoping to hear from someone with recent experience and a lack of that implicit contempt for formal education.

obviously the pro-Palestinian protests exposed some serious issues with respect to speech on campus, but I'm more curious about the typical daily experience of students. are the morality police really so widespread, or is it overrepresented and limited to individual overzealous types and colleges like Oberlin with a reputation for such?

I'd figure that the "status" it symbolizes is some combination of:

- Juvenile any-excuse-to-say-I'm-betterism

- Convenient stupidity

- Willful ignorance

- Gloating that they're in the 0.1%, and need not care what is done to the bottom 99% in the name of catering to their petty wishes

(But I'll admit that, if enough of their social circle has such "luxuries", then they're stuck in a "I am in Rome, so ..." situation.)

It looks like you need to use conditional compilation to use Loom, which probably works okay for testing one library, but is pretty intrusive:

#[cfg(loom)]
pub(crate) use loom::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;

#[cfg(not(loom))]
pub(crate) use std::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;

I wonder if there are any languages that do a better job of letting you use your own scheduler?
A full rewrite instead of finding a way to gradually increment already feels like a lot of risk. Asking your core dev team to potentially pick up an entirely new skillset in Rust would introduce too much on top and probably cause people to flake from the project.

Totally agree something like Rust would be good in a vacuum, but existing contributors and ecosystem would present problems. Having tooling built in the same ecosystem as the end product makes it way easier to contribute.

When did they remove the ability to have multiple vaults? I'm assuming this is really recent as I'm currently using it with 2 accounts and each has 5 or 6 vaults in it.
Yes, this. It appears these commenters are claiming that the author said something they did not say. Rather, there is a corner case that the author has not spoken about in this article.

... Which is not surprising, given that we're talking about a language with a spec that dwarfs most works of human literature for sheer mass.
The "AI" toothbrush, stupid as it is, actually pre-dates the current hype by years. Here's a review from 2019: https://www.forbes.com/sites/leebelltech/2019/06/30/oral-b-g...

This is true of and only if they actually create AGI. Otherwise it's value destroying given the huge costs associated with producing what are essentially very good chat bots.
>Kids also become overprotected in other ways, such as not hearing other views or not being able to handle opposing views. No wonder academia is nowadays the exact opposite of free speech and the scientific method.

I wonder how much the scientific method went into coming to that conclusion.

Also if anything we are way too exposed to other people's views. Before you could speak to someone random and there was a much higher chance that their opinions were unique because they weren't the next person who binges on r/all. We had many more forums and less recommendation algorithms driving what we consume. Now you overhear people talking about something you just saw the other day online in public all the time.

It is similar to how globalisation is making everywhere feel the same whereas in the past people had completely distinct cultures from one country to the next.
Yes, that Word. Imagine if we'd been focused on improving reliability this whole time...
i'm glad research and publications like these are coming out, and they only seem to be getting more popular/picked up by the media (Podcast Center for Humane Technology?)

is there going to be such an increase in momentum here that we actually see a change in 5-10 years? if younger millenials and now gen z are the ones taking the brunt of the impact, and are now becoming more aware of it, surely the societal/political movements will continue to gather pace.

is it just a matter of how well the social media companies can manipulate politicians/general populations perceptions of their own lives to prevent any kind of change?

to me a huge shift feels crucial and inevitable, but i know this perspective isn't common amongst my friends, especially those out of tech

The AI bubble folks are sitting in roles that are not doing the cutting edge AI work at companies that have figured out what to do with it in the first year that it’s been practically useful. I sit in such a role and I know we have done absolutely amazing things that have significantly improved our margins. The key though is there is no “manual” or playbook yet, and anyone doing substantially advantageous work is holding on it as a trade secret for now.

This is the fastest I’ve seen any technology deliver meaningful value in my 35 years in tech and with much less established practice than most. It’s going to take years to fully bed down all the uses, the tooling to make it usable in various contexts, and for the basic technology itself to reach a more efficient and effective technique.

There is almost certainly a bunch of ventures that started too early. A bunch that are misguided. A bunch that will contribute a lot of understanding but will disappear having evaporated investor money. But that’s the way new foundational technologies -are- . That isn’t a bubble that’s how new markets behave.

The challenge is it’s hard to distinguish when rational growth and a bubble sets in. It feels hard sitting in my seat seeing the varied ways we are using this technology as a bubble yet though. There’s a lot of productive work and research and investment to go before we get there.

> Perl was the language best suited for text manipulation because of its early popularization of regular expressions.

It was awk, grep, sed, and lex that popularized regexpes before. Perl attempted to agressively replace awk and sh, even shipped or still ships the a2p.pl script to perform limited awk-to-Perl code conversion. What Perl brought were Perl-style regexpes with capture groups and back references, which are still not characterized in terms of formal language theory when good decision procedures were the entire point of subsetting lexical analyses from eg context-free languages or other more capable models, which is particularly odd considering Larry Wall is a linguist.

A while back I was using Simple as my bank because their app was the best budgeting tool I'd been able to find. Once it shut down I moved to a spreadsheet, and by comparison it was super painful. I basically replicated the app's functionality as a webapp, with a few tweaks to better fit how I was using it. Currently I'm still entering transactions manually, but I'm slowly building a Plaid integration to automatically import transactions. I'd probably have it done by now, but my current bank made some changes that prevent me from connecting it to Plaid so I'll have to change banks again before the integration will be able to pull in 100% of my transactions. I can't say it'll never be publicly available, but I don't have any current plans to release it.

I recently read a new idea of why PHP is useful to people - it's the lowest-overhead server-side Web page language available. If you want a tiny amount of functionality, you write a tiny amount of PHP and don't have to do anything else. So it scales much, much better in the tiny-to-medium-sized project range.

(I can't personally vouch for the claim but it's the best explanation I've heard for how such a reviled language has survived this long.)

I have perl code I wrote in 1992 that still works properly, without changes. The binary executables have changed ISA from MIPS 4 to x86_64, and are compiled fortran (gfortran). There's even a switch I use to be able to read the large endian binary files in gfortran.

My c code from 1996 requires rework. My C++ code from 2014 requires rework (I had to do this with others code as well to use a std capability). Python code rarely survives 3.6 -> 3.12 never mind 2.7 to 3.x. I worked at a company that had (very unwisely) written a massive part of its infrastructure in Py2.7, and was using it a decade past its expiration date.

Perl just works.
