I think it's unfortunate to not have headers as part of the client request and/or server response. I think headers can add a lot of extensibility and future proofing for use cases that can't be anticipated now. Especially when the culture and/or inspiration of the protocol is oriented to hobbyists.

e.g. Using spartan protocol as inspiration [1], a client upload request could potentially be:

example.com /upload/africa.mp3 3145728 1 <CRLF>
Content-Type: audio/mp3 <CRLF>
<binary stream>

Where the "1" in the request line stands for one header to follow. Or maybe it's just not needed at all, assuming you like HTTP's line break between headers and message body.

This borrows from HTTP a bit, but other approaches could be viable of course. But this would give the protocol much more extensibility and allow more freedom for inspired implementations.

> At the end of each difficulty tier, you unlock a new song that's accompanied by art specific to the track. Daft Punk's "Technologic," for example, has an old-school TV screen that flashes images and the band's name as notes stream down bars that are much shorter and shaped differently than the main game screen. Moby's "Disco Lies" also uses short bars that unfurl from what looks like the mouth of an alien designed by a nine-year-old using MS Paint. (And that's not a slam to the artist -- I think it's very cool.) Once you finish a boss track, that song become parts of the track list on the next tier.

> Unless you want to stab your ears when you hear techno, Tap Tap Dance is the best music game on the App Store right now. The note placement and control sensitivity is just right, making it instantly playable to anybody. But Tap Tap Dance doesn't hold its fire. By the time you reach the hard tier, you are getting a serious thumb workout. With excellent song selection and super-cool graphics, Tap Tap Dance is a pleasure to recommend.
Definitely agree with this, last time I was at the EA charger I thought it was comical seeing Rivans and Audis waiting for an IKEA truck (ford van) that was creeping up from 95%.

While these measures will help, the reality is that EA did not invest in enough chargers per location.

(I'm not very involved with the Rhombus project. I just post there a comment from time to time.)

I think that the macro system can handle the traditional "if X ... else ..." structure, but there is a design decision to avoid magic keywords like "else" as much as possible, like "in" in "fox X in Y: ..." Why should each construction have a different magic keyword? Can it be solved with only one thing that is shared in all construction like "|"? If you see the examples, all the other constructions with branches like "cond" that replaces "if" with "elseif" or "elif" ir whatever use "|". "match" also uses "|". This is better if you want to write macros that extend the language and have a similar structure.

(For what it's worth, I insisted in that "if" uses two "|" (one for each branch, instead of one only for the "else" part.)

It’s interesting, because I admittedly don’t drive so consistently, I do 80 miles round trip a couple times a week and might not drive at all on off days, but I’ve found 120V 12A to be completely sufficient. That’s true even with the charge limit typically set to 85% SoC. Of course, if I drive a bunch and then drive again the next day it’s not full, but it’s no big problem once the initial range anxiety wears off.
I feel like those are missing a bear.

There is pbchess for Chess. It supports multiple ereaders. If I recall correctly, it includes a few other games and applications. For IF, QtFrotz was ported to Kobo devices. (For what it's worth, the main drawback with IF is the lack of a hardware keyboard on most e-Ink devices.)

> If you weren't going to enforce the existing laws what's the point of making a new one?

A ban can take effect immediately. A legal prosecution for cartel behavior can take many years.

The evidence that "pricing software" was acting like a cartel wasn't immediately obvious and took time to collect. It wasn't until rental prices refused to fall in the face of increased interest rates and increased vacancy that people starting looking for "What is going on?" So, accusing people of sleeping on prosecuting cartel behavior is more than a little disingenuous.

"Pricing software" is simply another aspect of "outsource your illegal behavior". This idea that you can insulate yourself from illegal behavior by outsourcing it needs to get hammered, hard.
Purely as a matter of interest, Compuserve was founded in 1969 as a business offering time-sharing on minicomputers. It opened to the public in something very much like the form you're remembering in 1979. This later date is roughly contemporaneous with the first BBSes.

I also remember Compuserve in the same mental slot as AOL and Prodigy, but it considerably predated them.

Yeah no. We are talking about a tenant, ripping the doors off the walls pulling up carpet, stealing and selling the toilet, white goods, cabinets. The destruction and damage being so complete it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair, and this is not a one off occurance.

These small minority of tenants impose significant costs on public housing, which then means the government doesn't have the funding to build more houses.

A lack of minor maintenance as you describe is due to shoddy contractors ripping off the government, doing a sub-standard job. They are responsible for doing that maintenance, and cut costs by avoiding call-outs until its significant and then do a half arsed job fixing it.
I can see a future where I mainly use "hobbyist" protocols and have largely abandoned the Web. Or at least the 99% of it that requires JavaScript... although I don't know of any functioning non-Chromium/non-Firefox browsers that will plainly render HTML5/CSS and are missing the 30 million lines of Google/Mozilla code that I don't want on my computer anymore.

I am American, but living in Japan - the tomatoes here are nothing like the ones pictured but they taste so much better than anything I ever had growing up, enough that chilled tomatoes with salt on the side is a common appetizer in many izakayas. I didn't realize that tomatoes could be so tasty on their own until I left.
If they aren't selling well, that's probably because 14th gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) and especially 13th gen (Raptor Lake) are actually last gen old stock products. This is made even more obvious because Costco usually has all those "Core Ultra 1" (15th gen, Meteor Lake) branded laptops nearby.

We've been on 15th gen (Meteor Lake) for quite a while now, with 16th gen (Arrow and Lunar Lakes) presumably coming later this year. I sympathize with Costco wanting to move all that old stock out now rather than later.

As someone who is interested in eventually freeing myself from the corporate job and diving head-first into my side projects, I would love to hear more about this aspect.

For some reason the idea of trying to charge folks for the work I would normally do for the fun of it on the side is daunting to me, even though I know it could enable me to focus on doing the stuff I love full-time.

I hear you, but gas stations make money, right? Can't Tesla adopt the same model and lease parcels of Supercharger land to convenience stores?

If you are correct that they are a utility and should be priced low, then Superchargers would be detrimental to Tesla's stock price and should be spun out as a separate utility company with lower margins. This would create a better EV experience, thus furthering Tesla's goal.

>Restaurants are mentioned three times, but restaurants are a relic of class divisions from around 1900, where a patron is pampered by servants, while leaking money in all directions. So their continued existence is surprising,

Huh? Restaurants have been around since ancient times, in societies across the globe. Here's a Wikipedia link for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant#History

Modern-format restaurants have been around since the late 1700s, but there's plenty of records of people eating in food-serving establishments in ancient Greek and Roman societies. I'm sure other, even more ancient societies had similar things, which are now lost to history.
at what point does a well-read high school-level LLM graduate to college? I asked one about Reinforcement Learning, and at first it treated me like the high schooler, but I was able to prod it into giving me answers more suitable for my level. Of course, I don't know what's hallucinated or not, but it satisfied my curiosity enough to be worth my while. I'm not looking to change careers, so getting things 100% right about in the fields of chemical engineering, civil engineering, or economics isn't necessary. I look at it as the same way I think of astrophysics. After reading Steven Hawkins book, I still don't really know astrophysics at all, but I have a good enough model of things. And as they say, all models are wrong, some are useful.

If I were a lawyer using these things for work, I'd be insane to trust one at this stage, but the reality is I'm not using my digging into things I don't know about for anything load bearing, but even if I were, I'd still use an LLM to get started. Eg the post didn't state how the author learned anything the name for the dropped letter O, but I can describe a thing and have the LLM give me the name of it. there's an emphasis on getting things totally 100% right does erode trust, but you get a sense for what's could be a hallucination and then check background resources if you get enough experience with the tool.

Have you ever run a website or online service? Whenever I've put something online, there's inevitably at least one person out there who's bored and unemployed with technical chops, who makes it their full time mission to abuse it for months until I figure out how to outsmart them. The Internet is full of these micro-tyrants and I never see anyone complaining about them. Most operators just throw their hands up in the air and depend on protection services like reCAPTCHA to make the pain go away, which always want something in return. Google is like what Paul Erdos called the "Supreme Fascist" (SF) for that reason. Every time you do something bad on the web, Google gains a little more power.

Yeah, Secure Boot/Measured Boot is also needed to resist against persistent compromise in the virtual world, which is arguably much more problematic and has a much longer history of actual application in the wild. Chromebooks for example are designed so that even with a full system wide exploit that compromises the kernel, a reboot will return the system to a consistent and uncompromised state.

(An interesting parallel is in the mobile ecosystem where things like untethered jailbreaks, i.e. persistent ones, for high end targets are nearly non-existent. Similarly, existing attacks from things like Cellebrite for high-end devices like Pixel/iPhones are generally classified in terms of things like whether they are vulnerable before or after first unlock of the device where boot chain security is strongest, and there's nearly nothing in terms of persistent compromise, downgrade/replay attacks, etc.)

The problem isn't just the propaganda fight, it's that it's basically a heisenbug. Intel, a few months ago, blamed these very failures on motherboard manufacturers and claimed they were overlooking and the failures at that time were their fault.

Unless you do a very thorough timeline, you might be confused. But go dig into the last 6 months and you'll see that Intel has either no idea or are absolutely muddying the waters. Neither of these cognitive conclusions should result in Intel looking anything but half rate purveyors of silicon.

Twitter has this algorithm that shows ads based on "interest", but the way it derives "interest" is based on the ads it has shown you, and the ads they show you are mostly garbage. They give you this settings page so that you can see all the "interests" they have forced on you. You can remove those badly inferred interests, but the page resets every day.

Twitter is not just a tool with bad defaults, but one that actively disrespects user preferences. "Openly hostile" seems like a fair assessment.

But they still have more users than some other place.

>In China the state owns the land, not the municipalities, nor private parties, so even if you live there you don't have much of a say.

You're confusing cause an effect. The reason why people there don't have much of a say isn't because they can't own land. In fact both are caused by the same common factor: the country is communist.
You're assuming society can function with only businesses that are well run enough to be able to pay a livable salary, which is quite a daring assumption even if it's one we'd all like to be true.
Oh how I emphasize with this story, it too reminds me of my childhood.

When I was a child my grandmother grew tomatoes that were truly delicious. She used to pick them just at the right time when they were ripe-red and lusciously sweet on the outside but just retained a hint of green on the inside. This gave them a slightly acidic edge that one just doesn't get with over-ripe tomatoes or ones that are ripened slowly. I'd add that the ideal ripening also requires good sunshine.

Her tomatoes just spoiled me forever, I've never been satisfied with tomatoes purchased in shops, whilst some are just OK most commercial tomatoes are tasteless compared with ones that are freshly picked at their optimal ripeness.

It seems to me there's no ideal solution when it comes to commercially distributed tomatoes, they have to be picked before they're at optimal ripeness for efficient transport and distribution and it's just fact that tomatoes just don't ripen off the vine to give them that luscious taste of vine-ripened ones.

Frankly, I find some canned tomatoes better than ones that one buys in shops, they definitely can have more flavor. Canned tomatoes like those from Italian canning companies such as Mutti retain flavor because they are picked at just the right time then canned immediately. That this is noticeable even after the canning process shows just how critical it is to pick tomatoes at their optimal ripeness.

These days I get most of my tomatoes in the form of small cherry tomatoes, they at least retain some of their flavor after the distribution process.

Just for what it's worth, for all the talk about botulism in all these stories, the US had just nineteen cases of confirmed food-borne botulism in 2019 (the last year I can see data for); about half were commercial, and 4 were an outbreak linked to "home-prepared fermented beluga flipper".

I don't think fermented hot sauce is taking anybody out. At least, not that way.

(I'm fascinated by this because it's an article of faith that you can't store garlic confit or garlic oil in the fridge, but it's very difficult to find a case of anyone contracting botulism from cooked garlic, and when I get taken out by a case of garlic botulism, you all have my permission to write your dunks directly onto my gravestone).

I use it for boilerplate, totally uninteresting and boring code. Stuff like Bash parameters validation (it's only validation, so the damage when it hallucinates is quite limited and usually quickly shows up) and Google spreadsheets formula generation, stuff like: "extract ticker name from the OCC symbol in the previous column, write '-' instead if it's empty". It's really boring stuff to do manually and it's actually faster have GPT 4o generate it from me from the sentence than write it myself.

Typically there is fixing needed (e.g. it shall fuck up things as trivial as parentheses placement) but it's still useful.
