I think they might be accurately rated. If they were underrated perhaps they would have flourished after iPhone/Android came out (more for the coolness factor than the utility factor, since on mobile they have the issue of something being blocked by your finger, which I think limits it but isn't a dealbreaker). However, donut chart menus haven't been catching on. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39206966

I think they're cool, and that's about it, that the Fitts's Law benefit is too small (as argued in the thread I linked), and that the coolness factor fades fairly quickly for most (though I still want some sometimes).

Insanity.
Unlike in C, in C++ it is not possible to use an independent implementation of the standard library.

Clang is compatible with GCC's standard library/libstdc++ and MSVC's standard library because the clang compiler explicitly supports them, but it's not possible to use clang's standard library with GCC in a standard conforming way or interchange GCC's with MSVC's standard library.

There are some hacks that let you use some parts of libc++ with GCC by using the nostdlib flag, but this disables a lot of C++ functionality such as exception handling, RTTI, type traits. These features are in turn used by things like std::vector, std::map, etc... so you won't be able to use those classes either, and so on so forth...
I guess it's a tradeoff. Ideally you'd want a small enough page size such that pages are unlikely to be split across multiple LBAs, but the performance wouldn't be good. Standard filesystems don't really guarantee LBA alignment anyway.
I was writing a book a few years ago that I have long since shelved, all about the longevity of information. The base premise was a mental experiment, what if we don't succeed in over coming some key fundamental issues of society and we end up in a long term energy decline position. How long would it take to go back into a dark age and just how much would we have preserved.

Basically about the life time of SSD's (20 years) , CD's (10-40 years) , Floppy disc/magnetic tapes (5-50 years), vinyl records (30-120 years), books (high/low acid paper)(50-500 years), clay tablets (centuries/millennia) and eventually spoken word (tens/hundreds of millennia). Seeing as how much of the internet has gone dark both through lack of economic incentive or accidental erasure - it was not the most cheery conclusion. About how the more efficient we get with information storage, the more brittle it becomes. But also the longer information can last, the more it is liable to be changed with time. Think like the game of telephone.

The big lesson take away I made from it all was that, it isn't so much the medium but the information. If it is useful or cherished, it will live far beyond its original medium. Knowledge of hygiene will live a lot longer than season 3 of Survivor on DVD. Video games are cherished and many are living way beyond their original medium. We will loose 99.99% of all data produced over the last few decades but that it mostly stuff that nobody had any need or desire to keep - and that is totally fine. It is basically a natural filter for quality, and while we may be concerned about what we may loose, ultimately a quality statement will be made. Information about the taxation system of 1956 will not last as long as the I Ching which has already gone millennia.

Solving puzzles? Then you don’t care who will buy your results.

The joy of outsmarting people who thought that they can match your skills? Ditto.

Making the world a better place? Then you can choose your buyer. Love your country? Sell to your country’s IC. Hate your country? Sell to other countries ICs (discreetly, of course). Hate governments in general? There are buyers for that. Hate corporations? There are _a lot_ of buyers for that. Whatever are your convictions, you can find someone aligned.
Neonatal nurses 'resigning amid Lucy Letby fallout'
It’s refreshing to hear that last paragraph. Honestly, sounds like the difference between hobby programming and professional engineering.
I'm not an ML person and am just learning from this article, but I understand a little bit about ML and the key thing I get out of it is the footnote in the diagram.

A regular neural network (MLP) has matrices full of floating point numbers that act as weights. A weight is a linear function y=wx, meaning if I plot the input x and output y on cartesian coordinates, it will generate a straight line. Increasing or decreasing the input also increases or decreases the output by consistent amounts. We won't have points where increasing the output suddenly has more or less effect than the previous increase, or starts sending the output in the other direction. So we train the network by having it learn multiple layers of these weights and also connecting them with some magic glue functions that are part of the design, not something that is trained up. The end result is the output can have a complex relationship with the input by being passed through all these layers.

In contrast, in a KAN rather than weights (acting as linear functions) we let the network learn other kinds of functions. These are nonlinear so it's possible that as we increase the input, the output keeps rising in an accelerating fashion, or turns around and starts decreasing. We can learn much more complex relationships between input and output, but lose some of the computational efficiency of the MLP approach (huge matrix operations are what GPUs are built for, while you need a CPU to do arbitrary math).

So with the KAN we end up with few but more complex "neurons", made up of complex functions. And if I understand what they're getting at here, the appeal of this is that you can inspect one of those neurons and get a clear formula that describes what it is doing, because all the complexity is distilled into a formula in the neuron. While with an MLP you have to track what is happening through multiple layers of weights and do more work to figure out how it all works.

Again I'm not in the space, but I imagine the functions that come out of a KAN still aren't super intuitive formulas that look like something out of Isaac Newton's notebooks, they're probably full of bizarre constants and unintuitive factors that cancel each other out.
Oh, nothing dumb about antitrust. It is an important regulation. Good to see it being upheld.
For me, it would be "Theatre: An interactive night of horror"[1], the first interactive fiction work I ever saw. I actually did email him 20+ years after it was published, asking for permission to remake it non-commercially, and he was like "yeah ok whatever". I haven't really gone anywhere with that, but perhaps one day I will.

(What's more shocking is that he came from the same country as me and his company was named after a place I'd actually been to. That doesn't happen very often.)

I ate at the Monastery many times during my postdoc a decade ago. With all but the 200” telescope fully robotic, it was already a pared down experience from the glory days reminisced about in the article. Still, it was and is a beautiful site, and the hospitality and proximity to history always made it a memorable experience.
I think AMD has that too in its app, but if your graphics card driver is crashing in windows, your screen is freezing. Windows might try to restart the driver or so, getting the screen working briefly, but then it crashes again and ultimately it fails completely, you can only press the power button on your machine then.

The ecosystem of Servo is very very different. It's very modular and many components are fast moving targets developed by multiple companies. While with ladybird it's a comparatively singular thing (developed mostly by a single guy).
The embedding is a serious and ambitious effort and possibly one of the reasons why Mozilla dropped it.
It has to support vast array of ecosystems and compete with a very mature and widespread electron/chromium to cover the same use cases.
It's a massive effort, but is already being experimentaly integrated by companies (like embedding into Qt toolkit).
I'm pretty sure every civilisation used to work 7 days a week. 5 days became the norm for us.

Korea really did earn its way off the back of its now elderly population slaving away for a better future for their kids. But right now the middle age people are slaving away for a better future for themselves and it's at the cost of the younger people rather than for their benefit.

Any advice to Firefox users who want to do the same? I don't use Chrome or its derivatives.
Logitech mouse driver had something similar — the middle button (which was configurable) used to show a 3x3 grid of icons that you could click or simply release the mouse button over. This allowed you to easily close or minimize windows (I never used anything else, so I don't remember what other functions it had).

However, a few years later, they removed it from the driver, and Windows 7 couldn't use the older driver. So, I made a AutoHotkey script that displayed the same grid as a plain jpeg and then activated some action depending on the mouse coordinates within that image.
And on a more selfish note, MUCH easier to maintain! A real win win move.

Correct. Minute userbase equals no leverage to extract tolls. If they ended up with the sort of dominant position they had at one point with IE on Mac they'd do this very thing and more.

There aren't many shenanigans that MS didn't pioneer in the 90s.
You won't get a sense of how bad exceptions can be by using Godbolt. A lot of the magic of exceptions is handled behind the scenes by the compiler and/or the Itanium ABI. For example one disasterous consequence of using exceptions in GCC is that there is a global application wide lock used to manage stack unwinding.

This means that only one single thread can unwind a stack at a time and the lock is held from the start of the exception being thrown until the very last destructor is called. If you have a multicore server with 100 threads, and one of those threads throws an exception, you better hope that no other thread throws an exception because even if those two threads are entirely independent of one another, one of them will block.

You won't see this by looking at Godbolt.
I know many people who did take multivariate calculus, group/ring theory, and thermodynamics in high school, and think this should be the norm. I believe I consider "high school" math what most people consider "undergraduate", and everything up to linear algebra goes under "middle school" in my mental model (ages 12-14). So, I'm probably one of those people propagating, "ML math is easy, you only need a high school knowledge!" but I acknowledge that's still more than most people ever learn.
And to simply put, Servo has a much larger scope, their aim is much wider than making a browser. The browser will be one of its use cases (It's already being developed intensely in the form of Verso by different team).

Is there an idea here that you could write out a script and then compile out a Python implementation (for example?), given you have the `Record` code, for example?

I have had a decent number of times where if I was told "write this code in this Python DSL, and then you can do interactive theorem proofs just on that bit", I would be pretty satisfied, even if it meant really cutting down what kind of objects I could use in the process.
No, it's a "we need the stock to rise for the stockholders this month so we're going to burn hard for no reason".

Funnily enough Australia uses this very idea for terrorism.

The salary only depends on what you look like or who you know, not what you do. If you're a beautiful chef and can avoid rapists bosses, you can work on a yacht for 2-4 times as much as a chef in an average restaurant and only work three month a year, studying the 9 other months (someone I know is in M1 doing this). If you're a normal chef (or even working at a starred restaurant you don't own), good luck getting the opportunity. And you'll have destroyed ankles, back and feet by the time you're 35 (incidentally, I do not know any second or 'chef de partie' (don't find the translation) over 30yo).

This is a really nice dev-friendly API, could see it becoming a compelling go-to for eg indie hackers who have moved simple view analytics to reasonably priced tools like Plausible/SimpleAnalytics over the years.

In some ways it feels like Loggly, worth taking a look at their query/dashboard system as it has some really nice tools for clicking around to slice and dice graphs using unstructured data.

In the suburban city we live in, the city looks the other way if no one complains when it comes to certain rules. Like for instance, you can't keep a dead car in your drive way(unless you are repairing it) or backyard, you can't have a dead tree in your front yard for an extended time. You must keep your yard grasses below twelve inches in the summer, except, we know now because we asked, for a pollinator garden. I'm sure there are other rules I don't know about. I'm also sure that in most towns and cities there are rules similar to these.

However, I've never seen these rules enforced unless someone calls in. The city does not have an enforcement squad who inspects the neighborhoods. On my street, my next door neighbor is the street busybody. She called in on me once because of a tree that died in early spring and by mid-June I still hadn't removed it. The city worker told me I had two weeks to remove the tree or they would, for a fee. I explained my tree guy was busy and he said no prob, now he knows it will get done.

So, we asked about the pollinator garden just to be sure.

I don't think you can. We don't really own our minds.
We already have prototype electric aircraft. As battery costs decrease and battery performance improves, it makes perfect sense that aircraft will electrify. The reason for this is economical, not environmental. Electricity is cheaper than fuel, and maintenance for electric vehicles tends to be less than their combustion equivalents. Both of these factors mean that once the batteries become cheap enough, cost per passenger mile will be lower.

If you decrease the potential market for a product, companies will put less R&D into those products. In the US, general aviation is less popular than horseback riding, which is why we're still using leaded gasoline and piston engines.
Other than bank specific custom extensions, another problem with this standard is its scope and, consequently, its size – it is vast. ISO 20022 breaks down into over 700 what they call «messages» that cover pretty much everything, from the interbank settlements to bank-to-customer account statements.

Another challenge is that different banks may use slightly different versions of the standard messages that are enunciated via the implementation specific concrete XML namespace in the xmlns attribute of the message envelope.

Overall, ISO 20022 is an improvement over MT940/MT942 and friends, although it is not easy to use.

QEMU isn’t cycle-accurate, but would be a good start (and probably good enough). Just run some benchmarks and whatnot there, and use a tracing tool like Cannoli to capture instructions.

If you need real instructions (without an emulator like qemu doing its own translation and messing up timing), you could use a simulator like Gem5. That’s a bit more work and a lot more compute per simulated instruction.
I think you're confusing defaults with lock-in. Safari, Edge, and Chrome are native browsers tightly coupled to their operating systems. They can't be removed.

Further, anytime a user has to connect to an account for email, calendars, and other essentials, the OS will direct them through the native browser app. This means the so-called "popularity" reflects little more than the number of active devices: Android > iOS > Windows.
