I spoke to a guy who had the same opinion recently

Absolutely refused to watch any kind of news or to follow politics whatsoever

In the same beat he told me in complete seriousness that a small town near him in Michigan had apparently been turned into Ghana-city after getting a million migrants from Ghana.

An information that he had heard from an older colleague on the shop floor of his factory

That would be the entire yearly immigration flow of the united stated being exclusively from Ghana and going exclusively to a small town in Michigan

It's a claim so outrageously easy to dismiss if you're even remotely informed that it makes you wonder what else that guy might believe

Just how exactly are you supposed to have a working critical thinking mind when you don't have any data in your brain to lay the foundation for it? The guy has the right to vote, by the way

So, yeah, obviously I'd disagree. You can't make smart choices without good data and getting the news contributes to this whether you realize it or not. Plus, democracy is more than voting freely, it relies on having educated and informed citizens to function.
I love mermaid but agree the visual customization is too limited for many use cases.
For practical performance of alternate intonations, you can tune a guitar so that a particular chord shape presents perfect roots and 5ths, while arranging for a single string to be a perfect third (e.g, a few cents "flat" compared to equal temperament.)

When playing this same chord shape (or an appropriate derivative) up the neck, the relative intervals is maintained for other chords, allowing perfect intonation not just of the root chord but of other chords in the key family.

For chord shapes where a flatted string cannot be used as a 2nd or 3rd, it will sound objectionably flat, but for many chord shapes it's possible to fret the flat string with additional pressure to bring it back into tolerance.

Mastering this technique makes the guitar sound much more in tune with itself which is a wonderful sensation as a player.

Hi git fans!
The big limitation that's very annoying with any WASM setup is that at the end of the day you still can't call many APIs or scrape sites because of CORS. Ofcourse, CORS is important to avoid XSS and the like but I wish there was a way to deal with this other than setting up a proxy to strip CORS, which then leaves you with a non residential IP that's more likely to get blocked.
>Epic on the other hand bought some fridge native software and made sure that you can’t run it on your fridge anymore.

But it _can_ still run, you just need to install a new piece of software (EGS) that you don't want to.

The reason the software wasn't available on the other platform is due to restriction of the platform maintainer (not arguing whether Apple should or shouldn't have that right).

It's been a while since I've played Rocket League (I purchased through Steam), but I was under the impression that it still runs and updated via Steam, but new users don't have access to download except via EGS. Am I off target there?

A nuke can be good considered in itself (effective at leveling a city), and bad considered in relation the person who presses the button and thereby commits mass murder.

It is the latter that makes nuking a city a bad deed.
If git doesn't need a server, then why do you need Github?
Nicely done. Years ago I had the idea of projecting my Kindle library onto the wall to look like a bookshelf. Stopped at the idea stage.
I'm not privy to the details as a sysadmin but based on observation its either an application requirement or legacy foundational codebase carried forward -- probably a combination of both.
One definition of consonant intervals are those that share many overtones/partials in common [1]. This reduces the phenomenon of "beating" which is readily perceived as unpleasant dissonance. (Though small degrees of "beating" can be pleasant.)

It's worth a read. Author composes a particularly heartfelt sell; it's for a recurring fundraiser for an adjacent non-profit. He blasts the mailing list and a lot of negative-posing-as-helpful responses start populating the mail thread.

Lots of donations also come in but zero donors add to the thread - ostensibly because each believe they're alone and don't want criticism directed at them.
> It's a brand for people with money who want to flex on the poor.

As a user of Apple devices I agree with the first part (unfortunately - their RAM and NVMes are much more expensive than anybody elses) but not with the second. I live in Europe where every second person I meet has an Apple device, so it's hard to perceive it as a status symbol.
For that matter, online community sites generally do okay for staying informed of local news and events.

On the national level, it's partly a matter of commoditization. Most national or global News is so well reported, usually, you're going to find many sources.

Media bias and govt collusion, perceived or real, is another reason why some are looking beyond traditional media sources alone.

That doesn't even get into new media and domain specific news sources.

But above it all. The same reason people don't pay for every streaming service. They can't afford to and shouldn't be expected to. People don't tend to get their news from a single source anymore. Nobody is going to pay for a half dozen news sites or more.

> But the while time they are paying for the privilege of the wall garden

Again this could use further extrapolation, in vacuum I think we can agree a walled garden is worse for developers than an open platform (for users I'd say that balance is a lot less clear, but if I try to make that argument some folks completely lose it). But we don't live in a vacuum, so I'd say most developers who build for Apple platforms do so because they prefer the toolchain, and that trumps the value of an open platform for them. I used to develop for Apple platforms, and I still think the toolchain is better than anything else I've ever used, and it's not close (I like the debugger integration, the memory tools, and Instruments).
They did, but it wasn't like they were available in March of 2020 when the world was halting. When getting news and communication was important.
Based on the watermarking video, it seems that your interface is actually sort of 3-dimensional? Meaning that a single column (watermarking in the video I watched) represents multiple underlying steps? I feel like to fully leverage the spreadsheet UI you need to explode that view out so the row more clearly represents each sub-step in a column?

Also: are there conditionals? So you can skip a step/column if not needed, or repeat as many times as needed?
I don't believe you, since you didn't bother to actually post what you found, when you directly responded to someone asking for a citation. Your comment is less than useful, and completely untrustworthy.
For the most reliable software, don't choose between different testing approaches, use them all. Testing is not like choosing an architecture or programming language for your system; the more approaches the merrier. As each testing approach experiences diminishing returns, it encourages using a different approach to start near the top of its curve.

Unit testing enables hidden functionality to be tested. This can prevent future bugs when changes in the system suddenly uncloaks those functions, exposing them to higher level tests.
> And the reason people have trouble with math could be because they had a bad experience, or because it’s presented poorly, or because they just don’t have much innate ability.

Boy does this resonate with me. I found math interesting and was good at it until a particular freshman high school algebra class. The teacher was a substitute that ended up being permanent, and he had no interest in and very little knowledge of the subject.

That class killed my "math brain" dead. Math became the subject I hated the most, and that I did the worst in. I even came to think that I just had no mathematical ability.

The latter turned out not to be true, as I have since learned various higher-level mathematics without a problem (but on my own, not with instructors. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be very successful with instructors and certainly not in a classroom situation), but that setback affected me for years and still does in several ways.

People often, and rightly, praise teachers who made a singular positive difference to them, but the opposite -- while rarely discussed -- happens too. Perhaps that's at least as common.
I wonder how much games played a part. In my case, deep down all I wanted to do is just play games. Ataris and Amigas had nice games but at one point the PC just blew their doors off. The Mac was a sad non-contender you used in your print shop to design calendars.

The first one has nothing about any disabled apps

The second one explicitly states that you're only able to install on your own device. And even if you doubt that... This still won't help you unless the user also opens the application and accepts the pop-up for scary permissions.
If a Devil showed up and could grant wishes, it would be a phenomenon in the universe we could do science at. Thing better look out, we’re going to try and capture it, squeeze the wish-juice out or whatever.
I'd place the devil's advocate into the superset of "idea generation" or "brainstorming" in general. It's only diabolical in that the idea has properties that make the modal person tend to resist and deny it. But really, it's just one possibility of many. The fact itself that it's unpopular doesn't make it more or less likely. The clever thing about brainstorming is that by thinking of a new possibility, you almost always lower the probability of the "obvious" path. This is true even if the new possibility is very unlikely. In other words, brainstorming tends to increase overall uncertainty and protects you from overconfidence.
This is so fascinating and amazing, congratulations on the achievements you and your team have made.

I think it's a bit sad that /now pages are going into a direction of listicles/media people consume and so on. The original explanation about what /now pages are has this following sentence [0]: "Think of what you’d tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year.". This, in my opinion, encapsulates the beauty of /now pages. When I see a friend after a year, I do not start by listing all the books I read recently - I start with my life in broad strokes (and _then_ I might go into these listicles). I wish /now pages went back to this. Here's mine, by the way: https://philippflenker.com/now

Making ARM would make very little sense. In x86 they have to differentiate against AMD. With ARM they need to differentiate and compete with the whole rest of the industry.

It’s also symbolic - Intel’s goal is to outcompete ARM (and AMD, Nvidia) in personal computers and the datacenter market. Divesting from ARM Holding sends a signal there is no upside for Intel coming from ARM’s progression up the processor chain.
This discussion reminds me a lot of graphviz. Similar issues and (IIRC) proposed solutions.
>>but the problem is not in people. It's in the way the system's designed.

System was designed by the people, more specifically people with ability to make decisions a.k.a management

There might not have been one person making all the wrong decisions. But more like lots of small wrong decisions, but it doesn't reduce the fact that it is management that is always responsible for the state of affairs.
Sure! Compilers was one of my favorite classes, but it was also one elective among many. There's other stuff I took here that was ommitted: courses on tbe completeness of first-order logic, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, natural language processing, graph theory, abstract algebra, numerical analysis... there's also a lot of applied/engineering math stuff in there (the latter two semesters of calculus, stats) which I took because I wanted to but was not at all required by my CS degree. Not all CS degrees look alike.
Thank you for the kind words! We're already excited about lots of other features we can build out now that we have the foundation in place. Appreciate you taking a look.

Yes/No.

Yes, as in that I do struggle, and ~98-99.9% of my photos are junk. Solution here is saturation: take 50-1000 photos to get a good one, and also plan.

No, as in I take photos separately for documentation purposes (I want a photo of something as record), and for artistic purposes ( The personal and social satisfaction of taking a good photo of wildlife is very large). I don't expect my documentation smartphone photo of a cool building to be award winning, but I will also go out of my way to be in the right place and time to get good lighting and angle for decent composition with a tripod and mirrorless camera.
Interesting example, I hadn't heard of Morigny, and will look at his book.

I think one reason these things are 'mystical' and 'mysterious' is because the people that understood them did openly talk about them and write about them, but used literary and speaking techniques that give them plausible deniability, and mostly limit the audience to people intelligent enough to decipher them. William Blake is a great example of this- he was writing about ideas so progressive and ahead of their time, many are still today unacceptable to talk about, yet he was able to publish book after book about them in the late 1700s, and was regarded as kooky, rather than dangerous.
What are these new core designs, if not ARM?

It does not, but the significance of the milestone is that they are on timeline.
The point is, back then you didn't end up writing nice software because your language was awesomer than other languages. You wrote nice software by escaping to assembly, so support for that was important for state of the art tools.

I've thought of this too, along with the possibility of having multiple tabs visible in the same window generally (almost like a screen/tmux/byobu/… for a browser with tabs being panes in tmux's terminology⁰, tabs->windows and a browser window being a session).

That is probably a very niche desire though, so I don't hold hope of seeing it implemented/supported and don't have time to try write it myself.

This is all kind of my point? There is some data in most newspapers that is of interest to folks and could be used. Sports scores, basic weather, fashion trends, etc. However, if that is actually something you are using to make a decision, you are almost certainly able to get the data in a more rapid and actionable way. You won't be waiting for it to show up in the general news.

Similarly, at a state level, you know they are the same. They have data feeds that are not released to the public.

Which brings us back to my point, what is there of value in the news for most people? I can think of very little personal value there.

Now, I can see great political and public value in making sure you have an informed population. Such that I am not claiming there is no value in it. Hard to show a direct bottom line value to individuals, though. And we are discussing why individuals won't pay.
Seems unlikely to work imo. Games need to account for the fact that 90% of the player base will be deeply unskilled and the remaining 10% will be tightly invested in a meta of dominant strategies. You’d need the bots to be able to consider this and also not just equalize every character.

I am when I am hiking, camping, or have poor reception like in my apartment complex. There are vast swathes of the globe that do not have connectivity at all.

Also, worth considering the online service could change its offering or die at any time. Songs I like are routinely removed from various online platforms, and it enrages me every time.
It is also mostly introductory courses. It’s equivalent to maybe 2-3 years worth of a CS degree program if you also don’t take any advanced courses or have a specialization.

Nand2tetris, for instance, is a course I like and recommend to the curious. But it is at best equivalent to a survey course in computer engineering. It’s a motivator to go deeper, but not where a college student should stop. If it were given for credit at a university it would be intended for first year students.
This is a silly game.

I have spent more time than I am willing to admit going through various CS degree syllabi and very few degrees require compilers or distributed systems. Those are usually master's degree courses. Some universities will make distributed systems an elective where you can do distributed systems, databases or something else in that area.
> a waste of build times

There's an assumption here that tests need to be run for each build. This rules out more laborious testing that could be exposing bugs not found by time-limited tests. For compiler testing, one can set up property-based tests that run for unlimited lengths of time. These can be set up to be always running in the background. Literally billions of tests can be constructed and run.
Installable is nice, but preinstalled is the only thing that really matters for pluggable storage devices (USB drives, DSLRs that don't use MTP/PTP etc).
