The point of the propaganda model is that the filters equally affect any media corporation. It is a question of incentives, not political affiliation. Diversification of news consumption doesn't solve the issues of ownership, advertising funding, sourcing of news, etc.

I would say that you don't live in a real country if the government can just arbitrarily take your stuff from you legally. It makes it doubly absurd that the US wants to export this "democracy".
It’s a gray area. If you look at apps like Snapchat, instagram and TikTok, they all have this concept of filters/lens/effect which are effectively <8mb bundles running JavaScript / lua scripts for visual effects and whatnot (see lens studio, meta spark and effect house).
The key seemed to be to not use any JIT compilers and make sure it does not change the code of the app itself but mainly just act as a static runtime / engine for the effect.

One app effectively violating that policy is WeChat with their mini programs, but they get away with it due to the fact that iOS without WeChat would be doa in China.

The general agreement for the IT services sector in Finland says that we're entitled to an hour's wage if we need to take phone calls outside working/on-call time. Two hours for 21-06, Sundays and holidays. Granted, it's one of those clauses that can be negotiated down in one's contract.
Obviously they are interesting. It's the preselection of what the general population can vote for.

If you can only vote for two different candidates(which is the case now, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump), how the f*k is that democratic?

A plugin system is much less of an issue when Helix has built-in functionality for most of what comes as plugins in Vim. That said integration with git or with code assistants/chat is something that is probably better done via plugins hence it is still on the roadmap.

But in my experience of ~10 months of Helix vs +20 years of Vim, the former is a much more pleasant and hassle-free experience, mostly because of it offering autocompletion, matching, fuzzy file picker, multiple cursors, LSP and go to definition, and other features with no or minimal configuration and the guarantee of stability and support (something that can not always be said when picking among the competing Vim plugins for same)
I don’t think they’re coming down until after election day. All the money and time devoted to this cannot result in any further failure.

The Symfony framework (PHP) provides a similar feature, which also relies on LISTEN/NOTIFY and FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED: https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html#doctrine-tran...

It also supports many other backends including AMQP, Beanstalkd, Redis and various cloud services.

This component, called Messenger, can be installed as a standalone library in any PHP project.

(Disclaimer: I’m the author of the PostgreSQL transport for Symfony Messenger).
They already have Scheme based config files and I'd say it is simpler that Lua.

>Yes, school shootings are a problem. But why does there need to be 30 cell phones in the classroom? The landline on the teacher's desk can be enough. Or even a button to turn off the jammer.

A single landline isn't going to help 30 kids call their parents and say a final good-bye before the shooter kills them, while the town police force stands outside.

It's not gray. Your examples do not violate policy because Apple has an explicit exception to allow stuff like that when specifically running in WebKit's JavaScript engine. That's why they use JavaScript, to qualify for the loophole. But as I said, Roblox does not use JavaScript or WebKit for running games and does not qualify for that exception. There is also an exception for "plug-ins" which seems like it could cover the case of camera filters, but definitely would not stretch to cover an entire embedded app store full of complete games purchased with a third-party currency.
I tend to keyboard minimalism myself: doing as little typing as is required to produce the code. I.e.: lots of keyboard macros. Thus reducing the cognitive load of typing to a minimum.
Thats very neat. Thanks. Would love to use that instead of dealing with XPath and JsonPath. But are there any client libraries for different languages, besides Go? I think having some Python, Java, C# client libs would be helpful to use it more commonly as if it were it's own standard
I have used multiple stuff since 1986, if it isn't an IDE like tool, I won't bother.

These kind of editors switching is like repairing that old covertible triumph from 1950 on the garage, interesting for some, not really something I care about.
Precisely, I'm super tempted to mod one of these laptop-shell devices into a little 1U metal drawer to use as a cheap KVM switch for my server rack.

Essentially the same thing as a crash cart, but they're little bit sleeker since you can tuck it away when not in use.
>The real problem here is that we're expecting Google to do this instead of law enforcement. Is there a scammer? Arrest them. They can't make 1000 more accounts from prison and then Google don't have to play whack a mole while clobbering tons of innocent people.

How can a scammer make 1000 accounts? Don't they need to give Google Store some gov ID, credit card number? If this are too easy for scammers to get then ask for more documents that a legit company or developer would have. And you can make this more strict stuff optional, if you do not provide this documents your activity and reports are treated 100x more seriously.

My suspicion is that companies are using AI crap to handle user reports, some devs very exited to work on this cool new tech where they can replace even more people in support and QA with scripts.

'non-obese' when talking about 'tech bro' / Musk is a stretch. He probably is medically obese (above 30 BMI). I know it isn't what USians call obese, but basically, for a man, once fat can be seen on your face, you're obese (I'm an ex-obese, I know).

You have to store the KV cache, not the tokens. For Gemma 27B (probably slightly larger than Flash), this would be:

Size of KV cache = 2 * (num_layers) * (num_kv_heads * dim_head) * seq_length * precision

8-bit Gemma 27B KV cache = 2 * (46) * (16 * 144) * 1e6 * 1 byte ≈ 200 GB

Note that this doesn't take further optimizations into account that Google might be using.

That reads a bit like: „If you have more fun as a kid, you will never be depressed.“ I‘m certain this is not how it works.

The article dances around the topic (might be cultural differences), but OCD and depression are related[0]. So Kohei Omori might have been in a phase of depression, triggered by an online individual that stated his work is meaningless. That's nothing a childhood can prepare for. It‘s a disease.

Although functions are usually defined with the built-in defmacro macro, but any
list that begins with an M--'

`Why with an M?' said Alice.

I’m not sure… maybe. But at the same time, I think that having access to thousands of games that more or less look and play the same has its advantages and might be a big part of its appeal. If you had Fortnite reimplemented within Roblox, why would you play the Roblox version? I don’t know.

On the other hand, as a Roblox-father also, I do enjoy some of the more polished games, but I almost always fail to get my son to be excited about them enough for us to spend our shared playtime in them instead of the other crap. No free lunch I guess.
It isn't minus the fact. To win the presidency you need to win the electoral college.

That's how it works and the same system applies to everyone.

Whether or not that system should change is a separate issue.
The QUEENCREEK components may as well be malware, not just "appearing" to be malware.

These services are insanely invasive and resource hungry, to the point that I regularly have to scrub them out of my system. If I don't, my CPU fans will spin up and make turbine noises while this monstrosity collects every piece of metadata it possibly can to be sent back to big brother at Intel.

To expand on the comments in the original article, this is the description text file of one of these services:

Inte(R) System Usage Report Service
SystemUsageReportSvc_QUEENCREEK monitors
the computer system usage and helps to improve
system's performance."

Intel is misspelled. That's insane for a Fortune 500 company.

At most such organisations, you'd be raked over hot coals if you did something like this.

Let us also ignore the missing 'the' or 'your' in "helps to improve system's performance." -- either way this is a flat lie. It doesn't improve performance in any way. It's spyware sending telemetry, that's all it does.

The industry-wide problem is that there are zero consequences to this type of shoddy code deployed to a billion devices globally. It's just waiting to be next global Crowdstrike-style outage or remote code execution exploit.

PS: Right next to this spyware in the list of services is the "Intel® Dynamic Application Loader". I won't describe it here, read for yourself what this does "for you", and for state actors that might want to hide malware that even the operating system can't access: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/dal/...
For all its warts, using constrexpr if and concepts, is much more easier to do macro like programming than dealing with Rust's two worlds of macros and special syntax.

I have been wondering about this more recently.

I’ve filed bug fixes on a handful of projects and tracked open issues on quite a few, and the stream of inbound PRs is often so random. Not just bug fixes but new features. Where’s the plan? Whats the scope? Which of these PRs is likely to land? Can anyone but the maintainer guess?
But overall isn’t it cheaper now than it was before?

e.g. if you don’t like monthly fees it’s still possible to “rent” movies on Apple TV, Amazon etc. for $5 (so cheaper than BB inflation adjusted).

Movies hardly make any money anymore outside of cinemas while DVD/VHS used to be a significant revenue source (up to 50%).

This isn’t a magic bullet. Using multiple versions of the same crate can still blow up your project.

That you think any of those are anywhere near the realm of a US President attempting to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, a la third world dictator status, is exactly what OP meant. Dems are trying to field the candidate that Americans will vote the most for, so that tragedy doesn't happen again. The prediction markets are way up for a Dem win compared to Biden. It's what most Americans that would vote Democrat want.

Editions still don't cover how to handle semantic changes, or possible ABI breaks.

So while nice, they aren't really much better than traditional compiler switches for language editions.
It also makes it almost impossible to compete if Apple/Google has a similar product. They get 100 % of their own earnings, you only get 70 %, so need a much much bigger operational margin. And they still make 30 % off you, so if you're equally big they in reality make 130 % and you 70 %, almost the double of you while having the same sales.

> preceded the closed mobile app ecosystem

Just because the app store is closed it doesn't mean it's not full of crapware?

All the "games" are IAP fests. Every time you search for some big name app you get the app (if available) and a bunch of results that are named so deceptively that you're afraid to click on them.

Every week there's another story about a flashlight app that charges a 50/month or 9.99/week subscription.

So tell me how Apple's app curation helps?

> If that risk seems remote now

Maybe to you? I haven't looked at iOS games since the days of the iPad 1, when Apple hadn't pushed all game devs into IAPs yet.

And the few apps I bought, they were mentioned on forums not connected to Apple. And as you said yourself, there's always the chance the app gets sold and the terms change, and the walled garden won't help a single bit.
> If I would knew some killer feature, I'd go ahead and write it here. But that's the thing, I can't think of any.

While I obviously have no proof that this is what happened in this case, I've seen countless Google ads leading straight to fraud sites and scams like this.

Google also claims the 30% they skim off every legitimate transaction (which is insane) is necessary because they make sure the app store only has legit apps. They should be held to that claim.
Who cares if games have IAPs? That's not what crapware is.
Exactly, but paying 30% stills seems like a very good deal for most developers.
if you really want to optimize for a very-low-probability event, just don't live in a school district with cellphone bans

Switching editor every five years doesn't sound that bad? Especially if you really get a new editor which is "better than what's currently available".
> The average developer averages 10 lines of finished code per day. And even with a raw 10x that amount to account for variance, changes, debugging etc, you'd be at 12 lines PER HOUR. Being generous at a full 80 chars per line, you have a maximum of 1000 keypresses per hour, or an average of one every 3 seconds. Even doubling your typing speed or keyboard response time would have no discernible effect.

Just my personal experience, it's not about how fast I can get my ideas down in writing (whether code or not), it's about how often I am broken out of the flow when typing.

At one extreme, using your stats above of "10 finished lines of code per day", you could argue that using this keyboard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA) should have no effect on your productivity, and yet no developer would make or support this argument.

Small frictions add up; there's a joelonsoftware post that I read a long time ago about this[1], and it stuck for 24 years!

The best editor/environment is the one that gets out of my way. One where I don't need to look things up on google. One in which I have already learned all the shortcuts, and don't need to relearn them to make the software useful.

Emacs `M-x sql-connect` is much easier for me to do than to look up, in VS Code, what shortcut has been assigned to the extension I use that does the same thing, and then look it up again in a few years when that extension is no longer supported. Same for Vim commands.

Using VS Code, or a full-fledged IDE[2] removes the whole command interface: I now need to remember dozens of key-chords, not a handful of verbs and a handful of nouns. I need to remember which menu, and which submenu needs to be clicked.

Each time I want to do something in the IDE I switch focus from the code to the IDE. When in Vim or Emacs, that never happens!

The "keyboard maximalism" isn't about speed == productivity, IME. It's about "friction == disruption".
