> My criticism of Aristotle: Living the golden mean, like a happy person isnt going to help when your country is invaded.

An interesting criticism considering Aristotle elevated soldiers at war as a prime example. Greek philosophy was generally done by and for noble men, who were expected to deal with war on a regular basis and often actively participate in it.

> Aristotle's golden mean (or Temperance) does not account for this.

Aristotle gives the example that soldiers should be temperate in their enjoyment of war, not reveling in the bloodshed or pushing farther than they can handle. Work and studies are the same way: regardless of your age the human body has limits that you need to account for. When you're younger you can push past some of the softer limits (stay up late, go without food, etc) but eventually you will hit hard physical limits that, if not respected, will cause irreversible damage and often put you in a worse spot than you started.

> "But Wisdom would say that this is acceptable to sacrifice health at points" Does it? How do you weight these virtues as one better than another?

To directly answer: Aristotle does say Practical Wisdom (or Prudence) is the highest of the cardinal virtues, and that the cardinal virtues of Prudence,Courage,Temperance, and Justice are more important virtues than others.

But that's also sort of the whole point of his ethics, you don't have specific rulings of what to do, you develop the character to make the right decisions for the given circumstance. In this case, you rely on good Practical Wisdom to determine what the moderate amount of work is: a wise person wouldn't slack off at work but also wouldn't work 80 hour weeks at the expense of seeing their family.

> Calling for some perfect Platonic form that answers all these questions correctly is a bit of a cop-out.

You'll have to take that up with his teacher I suppose.
Whats the antipode to this, where, as a programmer going to investigate a user bug, my mere presences makes the bug disappear, and the user frustrated at trying to reproduce it for me?

Because this happens a lot to me these days, no kidding. The bug happens, some user delights in calling me over, I take a look, they simply can't reproduce it, I walk away - they get the bug again - and, yeah, I kind of have to race ahead of things to understand the nature of the users situation.

Happen to anyone else? I don't think its quite like Vorführeffekt, and is maybe a bit more like Daseinsvermögung oder etwas ..
Too late for that. Smartphone SoCs is a low margin business that controlled by Qualcomm (or in-house like Apple, Google and Samsung to some extent) on the high-end and it would absurd for Intel to try and compete for the low-end/budget market.

Yeah, they had the chance to dominate the ARM market with XScale but that ship has long sailed.

Also how is having a small, insignificant stake in ARM itself related to this anyway?
So Qualcomm's Arm-based laptops that last 2-3 times longer than the equivalent x86 laptops is just a figment of everyone's imagination?
It's almost like incessantly hounding someone to do something they don't want to do tends to anger them.

Personally, I feel like the editors and writers get enough value from me through their shaping and framing of how stories are presented to me. Whether through blatant advertisers or just simple ideological dissemination, the real price is my sympathy to the exact verbiage that the writer desires to present to me.

It is already enough of a chore filtering through all the different bias to find ground reality. Paying for one that 'i like' is just succumbing to that editors worldview.
> Conversations that used to happen in ear reach

Sorry, is this a real thing? I've never experienced this.

We all have cubes and sure, maybe sometimes I can hear someone kind of close to me. But not very often. And typically, people actually speak in a low voice as to not disturb others.

We have many floors in the office too, so all our meetings are on Teams. I can't remember the last time I went to a conference room.

I actually really enjoy the async nature of chats. Because you can come and go in the conversation, and you don't have to grind everything you're doing to a halt. Plus, I can go back later and refresh my memory.
Pascal is a workhorse and to tame the horse takes a lot of skill and blind knowledge. And then when tamed, your horse is the best at the show.

I can't fault Pascal. It may not have every module ever like Python, it's syntax may feel archaic but the satisfaction and feel of producing a program with is fuzzy feeling great.

I enjoy making my own things, especially wheels.
Well, I don't know. If we look at the body counts, I think being in the receiving end of getting democratized by the USA is actually worse.

But this is "whataboutism" and not addressing the point of my comment.

The actual point of my comment is: the narratives of good guys / bad guys are silly propaganda.

Geopolitics were never about morals, unluckily for us.

Edit: for the record, by no means I like the Russian regime "better" than the west. Yes, Putin bad.
It's not that the basics of git are hard. It's that there are 30 footguns you're forced to deal with every time you want to do anything, just because someone somewhere once had to use one of them -- probably caused by another one of them.

Git lovers mostly use it as a file copy service.
It can be a binary property if you define security as a proof of absence of runtime errors which is possible to achieve today.

Our new blog is on Using Twitter player cards to improve accessibility of NeetoRecord.

At Neeto, we're building multiple products, and we love sharing our progress and updates on Twitter. We often accompany our tweets with NeetoRecord recordings to give you an even closer look at our work. However, we noticed that users had to leave Twitter to view our videos, creating unnecessary friction in their experience.

Learn how we resolved this issue with Twitter cards, implemented them on NeetoRecord, and the technical details involved.

I had the vague sense at the time -- and, to be clear, I wasn't a Mac person until the late 1990s so it's before I knew anything about the platform -- that for reasons I never understood it was more difficult to write code for the pre-MacOS Macs actually ON those Macs.

The other thing that may escape a modern reader is that the Mac timeline is really two eras: The original classic Mac era, with its Chicago-and-sepia look, and then a huge and stark transition to what was initially called OS X and is now called MacOS.

They are entirely different systems, but people outside the Mac world often mistake the transition to something more like Win95 -> NT/XP. It's not that. It's way more.

OS X is when the Mac got shiny to technical people, because it was (and is) based on FreeBSD, and even shipped (and ships) with a host of the sorts of tools you'd expect from a Linux distro. And it was introduced in a time when LAMP development was huge, so if you were in that world writing an interpreted language targeting MySQL and Apache it was EASIER to work on a Mac than it would've been to stay on Windows.

So, sure, today we see lots of devs and even whole software companies standardizing on the Mac, but in 1995 this would have been unthinkable.
It says 60 percent of CPU cycles on one core with the other core free. What does the available 40 percent of the one core look like? I'm assuming its got some high frequency interrupts going that can't be disturbed? What restrictions are on using the remaining capacity of the one core?
Magical solution would be filling in data from open sources or from that customer CRM. But it is question who will pay for that - we as SaaS don’t want to invest in what single customer uses. Customer expects we do it within their SaaS subscription. End result is that it sucks for people on the ground using it having to copy over data.

The problem is, then they just go after the tools. There’s absolutely nothing stopping one from creating a pirate streaming tool based on e.g. torrents, but popcorntime doesn’t exist precisely because the movie industry frowned intensely at them. The core problem is that the government, if compelled to act, seems able to do whatever it wants to protect rich people’s interests. Cute loopholes like making tools vs sharing content are covered over eventually, hell even links are taken down now by DMCA requests.

Yes, Aristotle was born into a more privileged family, but I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that he was rich. However, his financial conditions and the fame that his life's work brought him seem to have had the opposite effect of what you suggested. There is a painting by Rembrandt that represents exactly this. The painting depicts Aristotle with one hand holding a chain of gold and the other hand resting on a bust of Homer. This represents his internal struggle between embracing his eternal legacy, like Homer, or embracing momentary pleasures and riches.

They've been pursuing lock-in and feigning superiority since at least the late '00s. The intensity at which they do that has accelerated, but I think the rate at which they are doing this over time has increased consistently.

It's been a great business model, and I'm not in anyway claiming people don't really truly love using their products.

To be fair, the same writing is on the wall for Google (they're just bad at it but will figure it out eventually).

This reminds me of the old File Browser concept from NextSTEP/OpenSTEP (which, I think, was at some point also adopted by MacOS X).

I could never get used to the "horizontal history" style of browsing anything.

But I admit that for the Ultra Wide displays that are all the rage recently, this might be actually very workable
Modern ones are basically SCIFs with wheels and an engine, so I suppose that checks out.

It makes me wonder what would have happened with the first Air Force One if not for a clerical error. I know older presidential limos are still around, but that's because they served more as a fashion accessory than as a security device.
Because I have to do most of the job for the "journalists" when reading their pieces, because they rarely if ever mention sources, rarely ask good questions to interviewees, and more often than not are _factually incorrect_ whenever I fact check them.

After repeatedly catching all manner of journalists writing complete garbage about topics I am knowledgeable about, I have been fighting against the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect by checking everything. Turns out most of it is just as bad.

Why would I pay for that?

Xjslt: An XSLT 2.0 compiler for JavaScript
I developed xjslt, an XSLT 2.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/) compiler for JavaScript. XSLT is still the best way to transform XML content into other XML or HTML content, and there is only one generally available 2.0 or later version, Saxon. Saxon is an excellent piece of software, but SaxonJS is not open source and I thought it might be good to have another option.

There is a simple command line interface as well as the ability to compile to a standalone JavaScript file for loading in a browser and to a JavaScript file that can be used in NodeJS and other JavaScript runtimes. This means you can run your XSLT transforms on the server or in a cloud function.

The majority of functionality is in place and it has worked with many XSLT files I have tried. There are a number of incomplete and/or broken features. The speed is very reasonable.

What would they ever gain by that?

If they can’t build decent x86 chips when they only have a single competitor switching to an inferior architecture (in the sense that it would require massive investment for it to catch up with x86) with no entry barriers for new competitors would be one of the most absurd things they could ever do.

From Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT>:

> The standard exFAT implementation is not journaled and only uses a single file allocation table and free-space map. FAT file systems instead used alternating tables, as this allowed recovery of the file system if the media was ejected during a write (which occurs frequently in practice with removable media).

ExFAT is also used by fake USB drives which claim to be much larger than they really are.
I'm not sure whether we're on the same page—when you ask the chat interface to generate an image, the language model will / may / can rewrite your wording, making it even more difficult to link cause and effect with that in the pipeline. IOW the verbiage you use in the chat interface is not the input the image generator gets to work on. That's how far I know the system, please correct me.

Overall a good intro on the subject. I feel like at the start it might benefit from being a bit more explicit about pitches being frequencies and ratios being intervals; probably just worth a reminder for people who aren’t as familiar

Might be interesting to talk about how the usual ratios come from the harmonic series. For sounds that don’t produce a harmonic series, other potentially non-integer ratios can actually sound more consonant. The youtube channel New Tonality[0] has a bunch of great videos about this

Also wanted to mention that I’ve been working on a piece of commercial software[1] for working with freestyle/adaptive just intonation, if anyone’s interested

I used to work on this particular site (and all Turner properties more broadly), and there was a culture internally of talking about the site visitors not as customers but as the audience. Our real customers were the advertisers after all.

CartoonNetwork.com (and CNN.com and adultswim.com and so on) all had a reason to exist, and it was primarily funded by marketing and advertising. The interesting takeaway from Zaslav completely axing a site like this is that it's indicative of advertisers not being the cash cow that they once were.

The lack of control on the layout can sometimes be a feature. If something starts to look bad, I often use it as a sign that my architecture is wrong. I’ve found that many times it’s helped point me in a better direction. If it’s easy for the graph layout engine, it’s probably a better architecture.
For the sake of this issue here, does it matter which is used i wonder, because I have been unable to find any source willing to spell it out. (that is, is simply turning it off on the adapter enough)
SAM 26000 must be one of the most historic aircraft in the world - being the place Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in after the assassination of JFK:

"It needs to be funded by the readers. But the readers are reluctant to pay for this (as TFA says). It's a conundrum, but we need to sort it out soon."

Readers often say they want one type of coverage but actually consume others, too. (e.g., people complain mightily about "clickbait" headlines and so forth -- but write an in-depth article with everything people say they want and often it gets a fraction of the traffic.)

But, yes, the best path to producing news that a community needs in the form of investigative journalism and not being driven by entertainment factors is if the news is paid for by readers.

Of course the other problem here is "L" in the article: Subscription fatigue. I do value quality news, I do subscribe to several publications local, national, and global in scope. But every now and again I look over my credit card statement and think "holy shit, that's a lot of little charges".

As a side note, I love this article and I wish I knew the author to go out for beers and discuss/argue about media.
He may well mean a mechanic qua mechanic is not capable or practising virtue -- not a mechanic qua human being.

The ancients tended to predicate formally where we predicate materially. When they said 'a mechanic can't practise virtue', they didn't mean every man who is a mechanic, which is what we would mean. They meant every mechanic in so far as he is a mechanic. At least this is the tendency -- I don't know if it applies to this particular case.

In this case, it would mean he can't practise virtue, at least not complete virtue, through being a mechanic, but he could in other areas of his life.

Jacques Maritain's Introduction to Philosophy explains this helpfully.

I've had to avoid taking certain cutesy photos of my 3 year old toddler son because he is sometimes naked (example: bathtime or beach) and I have to fear my innocent photos being misidentified as CSAM.

What's crazy is that my library contains naked photos of ME as a toddler (I scanned a bunch of old slides in a few years ago) and I have to of course wonder if that is going to get flagged. (My parents were German immigrants. Germans DNGAF about human nudity, unlike the puritanical Americans.)

There's a cost to automating this. You might say "well a human can tell" but humans don't scale.

Regarding the evaluation of everything else, I find it useful to ask what the concrete demonstrable harm is that has been done. Not the hypothetical harm, mind you. So for automatic generation of self-indulgent pornographic material (or for example things that are not even possible in reality such as... hentai?), I don't see an issue unless it is acted upon and demonstrably harms someone or violates consent (harm caused by creating a court case should not count towards this since that is circular reasoning). Most people who are only attracted to adults have fapped to content that is something they would never do in reality; I don't think it's a strong argument that the mere possibility that that might occur is enough to ban it.
There's a logical leap between "read the news" and "become more credulous, or well-informed about underlying statistics like broad immigration rates".
