I'm sure like many left-handers here, my right hand is nearly as dexterous as my left. Writing is the only thing I can do with left which I cannot do with right; other tasks are either equally natural or just a little awkward but still effective.

But some right-handers who have been forced to (by breaking an arm for example) can learn to write with the left hand. I have to assume they could learn to be more ambidexterous if they were motivated. It almost seems more like a cultural (see/copy) behavior to be right-only handed. Left-handers may have an inclination to do some things with the left hand, but we also grow up in a world of right-hand designed products.

As for the "handedness" of feet, eyes, ears, etc., I also suspect that has more to do with our patterns of hand use. I'm right-eared probably because I hold my phone in my right hand so my left hand is free to do fine motor tasks. It's not because I prefer to listen with my right ear. I'm also somewhat left-footed because I tend to carry heavy things in my right arm; so my right leg is busy supporting the extra weight as I step up on a step with the left.

I doubt any/many of these studies have been large or thorough enough to really learn anything meaningful about handedness and its related effects.

Im not saying they do. I am saying that claims of inefficiency or failure need to be compared to a possible and realistic counterfactual.

I think his idea is that if other competing countries (namely China) won't break up their big tech companies, so with US companies broken up, they won't be able to compete against the foreign behemoths. The US already can't compete at all with China in electronic hardware and manufacturing.

The downside of the "bundle everything" approach (which is also used by Docker and it's ilk), is that whenever one of those dependencies needs to be fixed or upgraded (for reliability or security reasons), you have to find every instance of it on the entire system, which soon becomes an extremely difficult task.

Shared libraries don't have this problem. Yes, they're separate packages, but having dependencies that can be upgraded separately simplifies upgrading that dependency.
Their tag in ASCII Art via console.log() would earn equivalent cred, and not annoy fellow users of a useful service, IMHO
Not sure. The US Government has accrued a couple hundred years of unbroken political agitprop directed at it. From my observations, many people are comforted when anything tends to validate it, and otherwise ambivalent or oblivious to anything else. Underlying that is legal information that is inaccessible for most; the only books you can't check out of a library, a multitude of websites that never quite work. Newstainment that profits from attention does not help.

Proxy address ie user@gmail.com you would use ia+user@gmail.com and have rules to match that
Exact match? Unlikely. But suppose that with each tax return, everybody had the option of listing 5 corporations which they believed were doing more harm than good. It would be simple statistics to determine if the signal was strong enough to warrant action. As for mine, well I'd have to do a bit of research but they'd likely come be in defense, oil, or adtech.

Perhaps we also could list 5 which we think are having a positive impact. The assets of the bad ones could be auctioned off to the good ones, the money made from that auction could go towards severance for anyone whose job was dissolved.
Please stop with the insulting ad-hominems, it contributes nothing to the discussion and just promotes anger.

I think I understand why WP is so popular; it optimises for the editing experience and for the vast majority of situations this is fine; building the website is cheaper and quicker, and the audience doesn't really care about a 200ms lag on rendering.

My confusion (and I never described this as anything but confusion, so I don't understand your reference to me hating users) is that in a process where we can do better, and use tech that is more appropriate, faster, etc, there is still a preference for WP. Even when the people involved don't have to deal with it. Is it just familiarity, or control, or what? If we have the chance of optimising for the reader's experience, I would think that that would be a huge plus, but apparently not. This is confusing, and a little annoying.
This is not exactly what you are asking for, but I recommend datacamp https://www.datacamp.com/ . (They use weird names, so I put that is scare quotes.) They have some free "courses" that are like 3 hours of videos with small test in between. Some are programs with slots you have to fill to make it run. They have "tracks" that are collections of a few "courses" in a sensible order. I'm not sure if they are free.

Unless you have something planed, my recommendation is to start with python. I think this is a good starting point https://www.datacamp.com/tracks/python-data-fundamentals

It’s risky to let your online identity be controlled by a single large provider. Distribute out the services you use as much as possible. Use a different email provider from your domain registrar, and different from the providers of any other online account you have.
A survey with a few informational questions also probably works.

The update issue doesn’t sound like a big deal. What’s stopping WP Engine from setting up their own mirror system?

CentOS did this to Redhat for decades. They literally stripped out the trademarks and distributed the OS to anyone with no contracts at all. Patches were available same day that RH published them, and were applied from CentOS update servers.

The endgame for WP seems to be that they give up this fight or close their source and act like a real licensed software company. You can’t play GPL until it no longer suits you, then start making insane demands about revenue sharing and all this nonsense.
As someone who likes math (math major, applied math grad) and who picked up functional programming relatively early in my career, I don't find this model (fp is just math) to improve my understanding or make it easier to understand why I would want to program like this

>Also not sure what's so difficult about it, I thought for the USB-stick case all you do is dd it onto the dev-node and you're good to go? IDK, maybe I'm wrong here, like I said I prefer using CD-R discs on the very rare occasions that I need to install a new linux distro because the alternative is backing up my entire USB stick so I can overwrite it with a new FS and then restore it from backup.

The real alternative is to buy a few $5 USB sticks for the express purpose of installing Linux. Trying to use the same sticks for personal data and OS installs is an unnecessary headache with so many cheap and huge USB keys around.

If you want to burn CDs it should be to have more durable copies of some data, as USB keys have been known to lose data when left powered off for many months or years. I think I have never lost data that way but it is hard to tell if I did, on my oldest USB keys.
Awesome work! Really clean UI - who are your competitors that offer a similar "end-to-end workflow" UI for LLMs? I'm typically in a Jupyter notebook for this type of thing but a neat and snappy web app could certainly help streamline some workflows.

Yeah, it seems a little obscure. Here's a test page with the functionality:

https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/exit-this-pa...

One cool thing is when you first hit the shift key once, the "Exit this page" button expands vertically, and shows three small circles, one now filled in. So it makes it obvious that hitting the shift key did something related to that button. So if you hit the shift key for any other reason, you'll see something happen.

But still, I agree it seems a little hard to discover.

We have seen small ISPs get LibreQos running in under an hour, which includes installing ubuntu. Configuring it right and getting it fully integrated with the customer management system takes longer.

We're pretty sure most of those ISPs see reduced opex from support calls.

Capex until the appearance of fq_codel (Preseem, Bequant) or cake (LibreQos, Paraqum) middleboxes was essentially infinite. Now it's pennies per subscriber and many just a get a suitable box off of ebay.

I agree btw, that how to monitor and scale is a learned thing. For example many naive operators look at "drops" as reported by CAKE as a bad thing, when it is actually needed for good congestion control.

Largely orthogonal to your comment:

One interesting thing I learned/realized when reading about the msr dafny project is that for loops mean you need to provide guarantees about invariants.

How do I know there's no index out of bounds? How do I know how large the resulting array is?

When you have to write post conditions for each loop, it makes higher order functions (map, reduce, filter) much more appealing. The proof was already done in the function that will invoke yours!
All of the behind the scenes improvements aside, ripgrep just has significantly better defaults. Recursiveness, ignore binaries, parsing .gitignore, etc. I do not think it would be possible to get grep to alter these configurations. It would break decades of ossified scripts.

The reason people turned to ad-blockers is because the ads became too intrusive. They were fine (or at least bearable) when they were just simple text boxes next to your Google search results, or maybe when they were static banner ads. But then the advertisers came up with pop-ups, pop-unders, video ads, 2-hour long ads in the middle of YouTube videos, and all kind of other nasty shenanigans that hijacked your computer and rendered it completely unusable. The advertisers have only themselves to blame for ad-blockers.

Something along those lines is what I would propose, although once the tokens were used to decide which companies get dissolved (and maybe which ones get tax breaks) I'd zero-out all balances rather than creating a secondary economy around their circulation. By that point they'd have done their job. But I'm not really enough of a game theorist/economist/evolutionary biologist to be coming up with the details. My point is just that we should try something like this.
A bit off topic, but how do people usually write code here or on Reddit, I always find it to be really cumbersome to make sure there's two spaces etc in front of everything? Is there some formatting tool that I'm not aware of that everyone else uses?

Because in both forums I keep coming back to edits, and it takes forever to edit some of the things, manually. I feel like I'm being stupid or the UX of all of that is just so terrible.

Latency is a cruel mistress. Had a Customer who was using an old Win32 app that did a ton of individual SELECT queries against the database server to render the UI. They tried to put it on the end of a VPN connection and it was excruciating. The old vendor kept trying to convince them to add bandwidth. Fortunately the Customer asked the question "Why does the app work fine across the 1.544Mbps T1 to our other office?" (The T1 had sub-5ms latency.)
Still worth deleting future instances. What's your point?
I brewed tea out of the leaves and also chewed them when hiking in Peru. Stimulant level-wise it felt similar to green tea. Maybe also a slight euphoria when chewing them but it's definitely still way less potent than a coffee (atleast for me).

The only interesting side effect was that both my wife and I experienced tingling feet when combining coca leaves with acetazolamide, the altitude sickness meds we were taking (tingling feet is apparently a side effect of those meds). I wonder if on some level it does have a similar mechanism for altitude sickness?
Do you really? In other European countries you only need approval for your company name, but are free to use any business name(s) you prefer, as long as they're not trademarked.
> The site presents Deno 2 as if it has finally beat Bun in terms of performance

Bun's HTTP server performs 51% faster before parallelism. Their benchmark is incorrect. They posted a correction, and their correction is also incorrect. Benchmarking correctly is hard, and we put a lot of effort into making sure our benchmarks are easily reproducible.

Bun v1.1.30: 283,386 requests per second (51% faster)

Deno v2.0.0: 187,359 requests per second

Deno v1.45.5: 185,522 requests per second

The following code:

let i = 0;

export default {
async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
return new Response(`Hello, world! ${i++}`);
},
};

Run with:

oha -c 10 -n 10000000 --disable-compression http://localhost:{port}

This was tested on a Linux x64 machine running Debian 11 with a 32 core Intel i9-13900 CPU and 64GB of RAM. In this benchmark, the HTTP server runs on a single thread, so the CPU core count is not as relevant but still worth mentioning.

If we increase the number of concurrent connections from 10 to 1,000 - Bun's HTTP server performs 267% faster.

Bun v1.1.30: 209,133 requests per second (267% faster)

Deno v2.0.0: 78,289 requests per second

Deno v1.45.5: 76,628 requests per second

Run with:

oha -c 1000 -n 10000000 --disable-compression http://localhost:{port}

Note that we add the --disable-compression for Deno's benefit here (as it does nothing for Bun right now)

Have not yet spent enough time investigating their other benchmarks.
This is assuming that just upgrading the shared library will work for everything. Too often, some things are broken by the upgrade, and since you weren't explicitly trying to update the thing that broke, you might not notice until a later date, at which point you may struggle to remember what was updated that it relies on.
Working from home has really put a spotlight on the terrible asymmetric upload speeds of most cable internet.

I can get 1 gb down but only 50 mb upload. Certain tasks (like uploading a docker image) I cant do at all from my personal computer.

OpenWrt depreciated pfifo_fast in favor of fq_codel in 2012, and have not looked back. It (and BQL) is ever present on all their Ethernet hardware and most of their wifi, no configuration required. It's just there.

That said many OpenWrt chips have offloads that bypass that, and while speedier and low power, tend to be over buffered.

I doubt that's what "Not enough data" means.
To say you can't see any benefit at all is probably an overstatement.

These trillion dollar companies were often able to invest into big money-losing moonshot projects that benefited consumers massively - in Google's case, GMail and Google Maps - which were truly unimaginable at the time even though they're taken for granted today, so there's clearly some benefit in the form of innovation. Who else can afford to build things like that?

The questions to ask are, can startups and venture capital take on the role of innovating that these big corps have done? I'm doubtful, since there's been no startup in the past ten years that put out anything nearly as genuinely innovative and helpful as Google Maps was for me, mainly because the risk/profit ratio is so bad without the network effects that these big companies have.

Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Ten years ago, when the big companies were innovating so much to the benefit of consumers, I'd answer unequivocally yes. Now it's much less clear.

And finally, is there any way to rein in the negative effects of these big companies while bringing out the positive effects to the benefit of consumers?
IA stores lots of redundant stuff in 5 file formats and none of them are particularly well-compressed, I think. There are (big) savings to be had, but maybe figuring that out (software dev and compute time) isn't worth it?

I have the exact same concern, but instead with Apple.
Attacks like that tend to have little to do with bluntness. They occur when you've touched something they consider to be theirs, and you are not entitled to. Usually that's some matter of group identity, where they feel the need to show off for each other just how angry they are at you.

It has less to do with what you say or how you say it, but with who you are.
The recent news on IA has made me worried about it. It seems to be a fragile thing and if it goes it'll be something we'll all regret.

Indeed it's completely insane that any plugin can create a file in the site folder, and a public URL will execute it.
