It's actually this language-specific packaging ghettos that exist precisely in order to hide the grotesque reality of how difficult it is to directly use third party code in these languages.

People making new languages should resist this trend. Do not implement another damn package manager. Think about the problem and make it easy for people to just use someone's tarball of code.
I read Orwell’s 1984 in junior high in the 1970s, during the Nixon/Viet Nam era.

I started it thinking it was just another scifi book about the future, but it served as a really good inoculation against governmental lies and cant.

You see, that's exactly why I don't have high hopes about OpenAI. They came up with a state of the art GPT-4 that was slow and expensive to maintain, so they came up with this o1 that is basically a chain of cheap 4os, something that people used to do from the moment LLMs appeared. And they started calling GPT-4 a "legacy model".

In the meantime Anthropic is steadily raising the bar with each iteration. But even there the efforts plateaued and what we have still has the inherent problems of LLMs, that is the ability to give completely wrong answers with amazing self-confidence.
I do some systems programming, use rust for that and I am exactly the person you describe :-)
Roundabouts get a lot of praise whenever they're mentioned, and from a traffic flow perspective that's understandable - if by traffic you mean motorised traffic. For pedestrians and cyclists they are worse than the alternative (lights - or even a simple intersection) in my opinion.

An AM capable emergency radio is a few bucks on Amazon, and they have a hand spin generator next to batteries and a 12V or other wide-range DC input to attach a regular wall wart or a tiny solar panel.
Jesus Christ. I hope they can reconcile, because Linux _really_ needs a good, modern filesystem that's not a hassle to use. ZFS would be it but licencing stops it from being mainline, so it's always a pain to boot from it. Btrfs, well, is a lost cause. Linux needs BCacheFS TBH, so I think they should compromise somehow.
I'm excited to introduce Meta Movie Gen, a new project that lets you create personalized movie plots using AI. We're still in the early development phase, and I'm opening up the waitlist for early adopters!

What is Meta Movie Gen? It's an AI-driven platform designed to generate custom movie storylines based on your preferences. Simply provide your ideas, themes, or characters, and our AI will generate a unique concept just for you.

According to a post below, you would lose the bet. Reddit also claims that several phones have supported FM antenna passthrough via USB-C.

I imagine adding analog FM radio isn't a major selling point on a phone where you can already stream the digital feeds from most FM stations – not to mention Spotify, Youtube, Apple Music, etc.
I don't think Geekbench is a relevant benchmark for laptops. I would look at other benchmarks such as Cinebench, before drawing any conclusions.

Does it matter if your car can receive some extra bands you don't use? I only use DAB in my car but it can receive AM/FM also even if i've never used that functionality.

I suggest https://www.apa.org/monitor/2009/12/consumer or the Eduard Bernays story to convince MDs that smoking is good for health: he create a new scientific journal distributing it for free "because it's new, we want to spread", hosting REAL publications from anyone who want to publish and being spread for free... After a bit of time he inject some false articles self-written formally as some PhD of remote universities finding that smoking tobacco is good for health, others real professors follow the path stating they discover this or that specific beneficial use of cigarettes, then the false became officially true, tested and proved science in most people mind.

With LLMs is far cheaper and easier, but the principle is the very same: trust vs verification or the possibility thereof.
If Linux drops BCacheFS, it's dead. Let's be honest, nobody would be using anything but ZFS if it was in tree - not having it first-party is what keeps Btrfs alive. If you have to install it from external sources than you're probably better off simply installing ZFS to begin with.
Lots of old things/places in the US too if you don’t disregard native history.
Just saw that I linked an old portion of the thread.. There is a newer story here.
There's already a ton of options ranging from extremely powerful + expensive ROG Ally ~$800 to the Steam Deck ~$400 and much smaller/weaker Android and Linux handhelds like Retroid's products from ~$100 - $300. The PC handhelds actually run Switch games better than the Switch does.

We're actually at a point where some Switch games will even run on smartphones.

The size of the buffer and how many bytes are written have nothing intrinsically linked to what the header says. It's a bug sure but does not mean there's any security issue on the server.
Slackware is more like a BSD of Linux, to stretch an analogy. A very solid base system, all packaged up as a complete operating system.

LFS is utterly different. There is no installer, there is no base system, there is nothing even approaching the power of Slackware's package manager, as barebones as it seems today.

This is compile everything from source in a separate environment and put everything in the right place essentially manually*.

Of course, `make`-and-friends will usually do the actual lifting, but you're in charge of giving direction, there isn't a distro community patching packages and build-scripts to adhere to a consistent FSH or the like.

It does, and "preserving" Switch games that aren't even out yet doesn't constitute preservation.

Citation needed. As a cyclist I prefer roundabouts: they're faster than lights and don't rob my momentum, and they're safer than uncontrolled intersections/4-way stops because all the cars are coming from the same direction.

Caveat: this is for simple, single-lane roundabouts. Multi-lane roundabouts are gnarly for cars and worse for cyclists.
Ironically that could describe a lot of talk-show podcasts these days.
I think more importantly: anyone who looks at the Switch as another computer they can buy will see it is worse than the Steam Deck by basically any metric including the Switch's own games running much better with higher resolutions and framerates plus all the QoL enhancements emulators add.

There's very little reason to buy-into a proprietary handheld that will restrict your usage and repairability and compel you to pay the highest possible prices for games, if you can enjoy those games without that hardware.

I don't know how many consumers are savvy enough to make that comparison but Nintendo are in an extraordinary vulnerable position already - and the Switch 2 will have to contend with two future generations of the Steam Deck as well!
I agree. There's a fine line between useful abstractions and bloat.

What kind of logic is that? Exactly the opposite could be said as well and still hold true.
It's a bug for sure, but I think whether it's a security issue could depend on the language. If the callee is able to determine the length of the array, it can just return an error instead of a potential buffer overrun.

I count 7 octal digits per row. Any reason it's 7 instead of 6 (7×3 = 21 whereas 6×3 = 18 which is still greater than 16)?
Yes, I wasn't using the term falsifiable well at all there. It should be possible to falsify a theory, even if it's hard. And we are falsifying dark matter theories, excluding some of them in the process.

I'm not sure MOND is harder to falsify than dark matter. There have been some recent observations looking at wide binary stars. Throw as much money into falsifying MOND as we have into trying to find dark matter particles, and we can compare!

A very simple alternative is to type "data:text/html," in the URL bar, and then just paste your HTML content after it, generating a URL that looks like this:

data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hello, world!</body></html>

Most browsers don't preserve newlines when pasting (Chrome replaces them with spaces, Firefox seems to remove them) so this occasionally breaks stuff that depends on exact whitespace formatting (like <pre>-blocks or Javascript code without semicolons), but 99% of the time it works just fine.

Rendering SVG can be done exactly the same way, using "data:image/svg+xml," as the prefix. For example:

data:image/svg+xml,<svg height="100" width="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <circle r="45" cx="50" cy="50" fill="red" /> </svg>

If anyone's thinking of starting their own Unoffice Hours, someone started a webring with a good domain. It's semi dormant right now, but the site accepts pull requests and it would be a good place to start building community

Anyone who have ever tried to generate code via LLMs know that. The main hype point though it's selling something that can't work but people believe it do to hide a very simple phenomenon: after DECADES of technical possibility and opportunity IT automation timidly became a bit spread, so finally people have discovered they do not need to physically go to a bank to operate with it, since web-banking is here since decades, they discover they do not need an insurance broker for 99% of insurances instead they choose some on-line offer comparison portal, they do not even need an office to do office works since without paper we can WFH.

This obviously means many jobs are not needed anymore. Much of ETL, office frontline etc for instance. But if you tell anyone this is not new, it's decade old stuff you are clearly a bad manager because you could makes things much better much before, of you simply state that most people are ignorant of IT and that's a dramatic problem for the society because if we know IT we can create new jobs, if not we can only dismiss many and so on. So "hej, it's AI!" [and obviously that's new eh]...

Aside the office use of LLM could led to interesting nightmares in infosec terms, so brace yourself...
This feels like a perfect marketing tool: have a bunch of "people" discussing over a "topic" that is "important", "hot" and who doesn't have to be paid for their time and vocal cords. Surely if this will kick in it'll be used for promoting products etc. and there's a big chance it'll be used for pushing agendas as well. I won't be surprising that if this tech will settle in around, we'll have articles and comments about the usefulness, value or perhaps even some sort of morality of consuming such "discussions"

Perhaps in 3-5 years a fully generated influencers by voice and "body" become a thing.
If you’ve spent any time in corporate circles where everyone tries to appear as positive and employable as possible, this is how a discussion with two such people (who both think the other is serious) might sound like. I find it hilarious in a condescending way, but it’s not the traditional hahaha type funny.
Not even remotely. A war crime was shooting Israel with missiles for months and the way Israel responded was fine. No, it was even targeted and morally completely justifiable.

Do both efficiency and yield play a part in the final off the shelf performance?

e.g. does higher yield mean you get more product in higher bins? I imagine we need to judge a process by the distribution across bins not just a max efficiency or a total yield.
Adaptive radix tree is pretty good as well, with support for in order listing and range query. It can beat b-tree and come closely behind hashmap.
For me it was an old Mac game called Realmz. It was a sprawling party-based RPG sandbox that introduced child me to modern fantasy, turn-based tactics, and many other concepts that appear in genre-similar games across various mediums. I thought that its later incarnations were a step backwards, chasing shiny features that came at the cost of good mechanics and art assets (relatively speaking), which sadly made revisiting the game with an emulator less fun than it could have been. I'd love to try my hand at making a spiritual successor to it, but I couldn't make art assets to save my life...
AM radio has a strong political bent. Maybe that’s why?
Gentoo already does retain old libraries until all dependends are updated so encoding the abi change in places where ABI changes are supposed to be encoded (architecture and SONAME) would solve this problem.
You have probably confused unity builds from precompiled header files, which can be combined in the same fashion.

Unity builds just mean the combined compilation of otherwise multiple files and therefore the reduction of output files to be further processed. An unqualified "unity build" typically means unity builds where inputs are source files and outputs are object files to be linked. This is most evident by considering how would you use corresponding header files from your project: you would still include the same set of header files.

PCH unity builds would instead force you to include a single dedicated header file, like `#include "pch.h"`. I never heard them to be called just "unity builds" in my experience, in fact it was more likely that "PCH" implied a unity build of PCH files.

Type safety is one of the goals of the language I don't see a reason to throw it out of the window now. I see what you mean, but the type system is one of the things that makes gleam pragmatic. If you really need some missing OTP feature you can super easily step into Erlang using FFI and get it. That's one of the reasons the article doesn't call gleam pure.
We’re talking about US legislation though. So it’s very relevant.
currently AI focus is very narrow. I treat it like a junior dev where it can repeat structure it's given and then I basically "approve" it or I use it like a super robust autocomplete where it knows what I'm writing next like 80% of the time. also good for bouncing ideas to see if there's something someone else had done similarly.

there is no way in hell I would tell it to "generate X feature" or "fix X bug" wholesale. half the time it is just dead wrong in it's approach and it's more time consuming to grok what it did exactly and then either 1) suggest an alternate approach and 2) fix what it did wrong.

like i get it, in the end if it generates the right code and it works then most people will call it a day. but longevity is in being able to understand and maintain your codebase and at this point i can't trust it to do that. it some sense it reminds me of (and still reminds me of) those wysiwyg site builders where sure, your output might be fine for 90% of those cases like a simple landing page but the code underneath is a big pile of shit. good luck if you need to break out of that box at any point.

i guess all to say AI will start replacing low level static site facing stuff. for instance if you're selling cookie cutter WP themes i'd be worried at some point. for everything else it's a non-factor right now.

Designers often focus on perfecting individual screens, but here’s the truth: it’s the entire user flow that makes or breaks the user experience. Whether it’s navigating app settings, filling out a form, or exploring a new feature, designing flows holistically is the key to intuitive UI design.

Why User Flows?

When you design a user flow, you’re mapping out the entire journey users take, not just isolated screens. This approach helps you see the bigger picture, identify friction points, and create a seamless, user-centric experience.

Quick Steps to Design Effective User Flows:

1. Map Out the Journey: Visualize the user’s path through any interaction, identifying key touchpoints.
2. Consider User Scenarios: Think about different types of users and how they might interact with your design.
3. Design UI Elements to Support the Flow: Every screen and element should clearly guide the user to the next step.
4. Test and Iterate: Use prototypes to test the flow in real scenarios and adapt based on feedback.

Mastering user flows means designing with empathy and foresight. It’s time to stop obsessing over isolated screens and start thinking about the complete user journey.

Pretty much, yeah. Hence why I say the replacement for X is Wayland, but the replacement for NeWS is the browser/Electron.
If your goal is to use just one language then why wouldn’t you pick JavaScript (likely Typescript), C# with Blazor, Go with templates or basically anything on the JVM? Rust is a bad general purpose language in my opinion, and its performance isn’t actually good enough compared to C# to really justify the added headaches. I say this as someone who really, really, doesn’t like C# by the way.

If your goal is easy web development, Django, Ruby on Rails and Laravel are frankly going be extremely hard to beat. I prefer Go with templates, but that’s still much worse than those options.
The AM radio market isn’t dying at all.
Definitely a tangent, but what an amazing example of the fact that you do not need a social media company to facilitate (and often ruin) the stuff that modern connectivity allows us to experience with other people.

Instead of complaining about the status quo and going abstinent, this sort of mindset is such a good alternative.
The right solution would've been to remove all the stops. They defeat almost the whole purpose of the roundabout.
