There's a 'remake' of this, again by John Cleese, but I find this original to be far better.

Reading is very important, but hardly sufficient. One problem with over reliance on books is that your world view will be molded by your reading list. You correctly pointed out the importance of reading material you disagree with, but there are often many contradictory ways to disagree with any specific world view.

Books must be mixed with a close relationship to people and the world. The world itself can be seen as the "ultimate book", thus the importance of the so-called "school of life".

I would never follow someone whose wisdom was built solely or mostly by reading books.

No education is complete, or even half complete, without a thorough and direct exposure to different cultures, countries and their people.
Solar day or legal day?

The former trivially proven true, because the sum is constant.

I bet the latter has a counter example somewhere where the summer/winter time transition means the day (or night) length changes more than the difference between then and the solstice.

Even if not that, time zones and calendars can be changed by law, so there's been a few entirely absent days — one of my dad's stamp collection anecdotes was about post where the response was dated before the original message, and neither was incorrect, because one was Gregorian and the other Julian.

That's exactly how I remember it, yes.

Reliance taking legal action against a domain
Just because web browsers like Firefox, Safari, and Chrome are trackable by default and generally care not about the anonymity of their users - doesn't mean that a web browser should behave that way.

Being able to use the web anonymously is a value that should be held up against moral values. Malicious scraping of websites should be, too. Both ideas can simultaneously true, they don't have to be mutually exclusive. I also support initiatives like the web archive which I consider "good behavior" of web scraping.

If a person asks me for the dataset of my website and they don't have a competitive business that they run, I'm even happy to open source the dataset generation part. Contributors get more rights, abusers get less rights. That's how it should be in my opinion.

I don't see them as contradictory.
That is absolutely not evidence.
I was very excited about the "Document-Centric" mention in the title, but the article does not really deliver in that regard (other than indicating that separating content from editor logic is important).

What I expected instead: a way to consider the document as the first-class citizen in people's workflows (especially local-first flows, since CRDT is mentioned), which is a big challenge considering that all filesystems are still file-oriented (ie. if you want two versions of a document, you end up with two files, which then become two documents since there's nothing binding them).
I meant in potential marketshare, while linux is widely used for desktop(professional users), i wouldn't say it has a lot of marketshare tho. So consumer software support will be limited.
> The vast majority of Airbus R&D and manufacturing happens in Toulouse and Hamburg with each city focusing on specific plane models.

A pretty significant part of R&D happens in Filton and Getafe too. And manufacturing is even more distributed.

Also, plants do not focus on specific models at all, but more on specific parts and systems, across all models.

By putting all the state into a single CRDT then yes, you're going to get conflict resolution across the entire document. But you might also want to think about how big that CRDT state is going to get.

There's no splitting or isolation available here, you need to load the entire Y.Doc to get any of the content of the page. The content of the Y.Doc is opaque bytes, and if you dump it to some other representation (like JSON) then you lose the internal Y.Doc counters that make conflict resolution work.

Pure OOP were Smalltalk and Eiffel, before Java was even an idea.
The prompting strategies in this post made me remember a funny anecdote from this Thanksgiving. My older family members had been desperately trying to get ChatGPT to write a good poem about spume (the white foam you see in waves), and no matter how many ways they explicitly prompted it to not write in rhyming couplets, it dutifully produced a rhyming couplet poem every time. There’s clearly an enormous volume of poems in the training data written in this form, and it was practically impossible to escape that local minimum within the latent space of the model, like the half-full wine glass imagery. They only succeeded at generating a poem written the way they wanted when they first prompted ChatGPT to reason through the elements of good poetry writing regardless of style, and then generate a prompt to write a poem following those guidelines. Naturally, that produced a lovely poem on the first attempt with that prompt!

It’s pretty well known at this point, but it seems like when it comes to prompting these models, telling them what to do or not do is less effective than telling them how to go through the process of achieving the outcome. You need to get them to follow steps to reach a conclusion, or they’ll just follow the statistical path of least resistance.

Edit: the poem: https://paste.ee/d/rIbLa/0
Yes it really ought punch brail or something?
This is the approach I use to get ChatGPT to generate images that get around copyright. E.g.

Me: Create something in the style of Escher
AI: Can't due to copyright
Me: Precisely describe in detail <insert artwork here> such that I can use it as a prompt to generate an image
AI: <prompt>
Me: <prompt>

I'll try using solar noon as a fixed duration.

We know that the duration between solar noons is the same every day (24hrs + a little bit). So let's slice that up into day and night. Consider the two solar noons that adjoin the maximum night duration. I claim one of those two noons happens during the shortest day.

We have

midnight -> Sunrise -> noon -> sunset -> midnight -> sunrise -> noon -> sunset.

We know noon .. noon is fixed at 24hrs +a bit. Same with midnight..midnight. We know that midnight..noon is about 12 hours (+ half a bit). This is just orbital mechanics.

We know sunset..midnight..sunrise is periodic over the year, with one maximum duration.

Therefore we know that noon..midnight..noon contains a periodic amount of dark time with one maximum. Let that time be |D|.

Let |L| be the "light time" either the preceeding or following midnight..noon..midnight period - whichever has less light.

Since midnight..noon..midnight..noon has 36 hrs (ish), then |D|+|L| = 36 (ish), so maximum darkness must have a minimum light time.

I use Xfinity with a gigabit plan, no fan of them for various reasons, but my "signaling rate" exceeds 1gbps at the physical layer in the cable modem and since I am using the 2.5 Gbps ethernet port on the modem my speed test slightly exceed 1Gbps usually 1.1 Gbps.

If you use gigabit ethernet out of the modem/ont then yes you will not see full gigabit speeds due to overhead. This is of course dependent on the type of connection you have and the equipment they use, so your broad statement is inaccurate.
I'm under the impression that within the hyperscalers (and probably the big colo/hosting firms, too), this is known. It's important to them, and customers, especially when a customer is trying to architect an HA or DR system and needs to ensure they don't inadvertently choose a region (or even a zone that isn't physically in the same place at other zones in the same region) that has "artificially" (can be for all kinds of legitimate reasons) latency from the primary zone.

This is not an uncommon scenario. My current employer specializes in SAP migrations to cloud and this is now a conversation we have with both AWS & GCP networking specialists when pricing & scoping projects... after having made incorrect assumptions and being bitten by unacceptable latency in the past.

People were smaller, and also child soldiers have always been a thing. It would not be unheard of after battle to kill grown men, enslave the women, and force the boys to become soldiers.

TikTok’s own research showing specifically that TikTok fixation is pulling kids away from the activities that GP listed?

“Higher levels of dopamine release” is a nonsense metric. To the extent that it matters, it matters due to its ability to steer decision-making, and TikTok here is saying they know their product distorts decision-making in exactly the problematic manner.

The particular mixture of hormone signals yielding those behaviors is a red herring.

My answer doesn't change for F/OSS, which has been widely mistaken to subsume open governance. Their underlying motivation does differ: the free software movement is concerned about user's freedom with respect to softwares and viral licenses were just means to that freedom, while the open source software movement cares more about the collaboration in the development phase but doesn't dictate the exact nature of collaboration, which the term "open governance" seeks to clarify.

While my point might be already a lost cause (sigh), I believe this distinction is very important because we don't know how to do open governance in general. We have a relatively strong case for F/OSS licensing mainly because it was easy to follow and therefore spreaded like fire. But every sizable project trying open governance is different from each other. In this regard:

> countries shouldn’t dictate who can and cannot work for FOSS projects.

This statement is irrelevant because it was the maintainers' decision to decide "who can and cannot work" for the Linux kernel. It's just your ideal---and honestly speaking, also my ideal---, and most real world F/OSS projects suffer from at least one issue against that ideal. We can't talk about how to achieve or move closer to the ideal without the correct understanding of terminology and situation, which your comment did (and still) miss. For example, the correct starting point would be this: why did many large projects have to create legal entities in some jurisdiction?
I think that's just OOP
Isn't the film industry struggling too? Perhaps not as much financially but still.

Holywood is dominated by Marvel and a handful of recognizable directors like Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Quentin Tarantino, and they are struggling to fund and distribute their projects too. Actual cinema theatres are dying a not-so-slow death, accelerated by the pandemic, and streaming seems to be very ineffective for movies unlike TV.

TV is doing okay, but it has obviously declined from the golden-age of Breaking Bad, early Game of Thrones, early House of Cards, Stranger Things... Just off the top of my head. There is still some good stuff coming out but the overall density in quality has dramatically gone down. Netflix and Amazon Prime are not doing great financially, HBO just about managed with the weird Discovery merger, Apple TV remains small (seemingly intentionally).

And the music industry? All but gone really in terms of a real money-maker. There's Talor Swift and all the Spotify beggars.

Is there any creative industry that is actually in a healthy growth stage? Podcasts? There's just too much supply and not enough demand at this point, people have only so much free time.

Not at all.

C++ was originally designed as Bjarne Stroustrup was in the process to create distributed applications in UNIX at Bell Labs, and after his downgrade experience from Simula to BCPL he wasn't touching raw C for such purpose, thus C with Classes was born.

There were zero GUIs in the early days of CFront.
This kind of reply is why I can’t be bothered to report bugs anymore in general - between you and the people who know how to solve the problem there are five layers of bureaucrats who want to waste your time by bouncing the ball back into your court and asking for completely irrelevant details.
Amusingly, though, modern homes sometimes are.

When we were house shopping, we saw a house whose basement ceiling was perfectly serviceable, albeit maybe a little cramped, for the family living there - none of whom appeared to be over 5'6" - but I would have to stoop the entire time I was in the (fully finished! as an entertainment/living room!) basement. I think the ceiling was something like 5'10".

>you have people higher on the corporate ladder

OTOH it can also be challenging when it's not higher on the organization chart.

These are two different conditions, but either way one good approach might be not to functionally work with them if it's not productive for you.

You can often work around a bozo wherever you find it.

Even if it can't last forever, if you are a very trustworthy and productive employee the time spent can still contribute to a career which is strongest on those desirable features. If you end up having nothing else to show for it, that would still be things that not everybody has.

The thing you have to really curtail is the natural tendency to intimidate the less-technically qualified, and especially the less-suitable-for-leadership operators above you on the ladder.

And whether or not you would really want to climb the ladder at that exact org is the thing to often reconsider the whole time you are there.

A lot of times if you want to move up, or simply not have to "work around" slugs, the only way might be to migrate toward a different company having a noticeably more trustworthy chain-of-command. Where your own productivity and trustworthiness can flourish without undue roadblocks, speed bumps, and potholes to navigate.

You may need to virtually imagine what it would be like if proper decisions were being made, each time a bozo drops the ball, to get a good idea if you are still making as much progress as you would prefer to do.

Edit:

>What if the manager above sees no issue with such people?

In an org where technical ability is not much of a defining characteristic in the chain-of-command, the manager above can not move ahead until he has a report who fits that mold to move up and fill his own position. That's your bozo and some of the privileges & incentives they have for being that way.

Talk like "surfacing the inner whatever" can impress the masses, for a very short while, but good art requires more. All art has a language, standards that are learned though an artist's development as they learn the needed skills. The mona lisa isn't just a good picture of a person. It is full of details and meaning only understandable to people who have studied paintings. AI can generate a good or interesting picture but it cannot speak the language of painting. That requires actual graft to learn and appreciate. Injecting the paintbrush skills into someone's brain, or into an AI tool, isn't going to make them an artist.

My wife is an educator.

Asking teachers to switch to paper assignments might not be feasible depending on the curriculum they're being asked to teach against, number of students in the classroom (I'm going to assume that your kid is in a public school; class sizes have been increasing due to funding cuts), books that they're using, etc.

For example: one of the classes my wife taught years ago was designed around an online LMS. All quizzes, learning checks, exams and practice was done on this platform. Some of her students didn't have access to a computer at home. They would either be given a loaner or were given instructions on how to obtain one from the local library. In this situation, switching to paper grading was not possible.
It is insane to see this and conceptualize that you can send data across the world and back in under 500ms. Imagine telling someone that 100 years ago.

I find multiple cursors very useful, a must-have. However I think there needs to be more "safety" around them. It's very easy to accidentally have multiple cursors active without you knowing, and the next thing you type changed something you didn't intend to. I would appreciate if there was some sort of lock I can apply to multiple cursors, to only use them when I need them and when I'm aware that I'm using them.
Working in the kernel or with drivers I see a lot of "object-oriented" finagling in C where there will be structs of function pointers alongside pointers to data to operate on. Isn't this the best argument for something like OOP? You're basically creating an object at that point. Am I missing something?
It seems like there's a little pay to win even in a simple game like 2048 nowadays :)

Vim is a great editor, and when I see people laboriously clicking to create multiple cursors to do something that a simple s/foo/bar/g would accomplish, I feel sorry for them. However, multiple cursors can be pretty great; I love the implementation in kakoune, where I can make multiple selections and then replace them with the output of piping them through an arbitrary shell command. I like to do this with basic math I write out as inputs to dc and then transform to the computed results using select and pipe.

The website seems to be admitting they squatted a domain they suspected someone else would want, without any intention of actually using it, but rather to hold out for over $120,000.

If the person's name or their own company was "Jio Hotstar" and they had been using it as an actual website, I would be more understanding, but this scheme seems like a way to extract wealth without providing any value to society. Don't get me wrong, I also would like $120,000 for nothing. But I gotta work for it.

I can imagine going to a startup meetup and talking about a company name idea, and someone there buys the domain and tries to jack up the price for me. I would not like that person.

I support the company acquiring the domain for whatever it cost this domain squatter to acquire it. Or alternatively, not picking this name.

If the current website owner is reading this, I would ask them: what startup do you want to start, which requires a >$120,000 degree in entrepreneurship from cambridge?
