With react-strict-dom, you'll be able to have far better code sharing between web and native. It will greatly assist the development of universal apps that target Web, iOS, and Android.

Right now react-native-web is not nearly as good as iOS and Android react-native. react-strict-dom is a massive leap forward for universal apps.
> The voting is pretty much as shown. People vote on what the protagonist (usually Amu) tries to do, I decide what actually happens. It's a kind of communal roleplaying game; a quest, in SV parlance.

That's pretty cool! At first when I saw the boon/bane thing, I thought you were writing one of those RPG style choose your own adventure gamebooks I remember reading in the 90s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebook

I wasn't disappointed, I just got my hopes up a bit. Once I figured out a bit more about the quest and how it worked, I didn't even look at the comments or votes, just went right to the reader mode.

Have you played any visual novel games or interactive fiction? I think you would be good at making one!

As for that anime, it seems neat from what I've read. I see that it's on Amazon Prime and also seems to have some fansubs maybe? How should I experience it?

As for myself, I just started watching the new 3D/CGI Gundam anime on Netflix, and it's pretty well done. I think they're using Unreal Engine to animate it, and the production values on it are really quite high, though I know 3D/CGI anime are controversial in the anime fandom, to say the least. I'm a Gundam fan though, and I like what they've done with the opportunity.

So does VSCode though. Are you thinking of Visual Studio?
I more commonly solve a problem like this one with /findtext<CR>creplacetext<Esc>n.n.n.n.

Remembering the syntax is not a problem here. Learning it in the first place, on the other hand...

I do like multiple cursors though. I end up switching to VSCode a couple times a week to do things where it's the right tool for the job.

Regardless of literal truth, it puts the focus in the wrong place. Your emphasis makes it so the only conclusion is that no experts can trusted. With the complexity and interconnectedness of modern society this is essentially untenable, but yet the simplicity appeals to people's gut feelings. Meanwhile compromise and middlegrounds are boring.

This is the basic anti-intellectualism powering the cancer that devoured the republican party [0]. So despite your seemingly only trying to criticize the excesses of your closer camp, you've inadvertently added to the polarized environment. If we can no longer assume that people who have spent their careers studying things and developing nuanced opinions are closer to right than wrong, then for every question there is but two possible answers.

[0] and one of the main reasons it's no longer appropriate to call them conservative so instead I use Moldbug's own word reactionary. Meanwhile the democratic party is checking most conservative boxes these days. This also trivially explains things like the "hyper liberalization" of college campuses and tone policing in general - it's actually a standard hallmark of conservatism.
Freeing Glucose Data from Freestyle
Very useful guide. I'm incredibly frustrated by how Libre shows more effort put into preventing others from building a similar app instead of just building a good app in the first place.

They could make so many people so happy if they just gave us a damn good app.

I also can't see how this benefits them at all - their app isn't tied into monetisation, it's free to download (replacing their own chargeable reader!), and it doesn't work at all without a sensor (the paid component).

The only reasons I can think of are:
- legal restrictions on them as a healthcare provider?
- preventing users from jailbreaking it to work longer (honestly people only do this if they legitimately can't afford a new one)
- they want user data for monetisable purposes

Thoughts?
Here’s the actual proposal: https://safecpp.org/draft.html

It explains its own motivation.
The 'bandwidth' analogy breaks down because it assumes AI's value lies in processing more information, rather than processing information more intelligently. Increasing broadcast bandwidth added linear value, but AI's advancements come from complexity, nuance, and understanding - not just sheer volume of data. 'Infinite bandwidth' doesn't guarantee better insights or decision-making; it may even lead to information overload and decreased relevance.
I don't know whether Tesla batteries are actually better than average. What Tesla absolutely does better than average is their battery management system. Tesla does an exquisite job of keeping their batteries at the optimal temperature and never overcharging them or charging them too fast.

Any lithium battery -- even a bad one -- will last much longer with a great BMS.
Would it have come over the spice roads all the way from eastern china or would it have been pirate loot sold in Mumbai and then fenced farther west?
I should not have posted a comment that simply contradicted you. My bad.

The first mentions lead once. The second does not mention any region of present-day China, as far as I can tell. I can't see the information there.
If I were reviewing the original code, the first thing I’d question is the line

user.password = await hashPassword(user.password);

1. As a rule, mutations are harder to understand than giving new names to newly defined values.

2. The mutation here apparently modifies an object passed into the function, which is a side effect that callers might not expect after the function returns.

3. The mutation here apparently changes whether user.password holds a safe hashed password or a dangerous plain text password, which are bad values to risk mixing up later.

4. It’s not immediately obvious why hashing a password should be an asynchronous operation, but there’s nothing here to tell the reader why we need to await its result.

At least three of those problems could trivially be avoided by naming the result hashedPassword and, ideally, using TypeScript to ensure that mixing up plain text and hashed passwords generates a type error at build time.

I do agree with many of the other comments here as well. However, I think the above is more serious, because it actually risks the program behaving incorrectly in various ways. Questions like whether to use guard clauses or extract the password check into its own function are more subjective, as long as the code is written clearly and correctly whichever choices are made.
I am intimately familiar with the dysfunctions of various language committees.

Haha I didn’t parse it that way but I can see how you thought that upon rereading. I just want to understand why we would hear the RAT when there wasn’t an emergency overhead. I supposed planes regularly test them?
I don't disagree with you, but Valorant is the first and only FPS played by millions of people, so I can see why its presented this way. The vast majority of the audience has no prior art context, so Riot can get away with it :)

The borrow checker works irrespective of the heap. Memory safety involves all pointers, not just ones that own a heap allocation.
This is what I always wonder. Any time I see a news story (even on MSM) marked as "BREAKING" or "EXCLUSIVE", I'm like... who cares? That just means you either a) rushed to publish without making sure you got your details right, or b) you paid someone to not shop their story around to other outlets (which is gross).

My life would not have been impacted in the least knowing about the Trump assassination attempt a few hours later (or even the next day), rather than minutes after it happened.

The MSM has enough problems these days with journalistic integrity and practices. I don't think the teeming mobs on Twitter are an improvement, though.
Flutter on the web is an absolute JOKE though. React native web & react-strict-dom seem far superior. The moment you want to support web as well, react-native blows flutter away.

Also how's the accessibility on Flutter? I'm pretty skeptical that it's going to have decent accessibility given the game-engine style rendering.
Where do you live? Everything you said could be a mental exercise in this third world country: It makes sense, but it is not reality.

New cars in here (at least chevrolet, isuzu and toyotas) are being shipped with a touchscreen. As you say, it covers the camera display, the infotaiment and map navigation. Everything else still has manual controls, THANK GOD. For instance AC, lights, wipers.

I currently have a 2017 Mazda Bt50
it didnt have the touchscreen. It does have a rearview camera, and the image is displayed in a little square screen in the central rearview mirror. It also has a frontal camera and both of them can record video continuosly. You can have Features without a "general purpose computer"

The most common transmission is manual, automatic costs around $1000 more. Why? Market preference. We do have some poorly maintained roads, and some dirt roads, mind you.

The only reason to ship all controls in a touchscreen is because it is fancy, and since it is already there, they want to save some money by not including physical buttons.
How about "we" use IPv6 instead, and nobody runs out of address space ever again?
Because the millions of lines of existing C++ aren't going anywhere. You need transition capability if you're ever gonna see widespread adoption. See: C++'s own adoption story; transpiling into C to get wider adoption into existing codebases.
>To eliminate the most obvious bias (1v5 coin), until all that could had been left was incidental?

There is only one coin, flipped _twice_; not a running occurrence, but in couples, perfectly simulating two coins functionally.

Once a literal couple of coins result in a XOR'd result eventually, no matter how biased - they differ - the exact ordinality of which will be random.

Two sides to a coin, no matter how random, still half the chance.

> Nobody should pretend that Twitter is a place where accurate information travels at light speed.

I agree, but I think a lot of people who use it view it that way.
Its more like a Rubick's cube - there is a trick to it. Getting a single tile to 2048 is fairly easy once you know it, and practically a guarantee once you've had a bit of practice.

The new powerups etc. are nice for removing a mistake, or for letting you get a score a little bit higher at the end game, but won't take you the distance unless you have good technique.

A big part of the magic is getting your head round it - like any other logic puzzle.
Yes, but you can challenge the bill. Otherwise anyone could send anyone to collections for anything.

I quit social media over 10 years ago, already having been a conscientious objector to Facebook and other platforms, much to the confusion of my classmates who didn't understand my idiosyncratic positions on digital privacy, attention span, banality, and brainrot.

It's gotten to the point where I view the narcissism of the modern 21st century social media user the same way I would view a crack addict smoking a pipe out in public, unable to pry their hands away from their glowing plastic rectangles, swiping incessantly in the hopes of getting just another dose of sweet dopamine with every refresh, or some artificial symbol of social validation in the form of more likes and upvotes.

Somehow even in the wake of the Snowden revelations people are still ambling off of cliffs for fear of being left behind by the herd of lemmings. I feel vindicated as the years go on with every news story or opinion piece I read about (dissatisfaction with) the growing encroachment of surveillance capitalism, ad-tech and social media into our personal lives, and all for what? Some shitty memes and "influencers" peddling their garbage through thinly veiled advertisements?

When I am exposed to mainstream social media content I can't believe people subject themselves to the digital equivalent of ass-to-mouth that is the brainrot of the algorithmically driven social media feed. If "you are what you eat" were analogized to an information diet, most social media users would be consuming informational shit and consequently producing the same 140-byte thoughts or reciting the same 5-second memes.

If the attention economy is indeed a real concept, there is a premium for the ability to hold your concentration on something for more than half an hour and produce thoughts whose complexity is more than just a few bytes.

So you're saying because of the prior minimum wage, both large and small employers would pay the same, so they have an equal shot at getting a given employee. But now that McDonald's has been forced to pay more, they naturally get all the best ones?

If so, that makes sense.

No, they wouldn't have to receive complaints. The FTC doesn't sit around waiting for complaints to take action. They also take action (sometimes) after receiving complaints, but it's not the only way.

That amounts to $1k per vehicle, so China subsidies are an order of magnitude smaller than US or EU subsidies.

I like the idea, but it seems to have come a little too late to save everything on Flickr.

Flickr themselves started purging any public images over a certain amount on free accounts.

I only found out after seeing a Flickr email in my spam inbox after several months of the start of the purge, so some of my images had already been purged.

I suppose their approach was still preferable to deleting everything at once.
Oh, well I can provide an example. Music League’s PWA on iOS is quite a bit better than the app — partly because you can avoid the ads!

Performance isn’t incredible, but neither is the “native” app (95% sure it’s react native or similar), which frequently dips below 60fps.

Yes, unlike Americans who apparently absolutely need to bake a whole turkey on a regular basis, Japanese don't normally bake stuff at home, so Japanese homes (at least in the big cities) don't normally come with built-in ovens. There's no space in Tokyo apartments for the comically-large ovens that are common in America, and the cuisine people make here doesn't normally need one, just a stovetop. For baked goods, people usually just buy them at the grocery store or bakery or other specialty shop.

My view is the ethnicity of the human shields in question shouldn't factor into your decision making. You shouldn't shoot through an Egyptian aid worker or Lebanese child if you wouldn't have shot through an Israeli hostage in their place.
Virtually everybody is using the BIP-39 / BIP-44 protocols to derive addresses from a 256 bit (or 128 bit) key.

If you have a way to generate 256 bit, you have a way to generate a Bitcoin (or Ethereum or whatever) wallet.

Some people trust their hardware wallet to generate a random 256 bit / 24 words (each word is 11 bit as the dictionary contains 2048 words: 24 words is 264 bits, 256 bit + 8 bit of checksum).

But others do it manually, in an analog way.

One way to do it to throw a 16-sided dice repeatedly: that's a good source of entropy. That's entirely analog.

BIP-39 has a checksum (4 bit for 128 bit keys and 8 bit for 256 bit keys), so you'll need some code to either find or verify the checksum. To do that people are typically going to use a fully offline/airgapped computer: for example an old desktop, without any Wifi capability, booted without any harddisk, from a Linux Live CD (I know, I know: you'll read their key from the electrical activity by tapping the electrical circuit outside their house or by firing a laser at their window, so it's not "fully airgapped": bla bla bla).

From that single 256 bit number you can derive wallets for all the coins you want.

Once people have generated their key by throwing dice, they'll typically store their key behind a HSM, on a hardware wallet. And the private key never leaves the hardware wallet (but can be used to sign transactions). And a "paper" copy of the key typically also lives in the analog world (and listen to Gandalf: "keep it safe", "keep it secure").

The video is definitely cool but creating a key in the real (non digital) world is something quite common.

However, this is less deranged than many of his frankly embarrassing public rants on other people’s code he didn’t like, I’ll give him that. Maybe that “ably” is relative.
The funny part is that it’s actually not a pain in the ass to distribute. On iOS, saving the current link to the homescreeen installs the PWA (if available). You don’t have to do anything other than tap a button in the share menu. iOS treats it like an app, showing it in the app switcher and search, etc.

People just don’t know it’s an option. And as you say, there are fewer native APIs available to it.
I suspect it's more to do with living close to work. Only a small percentage of people are able to move without that concern.

In 1986, then-U.S. Sen. Joe Biden said, “Supporting Israel is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

Israel is a satellite state of the US in all but name. You'd have a better shot at dissolving the UN entirely than suspending Israel.

What ive always wondered is why the US hasn't put Israel on the security council, considering it is a nuclear armed state.

I'm working on a longer piece of writing about this, but I think a lot of this comes down to the fact that my personal style of developing code is extremely compatible with LLMs.

I have hundreds of projects which are small single page HTML apps, single purpose command line, utilities or plugins for my larger projects.

All of these are short enough to fit into the context window of an LLM.

If all I worked on were 1-2 hundred thousand or million line applications I would get significantly less value out of LLMs.

They’re not unrelated: they’re the same experiment, looking for an aether — because spacetime is an aether theory.

When the original aether theory failed, they pointed out that you squish when moving in the aether, and so they detected aether waves rather than aether motion.
