My old head unit was all buttons and slipped into the dashboard in one piece with one plug too. In the custom stereo world having a touch screen interface always carried a premium over good old buttons. I’m not sure why that should change. Screens are much larger and full color on touch screen cars too compared to basic lcd alphanumeric screens.
That’s helpful thank you.

Also, like that there’s an online playground for trying it out.
The City of Long Beach itself did as a way to promote tourism. It was government funded and turned into a financial disaster too, with management of the ship changing hands a bunch of times because it wasn’t financially viable.

If the problems were caused by issues in the old Element Android (or Schildichat) app then yes - the Element X rewrite will likely fix it. It supports UnifiedPush, so if you're self-hosting a push gateway it should nicely integrate (as does Schildichat Next).

If the problem was in your push infrastructure, then the new app won't fix anything - however, UnifiedPush should be reliable these days (especially if you host your own instance; some of the shared ones are overloaded and/or deliberately throttle Matrix push). FCM obviously should be reliable too.
If you care about this rule, you can deny it on your projects (at the crate level or for individual items), but if it were an unconditional error then it would make things like FFI or following non-Rust naming conventions either annoying or impossible.
Depends on the trip but it's more like a hotel that shows up in a different city every day, so there's something new all the time if you get off the boat.
They pivoted pretty hard into AI, huh.

I remember when being multiplayer was their big selling point.
It really isn't though. Regardless of whether the above comment makes sense, Musk is just an incredibly public figure now, even in non-tech spaces. Also including the word family in your wording is weird, I guess this is part of American political & economical parlance.
If you're just talking about when something in a feedback loop gets disconnected (causing the output of the error amplifier to go to an extreme), you can do this with cruise control and a manual transmission (at least on some cars). Engage cruise control on the highway, then pop the car out of gear without using the clutch (so cruise control doesn't disengage). As the car's speed drops, the cruise control applies ever more throttle making the RPM shoot up. I've also done this going downhill with the car naturally gaining speed (and RPM going to idle).
Yes. the sliding sync proxy shim is gone; Synapse now uses its native database for sliding sync, same as the old sync API - so it works with both postgres & sqlite.
Quick, get me my BlackBerry!
I would invest in an M Macbook just for this reason, that battery life is insane even with wi-fi on, imagine no connectivity, should pass 15 hours.
I don't think there's any particular problem with rotating the engine in reverse while it's off, but on most manual transmissions that I'm aware of, first and reverse ratios are pretty similar, so likely not much to be gained.
These buttons are usually located so close to each other, that one PCB can hold many of them. Then you need just one set of wires which connects the ECU to the controller on the PCB.
God, how often are people gonna post this editor here. I guess you can sell everything as long as it says "AI".
That’s funny, I hadn’t thought of that. It very well might be true that turning pages is easier for people with more moisture in their skin.
Your point is well taken. I'll just say in OP's defense that it's describing an observation from a specific person's point of view at a specific point in time. And it's natural to feel the deaths in one's group more keenly than other groups.

As far as the facts go, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Action_Day seems to be about this event, and it doesn't split casualties between Hindu and Muslim. That seems like important context for sure.
During a period I flirted with architecture as a career, brutalism can, in very specific applications , work well. But ditto to pressure washing in some applications.
A lot of people don't realise that you can push both the up and down button at the same time to set a hob ring to zero intensity. So level 9 to level 2 is actually just three presses.
There are a couple WIP PRs for Helix key-bindings in their repo. It is what I am also waiting for to try it out more seriously.
I have a rechargeable, wireless mouse. It's not fruit-branded.

The thing about my mouse is that when the battery gets low, I can just connect it to my laptop with the charging cable and continue working. It's much more convenient than quitting for the day, and cheaper than buying a second mouse.
Your definition of waste is likely different to other peoples.
Remember that someone needs to manufacture those buttons, install them in the factory, stock them for replacement and keep them around several countries in the world in warehouses for when they break.

Now replace all that with a single screen and suddenly costs savings everywhere \o/
> The Super Nintendo didn't need to render mixed direction scripts from different languages at 120fps.

So what? None of that stuff necessitates such obnoxious computing requirements. How would you fill 2.4 billion bits of ram with the stuff needed to support a 120hz display? You can run quake 3 at 120fps on a potato, and I promise you a full multiplayer 3d game engine has much higher ram and compute requirements than a font engine with a single font loaded.

> it's because nobody is willing to pay for the kind of responsiveness of yore anymore.

Aren't they? With an attitude like that, how would you know?

Sometimes I imagine an alternate universe where computer hardware doesn't get faster every year. In this world, consumers only replace their computers and phones when they physically break. As a result, our software couldn't keep getting slower over time. Any increasing bloat & new features would usually need to be "paid for" performance wise with newly added optimisations.

For most consumers, everything would look more or less the same. All the software most people depend on (email, teams, the web, etc) would run the same as it does today. But miraculously, people would save thousands every year by getting off the computer hardware treadmill. Across the whole world, hundreds of billions of dollars per year of money spent on computers would be saved.

There's no way you could convince someone living in that alternate reality that our reality makes any amount of sense.

The cost would be that programmers would need to stop getting increasingly lazy every year. We'd just need to stop at the current laziness level. Can we manage that? Apparently not. Instead we have attitudes like yours. "My hello world app is actually similar to crysis in its computing requirements. It somehow needs 300mb of RAM to be able to render text at 120fps, because thats how that works."
>What?

There is no way to demonstrate that what is executing is the source code unless you're compiling at execution time from a local vetted copy of the source code. Is the guy who vetted the source code vetted? Who vets the vetter? Is the compiler actually compiling the source code? Is the compiler compiling as generally expected? What about bugs in the compiler? Is the source code even what it claims (binary blobs!)?

What about the hardware? Are there any black box enclaves? Bugs? Does it actually crunch as would be generally expected of a number cruncher? Does it even have the vetted software?

All this complexity and anyone would be fully within their right to say "I don't and won't trust this."

Meanwhile, someone counting paper ballots by hand can be immediately understood by anyone and everyone. It's simple and it's brutally effective. So what if the process takes time? Good stuff usually takes time, what's the rush? So what if the human counter(s) screw up? Human errors are inevitable, that's why you count multiple times to confirm the results can be repeated.

The most secure, most hardened, most certified ballot counting machine cannot compare to a simple human counting paper ballots in witness of anyone and everyone.
A touch screen imposes additional lag, though. Detecting finger swipes for left/right, for example, requires more processing than spinning a fucking dial or pressing on a button. But, like you said, performance doesn't matter anymore to the companies that design these interfaces. We should have criminal laws for this type of thing along with the return to proper hardware interfaces. Lack of performance should be a criminal offense.
While I was there it was obviously a gathering, but for any event, and India being so huge, everyone comes from all over the country. They stay for 1-2 weeks minimum, no hotel rooms.

So people are staying 4-5 families per house. Everyone just sleeps on couches, floor mats, moms & babies get the beds. etc...

But besides that its just a community based culture. Family, cousins, neighbors are always over... there are maids/helpers staying over.
Heh, I will see your “distasteful” adjective and raise you “nauseating”. I got a newish Subaru as a rental a couple of months ago and found both city and highway driving left me feeling slightly disoriented all the time.
What makes Japanese food packaging more innovative and user-centric?
...and that's precisely why they are faster, if you can throw out decades of compatibility flags you can avoid expensive branching and such to make them faster. That's why such projects should be called alternatives, and not replacements, it's not a replacement if it cannot be seamlessly replaced and decades worth of scripts can continue working.
I’m into classic European cars and am horrified by the people replacing high end vintage german head units that integrate with the rest of the car, e.g. speed sensitive volume for shitty alibaba touch screens.
> Sugar is not the cause of diabetes.

That was a surprising statement to me, a layperson on the matter, so I ran to the Mayo clinic to check: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-2-diabet...

As far as I can tell, we do not know why it happens, but monitoring sugar intake is a key strategy for managing the disease, which also has no known cure.

Assume type 2 diabetes is actually just a natural phenomenon associated with aging, that hits some people earlier, some later, and some little or not at all. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that careful moderation of sugar intake is still a good idea?

Regarding sugar consumption declining while T2D and NAFLD increase, could it be the case that metabolic effects could translate to genetic mutations that are expressed in later generations?

They are both cause and effect: we accept longer distances because cars are reliable and we insist on reliable cars because they are necessary. You can’t get one without the other.
Most companies do stock buybacks as a way to pay out bonuses to employees and execs with a lower tax rate. Since RSUs are taxed lower (I think), companies pay employees with those. But those grants are given by creating new shares. To not dilute the value of these shares, the company needs to keep buying back shares.

Which 10k votes?

How are you going to have 5 digit numbers of fraudulent voter registrations ready to deploy in all of the critical areas, but also ready to enjoy intense public scrutiny before and after the election. Voter registration databases are public, more or less, so you need to figure out how to fool the people running the election as well as the third party watchers, statisticians, academics, journalists and the veritable army of people who could have their entire career made by uncovering fraud.
Absolutely not. GitHub is usually used as a CDN for updates distributed in binary form; it is run by Microsoft.

If I download source and build and run it, and it downloads binaries from Microsoft and runs those, that isn’t remotely “the same people”.
That's the crux of the issue. Vscode works ok because you can run it as a server, but other IDEs (yes there are others) are slow.

It's kinda bearable with buttons because you get feedback. The ATM I use isn't the speediest thing but the buttons have a very tactile feel and it beeps at you for every press. It might not be "impressive", but it does cause forty dollars to appear and that's really all I wanted from it.

Now ask anyone with a touch screen in their car what their error rate on that thing is. Even the really good ones are pretty bad.
The big question with these is always: how does it layout? Having text to diagram is great until you have moderately complicated diagrams that turn into a mess using the automated layout engine.

Apparently though, these people know what they're doing and wrote their own, specific for software architecture! Very curious to see if it works well.
I've been curious on when AI was going to feel compelling for me to try. I might give this a try.

I've had a subscription to some LLM service for ages, but overall i just haven't found it useful at all for programming. Maybe with this Context workflow it'll be nice.

Though from the video it sounds like it might be difficult to get access to it?
You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.

Well I’m sure intel hopes they are.

But given the positions of AMD, Apple, and Nvidia, they aren’t. The only real concerns would be warranty obligations, but it isn’t like Intel would just disappear over night - they’d be gobbled up by somebody bigger (which at this point is literally everybody else in the industry) and presumably as part of an acquisition or Chapter 11 the buyer would have to agree to honor warranty claims for it to pass regulatory or court approval.

Gonna be one hell of a show watching them death spiral. 60ish years of inertia and corporate ego will will surely not go quietly into that good night, even when it’s inevitable.
I would suggest that the solution is less voting. Ballots are insanely complicated and there’s absolutely zero knowledge the average person has about whether any of the people are good candidates. So then they turn to their favorite voting guides which just shifts the power to unaccountable political groups instead of making the single representative you elect responsible for figuring it out. And there’s too many elections - non presidential year elections give the power to a motivated and vocal minority which is not what you want because it lets shit stirrers seize control when no one is paying attention.

Parliamentary systems are the only democratic systems I’m aware of that ever features more than 2 parties in a FPTP system as well.
Nature does not make campaign contributions, plus all it does is stop the developers that do bribe (contribute) to loose a big money making opportunity. That is why.
Housing is the cause of 90% of the problems in the west, and that's driven by democratic policies to restrict the supply, not by capitalism.
> Sorry for being so negative but why do people keep building these Actor frameworks for Rust? None of them get any usage.

There are good answers already on the actual "why", but I'd like to point out that "none of them get any usage" is a much better reason to build a new one than "there's already a library dominating the ecosystem". Clearly none of the existing libraries, for one reason or another, have been deemed interesting enough, let's see someone else try
My experience is funnily enough the opposite. When on fixed-price, it was always an argument about if something was a bug (thus I had to fix for free), ambiguously specified or a change from original requirements (they would have to pay to change for the last two). I felt we always were adversary to each other.

With an hourly contract, we're on the same team and try to use me for the most valuable stuff as long as you have me.

Ive seen several coreutils reimplementations just using the name "coreutils" for themselves. I doubt anyone in the original project cares, but seems in bad taste to me.

Only 50% uptime on average (less if you count eclipses), with the duty cycle varying throughout the year. I’d have expected the producers of sunlight to have improved this by now!
First of all, they shouldn't care.

But second, they do care. Even if they shouldn't.

I was laid off 2 years ago. I was given all the opportunities to find another internal job. I send my resume to a number of managers. I didn't hear back. Why? Because the CEO told the managers to ignore me? I doubt that. The managers, knowing about all the likely advantages of internal hires (I was familiar with the infrastructure, with the culture, I had a network, etc) decided to not hire me.

The company went out of its way to improve my experience. They know it's not fun for people to be laid off, so they did the best they could to soften the blow. I was paid for 4 months, and I was officially still on the pay-roll for 3 months (i.e. I was still covered by the health insurance, I did not need to get COBRA). I received free coaching from a consulting company, to assist me with improving my resume and interviewing skills. The company pays for former laid-off employees to come and tell their story to the freshly laid-off. The company even continued to match my 401k for the 3 months I was not working, but officially still on the payroll.

My experience was very positive. Of course, I can't generalize, I'm sure other people felt differently.

But here I am. A guy who had gone through the experience of being laid off, and who defends the rights of CEO's to lay off people, if that's in the best interest of their company.

It's not just the investors and creditors that need to be wiped out. Above all else the managers need to be fired, with no bonuses or golden parachutes.
All of these "destructive industry is a way of life" articles seem like blatant propaganda to me. Of course the logging industry (read: the capitalists who own the logging companies) want logging to continue. Those of us who inhabit these mountains aren't so keen on seeing entire ecosystems destroyed.

I say let em go out of business and get a real job.
I started programming in Pascal, C and C++, so personally I’m fine with manual memory management, especially with a language like Zig. I actually find it quite refreshing. I’m just wondering if it’s possible to “scale” this approach to a team of developers who may not have that past experience (having only worked with GCed languages) without ending in a code base littered with use-after-free errors.
You run emacs on the Linux side now though, right? So you're probably better off that way.

No. Everyone knows free speech can create violence. Sadly free speech includes lying, victimisation of others and creating false expectations. Perhaps "helpful speech" is a better alternative?
What is the basis of your confidence?

When tech companies say the need more power, and want more coal plants, and more nuclear reactors, and promise the techno-fantasy of working fusion power in 10 years, why should they be able to out-compete the de-carbonizing the rest of the economy?

When you look at the decades of promises to cut CO2 emissions, only to see them go by the wayside, what do you think has changed?

When there are only two main phone OSes, it's easy for the EU to consider requiring spyware on all phones ("ChatControl").
