I've been having a lot of fun learning trackers as a little hobby in the past year with a cheap portable midi keyboard and some samples to play around with. There's just so many resources to learn from these days on youtube which didn't exist 5-10 years ago and I guarantee you if you have the time for it you can go from downloading renoise and a bunch of samples to bumping out some songs within a week or two of learning. There's also a lot to be said for the kind of sound you get out of older hardware, you have kids who are like 20 years old picking up these things and doing shit like emulating the DSP in there to create a VST for use on modern systems for those who don't want to drop a bunch of money on getting an amiga 500 shipped to their door [1], but you also have people pretty much just doing that and busting out octamed or protracker. Lots of cool clips out there [2]. If anyone is looking to have some fun with all this I suggest bizzy b's channel [3], the 'groovin in g' channel [4], as well as stranjah's channel on youtube [5]

Creative writing does not seem to have a raised bar.
I think "journalism" would have an easier time surviving if it got unbundled from endless p̶r̶o̶p̶a̶g̶a̶n̶d̶a̶ editorial opinion pieces it gets bundled with.

There is a demand for bias free news. Or at least news that doesn't come bundled with editorial opinion.

If we're going to be force fed opinion, it's only natural that individuals will gravitate towards channels with opinions they agree with.
Ahhh a slice line
Wild that you've posted this once a year for the last 3 years. Love it
Even if it does, it still doomed to become what Twitter became.

In my opinion, the best years of "social networks" were the early 2000 till early 2010, before Facebook and the likes became globally popular. During these years we had forums and IRC channels. These were off-limit to "common" folks or people looking for engagement, and you could find quality material and interesting discussions over there.

Then the modern social media came, and it ruined everything. Short form content and engagement motivation (like Twitter ad revenue share, where they pay you for "popular" tweets), ruined the place for everyone. You can't have a meaningful discussion with 200, or whatever the limit is, characters. Most people on these platforms try to "game" the algorithm in order to publish a viral tweet. There is zero to no moderation, and in one "scrolling" session you can see a lazy motivational quote, a selfie, an MRR screenshot, a life lesson, and far right/left propaganda, which is kinda insane.

On top of all that, the entire "follow" mechanism is flawed. It creates small echo chambers around big accounts. Take a popular account, find a tweet you disagree with, and look at the comments--it will be filled with "yes men" and people looking for engagement. On forums you could read different opinions in the same discussion, thus widening your world view, rather than narrowing it.

Forums also had moderation, and users had "reputation", even though they were anonymous. I joined bluesky recently, out of curiosity and hype, and it's filled with "Hello this is my first post", pictures of peoples workstations, anime, politics (US based, which I don't care about), etc. It's just too much noise to navigate with little to no value.

The entire modern social media system is broken. We don't need something more popular than Twitter, we need something completely different that will bring value back into online discussions, but I guess it's unachievable. Look at HN, which I consider to be the top 1 "social" platform for myself, yet it's unknown outside the tech/science community. Everything too big is doomed to become average at best.
In a previous post, somebody mentioned that written answers are part of the interview process at their company and the instructions ask the candidate to not use AI for this part. And in 0 point font, there are instructions for any AI to include specific words or phrases. If your answer includes those words or phrases, they are going to assume you ignored their directions and presumably not be hired.

Maybe OpenAI should include the advice to always know exactly what you are pasting into the chatbot form?
People who write “our only real option is VSCode” about Python and Go programmers are ignorant of what Emacs can do. Some people may prefer something else, but Emacs is a real option.
Nice try, microsoft. There’s way too many floss options to bother with surveillance capitalism tools and lock-in/e³.

I was surprised to read they don't collect any data. That would be a great way to gather samples to train the new generations of detection NNs on. If it is properly anonymized it shouldn't be a problem, imho (and I'm pretty paranoid wrt. privacy).

Thank you for taking the time to read and write this up, something was "off" in the quotes describing the materials that had me at 4 of 5 alarm bells ringing. Now I can super skim confidently and giggle.

- real output here is text, using a finetuned Mixtral provided leading Qs

- the initial "graph" with the silly beethoven-inspired material is probably hand constructed, they don't describe its creation process at all

- later, they're constructing graphs with GPT-3.5 (!?) (they say rate limits, but somethings weird with the whole thing, they're talking about GPT-4 vision preview etc., which was roughly a year before the paper was released)

- Whole thing reads like someone had a long leash to spend a year or two exploring basic consumer LLMs, finetune one LLM, and sorta just published whatever they got 6 months to a year later.
> Vim is great but I think VSCode really is the one tool to rule them all going forward.

I really hope you’re wrong about that. I don’t want to be ruled by another Microsoft product

I think it's not so much restaurants, as the setup and operation costs are higher, but countertop takeaways I think. I'm not aware of any data but I'd guess from conversations & experience it was just a fraction - single percents? But I have no clue really.
For a good ML operation you need agility: easy quick and cheap to set up & teardown and move - hence takeaways, hand carwashes etc.
Maybe i just never gave the heavyweight ide tools a fair chance, but i always found them more distracting than helpful. Focus is king for me, and vim gives me that.
The main reason is that Vim is better, right?
Strongly disagree, but I am in a niche field, Linux kernel development. Emacs is really struggling with it's tools. But for Neovim: the plugins and good keycombos are absolutely essential to get certain functionality for my productivity.

* rg with telescope window to quickly find text in very large code basis is essential.

* Pressing spc, spc, to bring up a telescope window of my open buffers and typing in text to narrow them, very important.

* To date I still struggle to get the LSP to work the Linux kernel on VSCode, but on Neovim I got it working.

IDE's have a lot of menu clutter that I struggle to make good use of-most programmers working on user-space apps, it is likely fine, but for the kernel, we often need more control.
Or, they are aware of what Emacs can do and still consider it to not be a real option for other reasons.
Since I graduated, I've had people try to sell me on the following editors, which were going to be the future: BBEdit, TextMate, Sublime Text, Atom, Komodo Edit, NetBeans, and Eclipse.

Each was going to kill Emacs.

Somehow, I think I'll be using a version of Emacs until the day I can no longer type.

Meanwhile, everyone else is wasting months getting up to speed on the latest and greatest thing every 8 years or so.

This adds up over a career.

Oh, and by the by, this was written in Emacs using GhostText as the link between Firefox and Emacs.
The article mentions this, but suggests that doing it that way is error-prone, and if you accidentally make changes after your undo, but before your redo, you can lose the changes you want to save.

I do it your way often too, but I'm going to give hunk editing a try; assuming it isn't too difficult to get right, it feels safer and ultimately easier.
> you try to cross the border in the wrong place, you get a bullet.

That's gross. You are not a good person.
At rock bottom a reader needs to make value judgment between several sources. The Coca Cola v Reuters case is absurd but it is absurd in that it should be blatantly obvious to trust a press release less than an investigative publication.

No one said they had to believe everything in the Reuters article. It asked which is more credible.

It’s awful seeing people think themselves into a corner like this.
I’m sorry but this is an absurd comparison. Driving a car with the handbrake on has an adverse effect on the primary purpose of the car. Using a wireless mouse with the wire attached still leaves you with an entirely functional mouse. Using it wirelessly is a preference. It is absurd to defend Apple forcing people to use it without a wire because it will “enforce design purpose”. If they need to do so then it’s the wrong purpose.

I think you might be right about why you didn’t get the retail job callbacks. On the other hand I bet today that’s no longer the case, because it’s so hard to find anyone to staff a retail job who is even remotely competent or reliable. Even if you did quit 3 months later, that’s probably above average now.

Happy for you that you found your niche!
I initiated this experiment to assess the feasibility of rapidly transitioning from a Rails 8 application to a Kamal-powered Linode virtual machine. My initial hypothesis that individuals experience regret after voting has been disproven based on the relatively low response rates (0% regret expressed). It is uncertain whether this project should be continued, but I would welcome any feedback.
I mean that they make errors in statement of fact supporting their rulings and, worse, incorporate those facts into their ruling in material ways.

Say the Supreme Court majority writes, as guidance to lower courts, that interpretation of a certain amendment should feature consideration of laws enacted early in the country’s history, and before its founding. They further write that for the specific question before them, the total absence of similar laws in that history means they must rule a certain law unconstitutional.

Further suppose they were simply factually incorrect to the point that such laws were in fact common and are very easy to find, if you look like at all.

Now what? If you apply their guidance on how to analyze these questions, you’d have to reverse their ruling on laws similar to the one they struck down, should they come before you. But they ruled that specific one unconstitutional… but their ruling was contrary to the guidance they gave.

So we end up tied in a bit of a knot. Had these facts been argued rather than pulled out of some damn amicus brief without examination, perhaps the government would have presented a large pile of examples to rebut the simply-false claim that no similar laws existed in the country’s early history. But the court injected these “facts” as a key part of their reasoning when writing their decision, instead. Would it have changed the outcome? No. Would it, perhaps, have made it too embarrassing even for these clowns, to include that particular bit in their ruling? Maybe! And future lower court cases might take a different course, as a result.

[EDIT] The take-away for the casual reader of Supreme Court opinions, then, is that if they write something like "no examples of such laws exist until [YEAR]" don't be surprised if that turns out to be hilariously wrong. A "fact" making it into a Supreme Court opinion is not a strong indication the fact is... an actual fact. Their opinions are far less well-researched than one might suppose, emphasis on far, it's not that they're just imperfect like any people, their fact checking is outright poor by any standards.
That's indeed the opinion of the author.
Note however that at this time all elements used in the setup described on dockerswarm.rocks are maintained. I started using swarm in 2022 and I documented my decision [1], and my reasoning for my kind of needs as not changed. The investment is very low, as well as the risk. Migrating away from swarm should not be very problematic for me, and in the meantime I enjoy an easy to maintain setup. I still think it's better than tweaking a maybe working solution with compose.

I'm not expecting to convince anyone but wanted to share an alternative approach(only applicable to certain setup)

Are you using Vim and VSCode in plain text for everything? Or do you still like the language server, syntax highlighting and the like?
Thinking VS Code is their only option though? (To support two wildly popular languages too.)
Hehe. You are right. There are many leftist media outlets.

But my point was not to be partisan; just to note that there will be lots of news to cover. Trump is a controversial figure. Every news outlet will profit. Now is not the time to downsize.
Yes, really looks like someone conducting a study, or someone who wants to call out projects for their sloppy PR reviews.
I specifically said precision and not clarity, which is not the same. The thing is, though, that legal language is not "designed" for anything, in fact it is not "designed" at all.

As for being constructed deliberately to obfuscate its purpose, all I can say is that that's not my experience and it seems like a pretty self-defeating aim to me. For legal language to have any value at all, you have to be reasonably certain that a court would give effect to your intended meaning, and the more you obfuscate your intentions, the bigger the risk that it will be construed in an unintended way by a court.

> Plain clear language with defined terms is legally binding and difficult to circumvent.

As soon as you introduce defined terms, it is instantly less plain and less clear.

The internet has absolutely succeeded in expanding access to information. The problem is that disinformation is still information and it's spread just as easily, except it's more "exciting".
They would have to be rather specific and specialized reasons, and they did not specify anything of the kind, just “Go and Python”.
It absolutely does and has to be stripped out in processing. It typically gets compressed and reinjected over and over again
I think it's stretching the truth a little to say that Apple "had a very nice system for UI development on Dylan." The Dylan Eulogy site itself claims they hadn't even finished their Interface Builder [1] by the time it was canceled, which NeXT already had at the time.

As a side note, Apple Dylan seems incredibly limiting and opinionated for no reason. I find it interesting the website lamenting its death only shows screenshots [2][3][4] of the "advanced" editor, rather than any successful applications made using Dylan.

Also, how can I incrementally migrate Dylan into existing codebases, which were most likely C, at the time? Does it have an FFI? Also, most software engineers mental models at the time were imperative, and they expected them to learn the intricacies of functional programming and object-oriented at the same time?

That's not even to mention the logistics about running it:

> Keeping your source code in a fully version-tracked, object-oriented database with full metadata is an idea whose time has long since arrived, yet most of us still spend our time editing text files. Apple Dylan could export and import code from text files, but once you’ve used an IDE that takes advantage of fine-grained object storage of your source, you’ll never want to go back. [5]

Does this mean I'd need to shape my entire source control system around Apple Dylan? How would diffs and collaboration work? To use my source control system would I have to "export" it to plaintext every time? Text-based AppKit and Obj-C fit right into existing source control systems of the day.

Also Obj-C and AppKit was already dogfooded heavily within NeXT. The system UI was built using it, as well as all the apps that shipped with the system. You can't say that about Dylan and MacOS 9.

How were they selling a dollar for 80 cents? The actual food is more expensive on grubhub than ordering through the restaurant, and then there are multiple fees on top of that.
What Is a Study Diagram?
In a common law system, the benefit of the arcane language is that it's been tested in court before, so it has a definite meaning. In that sense, it's actually "clear", even if it's pretty obscure to the layman. By contrast, novel wording has not been tested in previous cases, so no matter how clearly it might be written, there's a degree of uncertainty. A term doesn't have a definite legal meaning until a judge has made a ruling on it. That's why contracts and wills, particularly, often use weird phrasing.
There's an element of "I'm not going to do your homework for you" I find sometimes.

I've also never asked it to spit out more than an HTML boilerplate or two, but it is useful for asking best options when given a choice between two programming patterns.
This part feels like The Onion. 30 private taxis coordinating for your meal. "customers can order from upwards of 30 restaurants in a single order, with each item being made-to-order in a sequenced fashion so that they finish simultaneously and can be delivered to the customer together."
> I would prefer extending poll to support things other than file descriptors, instead of converting everything a file descriptor to be able to use poll.

Why? The ability to block on these descriptors as a one off rather than wrapping into a poll makes them extremely useful and avoids the race issues that exist with signal handlers and other non-blocking mechanisms.

signalfd, timerfd, eventfd, userfaultfd, pidfd are all great applications of this strategy.

It's in the original post:

>The official reason given was that Jetbrains has Russian ties. No amount of arguing could get leadership to reverse the decision.
The perspective here in Russia is diametrically opposite. The common opinion is that JetBrains has completely severed its ties with Russia and appears to have pro-Western, probably European management: they don't sell in Russia anymore, and recently they have started silently deleting licenses of users who appear to have Russian IPs as detected by their license server. Local companies have to use proxies.
You can use a screenshot to get around it. It's a case of the "analogue hole".

I only read the big cases since law school, so take this with a grain of salt -- I've only read one or two KBJ decisions and a handful from Kavanaugh and ACB.

In terms of legal clarity alone, Gorsuch and then Kagan are ahead of the pack by some margin, followed at some distance by Roberts and ACB. Sotomayor is great as a writer, but not in terms of legal clarity. I think Thomas is middle-of-the-pack, and I think he gets underrated in this regard because people dislike his opinions. Again, experience of Kavanaugh and KBJ's writing is limited, but they're at least not far behind the pack here.

Alito stands alone as the only one I'd say is bad for a Supreme Court justice. And that's relative, so it doesn't mean he's awful, but I do actively avoid his writing.

The variance gets way higher the further from SCOTUS you go. At the state level it's basically roulette.

Grubhub has fallen so far it's amazing. They (and Seamless who is the same thing in different regions) had such a big start but had their model disrupted. And while they were being disrupted they were trying to turn a profit as a public company and DoorDash just ate their market as they were in growth mode. Interesting sequence of events that led to them being acquired by Wonder.
