This shit winds me up no end.

It feels almost like propaganda in itself, to evoke CCCP connotations.

It would be like if I just decided to start unilaterally referring to a "Language to Markup Hyper-Text" (LMHT) instead of its correct name.

tbf though, even the BBC can't get it right : https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg68vyz9lgo
It was intentionally designed to have 15 second clips competing for attention, which is the path to brain rot. The’ve slowly increased video length, which will impact what’s on the platform over time.

Also, Ticktock content is curated to fit CCP’s narrative not simply an algorithmic reflection of what its users care about.
Really back in the day you could have a windowed Windows desktop on 1MB of RAM. Going further, an Amiga could run a preemptive multitasking windowed environment in 256KB. I know the feature set is different, but OS requirements have become absurd - even for Linux.
When I was a kid, general understanding of computers was so basic that "my computer was struck by lightning and now it is sentient" seemed like a reasonable plot device.

In more practical terms, this extended to things like not understanding why an Acorn-formatted floppy disk, or Doom for Windows, couldn't be read by a Mac.

Naturally, another memory of those days was my dad complaining that "these days" people couldn't understand the electrical circuits because everything was getting replaced with ICs where the only thing you could do if it failed was throw the entire chip away and replace it.
True - its a trade off like everything in life - do I want to learn yet another language syntax, or master one like jq.

Personally I feel like mastering jq has more value across a lot more things.
The article ignores the fact that e.g. Bohr and later also Oppenheimer had been discussing the ethical side of the atomic bomb a long time, and argued for full openness and multilateral inspection to contain its consequences. An important part of motiviation was that someone would build an atomic bomb anyway, in which case it was best to have it first. The aftertaste was bitter, but it was not of technical sweetness, but rather of being in the unique position to develop it.
This runs into two separate but maybe related problems.

One is called the preferred basis problem: while you're right that the world could be described by

|us seeing spin up in a detector> ⊗ |spin up> + |us seeing spin down> ⊗ |spin down>

it can equally validly be described by

(|us seeing spin up in a detector> + |us seeing spin down>) ⊗ (|spin up> + |spin down>) + (|us seeing spin up in a detector> - |us seeing spin down>) ⊗ (|spin up> - |spin down>)

(again leaving off all of the coefficients - each of the states should have a 1/sqrt(2) coefficient to be a valid superpositon).

But even though in the math these are perfectly equivalent and valid solutions, we only ever observe solution 1 and never solution 2. We don't even have words to describe what decomposition 2 would mean.

The second problem is one of arriving from these values to actual probabilities. In this interpretation, all values of the wave function are phsycially realized, so all possible outcomes have probability 1. Now, in a simple binary with equal probabilities on both sides (if the electron is equally like to be spin up or spin down), this can sort of work. But if the Spin Up state has a higher amplitude than the spin down state (which is easy to do in experiments), then we have a problem. If the electron is both spin up and spin down every time we run this experiment, how come we observe the spin up version more often than the spin down version?

In more technical terms, how can we justify the exact shape of the Born rule without postulating any extra processes? In some variants of many worlds, they do add an extra postulate: that the amplitude of the wavefunction of a particular state corresponds to the number of "worlds" in which that state occurs. An observer can then deduce what are the odds that they live in one of the worlds where the outcome is spin up versus the worlds where it is spin down.

But more modern versions of MWI like to say that no separate "worlds" actually exist (since that brings about a whole host of other problems), but then justifying these probabilities, without even more complicated postulates, comes back.
Censorship is the suppression/prohibition of speech. Therefore, removing TikTok from app stores is not censorship, because it's the platform itself that's being targeted, not particular speech that's on it.

Either you knew that already and you're making a bad faith argument, or you don't understand the concept of censorship.
Nim (https://nim-lang.org also mentioned elsethread) was largely inspired by trying to make a more concise Ada with Python-like lexical sensibilities/ergonomics and support for first class meta-programming. Compilers for Nim are sadly not as mature as things like say the gnat Ada compiler.
Of course there is difference between institutionalized censorship and making social bubble by our preferences.

Did you ever saw on TikTok videos about Tiananmen Square, pro-democracy protest before covid or generally videos from handicapped people?
> "He was just a little villain. An old-fashioned craftsman, making crimes one-off. The really unforgivable acts are committed by calm men in beautiful green silk rooms, who deal death wholesale, by the shipload, without lust, or anger, or desire, or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present–they are real."

The collapse of the coalition happened because of disagreements about Germany's involvement in Ukraine, so this is another consequence of it I would not have expected.
Thank you for crystallizing something that's been swimming in my unconscious for a long time.
If you want to use that analogy, a big reason Chinese cars aren't in the US is because the Chinese government heavily subsidizes their car production, which would lead to unfair price competition with other carmakers.

If you want true reciprocity there, China would either need to stop subsidizing their carmakers, or the US would need to add heavy tariffs to their cars to level the playing field.

"Following a complaint from major media companies Rogers, Bell and TVA...There was little opposition from Internet providers"...

Because two of the complainants are also ISPs, and I'm pretty sure TVA's owners also have a major stake in Videotron. Not to mention Telus, who as a TSX company has a board that looks very similar to Bell's
Lots of MISRA could is proprietary and receives no upstream patches from customers. Still, it's not unusual to deliver a source blob to your customer instead of a binary blob, often for debugging. (But sometimes only the binary blob has the blessing of the vendor, so you can only use the binary blob in your released product)

I would not be in the least surprised if someone has a compiler/transpiler from a higher level language to some C code which checks all MISRA boxes.

A function doesn't need to be impure to communicate with a db. It can describe the actions without executing them, returning the actions to let some other impure process execute the effects.

Is cash the only thing that gives that benefit?

Or was cash just a convenient low-risk mechanism because the pocket money parents give to their kids is in small enough units that they can afford for their kids to waste it or straight up lose it?

If the latter, I suspect even games with internal currencies would provide the same learning opportunities. And I don't mean micro-transactions here, I mean like the SimCity (2000 in particular) or Civilization games where your actions within the game are what makes or consumes the currency.

What SGI had in its favor was the great hardware. This is, more or less, the selling point of "the fruity company" today, at least for those who don't know they can open a terminal.

For those who do, it's a competent Unix OS and certainly does the job. I never found IRIX great for servers either.

They may be equally long, but length when written is IMO not a good measure of complexity.

The 2nd I would need pen and paper for to keep my head straight doing the distributive law. The 1st I can do in my head as:

"If b is larger than a, the left side will be negative instead of positive, but also "b-a" gets a negative sign, and these cancel each other, so it is the same"

But I agree with you anyway ...this is indeed "doing algebra".

I agree that the figure would have been better if it said that in that figure it displays the case where a is larger than b. And we should probably call it visualization of an algebraic proof, instead of visual proof.

I use an air fryer a lot and I'm on my fifth one. The first four were high tech and didn't last long, mostly less than a year. I figured if I was going to keep buying them it was time to go cheap so they were less painful to replace, plus I don't use the fancy features. So I got one with hardly any features, just a knob for temperature and a kind of built in mechanical egg timer for time.

But it didn't work out as planned because this cheap model has outlasted all of the expensive ones put together. It's on year five of multiple daily uses. Same happened with sous vide circulators. Now I go for the cheap and simple gadgets first. No apps, no mic, no wifi or Bluetooth, and better for it.
I avoid anything with the "-py" suffix like the plague. It's pretty much a guarantee that anything I write today, will not run next year. I'd stick with maxima. With wxMaxima, it's actually quite nice.

You can imagine it. But they'd be wrong. Facebook and YouTube aren't directly controlled by an enemy government, and likely aren't intending as part of their raison d'être to sow discord and chaos in China.
Change has directionality it isn't change || !change. In this case change would be weighted toward enabling corporations, and bolstering security required for that. I consider that negative change.

I find myself researching and thinking a lot more about things before I actually program these days. It takes longer before I write, but my code is shorter and more to the point.

There isn't even a clear methodology explained (where/when/how where the accounts created, etc) on that NCRI "study".

Even the data is often self contradicting.

All we see is that there's much less political discourse on TikTok than ig.

If there's manipulation, the only thing that this study shows is that the manipulation goes towards avoiding politics in general.

Not only that, but the study itself may show the reverse to be true: that IG pushes some narratives more than others.
That has been my experience as well. I had a bunch of printers before the X1C, from 3 different countries, and all of them needed various amounts of tweaking and hacking to reach the print quality and ease-of-use I was expecting.

Even the Prusa MK3 (upgraded to MK3S, then MK3S+...) required a Raspberry Pi to be able to print without lugging an SD card from my PC to the printer, and a USB webcam to add print monitoring.

Now when people ask for FDM printer recommendations, I tell them that this hobby has two main paths: One path regards the printer as a tool to create things for other projects; the other path has the printer as the project itself.

An analogy I use is buying a car that's working and ready to drive vs buying a car that doesn't work and repairing it. Are you looking to drive or are you looking to fix/build a car?

Bambu printers are an easy recommendation for a printer which is a tool. The new Prusa CORE One might be a good fit as well, but it's still too early to tell what its quirks are. For printers that are projects, the Ender 3 comes to mind as a very cheap base for countless tinkering and upgrades.

I'm not too well-versed in hardware - is it really that easy to swap out a 2G modem with a 4G modem and have it "just work" without touching the drivers? Even if the baseband/modem chips miraculously do conform perfectly to some I/O protocol at the hardware level despite being multiple generations apart, wouldn't the difference in timings break whatever firmware the Nokia 5110 has, which was expecting only a single very specific hardware configuration? Or is the author planning to also hack the drivers?

What an odd statement. You’re ignoring the vast majority of all office computers all over the world here, the on-prem infrastructure of most companies, and cheap home computers. Not everyone can afford to buy a Mac; Office tools and huge swaths of domain-specific tools only run on Windows; and despite what Linux enthusiasts want you to believe, Linux doesn’t support existing Windows software well enough for common business use.

You may be referring to the needs of rich software engineers in western countries exclusively here, but overwhelming majority of the world’s client computers are firmly in Microsoft’s hands.
When I lived in Wales a German friend of mine shocked me by complimenting what was then Arriva Wales's railway services. The Cambrian Line was and presumably still is notoriously under-served with small, old trains that are ruinously expensive and constantly delayed/cancelled (common story in the UK). I always assumed German trains would be pretty good but apparently not.

Started selling pasture raised eggs last summer. First we had a flock of 150 but soon we ordered 150 more. We kept them in the Susckovich style chicken tractors[1] and sold directly to customers through Reko-rings (Facebook based farmers market). We gross around 3k€ per month with around 2000 euros profit per month. The chores take 1-2h per day and the deliverys around 3h per week. Our web page is at www.paivarinne.farm It's in Finnish but at least the pictures are nice :)

around the same time that the original 5110 was getting popular, I bought my first mobile phone, a used Motorola Amio.

I searched and found some images that look something like it:

It's such an odd problem from my perspective as someone who doesn't live in a western country! We still have 2G on all carriers and seemingly no plans to shut it down. So, if you want to use an old (GSM) phone, it's a non-issue, you just pop your modern SIM card into it and it just works :)
I've got a Pentium 166MMX with 80MB of RAM that runs DSL, but you can't do much with it.

In college I used Sun machines that had 8MB of RAM and you could run X. I mostly coded in C. When I think back on those times, I realise you would just run one little thing at a time and that would be great. Nowadays you have a browser open, maybe music playing, a big heavy editor, maybe a database client, VPN, etc.
