So I have done the leg work to see what happens and it turns out that if you give space to extremist views they overtake other conversations and dominate the community.

What people don’t seem to grasp is that all speech is not equal, and that our brains react very predictably to certain arguments and content.

For example, your argument is not supported by the paper, which I have read. Because the paper shows behavior of the bad actors changed across the site, and became less hateful.

However the argument is complex, and goes against commonly held beliefs, such as sunlight is the best disinfectant etc.

More exposure results in more reinforcement of popular ideas, until something happens externally.
> As such, any attempt to incorporate that information[0] into my decision making process goes nowhere: I can't categorize a food as to it's degree of ultra processed-ness nor can I assess whether another foods/foods/etc might cause harm like UPF's are purported to do. Ergo: no basis for a behavioral modification, no new pros or cons to weigh.

So I guess my question is what are your defaults? What is your unmodified behavior?

There is a package on the shelf, you only know what it says on the box, what you've seen on commercials, and maybe you've seen/heard of other people eating its contents. What's the decision tree for this scenario?

Yep, users try to consolidate their gaming library in a particular platform. If you have 100 games on steam, why you would get the newest fifa-718 on xbox instead of steam, where you have all your games?

They plan game pass to get users to the xbox ecosystem, but i'm not sure if it will be enough.

It should be noted that operations like addition on floating point numbers are not associative (even though addition on real numbers is). Round off error changes depending on the order of operations. The error in divide-and-conquer summation (which you might see in parallelized addition) is worst case much better than sequential addition, although not as good as more elaborate algorithms like Kahan summation.

Texas is overflowing with "reasonably priced fossil fuels".

Yet even in oil soaked Texas, renewables account for most new capacity being added to their electrical grid. Why? It's cheaper. Simple economics.

This is the current reality that you might want to check in on.

I strongly disagree with this, and it reminds me of one of the worse Agile memes: "With every commit, the product must be production-ready.". [0]

The rewrite has to be generally not behind schedule. Whatever that schedule is is up to the folks doing the work and the managers who approve doing the work.

What does React bring then? It is slow, overengineered and bloated. It is also the only thing many developers know. Just like PHP 20 years ago.

Just yesterday the news was Nvidia's personal AI supercomputer (on Linux). Today the news is about gaming and SteamOS. The "cloud" is already for decades overwhelmingly Linux. There are remarkable devices (pun) [1] based on Linux. Whether for fun or serious work, if we connect the dots the future is Linux, or at least Linux-like.

Yes, it is a painfully slow journey. People acting as individuals or in organizations have enormous inertia (which is not totally a bad thing- upgrading a Linux desktop is still a dance at the precipice). But the real cause is mostly the extreme centralization and suppression of competition in the broader tech space. This has not helped the adoption of mass-market oriented devices based on Linux. But slowly the wheels of computing history are turning...

I hate the taste of coffee but I apparently fell for vanilla lattes

Different sizes (at Starbucks) taste differently / ratios fluctuate. The medium iced vanilla tastes best to me. You can customize the number of shots too, and increase as you adjust to the taste.

The caramel macchiato tastes even less like coffee.
Come to think of it, magic links by definition violate the principle that GET requests should not change state. Defender & preview tools are actually following the established norms here - norms that were established decades ago precisely because we hit the more broad problem with C, U & D parts of CRUD, and collectively agreed that doing destructive operations on GET requests is stupid.

As a Mac user, I've only been able to watch the Proton improvements from the sidelines. I'm happy to see them but can't make use of them.

On the other hand, GeForce Now is what let me get rid of Windows and my gaming desktop altogether. For the supported games, it's a truly superb experience, launching into max graphics with a single click. I don't have to install or upgrade anything (patches or drivers) or worry about hardware obsolescence. It's insanely powerful (RTX 4080 equivalent), has no local heat or noise, and barely sips battery life (compute is all in the cloud).

Completely changed the way I game. And this is as someone who grew up on BBS door games and configuring sound blaster and vmem in config.sys. GFN is so so nice and much better than dealing the nightmare that is modern Windows. And a lot easier than managing Proton and WINE too. Nothing beats it for sheer ease of use when I just want to game for a few hours without headaches.
This tracks with my own bias as an ER doc. I do feel that the risk of c-spine injuries from mountain biking is understated.

> I get the impression that a load of people are preparing to jump ship once Win10's sundowned and they're faced with having to get rid of a perfectly usable computer to install Win11.

In my opinion, what will most likely happen is the same thing that happened when Windows XP was retired: nothing at all, people just kept running the same Windows XP they had already installed. That is, people will just keep Windows 10, not caring that Microsoft does not care about it anymore. And, for them, it will work even better, since without constant updates, Windows 10 will become more stable (as in: not changing all the time, not having random automated reboots due to updates, etc).

(We might be concerned that, without software updates, the security bogeyman will catch and eat us, but most normal people don't worry about that.)

Since the first time Trump mentioned buying Greenland though, public opinion in Greenland has largely changed in favour of joining the EU instead (while they previously chose not to be part of the EU). It's at 60% in favour now.

So I don't really see this happening.

What I'd recommend is if you're worried about this (or worried about it in certain instances), disable biometrics to unlock the device itself. Then, passkeys on it don't really matter anymore.
I doubt that. Looking at a random list of most popular PC games, a lot of the top ones aren't on Steam (Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, Valorant, Genshin Impact, Rocket League).
Numbers have to be looked at on a per capita basis. There's also severity and frequency. The 'safest' sport I have done on an injury frequency basis is probably surfing. But when an accident does happen (outside of extreme spots), someone drowns or is bitten by a shark. Not very much middle ground.

BJJ while it looks dangerous is actually pretty safe. I have lots of small injuries but never very bad. Sprained fingers or errant black eye b/c you are in such close contact with people.

I think the most dangerous sport I've done is wakeboarding. So much so we kept ibuprofen in the boat. I finally 'retired' after tearing an ACL.

Then there's everything else in between like basketball and football.
Yeah, parent comment is scary - glad you called it out. Although I don't have an economics degree, I do a lot of bond future trading on the side and am in fairly good tune with the bond market/how their yields work. The effect on the bond yields alone if the US defaulted would be disastrous.

Very delightful article. Based on my experience in "hobby" OS programming, I would add setting up GDB debugging as early as possible. It was a great help in my projects and an improvement over debugging with the QEMU monitor only.

QEMU contains a built-in GDB server, you'll need a GDB client built for the target architecture (riscv in this case) and connecting to the QEMU GDB server over the network.

I'm German, and have installed a small (1.8kWp, 800W inverter) system myself. It's really pretty cool. It was really cheap (our system cost 750€ including installation material for the roof) and saves a lot of money (130€ since September). Ours will have recovered the upfront investment cost within the next 2 years. Our meter is currently turning backwards when we feed in, but will be replaced by a meter that doesn't (then, energy we feed back into the grid will be given away to the grid operator for free).
yeah but it means MFG still has the same fundamental problem of FG that the latency hit is the largest in the only scenario where it's meaningfully useful. That is, at low 15-45fps native FPS, then the additional impact of an additional frame of buffering combined with the low initial FPS means the latency hit is relatively huge.

So Nvidia's example of taking cyberpunk from 28fps to 200+ or whatever doesn't actually work. It'll still feel like 20fps sluggish watery responses even though it'll look smooth
Yes, this is exactly my configuration! 3.5kw panels, 9kwh battery. Saves at least 1/2 of the daily power usage.

The best way I found to understand a bit more about how synths work, was to give VCVRack a try. Basically "build your own synth" in a box, AKA " Modular synthesizer", which lets you build what a mainstream synth comes with, from scratch.
On that note, I discovered Dafny[1] recently, as a more accessible way to program with proofs. There's a companion book[2] that seems very accessible and down-to-earth (and, unfortunately, quite expensive). I didn't have the time to play with it yet, but it looks like it does what Ada/SPARK does (and more), but with less verbose syntax and more options for compilation targets. It seems to be actively developed, too. Personally, I had a very hard time getting into Coq, which is a proof assistant more than a programming environment - Dafny seems much more welcoming for a "working programmer" :)

It would have been funny to suggest rewriting Zig in Rust. :)
Perhaps. But I don't think that's the public consensus. So it's hard to accept such arguments without any evidence.

AFAIK in Europe most food safety regulation is coming from the EU directly and not the national governments. Also it's not like all countries in Europe have public tax funded healthcare systems.

Fundamentally some are inherently not that different from the one in the US (i.e. semi-private or even entirely privatized) it's just that they much better regulated and much more efficient.

Even if we exclude private spending the US government already spends more per capita on healthcare than most other countries so why would anything change if e.g. Medicare was extended to a higher proportion of the population?

I agree, but to be precise, it was 1,726 out of 476,617 DKIM keys found across those 1M domains, or about 0.36%. Since it's impossible to determine all DKIM records a domain might have from the outside, I used a list of commonly used selectors (e.g., "default' or 'key1") for the search. It's likely there are additional short keys under selectors I didn't check.
This article brilliantly demonstrates the elegance of simplicity in systems design, proving that even complex concepts like operating systems can be demystified with clarity and minimalism. It's a reminder that understanding fundamentals often unlocks deeper innovation. How might this inspire rethinking other "big" systems?
> I don't see the value of running desktop Linux software on these devices anymore...

Running desktop software, not really, but I see 3 main points of interest for an alternative to Android (which could be mobile Linux):

- Getting rid of the proprietary bits, in particular userspace drivers (which could be achievable with some degoogled Android running a mainline Linux kernel too)

- Getting rid of Google's control over the platform's main distribution channel for apps, and on the overall design of the platform. Let's remind that Google makes money with ads and the design of Android is likely guided by this. Let's also remind that Google is letting key AOSP apps die (AOSP keyboard, the phone app, the SMS/MMS app, the calendar app).

- Getting rid of having to build apps using the Android SDK, which is huge, bloated, and requires you to accept Google terms and conditions
I do a lot of road cycling, but this is essentially why I refuse to participate in mountain biking (in my area). I've heard so many horror stories from friends of mine who ride and it sounds like accidents are only a matter of time. Even if someone rides as safe as they can, you can't account for others on the trails or the conditions 100% of the time.
Even with passkeys or TOTP 2FA, we've decided email is the root, for better or for worse (for people with gmail, it's likely better than SMS would be on a crappy carrier, but it depends on so many factors, including how many hundred apps have Gmail read access via OAuth...)

The author gets close but doesn't connect the final dots. Appeals to dogma and authority are a rhetorical force multiplier, kind of like a DDOS reflection attack where a little bit of data creates a much bigger problem.

People invoke safety for the same reason a thousand years ago people invoked god. It's a religion, it's dogmatically considered good by default and it takes massive effort to argue against it.

Some manipulating jerk can invoke the name of either with a few simple words and anyone who wishes to call them on their moral bankruptcy needs to spend orders of magnitude more words doing so if they are to produce a rebuttal that cannot be trivially dismissed, bogged down or diverted.

And unless we as a society are prepared to punish people for employing these rhetorical tricks it will keep happening.

And FWIW I'm addressing the author's point in general, not in this specific case of a statement made by a company. I'm aware that when companies say safety they usually mean "their safety from the mob or the state or the ambulance chasing lawyers"

Where's the article? Has a link been edited out of what otherwise appears to just be an inane rant on Reddit?
It's not actually insane if the application hosting the link follows the principle that GET requests should not mutate state.

This problem is ~20 years old from when CMS platforms had GET links in the UI to delete records and "browsing accelerator" browser extensions came along that pre-fetched links on pages, and therefore deleted resources in the background.

At the time the easiest workaround was to use Javascript to handle the link click and dynamically build a form to make a POST request instead (and update your endpoint to only act on POST requests), before the fetch API came along.
Do you really believe it's better now? Have you opened any of the links in my previous comment?
