The root cause here is poorly named settings.

If the original setting had been named something bool-y like `help.autocorrect_enabled`, then the request to accept an int (deciseconds) would've made no sense. Another setting `help.autocorrect_accept_after_dsec` would've been required. And `dsec` is so oddball that anyone who uses it would've had to look up.

I insist on this all the time in code reviews. Variables must have units in their names if there's any ambiguity. For example, `int timeout` becomes `int timeout_msec`.

This is 100x more important when naming settings, because they're part of your public interface and you can't ever change them.

> A problematic function indentation
> Nineteen! Nineteen spaces of indentation! It's getting unruly. Such an indent, when used in deeply nested code, makes it too wide and unreadable. If you add the strict one-per-line alignment of arguments, it's also painfully long line-wise.

I think this is more a problem with languages that encourage (or don't discourage) deeply nested function calls. I face the same issue in Python, although Python kinda discourages me to do:

foo(
bar(
baz(
far(
faz(...)))))

Instead, Python and Pythonic idioms encourage a "step by step" approach:

a = faz(...)
b = far(a)
...

I don't know which is "better"—the first approach requires thinking ahead about the chain of functions we're about to call while the second one is more like a gradual development of the solution, albeit being more verbose than the former.
Sounds absolutely horrendous future.
How is this a good idea? At the very least, it gives critics something to point to as evidence of bribery. This kind of thing can certainly make citizens and taxpayers think twice about how fair and objective the Trump admin might be.
They are if you use their service. You agree to their terms when you want the services they provide. Of course, you can violate the terms of service, but that puts you in the wrong legally and potentially morally, depending on your specific moral values.

You aren't entitled to their service, but they are entitled to your data (as allowed under the relevant jurisdiction) if you choose, of your own volition, to use their service.

The US need not restrict any of your speech. You’re not directly communicating with any of TikTok’s users when you post to it, TikTok is. In the Internet age, even apparent one-way communication is handshakes upon handshakes. Consider this: You’re free to send whatever messages you want to ByteDance. They’re just not allowed to reply (or have anyone reply on their behalf). The app is a useless binary blob if it can’t set up a TLS connection.
He's also telling them to buy a shitcoin. It's all very well believing he magically saved TikTok, but I think there's a lot that will be real hard to swallow. The cycles between FA and FO are getting really, really quick…
So...have you first hand read and deployed the code?

TikTok could be using blind algorithms as you hint at, but they could also bump content they wanted to.

I am convinced that if China put their best minds to it they could use TikTok to sway any election the way they wanted.

The data available to them about what reels swayed what people in what direction is immense.
Your proposal is to decrease the dynamic range of the display. This will certainly achieve the goal of making switching between light and dark backgrounds more comfortable, but makes it worse for viewing photographs or videos. It's also not ideal when doing any amount of design, as most viewers won't have their screens set up the same way.
This reminds me of a party game I played once called Mafia, which is a bit like Among Us but played verbally. I was a bit drunk, and the designated villain was very socially adroit, which I most certainly am not. The villain easily convinced the other players I was the villain, on the basis, I think, simply of his charisma and perceived trustworthiness.

I was struck by how readily the other players followed what seemed like blatantly manipulative suggestions in a game where you know the goal is deception.

> You'll never see anything from the people who post occasionally because they get drowned out by the people who are posting all the time.

I use inoreader and track basically everything I want in a huge list of feeds.

It's pretty trivial to mark stuff as "always flag this", and then leave the rest of the pile as "scan through and manually tag anything else"

Anything low volume goes on the "always" flag list as it takes one review a day of the new content to decide if it's something I care about.

Ultimately what I want, and what most people want, is the ability to just hook up to various data streams and apply rules to it. From there filtering as desired comes pretty easily.
They shut down and reopened without any changes to the law. They are open now, despite the law being in effect.

The law required them to choose from among several options, one of which was suspending the service. The law did not permit maintaining the status quo as an option.
Every Mastodon account automatically has an RSS feed ... just append ".rss" to the account name:

That would be my question also. You can't explain the shutdown as following the law if the law didn't change between the time of the shutdown and coming back on. It seems to me like the more accurate assessment here is an anticipation of policy changes, which however fruitful do not reflect any change in law, but perhaps some change in the degree of reassurance that the law won't be enforced.

If it's not that, it may well be as the original commenter in this thread suggested a stunt to make a point.
Trump going soft on China was predictable.
> With an algorithmic feed of some kind you choose to read x items a day, your system shows you the best x items a day out of y based on some set of criteria and constraints.

And the whole point of the people who want RSS is that they disagree with the idea that "the algorithm" shows the best x items.

The whole point is that they don't want "the algorithm". And your answer is "Have you heard of the algorithm? I think it's a solution to your problem".
No, please do force dark mode. This will make the dark mode people think they have won. They will act accordingly. And then the pendulum will swing back, as the pendulum always does.

But the difference this time is that because the dark mode people are wrong, and always have been, and always will be, when the pendulum swings back, it will swing hard, for it will swing with the momentum of righteousness and truth, and the repercussions will ring through history.

Ask yourself: where will you be standing, when this happens?
And? The history of media companies operating in the US to have US citizens owners is likely much longer than you've been alive, just ask Murdoch about is US citizenship.

Doesn't the law explicitly require TikTok to have a convincing deal in place, and to be able to show proof of that to Congress, before such an extension can be granted?

And unlike some of the similar retrocomputing OS's (which are also lovely but grounded in old fashioned design), genode feels like a glimpse into the good future.

> That will give you RF noise, which isn't really random.

what does "really" random even mean in this context? does it actually matter?

given 3 hypothetical devices in a homelab:

a) does no specialized hardware entropy collection, and instead relies entirely on the standard Linux kernel mechanisms

b) does entropy collection based on the RF noise that you're saying isn't "really" random

c) does entropy collection based on whatever mechanism you have in mind that generates "real" randomness (hand-carving bits of entropy out of quantum foam, or whatever)

even if your threat model includes "the NSA tries to break into my homelab"...device A will almost certainly be fine, they'll have ways of getting access that are much simpler than compromising the entropy pool.

I suppose device B has a theoretical vulnerability that if the NSA had physical access to your homelab, they could monitor the RF environment, and then use that to predict what its inputs to the entropy pool were. but...that's assuming they have physical access, and can plant arbitrary equipment of their own design. at that point, they don't need to care about your entropy pool, you're already compromised.
Since 170M Americans look at TT, I wonder of how much of it was TT propaganda itself.

The amount of propaganda on TT is rather huge, though I won't say any different than US media, just more of it these days oriented to how 'good' China is.
For the most part I don't think there is a difference. It seems like once all the common factors of divisiveness and brainrot are removed, the main difference between TikTok and the others is that it would be harder for certain powers in the US government to corral TikTok into toeing the line on State Department foreign policy goals than western companies. Considering the largely homogenous, biased western media coverage of e.g. the lead up to the 2nd Iraq War, Patriot Act, US-Israel policy that has shaped American viewpoints, I don't think it is obvious why having a major non-aligned media source is a net negative.
The constitution applies to American users and to non-Americans on American soil. It's not like the cops can execute you for being here on a tourist visa.

> as the law explicitly allows the President to do.

I think this is debated, which is why Apple and Google may not bring back TikTok to the stores... at least that's what I read.
Thanks for engaging. Your comments point to a different mental model for thinking about government procurement of software. Not sure whether I'm convinced, but it's certainly food for thought.
All of this is really simple. Reasonable people know the CCP having full control of public opinion by having ultimate control of the algorithm that literally sets public opinion of everyone under 30… is problematic. When you consider that in a year or so they’re going to invade Taiwan and no doubt simultaneously get all of Gen Z and Alpha on their side with propaganda, this is horrible for anyone who doesn’t love dictatorships.

BUT, Trump wants Gen Z to like him and that’s all there is to it. So he’s just going to come in on a white horse and “Save TikTok” — handing President Xi a gift on a silver platter. Because he doesn’t actually give a fuck about anything besides being popular.
Couldn't the web version still pretty essily be enforceable via ISPs, etc.

> ...case being just another function, and the pipe operator always chaining by the first argument.

Interesting! I thought Elixir was mostly macros all the way down, like this article shows:

https://evuez.net/posts/cursed-elixir.html

Being able to pipe into def, defp, defmodule, if, etc. is fantastic! But apparently you say at least in the case of case, it's not a macro, and it's just a function which returns a monad—I guess it's the same effect afterall? Is that why people say Haskell can get away with lack of Lisp-style macros because of its type system and laziness?
They reopened with formal understanding that there will be an executive order tomorrow to suspend the enforcement of the ban. That is a big deal and it's something that they can point to to defend themselves in court should that happen. When President Biden signed the bill, it gave him the ability to extend the deadline by an amount which he declined to do (beyond saying "I'll let Trump admin deal with it"); and soon-to-be President Trump is saying he will do it tomorrow.
I just don’t think the US is a serious country anymore. Any country that elects a man like Donald Trump for a few percent off their veggies (OK probably not veggies in America) and cheaper eggs is not a serious place. Shame, I really used to believe all that shit about a city on a hill!
It’s actually illegal for people who aren’t currently the president to negotiate as if they were.

I do that, but I can't help thinking that it smells like Hungarian notation.

The best alternative I've found is to accept units in the values, "5 seconds" or "5s". Then just "1" is an incorrect value.
I shall quote "Ni" again to you unless you appease me.
The contrast ratio of an old CRT (and amber and green were considered more comfortable than white-on-black) is radically different from a modern LCD/IPS/OLED screen. It's so different that there's no comparison. Dark mode might be ok for more people if there is some brightness to the background instead of being completely black, but then you lose most of the benefits of OLED.
Of course the democrats can win again and they will but that DJT won at all let alone a second time speaks volumes about the American people and their fall. Really sad.

6 frames is not enough to realize you made a typo / read whatever git is outputting telling you that you made a typo, and then respond to that input correctly.

in video games it may seem like a lot of time for a reaction, but a lot of that “reaction time” is based off previous context of the game, visuals and muscle memory and whatnot. If playing street fighter and say youre trying to parry an attack that has a 6 frame startup, you’re already anticipating an attack to “react” to before their attack even starts. When typing git commands, you will never be on that type of alert to anticipate your typos.
It’s federal law, and the president can offer a pardon allowing anyone to ignore federal law for as long as they remain in office.

The courts on the other hand can permanently block laws.
That kind of situation (with Wrigley Field being a great example) was ruined when people started trying to profit by charging people to sit on the roof. That's when teams started putting up barricades to block their view.

I do not think that the constitution necessarily applies to corporations. Corporations, for example, do not have a vote.

Based on similar programs I've seen elsewhere, my guess is they will make you pay off your tuition by contracting with them for a period of time, they can place you anywhere they please, and they'll pocket a big chunk of your pay as a fee for the training.

Oh, and if you don't want to sign their onerous indenturement contract, you're on the hook for the entire cost of the training.
They actually are saying that nobody should have dark mode sites, except watered down ones.

What are these "dark-mode" (misnomer) sites that don't have a comfortable contrast ratio? I know there are some, but I think they're including a broad swath of primarily light-on-dark sites in this group.

Adjust the brightness on your screen.

You joke, but with the power these companies have over peoples minds (enough people to sway elections) it is a reality we may be going towards; each power constellation a different social media universe.

TikTok has the power to sway any election how they want. The data available to them about what reels sways what people in what direction is immense. The only question is if they are doing it.

In 20 years I expect either democracy to vanish, or algorithmic social media to be widely banned, or control over algorithmic social media to be viewed more like control over nuclear weapons...
I have the exact same issue too and wish I had a name for it. I had been assuming it was related to astigmatism since I also have issues with low-light environments especially with reflections (e.g. hate watching TV in a dark room, don't like driving at night especially in rain) but it seems like others who have this issue aren't mentioning it so now I'm doubting that.

>Archaeologists have discovered a sumptuous private bathhouse - potentially the largest ever found there - complete with hot, warm and cold rooms, exquisite artwork, and a huge plunge pool.

Essentially this Roman luxury mansion has an indoor replica of a typical communal Roman bath place.

Communal Roman bath normally has three section hot, warm and cold, and the latter so called frigidarium normally come with a pool [1].

The ancient Egyption, is as ancient to Roman, as to our modern world to Roman, and the rich ancient Egyptions typically have pool inside their luxury mansions.

Fun facts early ancient Egyptions didn't call their kings Pharaoh only the later ancient Egyption kings are called Pharaoh literally meaning "Great House" that almost certainly has pool inside their mansion or palace since swimming is one of their favorite free time or sport activities [2].

As for the modern world, when my friends and relatives who're recently retiring with excess money to spend, the first thing they did are installing permanent private pools inside their new renovated retirement houses.

It seems in house pools are human innate luxury craving items that common across time and culture.

No account manager can help when the support is so bad it would have been better if they admitted they had no idea and superb if they admitted the feature we were sold didn't exist and had no plans of existing.

Would save me months of lead time.

Personal experience goes that Google Cloud support treated us quite well even when called by small 3 person team doing minuscule spend, in another company Microsoft treated us very well but our spend could be probably tracked by nationwide powergrid monitoring of their datacenters.

And AWS lied about features and ultimately never responded back.

I figure the account managers talking to high level management about contracting mandatory multi-million spend on AWS know how to talk with said management.

But at the end, what comes to actually developing and delivering products for others, we were left in the dust.

To make it funnier, part of what made it so hard was that the feature they lied to us was supposed to be critical for making sure the UX for end-users was really stellar.
