I just updated it this afternoon, for instance. I update it always.

The project I'm working in is fairly large Python app with a few hundred Python modules, HTML, JavaScript, etc. I wouldn't expect the size of the project to be linearly related to the performance of an editor while I'm working in 2-3 files at a time.

This is exactly why I didn't buy an Amazon product as an eink reader.

I want control over the things I own, I don't want them to exist locked up in a walled system where corporations can yank my ownership of something I paid for whenever they feel so inclined.

The people who were warning us about DRM back in the 90s exactly expected this future.
Have you looked at their balance sheet?
I have said this before, but I still don't understand there isn't a supported version of LibreOffice that I can pay for. I'm mostly happy with Google's online tools, but I want a Linux-compatible offline spreadsheet and word processor often enough that I wouldn't blink at $600/year and I would seriously consider a larger amount.

Am I that unusual?
>Lastly, I get that the proliferation of apps for tangible goods is frustrating,

I had the same experience with a mobile service provider that I use, recently.

since the last few days, the USSD code that used to work to find my prepaid recharge expiry date, so that I could recharge again in time, does not work. it doesn't even give a proper error message. it just suddenly exits, and tell me to install an app for that purpose.

mobile self service / IVR features are brain dead, and don't work a lot of the time anyway. I don't know what the reason is, except stupidity.
This is not a comment that correctly describes how these two entities realistically operate and interact. I don't know why people keep repeating this as though it were insightful.

Whatever your own position on this matter may be, it is important that we factually describe the positions of the parties directly involved.

Hopefully we can use this as an opportunity to spread a more accurate description of the dynamics at play.

For reference, here is a speech by William 賴清德 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lai_Ching-te) outlining the position under which he operates. The phrasing he uses is one that is consistent across all of his public remarks;
consistent with remarks by Louise 蕭美琴(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsiao_Bi-khim) and other close associates of William 賴清德; consistent with remarks made by 蔡英文 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsai_Ing-wen); and consistent with how the structures in Taiwan have operated over at least the last decade.

《賴清德就職演說：兩岸「互不隸屬」》: https://youtu.be/oLO5bYF8lDs?t=139

The relevant remark is: 「由此可見，中華民國與中華人民共和國『戶不隸屬』」

Here is my (manual) translation: “From this it can be seen that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are ‘not subordinate to each other.’”

Here is a Whisper-generated transcript of the entire speech, with an OpenAI generated translation inline. I skimmed the translation, and it adequately conveys the speaker's meaning and intention. (It does fail to convey the delicacy, careful phrasing, and specific rhetorical choices made by the speaker that are extremely clearly visible in the Chinese. However, this aspects are harder to convey if you don't have minimal prior knowledge on this topic.) https://pastebin.com/fGxHUpXN

It is true that there are historical positions, (historical) on-paper claims, and even a variety of differing positions and lively debate on this issue across all of the populations involved. But the conclusion one might draw from the comment above is wholly incorrect. It simply isn't the framing within which William 賴清德 and associated parties are actually navigating this issue.

If you’re doing a PhD in anything other than the highly paid field of “computer stuff”, the opportunity costs look much, much different.

When I did my PhD, I was making roughly the same money as all of my friends (none of whom were in tech) except I had waaay more freedom and job satisfaction.

If your other opportunities are things like a school teacher or generic “office job”, a PhD program doesn’t really have an opportunity cost penalty

It's a luxury consumption good.
I purchase ebooks from Amazon, and I remove DRM from them immediately. I'm not pirating, I'm buying, but this asshole is saying otherwise.

DRM is unacceptable. If I can't remove it I won't buy at all.
Not necessarily but that's the idea. Tumors will start shedding cells into the bloodstream as they start forming. These types of tests are able to identify tumor cells in a blood draw.
Anyone who did high school before calculators (late 70s) would have carried around a book of logarithmic tables so they could do the multiplication necessary for many problems.

Kagi Ultimate plan ($25/mo) includes Kagi Assistant with more than 15 different models (including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0, ChatGPT 4o + o3 mini, DeepSeek R1 etc). That plan suddenly becomes the cheapest, IMHO. I know that paid versions of LLM services offer more advanced models, but you at least get ahead of the rate limits this way.
Absolutely! You read my mind. Moreover, lk99 was AI-generated. Is this one, too?
That is an excellent explanation of how the protocol works. Thank you for bringing it to the discussion!
I agree for video + audio calls, but I’m not sure for gaming.

Usually multiplayer games have some correction and if you have really stable latency it can work pretty well (of course never as well as 0 latency). But usually, the jitter is the killer because it makes actions delayed AND unpredictable.
TW nuclearizing is PRC redline, and they're thoroughly infiltrated by PRC intelligence (half the reason US had to coerce them into ending initial effort was because PRC intelligence knew what was up). Today, any TW nuclear program is 7 minutes from being cratered, they're simply not nuclear turn key capable anymore unless US just positions nukes on TW and give authority in which case we're in WW3 anyway.

> the party line you are repeating is so tired and debunked.

I am not repeating a fucking party line! I am not a republican or a democrat. I am one of those pesky independents who refuse to cargo-cult and align with nonsense purely out of party alignment.

Fuck me! Why is this so partisan and so irrational?

If your family finances were the equivalent of federal drunken sailor spending we are seeing, you would not hesitate to call it insane. And yet, just three weeks into this and with such overwhelming evidence of insane spending this is somehow a "party line". Wow.

Tax cuts are incredibly important for economic stimulus and prosperity. And so is reducing government in size and spending.

Why hasn't it happened before? A combination of incompetence and inertia I guess. I don't know. During his first term Trump had the entire federal government against him and he had no experience navigating any of it. People fucked him right and left. And then he had a global pandemic. Please. Get off it.

I mean, look how the government is using the money we are sending. Really look at it. Look at what DOGE is uncovering. And we are just three weeks into this.

Why are we paying so much for so little?

Why are we paying for 1000 workers to go into a mine to process retirements by hand, on paper, stored on paper and in envelopes instead of, I don't know, having excellent affordable healthcare and drugs for everyone?

Why are we spending more money than anyone in the world for education and yet, we are ranked 40th?

And that's the tip of the iceberg.

If we don't fix this now, this nation is on a path straight to hell.

It's about math. This has nothing to do with any political party. Like I asked: How much longer? Where it the threshold?

You can believe anything you want my friend, sadly that does not change reality. More taxes, regulations, wasteful and incompetent government isn't a path to better things, quite to the contrary.

So, let's agree to disagree and see what happens in a few years if they let this team do what we desperately need to be done.

Next time you have a discussion with someone who might not fit into your world view, you might want to consider not diminishing them by throwing the tired "party line" or "Fox News" derogative and maybe, just maybe, consider the idea that other people are actually able to exercise critical thinking. And maybe, just maybe, you might want to consider the idea that other people might come from a perspective that is both multicultural and multinational, having lived under different cultures and political systems --which creates perspective and understanding others might lack.

I am also looking forward to seeing what RFK is going to do to our healthcare and health, both being an absolute abomination.

This is the moment. Be a part of the solution or the problem, your choice.
I replaced my home plug av2 adapter with g.hn ones a year or two ago, and it has been much better.

Lower latency, more stable, and higher bandwidth. (The av2 ones would just drop out for 90-ish seconds a few times a month, which was quite annoying).

It's interesting the article talks about home plug av2 and g.hn coexisting, when my experience has been that g.hn powerline is much better, and it feels like g.hn is generally perceived as a successor to av2 in the UK.

Edit: also, I'm in agreement with other folk in that point-to-point wireless is the solution I most often see used in that case, or sometimes fibre.

Edit2: and it's also probably the cheapest one to test. If it's not good enough, then you know you're looking at wireless or fibre.

Obviously that fails at actually being an abstract: it doesn't communicate what the novel research is, or anything about the methods.

Journals aren't for lay people. It's the pop science articles that should do better.

Also, honestly, this abstract was much more comprehensible than I expected.
> And you don't necessarily need "socialized" healthcare -- you need a system that gives both patients and doctors more agency.

You can get something sort of like that here in the US - direct primary care. I pay ~$125 per month to my doctor. This can be paid from an HSA/FSA as well. It is not as expensive as "concierge health care", but you get most of the perks and immediate access.

Appointments are usually available next day or even same day - as many times as I want. No co-pays. The doctor has far fewer patients so you can actually talk to them for an hour or two during your appointment. They can charge insurance (if you have it) for most lab-work or you can pay them reasonable rates out of pocket.

They can refer you to specialists if necessary (who may require insurance), or even consult with specialists with your permission, at no extra cost.

The on-going care/prevention aspect will probably help save money and keep me healthier in the long run as well.
It does, and I've always thought it was a bad way to address the problem for that reason. Using `functools.partial` is far clearer and more explicit as a way to bind parameters to a call: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/277922
True, but how competitive are those jobs to get? If one goes to a lesser-known university that has a PhD program and does related research are they getting an interview, or are these research jobs intended for specific university pipelines (Harvard, MIT, the usuals, etc.)?
Yeah, I've opened Activity Monitor and confirmed that it's Zed and/or the Python instance that Zed is spawning (via a 3.11 venv).

To be fair, Zed is running just fine on an M2 MacBook Air. I just wouldn't expect a code editor, with minimal features enabled, to bog down a 2019 MacBook Pro.
Alex Karp Wants Silicon Valley to Fight for America
Worse, JD Vance has said repeatedly that they WANT courts to rule against them, so that they can directly challenge the court's power. I believe his exact words were "Let the court enforce it." Which of course is a sick joke - courts have no enforcement power without the executive branch.

They fully intend to cause a constitutional crisis on purpose. It's all in plain sight, in their own words. America will get what it voted for.

No although your price end is steep - that's more then I pay for the Jetbrains suite, for example.

The reason such a thing should exist is to drive industry adoption: it's a lot easier to get things into the corporate and government world, ironically, if there's someone selling a subscription and support and looking like a normal software vendor for it.
Makes sense in general, but to make sure I understand it:

> Plus, if you don't trust the service to not issue special key pairs to track you, you probably won't trust us to not do the same publishing the key material.

You could publish it on some sort of blockchain to make sure it can’t be changed and is public for everyone, right?

> A malicious server could maintain separate key pairs for users it wanted to track, but you can't do it for every user because 1) it'd be clear from the WWW-Authenticate header changing, and 2) you'd have to validate tokens against every key, which would quickly get too slow to work.

Makes sense, thanks for explaining!
Add the ability to export your account config (yaml?) and use it with privacy pass. Maybe even sync it with git.

"Behold, a Linux maintainer openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project (...) Personally, I would consider this grounds for removal of Christoph from the Linux project on Code of Conduct violation grounds, but sadly I doubt much will happen other than draining a lot of people's energy and will to continue the project until Linus says "fuck you" or something. (...)"

"Thinking of literally starting a Linux maintainer hall of shame. Not for public consumption, but to help new kernel contributors know what to expect. Every experienced kernel submitter has this in their head, maybe it should be finally written down."

Anecdotally, a prestigious consulting firm (one of McKinsey/Bain/BCG) essentially stopped hiring MBAs and instead hired several friends from my PhD cohort despite the B-School ranking hire than most of our graduate programs.

I've always wondered what signal they were acting on. Perhaps the value of the MBA has been watered down, or it was just too easy to game the admissions.
Per-user search history can directly be sold to advertisers, no? I was under the impression Google and Microsoft do that, or at least use it internally to build a profile of each user, again used for advertising.
He didn't leave last time "in the normal manner," why would he do so this time? He's been hinting at a third term. I hope you're right and we have a normal election with a peaceful transfer of power in four years, but I'll believe it when I see it.
TBH, I only have HTML, TOML, and Dockerfile installed, and these (plus a few more) don't cause an issue on my M2 MacBook Air.
It's ironic, but the child post here says:

> same. I've bought it. I'm reading it on my kindle, phone, Linux laptop, etc and nobody's going to stop me.

Technically piracy (not that I particularly care). Technically in the USA removing DRM is also piracy, so I guess they're right? Again, don't actually care and would do the same, but I find your response ironic.

The law is pretty complicated though. I think if it's for yourself it's fair use, but 17 U.S. Code § 1201 says otherwise. I'm not a lawyer, sad.

World Affairs - I suppose you could concede portions of the Ukraine to Russia. Those aren't my politics. Maybe you believe in conquest by violence, though.

Afghanistan withdrawal was Trump's plan. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51692546. I credit Trump with ending this conflicting. It should have been ended a long time before that. But he signed a weak deal in February of 2020 that left a lot political pain for his successor.
RTO is just a cheaper way of reducing the workforce. The 'star' talent will sign contracts that say they can work from home 1-3 days a week and as soon as they make enough seats empty, WFH privileges for the rank and file will come back as well.
I see. So I will not have to worry about this if all of my Amazon purchased books are on my device.
First thing I thought is "this is a SELECT * in disguise", which is something that you SHOULD never do in BigQuery.
If you can combine it with CTEs, seems good because it adds legibility for complex queries.
Also looks easier for the planner. Not for the optimizer, though.
This. I can only open kindle books on the kindle app. Other apps allow for pen markup and better reading experiences like text to speech... I can't see myself buying any more books from the kindle store.

I don't see how Scala is any more deterministic than any other language.
Of course, then you will simply point a camera at a cheap smartphone and feed that to an LLM.

I had a ton of fun in my PhD. It probably wasn’t the best route if I was trying to maximize total lifetime earnings, but I’m happy with the route I took.

>The only thing the muller report found was trump obstructed the investigation, it completely exonerated any supposed connections to russia.

It did not exonerate him, quite explicitly. [1] The report found a lot of evidence of trump team making contact with Russians. You say yourself that the investigation was obstructed.

There was also this indictment on co-ordinated Russian funded interference in NA pundit/social media space. [2] Not to mention similar groups (I'm not sure about the status of the investigation in [2] at this point) have already been dismissed [3].

For me, this means you can't get to the kindle ebook files to use on other e-readers.

also, all your reading telemetry will probably be available to amazon.

Annual might not be any good. I knew a guy who had a history of colon cancer in his family. He got checked annually from his mid 30s on. At 46, a few months after a clear checkup, he visited his doctor who sent him for another check, and bam: he had cancer.

In the simplest terms, the token generation process B->C is done with the user's private key. So even if the server knows A,X,B they can't link it to the token C.
By that logic GTK3 would be native to Windows as well.
The wild thing is that the web has achieved both the aspirations and the failings mentioned here. There's an odd dichotomy of user experiences.

Progress really has accelerated. "Big data" couldn't have been a thing without the Internet. Science through improved communication is advancing more rapidly than ever before. Just look at how quickly things change today vs. 100 years ago in all aspects of life.

Knowledge is everywhere, you just need to know where to dig to work around all of the junk. You no longer need to take up an apprenticeship to understand the basics of a given job, and knowledge as a whole is more accessible than ever before.

We really can communicate with people all over the world. The Internet is always active, because users from across the globe are always online.

The Internet has accelerated globalism. People can readily expose themselves to outside ideas and perspectives, so long as they take the effort to step outside of their algorithm-prescribed interest bubbles every once in a while. You can make friends on the other side of the planet and communicate far easier than you could ever send letters or pay for long-distance phone calls.

People still make their own websites. I'm sure there are more of them then there ever were in the '90s, they're just significantly harder to surface in the deluge of the modern Internet.

Ads, pop-ups, and modals are only experienced by people that don't know about worthwhile ad/nuisance blockers.

Ultimately, the Internet is filled with more content rather than strictly better content than ever before. Though as a consequence of more, it means there's also more great knowledge and more likeminded subcultures available than ever before, but you need a certain kind of discipline to actively work to find it. This is why I feel that information literacy is one of the most important life skills: if you can find the "good stuff", discriminate fact from fiction, and dig deeper than an AI-generated Google summary of search results, then you have the means to learn and develop talents in just about anything.
