So, if I use my SIM card 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, Ill get banned? Doesn’t that seem absurd? The SIM card is enforcing one voice call at a time. If the apartment building has to wait in line to use it, what’s the difference? If you dep

Huh? I know how it works. My point is different than the representation.

by apgwoz 8mo ago
No. The quoted text says nothing about the value semantics, only the representation…

There have always been attempts at caching non-string values in Tcl for performance gains, but the semantics are the same. The value’s types are whatever the operator requires and an error when not compatible. If, internally, $x is an integ

Easily the most quoted part of the film, aside from “Hack the planet!!!!” … but also an amazing prediction! All the devices in our pockets are RISC machines. That did change everything.

Can text be put on a screen? And can you take a picture of it when it is? Well, you might have a screenshot of text.

Yes. Except they are attempting to make the claim that protesters are interfering with federal operations, which is a crime. Therefore, they can try to make the claim that they are only investigating potential involvement in a crime, punish

Any good and honest tansu experience reports out there? Would be nice to understand how “bleeding edge” this actually is, in practice. The idea of a kafka compatible, but trivial to run, system like this is very intriguing!

Perhaps I am missing something, but this seems to require a Lemon (LLM)? Is the idea that the Lemon is used to help build an index AOT that can be queried locally, after? I want to figure out how to build advanced tools, potentially by leve

Not to a professional, no. But this isn’t iMovie vs Final Cut. Aperture was only slightly above where iPhoto was going in capability. They should have raised the iPhoto/Photos bar a lot more to get back to where Aperture was, though.

I do like the convenience of iCloud, but totally agree that having them safe elsewhere is necessary. I’ve been pretty bad about keeping solid, non-iCloud backups of my photos. I definitely need to be more proactive about it.

I think Apple killed Aperture primarily because it was confusing to have iPhoto and Aperture with largely overlapping workflows. Aperture had the loupe view, and side by side comparison stuff, saved color grading tools (I think?), sure, but

I’ve been waiting to see what happens with Photomator, and the fact that it’s not being included in anyway here makes me think it might not survive? Either that, or it’s gonna be heavily integrated into Photos…

I think it might be _unethical_ to not spread the joy of playing Doom for the first time? Though, I’m not entirely sure there’s been enough research done about the effects of violent video games in rat gamer populations.

I was very happy to see this. I’m fairly against live animal testing, but giving rats the joy of playing Doom??? I think I _may_ have to be OK with this.

Not to mention HashiCorp bled talent before the acquisition was even announced (BUSL started it) and it didn’t really stop as far as I’m aware.

Wait. Is Jelly Car basically a rethinking of this? I never managed to have the elasto games, but looking at the trailer, there’s a lot of similarities.

The onus is on you here… but, I think I know where you’re going with this. In terms of number of email addresses people have and use, vs number of usernames people have and use, you might be right that some people have 1 or 2 email addresse

I think that the "tools" movement is probably the most interesting aspect of what's happening in the AI space. Why? Because we don't generally reuse the "jigs" we make as programmers, and the tool movement is f

You’re not wrong to bring up the social level, but you also have to combat the technological level as well. The systems that already exist don’t work not just because of social reasons. Mastodon/ActivityPub was gaining decent traction,

That’s exactly the point. Right now, “independent media” (across all political spectrums, mind you) is trying to rise up, but they’re doing so on platforms that _could_ easily turn them off. There’s a ton of multi-million subscriber Left le

It’s less about being susceptible to influence by the rich. Nothing can truly stop that. It’s more about ensuring that platforms can’t silence dissent. You can dissent in an echo chamber but it doesn’t do any good.

Patreon, Substack, etc have benefits in discovery. Self hosting requires that you figure out how to get discovered. That’s the main problem here.
