41,791,000 | comment | bjacobso | 2024-10-09T18:17:08 | null | zod is great, but I have been moving to @effect/schema and think it deserves a mention here. @effect/schema is the evolution of io-ts, which originally inspired zod.<p>It supports decoding as well as encoding, and fits natively into the rest of the effect ecosystem.<p><a href="https://effect.website/docs/guides/schema/introduction" rel="nofollow">https://effect.website/docs/guides/schema/introduction</a><p>It does come with the cost of importing effect, so might not be the best in certain scenarios. However, there are smaller options than zod if that is a concern. | null | null | 41,764,163 | 41,764,163 | null | [

On the other hand, though, most of his wealth is tied up in an single incredibly overvalued stock and when the market corrects that interpretation he won't be anywhere even approaching the top. I'd feel much more comfortable being someone like Gates or the Waltons. | null | null | 41,789,751 | 41,789,751 | null | [

A language is defined by the way people actually speak. If that's influenced by a central organization, fine, but that does not contradict descriptivism at all. Someone studying a language should always study the way the language is spoken by real people, using prescriptivist sources as supplementary sources of information where needed. | null | null | 41,790,747 | 41,787,647 | null | [

41,791,012 | comment | tombert | 2024-10-09T18:18:36 | null | > Ok, so like filesystem snapshots.<p>Sort of, but only sort of. The filesystem is actually (mostly) unchanged for the backups. You have the /nix partition that can only really be touched by the nix program itself, and you have your root partition built based on the manifest defined in your configuration file. As such, every time you want to change anything about the system, you "rebuild" it, it stores a "copy" of the old root system, but since it's a cool lazy functional thing, it really only stores the diff's from the configuration, so they aren't terribly expensive, so it's not weird for me to have literally hundreds of generations stored on my laptop. Old stuff in the /nix partition isn't deleted until it's garbage collected, and a lot of stuff can't be garbage collected until the generation attached to it is removed.<p>So it's like a filesystem snapshot, but only the system files itself, the actual stuff on the hard drive actually doesn't get touched.<p>> However, since LiveCD/Flash images became a thing, I stopped worrying about the OS at all, just keep a recent backup of my /data partition.<p>I actually kind of do that with NixOS too!<p>My root partition is a tmpfs mount, meaning that every reboot is effectively a fresh root [1]. I have persistent volumes for my home directory and a few other things. To quote a friend, it's like a "new car smell on every reboot".<p>[1] Followed this tutorial: <a href="https://elis.nu/blog/2020/05/nixos-tmpfs-as-root/" rel="nofollow">https://elis.nu/blog/2020/05/nixos-tmpfs-as-root/</a> | null | null | 41,790,886 | 41,788,557 | null | null | null | null |

41,791,020 | comment | stego-tech | 2024-10-09T18:19:46 | null | Loving the discourse in the comments here. Speaking as someone who grew up alongside Google in a sense, I fall on the side of the "break it up" camp. It was novel at the time to have a single company so nicely provide us with everything digitally that we could need - G Suite, YouTube, Search, Maps, Advertising, Books, Reader, etc - but in hindsight, we gave too much power to too unaccountable an entity, who in turn used it to choke off any avenues to challenge its dominance.<p>As for the rebuttal of "bUt ThE gDp", there's a counter-argument to be made that the GDP would have grown just as much with a higher diversity and stringent M&A regulations by spurring on new businesses and concepts, as opposed to mainstreaming fad after fad that seemingly solely benefits the established players. There's another argument to be made equating GDP values to desirable targets creates a Goodhart's Law problem, thereby making GDP as a measure of growth or success a bad metric; the rise of income and wealth inequality these past few decades, when there was increased focus on GDP as a target of growth or success, could be viewed as evidence supporting said argument.<p>It's worth noting that this case against Google is likely to be the bellwether for future divestments and breakups. Whatever comes next will be an invaluable learning experience for both sides, just like AT&T and Microsoft's own anti-trust woes were learning experiences for the current crop of companies. | null | null | 41,784,287 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,791,037 | comment | astrostl | 2024-10-09T18:21:46 | null | > a block universe<p>I first encountered this theory and the related "eternalism" philosophy via Alan Moore [1] (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, The Ballad of Halo Jones, Swamp Thing, Batman: The Killing Joke, From Hell, etc.). Watchmen and its non-Moore-affiliated sequel have a lot of riffs on time and determinism.<p>Q: Jerusalem deals with the idea of eternalism: everything that has happened is happening right now and forever. Could you explain your views on this?<p>A: My conception of an eternity that was immediate and present in every instant – a view which I have since learned is known as ‘Eternalism’ – was once more derived from many sources, but a working definition of the idea should most probably begin with Albert Einstein. Einstein stated that we exist in a universe that has at least four spatial dimensions, three of which are the height, depth and breadth of things as we ordinarily perceive them, and the fourth of which, while also a spatial dimension, is perceived by a human observer as the passage of time. The fact that this fourth dimension cannot be meaningfully disentangled from the other three is what leads Einstein to refer to our continuum as ‘spacetime’.<p>This leads logically to the notion of what is called a ‘block universe’, an immense hyper-dimensional solid in which every moment that has ever existed or will ever exist, from the beginning to the end of our universe, is coterminous; a vast snow-globe of being in which nothing moves and nothing changes, forever. Sentient life such as ourselves, embedded in the amber of spacetime, would have to be construed by such a worldview as massively convoluted filaments of perhaps seventy or eighty years in length, winding through this glassy and motionless enormity with a few molecules of slippery and wet genetic material at one end and a handful or so of cremated ashes at the other. It is only the bright bead of our consciousness moving inexorably along the thread of our existence, helplessly from past to future, that provides the mirage of movement and change and transience.<p>A good analogy would be the strip of film comprising an old fashioned movie-reel: the strip of film itself is an unchanging and motionless medium, with its opening scenes and its finale present in the same physical object. Only when the beam of a projector – or in this analogy the light of human consciousness – is passed across the strip of film do we see Charlie Chaplin do his funny walk, and save the girl, and foil the villain. Only then do we perceive events, and continuity, and narrative, and character, and meaning, and morality. And when the film is concluded, of course, it can be watched again.<p>Similarly, I suspect that when our individual four-dimensional threads of existence eventually reach their far end with our physical demise, there is nowhere for our travelling bead of consciousness to go save back to the beginning, with the same thoughts, words and deeds recurring and reiterated endlessly, always seeming like the first time this has happened except, possibly, for those brief, haunting spells of déjà vu.<p>Of course, another good analogy, perhaps more pertinent to Jerusalem itself, would be that of a novel. While it’s being read there is the sense of passing time and characters at many stages of their lives, yet when the book is closed it is a solid block in which events that may be centuries apart in terms of narrative are pressed together with just millimetres separating them, distances no greater than the thickness of a page. As to why I decided to unpack this scientific vision of eternity in a deprived slum neighbourhood, it occurred to me that through this reading of human existence, every place, no matter how mean, is transformed to the eternal, heavenly city. Hence the title.<p>1: <a href="https://alanmooreworld.blogspot.com/2019/11/moore-on-jerusalem-eternalism-anarchy.html" rel="nofollow">https://alanmooreworld.blogspot.com/2019/11/moore-on-jerusal...</a> | null | null | 41,783,945 | 41,782,534 | null | null | null | null |

Similarly for a community heath worker moving into nursing, etc. And a different proposal, for automated support and oversight of community health workers' hard-to-take-well cervical-cancer screening photos, integrated with ai-filtered city-based expert consults. And then there's patients who become single-disease domain experts.<p>So looking forward, perhaps we could imagine a human-computer-hybrid setup where a grandma training and executing with oversight was gracefully supported?

41,791,062 | comment | mywittyname | 2024-10-09T18:24:34 | null | The mistake with focusing on reaction time is that humans can anticipate actions and can perform complex sequences of actions pretty quickly (we have two hands and 10 fingers). So someone playing one of those "test your reaction time" games might only score like 30ms. But someone playing a musical instrument can still play a 64th note at 120BPM.<p>Imagine playing a drum that took between 0 and 5 extra frames at 60FPS between striking the head and it producing a sound. Most people would notice that kind of delay, even if they can't "react" that quickly.<p>In games, frame delay translates to having to hold down a key (or wait before pressing the next one) for longer than is strickly necessary in order to produce an effect. Since fighting games are all about key sequences, the difference between needing to hold key for 0 frames and 5 frames is massive when you consider key combinations might be sequences of up to 5 key presses. 5 frames of delay x five sequential key presses x 8ms a frame = 1600ms vs 1 frame x 5 seq. key presses x 8ms = 40ms.<p>There's a massive difference between taking 1.6s to execute a complex move and 0.040s. | null | null | 41,790,495 | 41,758,371 | null | [

41,791,070 | comment | bob1029 | 2024-10-09T18:25:44 | null | Obviously the little inverter generators can't carry the normal load, but you can adapt to it. The biggest thing for most people is running their AC condenser.<p>A portable inverter AC unit (ideally a dual-hose unit) will pull ~1700w on the high setting. You can cool a solid 1000 sqft even in the Texas heat with something like this while also running your lamps/wifi/starlink/fridge/etc.<p>Combine with something like an EcoFlow battery, and you can actually shut it off completely while you sleep (and lock it up inside safely). Setting the AC to the low setting will reduce its consumption to ~400w intermittently which will easily run on a 2.5kWh battery all night. The other advantage of the EcoFlow is that you can temporarily run much larger loads than the generator is directly capable of. Really good for induction cooktops and getting your washing machine spin cycle up to speed. | null | null | 41,790,297 | 41,764,095 | null | null | null | null |

Then the dictionaries, being non-prescriptive, will have to add those words since they're needed to understand common parlance.<p>And completely agree about young generations, I've actually been super pleased at how many new words gen z is creating! I feel like the previous few generations created way fewer words. I disagree with things like introducing inconsistent spellings like "lyk" in terms of adopting that as a standard, because it just makes the language a headache to learn. But creating words for things that don't have existing words (like carrapticious in my other example), or even creating new sort of word variations which kind of grow/evolve into their own words (like rizz) seem like a nice expressive way of extending language. (I'm a bit more mixed on the value of the latter, though). | null | null | 41,790,434 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

41,791,090 | comment | bityard | 2024-10-09T18:27:46 | null | Breaking up AT&T was unquestionably the right call. (So to say.)<p>Long distance was expensive for quite a while even after the break-up. If you called up an out-of-state friend or relative to catch up, you expected the call to cost you at least a few bucks. (And you hoped they would be the ones to call you next time.) Even into the 90's, long distance at $0.10/minute was considered cheap. And in most rural areas, everywhere past a mile or so out of town was long distance.<p>I remember buying long-distance calling cards to bring our phone costs down. For about 5 years, it was cheaper to just get a local-only phone line and then buy your long-distance as phone cards. Each card came with a certain number of minutes pre-loaded. You'd dial the 1-800 number on the back, scratch off your PIN, enter it, and then you'd dial your destination number. Other than the hassle of buying and using the card, the major downside was that your own number didn't (usually) show up on the caller ID.<p>They were also good if you stayed in hotels a lot, since hotels would charge upward of usurious amounts for both local and long-distance calls but they would typically allow toll-free calls to go through without charge. | null | null | 41,790,667 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,791,095 | comment | lcouturi | 2024-10-09T18:28:13 | null | 'Courriel' was coined by French Canadian translator André Clas, not by the Académie Française. The Office québécois de la langue française successfully promoted its usage in Quebec in the 90s and the Académie Française unsuccessfully tried to do the same in France.<p>'Courriel' is still commonly used by French Canadians, but indeed it was never widely adopted by France. As a French Canadian, I usually use 'courriel", though the anglicism 'e-mail' is also quite commonly used. Can't say I've ever seen anyone use 'mél', tho. | null | null | 41,790,465 | 41,787,647 | null | [

41,791,096 | comment | fuzzfactor | 2024-10-09T18:28:15 | null | >the latest that has come out of Redmond.<p>You may not even know about the latest from last week, it's the long-awaited Windows 11 24H2 general release.<p>Among other things, now you get bitlocker by default upon installation, and it automatically encrypts (not only) its own partition, <i>plus any others</i> within the realm of its default autoencryption settings.<p>This can be a little bit of an ordeal to recover from even if you have a Microsoft Account. If you have already made the effort to maintain a Local User instead, it can be accomplished but naturally you wont be able to decrypt using any online credentials. You would barely notice anyway since there are no notifications about bitlocker of any kind, much less autobitlocker with a fury. So you don't actually have any decryption keys at this point either. Other popups <i>will</i> occur though, nothing very useful as usual. Plus when booted to the newly installed W11 24H2 you're an authorized user so you can access your C: volume and every other volume like normal. So you would never guess there's a problem until you boot that PC to some other volume, like one having up-to-date W10 installed. And it wont boot because that whole partition has been stealth encrypted and the undamaged bootfiles no longer recognize it. It can only be accessed when you are already booted to the new 24H2 volume but bitlocker is still not "complete" on any other volumes without a Microsoft Account, so on each encrypted volume there is only an option to turn bitlocker "on" not off. You can muddle through and obtain a local decryption key but it does not work in a straightforward way (and perhaps maybe <i>never</i> the first time), plus decryption takes a bit of time. So it ends up being faster and easier to reformat the encrypted volume and recover the contents from backup.<p>To correct this, action needs to be taken in advance before the installation of W11 24H2 like no Windows before, you must make sure no other disk volumes are exposed and that the install setup process can only "see" the target volume you are intending to install 24H2 onto. Otherwise you <i>really</i> need to use the latest RUFUS app to tweak and adjust the Windows install routine so you can disable things like autobitlocker in your customized USB Windows install device. <i>Before</i> you subject a multipartioned PC to unbridled mayhem like never before. Not just a multibooter.<p>This finally adds up with other creeping challenges to make the latest Windows more fiddly and in need of arcane command-line intervention more so than Linux for the first time.<p>Not like it was since the beginning of Linux up until a week ago.<p>And it's a big leap. | null | null | 41,789,220 | 41,788,557 | null | null | null | null |
41,791,097 | comment | VyseofArcadia | 2024-10-09T18:28:28 | null | I'm not sure I 100% agree.<p>I've been thinking a lot lately about the cost of off-the-shelf solutions from the perspective of sustainability, and there is a cost beyond money. The performance of software almost always degrades over time. By buying Foo off-the-shelf, you are saying, "I am ok with getting on the same bloat-dictated hardware upgrade cycle as Foo."<p>Of course you have the option of buying Foo and never upgrading, unless Foo has a license that forces you to. But that also walls you off from security bugfixes. But by replicating the essential features of Foo in-house, you can actually set and stick to a complexity and performance budget.<p>Of course if you are a business of any real size, you're already on the hardware upgrade treadmill anyway, and probably all of your customers are too, so what does it matter if your software is a little slower and a little more resource hungry year after year after year? Other than maybe a little twinge of guilt every now and then. | null | null | 41,784,606 | 41,781,777 | null | [

20 years later they became one of the favorites. | null | null | 41,790,959 | 41,790,295 | null | null | null | null |
