There's still a long road for most libraries/clients to switch to http/2
Just this week read this craziness:
» Remarks
In .NET Core, the default message version differs based on the version you're using.
.NET Core 2.1 changed the default value from 1.1 to 2.0.
In .NET Core 3.0, the default value was reverted back to 1.1. «
Appl did something alike, but only on their own os when switched from sys8 to OzX. But distinctly aliases goal were for helping customers scripts backwards compatibility...
...can't recall of any other cases of global command line tools anticompetitive unlawful tactics via alternatives alias default os block?
#MorganSpurlock has died and it seems like a good time to remind everyone that in 2008 he released a documentary called 'Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden?'
The reception to the film was negative. People didn't like that "the mcdonalds guy" was getting involved in political affairs, or that he was treating Osama like a subject for comedy. The reaction was overwhelmingly "stay in your lane".
Osama was found 3y later. The documentary pinpointed where he was hiding within less than 200km.

I hate it how transit apps will have a mode that lets you say you're about to get on a bus and then tracks your trip but if you're already on the bus and you just want it to estimate when you'll get there this is always awkward or impossible in the UI
yep any app when route has to combine different Metro/Bus/Train/etc. easily goes off:
Instead of some ~5 min walk, will render some >25 min transport change alternative.
also when out of cities any app easily mislead abandoned non-transitable forest roads as if were valid for cycling!
then defaulted to manually route sets: previous or next stop, and stop close to destination, transport medium, etc.
I know your struggle, the conclusion I got is that this site is designed for company/org multi licenses register/usage, but not for individuals specific use!
» however suspect that if you just add an ever so tiny (intelligent) human check to the mix, the use and outcome of any such tools will become so much better.
I suspect that will be true for a long time into the future as well.
I have no doubts that people will keep trying to find shortcuts even in the future.
I am sure they will keep trying to earn that quick reward money.
Like for the email spammers, the cost of this ends up in the receiving end « @bagderhttps://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/01/02/the-i-in-llm-stands-for-intelligence/

Reading about this xz backdoor story from the outside as a person who is still learning much about the technical ins and outs, but as a psychologist it is just overwhelming to imagine a maintainer in this position and all of the feelings of pressure and skill based identity and social isolation that must be involved.
Imho psychology has a duty to show up for technology practitioners and work for them just like we see and work for the well-being of emergency workers, healthcare providers.
Several years ago, I had a CT scan of my jaw. The dentist wasn't sure if she was allowed to give me a copy of the scan, which led me to ask "who owns the copyright to my medical images?" I still don't have an answer to the copyright question - but I do now […]
This is a medical tech thing still non-resolved internationally!
They assure the patient that the recorded output files are preserved, restricted, confidential, etc. But without patient right to obtain a copy of them.
I have for pushed such requests for patients rights to obtain for myself and for various acquittances, in various countries in EU, and US, and UK. And the best thing to receive —beyond the clinical write-ups copies for the patient— where few additional paper printouts!!!

» is being scrutinised by scientist over his claims that a computer passed the "Turing Test"« ?!
» The scientist later implanted sensors and a microchip into the nerves in his arm, similar to an implant he also gave to his wife, so that when someone grasped her hand Prof Warwick was able to experience the same sensation in his. « ?? !!
yep it is problem solved behind the wheels, hidden and helpful for most users, since years, in most used text editors, ide, code syntax checkers, etc...
...meanwhile git still insist that asking in a confusingly written style, in a less contextually aware, last moment, etc. somehow could be useful, avoid mistakes, be helpful?
If I could wind the clock back four years, I wouldn't do https://third-bit.com/sdxjs/ and https://third-bit.com/sdxpy/ in JavaScript and Python: I'd use Lua so that the ideas about software design didn't have to struggle to be seen in a forest of language features. No disrespect to JS and Py, but it's easier for people to learn to fly in a single-engine prop plane than in the cockpit of a commercial jetliner.
Lua is a language that socks any programmers background thinking from academy or industry typical languages structures. for how much can be achieved with a minimalistic syntax rulesets!
I skimmed first the article, then read the article, to finally fully read the paper: So that was nicely surprised how talented is this piece from Bahar Gholipour & #TheTransmitter editors, because displays a certain creative hard work done to explain it for any kind of non-expert global readers!
ps: The Also: linked piece includes in 1st 2nd? old paper you contrib ;)
I guess we do #introduction posts over here? I work on the #neuroscience (am I doing those hashtags right!?) of learning and memory, specifically how we learn while we navigate space and context. To do this, I take in vivo recordings (currently calcium imaging but ephys has my heart) of freely moving rats! After that, I use computational and mathematical approaches to analyze their neural activity! I am currently a BRAIN Initiative K99/R00 postdoc at Northwestern working with John Disterhoft and Sara Solla. I was trained at MIT with Matt Wilson, where I got my PhD in biology, and my BS is from Carnegie Mellon. Welcome!
~90K words. A few years of work. A transformative journey that did not end at all as I thought when I started. I'm grateful to have done it - what a privilege. A much bigger conceptual project than anything I've done up to this point.
I got to think intensely for a better part of a few years (in parallel to running a lab and teaching as a professor). Somehow there was not time for that before. I'm not exactly sure where I found it; I just did.
There will be many revisions going forward. And it won't hit the shelves anytime soon. But I'm going to pause and celebrate this moment, where every one of the bits are finally in place. I learned so much along the way. Even today, on the last day, I was fascinated, and I'm grateful. (That said, I'm also a bit tired).
