Oops, try taking a second look at your own links! I said "Sideloading as a term of art originally, in practice came into usage for transferring media to devices".

Your first link actually fits the description I gave, yet you're presenting it here as if unacknowledged.

Most of the usages you link to are in the paradigm of rom flashing or physical media data transfer, and don't even have the upshot of implying that "install" means download from preferred distributor, which is critical since that's what this whole thread is about. Hilariously, even your own links contain numerous casual references to "install" to describe the ordinary act of transferring files into the phone outside of the play store. Which is devastating for your point if your point is that sideloading is supposed to be exclusive term for that action, and that "install" has a long-standing and specific usage as meaning "distributed from Play Store."

Scattershot usage from people flashing ROMs or finding workaround hacks for hardware errors don't demonstrate that that vocabulary was as widely understood in the public consciousness as a settled meaning for sideload much less that the term install exclusively refers to downloading from the Play Store. And again importantly for this thread, it actually shows an evolution of the term that predominantly was about workaround hacks and rom flashing, which has now grown to comprehensively mean any installation of an app from outside the Play Store. If anything, that's a demonstration of a neologism.

And as a kid who grew up on Windows computers in the late '90s and early 2000s, it astonishes me that I have to say this but computing existed before 2009, and gives us a history from which we can draw when figuring out the established use of terms.

And again, as I already said, this sideload/install usage is unique to Android, not observed on Windows, Linux or even Apple. Giving me a bunch of links to a form of usage that I already accounted for in my own comment, and not addressing the more important part of my comment about the prevalence of install as a distribution neutral term, disregarding the history of computing prior to Android and outside of Android is an unfortunate misunderstanding of what your links do and don't say in this context.

Databases, facial recognition, video synthesis (creating unreality),
Pattern recognition, …. There’s a whole lot of techniques and technology going back to Operations Research in WW II that is useful to those in charge. Yes, tools are neutral, but some are more, erm, useful than others in this. Hackers hack, pocket the cash where available but don’t often consider the larger implications of their hack.

But then societies seem to be going well until they’re not. Boiling frogs I guess. And nobody reads the history as it’s all been done before and the clues are just there written down.

> Was there a lot of warmongering in russia in preparation for starting the war in 2022?

It didn't start in 2022, it just entered a new phase. This conflict was already going since 2014, and the callings were on the wall the whole time. Warnings regarding Russia under Putin are going back at least 2 decades, it was all speculated and to some degree known where he was going to.

> Because from what I saw wars tend to pop up all of the sudden

Usually not. When they specifically happen is often sudden, but wars are usually the result of long processes. Most of the time, it's well known to the people who are involved and informed what's going on, and it just needs a single spark for a situation to explode in the predicted way.

Take the USA for example, the fears about a civil war which are around for a while now. It might happen or not, but when the country explodes, then it wasn't a sudden development happening overnight, which nobody could have seen coming, but the result of a long-running process which was heating up the political climate.

Depending on the airport and terminal (e.g. shitholes like Frankfurt, especially terminal 2), filling it on the other side might mean a washbasin in a stinky toilet because they'd rather you buy overpriced bottled water. And many airports that do have at least water fountains only have some that seem deliberately designed to prevent you from using them to fill any reasonably sized bottle.

Also, don't count on security not throwing away your empty water bottle anyway just because they can.

It's probably not gonna help you, but that's possible in Music (macOS). There are two sorting criteria, so you could choose to sort by artist first, then for each album of a given artist sort by year. Or you can sort all albums by year, then inside each year alphabetically (album or artist) if that's what you meant.

It's a simple option to implement. But most developers without UI skills don't seem to think about stuff like that.

You have a lot of control over what the LLM creates. The way you phrase your requirements, give it guidance over architecture, testing, ux, libraries to use. You can build your own set of skills to outline how you want the LLM to automate your software process. There's a lot of craftmanship in making the LLM do exactly what you think it needs to do. You are not a victim at the mercy of your LLM.

You are a lead architecture, a product manager, a lead UXer, a lead architect. You don't have 100% control over what your LLM devs are doing, but more than you think. Just like normal managers don't micromanage every action of their team.

> You're orders of magnitude more likely to die in a road accident, but people don't fear that. They fear terrorist attacks far more.

On the contrary, a competent and responsible government should counter the hysteria, not enable it. It should protect citizens from car crashes rather than making a 18-lane highways through residential areas, and it should implement effective measures that reduce effective risk and panic regarding airline attacks, instead of pushing the fear even further with TSA.

I don't think their observations would even require such an evolution.

If public support among conservatives were at 15% or 85%, you'd see nearly identical output from the information sources they mention.

Jubilee videos would be full of the most goofball extremist people they could find, r/conservative would have enough people in the 15% to deter or actively suppress those who weren't (especially if the few moderators happened to be), the Fox News comment section would be packed to the gills with people in support, and Newsmax would be calling anyone not in the 15% a commie/RINO.

It's a totally absurd way to try to understand reality. The fact they suggest sampling from r/asktrumpsupporters (or r/peoplewhosupportClaimX) to understand how many conservatives support X is indicative of a fairly profound cognitive failure.

Note: This is not to suggest support among conservatives is actually in the 15% range. It's not. It's probably closer to 80% and with independents (and obviously Dems) overwhelmingly negative on the approach.

From before the Pretti murder, which flipped several conservatives I know personally, 23% of Republicans are saying ICE has gone too far:

> It's apparently an official priority

I've been following the github issue for C# web export and let me tell you: It's not been a priority.

> EnC makes it possible to change C# code while the game is running and the changes are reflected without losing the game state.

sounds exactly like code hot reload to me? It would be very nice to have.

> About setting up debugging+lsp, what were your struggles?

> Godot + C# DevEx is quite lacking if you use something like Neovim or Zed

you got me. I tried integrating a Godot workflow using neovim and at some point with emacs. Both were subpar. This actually reminds of another pain point: gdshader. Also very integrated with the editor just like GDscript, which makes it another thing you have to work on getting integrated with your IDE of choice - or you bite the bullet and just use the editor for this. But shaders are such a massive shitshow that I can't really blame Godot for this.

The issue is that whilst the warning exists and is there front and centre, the marketing around ChatGPT etc - which is absolutely deafening in volume and enthusiasm - is that they're PHD level experts and can do anything.

This marketing obscures what the software is _actually_ good at and gives users a poor mental model of what's going on under the hood. Dumping years worth of un-differentiated health data into a generic chatGPT chat window seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the strengths of large language models.

A reasonable approach would be to try to explain what kind of tasks these models do well at and what kind of situations they behave poorly in.

>Yeah, but jobs that are police-adjacent have them at a very high rate. Almost like they select for it or something...

Proximity to violence is probably the measuring stick you're looking for.

Police spend the bulk of their day credibly threatening violence. Just about every word that comes out of their mouth, pen or keyboard while they're at work is implicitly back by an "or else". Everyone who isn't an asshole is gonna wash out of that job, start doing something behind a desk, start a PI firm, etc. etc. So you're left with rookie and assholes and the occasional exception.

The TSA, all your non-police state and municipal enforcement agencies, etc, etc, are gonna serve to concentrate "asshole lites" people because anybody who isn't will have issues spending their day dispensing what are basically "do as I say, or pay what I say, or else the police will do violence on you" threats on behalf of the state and so they'll jump ship as they become jaded same as cops do, but the pressures are less because they're not as proximate to the violence.

You can take this a third step out. There are all sorts of industries, jobs, etc, etc. that exist soley to keep the above two groups off your back. Nobody wants to hire these people, but are basically forced to under 3rd hand thread of violence. Same effect, but still watered down.

Even more removed are jobs where some fraction of the business is driven to you under similar circumstances. For example, ask any mechanic. People forced to be there by a state inspection program are consistently the worst customers. And there's the same wash out effect. People get tired of arguing about tread depth or whatever and they go turn wrenches on forklifts or whatever.

I’ve definitely found free water fountains at CDG.

Now, one of the Bucharest airports literally does not have potable tap water. Their well, being under an airport and all, is contaminated. By email, they did inform me that the water is microbiologically fine. Unsure of their pipe to the municipal system was been built out.

1. "isn't felt right away" then what's the correct timescale? Is it 2 years? Is it 5 years? We are looking at 10 years now. Do you have any studies on this that you can quote to prove that at Microsoft scale and for the product they develop, 10 years is the time when things go bad?

2. "becoming more frequent and harder to solve" how much more frequent and harder? Things works pretty fine during Windows 10, but these days I run into a bug in Windows 11 every other day myself.

It would be a surprise if this has more to do with QA from 2014 than vibe coding.

One could denounce this war as a preventive and thus illegal war and one would be right. However, Westerners have taunted the country for decades, and the last expension and takeover of Ukraine by western-backed fascists has pushed them into committing exactly that. If I keep provoking you with a knife, don't be surprised if I end up beating you to a pulp.

> Win11 released almost 5 years ago

Oh wow, I hadn't even paid any attention to that. To me Windows 11 was released on October 1, 2024, when the LTSC version came out, and is roughly when I upgraded my gaming PC to the said LTSC build from the previous Windows 10 LTSC build.

Unnecessarily doing extra work is not a virtue. Leave the Catholicism behind. I'm not using AI to replace proglem solving, thinking through and understanding the problem and then figuring out how to fix it, the systems thinking, design, architecture, algorithms, domain modelling, etc. I'm just not dealing with the BS "what was the order of the arguments this function took again? What's the library API for this?" stuff and writing boiler-plate or managing typechecker-driven refactors. The question is whether what you make is any good, and I still spend a lot of time making sure what I built made sense, is well factored and DRY, and is as elegant as I know how to make it. In fact, with the increased leverage LLMs give me, I've found myself spending more time on code quality and testing than I used to!
by alkonaut | 2026-01-27 12:36:06+00:00
This makes me wonder what the testing method is for this sort of thing. Presumably you'd do as much as possible in VM's to get repeatable states with updates from every conceivable starting point.

But what about physical machines? Exactly how many repeatable update tests on physical machines are done? You get a combinatorial explosion if you need to test on 100 different configurations for hardware and you have 100 different starting points in your pre-update OS image. But something like that (10k tests on physical machines, millions for VM's) is what I would _expect_ they are doing.

This whole article severely understates the difficulty of making a bomb.

There are two ways to make a bomb: either using weapons grade uranium (like the Hiroshima bomb) or weapons grade plutonium (like the Nagasaki bomb). The first requires uranium enrichment facilities and the second requires spent fuel reprocessing facilities. No such facilities exits in the Nordic countries, and both are stupendously complex. You can't just wave a want and build them. And certainly not in a clandestine way (which the author does not actually propose). If they start on this path, maybe, maybe, their own population would accept, but it's unlikely the population of other countries would accept too. Lots of the parts and raw materials needed for these facilities will need to be imported, the Nordic countries can't simply build the entire supply chain, no matter how rich they are per capita. The access to some of that upstream supply chain will be curtailed, because other countries are either strategic adversaries (Russia, China) or democracies where a large fraction of the population opposes nuclear armament. Add to that that some of the key scientists and engineers involved in such a project could be the target of assassinations (oh, wait, Russia would never do that, would it?).

> With Linux it is always the relative that happens to be around

That's certainly true. And it's a chicken-vs-egg problem that's hard to solve. But it doesn't really have anything to do with which system is easier to use. It has much more to do with Microsoft's past unfair business practices (asking shops more for windows licenses if they happened to sell computers with something else than windows on it comes to mind) and the slowness of retail in adapting. Selling computers is way down (most people don't need more than a tablet/phone), selling in physical stores is way down (has moved online). Shops are not going to spend money on training their salespeople in linux. Most of the time they won't even really know windows.

> Correct. In the US, the TSA is just a government jobs program for the lowly skilled or unskilled.

This is oft repeated, but as a federal job, the bar is at least slightly higher than those typical AlliedUniversal/Andy Frain/Etc mall cop guards you see all over the place. I have no doubt that many are incompetent, but I think it is a big unfair that it gets singled out as a "jobs program" given that the bar is on the floor industrywide for security.

An interesting comparison would be FPS, which is the agency that does security checks for federal buildings, also under DHS same as TSA. They are armed despite many of them having an indoor only role (a few do patrol larger campuses outdoors). Thus, I suspect the requirements are somewhat higher. They are generally more thorough in my experience, except for one time where they did not notice one of my shoes got stuck and didn't go through the X ray, which is funny because they insist on all dress shoes being scanned as they have a tiny metal bar inside. The same shoes go through TSA just fine.

I'm curious whether the improved range is actually going to make the product worse for my particular use case, which is being alerted when I've left my bag somewhere (this has happened to me at least 5 times over the years). My understanding is that the item left behind notifications are triggered when your phone loses contact with the AirTag, so increased range can potentially take me from being notified as I step off the train to being notified as I leave the station and the train has departed.

Are there many things that could be changed without a) changing the fundamental nature of what social media is or b) keeping the harms that are being identified?

> Just banning it instead of searching for a good balance won’t help the next generation to understand the world and take a part in it.

I would dispute that you need to be anywhere near social media to take part in the world, in fact I'd go so far as to say it's the opposite. Social media is playing into isolation and anxiety for young people. Putting some distance between them and the social media companies is likely to be healthy.

Left leaning in the US has not meant international trade friendly, historically it’s the opposite. The Clinton/Obama branch of the democrats who were pro free trade are really the exception.

That the Republicans sold out their business branch for cronyism and populism with MAGA may end up being the negative outcome of that movement with the longest negative ramifications (my thinking being administrations can change immigration policy easily and Trump is more the final nail in the rules based international order than the initiator of its demise)
by morpheuskafka | 2026-01-27 12:39:00+00:00
They could theoretically revoke precheck for doing this, but my guess is they won't because it is a believable accident (just like people leave them in their bag all the time) and given that the sign warning about firearms mentions that even that is just a five year suspension, not permanent, my guess is they wouldn't even bother for an harmless item.

As a person who has been told I'm "morbidly obese" for decades now, I will say that doctors at almost every level look at your chart not you. I've been told time and time again that until I get my weight under control, my health will suffer.

I'm 5'8" and weigh on average 210lbs. My BMI isn't even morbidly obese, it is 31, which is just "regular" obese, but on top of that, a DEXA scan shows that I am actually only 25% body fat, with only 1lb of visceral fat.

Doctor's don't care about that, they see on the Epic chart that my BMI is > 30 and have to tell me some spiel about a healthier lifestyle so they check check off a checkbox and continue to the next screen.

You either don't have a child or have an agenda that does not include your input in its future. This is the nicest and most charitable take I can have here. In short, but you are wrong in a way that you might not even understand to be possible. FWIW, I heard this line of argumentation before and, amusingly based on the argument itself, reeks of current education system.

To add to what has already been said:

- Business law is in its infancy and local courts excessively favour the Indian side. In the event of a dispute, enforcing the terms of the contract can be very complicated or even illusory.

- Banking and insurance services are complicated, slow and expensive.

- There is not one but many different sets of legislation per province. There
are gaps in the legislation and it is necessary to go through a long compliance process based on the manufacturer's or supplier's legislation, involving translation, negotiation, etc.

- Each time there is a change in decision-makers, at least part of the process must be repeated.

I work for an energy company and we have a team that has been working on an Indian project for almost ten years, without the project really seeming to have progressed.

The Indian market is a bottomless pit if you don't have a very high-ranking political sponsor in the Indian government.

I respectfully disagree, BASIC/Java/Arduino hides too much about how the CPU works from users.

Getting a 6502 kit from Ben Eater, and walking though how the CPU works will implicitly show how languages abstracted away whats actually happening. And more importantly, the skills necessary to understand how to write efficient programs.
