My experience is that bit-rot with CDs is excessively rare.

Scratches and scuffs are rare "with good care". Even then, deep scratches are the real issue. Minor scratches are often irrelevant with the error correction.

So how does one need to wonder if the CD will even play?
Utah (unsurprisingly) has a really good rising "sober bar" scene. Lots of unique soda shops with custom sodas.

Still, I'm not a huge fan of soda because it always leaves a sugary film in my mouth that I dislike. I'm a bigger fan of juice-based smoothies. I would love to see more nut/plant "milk" related options (with various spices for flavoring instead of sugar). Pistachio milk is delicious but I've only ever had it home made.
And yet, someone who is likely broke in more ways than one, is demonstrating that she has more.
Have a friend who's company made him fly out on a Sunday afternoon (thus having to pay him both overtime and a per diem) and stay at a hotel (which the company obviously paid for), because there where only business class tickets left for the Monday morning flight and company had a strict "no business class" policy. The price difference between the two tickets was less than $100.
> But that routine could always return left for the values of x passed to qux. Static analysis cannot possibly know that, but a JIT will

Sure, so there will be cases where a JIT could opportunistically devirtualize whereas a static devirtualization step can't. But with the static approach programmer can immediately see why devirtualization didn't happen, and what they would need to do to make it happen. I don't see that as contrary to the zero-cost abstraction philosophy: you have asked the computer to calculate a_complicated_computation_that_yields_a_kind(x) and make a virtual function call based on the result, if what you wanted was the computer to calculate a_complicated_computation_that_yields_left(x) and make a nonvirtual call then you should have told it that. Presumably you would still have put an indirection in there if you had been hand-coding it, because if you actually know that the computation always returns left then you would have written as much.

> Well, now you're saying you prefer the zero-cost abstraction philosophy of having as much control as possible on technical compilation aspects in the programming language. That's fine, of course, but I think this is far from the universal preference. I mean, I like this power in C++, but it clearly has the major costs that I mentioned in my original post, and it would continue to have them even with better inference. Sometimes we like our accidental complexity, but sometimes we don't.

I want to have the control if I need it, but that doesn't imply it has to carry a cost if I'm not using it. By analogy, in a language with complete type inference (e.g. H-M), I don't pay any cost for my variables having types I don't want to - I can write a script with zero type annotations, let the types be inferred, and it will still work just as well as it would in a unityped language. But then if I do want to put explicit types on some of the variables then I can pay the cost at that point and the language will let it interleave nicely with code that doesn't use type annotations.

Imagine inferring the worst-case performance characteristics of all program functions just as a part of the language. For functions that didn't put any effort into it, this information would be useless (probably infinite or at best known-finite-but-unbounded) - but valid. Even just a distinction between what's compile-time-constant or not would be useful (and many languages already draw that distinction in one way or another, but without the structure and visibility that would make it useful to programmers).

Alcohol, like all drugs, is about socializing. You get to experience strong sensations (energizing, relaxing, uninhibiting, etc.) but most of all you share these sensations with people. That's why sober people tend to get bored in a room of drunk people, or conversely why drinking (or otherwise indulging in substances) alone is a red flag for addiction. Recreational drug use, from the shared cigarette on the rooftop to binge drinking to collective mushroom trips is about making yourself vulnerable to others through strong sensations in the knowledge that they are feeling the same way. This lets you connect to people more easily: strangers strike up conversations, acquaintances become friends, friends become close friends, etc.

That's also why it's often recommended that you only drink alcohol or do drugs with people you 100% trust, especially if you're not used to it.
It seems like it's more like the part of software engineering that's "Figure out how to get a pull request accepted" or "Run git log and determine why this change was made" or "Present your work convincingly at a conference" than the part of software engineering that's "Fix warnings and pass tests." You're still working with systems, in a broad sense: you're working with systems of people with fairly discoverable incentives and desires. But they're very different from systems that run on your computer.
That would work, but at that point is it really less effort and expense that using a managed solution (AWS etc).
As part of this SI redefinition, the Boltzmann constant is also getting an exact definition 1.380 649 e-23 J/K (thereby defining the Kelvin).

If we identify the entropy formula

S = kB ln W

as really being about bits, we see that in natural units kB = 1/ln(2) and can eliminate all energies in favor of temperatures (or vice-versa). If you think that entropy is better measured in nats, kB = 1.

> Negligence in the UK regarding their nuclear energy sector pretty much killed any chance of a nuclear power plant ever existing on the island of Ireland

Huh? How does that follow? Besides I thought Ireland started and abandoned building a nuclear plant sometime in the 70s.

I know nuclear is currently prohibited there, but not why, only that it was fairly recent.
> they're driving a suspiciously cheap car in an expensive area?

This happens all the time in rich areas. It's a plain and simple fishing stop.

>I've never seen a tail light out ever,

Because your government intentionally makes vehicle ownership so financially onerous that everyone who drives a car has the resources (time more than money) to get it fixed promptly. In the US, even in poorer areas it's not common but it's not uncommon. In a 40min rush hour commute in the winter (when it's dark and you can see everyone using lights) I could probably still count on one hand the number of head lights and tail lights I see out.

Before you try to diversity based on race you need to diversity more based on other factors and stop hiring from the same schools as everyone.

Who cares if you have x number from certain race groups if everyone is from the same monoculture. Why not try to hire the best from African schools.. that will give you race diversity more important cultural diversity.
I don’t think that “wind power makes coal more expensive” is a good argument against wind, especially as the majority appear to agree that coal is bad and we should have less of it. Also, didn’t the coal plants already exist before the wind turbines were built? So they’re already at the size for fallback supply?
Is it a question of marketing/naming or of feature design?

Ultimately, I'm skeptical these are a good idea regardless of messaging.

I can see the appeal. Drivers get to experience cool new tech. Tesla/bmw/etc get a ramp that lets them develop autonomy gradually.

But at least in my uneducated opinion, autonomy-with-human-on-standby is a bad idea. Uncanny valley and whatnot.

Plex doesn't convert files for storage on a portable device, nor does it replaygain. It also has a terrible music selector interface and doesn't firewall punch.

Streaming is only part of the issue. I'm talking about the whole lifecycle, from backed up lossless to lossy-on-device in whatever format, or to a streaming service that integrates with your player devices, all from a single source of truth that you control 100% with no silly DRM or ads or restrictions.

I was a happy user of a Sansa Clip+ circa 2009-2011, but I think like most others, once we started getting decent smartphones, carrying a dedicated music player just didn't seem worthwhile anymore, except maybe for a long plane ride where preserving my phone's battery life was critical.

I suppose with headphone jack and SD slot becoming an increasing rarity in the Android world, the Clip might become more relevant again. But I hold out for the models that keep both.
But what is Session Puzzling? [pdf]
The biggest reason I use Make is the dependency resolving.

In the `make init` example. It doesn't matter how many intermediate steps are involved `init` is the end-state I want to achieve. So in most of my Makefiles the `init` target will fan-out into requirements as wide and deep as it needs, including running apt to install missing system dependencies. But then the good part. If a dependency is already fulfilled Make won't have to run it again. Although sometimes its hard or clunky to convert some dependencies into 'files' so Make can do its dependency resolving work properly.
I'd like to know too. I also don't consider this off-topic considering we're contrasting streaming music with CDs, and one of the "value adds" of streaming is discoverability.

Canadian Startup KOHO Raises C$42m to Expand Banking Services
Same way I have for the past 30 years. I listen from time to time to stations that play the kind of music I like. Sometimes I check out various places that have top 100 charts. If I find something I like, I go get it and add it to my collection. Rerun the script and resync my devices.
Also this. Quote: "Witherspoon was especially impressed by his primary contact at MonsterCloud, Zack Green. “Zack’s title, dear God, it’s a mile long title. He seems to know a lot.”
Green’s titles on his email signature include “Ransomware Recovery Expert,” “Cyber Counterterrorism Expert,” “Cyber Crime Prevention Expert” and “Cyber Intelligence Threat Specialist.” We called MonsterCloud asking for Green but were told he was in a meeting."

In my experience on dealing with US managers, the longer the titles they have, the dumber the person is.
I've generally done the same, but I could do without the smell and the way some people act when they're drinking. I've definitely encountered a bar or too that was very limited in what else they sold - not even having Coke or tonic that would usually be mixed. Mostly though, I agree with the one that mentioned wanting a truly drink optional culture, and I hope the social trends mentioned continue. I've definitely had coworkers that weren't cool with me being sober when they weren't, and people who wanted to meet up to talk but quickly lost the ability to speak coherent thoughts. Emphasis on socializing over drinking would be good for everyone. I don't mind if people have some beers, but having more than a few and driving home, having more than a few and being a jerk, and occasionally not having anything to do unless you want to join in on that isn't my idea of a good time. If things go that way, I'm not even getting the socializing I was hoping for.

edit: occasionally there's a bartender who really appreciates the DD and will go out of their way to make sure you have a good time and are willing to DD again. They rock.

I'm just the opposite. Drinking makes me tired.
I fly Berlin - Warsaw (my two "hometowns") quite regularly. Takes me 15-20 minutes to get to the airport, then around 10-20 minutes inside, thanks to the awesome Tegel airport. I usually leave my flat about an hour before the flight. Frequently end up with 10+ minutes buffer of idle waiting.

Around 50 minutes later I land in Warsaw (another awesome international airport). Another 20-25 minutes later and I'm at my mother's house. All in all under 3 hours time.

Just for reference the same route by car takes about 5h and by train around 7h.

I know my example is very specific and understand it cannot apply to most of the flights but still.
The biggest problem I have with the way I listen to music these days is that I'm basing tricked into thinking my "library" is a collection of my music.

I get that a $10/m subscription isn't selling me each song I listen to, but it is letting me collect them, and that collection is a lie.

At any moment it may change, songs can be deleted at will by Apple, or Spotify. This service is great in that it exposes a much wider quantity of artists to me, but it's a price for a radio service, not a music collection.

Tastes nothing like beer, but if you are just in it for the barley taste, it has a very powerful and delicious flavor.

I’ve done a few small IR jobs in my time, and also have a hobby of reading every breach report that comes out.

It seems the vast majority of breach discovery amongst typical companies is an engineer going “hrmm that’s odd”: a router at 100% CPU because it’s currently part of a DDoS attack. A DBA noticing a huge query they don’t recall running. Unusual login times for administrative accounts. Having email systems sinkholed for sending spam. And of course “all my files are encrypted?”

This works better the more intimate the setting is. I can totally see it working in a small town. Here's a handful of reasons this could go sideways:

Some bars are just slammed. Like, 40 feet of bar, entire front is 5 people deep squirming to get served by two people, and you have to literally scream at those people to get service. Ordering a $1.50 sprite in that environment is not only hellish for you, it's arguably a waste of the bartender and everyone else's time. There's a counterargument along the lines of "we all pay to be here, everyone's equal" but I wouldn't expect it to be a common take.

If you have a problem, yes, it's going to be extremely hard to resist.

Scarier still, you could be the victim of an innocent mistake. I don't eat dairy. My burgers come out with cheese on them by mistake maybe 10% of the time. When the kitchen's on autopilot, they absentmindedly make the default version of the thing, and there's no system to catch that mistake until it gets to me. That soda water becomes a gin soda really easily. If you just don't like alcohol, this is a trivial mistake. If you're in recovery, you are in serious danger.

But it's not that you can't resist. It's that you feel weird for resisting. I have a friend that didn't drink for many years. He got extraordinarily sick of having to explain himself. Even if the people you meet are 100% supportive, merely having the situation brought up can feel like a burden or like it singles you out. Many people find it hard to enjoy themselves in the shadow of this feeling.

If I don't want to drink, I take people to tea. You still have a pretense for sitting down in a strange dim room and having intimate conversation. Just without all the other bullshit. But I think an abundance of tea houses might require a fairly big city, at least in America.

From zero to one child the change in regular life is astounding. You become a parent and in the process you lost a lot of your free time and lose all spontaneity from your life. From one to two children you will notice that you had some free time left with one but now you really _really_ don't have any more. No more evening movies or hour long coffees with wife. You wonder what childrenless people even do with the ultra metric shitton of time they have as you cannot imagine anymore. You simply don't have enough time for two kids and you have to learn to manage and optimize what you have to do the best you can.

From two to three children... nothing really changes anymore! You won't get more responsibilites as you already have them and no less time as you already don't have any :)
"after training it on a huge amount of data it magically works"

The magic part can be problematic. I think there have been some recent(ish) advances in introspection of neural networks to better understand how the initial input features influence the output, but the "black box" is still a problem in some practical environments where, for example, deployment of a model may need to show there's no disproportionate impact on effected sub populations.

Then there's things like the most recent Tesla Autopilot Crash [0] where comprehension of the failure mode & cause can be difficult to obtain.

It is a moving target. A lot of "day 1" patches have absolutely tanked performance only to regain performance later via smarter mitigations. Both Linux and Windows as well as microcode updates have all seen some of the performance loss regained.

And while it would be nice to call any point "the end" and measure then, as of two weeks ago they were still finding additional vulnerabilities and patching them. So if there is an end we aren't there yet.

That all being said, I am also curious on what the results would show. Just very hard to pin down.
