Heat expansion. That's also why it would leak fuel when on the ground (fuel lines would expand at speed so they needed expansion gaps when on the ground).

Outside emergency situation, the crew had to wait inside the plane after landing, waiting for the surfaces to cool down enough that they could safely get out without melting their gear.
Do you try to avoid coming across as high pressure though when you do this or do you embrace that and think if they can't handle the high pressure they wouldn't be interested anyway?
I am really enjoying this thread!

Faster integer division is exciting to me, and so is the prospect of faster "slow LEAs."

The other year I was able to speed up a Lua MD5 benchmark by 15% by eliminating slow-LEAs from the JIT backend. I only tracked down half of them though, so if the problem has eased that would save me tracking down the other half :). https://github.com/raptorjit/raptorjit/pull/55
I wonder how Avisynth is doing now. In the early 2000s it was my tool of choice for video conversions.

It used scripts, and it required external tools to do the encoding but despite the complexity, I found it less arcane than ffmpeg command lines for similar operations.
And what if instead of "stop using your preferred tool" the person says "there's this other tool I use and I find it makes these sorts of tasks easier; You might like it, too."
I can't open your link due to a stupid firewall restriction whilst I'm travelling, but I was talking about this article. If it has been debunked since, then I apologize for the error.

I too used to use olive oil every day, but now I haven't used it for years. It's one of the main sources of hidden calories in food, it's very hard to lose weight without cutting it.

One tablespoon of olive oil is 120 empty calories, no fiber, no protein and no carbs, minimal volume, almost zero satiety. Yet it has the same caloric amount as a large banana.

I don't think micro-nutrients are over-estimated, they are essential for well-being according to science. The body only needs them in small amounts, but they are essential.

I know we have been marketed for a very long time that oil is a health food, and it's a very hard thing to let go, but it's just not true.

The Mediterranean diet is healthy despite the olive oil and not because of it (due to the high amount of fruits and vegetables).
> The latest Android phones tend to have 6GB. A 32 times increase in a decade. Laptops have also leapt forwards in speed and memory. Sadly, no one on the Gmail team has noticed.

On the small scale it is good policing. But on the large scale it is also disturbingly similar to what East Germany (and other socialist/Stalinist states) did: you were constantly monitored, and the police who genuinely were your friend might visit individuals at risk (of being uncommunist) and help them back on the right path.

Something is systematisied, but it's not entirely clear what. And even if it's good now that doesn't stop it from being corrupted by someone in power later.

In most of the world the police could beat you to death with video evidence and they’d get away with it. Competent, professional more or less upright police are not the worldwide or historical norm. In most of the world the police are the biggest gang. Police in the US are the very model of probity, courtesy and professionalism compared to almost every country in the Western Hemisphere, never mind African, Arab or Asian police.

Part of the problem is that the documentation is so vast (the page you link is only one of many, many pages; the documentation has been split out into multiple pages for a while now) that as a user, it's fairly insane to try and consume and comprehend it all, especially if all you want to do is something quick.
I don't think it's clear that the options are either that we continue to progress exponentially or stagnate. Both of those seem like possibilities in the medium-term, but I wouldn't rule out the possibilities of decline (in the worst case) or cyclical re-development of the same ideas.

Technological discovery doesn't just happen in a vacuum. There needs to be a societal production of potential new inventors and scientists. Where their interests lie is to some extent influenced by the culture they grow up in, and which research interests will receive funding (or societal status) is also dependent on culture, etc. Worse, if a problem has been widely solved using a bad solution, there is no real desire for a good one.

Take electrical engineering and circuit design as an example. I would make the case that despite the immense and obvious success of computers, our society is in some significant way worse off than it was 50 years ago if you were to measure our collective ability to solve new problems using electrical engineering. Fewer and fewer electrical engineers are being educated, while the competency threshold of the field is rising. As that threshold rises, our education system shifts from teaching people to invent things to teaching them about practical skills like how to work all the menus in [some modeling tool], and how to generate report templates for MS Word.

Software is so new that we've barely exceeded a single human lifespan (hardly enough time for information to get lost is it?), but how many times have you seen companies with a code base that was written by some greybeard in the 80's, which is critical to the success of the company but nobody understands? When the company realised that, did they try to address the root of the problem, or did they decide to keep piling shit on top of what they already had?

It may be that software itself is the problem. Software allows you to snapshot your current problem solving capacity and continue delivering it long after the problem solvers themselves are gone. Maybe if we're lucky, the current generation of AI researchers will get us to something that approaches human level intelligence before these problems become intractable.

What makes you believe secularism leads to reduced social cohesion? Surely it eliminates a source of friction between religious groups?
>And if you use an accountant instead, what software does your accountant use, and does the publisher of that software claim rights to exploit your financial information?

As it turns out... our CPA sent out a cryptic email saying there “has been a hack”. Turns out the accounting software they use, that company had some malware and “they assure us” that no client data was accessed but the software will be offline for awhile until they figure out what happened, so they don’t really know.

It doesn’t matter how careful we are, or how carefully we select our CPA or how careful they are. I mean, if it were up to me I wouldn’t hire a CPA that used cloud network accounting software, but if I applied that rule everywhere we’d have offline XP machines.
Agree. It's one of the groups out there that makes my stomach turn.

The article doesn't get to the reason that it's doomed to fail. Software developers translate between what humans want and what computers can do. The second part — what computers can do — is a well understood domain that can be modeled beautifully, and tasks involving it can be automated trivially. The first part, what humans want, is a profoundly complex anti-inductive domain that every human in history has spent their whole lives trying to understand, failing to but scratch the surface. Tasks involving concepts in the domain of human desires can, too, be automated, but the technology needed to do so would be AI-complete. In other words, if we had a technology that could automate the work of software developers, the same technology, with relatively minor changes, could be applied to automate any human occupation, including those of the people who want to automate software development.

Until then, what we can do is build abstraction on top of abstraction over what computers can do. But that is code. There's a lot of room to make application development easier, to make it require less knowledge. In a lot of cases there's no good reason it isn't easier already. But it can't really become easy until the target stops moving; what computers can do changes too fast for people who want to build a good unified set of abstractions over it.
Industrial espionage is a thing most developed countries do, including the US.

In conventional 3D graphics each pixel is painted in 3D and a depth test applied. Here, 2D shapes are ordered discretely to create a 3D effect.

Instead of the per-pixel z-fighting you conventionally see in 3D graphics, here we see entire shapes cross each other. This method cannot correctly paint intersecting, or cyclically occluding shapes (without breaking them into smaller components). I think "pseudo" could refer to the lack of generality in the system's ability to render 3D geometry.
I remember in the late 90's when XML was hot stuff and there was of xsl and it's simpler cousin, xslt, and a capable mechanism for keeping everything "honest", the xml-schema. For whatever reasons, that never took off.

It was promising, but it was mired in over-engineered complexity, the w3c docs looked like a nightmarish "design by committee" mess. I believe the intention was never to actually have to see XML let alone write it by hand. Along with the jetpacks of the year 2000, we were promised magical CASE tools that would handle the details. That fizzled out. Instead XML just became a means for encoding configuration that people typed in by hand, sometimes aided by a crappy intellisense-guided schema. We all grew to hate it.

CSS was a great idea on the surface. Compact, not too complex looking: hook into elements by type, class or id, and style them as needed. But for many years it was a half-measure. Browsers behaved differently, and layout was counter-intuitive.

And THAT is what I just can't understand. We had models for how layout on user interfaces should work for many years on desktop applications. CSS just didn't care, it was poor for newspaper-like layout and poor for web-app layout.

CSS grid is such a refreshing step in the right direction, but why so long in coming?

I disagree with codeless software being doomed to fail.

I’ve built lots of applications without code (and teach others how @ https://www.makerpad.co/) one being a mini Netflix ‘clone', Airbnb ‘clone’ and Fiverr ‘clone’.

They may not be able to withstand Netflix level of users and usage but why should every startup/business have to aim for that. It could service hundreds/thousands of users and turnover great revenue for those running it.
(Edit: Re original title: "Only enterprise Chrome installs will have full ad-blocking")

Seems to be referring to this part of the text:

> Observation

> Chrome is deprecating the blocking capabilities of the webRequest API in Manifest V3, not the entire webRequest API (though blocking will still be available to enterprise deployments). Extensions with appropriate permissions can still observe network requests using the webRequest API. The webRequest API's ability to observe requests is foundational for extensions that modify their behavior based on the patterns they observe at runtime.

No idea if that's the API that adblockers use (or just a part of it)...

Ugh. I got on board in 1990, COBOL was still around and 4GLs too. Nowadays there are focused efforts to cater to 'citizen developers' with pared down scripts.

Reminds me of what people used to say about website builders such as dreamweaver, then about the "cloud", and more recently about "serverless".

Wix and squarespace are more than enough for many businesses' needs. AWS has blown through the roof. And more and more people discover what it feels like not to have to worry about hardware and VMs configuration.

ForestAdmin is also a nice case in point, supposing you have the proper stack.

Sure there will always some who need developers, and most "solutions" this far haven't been up to the task. But I definitely wouldn't bet that won't ever be more than enough for most people and use cases.

For this, extensibility (via integrations and proper established languages; definitely not some absurd and ill-conceived "very friendly script language") will be key

The problem is that police are being involved in the job of social workers. I guess it would be an acceptable and useful system if:

- Police had write-only access to the database.

- Police had no involvement in interventions.

- Anyone was able to fill out a form and get their data purged.

- Everyone in the database could easily discover it.

Basically, separate law enforcement and social work. And enforce strict data souvereignity.

The next problem is that it blurs the line between 'client' and 'suspect'.
Stupid question but how can they perform interventions when the data is de-identified? I could see how that would work on a community level but not on an individual level

Is it always a mental illness? I have to say that I hate the circumstances that lead people to suicide, and I don't think that I'd ever follow that course, but don't the reasons for suicide range from mental illness (eg depression) all the way to self determination (eg suffering from a terminal disease)?
I worked in this domain for a couple of years at one of the most innovative players (www.triggre.com). These platforms fulfill a really important role - they allow a far larger class of people to automate their own day-to-day work.

They compete with Excel, MS Access and possibly WordPress. They're never going to replace actual software development because once the problem domain gets complex enough the person behind the wheel needs pretty much all of the skills of a good software engineer. They're also pretty much all closed platforms so only an idiot would use them to build a product. So they're stuck in the small-scale automation hook.
Sure. I could also roll my own cryptography

> But really my point here is just: there's no point in the Go team engaging on this, because I literally can't think of a single thing Russ Cox could say to defuse this drama.

As others, I think the easiest thing Cox could say in response to these posts is: "Yeah, you're right. Go is open source but it's not community driven. There's a small, insular core team, we have full control over the language, we have a clear vision, we're going to follow that vision, and we think the results so far have justified this approach. We hope you choose to continue to use and, where appropriate, contribute to the project and the larger ecosystem."

Go is a very impressive project, and the core team does have very tight control over it, and (very plausibly) that tight control is responsible for the quality of the language. I don't think it necessarily needs to change; certainly not any time soon. Why not embrace it?

And I think, if he did that, it would end the drama in a heartbeat, because what's left to discuss?

As a science major you should be well acquainted with the dangers of anecdotal evidence. Making claims about cystic fibrosis on the basis of what is "beneficial for you" is bad science. Even with the qualifying your statement, you're implying causalities that you can't possibly justify.
I love this feature. It's made it easy several times for me to convince the creators of overly-long newsletters to shorten things. These are newsletters that I need to be subscribed to for work because they have things like important policy changes that affect me but they often balloon with press releases and excessive formatting.

As for the marketers that might pad things out so that an unsubscribe link isn't visible, the Report Spam action works pretty well for finding a hidden unsubscribe option, or blocking the sender if not.
