There is an easy workaround developed by the Switch homebrew community, simply upgrade from within a custom firmware (such as Atmosphere-NX) and run a tool called ChoiDuJourNX which bypasses the fuse-burning.

If you're careful you can keep a backup trail going all the way back to your original device firmware and restore/downgrade it using the Hekate system tool. It has already been pointed out that there isn't much reason to do this, AFAIK the main reason people either held out on older firmwares or kept up a backup trail to them was in order to take advantage of possible firmware-version-specific exploits, the gold standard being a coldboot exploit.
Someone please help me understand how a small 2 person newsletter run out of a home in the suburbs was able to provoke high ranking and educated (one is a Columbia Law School JD) tech executives into seeing absolute red to the point of commiting brazen and shockingly criminal black-ops style missions that seem more reasonably explained by having psychosis or mental illness than taking your job too seriously.

Did they simply think they wouldn't get caught, blinded by their privilege and ability to get basically anything they want in life with little consequence given their wealth and status/power ?

I just re-read the letter of Apple, and it explicitly states itself: "Another Adobe claim is that Apple devices cannot play Flash games. This is true. Fortunately, there are over 50,000 games and entertainment titles on the App Store, and many of them are free. There are more games and entertainment titles available for iPhone, iPod and iPad than for any other platform in the world."

It's quite easy to automate that outcome.
They can waste a couple of minutes wondering that. Then they can get on with reading the document in the form in which it’s available or creating a document in the form mandated by the publisher or editor.

Dos and Don’ts of Creating a Positive Work Culture – Built In
This immediately reminded me a very old book by Bob Shaw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Zero_Man

The tech in the book was no less fictitious but sounded kinda cool: a neutron resonator, with a beam being targeted on the Moon and being reflected to the Earth, widening sufficiently to cover the whole planet (no idea how or why it would affect warheads on the other side).
And there’s also some “inherent” value in spending less time traveling that is more difficult to quantify.

harvard has the right to implement its own standards, to be sure.

but who is implementing this, exactly, and on what agenda?

it's "harvard" the institution, the non-profit business.

instead of having a clear motive: making money, we have to guess what "diverse and successful" means.

does a powerful institution in our society owe us an explanation for this? maybe not.
Isn't that a given when you're disrupting the industry itself? Of course not every idea is good.

Finally you've got to the point, that braille whitespace is not classified as a whitespace (which on checking is true). Why didn't you say that at the start.
Air, rolling and other mechanical resistances are certainly part of the equation here, but the major driver of the decreased range at higher speeds is likely battery chemistry.

When you apply a load to a cell, the voltage sags. Heavier load, bigger sag. When a battery is operated at low voltage, it loses efficiency - the total power available decreases significantly. If you ever buy batteries for, say, building your own EV, you’ll pay a lot of attention to the C values - C1 is the capacity of the cell if it is discharged in 1 hour, C100 is the capacity at 100 hours, etc. - and there is a big difference between these values - it’s non-linear, and while the difference between C100 and C10 might be a 30% loss of available power, between C1 and C10 you’re closer to 50% - a 65% loss overall between C100 and C1.

Obviously in an EV C2-C10 are probably your most relevant numbers - but the difference in available power is significant over that range, and if you’re driving harder, putting more load on the battery, your range will be lower.
That's absurd. If a baker sells bread to a democrat politician it means he supports the Democratic party?
I don't think you would need to know ins and outs of Turbolinks to leverage it in your app. It's a simple drop-in library which replaces `body` inner HTML instead of a full refresh in case of page navigation.

Its actual aim is to provide SPA like experience without modern JS complexity which is ideal for solo devs/small teams.

Also, it is worth noting that they are using Stimulusjs framework with Turbolinks.
Except when management finally wises up and realizes the product has no future... neither do you.

Much better to look around and find the product/project that is actually going to spawn revenue for the company and get on that team. When layoffs come, you've a much better chance of weathering the storm.*

> It begs the question of if colleges should be selecting for general Intelligence over hard works.

Colleges should be building a model to determine who will derive the highest value from their education. Good inputs to this model include test scores measuring general scholastic abilities, actual performance during high school, notable achievements outside school, and the general background in which they made these accomplishments.

AKA, a lot like they're doing now. I don't think the testing portion of it should be eliminated.
I would either print it or read it on a monitor in upright (portrait) configuration. MuPDF works fine for me. I like the vi-like controls.
This also applies to predicting the return address. You can assume any form of control flow has branch prediction. A surprising amount of silicon ends up being worth the cost if it can improve prediction just a little bit because a pipeline stall is so astronomically expensive.
Oracle (i.e. Java) & "reasonable cost" is a surprising pairing.
The Linux kernel, glibc, V8 and nodejs are some of the most vetted software existing. Of course I trust them. If my business partner has security breach it's possible to sue them.

That is different than adding 1000 barely looked at dependencies to my JavaScript project. Every addition is another chance for an undetected security vulnerability. "It's really not that bad" is probably what Equifax thought before the magnitude of what happened was revealed.
Why abandoned domain names are so dangerous
Yes. I understand this is the assumption but why is this the assumption? I can imagine poor kids doing just as well if not better without artificial barriers to entry like the SAT and GRE. For some reason everyone is assuming these tests are "good" and "meritocratic" but I don't see it. Everyone seems to assume there need to be tests and no one is wondering what happens when there are no tests.

I suspect no one is wondering because without tests people have to face some harsh truths about economic and social class structures that most people in the US like to pretend do not exist. If these tests were about meritocracy then they would be enforced without exceptions and rich kids wouldn't be able to buy their way into their favorite schools like they do now after their parents make a generous donation. The existence of the test does not matter if you're rich enough so the argument about meritocracy rings hollow.
The line of were AI starts is not well-defined. If you think about it, virtually all software can be considered AI if you put expectations low enough. From the other end, one could argue that once you understand the inner workings of a piece of AI, it just becomes a fancy algorithm to you. In the end, everything is just a piece of software converting input to output.

My experience is that people tend to consider things AI whenever it feels like "magic" to them, at least in non-technical circles.
I read and annotate in Emacs mostly, using pdftools + org-noter.

Specifically org-noter can synchronize its buffers with the pdf you’re reading. It’ll also create a skeleton from an outline, if available in the PDF, and even extract highlights and notes in for you. It’s really quite useful tool.

On iOS I read and annotate using PSPDFKit’s PDF viewer, which is incredibly featurefull in the free version, but even more so with subscription (too expensive IMHO).

One nice feature it has, for readers of Hebrew and Arabic, is flipping the edge to right or left. Also editing meta data etc.

In respect to your question, also keeping position in file, bookmarks etc and it uses iOS’s file picker, so you can store your PDFs anywhere accessible (for me on Nextbloud WebDAV share).
Kind of interesting when I was thinking about neutrinos was thinking about communication that can go through the Earth but this article is talking about hitting a target to affect the plutonium hmm.
Of course you can!!

Even in something not very well defined as a neural network, you can try to retrain it, or also to modify its architecture, or its postprocessing, and verify reproductibly on test cases that it behaves better.

Also, to address your critics, you can add test cases (just like in any sotware. But actually they also do exactly that for hardware too).
I'm a long time Rails guy. Sadly at any sufficient size of an application, I end up disabling Turbolinks.

Every time, I want it to work but you as you mentioned there's a few gotchas here and there that catch me unaware that cause me to shy away.

In the rails JS camp though is StimulusJS. I swear by this for developers that want a bit of JS sugar but don't need the full suite of Vue or React.
String is a very common but specific word in programming for a string of characters.

Show is a very common but generic word in programming, for showing plots, showing message boxes, showing anything really. Not knowing Haskell I would not have expected it to convert an object to a string.

An On-Point Guide to Nailing Your Startup’s Content Writing Strategy
Many of us have been there. I think what struck me was how low the treshold really is for what's accepted as "AI" in most industries.

Do this:

1. make something that has some "modern" AI such as deep learning in it, but that doesn't do anything much useful (because that's almost impossible in most cases). E.g. predict something trivial based on a time series, and repoort it. We all know how hard this is, so just take some hello world ML project and change some inputs.

2. Find some easy project that actually makes business sense, and that isn't yet done, and can be done with simple logic or some old school "traditional" ML or constraint solving e.g. a scheduling/optimization problem.

3. Make sure these efforts are "merged" so that the fancy AI tech AND the measurable good outcome is the same project. The "AI" moonshot of the company.

4. You can now say you are doing "AI", you have measurable success.
My true nature won her heart
I've actually used materialized views in production on SQL Server, and they're great when they work, but they have far too many limitations. Most of these make sense, but some of the join limitations are internal constraints of the engine, not a fundamental limit. This prevents their use for a wide range of scenarios where they would be useful...

It truly is fascinating, the world of tools and ecosystems built up to sidestep inane security rules in organizations.

Spoken from experience, this includes things like Anaconda in orgs where devs can’t use just any Python packages, or scripts from the internet copied and pasted into files because the firewall blocks git cloning. One could even consider AWS as a platform for devs to get around InfoSec red tape and have some semblance of control. The goal as a dev here is to fight the fewest fights to make tools available, by getting access to the biggest “bundles” of tooling they can.

In such organizations, there is either no concept of cost/benefit of overly restrictive firewall rules, etc, or the culture is such that the security team has become entrenched and unquestionable.
> People imagine tech unions will just be a rehash of Industrial Era blue collar unions, but they have the potential to be something more- a way for the rank and file to finally have the clout to push back against bad engineering decisions from poor leadership.

Let's say Wertz Car Rental IPOs tomorrow. Why would you go out of your way to buy something you know nothing about, instead of just ignoring it?

Answer: because you bought a broad market index and didn't expect the standards to retroactively drop and let it get stuffed with junk. This is how the economic crash of 2008 happened.
the best performers at school often become career academics -- a few research discoveries aside, you could say this is a pretty low-leverage position.

In other words, as you said, doing well in school means little outside of school.

So if you really wanted to come full circle on it, you could say it's actually good that people who aren't able to game a system, end up staying outside of that system.

This article makes me feel very fortunate to work the way we do in my company. We have tight feedback loops with our users, we plan work together as a team (not just a PM dictating things), we're not forced to give finger-in-the-air estimates (we work on stuff until it's good enough to ship and then ship it) and we follow up with analytics and user interviews to figure out if we achieved the outcome we were after. We rinse and we repeat.
> If every restaurant is discriminating, the singular restuarant that serves the less wealthy group would have plenty of business, simply due to the lack of competition.

Depends on how spread out the population is - black folk, maybe (but I don't have a simulation on me to work it out for sure and in what situations that theory might collapse), the subset of trans folk who're still working out how to blend in and not be seen as such in a rural area, not so much.

There's entire countries where some products are just not available commercially due to the lower income meaning nobody wants to put in the effort to work out how to provide them cost-effectively.

A true gem from the "comments on the last episode":

> The compile times we see for TiKV aren't so terrible, and are comparable to C++

So if you're already used to the terrible compile times of C++, the compile times of Rust won't seem that bad in comparison. And Mozilla, where Rust started, mostly relies on C++. That does explain a lot...
I'm unclear on how these hardware fuses actually work. Are they actual fuses that can be burnt on will by excessive power?

When the article says:

> The boot loader verifies a specific fuse, FUSE_RESERVED_ODM7, to prevent downgrading. Each software version expects a different number of fuses to be blown [...]

Does this mean FUSE_RESERVED_ODM7 actually contains multiple fuses?
Unless I’m missing something this is jumping the gun slightly. It looks like an empty document template with a few placeholder titles. It doesn’t actually contain any design rule information.
I had a moment like that once where the product manager said something like "at this stage of the process the software will go off and find the documents specifically relevant to this stage" - and I was like pointing out we could do a search but that might bring back irrelevant stuff or fail to find relevant stuff - he insisted that it would automatically find just the exact documents people would need at that stage in the process.

It was an "AI complete" feature as up to that point it required someone who knew what they were doing to decide what documents were actually relevant - not "close enough".
Well I mostly agree this should be the first steps in building an app.

But there are a lot of areas where interaction with JS shines over form posts.

For example a form where a choice determines the next steps in the form.

This could be done with simple form posts but then you loose your scroll position or at least it will jump because anchors are not at the same position as your scroll position.

I believe JS is overused and most of the time Single Page applications could be Multiple Page applications with JS where it is needed.
That's not really how it worked. You got free data on facebook, but you couldn't follow the links on free data. It's why misleading headlines were causing a big misinformation problem.

Why would you make an http request if you can just google a 3-line JS solution? You're just generating a large random number and formatting it as a UUID.

https://gist.github.com/jed/982883

If you google "generate uuid javascript" you can find approaches from Math.random to node/browser `crypto` module to shelling out OS random.

One of the main benefits of guid generation is that you don't need to synchronize with anything to generate a unique ID, so it's weird to incur an http request, especially to someone else's service. At that point you might as well just phone home to your own service.

Java licencing is manageable compared to the cost of developing a human resurrection technology in 2100 to bring back to life developers of by then long-forgotten technologies, which were hip in 2020. I bet Java will still be doing fine in 2100. Furthermore, the support of a behemoth such as Oracle is very reassuring for large businesses, which know that they won't be left alone with their tech stack. Can the same thing be said about Python or Scala?
