Does a "configuration language" specifically incorporate features for "overlaid" or "unified from parts" configuration?

Much like layered dockerfiles, mature configuration often comes from several places: env vars, configuration appropriate for checkin to git (no secrets), secrets configuration, and of course the old environment-specific configuration.

All of that merges to "The Configuration".

Also, these seem close to templating languages.

I've done this several times with a "stacked map" implementation (much like the JSP key lookups went through page / session / application scopes, or even more convoluted for Spring Webflow.

I'm not sure how this is relevant? Almost every product of every kind comes with a manual or instructions, which buyers are free to read or ignore, possibly with dangerous consequences for the latter. You can stick a metal pot in a microwave. You can pop open a pill bottle and swallow. That's just a fact of life in a free society.
Not original commenter but I think jackric already alluded to the increased cynicism that develops from clickbait. Personally, when I see so many ppl giving up honest and nuanced statements/opinions for hyperbole in order to gain views/likes, it's disappointing.

Closed streets and expanded outdoor dining is the best thing to come to SF during the pandemic, especially since the weather is mild enough that they can be utilized year-round. I really hope the city decides to extend them beyond December.
Are you seriously saying the President of the US didn’t wear a mask and had close personal contact with a lot of people during a pandemic, landing himself in hospital on experimental drugs?

I mean, he’s not one to either be careful or listen to expert advice, so it doesn’t really sound that out there.

The specification was called XDS and was developed by Sony to automatically set the clocks on their VCRs. PBS was a major participant but some other networks included XDS timecodes as well. Unfortunately late in the systems life reliability became poor (the encoder was not integrated with any of the other station equipment and was not being modernized) and I assume they all died out with the digital transition.

A better source today would be the time codes sent out by some FM radio stations with RDS encoders, to allow car radios to set their clocks. Unfortunately not that many radio stations do this and, once again, the time is not always all that reliable since the RDS encoder may not have any synchronization source itself.

The cellular network used to be an excellent source, CDMA cells required GPS time sync for TDMA reasons (well, CDMA reasons, technically speaking...) and broadcast a time code that is directly off of their GPS time source. Unfortunately, while GSM cells (and LTE) do broadcast the time, there is no guarantee made of precise synchronization as they don't broadcast a time code directly from their GPS source (not an expert in this field but I think the GSM/LTE time information comes from the possibly remote controller rather than the local radio hardware). Still, it would probably be good enough for this application.

GPS time sync is actually quite cheap to implement these days but tends not to work in these scenarios since a clear sky view is needed. WWVB is possibly on the way out. SNTP is probably ruled out less by the BOM cost of WiFi hardware and more by the deployment pain of having to get kitchen equipment configured for the corporate WiFi network.

Here's a fun idea: McDonalds presumably centrally controls the in-restaurant audio. Could they encode timestamps into the background music in a way that machines can cheaply recover? You wouldn't need high reliability, just enough for it to work once in a while. The old-ish Nielsen Peoplemeter system would be a model.
The point of labor laws is to force companies to conduct business in a way that doesn't infringe on the rights of employees. Making certain business practices financially unsound is the point.

Uber/Lyft have found a loophole that enables them to skirt by one of the "Riders Must Be At Least This Tall" measuring sticks, and the law basically says: No, you actually have to be this tall, sorry.

I don't see what the issue is.

Actually that book was one of my primary inspirations for pysdr. I told myself- what if I made something like this that was specific to wireless comms/SDR, but also just used numpy/scipy directly instead of attempting to create a python package out of it. Because if you jump to any random part of the book, it feels like the author is just trying to get you to use code from his repo (I realize the point of the books is to have you build the code up from scratch). But yeah it's a great book, especially for folks interested in doing audio or other non-RF stuff.
Initially, by paying them properly and respecting the work that they do. Down the track, still figuring it out but probably some kind of employee stock program combined with a mini-startup-incubator system for when employees come up with new product ideas and want more independence.

But simply not telling employees who've saved my bacon multiple times that they're expected to take a significant pay cut while working unlimited uncompensated overtime with unlimited uncompensated travel would be a good start. (The guy who took the devil's bargain I turned down worked 400 hours overtime in the first four months, I absolutely made the right choice.)
Or you know, just use a smaller RDS instance. The price difference is not 20x over an EC2 instance. It's been a while since I checked, but I remember the markup being less than 2x.

OK, fair, although even with the example public goods listed in that Wikipedia page their provision in reality still does end up supporting certain companies and harming others - e.g. if I'm in the business of selling air purifiers, government efforts to reduce air pollution are going to negatively impact my sales.
Apparently both the Lyft and Uber apps pressure drivers to "agree" with prop 22, or the popups keep popping up repeatedly? If you have a video showing otherwise, feel free to link below.

Lets set aside the legal question for the moment: Is that good user interface design, or is it more of a dark pattern? Do you like when apps do this?
It's Typescript for the immediate future. It's where the resources are (Microsoft, etc), it's where the type definitions are for the libraries you want to use (don't underestimate this one!), and it's where the developers and jobs are. For a lot of people it's a big enough step up over JS (while still being very familiar) that it's more than good enough.

Elm, Purescript, and Reason will likely all remain niche, or die off. Some developers will springboard from Typescript into these languages (but probably not Elm, sadly I think it's doomed, and not for being a bad language) but most people will I think be fairly content.

Perhaps something will come out of leftfield, but I can't see something like Rust-with-better-ergonomics taking that much mindshare from Typescript. A JS dev can start with Typescript today, in their existing codebase, and be productive either immediately, or within a few days. It's pretty hard to beat that, though I'm sure there will be niches for the various other compile-to-JS or compile-to-WASM options.
Yep it's an alternative, for those getting started. My book doesn't actually involve using/creating a python library, so it's more of a tutorial type of thing. GNU Radio is great if you are doing a streaming-style RF app. It's also great if you want to share your app or individual blocks with others. It's not as good if your app is more packetized than streaming, or if you need GUI elements that don't come with GNU Radio. But if the only GUI you need is time/freq plots or waterfall/spectrograms, and various inputs, GNU Radio will save you a lot of time.
SPIR-V by itself does not have the needed safety or interoperability properties for the web, or the advantages of text formats that the web has benefitted from. These are the more important factors, not IPR considerations.

Fortunately, we landed on a good compromise with a textual language that maps closely onto SPIR-V semantics. A lot of the hard work remaining is to achieve the level of safety and interoperability required for the web. Even in an approach of using SPIR-V as the syntax, a similar level of effort would have been required on safety and interop aspects.
Even if that was part of their origin story, it's a bit like saying a skyscraper was built by the person who broke ground at the site.
So you're saying you'd prefer if Prop 22 didn't have that rule in which case even 8/8 of the legislature couldn't change it. 7/8 is generous since it means law makers can actually overturn this prop. Something that can't be done for other props (eg. see prop 16 which exists to repeal a previous prop).

I'm not saying it's easy. There's a vast amount to know and master, and it will require a lot of practice building things to get the skills required. Not to mention study to get through the hiring hoops of algorithmic problems candidates are expected to solve at major companies during interviews.
I was never a fan of the first version of this app, despite being a mobile app developer and a photography nerd. I paid for and tried the initial version (Mark I?) a year or two ago, and, aside from a few manual settings and RAW capture it didn't do a whole lot beyond what the stock photo app did, and Halide's UI was a bit worse to boot. But whatever.

Now I re-download Halide (the version I paid for a year or two ago) to see what this new version is all about and I'm presented with a bewildering splash screen, prompting me to subscribe (for what now?) and I do everything I can to not subscribe, and then I'm taken to the permissions screen, and it's asking for camera permissions (totally reasonable), photo library access (ok, but let's hold on for a sec), and location access (no thank you), and I can't get anywhere in the app that I paid for, without granting all three permissions.

Having location access a hard requirement for a photo app is just ridiculous. What product owner made this decision? IMO it's completely out of touch and user hostile.

Edit: turns out the hard constraint was access to the photo library. Which, how was I to know that? The UI seemed to indicate that I couldn't proceed until all the boxes were checked.

Look, I get that this is a specialized app and I understand the complexity and nuance related to app permissions. Which means the app developer has to be super clear about what the requirements are from the start.
The few times I've eaten outside in the evening the last few months, I've noted how whichever companies that make those outdoor space heaters are probably experiencing a huge boom, as every restaurant capable sports a new or larger outdoor dining area, and even some that aren't capable get public sector help to make it so (e.g. in my city they closed the major downtown strip to auto traffic to allow outdoor dining areas to take up the entire sidewalk and some of the road).
They do pain research on people getting colonoscopies because it varies so much. A lot of people do find it unbearably painful. It's a relatively small fraction though.
Oh absolutely - but just because that's more illegal doesn't make this legal... it's just pure whataboutism.
They do rely on english & spanish translations to construct the dataset.

They have existing tools to jointly embed sentences from multiple languages (laser). These models are trained using parallel corpora involving either english or spanish on a translation task.

Using these models and the joint embeddings they produce, fb can mine the web for new pairs by roughly identifying whether two sentences in two different languages correspond to a translation pair.

Not quite true; some ISA are simpler to decode than other and/or have simpler semantics to implement (eg. not x87). I can pretty much guarantee that you could have gotten [slightly] better performance with an iSH-like approach targeting RISC-V or ARM64.

EDIT: added slightly. For all the OS calls which are 100% native, it wouldn’t matter.
It took me longer than it should to realise that you weren't referring to an Android version.
There's an explosion of people trying to get their software on your phone and application tricks scraping away information and control from the end user. Someone has got to filter the deluge of garbage, and people cling to Apple to do it.

Phones aren't simple enough that the end user can manage everything it does and the software world isn't well behaved enough that we can exist without gatekeepers.

I'm really confused by what Rust has to offer to frontend. A systems language, sure. Memory safety when no garbage collection, fine. But we do have a garbage collector in the browser. And are expecting to get it for webassembly too. And when I compare Rust code to typescript, I want to howl in agony and ask, why would we inflict on ourselves this punishment. At least I can see the elegance and the beauty of Purescript, although I can't write anything useful in it. But Rust is just so horrendous for frontend, where the existing languages are so much nicer!

What?? Most SaaS are absolutely not offering custom domains for free. What services are you looking at?
This is my take too - that said, I think this is a structural problem across low-wage jobs. I don't think driving for Uber is inherently worse than working for Walmart or Amazon.

There needs to be greater orientation around skill acquisition that helps drivers, package handlers, etc. move up the skill stack.

Somewhat tangentially related Apple said in their keynote that the iPhone Pro LIDAR will be used for autofocus in low light.

World with MHEV/HEV/PHEV is far better than the world only has ICE and EV. It's not possible to ship ten million EVs, and we're not enough rich to buy EV at this time. HV uses less battery cells than EV so they can ship many efficient cars with fewer cells.

That's a weird bit of deflection you've resorted to.
It would probably do so by advocating against the policy in the public forum where their employees weren't specifically targeted as the audience.

I think the meat of the issue is that Uber doesn't get to decide Prop-22, it's a decision by California and if you want to sway CA talk to CA. If you legitimately think your business and all it gives to the economy and community would be destroyed by that proposition then tell that to all the residents of the state - targeted messaging to your employees is just all sorts of shady and, whether intended or not, it will leverage the power imbalance of the employer/employee relationship for some people.

It's pretty much the same reason you should look elsewhere for love - there is an existing relationship between an employer and employee - bringing other relationships into the scenario just makes things murky.
I find the paternalism of AB5 to be a little bit problematic. It really assumes that the drivers are too stupid to do their own accounting and figure out if they are making money or not.

Pretty sure most drivers wouldn't be driving for $9.21 if a job at the local ice cream parlor could get them almost double on the spot. Yet you still see folks driving 30 hrs per week for years.

Going back to your minimization of support requests comment, if your mom is unable to delete a file (like when SIP is enabled) she won't make a superfluous support request as she was prevented from making the error. As computers continue to be used as appliances, we should expect similar controls over the device to be deployed to minimize the harm a user can cause. This in turn leads to loss of agency by the specialist.

Most people can understand the failure modes associated with microwaving metal and such (or if not, it can be a relatively cheap or expensive lesson). But that underscores the commoditization I was pointing at. The dangers of general computing devices can't be captured in simple aphorisms like "don't leave it on with a vessel that lacks contents" for a stove or "don't put metal inside" for a microwave. The warnings that accompany a computer would comprise encyclopedic volumes to encapsulate all the things that could go wrong, like "don't install software from someone you don't know on a computer through which you access your banking." There are so many instance like that it's unbelievable. Few other devices are so interconnected to so many aspects of our lives. The general nature simply lacks the guardrails and controls of a special-purpose appliance.

Put another way, can you imagine the reduction in request volume from your mother if she had a special device for reading the news, and another for banking, and another for shopping? This is the rationale. I don't agree with it but convenience seems to trump everything else.

There is a historical account of Google devs submitting improvements to Firefox which were delayed or not merged and that led to the desire to just create a new browser.
