Those devices don’t work like a nuclear bomb control does - that is adding resistance/controls to taking an action.

The appropriate analogy is more like a nuclear reactor. They require some system controls to stay functional and healthy (water temp increases in loop x, increase motor speed of pump y, if already at or exceeding speed z, set off an alarm).

These controls need constant monitoring in a control station somewhere, sometimes tuning or fixing if there is a bug or issue somewhere, etc.

A lot of the cost of a nuclear plant is trying to cover every possible scenario and being compliant with endless regulations for stuff like this (and everything else).

That most non-nuclear plants don’t want to deal with the hassle and expense shouldn’t surprise anyone. That non-nuclear plants often don’t even TRY to cover basic cases SHOULD dismay and surprise people. These issues have been well known and publicized for literally 30 years.

A reason safety guys in these industries have the saying ‘regulations are written in blood’ is often not because no one sees the danger. Rather, until the body count reaches a certain point, no one can justify the expense to require it be fixed.
Ivermectin and odds of hospitalization due to Covid-19: Mexico City Intervention
Rufus is just straight-up better, though? It's smaller, faster, more configurable, doesn't require installation, doesn't opt you in to analytics (wtf are they even analyzing?), and doesn't advertise the developer's other projects.

Even ignoring those last two, which just seem gross, running an entire web browser to accomplish the same thing as a 1MB native application is like using an anvil as a hammer. Yeah, it'll work, but why?
That's pretty interesting. Are you saying, in other words, that gRPC C++ suffered from the competence of the C++ stubby team, while gRPC Java benefited from the comparative neglect of Java stubby?

Hi there - I made a little game in React called Find the State. Goal is to find all the contiguous U.S. States on a map. Frontend and Backend code is open sourced.

Long story short - there was this iPad game I played like 5 years back that just had you find States on a map. I really liked it, but it was buggy and eventually stopped even being served on the app store.

While playing it, I found that my knowledge of where all the states were was really awful. I kinda just assumed I knew where all the states were. It was fun playing it a bunch and getting a lot better.

So I decided to make my own version that tried to keep everything really simple and that could be used as a kinda tool to workout your U.S. "geography" muscle.

This was my first time using Python. Previously used PHP -> Node -> Go. I went with FastAPI and I dug it. It's just really simple and I felt like I wrote a lot less code than usually in order to stand up this API. Def a fan.

For the frontend I went with React and TypeScript, which is what I use at work. This was my first time using Recoil - I really like that as well. I've always used Redux in the past, but I wanted to see if I could eliminate the "store" overhead. I was pretty happy with the result, although Recoil has its quirks as well.

Totally down to answer any question on the code or anything.

Can it be that there is background between these people that we don’t know and it is not reflective of the general attitude? I am not justifying rudeness, but I understand the human relations, online or offline can be complex. Also if alacrity is really technically good do we tolerate bad behavior by its developers? A bit like House wanted to be the best partially because he did not want to care too much about his behavior.
It doesn't have to address racism in any meaningful way to fulfill the function of being centered around identity. When that identity becomes meaningless, the culture around it will lose meaning as well.

> A well-functioning democracy, with a high level of participation and engagement, of subsidiarity, a free and diverse press?

A well-regulated democracy isn't a good thing inherently. People can be awful and oppressive and this is why founding fathers rejected the idea of a democracy for US. We needed to put a republic with heavy constraints on the power of the govt precisely for that reason.

A great example of well regulated democracy which is terrible is India, because its founding fathers failed to control the power an average voter has, in India you can file a Public Interest Litigation [1] to the courts and get cryptocurrencies banned (without going through the legislative body).

Compared that to say Lee Kuan Yew. Not free press (can't criticize Lee Kuan Yew, protest freely, or strike freely), but you'll see Singapore work way better than say India.

I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're buying a book online, it might be worth going to a local bookstore and checking out the other books on the same shelf. You might find a better book (by being able to skim it quickly), or you might come across another book about a hobby you've been wanting to learn more about along the way.

Visiting physical stores allows for "happy accidents" that wouldn't have occurred while shopping online. Targeted ads (or "customers who bought A also bought B") can help, but they seem tuned to maximize profits, not for inspiring new ideas.
You’ve hit the nail on the head here. The desirable parts of CA are located typically along the coast with geographies which don’t allow unlimited expansion (lots of hills/mountains and water). No matter how many houses we build, the desire to live here for the weather/amenities/economy will continue to outstrip supply. Plus, it’s not just housing which would need to expand, it’s transportation, water, etc. There are no easy answers but the solution is not simply “build more housing”.
I can't speak for "most" professors, since I haven't done any kind of scientific survey. However, I work in academia, and every professor I personally know hates Elsevier, and wants to get away from them in any reasonable way.

But when the journals that literally define their field are monopolized by Elsevier, there's only so much they can do for the time being. To avoid them, they'd have to accept their research being ignored, their careers stagnating, and their ability to continue to do their jobs properly being threatened.
It gets you maybe 1/3 of the way there in the sense you have a work product to compare to for your own efforts to figure out how-to. Falls apart a bit if you're trying to nail down chemistry or something like an IC production process though where the equipment itself is built by people who will neither talk nor possibly sell to you.

Look into the Soviet konkordski tire counter-intel effort. If I recall correctly, NATO found out the Soviets were trying to get their hands on the rubber formulation for the tires of the landing gear, and counterintelligence worked with manufacturers to leak the formula for the "worst rubber for the job ever". Keep trying to find where I stumbled on that, but it seems to be lost to the all seeing eye of the Internet now. Closest I get is references to Pavlov smuggling the plans for the landing gear assembly out of France.

Give me two copies of something that you don't want to tell me how to make, one for destructive analysis, and one to compare against as a finished product, and I can at least filter out some false starts from the get-go.

If apple are fored to allow other stores through its app store, then those stores and apps in them would have to adhere to the same app store guidlines. What I would like to see is a way to sideload alternative stores or ipa. They can make it as hard as to enabling this, instead of a simple switch for security and privcy purposes. So that we don't have to fiddle with the Altstore to install iTorrent, Emulators or Youtube++
Yup. Smithy is from a lineage of internal tools that have been in use at Amazon since the early 2000s. From my dive into software archaeology at Amazon (I work there), there was a bit of SOAP in use in the 2000s, and some other internal model formats that are now obsolete claimed to be SOAP like. As the years went on, other internal formats came out to replace other formats, until the internal model format became something distantly inspired by SOAP, but very practical and tuned for cross language code generation so it could power AWS (that’s my take at least). That was in use for well over a decade before we built Smithy to improve on and open source the internal format.

This is the reason why so many stick with Amazon. You gave them your data already and the only thing remaining are the dark patterns which wants to sell you prime but you probably have that already too so you don't have to wait 2 days.

Also: their computer/phone/tablet is on already.

I honestly buy a lot online because it is convenient. I let it send to my workplace and I don't have to go to the city wasting the few hours that I have left of my day.

There are things though I need to go out to shop. Cloths and food and I can't remember a single trip I enjoyed. I need to look in several shops before I find proper and fitting cloths (I'm tall). If sices would be a true standard I could rely on, this would be the next thing I'd do online. Groceries means shopping in supermarkets which are always too full and I need a parking spot since I got to take a car there because I'm doing it once a week only. I tried doing it through Amazon and it failed spectacularly. It never arrived but they only they told me at 9PM...it was Saturday and there are not many shops open at that time here in Germany.
That's really interesting, this thread is definitely telling me I am out of the loop anyway, as it seems that difference in understanding has even morphed over time. It doesn't surprise me at all though, there's still disputes about what "real" Bossa nova is to this day so that a genre as broad and eclectic as electronic music has a blurry cultural lexicon isn't all that shocking.

I agree regarding EDM being a bit of a misnomer, I had always thought it was a weird term to use for everything. Another specific sub-genre in electronic music is IDM, Intelligent Dance Music, which occasionally doesn't even have a stable time signature, so it's not alone in that!
I often see GitHub projects, maybe from people who are not native English speakers, with bad grammar in the Readme.md . Is it OK to create an issue pointing out spelling and grammar errors and suggesting fixes? Resolving such an issue will not improve the code but can make the project more accessible.
Based on the definitions I've been able to find, it would seem browsers are animals that mostly eat by browsing, and grazers are animals that mostly eat by grazing, but a browser can graze and a grazer can browse.

The goats in these problems are confined to fields of grass and that is all they can eat, so it seems they are in fact grazing goats (and probably unhappy goats since they would much rather be browsing).

Android allows side loading and there are at least 10 3rd party app stores. And yet the Google Play store is the main player. So there's zero evidence that allowing side loading would turn the iOS App Store (top store) into the Mac App store (barely used)

Is this a joke?

Anyways, the entitlement Uber had was one thing, it'd be another if they had passed approval while using the entitlement. Afaik it was used for an Apple Watch demo. No one ever found evidence of its use in the main app.

It wasn't an entitlement for recording a screen, it was an entitlement for low level graphics access that could then be abused to do so.

Had they actually used the entitlement to record screens it'd be one thing, and I take exception with unfair treatment of devs like this, but please. Actually implying Apple has taken 100x the steps of their nearest competitor to maintain privacy on the most used computing devices...
Another post flagged. Is anyone else getting sick of the abuse of the flagging system?
I’d be happy to support local merchants, but they have to get the overall value proposition somewhat competitive. For the most part, they aren’t. Maybe it’s pricing, selection, policies, hours of operation, or some combination, but other than grocers and large chains, I’m not even sure they’re trying.

Amazon is winning by serving the customers. Local shops will continue to have a hard time if the primary value prop is “we’re more expensive and not as good, but we’re your neighbor, so you owe us!”

I try every so often to use a local shop. Maybe I need a common appliance, lawn mower, or small engine part. If they have it on-hand, I’ll pay 5x the online price to get the job done today. I can only recall one time where that worked. “We can get it for you” only to find out that means a week and 4x the online price. “No thanks; I don’t want to be a bother...” <tap, tap, wait 2-3 days, done>

Our dishwasher door broke last Thursday; I fixed it in 30 minutes that Saturday afternoon with a $30 part I ordered on Thursday. Don’t even know how long it would take to setup a $150-200 repair appointment.

IIRC (and IANAL), the USA’s free speech thing is about preventing the government from limiting it (except they do limit it anyway), and never prevented private companies from limiting it on their own turf.

I do feel that super-massive companies need similar restrictions on what they can do as governments, and for similar reasons, but that’s for the future not for the present.

"that’s what we do — we tell people whether their item is fake or authentic. Not authentication as in login authentication"

Should've made it clearer - a mistake on my part.

So you know how there are fakes of Rolex, Nike, Louis Vuitton etc — some are scarily close. We make guides on how to tell the fake from the real item, with the best fakes.

We teach people (for free)

But we also have a service, if they want us to check it for them
This is effectively printing MDF, which is very different from what most people consider "wood". The novelty is in using binders with fusion jet printing instead of pre-bound FDM filament as has been available for some time. It's an interesting alternative to traditional powders used with fusion jet printing. Personally, I'd much rather CNC real wood to maintain the fiber structure of something like a propeller, but this is nice for aesthetic pieces.
This is great, very impressive that they've had such success with a scrappy 2-person business.

The hard part of success like this often seems to be finding an under-served niche where you have, or can easily gain, some expertise. If anyone knows of a guide or has advice for how to solve that problem, I'd love to hear it.
Seems to be more of an issue with your situation than in general. I've never had to sync up with the mailman, they just drop the package downstairs in my building (I live in a city). Same with UPS, FedEx and so on although sometimes those need to redeliver the next day. I go to amazon, order the item and then pick it up next time I'm downstairs. So much faster than checking the weather in an app, putting on appropriate outdoor clothes, going to a store, browsing their aisles for where they dumped the thing, waiting in line to checkout and so on. It's the difference between 2 minutes and 30 minutes of my time.

It's not nonsense, but it dates from an earlier era and we may not want to continue in the tradition. In the past, professors who wanted to preserve a report of their work sent drafts off to publishers who reviewed, edited, typeset, printed and distributed. There are still plenty of people in this chain who do the work and aren't paid by the government. They get their paychecks from the subscription revenues to the journals. These are still, usually, paid indirectly by the government from the so-called "overhead" charged on grants. You can think of this system as "reader pays".

As more professors developed the ability to typeset their own work with LaTeX and email/ftp/http, the costs of the old system have started to become more difficult to sustain. Some researchers do the typesetting themselves but the richer ones hire their own production team to produce better LaTeX reports. You can think of this model as "writer pays." Either with time or money.

I think both sides have strong points. The old system is expensive and slow, but it does produce a very well-curated record of what happened. The new system is generally cheaper, but only because the researchers handle much more of the workload. I also worry that research will disappear when people retire or move on. A professor's web page may be really convenient, but they tend to disappear or die from bitrot after time. I also think the "writer pays" model tends to encourage over-producing some basic research notes that might not be ready to publish yet.
