I have always wondered what would happen if one day Apple goes a bit too far and forces an influential company to pull their service from iOS devices. What would happen if, let's say, Facebook blocked iOS devices from using Instagram? Or if Google did the same thing with Search and YouTube?

Does any other company have a way to push back if Apple gets too drunk on their own power in the future? Or is the Apple user satisfaction so high that nothing can make people ditch their iPhones?

A serious question from someone who knows little about electric cars, and who still thought it would take anywhere between 30-240 minutes to charge, depending on charger type - can electric cars really now charge faster than the < 180 seconds I'd spend refilling with petrol/diesel?

If so, I think the industry needs to make more noise about this, to make it more know.
Among other stuff, it contributed to my BPD, of which I've been 75% cured (but I did have some 6 years of psychotherapy).

I'm still unlearning the harsh/punitive internal voice, still dealing with people pushing my guilt buttons.

It might sound hypocritical, but I'd trade all the material help my parents gave for the freedom to be ME.
Well, a fork is a dime a dozen. Any random zealot can do it to "show them".

A fork that is actually maintened and creates a new community or absorbs the old one, is what's actually useful.

Though, if the intent is to just release a version without telemetry, that should be easy to maintain.
One the most useful things (for me) about kubectl - is moving to k9s cli UI for k8s. Makes daily debugging so much easier.
Correct. And they are now lobbying aggressively for the ringfence to be removed again (their investment bank is not regarded as economically sustainable as an independent operation).

There was a suggestion[1] (by me) to coordinate more between various hardware design/programming tools to agree on the common intermediate representation. Sadly, nothing came out of it yet.

The problem described is further reinforced by our monetary policy. Devaluing money through inflationary policies encourages spending or 'investment' in equities to preserve buying power.

Deflationary policies encourage saving currency which creates a higher bar for investments and spending. It is deeply unpopular at the moment, but I believe deflationary monetary policy as the only meaningful solution to our current climate crisis.

I, for one, wouldn't bother searching for a technology that I've never heard of if it were listed as a requirement for a job posting. I would just move on to the next posting.

There are too many jobs that I am qualified for to bother taking time for a deep dive on a job that I'm not qualified for.
Sure, I'm not a total purist about it. What's important to me is maintaining the logical progression of a change, even if it includes some dead ends, non starters, or mistakes.

If you want to amend commits for a typo, code style fix, or otherwise inconsequential change that doesn't add any useful context for future developers, by all means go for it.

Cool site. Personally, when I am coding, I can't really have noise of any kind else I will be distracted and/or irritated. I know some people who always need light music in the background while they are coding. Just never really worked for me.
Yeah, but where is the world's factory? Where was your shiny phone, or your kid's Nerf gun (or whatever plastic toy they have), made?
I agree about the West's hypocrisy, but per-capita emissions is a red herring. Regardless of how many people live there, the Chinese government controls the most polluting economy in the history of civilization. The CCP is thus in the position to help more than any other entity in the world right now.

I really hope people start saying "reversible heat pump". Having the term "electric heat pump" not meaning the heat pump that runs on electricity and cools your house hurts my brain.
It's more about general trends for solo devs. Are we all going to be forced to go down the AWS route in the long-run?
My point was more that the idea of applying control theory is an improvement over doing what amounts to bang-bang control without really thinking about it.

Not that PID is better, not that bang-bang is better, just that.. learning from control theory is likely a fruitful direction to go in.

Most autos along algorithms have heuristically hacked hysteresis built in to stop them oscillating between provisioning a node, dropping a node, provisioning, dropping. That kind of threshold tuning stuff is ripe for replacement with something more rigorous. PID control is an example of a rigorous way to solve that in continuous control. It likely doesn’t directly work for capacity, but control theory in general does have better answers for this kind of thing than just PID.

I got Pfizer, I am 47, and severe palpitations for 3 days after the first shot, and non-stop after the second one - for two months already. I am sorry I got the shot as I have low exposure and always wear an N95 mask anyway.
I'm not at all in favor of the "code laundering" (which is a brilliant term, thank you). But I don't understand how you expect a new license to help.

1. A license applied to source code is effective because of your copyright

2. The claim of Copilot's maintainers is that it bypasses copyright

Therefore, they will assert that they can ignore the new license saying "you may not launder my code" just as surely as they can ignore the previous license.
That sounds like a very sensible approach.
You've inspired me... here is what GPT-3 has to say about Infinidash (prompt (including first newline) in italics, first take):

Ouch. Look at my link and you will see I am engaged enough in hacker news. In fact writing on HN displaces better writing I could do on a blog, people who read enough will find out about all my schemes even if they don’t believe what they read.

Batteries should see drastic declines as well. $300 is already considered a steep price even though it is the all-in price. We are talking about $50 at the cell level for LFP chemistry soon.

That may be for the best; I assume they are controversial. If they are rational, that controversy would frustrate; if they're unfounded, their exposure to credible pushback would perhaps leave you with an identity crisis. That said, keeping them bottled up may be similarly undesirable; when driven by principles not subject to community scrutiny, an individual is likelier to act in socially (even morally) unacceptable ways, perhaps in a moment of opportunity or crisis.

Something to think - maybe, talk - about.
Woah this is cool! What you did with the setup documentation and the bit about automation was a nice touch, I wish more projects had this attention to the detail. Very simple, useful and elegant. Thanks for sharing this with us, Vincent!

> transfer my coins to another address, and then use my original, "trusted" address to validate a chain of blocks

Any new entrant would be able to clearly see the transaction on one of the chains and from that can determine that the chain not containing that transaction but instead using that output to mint blocks is the cheating block chain. Your attack wouldn't work.
It's not shockingly bad to call len(arr) each time through the loop. It would be if we were talking about something like strlen() in C, but in Python it's just one more constant-time† operation each time through the loop, and not a very expensive one at that. Caching it in a local variable would still be better.

______

† Nothing is really constant-time in CPython, but it's pretty close.
Well they have Telemetry enabled by default so you should disable it:

There are torrents of leaked Windows source code. Someone with access to Microsoft Copilot could try to see if reproduces the code there.
I don't understand the pettiness around this issue.

Audacity needed a maintainer to help with support and development. Developer, who has a pretty active YouTube channel covering design in music software, takes interest and leads the project. Said developer adds telemetry to help make more informed decisions. People lose their collective minds.

Can someone fill me in on what this person could have done better? Honestly, it seems like pearl-clutching from a select group of users who never gave a shit in the first place and just want to whine about something they never contributed to and get to use for free.
I would argue yes and no (for the split). They created two separate legal structures under Barclays PLC, since they had to (https://home.barclays/who-we-are/ring-fencing-explained/) but as a consumer would you notice? The branding remains the same and the consumer probably doesn't notice when interacting with Barclays.

Can't comment on the investment bank situation, but I know they went through a few CEOs a few years back :)
Because I have a hard time imagining myself in the conference room where they're like, wow, our boots are great, but who here knows how to lace them up? Nobody? Ok, then let's pay these randos some licensing fees. Alice from legal, can you start contractual negotiations for how much money, or percentage of our boot sales, we're going to pay randos. Bob from manufacturing, can you start investigating how we're going to retool our boot line to fold in this new technology? I'm sure there are a bazillion other logistical moving parts that I can't even imagine

For laces.

I'll also point out, without one shred of irony, that the reason I bought those 32 brand boots is for their innovative boot lacing system (Boa). Maybe they licensed that, too

Should your bank prevent you from spending that pound if the transaction is for something illicit? If your bank knows you've stolen that pound being used to purchase a legal good/service, should they allow you to spend it?

On Error Resume Next got me better grades.

Circa 1998 ish I had to take a "Software Engineering" course in college. We had to use Visual Basic for our silly application, and only one of the 6 people in the group had any experience with VB at all.

The project grading rules dictated that each program crash (which typically was some modal dialog with a system error and an OK button) during final demo was an entire letter-grade reduction (!!).

Enter On Error Resume Next. No crashes, just keep going! Software doesn't exactly work properly/to specs? Whatever, that "costs less" points than crashing =)
In fact, it could be anything.

CFS sure.

Also...a vitamin B12 deficiency, a spectrum of autoimmune diseases, alcohol withdrawal, generalized anxiety disorder, lime disease, post treatment lime disease syndrome, various nerve disorders, early onset of MS (which is of course an autoimmune disease), stress, emotional trauma, an undetected previous stroke, post traumatic stress disorder, burnout...

..and a serious bout of COVID with say hospitalization might be the tipping point for many of the above conditions.

How long are you going to keep wearing the mask after everybody else stops, though?
The answer is it doesn't :-)
You're sidestepping the metaphor.

The point is that you and I may not be mentally equipped to observe reality in a way that shows underlying purpose.

There's the assumption that the thing yields its purpose when inspected.

Consider a screw driver. If you and I see it but lack the knowledge of context into which it was created (driving screws) we would say it is obviouslymechanical, obviously designed and manufactured. A screw driver (or other mechanical apparati) don'thappen by accident. But no amount of inspection, theorizing, or philosophical discourse would yield its purpose or its use cases to us.

We assume, by looking at the universe, that it (the thing) will yield to us purpose or reason for being. We can't get that information about the universe from the universe. We need to step back and consider "where did the universe come from". The context of origin may yield the purpose of the thing.
A lazy answer if so, and a disappointing take on organizing society if that’s considered acceptable.
Given your rather patronising replies, I suspect the original joke was lost on you. The issue is not Agile per se, it is organisations assuming that "Agile" will solve all their problems, where "Agile" usually means vendor products, forced rituals and tick boxes. Yet more Agile evangelism does not address this problem.

What organisations need more than anything is open minded individuals that are not slaves to established dogma. The Agile manifesto actually says that all methods should be constantly re-evaluated to see if they fit the particular organisation/team. Your empirical "evidence" likely comes with a lot of context and is unlikely to be applicable to all organisations and/or domains.
So far the most WTF thing I've gotten out of it is:

import base64
test = base64.b64decode("""SSdtIGtpbGxpbmcgeW91ciBicmFpbiBsaWtlIGEgcG9pc29ub3VzIG11c2hyb29t""".encode())
print(test)
# b"I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom"

And the most odd thing:

# The base URL for all API requests
base_url = 'https://api.gdax.com/'
# The base URL for all non-API requests (e.g. static content)
base_url_static = 'https://static.gdax.com/'

Which are URLs that haven't been a thing for 2 years, I think and I can't find any code in github that uses them still.
>Thus the semiconductor market in 2021 is a fully baked cake. You can’t just swap some ingredients out in response to a one-off military invasion, and then keep trucking along. No, we’ll have to bake a whole new cake if TSMC goes bye-bye. And that will be painful for everyone, everywhere.

Well, tell that to the economists that praised "competitive advantage" out-sourcing of everything:

"Smith outlines the basic theory behind comparative advantage; that it makes more sense to manufacture a good which you have the necessary expertise and materials to produce than to inefficiently allocate your resources to the production of a good that some other country can produce for less overall cost."

Yeah, until that other country becomes an enemy, or a monopoly, or has you by the balls - or another country snaps it or cozies up with it...

But, yeah, who would have though that would ever happen in the "end of history" era.

> you're describing a very particular implementation of PoS.

It's silly to say PoS doesn't work when what you really mean is that some badly designed PoS systems don't work. Slashing is a solution to a problem. It's honestly irrelevant if some PoS systems don't do slashing.
Wow, I haven’t checked this out since the Com Truise release. Good to see it’s still going.
Ok, then that's enough for me to say: So far as we can reasonably tell right now, no, we do not live in a simulation.
You probably want something slightly different. Fast-slow is one dimension, but pretty strong cognitive psychology research points at complexity (or even cognitive load more precisely, like new genres and off-tempo music). You can mix the two, but you can try fast, complex and new music for coding and see how it goes. It's easy in video games, since games have all the context and 'music too annoying for the fight' gets picked up quite easily in testing, even if someone happens to not know science behind it.

Check out graph on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerkes%E2%80%93Dodson_law What you would ideally have is a music adapting to changes in your cognitive load - which can be modeled surprisingly easily with even the weakest biofeedback tools, like some smart bands. You know, how you sometimes have to turn off the radio when looking for something while driving, or how stuff is so easy it gets boring to the point where you can't work? Yeah, that's Yerkes-Dodson.

I bounced off that idea when trying to figure out reasonably popular band brand (because they are not trying to help you develop for that hardware) - if someone has any experience with those and likes the idea, absolutely hit me up.
Quake's square root function wasn't the only, or the largest, example of code Copilot reproduces verbatim. Among others I've seen to date is someone generating a real "About" page with PII information of some random software developer.

How much code is enough to infringe is a tricky question, though. It's not only a function of size, but also of importance/uniqueness - and we know that Copilot doesn't understand these concepts.
QR code to s3 bucket is basically free.
I think if you read the comments in the link, it's pretty clear: changes regarding personal information were dumped on the community along with a bunch of legalese without warning, an announcement, or context. Had the new maintainers given the community a heads up via a simple blog post explaining the reasoning behind this, we wouldn't be where we are. Hopefully they can chalk this off as a learning experience and move forward to gain trust of the community.
One of the things I think is special about NYC is the degree to which its physical places have become a part of the wider American culture.

From Central Park to the 59th Street Bridge to the Empire State Building to Macy's, I probably knew more places in New York when I first moved there than I could name in my own home-town. Part of that is the relative sizes, but New York has a cultural footprint beyond other large cities like Chicago or LA.
I think it is better to not _decide_ which one to learn. They both have their perks and quirks. If you can, I’d recommend to dip your toes on both. For network services, Go feels super nice because of the high quality libraries in its ecosystem. I feel like it is better Java.

Rust on the hand, feels like a better C++... with a steep learning curve, and useful when you can/need to get something correct/efficient/safe at the cost of increased developer time and cognitive load.

They both have their place IMHO.

Please note that they were using a version of Chisel from 5+ years ago and many things have changed since then.
It is still true though that Chisel can be hard to learn for typical hardware engineers, which is why it may be best suited for small and highly dedicated teams rather then large hardware companies.

[EDIT] Here is a talk from a solo-developer using the latest version of Chisel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wst8IoYRWKo
“Climate change is actually good because of reasons that others highly disagree with” is denialism.
This seems like a good time to ask what the heck is the value proposition of a thing like this. Are people really going to use the output of this blindly? And if they're going to audit every line - is that really easier than just writing the code yourself? Honestly, at best it feels like a machine for introducing pernicious bugs that "look right" but are semantically wrong. (Which reminds me - were any of the Underhanded C Contest entries in the training data?)

Before I switched to Perry's Perpetual knot, I liked using the Turquoise Turtle Shoelace Knot.[1]

It's almost exactly like the "standard" shoelace knot I've used most of my life, but with just an extra tuck, and it virtually never unintentionally gets untied. It's fast, easy to put on and easy to take off. Highly recommended.

Perhaps. Personally, I don't find these notions comforting. It could be that our consciousness serves a higher purpose of some sort, or it could be it is but sweet delicious nectar for hungry entities, and we are but fodder.

My philosophy must allow for either and neither.
