problem, is as an industry we're treating software engineering as a science only. forgetting it's part science part art. now you can be smart, but not be artistic. which is a major problem, google n other faangs have notorious interviews which wannabes copy. yet can't make software that works half the time.
maybe it's high time, the software industry looks at how creatives get hired.
coz after all we're a creative industry - just only using engineering principles to create art
I don’t think the author says that a Bazaar project can’t be successful.

I have a USB network adapter with a penguin on it. That was the key that solved all my problems. Everything just worked after that.

If you don't play games I just can't imagine using Windows over KDE with the application menu. It just feels like Windows 2050.
I do know that, but it's few billion before the earth is consumed by the expanding sun. Without surface water the planet is still there.
It seems the appropriate method to judge this approach is in comparison to the baseline referenced at the start: humans making “black box” judgement calls that are subject to the individual judge’s biases. If the computer programmed decision making were (already is?) transparent, then we could critique it and work to ensure something resembling fair is encoded.
I'm having difficulty thinking of use cases where you'd need your phone to sit flat other than alleviating OCD?

Regardless, I'm sure someone will make a case that mostly flush.
Every single codebase you have just cited here (except for the nebulous "advocates from C++ core guidelines") is older than the Rust language. Look at high frequency trading code or maybe recent game engines for good C++ projects - I don't know if any of these are open source.

I 100% agree with breaking C compatibility, breaking ABI compatibility, and turning off vintage C++.
Ten whole dollars. Wow, I'm just thinking of all the ways that I can spend that ten whole dollars.

Maybe they can offer even more money for other body part scans. Eight dollars for a scan of your teeth, four dollars for a scan of your genitalia, two dollars for a scan of your sphincter,

Amazon, you're wonderful, I love you.
It's more like client certs with tls that are signed by the server's key I believe.
It doesn't need to be public facing servers. It could be also for internal uses such as the storage nodes or YouTube transcoding (which has custom decoding/encoding HW as well). I doubt they'd keep the Tensor subsystem for applications like those, though... Except perhaps for YT, where one day you could feed models with frames as they get converted.

If anyone is interested in the historical development of football tactics there's a pretty good book that covers it called Inverting the Pyramid, by Jonathan Wilson.

The title of the book refers to the broad trend going from a few defenders and lots of strikers to the modern game with the opposite.
The global http network already encompasses all video-hosting sites. If YouTube were a cluster of PeerTube nodes nothing really changes, all the stated problems associated with YouTube's popularity remain. e.g. if YouTube nodes ban your videos and you have to move to a less popular node, you're facing the exact same problem as you would getting banned from YouTube today.
There are 6 anecdotes in this thread where friends and family apply force to get a person to look at their phone. Social force, but still. Force.

Consider the soft forces of marketing, distraction, conformity, attraction and temptation. They are as real as a twisted arm.
Is the capture a chemical or biological process?
Not AFAIK. I know MSSQL has a way, but cursory googling suggests that Postgres does not.

I just don't think this "collapse" is the case.

My gut feel is that everyone has stopped doing lateral flow tests and reporting those tests: noone wants to be isolating now the summer holidays have started, and many people are now ignoring track and trace because they're scared of the possible "pingdemic". I know many people who have stopped scanning in to venues. I reckon many suspect they may have Delta but because the holidays have started and they've been cut loose from gov mandates of mask wearing etc, that the "crowd responsibility" factor has almost totally dissipated.

There may be evidence otherwise but I suspect actual figures are far higher than is being reported.
> For more advanced students you could teach them to calculate even weird values like 70° using a few terms of the Maclaurin series for cosine:

You /can/ but by the the time that is introduced, which is usually college since we're talking calculus, you don't want to test basic trigonometry. The tests at that level are about something else not about the particular values of the basic trig functions. Personally once I got to calculus very few of the questions were about the numerical result of a function.
I don't know, wine kinda just barely works as it is. Introducing another layer of complexity through sandboxing would be opening a can of worms. Like I know Chromium's GPU sandbox has caused weird bugs in the past because it prevented the graphics driver from doing something it needed to do.
Unfortunately, CVEs come up when security researchers find something interesting to publish, whereas actual breaches usually come from a hacker exploiting some sysadmin's poor configuration.
You haven't cited any data.
It seems to me that suggests that maybe we should evaluate a model where we pull, and share content ourselves.

The issue I've seen is that tends to make it hard to sneak ads into the feed without it being really obvious to everyone what is being done.
Were you using a mainstream desktop Linux distribution? Those are generally configured to handle things like graphics cards, sound systems, power management, and dynamic hardware coming and going (including monitors). That is not meant to say they always get it right. There are very few vendors who will test their products with Linux, and the community hasn't necessarily tested it either, but they usually do a fairly good job.

The reason why I bring this up is your description sounds like the experiences of someone who has used Arch or Debian or another distribution where there is a lot of configuration to be done out of the box. That is not necessarily a bad thing if you have the time or inclination, but it is also the sort of thing that desktop distributions are intended to handle for the end user.
I wonder how well the models account for the "oh shit" factor of people being exposed to enough news about a development like Delta that they change their behavior. All around me people are quietly going back to their early-pandemic habits of distancing and mask wearing despite shedding those habits well before the CDC said they should.
I had an early Nexus phone (I forget exactly which one) that had a seemingly physics-defying ability to slooooowly (over the course of minutes) slide off apparently-flat-but-actually-slightly-not surfaces, when laid on its back. Not due to alert vibrations, either, but when entirely idle, or even turned off. I think Google accidentally made the back out of some kind of sci-fi ultraslick material or something.
Just to let you know, everything is political.

I'm independent politically, but PBS is the Fox of the liberals. Completely biased.

FreeBSD can use the userspace implementation just fine; what almost made it out but was caught before it could actually be released was an in-kernel module for it.
I make heavy use of email scheduling (and more recently Slack message scheduling) and will often schedule messages to go out in a few hours or the next day. That way, I can get my thoughts down in the moment, but not get sucked into a back-and-forth when I don't have time for it. I work with students and have found that delaying my responses tends set their expectation that they're not going to get a quick answer and train them over time to spend a bit more time trying to find an answer themselves because they can't depend on me for an immediate response.

Ignorance is bliss...but is a double edged fork.
"West Country Cheddar" is protected. I doubt you can get that in the US very easily though.
I've been thinking about this ever since my closest supermarket got the same app system.
Anti-theft seems to be done by random audits of scanning 3-4 items. I've had this 3 times out of the 20 or so times I've used it.

In that regard, it seems more risky to try any funny business with it. With the traditional self scans, cameras aside, it's quite easy to fool them, and they are reliable and predictable machines. I'm sure it would be easy to slip something at the bottom of your bag, but if you get caught on an audit, I'm sure it sets a flag to audit you more often.

The scan-at-end checkouts can be used without identity, where as the scan-as-you go, at least for my supermarket, you have to log into an account linked to your identity before it's used. This may deter a lot of casual theft.

I'm sure if you asked them about switching auth methods they would help with that.
Those comments were added after I responded. In fact it's still being edited. This was the entirety of the comment I responded to:

There is a mechanism to ensure that there is no unexpected regression. Exposing the PSYCOPG_IMPL env var a program can make sure to obtain a specific implementation and import fails if it's not available. https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/api/pq.html
Well this model assumes all the other mechanisms of the company are still in place. Including quality control and so forth.

People intentionally writing bad spaghetti code or bugs will have to fix it before going live. Companies do beta tests with a small sample all the time. We just measure revenue increases and share them with the person who is responsible :)
When I was an 9 year old kid (~ 1991) my dad bought a book ( https://www.amazon.com/Video-Kids-Making-Sense-Nintendo/dp/0... ) to understand our "addiction" to Videogames... My dad seriously thought that it was going to doom our generation.

Fast forward 30 years, and we are doing OK. Things are different, but OK for us. "Videogames" have been replaced by "games" and we take them for granted and don't pay that much attention.

My take is that, for Generation Alpha kids, all the technology will be like bicycles or cars for us: It will be ubiquitous and they will all now how to use it. So there won't be any question about their use.
I used to love apples. Until I realized that most of the ones I would buy ended up being mealy. It was like rolling dice as to whether one would be mealy.

Maybe it’s because we started buying organic? We got some apples one time that weren’t organic, and they were great.

If organic apples are too susceptible to being mealy, I guess I’d rather just eat other organic fruits vs. eating non-organic apples.
I don't see how open immigration solves the self-determination problem, unless the premise is that:

1) You allow open immigration.

2) You then allow a democratic vote, including by the new immigrants, to partition the existing state (the essence of self-determination).

which comes back to pretty much my original premise: that the only way for a geographically dispersed population to have self-determination is to be able to move to a single area where they can them democratically vote to have that area become autonomous or sovereign...

Needless to say, the pre-existing population of that area would likely not perceive this process favorably.

The other option I see is to posit that in modern democracies the principle of self-determination is unnecessary. I suspect a number of people in Catalonia and Scotland would disagree...
Ok, being more specific: quick phone screen + one round only
It's a fun game! A nice addition would be to tell the player at the end what was the maximum that they could make, and how.
CO2 (or SiO2) is only one of the possible outputs, or inputs, of metabolism. Even on Earth its primacy came very, very late.

You don't get to constrain alien life to your preconceptions. Even some Earth life secretes SiO2. Using carbon for some things would not invalidate its Si-basedness any more than diatoms have given up carbon-basedness.

Silicon's near absence from our favored solvent, like iron's, is a product of toxic levels of biogenic atmospheric oxygen. Our early oceans were saturated with iron products, and are now starved of them. There is no reason to assume oxygen would be their favored oxidant.
Managing complexity: encoding the tax code
Be sure to price in general life risks like accidents, cancer, stress induced hearth attacks etc. The problem with this approach is, that a non zero number of people will not live long enough to buy their life back.
At this point the digital world is necessary to maintain efficiencies and progress that keep civilization running on the resources we have.

So it is necessary.

We could survive without it, in some sense, but not without a global catastrophe. Coordination, communication, efficient finance and logistics, etc. provide huge leverage on our physical resources.
> I find Clojure awful both conceptually and implementation-wise (the imposition of lowest common denominators by JVM dependency really sucks here, starting with lack of tail calls, but not ending there), so that's most likely not going to happen.

You do you, but I personally would do some thinking on why Clojure has eaten CL’s lunch, despite your belief in its inferior design and implementation.

(Edit: for the record I’ve worked professionally in CL, Clojure, Java, and some others. I think Java is best, but I think that your argument about Clojure being inferior to CL is incorrect).

Also, tail calls? Really? Genuinely can’t remember the last time that mattered to me.

> I don't see why the good things in Clojure should be impossible to achieve in CL as libraries.

I don’t see why “impossible” would be a factor here. It’s not technology that’s holding CL back here, but rather what the community values and spends its collective time on.

I'd say go with an LLC instead of incorporating. I would set it up prior to launch to hibe you some liability protection. Plus, it's best to create the branding around your business from the start. Switching it later might lead to negative impacts, or at least wasted effort from building out the initial branding.
Quoting from that thread:

> I don't think gpsd has any reason to be predicting when a future leap-second is going to occu

Until last year, leap seconds had been very predicable. The effect of global warming on earth rotational speeds was only very recently seen, or even predicted. But, yes, going forward, that needs to change.

> And the code in question is clearly expecting only positive leap-seconds.

Yes, because until 2020, the thought of a negative leap second was unthinkable. I would welcome you testing that and seeing what falls out.
Pretty sure the bile in these comments would be doubled if the story was about Amazon displacing local stores.
Who looks at a rocket and thinks "Hmm, I bet the engineers could have gone with a more efficient design, but they decided to go with a dick?"

SEEKING WORK | Boise, ID, USA or remote

Web developer with 14 years of professional experience (and a decade of hobbyist experience before that). Sorry, I don't know much about this week's trendy frameworks and languages, but I do know how to build and maintain/rescue sites with the following proven technologies:

- PHP: Drupal, CodeIgniter, WordPress, frameworkless

- MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite

- Linux (Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS), BSD (OpenBSD, FreeBSD)

- Client-side JavaScript: jQuery, frameworkless

Initial consultations are always free and my rates are affordable given my level of experience. Check out my web site for more about me and some of the things I've worked on and how to get in touch: https://albright.pro/

No "for exposure/future opportunities/share of potential profit" queries, please. Thanks!

There is a huge market in romance scams and people lose huge amounts to it, most people are clever enough to spot them but many aren't. Now if you're able to intercept a genuine conversation it'd give you a good advantage.

Even at a lower level, just sending a bunch of messages asking for money for a cab/train/airfare might yield good returns. People let their guard down when there's a possibility of getting laid.

The key word is predominantly. As long as Google makes dramatically more money from platform-agnostic services than hardware, which will still be true even if this device is much more successful than expected, its motivations will be very different from those of hardware companies.
In general, you can train attention like it's a skill or exercise you practice. Stuff like mindfulness meditation is training of attention.

If we're talking about how social media shortens our attention span then it may be prudent to reduce usage.
Ironically, the underlying cause of the query planner failures is a defect in the statistics collection architecture -- it doesn't scale to large databases in some cases. An argument of "does not scale with data size" applies to the query planner.
This is interesting, thank you for pointing it out. Worth looking if the problems can be fixed the same way in both the adapter (and probably everything else using server-side binding).
I am talking about straight up counterfactuals, not narrative construction or discursive selectivity. While I agree with much of what you're saying, I'm trying to stay out of the political/philosophical realm and focus on the issue of outright falsehoods.
I don’t have naive views on art. I did not claim the physical world is unnecessary for anything.
It takes 56 bits in and spits 64 bits out, and is not lossy. You can decrypt it. It doesn't even hit the Wikipedia definition of a hash function by being able to accept a variable length input (I don't think truncating input really fits the spirit).

You are clearly extremely knowledgeable in this field. But I think you are trying to retroactively apply everything we have learned about how to do it correctly to code that was written 30 years ago. :)
But if you play online with strangers, you're not really participating in a local basketball competition are you?
Congratulations to the Vue team, this is definitely a big win for them.

Reading through the RFC is really interesting. They specifically call out the dependency on Facebook as effectively being React's Single Point of Failure, citing their negative experiences with HHVM.

And for all of the love that people give React's big shifts (like hooks), the RFC specifically counts this against them, given that best practices have shifted so drastically in the last few years.
I just got an Apple Watch, and am planning to experiment using it without the phone.
I think you are missing the point.

This is totally voluntary.

It is not for dev ops nor the security team. It is for people who freely choose to share the risks and the rewards of their contributions. They approach a company that has already done the work of getting a userbase, goodwill etc. improve its bottom line by X, and get the proportional compensation. That’s how patio11 advocates selling your services. This is just the company making it as easy as possible for folks like patio11 to come and do their thing!
Why is US smashing its tech industry that's the question.
That's a great suggestion, to show potential max loss and max gain.
Well yeah, again, I think what I’m saying then is that the solution is to not use animals to achieve your goals. If you need to kill animals to ensure the optimal amount of them on your property then that doesn’t sound like you’re really living that close to nature. You’re trying to maintain the animals in a state of disequilibrium.

And yeah, we basically never need to kill animals to survive. Situations in which that is the case are extremely rare.
And that private equity firm is largely made up of capital from pension funds, charitable endowments, and university endowments.

Dollars leaving the community is a good thing. Those dollars don’t just go into a black hole. They go to other towns. And some of those towns’ dollars come to our town.

That allows all of us to diversity our risk across geographic areas. I’d much rather own a small slice of grocery stores in 1000 towns across the country than a large share of the grocery store down the street.
