Is one of the points you are trying to make is that we don't have a proper level of engineering until something is mass produced to the same quality level? Maybe mass produced is the wrong word, but something that satisfies more of the common design constraints or functional requirements.

I do think that there is a sloppyness that develops in thinking when using a medium that allows for free infinite continuous modification. Having a design be final has a certain foundational quality to it.
Circa 2002, Penn State limited each on-campus student connection to (my memory is fuzzy so don't hold me to exact numbers) 1.5GB combined upload and download per week. But, anything transferred within the Penn State network did not count towards the cap. This is where I should say that Penn State has 12+ campuses spread throughout the entire state of Pennsylvania so we could transfer stuff between Erie, PA and State College, PA for no penalty.

This lead to the rise of an internal Direct Connect network that allowed students to form our own internal file sharing network that was approximately functionally equivalent to Napster and the like.

This also lead to the complete and total network saturation of some parts the dorms where we clearly had clusters of students trying to get their download on. It's just really hard to try to understand how people will respond to available incentives; not just here but in all areas of life.

Yes. Reading this article is like watching Elaine from Seinfeld attempt to navigate a marriage. The expectations for how it works are so deeply, fundamentally off-base that it's kind of funny in a sad way.

The main difference is that Elaine lacks self-awareness, so it's easy to just laugh and not feel bad for her.

There's no need to write a bad review of marriage if it clearly wasn't made for people like you in the first place.

(I do want to stress that Agnes Callard is a good, perceptive thinker on many other topics, even if this piece IMO really misses the point)
As the sibling comment pointed out, it is SO much easier than it was.

I hopped back into it about 3y ago. I’ve got a NAS running on my local network with sonarr to snatch new tv shows and radarr for new movies.

In practice, if I decide I want to watch a movie I can reliably pull down something high quality within 2-10m (depending on how esoteric it is) and then be watching it on our tv.

Because a lot of the JS community comes from the design world, and they care about colors more than other communities.

Which is not a helpful understanding of human nature at all, which is my point. What I am trying to argue against -- and maybe this is not the intent of the original commenter -- is the idea that the Golden Rule is an innate and inevitable expression of our nature, but say, the horrors of Communism are not.
Isn't there a lot of prestige in owning a car?

I remember discussing commutes with a developer in Singapore, she "had to" drive for an hour every day. We were looking at Google Maps to help me follow what she described, and I noticed a rail line. Was that an option? No! She couldn't be seen using the train.
MHA passed late 2017. Upzoned 27 neighborhoods
I'm sorry that 3 people died and others were injured in the accident. Passenger rail in a sparsely populated area such as rural Montana is a government boondoggle and should be terminated. In general passenger rail in the U.S. makes little sense outside the eastern corridor from Boston to Washington D.C.
This line from the article is applicable to a wide range of Agile add-ons and recipes: "An unnecessary rebrand of an existing concept... that goes against the fundamental principles behind agile."

SAFe might be the pinnacle of Agile practitioners rebranding everything as part of their particular extensions of Agile.

Scaling up Agile in big enterprises is important. But rebranding things senior management already does and knows how to do is counterproductive and cult-like. Not every part of a business benefits from Agile.
It’s not denying anything. It’s clearly showing that what you say on the internet isn’t based on your true beliefs.

It happens all the time in actual court cases. Someone say “i hated John” and that’s used to show motive so the defense beings a witness who said the defendant drove John to church every Sunday.
Yeah, besides Tesla has been collecting data for like a decade now, I'm sure they have enough of it to make a robust enough system for the US at large, especially with their Dojo training chip.

At the end of the day it just needs to be better than the average human, and that's frankly not the highest bar unfortunately.
Humans have done that too. Meanwhile Tesla’s autopilot has many instances of saving humans who would’ve other crashed.
A few years ago I found a box of old floppies that had a bunch of code I wrote in high school. Some BASIC, some Pascal, some C (some Unix and some Turbo C), and some Prolog. Mostly games, assignments and a couple of attempts at making shareware.

BASIC did little to abstract logic and flow control and most interpreters only had global scope for variables. As your software got more complex, it got harder and harder to debug. Additionally, no real way to do any real dynamic data structures - you had only fixed length arrays.

Turbo Pascal was great, but had lots of little annoying limitations. String length had to be declared up to 256 characters (I think this got fixed in a later version of Delphi). These limitations made it harder to do lots of things that were really easy to do with C.

Prolog was really cool - but it was useful for a limited set of uses. I wrote a couple of tries (really cool to my 15 year old brain) at adventure games, and prolog made a lot of it really easy since most adventure games were all about collecting a set of conditions to solve some kind of puzzle.

C was easily my favorite - it was harder to understand at first with pointers and having to manager memory allocation, but you could build anything you wanted with it. There were a few programs where I implemented in BASIC, and then rewrote them in Pascal, and then in C. Each time, the application became more useful because a lot of limits were removed.

Honestly, C has really held up well, and a lot of that has to do with having no artificial limits... you still had hardware-imposed limits though. C did have a lot of built-in footguns... That said, I really love a lot of modern languages - so easy to do big things.
I was thinking the same thing. Other alternatives would be to reconfigure his house so it's a duplex, and renting out half, or put a "ADU" in the yard, live in that, and rent out the house.
Because neither Nintendo nor Sony consoles use any of them, so in practice there are five major shading languages. You forgot MSL.

And for WebGPU, it seems like C++, Rust and HLSL had a baby named WGSL.

Finally, GLSL on desktop, GL ES, WebGL and Vulkan isn't the same language anyway, just close enough to port most shaders.
there is no data whatsoever to suggest that autopilot is a net safety hazard. And The White House excluded tesla from their “American Made Electric Car” day. When asked why, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg said “this is not a luxury event.”

It’s just goes to show you how utterly false all alleged progressive politicians are. Tesla is singlehandedly solving climate change with sustainable energy but because it’s workers vote not to unionize, they must be stopped.
Honorable people do the right thing even when they personally do not benefit.
But aren’t black holes essentially injecting large amounts of energy into their domain of influence? Entropy would decrease in the same way it would decrease for a star system.
This is obviously unconscionable, but I did find this part of the article absurd and poorly researched:

> the Trump Justice Department had secretly subpoenaed their email account data in an effort to identify the source of classified leaks early in President Donald Trump’s term

Knowing rdl's politics, this is patently ridiculous on the part of the journalist. rdl has been an enemy of the state for decades now, going back to cypherpunks and Haven. Some of this context could have been useful to their readers.

I keep thinking about this event and it seems like a fractal of bizarre phenomena. The act of stripping git history and attribution while forking is itself malicious, but then aggressively creating pull requests across major projects to use the new version and rack up your download count (???), then picking petty fights with the creator of the original over attribution (????), and the fanbase (?????) of the forker dogpiling the original creator (??????) is... what? I struggle to attribute these to normal, healthy motivations. Something is very, very wrong with the JS Open Source community if naked clout chasing like this is not only tolerated but also rewarded with fans!

Well, “classical logic is based on set theory” seems off too…

In fact, a theory can always be formulated using a minimum number of axioms, so none requires some other theory as its base. For example, the system of real numbers can be built starting from the natural numbers, but what this achieves is, this just gives a “proof of existence” of the reals, i.e of consistency of the definition of the reals as a complete ordered field.
It does, but things like that are legally opt in
No, they won't. The AirBNB hosts are independent and have no network, many times they will have just the one unit. If they cancel, they are unable to fill someone into the unit during their time and suffer some minor penalties which grow if they continue to cancel on guests.
Using complicated language because it is more precise is not gatekeeping. Boiling it down into simpler language is going to make it less accurate and more prone to misunderstanding.
Not fraud if they give you a free upgrade to more capable hardware.

One of the first tenets of evolutionary ecology we learned in school is that all organisms need to be able to grow exponentially, to fill their niche. That's what everyone does, it grows when it's able. And humans mostly do that too.
I'm not a GNOME developer and I have no idea what you mean by self-righteous. I don't particularly care what the "right" way to do things is, I can only notice areas where there are problems and then give suggestions. And even if I was a developer, it would be incorrect to assume that all other developers act the same way. So please avoid making these vague characterizations about people, they're really not meaningful and they could be perceived as insults.

If you don't want to use GNOME or Flatpak that's perfectly fine, I'm happy for you to choose whatever you want. But some of the statements you've made here are false, including the assumptions you've made about me. That's not being respectful to me or to the project when you do that. Please don't spread misinformation or make decisions based on false information, that damages the community and it also hurts both me and you. If you're not actively using/developing a certain project or in regular contact with the developers then I would suggest not making definitive statements about it or assuming that your experiences are shared by everyone. IMO it's a mistake to quit a discussion based on false information. If you ever change your mind and decide you want to report those bugs, the door is wide open for you.

Sorta related, I was reading today a translation of Charles Aznavour's "Je Bois" (I Drink)

To smash my own face.

>> At some point data will win, right? Have you worked out in your head when that will be?

According to a Rand corp. study I quote in another comment, it will take millions or billions of miles and decades or centuries before we can know self-driving cars are safe, simply from observation:

Autonomous vehicles would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their reliability in terms of fatalities and injuries.

Under even aggressive testing assumptions, existing fleets would take tens and sometimes hundreds of years to drive these miles — an impossible proposition if the aim is to demonstrate their performance prior to releasing them on the roads for consumer use.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1478.html

That's statistics, btw, not fear. Data, like you say, will "win" at some point but that will be far in the future. Until then we have a few thousand systems whose safety we can't measure but are available commercially (and sold under pretense of improving safety).

Note also that before Tesla started selling cars with "autopilot" there was no way to know how safe it would be, in advance. That is not the behaviour of a company that cares at all about safety, other than as a marketing term.
What actual harm would come from a school being next to a liquor store or strip club? It's not like an elementary school kid is going to sneak in to the latter or buy anything from the former on a fake ID. The buses I had in school took me past plenty of places I could have walked to that sold--and advertised in plain view--alcohol and things much more racy than you'd see in a strip club, and that was 1990s Georgia.
reading through the threads it does appear both individuals are vying for some semblance of "fame", that the forker forked without git history and that the change was small enough to be made in a pr and merged. I think most of the contention here is that the forker ended up switching over babels (a build tool for js) codependency over to the new fork and without git history.

Afaik the full self driving is not better than the average human, not even close. The reason for the lack of accidents are the human drivers intervening when the system suddenly behaves irrationally, which is often. But if the FSD was left entirely to its own devices there would be a huge uptick in everything ranging from fender benders and fatal collisions.
Isn‘t it possible that several persons are sharing the same login?
There's a spectrum of possible behaviors here, both on the part of the sender and the receiver. As someone who is interested in things that someone else isn't interested in, it's important to regulate how much time you spend talking about those topics. For example, it's fine to bring up a videogame with non-gamers once in a while, but if your every conversation is about that, it's going to annoy the people listening to you, even if they are the most generous conversation partners in the world. Only get a seven year old talking about their favorite Nintendo game to see how wearing that can be.
The main problem I find is that the desktop search on windows and Mac is still trash. Type something like, say, “donation receipt” and it still comes back with 30 gobbledygook cache files before the receipt pdf you are actually looking for.
Nothing of this hinges on taking me as a person seriously, at all, and that the stuff I didn't quote is hundreds of pages, and not always super exciting, is hardly an argument against what I did quote. It's just an excuse. "I could argue, but for $silly_reason I won't". Yeah no, you couldn't even if you wanted to. Prove me wrong.

Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals that dominated the world through age after age.

Xzibit Net Worth
I dare you to read and point out some things about Xzibit...

But truth be told…

Xzibit struggled financially and filed for bankruptcy in July 2009 and January 2010, but both were dismissed and his houses and belongings liened.

Nevertheless…

Xzibit gradually regained his success and continued appearing in films, series and releasing studio albums.

He has released seven studio albums, 21 singles, and 22 music videos and will release his eighth album this year.

>>>People change, and grow tired of one another, and that's okay and good and healthy.

1. Unless there are kids involved, in which case the fallout extends beyond the relationship and has wider second-and-third-order effects on society. Aren't something like 40% of children in single-parent households in the US? And aren't there significant statistics showing that especially fatherless sons are over-represented in juvenile crime, etc...? Those situations might arise less if the population didn't have such a blasé attitude to starting and ending romantic entanglements.

2. Studies have shown that increasing numbers of sex partners has a permanent deleterious effect on a person's ability to pair-bond, with more serious psychological impacts on women than men. (sorry, don't have a citation handy) So it is not a purely "good and healthy" situation for people to be regularly growing tired of their partners.

I'm 38, essentially polygynous, with my primary female one I selected almost 10 years ago for character traits that I assessed as optimal for raising children and managing a household. So far, so good on both fronts. We have some SLIGHT overlap in our movie tastes such that we can usually find something mutually satisfying (mostly lighthearted action movies with a touch of romance). If I want to watch something extra graphic (13 Assassins, original Robocop, etc...) I'll either watch it alone or call one of the side-chicks that is comfortable with that stuff.
Yes, this seems completely off to me too. It’s perhaps worth noting in this connection that intuitionistic logics predate anything that could reasonably be called “category theory”.

Where's the innuendo in stating that, in America and many parts of the world, people wear dirty rags on their faces everyday, then take them off when they get to the table at the restaurant.

Where's the innuendo in that?

That's the mask policy on America.

The American mask policy being this:

Please wear a dirty rag on your face, then...when you get to your table at the restaurant...you can take the dirty rag off your face, while the waiter brings you food or drinks or breadsticks. And you can leave it off the entire time, but must put the rag back on to walk to the door, and then, once you're done walking from the table to the door, you can remove the rag again.

I'm not sure where the innuendo is.

Wearing a dirty rag on your face until the waiter brings the breadsticks is the health policy in America.

And we have all agreed that wearing a dirty rag on our faces until the waiter brings the breadsticks is the best public health policy.

And until the health policy changes and the people and government decide that wearing a dirty rag on our faces until the waiter brings the breadsticks is no longer needed....we will continue to wear a dirty rag on our faces until the waiter brings the breadsticks, for the foreseeable future.

Please let me know where the innuendo is.

It seems pretty clear to me.
people in the comments talk about lacking the feeling of home, so i would pose a different take - how about owning few properties and simply cycling through them during the year. for example three homes in three different places and simply following summer to have great all year round weather. does anyone have experience with it?
There are many, many, many such movements. Which somewhat defeats the point, really.
I've known some husbands in marriages who resent that they're expected to do half the housework and child rearing with a full time job when the spouse has no formal employment. Kids take a huge amount of time, and the pandemic has limited school and daycare choices for many.

Still, kids become gradually more independent. And some housework can be outsourced (landscaping, no yard, surface cleaning). A career in the marketplace is often 40+ years before reaching retirement or financial independence.

Among the lessons I think should be learned from Fukushima is: nuclear power plants should have vents with cesium filters.

Almost all the long term dose from a nuclear accident is from 137Cs. So, if you can vent steam (and hydrogen) and trap the cesium, you can avoid much of that dose. The cost of doing this shouldn't be very high, and it would have helped a lot at Fukushima. It might even enable the other safety systems (like, the containment building) to be made cheaper/smaller.

This idea is somewhat in the spirit of the famous "Cockcroft's Folly" at Windscale.
