> insinuating that they don't seems very wrong

It's a good thing that's not what I did then... I said that the bad workers "crowd out those that actually give a shit", which means that there _are_ indeed people that care (albeit fewer than there should be).

> What I do see here, is that someone is speaking far outside their domain of expertise.

I spent 15 years working in government contracting, specifically in defense. I've worked with a _lot_ of civilian DoD employees (many of whom I respect immensely on a professional basis and consider my friends). I also am related to and am friends with a number of former public school teachers that left their field for greener pastures. Institutional rot isn't exactly a secret.

Not the parent, but I'm guessing it's the idea that the script always moves the system to the same steady state. Similar to how Ansible tries to be and how Kubernetes controller loops work.
Welcome to hell. Wait until you realize its a scam in plain sight.

Perhaps when it's someone's turn to speak they could instead be silent for ten seconds so people knew they had nothing to say. That sounds cool.

I'm generally sympathetic to them because they have a very difficult - yet very important! - role.

The only time I've ever been really angry at a recruiter was when I came across a snarky LinkedIn post written by a recruiter (and upvoted by many others) that went something along the lines of "Joe contacted me because he had found himself out of work. However, I checked our internal database and found that we had reached out to him many times and he had never once responded to our inquiries. It was with great satisfaction that I told Joe, 'I'm sorry but we have nothing for you at this time...'"

I try not to put negative thoughts out there but I wish... very very bad misfortune on this particular recruiter.
I think most languages define variance at type definition level, notable exceptions being Kotlin which supports both [0][1] and Flow. But yeah, TS doesn't support (variable-)declaration-site variance which I didn't realize you were asking in my previous answer.

I'm guessing since there are no hypocrites in crypto you are all using non-fiat "coins" to pay your bills and buy groceries, right?
NFS or SMB. Just wondering as I've recently started exploring (lxc) containerization in my home lab and that was the big roadblock I hit with unprivileged containers. I guess the solution as you suggest is to mount in host and bind-mount in the ct, but that seems pretty unappealing for multiple reasons- it breaks the logical compartmentalization of app config in the container, no visibility on the server of which ct owns a connection, can't scope nfs permissions per container etc.
You keep mentioning things that I'm not seeing or experiencing. I literally just topped up my card yesterday. 1000 USDC from my cypto wallet to the card, which now has $1000 of USD spending power. 1 to 1. Maybe this is a jurisdictional difference if you're not in the US or something, not sure.
That's not how selection works. If something doesn't decrease survivability, then there is no reason why evolution would get rid of it.
People really think this will have an impact? Look at post snowden leaks, on orgs that dissolved and what new orgs popped up around the world (and even some ex-employees, moved from one country to another to the new orgs). I live in a country that's deep into all this, so I am not going to put any names or links here, but search HN historic links a bit and you see them.
Oh f*. I was just talking about how it's only a matter of years until I need a phone to sign in everywhere, then this.

2Fa is literally the only reason I have to keep a phone. And sites that require a phone numbers for 2fa are rising too, sure I want to link my identity to every single website I login to. Sure let's ignore how insecure SMS is and that I can't actually own a number.

As someone who just uses virtual numbers I am basically locked out of things like Twitter and dozens of random websites who think SMS proofes anything.

And if I want a Twitter account, or 50 of them, I just rent numbers for a few cents. Basically just costing a little money and a additional click. What should that protect?

Why TF do I need a phone and phone number to use the internet? What went wrong there?

/Rant over
Yep, the spending on the Viet Nam war and the deficits it created were a big cause of the inflation during the Nixon/Ford years. Carter pushed for a balanced budget which angered enough folks in his party to lead to Ted Kennedy primarying him from the Left in 1980.
Yes and no: No, no one I'm aware of has tried using DC motors and cameras instead of steppers to control a printer.

But yes, industry uses optical technology in large CNCs all the time. Some homing switches are physical clicky switches, some are inductive proximity sensors, but an optical 'horseshoe' througbeam/fiberoptic sensor is the standard for highly repeatable sensor-based homing. Depending on your control system, homing to a hard stop by measuring motor torque can also be highly effective, then you don't even need switches.

I've personally worked on a number of CMMs (coordinate measuring machines, basically a CNC with a probe tip for checking that something was machined within tolerances instead of a spindle for actually cutting it) that use 90V DC motors and Heidehein glass scales for positioning. We calibrate them using laser interferometers; another optical technique - just with a single beam. Those same CMMs are being phased out across the industry in favor of optical measurement systems, just because they're faster.

Shane of the excellent "Stuff Made Here" Youtube channel recently made a big CNC painting robot that did optical tracking for a coarse positioning stage and used steppers for the local stage: https://youtu.be/osUTMnDFV30
I think there's a very big future in adding more (optical and other) feedback mechanisms to CNC machines, but 0.3mm resolution is really only good enough for the crudest of devices.

For comparison, a typical ball screw, has positioning accuracy/resolution of around .02mm

Yeah, it's turned it from a more creative process into more of an assembly line sweatshop. All of the new excessive formalities bug me.
It responds perfectly well to people that understand its knobs. But when you elect a guy who's never been in a government position before, is it really any surprise he can't bend it to his will?

It's like if you pulled someone random off the street and made them CEO of a Fortune 500. Do you think the entire org would just turn on a dime and listen to them? No chance.
Ok, so why would you be boycotting a specific OS release that did not ship with this feature?
I think you should provide the source of the results.
Also, I don't agree with the premise that to solve a problem all it needs is a code block and the explanation given is not relevant. I mean we often do just that but understanding why a solution will work or why not is key to learning how to do things in the future without looking them up. Another problem with the lack of comments is that the reader won't notice that a solution is outdated, even though someone noted that on the original StackOverflow page that the snipped originates from.

Despite that the project looks very clean and fast for its start and I haven't encountered any technical problems :)
The problem I have with saying nothing is that the act of saying "still working on X" can be a trigger for more conversation. Is X taking longer than expected by the rest of the team? Let's dig into that. Did somebody else's work unexpectedly intersect with X yesterday? Now they have a mental trigger to mention that. Etc.

But, in practice, I'd prefer somebody gave a little more context than a simple "working on X" (assuming X isn't trivial - if it was, you would have finished it already) - what part of X... Design? Coding? Testing? Any roadblocks? Do you expect to turn it over to QA today or tomorrow? Nobody is working a vacuum and all our work intersects at some point.
Why is is it appropriate for one "nobody" to tell me they hate another "nobody" while discussing a decent blog post? Something unsaid?
That’s how it’s pronounced, no?
> It's theatre, so it won't help actual security.

I disagree with this sentiment. As a small firm who has undergone multiple security audits/certifications, I have found that the controls we added were generally practical and did improve our security.
The answer is yes. I used ClickHouse to calculate and forecast sales of products at a dozen or so stores. The compression was huge because it's essentially the same data every day except for changes to the inventory. At the time I checked vanilla PostgreSQL, TimeScaleDB and ClickHouse. It wasn't even close when it came to storage or performance. ClickHouse allowed me to work off of an old workstation where I installed Ubuntu.

In my case the data arrived in CSVs with around 20k skus. Had they arrived a couple at a time, I could have created a CSV and written to ClickHouse later or used any of the other storage methods available in ClickHouse.
I regularly work outside during summer, powering a MacBook Pro exclusively by sunlight (panel about 1m^2). For a few hours I can get a good 50+ watts, buffering thru a 100Wh battery. Keeping the load typically around 10-15 watts isn't hard, so long as paying attention.

Of note, I persuaded Atlassian to remove the (rather nice) animated clouds from their "you have been logged out" web page because it pulled 30 watts (even when web page was hidden). Running on solar/battery exclusively, that was a problem; kudos to them for acting on it.
Part of this is general attitude towards all hacking - that systems can “never be secured”, it is never the designer/implementer’s fault, and we should just blame the bad actors.

When banks/financial systems can get away with not upgrading a decade old Java framework with 6 month old struts vulnerability, and just blame the hacker, it is not surprising the average school sysadmin will do the same.
I would expect Luau to be significantly slower than LuaJIT though, because Luau doesn’t include a JIT compiler.
Even more anecdata - I counted it up recently and I've had 10 different jobs in a little over 30 years. Half I found randomly through recruiters and the other half were from my "professional network". Consistently, every single "professional network"/"referred in" job turned out to be a complete nightmare and every single "through a recruiter" job turned out to be - well, better than the other ones, anyway. By far my most negative employment experiences have been the ones where I was actively recruited in by somebody I knew from my past.
well he certainly comes at the data with zero prior biases and reaches a predictably level-headed response. and the comments/replies to this post on that site are predictably insane; theorizing Trump will be blamed in 2022 for mass vaccine deaths, getting rounded into camps to be force-inoculated, calling it a "clottery" (clever, but stupid)
Hi. Author of NsCDE here.

Fonts in NsCDE are system XFT fonts. Whatever you install on your Unix/Linux system, and however you configure your XFT library (usually in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf) you will have it.

Personally, I prefer the middle ground: sligtly antialiased, but high quality sans family fonts like Bitstream Vera and Bitstream Vera Mono, not default classic serif font which is default for historical reasons, just like "Broica" color scheme.
It's disappointing to me that they didn't just ship Firefox Color as a built-in addon. They could have even made all these colorways default theme choices.
Honestly, I’m not sure about Nim. I’d probably reach for Go before Nim because I hate layers in-between things and too many language paradigms.

Main thing is that all these hip new languages will be dead in a couple years because they don’t do anything all that innovative. Making “another C” or “another C target” versus Go which focuses on channels, slices, and go routines. These other languages that “make a better X” simply will be sidelined in production deployments because no matter the language there will always be warts.

Really folks keep reinventing the wart in the name of something “better”.

I think the article buries the lede in the last paragraph, contrasted with the photographs of Carter and Reagan under the headline. I understand the article is about dispelling myths, requiring us to rehash those myths. But the author sometimes lapses into ascribing policies to politicians too much. They are just different policies than are usually ascribed.

Deregulation, privatization, cutting taxes, and tight money were all implemented in different developed countries in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It wasn't about personalities or parties, it was about reforming the postwar economic consensus that had run out of steam by the late 1970s. Even Mitterand had his U-turn.

The buried lede is that politics doesn't matter that much. Policies are chosen more based on "facts on the ground", which is sobering, can be reassuring to some, and also dispiriting to others if you want to effect radical change.

Wonks often use the phrase "moving the needle". That's about all politics can do proactively. Mostly policy changes are forced by external circumstances.

I was the chair for Demonstrations at OOPSLA'88 and Dan gave a demo of Fabrik as well as presenting the paper.

I remember being completely astounded at the demo, a packed room, and other peers gasped and wow'ed during the presentation - I agree that Dan Ingalls, soft-spoken and humble, is truly an unsung HERO of many many ideas and innovations, some that stuck, and some that were stepping-stones..

As an aside, also at OOPSLA and in the same soft-spoken and humble way, Trygve Reenskaug, inventor of Model-View-Controller paradigm gave a demo of "SI" a manufacturing oriented project management - I was a manufacturing guy doing Machine Shop automation in Objective-C and was validated and affirmed that others were solving practical problems in the real world while doing invention and innovation practically, instead of all the ivory tower types just cranking out papers.

As a next-level debunking, I'd like to question the frequency with which major trends and events are attributed so strongly to presidents. It can be politically useful, but it's usually historically questionable. The president of the U.S. is a powerful person, but far from an omnipotent one.

Just to take one example from the article, the deregulation of airlines in the U.S. Check out the wikipedia article[0]. Carter supported the bill, but its history goes back to the early 1970s, and lots of other parties were involved in making it happen, most notably Congress, which of course had to pass the law.

Was it really a trick? By all accounts, President Reagan was sincerely horrified by the threat of a nuclear war and really did intend to build a working defensive system. But he was clueless about the difficulty of actually building such a system, and then the military industrial complex piled onto the gravy train to get lucrative R&D projects.
That's correct. We hope so too!
They're catering to a different crowd of nerds than usually read these announcements, all while claiming this makes them less nerdy.
I’m going to start referring to anything I read as “decoding”.
From the above referenced article:

"For the record, there was a conspiracy according to the 1949 U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in UNITED STATES v. NATIONAL CITY LINES, Inc., et al. "

and more to the point it actually says it up top in the title part of the article: "Yes, there was a conspiracy led by General Motors to replace streetcars with their buses in the 1930s."

I know it was somewhat mingled with the other points in the article, but it was confirmed in a Supreme Court ruling that there was indeed a conspiracy by the National City Lines and others to buy up streetcar lines and close down operations. What the article says is that despite the conspiracy, the industry was already in decline, with the streetcar companies acquired because many were in bankruptcy. And as such, the decline can't be solely and specifically blamed on the conspiracy, which is a matter of trial case law at this point. What the conspiracy did was simply accelerate a process that might have been inevitable. This is why I'm saying (and Roger Rabbit) that it played a part, even if not the central part.

To a lot of us, that looks like nonsense, but you have to remember how far through the looking-glass a lot of the conservative populace has gone... The press is now the enemy in their mind, and they don't understand technology well enough to get why these claims are ridiculous. So he gets to build steam and any pushback is just seen as more "fake news" coverage that would (of course) support their fellows in the media.

It's deeply frustrating because it's a form of social jujitsu built atop existing mistrust, and there aren't good ways to combat it.

I learned today that one can be a living heart donor. There is a special type of donation where a person who needs lungs gets a lungs+heart donation from a deceased donor, while the living person's healthy heart is transplanted to another person whose heart needs to be replaced. It seems this has advantages both for the lung recipient and the heart-only recipient and allows for compatibility in cases where the lungs and heart of the deceased person will not work separately for the two recipients.

You are making assumptions about what I write, if something is unclear simply ask and I will try to clarify my argument. I am not saying the norm for an increase in demand is to result in something becoming cheaper and more widely available. I am saying demand spurs investment and innovation. I am saying that this could have beneficial effects such as a more stable and robust electricity net as well as other societal benefits, since this is what we usually observe when investments are made and innovation happens. This is not unique to crypto mining, hence why expecting something else to happen would be outside the norm.

This is a pretty cool result.

Given that they can build a unit that small, one scaling solution is just to put a bunch of units out there (parallelism). Not as efficient perhaps but I can't see anything in the paper that would prevent that. Of course a thousand of these units in a 100 x 100 array would only produce about 32 liters of "free" fuel per day.

Given this directly impacts SpaceX's plans to colonize Mars one could hope they are funding a few projects with this team as well.
