The mixing consoles I've used had the 1/4" coming vertically out of the top of the board. For other equipment, it might be coming out facing the user in a vertical rack piece of gear. Never have I seen it on the very front of the desk. that would be very prone to getting sheered off when a rolling chair slides across the front of the desk.
> Why is it that the US needs middle-men to negotiate prices - that is, why can't Medicare just negotiate the prices themselves?

Pharmaceutical companies bribe—sorry, lobby—members of Congress so those members of Congress vote against letting Medicare negotiate pricing.

Since money is speech, (see Citizens United v FEC) the one with the most money wins.
Yes, my point was that it took them a really long time to add support. Sorry if that was not clear. Let's hope they don't take as long for avif
> I think the whole point was to point out that some things can be considered rationally better than others

While it's anyone's right to pass their opinion as a fact, it helps little in terms of explaining how different people react to art.

> art theory is about as usefull for enjoying and doing art as ornithology is for birds.

I believe the trouble here is that birds rarely try to pass as ornithologists. Trying to formulate a general theory about what makes art or artistic taste is sociology work, not art.

> some things can be considered rationally better than others

I hope blue is your favorite color, because it's mine; and if it's not yours, you're wrong.
I'm not the GP author, but I don't think they actually said that _exactly_. I agree it was a bit vague, but the latter point of them using an old version of Chrome for their most recent update was more pertinent. They are comparing a pre-release to a stable in both cases and then not spending any effort to contrast that later.
I think on-chip ECC would mitigate this problem just as well as off-chip ECC. Off-chip ECC is meant to catch errors during transmission (i.e. 72 bits transmitted for 64 bit words), not necessarily just the ones that occur internal to the package.

I agree it's meant to counter limitations due to increased density, but it should catch this to an extent also as this error is induced on-package right, not during transmission. Or am I mistaken?

Rittenhouse showing up was a result of unrest in a town where he had friends and family. He gave aid to rioters and protesters as well as counter protesters. He showed up to protect and help people, and if he hadn't been armed, he could have been shot and killed or beaten to death, because he told people he was there to help the police. It wasn't until he'd been shot at, attacked with a skateboard, and had a gun aimed at him by an asshole who threatened to kill him earlier that Rittenhouse used his weapon.

I think being armed was probably responsible and it's fairly clear given the evidence from the trial that it was used in a responsible way that exemplifies the use of lethal force in self defense.

The media stoked narratives that caused the riots are to blame. Sensationalism of topics like police on black violence manipulates people into believing things that aren't true, and they react in ways that might very well be reasonable if the narratives were true. I think Rittenhouse is going to sue the ever loving shit out of a lot of legacy media corporations, and maybe that will make them a little more cautious when hyping the tabloid bullshit.
There's game theory at play here that transcends the legal system.

Yes, the US and the EU could deem these cryptocurrencies to be illegal. However, as we saw in China, all that accomplishes is squeezing it out of your borders, or squeezing it to the black market. Making it illegal would also be an insanely strong signal to the entire world that this thing actually is uncontrollable by our current governments, and that they're scared of it.

Knowing they can never actively kill it, just drive it elsewhere, these societies have to take a gamble. Either assume it's eventually going to wither and die after they ban it, thereby protecting their citizens from wasting time and money on the system, or assume it's going continue to grow into being the foundation of a new global monetary system that's going to automate and consume everything that's existed before, and severely miss out on being at the vanguard of that industry.
You could say the same thing about music, but I know some perfectly executed but 'dead' music and the same piece by some amateur nobody ever heard of executed in a (far) less than perfect way that yet manages to make it come alive somehow. I've always been wondering what that quality is but I don't think any arguments about logic are going to settle it, if execution is all there is to good taste then a lot of well executed art would be valuable and yet it isn't.

Piet Mondriaan is a nice example: the execution could have been done by anybody willing to spend the time and the effort, but somehow the paintings have a value that well exceeds the association I have with the skills required to compose and execute them. I know a few painters that are off the scale good whose work will never be worth more than the materials cost, never mind their time.

Good taste is in the eye of the beholder, as well as what people agree on is good taste.

It's much easier to label something bad taste than to have a meaningful argument about what is mediocre taste or good taste. It's like trying to define culture in terms of observable facts about reality, instead of a living thing, the lens through which we perceive everything, including the frameworks we use to reason about things. You can't really measure anything with a yardstick made of rubber and springs.

> Are there any specific things that git does that you wish were done better?

I wish `git-log`'s `--follow` wasn't optional so GitHub et al would show the complete history for files I `git mv`. Mercurial got this one right :)
What a tasteful word substitution.
We have come to a point where we have large companies employing thousands of people who need a purpose.

Fix your bugs. There are plenty. It’s not that they have no purpose. They want to add things to their resume so the next place will give them a pay bump or get that promotion.

If your strategy was to hop around between jobs every 12+ months or climb the ladder, would you bother making things better? You’ll be gone soon and it will be the next persons problem.
This is a nice palette cleanser after the "disable view source" from the Chrome monopoly.
If you dig deeper into the research behind most of the nutritional advice promulgated by health organizations you'll find that it doesn't actually meet modern evidence-based medicine criteria. And there's no reliable proof that publishing such advice has ever produced better public health outcomes.
Do you think that's the right thing to do from a moral standpoint? Are you aware of how callous you are?
I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me, but I don't think this is a good precedent. Apple has always been opinionated, and that's a lot of what made Apple different.

I agree in principle but in practice Apple made a lot of bad bets with the previous generation across the entire product line.

Intel failed to meet its targets time and time again, which hit Apple's production schedules especially hard since they tend to make big updates infrequently rather than continuously updating internals to be as fast as possible.

The USB-C ecosystem never got as convenient or extensible as they had hoped. Only now do I see a lot of good USB-C docks and peripherals coming out and it's still not as robust as you would want if you're building your entire product suite around it.

Some stuff there just was no good alternative, particularly SD cards.

The TouchBar was a dud.

The low-profile switches on their keyboards had big reliability issues.

And many more! Part of being a bold innovator is knowing when an idea didn't work out. The latest generation shows that they're willing to defer to practical needs rather than doubling-down on failed ideas.

I'm not missing anything. If this is automated, you're telling me they can't put in a rule that says "if public access, then take-down not apply"? Maybe you're making a different claim that a network stream (from CBS or another) is not eligible for re-stream? That I find more compelling, but then again it also shouldn't be hard to add another layer to that rule.
Around 1980 my family got their first computer. I've followed this business ever since, and I was amazed that a CRAY could do MFLOPS. My MS basic interpreter could do hundreds or even thousands of FLOPs on its 8080A. I watched as the high end went to hundreds of MFLOPS, then GIGAFLOPS which seemed insane. There were national efforts to reach TFLOPS, and reading about the challenges (IIRC at the time interconnect was a huge deal) made it seem like the end was near. Moore's law was always in danger. Then came PETAFLOPS consuming megawatts of power.

And now I play VR on a battery powered gizmo doing about 1 TFLOP strapped to my head, and EXAFLOPS are basically here. This is all with at least TSMC 5nm, 3nm, 2nm, and multi-layer left on the table. After watching this relentless advance for 4 decades I'm pretty sure it will go beyond even that, but we just don't know what it will look like yet.

It's become everyday tech to me, but if I look back the progression is absolutely astounding.
Not to belittle the work, but it is always prudent to research what the other implementations are before possibly doing duplicate work and providing that comparison along with the new work for justification of it. For example, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Software#C shows picocoin (libccoin), which Github also lists as being C. What makes this or what is desired to for this to be different from the alternative(s)? It certainly seems a non-trivial matter to have completely reimplemented the necessary GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library or similar dependencies such as specific compiler extensions.
Your comment in no way addresses the OP's stance. It was known there would be issues if they continued with pregnancy, they did, and now they want others to pay for their decision.
It sounds like terminating a pregnancy is illegal in Indiana after week 22. One week after the diagnosis.

You're blaming the mother for having to make the most painful decision of her life in a split second after getting what might be the most terrible piece of news in her life. It's really the state that failed her child before and after their birth. This is no fault of the mother's.

Shame.
The History of the Web series deserves its own post for sure. But going by the publication date, unlike the OP, it seems to end just before it all went south ;)
Imaginary numbers were invented too early, that is why the usual explanations following the historical development are so mysterious. The notion of Sqrt(-1) does not help to explain what they actually are.

In fact imaginary "numbers" are not numbers. They cannot be ordered by size. Imaginary "numbers" are also not vectors in the geometrical sense. This is because you can multiply two geometrical vectors and get a scalar as result (scalar product). But if you multiply two imaginary "numbers" you get another imaginary "number", so this is different to a geometrical vector. In fact imaginary "numbers" are transformations or operators, because they multiply like operators/matrices and they act on geometrical vectors like rotation matrices. Group theory makes all that very clear: Imaginary "numbers" are just the elements of the group SO(2), the group of rotation operations in 2D (multiplied with a scaling factor).

However the invention of group theory started only with Galois in 1832 when trying to solve not the cubic, but the quintic. And the powerful notation of matrices as is ubiquitous nowadays was only invented in 1913 (by Cuthbert Edmund Cullis, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)#History)

Unfortunately mathematicians (and YouTubers) don't stop to teach the confusing outdated notions of imaginary/complex numbers rooted in the 18th and 19th century. And unfortunately this video belongs to the many videos just repeating the same old stuff over and over again.
My only question is "WHY?!?" It makes no sense in a strategic regime to ACTUALLY BLOW UP THE SATELLITE! Not only that, it was a huge satellite.

Launching the rocket? Sure! Tracking the target? Why not! Actually hitting it? Stupid! Maybe Russia is done with space and doesn't care if anyone else isn't?
In the future this type of genetic selection could happen as a fluke or could be engineered... either way the result could be unprecedented genocide.

Bitcoin is centralized.

If you want any chance at mining, you'll need an ASIC miner.

And the few companies that sell them, are sold out.

Or there's some shady dealers that only will accept Bitcoin for payment, so you basically have no insurance if they don't deliver the miner.

yes, I've used runit.

Athough systemd's overall software engineering is not impressive, I believe the value of having a centralized admin system for all common base functionality of a modern linux workstation or server is high.

Of the non-init components of systemd, my experience is:
networkd is really powerful but there are serious gaps (that's your mess), resolvd (I spend a lot of time debugging their resolver; I like dnsmasq better). udevd: have never noticed anything about it working any differently from before. timesyncd (versus ntpd): has generally been painless and worked well.

I haven't really looked into the container support.

Abortion isn't legal in all parts of the world, or even all parts of the USA. Your suggestion would make no sense at all for someone living in Texas, for example. If people are forced to have children they know in advance they can't support, then why shouldn't the government help provide for that child?
Yeah, that's roughly about the sum of it.

Other observations about OKRs that I would have liked to see included are:

- The article calls out how Measure What Matters and OKRs only work if the key results are legitimate metrics, real numbers as opposed to boolean flags: continuous system outputs. But at scale, some subteams just put their tasklists into OKRs as boolean KRs, make up a nebulous objective to cover them, and reimplement the same flawed systems that OKRs were meant to replace.

- Often OKRs are scoped beneath the team level to the personal level. This is very dangerous. The unit of production is not the individual but the team. You tend to create perverse incentives when you go one level lower, “I am an amazing employee because I didn't care about my struggling colleagues and ignored them and delivered 10 times as much work as them!”

- OKRs need to be understood as a management back-off to be effective, but this culture shift is relatively uncommon. If you look up the literature on setting good OKRs, you will find blog articles about SMART goalsetting or whatever, but very little about “OKRs are about treating your employees as research scientists. You are going to give them a goal to do research on, that is the objective, and you're going to open up the pocketbook and just say, how much grant money do you need to solve this objective. So that's why it's important that the objective makes the business money, you need to know how open the pocketbook is. Meanwhile, the KRs are important because research projects have a sort of inertia, by themselves they do not respect the Pareto principle to do the 20% work that drives 80% of the result. So you have to tell your researchers when it's okay to stop, they won't know that unless you tell them and they will keep tweaking to get that last 2% efficiency out of the system.” Tutorials just don't have this perspective!

- OKRs probably only make sense in terms of a complex system, so required reading should probably be Donella Meadows’ Thinking in Systems. In particular, you need to understand that for something to change often everything must change. People try to do these very tiny scoped OKRs and that's kind of risky. To get a complex system to change, often you just need to hold the output at some desired level, and allow the internals to reconfigure to provide that output. Nobody talks about OKR-induced organizational chaos, but ideally you should have one or two OKRs a year that really rearrange the entire system because they happened to be located at a bottleneck and they had to twist the system around until something else became the bottleneck.
For sure. Certainly once she did start going back to work and pumping at the office, it was less "fun" - the pumping room wasn't the most comfortable, she had to do it a lot more and cart it back and forth in a cooler, etc.
The check has to go somewhere and the caller to div has the most context in the event the divisor is 0. If you return an optional from div then you either impose the check on all the callers, or just propagate None everywhere and some top-level function has to deal with mysteriously missing values.

The NonZero type should be responsible for checking the wrapped value is non-zero, you will probably want safe and unsafe constructor functions

Int -> Optional[NonZero[Int]]
Int -> NonZero[Int]

where the unsafe version throws.

If this is overkill for your application then I'd prefer throwing an exception in div rather than encoding the failure in the return type.
Oh wow, how have I never noticed the Color Meter!? Thanks for pointing to that!

Yes, of course. He constantly lies to hide his real political opinions: He obviously fights for women to succeed, he favors my sisters every time he can, he’s a staunch feminist, but he doesn’t want to lose his son. He puts a visible fat thumb on the balance in favor of women, and he’s surprised that I point out his fat thumb resting on the balance.

It’s sad, I’m sad, he’s sad, but he keeps doing it, and doesn’t want to discuss it.

To answer your question, I have often changed my mind in my life. Precisely because I’ve always engaged with opponents, had animated debates, and sometimes encompassed their point of view. I don’t understand how one can stay stuck on a demonstrably false information, and be so mean about it that you wouldn’t want it undemonstrated. But I feel like 10-20% of the Gen Z generation has the same problem dealing with their parents consuming fake news.

Do you know what github does differently when performing a merge? I’ve noticed sometimes github says there’s a merge conflict yet when i do the merge locally using the default recursive strategy it often just merges without any conflicts. I know there are cases it can’t handle when there are conflicts, but it seems odd that it cannot merge when there are no merge conflicts.
