> Wouldn't that present another set of complications for a very small edge case at huge cost?

One has to crunch the numbers. What does a service outage cost your business every minute/hour/day/etc in terms of lost revenue, reputational damage, violated SLAs, and other factors? For some enterprises, it's well worth the added expense and trouble of having multi-site active-active setups that span clouds and on-prem.

Those rankings just encode the political outlook of a certain leftist NGO.

In the USA, Neonazi publications are allowed, while in Germany they are illegal. Therefore, the US has a freer press than Germany. Freedom House would disagree, and they are simply wrong.
I agree. Starship, at the moment, is a novelty — at least for now in our lifetime. But yes, humanoid robots will have the most profound impact in our lives. I see general purpose robots as a platform. Once they know how to traverse through a world for humans, then it will be up to developers to build on top of it all the utility they can imagine. Somewhat like the iPhone. Apple figured out how to build a portable touch screen computer. This is the platform. Its the App Store that make its utility explode. Likewise, hardware attachments and applications running on the bot that interact with its APIs will make its utility explode. We are in for a radically new feature very soon.
While it is probably not a very good idea to use this to code, it reminds me of something DHH once said about Ruby.

I don’t have the quote, but he said that he just loves the language because it is so fun to write for him, despite it not being the optimal language. And this alone makes him get into flow much more easily and therefore be more productive.

This alone has made me gain interest in learning Ruby. It might be slower than lots of languages out there, but backend computing power is often not the main bottleneck in your stack. Developer velocity is probably much more important when it comes to producing great software and moving fast.
Well, yeah. It works for A role. It wouldn't make sense to wait too long if there was a bunch. That said, at some point there's a decision to be made. The older their memory of you at that point, the more forgettable you are.
Sweden to reintroduce many Covid-19 measures as cases rise

You bring up some good points, I agree the vaccine was a miracle and I hope we can find many more cures to all the diseases out there. However, I personally am more gloomy about how countries are witholding information about the origins of the pandemic, nations without domestic vaccines have been left behind with who knows how many dead, lockdowns + economic pains + supply shortages + postponed elections have led to terrible crises like the war in Ethiopia or the overthrow of democratically elected leaders like in Myanmmar.

As for the "community," that has slowly been disintegrating in modern societies around the world. I can only personally attest to not feeling like I belong to one myself, whether it be a neighborhood, church, workplace, or anything else that people find community in. Not necessarily for lack of trying, but for not finding a group of people who deeply understand and accept me - aka loneliness.
You can still install windows 11 straight from an image and it’ll ignore the processor and TPM requirements - they’re considered ‘soft’ requirements even if Microsoft doesn’t say so outright. I currently have it running on my desktop with an i7-6700k and my laptop as well with an even older i7 and TPM 1.2.

You’re absolutely correct in that they ‘drew a line’. They have a specific set of guidelines[0,1] they want CPUs to meet going forward, and it’s more of a matter of ceremony and certification rather than anything concrete nor technical.

It's crazy to me that Windows 11 has already been released and yet they're still adding what should be core functionality to the OS as an after thought.

If they are so set on redesigning Notepad and/or all system apps to use the new design style, why would those not be prioritized and included in the original release from day 1?
> Would you mind explaining a bit further what you are referring to?

TL;DR: Software should not be tested or controlled by devs remotely on user's side.

Otherwise it is "vendor lock".

I know there's a lot of different people with different priorities, but people (as a generalization) are complaining about things still being outdated and not supporting dark mode in Windows 11 while simultaneously (although probably a different set of people) are apparently appalled that Microsoft would dare update a legacy application.

Personally I think the best thing Windows 11 has going for it to stand out from more than just being a nicer coat of paint on Windows 10 is removing as much legacy things as possible and update to "modern" standards given they've already put a hard line in the sand regarding modern CPU compatibility.
Tilda Swinton as Libraries
It's so sad that Cloudflare only responds to public fires like this but is often completely deaf on all the channels you're "supposed" to use.
Phoenix has a much smaller footprint than Django. I would put Phoenix closer to Flask in terms of how much work the framework does for you. Phoenix has lots of generators which make hooking into the database layer very easy and bootstrapping new endpoints is also fast in Phoenix. Django makes more decisions for you (authentication, permissions, admin, the ORM to name a few).

In the Phoenix ecosystem you bring each of those pieces in as you please (auth generator, Ecto + other libraries etc). So I would say if your really want to move fast, you will still get further, faster with Django - but the trade-off (as other posts here have alluded to) is that once you need to implement custom features or optimisations you will often fight against Django (or need to wade-through half a dozen classes in some inheritance tree to find the right hook).

Another big difference between Phoenix and Django is that building websocket services in Phoenix is an absolute breeze. The Elixir runtime maps perfectly onto any type of messaging service.
Holy cow...
I can assure you surface compaction is still a thing. Never seen sheep's foot rollers, but I have seen really big square rollers. A square doesn't roll very well, but that is the point: every tumble it makes it crashes into to soil. Problem is it is extremely uncomfortably for the operator, even if pulled by a really big tractor. These rollers are called impact rollers.

Also in use are rapid impact compactors, basically a crane pounding away. Vibro compaction, where 30m long vibrating needles are driven into to soil. And best of all, Dynamic impact compaction: lift a big chunk of concrete 50m in the air and let it free fall. Then do it again and again... See https://vimeo.com/415927984 @ 3:15
Weather derivatives are a thing, traded on CME. They have a centralized clearing function. It works nicely.

Prediction markets exist in many places with centralized exchanges/clearing houses. If there is enough volume, the market works, if there is not, it doesn't. They exist for most financial securities, commodities, sports, various weather events and probably many other things I'm unaware of.

They mostly use a central party and (i'll guess) a pretty standard sql database. Before the financial crises some of the trades were done bank to bank with (horror...) no intermediary.... like people just called each other and kept distributed records and settled up...
can you choose line endings as LF not CRLF in Notepad?
Doubtful. Some basic stuff is supported across almost all devices (interface names, speeds, status,...), but more detailed info varies widely between vendors, their OS versions and devices. SNMP SET support is mostly a joke and not worth the trouble. Better use whatever API each vendor came up with.
Assuming you're a Windows or WINE user that uses notepad somewhat regularly, I challenge you to use the new notepad for a month and then try switching back. I'm very curious whether you'll miss more features or be more happy about those five pixels.

I do agree, it's completely unnecessary, but I'm still surprised the "bullshit" is limited to those few pixels of menu bar and some actual problems were fixed instead. (This feeling and this thread really go to show what people expect from the brand.)
This is nice. I run dark mode everywhere and I used to use notepad for quick notes and stuff. Problem is that notepad is a giant wide window so it would burn my eyes out when opened, so I had to switch to something else. Now I can use it for that purpose again...
Providing I move to Win11 that is. Still not a fan of the task bar lacking features I use a lot.

I would get them every day and there were rarely more than one story in them that I would actually read.

Maybe the problem wasn't the paper.

The New York Times' target audience isn't grad students. I don't think it's all that surprising that you weren't all that interested in it.

As we get older, we change. We learn more. We become interested in more things. Depending on how long it's been since grad school, you may be interested in what's in the Times now.

I know that I don't like the same thing I did back in grad school. I certainly know that I'm interested in more things than I was then.

When I was in grad school, I couldn't stand the taste of tapioca. Now, I love it.
> the cost of housing is high, so let's build more so we can make more money

That's how markets are suppose to work. Make money by making something people want to buy.

It shouldn't require a corrupt city council to have enough housing for everyone that works in an area. If you want to stop growth then prohibit office construction.
Cool! great work.
I learned something new today. And not about strings in C.
Cities do allow housing of different densities depending on location (zone). Why would mixed density make it any better, especially when the article/study already says people prefer low density housing?
Then you could just keep a local copy available as a fallback in case the latest code cannot be fetched. Not doing the bare minimum and screwing the end user isn't acceptable IMHO. But I also understand that'd take some engineer hours and report virtually no benefits as these outages are rare (not sure how Roomba's reliability is in general on the other hand) so here we are.
often things that are wide are not thought of as deep, and that there must be more misses than hits in a wide approach, those factors being taken into account I don't understand the assumption that one is boring because only hit a few times and not affected deeply with an approach designed to achieve exactly that effect.
> What app do you use to manage your photo library?

It doesn't seem like a good idea to tie a photo library to any app. Applications come and go, the photo library should last a lifetime (or more if you pass it on). You don't ever want to get caught with your photo data in some proprietary structure when the app that created it is no longer available for whatever reason. My photo library certainly has outlived many applications I've used to process the photos.

After processing I store them in just a directory hierarchy. Top level dirs for each year, event/topic subdirectories under each year. That's it.
there's a reason it is called the Internet of things, and not the "local network of things". Even if the latter is probably what most customers would prefer.
> music making device as easy to use as a mobile phone camera

The technology is kiiinda there, look at the iPad music production stack. If you have what it takes you can put up a complete track only in your iPad.

I think there's at least two big issues:

- Iterating on music until "it's good enough" is not as fast as iterating on a picture or video where you can do multiple takes and check exactly what's going on in your screen.

- Conveying your feelings with music is kinda like learning a new language, and then becoming a poet. Like for example everyone has access to sharing text now, with your friends or with the world, yet not everyone is making poems or short stories that convey their emotions effectively.
yes, cloudinary has this feature. you can create X amount of name value pairs on the assets. its in the ui but also in the api - https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_refere...
It doesn't allow specifying which OpenType features to keep and which not, though. Tabular numbers are useful, and I've also found some use for small caps for example.

FontSquirrel also has a similar generator and converter which in theory gives more detailed control over which features to keep, although in practice an attempt to subset Fira Sans or FiraGO produced a font with broken ligatures, so not all that useful for me, either.

In the end I've ended up just subsetting and converting the font myself using the Python FontTools.
I wonder if this is because there is a lot of old legacy code in the codebase, specifically for these older processors, they want to remove?

I can see the logic in wanting to make the Windows codebase smaller/leaner/etc by wanting to get rid of the legacy stuff.
Off topic, but I couldn't read this because the blog is in dark mode and doesn't offer a light mode. For a lot of people with astigmatism, dark mode is simply unusable for text heavy sites.

There are objective reasons why dark mode is worse than light mode, but I think anyone should be able to pick whatever mode they prefer.

See this for more info:

https://levelup.gitconnected.com/why-dark-mode-causes-more-a...

I have no data to back this up, but I suspect the main reason dark mode is so popular these days it's because there are a lot of users using devices in poor light conditions. The second big reason is probably more cultural, as dark mode looks more modern, unlike these damn boomer UIs from the 90s (sarcasm).

Some people argue about energy efficiency and OLED, which is true, but that seems like a niche use case to force dark mode on all your users.

Depends on the criticality of the service. I mean you're right about adding complexity. But sometimes you can just take your really critical services and make sure it can completely withstand any one cloud provider outage.
To add to this list, YouTube does an excellent job on its core competency — streaming high quality video without hickups and buffering. I've tried other video streaming services before, and none of them have the reliability as youtube. When I click a youtube video, I know it'll play immediately and throughout the video without buffering or hanging. I don't have the same confidence as other providers.
I assume it will be at least as slow to load as the redesigned Calculator, and bug me to rate it Microsoft Store every now and then.
It does feel weird, in general I'm averse to terms like "social imperative", but what I like to think the author is getting at is that humanity can get vastly more utility out of computing if we move away from this abstraction layer between the operations we want to perform and the hardware we perform them on. General purpose hardware is great when you're working out what sorts of things you want to do with it, experimenting, but when you already know exactly what you want to do it is extremely inefficient, and just churning out a machine that does exactly what you want is much better for everybody.
There’s also no reason for an internet connected app to crash on load when there is no access to the internet services.
Microsoft starts rolling out redesigned Notepad for Windows 11 for beta testing.
The biggest one that I always forget: don't schedule somewhere you really care about first. I make this mistake when I look because it's the place i'm really interested in that convinces me to start looking in the first place. But then I'm super rusty and do worse than everywhere else.

My ezinvoice suite of apps has a simple "Expense Accounts" and "Reports" app that creates charts with monthly and yearly expenses.

I can't say it's the "best" app but it may be worth taking a look at. There's a demo here: https://cherrypc.com/app/demo.html

There isn't much expense data in that demo to demonstrate those features but you can add some to get an idea of how it works.

I'll add there's an option to run those apps on your web server and in-house and modify the code to suit your needs.
I'm not sure a slight refresh of the Notepad UI is core functionality of the OS. I don't like Windows, I actually quite despise it, but I think the rolling release approach is far better than, say, macOS' yearly dump. You end up with features that are half-baked or pushed to the next year. Microsoft is taking a saner approach with Windows releases, IMHO.
I think we're all a little nervous after various Edge and Windows updates have either introduced adverts to the UI or even buy-now-pay-later predatory lending. These updates look promising, but MS really should pay attention to the sentiment they're creating around "feature updates" recently.
Please help if you can - I seem to remember reading that the preferred verb for the song sharing on zunes, per MS marketing, was "squirt," as in, "to squirt a song."

I doubt myself in this, of course, because it's patently idiotic. Is this anything you have the slightest recollection of?

Sure, the few remaining quality papers can (and do) introduce local editions for markets other than their "traditional" home base. Unfortunately, the economics aren't much different than they are for the regional paper that previously covered the area.

I say "not much" because there might be a chance that people would appreciate the combination of local news combined with the national and international coverage that would be shared among all these editions. But that, also, isn't exactly new: it's what these "newspaper chains" have been doing for at least 20 years.
Our society is being destroyed by purposeful misinformation on the internet. I don’t think this argument is what you think it is.
While this is a neat trick, the claim of "100x" speedup for the centroid computation is somewhat unrealistic, since I doubt that there are many practical applications where one wants to compute 10000 centroids for 10000 data points. The proposed technique is 50 % slower than the naive implementation for a more reasonable k = 10 centroids.

Anyway, JIT compilers are quite good these days. A naive implementation with for loops beats the fastest version in both cases by a factor of 5 (here with numba):

from numba import njit
@njit
def numba_centroids(X_nd, label_n):
n, d = X_nd.shape
k = label_n.max() + 1
c_kd = np.zeros((k, d))
weights = np.zeros(k)
dist_n = np.zeros(n)
for i in range(n):
label = label_n[i]
for j in range(d):
c_kd[label, j] += X_nd[i, j]
weights[label] += 1
c_kd /= weights.reshape(k, 1) + 1e-10
for i in range(n):
label = label_n[i]
squared_difference = 0.0
for j in range(d):
difference = c_kd[label, j] - X_nd[i, j]
squared_difference += difference * difference
dist_n[i] = squared_difference
return c_kd, dist_n
Who is telling you your preference is wrong? The problem is when people use the law to force their own preference on others. In residential zoning, that takes the form of forcing people into single family homes that would prefer walkable urban areas.
They should just open source the consumer level userland apps and outsource the dev work to third party contributors. It would save quite a bit of money.

I was a developer at a large contracter doing work for the Navy in the 1970s. Compared to today, there was almost zero code review, but an insane amount of testing, from the lowest module level to the highest integration level, both against the requirements and in simulation. We did not subcontract software. I often wished I could talk to the warfighter who was going to use my stuff but it never happened. Worse I never got any feedback on whether my stuff was even used. We did have quite a few ex-Navy people in our dev group and that did help.

It is not fair to make that comparison. Mail app is first-party app made by Apple. They will optimize it as much as possible and it only for macOS. Slack is a third-party app, run inside Electron which is cross-platform. A cross-platform that have to ensure that every platform that Slack have to account for OSes quirks. Mail app (email application) and Slack (instant messaging application) are entirely different beasts, they are not the same thing.

I'm glad that Slack only uses 600± MB of memory. Few years ago, it usually uses more than that, about 1.5 - 2 GB in my experience. Now I checked my Slack (and its services) combined memory usage is 400± MB.
