The trend is in the opposite direction.

TypeScript enables JavaScript programmers to benefit from static typing, and is seeing widespread use. Python now has type-hints.
Thanks! Are you sure the test track doesn't require a review?
Based on this comment [1], my impression was that it does, but I can be wrong, of course.

IIRC, in a recent thread about zstd, someone claimed brotli was faster. Perhaps one needs to look at whether the sample being compressed is web stuff.
You can disregard a combination of log4j-api+log4j-over-slf4j (as is used by default by Spring Boot) since the actual vulnerability is not in the Log4j2 API, but rather in the actual logging implementation. So forwarding of the Log4j2 API via slf4j to logback is unaffected.
Given a network like the Internet, things like Facebook and Twitter naturally emerge.
I'm curious about the disclosure of this vulnerability and why it seems that no prior notice appears to have been given by the researcher who published it. Is it because it was already being exploited in the wild?
Just had a conversation about this exact idea. Such a brilliant book
How are we still pretending that people who've received the vaccine (which should really be labeled a prophylactic) can't spread or contract the virus?
>"your choice of vehicle brand is fungible"

I disagree wholeheartedly. One of the things Toyota has done is to establish itself as a reliable automaker of quality. People specifically think of Toyota/Honda as the vehicle makes which are most likely to last a long time and put up with abuse. Contrast this to the reputation of GM or Daewoo.

You also have the human element, where people are attracted to brand marketing and how certain models make them feel.
I don't think it does with a patchset but maybe could with a changeset:

> When processing an UPDATE change, the following conflicts may be detected:
> The target database may contain a row with the specified PRIMARY KEY values, but the current values of the fields that will be modified by the change may not match the original values stored within the changeset. This type of conflict is not detected when using a patchset.

Also, if you have A and B, both initially the same, modify both with an UPDATE on the same existing row, and send and apply the patchiest to each other, I think they will overate each other and have a different state...

Edit:

I wander if there is a way to add a last_mod column to the tables and so only a more recent UPDATE would be executed from a patch set? It would only work at the row level but for most cases that should be ok. You could always create other tables for more granular control.

It looks like you can provide a conflict hander too that can replace the update statement, that could be useful for merging conflicting changes.

This could be exactly what I want for something!
Acura also charges an annual fee for remote start -- though it's through an app vs. fob.
Well are they installing the CR2032 battery in the key fob for that price. If so that will probably require a 5-10 minute transaction in order to sell and install the battery. Not making much money on that. Now if it is just the battery, it is a high mark-up. Though looking at Target they charge $6.50 for a two-pack.
A lot of UI development is resume-driven, or marketing-driven. Users buy hardware based on UI appearance, and regular changes make it feel fresh and new.

Those of us who use computers for more serious types of work generally prefer more consistency.

The goals are different.
This is probably the most on point comment in all of these RSS discussions.

I'm repeating what people with PhDs in psychology and psychopedagogy with specialities in measuring knowledge, intelligence and ability, which are currently implicated in ongoing research in the field have told me, almost verbatim.

There are currently a lot of unknowns as far as IQ. We have yet to accurately measure the cultural impact of IQ tests, in fact, we have yet to come up with a solid methodology for that, as all IQ tests are cultural artifacts.

We have yet to properly measure the fetal and epigenetic components of IQ, with differing impacts found that are still not totally accounted from.

We have yet to manage to completely square away at the Flynn effect, which is an incredibly large effect on IQ that may be fully cultural according to some psychologists, or based on non-cultural environment, as far as I'm aware or have been told this is still not fully explained.

At the same time, changes in relative IQ scores between groups are difficult to account for if IQ is as heritable as it seems to be,

There are a LOT of unknowns in IQ. It is far from "as well as understood as science can". We don't even know all that we don't know.

This isn't the Gell-Mann effect in action. This is someone trying to pass off a controversial opinion in a field (perhaps not amongst people whose job is to work on the tests for obvious reasons) as the established truth, and in doing so ignoring a body of research, which is far from unusual especially in these fields. At the very least the fact that I've heard one thing from multiple subject matter experts and something else from them shows that there is significantly more doubt and uncertainty as claimed in the original message.
The Breakthrough Problem, or Why the Drugs Don’t Work Like They Used To
I think it's 8 + 8 + 8 + 35. OP just worded things a little strangely. They're saying it's:

* $8 remote connect

* $8 destination assist
* $35 wifi connect

So $59/mo unless op has multiple Toyotas, I guess? I'm probably missing something.

The people? Like it or not developing stuff like this is not illegal, and expecting people to grow a conscience when their livelihood depends on not having one is pointless.

The unfortunately cynical answer is that we need to have representatives that will put laws in place to prevent this. It's both simple and complex due to the political landscape, but that's the only real long-term solution.
>Is the government a special, extraordinary group of people?

The people that work there? No. As an organization? Absolutely: In any democracy it is essentially an organization that is owned by everyone. It cannot (well, should not) make laws that are exclusionary to anyone because everyone owns a piece of it, and everyone contributes in some small way to making the rules.

With private property/companies the group of owners is much smaller, but once again they make the rules. If owners of private property don't get to make their own rules (within the constraints of the law) then it's really now private property.

If I owned a large building and turned it into a conference center and invited people to come discuss things then it seems obvious that I should have the right to decide to kick someone out if they are making trouble, turning meetings into shouting matches, and generally making it harder for my building to fill the purpose I want it to fill.

This seems to map pretty cleanly onto internet forums owned, operated, and paid for by a private group. They're paying for things, they have their own goals for doing so, and people that disrupt those goals have no right to make the owners waste their resources on something being ruined by disruptions under the odd claim that anyone from the public has the privilege of doing whatever they want there.

Preventing a private organization from removing disruptions to its purpose is inimicable to the idea of private property itself.
Robust hardware requirements, including TPM and secure boot definitely cause some short-term pain, but it's probably the right decision. Force hardware vendors to add these options, even if it costs more. Eliminate the cost advantage of leaving these out (even if it's minimal).

I have been thinking about this but for new things.

It’s interesting to consider that almost everything we purchase can be improved immediately. Usually there are cost savings that result in sub-par properties.

Some random examples:

-Injection molded kitchen ware can’t easily have through holes to drain water during dishwashing. This can easily be fixed :)

-New windows don’t always have high quality silicone sealant at the interface between the window and the wood.One can add this to prevent condensation in the gaps (use blue tape to mask everywhere you don’t want the silicone)

-New clothes don’t have extra anti-stain materials near the collars, which is where they wear out firstly

The former Soviet Union is generally considered an example. 89% of Politburo members were engineers and leaders like Leonid Brezhnev had very technical backgrounds

EDIT: to add some more context

Technocracy in the Second World (see: tektology) is quite common. In the First World the history of technocracy can't really be understood without studying the history of eugenics. This is also generally true of much of our science and even mathematical theory. Terms like "regression to the mean" have direct origins in eugenics theory

Take any of these arguments about Facebook, replace "Facebook" with "printing press" and everything still makes sense, which tells you what this really is:

Cultural elites wanting to control what their perceived inferiors think, believe, and most importantly, vote for.

The same class of people who wanted to regulate the printing press in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries are the ones who want to regulate the internet today.

This is what I'm seeing also. Youtube, Facebook, etc. all prioritize engagement. It's not only the megaphone problem, it's a quicksand problem. As soon as you watch some misinformation to even try to understand what the hell anti-vaxxers are claiming, then you get a ton of related misinformation promoted to your homepage. How the hell are technically ignorant people supposed to keep up with this? Youtube and Facebook will lump you in a category and show you what similar viewers watched.

Product management or software engineering for a founder hopeful?
Should pursue software engineering or product management roles?

Context:
I'm young and trying to make my next career move. My first attempt at a mobile app startup just failed. I built the mobile app, as well as the AI-powered backend myself. Now, I'm job hunting. I have a Master's in Computer Science from a top CS school but zero years of experience as a software engineer (I do have a couple of years of systems engineering experience from a large tech company). My end goal is to be a successful tech founder, playing the tech and product role.

Argument for Software Engineering:
I think working as software engineer would legitimize me as a technical person moving forward and enable me to write scalable and reliable code. Additionally, technical co-founders seem more in-demand than product people.

Argument for Product Manager:
I feel I have more to learn on the product side. I also think I can already build the MVP of low-to-medium difficulty products, albeit sloppily. I'm scared to remove myself from the technical side for too long and not be able to return, because I don't have years of formal experience in software engineering.

Thanks for your advice!

It’s now all hyper-pasteurized and shelf stable. Not even refrigerated.
I think your specialist comment here rings very true. Talk to anyone who grew up on a farm in a small town. Those people are often their own plumber, electrician, construction worker, mechanic, etc on top of their normal jobs!

There was a discussion societally around millennials (men in particular) not being as "handy" as their parents, but specialization of those parents is largely the reason. Sure, my dad might have learned how to use a table saw as a teenager in shop class or how to change his car oil from my grandpa, but I only had an art elective available (no shop class option) and my parents were too busy to justify changing oil at home for our econobox cars when the jiffy lube down the street would do it for $40.

Now is that a problem for society? That has yet to be proven, especially when you factor in the rise of online teaching through mediums like YouTube. My dad might not have taught me anything handy, but my internet "dads" on YT have taught me many things beyond even what my own father knows. It's a trade off and I don't see us reverting as a society anytime soon.
And, a lot of these consumer hostile moves are death by a thousand cuts rather than line-in-the-sand deal breakers. There are plenty of people who will not buy a Toyota specifically because of this, but I assume most people would be upset but still make the purchase, knowing they're getting a Toyota and all that comes with it.

>A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook's parent company, said the ads comparing the US Covid-19 response to Nazi Germany, comparing vaccines to the Holocaust, and the ad suggesting the vaccine was poison went against Facebook's vaccine misinformation policies.

Seems terrifying to me that Facebook has such policies in the fist place.

I agree that a shirt comparing US Covid-19 response to Nazi Germany or Fauci to Josef Mengele is poor taste, but to call a T-shits misinformation is a stretch.

Carbon tax is not being proposed on its own, it's meant to be combined with:

- Paying out ~100% of the take equally per-person to make it so it helps rather than hurts the poorest, a "carbon dividend". Poor people use less carbon on average (directly+indirectly) than wealthy people, so they will usually be net beneficiaries.

- Applying an equivalent tax on imports from countries that don't impose a similar tax, called a Border Carbon Adjustment, to prevent domestic manufacturing from being disadvantaged (and actually, it should give domestic manufacturing a boost, since manufacturing locally should be more efficient and hopefully include more green energy in its mix). In the cases where the carbon generation isn't known, due to being unaudited, the maximally pessimistic value can be applied, to encourage companies to audit their supply chain.
As with any tech, you can't trust marketing if you plan on pushing it to the limit. You need to either test it yourself, or in some rare cases there are reviewers who have already tested it. Most "reviews" for tech are extremely superficial though and certainly won't be testing HDMI inner workings.

For HDMI 2.1, there are a bunch of monitors being sold under that banner that don't have the full 48 Gbps bandwidth. For example the Gigabyte M28U is limited to half of that at 24 Gbps. [1] Gigabyte certainly doesn't want you to know this. On their specificaion page they just list it as HDMI 2.1. [2]

Similar nonsense was going on during the transition from HDMI 1.4 to 2.0. I really wanted HDMI 2.0 output on my laptop and held off on a purchase until that was possible. I finally bought an ASUS Zephyrus GX501 laptop. It has a Nvidia GTX 1080, which does support HDMI 2.0 output. The marketing for this laptop also seems to suggest that they're utillizing this potential, with claims like "You can also run a large ROG gaming monitor with NVIDIA G-SYNC™ via DisplayPort™ over Type-C™ USB or use HDMI 2.0 to connect 4K TVs at 60Hz." [3] The specification page mentions the HDMI 2.0 port. [4] However in reality I found out that this HDMI 2.0 port is limited to HDMI 1.4 bandwidth. It supports HDMI 2.0 features like HDR, but not the bandwidth. 4K @ 60Hz is possible only with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and you're limited to 8 bits, so no HDR.

I'm not the only one who found this out either. There are plenty of others on the ASUS forums. [5] Hard to say whether this was intentional misleading by ASUS marketing, or whether engineering messed up, or whether the feature ended up being cut due to time constraints. In any case, they still haven't adjusted the old marketing pages for this laptop that never shipped with HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

Reviewers don't tend to check things like this either. For example The Verge reviwed this laptop [6] and wrote: "Asus has a nice array of ports on the Zephyrus — four traditional USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C port, HDMI, and a headphone jack." They're just regurgitating the marketing material. There's no depth to it, the claims aren't verified. So people end up buying the product and then get confused why it isn't working.

When the new MacBook Pro came out this year, everyone was puzzled as to why the newly included HDMI port was only 2.0.

Well it turns out they lied. It’s 2.1 after all! \s

Jokes aside, it’s actually only 2.0 because internally they transmit a DisplayPort video signal and convert it to HDMI using an MCDP2900 chip[0], which is the same chip usually seen inside USB-C hubs.

So the new MacBook basically got rid of the HDMI dongle by integrating it inside the laptop.

This also breaks DDC/CI on that port and now I get a ton of support emails for Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) because people can’t control their monitor brightness/volume and think that the app is broken.

I really believe that what I put into the book should be a knowledge a person deploying production application should have.

> I just don't think small startups or side-projects should spend so much time getting all the configuration and moving parts right compared to just Docker+Terraform+(IaaS of choice).

It's the opposite actually! I show you how to avoid a lot of indirection and have a deploy script in 200 lines of Bash that you understand in an afternoon.

If you choose to use Docker, I have a full chapter of building containers, doing Docker networking, running containers with the Docker engine or with Podman like any other systemd service.

You can then write a small Bash script to install Docker and deploy your container or write an abstraction in a tool like Ansible. That's your choice and I think I present good arguments for both.

> deploy with bespoke Bash scripts is borderline irresponsible

Only like 5% of the book spends time talking about how to glue everything with Bash. Most is networking, permissions, configuration. The idea is to see how things are done with the most basic building block which is a shell.

The thing is shell code is how you interact with your operating system unless you are using C API. It's what most deployment tools use under the hood, not to mention that many tools are basically Bash (ruby-install, chruby) or based around executing it (Dockerfile).

> However it seems more like it would be a better guide as "Linux Servers from Scratch"?

I already renamed the book twice :). Not anymore, please ;). Most people actually told me they don't care for the name at all. Yes, there is a lot of Linux, but I named it after the intent. The intent is to deploy at the end. The fact that most of the deployment is configuration is implementation detail.
I've been a Toyota Tacoma guy for the last 22 years (and counting). Three Tacomas and I have a son that we're deciding on a vehicle for in the coming year. This is how you take someone with massive brand affinity, someone who would even likely pass that brand affinity to the next generation, and push them to look at other options. Charging monthly for a service that isn't cloud enabled? If this is true, Toyota, you are literally dead to me.
