The trouble is, when you say it's OK to infer "from the current code" that includes your function call, which is the thing where you're surprised it happens.

There's no coherent reason why it'd be OK for Rust to conclude that x is a u64 from

let x = some_u64.add(6); // the u64 type implement Add returning a u64

and yet not OK for Rust to conclude that x is a u64 from

let x = someFunction(); // someFunction was defined to return u64

You had to explicitly change the return type of the method to cause yourself a surprise, Rust won't chase this rabbit through a warren, every individual function has to declare the types of its parameters and returns, so if you'd changed the function body not its declared return type, it could not have caused any change in type inference in other functions.
Having implemented multiple programs in GUIs for GUIs (with GtK, UIKit and dabbling with AppKit)... I must say that I have my past self every time I want to go back and look how something works. At least with SwiftUI / reactive things the code can be searched and navigated and doesn't take ages to load.
It's not only jargon, because a lot of it is used as watchwords or shiboleths.
I always wondered how early Mac OS X developers learned to navigate XCode and Cocoa. Were they all just ex-NeXT programmers?

I bought an old copy of the Hillegass book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, but I'm guessing most people learned from Apple developer docs that I never saw (or guess didn't know how to find back then)

As an aside, I don't miss the old programming books where each chapter just showed you how to use some GUI elements and they never got around to showing patterns on how you would actually create a usable application.
So the article mentions:

Since it says:

I assumed that by then the employee had given back the key, but I guess I was making a few assumptions about when this happened, and when the device had been installed - they don't actually say what date the RADIUS logs revealed they had accessed the network.
I barely read the tweets (I refuse to give more than 5 min of time to crypto news) so shame on me in advance if this has been covered:

IMO the last few versions of the Classic MacOS were the peak. There was a lot of hate for Aqua and the fisher-price look. Remember the pinstripes?

Tiger was a big improvement. And, the earlier versions of OS X still look way better than what we have now.
Don't need it :-) I just write my code the old fashioned way.

You can set the calibration mode to manual using either the serial port or a pin on the mh-z19. Mine is configured to manual and after a few months it still reads reasonable values for outside air.

But yes, the default is autocalibration. But honestly, the difference isn't that bad, it's probably like 100ppm offset for stale room air from outside, and 100 doesn't make a huge difference when you are trying to measure around 1500.
"Access Path Dependence" continues to plague our computers because they are a built-in assumption of file systems.

This is really showing its age. I want my computer to think in terms of what data is, where it came from, any other metadata I received it with, and any metadata I've added, notably, but not primarily, the various "places" I've put it.

The fact that I can't retrieve the URL I downloaded anything from, years later, no mater how many times I've moved it, is just shameful. It's cheap information our tools could be preserving but aren't.

So if you ask me what I think of the relational model, I'll tell you: it's a good idea and we should try it.
If you're going to compare that way (and I contend you shouldn't) at least normalize by programmer hours, or take into account growth.
Why is everyone pretending that the metaverse is something new? It literally takes a moment of research to see that it's not a new concept at all, and that it's extremely basic at it's core.

Dynamo seems nice for some very specific use cases, but there are others where it falls short.

There's limits on how big your data can be, which is a little annoying if you want to use it to store a couple larger things alongside all your small data.

The C# API is absolutely painful IMO, and makes it easy for new developers to use it in a way that you would have been better off grabbing a different technology.

I suppose one could argue S3 would be the better choice for large payloads, OTOH I'm a fan of minimizing potential points of failure so if we already are using DynamoDB I'd rather not toss in an additional S3 integration that could break or need maintenance later.
SPAC does the same. See also the Nikola story (the fraudulent electric vehicle company).
Oh, no-one here is claiming that their idea makes any financial (or technological) sense, just that their idea is indeed storing it on the blockchain.
Now - why rapid - in general because it will be a bank run. People now assume that the dollars they have in the banks (and in notes) can buy them a part of the world economy - when they realize that this part shrunk they'll try to sell dollars and buy something else - adding to the dollar decline.

I don't know - most probably it will still be much slower than bitcoin maximalists imagine (see for example https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/inflation-is-up-but-the-in...). Maybe it will be like going bankrupt: “Gradually, then suddenly.”

Why do people constantly talk about the Government funding things? The Tax Payer funds government spending, the government simply allocates is, so to spend X 100 million + requires cutting other services or raising taxes, neither of which are popular.

Taxation also causes all sorts of other issues since a large percentage of the population don't pay tax (or much tax), so then there are issues of fairness. Add it to VAT? Income tax? Corporation tax?
I'm not sure that's true at all. Coming out of school pre-Web when real information was much harder to come by (even job postings), I sprayed and prayed a lot of resumes to HR departments. (And my first engineering job came through one of those.)

If a person were to commit fraud they would do it on big, high value transactions. Fraudulently buying a pizza isn't really all that much payoff for our fraudsters after all.

They will buy stuff that's expensive. This means that to credit card companies, the bigger the transaction, the more likely that they will have to spend time and effort on fraud investigations etc.

Man hours are expensive though, and as such it is important someone pays for it. And well, that's where the percentage system comes from.
FT usually (at least in IT) implies a way to switch/defer/transfer the task to other node without an interruption (or a very minor degradation) of service.

A synchronious replication of a VM would be an example of a FT service (so it can continue to work without losing the current state). Failover is a process of restoring the operation with losing the current state (so vmware's HA is clearly FO if you dig below the marketing bullshit).

Described behaviour of the Task Manager is not FT, FO or HA.

Other commenters provided good variants, personally I would go with "Graceful Degradation", because it proceeds with a minimal functionality only if there were problems with normal operation.

> Now everyone has it, there can be far more bubbles.

Yeah, I feel like this is the issue. I've heard the theory that in the past, every village had a village idiot. The internet has enabled all these village idiots to find each other and to broadcast their idiocies. They feel strengthened in finding like-minded people and feel vindicated in their beliefs.

Due to the size of the group and how vocal they are, they're now also pulling in people who might have previously ignored the village idiot because everyone else did.
Ahh NextStep. For some reason I was only thinking of Mac OS. Possibly because in 1988 i was a kid with an 8 bit spectrum clone who only saw NeXT machines in magazines ;)

> It's even written out by default in .to_csv, like just... why? Do they not know how csvs are used outside pandas?

In the vintage apple groups and subreddits Tiger is preferred over Leopard because it runs on more hardware and it's the last version that allows Classic mode that runs classic Mac OS applications.
It's a weird balance between variety and uniformity. The whole key to Lego is that you can connect just about every piece to every other piece, either directly or indirectly. It's a system, not just a toy. But at the same time Lego tries very hard to put something unique in their new sets so that you can't make the design unless you buy the official set (or the one unique part at some ridiculous mark-up through set breakers).

The trick then lies in being able to simulate the unique pieces with assemblies of ordinary pieces or pieces that you already have (not always possible), and to use those unique pieces that you do have in new and creative ways to start treating them as ordinary Lego. Some builders have taken this to an entirely new level, for instance in this castle there are all kinds of bits that have been used in ways that they were definitely not intended to achieve a novel effect:

Modafinil especially with coffee absolutely feels like a clasic stimulant IF I've taken a long enough tollerance break.

I see only benefits -- maybe I'm a little bit too talkative and too many things seem interesting/worth exploring/doing, but for a pilot, that would he detrimental, I'd think.
I often say "I dunno, but I'd love to figure it out" because its true. I enjoy learning how to do new things and the reaction i usually see from others is revulsion and rejection. People get set to teach something and I'm already asking the nagging "but doesn't this invalidate that rule?" questions with complicated answers they were never comfortable with anyway. Or reinventing a wheel that works fine because i want to know how it works inside.

Conversely, admitting you don't know and accepting assistance with meek grace makes one very popular. Almost everybody loves to help others. If the goal is to build a team, make friends, increase the social cohesiveness of the enterprise, then its a good thing. If the goal was actually figuring out the solution to a problem, then maybe not so much.

I don't think a lot, I have no problems with UTF-8 strings (unless you speak in the source code, haven't tried), faster than c and rust when it can, ofc, I saw a rust program, made my own with zig, and it's fast , and I didn't even optimize that much.

Compiling is faster than rust and C a lot of the times

We have packages, and a good few, thing is, this is no rust big, we don't have mozilla nor to backup and work into it.

I don't think is overpromise, Vlang is overpromise, zig atm, is slowly getting there, no promises on when

Speaking as a guy who used to break into stuff for fun and exploration, lockpicking is a primary skill and the #1 best way to get through doors. Used it a hundred times. Only busted a door once, but that was a special situation.

Tension wrench and triangle rake. Works 80% of the time. And if that fails there's usually more doors to try.
Good question. The programs themselves are generally good, as far as I’ve experienced, but the culture around them is often quite toxic. Many kids are treated like race horses. I’m not sure how effective they are on net. Most highly successful people seem like autodidacts that end up finding the resources they need one way or another. Would guess the best way to create more of those people is just to keep a lot of doors open and hope someone like that walks through.
It explicitly says sRGB which has commonly agreed white spot of 6500K. And thus it's reasonable assumption that photo of neutron star displayed on common monitor would have such color.

Infinity is a well understood mathematical construct. I don't know what is the issue with evaluating limit value of some function, in this case color, "at infinity"? Nowhere it says it's physically possible.
There was additional fun when XFree86 started showing up in that new Linux thing around 97, roughly around Bo in Debian. Around that time you needed to do some math to figure out the dot clock rate for your CRT. If you got it a little wrong, you'd need to Ctrl-Alt-F1 into a text terminal to try again; more wrong and the deflection coils would buzz louder; really wrong (allegedly) you could burn them out.

There were plenty of rumors about an Apple phone around that time, but it was generally referred to as the "iTunes Phone." And the mockups were significantly more hideous: https://web.archive.org/web/20070630183849/http://www.applei...

Five months after Mac OS X Tiger's release, the iTunes phone was unveiled: the Motorola ROKR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_ROKR).

You can find some fun things in the old MacRumors archives (https://www.macrumors.com/archive/). For example, a post (https://www.macrumors.com/2005/07/29/steve-jobs-on-itunes-ph...) from July 2005, two months before the ROKR, and two years before the iPhone:

Customer site, big insurance company. The started documenting cables and labeling them to get rid of old faulty documentation. Half way through their security department forced them to stop. Why? If an attacker gains access to the documentation he would have all the information he needed. So, the had three types of cables: old ones with faulty labels, cables with right labels and unlabeled cables. And then there was me, in the server room at 3 a.m. tracing a cable by pulling up floor tiles because the cable was handmade and the rj45 plug wouldn’t fit into the new switch we installed that night.
> ArrayList explicitly manages a contiguous region of memory, so I don't see the problem with exposing it as a slice as part of the interface.

It used to be that you'd get an allocator by taking a pointer to the allocator field (&gpa.allocator), in 0.9.0 that was changed to a function call (gpa.allocator()) and thus broke _a lot_ of things.

Exposing all these fields seems like it'll cause challenges when trying balance backwards compatibility vs breaking changes.

Honestly, some work environments are just shit. If you don't have a sizeable stake (co-founder), start looking around.

If however you find the same situation repeatedly at different jobs, then you're either 1) too critical, 2) your ego falsely wants to believe no one else is working as hard, or 3) would rather run your own show. Worst case scenario it's #3 because running your own show is hard, exhausting, fun, etc. and you'll never be happy working for someone else.

> Zig still can't proper handle UTF-8 strings [1] in 2022

There's plenty of discussion on the subject in basically every HN thread about Zig: the stdlib has some utf8 and wtf validation code, ziglyph implements the full unicode spec.

https://github.com/jecolon/ziglyph

You might not like how it's done, but its factually incorrect to state that Zig can't handle unicode.

> In a `recent` interview[2], he claims that Zig is faster than C and Rust, but he refers to extremely short benchmarking that has almost no value in the real world.

From my reddit reply to this same topic:

This podcast interview might not be the best showcase of the practical implications of Zig's take on safety and performance. If you want something with more meat, I highly recommend Andrew's recent talk from Handmade Seattle, where he shows the work being done on the Zig self-hosted compiler.

https://media.handmade-seattle.com/practical-data-oriented-d...

Lots of bit fiddling that can't be fully proven safe statically, but then you get a compiler capable of compiling Zig code stupidly fast, and that's even without factoring in incremental compilation with in-place binary patching, with which we're aiming for sub-millisecond rebuilds of arbitrarily large projects.
