How do you know what people 'intend' to use? Making it inconvenient to use alternative browsers especially when they compete with your own is manufactured consent not intention. I use FF on Linux and have to go through that crap every time FF updates even though nothing else has changed.
Godzilla 1998 popped up on streaming feeds recently. I watched it for the first time in decades and was happy with it. It got so many things right for a dumb blockbuster. I noticed Mayor Eberts as the bumbling mayor. This prompted me, like many others I'm sure, to read Eberts' review of Godzilla 1998. He panned it. Almost all of the critiques felt like they would be considered praise when compared against the blockbusters of today. The final line of critique, and imo the most valid, was the lack of message/theming in the conclusion of the movie.

I like Eberts' reviews. He brought good thoughts to the conversation. I think his harsh criticism of Emmerich movies was unwarranted. For a few years Emmerich had it imo.

The Mentorship Diamond – Mike McQuaid
A great way to grow is to be around people who can help you push your limits in areas of interest (where they're the experts). Even better is to find mentors who can devote the time to teach you and help you build shorter feedback loops. Do you have a mentor (or a few)? Do you want to discuss that in your next 1:1 with your manager? Can you help others by mentoring them?

It is much easier to produce a hit tv show or movie reliably than music. Music requires much more creativity and can't be manufactured as easily. Name recognition isn't even enough, you have the hottest people like Drake release an 15 song album and 2 weeks later only 1 of them is in the top 50. And there's no money in this business. The money comes from concerts and shit, streaming has changed the music business model forever
Yea it is odd that not all Google accounts are the same.

My favorite is that I cannot migrate my Nest account to a Google account because it does not support Google Workspaces accounts. I use it with my own domain and it is my private Google account.
Some of this equipment weighs 150,000 pounds. The dealership lets you demo the machine for a certain number of hours and then you get used to it.

It’s hard for an area to support more than a few dealerships because this equipment isn’t rotated out very often (10-20 years?).

It’s hard to unseat an entrenched player, but loss of right to repair is a big step towards an upstart moving in.

> even the most passionate X developers can't make use of the language in a full safe way

Is pretty much true for any generally used language X. You can write security bugs, invalid domain logic, code that kills people etc. in any language that’s popular today. However there are examples of proven correct software (CompCert, CertOS, seL4 etc.) so we will hopefully get there eventually.
If two players are competing in a single round of wordle, then surely the player who guesses the correct word in the fewer number of guesses wins, right? Then it seems natural to say that the better of two players is the one with the most wins after playing all possible rounds.

The only problem is that I think this definition leads to the possibility of non-transitivity, where A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A.
A rural school district that I work with has to close the entire district during bad weather a few times a year because of three unpaved roads that prevent buses from reaching a small number of students. If they only had one or two of these they might be able to avoid closing school.

In another district, a couple of buses have to drive more than 3000 miles a year further because they aren't allowed to drive on a road that has standing water across it occasionally, so they have to drive many extra miles to go around. Having one or two of these might avoid that. Bus drivers could potentially work an hour less per day for the same pay, which would be the result. Rural districts around here tend to pay drivers for a minimum number of hours worked per day.

There are probably many instances where a district having a small number of these, rather than replacing the entire fleet, could solve real world problems in a way that benefits the district, students, and drivers.
My experience with SNAP is different from what you describe. So is the experience of many people I have talked to.
From that angle, it sounds strange. However, if you talk about colonizing other planets, it's not "preserving natural life" anymore, it's establishing several invasive species by either creating an ecosystem where there is none or (even worse) destroying a (hypothetical) extraterrestrial ecosystem to establish one that would be useful to humans. There are definitely some people who would refuse extending their own lifespan beyond its natural limits, so it's not surprising that some have the same opinion for the species as a whole...
Because the article makes it sound like there is something special about this red earth that makes it edible:

> But only one soil, gelak, is edible and a critical ingredient in the island’s local cuisine.

Where my guess is pretty much all the soil is "edible", it just doesn't have the pretty dyeing properties that gelak does.
> "phone number used too many times"

Reminds me of that time we did a project for google. They couldn't give us accounts which was required to do the job for them, too much hassle even for them internally. We bought a dozen phone numbers and invoiced them instead. (There is some humor in invoicing Google for circumventing a Google security system.) Each phone number is good for a handful of accounts per ~2 years iirc.

This is in a country with ID verification for a new phone number (no, it's not russia/iran/china... it is germany). The person behind the counter was not happy when I showed up to a busy post office with a stack of ID verification requests. (I couldn't have gone at a quiet time: they scale employees and I queue for 15-20 minutes every time also for a 20-second package pickup, no matter which day of the week, which time of day, or which city I go in.)

Always read documentation or you will get burned by something completely innocuous. For example, that’s how you get Norway missing in your config file with YAML:

Oops, “NO” evaluates to false like 10 other reserve words.
This happened to me. I had half given up on my account since I didn't have a phone attached. Knowing my password and recovery email doesn't help. I emailed to some support email for google partnered people. I am not sure who I emailed but they responded that I was emailing the wrong person but they checked the status and it looked all good. I tried longing and it worked without any issue.

Edit: I was super happy to see a human response at that point and was very hopeful when I tried to sign in again.

>One thing I've always appreciated about Ebert's reviews is that he [has explicitly stated that he] rates movies from the context of the intended audience

For this particular review, if that's what he's trying to do, he failed utterly.

Power Rangers was a massively successful media franchise at the time this movie came out. There's essentially no chance that any child will see it without having watched Power Rangers on television. If he's really going to judge it according to its intended audience, its intended audience is children who saw the series on television.

Which means that it doesn't matter that the characters are color-coded, the monsters look phony, the martial arts is fake, or the marketing is filled with the TM symbol. Even the bad dialog and personalities shouldn't matter, if it's like that on the show too, since the kids obviously know about it and don't care.

I wouldn’t think so. If I get 99.9% of rounds correct with 3 guesses (and fail to find a solution to 0.1% of the rounds), and you get 100% of rounds with 6 guesses, I’d say I’ve soundly defeated you 99.9% of the time.
I don’t know how people came to believe they could just plaster their car with dead animals and it would turn out ok.
This is a misleading title here, there are as much as 70% fewer pollinators in circumstances where specific pollutants are present:

"Scientists studying air pollutants from both urban and rural environments found that there are up to 70% fewer pollinators, up to 90% less flower visits, and an overall 31% in pollination reduction in test plants when there were several common ground-level air pollutants present – including diesel exhaust pollutants and ozone."

That's just not going to be the most common interpretation of "Scientists find there are 70% fewer pollinators, due to air pollution" as a title.

Anyhoo, air pollution is very bad and governments should be laser focused on selling the benefits of reducing fossil fuel burning for transportation as a personal health benefit more so than as a climate change mitigation strategy.
I agree with you that making CPython faster, or rewriting CPython entirely into Cinder are more general purpose ways to make Python faster, while Jax is much more specific and limited and require to transform your Python code, often manually.

You miss my point that all of those efforts are making slow Python code run faster. So claiming that 'these two things have nothing to do with each other' is wrong, because they share 'making Python code run faster'.

Some of that involves making cpython faster, some of that means moving execution into c (numpy is mentioned in that PDF) and some involves jit and moving execution onto GPU or TPU (for example using XLA). The common part is 'making Python code run faster'. Some of that is automatic, some requires some manual effort.

Jax can jit some Python functions, but it cannot efficiently jit everything. That is what I meant by decoration and 'some effort'. For example replacing IF conditions by np.where etc. See also https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax-101/02-jitting.html

My background is in physics simulation, and I advise the Brax team, basically accelerating a physics engine written in Python run on accelerators, see https://github.com/google/brax
The entire physics step, including collision detection and physics solver, is jit compiled.

The first part of that shouldn't be true. I've used mine to receive all kinds of SMS and it always works fine _except_ for the services that just won't accept the number. Only run across maybe one or two of those, over some years.

For SMS from real people it works fine ofc.

I have been programming in C++ for a very long time (25+ years career). And no I don’t hate Rust at all. I welcome any attempt to make better, safer language that are still fast. I actually wish that Rust had gone one step further and implemented Dependent Types and Refinement Types. It would allow you to prove code correct in Rust. Which is even better than the current Rust guarantees. Having said that, there are about 5 million C++ users out there writing C++ software every day. So it will take a loooooooooong time before Rust usage catches up. If it ever will.
I don't have a hammer, but I know how to import it!

Not sure what to do with it, I'll just import "structural connectors."

Hm. Oh, look, a "match tool to connector" library! Wait, it builds a map the wrong way. I'll just import a "reverse map" tool.

Hm. Well, whatever, my build directory is a few hundred GB and somehow includes all of McMaster's web inventory, but that's fine, SSDs are cheap!

And now I know that I need a "nail" for the hammer!

Rapid tests are sold out at most pharmacies. When we thought my wife might have it we didn't bother looking.

I work at Cornell University and I can schedule a test at one of several centers on campus the next day at a specific time like Disney's Fastpass. It is fast and convenient.

Well, I used to be able to schedule a test like that, but I turned up positive and I'm not allowed to go back to get tested for 90 days because they say I might test positive despite being non-infectious.

The Tompkins County Health Department together with the hospital runs a highly efficient operation at the mall, right next to the mass vaccination center. It's more hassle than Cornell but still easy. It's free too.
Amazing that people use YAML if it does that.

Maybe. I guess it depends on the TLD. My country's TLD manager allows owners to lock their domains against transfers by registrars, or against changing the NS sets.

At that point, registrar can't do much to harm you.

Choosing your country's TLD for the most important domain is probably a good idea, if your country has well functioing and fair TLD manager. I certainly feel I have more of a chance when someone steals my country's domain, rather than some .com or .org. Country domain can be registered only to citizens, and so both the TLD manager and the thief will at least be in the same jurisdiction as me.

The Surprising Reach of Tonga’s Giant Atmospheric Waves
I have a love-hate relationship with YAML.

Hate:

- human-wise ambiguity of its syntax (If I understand correctly, you "can" indent array items, but you don't have to. And than one guys says "OK, I'm gonna indent", and another guy says "Nah. I'm not gonna indent")

- still no support for datetime as a first class citizen

- strings usually don't need quotes, until they do (I prefer to always quote)

Note that two of the above points are about allowing inconsistent styles, which is a thing I hate.

Love:

- it supports comments whereas JSON does not. If the IETF ever officially updated JSON to support C-style inline (and maybe block) comments, I would absolutely ditch YAML.
> Tesla …

For what it’s worth, Elon Musk is not Tesla’s co-founder. He came in as a late investor and I believe one of the terms was that he’ll get the co-founder tag.

Founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors, the company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, via a US$6.5 million investment, X.com co-founder Elon Musk became the largest shareholder of the company and its chairman. He has served as CEO since 2008. [0]

I didn't know it as kid, but the original TV series was created by dubbing over a Japanese show for the action scenes, and then filming new footage of the American actors for scenes when they're not in costume.

The white ranger was from yet another Japanese show, which is why he came later and didn't fight with the others.

So yeah, don't be surprised that this patchwork creation wasn't full of artistic integrity.

Based on what I see while consulting, I feel like more strange company behavior is attributed to cleverness than the real amount of stupidity/randomness that goes on. Here, too, there are so many variables and unknowns, this is not a calculable number. And even if they could, I am not sure they necessarily would. Bigcorps are not infallible and do not get everything correct with meticulous calculations on boatloads of data, much as they might try to give that impression.
> The compiler is allowed to look at this code and make it print 5. Or make it delete my files.

It is allowed to do this but it won't. "The compiler will maximally abuse me if I put any undefined behavior in my program" is not a concern that is actually based in any reality. In the above program the compiler cannot meaningfully prove that undefined behavior exists and if it could it would yell at you and raise an error rather than filling your hard drives with pictures of cats.

This meme has done so much damage to the discussion around UB. The gcc and clang maintainers aren't licking their lips just waiting to delete hard drives whenever people dereference null.

Go compile that program. You can stick it in compiler explorer. It is going to print 12345678.
