I agree. The important thing for me was my parents expressing their sadness about what they were about to do. They didn't like to do it but viewed it as right thing to do. They never did it out of anger. It's not "abuse" then because the child understands why what is happening to them is happening.

Right. Our entire network is down and IT has no idea, thanks for the help Karen.

You learn to keep things simple and make as few changes as possible so you can't be blamed for other departments mistakes. "Network is up, haven't made a single change to infra in a month. Find someone else to blame."
Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

I'm actually aware of cargo doc - it's really useful, indeed. It's still note quite "greppability" though; I can open `cargo doc`. I can just open the browser and google "rust write_u16" and immediately find it. I can keep VS Code open with my project and search for it there. But neither of these is greppability :)

It's been long since, so I don't remember all the details, but it was a government anti-piracy regulation at that time in some countries that you either ship with another OS or you pay MS because practically all computers sold without an OS were used with some pirated MS OS.

Such laws existed and may still exist, I remember Germany had some tax on CD-RW disc sales because "they were used also for piracy". All it took was "lobby" at the right level of government.

You can contact the committee directly, by phone or fax. Numbers are on this page[1]. You can usually leave a voicemail if nobody picks up.

For written communication, yeah most of us don't have a fax machine, but there are services online that let you upload a PDF to be faxed. They also accept snail mail, but it is very slow.

I created a Google custom search engine for the text of about 40,000 out-of-copyright books: https://www.locserendipity.com/Google.html and noticed that exact text matches don’t always show up. A RegEx search of the same repository yields many more matches for specific phrases than the Google custom search does. About a year and a half ago, the quality of results went down a lot. I agree something has changed for the worse.
The problem with the communications over the last two years is they have been values statements masquerading as science. If not everybody agrees with those values, you will have conflict.

Science doesn’t tell anybody what to do. People can completely understand the science if something but still feel a given course of action is inappropriate. And that is just fine.
> > One assert per test

> Was meant to make a failed test instantly communicate what's wrong with the unit under test. As frameworks evolve and our practices around them change, it's absolutely fine to come up with new rules.

To put a finer point on that then, you're saying the rule is obsolete if your test framework allows assert statements to accept message strings?

It's good to distinguish between general-recursive and tail-recursive functions. Tail-recursive functions can be transformed into code that uses a bounded amount of stack (no more than a single call worth). The latter kind of functions could be used freely on systems where general recursion is forbidden, and sometimes are a clearer or more succinct way to specify the required behavior (and sometimes not)

Some lisp-adjacent languages like clojure use a special syntax for tail-recursive functions[0], so that you document and know at compile time that you don't have a general recursive function.

Agreed and more. To claim we're churning through solutions is absurd, just off the wall perposterous. USB Micro was introduced in 2007, pretty much as a respin of the physical USB Mini connector- introduced in 2000. USB Micro is pretty much technology from 2000, with a couple small connector fixes. Whether we want to accept USB Micro as pretty much essentially 21 year old legal-drinking-age-in-any-country or only 14 year old tech, this connector has been around for a long long long long time, and in 2010, when it was "standardized" was a pretty obvious sensible choice with little on the horizon.

The big characterization I'd make between USB Micro and USB-C (2014) is that USB Micro was designed for one specific task: connecting 5W power (expanded (unofficially?) to 11W) and USB2.0. USB-C is a much more abstract connector, with gobs of general purpose data & a huge range of power ranges. For data there's two pairs of highspeed differential lanes (so, 8 pins), plus some other lines, for power there's way more amps (5A) & scalable voltage (really scalable with USB EP's 48V) meaning tons of juice. These are all opt-in for use. There's a very flexible power delivery range, there's lanes designed for general high speed connection use not just USB. There were upfront designs for how to run multiple protocols, not just USB, over the connector. With USB4 there's packet level sharing, so net bandwidth can be shared in more interesting mixes than 50/50 or to many destinations at once. USB-C can do just about anything. We can keep changing our uses of it to do whatever.

It's almost hard to imagine what else we might possibly want. Intel's mobile chip's onboard thunderbolt/USB-C ports offer 40 Gbps system-to-system connectivity, while desktops are still slowly marching towards 2.5Gbit ethernet. 10Gbit connectivity is still semi exotic to anyone but hardcore compute enthusiasts, but this connector has proven itself capable of way way more already, at a clearly mass-market price point.

If there's one innovation I would like to see from USB-C and USB in general, it'd be longer connections. I'd love to see a 10Gbit USB4.x mode that works over a 6m cable, for example. I don't think the connector has much to do with the range difficulties faced by modern, high speed USB. And similarly I don't see much push to create a higher-lane count connector, but that's another possible place where USB-C proves less-than-ideal long term.
I have read her book and I'm not sure she understands the issue other than it pushes all the right buttons.

Math is not racist or sexist or transphobic.

The training data might be, but we are the training data.

A search engine or AI telling us the the collective we of the internet are should really come as no surprise.

We need to change us before we look for a way to change math.

To be clear, these results are a perhaps uncomfortable reflection of who we are not a failing of AI.
Some people classify "spanking" as abuse however which we need to be clear about.
I'm sympathetic to the push back she's offering against the idea that algorithms are unbiased because "they're just math", but the evidence of racism and sexism presented in the article doesn't seem convincing to me.

> For years, Noble studied particular phrases — “Black girls,” “Latina girls” and “Asian girls” — that bring up pornography without mention of words like sex or porn.

If I search up "black girls", "latina girls", "asian girls" and "white girls" on google, none of them bring up pornography.
When doing the latter, do you at least explicitly acknowledge that there are other questions you have ignored and may or may not come back to?
So my function of 3-4 lines actual code with log lines in between (so maybe 8 lines) becomes a function of 20 lines, because of the code formatter changing those log lines and putting every argument on a new line. Now the function takes two third of my screen and I cannot scan it as quickly with my eyes any longer. I cannot simply skip log lines, but need to check for the end of the log calls instead. No thanks.

Oh sweet Lord. If some privileged kid who grew up in Westchester went to a good school and then straight to a FAANG company, does not mean they are automatically an irredeemable monster.

We all know that AI training data, for example, is notoriously skewed toward the perception of the world of a white male, but claiming that this is a conscious malice is quite something. Lack of experience, or understanding of the hardships of others, or even lacking humility, it's a matter of education, explaining, and encouraging personal growth.

The super-woke movement wants us to understand the handicap of poverty, while seeing privilege as a threat. But they are both a handicap.

Yes, function calls across the boundary are slow. It's fine if the functions do lots of work, it's very expensive for function calls that should be cheap.

For sqlite it might not matter too much, since any query does quite a bit of work.

As much as I like to see standardized connectors. USB-C in particular PD is really not robust. I have multiple devices that stopped charging on PD due to broken connectors. They still charge reliably with an USB-A to USB-C cable even with quick charge. On my ThinkPad the socket is too short for most plugs, I wonder how that can happen. It will most probably be the first thing to break on the device too. I already have shaky display port connection over the connector. And now for power tools, I call this planned obsolescence...
Oracle is quite a bit different, sure, but Seal is a lot more clear, and Clerical is completely clear.

That's pretty cool, and I've often wanted such a thing, but $80 is steep. How much of that detection ability would you be able to get in software on a laptop with a USB-C port?
The only DAO I've participated in was Bisq and it works just fine going on years now, resources get allocated for development and ops, plus the work done on marketing, documentation, etc. This is all paid for by trading fees on the exchange. Some people turn up and do dev work for one round, others participate for years.

Not sure what your threshold is for "interesting calculations" but running an entire tech business for years on end with no central governance or traditional corporate structure seems incredible to me. You can participate too if you wish, maybe try drive it into the ground for fun? Or maybe run a seed server with decent uptime and get paid for it instead?

Rather than theoretical putdowns based on some strange misconceptions of how this stuff works under the hood, that's a real life counter example.

Newspeak was primarily for the political classes, with the aim of absolute political control: ultimate authoritarianism of a system of thought (also see Sapir–Whorf hypothesis). By controlling language, all dissenting political opinions could be prevented, with the eventual goal that any thought that wasn’t the official line (such as liberty) could have only the single word ‘crimethink’ to describe it. Big brother and Emmanuel Goldstein (the revolutionary against the state) were fictions of the system, permanent idealised placeholders for the system. The system rules: people within the political system are trained by the system to be perfect cogs with zero independent thought, and the higher up in the hierarchy the less control and more mechanically thought-constricted the person became. Over time the system restricted thought, restricted language, and as the political class were replaced over the decades, the upcoming people were evermore controlled by the system. The only goal of the system was complete and total control.

The proles made up the majority of the population, but are almost invisible in the book, which leads to some odd Internet comments. The proles have zero political thought, and they live short lives of poverty. The proles are programmed to be interested in meaningless songs (produced by the versificator machine), meaningless persuits (such as lotteries), and other diversions. The proles do not speak newspeak, because they are not political. They certainly didn’t sing traditional folk songs (English aka ‘oldspeak’ is slowly abridged, removing all political words and nuances, and old literature is destroyed by rewriting it to remove all political nuance).

(Note: I mostly write Java these days, so my viewpoint is colored by this.)

Code is meant to be read by humans. Compilers don't have wetware eyes.
Homogenizing code that was hand-formatted for the situation ignores the art and craft of writing software.

I think formatters do have use as a "base" (e.g. Allman or K&R curlies?), especially for junior devs, but experienced developers that care about their software that has their name on it normally put their best foot forward. They would strive to present the most readable software they can put forth.

I've been writing software since 1981 and have yet to meet a code formatter that I like. `// @formatter:off` !

Same at my company. We're a small BU at a large multi-national, very flat whereas most of the other BUs ave lots of overhead - they fill lots of DI-type jobs with these folks.

Biggest issue is corporate expects us to produce the same Power BI type of output with deep slide decks for corporate level meetings with no extra resources. Our BU just got an award for best financial performance within the corporation yet no one ever asked how - we've been busting butt for long time, making and selling product instead of making higher-ups feel important while our CEO goes on MSNBC shows spouting off about how the DI crap is making the company so much better. Lots of created make-work.

I'm no right-wing nut. My co-workers could be the UN - but we don't care about that; we just do our jobs - we're good at it and making things cheaper and easier.

So glad I retire in less than 2 years. I checked quite a while ago. Been building my side hustle so once I go I'll be good. I do feel for those who I'll leave behind - it'll only get worse and less work will get done. M hope is they persevere.
Nuanced takes more effort to process. Nuanced often comes ofc as having a smell (i.e., not a good one). When most everyone else is nuanced then simple and direct sticks out.

3/4 of what I eat is organic, pasture-raised beef, pork and lamb from family owned farms, the rest is meat from supermarkets just because it's cheaper and sustainable meat is hard on the wallet. I hate cooking, I hate having to do it twice a day, so for me it's mostly grill/oven/pressure cook and eat 500g of meat twice a day with a little salt and spices. If I feel the need for more energy, butter or high quality organic ghee is added. Hunger is non existent, and I figure I'm naturally eating at a 20% deficit, because I have fat around me and my body knows it. Blood sugar perfectly stable at 5.5mmol/L, which feels incredible.

But vegs works great as a treat. Today I had a simple salad with my steak and it was lovely, though I'm a little gassier now.

Line length is there for a reason, it's to fit everything on the screen. Ignoring leading spaces/indentation or giving a 'fudge factor' doesn't help keep everything on the screen.

Ultimately there has to be a hard limit and it's silly to argue over special cases that should exceed it (because that's just another thing to bikeshed over in code reviews). Black sets a hard limit and enforces it--done, no more discussion.

IMHO it's a code smell to have a bunch of long lines of code that are all visually similar but vary in a tiny and easy to miss way. Here's another way to think about the code you wrote that boils it down to an even smaller and more focused intent:

new = set(data.new_items)
old = set(data.old_items)
to_add = new - old
to_remove = old - new

It's not exactly the same as what you wrote but you get the idea, and it can be made simpler if you're using set types to start with. It's kind of a nudge that if your intent is to do set-like operations like difference, intersection, etc. then you might want to use the right tools for the job instead of banging out more procedural code.
When we can now assess the weight of the American peoples' opinion (30%) regardless of what percentage agree on the measure (i.e. 100%) it is fair to say that the parties of this political system are not representing the people. Absolutely untrustworthy journalism from every direction has led to enormous support for someone who merely allows others to speak and questions their premises.
With all due respect, the title says DAOs are “forging a new ecosystem”. My comment is taking direct issue with the core premise of TFA. How does this qualify as a generic flamewar?

Sports replaced those hobbies. To play high school soccer or baseball in my area, you pretty much need to drop $2-$10k on club sports. They’re unregulated and you have to be careful as some of the coaches are assholes that hurt kids - one guy had 11-12 year old throwing curveballs.

Soccer is particularly bad. The big high school coaches basically have a side hustle running these club/travel teams as a funnel. Those soccer teams can be easily $10k, plus travel expenses of the team goes a a tournament. You’re basically forced to payoff a public employee to make it, which parents think is a big deal for college admissions.

My kid plays baseball and his nephews play soccer. I’m sure other sports are similar.
