> Mariadb is far, far more popular than mysql these days.

It depends greatly on what metric you're using. If you look at the huge list of large, well-known tech companies using MySQL, nearly all of them are literally using MySQL (or a derivative like Percona Server), not MariaDB.

In combination these companies employ several hundred thousand engineers, building products on top of MySQL, not MariaDB.
A long short but I’m a PhD student in medicine with focus on bioinformatics. I have extensive prior experience in software development. Hit me up at i.am.filippov at gmail if you have something deep tech healthcare-related in mind.
Uh that makes no sense.

> If it was true, don't you think every single country in the world would obtain such a world-destroying weapon?

Countries already have nuclear weapons. They can very well spread radioactive material over large landmasses but what's the point?

> If it was true, then a single nuclear reactor would be able to power the whole world for eternity

I have no idea how you deduced this but it's wrong.
> Sounds very drama free for them (the singular them.. not the plural... sigh).

I don't quite understand this line, would you prefer they identify as multiple people? Or is the objection to using the singular them in general? There is a large historic precedent for using a singular them for people you for whom you are unfamiliar with their gender. Not even trying to be "woke" but if there was someone named Terry(about equal likelihood of being male or female), it makes a lot of sense to use "them"/"they" instead of "he" or "she".

Edit: did you mean that for the other members it wasn't drama free?

Evidently, it has something to do with "a joy" to use, not with objective attributes like the details of how things work: symbols, lists, Booleans.

Also, the grandparent makes no hint of this issue at all; ravi-delia isn't responding to anything in the grandparent comment.

Data is not short for anything. It's the plural of datum.
> Install every package of a different distro? In particular, I’d like to see someone do this for Ubuntu, Debian, and NixOS and watch them suffer. This was painful enough.

I'm not sure that would cause any suffering in NixOS other that running out of disk space; one of the big claims of nix is that it happily lets you install whatever you want without conflicts. Although they also have a somewhat different idea of what "install" means; you might have to still put in some work to surface as many programs as possible to a single shell's PATH.
Then ask our legislatures to change the law. Don't let private companies make cars that disobey the laws developed by elected officials and those they appoint.
Completely agree. I tried scaling down the PDFs but Ghostscript on the Raspberry Pi is far slower than just scaling the 1200px wide PNG to 800px. I still got very readable barcodes, and a 100% delivery rate on my first batch of orders, even with that downsampling.

I could be wrong, but I don't think pixel perfect barcodes are necessary with modern scanners. The only thing going for ZPL is the ability to store the label data as simple ASCII text.
Our experiences clearly differ, so I'm not really going to engage in whether or not you're right because I just haven't had that experience at all.

At the end of the day it's just two colleagues in a room, if you can't get anything done with that, there's either nothing to get done or you couldn't get it done.
California stops are weird.

If you're ok with a car just slowing down and yielding to traffic if necessary, why not use a "Yield" sign instead of a "Stop" sign?

We have "yield" signs for entry onto highways and roundabouts, for example, where the goal is to keep traffic moving.
> The feature, which appeared to violate state laws that require vehicles to come to a complete stop and required drivers to opt-in for what it dubbed "Assertive" mode, drew attention on social media and prompted NHTSA to raise questions with Tesla.

Emphasis mine; this apparently wasn't the default behavior. Though, it may not have been clear to users opting-in exactly what "assertive mode" changes about the system's behavior.
I gotta think there are some emails with some engineer "guies wut?" out there.

I always wonder how this plays out on a granular level. Some folks have to be thinking / asking if this is a good idea or not.

Labor rights are a patchwork. If you believe in them you should probably engage with strange bedfellows to accomplish the most feasible. Then, maybe when you get to the harder issues you might have shown more people why expanding labor rights is an attractive political goal.

Right now you're just coming across as someone who's going to be miffed to find out what's in California Labor Code § 1101.
No matter how you cut it if your definition of elite says that absolute majorities at the ballot box / in opinion polls are elites it's either wrong or not a very useful definition of elite
This is the same institution that railroaded Aaron Swartz and accepted donations from Jeffrey Epstein on behalf of Bill Gates (pedophile arrested at Gates' house). Anyone looking to these self serving institutes for morality or upholding the Constitution is in for a rude awakening.
The Economist is a British publication, and generally tends to follow stricter grammatical rules than what I assume is your American English. "Datum" is singular and "data" is plural, so The Economist have used "are" instead of "is".
"Recall" is the only term available to express a software update via the NHTSA's public notification process. It's just the word we have. And yes, it implies things that are salaciously untrue, which is one of the reason it finds its way into headlines like this.
I run a small agency in addition to my full-time gig. Every time a recruiter sends me a message I respond with a script that includes criteria for work that I'll do, work that I won't do, and interview limitations. I also include an agency hourly rate which makes most of them run for the hills. Every great once in a while I'll get a short-term contract out of it.

The lone full-time contract I took on came about from recruiter contact, but he wasn't one of those keyword carpet bombing mooks. I've only ever landed one full-time job without a referral in 20 years in the industry. Referrals and niche market sites (e.g. AngelList) are the way to go.

This should initiate a conversation into following the spirit of laws vs. authoritarian rigidity of law without nuance.

In high school there was only a handful of things I learned that were actually useful, outside of social experiences. One of them was a teacher who taught business and law classes. In a business class he shared with us, first saying he could probably get fired for telling us this, but that if we had good ideas, new we had a good idea for a business, then instead of going to university and getting $40,000+ into debt over 4 years - get a job and/or apprenticeship and work on your idea. At the end of that 4 years he suggested you'd be in a much better position than those who went into higher education; of course it depends on what someone's goals are. In law class he gave an example: in some states in the US there are very long stretches of road where you won't see anyone for awhile, and sometimes there are traffic lights on a straight road - with no intersection. He put forward to the question of what do you do if that traffic light is red when you come up to it? There's zero vehicles near you in either direction, there's no intersection to worry about cross-traffic, and so do you stop and wait for the light to go green, or do you go again even though it's red? I think every reasonable person would answer that they would go. E.g. A rolling stop in some circumstances isn't dangerous for anyone; and I also see police doing it all the time.

Of course AI deciding when to do it when it may not yet be accounting for the whole or an adequate enough of environment does add questions, and because it's not critical to self-driving, I believe it's a good idea to not allow it until that conversation can be thoroughly hashed out, as well as the technology much more thoroughly tested and evolved.

Edit: Lazy people downvote - find something better to do with your time, or some other form of entertainment.
That's really neat. I like how it goes bottom up. I usually jump into dev with a new language and have to look up every function. This way you build up your knowledge of the language API from the ground up. neat.

An invaluable source for information like this (that did indeed exist in 2001) is The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth. Knuth is extremely diligent in documenting the history of all algorithms he describes (arguably, TAoCP is the best source-book for the history of all computer science) and he has the following to say on the topic of Radix sort:

> The sorting method just described is not immediately obvious, and it isn't clear who first discovered the fact that it works so conveniently. A 19-page pamphlet entitled "The Inventory Simplified," published by the Tabulating Machines Company division of IBM in 1923, presented an interesting Digit Plan method for forming sums of products in their Electric Sorting Machine ... This punched-card tabulating method leads naturally to the discovery of least-significant-digit-first radix sorting, so it probably became known to the machine operators. The first published reference to this principle for sorting appears in L. J. Comrie's early discussion of punched-card equipent [Transactions of the Office Machinery Users' Assoc., Ltd (1929)]

> ...most people rejected the idea of radix sorting within a computer, until H.H. Seward['s master thesis in 1954] pointed out that... [<technical details omitted>]

Presumably, this is a method that has been discovered and rediscovered many times by many programmers and punch-card operators, but that H. H. Seward made it practical for digital computers in 1954.

PS. TAoCP is awesome. Even if you can't follow the more advanced math, just having this book on the shelf to look up stuff like this is lovely if you do this kind of thing professionally. Knuth is just a fantastic scholar and teacher. Just flipping through the things is a joy.
They're not drop-in replacements for each other, haven't been for years. Each has some unique features that the other lacks.
Agreed. In Ohio, I got a ticket for this exact behavior a decade ago.

That is great. I do a lot of reading before and only leave rooms for general suggestions such as punctuation, caps, spellings. I'd say I accept about 90%-95% of the suggestions.
You're making a lot of assumptions, including that the only difference between SMRs and older generation reactors is size. SMRs are also much simpler, with the express purpose of reducing operational costs. Maybe the operational costs would be higher, but we aren't going to know that without more robust analysis or--heaven forbid--trying out SMRs.
> How the hell trolls amassed so much money?

... by patent trolling
I agree. It's a shame the creator economy shifted so hard into Crypto. You can build a very "creator first" stack without any Web 3.0 technologies. I guess one thing missing that NFT and the like purports to provide is a "stake" in the creator that can grow in value over time. That's clearly not what Craig was looking for by creating this venture.
No-one said it's all roses and bliss. My argument is that mainstream software was, on average, more performant and more polished (and not considerably more buggy or unstable; possibly less buggy due to being less complex) than it is today. I was relatively happy using mostly the same software that everyone else was using too. Today, not so much; I find most mainstream software unbearable, repulsive, slow, full of annoying quirks & rough edges. I'm not happy using it so I don't. For me it's a completely different era.

I don't know if anyone is measuring this objectively, and I assume not. So we might not ever be able to say whether the claim is objectively true or just my subjective experience. But it's not fair to dismiss the whole argument by mischaracterizing it.
That’s a LOT of batteries…
Again, what happens if the oracle gets it wrong?

The problem I have with this scenario re: sports betting is that it decouples the trust of scoring games and paying out bets - which is not a "feature" for bettors.

If I'm using a reputable, "centralized" sports book, they have a reputation at stake. They have more of an incentive to accurately score games than a third party oracle. If they pay out in error, they are likely legally required to eat the loss and pay the true winners.

None of that is enhanced by web3 if sports betting is legal and regulated.
I make a habit of responding to each and every recruiter.

The ones who send me jobs I am way overqualified for, or simply don't pay enough, I tell them my current compensation package with the advice to send relevant offers in the future.

Realistically though, every external recruiter I have talked to since I got into my current big tech company has been a waste of time. They can't usually touch my comp package, and only the other big tech companies are likely to be able to (or internal recruiters).

I'd love to build new monetization streams for musicians/artists... something akin to Brave Attention Token, Podcasting 2.0 Protocol(streaming payments over Lightning Network), and Substack.

I'm a front-end dev and very into product management.

my.username@gmail.com
I'm working on https://rinse.one which is basically a simple text box you enter common queries/commands and get answers. I have many ideas but not enough time on my own. For example, next thing I have planned is to make the commands composable.

I mostly work on the backend. I would like to collaborate with someone who does the frontend (but backend collaborators are welcome too). I like keeping things simple. The whole thing (code and infrastructure) is open source - check out the "about" and "commands" links from the main site.
Just a guess, but lack of ability to embed it directly into other software without the technical requirement to then make that whole project GPL3. I suspect the OP would be happier with a BSD/MIT/Apache license.
Great take. I turned down a path into finance to go computers, and did so to target the reverse of what you notice.

Few other jobs offer pay and stability similar to a Dr. or Lawyer without the working hours and with geo-flexibilty. Few other jobs offer a shot at a massive personal liquidity event without the direct exposure to a recession like in finance. Few other jobs offer this pay for what's basically a trade without a tough physical lifestyle like working in O&G.

If more "normal" people went into engineering, as in the normal white collar types who are smart but go into MBAs/MDs instead, I think we'd see interesting social impacts as more people discover that you can do flavors of digital nomad work without being the stereotypical tech bro. I think this is just starting to happen with MBAs who go into TPM roles.

Eng paths re-enanble lifestyles that I feel were lost post-1970 for much of the general working population. Now, you can live and work nearly anywhere. No requirements to suck it up in Cleveland, NYC, whatever for the kids because of good schools and a good local white collar job. If you want to pack up and go to Europe, you can grab a visa from big US tech there, or small startups. Just meet the right recruiter. Wild stuff.
How to keep up with web development without falling into despair
in the 20 years I'm surprised that some company that makes both sources and headsets (sony, apple) haven't made their own proprietary protocol in parallel
Yep, short and sweet. If they can't answer that then they aren't worth your time.

Works most of the time for me.
I think this means that your compensation reflects the cost to your employer should you decide to quit.
It highly depends on the products.

I never had issues with my BT speaker.

I switch it on, it connects, and the PC automatically switches all output to it.
According to the NHTSA[1]:

>A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Manufacturers are required to fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund, or in rare cases repurchasing the vehicle.

So basically, regardless of whether the fix is a software or hardware update, any issue a car has that "creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards" falls underneath the "recall" banner. I can see the benefit here; a recall generally gets a certain level of publicity that a "software update" might otherwise not. It might not be a bad idea for people crossing at stop signs to think, "Hmm, Tesla approaching, let's exercise just a bit more caution", until this is resolved.

I'm actually shocked that this only installed 12,232 packages and uses 250GB of disk. I mean, that's not small, but it's actually sort of reasonable.
