He seems pretty chill about Rust, maybe even positive.

He hates C++ with a passion though. (Like CVS.) And .. it's understandable. C++ did not fix anything back then, that he cared about. Quite the opposite, only made things even worse for low-level code, because it was even more undecipherable by mere mortals. (And ... mostly still is.)
Makes sense, I have full control over my environment at home.

And I’m a bit confused. You say you drop your kids off on your way to the office. Why not drop them off and drive back home where they are now not?
I never understood this npm hell reference people are speaking off. Is this just the drama of updating an outdated inherited project? I've been working with node/npm since the early days and don't consider it worse than what you find in Java, Python or PHP.
Oh huh, I'm seeing this too. It worked at some point, not sure why it isn't now. I'll look into it.

Edit: it looks like this happens when the sites have gone down and are being restarted on load. I'll move them to my VPS, that should fix it.
Haven't those Google-made devices received an OTA OS change from (Linux-based) “Cast OS” to Fuchsia? Maybe that's got something to do with it?
I love using ru-DALLe to create artwork. I do several 3 hour runs a day. It's a "kind" of hobby in that it takes effort to collect the source materials and it takes effort to adjust the models to my liking.

Rather than calling these the final products, these are more like something I would take to an artist to produce some commissioned work in finer detail with their personal touch.

My guess is that this is due to that display running Android Things, which IIUC went out of support in January. There's something to be said for making sure users aren't running a browser that's not getting any security updates. (There's also something to be said for giving users a choice, but unfortunately very few people could actually make an informed choice when it comes to that).
I'm in the process of leaving a company after 6 months at the moment and I know I'm going to probably get this question forever now, but end of the day I have my reasons, and I think they're valid and will likely be judged as such. I think going in to any other job I'm equally as motivated as any interviewer to not have it happen again given how painful an experience this has been. In my case I wouldn't necessarily say it was bait and switch, but I wasn't made aware of something that would have led me to turn down the offer had I known about it beforehand as I knew it wouldn't be a good fit, but I also didn't think to ask because I was making assumptions based on all my pre-covid experiences. I guess I learned a lesson there.
Some clarification from Eric Hundman's site:

I argue that the interaction between brokerage and command centrism leads commanders to pursue four types of responses to orders they deem inappropriate: they can refine their orders, defy their orders, obey their orders, or exit their military roles. All brokers remain in their military roles in hopes of maintaining their brokerage-derived social power – command-centric brokers work with their superiors to refine and improve their orders; brokers who are not command centric defy their orders outright. Non-brokers who are not command centric feel little obligation to support their superiors and have little social power to lose by changing their social positions, so they respond to inappropriate orders by exiting their roles in the military. Non-brokers who are command centric, however, lack the power that might make them risk disobedience and, because they identify strongly with the command authority that issued their orders, they do not see exit as legitimate. They therefore simply obey.

> and give us a way to style a select box

How many end-users complained what a select box is not styled?
There's a trivial algorithm to do this in polynomial time. Let x = ceil(sqrt(n)). Let y = sqrt(x^2 - n). If y is an integer, then x^2 - y^2 = n = (x - y)(x + y). This provides the factorization a*b with a, b closest together.
If y is an not an integer, increment x by one, recompute y, and try again. If n is a product of two numbers that differ by less than n^(1/4), this will find those numbers in 1 or 2 steps.
Regarding tastysandwich's comment about having no time to read, my hack is to put the book I want to read in the bathroom, and never bring my phone with me. This give me some time to read every day, and I've polished off several books this way.

Regarding your comment about work/home separation, similar to what someone else has mentioned in another thread, I have the work laptop that my company provides to me, and my personal laptop. I have no personal files on my work laptop and no work files on my personal laptop. I don't even have any work-related app (Teams, Slack etc) on my personal phone (my thinking is that if the company wants to reach me through those on a phone, they need to provide me with the phone). I only have my work laptop turned on when I am working. When I close my work laptop, I am done for the day.
They must store something to route messages. Graph of random numbers is even better than the graph of actual numbers.

Why would anyone want to create a device that works with Google Assistant after this?
Glad to hear a good story. Sobering is a very good way to put it. For some of the parents, it just brings something else out of them. You lose the option to be a couch potato, forever.
Regardless of your preference and who manages the updates to your device, your contractual relationship was with the retailer and Lenovo (the manufacturer), not with Google.
My experience with Amazon was many rounds, several encouraged “coaching” sessions, and a suggestion that I come up with 2-3 anecdotes relating to each of the 14 values. That’s a big ask to take a pay cut.
It really depends on your usecase here. If the many application processes rely on the same OS libraries, versioned language runtimes (e.g. same python version), kernel version, etc. AND you trust the OS then it may make sense. However, unikernels offer the lightweightness of a container process with the security of a VM. In addition to this, memory ballooning[0][1] and other resource-elastic features are available to VMs too: allowng you to under-provision them and then later increase resources when load demands it.

Unikraft unikernels can also be managed using the same orchestration tools as containers, check out the talk at CNCF[2].

Between react and vue, which is better suited for adding dynamic components here and there to a server-side-render html webapp?
Halving spent a fair bit of time with Vue2/3 and coming from a Python background. I think to some extent the Vue2 to 3 transition is quite a bit like the Python 2 to 3 transition. It’s a big change, some controversial decisions, and the ecosystem is taking quite a while to catch up. However just like Python 3, Vue 3 is a massive improvement, I love the new competition api. I think it’s a great success and they made the right decision to push through with it.

How fun to learn about Kimball Chase Atwood, who started Atwood the Grapefruit Company, planting 16000 grapefruit trees "with an annual production of 80,000 boxes of fruit."

Wow, I thought I was weird for eating so much grapefruit, but this guy went all in..
If musicians want to pull their music off of spotify in protest, they should. If spotify wants to keep Joe Rogan on their platform, they should. I think think spotify owes Joe a platform, whatever the case may be about his using the n-word or other issues. Cancel culture is mainstream now, not just a leftist symptom any more.
I personally think Rogan will be fine. He makes podcasts, he can host them anywhere he wants and his audience will follow. He'll probably come out ahead if spotify cancels him.
You have to wonder how many people were harmed by this fraud.

And that's exactly what this is. The original paper was a fraud. No honest mistake can explain it. The reviewers committed fraud by not seeking competent input when they lacked the competence to do the math.

How many people under psychological care were given treatments and were harmed?

How many companies wasted on money on this and should be able to seek compensation?

IANAL, but this smells like litigation.

Sometime last year, I started doing these 24 exercises in TeX/LaTeX -- when I started, my idea was to show how TeX's very simple box-glue-penalty model (its "glue" is like springs with specified stretch and shrink) is yet general enough to do all the many things that Flexbox can do. I never got around to finishing it, and in the process I realized that much of what Flexbox focuses on are purely user-conveniences (e.g. allowing the user to specify "boxes" in a different order), and some of it (e.g. vertical typesetting) is actually nontrivial with TeX, though doable (and used by many in practice, wrapped into packages, which I was hoping not to use).

So my project is abandoned for now and the existing document is in a very unpolished state, but in the meantime if anyone is interested, take a look -- (it has spoilers for the CSS exercises, and most of it only makes sense if you look at the (La)TeX source code, of which I'm definitely not an expert): https://www.overleaf.com/read/ssmrvhpwrmpn
"Thanks for this comment."

Likewise.

What these replies about "uniqueness" seem to ignore is that the majority of traffic on the internet is so-called "bots". In other words, it is traffic from clients that are not Chrome, Safari, etc. It is ridicuously easy to be mistaken for a "bot" when submitting requests manually, if one does not know what they are doing. For example, editing a single HTTP header is often enough. "Bot detection" is more often than not based on laughably crude heuristics. What happens if the user makes a single request manually and that header is missing. There is nothing to check. In almost all cases, nothing happens. There is no penalty for reducing the amount of information sent. In any event, it is rather easy to unintentionally "blend in" with the majority of internet traffic, which comes from "bots".

Those professing to have superior knowledge about user behaviour, including Big Tech, still cannot tell if someone is submitting requests manually or not.^1 (Absent keylogging on the users computer.) Their superior knowledge of user behaviour only applies to users who use "modern" browsers that place high emphasis on graphics. Chrome, Safari, etc.

No one is going to try to advertise to a "bot", i.e., a non-graphical client. It would be ineffective. The online advertisig industry relies on graphical web browsers like Chrome and Safari.

Using a common browser with the default settings to try to "remain" anonymous comes at a cost. Default settings do not include installation of extensions, e.g., ad blockers.

1. Contrast this with the different question of determining whether or not a user is using a certain client, e.g., Chrome, Safari, etc. That is an easier question to answer. However detection of other clients is not done. I am never notified whether or not I am using, e.g., tcpclient, original netcat, socat, openssl, etc. How does one detect the difference. And assuming they could tell, then what. How will ads be served. The HN commenters replying about "uniqueness" fail to consider why there is so much effort to "fingerprint". It is driven by advertising which puts a monetary value on gathering user data. Using a modern browser, sending more data voluntarily to "belnd in", feeds the online advertising industry and ensures such surveillance efforts will only increase. As checkyoursudo suggests, the data collectors will "claim in their sales pitches to advertisers" that they know a great deal about users, regardless of whether the data they have collected is truly accurate or usefully informative. Feeding the data collectors "fake" or "non-unique" data is one idea, but another idea is not sending the data at all. For HTTP requests, the later works for me.
thiel isn't that talented or smart, but he did get hella lucky, and that's a sore point for him. so he's used his paypal riches on an extended PR campaign to make everyone believe he's something more than he is. literally every quote and quip i've heard from him is recycled directly from elsewhere, rather than being even a semi-original notion, but he passes it off as wisdom from on high. he wants more than just respect; he wants to be worshipped. if i ever met him, i'd tell him to just go the scientology route and found another fake religion already. he could even fashion himself up as the new new jesus.

> I suspect most of the performance improvements came not from being "64-bit", but rather from the new instructions in aarch64 (and even in armv7) over armv6 (which is what the 32-bit Raspbian has to use to be backwards compatible with the first Raspberry). So I don't think it is entirely appropriate to frame the performance improvements due to it going from "32-bit" to "64-bit".

Possible; IIRC, we had the same thing on x86 because the jump to AMD64 meant that you could depend on certain extensions (SSE2?) that didn't exist on all previous processors but which were present on all 64-bit processors. So it became a split where code compiled for 64-bit CPUs knew it could depend on those extensions without even needing a runtime check, which was nice. That said, my understanding is that for data-heavy workloads it really does help to move twice as much data per operation.
I think I'm going to be staying up late tonight lol:

---Prompt----

I am a children's book author and I will write an illustrated short story for you. I will start with the title, then the first page, then a description of an illustration in square brackets like so: [describe illustration here]. Then I will provide two more pages and illustrations. The subject of the book is a puppy that gets lost and then finds its way home.

Q: How does the book start?

---Answer---- (I just keep clicking Generate after it inserts the next 'Q:')

A: The book starts with the puppy waking up from a nap and noticing that its mom and dad are gone. It starts to get scared and starts to cry.

Q:
A: The puppy keeps crying until it falls asleep. [The puppy is shown sleeping in a bed with a teddy bear next to it. There is a window in the background with light shining in, and a door is visible at the side of the bed.]

Q:
A: The next time the puppy wakes up, it's dark outside and it's scared again. [The puppy is shown in a different room this time, with a nightlight on and a few toys scattered around. It's looking out a window at the stars.]

Q:
A: The puppy spends the whole day looking for its mom and dad, but it can't find them. [The puppy is shown walking through a park, then a city street, then a forest. It's looking tired and sad.]

Q:
A: The puppy finds a home in the forest and falls asleep. [The puppy is shown curled up in a bed of leaves. It's raining outside and the window is foggy.]

Q:
A: The next day, the puppy wakes up and realizes that it's not in its own home. It starts to cry again. [The puppy is shown looking out the window of the home it found. It's raining and the window is foggy.]

Q:
A: The puppy sees a light in the distance and starts to run towards it. [The puppy is shown running towards a house. It's still raining and the ground is wet.]

Q:
A: The puppy reaches the house and starts to cry. A woman comes outside and picks it up. [The woman is shown picking up the puppy and hugging it. The puppy is crying and the woman has a sad expression.]

Q:
A: The woman takes the puppy inside and starts to cry. [The woman is shown crying on the couch. The puppy is sitting on the floor next to her, looking sad.]

Q:
A: The woman calls the police and they come to take the puppy back to its home. [The woman is shown talking on the phone. The puppy is sitting on the floor next to her, looking sad.]

Q:
A: The police take the puppy back to its home and it's happy to be back. [The puppy is shown being reunited with its mom and dad. They're all happy and the puppy is wagging its tail.]

Q:
A: The end.
I assume it can already. The real test is whether it can write a story that people would enjoy reading (and not just as a novelty).

I use and like both.

Vue has single file components with isolated CSS styles built in by default. I really don't like the CSS conventions in the React world. Seems everybody has settled on CSS modules, but I'd rather not have two files that represent a given component. You can of course inline styles and use alternative approaches, but none come close to ease of use and readability of Vue scoped styles, while preserving component level isolation. I know this because I've spent hours trying to replicate it in React. It's odd that mixing html components into JS via JSX (which I agree with) caught on, yet the same is often not done for CSS. Conceptually would like everything in one file, and with proper isolation (not affecting child components)

More subjectively, I feel React has a lower floor for writing poor quality/hard to reason about code.

Not a problem for personal projects, but at larger companies it's not as great. I'll have to spend some time thinking about and quantifying the specifics, but always seems to be that react projects end up being more difficult to decipher, all else equal. Not due to framework paradigms, just the collection of conventions and style that pushes you towards. One of the things is that in Vue there's a forced separation between markup and logic oriented code. This is best practice in react too, but easier to mix by mistake due to prevalence of JSX.

Also if/else statements in JSX being done via ternary reads very poorly in my opinion. I have seen third party components for this, but not sure why there's not a native implementation. Fragmenting your view code and assigning to variables/JS if else does not read well. Ordering of markup in Vue always matches ordering it will be evaluated in. Whereas in a react codebase there may be many variables or components declared within the same file and stitched together later, which requires the reader to reverse engineer what the evaluated code will look like.

React does have greater flexibility for mixing UI composition with scripting logic, which comes in handy for particularly complex use cases, but is often not needed. Of course you can use JSX with Vue as well, just not very conventional.

Finally, Vue is implementing all supporting major features from a first party perspective, whereas react projects tend to be more of a patchwork of open source components. E.g. static site generation, state management, cli, routing. I believe some packages like redux got formally adopted, but Vue is approaching from single implementation/first party first. Which leads to more consistency between projects in ecosystem.
Yeah. I'd rather have something handheld with as much freedom as a standard computer than a smartphone. Unfortunately that doesn't exist in a fully usable form yet so I'm stuck with a smartphone for now. I plan on eventually ditching it though.

Yes you're right, it's a simple network-like protocol allowing you to mount a path on the host OS to the Unikraft unikernel VM similar to a container volume. In addition, Unikraft's abstract APIs[0] allow for more block devices such as EXT{2..4}, etc. which you mount in a similar way. Alternatively, you can put your filesystem into a CPIO format and mount it as initram and load it into RAM (great for performance and read-only file systems, like webservers).
