Chrome implemented and shipped an early draft and has, I believe, broken it multiple times since. What it shipped has significant security implications that are handled poorly at best (mostly not at all).

Firefox and Safari have said “you what!? No way we’re implementing that as it is”. And Safari are now implementing the safe and boring part of the spec, not the part that people actually want.
Seems super useful for one-off tools. Thanks a lot!
Optimistic rollups are brilliant (and the state of blockchains)
It reminded me of the "Lowered Expectations" skits of MADTv with awkward VHS dating recordings. Pretty funny. I usually think of the intro melody when my expectations have been lowered for any reason
Some more details would be nice.

So a loan can be good or bad.
The loan officer can rate it as
good or bad.
And the software can
rate it as good or bad.

To evaluate the situation, would like more than the "95%":

(1) Would like to see the arithmetic that yielded the "95%". (2) Would like to know the rate (probability) of false positives, when the software said the loan was good but it wasn't. (3) Would like to know the rate (probability) of the false negatives when the software said the loan was bad but it was good.

And, really, when the software and the loan officer disagreed, what were the ratings of the applications and when was the software correct and when, the officer correct.

Finally, what was the average cost per mistake for the false positives and for the false negatives. E.g., a false negative could cost the bank some business but a false positive could cost them $millions.
How about I worry about whether or not my haphazardly self-medicated anxiety disorder keeps me around the p90 in comp in a bad/typical year instead of the p99 when I have my shit together, and you worry about whether or not the wage fixing scandal with the big lawsuit involving all the big names might be an example of structural suppression of engineer wages?
They've already taken a bunch of VC. There's a 100% chance of them breaking bad as soon as they've got a big enough user base that it's worth squeezing.
Speaking of vim vs emacs, how does the nix command line interface compare to GNU Guix?
Agent for Selling Code Base
Does anyone know of an agent for selling an existing code base? This is not a side project.
Maybe PureNix helps lowering this barrier.
People are going to die. To lose their homes. Just because of politics and money. It is even not their money. I can understand what you are talking about, I felt it myself in the past, and I'm ok with it. But you are sounding now like you do not care, I hope you do it inadvertently, while really caring deep inside you.
My bad english, meant to write "what would a war between [...] mean".
I will.

C is everywhere and is not going away (it's #2 on TIOBE and on the rise again). Now that fewer people are learning it, I get more juicy contracts.
Not only politics, the reason why some languages and OSes rule, is that real progress only happens one generation at a time, to put it in a more friendly wording.
Subaru also uses a similar stereo camera sensor for their AEB.
Isn't emotional regulation and conflict resolution like half of what children are supposed to learn?
Law alone doesn't prevent anything by itself, enforcement does.

Facebook's answer is likely illegal (Not a lawyer), get in touch with your local privacy defense group.
Putin is surrounded by people who can't say no. I'm not sure how in touch with reality he his.
Yes but that added inefficiency is also a result of adtech abusing the font cache for tracking. Which led to the need to isolate sites.
Why do you think that? If it's a bluff, it's taking a long time, with a lot of actions edging closer to war.
Considering their headquarters are in NSW and NSW has 8mil population, with over 64% in the Sydney region [0] which is roughly 1/3 of Australia's total population (25 mil), I think the answer is zero chance.

Oh I just mean it doesn’t seem “fair” that other people have to work hard to be understood in the lingua franca, and I grew up in a household where it was spoken. Opinions will differ on whether I can construct a pleasant sentence from an aesthetic point of view, but I got “this line of code looks to be where the big is” for “free”.
I agree, though I suspect fines for "repeat offenses" might be less easy to ignore.
Hence why having legal liability is so relevant for making this a reality.

The industry will only really change when pushed to do so.
Huge amounts of software are “legacy” but built with perfectly modern tool chains and will support c23 just fine. Even for large bits of software which have been mostly rewritten you’ll often find core libraries that are still actively developed but have never been ported away from C.
Since you're being critical, I think you should suggest a better wording for "Columbus discovered American" that you think will piss fewer people off.
Random initialization is already starting to give way. One of the more promising approaches right now is pretraining with synthetic data to obtain “good” initial weights. Once that converges, you’ve got a network that internally recognizes interesting features which is a bettter-than-random starting point for training with real-world data.

I guess it comes from the fundamental bottom-down business approach of minimizing costs of materials.

Rarely people could identify and properly estimate the radical difference between developers of the same years of experience.
Thanks for the response, never came across the particular behaviour.

fwiw I think when it comes to the 'copy as curl', the HTTP header ordering may be different and it's worth loading up a page twice as some of the cookies are replaced.

I've used puppeteer as the article talks about. Manages the cookies better. Managed to do continuous requests without getting further CF blocks as opposed to a couple of hundred with cURL (due to cookies different from what CF expect over a time)

IIRC CF does have a sliding scale of how protected you want a site to be, so perhaps the TLS stuff belongs further up the scale.
They surely do, because if I can prove the pothole broke my car, I can sue them, or have my insurance take legal action.

Eventually this will be standard in software as well.
Oh, sorry, that was not my intention at all. I care, a lot, and this type of thing ( human suffering from war) is something i take.. heavily.

What I meant to convey was that it reads like a history book, but it will be more brutal due to the real-time nature of our world ( we'll get real-time graphic information of the brutality of war); and the same time this type of things belongs only in history books, not in 2022.
i didn't notice any popup. maybe because in using ublock origin with all the "annoyance" filters turned on
Is he, though? Or is that a meme? I know it’s easy to see Putin’s entourage as a cartoon villain lair where saying no to anything will get you shot and replaced, but Putin, evil as he is, is really good at what he does and I don’t think it’s possible to be that good without being surrounded by some amount of other really intelligent people.

In general I don’t think it follows that he could still be in power if he weren’t in touch with reality.
It seems that Dyson sphere may be seen in infrared? So James Webb will find one, if they exist. We need just to wait a few years.
This is more of a reason. I've never heard of somebody writing software alone for 10 years and the releasing it.

If anything open source should encourage early open sourcing, doing work in the public, accepting contributions, etc.

I think it's more like a shareware, ie. not open source.
I found the sqlite3 implementation docs to be very educational, particularly the ones about the query planner.
My daughters tablet will go down the battery in like 15min of minecraft or roblox. And I don't mind her using it for longer then that. Plus, especially during covid, I was glad that they occasionally socialized with friends when at home.

I don't want to intentionally cause discomfort to them or me either.
I just started to install nix and my first impression is the opposite of terrible. The way it describes what it will do in detail, before doing it, I think is _excellent_. Of course, I have not started using nix yet but to me this shows some attention to detail that developers appreciate and that most other tools don't bother with. I am hopeful I will like it.
Bank Accounts to Be Frozen, Double Standard for Protesting
A dyslectic friend refuses to read sans-serif fonts, because she can't follow the lines. Please do use serifed fonts, except maybe for short labels!

> However, it is also evident that they somewhat aid the horizontal movement of the eye along the printed line—the serifs at the top and bottom of a character create a “railroad track” for the eye to follow along the line of print. Therefore, when using a typeface without serifs, adequate spacing between the lines of print should be used in order to prevent the eye from bridging (slipping) to the adjoining line (Craig, 1980).
If I run N different machine learning models over the same data, and each has some random error in fitting the objective function, then I pick the one which matches the validation data best, isn't there a danger of picking the one which was "luckiest" with the random errors? Presumably for large N that's a real problem? How do people account for that?
Airtable makes most money from pro/business use cases and that's what alternatives mentioned here compete for.

But consider personal/family use: Recipe collections, inventories, todo, personal project planning and tracking, ... There competitors won't need more powerful scripting/customizability, just basic feature parity plus cutting the dismal ~6 seconds startup time of Airtable's Android and Windows apps. "Same but faster" wins me over.
The absence of human picking up obvious discrepancies the model isn't trained on or doesn't accept as inputs is an order of magnitude or three less expensive than making more bad loans (of the size/rate that aren't already determined by a basic credit check). Also, checking the loan matches the bank's credit criteria isn't the only task a bank employee performs during the course of their employment, which likely includes quite a few the AI is utterly terrible at, like talking to people.
JB Rainsberger would like a word with you :-)

> history book

I found a quote a long time back that is attributed to Santayana: "History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there."

Journalists, like politicians and lawyers, are professional liars. While I often don't know the truth of a situation, if a bunch of journalists are writing about the same thing in the same way, I have a very difficult time believing that that is the truth.
Plus, systemic risk of a repeatable exploitation is more likely without humans in the loop. Making a bad loan for $1M is bad, but if “attackers” can repeatedly prove until they get a bad risk $1B loan, it becomes business shattering.
I assume you didn't write SVGs by hand for 10 years.

Publishing open source is like me publishing only the binaries of my tool and thn saying because it's free it's also 'open source'.

So, assuming you used some tool (Photoshop, Figma, etc) to export to SVG, open source would mean you publish the original files too.
From my experience they don’t do anything extraordinary.

Except that they tend to deliver results 2-10 times faster and produce much cleaner and scalable code.

And capable of designing elegant solutions of a more complex problems than their less experienced peers can handle.

And they feel/understand the requirements much better and quicker.

I'm always amazed that some Western countries don't let former convicts vote. In Serbia even current convicts can vote, atleast in republic level elections, not sure about local elections.

This is why Do Not Track was a great idea. No popups because the browser indicates your choice proactively.

The problem was the legal framework to enforce it didn't exist so the industry was just using it as a suggestion. The EFF's voluntary declaration didn't help either.

I think if it had been enforced in the style of GDPR it would have been a great thing to have.
Sounds like you're not really in touch with the real word. C has many benefits and it is super practical. Yes, you can write unsafe code, but safety isn't always your #1 priority. There are also tools you can use to identify issues, which will mitigate risks.
You want to use the average credit scores of all defaulting loans as threshold? That seems really low, you're setting your bank up for a lot of defaults. But then there's a lot of selection bias in your data -- presumably your bank has been denying loans to people with bad scores, so over time you your minimum credit score is the upward inching average inside the cracks between safe and denied loads.
Also, he speaks German very well (he even talked German during parts of the 3 hr meeting with Germany’s chancellor last week), which means he has easy access to different viewpoints if he’d choose to read German media. Now I have no idea if he does or if this really is an argument against him being out of touch with reality. But it could be.

Further class segmentation and ultimately speciation once populations have grown so far apart that they can no longer procreate.

I can't recall the title of an Australian gov't commissioned paper on the subject but this was ultimately the conclusion.

The paper also pointed out that domestic attempts to regulate these acts would ultimately be futile because people were already traveling abroad (specifically Italy) to seek out reproductive/eugenic services that were not legal in Australia.
Have you given Minetest (AFAIK the biggest Minecraft FLOSS clone) a try? Maybe your kids like it and you can stop hassling around with Microsoft's shenanigans.
It does not matter what attitudes people should have. It matters which they actually had.

The "feel that they’ve been unfairly imprisoned in their homes by the rest of society" was very right wing attitude. Even in places with no lockdowns and no restrictions. Even left wing disagreeing with this or that measured would talk about these in less emotional terms.
So true and false keywords are the only thing that has been added, or am I missing a part of this thread?

How about just using the default source that users would like to use 90% of the time and then provide an option to override this default?

I think easiest way to understand it that they hoard access to capital. They suck it out of consumers in the economy, denying smaller entrepreneurs access to it.

People won't buy your SaS for $4.99 a month so you can earn your first million if they spent all of their money on iPhone priced higher than it needs to be.

Strongest benefit of the market is competition that allows million ideas to be tried to find the thousand that will benefit the society. One person with billions of dollars won't have million ideas, let alone thousand beneficial ones.

They also hoard other stuff like land and real estate but that's just means to an end. Extracting capital, denying it to everybody and keeping it all under singular command.
I have been following the show for a while, here is an interview with retired Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov in Russian. You can read about him in wikipedia [2]. Based on this assessment: i think that Putin might get a very similar professional assessment from his general staff. I mean similar in substance, but certainly not in form.

(my grandparent comment was: 'I don't think that he will invade; Putin is a lot of things, but he knows some history and he is not a suicidal idiot. I think it's all for show')

The point is that you don't need to go faster than the speed of light. There's more than enough time to cover the entire galaxy in a relatively short period of time at sublight speeds. A few million years is sufficient.
I feel like there’s actually a growing subculture of C programmers of late, seemingly spawned by Casey Muratori’s Handmade Hero series, Zed Shaw’s “Learn C The Hard” way and other more recent popularizations of C and low level programming ideas. There’s a whole “Handmade” software scene growing up, seemingly as a reaction against the bloat and over engineering of more recent software trends like Electron and web apps.
Just the other day I stumbled across a vibrant Discord group focused on a fairly new but surprisingly feature complete game engine called Gunslinger, written entirely in C99.
I’ve been working on my own C-based game engine for awhile too after having been exposed to the ideas of Handmade Hero, as well as from the influence of a good friend who has been writing games in C for many years. He’s now working on an application called Pixel CNC for generating 3D tool paths from 2D images.
Introduction to Google Cloud
4-5 years ago I was first in line to claim that the Nix language needs a static type system. Now that we've seen what happens with languages like Cue I'm not so sure anymore.

In a language like Nix there isn't really a distinction between compile time and runtime anyways and for cases where you want to check the shape of some data you can use e.g. yants[0].

The only difference would probably be slightly better error messages for incorrect type applications on builtins.

Thanks for the thorough answer!

Makes perfect sense. From outside the company, it feels like The Company speaks and acts. From inside, you realize it's actually the VP of whatever making a decision.

I always enjoyed the 'behind the curtain' aspect. It was humanizing to see that even Smart People doing Hard Things didn't always get them perfectly right, especially in the recurring "Annals of Bad Product Naming" theme.
About why people from Donbass fleeing to Russia, since 2014, there is more than 1 million people left separatist controlled territory for Ukraine.
Current evacuation is done by DNR authorities in a centralized manner. Given the escalation of conflict, it is dangerous to be near “contact line” and evacuate to Ukraine.

Ukraine voted for Zelensky for two reasons:

1. He is not a radical, his message was conciliatory, he can represent both east and west. He is a Russian-speaking Jew, so that’s rather removed from Ukrainian nationalism for example.

2. Demand for new faces, same old oligarchs/career politicians didn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Also Zelenskiy is more of tycoon/ media executive, not just a comedian.

Russian language was removed from the government in 1991, everyone is bilingual in Ukraine, language is a talking point only outside of Ukraine.
Again, nobody is strict about that, people use whatever language they want anywhere, except for official documents.
> Other is when you are targeted by regimes with essentially unlimited budget. In that case yes, the picture can be a spyware.

If this was the case, exploits would never be published or abused, and jailbreaks wouldn't exist because this logic says that those who find exploits will either disclose them "responsibly" or sell them to a nation-state.

If the idea of non-state hackers doesn't bother you, recognize that organized crime is a billion dollar industry and fraud rings would love root access on tons of normal people's devices, including your own.
Zero. They boycotted international shipments due sales tax changes, before they built local fulfilment centres and a local website.
Not really. GDPR preparations predated the Brexit vote. It was even completed and passed several months before the vote even happened (back when everyone still expected it to fail, even Cameron who initiated it has no expectation it would pass)

And EU tax avoidance is mainly done through Ireland and the Netherlands which are still member states.

Speaking as a man with a naturally deep speaking and singing voice that's been roughened by decades of smoking, drinking whiskey, etc., it definitely, uh, works, and has worked across cultural boundaries.

But it's also true for women, to a point. Personally, I find huskier voices on women - a la Emma Stone - much sexier, all other things being equal. But I also find squeaky voices irritating.

Totally subjective, I guess. Whatever the psychoevolutionary rationale, I can tell you that it most definitely works in my favor and has since my voice broke in high school. :-D
