For the first 6 years of using Nix, it was depoyed on Ubuntu. We recently migrated to NixOS. NixOS is fantastic for other reasons that are similar but separate from Nix as a package manager/build system.

It's easier to incrementally switch to Nix first then NixOS later.

We don't use systemd services for our code. We only use NixOS as an operating system, not for application layer. Our code works just the same on any linux distribution, or even macos minus linux-only stuff. That way we don't need to insist that everyone uses the same OS for development, and no one is forced into VMs. Everything can be run and tested locally.

> Electricity cost to the final user is the only metrics that matter.

By that logic the difference between solar and nuclear doesn't matter since the cost is the same.

The fact of the matter is that we don't know the cost of nuclear in France since it gets lumped together with other profits/losses. This is unfortunate because it makes comparing very difficult. The claims you made are therefore unsubstantiated.
we never raised money. over time i found out investors have a million ways to say no and that your business or product matters less than who you are and if they know you. i thought a good product and business would be enough. i saw idiots left and right raising millions for stuff like razor subscription businesses. they were able to do so because they knew X or Y for many years already. as a founder/engineer i had no time to go to parties and spend all my time in powerpoint making pitch decks. it becomes a full time job. no time for that if you are building a moderately advanced product with a small team. we tried accelerators (you know which one that includes) and we came to the conclusion that knowing people is what makes the difference. it always comes down to that.

to lower the stress: think about what is missing and how you can hack the process. if it feels too hard you should probably find another way.

That's kind of downplaying it right? Outside of "native" languages like C, C++, Rust, fortran, Java blows everything else out of the water.
That's why testing of backups should be at least partially automated. Though you will always find a point where the automation, and automated tests to make sure that is working, and so on, get to the point where making a human responsible for sanity checking is most resource effective.
I said that taking the case to trial - as opposed to settling now - isn't going to change how the company operates.

A couple of points. First, there's no guarantee that you get more at trial. In most jurisdictions comparative fault would be an issue. Not to be cold, but the defense will be able to argue that a 2 year old shouldn't have been allowed to play around a trash truck, and that if parents or whoever had been doing their job this wouldn't have happened. And therefore, caregiver's negligence should offset their liability.

Two, the death of a child very likely changed how the company operates. Companies are run and operated by people, and the death of a child affects everyone.

Third, insurance is likely involved. Thus the idea that taking the case to trial is going to change behavior more than settling now, is unlikely.

I suppose the bottom line is, the case has a value. Wrongful death cases get tried and the attorneys and insurance companies keep track of those results. If the submitter is being offered something close, he should take it. If not, either tell his attorney to negotiate for more or get a new attorney.

Adafruit requires 2FA to prevent bots buying out Raspberry Pi
Sorry no, I've worked on VLIW CPUs and an (unreleased) x86 core.

In general though MIPS and RISCV are similar sorts of RISC architecture, they make some of the same design trade offs (no condition codes for example), RISCV avoids some of the mistakes (delay slots for example) - I'd guess they're about the same amount of work. I can imaging making a version of my CPU by switching out the instruction decoders (probably not really that simple).

As far as SoC it probably doesn't matter - that's more of an issue of which internal buses you choose to use for memory and peripherals

SoC stuff is probably unrelated to arcitecture -

How does it help the victim of the accident?

The owner of the vehicle got the cheapest package and nobody will cover the victim.

This is the reason why we demand drivers to have an insurance and don't leave it to the owner to figure this out. Without regulation this doesn't work as not everybody who in the end is affected is involved in the negotiation when buying the insurance.

I understand what you're talking about. As I said, I've broken traffic laws, but never in an unsafe manner that relied on luck not to kill three people. I reject your binary "if you broke any laws, you were equally likely to kill someone". I've observed my surroundings and took what I considered to be safe actions. I also try to apologize when I make mistakes.

I don't feel that the person took appropriate care in the way a reasonable person did. But the article was unclear. Why don't you react by citing the specifics instead of doubling down on the bigger general point, since I disagree that it was moral luck in this case, not with the concept.

IMHO 4k was the worst thing to ever happen to monitors. Now we have screens ranging from 24" to 43+" all using the same physical resoluton. This means that at all the most popular screen sizes you need to use some weird 1.5 or 1.25 scaling factor which results in all sorts of weird rendering quirks, like 1px gaps when rendering engines try to fit elements to pixel boundaries. Plus SVGs often rasterize to a blurry mess since there is no rendering magic that could make a 1px line rasterize nicely over one and a half pixel.

Mental Well-being app – we need beta testers
Hello!
My name is Marios Karagiannis and I am working with a mental health startup called AIME. We are currently building an app that offers AI-powered, personalized guidance and routine building to help users tackle their mental well-being. We were wondering whether you might be open to giving us your input.
We are organizing a beta testing program for April, where we ask people to try our app and give us their opinion on specific features. It would not take more than an hour or two of your time overall, over a period of weeks, but would be really impactful.

If so, you can sign up for our beta here: https://beta.aime-health.com/

Thank you for letting us know and if you have any questions or would like to have a call to learn more about AIME, please feel free to let me know!
Best,
Marios

> I don't see any problem with not allowing a single person to opt to subject the entire rest of society to sickness and death.

That is I don't think its OK to allow individuals to opt out of vaccination because that ignorant minority can not only spread their contagion to vulnerable individuals but also potentially act as a lab for the creation of entirely new variant that bypass existing immunity. Every unnecessary infection is a dice roll with the rest of the human race.

Nobody said anything at all about immunosuppressed individuals. Few of them are incidentally entirely without an immune system else they would soon be dead outside of a clean room. This is to say that their decreased immune systems results in them being at a vastly increased risk compared to the general population and it is more critical not less to vaccinate them even though it doesn't wholly ameliorate their greater risk. I am well aware of this due to my own research my wife's doctors advice.

UTF-16 represents a fairly reasonable compromise, not sure what your disgust is for.

UTF-32 (with no BMP concept) doubles the memory usage of most international text and quadruples the memory usage of ASCII text (which is the most common), yet characters outside the BMP are barely used outside of emoji.

Native UTF-8 in memory makes character indexing a non-constant time operation, which would bite people badly in cases where they've written a loop over the indexes. This is of course the point at which you say, ah but what is a character exactly. If you go down this route you end up with Swift and Emoji Flag Calculus classes. The string APIs become incredibly convoluted or inefficient for the common cases. It hardly seems worth any kind of backwards compatibility break for this.

So Java does the pragmatic thing: String can switch between 8 or 16 bits per "character" and this is basically always good enough. If you care about woring with emoji or Egyptian hieroglyphs in memory, then you either have to deal with combining characters or just bite the bullet and decode to UTF-32.

Another novice here, but every time the matter of dark matter comes up I remember this story.

Almost 2 centuries ago astronomers found that the orbit of Mercury didn't make sense according to Newton's laws, laws which were at the time considered infallible. The astronomers only explanation was that there was a planet closer to the sun that we couldn't see, they believed this so much that they even named the planet Vulcan and spent many years searching for it.

Turns out that there was no Vulcan and general relativity explains the discrepancy in the orbit of Mercury.

I feel a huge gravity in advising you, so take these words lightly.
Beware of getting too close to something that you could over-identify
with and possibly feel frustration on top of your condition. I know a
super-smart person with a life changing genetic condition who, after
long consideration, decided against doing a PhD in the precise area of
their own suffering.

Instead, live well and celebrate that you are highly motivated to
helping others, and as a computer scientist you can and will make a
massive impact on an adjacent area. How about medical imaging? Or
diagnostic data science? How about medical robotics or nano-surgery?
You might invent something that saves millions of lives. And perhaps
by good karma someone else will be looking out for you, and deliver a
treatment in 25 years when you need it.
Strongly agree with that assessment. I swore off watching any more after the astonishingly-bad garbage that was Episode II, but got lured back by reports from other fans that "no, really, they finally made a good one" with III. No. Wrong. Those people tricked me. Admittedly, it didn't help that I hadn't kept up with outside-the-films media so had no idea WTF was going on.

Episode I is the best of the prequels by a long shot, even though it's not very good. II's definitely the worst of them, though (maybe the worst overall? I dunno, Ep. IX might be even more broken on a technical level than II is, but it managed to fall into a "so bad it's... not good, but entertaining" sweet spot for me where at least I could laugh at it, while II is both badly-made and painfully boring), so at least I didn't get tricked back into the theater for another failure of quite that level.

Episodes I and VII are the two I'd put in their own special category, recommendation-wise. Like, if you've watched IV, V, VI, VIII (maybe skip it I guess since it's the middle of a trilogy? That one's hard to recommend just because of that, especially with IX being so very bad) and Rogue One, and are truly desperate for some more Star Wars, consider those. One's fairly bad and the other's a typical irritatingly-lazily-written Abrams script (do let him cast, direct, and punch up dialog, he's excellent at all of those, masterful at times, even—do not let him touch plotting), but they're by far the best of the lesser set of the films in the franchise IMO.
Right! Sorry, I didn't write it clearly but I agree that there should be automatic disconnect, but think it's OK to have 4 separate disconnects to maintain the supply redundancy. Though now it can get really expensive.
> I wonder how much of this is part of a genuine attempt to bring a safe product to market, and how much is to pressure the German government (and soon thereafter, the EU) into making this sort of promise mandatory for all car manufacturers

I'm fine with a company saying "We don't think we can do X safely, therefore we don't devote as much to research doing X, therefore we don't want to be penalized in the market because people who do X unsafely can obfuscate the risks and sell it to the market." And then attempt to create standards to do X safely. That seems reasonable to me.

You can run github actions offline

https://github.com/nektos/act

I don't think github is trying to create lock-in, I think rather they were trying to make a way to easily share actions (not sure what other CIs systems are designed to have an ecosystem of publicly shared actions). The actions are public and therefore easy to make something that interprets them.

I can only guess at some point there will be a push for CIs to converge on some "actions" standard, maybe?

> ... without relying on the specific practice of shipping software with heaps of dependencies. Whether that be in a container or in a single-use VM.

Either you have to package your dependencies with your software, rely on your deployment environment to have all of the dependencies available, and correctly versioned, or write software without dependencies.

Since you seem to have a pretty specific pattern in mind, I'd be curious to know more about what you've envisioned or are dealing with.
They removed much bigger things, and broke backwards compatibility in much bigger ways. Finalizers aren't really used much in Java except for safety checks ("you forgot to close this object"), which can go missing without breaking things.
We’re not holding anything back, you should be able to recreate our findings from the paper. More broadly, there are a number of ways to recreate the network using the relatively simple learning rule we provide.

In theory, this learning rule will continue to decrease your error forever (in our simulations our error goes down to machine precision). However, with any physical learning network you’re always gonna hit an error floor based on the precision of your components. With our current variable resistors and network size that floor is around 10^-3. With more precise components (like we mention at the end of the paper), that floor will go down significantly.
You make it sound like they are doing it for free.

Doctors have to be paid a shitload in the US because they come out of college with an average of $250k in student loan debt (for GPs, specialists are higher). Those other countries that pay doctors a half or a quarter of US salaries will generally be somewhere between "very small costs", "no costs", or "actually paying students to attend", leaning towards the latter two, so doctors don't graduate with a home-mortgage worth of debt.

However, a lot of people in the US are morally opposed to "giving someone else a free ride", you can see the current hubbub around student debt cancellation. And doctors heavily fall towards the higher-income side of the scale, so they are precisely the kinds of people that everyone points to as being undeserving of student debt relief.

It is what it is, Americans are a selfish (ahem, libertarians would say self-interested) people, but you can't make this cost go away. People may not explicitly state it, but their preferences are obvious, they would rather pay 4x the amount to a private actor than have 1x the cost in taxes, same as the rest of the problems with our health care system. People are more worried about micromanaging what everyone "deserves" than overall cost efficiency, and they vote accordingly.

It's rather sad, in a way, that Americans can't grasp that having a more highly educated, more skilled society benefits everyone in the long run. Those people go on to pay taxes, and educated people will contribute a lot more in taxes over their lifespan than they cost in education, it's a long term financial benefit, but people abhor the idea of someone getting "a free ride", despite it being the most financially vulnerable and unstable portion of people's adult lives. It's just straight-up "I chose to be a plumber, why should I have to pay for some fancy doctor's education!?".
That article is pretty old. More recent analysis is much more specific as to how the data is flawed, see tweet and associated paper:

https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1488673180403191808

The primary issue is that the data doesn't adjust for road classification in any way. Highway driving, where autopilot is used, has considerably fewer crashes per mile than city driving. Tesla compared Autopilot's rates against all driving rather than just highway driving which would be the relevant metric.

That adjustment alone almost completely eliminates any safety advantage of Autopilot before you get into any of the other adjustments like age.
