People have found out that if you get specific enough or if you choose something people don't really care about, you can get a Guinness World Record.

For example: there's a guy who had a record invalidated for "fastest time to build the Lego UCS Millenium Falcon (75192)" because he forgot a piece. That's not the point. The point is that he clocked a time of right around 16 hours. Which I found weird. Because that's about what I clocked as well. Now, I wasn't super rigorous. When I started, I started a timer, when I finished for the day, I stopped the timer. At the end, I added all the times together.

And I wasn't trying to build fast. I was just vaguely interested in how long it would take me to assemble a 7500 piece set.

There's a guy on Penn Jillette's podcast, Michael Goudeau. He's a clown. Like, professionally. He has the Guinness World Record for most bites taken out of an apple in a minute while juggling. Dude Perfect holds the Guinness World Record for most ping pong balls stuck on a person's head using shaving cream.

Remember, Guinness doesn't approach people, people approach Guinness. Then there's a whole process about getting the record verified. If it seems like a lot of work for a piece of paper and to be an answer to a trivia question, you'd be right.
Just looking at some data on Tesla's:

According to RepairPal, the average Tesla maintenance cost is $832 per year. That compares to an average of $652 per year for all car models sold in the United States. Depending on which services your Tesla needs, you may end up spending much more than the average car owner on yearly maintenance needs.

Also, Tesla's aren't known for their reliability:

Though not much information exists yet about the overall reliability of Tesla models, early results aren’t encouraging. In the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM, Tesla ranked 30th of 33 car brands for overall reliability. That’s better than only Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, and Land Rover among all automakers across the country.

J.D. Power reported an average of 176 mechanical issues per 100 Tesla vehicles, compared to an industry average of 121 issues. The organization notes, though, that it doesn’t rank the electric car brand with other major automakers because it doesn’t meet the study’s criteria.

What can be known is that Tesla models break down relatively regularly and that Tesla maintenance costs are pretty steep.

https://jalopnik.com/advisor/tesla-maintenance-cost/

Unreliable cars and a pretty steep per year cost to maintain them, along with steep repair costs (a broken door handle will run you about 1K plus labor)? This doesn't sound like the pipedream you're selling me here.
let's just ban how long that information can be held for.

or at least give people more control over it. maybe turn it off by default.
Great work by everyone involved. SerenityOS is for me by far the most interesting project in tech right now. It's like watching a different branch of reality evolving. The recent browser optimization videos by Andreas himself have been great. A great moment in particular was seeing Andreas' satisfaction when he go smooth hover effects on links[0], a single moment where he is (presumably) struck with how far his project has come.

In the short term you could just tell people to use your 'eval' approach, and punt on the issue. :)

Looking at your code, what's missing is a SIGCHLD handler. Basically, your code doesn't know when one of its children dies. You're making an assumption that you know how many children you currently have, based on how many you spawned; but this is misleading due to PID1 semantics re: orphaned processes.

SIGCHLD lets you know that a child process has died. For each SIGCHLD received, your program should (must!) call 'waitpid' (or one of its related functions) to wait on the dead child process. You don't need to waitpid inside the signal handler; you just need to make sure that the counts of signals and waitpid calls eventually match up.

This is in a different language, but here's a nicely writen article about implementing PID1 in Rust:

https://www.fpcomplete.com/rust/pid1/

Someone in Go-land must have written a similar module. Your solution might be an 'import' away.
That's part of it. Another part of it is that Tesla's computer vision is still a work in progress which introduces unnecessary jitter into the visualization. The good news is that they seem to be making improvements and the jitter is slowly going away.
I see. Thank you'r for your replies. I'm gonna put myself out there and see what happens.
I have argued in the past that the real problem of misinformation lies with users not FB. However, when FB itself actively supports the sourcing of false info that endangers teachers to boot, they should get the hammer.
It appears that if it doesn't know where the lanes are, it drives in the middle of the road. If someone turned onto the street from 0:35 to 0:42 there would have been a problem.

I'm still waiting to see how an AI would handle Figure 5-1 from that. And no, the snow plow's solution of burying magnets in the road isn't practical (Cost of infrastructure installation for the test sites is approximately $11,000 per kilometer ($17,000 per mile), including surveying, installation, and magnets).
OT: does anyone know any groups for making the opposite switch (tech to art)?
I wonder how difficult it would be to get the restrictions on pseudoephedrine rolled back now that it appears unlikely they're accomplishing their original goal of limiting the methamphetamine supply. Concern (legitimate and otherwise) over ability to breathe is a popular topic in politics lately.

I'm also irked by the fact that OTC cough suppressants like dextromethorphan are equally useless.
For many platforms and tools (like Ansible) that offer some form of secrets management, instead of being a complete replacement, EnvKey piggy-backs on whatever is the standard secrets management approach, then adds a lot of functionality and security on top.

That's because EnvKey doesn't (and can't) completely eliminate the secrets you have to manage, but it does minimize them to a single secret (the ENVKEY) for each environment.

So now instead of setting a bunch of variables in ansible-vault, in Kubernetes secrets, in AWS secrets manager, etc. etc. for every environment that you run, you can just set a single ENVKEY in each of those tools, and then access/update/manage everything in a single place with all the productivity features and additional security that EnvKey offers.

Ah, but the point isn't to solve climate change.

The point is to engage in a public display of virtue by lecturing others on their shortcomings. This gives one the smug (and illusory) satisfaction of being a Good Person without requiring any actual personal sacrifice.

You're right. These particular retirees aren't even a rounding error of a rounding error of a rounding error. However, they are Climate Sinners, and must therefore be denounced.

Design is not only about how things look. In most cases, design is about function as well, so you need to actually use the thing to have a clue whether it's a good design. The most aesthetically pleasing design is completely useless if it inhibits the users' ability to do what they want. I'll take something without any aesthetic qualities if its easier to use

Your Windows instructions/process needs work.

> curl https://dl.dagger.io/dagger/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1

This uses the `curl` alias, which is really `Invoke-WebRequest`. It also makes the incorrect assumption I haven't fixed this dumb Microsoft mistake to be an alias to actual curl.exe.

> [Windows] We try to move the dagger binary under C:\Windows\System32

Ack, please don't do this! This is similar to installing something under /usr/sbin/. Malware is the only modern thing that would attempt to deploy to that folder.

> but in case we miss the necessary permissions, we'll save everything under <your home folder>/dagger
> C:\<your home folder>\dagger.exe

I'm glad you have a non-admin fallback, but also: yuck. I don't want this polluting my home folder (more importantly: I don't want 100's of other things like this also polluting my home folder).

The "Windows way" is to install system-wide to %ProgramFiles%\dagger\ (eg c:\Program files\dagger\dagger.exe), or to install to %LocalAppData%\dagger\ (eg: c:\Users\shykes\AppData\Local\dagger\dagger.exe). The latter is kind of the closest equivalent to $HOME/.dagger on linux. Add whatever folder to the user's PATH environment variable to make it easy to run.

Honestly, providing just the .zip is better: then Windows users can muck up their own system however they like. Alternatively, package it with something like Scoop [2] which is a fairly popular dev tool, and provides a fairly easy way to get a sane install with updates, versioning and path stuff all handled.

> The compiler and linker technologies have advanced significantly.

AFAICT the linker de-duplicates identical pieces of machine code. You still can get multi-megabyte object files for every source file. I used to work on V8. Almost every .o is 3+MB. Times hundreds, plus bigger ones, it's more than a gigabyte of object files for a single build. That's absurd. Not V8's fault--stupid C++ compilation and linking model.
Sometimes I wonder if NSAIDs are the same deal, or if there's just a subset of people they don't work well on.

What, specifically, do you mean when you say Rust is "awful to work with"? With C and C++ I agree, but I've had a drastically better development experience in Rust than Go.
The pandemic upended many people's lives - people have lost loved ones, lost jobs, been isolated for too long, folks who contracted the virus have effects of long-covid.
If grades didn't translate into real life consequences then it would be fine to use them as merely measurements. But they do affect real life, some companies ask for GPA scores, which colleges attended open doors, even car insurance companies give discounts for good GPA.

I had an uncle once joke about "Friends are temporary but GPA is forever" and as I've aged I've found it to be true in a "that's not funny" kind of way.
Initially, I was pretty thoroughly perplexed by what this actually did since all I did was click the original link and didn't even see this post text. I figured it out through mostly the 2017 link above. I have a pretty good idea now and see its value.

That being said, when looking at your actual website initially with no context, I couldn't really figure out what it did. My first instinct was to hit the "Docs" button.

The "Don't README" header and the just download my code and run it and figure out how it works later mantra with regard to an end-to-end encryption software (or software in general) was very off-putting to me. I actually wasn't very interested in figuring out what your software did at that point, as it just was flashing red-flag in my head. Was it malware? Was it really end-to-end encrypted?

Just a suggestion, you might want to reword some of that front landing page of the Docs page. I understand your wanting to convey that it "just works", but you might want to convey a bit better somehow what exactly what is just working in the first place, and do so in a way that isn't screaming "don't try to figure out how it's working". Maybe also advertise a bit more clearly that it's open source.

The whole "unless you really want to" is a little weird, too. Every end-to-end encryption software you use you should understand fully what encryption is being used, especially when targeting developers handling core secrets for major organizations or what have you.

ironically, OR and MS, the states listed in that report, are so far the only 2 that are starting to roll back the restrictions.

Not yet. As Netlify (either Heroku) is huge compared to Coolify, but I will keep working on it to fill the gap. :)
If you are interested in this sort of thing, I've observed that indie videogame development offers quite a lot of opportunity to jump between code and art for people with the right skillsets. I also suspect that there's a lot of freelance gigs that would offer the same, since a lot of people seem to think that "Unity Developer" or "Unreal Developer" should be able to handle both graphics and code.
> AirBNB competes with hotels

So what? So does staying with friends/family. So does using an RV. As does camping.

Lots of things "compete with hotels" but that doesn't mean that they're subject to hotel regulations.

Hint: the law is words that have meaning.

> Uber competes with taxis by breaking the law.

No. Uber/Lyft competes with taxis by offering transportation with the "town car" model, which is legally distinct from the "street hail" model.

Prior to Uber/Lyft, no one thought that the town car model could scale. Street hail obviously scaled and there were tons of regulations/laws around it. There are different regulations for town car.

Uber/Lyft doesn't do street hail so it isn't subject to regulations specific to street hail.

The fact that Uber/Lyft figured out how to scale town car does not "redefine" them into the street hail business.
I was looking for something similar a while ago and came upon the prior work by Sasha Trubetskoy (https://sashamaps.net/docs/resources/20-colors/)

Which generation? A? millennial and Z are already F'd. Not to mention X, everyone forgets them. America was made great because it didn't squander it's resources, now that those resources are captured, America is in decline.

You get the attention you earn and the Hipster PDA is still a neat thing I like to tell people about. Merlin Mann may not like the attention but he did earn it.
I am convinced people who believe "wear and tear" on electric cars is "negligible" have never owned a vehicle. I worked as a mechanic at a bunch of small mum and pop businesses. Other than oil changes and brake pads (which will be less of a concern with electrics) nothing changes. The bulk of work in shops like that is suspension and steering (bushings, shocks, hydraulics), running gear (wheel bearings, hubs), AC problems (pumps and clutches mainly) and failing electrical parts (bulbs, starter motors, coil packs, wiring gremlins).

Electric cars are heavy, so expect more suspension failures. Running gear doesn't really change. AC is identical but with electric motors (prone to failure). Electrics will be worse if anything.

Those are exactly the things that anybody else could do just as well as you. What makes you valuable (if you are) is exactly the things that nobody can just as well look up on Google.
Naive because it's just the easiest way. (Also, right, I forgot abs.)

I imagine the downside with a chosen "epsilon" (which I used as an alias for any tolerance) is that it can be truncated on some machines, plus this equation on its own doesn't do relative accuracy.

On an LEGO EV3, Python's float is 1e38 max with 7 significant digits.

I've never run into problems, which is why I keep using it, too.
It forces you to install the vendor's proprietary authentication app on your mobile device.
In those cases, Claritin and Zyrtec are allergy medicines. The -D indicates that this allergy medicine comes along with a decongestant. The version without the -D will just be the allergy medicine.
Respectfully if this reply is the best quality of posts you can produce I suggest you find another forum. Maybe 4chan is more appropriate for you.
Is there a reason that game developers don't use fixed-point math for Cartesian coordinates?

A 64 bit integer and a 64 bit float both chop up your coordinate system into the same number of points, but with the integer, those points are equally spaced which is the behaviour you'd expect from a Cartesian coordinate system (based on the symmetry group of translational invariance).

And even a 32-bit integer is still fine enough resolution to support four kilometres at one-micrometer resolution. With 64 bits per axis you can represent the entire solar system with 15 nm resolution, while maintaining equal resolution at any location, and exact distance calculations between any points no matter how close or how far.
TIL Canada is an uncivilized country?
I'm not comfortable they recommend using an epsilon (isclose()). That's begging for mysterious bugs when the numbers are near the threshold. Better to just not compare floats for equality except when you're confident they can be exactly equal. Usually, that doesn't make sense, any more than comparing measurements of weight for equality.
They can design devices that are resilient to attacks by even themselves. That's hard when your whole pitch is "your devices are connected to the cloud!" though. But maybe that's the problem.
> There are linker flags that allow some deduplication but those have their own drawbacks

As long as you use --icf=safe I don't see any drawback, and most of the time it results in almost identical reductions to --icf=all since not many real programs compare addresses of functions.
Why Bookstores Still Matter
harness.io was by far the best CD experience I ever had, and it allowed me to do exactly what I wanted. I can't stand the gitops way of defining every change through a PR and having an operator/controller sync the changes. It's a lot more intuitive for me to say "everything in master ends up in prod" and define a pipeline that moves artifacts between environments. The only other software that seems like it does the same thing is Spinnaker, which i have no desire to try self-hosting.
Pessimistic me says not likely. Once these regulations are put in place, it is nearly impossible to get them removed. It takes a literal act of Congress. Now you have to spend useless energy against attacks of "soft on crime/drug abuse/etc" types of nonsense for suggesting removing an item from the list. Don't bother resorting to facts. Those are useless in the emotional knee jerk reactions that will ensue.
