Exactly, I'm not sure what people are trying to fix here. They want code they import in their projects to be sandboxed so they import untrusted code. That seems a bit f*cked up to me. Running untrusted apps is already pretty hard, running apps where some code is trusted and some not, seems... a bad idea.

IMO since the problem is generic to all languages we should have a generic solution, using standard sandboxing technics (containers, VMs, jail, etc)
> Others have made independent calculations and arrived at a different conclusion: the calibration date would more likely fall sometime in the summer of 204 BCE, although Voulgaris countered that this doesn't explain why the winter solstice is engraved so prominently on the device.

Any chance someone engraved it on the device after it was built?

Alternatively, why does something engraved on the front necessarily have to be involved in the device calibration? Maybe they put that on there simply because it's a yearly important event that is related to astronomy?
Microsoft Planner is included in most Microsoft 365 plans. Pretty much if you've got Teams, you've got Planner (and you can just add Planner as Tab in a Teams channel). At this point it has surprising feature parity with Trello.

> Numbers in modern managerial-driven society are consider The Absolute Truth while reality is "just a defective instance of our model", they are not. You can't have real tangible numbers, just generic approximations that might be more or less true.

Yet again, why do you assume that I'm guilty of this ? I didn't ask for precise numbers, and you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I'm talking about the (new) Russian invasion of Ukraine being an emergency.

(And the issues of overpopulation/pollution/depletion of natural resources aren't new - King Hubbert predicted in 1956 that US oil production would peak between 1965 and 1970 - and it did in 1970 - and it's not like he pulled those numbers out of his ass, but he based them on known numbers about production rates and discovery trends. And these topics were discussed quite extensively in the 70's, before we decided that we didn't care about the future - if anything, a forced reduction of EU reliance on hydrocarbons is also a good way to finally prepare us to the inevitable shortages that we're going to face anyway in the next decades.)
A couple of years ago, I went shopping for headphones. I went to a couple of different small electronics/audio stores, and none would let me try the headphones!! They had them in the plastic packaging and said they are not allowed to open them.

What the fuck!

I just left and bought something online.

(I know there are high end hifi shops that will let me try headphones. But I wasn't looking for 500€ headphones, I just wanted something that didn't sound like shit. Thomann is perfect for that.)
I don't get it.

A guy from Google wants to convince me that it is simultaneously impossible for Google to listen to me, yet it does listen for me to say "a few keywords" and also determine the song I am currently playing.

I'm not saying google is listening to me, but his direct evidence seems overwhelmingly contradictory.
There should be some law of good marketplaces on the internet, that if they need to grow beyond a certain amount they inevitable become a trash heap of crap and end up losing whatever customer and seller goodwill they built up in the first place

'The [Arkansas State Police], as part of the settlement agreement, has agreed to change its Use of Force policy as it relates to PIT maneuvers and institute an “objective standard” required to justify the maneuver’s use versus the previous “subjective standard.”'[1].

I would argue that a more across the board set of changes is required.

SSHFS caches reads on my machine. Here's a sequential timing of sha256sum operation on a ~10MiB file:

$ time sha256sum file
c2359f8b63dfef9f50e62b2e7b4ef2613c290c3a1ffa135cfa255b14eafd3ffb file

real 0m5,205s
user 0m0,127s
sys 0m0,011s
$ time sha256sum file
c2359f8b63dfef9f50e62b2e7b4ef2613c290c3a1ffa135cfa255b14eafd3ffb file

real 0m0,221s
user 0m0,093s
sys 0m0,004s

That should be enough to prevent slowness for interpreted code, since textual files are small anyway. SSHFS only needs to send edited files to the remote machine.
Could be Thomas Kuhn’s The Copernican Revolution. In any case, it’s a great book.
Has the nato council voted on it and unanimously accepted the mission? It’s a NATO mission. Has it not? It’s not. Turkeys actions in Syria? Not a NATO mission. Germany and France providing troops to the Minusma mission in Mali? Not a NATO mission. German soldiers getting killed in Mali doesn’t trigger Article 5.

Many NATO interventions happen because the UN Security Council asked the NATO to take leadership on them, others without UN involvement, but all of them require that there’s a political decision before the intervention happens.

Of important note: there is currently no NATO support for Ukraine - many NATO member states do support Ukraine, but others are very reluctant- Hungary for example. NATO certainly is a body that acts as coordinator and supports states that feel threatened by Russia at the moment, even backfilling for capabilities that they’re handing over to Ukraine, so that distinction is mostly political - but it has real effects. Should any of Ukraines neighbors decide to unilaterally send troops into Ukraine and they get attacked there, it’s not an automatic trigger for Article 5 either.
These steps read to me like: first we filter, then we filter, then we filter; all of this being done based on some various orders of the data.

The devil's in the details, which are surely domain specific and hopefully not too morally questionable.
What a crazy coincidence. I just spent the last couple of days doing a survey of audio engines with a mind to find those that could run in wasm.

Did you write your own engine or are you built on top of csound, supercollider, ChucK or something else? How do you compare against the higher level or pattern based implementations like Sonic Pi, Tidal Cycles, Overtone and Cabbage Audio? How about libraries like LibPD or even Max/MSP?

I was even considering this space myself and on my list of todo's was checking out the licenses of the above to see what the ramifications of deploying a commercialized version of them would be. However, I must admit that the market for audio software is incredibly split. On the one end are the high-end audio effects with eye-watering prices. On the other OSS end many of the devs are literally begging for scraps on Patreon barely making enough to survive. There doesn't seem to be an in-between. I am very curious what you believe your market will be.
My son has access to all the other great things like tv, streaming, video games etc. I think going all one way or all the other is of course no good also. It is about a nice mix, right?
I'm in this space as a hobbyist, a consumer and occasional producer (I've done some limited runs on simple projects). I'm specifically interested in jp coin-op and 16-bit home console. I see your concern.

There's always going to be the originals, which will almost definitely hold value for the lifetime of millennials at least.

This is always going to be a small market driven by passion. If you can write a PlayStation flash cart you can almost defiantly make something with a higher market value.

There is an active market for extremely high quality products in this space. Look at Analogue (analogue.co) which is building FPGA reference-quality reproductions of classic consoles (NES, SNES, GENSIS, and recently GB/GBC/GBA). These machines play original carts better than original hardware, they are widely critically acclaimed, and the company keeps outputting fantastic machines. Many speed running and other competitive organizations accept plays running on analogue hardware, but not other knock-off consoles.
The important word is intelligence.
I had the same thing happen[0], but the point is that companies don't have to make as much money as possible by sacrificing everything else like brand image and human decency; anything that goes against obvious profit-increasing practices must be properly accounted for by the board giving a reasonable explanation. A hypothetical shareholder meeting: "Q: why did you reduce your cut of sales when still trending upward in user and revenue growth? A: we believe higher user growth numbers is more important in the long term and envision our revenue growth will continue to increase despite this change".

Your argument is about as well formed as your sentences. I can only assume you're a troll account given how new your account is and that you clearly didn't read the comment you're replying to.
Yeah, if I search for "Sephora" and the first result is titled "Top quality makeup" and links to a no-name site with knockoff products, that's not competing on product.

I do provide sources when something is difficult to find, uncommon, or uses numeric values beyond ballpark estimations. Demanding sources for every statement contributes to Brandolini's Law [0], which states "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it." In the spirit of restoring symmetry, I invite you to provide sources for the following statements made in this thread.

* "Most areas with heavy pedestrian traffic have sidewalks." I am uncertain on this one, as heavy pedestrian traffic is more frequent on mixed-use streets. Sidewalks are only used in places with car-centric design, which discourages walking.

* "Even with cars taking up much more space, a bunch of cars traveling at 25 mph are able to carry a many more people through a distance X in a period of time T than the equivalent walking would be able to." I am uncertain on this, because cars require very large amounts of space both for the physical size of the car, the spacing between cars, and the spacing between groups of cars at an intersection.

* "It'd be incredibly eco-unfriendly, expensive, and impractical to have two different types of roads" I'd be interested in a source for this, as I've generally heard that separating out usage improves the efficiency of each. Cars go faster because there are fewer stops requires. Pedestrians die less often because there are fewer cars nearby.

* "Bike lanes are less common than sidewalks" This is correct by my experience, but I've only lived in places with car-centric city planning. Can you provide a source?

I'm interested in continuing this conversation, but not if it is a conversation between sourced comments and unsourced assertions.

One of the wisest pieces of career advice I ever heard was "you cannot change an organization by leaving it."

It works both ways: if you're leaving in hopes that it'll be a wake-up call to management that a valuable person left, then it probably won't be. And, if you leave your workplace to improve your own life, you've also necessarily chosen not to try and improve the workplace. Leaving means giving up on trying to improve them.

With that in mind, the exit interview isn't a trap so much as pointless: all you can do is hurt yourself here, you can have them remember you fondly or not, but you can't get them to change things in the exit interview.
Whenever I do `cmd -h` or `cmd --help`, and the command fails and asks me to type something else, I always find this a very helpful hint that cmd’s authors don’t have respect for conventions, and that I should be cautious with my expectations from then on.

No one said anything about autocompletion either, yet here we are. I'm a bit done here since you are one of these people who refuse to use analogies to inform their thinking. Suffice it to say, many billions of people over the years have found analogies to be a useful endeavor, and nothing about this particular situation is any different. If you really need it spelled out to you, Douglas Hofstadter has a good talk about analogy as a basis of cognition on YouTube.

I took a lot of Greyhound trips in the later 1970s. The police did patrol Greyhound stations--I had a memorable wait in Detroit of three hours or so, during which I saw someone hauled out in handcuffs about every half hour. I met quite a few people on the bus that I would not care to associate with, some who didn't really seem sane, but none I can think of who made life miserable.

There was a baby on one bus who cried all the daylight hours and at least third of the dark hours for about 1200 miles, and he or she did make it hard to sleep. But I don't think a TSA-style check would have screened out the baby.

[edit: duration of stop in Detroit]
Innovation rate in a society is roughly proportional to the branching factor of the possible futures that that society engenders. One way to reduce the branching factor is to consume (or store) resources that others may use to innovate.

"Taking up space" in society corresponds to collecting and storing resources beyond the share which makes you productive, such that an opportunity cost is incurred. Insofar as there is a teleology to capitalist economic organization, it does not include a distribution of resources which optimizes opportunities. The profit motive ensures this.

Delineating the private sector from society at large is an artificial distinction that does not reflect the material realities surrounding resource distribution and utilization. We are all part of one big network, and the boundaries described above are not obeyed by the chaos of self-emergent organization at these scales.
Last I checked, pretty much the entire rest of the OECD was between 40% and 70% of US per-capita spending on healthcare. Some spend less total, per capita, than we do just from public spending that we already do (medicare, medicaid, CHIP, public employee healthcare plans, military care like VA and Tricare, et c.) without even having universal care like ~everyone else does
The point is simply that that one person's choice can have impact on others.
This is pretty basic and true if you like like urban walking or not.

I think the fact that they could come up with a fuel innovation is the most impressive bit.
The issue is that they need to be dramatically reducing their carbon footprint right now to avoid catastrophic consequences 50 years from now (and even that is tenuous). Kicking the can down the road by paying a little tax from their record profits does not help.
better off just having a few drinks then since it's safer.
I always default to “man foo”, because of the occasional tool that when presented with -h or --help creates a file with that name; even if there’s no manpage, “man foo” will never have any undesired side effects.

Nearly every tool does have a manpage (even a basic one) thanks to Debian’s manpage policy: “Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual page included in the same package or a dependency.… If no manual page is available, this is considered as a bug and should be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking System.”

The rare times I encounter a command‐line tool that has no manpage, I’ll sometimes write one and contribute it upstream.

Of course some programs have a useless manpage that points to info. Thankfully that is pretty much limited to GNU tools which I’m lucky enough to not have to use very often.
If you're in a toxic environment, then the only way to survive is to be toxic yourself?
> This pattern is cumbersome to deal with in practice, especially in tools that use subcommands. Instead of typing foo bar -h to get help, you have to move the cursor between foo and bar to insert help: foo help bar in order to get help about the bar subcommand. Then, once you presumably know how to use it, up-arrow, remove help from between the tool and subcommand, move to the end of the line, and continue on.

This is not a pain if you are using the default readline keybindings (which ape those of Emacs): up arrow, M-b to move back one word, type 'help ', hit RET; for the next bit, up arrow, M-b M-b to move back two words (to the beginning of 'help'), M-d to delete forward one word, C-e to go to the end of the line and you're done. No doubt it's similarly easy using the vi keybindings.

That sounds complex, but really it's second nature.

> As in the case of podman above, if you know your user is asking for help, show them the damn help.

The issue there is that it doesn't know the user is asking for help, because the way one asks for help with podman is with --help; -h is meaningless to podman. Note that -h isn't always the flag for help; just off the top of my head, in several command-line tools it is the flag for human-readable file sizes.
Recently we've been doing "ghost" AI research and product development, meaning our customer will afterwards pretend that their in-house R&D team came up with it. I'd say it's close to my dream job because it's fully remote, bleeding edge tech, weekly varying tasks, and I just like getting lost in math papers.

And yes, it's the culmination of a series of interesting jobs all over the map. As a teen, I started doing what I like and then later I started helping people that asked me for help. I became a startup CEO more or less by accident.
Another way to think about it: the average person has no context for oppressive/non-oppressive, at least relative to our standards. US children have freedom hammered into their heads the second they start in school. This obviously isn't really a thing there.

Rather, historically when things go off the rails in china, they go off the rails hard and they have a very long history of that to look back on, an order of magnitude more than the US's. From what I've seen, that's what's taught to them in history class. Conformism/capitulation => stability and safety whereas in the US conformism/capitulation => being a British subject/slave/native on a reservation/interned Japanese/and on and on.

Tl;dr: the differences in historical context are vast between the two countries

There's the idea in the business world that you can just throw money at programmatic advertising and trust the ad tech to put your message in front of the right audience at the right time. Your example shows that there's a lot of value in carefully crafting your message and putting thought into where to find your audience. Programmatic has its place, but its capabilities are massively overstated.

> Even if you're interacting with, say, a flat-earther and they categorically deny that we live on an oblate spheroid, and no amount of evidence or explanation will convince them, that can be frustrating.

This is a useful observation, because I was thinking about these kind of cases especially. Other cases are easier to explain away, but I think we're missing something that this kind of case captures: Why would someone be mad when a definitely wrong person disagrees with them? How is that their problem? I don't think ego or insecurity or any of these typical lay theories explain that at all. Is it just a matter of not getting what one wants, i.e. for there to be less wrong people in the world or something?

Why does the person have an impulse to control in the first place?
Do you think that's hyperbolic? What is your second favorite movie?
