I often use and hear "bubbling up" in non-tech discussions, too. It's not at all uncommon, IMO.
At the end of TFA there's an update from April 2022 that explains the author's current thoughts.
When I read the title of this post, Jon Bois was the first thing that came to mind. 17776 is one of my all time favorite websites, and my goto example of amazing hypertext fiction.

Agreed! For something as pedestrian as error handling, it's always surprising to me how much it seems there remains to explore.
I refinanced back in November. I'd say the process was very easy, at least compared to getting my original loan in 2015. Went through pre-approval online, talked to someone on the phone for 5 minutes, and was pretty much scheduled. E-signed a few docs and then they sent someone to my home to finalize it. From pre-approval to closing, the whole process took about 3 weeks.

My local rates were over 3% for a 15 year, they got me 2.25% + .25% in points.
Oh ffs... The water has been filtered and metals removed if I'm reading correctly. It contains a higher amount of tritium.

Side note, seems like this could be sold to some research labs, no? Seems like if you need tritium using this rather than ocean water would be a good thing.
> They ship userdebug builds as production releases

`userdebug` is used to have a few specific debugging capabilities that aren't available on a `user` ROM. Note that this is not the same as the standard `userdebug`, as most security measures that would otherwise get removed are manually reinstated.

> pretend to support devices past their vendor EOL (which is impossible since Lineage can't provide security updates for firmware etc.)

So... no security fixes at all are better in your opinion?

> ship the F-Droid Privileged Extension (which uses an incorrect approach to implementing unattended updates),

Where are you getting this from? Neither F-Droid nor its privileged extension is included in the system.

> don't support locking the bootloader to enable verified boot on many supported devices

There is nothing that inherently prevents you from relocking your bootloader on LineageOS. But technically, something may go wrong at any time, so it neither is officially supported nor endorsed, and the keys necessary for relocking the bootloader are not provided.

If someone wants to, they can always just build LineageOS themselves (with all system modifications built-in, because anything else would break the signature), sign it with their own keys, and reconfigure their bootloader to use that key.
That is for a subset of a larger system, not for a closed system. A closed system has fixed energy in classical.

So for example, if you have a gas as a closed system, takes a part of that, then you can measure that parts energy distribution by just accumulating the different micro states, yes. But if you view that part as a closed system, then if it has higher energy then it has higher temperature (if it is in the same phase) and thus energy will on average flow out of it to the other parts, if it didn't have higher temperature then it would be a stable system and that part would just have higher energy, which we know doesn't happen in for example gasses, (but it can happen with phase transitions, like an ice cube in water).

Edit: And it doesn't make sense to talk about temperature of subsets of systems. Temperature only deals with what happens when you connect two large systems, it is a macroscopic property, so when you calculate temperature you always deal with calculate that via entropy of closed systems.

So Boltzmann distribution happens when you have calculated the temperature for a macroscopic system as if it was closed, and then you start to calculate properties of some subsystem of that, that is how you get Boltzmann distribution. Not sure how you think these things were derived, have you tried reading a physics book on the subject and gone through how the formulas are derived?

Also, in these calculations you never ever mix two temperatures in a single system, as that isn't stable. The formulas only works for stable states. So if you have two different temperatures you have two different systems.

Edit Edit: I can't post more since I sometimes post stupid political stuff. Anyway, I answered your post already, the formulas we are talking about here doesn't deal with the case where systems of different temperatures interact. They only work for closed systems. If you heat a subset of a room to a higher temperature, then you now have a dynamic system where energy flows out of that subset, none of the formulas we have discussed here applies in that scenario. You can use them to calculate approximate properties of the systems by treating them as if they were closed though, still the Boltzmann distribution doesn't apply there for the entirety of those subsystems, since it assumes that everything surrounding it has the same temperature, which in your scenario the surroundings do not.

Anyway, all of these formulas are derived based on completely closed systems with no transfer of energy or particles. that is the source of entropy calculations, if you want to understand entropy you have to deal with such systems. Boltzmann's law is an example of a formula derived from entropy calculations, you can't use that to talk about entropy.

(Note, I learned these things in another language than English, so I might use the wrong words for some things, but I know how statistical physics, temperature and entropy works, are derived etc)
Lately I've had comments swing wildly dozens of points in each direction and also flagged. Brigadiering has come to HN and is getting worse over time. There seems to be a growing segment of internet users who wish to cleanse perceived wrong think, it is disturbing and not what flags/downvotes are for. It also feels like there is more bots.
That's true. But if GDP per capita goes up, even if GDP goes down, your odds of having society being better off as a result are much better than if GDP goes up while GDP per capita goes down.
If there are fewer people to consume the fruits of productivity, does GDP decline matter?
I've heard Denver is extremely popular because you have all the amenities of a big city (They even have a Six Flags!), yet is right next to beautiful mountains and nature. Some parts even still have a small town feel.

Of course, I've also heard that a significant fraction of those moving in are single men, to the point where the city has gotten the nickname "Menver".
Heart attacks aren't caused by the heart itself failing but rather by arterial occlusion. Even if it were possible to build such a secondary artificial heart (it isn't) the risks of implantation surgery would far outweigh any possible benefits.

Salt is an essential nutrient. Hypertension does increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, but eating salt doesn't necessarily cause hypertension. The issue is with osmolality rather than quantity. (And genetics area huge factor.)

Yeah I wonder if price point is justified or not.

It sounds like you're an individual contributor and want off that track and on to the management track.

Or to you, is "management" simply the next level beyond individual contributorship? I won't work for an employer that doesn't plan for career advancement in BOTH tracks - management is great, but for every one of you who sees career advancement as managing others, there's someone like me who wants to stay the hell away from that while still finding room to advance my career as an individual contributor.

Any thoughts?
>Also due to the fact that we stopped building new homes after 08.

That's easily refuted with a quick search.

Likely text containing URLs, though, which your email client likely helpfully auto-formats into links. Which is why spammers would bother. They need you to go visit something to make money.

There are types of bulk unsolicited email/web-comments which involve text without links, but they aren't spam per se; they're (the initial bait emails for) scams.

(And the usual solution to scam postings on forums, is to prevent people from sharing any off-forum contact details, except maybe via forum private message. No Nigerian prince is going to run their whole scam through the forum; they want/need to convert you ASAP into having a non-intermediated conversation with them. So they won't bother with any forum where they can't stuff their email address / Telegram handle / etc into each post.)
In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31193260 the author clarified that he’s changed jobs twice yet “It doesn't matter that I don't personally write Go anymore: it's unescapable.” I’m also worried about this because of trends at my day job despite having joined a sharp, experienced Scala/Java team.

I have to use a Raspberry Pi 3B+ since I gave my main machine to my girlfriend whose in dire need of a new system.

Here's a quite recent (yet outdated) screenshot of my DE in use:
https://i.imgur.com/zn2gHtu.png

It's fine. Almost. I'm using neovim as my editor, gnome terminal as my terminal emulator (with bash/tmux) and epiphany for surfing the web - mostly one tab at a time since it can't handle more than that easily.

The thing I like most about this setup is how it keeps my focus centered on a task as there are not many possibilities for distraction. No absent minded web surfing, no binge-watching on YouTube and so on. But every now and then the entire system freezes completely and I have to disable a lot of useful neovim plugins (e. g. LSP).
Free to play, no registration, no install, no gimmicks, just pure game.

I agree with the headline, but the article does not seem to be describing Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett... :)
I have applecare so never been an issue. It used to be you could get a battery replacement (official) for $50.

Don't disagree, they should make genuine batteries broadly available.
Point taken that their scope is more broad than food tox, but again, read their description of what they publish and then ask yourself whether safety profiles of vaccines fit into that description.

You can do one better - search their records for all of the prior safety work they've done on vaccines:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/search?qs=vaccine&pub=Food%20a...

Given that they have absolutely no history of assessing overall vaccine safety or toxicology, how prepared do you think they are to appropriately assess this one? Do you think the reviewers who work with this journal have the expertise to properly weight the claims in the submitted paper?

Vaccine safety research is published in vaccine journals, or medical journals, or infectious disease journals, or immunology journals, or rheumatology journals because those journals all have experts that can actually critically review the submissions. When people publish 'controversial' research for a field of study, in a journal outside the scope of that field, they're promoting nonsense ~100% of the time.
> "No debt" is synonymous to freedom on so many levels in life design.

No debt is indeed great freedom in general.

But housing is different. Do you plan to live somewhere? You still have to pay for it. For as long as you live you'll need to live somewhere and that means paying for it. Whether you call it rent or mortgage, you're still paying, there's no escape.

So, within those constraints, it is better to invest in a house than to enrich someone else for the rest of your life.
The depths of all the lakes except Eerie are below mean sea level. It would require a prolonged period of new orogeny for the lakes to disappear. Since that hasn't happened in a few billion years in the area, it's more likely that the sun will expand to encompass the orbit of the Earth and vapourize the entire planet first.

Hardly something that will happen in a few thousand years. But you never know.
Awesome, that's truly great to know, makes total sense in fact nothing is 0.00% pure or safe in nature and that's beautiful.

Don't fall prey to an ad-hominem argument - I don't think your article negatively hints at any kind of 'this is a Rust fanboy-made praise text' and it saddens me that a genuinely legit article like this needs to have the author defend himself like this.

Your points were well explained. Go has several serious warts which, in my own opinion, are showstoppers, and you are comparing it to a language which is somewhat newer and had more time to mature and of course, learn from other designs and their decisions as well.

Generics were intentionally left out, for example, because of the fear-mongering claim that "if you have generics your code is going to automatically become the C++'s STL at some point". After many years, the lack of even minimal generics got so bad they figured they'd start to lose share to rising languages like Nim, Rust and even the old grandpa C#, now portable everywhere with the Core stuff. It is very clear how badly bolted and rushed generics were in Go.

Rust has its warts as well and the language spec is already starting to become somewhat... large. We need to be careful not to invent C++2.0 right? ;-)

Anyways, just wanted to say this to you in hopes it'd lighten the mood and validate that you are in a good path with these articles. It was a very insightful reading for me. Thank you.
I have a Pi3 which I use as a general purpose server for experimenting and general utility. It’s so handy:

I use it to automate a large Jekyll-based static site, downloading RSS feeds and committing the content back to GitHub

It runs a few different Twitter bots.

It runs Calibre Web so I can serve my ebook collection via the Web and OPDS.

It’s an Airplay receiver.

It runs Home Assistant.

I also use it as a dev environment if I’ve only got access to an iPad.

There is the other angle to global warming beyond CO2, that heat engines produce heat itself which directly heats the Earth.

I hadn’t thought of that angle until I read Gerald K. O’Neil’s book 2081

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2081:_A_Hopeful_View_of_the_Hu...

The upshot being at a certain point it would be wise move heavy industry into space.

Of course rocket fuel production, rocket launches, and material orbital de-acceleration down to Earth would be issues.

My point being that Nuclear power will at some point have its own issues.

Edit: GOK’s book in question being 2081, not 2086 (confused with Japanese Anime ‘Thunderbirds 2086’

> Swift isn't GC, but is reference counted

GC is often an umbrella term that includes reference counting.

Almost all serious tracing GCs include some aspect of reference counting, and almost all serious reference counting GCs include some aspect of tracing.
Whoa. That’s very different from the last time I checked, perhaps they changed either their plans or their structure. I saw it previously as additional storage I’d have to add. 100G would be enough! Wow thank you!
To some approximation. The Actor Model formalism [0] requires certain properties, notably:

1. Communication solely by asynchronous message passing

2. A mailbox per actor that means the reception of messages and the processing of them is decoupled (i.e. an actor can receive new messages even when processing a previously-received message).

The OO model in general supports that paradigm. Pretty much all mainstream OO languages are synchronous by default though. Call a method and the caller is suspended until the method returns. Multiple clients can call methods on the same object concurrently, but doing that safely requires some form of locking/protection to be implemented in the target object. Stated alternatively: threads in mainstream OO languages run "across" objects, whereas each actor has its own thread in the Actor model.

There are certainly similarities - in the sense that both actors and objects encapsulate state, with reading/writing occurring through well-defined interfaces (messages and methods respectively). But the threading model is quite different - it's not just a matter of scale.

Well how would you prefer they make an announcement? "Copilot.com, no, not that one, don't worry, the one you've never heard of, is closing"?
> As a side-note, is any tech group more keen on title inflation than SREs? In the time I've been a developer / software-engineer I've seen sys admin, DevOps, Cloud Ops, SRE... it's literally the same people.

That's not the fault of people doing the work, that's what the industry is doing to us.

I get increasingly irritated with the myth that 'DevOps' are any different than the sysadmins of 10 years ago.

"But DevOps can code", yes, so could sysadmins, in fact, terraform, ansible, vagrant, saltstack, chef, puppet etc;etc;etc are all made by people who held the title of sysadmin when they were written.

In fact the term "DevOps" was originally from a conference, where the idea was that "we can do systems administration in an agile way" -- NOTHING to do with coding, everything to do with getting developers and sysadmins working closely together in an iterative fashion.

I would personally be very happy being called a sysadmin, but doing so is career suicide, because we as an industry have decided that sysadmins are somehow braindead, and that you really need "SREs" or "DevOps" -- despite the fact that these are the same people.

What gets my goat even more is that people hate on sysadmins because of corporate culture, echos of centralised IT organisations that said no to everything.

But we're doing exactly the same thing with these new titles now. It's a joke.
I do this in HTML with Vue. It lends itself pretty well to building calculators. Those calculator templates are self-contained, so I just use them all over my website.

See here: https://allaboutberlin.com/tools

Perhaps there are tools that do this, but the use case is fairly simple: variable substitution based on user input. For that, I'd stick to simple, client-side tools.
"This article oddly includes "depreciation", but (anecdotally) I've never heard of this being confused with "deprecation"."

Then you may be in for an instance of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon [1] now. It's very widespread. Sometimes it feels like I see "depreciation" more than "deprecation". I've even heard people say out loud "depreciation" several times.

I'm so excited to learn this. And, that he thinks it is a terrible idea.

Maybe the takeaway is that you have to trick (or lie to) your brain somehow when you want to do something bigger than you can imagine.

Maybe this is why some really nutty people have done amazing things.
A lot of commodity inputs into food production are up way more than 8.5% (e.g., corn, wheat). And a lot of the farmers inputs (e.g., energy, fertilizer) are up more than 8.5%.

The 8.5% is a weighted, blended average of a lot of things.

So it could be reasonable that if you were selling bread, that the price would need to go up more than 8.5%.

The question is whether their profit margins are up? I don't know.

I used to travel with a heavy pack: desktop replacement laptop, a tablet, two phones, maybe a portable game console, some books, etc.

I sprained my ankle getting off a bus on a business trip to NYC and did a lot of hopping around on one leg. An injury like that takes maybe six months to heal, experts aren't sure if it ever really heals.

Since then I travel with the laptop and one phone and I'm also aggressive about minimizing what I carry in terms of clothes, toiletries, etc. I live in a rural area where the shopping is awful so if I go to a big city I might buy some clothes and even a bag to put them in. (I used to be a big fan of socks from the Nike store until they discontinued the large size.)
Most "wealthy" people, by definition, are not "ultra wealthy". That's where the majority of the wealth is - but there's far better schemes to avoid taxes for that group.

> The definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative gdp growth

That’s not the definition of a recession:

> the often-cited identification of a recession with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth is not an official designation. The designation of a recession is the province of a committee of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a private non-profit research organization that focuses on understanding the U.S. economy. The NBER recession is a monthly concept that takes account of a number of monthly indicators—such as employment, personal income, and industrial production—as well as quarterly GDP growth.

In my experience unions of logics that are computationally bound and nice don't end up computationally bound and nice. There are lots of cases where step A is only permits things that are computationally nice and step B only permits things that are computationally nice, but being able to do both A and B permits things that are computationally bad for just about any definition of badness you want to use.

I'm claiming the common logical framework won't have all the nice properties that come from the careful restriction in each of the individual logics.
I'm going to be blunt. Unless you are a rockstar that is irreplaceable in the organization, no one is going to give two shits about what you say in an exit interview. Your management isn't totally blind or naive. They know whats going on, but there are always reasons as to why they can't or won't act to change the situation. Typically, its because their manager is unresponsive or unwilling to change.

Once you understand that nothing you can say or do in an exit interview will matter at all, then it makes sense to be as non-confrontational as possible in order to preserve any references you might have at that company. Prioritize your own career and well-being over any corporation.
I concede that you must be a very altruistic and empathetic person.
I didn’t consider citation needed to be a “mean” thing to say.
Yeah. This is kinda what really good media reviewing should look like. An earnest, thoughtful explanation of why this book (or movie, or whatever) is important and worth absorbing.
For black and white photos / etchings, etc. I can see it. But yeah, the colour will always look washed out, like older newsprint.

I too would really dig an e-ink terminal. Just needs to do VT-100 sequences and let me run Emacs. But I think it's likely a niche product.

Agreed, although it’s not always fire-and-forget (i.e. send a message and don’t wait for a response). Actors generally do support request/response style messaging, but it’s always async - it’s really only synchronous request/response communication that’s not allowed.
Why not both? Mastodon works well for many, but I definitely agree that there's space for another blogging-focused AP implementation or even a new protocol!
