I don't know what you mean by "rewrite native/built-in things using frameworks", the things you are talking about require using frameworks. You need a framework for RPC. You also need a framework for distributed shared memory.
As I understand, the limits regulate the total capacity of the installation not the actual amount of electricity produced.
I feel like Elon hasn't realized what realm of shit he's waded into. He thought dealing with the FTC was bad before. I think it's going to be much worse trying to take Twitter in the direction he wants to take it under EU and US government scrutiny.
I'm pretty certain that the systems of today have the same foundations as those of yesterday, we've just abstracted them away so we don't directly see it as often.

The operating system (based on Linux) is open source. For some reason, people call the OS image firmware when it is on an "embedded" device. I rather mean the firmware of the e-ink driver board, which is a trade secret. I don't know, maybe it is not even firmware in an MCU, but they have a dedicated driver chip and it just has the look-up-tables. Anyway, the secret sauce that tells you how to drive the display cells.
Right. Are there any faliure stories since they seemingly never get highlighted?
It also makes cycling credentials easy. All you have to do is update the values in the vault. No need to hunt down all those places where you set environment variables.

I think you don’t even need to redeploy any long-running tasks. If they have a connection open, it should continue working, and if they don’t, they should consult the vault when they open one and get the new credentials from it (this may be different for different kinds of credentials)

There will be a race condition between creating credentials and storing them in the vault, but even that can be avoided:

- create new credentials with same rights as the old ones
- update vault
- delete old credentials

Another race where credentials get changed between reading them from the vault and using them can’t be avoided, but if you wait a few minutes before you delete the old credentials, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll hit it.
Yes. Rust probably should have a built-in pimpl-y construct, in lieu of user-codable moves. (Maybe it does, by now? Dunno.)
Like, drastically lower. You can buy a 450 watt panel at a retail outlet for less than $200.

I don't know ryandamm, so I can't judge whether he is pro- or anti-vax, but you should be fact checking every article before sharing it.

Doing basic checks like "what else did the authors publish" seem fairly sensible.
That's really cool, although I don't share the feelings about macOS with the author.

People have been complaining about Apple ever since I started using Mac OS X in 2003, and of course before that as well. For each release, someone on Slashdot was complaining about it being too Windows-like, or too locked down, or the UX was just all wrong.

All in all, I feel it's been a ride well worth being a part of. Right now I'm on Mojave and to me that's probably the most ideal macOS experience I've ever seen.
>At first, I was a little put off by how "batteries not included" the standard library was in rust, but I ended up preferring it. The quality of the rust community has generally made library selection pretty easy.

I still think it would be good to have a rust installer where you get a set of "almost standard" libraries pre-installed. So that in companies where you have to get everything approved, you could get this package approved.
If shadowbanning was actually a big problem than people would expose it in a heartbeat through browser extensions that attempted to read your posts using a different identity. I’ve been shadowbanned before, most of the time by an overzealous spam filter, your own “junk” folder is literally works through “shadowbanning”. Usually I notice almost instantly if I’ve been shadowbanned since it’s pretty apparent when engagement with you drops to zero.

Shadowbanning on a social media website is nothing more than a simple deception and it’s neither all that effective or all that menacing and I do wonder why people are so obsessed with the idea.
(4) is me, as I have a wife and young son. I have great friendships and relationships in work, but my non-work time is with my family. Not as rare as you’d think.
Indeed, the entire city. In e.g. Amsterdam (a relatively tiny area, high tourism density) or Venice, in areas things have been pushed over. It's a spiral. E.g. something simple as "pharmacies" or "supermarkets". They leave/close because of less demand. Which decreases liveability, causing more locals to move out, causing more such businesses to close etc. These effects come next to "increasing house prices".

It really is so problematic that cities like Berlin, Amsterdam (and I believe Venice) and many more crack down on AirBnBs. Hard. You are allowed to rent out the apartment where you live, but for limited time and with high fines or even extradiction on renting out beyond the limits (e.g. 90 days per year). You are certainly no longer allowed to have AirBnBs for the sole purpose of renting out to AirBnb.

Edit: and in e.g. Berlin, AirBnB does not hand over the data of their users/renters (which Is good, I presume). So they have people scanning the renting-websites, visting homes and even posting outside to find evidence something is rented out beyond the allowed duration.

I suggest you look into “UX Research”. That’s precisely the role described by the parent comment. They work on a product team with designers, engineers, and PMs to help everyone else understand the needs of the user. They also help define who the user should be based on the needs of different kinds of users. It’s a pretty important role in most user-facing tech companies.
Garmin uses them extensively in both their smart watches and handheld GPS devices like the GPSmap series. The displays are not very impressive as far as color reproduction or contrast goes, but the readability in bright sunlight is superb - way better than any LCD or OLED screen. Which is far more important for outdoor devices.
Literally anyone or anything? Repairing vessels is hardly an unsolved engineering challenge.
He definitely used a significant amount of elbow grease on this project. I’m sure that it was at least a year’s worth of work for him, but he actually gave this same talk several times that year so I bet he came out ahead.

On the other hand, Regex::Debugger is something I really miss when I am working in any other language. I think Perl is unique in having a real debugger for regexes. The closest analogue is re-builder in Emacs, which lets you type a regex and see how it matches against a bunch of sample text. Very useful, but not the same as stepping through the regex.
>> Definitely regret it now; I've since developed some joint issues in my fingers that make it difficult to play, and often wonder if sticking with it would have helped prevent that

I would not loose any sleep over that. Most music performance is a repeat movement which causes great stress for tendons and it could potentially make it worse. There really isn't anyhthing speciall or natural in playing instrument - its as artificial as typing on keyboard.

And I say this as someone who loves practicing on guitar (and been doing it for at least 15 years without any success really and had my own deal of joint problems). And for last few months I started to take keyboard touch typing seriously which really does not help.
No, they didn't. Back in the day Google sold 'Google-In-A-Box' which was a rack mounted hardware device that you installed into your company's server rack (either on-prem or in a hosted data centre) and once configured it crawled all your internal resources and presented an internal search engine with all the power of Google search.

Although a good idea in principle, I found it cumbersome to configure and it only (at the time) supported ftp and http based resources - if your company made heavy use of Windows file shares you couldn't index them without also serving them over ftp or http.

I believe later versions improved on that though, but by then it was a dead product, and Google discontinued it.
Either Rust gets this, or almost everybody who might otherwise have coded Rust, someday, will be obliged to "write C++ instead". Or something. Letting your favorite language fizzle because you want to force everybody else's implementation schedule to match your biases is a peculiar choice.

I don't mind, personally, if Rust fizzles, but it seems like you ought to care.
Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1oTf-1EchU
I've been on a plane with a dog three or four rows behind me, and was stuffy and sneezing for most of the flight. And my allergies aren't even that severe. Sure, maybe it would have been fine had the dog been 10 rows back, but maybe not, and maybe not for someone with more severe allergies.

Then again, sometimes we just have to suck it up and deal with it, and hope the airline staff can do what they can to separate the animals from the people with allergies as much as possible. While there are certainly some people who bizarrely can't go anywhere without their pet (and I personally don't care if we don't make accommodations for them), but people do legitimately need to travel with their pet sometimes, and we need safe ways to do that. We have two cats, and if we were to move to somewhere far enough away that driving were infeasible, I would want to travel with them in-cabin.
Reference counting is GC. There are no pauses, but incrementing and decrementing a counter on every touch isn’t free either.

That seems tricky. Climbing, I was always taught to make the commands unambiguous. You never say "take in the slack" because on a windy day that can sound awfully like "I need slack". Each command should be distinct.
Allowing choice is a big overhead with almost no benefit. It's not worth that little bit of optimization in certain circumstances.
> Being hired in country A, for a company that has presence in both A and B, and then flying and working for a few months in B, could conceivably raise all sorts of flags if noticed.

My employer adopted a similar policy (just not as publicly announced as Airbnb's), and the way they work around this problem is by, assuming you reside in A, allowing you to travel and work in B but explicitly disallowing you from entering an office location in B.

Self-imposed limits on imagination do not restrict the possibilities and imagination of government agencies, nor restrict what other people think is "fair and reasonable"

Like you, I also wish the world worked in the way I like to imagine it should.
That's odd. I found almost every point on that list immediately actionable.

- Use the work "but" less often (I can practice this today with my partner).
- Start looking for a new job if you work for someone you can't see yourself becoming (I can start looking for ads right away).
- Spend more time with fewer people (I could make a phone call right now).
- Try to forgive more often (there a conflicts in my life that I could get out of right now if I could forgive them).
- Criticize in private, praise in public (I'm guilty of the opposite at work, this is a good reminder that I should try to improve).

I'm not sure that "banal" is a good measure for whether something is important or not. I often ignore banal things because I forget, or don't want to remember. Having a list might actually help. Although I agree that having a list of banalities is not enough to make a difference. You definitely have to put in work as well. Thanks for reminding me.
Weren't the terms used to connote alliance with the US (first world) or the USSR (second world) and third world meant non-aligned?
I was amused that the point after that has a "but" in it and using this rule invalidates the message...
Any link please? Why avoiding to answer here directly?
I mean, tossing candy out of the window is littering. Unless you are the kind of parent who allows your kids to litter they will pick up on this inconsistency.

This is the cardinal mistake many parents make: They assume you can just tell kids how they are supposed to behave, and they will somehow extract the right lesson from your words and learn it.

In reality kids observe and learn from your behavior. That means the lesson here could as well be: "If you are the stronger one, you can make the rules. And the rules don't have to make sense and if you are in the right position you can break them yourself and be mean to others."

Which is ofc the polar opposite of what you sought to teach them. If you reason with your kids even of they are unreasonable, you teach them that reasoning is a good way of dealing with problems. If you explain to them why they are not allowed to do certain things you teach them there are reasons and they should be curious about the reasons behind the rules.

I'm sure there is a attractiveness bias, but these studies barely find an effect. Seriously, look at figure 2. It's invisible to the eye without statistical tools. I'm really suspicious of this result.
It's certainly reasonable to expect colleges to be 'trade schools' for many skilled trades, traditionally that was the main purpose of universities. A traditional classical university has/had four faculties - medicine, law, theology and philosophy (some centuries later separated in many subfields from natural science to humanities), and the first three of them quite explicitly were there to prepare "skilled tradesmen" to work as doctors, lawyers and clergy. Afterwards in the industrial age many other colleges and academies were explicitly formed to prepare various disciplines of engineers that the growing industry needed, again, the primary focus being skilled workers not science.

Of course, there is a place for liberal arts colleges and research-focused universities, but that's far from being the only role of universities; and IMHO our society needs a dozen software engineers for each computer scientist, so universities can't focus only on the latter.
Something being legal doesn't make it ethical. I'm also disgusted by this attitude of "screw you and the labor you invested to create and share this recipe."
This is not correct. There is probably a special deal between the UK and USA, but there isn't anything similar for Americans working in most EU countries, and the rules are per country.

The article says they can get 1 liter for every 20 watts. So that'd give them 17,597 ounces per kWh.
I wouldn’t care about this change if App Store developers could host apps outside of the store. It would be fine if “old” versions of an app could only be found on a companies website instead of being given “free” advertising through the store.

However since this isn’t true, then I feel this change is unfair.

It’s unfair to developers because of the reasons in the article. It’s unfair to customers because suddenly their older phones are neutered by having less apps.

It’s a good example of why it’s not good to have a single company dictate the use of a platform.
My allergies aren't too bad, but they are still worlds worse than sitting next to someone who smells bad.

I have two cats and love them to death, but if I were to fly with them, I would volunteer to move to a different seat if I found out I was seated near someone with bad allergies.
I guess that is my answer.
> But the point of general aviation is that it should be affordable as a personal hobby for a significant amount of people.

Why?
To maintain your knowledge of whether the gaps cause problems, you need to know why they cause problems.

And for newer rules, you need to know why to double check that the rules have been made well.

Not to outsource my thinking, but it’s not my idea. I only noticed the effect once he pointed it out, and then it seemed obvious.

The refutation to this is three children. If it was true that someone’s character wasn’t inborn, then we should see consistent effects on a middle child on average. But middle children seem equally random. My wife’s sister is an introvert and her other sister an extrovert, and it’s hard to square that with upbringing.

I predict in the future embryo selection will become a new cultural battleground. We’re having a daughter nine months after June, and we know this because it’s now possible to select which gender you want during IVF. It seems a matter of time till the introversion genes are similarly selected for.
On top of that: if they thought that kid before that littering is bad, the kid might spot that inconsistency and take away a different lesson altogether — that rules don't need to be followed if you are making them.
First world -- NATO member states

No, nobody needs punishment. It may achieve momentary compliance, but always sabotages long-term important goals of trust and safety.

Negative consequences are best experienced naturally, e.g., “You made art on the walls with crayons even after I asked you not to? Well, here’s my advice on how to clean the wall.” Punishment imposes additional suffering (“consequences”) in hopes that it is a deterrent. In fact, mostly it deters the victim from the punisher, not the behavior.

I think you're wrong about this -- as I understood it, the term is a relic of the cold war. "First World" nations were aligned with the US, "Second World" were communist or communist-aligned, and "Third World" were not associated with either.

After the collapse of the USSR "Third World" became primarily associated with impoverished nations.
They are called review journals (and then eventually textbooks).

It’s a category error to imagine any single paper is “true” - it’s basically just a bit of semi- reliable evidence that contributes towards finding the truth. The process is robust (over sufficient time) to errors in any individual paper.
Recipes specifically are not copyrighted because no lawmaker wants to throw grandma in jail for copying the side of a box. I think they technically count as "facts" which aren't copyrightable (e.g. whisking egg whites and sugar is going to eventually get you a meringue)

A lot of "secret" family recipes usually have their origin in something like this.

One of the exciting things about the immaturity of software engineering is that you don't need a Ph.D. and years of study to push the state of the art. You just need to get pissed at that stupid library why is it doing it this way UGH FINE I'LL WRITE MY OWN!

Grats, you're pushing the boundary of the discipline.

I think what this argument misses is the complete monopoly Apple has over distribution. This is not about backwards compatibility and tech debt, this is about distribution.

Yes, you can keep an old device around to use old apps or play old games. But to do that you must have preinstalled the old app, and that device can never be broken or reset, lest you lose the app.

The analogy to VHS is not a bad one, but when VHS players (and DVDs, and BluRays) stopped being current, all the old players and tapes didn’t stop working. That is the power that Apple has right now - to remove old apps from existence even for devices and operating systems that support them completely.

Same as the argument about the Mac - sure, new macs don’t run PPC software. But old ones do. And importantly, I can still install old software on an old Mac.

Remember the reports of phones with Flappy Bird selling for a premium of hundreds and hundreds of dollars? For a digital good that has no nominal cost, that shouldn’t be possible. It is only possible because of Apples monopoly on app distribution for the iPhone. You will not see a premium on a Windows 3.1 machine with Doom preinstalled, or a DVD player that comes with a copy of Lord of the Rings in it. Only Apple can do that, and it’s that power that people are upset by.
Some fools will spell JAVA and GIT as things on their resume. Massive negative signal. This one I honestly calibrated: biggest sign you’re a clown is if you call this shit JAVA. Not even Fortran calls itself that.

I don't think dealing with core dumps is that uncommon if you work close to the infrastructure level and the environment comprises many different technologies and high machine count.

In my case of high performance Java, core dumps were immensely useful for investigating issues like JVM bugs (C2 compiler bugs, GC bugs, classloader bugs) but also kernel bugs and hardware issues as well.

The thing about being biased towards saying yes, but insisting they ask, seems to be very powerful. We’ve never hidden sweets, we don’t have a lot around but when we do they’re accessible. We’ve always told the children to ask if they want sweets and that the answer will usually be yes unless there’s a reason, like it’s meal time soon or we’re saving those sweets for some reason.

Trusting us that the answer would be yes (and we had to follow through on that occasionally), but having to ask created just enough of a barrier that our girls rarely bothered with sweets. They’ve never been a big deal to them, but I know a lot of parents have huge problems with sweets ‘stealing’ and sometimes when other kids come round we find out afterwards all our sweets have been cleaned out.
With the right options, zstd can compress quite a bit better than bzip2 and gzip. Albeit probably not as fast as gzip, because squeezing out that extra compression space is a trade for speed.
