According to https://yaqwsx.github.io/jlcparts/ the NE555DR costs 11.98¢ but of course not in a DIP. That's about as much as four Padauk microcontrollers these days—if you can find those in stock somewhere. JLCPCB doesn't include the CD4017 in their "basic parts" list; Digi-Key has them for 52¢ but doesn't have a DIP version in stock, just an SOIC.

The other night I took apart my cheap multimeter which claims "1000 V" and found no creepage clearance between the traces on the board. So far I haven't died measuring mains power with it but I don't think I'll do that anymore...

And while the list already includes Newton and Leibniz, nobody is proving calculus without Cauchy. There's no calculus without limits -- well, not unless you consider infinitesimal calculus, but that wasn't formalized until the mid-20th century.
> It’s worse in every way to null.

No, Optional is actually better than null because it's functorial. That means it obeys some common sense laws that one might intuitively expect. Instead of reciting the functor laws, I'll give you a concrete example.

Consider a `HashMap<K, V>` type with the following API:

get(key: K) -> Option<V>

So, `get` returns `None` if the key is not found in the map. That's the proper API one would expect. It forces the caller to acknowledge the possibility that the key might not be in the map.

However, if you try to do that with nulls instead of with Optional, it breaks if the value type is nullable, because nulls don't nest. For example, if your `get` method looks more like this:

get(key: K) -> V?

and you use it with a nullable valuable type like HashMap<String, Int?>, then when the `get` method returns null you have no idea if it's because the value was null or the key was not in the map. Then, every time you want to look something up in the map, you have to first check if it's in the map with a different method and then do your lookup. This is error prone, because if you forget to do the check first, your program now has a silent bug that the type checker does not detect.

You might think to yourself, "that's silly, why would I ever want to store nulls in a map?" Well, here's one of many possible use cases: suppose you are using the map as a cache, and you want to cache the fact that something doesn't exist. This is called negative caching, and it's occasionally useful.

Or maybe you're building some generic code (like a collections library) that happens to use hash maps internally. If the hash map's get method uses a nullable type instead of Optional for its result, then it's likely that your library does not work correctly for nullable types, because it's easy to accidentally assume that null indicates that the key was not found in the map. That kind of bug won't be caught by the type checker.

Nulls are bad. Optional is good.

We really need to teach category theory to programmers so people can stop making this mistake which leads to error-prone APIs and code with hidden bugs.
Not even. During the process and confusion caused by changing the pricing rubric, they'll make sure that you're paying more than you were paying before.
I pulled up one example, Exxon Mobile. Their net profit margin is 8.21%. BP is at 4.8%. Meanwhile the average for the S&P 500 is at 12.4%. So if these companies decided to operate as non-profits, we'd see maybe a drop from $5.00 gas to $4.80 or $4.70 (assuming the whole discount gets passed on to consumers). Prices were already up before Ukraine thanks to the resurgence of demand post-covid, but it certainly didn't help.

Also, please don't argue via linking obnoxious TikTok-style videos. If you have a point, make it yourself.
Apparently it's also rima in Rapanui, the language of Easter Island near Chile.

And the number two is even crazier, being roa in Malagasy and rua in Rapanui, so this word is shared from Madagascar all the way to Easter Island.

Honestly, I'd assume that pretty much any of these flaws are more fixable than you'd expect. We probably won't hit upon the right way for a while, since large models are so expensive, but with some trickery on the architectural level and bigger models, they'll spit out better and better art until it's indistinguishable from human level. Most of your brain is doing the same kind of dumb learning these models are, just much better and faster. There are some fundamental architectural differences, especially relating to the higher-level functions we associate with "consciousness" (working and short term memory, attention, maybe the executive?), but for almost every task you stick with the big dumb blob of compute and it gets the job done better than your higher faculties ever could. Don't underestimate the extent to which your brain plows through difficulties by throwing neurons at the problem until it goes away. Our biggest models are still a fraction of the size and a smaller fraction of the complexity of the bits of brain which perform the same function. I won't rule out anything until we see models of that scale.
Wondering if anyone savvier than me can breakdown this video. Some things I notice:

A 2-stage launch process: 1 to get out of the silo, a 2nd "main stage".

The orange-tinged smoke, mainly in the first stage.

Almost 0 acceleration between the first stage and main stage. (A bit nerve wracking!)

We see some barrel-like metal object get shot out from the side at the start of the main stage.

We also see multiple sealing (?) rings disengage from the fuselage in the start of the main stage.

What's your take on recruiters that cold contact you with a contact-to-hire (C2H) position?

I stopped responding with questions regarding all the red flags in that (why C2H? Culture problems? You hire and fire too rapidly to bother with benefits? You suck at screening candidates? Or are you just cheap?) and just go right into my contracting pitch.

"Hi, thanks for reaching out. I'm more than happy to engage FOOCORP as a contractor, I'll send over my MSA and when it's signed we can talk about first statements of work. I'm currently fully employed with benefits so my 1099 rate is (1.5x hourly) for weekend work under 10 hours, anything over that is a 40-hour week rate of (2.5x yearly salary). Once the MSA is signed I can have a phone conversation at $Y/hour. Send me the email address of your accounting department as well."

This never works, but it's fun to send. Some don't get the hint at all and try to still "have a chat" and burn up my time with whatever they want to talk about. Some don't get it until I mention an actual dollar amount to talk on at the phone. Most just want me in their LinkedIn contacts, which was probably the goal all along.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what they are trying to do.

My best guess is possibly it's an attempt at manipulating a suggestions algorithm, but I don't even persist query data so it's a bit of a waste. But maybe they think I'm backed by Google or Bing?
I've used GnuCash for 13 years now, for personal finances and two companies, and love it to death. There's something really satisfying when you see everything balance!

The only issues I've had over all these years have been banks/credit cards that have weird idiosyncrasies in their file formats (lookin' at you, AmEx) that require you to remove the trailing white space (bad memory, I have a text file that reminds me what to do every time) or whatever and getting stock updates (gnc-fq-update) working again after upgrade.

It's also really accessible. While slow and a little annoying, I can do almost everything with a keyboard instead of the mouse (unlike so much online tax software, which is a carpal tunnel specialist's dream).
My blog is about my hobbies: drawing, painting, sculpting and modeling.

As I blog about my projects and their progress, my static site generator will aggregate posts tagged with the same project name, so that the project's page will show a chronological build progress, as opposed to the typical reverse chronological listing on the blog's front page.

I think it's kinda neat and I haven't seen many other blogs that do this.
An important caveat is that the model isn't actually limited to generating full images from a single prompt, even if this perhaps how the author is interacting with it. The model can also be used for editing existing images, so you would be able to stack prompts while choosing the best intermediate results.

In Rust the edge cases are often more apparent because you're often forced to at least acknowledge them. So while you do have to put thought into handling them, you don't have to spend much thought finding or worrying about missing them.
Adjusted for inflation, the cheapest US small car at the start of the 1970s would be about $12,500 today. The average new car today, with similar interior space, is about twice that much money.
I'm 5'7" and don't recall ever being teased about my height specifically. Some of the bullies I grew up with were shorter than me. I certainly had a miserable time with online dating, and assumed height was a big factor, but it didn't make me feel short. My wife used to complain that she couldn't wear high heels while we were dating. We met on Tinder.

I was insecure about balding in my 20's, but buzz cutting my hair solved that. I got teased about the buzz cut at work for a few days, but it was simply well intended humor due to folk noticing the change.
Interesting, and that sort of jives with the reason I'm a bit put off by the idea - I think I'd find it too easy to ignore the lines because they're so much less visible than normal gridlines.

Yes, but he tried it too late. It is not like cancer would go away by eating fruits for a few weeks. Also eating raw diet doesn't mean one should not get modern medical treatment, especially for killer diseases like cancer. It would take years to undo decades of bad eating habits.

Eating raw is not a panacea. But it is a solid step in getting and maintaining a healthy body and mind, especially as one ages.
The finance world runs on tables. They want to ingest it, query it, join it, aggregate it ... and look at the result in tables. Tables are everywhere, and a generic tabular format is constantly useful for a la carte one off spontaneous data processing. I love strict schema validation as much as the next guy, but sometimes you just want to cut and paste a table.
> but you wouldn't expect them to command a ship.

I know what you mean, but I don't think it would merely be unexpected if one did somehow. I'm pretty sure it isn't possible because, being specialists, they can't also be a line officer. It seems like logic stops them, but then leads me to wonder about the vague possibility of a horribly unfortunate event leaving only specialists on-board... what then? Would logic stop them from sailing, or inexperience and lack of expertise?

the number of birds in our area is innumerable

You are very lucky. The last place I lived, the birds almost all disappeared over the course of about five years.

When i first moved there, I couldn't sleep past 5:30am because of the raucous dawn chorus. There were always birds around, and i had several feeders for them all.

By the time I moved away, the chorus was one bird. Maybe. And the feeders never got used.

From what I read on the internet, this is becoming more and more common.
The script at this gist [0] has been my starting point for disabling Apple daemons.

I typically have to spend some time bisecting this script to keep the few services I need (e.g. Messages) running. It's time-consuming because some services depend on others that have different names, so it's not as straightforward as simply re-enabling every daemon that contains the string "message."

Little Snitch [1] is also quite useful; it's probably easier to install LS with everything disabled and then gradually reenable the daemons you want. I use LS more than I use the above script these days...although LS still allows the daemons to run and consume CPU time, which the script stops. Probably best to use some combination of both approaches, and keep track of any edits you make to the script because Apple will likely reenable everything the next time you upgrade MacOS.

...as long as you make an honest effort to understand why things you don't like are the way they are and don't just think "hey, cool, I found another thing to add to my list of things I don't like about Go!". Go is very opinionated and does some things differently from the mainstream. So you'll have to adapt your programming style in order to use Go successfully.

Emojis have always been yet another way to hijack attention on the screen. It is exactly why they've been so successful. I say "hijack" because the capturing of attention on the internet in 2022 is primarily a function of ad driven platform capitalism, the tactics used by players in this system being dishonest, nefarious, harmful.

And while they succeed at this singular purpose they fail at the thing that actually made emoticons beautiful communication tools: their ambiguity. For example see the way the emoji lexicon had to be expanded in order to be racially inclusive. Emoticons never had this problem. A smiley is a smiley, simple, universal and forever. :)

It's the opposite, no? Basically every lazy language has some way to force evaluation, but in most strict languages laziness is never fully supported. Closest I can think of is a Scheme with continuations, but even then it takes some extra work. I know in CL even primitive laziness takes a lot of work and a code-walker, and whatever it's other flaws Common Lisp is at least adaptable.

Becoming reliant on additional external resources to survive is objectively backwards evolution.

You brought up oxygen reliance as a silly point but you're actually right. Humans relying on oxygen actually isn't that great, we can't go into space or underwater (without external support) and we get out of breath when exercising. A group of humans that evolved to not need oxygen at all would be a great genetic improvement.

Women that are in the photo without husbands are not necessarily single. Babies that look like that are not necessarily mixed race (assuming that's a thing that has some real meaning either way).
