Java projects can get complex and editors (like IntelliJ can provide much better tooling when configured).

At my last job we had a mono-repo with the .idea directory (for IntelliJ) commited. For Java projects IntelliJ needs to sometimes be directed to understand what folders are “resources” to allow better autocompletion and highlighting.
For example specifying custom java faces components directory that will be used once the application is packaged into a war file, so IntelliJ knows they are accessible from JSP html files, and will autocomplete and show you what attributes you can modify on the component.

It’s definitely not a never situation. You can commit only certain files from the configuration (project settings not editor preferences)
If you watch the video, he talks about ending free speech, while throwing "special needs" insults.

This is dehumanizing, not polite. Standard example of corporate lingo - pretending not to be accusatory when you clearly are. Furthermore, it's worded in a way that you expect things to just happen, the way you dictate them.
Totally agree. Also, Prime used to be a premium service where any item taking longer than two days got you a service credit. Those days are long gone.
Do you plan to support relational models? I cannot use Appwrite because our application absolutely requires a relational database.
Ask HN: Rollbar for Swift not thread safe, need alternative
We're a satisfied user of Rollbar across all the platforms our app supports. We recently discovered an issue with our new Swift app: "I got an update from the SDK engineer that the Rollbar logger is not currently 100% thread safe. His recommendation was to have a separate Rollbar instance for each thread." What Rollbar alternatives are y'all happy with?
A nifty setup until you run a git command like `git clean -fx` somewhere under your home directory that you think is another git directory but isn't. Happy restore from backups time.
It's you who came up with "livestock" and "sheeple", not me.

What I'm pointing out is that if we are scared of some omnipotent AI, we shouldn't discard existing omnipotent entities simply because they consist of people and not just transistors. What they are built from is an implementation detail; what matters is what they look "from outside". It's Artificial Intelligence, not Silicon Intelligence.

So, if we treat both as black boxes, how is this theoretical omnipotent AI different from existing human governments?
Is that why Bob Woodward, and the other leakers of the Trump tapes and Project Veritas (PV) are still not convicted yet or even sued for those leaks without any retractions in their books or videos for everyone to see?

If it was illegal Woodward's book would have been successfully banned, taken off of sale and PV would have been taken down along time ago and they still haven't.
There are other national domain schemes with educational subdomains. 'ac.uk' and 'edu.au' being two of which I'm aware.

A listing of top global educational institutions would only have a few thousand entries.

It's not without some irony that I note that the early, and much belated, Internet was largely edu domains, along with a handful of tech firms, government agencies, and military entities.
It's not clear to me why a major central bank would be interested in establishing a distributed currency that competes with their own centrally-managed currency.

Maybe it sort of possibly makes sense for a central bank in a small country where the politics are such that policy makers have decided to compete for the attention of the crypto industry. But a major central bank?
> The synthesis still doesn't know where to place emphasis.

True. And yet, these samples aren't in a monotone! That's an enormous improvement.

> You may be unable to distinguish between POOR human voice work and TTS, but not GOOD human reading.

I think these are indistinguishable from AVERAGE human voice work. Keep in mind that the POOR voice work you may have in mind is probably still being done by someone who is, at least nominally, a paid professional.

*> Try e.g. Michelle at: https://cloudpolly.berkine.space/

I'm not able to select a voice other than Oscar (which is definitely worse than this).
Yes it is a problem when a project involves more than a few people. If there are really common ignores that multiple people use, it’s fine to share those. But one-off folder & file ignores should not be dumped into the shared space. It has nothing to do with disk space, and everything to do with clean semantic project organization. Shared ignores should be primarily a declaration of temporary files & folders that the project produces during build/run/etc. - things that everyone will need. Adding personal folder ignores to the shared .gitignore can not only be confusing about what intermediate artifacts are expected, it can cause problems or conflicts for other people. A small dumb example is if someone tries to make a new shared folder and someone else already shared an ignore. I’ve seen it happen, and it’s not a big deal, but caused temporary confusion. You can cause issues with git history and pulls and bisects when there’s churn with the ignores.

You spend far more time porting python libraries to rust when you can just use python for the vast majority of use cases.
The author still had to write the prompt, edit it, etc. these are still skills that are (imho) more valuable than the writing itself. It is no more “assistive” than turning “waht” into “what”. In both cases the computer must infer what I mean and replace it with the appropriate string.

Legalities do matter here. The definition is “taking someone else’s work.” AI (currently) has no rights and no ownership. It is an “it” and not a “someone.” You are using a tool, an advanced tool that should be dealt with on a case by case basis. IOW, “don’t bring a graphing calculator.”
Adam Savage went on a rant about 2 weeks ago about this very thing. He was trying to find a large format laser printer and the typical "best laser printers of 2022" blogspam were all filled with inkjet printers.

Fun fact: If you try to use Siri to read the text of a website to you ("speak screen"), it refuses to do so if you are connected to a car's bluetooth.

One of the vast litany of non-AI related Siri flaws that make you wonder how a $2t company can achieve such tragic levels of incompetence.
I think the lightning connector is still easier to use and more durable than USB-C, but don't care either way now that wireless charging has really taken over. It's very, very rare I plug my phone into anything for months at a time. No one is more surprised about that than I am too.

"I also didn't like the addition of HDMI and SD back to the Macbook Pro but it's not a huge deal."

Johnny, is that you?

I use the HDMI port daily and think it's asinine they didn't also add back at least one USB-A connection too, but thank god they did at least put a few of the more commonly used ports back. I have handfuls of USB-C to USB-A connectors sprinkled around and it's annoying to have to constantly look for them but at least I can ditch all the other dongles and adapters so there is some progress towards Apple coming down off their idealized vision of the world and recognizing that most of us live in a mixed, non-idealized world. And will be continuing to do so for some time still.

Also it was amazing they brought Magsafe back - yes! The worst thing I HATED when I had my M1 MacBook Air was it's deletion. I was resigned to never see it again but then was pleasantly surprised with its glorious return with the M1 MacBook Pro.

Besides, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Here the extraordinary claim is that cats can understand grammar and abstract concepts.

Otherwise I could claim that birds can play chess and demand you to provide papers to prove the opposite.
I agree. I think having linguistics knowledge can help especially in applied situations. Linguistics knowledge can help create fallback systems when an ML system fails, or help build rules to amplify or dampen the confidence of a response from an ML system, or aid in the engineering of a system (all that comes before or after the ML blackbox).

Sort of like an algorithmic trader knowing market microstructure intimately (versus only pure statistics).
Your first two links seem to be about contrast polarity, not contrast ratios. (There is a mention of using low-contrast text in the second link, but it is not very good advice in the era of selectable light/dark mode. Those with astigmatism will tend to avoid dark mode, so the "hack" of using grey-on-grey to limit halation is not needed.)

The latter link provides some sources, but not much experimental evidence.
There's a chapter in the book dedicated to memory layout of programs that discusses program segments, paging, implementation of malloc/free, etc that is more or less required before getting to the assembler and codegen stages.

Even if you can write a compiler assuming infinite memory that generates programs that also assume it, it would be a disservice to readers to ignore that for brevity. It's an important part of understanding how programs are created.
Lol, your logic is flawed.

>if removing central planing makes communism not communism anymore, then adding those "minor tweaks" make capitalism not capitalism anymore.

The minor tweaks to make capitalism work still allow private ownership, free exchange of goods, and a system based on the movement of capital.

The changes to make communism work, make it not communism by definition. If you don't have central planning then how are goods and services created and allocated? By a free market? That's capitalism!
They headline is misleading. The author is discussing Open RAN (radio access network), not some broad open internet topic.
USDC is not audited.

Attestations are not audits, in significant and important ways.

Usually in many organisations it’s a case of enforcing compliance across the fleet as opposed to actively administering the machines; enforcing browser profiles, software deployments and configurations, OS patch revisions, directory services integrations, that sort of thing.

But yes many computer workers effectively use their systems like chromebooks. Hell I’m in an operations role and aside from my terminal and mail client, I use my system like a glorified chromebook hah
Which is impossible without even more work (up front) in any system which needs to maintain any sort of plausible audit records, prevent abuse or DOS attacks, be able to correlate traffic to resource usage, etc.

Which is pretty much any non-toy system, and a bunch of toy systems.

And you’d be surprised how many friends are recording, especially if they have kids - nanny cams, home security cameras, ring/doorbell cameras, etc.

It’s probably 50% or more of households now.

It doesn’t require that they’ve got a mic taped to their chest to be doing so.
> I’m seriously asking, because it seems like an absurd expectation to me.

If you purposefully push it to absurde length, obviously it becomes an absurd expectation.

No one is asking you to disclaim everything you write. I am just pointing to you that if you can't be bothered to think about how what you write is going to be received, you shouldn't be surprised to be downvoted. You seem surprised that people don't care about what things mean to you when you communicate whereas it should be obvious. You are not writing for you after all but to be read.

Yes; I think that's absolutely right and insightful - the right way to think about Tether is that it's an opaque (refuses to disclose asset mix; is not audited), expensive (pays no interest; charges for redemptions), unregulated (not subject to the SEC or any other regulatory body) money market fund.

In the real world, literally no-one would own that.
"Motor Mania"[1] from 1950 is just as applicable 70 years later.

That being said, you don't see the same trend in e.g. the Netherlands; from [2] (which also has a chart from 2000):

2019 - 661 deaths
2020 - 610 (-51)
2021 - 582 (-28)

So I don't know what's different about the US which causes this uptick in traffic deaths. We got COVID, and the associated stress, and distracted driving due to phones, and all these things. And the many differences in driving culture, road design, etc. have remained identical in the last 3 years.

Quite a few large institutional investors have surprisingly low nominal target returns, so 4-5% can be enough (in mainland Europe, for example)
I hear more stress by the human reader, but it isn't always in the appropriate spot, IMO.
If the data is Sparse (which is not uncommon for large matrices in the real world), you can exploit the sparsity to do significantly better then O(n**3).
(This is an analogy, but it's almost literally the reality for a massive global market that not seen by the mainstream)

I'm not sure where you would read about it. It's like this... Bahamas dollars are pegged 1:1. They can be spent interchangeably in the Bahamas. You can redeem them 1:1 in the Bahamas. Very credible.

But most people are not in the Bahamas, and can't redeem them where they are. The Bahamas won't let just anyone in, and it's expensive to go there anyway. (Oh sure, if you're American and live in Florida it's no big deal, but if you're Chinese or Indian or something it's a big pain in the ass) There are money changers in other places that will take Bahamas Dollars, but they'll only take your B$100 notes and you're looking at like 4% loss to sell them, and for all your 20s, 10s, etc nobody will give you more than 50% for them if they will accept them at all. So these things are somewhat redeemable if you're in Canada or France... but in many places they are not redeemable at all.

Or you could use this other thing called Tether that just works. It costs 0.25-0.50% to turn into local currency if you're talking $10,000+ amounts. It can be done in almost place on Earth where you have running water and electricity.

GUSD is basically like B$. So given that reality, it's a no brainer to take Tether over GUSD, even if you think Tether is shady.

This is also something I didn't get about Tether for a long time... it's actually successful because its operators are shady, not in spite of it. They have been doing whatever it takes to maintain actual liquidity, and has done so for years. Gemini does not, it just sits there and brags about how it could totally pay everyone back if it wanted to.
I got it now, background-color's box was so dark it appeared as black, was too lazy to read the rgb value.
I don't entirely buy the argument because in a regular ASCII control sequence like ESC[5A, you have the same problem. All those characters have a role outside of the signaling, so if either side is in an unexpected state, they get misinterpreted. This is just the risk of in-band signaling.

Of course, if the terminal is ignorant of UTF-8 then this is a nonstarter, because whenever CIS occurs as a continuation byte, it will be misinterpreted. If the terminal is ignorant of UTF-8, why would you send UTF-8 to it, though? If it's going to be interpreting UTF-8 as some branch of ISO Latin, the display will be a mess.

If the terminal and host do handle UTF-8, then this CSI signaling is just an extension of the state machine. It's also nice and simple that, in the absence of any data loss or synchronization error, the CSI code is unambiguously not part of any valid UTF-8 character (except as the second or subsequent byte where the receiver is in the right state to interpret it that way).

In my experience, it's the terminal->host direction where you get mixups, whereby the terminal generates some escape sequence like for an arrow key, but the host is not in the right state, and interprets part of it as data. This is exacerbated by a situation in which the host supports ESC as a UI command. CSI solves the abmbiguity between the control sequence start and ESC just being ESC.
That would be a "drop-in replacement", which is indeed a type of alternative. But to be an alternative, it's enough to just provide similar functionality.
It might be time to start looking for a team with a better work culture. There are many of them.
>That is a common misconceptions. At least under US federal law, there is nothing special about a platform. There is no distinction between a "platform" and a "publisher".

Ok so how do you differentiate the liability protection Twitter has and CNN doesn't?

Also why do you believe Judge William Orrick of San Francisco is wrong? There is literally case law confirming the distinction between platform and publisher.

Note, this is the problem with the 'disinformation governance board'.

> This should be one of the most tinkerer-empowering times of humanity

Why? The internet is a massive, low-friction distribution channel. The economic incentives and legal/commercial imperatives are almost entirely geared (and heavily so) towards the centralisation and walled-gardening of value.

I get the sentiment, and wish it were so, but it just isn't so and nothing in the current "times" suggests to me that we have much outside of token pockets of resistance to these practices.
C-Level executives and others regularly use these plans. They are designed for the use case of 'people who nearly always have MNPI'. The way it's done typically is 2-fold. 1) Immediately after a quarterly earnings release when the amount of MNPI is at it's lowest amount. 2) Far enough in the future that the value of your MNPI is minimized - ie, deals you know of could be public or even collapsed by the time you're selling.

You won't need a leave. But you will need a Lawyer, as noted in other comments. GET A LAWYER FOR THIS ASAP SERIOUSLY.
Compare it with Gogs, that is an executable that you run. (Yes, it doesn't do CI/CD, but I don't think avoiding a CI/CD server is worth the extra complexity.)

GitLab (the software) is a child of the microservices culture. That said, that architecture is probably a very good fit for GitLab (the company). It's just not very good for other people to self-host it.

As a manager - my work habits look pretty similar. If you don't trust your peers or reports, such that you need to monitor the specific hours they're doing asynchronous/solo work, then that's a problem.

The challenge is actually getting people to take advantage of this. I work with folks who default to overworking, so I have to be pretty insistent that they take time for themselves.
Ahh, totally forgot that QBasic and QuickBASIC were different. I figure there was no chance that they were going to ever be in a demo program in any case - I just remember it being difficult to make good graphics with the regular drawing tools, while the most interesting games the community was building at the time I was active were all using DirectQB or UGL.
That’s one theory yes. But there are others involving plasticizers or other environmental contaminants. It could also be some sort of slow virus.
Never.

Or, as a realistic ideal, as little as you possibly can.

On the other other hand I ferociously criticise bad ideas.

People are not their ideas. Bad ideas are like mimetic parasites,
replicating through and infecting a host.

Some bad ideas are harmless opinions. Other bad ideas are a grave harm
to their host, and society around them.

While people jave every "right" to hold them, sometimes attacking bad
ideas seems like an attack on a person (ad hominem), which should be
consciously avoided. A person, qua soul, is seldom even responsible
for what they host and parrot [1]. But they are responsible for
spreading those ideas, which is why teachers, parents and trash social
media have much to answer for. And, I believe, it is a duty and
responsibility to help people be free of bad ideas, or if possible to
steer them away from them. By the same token I believe people who
spread bad ideas for profit and personal gain are the most damaged,
and damaging of all.

It is a shame in our presently over-defensive culture where people
identify with their ideas that the reaction of some people is to
perceive an attack on them-self, as a person. Good criticusm of bad
ideas should always be welcome.
