a 3rd party, yet they only open their books to a private company of their choosing with questionable background. It's obvious what's going on. This is the biggest issue with crypto traders, they're too damn gullible as long as the news fits their agenda.
With cats you have to learn nonverbal communication.

The slow blink while looking into their eyes means "it's cool, we're cool"

I taught our cats to recognize a double-tap on the butt as "get up, I gotta get up"

gotta read their body language... and yeah, sometimes it DOES say "I'm not currently interested, no offense"... but the thing to know is, they also read YOUR body language. They might not understand too many words, but intonation matters, posture matters, movement matters

> It didn't seem to help Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze in the 1984 movie Red Dawn ;) Interesting NATO is disbanded in that movie, and the harvest in the Ukraine suffers for some reason (blight? war?).

Of course. The DEW line was mean to warn against a Soviet nuclear attack, but in that movie no such attack occurs.
But the reason we find them convenient is that, at least in most of the US, cities are built for cars. Before cars became common, Los Angeles was zoned for higher density and had trolleys that extended all the way into the city's NE reaches. Same goes for São Paulo, the largest city in the Americas. In the case of SP—which is still way serviceable via public transit than LA—an urban planner/mayor built a series of radial avenues & encouraged people to move out of the city center to its new peripheries. That, plus other "improvements," cut the population density of the center by at least 50%, and exacerbated patterns of residential segregation that began after abolition.

This is all to say that cars aren't solely a matter of personal choice. Car culture was been imposed on us by urban planners with tremendous power. For more on this, even in NYC, see the introduction to Robert Caro's Pulitzer Prize-winning book on Robert Moses.
I have a Twitter account with > 10k followers that is a few years old. Created without a phone number, and of course, immediately locked. Somehow, managed get it unlocked and still going on a few years later without a phone number. Though, I'm always in fear of the ban hammer.

Paradox, or just pointing out human inability to multiply?
China has delivered a 2 dose equivalent per person as opposed do 3-4 mRNA doses for the most vulnerable (1st and 2nd booster.)

So I think it is fully understandable why Shanghai is closed with this set of choices.

In terms of safety, I would be more concerned about measurable heart events etc. We are pumped full of plastic, fumes, poorly tested drugs and forever chemicals so focusing on a few ml of vaccine during a short spell as the cause of all your problems is like looking for your keys wherever there's a lamp post.
`inert` doesn't let you do anything you couldn't do before, it just does it with one attribute instead of a half-dozen attributes and CSS rules that need to be applied to the element and its children.

You can defeat right-click save-as about ten different ways already so that ship has sailed. And all of those can be defeated using the Application tab in the Chrome dev tools or mitmproxy etc.
> There will be a market for programmers who do systems programming (which is currently not a big market, but it will get bigger.)

What‽ The market for systems programmers is enormous! You think "smart" things program themselves? What about cars or industrial systems or traffic lights or well, literally everything that isn't running on a full blown computer?

Systems programmers don't get much play on open source sites like Github but they're probably the majority of software developers world-wide because there's vastly more embedded systems than there are desktop and servers.

On the contrary, as a developer, this makes GPL even more appealing to me.

If you were opposed to Twitter being sold to Elon Musk, then it seems like you would have a great incentive to create as many spam or fake accounts as possible over the next 30 days or so to shift the numbers in favor of him abandoning his takeover bid.
They had a small amount of other "stablecoins" as well [0]. I'm guessing it was some mix of an ideological opposition to holding actual USD and a desire to speculate on the ecosystem, which the market allowed for a time.

It’s desperately needed to implement current patterns like model dialogs in an accessible way. It doesn’t do anything JavaScript can’t already do so I don’t think it’s any worse for abuse.
I've seen enough fails from Tesla's Autopilot and FSD Beta (typing those names out feels so laughable given how far away they are to describing the things they're meant to, other than Beta) that I actively avoid any Tesla I see on the road. I never know if the car is being driven by someone or one of these tools are engaged. I almost feel there should be regulation that communicates to other drivers that a human is not controlling the vehicle.

It really bothers me that we have been opt-in without choice into Tesla's marketing and hype bubble and live on the streets research and development. These are people's lives. The road isn't a place to move fast and break things.

If one gets hit by a Tesla car under one of these "automated" systems, what prevents a person from holding Tesla responsible?
Those are orthogonal and not mutually exclusive. I have a couple wordpress sites that are static.

There are a number of different ways to do it which range from Next.js with WP as a headless CRM (my current preference), or using a static site generator plugin inside of WP. I can recommend "Simply Static" as a handy plugin that (combined with nginx) will make as much of your site as possible static but still updates quickly and can allow some dynamism.

But it does introduce complexity, and the more frequently the site changes the less it makes sense. As the site grows also most sites end up wanting dynamic stuff that often can't (or shouldn't) be done on the client-side, slowly making the static build less and less useful. It's just not that simple.

Anecdotally, when the switch from Windows 98 to XP happened I missed it.

I went from an old 386sx-33 to a Pentium 4 and brought my software along with me. The previous owner had borked the hard drive and gave the box to me for free.

I got a hard drive and installed DOS on it (which was the only OS that I had at the time) and tried to play some games.

That was a bewildering experience. Almost nothing worked, I had no drivers and no way to get them, but I did find a few games that would load and ran them. Text games were ridiculously snappy, it felt like I would press the enter key and the next section would already be up before my finger left the key.

But the real mindblower was graphical games. I got (I think) Commander Keen or some other graphic-based platformer to load and it would start the level and everything moved in super-high speed. If I pressed an arrow key I was instantly as far in that direction as the character could move. When I pressed Jump the character would twitch, completing the jump instruction before screen could fully update.

The new system running a barebones OS was so fast that the software could not operate normally. Now computers are scores of times faster than that and yet seem so much slower because of both software bloat (bad) and decoupling software clocks from processor clocks (good).
I thought the SEC filings both have a number and a risk of being wrong?

Re:parroting, while that seems to have been a pejorative, I wasn't actually copying from anywhere, just a smb executive sensitive to this sort of thing during m&a as standard business discussions, so it's interesting that it's being repeated enough to accuse people here of 'parrot'ing!
McDonald's poutine is actually disgusting, ironically/coincidentally.
"Neglecting" nuclear energy is the right thing to do. Nuclear is losing the economic competition. We should be pushing full speed ahead on renewables and storage. Those other countries who supposedly want to buy US nuclear tech should be buying US (or other) renewable and storage tech instead.

FWIW my take is not that Yuri is expressing "there are too many bugs" so much as he's expressing a problem in the culture surrounding Julia itself:

> But systemic problems like this can rarely be solved from the bottom up, and my sense is that the project leadership does not agree that there is a serious correctness problem.

Concisely:

1. The ecosystem is poorly put together. (It's been produced by academics rather than professional software developers.)

2. The language provides few tools to guarantee correctness. (No static typing; no interfaces.)

Personally, what I'd love to see is one of the big tech companies come on board and just write their own ecosystem. The Julia language is amazing. The ecosystem needs to be rewritten.
When I was 12-13 I used to have trouble falling asleep, since I'd be thinking of anything stressful from the day. I fixed it with a form of meditation - thinking about nothing was impossible, I forced myself to think of fantasies when I'm trying to go to sleep instead of anything real. It has worked well for me for 20 years.
I wonder if there is a more important paradox "wealthy people trying to increase their wealth will influence government laws so extremely selfishly that the world will suffer a catastrophic event that drastically lowers human population."
Is `for i in eachindex(X)` really any worse?

You can still do math on i, it avoids issues with OffsetArrays, and it might even be clearer why you're iterating. It requires that the array type support linear indexing, but so does doing anything sensible with X[i] and X[i-1].
CZ admits Binance held Luna and UST in bizarre tweet threads
I'm not a lawyer, nor am I very familiar with contract law, so take this with a grain of salt.

I think technically yes, practically it is a separate up hill battle. Monetary damages have to be not-speculative, something like "because of defendant not complying with the contract I ended up spending <this> money on <these> software licenses" would probably work, but something like "because of defendant not complying with the contract I ended up making an inferior product (since I had to rewrite this code from scratch)" probably wouldn't.

I doubt that leaves many big lawsuits, it's hard to think of concrete damages that result from people improperly modifying and distributing linux (unfortunately common). Maybe customers of ChessBase who purchased Fat Fritz 2 or Houdini 6 (context: [1]) would have a claim for the return of their license fees, since if ChessBase was properly distributing it as GPL software they almost certainly would have been able to acquire it for free - that's like $50/person though - not a huge money maker.

Living in a walkable city is extremely convenient. I would much prefer to do so than drive. For short trips parking is a significant time sink that's not necessary with other modes of transportation.

However that ship has largely sailed in North America so you're not wrong. Given the pattern of city planning we're stuck with cars are not going to be replaced any time soon.
>since we were off-road, the radar LOVED puddles and any sort of standing water- it looked perfectly flat and so wanted to go there every time.

If they're from the same outfit I've had problems with I really am at a loss as to what, other than Cloudflare, is a good solution. I got like 4-5 requests per second at worst.

As someone who follows defi and cryptocurrencies, I'm pretty okay with occasional price crashes. They shake out nonsense like this.
On both C++ and Rust the destruction is tied to the value's lifetime. On the two languages that everybody remember when they talk about RAII, the destruction is not tied to lexical scope.

(Although, on C++ that requires extra code for your class to behave correctly. The resource managing class is wrong by default, but the code that uses it is not.)
Yes and no... Julia's been focused on high performance numerical computing from the beginning (and other related scientific applications). Using macros to get good performance from relatively generic code was (from my outside perspective) a really effective way to support real applications early on and also give time for the compiler to get "sufficiently smart" to make the macros less necessary.
Yes and no. They are very convenient in most of the built environment we have in the US (I’d go further and say they’re _necessary_). But we can also build environments where they’re not needed, or even a nuisance for the owner.

There’s a reason most New Yorkers don’t drive.
Not disagreeing with you that indexes are a great idea here - but 500ms is fast enough for a LOT of cases.

> It's my understanding that "phone" without the ability to tap is illegal in the US.

This is not true. Else you couldn't have whatsapp or signal calls (e2e encrypted). In 2009, Skype made the argument with the ACLU that they are not a telecoms carrier, and are therefore exempt from CALEA and similar regulations. Additionally, Skype's original CSEO refused to promise that they did not support wiretaps in the original architecture. We know from Edward Snowden that "old Skype" was included in NSA data sources.

Skype changed architecture because routing calls through neighboring, always-on nodes is not practical in a mobile world where 50%+ of users pay for their data by the MB, and have spotty connections with high latency. For several years before the rearchitecture, Microsoft propped up the network by running all the supernodes itself.
Definitely not just Shanghai and Beijing.

>> Go to the actual incident and you watch the computer planned trajectory it is very clear that the planned route has the Tesla entering the center left turn lane directly ahead of it. There wasn't going to be a head on collision and if there was it wouldn't have been the Tesla's fault.

Someone else posted an image in a different thread ( https://i.imgur.com/Hj6glgu.png ) and its pretty clear the car's planned route was to move into the opposing traffic's lane which makes very little sense but would've 100% definitely made the accident the Tesla's fault.

You expect them to ban you based on your account gaining fake followers? Wouldn't such a policy make it very easy for any third party to get a user banned?
So they are finally working to add object permanence, to a feature they've been selling for like 6 years. It should have been there from day one.
What an odd article.

It talks about the move from Si switching power supplies to SiC... and now to GaN. This has been going on for years to the point that many new high power wall plugs are moving to GaN. It's true that EVs need power efficient supplies and drive part of the market, but I don't see evidence that they've radically accelerated the shift.

I don't see evidence that SiC or GaN supplies are noticeably more available (other than being higher margin and thus more likely to be prioritized) than Si with shipping issues and the Shanghai shutdown. I also don't see evidence that location of volume (lower margin) manufacturing are likely to be different for these SiC/GaN components until geopolitical events push them to. Certainly, component assembly is unlikely to shift to the US.
That was a solution that worked almost all the time. I remember doing the same with inputs for email too
While we're making wishlists for Safari, the one I think would have the most real world impact is AV1 support, to have a modern royalty-free codec across all browsers if Safari adds it. Safari is the last holdout. Considering the large proportion of internet usage is to transfer video, the savings in storage and transmission would be non-trivial.
Honestly, that was what I read at first. Only when I read your comment, did I realise it said "bullish".

I'm not sure my initial reading was really incorrect, though.
Some Crypto.com cryptocurrency exchange platform users were unpleasantly surprised to hear that they were faced with inaccurate LUNA pricing yesterday afternoon. This has exacerbated some people’s losses, and some have accused the platform of stealing their money. In exchange, Crypto.com paid them $10 in CRO tokens.
I feel like he had something to say here, and I feel like I might even agree with him, but he dances around actually saying anything so much it's hard to understand what he's actually getting at.
Great work here..
This is exactly why I use safari, it's not perfect, but it respects the battery life to a noticeable extent.
Isn't this just a rehashing of the value-less pop business advice, "In order to be big, be big already'. It's an open-source venture, crowdsourcing talent. They're not making statements that they have to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Large PRs are one of the most serious anti patterns in day to day work.
I haven’t used Rust, but Julia keeps you from getting burned too badly by giving you an informative error message if you try to index "inside" a character:

julia> "François"[6]
ERROR: StringIndexError: invalid index [6], valid nearby indices [5]=>'ç' [7]=>'o'

I’m not a data science type either. I came to Julia through physics and general computing. It’s the best language for science I’ve ever encountered.
Not the main point here, but I think you could almost fix the defer approach with types. Instead of:

File f = File.open(...);
defer f;

You could have:

PleaseDeferMe<File> p = File.open(...);
File f = defer p;

If you want to actually access that file you've created, your only path is through using defer.

One case this doesn't solve is creating an object but never using it. When writing new code, you probably won't make that error, but when ripping out old code you might miss a piece you should have deleted. If the compiler warns about unused variables (for every possible code path), it could catch that too.

(This could be generalized a bit. Call it CleanMeUp<T>, have a CleanMeUp.takeResponsibility() method that returns T, and maybe defer isn't the only thing that can call takeResponsibility().)
This just makes me more confident in choosing GPL licenses for my projects in order to ensure user freedom.
You never can be too sure haha!
That is a cynical take, because China doesn't need to declare martial law (in Shanghai or elsewhere) if it were to take Taiwan in this scenario.

It's more likely that martial law is very good at stopping transmission of a plague with R0 = 7-12
Well what I'm suggesting isn't about blocking the bots, it's about removing the incentive. So in this case, I think the more obvious it is the better. I would want them to realize as soon as possible that they are 100% wasting their time.

In his autobiography, LeTurneau talks about one of the land trains being nuclear powered, casually as if it was just another increment. This man was on another level. His faith was pretty fantastic too, it's a really enjoyable read of how he did a bootstraps-pull-up but also with the appropriate amount of good fortune ("fortune?") that generally leads to massive successes. The man was a prodigy/genius, absolutely amazing and from very humble roots.

Now, the nuclear land train didn't materialize, but this guy is the guy that Elon Musk wished he was. The OG ironman back in the 50's or whenever you'd classify his active years to be in. Presumably because he died, on the nuclear powerplant front, but I got the sense from reading it that he was adored enough that despite the safety risks he could have relatively handily gotten something like that in production.

Which would have changed the nature of our transportation today in a big kind of way. If you make a portable nuclear generator that can sit on a military land train (and this man could, just read his engineering reasoning you'll see why I speak of it with a sense of awe and wonder), then you can make that same generator and use it to power rural neighborhoods, remote electric vehicle stations, etc. The cost of infrastructure maintenance and installation would go down, and we'd have one more good option during the energy crisis today, with global warming and such as it is.

Really and truly a peek into what could have been almost our current "alternative future". Probably not a bad one either, though presumably there would be negative consequences like Appalachia getting hit more hard economically due to further lowered coal dependence, etc.
Yeah, if you need to manage individual servers/VMs, it's not a great fit. I've used cloud-init files to configure EC2 instances on startup with things like packages and SSH keys, and that works pretty well if you can treat those servers as if they're immutable. But if you need to get in there and run something, it's not quite a replacement for Ansible.
I didn't know that it was lighter on system resources, that's interesting. Makes me wonder if a FF-based Electron would ever take off, because the main issue with Electron apps is the insane amount of memory consumption (last I checked anyways). Especially if you have multiple electron apps running simultaneously.
