> when you can stop at developing the specs and send it overseas to be coded for half the cost or less.

Good luck with that. Please, do try it and report back to tell us how it went. My prediction:

No matter what you do, the spec will be incomplete, and if it's large enough, it will contain contradictions. The culture of not questioning superiors in many of "overseas" will make it hard to notice and only after substantial time without progress someone will realize the problem. That person or group of people will start communicating with clients and overseas to work out the problems in the spec, accumulating additional overhead. The changes and additions to the spec will render a lot of work already done unusable, so the overseas team will have to start from scratch. Then, they will work on the code, while you will be wondering if they're working or not. If it turns out they do, sooner or later they will provide you with some results. The result is going to be pretty bad, because competent people don't want to work for $2/h, no matter where you go. But you will get some result, and will begin testing it. You will discover a lot of bugs, and then you will have to fight tooth and nail to have them fixed, because nobody will want to take responsibility for the failures. At this point, the project will be a year late, and will have flown past all reasonable estimates in terms of required funding. In the end, you're forced to contract consultants - you'll have to sell your kidney to pay them - who will make the product barely-usable some 2 years after anticipated launch date.
Oooooh did you just call Frank Lantz super-basic kek
I agree, but even so, you can make things a lot more secure from "having plaintext credentials commit to source code versioning" without changing your entire infrastructure, which a move like that would require. Simply use environment variables and a .env file.
How do you prevent this from impacting your systems? What kind of features can GitHub invest in to make it easy for you to insulate from downtime?
Boosting this comment, you want to talk to someone with a Masters or Doctorate in Kinesiology. Some Physical Therapists will have this or equivalent training. Some other specialists will fit the bill as well but not all.

My wife had back pain due to a disfigured vertebrae. That’s something they do not want to operate in until every other option is exhausted. Much of her pain and numbness is caused by imbalanced muscle development from a lifetime of incorrect posture and movements that compensated for the defective vertebrae. She’s worked with both a Physical Therapist and a Trainer to improve her strength and how she moves to the point that she is pain free 90% of the time. Both were referred to her by her doctors. They’re not part of a PT chain or gym.
> of course they wouldn't pay them 10k dollars

Right, I wasn't talking about legally enforceable damages. My point was about how valuable the data is to the user: If they offered $50 to the user, would the user feel satisfied? I doubt it after 600 hours of gameplay. $1,000? $10,000? The numbers are much too high for the company to pay - that's just a dramatization of one sense in which the data is irreplaceable.

As far as actual enforceability, if the agreement between the user and company includes a clause saying they company will preserve the user's data, or if there is a legal or technical requirement for the user to store their data with the company, maybe the user would have a claim. But I doubt there is much precedent for calculating damages.
> I forget if they also step the supply side DC voltage up too…

They do, but they don't have to. The front-end rectifier boosts the voltage up to 400-450 VDC. This way, most of the components can be optimized for a single world-wide compatible machine that is capable of rectifying 230VAC.

In principle, you could squeeze out a bit of efficiency (or cost) by producing a North American market machine that was optimized for 120V and a separate machine optimized for 208/230V. In practice, supply chain simplification reduces overall per-unit costs, so just about everything is designed as a single machine for world-wide markets. Only the plugs change. For ATX, only the cord shipping in the box changes.

Are there any situations where it would be desirable to keep some payphones around? Potentially in some sort of natural disaster where cell towers get knocked down, or at least reduced in capacity to the point where it's no longer possible to reliably make calls?

There was a situation in Canada a year or two ago where one of our two main wireless providers rolled out a bad firmware update to all of their transmitters at the same time and had a system wide outage for nearly nine hours, I could imagine a need for payphones if something like that were to happen in NYC.
Eh, inheritence is relatively performance friendly.. all the stuff is after all wrapped into one onion shaped object. The problem starts with pointers - aka loose composition and not having "work-bundles" for the hootloop, which usually ideally come as arrays of work-packages.

I don't think that is imminent. They've been saying it has been on it's knees constantly since the 1990s at least (and probably longer but I personally cannot remember any further back). It got through Covid without collapsing aswell- I don't think it is going away any time soon.
>> You can still find some private payphones on public property in New York City as well as four full-length phone booths.

That means the title is very misleading. This appears to be the end of the last publicly-available payphone on public land, not the last payphone in NYC. There just aren't any on the streets.

What you seem to think is an unhealthy state to be in is actually what a lot of people like. Sure, some people don't want those things - young single people are more than willing to give up a nice home to be close to cool bars, but it's not a very big part of the population.

It's just a rhetorical trick.

"Everyone who doesn't like what I like is unhealthy" is just a milder form of the age old "everyone who doesn't think like me has some mental condition that I will use as a pretext for denying their agency and ignoring their opinion" reply. It steers the conversation away from the legitimacy of his opinion and makes people on the other side waste effort proving "no I'm not insane".
Naive question: why couldn't the government use something like a 12 month moving average? That way we'd keep the variable, but limit the weight of its volatility.
It's good to see more recognition that the likely extraterrestrial intelligences will be post-biological, but SMETI will have a hard time detecting such life because it will likely not need to move entire planets.

As has been show in other research, a post-biological species can more easily send small replicating probes at high fractions of C in order to populate other star systems (and even other galaxies) within a small fraction of cosmic time (meaning it would have already likely happened in the Milky Way).

Large populations need not be sent. So the question becomes the meaning of life. What does a cosmic-spanning-AI want to do with its life - and how do we detect that?
I thought the docs were quite good.

I used "ziglearn" to understand ("chapter 1" and "chapter 2" have tons of foundational stuff): https://ziglearn.org/chapter-1/

I used the language reference for the details: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Introduction

I agree the standard library docs aren't useful (unless something changed a lot in the last six months)... it seemed always better to just search and read the standard library source directly.
If zig catches on then the question may change from "why zig" to "do I really need rust?". Rust has a higher entry barrier and is harder to use daily. Is the safety guarantee worth it? In my experience, it is easier to fix a bug than to prove to the rust compiler that there is no bug. I just need a language that finds and reports the bugs (before production). Zig's error handling is interesting in this regard and it may be "good enough". Beyond that, I would prefer to spend my time on the real problem rather than appeasing the compiler.

I get it's frustrating but ... do you expect any Lua to run in every environment Lua is used in? AFAICT no 2 Lua's are alike and nearly ever use of it has it's own APIs and quirks. I have the same issue with C. You can find some C that will run anywhere. You can also find lots of C that is platform specific and unless you're an expert you'll be just as frustrated trying to get it to run on a different platform. Seems the same to me.

A project I worked on in college was a "steganographic modem", transferring data in the audio spectrum by lacing a song being played with a signal, such that the signal in each frequency band would always be below the threshold that the human ear could tell the difference.

Even in a controlled setting the bitrate we achieved was very low, but for most songs it was enough to encode the lyrics. Seems quite useful until you remember both ends already need the original audio file in its entirety!
People define "rural" vastly differently - most "rural" areas in the USA are actually peppered with small towns (between 10 and 10k residents) which can be covered by high speed internet and even effective public transportation if desired - in a small enough town that can just be a guy with a van hired by the township.

All you're really missing then is the connection to the nearest urban center - if it takes an hour to drive into town it's not much different than taking an hour to drive across town, after all.

Yeah, with the mortgage...I don't know, I think I could realistically find a bank that will accommodate my religion, Christianity. Especially if I show them something really cool we could do. Or 0% interest mortgage, that'll happen in like 5 years in America. Or just buy a house for cash. It can be done.

Financially: I am good at my job, work hard, and take on a lot of responsibility outside my formal JD, and it has advanced my career (and pay) dramatically faster than I could have advanced by working within a rigidly defined role with strict pay bands.

Ethically: I do not want a committee of mediocre coworkers telling me what responsibilities I am allowed to do 8 hours a day.

I would feel differently if I was a janitor, of course. So janitors should unionize! But I am a well-compensated software engineer and I have no interest in that employment structure.

The dependency on boost is not mandatory:

- Either you can use standalone PFR (it does not really change anything as it's almost exactly the same code, just outside of namespace boost) but apparently that is an issue ahah

- Or you can lobby the committee to accept P1061 ; there's already a compiler implementation based on clang-12: https://github.com/ricejasonf/llvm-project/tree/ricejasonf/p...

With it, the code becomes even simpler and would not need PFR at all ; a function such as

std::size_t create()
{
[&]<std::size_t... N>(std::index_sequence<N...>)
{
(std::get<N>(vec).push_back({}), ...);
}
(indices{});

return size() - 1;
}

just becomes

std::size_t create()
{
auto& [... v] = vec;
((v.push_back({}), ...);

return size() - 1;
}
just as something of a useful aside:

the difference between real costs of operations and the price you pay for these operations, and argue that in the long run, costs are more stable and more important than prices

just want to mention the proper business vocabulary (standardized over accounting, finance, marketing) if you want to be understood across your enterprise.

costs are monies you spend for necessities, they entail quantities purchased wrt prices and they reduce your profitability.

Prices are without regard to quantity, and refer to market competitveness, especially "what price should I sell my product at, as I have a choice about that, but also competitive prices in the market"

or as a shorthand, costs have to do with your spending, prices with your selling.
Municipal ISPs are completely legal, but it gets complicated.

Where I live (rural area), a private ISP covers the county with fixed wireless and competes with a national ISP that does the same but with satellite for infill where there is no tower coverage. The various levels of government announced plans for massive funding to provide "high speed" internet everywhere, and Bell manages to be the only qualifier for our county, taking the entire subsidy to the tune of millions of dollars. They still do not provide fixed wireless service to this day but they do continue to provide backbone and peering to the other ISPs. Eventually, and unreliably.

Everyone, including freelancers, benefit from the workplace structure and culture that unions fought for. Go back to the early days of the industrialization: Things could very well have stayed as bleak as then.

Even if you get a little more as a freelancer, workers in general have not benefitted appropriately from the productivity increase since the 70s.
Another more traditional approach, similar to concierge medicine, is executive medicine.

I think a lot of the big medical universities offer something like this:

That's fine in a language with a bunch of implementations, but JS only has one (relevant) implementation.

V8 powers Chrome, all Chrome-based browsers (Brave, Edge, etc), node, and deno.

Sure, you can switch your backend to some esoteric thing based on Rhino, but unlike C/C++/whatever, your end-user's also have an implementation and it matters. And they are overwhelmingly using v8.

The Ecma International is basically naval-gazing at this point. They don't control JS, google does. Just see what happened when they added TCO to the spec and google didn't implement it.

> How about "if you click a link in an email sent by your bank, make sure it goes to your bank's actual web address"? That would be great advice if my bank's IT could keep all their systems within one domain; they can't, and register shit like http://banknamelending.com.

This is a very distressing pattern. So many terrible attempts have been made to verify the identity of the server for the purposes of mutual authentication, and all of them are terrible, and behavior like this (incredibly common!) is part of what makes it untenable.

And the banks, etc., will occasionally try to consolidate their pages into their main domain for this reason, but lock down the domain so much that internal teams that want to promote some crazy feature end up having to work around this by launching under a new, sketchy-looking domain because users just don't care.

The other trend I hate is to show on a webpage information about identifying bad servers, because it can't help by definition. I ended up https://login.gov a little while back, and it warns you:

> An official website of the United States government

> Here’s how you know

> Official websites use .gov

> A .gov website belongs to an official government organization in the United States.

> Secure .gov websites use HTTPS
> A lock or https:// means you’ve safely connected to the .gov website. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites.

That's great! If I had to phish the US government page, I would just include this warning but change it to suit my purposes, because it's not like they'll open the government page to check. "How do you know if this is an official US government website? Official US government websites always use either .gov or .ru"

>The form factor and mounting design of the power supply are not parts of the ATX spec. The pin layout & shape, voltages, signaling, etc are what are specified.

Did you just pull this out of nowhere?

Look at ATX Specification v. 2.01 section 4.1, page 18-20. It specifies the "required overall dimensions and general form factor of an ATX power supply," with or without special airflow ducting (emphasis in original).

The linked PSU in the OP clearly does not meet this form factor.

I am somewhat hopeful for what Guix might mean for their "Shepard" init system and (specifically GPL) microkernels like HURD. The guile package management system isn't to interesting in my opinion: we already have distros like Gentoo, Nix, Arch, Alpine, etc. that support both build scripts (usually as some specialized shell script) and binary packages. If anything, I think as programmers we tend to lean towards application-specific languages where we ought to favor generic languages for the sake of simplicity.

Because it's under the GNU name and seems somewhat kernel-agnostic, I think this might lead to the case where we can finally point towards a operating system and say "that's GNU".

The kernel isn't good at handling OOM – to the nearest approximation it just kills whatever is using the most memory, which in my experience is almost always the thing that I least want it to kill. And it does it late enough that everything is broken anyway and the system sits thrashing forever.

All that seems to have happened here is that Ubuntu may have rolled out systemd-oomd with some overly-conservative settings, so if we could all avoid having a collective pointless shit-fit about systemd again that would be great.
