It's hard to beat the built-in calculator functionality found in some accounting software. For example, in Quickbooks, in any numeric input field, you can type a number and then an operator (like +, / etc) and it automatically shifts into calculator mode right there in the input field, with the result pasted automatically into the field.

Similarly, my income tax software pops up a built-in calculator upon pressing a function key, and the result is automatically pasted back when done.

no requirement for a written copyright assignment to the FSF is their biggest feature.
You find it "silly" that other languages with their own rules don't adopt phrases which may be impossible to use within those languages? For example in the Czech language there's nothing "relatively simple and easy to do" about using "Turkey" or "Türkiye" in Czech sentences since it's impossible to inflect these words using Czech case suffixes, so the official name of the country in Czech is "Turecko" simply so that you could actually use it in sentences without getting a brain aneurysm.
It's not a traditional genre as much as a characterization, but it definitely has hallmarks that you can identify without reference to its popularity. From Wikipedia:

> Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to.

BTW, Wikipedia also draws a distinction between "pop music" and "popular music", where the latter is defined as you describe.
I was told they could explode with enough heat shock growing up as well. Thankfully I've never had that happen either.
Their ceph usage is quite odd IMO, that few disks per node and such a (for storage) slow network interconnect cannot give you good results. We have a two-year-old (time really does fly) ceph benchmark with 100G Ethernet interconnect for cluster network[0] if anybody is interested. IMO using NVMe's flash and then connecting that with anything below 25G makes not much sense and is a waste of money, as network isn't that expensive anymore; especially with three to five nodes you can set up a full mesh to avoid an often more expensive switch.

IME Ceph really starts to shine on a) slightly bigger setups and b) maintenance like upgrading nodes and swapping faulty disks, that's just a bliss if one doesn't violate a few basic rules (like maybe don't use 2/1 replica (two copies but return already after only one got written)). But also smaller cluster can work fine and can be quite performant, well at least if the interconnect bandwidth isn't one that was specified at the end of the 90s..

Also, ZFS 0.8.6 is from 2020, lots of stuff happened since then, a bit odd to post a new benchmark using almost two-year-old software.

>You will not get swindled at an official dealership. Meanwhile the US seems extremely cutthroat.

This seems completely contrary to my experience. How on earth do you get swindled? Know the price of the car you want, refuse to pay more; you are the customer, they need to make a sale. Dealerships are abundant in most cities and compete hard with each other. There are always deals to be had.

Why do so many people here find this difficult? Salesmen are usually dying to sell you a car, and never want to see you walk out.
Looking better than those pixel art NFTs.
No, but it’s still a curiosity. Why are you so defensive?
The cost of filter replacement would be absolutely insane. Also filter replacement would be unpleasant.
It's possible they are still hiring for software and laying off for other areas.
Wow! The Pre was the reason I got into development, because I wanted to be able to run through flashcards on the bus to school. So I built Study Buddy[1]. The joke is by the time I figured out how to really build it, I had a car so it wasn't quite as personally useful as it could have been. It was a small community but there was a decent amount of teenage developers, maybe 8 or so of us, and I think 10 years later we're all still in the engineering space, basically because of webOS.

Its so hard for me to think someone actually thinks this.

Rust really is a great programming language that solves a lot of other problems other languages don't. It does so by introducing a pretty clever paradigm.

The rust community is the least toxic programming community I've ever seen. Leaps and bounds away from go lang, python, and light years away from c, etc.

Like use your head, is vba therefore the language which everyone tried and loved and had to move on from? You're trolling yourself lol. Rust is great but yes you have to learn it and yes that is tricky at first. Join a rust chatroom or discussion board and give it a whack.
Wouldn't surprise me, given how pornsick some of the YouTube engineers are. When I worked there, that was pretty much all they would joke about. Disgusting.

Anybody care to speculate on the chance that Twitter forces their sale to him, and then TSLA goes down far enough that Musk gets a margin call on the loan he's using to finance the purchase, and he loses everything? Or at least half of everything?

I am currently looking for a good solution to do just that, but don't know where to start. Do you mind sharing a few good ones?
I think it's not legally the same thing. Since doing things to get people to quit have to be larger than you need to work at your place of employment. It's moving them across the country, making them work unsocialable hours, etc. Not returning to the office, which the goverment actually wants. Remote work is bad for the economy.
That's true for me as well, but I learned these after many failures. Now, I start by writing enums and structs for the problem, then iterate the design with functions and if it's really needed add these functions as impl of a certain struct/enum. This is the inverse of "Object-Oriented" design where one has to start from interfaces and manipulate data to satisfy the interfaces.

> The message, sent on Thursday and titled “pause all hiring worldwide”, came two days after the billionaire told staff to return to the workplace or leave

So people who claimed less than 24h ago it was at lest partially a way of creating cheap layoffs, were proven right pretty swiftly.
A couple of days ago somebody posted this Reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/v2lpdw/e...

"Tesla expanded massively during Covid, as of now half of the dev team(including me) don’t have parking space or desk. It’s physically impossible for everyone to return to office.

"Should I ignore the email, or should I drive to the office and sit under the stairs?"

Commenters' general feeling was that it was a soft layoff, and some speculated that it might amount to constructive dismissal.
Jury nullification isn't idiotic. It's the genius behind the system. It's the last bulwark of freedom against a tyrannical law. Read up on the Zenger trial for some history.

And "real countries"? I don't know what that's supposed to mean but I don't know of any other nation that has a stronger claim to being "real." Japan perhaps.
Taxing carbon would impact airlines much less than you might think.

A carbon tax high enough to basically kill off all ICE cars and fossil fuel power plants would modestly impact airfare costs. Airlines are convenient and take very direct routes while getting extreme fuel efficiency per passenger.
You can have them do a test and adjust the system depending on the filter that's installed to make sure it's moving enough air (though that is mainly important when heating to prevent the heating element from overheating).
The thing is, Tesla isn't a Coinbase. Tesla is now a giant manufacturing company that makes a lot of things, brings in revenue, and has some really solid engineering. I don't like their cars from a UX standpoint, but the engineering in their motors and battery packs are solid good products.

Move fast and break things might have been fine in the early days. Seems to me like the company needs to 'grow up' and demonstrate responsibility to shareholders and customers, and to do that it likely involves significantly sidelining Musk, who clearly behaves very erratically.

Can you name a few, or several? I'd sincerely like to know, as Shopify is usually top of mind for me.

I built my own e-commerce site in Django a few years ago. I'll never do that again! I learned a lot, but building the site was about 5% of the work necessary to running the business.
That's actually pretty standard practice. An official layoff at a large company is going to be kept to a pretty tight circle until it is officially announced. It isn't uncommon for hiring managers to be unaware and only know that currently they have open head count, even if the plan in the works is to include open positions as part of the reduction in force.
Perhaps, but these designs endure as some of the most gorgeous computers of the time.
I'm no stranger to food nerdery, arguably a food nerd myself, but this particular flavour seems to come from the US only. Googling "how to season cast iron frying pan" seems to link to US website regardless.
Another approach is to use Bayesian, and state some meaningful priors. This is implicit regularization (constraining) since the priors are "pulling" back the parameter values based on the data (likelihood), and in the end you get some kind of compromise between the two (posterior). One example I have is when estimating traffic flow, and I put a Poisson (or Half-Normal - works ok as well) distribution as my prior, with some gut-feeling/logically-reasonable parameters.

Considering how bad Elon is at making predictions, this is actually great news.
This blog is great, I'd never seen it before. I use racket by default unless I have a specific reason to choose another language. It turns out I've used several packages by this author but never come across the blog before. Rackcheck and http-easy have never done me wrong and imo could be part of the standard library.
Here's a list:

I thought I was taking crazy pills, none of them look like kermit bur rather they look like a generic frog. They don't even have the same pattern around his collar.
I'm sure that's the case. But personally I wouldn't want to be a SWE in that kind of scenario. Dumpster fire all around you and company as a whole pivoting to austerity while at the same time hiring 20+ software engineers? When I see that many open postings at once, alarm bells go off.

How many folks here know about the word 'pariah'?

Do you use it in regular conversations or writings, or come across it in new articles/quotes etc and don't flinch at all?

Can you consider if you would have the same reaction if the 'pariah' word was replaced with the dreaded N-word?

I think this could be an educational issue.

This too is a slavery issue, instead of a group of people we know suffering through centuries of mistreatment and worse, these people in India have suffered for millenia...
Still, the primary purpose is most likely to be security of the network, not transactions which makes the cost to secure the network the better metric.
This can't be a serious question. Does everyone who works at google have to use a Pixel phone, too?
>do i not have the right to bear the name of my forebears?

Why should this be a right?

Inherited "wealth" is not considered a unrestricted right in many societies.

The wealth tax is a great example of how society regulates "concentration of power" through inherited wealth.

Caste based inheritance of wealth has no such regulation.
I liked your thoughts but disagree with the conclusion.

It seems that serverless is cost prohibitive in many scenarios, and requires lots of optimization to be cost effective. So isn't it more of a fault of serverless than a strength of rust?
I think it's a very high likelihood. Why? Because Musk is idea-driven and doesn't really care about money, so he is the perfect person to harness with financial and legal obligation, because he will continue to pull no matter what. Sure it's slavery with extra steps, plus so many people hate Musk there's not even a cultural downside!
Wait, now I'm confused. If what you want is reproducibility, why does it matter that the rounding be correct? It seems to me that what matters in this case is that the rounding conform to some standard or specification. Why should it matter what that standard actually is?
>circumventing all copyright can be as simple as creating a sufficiently close derivative and giving it away.

That's correct. People do this all the time, sans the giving it away part.

Also, there is no way that you can argue these images are not transformative.
To be honest that doesn't seem too convincing for a new language. It actually reminds me of the early dogmatism of Java which today is often seen as too restrictive.

Rust makes an argument about safety but only for a select few types of errors and the cost seem rather high.
It doesn't lol
Let me get this straight:

"Work 80 hr weeks! Be just like me!"

Musk: becomes worlds richest person

Employees: laid off

What planet do you live on where you see this as a sustainable, world-improving system for the world and for compensation? Anyone that works 50 hr weeks for this dude is out of their mind.
Not me, but in a previous job the interim office manager used a physical calculator to add up columns from an excel sheet she was working on with her computer. I gave her a quick intro into SUM & co. Unsurprisingly, those tasks took a lot less time after that!

In the future, artists and bands will be obsolete, there will just be music. To some extent this already happens, where tracks get copied, passed around and re-mixed so much that no one knows who did them.
It's not clear how this performs over having no fans and filters at all.
I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling. This isn't impressive because the AI model doesn't accurately capture the "feel" of Kermit!?
Very hard to do for new/popular cars. When the Honda Pilot was introduced, there was no dealer stock. They used the 3-day full refund no questions asked method of selling them unseen. Wasn’t always accepted but as they had nothing to sell, it was not a great loss.
Except if yo lay off 10% you get to cut (at least some of) the 10% you want to get rid off. And if you rely on persuading people to quit by reducing satisfaction, you'll get rid of a large chunk of the 10% best employees instead.
Can I echo this sentiment?

I also understand the frustration of losing key features... But yeah, I don't wanna be near anyone peepin down on their map while blasting down a descent at 40-50 mph lol. You better be laser focused on everything in your peripheral and immediate field of view, and look at all the data/ metrics/ navigation after the fact.

Christ. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.
Yeah, effectively you're both whispering directly into each other's ear, which, even if possible in-person is a bit uncomfortable.
Are you aware that this is how human artists work, too? They make countless works that aren't comparable to their top works. Even more so if you count the practice when they were just starting out. I think some people just refuse to believe that real art can be generated without humans and selectively look for things that confirm their pre-determined conclusion. Witnessing this always feels like witnessing someone before the wheel was invented, when things were rolled and logs, assuring everyone that technology will never beat manual labor because look at how cumbersome it is to work with logs.
Not defending Tesla or Musk specifically here, but this happens all the time. Until you're ready to announce to internal staff (and publicly, if you're large enough) that you're in a hiring freeze and/or doing layoffs, you need to keep up appearances that things are operating normally, even if that means keeping up the recruiting pipeline for positions that you have no intention of hiring.

The absolute worst thing you can do is go into a "soft freeze" mode where new hires slowly stop getting approved, backfills aren't happening, middle management gets told that hiring will be revisited next quarter, etc. Non-management employees will notice this and you'll start getting rumors circulating and people leaving.
I did the same thing, and I don't regret it.

And my advice to my younger self would be to find a middle ground: do meaningful work but don't neglect the necessities.

The trouble with getting rich first is that you can't know beforehand how much time and effort it'll take to get there.

And focusing only on money may change you.
You might end up waiting for a while. It seems like most places that make any mention of training are just talking about it and not really doing it. My company talks up training. It's basically "here's a Coursera login to use in your spare time". But of course nobody has spare time. Even if you do use it, it better be related to your job or you'll never get the chance to actually work on and retain the knowledge for the topic.

From what I heard, Apple‘s OpenGL driver had a lot of bugs & issues, now that they kind of re-built it as a wrapper, did they they care to replicate the bugs as well? If not I would assume that some Apps might not work with this new wrapper or maybe some even get perf boosts. Or am I understanding things wrong?

Adding the .0 expresses your intent that it is a float. Expressing intent in the code is a form of documentation and makes the code easier to maintain; someone coming later can tell you meant it to be one way, vs it accidentally being that way. It's no different than adding parens around elements in a math formula when they're not needed; if the formula is complex enough, adding some parens to group things can make it clearer to the person reading it, even if it doesn't actually change the behavior.
I think "legit" in this context might mean more of the Twitter post author's representation of their use of DALL-E 2:

- Were the prompts shown the ones fed to DALL-E 2 or were there more complex details described in the prompt?

- Were these the first images generated for the prompt, or did the author generate many images and cherry-pick the best example, and if so from how many?
> It's better if they quit than if they're laid off.

It would help if the run-user was not the same user that owns the files on disk. The run-user should only need to write logs and caches and databases. Not jsp files.

I usually try and make this so, but it is often very hard to impossible. Vendors do not make it easy.

It's funny that 10 years ago "a human did it" would be, by far, the most plausible explanation. Today, it's "AI did it." Put another way, if a human made these then it'd be as shocking as seeing DALL-E 2 in 2012.
Back in PowerPC days, there used to be a company that would port popular game titles to OS X a few years after they were released for Windows.

I don't remember their name or know whether they're still around, but I believe that at least on Intel Macs, Wine/Crossover have already claimed that niche, and it seems like there are some promising efforts to go on on Apple Silicon (with a combination of Wine system call translation/reimplementation and Rosetta 2 CPU architecture emulation).
using c++17/c++20 with g++'s sanitizers(e.g. undefined behavior) and static analyzers, along with clangd the LSP, they too caught most if not all coding errors at editing time and compiling time. In recent two years once my c++ program compiles warning free, it seems bug-free at the same time.

I had the same problem with these questions. Then one day a recruiter said to me, "kageneko, your engineering skills are on top, but your question answering is really bad. I think it would help if you wrote down some questions and answers beforehand."

So, I did. I tried to remember every question every recruiter had asked me (and started taking notes from then on). I wrote down 1-2 paragraph answers for each question. I found that just the act of writing down these answers and reviewing them later helped even when the interviewer would ask questions that were not on my practice sheet. It would nudge my memory and keep things fresh and a lot of things could be used for related topics.
