Ethereum's Ropsten Testnet Successfully Merges
Agreed, I'm not a huge fan either because something's gotta give and in my opinion, it's macOS in this case with how they've been iOS-ifying it year after year.

With that said, I do see the benefit if you primarily develop for Apple platforms to take advantage of their push for the "universal app" development where you can share most of the same code base and have a consistent UI/UX across all of their devices.
I've done this, except it was big government.

Pick your battles. Not only is it exhausting to make everything a fight, but people will appreciate it more, and be on your side more, if you pick only the important things to stand your ground on.

Make friends. There will be people who feel the same way, finding them is usually good to get things done quickly. It can be important also to break down the team barriers. Requiring a different team to accomplish something is a big part of friction, and knowing individuals in those teams that get stuff done can help. The way to get them on side is to make their jobs easier, and again picking your battles and compromising are good ways to do this.

Get buy in on big changes. So this is different from making friends. You need to develop people that agree that a change needs to happen, and on a way of making that change. I'd start small, with convincing Individual Contributors first, particularly if there are very well respected ones. Then seeking out management and building the case that the changes will improve their situation. This can be a slow process. Managers will appreciate it if it can seem like their project, and once it does, you'll have their backing because they don't want it to fail.

All that said, there are certainly places where this sort of friction is minimal, usually remote devops driven start-ups or consultancies.

I'd use buzz words also, to help make your case. The whole DevOps shift comes with some principles that you can wield to make the case that infra changes should belong in the team, and CI/CD and similar require that VMs (well, pods really) be spun up easily, and from an API.
It feels extremely likely that there were many other powerful people who were involved. The fact that many of them (Dershowitz, Trump, Prince Andrew) were publicly accused at a time before the Miami Herald’s reporting made all this common knowledge feels pretty damn credible. I find it highly unlikely that these multiple women could independently fabricate similar stories that then perfectly align with information and photographs that subsequently emerge once the media started digging.

The fact that Epstein’s original deal contained a ridiculous provision that shut down any FBI investigation into co-conspirators just seems to confirm that there were, in fact, co-conspirators. Otherwise there would have been no reason to put that in the agreement.
I would argue the point that Stuyvesant is the "best" but I don't disagree with your point. The problem is that a lot of the money ends up in the schools with the rich kids and for a lot a lot of students and schools they never see anywhere near that type of money.
> I think my counter is that being a parent honestly seems thankless.

I hear that the smile on your child's face is infinite reward.

> We know its not like watching a movie, or riding a bike or even going to the gym unless the gym costs you ~250k while simultaneously acting like the rude jerk I did when I was a teen.

Yet, like I said, people do it gladly. They do it even knowing about the way it affects the woman's body, knowing about the sleep depravation, knowing about the terrible two's, knowing about the "you're stupid and I hate you" teens.

If it were as simple as "this activity costs 250k and is a rude jerk" then nobody would do it. Yet they say it's so worth it.[1]

So if it's so worth it for you, then do it. But I don't want to hear about how you're the victim of your own choice. Everyone is. I'll never be a fighter pilot, nor an astronaut.[2]

Pilot and astronaut is the road not taken, for me.

If someone chooses to have a baby and stay home for 5 years, then that's about 11% of their working life not spent improving their career. You'll never have those 11% again, and I won't pretend you walked two roads at the same time. Because nobody can.

And those 11% are placed in a critical point. If someone took age 60-65 off, then that won't affect their career as much.

If someone leaves university at 25, has a baby and takes five years off, then they are now 30 with zero work experience.

That's not fairness, that's physics.

[1] Though one guy I know said he used to not be able to comprehend why anyone would not want children. Now after he's had children he understands. He would absolutely do it again, but at least he understands people who don't want them.

In this specific case, my working hypothesis is that the overwhelming majority (if not all) of my choices are of equally mediocre quality, so spending a lot of money to test this is a waste of money.

The "big hardass customer" buys enough product to have a reasonable expectation of effecting change in the suppliers, so running both the experiments suggested by GP, and performing post-mortem analysis of failed components can be expected to steadily improve quality over time.
That, and cloud usage means they control you, the tools you use, when you can use them, from where you can use them and that's before we get into telemetry and so on.
Sounds like a deal. I'm pretty sure I'm paying a lot more than that every year.
Thats a really nice quote; thanks for that.
Thank you. I see so much that people conflate some issues has having been a direct result of the pandemic. Its like, nope, the pandemic just made the problem surface, but the problem has been there for a lot longer. With nursing, it is keeping the nurses understaffed and hiring travel nurses when they are suddenly backed into a corner. Many hospital systems have been under-staffing nurses for years, it just didn't become apparent until the pandemic. The nurses at my local hospital went on strike a year BEFORE COVID over this exact issue.
I see web development is still trying to make something fundamentally ill-suited for its task work by stacking shoddy layer after shoddy layer on top of it, just like it did when I left web development 10 years ago and went back to system programming.

System programming also has its warts, but at least most of the time you don't feel like you're working against the machine.

>> It is whether someone could successfully execute this fraud.

>Wouldn't this become a certainty given enough Investment?

No, because the larger the fraud, the easier it is to detect and detection would make is unsuccessful. This requires an expertly targeted fraud that is both large enough to change the overall result while being small enough to go undetected. I don't think that specific combination is possible without a large conspiracy behind it.

>> Safety lessons in building design

>> In the field of building design, we will retain two safety lessons.

>> First of all, the requirements applicable to battery charging rooms, when they are located inside a building, require a sufficient degree of fire resistance to prevent its propagation to the rest of the building. The existing regulations already seem complete to us, and the OHV accident does not call their technical relevance into question.

>> However, two configurations, in the current state of the regulations, deserve particular attention:

>> - When the batteries used are not likely to generate hydrogen during charging (if lead batteries are now mainly used in energy storage in data centers, lithium technology offers one more alternative more competitive which tends to develop);

>> - Or when these load rooms are located outside.

>> On the first point, the BEA-RI considers that the prescription relating to the constructive provisions should also concern the other battery technologies for which electrical failure and thermal runaway cannot be physically ruled out. This type of failure can lead to major fires and justify specific construction measures.

>> On the second point (outdoor charging rooms), the BEA-RI recalls the recommendations issued in its report MTE-BEARI-2021-004 on the battery container fire in Perles and Castelet (09)

>> Finally, the report points out that protecting the battery room is not sufficient, given the outbreak of fire at the level of the inverter:

Would you mind commenting on XCode? I heard that Apple really cares about accessibility.
The benefit is consistent design and branding across platforms.

They're not eliminating design that leverages the unique capabilities of each platform, they're standardizing inconsistent shared design. It says as much in the second part of the text you quoted:

> making it simpler to explore common design approaches while still preserving relevant details about each platform
I think that would be a bad generalization. Maybe people obsessed enough with video games that you find out that's why they are learning CS are bad coders?

AMD HIP support on Linux now works without proprietary drivers on RDNA2 cards! My 6700xt is great as all I had to do was just install hip-runtime-amd package on Debian from AMD's ROCm repo¹.

EJs pretty much everywhere are volunteers.

A big part of the integrity of the system comes down to controls that are instituted at the precinct level, where there's less oversight but also less ability to plausibly influence the election, coupled with much stricter oversight at the central counting stations.

Downballot elections typically happen concurrently with statewide elections, so that doesn't help you: they don't get counted separately, and you're still stuck evading the same controls that protect the statewide elections.

There are tight elections, but in a reasonably run election system, any one precinct is going to have a very narrow margin --- in the best case for attackers --- to influence results. You can't predict where that narrow margin is going to actually be helpful. But it's going to be incredibly risky anywhere you try it.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense as a crime.
Consider detaching your GitHub repo as a fork of tilt-brush.

Whenever I come across a fork on GH, my first assumption is that the fork is aiming to be merged back into the main repo in the future, and my second assumption is that the maintainers of the fork have less of an interest in the project than the original project’s maintainers. It’s a signal of lower quality IMO. You should keep mention of the original project in your docs, but I personally don’t think it’s necessary to keep the repo as a fork.

You can use the GitHub virtual assistant to request this: https://support.github.com/request/fork

I am pretty sure that issues, PRs, stars, and everything should be preserved, but don’t take my word for it.

It's why I believe L4 self-driving is the tech that will actually reverse car dependency. If robotaxi fleets become preferred to car ownership(which would occur through the resulting economies of scale in a centralized fleet driving people to save money), the aggressive drivers stop ruling the road, replaced with polite "Three Laws" drivers; then the traffic starts downscaling because most urban trip making will work in smaller scooter or smart-car style vehicles which will benefit from continuing improvements to EV tech, and the services will optimize to cost; you'll still have the larger options available, but they appear on-demand, which makes all the difference when you're thinking about how to service a family of four. Cargo trips are already shifting in favor of autonomous delivery; two weeks ago, Wal-Mart went from testing drone delivery services to expanding them to multiple US states, and they project making 1 million deliveries this year.

So some critical threshold will occur where it becomes obvious that you have a vast unused road infrastructure, because the total urban fleet has consolidated into something that is physically smaller and literally less road-dependent, and nobody is there to prop up car ownership politically except a few enthusiasts and people living out of their cars. At that point downsizing is imminent everywhere.

It only took 20 years for cars to overtake horses in the industrialized world, and the bulk of it happened in 10. It'll happen faster this time.
It's actually pretty trivial to speed up, if you have multiple documents to parse, you can use multiprocessing.

result.append(p.text)
return result

with Pool(processes=16) as pool:

In retrospect, it’s kind of mystifying that Apple didn’t merge A/UX and System 7 into a next-gen OS.
This has been solved by just about any other western country, and probably a lot of other countries.

E.g. I have an eID card. The gov can reset the pin. There are procedures to request a new one. Therecare revocation lists. Fake eIDs are rare. Its not perfect, but it works great compared to the USA.

The real problem is a semi religious fear of the US governement having working ID systems. So there are all kinds of half baked substitutes in use, that barely work and push the trouble on the end user. ID theft is a solved problem just about anywhere, if the US wants it, it can solve it too.
Travis County - and all counties in Texas - makes their property tax rates, appraisals, and other germane information public by default.

For Travis County, the information is at traviscad.org ("cad" = "County Appraisal District"); for Williamson County, wcad.org; and so on with variations on county name.

As to the 99% rate: most people are paying a combined escrowed property tax + mortgage combo, so I'm not surprised at such a high number - no tax collected means you've got bigger problems.

JavaScript has highly dynamic eval with lots of scoping issues very similar to the issues that everybody thought were dealbreakers with fexprs.

Have you seen the payload numbers for light aircraft? Payload with full fuel on a Cessna 172 is only 369lb. How much does a vessel that can withstand 10 bar weigh? A light truck tire weighs about 50lb. Recall that this vessel must withstand the temperature, pressure, and vibration extremes of aircraft application. Light truck tires aren't typically filled with flammable gasses.

10bar is a terrifying amount of pressure when it comes in your direction.

What you're trying to say is "I don't like the way it's run". Okay, fine. That doesn't make it "not open source".

I have projects where I don't accept patches. "It works for me" and I just don't feel like reviewing patches. Is that not "open source" in spite of being MIT licenced?

"I can do with the code what I want" is the entire and only point of Open Source and Free Software, something Stallman and many others have been pretty clear about over the years.
This is the reason I don't use the typescript compiler and instead use babel to strip the types out completely on compilation. I use vs-code's built-in type checking when coding in dev and then throw out types in prod. Fast dev builds and still get all the type checking I want. Optionally you can run the full blown typescript compiler as part of CI/CD if you want to ensure no errors or warnings hit prod.

I’ll give you credit, that is indeed a 3rd party addition that would bring something else to the table that I overlooked.

I can’t say I particularly like it though. I do care about suppressing crime, but not to the point of becoming a police state. That ship may have already sailed between both existing apps like the ones you listed and the prevalence of home security cameras, so I’ll say it’s at least worth considering.

> in truth it's like 10 times more likely to just make complete shit up if it doesn't understand the source

I use this to learn German. Instead of translating a text EN->DE and not practicing any writing skills, I'll write my best attempt at German and see if it's understandable by running it through the DE->EN or DE->NL translator. (In cases where I care about the quality, I'll then patch up the English/Dutch if necessary, run it NL/EN->DE, and use that version.)

For this purpose, I'm glad that it makes a best guess at what my broken German must mean, and it usually does a fair job (easy to say because I know what I meant, so no validation issues there). Of course this is not great for every use-case, for example it would be better if it additionally displayed confidence (e.g. slightly graying out subsentences below 80% confidence), but it also has advantages to make a good guess at the meaning of the source.

And when I put in something unintelligible, unintelligible stuff comes out. It's not really just making something up, at least not in my experience with EN/DE/NL. No idea what happened there with that Japanese example.
