As humans we are adverse to complexity and naturally lazy, our goal is always to find easier ways to do things that benefit us more. It's why languages like Python have taken off.

A large portion of the population is being told that programming is where you go to make a ton of money, and then subsequently hear that machine learning is the future of programming where you don't need to understand your data, you don't need to understand anything. You just plug in some magic codes and get out great results because the computer learns what you want!

Of course, it's not like that. But we're going to see a lot more of this attitude, because Machine Learning is not pitched as "high level statistics" but rather "magic that does what you want!"
From an engineering POV it's an interesting exercise.

From the perspective of product design, are these features really something Dell's customers are asking for?

Along the same lines, while it's easy not to confuse "Air" with "Pro", does this over-engineering (?) hurt the XPS line?

Thin for the sake of thin? Thin at all costs (i.e., no headphone jack? How big is that market?
Food for thought: Thinkpad X1 vs Macbook Pro and X1 Nano vs Air. Same sizes but about 70% of the weight and more durable. Yet, people feel that aluminium feels more "premium" than carbon fiber + titanium and magnesium.

From a material sciences standpoint you can argue that people are just "wrong", just like a knife of solid gold would be a very stupid material choice. However, if people want to buy gold, you better offer that.
If you work in Java, why use containers? You already get a singular, portable deployment artifact.
My current laptop is an XPS 13 (9310), and I got it specifically because it comes with Ubuntu supported and installed. My work laptops before that were System76 (which is OK, but way too much of a hassle in Europe when something goes wrong).

I guess the next one will be something else again. Damn, I hate it when there isn't just a go-to model I can pick, and I hate comparing laptops and not just having an easy filter for 'works perfectly with Linux'. Ah well, this one won't need replacing for quite a while.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting something a little bigger either (15" that is) if it just comes with RJ45 Ethernet, DisplayPort and HDMI, a bunch of USB-A ports, USB-C, and a headphone jack. You know, stuff we actually use. Now I have docking stations at work and at home (hybrid office/work-from-home), which works well enough, but it feels inefficient and cumbersome.
I can't see a case where an UUID PK is better than an INT (or BIGINT). Why would you do that?

Since you've been here for seven years, you might have been lucky enough to benefit from the housing madness.

House prices are a strongly disheartening thing about this country. Right now I see more of a future for my family back in our country, problems and all, in large part because of housing. Rent is absurd, and house prices more so. I consider moving to BC interior where housing is somewhat cheaper, but prices still insanely not worth it. At least back home I can own a property, build wealth and have some peace of mind + early retirement.

Re dieting doesn’t work - temporary calorie restriction is often beneficial. It really depends on how it is done, eg IF, water fasting, and fasting-mimicking diet have been documented to yield interesting results. I’m not a fan of such blanket claims, they are not conducive to learning.
Any kind of reading, listening or observation without interaction (action and feedback) is unsupervised learning.
Seems like this could create a group of kids who were formerly driven to school and live out of schoolbus range, but their parents go to work too early to be able to drive them now.

I wonder if there are provisions for this in the new plan (e.g., the school opens early for kids to just hang around if they still need to be dropped off early).

Pure disinformation.

“During the Omicron-predominant period, overall weekly adult hospitalization rates peaked at 38.4 per 100,000, exceeding the previous peak on January 9, 2021 (26.1) and the peak rate during the Delta-predominant period (15.5).”

It’s been more than two years. Disinformation such as yours is transparent by now.

Even in the vector age, though, one of the things we've learned from pixel icons is that different sizes would ideally have different levels of detail.

For example, see this camera icon: https://useiconic.com/icons/camera-slr/ (in the left pane, click the "three squares" icon to render them all at the same size). All three are vectors (you can inspect them if you want), but they still show different levels of detail. If you take the high-detail icon and render it at a small size, the details add visual clutter that are hard to understand at a small output size. Or with this book icon (https://useiconic.com/icons/book/), if you go the other way and scale the small book up to a larger size, it's harder to tell what it is because the "pages" part at the bottom is so thick -- which was a design necessity at smaller outputs, or it'd have been invisible, but at larger sizes it's too thick.

So even with vectors, the essential takeaway of this particular challenge still stands:

> [how to] distill the essence of your design and make sure your icon is clear and understandable at all sizes

Every vector icon still gets rasterized at some point for displaying to your monitor's pixel grid, not to mention human perception. Vectorization is a transport/delivery concern, but in and of itself it doesn't replace the thoughtful design of the pixel era.

Fonts can work similarly... they are usually vector these days, but still each glyph can look different at different sizes and can be dynamically controlled to look better at different render sizes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-optica...
I can see it now: HewlPackCoin, a crypto coin pegged to the current price per ounce of Hewlett Packard ink cartridges. They seem to synergize well. In theory, if you tweak the parameters correctly, you can print a transaction output equal to the value of the ink it was created with. Stable!

Just seconding this as a sane way to use UUIDs IME. Basically the sequential integer PK is the “internal ID”. IIRC in SQLite regardless of type or existence of PK there is a private sequential integer. Super handy pattern to use.

do you have any references to back these statements up? I am not an expert but I did read in a hacker News comment that the energy density of gasoline is about 14 (reading that article, its 50) times higher than a "normal" battery.

if that is true (I do not think that he left references either) then I would think that your statements seem less plausible.

a replier who later deleted their comment left a reference saying the energy density is 50 to 1, comparing lithium-ion battery to diesel: https://www.batterypowertips.com/comparing-ev-battery-and-fu...

That's essentially what the prototype projects are doing, except optimized for taxiing vs. "just" pushback or maintenance moves - normal pushback truck is not exactly prepared to handle high traffic taxiing, partially due to how communication between aircraft and pushback is handled.

So those projects investigate a solution that is optimized for the whole taxi trip at full traffic at the airport, including electric solutions to avoid currently heavy diesel pushback trucks.
It might be worth contacting these extensions' creators.

Some just do not know about it.

Some can, some can't. I'd wager it's a lot easier for companies to get loans than poor families.
From the article:

> Adolescents in the U.S. are chronically sleep-deprived, in part because most schools start too early.

The goal of changing the start time is to allow students to sleep more.

But changing the number on the clock doesn't mean students will sleep more. Allowing students to start at 8am instead of 7am will just mean they go to bed and hour later because teenagers are terrible about going to bed on time.

I would guess a considerable percentage because launching and landing takes a disproportional amount of power. Iirc their information correctly then launching and landing takes 10x as much power as level flight. That's because in these situations lift has to be generated by the fans instead of the wings. So short flights are actually disadvantageous.
You can do all that with HTML (with semantic markup) and CSS though

We are arguing different things, and would probably mostly agree if we sat down to summarize our views.

French authorities are corrupt morons, but there are countries in the world that largely do evidence-based health policy once they get around to it. Norway’s did very good, in general. Including cancelling AstraZeneca, which made everyone get up in arms about how irresponsible they were.
It always feels like a huge win to successfully make the case _not_ to build something we don't need. Unfortunately it's hard to make the case for such work in performance reviews.
We’re talking about two different kinds of microwaves. There are the ones you describe where the vent is inside the upper cabinet, those are designed to be vented outside. Then there’s the microwaves where the vent is in front of the cabinet doors, runs along the whole length of the microwave and blows up at the outside of the upper cabinet doors. There is nowhere you could even route it because anything on top of the microwave to capture it would physically block the doors from opening.
>Hannah Jones, a chartered forensic psychologist who has been appointed in the family courts as an expert since 2014, said: “True alienation of a parent where that parent is entirely unproblematic is rare enough that it does not need its own concept.”

WTF? Why in the world does the other parent need to be "entirely unproblematic" to recognize the deleterious effect to the child of one parent brainwashing the kids against the other?

In my (pretty vast) experience, parental alienation is very common to varying degrees. Of course that doesn't mean the reactions should be further weaponized.
Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity are the same age, though. They cover two ends of the propagation strategy spectrum. Paul tried to position Christianity as a pivot from Temple Judaism like the Sanhedrin did with Rabbinic Judaism, but the "light" version that spread like wildfire among Roman slaves is what survived. Roman slaves didn't really care about Jesus's messianic genealogy or all the allusions to him being the final pascal lamb, it was the salvation story ( itself a repackaging of exodus) that resonated. So Christianity sees itself as a successor while Rabbinic Judaism sees itself as a continuation.
I’ve been working on a robust scheme for encrypted sequential IDs, which is done, including library implementations in Rust, JavaScript and Python, pending just a smidgeon more writing about it and reviewing a decision on naming. You store an integer in the database, then encrypt it with a real block cipher, and stringify with Base58. I have three modes: one for 32-bit IDs, using Speck32/64 and producing 4–6 character IDs; one for 64-bit IDs, using Speck64/128 and producing 8–11 character IDs; and one hybrid, using the 32-bit mode for IDs below 2³² and the 64-bit mode above that, providing both a forwards-compatibility measure and a way of producing short IDs as long as possible. Contact me (see my profile) if you’re interested, or I’ll probably publish it in another day or two. Trouble is that I’ve been getting distracted with other related concepts, like optimally-short encoding by using encryption domains [0, 58¹), [58¹, 58²), …, [58¹⁰, 2⁶⁴) (this is format-preserving encryption; the main reputable and practical choices I’ve found are Hasty Pudding, which I’ve just about finished implementing but would like test vectors for but they’re on a dead FTP site, and NIST’s FF1 and FF3, which are patent-encumbered), and ways of avoiding undesirable patterns (curse words and such) by skipping integers from the database’s ID sequence if they encode to what you don’t want, and check characters with the Damm algorithm. If I didn’t keep getting distracted with these things, I’d have published a couple of weeks ago.

(I am not aware of any open-source library embodying a scheme like what I propose—all that I’ve found have either reduced scope or badly broken encryption; https://github.com/yi-jiayu/presents encrypts soundly, but doesn’t stringify; Hashids is broken almost beyond belief and should not be considered encryption; Optimus uses an extremely weak encryption.)

UUIDs are crazy overkill in any situation where you can have centralised ID allocation. Fully decentralised? Sure, 128 bits of randomness or mixed clock and randomness or similar, knock yourself out. But got a master database? Nah, you’re just generating unreasonably long values that take up unnecessary space and make for messy URLs and such.
Anybody who has looked into this subject for more that 20 seconds knows that two drunken old men named "Doug" and "Dave" could not account for the hundreds upon hundreds of radically complex and often astronomically precise formations that have appeared (and continue to appear) over the years. Doug and Dave appeared precisely at the serious "WTF is going on moment" in the UK just when hysteria was about to strike, and presto, the question was put to rest. This NYT story is ridiculous.

This is _not_ to say that people don't create these by hand -- including some extremely complex formations -- but certainly not Doug and Dave, and overnight (and often times in just a few hours), and in great volume, with a depth of symbol and reference written in, day after day after day.

There is real mystery here, and I would recommend that anyone who would like to look into it deeper (if only to debunk!) read 'Secrets In The Fields: The Science And Mysticism Of Crop Circles' (https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Fields-Mysticism-Circles-anni...)
That's where recording samples of analogue gear comes into play...

You can play an organic riff, or even an entire part and then integrate it with fully digital work in most modern DAWs, and then all the effects and settings can be saved, this allows a much more consistent and clean sound.

In the digital world there are tools to completely remove artifacts like humming, clicks and pops, even undesired notes... Stuff I dreamed about years ago being able to do is now possible.

I think it's hard now to not be able to say digital is better overall. Even if you record full analogue, the process of music reaching people you don't know usually relies on some form of digital encoding or conversion to reach the public's ears, unless they spend a lot on vinyl and high end tube amp sound systems (or vintage ones).
A staged accident by foreign forces is the OP's wild assertion, I've made no such point.

I'm suggesting that a more banal circumstance, lack of maintenance, and then a true accident, is much more likely. My point is that the current political environment makes deflecting blame in this situation a possibility, not that you would stage an accident to intentionally take advantage of it.

How this is a harder idea to accept then "the russians are secretly blowing this up" is amazing to me, particularly on this forum.
That is how I used to do (and currently still do) DB design, but honestly I think if DBs start supporting UUID v7s well that I would use that as the sole primary DB key as well as the external ID:

1. They are still sorted in increasing timestamp order (at millisecond granularity), so they should have good DB index characteristics.

2. At the same time, they contain 62 bits of randomness, would should pretty much eliminate IDOR attacks if there is a bug elsewhere that isn't doing proper access checks. Not good enough for secure tokens, but just good defense against access permission check bugs.

That is, you should basically get the best of both worlds: ordered keys with enough randomness to make ID-increment attacks infeasible.
> rely on the state to provide education that traditionally has come from parents, there's a problem

Are you suggesting that parents traditionally educate their children in personal finance? If so, I do not agree.
The proper solution to that is to use a CPU that supports encrypting RAM.

Soldering RAM does nothing since you can still, at least in principle, reattach it to another device.
On a related subject, does anyone know of a simple technique to download and save large quantities of all publicly available research articles?
UUIDs have a few distinct advantages: you'll never run out, you don't need a roundtrip to find out what they are after saving them, they often make a good partitioning key and it makes things easier if you ever need to combine multiple data sources together in migration and recovery type scenarios. I also quite like how they're unique across all data sources and tables, so if you just encounter a random contextless UUID in the wild, for example in a support ticket, you can probably still find what it refers to.

They are quite unwieldy though. There are a few compact representations you can use in URLs which make it a bit less ugly, but they can make your database and logs quite bloated, in particular if you've got a large number of small records.
Knowledge (very widely understood, including more nuanced understanding of words, internal simulation of future actions etc.) would have to never come in contact with the external world. I guess you could argue that at the point of observation it is unsupervised, since we're kind of assuming whole person to be a single object here.
Long term effects of Stuxnet are unclear. In the short term, it was a huge win in delaying the programme and sending a message that even air gapped systems are at risk. In the long term, Stuxnet put the programme and every adversary on notice that they should increase focus on security practices.

If the id appears in a url, you may not want people to guess ids. The information leak exists even if you do authentication: maybe you don't want someone to be able to guess how many records there are, or how quickly records are being generated
If for no other reason than simplified debugging I find there is value. Maybe I’m old but if you have more than one UUID involved in the debugging I’m more likely to trip up than just integers.

My high school started at 8:30 twenty years ago, and it was hell waking up to be there on time. Cut a period and let kids go in at 10am. 9:30am at the earliest. This, of course, will never happen. Even if it did happen, school at 10 implies that kids will wake up at 9 or earlier, which is still torturous.
