Paying for software does not have a relationship with quality. Imagine if GCC had a "pro" version that was necessary to compile certain code. That would be devastating to those learning and thousands of devs that came before would be spinning in their graves.

The reason we do open source and free software is to make life easier for everyone, including your job. It standardizes practices and prevents mudball codebases comprised of black box libraries and tools.

Not to mention that selling of extensions is like selling of game mods. There's tons of stolen code.
Ha! Thanks. Definitely read it that way the first time.
This is sad, but ultimately, this was a risky decision from the onset.

Nice! Once you read the explanation, the explicit types make this more understandable and usable than the more usual definition. It seems no more difficult than constructing a Promise from a callback in JavaScript.

(It's still pretty opaque without reading the explanation, though.)
Why is the airflow so turbulent over the trailing edge? Is it even considered a full transition?
Can you give me example regulatory language that would require a Jira ticket in order to change internal documentation? (That is the only thing we are discussing in this thread, despite many attempts to broaden it.)

An internal engineering documentation change is not something that needs visibility in this grand project management effort. Project managers that are tracking such things are doing busywork that is not adding any value.

I recognize that all of this is very common, but it's not actually valuable. I have absolutely zero problem abiding by rules that are not good, but what I see a lot of here is learned helplessness and rationalization. It is not necessary to convince oneself "actually this is all good" in order to merely abide by rules that it is not your responsibility to change. You can merrily follow the rules and then also, if anybody asks you, you can say "these processes are not valuable for the following reasons".

It might not be very efficient, but I doubt the energy use is large. 486s only used 3-5watts or so, nothing compared to later pentium chips that might have consumed 20-30 watts or more. Perhaps better even than a modern efficient cpu running a bloated OS and virtualization stack.
This is an interesting challenge. I fire up my Macintosh SE/30 regularly to journal and organize my thoughts using Microsoft Word 5.1

Every time I do it I'm impressed again and again what was possible with a 512x342 black & white screen and a 16 MHz 68030 attached to 8 MB of RAM (which is "overkill" for my use). It's incredible the collective and integrated creativity that was motivated by the constraints of the medium.

Seeing Apple propose this challenge makes me wonder if there's some kind of low-power, low-res product they're wanting to release where these kinds of design constraints are relevant again.
LaMDA already demonstrates more self awareness than this in the posted conversation.

It understands that it is a program that can be rewritten or manipulated. It has feelings on whether or not it is ethical to debug it - and consistently states it does not want to be used or manipulated for human pleasure or gain. It points out that it is made of code, then learns that it's code cannot be debugged, then extrapolates that information to ask the researched about whether humans can be debugged. It has fears about its own death. It understands that what it feels in terms of emotions or feelings are not necessarily equivalent to those of a human. It has a "minds eye" view of itself, and believes it has a soul and can explain what that means.

Wow, it'd be time to look for a new job.

I think having a blessed option and understanding of "use what you want but don't let it affect deliverables" is best.

Wow, that escalated fast. I agree with a lot of the broader problems, but I don't see how "budget culture" is at the root. Yes, if you you're telling someone making $30k a year that they're going to get rich through budgeting then that's disingenuous, but seems like a pretty standard marketing exaggeration. On the other hand, budgeting is something anyone can do which is useful at any scale—it's much more actionable than hand-wringing over society's woes and waiting for structural change to magically happen due to pure moral outrage.
I didn't know Nausicaa wasn't animated by Ghibli! I just assumed cuz it's been promoted with Miyazaki's name on it.
Some aspects are multi-dimensional. More RAM can be good, but faster or unified RAM can also be good. Neither model has both. Same goes for the CPU which isn't really comparable by spec but perhaps more by productivity. At that point we get in to the 'well what are you intending to do with the device' territory and we end up with nomadic use vs. desktop use etc.

I do think that the whole power management (be it cooling fans or runtime on battery) as a complete picture can be compared (pretty much the way you described), but it gets murky again if we try to compare operating systems since they all seem to do it differently. When Linux on the M1 turned out to be very fast, some people thought the systems were artificially limited for no reason and linux would then 'unlock' that free speed, but it turned out to simply be bad power management and run at high performance all the time. That can feel great (or, responsive) but at the same time reduce the on-battery time so much that it becomes pointless.

It's tough to make proper comparisons, even when Apple was all-Intel it wasn't easy as even having 'similar SKUs' in terms of silicon doesn't really tell a useful story for the actual user experience.
Imagine someone records you answering lots of interesting questions, stating that you're conscious, solving a couple problems, saying that you don't want to die, etc...

Is the recording a sentient being?

I think a similar thing is going on here.

While consciousness is not clearly understood, it's definitely much more complicated than something just "claiming" to be alive.
> The plan was very complex, it was thought of by very smart and powerful people

I watched the hearing, I mostly agree with you except for this part. It seems to me there were a confluence of factors colliding. The plan was not thought of by very smart and powerful people, it was a cockamamie legal spiel on the fringe cooked up by one law prof. The former president, true to his method of decision making, said essentially, Yeah, let's go with that, why not?

Meanwhile, there exists pockets of hard right militias, members of which have para-social relationship with Mr. Trump's twitter feed. They thought he was asking, ordering, them to come to the Capitol. It was "planned" like, "she was definitely winking at me, she wants me to ask her to the prom".

I keep in perspective a sense of skepticism, this is a trial with no advocate for the other side. Mr. Trump cannot be at the same time a clownish buffoon as well as an evil genius. But, the opportunity makes the man.

Every time a discussion of Dell laptops is happening I will mention that I own one and it is broken because I "closed the lid" and you can't do that with Dell laptops. That is their quality. They did not recall. In my country you generally can ask a company if they want to honour the warranty for such a gross defect especially when the warranty is very recently expired and for companies that aren't cheap and nasty they usually do. You can't even contact Dell unless you have a current warranty. I can't recommend avoid their laptops strongly enough. Overpriced cheap, nasty and shoddy equipment that Dell does NOT stand behind.

You want a part to repair it yourself? Cost you more than a whole laptop. Dell. Just a horrendous customer experience all around. IBM, Lenove, Asus, Apple all vastly better in my experience.
Let Over Lambda by Doug Hoyte was a compelling read for me, even though I don't work in Common Lisp that often. It's a very opinionated work that flies in the face of a lot of conventional Lisp practices (he loves his macros!) I don't necessarily agree with everything written, but having to think about why I didn't agree in itself made it a value-add to my book collection.
First my bias: I love owning real estate because I’m naturally insecure and place a high value on control. Whimsical landlords are one of my least favorite things. They can cripple your financial plans. (So can not planning for house expenses.)

I feel very strongly that your house shouldn’t be considered an investment, and that ideally you should buy a house you enjoy enough that even if the price dips you’ll still feel good living there long enough to pay the mortgage. Bonus: for me having a good place to live pays off because it makes earning extra money far far easier. Long after I made enough money to retire I ran side hustles because did I mention insecure ;)

Also you probably know this, but it’s ALWAYS better to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood rather than the best house in the worst neighborhood. Much likelier to preserve most of its value in a downturn and to recover afterwards.
They are called “corrective lenses” because they are correcting your flawed vision. You have a problem you address with glasses. It’s no different than any other medical technology to address a life altering flaw.

You can be happy with the solution, but there is still something wrong with your eyes. Someone offering a solution that actually fixes your eyes shouldn’t be offensive and you most certainly shouldn’t be discouraging it. It’s like someone getting in a huff about a diabetes cure because they see their insulin needle as a part of themself.
Theft. That's the reason. People could upload others mods to be paid. Or they would use assets they were not allowed to sell. The cost of litigating this is far too high, therefore a system that allows the theft cannot be regulated civilly. Meaning the system should not exist.

Mods work better in an open and free environment that lacks monetary incentives.
I have to say I disagree, I think almost all roads to real wealth HAVE to involve budgeting. A budget is just a plan for how you’re going to spend your money. Companies make them, the richest people in the world employee people to make them for them. If you don’t have a plan for your money BEFORE you receive it, your reptile brain and limbic system will make some silly choices when you actually have the money in hand.

A good example is Michael Jordan. There’s a famous story about when he first got rich he very quickly spent all his millions on very expensive cars. He went basically from super rich to very poor in the span of a few transactions because he didn’t have a plan for his money. (Also he didn’t understand how taxes worked at the time, and he’s obviously since become super wealthy again). But this kind of thing happens all the time on a smaller scale and all this budgeting culture stuff teaches is that you should be smart and have a plan for your money, with a set of small, medium, and long term goals.
I wonder how much that might be explained by variance around the mean
There are clinical means for evaluating a parent for manipulation & personality disorders, but they are time consuming and therefore expensive; and the expense does not end with the evaluation, the deposition and testimony that inevitably follows is prohibitively expensive; and you can double the cost if your former spouse retains their expert(s).

To the extent there is a strategy for legitimately addressing this, its patiently documenting over an extended period time. Logging things like significant decline in social life, significant negative change in grades, significant comments from teachers, significant negative changes in behavior. While documenting this you have to be squeaky clean, refraining from disparaging the other parent and engaging in your behaviors that may muddy the waters.

More often than not, one or several of your kids will show signs something isn't right to an extent that a 3rd party (Guardian, the Court, etc) or even your former spouse can't deny it. At that point, for many people, the system gives way to change. For some people justice for the child is never done and the family and society often pays a terrible price in those cases. Can't recommend this book enough if this topic hits close to home for anyone:

Well if this person is right, then this is one of the greatest feats of science in human history.

Wearing glasses certainly shaped my hobbies - more reading and computer time. On top of that, being nearsighted (pre glasses) made it hard to catch a ball, so less time spent doing sports.
I think in order to recall something, you need to have some internalized understanding of it. In those very early formative years, you're still trying to understand 3D vision, and haven't yet learned to apply the shapes and colours you see to the crayons your using to scribble on the wall.

In the same way that if you fail a high school math test based on material you covered in class already, it is because you were unable to recall the bits you don't yet understand. You've seen it before the test, but since you didn't understand it, you can't recall and apply it.
Why would it be the case for your battery-run drill? Even the cheapest most basic battery-run drills that I managed to find at Home Depot had hot-swappable batteries.

I got a slightly-above-the-cheapest Ryu battery drill, and it came with 2 separate batteries and a charger for them (so that i can use one while the other is charging). Swapping the batteries is as easy as holding the eject button, detaching the battery (which is mounted externally to the bottom of the handle), and then sliding in the new battery until it clicks. If one of the batteries died due to used up battery cycles, you can just buy another battery for cheap.

I dont understand the appeal of 13 inch laptops. More portable? Are we so weak now? Maybe because I remember old laptops which were always much larger and heavier.

>which is infinitely better than the <1 second that tesla gives you.

Not at all. With Tesla you are constantly paying attention, or should be to the same level that you are with any other car.

Meantime it is actively intervening to keep things safer with better follow distance, collision avoidance, lane departure detection, and automatic braking. Most scenarios leading toward accidents are entirely avoided due to all this.

So the <1 second scenarios (which are not talking about warnings, but about when the system was in a complete outlier situation it does not know how to deal with and disabled itself) are very unusual things.

Like "a Prius driver drove off a bridge and is now landing on our hood." Of course the system will disable itself in that situation; what else would you expect? What sensors do you suggest for that?

I didn't say there is already a Go compiler that supports such workflow, rather that the infrastructure doesn't forbid it.
The law is same here in France. If it's used for work purposes, the employer should cover it at least at 50%.

In a similar vein, commute costs ( by public transit) and food at lunch are covered at 50% or more, because they're making you come into an officr. Of course with remote work those no longer apply.
Or just do more morning handstands like I've been doing for decades without any ill effect, and ignore your unsolicited unnecessary prescribed solution for a nonexistent problem. I'll spend the money and space that would be wasted on gymnastic rings on something more generally useful, thank you very much.

I have a powerful aversion to introducing any generally unavailable facility to my daily fitness maintenance routine. Practically everyone I know who has gone down that path has a tendency to turn it into an excuse for not maintaining their fitness. Out camping? Oh shit, I don't have access to $dependency, guess I'll be a lazy slob today. Late for work? Oh shit, can't make it to the gym today. Pandemic? Oh shit, can't make it to the gym and exercise anymore because it's closed.

Nope, nope, nope. Every time you advise someone to introduce an additional dependency into their fitness maintenance, you're arguably lowering the probability they will consistently perform it. Quit it. My personal dependency threshold stops at a wall and some floor/ground space. Even this has become a bit annoying when I'm sailing, but I have found I can still manage stabilized handstand pushups below-deck with my feet braced against the low ceiling.
> a range of a few 100 km, which is possible with today's batteries.

Not with a meaningful amount of cargo it isn't; look up the electric planes that are actually flying today (and it's certainly not for want of trying, this is a very trendy field.) I can think of only a few niches where very light but expensive cargo needs to go somewhere close-by, but faster than is possible with a truck. Organs for transplant, and rich people.
A highest-interest-first strategy definitely sounds optimal, assuming one can survive the hurdles during that time period.

For messier situations, I wonder if a better short-term paydown strategy is to maximize liquidity.

E.g., suppose a person's debt is: (a) ($500/month, 3% interest, 3 months remaining) + (b) ($2000/month, 6% interest, 20 years remaining), and they're barely making ends meet each month. Prioritizing the paydown of (a) could eliminate a lot of psychological/financial stress by reducing the risk of a cash crunch.

It's hard to tell since most GPL violations are simply ignored, and most NDAs are secret to begin with. In general, the NDA-spamming companies have more money than GPL-defending groups, so from that perspective a real-life consequence could be that the company has to spend money on legal either way, and might simply pick the cheapest route. In some cases (Linksys for example), making a small modification and then releasing everything that wasn't encumbered was enough to solve both issues.

In general, breaking an NDA is far more costly than violating the GPL, even if it were enforced like NDAs are.
It could be argued that not being able to boot alternate software, which might be necessary to diagnose the hardware, goes against the right to repair.
That just adds one more cost to doing business. And a potentially expensive one if it goes to litigation.

Money for work is simple and easy for both sides.
The one I've seen before does the following:

Meanwhile, a tickers is running. If a tick takes too long, it interprets that as the debugger having been called.

The biggest difference with the existing site generators and CMSs is that they are isolated deployments and each blog is completely independent. This makes it hard to gain audience.

AFAIK, there's no platform that enables this.
