I’ve yet to give VSCode a fair shake. I used IntelliJ a lot back in the day.

IntelliJ is special. Last I had seen they employ their own language tooling for almost everything.
Nowadays the CLI (TUI) experience is capable of a LOT. CLI editors have fantastic integration with languages via LSP. You end up with similarly fat but more modular tooling. They offer a modularity and options that give you more choice in building the experience you want. (Not just color schemes and layouts)

You have to do more work to configure and learn your tools but it makes so much more personalization of workflow possible.

My personal CLI tooling for git is really nice and hacking on it keeps teaching me more about git creating a flywheel of optimization and joy from using things I made.

There is a cost to changing your personal workflow. As nice as some new and shiny things appear I don’t like flip flopping on my personal/professional setup. There comes a time when you start fresh. That will be when I try something different.
The global population of Earth has pretty much doubled since July 1968 when the experiment was run. Evidently the fears of overpopulation they had were unfounded.

Reeks.

But yeah, that's what a lot of other Codes of Conduct feel like. (And the discussions about them.)
It's smart tech, sure, but nothing that hadn't already been done. It's basically a scaled down space shuttle, and the Buran shuttle had autonomous landing capability decades ago.

The main capability this provides is significant on-orbit manoeuvre. It's easy to see how that could be useful for military missions, over-flying specific sites and sidling up alongside interesting Russian or Chinese spy sats, but less useful for civilian applications.
But that's just wrong and you'll misunderstand offers if you compare them that way.

Your coffee shop also won't accept the cash in your bank account. You have to transfer it to them somehow. There's very little different between that and selling shares, followed by a payment.
Why do you consider yourself or the cashier to be in position to deny the man his lawful right to be stupid?
The French fought hard. The problem was twofold:

1. The German army in 1940 was utterly unstoppable. They didn't just conquer France, they conquered half of Europe. The French army was seen as the best army in the world at the time, but they were utterly unprepared for the new way of warfare the Germans introduced.

2. Petain.
This looks like it is derived from their fantastic book "The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul" https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/evolution-sensitive-soul That book is a more thorough dive into understanding how the mechanisms of consciousness could have been pieced together in evolutionary time. The authors do not have a computational backround, which makes their Unlimited Associative Learning (UAL) framework a bit too much of a black-box model. That said, the book is thoughtful, balanced and scholarly -- and beautifully written. And, it is also not bogged down by the obdurate and unreasonable certainty one often sees with other grand theories of consciousness (which are almost always underwhelming). They even call this out in Sensitive Soul:

"... The claims about consciousness that are being made today, at the beginning of the third millennium, are in some ways less provocative, but they
are by no means less confident. In fact, not just Edelman and Crick, but
each of the prominent neurobiologists whose work we describe in this
chapter believes that he (they are all male) and his group have conceptually
solved the great enigma."

Sensitive Soul is an essential read if you are interested in consciousness. It is one of the few books we give special mention to in our own book, Journey of the Mind (plug! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58085266-journey-of-the-...)

"More recent books that we think are excellent and which also influenced
us heavily include Principles of Neural Design by Peter Sterling and Simon
Laughlin, Evolution of Nervous Systems by Jon Kaas, Thinking in Systems by
Donella Meadows, The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul by Simona Ginsburg and
Eva Jablonka, and Barbara Oakley’s A Mind for Numbers."
Here is a comparison that I'd like to see next: how much time was spent on the following...

- porting the application, making all these benchmarks and writing a blog post

vs

- simply getting a VM with more RAM and more CPUs.

In the conclusion the author goes on to talk about the options "if I get the budget" vs "without throwing more money at the problem". I'd guess that the cost of the day of a Principal Engineer would far surpass the cost of years running a 4CPU server.

Afrikaans is almost readable if you know any germanic languages but English.
I know you reverse engineer electronic devices, but I'd love to see the low-tech side of the Apollo missions. Astronauts had substantial ability to navigate in an old-fashioned way in case of equipment failure. The landing point designator on the Lunar Module window, all these elaborate procedures baked into the sequence like the roll maneuver to visually confirm the trajectory and the landing spot etc. A lot of thought went into that. If I'm not mistaken, they also had a direct need for this during Apollo 13 pre-reentry orientation.

It's sometimes fun to imagine the alternative reality where miniaturization never happened and spaceflight is forced to use low-tech navigation aids - precise clock, periscopes, reticles, slide rules, nomograms. (and communication with the flight control center which does the bulk of the computational work)
How does any welding shop deal with this? Or does it only apply to newcomers and old shops are grandfathered in?
Retrieval based systems can expand the memory, it's just a search engine that selects data to add to the prompt.
Biofuels are a clear dead end.

There is nowhere near enough spare farmland for it to do any good, but it could do unlimited harm.

We need to be returning farmland to forest, jungle, and wetland, instead.
Interesting, I could have sworn when I bought my AsRock Rack X470 server board it was advertised as PCI-E 4.0 but their site quite clearly shows 3.0 checking now.
I still remember how hyped about Meteor me and my team were when it first came out. We built some PoCs and tested some really interesting concepts that were super easy to build in Meteor.

I insisted on staying away from it when building our main service, which had very high data throughput and near realtime requirements. I was very happy about this decision when we had to run away from Mongo due to some atrocious performance issues.

Anyway, some of the concepts and ideas that we prototyped in Meteor, we replicated in our stack (Redis pub/sub + websockets + jQuery) with a lot more work but with zero performance problems. We would have probably not came up with such concepts and ideas without having the chance to build them in Meteor in the first place.
I am in a similar situation to you. I've been lucky to work on a few projects where I've been able to use my skills in applied mathematics—often a bit of statistics or optimisation—but I'd love for my job to have a stronger focus on applied mathematics.
Like everything in stats you have a conditional probability given that I, like most gun owners, am a responsible gun owner.

I have a safe, trigger locks, don't have a history of violence, etc. The small minority who are irresponsible gun owners get slaughtered increasing the numbers for the larger pool.

That partition function in the denominator is key!

So, no. My gun does not endanger my family.

… and to circle back to the original topic: Even though "Video Background Play Fix" is a plain simple page script that doesn't even have any UI nor uses any other special Webextension APIs it still took quite a while for it to be finally whitelisted.
- Webstorm (I switch languages often and I like to use the same keyboard shortcuts to navigate and search functions, types etc. I’d prefer to pay a team to add core features instead of messing around with plugins).

- Excel (I see this as just an advanced calculator. Basic pivot tables and charts).

- SQLite (I start with this and then move to a SQL server if it cannot keep up with write throughput. I use it to “reduce distributed state” so that I can understand everything with just a function stack trace. I often find data modelled in 2nd or 3rd normal form tables beats “how should I nest this data” in a general language as you can use SQL to produce many tabular views from the same scalar values).

- Javascript (Since I read “The good parts” I find JSON and modern JS as a scripting language much more productive than anything else for small or disposable projects. Closures, event loop and async/await built in by default, global distribution in browsers, JIT produces machine code that gets you closer to a compiled language performance than any other dynamic language).

- Typed languages (I used to dislike types because I felt they got in the way and what’s the point? Now I see them as a tool to get extremely fast iteration loops as your editor will tell you if all the things snap together magnetically in less than one second. Great for breaking things apart and reconnecting them. I work on many code bases, and all that implicit type data in your head disappears when you leave a dynamic code base for a few weeks. Also having a spec for messages your server sends and receives allows you to auto generate docs).

- Sublime (so snappy to start I use it as a general scratch pad).

- Regular expressions (sometimes there is no substitute. I like that there is a little string matching machine and notation that is the same in every language, and that you can rapidly iterate outside of the code base in a web editor then paste it into the program).

- Preview (extremely fast to open and zoom into vector based graphics like PDFs).

- PDF’s (in a world where every app that reads and writes doc-like-data wants to lock you in, being able to export to PDF will at least allow you to read your content without the app far into the future. Spotlight on macOS will index the text allowing for search).

- Pen and paper (just being able to see your thoughts and then refining them or finding new branches of thought is a huge improvement over trying to keep everything in your mind. The computer is often too distracting for this).

Methanol is a poor choice for storing energy. It needs carbon from somewhere.

Ammonia and hydrogen will be practical: ammonia stored at low pressure, and hydrogen underground.
In addition, if you're a foreign intelligence agency, it would probably not be that hard to create a shell company and just purchase a regular subscription.

Paywalls keep out all kinds of people, but I find it hard to believe they keep out foreign agents.
IIUC this is easy.
The way I get around that is by opening multiple workspaces so I can alt-backtick between them. At least on my setup the ideavim copy buffers are shared between workspaces so I can easily yank from one and paste in the other.

It requires a bit of memory though as IJ just works better if you give it a lot of memory. Not really a problem for me as my dev machines have at least 32 or 64G and besides IJ, firefox and a terminal I don't have much open.
I haven't the time to do the math, but I'd hazard a guess this is to do with several factors:

- Density of public toilets.

- Perspective of homeless people as more dangerous/violent in SF compared to NY or London. Resulting in them not being allowed to use coffee-shop, station, library toilets.

- Problem is too large to police in SF thus passed a critical mass where it can't be policied.
I'm fine with little UI tweaks. I'm not a fan of how the UI is becoming "flatter" with every release, and I wish they had toggles for some of the more questionable features (like those recipient bubbles which can't be easily edited, or the absolutely inane treatment of TO/CC/BCC).

Unfortunately I don't, it should be however easy to start by cloning and running meteor (npm i -g meteor, to install) in the directory. At least that was the case 2 years ago, not sure if it's still working.
Is there a language home page?
Childcare + car-centric urban planning robbed their safe space for play and socializing:
Childcare is unreliable, very expensive, patchy, and time-consuming to sort out.
School starts at 9am and finishes at 3pm. This is incompatible with working hours.
Also, tt would help parents who WFH if kids could play outside (like I used to when I was a kid). They can't because car-centric street designs took their space.
Children are an after-thought whose needs don't fit into modern society.
A number of important ecosystems are now much closer to collapse than they were in the seventies. I don't think that we can say that fears of overpopulation were unfounded. The evidence is quite clear that we consume a large number of resources much faster than they replenish.
The (famous) experiment seems to prove that mice are happy with the benefits of relatively high levels of social organization until the burdens of close quarter living and constant company drain them of their will to live and their ability to thrive. It amounts to a pretty strong argument for American style independence and personal liberty. The implication, I think, was that it was supposed to also endorse the laissez-faire economic system undergirding those things, even if only as a necessary evil. As a mammal who hates confined spaces, I can mostly get on board with that.
> "not all work fully, so the whitelist has a purpose"

Fennec only supported a limited (perhaps slightly larger than what is currently supported) subset of the Webextension API, too, and yet there were no artificial restrictions on add-on installation.
I think post-covid behavior problems are also big. Being locked down for two years was not good for kids. I think it’s possible to address these issues kids are facing while also avoiding the political land mines adults argue over.
Looking through 70s lego sets there is a ton of greens and grays. Not a lot of 'violent' stuff, as it's mainly models of houses and transport vehicles. But it seems to come along with the minifigs in 78.
It won't be just a text and image generation model, the train ride doesn't stop. They are also learning how to act.

Soon the GPT's will learn video, which includes the video itself, the audio and the subtitles. There are billions of hours of video content on YouTube, this new modality will make it easier to learn the procedural knowledge (how we do things) that is not apparent in text or static images. The new GPT will be able to play games, use computers, control robots and do all sorts of reinforcement learning tasks. There are already a few papers, for ex: learning MineCraft from YT videos (https://openai.com/blog/vpt/).

Of course they will also generate long format videos. The problem with video is cost, it's very expensive.
It's great but it's an entirely different beast, being both lossless and designed to be fast and minimal above everything else. It works by minimizing the overhead of encoding deltas and run-lengths.
Nuclear only ever looks cheap if you hide costs -- decommissioning cost, disaster insurance cost, fuel disposal cost. And, its acknowledged operating cost is high. Concentrated solar thermal is cheaper; the failed projects had misdirected their efforts to electric generation.
The big advantage of using code blocks is that is guarantees that their sanitizer doesn't mess with the contents. This is a pretty big plus.

Also, you can of course still have mermaid code blocks; just don't put `mermaid` after the three backticks. The code block won't have any syntax highlighting, but in the case of `math`, this wouldn't make sense anyway.
Unless you consider that episodes of individual psychosis seem to have risen exponentially every decade since then..
That's part of it, but he's also arguing for this kind of weird passivity towards the way we live which is signposted in the title ('this is water' with the story being framed by two fish). Like, a lot of people get angry while driving because driving in congested traffic really sucks - it'd be better if that mundane experience was dramatically reduced rather than have everyone think that the experience is the water we swim in, rather than a set of deliberate decisions that weren't really ever made with our happiness in mind.

ELectronics is not the problem. Its a symptom of kids not being able to play outside (If streets were filled with kids like they used to in the old days, do you think your child would prefer the ipad?)

Forget children's stories. Let's see religious texts!

>> Why do you think that the genocide is so heavily denied by modern Turkey ( Ataturk and onwards)?

Because, we didn't do it. Generally speaking genocides or ethnic cleaning is definitely not in Turkish culture. I think that during those times, Ottoman was weak and Armenians wanted to have their own state like all others did (Greece, Bulgaria, Balkans, North Africa, etc..). Blood was shed and they lost.

>>Because at first glance, modern Turkey fought long and hard to distance itself from the Ottoman Empire, and make it well known thet aren't a successor state.

well, I'm not sure about this but, If I were Ataturk, I would probably build a secular Ottoman state like Ottoman v2. I personally think modern turkey is not a good idea. It is because Anatolia landscape has a lot of cultures/minor ethnicities/religions. If you build a nation state heavily dominated by Sunni Turks, it doesn't sound like a good idea. I think Ataturk went with this idea because, everybody was having their own nation state at that time. He needed to go with Turks, because they were the ones with great population and they were the ones fought like a real men.
I'm quite happy, for now, with I/O performance on my home devices; several Gigabytes per second is ok for the things I'm doing in 2022.

What I'd really like to see is network equipment catching up, because I remember a few short years ago it was hit or miss if your new WiFi router would be gigabit and then it's just stayed there while we've pushed into 4K HDR streaming and game downloads over 100GB.

I'd like to see home networks hit 10GbE+ in the mainstream so I can actually start throwing around the type of data I'm consuming; with my ISP being 1Gb/1Gb (symmetric), it's no faster to dig a file out of my storage server than to just download it again.
> Are you criticizing Lego for producing what sells?

There is demand for all sorts of things the society in general considers harmful.

If one chooses to offer it anyway, be prepared for the criticism.
A lot of my friends used emacs back at Sun. Modern IDEs really improved since then and I haven't seen a feature that emacs can do that they can't.

Yes a JetBrains IDEs will take longer to build the AST model in RAM but once you have it they do amazing things with it. E.g semantic search and replace, etc. The debugger capabilities are spectacular, they literally show the values of variables on the side of the line you stepped over. Another cool thing, inferred types just show next to the variable definition, parameter names appear in the method call, etc. These are small things that add up to a lot on the day to day.

About projects. JetBrains do create project files but don't require a project structure in newer versions of their IDEs.

The problem is that IDEs are very simple to pick up and people stop after that basic usage. They have depth that exceeds emacs in some respects.
I’m literally working at automated finance and we are offloading these cases to client support, and late/next day status requests for b2b peers. The only devops-level technicality there is an in-process keep-alive system which prevents overwhelming the support repeatedly. What you’re describing tries to deal with these issues at the level where it is hard, and it is, but that’s exactly the road to complexity and infra costs (and infra issues as well). As a result, it trades simple client issues for hard technical ones, and you still need support. It’s cool to have an ideal incident-free system, but only when you can cover its costs - and more importantly its evolution barriers - by exactly that quality. Iow, don’t replace humans with machines either until machines learn to wipe their own ass, or until it’s just too much ass to manage efficiently anyway.

I’d fight at your side few years ago, but since starting to work in this field and asking around I realized nobody cares about that ideal way, cause it’s so expensive and hard to maintain, and the cost of change is prohibitive. It even left few scars on my mental health, exactly because I was too anxious to go this way after rotating in environments where devops is praised as something inevitable to survive. If you squint at us at the right angle you still can see devops, but I think we are just expressing two opposite sets of ideas, each applicable in its own type of a business env. You may still call that a hobby-level, and I’d even agree (cause it essentially is) if that hobby didn’t bring as much as to sustain and profit the company at the levels many companies would wish they were at. If it works and brings revenue who cares how it’s categorized.
So the part I objected to was not actually relevant for your argument.
One ? not. Only the rest :)
I wouldn’t say they’re unfounded, humans just evolve more quickly to adapt through technology, giving access to previously inhabitable places. There’s still a lot of these left though overall quality of life would get worse in terms of living space and better in other areas like medicine.
Fair enough. I'm not saying they were necessarily unique. And they did do a good job of doing horrible things to much of the talent that got to the top.
"Modern" IDEs suck. They are not meant to be _fully_ controlled by the keyboard, have delays, cluttered UIs and interrupt your workflow with popups. That's why I prefer Neovim.

There are still loads of things that used to work before the rewrite and now don't, plus a number of bugs introduced during the rewrite, and progress in that area is positively glacial.
VISA has 2000 rps for all payment stuff. So it is what it is :)
There's a significant momentum behind CXL [1]. Samsung already announced a CXL DRAM module [2]. From where I sit, it's all but inevitable that this technology will get broader adoption, at least with large CSPs. Its benefits are just too good to pass up. The extra latency is estimated to be no worse than a NUMA hop [3]. Many companies are already figuring out how to best deal with the more complex memory topologies that CXL will enable [4, 5].

But I'm biased (I work for Intel), so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Importantly, this only applies to the subsets of financial media that traders pay money for. Bloomberg's free news is garbage opinion pieces, but the stuff you pay (a lot) for is generally decent.
