FreePascal has the same issue with the warning in divide2 and it also has a noreturn attribute. So can you be tempted to add the attribute and it get rids of the warning. But it is wrong.

In FreePascal noreturn means that the function does not return, i.e. the execution does not leave the scope. An exception would leave the function, so it is not allowed.

Noreturn functions can only have an infinite loop or kill the process
She was not what she claimed to be, if you're surprised that lying to people isn't OK then I've got really terrible news for you. Anna created numerous fake documents purporting to show she actually had lots of money in foreign banks (she did not) and there was a family trust that could access the money on her behalf (no such thing existed) and so she'd tell people it's OK, my trust will pay you back - knowing she's just taking services she hasn't paid for and has no intent to ever pay for.

In most jurisdictions Fraud requires two things: Dishonesty and intention thereby to gain or that another loses. For most people it's thus really easy to avoid committing fraud - be honest. If you don't like honesty you need to ensure you never have intention for you to gain or another to lose, which is going to be a really steep climb in many circumstances given we live under capitalism.
I worked on one team that had a one week planning period every two weeks. The planning week, for us regular devs, was “do whatever you want” and it was epic. There were basically no bugs because a few of us liked tackling bugs for fun. Other people worked on optimization problems and code hygiene.

For the people doing planning, they were always busy playing ticket shuffle, asking random devs random questions all the time. But those two weeks was cray and anything not done by the end of the sprint had to be done by the end of the planning period, and you better have a good reason.
Double represents values smaller than 10^-300. 10^-22 is no problem, so long as you don’t need more than about 16 digits after the first non-zero.

Probably the Map() class actually takes a series of nodes, that could either be comment or a key/value pair (and validates that you don't have duplicate keys). tomlkit does something similar.

It sounds like a problem with the policy, not the tool. Pre-commit hooks is a useful tool but there should be a way to skip them if you really need it.

Per-commit hooks save my time by not allowing to push code which guaranteed to break later in CI.
Since childhood I have been waiting for vinyl turntables that use a laser instead of a needle to 'play' records, without any wear and tear. This may be the breakthrough.
Kind of, Windows 11 WinRT components are still based on UWP, as WinUI 3.0 and WinAppSDK aren't yet up to the job of replacing it.

WinRT hasn't died, that is what WinUI 3.0/WinAppSDK is all about, making that COM infrastructure available on the Win32 side, even though their progress is quite slow.

I think it will take them 2 years still to reach feature parity with UWP features.
That description sounds like a failure of C-Level at Company-A to do tgeir due diligence and properly allocate resources & schedule.

The argument saying we don’t need more than N pi decimals because we could compute the radius of the universe down to an hydrogen atom is indeed not very convincing.

My daughter and I just tried. Had a package that said you can flush them. Tried to dissolve them in the sink. Not possible. Which come out of course, makes sense: The very reason for these things to exist is that they don’t fall apart when wet.
EU legislation applied in the UK until the end of 2020. The UK's withdrawal agreement was finalized in January 2020, and there was a transition period until the end of the year where all EU legislation still applied.

Possibly, but I have had Oxy prescribed and wasn't an immediate junkie. It worked for my pain is as much that I would pass out soon after taking one. This would have been in the 2008/2009 period, and my doctor was very careful with dosage.

Also note, I hated the way I felt while taking them.

Their numbers seem reasonable.

As an anecdote, I've worked at a scale up that handled ~20M HTTP(S) req/min on their service mesh.

The rule of thumb was that our Redis cache layer would have 10x the number of HTTP request, so 200M req/min.

Note that I'm using minutes, not seconds on the units. But it wouldn't surprise me that Pinterest handles 60x the load that we had back then.
The origin of the name was due to a mistake of Steven Weinberg:

"In his recent book, The Infinity Puzzle (Basic Books, 2011), Frank Close points out that a mistake of mine was in part responsible for the term “Higgs boson.” In my 1967 paper on the unification of weak and electromagnetic forces, I cited 1964 work by Peter Higgs and two other sets of theorists. This was because they had all explored the mathematics of symmetry-breaking in general theories with force-carrying particles, though they did not apply it to weak and electromagnetic forces. As known since 1961, a typical consequence of theories of symmetry-breaking is the appearance of new particles, as a sort of debris. A specific particle of this general class was predicted in my 1967 paper; this is the Higgs boson now being sought at the LHC.

As to my responsibility for the name “Higgs boson,” because of a mistake in reading the dates on these three earlier papers, I thought that the earliest was the one by Higgs, so in my 1967 paper I cited Higgs first, and have done so since then. Other physicists apparently have followed my lead. But as Close points out, the earliest paper of the three I cited was actually the one by Robert Brout and François Englert. In extenuation of my mistake, I should note that Higgs and Brout and Englert did their work independently and at about the same time, as also did the third group (Gerald Guralnik, C.R. Hagen, and Tom Kibble). But the name “Higgs boson” seems to have stuck."

I like the idea! Definitely faced this problem. I've ended up using a variety of different tools before. I've found Canva generally serves my purpose - what's the main value add here over a more general tool like Canva?
Do you have any link explaining this reasoning? It does seem weird to me because not handling camera specific color management seem contradictory to a good experience. Raw files are actually not in any way "neutral" or standard, they are pretty specific to the camera and brand depending on how they calibrated their censor and other considerations such as potential treatments etc.

Not handling that at the software level and leaving it to the user means that you would have to do a repetitive and complex work for every single picture when other softwares give you a "neutral" basis (even though any attempt at neutrality is always limited. True neutrality could not display the image with RBG at all...) to work from based on calibrated color profiles for the cameras (some are better at giving you a good basis than others of course).

This would seem like a weird choice as anyways you have to do a bunch of conversion, so not using camera profile just means the conversion is less faithful.
Only if their code for the certification is fully available upstream.
Haha yeah, this would be funny were it not so sad.

- accountability: bureaucracies allow people to hind behind process and anonymity to shirk basically all responsibility.

- fairness: bureaucratic systems are usually designed with a particular type of person in mind and if you don't fit that mold, it will be hard to accomplish anything.

- throughput and latency: I don't even have to write anything here.

- longevity: this is something bureaucracies are actually good at -- propagating themselves.

- user friendliness: yeaah.
What are some good alternatives to Duolingo with fewer dark patterns? (And don't suggest traditional methods, I am very much not against them, I am just curious about apps and such.)
I wonder what the response was. I know they removed the devices, but not detailed us whether they did anything to mess up the listening stations, muddy the waters, that sort of thing. But then it could be, of itself, not responding was a response enough.

Also hate those.

What I do instead is have the tests run as part of the build. If the tests fail, the build fails.

Definitely a good motivator for having fast tests, which is essential. The ones for my projects tend to run in about a second or two.

Also gives you way greater confidence in your tests.

I have serious issues moving to the Netherlands due to this.

Based on this article, I’d be at the top end of the #2 range.

I easily get offers from the #1 range, but they’re so low it’s pointless. #2 seems to rather hire candidates that are already local.

#3 requires me to do a song and dance that might ultimately be worth it, but sickens me. Maybe I’ll eventually find a #3 that doesn’t require the silly hoop jumps.
It doesn’t matter much if people are willing to pay or not: without a viable method of micro transactions, $5/mo is the next viable tier above free.
I love promoting the fact that RF (13.56 MHz) can directly electrolyze saltwater without electrodes (and without desalination). The process was discovered by an amateur radio technician and it was treated like pseudoscience because of breathless local news coverage that made it sound like it was a fuel source.

The YouTube video (“burning saltwater”) is a classic—but there still isn’t a proper study on the efficiency of the process. (The radio technician, John Kanzius, died of cancer).

https://youtu.be/Tf4gOS8aoFk

Edit: here is a scientific paper characterizing the process, which is pretty interesting. No calculation of efficiency, however. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0963-0252/22/1/01...

Maybe. I'm not a habitual coffee drinker, we buy roasted beans at home/work. It tastes better than Starbucks sludge or vacuum sealed supermarket stuff. Illy was the most decent supermarket brand, but in shops they use beans.
That's interesting. I've never thought of being good at something as helping it become more relevant. But I can see what you mean because then it'll reach more people and such?
A bit of a tangent, but i found the series to be insufferably bad. The story interested me, but the scenario was pretty bad (easily predictable, weird logical jumps being presented as genius ideas) and the acting was pretty meh bar the lead actress (i found her very annoying which seems to be the idea).
Interestingly only the spoken text makes that mistake, the subtitles are correctly stating 30.000 meters.
I worked with SVN and it was just horrible. Merges were horrible. Even resolving conflicts on updates was arduous, error prone and hard. If two people accidentally worked on the same file, both were screwed.
Git was the first thing that made merges feasible. (Not really the first I think, my initial bet was on mercurial, but git was the one that stuck).

Runtime feature flag sounds absolutely repulsive. And to avoid complex merges you can just rebase your feature branch onto current trunk often and either avoid working on two large tasks affecting same area simulatnously or merge or rebase one on the current state of the other when the other is in stable enough state.
What "secret sauce" did the Apple Watch have that made it more compelling than all the previous smartwatches that utterly failed to gain any traction?

Pancake optics and Apple silicon will probably play a key role in Apple's VR product. But Apple often succeeds where others fail through incredible execution, holistic product design, and the trust they've built with consumers.
I don’t feel like the dark patterns are really that dark when used by an education platform. All they are trying to do is encourage practice, which is very important to language learning.
I wonder that Tesla doesn't seem to make use of a national map of roads, to know about one-way streets and turn lanes and so on. It'd be a valuable addition to 'blunder around trying not to hit anything' or whatever their current algorithm is.
This is what makes Svelte so fun and appealing for me. It’s just html with script and style tags… with optional superpowers if/when you need them. And automatically scoped styles, optimized bundles, SSR, and all the DX / UX boosts you could want!
Past performance is no guarantee of future success. Everything discovered until now has been the low hanging fruit. The pattern is that it's only getting harder to discover new secrets of nature. Today it requires decades of education, rare genius, and a massive amount of work and luck.

There will likely come a point at which reaching new discoveries requires more energy, resources, and time than any human(s) can afford.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try, but accept that diminishing returns will kick in at some point. We live on a finite planet as a precarious existence. Learning to first live sustainably is probably a better bet than burning the earth to send few people to another planet for a while.

I like this interpretation. I would be happy if you provide pointers to something written from this perspective.
Back then the big EDA outfits were Mentor Graphics, Daisy, and Valid. ECAD became Cadence, embraced silicon compilers, and ate everybody's lunch.

Back then, chips were still laid out by pasting up prepared logic blocks, gates, and occasional custom transistors, and routing metal traces between them, all on what we would today call a low-resolution workstation monitor. A million transistors was a lot. These would be output via a plotter to make photomasks for the various doping, glass, and and metal layers.

The EDA software of the time, besides supporting manual editing editing of layouts and schematics, would simulate whole chips taking into account capacitance of wires and transistor inputs, propagation delay, and drive capability of output transistors. It would also apply geometric checks to make sure the layout conformed to rules of the target process. Where violated, somebody would need to redraw that bit, which might mean moving stuff out of the way.

Somebody would have to make up sequences of values to feed to inputs, and others to check outputs against.

So the period when MG was buying and shuttering silicon compiler startups was '85 to '89.

I think after Cadence won, Mentor Graphics got more involved in supporting embedded system design and firmware integration, leaving chips to others. Daisy merged with Cadnetix and went bust in 1990, and after twists and turns what was left became part of Mentor Graphics in 1999. Valid was folded into Cadence in 1991.

Cadence tried and failed to buy MG in 2008. MG was finally bought by Siemens AG in 2016.

It’s certainly not easy to start a company posied for world dominance when a lot of local laws and culture prevent you from working your employees to the bone.

The average workweek in the Netherlands is 28 hours a week. You may shift this if you are a startup, but culture is certainly something that affects your propensity to generate unicorns.

I guess my personal issue is that I often doubt my own interests, wondering if it's still worthwhile. Like, sure I enjoy it, but how much do I have to love it to keep going in face of difficulties? I guess it's pretty rhetorical, but it's definitely questions that I struggle with.

No person claiming magical special humanhood is 'what she claimed to be'. That's my point. Say you're a Dutchess if you like; your claim is exactly as valid as anyone else's; which is to say, nonsense.

I applaud her for capitalizing on the public gullibility to believe in devine humans with special rights.
Saying "I don't find the argument the authority gives convincing" is a different statement than "I distrust the authority". And in fact there are many experts, from craftsmanship over engineering even all the way to science that demonstratebly know method to achieve success, but are missing methods to verify their explanatory models or don't really need to care. E.g. for bakeries the microbiological background is often much less relevant than getting the process right.

In the case of this explanation by JPL, they are giving a very dumbed down explanation to visualize the extreme precision of floats to layperson. By necessity it is very incomplete and fails to transmit a deeper understanding to those of us that have an at least passing understanding of numerically analysis. For me that means I want to know more, as there is certainly important nuance missing, and I'd want to know more from the same experts at JPL exactly because I trust their expertise.
I quite like memrise, and it worked much better for me

My boss stopped learning Spanish on Duolingo when he lost his streak. It's a powerful motivator even if it's not a "true streak" due to streak freezes and such. My streak is at 1436 and if I lost it, I wouldn't stop Duolingo because I actually like it to learn, but the streak does make me happier, haha. I think I've had 2 days in the last few years of streak freezes due to 1 day forgetting and 1 day the site not saving my exercise. Ah well, I still like my streak even if it's not 100% pure!
Oh, lovely, thank you. I figured it had to be the theatre and still didn't get it. This hobby regularly makes me feel dumb. :)
What do you mean “safe”?

methanol + oxygen = water + CO2 + energy

Or even better, it's defined as the smallest positive root of the sine function. Much simpler definition.
A) For those that question the apps and are on the fence, consider a traditional methods of language learning, consider a class at a community college. Community college in San Francisco is free for San Francisco residents and they have many language classes! Similar arrangements might be available wherever you currently live, and they're also cheap either way.

B) I travel a lot and I realized that I don't actually want to "learn a language" I want to "be able to communicate in an area". So doing a Duolingo speedrun on the airplane is pretty much useless (or even months before). What you really want to do is know how to buy a girl a drink, for example. In a loud situation this may even involve counting to the bartender, "language learning" apps aren't going to show you how to count on your fingers the local way. It really changes the priorities to what you actually need to use.
Yea and the government made of US citizens. Have you really forgotten about the polarization of the US or are you just going to treat the 300M+ people as one homogeneous group?

What's your point
I agree. When I started using Duolingo, my intention was to do at least one lesson every day.

I'm rather pissed if the daily reminder comes to late. If I don't want to practice daily anymore, I'll simply switch off notifications or uninstall the app.

Bureaucratic processes are about the process and not about single individuals. Such a process is anonymous by definition. It doesn't care about what type of people is involved.

If it happened in 2020 in the US, women in the 99th percentile overall (household net worth over $11 million) would be marrying men in the 55th percentile (99-44) and a net worth of $160,000. Roughly speaking. I'll split the difference with you if it's no big deal.
