Not only that, but even in first world countries (ie.: countries that have a good universal/public healthcare system), the dollar value of a statistical human life matters as well. There are waiting lists where you have to decide a priority rank of who gets the organ first, or who gets scheduled in on Monday for their surgery vs who has to wait, etc. Nobody likes that it has to be this way, and nobody wants to be the person that decides (in reality, it's often an ethics committee and there are rules and guidelines to follow), but that's how it has to be.

The money used to save and extend lives has to be taken from somewhere, and it's taken from the money that represents a fraction of the population's labour one way or another (it's a bit more complicated than that, especially when you consider monetary policy, and non-labour sources of income, but the general idea stands).

If you don't put a dollar value on it, then you're going to be making a lot of subjective decisions based on how you feel resources should be allocated: you're going to be taking from some people and giving to others, based on a gut feeling rather than a system. Your gut feeling might be the right one from time to time, but chances are it won't be self-consistent, and will be very biased.
Hilariously they haven't always applied the defences they're promoting - in the "Scroll chaining" example the page will scroll if you over-scroll the example
It's not exposed in the UI, but if you really care, you can just create yourself a configuration profile that disables various per-app permissions (including network access, per-domain/per-IP/per-certificate) on a fairly fine-grained basis. MDM yourself.
Yes, but did he buy her a horse?
Awesome site. For those looking for a summary:

In the early days of the web, pages were made primarily by hobbyists, academics, and computer savvy people about subjects they were personally interested in. Later on, the web became saturated with commercial pages that overcrowded everything else. All the personalized websites are hidden among a pile of commercial pages. Google isn't great at finding them, its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens. In addition, many pages today are created using bloated scripts that add slick cosmetic features in order to mask the lack of content available on them. Those pages contribute to the blandness of today's web.

The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet. In addition, Wiby helps vintage computers to continue browsing the web, as pages indexed are more suitable for their performance.

What? No, not even close.
- no way to use the phone without an account
- no way to install apps from outside the store
- no browsers other than Safari reskins.

These are all fixed by the DMA, but it will take a lot of time for things to mature, however other issues persist

- no way to put apps on the bottom of the screen
- the FOSS scene on IOS basically doesn't exist, while on android there is a whole app store for it(https://f-droid.org) this is a big point for me.
- no way to duplicate apps
- no separate work profile
- limited file mangament
- no notification chat bubbles(a pretty good feature on android 11/10?+
- no advanced apps like local terminal emulators, virtual firewalls or virtual tracker blockers(partially because the FOSS community rightly doesn't care about iOS)
- non encrypted iCloud backups(basically a backdoor into WhatsApp) or any important file medium
- CSAM Scanning inbound

And many other issues, iOS is hardly making Android hard to choose, its still locked down prison, its just a bit nicer inside now.

Since I value my privacy and like FOSS iOS is even more useless for me.
NATO’s Arctic ‘Achilles’ Heel’
> there's little coherence to the way the language has grown in the last decade.

IMHO it's been incoherent from the earliest times.

The lame exceptions without 'finally', and no consistency in exception types. Then the desperate attempts to make all resources into objects, except that practically no OS calls bothered with this.

The overloading of the shift operators in the standard library. Indeed, operator overloading itself is just a recipe for abuse. You read 'a=b+c' and you literally have no clue what that means.

Multiple inheritance with the brittle semantics.

The awful STL, with its multi-kB error messages (the allocator of the trait of the string of the tree of map of king Caractacus doesn't match ...)

There's no wonder the 'obfuscated C competition' never happened with C++ given the fact it's unreadable, right out of the box.
Doesn't appear to work in Safari at all (at least, for me here - some JS bundle error).
An organization built out of pure prestige, with no concept of monetary profit, has zero pressure to stop employing their classmates as translators, ever.
On the flip side, it seems people have become somewhat entitled by Walmart’s “we’ll take anything back”. Such as trying to return unused generators to local retailers after the hurricane has passed.
So 100% yes, AWS has much more power in the value chain than Ford. But not really.

Especially to the extent that special services are not leveraged, then there are cheaper alternatives. A lot of IT is just 'instances' not 'fancy cloud queues'.

AWS pricing is very transparent and people can make the decisions they want. Generally speaking, AWS does not price discriminate on the basis of 'business model' and their margins are meaningless with respect to the overall business efforts of a Big Co.

I mean - unless you are doing big AI crunching, or 'free hosting content' - then frankly the AWS bill is not going to be a huge line item relative to overall operating costs.

Despair may be a late onset symptom, but on the whole it's joyous

I searched the walrus operator and all results were unrelated
I've done this two ways:

(1) Tile the world in lat/lng. For each tile, turn it into a NxN grid of lat/lngs within the bounds of the tile. Convert each lat/lng/height (where height comes from your DEM) into ECEF XYZ. Texture map imagery onto this mesh.

This works well for a true "globe" but there is plenty of complexity in which tiles and in what detail to load, how well they stitch together (seams), etc.

(2) For the SPS2022 case, I went way simpler. The tile scheme is web mercator (just a plane), where I precalculate which tiles are going into the scene (no loading/unloading logic necessary). Each tile still has a lattice of points, but I simply set the z-value to the height (corrected for Mercator distortion). Then I put part of a sphere over this plane for the atmosphere.

In either case, you will need to be careful about precision issues because ECEF and web mercator coordinates don't really fit in 32-bit floats, although it's close enough if you aren't zooming in too far. You can kind of work around this in three.js by careful usage of the position property of your meshes. Those matrixes get combined in three.js in javascript with doubles.

Just make sure to pick a flight that is ferrying pilots/flight attendants around so they can operate other flights. Those are probably the last ones that will get cancelled.
I like Wayland, but I avoid using it because (last I checked) a crashing or killed compositor takes the whole desktop down with it. Meanwhile, under X I can restart Gnome Shell (or equivalent) if it's having trouble due to a memory leak or the like. Crashes and memory leaks have been common enough that I don't want to risk losing work to them just for some minor benefits.

This isn't an intrinsic problem with Wayland—I'm just not aware of anyone making a compositor that can recover or restart yet. I'll be excited to try out any that people write.
Basically what one needs is a db that treats excel as a basic unit of computing.

The warranty is really worth considering. I recently had to get a repair on an 18 month old laptop, and even though it was out of Apple warranty, the repair was free under consumer protection laws, and would not have been had I bought it in the US.

I'm honestly not sure why you would ever pay for an extended warranty in Germany.
I guess it's just a habit even if I think it's mildly confusing too.

But: it's kind of a virtue that the most important error message comes last. Far too many (ahead of time) compilers output too many errors. The most likely error to matter is the first one, but it is often scrolled way off screen; the following errors might even just be side effects that mislead or confuse the new users.
Sounds like a $4M house instead.
I wish they did a 15” air.
I almost went down that road once, and got very good advice similar to the first couple of steps (plan, do your homework) in the original post here: "before you start making implementation choices to try to force certain things, try to really understand the architecture you want and why you want it, and ask yourself if it's a technological problem you're hitting or just a system design one"
Are you asking why not have sex with your subordinate? A whole slew of moral and legal reasons, for one.
There's a stark difference between waist size and foot size. There's not a lot you can do to change the size of your feet, but diet and exercise affect your waist.

I used to wear a 36 or 38 waist pants. I've managed to get that down to a 30, but I'm back up to a 32. I've also been buying Levi's jeans with some elastic in them, so maybe I've gone back up more, but I'm willing to lie to myself and say I'm still a 32.
Axie was always a pyramid scheme, not an actually enjoyable game. Being able to write off $540 million in crypto loss and ALSO keep the coin? Sounds like a pretty neat way to end a scheme.
What version are you using?
Awesome stuff. It seems like a C+ instead of C++ to me.

I wish it has class/object/ctor/dtor/RAII though, no need for exception. OOD in C using struct and function pointers are doable but is a bit cumbersome. I don't even need runtime overloading or virtual inheritance or any fancy/advanced features of c++, just a better way to organize code in an OOD style is enough, something like Javascript's class sugar syntax to its prototype object syntax(here will be c++ style to struct+function-pointer-style).
I loved that era and it was great, but it didn’t handle resizing to fit different screen sizes well at all.

I’m still holding out for a similar interface builder that can handle responsive design.
Yeah, but in that sense, it hasn't replaced StumbleUpon as a way of discovering websites, as the only website you're discovering is Reddit.

It's “not even” using for nesting in list comprehensions. This kind of thing:

[x for stop in range(5) for x in range(stop)]
hold on, if we have half a dozen web apps that serve different needs, but all share similar "guts" — a monolith doesn't really make sense because App B will have all the code of App A but only use like 10% of it...

So if I split App A from App B (and App C, D, etc.), but create a single "back-end monolith" for both apps, that makes sense right? Is that still microservices?

And if half of them need authentication, but I want to keep my auth data separate from my other backend data, shouldn't I create a "regular db backend" and an "auth backend", for my many web apps?

Essentially this is what I've done. I don't start with "microservices" but at the same time I don't want to glom ALL my random sites and apps' front-end and back-ends into the same code base... that makes upkeep WAY too difficult.

Is this a monolith, a microservices, or none of those? I'm not really a "real" engineer and haven't drank any koolaid so I honestly don't know if this is the right way to do it. Most of my sites and web apps are Sveltekit / Vercel, with CF Workers, Supabase, Deta, and Railway doing some other stuff Vercel can't do.

(I don't have a hosted machine or anything lol)
> If they still work remotely like they did back under Jobs the hardware teams are not the guys calling the shots for future product cycles.

Good of Stellanis to buy/own all of the companies that my Dad told me not to buy cars from :D
As the first dorm on the loop my freshman year, I’d get back from crew practice, go into the bathroom, turn on all three showers, and flush the three toilets about three times each to flush all of the hot water out of the cold water line so that I wouldn’t burn myself when taking a shower.

I never heard if anyone got hurt when I took a day off and slept in.
True, but that’s just one of several reasons I’m reluctant to share work and personal activity on a single computer. I certainly wouldn’t conduct a job search on a work computer.
tl/dr: Now your words can be misconstrued by far more people than before, because AIs will translate the misunderstandings into as many languages as possible.
Dividing areas amongst teams is only a theoretical benefit if you haven't solved the factoring problem. Otherwise teams are still going to be cross-dependent on other teams constantly.

But if you've solved the factoring problem, your team and another team can happily work next to each other in the same codebase with less back-and-forth anyway. And the question reduces largely to if you deploy it all at once or not. Sometimes all at once is much easier anyway.

I've seen microservices used by management as a way to force engineering into factoring their shit correctly far more often than I've seen it done because things were already factored well (because cross-team coordination in different services is much harder than just jumping around in the monolith's single repo in a single PR). It's an easy lever for management to pull, too, because most devs don't see it as something they're being forced to do, they think they're getting their wish at rewriting and modernizing things. ;)
You aren't merely "disagreeable" as you exhibit yet again. Feeding trolls is also against guidelines.

Yes! I have no doubt this is exactly what’s happening.

This is overblown hyperbole, it disables a few features a lot of people have never even heard of.

Disabling the JIT compiler makes the browser a bit slower. It does not cripple it.

Disabling profiles, debugging and MDM? These are not useful unless you’re in ‘enterprise’ or a developer.

Can’t send documents or links through iMessage? Use another service or copy and paste the links you actually want to open.

Really a tiny price to pay for the added security.
Here in Japan you can get a free 20K JPY in your cashless payment method of choice, pretty much just by registering your details. Most people aren't bothering.
I imagine on the torrent sites there's a demand for book covers you can print yourself.

Great for you I suppose?

I have a phone with a punch out camera. Usually I don't even think about it, but when it obscures the things what should be in that place on the screen...
Usually when the layout breaks, functionality is lost: buttons can't be clicked on, text can't be read, content is obscured to the right, etc. If none of these things are happening, I'd agree not clipping is fine.
It doesn't have enough ports and locks you down with daisy chaining. I agree thinness is a "symbol", but it offers next to nothing advantage to get work done. It's much like an overpriced car in your garage and for virtue signalling.
What was your query? I just searched (https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=walrus+operator) and got "The walrus operator is a new syntax for assigning variables in the middle of expressions." with one of the code examples being "(walrus := True)"
It’s why it’s so important to taint and mix the history of all coins. Given enough time, eventually all UTXOs are tainted, thus nothing is tainted. Most of the supply of BTC can be linked to SR taint from early 2010s. Doesn’t matter now.

Litecoin just introduced a sidechain called (mimblewimble extension blocks) MWEB, it permits “cut-through” transactions where UTXOs can mix. It looks like a single UTXO on the main chain. Very Fungible!
I’m 5’10” and 150lb - weight loss isn’t the issue. Body composition and gaining muscle mass is all I need to do. (I mean - gain a few inches of height would be nice but I’m not willing to go that far) Surgery would help with facial issues. (I’m okay but not good)

The rest being figuring out an image that sells well to modern high earning women is what I’d need help with. My image currently definitely isn’t pulling them out of the woodwork to find me.
That ... actually seems reasonable?

> The Unix philosophy has very little to do with desktop fragmentation and everything to do with the fact that unlike macos and windows: it's not that commercial an endeavor. A common employer is a main reason many work on someone else's ideas when they can just work on their own ideas.

It is part of the in-fighting, which contributes to the whole desktop fragmentation issues, distro forks and chaos around it and its frankly an unsolvable disaster.

The whole debating between system components such as systemd vs init.d, X11 vs Wayland, Pulseaudio vs Portaudio vs Pipewire have further contributed to the alternatives of alternatives desktop fragmentation and it is a tug of war between UNIX philosophy greybeards and other devs attempting to solve the fragmentation for years. Due to this failure of consensus: No app developer can 'define Linux support' and cater to all desktop Linux users 100% of the time, unlike Windows, and macOS.

> See: ChromeOS. Investment can solve these problems.

Only for Google. They already have learned from the mistakes of these distros and are going to replace it with Fuchsia. ChromeOS is still a mostly closed-source system despite using a Linux kernel, just exactly like Android still is, which isn't the same thing as the chaos you see in many open-source full Linux distros.

> Similarly, Fuchsia is a much bigger effort about the future of operating systems and not about just desktop environment quirkiness. Again, they have ChromeOS for that.

Hence why Google is replacing ChromeOS with Fuchsia, which includes and avoids all of the above.
> We found that GPT-3, GPT-Neo/J/X, and similar autoregressive language models that predict text from left to right are prone to “hallucinating” and generating text inconsistent with the “ground truth” document.

The term hallucinating is brilliant for how these AI systems seem to generate output.

Your product is very interesting, seems to work nicely on easy queries "how do I sort an array of objects in JavaScript". But was quite confusing for complex queries.

The UI doesn't work too well on mobile, but it's a beta and software is written on the desktop.

I also think making this a specific search engine for companies internal messy data would be a very useful tool as well.
Being inept at using a gun does not make you immune from getting shot by one. It's a cop out because you should not need to have gun proficiency in order to have a valid opinion on guns. Similarly, owning a gun does not make your opinion on gun control more valid.
This comment is wrong on many levels. Hot water heaters should last a lot longer, and when they fail it’s probably a faulty thermostat or short. Still, water heaters get a drain pan to catch leaks. Lastly, installing a leak detectors are trivial and common. Your condo may have been a bad install or not installed to code.

America moves hot water just fine.

EDIT: yes water heaters can fail. Usually due to bad install, people store stuff on the pipes or on top of the unit treating the mechanical closet like a utility storage closet for brooms vacuum ironing board stuffed in, or subjected to a freeze. Nothing wrong with the device itself, everything to do with improper install or maintenance.
I really wish we had details here too, but someone made a good point:

"Hey, you need a PDF viewer with scripts enabled for the digital signing.. can you install Adobe XXX?" would be a good line to get the mark to use a less-than-secure PDF viewer.

But also, since it was the North Korea hacking group, I'm not ruling out a 0-day... hopefully more details will come at some point.
For 1 - this is spot on. There are tools to dump PDF text, but they are quite flawed because you don't know how the text is laid out. In many cases the text can come out quite jumbled, for example if there are columns of text. Therefore, for OCR it's better to convert the PDF to an image and let OCR handle it. Google's OCR for example will understand and output columns properly.
It was not focusing on finding a similarly earning partner as to why I’m divorced now. Emotionally - I’m a catch. My ex wife and most women agree. Physically - I just don’t match with what most women want these days.

> I really, really wish windows and mac had a similar behavior to just route all *.localhost queries to localhost.

I'm happy they don't: DNS queries should be routed to whatever I have in /etc/resolv.conf.

If I have a Pi-Hole or use 8.8.8.8, then *.localhost stuff should not be injected in some clever fashion.

If you happen to use 127.0.0.53 (or whatever) on Linux and 'magic' happens, that's on you. But the system should fiddle with things othwerise.
