If a meeting doesn't have an agenda, then it has no terminating condition, and is therefore an infinite loop until it times out.

Don't go to those meetings.

And more constructively, don't create those meetings.

An agenda takes ~3 minutes to add; there's no excuse for not having one.

E.g. Agenda for this comment: (1) express agreement, (2) clarify what's toxic about agenda-less meetings using computer science analogy, (3) appeal to reader to improve their own behavior, (4) preemptively rebut complaints about suggested behavior. Done.

Seriously! I think there is a good space for the concept of "mid-services" - cluster similar and interdependent services and service fragments together, so they split in logical groups for updating.

It would be sort of like "Module A is authentication and session management, module B is data handling layer, and module 3 is the presentation and processing layer." Each of those under a microservices dogma would be two to four microservices struggling to interoperate.

I read the book written by the dev that advocated for microservices. I wanted to throw it across the room, but it was an ebook. He literally went for over half the book before he even addressed operability. Everything was about developer convenience, not operating it with an eye toward user satisfaction. The guy was clueless.
Yours is nice and readable. Parents' one is not, but it feels like the indentation is deliberately confusing. I'd lay it out like so:

tags = list(set([
nel
for subli in [
mel
for subl in [
[[jel.split('/')[2:] for jel in el]
for el in classified
]
for mel in subl
]
for nel in subli
if nel
]))

Still not very readable, tho. But that's largely due to Python's outputs-first sequence comprehension syntax being a mess that doesn't scale at all.

Side note: one other thing I always hated about those things in Python is that there's no way to bind an intermediary computation to a variable. In C# LINQ, you can do things like:

from x in xs
let y = x.ComputeSomething()
where y.IsFoo && y.IsBar
select y

In Python, you have to either invoke ComputeSomething twice, or hack "for" to work like "let" by wrapping the bound value in a container:

y
for x in xs
for y in [x.ComputeSomething()]
if y.IsFoo and y.IsBar

It's not just about not repeating yourself or not running the same code twice, either - named variables are themselves a form of self-documenting code, and a sequence pipeline using them even where they aren't strictly needed can be much more readable.
> each new CEO came from outside of the company seemingly used it, rebranding, to make the organisation "their own"

This is the hacker equivalent of wanting to do a greenfield refactor of the code base. There's an erroneous assumption all the problems that exist within the current code base will be avoided when rebuilding. These efforts are occasionally successful, but mostly end up being just sound and fury with little measurable results.
The 16 inch Intel MBP was a machine I wanted to love. Big lovely screen, should be fast and capable, I was stoked to get it. But on the occasion where I have to take it off the charger and attend a zoom call, it gives me maybe 90 minutes of battery life, fan going full speed the whole time, trying to melt the desktop.

Fortunately I also have a 13 inch M1 MBP that has no such problem, and is easily my favorite MBP in many years.
Yep, I saw non-programming stuff but my worry is, if they are branding themselves as "better search engine for software developers", that programming-stuff will be weighted higher than non-programming stuff even if the search term has nothing to do with programming (or a tenuous link). Though your search examples seem to prove the exact opposite.

All that said the UI/UX is too frustrating to use (as-in) even if they don't promote programming content over non.

Actually, media is probably the only thing that wouldn't change because there are explicit English and French channels and the French channels probably pay for the translations themselves. I meant for all the signage of products like nutrition labels and product descriptions. It would be like saying "aluminum foil" instead of "aluminium foil" which is literally nothing. Except, these people separated for the explicit reason to product "aluminium foil". Right now, companies redesign their entire packaging for Canada as a whole to include both official languages (as it is a requirement) and the marginal price of doing the Canadian French translation is minuscule. If Quebec separated, I think they would either receive the Canadian version or the French (from France) version. In either case, the only thing they've done is removed themselves from having any influence on their language. The other possibility is I suppose companies would get around to the Quebec version (if required) after Hungary and Israel. I'm not sure separatists understand what that would mean.

Original title: "How hot is too hot for the human body? Our lab found heat + humidity gets dangerous faster than many people realize"

> Scientists and other observers have become alarmed about the increasing frequency of extreme heat paired with high humidity, measured as "wet-bulb temperature" [...] People often point to a study published in 2010 that estimated that a "wet-bulb temperature 35°C" – equal to 35°C (95 F) at 100% humidity, or 45°C (115°F) at 50% humidity, would be the upper limit of safety, beyond which the human body can no longer cool itself by evaporating sweat from the surface of the body to maintain a stable body core temperature

> [A new study gathered] young, healthy [individuals] into the Noll Laboratory at Penn State University [... The] upper environmental limit is even lower than the theorized 35 C[: i]t’s more like a wet-bulb temperature of 31°C [ - t]hat would equal 31°C (88°F) at 100% humidity or 38°C (100°F) at 60% humidity

I had to editorialize a bit the writing around the numeric data, because it was very confusing in the original.

A graphic shows that such "average critical environmental limit for young men and women at minimal activity" at the lowest humidity level is 50°C (120°F)...

..Summing up, roughly 30°C at 100%, 40°C at 50%, 50°C at 0%.

> Staying well hydrated and seeking areas in which to cool down - even for short periods - are important in high heat

> A recent study focusing on heat stress in Africa found that future climates will not be conducive to the use of even low-cost cooling systems such as “swamp coolers” as the tropical and coastal parts of Africa become more humid. These devices, which require far less energy than air conditioners, use a fan to recirculate the air across a cool, wet pad to lower the air temperature, but they become ineffective at high wet-bulb temperatures above 21°C (70°F[, at 100% humidity])

Themselves. I'm saying developers (and employees in general) should not do any personal stuff on work machines or any work stuff on personal machines.

This has benefits for the employee, not just the company, in that it keeps the employees personal data out of the hands of the IT department.
No problem. Good luck with the project.

Seems pretty consistent with GNOME dropping valuable features everyone uses... I say this as someone who just switched back to GNOME on Wayland (since 42), but it always seems like they're trying to lose users. At least it seems like a non-goal to grow their base, so it always loses out to any other concerns.
Right. And how do you determine that data? Are you 100% sure you haven't missed anything? Remember there was some issue with fonts hosted by Google.

I am sure they'd get a much better response rate if they only built a single prototype that delivers whatever miniscule amount of "perpetual" energy.

If the problem is achieving manifacturing tolerances or reducing waste due to drag (they mention lubrication and bearings), maybe that answers their own questions.
In the first paragraph he says the elevators aren’t evenly spaced, and then again, it is mentioned in the James Hadley quote.

Interestingly removing `fn` was something I've considered more than once, but I had people ask me to keep it. Even though you can get searchability in C by adhering to certain conventions, that's not the same as being able to search ANY code base in a simple manner, which I believe is what people wanted.
> why isn't the C equivalent here just "struct Foo"?

That would not be the equivalent... you would then need to declare the type of Foo variables as:

struct Foo myVar;

With the typedef, and I assume with C3, you would do the more acceptable:

Foo myVar;
Python had strengths that drove it's adoption, namely that it introduced new ideas about a language's accessibility and readability. I'm not sure it was ever really meeting the needs of application developers. People have been upset about Python performance and how painful it is to write concurrent code for a long time. The innovations in accessibility and readability have been recognized as valuable - and adopted by other languages (Go comes to mind). More recently, it seems like Python is playing catch-up, bringing in innovations from other languages that have become the norm, such as asyncio, typing, even match statements.

Languages don't succeed on their technical merit. They succeed by being good enough to gain traction, after which it is more about market forces. People choose Python for it's great ecosystem and the availability of developers, and they accept the price they pay in performance. But that doesn't imply that performance wasn't an issue in the past, or that Python couldn't have been even more successful if it had been more performant.

And to be clear, I use Python every day, and I deeply appreciate the work that's been put into 3.10 and 3.11, as well as the decades prior. I'm not interested in prosecuting the decisions about priorities that were made in the past. But I do think there are lessons to be learned there.

Good to know. I've always wondered why my bathroom has a separate little closet-sized room with a toilet. I always thought it was worse because you can't wash your hands until after you've touched the flusher handle and the door knob. Of course any reasonable person with two hands will use separate hands, but it's just weird to me.

Additionally, there was a towel rack in that room. I took it down because, again, it makes no sense. Why would anyone need a towel in the toilet room?
The problem with any new language is libraries and tooling.
Ideally, the problem would require two possible actions, and not allow inaction. Two possible avenues for such a formulation are

1) The lever is in an intermediate state, that will cause the trolley to set into effect some global catastrophe, and therefore must be pulled in one of two directions. This may be a rather unconvincing scenario.

2) Have two trollies, each running down their own track, and the operator has a choice which of two levers---only one of which can be reached in time---to pull to detour a trolley to a harmless side track.

Sure there was some utility gained from those rules, but then we looked at them and the cost-benefit analysis is pretty clearly against them.

Limiting personal freedoms to satisfy old religious beliefs (some of which used to serve useful purposes) makes very little sense nowadays, especially that we have much much much better ways to get much better outcomes with regards to those purposes. (Eg. avoiding genetic defects due to incest, keeping communities growing to have enough people to replace those who are lost due to famines, disease, war, accidents.)
I believe that statement was sarcastic.

It's actually as strong as your expectation of the evidence being there. If you are absolute sure of the evidence, look, and don't find anything, this is very strong evidence of the absence.

But well, on this case the absence is quite expected too.

The system’s integrated planning component not only optimizes the system for the current workload, but also predicts future workload trends before they occur so that the system can prepare itself accordingly. It also enables new optimizations that are not possible today because the complexity of managing these systems has surpassed the abilities of human experts."

In general, I'm much more concerned with private actors than state actors. I'm aware of multiple ways in which companies use information to try to extract money from me, and they actively make my life worse in the attempt.

I have a much harder time thinking about how giving states access to my information has been harmful for me. I can think of potential harms, if the state started doing religious or ethnic persecution(not trying to diminish the chance of this, but not a problem today) so I'm aware of potential threats. But other than that... What exactly should I be worried about?

> Good authors did not started by writing hundred formulaic stories first.

Maybe not hundreds, but I bet many good authors started by writing a few dozen formulaic stories first. Humans learn through mimicry, and I don't think storytelling is any different.

> If you dont break rules before learning them, you will never learn to break them.

If you're good at your craft, you end up learning the rules regardless; the only question is how efficient are you at doing do? The best way to learn is through mistakes, but you can choose to learn from others' mistakes, so you don't need to make them yourself.

That's what the "rules" are: things other people have done, that didn't work. They aren't absolutes, but they're good starting points, and until you have some sort of intuition about things, breaking the rules should at least make you stop and consider why you're doing so, and if you're doing so in a way that will work.

I had a similar interaction with my local government around fence height. I had a small section of fence connected to a driveway gate and the city told me I had to remove both as they were too tall.

I investigated and sure enough the code as written limited fence height to 3' in a large number of cases, however it did not specifically mention gates. I hired a lawyer and $15,000 later I still had to lower the fence. ;). I did manage to get the gate itself allowed due to the poor wording on the regulation, but the fence, which had been there for >15 years had to go. It looks worse now, but looking good was never the intention of the regulation, oddly enough.

During the conversation I actually talked to the enforcement board and brought with me over 150 pictures of other fences on the same road I am on that also clearly violate this. I would estimate there are >10s of thousands of houses in the Portland area that violate this. They indicated they understood that there were probably lots of other violations but did not care. I asked why these other clear violations were not being investigate, and they said they are only required to investigate when there was a complaint.

I'll admit I did consider writing an automated job to file a complaint against every home in Portland that has a fence to make a point, but I suspect that point would be lost.

One of the problems with complaint based enforcement is the ability to use to to harass people. If for some reason you don't like a neighbor because of their race, political views, favorite sports team, or whatever else passes your mind you can start filing complaints that are clearly not enforced across the population.
But what if I want to name the inner struct so I can refer to Outer::Inner (for example, for use with sizeof or similar, or to create a temporary to hold a copy of that type) later? Do I need to use typeof(Outer::inner)? And then of course multiple members of the same type...
Microservices have one big advantage over monoliths: when you have a very large number of employees developing software it means that you can keep your teams out of each others' hair. If you don't have a very large team (as in 50+ developers) you are probably better off with a monolith, or at best a couple of much larger services that can be developed, tested and released independently of each other. That will get you very far, further than most start-ups will ever go.

Same. I was kind of hoping for an in-depth explanation on the difference between Watts and VA, which should be none, W = VA, but apparently for AC they're used for 2 different ways of measuring average power, one being the product of peak current and voltage divided by 2, and the other being the product of the root mean square voltage and the root mean square current. I still wonder why they both matter, rather than just sticking with one or the other.

According to Wikipedia,

> Some devices, including uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), have ratings both for maximum volt-amperes and maximum watts. The VA rating is limited by the maximum permissible current, and the watt rating by the power-handling capacity of the device.

Is there something besides the "maximum permissible current" that influences the "power-handling capacity" in a circuit? These sound the same.

I work on EKS Anywhere and familiar with those options but my answer will be biased

EKS Anywhere provides a CLI, packaged Cluster API, and other tools (CNI, GitOps) on top of raw Kubernetes. K8s, k3s, k0s are binaries you have to manage and are similar to EKS Distro [1] which we publish and build on top of.

EKS Anywhere is designed to give you clusters you can manage long term using Cluster API and a full suite of tools for how we thing Kubernetes clusters should be run based on our experience running EKS. It is a closer comparison to Rancher's RKE or VMware Tanzu for provisioning clusters, but some features and implementation details are different.
