> But it's not even an essay, isn't it?

I was using the term "essay" because its definition is so vague that almost any short not so academically strict non-fiction text may be called an "essay", at least in a wide sense. (And you can even call a rather austere text that deals with a broader subject an "essay", like Hume's Essays.)

But I am open for a better alternative: So if we have a short non-fiction text that wants to make a statement in a more casual style, how would you classify it instead?

On a smaller scale, I sometimes like making (and looking for) tweetcarts. Search for the #tweetcart hashtag on Twitter; those are procedural animations made with PICO-8 in less than 280 chars. There is a code golf aspect to it, but it's a bunch of math first. If you're interested, some basics are explained here: https://demobasics.pixienop.net/tweetcarts/
> Also, on a non-checksummed filesystem, how will you know whether a file needs to be restored from the backup?

Has same edit epoch? If yes skip. If no compute checksum of both and compare, copy over in case they differ.

I am fully aware of the flaws of this.
If you never want to let your game that people already bought and paid for work without your central server being up, then I do think you should have to keep it up literally forever.
Your app is also great to help get to sleep. I find if my thoughts are too active when I'm trying to sleep, then having some soothing sound like rain to focus on is a great help. It also has a stop timer so it won't go on all night.
Perhaps VHS vs Betamax is a suitable equivalent to FreeBSD vs Linux.
But then people would hold them to it.

Why would they do that?

Political agility requires that they can adapt their messages on-the-fly to whatever their current audience wants to hear.

Vision statements would reduce their political agility, thus they are not used.
In my mind, Excel can treat data however it wants. Things can be redefined. The import data process has a "Transform Data" button. Click it. It opens a window where you can check the data and manually edit the query. It's called Power Query. They aren't even using the tools right there in front of them to fix these things. Imagine them using Python and R.
Depends on how simple your code is. I can imagine that a smart tool-using animal could be trained to use a mechanical computer or 'program' a simple sequence, but the prime motivator (that humans can supply) for most animals is food, so you would end up with a Rube-Goldberg food dispenser or something, not literal codemonkeys.
Tell them they are right and ask them to fork and build it and send the changes for your review.
> the fact that nobody cares about BSD

I am quite certain that you would be shocked if you learned how many people use it. I've worked at two companies where more than 95% of servers ran FreeBSD, and these are absolutely companies that you have heard of. 10s of thousands of servers at each when I worked at them, and likely 5x that amount, now.

lots of people care about FreeBSD. they just aren't known for crapping on Linux, like Linux users are known for crapping on everything that is not Linux.
With GraphQL you are making a view of your data. You're using types to describe an idealized API response. It's a frontend and it can do anything you want.
use language like this:

"Unfortunately I only have limited resources to maintain XYZ, and such a feature add would increase my maintenance and testing burden beyond that which I'm able to accommodate. Feel free to fork my work and/or use competing product QPR""

that's assuming even if they paid you, you still wouldnt want to do it. if you are willing to add the feature for money, that's easy, just ask them for money. often they will

as a noob trying to pick up coding just to experiment with some ideas, I always found Git to be surprisingly confusing. I feel that a lot of the command names aren't very intuitive.

Or am I just an idiot?
I don't understand how this is related to monads - there is nothing in the general monad interface that even allows you to go `m a -> a`, so something being a monad doesn't seem sufficient to be able to define that algebra.

Seems to me that the entire interesting bit is "provided" by `a` being a monoid. (I agree that monoids are really interesting)
A stats class won’t teach you that either. You probably want to look into a research methods or similar offered by a Sociology department. If you want to see how to apply stats to the real world, social science is your friend.
Had a weird moment reading this where I could not initially determine if "yocto" was a real thing or a made-up stand-in for purposes of the article.
Actually, I would have expected that it was more important to use ECC with a filesystem that lacks data checksums, since those should at least catch corruption.
Its a public messaging system... Not sure why they get offended when I ask publicly... Either don't answer or do... Why waste time and ask me to use email instead... I'm not going to use email to communicate about a communication forum.
Midjourney users are sectioned off into separate rooms. For me, Discord ran into an updating bug and either they didn’t assign me to a room, or the app failed to surface the room. I had to force quit the app and restart it. I’m not familiar with Discord so I can’t comment if bugs like that are endemic or not but it doesn’t make a good first impression.
Tangential.

The lead says "crashed into a high-rise building in Zugló during a sightseeing flight in Budapest" but as the article details later, it didn't crash into such a building. If you know the area this is even more confusing because there is a unusually high sixty meter high building very close https://i.imgur.com/3a7EiQ4.png and people vaguely know it's from the sixties, however this rather hideous building was built in 1965. In the 60s, the regime was mostly building mid rise concrete buildings with very few high rises as an architectural sign of triumph. This particular building in Zugló was for a few years one of the highest buildings in Budapest and certainly the highest apartment building. Even today the highest apartment building is only 71 meters high.

Another very Hungarian story about high rises is the one in Pécs. It was the highest building in the country at 82m built using novel Yugoslavian technology 1974-1976. Due to rushing the construction and skipping a very small amount of necessary special material, the pretensioned cords holding the building together rusted, the residents were evacuated in 1989 and eventually the building got demolished in 2016. Skipping a bucket of special "inhibitor" material -- seriously, for the entire building that was all needed -- and a few sheets of plastic in the mid 70s then ignoring the troubling findings of checkups in the early 80s leading to the inevitable loss of the building is just archetypical of socialist Hungary.

No. Intelligence is not «identical to human intelligence». This already reveals a very sloppy approach.

> But the most important thing you get with GraphQL is batching.

Doesn't HTTP/2 make this mostly obsolete? One of its big features is request multiplexing.

Regarding the auto-generated code bit, are auto-generated GraphQL clients a thing? It seems like it would be doable, but I haven't found any (at least for the languages I'm using).
It's IMO a combination of many factors, yours and mine included.

I, personally, learned to use git a couple of years ago, have never learned to use the `checkout` command, and had no need for it. The goal of `switch`/`restore` is to do everything that `checkout` does while being less of a confusing mess.

You say "always", but the technological progress and price curves indicate that within the next 20 years wind and solar (with batteries) are going to outperform any other source of energy generation by such a large factor and become so cost efficient that it would be ridiculous not to use them exclusively.
Agreed. Their competitor using a different model, Craiyon (https://www.craiyon.com/) just has a webpage with a box you type into to get started.
Git is confusing. Alternatives like Mercurial are way more intuitive and easier to use, but they lack popularity.
On a Meta note, what if we don't have general intelligence. What if the variety of problems we are able to solve are finite, and that we have evolved to be able to solve each one of them. We therefore have this illusion that our intelligence can be applied to "new" situations, when in fact the situation was never that new to begin with?
There's a commercial disadvantage to car owners continuing to drive 10 year old vehicles instead of purchasing new ones. Doesn't mean Ford (or Tesla, more likely) should be allowed to remotely brick sedans.
Daniel Shiffman has amazing resources for Processing that apply to any language/environment. He practically invented half of the stuff out there. Jared Tarbell (who was involved with the founding of Etsy) is also a great generative artist who's made code available.

laugardagr is the Old Norse word. Swedish developed from Old Norse (as did Norwegian and Danish). The Swedish lördag is derived from laugardagr.

The “laug” portion comes from Old High German “louga”, from PIE root leue- "to wash."

The “dagr” portion comes from the PIE root agh- "a day" with an initial “d” added as part of Old High German. OHG is the ancestor of Old Norse.

This is from Etymonline - a great resource for language information

> - My wifi card doesn't work. The installer recognizes it, but the driver doesn't work.

It really depends on your Wi-fi card. If you're installing FreeBSD on bare metal with an Intel card, iwx now supports Wifi 6 and 6E cards. Although, since I haven't tested it myself, I can't say it will work as expected if it works at all.

Typical post from a clueless author who doesn't understand the purpose of simplification. Ordinary people don't need to care about technical implementation details, and "small bits of text" gives a basic idea of the concept as far as it concerns them.
People who major in CS/math are usually great data engineers but terrible data scientists. They don’t understand how to ask questions the right way, experimental design, how to evaluate the evidence. They are often more focused on the technical aspects and lack the domain knowledge. I strongly encourage my students to get a minor in a natural or social science for this reason.
I've seen many ECC log lines on machines before, my wifi routers have ECC memory and they have seen at least one fault each. It isn't a one in a million sort of risk, it's just that most systems don't run with ECC, and maybe that bit flip just causes a crash or instability that's chalked up to software bugs. Especially as memory densities continue to skyrocket I would expect to see errors becoming extremely common place.

It's some sort of variation of the Toupee Fallacy, you aren't aware of the frequency of bit errors because you have absolutely no way of knowing when they happen, and what "random" errors were caused by them.
Maybe get them nothing?

I am part of the crowd of people that don't want anything. I already make plenty of money, enough to buy anything I might want, yet I live in a mid sized space with the bare minimum (maybe a little bit more than the bare minimum).

I still sleep on a futon.

And having many useless stuff around creates unnecessary annoyance, because I think about those things and worry when I don't use them.
One thing I really like about the background noise feature on iOS is it actively mixes with whatever music you might happen to be listening to on the device so that when the music punches in, the background noise generator backs off and when there's a gap in music playback the background noise subtly goes back up. That's a feature I would sorely miss in noisy environments now that I'm used to it.
Interesting that they claim HBO Max tech stack to be buggy. I’ve never had a problem with streaming anything and indeed have encountered more problems with platforms you’d think would have a better handle on the complexity of it - particularly Netflix.

In both examples given in the "Undoing a bad commit" section (fixing a commit message and fixing an error in a file) it's easier to make the change and then run `git commit -a --amend` which takes the current changes you have and adds them to the last commit, allowing you to change the commit message as well.

There are other cases where git reset is useful, but generally not for the reasons given.
Can you expand on that? If your existing RESTish/JSON Api doesn't support the level of fine tuning of what data you want back, how can react-query prevent overfetching? I ask because I'm currently involved in converting some code over to react-query, despite the fact there's a longer term plan to move to GraphQL which I'm concerned will obviate the need for the current rewrite.
It was pretty basic so I’m not sure how much it was talked outside of Yahoo. I see this presentation http://www.radwin.org/michael/talks/php-at-yahoo-zend2005.pd... providing an overview, but otherwise the basic principle was to have each addressable web server host an apache with a routing module, and that module will map a request path to a cgi file.

With that structure you can have any number of layers with your front call and the different business abstractions all representated by an API (let’s say you want a user’s average engagement with a service, you’d hit the high level API, which will fetch access stats from another API, which rely on a lower level API which goes through another separate layer managing DB cache etc.

Most of these call are of course internal to a data center.
So Haskell is among my favorite programming languages, but…

Monad tutorials suck and confuse people because they are usually thinly-veiled sales pitches for a solution to a set of problems that readers don’t feel that they have, often written by intermediate Haskellers.

Haskell is a tough sell: no one feels that they write dangerous, buggy code and should enthusiastically accept weird, foreign seeming constraints. Add a very different syntax and lots of terminology from outer space and you get, well, the adoption Haskell has.

Rust is doing Haskell a real favor here I think, because it’s normalizing the idea of “constraints as power”, has limited monadic structure, and is smashing the “has to look like C” syntax monopoly.

Some percentage of new Rustaceans are going to be like Neo after the King Fu disk: “I want more”, and those people are the new crop of Haskellers I think.

> The article claims the RHS maximum is the minimum for the LHS.

No, it shows that the LHS is at least as large as the RHS for any reals a and b (1), then shows reals a and b exist that make the RHS equal to 4 (2), and from (1) and (2) concludes the LHS is at least as large as 4.

I don’t see it claim that that bound is tight, and the LHS can be made equal to 4.
As someone who doesn't use ECC memory for my NAS (I'm not google) I have experienced many bitflips / corruptions for some sets of photos, especially when using a NAS with what turned out to be bad ram sticks (which was recognized after switching to using ZFS and raid 10, I don't know if this saved any of my data but the setup at least made me recognize that I had a problem).

while the discussion can be balanced the real world outcome is normally binary: use it or drop it.

i will not start investing huge amounts of time to learn graphql if it has very specific use cases for specific environments. so i naturally look for red flags and objectively negative experiences to see if those might be the roadblocks i would run into 2 months down the line.

imagine a PM coming in all happy "i know nothing about graphql besides the hype but i think it's a great fit for our next project". where will balanced discussion take you there?
> jails... docker? Really? Jails are 15+ years old implementation, kernel supported, that stood test of time, actually being a security feature. It runs circles around the docker in everything except how much it was adapted by community. I never understood why people rather used an inferior solution like docker.

Docker has Dockerfiles, layers, and trivial push/pull of images. Compared to those workflow improvements, nobody cares if the guts suck.
Doctors literally do recommend exercise as a first port-of-call, but that only works if you're suffering in a fairly minor way.

More serious depression makes getting up and exercising impossible. When I was dealing with it, some days it was a mountainous struggle just to get up and put some food in the microwave. It took all of my energy, for the whole day, to do just a simple task like that. The idea that I could have got up and gone for a run or do something else like that is absolutely laughable.

SSRIs gave me back the energy that depression took from me. Only when I started taking them could I start being sociable again, start going out more, start exercising again.
To be fair, even the current Paris-based bookstore of the name isn't the "real" one founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919 (that closed in 1941). I think the various bookstores of the name today do so in honor of Beach's store so they don't really claim ownership of the name.
Draw a line. Then draw another. Write a for loop to draw the lines. Make them different widths. Now try different colors. Rotate the lines. Try making it recursive.

There's no tutorial, because it's a creative medium. Try shit out and see what you enjoy. If you're out of ideas, try recreating something else you've seen as closely as you can, to practice your craft. The mistakes you make along the journey will generate ideas for you.

"Simple" is subjective.

Have you ever looked at what Docker puts in your iptables? I challenge you to understand what's happening with your networking after that.

If you want containers, lxc command line and a bit of configuration for a bridge interface is all you really need.
I'm probably one of those people who waxes lyrical about bookstores but don't really find myself in them nowadays. To me it's a special experience tho. I experience them like museums and there are very few left (!!) that are imbued with that character of poetic chaos and serendipity. The only book shops left may indeed only be frequented by the demographics that keep the margins nice and fat. So I suppose there's a hidden bias in your observation.
I have worked on dozens of side projects over the years, most get about half way done and then I get distracted or start on something different. But this one was different, I actually finished and launched it!

It started on the 4th of July when my Granny asked me to send her photos of my kids. Not on a screen, but "actually printed and delivered", she said. This gave me the idea to build Joyline.io, and 1 month later I'm actually launching it! I'm so excited, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this project grows

This will just mean that even more renewables will be built up the point where it is economically feasible to store such energy in batteries, heat, hydrogen, synfuels etc. Yes, many of these processes are inefficient, but if you consider wind already being the cheapest mode of electricity generation then after another 50% price decline due to progress in technology we might have electricity for lots of inefficient storage mechanisms.
Here's the tech I used:

- Figma for design
- Supabase auth, database (postgres), and storage

- React Hook Forms
- Zod for schema validation (and integrates nicely with RHF)
- mailing.run for emails (highly recommend)
- Cypress for integration testing
- sendgrid for sending emails
- Vercel for hosting
- Sentry for logging errors
