Ok point not ceded, but moving on.

Why are you then comparing this party to others promoting both diametrically opposite sides of the same arguments as a sane "position".

Both extremist religious views and personal freedoms are promoted by the labour in the UK. If they're not promoting anti-intellectualism (your claim) then are they simply demonstrating it?

A party cannot hold both sides in an argument and plead with you not to question it. That is either being anti intellectual and anti discourse or demonstrating anti intellectualism. That or at worst is probably being dishonest. It's impossible to make a coherent argument promoting such a position.

The same goes for the green party and it's anti nuclear stance despite knowing that had we adopted this decades ago a lot of the problems in the last 12 months wouldn't be coming to a head. You can't be anti fossil fuel and anti the only more carbon at scale reliable alternative. This is again holding both sides on the same argument.

And yes the conservatives promote both free market and then practice crony capitalism which are both self defeating opposites of the same fiscal policy.

Edit:
I'm assuming at this point you're trying to make some statement about people pretending to be "learned" or "educated" by waving around that they could afford a degree of sorts without being learned. The problem is that you are cherry picking because there is now the modern problem of "too much data". Getting 13 answers from 12 experts means there is likely no answer and fits the statement of don't believe the "experts" aspousing their answer.
Although I think the problem is the lack of gatekeeping around actual degrees which are worth the paper they're written on vs media studies toilet roll.
I think this is a comment for which "sources needed" is kind of the bare minimum.

To most people, the "readiness" of self-driving cars doesn't even come about when they would accomplish parity with human drivers across all situations, because they should be better. And we're not even close to parity with human drivers across a large swath of common situations.

Unless you have links showing otherwise...
FWIW Gladwell's comments really resonate with me. I do think it's okay if you decide you don't want anything out of your job besides a paycheck, and are happy to find meaning, belonging, etc. in other parts of your life. But for my own life, I want more of those things from my job.
(4) is extremely important. Labor pool is smaller and there won't be a wealth of soft documentation and people that can provide immediate support for common questions.

Plus it was crystal clear to anyone remotely aware of where assisted driving was and is at that time that it’s simply bogus and outright dumb and dangerous calling it “Autopilot”.

Such a sad case of wishful thinking for the domestic economy by regulators blinded by a “shiny” corporation.
Do you think all Tesla buyers are skilled software engineers or ML researchers? I guarantee you that a lot of people believed Tesla’s and especially Elon’s claims that this was right around the corner, and don’t have the appropriate experience to understand that there are multiple fundamental improvements needed before this will actually deliver. I know multiple people who are quite smart but didn’t have the experience to understand that it’s not like, say, buying a game at launch expecting it to be patched in a few months but more like a bunch of people doing Ph.D-level research which likely won’t ship in the life of their car.
Pandemic did something that was never possible, show that doing effective work without having to physically put yourself in a specific location was always possible. Higher productivity and record company profits show that it is totally possible. Any push towards bringing people in to work is just about preference now.

The other thing that working remote has done is that it has disillusioned a lot of people. It’s harder to drink the cool aid when you can easily distance yourself. This has also meant all the corporate lies and bullshit are easily called out. And that is where the management struggles and wants to push for in person work. Employees have taken back a lot of power from the management and that is something that doesn’t sit well with them.
This is a great hack, however I really prefer the easier version of simply connecting the symfonisk board to a decent/great bi-amp speaker.

See, in their normal state these Sonos speakers are mono, yet they have this stereo amp in them. What Sonos does is use a crossover with that stereo amp to make it a mono bi-amp (in other works instead of left/right, it's outputting high/low to the tweeter and woofer respectively). If you simply connect one side of the amp to a normal speaker, you'll either get muddy bass or incomprehensible chirping, because the crossover splits the audio)

The whole soldering part of the mod here is to work around that fact, and bridge the audio back to a single mono channel. While this has some advantages - more power, and connects to 'regular' speakers, it's a lot more wrk, and a lot riskier.
Outrage directed at something marked with “(might?)” seems to me extremely counter-productive.

> There are people who occasionally sell expensive things for cash

There are not, not in practice. And to the extent there are they they do so by converting that cash to traceable assets in banks subject to know-your-customer rules who are able to attest to the validity of those transactions. To the extent that you have private entities doing very large, regular cash transactions that are not visible to AML regulators, that practice is not presumptively legal (nor common, except for literal criminals). You know this. I know you know this. Just ask a lawyer if you think you could get away with that. You can't.

Hiding behind a "if this and this and this were true then you could evade AML rules" as a technicality (effectively: that there are edge cases not covered under existing statutes) is not arguing for the legality of the kind of pervasive laundering enabled by a crypto mixer, and you know it.
Trains weigh hundreds to thousands of tons [1] - a single passenger car (as in 'train car') weighs around 70 tons and carries around 60 people when fully occupied (which does not happen that often on longer hauls but occurs frequently on commuter lines). In the linked article an example is given of an Amtrak passenger train carrying 560 passengers with an empty weight of 1228 tons empty, 1278 tons loaded. While this example is skewed by the inclusion of 50% sleeper wagons (which carry fewer passengers) it does show trains are not a good comparison when talking about moving heavy boxes to carry passengers.

I realize this is ad hominem, but when I used to live in the west village I would see him all over the place in the middle of the day, working, but notably not in an office. It was A Thing. I would see him (frequently, he was a fixture of the Joe's on Waverly in particular) and with envy think about what a great gig he's got, that he had the freedom to work wherever he wanted. Reading about him literally tear up at the thought of all those empty desks in all those empty buildings across Manhattan is hilarious.

I also happen to have it on good authority that when he did show up to an office he would arrive, and I am not making this up, in pajamas.
thanks for letting me know. I will delete this one and post there.
After working from home since March 2020 I recently leased an office in a beautiful building that is mainly occupied by a nonprofit focused on musical education, which is delightful to be around (and I keep finding musical instruments that no one minds if I commandeer). I am loving it, and it really makes me think that the key thing about WFH is freedom.

I don’t mind going to the office because no one is telling me to go to the office. I choose when and whether to go. And it’s also my own office that I’m paying for, and if I want to take a nap because I’m tired and need to rejuvenate for another round of coding, then I lock the door and sleep.

I mainly got the space because my family is home for the summer, and in the first days of having it I reflected that a lot of the joy I get from it is also freedom-related, in the sense of being free from family responsibilities for the day.
Bluray uses violet laser. Higher density requires using a smaller wavelength laser. Up until recently, ultraviolet lasers were expensive but it looks like someone recently developed cheaper one. It might now be possible to make higher density disc.
Excel esports on ESPN show world the pain of format errors
Just one person's perspective - but I completely agree with the idea of wanting to feel part of something and not getting that with 100% WFH. Most of us spend a good chunk of our adult waking lives working, we might as well try to make the time as fulfilling as possible. I get energized by being on a team and building something together. WFH is just not the same for me.

I know others can be fulfilled working from home, so I'm not advocating forcing anyone back into the office. But I could see a scenario where companies differentiate into pure wfh and 2 or 3 days/week in the office. I may be weird, but I would chose the latter, all other things being equal.
Wow, good point. Need to do that ASAP!
Malcolm Gladwell constantly makes up shit so I don’t see why this would be any different.
And don't forget WFH vs working in the office are not two sides of a coin where you can pick and choose your adventure and it costs about the same -- working from an office has notably lower productivity (look at the non-FANG studies), costs way, way more for the employee and the employer, and has an unconsciounable carbon footprint (commuting, running AC in the offic 24/7, real estate, vehicles, etc etc).

basically never, or never? ;-)
But there isn't a traditional stereo signal in there - there's a mono signal fed to a crossover which splits the high/low audio and feeds it in to the amp as 2 separate channels. The (normally stereo) amp is then used to feed the tweeter and woofer instead of L/R.
This was recently enabled for Javascript in VS Code, and was a welcome sight. (The Calva plugin for Clojure already had it, naturally.)
This should elicit a response from every one who believes in Constitutional rights and internet freedoms. It is now illegal to send transactions to a particular smart contract. Sending a transaction is an act of publishing information, so this means publishing certain information is illegal for Americans.

Moreover, the sanctions law empowers the USG to sanction people, and the entities they run, but with this measure, is being misappropriated to prohibit Americans from using neutral privacy tools that no one runs. This marks a significant expansion in the scope of discretionary power wielded by the state, without any legislation authorizing this escalation in powers.

Finally, in reaction to the sanctioning of a smart contract address, Github has now removed all code for the Tornado Cash smart contract, and banned any user who has contributed code to it, which further reinforces the argument that this measure is an assault on free speech.
I like the idea of supporting multi cloud, not cloud vendor lock-in, but I still doubt providing a tool can solve this.

We have been building a DBaaS(database as a service) for many years. Until now, we have only supported AWS and GCP, have not supported Azure. It is really hard to let your product run stably on multi clouds.

For example, not all the cloud vendors provide the same infrastructure at the same time. We wanted our database run on K8s, but several years before, only GCP provided its managed K8s - GKS, so we had to provide our DBaaS on GCP at first. We also wanted to let our customer use PrivateLink to access our service, but GCP had supported too late than AWS, so we had to provide the VPC mechanism for a long time.

Even all the cloud vendors provide the same service, there are still some differences in the details above. E.g, one customer complained us that they met a backup problem on Google Cloud Storage, they found that the speed of our backup was not the same as our product spec statement. Then we found that we only fully tested this feature on AWS S3.

So Now even our DBaaS runs well both on AWS and GCP, we still don’t have the confidence to deploy the service on Azure. We plan to devote a quarter to testing to run DBaaS on Azure in the end of this year.

IMO, I still recommend handling the interfacing with the cloud directly to let us know the clouds better. Of course there are some awesome tools helping us to do some functional encapsulation, hiding the underlying implementation, but we must ensure these tools are easy enough to maintain.
Much of what middle management does is justify its existence. Without being in the office, it is a whole lot harder to justify this existence for people who spend their days in meetings talking about what will happen in other meetings. You can significantly cut these roles out and gain productivity.
The article's title is "How We Perceive Nature Through Our Sense of Smell" (my emphasis).
> You contradict yourself.

That's a strange interpretation of my words. TornadoCash allows DPRK to steal from Americans and use that money. We shouldn't throw our hands up in the air and say there is nothing we can do about it. We should instead prevent anybody from transacting with funds laundered through TornadoCash via regulation. This removes DPRK's profit and affects normal people by some amount approximating 0.
It is general advice across most server application deployments to limit internet egress (see for example NIST NIST SP 800-190, section 4.4.2 “Unbounded network access from containers”) . A machine that can talk out to the internet usually provides an attacker more avenues to compromise it and control/exfiltrate data from it post-compromise. A classic example is a SSRF bug, like how the recent log4j/log4shell bug used an attacked-instigated outbound LDAP call to a malicious internet host to achieve RCE.
Vocabularies are starting to appear. Something like a pattern language.
Oooh, this looks lovely, thank you for showing me this.

EDIT, hm he seems to be missing some obvious cognates, e.g.

>propio, own (adj.); proper (cognate). Proper in modern English no longer has the meaning "own", but this word in Spanish, propio, still retains it. if this knowledge is too uninteresting, use a mnemonic such as "A truly proper lady behaves in her own natural style."

wtf? What about just the English word "property" instead of this silly lady business?
It's interesting how a market has also formed around offering services (often pay-per-use!) to reset the counter. I'm ambivalent about that; on the one hand, they did do some RE work to figure out how to reset the counter, but on the other hand, it seems just as predatory --- and I'm honestly surprised that there doesn't seem to be many who have sniffed the communications necessary to do the reset and published it freely yet. Here is one of the few projects I found; note the very short list of supported models:

Likewise, custom firmware for printers is an equally underdeveloped niche.
Yea I agree. I personally still come to the conclusion that it’s probably worth it assuming the business continues to operate as they have been. But eWaste does suck to generate knowingly.

I have a record player (and DAC) and an amp and passive speakers. I have the full HiFi setup - the record player is setup to avoid vibrations and the speakers are properly distanced from the wall etc. I can tell you without any hesitation that the price-per-minute-listened of my Sonos system is a small fraction of the HiFi (which will last 30 years). If I upgrade the Sonos every decade I’m sure it’ll still “make sense”. That’s excluding the cost of media for which records cost a lot more than streaming. Personally, I think the Sonos sound “more than good enough” to enjoy without missing anything from the record player.

That said, I don’t love the generation of eWaste, and I hope the Sonos lasts for more than a decade. And every day that Amazon/google keep their smart speakers alive is a good day for eWaste. I can only dream they’ll allow you to update the firmware when they finally EOL them. (I know they won’t though).
The fact that you disagree with that particular democratic process does not mean it is not in fact a democratic process. Not a perfect one, but one nonetheless. As for your second sentence, I don't understand what you are getting at. I am really arguing the argument I put forth, not some other argument. If you disagree with that point, happy to entertain a rebuttal but I have no interest in participating in a culture war so you can put down your dog whistle detector.
> Richer "nice off-the-shelf device" people will stay that way, DIY with an IKEA speaker people will also stay that way.

HEY! I was literally just researching wireless speakers this week, and considering Sonos. Seeing this post convinced me not to buy Sonos hardware.

There’s probably dozens of us out there :)
What’s the operative mechanism for that “racism?” And how on earth did white people design a “racist” test on which they underperform Asians?

I'm not a party to this argument, have no dog in the fight about the SATs, and sort of broadly buy what John McWhorter has to say about standardized testing (the last time I was paying attention to any of this, he had written about "the soft bigotry of low expectations").

But the question you're asking incredulously here is easy to answer: you get "whites" designing a test that advantages "Asians" if the goal of that test is not to maximize white advantage, but instead to minimize Black advantage. That's, like, not a historically unprecedented thing for American policy.
These do use such a DSP, but it's not a fixed response. Sonos speakers use the phone amp with a process they call TruePlay to tune their speakers, and TruePlay still works with this after the mod, so you can retune the DSP for pretty much any kind of speaker and room combo.

Interesting. For the record, that SRFI is David Wheeler's Sweet Expressions :)

I feel like your use of the word "attempts" implies these ideas were unsuccessful, but I would disagree. Perhaps Lisp in general has not "succeeded" in that its original purpose (AI research) has entirely abandoned it, but I think the problem of low general-purpose adoption is overstated.

In particular, since Lisp does not play nicely with the C calling convention, it's ability to integrate into polyglot systems has always been problematic, but I have confidence that the future will be better for FFI's in general, perhaps starting with WASM, which hopes to create a "universal ecosystem" of libraries (components). In theory, any program written in Lisp, or Rust, or Javascript, could import any package from PyPI by means of a WASM component. If this becomes reality, Lisp would be much more appealing to people currently put off by the languishing ecosystem and lack of integration, and may yet even have a fighting chance of reclaiming it's AI research credentials, simply by importing numpy :)
Yeah. At least for me, what I switch to isn't even an ounce more productive than staring at the progress bar.

What I do sometimes is just to go offline. I use iptables to deny outgoing connections on 80 and 443. Then there is nothing to switch to. No emails to check, no nothing. The computer gets really quiet, for a lack of a better word. Uncomfortably so at first, but you get used to it, and after it passes, it's almost calming.
(5) is pretty irrelevant, ABI isn't language.

You can strap basically any language on top of the C ABI. Many contender languages either use it natively or offer low-cost/no-cost C ABI bindings, specifically as its the lingua franca ABI.

You can check (5) off your list if your choice of replacement language has easy C ABI interop.

[edit]

(1) isn't particularly relevant either. These days the tooling for detecting memory leaks, data races, bugs, etc, operates at the debug info (DAWRF/dSYM) level. It doesn't matter what compiler or input language generated the debugging information, the tools should work just fine. You can run valgrind on your Rust binary for instance. [1] Is there any such tooling that specifically depends on the input source being C? I guess some static analysis tools?

I agree with most things in this article really, but then again, handmade.network has some quality in it overall.
I agree. The pandemic weakened the position of a lot of corporate bullshitters.

On the other hand, if management can figure out this asynchronous, remote, results-driven world, they gain a lot of flexibility w.r.t to labor. It's hard to find skilled people. If you can hire globally, it should be a big advantage.
> So then, post-panic, are we left with any guarantees about the validity of postconditions?

Yes, because in order to catch a panic, the routine you're running has to be unwind-safe: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/trait.UnwindSafe.html

If you want to go on crashing your process and restarting it, then that's fine. It's a fine strategy. But you can't ignore that request handlers tend to be very well isolated, and catching a panic from one of them while continuing to service requests actually works well in practice. Oodles of folks are doing this in production. I've been doing it production for years. I have literally, not once, not ever, seen any problems arise because of this.

Consider what happens if there's a 'slice[i]' that panics in a regex library. The stack unwinds and any objects associated with that specific search that panicking get dropped. And since 'Regex' implements 'UnwindSafe', it says, "If a panic occurs it's all good to continue using me if you catch the panic."

You keep wanting to argue the theory. Rust has UnwindSafe for that. But please, consider looking at the practice too. You don't seem to have acknowledged that at all.
In general. I've run into very few device-specific quirks with OpenBSD, and those only during the initial installation.
Sounds like totally normal Bay Area behavior :)
the only better c that will count is if c add some features that are critical like a standard library that is more powerful i know c++ 17 have some improvements but need alternatives for most things is not good for the ecosystem, and the old only if you want, is 2022 most embedded system use this tools, we need c to have a reasonable standard library, the whole world depend on it.
> People quit just as often.

People are quitting a little more often.

They are doing that because offering your employees a 3%-5% raise in a year where inflation is 9.1% is cutting their pay.

Employers would like to pretend that isn't true so they're looking for any other explanation. Work-from-home, low birth rate (retroactively to 1997?), social media, entitlement...
