Agreed.

It’s really sloppy.

It has the feel of a My First App build.

People defend it as just being a beta release.

But it’s fundamentally bad in a way that a few tweaks to the UI during late development is going to fix.

Given that the GP quotes "nuclear research and at least four nuclear accidents occurred" that's a pretty ungenerous assumption to make.

That's not blame shifting, that's blame expansion; all of these causes are activities from the same organization, and the blame should be attributed to them.

In this case, using unity as an already existing system that has all the useful support is likely cheaper.

There's a huge amount of investment to make a game engine, and while public alternatives to everything is great, it's not necessarily cheaper than using already-existing solutions.
Your last paragraph seems the much more likely explanation. It seems Trump almost certainly would have used this authority against his domestic enemies if it were actually within his practical command.

At the right temperature on a stainless steel pan, there’s not much scraping needed to clean it off. Just a dash of water after you take the eggs off and some light scraping with your cooking utensil
I wish I could upvote da39a3ee's comment 100 more times. I hate condescending know it all people, and da39a3ee stated this way more eloquently then I would have.
I have used urxvt, st, and Alacritty extensively and I would say that to me they feel “snappy” in exactly that order. You are of course welcome to pick whatever metric you want to judge a piece of software, but I can not say that I have ever been bothered by st’s input latency. The input handling is done using XEvent and a call to pselect in x.c and I am sure a patch that does not increase the code complexity massively would be accepted upstream.

Luu also had this to say about the experimental setup for st:

> st on macOS was running as an X client under XQuartz. To see if XQuartz is inherently slow, I tried runes, another "native" Linux terminal that uses XQuartz; runes had much better tail latency than st and iterm2.

Maybe it matters, maybe it does not. But I feel like picking your terminal comes down to a lot more than a single metric and input latency experiment.
I didn’t know about named ranges, and think it’s pretty cool. Of course, when I thought of places where I could apply them I realized that by the time I use enough Excel to use named ranges, I should probably switch to a real programming language.

I was fortunate enough to spend about 18 months as staff assistant to my CEO, including access to their email and basically all meetings. This was a PE-backed roll-up that was in the midst of acquiring several smaller companies, and then pursuing an exit.

The experience really opened my eyes about the requirements for the job. The amount of code-switching required to communicate well with ownership, the other C-levels, employees, customers, and potential acquirers could make my head swim. The breadth and depth of technical, financial, and human expertise necessary to verify all the parts of the business and smell out where issues might be hiding. All of that before even getting to (in this case) integrating several businesses into a whole, identifying up-and-coming leaders, and keeping the employees happy; let alone actually having a strategy, getting buy-in, and implementing it. And then spending most evenings networking with the elite class that you need to know to have access to capital. You can never have a bad day. Ever.

This was for an org that was comfortably under 1000 employees, all located in the US, where none of the VPs were the kind of political operators you get in meatier companies.

I walked away thinking that there can't be even 100k people in the country with the ability to do even a non-laughable job as the CEO of a 500ish employee company. Not even do a good job, just do a job that doesn't look like one of those 80s child-parent-bodyswap movies where the kid tries to work in an office.

I still think CEO pay is out of control, but I understand better why boards end up paying what they do. Any weakness in any of these skills is an existential threat, and you don't know for sure what will hit you this year.
The Czech Republic is a welfare state with universal healthcare, free university tuition, and other incredibly strong social safety nets in place. As a result, they rank #12 on the inequality-adjusted Human Development Index. More people living happy lives without fear of economic destitution is a good way to keep crime rates low. Desperation breeds antisocial behavior.

I'll never argue that the presence of guns directly cause gun violence. There are many factors at play. Strong gun regulations are one proven means to reduce gun violence, even if they are merely treating a symptom rather than the real disease. Unfortunately, making the necessary changes to truly solve the problem is even more of an uphill battle. I could see meaningful gun legislation passing within the next 10-15 years. But it will probably be decades before we solve our problems with inequality, healthcare, and education, assuming our entire democracy does not disintegrate first.
On Nextdoor, complaints about this are as common as "someone's throwing dog poop bags in my garbage can."

This is called the "Leidenfrost effect." The other possible health downside to doing this in a stainless steel pan, as referenced elsewhere in these comments, is the overheating of certain cooking oils beyond their smokepoint and into temperatures that turn them potentially bad for your health.

It’s more like an import tariff in disguise. Countries other than the US, China, and Sweden have been under-successful in tech so they tax the exporters who supply their markets with these fines.
Sure. You don't need to baby a cast iron skillet to get decent stick protection for those applications. Even an egg dish like Tortilla Espanola or an American omelet would fare fine in a decently seasoned home cast iron skillet with proper heat control. But a classical french omelet requires vastly more stick protection and surface smoothness.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYlKkG1A7yk

In Jaques Pepin's well known video on making classical french omelets, he laments that he uses a non-stick pan because his carbon steel omelet pan isn't in the proper condition to make a proper french omelet. I guarantee you that Pepin has better pan and utensil technique than damn near anyone you'll meet in your life, but a surface for that dish requires babying.

There are good reasons that the only place you'll see cast iron skillets in a commercial kitchen is for cute presentations. They work decently for home cooks in many circumstances but they're too inconvenient to replaces the trusty commercial aluminum sautee pan as the classic blunt instrument, and not precise enough to perform the more specialized duties of commercial nonstick and carbon steel pans.

I put the 是 in that example on purpose, because it forces the response 是的 to be ambiguous between opposite meanings.

Your example is not in the form of a yes-or-no question[1], so it's not surprising or interesting that the answer can't be "yes". We see exactly the same phenomenon in English:

"intolerant of the intolerant"

I don't like that phrase. Because it's extremely vague and implies that things other than physical violence could be a focus of suppression. Intolerant opinions and speech are not and should not be policed in any meaningful way. The free and open exchange of ideas is crucial to a free society. Even those that are "intolerant" or offensive.

And, after seeing what happened over the last couple of years, I wonder how far people these days would take "intolerance of the intolerant"? Can a person who is known to be "intolerant" be banned from a grocery store for no other reason than their opinions? Can they be banned from all grocery stores? Should they be? Should they be fired from their jobs? Should they be harassed whenever they leave their house?

There are way too many ways to abuse the notion that you should be "intolerant of the intolerant".
Alphabet has $170 billion in total current assets and they are threatening their employees with possible dismissal. Why don’t they spend some of that money to help the employees improve their productivity, if that is truly an issue.

Examples like this make me snicker when people talk about a corporate job being secure. Those days are long gone.
Thanks for this! I think I’ll add this to the blog
For civil law, my understanding is that judges are more likely to cite academic legal opinions published in journals rather than other prior cases. It would make sense in that context that it is fine to look at case law in other countries.
I'm constantly in awe of Gitlab's radical transparency approach. I have no idea if this is actually a good idea (surely every competitor of Gitlab has a huge amount of assymetrical information about Gitlab that Gitlab does not have in return) - but I am fascinated by it and truly grateful for them for daring to go out on a limb and do this experiment. My fingers are crossed that this brings them amazing success as I wish all companies worked this way.

Nice shell script. It’s rare to see one written so well. I’ll add you to my list of people I can still count on one hand that properly quote variables.

If I had to pick one nit, and it’s a stylistic choice, you use braces around variable names where they aren’t strictly needed.

I also like to add “set -u”.
FWIW there's a lot of politics in this process. Existing talent in SEA is far more likely to get selected for these roles rather than offering global top talent a 2 year stint in SEA to see if it fits. The people that receive these TA positions are purposefully selected and groomed for future exec roles. The program does have a good track record of success but they made a few bad bets as well.
I have the Z3 compact. Google no longer supports it, as in Play Store just disappeared last year, or maybe before.

> At this point we know that the government has been cataloging evidence of advanced craft in the air and ocean that behave intelligently and are far beyond the capabilities of any major world power.

We do not know this to be true. We know the government has told us these things have been cataloged and observed. We barely know anything outside of (dis?)information that’s been slowly drip fed through small congressional committees and a bizarrely eccentric cadre of former DIA agents who have spent the last five years cultivating a personality cult and a subculture weirdly reminiscent of Q-Anon.

“The government is lying” is certainly not an exotic explanation for an unexplained phenomenon reported by a group of intelligence officers from the military-industrial complex.
GNU Autotools and GNU Make are separate things, my dude.

Autotools uses Make as the backend, but so do a lot of other things too. You don't need Autotools to use Make.
That's the thing, they don't!

There's a lot of options in this space. Ansys, Dassault SOLIDWORKS (though they're trying to push the cloud model, lmao), Siemens. Smaller devs like zw3d which plug into dedicated sim packages (it's not like f360's is that comprehensive).

Why don't people move? It's not like a super free market, but there's a bunch of options in the space.
You can donate time. It's just that unless you have professional level skills, that is less effective than donating money and letting professionals handle the work. Specialisation and division of labour really work.

If, for sentimental reasons, you get a kick out of working in the soup kitchen, by all means, work in the soup kitchen. Just be aware that you are doing this for your own entertainment.
I use Make for all kinds of general-purpose build automation tasks, and as kind of a top-level catch all. No Autotools to be found in them (except maybe if called from some recipe).
Which ones are you contributing to?
I never seen this "inequality-adjusted Human Development Index", but I'm certain Germany ranks higher on it than CZ, it is quite bit more developed than CZ in many areas. Many

Yet, they don't have shall issue laws, no constitutional rights like in CZ and USA, and their homicides (firearms or not) are somewhat higher. They border each other and have a long shared history going back a thousand years.

Seems regulations actually matter very little, except maybe appeasing the anxious that something is being done?

Czechs do ask for medical clearance, which is probably reasonable, but I'm afraid even that could be abused by a rogue government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry
more information on how libredrive is activated:

https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19113

yes, it's a mode of operation, made possible by adding custom firmware by updating the device's microcode.

even your link notes:

> Change the optical drive embedded software in a way that the drive becomes a “primitive” device - one that just positions a laser, reads and decodes the data. Make a drive free from “policing” functionality, a drive that just passes all data from the disc to the user. We call this drive a LibreDrive.

but, libredrive support is not necessary for all drives.

The terminal emulator is probably the most used and most important software I'm running. It needs to be enjoyable. I personally can feel the lag so its not good enough for me.

Anyway that being said I have some collegues that are not bothered by lagging mouse cursors and other janky stuff so I can somewhat understand that this might not matter to some people.

edit:
I just tried out st again on my gnu/linux machine and it seems to be fine with respect to input latency so I guess its not all too bad of a terminal emulator. Maybe it only sucks on macOS.

I understand that there are likely to be many significant differences in graphemes in these languages from Roman text but I'm not familiar enough with any Asian language to construct an example.

These days I would bet all internal/debugging features are gated behind asymmetric crypto-based challenge/response. And it's probably physically impossible to decap a <10nm chip and inspect visually. I don't see a way around it other than hoping for implementation bugs. It might be the end of the road for the hackers :(
Fortunately that is now fixed in the 0.31.0 release two weeks ago!
Nobody minds, if you spend your own time and money to make your local community nicer.

It's just that this is (most likely) not the most effective way to make the world better.

And if your thesis is that this is the most effective way, because of copying etc, it would be useful to run some controlled experiments.

That's "precracked" software, which is big enough to disguise the presence of malware. I was talking more about patches/keygens to be applied, which are relatively tiny compared to a cryptominer (and, although I'm not sure about recent times since I've been out of the scene for over a decade, crackers used to be quite skilled and proud of making their releases tiny.)
I don't know about these days, but I implemented an XLS reader 20 years ago.

And that is wrong somehow?

If you grant the assumption that the Catholic church was a worthwhile organisation doing good work, then the indulgences seemed like a perfectly good idea to me on a practical real-world level. (No clue about the intricacy of Christian doctrine, so I can't say whether they were kosher from a theological point of view.)

Sorry, but you misunderstand what asdf is! In Homebrew and Hermit and others, somebody needs to create a PR to add support for a new version - with asdf, it's not necessary and it's always ahead of Homebrew and other package managers, because it directly polls the releases of a project! So, you're not a the mercy of a packages repo maintainer! I've considered Hermit, but many of the tools I needed were severely outdated so I gave up on it!

I hope we're measuring and disseminating dose rate and dose rate hazard information these days. I hate that I ctrl-f these kinds of articles for mSv (measure of radioactive dose) and never find it.

The reactor type they were testing there is actually super interesting. It was a liquid metal cooled reactor (LMR) with slow neutrons. We have made lots of fast-neutron LMRs, but only a tiny handful of slow-neutron LMRs. They're interesting because they get the neutronics efficiencies of slow neutrons (e.g. they can start up and operate with very low enriched uranium) while also getting the benefits of cooling with liquid metal (low-pressure passive safety, high temperature heat, low corrosion, single phase flow).

It's my favorite reactor type actually. The SRE in LA was the prototype for the Hallam reactor in Nebraska.

Rent-seeking is more abusive than enforcing ownership rights, by far.

Copyright is an invention; if it is being used to grossly undermine ownership rights, then we should reconsider the extent to which we privilege copyright holders, including our current approach of granting state-backed legal enforcement of their DRM schemes.
