Sure, but that takes physical, observable action. It's much easier to detect.
Re: your edit, I think the real answer is that the correct translation is fully context dependent, and the people who want it strict want to basically force/precompute the context, vs the people who want it loose want the context itself to smartly decide what the string means to itself. The problem is that modern paradigms are squishy about this, and aren’t smart enough to consistently do the right thing, so real systems end up both too strict and brittle for the real world domain but also too loose and ambiguous to be bug free.
First of all, I have to say I hate how the author not only mentions their book, but puts a huge ad cutting into the text telling us we can buy it at "Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target". This makes it clear to me (regardless if the author has a point!) that the author is financially benefitting off of selling me fear.

Secondly, I hate how liberal thinkpiece authors can never lay the blame at the hands of the people using tech. If you google something as contentious as "Washington Times Antifa Evidence", and you don't even have the integrity to scroll down the page to see if there's any disagreement, then there is nothing Google can do to protect you from the conmen of the world.

Any attempt to "fact-check" will result in an extreme backlash, as conservative laypeople will rightly notice the liberal-slant, and conservative lawmakers will use that as an excuse to punish Google. It will likely be ineffective in changing people's minds, and it may result in serious costs to Google as a company.
Thanks for added details. I was wondering if this project was efficient considering the amount of "fog" in this area.
We get it languages diverge and branch into different languages, that's how they have evolved. French English and German and Spanish all have common ancestry (right?).

Problem is if it's not clear (to your audience) which language you are using. I'm not saying that is what happened here. I'm concerned about the general principle "it does not matter really". Yes it doesn't, so much that we should nitpick about it. But it does in giving us guidance as to what we should strive towards. If the audience is international it is best to not use use a specific dialect from a specific region of the world.

It's not "incorrect" or "correct". The question is would it be easier to transfer the information you are trying to transfer by using the most common, most shared dialect of English.
You can, but any shared address book needs to have a very clear scope of applicability. Basically: any users that are communicating need to either share the same registry, or have some clear indication that they aren't in order to avoid significant mishaps. I'm not totally sure how you accomplish that.

I think that's only for the Wi-Fi printing. The HP smart app is terrible and makes you sign up for features that work on a local network. I just visit my printer's internal web server with a desktop user agent to show the "remote scan" features. Printing over local Wi-Fi doesn't need the HP Smart app, just the HP print service plugin that doesn't require login (and also conveniently enables USB printing, if you want to use an OTG dongle with your phone).
Ha, love this one.
There's usually a competing site with the same product or service to use instead. I get about a 2% site fail rate with heavy blocking, and I'm OK with that. I've had third party cookies blocked for a decade, and that causes a lower fail rate than it used to.
If the only way to access the extra "less common" features is via touch, then it's a fail. Mazda has lots of menu options, and you can access it all via their click wheel. It's a great UI, and if you like touching, you can touch the screen too.
Its not increasing any attack surface, or can you construct a situation where it could be exploited?
My car was sitting in parking lots, being turned on and turned off, and driven around for about 12-14 hours per day towards the end there. That only happened for maybe 2 months. After I was finished and managed to land a better paying job, I ended up getting some much needed repairs on my car that would have not been fun to make up the cost of while I was delivering.
I'm appaled how the american propaganda machine convinces so many people that they're out there fighting for freedom and for the world. Obviously they have to protect their imperialistic interest in order for their hegemonic mastery over the world to make sense.

Yes, they're not as terrible as some more autocratic and despotic regimes. But it is naive to think that they're not an imperial force who would never commit any attrocities.

Just a remider, the USA government runs guantanamo.

Taxes creates demand for USD (an artificial way of giving fiat USD "value")
Some practical cases where you really need such a system:

A customer pays one product with two different sources of payment (gift card + visa, or one half with cash and the other with card)

You want to verify if the balance in the cash register, or on the credit card account are correct.

You already received money from a customer, but it will take some time until you can create the invoice (for example you want to print the serial number on it, and don’t know it yet), but for legal reasons you are not allowed to change an invoice later. So you have to record a payment without having an invoice yet.

The strange thing is that generally EU regulatory agencies will do preventative policy, putting controlling regulations on something because there is reasonable suspicion it will cause harm, whereas US agencies will do reactive policy, where it is basically a free-for-all until significant harm has been demonstrated.

The main reason to keep hydrocarbon fuels in a green-energy future is for their energy density. Rockets and airplanes will always want the best density and weight available, and that’s hydrocarbon fuel for now, barring some order-of-magnitude battery improvements. Hydrogen rockets are a thing, but their tanks are huge compared to methane or kerosene rockets.

I'm guessing that many of these are targeting Americans.

One of the weird side effects of being from a melting pot country only a few hundred years old is a yearning for connection to things that feel permanent and historical. "Owning" some land in Scotland and "having" a title may be appealing to an American who otherwise feels cut off from their Scottish ancestry or other longer-term cultural practices.
Running stuff well within its intended duty cycle is also a good way to get a long life out of something. I like to buy second hand enterprise gear, and I really never see failures out of anything that wasn't already worn out.
Countries that try to print money instead of collecting taxes usually end up with pretty bad inflation.
Kind of unrelated to the actual discussion but I just realised that I never minimize things on mac. I know what the yellow bubble does, never once clicked it, neither used the shortcut whatever it is.

Is this common? I used it on windows but for years now, I have a ton of windows on top of each other or I just cmd+w my way out of one.

Maybe this is the idiomatic way and I’m not an outlier though. Is it?
> Banks are also much more forgiving when it comes to down-payment, when they know it's going to be a rental, and you already have other rentals as collateral.

I don't think that's true. The interest rate on your loan will be more expensive if it's an investment property and the LTV requirements are more strict.
It's all relative, right? It doesn't get cold enough to build a snowman, but it gets cold enough to make a 5 year old shiver in a swimming pool.

Bad news from the Q&A section of one of the printers:

> impression that US is a nation of germophobes and FDA regulations

Germophobes I don't think so, but there's definitely something to be said about the way the regulations are setup to be protectionist of rural voter groups. And food production is a major chunk of those rural economies.

And a lot of cheese is made from excess milk, not the best milk because the best milk goes into the cold chain fresh. So it is politically convenient to make long lasting cheeses to keep the milk prices stable through the year and cut competition from outside importers (even Canada?).

The germs thing is a win-win on that respect. But if it had political negatives, the FDA would "find a way".

I think most people who use postgres in their personal projects have a snippet like one that they copy from project to project, I know I do. Curious to see others' scripts!

Mine logs in as `postgres`, creates the database and extensions I normally use, then creates a user and grants the appropriate privileges to that application user for the relevant db/schemas. Incidentally, it's the same script I use for "prod" deployments on my homelab.

Both? So for the tutorials they use a SQL initialization file stored in a GIST (our solution, but can be stored at any public storage url) and it loads that data and any other SQL setup commands in that file on startup to the database that exists in your local browser session only.
Is that where the idea of a wyvern comes from?

European dragons come in the more lizard+avian form (more recent), and the older, more serpent-like form (probably descended from ancient mythology going all the way back to the Fertile Crescent). The former isn't really an example of a "big snake" and the latter probably is the common source of lots of serpent like creatures, reducing the coincidence a bit (in the sense that it isn't surprising that myth-makers through history were inspired by each other).
> rust solves the issue of finding competent engineers

That's a very cynical take, but I think there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere. Rust does indeed make it much harder for less experienced programmers to make certain classes of mistakes. Why on earth would that be a bad thing?

> you can't shortcut this by...

"Using Rust" and "understanding the hardware"/"good architecture" are not mutually exclusive, and Rust is not a shortcut. Embedded programming is still very hard. In some ways, Rust can make it even more difficult by forcing your code and architecture to follow additional rules.

> cannot get around C or C++

Speaking from experience, this is false. It's perfectly possible to write embedded applications using only Rust and assembly, without a single line of C/C++. I do it every day.
The effects of lowering taxes on rental income is complicated.

If you lower the taxes on rental income, more people will buy houses (and build new ones!) to take advantage of the reduction in taxes. However, they will still have to rent the apartments/houses out at market prices. The rental price will go down because now there is a greater supply of houses, and renting out an apartment at a lower rent is equally profitable as before (since you don't have to pay as much in taxes).

The cost of purchasing a house, however will increase, because there are more landlords competing to purchase the house with you.

Overall, the real problem is zoning single family homes everywhere, and rent control that disincentivizes building new housing.
This is a welcome idea. Related, has anyone ever used the Cronometer app to track all their food intake? MyFitnessPal is similar except that Cronometer has a very clear listing of where you're at with your daily micronutrient needs given the food you've eaten. It's pretty cool to see that you're not getting enough of some micronutrient and then go and consume some food, track it in the app, and see that you're now where you need to be.
Lmao. That sounds like a very hard problem to solve in any case..

Alright, enough porn talk. I really like the UI. Please allow me to ask whether you plan on monetizing this, and if so, how?
Genuine question, why do buttons take so long when keyboards are so standardized ?

Mechanical keyboards have mastered haptics, replaceability and reliability over high repetitions. They could easily iterate over a mechanical keyboard housing that's custom, but the individual components within it stay completely interchangeable.

Also, why is it so hard to understand that touchscreens can be good if they've got haptics ? Is a mac-book-sized haptic-trigger motor THAT HARD to facilitate in a vehicle ? Is a blackberry like physically moving touchscreen a complete no-go ?

Lastly, I wonder if touchscreens can be used as a large capacitive backend to put physical buttons on top of. That way the UI can be designed independently, and the independently tested buttons get added last minute onto whichever grounding spot on the touchscreen is agreed upon by the designers.
Should be fixed now! We hit a rate limit a lot sooner than expected haha :)
It would be interesting to study distraction as a component of memory. I'm constantly forgetting short-term things. Dumb example: "Honey could you pick up milk on your way home?", but I forget to stop and get the milk. Why? Because I'm distracted working two jobs, getting the kids where they need to be, the magic mobile device in my pocket, weather that is 20 degrees hotter than it should be, and all the rest of the things in life that create distraction.

Point being, it's the cognitive overload of stuff that I notice gets in my way of remembering things more than age.
CISS's (Continuous Ink Supply System's) have been around for decades. You can buy pretty basic printers and retrofit them with a $100 system that will hold enough ink to print 10's of thousands of pages. The problem with this system is that the ink heads dry (quickly). If you're doing a lot of printing (daily / weekly) – a CISS is pretty much your bread and butter.

Refilling the ink in a CISS is pretty simple as well, just take your time.
You think it is a good thing for people to change for their colleagues? “i see you are offended by my bologna sandwich, forgive me, I will switch to filet mignon in order to make you feel more comfortable.” Ridiculous.

A well oiled ship has not a thing to do with superficial parts. People need to lose this ego & trying to control every little thing about those around them. It is a job, not a church or a dictatorship.

Do the job, be accepting and friendly. And eat your bologna sandwich if you damn well feel like it.

Also, filming yourself doing a good deed like taking food to a homeless person is embarrassing, and completely invalidates the “good deed.” You can easily judge that person. They are exploiting an under-classed human as a tool to further their social status, which anyone with a brain can easily recognize as low-class behavior.

Interesting. I assumed counties/cities are relatively free to set property tax rates according to their budget, and the city needing to compete with other cities is what keeps them relatively in line.
I always smile when a green field project starts and then they claim its “Clean Code”. No, you won’t known if it was clean code until years down and the system will need updates. Then and only then you can reflect and see how hard it was to changes things in it.
I find it interesting, there are no comments about the author's argument that programming today is inefficient as the most popular "model" are relational databases. "* I imagine this model as a relational database...it becomes clear that using a textual source code is really inefficient way to manipulate this model.*" It wasn't too long ago, object oriented programming, ORMs, and NOSQL was in fashion. I believe that was a dead end.

I don't believe relational databases are the end all or be all either. What has stood the test of time is the double entry accounting transaction journal entry. In this model, the journal entry is the system of record. And you can have multiple distributed systems creating these entries at the same time. You collect and aggregate these entries to display the "balance" at a specific point in time. To me, this is what Kafka distributed logs powerful. Distributed logs builds on a proven concept.
No kidding. If only he could bottle that up and sell it! If something goes wrong in one of my projects, I start thinking about giving up, but this guy doubles down.

Looking at the manual, the toner refill kit is entirely passive and has no electrical contacts or other authentication. That's just verbage to scare you into buying their refill kit instead of the inevitable generic version.

>Yes, but now the roads carry more people. You can't fix congestion, but you can make it so the roads can sustain the local population, even if they're traveling at 20mph during rush hour.

Yeah and then the city grows and you are back to square one, with insufficient road capacity to support everyone driving.

Widening roads is a bandaid fix, treating the symptoms and not the cause.

The real solution is to treat the root cause by making it easier for people to not drive.

1. I would bet at least half of all that wattage is the SSDs.

2. Buddy, you're spewing BS at someone who used to run a Haswell in a really small Mini-ITX case. It was a fine HTPC back in 2014. But now everything, bar my dead Pi, is some kind of Ryzen. All desktops and laptops. The various 4800u/5800u/6800u and lower parts offer tremendous performance at 15W nominal power levels. The 5800H I am writing this message on is hardly a guzzler, especially when compared to Intel's core11/12 parts.

This random drive-by intel shilling really took me by surprise.

Yes, in my experience, the naïve interpretation is right 80% of time and it is always best to start from a naïve explanation of a process.

US politicians serve the rich only because they think that donations will help them win. Make the donations irrelevant - "rich" will loose the political power. How to make the donations irrelevant - go to vote, especially if you are poor and powerless. Convince your friends to vote. And not for a president, but for a local mayor, city council, judge etc.
What’s with the shill accounts?
Are you spending an unreasonable amount of time managing property vs the rent you take in?

I spend a max of an hour a month on average on property management. Find good tenants (reduce the rent if you have to). On average my tenants have had 3+ year leases with minimal management.

Another thing, in countries that drives on the left (right-hand side driving) it's hard to use a touch screen using the left hand for most of the people. Physical buttons are always good, and makes use of muscle memory to operate without taking eyes from the road.

This reminds me of an experience with a former employer. Company A, heavy users of Salesforce, was acquired by company B, which was married to M$ Dynamics. On the day of the announcement, one of the bullet points was something like, "the new division will transition from Salesforce to Dynamics over the next three years."

I think it took three weeks for all of the Salesforce admins and most of the devs to quit. They had to hire a small army of contractors just to keep things running, and last I heard, the parent company ended up switching to Salesforce anyway. All they had to do was say, "We don't know what we're going to do yet," which besides saving them tons of money would've been literally true as well.
