All laws are social contracts. Of course they could force them to open up their trade secrets. It wouldn't even to be something extreme, Congress could just pass a law saying "discontinuing a commercial product requires publishing everything needed to maintain that product", and that would be that.
I found a pretty great Docker image for the SD webui. I was forced to extreme measures since NixOS isn't super friendly with Conda (and I was particularly lazy).

Worked out fine in the end, though. Highly recommended if you're on an Nvidia rig: https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker
Spybot has also been subsumed into some bloated "security center" type software. As far as I know there's nothing out there that does as efficient a job at hosts-level blocking as Spybot did back in the day.
Utility natural gas does tend to be regional. Where it's available, it's most often much less expensive to use natural gas for heating than electric resistance heating, although you usually have to pay more for the appliances. If electricity is inexpensive, gas is less desirable. Most gas appliances can be adapted to use propane, and propane deliveries are available in a wider area, but you probably want several propane appliances to justify the plumbing and the storage tank.

Electric heat pumps can be more cost effective than gas though, but there's details.

There is another way to reduce cognitive load, and that is to build tools that allow the user to directly manipulate the abstract syntax tree, and treat the source as a product of the manipulation. Source code can be a view of the AST, and an output of this tool.

DION was mentioned recently in a few threads, their demo[1] is quite impressive.

Yea, I have. But look designing something often comes from the heart. You see a need and dream of filling it as a foothold for the next person in their experience. It’s a conquest, for others. But someone that designs a new screwdriver, with a trillion already made, is in a different place. You can extrapolate the world view from what people create, or aspire to.

I second Wiha screwdrivers. I have been using them for years. In fact I am still using the set I purchased (Wiha #30299) that has every type of screw driver I you could come across in normal US products Slotted/Phillips/Torx/Pozidrive and Square). I keep them in my tool chest - been there for 21 years and still going. Bought $120! - https://bit.ly/3B7FtCn

I addition I am using the Wiha 26-IN-1 Tradesman multi bit screw driver - love it. Has every bit you would commonly need - I keep one in the office and one in the kitchen drawer. Fantastic tool - $36 - https://bit.ly/3q1sYCa

Can't see the point of spending this kind of money on this.
Depending on how flexible your definition of "GUI client" is, you should give Magit on Emacs a shot. The interface is primarily keyboard driven, rather than mouse driven (some basic mouse interactivity can be enabled). The learning curve is steeper, especially if you also need to learn the basics of Emacs (shouldn't take that long, really), but in the end I think it was totally worth it.

I have used Jetbrains' IDEs, the CLI with fish+abbreviations+fzf, Git kraken, tig, and SourceTree. I was not an Emacs user and Magit became the gateway drug that led me down that rabbit hole (I now have a 1000+ line literate config). I actually tried to stop using Emacs in order to unify my tooling but I couldn't wean myself off, just makes working with git way too easy for me.

Why is Magit good?

- First, it will appease those who suggest "just do it the CLI way" because Magit's "Transient" interface mostly just maps mnemonic keys to git commands and their respective flags. It does this while providing real-time hints/cheatsheet style documentation so it makes discovering some of git's functionality easier. As an example, if you want to fetch and prune from the command line, you would call `git fetch -p` or `git fetch --prune`. In Magit, just tap `f - p u` and you'll get the same thing. Interactive rebasing is also mostly done the same as doing it the CLI way.

- It has a lot of convenience functions for a lot of the standard git commands. While they might only represent a small percentage of your day-to-day workflow, it's nice when you can use it. For instance, sometimes I do all my "merging back into master" work so I can start a new branch, start working on a new feature, commit, but forgot that I was still on master. Rather than going through the usual hoops of starting a new branch with that commit and resetting master, Magit provides a "spin-off" and with just a few key strokes, your commit is in its own branch and master is back to normal. Commit extend/reword is another example of some of the small niceties that add up.

- It's all text. Some GUIs might have things you want to copy/paste but it's a button or graphical element, making you have to click on something else to make that text interactable. This also makes it pretty fast to work with.

I'm not saying Magit is the best git client, since that will largely depend on what you're looking for in a client, but at least for me it was. Give it a shot, see if you like it.
It's equally unfair to compare the round-trip load of an application that people expect to download on-demand, versus an application that is already installed on the client

There is no requirement that reactors use fresh water. And there is nothing that says fresh water can't be used after being used to cool a nuclear reactor. It's not like the fresh water is consumed.
This is the answer. The only people buying dedicated sound cards these days are those doing audio engineering or production work, needing access to dedicated inputs and interfaces. Motherboard sound chipsets cover nearly every other use case.
This brings to mind Permutation City (1994), where there exists interactive junk emails. The protagonist uses a program that automatically responds to these emails in a virtual environment in order to determine which ones are spam.

Income tax is slavery.

There are no limits to growth provided technology continues to increase productivity. If we were stuck with the same output, then productivity would scale linearly with the working age population, and in a shrinking-population world our quality of life would decrease.

Luckily it takes less people to make the same goods and services, year after year, enabling humanity to continue to prosper. This will continue forever barring some authoritarian government that artificially limits human ingenuity and work output.
The last time Germany was forced to pay crushing reparations it didn't end well. Let's not repeat history.
Also the kind of housing being built matters greatly. If cities continue to zone for single family homes, the increase to supply will not be significant.

Furthermore builders will need to be incentivized appropriately otherwise we'd get an abundance of luxury apartments (higher margins).
In my experience, tests are very important because without them it's much harder to make sure the existing logic is the same after a change or a refactor.

It's a great idea to keep in the back of one's mind how they are going to test what they are working on. TDD is a very structured way of doing that so it could be beneficial but not an absolute necessity.

Resumé/CV:
email: diegoaguilar+hn [at] ciudades.consulting

I collaborate as consultant and technical leader for software and cloud architecture projects. I have a strong background in backend and data engineering development, cloud, infrastructure and digital products.

Been in the Software Development and Cloud industry for over 8+ years collaborating in big scale projects that have impact in hundreds of thousands of people for projects of companies like Audible, Amazon Music, Neil Young Archives, Expansión, Spotify, iHeartRadio and P&G.

Authenticity, humility and professional attitude are the traits that I appreciate and encourage in work!
I wonder how well-motivated the OLAP use cases are.

Is there really a lot of demand of doing analytics on edge devices?

I see a windmill example in the introduction of a paper linked from the post above. Is that really a big thing in the windmill space? Are modern windmills needing to use embedded devices on them to perform real time analytics that would be enabled by OLAP engines and queries like that?

Are there other such cases that folks know where this would be very useful?
I'd argue that trend is reversing, just like it did in the 1960's.

Quality of life issues eventually drive people to live in the outer suburbs, further exacerbating issues within city cores (e.g. San Francisco right now).
You need to choose a working methodology that compliments how the work is done and also helps address pain points. Unless you're showing your clients how you work and using that work process as a selling point to build confidence, you probably don't want to be picking trendy styles of working over what's most appropriate.

All this isn't to say don't use TDD, it sounds like perhaps it's not beneficial to your team. How confident are you in that decision? Perhaps you don't have many defects, but will your product roadmap lead you to complexity that will have them in the future, necessitating better processes later? Processes take time to mature, so maybe now is the time to prepare? Maybe you have very few defects now, but are they expensive or cheap to resolve? I would be considering these questions and looking at TDDs strengths and considering whether it's able to help me.

Additionally, you mention end-to-end testing. So are you validating work by manual tests rather than code tests? How much time are these manual tests taking? How much can you offload to unit tests? Will unit tests offer certainty that manual testing does not? One other thing I can say from experience is that manual testing doesn't scale. Will that be a problem for you?
What makes you think this isn't already happening?
With all do respect this is bullshit.

Portugal has the 4th highest rate of emmigrated working age population in the EU27, only surpassed by Romania, Lithuania, Croatia.

Portugal had one of the single biggest brain drains in history post 2008 crisis. People have absolutely voted with their feet.

Those who stayed behind, either stayed because they benefit from the cronyism or are held back by family or lack of marketable skills.

In 30+ years of having computers I’ve had issues twice.

Once was on in the 3.11 days. Turned out the copy of KidPix we bought had a virus on the installation disks.

The other was in the late 2000s at work on XP. I got got some piece of malware (showed ads IIRC) from a drive by using a Java exploit in an applet showed by an ad network.

If you’re not doing high-risk stuff it’s not hard to avoid. But I’m glad MacOS has this built in just in case (like MSE on Windows).

Yeah who knew the solution to increased productivity was to have more, not to work less.
You can configure throttling in the bios if you have Skylake-X.
You can set it to whatever you want. The caveat being it won't necessarily be stable (depending on voltage) nor will your cooling necessarily be able to handle it.

The crypto ideal does not use custodial exchanges. Exchanges and brokerages have traditionally been regulated. They are convenient and not really the crypto ethos.
Sounds like schizophrenia. In my experience, there are a whole lot of schizophrenics who've taken psychedelics. I can't imagine what it's like to be schizophrenic, so I also can't imagine what it's like to be schizophrenic and take drugs, but it does seems to hit them extra-hard. I don't think the drugs cause anything that wasn't going to happen anyway, but it seems like people who might be in the early stages of schizophrenia come out the other side of a trip changed forever. Since schizophrenia tends to initially manifest in the late teens and early 20s, and this is the age most people start experimenting with drugs, it could be completely coincidental, but I still think LSD in particular pushes people over the line if they were headed there already.
Now, all we need for crystal to succeed is numpy, scipy, something pandas-like, and of course matplotlib (not plots, matplotlib).

By the way, how are we on data-science friendly IDEs? Debugging? Automatic thorough documentation generator? Tooling in general?
Is the time to first plot fast?

Where I work, we desperately need a fast python.
Gentrification is a "dysphemism" (opposite of euphemism). It's basically a buzzword made up to give a negative connotation to something that isn't inherently negative.

People move around. Some cities grow, others shrink. New jobs get created, old jobs disappear. Some housing gets more expensive, some housing gets cheaper. Some cities get wealthier, others get poorer.

We'd still be living in caves if our goal was to forever keep all cities and towns the exact same way they've always been. Which is basically the goal when people criticize "gentrification".
If you're comparing this against a magapro at $10 more, but with the specific bits I need, all you're doing is selling me a screwdriver.
You probably don’t care about the SEO ranking of the app just the landing/marketing pages.
Beware that such techniques slow down memory access for the newly running VM quite substantially.

For example, a simple memset() call across a few gigabytes of RAM inside the VM might slow down a factor of 1000x after a VM clone like this.

Both 'parent' and 'child' VM's see the slowdowns.

Some types of garbage collector also see really substantial slowdowns.

It was a deal-breaker for my project where I did similar sorts of things.

I attended a lecture by Buckminster Fuller when I was thirteen, in Burlington, VT. I was starstruck and inspired. I used a spaced repetition method to partially memorize his talk and reproduced part of it for my science class the following day.

He spoke about putting a dome over Winooski, and showed artists renditions of it. He bounced a tensegrity sphere. He spoke of his 50-year experiment (from the moment he chose not to commit suicide and instead see if he could do good in the world).

I have, all my life, been influenced by his slightly nutty intellectual spirit.
This is a very confusing, and then disappointing, article.

It starts by describing what is, essentially, plain javascript or how you'd use jQuery in the old days. Attaching events to the DOM at startup is not hydration.

Then it starts describing what seems to be React's particular flavour of hydration, where it re-renders the entire app before applying its diff/reconciliation algorithm. But in a very roundabout way, it's not clear what they are even talking about. Not every framework works like that. And, it's definitely not the heaviest part, diffing the DOM can be extremely fast. The slowness comes from, erm, everything else and just the sheer amount of code these frameworks run.

By the third section, I had the feeling this would be an advertisement for Qwik, because of the 'closure around app state' concept, and how they appear to believe that lazy loading everything is the best idea since sliced bread. Bingo :)

It’s a side-effect of preventing random unprivileged processes from being able to access possibly blu sensitive OS/user data without a prompt.

If you're using Julia and want something like this, you can try `LoopVectorization.vfilter`.

my partner was a consultant at Bain and regularly worked 100+ hour weeks in a small town outside of Dallas where he ate all his meals at a hotel. The day he left was one of the best of his life!

It's a definitely a lot more than being confident. There's a ton of important data skills, people management and strategy skills involved, and a lot of times your "clients" are not on your side. It's pretty common for a CEO or department head to hire a consultant to work with a department that's not doing well, so the folks you actually end up working with can resent you (especially when they know how much you're getting paid).
This is an egregious misreading of the parent comment.

Someone in a position of economic vulnerability isn't going to invest in housing to rent out if there is a non-insignificant chance of damage to the property.

Moreover, this uncertainty has the perverse outcome of pushing the potential small landlord to use his funds to invest in something like a real estate investment fund - which will result in less local control over housing.

> The email, which was recently disclosed during discovery in a federal lawsuit that Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed in May, vividly illustrates how the Biden administration engages in censorship by proxy, pressuring social media platforms to implement speech restrictions that would be flagrantly unconstitutional if the government tried to impose them directly. Landry and Schmitt, both Republicans, argue that such pressure violates the First Amendment.

> Judging from the examples that Schmitt cites, the tenor of these communications has been cordial and collaborative. The social media companies are at pains to show that they share the government's goals, which is precisely the problem. Given the broad powers that the federal government has to make life difficult for these businesses through public criticism, litigation, regulation, and legislation, the Biden administration's "asks" for stricter moderation are tantamount to commands. The administration expects obsequious compliance, and that is what it gets.

I've never seen anything labeled that ever, so even if the issue technically existed it wasn't a problem in practice the way the USB 3 rebranding has been.
You don't need a dinning room. That's a luxury feature.

That is not true.

Mēh. Perhaps. But then Enterprise IT is not doing its job.

You should not bring your own tools to do this sort of job. We need to be professionals, not enthusiastic amateurs.

Out of all the programming languages coming out these days, Crystal is the one I am watching out for. I've never programmed with Ruby, but I have programmed with Python in the past so I really value the focus on programmer friendly syntax that Python taught me. Currently a Golang a programmer and I love the performance plus binary executables!

From my experience so far Crystal feels like a performant language with the wonderful feel of Python. Definitely check this language out if this is the first time you're hearing about it.
