Interesting question to me is whether it's actually in part fundamental to the success of Python. There are plenty of "clean" ecosystems that avoid at least some of these issues. But in generally they fail to thrive in these type of spaces and people keep coming back to ecosystems that are messier.

Is it possible that creativity and innovation actually require a level of chaos to succeed? Or alternatively, that chaos is an inevitable byproduct of creativity and innovation, and any ecosystem where these are heavily frowned on deters the type of people who actually drive the cutting edge forward?

Just putting it out there as food for thought. It does translate back to quite often, that it acutally does make a lot of sense to do your prototyping and experimenting in one ecosystem but then leave that behind to deploy your production workloads where possible.
They are a scammer. Don't be surprised if you get scammed.
LOL, ARM’s lawyers quoted me. Page 9, paragraph 32, footnote 9
That might be more relevant if Ehrlich was one of the authors of The Limits to Growth.
Problem is it is a niche too small to support the customization needed. There are plenty of engines that are better in one aspect and we know that all needed aspects can be combined into one, but the engineering cost to do that is so high that you couldn't charge a reasonable price for the engine and still break even on R&D.

This is similar to the Thermomix approach (which also uses induction) but has a basket, etc. There we take 14 minutes and 400 grams of water (it weighs the water). It's an incredible machine.
Data science is a domain crystal could excel in. Having both an approachable syntax and the feedback that the compiler and type system provides makes it an excellent companion for that work.

There's some interesting things you can do with the type system too, like capturing dimensionality in the type: https://git.sr.ht/~kb/matrix/tree/main/item/src/matrix.cr

You left out lead poisoning (unless that's included in "self inflicted accidental poisoning").

Yeah, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We can't run a natural experiment where everything but that one thing goes wrong, and see if Rome survives. Kind of like a very old organism whose health just goes off the cliff.
That's fair. thanks for the clarification!
This coup is supported by the current administration of the US of A - you can ask your friendly, neighbourhood retired intelligence officers for their analysis. Imran Khan was causing issues and he was ousted with US support. There is nothing you can do against the American state when it decides on "regime change".
Isn't that why it's steam? You keep the cold eggs above the steam, so that never changes temperature.
The last pci soundcard I had was the Razer Barracuda AC-1 [1] which I really wish I had kept now. Paired with the headset it was made for, the Barracuda, it was at the time a pretty amazing piece of hardware for the price. I think software is just eating lots of things...

No such thing as a perfect hard boiled egg - by definition you’ve already ruined it
Dunno about "we", but I learned to recognize self-serving bullshit when I see it, from people who have no concern for my aspirations in particular, and those of humanity in general, only their own, and those of those paying their way with the fruits of your and my labor. Too bad their only aspiration in the end is just that, sticking their heads further up their asses, dragging along as many of the rest of us as they can.

What's next is more of the same, as we've seen over the last few years.
No sorry. How about some kind of sterilization procedure?

This complaint is getting old. Java GCs have become really good. I've seen more issues on startup with empty connection pools, empty caches, and no compiled code than GC pauses.
Yeah, back in that era there were products from Ensoniq and such that weren't popular with PC gamers, but were totally solid hardware for music.

If this prevents spark plug fowling as claimed it will be great and brings back a fond memory. During the Sydney Olympics in 2000 I flew a Piper Warrier over the Hawksbury River north of Sydney and the engine started missing - quite possibly due to this issue. A bit of a nervous prospect as there is basically nowhere to land there. At the time there was a huge air exclusion zone over the Olympic Park and there was excited talk of how quickly jets would be dispatched to shoot you down if you violated the airspace. Anyway, the moment we reported engine trouble we were given clearance to head straight back to Bankstown - pretty much right over the top of the games. Good times!
I just stick my eggs directly into the kettle.

- Four large eggs in the kettle

- Add cold water so they're fully covered

- Switch on kettle

- Once boiled, set a timer for six minutes

- After those six minutes, empty water, and fill kettle with cold water again to cool the eggs

You now have four soft-boiled eggs.
> We're on track for exactly what the book predicted

First, the "predictions" have been well massaged as more data came in. The original predictions said we would already have hit "collapse" some time ago.

Second, the "predictions" your references show are the same as those of alternate models that do not predict an imminent collapse. (All of these models, suitably adjusted to reflect the latest data, predict growth up to now, which is what the data shows. The alternate models simply predict a leveling off as population growth stops, not due to "collapse" but due to the fact that increasing wealth leads to lower birth rates.) So all of these models are useless for telling us whether a collapse is actually imminent or not. The fact is that we simply do not have that kind of predictive power using models.

My work has mostly focused around the design, development, and support of databases. I'd like to continue this in the future but be able to branch out into a wider array of technologies and broaden my skillset. Working in an organization that faces unique challenges from operating at large scale is something I'm keen to be a part of.
It seems to me to be peak shortsightedness to argue in favor of connecting energy grids in that manner, when we're seeing the failure modes of doing so right now in Europe as a result of the Ukraine war.
My anecdotal experience is that it briefly gets better, then much worse. Build scripts downloading tarballs from dead URLs and dependencies on unspecified versions of libraries that have since had breaking API changes are frequent issues.

…it’s still awesome that people put in the effort to do these things at all, but the tools often have a tendency to make me feel like an archaeologist trying to piece what ancient artifacts are missing and how they were supposed to all fit together.
I'm not convinced there is any non derivative asset class that can act as a hedge against inflation.

Perhaps some derivative securities are (put options, swaps, maybe even trading currencies?) but these all have a premium and some have time decay with an end date (and a renewal thereafter if you decide you want to continue hedging against inflation). They all require good timing which we all know is not really possible. By the time you're feeling the inflation, the premiums for any of these are too high to likely to be worthwhile.

Put options are far more accessible to non institutional traders but more more complex securities (swaps, currencies, and other derivatives) are not.

The only other instrument I can think of are inverse ETFs (short positioned ETFs like SARK which is the short ARK ETF) or volatility indexes.

All this is to say - I don't try to worry too much about this. Inflation is an issue certainly - but one that can be more easily fought by improving your income (promotions, switching jobs, additional income streams etc).

What certainly doesn't act as an inflation hedge are cryptocurrencies (despite at least bitcoin's inherent deflationary nature once all of it is mined). Perhaps at that point bitcoin will be an inflation hedge but we have a few decades until we find out.

What is tricky about inflation today is up until recently interest rates were incredibly low so there has been no other option except the market. Now bond rates are starting to come up but are still quite low to be attractive (for me at least - unless you have a significant amount of cash to make it worthwhile) though the guaranteed income stream from them may be more attractive compared to a wildly fluctuating market. Even with this, the 2-4% return on a bond still unfortunately yields a negative real term rate.
The result is bad though, for the same reason you can't generate video with it. Comic panels need to relate to each other; you can't simply make them out of random images. There aren't sufficient style controls to do that with current technology, even if Midjourney added in "textual inversion".
>. My opinion, if you need a warrant to perform the investigation yourself, you need that warrant regardless of how you are going to obtain that data.

While I agree, I do understand that legally this is somewhat tricky. As long as the data remains publicly available, I can't see how to outlaw law enforcement from getting their hands on it, if we ban the agencies from buying it you'll just see fusion centers or private outreach groups buy it and gift the police.

So do we ban the sale of such data? I'm in favor of that, but it's both going to be really difficult to pass a law that can run ads saying "this bill wants to triple the cost of your cell service" and outlawing the sale could give an advantage to those capabilities of collecting on their own.

Which leaves us with banning the collection of that data, another thing I'm in favor of that I think will be impossible to pass.
Whoa now! Just because they’ve got a bizarre phobia doesn’t mean that we’ve got to jump straight to sterilization. (Do we even know if the phobia is heritable?)

I like Kenji's approach to making hard-boiled eggs: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boil...
That tends to make the shell sticking much worse. Kenji has a huge article he did for the NYT where he tested all this stuff at scale with like 150 people cooking eggs.

You don't need the water going at a violent roll or anything, just when you see big bubbles going bottom to top is fine. You lower the eggs in with a spoon. There's no danger.
I keep seeing articles reminding us how hard various things are for young people and keep asking myself, "Who ever said it wouldn't be hard? Being young is hard. Life is hard." But obviously someone is saying this or it wouldn't be a thing, right? The author himself admits to implying it to his kid.

Is it generational? I could see how for example, boomers and gen-X, who grew up in relatively good times (in the USA, at least) could be conveying higher expectations to their kids while the older generations (Silent and Greatest) could have been more cautious about assuming things would be good.

My parents lived through the great depression and WWII. Their attitude was not "things will be great!" It was more like, "If you're diligent and frugal and focus on what's important, you can be happy, but shit could go bad at any time so keep your eyes open!" [Edit: they both went to college and grad school, btw, but their attitude was that you go there and work hard, and if you do well it'll be fun sometimes.]

But I don't think these attitudes transfer through generations. I'm wondering if I've given my teen unrealistic expectations about being happy, just because I've been fairly happy. I've tried to take the attitude that she shouldn't sweat it when things don't go great because that happens to everyone and we can get through it. But maybe she interpreted that as, "It's not really normal for things to be hard, so if they're hard for me, it must be my fault."
A legal bypass is still a bypass.

Maybe some of the old styles of tools, but applied to niches, particularly new niches.

Gaming comes to mind. Many of these games can benefit from custom 3rd-party tooling. The Destiny 2 app ecosystem is pretty robust, for example.

Blockchain? Addons for new ecosystems, like Shopify?

Anyway I'm also interested in this topic, thanks for posting.
One surprising thing about the macbook I got last year is how often I find it burning hot with the fan going crazy despite the lid having been closed for hours. Is this in any way related to the malware scanning? The computer has been like this from the start, so I'm pretty confident it's not related to anything I changed/added.
> This is confused. Diffusion is orthogonal to NeRF.

Also, diffusion models learn to remove noise (guided by a description of the undiffused image), not add it.

Though, it seems you don't have to use noise as the information destruction mechanism; blurring works, and I wonder if there isn't something better for animation.

The London police arrested a trans activist and later apologized after she was targeted by kiwi farms.

There's one citation.

Byuu/Near, the author of the incredible bsnes project, was harassed to suicide by kiwi farms.

https://kotaku.com/the-brilliant-snes-emulator-creator-known...

The site posted the video and manifesto of the Christchurch shooting.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/website-kiwi-farms...

So there, three different citations that, themselves link out to other news and reputable primary sources showing the site, including the owner of the site, are involved in stochastic terrorism and, quote, "the exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement".
Sure. But it's a market. It's possible for consumers to exercise their preference. And overwhelmingly they don't care about this stuff.
Huggingface
or ORM should be only abstracting the slightly different syntax of different database vendor's sql implementation, not the actual mapping of objects or fields to database values.

I think the database's query results should be exposed directly, so that the developer could control the DB properly and directly (such as get access to cursors, etc)

Number of active GA aircraft in US: 220,000 [0]

The CO2 impact of GA doesn't even rise to the level of "in the noise" compared to that of cars. This doesn't make it good, but it does make the problem low priority.
Did you read the book? Or at least the wikipedia page?

Here's a fairly recent paper with recent data comparing actual historical data to the book's predictions: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.13084

Quoting from the abstract:

> The two scenarios aligning most closely with observed data indicate a halt in welfare, food, and industrial production over the next decade or so, which puts into question the suitability of continuous economic growth as humanity's goal in the twenty-first century.

I could dig up more sources/data but I'm guessing you aren't going to read them since you certainly haven't read the book.
I’m kind of curious if AWS is ever going to launch a firecracker as a service thing independent from lambda. It would be wonderful for CI or other tasks where you want to rapidly spin up a box and you don’t know how long it needs to be up. EC2 and Fargate take enormous amounts of time to provision compared to firecracker.
One mismanufactured cable away from a fire I imagine. There’s a review on Amazon by a (at least at the time) Google of a specific USB-C cable that would burn out the USB-C port on MacBooks because the cable wasn’t manufactured well. In fact, that guy has many many reviews on Amazon of the various defects in various cables (he stopped once that cable burned out his port).
If you ask for something "reflective" or "in a hall of mirrors" it tends to work, though it often seems like a screen-space effect as it tends to draw the front of objects rather than their back in the reflection.

Doesn't end up mattering. 38F vs 70F is a small gap vs 210F.

Same rule applies with steak, and yes, I know you can find a bazillion clips of Gordon Ramsey et all saying it's super necessary. Ignore them. Listen to the people who actually tested it with measurements. You can leak a steak on the counter for 2 hours and it'll not have drifted up in temp enough to matter.

A charitable read of the chef folklore is that setting it out, salting it, then letting it supposedly temper actually just allows time for the salt to absorb in, which does make a very clear difference.

You don't need to trust the "experts" you can look at the data which is publicly available.

> Ogmundson used official B.C. government data on property transfer taxes.

Previously the government didn't track details around who was buying homes, and this is something that changed along with the foreign buyer tax.

Python is pretty much innocent here.
Ok so the solution is obvious. We form the Federation Advocating Reasonable Cables and abduct USB-IF members.

Then, we guarantee their safe release given one condition: Anyone whose grandma mails us a fully compliant USB cable gets to go free.

I guarantee the standards body will come to their senses shortly.
How much more would each cable cost if they all had to do the max feature set? 100W, 80Gps, support for everything.

Is there anything the requires them to not all support the max feature set, apart from cost - some use case that would break, or be dangerous, or be mutually incompatible with another feature?

There may very well be 0 web developers on the staffs of these newspapers. They could have bought 3rd party software, or they could have paid a consulting company to build a custom news site. In either case, your simple fix is not so simple. Even knowing that not setting cookies for EU users could be a high bar, and actually implementing is far out of reach. Say they go to the original consultant, who tells them they can pay $xx,000 to have GDPR compliance, or $x,000 to block EU users. Hopefully this starts making more sense.

GDPR looks easy to comply with if you imagine you work for the newspaper. Instead, imagine that you literally are the person who currently works for the newspaper and it will become a bit more clear why they've made the decisions they've made.
