There's some, but it's not... great. The two highest profile studies I know of are:

"A Large-Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in Github" [1]: Finds significant differences in defect rate between typed and untyped languages. It stood for a while before replicators tore it apart. Among other things, they counted the v8 engine as a javascript project, counted seventeen forks of Bitcoin as distinct projects, and counted commits like "add infix operator" as a sign of a defect (because it has "fix" in it). I wrote a bunch about the study here: https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/this-is-how-science-happens...

"To Type Or Not to Type" [2]: Finds that Typescript catches 15% of bugs missed in Javascript repos. Haven't dug into this as much, but I'm suspicious of it because they didn't seem to do any quality control. One of the codebases they studied, for example, is a junior dev's minesweeper game.[3]

Right now there's a lot of case studies of companies happy with typescript/mypy, which I take as tentative evidence that type systems are on the whole beneficial, but I'm also open to the tide changing in 4-5 years.

I second Bahubali

but please do not waste your time watching KGF. It’s just a series of hype scenes made for tik tok recreation. Not a movie. Has great music though
There UI is frustrating to use because none of the links are actually <a> tags but JS divs. It makes it hard to open links in new tabs or copy them.
For most people, the Apple Watch current gens don't have the battery life to last through a single full marathon (about 4-5 hours) with continuous GPS tracking.

Meanwhile, even the cheapest Garmin has the battery life to survive a triathlon (10-12 hours of continuous GPS), and the highest-tier Garmins can handle several continuous days of GPS activity.

That doesn't even take into account the fragility of Apple Watches. It's great that Apple provides such "generous" repair policies for these devices, since every single AW owner I know has had to have their AW watch repaired...multiple times...for trivial things. For "scratch proof" screens, the Apple Watches get scratched up more easily than any watch I've ever seen; and don't even try to drop them a few feet. A drop onto rock or concrete that wouldn't phase a Garmin or Polar will shatter an AW.

And specifically to note with respect to ultras: at the Badwater Ultra (a 135 mile run in Death Valley in the summer), the temperatures got so hot that the AW watches worn by people acting as support crews for runners overheated and stopped working. Meanwhile, the watches worn by the athletes (mostly Garmins, but with some Polars and Suuntos in the mix) kept going strong.
I suggest a tax cut for myself. The benefits will trickle down to society and they'll build a new public square.
Any laser that’s powerful enough to do that would leave an IR trail back to the source which would be visible with FLIR and most likely even with the naked eye due to the atmospheric effects of heating up the air.
I highly recommend yunohost. I am using it since a few years, after a lot of years of maintaining my own "classic" mail + web server by hand [1].

I deploy it in an unprivileged LXC container [2] and went through several upgrades already. It really worked great for me.

you don't need a domain and a web host to comunicate.

it's easier, nobody can deny that, but phone companies don't sell you a name, they sell you an address and the right to use the pipes.

if people have the will they have the means.

freedom of speech doesn't mean that speech should be provided free of charge by private companies.

But honestly you can move your domain on any maintainer you want.
> There's always going to be some sort of sampling bias

I don't agree, I think we'll get pretty good at this.

I agree there currently is pretty much always a sampling bias, though. Maybe the exception is when the study samples a particular group already, rather than the population at large.
Here is my latest life hack that I have been using. Pick a major from MIT and see their degree program to form a basic knowledge graph of the major. Find them on https://ocw.mit.edu/ and study yourself. Usually, taking 1-2 classes gives you a great insight in to any topic so that you can at least collaborate better with the experts of those topics in a team environment.
I watched this movie and visual feast for audience. Nice to see they used Blender pipeline for Visuals.
The very last thread I was in somebody was expressing how unsympathetic they were to the scammed because they were stupid enough to get tricked. This wasn't a very popular notion, most people wanted to sanction scammers for their speech to protect the scammed.

Quite a lot of the laws around restriction of speech are specifically designed to stop smart people from exploiting less smart people. Smart people have to be censored or they will hurt less smart people.
> probably for “Kannad” instead of Kannada

Yup. It's inconsequential but I find it very grating.

> and if KGF 2 is any indication, they should stop making movies altogether

I absolutely hated KGF 1 and didn't bother with the sequel. I honestly don't understand why people compare it to RRR.
‘eastdakota:

How would you candidly compare guarantees/expectations of Mullvad VPN vs your Cloudflare Warp VPN with respect to:

- privacy, but also

- performance.

As a side note, I really value using a certain popular torrent box VM service for $10/mo is that they provide SSH and OpenVPN. I’ve used that VPN a lot when I worked in GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain) to help me get around national HTTP blocklists. Most every other VPN I tried was blocked, or would get blocked after a certain # of GB sent in a certain timespan. I think the torrent box servers were located in minor data centers which weren’t on their list of “high potential risk” so they bypassed the otherwise pretty thorough blocks.

The server I used was also located in the United States which helped a ton with proper localization and accessing my bank accounts/etc which were otherwise sometimes more difficult to use from other countries.
Agree, I feel as though it should, itself, be a container, that manages a docker-compose file, then manages the apps using appropriate docker-compose commands. All tested against podman as well.

Then the tool could be used readily on the many docker appliances (Synology, Qnap, etc.).
iPhones don't have dual-band GNSS already?! You can get tri-band Android phones for far less than the cheapest iPhone 13.

Yeah. Never used Oracle Forms but did use Delphi a lot. Borland never tried to solve distribution any better than Microsoft did. These firms were born in the era when "shipping" was meant literally and showed no interest in the problem of how to change software more than once every few years. Then people realized you could iterate a web app every day if you wanted to, the way they worked gave you total insight into what users were actually doing, you could use scripting languages better than VB and more. Businesses wanted the agility, devs wanted to use UNIX and Perl instead of VB/Delphi and the web was off to the races.

There were other issues of course, it wasn't just about distribution. Too bad so many downsides came along with the upsides. The real goal for OS research should be IMHO to find ways to combine what people like about web dev with what people like about desktop/mobile dev. All the action is above the POSIX layer.
Except that's not a senior discount, as anyone can join AARP.

I thought about this a few days ago and I thought it might start of as a new movie type were people will accept a more dreamlike style of movie. Coherent enough to see it as a movie but with a new form of artifacts. Like small details change but it's still okay for us.

On the other hand, I have seen enough papers who also address aspects like coherence in style, object tracking and other aspects.

I don't think we are far away at all.

More like how long until performance for quick feedback is fast enough, cheap enough etc.
Basically spatial oversampling at this point then.

Does anyone here have any insights or opinions on L5 only navigation? oneNav seems to think it's better than L1+L5, citing lower complexity and power usage, but with maintained accuracy. Sounds too good to be true, will devices skip the L1 band eventually?

I like Blackjack and I'm even working on porting some of my Rust geometry code to Blackjack nodes. But calling it a Houdini alternative is, pardon my French, BS. :)

Blackjack atm covers less than <1% of Houdini's modeling toolset. And modeling is the least used part of Houdini in VFX (less so in games, i.e. for massive open world building etc.)

Houdini is usually used for what is called FX/effects in VFX. I.e. fire, water, explosions, destructions. Also crowd stuff is not seldomly done in Houdini.
Okay, I just sent it. It was the only epub I happened to have on hand.

Military stuff can be moving, sometimes quickly, so more accuracy at one point in the trajectory could result in more accuracy later on
There also is a simple explanation for it, pilots are quite reliant these days on sensor data if the sensors telling them that there is something there their brains might fill the gap.

Also pilots have been reporting seeing UFOs for nearly 100 years, arguably this is one of the first times we have some sensor data to back visual reports.
The Popper quote, I’m guessing:

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

As long as there are more tolerant than intolerant, then everything’s ok, right?

Why does a society create intolerance? maybe we should remedy that.
> this community complains incessantly about things like

Different people in this community have different opinions. I think tech interviews are fine the way they are and I believe that my management chain is doing the right things for the company -- I think our promo process generally works OK, I'm not micromanaged, my oncall expectations are reasonable, there is no forced attrition, etc. If I didn't have faith in my management chain, I would leave (as I have done before).

> "I am a rockstar god."

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the value you bring to your company should stand on its own two feet. I don't think my employer should give in to employee demands unless it is a net benefit for the business, because the company's success is my success (via stock appreciation). If my employer consistently makes the wrong call in either direction, then they'll fail, and that's OK -- if I think they're headed in the wrong direction, I can leave.

"Good business decision" is defined by whether or not it helps the company succeed in the long term. I want my employer to make good business decisions, always, even when it means making tradeoffs regarding employees.
I think it's the same reason audio is processed at 192 kHz --- basically oversampling to make anti-aliasing less of an issue.
Sounds like a solid plan (the scale model looks better than the 3D renders)

> Why are they getting so big?" he asks. "What's happening is that it installation and maintenance costs are so insane for these turbines, that you'd rather install and maintain one giant one than two medium ones. But those costs don't apply to us. And there's something called the square-cube law; when you double the size of a turbine design, you increase the swept area of the rotor by four times – but the weight goes up eight times, because you're doubling the height, width and length of every part in three dimensions. So it's actually a losing proposition to go too big for us. We're probably going to find our sweet spot with the lowest cost at somewhere around 7-8 megawatts."

But, seems like they're a pretty small outfit and have no actual business as yet.

many attorneys are part of some company of attorneys, which has side effects a.k.a. specialization; in some of the more contentious legal specialties there is public profiling of attorneys who represent certain sides of the argument.

So .. perhaps the profession itself could be said to take money from both sides, but many times, in practice, an individual attorney does not or cannot...

My favorite comparison now is to look at what the Indian Mars Orbiter Mission cost.

It cost $73 million (according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission)
RRR's budget was $72 million (according to Wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRR_(film))

Seems a bit crazy with that comparison.
Not my field per se, but in a college course they had us read "All I Need to Know About Manufacturing I Learned in Joe's Garage"

The entire book was a short, simple allegory about Lean manufacturing that walks you through exactly why Lean is so powerful, in a direct comparison to traditional methods. The book was written to be handed out to dumb auto executives.

I still think about the book a lot today even in the software world.
"Hate speech" is free speech. If I hate someone, then that's my God-given right to believe what I want and express my opinion, no matter how unwise that opinion is. If I commit or threaten violence, then I am breaking the law, and you can throw me in jail. But not a moment before
Is their DDOS service censored?
Same reason as they offer free TLS termination. Someone is paying for all of that unencrypted and/or de-anonymized traffic across an increasingly

I haven’t seen any book banning per-se. I’ve seen removal of offering them for free using public funds or using certain material to education children.. So, libraries or curriculums, which are not a first amendment issue.

> banning of talking about LGBT topics in school.

I saw Florida law stopped discussing it AND not telling parents, prior to 10 or 12 (forget final age). Again, limitations on educators are not the same thing.

We always limit access of information to children as they develop. We don’t show them death or sex at a young age because it’s been shown to have some negative effects.

That’s fundamentally different than banning people from using the public square to discuss topics.
You have to learn one thing about the internet, it's full of loud mouthed polarized trolls. Most people feel like you.
Capitalist exploitation of our natural resources is causing disasters and untold suffering all over the planet.

Hundreds of millions have been displaced by floods in Bangladesh this year alone. Forests everywhere are on fire. We have "draughts of the century" every year now. Hurricanes are more destructive than ever.

Meanwhile, sweat shop workers building the cheap junk we've gotten addicted to are committing suicide because they can't bear their conditions, a problem so out of hand factories are putting up nets to catch window jumpers.

We're rapidly racing towards the edge of the cliff. If we don't change something drastically, we're all doomed. That's not a system that's working out by any reasonable metric.
It's literally trivial to have your own twitter/facebook/youtube analog. You can in turn spread information about its existence through exciting means like email.

You aren't entitled to an audience of hundreds of millions and indeed have never in the history of free speech been entitled to such.
You can also read comments via rss, but I see that might just be to much effort.
> can the government enforce that the software has to be written a certain way?

The government is unlikely to be able to enforce that. PGP was exported in printed form (as a book published by MIT press) even though it was prohibited from export as a munition. No charges were filed. I wouldn't expect to see books of bitcoin source (or whatever) confiscated either.

Running the software may be prohibited, and enforcement of that could happen. Plenty of people get in trouble for running networked software that causes problems.

Realisticaly, it makes more sense to audit high energy use customers, and see if you can reduce their use. When you find crypto farms, confiscate and destroy or whatever. That and tracking of the exchanges, etc.
Apple's "up to 36 hours" of battery life assumes 1 hour of workouts (i.e. using the GPS). By comparison a Garmin Fenix 7 is rated for 57 hours with the GPS on. And that's not even using the reduced polling rate to extend usage. Using the GPS is a huge battery hog on these devices.

For people doing things like ultramarathons or other extreme long distance events and want to track the whole damn thing it could become a problem.
do you mind sharing what the legal forum is? Also the internet is privately run (at least in the USA) and there is nothing keeping people from setting up a host and running their own forum there. If Gab can Truth social can stay up with all their calls-to-arms and domestic terrorism posts calling it "freedom of speech" I'm sure this forum can find a similar hosting service that allows anything.
I can only speak for my own education (in the UK) where free speech wasn't really drilled into me as a valuable right, and as such I can understand why people don't understand its importance. Topics like this fall into what in the UK is categorised as PSHE (Personal, social, health, and economic). Unlike other subjects, it was not a GCSE meaning that there was no exam to be taken, and you would not receive a qualification at the end. As such, it was often given the minimum amount of time the school could possibly allocate on the timetable. There were no specialist teachers for the subject; teachers of other subjects would have to teach it. And come to think of it, I was seldom taught about some of our most valuable rights like our right to free speech, our right to a fair trial, and our right to vote.

When it comes to free speech, many hear speech they deem to be abhorrent, and thus their reaction is that it ought not to be legal to say. And this feeling is understandable but perhaps demonstrates that the individual has not been educated on why to value freedom of speech. They often do not understand how dangerous it can be to allow someone to decide which speech can, and can't be allowed.

Additionally, I have been reading the book Fake Law, and what I have found striking is that large parts of the public are completely uneducated about the law, and why access to justice is important, and I myself learnt new things from the book. But the book also demonstrates how the media, and in turn politicians exploit this lack of education to slowly take away our rights, and restrict our access to justice. And this makes me reflect on my own education, and I now wonder whether that was intentional.
There are many cases of not being allowed to say certain things as an employee or representative of an entity but I don't consider them infringements on "free speech" in general.

I'm sure after work these teachers can say whatever they like.
> I'm curious what the wince is for

The language is called Kannada. Schwa deletion turns it into Kannad which sounds grating and seeing it written without the a is even worse.

I'll just say Sturgeon's law applies.
We could say not just banks for rich people but most companies where software is not a product (money-generating part) are bad at IT (general trend: cost-centers are neglected).

The methodological flaw here is amusingly it’s own fascinating study: using some verbal sophistication proxy as a cognitive ability proxy to correlate political attitudes is arguably the key feature of modern hyper-polarized, Internet-speed news cycle politics.

It’s difficult to watch a screen without hearing some version of “most people are stupid”. This is deeply wrong: most people are very smart, but this is difficult for the well-educated, because most people are inarticulate.

Surviving, let alone reproducing in meaningful numbers, has almost always been a ruthless selection process on intelligence, but hyper-literacy is a path to high status that has only recently become available to people in large numbers, and even then only in some places (in the US where I live, smarty-pants hyper-literacy is dramatically higher status on the urban coasts for example).

This is why so many of my fellow coastal lefties are always befuddled if not enraged that huge blocks of the rest of the country (and world) vote with their ballots or feet or both for very poorly-articulated policies and agendas: the (to borrow a dangerous phrase) “sullen, silent majority” understands why “progress” is bad for them, but doesn’t articulate it well. This leads to a combination of feeling obviously right, but getting trounced at the polls rather often.
Cars also do dead reckoning with wheel and steering data so you get pretty decent data in tunnels where basic GPS fails.
I care! As an open source advocate, it is important to me to see Blender being used in successful feature films, regardless of the artistic merits of the film itself.

I’d like to read / listen to them.
The paradox of tolerance explains how in an open society, when one ideology dismisses rational thought and discussion and opts to, instead, silence opposition, society must be intolerant of that ideology in order to be tolerant itself, because if it allows intolerance then it will become less tolerant itself.

That is the paradox. In order to be as tolerant as possible you must not be as tolerant as possible.

This formulation is very often misquoted, interpreted to mean that a tolerant society must repress bigoted beliefs. That leads to no paradox at all, the term "tolerance" is used with different meanings in order to misconstrue a formulation. In doing so, people misquoting are being what the first, correct formulation warns us about.

It is a quite ironic phenomenon, people use an argument of authority that actually states the complete opposite of what they want. I don't think it is hypocritical to support the correct formulation and, thus, silence people positing the incorrect one.

Not that I downvoted him, not that I can, not that I would, I believe these matters to be better left out in the open, but I don't think it's hypocritical.
