> The issue isn't euthanasia, it is that living conditions of the poor are untenable. The solution shouldn't be to force them to live a long life through government enforced misery, should it?

What about the solution where poor people also have a somewhat liveable life with no government enforced misery ?

Should the poor live untenable lives is the fundamental disagreement between you and the author I think.
okay, thanks for the tips! i was looking at the mobile-friendly Linux podcast apps last month and had mixed experiences. passed over gpodder because i saw a sqlite database and thought it'd be hard to configure externally. but i just installed it on my Pinephone and great first impressions! i'll take a look at integrating this into my nix config after i try it out a bit more, maybe make some wrapper that ingests some external OPML on start. i'll swing by IRC if i have anything worth sharing or get blocked :^)

Midterms are coming up in the USA, expect the people in the tech companies to steer the technology in a direction that helps the party of virtue
Google smashed their own toys; the approach was fundamentally flawed from the start, they tried to make a go of it anyway, it didn't work correctly (which they should have known would happen, and were repeatedly told it would), and they tossed out the idea and reimplemented it correctly.

It's not "two megacorps" disagreeing, it's "supported interface" vs "unsupported, unstable, system-private interface".
USB-C would be a nice looking single-argument function... but parameterized with every possible generic template meta-programming feature in the language.
When you acheive generalist mastery you'll be very skilled. You'll work circles around almost anyone. Happiness will be in your hands. (but some angry apprentices will want to kill you, be careful.)
I mean it's better than nothing IF you are in a situation like that. Most countries don't allow any kind of self-defense gear like weapons or mace, especially not when going on an airplane. This is something robbers will know, plus you will stand out as a visitor - stand out as an international traveler (so not poor), unfamiliar with the surroundings, and likely without any kind of self defense.

Mind you, if you do get robbed, it's probably best to give up the goods anyway instead of try and fight. Make sure your passport is safe (keep it somewhere else than your wallet / phone / valuables) and you should be all right.
Car salespeople say a lot of culturally inappropriate things constantly to each other. The sales manager I mentioned constantly referenced himself being a Jewish accountant to us as a fun way to remind us he's good at his job. Somehow it stuck and I guess I forgot even positive stereotypes are now allowed.

I have to admit, the fun banter between salespeople and even management is the #1 thing I miss these days.
> Sorry, but I've been seriously considering switching to Spotify just because the desktop Apple Music app (on macOS) might be the worst Mac app I've ever used

Agreed, though I suspect the grass is not much greener on the other side.

iTunes became worse and worse over time, but the worst of iTunes was 100 times better than Apple Music on Mac. A total embarrassment and work of utter incompetence. I'd take iTunes back any day.
It’s hard to overstate just how useful having a holistic view of the entire development process is.
Cypht Webmail – all your email, from all your accounts, in one place
Well, it's good to see that BT are committed to their long term strategy of being an absolutely terrible company that slowly pisses away their old monopoly businesses. I look forward to this being tested when BT's HR team realize that they hired a load of people over the last two years on the basis of them working remotely and that unilaterally demanding they relocate to an office constitutes constructive dismissal. I've been wondering for a long time what's going to happen when it finally hits UK companies that employment law doesn't actually allow them to jerk people around like this. My guess would be the same thing that always happens at BT will happen - they'll end up paying a lot of people a lot of money to not work at BT.
Russians make for great programmers and software engineers.

Russian economic systems and state/societal incentives unfortunately aren't conducive to helping these engineers build world-class companies and products at any appreciable scale.
This!

Right to die != Nudging people to make use of that right.
At the same time, (synthetic) human faces generated with perfect symmetry fall into Uncanny Valley territory. Perhaps, when it comes to our perception of the natural world, we subconsciously do appreciate an imperfect symmetry -- something that is symmetrical but only to a certain scale. I wonder if there are other well studied examples of such an effect.
Great. When I thought I just became expert level in C++, this? Hmm.. fine time to learn Rust.
Which GitHub Action is best for Slack notifications today?
> That gives a pretty good insight for anybody reading the code as to what "type" of arguments the function expects.
If you test

Only true if you're using very simple types, i.e. number and string. But "string" is pretty close to "any" and doesn't give you much info. If my function only expects two or three possible strings, it should be typed to only take those ones.

Comments are not a solution for much of anything, btw, and they only "work" if you read them. How many comments are in your node_modules folder?
Great tool! Like a shader in CLI.
Orin has support for FP16 of course, it would be insane not to have it when INT8 isn't viable for a lot of models anyway. There are some preliminary benchmarks that can confirm this that weren't hard to find.[1] The number juicing by way of using "TOPS" to mean "Sparse INT8" or whatever has been going on since the beginning of the Ampere line, though, so yes you should take that with a grain of salt (Ampere being the gen they added sparse tensor cores.) But not including FP16 support would just be a ridiculous move, frankly.

According to this table on this page[2], the lack of the NVENC support is due to the "Nano" vs "NX" product lines which they are introducing. NX started with Xavier, there was never a Xavier Nano, to my knowledge (since you could just buy the original Jetson Nano.) Xavier NX still has NVENC support, and now you can buy separate Orin NX modules with even more RAM. So they're just segregating their products further, it looks like. (Hit "Specifications" then expand the table and look at Video Encode/Decode support.)

So for people like us, we just want the Orin NX series. But yes, no more ultra cheap cameras.

I'm guessing they're eventually going to gear for Orin as an eventual successor to the original Nano, but who knows. It'll take a few price cuts to get there.

Great video. I've been thinking about something similar in particular because of the distractions. What happens a lot for me is that in order to achieve one task ("analyze churn rate") i get into a bunch of other tasks "find a software to visualize the chart" > "try apache superset" > "update docker desktop" on Windows" which in term of effort are way out of proportion to what I was willing to spend on the first task.

I'm eager to try how this tools handles the stacking/sub-tasks.

Also the hardest bit is the change in behavior and really write down all the little things before actually doing them.

Eager to try.
>We cannot win against Russia and we cannot win against China.

China declared quite explicitly they don’t want this conflict. They also quietly joined western sanctions.

As for Russia - given how the rest of Russian army turned out to be a bluff, why assume their nuclear potential is any different?
You say that but from an outsider's perspective, crime, drug abuse and gun violence is very prevalent over there.

As are Oakley sunglasses and people with a badass complex for that matter, lmao.
They have to be capitalist in order to be a profitable company. The problem has more to do with their size and monopoly status. They have the whole market and no credible pressure from consumers threatening to leave for other businesses and so they just do whatever they want which is chasing internal trends and politics.
As an indirect mechanism for triggering more powerful reactions that could be used as the primary drive, I think so.

My dream spaceship has a fusion engine and VASIMR drive, a kind of variable ion thruster, for variable thrust from takeoff to ~.1c speeds.

But fusion reactions are hard to ignite and sustain. Putting a tokamak in a spaceship might be possible, but they weren't really designed to scale down.

Fusion reactions require energies in the MeV range to ignite, but that's with perfect conversion. I'd like the flexibility up to GeV range, or many small 100 MeV units in parallel like this accelerator or the BELLA & kBELLA at Berkeley[kBELLA].

These can also be chained. Cascading wavefront accelerators appear to be the most compact way to achieve scale for high energy particle beams, perhaps combined with lattice-confinement-based fuels[lc-fusion]. Berkeley is also developing software to model "multi-TeV high-energy physics colliders based on tens to thousands of plasma-based accelerator stages."[warpx]

Cuz your spaceship needs a laser gun too, right?

Best daily standups are those that dont need tools. Just have a friendly chat about yesterday, today and any blocker. Have a coffee and hold them in a casual environment. No need for ceremony or “supervisors”.
As far as I recall, nobody in Chicago-land actually drank tapwater. You had to filter the stuff before you used it to wash cars. It kills houseplants.

I always assumed that it had to do with the bottled water companies keeping up on their campaign donations, more than any deficiency in the water treatment system.

Same on Linux. Electron apps are often so memory-hogging and not that fast. That's why i switched to a TUI spotify player and except that i can't see album covers there is nothing that i miss.
these fears are unfounded. The real organizers and beneficiaries of the regime are well-off and can easily shell out a $100-150K for a passport of some state in Caribbean and travel in EU without issues. So tourist and humanitarian visa bans only affect people with low and medium income, and who overwhelmingly do not support the regime. I'd wager my right hand that among russian refugees the number of people supporting Putin is far lower than in a Russian diaspora that is exists in those countries. If anything, admitting refugees would dilute support for Russia in those groups, and would dismantle the Fifth column.

Putin's base is almost universally comprised of people who have never been abroad - something like 73% of Russians don't even have an international passport and have never been abroad.
My main problem with YouTube recommendations is that the majority of my feed is videos I've already watched. I generally get quickly tired of waiting for the algorithm to recommend something interesting.

Although occasionally on the mobile site it inhects a "want to see something new?" into the feed which is a godsend. That list of recommendations is beautiful and interesting. However it doesn't seem to have any repeatable way to access it.

Although the poor recommendations may be partly because I manage my subscriptions via RSS so most of my watching is direct-to-video links then leaving the site. But that doesn't seem to excuse recommending things that I have already watched.
I mean if you're weighing in on a discussion of Spotify and Apple and sharing your alternative, I think it would be fair to think about drawbacks or missing features along with the pros of anti-subscription life
Maybe not a direct answer to your question, but still something considered as rebellious (by some):

> With the referendum in Donetsk and Luhansk, Russia is reframing the conflict as happening on Russian soil. That allows them to declare it a war

By their logic it would allow them to declare it a Ukrainian Special Military Operation...
I was having this same issue until I just got into the habit of using a conda env. There are community conda repos that make getting all versions of needed libs much simpler (condaforge is one).

Then it’s just a matter of managing envs for various projects. Smooth sailing.

I appreciate that you understood exactly what I meant, giving a medschool outsider some benefit of the doubt. Yes it was one of the board exams he couldn't pass.

The focus should be readability of code while respecting abstractions and design patterns.

I prefer some duplicate lines over having to go back and forth over some source files only because some developers think that less code is better code.

The code we create should be made for humans to read, no to machines and specially not to brag about how clever is our code
It's frustrating and I am sorry it is someone as close as your mother, but I don't think you can talk sense into someone who has replaced their entire persona with hatred.

I had to distance myself from one of my best friends. He began doing similar things and despite our friend group making it clear he should stop, he continues to send politically charged and racist materials, this despite him being an immigrant and sending his texts to a group of exclusively first and second generation Americans.
Being a generalist is a meta specialization of sorts. Some people are good at assembly of pieces - almost every CTO/Architect I have admired would be considered a generalist. Such person can obtain enough knowledge to have input and be productive and doing it across concerns is pretty epic skill.

Preferably engineers I like working with are T shaped. So they are generalists to a degree they can fill in but they have their own domain where their expertise is gathered. Its way easier for me to say "its just like the ... X" and if people have some rough understanding of X we can move on. If they don't we gonna have a week of explaining/understanding whats X.
But I like React and Node.js. It works fine for me.

Yes, absolutely.

And if you have setup on your side, you're doing it wrong.

There should be two fields for the customer to paste or an auto-config file, and a cert. Even without registering a preconfigured app in the IdP directory, its a no brainer.
I mean, you literally got robbed, but in my experience you can get a trauma response / anxiety from even smaller things. My friend had a kind-of-bully (we were 18+ at the time iirc) and met him in the street at new year's, the bully was a bit drunk and headbutted my friend. Nothing happened to me personally, it was just a bump on the head and the guy scampered when my friend's dad and friends came over, but I couldn't stop thinking about it to date (nearly twenty years later), imagining all kinds of alternative scenarios and all that. People underestimate serious confrontations.
There is an element of truth to this, especially if you don't have leverage. I've been there, too. Actually, there are two risks:

- People (co-workers AND management) may cynically use you for the tasks that are menial, messy and boring and doesn't lead anywhere. You become the tech equivalent of a janitor or secretary.

- People who see only one side of you think that that side is your only skill, not something you're able to in addition to your primary skillset.

In both cases, if you decide to assume the role of a generalist but want to avoid these risks, you have to spend some effort to position yourself.

These are the steps I would recommend:

1. When describing yourself, do emphasize the generalism. I tend to claim that I can do almost anything as long as it is technical, but I do some things quite slowly. In particular you need to communicate this with your manager.

2. Make sure you demonstrate the skills in the sides you have that you want to spend more time on. This means to volunteer for tasks of this type, and make sure to overperform on these tasks and market the result to decision-makers. This is perhaps the most crucial part, as it includes demonstrating an ability to show initiative and work independently.

3. Let people know that your time is valuable and costly. With managers you need to demonstrate that you can produce more value for them if they don't let you get stuck into something trivial.

4. With lazy/abusive co-workers, you may have to simply let them know that you're not the assistant they can hand over the boring part to. This may be more difficult than with the managers, especially if you're not good at marking your limits in a firm but polite manner.

However as long as management want you to work where you provide more value, you can simply tell your co-workers something like "I'd love to help you with <insert menial task they prefent not to be able to do>, AGAIN, but I'm afraid I don't have much free time until Thursday from 7am-8am two weeks from now....". Or you can simply say "I'd love to help you with <same as above>, but I've been ordered to focuson <insert more interesting task>, maybe you can explain your need to my manager and have him approve this". One approach is to make it inconvenient for them, the other is to force them to admit some deficiency to management before you help them.

Mutual restraining deterrent that isn't limited to "end game for everyone" button. We saw what had happened when the SU had collapsed and the only remaining unopposed empire had started wreaking havoc all over the world.

I would assume that if there were more diverse military alliances and less transcontinental ones (looking at you, NATO, can't be responsible if your brain is on safe on another continent), we wouldn't have as much soil polluted by depleted uranium.

The EU has a huge variety of plugs and sockets, what people often call the EU plug are variation of the schuko[0] design. The standard EU plug is the Europlug[1] which is compatible with most (but not all) sockets in Europe and only handles low amperage.

AFAIK Italy is the major outlier in having widespread sockets[2] that do not accept the Europlug

Knowing the UK, BT will ring up their Tory mates in power and ask them to remove the workers rights, so that they can get away with it. Hell, workers rights are already up on the chopping block, so they might not even have to bother ringing up.

HN's search through Algolia is similar.

An unqualified search reports (at this writing) just north of 30 million results (30,000,229). It will display only 34 pages' worth of results, I believe 1,000.

See: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...> Final page: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=33&prefix=false&q...>

As discussed recently on HN, the match count is useful information even where all matching results are not displayed as it indicates whether or not a query is generic.

> There's not really a strong argument for not linking libc.

Sure there is. The libc sucks. Freestanding C actually turned out to be a superior language because there's not as much legacy weighing it down. There's many systems languages out there, nobody should be forced to link to C stuff.
Containers are running native code. iPhones, for instance, seem happy to run containers. And it's my (perhaps shaky) understanding that the multi-process model for browsers involves running processes with reduced privileges - containers, in other words, even if not specifically "docker" ones.

AWS lambda is built on a VM/container hybrid IIRC.

And VM's, again, have direct access to hardware. This is what this SR-IOV business is all about and how we (RoCE) can have remote disks across networks that run even vaguely well.

Virtual machines have been running arbitrary code for a long time now, I think this is pretty much a done deal.
I like classes but I'm in the minority. They are just syntactic sugar over functions, but I like the explicitness of them. If a closure works for you, that's great but there isn't an objective reason to use one over the other.
This is why I say I can do any language but C/C++. It’s a skill I’m sure I could build, but it’s not going to be pretty at first.
It is as far as Russia is concerned.
I dunno...that's actually my job. :) I work (mostly) doing embedded software (drivers/os/apps) but also help with some of the supporting back end web services and yeah, some of the front end code as well.
It's handy for the company since I can work on whatever's most needful from week-to-week as well as take features from device to backend to production.
Why would I want to? Well, I get to learn (more) new things and the scenery changes more often.
It's not a bad gig if you can pull it off.
> The disagreement is over whether paying for information services with your personal data is being taken advantage of

Sure, if that was clear then we'd be in agreement. The EU law is aiming to make it clearer that you are indeed "paying" for the use of the website with your privacy.

Personally, I'm happy to pay for services with money, and do so whenever I feel a service is good enough. I'd wager a significant portion of average users would be too, if they knew what was happening with the profiles built up on them.

Putting that aside for a moment: If we paid for services, then it would promote good services. When we pay with our privacy, it promotes more effective data collection that doesn't have anything to do with the service, such as a focus on "engagement" (and everything that entails, that you've already alluded to).
