This is why I advocate for lab-grown meat (from previous comments I've made here):

> One can never convince a statistically significant amount of people to switch to meat, so one must find ways to make the meat itself more sustainable.

> It's thinking with the end in mind. Once you axiomatize the ends, you can then figure out the means to get there.

...

> The reason I like lab grown meat is not (necessarily) because of reduced suffering, but because in the future, I can get a very high quality cut of meat for much cheaper than today, simply because cuts of meat differ mainly in their amalgamation of fat and muscle cells, and if you control the entire cell cultivation process, well, you can reorder the fat and muscle cells in whatever way you want.

> Imagine getting wagyu every day for cheaper than regular cuts now, simply because you don't have to grow an entire cow and massage it its entire life, you can just grow it on a Petri dish.

I can help somebody on basically any Linux system with most problems they have, but I couldn't tell you how to do that in that particular GUI. Sure, it's not great, but it's what happens when everyone is free to use whichever GUI they want.

My first experience with Unix was when I went to a new high school in 1991 and they had an IBM RT running AIX. This used the ROMP CPU before the POWER architecture.

People would telnet in to it from DOS machines on the campus network but it was great sitting in front of the machine with a huge 17" color monitor and multiple terminals.
The problem with such an approach would be that NERFs require a set of input images with their exact poses and exact poses are only available if the underlying geometry is static. However if you use SD to generate new views it's only an approximation and you wouldn't be able to get the exact poses.

Not all hope is lost though. I'm pretty sure in a few years (perhaps sooner) we'll be able to generate entire 3D scenes directly without going through 2D images as an intermediate step.
Wow, I wish.

I've been using a couple of ryzen laptops (an HP with a 2500u, then an HP with a 3700u) for about 5 years.

It works pretty well, except:

When the laptop wakes up there's a good chance that the UI shows up but I can't click on anything or type.

I can then reboot by holding Alt-SysReq and typing REISUB.

Or: The screen is still black, and nothing works, as above.

I can run games, though if I play something like GTA-V, it will eventually get too hot and I have to hard reset.

This is because the fan control doesn't properly work.
I agree with you but just for completeness the rust equivalent is
unsafe { *ten_things.get_unchecked_mut(11) = blah
}

Which goes to show that usually the unsafe methods are more verbose and annoying to deal with. Devs won't reach for them just out of laziness.
What efficiency are these? Brainstormed this a bit and feels like shower cabins (pretty popular over NE Europe) should have such system as standalone... As in - it collects waste, collects heat and stores it for next shower. Dunno how much energy a typical refrigerant can store tho. Also great fit for Japanese-style smart baths (press a button and water of desired temperature fills and stays warm), tho they seem rare outside Japan.
Social media is pretty much useless for that aspect. I'd wait until the 20th National Congress to conclude.
I know a few people who've taught APL to kids or other non-programmers and the most common remark is how much quicker they get it than students who've worked with other languages. I don't know what the result of the experiment you describe would be but you're definitely biased by your experience. And as a counterpoint to your example, here's the code to multiply several numbers by two in both Python in APL:

x = [1,2,3]
[n*2 for n in x]

2 × 1 2 3

From the post: "if the reusable code is already suitable, you just use it, but if it’s not, you decide whether or not you should modify how it works, or whether you should introduce a new layer on top of or underneath it."

I'm having a really hard time interpreting this as "you should design / program bottom-up".

If you go to Wikipedia, bottom-up design is roughly defined as taking the existing stuff and building new things on top. I still fail to see where the compression part comes in here.

Neither of the two directions will look back at the mess they've made and compress it. They're just ways to develop the system by adding to it incrementally.

But then, these terms are generally poorly understood (as evident from various discussions I've had) and I don't want to claim to have the perfect understanding either. Nor do I want to be "Look"'ed any more. So, whatever.
> the users who need these features may instinctively search for them and eventually discover them

I discovered the “space bar allows you to move the cursor around” hack through a friggin’ TikTok video only a few weeks ago. My mind was blown; never did I realize I needed a feature this much, I always thought it was just my fat thumbs that were the problem.

My wife was equally blown away.

Some may consider me an idiot for not discovering this earlier or googling this, but seriously, I just never realized there could be a better way and was always blaming my fat thumbs. I just thought other people never had this problem.

The discoverability of this feature sucks.
Have you looked at Apple’s Shortcuts App that allows some customisation of the share actions? e.g. that is the way to run JavaScript snippets in a web page on Mobile Safari (equivalent to javascript: bookmark urls in desktop browsers). I’ve only tried it on iPad, but I presume it works the same on iPhone (it would be unobvious if it didn’t).

The Shortcuts App is the way to access some deep and very unobvious functionality.
I used iPhone 2008-2012, Windows Phone 2012-2015, Android 2015-2022, and then recently bought an iPhone again to see what it's like these days.

I was baffled by how unintuitive it has become. So many "secret codes" you need to know these days to use an iPhone. Swiping down from the top on the left or the right bring you different dashboards? Swiping up from the bottom and hold to switch between tasks? How is anyone supposed to guess guess this stuff?
Linux Teams, kind of worked OK..ish.

There are though, lots of features that are missing - which might be OK, except they are going to finish supporting Teams on Linux and pushing everyone to use the web version, which is poor.

I'm skeptical, because typically a line like that is embedded in the middle of a larger function.

Extracting the logic into a dedicated, pure function helps with testing.
I rest my case then.
A political figure was recently assassinated in a country known to be peaceful.

There's your logic: at some point, people are done taking the bare minimum and will sow chaos, rebel, retaliate or even just lie flat and (legally) do anything to sour the lives of those they deem enemies. And confronting an ever increasing number of delinquents is far more expensive than preventing the root cause
I'm an amateur student of language acquisition. I can only add to this, because I think you're spot on. I knew a few people who landed here on their own and within a few years had no appreciable accent. ALL of them did this by living away from people who spoke their own language. Just too easy to slip into it when you've had a long day cleaning houses or working in an Amazon warehouse.

The point isn't to maintain the repeated code forever. The point is to generate the repeated code and (maybe) live with it for a bit until you understand what the right abstraction is and then remove the duplication with the correct abstraction.

I've lost track of the number of times that I've taken badly abstracted code, reintroduced all the duplication, then refactored to remove the duplication with an entirely different abstraction and the code was many times easier to read.

And have you lived in a codebase for many years, where you've never come back to a method that you extracted and realized that you named it wrong? Or the requirements of the code grew and the duplication wasn't really at the level that you picked and you wind up with a method that grows all kinds of horrible options to change its internal behavior?
From the user/product point of view, WordPress might be awesome for all the reasons you stated.

Maybe the police need a special code for "stolen, but the registered owner is Hertz", that they'd treat as casually as a traffic stop for a burned out taillight, rather than the felony stop that a reported-stolen car usually gets.
It's a fixed-function accelerator. They were all like that AFAIK.
Someday, someone will be killed because of it. And Hertz will respond like the surprised Pikachu meme.

every once in a while there's a lenovo default windows image/hardware security controversy, but never one that has affected me directly.

i don't care what they put on the default windows partition (i replace it on arrival) and the uefi issue was a production mistake where they imaged with a nonproduction image.

they're still used widely by serious people in academia, open source and security sensitive industry.

i suspect a lot of the bad press they get comes from the fact that there's a lot of very sharp eyes making use of their gear and that similar issues happen in other lines but just go unnoticed.

if you're truly paranoid, a pine arm machine or fully open source risc-v may be your jam. everything else is going to be loaded up with proprietary blobs everywhere along with overcomplicated supply chains and overzealous marketing departments cross selling adware onto that default image you should be tossing anyway.
Lemur has really great battery life in my experience. For example, 1 hour of watching a video stream in a browser uses < 10% of the battery.
99% agree with this. I agree with everything except the comparison with Laravel. I think it's great.
I'm sure you're much more knowledgeable than me about Rust at least.

Still based on my experience reading early Redox code it was chock full of unsafe blocks, and I suspect they didn't do that out of malice but to expedite development.

So the risk might still be there.
To be honest, two weeks or not, if a car is stolen it's probably gone forever. It's not like the police are going to assign a detective track down Hertz's stolen car. They stick it on the system and if it happens to pass an officer they'll stop it. The probelm is, the only way it'll ping an officer is if it's still being driven around the area with the same number plates - ie, the probability of it actually being stolen are minimal.
I find it strange that they didn't focus on tourist-heavy locations and airport locations when rolling this out.

Yes, this costs a bit more (although the price will go down with scale and iteration), so they should have focused on locations where people are more likely to pay more.

This was a good product, it's unfortunate that they've discontinued it.

People are slowly realizing that one of the actual roles of police in US society is to protect the interests of large corporations, wealthy people and those in entrenched positions of power. And not actually to serve/protect the population.

Be aware that these things have serious linearity (signal quality) issues, to the point where us "mere mortals" who design analog circuitry for T&M equipment try to stay away from them wherever possible. Audiophiles, of course, can hear the difference between copper, silver, gold, or platinum plating on the cable shield's drain wire in their neighbor's washing machine when he's on vacation in Hong Kong, so, you know, use with caution, you don't want to give them a heart attack or anything.

I thought Linux was often times annoying with Bluetooth connection issues, sleep related bugs … I enjoy how boring stable it is on thinkpad.

Then I bought a Mac m1 second hand for photo related needs and it doesn’t wake up the external monitor on resume from suspend, doesn’t auto switch Bluetooth mic, doesn’t provide volume mixer for hdmi external monitor, can’t manage wifi&Ethernet at the same time …

Data centers hate this one neat trick:

The best one is the kinetic (inertial) scrubbing they brought to videos on iOS 16. For example, open a YT video from Safari (don’t open on the YouTube app), go full screen and the flick to scroll backwards and forwards! I bet we’ll all consume more data as a result of this UI addition. I certainly use the YT mobile web version as a result.
As stated, I am only focused on employment, not freelancing. See also parallel discussion with challenges of contractor vs employee and false self-employment.
Expanding on this point:

If a website is transferring more data to render content, or worse, before starting to display content, then bandwidth matters as it will move that data more quickly.

If a website requires multiple round trips to complete a given request, then latency will also matter, and sets an absolute minimum floor to time-to-display (TTD) regardless of bandwidth. The higher your latency, the slower that process.

In theory it's possible for an SPA (single-page application) to be more responsive despite an overall larger page weight as it can incrementally request and present additional content. In practice such pages often perform worse on time to display due to both increased total data transfer and round-trip request requirements. A lightweight HTTP/2 HTML+CSS only site can be far more performant if it's based on static pages and request/load dynamics.

This is probably not an up to date number but it gives you some idea of a random snapshot in time at least.
Interesting; I got a A485 two years ago and everything except Bluetooth worked out of the box without problems (BT kind-of works but with a lot of problems, so I just got a USB one for €10). Never needed any kernel parameters, graphics work fine (including for some games), sleep always worked fine. Never tried AP mode or fingerprint scanner. Only reason I got a different laptop was due to hardware issues (some issue with the mainboard).

I only used Void Linux on it; maybe it's different with other distros.

I'm mostly a software developer but I've long been interested in legal stuff on the side as long as I can remember. Not for career reasons, I just find it interesting. It's not always boring! For a nonprofit I've volunteered for for a long time, I ended up helping a lot with bylaws and policy writing. Reading the terms and policy documents of a company, in addition to learning the actual rules, gives you a glimpse into their culture (granted, a noisy glimpse - may mean nothing more than "founder doesn't give the terms any mindshare so just had their lawyer do everything bog-standard"). Terms/privacy policies are often a factor in products I choose to use (or not use).

I guess I’m confused. Isn’t that exactly correct?
Crazy, I had something that could have escalated to a wrongful arrest with Hertz less than a week ago.

Hertz initially gave me a car with a mechanical problem, so they swapped it out before we had even left the rental car lot.

The attendant at the gate assured me they had updated the paperwork.

They hadn’t. I was on the phone with support for hours trying to fix this. They never fixed it and I had to pay for someone else’s rental. They even told me that the car was not marked as stolen.

In addition, when I returned the car, the attendant looked at me pretty funny and said it was good I never got pulled over.

Nothing got done on this until I threatened to bring my company’s travel coordinator into the mix (I work at a large company that spends a lot on Hertz rentals every year).

Still waiting for a refund of the additional fees they charged for my “second rental car”. The way it was handled by Hertz customer service and the location manager was an absolute joke.

I’m not unique here either, after this experience I went on my company’s internal chat and found tons of stories similar to this.

There is either a big problem with the process at Hertz or a severe bug in their system that they aren’t acknowledging.
Not really a company, just a side project used by me and some friends: Laravel + Unpoly + Tailwind.

That avoids bugs and misunderstandings, too.

You know this, but for those unaware, in the previous example, x is not initialized to 3. Similarly, in "int* p1, p2;", p2 is an int, not an int*. Easy to misread.

Of course but less money in the local economy means less jobs and opportunities right? What should the drug using thieves do instead? That's my question really. Are there good jobs they are turning down? Should they go to a different state and use drugs and steal there?

These lawsuits allege that the cars were legitimately rented by customers, but Hertz screwed up the paperwork and then incorrectly reported them as stolen, and their customers suffered the consequences.
While technically true, the unspoken premise of my argument is that it can and will output distinctive samples derived from the source. E.g. you cant change the pitch, tempo, and add other effects and call the output your own, legally.

Preferably by checking surveillance camera footage before calling the cops.
Once they're done with the rotation they're recomputing the balance factor by calling something like height(left) and height(right) which recursively descend to count the height on both sides. You don't need to do that. Given the old balance factor and the rotation you can compute the new balance factor.

(Some really bad implementations don't even store the old balance factor in the node and call a recursive height function to figure it out beforehand as well, I just skimmed the implementations I looked at so I didn't check to see if they were doing that as well)
