Thanks! I don't have a way to take tips yet, but you can support by pushing for developers to improve their accessibility implementations when you run into issues!

I see you found the setting for that. It was a deliberate default initially as the intended way to use Shortcat is to activate Shortcat and type what you want without waiting to see hints, as this is generally faster and less mental overhead IMO, especially for fast typists and well-structured interfaces.

However, some people prefer minimal keystrokes and I get that. I'm trying to figure out the right set of defaults to make it friendly to new users while nudging people to how Shortcat is designed to be used and will be tweaking it as I go.
> It is responsibility of the entity (Microsoft in this case) publishing the code to make sure that they have the right to publish.

This would basically kill github as an idea. I like the ability to be able to push some personal project to github and don't really give a fuck about technical copyright violations and I think the same is true for 90% of developers.
Fargate has full

Also, what exactly is "full, native IaaC support" in this case, compared to e.g. EKS?
Same. I've written probably more C++ than any other language, and I have a lot of respect for the language overall, but I recently had to use only C for something, and I found it rather refreshing. My use case didn't hit a lot of the pain points of C, but it did feel refreshing as there are fewer ways of doing things, fewer options, compared to C++, and my code ended up feeling more straightforward and readable as a result.
Is there a good reason to learn Morse in modern day besides just for kicks? Some sort of survival situation in which your only form of communication would be Morse, and you can't get out of it by sending ASCII binary?

Not knocking on anybody's learning for fun, just curious.
Correction: you can do pre-emptive multi-tasking on z80. I wrote an OS to take advantage of this back in the day. It has interrupts, after all. User programs (as it were) can disable interrupts, but the z80 has NMIs as well if your hardware configuration is suitable for it.
>He's lashing out like a toddler who can't have something he wants

It can be tempting to cast one's enemies as irrational actors, but one should be careful to entertain the possibility that they are behaving rationally within constraints you don't fully understand. Indeed, anger itself is a game theoretical adaptation.

In this instance, my view is that Ukraine and its massive untapped gas reserves represented a serious threat to Russia's business model. Annexation would have been preferable, but as that is proving impossible, the next best thing is to destroy Ukraine as thoroughly as possible to prevent Europe from gaining access to an independent supply.

I recently learned that it's not too difficult to run Compiler Explorer locally on your machine. Clone it from github and run the appropriate makefile and npm commands. Recently I've been using it Compiler Explorer a lot like this. It's easier to use your own header files and it's nice to not have the extra latency of compiling remotely or worry that you're using so many of their CPU cycles. The main downside is that if you run locally you can only test on the version of gcc and clang that you have installed, while on the website you can test other versions and also other CPU architectures.
yes indeed, we are discounting the long term impact on individuals and the aggregate impact on society. The appropriate response to China's Covid Zero is should 'what do they know that we don't' rather than the dismissive attitude we mostly commonly see
>If you're working for someone else, it is by definition meaning that Y has plenty of room in it and can be done better.

And why would I care about that as an employee? It's the employer's problem to use my time effectively, not mine. It is ridiculous to assume I should have interest in helping you make me work harder for the same amount of pay.

>They could replace the worker with anyone else that has the same skill as them, but who would put all effort into Y, and effectively double the rate of production for not much change.

So there's this pool of magical workers who can do twice the amount of work for the same salary as the current employee and yet the company is not utilizing this opportunity at all? This scenario makes no sense, if it was possible to do then the company should already be doing it regardless of whether someone has a second job or not.
TL; DR: they found that mosquitoes survived through the dry-season (previous theory was that they were migrating from a humid region). The researchers are making the supposition that the mosquitoes achieved this by entering "aestivation". Would be very interested to see what an aestivating mosquito would look like.

Edit: more reading about this.

Of course, the parent comment might mean it literally, but you can also read it metaphorically.
> Hexadecimal triplets are six-digit hex codes

OK, agreed.

> Hex triplets aren’t always six digits

I'm confused how both of these things can be true? Are you saying that the hex triplets you're interested in are six-digit codes, but that in the general case you can of course pick any 3 numbers, write them in hex, and call them a hex triplet, even if the constituents are longer or shorter than 2 digits?
It's true that a lot of the fashion industry appears to be pretty disgusting. But that doesn't mean that it would be better if fewer of the steps were automated.
This is because the only place for progress in America seemingly is within yet-nonexistent unregulated areas. As soon as something gets regulated in the US it mostly is doomed to lag decades behind the rest of the developed world (because American policymakers apparently are not fond of updating existing laws/rules and the bureaucracy is not flexible enough, often prioritizing the letter of the law). Of course there are exceptions (let alone particular regulations which do much more good than harm) but this seems to be the rule.
Truffle fries are definitely a thing in the US. A delicious thing.

Yes you can do a million tests but the biases and failures of the neural net are chosen by human developers, a miniscule subset of citizens who themselves have some form of bias depending on their educational background, places where they grew up, family and friends etc.
While you can replace a human in a powerful position with another one, since we do not know how to surgically correct individual weights in order to remove a specific decisional bias from a neural net, we can only retrain it and hope for the best. Because we are humans ourselves, we can understand the incentives of other humans and create adequate mechanisms to correct for their selfishness and their bias but what would be the incentive of an all powerful neural net? Which loss is it minimizing? And how does it know the citizens' preferences in the present and in the future? If the citizens stop feeding it (accurate) information at one point in time, will it still be the benevolent dictator that it was supposed to be?

*Edit: Another counterargument that generally applies to neural nets making decisions for human activities is the argument of accountability. While you can put on trial a bad politician for their harmful-to-society decision making, who is to blame when the neural net will inevitably spew the wrong output on an issue that it has not encountered before and a policy decision will be made based on that? Will we put the developers on trial?

I think the key is to protect individual user from being harmed by misuse of the aggregated data, and provide transparency on how the data are being used.

Corruption always happens for a greedy, unethical few, but with the right technologies, we can make such abuse very costly. That hopefully, would restore trust from most users.
I haven't worked with a lot of i18n systems, but on the contrary I have found them to be a huge amount of work.

I have used the Angular one and the Laravel one, and both are a chore to use, because they interrupt your flow. If I'm writing the view of my component, I don't want to have to switch to another file, think of a key that identifies that text well enough and then translate the text, thinking of potential plurals and others. I just want to write my damn text.

I'd rather spend days doing the mind-numbing work when needed rather than slow down my development process and remove all enjoyment from it ad vitam aeternam because of i18n-ing on the fly.

Mentioning DALL-E, you've hit on something.

The world seems slightly mad about these things that produce "almost" pictures from text. We forgive DALL-E when it produces a twisted eye or an impossible perspective, because its result is "close enough" that we recognise something and grant the image intention.

So now you've got me waiting for DALL-Ecode. Give DALL-Ecode a description, it produces code.

"DALL-Ecode: Code that is sufficiently close to what you'd expect that you'll try to use it."

"DALL-Ecode: Code that looks like it does what is needed."

"DALL-Ecode: Good enough to compile, good enough to get through a code review (just not good enough to get through testing)."
> In my experience, at some point relational data will be required in most projects

I've noticed this too.

My leading hypothesis is that projects start with simple data storage requirements which don't require much more than "flat file database + JSON", i.e. NoSQL, document database like Mongo etc. The fast and loose nature of these systems is nice to have at the start of a project too, compared to the work needed do SQL.

As the project evolves requirements start to appear which require combining data from 1 or more of these "flat files" or document collections. Then you discover that that your data is relational after all and these new "simple" queries you want are hard to do with your chosen (NoSQL) database.

In short: As an application evolves and its data grows, it tends to become more relational.

Black Mirror gradually coming true

Probably decades of dubious, non-reproducible, sociological research, without a real idea of how things really are in the field. Is just another case of blinded by ideology.

As a zoologist, I am perfectly able to appreciate the work of Jane Goodall and what she achieved. I don't need a "Peter Goodall" at all. This is why science was great twenty years ago and not-so-great now.

I really like this study & feel like it reflects what grammar school instructs that science is supposed to look like. A hypothesis is proposed and tested, where the act of testing is not mere simple direct observation (which in this case, as in many famous historical scientific experiments like Thompson’s, Millikan’s, & Rutherford’s, was inaccessible using more commonly-understood contemporary observational technology), but requires unique, oblique intervention of uncertain efficacy (the application of deuterium for the mosquitoes to incorporate) to bring out the response from the system to be observed.

It would be really cool if scientific investigations could be regularly classified post-facto on this basis. But then a philosophical discussion: If the observation was trivially observable (by eye or by video camera), yet yielded the same finding, would it be any less an advancement of science as it is popularly understood? Would it be any less praiseworthy?

And what if there had not been a hypothesis in the first place? Just a dry (no pun intended) observation (using technology that we understand doesn’t exist in the real-world) & accompanying posted dataset that happened to reflect that mosquito eggs persisted on-site through the dry season. Would such a dataset (again yielding the same findings as the real-world study) be any less ‘scientific’ or praiseworthy?

I imagine there are philosophy-of-science papers on this topic -

The title graphic of Wikipedia’s article on the Scientific Method demonstrates
“This diagram represents one variant, and there are many others.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

Is the topic rigorously treated, e.g. not just whether a given study was observational vs experimental, but whether an experiment’s observational apparatus was novel & unproven vs contemporarily known? If a study employs hitherto novel & unproven apparatus, is it then more worthy of praise (and press articles) than a study of higher impact but that employs more mundane apparatus?
As a kid, I have spent years of my life in front of the C64 and later the Amiga.

When I look at a C64 emulator, it brings up tons of memories. Commands like "POKE 53281,0", games like "Uridium", software like "Giga-CAD".

But looking at the Amiga Workbench brings up nothing. I'm like "Hmm.. did I really use this?".

Strange.

Some of the software I wrote on the Amiga can still be found online. With screenshots and everything. I look at those and I can't even remember which language I wrote it in or which editor I used to write the code.

There’s an Russian-language memoir[1] by Kronrod (of the ITEP programming school that also includes Adelson-Velskij and Landis of AVL fame and served as the birthplace of ABBYY some decades later) that mentions that for some time, they did things exactly that way, and that it was a small breakthrough to be able to talk about symbolic variables and draw jumps graphically once they had explained to the secretarial staff how to translate that into addresses. So, taking into account the lack of accessible reference material, you are in good company :)

(The book also includes a discussion on VLIW-style microcoding, a plea for more registers, and a note how a population count instruction may be worth including despite its situational utility because of how easy it is to do in hardware compared to a software emulation. That team did one of the first chess programs, though, so it’s not surprising popcount came to minds easily.)

As someone giving money to a number of creators via patron… it’s been absolutely heartbreaking to hear them fall to adding adverts one by one like dominoes as the cost of living has kept rising.

Some have been able to make a living as a niche podcast host for years now but now it’s not enough… and they aren’t even in a field where they are competing against the AI art… yet (I struggle to imagine how pointless and devoid of meaning an AI generated podcasts would sound)

I dunno how long the house of cards can keep stacking up, but eventually it will collapse and we’re going to have to change how we do capitalism… or it will need replacement. If a 25k up front domestic robot with 1k per year maintenance costs, plus electricity costs (solar & wind just gets cheaper with amortisation) can do basic factory work, how many people from the bottom tier of society can have no job prospects before it collapses? The average IQ is not 100, it’s lower, 100 is the ideal, there’s a lot of people who aren’t going to get robot programmer jobs who would have been drivers or low skill tradesmen/general contractors…

I’m genuinely not sure what will happen but it just seems inevitable without the same sort of changes that will help Artists have a living while producing art.

Interestingly, they are often developed in Germany. One I found is Fitness Point. They use Google analytics and ads, so privacy is relative. However, unlike for example apps like MyFitnessPal and apps by brands like Nike, they don't use your fitness data (like weight) for direct advertising.

The major apps all have the ability to market weight loss products when you gain weight, for example, which is the thing I personally resent the most.

On the other side we have the individuals inheriting such codebases and being told to add multilingualism when a bunch of other soft dependencies and assumptions exist which make this entire thing a disaster to implement.
