I bought about five years of my small-scale production back in Dec 2019 (what amounted to full reels of most parts, not because I wanted five years specifically). That was driven initially by MLCC cap supply “weirdness”, but while I was buying, it was dirt cheap (well under $2000) to just buy all the components.

It’s come in handier than I expected for the MCU shortages, but it’s also been really nice to not have to even look at stock/lead times when considering/prototyping new products.

I wouldn't be surprised if keeping 180 days of high-running, common parts on hand becomes the norm for high-margin products.
Y’all are funny in there (US). Every time someone argues that “democratic politicians this” or “republican politicians that” the rest of the world looks at each other like “do they think that they actually have two different parties?”

Even based on public policy (and ignoring how their private actions), US democrats are closer to “global centre” but still in many cases to the right of centre.

Truthfully, I know some of those recruiters personally. I don't hold it against them. They're paid terribly and their job is at risk if they don't get candidates.

I just be as polite as I can, but I hold them to their word.
The most common proximate cause of security issues in format handling (parsing and emitting) comes from implementations differing in their parsing, or implementations emitting invalid values in a way that will be parsed differently. Probably the most common type of security issue then comes from smuggling values through, bypassing checks or triggering injection. (This is the essence of injection attacks as a broad class.) One of the easiest demonstrations of this in HTTP specifically is called HTTP request smuggling: https://portswigger.net/web-security/request-smuggling. And the solution for that is pretty much: “stop using a text protocol, they’re too hard to use correctly”.

This is the first time I've heard this idea, but even with all the initial objections, I think this is the future. Something like this is going to happen some day, and I think it'll probably be in the next 5-20 years.

I even think there will be multiple initiatives like this, and there will be at least 1 big repository that accepts inputs and retrains periodically for anyone who wants the model.
It's true also for companies where CIOs are going to Gartner events and don't want to appear like the only ones not being "cloud-only" or "cloud-first"

https://www.the-investing-desk.com/cloud-costs-are-in-a-bubb...
where to justify the fact that cloud is much more expensive managers start to throw random numbers vaguely justified just to show that cloud is actually better.

I saw similar things in Corporate world even when choosing a colo/service partner vs doing in-house... managers asking us detailed costs for infra needed (servers, network, licenses etc.) and when you were getting something like 30 in-house vs 100 hosted they just threw some random FTE count to support it to get to 110 vs 100.
I'm not a huge fan of airbnb but I don't know of a great alternative for their services. When my family and I travel we want something that is a home, designed for kids, with spaces to cook, hang out, and near or in town (but not surrounded by loud drunks) so we can do things without driving. Ideally in a situation where a screaming baby isn't going to annoy too many other people. Hotels are miserable at this, and when I try to find places like this on a site like booking.com I find... the same places I find on airbnb. Perhaps part of the problem is cities forcing hotels to be in locations that suit them, and not the people travelling.

I've stayed in many absolutely wonderful homes on airbnb and as a travelling family it's vastly superior to staying in a hotel. We're staying in one in Utrecht for New Years'; I can't wait.

The author's points are valid (if you have little kids, there's a great Shaun The Sheep episode about a converted sheep barn that comes to mind reading this article) but I can't think of anything remotely as good as airbnb for travelling families, except for airbnb clones like vrbo.

Looking out for quantum consciousness in articles about quantum physics would be a good drinking game, though here it is handled with a proper amount of scepticism.

The pressure is enormous for writers to include mumbo-jumbo, because people click on these articles expecting to find out that it's possible to alter the Universe with psyhic abilities, which is how quantum physics is represented in social media, especially TikTok.
> a planet that has four suns

I remembered five; Wikipedia says six, two of which form a binary star system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_novelette_an...)

I also remember reading that such a system can exist, but can’t find a reference. It’s probably not that surprising, though, given that the proposed system has one large star and five minor ones, making it similar to a system with one star and five giant planets. Putting a planet in in such a way that it only has a night every 2000 years may be the only tricky part (giving it a much smaller orbit than the minor stars would help avoiding nights, but giving it a single moon that can cause nights once every 2000 years?)

You've answered your own question: take the time to study a topic deeply.

The top answer as I'm writing this says coding is a blue-collar profession, very well, a lot of it is. I don't know if this is current, but we used to call these "line coders", nothing wrong with it, it's honest work.

But coding is also a specialist occupation with many niches. Find one you like, and master it, to the point where you're advancing the state of the art.

Congratulations, you're an expert now. The color of your collar should matter a lot less.
That is a curious piece of history, especially since neither Ukraine, nor Russia (!) would want it to be a part of a part of the public narrative.

One important thing to consider is GDPR and other privacy laws. Sometimes your contract simply disallows you bringing your work laptop to certain jurisdictions if you carry personal information on it. As far as I know even your Outlook inbox counts as such.
Artificially lowering prices? You mean basic supply and demand?

The regulations aren't guests responsibility the hosts and airbnb should be compliant.

AirBnB and competitors are very important despite their flaws. Standard rentals are too inflexible for long term (month long) travellers and the hotel industry is either too expensive or not designed for long term stays.

As a digital nomad, I've had my share of bad accommodation (and really really good ones as well). Usually I just write them off and leave early, or identify stuff within the first day, that's very important. If you think you're going to be unhappy with the product you have to back out quickly.

False information or problems at the start of the accommodation, like broken items, are a deal breaker. This has been quite rare, and it might be the hundreds and hundreds of nights of stays but the two times I've had to contact AirBnB support it's gone in my favour (that's not to minimise the experience of the OP).

More often the bad experiences with AirBnBs are more subtle. Items that are just not comfortable or kitchens that don't really have what you need to cook.

Of the 65 hosts I've stayed with, 2 were bad enough to leave (as mentioned), and probably 2-3 more were the suffer through variety. That's not a bad percentage really.
If you still want/need to use AirBnB for cheaper travel, renting a room instead of a whole apartment is actually better. Then the host is an actual host and the reviews are more meaningful. I’ve gotten to know some pretty cool people that way. It’s a trade-off of course, as the set of potential issues is different.
There is an often-repeated statement that different quantum mechanical theories are equivalent. This is an over-simplification. Is wave function collapse is a real thing or just an approximation of what happens when a large system is entangled?

Some smart people have tried to make theories where wave function collapse is a real thing. These new experiments are working to rule out those ideas.

My feeling is that Everett's "many worlds" interpretation is the clear favorite: there is no wave function collapse.

A recorder, like a tin whistle and other fipple flutes, 'automates' the embouchure. That is, instead of you positioning your lips to direct air across the sharp edge that begins the vibration a fixed bit of material is doing it for you.

The reason to do this is so that lip position is no longer important. I can play these instruments, but I've never put in the time to get a good sound from a non-fipple flute. This is also why they're used in schools: you can immediately make a sound, just by blowing naturally.

But in moving the musician farther from the creation of the sound they also have less control over it. You can't really manipulate pitch and volume independently, and there are many more subtle tone choices available without a fipple.

This is one of the key trade-offs in designing a musical instrument. I wrote more about it in a 2012 post: https://www.jefftk.com/p/instrument-complexity-and-automatio...
For me the main reason for this type of lifestyle is the fact that I dislike cold weather. When winter comes to my country, I'd rather move to Canary Islands or somewhere else where temperature is still in the 70s. Sightseeing, which I do mostly on weekends, is just a bonus. Also, my trips are relatively short (max 5 hours on a plane), and I do not change countries often.
That only works if icons remain consistent and reasonably detailed over long periods of time. Nowadays all icons are abstract, monochrome shapes. They are similar enough to each other, and vary enough from one application to another, that one application's "back" or "new" buttons can look pretty similar to another's "undo" or "copy" buttons. With most apps on my phone I have no idea what the buttons do unless I press them, even if I'm perfectly familiar with the function.
This is just another case of one of those typical double standards that arise from existing in a society where a non-trivial fraction of the population is willing to give the government a free pass for anything short of chucking puppies into a wood chipper on a live stream.

You can bet your ass if these labs were in the business of supplying defense attorneys the info they need to get clients found innocent they'd be QC and government-regulated up to their eyeballs and would get shut down at the drop of the hat for doing shoddy work.

See also: Many telecoms and ISPs will happily provide police records with little formality. If a defense attorney wants to see all the records the cops got (not just the ones that are going to be used by the prosecution in court) they're pretty much up shit creek until a judge tells the business to turn them over.
The digital contract management process achieves your company's goals by responding quickly to any contract-related reports and recovery requirements when there is a new product launch or organizational change.
Yeah, that's the part that really kills me about JavaScript. I can deal with the language, npm, some curious conventions in the community, every "npm install" telling me I have 100+ security vulnerabilities. It's the whole "THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING OF AWESOMENESS SINCE THE INVENTION OF AWESOMENESS!!!!" that kills me, which is really just my snarky way of saying that I found there's generally some serious lack of introspection in the community at large. Something like, say, the Python packaging situation is far from ideal, but people are generally pretty honest about the fact that the situation sucks, and that it has sucked for quite a few years. Python devs tend to get embarrassed when you ask about packaging, or the GIL, and most ecosystems have some pain point(s) like that.

I understand that some problems are just hard, that there are obstacles, or that things you build don't always turn out to work as well as you intended when you started out (sometimes what seemed like a good idea at the start turn out not to be so good ideas later on), and that many things are also trade-offs where there is no perfect solution. That's all okay. It's the whole attitude I find hard to deal with.

Not in the sense of 'scrum masters' and certification and all that - that sounds bad but in a different way and I've never experienced it. I just mean 'sprints' and 'tickets' and 'points' and 'stand-ups' really. (Which I assume isn't what you're saying isn't that common, certainly seems it from.. HN I suppose.)
As described it probably is, but using string comparison would make what is already fairly fragile (they must have the same number of components) even more fragile and sensitive to change (they must now always have dots and digits in the same place, and the failure mode is now completely invisible). More stuff to be aware of. In practice I find precious few actually fixed-width formats like this, and more than a few pieces of software have struggled to go from version 9 to 10 or 99 to 100 because of bad assumptions. Or even date formats, two digit year was fine until 2000 when you either wrapped around to zero again, or went up to 100 (and some date APIs have modelled years as the number of years since 1900 in this way).

> I sincerely doubt that K9s in airports get treats every time they correctly identify a illicit source.

Why do you doubt that? When people say "treat" they don't mean a full day at the spa. It's a bite of something tasty, or a bit of play with a tennis ball while the dog handler says "goood booooooy".
Yes, there are people who make a living from playing. It doesn't mean it isn't healthy to take a step back every now and then and consider the ridiculousness of taking this too seriously.

Although that seems foolhardy, there should be no chance of electricity flowing through the reset button/switch if regulations are followed (which is obviously why there are regulations around domestic electricity wiring).
What an utterly predictable development. I was happy that Stability put their model out there without any waffling about "concerns" and "communities", but I was always skeptical they'd last. And well, now they're folding like cardboard when faced with a criticism that they should've seen coming. The most concerning thing here is that there's no conceivable approach they can take to prevent CP while keeping their model open; either it is open, and people can use/re-train it to make CP, or it is closed.

I feel the author misjudges the people making these decisions because for them in their own situation, the choice of large frameworks isn't the right one.

But many smart people are in different situations in which the best decision is to use a framework.

If I'm Amazon or Google and each ms of time to page load (p99 and average) is measurably worth a 6+ figure sum of money per year, then yes, cutting out the framework and going very very basic is the right thing to do.

If I'm a startup with 3 engineers who need to iterate quickly and don't care about page load time (yet) then I'm going to reach for React.

Using open standards can almost never be abuse because nobody controls it. The reason Google wants it benefits everyone who streams video. MV3 is a better example. It's technically "open" but it is removing functionality. I don't think anyone here disagrees with you that Google has power. But someone always has power; in the tech world it's mostly uses for profit. In this case it happens to benefit everyone and we should be happy about it.
In true collapse-of-the-gaps style, what if collapse happens when an entangled system becomes so large that the edges of it are outside of each others event horizons due to cosmic inflation?
If it is true that it made its rounds in a lab, we might want to consider putting a moratorium on such research out of security concerns. Or at least put such labs under more scrutiny. Also in regard to funding and people involved, have some be responsible for the safety.
Not only that, but with techniques like in-painting you could start with something that wasn't CP and then progressively make the model generate parts of it which then make up such an image right now. Stability saying they want to release an open version of SD that can't make CP is like a pen maker selling a pen that can't make CP: horseshit.
> Scrum is depressing, it makes miserable factory-like work

I've used scrum while building cool VR tools for Architects, my Research Scientist was developing new algorithms and we were building stuff like real time collaboration with view tracking and hot spot overlays, all in a scrum framework.

This is like saying "office chairs makes miserable factory-like work", Scrum is just a management tool. If your manager is making your life miserable, that's not scrums fault.

Yeah, I think people who pretend that modern FE is possible without React or another similar framework haven't built a modern frontend and dealt with all the demands for interactivity that users have nowadays and the complexity this brings regarding rendering logic, state, etc.

There's still a time and place for sending HTML and maybe a few tiny JS files down the wire, but for anything "application-like" it's just not feasible, unless your business is so big and performance matters so much that hundreds/thousands of engineering hours are a valid tradeoff to achieve it.

Regarding data loading and performance, there is a lot of exciting stuff in the near future - Remix loaders, Next.js RFC, React 'use' RFC, Quik, Astro, better bundling/build tools, etc.
Having been passionate about this for awhile, I have a layman’s surface overview of the state of physics, or I like to believe so.

It amused me to no end when my elderly aunt came to ask me for a tl;dr; on Quantum Physics. She stopped me shortly asking how she can control the universe with her mind.

I tried to explain a bit about the famous interpretation (Copenhagen, not Von Neumann–Wigner) but she would have none of it because the business course she just attended had a segment on how to control the universe and proceeded to disregard and mock me.
