Wow. Using the term inpaint (from AI art apps) illustrates your point with great clarity, at least for me.
> An important part of being a framework is that it is made for reusability

I might have agreed with this at one time. A dedicated "framework" has documentation and additional software to shortcut assumptions, but a coherent design isn't different enough from the rules that guide any given framework to be a distinction. The biggest differences are how mature the frameworks are in breadth of documentation, guidance in how to achieve constrained goals (there is no "everything" framework), and supporting software to shortcut boilerplate.
Sounds just like what China has been trying to do in their semiconductor industry for years without success
> And what ability do you see us as having to restrict Chinese viral research?

The ability to appeal to their self-interest? I doubt that any evidence would cause the CCP to deviate from its preferred story (which I think now is natural zoonosis outside China, then import on frozen food?), but they don't want a pandemic any more than I do.

So I'd guess that given evidence that certain research activities likely caused this pandemic, the Chinese government would quietly act to restrict them, all while publicly denying that they're doing so. Indeed, they might have already--Dr. Shi's group hasn't published anything even as dangerous as these BU researchers' experiment since before the pandemic.
A lot of democracy has it both ways, why can't China?
Plugs are fused because the current capacity of the in-wall wiring (and the breakers that protect it) is much higher than the safe current capacity of a single appliance's power lead. The circuits are often 32A and most appliances are rated for 13A or less. So without a plug fuse a fault in the appliance that draws, say, 25W would potentially overheat and set fire to the appliance cord without tripping the breaker. This is true of most countries' larger radial circuits too, I think, and the British practice of fusing plugs is a safety upgrade. How much risk it reduces in practice, I don't know.

The final ring circuit is an idiosyncracy of British wiring practice, where the cable goes out in a loop from the distribution board to sockets etc and then connects back to the board again. It allows smaller gauge wires to be run for a given current rating, and was introduced after WWII to reduce copper use during reconstruction. This does have some unusual failure modes, but the code is absolutely fine for this system as long as it's followed (including the testing regime after new installations, which will catch, for example, a ring circuit with the neutral conductor disconnected only on one side of the ring). Obviously bad work can happen anywhere.
Yeah there are lots of foods which are normal because we were exposed to them as we develop into adults. Those not exposed to some of these items can naturally feel disgusted to the point some people will feel physically ill when trying to eat one of these items.
That is strange. If it is one app that I have never had a problem with is Gmail on Android(Nexus and Pixel devices)
It’s not impossible.

China moves at a different pace than the West.

They might retake Taiwan in 2100, after a couple generations maybe care more about shared culture and language than democracy.

Watched the video of this on YouTube. Overall a great talk, though I don’t agree with many of his conclusions. He seems to argue that ‘move fast and break things’ is the way forward, and that big dynamic runtimes allow for this with great runtime debugging etc. I prefer to catch my bugs at compile time, and have found this to be a far more reliable path to actually finishing a software project.
Microsoft Teams, but that's more of a chat problem than a chat solution.
It was 2019 the last time I tried. But I remember Netflix, Plex, Hulu and Crackle were all able to be installed from a reset iPad 1st gen.

I could also download Apple’s iWork suite and download purchased iTunes music and movies and play them.
Isn’t that an FFI boundary though? There are a lot of examples of FFI crates where the inner FFI is wrapped by an outer safe crate with a Rust API.

Not having looked at that API specifically, it might be that they think there are perhaps different approaches to implementing the safe interfaces, and those may be best left to specific implementations for UI abstraction frameworks, like Druid.

Just speculating.
Yes I do anticipate that happening, but it's no guarantee.

And even still doing 3-5 years of very hard parenting work to get to that is a lot... And I didn't even carry the children which is another year of very hard work!

I'm not saying that I'm not happy with my decision to have children, but if I didn't really want to have them this would be rough.
Smalltalk has a change file and an ability to be source controlled. My understand is that the source controlled output is not human friendly.
Part of it is that you are not their only support network; many siblings offers many outlets and sources for help / support / etc.

Running a family that large is also certainly more time consuming in some aspects- grocery shopping is a significantly different experience when you go through multiple gallons of milk and dozens of eggs every few days, as an example.

You rely on older children to help, and the whole family unit functions as a team.

A good friend has 8 siblings. My parents both had 6. I only have the one, who is several years older than me. The family dynamic between a small and large family is simply fundamentally different. That doesn't mean less emotionally attachable or available, but almost certainly less one-on-one time.

No the one that came before the current one was soooo bad. If you could manage to hold onto the thing without dropping it, it would get debris stuck in the clicker, the clicking would stop working on one side of the remote (maybe related to debris, but persisted through cleaning), and the touch pad would get all wonky sometimes and some never recovered. I went through a few of those remotes. The new one is actually quite nice and is easier to hold too.
Production environments aren't the only environment software is run in.

Pretty much by definition, more code touches non production environments than is ever ran in a production one: everything that touches production likely passed through at least 1 other environment beforehand. Then you have the code that never made it to production due to it being buggy/etc.
I believe fairly little is known of Euclid's personal life, so it is hard for me to see Euclid as a clear counter example. Can you be more specific?
>I would expect that the Democrats and Republicans are seeing the world (and the media) through blue- and red-tinted glasses. I would expect that the independents are, on average, seeing more clearly.

I am a registered member of the Democratic Party.

That said, I am not a fan of either the US Democratic or Republican parties. I find both parties less interested in governing and more interested in maintaining/increasing their power.

But still, I'm a registered Democrat. Why is that? Where I live (NYC), the electorate is ~5:1 D/R. As such, a win in local (city council, Comptroller, etc.) and state (assembly, senate, etc.) Democratic primaries generally assures victory in the general election.

As such, I made the choice a bunch of years ago to change my party registration to the Democratic party.

Does that mean I see issues through "blue-tinted glasses"? I think not.

I'd also point out that I tend to be much more libertarian (small 'l') WRT social issues (equality of opportunity, stay the hell out of peoples' bedrooms and doctors' offices, personal freedom of expression, privacy, etc.), but also a strong advocate of living wages and a very strong government supported safety net.

I have some ideas about why all that is for the good, and have even discussed (especially free expression and a strong safety net) here on HN.

As should be obvious, neither party really supports positive change in most of the issues I find important. One more so than the other, but still woefully inadequate.

Regardless, I choose who I vote for based on my perception/understanding of the candidates' themselves, not which party's line on which these folks are running.

Perhaps I'm an outlier, and folks just vote whatever their family/peer group votes.

I'd say that I'd tend toward a strong belief in the idea that a "well educated electorate is essential to democratic self-rule." (usually, and incorrectly, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, but it's not who said it that matters, but that it's true).

We're falling down on that point (lots of others too, but who's counting?) and need to make sure that by the time an American citizen reaches the age of 18, they understand the US system of government in a reasonable amount of detail, both from conceptual and practical standpoints. You'd think that would be a no-brainer, but apparently (and unfortunately) not.

And that applies to many members of both the major, center right (Democratic) and further right (Republican) parties in the US.

It's a sad state of affairs, but one that's easily fixable, at least for future generations. I'm not holding my breath.
I'm really liking Firefox View. Having to open the hamburger menu and click twice to get recently closed tabs (and a similar story with synced tabs) was never very convenient, having a nice full page in one click is a huge improvement.

Yeah, but the two dominant open source C compilers have chosen different approaches. This makes nested functions (gcc) and blocks (clang) both unusable if you want portable code even between the pair of them (and not generally).
Mathematical constructs like programs and theorems are a third category; they have structure and properties that don't depend purely on social construction the way a company's bylaws do. Of course which sets of axioms we prefer to reason from is socially negotiated, but once you've decided on a set of axioms, you don't have any freedom of choice about the consequences. This gives propositions about them a kind of objectivity that corporations or D&D characters lack. It can never be objectively true or false that a given corporation is, for example, bankrupt, but it can certainly be objectively true or false that a theorem is correct, or that a program performs an out-of-bounds array access when executed on the input "-0".

1500 years ago, Aryabhata came up with an algorithm for approximating an integer ratio with (what we today call) continued fractions, and we use it today for that and for inverting elements of finite fields. Aryabhata was a Hindu, speaking Sanskrit, living in a monarchy; no corporation he formed part of still exists, or could exist, at least according to accepted legal principles. Yet his algorithm continues to be correct today, and like the movement of the Earth, it would continue to be correct even if nobody believed it.

Platonists believe that mathematical constructs like programs are actually more objectively real than things like stones or puppies, because propositions about them have a truth-value that is independent not only of the speaker's social context but also of time. Today this puppy is alive; tomorrow she will be dead. The Pythagorean Theorem doesn't do that.
> Outside of Google the product management function does indeed seem to be... pretty awful for everyone involved.

If the best product managers are at google, then that's very damning, given that Google are notorious for having awful product sense. I'm not convinced that's true though. I've worked with good product people at small companies.
There are two port forwarding modes allowed with slirp4netns. One uses slirp4netns itself: data is passed across a tap device, libslirp translates the destination address and preserves the source address.

The second one uses rootlesskitport (while slirp4netns still takes care of outbound connections): it opens sockets directly in the detached network namespace and passes data between sockets without going through the tap device. It's faster, because you avoid 1. the tap device 2. Layer-4/Layer-2 translations. But those sockets are local to the namespace, so destination and source address become loopback addresses. That might be unexpected in some cases, see also https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-20199.

pasta implements both modes (it's the "tap bypass" in https://passt.top/passt/about/#pasta-pack-a-subtle-tap-abstr...), and selects the appropriate one based on the original source address, so that you don't need to choose one. Local connections skip the tap device, non-local ones go through it (you can have non-loopback source addresses only for traffic coming through a a non-loopback interface).

People really vary, it felt natural to me almost immediately but Rust's surveys indicate that some noticeable proportion of respondents report not being comfortable after more than a year.

This is seen as an important thing to improve because of the slogan "A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software". If Rust isn't empowering everyone because say, 10% of people who try to pick it up can't get anywhere that's not good enough.
> The lab leak hypothesis has a range from "This virus was created and released by the Chinese government as a bio-weapon against the US and to kill off their own aging population" at the extreme. To the "The virus was being studied at the Wuhan Virology Institute and someone one got lax on safety protocols got exposed accidentally and then took the train home."

And people on either end of that spectrum should be expected to have substantial evidence to support their position since the far simpler and common scenario is that it wasn't leaked from the lab at all. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" applies much more to the government bio-weapon crowd, but it still absolutely applies to the 'employee mistake' theory too.

If you receive a GPLv3 licensed application from someone else who tried to add additional restrictions, then you can just ignore them, sure. However, this comes straight from the author, so what you actually get here are two conflicting rules given by the copyright holder. I'm afraid this can not be considered free unless a relevant jurisdiction's court judges otherwise.
But if you're doing it that way, why would you need higher precision floats to render a larger world? Single precision should be good enough for any draw distance, because the object dimension on the screen falls as 1/r.

If you want to move in the environment, you want to be able to store the relative positions of a teacup and a table in virtual London with the same precision as in virtual New York. So the coordinates of objects should be stored as integers. Then to render the world, the camera coordinate (also an integer) is subtracted from all objects, with no loss of precision, and the result cast to float for 3D rendering.
Yes, I agree the asymmetry needs to be addressed and the rules need to be enforced as they currently stand.

Don't be so sure. These kinds of changes start with education.

In 1922 Russians have won the war against Ukrainian People's Republic.
After 20 years, vast majority of Ukrainians who opposed the occupation were dead, scared to death, refugees in other countries, or in forced labor camps in Siberia and other remote places of USSR.

I'm afraid Russians have already started re-implementing elements of the same 100 years old strategy: https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/09/01/forcible-transfer-ukrain...

What great things are our dead relatives going to talk to us about? They can only produce conversation about stuff that's been fed into the 'system'. In other words, as I said in the first place: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
I created a new kind of object store where tagging is one of its key features. Each data object (called a Didget - short for Data Widget) can have a set of contextual tags attached. This is true whether the Didget holds file data like a photo, a document, or a piece of software; or if it holds other kinds of structured or semi-structured data (relational tables, folders, configuration, etc.).

Each defined tag has a data type (STRING, INTEGER, DATETIME, etc.) and a 2 level context. Like a column in a relational table within a columnar store; all the values for the same defined tag are stored together. This makes querying extremely fast.

So you can define tags like Person.FirstName, Event.Wedding, FileSystem.Extension and then attach values to files and other kinds of content. You can then query the system (e.g. Find all photos where Person.FirstName = 'Billy') based on their tags.

I have created containers with 200M of these objects and put a dozen or so tags on each one. It can run queries that return in just a couple of seconds.

I'm a ham radio guy who builds his own radios and a time nut.

For some of the designs that I'm building for clubs and amateur rocket clubs, my chip prices have gone from $3 to $60/chip. I've been able to get by with the stock of chips that I keep for repairs, but, to find chips in the price points that I generally work with (and by price point, I mean, I donate these to clubs/college rocket clubs at no cost, so, I try to keep my costs as low as my sanity/bom/weight permits), I've been finding chips that have 1/4 of the ram or 1/4 the functionality that I need, and reworking my code around the new limitations of what I can build with.

Thank the EE gods that I can get boards from China in about 3-5 days at a relatively sane price point: add in an open source pick and place system (OpenPnP) and a easy-bake reflow oven (hacked together from a freebie on craigslist) and it allows me to iterate over designs about once every two weeks or so, as long as I've got everything in stock. I've had to change my boards for the SI4467 (Sub Ghz RF Transceiver from Silicon Labs) three or four times in the last year alone. I find something that works, build another one, I'm out of stock on an item with no availability in sight on DigiKey/Mouser, so, it's botch wiring and praying that I can get it to work the way I want to until I refab my PCB, and then rinse, repeat.

This idea is really interesting. I’ve been using Copilot since it became publicly available for personal side projects. Recently, I ran out of google drive space and had to use something other than google docs to write my essay for school. I booted up a text document and started writing, and then copilot started writing with me. I ran it through a plagiarism checker, and it turned out to be clean, which surprised me.

Can’t say that what it generated was particularly insightful, however it was helpful to reach an obituary word count.
For budget conscious customers I think the cheaper ad version of Netflix may not be a bad option. You get all the content at the expense of a few minutes of ads. Still not as onerous as cable. Once the financial situation improves you move up the value chain.
Speaking of The Andromeda Strain, I used to assume the safety measures of real life labs for pathogen research were comparable to what Crichton described in that book. Well, probably not with nuclear bombs rigged to sterilize the facility in case of an accident, but at least built remote and with serious quarantine procedures.

Apparently not. Apparently they build these places in the middle of cities and let workers go home every evening. Insanity.

Interestingly enough, this advice is bordering outdated. In the US, recent estimates put children being born to unwed parents at around 40%.

This varies by race and income- for example, since 1990 the rates for white parents doubled from 15 to 28%, whereas on the other end of the spectrum the rate went from 63 to 69% for children of black parents. Breaking down by economic, education and other levels follow more or less similar trends- big jumps at the low end of the range, small jumps on the upper end.

Edit- another interesting tidbit, divorce rates are highest among those over 55; presumably, parents whose children are now adults are moving on, whereas younger parents simply aren't getting married in the first place.

While I personally agree with the spirit of your definition (though I think it's incomplete) I don't think it's universal even amongst humans. You don't have to look far to see societies or people for whom "what is owed" isn't applicable. Eg. your conventional fascist society where justice means "what I have the power to do/take" (hence the Russia/Ukraine situation).
Having children is a greatest joy, purest love, and biggest happiness a person can experience. Sleepless nights and chores is nothing compared to what you get in return.

But it is also a source of endless worrying and fear for their safety and well-being.

Between unemployment insurance and minimum wage, we already have something like UBI, just mismanaged and with a lot of overhead.

Full-fledged UBI that provides decent living would require highly progressive taxes with the top bracket being in the ballpark of 70%. We could deal that down quite a bit if we start taxing capital gains properly, but even without that, it's neither impossible nor unprecedented.
