I'm optimistic about them competing, since the other wikis they're affiliated with (the NIWA ones) are some of the biggest gaming wikis on the internet, and have thoroughly trounced their Wikia counterparts in terms of SEO and marketing. Very few people use the Mario, Pokemon and Smash Bros wikis on Fandom compared to the independent ones (Mario Wiki, Bulbapedia and Smash Wiki), and their interwiki links have already been updated to reflect the new domain.

Assuming the fans keep linking to the new one, the Fandom one should get buried as a result.
Why does it work worse in higher latitudes and closer to dawn and dusk?

The shadow of the tip of the stick will always move in a straight line from east to west right?
At high latitudes I could imagine the shadow gets so long that finding the tip might become hard.
Around dawn and dusk, what is the problem? Does the shadow become too faint? Does the shadow move to slow to give a big difference in position?

So they should specify things that influence cost such as total bytes served, number of files, etc. Currently all you can do it bypass the rule because you don't know how to cooperate.
For simple, once used projects, I don’t concern much with these aspects. But for a big projects, choosing your framework and dependency is always a big concern and should do it carefully. Investigate all your dependency is a must, not just for the security aspect.
And when you do it, you will convince yourself less is more and your team will re-create many things just to reduce the dependency.
It's precisely the reason dark matter tends to not fall into black holes. If you put a particle into an orbit around a black hole, it will basically do so forever as it needs to lose an enormous amount of energy to drop down to a low enough orbit.

Normal matter bumps into other normal matter when orbiting a black hole, heats up, and radiates away it's energy. This effect is most visible in the accretion disk of a black hole.

But dark matter can still fall into a black hole and it still tends to concentrate due to gravitational interactions. If a dark matter particle is on a path unlucky enough to intercept the event horizon, it will of course not orbit. Also, gravitational interactions between dark matter particles or just normal matter can cause an exchange of energy, with one of the particles losing energy.

Oh, and if dark matter falls into a black hole, it just makes the black hole a little bigger. There's no way to externally tell that the black hole contains dark matter.

UnreachableException has no special behaviour at all [0]. It's just a standardized 'tag' around regular Exception.

The only advantage of using a standard tag is that it will be recognized by other programmers, and maybe some supporting tooling might choose to give it special treatment.

E.g. a code analyzer could warn you if you raise a NotImplementedException (forgot to finish a feature?), but accept an UnreachableException as valid.

If you want to add a custom name (for easier grepping maybe?) or stuff some extra data in the exception, you can still inherit from UnreachableException.

I hear you. I’ve been lucky to work on dev experience in a platform team so I do agree that this is a platform teams job. I wonder though as our stacks mature and things normalize, if there’s a chance to do some thinking and organize systems from first principles to create a platform that suits the vast majority of app development. If a team outgrows it, maybe that’s a call for a platform team.

I’m trying to imagine though what a platform team might look like in a world like that. A lot of dev ops teams today work around cloud configs and terraform for example instead of bash scripts and hardware. Maybe platform teams of the future think of plugins and modules for these imagined systems instead of building on top of a lot of low level stuff.
"Treating remote resources truly abstractly" doesn't work in practice. Too many points of failure in our systems, and you really, really don't want to paper them over with abstraction if you want to build a fault-tolerant system.
I agree with you that there isn't always value in what people say, no matter their mode.

Being more of a 'wait' mode my self, I sure have had very long, slow and 'boring' conversations with other 'wait' oriented people before.

In those instances I have usually suggested to change the subject matter by way of 'I'm sorry but would you mind if we shift the conversation over to x?'.

Usually to great success.

This article doesn't seem to be grounded in reality.

I see self-checkouts, electronic toll collection, vending machines, automation of assembly lines, robots doing order picking in warehouses, self-driving trains in airports and many others replacing hourly workers today.

However, I am not aware of any AI-system replacing a middle manager.

I know it is popular to hate on middle-managers. But good middle manager culture is probably one of the best predictors of company performance.

This seems to be a recurring confusion in this thread: the boring aspect is a consequence of certain other factors, it is not a reason in itself for interruption. It would be rude in my opinion to interrupt someone and change the subject because they are being boring. However, if you consider the specific examples I gave you'll see it's not about it being generically boring, it's about the speaker having a misunderstanding of the knowledge-state of their listener.

In attempt to say it with absolute clarity: interruptions that shift topic are rude and I would not advocate for them
Reminds me of this other article I read a while ago in that thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32545023

Definitely an interesting thought. I think there are problems with both interrupting and waiting.

Interruption works only if the other person works in the same way. It can, however, be very efficient because the flow of the conversation is much faster. It also simply does not work in group settings.

Waiting allows to converse with the most people, but it is harder to do and requires much effort to put into practice correctly. It also relies on people talking in short bursts to simply provide their input on the topic at hand, so there's still a certain amount of discipline required.

That's why I prefer text-based conversation. You can come back to what other people said easily, have less trouble remembering what you want to provide input on, and can skip the parts you already know about. It takes more time than verbal communication, but it's truly the best way to communicate in my opinion. The only real problem is that you lose an important part of communication; physical cues, tone, etc. Text has a lot of trouble conveying emotions.

Why do you believe that? These taxis will increase the number of vehicles on the road, because

Those "more people" will be bus riders and the housebound, and extra trips by people who already use cars in one form or another. The latter's own cars will be parked somewhere. Everyone commutes at the same time of day, no-one wants to share with randos.
I use discotel for years now, it is basically a prepaid with automated recharge from bank invoice on O2/Eplus. Thanks to being a prepaid you always got the option to switch you setup via packets every 30 days or 4 weeks (have to check that again, it was a fixed day amount and not based on calander months anymore).

So if I'm not traveling I stay with the cheapest data option for my occasionally otg stuff and on heavy travel months I choose larger packages, because I found myself using more often, for example as access point to notebook.

I also have an Kaufland (Telekom) Prepaid card, that said it would provide basic, very slow internet, for free so that text messages over chat works, bur I don't know if I got the wrong APN settings, it has problems in my second slot or it only works if you top it up regularly, but that internet and rest never really worked, even the account management over the website doesn't really work for me.
The point I was replying to was:

> it’s interesting they chose to implement their own intermediate language, as opposed to just sticking to LLVM IR and “outsourcing” the problem of code generation

I was not replying to:

> It’s still interesting that they’ve stuck to it for 20 years after LLVM’s release.

Changing the backend from their own IL to LLVM IR several years later is not exactly a "just sticking to LLVM IR" story. Knowing that C-- predates LLVM explains why they chose to implement their own IL.
True, but then how do you know the library was built with the code in the repository? This could introduce a security risk.
Moving the file elsewhere won't fix it. They are serving terabytes of traffic on Access Denied, it won't go away if that changes to "Not Found" instead, the developers seem already entirely ready to ignore their adblocker just not working.

How does this article's findings correlate in countries with other cut offs?

Like in Norway, everyone born the same year go to school together, even though the school starts in September. (Which confused me a lot when reading Harry Potter as a kid, as some dates there didn't "add up"). We segregate sports teams that way as well, making it often better to be a jan/feb kid, as you're always the biggest/strongest, and thus get the extra attention, training opportunities etc, so a bias towards those birthdays in our sports.

You are right and this is bad news, because AI middle management is still inevitable. Currenlty, AI more or less manages taxi drivers in different places around the world, also telesupport personnel and other positions like those.

I was “diagnosed” with ADD and was put on ritalin which had 0 affect on me. Wasn’t until later in life I realised I didn’t have ADD I just wasn’t enjoying parts of school.

ADD is over diagnosed.

It's ironic that Mercury is the chosen example of a discrepancy in an existing theory requiring a revision, because as I understand it MOND being based on Newtonian gravitation can't explain Mercury's actual orbit either. So it purports to solve one problem (galaxy scale gravitation) while re-introducing one we already solved. This makes it a bit weird that the example of Mercury is so often used in arguments for MOND.

Putting aside other factors for a moment, a rigorous test surely depends on the dose.

Stimulants like lisdexamfetamine can be titrated over a period of several weeks to determine effectiveness and tolerance of the dose, which are unknown until tested - that doesn't seem quick to me and indicates that clinicians can't expect a binary response from a one-off dose.

Sure, that presentation was masterclass marketing.

But keep in mind that most of the innovations they made were in improving accessibility (admittedly very important) and even the core enabling technology of those improvements wasn't developed in-house, but obtained through an acquisition of Fingerworks. There were full-screen phones before iPhone (in particular a design from Sony which is referenced as an influence for the iPhone) and smartphones in general had been in the market, covering most of the same use cases, for about half a decade.

You know what other presentation of his is amazing? The Macintosh one. You know, the product that knocked off Xerox. The iPhone was a huge milestone, but it wasn't a gift from god, Apple builds on the shoulders of giants like everyone else does.

I'm very well aware of how "heritability" is studied. It is defined to be a correlation, so twin studies do not estimate heritability. They attempt to estimate how much heritability is explained by gene expression being the cause of the relevant behaviour.

Twin studies assume a model of environmental variation which cannot be evidenced, because the relevant target of study (a human being in its environment) cannot be experimented on to evidence anything. Twin studies are not RCTs (which are themselves the minimum an experiment needs to be to count as science).

Indeed, the assumed model of the interaction between genes and the environment is *plainly false* (namely, that "equality" between environments exists and that it has linear non-feedback, non-cyclical effects).

Twin studies on star signs would likewise produce as compelling evidence that star signs cause personality. (Can you see why that would be?)

Science requires such experiments take place. No amount of post-hoc analysis of correlation can produce a causal explanation. One must control causes to do so.

Hence, much of this abuse of statistics is unreporducible pseudoscience; it is well known to be outside these fields by anyone with any credible understanding of statistics.

Every chemist will defend physics; and every chemist, biology. And every biologist neuroscience.

Can you cite me anythihg other than the abject horror of real scientists outside these fields on reading their reports?

I'm sorry to break the news: this is peudoscience in the tradiiton of pseudoscience which was invented by psychology's repurposing of statistics for post-hoc analysis of correlation on human data (ie., the most complex systems known to exist) which fails even basic tests of scientific credibility.

Complex systems resist study by the use of the scientific method, and require the best minds in modelling and statistics to even produce "rule of thumb" models (eg., consider the climate).

What we have in heritability, psychometric, etc. research is loons studying the climate (ie., analogously, humans) by putting thermometer readings into GUI stats software and publishing the results.

They're fools. Neo-homeopaths, whose lab coat is "statistics"/.

Kind of? /sdcard/ (a misnomer, it's just really a directory like /home/user/ on unix) perms are asked all the time by apps that don't need it at all because developpers don't understand that apps have their own config directory free of permissions, so they put stuff in /sdcard/ which triggers the perm popup.

In this case i'm worried because /sdcard/ perms give acces to all downloads, and all pictures, downloaded or taken. This, coupled with the UAEs track record concerning LGBTQ rights and digital surveillance, adding to the fact there is no discernable reason this app needs /sdcard/ access is troubling. Imagine installing the app, and getting put in prison because you have pictures with your gay partner on it.
Have an AI optimize schedules and 'general utility'. Then build a second AI that explains why the previous outcome was best.

If you have results that actually are better scheduling than done by a human, with plausible explanations that most people affected agree with, you might be able to replace managers.

What scares me, is that we would be training the second AI to convince us to believe it, rather than training it to tell the truth.
Exactly my sentiment. AI in most cases is too dumb. At best it creates an illusion of doing something useful.

Healthy competition between modern init systems: runit, openrc, s6, systemd... This choice should be yours when you install a system.
