> Estimates are that around 16% of children are abused, so if you're only finding 5% it means you're substantially worse at choosing households to investigate than if you were picking at random.

Sampling iid would be unconstitutional and also obviously politically infeasible. So, the only people who are investigated are people for whom there is probable cause or at least an accusation.

Once you're sampling from a population for whom you have either probable cause or at least an accusation, the group under suspicion probably not an iid sample of the overall population and may even be skewed in the wrong direction. Eg, a physical abuser is more likely to conceal a bruise than the parent of a particularly careless child.

Additionally, suppose for sake of argument that abusers are in fact over-represented in the accused group. The behavior of both abusers and the abused confounds the statistical analysis. Consider alcoholism as an analogy (but also very correlated underlying pathology). Just like with alocholism, there are "high functioning" abusers who are able to avert suspicion and, in case of suspicion, manipulate the people who they are abusing.

So we are sampling from a constrained population in which abusers may in fact be under-represented, and then again within that group there are confounding issues.

None of this is to say that we should abandon constitutional rights, of course. But in a country with strong protections for the accused we might actually expect certain types of crimes to be more difficult to investigate and prosecute than a "just iid sample" approach.

(It's also possible that the estimates are wrong, and in both directions. It's additionally possible that the 16% statistic refers to a different definition of abuse than the 5% number. Etc. etc.)
Personally, I found the "DIY" edition to be great. It was REALLY easy (probably took me 10 minutes, but could be done under 2 with practice), and by needing to "assemble" the product myself, I got much more comfortable opening it up.

Since getting my OG framework, I've needed to open the case a couple times to clean the keyboard, which isn't something I've ever felt safe doing with previous laptops.
Interesting, from the article:

> Does the fact that an olive oil does not have your seal mean that the olive oil is not authentic?

> The answer is emphatically no. According to a study conducted by scientists from the FDA in a study published in 2015 that the risk of purchasing a bottle of adulterated EVOO is low (less than 5%). The scientists randomly sampled 88 bottles of EVOO that they purchased from supermarkets and online stores, and did not find a single instance of adulteration

I wonder where the opposite fact that I hear on the internet that most olive oil is adulterated comes from.
That’s so obviously not true. Come on.
I don't experience it personally. Though I believe there can be a tendency for people to look down on northerners, the closer you get to London.

Don't worry about it! I only meant it as tongue-in-cheek response and didn't wish to upset.
Unless you need 3.9+ features, we’ve found Pyston to be considerably faster than any of the recently performance oriented CPython releases.

Why would she lose her license over this? Is it just a weird country/law?

I'm curious because my therapist said I probably have CPTSD (not as severe as your ex had it, though; to the point it doesn't even sound like CPTSD to me).
Your suggestion seems to be that requiring warrants is going to make the investigations more efficient (as poorly evidenced cases will not result in a search).

I would love to see evidence there, I think that's wishful thinking. Requiring warrants will simply mean fewer searches. I understand those who think that's a fair balance for individual rights. But I don't see it uncovering more abuse. I see it uncovering less, resources being kept equal.
I did this (wrote pseudo-random crap, not using an AI) in high school English class for a poetry assignment. The teacher said it was amazing work and the best he's read in a long time. He even wrote about it in the progress report sent to my parents. I don't know if he fell for it or if he was just pulling my leg even harder. The man had a sense of humor.
>> Release early and often

> Uhh, I really don't think it's a good advice for gamedev.

It is, but it leaves out a crucial bit of information, namely who is the audience to whom the game is released. It's important to get feedback early, especially gameplay feedback. At the same time, failed releases to the general public do little to inspire confidence or provide the valuable kind of feedback required in the early phases of development.
Good question, these are definitely on our radar and very possible with how it's currently setup.

For us, we're trying to strike the balance of nocode and lowcode so a lot of the advanced features of version control and approval flows are not a priority for a lot of our users. I imagine this will change as we grow though
The iOS 12 update mentioned is for webkit

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213428

Depending on your Android version the equivalent is either webview or Chrome.

The requirements for which are Android 5 and Android 4 respectively (according to a 3rd party website I found- the play store annoyingly doesn't list system requirements).

These were released 2014 and 2011.

Sometimes I think Google should be more in your face about app updates, especially ones that would be considered part of the operating system in other ecosystems.
3 - The instruction set is made of fixed length instructions

TBH there are various mostly-Apple/TSMC-"exclusive" tricks too, for why their chips are better than the others:

A - On Apple Silicon, pages are larger, but not too large

B - there are various accelerators leveraged by libraries provided in the OS (or the provided toolchains, etc.)

C - Apple got to use the best TSMC process years before the competition.

D - TSMC is ahead (I'm curious of what Zen4 will give on laptop, btw)

So it's mixed. The ARM ISA probably plays a small role in the perf of Apple Silicon vs. x86 chips, but is probably not the main cause of the perf gap.
Thank you for engaging!

Are you saying it isn’t enough to have a model? That it must be accurate in all ways to be an adequate explanatory model?

Describing the spin of an atom as spin is explanatory—but only incompletely. It still has value.

In this case, the article described how astrocytes and neurons interact in some way that can produce properties of transformers. Correct? Why, in your opinion, is this a fruitless end? We won’t find a memory system or CPU either, but we may find accumulators and registers, and we are damn likely to find convolutions.

Why not attempt to explicate a mechanism for transformer-based computation in the brain? Maybe they are wrong. But to call this pseudoscience…
> a quick Google search turns up quotes like "the US is on pace to run out of room in landfills within 18 years"

People talk about fake news, but this sort of stuff (which is fake news also) damages credibility immensely.
That wasn’t what I was trying to say.

I know there is Windows only software. I know there is software that’s better on Windows.

I don’t care if people switch to Mac.

They should all have the choice of a chip as good (or reasonably close) to the M1.

But they don’t. And it doesn’t look like that’s changing. And I find that sad.
I would love to know what percentage of that budget has anything to do with development vs advertising. I see ads for games on buses, billboards, tv commercials, etc that do not seem cheap.
There should be some sort of tax on plastic bottles with less than half gallon (~ 2 liters) of liquid in them.
I bet you could theoretically do it but idk how you can practically cut 3/4 of the staff and not get rid of some critical folks by accident. Plus who wants to stay on and be the last 25% not your best performer they well quit on their own before you fire them
I do wonder if a cloud bubble is actually popping.

For small orgs you have Heroku, etc. Having a dumb place to run code or turn on a service is really valuable. Especially when it comes with an SLA and support.

Above a certain level you probably adopt k8s for different components, and just want to treat your cloud as a commodity. Then you realize, like base camp has, any kind of compute - even static servers you own - also does the trick and can also run k8s.
Maybe you could do a 10 year stock grant that is fully vested regardless of employment, and grant the same amount at the same schedule each year (or more frequently) so number of options is proportional to length of employment?
Why would I spend my energy and time to investigate a story from a source with such a low credibility(i.e fox news)? It's like reading Russia Today to understand the reasons and the current status of the war in Ukraine. Surely I can find something of value there but who has time and skills to extract that value?
They could make a m1 SE in late 23 with a plastic case as old MacBooks, same ports of m1 air, slightly less battery and 1080p screen at 500$
and it will sell like crazy.
Honestly I think most managers would rather lose someone with 1 year tenure than 5 years.

One year is plenty of time to make many meaningful contributions, especially if the employee is already experienced. You might not get the super deep knowledge to drive roadmaps and cross team projects. But it's definitely not going to be a net negative unless the employee is just bad (so not likely to make it to a year).

Don't compare the right person staying only one year to the right person staying 3 years. Compre them to no hire, or to the wrong person being hired. Getting amazing people who want to stay with you forever is really rare.

Indeed. Also, Outloook for Mac also uses Spotlight to search emails and this seems to break for a lot of people.

The only way to fix it is to do some command line mumbo jumbo like rebuilding the Spotlight index and deleting index folders.
Procedural generation is the wild frontier. It's like a visit from aliens.
I’m not arguing people should switch to an M1 Mac.

I’m trying to say I think people should have the option of something like it on Windows, not just the hot/power hungry stuff out there today.
This! Why does everyone think that other people in the meeting need to see them in high rez? The lower rez also uses less network bandwidth.

Is there a recipe of 'off the shelf' components that could be mixed together by a layperson and have a high likelihood of being an order of magnitude more durable?

Or is the tailoring of the mix to the environmental conditions going to be a more significant factor than the components?

I think it looks the same and just becomes less profitable. Design trends propagate slower because iteration is slower.

Most AI/high powered stuff has not really added much value to the average end users so they wouldn’t have missed it. It would be a toy for geeks which is kind of what it is now.
I guess that says something about the concessions some of us will do to avoid using MacOS.

> at least tweak some things

That's really understating the problem. Oracle, for example, can be wildly different from MySQL or PostgreSQL. SQLite makes selects extremely cheap, so cheap, that if you try to do a straight migration to a server-based DB it will probably just choke. Assuming any devs on your team realized the benefits of SQLite and took advantage of them.

But it gets worst with SQL on things that are not relational DBs. The exact person that SQL-on-Elasticsearch is designed for is also going to be the person that won't know the idiosyncrasies of Elasticsearch well enough to know when they are in trouble.[1] They will end up trying to get explanations for what is going on in Elasticsearch in terms of what they know (i.e. SQL on a relational DB). The end result will then be confusion and ultimately re-learning Elasticsearch from the ground up.

One can swipe between virtual desktops on Windows 10 and 11 too, provided one has a Touchpad model from the last 10 years.
I agree that this isn't the consumer's problem, but I don't agree government policy or taxes incentivize anything but fraud. Do we really need even more government contractors?
Did you get the 11th gen or the 12th gen? The 11th gen experience is largely free of issues (after a few BIOS updates), but the 12th gen experience is composed almost entirely of them.
Literally nobody claims that googled code can be used without agreement from the author.
When I was a novice first starting vim I was given great advice that I followed for many years: avoid custom mappings. It's tough to learn vim if you confuse its mappings.

When I was an intermediate user of vim for several years I had drastically custom mappings because I thought I knew enough and knew better. I thought I had a good excuse, too: I was using a different keyboard layout and I might as well remap everything.

As an aged user of vim, I can't call myself "advanced" or an "expert" user I don't think, I've returned to the wisdom of the sages: avoid custom mappings. I still need some moderate remappings for my keyboard layout but have come back around to "the less I remap, the better".

Reminds me of a passage in Jesse Schell's game design book. Playtesters were confused seeing flags of pirate ships blow forward, toward the front of the ship. They were told that sailing ships have the wind at their backs, so everything blows forward. However, so many playtesters were confused and made comments that they just made the flags blow back.

Maybe it was the same with the pigs; people just want to see pigs squealing around town, adding to the atmosphere of the game.
Yesterpig is a great word
I also had this issue. You can easily solve the problem by disabling the Windows update service in Services.msc.
Trying to set up Ory was really hard though.

It’s like all these ostensibly OS libraries deliberately make it hard to set up to drive you to their paid offering.
Oddly, my county (Fairfax Co, VA) stopped collecting glass, but continues to collect plastic. IIRC, the problem was broken glass clogging up the sorting machinery.

Those new error messages look divine compared to what we've had up until now! They seem like they might have been inspired by Rust's error message format to me, but I'm not sure. I'm just happy that I won't have to split chained operations onto individual lines anymore just to have any ability to debug them with the regular old stacktrace errors.
Every browser has instances of being the holdout on features, Safari does not stand out, especially amongst CSS features. Safari hasn't shipped touch-action, overflow-anchor, media queries range syntax. Chrome hasn't shipped the new viewport units, font-variant-alternates, or CSS subgrid. Chrome not supporting CSS subgrid is far more consequential than any CSS feature Safari is the holdout on.

Edit: Safari also has no support for CSS counter styles or CSS paged media while Chrome and Firefox have at least partial support. Again, those don't seem particularly consequential features for moving web design forward.

I'll admit that after reading about the train wreck that is Intel's Linux support for their 12th gen platform, my first thought was "ooh, maybe Ryzen frameworks next".

The (other) dream would be an Apple M1/M2-comparable ARM CPU, but I don't think those even exist, let alone are feasible for a consumer laptop.

Fingers crossed.
> it's OK to blame both at the same time.

You either do compatibility testing, and frame the marketing around the truth, or you have pissed off customers. There's not really an alternative in the hardware world. The logo on the exterior of the product is who they'll, rightfully, blame.
I'm not sure I understand your argument.

It's not how many CO2 molecules per molecule of thing being burned. It's about how many CO2 molecules per joule of energy released.

You'd have to look at the enthalpy (delta H) of these combustion reactions to make a meaningful comparison, correct?
We would have most of what is now, as most of what we have now as concepts was programmed long ago.

Things would have been leaner, to the point and with less force on the CPU.

There are some good things better possible due to more powerful CPU, for instance virtual machines, even though that concept is also a old one originating from IBM mainframes, as are relational databases and sql.

Also programming languages became better and have better and more complete stdlibs.

I guess most contemporary user software we have today are slow, ugly and even irrelevant variants of better older versions.

Developer software does somewhat better as it does not need pretty pictures.

Pigs were recorded in Domesday as having woodland to support them. Note that woodlands supporting pigs was primarily comprised of oak, since the pigs fed on the acorns they dropped.

Source 1: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/discover-domesd...

In the modern world, you can manage about 5 pigs per acre. You should be able to do that many pigs or more per acre in the medieval world since the animals were physically smaller for the most part. So in an 80 acre pannage woodland, expect about 400 swine.

Some tree types are far more damaged by pig foraging than others since, if they don't get the yummy acorns, they tend to dig up roots, eat the saplings and do other damage. So the oak and the pig are good neighbors. The elder or the olive tree, or even the wild apple tree, all tend to suffer far more damage when used as pannage.

Source 2: https://acrcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Pigs-and-Trees....
Yeah, but insights occur in parallel. Let's assume that you get the moment of insight 2 years after a initiative launch and you launch one new initiative every 6 months. After 2 years, you've seen one insight or 0.5 insights/year. After 3 years, you've seen 3 insights or 1 insight/year. After 5 years, 7 insights and 1.4 insights/year. 10 years, 17 insights, 1.7 insights/year.

The rate asymptotes but there's still significant benefit for a tenure of 3 - 5 years.
Excel forces you to break down and structure your tables in a meaningful way. I find it much easier to spot errors in than a script personally.

I think how confident you feel with excel will depend of what you do with it and how you were taught to use it. Years of consulting basically drilled into me that all my tables should be built as if they were going to be delivered to a client who will need to understand them at some point. If you lack structure however, it quickly devolves into chaos.
zipcrypto...jk

I would always be hesitant to disclose what type of crypto you are using, unless I guess you have nothing important. I think veracrypt, 7zip, openssl are good. Probably anything that has been recently audited. Just make sure you are offline when decrypting or encrypting or else it may defeat the purpose.
I think you've said it all here. No substantial improvements and, if anything, it has set us back by allowing for even more gluttonous behavior.
According to the OP’s website:

> “In 2010, the UC Davis Olive Center, an organization created to promote the sale of California olive oil, published a report funded by California olive oil producers and companies. The purpose of the report was to make news that would discredit their competition – imported olive oils.”

https://www.aboutoliveoil.org/olive-oil-fraud

So it seems like these two organizations are at odds with each other. But the California study was based on subjective “taste tests” to identify fake olive oils… Big red flag there.
Imagine they did Mac on ARM like this, they wouldn't be done in 2045. Is there some big faction in Microsoft that just doesn't want Windows on ARM to succeed because it looks like they are trying to kill it by committee and the absolute complete lack of velocity.
This was the general sentiment when Apple was on PowerPC, and we were buying pricier mac laptops just because of the OS.

I don’t have actual experience on a windows machine right now, but if the linux subsystem is getting good enough, switching there could be worth the hardware and price penalty.

I have “job-hopped” a lot in my career. But, any time I’ve found a company that treats me well I’ve stayed as long as that was true. I’ve never jumped for money, contrary to popular belief, but rather due to cultural and leadership
changes that lead to disrespect towards employees.

To this day the best company I’ve ever worked for is a crucial part of my network as my former coworkers respected me greatly and formed a diaspora across the industry after we all left. Unfortunately that company is nearly nonexistent now thanks to mismanagement after a private equity acquisition.

I don’t think people “job hop” on a whim, they do it because companies don’t treat employees decently. It’s not necessarily pay, it’s basic respect and autonomy.
