No, a programmer should be able to read a small piece of code, understand the algorithm (especially given a summary in English), and understand what's wrong (a small, simple mistake).

Some people will be better at this than others. Programming (algorithms, etc.) is not something everyone is equally good at. I wrote this puzzle after reading the x86 assembly original, which I believe was written in the 1980's. I never executed the original code, except in my mind, but I know how it works.

I don’t mean the glyphs, “math as a language.”

I mean intuition for state change in our meat bags. I mean measuring and building things that fit what we’d call in language now a use case, has been a thing humanoids have done forever.

Literally engineering an easier life came before language.

The problem with language is it couples ideas to emotions. It does not couple outcomes to emotions.

For me, what makes a good audiobook is the narrator. It could be a great story, but a terrible narrator. Where as a great narrator could make a bad story good. Here’s my list:

The Cuckoos Egg by Clifford Stoll
Daemon by Daniel Suarez
Under the banner of heaven by Jon Krakauer
The Martian by Andy Weir (RC Bray version is far superior to will Wheaton’s version)
Anything read by Malcolm Gladwell
A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson, read by the author.

It also depends on what kind of book you like. I love the John Sanford Lucas Davenport series, because they are read by Richard Ferrone and he does an amazing job. Same with Daniel Silva, George Guidel narrates most of his books, and Scott Brick can make anything sound amazing.
As I understand it, the AIM-54 being too expensive for its utility and its function being less prioritized was part of the calculus of retiring the F-14, which happened after the AIM-54 was retired.
Can someone who did professional development on the Apple II at the time comment on what it was like? I was doing x86 DOS/Win/Unix development in the mid 90s for a Fortune 500 company, and even there we used some janky home-grown version control system that, if I recall correctly, required us to ftp our changes to some server somewhere. I know Apple had Projector[0] for Mac development with MPW (Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop[1]). Was there any sort of source control for the Apple II?

I have to admit it’s somewhat ironic that a company that made disk copying software didn’t have a backup copy of their source code.

Ridley Scott famously claimed that he “found the novel too difficult to read”. Dick was infuriated with the first draft of the film, and absolutely hated it, writing very sarcastic comments about it.

However, after the script was reworked, and Dick read it, he said "you read the screenplay and then you go to the novel, and it’s like they’re two halves to one meta-artwork, one meta-artifact."

This makes for some great reading delving into what Dick thought of the film.

I especially like Special Effects Chief David Dryer's recollection of what Dick said after watching the first reels:

> Dick looks me straight in the eye and says, ‘How is this possible? How can this be? Those are not the exact images, but the texture and tone of the images I saw in my head when I was writing the original book! The environment is exactly as how I’d imagined it! How’d you guys do that? How did you know what I was feeling and thinking?’

> “Let me tell you, that was one of the most successful moments of my career,” Dryer concludes. “Dick went away dazed.”

I also particularly liked Dick's comments about what the film meant to him:

> I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions. My life and creative work are justified and completed by Blade Runer. Thank you … It will prove invincible.
> So I conclude the system has other more important goals.

I think you are confusing "this system is bad at achieving its goals" and "this system has other goals". The goals of the prison system are really hard. Rehabilitating people is really hard.
I think we agree. I’m not saying these things don’t need to be done. I’m saying that “ capacity planning” shouldn’t be someone’s entire job.
Yep - VPS tunneling usually through nginx is how I get around it for my use cases.

Cheers on the co-op ISP - that's outstanding and I wish more places did that. In so many ways that's living the dream!
Yeah, running SIP on a standard port without some serious firewall based rate limiting for unknown traffic is almost impossible.

I tried running a PBX on UDP 5060 and got >4GiB of logged register attempts in a few hours after opening the port, while asterisk was running at 100% CPU just rejecting the registration attempts the whole time.

It's insane compared to any other public service I run.
Two things on how to get a better deal, which is how I have bought my cars since forever.

First, bank line of credit, or credit union loan to cover the cost of the vehicle. Usually far better rates, no early payoff penalties, they cannot repossess the vehicle if you stop payments because the loan/credit line isn't secured against the vehicle. And a line of credit can also be used for other purposes.

Second, Hertz fleet sales. Two or three years old. Top notch quality. Aim for the higher end or boring vehicles (higher end Audio & BMW, Lexus, Toyota Avalon, Range Rover) and they will have low mileage. Kia and the budget cars always have high mileage even on the newer vehicles.

In forty years we have only ever bought one "new" vehicle, and that was the off-lease company car that my wife had through her job - so we owned the vehicle for five years, then bought it for a song.

We purchased 2018 Toyota Avalon with all the optional extras at the tail end of 2019, under 20K miles, for about $18K. We just paid it off last month. Our credit union was happy to give us the loan and very happy for us to pay it off early, and there was no early payoff penalty.
nice article, fun project. I did cat 6e. Was gonna do fiber but my telco and modem dont support above 1 gig. but on the lan its 10g.
The uk is behind most of europe. Even east eu countries have fiber to a significant chunk of the population now, and west is doing great. In france i get 5Gb/1.2Gb for 49 euros. Switzerland is even better. When i sold routers to businesses they would always be gigabit fiber available, so much that i had stopped checking.

That said 25Gb is a lot outside of switzerland.

We called it "political correctness" then. It was a big deal back then, and subsided a bit in the 00s, to come roaring back in the 2010s.
Since prison is "arbitrary" and "ineffective" then you're likely wasting your time by visiting prisoners.

You should turn to a more productive activity perhaps. But to do that without regret you'll have to first ask yourself why you are willing to spend your time on prisoners.
Youd be surprised what you can do with a 40in drill bit and a wire snake. did my whole house and only had to repair 1 piece of dry wall.
I see this as a good excuse to no longer be backwards compatible by Sony.
Sure, it’s easy when you have the wall texture that is designed to look like a bad drywall job. If you’re trying to match the wall type found in 90% of American homes, there’s a huge difference in efficiency and quality between a DIYer and a professional mudder.

A good feathering job saves a ton of wasted sanding effort and drywall dust. When I ask GCs and tradespeople which job they would would never do themselves, drywall is far and away the most common answer. It’s the only job I regret doing myself.
You see what you want to see.
>The main issue is that we have time based sentences only for most crimes. Criminals should never be left back in society unless they prove themselves fit/worthy to come back.

So if this was the strategy of the U.S until about 2010 I suppose it would have been morally justifiable as an act of self-preservation to kill anyone that saw you smoking pot - assuming of course that there is such a thing as personal rights and people had the right to smoke pot, but the government prevented them from doing so.

on edit: perhaps I'm in a bad mood but I do find it astounding how often when one of these articles comes out about how inhumane the American prison system is, whole branches of the discussion devolve into conflicting ideas on how one can make it more inhumane.

I'm not sure. I always heard that the most severe punishment in Sweden is 10-18 years (the latter for murder). Although I wondered how prisoners would be treated there, I mean you're serving life in prison for a crime done at 19 years old, surely the guards shouldn't make their lives a living hell right?

Yes, the biggest issue is grid support and energy production. In total, if all daily driving was replaces with EVs overnight, it would increase electricity demand by ~25% total (or ~80% in residential use).

Still, expanding the grid is a no-brainer, because everyone who comes off petrochemicals are going to need electrification. So, if you can't expand the grid (slowly over time) you have bigger problems.
Yeah, like smoking weed. Or a 3rd strike misdemeanor.
You’re misunderstanding me slightly. I’d put systems administrators in the same category as developers, and I think so would Elon Musk and Larry Ellison.

> Many developers don't have the knowledge or confidence to use "amend" etc. consciously,

The secondary problem here is that GitHub (just to throw another complaint on the pile about GitHub) makes a dog's breakfast of tracking PR comments when things have changed. Amending and force pushing only seems to make it worse, so even though it should be the better workflow, it causes friction in a different place.
Yes, that happens. But what percent of folks in the criminal Justice system are that guy? 5%? 95%?

And what do we do to try to change those people so that they don’t do it again when they are released?

Gitea drama and all, I'm jobless right now, and wanted to try this as a fun experiment to work in meanwhile.

I don't want to fork. How hard could it be to implement this in rust+typescript.

I mean there's already gitlab(ruby) which is pretty slow in cheap hw. and also gogs/gitea which are go based.

Can I just make the backend in rust and make bank? Meaning not making money (that'd be harder) but making it run on a raspberry pi or whatever cheap vps good enough.

No, it's not. Electrolysis is extremely inefficient. There are some modern developments with advanced catalysts, but it's not something an average person can do.
You need to watch "Minority Report".

This is a form of argument that I call "Proof by horror story". It is a logical fallacy, a specific instance of a broader category of logical fallacies called faulty generalization [1]. To debunk it we only need to observe that just about any behavior can be predictive of committing a serious crime if you are willing to ignore false positives. But I'm not willing to ignore them. I think it's worse to incarcerate an innocent person than to let a guilty one go free.

If you're willing to imprison a thief for life because there is a chance they might go on to commit murder, why not imprison their family as well? After all, they might have the same bad genes as the thief. For that matter, why not keep everyone in solitary confinement? That guarantees that no one will be free to commit murder.

People's behaviors are unpredictable. Having some people occasionally go rogue is just the price we sometimes have to pay to live in a free society. If you don't like it you might want to consider emigrating to North Korea. Very few guilty people go free there.

You're personally excited about wide-angle lenses and you seem to be convinced that everyone else will feel the same way about them, for candids of friends and family, and I just don't think that's true. You say that longer lenses create "emotional distance" but this is, to be honest, one of the most horeshit photography opinions I've heard. The lens doesn't create emotional anything, it just changes what you get in the frame.

I like the way the photos in the article look. They're not your style.

I’ve spent time with a lot of other hobby photographers and there’s always a few people with preferences like yours, but it’s never been a majority, and most photographers I’ve met have the humility to recognize that their own personal choices aren’t automatically the right choices for others.

> Who cares. If you fail to capture a memorable moment because you were busy looking into the viewfinder focusing and framing, you fail, period. Very hard to do with a wide lens.

Framing is not a problem that goes away if you use wide-angle lens. You can shoot wide and crop later, but all you're doing is changing when you're making the framing decisions, and the crop-later approach has the disadvantage that when you crop, it's too late to reframe. Framing is not easier with wide-angle lenses versus normal lenses. It's easier to get something in-frame, but harder to keep something out.

There's no "default" lens which is right for everyone or every circumstance.

I'm also not sure why it would take me longer to frame or focus with a 50mm lens. For candids, I almost always use an autofocus camera these days. It focuses at the touch of a button.

> Wow. A prime of 90mm poses way too many constraints to work with.

I've been using a 90mm equivalent for a long, long time. It's my go-to lens for when a friend who's a makeup artist or costume designer wants a good picture of their work, or when somebody wants a simple portrait, and I think it's easy to work with.

Maybe I just got used to working within those constraints. And maybe... just maybe... you got used to working with the constraints of a 35mm lens, and you've forgotten what it felt like when you were first dealing with those constraints.

I've done a lot of personal with 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm equivalent primes. There's a reason why people who get a set of three prime lenses most often get three lenses in this range or something similar--like 28mm, 45mm, 110mm.

It's easy to fall in love with the look of a wide-angle lens and then get disillusioned with it. You find that you're including too much stuff in-frame that you don't want, or you find that you're shooting too close to people and they look distorted. That's why I recommend that people spend some time with a wide-angle lens before deciding if they want to purchase a camera with a fixed wide-angle lens, like the Ricoh GR III. The Ricoh GR III is like $900 and forces you to use a 28mm perspective or crop in post--not everyone is going to like that.
Why the question mark? Because you don't know. They led in this research.

This article was actually published more than 20 years ago, https://web.archive.org/web/20020603153119/http://vothphoto....

Some of its advice is timeless, but its context is back when your phone did not take great pictures. Instead, most people carried around no camera at all, and events went undocumented. Then, among people who decided they wanted to take pictures of wherever they were going, they bought point-and-shoots, which did not let you change the lens. Then, for those wanted to get serious, there were entry-level DSLRs, which often were sold with a bag and a kit lens, and for the vast majority of these owners, the thought of buying another lens seldom crossed their minds.

In short, this article is meant to expose the problem to people who did not even know they had a problem, and to offer a solution that was last thing they would have guessed.

(I don't think the author meant to mislead us about the original date of publication. It looks like he recently moved everything to Wordpress and may not be savvy enough to fix the date.)
Ha, I know that now I suppose. Honestly wasn't aware of that reputation before this thread. I thought it was a fairly nice-looking well-regarded service that I hadn't used; was surprised and turned off by the emails.

I owned the original X100 and used it for several years as my only camera. I tried to like it, embrace the "liberation" etc. But it did not work out and it got me to dislike the 35mm focal length.

35mm is kind of good as a universal focal length - wide enough for most needs and tele enough for basic "environmental" portraiture. But it's also "boring" in the sense that it can do most things, but does not really excel at anything. I noticed that I use it more and more as a point and shoot and my photography stagnated.

Then I got into another "need more lenses" phase settling again for mostly (though not exclusively) a single lens - but this time 53mm (= fuji xf 35mm). I feel more creatively alive - the lens is more fun in the sense that it excels more, but also requires more thought into it.

YMMV.
Wait 'till you find out how they get their training data :P

The AI world does not seem to give a toss about licensing. I admire the spirit of "make stuff first, worry about copyright later", but you at least have to pay lip service to the system if you don't want to get roadkilled when "later" comes too quick.

If you're on GitHub there is a fallback license in the TOS that covers forking and PRs, but you have nothing to protect you if you go off-site for whatever reason. It's there mainly to keep their users from getting sued for just being on GitHub. I don't remember how it interacts with multiple collaborating users all under the same fallback license; you may be able to argue implied license in that case, but implied license is even narrower than the GitHub fallback license.
Don’t forget (4) profit where forced labor is the norm as its refusal is tied to longer sentences. Also the cost per prisoner per day for us taxpayers is nothing short of obscene.
