> The best way to prevent a divergent representation is to avoid including undefined behavior in a program. That’s not particularly actionable advice, though.

I mean... It is pretty actionable TBH. There are sanitizers you can use to detect UB. You could use a memory safe language. You could use a fuzzer. You could improve your test coverage. You could use static analysis tools. All of these can help reduce the chance of UB in your program.
The same goes for non visual things.

Fingers crossed open ML implodes the tech labor industry by empowering owners of actual hardware rather than a bunch of middle men employees
this falls in line with how i feel about cloud run, it really feels like a much better abstraction than ecs/gke or functions. it also is more similar to how most devs currently work, and local dev is the same. for non-api based traffic, like queues, it has some really weird quirks, like the autoscaler is problematic. but our experience with gcp in general has ranged from mediocre to bad, where the tech seems cool but things dont quite fit together
What you describe is independent of gender. If one parent could sustain a household, marriage becomes a bit easier - you can divide family responsibilities.

But today you often need both partners to work, leaving both too tired to own all the household labor.

I wonder if we'll see an increase in polycules to address this and/or a return to multigenerational housing.

Hermes: A plan for a better social media
The problem I see is, that those people are not the "80s movies bachelors" (with enough money, flashy clothes, nice houses and cars.. and well, drugs and sex), but people literally living on the edge of their financial capabilites, sharing 3 bedroom apartments with 5 more people, barely able to afford the rent and bills, and pretty much everything left over is going for entertainment (drug and sex). With the coming financial crisis (caused again by dick-measuring politicians) a rise in eg power and heat bills with already overinflated rents and layoffs will cause more and more people to basically "not-lose-anything" if they actually get violent.

Sadly, the governments solve this by taxing the "rich" (=middle class, because the actual rich always avoid the taxes, and engineers, coders, tradesmen etc. are the one who get fucked), bringing everyone (except the actual rich) to some low minimum needed to survive while still being fucked in every other sense. So yeah... the only way this can be solved is (in my, controversial opinion), is for people to actually get angry and replace the whole set of politicians and people in bed with them.
Funny how markets and analysts lose their minds when the numbers don't match exactly the predicted when there are no error bars associated to either the estimate or the value.

> What a hot mess.

1) I grant you that it does seem that way in many respects, but an average person's perception of how Twitter currently is functioning is heavily impacted by journalists who have a direct conflict of interest in keeping their privileged position intact. All I'm saying is, we might not have a perfect picture of how Twitter is actually operating at the moment.

2) Sometimes moving fast and breaking a few things is better in the long run than the perfect plan that never comes into fruition. It might take Elon a bit of time to understand the organization better, but I'd always bet on somebody with an engineering mindset to understand how to a complex system operates.
It’s worth pointing out that the last row on a plane often doesn’t recline, so the idea of everyone reclining is a bit of a red herring. That said, you do know that when you book your flight (if you’re wealthy enough to pay for a specific seat), so it could be considered one of flyings many taxes on the less than wealthy.

Isn't the YoY inflation definitionally equivalent with running (geometric) mean of the past 12 (annualized) monthly increases?

The work on VSCode began before Atom appeared. This talk by Erich Gamma about the history of VSCode is very interesting: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/events/visual-studio-code-...

When Erich Gamma joined the Visual Studio team in 2011, he set on creating a coding platform for the web, starting with the Monaco editor. This was followed by efforts to bring an IDE to the browser such as Monaco Workbench and Visual Studio Online IDE. However, those didn't attract many users, so the team decided to pivot to the desktop with Project Ticino using Electron by GitHub, and thus born VSCode as we know today. Arguably, this pivot has been wildly successful, from which blossomed many nice technology such as LSP, RDP, and remote coding. It is only natural that they now work on bringing VSCode back to the browser, completing the most transformative revolution in code editor for the past 10 years.
To be fair, a lot of the comp in those low paying government jobs can be recovered by the employees of those jobs asking the people they're serving for a little "extra" to speed up the process.
Around 10 GBs of data, on the standalone version. We will have systematic benchmarks when the API, syntax, etc. settle down a little bit.

It reminds me of the Burrs from my Rancilio Rocky Coffee Grinder:

As someone tall (6'2") who regularly flies (~50-100 times a year) I'm pretty horrified at some of these responses. Yes, reclining the seat in front of me is marginally more uncomfortable on my knees - though offset by reclining my own seat.

But if I have to sit in a non-reclined seat for more than an hour or two, there's a pretty big chance I'll wake up with my head bobbing forward and in horrific neck/lower back pain.

I tend to fall asleep pretty quickly on most flights (long or short haul), recline my seat soon after takeoff and keep it reclined until final approach. Not once in 500+ flights has anyone ever complained or asked me to sit up - and it wouldn't even cross my mind to ask anyone to do the same! It's their seat, their recline, that's what the button's for. Who am I to prioritize my own comfort over theirs (especially when the impact to mine is minor compared to how much I gain from reclining)...
It's basically a digestive membrane. The parallels between the Ikea shop design and an intestinal tract is striking.

That's true, but at some point, since late 80s and early 90s, this shifted radically in Europe. Can't speak for northern America though.

It may be that those with lower incomes spends more on a smartphone because it is their only way to access the internet.
Agree about the excessive spam. To include attacks and bashing of other programming languages. It's very obvious what's going on and looks like it's going over the top, as if a concerted effort and mode of operation.
If it's someone famous who hasn't "verified" themselves OR someone who says they are a certain famous person who wasn't previously on Twitter, then it would be best to contact their PR rep going forward to be really 100% sure.
I'm not a fan of blandness, but those counterexamples left me cold. I'm reserving judgement on the Cybertruck until I see how it works out when people are driving it on public roads, but Liquid Death is a product in a sector that barely has reason to exist, differing from its competitors only by its marketing gimmick.

Also, how long until some smoothbrain who thinks it's hilarious to drive around drinking Liquid Death gets pulled over by a cop who thought (or were willing to claim they thought) they saw a beer can, and said smoothbrain ends up getting arrested for the other stuff in their car?
That literally leads to the conclusion that prices rose, in your example.
Now we're in a prisoners dilemma, aren't we?
IIRC It was "web first": See the presentation from Erich Gamma: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/events/visual-studio-code-... approx. minute 6.
Why is this causing USD/EUR exchange rate to fall? And in general USD to lose value compared to other currencies.

My guess is that expectation of higher inflation was combined with expectation of further interest rate increases to combat it. Interest rate increases generally make currency more attractive for investments from abroad, which increases exchange rate.

This expectation was "priced in" current exchanged rates and now the market has corrected.
Shop around airlines, you can find some that offer a middle ground - Premium Economy or Exit Row.

At 6'2" I've never really had a problem with someone reclining in front of me, and if someone behind asked nicely I'd go to upright lock position.

Of course, I usually don't have a foot bag which makes a big difference.
It’s called premium economy and it exists on most major airlines.
Which is what's caused a size-war with cars. Your own safety by being the bigger car comes at a detriment to someone else's safety, and as cars, especially trucks, have gone off the deep end in this regard they've become downright negligent.

I say this as a benefactor of the bigger-car-wins situation, as my father is still with me by virtue of being in the bigger car recently. It's selfish but it's also sensible if everyone else is going to be in a bigger car, and so I think it's something that could only be curtailed by regulation.

Relying on "voting with dollars" for something like this is not going to work, because that requires an idealized free market.

Air travel is not an idealized free market. Frankly, nearly nothing in our current circumstances even comes close to acting like an idealized free market, because one thing that requires is enough disposable income for all parties that paying more for something preferred is not likely to cause significant financial hardship. (And before anyone says "but it's only an extra $12 for premium economy" or whatever, it's not just this specific choice—it's about the mindset that you have to adopt when your purchasing power is so constrained, to consider every decision and try to be frugal.)
There is: premium economy.

Also, business/first class is often much less than 5-6x the economy price. In fact I'm not sure I've ever seen it that much higher.
It's not "Inflation". It's straight up wage theft by the rich. They're jacking up prices and blaming (hand-wave) Inflation to extract more profit. And no, workers wages being bumped up to $15/hr is no excuse. Look no further than the profits.

Iron Mountain CEO says he's been 'praying for inflation' because it means he can raise prices

https://www.businessinsider.com/ceo-praying-for-inflation-ra...

------------------

Leading grocery chains such as Kroger (KR) and Alberstons have said in recent days that they expect to benefit from rising prices. Sales boomed at these chains and other grocers during the early stages of the pandemic, but have slowed down in recent months as more people return to eating meals out.

“Our business operates the best when inflation is about 3% to 4%,” Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen said on an earnings call with analysts Thursday. “A little bit of inflation is always good in our business.”

Some of the things she's doing for marketing right now:

- Making videos for TikTok. She has over 1000 followers already, up from 0 a few months ago. She's slowed down on it recently, mainly because she has to focus on writing her book.

- She sent out copies of ARCs in exchange for a promise to leave a review on Amazon, so she had about 30 reviews on the day of the book's release (thankfully very positive)

- Contests to win ARCs (advanced reader copies) that involve following her social media

- Contests to win physical books and swag after answering questions that prove you read the book. She's also purchased a mug press and a sublimation machine so she can make her own swag. She's already made custom buttons, bookmarks, tumblers, stickers (she bought the stickers though), etc.

- Scheduling and participating in social media 'takeovers' (mainly reader Facebook groups) where she schedules a timeslot to engage with a group's members with games, contests, polls, and comments back and forth, usually for a couple of hours at a time

- Exchanging slots with other writers to promote each other's books in each other's email newsletters (she puts them out weekly).

- She tried Instagram and wasn't getting anywhere near as much engagement there, so she's mostly stopped that.

- She also tried buying Facebook ads and didn't have much luck there.

I couldn't say for sure what worked the best, although based on conversations with her, giving out ARCs, posting videos on TikTok, and Facebook group takeovers seem to be the most effective for her so far.

She didn't just throw anything up there for TikTok videos, either. She consumed a good amount of TikTok herself for research (I think she kind of turned herself into an addict in the process, but that's not uncommon with that platform), sees what audio clips are trending, and makes her own variation on them that also promotes her book.

I'm sure she's doing other things as well. She likes to experiment and see what's working for her and not. She also attended several online classes given by established authors (which also let her network other people taking the course, and participate in almost weekly discussions with them), and I know she's signing up for another online course that her writer friends recommended to improve her TikTok game even more.
Was this a problem the internet invented? It used to be that no one seemingly cared and everyone reclined their seat as soon as takeoff was over. I guess the modern era is creating new unwritten social contracts.

For what it's worth - I never mind. I get to partake in the miracle of flight. And they only give you, like, 3 inches of recline anyway. Just take it.
> Java is the least cross platform language in existence.

That's extremely hyperbolic. Try writing a cross OS program in C or C++ and tell me how it goes. #ifdefs everywhere.

Running a Java program through maven or gradle is very straight forward. Versioning works really well. Not to mention the excellent cross platform handling implementations built into the JVM.
Are they data sensitive in terms of trusting your saas to survive and wanting export/backups? Or data sensitive in terms of not trusting the security of your saas to secure certain pieces of sensitive data?

If it's the second, one idea I have considered building is a proxy operated by customer that replaces sensitive data with a token and then passes it onto your systems. Any responses that need to display/reveal the data can then have the sensitive data swapped back in based on the permissions of the user making the request. This puts the sensitive data fully in control of the proxy and it never touches the saas app.

Even before that, Sneakers “predicted” the NSA spying on its own citizens. I use quotes because it happens too often to be happen stance IMHO.
Yes and no, it depends whether you mean verified as in "Twitter verified" or verified as in "the journalist verified this is the genuine person".

Their job is to verify who it is that they're quoting. Having a blue tick (then and now) doesn't guarantee that the twitter account is genuine, but there are other ways to check this stuff.
Yes, and that's how Pixels work as well. The condition in question here is of course when the secure enclave releases the keys and mounts the storage.

Samsung also sells "Euro spec" (can install new bootloader) and "America spec" (locked in hardware) phones under the same SKU. You can't tell the difference until you try to flash it. I got bit by that one.

Polygamy is illegal in the UK, US, and most places I believe?

Polygamy means multiple marriages at the same time.
Also a ring == a circle, and organizations are looking to circular-philosophy holistic changes as a broad change since roughly the start of the century.

Circles are _the_ graphical element/symbol of holistic energy with few others coming close.

Generally when I see a move to a circular logo in a new design brief it's a sign that the organization perceives that it must quickly heal from damage/protect itself from danger and put some aspects of the past behind. It is usually attempting to build capacity for a new direction as well. IMO this is usually not a fully conscious decision by the team.

"This is the world we live in"
buying puts probably isn't going to make you a billionaire though? The maximum return is the difference between the strike and the lowest price before expiration, and prices generally don't drop to 0. Realistically, you would need access to a lot of leverage to become a billionaire with puts, or already be a multi-millionaire.
Having programmed and navigated my PC via voice exclusively for about 6 months, done a ton of research and written several articles about it and what options are out there [0][1], I think might be pretty ground-breaking stuff.

Inputting code with voice is generally difficult, often due to variable names, casing, punctuation etc being hard to get right in voice-to-text. I think this might help quite a lot with that.

_However_, some of the hardest things in voice coding isn't necessarily just the input. Navigating large codebases is hard, and particularly editing existing code can be extremely difficult, probably much more difficult than just inputting new code.

I have my doubt that with the demonstration shown here, that it's able to make complex editing tasks simple, but if it does - I cannot overstate how huge of a leap forward it is.

I found the Met's rebrand interesting to consider.

I am on the younger side/moved to New York recently. Without knowing the history of the Met logo I have always found the (new) logo fairly iconic- the stickers visitors wear, and the various paraphernalia with the logo look good to me. I find it clean and sharp. I think I actually prefer it to the old logo (which I do not remember seeing before today)

Ok yeah, I see what you're saying. I'd say maybe they didn't opt of of the things they thought they did. Mastodon is still social media, public things are still public, they opted out of the scale of Twitter but not the rest. They found something that wasn't Twitter and were happy until it became like Twitter, what they really wanted was something that can't become Twitter; like hosting a private Mastodon server.

Does make me wonder how many people are left that use xterm regularly. I still use it, solely because of muscle memory from when it was one of few options. But it seems like most unixy operating systems offer up something else as the default terminal. And xterm being xterm, it's a bit of work to get it running nicely with a decent font and cut/paste behavior. So you have to be pretty deliberate about wanting it.

I'm trying to think of a rebrand that I truly hated and that led to actual decline in something. I... can't.

There are plenty that I confess I don't like. But I would be struggling to put any actual significance to a label. The new street fighter one, as an example. I agree that it feels off that they are ditching the styling that they have used for literal decades. That said, I fail to see how that is at all important to the success/failure of the game they are building.

The MIT Press had an amusing amount of thought that went into their logo. But... I would wager the vast majority of folks just don't see it.

Reminds me of that parody pepsi logo document. (At least, I think it was a parody?)
> Why pay when interest is 0% and there’s no penalty for not paying?

Just spitballing here… But maybe you should pay because you promised to pay it, the costs were borne by the vast majority of taxpayers who did not take out such loans, and because tradesmen and other perfectly deserving parties do not get access to such easy money?
Because the ledger is pseudonymous. Meaning that if they can connect your real identity with your wallet address at any point, then your entire transaction history is revealed.

In your ransomware example, it means that if you ever used that wallet for anything in the past or future that can be connected to you then they now have a pretty good proof that you committed a serious crime. And everyone who transacts with that wallet now can be questioned if their identity is connected with their wallet

It would be like if you took someone hostage and asked for marked bills with the serial numbers recorded. And also providing the cops with a list of all the other times you might have committed a kidnapping.

Most criminal enterprises deal with cash because because it acts nothing like bitcoin. No transaction history, no nothing
