No worries, some people already do!

I've seen plenty of packages with no source release.
Digital clocks too. Plenty of clocks are still being manufactured that rely on the grid frequency, although as quartz crystals have become cheaper, some companies have started using those instead of mains-referenced clocks. Yet the old 70s PMOS mains-referenced clock ICs --- one of the first mass-produced LSI ICs for consumer electronics --- are apparently still in production and widespread use.

https://hackaday.com/2018/03/29/ask-hackaday-is-your-clock-t...

It's been my experience that, in the long term, mains-referenced clocks are extremely accurate, while local quartz ones seem to drift significantly. Clock also tend to last long enough that these are relatively common around here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telechron
> you know better than them what they’ve done wrong

Hardly, since I just agreed with what they said. I suggested what IMHO is a good way to make up for it. Nothing else.

> that you have to tell them

Sure, I have to. I think everyone should say something in cases like this.
It happens quite often. I'm dealing with deprecation of db.r3 for example which will be enforced in a few months. (I easily find the public announcement - you get an alert if using it) The instance sizes don't cause that much problem as such, but you still need to spend time assessing the new performance, updating reservations, figuring out the transferability of the old ones, etc.

I built an integration from our CRM to a sales team messaging platform. For users that exist in the CRM, it worked great. The problem was the side uses of the messaging platform for users that were not active in the CRM or never in the CRM. It’s a nightmare to keep dealing with all the exceptions related to non-active CRM users.

I usually don’t let myself get caught in such a scenario, this one slid by and I regret it.
It is. It works and compiles relatively non-trivial programs correctly (I tried a PDP-8 emulator and a printf library) with surprising optimisations in spots. On -O3 it turned a print loop over a string array with a mask applied to each character, into applying the mask to the constant at compile-time with a sequence of unrolled LDA#/JSR. Very impressive.
Unknown unknowns are what usually get you in the end.
I love this but I don’t understand one thing. It’s relatively easy to find “Anna’s Archive” on the internet, and although it doesn’t host copyrighted content itself, it does link to websites that do host copyrighted PDFs, epubs, etc.

What’s stopping the FBI (or others) from taking down such linked websites? Isn’t just a matter of time until all of them are taken down and the owners sued?
That link does not have boost unordered_flat_map?
>I don't see anything patronizing or showing superiority in what I wrote. I am saying this as a peer, not as a superior.

And you have four different peers who have responded to you suggesting that you are being condescending. Take a step back and ask why - intention and tone are two different things, and if you get the latter wrong then we will misunderstand the former.

>It's kinda weird to expect people not to make mistakes such as this if nobody tells them it's wrong. And it's normal for people to tell other people they do bad stuff if they do.

Just let 'em be. You're not a hero. They admitted what they did, and why they know it's wrong. You're not doing anything other than going, "Yep, you sure did fuck up."

Considering that since 2020 we've had Covid, an attempted insurrection, and an unexpected(ish) war, what are the odds that something dramatic and completely unexpected will happen next year?

I'm not expecting a number. Just pointing out that to date "past trends will probably continue" has been absolutely wrong for this decade.
Apologies, I'm happy to work with whatever your icon of unmanliness is. The specific objective was to identify that there are spreads of people who appear to the general public as more or less manly. Please, if you have an alternative, I'm happy to work with that.
Why it seems like your doctor doesn’t care about you
I don't get what it means to identify as a woman. As we have all come to understand in recent years, women can give birth, but women can also have a penis. They can have breasts, or they can lack them. They can be bold or they can be shy. They can be strong or they can be weak. They can be short or they can be tall. What does the word woman mean? It seems like a word that doesn't mean anything at all? It's just an arbitrary group of people with nothing in common?

As far as I know, there's no plausible deniability on IPFS. If you decide to help host some piece of content, you personally have to make the choice to mirror it. Which makes you liable.
Some people just have more of a natural talent, as with anything else. It’s not very helpful to just tell people they are bad at it. I don’t go around telling people that are bad at things that I’m good at that it’s not that hard and they should just try…
I remember when cold fusion was discovered in the 1980s. Everyone was very excited - clean, cheap, unlimited power. The environmentalists were horrified.

Is the amount of heat released this way any concern from the global warming perspective?
Memoizing computations for which you know the input(s) come from a small range of numbers?

IEEE floating points are 32 bit / 64 bit, so it's not in principle any more insane than using (u)int32 / (u)int64 as keys. It's not like the key space is unbounded or even hard to estimate - it's just not a common thing to see in the wild, and I guess most devs rarely have a reason to consider how many values fit between two floating point numbers.
I worked for a company that made deep packet inspection based network equipment. Western customers mostly used it for "security" and

It isn't what they say in the guidelines people read or when they issue press releases or speak in the media though. They speak as if they are serious, trying to navigate complex terrain, be fair, strike a balance, yadda yadda yadda...standard corporate half-truths.
It's not that 10 mile holes will be necessary everywhere, it's that "10 miles" is the depth necessary to make these worthwhile anywhere.

You don't need to drill 10 miles to get to geothermal temperatures in Iceland, nor in Yellowstone. But you might in Ohio, or Ireland.
Object property names are always strings, even though you can set them via number literals (as the person you replied to said):

const object = {}
object[1] = 3

console.log(object["1"]) // 3
for (const key in object) {
console.log(typeof key) // "string"
}

This is different from keys of the Map data structure, which are actually able to be any type of value (even silly stuff like other Maps).
It's not something that "the dems" made up. It seems to have started as a self-descriptive term for nonbinary Latinos, although the history's not 100% clear. But as the source article describes, there's a large and influential segment of the populace who believes that in order to be inclusive they should use trans-focused language as much as possible. So people started saying "Latinx" for precisely the same reasons as they stopped saying "pregnant women".

If we had a solar panel the size of California, what would we do with it? Is there a flat contiguous area of land that size where no one lives, or does it float in the ocean?

I guess the idea is that since we're imagining things that don't exist anyway, we could assume the panel is made of invisible pixie dust. But at least for me, drilling a ten mile hole is intuitively easier to envision.

Maybe that's ill-informed on my part, I don't know, but it's why the idea is appealing. It instinctively seems like a feasible task.

Question: why not write custom code to ping yourself at email when someone @dang?

Just curious because I would have figured it would do something given how often everyone uses it.
from what I got, it's a very stupid interaction of different javascript language features.

Every object in JS has basic map functionality. Since version 1 of the language, you could always write things like:

var o = new Object();
o["foo"] = "bar";
o["foo"] // --> "bar"

However, this functionality is relatively limited: It only supports strings (and symbols) as keys and it interacts badly with other methods and properties which are part of the object. Hence why an explicit "Map" type was added to the language much later.

The problem is, Maps are also objects, so they still inherit the "old" map functionality in addition to the new functionality. Those two systems are completely independent, even though they act on the same object. So writing

mymap["foo"] = 1

and

mymap.set("foo", 1)

both store the mapping "foo" -> 1, but in completely different places. Only the second one will actually put it into the store of the map, while the first one will just add it as a generic object property.

You can see it when trying to retrieve the value again:

mymap["foo"] = 1
mymap["foo"]; // --> 1
mymap.get("foo"); // --> undefined

likewise:

mymap.set("bar", 1);
mymap.get("bar"); // --> 1
mymap["bar"]; // --> undefined
Many are keen to point out that we live in proximity of a giant fusion
reactor and ought to be smart enough to harness its output.

But it took me a long time to appreciate something odder; We're living
on a giant fission reactor [1]. The Earth's core isn't hot because it
just hasn't cooled down in the icy void of space. It's actively
producing heat. Our gravity acts upon the heavy elements, which sink
through the molten iron and silicon, to the core, where they become
fissile.

Most people only ever learn high school level biology, where that "fact" is taught. That's not bad, it's just an incomplete picture.

Few people take the time to study further because there's no need for them to do so. Just like I haven't studied veterinary medicine - it's just something I never needed to understand beyond a common sense level.

The problem arises when people who have been working with simplified models make assertions using those models.
As far as I know, replication of data on IPFS is a purely voluntary and specific action -- you choose which exact content you want to mirror.

So if you run a node and want to avoid illegal content, the solution is just not to use the system to pin such content.

Good point, OK.
Funny enough eMule traffic spiked during the match.

If your bandwidth is limited enough such that background downloading would slow down your browsing significantly, then it would make perfect sense to let the downloads saturate the connection while you watched TV.
I really do sympathize with people who can’t own a home, it’s terrible. My mortgage is 1300/month right between Baltimore and DC so it’s not like I’m out in the cut or anything. I’ve never experienced the “homes are too expensive to buy” situation, but maybe I’m just incredibly fortunate.
TLDR: Author believes that women = "adult human females" and provides "proofs" that "show" a distinction between being treated as a woman and actually being one.

The author of this does not seems to understand how iff statements work which is hilarious.
But it increases the total entropy of the system (the universe). Doing everything increases the entropy.

I think I read/heard somewhere (cannot recall where) that complex systems in general (and Life in particular) are processes that are more efficient at increasing entropy. Perhaps the very same effort to to maintain their internal entropy low, drives the overall entropy to increase faster than if there wasn't any complex system in the first place.
The author does. She calls biology a "set of delusions so demonstrably false that even infants can see through them." Then calls trans-exclusionary feminism "biology based".

And she literally denies the Dylan Mulvaney being a trans-woman, calling her an "adult biological man". Which is so revealing because trans-woman obviously aren't the reason why some push for gender-inclusive language in pregnancy literature. They don't have uteresus. Only trans-men have them. It's about trans-men.
??? The table on that article contains plenty of architectures with odd bits per word, for example the Apollo Guidance Computer (15). Odd bits often resulted from sign or parity bits. And I'm shocked to see decimal digits were sometimes encoded as 5 to 7 bits to a digit (bi-quinary coded decimal) rather than 4 (binary coded decimal), e.g. in the IBM 650 (10 digits and a sign bit), which used 71 bits per word - a prime number! Of course "bit" is not the right term here, as software can't access them. But there are 71 physical switches exposed to the user for input.
Yes, why it is important to use clear words referring to biological sex, as that has far more important ramifications for medical treatment than gender identity.

Yes the square brackets were just a typo. But maps do support float keys - you can try it yourself!

map = new Map();
map.set(1.2, 3.4);
log(typeof(map.keys().next().value));

That says the key is a number, and it's a floating point number. So what did they mean by "ECMAScript does not have maps where keys can be integers and neither can keys be floats"?
I helped some jerks create an NFT collection.
Agreed and maybe expand on this angle. For example, I struggle(time intensive) with the centralisation of resourcing and project/task assignment workflow. Find an available capable person, invite to org, assign to team/project, get working.

I scale through subcontractors so the ability to decentralize that workflow would be nice. E.g. suggestions of who would be best for this project in an internal or public marketplace of other solos.

I wonder how they will keep the waveguide free of contaminants and >1/10 wavelength irregularities that dissipate power over such a long transmission line relative to wavelength. They're starting from only 10kW from a single gryotron but absolute power isn't the real issue. They can always just incoherently combine many since it's not for communications but even doubling the power twice isn't going to get you past the number of 3dB (half power) losses you'd get with an improvised borehole mm-waveguide 10km down.

The extremely long low loss underground mm-wave waveguide would seem to be their first problem to solve.

Edit: https://publications.mygeoenergynow.org/grc/1034509.pdf is okay and on page 5 of 16 in Fig 2 you can see how they propose using purge gas down the waveguide segments to keep it clean.

Yes, exactly.

I’m involved with several gay organizations - one professional and one centered around gay athletics.

In both cases there are a small group of activists that are trying to erase gay and lesbian identity, and all mentions of gender, from the org to be more trans- and non-binary-inclusive.

In one case a trans board member didn’t feel represented by the organization name (which includes “gay”) because they now identify as straight with their new gender identity. And for this they demanded the org with thousands of gay members should be renamed.

People were afraid to push back out of fear of being labeled transphobic.
No, not at all. The problem of AGW is not due to the calories we are releasing burning fossil fuels. It is because the waste byproduct of CO2 causing a slightly larger percentage of the sun's heat to be retained until the new, higher equilibrium temperature is reached where the trapped heat matches the heat the earth radiates.

They do seem to have an advantage in self driving technology not manufacturing. Which is fine because they're not trying to be a mass manufacturer. Manufacturing cars is a different problem they aren't interested in, but I think self driving require a lot of tech that they have a natural advantage in as part of Alphabet (besides having more money available to them and having been working on it for much longer). For example the Dojo stuff that Tesla seems to think is useful. They claimed to be almost finished with that years ago and still don't seem to be using it. In the meantime TPUs have gone through two new generations that Waymo can use en masse.

Besides that generally Waymo is a much bigger organization with a much bigger budget than the part of Tesla that is working on FSD
> Keep in mind that even among the small minority of users who have a hypervisor installed VirtualBox, VmWare and Qemu are a lot more popular than hyper-v.

Keep in mind, that these do require Hyper-V nowadays. Especially if your Windows 10/11 has virtualization-based security enabled (mandatory in 11); then using Hyper-V is the only way to virtualize anything.

Hyper-V is also requirement for WSL2.

So given this, Hyper-V might be enabled on a good chunk of these billion PCs.

It's not that Hyper-V would be my first choice either. But it is not exotic configuration at all, and the fact that it is a first party product which breaks this makes it even weirder.
