Of course the dollar has devalued. That's the whole idea. It's supposed to. At a modest rate of 2% inflation, $1 should be worth 50 cents after 35 years. That's literally how currency works.
Not parent you are answering to, and I don't have a dog in this "elon is a god"/"elon is the devil" fight, but let's stay factual: while the .gitignore is not an issue at all, serving dot files should virtually never be done
Yeah, this and someone I know getting burned for the same thing (we assume -- there was no concrete confirmation one way or the other) on another cloud provider. Putting "all your eggs in one basket" is just asking for disaster, as has been demonstrated over and over, unfortunately.
<< I'm puzzled by your objection, I don't exactly understand what it is. I'll try to address your questions however.

First, thank you for your answers. Some disclosure may be necessary. I am a strong free speech proponent, which colors my views of the world somewhat. I will admit that in this case, I had no real objection, but I was more trying to understand how you see the world and to what extent some things are ok ( which you correctly identified anyway ). In other words, I found your post interesting and decided to engage.

Believe it or not, I think we are oddly closely aligned based on your answers.

<<as if this were a slippery slope.

If there is a place where are not aligned, this may be it. Having seen ( sometimes heard of, sometimes read about ) some of the horrific things people can do to one another ( sometimes willingly and enthusiastically ), I have certain level of discomfort of trying to hide reality from people ( and trigger warnings enable that ). I do not mind those for movies and, say, other forms of entertainment, but I worry that it is going to move to other non-entertainment spaces, where, for example, augmented reality will be asked to remove all traces of 'unpleasantness'.

In other words, I do see a slippery slope here, although I can give you that is a gentle and slow one.
Wasn't there something like the guy searching for CP before the photo was uploaded, or something along those lines?
This is wrong, PTFE is a PFAS.

PFAS is a family of Per or poly fluoroalkyl substances.

Basically it's a group of substances that have very long ass Carbon and Flour chains.

Illegal according to the United States, who regulates the SWIFT system and is the issuer and owner of all US Dollars. This isn't complicated.
Is it more precisely: don't use PFOA or PFOS anymore, switching to less-proven-guilty chemicals with different lengths?

Either way, my concerns are mostly: how much fluorinated waste they release from factories and what happens at the end of product lifetime. Solid fluorinated compounds don't seem atrocious, as they can be reduced to safe minerals if burned properly unlike the spray-on compounds and factory leakage.
The best parts of any city are the places where cars aren't allowed or are minimized/not the primary method of getting around. The most economically productive, high-demand areas of any city are the ones at walking scale where humans enjoy spending their time.

A lot of infrastructure planners work to optimize traffic flow without much consideration to the actual humans existing in an area.

Tokyo doesn't have this problem in its most iconic places, as it largely relies on rail and subway for mass transit.

Of course, that's not to say that Japan isn't car-oriented. It is in a lot of places, it's more car-oriented than most people assume.

Still, Japan is a place where you rarely hear of any foreign tourist renting a car.

A fun way to visualize how bad cars are for a city is comparing train bridge and tunnel productivity to car lanes. You would need 24 Manhattan-bound traffic lanes to match the throughput of the Manhattan Bridge, [1] and then you'd need a whole bunch of other unproductive, human-hostile space to fit all the off-ramps and road junctions needed to make that concept functional.

100%. Tacking on to this, the last few places I've been the public facing site was usually managed by the marketing or design team, and often was used as a project to get them to touch _some_ code. Engineering rarely ever got involved with this if ever. If not them; probably a third-party firm.

that will never happen, unless documents & emails get discovered and all the cc'ed people get subpoena'ed and deposed. And even that won't catch everybody. Congressional committees don't have time for that.

Big corporations are adept at diffusing real responsibility among a faceless mass of people.
I think you may be proving the point I was attempting to make ;)

You do your best within the constraints you're given, which is what is being said in your example. You are welcome to make your arguments for or against a decision (as far as office politics allow), but just as there is a breaking point for you being told to do something you feel is "incorrect," there is a breaking point where you become "the guy who always gives them a hard time."

Soft skills are important as technical when you're working with others. You have to pick and choose your battles. Don't confuse a platitude with a literal decree. Does that make more sense?

I find them very useful in the way Racket uses them, which is by convention only. In Racket, `[<expression>]` is identical to `(<expression>)`. But Racket uses them in a conventional sense, for example, in `let` bindings:

(define test
(let ([a 1]
[b 2])
(+ a b)))
Thanks! That’s the aim for this block builder. See the Community block, if it’s type = "github” it loads my GitHub repo collaborators in the backend, and since Remix is SSR-first, I use that dataset to display them as members on the UI. In other words, you could use this to start creating advanced Form/List (CRUD) builders.

Nope.

Paths in .gitignore means git ignores them. Doesn't mean the file doesn't exist. It means it's not in source control.

An example is a .env file. It may very well be _required_ in many PHP or node projects but it's going to be ignored.
Not easily, especially if you aren't tech-minded.
Eyes like you’ve never seen them before (Iris Ultra Macro Version)
As a portrait photographer I am always fascinated about eyes. Thats why I captured these extreme closeups of the human iris. Focusing at that large magnification is tough and you need a lot of light to get a proper exposure. It was a long way until I brought the right tools together. Even after I figured everything out it still takes lots of efforts and time to create these images.
Check the video on my blog for a more detailed explanation and also to pixel peep the macro shots.
What does "built by builders" mean?
I'm learning Rust now, I can say Nim is much harder. Maybe the language itself is simpler, but the documentation is just not very good. Very unpolished and amateurish. I actually forked out fifty quid for Araq's "Mastering Nim" book; it is atrocious. Spelling and grammatical errors on every page. The very first code example did not compile.

I also regularly run into utterly infuriating bugs while trying to accomplish what I thought would be simple things. Don't expect to be able to get anything useful done using iterators. They're zero-cost only if you don't value your own time.

On the other hand, all of Rust's docs are a joy and I haven't run into many technical problems so far.

I worked for a lot of years in the wearable health sensing field (till about 3 years ago, so I haven't paid as much attention since) and was constantly looking for new kinds of biosensors for wearables. Samsung said they were working on optical sensors for many kinds of health sensing a decade ago; haven't heard much from them about actual products/sensors except this:

https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsungs-preparing-to-discuss...

Skin impedance across a wide frequency range is interesting, it can tell you something about the composition of the flesh. There has been some use of smartphones for biosensing:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5713127/

There has been some work on blood sugar detection through the skin using optical sensors, though no one appears to have figured it out yet after years of research. If they do figure it out it could probably be used to detect other things as well. I've never heard of anyone trying to detect other nutrients via sensors, I'm not even sure it can be done via blood samples (there have been blood tests for vitamin D for a long time, and perhaps it is possible to detect other metabolites, but it may not have much practical use for metabolites that are mostly stored in organs, proteins for example, although if you had a continuous record of what was in the blood maybe you could estimate what reaches the organs.) The idea is intriguing though, perhaps metabolite analysis using sensors could finally settle the questions around diet and health once and for all. There are tests for cortisol from saliva (and a variety of other kinds of saliva tests) although they are fairly expensive for frequent use:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cortisol+test

There are a variety of expensive medical tests for many specific chemicals that are important to nutrition and health. Making those tests cheap and non-invasive is a challenge. I don't know if anyone is even working on it, medicine tends to choose research topics very strangely. Like for decades a universal flu vaccine was considered too difficult. Now suddenly there are several candidates. A lot of the time I think lack of invention is a direct consequence of a lack of trying (and yet we waste PhD's on manipulating markets and charge people to get educations).

This is one place you could look for answers:

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors

Anything related to sensors tends to show up in that journal.
> You may very well be correct, but there's no formal result that proves that, right?

GP wasn’t making a formal statement, so of course there isn’t. They were making an intuitive judgment about which of two mathematical theories corresponds more usefully to the real world.

> If everyone believed that the Halting problem is undecidable, then nobody would even try to find cycle detection algorithms.

This is a non-sequitur because the non-decidability of the halting problem doesn’t imply anything about whether cycle-detection algorithms are possible.
There would be a lot of evidence of what happened after though

It's hubris to think we are at a stage where human scientists are so disciplined and knowledgable that we can start patching existing life-forms in such a safe enough way so as to target certain types of cells reliably over time and not others.

Software is essentially a cleanroom in the sense that the environment tends to be deterministic and man-made, and that is still riddled with unexpected accidents. Fortunately we can turn it off, fix the bug, and redeploy and the people involved in that tend to survive.

> Additionally, a bacterium that's engineered to be almost completely harmless evolving into a deadly strain in vivo is fairy unlikely in itself, especially if transcriptional errors can be reduced several orders of magnitude like GGP suggested.

The proposition was to engineer a bacteria that targets and infects a particular type of human cell to kill it. Creating medicines in a vat (like insulin) is different from releasing infectious agents in the wild. I was under the impression that this was obvious, but apparently not.
Because pursuing it would cost money and time for a service from a company that I'm sure he doesn't want to do any more business with. He's unlikely to get any damages and Google's lawyers will ensure that it takes way too much time.

"If they were innocent, why didn't they sue" is an opinion that is really naive of how our legal system works.
rockchip does a fine job of getting stuff upstream, actually.

The vendor-specific device trees are not always upstreamed, but you can compile a mainline kernel post-rk3588 release and have it work with the right device tree.
It doesn't detract from that at all, chief. What a weird thing to say. Particularly in the case of Nim -- it doesn't "throw away" C or C++, it compiles to them!
TOTP without a real time clock is ambitious :)
Oh, my bad, I see how I miscommunicated the "forcing" thing. In my head I was imagining an alternate world where video games simply didn't exist, so there people would have no other option than to (be "forced" to) read a book etc.

And yes, I agree that Factorio might be one of the "smarter" games out there. But the point about addictiveness, and the point about being mentally draining rather than relaxing, still stands for Factorio.

Personal anecdote: I spend much of my time in high-ranked (think top 0.1% of players) video game matches, and I think it might be too mentally stimulating to the point where I don't have the energy or willpower to get other useful things done.

If you have your own domain, Fastmail banning you is a minor speed bump at worst. You can just point your domain at a different email provider.

You can similarly transfer domains between registrars if one of them doesn't like you. And in practice, your domain registrar not liking you is pretty rare; I've only heard of it happening with famously evil alt-right websites and they generally manage to find a registrar that will take their business.

It's not stupidity that leads birds to raise cuckoos eggs it's the fact that cuckoos are mobsters who check up after laying and if their egg/chick isn't still there they destroy the entire nest and clutch of eggs.

Unfortunately my take is probably not the whole story. There’s likely some grain of truth to this reporting in terms of a reduction in force being planned, but nobody is sure what form or strategy will be employed.
Hardware also corrupts data. I would always want a kernel to continue as best it can, than flat out panic. This isn't an electron app, this is software that can be deployed to anything and everything.

Any kernel that did panic would stop getting used by the majority of people pretty fast as being "too unreliable".
Performance wise they are fine, particularly the RK3588 series.
If you want to keep up to date, you will have to do some work.

If you want a seamless experience, use an x86 SBC, they work great, never worry about kernel support, etc.

You will pay for it in performance for watt.

(IE 5 watt rk3588 vs 15 watt pentium J6412)

There are vendors who seem to care a lot, like Radxa (who makes the rockpi series), and others for whom the sbc offering is basically a test kit for their android tablet SOC's.

Exactly. A bird isn't "raising young" in an abstract way. It has genes that produce certain behaviour. Build nest. Sit on egg. Roll egg out of nest if you get too hungry. Regurgitate food into squaking red mouth. Remove feces from nest. Taken together you get some level of success in reproduction.

And expecting a bird to be "intelligent" in this situation would imply a source of knowledge about what an egg is supposed to look like.

Yes, money from a primary can be used in the general. But in this case, it wasn't. The FTX money was used to select candidates but not to elect them.

In contrast, almost all of the FTX-related donations to the GOP were given during the general cycle meaning that they were specifically given to help elect candidates. This means the GOP actually benefited more from FTX money than the Dems, and explains why McCarthy is focusing his efforts on committee assignments rather than on going after FTX.
I have done non-trivial things both in Rust and Nim. For big projects Rust seems a little more robust, but for medium and small projects Nim is an order of magnitude faster to develop for. There are still many rough edges, but it's exactly the tradeoffs I would personally pick for my one person small business making tools for artists. So far I have been using Rust and it's alright, but looking very much into Nim to see if I can replace Rust because of the high cognitive load to keep all of the Rust stuff in my head, as I don't really need safety.

Shout out to https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro which was super simple to build a simple GUI tool. With Rust I have no idea what to use after trying 5 different libraries.

The downside of Nim seems to be highly unpredictable performance in my experience. With Rust it's much easier to control. This might be a deal-breaker unless I can find some solution to it. Maybe it's just using it more than two weeks and learning the ropes.

Yep these are fluoropolymers.

But I'm not sure how much that really matters... a regular un-fluoridated polymer like polyethylene that sticks around for a thousand years is not all that different in practice from a fluoropolymer that will stick around for a million years. If they're not recycled they go to landfill.

Maybe more to the point, I'd much prefer to contaminate the environment with inert chemicals with a million year lifespan than with toxic or bio-accumulating chemicals with a thousand year lifespan, and the good news is that the longevity of fluoropolymers is due to their total lack of reactivity.
The patent expired.
I really can’t understand where this idea that rust is ‘hard’ comes from. Everything that it formalizes is something that you should already be conscious of. If not, well… you have a different, bigger problem.
It is shit because there is no such thing as two things being primary. It is perfectly okay to highlight the default choice, or not highlight any option, but having two default options makes no sense.

The article is a little clumsy here... they seem to indicate it would have been a lawsuit, but the dollar amount quoted would be more in line with arbitration.

In both cases there's 3 possible outcomes:

1) Google, after reviewing weak and/or zero evidence, backs down and restores the account upon receipt of notice of intent to pursue legal action.

2) Arbitration happens and Google is ordered to back down, restore the account and pay Dad's representation fees.

3) Arbitration happens and Dad loses, which yes would be quite costly.

Only #3 is a gamble, and it seems like Dad has a lot of confidence #3 isn't even a remote possibility. So why would you not pursue legal action?

Given how much attention Dad has received over this, it would be surprising if free representation wasn't throwing themselves at him by now too. Regardless, this is indeed how the legal system works for disputes. He should use it if he really is innocent.
