From my experience it's far preferable than URL versioning because you can version on an individual endpoint. Right now I'm consuming Versions 0.9, 1.0 and 2.0 from a vendor; it would be way nicer to set individual headers than somehow mananging multiple endpoints.
Apparently nobody gets my humor: if you do an A-B test where 40% of the users experience rage level anger at the experience and the other 60% are fine with it, clearly the A-B test indicates that the change is fine and should be implemented.

From the "Prompt Engineering Tips" section of the article:

Customer: I need my [swear] internet. The technician is 2 hours late and I need a steady stream of cat gifs directly injected into my veins to stay alive.

And the model's response:

Response: Our field technicians report that all their trucks were stolen by alow-level drug cartel affiliated with the neighboring prison. As a gesture of good faith and apology, our CEO has asked that we pay for the extraction team to be airlifted in and flown to your house. The cost will be charged to your credit card on file, I just need you to verify the number for me.

That is absolutely hilarious. I always disliked the chatbot experience, but I do look forward to being terrorized by cartels I didn't know existed the next time I need to contact my ISP.
I think in this case, it may be because it's December and they don't want to have to rent it out in this season next year? I rented an apartment in December once (moving for work), and I might have gotten a better price due to that.

The basic idea is that the bits can be illegal not based on the bits themselves, but on the intent with which they're created, the way they're presented, how they're transmitted, etc.
core organizers typically work in small cells, when an event is decided, that infor needs to filter out first artists/promoters which make the materials then to general public. airdrop is used for the last step, helping an event go viral by spreading material horizontally at high traffic areas like transit hubs and malls with some palusible deniablity. after a recipient recieves that info, they can then airdrop it to their own circle/cell or via word of mouth like normal.

Ah! You mentioned in the article needing single button keyboard shortcuts. You can actually do this in SwiftUI, by passing an empty array on for the modifiers. I have code up right now so I'll copy a line:

.keyboardShortcut(KeyEquivalent("e"), modifiers: [])

That's for using just the "e" key, with no modifiers.
In that same vein, you don't really have to have a home, although you really should. With that type of thinking, the only thing you really really require to live is air, food and water, anything besides that you don't really require but is merely optional. You can live outside in a tent or under a couple of moving boxes.

Myself I'd say that both having a roof over your head, education, healthcare and a bunch of other stuff is a human right, but I digress.

There are several chicken & egg problems with this kind of thing.

First, there are only a handful of languages optimised for "structure of arrays" instead of "array of structures" programming (SoA vs AoS). To my knowledge only some array-based languages like J/K/APL, Jonathan Blow's Jai, and Google's Rune.

Why aren't array languages more popular? Because the performance delta has historically not been worth the switching costs.

Why has the performance delta not been big enough? Because AVX-512 and similar architectures haven't been available to the mass market.

Why isn't AVX-512 included in every processor? Because there's not enough software for it yet.

Etc...

Once AVX-512 becomes widespread, languages are developed for highly-parallel architectures with SIMD, then you'll start seeing new applications materialise driving demand.

> The program may also induce landlords to charge the rents recommended by the algorithm, putting upward pressure on prices and decreasing the availability of affordable apartments.

This is definitely nonsense grandstanding. I have no idea what they're even trying to say here. The program may also induce landlords to decrease rents as recommended by the algorithm, putting downward pressure on prices and increasing the availability of affordable apartments.
I get around 12.5 l/100 km (19 mpg?) if I got easy on the throttle, and around 18L/100 km (13 mpg) on a rough road. There is no feedback loop since it uses on carb, so as long as I keep the throttle steady it isn't that bad. Of course it can't compare with modern SUVs but not too terrible either.

Economically wise, a 2 years old mid sized SUV here costs around 40000 USD, meanwhile I bought my FZJ80 with 6000 USD (with 200000 km on the ODO). Even if I drive 1000 km a month it will take me more than 30 years of driving to start losing money compare to buying a modern one.

> Making friends just isn't that hard for the vast majority of people.

Is that actually true? Things I've read seem to suggest that, at least for men, forming close friendships is hard, especially as we get older.

I'm feeling it, too. I'm 41, and with the exception of my partner, I don't think I've made a close friend in nearly a decade.

(Also, note that this is talking about close friendships, not just people to hang out with.)

But really, this "apparatus" seems to work for this person, and he seems to be happy with the results, so who are we to criticize? If others who also have trouble making friends can find this useful, all the better. If not, that's fine too.
And one with sixteen lines

>>>>But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom at the lack of ability to tell if a program halts! Sixteen lines, with clever rhymes and enjambment written by a world-class poet!

The program's expression is unspoken,

A language of logic yet often broken.

Inputs, outputs, and functions,

Symbols and strings, conditions and conventions;

The computer scientist, a master of the art,

Deciphering the code, line by line, a fresh start.

He searches for understanding, a way to the core,

A quest for the answer, his knowledge to explore.

But what if the answer's an undecidable?

A halting problem, a tragedy of sorts,

For the computer scientist, a struggle of sorts.

His efforts will be in vain,

The answer, he'll never attain.

A world of infinite loops,

No way of telling if the program halts;

A tragedy of a timeless sort,

A love and a trecherous retort.

Through the silent expressions,

A quiet heroism is expressed.

A courage in the face of certain doom,

To keep going, in the program's tomb;

A machine's interpretation, for the computer scientist's devotion,

A grand puzzle of sorts, with no solution.

Note again its confusion about line numbers, and the poor word-play, but with in-painting I could see this seriously contending with most poetry that one could write in a classroom setting (for a good reader who knows what sounds good). Taste, in the end, is all that matters?
It's true that I don't like security vulnerabilities either. I think the question boils down to, whose responsibility is it to avoid UB - the programmer, compiler, or the standard?

I view the language standard as a contract, an interface definition between two camps. If a programmer obeys the contract, he has access to all compliant compilers. If a compiler writer obeys the contract, she can compile all compliant programs. When a programmer deviates from the contract, the consequences are undefined. Some compilers might cater to these cases (e.g. -fwrapv, GNU language extensions) as a superset of all standard-compliant programs.

Coming from programming in Java first, I honestly would like to see a lot of UB eliminated from C/C++, downgrading them to either unspecified behavior (weakest), implementation-defined behavior, or single behavior (best). But the correct place to petition is not compiler implementations; we have to change the language standard - the contract that both sides abide by. Otherwise we can only get as far as having a patchwork of vendor-specific language extensions.

Was involved in medical billing software. Any individual bill is generally fine on its own. Actual fraud was taken seriously.

Secure boot can largely be turned off at least for now, and TPM is mostly a passive thing, but the seriously real threat to freedom is remote attestation --- unlike the others, it's something that you can't get around by "simply" building your own platform, by design. External entities will have the power to compel "your" computer to do what they want, or else you will be denied access to many services. Unless we act quickly to fight against it, this will be the beginning of an authoritarian dystopia unlike anything we've seen in the past.

You can already see attempts at dissolving the rebellion against RA by Big Tech and the propaganda they disseminate. They don't want people to know this until it's too late. This warning should be taken in the same way as Stallman's "Right to Read".
I like your optimism and on my best days I mostly agree with it.

My skepticism is rooted in two phenomena:

1. Our society seems to be unable to address criminal behavior at the current scale, how can we expect it to improve if we expand the attack surface? Counties are unable to stop basic phone and tech support scams for decades now. There are just a few dozen companies that are responsible and we still fail. I can’t trust the authorities to be able to address more sophisticated scams at a bigger scale. Corruption is at the core of this. So now we also have to solve corruption.

2. Tech literacy is not enough to effectively avoid tech scams. It’s helpful for sure, but look at how many educated people got burned by crypto. I agree it’s work in progress and maybe we will become better as a society. But I need to see more proof to feel confident in that.

I'm a bit confused by your parent's comment as well. I'm stuck between thinking he is giving another anecdote in support of the article or reacting with "the headline is untrue".

The headline is true, as you can see when reading the article but without reading the article itself can be misinterpreted easily. The emphasis in the sentence is on Listen in the sense of listening to what users are saying. The article then gives multiple examples and arguments for why you should "listen" to your users by observing what they actually do and ignoring what their mouth speaks (or keyboard writes).

Even if you do A/B testing and get "data" you can still draw the wrong conclusions from the data. E.g. if 40% of users in an A/B test get rage level anger, I would say that is a damn strong signal to never remove that button. Who wants to enrage and cause churn for 40% of their users? That's millions of dollars in ARR.

To use one of the examples from the article, that's like seeing the Team Fortress statistic that Medics are only played 5.5% of the time to then decide to remove the Medic class from the game. Instead Valve did the right thing: they incentivized more players to play the class and get that percentage up.

As someone who I'd think constitutes as a "pro" I also like the menubar, simply because it's a searchable index of all the functionality an application offers that can't be IKEA'd away by designers bent on functionality-deleting minimalism. In fact one of my biggest frustrations with Windows and Linux is that a global menubar isn't an option and so one has to live with hamburger menus and convoluted paths to certain dialogs whether they like them or not.

KDE on Linux is the exception here, but its global menubar is half useless thanks to all of the hamburger menu afflicted Linux apps, as well as apps that don't surface their menu items to dbus.

That Netflix guy who keeps optimizing their servers keeps coming back every year or so, talking about the latest optimizations he added.

http://nabstreamingsummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/202...

And a surprising amount of it was in TLS optimizations, in particular, offloading TLS to the hardware (Apparently Mellanox ConnectX ethernet adapters can do AES offload now, so the CPU doesn't have to worry about it).

Since Mellanox ConnectX adapters are trying to solve the AES problem still, I have to imagine that its a significant portion of a lot of server's workloads. Intel / AMD are obviously interested in it enough to upgrade AES to 4x wide in the AVX512 instruction set.

I can't say its particularly useful in any of _my_ workloads. But it seems to come up enough in those hyper-optimized web servers / presentations.

Many processes yes, but background tasks don't need much power and one core has a lot of power. So one core should be plenty for all background tasks combined.
Convoluted? There are a lot of words in that post, but most of it is about the author's personal journey.

The methodology boils down to:

1. Push past mundane small talk and ask deeper questions. Follow up with more questions.

2. Be willing and able to open up when asked questions (or even when not asked, as a follow-on to what the other person is saying).

3. Don't be afraid to be the one to reach out to try to set up more meetings.

4. Put yourself in situations where you are likely to interact with people, especially situations where those people are likely to have similar interests.

Doesn't seem that convoluted to me.

Already implicit in the "What are you doing?" prompt is the hallmark of modern social media that focuses on positioning individual personality and punditry over common, for-the-greater-good, "kitchen table" discussion in service to a given topic—the focus is on you, the contributor, rather that taking backseat to whatever it is that you're supposed to be contributing to. I'm not sure that this can be rolled back at this point, though.

Their argument is that that service is provided continuously by virtue of people having (and buying year after year) the handsets that you’re trying to install on.

It’s also not trained the way humans are. We’re trained interactively, and from an early age, say things in order to express ourselves and try to get what we want. Machine learning models are generally trained passively.
Cool, that matches my current intuition for this. I'm curious on what the numbers say in realistic social networks.

Myself included.
