I feel that Facebook's metaverse push is a desperate attempt to reverse the evolution of our identities from baseline, offline, unitary identity towards constructed and abstract, online, contextual, anime girls form. I don't know precisely why it's always specifically anime && girls, but everything else seems to fall face first so I guess it's survival of fittest.

I thought for sure "life" would be over by now but www.netaddress.com still looks like a 1990's website. There's some info about payments so I dunno if it stayed free, but it's crazy that it looks like you can still login if you have an account.
Boosters are extremely effective to stop the spread. A large percentage of those with at least 2 boosters experience no symptoms when exposed. However it is still important to continue to mask to protect yourself and others as boosters may not stop transmission, even if you never experience symptoms. Again, for most people covid will exhibit mild to no symptoms. It's our most vulnerable who are at risk from the unmasked and unvaccinated. So please, get your boosters and wear a mask.
>Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequence.

Speech with consequences isn't free speech, by definition.

>Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

Consequences are a "retaliation": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech

Alarmingly, a lot of online dictionaries - at least in English - seem to define the 2,400 year old concept of free speech as the American First amendment. Can anyone who speaks another language see if this misconception has spread to other languages?
I don't think [1] means what I think you think it means:

"""Although peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type, …. Fully vaccinated individuals with delta variant infection had a faster (posterior probability >0·84) mean rate of viral load decline (0·95 log10 copies per mL per day) than did unvaccinated individuals with pre-alpha (0·69), alpha (0·82), or delta (0·79) variant infections."""
The problem with claiming SBF doesn't know the difference between solvency and liquidity, then how come he's figured out which one he needs to claim for his legal defence. If he doesn't know the difference, he wouldn't be so deliberate about claiming one happened not the other.
The CA HSR is over budget, but we know at least that HSR is technologically possible in contrast to hyperloop (in fact there are many voices which say it's fundamentally not possible). So if the hsr folks are scammers what does that make the people proposing hyperloop?

Most states are now levying usage fees on EVs that meet or exceed the revenue that would come from gasoline sales. In most cases it is in the $100-200 range but a few states are using punitive rates. Your $2000 rate is in the lacking justification range.
Not that I know of, and even the tutorials last time I looked are still factually incorrect though I haven't looked since Beta... 3? But some of the changes to nodes/classes with renamed properties/methods are still listed in the old, and before anyone asks yes I was looking at /latest/ not /stable/.

Yeah, but that 400 is everyone at stack not just engineering. A team to put together a mobile app should be less than 10.

Above I assumed their moderation team was probably larger than their engineering team, and mostly contractors. Thus I kept my estimate to the size of their engineering team.
No, it's actually different, because in a statically typed language it would not even be possible to write code that would pass the wrong types of inputs, because it would not compile!

Also, if there are input values of the right type that cannot be handled properly, that should also be tested! That is the kind of thing tests are for!

Example: you write a function that divides two numbers. It's not possible to divide by zero. You should absolutely have a test that passes in a divisor of zero and asserts that some kind of custom DivideByZeroException is thrown. If you know that certain inputs are out of range, you should test them explicitly -- otherwise you're being sloppy. If there is a large number of inputs out of range, you should test all of them, and you can use a `for` loop if you have to.

The difference is, if you have a valid input out of range, that is all you need to test -- the language itself takes care of all the "wrong type" tests for you. Otherwise you have to write them yourselves, and if you don't, you don't actually have good coverage. I understand that it is customary in dynamic languages to not write those tests, but that is merely another argument for the superiority of static typing.

I was the one who asked, and yeah... that's at least quite plausible.
Fixed-width divisions are O(1), just comparatively expensive (and potentially optimized to run in variable time). Consider that you can do long division on pairs of numerals of, say, up to 20 digits and be Pretty Confident of an upper bound on how long it's going to take you (you know it's not going to take more than 20 rounds), even though it's going to take you longer to do that than it would for you to add them.
My interest comes from wanting to see more performant options for per-request isolation in JavaScript applications. There have been bugs on popular web services returning information for the wrong user caused by inadvertently using global or module level variables.

Isolates are one option but I believe startup time for isolates with a snapshot is actually slower than Firecracker's snapshot restore.

Developing with Firecracker is somewhat annoying since it requires support for nested virtualization (doesn't work on Mac M1 or AWS, though does on GCP and GitHub Codespaces. The M2 has hardware support so development on Mac should work eventually.)

The various WebAssembly runtimes have really put a lot of work into getting fast snapshot restore with Wasmtime 1.0 doing so in microseconds. I'd love to be able to run server rendering in such an environment.
Er no the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission. This is mainstream knowledge at this point.

My objection and I suspect many others is that governments lying to people about something they have no data on is immoral.

Your handle consists of your alias and your home instance. ie, "@sohcahtoa82@nerds.social"

If I want to move to another instance, say, jocks.social, then my handle would become @sohcahtoa82@jocks.social, and that's assuming @sohcahtoa82 wasn't already taken on jocks.social.

At least in my understanding, some of the weirdness of this specific problem comes from the fact that the mathematicians "know" the function. The AoC doesn't necessarily let you know what the function is, it just lets you know that it exists. So if you were to really play the game with infinite mathematician, nearly everyone would lose even with the AoC.
100% re the "aww shucks" thing - his only way out of this is to convince everyone he was just a naive little guy with a heart of gold who got too successful for his own good, so we're going to see a lot of this and the "I can't actually code" stuff as the final few chapters of the FTX story play out.

Are you sure? What metadata specifically? I've never seen anything like this from Windows.

And I think you misread my NTFS mention. That was only in the context of desktop.ini, and desktop.ini only happens if you go through a specific obscure menu.

I've been wondering if I should mention that using int for an index is a bad idea because the standard only guarantees it's 16 bits. You should use size_t instead. And in C size_t is unsigned.

My take is all of the low hanging fruit optimizations that the standard enables has been picked a long time ago. Everything left is problematic.
Then what's the advantage of Tailwind?
When the precedent has been established as doing less than expected and no negative ramifications, it is difficult to get those same employees to change. If you have good employees already, then that's the norm.

I've had good and bad experiences with Amazon delivery. I have no idea if those good/bad experiences are from 3rd party people hired by Amazon or if they are Amazon employees. Doesn't matter to the end user though. Just like in any large organization, there will always be lower performing workers. When you're so desperate that you cannot eliminate these workers, then there is no incentive to change. Just like other uniform wearing services, it's the "bad apples" that get all of the attention, and they are probably vastly out numbered by the good apples. That's just not how society works by focusing on the good when there's so much more traction by beating on the negatives (just look at the socials and their entire core functionality).

That's awesome! I can't wait to build something more than a toy project with it. It was definitely fun to be able to write some backend endpoints with _hyperscript, one of my favorite features is how the language accesses objects:

> They can be enforced, for example, by policy, e.g. "Don't push anything that produces warnings to the master branch".

I laughed out loud when I read this.

Funny thing is, this would work where I'm at now, Google, because Google actually has an enormous number of presubmit checks that require all KINDS of things out of your code, it's practically crazy how many checks it runs. Since there's already so much setup for these checks, yeah adding one more would be fine (and it already does this for type annotations for dynamically typed languages like Javascript).

But most places aren't Google, and it's way more realistic to prevent this kind of problem by just having a language that'll enforce it automatically, then you never have to think about it, or have a policy debate, or always make sure during code review to look for that thing, etc.

If I'm putting out some small open source library where I might get an occasional pull request, I'd much rather have the language automatically enforce correct typing than have to remember to look for it myself every time (and then possibly miss something if I screw up).
Even if you do average speed instead of max speed CAHSR is still among fastest (if not the fasted) non-maglev train in the world. It will make a non stop run between LA union station and Transbay transit center in SF (a distance of around 760–790 km if my calculations are correct) in under 2 hours and 40 minutes. This will be an average speed of 280–300 km/h (or 180–190 MPH). In a quick google search I couldn’t find any trains—not even maglev trains—with faster average speed.
Just to clarify though, there's not meant to be any indicator for "right letter, wrong position"? If there is, it's not working.
Turtles all the way down. Or in this case, stupidity. He knows one is a thing bad people do and the other isn't. He believes he is not a bad person. Not-bad people don't do bad things. So obviously he couldn't have done the bad thing, because he's not a bad person.

Many people overestimate how much power EVs draw from the electrical grid. Yes, we will need to increase power production to the grid as EV use grows over the next couple of decades but EVs are not pushing grids over now and will be the huge problem you are suggesting.

“Though California has more electric cars than any other state, they make up just .4% of all energy consumption during peak hours. Even at 2030 estimates, some 5.6 million electric cars, trucks, and vans would only comprise 4% of peak loads.”

Hah, same. Here the topic was Harry Potter. I had learned basic html (no css, using <font color= or imagemaps liberally), and wanted to create a school others could "attend". A copy of other sites. You could do "assignments" and earn your house points etc. But since I only knew html, how you did it was to fill in my form, which then submitted to some cgi tool online and sent me an email. Then I would manually edit my html to reflect new stats, and upload it over ftp.

Luckily I had only like two close friends enrolled at that school!

I think it's pretty clear now we've heard the line from Sam. He's going to claim messiness, 'liquidity' and 'mistakes were made'. A line he's only willing to hold in front of very friendly interviewers. I don't think we'll get anything more out of him unless (1) he falls into the trap of taking an interview with someone numerate, or (2) he slips up and reveals some details that are going to be important later. But it's very clear he's decided to take a line that is clearly untrue, but is unprovable for an outsider. It'll only be as the evidence from the bankruptcy unfolds that we'll get the real story.

The thing I would push for today, would be an audit of all of his associates, including family, and yearly audits of his accounts by the IRS for the rest of his life. The risk that he has squirrelled away some crypto nest egg is too high, regulators should be vigilant to ensure not a penny of customer funds ever enrich SBF or his family.

Convergent encryption without a user specific key has two weaknesses:

1. You can tell that the user posses a known file. Such as a pirated movie. This is what this thread is about.

2. If the attacker knows the file except a sufficiently small secret part, they can learn that part.

Right, and since we're only talking about cropland, that 77% has no relevance to the discussion. That it keeps coming up is rather bizarre. Indeed, if you keep pounding a square peg into a round hold hard enough it may eventually go in, but one sure does look silly for doing it in the first place.

The bug is in the function which passes a string instead of a dictionary. Presumably this function will work incorrectly, right? So the unit tests of that function will find the error.

Unit tests which verifies a function has the correct behavior gives you "type checking" for free.

You just have to shift the mindset to testing behavior instead of testing types.

That makes a lot of sense if you think that only direct calls for violence result in violence. There's a slow burning genocide afoot that's taking place though "reasoned debates," that serves as a counterexample. It's, however, a lot easier to relabel it as something else than accept that speech falling outside "inciting physical violence" could be the cause.
> What possible advantage is there to be gained from any other choice?

Substantially better performance, which still matters in some domains.

If you occupy any space on the spectrum besides fully static typing, you must represent and check your types at runtime. This means that every object (even Int and Bool!) needs to have a header that tells the runtime what type it is, which can quite literally double your RAM requirements.

If a language is already including object headers anyway (like Java does), you're correct that there's not an enormous barrier to embracing gradual typing [0]. But there are a lot of places where we really do still care about RAM usage, and erasing types at runtime is an obvious place to free up a lot of RAM very quickly.

[0] Indeed, you can sort of do this in Java already by just typing everything as Object and coming back later to correct it with actual types, though please don't actually do this.
