> I’ve also used windirstat (I think that’s what it was called) years ago on Windows and Disk Inventory X on MacOS graphically.

On Windows, the new hotness is WizTree, which rather than recursively calling directory listing functions, it directly reads and parses the file tables itself. This makes it orders of magnitude faster. I have a 2 TB hard drive full of a million files, and WizTree reads and parses it all in under a minute, whereas I can expect WinDirStat to take half an hour.
Per Google (suddenly I feel a need to make it clear I didn't use chat GPT)

2^64 is 1.8446744e+19

To a first approximation, if your application is overflowing 64 bit integers, the problem is in the abstractions not sloppiness in low level details...something like doing arithmetic on IPv6 addresses.

What I mean is that it's one think if you specify a 32-bit or 16-bit architecture because the job entails low level programming with that constraint.

But entirely another think if it is used as a general test of software engineering skill because on the one hand, now I know the trick of the trick question and you wouldn't hire me based on my software engineering chops.

And on the other hand, in the vast majority of cases, the solution that might overflow is not just the simplest thing that might work, but it will also work well enough for the business purpose and be easier to support and maintain in the code base.

Finally, handling problems like this culturally during development and after-action debriefing is better healthier than how-many-golfballs at the interview stage...like I said, I know the answer.
Online reality is as much real as the physical one, and as technology for io to the human body advances it's going to increasingly dominate.

She feels noticeably superior to people that prefer the online reality for unclear reasons.
There aren’t many apps that have 100,000+ req/sec and you certainly can’t run them on modest hardware.

If your app averages 100 req/sec then that’s 8.4M requests per day. That’s more than most applications out there.
Yeah, mass layoffs are bad and annoying, but at least they're (usually) one and done and over with and you move along with your life.

The worst is when the company is struggling along and you're never quite sure if you should cut and run and people are disappearing every few weeks like some bad horror movie.
Tweet said unsigned ints, so don’t think this would work. Even with signed I think this can overflow.
My Philosophy of Product Building
Yes they say this but how do we see the jet in the original linked article haha?
The inconvenience of "my piles of money will no longer be legal tender in five years" and "all of my money is locked in accounts I cannot access starting immediately" are in entirely different categories.

I experienced this directly, when the electronic payment system recently collapsed in my part of Canada for ~2 days. I fortunately had a small amount of cash on me. Without it, I would have been unable to buy lunch, top-up my nearly expired phone plan, and then buy a train ticket and go about my normal day. It was also fortunate for my friend, who I lent $20. Can't take cash out at the ATM either obviously. I would have been stuck at home all day. I wouldn't have been able to give a small amount of money to my friend. Being able to lock people out of their bank accounts is far more specific, and disabling, than regulations on cash could be.
Journos tried to bad-mouth archives and especially archive.{is,ph,today} back in 2014 and have been ever since because it shows how much you stealthily edit articles to hide the mistakes you make (lies you tell).
Yes, technically correct, but we still want to use real numbers, which is what I was getting at.
Probably not from one of the SS-18 variants that had a single large 20MT or 25MT warhead - don't think the Russians have any of those still deployed though.
The 747 was the first widebody (dual aisle) plane ever produced, but the 707, 727 and 737 all came before it.
Suspected German coup plot spawns dozens of arrests
Yes, they've being trying, but as far as i noticed failed, cause the underlying systemic problems haven't changed. Buildings are status symbols, designed top-down. Those deeper societal issues, like classism, have gotten even worse.

"Outdoor air conditioning" sounds totally ridiculous and a quick search suggests it's just as bad as it sounds. There should be no world cup in Qatar to begin with.
The equivalent of our behavior in chimp world would be layoffs turning to execution, not removal from a job.

I'm sure someone educated enough to use the internet can argue in good faith and relativate what the human world equivalent of chimp behavior would be.
Happen to have any recommendations for other resources on Irish History or The Troubles?

I checked out "The Northern Ireland Conflict: Bolinda Beginner Guides" by Aaron Edwards and Cillian McGrattan a few years ago, but was a little underwhelmed by how the information was presented - it felt a little one sided, if I remember correctly.

Alternatively, "The Celtic World" by The Great Courses (audiobook) was pretty good, but a little overwhelming in the amount of time it was covering (Again, I think. It's been a few years since I listened to it.) I'd really like to hear something historical about Ireland that focuses in on one or two eras/generations, not necessarily a "Here's the last 1,000 years" type approach. Anything in particular around the time Romans had come to the English area would be of especial interest to me, due to certain religious perspectives and beliefs I'm interested with.
Because we changed our view of what humans are.

We used to think of humans as something special, with a special spark. "Created in the image of God" was the culturally-dominant statement of this, but the idea was much more culturally pervasive than among people who believed the Bible literally. We believed in the soul, or something like it.

As a society, we no longer believe that. We believe that humans are purely material beings, arising purely by naturalistic means, with nothing more than very complicated natural processes. No soul, no mind that is anything separate from the brain. Bound by the laws of physics, which give rise to the laws of biochemistry, which give rise to the laws of neurology. Merely a complicated assembly of atoms, and nothing more.

And as a result, art died and was replaced by something else.

We used to think that there was such a thing as beauty, and that humans could create it. We don't think that anymore. Art now is what someone does deliberately with the intention of it being art, and nothing more.

Everything is ugly because we no longer think that real beauty is possible.
To be clear, _saying_ that one takes full responsibility without further action means nothing.

Responsibility for a bad thing means that you are ultimately to blame, so if you take responsibility, you should either step down or present a detailed action plan. Otherwise you're saying "I messed this up and I also don't know how to fix it but I don't intend to stop being the leader"--which is (ironically) a very irresponsible stance.
They probably forced "Peeps" as fast as they could because if the employees started referring to themselves as "Chimps" they could have all sorts of trouble.
Is there an "awesome"-style list of things that are slowing server-side IPv6 adoption? If not, these would be a good start.
#2 is distinct from pure DevOps/SRE. Those roles have co-opted the infrastructure meaning to be more along the lines of "making sure things don't catch fire at 3am." Which is valuable, but, even farther removed from programming.

Still, they value the same things that the "pure infrastructure" people I were referring to do simply because they end up being on the hook for how it behaves.
Lmfao calling them Plaids as you lay them off is so hilariously tone deaf it makes sense why it’s better to just call your employees people.
I had to disable IPv6 on my macOS in order to download packages from GitHub that brew uses, it took me days to figure out the problem.
A request can have a large range of queries within it so I was trying to account for that. If your requests are lightweight and mostly reads, you can do 1,000+ req/sec on a 256MB instance. YMMV.
Samsung plans to launch a mixed reality headset for developers in 2023
Some businesses are already going cashless (here in Finland, have understood it is also happening on Sweden).

As most people anyways pay card/phone/app, it’s not worth of trouble to deal with cash. Handling cash gives you security problems (robberies) and adds costs (need to regularly take money to bank).
vscode has a portable version that can be installed as a project local tool. So would vscode installed in such a way also be an exception to this approach?
Sometimes I wonder why people don't have the foresight to reserve posts like this for their personal thoughts. Don't ruin a good thing with speculation of its demise.
You should switch to WizTree. Rather than recursively calling directory listing functions, it directly reads and parses the file tables itself. This makes it orders of magnitude faster. I have a 2 TB hard drive full of a million files, and WizTree reads and parses it all in under a minute, whereas I can expect WinDirStat to take half an hour.

On an SSD, WizTree only takes a couple seconds.
Could it be that people consume too much online video to have spare video cycles to see a movie. There is just a glut of audio-visual material out there.
Its a wrought steel truss in the shape of a basic geometric construction. Impressive for 19th century civil engineering. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Compare that to Notre Dame. Also really very tall, but with no iron skeleton, no continuum mechanics. Geometry, in fact, holds it together - an architect had no other tool at the time - but the basic shapes are subtle, and don't scream at you "I am a curve on the Cartesian plane"
The effects aren't limited to just falling in. Once you pass the event horizon it's game over, but remarkably little matter from, say a star falling in, will actually reach the event horizon. For one example, a lot of particles get swept up in the magnetic maelstrom surrounding spinning black holes and are shot away from the poles at near the speed of light. That's what we're seeing here.
If it is 8.5 billion light years away and was traveling at the speed of light (100% instead of 99.99%) wouldn't it take 8.5 billion light years? Wonder how you got to the 850K years figure.
got it. thanks! is there any application that gpt2 would be enough and could work as well as gpt3?

> - Discord. A little over half said they use it routinely. I should have asked more about this.

People have been using Discord to host chats for student societies, classes, to complete group work, and other school related messaging threads (seems to replace school subreddits).

There are some school provided class chat boards from things like Blackboard, but those are monitored by the instructors and TAs. The discussions tend to be more open and frank in Discord.
systemd has never been a one-daemon-fits-all solution... it's dozens of daemons.
You might be wrong: it could be that the increase in productivity lowers cost and in turn increases demand. See Jevon's Paradox.
See also tkdu for a graphical version: https://github.com/daniel-beck/tkdu

It's abandoned but it still works, and I like it because you can pipe the output of du into it, which is useful for visualizing remote systems.
Yes, 100% aligned on the old books. I haven't purchased a bestseller or anything "new" in some time.
Same here; been disabling it since it was introduced to Fedora... a release or two ago.

My desktops have 64GB+ of memory typically, they're virtualization workhorses. I don't know what it is in oomd, but any time I make actual real use of it, things started getting killed.

Zero memory pressure. Talking sections of 60+GB free, so it's not fragmentation either.

The grouping of the entire session the link suggests seems likely
Oh, you are right. For some reason I thought I saw unsigned in there.
I'll try to explain why I think it's gross.

All of these tech companies come up with cutesy terms for employees. "Googlers", "Plaids", "Metamates", "Splunkers", "Pinployees". It seems like a cheap way of tying workers' identities to The Company.

It's a cheap gesture used in an attempt to create a distinct "culture".

So in the context of a mass-termination, it really rubs me the wrong way to refer to these people as "Plaids". They're clearly not that, because you're sending them packing!

Lets get back to identifying our personnel with real terms. Employee, technician, associate, etc.

The Vogons did tell us about the hyperspace expressway in advance but did we listen?
Blender imo is a much larger learning curve than fusion. In my experience Fusion or solidworks are about fundamentally how to construct a model. Whereas blender is much more oriented towards someone who may be more technically minded. As well as being just for surface models not real world objects.
Eyes on Belarus as Russia's ally and Ukraine's neighbour moves troops
Inertia on the part of large services, providers, and infrastructure isn't much of a surprise.
Those abstractions are still leaky, e.g. it's entirely possible that an optimizing compiler could apply correct monoid laws and end up with a program that has vastly different space usage.
>>Kind of a stretch, no?

Nope. Not unless there are actions to backup the words. Some kind of actual sacrifice that helps actually cleanup the mess.

E.g., do the CEO & Execs give back all bonuses and substantial salary for the past X years these bad decision were made, and keep working for $1/year until they are fixed? Do the CEO & Execs personally make calls using their own personal & professional capital to find new jobs for those they are firing?

If not, it is just performative bullshirt.
> (They stopped at the onset of the pandemic and AFAIK never resumed.)

From what I can tell, the pandemic gave many government functions and bureaus carte-blanche to stop working while collecting the same paychecks.
I don't believe that for a second. Are you saying Xi's children and grandchildren would be denied admission at Beijing University if they wanted it? I'm betting the answer is no. Now extend that thinking to the Standing Committee? Would any of their kids/grandkids be rejected? Now extend that to the entire Politburo.

Now we can ask the question: Is it the grades that decide admission or the number if steps removed from the Premier? Merit, my ass.
Here’s the secret to this thread.

Every “adult” generation always hates 50-100 year old architecture, because that was what was slightly old and starting to show its age when they were kids.

Gen-X/Millenials associate brutalism with non-renovated stuffy classrooms, empty downtown office buildings, and dirty public plazas.

Then a bunch get torn down (usually the lowest effort versions) and people adaptively re-use the best ones and everyone remembers the original intent of the style and falls in love with it again.

Seriously, people in the 60’s thought Victorian homes were a blight on San Francisco.
These tech company layoffs were already in full-swing before Twitter's hit.

https://tech.co/news/tech-companies-layoffs according to this Better.com started all the way back in 2021 with a "layoff via Zoom call" which I remember people complaining about. At least these are better.
We have long since moved from notion that the internet is an opt in tool. I fondly remember when Mac OS 9 would prompt you about the internet on first boot and you could pick "my computer does not connect to the internet". Looking at you Windows 11.
Thank you. Do you know any open source model that works generating code from natural language? I tried salesforce codex and it sucks big time.
Although (a + b)/2 rounds towards 0, while the non-overflow solutions round up or down.
By his logic, an object moving at 0% of the speed of light would arrive instantly.
Yes, the outside observers can see the item falling into the blackhole while the object experiences more and more time dilation.

If you were falling into a wormhole, you would die of old age before getting there while outside observers would see you fall in quickly.
There have been attempts to block it, that's why it has so many domain names. I think one of the earlier ones was archive.it, but it no longer goes there.
ChatGPT for layoff announcements

> generate a notice that approximately 4000 people are going to be laid off

Dear valued employees,

It is with great regret that we must inform you that our company will be downsizing and approximately 4000 employees will be laid off. This decision was not made lightly, but it has become necessary in order to keep our company financially viable.

We understand that this news may be difficult to hear and we are committed to helping those affected by this change transition to new employment. We will be providing severance packages and outplacement services to assist in this process.

Please know that this decision in no way reflects on the hard work and dedication of our employees. We are grateful for the contributions that each and every one of you has made to our company.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

I've saved the day once or twice by having a built of ncdu that I can just copy to /dev/shm to figure out what went haywire.
Sets off the alarm (an in a Tesla, gives you a phone notification) whenever a window is broken, or something enters the vehicle while it is locked. In an American car (at least last time I checked a few years ago), the alarm only goes off if you use an interior handle while the car is locked.
This kind of comment is exactly what Rust skeptics are talking about when they are referring to the toxic Rust community.
Overhiring right before a recession/tightening of the money supply is not exactly 'bringing chaos to the community'. With the 20/20 benefit of hindsight, its a mistake, but its not a malicious mistake.

Also, I'll remind you that the Fed is actively trying to increase unemployment. Do you think that's going to happen without people... Losing their jobs?

Abstraction has a slight cost but doesn't inherently mean it's very expensive. The cost of abstraction is generally worth buying because it allows you to write code in more independent blobs which reduces complexity and thus bugs and potential bugs.

But using abstractions to "solve" a hard problem is dearly expensive. By "solving" I mean pushing up the hard parts one layer at a time until you eventually can't avoid solving it for real. At best, maybe you're lucky and someone else has to solve it, by working through all the layers of abstractions you built on your way to negotiate yourself out of the hard spot. But those abstractions are expensive because they don't reduce complexity nor offer any tangible benefit except keeping their creators in their comfort zones.
Unfortunately these smaller models are also terrible at performance, particularly the GPT-2 model small model is really unsuitable for the task of generating text. The largest models publicly available, which are nowhere near GPT-3 Da Vinci level, are tens of GBs.

We may be able to reduce the size without sacrificing performance, but that's an area of active research still.
You don't need Czech letters on your keyboard; I don't have them on mine. That's the beauty of diacritics: they are compositional. I use compose key to type various letters like é, č, ö, ø, æ, ï, etc on my plain American ANSI keyboard.

OTOH to type fast, you might want a more ergonomic input mechanism. (But I won't dive into the rabbit hole of really ergonomic keyboard layouts; if you're curious, search for KMonad, and think about e.g. the convenience of having modifier keys right in the home row.)

Of course there was a process involved, the edwardian era was stripping down classicism and art nouveau was recognizably post-classical, but WWs1&2 (and the subsequent rebuilding of europe and build out of america) is where modern architecture took over.

The earliest important modernist building from Gropius was Fagus, in 1911: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagus_Factory

Sullivan, sometimes considered an early modernist, was building buildings like this as late at 1889:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditorium_Building_(Chicago)

Birmingham UK is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and as late at 1909 was building train stations that look like this:

Surrendering the aesthetics that everyone save a small group of intellectuals, ideologues and capitalist sharpers likes to the right (and arrogantly dismissing us as intellectually unsophisticated) strikes me as an own-goal.
TL;DR: Sounds like the title of a Ramones song!
Edlin was 2K and for a year or two was my main editor.
You could increment integers so long as you make it clear what you will do in the overflow case. Either use bigints with no overflow, specify that you do in fact want modular behavior, or specify what you want to do when your fixed width int overflows upon increment. That seems eminently sensible, instead of having overflow just sit around as a silent gotcha enabled by default everywhere.

Depends on the jurisdiction, but copyright-infringement usually is a crime.
It doesn't help that the power cord extension they used to ship (and can still buy for $20) flat out refused to be coiled in any sort of way. Even a large loop would spring back straight immediately. Absolutely awful experience. I kept my old power cord extension from my MagSafe 1 charger from 2009 for this very reason.
> It is an interesting philosophical question

Like many “interesting” philosophical questions, its grounded in a false premise; the description of alphabets derived from the Latin or Cyrillic with subsequent evolution and possibly admixture as “Latin” or “Cyrillic” is imprecise; its a letter of a particular Ukrainian alphabetic of mostly Cyrillic derivation but some Latin influence. (This can be simplified either of the ways siggested by the question for purposes like defining international character sets, but then it is more of a practical question than philosophical.)

Where I live it gets confusing as a lot of people put off those signals but are in instead just extra friendly straight people.

I thought a coworker was giving me signals previously and asked them if they use Grindr, and they said "I'm not gay", and I had to save face by saying "Oh sorry I meant Tinder, I said that because I'm gay haha, because I'm used to talking about the app I use haha, definitely not implying haha".
Yes, they can do that but cannot stay, the collateral being their family in NK.
