This is my experience with Win 10 as well. In fact I dare say, Win 10 in the past 5 years is one of the best desktop OS's of all time. No crashes, perfect customizability to turn off things, fast and responsive.

However that said, I'm extremely worried about Win 11, and when I saw all the things they changed in the taskbar (no text labels, no option to never combine icons), the right click menu and so on, I was very disappointed. I did get the send to menu back with a thing and I know you can use winaerotweaker to get all the old stuff back, but a part of me wants to be on the native OS stuff whenever possible and not change core OS with third party apps. But I'm also worried about what they might further do in the future and in 5-10 years, incompatibility in programs/etc with Win 10 might make using it very bothersome so you have to update at some point.
> Are you a software engineer looking for ways to make your workflow more efficient, or tired of manually sifting through long commit logs to understand pull requests? Introducing the GPT summarizer GitHub action: a powerful tool that leverages OpenAI’s latest and greatest large language model to generate concise and informative summaries of the entire pull request, as well as descriptions of the changes to individual files and individual commits.

This kind of stupid.

1. At best, all this can do is look at what you actually committed, but that's not going to tell you the most useful stuff that should be included in a commit message, like why you're making the change in the first place and what your intent was (which may deviate from what you actually did).

2. If you wrote the damn commits, you should be able to describe them yourself. If you can't, something's wrong.

The only case where I can see a tool like this being useful, instead of a bad habit, is summarizing old commits, where the committer didn't put anything useful in the commit message.
I don't know the specifics of Apple's case. There is no real need, imo. I'll elaborate why I say that.

Apple, an American company, made critical decisions based on what was said, disclosed, or strongly implied publicly and privately regarding both national and international political (leadership) consensus on globalization and China. Disregarding orthogonal ideological e.g. "(American/x) corporations are inherently bad", considerations, -imo- fair minded evaluation of Apple (or any ~Western company) would need to give weight to what political leadership, at both national and international levels, have done and are doing.

Let's say Apple leaves China cold turkey, on principal. The abrupt and unprepared move ultimately ends the golden ride and Apple is out of the handset market. Who are we then buying our smart spyware/assistants from? Some company in Asia, correct?

If the principal is truly that important (and I am -not- saying it isn't) then political leadership has to uniformly decouple from China. Why should Apple shoulder what is ultimately a geopolitical cost? And yes, you and me desiring a world according to our value system where the state can not illegally force private organizations to violate human rights is a geopolitical desire. So Apple should do certain things, but political leadership, and consumers, also need to do their bit as well.
"I don't even know how to code."

In another interview back in June 2020 he stated he did engage in coding and was aiming to improve his skills.

After the bankruptcy, his narrative has changed from "I am trying to improve" to "I do not even know how".

1. He addresses this repeatedly throughout the piece. Journal impact factor is (largely) uncorrelated to replication probability.

2. Yes, but this hardly seems like a defense of citing something false (without comment), or something that has literally been retracted years ago, which is a large part of his complaint.

He is not suggesting the use of citation count as a metric for quality. I have no idea how you could have possibly gotten that from reading this article. A bullet point in his "what to do" section is literally "ignore citation counts".
Same here.

Funnily enough, I started noticing mine more when I moved to a new Apple silicon macbook that didn't need the fan running full all-day.

I was like "oh cool - I can have a silent workspace now", and I also disabled my Dyson fan's "constant air quality monitor" which spit our some constant decibels. Then when I was in silence, I realized I could notice it a lot. Maybe it's why I didn't notice it in the first place.

It's kind of a blessing to experience it so you can be aware.
Thanks for the kind response! :)

I suppose I can understand that. I think that there could be some "wiggle room" there, but it would depend on how hard something like an ending would clash with the thematic elements leading up to that ending. I.e. a dreary, dystopian future leading into Baby Elephant Walk for the credits would probably be an objectively poor choice unless could be executed in some sort of "perfect" way. There's just such a wide array of small choices that can dictate the final product that, yeah, I can't really disagree with what you're saying. There's always an exception to an exception, or even a mere alternative to the standard.

In a way, it's frustrating because I do think it would feel more satisfying if the general principals were more concrete, but in the same breath, that lack of precision is also what allows for enough variety to help spark creativity and unexpected twists and turns. I do think that there is something to be said for, say, arbitrary restrictions, to help encourage someone to be more creative with limited tools, but the variety of options also has clear and obvious benefits as well.
Another thing that stood out: “the primary school” instead of just “primary school”. It implies there was only one primary school where you lived, which I’m guessing is not what you meant.

I don’t give “nativeness” corrections like this unless asked, but when I do, it can be fascinating to dig around in my unconscious language skills to try to explain why things sound “wrong”.
I can't understand what you are trying to say. Are you calling a bytecode interpreter a virtual machine? Are you thinking of abstract machines like the p-machine or warren abstract machine (which were really just bytecode interpreters with fancy names)? Every BCPL compiler I know of generated assembly code; Mini Pascal was written in OCaml so implicitly targeted its bytecodes...?

And what do you mean that the PDP-8 had a "reduced ISA"?

I'm utterly puzzled here.
That's definitely what RSC accomplishes, which I mentioned in my comment.

I still used it on a 486 in the mid-nineties in drawing routines to switch the drawing mode without having to have a dynamic function call in the inner loop (or having to duplicate the drawing routine for each mode).

I think it was the Pentium that introduced split instruction/data caches on x86.

But is there anything wrong with the linked article?
FTX paid off journalists, too.[1][2]

"The Block is a cryptocurrency-focus media outlet that was originally founded in 2018 by Mike Dudas. In 2020, Michael McCaffrey became CEO of the company, and in 2021 he led a buyout to make the company employee-owned.... Now it has come to light that McCaffrey had actually taken a series of loans amounting to $43 million from Sam Bankman-Fried... The original $12 million loan was used for the company buyout. Another $15 million loan in January 2022 went towards company operations. A third $16 million loan was used... to buy personal real estate in the Bahamas."

Since those were set up as "loans", the FTX bankruptcy receivers will be around to collect.

More FTX-related crashes:

* Digital Surge (Australia) just went bust.

* Orthogonal Trading just went bust. "FTX exposure"

* Bankman-Fried's father has disappeared from the Stanford course listings. He was a professor.

In related news, federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York met with FTX bankruptcy attorneys. So criminal charges are being considered. SDNY is probably the best-qualified group of prosecutors to handle this. They're famous in legal circles for untangling complicated large-scale scams and getting convictions. They've been doing it for over 200 years.[4] They've seen it all before and will not be confused by bullshit.

That fraction is still larger than the economical utilization of space.

Think about how little propellant it takes to move products on Earth. And that's not even counting for the fact that transport vehicles on Earth runs a heavy percentage of its life time while a rocket does not do that. Even Falcons spend most of their time getting ready or recycled and not on an ascend or descend trajectory.

Isn't the true "ideal" a space elevator so you can continously deliver between the moon and the earth without having to burn lots of resources every single time?

Shouldn't that be what we optimize for in the long run? Its the only way I can think of that space cargo becomes economical. Then you can ship raw material up to the Moon and build from there, launch from there etc. and vice versa.

> Who called Trump an idiot for his criticism of German energy policy?

You're right that this was a pretty easy call made by tons of people for a very long time before & after Trump. Also, GP is a little off, they didn't actually call him an 'idiot', they just smirked and said that they knew better:

Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2018/09/25/trump-accuse...

> German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas could be seen smirking alongside his colleagues.

...

> Trump’s attacks haven’t changed that calculus. After his July remarks, Merkel responded that she may be in a better position to judge her country’s dependence than the current U.S. president.

> “I’ve experienced myself a part of Germany controlled by the Soviet Union, and I’m very happy today that we are united in freedom,” she said at the time.

They make money off of X% of N travelers per day stopping to buy a coffee, cigarettes etc. If you require a substantial amount of space to be taken by travelers who sit there charging for 30 minutes, you're reducing peak travelers (eg during the morning and evening commutes) and significantly reducing total traffic. Claiming that they're all going to come in for a slurpee and this will happen to work out neutral or positive for the gas station is pure handwaving.

What's wrong with Tailwind and Bootstrap?

The reason the ecosystem is focusing on framework-specific component libraries is because people want out-of-the-box components that do things, not just ones that look nice. That's very difficult to deliver without an opinionated framework; specifically you'll massively sacrifice developer experience. I feel much more comfortable about using libraries like Elastic UI than I ever did using something like jQuery-ui or Bootstraps's JS extensions.
Information that can be automatically extracted from the delta is the least important part of a good commit message. I can figure that part out from looking at the commit later. Instead, what I really want to know is why you made the change. What is the context? What problem were you solving? Why this way and not other ways you might have solved the problem?

A summary of what the change does is still useful, and I'm glad this can now be automated, but it's not the main benefit of a well written commit message.
Yeah, I'd like to know as well :)

To your point, they might, but a new MKB every time? Probably not. So for say 66.66% it's a one and done purchase.

I appreciate that when unexpected outcomes occur it's tempting to vent frustrations and say things in a way intended to influence the feelings of others to validate our own frustrations and feelings. However, as a former colleague of mine (Bryan Cantrill) frequently reminds everyone, empathy is a core engineering value:

I completed the second decade of my software development career just a few years ago and it already seems like the third decade is speeding by. The first 17 years were in the *nix world and the last five have been as part of the Windows development team.

There have been many times that I have incorrectly assumed why a particular outcome occurred only to find out later as I suddenly became responsible for that same scenario that they had good reasons for their choices, and it was either the best possible outcome at the time given constraints or very much an unintended one.

In short, I have been extremely fortunate to have a number of mentors during my career that have helped me realize that perspective and empathy are key to understanding the complexities of software development. Through those experiences I have come to believe that software development is just as much a social discipline as a technical one, especially at scale.

Thanks for your kind consideration.

Aside from the hilly areas of San Francisco, it is quite flat too. Whenever I've visited SF my primary mode of transit is walking. Except for the time I stayed in a hotel at the top of Nob Hill, I was generally walking on land that is flatter than that found in my neighborhood and the older parts of the UW Madison campus.

From what I recall of Columbus, it is every bit as flat as you say. I'd have a hard time telling you about a hill in Chicago. Then again, I'd have a hard time telling you about a time that I was on something other than an 6+ lane highway in Chicago. The view you get from a major highway is often different from what you get in areas where you think of your kids having a casual bike ride.
It's not pedantic, it's me fighting back against all these non-scientific logic shortcuts. Taste buds don't exist "to do" anything; they just exist. We can't anthropomorphize everything all the time, and then use those attributed human qualities to make our points.

"Taste buds want do taste sugar because they know how many calories sugar has, but they are fooled by this mean chemical, and it makes them feel bad, so blah blah blah." It gets so tiring.
Not just universities; there are also extant high schools going back at least to the sixth century.

Unlikey. PC gamers don't care if they're running Windows or Linux, they just want the top 10 games to run. Linux can't even do that.

I have to dispute that doing it more safely is a worthwhile goal for SLS.

It's useful to think about safety issues in terms of the statistical value of a human life. This is how much one should be willing to spend to save one expected life. It's a vital number for planning purposes. For example, should we install a guard rail at this corner? Is controlling this release of this chemical justifiable? Compute if the cost is less than the expected value of lives saved. If so, spend the money, if not, don't.

The usual statistical value of a human life is around $10M. And you immediately see the problem: a rocket that costs $1B to launch is, in effect, killing 100 statistical people just by being launched. If the result of the launch is valuable enough to justify that mathematical carnage, wouldn't it also justify subjecting the astronauts to real risk? Conversely, if it's worth delaying a launch to reduce the risk to astronauts, is the launch really worth having spent all that money on at all?

The space program has been caught in an internal contradiction, where the purported benefits are claimed to justify large expenditures, but not claimed to justify risking astronauts. And this makes no sense.

To actually justify reducing astronaut risks, launch and mission costs must first be greatly reduced.
You are failing to drill out the ends of the cracks, as the author did, failing to glue, and failing to buy a better quality product, slightly more expensive, that would not demand you return to the dollar store so frequently.

Our body is breaking down constantly, but it's also rebuilding itself. It's not an inanimate object which wears down until it breaks.

I view exercise as giving your body, and brain, proof that the rebuilding is still needed, and information on where to direct resources.

If you never take a walk, why expect your body to rebuild itself to be good at walking? Eventually it'll lose its capacity because it (correctly) "learns" that isn't important to you.

Programming Throwdown is a pretty good podcast Ive been listening to it for a few years. The first 20 or so episodes, they had a segment that focused on a specific programming language, the history, application and quirks which was a fun way to learn more about coding and the different tools (languages) available. They’ve since evolved to cover more practical topics such as test driven development, AI etc. it’s a good one.

If you’re a python fan, Talk Python To Me is a great podcast. Covers so many topics within python from libraries, frameworks and special tools.

The thing I like about these two podcasts is that they don’t assume that their listeners are primarily web developers. Since I don’t work in the web domain, it’s been tough to find a good podcasts that cover CS more broadly.
