"It gets better. Girls love their daddies eventually."

As the father of a 20 month old, this year has been rough; she wants Mommy all the time and now that she's mobile there's not much I can do about it short of physically restraining her.

At the end of November she finally decided that I wasn't completely terrible; I went to Vegas for re:Invent and she was going from room to room looking for me. She still wants Mommy more, but Daddy has moved up a step from "unwanted intruder" to "somebody we take for granted but miss when he's gone".

clang --target=wasm32

That's it, you target WASM

People somewhere decided that it was too easy and went ahead to bloat everything with Emscripten, WASI and the like

Here is all you need to know to target WASM: https://schellcode.github.io/webassembly-without-emscripten

The only target for WASM is the browser, everything else is just bloat and a waste of energy
Scroll view is way better, it’s how you do most of your other reading on the phone.

There’s a relatively straightforward deque implementation too if you need to append in addition to pushing. It can require a little rebalancing, but I imagine it amortizes to constant time.

Coinbase is like an empty casino with lots of employees, a solid vault, and no one at the table games. Binance is like a packed casino with few employees and about as transparent as mud.

I wonder how this affects covid safety. Are cashiers like distribution hubs for it since they are exposed to so many people, wheras customers are only exposer to a few?

Self checkout is also faster than employee checkout has been for as long as I can remember.

It seems like most people feel they are safer, so at the very least it's a better customer experience for many.

From their FAQ:

1. What is this? Are you serious?

Yes. We are both serious and excited about this concept and intend to work with OEMs to bring these watercraft to market. We have confidence your skepticism will be alleviated by further exploration of the FAQs.
I don’t think they would know how to do that.
I never got accustomed to reading book on my iPhone It never felt quite right despite (or maybe because of) the skeuomorphism attempt.

If anything knowing the interface evolved is actually encouraging me to give it another go.

The API of 'Linux' is its system calls, and I guess very few Android apps are coded against that; most use the Android SDK. So presumably Android's services and API surface need to be ported to desktop Linux, which is probably very involved.
I've come to agree, 100%.

Every company needs a benevolent dictator with exceptional taste who is addicted to simplicity. This can be a platform architect, this can be a product person, etc.

But without that person, with design-by-consensus, you end up with a company that is addicted to complexity, building a product that looks like it was disparate components that have been continually stuck on the end with duct tape.

This is why we have the bystander effect, and why in EMS, you need to point to someone and assign them the responsibility of calling 911. There needs to be one person accountable, otherwise there is no one accountable.

Why? No, seriously. Why? Have I tried to persuade people to use Hasura? No. Have I tried to persuade people that it's good or better than the competition? No. In fact, I only mentioned it in equal terms along with two other competitors, which I DON'T work for (Postgraphile and Supabase, both good products).

What I have done is present not matters of judgment, but matters of fact.

Fact: Apollo is not _the_ GraphQL company.

Fact: Apollo isn't the only one with a GraphQL client library

Fact: Apollo isn't the only path to creating a GraphQL server

As matters of fact, these are either true or false, but readers are free to evaluate which they are on their own. They shouldn't trust me, because I'm a stranger on the Internet. But then again so are you and so are most or all people here.

You say that if I don't disclose who I work for people will trust me less. That's silly, because people here shouldn't trust me at all, nor should they trust you, or anyone else, for the reasons I just gave.

In short: don't accept without careful scrutiny anything you read on the Internet, no matter who says it.

> It was their business

If it was there business that was the case before they left CA. If they leave CA because they think lower taxes alone will help them, they are dead businesses walking. Moving won't help them at all.

> It's immediately apparent from you blaming "underlying costs"

Sure. Sure.

You are focusing on taxes. There's so much more to the issue than just taxes. In fact, I would say lower taxes is just gravy. The structural issues in CA are very serious. If you really want to understand, watch the video I linked. That's just a starting point, BTW.

> for example, your rooftop solar complaint

I guess you don't understand solar either.

Here's a bit of useful advice:

Take your own money. Start a non-trivial business in CA and learn about business reality.

At the same time, take your own money, install a solar system on your home and then learn about the realities of solar as well.

My favorite saying, often attributed to Mark Twain: A man holding a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

Most people think they "know", when they really don't. This is seen all the time on HN and other online forums where people love to voice strong opinions on everything, whether they know anything about it or not. It would be funny, except when people have the right to vote on things they truly aren't qualified to understand. It would be like me voting on issues of medical science. Not qualified. At least I am honest enough to understand and admit this.
Kindle added this animation style to their app, and I love using the app more because of it. It was one thing I lived about Apple’s eBooks that I didn’t get on Kindle (but the catalogue and other features made up for it).

This is a good explanation. Writing the masks in big-endian somewhat obscures things.

As an aside, while recent developments in quicksort are quite good, it seems like MSB radix sort performs comparably to (or slightly better than!) these algorithms on random inputs.
Agreed. Hierarchy is important. Someone asked me to do something? Directly above me in the hierarchy - done. Someone at my level or under me? Add it to the backlog along with 100s of other things.
Yep. Their driver switches which DX9 implementation based on which game is running, according to which they've observed has better performance.
Trading requires this, but pure long-$coin speculation does not.
Humans hold part of the key, human organization another, quality/design of tools around human organization do the rest.

Modern tools are made to "keep user on our platform", witch is a very BAD thing for collaboration, modern tools tend to be all walled gardens, as a result collaboration with the world is VERY BAD and so on.

Let's imaging an international payment system NOT designed around brokers with a gazillion of proprietary platforms but a COMMON API, let's say similar to OpenBank, where ANYONE, not only financial institutions participate. Than payments would be far simpler for anyone, so they do their part to help collaboration for some activities. Let's say we cooperate with plain text files, so we do not have formatting issues, version issues etc common on crappy WYSIWYG platform. Another part of collaboration became easier and so on. YES, this tools are part of the game because they are part of the workflow, it's not just specific sharing tools. Physical environment is part of the game as well: if we are in comfortable places with comfy tools we collaborate better.

There is no holistic approach takeable by single companies, simply the platform model is nice for the platform owner business but harmful for the society and the more we advance the more we cut small part of it to allow collaboration. It's about time to admit that and start change course a bit more seriously...
You have to go first. If you don't make it happen, it doesn't happen.

This is especially true in adults relationships. If you don't put yourself out there and voluntarily assume the risk of going first, risking rejection, etc. then nothing is going to happen. Other people are not going to call you to hang out.
And usury is awful.
>If your baby monitor signals go into my home and I am able to demodulate them into a clear signal then why shouldn't I be able to?

Do you genuinely believe that you being allowed to spy on to your neighbours unencrypted baby monitor is a good thing that's helpful for society at large?

For example, in Finland this is legislated as follows:

Section 37 – Confidentiality of radiocommunications

(1) Radiocommunication is confidential and may be received only by those for whom it is intended. (46/2005)

(2) Whoever receives or otherwise has information on a confidential radio transmission not intended for him/her must not wrongfully disclose it or make use of the knowledge of the contents or existence of the transmission.

(3) The following are not considered to be confidential radiocommunications:

...1) initial transmissions of television and radio programmes;

...2) emergency calls;

...3) radiocommunications conducted using a public calling channel;

...4) the amateur service;

...5) shortwave radiocommunications in the 27 MHz frequency band; or any other radiocommunication intended for general reception. (46/2005)

The penalty for violating this law is a court-determined fine.

Do you think that this law is overall a net-positive or a net-negative for society? What good things come from you being able to listen to arbitrary transmissions intended for someone else?

I asked a person from a PC repair shop regarding diy rewiring the board in E14 to ignore the soldered RAM, and he told that it is theoretically possible, but there the risk of overheating the board.

On the other hand, basing on this Dell laptop diy rewiring case, if soldering all Serial Prescence Detect module resistors to position 0 can make BIOS to expect zero soldered RAM and switch to socketed RAM , such soldering seems doable moderately easily by yourself.
The old animation was a must-have for those of us who fiddle with edges of pages when reading physical books. Only method of ebook reading I've seen that satisfied that particular I-suspect-uncommon-but-not-rare book-reading behavior. Not the same as running a finger over the corner of the whole block of pages, but close enough.
Yeah, but this causes its own set of problems when, for example, you are surprised that 0.0 is false but -0.0 is true.

In general, punning of any kind is a Really Bad Idea when code gets complicated.
Why do you think it's hard? Waydroid is very good.
> It’s important to frame the plethora of technological platforms and applications which have flooded increasingly into the workplace as only ever as good as the human minds using them. Nothing can replace this—the technology is a utility to augment the creativity and dynamics of what happens when people work together.

(emphasis mine)

i think this disregards the synergistic effects technology can have.

in particular, "good software" can formalise and make explicit processes which humans otherwise struggle to manage through tacit communication and "norms".

more than augmenting, we extend our capacities through technology. in many ways this defines our species.
Mazars and BDO are large yes, but they're not well respected. Over the past decade, both have had the ignominious distinction of having the worst PCAOB review scores of the top 100 accounting firms. It appears that their auditing practices in the U.K. aren't any better. (And both Mazars and BDO provided tax and auditing services to the Zuma and Ramaphosa administrations in South Africa, though this is because BDO's former S.A. member firm became Mazar's S.A. member firm.)

A large part of my early career in tax was fixing the mistakes made by tax advisors at these two firms.

Those who know, avoid BDO. (And Mazars too. They're actually worse.)
Because I suspect that snap uses both /home/user/snap and /var/.../snap, and needs them to be on the same disk (to allow hardlinking, I suppose).
Many games rarely update, though. They put out the original version, and then maybe a few patches to fix game-breaking bugs, and then that's how they exist from then on. If you're expecting them to update to address vulnerabilities, you're going to be very disappointed.

That said, if the library changes the API or functionality at all, dynamic linking is going to break the game, and that's not good either. So gamedevs are going to opt for static linking and call it a day rather than deal with support requests.
What's tricky is managing "the good idea BUT" situations.

Good ideas at the wrong time, or good ideas if only we had the heads, skill, money.

Say Yes to those and you can screw things up, say No and you might not be forgiven.
> It's very difficult to deserialize in serialize things like yaml and json in CL because it doesn't have a distinct false object.

Its not particularly hard to represent JSON’s type system in CL and deserialize JSON to CL objects.

Its also not particularly hard to construct and use a model of CL data in JSON from CL. (Its even easier with YAML.)

OTOH, yes, JSONs data model is almost exactly JS’s data model (minus anything callable, which js a lot of JS, and with a slightly different model of numbers, but anything that doesn’t exactly match JS’s model is canonically unreliable and so discouraged), So with any thing other than JS using JSON, you have to determine if your use case is modeling your language’s data in JSON or JSON’s data model in your language, while with a particular subset of JS you can just ignore the distinction.
I'm gonna shill for apple and say that this is probably an oversight. Something that has been around for years and everyone expects to work as such that fell out of QA testing. Hopefully they bring it back after realizing their slipup.

That being said, I've used Kindle for years because it's online etc. They have had this same feature for years on their mobile versions so I don't get how this was a killer feature of Books.
I think you're right about this. Regarding people not calling you to hang out though, I do think once you achieve a certain critical mass of relationship building (usually within a group setting) you will end up getting reciprocal invitations. But like you said, you have to put in the work first before you get to reap those rewards.
You are contradicting yourself. “The problem was that it was entirely one way.”

Yup, things are really "trucking along" in Xi's China. More like a train wreck IMO.
When a company like Facebook becomes successful it attracts a bunch of "execs" whose only job is to bleed the company dry. It's hard for people to do good work. That is why good engineers shouldn't join faang but do their own thing or join a startup which hasn't yet attracted the leeches.
You hit the nail on the head here. That's the main crux of the matter.
Actual fascists attempted a coup on January 6th 2020. Taibbi is working to bolster their case by deliberately slanting and spinning this stuff.

Here’s the blind spot I think a lot of people have, including perhaps Taibbi.

It’s fine to hate things about the current system. It’s fine to be critical of the FBI or any other part of that system. But if you want to have a revolution, the first thing you have to get right is suggesting an alternative that is better than that system, not one that is profoundly worse.

A totalitarian state run by a con man is profoundly worse than the current system. I will back the current system any day over the alternatives put forward to date.

For the record I don’t think the radical left has any better ideas either.

There’s a whole crop of people who lived thorough Iraq and the 2008 bailouts who have lost sight of that. Taibbi is probably included here. Greenwald too. They’ve forgotten that most revolutions result in something worse than what was overthrown because everyone is paying more attention to who they are against than to who they are fighting for.
Oof. The preliminary corporate outline in Appendixes B of the filing is a lot.

I guess presumably you'd want to compartmentalize risk via corporate structures in as sprawling of a business as FTX was (especially if you were aware you had terrible internal controls), but it does beg the question of what nature of business each of these entities was engaged in.

I.e. if they conducting actual business and so their existence helped firewall other FTX entities, or if they simply existed on paper for accounting fraud
> and I may never be happy again

This is what a monoculture gets us. We need more competition, and hardware to be open so we can get even more competition (also free competition).
Doesn’t that make it borderline worthless?
Depends on how extravagant they are with executive bonuses, employee perks, fancy offices and cloud resources.
Chernobyl was not the fault of rushing things. Chernobyl was the result of only having a single line of control with no separate regulatory system.

The plant (and those like it) had a flaw that when you slam on the brakes you momentarily turn *up* the fire in doing so. Normally this is harmless, but with Chernobyl the idiot in charge was so determined to proceed with his stupid safety demonstration that he didn't hit the SCRAM until the last second--and the momentary increase as the rods came in caused a major power excursion. Whether it went prompt critical or just came within a hair of it we probably will never know.

If someone were to try something like that in the US the phones at the NRC would have been ringing off the hook long before the reactor got in trouble.
My favorite is probably also the most famous--"Wernher von Braun". You can listen to that one and all of the others on Tom Lehrer's website here, in a continuous stream: https://locserendipity.com/Lehrer/Lehrer.html

I suspect we’ll see a return of the page turn animation before the next full release. It doesn’t make sense for them to leave such a basic feature behind, especially since iBooks is a front end to a revenue stream.
To make compiling easy, cargo will compile C sources (and more using build.rs), but of course that makes your Rust code dependent on compiling C code, and if your C build step isn’t ready for cross compilation then your Rust compile step cannot be.

JSON is the JavaScript Object Notation; it's in the name! The closer your language's object model is to JavaScript, the more likely it is you'll get away with treating it as a direct serialization format. Conversely, the further your language is from JavaScript, the more you'll need to add types specifically to represent JSON.
