> Doordash ... do they pop-up up-sells during the checkout process or prior to you clicking/tapping checkout?

I guess it's after you've actually placed the order, though they want you to know that it (for a limited time) anything you add during that flow will be included in your original delivery, at no extra charge. They show a map of the business and your house, and have what I would call a takeover modal on top of it. It's a modal in the sense that you can't practically do anything else before you address it, because it takes up most of the screen. It's got a countdown timer, and a list of places where you can add items to your order.

> The problem is that cost and risk of development and trials is too large for the current rewards, and hence there is very little new antimicrobials being developed

If that is so, then that research should be done by the state. The well-being of entire human race cannot be tied to monetary incentives of profiteering.
> Give passionate CEOs money and you get the next big scam.

This has been the case for decades, yet we still seem to have not learned this.

This is my observation, from having seen this happen in a couple of industries, and hearing of it happening in others.

There seems to be a "sweet spot," in new money-making stuff, where real value is produced, rewards are reaped, and scamming is low.

The industry starts off with small-scale passion projects, and relatively low rewards. Virtually no scamming, but also modest financial gains, as the passion-players start to establish the infrastructure.

Then it starts to "catch on," and a more professional approach is applied. The industry starts to scale, and the first folks on the upswing start to make some good money.

Then, after that, the scale goes up exponentially, the quality of the work nosedives, the rewards pile up, and the scamming becomes more prevalent. Many of the originators fall down, because they can't adapt to the new darwinian order.

Eventually, the whole thing becomes so corrupted, that it collapses under its own weight.

Rinse and repeat.
I had success buying a usb-c hub, that contained an hdmi output and 2x usb. This allowed me to use a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use the device. Not all android phones support hdmi out though.

The move to Solana is something I hadn't heard of before, and is absolutely par for the course with this project: technically deficient, badly planned, based in hype and bullshit.
I would encourage you to read why Stallman resigned from MIT [1]. The emails that were “leaked” were not private discussions. They were sent to email lists that included everyone in CSAIL and to be frank, were awful.

Here is a link to the emails [2].

> "Apparently WinCE games can be ported to Dreamcast too?"*

My memory is fuzzy but that seems doubtful. Windows CE for PocketPC had implementations for Windows' windowing system but IIRC Windows CE for the Sega Dreamcast did not, under the assumption that the game developer would be going straight to DirectX to manage the display.
What are examples of the state actually achieving a research objective better than free enterprise?
No, you don't wind up in the same spot. Most customers aren't like you, and don't waste their time fighting DRM and anti-RE measures: they just put up with the BS and pay through the nose for it. So the publishers profit handsomely, and the people they employ to write all that BS get paid too. The customers of all the ebooks get shafted, but they don't care about that, and they certainly don't care that they made your life harder so they could make more profit.
This is a flawed argument, in my opinion. You stop doing something unethical because it is unethical. You don't wait until you've been able to force everyone else from doing what you see as unethical (while they may not). Virtue is its own reward. Virtue isn't forcing everyone else to do what you see as virtuous.

Well yea thats all nice if you are running one single thing and one php version.

As soon as you have more than one project, some running on php 7 and some on php 8 for example you will end up with a big headache if you are not careful!

Ah yes, Nazis like the Chrstiakises[1]. Or maybe Nazis like Klaus Fiedler[2]?

[1] Professor Nicholas Christakis lives at Yale, where he presides over one of its undergraduate colleges. His wife Erika, a lecturer in early childhood education, shares that duty. They reside among students and are responsible for shaping residential life. And before Halloween, some students complained to them that Yale administrators were offering heavy-handed advice on what Halloween costumes to avoid.

Erika Christakis reflected on the frustrations of the students, drew on her scholarship and career experience, and composed an email inviting the community to think about the controversy through an intellectual lens that few if any had considered. Her message was a model of relevant, thoughtful, civil engagement.

For her trouble, a faction of students are now trying to get the couple removed from their residential positions, which is to say, censured and ousted from their home on campus. Hundreds of Yale students are attacking them, some with hateful insults, shouted epithets, and a campaign of public shaming. In doing so, they have shown an illiberal streak that flows from flaws in their well-intentioned ideology.

[2] The editor in chief of one of the world's most prestigious psychology journals, Perspectives on Psychological Science, resigned on Tuesday after the board of directors of the journal's publisher demanded he step aside—or be fired—for soliciting academic criticism of a black psychologist.

The editor, the prominent German psychologist Klaus Fiedler, stirred up controversy by agreeing to publish trenchant critiques of a 2020 article by Steven Roberts, a black psychologist at Stanford University, who had argued, among other things, that "color-blind leadership" promotes "structural inequality."

> I don’t know if this is feasible or not, but having the chat bot also be able to respond with a subset of sources that it based its answer on would be a satisfying combination of both worlds I think.

But an LLM doesn’t look at particular sources, find relevant ones, and write a response based on them, it is a mathematical summation of the way all of its sources look as sequences of text, and produces a response that based on that fits with its prompt. Identifying which sources most influence a response isn’t merely something that they don’t currently do, its information that, AFAIK, there is no plausible way to recover from the model.
If you don’t have the overhead of React you have multiple orders of magnitude more headroom. That’s enough to push common UI idioms as far as they can go in many cases - for example, interactive tables with at least 10^5 rows perform well in modern browsers so using the DOM means you can keep things simple and fast without having to struggle with the scrolling, text selection, accessibility, etc. concerns that custom widgets entail. An awful lot of applications exist where you need more than hundreds of records but fewer than millions.

There's little chance this will ever be supported by the administrative class at MIT or any other institution. By expanding protected speech it limits their power. They have fewer punitive options and less dominion over campus activities.

You don’t sell a pretty picture of child rearing and it’s purported benefits. “But it’s all worth it!” Doesn’t keep staying persuasive at some point you know!

Reg. Your grandparents forgetting the problems you have, consider that maybe they never had your problems to begin with! It’s a known fact that parenting has become a self inflicting masochistic venture in the recent generations, compounded by the increasingly nuclear nature of family structures.

They didn't conduct "invade and colonize China" exercises. It's somewhat like the difference between carrying a weapon and brandishing it threateningly.
Looks promising, but let's see how this is interpreted in practice: we unfortunately live in a world where the statement "I like Harry Potter" can be weaponized into the "direct threats, harassment" excluded from freedom of expression. (Why? Because JK Rowling doesn't think transwomen are real women, so if you support her writing, you are clearly denying that that trans people have the right to exist.)
Yeah, if it's after checkout, then it's a smart use of an interrupt; i.e. they are hijacking the person's attention to increase cart size [profits]. Still don't think they need to use a Modal though ... people will still add items they "forgot" they needed without a Modal.
I don't understand what point you're trying to make. What you're saying only strengthens my original point about Apple monopolizing repair.

My interests as a consumer and those of "people who make money out of repair" are almost completely aligned -- I want them to (be able to) work on my device in the event that I don't have the tools, skills or patience to do the repair myself.
The majority of research advances in medicine have been done with NIH grants and the free enterprise only afterwards did the "productization" of it.

If you put new code into production, that is a deployment and an engineering release.

If some of that new code is a flag that controls what customers see, then from a product perspective it’s not a “product release”. Is that what you mean?

The point is, even feature-flagged code can break things unexpectedly.
To be clear, when referring to the paper option, I'm not referring to mail and great quantities of it in one delivery past the point where a route has too many unique streets or roads for a person to recall with much accuracy.

However a person could digitally, using gps, the right script and cross referencing with say Apple's (location) maps, easily check the gps and address matches a known address, and perhaps if they have a reporting system, if there's address nearby that's had problems with deliveries previously. Those that don't require move scrutiny to discover the right place and better path to get there. As I mentioned in the earlier dupe, I actually spent 6 months or so in my youth delivering white goods, I'm aware of some of the pitfalls with poor instructions.

Most of the time the gps data might be irrelevant, we have road markers now eg [1] [2], but there would be times when it's very important for this information to be passed on to the delivery company. Case in point for non local delivery companies, when access down a no through side road is near impossible for bigger trucks to navigate some twisting and or steep incline to drop off a delivery only to find there's not enough room to turn around.

No. This stuff is intentional and the reader isn't the customer.
While I've been happy to see the MIT Free Speech Alliance come alive I'm disappointed that their web site doesn't list a specific set of current or past free speech issues and the advocacy they would have adopted for each.

Key people involved in some issues might include e.g.

* The MIT Chinese Student and Scholar Association, its funding sources, and its key advocacy areas

* Richard Lindzen (climate views)

* Joi Ito (Epstein, OpenAg)

* Ted Postol (missile defense)

* Richard Stallman

I can think of a bunch more.
If the seller had good faith, they wouldn't use DRM. Since they operate in bad faith, there's nothing wrong with pirating their stuff.
It's more the circular reasoning that frustrates me - we built our cities for ICE cars, therefore EVs aren't suitable, because we built our cities for ICE cars.

Electrolysers are (for now) slightly more mineral limited than batteries and don't last as long. Both are valuable enough to recycle, and both are having a lot of work being done in finding abundant chemistries. Batteries are further along on the latter.

Not true in the US due to compulsory licensing.

Streaming royalties are handled by blanket agreements with companies like Spotify.

Both your points seem true to me. But the hypothetical effect I'm wondering about isn't as much due t the typical students, as to the disproportionate number of "angriest opposition" individuals who did select because "non-woke" was a big factor in their decision.

So, imagine typical students being non-political, but still a lot of students who are political, and specifically on the side of really stamping-out anything they perceive as woke (or not according to market principles, or oppressing generational-wealth white males, or whatever). And maybe not enough people around who are able and willing to engage them with counterpoints. To the extent that political action does happen, that sounds to me like it could push MIT culture in a bad direction.
Containers are a nice way to package an application. The tooling that lives around deployment/infra and the “devops” practices are so abhorrent.
I’d argue you misunderstood it. I’m hypothesizing that your lizard brain forces this “kids are important” attitude on you and is artificial and ephemeral. Not what truly makes you happy long term.
Today I have zero confidence in chatGPT, OR my ability to evaluate and correct it's inaccuracies strictly from within its interface. I feel I can compensate for search engine and arrive at answer I seek within my confidence interval via search engine. It's a tool that can get me there.

That may change in the future. Based on my limited understanding on how chatgpt works,I don't see how though - it explicitly is not designed to evaluate or "understand".

So today I don't see it replacing search engine for me.
Not sure I got your point ...

I’m also excited for records/tuples, but I’d really happily settle for an intermediate “constAsConst” setting: as in if I assign a const, I’d like to be able to tell the type checker that it really is constant, that I don’t want to change any data in a collection type, essentially that it should treat the const keyword as an `as const` assertion. I’d have to fight with a bunch of other lint rules, but it’s what I mean ~99.999% of the time if I have my druthers.

> If you need to build an architecture which involves microservices, I am sure that your cloud provider has a solution that fits better than Kubernetes. E.g: ECS for AWS. Kubernetes is a fantastic toolkit, but only shines when all that it has to offer, gets used.

As far as FAAS goes, I think more people need to go check out Cloud Run as a Knative implementation. Having used it for sometime now it feels like a near-perfect FAAS solution. The only gripe I have is that versioning is a bit dopey. But hey, if I can have autoscaling services with absolute impunity over how my HTTP interface is shaped (looking at you AWS lambda) and without needing to worry about Kubernetes headaches, I’m perfectly happy to embed version names in service domains.
Meh. A small C library is easier to extend than a sprawling C++ library, and it's perfectly valid to want a minimal gui that can actually import fonts. Even just building a font atlas on top of that would be useful in a lot of projects.

Sometimes when we search for an expert in a particular field, not just a general programmer, we ask increasingly deep questions, to estimate how deep is the knowledge.

Sometimes you can justify using a thing for the wrong reasons.

I recently attached 1x NLB to each of our Swarm clusters to migrate to automatically managed certificates directly attached to the NLB (Digital Ocean).

$COMPANY has maybe ~3 users accessing each production application at a time. So the NLB itself is utterly pointless.

But Engineering no longer have to fix the certificates each quarter after users see an insecure browser warning and email us about it.

100% worth it for $12 pcm (per swarm cluster).

Why clear his name now?

I can think of a few reasons.

One, he helped deliver a major advance in nuclear capability to the US, so... gratitude.

Two, the list of national heroes, who are at the intersection of national security and Nobel-Prize-worthy intellectual achievement, who are also geniuses, is short: at the top of the list, probably Einstein and Oppenheimer. Let's put it this way, anyone else you name is likely to be the equal of Oppenheimer, not 2x smarter than him. It's not a long list.

And why might that list be important?

It's not like there's a ton of geniuses lining up to work on national security today; you could say there's a 'brain drain' problem. And, rehabilitating the reputation of one of those titanic geniuses, might be a smart thing to do at a time like this.

There's pretty much no chance you're going to get a dozen Oppenheimers; so even if you have only one in the history of your institution, you should celebrate him, if only to encourage others to follow in his footsteps.
