I believe the analysis. Here in Canada, the government passed a law not that long ago (during the pandemic) to enshrine rights of passengers for delayed and cancelled flights, which included right to specific amounts of monetary compensation in those scenarios. The law, however, had an exception, where no compensation is due if the flight is delayed or cancelled due to a safety issue. Lo and behold, the airlines have started classifying almost every delay and cancellation as a safety issue [1] and denying compensation claims left and right.

[1] Here is an example of how ridiculously far the airlines have gone in claiming everything is a safety issue, even when it is things completely within their power to control: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/air-canada-denies-compensatio...

The issue is different from this. Allowing someone within a company to access a resource without asking them is not as big of a deal. The issue here is people outside your company can add you to projects without consent.

Imagine you're a malicious actor and want to spam some company's Google Cloud Dashboard. You could just create a 100 different projects and add the company's users to those projects automatically, even though you're not part of that company. Those projects can never be removed or deleted from the dashboard. So every user at the company you're trying to spam can never get rid of it (without Google support intervening maybe).

Or let's say you're a malicious actor trying to get someone in trouble. You could create a Google account and hide all traces of who created it. Then you could just create a project doing something illegal (e.g. hosting illegal content) and then add someone to the project. When the authorities find out about the project, the person you're targeting will get investigated for hosting illegal content.
Correct.

You could rig something up in probably 2-3 days if that was super important for you.

Heex and components are essentially one-in-the-same. Heex enabled components upon its release and now the framework is (rightfully) pushing components.

Forms I agree with, though I don't feel that pain too badly. Having to be more explicit than just passing in raw parameters to an update function actually has its benefits (though I'm sure better forms are coming along).

Agreed that the framework is moving faster than the available literature on it, though people are doing their best and are doing a pretty good job of keeping up.

What is it about the boilerplate that annoys you? It's quite a bit less than Rails, though that's my only point of comparison unless you're going to unfairly compare it to a microframework. There aren't any generated files that I'm not thankful I can easily edit if I need to.
The bill originally was going to make available to customers and independent service centers the same parts and manuals that manufacturer repair centers have. The governor edited the bill slightly in a way that makes it almost useless now. It was edited to say that manufacturers don't have to provide parts if they think that there's a safety issue. They can just make a "full assembly" available rather than individual parts. This means that if you have a $800 device, and a $10 part can fix it, but the manufacturer decides that it's a "safety issue" to sell anything less than a $700 "motherboard assembly" then this negates the entire purpose of right to repair. He says "this bill allows for malicious compliance in a way that makes it functionally useless".

You are welcome to hold this view, but that is not an accurate depiction of what is covered by the course material. This course was made available in 2020, but it is still relevant at the moment, if not more relevant. It is free and available to anyone, including yourself. You could provide feedback to the course material if you decided to engage with it.
That's basically correct to a first approximation. Osteopathic schools do have some additional training in spinal manipulation as the article says but the curricula are now substantially identical otherwise and in the vast majority of states both have the same scope of practice. Relatively few DOs do spinal work anymore (none of the ones I know do, in fact), and even those that still offer it limit it to pain syndromes; compare with quack chiropracty. Some of us were MDs and some were DOs in residency and we were instructed and treated identically by our attendings.
> * I've yet to see any actual, honest to god benefits for the end user. Literally everything I've seen is the fact that it makes development easier for the wayland devs and harder for literally everyone else.

When Wayland was proposed, it’s biggest benefit was for direct rendering. At the time AIGLX was still the main hack to getting decent compositing/GL performance and had some major drawbacks. Wayland was designed in a manner more similar to the DRs in other desktop OSes (Windows and OS X, primarily). But, in its long development and adoption period, X’s DRI/DRM infrastructure has had plenty of time to mature and many of those arguments have been made moot. In fact, it still generally outperforms Wayland in many cases:

https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-510-wayland/2

Theoretically Wayland is still conceptually superior in that regard; but you’re right, it hasn’t shown the drastic improvement originally promised.
> crypto isn't a ponzi scheme...

That's inaccurate.

Most fiat currencies today are characterized with the same elements as those of ponzi schemes, its slower over time, but nevertheless it is the same elements with the central bank printing money from nothing.

Crypto can be suborned into any existing ponzi scheme easily by allowing exchanges of these fiat assets and leverage from any of those fiat systems.

Those crypto systems which have ballooned as a result of that would then accurately and appropriately be considered ponzi schemes, even though its just a small leg of the entire ponzi scheme.

There is no effective way for an individual to tell inflows and outflows from the system, and any financial banker is aware of frauds that can create the illusion of price action through the use of leverage, and collusive wash-sale contracts (similar to options). That is how gold and metals commodities are largely suppressed.

Without visibility, those frauds don't come to light, but visibility is a tradeoff when it comes to privacy, especially in 0 trust environments.

Edit: If you are going to downvote, at least do the courtesy of explaining why. If you do not, it simply looks like some brainless person using a bot is trying to censor people, and any intelligent reader will see that for what it actually is. Put another way, use your words, or look like a shill.

That is incorrect and it is obvious you never actually bothered to look at the places you're making things up about. You and/or the articles the read those things from are straight up lies, and it's impossible for you to convince me otherwise because i was there, saw what was being discussed and written day in and day out constantly being completely contradicted by journalists straight up lying to cover their jobs. You read the articles, didn't check, and got taken for a ride.
Fuller had some interesting ideas and thought about things that most people don’t consider (e.g., how much does a house weigh?), but the problem here, like much of the Dymaxion project is that it’s a complete break from the status quo in a way that doesn’t really allow for incremental change. It’s an early version of gadgetbahn: https://www.cat-bus.com/2017/12/gadgetbahn/
> Personally I prefer my money to be immune from collective action, given that it's personal funds and not collective money

> It is very nice then that nobody is required to use cryptocurrency for any reason if they don't want to. Everyone who holds cryptocurrency has explicitly opted in to those benefits and risks.

There’s an internal inconsistency in your logic between these two statements.

Money is collective action. It is others controlling you and you controlling others. You cannot have one without the other.

What you’re likely advocating for is a world without politics, where corrupt institutions are replaced by machines/systems that are pure and non-corruptible.

This is the crypto dream, but it’s older then crypto. Ayn Rand is often credited with this thinking. Also, somewhat ironically, the corrupt financial system of today (including 08 crisis) is in many ways more corrupt because it was infused with this thinking in the wave of deregulation in the 90s.

For a great history on this belief system I recommend the documentary “All watched over by machines of loving grace” by Adam Curtis.
Yeah, the big issue though is you can add people outside your company. Not just within your gsuite. Adding within the gsuite is not as big of the deal, but the ability to add anyone outside your company is a big issue because it enables mass spam

A laptop generates about 27 grams of CO2 per hour. So going from 4 hours to 2.5 minutes would save about 0.1 kg of CO2 each time the app is ran. So for a company of 1,000 people working 48 weeks per year that's almost 5 tons of CO2 that could be saved.

Ah well, 5 tons of CO2 is a fair trade off for being able to use Python, right?

What do you mean by "the technology exists"? Sure, computers exist, neural networks and machine learning exist, sensors exist. Even geofenced, unprofitable operations like Waymo's exist. But that doesn't mean self-driving cars exist. And yes, of course it has to be mass market. The self-driving story would be pointless if it weren't; that's the whole reason VCs are betting billions on it.

The problem is the insane amount of training needed. The current approach of running repeated learning iterations to iron out corner cases soon runs up against the long tail of thousands and thousands of tiny, unlikely-but-possible scenarios requiring more and more data. Every time you expand the scope of the self-driving car (different roadside conditions, behaviors of pedestrians and other drivers, new roads, weather, etc.), you discover more conditions for the model to train on.

You can't just say, "my model is intelligent. Now it's just an exercise for the reader to train the model on all possible scenarios, and voila! You have a self-driving system!". You have to actually train the model to produce a self-driving car.

This is a never-ending battle. Let me point out how utterly different it is from how human drivers deal with new conditions.

No, self-driving cars don't exist. Not yet. And it's not for legal reasons.

(One technical solution to the self-driving problem would be to also modify all the roads and surroundings to reduce the number of unlikely scenarios that our models have to learn. But this kind of solution is challenging for non-software reasons, plus it would not really be "intelligent" in terms of AGI. It would be more like a tramway. It wouldn't be sexy.)
Objectively the overwhelming majority was not "trash". However, the public at large involved in inventing that label, including you, are trash for categorizing a huge group of people that way without checking if it was true. Luckily, i checked.

Boomers are a generation of narcissists. That’s just a fact that any non-narcissist that talks to one can instantly pick up on. My personal favorite boomer quote is “how can you be so selfish, think about me!” And of course if you make the mistake of telling a boomer narcissist about any challenge you face they’ll immediately go off about how they picked themselves up by their bootstraps and worked their way through college. Note that getting disowned used to be a real threat, but now it’s not because boomer parents aren’t planning to leave their kids or grandkids anything other than a reverse mortgage they’ll never be able to pay off anyhow.
Whoops, I thought this was a Google product, given the discussion. Stubby is basically GRPC internal to Google.
By "shaping across space" I mean that the shapes of the words might be very different depending on whether there's a space or whether they're on second lines. That basically doesn't happen in Latin script (though one could possibly imagine a very fancy cursive or a stunt). So I'll give an example in Nastaliq. One of the example images[1] on Wikipedia is "خط نستعلیق" (meaning "Nastaliq script") where the "خط" is tucked under the other word when they're on the same line. There's a space between them, so it's a valid line break. If they were on two separate lines, the total width would be a lot wider because of that shaping behavior.

This is not conceptually a difficult problem, you can just shape all possible substrings between candidate line breaks to get their widths, at which point Knuth-Plass will give the optimal line breaks (relative to your objective function). But given that shaping is expensive, you really want to avoid that in the 99.99% or so cases where the width of the word isn't altered by other words beyond space boundaries. That's what the "safe to break" logic is about - letting you know when you can make that assumption, as opposed to needing to reshape to get the precise metrics.

This is an awesome resource, but I'm left wondering how to interpret the data. For instance I see that Microsoft paid for a bunch of lobbying for a bunch of things, and it's clear they had 2 meetings with NY Senators and Executive staff about S 4104. What I don't see is what they were advocating for. Are they for or against it? Did they push some language that would benefit them in the long run? All I can see so far is that they were at the table. I haven't seen the video just yet but I'm sure Louis will break it down.
Seems pretty typical of a republic though.
Not really a relevant thing to talk about here, but I find there's this trend in Linux ecosystem that people are explicitly implementing more and more policies on the code level instead of making flexible abstractions and data-fying user decisions. I'm not talking about exposing user-friendly configuration options, but is about mechanism-over-policy. The presenter mentioned "use-case over mechanism/policy", but, given a good mechanism, use-cases are just policies.

Although I do understand the value of the current approach in the industry (i.e. MVP), I think it does come with a cost - you get a large corpus of low density code that gives a lot of surprises in many different corners. Redhat-funded projects are really leading this trend (I'm looking at you systemd, the project). If you read their code, you'll instantly notice that they are becoming more and more labor-intensive, and less and less hacker-friendly. We are losing smartness for the sake of grunting.

Some might think Wayland is a smart approach, but it's actually not. It's mostly just pure grunting - a showcase of large engineering horsepower. It's a large-scale refactoring & optimization of the modern day X11 desktop ecosystem. Everything works in the exact same way, but things happen in slightly different places, and some features are banned by policy (arbitrarily outlined by wayland devs). These missing special features now need to be implemented explicitly as "protocols".

Now, I really want to ask - where are we heading here? Are we really stepping forward? I don't think so. We're just going side ways.

For what it's worth, I maintained a crypto canary in LP and it hasn't moved yet. I do think it's worth keeping a canary wallet with some small amount of crypto in any password manager.

Today I learned the term "Dymaxion" and I will endeavor to find ways to use it in my speech and writings from today onwards.

But I think this may be evidence for the argument that scientists should be paired with research software engineers who take the science codes and turn them into usuable libraries. Scientists don't necessarily need to produce codes that others use, simply ideas that can be translated into useful libraries. Certainly some scientists can do this themselves, but not all can nor should be expected to.

IMO this is tone-deaf. If customers want to talk to a human then a human is needed.
What you said is all true. The part that is controversial to me about what you said is that these expectations didn't exist even moreso in times past.

My reading of the past, certainly the modern past where we have literature of the time, TV shows of the era, advertising and so on, is that roles-based expectations were even MORE extreme decades and centuries ago.

As I write this I begin to think, maybe one problem is the opposite: the lack of strict guidance and those guardrails have lead to more existential angst. Who am I, what am I to do, is more salient in these times perhaps.
I haven't found that in Elixir... I often find one of two that haven't been updated in a couple of years but still work just fine because the Elixir language itself doesn't change much.

It may depend on what types of libs you're looking for, of course. It's definitely missing a lot of stuff.
This is immediately what I thought of. If your set is small enough you should be able to store them in a linear block of memory which can fit into L1 cache.

Yeah, my first thought was that this was a job for a trie. You can inspect your input character by character, and you can rule out most strings by the first byte since it must be h, f or w. If your set is small and static, you can hard-code the trie and it will be superfast, but a long as you can fail fast when checking each character (so don’t use the default hasher in Rust), you can check for matches quickly and easily.
I agree with the sentiment that you get what you pay for, but there is so much market fluff that most of the time true gems aren't recognized, and 90% of what you see, a true professional in that area would rank, hard down.

That being said, valuable material shouldn't be available for free. You should have to exchange something for it because the author put in work and expertise to make it happen, and they won't be able to provide more or support it with a price tag of free. People have to have some incentive and be able to offset costs.

Algorithms often also control what you see so even lists like this are quickly corrupted. It truly is an 'Anathem' world now.
