"Native" means compiled code (likely C/C++/Rust/Zig) for some.
And it means using platform-specific UI widget for others.

I don't care too much about the UI widget style as long as the implementation is good and responsive. I tend to use app in fullscreen (F11) with minimal chrome and to be honest I kind of like when each app has its own UI style, especially if it can be user-configured with themes.

Apple/macOS users tend to fall in the other category, following the Apple guidance, where all apps should look like they were made by the same company.
What I meant was that there are people who don't run ZFS, but still need backups. So it won't work for everyone.

Even for my own use cases, not every server and system I maintain could use ZFS right away.

Still good to know about the encrypted volume feature. Will be sure to test this next year.
Really, the day the iphone gets a USB-C connector will be a sad day to me. I hate that stupid male connector disguised as a female smd mounted in a board.
Maybe don't focus so much on the static site part, and have a very slightly dynamic site where the majority of your content is just paths that lead to stuff in /static. So rather than trying to bolt a dynamic bit to static hosting, making the simplest site with something like server.js

Tbh, your comment looks like it was authored by an LLM -- what is a "telluric state"?
This is the correct insight. The costs that were going to materials, regulations etc just don't exist with software. So the majority of the money goes to the majority of the inputs which is labor.

I read that, having received a similar recommendation, but after I finished it I had no idea how to translate that into my own job (I do not manage a factory).
Over the past few years, I've been taking driving very seriously in terms of skill development and practice.

One ritual I've started doing is thanking my car after every drive.

For the privilege I'm afforded by being able to drive freely unlike most of the world.

For the car itself for holding up so reliably.

And for the hundred+ years of engineering man hours and passion given to get where we are today.

In any population of drivers, the effort put in saves (literally) countless lives every day. And while things like sturdy bridges and the reliability of tall buildings are obviously important, driving involves flinging your fragile body extremely fast (in comparison to normal movement) while fighting tooth and nail against physics to perform as you want.

It keeps me humble and, as a bonus, makes me care for my car more through maintenance and cleanliness.
Gold doesn't oxydize. AFAIK that is a problem that sometimes affects aluminium based discs, when the polycarbonate seal is defective.

If you want to be really sure of maximal shelf life, you'd use glass instead of polycarbonate as well - the manufacturing technology exists: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-2000-cd-made-f...

But all of that is really not relevant at all for backups because the CD-R dyes will degrade long before the reflective layer. The shelf life of the reflective layer is an issue when talking about pressed discs.
That's true about rights inside the US border, but in context, this thread was talking about non-US citizens in their home countries when said countries are being pressured by the US government.

I could have been clearer there. I can see why you replied as such.
Because gold is incredibly non-reactive?
To me these show what is lacking in ChatGPT. In college (like 12 years ago) we all had to make a text markov chain generator. The result were sentences which were grammatically correct but meaningless and random (He went to the library and saw a golden goat). I sorta feel like like Chat GPT is doing that but with more ability to weight on higher level structure and weight on patterns in outside text. But these obviously are not real recipes and wouldnt work in real life. There's still not logic. It just seems like like better markov chain text generation.
In that situation, I would just pay for it (and have in the past). If it was one of those nightmare bills you hear about sometimes, I would simply extend my working years by +1 or whatever to even things out. Or, maybe I'd just pretend I lost it in a market downturn and move on with life.
This is also my general hope for lite.

- Configs in lite are all done in lua files, and there are two files that you can edit without ever having to create a plugin that are automatically loaded by the editor: your system wide user config (a lua file), and a project file (.lite_project). Both of these can bind keys, create buttons, add functions, and whatever you like, really.

- Fuzzy finding we can do, but it's not great. We're doing some work on this, but at the moment, we'll probably disappoint you.

- We should start pretty instantaneously on a vanilla config, though for large directory trees, there's an architectural issue that does make us take a bit longer, that hopefully will be resolved in a release or two. So if you have a smaller directory tree, then lite should be pretty quick; if it's large, perhaps hold off looking at it.

- lite offers fully portable releases, and infact, I have an all-in-one build that bundles everything into a single, mostly statically linked executable; it's generally very flexible about how things are deployed.

We tend to add almost all extra functionality via plugins; so if you don't want a particular feature, you can simply remove the plugin, and be done with it.
I haven't used it but there is :make which works with a Makefile.

You're also appealing to the authority of a guy that didn't deliver much in 4 years and then just left the company. Then after he leaves Tesla brings back the radars lol, but that's definitely a coincidence, right? Because he's Andrek Karpathy, and he was definitely not wrong about that, at all.

You could make criticisms of nearly any law if the bar for criticism is just that it's possible to push edge case X or Y. I think it's far more important and relevant to establish whether edge case X or Y is occurring with regularity.

There are abuses of every law from time to time - and sometimes with concerning regularity. I don't see any evidence being put forward in the present article that the alleged potential abuses of the MAiD legislation are widespread.
Choosing to die will never a "nice" death

Do you think the authorities actions are a result of intentional malice/dishonesty or incompetence?

Be careful because this the playbook of how these influencers draw people into the echo chamber. Slowly breed mistrust in anything and everything mainstream, encouraging you to think critically. Once there is a level of mistrust in everything, they feed you sources they want you to believe, "don't believe these guys, I've shown you the light, now believe me"

It also serves to alienate the person from friends/family/casual discussion, driving them further towards the chat groups and sites
"Some of which" isn't the same as "all of them", and none of those three categories exclude being an islamist. I get that it's a serious case of recklessness, but the reactions here are too alarmist.
i feel as though the port in the phone is male, and the cord side is female, since the part that actually "mates" goes into the cord, not the other way around.

when i started typing this i had a coaxial cable in mind as an example of "looks like female but isn't", although UHF/F come close. the "male threaded" part is not the male connector.
I strongly dislike (and am terrible at) linear algebra and probability theory. Calculus seems fun though. And we all probably use Boolean algebra daily at our jobs, if unintentionally.

We should make a browser extension that encapsulates all this advice. Or at least the ones relevant to the way you use the web.

Whether intentional or not, the system is really good at keeping poor people poor and stuck, and rich people richer and mobile. It is anti-human.

Some metaphors of demon-lords with hordes of indentured servants come to mind. The servants bound in fiery chains mucking through tar, and the demon-lords flying around with fiery wings between castles.

Won’t take many more steps for that imagery to be real. It would seem making money our collective master may have had some unintended consequences.
You're not wrong. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
I know the sibling suggested a toothpick, but everything besides a needle has been too large and too week in my experience. There's nothing important at the bottom of the port so just jam it in there and scrape around until you can get a bunch of lint out. You will be surprised what you find.
I'm sure the Quest 2 link cable is theoretically capable of that. However, given that the standard is such a mess, there's a decent probability that the display, computer, or cable won't trust another component and thus fall back to something much slower. It's also kind of hilarious that the Quest 2 needs a separate USB-C cable from the included USB-C charger to actually talk with a computer.
have you checked to make sure you're not just stuck in the plot of a Home Alone movie?
For a while, I've been using a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter to connect my MagSafe charger to various old-school USB wall chargers. Somewhat surprisingly, this works perfectly; the charging speed is probably slower but I haven't noticed.

That said, I'm guessing this violates some specification or other. Ah, well, no explosions yet.
The reason software engineers make more money than other engineers is quite simple. Software scales a lot better than hardware, so a lot more money can be made with it. Thus more business are built on it, thus demand for those who can build software, thus higher pay.

That software engineers be pampered or not is a result of demand being high for the skills. In the long term, it's not a matter of industry culture (as this wouldn't survive financial pressure under stress) but really a simple result of relative rarity in the face of excessive demand.
...for the lolz.

Just because the USA military pilots were laughing uproariously at the death struggles of their innocent victims, let's not assume that those murders were not exactly according to orders approved all the way up the chain of command.

Sure, FBI are incompetent and evil: most breathing, conscious people know that. TFA is more noteworthy for the eagerness with which even the enlightened coding gods at billion-dollar social media firms fulfill FBI's every idle wish.
Of these, I think the only one that can work solely because of an overly "flexible in what you receive" is the USB condoms, which shouldn't be encouraged in the first place. Specifically, that people wanted to charge at more than 100mA without doing real negotiation, so they ignored official USB specs came up with a variety of static or simpler negotiations that could be mimicked.

The un-negotiated 20V power input is a WTF and I've never seen that before, but the typical behavior from a port not expecting that is getting fried so it's not like anyone else is being overly liberal.

The extension cable works because basically all physical connections from the last 30 years or so are designed to still try to work at a degraded level with subpar signal integrity, because the world is analogue and you can't have a 100% perfect signal. The sometimes missing pins can't be required without breaking compatibility with pre-C ports that don't have them. Likewise, the male-A to female-C adapter can't really be distinguished from a male-A to male-C cable, so you can't prevent it from working without also blocking those cables.

IMO the real issue is the USB-IF stubbornly refusing to allow any legit versions of an extension cable (or I guess male-A to female-C) with active circuitry to make them reliable/safe. A hub allows male-A to male-A connections and length extension after all...
"The customs service said it will still ban the import of child-like sex dolls or others embodying certain people. It said other countries like the United States, Australia and the U.K. also ban child-like sex dolls."

I don't agree with this wrinkle. Just as flavored nicotine vapes are a danger to children, but a godsend for people trying to quit cigarettes.. if someone is afflicted with pedophile desires, why not allow them a safe outlet that does no harm to actual children?
Considering that 9/11 was in part a Saudi kingdom operation, I’m not convinced having more US-Saudi cooperation would have helped

SWA has been telling affected passengers to keep their receipts for reimbursement later, so hopefully once things clear up, they will go beyond the letter of their policy to help make things right with their customers. No guarantees, but also not many options otherwise for those of us affected.

Their brand is going to need it, so whatever that cost is will probably be worth it for them.
It's a complete misunderstanding of what's being said.
A search of "voice messaging culture in asia" surfaces quite a few articles on the subject. But the gist is that vast majority of your every day communication with someone is going to be an exchange of short voice messages rather than text messages, both in work and personal context. This includes planning to meet someone, ordering food, "catching up", discussing a meeting, etc.

Receiving a long text would not be necessarily rude, but unusual.

> All kinds of cars crash, all the time

The article is more about the fact that Autopilot crashed the car. Autopilot and Tesla's supposed Full Self-Driving have been massively oversold by Tesla over the years. People believe the hype more than the reality and put themselves in dangerous situations as a consequence.

> And surely by now, there's a general awareness that neither Tesla nor any other car has reliable full self driving.

Not really. Owners overestimate what these systems can do. Too many think full self-driving means full self-driving:

This is the process described in the article. (Edit: the article even directly addresses this, with the suggestion, you can believe it or not, that this is intended to prevent microplastics generated from abrasion) I suppose you would still have to worry about, for example, what happens when you replace the road and recycle that asphalt - the asphalt with plastic admixture gets mixed into the whole batch and remelted. Assuming you kept track of which are the plastic roads you could still use the recycled asphalt (with more plastic waste?) as the base and use a layer of new asphalt on top, etc.

It may be that recycling your plastic is fully useless or even harmful, but there are municipalities where plastic in the recycled waste stream does get reprocessed into new products, and as one of the sibling comments notes, burying waste in a landfill isn't the obviously better solution either. It's also fine to have ire for the people who push plastic recycling for consumers without ensuring plastic waste gets into a stream where it's responsibly reprocessed. I'm sure there are some less-than-circumspect environmentalists who are responsible for this, but there are plenty of others, including politicians and industrialists who push recycling as a way to avoid reducing plastic consumption or to use still more single-use plastic items.
Quantum mechanics has wave function collapse, which is both essential in applying the theory to explain any physical situation, and at the same time not described by the theory. Other than "and then it collapses".

Classical theories don't have this problem.

Humans have reasoning, AI has zero aggressive instinct and instant reaction time. It could be a pretty even battle.

They might make really bad decisions in edge cases(Which will get less and less common as more cars get smart), but they might make up for it with perfect behavior in ordinary circumstances.

They will never prioritize convenience or speed or avoiding angering other people over safety. They'll do the safe thing even if no human driver could maintain that level of paranoia at all times.
The best software engineers I have ever worked with have come from disciplines with different math focus: math, physics, physical engineering fields (mechanical, civil, etc.). Discrete math, the kind employed in CS curricula, is good for the theoretical discipline but in the vast majority of practical cases it’s sufficient to get by with a kind of CRC cheat sheet of algorithms and their performance characteristics, with corresponding language specific library implementations that someone from CS built.

Although it does help to actually learn the underlying theory, too: makes one just that much more capable

The perception of Unix at that time is very interesting — this was way before X existed (X would also not have been suitable by this definition when it did become available, of course). The NeXT UFS variant in 1997 was also probably still unreliable by this definition.

> However UNIX is a relatively large operating system with several features such as a multiuser timesharing capability, user accounting, and protection which would be wasted in a personal computer such as the Lisa. Since the Lisa would be used by people who were not computer experts, the system must be very robust. However, the UNIX file system is fragile and unreliable [10), [14]. If the power is interrupted or a system crash occurs the UNIX file system can easily be damaged. Unless a systems programmer is present to repair the damage, a user can easily lose all his data. In addition, UNIX does not provide the general inter-task communication facility that the Lisa requires. UNIX memory management does not offer sophisticated sharing of code and data between tasks. Finally, UNIX and alI other operating systems do not provide the support for graphics, multiple windows, the mouse, integration, etc., which are essential to the Lisa. Such capabilities cannot be built on top of an operating system but must be built in to work correctly and efficiently. An attempt to modify UNIX to overcome all of these deficiencies would have taken longer than designing a new operating system with all of the needed capabilities.
A few years before that when I was in school we had the MIT fake paper generator (unfortunately no longer maintained). It used context free grammar to generate something similar, linking academic CS terms together to write nonsense conference papers.

You're right, modern language models are the same. They are more polished but still just as stupid. They don't understand anything, they just put a pattern together mechanically.

Personally I like systema like in the article posted here better, because they have a funny "mad-lib" quality instead of the low-quality blog content style of language models. It seems like where the language models can be more funny is in imitating a person's writing style
