I think it's really important to protect children from this type of content. I'm not necessarily against these kinds of blocks but I don't think they'll be effective because there will always be extremely easy ways to bypass them (use a VPN, find a website that isn't beholden to US laws, etc etc etc).

IMO the best approach is to ensure parents are technically competent and knowledgeable enough to be able to configure effective parental controls on all of their children's devices that are difficult to circumvent. E.g. iOS already has iCloud Lock which has proven to be difficult to bypass even with bootROM exploits and jailbreaks. Perhaps they should expand this level of protection to parental controls (if it isn't already).
A reasonable point, but I think to start with one should use the service with the lowest friction so that it is not a hassle to actually post things. Once you get some inertia to post regularly you can worry about 'extras'.
There has been pretty significant steady progress for almost the last 10 years, but only recently finally crossed into the realm of broad usefulness. This has driven an influx of people and funding to the field which increases the rate of progress even further.
> Because net metering is forcing the utility to purchase power at the retail rate.

No, it doesn't.

I have solar+battery with net metering. I buy from the electric company at ~11.5c/kWh and sell our excess to them at ~2.7c/kWh for a difference of ~4.3x

As the sole entity that you can sell to - short of regulators being involved - they set the rate. And yes, there's already a monthly connection fee.

If magnets are used to give the correct orientation, why not also have POGO pins or indentations next to the coil?

Case 1) the device only supports wireless charging (say because it's waterproof): business as usual

Case 2) the device also has conductive metal dots: the POGO pins can then charge the device much faster.

Similarly, I assumed from the headline that he had used the AI to help him determine the proof.

As for using AIs as mathematical proof helpers, I threw it the following softball and can't say that mathematicians should be too worried just yet:

>> Please prove that the first decimal digit of pi is 3.

> The value of pi is an irrational number, which means that it has an infinite number of decimal digits that do not repeat in a pattern. It is not possible to prove that any particular decimal digit is the first decimal digit of pi, because the decimal representation of pi is infinite and does not repeat. However, the first few decimal digits of pi are widely accepted to be 3.14, so the first decimal digit of pi is generally assumed to be 3.

> but suspend works well and the laptop starts extremely quickly.

Well... no, since most new laptop manufacturers had removed the S3 state (classic suspend to RAM) because Microsoft said that today they have to go with "Modern standby" that basically is leave the system on at a lower power settings. Beside that it doesn't work and will overheat your laptop if placed in a bag... and unfortunately since it is removed from the UEFI Linux can't do too much to put it back.
> If you're forging warrants, you are abdicating the responsibilities of your station.

Those are strong words, and I fully agree with them.

Prosecutors enjoy a nearly unqualified immunity, so long as they are doing their job they cannot be sued in civil court. However, forging documents is abjectly NOT part of a prosecutors jobs, mainly because it's illegal, but also highly immoral and unethical irrespective of law... in violation of Federal rules of procedure.

First of all: so what? People still have a right to decide whether or not to do a surgery regardless of whether a "specialist" recommends it. Prisoners still have rights.

Second of all: That was the reason according to the PR folks for the successor company to the private medical company that did this. Companies that are answerable to the prison. A PR person who also said "any decision to induce is solely the patient’s choice" which was clearly not the case here. Even if it is true, that specialist is following policies and priorities of the prison and company.
IBS can stress you out.
Hardware manufacturers actually have to deal with this issue these days.

An awful lot of chip fabrication is done via stochastic / heuristic / monte carlo methods for any large chip; rather than exhaustively laying out the whole chip by hand, hardware devs describe the chip in a constraints language and feed it to a fabrication program (often with some additional parameters like "optimize speed" or "minimize power consumption / heat generation"). Then the program outputs the chip schematic to be fabricated.

Unless you save the random seed at every step, it's entirely possible to end up with the problem that you have a schematic, but if you lose it you'll never get the program to fabricate exactly that schematic again (because hundreds or thousands of precise schematics solve the problem well enough to terminate the monte carlo search).
with your c and python background, I'd suggest just using go standard library with no dependencies.

It's actually pretty easy, and a fair few people do. Uniswap v3 currently has a 24h trading volume of $317,196,156, and the app is trivial to use. Curve's app is ugly but not hard to use, and has a 24h trading volume of $199,693,574. Maybe you think those numbers aren't all that impressive, and sure, I'd like the decentralised trading venues to be doing more, but it's a far cry from 'nobody'.

There's a lot of religious things written down that many people don't really follow in practice. Are there various religious views that don't view women as I would like to? Sure. But it's quite a leap to "literally brainwashed from birth that women's purpose is to be docile broodmares".

And quite a few religious women want to be house-makers. Do I personally think that's a rather outdated view of what it means to be a woman? Sure. But it's not my life to live and the women's choice. Let's assign some agency to these women and allow them to live their lives as they see fit before claiming they're "brainwashed". "Being able to make my own choices just like men" is kind of the point of feminism, no?

I think maybe there is no "clear headed and rational view" of reality in truth.

There is only perspective, which somehow relates to a thing we like to call "reality" but the relationship is tenuous at best and doesn't always directly correspond.

Understanding the role of perspective I believe can be valuable. Sometimes maybe a shakeup helps to understand perspective is just that, or otherwise produce a different way of looking at things.

Until then we'll keep witnessing all sorts of distorsions and crashes.
Great insights. Curious about your result on my personality test: https://eristicstest.com/

Disagreeable people often have an over-the-top people-pleaser side because they're bad at agreeability. For them it's usually a choice of being a doormat or a jerk.

When people are bad at agreeability in this way, but still agreeable, nobody is in a rush to correct them. Nobody threatens to quit over the doormat. But it's the exact same personality flaw, just expressed differently in Big Five terms.
How about 2 erlang OTP nodes (homogenous)? I don't have a real world use case of that load but I often imagine I would have 1:2 RAM ratio to be able to vertical scale each time. For example, start with 1TB(A):2TB(B), if that's not enough, scale A to 4TB. When load climbs start to exceeds, scale B to 8TB .. so on alternately.
I came here to say exactly that.

However, in one sense of the word, we do owe a lot of the modern tech stack to ATT. Between their invention of transistors, and their invention of UNIX, they do form the basis of the modern tech stack that all these inventions depend on.

I wonder to what degree these complex problems are self inflicted due to more than a decade of flipflopping between a myriad packaging and environment management solution. In such an environment, you are bound to have so many different approaches between important projects that trying to bring them all under one umbrella becomes next to impossible. What is a python package is relatively well defined, but how you build one is completely up to you.

Edit: I've just read another comment which I think pointed out the most pertinent fact - that python has often served as mere glue code for stuff written in lower level languages. This then results in an explosion of complexity as a python package not only has to package the python part, but has to be able to build and package the lower level stuff.
I have trouble believing someone could never end up starting as an ass, and end up been agreeable. I've known too many people who have moderated over the course of their lives. However, everyone who even tries to stand up to anyone else risks being an ass, so everyone with a backbone probably will be at some point.

> It sounds like creating problem, then spending time=money on fixing it and calling it a win?

It sort of is.

It's not a perfect world. One issue with monoliths is that, organizations like to take a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude towards things. Unfortunately, that leads to spotty service and sometimes expensive deployments. Those aren't always seen as being "broken" but just temporary problems that if you pull enough all nighters you can get through regularly.

It takes a skilled dev to be able to really sell a business on improving monoliths with rework/rewrites of old apis. Even if it saves money, time, all nighters. It's simply hard for a manager to see those improvements as being worth it over the status quo. Especially if the fact of running the monolith on big iron masks the resource usage/outages caused by those APIs.
normally you can choose the model version so that's not a concern.

I agree with many here that this is heavy-handed, but my experience suggests that the symptom it's treating is very real- once a recurring meeting is created it never really goes away (in my experience sometimes it does if the meeting owner leaves the company or moves to a different job function).

So I like the idea of throwing all meetings into the "konmari" method of tidying, where you completely empty your closets and then decide what should be kept, rather than trying to pick out which things should be discarded.
Timing on this is confusing. Article was written in 2020 about a paper published in 2003 or so about the design of lua 5.0.

It's still a really insightful and approachable paper that's worth reading, and it does still help understand the constraints and approach of lua. But the current "old" version of the language is 5.2 released in 2011, and there have been a couple major versions after that as well.

So some of it may not actually be applicable to using lua now, depending on what your "now" looks like.
> most companies will never experience the level of scale of 2013 Twitter

I fully agree with your argument. Then again, as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, microservices are often not introduced to solve a scalability problem but an organizational one and there are many organizations that have more engineers than Twitter (had).

Personally, I still don't buy that argument because by solving one organizational problem one risks creating a different one, as this blog post[0] illustrates:

> […] Uber has grown to around 2,200 critical microservices

Unsurprisingly, that same post notes that

> […] in recent years people have begun to decry microservices for their tendency to greatly increase complexity, sometimes making even trivial features difficult to build. […] we experienced these tradeoffs first hand

I'm getting very strong Wingman/Galactus[1] vibes here.

@dang's link to the June 2010 comments[1] tells the story:

> Bell Labs was upset because AT&T made those commercials without consulting us. A PR company thought up all the ideas. We had zero projects internally working on such products.

So the PR firm (probably just a single person at the firm) was obviously quite visionary. I wonder who that person was and if they ever surfaced at another company that was actually able to bring some of these ideas forward.

It could just be like writing science fiction, and those ideas felt so futuristic that they weren't expected to actually come to pass. But man, give credit to those ideas, because almost all of them came true pretty close to the ad's depiction.

It's one thing to write science fiction that is so outlandish that we know it's not even likely in our life spans (Star Trek, etc.). But it's quite another thing to write some sort of "fiction" that is just right on the boundary of plausible and achievable within a decade or two.

Those people that can see 10-20 years in the future, they're the ones I'm jealous of. That's a talent that I just don't have.

Well no, that's not true - a bank could issue you with a one-time-pad long enough to encrypt the next 10000 messages with you, and use that over the years - they just need to tell you which line of the key is needed to decrypt your message. In that scenario you only need to guarantee security for the first time the key is distributed(for example a file sent to you when the account is opened).
