That's interesting - did you implement some kind of key exchange or just check for the device ID? And which OS?

I might have exaggerated a bit, probably it's pretty easy to do in a "works on my machine" kind of way...

> In 1758 he fought at Hochkirch (14 October) and Zorndorf (24 August). In the latter action, he was given command of the cavalry on the left wing. He refused to obey the initial orders given to him by Frederick and awaited what he considered to be the proper moment to launch a cavalry charge against the advancing Russians. He quickly routed the enemy cavalry; he then rallied and charged the Russian infantry, but failed to break it.

> He rallied his cavalry behind Zorndorf, waiting for a better moment to attack. Just when all seemed lost for the Prussians, Seydlitz led 61 squadrons against the Russian cavalry, pushing it back into the marshes by the village of Quartschen. He then returned to rescue the Prussian infantry, forcing the Russians to fall back.

Ok, how robust is it? Can you power-off the machine in the process?
Bitcoin doesn't need banks. That's the whole point.
There is a sense in which the person/people who select the training data for a model are the artist. Or at least, a sense in which they can be an artist (models that just train on as much data as possible don't fit).
Depends who's paying. 15-30% (or more, if compared to Threadrippers) faster compile times or simulation runs can be a real quality of life improvement in many cases, especially if your employer is paying for it.
An overwhelming majority of Federal cases don't involve a jury and instead consist of:

1. A scaling army of prosecutors and "professional witnesses" which are compensated/promoted based on conviction rate.

2. A single "freely" provided and extremely overworked defense attorney with three times the caseload of the prosecutor and where every bit of help they give out takes from the time of the other defendants they "defend."

3. As a result of 1&2 you are pressured to sign a plea and threatened with triple and quadruple punishments for the same activities. All while being stuck in a cell (why else would you need a free attorney)? And we are not talking the difference of 3 months and a year. Instead we are talking about the difference of 5 years and 20 years.

4. The result is an overwhelming number of factually innocent people in prison for crimes they never committed. From people who sat down and said, what happens if it goes wrong vs what happens when I do 5 years of adult daycare?

So yes, any kind of AI is likely to improve the situation as the situation is currently completely unacceptable to anyone who has seen a family member go through it.

If setup properly, they'll follow what Recaptcha done in the early days and use multiple sources and use the common answer rather than relying on a single source.

The only issues is that if people know this, they could simply flood the internet etc with fake information and if used, it could skew the results.

Recaptcha suffered from this in the early days when people found the first word was the control (known) word and the second was the word they wanted to convert to text.

People then started putting the same offensive word in for the second word, which was accepted and is likely to have affected the results.
Ha ha, love this. Ofcourse what we might call "higher" brain functionality is not uniformly distributed as realized capabilities, being a obscure mix of innate hardwiring and education. But it would be extremely odd if it wasn't quite uniformly available to all fully functioning brains in a qualitative and in-principle manner.

Which begs the question: why would individuals intentionally diminish the own status when there is nothing much objective to support it?

I guess it is for them to answer this, but what I would volunteer as a possibility is the enormous power of collective mental models / narratives. By adopting the "brain is a computer" narrative you become member (or aspired to become) of a certain social group that, incidentally, has been "winning" in a certain socio-economic context.
For a long time in the UK almost all internet providers used BT Openreach's[1] infrastructure, except for Virgin.

[1]
BT Openreach - which all the internet providers except Virgin use.
- This goes back to BT and before it was privatized, the post office.

[2]
Virgin, took over Nynex infrastructure and put in fibre optic cables.
Unfortunately, Virgin has some pretty bad caps.

I had pretty bad down speed in London on copper cables, but my provider, Zen Internet uses the FritzBox router - it had good enough diagnostics to tell me there was a problem between the router and the box on the street, eventually got an engineer to come out and I got 70Mbit down and about 20mbit up.

Since I moved to a different road in London, everything is fibre, I could get 1gbit, but I got the 100mbit plan which works out about not so different from my previous plan in practice.
> Windows and Mac dominate the world's computer systems, and the development tools for those environments are English-centric. The translations are lacking or no existent. The struggle of a Japanese developer to make an app is greater than that of a primarily English-speaking developer.

The lack of translations is true for almost every country and culture apart from the natively English-speaking ones. Some western languages such as German or French might get more in terms of translated (or natively written) documentation and teaching materials but many smaller ones have next to none. I've also seen software development materials with translations to Japanese or Chinese and nothing else (beside English).

I can't remember the last time I read any software development material or used software development tools in my native language.

There may still be some cultural differences that could lead to there being more or less of a language barrier, of course. Other languages may be closer to English, at least in terms of the writing system. In some cultures people might be less inclined to learn English as a second language well enough to be comfortable than in other cultures. Japan, having a large economy with a large domestic market as well as a strong language identity and a relatively homogeneous culture, might be one of those. (I seem to remember that, anecdotally, some highly educated Japanese people I met in the past were surprisingly uncomfortable speaking English, but I'm not sure how much of that was due to actual skill and how much it was about confidence or a lack of experience.)

But the anglocentrism of development tools and culture alone isn't enough to explain a difference between Japan and many other countries.
> It seems to me like the selling point of this tool is that it is language agnostic

How is having to use Python different from having to use the Justfile language?
That was my point, you don't really know the character set used, you only know the characters used. It is reasonable to assume that the characters of »cat« were drawn from the set of lowercase letters but for all you know they could have been drawn from a set of three letters and to err on the side of caution you probably should assume it was indeed drawn from the set of three letters. And of course, password crackers can do a lot more than simply brute force through all possible character sequences, which just underlines my point that calculating the entropy or maybe better the resistance against password crackers is non-trivial. But as others have pointed out, there are are existing implementations like zxcvbn and you do not have to solve this problem from scratch.
That's very interesting that you ramp up the personal marketing via your website when searching but bring it down again afterwards. I think that's a really good approach. My instinct is that this would reduce the chances that people would see your website and come to you with potentially more interesting or aligned work but in my 15 years with my website up and running I think this has happened to me so little that it's not worth worrying about.

Nice article.

Success in photography comes from figuring out what sort of story you want to tell, and (obviously) getting out there and getting that story on film (or digital :)

Equipment's just the tool, and sometimes simplifying there lets the mind concentrate more on the important stuff.
Too bad we have very little data on meaning.
Some of them, sure.

But 50 out of 180? That's systemic fraud.
Bitcoin doesn't, bitcoin investors do. And until you can pay your Snickers at a grocery store with bitcoin, that won't change.
Yes. I guess a few years of this was more than even the NIMBYs could take. It's now owned by some capital group seeking to build housing there, but new NIMBYs will come to the fore to block it, and the combo of declining SF real estate prices and rising interest rates may well make the project unviable, since a developer has to pay interest for a decade or more while stalling tactics delay approval.
I don't think that this counts as a third party ... given that it runs locally. Lawyers make use of laptops all the time in the courtroom.
I applied and got a job at a faang due to frustration with my old job.

At my old job, the manager of my manager still wanted to keep his hands on the infrastructure, but his background was in software engineering and the effect was that a) the limitations of the infrastructure closely matched the limitations in understanding of that person and b) me and other coworkers were frustrated because most ideas for improvement would get rejected for no real reason (just bullshit managerial reasons).

I’m half regretting my decision though, because now in faangland you supposedly can fix stuff around but the workload is so intense and the pace so fast that effectively I can’t take the time to analyse interesting problems and design a solution.

When my employer asks me to "publish", "have a presence" or "shine for the company" in any way I find the NDA, security rules and legalese I've signed and reply

1. This is against cybersecurity rules, can you sign me a paper stating you want me to break rule #37 and rule #61

2. Then I ask him to accept all the end-user agreements in the company name or its own personal name, and send me back the login+password so I can contribute daily BS - oh and buy me a company owned phone if such interactions involve using a MobileApp(tm), no way I'm mixing personal and work on my phone

The discussion stopped here, never got a reply, did this to 3 employers already
I got one (ISOMED) in Belgrade for ~850 euros from a relatively prominent dentist. A lot of dentists here have patients from all over the Europe - it make sense if you're going to fix several teeth.
This is a complete BS, currently I'm in a country with very unstable currency that lost so much value during the last 2 crypto booms(2017, 2021) and I know what actually happened on the ground.

Crypto adoption is indeed high, much more than the western world but people are not in it to protect themselves from a volatile exchange rates but because they are desperate for a side hustle to make the ends meet. Those who are interested in preserving value simply buy USD, EUR or gold.

The "unbanked" concept is also complete BS, in those 3.rd world countries the banking systems and the fintech infrastructure is much more advanced than the ones in the west. There are indeed millions of "unbanked" people but they are unbanked due to political reasons and as a result they use alternatives payment processors which are not banks(or just use cash). When Europe was introduced to easy to use mobile banking with things like Monzo or Revolut and USA was adopting contactless payments or Chip&Pin these were already the norm. Before the iPhone&Android proliferation, people were able to do much of this stuff through the ATMs and payments systems integrated with the SIM cards. People from 3rd world visiting EU or the USA are often shocked when see how primitive retail banking and payment systems are.

I guess the rhetoric of "banking the unbanked in the poor countries" comes from the idea that "if we the rich have so many troubles with payments, surely it must be much worse in the poor countries". I assure you, this is not the case, the west is the one with primitive fintech.

The value of crypto came from the ability to speculate. Everyone younger than 30 was in it and some people made good money. These days everyone is in the stock market, anyone can buy and sell stocks from their banking app and all taxes and fees are handled so its easy as buying and selling candies.
The use case for this sort of thing I like best is extending objects without touching the object.

E.g. in D to convert between different types you can use std.conv:

import std.conv;

"123".to!int;
123.to!string;

Ints don't need to understand string building and strings don't need to understand int parsing. The conversion code just needs to declare a couple functions taking the right arguments and it just works. To me the above is much more readable than

to!int("123")
to!string(123)

in any case. It's also quite nice when dealing with C APIs since it allows you to pretend they are OOP in quite a lot of cases. e.g. with SDL:

SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);

turns into

window.SDL_CreateRenderer(-1, 0);

and say I'd like to have a function to initialize all the renderer stuff in one go? I can simply declare

void CreateRendererAndInitialize(SDL_Window* window){<snip>}

and now you can do the following:

window.CreateRendererAndInitialize();

It removes a lot of pain from extending 3rd party types you see in other languages.
The point of my comment is that some chargers will melt or catch on fire even if you are pulling "as much as it can handle without voltage drop".
It's really a shame on many axis:

- what about the hippocratic oath ?

- how come there are so many errors ? where are quality checks in this field ?

- how come this is not regulated business wise ? dental care costs a lot, it puts people in dire situations

are we waiting from a uber teeth to force these people to work properly ?
So you make this as understood as possible and the lawyer can fill in the gaps and clarify.

It's not like a "jailhouse lawyer" will do any better. Though it might cost something you didn't expect, such as a new witness against you or a shower pal.
Maybe off-topic, but I'm hoping in the future we stop burying people. It seems such a waste of land IMHO
Interesting. Personally I find Rust-only pretty appealing, but people definitely have differing opinions: https://github.com/makspll/bevy_mod_scripting
> Yeah, Google is absolutely unique at this point in building an OS they can't actually update, and placing the blame for it on hardware manufacturers instead. Nobody else has this problem. Including ARM-based platforms.

No, it absolutely isn't. Linus also can't push updates to your Linux computer but it has to wait for distributions to pick up the changes and distribute them. Same as Google has to wait for OEMs.

Don't make stuff up.

Google also got fined in both EU and India for forcing OEMs into doing things with Android, so the governments and law themselves do not allow them to force updates.
You're not paying for the traffic load though, Microsoft does. I think it's unfair to compare a forge run by a giant and one run by a tiny company, or for that matter, self hosting users.
Isn’t Windows NT the next generation of VMS ( rather than the other way around )?

That would go against the Unix philosophy.
Can you give an example of what you’d consider “simple investments where the value is obvious” and where “a simpleton like all of us can guess if the price matches the underlying value”?

I’m genuinely curious.
You probably don't even need escalating fines. Just having police stop to warn/ticket the drivers would be enough to throw drivers way behind schedule. The costs of constantly having to hire/train replacements for all the drivers not meeting their crazy metrics would be costly enough for amazon that they'd probably start looking for better options, but I'll admit that would have a much larger cost on the employees when its the employer we want to punish.

>Samples are rapidly frozen to protect them from radiation damage.

Isn't this wrong? They are rapidly frozen so the water vitrifies and permits transmission of the electron beam. The samples still get damaged by the what is basically beta radiation.
> - If I want to join a new company, a technical blog or active developer advocates help me decide. I can get a sense of a company culture through what they chose to post and whom they hire for their advocate roles.

Working with some of these over the last forever.. I don't in any way believe they share anything about the company culture, or frankly the correct usage of the company's technology as it wants.

I very much see this as people who want to be fully-time developers, but aren't currently. Across orgs - I have yet to see this not be true, but maybe it's just me, and the others with whom I discuss this. Echo champers are very much a thing.
Every bad thing has positive aspects just as every good thing also has negative ones.

For now I'm against cryptocurrencies because every plus I've seen is outweighed by the con (pun intended).

And this is actually the second time in a cryptocurrency topic that I ask this and nobody answers.

Let's say I'm in Extremistan or Extremistia. How do I use cryptocurrency? Is it just a store of value? Can I use it for payments?

I want a guide, I'm new to this. How do I use it?
This has been a game changer for us. When our analysts run queries on parquets using Arrow they are orders of magnitude faster than equivalent SQL queries on databases.
Flat bottom cast iron woks work very well on induction stoves. I can get it to wokking temperatures in minutes, which would take practically forever on any reasonably sized gas stove.
Humanity isn’t ready because we can’t build perfect code yet. Once crypto isn’t incentivizing nation state actors from working on $50M bug bounties, maybe we will be ready…
It's a 4.5 bed detached; solid walls, suspended floor, large bay windows, some of the double glazing is shot, hard wood floor downstairs, high ceilings, some of the radiators are too small or too oldz some of the piping is too small and not insulated and runs under the house where it's extra cold.

Yes this all needs fixing, yes we working on it, but we only moved in a few months ago, it takes time, and money.

The ~£800 is just for gas and just for heating and that's without having it on enough to be warm most of the time.

When the children aren't home we just use an electric heater in two rooms; we both work from home in our own office spaces.
*gender, as sex is private and doesn't concern who is not participating on it :D

I understand the good faith and how nice the code is. I don't think it is useful nowadays where gender should be an open box and not used to anything else but respect the nouns and associated info that the person wants to be used.
IMO the Japanese failed at Software Development because they never thought of it as distinct/different from and more important than Hardware that is used to run it. It requires a certain degree of forward abstract thinking which they unfortunately missed. They then compounded this mistake by staying on it for decades.

As an example, in the late 90's i was part of a group developing a Office Software Suite for a Japanese Company. The specification they gave us was very clearly done by some Hardware Engineer who had just learned OOD/OOP. All classes were named like hardware part nos. eg. MDK_C1001, MDK_C1002 etc. All methods were declared pure virtual in C++. We had to convince them to throw out their specifications, sit with us and re-design it together (and implemented using Visual C++/MFC framework).

Support libraries are no.1 cause of envy in iOS community because they make developers life significantly easier while still serving people running older devices.

I've yet to see anyone belittle that like you did.
You're downplaying it a little. By putting it on a robot arm, a lot of new designs/sculptures are now possible that couldn't have been made by older methods.
Don't want to excuse TikTok here, but how all the lawmakers suddenly realize that social media is addictive kind of reminds me of the famous Casablanca scene.

I think you're way over-estimating the impact of this regulation on costs. Every house today is going to be hooked up to the internet, so the only change this mandates is slightly more expensive equipment. When you compare this to the massive costs of land, the massive costs associated with getting planning permission, and the artificial constraint of supply through planning laws, I think we're pretty far away from this regulation adding any substantial costs. On top of that, it's pretty well understood that fast internet will boost economic activity, so it's probably a benefit in exactly the same way insulation would be.
I had to laugh at your first sentence, that incendiary reply is almost comical.
