> NaN's are already an option type, although implemented in hardware

The compromise with this is that it makes it impossible to represent a non-optional float, which leads to the same issues as null pointers in c++/java/etc.

The impacts of NaN are almost certainly not as bad (in aggregate) as `null`, but it'd still be nice if more languages had ways to guarantee that certain numbers aren't NaN (e.g. with a richer set of number types).
Maybe user/developer support or some services ?
I have seen two extremes of this. The one side is forced conformity, and the other side was complete chaos. To the point where each project was written in its own language. Imagine changing teams to help on a project and step 1 is to learn a new language and deploy methods.

I feel like there is a golden middle where the team has decided on maybe 3 languages, one typed, one scripted, one cutting edge. And a few different deploy scenarios, and you can pick amongst them.
In practice, I've found signalling NaNs to be completely unworkable and gave up on them. The trouble is they eagerly convert to quiet NaNs, too eagerly.

Have you used an induction burner? The only real advantage a gas burner has, as far as I can tell, is being able to just directly roast peppers or whatever over the burner. But in every other way, induction feels like a large improvement, to me. It's way faster to heat up, it's way easier to clean, it's significantly cheaper, doesn't screw up my air quality... feels like a huge advancement.
So a description like dumb or dishonest or ignorant would seem much more accurate and useful.
I think you're conflating two things - positive signaling (i.e., I want a Tesla because I want to be cool) and consumer choice (i.e., I would've bought a Tesla but I don't want to anymore because of how Elon Musk has behaved).
Isn't this a security risk?
right, and i just spun it back to being inline with your reselling complaints. nobody doubled down.
are you able to represent it some place else?
Am I correct in thinking networking (TCP/UDP) is impossible to implement without some kind of WebSocket proxy?

> Having cracked versions out there indicates that your software is both useful and notable

In the vast majority of cases it doesn't mean that.

A lot of cracking is done for sport and to show off, especially when the protection is weak.
I think the concept of NaNs are sound, but I think relying on them is fraught with peril, made so by the unobvious test for NaN-ness in many languages (ie, "if (x != x)"), and the lure of people who want to turn on "fast math" optimizations which do things like assume NaNs aren't possible and then dead-code-eliminate everything that's guarded by an "x != x" test.

Really though, I'm a fan, I just think that we need better means for checking them in legacy languages and we need to entirely do away with "fast math" optimizations.
Not a fan of this model - it's a race to the bottom that devalues games and trains game audiences to be impatient and fickle.

> that's nearly $200k in developer costs spent replacing a tool that's gonna cost your 250 person company $30k/year.

the 250 person companies are not building the replacement, the 2k+ ones will. And likely ones that fit their internal architecture better so there are productivity gains to be had on top of that

We've wondered if this might have been a factor for our son. Wife and I were 35 when we had him, and he's severely autistic and has Leukemia.

Research says that incidences of both rise as the age of parents does, but it's not something heavily studied at this time. His oncologist said at least partially because they already deal with parents blaming themselves enough.
How do you find and apply for jobs like this.

Bug hunting mercenary would be my ideal job. Not sure how to find jobs that have that need.
A very common usage for /dev/mem is to access a device through memory mapped IO from user space.

Cacheable accesses would break that use case.
Two people at my old company got fired for time theft. though in that case the story was it was one person using the others badge to make it look like they both went in for overtime when only one showed up. They'd alternate doing this.

Timecards where serious business where I worked as they billed based on them. Though to be fair they never monitored us once we were at work. I don't think they even checked our badge in/out times vs our timecards, which we manually entered. I remember the "we have a gym, we want you healthy, but you use the gym on your own time" email.
It's freaking awesome is what it is.

Paying extra[0] helps build and maintain the expensive roads - had I mentioned roads are very expensive? Why should autonomous vehicle be rewarded? To be very clear, I think they ought to be 'punished' due to the risks they present to others (read the fine article).

I like tofu and seitan and tvp, but my stomach has some limits on it's ability to process them. I really appreciate what vietnamese cuisine can do to imitate meat, but in general I find it best to not try and to let the ingredient do it's thing.

I know I'm talking about meat in this thread, and sourcing it, but just wanna also acknowledge that reducing intake of it, and making sure it's good is the strategy I think is best and scalable. Seems to be some consensus forming around it too.
No need to presume; the ITU-T standards are surprisingly readable!

https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.22-198811-I

For this older standard (1200 bps using FSK modulation) it does indeed use separate bands (from section 6.1):

On the general switched telephone network, the modem at the calling data station shall transmit in the low channel and receive in the high channel (call mode). The modem at the answering data station shall receive in the low channel and transmit in the high channel (answer mode).

The newer modem standards are far more sophisticated and I don't know anything about them. I picked this one because I had been working with V.22 in the past year.
Yes! But only Garmin so far (working on Polar now).
You need to set up an account and than link your Garmin account in the profile.

Here's the catch: Garmin only allows syncing of future activities. I can't access your past activities from your Garmin account. There's a way around it though: https://cubetrek.com/static/bulkdownload.html

Corporate.

Though if my memory servers me right one time I bought it for a staff of the site which has.. quite dubious legal position by hosting the abandonware. Of course it was technically a breach of contract because there were multiple people who could use it, it was still one legal license more.
There are plenty of non-technical people who have made my life happier. The more effective managers and business consultants/owners find a way of making my life easier by avoiding road blocks and taking on work that I didn't want to do anyways. The more frustrating ones would find arbitrary limits to my ability to produce or micro-manage.

This isn't an everyone problem, this is an acute number of people who made production harder. By its nature, truly incompetent employees are eventually weeded out (assuming you're not in a dinosaur bureaucracy). If you're constantly finding that you're unable to work with the nontechnical side of your companies, you should start to question if you're part of this problem.
I could imagine this could get worse. Incompetent CTO who likes a broken language and buy all the hype shit. This is how our job market is rotten.

What does it mean "WebKit peak 49% market share" in 2012. That doesn't pass the sniff test. AFAIK, Safari never had a big install based on Windows and MacOS+iOS certainly didn't account for 49% of web traffic in 2012
I don’t see anybody criticising those aspects, though. When people criticise the science or the plot or the characterisation, why not take them at their word?
I do it the "go" way, with:

type Result<K = any, T extends Error = Error> = [K, null] | [null, T];

> "Customer collaboration over contract negotiation"

The distinction is more about how granular you need things. Do you need to negotiate every piece of business-logic and get signoffs on mockups up-front, and in the case of paying customer, rather than internal stakeholder potentially including placing them into a legal SOW? Or can you just agree to a bullet-list of high level functionality, and then establish a working arrangement to receive feedback and refinement. Build and MVP and get some use, then make it better. Likely the initial understanding of the requirements was flawed anyway, so being reactive to the change, with buy-in from the customer will be a better plan for success. But yeah, this might not work with physical products.
For me, it's a lot of things.

- It's about trust. I pay once, and I get to "keep" it for as long as I want. Same reason I will never buy anything that is web/cloud based. I like paying once and getting a binary file that I can keep on my hard disk. I see plenty of serious photographers using Photoshop CS6, and some even Photoshop 7.0. I would like to own the file.

- Company might just increase subscriptions price in the future. With one-time pay, that's not a problem.

- A lot of companies just set subscription prices by converting from Dollar/Euro. That doesn’t make sende where I live. The ideal way would be take the Purchase-Power-Parity into account.
> That is the kernel bug tracker, not the distributions bug tracker.

The point is that the contributors reasoning for being on the tree is irrelevant. Like you said, they just made it EOL

Distributions are the continuous/constant answer as to why countless people will be. This isn't an ancient release, something from the grave.

Is the expectation, then, that distributions would have to patch out the regression - or take on a more major upgrade (6.1 / 6.2), likely breaking something else?

Neither of these are particularly tenable. I'm glad GKH was willing to accept further changes to make it correct, but reverting is also applicable.

Breaking something, calling it EOL, and not fixing it is closer to dead than end of life.
> A single person should be able to understand a computing system in its entirety, so that they can change it to fit their needs

This idea combined with the notion that software written by someone else necessarily serves their purposes rather than yours has me gradually working in that direction. Really all I need to do is write (or run) a forth on some bare metal. It's fun to build your own hardware as well which is what I'm during learning by doing right now too. Once I realized it was possible after reading jonesforth, I've been interested in (obsessed with) the idea.

To quote jonesforth:

> You really can write a complete FORTH in, say, 2000 lines of code. I don't just mean a FORTH program, I mean a complete FORTH operating system, environment and language. You could boot such a FORTH on a bare PC and it would
come up with a prompt where you could start doing useful work. The FORTH you have here
isn't minimal and uses a Linux process as its 'base PC' (both for the purposes of making
it a good tutorial). It's possible to completely understand the system. Who can say they
completely understand how Linux works, or gcc?

> Secondly FORTH has a peculiar bootstrapping property. By that I mean that after writing
a little bit of assembly to talk to the hardware and implement a few primitives, all the
rest of the language and compiler is written in FORTH itself.
An ai could easily hire people (if it had any access to money) to operate as 'agents', to basically do what only humans could do, i.e. setup bank accounts, etc. Some banks might even arise that let wealthy ai's actually CREATE their own accounts, why not if it's lucretive?

An ai can create voice, and visual representations of a real person, perhaps even hijacking (kidnapping someone, steeling their identity and forcing them to act on their behalf whether via some sort of mind interface, etc.).

Even bigger would be if ai could simply create human/ai hybrids that basically allow them to walk/talk in the human world unseen. Imagine a hat or earpiece that basically takes over a host's brain, etc, or just replacing a human's brain with a cyborg one that has all the same features, except different persona/soul/conscious...

I'm playing devils' advocate here, I don't think it'll play out, but its easy enough to see from at least a sci-fi fan, ways in which it could using tech that wouldn't be that big of a jump from what we already are capable of, and what will be available in the next 50 years.
Yes, small ones. http://www.snsn.se/map_right.html lists earthquakes in Sweden the last year.
I'm not trying to say there's only one way to do this, especially if we are talking about user affordances for failure states. I think there could be a debate about showing what data is available vs not showing partial data.

My point is just that trying to do something with the failures often removes the warning and leads to better UX, or at least conscious decisions about it, and usually some clue in the code about what you intend to happen.
How much space do pieces take up? I.e. how close do their centers have to be for them to intersect and block or be captured?
Musk was always this way. Comparing him to Trump is unfair. Whether it's skill, intelligence, or luck, Trump is lightyears beyond Musk in building a cult of personality and exploiting it through grift. The only "smart" thing Musk ever did was to figure out he could be legally declared the founder of 2 companies retroactively.

This seems fine to me. She was paid hourly, which is nonexempt work.

If your boss found out you were getting someone to stamp your timesheet several hours before you actually came into work every day, that would be considered theft as well.

If she were on salary, it would be a different story, because exempt workers get paid for the job getting done, not the hours it takes.

It's a small accounting firm in a city with around 25,000 people. Given the time frame (March 2022) for the termination and dispute, it's likely the employee was a contract employee hired on the basis of billable hours to assist with extra workload during tax season.

Cue 4 months later with him saying he had forgotten to generate an invoice from a second record in his billing system - it had around 70% of additional hours.

This is an important perspective. We all have to find our own peace with how the food we eat is produced.

Temple Grandin discusses this in "Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals" [1]. She discusses the distress she felt when the first slaughter house that she had designed opened, and she watched the cows calming going to be slaughtered. Even with the reduced distress, or perhaps because of it, that she felt like a betrayer. But she also talks about how she comes to terms with consuming ethically produced meat. Prey species like cattle — or the nearest wild equivalent — live with high stress levels, with threats from predators, and the constant search for food. On a farm the food is assured, and the environment is less stressful. Her thesis (which I hope I am representing correctly) is that this can be a trade. The animal lives a calmer safer life, without cruelty, and in return, we eat it.

Not everyone will be happy with that argument. The world would be arguably be a better place if more people thought about this

What if man interfaces with an ai, and creates a brain that's 500x enhanced over modern humanity, and perhaps even 'linked' to other brains? Creating some sort of hive brain? Neuralink is already testing on humans or about to, and doesn't seem a far off notion that we'll be able to google or ask chatgpt questions directly from our thoughts, eventually our inner monologues might be an actual ai talking to us, etc.
and time spent on her work laptop for personal use — which, both parties agree, her employer allowed during staff's off-hours.

A lot of companies "allow" this, but IMHO it's playing with fire. I strongly recommend that people don't use company-owned equipment for personal activities, and vice-versa.

Yep. I attempt to educate him on epistemology as much as I can. He's a relatively skeptical kid, but he's also stubborn as hell and he gives somewhat of a recursive answer of "you just Google that too".

I try to impress upon him too that some things take hundreds of hours of explanation before you know enough for it to be functionally useful to you, so you can't always just Google everything. You have to learn things and build your foundations up. Alas he hates the idea of learning anything.
The second there's a CLI-only 100% compatible Docker Desktop replacement for macOS I'll use it. Docker Desktop on macOS is insanely slow and there's 0 reason it should be a GUI app that lives in my menubar, it's just ridiculous.
