[citation needed] for that assertion. Atari 2600 is extremely limited in the number of sprites available on-screen at the same time. If you've played Pac-Man then you know that 5 is too many, because all of the so-called "ghosts" are actually flickering. They're doing that not for a spooky effect, but because they can't be simultaneously displayed. That sort of sprite flicker doesn't happen in Pitfall!

Is there a reason to assume the traditional measures are, in fact, the correct ones to be using?
In my anecdotal experience, that's much more of a factor if my prevailing diet involves carbs - especially simple carbs/sweets. It feels more like a drug addiction I've briefly experienced withdrawal from before regaining abundant access.

On a more keto/low-carb style diet it's a much different experience, for me.
That's basically the problem. In the few incidents I've been in where the shit hit the fan, plenty of the grown adults around me screaming like children had to be in that group of "experienced" flyers, going by how many people I see totally oblivious during the briefings.

OK, so I know nothing about NOTAMs and even less about the FAA infrastructure.

But: data errors introduced by a bad disk? In 2022? Storing your data on a hardware-backed (or, ZFS-backed, if you must) RAID6 (or equivalent) partition has been bog-standard for the past decade or so, and a partition is either online (and OK) or degraded (but still OK), or offline, at which point 'restoring the latest backup' (or just failing over to a replica) should bring you back to an OK state.

Then: apparently, restoring the offline partition caused bad data to be ingested, over and over, crashing the system again and again. Even if we pretend that solutions like SQLite have not been available for the past decade or so, 'skip past the head of the corrupted data file' has been best-practice since I last saw abominations requiring such hacks (say: Novell MHS), and sorry to repeat myself, over a decade ago?

TL;DR: please pay me US$ 200M, and I'll make sure all your problems are at least not of the kind solved a long time ago?
Same. I also use it to fall asleep to. PBS Frontiline and Fall of Civilizations channel episodes keep me educated and catching zzzzz's most nights.
Indeed.

Socrates: At the Egyptian city of Naucratis, there was a famous old god, whose name was Theuth; the bird which is called the Ibis is sacred to him, and he was the inventor of many arts, such as arithmetic and calculation and geometry and astronomy and draughts and dice, but his great discovery was the use of letters...

This, said Theuth, will make the Egyptians wiser and give them better memories; it is a specific both for the memory and for the wit.

Thamus replied: O most ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them. And in this instance, you who are the father of letters, from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

A good breakfast, in my experience and readings, is mostly fiber, with some fat, and a little naturally-occurring sugar. Peanut butter toast and a banana does that perfectly. Yogurt with honey and a banana. Bread, cheese, and an apple. A boiled egg and butter toast. Cold leftover pizza :)

The fiber is most important, to provide some grist for your digestive system. The fat quenches some hunger and allows you to put off your next meal/snack with less discomfort. A little sugar provides some early energy.
Yes exactly. If your average HN user can see sample size is too small, Journal reviewers should be able to. Your not going to discover or decide any science if your sample size is too small.
The trouble with throwing is that the compiler doesn't care if you catch. For any library that throws, I wrap that up in my adaptor layer with try catch and then return an Error upwards. That way in the rest of my domain I've got the compiler complaining if I'm not handling an error that is coming from below. I can be sure that when I'm handling an error it's not going to be something random from 2 layers down, because it was explicitly returned by the layer I'm calling.

As in most things coding, you can accomplish the same thing with either approach, but I believe by returning an `| Error` there's a better chance for the compiler to catch a bug before I run the code.

The blog post mentions Wayfire, which has a plugin architecture, so not separate processes but an abstraction boundary at least - which is the more important thing.
I pretty much just believe the opposite of what the government says at this point. Lol.

The only people I know who have beaten obesity long term have done it with some combination of IF/keto/paleo. Everybody else backslides.
In my experience it is very subjective and generally contextual what either side of that equation means.

The term meritocracy has often been by people who have a very clear view on what contribution and reward mean and they typically assume a closed and fair system where everyone already agreed on the meaning of those terms and on the rules on how to evaluate those things on a case by case basis.

To be honest I'm just not sure whether it is a useful term at all outside of games, sports and other controlled systems with predefined and agreed upon rules.
Any insight into how this is done without impacting performance for reads as they now need to decrypt the data?
Worked for me: 1) get rid of data plan. 2) wifi router blocks devices at 11pm. I get angry for a minute then relax. Importantly, I can’t connect to box to modify schedule until the next morning. Next morning I don’t care and time to work.

This worked where “screen time” did not, since it lets you type a pin to bypass.

Combined with night/red shift I sleep well again. P.s. read books and you’ll want to read more often.

There are billions of absolutely fantastic videos that took exactly zero in production cost, nobody's forcing anyone to invest more than that.

If people want to base their main income on making free online videos than that's their problem. Some will then try to disingenuously guilt trip people on patreon and similar, and there are those who go get themselves some sponsors like a proper advertising business does. Do these creators classify themselves as a non-profit org? Because that's who runs on donations.
That is indeed something that people debate about.
I didn't say it's globally ignored (I understand how promises work :)), I said what you did in the code sample adds a catch that ignores the error (it's an empty catch). In real code that wouldn't be empty though, it should have error reporting logic or something to handle that situation in the UI. Once you do that it's not a "hack" anymore, it's just reasonable error handling.
There was an article recently that it had become very difficult to provide official cover, as social media backstories are not as easy to populate as official backstories.

LLM-generated cliques might both solve that problem and (in conjunction with spearphishing) address the "bootstrap" problem of flooding cliques that don't have organic neighbours?

> even the most advanced LLMs tend to make absurd statements and lose their coherence as their text gets longer than a few pages.

If not making absurd statements and remaining coherent over pages is what it takes to pass a Turing test these days, we'll see failures for many wetware content generators.
Somewhat OT: could we use a training set of movie scripts for good and not-good ones. It could then be used for generating scripts or for evaluating written scripts. Maybe even used for written scripts to make them better.

We should move past "look what AI can do!" into ways to improve what we have by making use of them.
This completely sidesteps the issue. No one asked if the planet was alive. When an educated person says or hears "the planet", they should, unless context dictates otherwise, interpret it to mean the entire biosphere. This is a question of morality and fairness to all life. This anthropocentrist mentality is short-sighted and selfish.

And just because the sun expands in a few billion years doesn't mean I shouldn't be nice to my neighbor today.
Rather than “well meaning members of the public”, I think the larger problem is with health and science reporting which frequently reports findings of very small studies as if they are definitive fact, with very prominent and provocative headlines.

You're right. it's non-associativity in disguise. You might not like the next example neither:

200 K EUR at least, if you can manage to fetch one. At only 2500 units they're unlikely to be sold at Porsche dealerships to non-Porsche customers.

As a funny anecdote a friend of mine managed to buy a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS (not just GT4 but GT4 RS) from an official Porsche dealership because he said he wanted one before Porsche even announced they would create that model. "I want to order a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS" / "But sir that car doesn't exist" / "I don't care, they'll certainly make one. If want to book it now".

And he got it a few months ago : )

In your story though the hapless dev just changed the test. And the reviewers approved it.

This suggests that there are so many changes to tests that it's just become background noise.
Its a political statement/dogtag for them.
> Containers have been around years before Docker.. (Jails, OpenVZ, etc.)

that's exactly what they failed to deal with - Ops people were already fine & happy all the way with _existing_ solutions (they even know the difference between OpenVZ and Jails). Who was/is struggling is the Joe The Average Frontend developer and Project Managers hearing "sysadmins still setting up our Jails".

Or take from other angle - I'm on Windows, my colleague is on Mac, our grey beard devops guy is on Linux-Arch-Btw something - and we all can use the same Dockerfile and play around without not-giving-a-shit how it works under the hood and what kind of NAT/iptables/sysadmin-mumbo-jumbo is beneath.
Total win!
Absolutely. The act of trying to write code immediately brings out the questions that you end up needing to answer in a design.

The mistake is by other people who think that your first efforts represent the product and need to be shipped.

In 2050, the populations of the US and China are projected to be:

* China: 1.3 billion

* USA: 450 million

The public discourse in the US about China is schizophrenic. Either China is the biggest threat ever, or it's about to collapse. Sometimes the same people say both things at once.

Beyond that, Zeihan comes across as a BS artist. He confidently makes all sorts of absurd statements. For example, "Their educational system focuses on memorization over skills, so despite over a trillion dollar investment and a bottomless supply of intellectual property theft, they really haven't advanced technologically in the last 15 years." It's hard to imagine anyone who's been to China recently, or who works anywhere near tech or academia saying this. China in 2008 and 2023 are almost incomparable on pretty much every level, including educationally and technologically.

One more funny quote by Zeihan: "They [China] are going away, and they're going away this decade." The world's largest country by population, which is the 1st- or 2nd-largest by GDP (depending on whether you correct for purchasing power), and which has arguably existed for over 3000 years, is "going away" this decade? Bold prediction.
I traced out the layers of the chip using GIMP, which was tedious and took several days. I have a super-hacky program that extracts transistors from these layers, figures out connectivity, and generates gates from the transistors. So I didn't need to count the transistors one-by-one, but I did need to trace out each one.

Yeah they can be helpful in such cases. I used Gnome for a while and although I liked the overview animation, it was too slow for my taste and you needed an extension to speed it up, so I just disabled them. I see that Hyprland allows you to configure this OOTB though.
This paper is embarrassingly bad. It's really just an opinion piece where the authors rant about why they don't like large language models.

There is no falsifiable hypothesis to be found in it.

I think this paper will age very poorly, as LLMs continue to improve and our ability to guide them (such as with RLHF) improves.
Based on my own personal experience (and, to a lesser degree, some other sources I've read online), intermittent fasting (IF) leads to the opposite of obesity.

With a smaller eating window (e.g. less than or equal to 8 hours in a day), there is a greater likelihood that less food will be consumed. This relies on CICO (ie. calorie consumption being less than TDEE). I read the linked abstract but there was no mention of number of calories consumed by the test subjects; I estimate that this would be the most critical factor with regard to weight loss.

As far as the claimed likelihood for type 2 diabetes, it seems to run counter to everything I've read about IF. When a person restricts their eating to a smaller window of time, their body's insulin resistance decreases, thereby lowering the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.

I genuinely read the title as "always look down on London" and my French mind was as vindicated as it was puzzled by it. The article however is much more interesting and full of those little things that make living in old and beautiful cities worth it.

> But I understand it's a personal preference.

Indeed. No company size is perfect. There are dysfunctions typical for small companies. There are dysfunctions typical for large ones.

But people have preferences; some things they can handle, other things drive them crazy. What drives you crazy may be different from what drives your friends crazy.

Perhaps everyone should try to work once in a large corporation, and once in a startup, to figure out their own preferences.

For me, not for health.

I work from home, we home school kiddo. That means they're not up and around until 11am or noon.

For me, I fall out of bed and jump on Zoom meetings, because I'm in a different time zone from most of my team. I don't get clear of meetings until around noon, when I can eat. My family's late schedule keeps me up late, hence falling out of bed and into Zoom.

Probably not the healthiest, and definitely not "intermittent fasting" with deliberation.
You are making an explicit dichotomy / choice very clearly and eloquently and I agree with most of what you said.

Where not everybody may agree is which side they prefer.

This is an opinion, not a fact : "If you need 2 devs to code, one to qa/test. That's it. You don't get anyone else. Not for redundancy, not for anything else. You don't involve legal or marketing, change management,etc... because that means rules and procedures and politics and meetings and planning."

I.e. For some companies / stakeholders / shareholders / client, risk aversion and predictability absolutely positively is preferred at cost of some agility. It's a willing overhead not necessarily perceived as waste. people driving without insurance may laugh at the suckers who are paying for something they'll probably never use, but risk appetite differs. We don't have to all agree, it's a wonderful diverse world out there, but I will always respect an argument better if it is self-aware of its assumptions and biases.

I think it also matters on what the response to the incident was, in particular the answer to the questions of: who was responsible and how can we prevent this from happening again?

If the answer to the first question is a bunch of finger pointing or the answer to the second is along the lines of "nothing", heads will likely roll.

My first boss as a FTE at a trading shop made a change to a production database outside of process before a weekend. Come Monday morning, production trading systems couldn't come up for market open. We were also an options market maker. He refused to accept responsibility for his actions and denied there was anything done to prevent it. He was quickly behind closed doors in his boss's office. I had to undo the changes he made the week before (hooray for audit tables) as soon as I could. We were potentially liable for a substantial penalty from the exchange for being out of the market, and every minute mattered. Don't know if we ever did get penalized, but he was fired and out the door by 10AM that day.

I've certainly seen and made lots of mistakes over the decades since, but that's the only one for which I've seen someone canned. Response matters.

I don’t say to get rid of the database. Of course it makes sense to store the comments there. I say get rid of 1) the database events and 2) the Ruby logic to listen to these events. This can be done by the Ruby saving logic. It’s just over engineering to use events.

I'd say quite a few (most?) of us do have an interest in the most secure form of coding there is: write as little of it as possible, and work with as little data as possible.

Unfortunately, we live in a real world with endless corner cases, so real-world software ends up having to address those corner cases - meaning more code, and more data to work with. Such software is also rarely unburdened by deadlines and prioritizations from management - meaning that as much as programmers would like to pursue security hardening, there's rarely time to do so.

In other words: you're barking up the wrong tree. Take it up with my manager/customer/etc. demanding I devote my time to new features instead of even so much as tech debt reduction (let alone actual security hardening).
