> And now, having spoken of the men born of the pilot's craft, I shall say something about the tool with which they work - the airplane. Have you looked at a modern airplane? Have you followed from year to year the evolution of its lines? Have you ever thought, not only about the airplane but about whatever man builds, that all of man's industrial efforts, all his computations and calculations, all the nights spent over working draughts and blueprints, invariably culminate in the production of a thing whose sole and guiding principle is the ultimate principle of simplicity?

> It is as if there were a natural law which ordained that to achieve this end, to refine the curve of a piece of furniture, or a ship's keel, or the fuselage of an airplane, until gradually it partakes of the elementary purity of the curve of a human breast or shoulder, there must be the experimentation of several generations of craftsmen. In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.

> It results from this that perfection of invention touches hands with absence of invention, as if that line which the human eye will follow with effortless delight were a line that had not been invented but simply discovered, had in the beginning been hidden by nature and in the end been found by the engineer. There is an ancient myth about the image asleep in the block of marble until it is carefully disengaged by the sculptor. The sculptor must himself feel that he is not so much inventing or shaping the curve of breast or shoulder as delivering the image from its prison.

> In this spirit do engineers, physicists concerned with thermodynamics, and the swarm of preoccupied draughtsmen tackle their work. In appearance, but only in appearance, they seem to be polishing surfaces and refining away angles, easing this joint or stabilizing that wing, rendering these parts invisible, so that in the end there is no longer a wing hooked to a framework but a form flawless in its perfection, completely disengaged from its matrix, a sort of spontaneous whole, its parts mysteriously fused together and resembling in their unity a poem.

By not reducing greenhouse emissions.

But, the fact is that if civilization is destroyed by any means in the next 100 years, we won't have the quantity of fossil fuels available to bootstrap it again.
Reversing aging means an expected lifespan of ~500 due to accidents/other causes.
I think first para of this is not quite right.

If there is a monthly payment, it's weolse not jeonse. And the large deposit is bojeunggeum (key money). The larger it is, the lower the rent, typically on a standard scale (eg. every $10k more is $100/month less iirc).

But you won't get zero rent without switching over to jeonse. You're talking about upwards of quarter million dollars to start with that.

I've never signed a jeonse contract so not sure if the terms are very different to a 2 year weolse contract or whether the numeric parameters are just different :)
> It's crazy humans have evolved in less than 0.1% (300k years) of that lower range.

What you mean and what you are suggesting are two different things. Homo sapiens evolved from a similar species less than 300K years ago, not in less than 300K years! It took 62.5M years for humans to evolve from the small mammals that survived the impact that killed the dinosaurs. It was a mere 2.3M years ago when the first humans walked the earth, a species we now call Homo habilis.

There are a few ways people take such a message - yes, life is precious, be conscious of what we invest our time in. This part makes sense.

Yet, it is worth asking, what makes for a meaning life? What makes the 4000 weeks worth it?
For some, they chase wealth, power, career success, get one's name recognized, etc - these are milestones to be achieved. Things to accomplish.

Others will say, such accomplishments are not the purpose, let us accumulate as many meaningful experiences as possible. So do things like travel the world, and so on.

But it is worth reflecting, a few years from now, what really is the difference between a dream you had a few days ago, compared with an experience from, say 10 years ago? The difference is very little. Our memories are fuzzy, and to chase experiences will also likely leave us feeling unfulfilled.

Human relationships are also similarly shallow, even if we seek social connection, the odds of it being reciprocated in the manner we value, or of it lasting when we need it, is low.

So what's my point? The point is, whatever pursuits we undertake with the belief out there that something that I accomplish, accumulate or experience will bring me happiness and fulfillment is a futile endeavor.

Instead, if we can function from a state of feeling content as we live each day, whatever the circumstances, then what we do during the lifespan given to us matters little. However long or short, the inner contentment makes it meaningful.

Sorry for the long response, but wanted to share how I look upon this topic.

Nooo, I’m describing the behavior I _experience_ with that keyboard. The number of times I type something, it messes it up, I back up, and the first option is the word I typed…
the problem is usually that the process becomes a monolith, loses its efficiency.

the solution is to have more than one way to do something so these processes can keep each other in check. (eg. majority of devs start using process B instead of A then there is a clear signal that A is inefficient, so owners of A are incentivized to make A better...)

Do you think there’s a way to “rate” a particular solution? I’m wondering about how to gauge “efficiency” in placing the pieces. Fewest “wasted” threat squares maybe?
If I’m someone who just wants to get an app out the door, then I’d argue that not being able to gracefully bridge to other paradigms when there is a gap in what is available under a reactive pattern is by itself a problem (an ecosystem problem). That’s why I use React. Despite the issues with bridging to non-reactive abstractions, it remains a useful pattern.

Others may be more concerned with the applicability of the pattern itself.

I deeply disliked the book not because I found it dark but instead obvious and the writer plays out the implications that we have limited time in our lives in very strange ways such as arguing against using NFC to pay for things.

If you have taken an intro philosophy class or even watched some videos on YouTube you will have already seen these ideas.

A much better use of someone’s limited time would be to just read an intro to Buddhism or existentialism. You will get the same basic concepts and much better ideas on how you can address these issues in your life.
The Bibites: Artificial Life Simulation
Kudos to your dad, sounds like he was a great engineer.
Also some explanation of what makes a solution "perfect" would be nice.
I think it's still good advice for programmers of all experiences.

I have worked with too many programmers that know everything about engineering and process but can't actually DO THE WORK or solving problems, applying data structures, innovating their way out of a corner.

They can go a long way with senior management because they speak all the right lingo.

But when push comes to shove, and a new system needs to be built, or a bug needs to be solved quickly and safely in production without backwards incompatible changes, or business requirements collide against technology options...they are lost.
Ornithopters are more manoeuvrable than fixed wing drones, and (potentially) more efficient than quadcopters or helicopters.

Passives and such - $10

Prices from octopart and some quick guessing, shipping not included. PCB would be the first to come down in price with even a small quantity, $25 is probably an underestimation with qty=1. Passives and friends can also go up quickly depending on design. There is also an SMT antenna present that could cost a few bucks.
How to convert animated SVG to GIF

They are reciting the guilt that they are copying off their parents. It’s horrible.

Think about it this way. You worked damn hard so that your children have a better life. I know I do. So did my parents. Is it unfair that we give that advantage to our children? No. And certainly neither you or your children have anything to feel guilty about.

I’m not from the US so I don’t understand the whole slavery issue but still, no one alive today deserves this insane guilt put on them now for some ancestor sin. That’s called collective guilt and it’s why nazis killed Jews. People need to stop it.

Life is unfair and we are all different. What you do with your talents and resources is what counts. Not what some ancestor of yours did. It’s ridiculous. If you do feel privileged, give away your wealth. If you don’t, then don’t. But for gods sake stop feeling guilt about things you didn’t do.

No, this isn't close to a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is fraud where profits are paid to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.

CircleCI has listed literally every kind of credential used by its users as vulnerable. This includes deploy keys that are used to download source code. Anyone who has access to customer data, and a deploy key, can just check out the source code, instantly.

The extent to which CircleCI has gone to eliminate all threats is... scary. They've gotten GitHub to invalidate any GitHub access tokens used by a CircleCI customer. They've gotten AWS to e-mail AWS customers if one of their access keys was stored in CircleCI. It's a complete and total compromise of literally every customer secret in CircleCI. I expect this will be the biggest hack of 2023... and it's still January.

So, yeah, I'm pretty sure customer source code is up for grabs.
>People in the developed world(or adjancent) have children anyway because they allow themselves to not apply such thinking for once.

I assume you meant developing world, in which case the reason is probably that many women do not have the opportunity to apply such thinking, due to lacking financial independence and/or access to highly effective contraception such as IUDs.
what do you think of OKR? do they help? are promotions misaligned with OKR?

Don’t worry, I’m not modern society. I’m just some guy who finds joy being a good human for and with my pup, caring for her wellbeing, finding fun healthy things to do with her. I find a lot of joy in a lot of other things too, they’re just all incomparable to my relationship with my pup. If that still sounds like a sad indictment of anything, I’ve failed you somehow but I’m gonna throw in the towel and go snuggle with my pup regardless.
My only memory of watching this show on TV as a child is of how utterly unheroic Link was, and that bothered me as someone who played the games. I have no nostalgia for this show, and I’m glad it didn’t do better. If it did and this became Link’s main characterization I don’t think I would’ve touched another Zelda game.
There is a balance. Surely it is reasonable for cost / benefit to cross the mind of a woman, who has to sacrifice at least some portion of her health, and become dependent on others for an unknown amount of time.

The owner might not want to sell, or they might only want to rent. Also, the deposit is fully refunded at the end of the term in this type of rental. In a jeonse, the deposit is generally 50% to 80% of the value.
I'm talking about C++ too, but I write lock free algorithms and data structures all the time and they have nothing to do with with smart pointers in any way.

Why don't you answer my questions above? They confront the ABA problem directly since I explained three ways to keep counts paired with pointers or indices. What can't be done without a garbage collector? Why do you keep giving vague recommendations to read about general topics? Give me a specific deeply technical answer if you can.

Bill Gates responds to skepticism about him owning 275,000 acres of farmland
The aerodynamics of flapping aren't actually very well understood, so one of the reasons is just a platform for applied experiments. The reason you would want such a platform is because bird fight is potentially more energy efficient than anything humans have developed (as seems to be the case with so many naturally evolved mechanisms).
So you archive RAWs, not just JPEGs? I get that professional photographers do, but I never would. And I think they do it to preserve byte depth or whatever, but FLAC from a single pass CD rip has all the bit depth of the original, even if it has a few bits wrong you'll never notice it.

Our esthetic sense evolves along behind designs. What is efficient comes to seem beautiful to the next generation. Once the Ford Edsel was the pinnacle of automotive beauty.

The P-51 or Spitfire would lose to a T-28 or F8F, but the former look better to us. We are attuned now to designs like the Su-57 and F-22, so are less sensitive to the merits of systems that work a different regime.

I grew up watching that show, and can’t ever enjoy it like I used to. The 90s weren’t as great as they make them out on Portlandia. A lot of lower middle class kids turned to cable tv for escape when they felt like they had no allies.

This is good reporting…

But it hurts knowing what entertained you when you had very few allies came at someone else’s expense.

GitHub OAuth access credentials could be used to compromise OAuth-authenticated apps. And GitHub personal access tokens with too broad of permissions could download pretty much anything, including any secrets stored in GitHub Actions.

But getting the source code is pretty bad by itself. Not from an intellectual property standpoint, but because I've never seen a company whose developers didn't commit live credentials into their source code.

Rust Unpopular Opinion
The best part of rust is not coding, it's debugging.

You get about 30 or something number of errors in large project. And you debug, one by one, and one by one. It goes down to 30, 29, 25, 24 .. and with a little patience you get it down to 4, 3, 2, and a error. Sometime you can even increase errors, because there is error around error, but it generally goes down just as quick.

Then you correct the last bug, and it then shows `Finished dev in ## seconds`. And, most probably, your code works just as you expected. No memory bugs, no side stuffs. Sure, there can be logical errors, and it can be corrected. But no hard to know errors. The error message tells you how to correct your syntax error. It's a bit opinionated, but it's good and, at the end of day, it guides you to write a decent code. And finally with `cargo fmt`, and your code looks just as compact and pretty as flawlessly it works.
> This is just simply nonsense.

Your head is full of nonsense. Something like 85% of animal and plant diversity on Earth has disappeared in the last 50 years. According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund, more than a third of Earth's natural resources have been destroyed by humans in just thirty years. And yet deforestation has increased to an alarming rate. Have you heard of Climate Change? Guess what's causing that? It is estimated that humans use 173% of the earth's resources every year. You mind explaining how that is sustainable? We're pretty much screwed, and the last thing we need is more people.

Seems self-evidential that you should not let anyone who says this become a leader. And similarly, the problem solves itself if you elect someone who doesn't believe it.
You can have reactive programming with batch state updates. For the longest time, most React code used setState to update the entirety of a component's state at once rather than set each property individually and hope the framework batches up changes fast (or you use manual state update limitation logic like debounces). These days, I see a lot of React code having switched to functional components that suffer from rapid state updates, possibly without the authors even knowing.

In theory, these state updates shouldn't be a problem as your rendering logic and your state logic should be separate, at most rendering one or two frames wrong if the state updates are inconsistent. Video games have done this for over a decade and every "modern" GUI framework uses a GPU surface to paint its own controls rather than use existing system windowing, so you may as well take a page out of games' book.

Sadly, I don't think many frameworks do this stuff right and a lot of time is spend doing unnecessary state recalculations. It's certainly easier to write bug free GUI code through reactive programming, as state conflict bugs now get gracefully handled by the frameworks, but I think because these issues are now no longer clearly visible they also don't get recognised as bugs anymore.

I think this is just one of the many ways development has shifted towards developer comfort over user experience; changing a number in a region in memory and redrawing a string doesn't need to go through 50 chained method calls to update application state, but they make life for the devs easier so they're often tolerated. You get more features in return, but I'm not happy with the price we paid for those (mostly useless) features.
