In the vector example, why not just `collect<...>()` and debug print that, or am I missing the point of what they tried to illustrate?

Also, I do agree that C++'s approach to formatting the date was more user friendly/ergonomic, but on the other hand it's not something I've struggled with. I also feel like there is a more succinct version (I don't know if it would have the same performance characteristics and how much that mattered when writing the post).

They also later mentioned overall consistency and coherence in the Rust ecosystem, and I value that more over a couple of hand crafted formatters in application code
It's just Lenovo to be honest.
> aggressive planned obsolescence

What?! Apple devices have the longest usable lifespans out there (and best resell value to boot, which is also indicative of their lifespan).
Well the UK belongs to a King to that day, how does it make it any less of a developed country?

You seem to greatly downplay the historic Russia.
It's a manufactured issue that is rather absurd on its face. If SQLite is so popular that literally everyone ships it and nobody even wants to talk about writing an alternative, then take it and standardize it as is, or at least some sensible subset of it. It's probably the most open and portable codebase of notable size in widespread use worldwide, so any portability concerns are extremely hypothetical, while the productivity losses from not having a portable relational store in the browser are very real.
Agreed. Making custom editors/tools/content pipelines is also much easier when you have your own engine. Of course, you can write custom plugins for some engines, but I always felt uneasy about this - plugin API always breaks and you need to learn a lot of specifics of the engine to make something non-trivial (which is hard, because those engines are usually gigantic in scope).

The downside of making your own engine is that it’s usually gets more fun to develop the engine itself than games with it…
This is actually a pretty nice pro-consumer feature as this makes it trivial to lie to Windows that secure boot is enabled while hooking things.

Great for game cheat developers for example, who often want very deep hooks on the system to bypass anti-cheat tooling and with some modern games requiring secure boot to be enabled, this could provide an interesting alternative strategy.
On an iPhone you can go to Settings -> Name, Phone Numbers, Email -> Edit Reachable At. That's one way I guess. Haven't used this menu before so not 100% positive.
Disabling autosleep should be behind an authentication step.
Basic, yes! But try to avoid breaking a leg, or getting a bad case of COVID, because you definitely can do a lot to lower such risks.
Yeah, unfortunately Lenovo has moved on from secure boot to super-secure Windows-only boot.
> Why do people who have a critique of society think that they're the only ones who ever thought of this stuff?

Where did you get that from?
Did I miss something? I didn't need excuses to manage my classes or social calendar. I wasn't great at either, maybe I should have used excuses to dodge consequences and get better grades and be more popular?
That is fine, you don’t have to understand the underlying libraries to write useful code.
If you use the default AWS managed key rather than a CMK, it's largely the same levels of protection and the main difference is that you don't control the rotation schedule of the top-level key.

And yep, a CMK can span many services and still give you a single point of control.

But compliance is still the major thing. Many regulators, auditors and compliance authorities are just happier with KMS being the point of control. Even though AWS operates KMS, and the services, KMS is a neat compartmentalized hermetic system with HSMs at its root. So it's quicker and neater to evaluate its surface area, TCB, and so on and it's a familiar pattern to finance and health regulators especially.
When cold air gets heated up the relative humidity gets lower. If you already have very cold winter which tends to be relatively dry -- you should add humidity and this will necessarily cool the air. While this is not strictly necessary, very dry air is not healthy or comfortable. You typically don't need to add humidity when the temperature outside is around freezing but air is very humid.

And conversely, if you live in very hot and humid climate, you need to remove water from incoming air (actually, there is no other way to cool the air). This unfortunately further warms the incoming air and will necessarily lower efficiency of the exchange. Especially because you don't want to remove only minimum humidity -- you probably want to remove enough of it to get to at least 70% for comfort.

So these are extreme climates. In a more moderate climate you can get away with no need to add or remove humidity and you can get as close to 100% efficiency as you want.

> Let's say our solution causes a net decrease in developer productivity of 1%

That's 5 minutes every day of the year for every single developer, sounds like a large assumption to me.

Your developer costs are also way over the global average.
No doubt, but beyond the practical advice you've offered, a lot of health in the long term comes down to luck. Some people eat perfectly and still develop cancer at age 34, others never develop it despite "living a hard life".

On average, health insurance doesn't seem optional.

Clichés can be true.
It really all boils down to "Part 1: Locked out of iCloud". Without that step you can remotely put the device in lost mode and it will lock. That loophole needs a fix.
I have to ask, owning both Don Lancaster’s TTL Cookbook and Walt Jung’s IC Op-amp cookbook, how many of the devices described in those books are available today? Does it make sense to think about 74xx series devices (I guess the 555 timer is still around). 1970’s opamp packages? Are DIP packages still available. Can I wire wrap?
You are moving the goalposts. Initially you said money laundering, now you are saying fraud, or money fraud, whatever the difference would be. Or corruption.

As for empty luxury properties. I live across a tower, which could be called supertall, since it's just a few feet shy of 800 ft. A penthouse unit is available for sale now for $40MM. It's not the absolute very high end of luxury, but it's very nearly there. It's nighttime now, and I can see the lights. About 80% of the units are lit. In the units on the lower floors, I can see people moving about. I think the whole thing about empty properties is mostly an urban legend.

But on the other hand, until 2 years ago, I lived in an apartment where I could see directly a property owned by Leonardo DiCaprio. I've never seen the guy there. At most I could see various contractors doing various renovations, but never the actor himself. Can I ascribe the emptiness of the property to "corruption"? No. I think DiCaprio has enough money to afford to buy a unit in downtown Manhattan, and leave it empty.

Are there other people like DiCaprio? Why not? The world is big. You asked me for my Occam's razor explanation. That's my Occam's razor.

In our society, there's also another version of Occam's razor, and this one is a particular case of it: it's called "innocent until proven guilty", or "benefit of the doubt". I like it, and I use it.

You can feel free to use the assumption of guilt. It's your prerogative.
Well, I guess if it were to be more like a real world corporation, the shareholders would elect a board, which selects a CEO. If the board goes rogue with the some of the private AWS keys, or other company assets, past the point where the shareholders vote to replace them, then I would imagine the shareholders would want to elect board members who would take action to re-secure the physical assets, possibly via extralegal means. For some assets, one could also imagine a smart contract that automatically expires control of the asset as soon as the CEO/board is changed. By the way, not that I am endorsing this as good for society, though it's interesting, and I could just see this being a beneficial innovation for black/gray market firms.
To me, this feels more like a waste of resources just for something that is cool. It's completely useless to send people to Mars, just an expensive artistic performance.

Meanwhile life on Earth is dying, because of the human activity. Some things are difficult to change (forcing everyone to use bikes all the time would be a big problem: how do you bring food into cities without trucks?), and others seem very easy: just don't put all those resources into useless Mars, and instead try to save life on Earth.
There are, or used to be, Bosch tankless water heaters which used a small turbine connected to a piezo-electric igniter, no external power source required ever.
You do realize that “open the window and hear that air” is massively energy inefficient, right?
Everyone making $200k+ should definitely immediately quit and follow this path so I can swoop in for some of that cash.
Well...no it supports two. Mines litterally sitting on my desk right now plugged into 2 screens and has been for ~4 months. A you issue doesnt make it an issue with the product ;)
I’m pretty sure the romanticizing of the idea of “quitting the rat race” is one of the largest motivators to play the game.

If you want to quit the rat race you’re going to have to sacrifice a lot, unless you checks notes “[work] at a top tier investment bank as a software engineer”.
> Is it mentioned in the changelog? Hah, nope.

For a motherboard I updated a week ago (B350 PC Mate) I did notice the following item in the changelog:

> - Change the default setting of Secure Boot.

So it was mentioned in the changelog, just very vaguely.
I live in the city, but have friends out in the mountains of BC and when we go hiking, we carry this 1 time use SOS beacon. It's registered with the government and if we hit it, they will send out a helicopter. He's used it before on another hiker who broke their leg.

You should always carry a gun as well.
I take your point, but installation faults in central gas heating are also very common, but perhaps less obvious. The main one I’m thinking about is poor sealing or placement of the return duct, causing entrainment of air from the wall cavity. Source: local experts, and then I inspected my friend’s houses (hah).
No other OS on the hardware would support it as the M1 has physical limitations. You're in luck though, the M2 MBP's look to be releasing tomorrow.
If you added code to tickle the GPIO specifically to gain insight into the process, whether you leave it in or not, then it’s “print debugging”. Many a microcontroller developer has tickled an indicator LED in their day.

If your simply monitoring activity through an external source (whether it’s an oscilloscope or watching traffic through a network analyzer) then that’s basically black box testing.
I had a similar problem, but I decided that simply running the fan to mix up the air was a fine solution. The fan doesn't use much electricity, and it's good not to let rooms get too stale anyway.

I have the fan programmed to run 10 or 15 minutes an hour regardless of if the heat pump needs to run. It keeps things pretty even.
Not going to try to justify Apple but feel like a piece of info is missing from the post. How did they unlock the phone? Maybe the phone had no auth set up?

In general, it's expected that you should be able to update your own phone number in your iCloud account.
It might happen without your choice, so be prepared for it. Save 6m of expenses.
What? No. Risk-benefit analysis does not stop being valid just because there's a higher uncertainty.

If phase IV follow up finds problems people who are affected can be notified, funding can be allocated, etc, etc. Also known "potential negative" consequences are much better than unknown ones, because there are likely risk minimization and harm reduction strategies.

Public health is a cruel topic, because there are so many hazards, side-effects for preventative measures, so little resources, etc. It's "great" that COVID was "mild" compared to the extreme possibility of something like Ebola, but it was also much-much-much harder to contain, because it spread by air ... and it killed a lot more people in the end, because people did not take it seriously, did not manage it (inadequate testing), fall prey to the do-everything or do-nothing fallacy (eg. stay at home, meet no one ... or go to work and packed restaurants).

In this regard it's very likely okay that people were pushed, pressured, and persuaded to get the damn jab.
I didn’t say “God” I said “religion.” “Secular” morality invariably reduces to a system of moral assertions that must be believed but cannot be empirically observed or proven true. To me, that’s just another way of saying “religion.”

For example, what’s Kantian ethics?

> It states that an action can only be moral if (i) it is motivated by a sense of duty and (ii) its maxim may be rationally willed a universal, objective law.

If I autopsy a dead body, am I going to find any evidence of those things in there? Can you empirically prove the categorical imperative?

Moreover, “secular morality” in practice is typically just the moral philosophy of the dominant religion with the supernatural elements removed. My dad isn’t a believer, but thinks choosing not to have children is immoral. Why? Maybe it’s because his parents were devout Muslims and having children is an important obligation in Islam. Similarly, it’s amusing to observe how many professed atheists really just believe in the Christian social gospel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Gospel) without Jesus.

I’m not saying that’s bad. But you have to understand how deeply intertwined even seemingly secular western thought is with Christianity, and doesn’t easily translate to other parts of the world.
Not bad, except it doesn't show all the amazing things the rats are building.
This is one of the bigger myths used to sell tankless. Modern water heater tanks are well insulated; losses are usually quoted as less than 10%.

From a cost perspective, the slight efficiency increase of tankless never pays back over the cost of the unit, and unfortunately, usually the more frequent repairs. The big benefit is the 'unlimited' hot water.
> just imagine an invisible `if` in front of every selector or media query.

That reminds me of how I'm supposed to imagine an invisible watashi or an invisible ga in Japanese sentences, which is also incredibly difficult for for non-native speakers to do well (at least, in the beginning, which most do not get far beyond) and causes all sorts of problems for translation engines.

So how about making the language explicit, clear, and hence easier for humans to reason about? All this all you have to do stuff reminds me of how adherents speak about C and Git. Thank God we're seeing viable replacements for C, and I have hope in a replacement for Git (jj or pijul? I pray). If something comes along that is less painful than CSS I'll be the first to jump and I won't be alone.
It is dead obvious that you have never travelled. The problem with the power grid is that it barely exists. The problem is that the final mile is a fucked-up mess of barely-functioning hacks. The problem is that it is utterly unreliable. The problem is that there isn’t even capacity for everyone in the neighbourhood to run all their kettles simultaneously, so good fucking luck plugging in cars. You are utterly clueless about conditions on the ground. Good day, I’m done trying to get you to understand what it’s like in rural/small town/poor neighbourhoods in poor countries.
So is there any reason for secure boot to exist, other than to make it harder to boot an operating system other than Windows? I am all for verified boot (like implemented on some smartphones like Pixels), but UEFI secure boot doesn't seem particularly useful to me.
Seems like it would be more efficient to wear a climate controlled bubble suit than heating up entire rooms. And you could even go outside when it is cold or hot or dusty.
I love our Daikin mini-splits (came with the house), but as you allude to I've had to become an mini expert on deep cleaning them. They've can get GROSS with mold when used for cooling, and the cursory filter only does so much. That being said, now they stay clean for a few years after a deep cleaning -- though my first few attempt before I refined the process did not stay clean nearly as long. (Proper water pressure and disinfect is key.)

Cleaning basically involves a dedicated cover + drain that diverts water to a bucket, and blasting it with what's effectively a "low power pressure washer" I can use indoors (carefully), and "Lemocide" to properly disinfect... And coil cleaner for the fins. Takes me a good 4+ hours per unit, largely spent preparing the area in case there is any rogue spray. (Though TBH I may be a bit obsessive about getting it right.)

I also had a drain leak as you mentioned -- blasting the drain line with aforementioned "low pressure washer" helped with that. Still a bit gross to deal with. (And learning how to properly disassemble and clean the drip tray is the final thing I've put off leaning for a completely-thorough deep clean... I'm a bit horrified anticipating what I'll find...)
I think that Yeltsin had his own experience of shopping (or otherwise getting stuff shipped) from a "special distribution center" which he knew was unavailable to 99.8% of population yet had way worse selection of goods than the random USA supermarket. It was whatever stuff they could buy in Finland, basically.

He had a family. Personal experiences are hard to beat. He also started his career in Yekaterinburg, from some mid-range position, so he was not that detached from the life of common folk. He just saw a very different kind of life which does not translate to knowing things in theory.
Pick problems that sound fun. You don't get that during interviews but you can give yourself that edge outside of interviews.
> You might be thinking of “background check” as something different from what I am thinking.

Oh yeah, good catch, I indeed was thinking of a different kind of a background check. I was thinking of an actual employer/police/financing/etc. type of a background check, which is pretty standardized in its scope.

Thanks for elaborating on it btw, I think I get your point now.
Why’s that? Because Github is scraping repos for Copilot?
This change is unrelated. E.g. 7C02v3F (2022-08-12) for B450 TOMAHAWK MAX had this line in the changelog, but 7C02v3C (2022-01-18) version also had this issue.
certainly gets rid of one type of edge case.
A quick comment: it doesn’t make sense to compare your life and level of happiness with other people. Why not to compare with ancient doom and gloom times? What would it change to realize that you are better off than 100% of roman empire citizens? Why does it even matter? This sounds like a very weak argument meant to give you an alibi against another part of you that is unhappy, but - it just doesn’t.

The ONLY thing that is real is how YOU feel.

There are certain things Apple does that are user hostile like pushing people to buy cloud storage by neglecting their local backup and local syncing user experiences, but planned obsolescence is definitely not one of them. If you are accusing that person of being biased for Apple then ai am here to tell you that you are definitely being biased again.

I think insurance policies cap maximum out of pocket costs. I'm on a cheap policy ($300/month) that caps annual out of pocket costs at $12K. I have that $12K on standby if something really bad happens but it's been years and no issues yet.

I have the Apple TV app on my Google TV, and certain actions require me to use my iPad, such as buying films. I guess they didn't want to give Google a cut of their revenue but also couldn't be bothered making a web interface.
I've been structuring more and more of my code with patterns like:

bool SomeProperty { get; set; } = false;
string SomeValue => SomeProperty == true ? SomeValueA : SomeValueB;
string SomeValueA => "A";
string SomeValueB => SqliteConnection.ExecuteScalar<string>("SELECT 'B'");
string SomeDescription => SomeProperty switch
{
false => "Extended description for false",
true => "Extended description for true"
}
string Output =>
@$"Result: {SomeValue}
Description: {SomeDescription}";

Combine with language features like LINQ and you can do an incredible amount of damage before you have to take out a proper method body.

I've caught a LOT of bugs converting method bodies to expressions like this.
Not great examples. Hazy memories of readme files for projects that sound interesting but fizzle out, sometimes decades ago.

Emacs is probably a success story in that genre. It's possible to use it as the first process booted iiuc. I certainly have days where it's the only process I run after gnome has booted.

Guix has replaced a lot of Linux userspace infra with scheme. Successfully as far as I can tell.

I think there are (non-emacs...) operating systems in various states of progress written in lisp.

Sometimes one finds a compiler written in lisp which doesn't have a runtime in C. Jitawa, Maru are the only two I know of. All the others I've looked at seem to be built on top of C. I think they're both finished/abandoned.

My rebuild everything project is still in the better compiler phase so I might be projecting. Hopefully I'll remember better anecdotes later.
Sorry that is very poor understanding. No you cannot copy paste bitcoins(not sure what crypto is) into distinct pieces with identical properties.

No, it is not trivially hard forkable compared to say the dollar or pound where the supply (a key property) is constantly adjusted by an unaccountable cabal of unelected bureaucrats whenever they fancy it.
I genuinely don't get the "save the human species" argument. We are living a mass extinction which is caused by the human species. So one species (humans) is essentially destroying most of the variety of life.

If you care about preserving humans, why don't you care about preserving life? Of all the miracles of evolution, ending up with a few humans surviving on Mars is not a success in my book.

I completely agree that UX on mobile is terrible, half the controls can only be learned by random chance or brute force. However, kids grow up with mobile devices from a very young age these days, young enough for the terrible UX not to matter as much.

Copying the mobile UI is definitely a bad direction, but it's a very understandable one from a business sense and it's the only explanation I can really think of when it comes to Windows 11's iconography and design.
