I don't think your example is that good. I loved the nevers because it always had you go thats awesome and WTF?

Obviously that is not for everybody and that is fine, but I would have watched the shit out of it if it didn't get canceled.
Apple products are produced in Chinese Special Economic Zones (SEZs), so they have to be technically imported into China if they are sold there, and are produced with machines and labor paid for in dollars.
A lot worse than that. They didn't have 5K HDR 120fps displays and macOS has some significantly more demanding things than plain old transparency going on.
I don't know why any particular person would do it, but I don't drink to sleep.
And having the freezing point of water at exactly 0 °C is also both neat and relevant in winter. Having the boiling point (at standard pressure) at exactly 100 °C might be a bit less relevant during day-to-day life, though occasionally it's still useful.

While I don’t agree with your reasoning, I do agree with your approach. All of these laws require restricting/removing content or invasive identity verification, in order to “protect” a tiny fraction of internet users. Preventing those people from accessing the internet would be cheaper, more effective, and less problematic for the rest of the population.

The problem is that we’re assuming laws like the Online Safety Bill are about protecting children, which they aren’t.
I did some looking around, and it sounds like it fails to work correctly with namespace packages. Something about the way you have to add them to the path leads to them being later in the path, so there could be times where they don't get found because something earlier in the path gets used instead.
And, by the way, there are also many ways in which our liberal democracy doesn't work for us. Look at our breathtaking Covid death tolls. Look at our staggering inflation and energy shortages. Look at the current mass protests all across Europe over the cost of living. Look at the media censorship over the truth about the Ukraine war. I could go on and on and on.
It’s worth noting that ASHRAE ventilation standards are based on “bioeffluence” levels which may or may not correlate well to other IAQ values like CO2, VOCs, etc.
I don't think a company can fire you for not perjuring yourself in the company's defense. That would invite even bigger legal liability on them.
It comes down to project size. Small projects with a small team tend to be fine. Bigger ones tend to break down a bit and the application becomes ossified because there's no safety when changing things. You can power through it but productivity takes a nose dive. The big ones that stay on Ruby tend to invent typing like things to solve the issue.

for painting, richard schmid's alla prima is probably the best starting place. i also think the preface alone is something every aspiring artist would greatly benefit from reading. plein air and figure drawing sessions are a very good way to dive into your local art scene on top of being one of the best ways to learn.

I'll pedantically remind the audience that type inference dates back to the 70s and has been present in the industry at least since the 90s.

But in truth, you're right. Very few people know/cared about type inference at the time.

The Tesla system was approved by the relevant authorities or they would not be able to drive them in the US.
If the system was required to nag the driver by law and didn’t then it is a breach of the law. If the system is imperfect, know to be so and approved that way I see no foul play.

If the law isn’t good, change the law.

Another reason not to work for the government. Even if it doesn't pass, just considering a bill like this is odd. I would hate to be at a mercy of politicians when private sector pays better.

When I was doing my CS degree, I went to a job fair for the feds. During a presentation they were making a student asked, "are you still drug testing programmers?", instant chuckles all around. The presenter said they are pretty strict and you have to be drug free 12 months prior to submitting your application. I talked to multiple people who attended and the sentiment was "yeah, I'm not interested".

It is so weird to me to give up talent because they smoke pot. I don't use any recreational drugs myself but so many of my college buds used variety of drugs. Some of them were exceptional team mates.
Given the statute of limitations on some crimes, I'm surprised they don't rotate out zero days and bulk prosecute a bunch of people using the same one. With a big case they're willing to burn one exploit, why not do the same for ten cases?
I'm wondering what data really drives the back-and-forth at big tech. We've seen google, amazon, microsoft, meta, etc.. do hiring freezes, then layoffs. Hiring freeze, then back open, or layoffs then more layoffs later.

I would expect a longer term plan than just looking forward or backwards one quarter which seems like what has been happening the last year. I would assume they had better information and insights than common investors, but the activity out of these companies in relation to hiring and layoffs has seemed to be as sudden as people changing their stock allocations.
Well, in 2005, you didn't.

- this only concerns 5 - 10% of all hypertension patients

- ~50% of adult Americans have hypertension

- scanning all medication-non-responders (= people suffering from "resistant hypertension") and operating on all of them to remove the causative nodules sounds like quite the tall order

- doctors won't just suddenly start sending all the resistant hypertension patients to CTs to diagnose this cause, instead they will continue to escalate their patients anti-hypertensive medication, i.e. adding an aldosterone antagonist to the three other maximum dosage blood pressure lowering medications the patient already takes.

- this might become an option for people suffering from resistant hypertension that are receiving expensive, excellent state of the art treatment

There should have at least some oversight.

The physics behind building an enduring soap bubble
Sure, I know that. But sometimes you don't have a choice because the decision was made years earlier by someone else, and you obviously won't rewrite a 1M LOC codebase.

Nevertheless, after spending a year writing Rust, I'd take Rust over Java for just any use case now, even including CRUDs and GUIs (actually doing a GTK GUI for a Rust app right now, and it is not any worse in terms of dev speed than Java Swing was, despite what people say about callbacks - I really don't mind an occasional Rc/Refcell/clone here and there).
To elaborate on this: Rust always performs bounds checks on array accesses, so you can't get an out-of-bound read/write.
Yep.

Better for car pollution, better for urban house prices, better for the cost of gas, better for families/kids, and better for rural communities (as people move out of cities, and take their relatively high salaries/disposable income with them).

It does cause a short term shift as downtown support businesses (e.g. coffee shops, food, etc) have to move closer to where people live. But that is largely a return to what was normal 50 years ago anyway.
Ahh... politics... the fine art of scoring points without actually ever accomplishing anything...
How is it annoying? To be fair, we’re fronting our gRPC service with a AWS LB that terminates TLS (so our gRPC is plaintext), so we don’t deal with certs as direct dependencies of our server.
On of the next big things will be the next GPS, internet and other services that Starlink will make possible. Who knows how long it will take but I get the notion that Tesla can fix a lot of their problems in a production cycle or two and still have killer features to set it apart.

Did you read the article? They allude to reasons. FedGov owns a lot of space in DC and their presence drives a lot of the city's economy, like staffers stopping at Starbucks, etc. The DC Mayor has been asking for many buildings back to be repurposed for housing or other uses, too.

And there is the perception that remote workers aren't working that hard, so somehow this is the fiscally responsible thing, despite the fact that ditching a lot of overheads could save the gub'mnt tons of money. It's not like the GOP thought they worked that hard to begin with...

Lastly there is the "wag the dog" idea that this generates clicks and controversy while other bills, like those funding the IRS, or those that would improve minimum wage limits, languish quietly.

Also, what's the average age in congress? To paraphrase a 60 year old I know, "this sounds like more Boomer Management".

I like the idea of dumb phones, but I don't want to have to buy separate things like a digital camera, GPS, mp3 player, etc. Seems like it's just adding more complexity.
My experience of mypy is that, even with the most restrictive settings, it's still quite weak with respect to all reasonably strongly typed languages I've used (e.g. anything at least as strongly typed as Java).

YMMV
You can say "Use a VPN"... However on multiple VPN providers, Tiktok blocks those endpoints. Instead of the Tiktok feed, you get a rude 403 error for any page.

Its relevant because if current setup for people in various scenarios is working great more folks can compare their requirement relevant to them. They may decide to go for newer version which can be even better or buy older version if available and save some money in process.
> everyone moves to soldered RAM by 2030

This would be really horrible, and I hope it never happens. I was just readin up on CAMMᵃᵇ, and to me, CAM looks really promising. It solves the challenges with SODIMM, and the article says:

> We mentioned the faster DDR5 speeds above, but it is thought that CAMM could really take off when DDR6 arrives. Another appealing variation might be for adding LPDDR(6) memory to laptops. Traditionally LPDDR memory is soldered, so the new spring contact fitting modules might mean much better upgradability for the thinnest and lightest devices which tend to use LPDDR memory.

I'd like to see legislation passed (even if at the state/regional/provincial level) that forces laptop (and other device) manufacturers to use user-replaceable CAMM memory modules instead of solder-on modules (unless solder-on memory is absolutely needed/justified by a high technical need for it – and the bar for this should be high). Similar legislation for batteries, device screens, etc. – mandate standard interfaces and easy replacibility.

This will likely increase BOM, but it shouldn't add more than $10 to the overall average retail price of various devices.

The Arc browser has something like this with their Capture + Easels feature (example of this post: https://arc.net/e/A6D1FE0C-063A-4500-8D19-46581D16181E), and it supposedly does update.

Truth be told, I have no clue how the live-updating feature works when I share an Easel but it does capture the page as I see it

Edit: It does change on my local "Easel" almost instantly with my reply, but we'll see if that screenshot updates for others. A little experiment, I guess.
Agreed. The comments in the other threads are missing the point. The law specifically prohibited praying for people getting abortions. The intent was to stop the loud verbal agressive prayers. The police interpreted it to include silent prayer, and a court agreed. Silent prayer is now illegal in parts of the UK. Her conviction had nothing to do with harassment.
Apple seems far more stable.
My guess is:

The `(T, bool)` that gets returned is friendly towards optimization.

If you don't use the bool, the overflowing arithmetic is reduced to efficient arithmetic which is overflowing by default. If you do use the bool, the generated code contains one extra instruction.
For driving you need to pay taxes, pollution tests, fees, buy insurance, vision tests, and take a written test and a driving test. And continuously update your license and registration. All this is before you can drive. And there are road rules too.

If we have free transport, can we at least require minimum rules for safety?

E.g., no open drug use and harassing others.

Rely on holy spirits for safety is not an answer.

The most pressing problem with WFH is national security work, which requires government employees to come on site to work in secure facilities. Think CIA analysts in charge of producing reports on Russian troop movements based on signal intercepts and satellite imagery. IMO these positions should pay more than private sector equivalents (if they exist) and cover all commuting costs, but I don't know to what extent these perks are within the discretion of agencies or Congress.
Every Big Tech collects bad hires and these are the best times to get rid of them.

Additionally, there are competitors (Microsoft's xCloud, NVidia's GeForce NOW) that side-step the problem of Stadia's ecosystem. xCloud is only available with Microsoft's all-you-can-eat, Netflix-style game subscription service (and generally only plays games available on that service), while GFN works with a user's existing digital library. Stadia seemingly offered the worst of all options: games had to be purchased at full price through Google's storefront, could not be played locally, and required Google's streaming back-end to be available.

GDP already isn't used as the only indicator of economic health (don't know about "primary"). But some British people invented a philosophy called degrowth as a way of explaining how their country's falling real incomes are good actually, and calling for it to be the official policy is pretty worrying.

This is different from America, where people briefly got into degrowth after reading The Population Bomb, but mostly got it out of their system after noticing none of it actually came true.

(Economic growth does not actually use more resources like the idea implies. That's not efficient since you have to pay for the resources. It uses the same ones more productively.)

So you go a hour + without the ability to make phone calls or return texts? Can you dial 911 on your laptop if an emergency happens while on the way to the coffee shop? Does the coffee shop not have Wi-Fi or do you not use public Wi-Fi? How much is the additional data line for your laptop? Is it just data or voice too?
Agreed.

There are a few weak studies that “suggest” a “possible association” between some PFAS chemicals and some specific health outcomes. Far from a robust evidence corpus as you seem to believe and as propagated by the usual suspect from the press.

Those papers are almost always cited out of context, especially the one from the USAF from 1973. The concentrations on this one were gigantic and were based on an animal model, not on actual human outcomes in the real world with realistic exposure values.

Study after study with workers dealing directly with the substance has failed to find any mortality effect. Other studies like the one pointing to a slight impact on birth weight failed to account for that the results are most likely out to be primarily a confounding effect, in that pregnant mothers with reduced kidney function tend to have higher blood serum levels of PFAS, as well as babies with lower birth weight, so PFAS doesn’t cause the lower birth weight.

The studies on immune function with high concentrations of PFAS substances failed to find a causal link, and even then, it was done with a sense that has been largely phased out of industrial use.

Let's not forget that organization at the forefront of the PFAS scare, the EWG (Environmental Working Group), is an NGO behind other dubious scaremongering activism like linking vaccines to autism. The modus operandi and the conspiracy theory link and moral outrage are the same, but this scare is more palatable for a progressive public. Still, the PFAS scare is currently, based on the current scientific evidence, as baseless as the anti-vax crowd arguments.
