>Southwest hasn’t coped with changing expectations

TBF the amount of rapid change that consumer-facing technology has undergone has been crazy. The idea of making some boring, reliable, maintainable, high-traffic, and high-importance piece of software that lasts for decades isn't easy. You have to do this without new developers joining, seeing all of your "old" stuff, and having them jump ship. Not to mention if the technology company behind your old stuff decides to abandon it.
Tone aside, thanks for the feedback. It doesn't excite me to hear my comment came across that way, but I'm trying to clarify what was a misinterpretation of what I was trying to say.

> I believe your argument comes down to “computers are super powered compared to humans doing the same thing”? Is that accurate?

No, that doesn't really touch it. The speed/power disparity between humans/computers at certain tasks are certainly a factor to consider, but the more fundamental point I was trying to make is much simpler: "computers and humans are fundamentally different, so let's stop building arguments on the mis-belief that they are the same".

> Because magnitude of ability, to me, makes no difference at all.

What is your position on autonomous AI weapons? Does that position change when there's a human in the loop? If such weapons were suddenly available to everyone, would that be functionally no different than allowing people to own firearms or baseball bats?

> It’s perfectly acceptable for a human to study the artwork of a specific person and then create their own works based on that style. Why wouldn’t it be the same for an automated process?

I'd turn that question around: why would it be the same for an automated process?

It is perfectly acceptable for a human to shoot an intruder entering their home in most states if they believe their life is in danger. An AI-controlled gun would be far more effective (I wouldn't even have to wake up!), but is clearly in a different category.

Is a human sitting on a neighborhood bench in view of your house the same thing as a surveillance camera on a nearby telephone pole? I think the answers to this question are useful when looking at the emerging issues of AI, at least to orient our basic instincts about what feels ok vs. what doesn't.

The AI software has only "learned" in the sense that it has operated on the input data such that it can now provide outputs that are of convincingly high quality to make it appear to "know" what it is doing.

Whatever the similarities, such learning lacks the vast majority of the context and contents of what a humans learns by viewing the same image, such that the word "learn" means something fundamentally different in each situation.
They should regulate based on the vehicles mass versus its fuel type if they want to make a dent on local air pollution. Tire dust alone contributes 2000x the particulate emissions as the tailpipe.

Wrong implies that there's a right way to tip and that it isn't just a way for employers to get away with paying employees less.
This is the biggest difference between the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Church - the Roman one (the Eastern Orthodox Church is also a Catholic Church!) always meddles with Caesar!
It's easy to remember if you apply the operation to whole number line instead of trying to remember the cases.

There are only 2 cases either you truncate to zero or you floor to negative infinity.

The zero behavior breaks the symmetry to help remember.

n * truncate(a/n) + rem(a,n) = a
n * floor(a/n) + mod(a,n) = a

Now suppose that "a" is any real, a/n shared by both. however truncate and floor will do different things to the negatives.

truncate "moves" numbers to zero
..............................................................
>>.>>.>>.>>.>>.>>.>>.>>.>>.>>0<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<

while floor "moves" number to -inf
..............................................................
<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<0<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<.<<

when we then multiply by n its clear the positive "a" is the same however for negative a floor < truncate and so mod is positive while rem is negative

for a < 0 : floor (a/n) < truncate(a/n) unless n divides a then they are =

The other case is for negative n, but that just flips the division and multiplication twice which has the effect of changing floor to ceiling and truncate to zero be truncate away from zero which flips the mod sign, but leaves rem alone, because its symmetric about zero.

It would be cool if you could somehow integrate twitch chat into it. Like maybe the characters mention keywords from the chat, or there could be like some screen that displays chat messages somewhere and the characters react.
I have three BEV chargers at my home now. i didnt need to change a thing to my “built in 2000 to code” home to do this, as it “came out of the box” w/ 200 amp service.

My chevy bolt will charge at 8a (conservative) or 12a (“fast”) at my preference. It takes maybe 3-4 hours over night to charge from my average driving day with a decent commute.

My car consumes, while charging for a few hours overnight, about the same amps as a good clothing iron or a beefy vacuum. If i wanted, i could delay charge so three EV charged overnight, never draeing power at the same time.

My next car will buffer power so solar cells can overcharge and supply back to the house. And it will be a backup power supply for storms and grid outages so I no longer need a standby generator.

Tell me again about how the grid isnt ready for my BEVs and why we should be pumping some liquid or gas into tanks?

I made a programming puzzle game that got overwhelmingly positive reviews by the very few people who downloaded it: 42 five-star reviews over 45 total.

I think that anyone who likes hard puzzles and spending many hours/days to solve some levels will enjoy it.

Also, if one happens to be a programmer that struggles with recursion, I think the game might help with that regard, but being a programmer is not a requirement to play.

This is fundamentally incorrect.

The court system's smoothness or lack thereof is the responsibility of the country's judiciary IE the government. The bar associations for each state in contrast:

-Licenses attorneys and regulates the profession and practice of law in their -respective states
-Enforces Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys
-Disciplines attorneys who violate rules and laws
-Administers the California Bar Exam
-Advances access to justice
-Promotes diversity and inclusion in the legal system

EG they're trade unions and they're going to become the luddites of the 21st century.

You are correct that ISM band devices must accept interference, however jamming is illegal in the USA due to FCC regulations: https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement

Definitely start with the presumption it is illegal anywhere in the world, even though you might be able to hack around regulations to find loopholes. I think the FCC is focused on broadcast interference, safety requirements, and commercial sales of jamming devices.

Simple arcade-style game. I ran out of steam developing this. The gameplay and UI need work, but I thought the graphics were interesting. All the units are rendered as Mandelbrot and Julia sets on the GPU. Parameters are varied in real time to make the fractals look like they are moving and swimming. Another fun thing is the audio effects were made with an electric guitar. Thanks for reading :D

PayPal now supports FIDO U2F keys like the Yubikey (very recent addition, only a month or two). Unfortunately, they do it wrong and only allow to register a single key, which means you will be locked out if you break or lose it.
Not to mention I think people would also find the names of those responsible and the stench would follow their names forever.

Tire dust isn’t contributing to climate change, and air pollution from fossil fuel combustion is a known contributor to reduced life expectancy.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/06/14/air-pollution-takes-2-ye...

> Air pollution, which is primarily the result of burning fossil fuels, takes 2.2 years of the global life expectancy for each person, according to a new report out Tuesday from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).

> For comparison, that's a smidge more the decline in average life expectancy caused by smoking, more than three times that of alcohol use and unsafe water, six times that of HIV/AIDS, and 89 times that of conflict and terrorism.

Light vehicles aren’t going away (although more mass transit and cycling infra is always welcome), so requiring them be EVs is an improvement. We can then continue on to solve for tire pollution.

I wonder if the prevalence of flat head screws has something to do with ease of machinability. I imagine there's a lot of custom or obscure fasteners on boats. A flat head bolt or screw has the benefit of being able to be made with not much more than a lathe.
To me the killer language feature of Lua is tables, specifically being able to use ANYTHING as an index in a table. Really powerful. Its portability is its next feature.

Beyond that, I have grown to somewhat dislike Lua over the years due to the typical complaints, but also because it's tough to read and write. The keywords are so bulky and whitespace practices are random, requiring a linter. I actually like using brackets instead of do/then/end because brackets stand out more. When you're tossing functions around left and right, it's annoying to write out "local function" everywhere. I also am ambivalent about using metatables for implicit behavior that can be non-obvious to the code reader.

I would offer some hesitations to offer Church without knowing too much about someone or without caveats. Lots of people have religious trauma from being sexually assaulted/abused by church members or religious leaders, being ostracized for being LGBTQ or even just not performing gender strongly enough, or from being autistic/ADHD/a weirdo. When religion is good, it's a great pin to community building and mutual aid. When religion is bad it's a nightmare.

I have never tried that. How good it is?

BTW I just asked ChatGPT to create a script that deletes all branches older than 1 month for a repo, a task that took me a while to learn and complete a few weeks ago.
Google is a public company so its shareholders want the stock price to be higher ASAP. Being an unquestionable leader in AI with a product as good as ChatGPT (and maybe an image model available to the public) would help in that goal.
> Do we? We've got a guy named Wiener that has been involved in multiple sex scandals and is still in office, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Unless there's a second one, he's been out of office since 2011. There are probably examples of what you describe, but he isn't one of them.
The textbooks by Hennessy and Patterson are the definitive ones. I think every programmer would be very well served reading them. There's older editions available online for free that are perfectly adequate for understanding the big picture.
It's a thing. As with all blockchain things, it's not an efficent thing, but it exists: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/191/how-can-i-s... .

The TL;DR is that:

- Everyone playing comes up with a random number X, which is kept local for now

- X is hashed, such that HASH(X) = Y, where Y is then sent to a server where everyone can view it (aka some blockchain smart contract). Some other stuff around preventing impersonators happens as well, but the hash being sent is the important bit. This is your commitment to the game.

- When everyone has submitted their Y values, they all send in their original X values as well

- Every X values is verified such that HASH(X) = Y.

- All the X values are combined, and used as a seed to an RNG (i.e. something like concatenation, run a KDF over the concatenation, use that output as a seed to an RNG)

- Now everyone knows which player run virtual coins, without a central decision point.

Could you upload a "let's play" somewhere? it sounds interesting.
How would you do this in a generic, reusable way company-wide for any Dockerfile? Given that you don't know the targets beforehand, the names, or even the number of stages.

It is of course possible to do for a single project with a bit of effort: build each stage with a remote OCI cache source, push the cash there after. But... that sucks.

What you want is the `max` cache type in buildkit[1]. Except... not much supports that yet. The native S3 cache would also be good once it stabalizes.

Slack replaces in-person conversations, which have the same deficits, and many of the same benefits. It works best for remote and hybrid teams, where the in-person discussions aren't possible. It can even work well for in-office teams by allowing some collaboration to be more async. It's way better than email for this.

It's terrible for being off the record. All Slack should be considered durable for the employer.
I call them living buildings. Over the centuries they are remodeled and adapted countless times.

Here's a famous example from my country

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnenhof
In Australia Gerrymandering isn't even part of political discourse. An independent committee composed of the Electoral Commissioner, the state or territory Surveyor-General and the state or territory Auditor-General make the decisions. They may invite submissions from the public and political parties but they do not pander to politicians. The boundaries also generally make sense.
Good question. Thinking about it, I would choose '@'. So only when I read something like:
fn print_one<'a>(x: &'a i32)
using @
fn print_one<@a>(x: &@a i32)
I can would see it as I sort of semantically read it. Function print_one AT lifetime of a.

"Where work happens" was the funniest tagline for Slack, because it's really more of a social network that distracts people and promotes unstructured back-and-forth.

Chat engages the small percent of active participants, but neglects people who are too busy (e.g., doing work) to follow along with the streams. This is a problem at work, but also in online communities like Discord. That's why I'm working on a threaded, forum-like communication tool. I'm focused on online communities as the first use case (e.g., investor networks or professional groups), but I hope companies start to adopt it for internal communications, too. https://www.booklet.community

Related, I found the article's discussions of Jira and Trello interesting. Modern project management hates ambiguity. So, all projects need to be broken down into tasks and acceptance criteria ASAP. But, this means that you have bloated backlogs reflecting yesteryear's priorities. We conflate "not forgetting things" with "obligations", and that is where a lot of this bloat comes from.
I was talking to a colleague recently and he said PHP died when senior devs were no longer able to say, "we're building it in PHP" and be taken seriously. I think there's truth in that.

I also think it's interesting how many TS advocates seem to have popped up in this thread. I find Java to be a lovely language and I think it's fair to say generally most developers agree Java is a well designed language with a mature ecosystem backing it, but I've never met a passionate Java developer. But I hear there was a time many years ago when Java was the hot new technology in town and naming your crappy new language, "Java"Script was considered a good marketing strategy.

Most of the high-profile departures from the compiler happened in the wake of the 2018 edition (the first new edition since 1.0, and the edition that had to invent the very notion of "edition"), where a lot of people pushed themselves far too hard to deliver on what would be, in retrospect, far too aggressive of a release deadline. The edition just barely made it out in the 2018 calendar year, after getting delayed a handful of times, but it resulted in massive burnout among those contributing to its features, including the person who wrote the comment linked above. In practice Rust has actually been recovering quite nicely over the past few years after reaching a nadir of volunteer motivation in 2019; https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulse/monthly tells me that 178 discrete authors have contributed to just the rust-lang/rust repo over the past month.
I have considered this, however I'm agnostic asymptotically approaching atheist. It's not really important to me and I don't care to talk about it, but I really wouldn't want to lie about it.

While there was some stink around his departure, he's not one of the contributors I'm concerned about here. I'm thinking more of people working on deep technical issues around the language and type system.
