The Snap app literally destroyed my Nexus 5 phone. After installing it, the battery overheated and the screen glitched out. That was the last of that, and most social apps in general.
It's obviously a feature appreciated by people addicted to using their phone while driving.
This comment doesn't track for me. I'm not an expert, but I don't think you're using the term elective like a Doctor would - I believe they refer to that for surgeries that aren't really emergent and can be done as desired, like joint replacements, for instance. And I don't think private insurance has ever covered purely cosmetic surgeries. I assume there is also some cosmetic surgery that is medically advisable for quality of life even if it's not strictly necessary that might be covered in private or public systems.

I'm also pretty sure that medical debt is dis-chargeable; it's student debt that is essentially permanent in the US.

I can agree that profit motives for healthcare are probably inherently problematic.
These are both terrible comments (IMHO) because they tantalise the reader (the coder knew why they did this mysterious thing!) but don't actually really explain why this is necessary or how this mysterious thing actually addresses the messy reality involved. The problem might just be that it's an unrealistic example.
It probably doesn't, but if it does, it could be used to send messages back in time. Relativity doesn't care how something goes FTL, it's just really clear there's no room for "FTL but not time travel" unless you introduce some odd and unphysical-seeming extra restrictions on the universe.

The real 6th platonic solid is the 24-cell, which only exists in 4 dimensions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ7uOj2LRso

If it could actually exist in 3D, it would fit somewhere between the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrakis_hexahedron.
It's work like this that makes me frustrated at the popular discourse around generative models (especially here). There's a ton we don't know about these models, and yet you get tons of people arguing that these models absolutely don't memorize, or that they learn like we do and so their learning should be treated like ours (legally and ethically). Then you get work like this showing that yes they actually do some memorization and regurgitation. There's still so much we don't know here.

My fear is that when things like this come up for lawsuits, overconfident experts are going to talk out of their asses about how these models do or don't work, and that's going to determine how automation affects our society.

On a technical level, I'd love to see a patch-wise version of this investigation. This shows whole images being regurgitated near-exactly rarely. I expect that small part-of-the-image patches are regurgitated even more often. But is it simple stuff like edges being regurgitated or are larger parts regurgitated frequently too? Given the architectures generally used, I'd guess that it's significant.

Kids play outside on the sidewalk/street in urban Chicago? I've never been to Chicago, but my wife went to school at University of Chicago, and she says she never saw any such thing. The area around the university is pretty rough, but still. And I'm in downtown Portland all the time, and no, there are no kids playing on the sidewalk/street. Not even in the little urban parks, or at least very, very few.
This is misunderstanding the point. Code cannot lie. Reading code (correctly) gives you a correct understanding of the state of the system, no matter how clear or unclear it is.

Reading comments only tells you what the person who wrote the comment believed. It does not tell you anything in particular about how the system behaved, you have to trust the other human beings (in general a long succession of them) to have understood it correctly. And any one of you can mess that up.

Saying good comments have value is fine. But their ability to lie is unique; code doesn't have that misfeature. You can't make comments lie-free by fiat, for the same reason that you can't train your developers not to write bugs.

Given that, IMHO comments have limited value. Don't be a zealot in either direction, but when debugging hard problems, train yourself to ignore the lying comments.
Broadcast shortwave (and long wave) uses Amplitude Modulation, the term "AM" has been hijacked in some forms of English to mean "medium wave" but it's not what it means to radio engineers etc. I can't complain because I regularly refer to VHF broadcasts as FM ;-)

BTW in addition to shortwave BBC World Service broadcasts (or provides material for rebroadcast by local operators) in : Long Wave; VHF; DAB and Satellite.
Many companies softly announce an intention to do something to guage how their users will react, then adjust course based on the response. Netflix has been doing that, and people spoke up. Now that they finally committed and have rolled this out, of course the people who spoke up (and probably many more that didn't care until it was actually rolled out) will speak out against this.

Nobody is "pretending" that this came out of the blue. That train of thought is just as disingeous as expecting people to stay silent and cancel their subscriptions over what may not end up becoming policy.
This is probably one of the most important considerations, pretty much all of Finland’s recent military hardware updates even prior to the NATO bid was sought out for intentional compatibility with NATO.

The Finnish as a culture are pretty pragmatic in my experience.
This can be a good fast/local test or maybe a sanity test ... but there are definitely differences between databases that need to be accounted for. You wanna take that green test pass with a bit of skepticism. So you always want to test on the same DB engine that is running your prod workloads. If your surface area is small, you can get by with the approach you mentioned, but it would need to be marked tech debt that should be paid down as soon as possible, or as soon as that bug that manifests itself in PSQL but not sqlite appears :)
>In the late 80s, there was an idea floated that every file could have a sister file with comments, such that they would not need to be parsed/discarded by a parser. This would aid in generating documentation, among other tooling.

This sounds a lot like the director's commentary tracks on DVDs. No one ever watched those, and the sister-comment-file would flop the same way if anyone really tried it. A separate file is fine for documenting overall design, but for detailing sections of code, the commentary needs to be close to it, where people will see it.
Odysee is also a good choice 'along' with Rumble.

As far as I know, Odysee also has many 3D printed gun manufacturing channels with design specs posted on odysee itself.
As Odysee deals with Video, Audio, Image, Text Files it becomes easier for 3D printed gun channels.

I'd bet money you couldn't tell the difference in a blind test
Yeah I lost the interest awhile ago after over 25 years in the industry. I grew up with computers being my whole world well through into my 30's, started on a TI99/4a.

I'm now a independent contractor that works about 40 hours a month, but I am not enjoying it. I still really enjoying tinkering (I have an Unraid server that I spend a lot of time messing with Dockers and VM's, etc) and technology news and advancements, but the daily grind of making someone else rich is old and tired, just like how I feel haha.

I started building a new career on the side that I started as a side hustle several years ago and it's finally starting to become viable as an income replacement. I really enjoy it, I can't even call it "work", because it doesn't feel like work, it's just something I want to do. I guess it's the difference between doing something you want to do, vs doing something you feel you have to do. It pays a lot less, but has the potential for more later on. I'd be happy to do this for the rest of my life and never retire (and I should be able to manage into old age, barring anything major), so I don't worry about the money aspect much. I could likely quit the IT now, but it greases the wheels, but I will likely cut it down to only the occasional project this year.

I'm not sure i'd call it a craving (I spend a lot of time on it, but certainly not all my time), I like playing video games, other hobbies like reading and journaling, going out to dinner and walks with friends, etc.

Not sure what my advice is, but maybe consider scaling your hours back, and filling that time again with side projects. I know I certainly would not have the energy anymore to do IT full time, as well as devote my time to a side project again.
In cobol it wasn’t dynamic, or infinite. The syntax of the array/table declaration includes a maximum and it would allocate the entire array statically up to the max.
There's social modeling suggesting that simple ideas (anger etc) dominate in overly-connected networks. That's why the friction you mention is important. This has bothered me for a long time, so I made the opposite of Artifact a while back: https://www.recents.cc

You follow a few people, and you get whatever links they post, no algo or frontpage. You repost good stuff, so a link can travel several hops to someone, but it must have been filtered through a friend. Kinda like real life. In the time that I've used it with my friends, I've seen a nice balance of mainstream and niche stuff in my feed.

HN is great too, but it's a niche.
I use it. It’s decently well-designed and follows Ubuntu LTS, which I need because that’s what CTFs typically use.
> “Throughout the years, what I saw was that every time we use machine learning to improve the consumer experience, things got really good really quickly,” he said.

Here we can see their concept of quality..

> Systrom also told me Artifact will take seriously the job of serving readers with high-quality news and information. That means an effort to include only publishers who adhere to editorial standards of quality, he told me. For now, the company won’t disclose every publisher in its system, but you can search for individual outlets within the app.

Here they say they will make an effort to maintain quality. Which means: over the roof engagement and sales of advertisement.

Laying Off People (2021)
Employer subsidized health insurance does not mean all employers are self insuring. I do not see any link between employers caring or not caring about employee safety and employers being able to offer a tax free subsidized health insurance to employees.

>Currently, employers more-or-less do a good job complying with OSHA regulations. Far better than complying with, say, EPA regulations, or ADA regulations.

Why would you think this?

In my opinion, everyone should have been dumped onto healthcare.gov to prevent the hoarding of healthier people into the risk pools of rich, white collar businesses.
Learn the hiragana and Katakana on your own, then use JapanesePod101.com material.

This is not a paid commercial or sponsorship. I haven't used the site in years.

But, the material at JapanesePod101 really bootstrapped my learning and helped me progress from beginner to advanced beginner.

The other thing that you can't do without is conversation with native speakers. In my case I went to physical language exchange meetups, but if you can find online ways to do it, that should work too.

The great thing about podcasts is you can listen to it while walking/commuting/etc.

To be quite honest it can be quite an overwhelming endavour, and it's very easy to think "f this I give up I don't care about this anymore".

Physiucal language exchange events help give you an "anchor" so that your learning has a purpose: you're meeting people and having positive social experiences with them.
You don’t, and this is why “build an MVP to validate demand” is only directly applicable to B2B SaaS.

Some of the concepts are still relevant though - focus on the core gameplay loop before spending big on artwork, continual private playtesting as early as possible, etc etc. I think most of the success boils down to having a good sense of what’s fun.
Microsoft make so many obvious and actively painful mistakes almost daily, so its weird to see an article clutch onto something more tenuous like "I feel like Microsoft are focusing on the wrong features".

That said, I would probably pick Java over C#, so maybe I'm biased.
> The majority of people should go to urgent care for routine stuff

Most medical providers would advise against this. Managing someone's health is not the same thing as changing the oil in a car. It's immensely helpful for the medical provider to develop a working relationship with the patient and understand the person's conditions and medications.
The question is, will the legal system see this software as equivalent to your brain?

Anthropomorphizing this software seems problematic.
Agreed on that. My point here was only that we would need more details. I could see this being better than you portrayed. I could also see it being worse. :)
Joseph Goldberger's Filth Parties
If we're bringing accenting into this (as with ghoti, that uses the "o" from "women"), then syllabaries are far from optimal as well, since Japanese has different ways of accenting each word that are not encoded into the syllabaries themselves. You then end up with having to memorize a vast array of combinations and how they work in different context. So it's not really a syllabary but an alphabet with more letters. Which is totally fine, but then calling it a syllabary creates confusion since people expect to be able to pronounce words easily, which they can't with only the word written (just like with "women" or "ghoti").

Kanjis are not a syllabary, they're originally ideograms but they're not really, some of them "make sense", some don't really. So they become mostly another layer of mapping symbols to meaning, except this time you have tens of thousands that can't be decomposed properly into smaller parts (like words with letters), which is terrible for many reasons.

On the other hand kanjis offer you the opportunity to play around with different meanings, in a way that you just can't in English. That makes Japanese richer and more interesting, at the cost of being a harder language. I'm glad both exist.
Heroku was so nice "back in the day", it was expensive but served me well. I started having some issues before the acquisition so I moved away. I guess I was lucky for that.

They must have had some billing problem because I got charged for months after stopping everything, I was able to block the charges at the credit card level but they kept trying and I never had any answer nor explanation from them.
maybe using a laptop with a docking setup on each workplace would be ideal. Just set up a nice ergonomic workstation, connecting all the peripherals to a dock, and when you come to work there, just plug in the laptop to the dock and start working.
>Perhaps not writing any code comments is an interesting exercise

It's an interesting exercise very similar to the infamous Perl one-liners from the 2000s.

>but I think it might work much better in small siloed projects

The problem here is that those "small, siloed" projects frequently get out of their silos and become bigger and more important than originally envisioned. Then all the new people looking at it have no idea what it's doing.

> I've noticed a strain of people that claim that it sounds good.

I would say it sounds good, exactly; I can notice a difference between it and, say, listening to a high quality recording from a USB stick. But I wouldn't say it's intolerably terrible, either. Is it that you literally can't hear music, just noise? Or is it that you can hear music, but with other noise overlaid on top of it?

The point of going to your provider's urgent care is that those links are already present. They're all working off the same charts.
My only complaint / concern is how "wasted" the I/O potential of the FW board is. It has an incredible total of 4 USB4™ ports, each of those can do 40 Gbit/s bi-directional of USB/DP/PCIe. Lots of potential: eGPU, fast external storage, fast networking, docking solutions, ...

Here, two of these ports are used for the side displays, one for a 4-port USB-A hub, and one is apparently exposed to the outside via some right-angle adapter, intended as power input.

Even tho the "power input" could probably be used for a dock or similar, just one USB-C and 4 USB-A is a bit lame for I/O.

Maybe they could've tried to power both side displays from one port by using a dual-DP hub to have one more exposable USB-C port; and/or replace the 4xUSB-A hub with a dock with more features - ethernet, video out and an SD card reader would be useful
Yeah, now only 50-75% of the comments here are anti-comment. I'm not sure that's a huge help, but I guess every little big counts.
Yes, but people typically think of expenses as more or less operating expenses.
Testing library and service dependencies is similar in theory. The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there isn't one.

I assure you, I am a real person, generally sitting adjacent to people whose code I'm reviewing, or who review my code.

The projects are complex because the business needs are complex. This criticism is the 'I could build Twitter in a weekend, why does it have five thousand people working on it, anyways?'

I, like most people, have plenty of opinionated preferences on the subject of Intellij and Eclipse, but I'm not going to drive any broad conclusions regarding their impact on a product's test coverage. And I will postulate that most attempts to do so reduce down to cargo-culting. It was an example of a largely irrelevant technical decision, and I think it's telling that you are latching onto it.

And it's not disabling tests for security, it's disabling security for tests, as a distressingly common example of a routinely undertested interaction between two complicated spaces.
> I don't know the fatal oral dose

Probably the reason most OTC potassium supplements (ones sold in the US at least) have FAR less potassium in a single tablet than a banana.

It's basically impossible for a adult with healthy function to overdose themselves on potassium with bananas (or coconut water, or avocados) before getting full, but with the tablets it would be much easier to abuse them if they contained even 1 banana's worth per tablet.

You can't attach a debugger to the comments and figure out why your code is calculating that the circumfrence of a circle with radius 1 is 6 rather than 6.28...

pi = 3 isn't a lie, it's the truth of the program regardless of what any comment says.
One caution with PostgreSQL, CTEs under some circumstances (and in all circumstances, prior to PostgreSQL 12) act as optimization barriers. Specify `NOT MATERIALIZED` before the CTE definition to ensure that they are optimized same as a sub-SELECT would be.
Another thing that stands in the way is a culture that punishes wrong answers.

You either know the answer for certain or you keep your mouth shut.
Thanks! I hadn't though of splitting chrome profiles before. I don't believe it would be possible as the app stands now but something to consider in future.
AM in radio context means amplitude modulation - it’s the modulation, has nothing to do with the band. In common everyday layperson context it means all of medium-wave terrestrial broadcast.

But even commercial pilots know their radios are AM for instance.
A small friction point is that middle click, ctrl-click, and right-click / open in new tab are all unavailable to access details for a knife. If I wanted to compare a few results, I'd prefer to open details in new tabs. Sometimes that's a nice way to put a pin in one thing and compare it to another thing that comes up in a different search. A select-to-compare option that opens a table (optionally in a new tab!) can also work okay if it's done well but that's a lot more work and not necessarily the level of reduction in load on your end that pencils out to being worth the effort.

Otherwise, functional features would be awesome! Folding/fixed should be at the top of that list.
