There was a bug that was recently fixed in node 16.17+ that was causing hard node processes crashes when doing stuff with S3 and I think had to do with receiving multiple packets at once or something.
I'll speak not for, but as one of, the agitated.

People are not agitated at the suggestion that the US did it. People are agitated because the claims are coming from Cy Hersh without remotely compelling evidence, who in the past decade or so has turned to spouting off unsubstantiated claims to carry water for Assad and Putin and shilling ridiculous Bin Laden theories and 9/11 trutherism.

I'm personally agitated because a community that is generally pretty grounded in fact and falsifiability somehow turns into a bunch of edge lord schoolboys around certain foreign affairs subjects. And it comes from the "adults" in our industry (Elon and Sacks) modeling the behavior and a lot of people in our industry mirroring it back. I'm sick of innuendo being passed off as critical thinking. Innuendo is cheap evasive sleight of hand that pollutes the information space and encourages bad faith bullshit. /rant

Old Reddit still works fine, and I’d argue better than new front end heavy Reddit. You are right it may be for the benefit developers, but Reddit isn’t complicated enough that a heavy front end provides much benefit to the users.

NYT Warns That Freedom of Speech Threatens Public Health and Democracy
Sigh. This guy can chirp about how "ChatGPT doesn't understand what it's been asked" as much as he wants but he is missing the forest for the trees.

I'll use myself as example. ChatGPT can write better than me, it can summarize better than me, it can research quicker than I can, and it is more creative than I can ever be.

I don't care if it "understands" in a way that would satisfy Nabil Alouani, its ability to produce useful output is a game-changer.
That's a lie. It started in 2012 but it took until the middle of the 2010s before they started openly threatening war. This is not some status quo situation that the US General upended. China's been escalating toward war since Xi took over. I mean before Xi it was hide your strength bide your time.
Not to disparage the work here, but my advice to "geek dads" (or any parent) is to put effort into A) researching and B) buying (paper) books that contain stories that _you_ want your children to hear.

Humans are creatures of story, and bedtime is one of the few precious moments in your child's day where you can have their entire attention in a quiet and comfortable setting. Read them something you want them to hear, ask them questions about it, and listen to their thoughts. I guarantee that you won't regret it.

For anyone interested in where to start, I highly recommend anything by Arnold Lobel, Else Holmelund Minarik, Peggy Parish, Judi Barrett, and similar authors. You'll be able to find these authors at any secondary book store for cheap or buying used on Amazon.
ARM is a company, not an architecture. They offer processor core designs in several architectures of theirs. Here:

is a list of their CPUs, and CPUs based on their work.

They also offer GPUs, e.g. the Mali line, see:

I completely agree with you, the way the Elm team handled it was not conducive to collaborate usage of their language, it was more like only they wanted to use it fully.
In some languages this is literally not possible...
Presumably if not shooting them down looks weak, then shooting them down looks competent. And playing outraged confers no advantage to China.
The previous balloon was steerable, as it could control its altitude to catch different currents.

I don't think we know enough about this "unknown object" to definitively say what it could and couldn't do.
This sounds paradoxical to me.

Using the same reasoning, a gun bullet should also be faster with higher altitude, hence have a longer range.
A lot of it seems to be FOMO driven and reactionary. Personally I don’t see what makes remix so incredible.

Lots of alternative transport things are possible in cities with 10x the population and 4x the urban density. And little farming/agra business. In a country one can drive across in a day. There is no comparison to the middle parts of North America.
That precedent already exists. Trespassing planes were shot down during the cold war, when they could be, and China knocked a US intelligence plane out of the sky over "contested" airspace (way south of China, near some of the islands they're claiming in a move to gain sovereignty over as much of the sea route via the Straight of Malacca, and sea routes to SE Asian states like Vietnam, as they can) in '01 (kinda by accident, probably, but that didn't stop them from claiming it was OK for them to do that and detaining the flight crew until an apology was issued)

It is quite easy to say “you should definitely use x” by giving examples of simple applications. however, the vast majority of examples given will turn the app into a soup if you want to do a thorough study. If you're happy with this soup, it's up to you. So enjoy your soups and stop criticizing the useful things people produce with empty arguments. If you have a worthy alternative, offer them. Please stop suggesting things like htmx as alternatives.
Not unsteerable if you have altitude control + a good model of wind patterns. This is what Project Loon[1] did and I think it's fair to assume the technology might be similar.

> Why is "if you gambled but we found out you weren't allowed to gamble, we'll take back your winnings but not give back your losses" legal?

I don't know the actual law is, but it could be that the customer is the one who committed the crime of illegal gambling. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if keeping his winnings is legal or illegal, if the gambler brings suit he puts himself in legal jeopardy and I don't think the courts will enforce contracts associated with illegal activities (e.g. a hitman can't go to court to force his client to pay).
https://bearblog.dev seems like a good alternative for simple, clean, good looking blogs. Prioritizes quick loading and efficient web design.
Security is the job of the operating system, not applications. The seK4 kernel makes it possible to build operating systems that actually enforce security, rather than hope applications do the right thing.

The problem with compliance is that it is pseudoscientific. There is no independent oversight: all regulation and tools are promoted by compliance companies selling those tools. There is no penalty for punishing innocent. There is no reasonable cost. More is always better. There is no court to complain or a channel to opt out.

It's a bit like antivirus on PCs: it is sold to you as a scareware but in practice is snakeoil not really effective against any modern virus or trojan. You stil bear the cost of your PC slowing down 25%.

Here is a good Forbes post by David Birch on the topic:

While many modern suburbs have embraced townhomes and other denser form-factors, they have other strategies that result in taking up a lot of space - parking lots, massive wide right-of-way, Euclidean zoning blocking local shops, and heavily redundant road-ways, like arteries that have no development around them at all, just a sidewalk then a fence then some trees and a ditch and then the local road. Every person trying to walk to the artery to catch transit has to cross that.

In an old streetcar suburb, the only road wider than 3 cars were the arteries, and those arteries would still be lined with homes if not shops.

Would a smaller balloon fly lower? Seems likely.
It might be for a small-time thief, but the more likely scenario is that they ship it to China (like they already do when they snatch an activation-locked phone and sell it for parts) and get $100 now, and the long-running shops in China do the long-term inventory for these phones instead of disassembling them for parts.
These sites typically operate using deposits/withdrawals in cryptocurrency.
Seeing what "low-code" people can accomplish with WordPress is both horrifying and amazing.
There's a weird set of specifications with this one since they seem to be making a distinction between the balloon last week and whatever this is;

* Flying at 40k feet altitude

* Size of a small car

* Not manned

* Didn't appear to be maneuverable

* Shot down with an AIM-9X heatseaking missile

What could that be? Also, seems premature to assume China again when Russia is far closer to the Alaskan coast and just as antagonistic.

First off, I do get recommendations from substack whenever I subscribe to a substack It gives me a recommendation list.

I'll take your question even further back: Why did Blogger drop the ball? Was it just that Google lost interest? (most likely, google loses interest pretty quickly - it's kind of an ADHD company)
If a couple percent of cars were in this kind of system, they'd be waiting all over. It would be much less than 20 minutes. They could even set up equivalent "stations" where there's almost always a car parked within a couple blocks and it can get there before you do.

I don't go on a lot of long-term trips, but if I did that would still be a reason to get one car for a household instead of multiple. For rarer trips I would be happy to have a rental drive itself to my house.

If you mean day trips, then none of those issues are notable with a competent self-driving fleet except "one bag", but I don't think I've ever needed more than one bag for a day trip...
> and VDOM was just the easiest way to implement it without sacrificing performance too much.

Kind of. Virtual DOM nodes are extremely lightweight compared to real DOM nodes, so manipulating a VDOM to determine what updates need to be done to the DOM, instead of doing all interactions/comparisons directly with the DOM, had a big performance boost.
QGIS has python bindings that are thin wrappers over the C++ bindings. It works well enough that a complete noob like me was able to use it.
This is exactly how Rust's proc macros work.
Indeed this is one of the challenges of hiring front end for SSR apps. There's now a whole generation of front end engineers who have never had to build a plain old SSR html page, and never had to use or read any language other than JS. Learning this style of development is starting from scratch for them. Yes SSR is a radically simpler stack, but not until you learn it. And you probably need to learn at least on more language.

Open source can be different from "free as in beer" but certainly not different other than as a philosophical/marketing thing from "free as in freedom" as the FSF uses the libre term.

I may generally prefer permissive licenses but I certainly don't see how the GPL, for example, doesn't enable access to source code--though it may sometimes discourage participation in development.
Theory: China is sending a variety of “objects” into US airspace to a) see how quickly they are detected and b) to see how they eventually are destroyed. The US is sending in the F-22 because it has the smallest radar cross section in the arsenal, along with extensive electronic warfare capabilities that would permit it to blind the Chinese device before its destruction, thus limiting Chinese knowledge of the defensive capabilities.

If there is to be a war in the Taiwan Strait, China needs to know which offensive objects it can hurl at Taiwan without detection. And for those objects that will be destroyed, it wants to know the parameters: timing, detection distance, etc. Any war over Taiwan will be conducted with many autonomous flying vehicles of different types.

Your response to tiny was a 60MWe reactor, your response to inefficient was to ignore burnup and cite a 28% thermal efficiency (when new utility thermal generation is in the 40-60% range), your response to highly enriched was to cite a reactor of a completely different design from a different program to the one you were talking about, your response to cost was that it was 'only' $5/W more expensive than an unspecified alternative (but that's not including all the soft costs), and your response about China's program was what they said they would do in 2021 (right after failing to do what they said they'd do by 2020) rather than what they are actually doing which is building far fewer than they did in the late 2000s and early 2010s for more money per reactor, your response to plutonium production was to cite reactors built (mostly by russia) for geopolitical dominance and countries that built them for weapons programs which were later stopped or to keep short-term nuclear weapons capability (like Japan).

None of it was an honest response or supported your initial proposal. None of it responded to my points

> Acknowledging opposing views is one of the key things you learn in academic and argumentative writing

That is the thing, isn't it? It isn't normal for Bret to use those skills when talking politics. In the 2016 era it would be much more in the vein to refuse to debate racism and condemn inequitable treatment. Possibly with a comparison to the fall of the golden age of the Islamists or the collapse of Rome as their tolerance for internal minorities wavered or something.

This represents a bit of a move in how I've seen Bret approaches culture war topics. He's supporting the view instead of denigrating it. He must be quite worried about the issue to take this position.

EDIT I typed up a response to a now-deleted comment. I'll include it here:

He literally says "For what it is worth, my own view is that too many universities use DEI paperwork as a lame replacement for the actual work of trying to reach a wider range of students".

We've got an academic posting on his blog that "others" think this is a political litmus test of, effectively, academics. Does he believe this conspiracy theory? Well it is complicated! He's just telling you what "others" think. He does think DEI is lame. He's doing a lot of work here to get these uncited "other" ideas into the conversation.

He is in the perfect position to call bullshit if this view was false, because these are allegedly a political litmus tests targeted at his community. The fact that he is putting that the ideas are lame and amplifying the idea that they might be political loyalty tests is a wildly supportive position for him given his usual approach to politics.
Low-performers are not relevant to this discussion.

The accusation is that the companies hired more people than they knew what to do with / could apply productively in their business.

If such a basic task is beyond the capability of decisionmakers, who is to say that they are capable of collecting the feedback from rank-and-file employees required to assess who needs firing?

Mangers have many concerns apart from Performance, suppose we have Steve and Bob, and Bob is 50% more productive than Steve, but Steve is in the middle of delivering a critical project, millions of dollars are on the line. Meanwhile Bob is in between projects, and today they decided they must fire some staff, who do you think will get fired?

Also, is performance one metric? Suppose Steve writes worse code, but the business folks love his presentations, he is really good at explaining the issues facing the team. They can put Steve in front of a corporate client and win business. They never see much of Bob, even thought he is doing most of the 'real' work, so who is more valuable?

Unless you are dealing with someone totally incompetent, these questions are usually 'which skillset do we need most' and they are not so simple.
Maybe not. But honestly, they're so massive and slow and visible, and visibly loitering over sensitive sites, that they practically scream "shoot me down". There must be some advantage gleaned from it, because they can't reasonably have expected anything else to have happened.
I mean, not wanting commercial solar farms in your back yard seems like one of the more reasonable things to not want in your back yard. Especially when aesthetically pleasing (if less efficient) rooftop solar fits the bill nicely.
Oh yeah, that'll definitely do it. Our prior policy was to only adopt a version of rails when it's no longer the newest version of rails, and even that was enough to avoid most compatibility issues. We currently tend to adopt new versions of rails and ruby about a quarter after they are released (I wouldn't recommend "within a week" to any large project).

It's worth noting that the reason there aren't a ton of compatibility issues 9 months after those things are released is _because_ of shops that perform the upgrades, find the issues, and report or solve them before then. The later you choose to go in the cycle, the less you'll be impacted, and the less you will contribute.
Ok. So I'm guessing you're using a Java like language with classes and that the upper classes call into the lower classes? I understand the appeal of that approach. The tradeoff is that you have to make multiple passes of the file to compile/do IDE analysis. If the language is designed as I've been advocating, one can essentially write a one pass compiler. This is simpler to implement and will generally be faster. The big tradeoff is that it imposes a more rigid organizational structure.

As a compiler author (I have written a self-hosting compiler for an unpublished new language), I dramatically prefer implementation simplicity to organizational flexibility. I respect your preference but believe that ultimately the more free-form and flexible a language, the more complex and slow the tooling, both of which lead to more bugs in the final artifact. But I certainly can't prove my point.
I thought of the same book as I was reading GP's comment, it's a perfect example, and a very engaging read.
I wonder what the motivation is the attempt to use the stock firmware and reverse engineer whatever communication and potential key signing the device has from the factory, versus just wiping the flash / desoldering and replacing with completely new firmware from scratch.

That would require completely tracing the PCB out to understand the display drive from the uC and other pin assignments, but... I find that much easier. And then the end result is the potential for a completely understood hardware & software configuration.
And admit weakness?, autocracy doesn't like doing that much.
>they can only launch things that are capable of serving billions of requests per day

They did not have to launch something like ChatGPT at full scale. I understand very well the cost associated with it. But, they should have been the one setting the stage and the narrative. Building expectation releasing cool demo, experimental features backed into Docs. Things that could show where "potentially" Google could have taken the technology in time ..

But, it seems like, that while they were working on the "perfect working money printing AI product", they completely left the stage to OpenAI and friends.

I think, that was definitely a strategic error.

Perhaps Google will come ahead, who knows. I hope this was a wakeup call for them.

You can’t fix STARTTLS unless receivers stop advertising it. That will take until the end of time. Meanwhile, DANE can assure that domains can assert their SSL certificate in the DNS securely. And MTA-STS can allow DNS to do so, just without the assurance of DNSSEC, which implies that sophisticated man-in-the-middle attacks can still occur, if DNS can be intercepted and modified.
