They had to dredge Portsmouth Harbour to accommodate the new QE2-class aircraft carriers.

Almost every week it seemed work had to stop and the area evacuated because they kept pulling up unexploded ordnance, Portsmouth being the home of the Navy and therefore very heavily bombed during WW2.
... what and utterly bizzare form of sour grapes.

"They're not so smart, they just took a conservative approach to the life or death problem of drive attentiveness that resulted in their V1 solution outperforming Tesla's V3.x solution which came out 16 years later"

I mean for all their risk averseness, the Corolla got driver awareness monitoring before Tesla did, I don't think your point really works...

Ctrl+K is often used to perform any kind of action. On Discord, Slack, GitHub, etc. let you perform any action with this hotkey. It's also a generic search, as website searches implemented with Algolia use this by default.

Ctrl+/ is usually used to show all the keyboard shortcuts, or at least the most common ones. Usable on Discord, Slack, VSCode, etc.

Not to be arch, but this whole line of discussion is uninteresting to me. I'm glad to discuss Elm, but I don't want to hear unfounded character assassination of a kid who's only guilty of being willing to say "no" to people who want to change his language in ways that he's not into.

From my POV Elm stands as a serious challenge to the entire JS ecosystem. I keep asking, "What's the business value argument for not using Elm?" and no one has a good answer.

I think you have a fair point, but it is important to note that the drop off in effort and utility depend on whether the worker is directly involved in the support of others.

That is to say, it is very different if I take 20% of my time and directly give it to someone as support versus if I just trust that 20% of my time is taxed and somehow makes it too to one of 350 million people in the country.

The Arab trade into South and Southeast Asia dates back to the 7th century. Arab merchants also traded with Vikings. Trading relationships amongst different tribes and regions developed by land and sea from the 7th century onwards into what we can probably classify as international trade (although they weren’t defined as nation-states then).

This is non-news. Turkey is holding up Sweden and Finland for nonsense reasons. Probably some kind of behind the scenes politics going on. Finland saying they ‘think’ it will happen means nothing.

I worry about this as well. It is just like you said. No one has any time for anyone anymore, and it seems that just the bare minimum gets done. When someone actually slows down and helps you with something, it almost feels surreal.
InBuild – Supercharged financial management for builders
We’re revolutionizing the accounts payable process by providing customizable workflows to streamline complex financial needs and eliminate tedious data entry.

inBuild uniquely employs AI to identify all documents from incoming emails, extract key data, route it to the appropriate team members, process payments, and reconcile expenses with the project budgets. Construction teams gain real-time system-wide visibility into the financial health of their projects and company. Documents are automatically cataloged and easily accessible on the go.
Terminal can handle auth.
We have some tests like that. We're injecting a stub to generate the error condition and then testing the output. The test code runs in the same thread as the server so we can temporarily inject a stub into the server for some cases.

You're right we have to know something about the system to know where to inject the stub, and in fact it makes the test brittle in case that implementation detail changes (which has actually happened and failed these tests before), but it doesn't really matter where we inject the stub to cause the error response, so it's not as bad as it sounds. I think it might be pretty analogous to knowing where to mock the JSON API w/ a non-200 response code.

We very rarely stub anything and consider it a code smell, this is one case where we made an exception though because there is otherwise no way to generate an error message via the user interface.

Those people maybe not being specialist cannot differentiate those remedies which are "safe" as the poster writes (which equals to "no risks or some risk of mild impact") and those which can have catastrophic impact in the relatively small set of the unlucky.
Okay, I just spent about 2 hours trying to get OpenBSD 7.2 (amd64) working on my laptop (Dell Latitude E6540). Things I noticed:

- The installer worked fine
- It detected the WWAN and WiFi cards, although it couldn't get the WiFi working due to missing firmware (that was expected)
- The installer complained that the USB image was insecure because it was missing a SHA256 signature for the files. I re-downloaded it from a different mirror but that was bit-for-bit identical to the one I had, so I think this is probably just a bug in the installer (or image)

Installation went quick and I was met with a "Congratulations" message, where I opted to reboot.

After that, the laptop entered a boot loop, with every reboot resulting in it rebooting again right after the BIOS logo, without even as much as a text screen/boot loader showing.

I figured it might be because I installed as GPT (which was what the installer suggested) even though my BIOS is set to legacy boot. So I re-did the installation, this time choosing "whole disk (MBR)" instead of "whole disk (GPT)".

The reboot loop didn't happen again, but it still couldn't boot from the disk, no text output, nothing, just the big BIOS logo and half a second of flashing the HDD LED, then silence.

Trying the BIOS-integrated boot menu (F12) hung the whole laptop unless I removed the harddisk.

The disk itself is fine though (I gave it a quick run-down on my desktop system) and another disk with Linux on it still boots without issue.

So yeah, maybe OpenBSD probably isn't right for me if I expect as much as a basic, working system after installation shrug
I used to work in the admissions office of a top 5 school in the US.

I was naive and initially shocked by "the list" when I was told about it. A list of applicants who were the children of faculty, staff, very large benefactors, and politicians. They could NOT be denied by any admissions councilor without a very serious reason (eg. convicted of a violent crime).

I raised an eyebrow.

Then I discovered that that list accounted for a full 25% of EVERY incoming class. Literally hundreds of students per year.

I raised the other eyebrow.

Then I realized that the constant and extreme push for diversity recruiting was to obfuscate the obvious nepotism and secrecy in admissions. The remaining part of the incoming class had to vastly overachieve diversity metrics so anyone questioning admissions or seeking transparency could be easily demonized for being <insert insult>.

They will never ever EVER allow transparency in admissions.
What I dont understand is how they store your password-db in a safely encrypted manner, when there isn't a password to encrypt it with. It seems that either losing your device is fatal (if the encryption key is stored in some trusted tamper resistant chip on device), or 1password can access all your passwords in plaintext?
Out of curiosity I looked up cancer rates in Islamic countries (which typically) have far lower rates of alcohol consumption. Seems there is a significantly lower rate of cancer there by as much as 2-3x compared to countries in which alcohol is more widely consumed: https://jenci.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s43046-022-0...

There are doubtless other factors at play but the data at least seems to correlate with the WHO's recommendation.
Yeah, I’m scratching my head at the British press laughing at them over this, but seemingly not giving two tiny damns that HS2 is now between £4,000,000,000 and £66,000,000,000 over budget depending on whose figures you trust, and counting.

Correct. There are decreasing returns to scale on taxation (which also justifies the Laffer curve/supply side/Voodoo economics, but that's another set of philosophical problems). The literature on optimal taxation is large and interesting.
Another common async footgun I see is unthrottled gathering, and no throttling mechanism in the standard library. Once you gather an unspecified number of awaitables, bad things start to happen, either with CPU starvation, local IO starvation, or hammering an external service.

What I like about threads is they make dangerous things like this harder, and you have to put more thought into how much concurrent work you want outstanding. They also handle CPU starvation better for things that are latency-sensitive. I've seen degenerate requests tie up the event loop with 500 ms of processing time.
Future TV Live Shows: All participants are bots.
> The prospective class action filed last year against 17 schools alleged a price-fixing conspiracy in which schools restricted financial aid, causing a class of potentially more than 200,000 students to over-pay for tuition by tens of millions of dollars. The lawsuit survived an early bid by the schools to dismiss it.

What does this mean? They didn't qualify for student aid, they qualifed and were denied, or they went to a school, saw they could have paid less and were upset?
Then you would have universities exclusively populated by people who are good at taking whatever type of standardized test you're administering.
Your task is implicitly not function-scoped as you want it to survive exiting the function. What your doing here would be better architecturally done with threads. async is not a direct replacement for threading.

But, you could also return the task object to the caller and have them manage it. There's also nothing async about your function, so you don't need the async or to await it.

Theory of mind may have spontaneously emerged in large language models (2021)
The last time this sort of class-awareness trend got started in America was Occupy Wall Street, and the corporate media killed it by platforming and showcasing the looniest most alienating fringes of that movement, starting the descent into the 'racist' style of progressive activism which most of the public find alienating (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/25/most-americ...)

I think they'll do it again. If this movement finds legs and makes itself hard to ignore, then the corporate media will once again use their editorial powers to shift the conversation away from the class narrative, probably again in the direction of divisive race politics.

My dad worked in pulmonar oncology.

A lot of people that die of cancer never drank a sip of alcohol or smoked a cigarette.

Alcohol increases the risk factor, but it's not like tobacco, alcohol is correlated to an increase of breast cancer and oral cavity cancer at maximum 20-25% more. 20-25% means 1.2-1.25 times, tobacco increases the risk 2,000-2,500% which means 20-25 times.

If you look at the stats in my country for oral cavity tumor, men risk (of getting it, survival rate after 5 years is over 60%) is 6 / 100,000, women risk is at 2.2/100,000. So a woman drinking heavily will see her risk go up to 2.75, which is still half the risk of men.

That's the kind of risk we are talking about here.

In perspective, if it was about tobacco the risk would go up from 2.2 to 55. A bit different, isn't it?

People react to these headlines in the wrong way: they confuse "risk increases" with "certain death". It's not like that, still a lot of cancer patients had a completely normal almost risk free life and we don't know why they got it, the only thing for sure is that it ran into their families. That's the biggest risk of them all.

And do not forget that age is a big risk factor too, one of the biggest.

Back to oral cavity cancer: in my Country average age of the diagnosis is 64, 95% of them are diagnosed after the age of 40.

Something to take into account, I think.

15th century, 1400s, Muvhal Empire did not exist.

It's possible there was centuries-long trade between Vikings and Arabs that stopped at the Horn of Africa, because Arabs kept the route to India, Malacca and the Moluccas a mostly well-guarded secret against Europeans.

That being said, it's possible for the Scandinavians to have indirectly acquired these spices from the Arabs, because the Arabs certainly resold a lot of them from the Vijayanagara Empire and the Srivijiya Sultanate (both which existed around that time). But the lack of any outposts or major presence like the Arabs did, means that the Europeans did not have direct access to Greater Asia (India, China, SEA) until the Portuguese opened up the routes.

As you can expect, the number of middlemen involved meant that the prices commanded by these goods was extremely high.

Edit:- Denmark had an outpost in Tuticorin (Southern India) much later though

Clearly they have been doing work if they notified the customer 2 years ago and are still going back and forth... the way this type of procurement works means that there's massive cost involved in this mistake even if not a single train has been built.

If anything you're actually proving the headline even more accurate, since you're making it clear Spain (as in the government) is the one really owning the majority of the incompetence here: when normally it's more of a mix between the firm and the customer
To bolster this point: even today less than half the world population has flown on an airplane.
Don't believe anything management tells you about raises or promotions. They always over-promise and under-deliver. Count on needing to switch jobs to get more money.

In that same vein, don't believe any crap that the bosses say about your company being "family". It's pure manipulation. The company has no loyalty to you.

Don't put in overtime to meet arbitrary deadlines. If the production system is broken, sure, fix it. But if someone wants you to lose your weekend so that the project can meet any arbitrary deadline, forget it.

"We'll do X later" means "We'll do X never". There's always talk of having more time after the immediate priority is taken care of, but there never is any slack time after delivering a project.

Never talk to your manager about spending time dedicated to refactor code. They'll always say no or say you can do it later. As mentioned before, later means never. Refactor as you go and don't talk about it with management.

This may all sound rather cynical, but this is what I've learned over my nearly 20 years in the industry. That said, I have always had good relationships with my managers... I have just learned what works and what doesn't.

> My default is for my brain to be boiling with ideas and visions for a “perfect” system (for some version of perfect), but you can only pump out code so quickly.

Why? What limits you from just coding faster? The hard part is figuring out what you want to code, after that you just write it. Just add the features you want, what is stopping you? Writing well architected code goes faster than writing a mess, so that isn't a hindrance, just stop writing messes and you will be faster, messy code is a sign of a messy mind.

Edit: I guess I answered my own question there. Your mind is full of messy ideas, when you try to code them you get messy code, and that is a problem. I'm not sure how to fix that, you'd need to go through the ideas and ensure you learn it properly so you don't have those messy ideas in the future.
For what it's worth I think your use of "operational" was in this context more correct than mine :)

You've probably got a better feel for public opinion in Germany than I do - I'm over the border in Czech Republic so while we'd have also suffered with a gas shortage, the idea of any concessions to Putin here is nearly unthinkable (people crowdsourced a fucking tank they called "Tomáš" for god's sake :D). I figured Germany might be more forgiving, but would still be very resistant and would be supported in doing so by its NATO allies in any way possible.
