So that's an interesting point

It's the first example of (seemingly) non-deterministic software with the capability of accessing an API that I can think of. Really it feels like a different class of thing than the toy examples elsewhere in this page (pull the trigger when the hash of some input starts with a 1 or whatever). I think picking up on the AI aspect is valid; those "modern AI trends" have sparked a broad discussion about how much agency to give LLMs. It's fundamentally a different discussion than the general one about concerns in software.

My point is, you might try to force me to accept a correspondence between these AI models and any other piece of software, and you would probably be right in a mathematical sense, but the curiosity and fear that Bing has provoked is actually about human feelings, not technology. That's why I objected to the flag. Every other comment on this page is evidence of the validity of the issues raised in the post.
VMware has a thing that's basically this also: https://vmware.github.io/vic-product/

But I've never quite understood the appeal. Is it about running untrusted containers with VM-level isolation? Or having a familiar GUI for managing and lifecycling them? Something else?

Fundamentally, I worry that mixing VMs and containers is more likely to end up with the worst of both worlds rather than the best— basically you get the slow bootup of starting the kernel every time, but none of the application-level benefits of sharing base layer storage or mounting the same shared volume to multiple containers at once.
Those cases are about a decade old, and I believe they would have been overturned (at least in CA) by a recent CA Supreme Court case: https://shawlawgroup.com/2020/02/california-supreme-court-ap...
Maybe an hour...if you get it right the first time. There's nothing especially odd about the architecture of our app, but the person who used to have my job was the president of the Not Invented Here Syndrome Fan Club, and our deployment consists of a set of handrolled Python scripts and some partial documentation on how to use them. This is one reason, and far from the biggest, that his old job is no longer his.

The good news is, we have an engineer putting in about 70% of his time on converting this to Terraform, and every time I do a deployment, it gets a little quicker and easier.
It's much better than Java, Kotlin and C#.

The borrow checker detects the majority (~95%) of concurrency problems. We don't have that many single core CPUs lying around anymore.

It's got a story on high performance, high concurrency programs which is significantly better than anything else I've seen so far.
Fascinating! Not familiar with this. Thanks.

Honestly I've seen "mom and pop shops can't afford it" used to argue against basic human decency like paid sick leave, paid parental leave, mandatory employer-provided health insurance, etc. so many times to the point where I'm now actively biased against mom and pop shops.

A much larger proportion of companies that behave in abusive ways towards their employees are small businesses as opposed to large companies.

Aside from all of the above, small business owners are far more likely to act like they're doing their employees a huge favor by hiring them than managers at big companies. One small company I worked at was particularly abusive: we were all making 2/3 of what we would've been making at other companies, we had no health insurance (which got me financially destroyed on my taxes), no vacation days, I had to beg my boss to give me a day off if some emergency came up and I had to take off (which he'd only give me half the time), my boss yelled so much at myself and my coworkers that at any large company he would've been frog-marched into HR's office and sent packing (or rather, large companies would vet their managerial candidates so they'd never hire someone like him in the first place), we worked in an absolute shithole of an office building where things went wrong constantly, the building manager didn't give a shit, and actively treated us like garbage when we complained, and the company's leaders just rolled over and took it because they didn't have any other option (we were literally the very first tenant in an office building that had just been renovated after being closed for a decade and got a massive discount on rent because of it; we couldn't afford offices anyplace else). Every other company I've worked for has been larger than them and never pulled any of this shit. I'll never work for a small business ever again; in fact, I currently work for a megacorp and love it.
Given that the more complicated taxes are, the easier it is for billionaires to hide what they're doing, pay less in taxes, and even get money back out from the IRS, along with giving accountants a job, is it really that much of a surprise?

I'm genuinely not trying to be a contrarian here, but I was a lot thinner when I was broke. I was younger too though.

My overall health according to doctors, and attractiveness according to peers seems to be about the same.

Wealth went up dramatically between 20 and 30 though. It seems like I'm just not wealthy enough for it to make a difference. I was pretty damn broke hah.

About 20 minutes. Main time cost is running integration and acceptance tests, downloading libs, and compiling. Hopefully will start doing it on a dedicated VM to cache things a bit.
> If you're building web backends, Rust is not a good choice

This heuristic wouldn't work for my department because we build web backends in C++. I keep telling the most senior devs here that nobody does this and for good reasons (velocity etc), and their response is "who cares what the rest of the world does, they're just bad at C++."
I could be 100% remote, but I usually end up in the office 0-2 times a week just because some things are just easier when I knock on a door and chat compared to trying to do the same thing via Slack or Zoom.

The article seems pretty clearly to indicate that this is far from "just a special case". It cites data that show that the rewards to thin women relative to fat ones far outpace the differences in reward for men on their own axes of attractiveness.
As a person who only occasionally needs Linux for specific purposes, something I‘d like is a well-supported mainstream distro for lightweight, high performance servers. Think NGINX, routers, local web proxies, that kind of thing.

Something akin to BSD but Linux. Ideally something that supports a two-stage deployment where you compile for the exact target CPU and then the final thing has no extraneous components at all.

Maybe Nix?
Yep, and I believe the life expectancy change for just being overweight is very small, weight doesn't start really affecting expectancy until you hit the Obese mark.
Depends if there's a database migration or not.

If no database migration, than maybe a minute or two (via GitHub actions).

If there is a database migration it might take a while depending on how much data needs to get moved around.

Adding columns usually takes no time. Adding indexes to a big table takes a few hours.
Micro and macro are both important.

I've built crash collection and deduplication systems, I've heard of triage that helps discount crashes generated by hardware failures or overeager overclocking. I've collected telemetry and setup symbol servers and source indexing to streamline bug squishing, and helped build systems which verify game content up-front to discover even non-code bugs before they're shipped to users, and to properly attribute said errors to the content that generated said errors in an easily navigatable and fixable way. I've helped engineer error-tollerant systems that won't require handholding by engineering to recover from bugs. Plenty of focus on the macro.

But all it takes is a single uncaught exception slipping past QA to cause one to consider a recall of physical product, even in this era of ubiquitous internet, for a handheld console game for something as trivial as a missing or corrupt sound effect. If things at the micro level are neglected too much, and nothing you do at the macro level can really mitigate that in a sane manner... except use tools that check you're doing things right at the micro level. And I have yet to see exceptions handle that micro level particularly well.
Can you please link the article? It has the be the first that has an actual reason. Everything else doesn't report the actual reasoning given by FEMA.

The "no-hair theorem" says that black holes only have three properties: mass, angular momentum and electric charge.

If a black hole is perturbed (for example, by merging with another black hole or swallowing a star), it will temporarily be more complicated, but then it quickly goes back to having only above three properties. The extra properties (such as the gravitational quadrupole moment) asymptomatically decay, over a relatively short timespan.
In general it depends. If you modified existing blood cells genotype then it wont persist indefinitely. You'd need to modify the bone marrow. But then some cell lines work like you posed in your question.

Missiles are not designed to lock onto voluntary transponders, for hopefully obvious reasons, meaning the AIM-9x in this instance has demonstrated either a very sensitive IR sensor, or a very sensitive radar setup.
The officially supported method is to login to each 2FA account and delete the old 2FA and generate a new one that you make sure to record separately. Authy really locks you in.

There are some unsupported methods a Google search away. I have had luck with this one in the past but haven't used in over a year, so can't vouch for it still working.

However, not only did the user-base change, Reddit did as well; Between the ads, awards, and NFTs... errr... avatars, I feel that Reddit is now a lot better off financially than it was back then (I could be totally off-base here) and so the expectation is that it should now no longer be in a situation where my specific visit to the site took down the one MySQL box in the storage closet.

I think the article is incorrect on this point. The NY assembly and senate have both passed the bill that contains the changes: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/a1285 It hasn't yet been signed by the governor though.

I live in NY and actually reached out to both my state senator and assemblyperson multiple times in opposition to this follow up bill. I never received a substantive reply.
That's not entirely true. It's more like if you are a significant donor your name is always going first on the schedule of meetings for that day. Local constituents will usually get scheduled over and over again until some random 15-min block that the politician usually just glazes over for. They will meet with you if whatever your issues is directly affects their ability to fundraise though.

She's only "missing" in the sense that she's not answering reporter questions or engaging on social media. It's relatively easy to see via related social media accounts that she's fine, not in hiding, not in witness protection, just offline.
Not only the stuff other people have said about how that money is actually spent, but...

The market sets the prices.

Sure, the politicians might want more, but I'm sure there are others who would be just as effective who could want less. Then the political contributions flow to your competitors instead of you.

And there are other factors. If you're too obviously corrupt, maybe you get voted out anyway. Maybe you don't even see what you're doing as corruption. Things just happen to align. Or maybe you see it as a win-win. You get something, you do good for your constituents, the lobbying group gets what it wants, etc.

The truth is way more complicated than "corpo stooges carrying big sacks of dollars to fat cat politicians".

> Depends on the society. In Asia it's still by far the most popular aesthetic, especially for women.

I guess I outed myself as an American. I'm not sure I want to compare attractiveness standards with other cultures. I'm ok to take a hedonistic view here: if adhering to super-thin attractiveness standards causes women suffering or shortens their lives (which it does) then the standards are bad and I hope people in those countries reevaluate their standards.
"Water cooler" is something that can only happen at an office. You can have two devs talking about something, but then a person from legal/marketing/art chimes in with their view. Or even a dev from a completely different team overhears and has some insight you don't.

It'd never happen in a random chat service, people don't start water cooler stuff on public channels, they either use more limited team chats or private messages.
Yes. I cringe a little getting emails from startup recruiters saying "join a Rust startup." As if the success of their business hinges on using Rust for something that probably doesn't need it.

I've found that the basic NodeJS or Python works for most problems I've chosen. Not even with strong typing.

It's better to use local free toy exchange/give-away group on facebook or something. I have kids and we almost never buy new toys. if we do have to buy, the used toys on facebook marketplace are often very good and much cheaper than what shown on this website.
Yes, you’re right! A lentiviral vector is used to insert the working gene into the patient’s stem cells. Obviously this is a non-pathogenic version of the virus, so it’s ability to make you ill has been essentially “switched off”. However the ability for the virus to insert genetic information into the DNA of cells remains.
Parametric modelling - OpenSCAD (which you mention) is commonly used for that style of handwritten arithmetic and has a few python-based alternatives like CadQuery. In GUIs, FreeCAD has an architecture module that aims to be fully featured (never used it), but for just parametric drawings, SolveSpace is lightweight and probably more pleasant to use.

I think a lot of that has to do with perception in media as well. I remember as a kid, it seemed that almost every male protagonist in coming of age stories had a tomboy girlfriend who was very athletic. Recently I had a discussion with some friends on childhood TV crushes, and most of them mentioned characters that fit the "fit" tomboy archetype.

Sure, it's anecdotal. Still, I wonder how much media people see in childhood influences what people view as attractive later in life?
> The one where the two women in love live happily simulated ever after was really sweet.

I love it too, one of my favorite episodes of TV ever made. That being said, the ending wasn't all rosy. The bank of stored minds was pretty unsettling. The closest to a "good" ending I can recall was "Hang the DJ", the dating episode.

It doesn't matter how you FIND an object if you can't target it.

> Because being very obese comes with elevated health risks, some might argue it is not a problem that there are incentives for women to lose weight. But this relies on two wobbly pillars of logic.

> First, that people’s weight really is within their control. And second, that shame is an effective motivator.

This first point is absurd and I keep seeing it pop up in more respectable contexts and I don't understand the purpose here of ignoring widely understood and deeply established facts about weight gain and weight loss.
