Installed an fairly overprovisioned heat recovery ventilation system. What effectively means a lot of pipes to move the air in and out of the rooms. Nothing fancy: supply in the bedrooms, exhaust in the bathroom, etc, just a little more air volume moving. Heat recovery system (a fancy word for a aluminum heat exchange) recovers the heat going out of the house by warming the incoming air. Keeps mostly the CO2 levels way below 800 ppm, normally around 600 ppm.

Suppose one such probe malfunctioned or was damaged, what would the results be if it crashlanded on a lifeless primordial planet? This probe must be capable of some degree of self-replication. It might not actually diminish the possibility that some out-of-control self-replicating system comes back to destroy you. (Worse, you've explicitly designed it to replicate systems that cause barely discriminate destruction.) How much might you change before it no longer recognizes you?

I think this perfectly demonstrates my point. Thanks for sharing. Java was perceived as "enterprisey and non-open-source-friendly".

It's also interesting to hear that a Java deployment was thought to be more difficult than a Python deployment. My baised opinion is the exact opposite. Java services are generally incredibly simple to run, especially if you make a fat jar executable.
Oracle's "license change" was to open source the entire JDK for the first time in Java's history (although many people tried to make sure this was misunderstood, which wasn't helped by Oracle's poor communication -- now that's frustrating), and we had no control over Jakarta's insistence to leave the JCP, Java's standards body that controls the javax namespace. Even Oracle only uses the java/javax namespaces for JCP APIs. They claimed it was too inefficient, but Java SE churns out two specification versions a year through the JCP, despite them being bigger and more complex than Jakarta EE.

I always struggle designing urls in the first place with SEO in mind.

Do I put an ID that bad actors can crawl in ascending order? Do I hash the ID? Do I have a unique slug that requires thought to avoid clashing in the future? Does that add another DB lookup or are you looking up the ID anyway? Do you do /id-slug or /id/slug but if you move to Wordpress or off your stuck with /slug or something with no ID.

Maybe none of it matters but it seems like it does, especially if you consider it a change you expect to last the life of the domain. Every tech solution instead of rolling their own has their own unique way of handling it.

Because pretty much everybody that reads the article will have taken away a grossly exaggerated idea of what the system is actually capable of. If Stable Diffusion was intentionally added "for flair" and really is unnecessary, then I would absolutely say that the researchers were being intentionally deceptive.

Even if we do a massive goalpost-move and grant that the system is only identifying the label "dog" with a brain scan of a person looking at a dog, we would need to see actual statistics of its labelling accuracy before judging it in that way. If the images in the paper are cherry-picked(1), it could easily be only able to extract a handful of bits to no bits at all, and the entire thing could very well turn out the be replicable from random noise.

(1) Note that the paper even states "We generated five images for each test image and selected the generated images with highest PSMs [perceptual similarity metrics].", so it even directly admits that the presented images are cherry-picked at least once.
Instead, we decided to eliminate all visual cues for actionability and context. The modern UX designers hiss and scream if you suggest something as banal as 3D
Yeah, I would assume they're using mains frequency as the reference. It was a pretty common thing back in the old days. I remember reading one electrical system engineer talking about how they had to tweak the grid hz in order to make sure that peoples' clocks stayed fairly correct. The grid would typically slow down a bit during times of peak load, so they'd run a bit faster at other times to force clocks to catch up. I think most of those clocks are gone now that there are much better sources, but they were still fairly common when I was a kid in the 90's (though I didn't learn about how they worked until much later).
Rather, the result of sanctions, i.e., the almost total absence of cross-border trade.

Historically it was through trade that societies/nations became successful, were growing, were eventually dominating. The early dominance of Europe was thanks to its long coastal lines, allowing to quickly connect to neighbors and thereby exchange goods, thus trade. The industrialization was kicked off in Great Britain, the culmination of extensive trade combined with the abundance of cheap energy (coal + steam engine). Which then took off in all of Europe, again trough trade.

If you artificially limit trade of a country, either externally because everybody hates you, or internally because you are crazy, then you automatically limit your development and thereby growth. Communism or not.

> the tooling and resources around react are just unmatched

This is a fair point to bring up and might be the main advantage of React at this point. But as a counterpoint to that, part of the reason that the ecosystem around React is so well-developed is that React itself (in its specific role as a sort of view layer) has like 80,000 libraries and design patterns for lots of necessary tasks like state management. And because React has been around so long, many of these resources and tutorials are out of date or otherwise questionable.

Whereas going into something like Svelte, you know that almost certainly you're going to use the built in stores and it's likely going to work perfectly for the overwhelming majority of common use cases. Does it really matter if the Svelte ecosystem is smaller and less developed if the right way to proceed in virtually any project is much clearer?

React is certainly "safer" in a sense, you're never going to get in trouble with your boss for choosing React, just about anything that you'll ever want to build with React has been proven as workable, you'll always have 18 dozen libraries to solve just about any problem, and you'll always be able to easily hire a pile of developers when needed.

I don't know if there's an objective right answer because every situation is unique and we're sort of dealing with an opinion, but I know which way would increase (this) developer's happiness level.
History may not repeat, but it rhymes. Great empires all eventually fall because its citizens started to see each other as enemies more than allies.

That being said, the narrative is also written by victors in the eyes of the ruling class. So take them with a grain of salt. For example, America was only a symbol of freedom for those fled Europe, not much for those who were here before or shipped from Africa.
I have been using a 15 inches laptop for coding for 4 years now and splitting the screen whether in vim or having two windows next to each other does not make for a great experience.
Rather than buying a separate screen and having one more thing to manage I remapped Super + J and Super + K in Cinnamon to just switch windows instantly.
Sometimes I even use Super + $number to get to a specific window. I think it works fine and it's more resilient: I can code when I don't have an extra screen
Sure, though I do think that the currently existing rift between the primitive and object world should be healed first, to not leave behind another construct that will only be a backwards compatibility hindrance later.

But I don't think about COBOL at all, and neither should you. The problems that legacy banks, airlines and government institutions have are not my problems.

The management class doesn't want to hear this. Their only goal is to lower maintenance costs on their legacy systems by bringing in new people to ensure lower wages, so they fund all this nonsense about this very dead language.

"What is it with these nerds that don't want to write COBOL code? It's all just coding, isn't it?"

You know they're desperate when they resort to astroturfing.
Sorry, yes, I understood that.

But since you mentioned dwm and awesome in the same breath and then went on to complain about configuration headaches I thought it might be worthwhile to point out that dwm actually doesn't suffer from the configuration headaches that apparently come with awesome + multiple monitors.

But then, dwm has its own set of other limitations of course (quite a lot of them, in fact) - everything's a tradeoff.
What's even more important, antagonism and competition between European states is a main driving factor of European success. China destroyed itself and faced a century of humiliation (in fact at last 1.5 centuries, it's been a pathetic shithole by 1835 and still was in 1985), exactly because it had none of that, but a strong centralised government with nothing that could seriously threaten it. Preserving the status quo has become a lot more important than progress, and they found themselves at the very bottom of global food chain before they realised. In the Western world, we have a very acute perception of importance of all kinds of competition, and regularly get examples of how ugly things turn if it is thwarted. So, our disunity is our strength and our defining factor, not our weakness.

You’re lucky this happened to you right now and not after marriage and with kids.

If you don’t have your own self, there’s no point in holding on to relationships. They will eventually decay. Go to the gym, walk, run, play, meditate. Get your own house in order before worrying about relationships. Get a therapist.

Often in large game projects many devs spend very little time playing the actual game, since they are focused on their own area of responsibility within the overall game and the game itself may not be in a playable or balanced state until very late in development. Then at some point the team leadership will set up some teamwide play sessions, etc.
The point is that Java eventually adds the same stuff as well just with worse usability than the C# counterpart.
One should not confuse growth as in producing more and more stuff with growth as in progress.

Of course you can't produce more stuff ad infinitum. A balance to reach net-zero stuff is necessary to be sustainable.

But nothing prevents you from advancing technology ad infinitum. It can be sustainable to keep progressing. You just can't exhaust the resources around you, but you don't have to to keep progressing.

It does make sense to optimize for the lowest common denominator if working away from a desk often. However, that would also mean foregoing the external keyboard and mouse imo. TP keyboards are pretty good and the "nub" is better than a mouse in some ways (though seems to cause hurt finger after a while). I still prefer an external mechanical kb, mouse and big monitor but I get where the OP is coming from.

If you believe photography is only a technic for creating a pretty picture to hang on the wall, you’ll be impressed with AI pictures. No one who understands the intent behind photography will be impressed by randomized data crafted to deceive as the real thing.

For instance, portraiture is to document people, who they are, their history, culture, etc. What’s so impressive about people that don’t exist? You’re correct.
>We need to be able to distinguish between these two, so that we can determine their relative value (both emotional and monetary).

Why?

Why should the nature of a work of art's creator have any bearing on its emotional impact? If the emotional impact is the same, why should the nature of the creator have any bearing on a piece's monetary value?

I suppose you can argue that part of what you feel when you look at artwork is empathy with the artist, and that empathizing with a human feels better than empathizing with software. I think that argument sucks.

I think if you felt something looking at these photos (fauxtos?) when you thought they were taken by a human, and now they make you feel something different because you know that's not true, that's not a judgement of the artwork, that's a reflection of you. I'd also argue that it's art on that merit alone.
Is it worth supporting the creator here? When the creator is just a company that owns the work of another and treats their customer in this fashion?
Clearly it does not imply either those things.

Feel free to critique this as a strawman, but I personally use very little of the software I develop and I guess many/most devs are in the same boat.
It's a standard full sized external Mac keyboard for Norway bought directly from the Apple store. We share the keyboard with Denmark too I think. The Swedes and Finns have different keyboards, but I think they use a similar combination for backslash.

So the Mac issue applies to 4 countries in the Nordics at least. Please note that traditional PC keyboards use a different layout for some characters and may in some cases have a dedicated key for backslash too, in case you Google Norwegian keyboards. It's one of those Mac vs PC things we are used to.

Before anyone starts suggesting connecting a PC keyboard to my MacBook Pro, keep in mind that I use the built in keyboard almost 50% of the time and having two different key mappings is a hassle

Regarding backslashes and other special characters,
I never said it's on Java specifically, but the US centric culture in general. K&R used curly brackets when they designed C because they fit the US teletype character set of the 60s/70s, but that doesn't mean it's the best choice today.

I'm not suggesting we use special unicode symbols like arrows and emojis, but just pause for a minute and look beyond the US keyboard and see if we can find a solution that also works ergonomically for at least some non-US countries.
> I also don't have a large social circle, and some of my friends are scattered internationally.

I bet you have a larger social circle than you think. I recently got invited to the wedding of a friend I hadn't heard from in years. We all have these friend-seeds, people whose name we know but whose bio is somewhat unknown, apart from whatever gave you their name. People who've been in the same boat as you at some stage in your life, but you didn't find the time to talk for whatever reason.

Like plant seeds, they can last for years and still be viable.
Thanks, this is thought-provoking. I went and did some reading—-am I mistaken for thinking simply disabling introspection in production is a hard counter to this? I realize for a public API (or API product) that isn’t super helpful, but for my own use cases nobody on production needs it.

Other than that, it seems that the answer is just performing object-level authorization to ensure you never leak resources a user isn’t supposed to have access to. Depending on the framework you use this can be pretty straightforward…

Huge +1 to this. It sounds like they may need to switch therapists. I’ve had personal success with therapists that have expertise in CBT, DBT, and IFS.

OP may also want to explore mindfulness/meditation, which has been a huge QoL improvement for me.

Some resources I’ve found helpful:
- Book: Adult children of emotionally immature parents
- Book: How to meditate by Pema Chodron
- Website on DBT: https://dbtselfhelp.com/
- Book: The Antidote: Happiness for people who can’t stand positive thinking
- Meditation Apps: Waking Up, Headspace, Ten Percent. Also, if you don’t like one, try another. They all have distinct styles.

Seriously though, do therapy and hop therapists until one clicks. I read on here once “you can’t read the label from inside the bottle.” This type of work significantly benefits from a good outside perspective.

I'm mostly developing in Kotlin btw., but usually when Java introduces its take on a feature that has existed for a while in other languages, they improve on it. One such example: handling whitespace/indentation in multi-line strings in Kotlin vs Java. In Kotlin you usually have to call .trimIndent(), in Java the defaults are sane so you don't have to.
