I have given talks to factory managers about finding that one or two employees that know Arduino/Raspberry for these projects. Every factory has such persons. They would love to do it!

The reception on this is mostly neutral or negative from management. When you identify these guys, turns out they have great hardware or programming skills, but no integration or architecture concepts. The existing system (ERP, MES) owners also like to put a lot of red-tape around anything unconventional connecting to their systems.

Managers also are held accountable for the project, even if the costs are low. They prefer to spend a lot and have a consultancy to blame on failure, then their internal employee project they selected.

What consultants do is they help the company navigate within it's own bureaucracy and processes. Even to implement the Raspberry solution.
If the universal wave function Psi(everything-in-this-universe-and-beyond) can be factorized as Psi(system)*Psi(everything else) then the state of the system is precisely defined.

Isn’t the universal wavefunction supossed to be able to accomodate distinct realities where that system may be in different states?

I’ve no doubt that some people do choose to sign up to receive marketing emails.

I don’t, and yet I still do, so I can’t tell what marketing emails are “legitimate” because a website pre-checked a small box I didn’t notice or are simply spam, so it all gets marked spam.
reddit became massive overnight because digg imploded. digg imploded because they tried to turn into an advertising powerhouse.
I tried 9x9 and it seemed impossible at first but I solved it in 5-10 minutes. I want to try larger ones!

Keep fixing digits one at a time with things like parity, e.g. if the numbers are all odd and sum to an odd number, you know an odd number of them are needed. If a total is very high or low, there's often obviously only one way to make it. For totals not quite so high, if you choose the few highest numbers, and by trying ways to reduce the total by the excess, it becomes evident what the numbers are. ("Get your hands dirty.")

Often a row/column contains e.g. two 7s, and you know one of them is needed, but not which until other information comes in. (Having an "OR" label/symbol to mark those would be nice I guess.)

e.g. One of the columns I had: total 46, column is 16,-2,12,-2,14,-2,14,16,1. Eliminate the 1 by parity. I try adding the largest numbers, 16,16,14, which add to 46...and somehow I can see/intuit that there's no other way of making 46, as the -2s can only adjust downwards. So you green-circle the two 16s, leave the two 14s blank, as you don't know which is needed yet, and cross out all the others.
I was an early adopter of Google Search around 2000 when it was better than Altavista. A few years ago I switched to DuckDuckGo. But in the autumn my DDG searches began to have only about 10 results for terms that should have had thousands of results. A couple of months ago I started paying for Kagi search and like it because it's like Google used to be 20 years ago – it shows interesting results.
I might be a slow thinker as well, or at least not as smart as I think I am. As I’ve gotten older I’ve started taking Mark Twain’s quote to heart: “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.” In the case of thinking in the moment, if I don’t have something cogent to add, I say as little as possible.
You could reward the type of monetization that is correlated to high-quality content and penalize the type that is associated with spam.

Site offers extra paid content or services, or takes donations? Rank up. Ads? Neutral or rank down based on type of ads. Affiliate links? Rank way down.
This sounds weird, and not as I'd expect from the Economist.

The EU does something now wrt. Ireland, and that shows that it would have been flexible enough to do various other things years ago? I can see that this deal would have been possible years ago (it preserves the CJEU's jurisdiction etc), but hardly that the EU would ever be able to agree to the things the UK asked for back then.
I had my QR code. That's why the employee had to go for the scanner. I couldn't get to the returns counter.
A guide to reclaim our attention
Boiling lobster (and other things) alive is more about preventing food poisoning as bacteria appears quickly as soon as it's dead. You could kill a lobster right before cooking it (not boiled alive) and have the same flavor + reducing health risks.
I upvoted this, but only because of nostalgia. I was there when Google started and it was lightyears ahead of the already gamed Altavista which relied on human ingenuity and meta tags.
If it ends early, just ask it to continue. If there is something wrong with the code, ask it to fix it.
This assumes stress always comes from an external source. Most of the stressed-oout people I know actually have anxiety as a personality trait, and stress as a result of it.
If I'd known it was going to take like 10 times longer than usual I'd have gone somewhere else or not gone on my lunch break.
There are subjective effects that are much harder to measure though, and these peptide injections fall into that area, as there are numerous environmental and genetic factors one would need to control for.
It kinda feels like you're searching for attack vectors. Maybe that's not what you mean. ??

Either way, the avg person productivity bit is rather subjective. I picked phoenix/elixir. It helps me be productive. Good for me. Maybe you'd pick something else that you can be maximally productive in. That's great! We're both productive! ... It isn't a zero-sum game.
Just as important of a side note for supporting text-based browsers and screen readers: if the images are purely decorative, you should make it alt="". https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/

Don't do: <h1><img src alt="ACME logo">ACME</h1>.
(thanks for all your work!)

I understand the reasoning and especially when you put it like that it makes sense, the reason i feels weird to me is mainly because it's just different than many years of development with various frameworks (including Phoenix until this change). So it is more a "I don't like change!" comment ;)

For what it's worth, I mentioned that and the fact that you can use it however you want because it's such a fun and customisable framework, but in our production apps we just try to stick to defaults/recommended workflow so we do have all these files in the controller directory now.

I do still wonder if maybe the controller directory just needs a new name since it now contains more than just controllers, but I can't think of any good options and naming is hard.
Are you saying that protection from trolls was not a significant user request? How do you know? Are Twitter's support FAQs public?
I feel like the results from Kagi are pretty great. I tend to get what I'm looking for in the top few results.
Reviewers are also often quick to dismiss a paper when it hasn't done its homework of thoroughly reviewing all the related literature and explaining how the proposed result compares. This may seem pedantic, but it is important to limit reinvention of the wheel, and to give credit where credit is due (academia runs on credit).
We have a dog and had cats. I have pet friends. They are free to leave as they wish. The cat left and then came back with kids. Then they left but some will come back and go. The dog is still there, doesn't seem so enthusiastic about going too far from the house.

And yes. I think slaving/caging an animal is brutal. But many animals will happily have your company.
I think what they're trying to say is some subreddits auto-collapse comments from users with low karma and recent date of creation to combat bots. If reddit gives any more weight to high karma users I can tell you as one that it definitely doesn't seem noticeable at all. Right time and right place comments are always the ones that end up on top.
Less content is fine when the issue is too much junk content. Content would then be created by enthusiasts instead of businesses
> Anyway, even if you just change the words to synonyms it wont be easy to find in a search engine.

Got it, so you’ve never actually dealt with plagiarized work. You should have just led with that.

I have literally said, from actual experience, that this is the case. But I guess discarding that and pretending it was never said and that the opposite is true is I’m sure an easier position to hold.
Exactly. The added dimension of time pressure inherently affects a whole swath of people disproportionately who are perfectly capable of the job, but who are sensitive to this type of artificial restriction. I always wonder how many brilliant people are wasting away because they were denied a role due to this.
That swipeable element is standard in the Apple Watch UI vocabulary. It only needs to be intuitive for Apple Watch users.

It’s not a button to avoid an accidental press, because the false positive means emergency services are dispatched… and with enough false positives, the service stops being useful (wolf crying).
An alternative: create an account, don't use it for a while, use it.

Mods essentially have two variables to work with: account age and karma. Some subs do set minimum karma (I've stumbled upon some that wouldn't accept below 2k karma), but most just go by account age to prevent banned users from going around the ban.

And a tip for spotting karma farmers: just go to one of those big subs that accept screenshots of tweets. If the screenshot has engagements/timestamp cropped, click on a profile. Like 8 times out of 10 it's gonna be an older account that never posted before reposting one of the older popular submissions.

EDIT: Here's an example that took me like 20s to find: https://www.reddit.com/user/DepartureSimples/
Reddit? Do people find better answers to programming questions on reddit rather than on google?
You end up with less trash/monetization content and more content from passionate people writing about what they love/like/do for the joy of sharing.

But this does not sustain the chocolate factory.
"You try to maximize clicks and gain virality. There is no correlation to the quality of the content."

Really?
How do you relate: "An AI generates a game", and then "It's been done before." Obviously it didn't generate a game but it copied, which is not "amazing".

On a flip note: the game is fun enough.
I really would like to use it in the enterprise. But secure boot was not easy to do the last time I used it. And i still don’t have a clue how to package things which are delivered as Deb or rpm packages (I.e. a vpn client)

And getting management approval to build a packaging team so that you are not the only person In the company to go to, is a hard sell
>coomers owned 30% of the gdp

Uhm, coomers?

>Millenials own like 7%

Luckily GenZ won't own anything, they will only have subscriptions for everything. /s
Which kind of stresses the point how bad Google has become.
> I just headed over to one of the popular subreddits

That was your first mistake, the defaults are cesspools full of karma farming bots. Nobody goes to those for advice.
Why does the new server need to have a new url structure? Why do the URLs need a "structure" anyway? That's what TFA and OP are actually saying.

Mastodon - partly due to the fact that it predates federating through ActivityPub - doesn't have the concept of URL as a unique identifier for an object (in the ActivityPub sense), but uses numeric ids, or uuids in some places.

If you really want "a structure", I wonder why nobody is implementing ActivityPub services[1] using the simplest and dumb way of mapping objects in storage using their ids.

Ie: an actor has the ID https://example.com/user1, therefore it's inbox/outbox should be https://example.com/user1/inbox|outbox. Then, an activity created by that user can be found at https://example.com/user1/outbox/{unique-activity-id}. If the activity is a Create (the only ones with a side effect of creating an object), then this object can have the id https://example.com/user1/outbox/{unique-activity-id}/object, samd.

[1] My own fediverse software does this for multiple types of storage: filesystem hierarchy, k/v store, database tables, but I haven't seen anything else similar.
Not sure how you prove a search engine is dying by posting graphs showing search traffic going continuously up.

Reddit is a great source for a certain type of content. Google is a search engine for content. They are complementary… Reddit’s continued strength furthers Google’s relevance.

The only way Google can be hurt by Reddit is if Reddit blocks Google from indexing it (not likely).
Pointless comparing Japan to the west at all. The work ethic is completely different, may as well be another planet. Impossible to replicate in the west so pointless to compare economies.
I guess Jakarta thought that leaving the JCP and changing the name was necessary, but that's something only they can explain.
Last I checked, non AI AdBlock already works pretty well, why would you need AI?
On the topic of IPFS, but also slightly tangential -- how has nobody written an Activity Pub client/server in Javascript and distributed it as a Browser Addon?

If an IPFS node/server can be literally hosted via a Firefox Extension[1], how has nobody done the same for an arguably easier protocol like Activity Pub?

And the worst of SEO pages are cooking recipes, where you have to scroll down screens of badly written meaningless text before you actually get to ingredients list. At least Google still keeps indexing recipe microformats.
There are tons of examples from the training set that are awful. Most people will just eat them.
How many thousands of lines of code do you need to lint before Rust's performance advantages actually matter? After all, performance optimizing a tool where N is too small to matter is the root of all evil. Keep in mind that you don't have to lint an already linted file if you cache its hash.
> you make the effort to stick to one version of the whole nixpkgs explicitly.

the "effort" is just pointing to a particular checkout from nixpkgs repo

> With flakes you can combine packages and versions explicitly.

it's the same thing with default.nix/shell.nix, just having a separate lockfile changes nothing in the underlying `builtins.fetchGit` / `builtins.fetchTarball`
Interview the student.

That's literally all it takes... but oh no, it's too expensive, must figure out how to automate testing... while fighting against the automation of answering.

> Nix was in a confusing, in-between stage in its life cycle

That's what everyone says about software that is just too complex.

I tried Nix for the first time yesterday and had a similar experience - it was just too buggy, too brittle, and too difficult. It's absolutely not worth it. The software was built to solve a difficult problem, and maybe it does that, but it became a difficult problem in itself.

For example, if you Ctrl-C while its downloading an update, you get in a weird state where nothing works. Ok, so just uninstall and reinstall right? Well, there's no uninstall. You have to manually delete everything and remove the /nix mount. Its 2023, why am I having to hunt all this down? Sure, if you reinstall it it tries to do that, but it fails every time, or it just misses things. I just don't have time for this. Nix is not even close to ready for production.
I’ve just learned about the Multi-Catalog feature of Apache Doris (an analytic database). It allows you to connect to various data sources without worrying about data transfer and query data from multiple external sources as simply as querying internal data. (https://doris.apache.org/docs/dev/lakehouse/multi-catalog/)
I actually think this suggests it would be beneficial to just eliminate time limits on standardized tests. There is no inherent need to make time pressure the hard part of the exam. I’ve always thought it reflects a kind of laziness in the test design, and establishes a metric (thinking fast/under pressure) that isn’t really well aligned with the traits that help the most in real academic pursuits.

Do you believe you never missed any plagiarised work examples? You caught some people doing X, and then you declare that catching people who do X is trivial. But plenty of people get away with doing X so we know that it isn't easy to catch.

For students they are probably easier to catch since they use the same tools you do, they use a search engine to find an article and plagiarises that. But ChatGPT takes deep discussions from reddit or stack overflow, I can't find those with a search engine.
Where does it say you shouldn't use nix-env, niv or shell.nix in 2023? I would argue that there is extensive documentation and functionality for that already and it's not like it's getting deprecated. I've used Nix/Nixos for the past 4 years and still haven't looked into flakes - all the Nix stuff I use works great so I just can't really be bothered to spend time learning more, though I don't doubt it has some advantages.
Perhaps "generative ai" with summarization and citations will eventually be the future of search engines.

If a language model or some other methodology can distill information from all of these sites and proxy to them in a way that a company can still promote advertising revenue, there should be a clear path away from blog spam. One could imagine it might even disincentivize copying original works.

There are so many paths for using information once it can be transformed reliably.

If natural language understanding continues to improve, it would seem that there is a very bright future for existing search engines.
> That's not how science works. If you have a hypothesis with no experimental evidence, discussing it as a fact is akin to doing astrology.

Sure, but you can discuss it as theory without implying that it's proven fact. Most (if not all?) theories that are now considered scientific fact initially went through a period where they were lacking in conclusive experimental evidence.

> I'm sure you're aware that most people recognize themselves in horoscopes descriptions of their personality. This is quite similar to that.

I am. And that's why I think the plausibility of the theory is important. There's a difference between saying "people think in way A and way B" and "whether people think in way A or way B is determined by the position of the planets at the time they were born".

I guess I would say that it's not quite true that there's no experimental evidence. It's more the case that the academic discipline "experimental psychology" has failed to find evidence. Other disciplines like cognitive science and behavioural economics tend not to have studied the MBTI specifically, but have found experimental evidence for theories that are substantially similar enough to the MBTI's hypotheses that IMO they do count as some evidence.

Specifically there is experimental evidence that:

- There are qualitatively different ways in which people can think and process information.

- People can have a stable preference for a given thinking process. And that such preferences follow a bimodal distribution.

- People can have a preference towards either introversion or extraversion (MBTI's I vs. E distinction)

- People can think either in a "Fast" way (fast, intuitive, perceptually inaccesible) or a "Slow" way (slow, reasoned, perceptually accesible) (MBTI's J vs. P distinction)

That's evidence for ~50% of the MBTI already, and would leave "Feeling" vs. "Thinking" (value judgement vs. descriptive judgement) and "Sensing" vs. "Intiuton" (concrete vs. abstract thinking) as interesting research questions.
I always assumed the botted accounts on Reddit were in the hands of marketing companies, ready to upvote posts saying "My Brand X headphones sound great" or "I changed from Brand Y to Brand Z cigarettes because the smooth taste never leaves me feeling over-smoked" or "I made big gains by putting my life savings into this sketchy investment" or whatever they're being paid to promote at the time.

I'd wager you could do a lot to influence public opinion with just an upvote ring, without the botted accounts actually needing to post messages.
I'm curious to hear:

* your thoughts on automating (parts of) the code review process
* tools you've been using for it: for Python and for other languages
> Because a male could never actually pretend to be trans for selfish reasons?

I've seen a number of perverts in my life, but this one would be on a different level. The amount of bullying that boy would receive from other boys would hardly be compensated by him being able to go into the girl's locker when the whole content of the internet porn is readily available.

From reputable news sources?
I'm definitely somebody who likes time to think things over and let my conflicting thoughts resolve themselves.

I think in addition to this, though, I struggle to verbalise many of my thoughts and feelings no matter how long I'm given. I've always struggled with pair programming for this reason – I have a sort of gut instinct about many coding best practices, developed through years of experience, without always being able to efficiently summarise the whys.
> forums have opened that are full of "support specialists" telling you to reset your windows install

God this is such a pet peeve, those stupid Microsoft forums especially where the customer reps spend 80% of the comment apologizing and wishing a good day and suggest fuck all. They ought to just pull the plug on the site and let reddit handle their support for free.
You don't even have to be at a place to catch it from there.

Just the other week, I was talking with a colleague who was in a depressing and stressful work situation, at another company where I've never been.

Hours later, I had an interview (elsewhere), and my brain was in a cautious-of-problems mode, and not the more appropriate excited-about-new-possibilities mode.

Afterwards, I realized it was reflected in questions I asked, voice tone, etc., and then realized why. :)
The computer generated essay and the fake stackoverflow clones are the worst thing ever. It's harder to code now than just a few years ago because of all the BS people put on the internet.

I'm finding some value in live chats with the repo maintainers, but that's not really viable for everything, plus won't be easy for juniors to do either.

The improvements in home construction have diminishing returns. For example my county now requires residential fire sprinkler systems. Such systems aren’t cheap but also don’t provide any real payoff to homeowner on average.

Improved insulation and air sealing is nice, but you’re not going to see anything close to $200k in energy savings over the building’s life vs just blasting your furnace to a comfortable temperature.

Houses certainly have increased in size though.

That holds only for properties which are describable by the Rust's type system, including mentioned thread- and memory-safeness. Things get worse when it comes to async and futures, since RAII doesn't really work with them, and you have to consider cancellation-safeness of libraries' futures, which are noted in documentation only.
