The question would be why bother with 3rd-party resolvers in that case?

NB I have a slightly different setup - I run Unbound locally and route DNS requests through the 'suitable machine' on VPS over VPN established by my LAN router. I considered moving the resolver there but didn't yet found the setup what would be usable for me when I would be out of my LAN. Opening my resolver to the whole world is the way to be a part of the bot relays for DDoS attacks, so this is out of question.
>unless you have the horrible idea of using mnesia

WhatsApp used (uses?) mnesia, what is the problem with it?
I'm guessing that a great deal of this warning is false positive. Thus, using "Did you fall?" when a false positive occurs doesn't provide enough context for the alert.

Remember that the Apple Watch is just guessing. Hence, using "It looks like" is more appropriate. Otherwise, a tech illiterate senior might not understand why the Apple is suddenly asking if he/she fell so directly when there is a false positive.

I like Apple's version more.
It is getting harder and harder to believe that you are participating in this conversation in good faith, and this post is dead anyway so this will be my last reply.

The argument was over whether Covid-19 evolved naturally and was spread to humans from a colony of wild bats or was engineered at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was subsequently leaked. The leak theory was, in those unenlightened times, considered "right wing propaganda".

This is the article in question if you care to read it:
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/man-behind-global-coronavir...

The article says that the outbreak probably originated from the lab, and this is the guy that is capable of engineering it. It then goes on to list papers he published and research he was involved in. That list of papers, and the job posting cited in the article coupled with the geographic origin of the infection being colocated with the lab sure look like evidence to me. Circumstantial evidence, sure, but evidence all the same. Talk about mischaracterization.
> So 79% of theses houses weren't sold?

Likely they were bought by people who already have houses, as investments.

Your logic, that over-expensive housing won't sell at all, only holds if people are only buying houses that they will live in: to a first approximation, people generally live in just one house.
An interesting puzzle. Raises questions about why the definition of affordable is "a listing ... [where] the estimated monthly mortgage payment is no more than 30% of the local county’s median income.".

How did this figure get picked and what does it really mean? In a wealthy district where people are saving a lot of money, obviously they can afford, in the literal sense, interest payments that are higher than that.
Sometimes they're unavoidable, when you simply have no idea, or can't think of all the things that could go wrong, it's better to give an error code than a generic, something went wrong, message.

I've had worse though, when a UX design specified a specific error message and a developer blindly followed it and simply remapped errors to the given message, ignoring what the actual error was, misleading the users and the developers.
I've told UX to never include error messages again..
The people who make those decisions aren't doing leetcode tests. Do you think that Thomas Kurian passed a leetcode test? Of course he didn't, the people who make business decisions are in another pipeline that is just a normal management interview.

>There are a couple of drawbacks to Ruff that mean it may not be right for everyone: since it’s a compiled tool, it’s harder to add custom rules — you need to fork the project to add your own, and also you need to know some Rust.

That might not be unsurmisable, given that most don't write their own rules (just combine, configure, enable/disable existing ones), and that in could be possible to add to Ruff a way to write rules in a DSL (without knowing Rust itself, and without the need recompile).
Maybe that's an overreaction to the enterprise Java applications, which often introduce lots of needless complexity in the accept to incorporate flexibility for future changes

Hmm, "vector units" isn't the right term because GPUs usually don't use those. It's better to write your shaders in terms of scalars.
You're misunderstanding the point behind credit scoring.

Banks lending you money don't care (at least not as a primary concern) how much money you have, their first concern is whether you have a history of paying back debt you owe. A credit score scores you on your ability and willingness to pay back your debts on time.

And yes, this means someone who takes on debt with a credit card only to immediately pay the balance before any interest accrues both has a stellar credit score and no debt in any practical sense.

This also means someone who is making their house or car payments properly also has a good credit score, outstanding debts negatively affecting the credit score slightly notwithstanding.
Honestly, all I care about is speed. Couple of word swaps here and there using a thesaurus, who gives a shit.

> Phoenix is bad in environments with bad wi-fi

I think people conflate LiveView with Phoenix. I think the former is a little over-hyped, has a high learning curve, has an impedance mismatch with usual web developer tooling and libraries, as well as the latency issues you describe. In the app I'm building I've used it for only part of the functionality. The rest is a plain old SPA and a few templated SSR pages. My other experience lies mainly with Django/C#, but I'd say Phoenix is highly ergonomic for making boring websites, has sensible abstractions for database mapping and date/time, and has integrations with every service I've encountered. I do, however, look forward to making some pure LiveView projects in the future as I gain more experience with it, and it does make sense for realtime collaborative tools where always online is a soft-requirement.
You can’t “terms and conditions” your way out of the card network rules which you agreed to when setting up a merchant account to accept card payments - those will take precedence regardless of what your own terms say and generally favor the cardholder.
Can’t read any comments - I have an ad blocker on, so I suspect it’s JS? Should be all static.
This explains why "AI" definitely needs human oversight and control, especially at thr current stage.
The only issue I have with them is limited area to put your bags. Is the space made for ants? In college I was a cashier so I still have a 6th sense about where UPC/QR codes are and I can buzz through items as fast as most cashiers, however the limited bagging areas are very annoying.
> Night workers?

Do you mean nightshift workers or mizu shobai workers? If you are talking about nightshift workers, then that's just a matter of semantics (9-5PM == full time employment, even if that means two part time jobs ).

As for mizu shobai workers, I think would it be disingenous to suggest this is somehow more honorable and respected by society and older generations/parents than saying being a certified professional. Sure, the male hosts in Shinjuku are making multiples more than a FANG employee in the states, but part of the pay is the judgement by societal at large. Yes, in some social classes being a suit-wearing office worker with a stable income is respected, and in Kabukicho circles drinking with lonely and emotionally vulnerable clients until you cough up blood is respected.

Japan's most recent revision to the visas allowed tech workers who make over 20 million yen (~$150k usd) a year to skip the regular lines at the airport, and use the line reserved for government diplomats and ambassadors. The other requirement is that you have a masters degree. Point being, there is a strong emphasis on pedigree in Japan.

> retirees

Retired. But if you're talking about elderly people, Japan also has a larger percentage of the elderly working. https://www.jil.go.jp/english/jli/documents/2022/039-04.pdf

> freeters

A subset of this will wear it as a badge of honor, but another subset can't get hired. One reason for not being able to get hired is that Japanese companies want to hirer young, straight out of school, and invest in the long term. Freeters are excluded from this cohort, and also because employers feel this is a red flag.

Even from Wikipedia, the negative perception from Mass Media and society is clearly laid out, so bringing up freeters and attitudes towards them only furthers my claims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeter. The ones that are subsidized by their parents are referred to as "Parasite Singles" by the Japanese.

> This has been changing, it's not as true of newer companies and startups.

Not as true, but still true.

White collar workers still have to clock in and clock out.

I will believe this when people Wordpress dominance starts trending down and people stop holding meetups in every city. There are even consultancies for Squarespace. Meanwhile, less developed countries in the region such as Indonesia has an order of magnitude healthier startup ecosystem, including more unicorns. Banks and traditional industries have begun their DX (digital transformation) but it's long way to go when the most foreigner friendly bank's website goes down for a day of maintanence every month, and require strange login rules such as usernames having to have no more than 3 consecutives alphabetic or numbers. Meanwhile, passwords can't have special characters.
I mostly agree with you on this one. But regarding “swipe for help”: typically I avoid UI labels that reference the action to be taken (“tap”, “swipe”, etc).

Good UI design should render the action obvious - a button should look tappable, a slider slidable and so on. That way the label can use its minimal estate to focus on describing the action instead.

“Swipe for help” might also be suitably ambiguous that some users think it means “get help” in the sense of an info page, or assistance.

I’d go with something like “(SOS) Make emergency call” or regional equivalent. Combined with a more obviously swipable UI design.

Ideally then usability test on 50 people to seen if it works!
They aren’t guaranteed, but the author has nothing to lose trying it anyway. I’ve had great success with them personally.
I've been trying to get into Elixir and I figured Phoenix was the way to do it, but I have to agree about the resources for Phoenix, learning it has been a nuisance, and sucked all the fun out that I might have been unfairly expecting.

Elixir itself has been enjoyable, but I have a project to build now, so it's either back to Rails or revisit PHP after 17 years.
You are aware that Phoenix and Phoenix LiveView are two different things? Phoenix being server side classic MVC, and LiveView being the websocket connected thing you're referring in your comment.
It's a quite normal situation.

For example, when I started working in NLP, I did some things with the CYK algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYK_algorithm), which was defined in three papers by three separate authors. While I learned the algorithm from secondary sources, I of course cited the original papers (because one has to acknowledge the original author of the algorithms one uses). At that point, I wanted to read the original papers, even if just for curiosity, but they were impossible to find (I think one of them was available, but behind an outrageous paywall).

Now those papers are easier to find, but anyway I don't think I'd encourage a grad student to read them except for curiosity, the algorithm has been explained much better and in more accessible ways in more modern papers. Which doesn't mean that we shouldn't acknowledge the discoverers.
And the suppression of information has caused grave harm and denied people the right to weigh the risks and benefits of COVID vaccines, which can cause hearing damage. This is happening on this site right now, as any attempt to convey this information (including supporting links from various well-known sources, including National Geographic) is buried and flagged on this page.

There is no excuse for it. But here it is again, for the FIFTH TIME, and not the last if scumbags continue to try to bury these facts and put people at risk:

After experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus following my last COVID booster (which was nearly useless), I have seen two of the top specialists in the country, who were quite vehement in assuring me that this is a "true agent" and that information on it has been suppressed.

> ATI’s Radeon and NVIDIA’s RIVA TNT2 were now offering higher performance at roughly the same price

Minor nitpick - Voodoo 3 and TNT2 weren't competing with Radeon. Among that generation were the 3dfx Voodoo 3, NVidia TNT2, S3 Savage4 and Matrox G400 - ATI's offering around this time was the Rage Fury.

The ATI Radeon was part of the next generation, along with the Geforce 256 and S3 Savage 2000.

edit: or possibly even the one after that? Wikipedia tells me the Rage Fury MAXX was out around the same time as Geforce 256, and Radeon only showed up around the time of the GeForce 2 family. The MAXX slipped from my memory, it was pretty iirc finicky card (performing badly and having buggy drivers, possibly hardware?) and a bit of a disappointment.
For reference, my mortgage from 13 years ago was 4.85%, the one I got 6 months ago was 4.25%, about 1.5 years ago we got 2%. When I was born in the early 80's, my parents were doing 12%. Of course, housing prices adapt so that banks always extract a nice, steady amount from the people. Even more nowadays, when there's more to extract because more women started working. More to the daycare, more to the banks, the American (and European now as well) dream of barely making it!
Disposable males, no longer useful, are disposed.
"most" does a lot of work for you there.

People buy house for a plethora of reason, walkability, school district, commute, safety, etc. and that's not even getting into anything about the actual house! square footage, back yard, front yard, garage, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc.

People want the most of what they value but two different people with the exact amount of money to spend on a house would likely choose different houses that they both consider the "most". And if you give those people the same amount of money and tell them they must buy a house but they can keep any money they don't spend, they'd probably make a different choice, buying "less" house than the can afford.

People generally buy the house that the like the most that also fits their needs/wants, same with avocados. Sometimes I buy them ripe because I want to eat them today, sometimes I buy want them for a few days in the future for a specific occasion but not more than I can use. Sometimes I just buy them because they're on sale and I like them.

That's worse and confusing for the end user in the long run. It's also difficult and costly to keep two development lines in parallel. And confusing when giving support. My bank still has an old and a new site (or at least design) and that's been going for 5 years. Insane.
Presumably the choice is not roads or sane addresses though. Costa Rica is an upper-middle income country with the GDP per capita of China, for crying out loud. And poor addressing systems are also considered to have a huge economic drag.

A yes or no question doesn’t make much sense when there isn’t a way to respond to that question. And even if there was, perhaps to help train Apple’s detection algorithm, that really shouldn’t be the main call to action. The point of the feature isn’t to impress you with how accurately it detected falls. It’s to get you help if you need it.

What is the source for being "supposed to" do that?

I have always practiced and encouraged the opposite. To cite the original source, even in the unfortunate cases where it can't be read (there's an example from mine in another thread in this post).

It's a matter of giving credit where credit is due. It wouldn't make sense, e.g., for a seminal paper to not be cited because a later survey paper by different authors explained the findings better.

Not much is happening, but still they added support for HDPI and minor fixes.

As incredible as it may seem, MFC has better integration with Direct2D (on WinUI, Win2D still is missing features from its UWP version), and doing COM is much better than the ATL/WRL experience that C++/WinRT team loves so much (without any Visual Studio support for IDL files and code generation workflows).
"Real" is a term of art for something inflation-adjusted, as opposed to nominal. That's it. Scare quotes and metaphysical discussion of realness are inferring deeper meaning that isn't there. Of course you can have expectations about real interest rates: if expected real and nominal interest rates are about equal, you'd tend to feel that keeping your money under your mattress is about as attractive as keeping your money in treasuries.

(8s was the best I managed but still a "fender bender").
I guess he is talking about macros and perhaps the syntax which I also didn't like and is one of the reasons why I consider PHP better (even though the naming and parameters inconsistency could be better). Check for yourself:

```
iex> length([1, 2, 3]) == length [1, 2, 3]
true
```

or (taken from the Elixir docs):

---

Take the following code:

```
if variable? do
Call.this()
else
Call.that()
end
```

Now let’s remove the conveniences one by one:

do-end blocks are equivalent to keywords:

`if variable?, do: Call.this(), else: Call.that()`
Keyword lists as last argument do not require square brackets, but let’s add them:

`if variable?, [do: Call.this(), else: Call.that()]`
Keyword lists are the same as lists of two-element tuples:

`if variable?, [{:do, Call.this()}, {:else, Call.that()}]`
Finally, parentheses are optional, but let’s add them:

`if(variable?, [{:do, Call.this()}, {:else, Call.that()}])`
That’s it! Those four rules outline the optional syntax available in Elixir. Those rules apply everywhere consistently, regardless of the construct you are invoking. Whenever you have any questions, this quick walk-through has you covered.

---

I don't like this possiblity to use so many syntaxes good, especially if you deal with mulitple parameters in functions. Elixir doesn't have C-like semicolons or braces like in Lisp so multiple parameters are hard to parse sometimes.

The creator of Elixir himself answered that one of the things he thinks he could do better at the beginning was to make the syntax more strict and he mentions the optional () e.g. IO.puts "Hello" vs IO.puts("Hello").
Terrible next level, that's unpaid work and it's already a thing in interviewing at some unethical companies.
Construction costs are a much bigger deal than NIMBYism or anything else anyone has mentioned so far.

We had easily affordable housing in California, including in Silicon Valley, until probably the 1990s. NIMBYism and property taxes (including Prop 13) have existed since the 1970s at least, zoning hasn't changed much since then, and geographical constraints are eternal. We also didn't have a Georgist land-value tax or any other nonsense; housing was affordable without all that stuff.

So why was housing cheaper then?

Well, consider the case of a friend of mine who recently built an ADU and was told it had to have solar panels because of a new state law. At least $25-30k is added to the cost of any residential construction just because of that one thing. That is only one of the many things that new buildings need that were not required in the past.

When you try to provide housing to other people the government makes you suffer for it.

We are regulating ourselves into this corner. Quite a lot of the building codes have nothing to do with safety or habitability.
