Musk fell in with the alt-right MAGA types, where cruelty is the point. Look at it from Musk's perspective: he pulls a stunt like this, and people rush to his defense, he gets more followers, his impression count goes up, the world starts talking about him, media publishes papers about him, and at the end of the day he's getting richer while doing it. We've created a world where such people can be as awful as they want, and they can insulate themselves from any negative feedback whatsoever. Not only that, they cultivate a following of people who crave their awfulness.

Go read the Twitter comments of people defending Musk. Actually, save yourself the trouble -- they're disgusting. Musk is never going to be the one to tell them they're taking things too far. Instead, Musk is the one who will take it further the next go around, because he knows what they want to hear. There's nothing to rein him in.

Musk has created a vicious cycle for himself that he cannot recognize, and the only way he'll ever break out is if he actually suffers some semblance of negative consequences.
I'm curious what you've heard about them that suggests this?
AGPLv3 would ensure any changes by a big vendor would remain freely licensed. The current license for this project fails to meet the Open Source Definition (Criteria 6: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor) since it restricts offering Bearer as a managed service.
Black Holes Will Eventually Destroy All Quantum States, Researchers Argue
A family friend bought this for our family on the C64 and then my dad got super addicted to it, he was up until 2am most nights trying to crack the game. He would leave work early (he ran his own business) to come home and play it. It also meant no-one else could play the computer or watch TV.

Eventually, I took a biro to the tape, sorry dad, and scribbled across it, which seemed to break it. Finally we were free.
Not exactly what you're describing, but I've been running my band directly into Logic Pro on an M1 (both for recording, and live shows). Dry signals go through amp sims and effects processors, and then route to both a FOH mix and an in-ear mix all on the laptop.

Wish I had seen the OP's project months ago, but one bonus of the setup I describe is the ability to swap effects after the fact (by virtue of having the dry signal) and the ability to automate effects (so I can engage distortion etc as soon as we hit measure XYZ instead of having to click a pedal)
It sounds like your ISP is delegating a prefix, then? Weird, that all sounds reasonable to me. What do you mean the router gives up entirely, though? Computers in the LAN don't get an IP address? Packets go out but nothing comes back?
People lost their jobs at that time not because of inflation, but because of Volcker's efforts to reign in inflation. Throwing people out of work was a feature not a bug. Raising unemployment was his objective, and he achieved that. That's certainly one way to go, but it's not the only way to go. It's not the way I would have gone.
Here is what I ended up with:

Hi,
Is there any software that would allow me to look let's for example for the "top 20 worst performing fin-tech companies on Nasdaq with an employee/revenue ratio higher than X and an Ebitda lower than Y"?
What would be even more amazing would be to match these companies then with online ranking from Google, G2, Trustpilot, Glassdoor and more.

People getting ordinary Rx packages seized are being struck by lightning. There's absolutely no need to bribe a customs official (major crime!) to import some unscheduled pharma (not even a crime). The vast, vast majority of imported pharmaceuticals aren't seized.

Criminals importing scheduled substances aren't bribing US customs either.

It was one of my favourite games on our family's Acorn Archimedes in the early 1990s. I could play the first couple of screens on each of the ~40 themed level sets at age 7-8 or so, and sometimes the third screen, but then they became too difficult. I found it again at age 20 or so, and I could complete some of the level sets (8 screens in each), and I've gone back to it every 5 years or so, but there are still some puzzles I haven't solved.

Here's an early map (Finale screen B) from Repton 3 showing the complexity of the puzzles: https://www.reptonresourcepage.co.uk/GetMap.php?level=2&game... (via https://www.reptonresourcepage.co.uk/ )

When it comes to privacy, for the vast majority of users, sane defaults are better than requiring the user to take manual action.

You say "one way or another". What is the "another" way, and who's advocating it? This page is NOT an invitation to rebuild lodash on every single project. It is not a prescriptive website. It is teaching material.

This page is here, for example, so that people who only know about Lodash can know how it's implemented. If they ever start working on a no-Lodash project, they might not need to import Lodash.

This is not a call-to-arms to uninstall Lodash from all projects and replace with hundreds of functions. Why would it be?
> Nobody has a secure password on their phone, so your requirement fails. There is no way to get a secure password on a phone as one of the requirements of a phone is quick access, and no fast password is secure. (maybe finger prints, but I have found them unreliable and so I quit using them)

I think you’re overextrapolating from your experience. I‘ve used Face ID on my phone for 5-6 years now, and the fingerprint sensors on my recent devices have been very reliable.

If we're talking about fuel for gasoline engines, probably the Bergius process would be more suitable, as that produces fairly high octane gasoline. It was extensively used by Nazi Germany for producing aviation gasoline, FWIW.

Fischer-Tropsch, while more widely known, is better for producing diesel and turbine type fuels.

Though the same basic objections you present are there for the Bergius process as well, capital intensive and consumes a lot of energy, so hard to imagine such fuels being economically viable.
100% agree. My main point is that it is a "just because you can doesn't mean you should" sort of scenario. There are situations where it is allowable, and safe, of course, but it would still generally be considered bad practice unless absolutely necessary.
A wealth tax (instead of income tax) is the best way to reverse the capital hoarding which is destroying modern society. Go after their assets.

The international pharmaceutical trade market is already under fire with contamination and fraud issues as it is. 300.000 to 1 million people are estimated to die each year from that per the WHO [1] - that's frankly insane, and it's not just fake penis enlargement pills that people buy on random spam platforms, but the fraudsters even manage to penetrate into the legitimate supply chain of German pharmacies.

The solution is obvious: more domestic production, and for the US to get their shit together. You don't need to throw pills for every little cough, the fact that y'all have ads for prescription medicine is completely mind-blowing. Like, I go to the doctor with symptoms, not with a shopping list of stuff shilled in yesterday's cable news.

Sure, if you're checking the first 365 requests or you get really lucky and just happen to look that time. Quite unlikely though.
Depends on how helpful the compiler is. This particular compiler had an option to switch off adding in bit shifting code when reading characters and instead set CHAR_BIT to 32, meaning strings would have each character taking up 32 bits of space. (So many zero bits, but already handles emojis.)
Could diamonds kill you in the original Boulder Dash?
In Zig at least, the types-as-values framework means it'd be pretty easy to support arbitrary mixing and matching. If nobody beats me to it, I'll make a library to remove the boilerplate for that idea this weekend.
That's right, we don't want to have someone doing managed service on top of us without a getting a license (or just an agreement). Basically, it's the AWS vs Elastic case, that resulted in this license.

Happy to revisit the license in the future when we feel more protected, but for now, we've seen so much bad behaviors in this industry with big vendors taking advantages of small companies like ours.

Meanwhile, people with more than one bit in their worldview RAM can fall back to validation when it's the only option that makes sense for their domain, and use parsing when it's appropriate, which is, notwithstanding your handful of frankly niche examples compared to the vast bulk of CRUD code, most of the time in practice.
France's deficit is not imaginary. Yes, taxing the right people the right amounts (and successfully getting them to pay) would solve the problem, but the hole that needs to be plugged is 100% real.
For languages with significant whitespace, mixing tabs and spaces can be very error prone. It can look like two lines of code have the same indentation, but if the compiler's tab width doesn't match yours it would not parse correctly. See Haskell for an example of what not to do.

No, that's not the "correct solution". It's another valid solution, with a different set of costs and benefits.
> They'd be able to, but they won't.

Why not? Until recently they were publishing individual packages for every single Lodash function. Publishing different versions that just do or do not exclude a single function is pretty simple by comparison. It seems like you want the project to hold itself back for no good reason.
> Obviously fentanyl is a serious problem in the USA and needs to be tackled

But for some reason it's politically untenable to tackle it in ways that actually help people -- by providing free test strips at corner stores. Being able to easily and reliably test drugs for fentanyl would make using it as an additive worthless.

The US really said "abstinence only" with no self-awareness that it doesn't work for sex, drugs, or rock and roll. Any solution that doesn't involve "no drug use" even if it saves lives is is of no interest. Which is surprising because the people I know who snort cocaine like Dysons are well to do white folks.
It feels all sorts of wrong that a system with access to corporate resources, for something as sensitive as an online secrets management company was also running an entertainment suite.

You do realize that most names are far from unique, right? So what if someone can show that they own john-doe.nation.citizen - you still have no idea if that's the right John Doe. Wanting this identy to persist after death only means there will be even more collisions.
The hyperbole might be intentional, because it might be the only way to get the word out to the marginalised elements of society that are at greatest risk. I agree is not ideal, because it might lead people to ignore it. But the danger is very real.

Default answer for Americans: “Yes it is still illegal, technically it’s smuggling, assuming it’s not a controlled substance.”

Nuanced answer: There is a loophole where Americans can get medicine from overseas if it is the exact same drug/brand/dose as their prescription AND the imported drug was produced under FDA supervision and is labeled for sale in the USA. This used to be a situation where you could get big discounts for the same brand name drug but now they have different brand names for different price markets and they don’t distribute the FDA drugs to India/Turkey/etc or do so at the same wholesale price; so this loophole doesn’t help much. You might find 10-20% discount off domestic retail price but not 80-90%.
Does this form a problem for digital mixing consoles? As far as I know, these already have fairly beefy fans for heat exhaust, so I don't know if they couldn't just add more airflow?
This is a really interesting approach. One thing that surprised me from the code snippet:

fn play_sound()
{$4015}(%100)
{$4008}($FF)

Are these hard-coded memory addresses meaningful to NES devs? I'm surprised that they don't have more readable aliases, like $SOUND_ROM_BASE_ADDR or whatever.
You can be a successful dev without doing a good job. Many people just want to do a good job and don't particularly care about being "successful."

It's not that your coworkers don't know you can get away with doing a bad job, it's that they're not motivated by the same things that you are.

It's true that in some contexts, throwing npm libraries at the wall to see what sticks is delivering organizational value. In many others, it's negative value.
Yet, a large % of EU lawmakers appears to think that the people want this, and are supporting a law that makes it reality.

Sure, some of them are authoritarians who simply want unchecked power, but it’s too cynical to assume that this holds for most.

Many more are old, well-meaning people who are at least slightly afraid of computers and want to help Protect The Children. Showing them that, in fact, The Children themselves aren’t on board with this seems like a decent play to me.
Avoiding floating point doesn't imply BCD. Any representation for integers would do fine, including binary.

There are two reasons for BCD, (1) to avoid the cost of division for conversion to human readable representation as implied in the OP, (2) when used to represent floating point, to avoid "odd" representations in the human format resulting from the conversion (like 1/10 not shown as 0.1). (2) implies floating point.

Eben in floating point represented using BCD you'd have rounding errors when doing number calculations, that's independent of the conversion to human readable formats; so I don't see any reason to think that BCD would have avoided any disasters unless humans were involved. BCD or not is all about talking to humans, not to physics.

From a comment by the author:

> Also, I can't justify why, but my gut feeling is that the database should be an order of magnitude faster than Python, provided the implementation were to be improved.

Would be curious how that could end up being the case. Perhaps if NumPy wasn't used at all? That would mean no vectorization or optimized storage.

Would be interesting to see how it scaled with length and dimensionality
Yes. I've met a bunch of MBAs who hate Musk. What did they accomplish in their professional career? They don't even run their own business, let alone a multi billion dollar disruption. They did the MBA to get a promotion at their blue collar jobs.

Note that the specs are 100 meters in a dense conduit. You can probably manage higher than rated speeds in a household environment which likely doesn't have dense conduit nor 100 meter runs.

If you're wiring from scratch, sure put the best you can afford, but if you've got cat3 in your walls already, see what runs, your NICs aren't going to look at the label on the insulation. (For better or worse, ethernet speed negotation runs at 1Mbps and the specs don't contemplate testing conditions and reducing speeds until you get to the multi-gig (2.5/5/10g) equipment. Some equipment will drop to 100M in drivers though)
I think the worst thing about Python and Blender was not necessarily the choice of language, but the frequent API changes and not having anything close to an IDE-like environment.

Not only did old examples often just not work, there was no serious code completion to facilitate creating anything from scratch.
Then this page could be replaced by looking at lodash's source code. In fact this page is harmful as it does not represent, precisely, what lodash is actually doing and should not be used to understand lodash.

Further, I'm not responding to the page itself, but the discussion here around the page. A lot of developers are using their emotions (e.g. disgust, fear) to navigate their professional role, and I'm suggesting that this need not be the case.

You can set all of that aside and be a highly effective developer. You don't need to care about any of this, and I'm seeing a lot of devs here who think they have to care in order to be effective.
This isn’t secure against evil twins.
Even more so, 6-bit characters were often used (supporting upper case only), in order to squeeze six characters into a word. Great for filenames and user id's. And for text files, 7-bit was enough to get upper and lower case and all the symbols, and you could pack five characters into a word. What could be better?

The Trolley Problem Is All Too Real
Was curious what was meant by 'brain waves'... Says it's using fMRI which search says "Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures the small changes in blood flow that occur with brain activity."

So it's really using magnetic waves to read blood flow... not actually reading/translating 'brain waves'.
You said: "The restaurateurs might be raking it if they own the real estate. If you pay rent for your location you are probably scraping by..."

He may refer to himself as a "restaurateur" or a "restaurateur who is his own landlord" for social status or tax reasons but I am suggesting that this framing is misleading: if his income is primarily as a result of the real estate he owns then his actual occupation is "landlord".

Non-remunerative avocations like, I don't know, building wooden sailboats, painting, community theater, photography, gardening, raising cattle, or managing a restaurant may be intense and rewarding, but if the expectation is that they will have no marginal impact on income one way or the other then they are more like hobbies.
At least in Haskell this can be expressed as type classes. For each condition, you can create a (possibly empty) type class to guarantee that the condition is met. Then the call site type class constraints will be checked at compile time.
That addresses sentiment, but it address the legality of the situation. Mocking a disabled employee or any person is clearly discrimination and is very much illegal.
On the left I think it is a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good.

One possible explanation for why we got the ACA instead of open Medicare when Democrats had the power under Obama is open Medicare enrollment has a greater chance of preventing Universal single pair down the road.

Open Medicare enrollment is also in some ways close to the status quo of Medicaid.

Lastly, it is a risky option because it pits Medicare directly against private insurance- what if it isn't cheaper or people don't like it
As a counter point, I've used several and have found them all more or less fine. It's always been the quality of the lead / PM that mattered _far_ more, and I've never seen bike shedding / switching around tracking tools to offer any value. Old (extremely slow) JIRA was the only time I felt the tool was really affecting the team's productivity, but the last several years JIRA cloud has seemed fine too.

I can appreciate preferring customizable tools, but if I were to personally choose for the company I'd prefer a constrained and opinionated one. Not coincidentally, this is analogous to the choice many companies make in their programming languages / linters the team's use.
