This is par for the course for Android, having had to work with it at the hardware enablement level. Google will refactor and break everything in a dot release, and then swear up and down that their code is perfect, even as you point them directly to the commit that caused the issue.

I think in this context "ad hoc" refers to the context in which that syntax was added. IIRC the original creators were against generics ever being added to Golang, so they wouldn't have thought about their eventual introduction when choosing Go's initial syntax. The result is that the generics that eventually were added feel awkward and "bolted on" to many people.

(I don't have any strong opinions on it personally, because I'm not invested in that particular ecosystem. I'm merely attempting to distil what I've heard from other people.)
You absolutely can justify infinity - even if your real system can't represent numbers larger than X, you can't guarantee that won't change in the future.

For example, in C, integers have minimum sizes, but no maximum. We're lucky nobody ever went, "well, our PDP-11 can only go up to 2^16, so let's set the maximum there."

That's not to say it doesn't make sense to limit things after a certain point, but you'd damn well better be able to justify it, especially if you're using a recursive data structure that could absolutely grow to infinity if needed.

Yet in the meantime UCLA got 146K applications this year, and UCSD more than 130K. Students with 4.3+ weighted GPAs and 15+ APs still got rejected. UC's admission officers (AO) in their pubic talks made it clear that academic performance account for only 40% in admission, extracurricular activities another 40%, and personality 20%. So, UC systems give AOs 60% of the discretion! How is it different from the garbage Xiaolian System that Chinese used before the Tang dynasty? But I digressed. The point is the demand for top-tier university is nothing but higher.

>There's a difference between rolling into town for a day or three and disrupting things to get noticed, and setting up residency for weeks. There are limits to protests and free speech.

Again, I'm not arguing for unlimited protests, I'm simply expressing skepticism that people are consistently applying their standards for "protests that aren't okay and we should get the cops to crack down on". Based on your responses it seems like you agree that some level of illegality should be allowed, but draw the line at "a day or three". Was this arrived at a principled way? How do you feel about the following protests, which probably lasted more than that?

* Cop City protests in Georgia

* George Floyd protests in the Minneapolis area

* Capitol Hill Occupied Protest

* Hong Kong protests

* Occupy Wall St

* 1989 Tiananmen Square protests
This is easily misunderstood (e.g. many peer comments). It's a design structure heuristic. It isn't about the limit in there. It's about the style of algorithm or data structure.

An obvious example is something like you want to support a primary data source and if something is missing there you want to fall back.

Either you implement it is as no fallback, you implement it as one fallback, or you write your code to support arbitrary fallbacks. What you shouldn't do is specifically support two fallbacks.

Another example is something like say you want to have badges on a user. You want to store this in the backend and then you want to display badges next to their comment.

Suppose you decide you want to allow a maximum of 3 badges per user.

Conforming to 0-1-infinity is about having a badge[]. Not conforming to it is having, on your User, a badge1, badge2, and badge3.

The two rules of 0-1-infinity and always-have-a-limit are orthogonal.

I don’t argue at all with the key point about Russian propaganda. However, all major governments engage in propaganda, to their own people and people in other countries. To not do so seems like it would be incompetence, not taking advantage of an inexpensive way to push other countries around.

As a matter of fact, I do wish our government had done more to help people in Ohio. Our secretary of transportation, ‘Mayor Pete’, was shameful in his inactivity, as he was in not helping travelers during various airline problems.

I don’t know much about the AP News, but I would be curious if they covered the hardships of the people living near the spill in Ohio.

Very obviously NATO foothold, that's the "North Atlantic alliance".

If you had a "human sized" display (let's say 2m x 2m), that you could stand next to, and it showed footage of a real size analog caliper that you had to read, I wouldn't be surprised if you needed something like 128K video or more.

Not an expert or a mechanic but in general find engines to be "more clicky" when low/lower on oil - had generally thought this to be the sound of the valves actuating. With less oil the sound is more pronounced. Maybe the "lower pitch" and the rest of the sound has to do with the high compression ratio (and exhaust or lack thereof).
TDI engines can sound super clicky compared to larger truck engines

Pretty good discussion here as well (cool didn't even know there _was_ mechanics stackexchange): https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/26513/whats-th...

Edit: would assume 4-cyl pistons need to actuate/fire ~twice as much as an 8-cyl engine at equivalent rpms? maybe that would explain smaller engines being more clicky idk

> The comment advocated that scientists should profess to be philosophers.

This context is helpful, thanks.

I didn't advocate anything. I said that it bothers me is that (some) scientists profess not to be philosophers. This is because, in fact, scientists, like all people, actually are philosophers.

> It is because I saw the comment as being part of the genre of people who attempt to raise the status of their field

My field is not philosophy.

> by laying an unwarranted claim to the accomplishments of others.

Neither did I make any claims in my original comment. You seem to have extrapolated quite a lot from a single sentence.

> Philosophy and philosophers do not deserve credit for the accomplishments of science.

The origin of science is obviously philosophical; indeed, Western science is theological in origin (and so is Eastern if you want to broaden your definition of theology a bit). It is equally obvious, if perhaps a bit ironic, that modern science has distanced itself from its earlier foundations.

The attempt to provide a second JPEG-XL implementation has stalled. Two independent implementations are the bar for a web standard. AVIF meets it, JPEG-XL does not.

There has been enough 3rd party interest to create multiple AV1/AVIF implementations. JPEG-XL has its original team (doing great work), and then… commenters lamenting, but nobody else invested enough to actually to write the code.

Browsers' goal is not just to have every benchmark-winning format. They also need to minimize attack surface, risk of bug-compatibility (which is why one and only implementation is not sufficient), and watch out for long-term costs of code size, maintenance, and technical debt. New codecs can be added at any time, but can never be removed.

AV1 got in, because video really needed an answer to the looming threat of patented expensive H.265. There was a risk of repeating the pains of H.264 support, and this time without Cisco's licensing loophole. Then AVIF got in, because AV1 was already in. It's that simple.
Upvoted, but I have a slight difference as to the best way to help the underprivileged: it’s better to just give money without any strings or designated purposes. This preserves the full competition and downward cost pressure since people can always use some or all of the money elsewhere.

If you provide funding (loans or cash) that is earmarked, then it serves as a price floor and upward cost pressure on that thing.

Let’s just give everybody $20k per year between ages 18-22, with no strings.

I disagree because reading is just one use case. Sometimes longer lines make it easier to skim because you aren't needing to read everything, just letting your brain pattern match as you move along. In that case it can be better to fit more blocks of text in the viewport.

No, but animated GIFs have been standard in browsers for so long that I think you'd end up breaking lots of things. Loading spinners, for example, are often GIFs. Maybe you'd prefer if those were static, but suspect many users would think a website and/or their browser was broken if they didn't move.
I don’t know how you’re so sure. That whole page is describing an experience I don’t have.

No, it’s hidden behind a hamburger menu, no longer immediately visible.

> Why is the table of contents hidden sometimes? this should no longer be the case.

No, now it’s hidden for all articles.

> Why is the article width limited to 960px?

Not applicable; 960px is already the width of my viewport.

> Why is there so much empty space?

This is the reverse of my experience; due to the widening of the main column and removal of the inline table of contents, there is now less empty space.

> Case 7 (default for all below 1000px)

Sounds to me like I got lumped in with the phones.

Increasingly many websites exhibit this mode of failure so it’s not implausible for it to be a common blind spot.
> the other ingredients we think are filler, but they are actually necessary to stabilize the active ingredients?

Tablets are cheaper to make than capsules, so you’ll at least have filler, if not binders as some molecules don’t stick together well. Other times they’ll stick together too well and not dissolve without something to help.

If you put a milligram of an active ingredient in a capsule, everyone will think you sold them empty capsules.

I like to use spaced repetition for everything.

I used it so much it has become sort of a "Corgnitive Primitive" where I put everything there: Questions, Facts, Interesting Things, Calendar Events, Prompts, Writing Tips, Mutate-this-idea, Mood Controls, Historical Events and Dates, Todos(Spaced Repetition Productivity?) etc.

One example would be: I've grown from a (...) to a (...).
I complete the (...) with something from my current mood. This is good because I'm accumulating "Writings" from myself to publish a novel, manga or story later on. When I need to write something then I just consult my notes for everything I have written at that moment.

I'm currently working on a tool[1] that has built-in Spaced Repetition(I made my own algorithm and don't use SM-2[Anki's Algorithm])

I would very much like to see the pardon powers be limited by extending it. You should never be able to commute any one person’s sentence or pardon any one person.

It should be all or nothing.

Want to pardon someone who has been convicted for lying to a federal agent? You must pardon everyone currently serving a sentence for lying to a federal agent. No exceptions.

Also the whole idea of pardoning someone who has not even been charged with a crime, let alone convicted is just morally bankrupt. I was not born yet back then but I’m glad that Ford lost the POTUS election after such blatant corruption.
