By ML you mean machine learning or meta language?

Rails is a fine framework with "batteries included", if you are looking for a monolith then Rails is a good option. I have no experience with Django but I see no reason to believe why Django would not be as capable as Rails.

As of Hotwire, It's not only for Rails, other frameworks like Laravel & Django can use it too, Hotwire is more an idea of alternative approach to SPAs.
I'd be less curious about the shop and more about how much they tip
I doubt they would let me get bored one day and figure out how the Bluetooth stack worked without being told “no, I really can’t be an iBeacon, get over it”.

Also, text editor and gcc is all I ever need. How many hoops would I have to jump through to get GPL programs unprohibited on iOS?
It won't, but economic progress will.

Most rich countries are increasing forest (reforesting, not deforesting).
One of the best things from my childhood was writing operating systems in Emu8086 https://youtu.be/flj4PDalKrc I'm glad to see we finally have a web based version! For a moment, I was excited and thought the little ball in the bottom right hand corner was an LLM. Although it looks like it needs more work:

Worried you're applying to a 'ghost job'? Here are some ways to tell
A totally valid question! I did adopt the smartphone for many, many years. My father had a gen-1 iPhone which captured my imagination. At the same time, I've also never really let them run my life. I've habitually always maintained the old (Apple?) hub-and-spoke model where the PC is the core and everything else is a mobile extension of it.

I do own some, but they don't get used for much (browser-on-the-go, mostly).

Smartphones are definitely better all-rounders, but what I've come to adopt in recent years is a hobby of finding whatever tech/concept seems "best" to me (from any period in time) and then using that. Sometimes that means hardware from 1920, sometimes from today (e.g. I have a current-gen GPU to join the AI arms race). Sometimes that means a modern evolution of the concept without losing the spirit.

Easy examples:

* iPod -> Music player w/ FLAC + 1TB SD

* Gameboy -> Analogue Pocket (or sometimes original
hardware)

* A modern standalone camera, etc.

It's sort of like living in the dream version of 2002 where tech stayed hopeful and fun (not sure if that's good or bad). Definitely brought me the most joy in tech I've had in years.

PDAs (and a _lot_ of tech from <2010) have the advantage of still being built entirely to serve the user. For my needs, I basically view it as day-planner or complement to a notepad and don't expect it to be a smartphone. My opinion is that these devices basically "solved" the digital calendar by ~1999 and that almost every calendar feature since (except maybe sharing) usually serves some other business need in addition to the user, or is just clunkier.

A PDA just wants to take good notes, manage the day's work, and be a simple extension of your mind. Most modern tasks (that don't require a network connection to be useful) have apps that still exist and don't spy on you: Food journals, encrypted notes, flashcards, project management, ebooks, cached news, Wordle, period trackers...

So, if your life today doesn't _depend_ on a specific vision of modernity, you don't miss out on much of it while benefiting from some forgotten UX benefits: Offline-first, great UI, week-long batteries (AAA if so inclined), Graffiti input, etc. :)

I have no urge to say better or worse. Just different.
For language you might be interested in the Clozemaster[0] approach. Basically, you are shown a sentence, both in English and the language you want to learn, and one of the words in either one is a cloze deletion, e.g.:

English: there are thirty days in April.

French: il y a trente ___ en avril

And you have to complete the cloze with "jours".

The sentences are compiled automatically from Tatoeba[1], the cloze deletion is done on the least-common word[2]. This combines vocabulary with grammar.

I didn't like the Clozemaster UI so I wrote a script to make the clozes myself: https://borretti.me/article/building-diy-clozemaster

But automatic approaches are not great. Later I asked GPT-4 to make these flashcards for me, that gave me much better/more meaningful results.

Sadly in many chips this is not possible. Eg STM32H7 has 3 types of DMA units and each has a complex table of where they can read and write from. Two kinds of DMA cannot write to anywhere that contains a DMA controller.

Rp2040 is rather unique in how powerful its DMA units are due to their reach. But it also has faults. Its DMA units seemingly cannot access GPIO, since that is bolted directly to the core (via the single cycle IO port). The only way to affect pins from DMA is via PIO as far as I can tell.

Because "Afghanistan" only exists when the tribal autonomy is threatened otherwise Afghanistan has no real central government and it seems there is no will to be centrally governed. A completely different way of life the west continues to not understand. China will divide and conquer as it does in other similar regions just by making it too painful to not take their money when your local competition is.
Is there much that absolutely can’t be ran on OpenBSD without dropping into code? With its history of sane security it might offer some useful applications now.
What about an autogpt, that essentially becomes a 'replicator' for software?

Think about it, one company, one software that can do anything, be anything from an ERP system to a CRM, etc... people want different ui/ux? It can know using A/B testing/analytics exactly what ui/ux YOU want and give you a personalized one, no big deal. It can be a specialized software for real estate or the auto sales industry etc, all while training it's replacement in the background.

We're not far from having something like this, there's value in that to the person probably who creates it, but crypto never had the reach that AI has in the ways it could disrupt society for better or worse.
It's not even that -- the relevant measure is revenue beat/miss, not absolute numbers.
Lead-free is fine.

Lead-free with poor quality flux is abhorrent to use.

Get good quality lead-free with good flux from a reputable manufacturer (Kester is good, as you mentioned) and it's fine.

In fact, I prefer how thin and quick to wet out SAC305 is over the lower melting point of Sn63Pb37.
The POSIX standard defines ed as one of the editors that must be present for a system to be standard complaint, the other being vi I believe. You can always expect ed to be available to you on a Unix system.
What DRM do you have in mind? I can't find anything about that on their website. On the contrary - they say you just put a license key in and can work offline - no sever pinging or similar I was expecting.
It doesn't work in SSG, no, but it works in SSR just as if you hosted on Vercel itself. That's what I do, SSR instead of SSG, because for my app the distinction is unnecessary if I'm hosting it myself.
> The REPL is not on par. You can run an in-editor REPL and build your entire program in a REPL session. Combined with tap you can visualize your output on the fly.

I would like to point out, for fellow Lispers who enjoy REPL driven development, that you can do this with Python in Emacs via Elpy. `elpy-shell-send-statement` is something like `eval-last-sexp` or `geiser-eval-last-sexp` or... etc.

A couple points:

1. Last I checked (admittedly not recently), Lambda throttles CPU proportionally to memory size, e.g. as I recall a 128MB instance is throttled to 1/8 CPU core, 256MB is 1/4, etc. Workers never throttles.

2. The same code running on Workers will use far less memory than when running on Lambda. In fact, the average Worker uses around 3MB RAM. The difference here is that Lambda is counting the memory for the whole runtime process, e.g. a Node.js process, whereas with Workers the runtime is shared with other tenants and only the pure JavaScript heap usage counts against the memory limit.

So, 128MB goes further with Workers.

That said, obviously some apps need more. At present we don't have a way to increase this limit, but we're working on it.

(I'm the tech lead for Workers.)
Not to forget the recession that we may or may not be past. Repo rates might be one of the earlier signals of a recession, but I'd wager that declining boutique tech sales would occur even earlier (even if they are only reported later).

good point, I'm doing this with chatGPT, I use a long conversation with 3.5 to help me write prompts for 4, it's fun, when I hit the rate cap on 4 I'll go back to 3.5 with what 4 came up with, then converse on the topic until my 4 cap lifts, combine that with being able to ask bing for things like links and current information and dalle for image based visualisations makes for an intriguing combination, bard gets a look in to but so far seems a little shy compared to 4 or bing.
In some markets, the last 2-3 years of price increases put a LOT of folks over the $250,000 (x2 for married couples) gains deduction. I wonder how many folks are hesitant to sell at a price that'll cost a serious amount of taxes if they're going to end up buying a new overpriced house anyway. Folks in major metro areas could see some serious costs due to those taxes.
One interesting thing I don’t see enough people talking about is the decline in early-life sexual activity that goes along with this [0].

It appears somewhat caused by the fact that the “do it yourself experience” used to be a very inferior product, which drove people to find a partner, even if it meant significant compromise.

Now, you’re one search away from stimulation that might actually make it better than what’s available to you in your local community.

What may be shocking to some people is that this phenomenon applies to people of any gender, and is likely a contributing factor to the “incel” phenomenon (some of the more awkward among us used to benefit by being “the best available local option” so to speak).

But ofc no-one wants to talk about it because it’s a bit gross to do so.

With machine learning you have the same kind of problems with an added factor of unpredictability.

ML to make the recommendations more dynamic per user means people are not seeing the same things and engagement tanks.

ML to make the recommendations more global means a lot of people are going to see stuff they don't care about and they're going to have no idea why. It's usually this family of problems that ML adds an extra layer of opacity to the most.

Then you add extra tabs to give the user more control, and now you've added a fresh complexity trade off.

The sanest aggregators have simplistic recommendation algorithms and a bunch of janitorial work on top in the form of moderation/censorship. There must be something to this formula.
I suspect there's no unified model that is ideal, yes. But I'm not a designer or ui expert at all, just have built some interfaces using it. CSS's approach seems more practical, basically letting you define a set of constraints for different scenarios with overrides and defaults available.

Again and I really want to stress this because it's important and maybe unintuitive or hard for us to accept as engineering minded folks. You can't sit down with a pen and paper and numbers that describe a good interface in a given scenario (size, ratio, pixel density, colorspace, etc), and using only math transpose that interface to a different scenario. If you can do this, it's because you have enough experience and intuition with the measures to make good estimates. But these are not properties of the numbers. The numbers describe a good interface, they don't create it.
The article is about someone following what is basically the established diagnostic and treatment flow for sleep apnea. It’s not exactly an experiment. He was pushing the process forward faster than his medical system could, but it wasn’t novel or experimental.

> just be careful not to overspend on your first iron. I first learned how to solder on an ultra-cheap hardware-store unit, and you should, too

I beg to differ.

I used to suck at soldering, and while I'm still no expert, swapping my €20 basic soldering iron for a serious Weller unit (starting at €150) changed everything. The Weller heats up almost instantly, goes up as high as you want, and stays at a constant temperature.

When using bad tools you don't know if it's you or the tools that are bad, and the path to improvement is unclear.
Take a look into division rings as a concept. The usual definition for division in rings and fields is via multiplicative inverses for some subset of the nonzero elements. Not all algebraic spaces have division, but that doesn't change what it is, especially from the "number theory, fields, and rings" point of view.

Unless you're talking about some higher-order concept?

Edit: For a bit of completeness, what's happening with the Riemann Sphere is that the algebraic definition is being extended in a way that has some useful analytic, topological, and quality-of-life properties, but which is no longer wholly compatible with the underlying algebra. The algebraic issues are isolated to the extra point at infinity, so they're not terrible to work around, but the operation in question is a proper extension of the underlying algebraic definitions -- much how the gamma function in no way can be defined as multiplication of integers but is a useful extension of the factorials nonetheless.

This does not really "guarantee" anything. You can still have as much UB (incl leaks) as you want, as long as they are not evaluated at compile-time. i.e. it's at best equivalent to running valgrind.

If you could elaborate on the topic it would be really great, I know so many people who blame everything in their life, most of all their lack of discipline with, oohhhhh my brain needs dopamine, i just need that doppaamine, and serotonin, you can increase it by bla bla talking about the brain like it is an engine that runs on oil gas, sparks and timing.

Last time I checked we knew next to nothing about how our brains really work in depth.
There are more than a few free apps that can record audio of you the entire night in a zoomable, scrollable way (i.e. you look for the spikes in the waveform and listen to them) I used these for a bit in figuring out my own CPAP needs.
Youre telling me that viewing porn does not spike dopamine? Well youre fucking wrong. This is obviously true.

And of course there is such a thing as a dopamine system. You have dopamine and dopamine receptors, Id call that a system. How do you think amphetamines work? Norepenephrine and dopamine.

This is a weird comment
Thanks - I was not aware that theorem provers often allow "division" by zero.

Looking at https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/2020/07/05/division-by-zer... I see that they don't use mathematical division, but define a slightly different operator with an additional condition for handling zero. This appears to be far more convenient for theorem provers.

The trade-off would be that "division" is no longer the inverse of multiplication.
What's a "connection"? I'd assume prostitution wouldn't count.
Is it strange there’s no mention of the chip shortage? Bloomberg was even reporting on it wrt TSMC as little as 4 months ago [1]. Isn’t a slowdown a good thing and the predictable end of the chip shortage? TSMC gets no credit now for having caught up? It’ll never cease to amaze me that our economy and financial reporting runs on the deltas between reality and incorrect predictions (even when, like here, the outcome is somewhat predictable), and we continue to blame reality for not meeting the predictions. It also seems strange not to mention that TSMC’s growth has been insane for the last 4 years, their business has tripled.

The standard of care doesn’t mean it’s optimal for everyone. Doctors will often explore alternative treatments when the first-line measures aren’t working optimally.

It’s a mistake to ignore proven, first-line treatments and skip straight to less proven alternatives, though. Some people have built an anti-mainstream bias that puts too much emphasis on the unproven, alternative treatments while downplaying the most proven treatments.
This was initially why I learned enough of the vi keybinds to get by.

It’s true everywhere. Women look for success(money) in a mate, men mostly look for beauty and purity.

Misogyny is hate toward women. This is not hate, it’s the acknowledgement that there are differences.

No support for debugging Go on OpenBSD
As exciting as it is to see Go 1.20.1 support land in OpenBSD 7.3 it is sad to see support for the delve debugger languishing. If you're a Golang dev with good knowledge of both Go internals and BSD architectures you might want to have a look!
> Had Dawkins not existed, the ultimate outcome would have been the same.

Even without Dawkin's book, you could very likely have still gone through the "edgy" phase. The overly enthusiastic "baby atheist" phase is very human, and very common, as is the eventual rise out of it.

"The God Delusion" for me, who was already long converted before I read it, was mostly a quick read and forget. His earlier books on evolutionary biology, though, are brilliant. I honestly can't specifically remember any of his God Delusion arguments any longer, but the things I learned from him on evolution stick with me to this day.
100% fair, and also right. I started writing that as a kind of dismissive jokey, maybe slightly trolling, thing and then ended up a little more serious as I continued thinking - probably not my most well-argued or empathetic post.

They yield 3-5% right now. Official inflation is 8%. You're losing 3-6% based on official inflation data. I don't know about you though, but things went up a lot more than 8% for me. But let's say just 3% a year loss, that's a loss of almost 30% over 10 years.
Doesn't it depend on the actual values?

If your compile time evaluations don't trigger signed integer overflow (or any other UB) does it follow that at runtime you couldn't pass a parameter that would trigger signed overflow?

I mean it's still useful because at least you know your test code is not artificially passing because of some UB makes it look like passing
For this comment, let's assume there is no God and Dawkins is correct. A few people can be persuaded by his slap in the face tactics and insults. For the rest he really should be asking why people hold on to a belief, because whatever benefit they get from it he is not offering an alternative - which is worse. So yeah, I think he an inconsiderate jerk.
I'm not sure if it started this way, but I mostly breathe through my mouth at night due to significant congestion in my nasal passage. If I use a nasal rinse or flonase it helps but if I'm not diligent it regresses immediately.

India’s plan to export its wildly successful digital payments system
The compiler is doing a bunch of complicated stuff at compile time. In fact it's both a C++ compiler and a C++ interpreter.

static_assert is a compile-time check.

[] { ... }(); is an immediately executed lambda function (IIFE in javascript parlance).

list<int> list{} is a linked list of integers (double-linked, forward and backward). push_back() allocates more memory. pop() / clean() deallocates memory.
The example posted above fails the "reasonable person" test, which was my point.
> It's quite possible that Neil deGrasse Tyson has considered the simulation question critically and skeptically, and still come to the conclusion he has.

That's possible but I wouldn't bet on it. He's not a philosopher, he's a science entertainer who runs a movie theater. The meat of his career is commentary on popular sciency subjects, most of them very far his actual academic expertise (astrophysics.) I figured this out after watching his twitter account for a while. Wall-to-wall poorly conceived hot takes on popular subjects that he obviously didn't put much thought into. If he thinks he can get hired for interviews/talks/books talking about simulation theory, I believe he'd do it even if he personally considered it to be unscientific nonsense.
A comment that might well be made about the entire article.
I don’t buy this gender dimorphism. For starters, immature and manipulative women are about as common as immature and manipulative men.
Actually, that would _also_ be propaganda.
The days of cheap capital are over, and not because of the Fed.

The largest generation, boomers, are now retiring. Up until now they've been pumping money into the economy and the investing with their 401k and things like that. Now that trend is reversing as they retire they are taking money out of the 401k, out of their life savings, at the same time their purchasing power is decreasing.

The end result is a lot less capital than ever before, capital is now more expensive. Tighten your belts boys a prolonged slump is coming.
