He's bringing out the men made of straw because there's a culture in many places, including my work, of YAGNI.

We did not properly federate many of our services and aystems, it is costing us tons of person hours to work around or deal with as our org chart grows. However, it's exactly the kind of thing that unlike Facebook - it is difficult to get metrics on how many dollars it will save or create, so it doesn't get fixed and people still wonder why anyone would care enough to fix it.
It may seem a bit naive. But the ability to write correct functions is what made my code easier to write. And I learnt that from the book How to Design Programs.

Thinking in functions have made my life easier in programming, at least.
The browser is more equivalent to the .Net framework and the JVM.

> in Android to click on the text wherever you want the cursor to be. If you try that in iOS, it does that, but the precision is really really bad, like unusable.

Try holding and moving that text pointer instead of clicking, that makes it super precise. Clicking is for rough, holding and moving is for very precise.

I agree that discovering the spacebar gesture on your own is fairly difficult, but the holding and moving feels easily naturally discoverable. You are literally picking up the pointer and moving it to where you want it, with continuous visual feedback throughout the process, instead of clicking and hoping it will land at the correct location.

Spend 4 hours coding, while being paid by the interviewer, watched by a peer, working on a bug fix or new feature.

Works great.
That's not the title. The submitter put a clickbait title, but maybe they did it only to make the title short enough.

The original title was "Scientists accidentally discover photosynthesis doesn't work exactly like we thought it did."

And it had subtitle "Researchers have serendipitously discovered that a key step in photosynthesis can occur much earlier in the process than previously believed."
generally i'm arguing with a novice programmer who thinks they're an expert, but doesn't know anything about performance, but thinks performance isn't ever important

that said, it's just as common to be arguing with a novice programmer who thinks they're an expert, but doesn't know anything about performance, but is convinced of the critical overriding importance of the difference between n lg n and n squared when n is 5
The word "dictatorship" doesn't actually mean anything. Its sole purpose is to attack certain institutions and/or governments, while excluding other institutions and governments from criticism even though they share most or all of the same characteristics.

Instead of asking whether or not XYZ is a dictatorship, ask "are they following their own laws and constitution?", "are they respecting universal human rights?", and "in whose interests are they acting?". The answers to those questions are absolutely enlightening and make the differences between countries commonly considered dictatorships and countries commonly considered democracies almost vanish.

At this moment, there are basically three types of comments here.

- No mention of USA?

- This seems like needless redirection.

- Why tho?

Perhaps I’m hopelessly naive but I wonder if they all answer each other.

For business related reasons, Microsoft can’t call out threats of US origin. But obviously the researchers on the ground still care about those attacks very much.

One solution is to create an opaque reference scheme where Typhoon actually means China and Sandstorm actually means Iran.

Then you can sprinkle in new terms that aren’t explicitly defined anywhere. Something can be called Sunshine and, even though it’s not documented anywhere, everyone seems to know what it means.
The article mentions it (and contains links to some studies);

A recent study found that some crops grown under solar panels, in so-called agrivoltaic systems, help to keep the units cooler, extending their lifespans and improving efficiency. Certain plants grow better in the shade, especially as temperatures rise. If less than one per cent of cropland around the world was shared with solar panels, global energy needs would be met, according to one estimate.

Agrivoltaics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics) are definitely on the rise but see the "Disadvantages" and "Economics" sections for roadblocks.
It's meant to be shareable. So people can show this (and other tricks) to their tech-illiterate relatives and bond over things iPhone can do.

It's all documented in the user manuals (inside Books app) and the support pages. So I wouldn't necessarily call them "hidden" features.
Get movies anywhere, buy elsewhere. Fortunately Apple doesn’t do this nonsense, this got me once too.
Hollywood is also losing the battle at home. It's been a long time since I watched a Hollywood movie that:

- felt genuinely cheerful/optimistic

- contained jokes that we clever and funny

- did not try to lecture me about politics

I can name a lot of Asian or Bollywood movies that fulfill these criteria. Why did Hollywood stop making feel-good comedies?
>if you build yourself you always should be enabling it.

Absolutely not. This is such a terrible advice I would think you were trolling if I didn't assume better of you.

An end-user should not engage in any overclocking, XMP/EXPO included, without thorough knowledge and understanding of what they're getting into. You are literally driving your hardware above and beyond official, published specifications.

And no, marketing is not "official, published specifications".
I think the vision of many car makers (Tesla at least) is self-driving and voice commands.

In that context, the question touch screen vs physical buttons doesn't matter.
Completely unnecessary and upsetting quote. If you must, just link it with some background instead of quoting a sensationalized headline.

Talking about ranch lifestyle feels disingenuous when the workers on strike argue they can't afford living close to the office due to how expensive that area is. (same source)

Unlike an LLM you have been in a sensorimotor loop with the world for a couple of decades at least. The effective bitrate of your senses is probably pretty high. You’ve seen a thing or two, even if you haven’t read the entire web. You’ve seen and participated in causal processes over and over.
I would also recommend Pascal Poupart's talk [1] on Attention and Transformers. Doesn't seem to be cited often, but its quite well done and seeing him work out some of the details using chalk and board is very reassuring.

Firstly, the majority of Canada's geography is not covered by cell service given the population lives in such a small percentage of it.

This shows a lack of understanding, for there are endless towers where no one lives.

Recall those roads I mentioned? Towers are there too. Rural roads can go through 100s of km of brush, farmland, tundra, and have towers.
> I really don't understand the use-case for a Rust-based GUI.

For people already writing things (libraries, cli's etc) in Rust who want to add a GUI while staying with the language. No great mystery.

As for a business case, aside from individual developer taste/preference, it's hard to see that there is one outside of niches. System76 found a case for it with their DE. I think there might be a strong case for lightweight Rust GUI frameworks like egui for embedded device displays.

But for mainstream web / desktop / mobile apps? I can't at the moment see what the point would be.
Apps like Instagram/Pintrest have just made the user feel blunt when they can't even select a snippet of text in the app, following hyperlinks in a comment...or even download media by right-clicking on the web-browser

> Nah, there is equilibrium between the three powers.

Not really. Judiciary is basically governing the country. Supreme court legislates by basically interpreting or ignoring laws however they want. This isn't just me either, actual lawyers have told me this to my face years ago. Only now do I fully appreciate the truth of those words.

I mean, a supreme court judge just presented his "suggestions" for the censorship laws currently under discussion. The same guy who basically ran all over the constitution during last year's election over "fake news" in political campaigns. You gotta be kidding me.

Every single day it's news like this one. Supreme court suspends Bolsonaro's law. Supreme court votes that same law back into effect. You'd think they're running the country... And they are. The stroke of a pen makes police do whatever they want so yeah.

> You don't see them bickering with the current executive branch.

Not anymore anyway. The supreme court judges are openly partial to the party currently in power. There's videos of them hugging Lula like they're close friends. Hell, I remember watching a video of one of these judges literally say out loud he was proud of being partial towards the communists.

> Hearken back to like 12 years ago, before all those righty rats left the sewers. Much quieter times in the judiciary.

Welp. I'm not sure if you realize you're proving my point.
It‘s cute. Make sure to get some feedback from native German speakers to iron out they little mistakes or unusual word order. Also, never capitalize every first letter in a headline. Either capitalize every letter or use correct rules for which words are capitalized.

"Loading..."

I've run it before. I know what it looks like.

I use egui. It's OK. But you have to code up all your dialog boxes in Rust. This is misery if you have fifty dialog boxes and widgets you need. The widget library is weak and the themes are poor. I don't care, because I'm doing a metaverse client, and all the visuals are in the 3D image. The 2D GUI on top is minimal, as is normal for games. So minimal that it disappears completely, like YouTube controls, when you're not using it, to give you a clean 3D world.

(Egui hint: don't use bottom-up layout. Always work top-down, left to right. Egui layout is one pass, and while it tries to look ahead, it's not good at it.)
Seems likely. Also cause you'd end up writing down Sunshine in reports and if not that it might end up written down or recorded on accident.
> Tone mapping

For anyone else wondering:

> Tone mapping is a technique used in image processing and computer graphics to map one set of colors to another to approximate the appearance of high-dynamic-range images in a medium that has a more limited dynamic range. Print-outs, CRT or LCD monitors, and projectors all have a limited dynamic range that is inadequate to reproduce the full range of light intensities present in natural scenes. Tone mapping addresses the problem of strong contrast reduction from the scene radiance to the displayable range while preserving the image details and color appearance important to appreciate the original scene content.

> […]

> The goals of tone mapping can be differently stated depending on the particular application. In some cases producing just aesthetically pleasing images is the main goal, while other applications might emphasize reproducing as many image details as possible, or maximizing the image contrast. The goal in realistic rendering applications might be to obtain a perceptual match between a real scene and a displayed image even though the display device is not able to reproduce the full range of luminance values.

And on top off that, some product manager at Mercedes might say they absolutely need let's say Atmos in the next release and ask the Tier 1 to implement it. The Tier 1 usually uses multiple Tier 2s. The Tier 2s say they need more memory, but that's not practical at all because that hardware was fully validated years ago and you just don't make incremental changes to automotive hardware, and there won't be a hardware refresh for another 4 years. It is in none of the tiers' interests to say they can't do it and lose out on a multi-year contract so they do the best possible job within the constraints.
The computer vision based room, hand and controller tracking of the Quest 2 is frankly pretty amazing. I don’t have experience with any other devices, but I was shocked how good it was after impulse buying a Quest 2 a while back. I hardly ever use it anymore, but the tracking seems to get better every time I plug in and update the device.
If it's encryoted E2E, then you don't need to inspect the server side to verify that. And the client is FOSS, anyone can inspect it. (It is my understanding that group chats are not encrypted; I have not cared to verify that one way or the other, but I could.)
It's great that you mention jay walkers because this wasn't a thing before cars. When cars first started appearing on the road there was a huge backlash because kids played in the street and people cross the street and they got hit by cars and people got pissed off. Car clubs started popularizing the term 'jay walker' and shaming people for it in order to reduce the backlash against cars and drivers for hitting people that were using the street. After a while it became normalized that people in the street are at fault and drivers are not.
Yes again the common refrains - just throw hardware at it. I/we of course know this and all the systems I’m referring to did that first until they couldn’t. But you’re kind of missing my point - im saying by the time you are noticing scale pain points it’s often too late. Too late insofar as your system has likely grown so much in breadth (complexity, features, subsystems, lines of code, services, etc) that all depend on this one db. All this vast amount of stuff all written assuming all tables are accessible to everyone. It becomes a tangled web of data access patterns / tables that is very hard to break apart.

Nevermind the other aspect the pat advice doesn’t mention - managing a massive single RDMS is a goddamn nightmare. At a very large scale they are fragile, temperamental beasts. Backups, restores, upgrades all become hard. Migrations become a dark art , often taking down the db despite your best understanding. Errant queries stalling the whole server, tiny subtleties in index semantics doing the same. Yes it’s all solvable with a lot of skill, but it ain’t a free lunch that’s for sure. And tends to become a HUGE drag on innovation, as any change to the db becomes risky.

To your other point yes, replicating data “like for like” into another RDBMS can be cheap. But in my experience this domain data extraction is often taken as an opportunity to move it onto a non RDBMS data store that gives you specific advantages that match that domain, so you don’t have scaling problems again. That takes significantly longer. But yes I am perhaps unfairly including all the domain separation and “datastore flavor change” work in those numbers
If they want to do business in Russia? Absolutely.

Fortunately, nobody is forcing them to do business in Russia. But doing so entails acceptance of whatever local rules there are, including rules the vast majority of people might consider wrong.

I can promise you that Facebook & Co happily hand information on any individual to US law enforcement as long as there is a court order. They don't look at the person in question and then decide based on their own sense of morality whether they "should" supply that information. They simply do it.

Expenditures on the "clean up" was beyond excessive. If Germany tries to "clean up" the harmful emissions from burning lignite to a similar safetly level, they will go broke.

Maybe you are right but it sounds a bit like: "For GUI design there is only one feature that matters: having a fuck ton of well supported colors for every situation across every platform." Replace colors with fonts or animated GIFs and you and up in late 90s web design.
My Indian university does this and I'm powerless. Emailing then or convincing them didn't help. Atleast Europeans care about privacy. Everyone looked at me like I was retarded when I tried to explain the issue to them.
Does anyone else feel the timing is somewhat suspicious? I don’t know a single conversation I’ve had with anyone literally bitchin about how much they despise not having a button. PITA sure, but feels oddly close to all this supply chain stuff.. I’m probably nuts here..
> The server side is still proprietary

Open sourcing it would make no difference. Signal's server is open source, yet the sources are always released late. For a whole year, Signal was running a totally different server code than the one they had made public, they even injected some crypto stuff and not a single person knew what the server was running.

This is the nature of servers. Backend is always unverifiable, even if it's got the latest code available to the public. The only thing open source backend is useful for is self-hosting, not verification.
The text rendering is fuzzy.

I’m talking about right-clicking on a link, for things like Copy Link, or Open Link in New Private Window. Or in a text box for Cut/Copy/Paste/spell-checking.
It's important to consider Spain is a wage-constrained country, so our disposable income is not comparable to that of the average American, German, Britton or French. These moves have a greater impact on us vs. the rest of the developed world.
Wired has their own take on it (https://www.wired.com/story/hacker-naming-schemes-spandex-te...) where they actually interview the team that made this change. The overall scheme was driven by wanting more searchable names (I guess even threat intel needs SEO) but as for how they choose them... it feels like a fun way to personalize. FTA: `“There’s some origin story to each one,” Lambert says, “or it could just be a name out of a hat.”`

Also closes with this banger of a paragraph: Until then, well, just watch out for Periwinkle Tempest. Last year, Periwinkle Tempest launched crippling ransomware attacks across the entire nation of Costa Rica, leading the country's government to declare a national emergency. Periwinkle Tempest are some of the most dangerous hackers in the world. Periwinkle Tempest. Seriously.

Asking for a friend...

In all seriousness, I was alluding to the likely way that people get on these lists. Success doesn't necessarily mean being a great technical person, it means knowing exactly where, when and how to grease the wheels.

In life, being a "grifter" is often what it takes to be successful. It's a different kind of hard work. Not everyone really understands it, I wouldn't discount it.
> Ultimately, the court’s CalECPA analysis proved fatal to the defendants’ case. Despite ruling the warrant violated the Fourth Amendment, the court refused to suppress the evidence, finding the officers acted in good faith based on a facially valid warrant.

Incredible. This is like the government version of a corporation laundering its bad behavior through an undercapitalized shell company to shield it from liability.
Everything prior to VR was merely a simulation of 3D. Isometric projection is no worse or better than 1 pt perspective. Sure some of it was hard coded and didn't generalize to a full environment and physics model, but so what if they didn't build more than the set pieces that would be on screen.

yeah, i was surprised at the cluelessness of that remark. lamp was definitely not a 'rising tech stars' thing. hopefully the author is more careful about accuracy when it comes to database architecture than when it comes to www history

did google even use mysql? certainly if they did they never talked about it publicly in the early 02000s, and of course facebook didn't even exist then

lj, though, they used the fuck out of mysql

/. originally didn't use a database; i (an ordinary user) accidentally posted an article by trying to post a comment on an article that didn't exist yet; i guess they got appended to the same file. but when it did switch to a database (i don't know, about the time google was founded?) it was of course mysql

I get where you’re coming from on modern TV shows as I still enjoy 80s-90s shows, and some 70s shows more than most modern shows. But a majority of what you listed here is clearly emotional ranting. If you for once believe 75% of shows are law enforcement related then it sounds like you’re not looking deep enough. Granted there are a lot but nowhere near 75%. You also stereotyped a whole generation, though I agree that SOME of that generation has ADHD problems because of that style of cinematography, and it’s only getting worse.
