It's so much easier to build this into the app (which is what you're saying) rather than try to solve this at the proto level, I'm honestly surprised they even tried to include it into the protocol.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. There's a really large trans community active on Bluesky right now, and they've been extremely vocal about what's important to them, with blocking being the thing demanded the loudest (butts being #2).

The dev team blew up their schedule to deliver blocking because of this.
Seems like a submission like this should just link to it directly, rather than it being buried at the bottom.

That's showing multiplied Celsius in terms of Kelvin, no?

1 Celsius = 274.15 Kelvin
10 Celsius = 283.15 Kelvin

Obviously 283.15 K != 10 * 274.15 K.

But that's not what's being said, per my lower comment -- it's 10x the difference relative to the freezing point of water, compared to 1°C.

The original upthread comments I were taking issue with were saying that multiplication has no meaning / is invalid in Celsius.

It does have a meaning, and it's mathematically consistent.

It may not mean what's being assumed, but nuance doesn't mandate "thou shalt never," IMHO.
Unless there's an easy solution most of us are just going to die from this. I can't battle the market that wants to feed me supersized everything because that's where they can hide the cost of wages and offer an illusion of value.

It needs to be tasty (enough), it needs to be cheap (at least enough to compete with the crap food that's already an option), and it needs to be an option everywhere.

Clearly, regulation is required to force the market to offer healthy options for consumers.

I've dabbled in India game making for a while and have no issue creating the relevant systems etc to make a game work because with good software engineering practises and modern off-the-shelf game engines you can scale that stuff like nobody's business.

> Processed meats contain a LOT of salt. Salt doesn't cause diabetes, but it does cause water retention and high blood pressure, so is bad for people with diabetes.

Why is salt / bad influence for people with diabetes relevant in this context? Weren’t we interested in meat in relation to the rising global incidence of diabetes? Cottage cheese, shrimp, canned tuna and more also are high in sodium.
>> And as i pointed out in my other comment cpp_front and google carbon are trying to do just that.

Cpp_front and Carbon are not C++.

Parts of Cpp_front might become part of C++, but adding more stuff to C++ (usually increasing the overall complexity) has not been an issue for C++. That could be seen as part of the problem why C++ is so large and complex.

By way of comparison, Carbon calls itself: "fundamentally a successor language approach, rather than an attempt to incrementally evolve C++." (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang) It aims to be a successor to C++, not the evolution of C++.

>> Bjarne is quoted to have said that there is a smaller C++ inside the current C++.

To officially be C++, the Standards Committee must agree to deprecate the features that give a smaller C++ in a future release of the C++ Standard.

Good luck getting the C++ Standards Committee to agree on what to remove.

>> a clean reboot can converge on a "better" solution

Yes, but would it be backward compatible with existing C++ codebases? If the "clean reboot" is too different or not backward compatible enough would it be adopted by existing C++ users / the community?

If it required significant effort to port old C++ code to the rebooted version, why would the rebooted version be chosen over another language?(for example: Rust, Go, Ada, Zig, etc.)

Perl tried an ambitious rewrite from Perl 5 to Perl 6 and it did not work very well: it took too long, did not see wide adoption, and ultimately Perl 6 was renamed Raku.

Perl did not have to push Perl 6 changes through a standards committee or try to get a dozen or more compiler implementors to agree. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers#C++_compil...)

While it is possible that C++ could evolve into a smaller, cleaner version of itself, I do not think it is likely given all of the forces involved.
> Since 2011, the FDA has imposed a ban on importing Synsepalum dulcificum (specifying 'miraculin') from its origin in Taiwan, declaring it as an "illegal undeclared sweetener"

So if you declare it, can you import it?

What if you get your hands on some seeds, and instead of eating or selling them (which would put you under the FDA's jurisdiction), you grow them for several generations in a greenhouse? Are the great-grandchildren plants of smuggled seeds still illegal?

What if they're descendants of a plant that someone brought to the US before 2011? How would the FDA prove they aren't?

You were a dude after my own heart. I had two EyeToy cams from buying EyeToy Play 1 and 2, and obviously only needed one on the console, spent many hours trying to get it working on Linux, which was surprisingly difficult, whereas it worked on Windows with ease.

Those were the days huh! I had the PS2 Linux kit too, loved tinkering with that.

The specification includes the semantics of the hardware it runs on, and shows security properties.

Having said that, it is surprisingly easy to get hardware to violate its specifications.
If by "real solutions" you mean "anything that allows us to keep emitting as much CO2 as we want" there might not be any. And you might be right, and we might be boned.
Your ‘counter example’ is exactly what we want to happen.

It’s not that they’ve added sesame where there was none before, it’s that they’re having to declare that sesame might be there. It’s great news for people with sesame allergies and has no effect on those that don’t.
I get a ton of value out of having my shell history available (both for search but also to try to reconstruct steps of what I did yesterday when my memory is hazy)

I guess you could set up an entropy scanner and flag history lines that have high entropy, but that might not be enough (low-entropy secrets) and might be bothersome (lots of false positives / things that are technically secrets but that you don't care if they're in your shell history).
Yup, it's been a help for me. Had a buddy who asked me if I could automate his workflow in wordpress for post submissions he had to deal with. I asked chatgpt with a little prodding to create me a little workflow. I cleaned it up a bit and threw it in AWS lambda for literally 0$. He was super thankful and hooked me up with a bunch of meat (his dad is a butcher) and I spent maybe an hour on it.

It’s definitely possible to create very brittle types that feel like a house of cards.

I think the most common mistake people make is re-using types. Even if a type works in two places, you can’t guarantee that the semantics in those places will stay consistent.

Devs working in TypeScript often think that in order to keep things DRY you should reuse the same types all over a codebase. For me it’s the opposite: using a type in two places is a code smell. You’re not really leaning on the compiler if you’re re-using types. The compiler loves to take two types and tell you if they’re compatible. Sharing the same type across use cases is just not necessary.

I find keeping types as local to a function as possible helps a LOT with alleviating that “house of cards” feeling you’re describing.

It’s a real problem though.
Was battery technology actually slowed? When Tesla began mass-producing EVs, they were using off-the-shelf vendor batteries. It seems like if anything the battery tech was ahead of the EV wave, having been driven by thin and light ultraportable computers.
I fight this battle all the time with my UX people vs my engineers. UX are informed over and over about the technical limitations of our platforms. Nonetheless I have to calm down the engineers when we do updates/redesigns and the UX try to do things they should know quite well by now that we can't do and wouldn't even make sense. Being a part time PM is rough. I'm looking into getting back into strictly coding now, as the extra money and promotion was not worth it. Hopefully I picked up some people management skills though -_-

For a personal project it helped me work through an area of the code that would have otherwise been a mental blocker for me because I wasn’t sure where to start.

At work I’ve been using it a bit to improve feature/design concepts. It’s helped me come up with some unique improvements (and some really boring and generic ones too.)
Sure, but that doesn't really change the dynamic of having to rely on public transit or private vehicles. In addition ferries are among the most expensive modes of transit with an outsized environmental impact. Against the backdrop of the city trying to move TI from Section 8 housing to luxury condos that's even worse, IMO. Either they're going to price it out of reach of the poors or they're going to force everyone to subsidize luxury transit for the richie riches.

That’s a good suggestion. I’d probably calculate the spread, based on the density of the community members, as opposed to outside stats.

Genau. I especially appreciate how millefiori glass beads are a physical incarnation of the literary device of quoting other works...

> If that is the case, then we have misnamed 'thought': It was always nothing more than a proposition, but we assumed it was intimately connected with the experience of thinking.

That makes a great deal of sense to me; in that world 'thinking' is like imperative small-step operational semantics, while 'thought' would correspond with functional big-step denotational semantics. The former suffices to produce the latter, but is by no means necessary.
When accounting for negative externalities such as "unpriced natural capital consumption", it seems only fair to also include positive externalities, such as "food/energy availability"
> Just because you laid of people doesn't mean they aren't thinking long term.
That's not what I said at all. My point was that a rising share price and actions taken to influence that do not necessarily indicate that capital has been efficiently deployed.

Maybe don't start with the assumption that everyone else is an idiot.
Politics and economics are virtually inseparable. There’s a reason the field of economics used to be called “political economy”.
You need a lot of rare-earths for the really powerful motors. The rare-earth production is never going to scale to replace all the ICEs. Also, permanent motors are less effective at higher RPMs, so you'd still need a gearbox (though it probably needs just 2 speeds).

Control circuitry without IGBTs kinda sucks. You're stuck with switched serial/parallel circuits, like on locomotives or trams. Regenerative braking would be possible, but very limited because you can't control current/voltage well enough not to mess up the battery.

None of this presents an insurmountable barrier, but it definitely limits the design space.
I also think, in a secondary capacity, there is a reluctance often to come to consensus about things that should be brought to consensus among teams. The reason, though, that I don't think consensus is gained is because of the way projects are organized / structured. These are, in my mind, things that are dictated at a higher level (if at all).
It's very interesting they are using camelCase for their Postgres column names instead of snake_case. I like it.

Is that something folks are doing? Can it be done without "doubleQuoting" all of the response column names or without using an ORM?
The only thing that works is modularity.

Write down all the modules, then write down their dependencies on each other. Make sure the dependency graph is as close to a line as possible. This is called “layering” in software engineering.

Now, figure out how to prove each layer correct.

The first round of killings were probably done by people who had a general idea of where the burial took place, since the slaves probably couldn’t be unsupervised long.

The next round could take place further away, since the soldier could probably be more relied on to follow orders and return to a known location when they had completed their task.

One good idea I have is, since it’s a generative model, instead of asking it mechanical or electrical engineering questions, ask it to make a program to calculate something. And slowly ask it to improve upon.

Would it be sensible to make that choice using a good old fashioned jumper? For example, when the jumper is connected to pins 1 and 2, the firmware must be signed by a list of vendor-controlled keys; when the jumper is connected to pins 2 and 3, the firmware must be signed by a list of user-managed keys. That way, I can choose what kind of freedom makes sense for me. Most people value the freedom of not having to worry about firmware, while others value the freedom to use or create their own firmware.
I think people are most surprised when using it outside of their own domain.

As an example: I recently showed my mother GPT-4. I asked her what she wanted to see, and having little knowledge of the tool's capabilities, she asked me to surprise her. Apparently I had done this before (with GPT-3), as the poem I generated about Petoskey stones was met with little fanfair: "I've seen it generate poems... what else can it do?"

At that point I showed her a Python file and asked GPT to translate it to Typescript. Needless to say she's not a poet or a programmer, but the fact it could do something like that, entirely outside of her domain, was mind-blowing.

For me, I'm surprised how little I use Google...

It is viable if those areas are close enough to a place with enough population to service them.

A lot of the United States is that low density area with a drive of an hour or two to the next municipality with a population of 5000 or more.

It isn't going to be practical to run a rail out to most of those places with anything resembling a regular schedule.

The difference is that in Norway the distance between an area with sparse population and a city with a few thousand people is much smaller. It can make sense to run trains to all the cities in Norway that have a population of more than 5000 people - that gets you 100 cities (looking at it, a lot of them are impractical in terms of "you will need to take a ferry or fly"), but we've still got 100 cities there.

The 100th largest municipality in Norway with a population of 5000 would be the 20th largest city in Montana. The 100th largest municipality in Montana has a population of 237.

The population portion may be accurate... and that can be solved by fixing New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Once you go beyond those metro areas trying to provide regular public transportation of any sort becomes impractical. If one sticks to the eastern seaboard, ok - it might be doable. Trying to do regular and reliable public transportation to the small towns comparable to the sizes served in Norway becomes difficult west of the Appalachian mountains.

That’s not my experience. I find in carefully typed projects I can do pretty large refactors with high confidence that once the types are correct again, a lot of tests will pass, and a lot of behavior will work.

It’s not that there aren’t bugs, but I have a high degree of confidence after fixing a small number of bugs that the overall system has a high degree of correctness.

There are several things that go into this

- good types

- good tests

- good interfaces between modules

All three I think give me a big jump in how quickly and confidently I can refactor.

Can you tell me if my understanding of this issue is correct?

Let's say I run a command where I've pasted in a credential from my password manager: ` some-cli login username my-secret-password` (note space at beginning)

Normally this would prevent the command from getting saved in any meaningful way in my bash history, so that if I later run a malicious script, it can't collect secrets from my bash history.

With the bug here, it sounds like atuin would prevent that entry from being stored in the sqlite store, but it would still be in my shell history?

If so, this is really significant, and would stop me from using Atuin. Not letting users know about this behaviour is incredibly negligent, and honestly erodes my trust in Atuin to consider user security in general.
