IMO everyone produces some terrible work early in their careers. It is part of the learning/growth process. I wouldn't want to work for a manager who told me "This is terrible", nor would I dream of saying that to an employee of mine, it would unnecessarily break their spirit. I think that would cultivate the type of environment where people are afraid to voice their opinion for fear of being embarrassed, etc.
What about a simple download apk button in a website?. I was raised during the DOS,Windows times and installed software in MY PURCHASED computer without any stupid third party dictating what I could or couldn't do.
That there's a prison labor loophole in the 13th Amendment[1] that abolished slavery speaks volumes.

But Rust has kind of a spec: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/
Sure, it's not as well-specified as C++; so one could say it's "not a real spec".

But C++ also isn't perfect, there are plenty of programs for which no two compiler developers can agree on whether they have UB. The C++ spec language is just too ambiguous and underspecified in several areas.

If you want to be sure, you need an actual machine-checkable formal specification. Neither C++ nor Rust have that.

In the end, what really matter is the contract between the programmer and the compiler: are compilers allowed to break a program in weird ways because the programmer forgot about one of the arcane rules in the spec? For C++ and unsafe Rust, the answer is yes (we don't know how to build optimizing compilers for low-level languages otherwise). But for safe Rust, the answer is no. That's a big deal.
That's nice, but before you raise prisoners' standard of living to that, you have to do it for everyone. I would like that. But that is often missed in these debates...

S. cerevisiae Has the higher active temperature range, as high as 80F in some cases, and 90+ for kveiks. Both types ferment throughout the column of liquid and have krauesn. I can assure you, I have a number of clear fermenters. You cannot identify the type visually.
In theory you're right. However, you might have dozens of Dockerfiles and probably don't want to hard-code the Node version in each of them. Besides, when developing locally, you typically don't fire up your web app from inside a container.
If I could upvote this more than once.

Been working 12+ years remotely in a company that has been doing it even longer in some departments. It works and you can get around all the complaints no problem. I understand some people prefer to work in an office and I understand it also depends on the type of business you are it. I get that but people also need to remember times change.
I don't know if this SO CEO person is actually good at his job, but every time i try to read his blog posts, he comes across as a completely lobotomized corporate drone who speaks in nonsensical non-statements and is completely disconnected from the actual community of people who contribute to his platform. I have a suspicion that he might be interested in just pushing the Teams product and doesn't give a rat's ass about the public SO website. But, maybe I'm wrong and he just sucks at blogging.
Just come out and say it, coward.
ChatGPT is replacing SO for me. Just had an experience yesterday where the first few answers were not quite what I needed (they weren't incorrect, just didn't meet my requirements), so the ability to ask follow-up questions to narrow down the answer resulted in a solution in minutes which could have taken hours of searching and testing. (Still had to test, of course, and one advantage of SO that ChatGPT doesn't have, is that you can be pretty sure a reply with lots of upvotes will work out of the box.)
Yeah it is a huge issue. Oregon last year stopped enabling HOAs to force homeowners to spray herbicide or insecticide on their properties. HB2409 2021 https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_94.763

According to Denmark's Statistics, recidivism was 32% from 2018-2020 when considering crime within 2 years of getting out of prison.
No, that’s just nonsense.

> Allow incarcerated workers the same labor protections afforded to other workers in the United States, including minimum wage, health and safety standards, unionization, protection from discrimination, and speedy access to redress when their rights are violated.

I am not sure how well unionization would work, though I suspect the various mafia leaders in prison and the Aryan brotherhood leaders who are in prison would love to have a way to legally organize large groups of prisoners.
I too remember the DARE program. Prior to DARE, I didn't know much about drugs, and after I knew all the major kinds people did, the kinds of effects they had, how to use them, and where to go buy them.

Oh yeah, they also gave a bunch of those horror stories about them, some of which I am sure were true, but many obviously weren't.
Here in the Netherlands they decided to increase the water level of our lakes by 5cm to handle the drought season this year. Since the amount of snowfall in the Alps was lower than normal.

I'm going to question the 'beautiful flowers' part of that. From an aesthetic point of view Dandelion flowers don't have a lot going for them. They're aggressively yellow and tend to visually dominate over other plants (and they're extremely efficient at propagating, so if you don't actively control them, they'll quickly become the majority flower) while they're blooming, and the blooms don't even last very long, sometimes less than 24 hours, and a dandelion head that's shed its seeds looks kind-of ugly.

I generally have a very light-touch approach to gardening, but even I draw the line at dandelions. The correct method of dealing with them is a trowel though, not weedkiller.
Given the packages are inspected, anecdotally "non compliant" or infringing products aren't making it to the buyer at a MUCH higher rate than before.
Even without US specifics, prison systems seem to not have adapted to the declined birth rate. Maybe the luxury of measuring the system by recidivism rate is more affordable for societies now.
Perhaps an alias in your .bashrc for dd would solve it? I usually just use ddrescue most of the time (primarily because I prefer it's usage syntax, but it also reports status).

Similarly you could alias rsync instead of copy and move:

alias pcp='rsync -au --info=progress2'
alias pmv='rsync -aP --info=progress2 --remove-source-files'
If you don't give them something to do most of them watch TV, exercise and play cards all day. The work is intended to be punitive, because people can't stomach the idea of criminals having such easy lives.

Alternatively, we could provide more counseling, life-skills coaching and vocational education while treating them like human beings for a comparable cost to the taxpayer, and greatly reduce recidivism rates. That would eliminate a source of cheap labor benefitting political cronies and limit their ability to posture about being "tough" on crime though, so not gonna happen.
SO is completely dead. GPT-4 is far superior in 95% of what I used to use SO for. I have over 50k karma on SO and my visit to that site has basically went from very regular to almost none while my productivity has ballooned from using AI. If I can short that company I would.
No one does Uber for busses because it would be way too expensive. Fares don't even come close to covering the cost of running busses. If a company wasn't just burning money VC money, they would have to charge at least taxi rates to get on the bus and it would be significantly less convenient. Uber for cars is barely profitable now, and they get to be extremely cheap with driver labor.
During downturns the more sure opportunities are through my network, definitely. But I've still landed jobs during them just from searching (I've been lucky enough to avoid layoffs during downturns, so job changes have always been my own decision).
What is, even theoretically, the most valuable bit of intelligence this person could possibly reveal? He's been locked up for 21 years.
> the Executive is solely responsible for negotiating and signing international treaties and trade deals with no input from Congress or the Judiciary

Wait what? This is completely wrong. The Legislative branch ratifies treaties according to the constitution.
Some things are indisputable - eg avoid `new` and `delete`.
This would be a valid reason when compared to a third world country, but not to the country with the seventh highest GDP per capita (Norway is fifth).
Maybe you don't hear about it because it works and so no one attempts it

By the way long ago I got a screen repaired at an unofficial place, on an old iphone, and camera started working incorrectly (focusing issues etc). I kinda suspect they swapped the camera for a different one, if the phone warned me immediately that would have been cool. I heard many similar stories by the way.

Isn’t this proof that Apple is NOT working on an equivalent ChatGPT? Else, they’d be using their own LLM instead of cgpt.
For the same reason why it took a long time for crypto mining accelerators to actually ship. It is more profitable to keep them for yourself.
I made a dandelion mead about 6 weeks ago. It’s sitting in secondary right now and I’ll let it age for about a year I think.
Massive data collection being funnelled directly to the benefit of an adversarial totalitarian state.

Often coordinating to target intelligence and political targets.

It’s a technological wing for a totalitarian intelligence department. That’s what it is. It also has social media functions, but it also has an intelligence function.

If you think “well the US does it too” well I invite you to move to Shanghai and live the rest of your days there and tell me you feel just as free as in New York City.

Also, two wrongs don’t make a right.
It is a social sensibility evolved from an earlier practice where keeping a useless lawn not used for grazing was a sign of wealth.

Now everyone is doing it, and it turned into something expected instead of a sign of wealth long after the truly wealthy moved on to other signals of wealth. People even somehow associate it with an aesthetic. A common justification I have heard are, “I want kids to be able to have some place to play”.

It’s amazing to me how cultural ideas set and ossify.

NoLawns is going mainstream though. There are alternate ground covers (white dutch clover, or even thyme), and people are posting beautiful, tidy, but ecologically resilient and diverse non-lawn landscaping on r/nowlawns.
GDP/capita isn't really everything. Norway's got an enormous sovereign wealth fund with decades of oil money.

Oh, wait...

Prison reform is not wanted by the voting majority (unless it's towards harsher punishments and worse conditions). This is on the voters all the way.
Hasn’t it always been a recursive definition before - “This person is a threat to the US, given that he hates the US (because we locked him up without reason for 20 years), therefore cannot release him”
Can you elaborate? Why would people in Norway have "better control over impulsivity"?
Maybe, but in this context on this site I think it's safe to assume a lot of people are going to look at this with "ah! another subjective judgment that can be marked Objectively Correct by using an algorithm."
Part of the issue is that in US ( for example, IL ), the prison slave labor ( yes, based on constitution, slavery is abolished for all purposes except prison time ) is considered essential to some services[1]. The weird thing is, general population accepts it as: "Well, duh. They criminals."

Dryer static charges are probably a few keV at most so yeah that shouldn't make it through a metal envelope.

However, I wonder how well shielded the electronics are. In a poor quality design even the static charge fields themselves might trigger a false hit.
Malthus in the 1800s and Ehrlich in the 60s (and continuing thereafter), both renowned scholars of their times, also thought that limits were being breached right then. The latter thought the crisis was so urgent that he advocated for policies like coercive population control and stopping American aid to "hopeless" countries like India, whose population was growing at a tremendous rate.

As recently as a few years ago, Ehrlich stated that a collapse of civilization is a "near certainty" in the coming decades; never mind the fact that had any of the predictions in his 1968 book come true, there might be only half as many humans now as there actually are.

Has humanity's scientific prowess improved so much since then that today's predictions are that much more accurate? Perhaps, but considering that we haven't put another man on the moon since then, maybe not. There's a growing problem in science of fake papers[0] due to the "publish or perish" nature of academia; it points to at least some level of incentive for there to be "a broad agreement among scientists" about the state of things, for career and funding purposes if nothing else.

In the meantime, the "physical reality at play" is such that the number of deaths worldwide from climate-related disasters today is about one-third that of 50 years ago. That's not one-third of the rate; that's one-third in absolute number of deaths, despite the human population having literally doubled over that time. We can attribute this to a higher capacity for developing countries to deal with disasters due to their growing material wealth.

As usual, high-minded visionaries never let a crisis go to waste. Remember that Al Gore's Nashville house uses about 200k kWh a year (about 20x the average American house); Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry routinely flies aboard his own private jet; and Martha's Vineyard, supposedly being literally eaten away today[2], is home to the Obamas' 30-acre, 11-and-three-quarter-million-dollar property.

There an easy fix for the sharp edges on laptops: don't buy macbooks.

Nearly any desktop has user-replaceable parts, and so do many laptops. Laptops get to be compact and lightweight, so they are very tight internally. An Amiga wasn't too easily portable, to say nothing of an Amstrad.

Keyboard quality differed drastically: an Amiga or a Yamaha MSX had nice keys, but good luck typing on a Spectrum ZX.
Telegram would definitely be an option, it's just that neither I nor my family + friends are really on Telegram. I've spent years slowly convincing folks that Signal is The Way™, but unfortunately Signal isn't as amenable to API usage.

> they're copyright laundering systems. You put a few images (books, etc.) in, mix it around, and "poof" there disappears the copyright

This also describes the process of going to university.
> they start to die at relatively low alcohol concentrations and so more yeast mass ends up in the final product

up until that very insightful. but this seems rather counter logical. if the yeast dies earlier it grows less and hence mass should be also less.

having said that i guess less yeast activity means more sugar and starch in the final product.

20+ hours playing games with audio support on a VM? I’d love to see that kind of performance on, say, the GPD Win 4, but it sounds exaggerated. Where could I find this?
I hope this is sarcasm.

Not everything needs to be a fully developed game. Sometimes people make things for gasp the fun of it and not to build a comprehensive game that will appeal to everyone and their demanding cousins.
> It is also better for Europe.

It's at most convenient.
One feature of Rust that I don't see talked about as much is the ability for research to make its way into language improvements. Lots of PhD research in non-GC languages goes like, "assume C or C++ but written in a really specific way", where the research is interesting but there are too many corner cases to deal with when applied to a real project.

Rust makes so many guarantees that I expect some of that Ph.D research will start to turn into concrete language improvements in ways it never could before. It'll be very exciting to watch the next 5-10 years of Rust as the best overlooked research ideas start to have a viable path to production projects.
Yep. Free markets don’t mean unlimited power to corporations.
There are best practices in a given context that can be worst practices in an other one.

The coding style that is used in safety critical embedded software or high frequency trading would not be appropriate for gamedev or web, and vice versa.
I'm old enough to remember when "The Smiths" album was released and hit the underground club scene in the city where I grew up.

"How Soon Is Now" was a smash hit with the ecstacy crowd and was the track that compelled me to go right out and buy the record. I can't count how many times I listened to that album for the lyrics, but moreso for the music.
To that point, Andy Rourke's bass lines were prominent in the mix of every song, and a core component to The Smith's "sound". As much as Johnny Marr's rhythm and lead guitar in my opinion.

And as important as Peter Hook's bass playing or Ian Curtis' off key vocals were to Joy Division's sound.

RIP young brother
"Terrible" is often emotionally laden and unprofessional. Better to simply specify the ways in which it fails to meet general standards or the stated requirements.
They are fine for the enjoyment of certain games and reliving or just getting a reminder of my younger years. Yet these home computers of that era lack so much. No MMU, no FPU, no IP networking. Very limited CPU cycles and memory.

People just had more patience back then.

45 minutes to LHARC my text file? Sure, I'll talk to my wife.

Four hours to download an ILBM? OK. I'll read a book.

Today we're so used to living at the business end of a digital firehose that if something takes too many clock cycles we walk away. Some people can't even sit in a chair in their own homes without having music on.

That 95% of the retro computing scene seems devoted to games tells me that people just crave a quick hit of digital content and then move on.
Microsoft has had two different iterations of on-prem Azure. The TL;DR is that you’d buy a full rack of hardware from them and you could manage it using Azure front end.

The first iteration was a miserable failure. The second was a heavy lift to install: Previous employer was an Azure customer and actually bought the hardware. It then took months to get it installed and working, at which point the appetite for that capability was gone.
Incredible! The video music is also amazing. (But the slight chromatic aberration was distracting.)

The problem isn't one of legality, but practicality. If SO becomes a ghost town, all LLMs suffer, including OpenAI's.

Code-signature enforcement, hardware attestation, and remote key revocation aren’t inherently bad things. Like almost all technologies there are cases where they can be abused, but they can also be used to massively increase security on sensitive systems.

I develop industrial IoT gateways that are deployed to client sites, often in places which aren’t massively well secured from a physical perspective. Often an attacker could get in with a hi-vis vest and a clipboard.

Hardware attestation allows us to store encryption keys for the internal storage in a way that makes that storage useless if you remove it from the device. Signature enforcement prevents an attacker from booting their own OS on the devices and extracting keys that way (this also works alongside hardware attestation, as the TPM isn’t going to return a valid decryption key unless the expected kernel has booted). Remote key revocation allows us to terminate the device’s connection to our backend if it’s stolen.

If general purpose computers were routinely shipping with all those features turned on to ensure you could only boot a properly licensed version of Windows, and you had no access to enrol new keys, then I’d be with you, but that’s not the reality of things. If I buy a computer, either an Intel PC or an Apple desktop/laptop, I can install an OS of my choosing on it. We haven’t really lost anything here beyond the ability for people to trivially compromise computers without being detected.
It has been reported that Apple is in fact a big Azure customer
Yes, pretty much what this article also says, but I find it hard to accept that as an answer. I can't imagine that this had a lot of maintenance cost. As far as I could see, the whole thing was excellent and pretty much finished, I can't remember ever having to consult anyone at SO for support. They could have tripled the price and we would have payed, because if you compare how much hires/$ we got out of SO compared to for instance LinkedIn, this still would have been a no-brainer.
Depends which part of the city.
If the US split up prisoners by race, only then could you compare it to Scandinavian prisons.

But then we'd have a different article, talking about yet a different injustice.
but if everyone stops using stackoverflow for questioning and answering, isn't a matter of time before also gpt won't have the answers? Of course this concept is applied to SO and every other website
How does it distinguish between people who know how to do the thing and people who use copilot, but are terrible at their jobs?
Yeah, this takes a different figure when you consider the EU block as a whole, instead of measuring member states in isolation.

What a stupid thing to say. Of course these fuels are not edible. Back in the real world, 99% of global logistics, agriculture, and transportation rely on diesel and fuel oil. Baseline power generation requires fossil fuels.

It is too bad people can't eat your self-serving arrogance. We'd solve world hunger for 10,000 years.
I don’t see the equivalency, since an American or European company can copy TikTok.

You can get your digital cocaine as long as it’s safely sourced.

They’re not banning TikTok style companies (which would be similar to your analogy) they are banning TikTok specifically due to its origin and actions (intelligence collection).
As a Swede, I agree. Even official reports agree with this nowadays. 10 years or so ago it was not ok to even breath a word about this in Sweden, nothing bad came from immigration, but with the success of the right-wing Svergigdemokraterna it became a lot more ok to talk about systemic problems in Sweden.
