I made a few realizations that helped when I switched:

1. If I can carry a laptop somewhere, I likely don't ever need to borrow someone else's computer there. (Today with pocket-sized bluetooth keyboards and your average phone, this seems even easier to do.)

2. If I can't bring a laptop, but I'm allowed to RDP, I can often RDP into my own machines. Your machine still uses the keyboard layout you tell it to, so even if you are working on a QWERTY host machine you might still be typing Colemak to your own machine.

3. If I need to help someone else on their computer, it is often better for teaching/learning to let them do it themselves and just direct/supervise.

4. In the worst case, even in modern times, a surprising number of people hunt-and-peck on keyboards. The only person that feels embarrassed about me hunt-and-pecking on someone's QWERTY keyboard is me, most other people don't even notice (it is still that common). Even if I can't touch type in QWERTY any more, I can still do everything I need to accomplish on other people's machines with hunt-and-peck, and that's fine. I just had to give myself permission to feel embarrassed about that.

(4) is definitely the hardest. It's also not as necessary for some people as it was for me. Colemak was designed for, and some people are quite good at, being able to use it side-by-side QWERTY and keeping touch typing skills in both. If you use physically different keyboards for the two, your muscle memory can use context clues to use the right touch typing in the right place. In my case my QWERTY touch typing form was bad and unlearning it was also part of the reason for switching to Colemak and after I switched it was never worth learning "proper" QWERTY touch typing and I have long since lost any embarrassment I had at hunt-and-pecking on other people's QWERTY keyboards.

Not if the ruling was on constitutional grounds. Well, they can pass a new law and claim that it's constitutional, of course - but it would be likely to blocked right away in the lower courts if it is in blatant contradiction with the earlier ruling, regardless of whether those courts agree with the ruling itself. Worst case, it just gets appealed all the way back to SCOTUS which strikes it down again, so it's not at all like the usual 2/3 supermajority legislative override of the executive veto.
I think you are absolutely right. It's easy to think you are supposed to use a [x y z] tensor when it expects a [z y x] and you don't find out until runtime.

It would he even better if tensor dims from loaded models could be infered ahead of time in the editor.
> User stories as requirements seems to be the dominant understanding.

Really? Maybe I'm just lucky but I've not seen it yet in my career (10 years). The "as a, I want, so that" text is normally just a summary of who/what/why, and the ticket will include acceptance criteria detailing the changes to be implemented. For features larger than a couple of tickets PO's and PM's will usually keep up with requirements in planning docs that are in Confluence, Google Docs, etc.
That's how I interpreted it too. Dang text. My neighbors don't give me any trouble about my yard thankfully. I just try to minimize the number of dandelion seeds I share with them. Collected a bunch of flowers for a friend the other day who wanted to make some jelly with them. I haven't put any chemicals down in the back yard since we moved in and she was talking about how she didn't know what was safe to harvest. Went ahead and got her set up, lol. Keeps the puffballs down and she's got her jelly ingredients. Win-win.
>From what I have heard, all of these issues come back as soon as someone comes off the drug. So either a person is committing to a lifetime of being dependent on this drug, or a person is committing to some period of time of ideal living, followed by a possible time of depression after reverting to the status quo.

This is true of every weight loss intervention: Weight Watchers, low-carb, keto, Whole 30, etc. Once people stop complying with them, they gain the weight back.

Most people don't realize how dismal the stats on long-term weight loss are. Almost no one maintains a substantial amount of weight loss for many years by following "just eat healthy and exercise" advice. The only intervention that does reliably work is bariatric surgery. The jury is still out on the new GLP drugs.
heat induced denaturing of proteins?
The problem is that too much of literally anything is toxic. The job should be crowdsourced, not concentrated. We can all survive the occasional slip-up and report it as needed. Mechanical Turk it; people out there will read and classify this stuff voluntarily. It shouldn't be on a handful of the same individuals to be forced to read CSAM and snuff scripts all day.

Even law enforcement don't visually classify child porn anymore; they just look at file hashes and obfuscated thumbnails. You could randomly redact half the words in any sentence and ask "does this look like a message you would send to your mother?", then compare results across 3 reviewers. Or do a sentiment-analysis first-pass and make sure at least 75% of what these people read is positive.

Humanity has advanced if poor Africans only have to read about this stuff now. In the last century, his Liberian neighbors were having the acts described actually happen to them.
> put the drones in "not even Faraday mesh" but just a fairly open wire sphere because microwaves are trivially neutralized with a "mesh" that has several inches of space between the wires?

My physics is getting a little rusty, but I wonder - are microwaves going to "flow around" this mesh, or "flow through" (following a path along the surface and not leaking inside, ofc.)? Because if it's the latter, then I'd guess that enough energy pumped into microwaves will melt the Faraday cage.
It's saying that the 64-bit mode became dominant over other Intel modes.
> Debian is the vanilla of distros - just enough glue to make stuff work well together.

Just enough glue and tons of patches. I used to love Debian, these days I much prefer the "upstream is king, do not patch it unless it's broken" approach of Arch Linux, and to a lesser extent, Fedora.

I always say that when you learn to use Apache 2 on Debian, you only learn how to use Apache 2 on Debian. There was a moment of confusion the first time I configured it on Arch and there was no /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory. Upstream will always know better, and have better testing facilities than a random maintainer adding their custom solution on top of the vanilla code.

(Since I'm here complaining, I might as well add I dislike deb/apt more than I dislike dnf/rpm, and they are both quite unergonomic)

Just my 2 cents. I respect Debian and its place in the Linux world. I've just fallen out of love with it and that's OK. I wish non-Debian distros were more popular though.
I think this ruling is overall a good outcome, but one loophole I see emerging around Section 230 protections is that social media sites are free to censor/shadowban content according to their ambiguous and arbitrarily enforced TOS. This allows them to favor user content they find agreeable, thus implicitly promoting their own viewpoints while still hiding behind Section 230 protections.

For example if a hypothetical billionaire acquirer of a social media site wanted to (implicitly) promote a cryptocurrency project, he could shadowban negative comments against the project, leaving comments in favor of the project to dominate on the site. At the same time, Section 230 would still shield his company from liability for those comments in favor of the project. This creates a situation in which the social media is in essence promoting the project, but in a roundabout way that shields them from liability. I can see this being especially problematic as it is applied to influencing elections.

In my opinion, Section 230 protections should come with some obligation to respect the principles of free speech.
I specifically looked at Colemak and Tarmak. I didn't like the number of transition steps of Tarmak that reassigns already moved keys.

Ultimately, I came up with my own easier layout[0] and transition steps[1] that's on par with Colemak, or better IMO (on English prose). After much iteration, it ended up looking like an optimized NIRO layout.

One advantage is that it's closer to QWERTY which makes the transition less frustrating. A disadvantage is that the similarity makes it actually harder to easily switch between it and QWERTY until substantial new muscle memory is gained. A funny thing was that on a smaller Surface Go keyboard, I kept QWERTY because my fingers were bumping into each other because of the denser hotspot areas, much like original mechanical typewriters.

One final observation is that I was never a very fast typist and the new layout didn't make me faster. In fact, the amount of typing that I do as a developer in a day wasn't enough to learn a new layout smoothly and had to use typing practice websites to make up the volume. What I do appreciate is that my hands feel much more comfortable all the time now, whereas I was having occasional cramps and on rare occasion shooting pains on the backs of my hands that prevented me from typing for several days at a time.

I have layouts for Mac and Windows. If anyone has an easy to follow how-to reference for Linux (console + X/Wayland?) that would be appreciated. Ultimately an inline USB mapper would be ideal.

You personalize your shell, don’t you? At least I do. My dot files such as .zshrc are in a fit repo, which I check out on a new machine.
I mean the opposite where we're fattening up ourselves like lambs for the slaughter isn't working out great either. We've had recent downward trend in longevity.
Don't worry about getting faster, you'll continue to improve over time. I switched to Dvorak in ~2007 and I am faster now than I ever was on QWERTY. Probably would have continued to improve on QWERTY too, tbf.
Things like these are always "oh no FBI is overreaching", until a terrorist attack happens, and then everyone goes "why did the FBI not do more? what's the intelligence agency good for".

I mean yeah, bubble sort is basically insertion sort but weirdly pessimized in a way that makes negative sense. Giving it a catchy name has probably been a net harm.
I'd personally solve it asap but I would never declare it until it was absolutely critical and then look like a superstar at day0 to offset all of the time I spent doing nothing for weeks.

I just go by "If I feel I am getting on the limit that would give me muscle pain next day I ease out". I am not sportsman and I don't want to beat some goals, I exercise to feel healthy and be able to lift some things I need for other hobbies
How many of those people feel like they have time to pursue more fulfilling activities?

Speaking only for myself, my more fulfilling hobbies feel like a zero-sum proposition when I factor in taking care of myself, my kids, my home, etc. What little leisure time activies I pursue are almost all pursued between the hours of 9 and 11pm, because that's the time I have.

I think the OP is right in a lot of ways, that work has replaced our other social outlets. But its also the case that just existing costs more, so time formerly spent on hobbies is now spent on basic lifestyle maintenance, and the time formerly spent on basic lifestyle maintenance is spent working, or commuting to/from work (because a lot of people can't afford to live near they work).
Because none of the people afflicted have done anything about it.
well if is actually heating the skin it could denature proteins? that can happen at a little 105 degree F. your body operates in the mid 90s naturally if its hot out it wouldn't take much added energy to push you over the limit.

EDIT

a quick wikipedai search says it can heat the skin to 111 degree F so yeah it could easily do damage.

I hear you on all that, but that seems to be an argument that corporations with headquarters outside the bay area (like landlords who live outside the bay area) shouldn't be allowed to own real estate in San Francisco.
Never trust a fart on orlistat. The horror stories I’ve read of people soiling themselves after eating seemingly normal meals is nuts. On par with Olestra/Haribo sugar-free stories. Also it makes absorbing fat soluble vitamins a huge issue.
No! There is no horizontal boring, at least not on any system I ever touched or heard of. I don't know where that idea came from.

There's typically enough gravel under the slab and around the foundation that there's plenty of soil-gas transport without doing anything more. So the install is just a simple vertical hole through the corner of the slab somewhere. Maybe you scoop out a few handfuls of soil before sticking the pipe in the hole, but there's no horizontal boring. Here's a very typical one:

Here's another, including a side tap to a crawlspace:

https://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/blogs/science-health/e...

Not shown is the crawlspace portion of that system, which would use a horizontal perforated pipe _laying on the surface of the crawlspace floor_ and covered with a plastic membrane that's taped to the walls:

At no time is pipe tunneled horizontally under the house.
Then build them. I'm not seeing the issue here, to be honest, so I'm not sure what I should be addressing.

If the issue is that you don't like how the dependency has arranged to build (I'm not sure why you'd actually care, but just in case...), then port the makefile (or whatever) to your preferred system.

Or, another guess, is the issue that you want to build all your dependencies as if they were an integral part of your own project? If that's the case, I would argue that you're doing it wrong and another tech stack would make you happier.
If they were using generation ships, we would definitely see them because there is no stealth in space and they would have to have a visible heat signature, and they wouldn't be hovering and zipping around the way UFOs are reported to.

If we have to take UFO reports at their word, just for the sake of argument, what is described at the very least appears to have some form of non-reactive propulsion that acts like gravity control. Just them being able to move at high velocities without creating a sonic boom or any visible means of propulsion would put them in the realm of using some kind of weird new physics we don't understand.
People are coming up with some wacky solutions, but am I missing something or can you just pull in more seawater and dilute the brine closer to the ocean's natural salinity before you send it back into the ocean?

To what purpose? And why would their integrity be different from other archival services, like libraries and museums?
Wait, so unknown hyped tech X didn't work out and you went back to stuff that has been around for 30 years?

Fwiw, large-scale jammer systems using radio frequencies are already deployed and quite effective in Ukraine. Curious what the advantage is here.
I love the bit that sticks out on desktop with the QR code. Stellar work, Ben!
That's effectively what I suggest in the other replies. You separate internal from external callbacks, and run the internal ones first and enqueue the set of external ones, then run those at the end. All subsequent externally-driven changes should be enqueued until the next "turn", ie. after all changes have settled. This preserves transactional semantics.
If you're not a presenter or decision maker, then decline the meeting and say "If there's something I need to do as a result of this meeting please let me know".

If you're still forced to attend then update the development schedule to reflect the impact of that time.

Managers can't change physics no matter how much they want - you're either writing code or attending meetings, not both.
Scots being "Brits"
Very true, although the question is at what distance it would effect that, because a clustered explosive payload just needs to go off near the target and have the pressure wave do the rest. Going off "on" the target is ideal, but not strictly necessary to do the damage it needs to do.
Could be anything, but wouldn't be surprised if it were some other bug leading the driver to conclude there's 65355 devices attached, and it needs to probe each of them.
> If anything the opposite is far more bleak. Imagine if there was a drug that meant you're less easily satisfied, who on earth would want that?

That sounds like stimulants. You wouldn't be motivated to do things if you were satisfied, so any drugs that motivate people would seem to need to have to have such an effect.
1 or even 5 years is nothing. Aside from maybe individual frameworks, nothing will completely die within such a short timespan.
The good thing about this article is asking why there are user stories. Making up an answer isn't so great, though. Better to look at the history.

Agile concepts are a reaction to authoritarian companies that do "big design up front," where the programmers were supposed to do what they're told, assuming the people who wrote the requirements knew what they were doing. XP was invented by consultants working on a payroll system at a Detroit auto maker. [1]

Often the requirements were bad, resulting in expensive delays or outright project failures. This was meant to be empowering developers in a system where they were at the bottom of the org chart.

If those aren't the kinds of problems you have, maybe user stories aren't the solution?

A related concept is "access to a user representative" where, if you don't understand a requirement or it's ambiguous, you can ask a domain expert what it means. You shouldn't need to call a meeting to do it, either. Originally this meant physical proximity. Unfortunately this gets watered down a lot.

These days we have a lot more communication, often remote. I think there might still be problems getting accurate requirements and with plans changing, though?

I love `ps axufww` so much and ah fuck to having learned it that way. It's the first thing I run on a server when logging in. It tells you so much about the system. That, `w` and a `dmesg -T` will go 90% of the way to diagnosing most system issues.
More code isn’t better. As an engineering manager I don’t want 5x as many lines of code. I want the code you work on to be solving the right problems. Figuring out what the right problems and solutions are and making sure everyone on the team understands them is why you’re in meetings.
Weight has been increasing for nearly 40 years now in the US among all groups. Trying to point this out as any kind of individual failure just has not, and is not going to work. It's tantamount to telling someone to stop smoking in 1950. Yes, some people did manage to, but the vast majority stopped smoking when their lungs no longer supported them living.

When pretty much everywhere you go is plastered in signs saying "EAT THIS YUMMY UNHEALTHY BULLSHIT" and said bullshit is cheap and highly available don't be surprised when we have society wide problems. Add to that our work practices commonly have us hold down a computer for 8 hours a day, it should be no surprise we are where we are.
>I spend 4 - 5 hours a day in meetings and am still expected to deliver actual code.

The problem is that meetings are considered work and there's no output from those other than long term planning that can't be measured day to day.
Measuring without knowing how it's going to be used tends not to be very useful. Or you end up spending a ton more effort and compute and network on measurements than actually doing the thing you wanted to do.

Sometimes you end up with a happy accident where you want to know something and the past measurements are useful, but pretty often when you start looking at the data, there's some reason it's not actually useful.
Show HN: CXC – A structured data interchange format for UTF-8 encoded text
Hi HN, here is my take for a minimal structured format. It doesn't specify anything other than the structure, and leaves the data type specifics to the application.
My guess is it just overwhelmems the control. Solving auto-homing sounds like a hard problem and it's more feasible to just have the drone land on the loss of control.
Perhaps effective against completely autonomous vehicles?
It's not just you! The last thing I want is a WTF from Penrose...

This was just an oversight from me trying to cram in too much writing, and I'll fix it tonight once the kids are down. I explained the intended connection in a different comment — basically I started the newsletter with the goal of reading Penrose's book, doing all the exercises and trying to build out a community reading it together.

But my notes were just as confusing as the book, so I spent 3 years working on a port of Sussman's computer algebra system and sewing it together with this notebook engine, MathBox for 3D rendering, Mafs, Leva, MathLive, and JSXGraph and Reagent for a declarative way of sharing state between everyone.

Then I pieced it all together in this essay, tried to keep it concise, and blew it by not filling in the whole genesis story and GOAL of following Penrose.

I'll add that, and I will cover chapters of the book too!
Very cool!

AI should to context fill more detailed textures and fix some geometry issues with the buildings.
I'm sure its because most people aren't going to talk about illegal drug use and when it goes wrong.
I got a split columnar keyboard and switched to colemak-dh.

I really really love it. My two biggest pain points is that the keyboard is annoying to move so I can't take it everywhere, and my muscle memory is tied to my keyboard.

I use original vim mappings but I use a modifier key for home row arrows (with added benefit that it's now available in all programs).

I think I'll stay, it's comfy here. If I need to, I can take my keyboard elsewhere
> “what probability” he would assign. “One hundred per cent,” Dr Nolan said.

This is not a statement a scientist would make.
I really hope that takes off because you are correct. Python though has such a fluid syntax that I'm not sure TS can match. For example when you want to sum two Numpy arrays, you just need the + operator, while that sort of thing is notoriously unpredictable in JS.
Yes there is. https://www.navair.navy.mil/foia/sites/g/files/jejdrs566/fil...
