Integrated circuits weren't as accessible; you had to find the data sheet, if you weren't careful you could fry expensive chips easy. Computers were actually hard to damage with software.

You could rip up old electronics for discrete components and make use of them; IC's were much more difficult to salvage for reuse. And yet those were rapidly where all the fun was.
Private Equity Is Now Dominating the US Hospice System
Interesting— I like both but I wouldn’t think of Tarkovsky as having an influence on Malick. What would you say are the similarities, for you? Tarkovsky is intensely formal, seems blocked to the point of almost being choreographed, while Malick is quite the opposite in both regards.
Agree with you that in the case of entrenched rot there's not much that "stay and fix things from the inside" can do to help. I just don't think that the Rust community/leadership has gotten to that point. OP's blog seems to support that, too:

> I was able to reassure myself, by checking these private discussion places, that there were good people, fighting for the right thing to be done. That things weren’t irremediably broken. That there was hope for improvement in the near future.
Forking might be seen as a form of protest against the current leadership or their failure to address the needs and concerns of the community.

If the community does not agree with the leadership's actions (or failure to act) then a fork might be a possible road ahead.

As a biochemist, this seems to be a very complex issue that has been unnecessarily politicized. What happened with this report is interesting in and of itself, but I would not draw any conclusions (or make any inferences) from this, frankly.
Are you aware that there are several officially sanctioned commissions in the US right now that are recommending huge "reparation" payments, funded through tax? (tax being paid mostly by the well off)
Yes, a Prusa Mk3S. Chosen based on recommendations that it was a printer for people who wanted to make things, rather than fiddle with a printer.

It was straightforward to build from the kit. It's been very reliable, and the extra cost vs the cheap junk was worth it.

Designing models takes longer than I expected, but mostly as I'm a bit perfectionist.

In my experience, any excess you generate is given to you in 1:1 credit. Any excess in the credit after a year is paid in a fraction of rates, yes. Sure I have a daily basic charge, but that's on the TOU plan, not NEM. Otherwise what did you think NEM 3.0 changed if NEM 2.0 was already a fraction of retail rates? Which power company are you on and what rates are you getting?

Even the CPUC's website says "retail rate (including generation, distribution, and transmission components)": https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NEM/

The grid has to be built to handle peak power, and if you don't have a battery, solar doesn't help with that. But it's not fair to split up grid fees evenly, say in the daily basic charge I have in my TOU plan, because poorer people will use less power and contribute less to peak. And you've brought up points on why raising prices during peak is no good either, then it'll be only affordable to the ones who have solar to offset it. And any fees only to solar customers disincentivizes solar.
It would be nice to have a non-trackable option, like cash.

Pull up, give the cashier $20 for "pump" 5, and you get to draw $20 in kilowatt-hours.

Or even just a paper bill acceptor if you don't want to pay a cashier. Common enough at car washes.
But imagine if instead it was “Not this again.”
Helix editor has it built-in so it's a good place to start looking into tree-sitter. For me the important parts are:

- Much better (and faster) syntax hilighting

- Shrink and expand selection (select variable, all variables inside parentheses, the whole block, the whole function)

- Select next or previous sibling node

- Goto matching bracket from where I am right now

- Jump between functions

- Jump between type definitions

- Jump between parameters

- Jump between comments

- Jump between tests

I think Helix must be the easiest way to start experimenting with tree-sitter. You need no plugins, just install the editor and start experimenting:

There's got to be some social reason why you're listening to Nier: Replicant as opposed to something else.

I didn't expect any downvotes, but it seems I hit a nerve.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, that wasn't my intention, I just don't know anything about the kinds of people who would listen to video game soundtracks. I figured there might be some stories to share.
That should be read as "the presence of incompetence implies that those incompetent lawyers [...]." Sorry if you found the phrasing ambiguous.

(The only really important part of the original comment is the part about CLEs: we have an entire professional educational system that ought to be able to accommodate subjects like this.)
Anyone knows, why github code navigation, which is based on tree-sitter [1], supports only subset of languages for which tree-sitter has parsers [2]? For example, Common Lisp is not supported. I asked github [3], but they are silent.

1 - the "search based" navigation is based on tree sitter https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/u...

2 - the list of parsers in the official docs: https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/

If you're of child rearing age your risk of dying was like driving 10,000 miles. Also, you're delegating your responsibility to the "other". As other posters mentioned if that level of risk is unacceptable you can choose to take measures that bring the risk more inline with whatever tolerance you have.

Some of us are more afraid of an all powerful state using any excuse to further their own interests.
Not sure I understand the full meaning but I hope Canada does something similar to import more experienced doctors and nurses.
There is a paper linked on Wikipedia stating that studies conducted in Germany showed that "Water fluoridation was followed by a decrease of caries, and interruptions in fluoridation were followed by increasing caries levels." but also "There was a significant caries decrease down to the lowest DMFT (2.0) since 1959 in spite of the fact that only F-poor water was available over years [...] explained by changes in caries-preventive and environmental conditions."

Interesting. Aside from trying the steps here [1] one thing I could suggest is to disable any addons, clear cache and see if that changes anything. Or if you have the Slack client which I think is based on Electron maybe that won't hit the same issue.

The only difference I see when I query OpenDNS vs CF and Google is that the EDNS packet size returned from CF is 1232 from dns flag day, Google is 512 and OpenDNS is 4096. I was going to test with the EDNS validator but that is meant for authoritative servers and chokes on recursive. Using this tool [3] with OpenDNS and Slack I get back a lot more IP's. Maybe that is what Chrome is choking on.

Another thing to try is this [2] Go to chrome://flags and search for dns and disable the "Built-in Asynchronous DNS"

It seems so wrong to use python in embedded but I know that's me being a turd sandwich.

But I do have to admit, arduinos and rpi zeros are in the same price point. I don't blame people not needing analog for going rpi even when it is gross overkill.

I'm just a minimalist. If I can do my project with 16kb of RAM, I'm not going to throw a GB at it.

That all said... This article is silly. No raspberry pis aren't popping or something. The biggest complaint I think most people have with them is you can't buy them anywhere. Constantly sold out. I would have bought two or three this year otherwise...
For one pFsense used the domain opnsense.com to discredit OPNsense and had the domain taken away from them. They also heavily edit Wikipedia if anything negative is added. There are some pages on Google about it, but I can't be bothered to search for it atm. See pfsense @ wikipedia for the domain thing.
Everyone here knows exactly who I am talking about. That isn't who the leadership is (as you well know).
youtube-dl will error out. yt-dlp works differently, and works with more videos.

I believe youtube-dl simulates the browser Javascript client and yt-dlp emulates the Android client, though I'm not 100% sure of the modern workings.
How would you even distinguish people who immediately realized the video was shit and so downvoted and didn't watch from trolls?

Have you done any other form of work that you don't find so disinteresting? To be honest most office work is quite banal, coding is probably amongst the most interesting roles in the building.
lolinder is exactly right on what I meant to say (including what they said in the sibling post to this comment). But I hear your point, too, Klonoar. It's definitely worth pointing out that people can have good reasons for "going public" after realizing they couldn't fix things from the inside.
I did, but wow. Imagine if brake fluid was hypergolic?! Think of the periodic "exciting" news stories there would be from time to time!
Microsoft and Alphabet have plenty of motivation to keep things on track, as does the Linux Foundation and others. I suspect that, if things get completely out of hand, that corporate sponsors might impress their will upon the Rust Foundation to address any issues around governance.

Politics will creep into anything, if one allows that to happen.

Tom Hanks is a master at the craft and shares an enlightening and unique perspective on movie making and life.
The thing is though that the depth is contracted disproportionally much more than width and height, which results in a non-linear transformation of perceived dimensions. This causes lines to bend. At 47mm straight lines aren’t bent no matter the distance from whatever there is in the picture. At shorter lengths there are always regions in your photo which are distorted in this way. You can’t fix that by changing your position. The only thing you’ll do is change what object is bent and in so doing maybe make it less obvious.
That's not the impression I got from TFA. It sounds like, once you have Emacs compiled with tree-sitter, you also need to have a language binding in a shared library in a known location (that you have to compile yourself or depend on the kindness of strangers). And once you have that, you actually need someone to write a major mode that utilizes it at all. And if you want to make that major mode the default for that file type, there are a few other things you need to do. Etc.

No, don't, because it's not good to normalize such manipulative ways of communicating.
everything moved towards surface mount components. These are a lot harder to work with than the through hole parts. Then a lot of manufacturing went to Japan/Korea/Taiwan and latterly to China.
A quirk of US tax law said 'parts in inventory are carried at cost' and not depreciated. If you want to write them off, you must sell them.
This meant that a company making 500,000 widgets, who had a bad sale year may end up with parts to make 50,000 widgets. The next year's design differs = parts useless to them = sold off cheap to used parts dealers(called 'surplus' = 100% good new parts), like Radio SHack and many others = lots of stuff.
Now this business has collapse and you can only buy parts cheap on Ali-express, Ebay. New parts from Digikey are readily available in small/large amounts at the normal price.

TCL, Forth and Lisp are languages with minimum possible syntax, delegating all higher-level concepts to runtime structures and conventions (e.g. which list position means what), whereas Lua for its syntax and semantics inherited, pruned and elegantly integrated the best features of Modula-2 and other languages. It is true that Lua is more familiar to C developers than the mentioned languages, since both Lua and C look back to the ALGOL ancestry; but Lua - unlike C - clearly follows the Pascal heritage.
FWIW, I copy-pasted the example to GPT-4 and played with it a bit, and doing so I noticed that I do need to keep consciously overriding my intuition at all times when reading the output - the moment I stop, I get confused, and have to re-read the last 1-3 lines with even more concentration.
> only person that likes doing that stuff... leads to episodes like this

This reminds me of an episode in Scrubs where one of the residents volunteers to announce bad news to patients or family [1].

Several patients later, the lead doc tells them, "... if you could stop worrying so much about who does and doesn't notice... you. Even for a second... that'd be good; that'd be real good."

Their plaintive explanation previously was, "I just wanted to be colleagues."

It wouldn't surprise me volunteers pick up diplomatic work, and it just doesn't jive like a computer program at all. With humans, who knows what we are getting into?

Should we have goals up-front before we dive into open-source? Whether it's for respect and recognition, or a completely selfless quest for the good of a project we care about, or something else.

Maybe we just love to write code; the project is cool; and we just want to be involved.

I guess we have to be ready when the system does not behave like we expect, and we can't QA behavior or choices. That's the hard part of soft skills.

Having done this for a long time, I agree even more at the practical level - holding perfect Turing security to the side.

My priorities now are:

- Don’t use computers if you don’t have to

- if you do, keep complexity at an extreme minimum

- also minimize who needs to access it

- minimize data collection where possible for strictly the task you need it for

- Keep data mostly at rest and with as few stops when it does have to move

- End-to-end is your friend

- Where possible make everything transparent

- State machines for all the things

Google didn't think it'd be worth it to pursue a solution that would solve this, and probably nobody internally wanted ownership of it. The second best solution is the one that doesn't cost much and solve the problem. Youtube being the only game in town, where are people gonna go anyways? Daily Motion? Post implementation KPI probably showed that traffic hasn't budged, and the problem has been solved. As far as Google is concerned, it was a rational decision.
Just curious: Can you share your list of languages to learn?
The vast, vast majority of Google results do not support your claims. I’m glad you found one that did, and I’m all for more studies, but “it’s really not that hard to google” is both condescending and doesn’t move the argument forward. You are the one making an argument against the established widespread medical opinion; the onus is on you to prove your argument, not on me to prove your argument for you.

“ There is little evidence that sunscreen decreases 25(OH)D concentration when used in real-life settings, suggesting that concerns about vitamin D should not negate skin cancer prevention advice. However, there have been no trials of the high-SPF sunscreens that are now widely recommended. What's already known about this topic? Previous experimental studies suggest that sunscreen can block vitamin D production in the skin but use artificially generated ultraviolet radiation with a spectral output unlike that seen in terrestrial sunlight. Nonsystematic reviews of observational studies suggest that use in real life does not cause vitamin D deficiency. What does this study add? This study systematically reviewed all experimental studies, field trials and observational studies for the first time. While the experimental studies support the theoretical risk that sunscreen use may affect vitamin D, the weight of evidence from field trials and observational studies suggests that the risk is low. We highlight the lack of adequate evidence regarding use of the very high sun protection factor sunscreens that are now recommended and widely used.”
Fluoride in salt? I know they put iodine in table salt, but not fluoride.

I have never heard of it being in salt. Maybe you think of iodine?
I'm sorry but discouraging white males from attending a conference has approximately nothing to do with "allowing other people to also attend". It's a weird brand of discrimination (racism and sexism) based on the unfounded idea that any coveted group must have a racial and sexual profile equivalent to that of an arbitrary overall population. Additionally, there would be no need to exclude people on the basis of their race and sex if the minorities they'd like to include simply participated in the desired proportions, and in fact equity programs originally prioritized outreach to achieve that, but as it turns out, few industries have a demographic profile that matches the overall population. Therefore some have turned to racist and sexist exclusion.

Prioritizing non-whites and non-Asians for things like university admissions, employment and promotions is the same thing. You're not just giving your preferred groups the opportunity to compete, you're lowering your standards for them and raising them for the disfavored groups, creating barriers based on an immutable characteristic, which is skin color. Plain and simple racism.

You don't have to post your alleged experience with racism if you don't want to, but to then imply that I am racist for sharing mine and asking you to reciprocate sure is disingenuous. For the record, I care about equality, which is why I reject equity, since its implementation is predicated on the discriminatory policies that I described.
thanks! yeah gotta make it better on mobile, such small screens!
I think we’re talking at cross purposes. My list isn’t intended to be
a list of things that only straight people do. I’m in a gay marriage
myself, so I’m perfectly aware that gay people can have spouses,
children, etc. My point is exactly that gay people should be free to
mention all the things on the list in just the same way that straight
people regularly do (in programming communities and many other
contexts).

As for why people bring this stuff up, I think that reduces to the question of why people make small talk. I don't know, but they do.
I think at first you need some rest. Second, you need to accept that work cannot be interesting all the time. If that is a problem, consider moving to another project or role, not necessarily now. Different tasks and responsibilities often provide some entertainment.

I cannot say that I fully understand you, but I was in a similar situation many years ago, and I changed my role to engineering manager. However, I am currently feeling that it is not the most exciting thing too, so I have decided to make a game about my role to give more meaning to my work - https://devmanager.carrd.co/

I'm not sure if I answered your question, but maybe there are no good answers to your question.
