> The close second being 17, because length in bytes. Is another fine way to represent this data, e.g. what a successful write of some sort would look like. Network or file.

Almost. 17 is the number of bytes it occupies in memory. But you don't generally dump memory directly to disk or network. It happens to make sense (and it's convenient) for utf8 strings. But it's better to be explicit about that. Python is better. If you care about bytes, say you care about bytes:

len(bytes(" ", "utf8")) == 17
len(bytes(" ", "utf-16-be")) == 14
len(bytes(" ", "utf-32-be")) == 20
I loved mine back in the day. Also later had a Zaurus SL-C860 I had to order from Japan. I think that was the first computer I used as an eBook reader. Having a little Linux palmtop was magic back in the day.

I always lusted after several of the Psion models though, from the Psion 2 onwards. They were just such nicely designed things, even if you just looked at them as bits of industrial art.
This conversation is going in circles.

Linked study equivocating on the overstatement of statin side-effects has the first author as a pharmaceutical consultant (you do not see this as a problem, I do).

2% ARR is meager in relation to lifestyle changes that can account for 3x-15x the in ARR compared to statins (you do not see this as a problem, I do).

Those are the facts. How you interpret them is subjective.

All of the money and manpower thrown into statins, could have been thrown into smoking cessation programs or preventing onset of type 2 diabetes. This is an opinion.

Saving 1 life for every 50 patients, at the cost of untold resources, instead of saving 6-30 for every 50 is myopic. This is an opinion.

Medical significance is an opinion. The determination of significance is a subjective interpretation. This is not a "this idea concurs with my sentiments, so I will say it is so. Period." This is math. Statistical interpretation is an opinion. The difference in statin efficacy vs. lifestyle changes is a quantifiable fact. The difference is 3-15x. To take a statistical finding without incorporating it into the larger context is poor practice, bordering on deception (the former is a fact, the latter is an opinion).

Here are 50 people aged 50 y.o. from the general population:

OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO

Here is the same group of people after 25 years (14 have died due to CVD-related mortality):

XXXXX_XXXXX | XXXXO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO

Here is the same group of people after 25 years, but they were on statins:

XXXXX_XXXXX | XXXOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO

Here is the same group of people after 25 years, but instead of statins, the smokers ceased smoking:

XXXXX_XXXXX | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO

Here is the same group of people after 25 years, but instead of a treatment, all of them developed diabetes:

XXXXX_XXXXX | XXXXX_XXXXX | XXXXX_XXXXX | XXXOO_OOOOO | OOOOO_OOOOO
Quite serious. It isn't like free movement stops people from implementing a local plan against homelessness.

> How will you define a local? What happens if someone lives in a town for 10 years then loses their home. What if theyre not a local but they are a minor? Or if they are an immigrant?

I'm not sure what point you're wanting to make here, but yes. If a group of locals wants to solve homelessness in their area they will need to decide on answers to those questions. Frankly they aren't hard questions. Born in a geographic area or owned a home for 5+ years, yes, no, yes if they owned a home locally.

How do define who gets to be a citizen for a federal response to homelessness? It faces exactly the same problems. America can't afford to provide welfare for all of Asia.

I find using ChatGPT useful in getting an answer that is likely to the average of most of the information out there.

I still use Google, but as others have said, the list of links is just that, a list of links.

On the coding side, I do not find the code produced by ChatGPT to be great. But I do like the fact that I can ask it for a module that does X and it often can identify one of more modules.

That is something I find hard to get out of Google as developers do not always put the best keywords or use cases in the online docs.

Zero Knowledge Proofs

You get a degree. You can prove that you got the degree from an accredited university, if that university is providing some cryptographic form of that degree, without revealing the name of that university.

This only works if multiple universities sign on to a ZKP scheme, because (obviously) if only a single university did this you would know which university it was.

Street Fighter 6 in-depth review
Teachers, miners, writers, factory workers, grocers and truckers have gone on strike. How is software development any different?

Software developers aren't police, doctors or nurses. There is no safety argument.

I've had a few conversations with people who have said the same thing, and the conclusion has been that they don't want to strike because they do not want to lose their jobs, and because culturally they view themselves differently from all of those other people. That sounds cowardly to me- especially when folks like you advocate covert disobedience (i.e., sabotage) instead of overt disobedience like striking.

EDIT: I see in a sibling comment that you say software systems can keep running without software developers, and that is why you judge them to be different. In my experience that is only partly true, but in combination with the push for code automation, I can understand the fear that if software developers strike, they will be replaced by AI. I actually think that is more reason to strike and strike now. It is up to software developers to create those job replacing AI systems. Like you said, software developers lack class consciousness- that is more the reason to raise consciousness now- and the best way is through overt action.
I am groving most foods I consume, not for business but mostly for pleasure to deal with the soil.

We (the humanship) are efficient but not sustainable if to consider few decades only (because intensive farming makes more harm to soil per one dinner), but if to consider at least few hundreds years then the situation is opposite - we are sustainable by the sacrification of efficiency. That's why I consider your argumentation as faulty.

I understand a mechanization point but do not understand how computerization can help me, computerization means just counting faster, store more information and probably self-driving tractors instead of man-driving ones.
It's not Linux, but you can roughly get this form factor with mainstream devices without having to take a risk on small companies or crowdfunded projects. There are hinged laptop-style cases for the iPad Mini. iPadOS is generally good with keyboard shortcuts so that would be a decent combo as long as you can put up with the limitations of the OS.

Zagg sells a hinged keyboard that works with 7 inch tablets. I bought one alongside an Amazon Fire 7 inch during a black friday sale. Thought it would be fun to have a mini laptop for around $50. The two worked well in conjunction. Was even almost pocketable. But the Fire was slow. If someone spent all their time in Termux, the Fire might have been fast enough.

It's a pity the 7 inch Windows tablets didn't sell well and have largely vanished from the market. One could install Linux on them, and use them with something like the Zagg keyboard.

I guess there's one more possible option. Boox's eink tablets have support for BT keyboards. Pair the 8 inch model with one of the hinged keyboards. As long as the screen can keep up with the typing (I have no idea) that might work well.
Everything that you can do to a Unicode string, except concatenation, is defined in terms of code points. Normalization, case transformations, collation, regexes, layout and rendering and encoding.

For example, let’s say you want to define a “natural sort” order that sorts e.g. “A2” < “A10”. To do that you divide the string at boundaries between code points in ranges of each numeral type that you are supporting (e.g. western numerals, Arabic numerals, Chinese numerals).
I hope when you talk about "days", those are just travel days. Be sure to stop a while somewhere nice and explore if you have time.

As Rick Steves says, if you can't justify staying somewhere for at least one night, it might be a good idea just to keep moving!

I switched from KDE to Mac some months back and I'm shocked how many window management features are missing. I'm especially disappointed about the dock. I would love being able to see native window previews when hovering over an application icon. Also I would like to split the dock into the different spaces (virtual desktops). Currently the dock seems not to be considering the fact tha Mac OS supports spaces.

But it does - the genius of utf-8 is that it was deliberately designed to be backwards compatible (it even preserves the ascii sorting order). You can run C programs written before utf-8 was invented with utf-8 inputs (unlike with the abomination that is utf-16).

If a code point is outside the ascii range (0-127 inclusive), then it's utf-8 encoding is also guaranteed to not contain any ascii bytes. So as long as you treat anything inside 128-255 as "some unknown character", the utf-8 code points will be preserved and eventually displayed when the byte sequence is parsed as utf-8 by your terminal/browser/whatever.
People using C will not change to your language-du-jour, please stop.

It’s going to be all of those but especially power consumption and form factor. I’d be interested to see someone log how much power they use on idle/serving simple k8s tasks, etc.

Plus, they’re just not well built if you have to open them up for any reason. Do-able, but not confidence instilling.

Plus, at the scale enterprise probably uses NUCs they should sell second hand at 50-100$. But of course nowadays that gets 2xed by some middle man. At that point, it’s not such a compelling case to buy something they probably kept booted 24/7 for 5 years.

Or buy one of these RPis, accept the salt of that deal, but at least it’s actually new.
Whenever I see tools like this for Mac I can't help but wonder if I am seriously missing something.

Unlike when I use Windows, I just don't use command (alt) tab on Mac. I rely almost entirely on gestures on my trackpad (three fingers swipe up to see all my windows that are not minimized).

With the added benefit of that allowing me to drag those windows to other screens/desktops right from that UI.

Is there some power user advantage I am missing out on here or is this sort of making Mac work more like Windows? On Windows I use alt tab all the time just because... I find its windows management sucks compared to Mac.

Mad (ML/AI/Data) Landscape
Yeah it's just a matter of subjectivity. I got Rift CV1 at launch and played Echo Arena, it was more like going IRL paintball or bowling or playing laser tag to me than a video game. I felt like I was really doing an activity. Not just laying back on a couch moving my wrist in millimeter increments lazily to play Elden Ring. I like both but I prefer VR experiences that don't require full body movement.

If I'm going to do a full body experience I for the most part just prefer real life activities with the ability to feel and physically touch things. The one big exception I had was Windlands.

> the macro can implement a whole new syntax and semantic -> then to say the enclosed items are 'args' is misleading: it's source code in a new sublanguage with a different syntax/semantics.

Not exactly. It still needs to conform to something the Lisp Reader can absorb, i.e. something that looks like lisp. Then there are reader macros. That's where the true extensibility resides (and in addition to the new syntax elements, you'll need to reserve boundary keywords for that syntax).

Not all degrees are the same. Not everyone needs to be Ivy League. But especially with the current waive of partisan fuckery in higher education, I want to make sure I’m not getting a dud.

Sounds familiar. I worked at a bank once that had the brilliant idea of swapping out Angular with Polymer, because an early 30s guy with Google in his CV became the new CTO and Decided that it should be Polymer / web components.

They were just about finished with making their Polymer 1.x components ready for Polymer 2 when the Polymer project once again did an overhaul and split off to lit-html or whatever.

I mean they picked an experimental / in development project that was best known for running McDonalds menu displays. We had to fix basics like memory leaks because it didn't have proper routing - it wasn't a web application framework, but they tried to use it as such.

Are we sure this isn't because aircraft iwth airframe parachutes are wildly expensive and/or heavily-customized vehicles? I'm not sure the correlation has been established as causative here.
> The amount of time/effort required to create a reliable estimate would probably double the cost of the completed project (ie, even after taking into account the overshoot on the informal estimate).

I've seen it done, and it's more than double. You have to have most of the work done before you deliver the estimate. The thing is, you have to deliver an estimate that is at least as long as the time you spent producing the estimate, but you're already mostly done, so towards the end of a project there's a lot of gold plating and general screwing around. It's a silly way to work.

And everybody knows what's going on, because people talk. You can't keep it secret. You can only do it as long as upper management thinks it benefits the company. The customer-facing side of the business (sales, customer success) makes a very strong case that faster delivery means happier customers, and more optimistic timelines mean more sales. As much as accurate estimation is an eternal management dream, there's not much benefit to it other than a little bit of dubiously valuable trust and credibility with customers. The idea that "if only we could estimate accurately, we could execute grand strategic visions" is mostly bullshit. You're slowing yourself down, and the only thing you get out of it is that engineering management gets to pat themselves on the back for hitting estimates.
None of the "better" other products have even halfway passing software support. The developers release 1 old kernel with tons of bugs that boots on the board, and that's it.
