Generally the misadventures have been limited to attacks against individuals in personal bitch fights, and overzealous copy protection / license enforcement schemes from paranoid (people selling Xplane planes forex).

There's a lot of hinky stuff out there that doesn't quite reach the level of "malware", just potential fun.

specialized "Visual Studio" extensions are worth looking hard at too.
I remember not too many years ago still flying on a 737-200 (the torpedo engines) in Chile, looking at cabin furnishings that were older than I was, and hoping that we would arrive in one piece (although I know that age has no necessary correlation with safety).
They get more completed work out of the engineers they "over hired" before they have to let them go. Then they'll move 3 cheap engineers to maintain that shiny new product that 30 laid off engineers built.
I think it was Spectrum User. I also recall Your Sinclair being useful. I loved Crash, but that was games focused and mostly because I loved the cover artwork.
In theory it's a good Python alternative if you want more speed. But having done a bit of Go, I tend to agree. Developing in Go can be frustrating.

Java these days is however looking much better.
I’m more interested in startups, as I mentioned all of the “who’s hiring” are remote only.
That is not the reason it is junk. Typically the reason to call something junk is that designing the study itself is difficult, not sample size. There are analysis of small to large groups to determine how small a group can be that will still reflect the whole. 9 does seem on low end, but I think the typically accepted size is something in the 20's of individuals.

I'm guessing that if 9 is enough to call it junk, then 20 would not sway your opinion. What is a good number then? 100? 1000?. Guess could do identical study on groups of 10,100,1000, and show that the results replicate across the size. Of course, this has been done, hence why they get away with smaller sizes.
> Nuclear proponents use the same claim against the renewable industry.

But the claim doesn't make sense against the renewable industry. Just because they make the same claim doesn't make it a good claim.

I, as an individual, can deploy solar power and thus produce my own power. I cannot deploy nuclear power and thus produce my own power.
Historically, people at work wanted to talk about anything other than work. They'd talk about football, politics, last night's Britain's Got Talent, or whatever; yet spend a whole day struggling with a task without asking their colleagues at the same desk for help.

I'll take wfh, thanks.
The opposite argument. Could AI advancements have accelerated if your ML engineers had to live in a crumbling city spending 25% of their work hours commuting and preparing to commute?
> Vast majority of users understand perfectly well that the company needs funding to go on and if it collapses, their online communities will go down with it.

The vast majority of users understand about funding but largely prefer having some ads. That is the price most users are willing to pay. The exact benefit premium membership gives you is hiding ads, which is at the core of the discussion here. And as I said, it accounts for only 3% of what ads make.

And again, you underestimate the feeling of participation as "contribution". Particularly for those users willing to "go further". The people that most invest on the community do so because it gives them as much of a feeling of belonging as one of "ownership". No, those feelings don't mean users "like Reddit", much less as a company; people have strong feelings towards "their" particular subreddits.
What I don't get in all this is the at the beginning of the pandemic, HR, management etc made it very very clear that this was all a temporary situation and remote work would be allowed (enforced) for the short duration of the pandemic and then everybody would be expected to return to the office. I'm sure everyone was given a letter to that effect by HR. What is now going on with this "surprised Pikachu face" where everybody thinks that they can just stay remote for all time? It's ridiculous.

If you decided to sell your house or give up your rental in a good (perhaps expensive) location in the city near your place of work for a "better life" outside the city in new accommodation, well under the knowledge that after the pandemic offices might very well return to work and are now complaining about things like commute and quality of life is frankly laughable. You took a hell of a risk doing that and it's now not paying off.

The thing about being in an office is it's not about you, it's not about what you want and how your life is better being away from the office. It's about what you bring to everybody else, what you bring to a team of people more junior than yourself and what you can do to help other people. It's extremely hard to find new talent in a junior team working remotely - in fact I'd say it's almost impossible.

Pulling up the ladder behind you now that you've got yours and a comfortable life outside the office is frankly selfish. I can see that managers often get the blame here with comments like "they just need people to manage in the same building" I think that's very unfair because actually what they are trying to do is to manage a team of all skill levels and seniorities and by having a remote, or even semi remote, workforce that job is made much more difficult. Covid started about 3 years ago so anyone with less than 3 years of professional experience has probably never ever seen a real working office, just remember that.
> try and tell a story about how their data set is massively valuable for AI (it isn't)

How would it not be valuable?
Communications of the ACM is pretty good and does come as an actual magazine in the mail.
That's pure BEV propaganda. It is pure gibberish.

In reality, hydrogen is guaranteed to win this. BEVs are unsustainable and the whole conversation is based on the delusion of people who have invested too much on that side.

Imagine accepting that hydrogen is fundamental to aviation or shipping, but somehow believing that it is an elaborate conspiracy by the oil companies to push it in cars. That is beyond ludicrous. It is painfully obvious that BEV fans have gone off the deep end and are failing to realize that technology is moving beyond batteries.

Only realistic outcome from this would be Google/Chrome becoming even more dominant since there would be no reason for anyone to use any other browser.
Check the “who’s hiring”. The dominance is long gone, especially for start ups.
That alone is insufficient. Think about the bathroom: the air will be hot and very humid. The walls would have to be way too hot to have a dew point that isn't reached when then hot&humid air cools down at the wall.

So you are left with reducing the humdity by airing out in some way (with windows, with a very non-airtight building, or using automatic ventilation). Or, of course, you can use a dehumidifier.
consensus chamber?
Reddit's ideal scenario would involve its users migrating to other platforms while preserving its archived content.

Its community was once thriving, but the mismanagement ruined it.

Despite reportedly having thousands of employees, Reddit's excessive hiring and ambitious expansion led to wasteful spending.

A platform with basic features like Reddit could easily be maintained by a team of fewer than 100 staff members and generate revenue through Google Ads.
Where did i judge him or attest anything? Maybe i expressed myself badly, in a way that was easy to misunderstand.
> But if a sample is random and representative, you could estimate population statistics of millions (or even infinite) with a sample of just 30 or so.

While that statement is technically correct, it is useless in practice. In order to determine whether a sample is representative (of the trait you are trying to measure), you need to know what the true mean value of the trait is – but if you knew that, you wouldn't need to conduct the experiment in the first place.

That's why it is important to have a large sample size, because under some very general assumptions, the distortions caused by outliers become smaller the more samples you look at. In the limit (that is, when the sample size equals the population size) those distortions disappear entirely, and the sample mean becomes the true population mean.
They are extremely inaccurate. But relative measurement is OK - you can see rising or falling pollution. When I put one in kitchen it "died" pretty fast - I think the cooking oil grease got onto the sensor and it is game over for me. Shows MAX PM2.5 all the time.
You're both probably right.

20 years ago nuclear was the best, quickest & cheapest path to decarbonization, so the fossil fuel industry would be anti-nuclear.

Today renewables are the best, quickest & cheapest path to decarbonization, so the fossil fuel industry would be anti-renewable.

And in neither decade is hydrogen the best path, so the fossil fuel industry is pro-hydrogen. Especially since hydrogen uses many of the same techs as fossil fuels and you can ramp up hydrogen with fossil fuel derived "grey hydrogen".
while the headline is clickbait, and the so called expert is high on their own supply, the harm caused by such statements is difficult to measure. but very real.
I don't think a lot of people know this. The evidence required for a physiological intervention is lower than a surgical or pharmaceutical intervention. The AMA used to lump psychology with things like chiropractic, acupuncture and homeopathy until they were sued by chiropractors under antitrust law in 1987.
You appear to be using CC BY-NC (although it's ambiguous if that applies to the schematics/3d files or only the instructions?) which isn't an open source licence, as it violates point 6 of the open source definition. [0]

I didn't say it as a moral judgement or anything, just that this is something that has been observed since the dawn of time.
It's not just the direct hourly operating cost, it's that they were able to buy the less fuel-efficient planes for dirt cheap to begin with. When you can do that, and your fuel usage isn't a major portion of the operating bill to begin with, you care less that it burns slightly more fuel each short trip per day.
> Are you trolling? No. Also, only nonces are generated for each new _credential_, so you don't need to store so much data on the key. You should be more worried about how long it will take to do the authentization exchange, which takes under a second from my experience.

I'm not talking about the CPU time needed to generate the bits...

Aren't the keys device specific so you need to generate new keys on a new device? It's being touted as a security feature. I'm guesstimating that at 1 hour of the user clicking through various interfaces.

But anyway, my concern is passkeys are adding too many dependencies on devices/providers. Giving me a list of possible devices/providers does not address my concern.
Authenticator has options that avoid approval fatigue. There's a setting that causes it to show a number on screen, and then an option between providing a list of 3 numbers you have to pick from or showing a textbox that you have to type the displayed number into. If it's set up for textbox entry it's unlikely that someone is going to approve a random request.
Cmon dude, you're twisting words.

I agree culture change requires time and effort, but "upfront investment" is not the same as "inherently takes more time and effort".

I even said it takes more time and effort if you are adopting it when other people aren't (I.e. unevenly distributed progress like you mention).
This video is silly.

The app says it’s filtering, and the device is. But she’s not wearing her respirator properly so she smells smoke.

And since she’s wearing it improperly (and was probably not fit tested) the mask isn’t accomplishing what she wants.

This is basically a video that says “I can afford a Dyson zone and have no idea what I’m doing.”
> Which made cheap shoes and clothes available to everybody.

I'd argue the efficiency in production led to lower prices - while the concentration in wealth mostly kept buying power/living standards lower for the workers (or; capitalist class reaped an unfair share of productivity gains).

I believe commodisation of "knowledge" work will lead to lower prices (and unfair distribution) too.
This seems like a massive logical jump? What evidence supports this argument?

NixOS can be validly viewed as a very fancy Systemd configuration toolkit.
If you think about it, ultimately an instance of a modern general-purpose OS is structured as a set of services which are described for and orchestrated by, well, something. In the case of NixOS (not Nix in general!) that something is Systemd (which also happens to be used by all other major Linux distros); in the case of GuixSD that something is GNU Shepherd (which also happens to be used by GNU Hurd)
CAR and CDR can be used to do things other than take lists apart. That's why they have those names.

Nanoplastic Ingestion Causes Neurological Deficits
The article is about PM2.5 consumer units, and I can well believe that price doesn't make much difference.

However, I'd like to point out CO_2 - there are two kinds of sensor. One of them measures volatile organic compounds and assumes that CO_2 correlates with them, and the other actually measures CO_2. The second type costs around £40 for the raw sensor - if your sensor is cheaper than that then it probably isn't actually measuring CO_2.

Additionally Go requires search and replace all over the place, if a module ever changes it SCM location, and having internal build caches for the company, not even bother.
Yeah that’s a good suggestion. There is an example idea and report just below the generator to get a sense, but perhaps unregistered accounts just get recycled ideas and registration is required to use the AI to generate new ones.
I'd be curious to know how the points about pumped storage and more generally the lack of effort in solving grid-level storage issues are disingenuous.

To date, the rebuttal to these points has been weak, and there is little investment in solving them, compared to investment in renewable production.

> to compete with unsubsidized solar/wind/storage solutions.

In Europe, there is no electricity production that isn't subsidized. That's pretty justified, since energy is the lifeblood of a modern society, and energy sectors can't be allowed to fail. I don't know as much about the US, but it seems to be the same [1].

To claim that any actor in this sector is not subsidized just shows that you don't understand the way electricity is funded.

Totally agree. The value that ad blockers (especially uBlock Origin) have given in terms of user experience is immeasurable. It's a stark difference evoking anger as well as sympathy when looking at someone else's default (Chrome, usually) browser not having an ad blocker.
I still believe that cookies consent should be handled by the browser and not by sites. Because all these cookies preferences are temporary in nature and disappear when user decides to clear cache or it gets removed automatically. Not mention that this control via modals applies for device currently in use and doesn't get carried around (not sure if browser synchronization changes anything)

Having this within browser in theory should solve the issue of consent but I frankly doubt that such permanent solution would agree with Microsoft or Google goals. Mozilla - perhaps would roll this but I wouldn't have any big hopes.

And yes, I did intentionally clicked "yes" thinking no 3rd-party cookies will be saved but that was in the early days of GDPR. There are sites that allow users to disable 3rd-party "legitimate interests" cookies under modal submenus and some only show em in enabled state without any options.
Well, unless you stop breating, showering, cooking, keeping plants indoors, etc. you will have to somehow moderate/control the humidity as it will grow over time until the dew point close to walls/windows or other cold surfaces is reached.

The reason why houses in Sweden can be mold free is because people get taught that they need to air out their house on a regular basis. And if you look it up, it tells you to air out not during noon (even though it's warmer so you lose less energy) but in the morning and late evening - specifically for humidity control.

So...

> maybe at the cost of letting more air and energy be swapped

Yes, exactly that. But since we are in the context of air pollution, opening windows to air out isn't a great idea. That's why I mentioned an automatic ventilation system (which pretty much always contains filters).

> Older houses have local vents at the baths which are humidity sensitive and will blow out excess humidity quickly, again at the cost of wasted energy.

Not only that, fresh air will also be sucked in from somewhere else outside - which then again brings the air pollution inside.
FWIW, in the UK unemployment is also very low at the moment.
My position is that large vehicles can be accessibility tools. It's okay for people to need and use such things.

The way you react to that is pretty rude.
You can't apply cake slicing logic because in that scenario everyone likes the (implied homogeneous) cake equally. With gerrymandering, how we slice the cake determines how appealing it is to each party involved, so the gerrymandering slicer could slice a district that would never appeal to the other party. The other party would of course reject it, so you'll at best be in a deadlock.

Whatever solution you might implement to avoid a deadlock can't detect which party is being "unreasonable" in causing the deadlock, so you would need to have another different way of drawing districts, and whatever method that is is likely to be affected by gerrymanderers too. Even something basic like using a uniform 2D grid would likely bias one party or the other, giving an incentive for that party to desire a deadlock for any reason, as they would then win by default.
That kind of assumes there's an endless stream of quality moderators willing to work for free, just waiting for their turn.
The internet also didn't have the traffic it does today, nor the storage or bandwidth demand. Once anything gets popular, scale becomes a problem without a significant budget.
I literally don't see how any of that is different to my coworkers next to me being in meetings all day long and talking loudly, while I'm sitting there are trying to focus. At least at home I can ask my wife to take a kid for a walk because I need to focus for a bit. In the office I can't just tell everyone around me to shut up.
Modules are similar high level.

Naturally you can only enjoy them today on VC++, but the rest will follow.
They have those names because they relate to the registers on the original implementation machine.

time to move on.
good point! yes, agree with what you're saying, i think that was what i was alluding to. i didn't find the selection process in the article, but given that such a study takes a long time to carry through, isn't it absurdly risky to sample such a small group knowing that if it turns out decades later that the sample isn't really representative and you can't really infer anything about the general public?
Lobbying is just legalised corruption
Roles aren't always that well-defined. Many of us aren't recruiters or in sales but can still spend hours a day on planning, etc. calls with distributed teams. It's not practical to seek out a phone booth or alcove for every one of those calls.

> They want to give "mod tools" so essentially give free mods more tools to sink their time and energy in while reddit earns from their generosity. Nice business model.

Oh but you see, they’re just “promises” of mod tools as usual. They’ve been doing this for years at this point, promising mod features that never show up
> Madcap idea was to reduce the size of the horizontal stabiliser (the "tail") compared to the DC-10 (despite the greater size), to reduce its drag. That makes it more difficult to control. To then overcome this a computer called the Longitudinal Stability Augmentation System was devised. We're speaking about 25-30 year old computer technology here. This was meant to enhance the way the tailplane worked.

Eerily similar to the 737 MAX story except the additional training part which mcas was designed to avoid.

I saw in the documentary about it old-time Boeing employees complaining that the new management from MD was playing loose and fast. Looks like this was the culture for a long time indeed..

Edit: Oops I see you referred to that specific issue yourself later on. Sorry I didn't catch it because you didn't mention the MAX in words.
People who buy dysons aren’t known for critical thinking and decision making.

Dyson identifies problems and then markets things that are targeted toward solving the problem. Not that actually solve the problem.

There’s more money in the search than the find.

People are concerned about air quality and n95 and higher respirators are ugly and uncomfortable and don’t signal wealth. The Dyson zone costs $1000 so people who don’t like air pollution, have money, and don’t know what to do now have something.

That being said, I would absolutely buy a stillsuit if it even did 1% of what a real stillsuit does.

In Neal Stephenson’s recent novel, Termination Shock, he writes about “earth suites” that people use to help mitigate heat and sun from climate change. I assume this is based on something available or hacked together so I’m on the lookout for a stillsuit.
Presumably, this company will want to hire again at some point in the future. At that point, people will look back to now, and some will go “perhaps not” RE the poor handling of layoffs. If nothing else, this stuff doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and one might be forgiven for assuming that if they can’t do layoffs properly, they are likely poorly run in other ways.

Personally if I was looking for a job I’d be sceptical of potential employers who handled layoffs notably poorly; it’s just not a great sign of their general competence. There’s nothing rational about advertising that you’re bad at this stuff.

I dont think the smoke and mirrors is going work any more...

Maybe, but it appears me we are seeing the business cycle return to first principles and things like user engagement, user growth, Daily Active Users, etc that were all used to cover up bad business models and non-profitability in the age of free money are over...

an IPO that does not have reddit turning an actual profit (not made up API Money in the future but actual revenue generated from actually selling something to actual clients in an actual market) will be a failure.
