I kind of see it both ways. Some really complex stuff on motorcycles is incredibly time consuming & hard. The two hardest jobs I did on my motorcycles were:

First - Repairs after a big racetrack crash where the bike slid and then cartwheeled after crashing around 70mph in a corner. Bike would have been totaled for sure if it was a street crash. It took me months to fix everything considering I was working full time.

Second - Repairing a coolant leak in a horrible spot that required removal of gas tank, airbox, EFI system, etc.. massive surgery. The leak was not that bad but was driving me insane and the shops were all trying to talk me out of doing it as they said they'd charge me a lot.

Those big motorcycle maintenance jobs were insanely rewarding once complete though. And I think they cause you to really view that motorcycle as "yours".

Some bike jobs I do find tedious (cleaning) but things like adjusting a derailleur I'm so good at it I can do it in my sleep so it's quick and hard to get bothered.

Bicycle stuff that bothers me is stuff like routing internal cables or bleeding badly designed brake systems. I do tend to do those though as the shop will charge like $100/hr labor for it and tell you that you have to wait weeks for them to do it. Bicycle tools are super overpriced but they still pay for themselves after only 1-2 jobs!

Bicycle repair does not grant as much of a rewarding feeling when your done and so much bicycle stuff is throwaway. The components all wear out pretty fast and are mostly not repairable.
Every software engineering team in my 20+ years career actually used 2-5 types of UML diagrams: classes, sequences, deployment, activity, state. I think it mostly depends on maturity of the team and engineering culture, whether UML is used or not. There’s certainly some value in it.
The biggest issue is that it doesn't seem like these subreddits are doing anything beyond closing down.

Point people to an alternative. Not just in the vague direction of The Lemmiverse or Squabbles or whatever; if your sub is going dark, you should have somewhere to receive all your refugees.

Even better if the mods coordinate so that all subs are pointing to the same place(s).

Even a shared Discord would have been a big step up imo.

This protest was just gone about the wrong way.
Even gearheads... we buy the car we like, then we customize them. Some of us do like more oddball cars, but it's not necessarily about showing our individuality, as much as we like the experience of those quirky, unique vehicles. Most of us even have a boring, every day daily driver that looks like everybody else's.
France still hasn't built a reactor in several decades. Latest started in 91 and finished in 02. The problem is that the parent missed some parts of the story.
The issue being that in the original question “drop-in” implies complete, that’s what being a drop-in replacement actually means in other contexts. If it’s not complete, then it’s not really drop-in, even though I don’t necessarily disagree with your definition. You can be right, and parent can be right too, IMHO. The FAQ question is stated ambiguously and in misleadingly black and white terms, and the answer really does look kinda funny starting with the word “Yes” and then following that with “but… not exactly”. Wouldn’t it be better to say drop-in is the goal, and because it’s not complete, we’re not there yet?
You can do a lot with Django templates. Sprinkle in any of these and I find it unlikely you'll be reaching for React. Although if you have lots of React experience I am a believer in "use what you know". Tool familiarity > trimming dependencies

On the bright side, that's actually one of the lower-impact things to have an outage on, IMO; if you're using it the recommended way, an outage would only really affect new certs, with older certs just getting renewed slightly later.

That's absolutely wild that they had no test to detect that. I wonder what other obvious bugs are floating around in there.

Their claim that reddit got it right by using community/volunteer moderation really doesn't take into account the fact that the moderators in some communities are actually employees of some interest group who want to influence things.

The moderators of some of the political subs work for certain parties or political groups and it is blatantly obvious.
> You suggested that consciousness is no more than a useful social abstraction

And why not? I'm still unclear why this couldn't be the case. Maybe what we describe as consciousness developed as an evolutionary adaptation for group coordination and survival? To your earlier point about identity, it seems like you're suggesting identity and consciousness are the same, no?

> You can examine consciousness without the need for words.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can you elaborate?

This is a brilliant list, I'm a particular fan of HTMX and Alpine.js.

The move back towards small dependancy free JS libs, in combination with modern JS ES Modules, is absolutely brilliant.

I learnt web dev back in the late 90s by doing "view source", and was still learning about new things that way well over a decade later. If we can move back towards that, by not having a build step, it will be amazing for new devs starting out and learning new things.

Obviously larger apps, with many dependancies, will require all the incredible work thats gone into modern JS tooling, but for so many simpler (and not so simple) sites this process really does make sense.
When the lease expires, the same IP is prioritized for renewal. Leases are generally for a week or two, but I've noticed dynamic IPs staying for 3 months or more. Swapping modems is really the best way to get a new external IP.
Can you give an example? Some try to put too much detail into ER diagrams in my opinion. A Data Dictionary is usually a better place for such details. ERD's should mostly be to illustrate relationships.

One trend/fad was to put words describing links between tables, but I usually didn't find such helpful. Maybe if the wording was done well it would help, but most seem forced in practice. Good naming takes experience. Maybe let newbies draft the phrases, but have someone with experience review it. I.e, mentoring.

How to build an extremely fast analytical database -Part1
This article will explore nine perspectives: precomputation vs. on-the-fly computation, scalability, data streaming, resource utilization, optimization, resilience, architecture vs. details, approximation vs. precision, and performance testing. Through these angles, we will delve into the process of building a lightning-fast analytical database.
Federated services will never become mainstream. This is just the reality that people need to come to accept. I find them heavily talked about in circles with my colleagues and in my profession but the attraction of decentralized services just isn't there for the vast majority of people.

I find Lemmy frustrating to use and it isn't just growing pains: it's the same reason I find Mastodon frustrating. Do I care if username@somecommunity.infosec.somecommunity matters? Do I care if I use lemmy.world or do I have to find some server? Which server?

Centralization works. It's convenient. It doesn't require a user guide. It's approachable for laypersons.

This is just the reality. I wish people would focus on building services that meet peoples needs and not just as an expression of their idealogies.
> Contrary to our expectations and previous work, the majority of sketches and diagrams contained at least some UML elements.

I don't have access to the paper, but I can't shake the feeling that those "some UML elements" were boxes with class names in them or something like that.
EU votes to ban biometric surveillance AI, require disclosure from AI systems
You want computer storage to be flexible, non-redundant, and small. You have a machine capable of quickly and flawlessly integrating data from anywhere, correctness is your main concern.

You want your human representation to be specialized, highly redundant, and as large as needed so anything important is presented. Your users can't find data or keep it in memory, enabling them is your main concern.

Usually, those two sets of constraint lead to the same format on behind the scenes admin panels and nowhere else.
Ya, if you design relationships as a DAG then those sorts of compile time dependencies don't matter. Of course sometimes it can't be avoided (Phoenix router, ecto relationships) the router isn't updated very often and schemas don't have too far a reach (at least they don't if you keep them in their contexts).

I don't avoid import but I generally I strive to import one module where I'm going to be using many functions. I rarely bother with `only` unless it's absolutely necessary due to conflicts otherwise specifying `only` is a good indication I don't even need to import.

This is the way. Unless you are huge, self hosting and even colo is not competitive with long term VM commitments in hyper scalers.

They get big discounts on everything you'd pay retail, and their margins for barebones VM is not that large.
You're actually answering your own question here ;-)

Because a SoC with limited CPU-core resources can't do everything in software, the chip contains many system components (hence System-on-Chip or System-on-a-Chip) that handle things the CPU cores then no longer need to do.

Think protocol handling or memory; instead of spending many clock cycles on handling the USB bus, you can leave that to the USB controller and only deal with what is actually relevant to your USB device. Same with the VOP (Video Output Processor) block, instead of spending many clock cycles on putting the right bits in the frame buffer you tell the VOP that you'd like the background to be orange and then only spend time setting the right bits for black text (for example). So instead of having to deal with many millions of bits, you only have to deal with less than 1% of them because every bit you don't set becomes orange. For other things like I2C, I2S, DMA, networking, cryptography, SD-IO, GPIO, PWM etc. the same applies. Instead of constantly spending time setting the right bit at the right time many times each second, you just tell a dedicated block on the SoC to do a thing in a certain pattern and it will do it for you, consuming on CPU core resources.

This also allows slow CPU cores that wouldn't be able to decode video in real time to offload the entire decoding to a video decoder block, and then tell the GPU part of the SoC that you're drawing a green rectangle somewhere and that's where it has to put the decoded video frames. Why would one do all of this? Because it's cheap and power-efficient, and that's how you make a big pile of money.

I have no idea how accurate or up-to-date this PDF is, but it should at least give you some idea as to what a SoC can do without bogging down the CPU cores: https://dl.radxa.com/rockpis/docs/hw/datasheets/Rockchip%20R... Check chapter 9 for example, all of those boxes are things you don't have to spend CPU cycles on. If you did use the CPU, it would be super slow.
> a 50MW navy reactor has basically no decay heat

Not necessarily: It depends on the power level the reactor was run at, and for what period of time. [0]

> they just didn't internalize how much heat was actually still being produced

It's not apparent that this was actually the case. I found this explanation, which makes sense to me (although I stress I have no particular knowledge of the incident): "... the [TMI] plant crew’s response was guided by wisdom received from another domain [i.e., Navy submarine plants]. ... They were under strict guidelines to never let the pressurizer go solid [which can be catastrophic in a submarine], and yet it was. The internal stress to meet this guideline was so severe, they left the rails and violated another guideline (shutting down the ECCS)." [1]

This actually reinforces my basic point above about the undesirability of putting pressurized-water reactors near civilian population centers: Human error is inevitable, and it's undesirable to have a system where such errors would be catastrophic if compounded — and human error can indeed come in multiples, with each error compounding the effects of earlier ones.

Here's a follow-up piece from the same author, about the effect confirmation bias at TMI and Fukushima (quoting another person): "Every reading that was true and really bad, they thought of as erroneous. Every reading that was erroneous but really good, they relied upon. That’s a trend that I always see in emergency response. Operators want to believe the instruments that lead them to the conclusion they want to get to." [2]

First, there were more big housing projects [1], and more welfare. Those created their own problems - third generation welfare moms, gangs, etc.

Second, more crazies were institutionalized. Santa Clara County used to have "The Great Asylum for the Insane.", opened in 1885. This was a huge complex of buildings in a rural setting. The place was later renamed to Agnews State Mental Hospital, later Agnews Developmental Center.[2] Beginning in 1972 this was gradually shut down. The last patient was kicked out in 1998. The remaining buildings are now owned by Oracle, and you can go look at some of them if you want.

Third, vagrancy used to be be illegal. Cops arrested people for it, and they were sorted out into "too lazy to work", "unable to work", or "crazy". This peaked during the Great Depression, when the Works Progress Administration was created to give unemployed people jobs.[3] At peak, the Federal government employed 3 million people, mostly doing construction work. There was some really nice construction. Rincon Annex, the old post office in San Francisco, is one of the finer local examples.

As the demand for unskilled labor declined, finding some place to send the "too lazy to work" people became difficult.

Fourth, drugs. There are too many burned-out people who aren't coming back.

Indeed, thanks for clarifying that. I actually had the extensions in mind when I wrote my comment, but got somehow distracted by the C interop aspect. Extensions indeed have a more intimate relation with the interpreter and (directly or indirectly) rely on the GIL and its associated semantics.
I can do the same thing via NextJS and output pure HTML and CSS without any JS at all. Or with server components, output only the minimal JS needed. Not sure why everyone wants to write a programming language inside HTML like lit does.

Does Google have any evidence that OpenAI is using their data nefariously? It's only prudent to assume that data you put on the internet will at some point in the future be used to train an AI model. We already know that state level actors are hoovering up civilian data en masse, so this is probably already happening.

I would count as a bicycle racer and crazy mountain biker I guess.

I think the thing is a lot of bicyclists are not really doing things half-assed YOLO style.

Bicycle mechanics are rarely really professionals. There's very little training or education requirement for being one compared to motorcycles or cars.

I have had a lot of cases where so called professional bicycle shops did work that was so bad they'd be in legal trouble if they were working on cars. And I can and do buy most of the same tools they do.

The only thing I really draw the line on is I do not do major wheel repairs or build wheels or disassemble & service hubs. Those jobs are so rare I just can't justify the space or cost for the tools. If I only need something once every 10 years I just can't see dedicating that amount of space & money to it.
He falls into the class of writers who claims to lean left but in the past years has actually been a pretty obvious supporter of the right. This is a transparent yet effective schtick - for some reason people never question the framing of "even so-and-so is willing to call out their own side".

If Reddit automatically added product links to comments like Viglink did in the bad old days, you wouldn't be using it. Reddit's failure to capture affiliate revenue is precisely what prevented it from being gamed, thus making it a credible source of information.
It won't be an arbitrary rule. It will because the mods are inactive which is a well established rule that existed before the current outrage.

There are instances where reddit has given other users control of a sub because the mods were MIA. There is a whole subreddit where people request to be given mod rights for inactive subs - /r/redditrequest.

This was happening well before the boycott.

Social media is one of those bizarre parts of the internet. If one social media site becomes unpopular, literally everyone will just leave and go to another one. Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, all abandoned once something "cooler" came around, and nobody wants to sit around on a platform none of their friends are on.

That said, I could really give a crap if any of these sites goes away. I'm only here for the articles, and these sites aren't generating them, they're just linking them.

And then they get jobs which serve to validate their learning paths (maybe not at FAANG), which gives them confidence about what they learned being the right way to do things.

Well sure, but a lot of non-engineers do that too. Where's the real distinction at?
I think the best way to look at it is that placing a structure on the moon is something that will be initially costly, but cause visitation. When then has the potential to bring down the cost as the process "scales" (transit) and then, slowly, Rome gets built. Not that I don't love SETI, but sometimes there's a bigger picture because of a larger interconnection. If there were a few simple moon projects, it could easily build momentum for more space missions in general. Just like a lot of satellites did, but going to the moon is a different ball game than orbit (even GEO).

On the topic of alternatives:

The current options suck.

A proposal to address the failures of extant options:

Users hold their own data in the account they use for SSO

Every comment post etc is in your own account, with sites putting a request in the page from your SSO host

The front page is defined by your choice of site or SSO provider.

Eg I have a site and users can login with Google or make an account with my SSO provider, when they post a reference pointer is stored and the content is "reported" to the SSO provider by both the client and server with only those items reported by both being "validated" and stored. When site serves page with that content it puts in a js snippet that pulls the content item from the appropriate server.

This means users have full control over their content, sites don't have to host as much content, SSO services have better monetization options (Subs or Sales of Data Analysis) while sites don't lose thiers, etc

Subforums would just be different servers/sites, with your chosen frontend aggregating them all like a new age interactive RSS
