Right, you can explain it but that doesn’t make it elegant. This is the equivalent of a function with a comment in it saying “Here be dragons!”.

One very desirable property of a units system is that incompatible quantities have incompatible units. So if I try to add 1 Joule (== 1 kg⋅m^2⋅s^−2) to 1 meter, I’m obviously doing something wrong and I just can’t continue.

But in SI I can take 1 Hertz (==1 s^-1) and add it to 1 radian/second (== 1 s^-1) and SI says sure, that’s 2 s^-1. But it’s not, that’s a totally unphysical thing to do and the answer is nonsense.
...and yet you're cherry picking information from the article, the main point being that global warming was a well known phenomena in the 1950's!

I just don't get it - this is an existential threat, and people are still in denial.
I think it’s not so much a problem with the shape for plenty of men’s shoes (though I don’t love the big toe poking slightly inward) and more that people get shoes that don’t fit very well.
There may be upsides to the ability to fake video and audio of someone (better CGI effects in films, for example). But in my experience when people refer to a deepfake they seem to mean that the fake has been distributed to confuse or deceive, for which I can't really see any probable upsides.

> So basically people and civilization are going to muddle along as they always have.

I agree with this, but consider the drawbacks to rampant disinformation and the proliferation of deepfakes (all this is IMO): it will make any video or audio deniable and unusable as evidence. Real images will be denounced as fakes. Fake images will catch on and possibly cause real damage. People will rapidly lose trust in most sources of news, entrenching established known quantities.

I feel like if we could reasonably put a stop to this we should. I don't think we can in general, though.

K2 is produced by humans from K1.

Humans also produce creatine, choline and taurine, but for these three there is convincing evidence that the internal production is not sufficient, so for vegans it is beneficial to take supplements with them.

It is likely that the internal production of K2 is also insufficient, but I have not seen yet any conclusive research results about this, because it is very difficult to control all confounding factors.

Even if it is not certain that this is needed, it is prudent for vegans to also take vitamin K2 supplements, along with the other substances known to be missing or insufficient in vegetables (vitamins B12, D3 and K2; DHA and EPA; creatine, choline and taurine; iodine, selenium, calcium and sodium).

However for any nutritional supplements the daily intakes must be chosen carefully, because on the labels of many such supplements the recommended daily dosage may be appropriate for someone who prepares for a sports competition or for someone who is treated to recover from a deficiency, while the normal daily intakes may be significantly lower than that.
I do think you’ve identified a significant rift between those that prefer C and those who do not. I think you’re being downvoted for the value judgement you’re injecting, though.

> gets out of your hair and lets you ge on with programming

This is the divergence, I think. For me, the method in which c “gets out of my hair” means that more burden is placed on me, the developer. Which means I have to work more slowly, cautiously, and remember things that a good type system could have been checking for me. And the lack of features means I spend time working around that lack rather than getting real work done.

I suspect these preferences are irreconcilable.
Hmmmm, the article conveniently fails to mention the extremely large helping hand Ferrari received from the ACO's "balance of performance" changes [1].

It was really nice to see so many cars in the top class, with multiple different teams leading at different points, but it all just feels a bit hollow/manufactured to me. I guess it depends on why you like motorsport; is it the engineering achievement or the pilot skill that matters more?

This is a huge instrument; the cost of refurbishing it and installing it would easily be $2M+, so the fact that it's free is sort of beside the point!
As a non-developer who has only gone as far as "hello world" in Go, I'm baffled by the idea that the log/slog thing is new - that seems like an absolutely basic language feature. TBH I'd say the same about min/max, but could forgive those being absent since Go isn't known for being numerically-focused...
Thank you for all of this information! I also do van RVing and use a combination of carriers/connections. I did a fair amount of reading on Multipath TCP as it was new to me. What I've found seems to be fairly opaque and it doesn't seem to be highly implemented. Some notes/questions:

* Every device and endpoint that it's used on needs to support it. My PCs, mobile devices, router, etc. all need to have it enabled and configured. This makes me question if every other layer 4 router in-between you and the endpoint also need to support it.
* Endpoints that you're connecting to need to support it. It doesn't seem to be widely deployed. https://mptcp.io/
* OpenWRT's implementation doesn't seem well supported and the kernel that's needed for it is really old.
* In your Zoom example, they'd need to support it server side (I don't see anything public stating that they do, but a packet capture would verify.) Also, a lot of that sort of real time traffic is UDP or QUIC (I don't know if Zoom is.)
Doesn't Google cloud have 10s of thousands of employees? Isn't that too big to sell?
Yup there's another example of what I think of as the "hedge fund" approach. Sweetwater started as a neighborhood music store, now its owned by a hedge fund, guys who may not even like music. Bob Moog and Roger Linn loved music and it showed in their product. But just like these other examples this isn't the end of the Moog sound, especially since they also now own all the moog software synthesis products you can expect moog to land into the akai mpc line.

> Why is that better though?

Some people think so. Hence some where meant for C.

> History shows that this isn't true though, not in all cases

Not in all cases? I had no idea it was possible to write bad code in C, I must immediately switch to language where all code is always perfect no matter what the programmer does.

History does show that most of the largest, longest running, most depended on open source projects like Linux, Apache, Git, MySQL, CPyton, OpenSSL, Gcc, Curl are written in C, so its hard to argue that the language isn't maintainable.

My perspective as an American with school teachers in my family: Being a teacher is a coveted job in America, it offers a lot of flexibility and fulfillment. Salaries are low because there's a surplus of young people who want to teach. Getting a teaching position at a nice school is very competitive, but bad schools always need new teachers because the unruly kids chase new teachers away (the root cause of schools being bad is usually bad parenting.) It is common for newly minted teachers to take jobs at bad schools in the hopes of getting enough experience to later get a job at a good school, but most wash out before they get that far. Others try to get in "the back way" by working as substitute teachers for many years to accumulate experience and get a good teaching job; the poor and irregular pay for substitute teachers makes this possibly an even worse strategy, but a lot of people still try it because these jobs are desired.
they lost PR battle, everything else you said is up to discussion.
Bayer Sees More GMO Adoption as War in Ukraine Stokes Global Food Insecurity
Maybe that’s a case of the wrong design? The index tables shouldn’t need global locks. It gets a little hairy if you need to be able to reallocate or move them (I.e grow them) but that happens at most a small number of times and there are ways of only taking the lock if that’s happening.

I’ve implemented this pattern without locks or CAS in C++, and it works just fine.

I’m currently using this pattern in rust (although with fixed size) and it works really well. The best part is it bypasses the borrow checker since an index isn’t a reference. So no compile time lifetimes to worry about. It’s awesome for linked lists, which are otherwise painful in rust. Also it can sometimes allow a linked list with array like cache performance, since the underlying layout is an array.

With all due respect, I think you may be underestimating the amount of training that you would need. My sister has perfect pitch, but only really honed her skill at it after ~5 years of music theory/ear training classes. That was about when I learned to identify intervals by ear.

Singers also get "real pitch," I think, and in general, when you know the sound of an instrument's registers really well, it can be a hack for professionals to turn their relative pitch into "perfect pitch."

Also, FWIW most professional musicians I know can't tell whether their A is sharp or flat by a few cents (eg the difference between 440 and 442), but they can tell interval size immediately. The interval sizing tends to determine "out of tune" rather than the frequency of the A.
This was before Facebook and CIA.
Are they actually hearing the pitch difference, or are they hearing beat frequencies between simultaneous notes? You can hear beat frequencies even in monophonic music if the reverb is heavy enough.

This is a dumb take.

No, you cannot “buy” people’s personal data (name, phone #, address, email, etc) from Google.

Yes, sale of a business unit usually includes the customer contracts, leads and historical data of that business unit. No, there isn’t anything nefarious about that, and every other business you transacted with does the same thing.

Yeah sure there is a cottage industry trying to use google’s data to augment other data sources, but that’s not “Google selling my personal data”.
I think it’s a generational thing for sure. I guess when I say suburbia I mean something kind of in between culdesac master-planned communities (which are easier to play in) and an actual urban environment. There are too many roads with too many cars, and it’s not the 70s anymore, so proportionately fewer houses have kids at all, and if they do they’re not likely to be your school mates. Plus, stranger danger came and changed everything. I’m not saying no teenagers run around outside anymore but among middle class teens it’s a lot less common than it was - life is more like being shuttled to an fro extracurriculars or friends’ places by your parents’ car.
Most people who “create content” don’t know much and just do the minimum to get something out. This scales from tiktok to YouTube to popular nonfiction… honestly even a lot of academic research.

It’s not about people being wrong. There’s a problem at every level with how willing people are to publish before they’ve done enough to be sure that their information is good.

Being wrong should be celebrated. Publishing for the rewards of publishing instead of the quality of the work is rightly shamed.

I tried again in a 'blank' profile, and it worked there.

On the failing one, I see some HTTP/3 400 results from "earth-pa.clients6.google.com" before it goes into an infinite-spinner state. On the working profile, those requests succeed. Turned off uBlock and such, still no dice. Maybe some weird thing relating to having a logged-in gmail account on that profile? No idea, really.

But clearly not OS/driver related, since it works in the other profile.
> I'm sure the sales team is large

who are they selling to? And why so many people?

EDIT: sorry, I read another response, they are selling to ad companies. Does that really demand hunderds, over 1000 people, though? At some point I feel they are costing more than what the next increment can bring in.

I understand your point but even if there was only 100 engineers (which would not be enough) I can't imagine what the other 1900 administrative people are doing. It's an internet forum, and unlike Twitter and other social media (where I assume they simply have hundreds of mods) they successfully outsourced moderation to volunteers.

Is it all just legal suits? The customers are the users and admins are horrible at responding to user requests (be it users or mods), so it doesn't feel lik customer service is using those resources.

The gif at the top was very interesting. The shrinking of the North America and Russia were really surprising to me, as I had always looked at them as much more significant land masses.

A little off-topic from projections, but I just returned from a trip to Seoul a few days ago, and I found a simplified subway map to be so much easier to use than Google Maps' more realistic-but-less-relevant map. Subway map design has always intrigued me in that it ignores so much in terms of position and proportion, but at the same time can relay the needed information so much more clearly.

I'm flattered that I sound like a recent college graduate :) I've been a Unix systems administrator for more than a quarter of a century.

Wild generalization: Red Hat is mostly bullshit. Their support is good at handling the myriad quirks and bull they've intentionally added to their OS to differentiate their product, but they're not so good at things beyond that, in my experience. I'm generalizing, of course, but in too many instances Red Hat has been unique in having issues that other common OSes don't. In many environments I've set up proper servers with other OSes for comparison so I'd know when something is a Red Hat-ism.

If you're somehow authoritative because you've worked for a major movie studio with petabytes of storage, then I suppose I'm authoritative, too. I have and still work for major movie studios and I handle petabytes of storage, too :) Perhaps we know each other.

Red Hat couldn't get their OS to see all the zones of a StorNext, while at the very same moment identical hardware next to that Red Hat system running SuSE worked fine. Drives were swapped between the systems, and the problem followed Red Hat. It was a clean install. Red Hat support told us they couldn't do anything and said it was a StorNext problem. We contacted StorNext, and they were even willing to work with Red Hat. Red Hat required us to have a three way phone call to include the StorNext people and wouldn't answer their emails. I had to create email accounts for the StorNext people. It was extremely unprofessional and nothing moved on this until the company threatened to cancel Red Hat support entirely.

Unfortunately, my other experiences were more reminiscent of dealing with AT&T than dealing with an organization that wants to make things work.
Red Hat's model is to only ship what they know they can support. For the rest there's EPEL which is community managed.

Canonical's model is to ship the kitchen sink and wing it in case a customer wants support on something that is in a sorry state.

Different customers, different requirements.
I know we're talking about kids here, but as an adult, I'm not a video learner. I need written material (with good examples, usually) to really learn something. I need to read to understand and then apply and be able to check what I'm doing against a crop of known good implementations.

The trend in learning, like Frontend Masters, while amazing for what it is, its all video, and I'm finding people are putting out more and more video to teach topics, and less and less written works to teach stuff, and I'm getting more and more frustrated at this, as it takes me longer to digest videos than written materials.

I don't know how anyone learns to become a developer from just watching videos and doing exercises, my pace would be that of a snail.

And yes, I get that everyone learns differently, but us who learn best from reading are being left out in the cold.
How do they compare to the alternatives?

- bare feet everywhere

They will absolutely cut you a patch to use on your systems. Upstreaming does take time, yes, but that doesn't mean the person experiencing the problem has to wait to get their issue resolved.
That seems insane to me. I'm always chattering away up there, I can't imagine it otherwise.
Huh, I'm glad to see generic Min/Max functions, but the fact that they're built-ins is a little odd to me. I would have expected them to put a generic math library into the stdlib instead. The fact the stdlib math package only works with float64s has always struck me as a poorly thought out decision.
Almost no one lives in the south so they are never swapped.
"This" would be how many places are harmed by "teaching to the tests."

For example, you are asserting that "there are many public school teachers that report that they are spending a lot of time.." but... where is this tabulated? Are there biases mitigated in the self reporting side of what you are talking about?

I don't want to be dismissive of the idea that it is harmful. I have seen very little compelling evidence that it is as harmful as it is asserted. Both as a student and as a parent. Is akin to employees that are upset about long term compromises for short term gain. Yes, it happens. All too often, short term survival is the best thing for long term survival. (With the ack that it is until it isn't.)

Which is why I would love to see data and studies on this. Indeed, if "teaching to the test" is the concern, how do I then interpret declining test scores? Failing to teach either to the test or the subject?

If you don't let your children learn from their mistakes, or be exposed to things you don't like, as children it's just going to happen with more severe consequences as adults.

It also adds another pain point to the job of being a teacher, which is just gonna drive more people away and harm education in that way.
