I would not extrapolate from a single case. Language makes some minor tweaks, etc. someone gets unlucky and keeps hitting issues in their own codebase and their dependencies, so get rightfully pissed.

Even in allegedly super-stable and backward compatible languages, in a large enough codebase you'll keep hitting issues when you change deps/compiler versions. If I could get $1 every time a C++ package refuses to compile due to some weird compilation issue...
To any linguists reading: is there value in learning sentence diagramming? AFAIU, standard K-12 curriculums long ago ejected sentence diagramming, at least the comprehensive form. I'm old enough to remember sentence diagramming in school, but from K-6 I attended about 10 different schools. (Not a military family, just poor and constantly moving around.) Despite somehow becoming a proficient and relatively advanced reader at an early age, English was always my poorest subject, and of all the concepts and skills taught in English class, sentence diagramming was memorable for being the most opaque; just utterly impenetrable, presumably because I was never in a class long enough to either receive sufficient instruction or be forced to fully engage with it.

Anyhow, I ask because it's something I could revisit along my kids (5 and 8), who otherwise wouldn't learn diagramming in school. (Oddly, early math education now seems to incorporate diagramming.) I'm curious whether there is any significant value in it. For example, can it be helpful when learning other languages? Or might it prove a hindrance? (Both kids take French and Mandarin classes.) Can it help improve analytical reasoning skills, or is it better to just stick with more targeted materials and approaches? I assume sentence diagramming was dropped in favor of more breadth and depth in other subjects areas, and maybe also because it was a drag on English grammar proficiency metrics.
When you are blocked by non technical issues, it should be the manager's job to help you clear the roadblocks. If the manager is not doing his job, it's probably time to switch teams or jobs. Tbf haven't seen anything like this yet. There are tons minorities working in tech(myself included)

> It's a common fallacy that increasing the dose necessarily increases the effects.

Can you provide an example of a chemical which has effects on the human body that are completely unrelated to the size of the dose? Just because the effects of a carcinogen may be non-linear in relation to the dosage, that doesn't mean that a greater risk of cancer incidents with a greater dose is an unreasonable expectation. Some thing can be assumed unless an exception is identified.
If opposing "dictators and warmongers" is so important, why were European NATO members so unprepared for the 2022 war? Poland, the Baltics, and other ex-Warsaw Pact countries by and large did their best to wean themselves off the Russian oil and gas teat they fed from during the Cold War, even while Germany and other far wealthier countries did their best to suckle ever more from the same teat. Since energy is fungible, the far higher prices they are now having to pay affect them and the rest of the world, even those like the US and UK that never relied on Russian energy themselves, but at least Poland and the Baltics tried their best.

It's also entirely possible that greater European investment in defense might have dissuaded Russia from the February invasion. Or, at the least, be able to contribute now more than the relatively paltry sums and supplies they have so far sent. Again, the ex-Communist countries by and large both met the 2% GDP spending guideline that their far wealthier NATO fellow members have mostly ignored, and are sending as much gear as they can without endangering their own defense. Sweden and Finland's militaries were and are far better prepared than the average NATO member despite (or, perhaps, because of) not being part of the alliance.

Consider two moments five years ago:

1) Trump and NATO secretary-general and former Norwegian PM Jens Stoltenberg argue on camera (video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpwkdmwui3k>, article <https://pbs.org/newshour/politics/at-nato-trump-says-germany...>) about dependence on Russia. Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to be completely, totally, 100% wrong?

2) Trump at the UN warns that Germany is endangering itself by increasing dependence on Russia. German envoys laugh <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfJv9QYrlwgepe>, including foreign minister Heiko Maas. Who was right, Trump or the Germans?

Both incidents got much coverage in the US and European press, with the usual bien-pensants describing them as yet another example of Trumpian foolishness versus the sensible Europeans. Had the sensible Europeans listened to the Trumpian foolishness even five years ago, Europe would now be secure against Russian threats. Germany (and thus Europe) would not have faced an existential threat to its economy and industry from 1000-2500% rises in gas bills. This is the greatest bungling by German and Europeans in 75 years and, again, it is 100% self-inflicted.

(This is now where the same bien-pensants' sycophants now pull out the "Even a broken clock is right twice a day"/"Trump said everything about anything so was bound to get something right"/"Trump also said uncomplimentary things about NATO so should have been arrested as a traitor" canards. And yes, I've seen all three responses, almost word for word, when I point to the above videos.)

From this American's perspective, if the only accepted definition of "opposition to dictators and warmongers" is, as I said, an America that does all the heavy lifting in European defense while Europeans sit back and criticize, don't be surprised if America isn't so quick the next time to oppose dictators and warmongers on Europe's doorstep.
> Fleet Telemetry is a server reference implementation. The service handles device connectivity, receives, and stores transmitted data. Once configured, devices establish a websocket connection to push configurable telemetry records. Fleet Telemetry provides clients with ack, error, or rate limit responses.

I assume this means that Tesla devices can be configured to speak the client end of this protocol, and that fleet operators might enable it. If so, that’s kind of neat.

Of course, it would be nice if Tesla telemetry non-fleet vehicles worked the same way and could be turned off.

I think spreadsheet is a slightly better analogy than calculator. The latter has well defined capabilities and essentially 100% accuracy within those bounds. A spreadsheet with a minor typo in one field can produce drastically incorrect results that appear fine to the untrained eye.

I've been using Racket for about 8 years now, and it is now my goto language for anything that needs a gui. It took writing 3 or 4 not-so-little guis to feel comfortable working with Racket's object system, but now it basically goes at the speed of thought.

Lately I've been using Racket to prototype the interaction design for a game, and I had written some placeholder text. I had put fake interpolation in for {player-name} and things like that, and then I realized that #lang at-exp would let me just ... do that, as described in the original article.

I had to laugh, because I maintain a bunch of Python code, and if Python has batteries included, Racket comes with a retrofittable fusion battery pack.

One other little anecdote, is that I've been porting an old plt-scheme codebase to Racket CS. In the second phase I have started replacing an ancient C++ rendering layer with the racket gui canvas functionality. During the process I moved hundreds of runtime type checks in the C/C++ layer to the Racket contract system. It was as if the Racket team had somehow secretly obtained access to the codebase I was working on and had designed the perfect abstractions to solve the problem.
TBH, using this as a fancy smart autocomplete doesn't seem like the best idea. I can't believe that I'm suggesting something that sounds like Clippy... but...

It really needs to be something where you can rattle off a list of requirements and have it build the code for you. The code context is necessary, but not sufficient.
Rarely much later than than after 7, usually between 14:00 and 17:00 in the afternoon. In a rather bizarre twist, maybe slightly less than half the time _before_ 14:30. Never before 09:45

Being a dad is wonderful. Congratulations. My fatherhood (parent of four) has changed me in profound ways. The world glows brighter when we have a child with whom to share it.

I’m delighted that you’re searching for information about being the best dad possible. My advice, which has been supported by personal experience and research, is that the relationship with the mother matters. Marry the mother and stay married. More than any other variable, more than any other technique or quality of being a dad, a stable marriage (stable, enduring relationship) is the best quality we can give to our child. It is strong predictor of a child’s success and happiness. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/cohabiting-parents-differ...

> she just has an incentive to say _something_

Bear in mind that some people just like to stir up shit. So they say stuff based on no evidence / their imagination / whatever they suspect will cause controversy.

No idea of the situation in this case, but don't discount it could be that too.
Why should that be banned when it benefits consumers?
The ironic thing is that standardized tests are the most objective metric we have. Things like extracurriculars reflect more on the parents and community than the kids.

By and large, it's true. But Reuters still does some decent investigative journalism, imo.
It's incredible seeing the late CEO talking so much about how this and other super deep subs were built by amateurs as the reason he could conceivably safely build the Titan. Completely ignoring testing like this or that the Chinese sub was built by a government design bureau. They were projects headed by excited amateurs for sure but they were going to exceptionally traditional engineers to implement their ideas.
LLMs are the machine-translation services created specifically for that purpose[0], it just turned out they're very good at many other things!

Your analogy would be like saying why use a computer to multiply numbers if you can calculate them using calculator, which is much cheaper. Sure, but if you already have a computer, no need to use a dedicated calculator as wel.

Even the original title seems questionable until properly substantiated, so I've reverted to it plus tacked on a question mark.
> So yeah that’s basically what they did.

You think you need to work hard to get a high SAT score?
You have it backwards. Thats the way they justify what they already had planned. That didn’t drive this, that’s the post-decision excuse. “We consulted with stakeholders and press decided they really wanted that money”
I don't see how we can call this nationalistic politics. I'm sure if a (hypothetical) Canadian big-tech impacted news organizations similarly, they would also have been a target of this law.

Many of the biggest tech have origins in US and any country trying to make a law regulating businesses and technology within its borders is bound to impact American companies one way or the other. We can take the easy route and call it just nationalism or we can try to understand the intention/reasons behind the law. We may not agree with their laws but it is their right.

When they said uncapped financial liability, I took that to also mean any meta user's post or search engine result that displayed the content could expose them financially - If I were a malicious actor, I would flood meta with posts from bots, and the equivalent to google results like posting too much of the article in the website's header.

> Keep in mind that the layoffs earlier this year have still had a huge impact on the job market for software engineers.

People keep saying this like it's a fact but I've not seen anything in the employment data to suggest this is remotely the case. Tech unemployment is startlingly low, and even during some of the massive layoff months, tech was still adding jobs faster than it was shedding them. Last I checked, tech unemployment was at 1.5-2%, much lower than the national average (USA at least).

This is cool, I've been thinking about building an application that polls the reverse engineered Tesla API, but an officially supported solution sounds much better. Is there any documentation about how users authorize applications?

Seems like this allows vehicles to connect directly to your own server instead of having a Tesla server act as intermediary. Will it be free to use then? I guess Tesla is still footing the bill for cellular bandwidth used, so it probably won't be free.
> Think about security or trust and safety or anti-scam or anti-fraud.

It doesn't matter what context I think about it in. It isn't going to work! And it will make things worse for everyone involved.

Hypothetically let's say we get to a point where everyone believes the detection is 100% accurate. Well that's all that means: everyone believes it. Meanwhile AI has just gotten better, and we're all more fooled than we were before. All we are really accomplishing is enhancing the training necessary for AI to elude detection.

And there will be an inherent bias toward false positives, because high detection rate will be the selling point. The truth is secondary, and there's no way to verify the results.
GNOME is closer only in look, it isn't in feel, and certainly isn't in development experience.
Accepted, the Tutsi/Hutu division isn't one where difference in genetics/appearance seems to be a major factor, though I'd still assume the average Tutsi or Hutu could easily distinguish one from the other in a way outsiders mightn't be able to.
> that would save copy/pasting repeated variable names into tests, logs, etc

This is all it takes for me to get value out of my subscription. It's saving me time by anticipating my next test / block of code based on what I've previously written, and that saved time really adds up.

Sure it's not "Jesus take the wheel" level AI yet, but time is money, and so is my sanity.

Have you dealt with the FAA before? It’s been a decade long battle to change certification standards for GA aircraft that contain multiple redundant solid state instruments over mechanically driven gyros. Maybe in 100 years.
Downloads are working and very useful on mobile - they give you offline version on a device that you can later watch.

I click download on videos that I'm interested in morning and have something to listen to during commute without worrying about spotty connections and mobile traffic consumptions. So yes, file is downloaded to the device.

If I want to download something to have it forever, I use yt-dlp on pc.
People naturally mix. They work together, worship together, and marry each other, unless this natural mixing is opposed by external forces.
Right. That doesn't seem to line up super well with the galactic disc. Even those diagrams look like they've had an awful lot of smoothing.
Fair enough. Although to encode a proposition as a type, only to then view it as a proposition again, would be two wrappers too many for my taste. I prefer to keep the notions of truth and types apart. In practice, this makes the logic both simpler and more expressive.
> This doesn't make sense. Newspapers want links to their stories.

Newspapers want monetization. There are three ways linking to stories equal monetization:

* Newspapers get enough ad money through these link. This mostly doesn't work.

* Newspapers cut their costs and deliver shitty clickbait.

* Newspapers get funded by "philantropy". This ranges from newspapers independently funded by trust funds to newspapers being bought by magnates.

Overall, we can see that linking is far from enough for most newspapers to publish independent, quality work.

> To receive a link is to benefit, everyone knows this except the government.

This appears to no longer be true. Groups benefiting from internet are mostly eyeball brokers, not content distributors.
> the ~99% of people who don't have that privilege

What percentage of accepted students have that privilege? It's pretty high.

Maybe it's worth adding that in this way of thinking (intrinsic geometry of the surface), great-circle paths have exactly the property the GP brought up about straight lines: neighboring paths aren't shorter on one side and longer on the other. (If you think of them as 3-d paths then there's a shorter path below vs. longer above, but that's not part of the intrinsic geometry.)

the harmless discussions were boring filler for the interesting ones. but we lost them all.

The discussion GPL vs the corps. The corps wanted to use linux for free and make money. they won when linus gave up and added "tainted" message. now everyone just skin the reference implementation and ship a vulnerable modem or iot and we like that.

Google and samsung ships billions of android devices *with no source code for most of the system* and we think that is fine and that android is open source and that linux is healthy when all it does is host a bunch of binary blobs for every piece of the hardware.

then we had discussions on hosted GPL vs the corps. Where the corps won again when we all gave up and came up with the agpl compromise. aws business model is "bigger Cpanel, with more OSS software we get for free". They sold RH business model to everyone who thought RHEL was too expensive, by charging even more. genius.
That may be your experience, but for the right kind of app (e.g. simpler apps) I can confirm from experience that apart from setting up the Android app manifest, Qt apps don't need modifications to port, especially if you design convergence in from the get-go.
That's because it was wired with a single inverter for the whole string. So it can only generate power based on the weakest panel.

Instead you can use micro-inverters by each panel. Or optimizer's which are dc-dc converters and basically do the same thing.

This is very common when you have a chimney, and the shadow from it moves around.

I think installations where it's all on a single inverter are not very common - a cloud moving in the sky will mess with the entire array, it's just not a very good way to design it.
Yeah, I am mistaken but you do have to give away source to your product because of the viral nature of the LPGL. So it's not completely free to do what you want. And I've always been suspicious of the dynamic linking loophole.
Will Ukraine benefit from the Wagner mutiny?
Well, it's a duopoly. Which, since it is not literally a monopoly, often gets a pass.
