This would be good enough, and allow for progressive enhancement, except that path MTU detection is somewhere between fragile and broken on the internet.

So maybe you run 9000 packets on internal interfaces, and 1500 externally, or more often, that's too hard and 1500 is it.

There are 9000 internet exchanges, so maybe there is hope, but I haven't seen any progress reports.
Yeah, I vaguely recall some usage like that by the same crowd that also thinks an "anchor" is specifically a fragment link that brings you to a certain element on the same page, when in reality the word applies to all <a> tags. Sort of a casual understanding of HTML among non-devs.
That’s what I have in mind. Currently, customers are subject to obscure internal rules of banks.

Given a governmental approach, this would be subject to the Fifth Amendment and other laws.

Also, there’s always the freedom to not choose this system and stay with private banks.

So I guess this it would be a net positive.

There's not really checks and balances when all three branches are in cahoots for the benefit of party over people, primarily won through electoral shenanigans and political games. We literally have a system that continously overrules the will of the majority with a small group of electoral elites, justified using some byzantine algorithm of electoral boundaries. That isn't a democracy, it's a farce.

I don't really care about affirmative action much one way or the other. I care about the lack of representation in my so called democracy, and the Supremes are a huge part of that problem.

I think he might be talking about "Racism in US college admission has been banned" which sounds like a good thing. Do you argue that Asian and Indian students should be rejected because of their race in favor of less qualified black or Hispanic students? I would love to hear your case for why that is ok.
I don't think it's died off, rather it's found in more independent blogs/newsletters at this point. On one hand, the information is generally free and more accessible to a wider global audience, but maybe that exposure is biased towards scientists that are themselves strong writers. Whereas in a world where high-quality science writers are funded, the researcher doesn't have to master this skill to have their work effectively popularized.
I disagree with the GP that staying informed about nutrition can be done with books. There is very little generally accepted science when it comes to nutrition. I try to use the "test of time" approach. If we haven't figured out that something was bad after at least 500 years, then it probably isn't that bad. If we've been eating a food for less than 500 years, then it should be considered suspect.
This. “I got mine so no one else needs it”. And sorry GP but you absolutely got into MIT partly because of your ethnicity - along with your grades of course. I benefited from that as well and it was fairly clear.

Haha, truer words have rarely been spoken.

@OP: No book, podcast or anything else can teach you how to take care of your kid(s). By all means, read and listen to things but just dont tink of it as anything other than inspiration. Noone has the perfect solution, and perhaps not even the right solution for your kids.

Yeah, the idea is that it's much more expensive than current OpenAI pricing but much less expensive than what even a low-end marketing copy writer would charge per word. Its side effect would be to push such tools towards more valuable uses.

The idea is to keep it simple, so it wouldn't be based upon the specifics of training, just whether or not it used public data. Anything else would require companies to divulge trade secrets and that won't fly. And words are defined here as, well, words -- English words. There'd be a separate fee per pixel/voxel, and then a catchall for non-language/non-image models.
When a neoconservative spends his life petitioning courts for this exact result instead of petitioning anyone in congress... it feels like dirty legislating. Part of it is because our congress is dreadfully inept.
There's no such thing as a device that only "saves you money" - insurers are going to use the data to give you a discount one minute, and take it away the next. My insurance already shows a line item for a "safe driver discount" - I'm sure it's only a matter of time until I have to fork over my data to "keep" the "discount" they've already built into their list price.

Thanks you’re right. I was thinking about the license changes Elastic made to stop cloud providers from redistributing their products as a managed service.
I had a situation a few years ago driving down a highway at night when all of a sudden I noticed a weird "thing" in the sky in front of me. It got closer and I swerved, but not enough to avoid it hitting the side of my car, taking off the side mirror and gouging up the front half of the drivers' side. Then I realized it was the plastic bed liner of the pickup truck in front of me that became unattached at highway speeds and flew into the air like a kite. My car was still operable, and I had a (poor quality, especially at night, but operable) dash cam, and the truck ahead of me didn't stop, so I sped closer to close the distance to the truck and for assurance, read out the license plate number aloud so the dash cam's microphone could pick it up before pulling over.

Contacted the police, took them about an hour to respond, and the officer gave me his email so I could send him the video. It was hard to make out but you could definitely see the object leave the truck, and a few seconds later appearing in my view, and me swerving.

Contacted insurance, they arranged the repairs, and I was out the deductible. About a week later I got a call from the police saying they looked up the plate and lo and behold, it wasn't even registered to a white pickup truck, but a blue sedan, so the plate was either stolen or swapped from another vehicle, at which point there really was no recourse.

Long story short, even if you have a dash cam, sometimes you're SOL. I _did_ use that as an excuse to upgrade my dash cam to one with better quality and night vision, but yeah, shit happens, and if nobody got hurt sometimes you gotta just accept it.

Research != scientific samples in a freezer. 25 years of research were not ruined just by ruining some samples that can be recreated. The claim in the article:

No, the research was not destroyed.
If affirmative action is what enabled your father to become a doctor, then it almost certainly sounds like the success story that motivates the action. I don’t know percent of the time a similar story is required to justify the means, but it sounds like you should embrace the path that your family’s life has taken. The alternative, presumably, would be effectively unfair knowing what could and then did become.
A human is both capable of reciting things from memory in an infringing manner, and learning from experiences to create something new.

My experience with Garmin with regards to sleep tracking is unfortunately not much better. It does measure the time I'm in bed, but if it takes me a while to fall asleep, or keep laying in bed after waking up, it will count that as sleep.
I've even had a few times where it didn't notice that I woke up at night, went to the bathroom and then back bed. It would just count that as sleeping.

Since it can't even see the difference between being awake and sleeping, I absolutely don't trust anything it says about the amount of time I spend in each sleep phase.

I see multiple ways of interpreting what you said:

1. SCOTUS considers corporations 'natural persons' in their decisions

2. SCOTUS considers 'corporate personhood' to encompass too many rights, you believe should be exclusive for 'natural persons'

3. Possible misunderstanding around the term 'corporate personhood'

Could you clarify a bit? I've seen a lot of (3.) on discussions around this, while claiming essentially (1.) happens or (2.) is what peopel try to complain about.

> The key thing with prototypes is that you have to mercilessly rip that code out before people start extending it and relying on it otherwise it's going to stick around.

A way to avoid this is to start with a clearly defined data model between components, and then _within the context of each of those_ hit the gas towards an MVP, flesh that out, refactor, etc etc etc.

Not always a possibility, I'll grant, but a ton of headache can be saved by being religious about API-ifying those services which can be made into APIs. Stable I/O, chaotic move-fast-break-stuff for internals.
I'm still using my Apple Watch Series 5. I started with that series because that was when the Apple watch actually became a watch (you can see the clock dial stays on). The battery is the only reason I might upgrade next. It is the simplest one that works with the ecosystem I'm in. Of course, I can walk out if need be.

Besides the clock (retro analog dial with the numbers), and the date, the only Complication on the first watch face is the Timer. The Timer is the most productive tool that I have found. It is way easier to quickly set the timer for everything than use my brain for remembering the short-term events - such as making tea just before a meeting, boiling eggs, allowance time to people coming late to meetings, grocery aisle walks, and many other things.

I also have a second Watch Face used only when traveling outside of the country, a travel specific data and 2-3 complications.

I don't do phone calls (except a few allowed numbers), no notifications except a few, such as calendar and health app.

So, it is the simplest yet good Smartwatch for me. Sometimes, the battery dies - so, be it - the intermittent charging in between hand-washes, baths, washroom breaks, early morning, and during the wind-down routines are good enough to go round the clock.
My point was simply that the wait times in any medical system can be shortened by increasing prices. The fundamental problem of insufficient capacity remains; the burden is just shifted onto a smaller set of people.

Judicial review has upheld the constitutionality of affirmative action policies for 40+ years, what changed is the composition of the Supreme Court and its related willingness to legislate from the bench -- abandoning stare decisis and judicial restraint.

We saw this with Roe last year.
The legislation in question (the Civil Rights Act) prohibits all racial discrimination and it was only previous (in my opinion, misguided) Supreme Court decisions that allowed affirmative action as an exception to that in the first place.
FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE BULLSHIT
Big F# fan here, but i don't really "doing fairly well" is a fair assessment of the F# ecosystem right now.

> microsoft is far from abandoning

Might has well. When you look at the resources actually being deployed for F#, it's clear that MSFT either don't care or don't really have plan for F#. Most of the work is done by the community. The number of actual paid/full time MSFT dev on F# is very limited.
The tooling is extremely limited, there is no official F# libraries for pretty much any MSFT and azure services (have to relie on C# libs.)
In leetcode where the have C# (so already have the infra to run .net stuff, and language like elixir and racket (so they do have more niche language), they still don't have F#.

The salvation for F# would come from finding a killer app, something akin to pytorch/numbpy or rails.

While I agree with the spirit of this, I'll point out that tobacco was brought to Europe over 500 years ago, and only recently discovered to be one of the most unhealthy products available. Not to mention that it was widely used in the Americas for long before that.

In fact, 450 years after Columbian contact, the medical consensus was that tobacco was good for health.
Looks like a hyperbolic flaw in reasoning. The "Hard Problem", as described, seems more to define consciousness as something which does not arise exclusively from (known) physical properties of the system.
In what reality would the phenomenom of consciousness be defined without any underlying physical property? Seems that study would aptly be called "metaphysics".

The problem for me is that the shortest path often has nothing to do with the "best" path. Committing to it means you're never actually going to get it working right.

Stables became gas stations. Nintendo used to be a toymaker.

Businesses change and adapt. Workers too — but people often don’t like change, so many choose to stay behind. Should we cater to them?

I used to do a lot of work which is now mostly automated. Things like sysadmin work, spinning up instances and configuring them manually, maintaining them. I reconverted and learned terraform, aws etc when it became popular.

Should I have gotten help from the government to instead stick to old style sysadmin work?

>> Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.

The decision continues with:

"But, despite the dissent’s assertion to the contrary, universities may not simply establish through application essays or other means the regime we hold unlawful today. (A dissenting opinion is generally not the best source of legal advice on how to comply with the majority opinion.) "[W]hat cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly. The Constitution deals with substance, not shadows," and the prohibition against racial discrimination is "levelled at the thing, not the name.""

They are warning the universities to not play games with them.
Once you become super senior you actually realize what the author said here is not completely correct. This guy has experience, but he hasn't reached nirvana.

There is a singular high level design pattern/abstraction that you can use in actuality to start off your projects.

There is no name for this pattern but it is essentially this:

Segregate io and mutations away from pure functions. Write your code in modular components such that all your logic is in pure functions and all your io and mutations are in other modules.

Why does this style of organization work? Because delineation and organization of every form of application you can think of benefits from breaking out your program organization along this pattern.

Your pure functions will be the most modular, reusable, and testable. You will rarely need to rearchitect logic in pure functions... Instead typically you write new modules and rearrange core functions and recompose them in different ways with newly added pure functions to get from A to B.

The errors and organizational mistakes will happen at the io layer. Those functions likely need to be replaced/overhauled. It's inevitable. Exactly like the author says this section of your program is the most experimental because you are exploring a new technological space.

But the thing is you segregated this away from all your pure logic. So then you're good. You can modify this section of your project and it remains entirely separate from your pure logic.

This pattern has several side effects. One side effect is it automatically makes your code highly unit testable. All pure functions are easily unit tested.

The second side effect is that it maximizes the modularity of your program. This sort of programming nirvana where you search for the right abstraction such that all your code reaches maximum reusability and refractors simply involve moving around and recomposing core logic modules is reached with pure functions as your core abstraction primitive.

You're not going to find this pattern listed in a blog post or anything like that. It's not well known. A software engineer gains this knowledge through experience and luck. You have to stumble on this pattern in order to know it. Senior engineers as a result can spend years following the hack first philosophy in the blog post without ever knowing about a heavy abstraction that can be reused in every single context.

If you don't believe me. Try it. Try some project that segregates logic away from IO. You will indeed find that most of your edits and reorganization of the logic happens with things that touch io. Your pure logic remains untouched and can even be reused in completely different projects as well!
You don't need to read a book. I think you can get away with three steps:

1) This maxim from Michael Pollan: "Eat food [1]. Mostly plants. Not too much." (I personally follow an adjusted version of this: "Eat food. Only plants. Not too much.")

2) Review daily nutrient requirements to ensure your diet is providing you with adequate macro (protein, carbs, fat) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals).

3) A few months after adopting your new diet, get a high quality blood test that covers markers like iron, B12, etc., and make any required adjustments to what you're eating.

1: "Real food doesn’t have a long ingredient list, isn’t advertised on TV, and it doesn’t contain stuff like maltodextrin or sodium tripolyphosphate. Real food is things that your great-grandmother (or someone’s great-grandmother) would recognize." https://michaelpollan.com/reviews/how-to-eat/
Contrary to, I don't know, tze selection of a stack, the selection of the correct material for a given application is an integral part of engineering. Finding means to get away with the wrong material is not an engineering challenge, it is simply bad engineering. Not even that at the extreme ends of the spectrum.
Yes. But people do use (or more like, misuse) Python for different things such as large systems. In cases like that, others still scream about "pythonicity" and "idiomaticness" just for the sake of language policing, even if those guidelines make zero sense.

I had the misfortune of using Python for.... larger systems than it was intended for, and the code reviewer basically screamed at me for daring to use staticmethods instead of free-floating functions. Even though it was an internal implementation detail and it was exactly the point that the function itself shouldn't be discoverable if you import the file. But convention and being pythonic trumps everything...

So yes, I think that people who criticise others for not writing "idiomatic" code just want to nitpick most of the time.
Going forward I will just inspect the source of their articles to see if it has a canonical URL to that domain and if so I will skip it.
