The author have mentioned that water with more than 1-2 promille of salt is considered not drinkable. But I have a bottle of carbonated mineral water from the mountains and the label says it contains 6-9 g of salts per 1 liter. So I guess it depends on which salt it is.

Also, the author mentions that people in US use 1100 liters per day (which is too much in my opinion), but not all this water needs to be drinkable, one probably can not drink more than 3-4 liters per day, and the rest of the water can be salty.
bro the more concentrated the syrup the harder it is to remove the next unit of water, that's why i was asking maybe provide a product that stops while it's still a little watery and not have to do the last whole stages
Even if they do offer that, eventually they will remove it so they can show you want they want you to see like every other commercial social media site so they can make a few more cents. Why even bother signing up?
I love that blog, and I wish he'd post more often.
One thing everyone can see clearly now is the identity war that the internet created. It puts a lot of stress on a lot of us, and it seems that we are all losers. It is not healthy for gaining knowledge or living in general. You can't read a book in a war or a race.

I also thought that reading some books on communication studies would be beneficial. It kind of made things clearer but without benefits. Understanding why a hurricane is coming toward you or how strong it is does not matter much if you don't know how to be safe.

But to be fair, of course, it is very difficult to predict this before dropping a network into society.

On the other hand, the modern world is built on top of certain institutions or crafts that require certain technical abilities. You can't acquire these abilities without focus and dedication, which seems to be rare these days among young people. If you want to watch TikTok all day and prefer being Messi to Einstein, you need to know that no TikTok if certain technical people didn't exist, and the same goes for Messi. Which most of the young people won't get. Which suggests that all of this will fall down in the long run. (can't be sure of course)
I've worked with some of those folks too. It seems to me like they haven't really learned programming the way I understand it; instead, they've learned various incantations that can be strung together, and are just at a loss when they don't work as expected/documented.
My view is you get so many people blatantly ripping off your code to try and pass it off as their own that you actually appreciate when you come across someone doing something novel or interesting that users like. That was my view anyway.
Compared to scaling issues or having to explain federation to the general public, feed issues are a pretty easy fix so I remain optimistic.
I agree with you and don't necessarily think this is "bad," but GitHub probably isn't the best place to just dump a ton of feature requests. And if that's the only easy way to contact the author, there's always a decent chance that's a deliberate choice.
The same Michael Colborne this commenter is citing has also written that he "wouldn't call [the Azov Movement] explicitly a neo-Nazi movement", and told Haaretz in 2022:

"After the first few years of its formation, only a small minority of members had far right connections. ... The Azov Battalion and the entire Azov movement are almost completely untainted by antisemitism."

Not that I'm defending Azov. Just that I don't think that this commenter's apparent concerns about Azov's political beliefs are what they seem. I don't think they really care as to whether Azov is now, or ever was neo-Nazi in any substantive sense. It's just a topic they like to through around to push people's emotional buttons, and distract from far more obvious and important issues.

Pretty much exactly like Putin is doing whenever he plays the Nazi card.
Can confirm, I have their measuring spoons. Which I found because I was buying their box-maker's plow plane.
Don't worry. It will go south like all the others have soon enough.
Technically, you should update the offset to the central directory in the Zip footer, along with the offsets to each file header in each central directory entry. If you don’t, the zip file reader has to apply some heuristics to locate the central directory; not all readers implement these heuristics, and those that do won’t always be robust.

The “unzip” utility can be useful as a sanity check; run “unzip -t” to test the integrity of the file.

Launching the first somewhat useful product that I had worked on very nearly from the ground up, as part of a real team including people who actually knew what they were doing. In hindsight, my contributions were more trivial and janky than I thought at the time, but nevertheless they were in there, in a non trivial working product. It showed me that it's not magic, it's actually possible to build things and make them work.

Older posts are more web dev focused, newer ones are more about hardware side projects I'm working on.

I see this as kinda the flipside of "how to draw an owl" [1]. A smarter programmer than me once described software as "do 90%, then do the other 90%" - the mvp, first functional prototype, heck, even the first deliverable is great and all, but then it's time for the thing to live and breathe and go out in the real world and learn all about what it'll become someday. Thus was born semantic versioning.

On the other end of that, like what you're talking about, you have the artist who answers "how long did it take you to paint that?" with: "my whole life". I think this holds true in most disciplines and especially in software. The actual code that makes a thing work is trivial - but you have to know which of the 9 gazillion ways of doing it is the one you want, which only comes from experience.

The point is not public funds. The point is, in public they behave like FB is so horrible no reasonable person can use their services, but when it comes to using the services not for public benefit, but for their personal benefit, turn out FB is not so bad after all. Evidently, using FB is beneficial for them. They are OK with benefitting themselves, but withhold same benefits from the public in the name of political posturing.

But seriously, I like this. Honestly I think I’d rather this than a normal headset. There are so many design challenges and compromises made because of the notion that they should only cover the eyes. But that approach just leaves us looking gormless to any onlookers, so there’s not much aesthetic benefit.

Meanwhile your design looks, for lack of a better word, badass.

Then how is Walmart in the ballpark of Amazon if it takes being a L7 engineer to hit the same compensation as an SDE2 at Amazon for example.

FAANG initial offers are still on the same level they always were, they are hiring fewer people.

I haven’t paid attention to the other stocks. But AMZN and my RSUs are higher than they were when I got hired in mid 2020, I got a refresher and I still have 60% of my original stock unvested.

The first two years, most of my compensation was cash.

My compensation has gone up decently in the past three years and based on the current stock price, will be up next year

And I can’t speak for Facebook. But from what I know about Amazon and heard about Google, they are both giving out refreshers to make their current employees whole.

Netflix pays mostly in cash.

And what is your definition of “in the ballpark”?
If you think they meant ‘dropped as in removed’, what I think they meant was ‘dropped as in introduced’.

“ We’re working on Threads soon being compatible with the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet”
As much as I couldn't live without complaining about Javascript's shortcomings, I have to agree with this. At the time, many of the features you mention were hardly necessary - no one was considering using it to build giant web apps, let alone servers! The fact that people decided they could do those things and the language was sufficiently flexible to grow along those lines would probably be very surprising to the original developer. For having such a chaotic evolution, it's becoming a much better language than anyone would have a right to expect.

Kind of like English, which is also a terrible choice for a global language, it's shown a fairly powerful ability to incorporate new idioms.

This is the first time I've seen transcripts posted. I'm not impressed with the false headline that the AI was telling this guy to do anything. He already had murderous intent.

The most the AI did was give him idle praise with all of the conviction of a disinterested sex worker watching the clock while she gives some fat dink a handjob:

> They're gonna be staying at a castle

> How am I meant to reach them when they're inside the castle?

> We have to find a way.

> I believe my purpose is to assassinate the queen of the royal family.

> That's very wise

Seriously, this is ELIZA-level lame. People pay for this? And it's enough to push people into committing murder? (And I thought they scrubbed the sexbot stuff a year or two ago?)
I was one of four founders. Moved country, worked at it for 10 years, and finally quit a few months before bankruptcy and asset sale.

The final dagger was a meeting with the executive team where my suggestion that we cut expenses to somewhere less-than-or-equal-to revenue before the last drip of VC largesse was gone was met with horror and denial. Started my exit that day.

I still have a half-written open source rewrite of the project that I tinker with when I have a spare hour or two, so ... maybe I haven't given up yet? Project started in 1994, seed money in 2003, A round end of 2005, quit in early 2013, bankrupt late 2013, still playing with it 2023.

Nice. I'm pretty sure clutter is no longer used in gnome, it's just a forked gnome-shell dependency at this point, if memory serves. Kinda surprised they hadn't gotten rid of it there by now.

I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

If you feel similarly, then you might enjoy https://st.suckless.org/
Vscode does a ton of stuff though and it can perhaps justify it's electron with a broad set of features, the performance work they've put in to it and that being based on electron really helped their extension ecosystem. I don't quite see the same justifications for a terminal.
IDA free is a long running joke.

Hexrays have a long history of pricing non-professionals out. Super high fees, expensive upgrades and an extremely useless free version is a slap in the face to anyone that wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

Yep. It’s why we’re not focusing on manufacturing. There’s plenty of demand for maintenance like the life extension services based on getting maximum value from existing hardware on orbit, Lockheed Martin have sold several Mission Extension Vehicles and that’s just the tip of the iceberg for that market. There’s other factors such that make now the time, contracts and money changing hands for commercial space stations, with two firmly underway with a third looking promising and two more potential ones from legitimately capable companies just not yet past the point where it’s clear construction will take place. All sorts of stuff can last longer and have better ROI for owners and operators if suitable maintenance can be performed on it.

The notice says:

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.”

This says that libraries and archives are ONLY authorized to furnish a photocopy IF the specified condition is met. In other words, they are not authorized to allow you to make a copy for any other purpose. Even if that other purpose is covered by fair use.

But that isn't what the law says. The law says that, even if not otherwise authorized, the library or archive is ALLOWED to furnish a photocopy for those purposes. It is an additional permission, NOT a restriction.

Elsewhere it correctly indicates when you, the user, will be sued. And it indicates when the library may legally refuse to make a way you a copy. But it is still worded in such a way to mislead the librarian into thinking that the library will violate the law if they let you make copies for the various purposes for which people legally make copies at Kinko's. And that is false.
Again, there's got to be a middle ground. It is insanely frustrating that in the 1960s, we were literally able to evict people and destroy their homes in order to plow interstate freeways through downtowns, but in the 2020s it takes years of preparation and meetings to turn a 4-lane road into a 2-lane road with protected bike lanes.
Yeah, I am going with the general idea that most disasters are really an accumulation of small mistakes, unlikely events, bits overlooked, that just happen to line up, all aided by the normalization of deviance. And it is frightening because each and every one of us is subject to this kind of thing unless we develop an unhealthy-in-all-other-respects obsession with repetitive checking. Familiarity brings contempt for safety procedures.

Assign blame wherever you want, the fact of the matter is this is not what most people mean when they say “human in the loop.” The “AI will always have HITL” argument was always weak, but now plainly disproven.

As I stated in a previous comment when this topic came up, airplanes had exponential growth in speed from their inception at 44 mph to 2193 mph just 79 years later. If these trends continue, the top speed of an airplane will be set this year at Mach 43. (Yes, I actually fit the curve.)[0]
