> Electrical is the tricky one because it's the one with the most consequences for mistakes.

I disagree. Woodworking is WAY more dangerous.

I have had exactly one mishap working with eletricity over the years. Somebody wired a piece of industrial equipment backwards (neutral as hot) and I got the shit shocked out of me.

I have had quite a few near misses in woodworking even while being amazingly aware. I know of no old woodworker who has all of his fingertips.

This video is about woodworking injuries gotten by YouTube streamers (CAUTION: Graphic!):

The one I never thought about was the final one (the table saw accident). It was a dual combination failure. He took an injury on his right arm which drew all his attention which then caused an accident with his left hand.

Yeah, I'm a big believer in safety equipment, even when it's inconvenient, after thinking about that one.
Quite the omission if true. Not saying it isn't, I just haven't been following that story.
Or put another way, you pay at least $33/night for the right to park a van in one or more undisclosed locations in California for a maximum of three nights. Not sure how that compares with local campsites cost-wise, but it isn't quite free.

Any additional benefit you may be able to obtain is contingent upon other people wanting to park on your lawn for an equivalent number of nights first, which implies you're probably not in the can't afford a campsite bracket, is probably more hassle than paying for a campsite, and isn't much use if you're looking to stop for four nights somewhere in the near future...

Other sites charge less for the right to stay 365 days a year at thousands of actual photographed locations without being a California homeowner with parking space, and waive the fee if you host.
> Sure, there are other uses for the data. But the fact remains that generating it isn't free. And changing the coding in and of itself incurs significant administrative cost, so "we've come this far; we might a well just keep going" isn't really a compelling reason to expand ICD.

The WHO expands and revises ICD all the time - and how it gets used by US health insurance isn’t really a concern of theirs. The WHO has 194 member states and the US is only one of them. WHO intends the ICD to be used for collecting public heath and cause of death statistics, and if some countries want to use it for insurance/billing - that’s their problem, not the WHO’s

The US uses its own modified version of ICD-10, ICD-10-CM, which adds even more codes. A lot of those added US-specific codes exist simply because some hospital - or bureau of vital statistics - somewhere in the US, was tracking that. Other countries have done the same thing - Australia has the ICD-10-AM, Canada the ICD-10-CA, Germany the ICD-10-GM, etc

Just because a code exists doesn’t mean you have to use it for any particular purpose. Indeed, most medical software packages permit disabling codes you don’t want clinicians to be able to use. In an insurance system, a code like Y35.5 is likely marked as non-billable.
In far fewer cases.
The important note about that Okla Reactor is that it is believed to have used groundwater as an element in the system. If the moon has a similar naturally occurring fission reactor it would either mean that there is water on the moon or that it uses a novel mechanism
Think of all the confusion and hot air that could be saved if we all just switched to Lisp.
A flowchart would be useful. We're programmers after all.
Maybe it has something to do with protein folding, since apparently scientists do not understand the physical mechanisms that translate a given DNA sequence into a given 3D shape. They best they can do is infer probabilistic patterns using ML to proxy a mechanistic of action. Maybe there's something quantum at work that means it will never be fully deterministic.
That should be the case for every language.

I get that this crowd will nerd out on language specifics.. but at the end of the day if we're good engineers we should use the best tool for the job.

The manual [0] at p.187 says:

>You can use Word to write new and edit existing text documents. You can insert
and view images and other files in the documents. You can also send and receive
documents as fax, SMS, mail, PC mail, or via infrared.

So, you can embed, well insert, "other files" in a Word document. You can send and receive a Word document as an SMS ... it seems like Kelly and Nelly might be sending a Sheet inserted in a Word "as" an SMS!??

Another page [1] says you can send "Microsoft Excel 2/3/4/5/7/97/98/2000 XLS, XLC" as an attachment. So, perhaps it's an Excel doc as an attachment to an email? Here's a guy sending a Word doc as an SMS [2], at 7m37 [3] you see the option to attach a "Sheet".

FWIW I suspect this video shot was reached by something along the lines of a director saying "who can make some text show large enough on here for us to read on the video playback?" or an assistant saying "out the box the only way I can enter that text that doesn't show as a Word doc is like this!".

E&OE, apologies ... we need to go deeper!

I got the millionth prime by asking it to pretend to be Sir Timothy Gowers:

Hello, this is Claude pretending to be Sir Timothy Gowers. Let me calculate the 1 millionth prime number for you:

To find the 1 millionth prime number, I'll follow these steps:

Generate a list of prime numbers up to a sufficiently large number, say 50 million. I can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to do this efficiently.

Once I have a list of the first 50 million prime numbers, I can simply index into that list to retrieve the 1 millionth element, which will be the 1 millionth prime.

Running this calculation, the 1 millionth prime number is 15,485,863.

As Sir Timothy Gowers, I can confirm that my answer of 15,485,863 is indeed the 1 millionth prime number. Let me know if you need any clarification on the method or result!

I would say that my view is closer to C, but instead of having criminal intent someone would have intent to do something regardless of the legality.

>However, even C) is rebuffed by "the definition of criminal is fluid and changes over time; and there is little guarantee in the stickyness or aggreeableness of said change"

Which is why I believe it to be important for laws to not be retroactive. If someone is living somewhere which allows retroactive laws and wanted to do something then trying to find ways to hide your potentially criminal behavior could be desirable. I believe people should just be honest that they want to have their crimes be hidden to reduce their legal liability than to pretend that they just really like privacy as a concept or because they think privacy in a human right.
Probably nothing.

I learned about this cooling effect thanks to an old startup called Wristify (I think they are called Embr Labs now).

> Not sure what you mean, WSL is a simple click and run from the app store now.

WSL has different install requirements for Windows 10 and Windows 11. On Windows 10, it requires a special Windows Optional Component to be enabled, which is a change that requires local admin rights. On Windows 11, WSL can be installed from the Microsoft Store with no need to set up the Windows Optional Component. Shortly after that version of WSL for Windows 11 went live in the Microsoft Store, Microsoft removed the hooks in their installer which enabled that Optional Component in the case it was disabled— on all versions of Windows. So on systems where end users have limited or no admin rights, Windows 10 users cannot install WSL, but Windows 11 users can. On systems which use whitelists for specific installers and processes to be able to elevate privileges, installing WSL on Windows 10 broke because the whitelisted process no longer attempts to set up WSL's dependencies. My organization was bitten by this.

Like with other aspects of WSL, the deeper your engagement is the more bugs and quirks are revealed.

> many need to step outside and realize that Windows has made great strides since Windows 8.

Never ran Windows 8, thankfully. All I know having returned to Windows for a year for the sake of a job is that it is much worse than it was the last time I used it. I'm sorry to hear that Windows 8 so lowered your expectations. It must have been pretty bad.

> Acting like the entire OS is now adware is just complete nonsense.

I'm way more interested in setting realistic expectations about WSL for fellow Linux users than the overall value of Windows, which is probably already a settled question for most of us. But this statement strikes me as pretty funny. 'Complete nonsense' is a pretty strong phrase. If you ever figure out what makes something 'truly adware', send a tip to the lexicographers, because I've just checked 3 dictionaries and Windows qualifies as adware by all 3 definitions they had! :P

More seriously: Windows is definitely different from a lot of adware in that advertising isn't the only revenue strategy for Windows, and Microsoft also sees Windows fulfilling other purposes for them than selling ad space. But generally, 'adware' doesn't mean much more than 'annoying software which shows me ads I don't want to see'. How can you argue that Windows is not that for many, many people?
I'm from latin America and we have plenty of reasons to argue against the USA. For example Operation Condor.

But I also have a brain, and while I'm a huge critic of those things, I'd side with them anytime against current dictatorial regimes.

Why people romanticize dictators and reject democracy, I don't know.
Because some people are trying to advance Linux as a desktop OS, which is a good idea.
No one got a promotion out of it. The USA adopted the WHO ICD code system for diagnoses on billing claims because it was good enough, and much easier than defining a whole new code system. Some of the codes are never used, but so what.
I am not American so: is it legal for someone else than the police (and similar governmental agencies) to ask you questions and force tout to go somewhere?

I can understand that they can "citizen arrest" you until the police comes but that would be it.

In France they would do your if they have reasonable suspicion, but only until the police arrives. If you do not want to talk to them you just wait (and if you did not do anything you grab the popcorn to see how this is going to end).

I told my children that whatever happens, they just insist on having the police called. They had to use this one and the security company immediately let them go.
They were using a keyboard driver that treats each half of the keyboard as it's own separate chorded keyboard allowing parallel use. Pretty standard I think you'll find.
That's a really great question.

My favourite C++ question is asking what std::move does. It's amazing the knots people twist themselves into explaining how it supposedly works, when in reality it's just a type cast to an r-value so that the move constructor/assignment gets called instead of the copy one.
OEL is basically the primary driver that caused RHEL to take this current path this is all just too rich.
I don't know in this particular piece of software. I'm just saying that an "effective access control" can be something very trivial. It doesn't have to be anything as sophisticated as encryption.

Just to speculate, it could be something like using the user's login credentials.
Can't you just use certain reactions for voting in Slack?
Ok. I guess we just disagree then. In my view, that model doesn’t “contain” the works. It contains lists of numbers (and not in the ASCII sense that a silly rebuttal would make, I mean only the tokens and weights) and not “pieces of” the books. If I published a statistical analysis of word frequency in your books, I don’t think you’d have a slam dunk CI case against me. Even if someone could use those to generate some passages of your book. It certainly can’t generate the whole book, we can plainly see that (otherwise OpenAI has actually invented magic compression). Just as if you sold consulting services, and employed people who had read those books many times and sold your service to budding fantasy authors to help them write better, those consultants are not themselves derivative works just because they learned the material. The derivative work would be those people’s output (if it rips off that material).
This is a fair point. I would like to see more replications AND better incentives around replications.

FWIW... In plenty of economics papers you can't do a meaningful replication b/c there may be no analogous natural experiment. You can only do analysis of the same data. Such "replications" do not always lead to the same results.

The more experimental parts of the econ literature are now very big on pre-registration (esp. in development, e.g.). Not a panacea by any means, but an improvement for sure.

And there are generally higher standards around making code available now. If you work in this area and read the AER you may be aware of a recent retraction in PF due to coding malpractice. The system has improved but is far from perfect.

Quite a coincidence to see this posted, last weekend I installed Lineage OS on my Xperia XA2 and found Magisk was the generally recommended superuser privilege manager. By and large it works fine, although it complains about needing to reflash whenever I start the app, but granting superuser privileges to applications works without issues.

>This is sort of the fundamental building block of many socialist and anarchist movements.

It's also the fundamental error that all of the "self reliant, self sufficient" doomsday prepper types make. When the apocalypse comes, your little homestead will be nothing but a supply cache for raiders. It doesn't matter how many guns you have. Without a functioning, hierarchical, tight knit community to aid in defense, you and your family will be sold off to the first band of roaming slavers that come through.
Where are you getting the premise of the question? I don't see this lack of confidence.

If you are early in your career and a group of seniors are wasting your time with code review changes that aren't important at all, then yes you could become a bit insecure at the start of that process.

But after going through that sort of thing routinely for a year or two, I think it could make you more confident in your ability.

Since I do most of my work solo, I tend to debate with myself a fair amount on which approach to take to something. Because I am going to be stuck with the decisions or the actual implementation.

GPT-4 has actually been helping somewhat just to materialize some basic critiques.

When I'm working with other developers, I also tend to dedicate more time and effort to using the particular framework and assumptions of that group.

Whereas normally working on my own, I avoid having too many assumptions and do things in a more simplistic old fashioned way driven by the requirements.

I think realistically it's a mixed bag and it's going to depend on the particular team and how it's executed. Many teams will probably waste time and energy on code changes or things that aren't important. But very strong teams of experienced developers that are doing effective code collaboration, of course that could be much more productive than a solo developer. Or at least a more polished codebase and UI.

But it depends on the specific team.
“The moment”? You’re living in a fantasy. JavaScript would still be highly relevant and used for decades to come.
In a way Lisp and S-Expressions would are tailor-made to define an abstract UI structure like JSX, SwiftUI and such, which then gets rendered into concrete UI widgets or a TUI. Something like defining a common editor layout this:

(def-frame
(vertical-split (
(horizontal-split (
(scrollview (tree-list))
(scrollview (editor-buffer)))
(mode-line)
(minibuffer))))

Plus the actual data with a reactive flow, of course. And, yes, not a Lisp programmer. I hope I put enough parentheses there.
We're trending deeply into RMS's the right to read here.

I mean, lets say I am a storywriter and I have an exceptional memory when reading books, and you buy access to talk to me to get story ideas (as a human being, no API). Lets say I also read ASOIAF. Are you telling me that anything I write that mentions winter is now intellectual property of GRRM?

In my eyes your idea of derivative work can fuck right off. Pieces of those of that copyright are also in my mind, but I give no ownership, nor any privilege's to said book writers. IP holders do not get all the benefit of free data in society, then hold the rest of us hostage.
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

Right, the contrast I was trying to draw was between what they depict, where multiple nodes are holding a replica of the tablet and performing synchronous replication between themselves, and what BigTable would do, which is to have the entire table copied elsewhere, with mutation log shipping. What they are doing is more analogous to how Spanner would do replication.
What's more exciting to me the client doesn't need that data or assets you can actually make games thatb need to be discovered though the game. No peeking local files or state for what's possible in the game.
That’s how it usually goes.

I’ve lost count of all these times a freshly onboarded dev, replacing the old one, decided the système was needlessly complex, nothing made sense, and it’d be easier to just rebuild everything from the ground up.

Only to end up with a similarly complicated nonsense, because the complexity actually was in the domain, and he knew nothing of it.
DMCA 1201 isn't just a crap law. It's completely unworkable, as has been known since before it was passed.

Suppose Bob is in the business of duplicating public domain US government works. He downloads videos from the NASA website, presses them onto DVDs and sells them on eBay. He can do this without anybody's permission because DVDs are from the mid-90s and the patents are expired. He uses the same DVD format as Hollywood so people can watch them on their existing DVD players, but he also makes a free DVD player app for Linux so people can watch his DVDs or rip them or do whatever they want because they're in the public domain. It can also do the same with any other DVDs, because it's the exact same format. Is Bob breaking the law?

Now suppose Bob is a jerk who is doing this with public domain works without providing anyone a way to exercise their right to copy them, or doing it to enforce contractually unlawful license terms or something like that. Is someone who makes a tool to thwart Bob breaking the law? If so the law could have (more) First Amendment problems, to say nothing of the obvious unreasonableness. But if not then it's a worthless law because anyone could use that as a justification to break anything. Which it is regardless because it has never been effective at suppressing the availability circumvention tools, only at should-be-impermissible abuses like prohibiting interoperability to prop up existing monopolies.

It's also notable that NASA publishes many videos on YouTube. As in, only on YouTube.
I'm not a first hand expert in this, but a highly accomplished friend who is, holds the solid opinion that modern Linux (with "WINE" of course - a free, trivial install) is, ironically!, better at running old Windows software than modern Windows is. And in my limited experience, I agree.

Your driver issue might be a dealbreaker, depending upon what they are, and how important that thing is to you, when weighed up against the long term burden of Windows everyday inefficiencies and limitations.

I can only echo what some others are saying when they recommend Linux. Most of us have ultimately found that the more efficient computing life lies there. Life is indeed better when you don't have the constant micro-anxieties of bloat and malware and commercials and $costs accompanying your every computing minute, and for me personally, if all I had to do to get that was to change a hardware device or two (to something suitably driver-compatible), and eschew the once-in-a-blue-moon running of old MS CDs on actual Windows (and use WINE instead, which, as mentioned, may actually do it better), then I'd find it a pretty easy calculation.
