Parent was not saying that Kevin Mitnick made himself better with sheer will, rather that he was enabled by his personality and wealth to obtain experimental and/or risky treatments that turned out to improve his condition.
Wow, this is actually very good description of program flow. There are only few small mistakes. For example:

> navigate through the history (when input starts with a digit)

Should be more like: navigate to link from currently displayed page (when input starts with a digit).

> It prints the response to `stdout` and also stores it in the temporary file.

Response is not printed to `stdout` at all. It is only stored in temporary file.

Also the possibility to use first program argument to overwrite the `less` command was ignored.

But overall very good job.
Playstation exclusive/Sony published (single player) AAAs are a pretty safe bet. I can't think of any that have bad faith paid content - just mini expansion/story dlc type stuff.

Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Horizon are all recent-ish ones that I really liked.

Anything From Software puts out is great too - Elden Ring being the most recent example.

Just avoid anything published by Activision, Ubisoft and EA. (Although you'd be missing out on some titles that are still pretty good amongst the microtransactiony stuff)
I also see a lot of contradictory arguments: AI is not impressive while at the same time dangerous and should be stopped.
I wonder how hard it would be to write a prompt that would get gpt 4 to translate back and forth to Mini?
No, ice grows now, so during summer in the north. Or winter in the south, same thing.

As the article describes most Windows terminal emulators just call SetWindowText when they get the set window title escape code. For some reason Windows implements that function very inefficiently so if it ends up being called in a tight loop your computer can freeze.
we seem to be talking about cooperative multitasking here

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that even with an almost standard abi it's five instructions and 27 cortex-m3 clock cycles; here we reserve r10 for the current task pointer (with the bonus that you can use it for a tls base register) and round-robin among the tasks in a circularly linked list:

yield: push {r4-r9, r11, lr} @ save all callee-saved regs except r10
str sp, [r10], #4 @ save stack pointer in current task
ldr r10, [r10] @ load pointer to next task
ldr sp, [r10] @ switch to next task's stack
pop {r4-r9, r11, pc} @ return into yielded context there

i think in gcc that's more or less -mpic-register=r10 -msingle-pic-base, though that isn't what those options are meant for

if you're willing and able to deform the abi a little by having less callee-saved registers, something you might want to do anyway for efficiency, you can cut r4-r9 down to r4-r5 and shave that down to i think 19 clocks? if you're willing to eliminate callee-saved registers entirely you can get to 15, but that seems like a heavy price to pay

if you have to use the standard abi it's i think 37 clocks on a cortex-m3 or better:

yield: push {r4-r12, lr}
ldr r9, =current_task_pointer
ldr r10, [r9]
str sp, [r10], #4
ldr r10, [r10]
str r10, [r9]
ldr sp, [r10]
pop {r4-r12, pc}

i feel like something in the range of 20-40 clocks is really not that expensive? i mean an ldr or str is 3 or 4 clocks if it's not accessing tcm, right? and on cortex-m0 every taken branch is 3 clocks because you don't have branch prediction?

i mean it's not going to compete with barrel processors on context switch time, but if it's really the cost of accessing seven fields of structs on the heap, it hardly seems like it's "a hell of a lot more expensive" than even zero

if we're talking about preemptive context switching, that's a different ball of wax; you have to save all the registers that you use at all, not just callee-saved registers, and depending on your application maybe vfp registers as well as integer registers

I disagree rather strongly with the conclusion (it even seems generous to use this term) of this article and especially the tone (snob seems accurate). To me, it’s insufferable to read and I only got through it because I had hope for a redemption arc.

That said, the response to your comment was about the content of the argument against their position being simply that they are a snob, not that snob is an inappropriate term. Instead, describe the behavior which makes the author seem to be a snob so people can get a clearer picture.

From my point of view, this author is beating their chest the same as the author they denigrate in their post. The article is simply espousing a preference for this style without providing any arguments for its righteousness. The author laments that “speaketh” is no longer used, but why should I care? I dunno, they don’t explain. “Alice speaks” seems to work just as well as “Alice speaketh”.
This is exactly what markdown achieves: comprehensible even when it is not rendered. Yet the author completely ignores that feature.
This is something I have often thought about - the quantity of Japanese words that are similar to Portuguese and Greek. It really bothers me.

> The more prestigious schools have more budget to hire better professors

The prestigious schools are interested in hiring the best researchers. They don't much care how good they are as teachers.

Some are great, many are terrible teachers. And you don't get to see them much since all appointments are with TA kids anyway.

At the unknown schools the professors are there to teach and do little or no meaningful research so the are judged based on teaching ability, not grant-pulling fame. So they are on average much better teachers.

If you want an academic career, you need to hook with advisors who are famous in the field to get your early papers connected to their fame. But if you just want to learn and go into industry, you're better off with good teacher professors at the no-name school.

I did both, having a degree from a school you've never heard of (but is very good) and a degree from a top-1 (or top-3 depending on your biases) university. At the top university I had an advisor who was well-known in our field, which was fun. But I didn't go into research or academics so that advisor connection didn't do anything for my career. And he was so busy with grant and research work I only got to talk to him once a month.

In terms of learning I learned more from the unknown-name school where the professors were dedicated to teaching and were happy to chat about projects every day.
I'm a recent vertical tabs convert (in particular, tab trees). After just a week, it's very hard to live without it—especially at work, where I have a bajillion tabs open at any time, and I don't feel comfortable installing extensions that can read my bookmarks!
You absolutely can. You can also use Square’s excellent Wire library.
I use Tree Style Tab extension in combination with Simple Tab Groups extension. Allows having multiple side panel tab trees I can switch between.
It's good to know I'm not the only one. Whenever I've had an occasion recently where I thought an LLM might be useful (either I didn't know the framework or I didn't quite understand the subject matter) and asked ChatGPT or Bard, they always just hallucinated crap that didn't work and couldn't be made to work. Just yesterday Bard hallucinated a method that was called `something_that_exists_somethingIAskedAbout()`, switching to camel case halfway through, that obviously didn't exist. For the same problem, ChatGPT came up with an existing method, but modified its parameter list to make it do things it didn't do.

I struggle to think of a single instance where it's been helpful for me, and I keep trying, because I don't enjoy doing useless grunt work any more than the next guy, and I want to at least try to learn to ask it the "right" questions.

I thought this was a good article, despite the fact that I think the title is unfortunate (lots of comments here arguing over what a "developing country" means, but I think it's fair to just use the definition that is used and discussed in the article, i.e. a country that just has to use existing technologies more efficiently in order to increase economic growth, not necessarily invent something new).

The thing that is most interesting to me, and also because I think it's a warning to the US, is the impact of housing costs. GDP per capita at PPP is 39% more in the US than the UK, yet UK housing prices are nearly twice (!) as much as the US on a per-square-foot basis. And I thought US housing prices were nuts!

There is a good book, "Who Owns Britain", that points out that just 6000 landowners (mainly the Dukes, Earls and Barons a la Downton Abbey, but also large institutions and the Crown) own over half the land in Britain. That gross concentration of land wealth is basically strangling their economic dynamism.

I'm curious, how can people in the UK with "normal" jobs ever afford home ownership? I mean, say I'm a senior software engineer with say 8 years experience - based on UK average salaries and housing prices I don't see how I'd ever afford a flat in a decent sized city if I wasn't already wealthy.
Disclaimer, I'm not a pilot so it's very possible I'm wrong. But I think you might want to ask your friend to clarify this as I'm having a hard time understanding.

That said I think there's some terminology mix up. The path of the aircraft is taking when making a landing (the slope the poster is talking about) is called the glidepath. It's got nothing to do with the engines or the aircraft type.

The stepping down might be the pattern used as the plane is being maneuvered to line up with the runway but AFAIK those are just to setup for landing rather then being a part of the actually landing itself once the controller clears the pilot land.

The whole thing is an incoherent mess. Is there even an argument here?

> With a nearly photographic memory and a reading speed of 1,000 pages per hour (at his peak), Harold Bloom was the single most impressive literary critic of the late twentieth century.

16 pages per minute? Quarter of a page per second, like 5-6 sentences per second? The only thing you can "read" at this speed is perhaps low-end newspapers where you essentially skim through paragraphs.

Moreover the view of "reading" expressed in this article is quite unsophisticated. Higher-level reading is not about consumption at all, it is a creative process. The book is merely a trigger and guide to one's own
thoughts. It is an input to think in a different way, to see the world
with new eyes, and to transform one's life. To really understand what
higher-order reading means, one can study the biographies of Newton. The
man really knew what are books good for and how to use them. His is the
finest example of scholarship aided thinking.

Another insightful view into the process of "reading" comes from Alan Kay [1].

Love reading this, it's a story about how a back of house team got to have an impact on the business in a more immediate way than they usually get to. Data teams have a longer time horizon for when they succeed or fail than the glamorous lives of backend - let alone frontend! - engineering teams, which makes it harder to recognize the wins in the moment.

To any Yelp data engineers who might happen to read - good work, and it's a good testament to the platform you provide.
Yes, applets were already interactive and programmable.

But they sort of ran "in a box", like Flash. So you have this particular rectangle in the page, inside of it something runs and works and does its thing... but outside of it, the rest of the page knows nothing of that.

What JavaScript was supposed to bring into the mix was that you might have a Java applet doing some "heavy-lift" stuff and then, you'd use the results of that to operate on other elements in the page. Like maybe you'd update a form, or some data in the HTML, or whatever. Also, obviously, the other way around. You might have some HTML controls that would then feed user data into the applet.

Yes, you could do everything inside the applet, but this offered an additional option.
Assuming LLM improve productivity why do you think the market will shrink instead of getting even more stuff done? Say if some actually smart LLM could improve my team productivity with 25% then

1 we could fire a person

2 we could handle 25% more tasks, features and bugs

So I think 2 will happen.

My latest example of LLM issues,|
I asked ChatGPT and competition to convert a line of jQuery into native JS, they all got it wrong because jQuery has some selectors like ":header" that is native to JS but the LLM used it anyway though somewhere in it's big memory it has the information that his is not native and if you prompt it right it will fix the issue. So seems to me the LLM are focusing too much on the prompt and failing to use it's full memory on the problem, so it can fix small individual micro tasks but is a complete waste of time for something a bit more advanced ,
my conclusion you can't have a manager or an artist armed with ChatGPT and create a full project without actually learning to code, at best they will learn to code from the LLM but the hard way and probably using outdated code and inefficient ways.
No worries. Was just wondering, as other dev's I know that run Teams on macOS (intel and arm64) say it's a pretty shitty experience.

In my personal, anecdotal experience...

Once you get far enough in ANY sport, you start considering tradeoffs between risking long term health and improving performance. If you are a competent adult, you can evaluate your drivers, consider risks.

But without fail, in ANY competitive sport, you realise that you have to risk health in order to achieve that next performance tier, there is no other way.

Once you get into that 1-10%(depending on sport) elite level, you realise that there is no way you can compete without PEDs.

I've participated in (taken myself) and have been a witness to this in weightlifting(olympic and strongman), soccer, cycling and swimming. Starting young. Real young.

Coaches of different sanity levels are trusted to make the right choices and not often questioned by busy or absent parents.

Everyone cheers on when medals are won and records are broken, without consideration for how it happens.

I personally had no idea I was taking hormone modifiers until about 16, it started at 11.

My coach just gave me what he said were vitamins and I never questioned it, he was the closest thing to a father I had, his authority was absolute.

At 16 I found myself in a hospital yellow as a banana on the brink of liver failure, that's when I found out.

Everyone on our team took what the coaches gave. Once a while we'd see a parent get into a shouting match with one of the coaches about something we didn't understand and that kid would never come back again.

Some of the guys I trained with went on to become highly recognisable names in their respective sports. One even has a supplement brand. Those I've kept in touch with continue PED use, that is the price of being at the top of the game.
Maybe that’s why china bans Facebook, limits TikTok usage to 1h per day, and video games to 1 hour per day on weekends and public holidays only.

Sidebery does let you group tabs. Select a few from the sidebar, right click, group, give the group a name, and optionally, collapse so it doesn't take space.

I don't fully understand this incident report.

A blocked pipe alone doesn't cause it to burst. It has to be combined with something that causes the pressure to increase, like perhaps a breakdown product that produces gasses?
I agree, this is a common narrative, that does a disservice for people that actually are consumed by the disease in the expected timeframe as if they weren't willing to fight it with sheer will.

I knew a guy who was diagnosed with stomach cancer at 27 years old. Never had a health problem in his life, he didn't even know how insurance worked yet. It was late stage and he was given 6 months to live. He was recently engaged before that and they moved their wedding up to 3 months away in order to have it before he passed. But he was gone from us just 6 weeks after the original diagnosis. He fought like hell to survive. He had every reason to. He was diligent with everything the doctors told him and he was gone within weeks despite being given months.

Cancer is horrible and it is unpredictable by its very nature. Cancer is literally at its definition a collection of unpredictable mutated cells. Thats why it is so hard for doctors to estimate or predict. It is unpredictable. Sometimes the unpredictability works in your favor and sometimes it works against you. But cancer cells do not listen to willpower, despite the common narrative. The reality is it is good and bad luck that often determines your fate.

As a secondary anecdote. I have a friend who's mom had skin cancer, a small patch the size of a dime on her hip. Skin cancer is generally incredibly survivable and low risk (in the world of cancers). She had it removed as a simple procedure and thought she was fine. 3 months later she started having periods of confusion or getting lost doing simple things like going to the store for milk, she would end up gone for the hours and hours forgetting why she even left the house and ending up on the other side of town. It turns out it spread to her brain and she died just 10 days after that first episode. Cancer is brutal.
