The alternative for users is Kagi, which is superior to Google for search results.

For businesses, there is no good alternative to Google. Many are investing a lot of effort and money in social media, but the returns are very low compared to Google.
Its presence is not a mandate. It is not a decorative syntactical element, but affects compiler code generation the same way as rust has _synchronous_ generators.

A developer is still free to spawn a thousand foot-guns, and I daresay the assumption would be that they made that choice knowing how to properly juggle them.
I made websites.

For physical products, there was a point when I had setup a ecommerce site and sold shell necklaces that I imported.

These days I am focused on creating microcourses.
I don't think I've seriously (at least knowingly) touched a Blizzard game since they nerfed shadow priests in World of Warcraft back in 2007 with the series of post-Burning Crusade patches.

It was such a stupid feeling to have tried to develop any sense of mastery or enjoyment in the game as it had been designed, and then have a series of z-version update all but unravel it. Now that's normalized as "the meta", but it's the same now as it was then — a hamster-wheel of an obstacle that doesn't accomplish "balance" so much as it separates casual players who give up or get out while they still can from the suckers who keep paying to chase eternally moving goalposts of mastery.
Question: Would my new kangaroo enhanced legs disqualify me from the Tour de France?
I'm surprised there's such little hardware (just a small PCB) in the Nest. Appreciate that source tweet puts "jailbreak" in quotes, it's a board replacement in the shell of Google Nest peripherals.

Are there other smart assistants that we can now get for cheap, that have usable and rootable hardware on them to run custom LLMs?
Agreed, but I also have some sympathy for their position. Encouraging others to make clones had a different feel in the early days of reprap, when the industry was growing very rapidly and the extremely cheap cloners hadn't come on line yet.

A Stock Fund That Can’t Go Down
Yes, but I also cited another one, which takes the more general approach of estimating excess deaths per year associated with cold vs. heat. That article comes up with a factor of about 10 (4.6 million excess deaths per year due to cold vs. 0.5 million due to heat).

Note that this article also discusses other factors, such as seasonal changes in death rates due to diseases--but it, unlike the one you referenced, correctly observes that temperature is a factor in such deaths. The fact that flu season is worst in winter is because temperatures are colder than optimal in winter. So the increased flu death rate in winter should at least partly be counted as an increased death rate due to cold. The excess deaths methodology takes these kinds of things into account.
This is the standard justification sales and MBA types use.

They are missing that it takes grit to get through a lot of tough degree programs as well. People in those degree programs constantly talk about those who move over to easier degrees in business as lacking grit.

Sports is mostly used as an in-club in the workplace. If you work in an engineering first company it's crazy to see the dichotomy from how sales values past athletic accomplishments versus how R&D does.

It is also beyond bizarre how often high school and college athletic success is not correlated with health & fitness once high school/college is finished.
Despite claiming to have been one, you don't seem to understand what an introvert is. I'm a functional adult. I have a wife and kids, friends, and a good job. I can speak in public if needed, although I'd prefer not to. I don't have trouble meeting new people, talking to them, and getting to know them. I'm not shy, but I am an introvert.

Being in crowds of people I'm expected to interact with on a personal level drains my energy. Baseball games, concerts, and the like? No problem! Crowds of strangers don't bother me a bit. But if there's a hell, my corner of it looks like a cocktail party where I'm expected to mingle with everyone and never get a moment to myself.

Being an introvert is nothing I was raised to be. My mom's one. My dad was a natural salesman: put him in a room with 50 strangers, and 10 minutes later he was on a first name basis with them all and had plans to vacation together. They both raised me, and they both stressed the importance of good social graces. The difference is that after my dad's social butterfly antics, he was happy and fully of energy, while my mom was ready to go home and recharge for a while. I'm definitely my mom's kid on that one.

I have stuff to do. There are things I want in life. I'm doing all that successfully. But when I'm done doing them, I just want a little time to myself to exhale and relax, OK?
Thanks for the illuminating explanation.

Sounds like I can blame whoever translated to English in a 1581 text of Aristotle’s Prior Analytics, the wrong usage of “beg”.

At the same time, I intend to use the phrase correctly in the future!

> People are terrified of parsers and parsing

And rightfully so. People who aren't afraid of them generally fail to understand all of the ways in which parsing can show fractal complexity, and will mostly stick to toy examples like this INI parser to justify their positions.

If you're gonna argue that parsing is simple, the bare minimum I'd want to see implemented is a context-sensitive grammar with unbounded lookaheads (or at the very least, that is capable of handling more than one token of lookahead), with proper support for Unicode, and actual error resilience (not what this article calls error resilience)

If you manage to do all that and can still call what you did "simple" without having completely deluded yourself, congratulations, I hope to be on your level some day.

PS1: I won't even go into the plethora of security issues originating from crappy parsers, especially those written in C

PS2: Let's also leave aside any matters related to correctness and validation of parsers, which are notoriously not by any means "simple".

PS3: Or generating decent errors for that matter.
In such a case, I won't feel better yet will I? So we'll try again...
I can sort of see their point. A program should be clear enough logically so commenting would almost be redundant.

However, there are different ways of doing things within the same language- so when someone comes in later with the task of changing the code to do something else, it can be a real son of a bitch to reverse-engineer even simple scripts. So as a courtesy to other professionals in a high-pressure environment, letting others know the rationale right there in the code is a simple and very useful courtesy to your fellow humans.
Nature is really good at giving you a spec with examples and guidelines you need to adhere to.

Although I try to avoid them I do feel bothersome that a large chunk of the market is taken up by games that are made with the goal of getting you to pay instead of being fun. Broken incentives.
It's similar to manual control over the current stack. You pause execution, you dump your current stack onto the heap, and restore it later. Control over concurrency, similar to out of order execution. I'm describing it conceptually but I assume the implementation can be/was smarter/faster.

I don't think closures have anything to do with it.

There was also some debate about how cancelation of an awaitable function built with those primitives would work. I don't think there was a great answer for that yet.

What changed was my relationship with myself, and society, after coming to some hard realizations about my childhood and decades of trauma.

I’ve seen similar changes in others, and I watch as (mostly) extroverted boys have their social extroversion absolutely crushed by weight of social and gender expectations. I watch it happen with my son and his friends and it hurts. Luckily gen z is savvy and a lot of them are countering this.

This seems to drive people to choose being alone over the risk and complexity of dealing with social stuff, to the point where people find or create habits that just reinforce alienation.

If I had to guess, a good percentage of people who are “introverts” have had a lot of early trauma and so avoid engaging with people out of anxiety.

Amid crippling housing crisis, CA continues 'prohousing' policy drive
While I would truly be thrilled to see that, I don't think any big companies are capable of doing this. Not because of technical ability, but because of perceived antitrust concerns. Many products are more useful to users when they are tightly integrated, but companies won't do it if it will draw the ire of regulators.
Last year, on the 19th of July, temperature in Belgium was 38 C / 100 F. Today (and for the next few days apparently) it's 22 C / 71 F.

So during this 2023 summer heatwave, Belgium seems to have 16 C less than during last year's heatwave. In that way it improved a bit.

I'm in neighboring Luxembourg and weather is kinda chilly for mid July (it's still okay: jeans and a t-shirt, but it's not crazy warm).

I do wonder if it's all the warm air trapped south (south of france / italy / spain / etc.) by the slow jet stream that's keeping Belgium/Luxemburg/Netherlands chill (at least chill for a mid July) atm?
It seems like they didn't expect hardcore players to figure out the best builds so quickly and disseminate that information so widely.

When I learned of the 'damage buckets' design, I was somewhat disappointed in that the diversity of viable builds was maximally minimized as the majority of affixes (stat bonus types) were essentially useless.

They seem to be correcting exactly that in this build, so one wonders whether this change will be for the better in the sense of supporting diverse playstyles, however they also decreased defensive bonuses with no counter-balance from what I can see, so many people are expecting much longer grinds, which most suspect is the actual goal of this patch.
Fair, 12.3. My numbers are with the dev branch and 1024 with the xl model
This is an insane assertion. Housing the drug-vagrants does not remove the costs of law enforcement and emergency medical for them. It does not even significantly reduce them; In fact, if often increases them because if you have a crack-house rather than a crack-tent, it's harder/more time for law enforcement and medical to deal with; More spread out, actual doors to transit through, and all of the problems with serving warrants to homes.

That said, I'm still all for housing them in permanent buildings. With steel bars.
While your response is more interesting than the article it is still dependent of the nature of information storage. Is there a non-storage dependent way to weight information? Perhaps not a "weight of information" itself, but a physical limit to the minimal weight required to store 1 bit?
I think it is largely because people from colder climates understand the necessity of heating but think cooling is a luxury. They understand freezing risks, but might not have real appreciation of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Secondarily, many may lack the basic physics knowledge to think about both as heat transfer nor to recognize the most important parameters: temperature differential and isolation.

On the other hand, people may have some awareness of poor deployments of air conditioning into leaky and barely insulated structures in hot climates. These are indeed wasteful, but so would heating that structure if it were transplanted to a cold climate. But, it is the structure that is inefficient, rather than the heating or cooling method...
I completely agree with this -- no programming language has ever had as much marketing behind it as Java. It was absolutely overwhelming for about 6-8 years from maybe 1997 - 2005.

And what a disaster that has been -- a bunch of people now consider object-oriented programming to be a sensible approach.

Fully concur with this take and I think that it describes why Apple would be slower and more cautious in the rollout.

The end result is still the same in the long term, and that they’re going to eventually be able to figure out systemic ways to include LLMs and work to improve them to get around existing constraints.
None of the companies I've worked for would either. "Just use VScode".

I ended up buying the Jetbrains individual subscription, which ends up being like $100/year after the first year or so. Totally fair pricing and I never have to ask my employer for that again (which matters because I change employers more often than I change IDEs).
I understood the justification and necessity for lockdowns but not only were they too late but they were also infested with political exemptions and even if they had helped they were only ever a temporary solution.

Full lockdowns certainly wouldn't have been allowed to last long enough for the vaccine to be produced, especially if that research, development and production had taken as long as it was initially expected to take.

The western covid public health response was a bit of a disorganized mess, but even there it ended up being remarkably effective. I was amazed that we had almost two years with virtually zero flu infections, which showed the vast difference between the infectiousness of normal influenza and covid. Unfortunately, covid was such a stubbornly infectious little bugger that it only slowed the progression.
Because all cooling (air conditioning) works by moving heat from point A to point B.

Most heating works by directly generating heat, via electric resistance or burning a fuel source. (Heat pumps are the exception.)

> results indicate that climate control in Minneapolis is about 3.5 times as energy demanding as in Miami
Depends on what is meant by "commenting". If it's redundant and repeats what a human would reasonably understand by reading the code itself, then yes, it's bad. If a comment is there explaining why it's being done this way (e.g., some external factor that can't be deduced from nearby code), then no, commenting is not outdated.

Code is for machines. Comments are for humans. If one is redundant, drop the comments.
You can take it further and even argue that complex life is ultimately just a tool for increasing entropy (which the universe seems to enjoy doing).

Digging that oil up from the ground and the burning it does a tremendous amount to free up all that energy stored in a low-entropy system.

The book Into the Cool makes an interesting case regarding this overall concept.
When you have a metric driven company, where peoples career progression and bonuses are tightly tied to revenue numbers in a database, you incentivise this sort of thinking on an employee level. The visibility of the impact isn't necessarily there at the top.

The benefit of legacy admissions isn’t just that you can get into Harvard if your dad went to Harvard; it’s the promise that if you get into Harvard, your children will also have a better chance of getting into Harvard. If you’re not a legacy admit yourself, the practice of legacy admissions means that once your family has climbed high enough up the American class ladder to get you in, you’re going to be able to pass that down to your children. Which of course means that ending legacy admission sort of welches on the deal and takes us marginally closer to a low-trust society in which these sorts of implicit promises are worthless.
You could be right. With certificate authorities for example they are used to establish trust. How do you know what site is trustworthy? How do you know which resume isn't ML crafted? How do you prove your pic/video isn't fake? What fact checking sites do now but at scale and commercial is what I had in mind.

Yup. The lack of destructors means that at the time there wasn't an agreed upon way to cancel an awaitable function. Async/await in zig was cool, but there's a reason why it's described as an experimental feature in the article.
