There are costs to not shipping a feature you meant to ship. So we first get a bit of sunk cost fallacy, trying to stretch to meet the goal, then if we pull back we have to make sure the feature is either completely toggled off or reverted. And then you have to fix the docs, which is never a fast process. It always takes longer wall-clock time to do the grunt tasks than strictly necessary to perform the steps.
> I sincerely wish that some country would apply to information copyright a similar approach to what India does for medicine patents.

Care to take this opportunity to explain India's approach to medicine patents, and why you think it's good?
Single Page Web Applications in Idris
just a data point: Hex we built a .yaml based import/export for our notebooks, more than partially to make it friendlier to work with git (also partially because as we added new features it became harder to express custom cell types in .ipynb).

We still support ipynb import/export, but using yaml for our internal representation of notebooks has made it hugely easier to do human-readable diffs and makes git operations way easier.

After having used computers for a few years (oh, about 30), and having grown up with the internet (first dialup at age 16 in 1996), I gotta say,

Access to information should not have (ranked, optimizable, commercially-bent) search as its base interface. This is a cosmic, civilization-level screwup. Not only do you get the decades of SEO and advertising, but the whole system becomes lossy over time. You can't find what you used to anymore.
> What would you say to someone who’s only qualm is the animals humane treatment?

The typical response to this would be a game of Name The Trait.

For example, what would be wrong about farming humans as long as we treat them humanely?

Or more generally, what's true of animals that if made true of humans would make it okay to farm humans? And then when you come up with a symmetry breaker, we apply it to humans and see if you're okay with the reductio. If so, you bite the bullet on a crazy human atrocity, and if not, then it's not the trait that actually matters to you.
Most of these spam content farms are covered with ads supplied by Google. The incentive isn't necessarily there to remove them.

On top of that the worse the search results, the more likely the user will click an ad rather than an organic result. The Google of old wouldn't have been tempted by that incentive, but that Google is long dead.

Bad search result = more revenue from ads.

Obviously it's a fine balance, they don't want to loose users, but they will have the metrics to (religiously) work from.

As someone who used to run ad campaigns on Google until a couple of years ago, they are doing the same to advertisers. Users will happily click an ad, go back to the result and try another, many many times. Google have systematically made the advertising on search results worse, showing ads more regularly for poorer placements, removing control and visible auditing. It's all so they can extract more revenue from the advertisers.
You're putting a lot of words in my mouth and I don't believe you're arguing in good faith.

I never said it was easy, and I never even said you can get out of it at all. I simply said you're better off believing one thing over another.

>that's not going to stop the very powerful dopamine-seeking urge of the brain

This is our fundamental disagreement. Plenty of people have their urges under control. Believing you are somehow "different" or your brain is "broken" is the ultimate toxic mindset. You can't fix your life until you fix your mind
I knew somebody will call me out since I didn't give details. :D

It was a 1-2 vCPU k8s pod which is still pretty impressive IMO. On my 20 CPU threads workstation I can easily achieve multi-million events per second. Even one of my Linux laptops can go at around 1 million but its ETH interface started overheating and couldn't sustain it longer.

> Why use async or even Rust at all at such small loads?

That's the better question, yeah. We had 200+ k8s pods and had to ingest a lot of data is the simple answer. Using anything except C++ or Rust would have made our cloud bill much bigger.

Though I have to admit that nowadays I would be very strongly tempted to try with Golang or even OCaml's new multithreaded runtime.
I don't think the dichotomy is a bad rule of thumb to help understand someone, but it's certainly not their identity.

I've come to find that it's down to the person's experience with and resulting preference for crowds and individuals. It's nurture, not nature.

I used to be very introverted until I started living on my own as an adult and had shit to do and wanted things in life. I've also seen extroverts that mellowed out with age.

There's no mystery. Raise your kids and yourself accordingly.
Well he has a point. Humans survive from what, -40C to 40C ?

Given Earth's record temperatures of -89.2C to 56.7C, sure, we can survive in a large chunk, but the mean temperature of cosmic gas is 2.2 million deg C
How do contractors benefit from the patent?

They can "eventually" release the information whether or not they had a secret patent.
I wasn't asking for advice. I was in fact exploring ways to measure employee performance (using GPT as a search engine) and criticized one of the assumptions in one of theoretical framework with my own experience. GPT retorted "burnout", I retorted "harassment grounded on material evidence", and it spitted a generic block about how it couldn't provide legal or psychological guidance. I wasn't asking for advice, it was just a point in a wider conversation. Switching to GPT-4-0314 it proceeded with a reply that matched the discussion main's topic (metrics in HR) switching it back to GPT-4-0613 it outputted the exact same generic block.
Love FiraCode. Have it installed and configured for all of my terminals, everywhere. Even on Windows. In fact, the one customization I've done to my work laptop (that I otherwise leave in it's official, shipped, state), is to add FiraCode.
Yes, I know a few SEO/SEMs. They're ecstatic at the moment with how much easier and cheaper AI has made it for them to pump out shitty content.

This is already underway and it's already the case that Google is sending you to a bunch of mediocre articles that were written mostly by an AI. The real question is what happens once that trend compounds over the next 2-3 years. It is working right now so it is going to 10x.
> One can argue the systemd project is simply following in the Linux kernel's footsteps here. It too is a monorepo chock full of all kernel functionality one might ever need, with the expectation that use cases will pick and choose what snowflake suits them best.

Linux is openly a monolithic kernel that builds everything in one tree. Are you sure that's the analogy you want to pick?
I tried insomnia for the first time the other day. The big missing bit is that you can't inherit authentication from the collection container, so all you're requests use the same oauth2 method or whatever. You need to set it up for each request in the collection.
Trailing Commas Are Just the Beginning (2022)
I'm actually neutral on that. Both licenses are fine for my purposes, and I have no real philosophical issues with either of them.
I don't know if I agree, this was just 2009. Google, Twitter, YouTube all already existed and I'd been doing web dev work for 10 years at that point. I think tech is still the black box it's always been - just look at how many people are buying things because it says 'AI' in the name right now. If they really had the knowledge of how things worked , they would know better than to pay for that.
Also, this is OSHW - Open Source Hardware - a _copyright_ based license, U.S. copyright does not protect hardware. Patents are a whole other subject. This article is about Open Hardware being abused, not patents.

I stopped working on OSHW because it can't protect hardware. It has no legal teeth. Better to just give it away (public domain or whatever).
Well I'm sorry but I don't recall ever subscribing to the (blatantly arbitrary) "official" open source definition (even though I can appreciate the initiative).

I prefer the literal definition: The source is open.

Which it is.
Have you used PopOS? Yeah, the battery life and efficiency is amazing on the M1. I wonder if the new Ryzen 7 APU on these will be better.
These kind of companies are often bottom feeder and often does the lowest quality they can get away with, and consequently with the lowest profit margin.

It makes them fragile, and likely also a frustrating experience to deal with, since you wouldn't get support.
Cyber Resilience Act: MEPs back plan to boost digital products security
I was in my wonderful homeland of Bulgaria. Every time a person died, the hospital always wrote down Covid, so they can get extra money from EU and the state. Car crash? Covid! Old age? Covid! AIDS? Covid! Drank bleach? Covid! F***ing Bulgarians living in year 3020.

Across species, tendon strength is strongly correlated with modulus (normalized stiffness). Greater stiffness has the risk of reducing range of motion. When a graft is used it is intended/hoped that the graft will remodel over time to become more similar to the original tendon's properties, which match what the entire organ system needs to function properly. Nor does a stronger graft mean that the connection between the graft and the bone will be 6× stronger. 6× stronger might also be optimistic; prior work suggests more like 2× stronger and stiffer.

Transcripts aren't useful across different high schools. Rich kids have more connections for rec letters. Rich kids get professional essay help, and lying kids make up a good story. Kids and parents with lots of time/money/connections on their hands get a portfolio of community service etc built up. I knew these kids in high school with resumes like veteran philanthropists, and it worked.

I think the only good one out of those is the interview.
The problem isn't that websites owners want to promote their website to the top of the search results, the problem is that Google's financial interests are aligned with those pages instead of its users.

If Google was putting significant resources towards combating SEO spam instead of encouraging it, the sites returned from a query (e.g. the sites that make Google the most money) would be the ones that the user most wanted, not the ones that maximally participate in Google's ad-extortion business.
There's a game based on The Kraken Wakes, released early 2023.

It's not even the same system though. When some Chinese company gets big enough, they just get partially or wholly subsumed by the government in a quasi-nationalization. IP and patents don't have much meaning in such a system. They aren't even much protected from themselves, much less from foreign pirates.

They're not quite communist but they don't protect individual property rights to the same degree that we do. If we stole their designs they'd probably just shrug, but we'd still have to contend with our own laws and domestic competitors and international trade agreements with other Western nations, while they just continue on their merry way, growing and growing while securing logistics and supply routes from a bunch of small countries and mines.

At the end of the day, their system can more efficiently organize national production around some shared goal. Ours allows more independent experimentation and a faster pace of innovation. But once they have their minds set on something, collectively, I don't think our market would be able to keep pace unless we keep being able to technologically leapfrog them. But that can only last for so long, especially as our education continues to weaken...

The only other one I know is the Apple Maps API. I think it‘s really likely that this will just be an improved version of Siri and not stand-alone product.
The difference is mostly the setup. Most "A/C" I see are hung up on roofs and exposed directly to the sun. Kinda funny if you think about it. But the installation guys/company do not care. And most people have no idea that it's a heat-pump or how that thing works.
Very uncommon. I'm using it since it became default on Arch and never had any problems. Systemd is actually the best thing to happen to Linux. Luddites gonna luddit.
Yes, sry for confusion. I don't see any way to correct my mistake as edit button for title and description is no longer available to me. At least I don't have this mistake on GitHub.
Having worked at Google for almost 10 years, I can say that almost any solution proposed that includes "we'll have a person look at this with their eyes" would be instantly discounted as unworkable. The reality distortion field towards automatic everything with computers is intense.
From my experience, i don't care if i'm introvert or extrovert.

WHat i do really care, is, how much i understand myself. What do i really need ? How do i say no ? How do i stay motivated ?....

Those are real matters.
I didn't want to nitpick but why is that metric "at least 15% ice per square kilometer" ?

Can the 15% from four square kilometers bunch up in one square kilometer resulting in a 75% decrease of ice ?
You can't do this here, and we've banned the account.

It’s a fair thought, and it’s interesting you mention that. I do think of it as separating concerns. I think of CSS for styles and JS for dynamism that can’t be achieved out of the box. Classes are only attributes, after all. Hypothetically, if you remove the JS-dependent class it doesn’t break any styles (unless of course, you’re using JS to apply styles, which is another conversation). That being said, if someone still felt strongly I’d concede this is subjective and only relevant to developer experience.

I think you touched on an objective subject, however, if you were alluding to performance. Classes are generally free and cheap. I’d be very interested in evidence to the contrary if anyone could share.

My last, somewhat random, thought is that it does indeed seem that who likes TW and who doesn’t does seem to depend a lot on the stack they’re thinking of when they mull over its (de)merits.
My guess is that heating is perceived as a survival issue, and cooling is about comfort. Needs vs wants.
Battery life is probably my biggest reservation. The fact the MBP/MBA has 20 hrs of USAGE is unbeatable still. How is the power suspend? I had huge issues with Linux laptops, if I left it unplugged, the battery would drain 10% a day where it seems like a couple % on MacOS
The underlying models have not changed. You can specify the specific model variant you want via the API. (The underlying model used by the ChatGPT application may be updated, but that's not what the linked paper discusses.)
> Systemd is umbrella project for many software components, one of which is pid1 init.

And most of the other components only work with the init system; systemd is modular, but it's one system.

> Almost all of the components are optional and many of them integrate through well-defined interfaces.

Well-defined interfaces that the project specified themselves and that rarely have any other implementations.
Removing all IP protections would likely make it harder to run these sorts of businesses, but nobody has any inherent right to run a successful business
Sure, in theory it doesn't but in practice it does.

I wanted to extract some data files from an app I was using and Google's Android told me that I was not allowed to do that. That was the apps data not my data.

It doesn't really matter root/fine grained permissions. The fact is that on stock Pixel phones the user can't access whatever data they want. So in practice they don't have control.
>It could be good if it was my choice.

Usually banks don't let you disable antifraud protections. They prefer to make their business and the banking system more secure by reducing the rate of fraud. Fraud is expensive for them to deal with so it doesn't really make financial sense to let customers say that they are okay with having more fraud happen using their account.
I don't know if it's a "I want a TUI rather than a plug-in" vibe. For me, it's more of a "it fits my workflow".

I use helix as an editor and like to use a range of command line tools and scripts for regular stuff. Lazygit fits right into that and I don't have to leave the terminal.

I used vs-code a few years ago and its got plugin was (I assume still is) pretty good, if I used it as my editor then I'd probably use a plug in like you say, but as things are lazygit is both an awesome tool and the path of least resistance.
Are we really comparing voluntary entertainment to working a job to make a living?
The point is that Fortnite has already instilled gambling addiction to a generation of children. Anyone interested in perpetuating this addiction (Microsoft, Sony, Sega, Epic, Apple, Google, Meta) will fight back and probably kill any attempt at regulation
Sure, but how does Comic Code compare to the free Comic Mono? Comic Mono is pretty readable.
I wish they turned off ads on this. If this is PyCon surely they get PSF sponsorship money anyway...
Again if a gift will create a big long term financial obligation that will end up making it a net negative, it is obviously the role of leadership to choose whether to implement it or not.

Taking into account fictional future donations and communicating with donator and explaining the issue is called negotiation. Being convinced to make bad financial decisions in fear of losing a donator is again, a failure of leadership.

If someone offers you $10 if you spend $100 later you're better off not taking it, even if you could have bought something with that $10. That basic financial stewardship is the role of university leadership to deal with. They failed.
Education is the path out of this: advertised products are ALWAYS worse value. You are overpaying to fund convincing the next sucker.

The market is pretty efficient, and there are always alternatives. If you aren't lazy, you can save a huge amount of money by not buying advertised products.

On the rare occasions I see an ad for something cool that I want, I search for it on aliexpress and 90% of the time find it for 1/3 the price.

Whenever someone tells you that they bought something because of an ad, you should make them feel a little embarrassed about it. There should be mild social punishment for admitting an ad hijacked your brain and made you get out your wallet - it means you're a sucker, a rube, a feebleminded lazybones.
I am really hoping so. my last paragraph:

PS: secretly, I hope that this post starts ranking for “a comprehensive ecosystem of open source software for big data management”, which is why I have said it verbatim so many times and added a helpful callout at the top for students. To be honest, I'd settle for the 19th spot: just above highadviser.com.
In common usage, the term "A/C" refers to a kind of heat pump that only does cold, whereas "heat pump" means one that does both hot and cold.

A refrigerator also has a heat pump, but we just call them refrigerators.

Part of the problem is in temperate climates, if you have "A/C" you probably _also_ have a furnace. They might run on different fuels (electric vs. natural gas) so it makes it harder to get a ballpark estimate for the overall efficiency.
Please buy an A/C. Depending on where you live in Italy, some places have temperatures of 40C+ and add to that the humidity, it's a matter of life or death and not just inconvenience.
Isn’t that more of an indictment of the administration than of alumni donors?
How do you refresh your bearer token when needed, and have it automatically apply to all 20 api's you are curling. Bash scripts or whatever don't count, because then you aren't using "plain old curl"
I don't see Microsoft broke any rules. They didn't buy some competitor, but built and marketed Teams from scratch on it's own. Slack has absolute market dominance in the past, but then they lost more and more to Microsoft, because they just asked too much for what it does. Who want to pay 11$ per month just for a single product if I can get many products from Microsoft at the same price?
The whole Cisco courses, blog spam, SEO industry are some of the worst things to exist in technology. I hope all of them gets burned by a massive fire. Who even thinks of becoming a SEO consultant?
I can't tell from the examples. Does Zig's async support closures or is it strictly out of order execution?
> I don't think it's a technical difficulty but rather a management decision to allow spam as long as they have their adsense ads

It is absolutely this, yes. They tell people where to go, and they also profit from the ads they put on the places they tell people to go, and they have no real competition[1]. It has made them one of the most valuable companies on the planet. There is no incentive for them to rank higher quality results over ad-filled pages.

We need to break up big tech.

I have always loved comic sans. It's such an unambiguously fun font. I wish I could customise the OSes of today to use it everywhere. But I'm not sure if it will work for code.
Speaking strictly on semantics, why does open source have to also mean free? I've heard the term "FOSS" for over a decade now, and it very clearly separates the "free" and "open source" parts.

Releasing with this model allows for AI-based creativity while still protecting Meta as a company. I feel like it makes plenty sense for them to do this.
A Checklist for Choosing Type
I can't help but think this will be king of Virtual Server hosting for the next couple years. At that point, who knows what comes next, I know Intel is betting on custom accelerators and NVidia is pushing for GPU-like AI parallelism. Between AMD and other ARM options, who knows in a few years, but this is a pretty great option in the near term.
That's false. If it outputs formatted code, it's easier to read. I don't see the backtics, I see formatted code when using the chat interface.
My worst ever experience with Siri...

Me: Remind me at 8am to put X in the kids' school bags

Siri: I'm sorry, I can't set reminders in the past

Me: 8am tomorrow you fucking idiot

At 8am the next morning I got a reminder on my phone that just said "You fucking idiot".
> they just don't care about their end users at all.

They do, a lot actually. We're just not the end users. The advertisers are. Thet don't need to care about us since they're a monopoly. Use Brave Search, DuckDyckGo or something elae to help change that. Get other people to too.

I didn't say anything about legacy admissions. In fact, I'm all in on not-exclusively-academic-merit based admissions for private universities. I will happily trade a few bottom-of-the-rung merit-based admissions in exchange for students that either benefit me in some way (by subsidizing my education and/or providing good networking opportunities) or try and make up for the mistreatment of disadvantaged groups.
That must be a regional thing. In my area heat pumps and air conditioners are indistinguishable on the outside. They are usually installed behind or beside the house in an inconspicuous location, as close as reasonably possible to the corresponding interior coil and machinery.
