You could say all this about Kodak in the early 2000s - they were incredibly successful, demand was still mostly for film cameras, people didn't have PC for transferring photos etc...

I'm not saying it makes business sense for Toyota to drop ICE sales immediately. But their feeble, half assed EV effort is going to turn them into another Blackberry if it doesn't change quickly.
A more cynical interpretation is that normally non-enforced laws are a great way for the government to provide extra pressure when desired. It's not just stodgy politicians, but massive federal agencies with vested interest keeping the status quo. Say the FBI wants info from a person and can use recreational Marijuana procession as a nice leverage point, etc.

It was absolutely unreadable on mobile Firefox (Android), initially didn't even think to use the reader mode, which indeed did help make it readable!

I am pretty sure they already had their hands at NHS data, thats about 67 million people in the UK. A bit late for that.

Ahhh, we will test in production and see what happens...
Singapore is a very interesting case because its multiculturalism is less organic and more top down. The upside? There are no slums. The downside? There is very little individual freedom, and punishment for crimes can be brutal. Like caning for vandalism or the death penalty for drug trafficking.

And yet! Singapore is consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. This contradicts the common western association of personal liberty correlating with happiness.
I'm surprised you didn't get a mod complaining there's nothing to copy/paste in there :)
...Funny you bring that up.

I was cobbling together build scripts for a mail system for Raspi/Armbian the last couple weeks. Very similar packaging stuff, but the number of little subtle differences in install/postinstall/prerm/postrm scripts took a generous level of spackling over to get just right.

Hell, once I get everything nailed down, I'm writing test frameworks for my bloody build scripts if you can believe it.

So...uh... Last week?

Hmm, okay. Can you give an example or two how the US divorce law puts men at a disadvantage?
While that was a perfect outcome for you, but when someone else needs the same or similar question answered they have to ask ChatGPT or find a relevant Discord to ask again.

I stayed as a guest student in San Francisco Zen center for $20/night (currently it's $25/night). But you will have assigned work to do during the day (I cut onions in the kitchen) but you will be free in the evenings and on weekends to explore the city. The city center of the Zen center is right in the city. Details here [1]

I stayed mostly to learn about Zen meditation (I had heard that Steve Jobs practiced Zen meditation). This was when I was brand new to San Francisco just before joining my first job after finishing up my Masters as an International student.

Post my one week stay here, I stayed in a hacker house (Startup Embassy) for one whole year, staying in a bunk bed and having some of the best days of my life chatting and exploring with other founders and wannabe-entrepreneurs. Then started own own hacker house (community living with airbnb beds for founders) with friends I made there for the next year, near Mountain View California. My friends made it into YC and I returned to India to startup (due to H1B visa considerations among other things). I'm not sure if these are accepting guests anymore.

As a fellow user with an SI-prefixed username, I hope "hellabyte" is one of the options that you try.
Yes, and I find multiple of its assumptions if not unreasonable at least with a huge flexibility that would void it, as have been discussed since it being stated and as one can even read on Wikipedia? There are dozens of similar feasible argumentations that can unparadox it..
Only wikipedia did that. In general encyclopedias did not use to have a 'personal life' segment at all
It's like writing a headline: "Netflix pays star $30m for one movie amid tech layoffs".
Valid according to the type of capitalist economy the rich, powerful and money hungry want: one where everything revolves around shareholder value, rather than societal value. In that economy, it doesn't matter how destructive your business model is, as long as the shareholders get value out of it.

Friedman's idea that corporations that maximising shareholder value has clearly been the single most destructive ideal that has plagued this planet for the past half century, but to too many people in power it is still the rule.

It's also the reason why we still keep burning coal and oil, despite knowing that we're destroying our planet that way.
The only people that think code is law are hardcore libertarians / anarchists, which was the majority of crypto in 2011 but obviously isn't now.

The most likely way houses and other real world assets will exist is via a 2/3 multisig on the tokens. The 3 participants being: Government, Management Company, User.

If you lose your keys or get hacked you can go to the government + company responsible for the assets and get them back. If the company screws up the users can work with the government to get their assets back.

The advantage of this over a traditional government database is transfers can be made much more efficient because the government doesn't have to be involved in every transfer, they only step in if things go wrong.
Do you know if there are public resources one can check to know how to stay safe, or is asking locals the best options? My only gripe with that is that it’s not always possible, one might find oneself by a seemingly nice river/lake with nobody around.

This is why I'm emphasizing MOS 6502. I'm well-familiar with the most popular alternative, WDC's 65C02, where all of the undocumented opcodes execute as NOP with no changes to internal registers/flags or to memory, but with one or two harmless side effects on timing behavior.
Any ideas how you test the SQL using this approach?
Actually there's no difference in terms of how sharing code is handled. Both Copilot and AI Assistant send your code to a LLM, and neither of those tools will use your code for training code generation models.
Nix has a really convenient new CL libraries packaging upstream now. That verifies everything with sha256. It's quite complete because it's seeded from Quicklisp and had more packages added on (aswell as their native library dependcies.)

Nix isn't to everyone's taste but it demonstrates that you can treat security/reproducibility/etc as orthogonal to Quicklisp and Sourceforge (and to Lisp native tooling in general.)

In Cube (1997) the characters are trapped in a labyrinth of sorts made of boxes (cubes) that they can escape by solving math riddles.

They're all supposed to be math geniuses, but very early on in the movie they take forever to decide if 645 or 372 are prime numbers... It kind of killed the suspension of disbelief for me right there...

It’s filled with grammatical, typographical, and logical mistakes. It’s disorganized. There are many sentence fragments and few whole thoughts. There is no thesis. One paragraph contains only sophomoric leading questions. The name Grusch - the subject himself - is misspelled.

Which regions are affected? I'm in the EU, seems okay for now.
Just communicate clearly why it is how it is.

I've some GH repos whose quality I'm ashamed of today. But it's clear they were developed by a person with 12 years less experience than me today. It's clear it was just a hobby-project or clear that it wasn't ever meant to be continued this long. A line like "The code in X is a mess and needs a refactoring" is enough.

It is to me, when I researched candidates. When a ticket, todo or note shows that the author is clearly aware of the problems, and shows she/he can weigh off why (not) to fix that today, it tells -me- they are good in what they do.

A dev who shows to make decisions about quality, effort, workflows, based on experience and reasoning, to me, is worth a hundred devs that blindly follow The Sacrosanct Rule Of The Latest Cargo Cult Religion™.
A dev who shows she/he grew over time, by showing "terrible" code in the past, to me, is worth a hundred devs that have been doing the exact same rituals for years or decades.

So, yes: by all means, show your worst stuff. But be sure it's clear that you know its "bad" and why.

One day but multiple charges. Got up at 7am and got home at 1am. Port Macquarie to Melbourne. I was bringing the car home from buying it interstate. On autopilot probably 95% of the time.

I charged 6 times that day, but those were around 40% to 90%, not 0 to 100. It could have been 3 charges if I risked getting closer to zero and spent more total time charging.

The car mapped the charging stops out for me. Sometimes multiple supercharger stops are better as the car can charge faster when the battery is low - I.e. 30% to 40% is quicker than 90 to 100, so if they're not much out of the way it's quicker to stop for 6 quick charges than 3 slow ones.

I (EU citizen) once crossed the UK border in a Tesla and it was a weird experience.

They have flagged me (in Dover) and brought me to a hangar where an old border officer first asked me the usual questions – do you have any drugs, guns, knives, etc.

Then he started asking me whether I know that my car has cameras and asked me to show him the position of all of them. While we were going around the car he kept asking me how come I am fine that Elon Musk sees everything I do around the car and everywhere I go. He kept asking me something about Elon and shuffled it with the more usual questions like whether I am a terrorist.

After ~10 minutes he let me go through.

If it was a stranger on a parking lot I wouldn't mind and I would perhaps even enjoy the conversation, but coming from a border guard it was a bit scary.
That could be "one" env provider/integrator.

Or maybe companies should never get that big. Keep them small and human scale. Large companies represent an unreasonable concentration of wealth and therefore power. I think they're fundamentally a threat to democracy.
Not really no. It’s mostly Python 3. The AI space back then had heavy emphasis on symbolic AI. Modern deep learning algorithms have very little overlap.
Yes. There are those who claimed they just performed a "highly profitable trading strategy", and are now sitting in jail.
Would that work, though?

I've never looked seriously into it, but my feeling is that distros will delete old versions as newer ones are uploaded: When I run "apt-cache policy git" in my Ubuntu, I only see a couple versions available to install, often other packages show only a single one (so, the latest).

VMware passes through the id of the physical hardware into the guest VM. So if you're running on apple hardware, this works. If you're running on a PC, there are hacks to 'borrow' the serial number of some ancient imac and have it work still (even ancient systems are still allowed to log into icloud, and those ancient systems didn't do any cryptography so all you need is a valid serial number that nobody else is using).
Just to clarify:
1) the AI Assistant plugin is not bundled, it needs to be installed separately;
2) once the plugin is installed, you need to explicitly log in to the AI platform.

Therefore, there's no risk of your code being submitted to a third-party service without you performing several explicit actions to authorize it.

To provide even more control over the use of AI Assistant at the organization level, we're adding support for per-repository opt-out flags in the next update of the AI Assistant plugin.
It's a good read, but it highlights to me the fact that you really need to understand the compact maths that describes all this (in this case the Fourier transform) at which point it's all rather simple. I notice that much of signal processing discussion at the hardware level involves lots of hand waving and attempts to avoid even complex numbers.
Between 2009 and today, the US doubled GDP while life expectancies fell. In the EU, GDP is stagnant but life expectancy went up.

Tesla has Autopilot. My 1200km day was the car driving itself 90% of the way. Of course I was paying attention and ready to take over, but the effort is reduced. Still, I agree... not easy. It still sucked.

Yup - my country considers gay couples not married - even if they have been married in another country. Even worse - if another country requests that information - my country will also say that they are not married. Because - obviously - they will ask the country that the couple are citizens of not some random 3rd country.

Do you think Python or Ruby or PHP are any different? And yet, not one of them actually chose to use this in a sane way, where a simple lookup error doesn't have to crash the whole program.
Yeah this is the point I find myself repeatedly making. In the internet age we're increasingly grappling with increases in quantity that become a quality of their own. Capture of public data points that seems reasonable, or even harmless, at the scale of manual human work can become a major instrument of coercion when networked computers can collate information from across the globe

And do note that we have some precedence for understanding how legal actions can become illegal by magnitude with the offence of stalking. Taking pictures of people in public is generally legal, but repeatedly targeting the same person is in many cases not
Same thing, isn’t it? The desktop app is just electron
Also: sometimes I need to work with stuff I'm not so familiar with; no one is "senior" across the board. Even though I did Ruby full-time for a few years, it's been a while and I forgot a lot of basic boring stuff so I will end up searching things like "Ruby remove whitespace from string" (trim? strip? chop? chomp? delete? What were the differences again?)

And even inside my main expertise, I will sometimes search for an answer just to verify that my thinking is correct and that I didn't miss anything (which is not a strong guarantee that I didn't, but better than nothing).
This is more than accurate. I wanted to start iOS development, but even opening Xcode is painful.

This assumes that the trend of a decreasing population is a fact which cannot be reversed, which seems quite defeatist.
I would argue that there is plenty of large(above billion dollars) companies that bring net good to world. Manufacturing is good field. Producing things like machinery improves quality of live and productivity.

Not that these often doesn't have negative aspects when they strive for even higher value extraction, looking at something like John Deere. Still it does allow massive efficiency gains in farming.
> The good of the community and the well-being of the users are completely irrelevant in this strategy.

Nor is the well-being of the company's employees, or at least the stability of their job and the foreseeability of their future.

It is one more example of a situation where a worker's union fighting for the interest of both the workers and the company (in the sense of the platform/product, not the shareholders) would be to the benefits for the longevity of the business and for the users too.
Just to be clear, that's not my description. It's filed description on the trade mark.

surely if they're successful they'll create a market for ripping the keys out of TPMs and selling them?

You have commented this at least 22 minutes after they have reported the outage.

If you want to mock a database to have a fast subset of tests, first test the client the hard way and prove you’re using the real database correctly (not just asserting what you hope it would do).
I had that happen to me before. I accepted the invitation, looked at their stuff, and then submitted an issue/PR to remove myself. They panicked, I laughed a bit.
Not just stretched, but convoluted beyond recognition. The prohibitionists were a bit fanatical but at least they did it properly and passed an amendment for it.
> For OFDM with many subcarriers this can get to be a very large value. It is quite likely that M_OFDM can exceed 10^50. With such high signal orders, we expect that OFDM will not be tolerant of waveform distortion, since in OFDM, changing the waveform directly changes the data.

> Comparing signal order between OFDM and QAM provides a measure of relative tolerance to waveform distortion, corresponding to linearity specifications on the receiver and transmitter circuits, particularly the PA linearity.

And this directly caused high-performance headphone amplifiers.

I came across an article titled "The Role of Soft Skills in Tech Hiring: Finding Candidates Who Excel in Communication and Collaboration" discussing the importance of soft skills in tech hiring, and it got me thinking about how essential these skills are for building a top-performing team in the tech industry.

The article sheds light on how Gen Z businesses have shifted their focus from solely technical skills to prioritizing communication and collaboration abilities in their recruitment process.

According to LinkedIn's Global Talent Trends research, a whopping 92% of recruiters consider soft skills to be just as important as, if not more critical than, hard technical skills when evaluating potential candidates.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Have you experienced the significance of soft skills in your tech hiring processes, either as a recruiter or a job seeker? How do you identify candidates with outstanding communication and collaboration abilities?
Housing affordability is a function of income and housing prices.

There are lots and lots of things that affect or arguably affect either of these.

The problem with "some effect," based on a econ101 generality, is failing to estimate scale of affect in the 101 model, supply and demand.

You could argue, and this was popular in the 90s, that the solution to housing affordability is education. Better education, better income, housing affordability.

NIMBY related ideas about housing affordability issues are the 2010s version of this. Unlikely to have any measurable impact on housing even if the politically unrealistic polucues are implemented in full.

True, at least in theory, but not significant.
> The overpopulation story is a joke

The human impact on the environment is proportional the population*. Here's an article on it, that doesn't look remotely humorous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_impact_on_the_environmen...

*It's popular to blame it on 'lifestyle' instead. That's like blaming only 'A' for the size of 'C' in the equation A*B = C
