I’ve read that MFC was a very close copy of MacApp, so not sure how true that is.

Also of course that’s Microsoft of the late nineties: e.g. COM/OLE2 originally had a Macintosh port and an obscure commercial-Unix one, VC++ 4 shipped with a Macintosh cross environment complete with an MFC port, etc. Don’t know if anybody ever seriously used those except the Mac ports of Microsoft software (Office, IE).
I have, and the results are more misses than hits. Up to including recommending libraries that don't actually exist.

Samsung 3nm had a yield rate well below 20% back in early 2022, and that's not unheard of while still in the development phase. To be economically viable the yield rates have to be around 80%, so mature nodes can be expected to be in that ballpark.

I'm not working on anything close to bare metal hardware though; I rely on the libraries, frameworks and runtimes I use for the majority of performance, and have to watch out for expensive re-renders and the like myself.

That said, I'm sad that we're building apps in React Native; I tried to advocate for native apps which are much more mechanically sympathetic, but they weren't having it. In hindsight, it was probably the best call since we spend nearly no time on anything device specific and developing features is much faster than it would be if it were native, but it still sucks.

Is windows 11's UI laggy because of the UI library, or because of fetching things from the internet?
You are on an internet forum. You are attempting to describe a very complex societal issue in very simple terms, using an analogy. Your description lefts out many important details and other present or potential problems, as you concentrate on a single issue. In your description, all democratic checks and balances are effectively portrayed as stupid and time-wasting. You end up with apologia for fascism.

Good luck.
Also, when I'm on the freeway, though I'm moving tons of metal are even higher speeds, I'm somehow less stressed. I'm alert, I'm actively driving, but less stressed - because the frequency of surprising events happening is low. In the city there are jaywalkers, kids, tiny bikes with no lights, e-scooters, buses pulling in and out of stations, gas scooters cutting you off. It's completely different.
it's like suggesting to use julia for ML 5 years ago instead of using Python, because it is new. Nowadays is somewhat decent but still lags behind PyTorch and none cares, same will be for Typst unless something major happens.

Sure you can still write commutative diagram but that's not all tikz does.
That sounds like an optimization the compiler could / should do for me, if I enable the option. Same with things like struct ordering and / or padding, although that can affect the functionality in subtle ways, because the language gives you too much power at that low level.

No schedule. There's three things basically: Rest, Burn energy, or Maintenance

Rest takes priority, always. It should be properly relaxing. A common trap is social media, gaming, or some other activity that is not exactly rest. Non-rest idleness is how the weekend goes by unproductively.

Next, maintenance. Laundry, groceries, mopping, wiping, cutting grass, cutting hair, visiting relatives. Yes, you have to maintain relationships too.

And then energy stuff when there's excess capacity. Sometimes we drive to a random town, buy groceries from the beach. Throw a party. Build a side app. Hiking. Going for a run.

Reenergizing isn't always just lying down, sometimes you need to move actively too.

Globally, the oil and gas industries are showing a strong upward trend. These industries are positioned for strong growth due to the rising global energy demand. Large-scale oil and gas deposits have been unlocked because of improvements in drilling equipment and exploration methods, which have expanded production and created new jobs.
That's a direct action against the interest of their employer, and an attempt to enrich themselves at the benefit of Microsoft. They are purposefully writing bad software which drives ME market share and reputation among developers down only to sell some books.
Hi all, just wanted to share my new open-source project: It's basically ChatGPT Code Interpreter, but the Python interpreter runs locally on your machine.

The idea is that you can use it for sensitive data (or any data you don't want to upload to their services). There is an approval process to not run code you don't want to and not send results to OpenAI you find too sensitive.
But then you aren't taking into account server and storage costs of self managed monitoring.

Unless it's Datadog. That's expensive.
I presume you're joking else you probably should - as an act of propitiation for your sins.

As long as the feature is there, it should endeavor to be the best possible version of itself. Making it deliberately useless and unsuitable in order to avoid the obvious use of _doing different things for different types_ is really just having a suboptimal feature. And if it would make it a better feature to ignore the parts of the syntax, that are statically known to not be part of the program, it seems like low-hanging fruits.

I'm sure there are philosophical reasons for every choice made in the design of this feature, but at the end of the day, users just see a feature being needlessly obtuse.

That still misprices risks.

Shares in a bank essentially behave like call options on the assets of the bank, where the strike price is the sum of debt and other liabilities of the bank.

When you are pricing an option ahead of time, you can still misprice them; even if it turns out that at the end of the day, the option turned out to expire out-of-the-money (ie the bank's shareholders get wiped out).

Basically when you make a task in dwarf fortress that requires a character in the game to do something, it gets added to a global jobs list.

Dwarves will, assuming they don't have other jobs at the time, pick a job from that list as long as they're allowed to do so by their labor selections + workshop availability (if that is possible). Do note that this doesn't actually account for pathfinding or if the job is even possible. The game will gladly tell you over and over that a job is being cancelled if for whatever reason the items needed for it are inaccessible/don't exist. Just a small note.

If the dwarf in question has no current jobs, the first priority will be for them to check their needs and try to fulfill them. Needs more or less are in two categories - "essential" and "non-essential". Non-essential needs used to be more obvious - it was the On Break part of a dwarfs schedule. Basically every once in a while, a dwarf goes "On Break", effectively making them unable to do anything except take care of their essential needs. Nowadays it's a set of activities derived from the unique identity of the dwarf (On Break doesn't exist anymore) - religious dwarves will want to play, while dwarves that seek musical entertainment will try to do so with a musical instrument.

Essential needs on the other hand are things like drinking/eating and sleeping. These pretty much come in two degrees, "want" to do and "need" to do. Want to do means the dwarf will immediately get a job to fulfill the need once the criteria are hit - if a dwarf gets hungry while hauling a rock, they'll grab a bite to eat after. When a need progresses to "need to do", it just will straight up interrupt any non-need job they're currently doing[0] (the game even tells you this) and create a new job to do it. Its how a dwarf will fall asleep on the spot if they're extremely tired.

Mental breakdown and tantrums are similarly "essential" needs, just with their own triggers that can't be interrupted by the player.

[0]: With the notable exception of military duties, which is one of the reasons militias in Dwarf Fortress have to be on a rotating schedule - dwarves will not eat or drink if they're on active duty, no matter what. They will sleep in a barracks though.

Making Music Male
> So I turned to Netdata. A one liner on each server and we had super sexy and fast dashboard for each server. No birds eye view, but fine. I then spent maybe 3-4 days trying to figure out how to get alerting to work (just email, but fine) and get temperature readings (or something like that).

I work in Netdata on ML. Just wanted to mention that as of last release a parent node will show all children in the agent dashboard so if doing again as of today a parent netdata might have got you the birds eye view as a starting point https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.41.0#v141...

> the notion that programmer's time is more expensive than machine time

I do this computation each time I want to code something: time_to_develop + time_to_optimize + time_running and get the solution that minimizes that. Most of the time the optimize part is not worth it (although it'd be so much funnier to do it).

I had a vague idea of what the Golden Dinar was, but this article gives some concrete figures and references:

> [email dated April 2, 2011] "Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver ... This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA)." […]

> "According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. […]

> Gaddafi's threatened attempt to establish an independent African currency was not taken lightly by Western interests. In 2011, Sarkozy reportedly called the Libyan leader a threat to the financial security of the world. How could this tiny country of six million people pose such a threat? […]

> … another enigma remarked on by early commentators. Why, within weeks of initiating fighting, did the rebels set up their own central bank?

> "This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences. I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising."
Wow, nice, thanks! :) I’ll consider. Do you have a link? :) I am lame though. :)
Likewise in southern Finland. Usually there's a week or two of really oppressive heat, but not this year. Just 20C-ish (70F-ish) and light cloud cover, keeping' it not beach weather but certainly perfect for doing stuff outdoors. Occasional surprise afternoon rain to keep the plants happy.

OTOH it's been a bad-ish year for berries and tomatoes, and AFAIK nobody can quite figure out why.
In my limited use, I've never seen these models (chatgpt, and github copilot) generate invalid syntax. I don't see much to improve there

I do see them generate code that fails the type checker though.
I think the chance of fraud was always very low. The whole debacle of how it got published seems to make certain that there is very little to gain and utter humiliation if it turns out to be irrelevant.

Even if it isn't fraudulent it still may be false, but it seems quite certain that the authors believe in their own claim.

Fair enough, there's something to say for both sides. When using an IDE, I do often launch into the debugger immediately. Then again, using printf means you start out with a service that already logs all requests; you can commit that code, which you generally can't do with debugger breakpoints. I'm sure there are more arguments either side.

Seems to me that if you didn't manage to nail down the process in 24 years, it's probably time to publish and let someone else have a go.
Authentication is who you are and authorization is what you are allowed to do.

I have spent great effort writing a new software system that has no servers and no third parties yet still solves for authentication. It really matters less who a person is than whether you are willing to trust that person irrespective of who they are, because trust describes the relationship not the person at the terminal end of that relationship.

As for traditional systems, the rest of the world, you access a system with either a certificate or a username/password. The certificate is created by the server often based upon a key pair. In the case of a username/password the server stores a hash sequence of your password and compares that stored hash against the hashed output of a password you enter to login.

Once access is granted there are actions you are allowed to perform and actions you are denied. This is authorization.
> Drinking a dozen beers is (marginally) less dangerous than a dozen shots

It's easy to drink 12 shots in succession, but it's very hard to take 12 beers in a reasonably comparable amount of time. This is not a good comparison. It's obviously much easier to poison yourself with strong alcohol.
Considering the trouble everyone seem to have making the material and considering how few of the stuff they managed to produce, it's understandable that they're hesitant about breaking their sample into smaller bits.

If I were them, I would keep producing more samples before deciding to break some of them to get full levitation confirmation.

There must be some point at which the cost of the endeavor becomes greater than the profits to be made.
For now, it has become very likely that it is possible to make in this way a material that is strongly diamagnetic, unlike the usual diamagnetic materials, whose magnetism is very feeble.

It remains to be seen whether the diamagnetism is associated with superconductivity, because the diamagnetism could also be caused by paired electrons whose movements are restricted to small regions of the crystal, around the lattice nodes where atoms are substituted, and which are not free to move through all the material, to be able to carry an electric current through it.

Magnetic levitation can also be done with a few other relatively strong diamagnets, like elemental bismuth or graphite.
But given that Finland's neighboring languages (Swedish & Russian, the languages of the conquerors) are IE, wouldn't one (plausibly) expect to see an IE language atop a non-IE gene pool ? Instead one sees the opposite. So does this mean a strong link (of some sort or another) between Finnish and Saame (Lapp) ?
There is usualy steel reinforcement (rebar) in the concrete. Isn't introducing electrical current gonna cause galvanic corrosion of the rebar? Might even affect concrete structures around the capacitor, not just the capacitor itself.

Also if i understood correctly, this capacitor would need to be kept wet (with water) to remain operational right? Wet basement is extremely annoying thing with many unpleasant consequences to say the least. So this might require some efforts to maintain the moisture while keeping it contained.

How do you replace this thing? Eg. once cracks inevitably form in concrete, or when the carbon structure get damaged by accidental overvoltage/overcurrent, or when the insulation layers deteriorate. You cannot simply replace foundation of a building. Therefore it would make sense to keep the capacitor at least partialy separated from the structural parts of the building.

Anyway this seems as an interresting idea and i wonder if plastic bucket full of concrete would be enough to power something like UPS to provide 100W to keep PC running for 15 minutes. Might as well stop replacing lead acid batteries every other year if this is at least remotely viable.
I'm pretty sure that a set of commodity, heavy-duty friction hinges would slow the bucket considerably - perhaps not enough to stop you getting your fingers stuck underneath the bucket, but enough to stop this from happening before the majority of the water had been poured out.

I think it adds yet more moral culpability when making the installation safer isn't particularly expensive, complicated or compromising to its value. This isn't an exhibit where danger is expected or inherent to the observers' experience.
It just grinds my gears when the response to a simple question, that is meant to be addressed to a layman, is peppered with acronyms and complicated diagrams/graphs.

Unfortunately not hard to imagine because of the prediction markets.
Unfortunately the problem with electric aviation isn't the storage tech. Although having superconductors around would make the ground infrastructure nicer, if the current density limit works out.
Flying was not as expensive as I thought especially since I found a school that lets you pay by the lesson. Once you got your 40 hours, you can, without much restriction, fly general aviation aircraft (that you are type-rated on) wherever you want in the US at least. A non club price puts a Cessna at about $110-$160/hr wet (time engine is on, 100LL Avgas included). Expensive, but not so out of reach.
