Maybe on an individual level it wouldn't make sense. But for instance, in my current company we have a fairly complex distributed architecture that's difficult to grok for new engineers.

Their middle-tier pricing option is about $350/month, so if you spend more than ~4 developer hours per month documenting/explaining/analyzing your architecture, then you've saving money with their product.

We definitely spend more than that so it would make sense for us. However, I'd want to see it visualize the infrastructure as well (we use k8s and terraform so in theory this should be possible).
There can be nodes with a single child. Otherwise an AVL tree would always have 2^n - 1 or 2^n - 2^(n-2) - 1 nodes. Imagine adding a node to a balanced tree with 3 nodes.
More precisely, "What you're asking is not worth what I'd have to give up."

Nothing wrong with that.

The governemnt forced banks to give out loans to people who couldn't pay them in the name of euqality. These banks sold the risk to investors as Mortgage-backed securities because banks aren't in the risk business but risk management: creating the Great Recession.

Trillions of dollars are given away to the poor every year in the US, with no expectation of getting it back.[0] Adding "favorable loan terms" on top of this will literally lead to the exact outcome you are describing in 2008. We can debate the bank bailouts, which I think is worthwhile, but comparing them to personal loans is naive.

HADAR: New Method Allows AI to See Through Pitch Darkness Like Broad Daylight
It's perfectly clear.
Most people don’t get over 50 to 100 hours in any game, regardless of how fun the game is, so players dropping off playing a single player game after they’ve finished the story is pretty much normal, even on highly replayable games.
For the same reason you don’t brush 10 times a day. It isn’t significantly more effective than once a week and we all have better things to do.

You should justify the need and you can be audited.

Also, I do a tooth cleaning, 1 hour work, 100 euros. I do an implant, also 3 hours of work. 1800 euros. What is the reason?

Wouldn't make more sense to do 10 implants at 800 than do 1 or 2 at 1800? I don't get it.

One of the dentists I used to go told me that he was no longer doing implants because people won't pay for them. Of course!

If it is a full minimum salary for 3/6 hour of work. Charge something reasonable and people would do it.

We are in 2023, a dental implant can no longer be considered a luxury. It is crazy.

> the coalition isn’t bound together by American power but by common interests

We can test this theory by looking at instances where coalition members' sovereign interests conflict with Washington's interests. Who ultimately gets their way?

There was an analogous study done IIRC in the late 90s where policy interests of poor vs. rich Americans were compared. In virtually every case, the rich/powerful people got their way, despite the poor constituents having vastly more democratic power on paper. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone living in America.

I believe it's the same story for this Western nominal "coalition". The cases where Washington compromises on its interests are rare and not conceded without a fight. Did Germany really consent to its pipelines getting blown up by another coalition member? Is it really in European interests to suffer massive economic blowback from sanctions? And then Washington's interest gets rebranded "common interest" without much investigation.

The bottom line is that elite-aligned liberals (in the classical sense) like the author are blind to the machinations of power. They presume a priori that the status quo is natural, structural and broadly consented to, rather than imposed through the vast and tireless efforts of an enormous, mostly-unelected power complex (media, financial, military, intelligence) based in Washington DC.

...and that power complex is gradually collapsing, partly because of these ideological blinders which hamstring action.
Hmm interesting. I guess consider me confused then too. I don’t get how a crpg has this much appeal. I’m not expecting this to be substantially better than divinity 2; which isn’t meant to be an insult any way.

A non-obvious reason for using PUSH/POP instead of a loop could be to generate as many different bus cycles as possible.

We get instruction fetch, memory read, memory write, and probably idle -- and an I/O write (0F0h). We should get the idle cycles because PUSH/POP instructions are single-byte and require a little time for decoding and the 286 BIU fetched 2 bytes at a time so the instruction buffer should get full.

Maybe they wanted that on top of the delay (which is obviously there because they didn't want to use the FWAIT instruction) -- maybe some 80287 chips had internal state machines that could get confused and needed some help?
> it's way nicer to just turn the machine on and have he the game start near instantly (quite a feat btw for games mostly running on slow Z80 CPUs and the like).

Depends on the game. Some start pretty fast, but others do a lot of loading (hard drive or optical based games often load the whole thing into ram on boot), which isn't unreasonable given the typical use case is start in the morning and leave on all day and leaving on 24/7 wasn't uncommon either. And a little bit of delay isn't even noticable if the CRT needs to warm up anyway. If you have a slow booting game and you can savestate after boot, emulation might be much faster startup than real.
I've inherited a similar bit of code that kicks in right after pivot (of Linux boot) and tries to disassemble and clean up whatever storage was concocted by the previous steps during boot, and then proceeds to assemble it using some user-supplied layout.

The code is awful, but, really, if anyone's to blame, it's the Linux people who never cared to systematize and unify system's understanding and representation of storage.
Am I the only one who wants an Apple Watch without the whole health hardware?
I have an Apple Watch ultra. It's bulky but it is made to last so ok. But the health stuff I don't use. My use case is: leave my bulky brick iPhone at home but still enjoy digital life - payments, messaging, apps and music on the go. It works great - but I have to ignore the bulk that I don't use.

How come nobody makes a watch that has LTE, payments, App Store integration - not only Apple - without the health tracking - which would result in a nice slim, normal watch that does not bruise my wrist if it's too lose or my arm if it's too tight :)) you know like a normal watch experience?

Is there no market for such a thing ?

This kind of post is why I do not understand C++ programmers whatsoever.

The author is just focusing on this aspect bc that’s this case, but there’s multiple ongoing. E.g. there’s one about monopolistic practices in the online ad business.

Specifically here:

How does Google lock out rivals? Well, it pays $45 billion a year to have distributors refuse to carry its competitor’s products, signing deals with “Apple, LG, Motorola, and Samsung; major U.S. wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon; and browser developers such as Mozilla, Opera, and UCWeb— to secure default status for its general search engine and, in many cases, to specifically prohibit Google’s counterparties from dealing with Google’s competitors.”

The fourth son of the landed gentry...
Not the parent, but the gate keeping is coming from you. Your question, assuming good faith, was simple:

"When was the last time a AAA game was truly fun to play?"

The comment in reply answer the question.

You then preceded to gatekeep by redefining what "AAA game" meant but dismissing the ones listed out of ignorance.

I can think of numerous AAA games that are fun to play. the first one that came to mind was Elden Ring. I know others that while I didn't play, others loved, such as God of War.

Rather than ask a question and start dismissing answers, gate keeping what "AAA game" means, instead accept the fact that there are numerous AAA games that have been released this year alone that people are having lots of fun with. That doesn't take away from smaller, indy titles, nor does it mean AAA is without fault.

tl;dr: Stop gatekeeping with ignorance.
Classic old Lisp doesn't have the problem of long words: it has mostly short words like atom, cons, car, cdr, array, ...

Then, eventually, along comes Common Lisp with symbols like multiple-value-bind and update-instance-for-redefined-class.

I made a dialect called TXR Lisp in which most of the important symbols in the standard library are deliberately quite short, to avoid this readability/writability issue.

Lisp code often avoids vertical breaks within sections in a function, because many constructs nest, and so the nesting and indentation separates them already, like:

(while ...
...
(let ...
...))
(while ...

It's like point form:

- abcde

- jlk
- mn

Even on windows I find Msbuild,dotnet,csc,etc... so ugly and frustrating to use. MS is one freaking company and its tools have little consistency in their interfaces. How do you run the tool? Just msbuild.exe , oh no, that is too easy. You have to search program files and then program files (x86) and use the absolute path. How do you use the tool? No consistent help flags and even when there is you still have to look up online docs half the time (and each subcommand has its own page?). I lost track of how many times I just needed to build a small project and was forced to install like 10GB+ visual studio crap.

Please don't use visual studio to build your solutions if you are writing a cli app.

Their complex xml formats for solutions and projects are markedly inferior to makefiles imho! Mingw is the way for windows cli.
You could probably claim it was only worth like €50 or something in that case.

I can't believe I didn't know this before, but seeing that Medium runs a partnership program just made me realize why I often associate the site with being low quality. I will encounter it in search results, often around data science topics. The posts are usually poorly explained, with important details omitted and code snippets that don't work. It felt like the author was just padding the content out but now I can understand it; they were trying to meet metrics.

> Earnings will be based on more meaningful metrics.

It seems they've put thought into this so I will assume the best intentions here and hope that this does result in better quality!

It must be tough to decide on this because I can imagine that Substack too has eaten a lot of Medium's lunch, and a typical kneejerk reaction would be to doubledown on attracting views over quality.
How is it highly contrived? Its generic household chores, who does them for you?

> Are you suggesting they're a reasonable justification for a $14K annual public subsidy per household (TFA)?

Yes, i would take those numbers with a grain of salt but yes. If you remove roads and cars neither the goods nor people you hire will get to you.

At that point you are left with just leaving for somewhere else and starting the whole 'defund public infrastructure we rely on' campaign all over again - it's shortsighted at best and borderline malicious.
It’s sarcasm demonstrating the absurdity of this article.
> You deposit $1 with the bank. The bank now has a liability to you of $1, and deposits the $1 with the bank's bank (often the central bank)

This is not how it works. You deposit $1 with the bank and create a liability. The same day, another branch makes a loan and creates new deposits from thin air. At the end of the day, the bank figures out its reserve position. If it is short, it borrows reserves from other banks.

Loans precede deposits. Always.
So in order to have an opinion, you must play every game that ever comes out, regardless of whether you enjoy the genre, the franchise, or even have the console required to play it? And you think that's not gatekeeping?

It's a secondary effect. De-regulation of flight costs and routes cause airlines to cut as much "percieved unnecessary" expenses to maximize profit to the point of where they are now - bare bones staffing, ancient IT infrastructure, paying for luggage or even in-flight bathroom use!

This is actually amazing. I’m not a person who loves food: I’ve lived or stayed in two dozen countries and I just eat whatever seems simple, mostly chicken, eggs and salads.

Although initially I was curious and adventurous with food, I realized I just don’t care much, with very few notable exceptions, like Pad Thai (which I’m pleased is in this cookbook!).

I’d love to see a variation of this cookbook that isn’t 90% carbs. Doesn’t have to be Keto, just not pasta-pasta-ramen-ramen-rice-rice.

A lot more boiled/fried egg-based recipes would be great, or something with canned Tuna / canned Chicken, I guess, if we’re aiming for no-planning recipes that use practically imperishable ingredients.

Japan’s economy arguably collapsed in the 90s. Perhaps burst and stagnated is more accurate ever but its a semantic game at that point. No one knows if China’s economy will collapse but there are lots a serious and unique risks.

I live in the US, and I'm pretty sure everyone I know has a landline, though a good number of them are now digital/fiber/whatever. Some people I know still have multiple landlines, as it's cheaper than paying multiple cell bills if necessary. I know at least one person who used to have call forwarding set up to get calls on their cellphone, but with the current state of marketing calls they probably don't do that anymore.
Why do you think that Apple doesnt do that?
> Changing the signature is a breaking change and as such should have a higher amount of friction.

Why?

I'm all for very rigorous static type checking. But if we can make refactorings and changes frictionless — let's. Having the ability to move things around and reorder them to work better results in more iterations and better code.

As long as each iteration is very rigorously type-checked, of course.

Meet Gorilla : The Language Model That Can Interact with Over 1,600 APIs and Outperforms GPT-4 for API calls

Gorilla is an open-source project, created by Shishir Patil, a PhD Student in ML systems at UC Berkeley.

It’s based on Falcon and MPT, two powerful language models that have been fine-tuned for API integration and usage.

Gorilla can parse the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) when writing code, resulting in semantically and syntactically correct API invocations. This means that it can significantly reduce hallucinations and incorrect syntax, which are common problems for other language models, such as GPT-4.

Some dentists are the worst - they're no better than used car salesmen, and sometimes they are worse than that. Just shady and questionable businesses that try to extract the most money possible from you, and in some cases they will lie to do it.

I moved cities a few years ago, about an hour south of where I used to live, and I changed my doctor, my mechanic, but I kept my dentist even though it's a 1.5 hour drive in rush hour traffic. It's worth it. There's plenty of dentists around my new house, and I tried one of them and it was awful. I went back to my beloved dentist in the old city and I'll never look for another one. They don't ever try to recommend work I don't need, they find and fix real problems not made-up problems, and the prices are very reasonable.

Once you find a good dentist, keep them forever if you can. It's too bad your old dentist sold the business, that would be devastating for me.

That's interesting because I find home cooking to be very expensive, if you value your time. Cooking for one, the marginal difference between the price of groceries vs eating out is easily outweighed by the time cost of shopping, food preparation and cleanup. Of course if you enjoy cooking it's a different story.
I'm having an intern start in the fall to work on integrating IWYU into the kernel's build system, kbuild.

One major deficiency in IWYU that we will have to solve is that IWYU only understands post-preprocessed sources.

If you have preprocessor guards for some code (as is done extensively in the Linux kernel) IWYU can recommend changes that break the build for other configurations than the one used when running IWYU.
I don't know if Tesla will kill incumbents... but I do believe the ICE vehicle setup will kill them.

When Apple dethroned incumbents, hardware-wise there was negligible difference between the devices; sure some supply chains got miffed but it was nothing the incumbents couldn't accommodate. Software and Product philosophy is what killed them, and that's a discussion for another day.

But will ICC vehicles, the hardware (and associated employee and supply chain setups) is SO dramatically different that if they attempt to switch to EV and actually compete, the dead-weight would sink them, so they just can't compete.

So they try to half-ass at both segments, and still barely float.

Meanwhile Tesla and other pure EV companies have no legacy burdens, and as long as they can achieve the core task of being an actual functional company, they can succeed regardless of the competitors' own situations, purely due to their lacking the deadweight.
