For MLB that is a feature not a bug!
The only time I've gotten a ticket of any kind in 30 years of driving a car is because of a left turn light on an empty highway that steadfastly refused to turn green. Pulled up, waited, waited, waited, through multiple cycles of green in the other directions. No cars passed by. Ever. Finally, after five or six cycles, and at least eight minutes of time I went "f** it" and made the left turn, with no vehicles in sight in either direction for the entire time I sat at that light in the middle of nowhere. And then a cop car tucked away on the side of the road lit up like a Christmas tree. He knew. Taking a nap, and making quota I am sure of it.

Agreed. Reading is an active process, in interplay with your life experience, your worldview, and ideally, your character. You can go broad with extensive reading, and simply become well-read. But I find those who go deep, and eventually focus on a single book or author, far more impressive.

if you train a model on modular arithmatic, it can only learn what's in the training data. if all of the examples are of the form a + b mod 10, it isn't likely to generalize to be able to solve a + b mod 12. a human can learn the rule and figure it out. a model can't that's why a diverse training set is so important. it's possible to train a model to aproximate any function, but whether the approximation is accurate outside of the datapoints you trained on is not reliable, as far as I understand.

different hyperparameters can give a model that us over or underfit, but this helps the model interpolate, not generalize. it can know all the answers similar to the training data, not answers different to or it
It's less about visa status and more how dispensable you are in the company/org. Many people here won't admit it but most companies will run perfectly fine (sometimes better than before) after firing 10/20/50% or more of their staff (and that includes managers and executives). It's really on you to ensure that you have leverage in your current position, otherwise you will spend your entire career at the mercy of incompetent managers and power tripping execs.
>Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch that people would be able to use a little critical thinking when looking at computer error messages too.

Users' critical thinking skills can be fine, but sometimes they choose not to apply them for things they don't want to think about. That's totally normal if computers are outside their purview or they just want technology to work.

No small amount of people just take their car to the shop and don't try to interpret the errors. Knowing when to make your users think comes with the product territory and knowing your audience, and also considering "how important is surfacing that error detail, really?"

If you want the dirty secret for why, it's because we can be lazy about things we don't care about and/or critically thinking about everything is exhausting and sometimes you have more important things to do. They just want it fixed.
Definitely going to reference this fact next time I run into a bug due to an accumulated round off error.

This might be the relevant quote:

> The police found the minimum speeds to be essentially unenforceable, observing that drivers were passing more on the right, a quarter of all motorists didn't even notice the signs, and 13% of citations issued for minimum speed violations indicated that drivers confused “minimum” for “maximum.”

Striking, IMO, that their conclusion was "unenforceable". That might be the main take here: California highway patrol obsesses on some rules and just plain doesn't bother with others. So in practice there is no risk to grabbing a lane - any lane - and acting as if you own it.

I did a trial of Apple TV+ and MLS Season Pass in May, which was about 2 months into the MLS season, and I cancelled within 20 minutes. The UX of the app is terrible. I didn't want to watch live matches but wanted to watch previous matches in the season but in order to do so I would have to find the match on the screen and then click on it and then scroll down and click a button to actually watch the match. That doesn't seem too bad except that on the thumbnail of the match they show the final score and then when you click into the match before you are able to actually watch the replay they show the final score. It took the whole purpose of being able to watch previous matches away. I am sticking to watching NWSL on Paramount+.

The `subst` command provides an easy way around that. Link the last folder somewhere closer to the root, to make longe-than-255 paths accessible. Then, when you're done, remove the link and your files are protected from pesky things like virus/malware scanners.

In my country rugby is declining and football (soccer) is increasing in popularity. I would imagine MLB has little growth opportunity in the USA, unlike soccer, so they have little incentive to improve the experience.
This comment makes no sense. The competition is mobile Chrome, which has no extensions, and mobile Firefox, which has only a limited number of chosen extensions. Literally from the linked article:

All the more reason for companies to choose software that a governance body owns, such as Apache and CNCF.

A trajectory question: how much has Hashi been steering Terraform? Given that companies, especially those who offer Terraform as a product, have been using Terraform for so many years, they should have enough expertise to develop on the current version of Terraform without upgrading to the ones with BSL. Of course, sadly Terraform as a single product would diverge into many variants.

Unlimited isn't the worst possible vacation situation, but it can definitely be bad depending largely on your boss.

I took a job with "unlimited vacation" at one company and then AFTER I started my boss "explained" to me that "Unlimited means 4 weeks here." About two months after I started I was moved to a different team new boss. My new boss (same company) had clear deliverables and said, "Unlimited means Unlimited so long as you hit your deliverables." Glad I was moved to a new team.

I have a similar setup with SFF running backups & ProxMox. However, I have smart plugs for my SFF and have a script to turn it on/off using cron (or on demand) from an always-on Pi. Wake on LAN would have worked too.

I'm considering making my Raspberry Pi the gateway proxy/"Load Balancer" to the SFF; turning it on if needed. It's trivial to proxy HTTP (Pi works as a Caddy-based proxy with long timeouts, powers on SFF in background if off. Things got trickier for proxying NFS & iSCSI)

Hey me too and I fully agree! Nebula is super underrated in this market space. I use Nebula to connect my primary datacenter rack with a bunch of dedicated servers and VMs all together on an overlay network. This makes it easy for me to add Nomad client nodes quickly in different parts of the world and everything just works.

I actually use https://defined.net for a managed Nebula experience and it makes everything super easy to get going and the team is super helpful with the few issues that I have run into. The free tier is super generous with up to 100 hosts for free and you don't need a credit card to get started. I highly recommend checking it out.

Ray – an open source project for scaling AI workloads
Yeah, but even stepping back there, lawyers are paid to prevent companies from entering those muddy waters as a risk to their profits.

Profit isn't a concern to someone who wishes to publish open source software, in fact you could say Open Source is an inherently socialist venture (your socializing the tools/means to do something).

The AGPL3 makes it more difficult for others with probably more means to profit on that work, so it's a net benefit to the folks who actually write code (and a detriment to those who would wish to exploit it).
Yes it is. But there is a reason. I'm being paid a lot of money because the company finds value in what I do. If they play dirty tricks, I can either fight - and unionizing is one of the ways to do that - or just quit. There is nothing in unions that makes them somehow exclusive to low-wage jobs. FAANG, on the other hand, will vehemently fight against unions - and that's telling.
Great article, I feel like the quality of Slate has declined significantly in these past few years, so much so that I incorrectly remembered reading this much earlier than 2019.

Thanks! This is an informative answer. By "hogs" I have no specific number or anything, it's just that when I run 3 IDEs (electron apps) at the same time my computer slows down.

This depends on your area, and your ISP.

If, say, you use AT&T and you need Internet for your job (WFH?), redundant Internet is crucial. It's not exactly "minutes" they are out. (Their outages states are often "meh, we'll get around to it in a day or so", figuratively)

If you live in a rural area, even more so. You're not high priority for fixes in the first place. (And AIUI, the author lives somewhere in rural Texas)

Do you need to run it as high tech as that? Probably not. My alternate Internet is my cell, tethered. (And if that breaks e.g. during travel, yes, I have a second cell with a separate provider, because heaven forbid the US had consistent cell coverage)

And most of us probably don't give a damn about e.g. 1,000 year photo retention. Or many of the other things he's doing. But it sure is fun if it appeals to your personality, and you can afford to keep it running.

You don't normally use public key encryption in satellites, it is some sort of block crypto. CCSDS (a bunch of standards for space applications that is quite popular in the industry) recommends AES-HMAC for authentication and AES-GCM for both authentication and encryption.

My experience with a LEON processor ~100 MHz is that it is hard to get much throughput out of an AES implementation.
This is exactly how I use typescript, as a linter and static type analyzer for javascript. Unfortunately, typescript support for JSdoc is quite basic. So that method has its limit. But I'm not committing any typescript code.

Someone here just suggested to import type definition files with JS doc annotations, and that's actually a good idea.
>Using computers is a skill. It takes study.

This is an opinion that, on a personal preference level, I share. It's not, however, a universal truth. An optimally useful computer should be a human interface to information or control of something. The best computer is one that interprets a messy human command, produces the information or action that the human actually wanted, and requires no training at all to use.

Such a machine would be anathema to me, personally, but it would be objectively the best possible general purpose computing device.

As has been pointed out elsewhere in the comments, this is incorrect. The switch to BSL does not mean you have to start paying Hashicorp to use their formerly OSS products in production. To quote their FAQ:

I watched the last Dallas/Miami match on AppleTV because it was free. No MLS subscription required.

I do have to say — I watched one baseball game and one MLS game so far, and the commentators are 100% the worst. Constant conversation, constant drivel and often not about the game proceedings. They must’ve said “the best ever to play the game” about 1000x in 2 hours.

I won’t ever pay for sports from Apple just on that point.

This has been my “grumpy post of the day”.

I've voluntarily paid for carbon offsets for every flight I've taken since 2018 or so (it's a checkbox on the airline site I use most), and the added cost to me is really minimal.

And yes, I do realize carbon offsets are sort-of a scam, but willingness to pay for them is sort-of a signal as well, and it's the best one can do, I guess? I also realize that commercial passenger aviation is not a significant polluter, percentage-wise, and that the industry already has incentives to improve their carbon footprint (simply by reducing fuel demand), which it has been readily taking advantage of as soon as it was feasible (737-NG is very much a thing, as are similar Airbus upgrades).

But still, 'polluter pays' is a sound concept. The global (water-based) shipping fleet would do good to take notice...
There was a lot of detail in your posts, which is appreciated, but also, I think, some mistaken assumptions about MOND or those pursuing alternative avenues to LCDM. For instance, it's a common misconception that MOND researchers are asking anyone to abandon GR, when really it just needs you to abandon the strong equivalence principle:

> I wouldn't want people to mess with something floating on top of my house.

I understand the sentiment but it sounds like you may have a misunderstanding of how orbits work here. Even if a geosync satellite were positioned exactly above your house, nothing could ever make it "fall down" onto you. Anything that brought it closer to Earth would make it not a geosync satellite anymore, and I strongly doubt any geosync satellites have enough fuel left to de-orbit entirely (geosync is far away!)

For low-orbit satellites, sure, they can (and are designed to, eventually) de-orbit, but nobody can hit you with it. The debris breaks up in atmosphere and tiny pieces (with a few larger, actually dangerous ones) are scattered randomly over hundreds of square miles of what is most likely the Pacific Ocean.
On my Cascade Lake processor "-mllvm -x86-cmov-converter=false" almost halves the performance of the binary search:

|-----------|------|-------|-------------|
| slow u32 | 23.4 | 46.7 | 45.8 |
| fast u32 | 18.1 | 19.8 | 31.4 |

The numbers are nanoseconds/bsearch on a 100mb uint32 array. Seem to me that clang (15.0.7) is just much worse at optimizing this particular piece of code than gcc (13.2.1). You can see the assembly here https://godbolt.org/z/cbx5Kdjs6. The gcc assembly looks way cleaner to me.
Greta Thunberg has been right all along in this - the only sustainable way to travel as frequently as we’ve become accustomed to is by boat. I love cheap and convenient world travel as much as anyone, but it’s a guilty pleasure being so obviously unsustainable.
nextflow can't even get this right- base nextflow uses some combination of `--paramName` and `--param-name` and treats them as interchangeable, while nf-core encourages `--param_name` (but nextflow sees that as different). All trivial differences but just layers on the CLI frustration train.

.ONG was new to me:

"The PIR simultaneously applied for the top-level domain .ong, which is a similarly recognisable initialism for "organisation non gouvernementale" in French, and equivalent terms in many other Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian." [1]

> Being able to tear through the source code of something to figure out why it's doing what it's doing is valuable even if you never make changes.

Yep. I've definitely noticed this at work with some proprietary ('open-core') software that we use, and it's made me inclined to prefer source-available proprietary products over more restrictive proprietary ones as well. It's not as favorable as actual F/OSS, but it definitely makes a bit difference nonetheless.
