>> "she was just 17, if you know what I mean" I used to cringe

took about 25-30 years to make men feel shame for something that was completely normal for thousands of years prior.

I see so many men, usually on reddit, completely lying or somehow brainwashed that thinking the beautiful girls they saw in highschool suddenly become disgusting or 'children'.

I can't help but think it has something to do with the western population decline.

Is it possible progressive and feminist ideology influenced women to have kids much later, when they are less fertile, and pressured men only to date this age group? I know I sound like a andrew tate or right wing maniac (especially to those redditors described above), but I can't help but wonder
it has no error handling. also look at the API, what a joke:

It's quite funny. In the Big Ten unversities (american midwest) it's too late for Ohio State to undo the ongoing humor of "THE Ohio State" because everyone already for decades mocks it as funny and won't let it go.
Multiple times it mentions that "guess culture" is frustrating and difficult, and that she and her brother prefer ask culture because it's easier.
This is good. Small stakes gambling on slow markets is much better than sports gambling
That's cute and all, but it's fucking gzip. It doesn't have complex dependencies.

Pretty sure Linux could run a 30 year old gzip binary too. I've never needed to do that with gzip but I have definitely run binaries of a similar vintage without issue.

Windows backwards-compatibility fails miserably on non-trivial programs, you're generally pretty lucky if you can get something from the XP-era or older to work out of the box.
TSMC would not have opened this plant in the first place without US political pressure. to force them to come set up shop and then mock them for it is quite the microcosm of American arrogance
Permissions; if logs aren’t properly locked down that doesn’t mean everything is available.
You do know red hat contributes far more to upstream kubernetes than suse/rancher don't you? You know they helped google open source it, don't you? Rancher certainly got the jump on red hat for lighter weight deployments, but to claim that it is more kubernetes than the red hat offering shows you don't actually understand what you're comparing.

i'd like to know more about taking a nix build from dev to qa to prod and what that process looks like.

I know it's just a git commit in time but what does the process actually entail. How are 'artifacts' moved between teams and worked on?
I've only used MacOS for a year and only recently (maybe that matters), and I get all the same crappy inconsistent behaviour I do on Linux and did on Windows ~20 years ago when I last used it.

Apple has the benefit of controlling both hw and sw and still manage to mess it up.

Random crashes, slowdowns for long running sessions, crappy UI (eg those labels not checking their checkboxes in Settings), network weirdness (both USB ethernet dongles/hubs and internal WiFi), my USB audio interface picking up garbled audio which requires reselecting audio interface for it to fix itself...

Maybe I am doing something different, but it's even worse than Linux for the most part.
Yeah, thanks so much for fucking with our city's perfectly working taxi industry.

There's more to the world than NYC
Ok mister smarty pants. How do you create a program for Mars colonialisation without first solving the problem of price to LEO launches.

You act as if there was some short cut around that. There isnt. So your argument just fundamentally doesnt work.

What would SpaceX invest in refueling if LEO is all they cared about?
Just savior complex. You don’t have to be white to have it
What part of my comment is not evidence based and where have I resorted to ad hominems?
Because the feature doesn't work without it?
All software runs in Linux VMs, so it is practically the same as running several Linux operating systems with a nice UI.
Why do you come here and tell lies?
I would honestly prefer a move back to individually owned and moderated forums compared to the world of subreddits and hashtags we live in.

Best of luck with the new board!
I'm curious as well, especially when considering humidity.

Here in Colorado we've had two summers of historically high humidity. Last year humidity rolled in, the prairie greened, and then later the rains came. This year, the prairie has been green all summer thanks to rain and humidity. We've never had humidity like this so I never realized how important humidity was for plant growth. I had always given rain more weight than it deserved.
Yes travelling wave tubes are still very common on modern satellites. They tend to be used most on high power (>50W RF power)/high frequency (K-band and higher) systems. I don't know the exact rationale, but for space systems in the higher frequency and power regimes travelling wave tubes are still more reliable than solid state power amplifiers. Traveling wave tubes are still in the 40-50% efficiency range so they're not out of range with efficiency of some solid state devices as well.
The reason for leaving integer overflow undefined was not primarily because of one's complement machines. It was for loop optimization.

Consider
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_WIDTH; i++)
out[i] = in[i + offset];

Assuming that i + offset, &out + i, and &in + i + offset do not overflow allows the loop to be cleanly vectorized without checking for wraparound.

The compiler developers in the 80s were trying to come up with rules that didn't require C to be 5x slower than Fortran on scientific applications, and dealing with the consequences of a[i] being equivalent to *(&a + i).
It can be more moderate than that. "what is wrong honey?". "Nothing, I'm fine". Which can either mean, no really I'm fine, or if you don't know, you obviously don't care about me, or you know exactly what is wrong and don't pretend otherwise. I've been both parties in that conversation, and over time I have learned that ask culture works better between close friends and family. That doesn't mean I'd consider it abusive though, just a non optimal communication strategy.
How would you propose to achieve better oversight?
About 10 years ago when I wrote C++ for a living, vendoring was the solution. When you look at flatpak, snap etc. that's effectively what they do.. vendor all their libs.

I would hope that tools like conan and vcpkg solve this now on the developer side? I don't have much experience with them though.

You still have to deal with libc though, which means you likely need to containerize to avoid issues with old versions or distros that use something other than glibc (musl or bionic, for example).

It's a lot more complex with C/C++ to build fully static binaries than it is in something like rust or GoLang.
The main reason you would want short user sessions is if you can't be sure whether the end user device is adequately secured.

For example, if you're building a banking application, there's a huge monetary risk in allowing someone to potentially leave an open session on an unlocked shared computer.

Is this something that we could resolve with browser standards, for example the browser being able to provide some kind of a hint about how well secured the end user terminal is? Not cryptographic remote attestation or anything, just something simple like a header or API that would return some basic information such as whether the user has a screen lock with password enabled and whether the computer is a shared device or kiosk.

On Android, there is the KeyguardManager.isDeviceSecure method which provides this sort of functionality.
I’ve also heard that the following trick still works: enter the email address no@thankyou.com with any password, this account has been tried so many times that it’s been locked out, so the installer will let you continue with a local account
You can easily have both .env and types. On any TypeScript project you can just pass your process.env through an io-ts, zod or similar library and keep it in a side-effectful module which validates on first import and keeps it globally available.
I don't remember enough CS theory to make heads or tails of this, but I'm just curious why post it here for review rather than taking it to a CS department somewhere or sending it to a journal for review?
@atomicnature how do I follow you when you write detail about above books?

Surprising that at the point when it crossed 100mb there was no-one on the team who raised any concerns. Perhaps this was a case of boiling the frog?
Indeed rural vs. urban is another divide across which such differences are observed. People from big metro areas are usually more blunt than in the surroundings. Probably because people there usually come from diverse backgrounds, but "guess" culture requires the opposite to work.
Agreed, but is it about the way you use online banking or is it about security? I think it's interesting to consider because at the point where "security" starts to impact UX, you have to really scrutinize the difference between what's actually making an impact on your security and what's just theater.
This is why people who put "C/C++" on their resume don't usually know either language. In C++, integers are defined to be two's complement now, so that check is acceptable.
Your understanding of Dart sounds a little outdated. We have a fully sound static type system and the language is pretty expressive, especially with the new pattern matching stuff in 3.0:

This only delays the problem.

Killing off the animal husbandry is a short sighted solution.

Vegan's are measurably weaker.

Children raised on a vegan diet have worse heart health, weaker bone structure and a shorter stature.

There is an evolutionary reason we're omnivores.

Veganism is a religious belief and rightly has no place in these conversations.
I feel you. Some "guess" people are unable to just state what they want because they think it places a burden on the other person. But keeping your desires hidden creates an even larger burden! Just tell me what you want for dinner!

I play a similar game with my wife. Whenever we have a hard time choosing something, I present 5+ options, and we take turns eliminating one option until only one is left.
I just wish we had an IC that loved America more than its own power.

Yet time and time again we see these orgs are full of corrupt, evil people.
It really isn't optional as a C developer to turn on warnings and get your code warning-free. This will eliminate the most common unbounded behavior issues, like uninitialized variables, though unfortunately not all of them.
I think the main takeaway is we probably should not put too much stock in a linear-time-invariant-cumulative model of radiation mapping to cancer risk. Sure it's the easiest to calculate, but that's the streetlamp search fallacy.

It's far more likely that the shape of the radiation dose curve matters quite a bit on how the body responds. E.g. the difference between 10 discrete 1 Gy events, vs one 10 Gy event, vs 10 Gy absorbed over a year.
You would feel at home more as a cloud native, because everything runs in its own VM, spun up and down on demand.
It might be an overkill if you need too big efforts to switch. I did not feel that way. The independent VMs for different workflows even helped to organize my work.
Autocanibalism is the only unquestionably consensual and ethical meat.
give me something with ts’s type system and without exceptions and try/catch. i know go’s error handing gets shit, but i really like the explicitness of it.

oh and burn npm to the ground please.
The various US airlines, who partner with health insurance, certainly have access to this data. Cancer frequency, time in-flight, time in stratosphere, etc. Frequency of these things (or a subset) likely affects the rates.
168mb holy crap!

I'm glad he got to the real issue at the end. Doing a full big bang rewrite with no deliverables for 8 months. A classic waterfall project.

Maybe the react rewrite was the right call at that moment in time, but there were a serious of huge mistakes that led them there.
The Apollo capsule didn't have a fuel gauge, either, because nobody could figure out how to make a fuel gauge work in weightless conditions. Various schemes failed. The solution turned out to be to have a reserve tank with enough propellant in it to do reentry. Then when the main tank ran dry, you knew just what you could do with what was left.
Oh for sure.

I guess except for rare exceptions, allmost no one really wants to be alone by default. But I know that I am rather alone, than in bad company.. and I met quite some people, who lived in misery, because they were too scared of being on their own for some time.
Yes. You would not say the lead car collided with the other in a rear end collision unless it was reversing.

> Typical scenarios for rear-ends are a sudden deceleration by the first car (for example, to avoid someone crossing the street) so that the driver behind it does not have time to brake and collides with it.
Does anyone make a small car that safely seats 6 people with adequate storage space for doing a week worth of grocery shopping or luggage for a weekend trip?
Well, not long ago I made an in-browser WYSIWYG mouse-based diagram designer. I redefined a huge share of the default browser behavior.

It was also the first SPA I made, in a career of decades. I also think I do not regularly use anything that benefits from being an SPA (I don't regularly use that diagram designer either).
Better put, I'd say that I would hesitate to characterize a cultural preference for either directness or indirectness as akin to the kind of abuse a narcissist deals out to everyone around them.

The argument is easy to construct in either direction, but in no case adds anything of value to the conversation.

Too, claiming that abuse is "just a cultural thing" offers both abusers a convenient excuse for their actions, and everyone who isn't abusive but does share traits of whichever culture an undue indictment.
I don’t understand why so many people in these comments are claiming text editors are “hard” to learn.

Software engineers that went to college have taken Calculus, Physics, and other advanced courses that can be very hard for many to learn.

The reality is that memorizing a few keyboard shortcuts is not in fact hard. It’s something that can take time, and you might not like the shortcuts, but it’s not hard.

If you want to use powerful tools, you’re going to have to learn how to use them. There’s no way around this.
I drew a line on Figure 1.

https://i.postimg.cc/3r6vgz5s/cancer-lntm.jpg

I was careful to ensure it was horizontal (y = 308 px, thanks GIMP). It is apparent that cancer rates at 60, 120, 180 mGy were higher than at 240 mGy. This may raise some questions about how to interpret the data.
That may be so, but all the annoyances I have with windows don't seem hardware-support related. The laggy menus, the clock in the taskbar that slides to the right outside of view, etc. This can't possibly be related to the fact I have a shiny, brand-new Wi-Fi card.
During most of human history, most of the humans have lived under an internal regime of self-deception, confusion, incoherence and foolishness within themselves.

The Chinese statesman, Han Fei, stated in 300 BC that if one searches through the whole of China of the day, one will find maybe 10 real scholars, 10 truly honest men. One cannot make a government out of 10 men. There are many jobs to do, therefore some sort of solution is needed, and the wiser heads come up with something... not optimal, but something that doesn't collapse (for the time being). The fools are many, the wise very few.

When Rickover tried to instil real responsibility into parts of the navy, the majority thinking turned against him and worked against him most of the time.

When Lee Kuan Yew tried to make something of Singapore, there were a thousands of obstacles in the form of natural habits of the common people. He gave them high rise buildings, they took their goats and cows right upto the tenth floor. He gave them elevators, they urinated on its floors, despite having detectors.

People are mostly embedded in popular culture, decorating themselves and their thoughts in superficial ways, but ultimately living mostly at the lower end of human potential. The habits of thought they carry are no better than the primitive man, except at the superficial levels.

The material advance of civilisation has not helped the state of affairs; it has made meaning far more difficult to attain than before, forcing simple people to live within a complex world totally incomprehensible to them.

Thankfully for the species, having 10 wise heads for millions of mostly foolish heads "still works" for the time being.

Humanity has somehow survived this long, so something must be going right, for this thing we call civilisation. One often wonders though, for how long?
Not true, as the post explains.
You do get higher radiation flying - but you are also surrounded by off gasing synthetic materials and receive frequent exposure to engine exhaust and get disrupted sleep due to hours and changing locations.

So in other words, there’s a lot of potential causes.
Bullshit. We all know that the only reason for this is, is to justify Angel killing weapons. I'm all on board for that actually.
Sorry this is off topic but I'm trying to talk to you about Macrosolver because I created something similar. Can you email me at the email in my profile.
A "runtime type system" does, meaning something like io-ts or zod.

It also allows statically typing and transforming env strings into much more useful and complex structures.
For sure. We often drive robotically, with our minds on a conversation, a podcast, or a daydream. That makes it easy to think a robot could really do it. But then there are the moments where driving requires our full attention, our knowledge of the world, or our ability to quickly read social situations and social signals.

As the article shows, a system that works 99% of the time won't cut it. Ditto the recent story where a robot car drove into wet cement. Or a zillion other edge cases, some of which will be fatal.
Recently and unambiguously, Elon Musk made illegal changes to the facade and signage of Twitter/X's building,

Sure, end the chicken tax that prevents things like the Toyota hilux from being imported.
Probably makes sense to add HDPE+boron radiation shielding to the entire cabin. Or the simpler one, just don't fly as high.
Wow, this strongly resonates with me, especially the tieback to Asian cultures. I was both told many times, and shown by example many times, that it was rude to put someone in awkward positions. I still carry that to this day in personal relationships, and my wife (white, US-born) doesn't understand why I don't just ask for things from our families/friends, often going to great lengths to avoid questions.

However, at work, I am definitely an "ask" person. I'm in engineer that has spent a lot of time with sales people. "Make them say no" is a mantra I use at work. It's more forward, more aggressive, and American corporate culture, often necessary.
Well, this works only for AWS. For Azure, there's Bicep (which is just francy wrapper), but I need more than just AWS - I terraform GitHub, Cloudflare, DataDog, Opsgenie, etc. Terraform is not dead, Pulumi is way too commercial; I believe Terraform fork is imminent - the core team of HashiCorp was stuck for years and this needs to get out of their grip, which was focused only on monetizing the overly expensive TFC!

For example, dynamic providers has been the hugest pain! They don't care to fix it, because their foundation is so flaky, it requires tons of work. In the hands of the community, which doesn't care about making TFC catch up with Scalr, Env0, and the numerous other cheaper and mostly better alternatives, this will be accomplished way more easily.
I've been force fed vegan food under false pretenses by multiple vegans for "my own good". It is increasingly common to peer pressure people to convert to veganism. The marketing of these products exploits these attitudes.
Would you have a code example to help clarify this in my mind?
Correctness can come from the programmer in ways that performance cannot.

We usually aim for correctness, and in small programs we often achieve it 100%.

100% maximum performance is rarely achieved in a high level language.

If you try hard at absolute correctness, you can get there; not so with performance.

So, obviously, that must mean performance is harder than correctness.

If you turn a performance aspect of a system into a correctness requirement (e.g. real time domain, whether soft or hard) you have hard work ahead of you.

In programming, we often make things easier for ourselves by sacrificing performance. Oh, this will be executed only three times over the entire execution lifetime of the program, so doesn't have to run fast. Thus I can just string together several library functions in a way that is obviously correct, rather than write loops that require proof.

That said, if you have certain kinds of correctness requirements, C becomes verbose. What is easy to express in C is an operation on inputs which have already been sanitized (or in any case are assumed to) so that the operation will correctly execute. It's not a priority to make it convenient to do that validating, or to just let the operation execute with inputs and catch the problem.

E.g. say that we want to check whether there would be overflow if two numeric operands were multiplied. It gets ugly.
Someone’s gonna come and say that linux has that too, and while technically true it’s quite hard in practice.

The kernel abi is stable, everything else is pure chaos, and this is mostly due to how applications are usually packaged in linux: your app could load (as long as it’s not in a.out format) but then would fail at loading most libraries. So effectively you need a whole chroot with the reference linux distro (or other runtime in general) and I’m not so sure you could find archives of 30 years old distros.

And I’m assuming that the kernel abi hasn’t actually changed a single bit and that no other interfaces changed either (stuff like /proc or /sys - /sys wasn’t even there 30 years ago i think).

And if you’re running an Xorg app, I wouldn’t bet my lunch on that level of protocol-level compatibility.
This is why we have the strangler pattern, it's not just for backend apps. Start small, tackle the biggest risks first, deliver incremental value.
Which part of the "click print, cut or rip out a corner, put it in your wallet" a nightmare for a normal user? (I'm not one, can't judge.)
I've been fascinated by the fact that electricians have a 2x greater risk of brain cancer than the general public. There are probably tons of environmental effects we're discounting / not modelling.
There are other methods than RAG over vector database; you can use basic TF-IDF or even full-text search to find candidate paragraphs and put them into the context.
To be clear, they are not the words to the song. There is no “if” in there.
It's one of those things I keep thinking I'd like to try but actually implementing it seems like it'd be a huge pain in the posterior at first.

Am I wrong about that?
