I can’t even get people to make new web pages in a web app past year 1. Everyone wants to just cram new features into whichever page makes the most sense, and so average page load time just gets worse and worse because we still want ### milliseconds but now the page is doing twice as much.
On the other hand, when I leave London to visit Vienna or Berlin or Frankfurt and I see a dozen Germanophones standing motionless at a crossing with a red light for pedestrians, but there is not a single car in sight, I think what on earth is wrong with these lemmings, do they have no brain of their own?

There's a balance to be had, and I would suggest neither Germany nor Austria nor the UK has it right.

Never looked at it like that. My gut reaction when hearing about this first was a huge eye roll, ugh these babies, but now after you said that, hmmm, if it makes the car on the outside quiet...
I assume T&C only matters for licensed services (software), not for fully owned property?
And browsers need to add RSS/Atom feed autodiscovery and display (as the little feed icon in the URL bar) back to the browser. It was removed in 2018 by Firefox for no reason at all.
> From your viewpoint, it'll look like the singularity becomes an infinite plane that cuts off most of your field of vision.

You might need to elaborate because the singularity in Schwarzschild is not something you can spoke with a stick, let alone see. It is a spacelike singularity, meaning in this case that it lies in the future of any observer falling into the black hole. It is like death: It is certain you will encounter yet in the future, yet you don't see it.
I listened to this. He talks about language diversity but I never heard Rob Pike mention anything about Haskell or ML style languages and his opinions on that. He never commented on functional programming languages and the closest he gets to it is mentioning lisp.

The design of Go feels almost as if he doesn't even know about those ML languages and it feels as if he doesn't like FP. Of course he probably does know about ML style languages. But I would be very interested to hear his take on it and his opinion of FP because I couldn't find anything from google. Anybody know of any links to writings/videos where he elucidates his viewpoints?
> hopefully meta starts seeing the value of lobbying

The implication that Meta doesn’t see the value of lobbying is hilarious. You can read their policy for “Meta Political Engagement”[1] and see that they are already quite invested and savvy in this area.

Is Cruise offering to pay for the devices and retrofit them onto all vehicles? Or is the city supposed to pay for it as a gift to Cruise's bottom line?
Yes, the bug accumulation problem is better described as 'degradation'. 'Enshittification' implies deliberately introducing features that make user experience worse while benefitting only the owners of the platform.

Is someone keeping a list of features that qualify for the label? For example browsers like Safari make it very difficult to export bookmarks to another browser like Firefox, even though a simple json file would suffice.
Maybe a bit to extreme?

For first few offenses a few days in the stocks sounds reasonable, the second time we take an ear and for third offense you can pick between the gallows or being shipped to Australia.
I think in this case it's more to do with proportionally lower caloric input requirements for a given output mass of meat, although I admit I'm unclear on the details.

I wouldn't look too closely for a consistent ethical basis in vegetarianism and veganism, both of which require drawing an arbitrarily defined line between living things it's okay to kill and eat and living things that it isn't, and then treating that as axiomatic. I respect the motivation, but not the result - we all draw our own lines, but it takes an unreasonable amount of brass in a person to try to argue their line should be good enough for everyone.
Uh yea, probably should be sent to the state attorney for that bullshit.
That wasn’t legal advice, it was “this is probably how this will go”, advice I sure wish some “random internet commenter” had given me before my last run through the legal system.

Also, given the facts of the case as presented good effing luck getting a lawyer to “take it on contingency”. They only do that in the states if there’s potential for a six-figure payout
Man this reminds me of this trip I took to the Maldives as a kid. While spending time with locals, I learned the word "feyli," a term unique to their Dhivehi language. "Feyli" describes the feeling of sand between your toes as waves recede on a beach, a sensation familiar to many but so specific that English doesn't have a singular word for it.

Before being introduced to feyli I simply enjoyed beach walks as a sum of various experiences - the warmth, the sound, the view. having a label for that specific feeling of sand sifting between my toes made it stand out in isolation. Each time I walked along the shore, my attention would hone in on that particular sensation, heightening my awareness and deepening the experience. It felt as though that one word added a new layer to my sensory palette

Love how nuances in language can carve out niches in our perception, spotlighting elements of our environment that might otherwise blend into the background
"Absent any human involvement" - so open it in photoshop, add your signature, done. It was created by you, the computer scientist, with the aide of a computer program (like photoshop :D). IANAL. YMMV. See ruling for details.
Compartmentalization.

The article is looking at China specifically, but this doesn't seem to be a local trend (over-qualified labour with wages below cost of living) by any means.
Reasonable people can disagree as to whether that interpretation is valid.

No reasonable person can say that it is explicit. It simply, factually, is not. At no point in any version of the C Standard does the text "implementations can do whatever they want" appear.

I have no time for blatant and insulting dishonesty. We're done here.
This is not at all known.
Really cool! I'll consider it when launching my godot game.
Is there any plan to support "relayed multi-player", with the actual game server being one of the players, and rivet in charge of match making and making the bridge between the remote players. Like nakama : https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/concepts/multiplayer/rela...
Exactly, it’s such a mess. I feel like most of the “lawyer up!” commenters have never actually lawyered up.
Recently had a bad firmware version causing orders of magnitude increased NAND wear. Apparently took Puget Systems bugging Samsung about it to get a fix issued.

Nobody’s perfect.

I only have the switch for when there's an emergency or a print is going crazy and I'm too far away to go fix it. Pretty much the last resort option. I've never even needed to use it
When you see a paper like this, what, if any, path is there to seeking this kind of treatment? I know someone who would likely be interested in this, but I know from prior experience of my own that just trying to reach out to the researchers listed is a long process that can be fruitless. Is there an intended/better way? I know about clinicaltrials.gov, but that’s only helpful if there’s an ongoing study of the thing you’re interested (which is less likely if you’re reading about findings).
Same. I was an early Model S purchaser, and then got a second. I loved its zero emissions, responsiveness and safety rating, but Tesla's antics left me unlikely to ever be a customer again, and to be extremely skeptical for their long term success. Though I still hope for a major turnaround.

Both my cars did come with quality issued; the seat controls didn't work on my first car, and a tail light was out on my second. This is at delivery. That seems crazy on a 100k car, but it honestly didn't bother me too much.

My biggest motivation for buying an EV was to support and contribute to positive changes we need for the climate. It was galling to see Tesla buy a tranche of BitCoin, and felt like an absolute kick in the teeth. It made a complete mockery of the "zero emissions" aspirational tag. I realize that tag has never counted emissions created during production, but to pour money into an egregious emitter with negative social utility was bonkers.

Over the years, it was very concerning to see the "Full Self Driving" and "Robotaxis" lines so consistently promoted in a way that seemed to be to be an outright scam. I'm not a lawyer, but as a consumer I can't comprehend how massive fines or prison sentences have not followed.

But the real last straw was Tesla's woeful customer service. Everything is through a misanthropic app and when anything goes off-script, it becomes byzantine and kafkaesque. I had long long waits for replacement parts, but also a crazy situation where the Tesla team couldn't seem to process a payment from my insurer properly and then tried to hold my car hostage. I convinced the local service team to release my car so that I could drive it away when I showed them the paper trail, but resolving the situation so that Tesla did not think I owed them thousands of dollars took much longer. Twice I had to resort to physically going to a service center and politely refusing to leave until my issues had been sufficiently escalated and I had points of contacts who would respond to me. Every time I simply framed it as "This is a 100k car, and I think it's reasonable to expect to be able to talk to a person when things go wrong.". The Tesla staff were incredibly overworked, the lady dealing with insurance claims said she had 160 or so ongoing delayed customers. They were as helpful as they could be within the confines of the system, but it just seemed clear to me that Tesla's corporate policies were designed for a short-sighted kind of scale at the expense of customer trust.

As I said though, I really hope they have a major turnaround.
Yeah, i guess i shouldn't have said "bug" in the traditional sense. More like "lets rewrite the gpu calls for this game instead of getting 53 avg fps, they now get 60 avg fps) since we (being nvidia) knows it better.

Most likely when a game is released, the team that build it disbands to work ons omething else and wont have time for performance hacks like this.
> Nearly every Linux distribution, for example. What’s special about Rust in that binaries for dependencies are a problem?

The inability to opt out of running a non-reproducible binary library just to build code. This isn't just devs complaining, it's against several large orgs security policies.

> Also, for the “why” - is it just the very slow build times for Rust?

It's an initial build time thing. It makes no difference except after a full clean or fresh build.
Or "defaulting on technical debt".

That'd also play into the whole metaphor of technical debt.
Bash is already there. Also, if you really wanted something more powerful than Bash for a shell scripting context, Ruby or Perl would be a better fit.
Having a lot of users doesn’t make one a monopoly. Having the only way to communicate makes you a monopoly. People can type in www.cnn.com and get their news just fine.
There’s also the pop on gear shifts, due to killing the spark on gear shifts for a faster shift. The alternative is that awful dreadful rev-hang in standard transmission cars.

Many people care. If you aren't including a plain text version of your email, you aren't following email best practices.
Seems like it's the same app but Calgary has this too. The maps around the time of our big flood in 2013 are pretty interesting.
Has Samsung replaced the SSDs with little life left because of their broken firmware?
If you buy apples only later to realize you need oranges the apple project wasn't a failure. Part of running a business is trying what works. Now if you were unsuccessful finding apples than the apple project failed. The overall business might fail but the apple project went off smoothly
Fair point. It's on the introduction page: https://www.gethalfmoon.com/docs/introduction/#why-use-over-...
It took me a few reads to come to the conclusion that this was the meaning instead of opposing the law. It feels like in needs an extra sentence along the lines of "this law will also help prevent work-arounds of existing emissions regulations."
It's both actually and they are compounding.

For the latter one there exists tourist tax that could curb a bit the overflood but AFAIR it was harder to enforce / collect with Airbnb and short term rentals (as opposed to typical licensed hotels and hostels) that only exasperated the situation by pushing more people to try to cash on the airbnb

Hear hear! And they usually develop their own unique bugs than then increase the spaghetti-ness.
Yes absolutely. Not only that, but they run those stories through various state channels with the intent to propagandize...even to non-US/UK countries, and even via media like shortwave radio.

(While also actively jamming other radio stations in that case)
> Appearing as a fool, saying controversial things, getting rejected over and over again - that is how you get over social anxiety.

This works well, only thing is sometimes you start having fun with it and then you're always saying the wrong things but not caring.
Yes it is, see x86 example in https://youtu.be/yG1OZ69H_-o at about the 40 minute mark for a real world example
Proper spaghetti code, in my mind, has always been pre-structured code. Which generally means assembly.

C is rough to refactor sometimes, but it's nowhere near the kind of "push a couple return addresses and jump into the middle of a function" that used to exist.
There shouldn’t have been a lien on the title in the first place…
IMO this probably a fake story but if it’s not then whoever filed the paperwork to put a lien on the title of a car without there being any documentation of a loan totally screwed up.
The standards for ‘living wages’ are much lower in China and they have a very poor social safety net.

So, objectively they are in a far worse situation. The CCP has long quelled dissent by saying yes things suck but look at fas things are improving. As that breaks down they are in for problems.
Are you using Apple Private Relay? I think there is an issue with them and Cloudflare.
I don’t think it’s criminal to copyright something that’s not eligible. The copyright office should turn it down, and it would lose if challenged, but I don’t think it’s illegal to file the claim. I’d welcome info to the contrary.
It very much does this. The compile times are hardly a concern to the vast majority of rust devs in part because of that cache.
Tailwind may be madness, but it’s manageable and maintainable madness.

The alternative is not sanity, but simply unmaintainable madness.
Sane, but I'm greeted with a three-eyed avatar, lol.

White LEDs?

When I was young, I wanted tu buy a blue LED but it was too expensive. Now I have white LEDs everywhere.

Laser pointers are nice too.
Awesome. But what about the media posted after 2014? And when will they stop people posting new media, returning it to a text only site, forcing people to put at least some effort into trolling? It's easy to troll people into quote RTing you with images.
That's a catch-22, and it's exactly why followup is important. And why physicians should talk to patients, instead of just sending them on their merry way with a cheap CPAP and a shitty mask. "Here's a shitty mask and some random pressure, good luck, and remember to use it for 4+ hours each night and byebye."

If you're unfortunate enough to require a stoma, they don't just randomly attach a bag and send you home. You're sent to a stoma nurse. You're educated on the life changing effects of having to use a stoma. Your nurse will help you find a type of bag that's right for you and can help you deal with complications. But with OSA, we slap a mask on people and don't even tell them that there are dozens of kinds.

Now, I'm sure this all depends heavily on where you are, how shitty the healthcare system is over there, and even who you see at which sleep centre. But in general, CPAP would be very well tolerated if we could help people to optimize their therapy.
They have problems in Linux with autotrim, to the extent Ubuntu put trimming script into cron, if it detects Samsung SSD when installed.
I dislike some of the framing of the article. In particular:

> Valentini further inquired to the project maintainers, how were these new binaries "actually produced," and if it would be possible for him to recreate the binaries, as opposed to consuming precompiled versions. David Tolnay, who is the primary Serde maintainer, responded with potential workarounds at the time.

The article links to the response [1] as well, which is very good. However, the response doesn't provide workarounds. It provides clear instructions:

>> how is the x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu binary actually produced? Would it be possible for us to re-create the binary ourselves so we can actually ship it?

> By https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/blob/v1.0.177/precompiled/.... Yes.

When the article states that the library author only provided "potential workarounds", it sounded really shady to me, and I believe this is mischaracterizing the real response.

[1] https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/2538#issuecomment-1...
I'm pretty sure if the output of the code could be seen as deterministic, that is to say the code just makes what will be produced 1000 times quicker, then the work would be copyrightable but if the output is not deterministic then we cannot say to whom the copyright should belong.

In the context of international relations both Barack H. Obama and Donald J. Trump were treated equally regardless of their personal reputations in their official capacity as heads of state.
Funny i know about Proust from The Sopranos.
As someone that has set up a lot of NAS devices, we're talking thousands of disks over the years, I would not put my money on your statement.

There are a lot of simultaneous failure modes. HP had one in SMART firmware that killed disks at some fixed number of hours.

There are also temperature excursion events that can lead to arrays failing within 10s of hours of each other, not enough time to do a full rebuild of a single disk.

Seagate had really crappy 3/4 tb disks that loved to fail rapidly and nearly all at once.

I was reading about this yesterday. I really think the administrators should be prosecuted as well; they put the reputation of the (quasi-private) medical facility over the unanimous opinions of experienced consultant doctors, repeatedly refused to involve police, and demanded that doctors cease writing emails about it.

The administrators didn't commit the additional murders subsequent to the medical warnings, but they absolutely and knowingly enabled the murders to take place.
For all of the political huff and puff China and America are two sides of the same coin.
This is a problem borne from several factors. Horrible data policies that monetize every single thing that can be collected, overuse of things like CGNAT that complicate inbound connections, the "residential customers may not run servers" clause found in many ISP ToS, and probably some others that I'm not mentioning.

The combination of big government and big tech has normalized so many destructive corporate behaviors, that I fear we will never be able to fix the problem from within the system, nor will a successful revolution ever happen. Humanity is absolutely fucked, if we continue on the current trajectory. And no nation that has any significant influence is without fault. The modern "civilized" world is garbage for the vast majority of individuals.
We're very much stopping "thought pollution" all the time, we're not too great at it but the equivalent to someone forcing sound on you is someone forcing thoughts on you.

We have laws and automatic tools (again, not great ones) to find propaganda and lies and try to stop them. We absolutely should let people decide what information to be exposed to better.

Bees are sentient in at least two senses of the word (depending on the reading of “conscious”):

sentient

Having sense perception; conscious.
Experiencing sensation or feeling.
Having a faculty, or faculties, of sensation and perception.

The property humans have is reason. And yes it’s observably not always exercised.
The issue is that build.sh doesn't create reproducible binaries. You can run that, but there's no guarantee you'll build the same binary that ships, so you can't automate proof that there hasn't been a supply chain attack.
Why would you complain about it if you weren't using the platform?
If compilation is slow, use a binary cache or packages from your distro.

Mixing binaries with source code means the whole package is not FOSS anymore.

It is illogical to ship binaries for only part of a crate. Shipping binaries for the whole crates is much simpler and gives a much larger speed-up.

But ship the binaries separately from the source code.
I think the core thesis is that "do one thing and do it well" is about small components that are connected together.

The classic example is shell pipelines, but they are actually quite shit because they only deal with unstructured data (there's finally some work to fix that in Powershell and Nushell but it took many many years).

A better modern example of doing one thing and doing it well is apps that support plugins.

----

I think the whole "do one thing and do it well" is terrible advice. A "thing" is not well defined. It's equivalent to "don't have too many features" which of course leads to "how many is too many" and you're on your own.

It's one of those bits of advice like "premature optimisation" that is more often used to excuse thoughtless design than to motivate good design.
Your example helped me. I wasn't thinking of that.
Do they have a very poor social safety net?

I’m not disagreeing, but I’ve not seen a single homeless person in China on two separate trips lasting a couple months. I was in big cities and in rural areas. It’s only a personal anecdote but just wondering if your claim is actually objectively true?
