Plenty of research only last century was done in French, German and Russian: a friend is doing their PhD partially on the parallel development of climate science in English and non-English published papers - especially in Russian, for Cold War reasons, lots of work never seemed to cross the language barrier and was simply duplicated (or never appeared on the other side).
Amazing (or perhaps not!) how many of us are thinking exactly the same thing. I too have been disappointed by Apple too many times to believe in them.

I think of Apple today in the same way as I thought about Microsoft back in the 90s: "Can not be trusted."

I recently picked up a cheap sewing machine to attempt to make some covers for a foam mattress I cut up to put in the back of a truck for camping. Sewing is super interesting and a little intimidating to get started with, but once you get the machine setup and start making some basic things it's really rewarding. I'm still very new to the world but I find myself inspecting every sewn thing I pick up -- backpacks, bathroom travel bags, pillowcases, clothing, etc.

It re-orients your relationship to the construction of so many products that you take for granted. Everything that is sewn is up for repair or upgrades. It's a really cool hobby and if you have a tinkerers or DIY streak to you I highly suggest trying it out. Check out the MYOG reddit to get inspiration.
I did take break in those hours. Honestly it was tough to survive on 4 hours of sleep during weekdays. I usually slept in a bit on Sundays.

I would also recommend not to do it this way. It was brutal.
Ah, I meant "stack traces" in the system sense: Imagine a really deep chain of #[wherr]-marked functions. If I understand the crate's behavior right, when an error occurs in that case, you're effectively constructing a stack trace as that error bubbles up through `?` operators.

Now, maybe if the functions return something like Result<_, wherr::Error>, you could collapse those traces, but if you're returning Result<_, Box<dyn Error>>, that isn't possible (barring macro shenanigans).
Or maybe it will become more scarce and "valuable" due to behavioral changes.

Eg, if having a bunch of photos of a person is tantamount to having a bunch of porn out there of them, maybe people will become much more protective of their image.

Maybe they will react to being photographed in public in the same way they'd react today if someone tried to stick a camera under their skirt.

Maybe public figures will all just accept that this is going to happen to them, but it doesn't follow that everyone else would accept it. Maybe photos, any kind of normal photo, will be seen as a sensitive personal item you'd never willingly release to the public.

It sounds strange to say people will no longer allow photos of themselves, but is that really more strange than saying everyone will accept hyper realistic AI porn of everyone is floating around?

The problem with scala is that the core devs seem to be working against what the community wants. At it's core it's still a research platform for many and it shows in the priorities for what gets included in Scala 3. Also while individual open source libraries are generally very stable and high quality the overall ecosystem is very fragmented and there is lots of churn (cats vs zio holy wars etc.).
Not a poli sci expert so forgive if this is naïve, but if I were forced to make the policy my first proposal would be:

• Entities which receive more than half their funding from any non-human "persons" (corporations, other legal entities) or where more than 50% of the funding comes from the top 500 donors, or who have fewer than 10,000 unique donors (in the past 4 years) overall, cannot provide any funds to any candidate's campaign, nor run ads mentioning, hinting, or suggesting any candidate or party, nor any other BS shenanigans astroturfing PACs legally do today.

• The rest of the entities who don't fall under the above, still cannot make contributions, but can run ads, assuming the ad starts and ends with the phrase "(TRUE LEGAL NAME OF ORG) [supports/opposes] (name of politician, bill, or ballot measure)"

Politicians taking meetings and listening to ideas based on who is paying for their (re-)election campaigns is corruption. They don't represent corporations, they represent all of the people in their state or district. When they take a meeting from a campaign donor, they are saying that only wealthy people's voices matter to them. It's corruption. Legal and yet still morally depraved.

To summarize: People using a mere 35 TB in an unlimited storage plan are abusive and must be using it for cryptocurrencies!

What a terrible article. This really looks like a PR piece for Dropbox. It lazily attempts to associate paying users with the unpopular thing of the day when they should be investigating corporate bait and switch tactics.
You say this as a good thing... but as a data scientist that uses python every day I can assure you their "carefully curated set of third party libraries" definitely will not include most of the libraries I rely upon for my work.
"Curious" now means obnoxious and abusive?!

Storage space has a cost and network usage has a cost as well, now DB had to pay for petabytes of space for random data. Instead of something useful. Cool
Yeah but why a downloadable? Can't we use webrtc to achieve the same on the browser itself?

Anyone can get to know their own locality on this intimate level. I've been spending more time in my yard, and it's really incredible seeing the waves of new plants and animals arising and dissipating over the months. Yesterday I was watching the birch tree behind my back porch losing its leaves (much earlier than most of the trees around). The lawn has large colonies of plants that I didn't see a single specimen of last year. Different insects, mammals, invertebrates, and fungi all show up too.

I don't get it, if Dollar Tree sells basically everything for $1.25 the wholesale cost must be so low that corner stores have basically no room to save money by buying stolen goods.

Anyway, if there are really criminal enterprises doing this it seems like it would take marginal investigative work to uncover and nail down.

Author of the article here. I'd like to clarify that the article is meant to be about SQL databases only, although I enjoy reading the comments comparing SQL/NoSQL.

Also, "edge" means edge deployment environment/runtime like CloudFlare workers, Vercel Edge Runtime, etc. Not sensors, etc.

So I just did the bisect and I narrowed it down to this change:

https://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/info/609fbb94b8f01d6792e5941a...

This seems to have had a wider fallout, from there (thanks Fossil, cool feature!) I found the reference back to https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/64d36440e473516c, which reports another similar regression. Simply patching 3.43 to remove this cost adjustment doesn't fix the regression though, so I'll keep digging.

Edit: a workaround seems to be an ultra-agressive use of ANALYZE to give the autoindexing a better chance. Setting the analyze limit to -1 (unlimited) and forcing all pool connections to ANALYZE on close (i.e. not relying on PRAGMA optimize) does "fix" the regression the next time the service runs.

I've observed some negativity in this discussion, and it appears that many comments might be based on assumptions about Shimmer. While some criticism centers on how the service is worded, I think looking at the bigger picture is essential.

How many of these commenters have founded a business that has faced the level of scrutiny they're applying here? Have they taken the time to speak with someone who has worked with a Shimmer coach about their experience? I ask these questions because I've actually done so, unlike many here.

Since my diagnosis last year, I've been with Shimmer, and my coach has been nothing short of amazing. While I can only speak for my experience, I urge others to think twice before criticizing a service that many active users, including myself, rely on and appreciate.

I've even written a blog post about my positive experience with Shimmer, which I'd happily share. Discovering Shimmer was a pivotal moment for me when I was tackling a significant challenge, and it helped me gain the momentum I needed to start my own business.

Was Shimmer the only factor? Certainly not! But would I have made such transformative changes in my life without it and my coach's guidance? That's unlikely.

I was at a loss for where to begin, and choosing Shimmer was the right decision for me. So, I urge everyone to be thoughtful and considerate before leaving critical comments. Give those who use the service a chance to share their perspectives. I've witnessed Shimmer's evolution over the past year and the hard work they've put in to make their service valuable.

Let's honour that effort by engaging in a respectful and balanced discussion.

First you would have to shut down the softwood lumber dispute from the USA. Then you'd have to start rebuilding the forestry infrastructure that was mostly bought out and moved to the USA decades ago... What's happening now is sustainable, where it's still happening - just a pale shadow of what used to happen. And then there's huge spaces that are entirely inaccessible (no roads, no flight access, and hostile weather). Not saying it's not doable, just that there are a lot of barriers.
(note : I just live here, but the forestry I remember being involved in everything - good and bad yes - as a child has been gone since the USA started vacuuming all the companies doing it up. So largely have the jobs gone, too).

Promptfoo looks like it's mainly built for testing prompts and the API is framed around testing.

The readme states: "The goal: test-driven prompt engineering, rather than trial-and-error."

Which is an optional part of my requirements.

My company is investing heavily in interactive runbooks (their own impl) and while I kinda dislike the idea of runbooks in general this is a nice implementation.

Interactive Runbooks exist in some sort of tech-debt limbo where you have enough time to write a nice little runbook but apparently not enough time to properly automate whatever the task is. Ideally automation is easy and all change flows through a SDLC and you get all the nice things that come from that (testing for one). Instead companies build these cybernetic business processes via these adhoc notebooks to manually poke and prod production. This kinda made sense when they were these low-effort throw away things for rare events or short-term triage but now they're kinda-sorta code but without tests or reusability (or maybe you even further down the crazy well and write libraries and tests for your notebooks at which point you're really investing in the cybernetic operational model, and like, why?).
I have really enjoyed Scala for the same reasons. Has some escape hatches if needed, and a large ecosystem.

sbt drives me insane though, and is probably my least favorite part of the development experience.
Yeah, their code is a Dumpster fire. I'm not surprised you ended up in some circle of hell like that. I just tried to log into Threads with my banned Instagram account and now both sites just report HTTP Error 429, which I had to look up. (It's client rate limit reached)

Most languages have “precise garbage collectors” that always know from runtime type info which bits of an object are and are not heap pointers.

Sometimes you see add-on “conservative garbage collectors” that have to assume any word might be a pointer if it looks like an aligned address in an allocated page. They can’t move objects to do compaction because they’re never sure which words are not pointers.

Jacobin stores an object with a slice of its field values (each boxed as “any”) and types, so Go’s precise GC would be able to trace them: https://github.com/platypusguy/jacobin/blob/main/src/object/...

This is concerning:

At one point, when the founders suggested they create a version of the service that would adhere to federal anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer rules, the investors at the venture capital fund “dismissed the idea,” the indictment says. One of them allegedly wrote “it would be unlikely that as a fund we’d use a ‘compliant mixer.’”
We helped secure the bitcoin network and prevented our basement pipes from freezing around 5 years ago (Old building, new heat pumps installed for 1st and 2nd floor. The old basement steam boiler being removed lead to really low basement temps). Resistive heat was the only option down there. After improvements (water heater + circulation fan + insulation), we shipped the miner to a buyer from a hydro facility to burn excess watts for the rest of its life.

Don't hate on the BTC crowd, some of us also care about ecological load.
I guess I wasn't clear:

1 - Paper mentioned smoking and diabetes (the latter surprised me, though I hadn't thought of your example which is a good one).

2 - smoking increases CO to bloodstream, and nicotine. The latter stiffens the vascular system; the CO doesn't just damage it but is believed to damage the small muscles of the skin, leading to the pervasive and fine grained wrinkling.

3 - Acute diabetes also damages the microvasculature (stiffining and blocking) which leads to various problems like PAD; that diminished circulation makes the immune system less efficacious, so for example people get difficult to heal lesions and such that can lead to amputation.

My point in that regard was "huh, I can imagine that you could see signs of diabetes for similar reasons", though TBH by the time an ulcer shows up you probably have noticed other signs. But perhaps there are earlier traces for the non observant.

I wasn't claiming that diabetics and smokers would have the same external symptoms. I'm a diabetic nonsmoker myself, and largely wrinkle-free :-)
This stinks of hollywood accounting, like a lot of "negative carbon" plans for things that would otherwise be nonsensical for.

The premise here is that if Bitcoin mining uses an energy source that inherently captures carbon or methane, then it's "carbon negative?" This ignores the fact that the energy budget is shared. We could just as well use that same energy for something else currently on carbon-based sources. So, energy is still being wasted on crypto speculation - you've just fudged the total energy budget calculations by pretending it doesn't apply here.

Because it increases the cost.
Without this proof of work, users can be arbitrarily denied access due to overload.

With the proof of work, I think the assumption is that a legitimate user will be willing to accept a sufficient delay to make botnet DoS attack impossible.

The counter argument might be that the botnet can generate arbitrarily hard proof of work, but this isn't true. Assuming some fixed capacity by the botnet, and that the botnet needs to send some amount of requests per time in order for the attack to be effective (e.g., if they only send one proof of work request per minute, then the "bid" for the rest of the time is quite low), then there's some maximum effective "price" based on the capacity of the botnet past which a user is guaranteed access.

For example say a botnet has access to a million compute nodes, so they have 1 million proof of work seconds per second.

If there's a service which can serve 1000 requests per second, then the average proof of work seconds they have per request is 1000 seconds of proof, so as long as the user is able to provide 17 minutes of proof of work, they can get access. In reality, the user's hardware is likely more capable than the attacker's botnet (which is probably IoT devices etc.,) so the ratio is more favorable.

I find it amusing that this approach is pretty on brand for onion services, as an invisible hand type market solution from what I'd consider to be a fairly libertarian leaning group.
The analogy is nonsense.

This lecture by Jeremy England and the related Quanta magazine article, really added the missing piece to my world view! (1) Why does evolution happen in one direction only? (2) Why (and therefore how) does evolution happen AT ALL? (3) Life is about inevitably absorbing and dissipating a very small fraction of sun's photonic energy by turning it into information ( = complexity). THAT is also the reason why both are measured in Joules! (1 bit = 2.9 x 10^-21 Joules: LANDAUER Principle). I now look at the world (and bio-diversity) very differently.
What of it, though? I noticed, but didn't think much of it because pseudocode doesn't need to be valid and usually isn't. What is the problem with these syntax errors that you are trying to address by calling attention to them?

We faced a similar problem with consultants on an old AWS account that had become obsolete. A week of back-and-forth with support ensued as we tried to figure out how to close the account. The process seemed excessively complicated since the only way to remove the consultants, who were merely members and not admins, required them to add a billing method first. It felt unreasonable.

Ultimately, we were able to close the account with the consultants' cooperation.

I get your point that it's wise to remove consultants promptly after their contract concludes, and I agree. However, this doesn't take away from the fact that AWS's account closing policies appear to be less than user-friendly.
I freaking love new ideas like this! This is the beauty of computer science, anything is possible if you’re smart enough and willing to work hard!

I had the worst time with procrastination. I knew I needed to do a thing. I wanted to do the thing. I seemed pathologically incapable of actually doing the thing before it was in crisis mode.

Now I can see that a thing needs to be done next week, and hey, I don’t have anything else more pressing at the moment, so I’ll go ahead and start on it.

Unless you’ve experienced both sides of that, it’s hard to understand how people on the other side of it go through life. Me: “Am I the only person in the world who can’t just go what I’m supposed to do before it’s an emergency?” Everyone else: “He had 3 weeks to do this thing. How lazy must he be?”
