Because it’s beautiful. Where else can you ski and go to the beach on the same day? Or be in hours proximity to not just one, but three world-class national parks within a day-trip from some of the largest and most metropolitan cities in the world? Add on the fact it’s got one of the best climates in the world, no mosquitos, and no humidity…

The funny thing, even if jobs left, a large amount of people who live here won’t. The land will just always be inherently desirable. A large contingent of people will always refuse to give that up. And if enough people leave at once such that real estate crashes, you’ll just see people move back here, because they can afford to again. So too with jobs— they go where the people are, not vice versa.

Whereas say, Detroit collapsed due to the auto industry leaving and white flight to the suburbs— California is #1 in the tech industry (SF), #1 in entertainment (Los Angeles), #1 in biotech and pharmaceuticals (Orange County / San Diego), #1 in agriculture, #1 in shipping (Los Angeles), #1 in military (San Diego), #2 in energy… This state simply can’t collapse from just one pillar falling. And again, unlike Michigan, there is no coastline in the US that is as near as desirable as California’s to live on.

I don’t live here because it’s affordable, or particularly well-run, but because I have family and friends here and I could not imagine living anywhere else.
One of the main places I see idioms in other languages is in dealing with containers (and there are some very nice ones). Python in particular, but others too. Slicing, splicing, iterating, mutating, map-reduce etc. etc.

While I wouldn't say no to having such idioms available in C++ as language constructs, it is important that C++ continues to provide the lowest level that it can for such tasks (e.g. pointers into arrays or other buffers), and probably the level right above that (libstdc++).

Similarly for threads (or more generally, parallel and asynchronous programming) - some other languages make available some really nice idioms for expressing these things, but again it is important for performance and control reasons that C++ continues to provide the current lowest level of access for this (basically a wrapper around pthreads). While things like promises, futures and coprocessing are really useful, they are often inappropriate for highly performant code.
Tailscale is the new hotness.
https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/sampling/ describes it as Head/Tail sampling, but in practice with vendors I see it as Ingestion sampling and Index sampling. We send all our spans to be ingested, but have a sample rate on indexing. That allows us to override the sampling at index and force errors and other high value spans to always be indexed.
A New Take on Software Code Security: The Open Source Consumption Manifesto
That's fair. I find that to be a bit subjective anyways, so I don't have much to comment on there. Most languages are pretty lightweight. For example, initializing instrumentation packages and creating some custom instrumentation in Python is very lightweight. Golang is far more verbose, though. I see that as part and parcel of different cultures for different languages, though (I've always loved the brevity of Python API design and disliked the verbosity of Go API design).
> So no matter how the courts rule here, it'll be about wording at best.

That describes just about every civil court case in the world. The law is all about interpreting the meaning of words. Whether Tesla misled consumers into thinking their car could do more than it was capable of is a very important ruling, and will set a strong precedent for the entire self driving industry.
What reason do you have to believe that the author was not rigorous in coming to his conclusions?

What "peer-reviewed" journals or publications of you read which have made a serious investigation into "demonic possession" to convince you that the author has no idea of what he is talking about?

You sound like "authoritative" government institutions stating that "UFOs don't exist". Forgetting the fact of "how can they be authorities on a phenomenon that doesn't exist"?

I can only link you to my earlier comment which isn't going down too well here.

> I find it rather amusing how people who attend educational institutions teaching the scientific method that were setup by the Church go on to criticize Church views that don't agree with an outlook arising from their education.

>Don't they believe that the same officials of the religious institutions which setup the educational institutions they attend were and still are perspicacious enough to judge whether demonic possession is real or not?

Void is not a good example for you to point out. Rust's interpretation is correct: The unit type () is what most functions should return. The void type has no valid values at all, which means it cannot be returned. It is other languages that are wrong for using the term void. The actual void in Rust is called never: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html .
They actually did show an improvement of all-cause mortality for one of the screens (corresponding to a 4 month increase in life expectancy), and "insignificant" improvements in others.

(The headline is probably technically true, but I think it is intentionally misleading and disingenuous.)

Did you actually confirm what you wrote before writing it? Because every word of what I quoted is in that article.
> Users want application developers to design applications for them, not use the browser settings to design & customize the application

True, but web devs tend to do such a poor job of it that being able to use browser settings to try to mitigate that is very important.

But the underlying point isn't even that. The underlying point is that the browser is a user agent and as such, should have the last word in terms of how the content is being presented. If a browser is making a poor choice, then the beef is properly between the end user and the browser maker more than between the web dev and the browser maker.
I wonder why they are using the term "consumer satiation hypothesis" over the more common "predator satiation".

For the record we're on the same side here.
A VPS paid monthly isn’t “cloud”. It’s just a server.

“Cloud” tends to assume elasticity, pay by minute, managed software services, etc.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that you and your Scrum Master peers were all top of the class and genuine in your understanding of development and desire to help facilitate project success and never acted in a self-interested way. That's a fairly big assumption, but let's roll with that.

And maybe, a really solid big-tech company with great people who "get it" can largely make Scrum work "well enough". I'm sure you oversaw a lot of products shipping successfully.

Was that because of Scrum, or in spite of it and you might have been even more successful doing something else?

Overall though, I think you recognize how Scrum might devolve in many typical situation, right?

PS: To make it clear, no disparagement is intended in anything I said or say even though the consequences of that might seem like an attack on your profession.
Or in a river ?
Swearing at them that they're wrong: good.

Meadhbh's Law
""The value of any technology is inversely proportional to the number of syllables in its name.""

(Initialisms and Acronyms should be expanded out, so GNU (GNU's Not Unix) has three syllables making it relatively useful. Or you could interpret it as an infinite number of syllables since it's a recursive acronym. Which is on-par with corporate America's opinion of the (L)GPL.)

As an example, if someone tries to sell you a "Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management" system, that's 12 syllables. So look for a "User Management" package instead, that's only 5 syllables.
OpenTelemetry is primarily definitions of protocols, APIs and semantic conventions for instrumentation data (traces, metric and logs, in decreasing order of maturity).
OpenTelemetry also ships the Collector, which is like a patch-bay accepting many different data formats and sending on in more formats.

Grafana Agent is a bundling of a bunch of things for collecting instrumentation.
The idea is to simplify deployment and allow opinionated setup.
The Agent can upload to Grafana Cloud, or to any compatible backend (all the basic components are open source).

In particular it bundles Prometheus Agent, which does metrics collection from anything Prometheus-compatible but not queries, and OTel Collector.

It also bundles Promtail for logs.

(I work for Grafana Labs)

FWIW we sample in datadog APM and it works fine to control costs, I'm not sure what issues you hit.

Didn't really seem that vituperative to me. Seemed like he's really frustrated with a bunch of events tangentially related to Jill, gets emotional and could have been more respectful. I think he probably owes her an offline apology but I don't think this a reason to discount this man entirely.
Speak with your doctor about this, especially because I am not one, but from what I understand, the ones that you have a family history for, are pre-diposed by environment, the common ones, and the ones caught by usual body checks / tests during check ups. Again, not giving advice but things you can start a conversation with your doctor with.
He can't respond if he doesn't want to engage in a flame war. I'm a dog on the internet, he's the dev of a project he's pushing that is trying and failing to build a reputation as someone trustworthy.
If you don't see how it helps you, you probably don't need it. Either because it's not a problem you have or deal with, or because the site doesn't flag up anything with you.

These features are nice, but I've never liked the idea of having to use a whole new terminal application to get them.

I may be becoming a dinosaur, but it's not that I'm not willing to try new things. On the contrary, after many years of being rigid about having one true development environment, I've moved away from Emacs to VS Code, and work from more heterogeneous environments instead of being 100% Mac. So these platform-specific thick client apps no longer feel like the way to go.
Yes, and if you perform dozens of tests per year on the general population, and take action based on the results, then the probabilities add up pretty rapidly.
You omitted the bit before this, which is crucial context:

P.S. Oh, but you bet I replied to that Bosnian scammer. After poking around on his "europedataprotection.com" site using dev-tools, guess what I found? You got it, network requests to fonts.gstatic.com

Instacart – Profitable yet with Real Business Concerns
Let's see:

* A bunch of local to regional to national groups already exist, so find and enlist them.

* Now's the time to streamline the living environment, round any sharp corners, and so on. If Braille is in the mix, consider a Braille label maker.

* Strike while the iron is hot: balance training.
Yes, the "C++ is not usable on its own and needs other tools" defence of C++ :-)
You can do head-based sampling and tail-based sampling.

With head sampling, the first service in the request chain can make the decision about whether to trace, which can reduce tracing overhead on services further down.

With tail-based sampling, the tracing backend can make a determination about whether to persist the trace after the trace has been collected. This has tracing overheads, but allows you to make decisions like “always keep errors”.
Yes the secondary stack is this thing that make many (most?) heap allocations inexistant in Ada. So when you're talking about memory safety to an Ada dev as if it was the biggest pain, they might look strangely at you.

Yes indeed, heap allocated pointers are a PITA but we don't use so many of them. In 16 years as an kinda embedded dev on multiple MLOC codebases, I can count on my fingers the times I had to reach to pointers (and unchecked_deallocation) and didn't have a safer alternative (usually Controlled scoped pointer types, but also containers, indefinite types, and if really stuck reference-counted things if really you must murky the scope - but I'd flag the last one as 'need to show why you can't just copy the data around' at code review...).

Not saying it's not missing but I wish we spent more energy on automated proof of absence of runtime errors, large-scale whole-system static analysis, and even more stringent runtime or compilation checks. And better tooling/language support around network, threading, and distributed processing, improved test and coverage tools.
TMftF heavily hints and at times outright describes the existence of secretly funded UN blackops missions that target and assassinate people in power with strategic importance. It's been a few months since I read it, but if I can recall, it also described it's connection with ostensibly grassroots eco-activist/terrorists.

Submarine accidents not withstanding, I'm not convinced the UN in our current timeline could be transformed into one that engages in this behavior.

So I think I'm agreeing with you these large battery packs sound almost too dangerous to be sold as consumer products. Are there any other examples of consumer/household products that can fail so dangerously and that have not been recalled or banned?

There are things such as space heaters, heating pads, kitchen appliances, etc. that have been known to start fires, but at least if you're in the room with them you can probably react and extinguish them if you have water or a fire extinguisher handy.
There are some people who have eaten previously frozen mammoth meat and the universal feedback is that it’s disgusting but I’m sure that’s more because it’s been frozen forever

It seems like cities spent so much time building themselves up as places where you had to live and not where you want to live. The knock-on effects of people no longer working in downtowns (restaurants which served office workers, retail serving people who got a house/apartment near the office drying up) would not be as pronounced if downtowns were just naturally good places to live in, but they're not.

The most common reasons I hear that people move out of the city once they go fully remote is:

1. Price. Cities have become way to expensive to live in, especially big ones like NYC and SF.

2. Crime. Crime has risen since 2020 and many feel their city officials are doing nothing about it (see the recall of Chesa Boudin in San Francisco). Those with families often flee to the suburbs

3. Homelessness. Some cities are plagued with homelessness, and some downtown areas have had their sidewalks turned into tent cities (this relates to issue #1 and #2).

4. Noise and environment. This is not universal, since many cities developed differently. But some cities focused all of their infrastructure on roads and car-centric development, which has led to loud neighborhoods with lots of traffic going through them. Loud engines and honking can make the city a very stressful place to live. Additionally, a lot of cities are really lacking in greenery. Where I lived in the suburbs was full of trees and grass and plants. Where I now live is like concrete hell. There are other, older parts of the city I live in which have a nice tree canopy over the sidewalks and streets that give the city its southern feel. Other cities relegate all nature to designated spots in public parks, where some people don't feel safe due to #2 and #3.

I think if cities want their downtowns to thrive again, they need more of a selling point than "you work here, so you have to spend your money here". The 15-minute city movement, zoning and housing deregulation, and the push for more public transportation can turn mid-size American cities into the great places that they used to be, and people will choose to live there
I agree with this, but have a note about what the second major should be.

I went into mechanical engineering because I had a great natural understanding of basics physics, materials, design, mechanics, blah blah. Even UC Berkeley engineering basically taught me things I knew or would have easily understood it I had to lookup that specific thing. I learned very little from my mechanic engineering degree.

I ALMOST think people shouldn't go into a major based on their strongest aptitude, but I'm not sure yet.

But definitely 100% add another focus since you'll probably breeze through the main course work.

But I dont think it should be philosophy or art or calligraphy like Jobs would recommend. I wouldn't pick a second major that would be a foolish main major.

Pick something that is a hard skill that is useful to learn and understand.

Maybe electrical engineering. Maybe industrial design. Hell, I think tons of people would be well served with what they learned with a second major in accounting.
You still have to write boilerplate to return them, though :-( But I agree it's better :-) Unfortunately, I'm on C++11 for this project, will be on C++03 for others :-(
You can slowly work towards braille without overtly using braille. Adding some sort of unique tactile feedback to spice jars for example. While you can certainly add a braille label to them, you can also just use embossed jars/lids, or stick multiple nibs to the top (1 nib = salt, 2 nibs = pepper, etc). Getting them used to tactile feedback being a good thing to look for can go a very long way to accepting that braille is an enjoyable next step.
I guess you should do more work in Zoom then.
That's still just the value of what the collectors market will pay. You down own a share in MLB with the card
Happy to help! I can also recommend alire (alire.ada.dev), the open source package manager for Ada. It can manage your toolchains for you and makes it very easy to get started and create new projects. It works well on M1s.
I responded to the post where he said "There were no outrageous claims".

"V can translate your entire C/C++ project" is an outrageous claim because it wasn't true then, it isn't true now, and it doesn't appear it will ever be true.
it actually has nothing to do with individual patient health. The reason why 'we' don't recommend it is because we want to spend money and resources on others. Its about cost. providing the cheapest treatment for everyone so that you 'maximize coverage'.
This is the kinda stuff I love, I spent weeks learning how to get a Macintosh Classic online so I could use it as an IRC client. Unfortunately it didn’t last long as the CRT flicker drove me a bit mad, but it was insanely fun project.

And there's more than one culture that applied that rule to us.
I understand the comment's thesis, but I'd like to see more accurate numbers used where real health outcomes are concerned.

The lifetime risk of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer is ~4%. (With the odds trending higher for the younger generation.) The risk of _death_ from this cancer is ~1%.
I once noticed the thing is people balk at the line length in fortran as if it is some archaic hold off (which it is somewhat) that proves its obsolescence but in the next breath berate everyone for not using a formatter that will chunk lines into 100 characters in their favorite "modern" language. I guess the problem is fortran chose 80 as the line length and not 100.
>But for the most part, it looks as if the “Barbie” movie’s celebration of diversity and the message of female empowerment will be overpowered by its association with the atomic bomb — and that the movie won’t have a positive, lasting impact in Japan. What a shame.

One possible angle was that Barbie's fantasy world is a product of a post-nuclear USA. I thought that maybe there was no Japanese love for this period in American history, but apparently, I was wrong:

https://japantoday.com/category/features/travel/Johnson-Town...

https://www.heddels.com/2014/07/japan-love-mid-century-ameri...

Although I suppose it's possible that opinions have changed since those times. Personally I don't really have any direct exposure to Japan, but I see the anti-American sentiment in works by some of my favorite people in their animation industry (Shirow Masamune, Kenji Kamiyama, Hayao Miyazaki).
I like to think that, unless there's a plan to open it, forgetting about it is just fine, if not the intent of a time capsule. Makes opening it up all the more exciting.

Putting it in the base of a statue was also smart, instead of burying it somewhere or encasing it in the foundations. Somewhere public and obvious, but still hidden.
Rust doesn't have those decades worth of libraries and tool development baked into it. Nor does any fairly new language.
Nope, it's all about identity now. If you say you are, then you are. No medical conditions or diagnosis required.

For example: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Lj4V-Nme86U

This is most of the reason why it's become so controversial in recent years, because law and policy are being implemented based on this, rather than the previous, medicalized understanding.
You can absolutely run LLMs without a GPU, but you need to set expectations for performance. Some projects to look into are

* llama.cpp - https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
* KoboldCpp - https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp
* GPT4All - https://gpt4all.io/index.html

llama.ccp will run LLMs that have been ported to the gguf format. If you have enough RAM, you can even run the big 70 billion parameter models. If you have a CUDA GPU, you can even offload part of the model onto the GPU and have the CPU do the rest, so you can get some partial performance benefit.

The issue is that the big models run too slowly on a CPU to feel interactive. Without a GPU, you'll get much more reasonable performance running a smaller 7 billion parameter model instead. The responses won't be as good as the larger models, but they may still be good enough to be worthwhile.

Also, development in this space is still coming extremely rapidly, especially for specialized models like ones tuned for coding.
The original lines may be from the private era but JNR also built a lot.

The Saikyo, Keiyo, and Musashino Lines in Tokyo were all built by JNR. So was all the Shinkansen. And all the main lines around Tokyo were quadrupled or sextupled by JNR at great cost. And let’s not forget the feats of the Kanmon tunnel to Kyushu, the Seikan tunnel to Hokkaido, and the Great Seto Bridge to Shikoku.

Tokyo Metro and Toei are also state-owned, and private operators directly benefit from the through operations into the Yamanote loop.
