In case you’re wondering what Lua does in this case, it has a special syntax iff the sole argument is a “table” (core dict/array mix) or a string:

f {1, 2, a=3}

is equivalent to

f({1, 2, a=3})

A function f(t) receives an argument t in both cases. This makes a good use for DSLs by reducing ()-noise.

It doesn’t have **kwargs in pythonic form, although it has varargs syntax. But all parameters are strictly positional and don’t self-pack or self-unpack in any way.

So this inspiration is pretty far from what happens there.

I find it much easier to install a web app from the website than having to find anything on the App Store. There’s nothing easier, it’s only 2 taps when browsing the website, at least on Safari. The process is exactly the same as in iPhoneOS 1.0, when this was the only official way to get applications.

The problem is not that it’s difficult, it’s that the share sheet got bloated and should be completely rethought.
Of course you'll expose them. It's not a risk, it's how things work.
A complementary idea is that just because gen ai could be used to violate copyright, as in if some of the example outputs here turn out to be legal violations, it's existence doesn't. Using song lyrics or website content to learn about the structure of grammar or the relationships between words has nothing to do with copyright, and for most LLM end uses, that's what's going on. The fact that it incidentally knows about copyrighted works means that at worst, a "bad actor" could use it to make a copyright violating work, just like I could release a bootleg copy of myself singing whatever pop song I've memorized. But these are hypothetical, it only makes sense to worry about violating outputs when they are actually produced. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36807408 for a related discussion

With Wundergraph, you define schema first. This generates types and hooks that you can then use on the front end. The production API is not a GraphQL API its Rest I believe.

Graphweaver also generate types and react hooks for the front end, when running `graphweaver watch`. But Graphweaver is a GraphQL API and that is deployed into production. We wrap GraphQL Codegen and also do our own datasource introspection. More on that in this article:

Which is no doubt absolutely true—but on the other hand, the cardboard isn't the valuable part of the drone.

Oh sure, if there are new ideas. But I do not think that there are better ways than a scientific method i.e.: trying out and evaluating evaluating new ideas against reality. The Accelerate book is all about evidence based suggestions on what high-performing looks like.

This sort of thing is unfortunately all too common in scientific field work. In the book "Close Calls" by Stratis Kas, Dr. Sonia Rowley related a harrowing story of persistent and dangerous sexual harassment while doing marine biology research in Micronesia. She put up with it because the only other option was cancelling the expedition, and that would have set her research back by years. No one should have to make that kind of choice.

)
# Write the output to the console

}

Get-Something "Alice" 42

If you were to call

Get-Something("Alice", 42)

It would pass "Alice", 42 to the first parameter.

You can use named parameters to get round this, e.g.

Get-Something -Name "Alice" -Id 42

Every dict in Python is already ordered so it doesn't change much and Python doesn't blink at something like `int | str` so you can already do something like {0: "hello", "0": "world"} if you hated your readers.

I have been there, when I was younger. Indeed I think maybe age alone is to some extent a moderating influence. Usually I don't have an issue now -- I have learned to breathe and sort of "find" restfulness somehow I can't really explain.

I don't personally believe that the idea in the blog post -- exerting willpower to lie still in bed -- is actually a strategy, anyway.

But when I am super-anxious, which does happen, I instead take a completely different approach, which is that sleep is less important than being rested.

I decouple the two. That is, I focus not on going to bed, but resting in some comfortable place, because I think there are fewer sort of "back of the mind" objections to that. It's far less commitment.

When I was staying in my father's large, by-then-empty house 18 months back I could not settle at all to go to sleep.

After only one night I got a sense of why: the size of the place and the location of the bedroom was unsettling and felt insecure.

But there's a room near the front door, not very warm, but it had the comfiest chair in the house, for some reason. I sat in that chair with the heaviest blankets I could find, in the dark. In my clothes, still -- no "getting ready for bed" ritual to speak of. Just rest, knowing that I wasn't trying to sleep.

And then at three or four in the morning, after some snoozing, with the alarm set, I would go up to the bedroom with as few lights on as possible, and get more conventionally ready for bed before the nagging thoughts could raise any objections, and I would swiftly fall asleep knowing that the sun would come p in a couple of hours.

It was enough sleep to survive, and completely enough rest, for the two or three months I was there.

Turns out my Dad used to do exactly the same thing, in exactly the same chair.

So if you'll forgive some more advice, in your shoes this is what I would try: give up on sleep. Focus only on low-stakes, low-effort rest. Perhaps sleep will sort itself out in that context.

The logical conclusion (maybe in quite a near future) will be something like the space opera engagements in Honorverse ([1]). TL;DR: space battles involve fighting typically beyond the ship's main directed-energy armaments' range. Instead, massive (hundreds, thousands and more) missile salvos are exchanged. Due to the quirks of how their propulsion works, missiles are easy to track and target with counter-missiles and point-defense lasers... but launch enough of them (laced generously with EW platforms and decoys) and the enemy task force's systems become overwhelmed.

The metre was re-defined[0] in 1791 as one ten-millionth of the quarter-meridian, or ninety degrees of arc, through Paris.

It then follows straightforwardly that 1° ≡ 1/90 × 10^7 m = 111 111.111... m.

It also follows straightforwardly that the circumference of Earth is approximately forty million metres, or 40 000 km.

[0]: Edit: the initial definition of the metre was the length of a seconds pendulum, i.e. the length of a pendulum with a period of two seconds.

Given the formula T ≈ 2π√(L/g), letting T = 2 and L = 1, we have 1 = π√(1/g), and 1 = π²/g.

This is also why g is so close to the value of π²—because the former is expressed in units that are defined that way. It's also not a coincidence that 1 cm³ of water is 1 g—for a long time, that was the definition of the gram.
And calling without ()'s is also available if you call with a single string literal, as often seen in require "modulename".
Lol who cares? Stop trying to monetize everything. God darn I can't wait until scarcity of knowledge is obliterated by ai. Copyright kills innovation and culture.

Nobody gets paid. Stop thinking you need to be paid for everything. Ai exists and once it penetrates deep enough and is good enough this madness of thinking you need to be paid for everything can disappear. Your ai creates something. Cool mine can do it too. Why does money need to even come into the debate? It's 19th/20th century way of thinking that revolves around scarcity. Gimme government funded ai for everyone just like Healthcare. Bring down the profits made from scarcity of knowledge!

It's not just Scrum. Putting unqualified people in decision making positions is cancer. Scrum masters, product owners, team leads are the only ones that make decisions, a lot of times technical ones or that have impact on the technical side (like what to build first). But CEOs decided that these people can be non-programmers aka cheaper employees.
So they created this setup in which the blind leads the herd. Scrum is just one way to "accomplish" this.
I tried, but they got back to me after a few minutes and said the decision is final. They didn't even review the case....

How did you measure the temperature of the painted material?
The saw on this previously (just one yourube video) measured the temperature by using a an infrared temperature device. Which is not the same as the actual surface temperature. The temperature is inferred from the amount of infrared light detected, and the assumed emissivity of the surface.
So when the the author concluded that the paint lowered the temperature of the surface by only measuring it with an infrared thermometer, it seemed a flawed conclusion to me.
He had only shown that less infrared was emitted than other nearby surfaces, not that the temperature was lower.

The US is not the world and companies would gladly hire cheap engineers elsewhere when they can (and they will).

> but we’re the sort of people tech companies generally want to recruit and/or advertise to.

Nope.

Companies that have incurred such high operational costs have shifted to hire offshore to cheaper countries instead of hiring expensive employees, especially in an environment where borrowing money and access to capital is now more expensive.

You can use off-the shelf components and use boring technology without making a big mess out of technical debt.

The alternative to building your own DB isn't to put everything into a big json file.

The correct alternative is Postgres.
If the function definition is `def f(x, y, a=None, b=None)`, you can already just call `f(*dict(a=1, x=98, y=99, b=2))`. So instead of using `0` and `1` for the positions, like the tweet author suggests, you can just use the parameter names.

However, I've always disliked that you could do this in Python -- passing positional args out of order as kwargs. And also that you could pass kwargs as positional args.

Python 3 and later 3.8 introduced optional * and `/` in signature syntax to prevent both of these behaviors, which I appreciate, but IMO this should have been the default behavior from the beginning. Now you can prevent both behaviors by defining the function with `def f(x, y, /, *, a=None, b=None)`.

Every forced Android minimum targetSDK update breaks literally everything.

There’s also a breaking change coming up in SDK 34 around exact alarms.

This is a problem nicely solved by graphql fragments - components declare their data dependencies, and the compiler generates a single query.
I don't think a GraphQL to SQL compiler is strictly a bad idea. It is kind of like allowing forum users to post HTML-formatted comments; you absolutely can't pass it through unmolested, but you can parse the HTML and walk the AST to emit a safe subset when you're displaying the comment. Basically, this sort of thing is very easy to get wrong, but it's not an intrinsically unworkable idea. At the end of the day, the backend database does the same thing; a connection says "SELECT foo FROM bar" and it has to decide whether or not the current user is allowed to do that.

To some extent, this is kind of reverting to "old times". Back in the day, client applications connected directly to the database and the database handled auth. There is no real reason to not let Javascript apps running in the browser to do that, modulo implementation details (hello popular database with a 100 connection limit out of the box). With that said, I remain unconvinced about whether the modern SPA architecture is the right thing. In a day and age where everyone has gigabit fiber or 5G running over HTTP/3 to a replica of your website hosted in the same city as your ISP, is downloading HTML on every click really that bad compared to making power-savvy devices parse and compile your application every time they visit it?

You know what, I'm gonna nitpick that nitpick: void main() is fully allowed on a freestanding target, which is still standard C.

Given the C standards historically generous interpretation of undefined behaviour and other miscellany, I think it's a reasonable interpretation of the standard to pretend that a target that allows something other than int main(...) is freestanding rather than hosted, and therefore fully conforming.
