I do not know exactly what a baseball bat for tennis is. I have some assumptions as an amateur player and following television over the years about why 1HB is not a thought anymore.

No one is teaching 1HB anymore. Along the way, I went to several tennis schools, and it's quite hard to find a coach that offers training as a 1HB, most of the time because the person is a 2HB himself or herself or does not know what it takes to train a 1HB.

The training itself is tougher. I had a coach who said that for every person that chose 1HB, he demanded at least 600 shots in the tennis wall in comparison with 200 of the 2HB, and with the game being as complex as it is in several other disciplines (footwork, volley, baseline, physical training), the least thing that you can do is to have almost 1 hour extra of training for a single shot.

With the game becoming slower, 1HB became a honeypot for lefty players who could explore it a lot and baseline players who would return every single stroke. When people used to play on the carpet, one average player serving an American twist or a flat on the line made it very hard for a 2BH to return due to the speed and anticipation needed. Today we have 2HB returning 150 MPH serves.

Dravidian languages are extremely not lost.
The insight about thinking deeply is compelling, and I believe it's partly true. We could all benefit from sitting silently and thinking more often.

But I also suspect that it overvalues individual insight and undervalues the normal process by which most complex ideas with application to the "real world" actually get created - through back-and-forth interaction between people.

In the US at least, Netflix works for search, but it doesn’t show up in the “continue watching” list. I don’t understand their motivation for that. And it means I often end up forgetting I’m watching a Netflix show because I don’t see “continue” until I end up back in Netflix.
Such a weak take. Yes it's simple, but he wrote it without knowing anything about the underlying flight data API. That's awesome!
You probably can't. Unless it fits in 2-3 pages, it'll blow out the context window.
Sweet mercy.

The best part of old Netflix was it's suggestions system that was fairly good at finding more things you'd like.

When were you in high school? Blockbuster cut prices near the end as it was dying to try to compete with Netflix and Redbox.
Impressive how actionable that report back in 1983 was. But unfortunately the political climate is probably harder to change than the real climate, otherwise there would have been more progress in the past 40 years.
Drama like this has influence on language evolution, on this specific context, reflection work from ThePHD was stopped and his employer withdrawn from all ongoing Rust efforts.

Dramas in Python and C++ communities also had similar side effects on the people that were involved, and withdraw their contributions.
I suppose you would be able to type that word into a dictionary of your choosing. Also, it's extremely uninteresting.

Flagged.
Even with minimum sentences, if the President and Governor instruct police to ignore all violations of a law, you can treat it as if it didn't exist. Or police officers can decide that the punishment is so low that enforcing a law isn't worth their time (see e.g. California's shoplifting misdemeanor).

But all of these are examples of other people disliking a law. If the right other people dislike a law, you can ignore it. But whether you like it doesn't really play into it.

There’s a difference between totally denying climate change and being skeptic of the accuracy of data.

I’m skeptic of how hyperbolic we lay out global warming to be - Extinction in a few decades.

But a believer that it will be painful for a large amount of population on the planet. Very painful.

I would say that David Tolnay himself confirmes that in the linked Gist:

I expressed forceful skepticism that the compile-time introspection work, which I had been passively following with great interest, would achieve a state that would be suitable for a RustConf keynote in time for 2023 RustConf, for lack of adequate lang team iteration (neither for the Rust Foundation grant selection, nor conference presentation) to land well with the RustConf audience.
AI-Based Meal Plan Generator. Custom-tailored personal meal plans in 60 seconds
We have just launched our most advanced meal plan generator. You can specify a diet, calories, protein, fat, carbs, and many other parameters such as cooking equipment, region of the world, cuisine, cooking time etc.

You then press a button and an algorithm will instantly give you combinations of meals and recipes that match your needs.

The recipes are all top quality and vetted by a registered nutritionist. They all have instructions and are easy to follow.

Real personal trainers, nutritionists and dietitians are using this software to create meal plans for clients, so these are real useful recipes, as opposed to what you sometimes see - computer-generated recipes that wouldn't really work in real life.

Check out the video and article at:

Interesting - I didn't realise the performance of a system was measured in how "obscure" the source language is.

Is this a backhanded remark? (pun intended) In conversation, generalization and cross-comparisons happen. Our brains do these things, and it makes for interesting discussion.
Yes I know - I'm saying it could be even cheaper than that, or it could get more expensive to move to Kubernetes. A percentage like this isn't useful.
The thing is, k8s has a lot of mindshare. It's entirely easier to go and find some pertinent issue with your k8s set-up through a simple search, whereas e.g. nomad and swarm have much less mindshare.

You don't have to go full complexity with k8s. You can just use a managed k8s provider and ship a simple deployment with an anti-affinity policy to distribute across VMs on creation. Sure, there are other solutions [and this one is likely to not be the cheapest], but they're all vendor locked--k8s is about as close to a cloud agnostic compute as we're likely to get.

The little experience I had with ChatGPT code was amazing, but you have to keep it under a certain threshold, after that it will simply chop of its code.

Asking it to split it into smaller functions so it can be emitted one at a time had mixed results.

But the future is indeed bright for such tools.

Just a reminder: Burning foam releases toxic gases (inc. CO, benzene, toluene, and more). If you're going to be using heat to cut foam it needs to be in a well ventilated place. And, yes, I completely grasp that a hot wire isn't a large surface area but a lot of these off-gases will pool in areas without a moderate air current.

Together we make enough in 10 hours a week to pay for our tiny apartment, 16 year old car, insurance, and healthy veggie diet. The rest of the week?

Well, this year we're ultra-marathon training, volunteer firefighting, backpacked the first half of the Appalachian trail, crew on a racing sailboat, and running a charity teaching apprentices how to be software engineers (got two into the industry in 2023). I just got asked to come be a helper at our fire academy starting next week which I'm very excited about.

Archaeology, like many fields, is chock-full of bunk. Of course you're right we shouldn't immediately dismiss it or assume we know more than they do. But neither should we trust-by-default, either. The GP is asking a perfectly reasonable question about whether or not the hypothesis is at all justified. Even the authors phrase the question in such weak terms and so provisionally it seems almost like filler text.

In general, we should recognize experts, but not everyone in their field is an expert and expertise should not be overrated, either - expertise overrating is a major cultural problem we have today.
The one that goes “force is only justified in response to force” does not.

> I think it revealed a lot ideologically about how Reddit operates, in particular this likely explains some of the more controversial subreddit bans in recent years.

I have no doubt that there are hundreds of Challenors who are "working" as Reddit mods. "Doreen", the /r/antiwork head mod who got embarrassed on national television, <https://mashable.com/article/antiwork-subreddit-fox-news-int...> is merely a famous example.

Similarly, back when the SCP-2721 <https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/protected:scp-2721> controversy <https://np.reddit.com/r/SCP/comments/8ubmjp/so_they_dissable...> occurred, wiki mod Decibelles stated that a majority of (I think one dozen) SCP mods (including Decibelles), is transvestite. A majority!
I know it’s not an option for everyone but the chopping is half the reason I paid for a monthly subscription.

Can anyone explain "happy eyeballs"? Did find one page about it, but wasn't 100% clear what the use case for it being an option was, or where on earth the name came from...
Yes, and across a virtually infinite range of disciplines. I love diving into esoteric topics like grades of tool steel, where asking follow up questions and following a thread is so much easier than looking up info from disparate sources.
I agree with this sentiment. But I also have personal antidotes that make me cautious about it. When I was a child I memorized dozens of phone numbers of people I called a couple times a month. Now my phone memorizes any phone number for me. We used to memorize poems and such. I can't give you any scientific reason why it is good to have memorized the Gettysburg Address. But I feel intuitively that there is some benefit to exercise your brain similar to the intuition I have about exercising muscles.

If a person thinks they benefit from 100 situps a day, I'm not going to disagree. And if they think there is some benefit in reading man pages, well, thanks to those who take the time to write all that ducumentation.
Personally I don’t believe theirs a conspiracy regarding this but just to play devils advocate.

Clearly, the heads of HR and other people who define corporate compensation talk to one another, “hey what are you guys doing to manage pay cuts, reductions in staff, etc in this economy at company x/y/z”.

It’s a pretty obvious benefit of having a strong professional network. I.e you have people you can ask for mentorship and advise. Every startup board was asking companies to belt tighten and reduce costs because of the economy earlier this year and last year.

A relatively small number of companies and startups in tech define top of market for compensation. Clearly the people at those companies know one another and talk about what they are doing.

There's always someone who doesn't know all the dictionary meanings of "magic." From Google's copy of the Oxford English dictionary:

- a quality that makes something seem removed from everyday life, especially in a way that gives delight.

- something that has a delightfully unusual quality.

- very effective in producing results, especially desired ones.

- (informal, British) wonderful; exciting.
There is none, because there are no pure economies.

There are three copies of the data as part of ceph's replication. Note this is not replication for backup purposes, erase a file and all objects composing the file are gone. Ceph replication is for comparing checksums and that for guaranteeing integrity.
I am not sure about this specific case, but I want to point out that there is a big misunderstanding with this normality assumption in t tests: it's not the distribution of the data that needs to be ~normal, but rather the distribution of the sample mean, which usually is ~normal, thanks to the central limit theorem.

Google demonstrated codebase aware LLMs at Next last week. I believe it was with their Codey model.

It knew the data model and methods that existed in code, and used these.
Why do you keep posting stuff like this, when people are very clearly not arguing this?

Nobody believes that executives should be jailed for not offering severance - that's not what is being discussed. But if part of a termination agreement includes a guarantee of severance (and these termination agreements basically always include responsibilities for the employee to uphold in order to receive that sentence), and then you just decide not to pay it, and it looks like you basically never had the intent to pay it, that looks a lot more like fraud.
> You recall incorrectly. curl's -C flag does not work as-is. You must specify the offset from where it should continue. Why doesn't it take the resumed file's existing length as the guess by default? What else could the user want outside of some very exotic cases?

But... it does, though. From the man page ( https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-C )

> Use "-C -" to tell curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out.

I just tried it, works perfectly. I don't really see a difference between writing `--continue` in wget and `-C -` in curl. And the use case for specifying it is not so exotic, you might want to do range requests for all sorts of reasons.

Look, it's fine if you prefer wget's command line: I don't think retrying a request is a reasonable default for a tool like curl, but reasonable people can disagree on that for sure. But curl is perfectly capable of resuming downloads automatically, you're just (very arrogantly) wrong on that one.
I don't quite get the example, like the other user said in this case the husband would clearly understand his wife is still working, so of course he won't believe it? So if he has a alcohol and gambling problem then he will still try some method?
If you are familiar with a language that either supports the Actor Model[0] natively, or has a library[1] that offers support for the model, I recommend trying to write concurrent applications using that.

I struggled with concurrency quite a bit until I stumbled upon the Akka framework for Scala. I was already familiar with Scala, so that made it easy to learn in terms of what I already knew. The Actor Model itself is a very simple concurrency model, and I think understanding that makes it easier to understand other concurrency paradigms.

The Statistical Heart of the System
For sure! Now I got the courage to go back to studying, after dropping out. That was my achilles heel, I would freeze and waste two weeks on a single problem that was too abstract for me. This time, after reading a lot of mathematical philosophy, as well as having a private tutor so to speak, I don’t have that fear. Well worth it to spend some money on GPT4, like an extra textbook per period in terms of money, to crush through those abstraction walls.
This is common in fancy CNC machines with rotational axes. It's much easier to rotate the stock than to rotate the whole tool around the stock.

This works better for some languages then others. I tried something similar for Swift since I wanted a simple tool for MacOS. The process was not great, many methods were hallucinated, and the answers matched old/deprecated functions from previous Swift versions. The experience seems to scale comparably to what's available in stackoverflow.
You could also just copy one of the many, many repos that are out there that do just this.

It's not a good example.
> ... but there's no evidence that amateur tennis is becoming more about strength and height.

There's an implied quantitative model in this comment, but what is being claimed is rather unclear. Until that model gets specified, we could talk in circles about it.

Most would expect that strength matters, but how much? / And how much for what? For winning? For being competitive enough for it to be satisfying and fun? For overall participation levels? / I don't assume a linear effect across age, ability, nor skill. / And how much relative to other qualities? And how much are the factors intertwined?
My participation has changed since the API change. I use old.reddit and uBlock Origin as I always have. I limit myself to scanning a few sub-reddits to ensure nothing bad has happened to Bitwarden and Yubikey, I don't log in and certainly don't contribute as I used to. If/when old.reddit stops functioning I'll stop even that low level of participation.
I was just coming to say, nice idea, so that you can put it in a hood and vent the fumes while it works. You could see the styrosmoke in that vid.

The world is headed toward a dystopian nightmare, much as science fiction has envisioned throughout the years. The evidence of worldwide government malfeasance is unambiguous. The collusion between government and Big Tech is equally self evident. China and their social scoring system has been in place for a while and it's popping up in the Europe and the States. The proliferation and reliance on "AI" accelerates the decline. It's probably too late to stop it. And the author of the piece is probably more optimistic than is warranted -- it's not just digital freedom.
I think it's fairly logical such a title was chosen. Without the ability to determine exact nature of their relationship, this choice - conforming to modern heteronormativity, evoking emotions and sympathy for "the lovers" sharing an embrace at their last dying moments - makes most sense given the largest potential target group for news of this discovery are heterosexual adults.

The given title is most certainly the only reason why a huge percentage of people ever heard of Teppe Hasanlu archeological site.

It might make sense for a General Purpose language, but really only if the language's goals make it suitable.

For example suppose you decided goal #1 is ease of use for beginners so you consciously choose verbose syntax. It's unlikely that your compiler is written by beginners and they may get sick of needing all this verbosity.

For Special Purpose languages it only makes sense if their purpose is centrally writing compilers. It doesn't make sense to write your Verilog "compiler" in Verilog.

It's seriously empowering. I've found it to provide excellent broad strokes for topics where there are well-established best practices. In these cases, where the training data would have had numerous data that all said the same thing, you can be pretty darn sure it is not leading you astray.
