boppo1 is a bot account. The spamming of identical comments is a dead giveaway. There, see how easy and unhelpful that was? ;-)

Also, slinging spurious accusations at someone who’s written some quite interesting comments doesn’t seem like it adds much value to the conversation; and besides, consider the https://xkcd.com/810/ (“constructive spam”) effect.
But capturing wind surely creates a local warming effect? I believe I read that somewhere. Enough wind energy could accelerate global warming.
There are visual thinkers among humans. Temple Grandin being a famous one. She's written about how she thinks in pictures and had to learn to translate that to words growing up. Also how she believes animals think in pictures. Although I wonder if smell might be more the case for some like dogs.
For me, I haven't had a problem specialized in healthcare regulation. I have a favorite stack, but my preferred stack is the ship of theseus if we start from the beginning of my care. That said, I've worked in all sorts of stacks. The only throughline is healthcare regulation with the occasion side steps into other highly regulated fields. I've spent my career automating bureaucracy. Employers just like that they don't have to explain their situation to me. As everyone knows tech stack is fast to pick up, but domain takes much later. I'm coming up on 15 years doing this. It's working for me thus far.
How many 'hardcore vim users' use the actual physical Esc key for that (back to normal) purpose anyway? It's so awkwardly positioned I thought that was often among one's first bindings.

(I don't have a UHK and though I looked before I don't think it's for me, just saying.)
Absolutely, but the claim of the article is "Starfield’s 1,000 Planets May Be One Giant Leap for Game Design" which it's not, as parent points out.

You could say it's a step to combine the idea of "massive worlds with 1000s of planets" together with story and heavy RPG elements, but that's different.
> because judges are kinda the authority on the interpretation of the law. That’s how the legal system works.

Unless you have a Supreme Court opinion, their authority is limited to one courtroom or one Circuit. And this still doesn't tell you what the law should be, which is ultimately up to the public.

> Only McDonald’s can distribute a McDonald’s quarter pounder.

You're talking about the trademark, not the product. Anybody can distribute a hamburger. It can even be indistinguishable from a McDonald's Quarter Pounder as long as you don't call it that.

The issue is not that Apple has a trademark on Apple App Store so no one else can make a store with that name. It's that there are millions of people whose only mobile device is an iPhone who can't reasonably use any other app store no matter what you name it.

> Anyone can make a distribute a smart phone too.

The question is whether anyone can make a store that distributes apps to everyone with a smart phone. If they can only distribute apps to some subset of the people with a smart phone, that strongly implies that these are separate markets.

> The web….

I want to install the Firefox browser engine, my favorite VPN, BitTorrent and the Epic Games Store on an iOS device. Can I use the web for this?

Notice that you couldn't list Google Play either. Why is that if the market is supposed to be something like "smartphone app distribution"?
The sabbatical program was ended by Jobs in '98. Lots of folks were really unhappy about it. That one and profit sharing both got dropped right about the same time.
Fair enough, though that notice can easily be disabled.

For what it's worth, I happened across bbatsov/prelude in 2011, not long after it started being developed, having no prior emacs experience. The notice you mentioned was one of several that nudged me to learn and use the various key combinations, so I'm grateful for the notices, but I understand that not everyone would be.
> Interviews will transition to be more real-world scenarios, perhaps within the customer's actual codebase, addressing a genuine problem the customer faces—possibly even compensating the interviewee for their time

The mechanics of this idea suck for everybody.

Sometimes you have a candidate who is up to speed on your stack or one of its dependencies and can go from idea to implementation in a short time period but otherwise the math doesn't work.

A week of time with a mentor for one day over that time is probably enough to do a 2 day task if there are no difficulties when you consider lack of knowledge of the code base and interfacing with a new code environment.

So best case scenario you pay 3x for a feature whose mental state won't stick around and the interviewer has to find time to do a week of work while juggling their existing job (which could be job searching if nothing else).

You could say "but you would hire them after" but if we are talking about that late in the process probationary periods make more sense.

If you aren't sure they are a good fit (say 50% certainty) overpaying for a potential solution is bad and then wasting that much time on a solution also doesn't make sense.

That is why most practical things are less than a day of effort and not impactful on the product to avoid weirdness around NDAs/Copyright/proper payment.

And if you think meaningful work happens more often than every two days I wonder what software company you are working for... Breaking down tasks to 1 hour slots isn't what I would call a good use of resources...
What does nppp give you that vscode, sublime, or the gnome editor doesn't?
If you can put javascript and animations in pdf, what's stopping you from making a frontend in it? I wonder what are the frontiers of things you can do in pdf.

Honestly, it seems like only malware authors benefit from the complexity of pdfs.
Happy Eyeballs makes a simultaneous connection over IPv4 and IPv6 to an HTTP server, and uses the first connection that gets a server acknowledgement. This is useful because many networks have noticeably different response times for IPv4 and IPv6, and many have one of them configured but not working properly (usually IPv6).

Without Happy Eyeballs web browsers can be slow fetching some web pages, for some users, waiting for a request timeout on IP addresses that don't work before trying one that works, or working but with the slower IP.

It's called Happy Eyeballs because it improves the visible page load time in web browsers for many users.

You can't even get a lawyer to call you back anymore because they're working from home too - which means they are at the beach all day with the kids, and will maybe check their voicemail in the next few days.

Here in Australia, you would just need to call the TIO to get it sorted out. Likewise if financial institutions are stuffing you about, call ACMA. If it's an energy company, call Energy and Water.

A perfect example of how the private sector cannot self regulate to the benefit of consumers simply because a profit motive exists.

Sure, I suppose just about anyone could shrug off having their life ruined by an unsubstantiated criminal charge by simply framing it in the context of genocide or thermonuclear war.
We didn’t need wasm to compile to the web for decades prior. Having a target closer to machine code is good, but not revolutionary. Same for Photoshop on the web tbh. Who is even using this?

I was interested to try this out. I downloaded the app, and obtaining the mID was presented as an application process. The first step was to scan both sides of my driver license. The second step was to submit to a scan of my face, where the screen flashed various colors to determine if I was a live person (somehow, maybe it measured my irises or something). Once that was complete, I was very quickly (if not immediately approved), and could download the mID to my iPhone.

Note that this does not appear to integrate with Apple’s digital driver license program in the Wallet app. [1]

The original headline is correct, it doesn't have "4.6b billion" (i.e. 4.6 quintillion)
Note quite "pure sugar", but probably close enough: https://www.tictac.com/us/en/products/tic-tacr-mint-flavors-...

I suppose it's "correct" in the sense that 0.49g rounded to the nearest gram is 0g. For reference, a sugar cube is ~4g, a can of coke has about 32g of sugar, and daily recommended intake for "free sugars" is about 30g, so their ~0.49g of sugar amounts to ~1.5% of daily intake, and amounts to about 2 calories per TicTac. That's not a whole lot, but it's not the "0" claimed on the package, either.
It seems worth saying that in this instance a lot of the problem was that once it got into the hands of the prosecutors Comcast could not simply "just drop" the charges but only request that the state do so.

"26 April 1999: I've been "slashdotted". " [1]

Wow, that brings back memories! I remember reading this article when it was posted to Slashdot because I had /just/ ordered @Home service.

Instead I went with DSL service with the phone company (forgetting the Ma' Bell branch at the time). The service never worked, it took 30 days of calling support, going through the script to get past Tier 1 (remove software, install software...etc), only to be put on hold for 30 minutes before getting dropped.

I finally went with @Home, which worked without going to jail.

The early days of broadband were an interesting time. It was a nice upgrade from ISDN or Dial-Up, though.

Not surprising but even outside of FAANG companies in Europe you can get a much better deal in another country
Every business has to deal with the dilemma: Do we hire and support the people we need, or (if we are big enough) do we push down wages by abusing people and keeping them on edge?

In my experience, Texas Public Schools are more likely to hire the incompetent and compliant than the competent and hard-headed.
> Long-term ongoing economic growth, expressed as a constant percentage, is baked in to most current orthodox economics and economic policy.

Whether it is or isn't, the optimal strategy for a nation is likely exponential growth until it can't, and then switch as quickly as can be done with the least problems.

Since nations are competing, and we're talking about exponentials here, the cost for cutting off exponential economic growth too soon is likely to become irrelevant to the future, which every nation is going to strive to avoid.
I can write the following comment about basically anything:

The community is a piece of work but the founding ideas are worth learning from.
>The hobbyist mods who were yeeted were probably disproportionately likely to be the sort of intemperate, authoritarian mods that given Reddit mods a bad name.

I don't know how you took my point of "if a mod is kind, has clear rules, and is a domain expert" and spun it around to "these mods lack self control and have bad rules". They were NOT talked about to begin with, that was my entire assertion.

>Can their judgment really be trusted?

I don't know, because I don't know your methodology of moderation. It sounds like you prefer a lasseiz faire approach and only want mods to keep out spam. if you don't want moderators to determine what hate and misinformation is, and are fine with low effort memes being on the front page of a sub, the current approach is ideal for you.

But, the kinds of subreddits being interviewed here were not those kinds of meme subreddits. They clearly cared about the content presented and wanted some level of quality in posts and comments.

- canning has a bit over 100k subscribers

- ender3 is 200k subs and I don't even think it's the largest 3d printer sub on Reddit

- homeautomation is the largest of the 3 mentioned with 2m subs

2/3 of these can "easily" be replaced with a different sub with looser rules if you feel strongly against their moderation style. Is it wrong for them want to maintain that level of quality?

Regardless, even a 2M sub isn't holding a candle to what actual powermods are controlling. They aren't too relevant to the discussion the author brings up.
Unless you never touched the App Store there are real costs there and you could spend hours if not days transferring stuff. (Accounts cloud data etc.)

Unless you get a new same manufacturer device and then it takes minutes and you keep everything.
I don't think it's impossible for energy consumption to scale to those levels, but presumably it can only happen in conjunction with massive changes (maybe orbital manufacturing? maybe we run server farms on Mars and do our futuristic energy-intensive computing there?) that invalidate the entire frame of the argument.

Maybe in 1950 people would have argued that soldering all those vacuum tubes would be too difficult, and they'd have been correct, but transistors and CAD changed the entire reference frame.
It does seem like it would have saved a lot of heartache to have just coughed up the money for an attorney but that in itself is unfair -- it's a significant enough expense and for some is likely to be out of reach altogether.
That seems a little backwards and barbaric, though right?

Imagine if we had to watch out for this as a common pitfall:

// BUG! Actually subtracts x from current val of neg_x.
neg_x = -x;

Even moreso, how would these two lines behave? Would they differ in semantics?

n = -5
n =- 5

Overall, -= is just so much less ambiguous.

EDIT: To your point about ->, I personally think C would be better if:

*p->next

parsed as:

(*p)->next

instead of:

*(p->next)

but maybe now I'm not thinking through all the parsing impliciations :)
Cheers to that. IF the housing bubble pops, perhaps all the airbnb's revert back to actual long-term housing and the housing crisis / crazy rental market fixes itself. Capitalism, just fixing itself. Nothing to see here, no reason to worry.
Coverage amount is not what the article is about. It is about covered things happening.
Your team's process should be flexible enough where you don't have a name for it.
Semi-related(?) - I created a repository to convert PDF to JPG and back to PDF:

https://github.com/whyboris/PDF-to-JPG-to-PDF

A government form didn't have editable fields that needed to be filled out. And editing the PDF was impossible (password protection). This was my solution.
The article gives an estimate closer to $1000, which sounds likely in what sounds like a pretty straightforward case.
Agree totally - I want to see whether the controls for what I want to use the software for are in prominent positions, buried deep in some menu, or completely non-existent. I also want to see what other UI fluff is crowding out those controls and becoming distracting for me and my users, and how bloated the application is around other tasks that I have no use for.

It's not the sole way to evaluate usefulness of software obviously, but it can help save a lot of time if it's clear from screenshots or videos if its not a good fit for my needs.
It took me a while to realize this, as I began my startup journey over valuing software skills and under valuing business skills, but you truly need marketing, sales, and legal (business ops) in addition to product and engineering. As a solo tech guy you can do product and engineering, but the other areas are neglected unless you can pivot away from development and focus on those.

Small, highly profitable companies are totally feasible. But making a big splash with a product (not just consulting / freelancing) is extremely difficult as a single person.
Ahh, that makes a lot of sense now. Genius, thank you!

Inflation is an exploit used to grant more money to the bank admins any time they feel like it. A correctly functioning trading economy has zero net inflation.

If I gave my actual ordered top 5 I'd be begging for a tangent thread here, but: Saul, and then I'd have to think about Leftovers vs. Mad Men for 5.
treesitter is not exactly "baked in" too well at the moment. There isn't really auto-install/configuration of the grammars and as far as I can tell there isn't even a list of URLs for grammars, you have to supply those manually. There is treesit-auto which isn't quite there yet (why isn't treesit-language-source-alist populated automatically?)

Compare with Mason on Neovim which is much closer to "everything just works" (and niche treesitter modes seem to be available there long before they are available on Emacs)

How would an LLM figure out what words to translate animal sounds to? Where does it learn that information? We don't know what animals are communicating if they do have a language of sorts. There's no mapping.
Gonna assume you're not trolling.

If you do that, people will notice and you lose the freedom.

Freedom means autonomy. It means giving people a salary and let them figure out themselves how to create the most value for the company. Sometimes that might mean to improve a system your team isn't responsible for, for example. Or to do a job others in the team find annoying, but you find ok. It can be to redefine the problem in the first place.
Here's some examples where ICC comes out ahead, often far ahead:

https://keyj.emphy.de/compiler-benchmark/

As for MSVC, my experience has been that it often generates smaller and slightly faster code than the others (except for ICC), but there's definitely some styles of code which it won't want to optimise.

I don’t doubt that fact, but housing isn’t a typical market. It’s a market that for most people’s lives, has never gone down for a long period of time. It’s a market that the government will actively intervene in to prevent it from going down.

If you talk to a lot of older Americans, a non-trivial portion of whom are invested in the housing market, their faith in the continued growth of the housing sector is akin to their faith in God. They’d rather sell their kidney than their second homes at a loss.

You would have to do a lot to get them to believe that the housing market is over.

The one that really gets me is "uncured" meat products. No nitrates added! *Except those naturally occurring in celery juice.

Well why are you bringing celery juice anywhere near my salami? Is it because of the nitrates, hmm?

It's silly that regulations apparently allow producers to market differently according to the source of the nitrates (mineral vs plant). And now producers are locked in a dilemma where they must appeal to ignorant consumers who think "uncured" is somehow healthier. Sorry people, when it comes to colon cancer you can't have your bacon and eat it too.
His point is, if you're the expert on something that comes up in legislation or litigation, you'll be called on to opine on it.

The optimal strategy now for unlimited growth and some future limit on growth bei g hit when there are competitors are likely the same. Take advantage of it as much as possibly for as long as possibly.

Given two countries where one lints it's economic growth and the other doesn't, if they're given another few hundred years before a limit is hit, which one is in a better place to respond when that limit is hit? Does the country that minutes itself even still exist as it did, or was it taken over by a stronger one (whether economically, militarily or culturally)?
"For example, Python has become the quick, easy way for people to work with machine learning programs – thank you, PyTorch. But you can't simply drop these programs into WASM in a runtime and expect them to work. The problem is that you also need many third-party dependencies, which aren't there yet."

Yes you can, ONNX. Yeah, it's not _literally Pytorch_. But it takes about 10 minutes.
IMO the readme docs make it seem confusingly like it's built-in/really well integrated with Actions, because the syntax is so similar. It takes some light digging to find it's actually entirely separate (but similar) and run as `keeo run --alerts-file=path`, from GH Actions or anything else at all, because it's a separate file parsed by a third-party program that just so happens to have a similar syntax.

Nice tool though, looks useful, added to the list.

I've been a Chrome OS user for a decade. I no longer worry about the OS, files, or versions. This is great. What we do need is the ability to build the UX locally outside the confines of the browser outside of the existing OS.

The idea that files can share user space with other files without explicit permission always felt off.
