You're very unlikely to lose your version history like that.

Everywhere I've worked has branch protection turned on, and backups. Even if those both fail somehow it's very likely the complete history is on lots of engineers' laptops.
Yeah, but depending on the details and design of the sacrificed area, it might be less environmental impact overall.
Then the obvious solution is to do what a civilised country does: schedule the election on a Saturday and make it compulsory and easy to do.

Other countries have phones and all the other excuses. We just don't have a system that's deliberately designed to suppress voting.
Absolutely false.

No matter what, if it were bonefide it would be interesting.
Get an Arduino starter kit, and dig in. The nice thing about the Arduino is that it's 5 volt I/O, so enough to drive a light, an FET, etc. They're not super fast, but for stuff you want to see... good enough.

Most of the things you'll build these days are just jelly beans you connect together.

You’ve highlighted my point about the dumbing down of political economic debate. There’s very literal difference between “market is fundamental natural law of the universe” and any other belief that’s grounded purely in ideology. They have a role to play in resource allocation, yes, but the idea that resources are allocated optimally through blind belief is a poor substitute for critical thought about how they are and can be harnessed, and what effect that has on the real world. One that exists outside of a bunch of bits in a database. It also allows the folks who do have influence over the laws that govern markets the ability to lean on the scales to their own favour
We had drying issues with our Miele that was addressed by using the rinse agent. Now generally dry results.
I think it’s a mistake to assume consistent intentions from a company as big as Google and a product as big as Chrome

I feel bad that this guy has to really strain the analogy here (at least in the introduction). It would probably be a lot easier to study how the brain works if we could abandon the idea that they are computers. Marrying ourselves to the idea that the brain must be doing computation as we understand it is harming the field imo.
I don't agree that private method tests are shitty.

However, I do agree that maybe there is a time during which it's OK to just not have tests. If you are just spitballing it, prototyping, code jamming, maybe even blasting out an MVP for alpha or beta testers. Sure.

Part of mastering a craft is making reasoned decisions about breaking rules.
There is enough fresh water out there. The problem is that most countries are not building infrastructure to take advantage of it.
There should be a competency test. A hard age limit is dumb; there are fully competent people in their 90s. But at the same time what’s happenening with Mitch McConnells recent issues. If he worked for apple or something they’d either hide him from public appearances or force him out of the company into retirement. And while there’s still technically some debate there (I guess) then you have a case like Diane feinstein, who is obviously completely incompetent even to the layman. Imo in any other situation that would be a reportable case of elder abuse but apparently if they’re a politician with a huge net worth that’s no longer the case

Politics is about representation and the elderly deserve representation too but they deserve competent representation. And we deserve proportional representation. But that brings up the issue that the political system is arguably rotten to its core and set up in such a way that it’s almost impossible to do such a thing. For proportional representation to be realistic we really need reforms to so many things, lobbying, gerrymandering, voting access, campaign finance, media regulation, etc. and the people who would need to reform this are the current representatives whose power would be potentially be threatened by the reforms that would be enacted.

Kind of a bummer, really
Except edge then opens and presents you with some message about setting it to the default browser (which a lot of people will just click ok to make it go away)
This is always the theory: "well pull that out into a separate class with a public API". But then those classes end up only being used in one place (the class it was extracted from), with a totally unnecessary increase in public API surface area. Both the extra verbosity and the pointless increase in API surface area are worse than just writing unit tests against private functions IMO.
To late to edit, I blame my phone's autocorrect.

You're correct.

If you want to play with the intersection of radio and software, get an SDR dongle kit, and put GNU Radio on your laptop to play with it. You'll learn a ton about DSP and the things are fairly amazing, considering the price.

Also know that GNU radio can do audio I/O... so you can hear what you output, if you just want to play with sine generators, etc.

I managed to build a VOR receiver (flowchart) that correctly gets the bearing (heading?) to my local beacon. It was fun.

Because circumstances have changed, selective pressures have changed, and an ability to grab the half gnawed finger bone from your fellow ape-creature is less valuable now than it once was. In a world where the disabled can write code or whatever, they have evolutionary value. I don't disagree with the premise btw of devolution a la Idiocracy, just think your specific argument falls flat.

There are lots of articles and probably studies that seem to find it a lot. I agree it's pretty likely it's causing some of it at least. Someone in my family has cfs, unrelated to covid afawct, but no one has figured out any cause.
Modern Bosch machines these days all take ~3:30 by default on the eco mode, and ~2:45 on the normal/auto mode.
Yeah. Given the weirdness of the magic bullet theory, especially if the revelations in the linked article are true, I think this sort of "small conspiracy of 2-4 people" is the simplest possible explanation.

I mean, sometimes a former military guy decides to do some killing and sometimes he has somebody working with him.

It's such a sad state of things, really where ham radio should be going but instead it feels like things just get stuck in the past(unless you're talking FT-8 but even that is less about experimentation and more just another mode to get contacts on).

Elecraft gear has pretty good output/inputs but it's spendy, it's a hard ask for someone to fork out $1k for a 10-15W radio.

The whole bandwidth/symbol rate thing is also just incredibly short sighted, a number of other counties have started to change things but here in the US we can't even seem to get something as simple as that updated.
Considering they’re superconductors cooled by liquid helium there’s not a lot of scope for “cool-off” lol

> Being able to wait at the gate for people

Once around 1992, my mischievous goth club friend told me that we were going to meet some friends arriving at the airport.

So she took about two hours doing my dark goth makeup, and we both got dolled up in our splendid nightclub finery, and we marched right through a very crowded airport, and right up to the arrival gate. It was better than bringing a bouquet of flowers, that's for sure.
I have given up on being annoyed or proselytising. It's much less stressful.

I write the documentation that I would like to see myself.
Yep. And in case of a big project LSP requires at least all dependencies properly installed right on the machine where you write code. Upgraded OS and something is incompatible for a while? You get no hints now, hope you're not in rush because you'll be running full build to discover your typos. And especially good luck should you want to use LSP on two different projects that require different versions of the same dependency...
If so, since 90% of people have it [1], avoid it is futile (a bit like avoiding COVID). So the question is how to avoid it causing CFS, or how to get the body out of the CFS state.

Windows continuously monitors what browsers users have installed. If you uninstall Chrome, it immediately tries to make Edge the default browser.

And it never respects my wishes for a default browser. Any OS embedded help link will open Edge, wasting me time, memory and screen space.
This non-sense is everywhere in Ubuntu, out the box, not limited to Snap, I get "<Application> is ready" when it is raised after launching - wtf is this? Opening a browser, or text editor, I don't know who is responsible, Ubuntu or Gnome or it's some nasty default?

I didn't say other superconductors were not useful. I was saying that one that can be used at higher, room temperature temps is at the very least a new, useful thing. That calling it "limited in usability" is odd when existing ceramic superconductors with considerably cooler temperature requirements are already useful?
Wow. That's quite remarkable. 7kW here was under US$4,000 including inverter, panels, installation and accounting for government rebates (some sort of credit system that the energy company handles by buying your credits off you, AFAIK). That was installed onto typical industrial metal roofing sheets - not sure of the name of it. Similar price at home installed onto corrugated iron which is very common in Australia.
Seeing my estimated VO2 max number rise and my resting heart rate going down is super motivating on my Apple Watch. I thought it would feel like a boat anchor being tracked all the time, but I really enjoy seeing all the heart metrics.

> This is a complete distraction from the more important question which is around Lee Harvey Oswald's incredibly suspicious relationships and contacts with known CIA people.

Distraction is the point.

Distraction from several key points which beg a series of questions.

- Dulles formed the CIA from the OSS.

- Dulles hated Castro and thought he'd trigger a full scale invasion by launching the Bay of Pigs "raid"

- Dulles was not all that happy when that plan, not only failed, but triggered his dismissal from the agency he formed and headed up, by JFK.

- Dulles, may not have been a psychopath, but he calmly watched his sister almost drown in the ocean, before their finally mother rushed to save her.
Didn't realise that was what you were getting at. In short, no, you cannot stop deep-links for Edge from opening in Edge.
You haven't stopped, PopOS is a Ubuntu derivative, not a Debian derivative. The future looks interesting though with at least the bulk of gnome dependencies removed with Cosmics - will still be a Ubuntu third-party spin / derivative though.
I have installed my own dishwashers since the first house I bought, never seen one that had an electrical plug connection. Nor have I seen one on a garbage disposal for that matter, both are always hard-wired in my experience (I'm in the USA). I had assumed it was a code requirement since I'd never seen it done any other way.

For apartments, where tenants are more likely to abuse the appliances, a plug-in might make some sense, as it would make installing a new dishwasher slightly easier, and avoid needing to cut the power on that circuit to wire up a hard connection.
To save time, I guess. They deleted the inactive code, so, why not, they thought. But then they forgot to deploy that change (to one server).

Bugs and configuration errors will happen from time to time, and might look silly in retrospect. But the real problem was, I think, that there was no kill switch (managers and tech leads should have decided to add long ago)
For js/ts developer the best explanation is - you have a functions that take iterable on input and returns generator. If you arrange your functions as higher order functions (functions that return Iterable => Generator function) you can pipe them constructing arbitrary pipelines.

We use this technique in trading systems. It works very well for certain class of problems. It looks like this [0].

>Who actually likes this? It’s insane!

It's not insane at all, it's good for business. Who likes it? Microsoft shareholders of course. All these annoyances help to increase Microsoft's profits, so they're good by definition.

If you don't like the modern Windows experience, it's simple: don't use Windows.
Airfares are quite a bit cheaper however, and it seems that most passengers are willing to forgo luxuries in order to receive a lower-priced ticket. That's evident by looking at the airline industry in Europe. Those are simple market effects.

Regarding China, it's great that large swathes of people are escaping absolute poverty, here's to our shared common prosperity.
And to your original point: No one needs to do anything about those differences just because they got an MRI.
I'm not sure stress-forcing yourself to exercise to make the numbers is better compared to exercising less but sure it's probably individual.
True, but there was Ben-Hur's thesis that "a chariot is capable of carrying any person", which says as much about brains as the Church-Turing thesis does unless you beg the question.

Interesting, sure.

But let's stop deceiving everyone into thinking everything using superconducting wires/cables will magically become room-temperature if LK-99 is real. They won't, you don't make such things from brittle ceramic.
Yeah - the alternative is often to make your non-test code worse to make it more testable.

Test private methods when you have sufficient behavior in them that it's worth testing in isolation.
You can cancel socket operations using signals. You can eg have one or more background threads running timers which will interrupt the blocking IO if it doesn’t return in a timely manner. A lot of very important frameworks and services that are used in billions of transactions per day use this model.
Why should Microsoft spend any money on maintaining a QA team and doing functional verification? What's the business benefit?

Leaving QA to a bunch of amateurs is a good thing: it saves MS lots of money, and so increases profitability, and increases shareholder value. Windows users aren't going to stop using Windows because of a bunch of bugs that a dedicated QA department would have caught, so there's no reason to avoid bugginess.

It's a tough problem, because doctors are supposed to be strictly concerned with their patient's health. So someone would have to set up and administer some sort of medical police force.

I read today that John F. Kennedy was riddled with health problems. He was young, and was considered a good president. How would this new medical enforcement work in His case?

Agreed not shelling out 3K for a camera, it's not the Vision Pro. My sweet spot price for a camera like this is $500. A fabulous 35-200mm zoom, a great sensor and all manual. The only other aspect I wonder about is in camera image stabilization. How can that be achieved without sacrificing battery life.
There was a more or less visible campaign against Chinese made radios recently in Japan (mostly due to transmitting without a license and also the fact that the transmission itself caused a lot of noise in a wide spectrum. I’m not a ham but I’m interested in radios, so my terminology and what I understood about the “offending” transceivers might not be accurate)
The popular Baofeng UV-5R (or a close model/clone) is available at Amazon and Rakuten, but I got cold feet about buying one of the noisy units and be visited by the Radio G Men.
The price of Japanese made units is 5 times more, but on the review sites I consulted, they all agree the quality is worth the price (I looked for Yaesu units).

I keep telling my customers that they don't "need" to patch their Internet-facing Windows web servers in the same sense that they don't "need" to replace the oil filters in their car.

Look, yes, you ought to replace the filter every six months to a year, but will your car stop dead the very next day if you don't? No!

It also won't stop the day after, or the day after that. Ergo, by induction, we come to the conclusion that the 2012 R2 server on RTM patch level is not professional negligence.

It's just simple logic.
Yep. I tried that. Turns out that not getting a product out the door is not the only way a company can fail.
it was always meant as an helper:

If you want to import local files you have to edit the module path to include the current directory.
Either one sounds like more effort than just pouring the powder into the detergent compartment.

I can understand the convenience factor of pre formed pods, but if I have to spend 15 minutes a week making my own pods from powdered detergent, it seems like I’d be better off just using the powder as intended.

I wonder what percentage of the worlds conductors actually need to be flexible?

There’s probably many meters of electrical traces in my iPhone’s logic board and ICs, most of which are presumably copper, but don’t need to be.

The whole outer case of my phone is made of ceramic so it doesn’t seem like it would be a problem.
If I were the gawk maintainer I would be unwilling to take on features by default. It is widely used infrastructure and keeping out bugs is far more important than taking on features. If the userbase keeps asking for the same feature over and over, at that point it would be up for consideration, but no sooner.

This seems untrue in the current media landscape. It is more likely people will disagree and then drift back to their echo chamber.

> Is this some sort of weird projection? My preferred way of life is legally banned, and you want to keep it banned, so you assume I want to ban your way of life?

It is a comment on a lack of empathy for different way of living. I don't want to ban your preferred way of living as long as it does not pollute my night sky with light, block my sun, or keep my from traveling to where I want, when I want.

> Clearly you view me as an enemy, but I do not view you as one. I do not wish to make your way of life illegal, and only expressed a view that my preferred way of life should be legal.

No, I do not see you as an enemy either. this is a conversation with lots of nuances that are lost. I believe the loss of nuance has led people pro and con on the 15 min city model to be hostile to the opposing view. I'm trying to find a way to say, I support you having your 15 minute model, I hope you will support my not wanting it or at the least, don't force it on me.

I am assuming that when you say your way of life is legally banned, you are referring to zoning regulations. Changing zoning regs means you are going to need to become part of your local government. I suggest you go to planning board meetings. Listen a lot, ask polite, questions. Remember these people are not getting paid enough for all the shit they get thrown at them. No matter what decision they make, somebody will be in their face about it. Please remember, it I'm not your enemy, most of them are not either.

Once they get to know you, volunteering for subcommittees will give you experience for dealing with town/city government. Then you can have a shot at a planning board seat and have the knowledge to make effective change.

zoning laws only change from the inside. so, get on the inside, and make change happen!
