Docs - oh boy. 90% of contributors to Racket are educators with many decades of experience teaching. The quality, depth, organization, interlinking, examples, references to papers... basically everything about Racket docs is at the level you just don't see anywhere else. Both the reference and guide are works of art. You get Realms of Racket and Beautiful Racket on top of that. Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation you'd find on the same shelf as SICP. How to Design Programs should be mandatory reading (and an antidote for the mind) for every OOP-focused dev out there (though, by the time they're "OOP-focused" they're most likely a lost cause anyway...) What's funny here is that Racket includes an OOP system, which is also described with incredible detail and thoughtfulness. The way they derive mixins from first-class anonymous classes is beautiful and enlightening. I've learned so much from docs.racket-lang.org that no other single resource can even begin to compare.

Performance: closer to Groovy, Clojure or Raku than to Python, Ruby or JS. That is, startup is not as fast, but execution after that is decent. For a few years, performance improvements were not the focus of development due to the migration from custom VM to Chez Scheme. Now Racket on Chez is the default and I think we'll see further improvements on that front (easier maintenance and better potential performance were the reasons behind the migration IIRC.)

The community is small, and the core strength of Racket is not something normal programmers use in day to day programming (that strength being the ability to shape the syntax and semantics of your code at will, ad hoc, anytime, with no friction at all, in any way you want). On the other hand, the results of giving that power to a bunch of very smart people are really worth seeing.
I've been using ChatGPT to develop the concept of a novel or TV show in which Al-Andalus never fell to the Reconquista, but rather conquered chunks of Central Europe... and fast forward we're traveling the stars. It's pretty good at following the "story A in the present / story B in historical flashback / stories converge in major themes" pattern.
> You seem to have pulled this number out of thin air, and I cannot see a scenario where this is true.

Why? Could you explain why 300k units w/ $200k gross would be impossible?

Is it not legal to sell unity games below $0.99 each, maybe not even in other currencies?

I'd rather be enlightened than shit upon if there's a reason I'm missing why the worst case scenario is 6.7% and not the apparent 10%.

You could also add to that why 6.7% is now possible which is more than 2x the 1-3% from earlier?

Why do you say you "pretend" in your numbers and accuse me of pulling numbers out of thin air with the technical worst case scenario?
Our chem lab in high school (in the 80s) had a CO₂ tank attached to a metal cylinder similar to the 3D printed one shown here. You just hooked it up and turned on the valve to create a puck of dry ice. So if you need it frequently and have trouble finding it for sale, maybe look for the modern equivalent.

(It being high school, about 5% of the dry ice created was used for legitimate chemistry purposes.)

Paper voting was reinstated because a pressure group called "We don't trust voting computers", formed of hackers and other knowledgeable people, sued the government and won.
Has anyone come down to why we were so against the lab-leak hypothesis? From a messaging perspective, I could see many of the nutters—who rejected vaccines and, in extreme cases, the existence of Covid in our timeline—responding favourably to a potential national security concern.
Probably for the same reason they didn't have the internet...?

I don't think it's a rude question as much as it is an obvious question.
> And we should not be duped into believing the technology exists to be "fully auditable and transparent, yet completely anonymous". It does not and it probably cannot exist.

It has existed for several years. Paper optical scan ballots, augmented by some printing using a special ink and a special marker used to mark them when voting, with some clever cryptography going into what to print on the ballots with that special ink.

This got a chuckle out of me, but plenty of content farms for programming are extraordinarily useful. One could make the case W3schools is a content farm, and that's raised a whole generation of programmers for their knowledge.

A lot of MBA material is intentionally geared towards roles in senior management, so while there's some material that would be practically useful for someone like an engineering manager, that's definitely not the focus. There are other programs that are optimized for technical management roles, e.g. https://eecs.berkeley.edu/academics/graduate/industry-progra...

I think the material itself is useful, and that the MBAs who show up and ruin everything would be even more likely to ruin everything if you put them in the same positions without the knowledge from their MBAs. But the barrier to entry for even elite MBA programs frankly isn't that high, so if you treat an elite MBA as a sufficient condition for a leadership hire, you're gonna have a bad time.
Lots of good benefits mentioned and I won't repeat them, but so far it looks like nobody has mentioned: "After-tax 401(k) contributions, convertible to Roth." Not all tech jobs pay like FAANG, but many pay very well, to the point where one can easily meet the (2023) $22,500 pre-tax employee contribution limit. The full (employee+employer) limit in 2023 is $66,000 ($73,500 if over age 50), but many (most?) plans do not support after-tax contributions that bring your total contribution up to that amount. When you start earning more, this is something to look for in your offer's benefit package. Bonus points if the plan also allows you to convert that after-tax contribution to your personal Roth IRA (the so-called "mega backdoor" conversion).
Oh, so it is - either I totally missed it or the comment has been edited since. I seem to remember the comment was quite a bit shorter when I replied (but maybe I'm just thinking of the bit I actually read!).
I disagree - art is emphasized a lot in the early years in US public schools.

My kids were constantly drawing and coloring till their 2nd grade.

And there is a lot of emphasis on making crafts.

My older one who is 11, has projects - where they are asked to research a topic, make a presentation and speak about that in class.
I've recently started using Obsidian for taking notes and am very much enjoying it.

For me the main things that matter are

- it works on both desktop (for taking longer notes from reading) and android (for short notes on quick thoughts / things to remember)

- the underlying file format is just plain text

- sync can be achieved with syncthing
My parents were growing it illegally for years in the US (now its legal in NY) and they got the shoots from their relatives in Jersey who have been quietly farming it for a few decades (going back to the 1950s) for the Eastern European community in the region.

Seconding that Godot C# support is pretty alright and in motion, but also GDScript actually is rather nice for game jamming and quick prototyping.
OK, but I bet they have US Federal judges where you live in the US, too. Again: the 48-hour almost-county-wide outage was caused AFAICT by an order by a Federal judge, the effects of which most educated rational people would have been able to predict.
Well, we shall make it a penalty, in fact the maximum imposable by the state, to interfere in any way with a persons open, public, commons vote or .. data .. related to that action, in any way.

You enter the booth, the light goes on, anything you want to say will be recorded for posterity by the state, for the public sphere, and you state who you support. Its an open public record, and therefore also the right place to let the government know that you are under duress and need assistance with exercising your right to vote.

So it goes more like, "I'm Jimmy, and I'm being forced to vote for Madam X, I want my government to address this grievance", and so it does.

I mean, the point of this theoretical is to realize that we have the mafia shit-storm we have right now, because things are secret.

That secret veil, once removed and turned instead into 15-minutes of fame for everyone, because its your right to do so, means you're gonna have a lot more people interested in voting, buddy.

No matter how many chumps Madam X has on the payroll.
I think you run into a couple problems with this idea.

It seems mechanically challenging to have a heatpipe that can flex as needed for a laptop.

LCD performance is connected to temperature, so if you pull a lot of heat to the screen, you're going to see weird effects as the heat distributes unevenly.

Moving the cpu to the lid is probably a better idea, and some devices have been made that way, but it's not common either.
Thanks for the kind words.

> The documentation is kinda crap

We continually get comments like this, but we rarely get elaboration on why people think this. Please explain what you mean. What's crap about it? We spend a lot of time improving the docs, and without specific feedback we're surprised to hear this.
Important to understand about Brotli vs. other compression is that Brotli has been pretrained with HTML/CSS/JS code. It efficiently compresses English text and source code, especially small files, due to its static dictionary.

There are other factors that make Brotli good, but this is good to understand when dealing with web frontends.
Blueprints are fun to work with, but the amount of time it takes to drag and drop nodes around to make the equivalent of a for loop feels incredibly unproductive. The result does look visually pleasing though!
> Nixon was so bad that he won 1972 re-election with 520 out of 528 electoral votes.

What happened after that, including both politically for Nixon and in terms of further information about the use of the national security apparatus for domestic political purposes during the Administration (including during the 1972 re-election campaign) that occurred after what happened personally politically for Nixon?

(While the question asks what happened in 1971, most of the graphs that show anything show something very minor separation for the first few years after 1971. I think “Nixon icky” is an…incomplete…hypothesis, to the extent that any of the graphs show something real, but I don’t think “but he was re-elected by a wide margin in 1972” is a sufficient dismissal, either.)
It sounds like a capacitor.

> Wayland has some widely-respected values around who gets to introspect what state and who acts as authority

And this is a main problem. These "widely-respected values" (by whom actually?) make sure that you can't implement an app that allows dragging tabs from one window to another because windows are not allowed to know their absolute coordinates.

> But there's a lot of value in agreed-upon protocols, and X11 also needed many of them.

Depends on the protocol. Wayland as such has zero value. I still can't decide that is designed by retarded morons ore geniuses as means of sabotage. Either way it destroys the FOSS ecosystem very effectively. Good job!
I assume you mean "dropped" as in posted? This is such a dumb slang word, confusing in the discussion of pricing.

Did Unity pricing go up? I assume that's what you're saying?

[edit] Just apologizing for the "dumb" statement. I meant it associated to the word. I should have just left it with "confusing", which is how I meant it. Sorry parent if that sounded directed at you.
radicalbyte, you're absolutely right that the use of fans in Micromouse increases the traction, and therefore the speed at which the maze is solved. Suction allows for impressive performances.

However, a small caveat that might be worth considering is that while the suction indeed increases speed, it might be more accurate to say that it primarily improves acceleration instead of car speed: The issue often lies with achieving rapid acceleration rather than with maintaining high speed. Even systems with relatively low traction can reach high speeds given enough time and distance, but the ability to accelerate quickly is crucial in competitions like Micromouse.
I think electronic OCR sorting machines are OK, where you put one pile of paper in and get multiple piles out, e.g. Republican, Democrat, Other / Errors. You can quickly flick through the piles and check they are all the right candidate. You can quickly see the size of the piles, so you can be fairly sure right away that the count is correct. If things are close, you can recount and verify the piles manually.

Anything that doesn't do that (even electronic counting of paper ballots) cannot be trusted.
I do agree with you but I didn’t feel it was necessary to point that out. MDN doesn’t use SEO titles so my guess is, that is where it loses out a bit, but for most in-depth JS/CSS stuff, I generally get MDN as a top result.

Can’t remember the last time I visited W3S/GFG to be honest.

It’s about to get worse though as it appears that DigitalOcean is putting a nail in the coffin for CSS-Tricks and Google will absolutely demote it because of inactivity, only the most linked-to pages will survive until DO decides to shit the bed and try and move the entire site to their Tutorials platform.
Greene is one of sixteen members on said Subcommittee [1]. Not a good look. But not disqualifying. (It is qualifying of their findings, given her Republican peers see no issue with her being there.)

Better is relative. And it's just a different type of tool. To be honest I know many more better engineers who primarily work with dotnet over CPP. The learning curve for CPP is higher because the ability to shoot yourself in the foot with CPP is higher. It's neither better or worse. Just a different tool in a toolbox.

The behavior of the sellers described in the article makes me think it's all but certain the songs are AI-generated. Imagine telling a jeweler a diamond looks fake, and they first pull out their handy diamond faking machine to show you how bad a fake diamond looks in comparison to what they're selling, then curse at you and close the store.
"Compared with individuals who had not been exposed to sedentary behavior, individuals who were exposed to sedentary behavior had a 30% higher risk of experiencing dementia. Sedentary behavior was associated with several chronic diseases that were also associated with cognitive impairment and risk of dementia. Previous data suggested that prolonged sedentary time could impair glucose and lipid metabolism, which were recognized as the risk factors for cognitive decline and all-cause dementia. In addition, inflammation was also identified as a potential risk factor for dementia."

Similarly, allegories function as extended metaphors, using a narrative or symbolic representation to convey a deeper meaning. Through allegories, writers can explore complex themes, societal issues, or philosophical concepts in a more engaging and accessible manner. By imbuing characters, settings, and events with symbolic significance, allegories invite readers to reflect on the underlying message or moral lesson. Utilizing allegories in essays: https://privatewriting.net/write-my-dissertation can transform them into thought-provoking and impactful pieces of writing.
However, it is crucial to use metaphors and allegories judiciously and purposefully. Overuse or inappropriate application of these literary devices can distract or confuse readers, undermining the clarity and coherence of the essay.
I agree, it's not exclusive to NY. I live in a college town of around 65k (100k with the student population) and it's amazing. We have a very modest home, but it's super walkable: 1/2 mile to a small grocery store, 3/4 mile to downtown, 1 mile to the river, 1 1/2 mile to the library.

We moved during COVID from one of those cities where "a park is a giant empty field of grass". Major life changer.

From my experience with Gradle, it's fairly tricky at the build tool level, trying to do it at the CI level must surely be harder.

If (for example) I change a value in gradle.properties at the top level, do I need to rerun every test in every sub project? You need detailed knowledge of how the build is structured to decide that.
Relating to this, a big realization for me was in highschool when I was given the advice by an elder sibling that I didn't need to try to do everything perfectly if I had other important things to do. Eg. it's okay to take a small hit on one class's grade by skipping a weekly homework assignment if it means being able to focus on the term end project from another class.

In hindsight it seems kind of obvious, but I was so used to the parental pressure to just do everything perfectly from my earlier years that it had never occurred to me to prioritize. Although I suppose it does still require you to have a mature sense of priorities, since skipping all assignments to party every day is obviously not healthy.

I take pride in all of my work, but at this point, as a PhD student, if I put my 100% into everything, I'd have to forgo even sleep. I have to figure out which tasks are more important and which I can hand off to others or simply ignore because my supervisor probably won't even remember asking me to do them in a week.
AV1 video support was already a baseline since Youtube and other websites really want to use it, so AVIF didn't add any attack surface with the decoder. (this is also unlike WebP vs VP8, since WebP added a lossless mode which is quite literally the part this vuln is in)

HEIF container parsing was the additional attack surface added by AVIF, and while it's probably more complex than JPEG-XL's container alone, it's definitely less complex than a full JPEG-XL decoder.
Doesn't the human body also generate electromagnetic noise?
I don't mind C++, but can you delete the script file without closing the editor yet? It was such a turn off for me at the time that I abandoned all intentions of ever learning to use Unreal Engine.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek about Apple saving the IIci. But the ROM on the machine is hardwired to only support up to 10MB of memory, even if you drop in larger sticks that would otherwise be supported. There's no real reason to do this except to protect the higher priced products. But as you noted, there wasn't really a higher end product to protect because the LC was already crippled by its slow bus and obsolete CPU.
Manufacturing and now web/architecture (buildings not tech architecture) I left electronics behind many years ago sadly
This is great and I love the simplicity and speed (of page load and development). Curious, I ran it through Lighthouse and received a performance score of 100. By way of comparison, some of the more notable blogs on cloud edge were consistently between 60-80. Just checking my perceptions.
Godot has been remarkably fun to work with, and was way easier getting started in than I'd thought it'd be, coming from some topical UE4 experience. Scriptable with a flavor of Python, programmable in C#, and most recently with native C++ modules that don't require rebuilding the engine.

The new versions of C# can compile ahead-of-time, and have expanding support for value types and pointer-like semantics, so you're not stuck with the Java-y OOP For Everything paradigm if it doesn't fit your requirements.

The standard libraries are still an allocation party, of course, but that can be supplemented in an engine context.
That would be a misdemeanor or crime, as per the doctrine of the state regulating the non-interference of a persons basic human rights.

And when I step into the booth, I can say "last time I voted, I got fired for voting" and it'll be on the record, too.

I mean, this is all a theoretical, but lets play it out.
Boy, this is demoralizing. Unity needs to make money, but they just gave folks a great reason on the lower end a reason to switch to the completely free Godot which:
- Will soon reach performance parity
- Now supports C#
- Is less bloated
- Is FOSS

Unity did have some great and useful libraries for doing things like animation rigging and editor customization. RIP
I had new managers who thought they could boss around the members of other teams. All they did was anger the other teams manager for not respecting that team’s priorities.

The most succinct managerial advice I have heard comes down to (a) the CEO has a strategic plan for the org for which your team has a role (b) in this role what is your team supposed to accomplish and within what constraints (c) if your team can’t do it figure out what needs to change so you can (d) if your team is making progress, learn what are the drivers and blockers so you talk intelligently if there is a change in timing or scope (e) talk with your peers and ask how are their teams doing?
Yeah it’s not a great brand choice.
