You can't be a civil, mechanical, aerospace, marine, chemical, etc. engineer through software... Software is just a tool for engineering disciplines, not everyone wants to be writing software instead of designing and building physical things.
No, just don't do that.
Not gonna lie, I'm not struggling to think of reasons why Twitter's ad revenue dropped that don't involve the ADL...
But it is meaningful. The websites are being interfaced with pretty much timeless clients - people. We interact with the world with our body and process it with our brain. The world has the same physics laws all around the world, so it's consistent. The virtual world is becoming anything but that. At least public services should become more consistent and change more slowly upon the most necessary changes.
There is a distinct difference between telemetry and the captive portal requests Firefox makes. The captive portal checks have nothing to do with telemetry and contain no payload, which is why they are not covered by that setting.
Simple Cost of Data Breach Calculator
A quick way to estimate the cost of a data breach to your company, with estimated values based on a survey of data breach reports.
Log breakpoints are still kind of print debugging. I do add log breakpoints, even add conditionals on them, they however become a huge performance bottleneck in places and best way is to write a print statement in the code itself.

Did you just really take Elon Musk's completely random figure of ads revenue drop as fact?
If these events associate with solar motion through the local interstellar cloud perhaps the onset will take a while, and that will allow for some mitigations to be made, even if there is no way to predict when that might happen.

... what if one of the Voyager spacecraft is heading in the "right" direction to see something ...
Exactly. Personally I like making calls whilst riding my bicycle, in part to make motorists go mad because we all know that texts, calls and such phone activity causes accidents. But, on a bike you are not going to kill anyone.

I'm genuinely not seeing a problem there that the Planner part of the paper couldn't cover. "Who said that" and "what's going on right now" are just API calls. Besides which, if one person says "play my favourite" while another person is watching TV, that's not the LLM's job to unpack.

The point is that the ability to call APIs gives them the ability to learn so that the actions that are eventually taken are correct in context. It's like a more generic version of https://code-as-policies.github.io/.
Content marketing is an essential part of any successful business strategy. But the question often arises - should you build an in-house team, hire freelancers, or look for alternatives?

In-house teams offer consistency and brand familiarity, but they can be costly and require substantial management efforts. Freelancers, on the other hand, provide flexibility and potentially lower costs, but finding the right one can be a time-consuming process.

So, what's the alternative?

Enter the era of AI-powered solutions. Tools like GetMax are changing the game by offering an efficient, cost-effective way to automate your content strategy. It recommends keywords, generates topic ideas, and even creates content autonomously. While it may not perfectly replicate the prose of a seasoned writer, it significantly reduces the workload, freeing you to focus on other critical aspects of your business.

GetMax is currently preparing for launch, and we're inviting interested parties to join our waiting list. If you're tired of the traditional content creation grind and are looking for a fresh approach, it might be worth a shot.

What are your thoughts on the future of content marketing? Do you see AI as a viable alternative to traditional methods? Let's discuss!
> My point is that we actually do know the costs of various forms of labor and the amount of resources used in things

Price of the final good (or rather demand for it) can significantly influence the price of labor in certain cases though. There is no fixed "cost of labor" which is somehow directly tied to output produced by those workers.
Yes, I'm not sure I'd call it 'pre-washing' (it's just washing?) but we agree. To be clear I don't 'pre-wash in the sink', I was saying it's absurd to me and didn't even occur to me as an option or a decision I was making not to - I also don't 'pre-wash' my clothes, for example - until seeing people (mostly Americans perhaps) talk about it online. I don't think I've ever even heard of it in person, nevermind known someone do it.
Unless you posted that sarcastically (hard to read on the internet), it's interesting you posted that under a pseudonym using what looks like an icloud "hide my email" address...
>Learning to code can be done on your own time, and you can get a job without a degree,

In a vacuum, yes. In reality, I'm not sure I would have gotten past courses in stuff like Systems, compilers, and networks without being able to poke at peers and professors alike in order to get my head around them. Maybe some curated masterclasses could do the same thing for cheaper ("hundreds" instead of thousands), but those are a much more recent phenomenon; certainly not something widely known nor available a decade ago when I started school.

It's also a matter of "you don't know what you dont know". There are all kinds of stories of prodigies who were tinkering with code since they were 10. Meanwhile, I'm a graphics engineer, and I didn't even know what DirectX was until my 2nd year of college. It's an affordance that is increasingly less of an option, but the ability to see and dabble in different domains really helped me shape what I enjoyed or didn't. Without that experimentation, I saw myself freshman year working as an Android app developer. That changed quickly.

There's a lot of factors to take into account.
I've heard this before[1] but anecdotally I just know lots of serious runners with serious injuries, to the point of needing surgery. If you're in a running club I bet you do too.

I don't know any cyclists or swimmers where the sport by itself has caused that kind of damage.

Myself, running gave me rather unpleasant sciatica by inflaming a tight psoas muscle.

I can compare it to road cycling and it's night and day. I can ride a 150 miler when I'm not that fit or flexible and once the tiredness has worn off I'll have no issues. I remember running a half marathon once when I was fit but without long, structured training and I was limping around for a week afterwards.

You could argue that's due to improper training or warm ups/downs, etc. but it just seems that running is very hard on the body for something we're evolved to do above everything else.

Anecdotally, I also know several cyclists in their 80s still riding about happily. I'd guess they'll ride until they don't want to any more and not because of injury.

> return 1 to the caller to indicate we did make an update.

This (both in awk and python code) seems useless, as the return value from update() is not used anyhere. Am I missing something obvious?
I'm with you on this, but is there a way to force input file to read in AWK? That would be a reason to choose the while loop over AWK's implicit iteration. In particular, overriding FILENAME in BEGIN does not do anything.
Having used dishwashers on three different continents (US, Europe, Asia), I can attest that they definitely do wash dishes. The only caveat I would add is that when my mid-1990s vintage US dishwasher broke, the modern replacement seemed to be far worse. The cycles took longer and dishes came out dirtier. I always suspected it was some energy efficiency mandate that ruined the dishwasher experience in the US as I have had no such issues in Europe or Asia. Maybe I'll try different detergents next time I'm back in the US...
I think this is a distortion between "factually incorrect" and "morally wrong", a reminder to be very careful about results on humans which are going to be used as pro-discrimination arguments.
thank you so much for the feedback, I also posted about this on reddit and multiple people loved the design but complained about the green haha, any suggestions on another, better shade? Looking for a hex code.

Would it explain why it fell in US and EU, but not Asia?
Directory structures is the ‘skill’ I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints about students not understanding. Particularly annoying for those teaching first year undergrad SWEng, since the gap between those self starters who have some idea of what’s going on and those who don’t really care and we’re pressured into it by parents is larger than ever.

It’s pretty unfair on those who have done the bare minimum amount of experience with computers that they have to sit through (and pay for!) being taught ‘this is what a file structure is and how it works’ for a not-trivial amount of time.
They also did't care that much about

A doctorate in lab technician? I highly doubt it.
Author here. I'm not entirely sure why this project would be of interest, but I noticed it here so figured I'd provide a little more context.

The test suite is small, and there are no concrete results. This is because the very first truly stressful test I got to produced terrible results. Instead of continuing, I began investigating that more closely. I also opened up a developer support ticket (distinct from a Feedback) with Apple. Apple got back to me about 3 day later, pointing out a bug in my use of TextKit 2. I'm a long-time TextKit 1 user, and this stuff is new to me. I also write a lot of bugs.

TextKit 1 is a very fast system. But with this problem addressed, TextKit 2 now outperforms it by quite a bit. From a performance perspective, it seems really good so far.

If you have any other questions, let me know!
I would really love to see a curated version of the Play Store that only lists the good apps and not the legion of shitty ones.
Do you have a source on these cancellation tokens for threads?

The cancellation crate hasn't been touched since 2016 and requires the running thread have a mechanism to be woken up. If you're in the middle of a read, you won't observe a wakeup unless you use an async-io function that can be timed out or interrupted.

This is no better than async/await. And await is just as obvious of the cancellation points.

That being said, there are also numerous crates for async rust cancellation tokens that can polled in parallel with a read such that you can observed the cancel instantly and switch to a cleanup process instead of immediately cancelling everything
Do you have sources on the X - ADL connection? I thought that was just a conspiracy theory.
Of course not all the knowledge will be left but enough to easily build basic engines using Stirling or Carnot cycles or even pressurized steam. Solar panels don't have to be 25% efficient, 5% amorphous silicon cells would also be very useful.
> X's spat with the ADL revealed how substantial their lobby power is.

Lol what? Advertisers literally pulled out because their ads showed up to actual Nazi, holocaust denying content. The ADL didn't (have to) do anything, the brands' brand safety teams did.
> Plus with laser interconnects they can actually beat fiber optic speed for cross-continent or cross-ocean back haul. (speed of light in vaccum, with fewer switches)

This sounds boring at first - I don't think any consumer really needs that. But high frequency traders will probably pay quite a lot for it.
I'm sure you are a better authority to report on the company's revenue than the owner
In Paris small shops like that typically don't have a vent on the roof, so they need to vent heat to the street at pedestrian level. Easily solved, if people cared.
Wormhole X-Treme!
It's hard to gauge what point you're making. You supposedly paid for class, if you could've skipped class and gotten all the benefit you got from it, did college give you the benefit, or was it just getting out in the world and being around people your age?
There's simplification, and there's "Spherical cow on a frictionless plane in a vacuum".
Not that it justifies the deletion, I wonder how a state sponsored propaganda outlet came to be regarded well among global audiences. It would be interesting to read up on what they have done to garner that image.
Few things are more emblematic of Musk’s descent into madness than tweeting to dozens of millions of his acolytes that the (((jews))) are engineering his failures.
ISRO missions leveraged Hohmann transfers to gradually raise the orbit. It does save on fuel using the Oberth effect. It also has somewhat less uncertainty. However, they were not gravitational slingshots. Have a look at the tweet linked by the other commenter - the probe approaches moon twice. The first approach causes a rather drastic change in velocity and trajectory. It's unlikely that such a change comes from the probe's thrusters alone. I assume that the second approach and capture is somewhat mild (tangential as the other commenter put it).

In comparison, the Chandrayaan and Mars orbiter missions approached their target only once. And the insertion was also somewhat drastic, with a long retro-burn.
Just don't eat bananas for a month to offset it.
I think the blame is not on either the devops or the developers, it is on the process. If a bug occurs than there should be atleast 5-6 different metrics / alerts that should be able to catch the bug.
I think this is a bit of a reductive -- and likely inaccurate -- approach, as university is (a) not seen by everybody as purely vocational training and (b) may have benefits that aren't as easily quantified.

For my part: I'm a high earner in a technical field who has a B.A. in English literature, despite having intended to major in computer science. My field of study helped me become more open-minded, improved my writing skills, and helped me to develop soft skills, all of which have been more helpful to my career than my technical skills (based on my own observations and feedback from peers and managers).

University can be a transformative experience if not treated as vocational training; but that's also a good argument for increased vocational training and less emphasis on attending university.
It seems quite un-presidential to think "Let me just sit here for another 10 minutes with these kids so they don't panic."... He (with 22 years of hindsight) could've just said "I'm sorry kids, something's come up that need my attention, so I'm going to have to go now.". Of course he didn't have any power to actually alter anything at that very moment (the attacks were basically done), but it was during such a fog of war that he/his team wouldn't have known yet that they were powerless...
The drop isn’t nearly as up for debate as the cause is. Let’s not get distracted here.

Some people need more evidence than this before they place blame on a group with such a history of prejudice against them.

Hell, I’m from a country that is far less touchy about the plight of the Jewish people compared to, say, the US. But inferring anything from this correlation without considering the wider context is absurd.

GP very obviously thinks that using 2-3x more words to essentially say “Jews control the media” gives their comment more intellectual standing
You mean if you are in the Secret Service?
I must be mistaken, but your comment really sounds like you're blaming Twitter's revenue problems -- easily explained by mismanagement -- on an all powerful cabal of Jews.
Then you block the runtime? _aha you got me, threads and pre-emptive concurrency is better_.

This is where you have a reasonable trade off. I have accepted that async gives me more control over my code. For that I have to accept that blocking can slow down the app. After running async rust in production for over 2 years now I've not seen any blocking tasks block the executor. Maybe I'm just good but my experience is that my colleagues who come from C# generally don't make these mistakes either
Fork them, I guess. That remains the main big advantage of open source.

I've had closed source apps, even paid ones, disappear without a trace from my phone and tablets, presumably after an OS update. I find that an incredibly shitty thing to be subjected to. If an OS update is going break any apps, I'd like to be warned about that.
I know I'm naive: I don't understand why US companies are so sensitive to respecting Israel. I don't know why our gov is so sensitive to this either. Israel - like all countries - deserves criticism, no? This can't purely be about respecting the billions spent on US weapons to defend Israel, right? I genuinely do not understand, because I think they'd happily buy from the military anyway.
Indeed, almost all trackers come with notifications and in the study notifications are included in the wearable-based intervention.

The result of 50% larger effects in multifaceted interventions versus wearable-based interventions is from a study by Brickwood (2019). In this study, they distinguish wearable-based interventions (interventions that included tools such as regular emails, text messages, online algorithms, or smartphone apps) and multifaceted interventions (using in addition established behavioral change techniques such as group or individual counseling or information sessions, financial incentives, or telephone counseling).

UBoot typically runs in supervisor mode while OpenSBI runs in machine mode (as would OPTEE) - OpenSBI's (and OPTEE's) memory is locked behind a PMAP block so it can't be hacked from supervisor mode

If your riscv core has hypervisor support that sits between machine mode and supervisor modes
You could check out alternates to see if any of them are better for you. You could try Cloudflare, or go with an open source analytics platform like Plausible.
Are you saying the only plausible explanation is, "the Jews?"

I'm sorry but under Elon X has become a platform where racists, xenophobes, conspiracy theorists, antisemites, islamophobes etc. have thrived - the ADL blame game from Elon smells of deflection from the reality that advertisers don't want to be associated with a platform that mainstreams unhinged content.
By lumping ADL and Meta together, and saying "they" have a strong hold on media of all types, this post crosses the line.

No, I thought my malware peddling accusation against them made that clear. I'm saying all the big corp websites are going to do it and you should jump ship now to the real internet, where people still host websites and run services for fun and a little profit on the side. I wouldn't dream of committing new code to github, or having a twitter, Facebook or google account and I can't understand why so many people cling to these honestly mediocre at best websites.
It is. Computer nerds undeniably buy into anti-Semitic conspiracies more than other conspiracies because of the amount of peddling they get in silly 4chan et al culture.
Glad it works for you!
>Look, the cost comes from somewhere.

yeah, the government let a private corporation manage it, and they lobbied for laws to make sure their loans are un-defaultable. It's just free, guaranteed money for them.

And college isn't getting more expensive because of higher costs, it's getting more expensive because they can add a bunch of fancy amenties that are used as advertisement, even if it doesn't directly help with the education aspect. Even 10 years ago there were thousands of dollars of costs per semester on misc. fees that I couldn't opt out of. it was basically a tax from my school.

So yeah, the cost comes from somewhere, and both the funders and the beneficiaries have every incentive to bloat it.

In some respects it would have an opposite effect: no more Zoom calls; if you want contact with someone, go out and find them.

Seems like it could require additional police presence, and they'll find it difficult to be effective without radios. We will need to look at centuries-old playbooks for virtually all aspects of life, temporarily. Hoaxes will spread without rapid fact checking.

Water from springs (then creeks) comes out of the ground pre-filtered, some springs are salty, others are red from high concentrations of iron and so on. Second reason is because it's running water, so it doesn't stay in one place accumulating minerals.
Thats why i'm asking for evidence
No. Where did you hallucinate me saying that? According to Elon it's just the ADL lobbied hard in US & EU.
Yeah. The problem though, I would rather it didn't use its own database and relied on Health APIs... so this feature would have to be implemented in Health APIs themselves, I suppose.
The moment FB started requiring this is the day it started dieing. Everyone moved to Instagram which is also owned by Meta now but doesn't have the requirement.
It's in maintenance mode, and still has a role.

However, the focus has moved to py4web [1] which has many of web2py's strengths (including the DAL), but with a more orthodox architecture at the cost of a little more complexity and a slightly steeper learning curve.

Wow I have heard so much that Al Jazeera is pretty reliable, never did I realise until I read your comment that they are owned by Qatari monarchy. Qatar, the country everyone was practically calling us to boycott in the 2022 World Cup. Not suitable to hold the World Cup but suitable for us to get news from apparently. They do generally seem to have a high quality of journalism though so I am suprised at how they maintain at least a decent amount of integrity.
Last time I tested an extension of mine on Edge, I counted four or five distinct ways Windows and Edge tried to convince or coax me into setting Edge as default. (Coaxing includes but isn’t limited to full-screen one-click “finish setting up your computer” on boot which includes adopting “Microsoft-recommended” browser security settings which of course means resetting the default browser. It appeared on every reboot until someone told me about a setting to disable it.) Mind you, the four or five ways I encountered were from using Windows 11 Pro normally or opening Edge briefly; I’m not even counting additional conditional shenanigans like special banner on chrome.com, or asking you to use Microsoft everything (including on mobile devices) to bump up your position in Bing Chat waitlist.

The brazenness and shamelessness is really appalling.
i2c is also for EDID https://blog.danman.eu/emulating-hdmi-connection/
I don't know how this can be used in a very old and large codebase where no single person knows everything. There is too much state and unknowns at any given time. IDE with breakpoints does help explore the state through stack.
