Gold is the only currency that kept it's value through time.

There's a reason people buy gold. 1kg of Argentinian gold has the same value as 1kg of American gold. And both have the same value as 1kg of gold from any ancient civilization. Big rocks as currency is purely anecdotic.

Of course, if you're in the desert and you're thirsty, a bottle of water has more value to you than all the gold in the world, but that doesn't change the fact that through millennia people has seen gold as something valuable that it's not tied to an economy, a country, an empire or even a culture despite de Incas.

Doubt. The economic decline of the American south was well on its way by the 19th century. That some prisoners today make license plates has no material affect on US GDP - this claim needs sources.
If you're implying there's no coverage of 9/11 on the front page, there's an eight-panel widget and at least one linked article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/11/nyregion/sept-11-memorial...

The 9/11 section has as much coverage space as tomorrow's rumored iPhone announcement.

And, yes, at some point in the near future, it's going to be as meaningful to the American public as the Tet Offensive, Oklahoma City bombing, etc.
That's how it should be done IMO. But the quota should be directly on the thing you want to cap, which are emissions and not flying per se.

> Seems that relative import is implemented as relative to where the python.exe executed instead of the place where the file is.

That's not true, why do you think that? Relative Imports are anoying BS, but by default they do work based on the package-hierachy of the executed file, at least with normal Python. It could be there is something in your setup or handling of imports which changes this behaviour, as changing the import-mechnism is possible in python.

> So the nature is depending on where you run the doctest or where you put your jupyter notebook, all imports inside the project will break!

Maybe in those cases, the executed file is not what you think it is? So your top-level package is not located where your test is. Do you execute the test-file directly (python3 test.py), or do you use some starter-script (py.test test.py)?

I use Kinesis Advantage 2, and have been doing so for about 10 years now. So it's hard for me to relate. But, in a rare event that I need to use a more conventional keyboard, I press right Ctrl with my thumb.

In the beginning of my exposure to Emacs I did rebind CapsLock, but that offered little relief. The true quality of life improvement comes from not pressing Ctrl+<anything> with the same hand. Anything that requires Meta or Ctrl -- automatically use both hands.
My guess is that, yeah, if you empty them of water
You expect it to know things like that the user wants it to act as a home assistant without being told? That’s not common sense, that’s mind reading
Yes, but don't forget that you can't compose `next` based iterators.
That might be a small limitation, but it means that you can't do something like.

```js
let pipelineA = map(i => i+1); // or makeComplexPipelineA();
let pipelineB = filter(i => i.isEven()); // makeComplexPipelineB();

let pipeline = pipelineA.combine(pipelineB);

let result = [1,2,3,4,5].transform(pipeline);
```

Firefox is perfectly customizable. You can make the tabs look however you want with a config. Want them out of the way and appear when you mouse over on the left edge? You can have it like that. You also don’t need to use any features you don’t want to use. You can even hide them entirely with a config file.
Maybe there should be also some sort of exponential component. So more quota you buy more you have to pay extra tax on it...

the thing is, even if you "own" your data you still need to give it to companies to use their product. unless everyone runs software locally, in which case the majority of the populace needs to learn how to use devices rather than falling for the trashy "itjustworks™" chromebooks and convenience devices that milk them for data profits whilst appearing cheaper and better to integrate into their lives.

especially with google - you cant run services like theirs locally really, and even if you request your data, you cant ever really find out how they use it or what they have done with it. its the illusion of ownership. data isnt ownable. its simply transferable.
I have a surge suppresor in the 15 year old power bar that feeds my computer so I'm set.
yeah but notice the JAXA one is different, since it approaches the moon twice.

It starts sort of the same way, but then it uses the moon's own attraction to project itself much further out and then come back approaching the moon in a different way.
First thing I'd say is that there's no "one size fits all" approach. The right answer depends on the language, the project, the requirements, the amount of churn, the timeline, etc. So I 100% believe you when you say you've found success by moving the focus toward implementation tests. =)

But in my experiences, I've had major issues with a reliance on integration tests. This is almost exclusively in Rails.

- They're slow, because there wasn't an easy way to stub out the slow stuff

- If you stub out the slow stuff now you have no coverage for the stubbed stuff, unless you also have unit tests covering the guts of the app

- When integration tests fail, it can take a lot of work to investigate the cause, as opposed to granular unit tests
Only tangentially related, but the new hot shit i recently learned about is "conversational commerce", i.e. services that let companies spam their target markets on messengers like whatsapp in situations like the ones you describe, or when a certain product is back in stock etc..

i think it's an absolutely disgusting invasion of supposedly personal communication spaces. My ex "works" (cold messaging people on linkedin) for a startup that does this and i genuinely don't understand how otherwise lovely amazing people can throw their morals under the bus like that and willingly dedicate 40+ hours of their lives week after week to making the world a shittier place.
You should be sympathetic to the random company because it keeps the lights on for millions of people. If a handful of people have the ability to say "I've taken care of ME, so I'm not going to engage with society anymore", then they may put an impractically large burden on their neighbor who lacks the capital to build their own solar. You should also be sympathetic to the fact that the folks with their own solar still want to be attached to the grid without paying for its upkeep and that's not fair.

You absolutely, 100%, do not want free market economics on power! This is a necessity that has a huge capital cost meaning you are often given only a single company that can supply you with energy. You do NOT want that to be a free market. You want the government to protect your rates, which they do.
I think you've been very unlucky with dishwashers.
What intrinsic value? It's shiny and rare, valuable for the same reason BitCoin is. The industrial usage of gold is limited to niche uses.

The Spanish price revolution crippled the Spanish state due to the huge inflation driven by New World treasure fleets. Gold is nothing special here.
I fail to see what that has to do with anything, unless you’re asserting that current rust is GC’d on the back of arc existing.

Bert Inference Throughput Deathmatch
Feels like it was yesterday it came out. It's hard to convey to people who didn't watch it growing up just how special it was.

It landed on TV right as the collective zeitgeist around the governments around the world getting up to shady things ("Echelon's trunk trawler") and the perpetually amusing mythology and conspiracy theories around aliens, ufos, DNA and parascience. Few had BBS/internet/WWW access, so it was much harder to stamp out a lot of the low-level conspiracies that used to float around back then. That helped keep the spirit of X-files alive, somehow. Hm, it's hard to describe.

It's weirdly of its time, and yet it holds up so well -- or at least until it goes off the rails in the later seasons. Still, fantastic cast; great writing, all around; and surprisingly, the special effects and costumes hold up really well, too. The first 4-5 seasons are electrifyingly good because they filmed it in Canada, so it retains this dark, brooding boreal feeling to it.

The amount of gossip around school and between friends whenever a new mythology episode landed was especially fun.
> Passwords alone are not good enough security.

This made me think for a moment. Why not, though?

My password manager generates random passwords with numbers, special characters and whatnot with a length of 24 characters. Even I don't know most of my passwords at this point, so what's the problem with (secure) passwords?

Poor application security? That's not really my problem, is it?

edit: to add this. I know that "test123" would be a problem, but my secure passwords can not be guessed by anybody or really be bruteforced. so, what does 2FA really protect me from in those cases?
AMD have repeatedly dropped the ball when it comes to software support for compute and AI. Their hardware is quite capable, but very few people can actually make it work, which means most of the existing models have poor AMD support.

This is getting better with ROCm and such, but that's Linux-only and only works for a subset of tasks.

Both Intel and Apple have better "out of the box" support for ML and the ability to invest more into making these things work (e.g. Apple have implemented Stable Diffusion against Core ML themselves)

> Most designers I work with don't have the vocabulary or knowledge about what makes something "usable" in the wider sense, let alone the ability to actually solve subtle interaction design or information display problems.

That's wild. We _had_ to read Design of Everyday Things as part of an HCI course in my Software Engineering curriculum. You couldn't get your degree without having some working knowledge of affordances and signifiers. I was under the impression, at the time, that we were dipping our toes into a world which UI/UX designers were intimately familiar with. Perhaps not.

IANAGCE (I am not a GC expert.) I thought there were potential costs to using GS.

1. Interrupting the program to sweep, resulting in unpredictable performance.

2. Possibility that a circularly linked group of variables could be impossible to sweep, resulting in memory leaks.

3. Need to check reference counts (along with bounds checks) that degrade performance.

Lack of GC (and bounds checking) are factors that make C/C++ performant and then lead to the kind of bugs that result in programs that don't do what they're supposed to do (and at worst, result in security vulnerabilities.)

I thought a key goal of Rust was to fix these problems without sacrificing performance.
> - Initialising the DRAM controller and sizing memory

Hum I don't really understand that one. Based on the article I understood that the code before SBI was directly bootrom, and usually bootrom doesn't init DRAM (at least that's not how rockchip/allwinner/amlogic SoCs behave). So what's the expectation on how SoC vendors implement DDR init code? It's expected that SoC vendor push this code to bootrom (thus costing more in maskrom)?

Hiring managers are morons. They don't know what SRE or DevOps actually is. They think it's a systems administrator who can write Python.

well, do you trust this company to only give those advertisers what you think you're presenting?
We have strong standards - but if there is only one implementation, that quickly becomes the standard no matter the text in the actual formalised standard.

That's no guarantee. See Jupiter moon exploration - there were _two_ proposed NASA/ESA ones, both cancelled when NASA pulled out. ESA then did their own one (JUICE) and now NASA is doing a couple of its own, too.
Definitely a tantrum. It's diluted tritium. It's almost a shame to throw it away.

> Python’s increased dominance appears to be largely at the expense of smaller, more specialized, languages. It has become the jack-of-all-trades language—and the master of some, such as AI, where powerful and extensive libraries make it ubiquitous.

Python being described as a jack-of-all-trades and master of some is a really succinct way of explaining it's dominance. One of my kids is about old enough to start learning to program. At this point, I can't see a reason to teach her anything but Python.
But there's nothing in the article to suggest that these events actually affected the entire world. Most of the analysis seems to have been carried out in the northern hemisphere. If one of these events happened, perhaps it'd affect only one hemisphere or we'd have portions of the world unaffected or partially unaffected and able to provide assistance.

Firefox being at the bottom has nothing to do with what mozilla does. Its because they are going against google that pesters you to download chrome. The network effects of everyone downloading chrome for 15 years. The idea that google is one of the largest companies on earth and mozilla is a rag tag team. Firefox is better. You objectively have a worse experience on chrome or edge or safari. Most users otoh just don’t care about vetting software. They stick to what they know. Go to a library or cafe and be disappointed how many people browse the web with zero ad blocking because they simply don’t know any better.
> To sell ads, websites need to be able to show what demographics of people have clicked on ads

Not really. You just need to look at any normal billboard; advertisers bought that billboard, even though it knows nothing about demographics or "attribution".

Tracking just makes advertising more cost-effective. To the advertiser, not to me. I'm not an advertiser; I gain nothing from the cheapness of advertising. It makes no difference to me whether an ad is targeted or not; I don't want to see it. Especially if it writhes and wriggles distractingly, or autoplays video.
> What is not well documented IMHO is that you don't have to load the config at runtime - if you place the JSON file in the (compile time changeable) /var/lib/unit directory it will be loaded on startup, similar to a traditional /etc config file. But it also will get updated at runtime, if configuration is uploaded on the config socket, making it persist service restarts, hence /var is more appropriate than /etc.

Thank you very much for this example, and calling out the config file option.

Do you find that you get any use from the config api in your setup (vs pushing a new container)?

I imagine it might be more useful if nginx unit acts like a k8s ingress like setup?

As for:

> both webserver and php configuration are in one file[1].

That's just the line in the Docker file:

(in case it doesn't work: on the 5:40 mark)
With a GC you can basically write whatever you want with reckless abandon and because it's cleaned up at runtime, it's mostly kosher.

Without a GC (i.e. rust), in order to be able to make guarantees about things that it cannot determine at compile time (this is a mathematical impossibility) it restricts the set of programs you can write.
I think I agree with you, but I would add another option: buy subscription services. These services have a strong incentive to keep their userbase happy.

I agree that if your private functionality has grown complex, that's a strong "code smell" that perhaps it needs to be extracted.

But yeah, then you've changed it from private to public.
