Henry VIII created the Church of England in 1534 for the purposes of granting himself an annulment. Most histories count Martin Luther's 95 Theses as beginning of the Reformation in 1517 (a crisp date for a less-than-crisp event; Luther did not originally see himself as protesting the Roman Catholic Church). The Protestant Reformation was a heterogeneous movement from the beginning.

I wasn’t thinking of the fast-food workers but rather the clientele. With American salaries being as high as they are, and a lot of other things in life being priced relatively high, I would have expected the American fast-food industry to easily get away with raising prices up to $20/meal, at least in some US markets.
This is a fine timepiece.

A worthy chronometer to suit a crashed pilot.
No! It wasn't my intention to get the puppy sandwich removed. Isn't this the whole point of art? To invoke an emotional reaction? I vote to bring back the puppy sandwich, and add in a kitten sandwich for balance ;)
Security and risk. You can run several different code/pom/package.json scanner tools that will articulate a risk that will send your IT security department into a panic attack, which you can sell as time you need to spend fixing things.
I wish they had Red Alert 2. My favorite.
I have not read the paper yet, but what a great title - a very welcome change from the formulaic 'verbing the noun: towards a metastatic model of semantic construction' that has become so widespread over the last couple of decades.
Not really, no. It was Luther who kick-started Protestantism. Henry VIII attempted to supplant the Pope, and kind of slid into Protestantism by accident.
Which one is it? I see a Yamaha DX1, an EMU emulator II and Technics PX.

There are some screens that look like Fairlight control screens. Is the Fairlight used for the background drums and base etc?
C has use-after-free and double-free safety if you patch out free. Not really a solution, is it?
One thing that stands out as odd to me is the small selection of really "good" game engines.

Unreal seems to have the most features and the steepest learning curve.

Unity is comparatively easier to learn. Fewer features but C# support is a big plus. The major downside is that the company is run by incompetent MBA brains.

Godot is open source (awesome!) but doesn't seem ready for prime time. It doesn't have as many features as the other two and the commitment to GDscript seems... odd.

If I were picking a game engine today, it'd be between Unreal and Godot, but I'm not sure I'd feel great about either choice.
Valve doing god’s work. Other companies should take note. The amount of good will steam is buying with their linux gaming contributions is through the roof. And i am pretty sure valve is making a killing in profits.
so make it less bad, or stop complaining.

if you're complaining without a plan of action to address the complaint, you are speaking for attention alone.

fork it and fix it, then use that version. open your fork so you can help others.

you other commenters can continue to complain and whine endlessly or you can put your money where your mouth is and actually do something.

what's it gonna be?
Or you move society forward instead of backwards and do something social while avoiding all the legacy made up bullshit from the past.
"The language is named after Pierre Catala, a professor of law who pionneered the French legaltech by creating a computer database of law cases, Juris-Data."

As a native Catalan speaker I was quite surprised with the name! But it makes sense, since it's quite a common surname!
> It’s garbage content and immediately recognizable as being AI generated.

Yea, but the Turning Test is actively being assaulted. Soon we won't know the difference between an uninspired book written by an AI and an uninspired book written by a human.
so fork it and work on it yourself.

do I have to tell everyone what the MIT license allows?
Article text does not support the title. Elon was clearly talking about moving from ad revenue to subscription revenue which already happened. Nothing about charging all users a fee
How you can say that while also saying

> Because 100 years is nothing in geological time obviously. The only reason not to do it is to choose to not understand the problem as completely as possible.

Which is it? Are you concerned with geologic time scale changes? Or are you just saying it would be nice to have more datapoints in which case the reference to geologic time is irrelevant.

The ice levels “billions of years” ago are utterly irrelevant.
I've heard about some efforts to regreen the desert by careful planting and geoforming. Anyone know anything about this? It would be cool if it could work, even partially.

fossile remnants

The quoted text give lie to the title. Nobody said it was an onion etc. Just that it was built new structures on old, all changing, integrated more or less well.

Not being pedantic, I don't think? The title is disparaging, deconstructing the idea to the point of ridicule. It's reasonable to say "Nobody said that!"
They can be distinguished. They are just becoming more difficult to. Its slightly-more difficult, but also the amount of garbage is overwhelming. AI can spit out entire books in moments that would take an individual months or years to write.

There are lots of fake recipe books on amazon for instance. But how can you really be sure without trying the recipes? It might look like a recipe at first glance, but if its telling you to use the right ingredients in a subtly-wrong way, its hard to tell at first glance that you won't actually end up with edible food. Some examples are easy to point at, like the case of the recipe book that lists Zelda food items as ingredients, but they aren't always that obvious.

I saw someone giving programming advice on discord a few weeks ago. Advice that was blatantly copy/pasted from chat GPT in response to a very specific technical question. It looked like an answer at first glance, but the file type of the config file chat GPT provided wasn't correct, and on top of that it was just making up config options in attempt to solve the problem. I told the user this, they deleted their response and admitted it was from chatGPT. However, the user asking the question didn't know the intricacies of "what config options are available" and "what file types are valid configuration files". This could have wasted so much of their time, dealing with further errors about invalid config files, or options that did not exist.
Another great contribution would be fine-tuning open source LLMs on less popular tech. I've seen ChatGPT struggling with htmx, for example (I presume the training dataset was small?), whereas it performs really well teaching React (huge training set, I presume)
Lol really? I don't think I'd ever seen a video of that sort recommended to me. (Knock on wood)

Is it possible someone in your household is playing a prank on you?
My mind is blown that someone gets so little value out of an LLM. I get over software engineering stumbling blocks much faster by interrogating an LLM's knowledge about the subject. How do you explain that added value? Are you skeptical that I am actually moving and producing things faster?

> Can you quantify "magnitude easier"

what I mean is that making friends requires almost no effort from my part when I'm in latin america or asia. maybe it is the cool foreigner effect but having a 2 min chat turn into being invited to a party is not somethign I ever experience when I'm in the united states.

dating prospects are better too. the few times I start a conversation with women, it ends up in a soft rejection. Meanwhile I have plenty of female friends (sometimes with benefits) come out of interactions with women down in latin america despite the language barrier. they are far more open to meet people and seeing where things go, american women always seem so guarded by contrast and at this point I dont even bother with them anymore because they are always so avoidant.
If I find a Total Annihilation remake, I’ll have to kiss my free time goodbye. That was the one strategy game like this that I really got into.
That was the case just for the anglican church, which is only one "part" of the reformation.

Do you have a citation on mesquite spreading from Texas with cattle? I ask because the aforementioned information boards in the Anza-Borrego State Park speak of the local Native American population consuming mesquite, and Wikipedia, too, says the same about those Cahuilla people of southern California. From what I gather, it is only certain species that have later been invasive?
For a librarian, they’re confidently asserting factual statements suspiciously often, and refer me to primary literature shockingly rarely.
Would it though? The trade winds converge over central Africa, which is already quite lush, so presumably any extra moisture would just be deposited there instead of a few thousand miles to the north.
I was an early armchair skeptic, and I've always had a not-so-secret love of the F-16. But after watching an F-35 demo at a recent airshow, I'm a convert. Anyone who says this plane can't out-dogfight an F-16 is delusional.
All of this and more is covered in DroidMaker [1], a book that covers Lucas' contributions to film and film technology. Star Wars may have had a huge impact, but it's clear that those contributions are dwarfed by his work on the digital and tech side of the industry. He not only started (what became) Pixar, but he completely revolutionized film editing moving it into the digital age.

Is the switch complete when the implementation is done or when it actually replaces the lost ad revenue?
One thing I learned the other day, I don’t know if it is what is going on there, but some artificial turf is supposed to be watered heavily before people play on it.

I went to a field hockey game where they watered the turf before the match and watered it at every intermission with big sprinklers, not to grow anything but just to make it perform the way they want it to and I understand they do the same for the soccer field right next to it. Of course this is in upstate NY where we have the water.

^ that is what that is. Or, in more detail: https://github.com/Enegnei/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor/blob/mast...

You can't connect real things like these documents with slander by people who do nothing to step on the toes of the NSA. That is all that the BS about Assange or Appelbaum being a sex menace or Snowden being a Russian asset is. "Oh noes, they're a threat to the work we're not doing". Nobody is asking you to get drinks with Assange or Appelbaum. They don't want to be your friend. It's okay if you don't like them, for whatever personal reasons (and choosing to fall for this crap falls under personal reasons). It's not okay to be part of a mob that murders people by throwing a pebble each with this plausible deniability, in this "genuinely curious" just wondering kind of way. Enough is enough.

It certainly isn't fascinating. 3 letter agencies are torturing and murdering people, and having nothing better to do than gossip about gossip about messengers is just vulgar, boring, infantile cowardice, puffed up with not even clever words.
More detail downthread, but I don't feel like growing up attending Catholic mass every week did much community-wise. We'd show up, sit down, do the rituals, and head home, without really interacting much (if at all) with fellow parishioners.

Certainly there were people who were more involved -- the church had a youth group, for one thing, and a bunch of outreach programs. But those were the kind of things that you had to specifically seek out, apart from the usual religious services. And if you aren't going to get community-building out of the religious services themselves, then you might as well build community outside the church entirely.

Not saying that all religious/church communities are all the same; my girlfriend in high school was much more involved with her church community (different religion). But her experience seemed to be more of an outlier than the norm.
If you think Como, Incheon or Reading are anything like Beverly hills, Brookline or Piedmont, then I'm not sure you're getting my point.

All 3 of my examples are within 10 minutes walking/driving from the downtown core of the city. Yet, they have carved out a completely isolated township for themselves, so as to avoid taxation from the parent city, while benefiting from every aspects of being geographically inside the parent city. It stops a city from expanding organically, leading to oddly tiny cities (SF) or city boundaries that look like a kids scribbles (LA, Boston).

If you city isn't propagating radially from the downtown core then there better be a good explanation for it.
There are, but it used to take actual time and effort to produce a book (good or bad), meaning that the small pool of experts in the world could help distinguish good from bad.

Now that it’s possible to produce mediocrity at scale, that process breaks down. How is a beginner supposed to know whether the tutorial they’re reading is a legitimate tutorial that uses best practices, or an AI-generated tutorial that mashes together various bits of advice from whatever’s on the internet?
> The Japanese realize that immigration would destroy their society. The Mormons don't, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Go back to the 19th century, and the LDS Church was heavily involved in encouraging people to convert to their religion and immigrate to Utah. Many of their missionaries in Europe were not just seeking converts, but also immigrants.

Nowadays, the LDS Church doesn't put any great emphasis on encouraging their overseas flock to immigrate to Utah. But if they changed their mind about that, I doubt LDS immigrants from Asia or Latin America would destroy the society of Mormon Utah, any more than 19th century European Mormon immigrants did. If anything, I think it would be less destructive than US intrastate migration of non-Mormons into Utah, which has been going on for a long time now.
I'm curious as to how successful they were at subverting the IETF process. It wouldn't be impossible, but since much of the process is in the open it could be difficult, especially if they did it under their own name.

I suspect most of it was done under different corporate identities, and probaby just managed to slow adoption of systematic security architectures. Of course, once the Snowden papers came out, all that effort was rendered moot as the IETF reacted pretty hard.
TIL: International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)
I agree. The man's work was impressive. What many see as his signature style was not a quirk or a limit to his talent, but the result of his talent and his drive. He had got proficient in painting in multiple styles and had been intentionally developing a style to be his own.
> F35 has gun-pods and absolutely is expected to play some CAS role

> in a war you use what you can get your hands on

In a war you don't use a multi-billion toy for it's marketing qualities. Because this is the way lose your multi-billion toy.

> MANPADs are (probably) useless

Beam riders (eg Starstreak). And as soon as you are -lt 2km then you are in IR/UV/Image recognition danger zone too, because: low, fast, precise - choose two.

> albeit a crappy job at

*sigh*

No. It can't do CAS with it's guns. It can do precision drops for CAS (which were done by F-16 against fortified and non-moving targets quite effectively) but it never would be deployed in A-10 style, because that would be the one step before the embarrassment of losing a modern stealth fighter to some MANPAD.

> an airplane it can't even see

At 5-7km? Are you sure it can't be seen at all at that distance? It's a radar absorbing and a radar dispersing materials, not an invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. And yes, you can point it and spray-n-pray. With AAA rate of fire you can do this.

> Are the operators expected to aim and shoot purely on optics?

"but in a war you use what you can get your hands on"
successfully reach out to all contributors to the Linux kernel and then tell me CLAs are bad for a corporation.

you open source people, man. you give all developers a horrible reputation. put up or shut up, lol
I mean, are there detailed accident reports for the sort of military plane with “keep it away from the enemy” type equipment onboard? Seems like you wouldn’t want to give away information about crash behavior since that could help the enemy recover the equipment.

Not saying it is plausible or not in the first place, I have no idea, but I don’t see how a lack of published reports of this happening in the real world proves anything.
Moves are atomic. During the move, at no time is it possible to get the contents of file 1 and file 2 confused when reading from the file descriptors. (Confusion by the human operating things is eminently possible.)
FileDownloaderAccount had no copy pastable secret that can be leaked. Shared passwords are unnecessary of course and not good. If people are going to do that just use OneDrive/Dropbox rather than letting people use advanced things.
To illustrate inequality? Surely his artwork does that. Just not in the same rigid structure they imagined he would.
> The best way to protect PII is to ruthlessly minimize it in your system.

Absolutely, been trying to preach this for ~10 years now at various companies.

Another argument to make is that I can guarantee 100% certainty against leaks with a budget of $0, for all the data columns that I never had. Such a deal!

Any other choice is going to cost a lot more and have reduced chance of success.

Sure, we need to handle some sensitive data to run the business but choose selectively, since every one just adds both cost and risk.

>Unity has spent the last five years working on speeding up their scripting with crazy projects such as building two custom compilers, SIMD maths libraries, custom collections and allocators, and of course the giant (and very much unfinished) ECS project. It’s been their CTO’s primary focus since 2018.

That would be Joachim Ante, who is no longer CTO. He's "on sabbatical" and hasn't contributed any posts to the forums for over a year. (He used to be quite active on Unity's forums.) The entire leadership of the ECS/DOTS team has resigned.
Nice post. In the past I've had colleagues (also senior people) who disliked touching "legacy" parts (e.g. Java based microservices compared to newer Express.js or Kotlin based microservices which don't provide half the value that the legacy parts do).
I also think that maintenance programming can be rewarding. However, I do believe that it does not make sense to throw entry-level engineers into the maintenance mess alone: they still need some guidance in my experience. Then you'll be able to reap the benefits such as getting better in debugging and understanding more about the business problems that the software is solving.
Went to a concert the other night, happened to be at a winery. They had wine sales. Walk up to the cashier, ask for a bottle (only bottles), and how many plastic cups. They hand you both, and you can uncork off to the side.

Tip options for this "service" (on wines ranging from $28-60/bottle): "20, 25, 30 or 35%".
My mind is also blown by how much people seemingly get out of them.

Maybe they’re just orders of magnitude more useful at the beginning of a career, when it’s more important to digest and distill readily-available information than to come up with original solutions to edge cases or solve gnarly puzzles?

Maybe I also simply don’t write enough code anymore :)
Just want to heap on with the praise here and say that this was definitely the best experience I've had with any tool trying to add monitoring for a Next.js full-stack application. The Client Sessions tab where I, out of the box, can correlate front-end actions and back-end operations for a particular user is especially nice.

Great job!
I was on the developer beta from day 1, then switched to the public beta when that opened up. I haven't encountered any bugs significant enough that I remember details about them.

I'm not saying it was bugfree, just that the apps I use most were in decent shape from the start. (But I still acknowledge that you or anyone else might've had a very different experience from mine.)
They should remember that even Unity had to deprecate the Boo language to go forward :)
Wait.. does this mean an enemy fighter jet with F-35 level of stealth capabilities can penetrate the US mainland without being detected?

I thought US had the air defense system that can defend against some level stealth aircrafts. Is that not the case?
For drones it makes sense. Drones could boot up with all config in RAM so as to be completely devoid of mission parameters once power is cut.
Especially in light of the releases of LLaMA and v2.
I wonder when it's going to sink in that Twitter isn't a business.

Heh. Going to be a lot less maintenance work if they are.
I mean, clearly you don’t: OpenDocument works just fine without it.

You need key/value lookup, a way to list/paginate, and transaction semantics for updates.

AKA: a zip file with entries as keys, and XML documents or attachment blobs for values. What’s lacking and causes issues is the update semantics.

You can wack a SQL query language over those 3 operations if you’d like. Or don’t. Up to you, because the format is defined and can be reimplemented rather than the large, complex library api.
Such systems just result in content that is terribly bland, or worse, intentionally limited to push specific political narratives.

I'd rather have a much more diverse and interesting set of content to choose from, even if some of it might not be to my liking, and even if I'd have to put some effort into previewing or filtering before I find something I want to consume.
