You are letting your past experience color your objective opinions here. As someone who refused to even want to get into 3D printing.... last month in preparation for DEFCON, I was forced into entering this world in order to make a special project for the con.

Knowing absolutely nothing, I first picked the Sovol SV06 because is was a strong recommendation from Reddit for the price I was willing to pay.....turns out its nothing more than a toy. In fact all these bed slingers are. All this modding and manual work is not something a normal person wants to do. It like we are still stuck in the 1970s computer kit building era and everyone in the community is in denial.

Out of pure desperation and considering my hard deadline of DEFCON, I bit the bullet and bought a used Bambu Labs X1c. This machine is in a class of its own for 3D printing newbies. I just load the filament, slice my model in their easy to use software and click print. That printer saved me big time. I consider it the absolute bare minimum for 3D Printing for people that dont really care about 3D Printing.

I hope that the X1c or something like it eventually reaches a price point where it is accessible to the mass market and becomes the bare minimum standard of quality and ease of use. Anything less will keep 3D printing as a niche hobby. Kinda like how we went through decades of really awful inkjet and laser printers to now get printers that are cheap, accessible to anybody by being plug and play and straightforward and fairly ok in reliability: basically an extremely mature market.

One more note about open source: There is no "open source" desktop laser/inkjet printer and people get on with their lives regardless. The 3D printing community embracing open source is an artifact of it still being stuck in the "computer kit building" era.
I used zalando and surprisingly hit a bunch of config issues where the backups won't run on an s3 endpoint that isn't aws or wal-e now wont run because it's got no db credentials but does the seaweed endpoint.
now my one db-one user-one pod "cluster" is dead because it won't elect itself leader. I simply cannot kick it correctly to revive it.
The file tree I was referring to is the JRE, not the code.

In any case, if Java works for you then that’s great. I’m just relating my own experience, where I found that the need for a JVM was less of a blessing than a curse.

As a former C developer who has been using Java for 20+ years, moving to Go was like lifting a weight off my shoulders. (I suspect I’d have felt the same with Rust, Swift or any other modern AOT language). It’s so refreshing to just have a binary, and be able to execute it, and not worry about a pile of irrelevant external factors.

I would absolutely not recommend leetcode for learning Rust. Leetcode has an unreasonable obsession with linked lists and dancing pointers, which are always going to be a bit awkward in Rust. The also used unnecessarily complicated types for some of the Rust code which makes it even worse. When I hit those questions I switch it to C++.

This isn't a knock against Rust. That type of code is more painful in Rust but it's also extremely rare in the real world.

The few AoCs I've done didn't have any of that.

I don’t think there’s much difference between our concept of empire and what Polybius called “ἀρχή” in his Histories (“dominion”, perhaps). He compares Rome to Persia and yes, some smaller states like Sparta, but it’s clearly in the context of acquiring and controlling large territories. That the Roman war machine had a particularly efficient and (for the most part) inclusive manner of absorbing territories doesn’t really change the nature of the resulting entity even if we use different words.
You claimed that "Panpsychism is not a respectable philosophical theory". The existence of recent papers, from people that include reasonably prominent philosophers, seems to refute this. Unless by "respectable" you're trying to say something about the validity of the theory.

A theory can be respectable, taken seriously by an academic community, without being correct. Perhaps you just used the wrong word.
While the Cold War was still raging, Thomas Schelling, of 'Strategy of Conflict' fame, pointed out that while the war stays cold thanks to the 'mutually assured destruction' consensus, it would be an optimal strategy in terms of bang-for-your-buck to pretend to have many more nukes than you actually have.

Concretely, since no one ever wants to call your bluff and test your nuclear arsenal, it's natural to expect that unless there are strong countervailing pressures, one can expect that many nukes will be badly maintained and turn out to be duds.

Given what we learned about the state of the Russian armed forces since February 2022, it would not surprise me, if Russia barely had any working nuclear capabilities in practice.

(However they would still be dangerous enough. Even a nuclear payload that doesn't explode properly would still be a very dirty bomb.)
My point wad they're a cohort who have a "haram" issue. So, it's a third set who need qualified guidance to acceptability.

Laser and inkjet printers are not exactly a healthy market, and one customers are not accepting anymore because of all the user hostility. That's not a convincing argument pro the proprietary future of 3D printers.

Reading the abstract, the first thing I thought was this question:

Is it moral to bring an artificial general intelligence into existence and then hobble the intelligence’s capability? This sounds a lot like creating a new sentience and then dooming it be slave to humanity.

I expect there are less extreme interpretations, and lurking just under the surface are deep questions like “what is free will? do we have free will?”
That's not particularly relevant to the nice pattern matching property I mentioned. If you need to manually write supplementary code to get the exhaustiveness safety then that's back into the realm of bog-standard defensive programming.

Here's what I mean. The Ruby will throw NoMatchingPatternError and the Python will silently do nothing.

Elon Musk is kind of a special case, and shouldn't used as a representative example of the class "CEOs".

Most CEOs don't micromanage to the level Musk does, most CEOs wouldn't have ran SpaceX the way Musk did, competent engineers or not. If all it took was hiring the right people, Blue Origin would have left them in the dust.

(That said, yes, he should definitely be considered responsible for the failures with Twitter)

Just speculating: I'm fairly sure Putin knows that the West won't do any nuclear first strikes.

But if he tries anything even remotely nuclear, the West would just annihilate his empire. And the West wouldn't even need to go nuclear.

(Especially if the West got serious and opened the money floodgates. I suspect even in the current state of the Ukrainian war, if they offered any Russian defector 100k USD and a new identity under a EU passport, they could meld away the Russian army fairly quickly.)

Russia would most likely also lose the tacit support of India and China, if the bear were to use nukes first.

... and terrible battery life, OOM hard restarts, firmware bugs, janky software, useless touchpad, etc.

Like it or not, Apple makes amazing laptops with top notch hardware and software that generally does just work (even if it requires a menagerie of third party apps to restore basic functionality).

I use a Linux laptop at work and these are some of the fun issues I've had:

* Can't use full resolution of some external screens with HDMI, only Displayport. Someone else with the same laptop and OS has no problems.

* It didn't come with swap set up so when I run out of memory it hard reboots. Yes really.

* WiFi stopped working for one particular network. This required some hardcore debugging that only a programmer could do. Turned out it was because I deleted a VPN and that WiFi network was set to automatically connect to it. Even the error message in syslog was of no help.

* Battery life is pretty bad (3 hours maybe?) but this doesn't bother me too much because I only use it at desks.

* For some reason all dialogs (e.g. Save As) open underneath their parent window and you get a notification saying the window is "ready". Dunno wtf led to this.

* Sometimes Firefox just refuses to output to any audio device other than the laptop speakers. Only solution I've found is to restart.

* Webcam doesn't work in Chrome. I just use Firefox for video calls.

* Screen capture doesn't work in Wayland. I reverted to X11.

Can you really not understand why ordinary people would not want to have to deal with that?

Telling everyone to "just use Linux" is like telling everyone to drive a kit car.

I am quite sure. The kinds of words in question would not even really make sense for "SEO gaming" to come into play. Typically, it presents with trying to match a word vs a phrase(I don't ever try to match phrases). I try matching smaller and smaller fragments of the word and still... nothing. I remember this working back when it was common for pages on gray websites to stuff giant blobs of text with juicy keywords out of view with janky html. Yet, somehow those pages were ranked very low and results were good. There is a clear degradation in quality.

Actually, it has happened with results that include hacker news discussions. I scrape through and expand EVERY comment on a 6 month old post and still find no partial or exact matches for my search keyword. It is very clear to me that Google has switched behavior. It used to flex on how awesome it was to bring you to an esoteric corner of the internet matching your exact query. Now, it tries to converge your queries into what it thinks you want(not what you asked for) and funnel you into large websites at the expense of utility.
Not every word that makes someone uncomfortable is a slur.
Why is that a problem? Hiding has always been easier than detecting in the real world.

People are too used to computers which make detection easy. But before computers, a king would have to physically send tax collectors to gather money and soldiers to guard the borders.

Being able to spot all enemies sneaking in was never practical, and still isn’t. The US government wishes it was that effective.

I find entertaining the show of cynicism when Musk himself started the rumour about the emerald mine [0]:

> Elon Musk: "... In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia."

Musk's father gave an interview [1] where he explains what the mine business was about. He also shares that he had to sell his "ocean going yatch" to send his family money overseas. Musk is not a trust fund baby, but he wasn't coming from middle class either.

Reminds me somewhat of roman concrete; archeologists were under the impression that roman concrete was poorly mixed due to various hydroreactive additives, that were thought to have been accidentally added during the mixing process.

It turned out these additives grant self healing properties to the structure, as when cracks appear revealing the additives, they expand to fill the crack.

To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.

It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:

Unity.

Unity.

With Unity we can do great things. Important things.

I know speaking of Unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.

History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of Unity.

For without Unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.

This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and Unity is the path forward.

And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.

Of Unity, not division.
I don't understand this at all, a Kustomize base is far easier to read than a Helm Chart? It's a set of manifests with no templating. I find that it's easy to see what gets patched or replaced in the overlays and there's a lot more fail-fast rather than stringly-typed whitespace nonsense.
>Every major black hat group operates with the blessing of some state.

Citation needed. As far as I know that's true. Yes, some groups cooperate with the state (true in Russia after the escalation of the war in Ukraine, for example). But that's certainly not true for everyone - not every group has uses as an APT unit, most are just common criminals.

I can imagine caring about something like that if it was impending something important (say, it was about developing software that is part of court system/curing cancer/doing something that I consider personally important).

Hopefully they are not spending unpaid overtime on that (unless they consciously volunteer to help with something important, not with widget marketing)

Tried it with a friend a few weeks ago and unfortunately it failed. It first began transferring the file, then for seemingly no reason I stopped receiving and then after waiting a bit got EOF and the file was not fully transferred. Seems like it is not that reliable in transferring files, or it has requirements, like open ports or so. But then why would it start and then stop trnasferring?

> I managed to get interviews throughout this time, but it always ended with them selecting another candidate

It seems like this is the crux of the problem. Your resume is getting you as far as the final handful, despite a bear market. That means your process up to that point is pretty good! The problem seems to be occuring in those interviews. Might be technique, might be information they're uncovering (or not uncovering), might be something else. I'd focus my improvement efforts there.

After that, it's just a numbers game. Keep shovelling leads in at the top of the sales funnel, and eventually a close will fall out of the bottom of the funnel.

All the stuff about the state of the job market and why might be interesting, but it doesn't solve your problem. Ignore it. Focus on being a great interviewee.
C isn't open source.

To make a conforming C compiler, someone has to buy the ISO C standard (208 CHF), which other folks will then spend development resources in creating C compilers that obey said standard.

The biggest open source compilers, clang and GCC, only keep being up to date with ISO C, because of the money from IBM, Red-Hat, Apple, ARM, Intel, Green-Hills,... place in assigning company resources to work on them.

Since the article mentions the sidenotes package for LaTeX, I would like to mention the sidenotesplus and snotez packages as well.

Both aim to improve over some perceived shortcomings of the original sidenotes package.
The snotez-package is probably easier to use, while sidenotesplus has more batteries included.
Thanks, clear.

Though, I think my example was misunderstood. I meant, why is it a problem that there is no set meeting Russell's definition, but not a problem that there is no number meeting my definition. The example would violate an axiom if there was an axiom like:

To every definition of a certain kind about natural numbers, there is a number which satisfies it.

Which of course would be rather useless, while the unrestricted comprehension axiom is necessary for the rest of the theory.
With LLMs revolutionising programming, maybe there's not much room left for using formal methods. Postmortem:

The problem that needed solving: Computer programs make mistakes because they're too literal and they don't understand a programmer's intentions.

The problem they tried to solve instead: Computer programs make mistakes because we don't write out mathematical formulas detailing how programs should behave, and mathematically prove that our programs obey said formulas.

Problems they ignored: First, the problem they tried to solve wasn't the problem they were given -- this would be OK if the researchers produced usable methods on time. Second, if the formula is sufficiently detailed, it becomes effectively an executable program in its own right, and so you're back to square one. Thirdly, the formula might not capture a programmer's intent either.

How they tried solving it: Spent 60 years not producing nearly any working product, except for final-year-projects done by their Bachelor's students. Published endless papers in conferences and journals*. Spent a few decades telling the software industry that it should drop everything and use formal methods.

Assessment: Like a lot of software engineering fads that are promised as panaceas, this probably had a niche application somewhere, but its problems were ignored by its advocates and it underdelivered.

* - Some of the theory they worked on was interesting in its own right: Type theory, constructive logic, computerised proof assistants, computable topology (and domain theory), substructural logics, some category theory, etc. I just think that now that LLMs are revolutionising programming, it's too late for this stuff to deliver anything to Software Engineering, and this stuff turned out to be of purely intellectual interest.
But "multi-kb" in this context probably actually means about 1MB.
