Did Scientific American use to have higher standards, or was I just naive when I believed them to be a respectable source for accurate information?
Here is a complimentary question: why don't Americans living in state X move to state Y whereby state Y would be clearly better for them?

I think it answers most of the original question.
When I was around 12 or 13, I had the Epstein-Barr virus.

For a couple of *months* I couldn’t:
- Walk straight. Always looked like I was completely drunk
- Speak normally. Each word I spoke was only half-finished and I had to constantly re-pronounce any words again and again
- Write on paper. I just couldn’t write a single sentence, it just didn’t work. I had practically lost the “precision ” of any movements

Not to mention the constant headache and pain in the throat.

I am wondering why it lasted that long and if it had left any sort of permanent effects.
It's different though, because the Google revenue machine relies on having "sufficient" market share (particularly in Search and Maps).

Fall below that line, whatever it is, and their ability to generate revenue looks very different.

So it'd be more like if people stopped wanting Coke if it fell below 40% market share.

A closer analogy would be the price Coke could charge third parties to be co-stocked in Coke machines.
So I should be thanking those states for Starlink?
yeah I'd like to see MS-DOS edit.exe do what sublime does, or open files larger than 16kB or whatever the limit was for that thing.

very light memory usage though, so modern software is obviously so much worse.
I believe at least some semantic version parsers would not accept version zero. I'd need to find the definition though. I could be wrong of course.
That's funny, there exists a similar issue with the LG G7 that a friend of mine ran into several years ago. The fingerprint sensor on his phone just straight-up completely stopped working, and subsequent OS updates did nothing to fix it. At first we assumed it was hardware failure, and he was ready to send it to a repair shop. While investigating it I saw a comment somewhere that it had something to do with the light sensor, and after holding my thumb over it for 10 seconds it "magically" started working again after 4 months of being completely non-functional.
With SQLite by default nobody else can even read the database while it's being written, so your comment would be better directed to a conventional database server.
The restroom debate is always odd to me, I would 100% pay to use "single occupant gender neutral restroom"

Public Restrooms are terrible, I would prefer to be alone when I am using them. I am not sure why people fight so hard to preserve something so bad....
The question that we need to ask is "Will unlimited lies kill us faster than unlimited truth".

If we can avoid global warfare with unlimited truth/lies then what we are doing is fine.

If we cannot, then openness is a dead end. Democracy will vote in authoritarian leaders to attempt to overcome the ocean of lies and bullshit and we will destroy ourselves.
Now you're saying that a potential for surveillance is enough to reduce a thing to a surverillance technology? Not intent, not actual use, just the possibility?

I wish they would add ebook DRM to the list. Amazon has essentially locked the Kindle so that it can only purchase from Amazon and Amazon ebooks can only be used on the Kindle. On top of that, they offer no way of transferring ebooks and, AFAIK, offer no way to remove DRM after a work enters the public domain.

PostgreSQL supports heap tables, which should blow away SQLite's mandatory clustered index tables in an unindexed insert test.
Maybe I am quite used to doing interviews as a candidate, but when I decide to not open some specifics around being dismissed is to avoid some downstream questions that can place me in an uncomfortable position of not having leverage and most important raise some yellow lights in the interviewer to get something out of this.

Ex: _You worked here for 1 and half years. Why did you leave?_

In this case, if I get evasive and put some personal circumstance around it as relocation, new moment of life, etc.; the interviewer will try to wrap it die to the fact that this does not bring any potential signal for the position.

However, saying that I was laid off, at least will raise some downstream questions like "Why have you been dismissed?", "Tell me about the relationship with the team?", "What's the feedback that your boss gave to you?"; and the sad thing is that some of those questions are not specifically to understand circumstances and have a clear picture, a bit at least will serve as a signal and in a worst-case as an eliminatory.
At least for the previous model, the sensor module was an all-in-one that I was able to easily replace myself with the exact part from AliExpress. It wasn’t officially replaceable but it was fewer than 10 screws and like a 2/10 difficulty. Afterwards it booted right up.

> The extra ceremony ("unsafe { foo.get_unchecked(n) {" vs "foo[n]" makes this even simpler to catch in code review

Right, and in said code review, the webp author could have easily said “yup, we want unsafe here because we already checked up front that the buffer shall not exceed k elements”. Sure it’s easier to see that unchecked access is happening, but when the whole point of large sections of the huffman table code in webp is to make this very thing work, it wouldn’t cause any additional scrutiny in a code review. In other words, it would already be super clear to the reviewer that bounds checking is being disabled for performance sake, seeing the word `unsafe` as ceremony isn’t really adding any information here.

It’s possible webp could have been implemented in rust with a naive approach to early bounds checking and relying on the optimizer to elide it, but having looked at the code, with all the buffer sizes they’re passing around, it looks unlikely that equivalent rust code would have been able to auto-optimize it. I don’t think it’s unlikely at all that, in this parallel universe, they would have found the bounds checking to be a decent enough overhead that they would have reached for unchecked access, and would have passed code review the same way the current code did.
Just the idea that you can buy something to be net-zero is junk. No further research needed.

From the report: 16% were problematic, AKA they could not determine with enough precision if they were junk. The remaining 6% didn't publish enough information to even assess them.

So yes, they are also junk.
We will do anything but decrease our dependency on oil and gas (automobiles, energy generation, …), meat production/consumption, regulate O&G producers, and make our cities more efficient (migrate away from car centric transportation in the USA).
There have been anti-vaccine communities since vaccines were created.

Honestly that part doesn't worry me. It's more about repeating the fascism of the 1930s that will drive people away from democracy right into the hands of authoritarians because the world turns into a post-truth uncertain mess.
Redundancy. Also, 40$ smoke detectors can take a while to alert you to a fire in your basement etc. So it’s often a good idea to have a whole house smoke alarm system.
This is a little like saying that asphalting the forest will stop the wildfires. Technically is correct; but as solution it brings also some undesirable consequences. Goats came with soil erosion, promoting climate change, or overgrazing.

Goats are invasive, not autochtonous species. Californian coastal ecosystems had lost too much endemic species yet. We need a better way, and to think further out of the box. not all areas should be grazed

1. 18 years total, 3 jobs (9 years, 4 years, 5 years).

2. I did choose to relocate for my 3rd job. I was specifically looking for companies in new locations where I wanted to live. I will specify that my job's locations were as follows: in office (10 mile commute, suburb only), fully remote, in office (16 mile commute, suburb and city driving)

3. no

4. n/a

For more context, I should say that I'm no longer at job #3 because I quit to start a new company, but that company did end up doing layoffs, but not for a few months after I left and had I stayed I wouldn't have been affected. Every time I've gotten a new job it's because I've decided I wanted to pursue something else.

The Permian Basin in Texas, which has provided most of the oil supply growth for the last decade, is starting to slowly decline from its peak. Let's say that climate change is a nice way to tell people that we're running out of oil. Why would you want to do that? You'd want to say that energy demand is the problem, not energy supply. Thus, we need to get people to cut back on their usage and come together in a global rules based order to implement that. Telling the world we are running out of oil will encourage hyper-nationalism and cause the oil exporters to prematurely starve the rest of the world in an every nation for itself war of all against all.

What would be the tells that oil supply depletion is what's really going on?

Electrification of transport would be a high priority.

Carbon credits would be likely BS and half-hearted and nobody would check.

If you're not using an MFA mechanism attached to your SSO (Google Authenticator or Okta or something) then that's a completely separate issue. There shouldn't be that much risk in letting all of your SRE's have access to the root credentials; you can lock down who can see what in your vault based on roles for any PW manager worth anything.

You could also rotate the root password every time there's a departure from the teams that have visiblity if it's that big of a deal.

No. While it's certainly easiest to identify video streaming if the content is served in the clear, it's also possible to mark streams as video without making the content (or its identifiers) available. If everything is limited to 1.5 Mbps, you're just letting the carrier know who is watching something; but it's not hard to guess that someone is watching something based on the origin of traffic and other signs: if you download a short burst of data from Netflix CDN, you're probably running the fast.com speed test; if it's about 40 minutes of sustained data transfer, you probably watched a TV episode, if it's more like 2 hours, it was likely a movie, etc.

There's a benefit to the video providers, the carrier, and users, if this is done in a reasonable way. And I think T-Mobile's approach is the most reasonable way I've seen (at least from what's been said publicly)
> What you describing is only possible for hobby game developers with extremely small scale of a game or development time of 4-5 years.

This is demonstrably untrue. It wasn't all that long ago that there were no game engines available for use, and yet small devs managed to produce a ton of great games anyway. It is true that a small developer is unlikely to be able to produce a grand AAA-scale game in a reasonable time, though.

> Majority of game developers simply dont have skillset to work with audio, graphics APIs and cross platform support.

Then perhaps they should gain that skillset? I would have assumed that any game dev is well-versed in doing these things regardless, but if not, isn't that a problem?
I was actually surprised that I can't do that when I switched to Kagi a few weeks ago, I thought adding a default search engine is table stakes at this point but was surprised to learn that on iOS you have to install Kagi's Safari extension to interject search queries somehow to get default search engine behaviour.

Ah well so he's just a Nazi. That makes it much much better. As long as you didn't commit provable war crimes, SS Nazi officers get to have a standing ovation in parliament here in Canada.

Personally I think it just comes down to the student cheating themselves. If they're in a job interview and don't have ChatGPT handy AND they've been using ChatGPT to get answers directly instead of asking how to arrive at the answer, I think they're going to have a hard time getting that job.

However, if they always have ChatGPT available and can always get the right answers (either by luck, prompt engineering skills, or an ability to determine if an answer is correct), I don't see them having a hard time competing in the workplace at all for most commonly solved problems.

Hopefully the teacher would do a sufficient job teaching such that if the non-ChatGPT-using student puts forth adequate effort, they'll be able to get the answers as well, but maybe not as quickly as those using ChatGPT.
They used to be much better, it's not your imagination. When I was a kid I read every issue of sciam and new scientist I could get my hands on and ya know maybe their magazine is still alright but nearly anytime I end on their website these days I regret it.

In my experience a missing await is the most common bug. Inadvertently run something in the background for an instant race condition, and hard to find.

I think there should be no default for how to call an async function from another async function. Both waiting for a response and not waiting (starting a "background task") should be acknowledged in the code. Perhaps not allowing a promise return value to be silently dropped would be enough.

Sync functions are easy in comparison.

Edit: I guess there is a lint rule:

It's amazing how incompetent they seem in this area. They even shut down another podcast app before your journey began, called Google listen.

I'm referring to the UK in general. The FTTP roll-out has been delayed to 2030 (which is, if I remember correctly, 5 years ahead of the original date).

The best I've ever had is Virgin with DOCSIS, which is an unfortunate situation -- in that space, you quite literally have no competition amongst providers. Surprised the regulator hasn't done anything about it.
Kind of crazy we're still using monolithic kernels in 2023. Nothing about `io_uring` needs to happen with elevated privileges.

Completely agree.

> The thing is: Capitalism demands perpetual (growing) growth. Pay-per-download would have helped tremendously with this.

Disagree. The market provided a strong answer in the form of: "No, we hate this model and will literally do extra work (switch game engines) to avoid it".
Additionally, 5G is closer to wifi than anything else. They're putting a lot more access points with shorter range around closer to homes. And it does become congested during high traffic times.

That's an ideal example of the limitation. A single tower with a wide range can't handle the same volume of devices in the area. So by using 5G it's just closer and closer to home, with fewer people using it at each point.

No question that it solves the last mile problem for these companies though. It's a lot easier to run fiber to an access point at the edge of your neighborhood than it is to run it to every house in that neighborhood.

Honestly the web as we know it is pretty much dead. Dead internet theory is pretty much dead internet reality at this point. Only a few highly curated sites remain useful (this site included).

Almost every issue on the 2A they discuss is untruthful. The Rittenhouse case comes to mind immediately where they lied about all the encounters that were proven wrong in court. They avoid anything that makes the left look bad. Lying by omission is still lying. They continuously link stories to racism, lgqbtq, "people of color" that have nothing to do with any of that as well.

Keep listening to them if you want. I used to be an avid listener, just realize that they've lost a TON of loyal listeners due to their heavily biased reporting in the last few years.

This was more of a stab at "semantic" part of the semantic versioning (which similar to <div> in semantic Web... found its own semantics that don't follow from its definitions). You are definitely not the only one using it like this.

I believe this is the problem with the format of semantic version which seem to assume that releases only happen to software ready to be... released :)

My preferred course of action in such situations is not specify a version at all.

Honestly I feel like the science community’s disregard for religion has caused them to completely fail at dealing with human psychology. Science has spent the last 1.5 centuries presenting itself as a counterpoint to religion, but they fail to understand that religion is just an early attempt at talking about the subconscious.

So the science community continually misidentifies issues stemming from the subconscious as pseudoscience. Jung was right.

The interesting question here is whether figuring out whether an answer is subtly wrong is more efficient/effective than writing the answer yourself. It's probably more fun though.
