> The best of both worlds would be a text-based tool to hold the semantics of your graph, and then a drag&drop interface to fix the layout.

Exactly this, I wonder why no one has come up with it yet. Maybe you could embed the layout details like coordinates of elements inside the markup in a separate section?
Not that anyone would find this useful or practical, but I wonder if it would make sense to define an alternate protocol where the handshake is asynchronous and doesn't require the server to hold a continuously open connection while the client performs the encryption. This might be a non-starter for interactive applications, but for batch things like downloading emails (where you could get away with checking for new mails every hour or so) this could be tolerable.
I think the post you responded to is referring to non-covid stuff, like the economy still seems pretty weird, there are teacher and daycare worker shortages, and just service worker shortages in general, and there seems to be other weird stuff coming out of the era like a ton of shoplifting and a seeming pull-back by police forces.

It's unclear (to me) how real or unusual any of these things are, or whether they were caused by the pandemic or were already baked in somehow, but from an intuitive point of view, I do find myself frequently thinking "why isn't stuff working right?" more often than I think I was four years ago.
I wasn't aware of that, thank you!
I think that’s not the case any more. I didn’t have to do this

We’re arguably living in one of the most peaceful periods in history[0]. There are wars, but there is literally a political body where 193 of 195 countries regularly discuss issues with physical violence. Assuming violence is a proxy for greed, it’s quite a time to be alive (we’ll see how long it lasts).

No, for C and C++, which are close to the hardware, it's totally reasonable to expect strlen() to give you the byte count. You don't allocate memory for buffers based on the cluster count.

If you want cluster count, call a different function.

I guess I should have said you should wait to learn programming until you start rebelling.
And the purpose of a for profit corporation is - to make a profit. Why should Apple care about going after the low end market? Only one Android maker makes any real profit - Samsung. How much of that is due to them also making some of their own components and having differentiated proprietary software that some people must like?

Again, we are getting back to the advantage of an integrated solution.

Most Android aficionados think that the Pixels are the best Android phones - another integrated product
I've never even heard of it before.
I may have a misunderstanding of how the ion flow is described. I always thought it was the water which moved from low saturation to high (which reduces the saturation of the solution), but on a molecular level that could just be too simplified an explanation.

So I guess if the ions are being pulled across the channel, molecules of fresh water would be coming over from the other side little by little and don't let the salt come out of solution?

Just like open access, I think at some point this sort of interoperability just has to be demanded by those actually funding the research. Two many narrow interests with no spare effort to coordinate otherwise.

> What types of limitations do you suppose?

I don't see the capacity for LLMs to perform novel and creative reasoning tasks. They're limited by virtue of being a pattern-matching system without the ability to make genuine causal or logical inferences.

This is the normal procedure in Spain when people refuse to blow also.

What many people don't know is that the blood test is not only less convenient, but typically also more accurate. It gives a direct alcohol-in-blood measure, so is a higher value. Therefore the situation gets worse for the driver that does not comply.

This assuming that the driver behave 100% politely against the police (not always the case in the mix idiot driving + booze) Starting to insult the police is just the cherry on top for winning an extra-juicy fine.

Most Police will understand that having a tracheotomy is a reasonable excuse to avoid the blow test, and will pass directly to the blood test (or will decide to take other measures first according to the case). This people simply can't blow in a normal way, so can't perform the test accurately.

Ho man. Works so well for email and phone calls huh?

Maybe (maybe!) large players will pay attention as they have a lot to lose and aren’t able to ‘dodge’ well. But there are millions of fly by night scam operations that come and go.

Only real solution here is, like email, user side filtering and infrastructure level black holeing of offenders.
People find it easier to follow rules rather than principles.

The 10 commandments tell you what to do/not to do. The Beatitudes offer values and require interpretation to put into practice. They also are more ambiguous in their punishment/reward on the physical/spiritual level.

Compare:

"You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal."

vs

"3 Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted."
...
"25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry."
What? It's the opposite of literally all these things.
That's my point, they live because they're most likely profitable.

Sure, as a sometime cyclist I am not discounting that as a reason. I made the comment above as I found it was something that perhaps isn't mentioned as much but really does give an immediate quality of life improvement.
it's sad how many places are only staffing with senior+ engineers.
This is spot on. I was having this exact discussion last week about how best to "strangle" an older application and deploy the new replacement for an upcoming project.
You can supplement given salad, literally any salad, with something chunkier but still reasonably healthy that will keep you satiated for long. Can be anything from whole bread, chunk of some quality cheese, boil few eggs at home and just bring them, slices of good quality ham/sausages etc.

If you have some big blood glucose swings (which end up in cravings for example), I would recommend tackling that as underlying issue, great improvements of quality of your life lie there. You can train your body to almost any regime including healthier ones, the only requirement is a bit of discipline in the beginning.
Sorry I meant in Wine.
Some anecdata - I learned to code in my 20s and it took years of experience to start being more critical and recognize when to switch to new technologies.

IMO people should learn to program in college. Leave the teenage years for making mistakes and having experiences with people, not anti-socially typing at a computer.
Huh. That's exactly the same security flaw as Moonpig had. Tom Scott made a video about it.
There's one difference though: in the case of public servants, we (the electorate) still have power over them.

“No” is your friend in such scenarios. “Because I made it for me and I don’t need that” is your other friend if people are insistent. (A screenshot of the “fork” button on Github might be a third, rather muscly friend who doesn’t like to talk.)

I do understand the desire to be helpful but one should put themself first when it comes to fulfilling requests. Just in case anyone gets here and is similarly discouraged.

While I'm not religious, it is admirable to me when someone takes a stance on something they believe in at a cost to their own personal pocket book.
Modern nuclear plants can scale much more aggressively than older plants. This is also true of coal plants as well. Still not perfect to have them be load following resources though.
I wonder if Unpack works on a function? I assume it’s any callable.
that's not moderation. that is surveillance.

we can argue how much surveillance is acceptable or necessary. but that is a different topic.

the purpose of moderation is to avoid discussions being sidetracked by extreme messages or bad faith replies or other noise, so we can focus on the topic at hand.

but whatever happens in these groups does not affect the discussion in the groups i am joining, so their moderation is quite irrelevant to me and provides me no benefit.

this is different on public forums like hackernews where i can access all content and expect to have a civil discussion everywhere. hence moderation here is necessary and welcome.

but if telegram were to come in and try to police speech in my private group then i'd be very upset and look for a different service with more privacy.

what you are effectively advocating for is that such private groups should not be allowed to exist because there is no way to control what is being shared in those groups.

yes, we want to stop these things, but blaming the tools for allowing them to happen is the wrong approach. either we allow private conversations or we don't. if we don't, then noone can have private conversations anywhere. that is not something you should want.

I appreciate the link, but also Wikipedia is kinda a pain for some technical things. The absolute minimum and technically correct descriptions are so often ... not very illuminating.

Granted it's not Wikipedia's point, but it also makes their article's hard to digest at times.
> Wouldn't this make you more critical of what you are learning and better able to adapt to changing technologies in the long term?

Probably not. If anything, its probably better to learn programming before the teenage rebellion phase, or, at least, to learn the kind of problem solving skills that programming exercises early.
They definitely will. In the US, cops typically apply for an electronic warrant from the local on-call judge on the way to or at the hospital and a nurse will administer the blood draw. Go watch a couple DUI arrests on youtube, it's the most routine thing for the cops and medical staff.
It’s not a “fantastic random fact”. It’s not America that has a weird fascination with Apple products. People with money who can afford to buy a better integrated product - choose to buy one.

The reason Apple products are more popular in the US is partially because people in the US have higher incomes and in the US, because if 0% interest payment plans and carrier subsidies, they are more affordable.

When people can, they buy the integrated product instead of worrying about some theoretical “freedoms” or running Linux on the Apple Pencil
Again you should probably specify jurisdiction you want this plan to be under and why you think it's good legal advice, because as the article pointed out, in the UK you can be charged for not providing (and they probably blood test you) and in many areas of the US they will blood test you, so your legal advice of drunken chicken is irresponsible without caveats, which I suppose is somewhat fitting considering you're trying to advise the criminally irresponsible.
It feels like we're going in cycles. C was somewhat lax with type checking, thus C++ and Java were both made more strict. Looking to escape the tyranny of static typing, the rise of Python, Ruby, or JavaScript instead left us with a desire that Rust, Go, and TypeScript now fulfill. I wonder what's the next step? LLMs are extremely broad in what they accept, but don't exactly fill the same niches.
> average person no longer needs to hire a photographer either.

Make you can become an independent filmmaker. It seems like creatives won't need Hollywood tools or capital in the future, either.

Musings aside, I'm not so certain people won't need a photographer to be present at weddings anyway. They can't exactly trust that to an appliance. They get one shot to take the pictures, and they need to make it work.
That may be the case in the UK, where this study was done, but in many states in the US there is so-called "implied consent", and refusal to do the breathalyzer results in your license being suspended regardless of any DUI conviction.

This may or may not be as big of a deal nowdays, what with WFH. But I'd have a hell of a time explaining myself if they asked why my wife was dropping me off and picking me up from work for the next 2 years.
Given that strlen() predates Unicode by...30 years(?) - it's not terribly surprising that isn't a viable approach.
I'm not sure how to interpret these lines in a way that doesn't suggest support for unchecked immigration:

Oh I see. So the few people on that last leg are just ones who booked a flight to Adelaide and they’re not allowed to sell more. I did not understand what parent meant about that but thanks that makes sense.
I still think about this when flying, ultimately it’s a choice and you have to trust a whole chain of humans ( pilots, techs, controllers, engineers, suppliers ) doing things the right way - makes you realize flight is really a miracle
Yes, its called a photographic memory and only very few people have it. It cannot be trained.
I’m surprised they allowed security to review the contents, and didn’t just allow the thumb drives to flow in a single direction
This may be true in some situations, but in others, it can result in automatic suspension of your license, and/or they can just get a warrant for a blood test.

I've also seen people convicted because, despite several hours' delay in obtaining a BAC, they were able to extrapolate back to the time of the accident. (There is apparently some dispute among forensic professionals on the validity of this, which implies the extrapolated value could be higher than actual)
I dislike it because it's kinda hard to understand (can't really say I did) specially without any context, and programming language release notes are something people should read even a hundred years afterwards.
Every time I read similar story I try to think from the ISP / Network Provider perspective but still fail to understand where their rational are coming from. Other than pure greed.

They could have cut their their customer's access to Big Tech. And we all know their customer will switch to another network. Their sole purpose is to connect their customer to the wider Internet. And the Internet are already operating with peering and IXP.

As much as I hate to say it, May be Apple should ask all these Telecoms to pay to access Apple's infrastructure. That is from CDN to iCloud. I am pretty sure Apple's customer will switch network rather than switching ISP.
Well yes, clearly -- 2005 is before 2008. But it's interesting to see who gets selected when so many other researchers end up being involved with these major technologies before and after a single paper.
Almost nothing about MicroTik can be described as "out of the box" or easy, but they can be configured to do SMB using the onboard USB connector.

With increasing rents on retail space, how sustainable is that policy? Could the difference between customer flow 7 days a week and 6 days a week make or break a location?
The most surprising thing here is a Google Research paper with code release
The article points out that Failure to Provide "can have serious consequences for the offender including driving disqualifications, a maximum possible sentence of six months’ imprisonment and an unlimited fine.", so it's a bad move there as well.
It's not exactly the same as email though. Email servers don't have a culture and you don't generally interact with other users of your email server unless they have given you the email address. And most people don't choose their email server. For personal email they use Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook and at work they use the provider their IT Department chose.
> how would you like it if that announcement, say, contained an abortion-related proclamation that you don't agree with?

"If they said something else wouldn't you feel different?"

A key insight is that the poem doesn't contain an abortion-related proclamation that you don't agree with.
Phenylephrine was approved in the 70s and classified as "Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective", which allowed companies to start selling it in pill form without going through the normal approval process as soon as Pseudoephedrine started requiring ID to purchase. Dozens of companies sold versions of this not just Pfizer and J&J.

This isn't in any way comparable, because thousands of doctors and dozens of medical groups have been pointing out that it's not effective for years. There was no effort to "silence" any of them, and no requirement to pay off or even convince regulators and law makers to do anything in order to get it approved. It just took time for the wheels of regulatory momentum to do anything about it.

If anything it shows what happens when a bad drug is approved or starts being sold. Thousands of doctors and dozens of reputable medical groups start speaking up--no global Pharma conspiracy can keep them from doing so.
> those who almost universally loathe their own country's products.

In Indian rural side, "desi" (native) is almost always synonyms with bad quality, not cheap which is implied, but bad quality. I heard that desi in many foreign country means Indian?!

Desi or swadesi (home made) had a special emotional appeal to urban upper middle class leadership during freedom struggle. I don't know how they feel about it.

Chandrayaan from ISRO was a very significant moment in this regard. Done by desi engineers educated in desi schools. I am one of those.
That's exactly what you want for easy control of grid stability. Say you typically fluctuate between 100 and 150 GW of demand. You turn on 80GW of nuke, leave it running all the time, and then as resources come available from intermittent sources those can contribute to total load requirements. If you have a wide enough diversity of intermittent sources this works well. The problem with intermittent generation sources is that you must either store energy or overprovision generation to make up for the gaps in availability (or make wildly expensive transmission improvements but that is another discussion). For reasons of expense and reliability you must make a tradeoff between how much of your generation is reliable baseload and how much is intermittent generation. Nuke + intermittent sources is a very good match.
Already have this problem with our subdivision lol. Private road, and replacing the road is going to be $20k a house even over 20 years or something even with a bond lol, and that’s a normal, reasonable-density subdivision. People don’t realize how much rural and suburban roads are getting subsidized.
It’s like pointer chasing, except the docs having you chase around kwargs are incomplete and there’s gaps. You have to read source code.

The Azure SDK is full of them, making liberal use of kwargs.pop. What a nightmare.

Cycle-walking FPE has a (nearly) unbounded upper-bound on latency.

Breaking the 122 bits into two 61-bit halves and using AES as the round function for a Feistel cipher gives you a constant 3-encryption latency instead of the expected 64-encryption average latency of the cycle-walking format preserving encryption.

Alternatively, use AES in VIL mode ( https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~mihir/papers/lpe.pdf ).
> I could never wrap my mind around how this makes sense. Nuclear has a fixed output, it doesn’t scale up and down the way fossil fuel plants do.

Nuclear can and does regulate its output. And the fuel rods should last longer if you run at less than full output. But fuel cost is not a large component of nuclear energy cost, so it doesn't make a lot of economic sense to operate them far above or below their steady state maximum capacity.

I agree that nuclear doesn't make a good backfill for intermittant sources; but it's not because they can't, it's because the economics aren't good.
Four. Obviously.

The more interesting question is whether the Unicode rules actually give that answer.

EDIT: Just checked it using the first online tool [1] that came up and it indeed says four. So all is good.

The core problem is that you're making it harder to be an environment supporter. It's the equivalent telling the average Joe that if he supports the environment but still eats meat daily he's a hypocrite and should feel bad. The environmental impact of raising meat is well known, so advocating for environmental measures while not taking the trivial effort of not eating meat one day per week is pretty hypocritical as well. I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather have as broad support base as possible to get environmental measures promoted and passed, than a smaller group of diehard activists each trying to police each other on ideological purity.
