The molecules of a solid exert ~10x attractive force compared to molecules of a gas. In the Earths atmosphere every solid surface has a layer of gas molecules stuck to it, that prevents cold welding from happening.
Or just stop separating front end and backend. The worst companies to work for are the ones who separate these 2 then try to patch it with junk like graphql.
I didn't see this mentioned but I think it's worth pointing out some plants are just rare to a region, rather than being rare globally. They're hard to get a hold of in stores or nurseries so people rely on private or online sales to obtain them. Both options are pretty fraught; not everyone knows how to actually trim a plant for propagation, some plants don't propagate but are sold as if they do, and some people are just cruelly selling leaves they've chopped off. There's also this entire side industry of people who will graft flowers to cacti and paint succulents which often will kill the host in due time.

As someone that takes care of a lot of plants the idea of selling plant clippings for propagation seems wrong. Unless you're selling an already rooted seedling you're putting a lot to chance. Not every propagation will take and a fair amount of the chance depends on the person taking care of it doing the right things.
Owned a plant store up for a few years (closed earlier this year). One of the primary growers of "rare" plants in the US was Costa Farms out of Florida. For instance, the it plant for awhile was a Thai Constellation - the prices for a 4" were often north of $300+. Wholesale maybe $150ish. At some point Costa realized they couldn't grow them reliably (from seed) and flooded the market with their plants. You can now find decent 6" plants for cheaper than what the 4" was.

Similarly Pink Princesses started flooding Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. I get the idea of having your bucket list plants and wanting to get them at cheap prices if at all possible. Often, those from HD, etc. were not cared for properly and many had bugs and/or root rot and wouldn't last long.

The whole plant market for house plants was interesting.

Regionally things in CA were easy to get, but hard in OR/WA. The reverse was also true.

It was a fun business while it lasted for us, aside from the annoyance of reading FB groups where people obsessed about the lowest possible price - etc... We finally closed up shop mainly due to life being busy with higher priorities and finding reliable help (even paying well above minimum wage) was next to impossible.
Can you spell out what’s insane about AB 957? Because that sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
For me, I want cameras that will meet most of these same requirements, but are battery powered WiFi cameras, and don't require the use of a cloud service to operate.

Reolink makes decent cameras, but their battery models don't work with the Reolink NVR.

Arlo requires a cloud service.

Eufy has a home hub, but I don't know yet how well it actually works. I've seen some reviews, and I've actually bought a hub plus a couple of cameras, but I haven't tried to put it into actual use yet.

And I want this system to also support regular WiFi cameras, as well as PoE cameras.
SF needs to enforce its existing traffic laws first before introducing new ones. Drivers already run reds and stop signs at a prodigious rate.
Yes, it should be an alternative. In fury, we disabled it by default, and all those benchmarks doesn't enable it. Most objects are value bounded, not binary data bounded. Zero-copy won't have a big speed up too. But if the objects graph has many ByteBuffer/Tensor/DataFrame/ArrowTable, then the zero-copy will have a big leap. see python pickle5 out-of-band serialization to speed up pandas/numpy as an example

While the Spanish 8 reales was commonly cut, it actually didn't have great affordances for it.

There were two common types in the colonial era-- one had the monarch's portrait, and one had two globes between two pillars. Both types featured a coat of arms that if you squinted hard might have some quadrant lines in them, but they'd be raised-- making them harder to use as cut lines.

Aside from cutting the larger coins, Spanish territories also produced a lot of low-denomination silver coins. You can see this reflected in the scarcity of early US quarters; the 2-real coin was legal tender until 1857, so there was less pressure to produce quarters than dimes during the early years of limited mint capacity.

Oh we love our iPhones. But then as a computer OS, we get Windows. Some people try to stick with Apple, either because of Logic Pro or the M1 chip, but I'd say a good 85% of blind people that even have a computer in the first place, have Windows.
Just look at the Russia Ukraine war as an example of this. Total combat death is somewhere between 500k and 1m depending on sources. Probably the nastiest modern war since Korea and still the media portrays it as being sterile and almost clean. The horrors are mostly suppressed and forgotten. The almost no discussion of what daily life is like in the war zone or civilians nearby.

According to article 20 minutes
I'd wager most people here who don't get enough sleep aren't doing so out of some sort of grindset mentality, but because they simply cannot. I find it very hard to fall asleep, nearly impossible to sleep in (a consequence of getting older?), and more interrupted sleep. I'm reticent to try drugs to enable sleep because I've heard that the sleep they provide is not true sleep.

For me, I find my sleep suffers because of what some describe as "revenge bedtime procrastination". When my job is shit (i.e. now), I'm more inclined to stay on the PC later doing things that bring me some level of joy, or play games to escape the mind spinning its wheels. I seem to more easily recognise that my job is unfulfilling because I'm staying up later or I'm dreading going to bed. Going to bed early for a good night's sleep seems a lot easier a habit to build when my day-life is going well.
Hugeicons Pro: npm CLI, Figma Plugin for 25,000 Consistent Icons (6,500 Free)
Hugeicons Pro lets users access over 25,000 icons through its Figma Plugin, Web App, SVG, Iconjar, and npm CLI.

With the Hugeicons Pro "npm CLI", developers can download and manage Hugeicons Pro as source code.

Right now, the CLI lets you export code for SVG, React, and React TypeScript. Support for more languages will be available soon.
Why doesn't Github have some kind of policy about projects pretending to be open source and effectively acting as an ad on Github?
Good point, I used `lambda metafactory` too in fury, but only for some `constructor/getters`. I implements some Function utils to generate lambda function, see https://github.com/alipay/fury/blob/main/java/fury-core/src/...

I'm not sure whether `MethodHandle` can generate the most complicated code, since the serialization logic here are more complicated even than the manual written code.
The issue is that it's a spectrum: how easily you can shoot yourself in the foot, especially on accident, without awareness of the risks. And perhaps what the consequences are when you do. Risk and consequence. C is high risk and also high consequence.

In higher level languages, you can't shoot yourself in the foot nearly as easily in such a way as to trivially create a correctness problem and security vulnerability (like a buffer under/overflow). Languages like Java and C# make it pretty difficult to shoot yourself in the foot this way (though you still can in other ways, like with incorrect concurrency). Rust makes it a lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot across the board, especially on accident (i.e., without being aware that you're something dangerous and low-level, viz. `unsafe`).

Author here once again. I have the worst possible answer for this - most data teams that I've seen (and my network is large enough through my own socialising + my blog to be reasonably confident on this) are working on dashboards that could not conceivably be acted upon. As in, the nature of the thing they are reporting on is not susceptible to top-down intervention.

You are however totally correct that some places will have actually valid use cases for this kind of reporting. The article is very much not for those people, as they don't have these kinds of concerns for the most part. This is for people that are watching their organization talk about behaving one way, then acting in a totally different way.
const in C and C++ are an abomination. On a pointer they don’t tell the compiler to do shit, because they can’t.

That I can agree with TFA. However I agree with the GP that dismissing it entirely is a little misplaced. It serves as a hint/documentation and I think the article undersells the value of rodata (not the pointer use of const which is basically shit).

I mean I have seen at least a few SIGSEGV/aborts due to attempted writes to ro memory. Also like, one of the few modern justifications for C, embedded, const still has important link time meaning.
My god. HTML was a mistake.
A similar thing works for me. I don’t use my phone in the bed at night anymore and wait until I am tired before going to bed. After doing this for a few months I began to get tired around the same time every night (midnight for me). I wake up around 8:30am and I am rarely tired in the morning.

One thing I would like to improve on is staying asleep throughout the night which I think would allow me to wake up earlier. I have tried Benadryl which works well, melatonin works okay, but the thing that works the best for me is THC. However, I am trying to stop that because I have read that you do not get as good of sleep when you use THC before bed.

Another thing that helps is having it freezing cold in the bedroom.
Scored a giant Esqueleto from Costa Farms on sale recently. $50 including shipping and even came in a nice pot.

Thai Constellations are still hot where I'm at on the west coast. No nursery has them for less than $150 and they tend to be beaten up. Asked one nursery why theirs was so mangled and they said it was cause people kept trying to steal cuttings off it.

It does sound like a rough business though. Everyone who's a collector is in it for the best deal, for sure.

Even then, some other function can change the memory at the address of self while this one is executing, especially in concurrent systems. Additionally, any other pointer pointing to the same address can also modify self's memory. const in this case is really just "scout's honour".
I think eszed had a good point. I do appreciate the philosophy of taking in what you are doing in the situation rather than turning it into a code-fest. I have attempted that and failed. It just felt like forcing a situation that didn't work. Just take things as they come.

I also think that answers like this are one of many. Let people put in their 2 cents. I think it's great to have a variety of answers that approach the question differently.
OH wow. Thank You I didn't know that. So basically 10% for $1 transaction. If my calculation is correct the breaking point is $12. So anything under $12, assuming the country supports it.
I once worked at a place where management kept going on and on about reducing toil, but wouldn't let us use something to automate a bunch of extremely manual workloads.

It eventually occurred to me that we didn't have to, because the team was the mechanism for automating those workloads. They couldn't tell us they weren't that important, so the easiest option was to just talk about automation while paying us a bunch to keep troubleshooting the gross scripts.

Again - that is totally fine, as long as you know what's going on. Then you can make a clear decision around whether you want to stay.
> We haven't won a war against a peer enemy since WW2 and lost most of the wars against non-peers since then.

Sure, but effectively because the US is fighting on terms that nuclear weapons do not really help: The US has more than enough conventional firepower to turn most of the countries it has been at war in to sheets of glass, but the goal is very distinctly to not do that.

Losing wars fought in the streets where you're trying to not kill civilians isn't really a scenario where adding nukes helps.
While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on a range of decision-making tasks, they rely on simple acting processes and fall short of broad deployment as autonomous agents. We introduce LATS (Language Agent Tree Search), a general framework that synergizes the capabilities of LLMs in planning, acting, and reasoning. Drawing inspiration from Monte Carlo tree search in model-based reinforcement learning, LATS employs LLMs as agents, value functions, and optimizers, repurposing their latent strengths for enhanced decision-making. What is crucial in this method is the use of an environment for external feedback, which offers a more deliberate and adaptive problem-solving mechanism that moves beyond the limitations of existing techniques. Our experimental evaluation across diverse domains, such as programming, HotPotQA, and WebShop, illustrates the applicability of LATS for both reasoning and acting. In particular, LATS achieves 94.4% for programming on HumanEval with GPT-4 and an average score of 75.9 for web browsing on WebShop with GPT-3.5, demonstrating the effectiveness and generality of our method.

Very well PUT (pun intended). Actually, isn't this how we exactly got where we are with Postman?
I agree. A lot of languages have settled on those same names or something similar. We don’t live in a world with a single word size anymore so carrying bit length in the name is critical, and so is keeping identifier names short. His trade off is exactly the one I would make.

I cannot rightly comprehend the ignorance of history that would engender such an utterance.

I do not think that this statement is sufficiently genuine to require refutation. Reflection would be more appropriate: perhaps this should be sought in the replacement of the word “children” with any subjugated group, from “women” to “black people” to “Sicilians” to “Irish” to “<any First Nations people> to…

People deserve the support of their families and communities in their self-actualization, and while of course that looks different for children, if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t look at kids as people then I wouldn’t be surprised to find you’re the kind of parent that finds themselves cut out of the lives of their kids as soon as they’re able.
Uh, missed that. Thank you! What do you referring to by temperature?
There was an app or site I remember using that, every time you typed a sentence, it disappeared so that you only focused on the sentence in front of you. After you're done, you could export the entire document. I wonder if we could add some LLM features to that too.
I have ADHD, and I more strongly relate to the Atomic Habits model (based on Tiny Habits) of Cue -> Craving -> Response -> Reward.

I don't really like the word "motivation" because I feel as though nobody can really describe what it actually means, except that it's this mysterious power that results in you being able to do things you don't want to do. Atomic Habits describes on a more psychological level why we might be driven to perform a certain action, kind of on the basis that this mysterious "motivation" doesn't actually exist, and some people were just lucky in development to acquire good habits that yield more success.

To me, procrastination means that my mind pushed the undesirable task out of my head because it's desperate to think about or engage in something more immediately stimulating. Having mindfulness of this happening and using my inner monologue to think about what I want to do, and what I'm experiencing emotionally/physiologically, is a huge help to me in deciding what I actually want to do, rather than my executive function autopiloting straight past the important task.
We used https://github.com/janino-compiler/janino to compile the generated code at runtime It's stable and the compiler used by spark/flink.

Janino can generated the bytecode for fury generated java code.

I must agree that generating bytecode directly has it's advantages, the abstraction is more low-level, thus more flexible, except more complicated for developing.
Firstly, I absolutely agree, the argument you're responding to gave me pause for a moment, then I realized it's probably nonsense in most cases and it also isn't disagreeing with me at all.

If the thing I am working on doesn't matter because it's a rounding error to the organization, but they keep telling me that it does matter and we should be driving for perfection, bla bla bla, then the original poster is agreeing with me, I think. I'm not arguing about whether it makes sense for the organization, I'm making an argument against believing the organization.
Eh, I hard disagree with this memo. He's either dismissing or unaware of the biggest advantage of unsigned types, namely they make invalid state unrepresentible. And essentially all of his criticism of unsigned types is really criticism of the sloppy way old C and C++ compilers let you mix signed and unsigned numbers in math operations.

Modern C/C++ compilers can and will warn you (quite aggressively) if you mix signed and unsigned numbers without thinking about it.

A lot of the examples also seem weird. Eg, he gives a negative example of a function:

unsigned area(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return x * y; }

In this, he complains that you can still write buggy code:

area(height1-height2, length1-length2);

He's right - that is potentially buggy, But, that code would be buggy whether the area function took signed or unsigned numbers as input. However, the signed version of this function is still worse imo because it could hide the logic bug for longer. If the area function should always return a positive number, I'd much rather that invalid input results in an area number like 4294967250 than a small negative number.

Similarly, accidentally passing a negative index to a vec is much more dangerous with signed indexes because v[-2] will probably quietly work (but corrupt memory). However, v[4294967294] will segfault on the problematic line of code. That'll be much easier to find & debug.

And a lot of the examples he gives, you'd get nice clear compiler warnings in most modern compilers if you use unsigned integers. You won't get any warnings with signed integers. Your program will just misbehave. And thats much worse. I'd rather an easy to find bug than a hard to find bug any day of the week.
Perhaps it would've led to a de facto ban on expensive-to-produce insulin variants.

Giving Medicare prescription negotiating authority and requiring that that be the maximum retail price would be the answer.
Train is also subsidized. In fact, while air transport benefits from tax exemption, train receives substantial infrastructure subsidy. The following report puts rail subsidy to be around 75B EUR, whereas air within 27B to 35B. The study is from 2007, but I doubt it has changed much.

I think that in the long run, computers will eventually be made secure. It'll require a mind-shift away from ambient authority, but it will happen. Likely in 10-20 years. At that point, it'll be as safe to run any random piece of code as it is to plug in any random appliance into a wall outlet.

I also believe that computing will eventually outgrow the Von Neuman model of computation for many, if not most, tasks. The idea that 99.999% of the transistors in a computer are just sitting, waiting, will seem silly in retrospect.

I believe that we'll find new deeper laws of physics that allow us to generate energy at a far cheaper, and renewable manner that even fission/fusion are capable of today. I want my personal megawatt box that doesn't emit excess heat, nor use fuel.
lol "no const". This is really groundbreaking stuff. Let's take a memory-unsafe language and make it even less safe.
Any recommendation on open source alternative?
