I know of at least two `mg` users (a barebones C impl of emacs) that use it for almost everything (including c++ and python). That's `emacs -Q` to the extreme.
While I see a number of comments mentioning disdain for the move by Cypress, I'd like to know the core issue claimed by them due to which they state they're "defending their intellectual property".

After all, just intercepting certain API calls to report to a different service instead of the one chosen by the developers is ultimately legal; in most jurisdictions there are laws that allow for compatible implementations to be developed as long as it is done using clean-room techniques.

If that's not considered legal, it's probably even problematic to run AWS CLI to a self-hosted Minio instance or one of the S3 compatible service; using the Sentry SDK to report errors to Glitchtip (a similar API-compatible service), and so on and so forth.
Each of those 10 could potentially cover 100B each though?
I don't understand what you're trying to say. Yes, in absolutely perfect light, if it has the focal length you need, it's going to be good. But that's a very particular situation, we both know that as soon as the ISO comes up it's not even close, and soon enough shooting in log then becomes a gimmick.
The important difference is that it is stored on the local device, not the remote server.

Since the things stored on the remote server have been called “passwords” for decades, it seems helpful to call the local thing a “PIN” to help more easily distinguish it.

IMO it’s not more silly than calling a hand-held computer a “phone.”

> If the source field in a packet reliably indicated the source of the packet and a given IP was sending you a lot of unwanted traffic, you'd ask their ISP to turn them off and the problem would be solved

No. Your email will go straight into trash because ISP is not interested in doing something for people who don't pay them money. Also, even if they cooperate, it will take too much time.

> Null routing is available

Null routing means complying with criminals' demand (they want the site to become inaccessible).

> it's unlikely to happen

It will very likely happen if there will be a serious attack on Western infrastructure: for example, if there will be no electricity in a large city for several days, of if hospitals across the country won't work or something like this. Then the measures will be taken. Of course, while the victims are small non-critical businesses, nobody will care.

> Otherwise, the only solution is to have more input bandwidth than the attack and suck it up. Content networks are in a great position here, because they deliver a lot of traffic over symetric connections, they have a lot of spare inbound capacity.

So until my proposal is implemented the only solution is to pay protection money to unnecessary middlemen like Cloudflare.

On my PC workstation (Debian Testing) I have absolutely no problems running NVIDIA PNY Quadro P2200, which I'm going to upgrade with PNY Quadro RTX 4000 soon. I'd love to make a switch for AMD Radeon, but the very short (and shrinking) list of ROCm supported cards makes this move highly improbable for the not-so-nearest future.

To add, a few generations ago hand held video shot on iPhones was not (or hardly effectively) stabilized. But now iPhone have good stabilization. I think the tradeoff (the too-smooth motion thing) is worth it.
That's probably true if you only look at the cars themselves, but don't forget that getting petrol in cars requires a huge petrochemical industry, from oil wells to refineries, pipelines and pumping stations. Each of those steps also emits all kinds of crap. The same is true for electricity from many sources, but overall I suspect EVs come out somewhat better than petrol cars.

Of course, cars are generally too big, too heavy, and too fast. Addressing those issues would benefit everyone, regardless of fuel source.
We outlawed it immediately via Rubocop but I use it all the time in IRB.

We also don't allow single letter variable names. I'm an old school rubyist and find this to be an annoying constraint that can't be auto-corrected so it adds a little friction to writing code but arguing for more terse code is always a losing proposition so I just deal with it.

The whole city already has a congestion tax with cameras reading number plates, and of course a variable congestion fee with much higher fees at rush hours.

The simplest way forward I think would be to just double the fees for ICE cars, and cutting them for EV's. It would be a software only solution, so cheap-ish. It would only be possible to do for the whole inner city though. Can't do it for half the city.

> Does it mean they apply some kind of human perception model (like audio codecs apply a psychoacustic one) to determine what detail can be omitted without future viewers potentially noticing the difference?

I have not looked into it too deeply but it appears to be based on wavelet compression (more or less a copy of JPEG2000). They are able to achieve much better compression ratios. I am restricted to lossless compression (and in real time on a mobile device).

> why? I mean it's just a big blob, if there's a lot of similar substrings in it, it might give a few percent compression ... also, nonsense doesn't mean non-patentable, right?

What I mean is that it is unlikely that any form of compression of RAW video data is encompassed by their patent. But who knows.
I'm not a Elon fan but the autopilot in a plane does basically the same (if we are saying that planes and cars do the same thing, which is transport people) that Tesla's or many more manufacturers "autopilot" does on highways. Not an aviation expert but I don't think AP is controlling take-offs and landings. It controls cruise speed, altitude and direction. A car AP on a highway does the same (minus altitude).

Mike Edling? It's the kind of article I'd expect to have a joke name, but other than "Mike" possibly referring to Tyson I can't think of anything.

Electric cars are good for both aggressive driving (lots acceleration and brake use), and also for energy-efficient driving (almost no use of brakes, slow down by converting speed back to electricity). I wonder which one dominates in city driving in practice?

Seconding the first recommendation. WebGPU is currently the sweet spot between classic and modern approaches.

Also, don't be fooled by the name. While WebGPU was designed for the web browser, there are already some solid native implementations (wgpu and Dawn), and can definitely fill in the same role as Vulkan/DX12/Metal for most casual usages.

> Emacs famously has its idiosyncratic brace style and indentation style using a mix of tabs and spaces that no-one else uses.

Specifically, 'one indent is four spaces, two indents is one tab, repeat', which caused utter carnage for newbies editing YAML files since literal tabs aren't valid YAML.

Back in the day, I built consensus to switch the perl https://p3rl.org/Catalyst framework over to defaulting to an apache style config in the scaffold generator specifically because about 75% of our "confused newbie" questions on IRC at the time were people whose emacs config had broken their YAML config file.

Of course we're -ahem- a few years on from that now, and people generally have already had at least one pitched battle with YAML before installing/adopting another thing that uses it, but still, oh gods but that was frustrating for a while.

I don't think the thank you notes are a sign of the market shift. I started seeing them from people coming fresh out of code camps, and assumed it was just some jobs-hunting coaching recommendation.

Since then I've seen a few more, but not many. I don't think I've ever waited long enough after an interview to meet with others on making a pass / offer decision for a thank you note to make a difference. Even when we had a group for a single position and there was time to pick between candidates, we at least had already passed on our feedback by the time one could be sent. At that point, I don't know that a thank you note would make a big enough difference for me to reach out and change my feedback that would put them above someone else in consideration.

To some degree, Valve can. It's a bit weird, but Valve basically is running its own distro on top of whatever Linux distro you're using. It's called the Steam Runtime and is quite literally just a bundle of things like specific versions of glibc. It exists as an attempt to prevent the usual versioning mess that comes with any form of binary distribution on Linux.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Steam Runtime is considered a bit of a mess on the technical end; Valve used to only test it with Ubuntu LTS, which caused plenty of issues for those on other distros or on newer versions of even Ubuntu.

IIRC Arch literally comes with a package whose sole job is to substitute certain steam runtime libraries that are known to cause conflict problems when used, otherwise you get fun X Window errors (or whatever equivalent you have for those on Wayland).

Vulkan was designed to tackle several issues OpenGL had. For example, OpenGL does not do multithreading, while Vulkan is able to, and OpenGL has a single global state, while with Vulkan you're able to create multiple different command buffers to hold the state in. In general Vulkan is also a lot faster at rendering, as it's closer to modern GPUs in design.

While Vulkan has been slowly replacing OpenGL, it's also more complex than OpenGL is. This means that OpenGL is still great for many simple use-cases, as you won't be overwhelmed by the complexity that Vulkan can bring along with it.
I took a philosophy course on utopian literature. My biggest takeaway is that every utopia has some marginalized group for which the society is less than a utopia (more like a dystopia). In Thomas More’s Utopia, this was a literal caste of gold-chained slaves.

In the latter half of the course we studied dystopias and it became pretty clear these are two sides of the same coin. The issue with utopias is that they don’t admit a plurality of lifestyles: they force everyone to conform. That, in itself, is dystopian to a lot of people.

Real life is messy and people are different. A “proper” utopia for all is always going to be messy and imperfect; a work in progress.

My APC UPS is connected to my computer with a USB-A to rj45 cable. It is the most cursed cable I own, narrowly beating out the type-A to type-A usb2 cable I needed to buy to get a HTC vive to work. (I later "upgraded" to a type-c cable with A-to-C adapters on either end.)

IIRC, the Ethernet standard means ports should tolerate 5V, but I'm still spooked someone's going to use the cable thinking it's something else.

There is absolutely no way that brake wear is higher for EVs. I can practically drive my entire morning commute without braking a single time in my Bolt. Any study that says otherwise is seriously flawed or ignoring one pedal driving.

> Why in the world would I ever not want the software I install to read files in the Desktop and Documents folders? It doesn’t make sense!

Every now and then I'm reminded that different people have vastly different expectations. Of course I DON'T want software I install to read arbitrary files. Not just files in Desktop and Documents directories. Ideally each application would be completely isolated from the rest of the system, being able to only read and write in its little dedicated sandbox. Access to anything outside should require explicit confirmation (sort of like Little Snitch's dialog for network access). Delete the application and it completely disappears, leaving no trash behind anywhere on the file system. Sort of like iOS meets Qubes.
Yeah, my argument is mainly about pollution in inner cities/densely populated areas (where just switching to EV certainly does not go far enough)

To the writer's point, many of the questions listed are "basic skills". Maybe you know them off hand? Maybe you don't? The question is: can the candidate learn them? Is she/he willing? What is their amplitude and abilities, not some check list of "facts" you'd hear on Engineering Jeopardy?

But better, for the candidate such questions trigger their own questions:

- Do they expect me to know everything?

- Is this a conversation or an interrogation?

- Why are does it feel like they're focused more on what I don't know, and less on what I have done?

- That's a very basic question, did any of the interview team look at my code samples? Or blog posts?

- Oh, I guess education and professional growth isn't a thing here?

- And so on...

I've had interview "conversations" often enough to realize there are a lot of bad hiring [1] and bad interviewing practices. It amazes me (in a sad and disappointing sort of way) how many outfits don't realize the process is a message; that their questions are also signals to the candidates. In short, both parties are conducting an interview.

[1] During the application process do not ask for references. Asking someone you haven't met yet to hand over the contact details of trusted colleague and friends is bad form. As in, I'm not going to finish this one bad form.
Having lived in some places around Europe, my quality of life is always increased by owning a motor vehicle. I do not use it daily, I do not commute with it, but there are trips which are far more practical with a personal motor vehicle than otherwise, like fetching people from an airport, taking a pet to a vet, driving further out for a hike, hauling groceries.
Something like that. The test demonstrates that we can treat it as if it is a person without much risk. Says nothing about what it 'really' is.

Currying is fun and I miss it sometimes as well, but as near as I can tell, it is essentially immiscible with traditional languages. I've seen so, so many attempts, and they are so, so bad.

Surprisingly few attempts even seem to get over the bar of understanding what currying is, and why it isn't just partial application. Now, I am not too concerned with which is "better" or anything, nor do I much care for pedantry for the sake of pedantry, but in this case it's a matter of type signatures; curry(some_function) and partial_apply(some_function, param1, param2) are fundamentally different type signatures and for that reason, not because of abstract verbal purity or something, aren't the same thing.

I mean, right out of the gate you have the problem that in most conventional languages you're looking at your first example being map(reverse)(["hello", "goodbye"]).

Whether Ruby syntax could be bent into making it work without parens (or Perl perhaps) I don't know but with all the other things going on in those syntaxes I'm sure it would be quirky as can be, possibly quirky beyond practical usefulness. And in dynamic scripting languages you'd be looking at a lot of actual function calls, so performance is going to be trashed if you use this pervasively.
The first version of the model said that infill was coming. I was hoping to see that in this version, but I guess we have to wait for v2.
OpenGL is recommended to get started and learn the base concept then if you survive that you can try Vulkan.

Will Vulkan replace everything? Seems unlikely considering Microsoft is not dropping DirectX anytime soon, and apple pretty much despise The khronos group, while the web seems to want to go the WebGPU route now.

And openGL seems to simply not die.

Yeah, the obvious solution is to make smaller lighter vehicles. We’ve built EVs in the image of ICE vehicles, so they’re big and heavy.

There are a lot of people who are driving an EV with several hundred miles of range to work less than 20 miles away. That extra order of magnitude of battery capacity is a lot of extra weight. Imagine I’d you could instead rent a battery trailer for those occasional long trips?

I think e-bikes are the way to go, tho perhaps we can define a new and smaller class of vehicles with cabins and/or inherent stability for those unable to ride.
We Reduced Testing Time by 70% – By Moving from Cypress to Playwright
This is a common misinformation campaign against EVs. First of all, EVs use far less brake material than gas cars. E.g. Most Teslas run the same pads for 100k+ miles due to strong regenerative braking, for me it was triple the longevity of brake pads on my Audi.

As for the tire emissions, you are likely quoting the worst case scenario that was devised by emissionsanalytics. The reality is, that was a worst case scenario, if you actually saw tire wear that was significantly more polluting than traditional cars you would have tires that go bald in a very short period of time.

For example, the Micheline Pilot Sport all seasons that come on the Tesla Model 3 are rated for 45k miles, but typically get around 35-40k miles depending on driving habits. That is only 13-26% more tread loss depending on driving style. So how is it possible the tires are losing significantly more tread (and as a consequence, polluting more) but also lasting a long time?
Should we be worried about AI's growing energy use?
