Tell me how you would do this without a technique. Your mind wanders and a random thought appears, what do you do? Whatever you are going to say next is by definition a technique. The fact that there a multiple answers to this questions means that the problem is open to a variety of techniques that have a range of effectiveness. This implies teaching and guidance.
A couple of reasons of the top of my head:

- msvcrt linked statically

- even when disabling debug and panic unwind, Rust includes the unwind tables in the binary

- unicows import library linked

Framework laptops?

I'll likely get a framework as my next laptop. I'll accept the lack of a trackpoint, but at least i'll get a laptop i can trust for some years to come.
Those are some poor arguments, imho, because there literally is no other option than CUDA. The alternatives are so bad, it's far better to be vendor-locked and being able to get stuff done, than not being able to get stuff done at all.

As I said, I avoided it for years because of the reasons you mentioned. Turns out I could not avoid it any longer because it's the only (meaningful) option that could do what I needed, has serious support, and great UX. And NVIDIA is hardly to blame because they simply made sure to build a good product. It can't stop AMD, Intel or Khronos from creating a competitive alternative, but so far they haven't.

And regarding support, so far NVIDIA has shown excellent continuous support for CUDA, whereas OpenCL and OpenGL are the ones that went down. And I've chosen CUDA over rocm precisely due to support reasons, because AMD has always treated it as some kind of side gig with uncertain future.
FYI, ZIP code is not enough to calculate tax rate. You need city and county. 9,000 ZIP codes cross county borders.

Currently, consumers can generally tell if they are getting a reasonable price by comparing the MSRP they see in an ad against the price they see in store. For example, if the nationally advertised price of an Xbox is $500 and Best Buy has it for $500, I know I'm not being swindled.

But if the in-store price is $550? I guess I have to haul out my calculator and ask for the store's tax rate so I can determine whether or not Best Buy is ripping me off and I should take my business elsewhere.

Ideally, they'd show pre-tax price, tax rate, and calculated total price on every tag. Maybe, one day, we'll see action on this in a state or two, but I don't suspect it is high on the lists of any lawmakers.
I know it's not trivial but do organisation working with vacuum chambers ever set it up so that the atmosphere inside a pressure vessel is kept full of dehydrated oxygen/nitrogen air at positive pressure during maintenance activities?

I know they make sure that all the workers suit up to prevent oil from skin ruining any chance at a high vacuum.
Math nerd, crypto criminal. Not mutually exclusive.

Is "math nerd who does not drink or party" a defense to lying for financial gain; do these these charactersitics make a person less likely to lie for financial gain.

One thing is brand onboarding: film students don't rent the big guns for everything and if they can do a quick "shot on phone" but with a blackmagic workflow, it will be hugely attractive for them. Think of it as cosplay if you like, but it can have powerful long term effect for the brand if new generations start out on their tools. Or in terms of computers, ca year 2000, think about it as leaning C++ instead of getting good at Excel VBA.

The other thing is consistency: if you do use the big ones, but have a shot where the big camera simply cannot be used, allowing an iPhone to stand in with processing defaults defaults set up to make the footage as consistent with the regular takes as possible can be worth a lot. Sony has created the RX0 line essentially for that, as a support gadget for their film cameras. Sales to consumers are merely opportunistic side income.

Same (super convenient to easily get consistent setting) for takes that are what in software development would be considered a bugfix, takes that happen when primary filming is over. All the rental equipment has been returned, the order of the day is getting least bad results with what you have. If blackmagic has tools for this contingency and competitors don't, blackmagic will be more attractive.
I have never ever ever got anything useful out of a chat bot.
I made another post yesterday on the argument that "that the suspicious deaths all lined up perfectly with Lucy Letby's shifts":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37814339

Those arguments, as presented to the jury, relied entirely on a spreadsheet of the nurses' duty roster. There's an image here (on the Daily Mail website):

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/08/18/22/74487747-12286051...

Looking at this spreadsheet the one thing that immediately jumps out to me is that this spreadsheet is not the entire data.

The spreadsheet shows only the days where Lucy Letby was on shift and there was a suspicious incident (i.e. when a baby died or collapsed).

It is very difficult to believe that there were no shifts were incidents occurred and Lucy Letby was not on shift, or times Lucy Letby was on shift but no incident occurred.

Obviously, without that data that is not included in the spreadsheet it is impossible to draw any conclusions about Lucy Letby's correlation with the incidents she was convicted of causing. That's pretty much what the RSS letter points out, that:

it is far from straightforward to draw conclusions from suspicious clusters of deaths in a hospital setting – it is a statistical challenge to distinguish event clusters that arise from criminal acts from those that arise coincidentally from other factors, even if the data in question was collected with rigour.

And the data in that spreadsheet was certainly not presented with any rigour. Rather, this spreadsheet is a textbook example of cherry-picking. It only shows the data that justifies the prosecutor's claim.

I have no way to know whether this was done consciously, in order to mislead, or it was merely the result of poor understand of statistics by police officers and prosecutors. I'm inclined to believe the latter was the case.

In any case, _if_ the jurors were convinced by that spreadsheet of Lucy Letby's guilt, to whatever extent (weighing it in view of other evidence), then they did so without having enough information.
Remember, this is iOS. A system where apps can't even record continuous framerate footage.
Child F, who survived without kidney problems, was in the hospital because he was born prematurely, along with a twin who suddenly died from a different cause the previous night, with nurse Letby seen standing over him earlier in the evening as he screamed and spat out blood.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the medical professionals who determined the evidence was conclusive had sufficient expertise not be relying on Google searches to interpret blood peptide readings..
Once you have molds, make sure you control them.

Here's a story [1] of a company that found that the Taiwanese plastic company that made its custom parts stopped responding after 15 years. They got another one of their Taiwanese suppliers to go to the plastic company to see what was going on--and found that the factory was now a hotel and the sales office was a now a strip mall.

We always recommend radio modules for anything but the highest volume new products. It's easy to cost-reduce one out (worst case, you just build the module yourself), it just takes a bit of cash flow to pay for it. And if your product isn't earning any money, then you have bigger problems than radio cost....
You often see the same thing in the UK (a 12.5% "discretionary service charge" listed in small text that you must ask to have removed from your bill).
I wish people would understand that "just get up early" simply does not and cannot work for a significant portion of the population (20-50% depending on which study you choose).

Therefore it is aggravating advice to constantly receive, from those for whom it worked, to those for whom it won't.
I remember I was at a party few years back, some guy did way more acid than what he could handle and had a breakdown. I remember there was another guy there who was “tripsitting” but just something about him seemed kind of off, like he was trying to control the whole situation

So here was this one guy having a mental breakdown, really suffering, and there’s this other guy who keeps aggressively “checking in” on him every other minute, nobody stepped in to stop him because he was “tripsitting”.

(I know normally tripsitters can do this, but the way the guy was doing it was just awful, like he was invading the guy’s space and pestering the shit out of him, it freaked him out even more)

You’re definitely fortunate to have had a good friend nearby, some people are too fucking crazy to ever get high around

> For several years, people downloading Ardour for macOS have had to deal with various kinds of messages (from Apple) saying things like "This program comes from an untrusted source" to "The file is damaged". As of Ardour 8, macOS users downloading Ardour won't see this stuff any more, because we have given up and paid $100 to join Apple's pay-to-play scheme. Our builds are all notarized now, and so people on macOS should have the same smooth experience they get from other macOS software downloads.

Hope macOS users live up to the commonly referenced "Apple users are more likely to pay for software" and donate either time or money to Ardour if they use it, as it seems making applications available to them cost developers actual money now.
> - Engagement surveys captured staff feeling fatigued and under resources at entire org level

This smells like an organizational failure. First, the survey doesn't tell if the tech staff suffered fatigue, because it was organization-wide. Second, the Executive Leadership Team has 5 people. Just the executive leadership. The Council itself has 9 members. I shudder to think how many (indirect) managers the 4 tech staff has to report to. Third, if there is a problem in your organization, you won't find it with a bloody survey. Those just exist to satisfy KPIs. Fourth, if there is a problem in a small team, that is fairly easy to locate. but if their manager doesn't know, or can't change it, something is wrong in the organization. Fifth, if there is a problem in a critical team, the organization as a whole has failed.

This won't be solved by outsourcing. If anything, placing critical employees at a distance creates more problems than it solves.
I don't know for the US, but in Europe they got expensive over the year because they had to comply with import taxes, warranty and now are shipping a lot of products directly from europe.
Who remember the good old days where anything from aliexpress would pass the customs without taxes, even on expensive products (phone/hightech) ?

I always wondered if they had not an arrangment with the shipper/customs. Because at the time, anything from say a store like hobbyking, even small package worth a few dozens €, was always flagged at the customs.

Smart companies operating in CN seeking to minimise IP theft tend to "Own" the mold, and carefully manage its use and production - to ensure that there are e.g. no 3rd shift production "overruns". Producing the mold separately from the factory which uses it is not unknown, as is having a western employee tallying what comes off the production line. Molds at the end of their useful life (either because the item is no longer in production, or the mold is worn out) should be physically destroyed, and that destruction verified (angle grinder cutting it up is not uncommon - with a western staffperson overseeing that destruction.).

Ukele seems to be about character output, and doesn't interfere with the actual physical key behaviors or modifiers (that's what I get from the site and the interface when running it).

For instance I need the Left and Right Command keys to each switch on/off the IME when single pressed, and act as Command when combined with other keys. Same way the Fn key doesn't seem to be mappable.

Seems to work at the same level as the Powertoys remapper on windows, minus the shortcuts.
You can actually see focus changes quite often in movies and TV shows - but they're usually done intentionally to accentuate something, e.g. a focus pull from a foreground object to an actor in the background.

But it's a slow and smooth motion without any focus breathing intended to highlight an object or an actor, not just autofocus hunting to find something
But what improvement does Debian really need, beyond the capabilities it already has?

Linux in general could use various improvements, if some billionaire decided to fund people to work on it. But I don't really see how any distro could use the lion's share of that funding. Instead, much of it probably needs to go to infrastructure things like drivers, Wayland, etc., so that Linux works better on people's computers. Other things that could use development funding are various applications. But these are things that all distros share.

FWIW, I’m fond of a testing technique where the entire “exchange” of a request/response for a HTTP handler test case is committed to the repo.

If the result doesn’t match what’s in the file, the test fails. You can run the tests with a special flag to update them in place.

It gives great regression coverage on that edge of the system and it can easily be done with a good language HTTP library.

If you're finding yourself reaching for pen and paper to write actual code, then your tooling sucks.

Or maybe it's horses for courses?

Personally I found the idea of going beyond prototyping on paper as a rule not for me, though there are sometimes final snippets reveal themselves better away from the screen when I'm stuck in the mud on something.

My point is though that we really ought to allow others to find their own way and what is best for them rather than dismissing it so emphatically because we don't personally get it.
FFI+cffi has the advantage that you leave Python specifics out of your Rust binding, so it's effectively a proper C binding that can be used for other FFI integrations as well.

That first one (the current record holder?) still looks surprisingly traditional, with a recognisable mast and all. A couple of decades ago I read about a record targeting "sailing boat" that really stretched the definition of both sailing and boat; it looked more like a glider plan on a central stilt that would flip over on every tack and was only able to sail upwind. (Perhaps counter-intuitively, these speeds are only possibly upwind; you can't go downwind faster than the speed of the wind.)

So I'm a bit surprised to see the current record holder still looking recognisably like a sailing boat. That trimaran contender still looks pretty normal, although if it uses a kite, that's definitely interesting.

But that Syroco! That's really pushing the definition of sailing and boat beyond recognition. It looks closer to kite surfing. Or a glider with a kite instead of wings that only seems to be touching the water because otherwise it wouldn't count as a sailing boat anymore but as a plane. Though I suspect that board/hydrofoil is still necessary to control the course.
From the what's new page:

"Some people will no doubt laugh at a few of these "new features", given that they've been in some other DAWs for 20 years or more. That's OK — we laugh too when we see other DAWs finally adding things that Ardour could do in 2005."

this made me laugh :-)
Cue Lenovo buying Framework within 2 years.
>you still need to spend another 6 months building out all the invisible things that make it actually releasable.

That's why it's always advisable to have an actual release of the features at demo day, or in the case of exceptions, the next demo day. And if you don't have internal or external customers, at least released to a QA team that's user testing or building prototypes with it (if it's dev oriented).

There should always be something early on demonstrating evidence that it's ok in production.
Most car companies do indeed produce their own engines. It's why many of them are named "XYZ Motor Company".

Of course, they don't produce their own microchips for all the electronic stuff in cars these days, and I suppose you could say those are more complex, but back in the 60s when the Saturn V was made, the engines were probably the most complex things in cars.
Well, personally I have a bigger aversion to companies who hire dogmatic developers that discard an entire technology as junk, without even considering the scenarios in which you might prefer a horizontal separation of teams.

Interesting take, but good luck with this fight against all caps (snake case) constants, at this point it's almost a consensus, a shared culture element, a deeply ingrained habit that the vast majority of developers have and recognize.

Changing this would be a huge undertake I'd be afraid of engaging, if I cared that much.

Just want to mention sticky keys[1], as it seems often overlooked.

Instead of holding the modifier key(s) when activating a shortcut, you can press and release each modifier sequentially.

Right, so the question comes from combining the two things you said.

You get a green while you’re still a ways back, and proceed forward. A speeder crosses that same trigger point before you’ve gotten through the intersection. They’re trying to catch up with you so they get through the light right behind you. Do they get a free green or do they make your light turn red while you’re far enough back to have to stop?

Have you used it, by the way? My question was about the specific timing and placement of the trigger.
const makes sense and rarely causes problems when used in function parameter lists.

However, when used for members in datastructures, it's more often than not problematic.
I wrote a few test cases in both JS and C doing some computations inside a loop. The code between the versions was equivalent and not micro-optimized. In JS was using normal variables so they were stored in memory as IEEE754 (unless the engine was doing some optimisations I was not aware of). So no manual binary math with buffers in JS

I was specifically looking how big of an impact it is to use normal JS numbers for integer-heavy math. It turns out it is quite big, but for float64 math, not so much.
In your example my comment is intended to read "I vote because it has local impact, but don't forget that it's not enough to only vote. The underlying system is flawed and big strides can't happen without fundamental realignment of incentives."

I'm all in favour of paying someone to work! And every minute spent on-call should be compensated.

What I don't like is "if my service is flaky then I get more money", because I don't want my service to be flaky but I like getting money.

If you're paying me to be available, but giving them time in lieu for any time worked, then you're not getting more of my time for free. Conversely, if you pay me only when I'm called out (which I recognise isn't something you've suggested) then I get the hassle of being on call but I'm only paid if my service breaks.
> typedef float f32;

> typedef double f64;

Assuming float is 32 bits and double is 64 bits sounds like a foot-gun. OpenCV defines a float16_t [0], CUDA implements half-precision floats [1], micro-controllers implement whatever they want.

C++23 introduces fixed width floating-point types [2], but not aware of any way to enforce this in C. What I would suggest it to have a macro to check data is not lost at compile time.

Generally I agree with others, it might be better to leave some of these things as default for readability, even if it is not concise.
