Also you seem to be fixed on carnage inflicted to Palestine but not a word about the videos and images of beheadings and wanton murder of Israelis by the hamas terrorists. Why is that? Did not hamas unleash this round of violence by absolutely barbaric attacks?
> With anti-lock brakes, you're protected if you've never learned anything and you just try to put the brake pedal to the floor.

That sounds nice on paper, but in reality you need training in order to overcome the instinct to smash the pedal through the floor... and you need regular practice to avoid reverting to instinct. Needless to say very few people can _actually_ take advantage of manually controlling the brakes.
Podcasting is a distributed medium, that's something the individual distributor has to solve for the podcasts they do - it could be just a single one for example. They know what they produce and can budget storage thereafter. Bandwidth is the unpredictable part in that equation.
Do you have any more information on that, it may change my understanding of the pre-war narrative. I know that nat at large agreed they would, and the US refused to negotiate re Ukraine in the buildup, but had not read about Germany

> Passing the first tier of Keju, known as the provincial exam, was a lot easier – working out to be 4 per cent on average during the Ming. Still, this was more cut-throat than getting into Harvard in most years.

While Harvard’s admit rate might be above 4% in some years, there is more selection bias in the applicant pool, it would seem. The vast majority of people don’t bother to apply.
This was an interesting, if not somewhat exhausting, read. The premise of this article can be succinctly summarized by one of its references to a 19th century text:

“Since the introduction of the examination system … scholars have forsaken their studies, peasants their ploughs, artisans their crafts, and merchants their trades; all have turned their attention to but one thing – government office. This is because the official has all the combined advantages of the four without requiring their necessary toil …”

It refers to a very difficult exam that existed for a time in Chinese society that the author feels is analogous to systems re-emerging in Xi’s modern China. I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong. To be honest, I normally dislike comments like this that just paraphrase the article, but I read most of it and he repeats himself a lot. He could really use an editor to help him be more succinct.
Bonus context from a Techdirt article, "Fifth Circuit: The Government Doesn’t Need To Pay You For The Home It Destroyed To Effect An Arrest" [1]:

>> We conclude that, as a matter of history and precedent, the Takings Clause does not require compensation for damaged or destroyed property when it was objectively necessary for officers to damage or destroy that property in an active emergency to prevent imminent harm to persons. Baker has maintained that the officers’ actions were precisely that: necessary, in light of an active emergency, to prevent imminent harm to the hostage child, to the officers who responded on the scene, and to others in her residential community. Accordingly, and despite our sympathy for Ms. Baker, on whom misfortune fell at no fault of her own, we REVERSE.

...

> But the reasoning is flawed, starting with the cops’ own justification. By the time they surrounded the house, there was no possibility of “imminent harm to the hostage child.”

>> Soon after, Little released the girl and she exited the house.

...

> Whatever was said or unsaid, the cops chose their plan of action, and that plan involved destroying the house despite being given access and an open invitation to enter the house through a variety of entrances.

That's enough of an endorsement I might give Figma another go.

I've delayed some macOS updates primarily because I don't want to leave FW behind, but it's getting to be well past time. Actually looking into acquiring a windows version / license so that I can run it virtualized on occasion. Wish there were something actively maintained that hit that same sweet spot.
Make sure to check out Michael Mann's Thief too. It doesn't have bank robbing per se, but it has some very memorable safe-cracking scenes. Great movie all around.
I mean, yes and no, and aside from that - the article isn't even about regressions.

> embeds decisions and solutions that may not be evident to anyone just reading the code.

Strongly agree! Good code communicates this to other programmers (including yourself in 3-6 months). If the code doesn't do a good job of this, that alone can not only be worth a refactor, and when you refactor while "what it took to understand what this does" is fresh in your mind, you can write the new version that much more effective at communicating those learnings.
> This seems excessive given you can get a $10k used car for about $228/month (I think).

Does the $228/month number include maintenance + fuel or is it just financing/depreciation?
Not OP, but I can say that it is a mode, which is its problem. You enter into the scroll mode and while not difficult per se to exit it can cause confusion. It is also pretty superfluous in the age of the touchpad and the ubiquity of the scroll wheel. Just another example of Microsoft working really hard to make Windows 11 look simpler, but not working on making it meaningfully simpler.

I think you’re then arguing that refactoring doesn’t have a fixed cost per occurrence, but rather that the more code you write between refactorings, the cost of the refactoring increases (which I agree with).
There is no doubt in my mind that if they tried to spread their influence beyond the Chinese immigrant communities you would definitely see 2nd amendment “events” at these things.

Do you mean, news have a cost to society? We should tax the presence of news on Bing’s homepage, in your iPhone notifications, on television?

I agree, but those in power don’t. Maybe we should rather tax hyperboles and keywords like “Alert!” at the beginning of tweets. “Breaking news!”. It’s so stressing I auto-ban authors who use them.

Any usage of the red color on television. Usage of flashes and running messages. We should come up with a way to measure the equivalent of loudness (TV, radio and ads are all standardized in average authorized loudness) but for alertness.

We should smoothe out the level of alertness, across all digital screens.
When copying Unicode characters from sites like symbl.cc, it would be incredibly annoying to have to select them and press Ctrl+C instead of just pressing a single button.
It’s pretty common.
I have ocd and he's right. Don't pretend you're a spokesperson for people who suffer from my condition.

The condition in reality actually lives on a gradient and it very much influences everyone to varying degrees. It's only labeled ocd once it crosses a threshold. It no doubt exists in programming. Much of refactoring is done for the same mechanisms that cause ocd and zero practical reasoning.

I have ocd but I'm able to differentiate my compulsions from rational reasoning. Thus I can see how irrational my actions are.
If only there was a structured process for that. Maybe we could call it a "performance improvement plan," or PIP for short.
They have a table comparing what they are doing vs materialize in the FAQs in the docs (not super easy to find) - https://docs.epsio.io/faq/

On a quick read, seems like the core difference is around whether you query the streaming engine (Materialize) or still interact with your db. Other differences are then downstream from this.
There's no reference to or invocation of cults, just a playful use of the cartoonish idea of evil people. I'd find it distasteful if there were like, references to kool-aid or Manson or whatever, but there aren't. Is it your position no one should poke fun at the idea of "evil"? Honestly that just seems like no fun.
I don't think your "obvious" is the same as that of the person you're replying to.

In the US still, the path to success is a highly optimized one: start early, max out the extracurriculars, become an outlier among outliers. GitHub has become the new resume. No one cares that you worked at Petco at 17; they want to see your repos, your pull requests. Today's elite and top earners are not born, like under the aristocracy or nobility, but rather forged, of course assuming the potential is there, like IQ.
An invaluable life skill, as well.
I'm not sure why an ad that only tells its readership "it's too complex, just use our product" was posted here.

While I'm new to this field myself, the standard score[1] and interquartile range[2] algorithms can be utilized for this purpose, where the underlying calculations use a "streaming" algorithm eliminating the need for storage, such as [3].

I recently used some of this to monitor abnormally high request times for an application at my workplace.

Not true. Anyone experienced in programming discussions knows that "software development" overlaps exactly with the programming done by the commenter, and everything else is solving toy problems with tools that don't scale.
Why Linux runs 90 percent of the public cloud workload
This was years ago, in a Windows shop, everyone had a desktop PC. Not important that the guy didn't know what was inside his desktop, but it's the lack of understanding of the server hardware his code was to run on that was the problem. In all servers and desktop PCs ~10 years ago, RAM comes as DIMMs and would be easy to locate for anyone with a passing interest in computers. I'm not talking about Apple know-nothing fanbois here.

I think the more accurate analogy would be about the people who build and sell vacuums, not people who “plug them in” i.e. the end users.

The technology that underlies vacuums is a lot more mature and stable than those that in modern software development. So even if modern-day vacuum engineer doesn’t understand AC at the same depth as their predecessors, it’s less likely to be the Achilles heel that the author is referring to for modern devs having little understanding of computer technology.
Well, Hannity is a driveling liar with no critical thinking or humility or backbone. You can't compare the two with a straight face.

Hardware emulation for an N64 with HDMI out
This is an article on the Times of Israel on the subject:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-presents-evidence-misfired...

This article exposes a recorded telephone conversation (which could easily be faked) that this was "friendly fire." The lack of a crater at the impact site, and minimal damage to surrounding buildings, rules out the standard ordinance used by the IDF (although something custom could have been used in this case in an elaborate attempt to shift/inflict blame, but unlikely by reason of Occam's Razor).

This article on Al Jazeera reports the assessment of French intelligence that the IDF was not responsible:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/21/french-intel-says-...

The above article casts some doubt on the Israeli assertions (and French assessment) and reports on calls by the U.N. for a full investigation.

The well-known video of the explosion has a high-pitched whine which would not be heard in the standard munitions used by the IDF, which do not have propulsion as I understand.

https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2023/10/18/gaza-h...

This is either an accidental weapons malfunction, or a false-flag attempt, but the later seems unlikely as the Israeli government response seemed somewhat muted if it were planned by them.

Tangent: I appreciate that the only glancing mention of the ethical weirdness in harvesting skin from one animal to heal surface injuries on other animals is in the beautifully crafted teaser graphic.

(To be clear, this is nothing like skinning beavers — it's tilapia after all, one of the most heavily consumed fish on the planet, skin and all. But the thought tickled the brain for a moment)
Prices have only increased over the past 2 years and partly because their skyrocketed in the EU so market forces sent electricity to exportation and pushed domestic prices up.
They probably misunderstood scale to mean something like “in the ways,” not more literally “by the numbers.” I’ve seen people suggest that we’re more savage and brutal towards animals these days on other websites, and I think that’s an absurd conclusion to draw because I don’t think we have sufficient evidence for it. It seems unquestionable that we’re doing it to more animals, though. There are more people eating far more animals these days. I suppose some might argue they aren’t suffering or something? That’s crazy, to me.
I propose a simple split. When you are writing a daemon or background job whose goal is to never ever stop, then exceptions are indeed a minefield of complexity. When you are writing a collection of HTTP/RPC handlers, exceptions semantics are almost always correct: whatever goes wrong just needs to bubble up the stack and become a 5XX for the caller. Being able to “handle” without propagating needs to be possible but is rare enough that it should be opt in.
Seems to me it'd be a lot more high quality if you could simply have points about truth or things being opinions, or speculation, or rumors, or myth, stuff like that. Or simply noting there's disagreement or things about truth. Maybe you can but I ain't about to spend my whole year learning a bureaucratic jargon just to "sneak in" what should be effortless to put there. Get my frustration?

Of course, and I entirely agree. But that's not what the commenter I was responding to was complaining about -- they were complaining about large, big-picture inaccuracies occurring in most news articles.

And that just doesn't seem to be correct, by and large. But you're absolutely right that choosing what to cover and what to emphasize is a conscious choice, and that there is no such thing as neutrality there.

I had this crazy idea to write an MMO server using Seastar with ScyllaDB and try to fit a huge isometric RPG shard in one server. It seems that modern servers could handle that load and have some interesting possibilities with a unified server. Kind of makes you wonder what the possibilities with text MUds would be if you dedicate more server time to player experience and game systems. Things people would have liked to do back in the day with open worlds might be more possible now.

It’s been many years since I used Windows on a daily basis but that middle click scrolling feature was one of my favorite things about it.

Hands-free scrolling after it is setup.

Things every developer should know about English, part 1: why word order matters in negation /s

Obviously you meant "not every developer needs to know" instead of "every developer doesn't need to know", but I see this switch so often lately that I'm beginning to wonder if it's a dialect thing (similar to double negative implying a positive to some and an emphasis of the negative to others)

Strange Ways AI Disrupts Business Models
I think there are two key moves: one is removing the subsidies for private car usage so the true costs are more visible and people can make better choices (c.f. The High Cost of Free Parking), and another would be removing low-density requirements – most expensive cities could increase density rapidly if, say, every homeowner had the ability by-right to add an ADU or convert a single house into a multi-family without decades of recreational lawsuits from the neighborhood NIMBYs. Anywhere built before 1950 probably has a bunch of neighborhoods with little business zones which are marginally profitable because there isn’t quite enough local business but would do well if the density went up by 20-30%, and the profits would probably encourage a virtuous cycle of other neighbors upgrading.
Enhanced Google Play Protect real-time scanning for app installs
Thanks for writing this. I note you mention that GPUs are massively parallel, and I think it would strengthen the article to add a paragraph or two discussing what kinds of loads lend themselves to GPU computing. The sort of "embarrassingly parallel" things like linear algebra vs inherently serial example of numerical analysis.
You seem to be conflating two mutually exclusive paths to success. Nobody in the world of banking, or politics, or manufacturing, give a shit about repos and pull requests. And nobody in the tech world gives a shit about your extracurriculars. And "become and outlier among outliers" doesn't give anyone any actual idea how to become successful and could be applied to literally any field or organization in any society at any point in history.
> I remember going through an MIT OS project, it took me something like 50 hours of hours to complete the project. Pretty much impossible when you have a full time job (I didn't at the time). And despite that, I still consider myself a newbie in OS development.

I took an OS course loosely based on MIT one, and of course wouldn't consider myself an experienced OS developer as well, but I think the residual knowledge is sometimes really helpful when debugging bad application performance at work.

True, but "eventually" can vary wildly.

On cars.com right now it looks like the electric price floor is roughly $5k, which gets you a 10 year old Nissan Leaf, though it looks like they mostly have lower mileage than comparable-age ICE cars.

Used car prices have ballooned in recent years, so I’m not sure how much lower you can go without buying a complete heap. As a comparison I looked at the cheapest Nissan Sentras and Versas on the market, which are about $4k, a bit older, and have 200k miles.
Not enough. We both cut down trees and burned underground carbon stores.

Merely replanting trees goes part of the way but it can’t address the whole issue.

The calculations you showed seem to be about blunting annual emissions. But we still have all the excess we previously emitted which has warmed the atmosphere. We need to deal with that eventually.

Library code, especially stdlib, is usually the bottom of the abstraction chain and rarely performs fallible operations like IO. It’s the one originating the errors.
