You really underestimate how widespread use of Latin script is, especially in computers. People cope just fine with domain names (IDN is generally still rare), foreign brands, names of famous people etc. Sure your central chinese rice farmer living in a remote village might only be exposed to chinese script but once to get to someone familiar with a computer they likely will be able to cope with ASCII text just fine even if they don't understand the meaning.
That doesn't mean it's not legal. It can be undemocratic but still legal.
I had a professor with a foreign name from someplace that didn't use the Roman alphabet. His credit report had like 30-some-odd spellings of his name.

When asked "So what is the correct spelling?" he snarkily shot back "You tell me."

It's not a standard western name. It wasn't originally written I'm English. Attempts to translate it to English -- well, they are guesses on how to spell what someone thinks they are hearing from a language that the Roman alphabet isn't designed to capture.
Well that's a plus!

How does this translate to health benefits and downsides? Is there a lower incidence of prostate cancer in fathers compared to childless men?

I'm asking since there's an extreme difference in prostate cancer prevalence tied to race (in the US at least) and some attribute this to testosterone level differences.
The differences are however smaller than in your study.

Pour out gazillions of money into American public transit and it won’t get you far.

The reason why China and other Asian nations have amazing public transit isn’t financial or technical. It’s cultural and social. And by that, I don’t mean anything to do with cars - I’m referring to just a public willingness (or enforcement) to enshre nice public things stay nice, which is often lacking in the US.
I would say: because nobody cares, "memory is cheap".

Same reason why software gets slower every time hardware gets faster, why everything expects a fast internet connection, or why it's impossible to buy a movie without DRMs (say if you want to have the file and add subtitles for your language):

Users don't care, they keep using/buying the non-optimized stuff. And devs are more productive (and companies make more money) by not optimizing anything.
I generally agree with your comment, especially coming from OpenBSD where /proc does not exist, for reasons you mentioned, as well as a purely practical one: let's not pressure the VFS for no reason.

I think the biggest issue with /proc at the moment is that it leaks in core Linux components, and getting rid of it is becoming impossible. Some years ago I worked on adding `$ORIGIN` rpath support in OpenBSD and looked at how Linux did it. Mind you, the dynamic linker (ldlinux.so) grabs the running executable path from /proc...

One thing though, you focus a lot on syscalls, but I think the challenge in recent years has been to find new ways to have kernel <-> userspace interactions _outside_ of syscall, which are cumbersome to use, rigid in structure, and practically speaking, there are only so many entries you can store in an IDT.

The work on netlink is going in the right direction IMHO. It allows userland to communicate bidirectionally with the kernel, register on specific events, etc; while using a familiar tooling with bsd sockets that is convenient from both shell and programming languages.
Yes my bad, I confused them with LogRocket.

Then why do people use ChatGPT? If all answers are on Google, why do people prefer interacting with chatbots?

Interacting with AI agents makes it feel like you are interacting with an entity that can think and reason, that has some form of agency, and that interacts like we expect a person to interact. Google feels like using a dictionary in comparison.

So basically it is the difference between reading the bible and talking to God directly.

Yup. Some parts of the API are a huge annoyance like that.

I rather had forenames in the back of my mind when I wrote my post. But indeed, because it is hard to change your name in Germany, I know quite some women who used marriage to get rid of a surname that they did not like, because there is hardly any other socially accepted way to get rid of it.
I was intrigued and looked for details. Thankfully though, nowadays many virtual files in /proc are generated via `single_open_size`, which is a simpler version of `seq_file` which has no such problem (to my best understanding) because it should generate the whole file contents in one go. I couldn't pinpoint the exact kernel version though, the transition seems to have happened somewhere in the 3.1x era.
This is sobering. Just found out a couple beloved restaurants in the city I called home, and moved out of a year ago, are gone.
An outsider’s perception of a “Problem” doesn’t always intersect with the insider.

How to Write a Competition Slide
Stop repeating that nonsense! The current Dutch alphabet has 'Y' as its 25th letter. Not 'IJ'. This is a historical thing.

The 'IJ' is a letter, culturally speaking, in the sense that it is capitalized as one, and that it is often rendered as a single unit (which you can see in vertical lettering, if done right), and sorted as if it was a single letter. In terms of character encoding however, it is a 'i' followed by a 'j'.

Cf.:

* https://onzetaal.nl/taalloket/ij-plaats-in-alfabet (first sentence!)

* https://taaladvies.net/ij-alfabetisering/

See my other posts for 0x0132, which is a compatibility character for rare obsolete character encodings which did encode it on a single codepoint.

In my experience building large applications in Python becomes delicate due to the lack of static typing, as well as overlooking issues of scope in variable usage. It can be avoided with diligence but I’ve definitely shot myself in the foot and let errors slip through in Python programs I’ve written for the above reasons, which ended up compromising the validity of the program (mainly automated test scripts that were used to test other software and hardware).

I’ve only been programming for about 5 years in earnest. I held on to Python for dear life in the first days of my career, but have since transitioned to full-time C/C++ development, primarily in embedded and hardware interfacing applications. I feel like my large programs are much more manageable and maintainable now. Some of this is of course due to having grown as a programmer as well.

What counts as accent vs letter depends a lot on the language. For example, in German the umlauts are considered own letters and not accented vowels, in Spanish ñ is considered an own letter and not an accented n etc.

Well yes, the question was if there are any European cities that have done it - and as you said, that's been traditionally possible here because cities were never designed to be car-centric in the first place. In US, it's the opposite - cities were built with cars in mind, so just building parks over highways isn't going to solve anything.
can someone explain on best means to embed large text? does the techniques matter (averaging vs. concat vectors)?
That seriously underestimates how common it is for European names to have diacritics.
So in reality they let go about 20% of their workforce. This seems to be roughly inline with what's happening elsewhere in the industry.

I suspect they've realised (like others) that funding is going to be much tighter going forward, or at least valuations less attractive, so they're adjusting their burn rate accordingly.

This seems a lot less apocolyptic than what < https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/the-risk-of-risc-v-what... > would have you believe.
The New Testament is pretty open about the fact that what Jesus claimed can be pretty hard to believe. The other disciples doubted Jesus too for a very long time. Yet eventually, what they heard and experienced convinced them enough that they preferred to be put to death rather than deny its truth. What makes you think Judas is more trustworthy than them?

(In fact, the Bible's willingness to talk about the weaknesses of its protagonists makes it all the more believable to me. If the early church leaders had "censored" the story to fit their own interests, why did they leave in all that embarrassing stuff about themselves?)

> You're making guesses about my standards that aren't warranted at all. They absolutely can be met. First off I'm specifically worried about large objects, a meter or larger.

I've personally watched my car go around trash cans and bikes in the road, and (obviously) stop for halted vehicles. So, you'll abandon this argument and concede the point? I suspect you won't, because my anecdote isn't enough for you, and those obstacles aren't sufficient proof, etc...

I think I'm more right than you want to admit. There's nothing I can say here to change your mind, and so coming here and demanding "evidence" isn't really an argument in good faith.

And an edit just to pick on this bit:

> Okay, if FSD can manage 1 billion miles of freeway driving with [emphasis in original] zero or one crashes into large objects, then I'll be convinced they're solving the problem.

That's simply a ridiculous argument. That level of safety is way, way, WAY beyond anything you get from existing transportation systems of any kind, period. A quick google shows that in that "one billion miles on the freeway", you'd expect not merely the "one accident" you're demanding, but in fact TWENTY FATALITIES (I couldn't find statistics for mere collisions, but needless to say it's going to be at least an order of magnitude or two higher).

So basically you're sitting here and glibly demanding that this product be 200x safer than its competitors before you'll consider it acceptable... and getting huffy when I call you unserious?

How can you add a new place? If you want to avoid spam you could maybe ask for a Yelp link or something which you could scrape.

There's plenty of really good restaurants which I've loved and have closed, from glitzy cities to war zones, but one fairly normal place sticks out in my mind - a sloppy joe shack off the side of interstate 87 north of NYC in the corner of a Yonkers parking lot. The genre of classic American places where you can find ridiculous portions of very unhealthy food executed perfectly is rapidly dying out and anywhere around NYC it is practically extinct, but this place did it perfectly. My God, what could be more American than a sloppy joe shack? Eight dollars cash got you a quantity of meat, homemade french fries and toppings sufficient to feed a midsized European city for three months, and it was all done so well - brioche bun, good meat, very good homemade fries, shoved into a large cardboard box.

It's funny, because ten or twenty years ago the list of unhealthy all-American-huge-portions-done-right was a mile long wherever you'd go. You didn't even have to check the internet, you could just drive around until you found the right mix of cars outside and you'd know. Now the genre is as good as dead in large parts of the country and dying in the rest. You go into a diner and find that it's under new management by skinny hipsters and you just want to cry. It's the same ultra-processed-bullshit but now it's been rearranged by some jackoff without taste buds and downsized to fit in a teacup. I eat healthy, sane portions at home, I'm here for a reason, just give me a big pile of red-blooded-American-garbage-god-Damn-it!

If anyone else knows of any other true-American places in or near NYC, let me know :)
There is potential to import and export DOT and e.g. Mermaid. Of course the editor functionality would be limited to what those formats support, and diagram layout would not be exported 1-to-1, as it's recalculated by the renderer of that format eventually. These are not on the immediate roadmap.

I was bitten by this recentishly and I had to learn the difference between file descriptors and descriptions. I had a program that was misbehaving when talking to a tty, but not when the output was piped through cat. Turns the program would set O_NONBLOCK (a description level property) on its input, but of course the shell was dup'ing the input tty fd to output as well, implicitly making the output non-blocking as well. Setting the output to a different description (i.e. the pipe) would workaround that.

> dlt is a minimalistic Python library, requires no backend and works whenever Python works. You can finetune it to ... run with ... Dagster.

Relating to dagster in particular, this is in your docs:

dlt incorporates the concept of implicit extraction DAGs to handle the dependencies between data sources and their transformations automatically. A DAG represents a directed graph without cycles, where each node represents a data source or transformation step.

When using dlt, the tool automatically generates an extraction DAG based on the dependencies identified between the data sources and their transformations. This extraction DAG determines the optimal order for extracting the resources to ensure data consistency and integrity.

How do you think about tying and running this and dagster together?
