That's also what is bad about winget - not having scripting language. AFAIK there were 0 incidents with choco scripts, they are mostly trivial to review (choco also has team of reviewers and no package can be published without being reviewed) and many tools simply can't be installed without PowerShell - the idea of "help some of the upstream packages clean up their installers" is irrational and unrealistic - some of those tools may be even done with the upgrades, which doesn't mean they shouldn't get a package.

Furthermore, many choco packages are embedded and contain the software, which means they can be cached (artifactory, nexus etc.) do not depend on vendor location and can work forever (like development dependencies). All of this makes winget vastly inferior to choco at this moment and suitable for hobby/home use, not serious things like maintaining CI/CD pipeline.

Choco package number and speed of update is on par with Arch.

The good thing about winget is it comes with Windows, which is probably the only one at this point.
If you make a binding contract with thief A, you should honor it.

If you recognize them as the rightful owner at the time, make an agreement for exchange, then the burden of consistency is on you. Buyers remorse is not sufficient to unwind your obligations while retaining the property.

Another way of resolving this is simply recognizing that conquest does not create obligation, but diplomatic agreement does. It is a matter of integrity and honor, literally, in the sense of do you honor you commitments or are you a liar.

While repugnant to some, I think this is quite clear. In the cases where settlers simply took land by force of arms, they created no legal or honorable obligation. Where they took land by legal agreement, they have created an obligation.
> Sprint was clearly about to go bust had the merger not happened, and there still would’ve been three cell phone companies.

Or alternatively, Sprint's shareholders would have been wiped out, and its creditors could have continued operating it after taking a loss on their loans, preserving competition in the cellular service market.

My source is that they reported they were set to be cash flow positive (meaning profitable outside of servicing debt) in 2019:

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3413933-sprint-cfo-sees-t-mobi...

That still might have been untenable for their shareholders, but it is misleading to say the alternative was still three cellular service companies.
Huh, thats rather odd argument. It is like saying no one is stopping anyone to write new low level, memory-safe programing language, that won't have Rust style async system. If there is real market demand it could fairly popular project.

DB drivers, http servers, runtimes and so many other complex components are preferences of high skilled developers and not some objective market choices. Once its developed most application developers have to use it however user unfriendly it maybe.

The Chinese manufacturers are definitely promising but it's still an import ordeal for a dubious quality product. For now we're making do with some second hand lead-acid UTVs and planning on doing lithium conversions mostly to get rid of the hassle of watering and maintaining lead-acid. But this market could definitely use some more options from the automotive side. EV converting a small Suzuki 4x4 has been on my mind for a while now. That and an EV converted skid steer would be my ideal duo of farm vehicles. With LFP batteries finally becoming more easily available it may become possible soon.
"mio" was the game in town for years and it was definitely not ideal at all, it was promising but very low level and most people didn't use it if they could help it. People wanted async/await.
I'm seeing indications that this is sometimes related to language translation using GTranslate.io [1]

> We use XNUMX variable instead of all numbers in our edit interface. For example "10 cents" in your original text is represented as "XNUMX cents" in the edit interface, so if you translate "XNUMX cents" once, the same translation will be used for all similar phrases like "11 cents", "18 cents", etc. This helps to do less work.

Lots of people try to jump on the "silicon based life isn't possible", but even on that I take a different viewpoint.

As we are watching AI with concern on our own planet, what if that is a common bootstrap. Carbon based life creates silicon/metallic 'life'. And if that is possible, who knows what that would bootstrap itself into in the future.

People tend to read "disputed" as "there's significant camps of reputable experts on each side" when the actual scenario is "there's a tiny loud minority opposing the generally accepted consensus".

Like climate change, or creationists trying to claim evolution is disputed at a scientific level. It isn't, but they'll tout lists of "experts who doubt evolution" to try and make people think there's more doubt than there really is.

> Note that Watts, in general, goes down (not by a lot, and not at every voltage, but generally, linearly) as Voltage goes up...

I would say it flattens out pretty quickly and doesn't keep going linearly. This probably has to do with the fact that the device was designed to be powered from 12V so the supporting components of the power supply would have been chosen to maximize efficiency around that input voltage.

EDIT: I was curious and had a WRT54G v2.2 laying around (unlike the 1.0 used by OP), which results in this graph: https://i.imgur.com/CBNTtRI.png
The lower power usage can probably be explained by my later revision having less LEDs and more integrated chips instead of several discrete ones.
I'm not sure that's true, I'd assume gravity is doing _some_ kind of job in keeping them inside by pulling down. I think losing them would be a lot easier if they were very light.
Somehow, in most other areas of engineering, people know how to reliably make things that last. All mistakes that were ever made are documented and taught so they're never repeated. Yet in software, half of the assumptions consistently turn out to be wrong (yeah, who knew there could be years after 1999) and the quality is severely lacking because "we can always push an update" so everything is in a perpetual beta.

> the resources your code uses are finite and the constraints around the resource usage may change

How? A chat app or a web page has no business using several gigabytes of RAM. About the only thing that I can think of that does push the available resources on modern devices to the limit is AI. Which is very niche and gimmicky, at least right now.

But then yes, it makes sense to update OSes to support new hardware. But only for that. Adding a couple of drivers doesn't warrant a major OS release. Neither does exposing new hardware capabilities via APIs so apps could make use of them. And redesigning UIs just for the sake of it is indefensible, plain and simple.

Prior to the pandemic, Google needed more office space, and it needed workers in the Bay Area.

I don't view this plan as ever being about "getting into real estate". It was just a way to get cities to agree to office construction, and also ensure that workers were willing/able to live nearby.

Anyway, given the amount of office space Google still owns and manages, they are very much "in real estate" in that regard...
Predictable cash flows are good for more-or-less everyone. Luckily Apple has a massive cash reserve and can easily take the short term hit. I suppose you can take advantage of that knowledge and buy when the reactionary investors sell on, perhaps, lower revenues if and when the time comes.
Everyone can see that I'm very clearly offering an opinion, and it's basically in agreement with your overall point. In your blind rush to defend China you've missed the mark.

But anyway, after an exhaustive search I've concluded that there's no active research being done into determining if a statement is worth of being labeled as "sus". In that case all we can do is defer to our machine god, ChatGPT.

> I watched senior engineering leadership ask senior Ops leadership why they had never been asked to fix them. Ops replied that their long experience in the financial industry had taught them that Ops never gets to use software which isn’t broken and that complaining about this is like complaining about gravity.

I see this everywhere not just at banks. A common workflow is horribly broken with dozens of habitual workarounds and the developer could fix it in a day if they knew about the issue. I even see it between engineering teams when there are cross-team dependencies. It is really hard to train people to not put up with chronic pain in their workflows!

I guess it's easy on the hunger/cravings side of things but it eliminates your ability to enjoy food and enjoy the social aspect of dining. I achieved similar by swapping out white bread for whole wheat and mostly eliminating dessert from my diet. I also have no hunger/cravings/calorie counting but I still enjoy all my meals. I don't mean to say that any one diet is the answer, just that if your goals are modest you have many options that will work, and most will be more pleasant than the potato diet.
The problem is if companies are bought by credit.

Companies bind a lot of money (in assets but also less concrete goods like people and expertise).

If you buy a company you need to pay for all of that even including _"potential"_ even if realizing that potential also would likely destroy the company.

So if you pay for it with liquidity that would "just" bind liquidity.

But if you pay for it with credit you now have to _pay of the credit_ or at least pay the interests.

So if the company made 100x€ profit every month but you have to pay 200x€ in interests every month to pay it of after 20 years then the investor loses 100x€ every month. Now that is the investor not the company and after 20 years they would make 100x€ profit, but for most investors that would be a major losing deal (I mean ignoring interests on interest, inflation etc. that would be 40€ until crossing even!).

In such situation the investor has a few choices, one paying of the additional 100€ with profit from a different company bought before where any interests are payed of. But humans only life so long, which brings us to the other solution:

Forcefully raise the profit from 100x to 200x to pay of interests squeezing out the company, then either resell a "now more profitable company" for more money or if the value of the company falls have some shenanigans ready to tax write of the loss in value....

Worse similar to a mortgage you can take on a house you can (at least in the US) make a contract where you get a credit you have to use to buy a company (or more like the lender directly pays a part of the cost) and the insurance for the credit is the company itself leading to a situation where the company basically now has to itself pay the 200x interests instead of the buyer. (example Twitter).

Now I'm gross oversimplifying things, but basically our financial system is so messed up that if a sustainable company gets bought there is a good chance it gets fucked up soon afterwards in one way or another. This in turn is not sustainable for the industry as a whole.

Now you might argue what has that to do with this case as not a person but another journalistic outlet bought them, well that other outlet is for profit and is likely to act as much as described above as a person. Buy, squeeze, resell or buy gut-out and write of is as much a case there then if a unrelated 3rd party would have bought it, and gut-out works much better if the buyer is from the same industry branch.

Interesting, foreign key constraints typically make sharding harder, interesting to see them add support for some type of fkey constraint (even though it's same-shard only) to the db.

You must really believe judges are dumb. So when the traffic stop goes to court, and it shows you were sitting on the toilet for the entire duration of the stop, then either:

1. The traffic stop must have never happened, the defendant is cleared of all charges, or

2. You are committing perjury. You go to jail.

> I could count significant innovations on a hand or two: the arrival of the internet (~1995), [...] smartphones

I get the broader tone of the comment, and I don't disagree, but I think you're dramatically understating the revolutionary nature of just those two.

It is now the case that any piece of information is available to any person anywhere on the planet instantly wherever they are. That is an unbelievable transformation, and it's visible in things like the turnaround on the COVID vaccine, as well as a dozen other different little things. The ability to share knowledge instantaneously to all parts of the globe for practically no cost is truly a revolution.

Like I said, I agree with a lot of the rest of what you say, but discounting the internet and the proliferation of smartphones is a thing you can do if you don't really remember life before them.
The cost per text is in the microfractions of a penny now, if that.

Then you're including all kinds of time for other delays, like copying data over PCIe into the GPU for the next batch, or waiting for the CPU to orchestrate things.

You could probably get a better estimate based on the network structure, the number of training epochs, and the size of each batch.
The problem here is you're looking at the system as individual parts instead of the entire system.

Lets imagine an entire economic system that was steady state. Why would profitability have to increase?

Instead we have a system that profit must increase, and profit must increase in every component of the system constantly due to inflationary practices.

If the goal of Buddhism is to send as many people to nirvana then controlling that narrative is important. Its not attachment to image, its basic practicality. The image also reflects the message so these images are spreading dishonesty about Buddhism which goes against the core tenants of right-thought and right-action. In fact, Buddhist monks would have to try to remove these images as per Buddhism. Its wrong-action and wrong-thought to knowingly allow what's essentially blasphemy and defamation against Buddhism to spread.

Not to mention in Theravada, and in other forms I imagine, these are very offensive images because it turns monks into sensory seekers, which is the opposite of equanimity. This is like, say, someone posting images on a church with Jesus being friendly with Satan and engaging in various sins.

Of course organized religion is a political power-base as much as anything of note in socieety, so there's always going to be a protective element to it. Theravada is the defacto state religion (the king must always be Buddhist per their constitution and the country is 93% Buddhist), thus Theravada enjoys a great level of protection. There are strong laws against religious defamation there that we don't often have in the West.

Lastly, you can use the "attached" excuse for anything. "Oh Buddhists dont like it when I punch them in the face? Guess they're too attached to feeling pain free!" Its a jerks argument that only empowers anti-merit.
A lot of the times, the 'correct' workflow isn't even documented enough to recreate it.

I didn't know that Polars was implemented in Rust. In fact, it's very neat that Rust can interop with Python so cleanly, but that shouldn't be surprising since Python is basically a wrapper around C libraries.

But I still think it's surprising how much legs Python model of wrapping around C/C++/Rust libraries has. I would assume that if you have Python calling the libraries, you can't do lazy evaluation and thus you hit a wall such as Pandas.

But we seen with compiling Pytorch and Polars that you can have your cake and eat it too. Still have the ease of use of Python while having performance with enough engineering.

The federal government appropriated a ton of land whether local people liked it or not.

Obviously the government didn't want to provoke massive unrest so it did some negotiating, but at the end of the day it did take whatever land it wanted, regardless of local opinion.

Also, regarding states ceding control of zoning to localities -- of course. That's just practical. But what the state gives, the state can take too. I'm talking about basic democratic principles, not what happens to be current law.
That is another hair to split, between "registered" at time of infringement and "registered" at time of lawsuit.

You need to register prior to bringing a claim. That isn't a big deal and can be done easily after any alleged infringement. But to get the attorney fees you need to have registered before the infringement occurred, something you cannot fix after you decision to sue.

Then to split hairs yet again, was the work registered at the time it was copied by the AI, or are you suing over infringement that occurred after a late registration? Are you claiming it was registered when the AI was trained on it, or are you claiming registration during the work's subsequent use by the AI after the training process? Maybe you can get attorney fees despite late registration if you can prove ongoing infringement after the pre-registration training process.

As devices like home fridges move towards “inverter drive” with switch mode power supplies, I wonder how low of a voltage they could still run off. And if they’d happily accept 48VDC and still function.

Saw a teardown/repair of a big home flatscreen TV and while the label on the outside said “120VAC”, the power supply inside said 120/240V, so it was the same internals worldwide, but labelled differently to discourage gray-market imports.
