Reporting bugs via feedback assistant is sometimes required when you've successfully found a developer inside Apple who has agreed to fix your bug and they just need the feedback number for internal work reporting purposes. Submitting unsolicited bug reports are just a pointless waste of time. I wouldn't say I'm specifically "boycotting" Feedback Assistant; I just stopped using it because it wasn't doing anything useful.
This seems like an extremely over complicated way of defining a game. If I play chess, or a video game, or tennis, I am not doing those things to 'understand my reality'. I am doing them because it is usually fun and gives me some kind of dopamine(ymmv), you might even say I play games to get away from reality. Some people use games to learn, some use them to accomplish an otherwise mundane task. Some people split games into 'finite and infinite' but typically they are a form of play, governed by a set of rules, that lead to some outcome. Games can be zero sum, or not.
I believe the big tech will grow even bigger in the future.

So all in TQQQ.
The headline is wrong to claim that Epic lost to Apple. Epic didn't get everything they wanted, but:

> U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple must allow app developers to “steer” customers to alternatives to the tech giant’s payment processing service, which collects a 30 percent fee on most digital transactions. That was previously not allowed by the company, and marks a major victory for developers which have long complained of the tight grip the tech giant holds over its App Store on the roughly one billion iPhones currently in use.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/10/apple-e...

So even if this case is weaker, and even if a weaker case leads to a worse outcome for Epic (not guaranteed), Epic might still win something they desire.
Something I have noticed lately, First startup idea that every Devops person starts with is to create a CI/CD project because they think world is inefficient and workflows can be optimized, and then they pivot to other ideas.
It’s ego
Nothing would happen. Websites and GitHub repos for posting Apple bug reports publicly have existed for over a decade.

The good thing here is that they seem to be converging on names that contain the speed itself in plain text. "USB4 40Gbps" is as helpful as a name can get.
Not since 0.9.0. There’s been a lot of work on out of core stuff especially with big joins. It’s in the release notes. Also if you set a temp folder it will spill to disk (not set by default).

I used to have to chunk my data to avoid OOMs but I haven’t had to do that.

That said there are a few more out of core strategies on the roadmap that have not yet been implemented. If you still get OOMs, chunking your data will help.

Also consider that few gigs of RAM might not be large enough for your workload. Out of core strategies can only do so much.

Doing this on Android is still trivial compared to doing it on iOS. Doesn't the US use "case law"? And would the verdict in the iOS case set the precedent here?

Saying that, Apple was ordered to do some other things they don't like so maybe that's what they want applied to Google?
He made $1.43 million an hour from stock appreciation in a specific year. We didn't see similar headlines when he lost $20 billion+ from a stock slump; "Bezos Loses $2.3 million per hour! plans to commit suicide..."

How exactly could Google improve the experience?
[Author here.] Indeed, sectorFORTH (as I have mentioned) was the primary inspiration and guide for this project! Ironically, in some places I even had a rather different design which converged on a more sectorFORTH-like design - it's really well put together.

I've removed some primitives further from milliFORTH, but I haven't touched the arithmetic base. I hadn't seen those issues on sectorFORTH though, very interesting - I will look into it!

Interesting. However, it requires 5 megabytes worth of support code so the use case is somewhat limited.
When I started at GaTech in 1980 they still had card readers in the datacenter that nobody was using. I can't remember how we programmed (in Fortran 77) but it wasn't a whole lot more sophisticated than punchcards. Some sort of batch operation involving a trip to the service window. And a waiting period. I remember coding somehow on a paper teletype in the WREK studios. By the time I was finishing grad school 7 years later I was writing graphics code in $49 Turbo Pascal on my very own PC. With an add-on 80287 co-processor, natch. It was intoxicatingly awesome to sit down and code. Beautifully powerful. That's an astounding amount of progress. I don't think I've changed my coding tools significantly over the last 15 years. Emacs and c++ are better now, but the basic process & language are pretty much the same. I still have the 80287.
Free Software and Open Source are essentially the same thing, just looked at from different angles.

> git-rebase is stupid because somebody doesn't know how to use it?

The whole purpose of source control is to reliably track code changes so you don't lose anything and can revert to any point or recover from bad merges. Since rebase permits you to violate this core purpose and literally lose the entire history of code changes, then yes, it is stupid.
> Having your own car is objectively better in every meaningful way.

I'm honestly curious: Have you ever spent much time traveling or talking with friends in Europe or other places with much lower car ownership, about this particular point?

I have met while traveling or known socially or through work quite a few people who, sure, they would gladly accept a nice free car (who doesn't want $50k for free...), but would still prefer to walk or ride their bike or take the train most days, because it is actually a lot more convenient than lugging around a vehicle while going about their daily business.

Even in the US, there are tons of wealthy people in our cities who don't own a car (or keep it in the garage nearly all the time), not because they can't afford one, but because it just isn't as convenient.

Slightly edited "Why":

Access to private property is an essential pillar of democracy and the safe proliferation of ideas. While property owners have legitimate financial interests, it is crucial to strike a balance between property and the public's right to access property. The proliferation of locks on doors raises concerns about the erosion of this fundamental freedom, and it is imperative for society to find innovative ways to preserve access to people's homes and workspaces without compromising the sustainability of property ownership.. In a world where property should be shared and not commodified, locks should be critically examined to ensure that they do not undermine the principles of an open and informed society.

It's pretty obvious what causes this for both companies. You have companies that were previously in a precarious position, which attracts interest from short sellers who think the company will fail, but instead the company makes money. Then all the people holding a short position get desperate to drive the stock price down so they can close their position without losing their shirts, so they keep attacking the company well past the point that there is no reasonable expectation they're going to go bankrupt anymore.

That makes the company's supporters intolerant of criticism because they've been conditioned to expect criticism to be in bad faith. Which continues even after the short sellers have given up or been eviscerated by margin calls.
I don't think the Apple case sets a precedent, because that court didn't say that Apple wasn't a monopolist.

Energy costs are so high in the modern age relative to how dirt cheap it was pre-OPEC crisis, that any sort of significant energy consumption would be a barrier to significant adoption. Your average Joe cannot afford to mine Bitcoin, for example.

If anything we have mostly seen massive improvements in energy efficiency in the last two decades, with appliances, the switch to LED lighting from incandescent, heat pumps vs other heating/air technology, etc. What new technologies have shown up get quickly innovated in the name of energy efficiency.
Thanks - that looks interesting. It's especially appealing because it seems to add value beyond just being a neater wrapper to the same operations, it looks like it'll enable new ways of working with the tool.
People often describe me as unhappy, yet I'm one of the only people I know whose life would barely change if they won the lottery. In other words, I'd still be doing the exact same work I'm doing now, albeit probably with greater freedoms/less stress than I do now. I guess that means I'm "content" or whatever.
I still have fond memories of working on the 029 keypunch machines, the keys made such a satisfying sound. I also remember the rooms where thousands of chads from punching the cards collected and had a certain smell and the bright overhead lighting, the ample air conditioning, the raised floors, the background noise of the machines, the whirling tape drives; it was an experience I'll never forget.

Unfortunately, nothing is fun (for me) when done 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for months or years.

Buhari represents a large part of the Nigerians in the Northern states.

I would rather have a counterfeit cable that is clearly labeled. At least then I can trivially explain the fraud that was committed.

Without the labeling, every discussion about a counterfeit must include redundant clarification. Most fraudsters will take that as an opportunity to talk in circles.

this part is confusing to me in the doc.. I assume that you're using the httpfs (S3) extensions and perhaps doing scanning of the parquet files (which I think is actually streamed.. e.g. querying for a specific column values in a series of parquet files). We have a huge data set of hive-partitioned parquet files in s3 (e.g. /customerid/year/month/<series of parquet files>). Can i just scan these files using the glob pattern to retrieve data like I can with Athena? The extension doc seems to indicate that I can (from the doc: SELECT * FROM read_parquet('s3://bucket/*/file.parquet', HIVE_PARTITIONING = 1) where year=2013;) Or do I need to know which parquet files I'm looking for in S3 and bring them down to work on locally? If it's the former, then it seems equivalent to Athena..
> We might also ask where the fabled cave from The Republic is actually located.

Certainly. Plato's Allegory of the Cave is clearly a metaphor for enlightenment, with no pretense of being a literal place. However, his depiction of Atlantis in "Timaeus" and "Critias" is detailed and concrete, lacking the overt symbolism of his allegories. This detail might imply that Plato intended for Atlantis to be considered as more than just a metaphorical construct, perhaps as a tale grounded in some form of historical tradition.
A mile on foot isn't far either. The people living in those much vaunted walkable European cities think little of walking a few kilometers in a day; it's the American tourists who balk at that.

If you want a walkable city lifestyle but you also think walking a mile is unreasonable, your need a reality check. I'm going to walk to the park today to see the ducks, it's 1.5 miles away one way. I'm going to get groceries on the way back. I do this often, it's literally no big deal.

Cars have value, and for a few trips they are clearly better no matter what transit does. However for most of the trips people make every day a great transit system could exist that we be as good as - or better - than a car trip. Yes it would cost a lot more than the current transit system, and it would at best take a couple decades to build. However such a system could cover your needs.

While it looks like your bus service is hugely subsidized,it is NOT! Sure the numbers are big, but look at per person in the city and the amount is tiny. If you forcefully took the money everyone spends on cars and put it to transit that would be many orders of magnitude more money than they are getting now. What great transit needs is about what you spend on a car in a month for just insurance and fuel (meaning maintenance and the cost of the car are not included), so if you get rid of a car (not all cars, one car!) you can save a lot of money and that is something your transit system could do in your city if you would invest.

The a bus can go on strike is a problem to work on. You don't allow your electric service to turn off service because of a strike. You don't allow the hospital close because of a strike. (both of them do have unions and go on strike).
> force pushing makes code reviews harder

On any code base I've worked on that's larger than a small FOSS project, I've found that this simply isn't avoidable. Yes, there's merge commits but, for reasons I won't go into, I think those are worse than the alternative of rebasing and making code reviews difficult.

> One way to avoid this is to push new commits addressing the review comments, and then after the PR is approved do a rebase to reorganize everything.

Not realistic when working on a code base where PRs are being squash-merged every hour and the code review lasts for days.

The best middle-ground is to avoid rebasing until the current wave of feedback has been resolved, even if no one has actually approved yet.
It is great to see this release coming together. I am working on a new app right now. While authentication is a solved problem with services like Auth0, how to set up a robust authorization mechanism left me scratching my head. With Topaz, the decision to not built it myself was easy. Topaz is to AuthZ what Auth0 is to AuthN. Congrats on the release, very timely!

If you want standard responses then presumably LLMs will start to converge on those responses. But if you want a non-standard response then you have to ask for it, and I think that will continue to be a kind of "prompt engineering".

For instance I'm working in math problem generation right now and you could imagine saying "make the problem harder" and you'll get back... something. But what does "harder" really mean? It's very underspecified. If you work in making educational material you probably have some much clearer criteria, and if you are building a product you may have a clear point of view about what you want in the next problem in a sequence... and "harder" is just punting on all these details.

The tricks may stop being as necessary, but the deciding what you want and how to explain what you want seems essential no matter how smart the LLM is.
also you can use git rerere if you need multiple goes for the rebase, it saves your conflict resolutions and applies them automatically when they occur again(you need to resolve the conflict when it happens for the first time).
I remember punch card Christmas wreaths. You twist each card into a cone (a kind of modernist holly leaf) and you staple them together in a big ring, spray paint green and add a big red bow. Somebody made giant wreaths this way for an office party.

Trivia bit.

For those that don't know, the Cal Poly Universities at Pomona and San Luis Obispo collaborate on the annual Rose Parade Float.

And the computer they used as the control computer in those early days was the AIM-65.
You should shop around too. I switched from Geico to Progressive and then to Connect (the one Costco members get). There's also a few you can only get from an agent which are way more picky about who they accept (I was rejected for switching brands too frequently).
Yeah it's weird they haven't added that yet.
I don't refuse to update software, but I do prefer to wait for as long as possible (preferably until I see a number of reports from others who have updated) and I absolutely don't want automatic updates at all.

Updating software is risky and can come with functionality loss, unexpected functionality/workflow changes, etc. Which means I want to do it when I have a couple of days available to recover from it.

Random thought: given you already have the gcaa alias, perhaps you could include a check that .git/REBASE_HEAD doesn't exist in that?

Probably easiest as a little shell function like

gcca() {
local GIT_DIR
if ! GIT_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); then
return 1
elif test -f "$GIT_DIR/REBASE_HEAD"; then
printf 'Rebase in progress: commit --amend is disabled\n' >&2
return 1
fi
git commit -a --amend "$@"
}

rather than an alias?

[Edit] I forgot about rev-parse --verify, which simplifies this further:

gcca() {
if git rev-parse --verify REBASE_HEAD >/dev/null 2>&1; then
printf 'Rebase in progress: commit --amend is disabled\n' >&2
return 1
fi
git commit -a --amend "$@"
}

This also leaves you still able to use commit --amend long-hand if (for example) you want to edit one of your own commits during rebase -i.
Not to me it doesn't. When the thing is a movement in the software community, the perspective changes the essence of the thing.
