Building a web app in Rust – my experience
After my DNS-320 I concluded to make it do everything I wanted, I need to really have a full OS I have control over.

So I built a box from one of those 4 bay Mini ITX chassis'. More expensive but I am loving the FOSS options like JellyFin.
There was also Latitude porting toolkit, which was a sort of reverse engineered MacOS toolbox that mapped Macos calls to native Unix calls, including Rhapsody, at the source level. Adobe used it to port Illustrator and Photoshop to Solaris & Irix

Lol major distopian vibes. "The government keeps me safe by preventing me from doing anything against the law (that they decide at their own free will). I love my brain chip."
One example: in 2000-2001, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela all publicly stated that they would also sell oil in non-US currency (in addition to, of course, selling in dollars).

Instantly all three countries were labeled “axis of evil” status, and our government became very threatening to all three countries (most obviously Venezuela where we did what we could to destabilize their government and parked our navy right off their shore).

I used to think that it was worth our tax payers’ money to enforce US hegemony, but now I don’t think it makes sense anymore for the benefit of the US tax payer. It does benefit the pro-war industries, and if you work in the “defense” industry then I don’t blame you at all if you support our current system.

Anyway, my perspective is that times change, and we should now push back against the continuous war lobby in Washington, and come up for a new plan going into the future that optimizes for prosperity and security. I believe we achieve security by have the best trained and supplied military on the planet, but keep them at home unless Congress agrees to formally declare war, and going to war has some form of public consensus. I want to go back to being a representative democracy.
> The class-action "complaint alleges that the vehicle's system downloads all text messages and call logs from Plaintiffs' cellphones as soon as they are connected," the Ford ruling said.

This doesn't match with my experience renting cars. After connecting Bluetooth for calls, I am specifically prompted as to whether or not I want to share contacts or texts. Of course I always choose "No". If you choose "Yes" to the question about sharing contacts and texts, it seems hard to complain that the car stores your contacts and texts.
Obviously true for coal. Far less obviously true for simple hydrocarbons, which appear prevalent everywhere in the solar system.
So you are planning on deciding ahead of time where to put folks and you have a small city of Smallville with lots of room to expand and 100k people and Megalopolis with 5M with water on all sides and nowhere to go up save bulldoze the already tall buildings and build taller ones.

You don't think that one could theoretically with 1M people's taxable income produce good enough schools to educate folks in the plethora of land available near Smallville.

Logically this isn't the sims what actually happens is that Megalopolis gets relatively much more expensive to live in than Smallville driving investment and folks who can't afford $5000 a month in rent to locate themselves there. Note I'm talking about other metro areas not in the woods in rural Idaho.

The relative availability of remote work, government locating offices outside of existing metros, tax breaks, major public works could all be factors in making this easier rather than harder but the process is all but inevitable given that current metros seem unlikely to be able to expand indefinitely
Riddle me this. How was it impossible to locate any of the owners for these?

Very cool that universities like Stanford that usually costs a lot of money offer their study material for free
> The only problem is that we know the outcome

The promotion/lawsuit happened over 15 years ago, and this event is hardly ingrained in pop culture. Not to mention the documentary is also marketed to people outside the US. What makes you so confident to say "we know the outcome"?
If the system was well-functioning the tax law would be clear enough that it doesn't take a team of lawyers and courts to know what's permitted.

How is anyone supposed to arrange their affairs if the law they're going to be subjected to isn't established until after the fact?
The ISPs all dropped USENET when NY AG Coumo strong armed several ISPs to drop Usenet Binaries for the made up reason of Child Porn. The tell was he wanted them to drop all binaries not just the 'adult' ones. He was running for Governor, which is why I felt it was a publicity stunt and a favor to big media, who didn't want to litigate about Usenet due to the complexity and the existing case law.
Your calculation would normally depend on how much support your dependents need, and that can be hard to work out. In this case I can't see how you can get an answer.
If it's critical, you should not use a cheap SSD. It is better to use a SSD for professional use, for servers.

I have seen and heard too many consumer market a-brand SSDs break.
Why would you want to deploy an Elixir app on a system that adds an unacceptable amount of latency to the network? K8s is trash for all the stupid network packets being copied from user space to kernel space and back
I don't really find that convincing. Sneaking in a bad battery is an issue, but why couldn't the government get involved there just like for gas?
Regarding RMT, I think Valve did the master play with their proto-NFT marketplace stuff, really ahead of the curve.
IME religious beliefs require suspension of disbelief and a certain amount of cognitive dissonance.

When I was religious I was uncomfortable with gambling and always voted to outlaw or heavily regulate it. Yet I can see folks I knew easily justifying taking such a job. The mentality was work for the heathen to win them to Jesus, and if you got really well paid then that's more you can tithe to the kingdom.
The core argument for tailwind is that it won't just be "make the approved text white on blue instead of white on green". Maybe you'll get "make the approved text a bubble with a checkmark on the left and make the title two lines where the second line is ..."

Frequently the change needed requires changing the html as well as the css (or maybe awkward advanced css). So you may as use a library/framework that lets you write an Approved component. At that point it's better to have the css and html for the Approved component in its own file as when you're updating the style you'll need to change some mixture of the html and css.

Without components tailwind is probably a bad choice.
Makes me feel old thats for sure
We were there over the summer and this was such a fantastic activity for my kids. It got them looking up at the buildings and really helped draw their attention to architecture and build a better mental map in their heads of the city. Not going to comment on if having a map is good or not, but the project is amazing.
The styles are already coupled to the component anyway, so what's your problem with putting them in the markup? The alternative is making up arbitrary class names and putting the styles in a separate file: now you've added an extra layer of mapping that the developer after you has to grok.
I don't have any experience with their ssd's but I have a few sandisk usb drives that have lasted far longer than any other brand in that hellish environment of being an os system drive. It is not really that bad but with the frequency that usb flash dies when used as a boot drive you would thing I am abusing them. The no-names I understand, junk from who knows where. but the worst offender was kingston, they are probably fine on windows as a rarely used backup unit. but as an openbsd system drive, hot garbage, I went through 6 in six months, I would expect better from a named brand. as a comparison I am still on the original sandisk units, 5 years and counting.
What kinds of things do you work on?

As a software engineer in aerospace, I have not really found it helpful. But neither has StackOverflow been as helpful to me as it clearly is to many. I think that what kinds of problems you're working on -- more specific than "software" -- likely plays into how helpful such resources can be.
GPT4 and Vision Pro are the gadgets that make me feel like I’m living in the future.
> Even terrible freeware EDA packages have design rules that will flag improper solder pad layouts

No, they don't. EDA software doesn't really know what size the terminations are. It knows how big the pad itself is, and is very good at keeping those out of trouble, but it doesn't know what size the solderable area is. You might tell it, or give it a 3D model, but make a mistake there and you're right back here. As well, there are so many different kinds of terminations (pop quiz: what kind are these?) that even if it does know what size they are, it doesn't necessarily know what size or shape the pad should be.

Also the CM will totally edit this stuff and not tell you. Which they're not supposed to do, and are probably better at if you're a huge customer, but they still do it. EDA sure doesn't know about that.
> A string->string table is not that difficult to get right

You're correct, which makes it doubly confusing as to why Windows doesn't do it.
No one is afraid of writing code, we're afraid of maintaining code, and solving tedious and repetitive problems that already have solutions. Frameworks abstract complexity, which in practical terms decreases the complexity I personally have to deal with, and shifts the complexity to the minds of a team of open-source developers who support the framework or library in parallel. Abstraction is exactly how we push the industry forward, not by building less, more basic, and shittier applications in a some faux-noble quest to use inline event handlers.
One capacitor on a tank array would definitely reduce its total capacitance, but they are nearly always in parallel and would not cause a failure of the whole tank, and the device would be inoperative if the output of the array was shorted.

I'm skeptical that losing one capacitor in the array would cause the failure mode you're describing. Especially if the age of the devices is considered, the array would have been designed with margin to withstand capacitance loss as the device ages.
It isn't just dynamic range compression. This is actually driving the speakers beyond their safe limits for sustained output as long as the temperature estimate (a function of the specific speaker's characteristics and the recent history of the signal it's been fed) is safe. "Dynamic range compression" doesn't imply any of that.
Wow, it looks pretty nice! I see that it even provides a Terraform module: "All-in-One: This is a consolidated module that first installs NixOS using nixos-anywhere and then keeps it updated with nixos-rebuild. If you choose this, you won't need additional deployment tools like colmena." That would a great thing if its solid.

I've never heard of kexec before; not very familiar why installing NixOS using kexec is only supported on x86 but not aarch64.

I wonder what are the advantages and downsides of nixos-anywhere v.s. nixos-infect.
>Cultural appropriation is a very real thing

No it's not. It's about as real of a thing as the miasma theory. It's a idea that's been laundered through academia, but that doesn't make it anything but "well researched" fiction.

Tried it with my parents, not unexpectedly did they not want to partake in such overly personal tomfoolery.

Not all people, perhaps not even most, enjoy creating.
Laws of nature:

- High volume resellers out negotiate low volume.

- New high volume consumers soak up any surplus capacity of producers, maintaining prices.

Why would eGo offer batteries for a lower price than what they can already sell at their current capacity to make them? Manufacturing, packaging and retail capacity is not elastic at a fine grained level.
> the idea is that it's more secure and more respectful of privacy than alternatives, which are virtually ubiquitous and mostly in the hand of US tech and finance companies.

i think we can’t have an argument because you’re seeing the idea rather than the implementation and all the mutations it will undergo. there’s no orwellian system in existence now, except in the hands of intelligence agencies, that set out with explicit goal to do evil. they start nobly, but with such unfettered access to personal information that only supernatural self-restraint can stay the hand of abuse. so maybe let’s talk about this system in a couple of years time.

i preambled my submission with an acknowledgment that democracy is among the most abused terms. i guess all you need is to throw a popular election somewhere in there and voila there’s your democracy, however far away it is removed from the decision making body.
Yep, AI doesn't need to be AGI to be profitable or useful.

I am bullish on AI but don't see AGI happening, yet I developed AI solutions that solved real world problems, and made companies tons of money and helped people solve non-AI, non-IT problems.

So, I never buy the AI-crypto-equivalence.
I am continuously amazed at how awesome valve is and what awesome products it makes. Also steam supporting linux single handedly advanced adoption of that os. Apparently the best types of companies are those founded by deeply technical people, still owned and run by them, no venture capital. In an ideal world we would favour such companies over toxic ones.
depending how light weight, my go to on old computers would a xubuntu or xfce flavor. that DE is awesome.
You would expect at least 1000x, and that's probably where it would be if they didn't include JIT compile time in their time. Mandelbrot sets are a perfect example of a calculation a GPU is good at.
I find the combination of a component framework such as React with a fully fledged backend such as Laravel or Rails with Inertia.js is perfect. The best of both worlds.

All this server side components is just over engineering no one needs, and even if you think you need it the complexity and vendor lock in introduced is not a trade off worth to do in my opinion.
How so? Prices are rarely fixed even integers so people are used to floats anyway.
Parallel reduction and prefix sums are exercises to train people how to reformulate algorithms for the GPU and how to identify performance bottlenecks specific to GPUs. In practice, you'd use library functions.
I was about to comment that but luckily stopped to search if someone else already did. In our company this is taken pretty seriously and would trigger some raised eyebrows from the security department :)
Maybe because the linked Website is not the original Oberon, and derived OSes done at ETHZ.

The question of the parent naturally should be answered in regards to what was available during the 1990's.
I think the important point is that the comment you are responding to was talking about 2012. CarPlay didn't come out until 2014, Android Auto in 2015. So before that, the only option for infotainment systems was various levels of suckage, and I think it was a differentiator among people wanting the "least sucky" system.

These days, even when I see the rate infotainment system that is pretty good, people still want CarPlay/Android Auto because that's what they're used to, and it already integrates with settings and data that have already been configured on the user's phone.

You bring up a good point. From my perspective, I am amazed that Japan went along with the Plaza Accords (worth researching and reading about, intersecting stuff!)

With, but it's still bonkers that it works so well

>Also is there a practical motivation for creating them?

You could get in-between model sizes (like 20b instead of 13b or 34b). Before better quantization it was useful for inference (if you are unlucky with vram size), but now I see this being useful only for training because you can't train on quants
Regulation isn’t perfect but it can do a lot to prevent the worst outcomes.
That might be the case for super local taxes (eg. Paying land tax to the town), but for nationwide taxes even a big company makes basically no difference. Therefore, politicians don't really care - it isn't their money and doesn't directly impact them.
Yes

> The 19th century Lorentzian ether theory was ruled out by the famous Michelson-Morley experiment, which ruled out the possibility that the Earth moves through the ether. What we propose here is that the Earth (and everything else) is made of ether. No experiment so far ruled out that possibility, so such a neo-Lorentzian ether theory is a viable possibility

Cheaper to buy a bottle of water on the ISS than at a concert or sportsball game. Epic.

A similar dynamic happened with railroads. It's hard to predict just how much change this could cause!
Banks don't have to offer you an ID; governments do.
I agree that this is achievable but it seems to contradict your original assertion. Mocking out other services doesn't give you the same assurances as end to end testing the whole stack.

To me it's a classic tradeoff: the more you integrate in your tests, the more meaningful they are - but also the harder to write and maintain.
The only really good ones I would imagine are any one not disadvantaged by having any unique UI elements and can derive their value 100% via a simple linear arrangement of prompt responses and API calls. I feel though that even in the short time it's been out almost all the obvious good ideas have been tried.
That's assuming you can trust the single party not to pick winners to share data with and losers to keep out.

With Apple we know they have a bunch of revenue streams based on selling actual products to users, so there's much less of a hazard there. With Google... who knows what they'll do to juice their next earnings report?
> Not sure about what they're saying about the solder though.

There's more than one solder alloy in use. There's more than one class of solder alloy in use. Some are easier to use, some are harder to use. Some are high-performance, low-tolerance, some are low-performance, high-tolerance. Some are expensive, some are cheap.

The most troublesome family is SnBi. These are relatively new. They have a big "greenwashing" problem in that they solder at lower temperatures, which is "environmentally friendly" (and cheaper to run). Also the base metal is dirt cheap. (Wonder why manufacturers are interested?) It's also very, very brittle. It also happens to be a low-temperature alloy... so it's much easier to get hot enough to desolder during operation. Lots of trouble all around and in general a very high field failure rate. Not recommended... oh wait but it's cheap and greenwashable. Sigh.
hmmm, that seemed very high and a quick check on usinflationcalculator.com shows 100$ are more like 15$ from 1973. still impressive, though.
What company do you work at where they're willing to train a bunch of developers up to data science from scratch? That's a multi-year investment if you want a team that can actually solve real problems without causing more problems.
>- information highway instead of doom-scrolling

It's really interesting to read about the vision that drove Douglas Englebart (inventor of the computer mouse, did the "Mother of All Demos" where he introduced a bunch of modern computing tech for the first time). Englebart was a hippie who envisioned a future where researchers used the tools he was creating to collaborate remotely and work to solve complex problems. His tagline was "Boosting Our Collective IQ"
generally when i'm using matplotlib instead of d3 it's because i'm less concerned about things like refactorability and hidden global state than about getting some data points on the screen in as few keystrokes as possible; %pylab inline and the pyplot api are far superior for that

Everything in the article including your quote here supports the assertion that the exceptional CT take is treated as a windfall (and this article is from before the actual budget where investment funds to manage the expected CT windfall were announced).

All I can say is that you are wilfully ignorant or commenting in bad faith, so I'm going to stop engaging with you.
> There are some scenarios such as some car rentals, that are going to be difficult with a debit card, but if you don't need those things then you don't.)

Hired a car in Canada just fine on my recent vacation to Canada. A whole trip, on debit. No Credit Card -- from Flights to AirBNB to arriving back home. Maybe back in the 90's, sure undeveloped nations probably; but that's a different scenario entirely.

> * Unused credit limit increases your credit score. If you don't have credit cards your credit score is lower than it could be, which means you lose out on better rates and deals.

No credit card and my score is high up there in the 90%'s. How do I know? I have a mortage where they do take scores in to account highly. If I had debt on my credit card I would too be losing points on my credit score if unpayments.

> * The credit card regulations are more pro-consumer than debit card regulations, so if you ever experience fraud this may become relevant to you. In tech terms, a debit card is an open port to your bank account, a credit card is a firewall between your bank account and charges.

Eh. Agree to Disagree.

> This, however, is not true. You are certainly missing on a number of benefits. Obviously it's a choice to make, but it is not true to state you're not missing on anything.

I still don't see what I'm missing. No one's named anything that is making me rush to get a credit card. $200 spending at Banana Republic? Yeah, no thanks.

It works for some, and for me it doesn't. I see it as an evil device that you need to keep a tight check upon. Telling everyone to get a credit card is bad advice.

It's a method of spending more money than what you really have and one with a both has advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantages way out more than advantages and as I said, if you can't pay, which is true to say for debit; your still better off on debit because with credit can take what you own regardless. Debit they can not.

I don't have fond memories of early React; It was extremely verbose not having hooks until relatively recently, build tools were necessary but a horrible mess, and it was falsely advertised as being faster than vanilla JS. Hype around Facebook carried React. It has improved massively since then, but so has vanilla JS. I don't see a transition away from React as a step back at all. React made rendering new elements client-side and attaching events cleaner, but that was never a hard problem per se and we have web components now.
> You now have to give your identity to a third party each time you access it

No. This is one of the safeguards. The ID just tells you if you are above the age or not. Nothing more.
