I had a lot of fun learning Clojure. While I don't use it in daily practice, I learned a lot about elegancy, the advantages of data immutability and using code as building blocks. For learning I used the 4clojure website where you can solve interactive coding puzzles and learn from solutions of others. See: https://4clojure.oxal.org
That rings untrue in the face of how John MacCarthy specified Lisp interpretation, on paper, in Lisp itself, quite briefly, and didn't even suspect it would be executable. Then Steve Russel comes along, and bootstraps it by hand-translating it to code.

Never did they ever say that would implement the UI of Blender (I assume that's what you were referring to) using OpenGL. I think what they meant was that implementing just a UI in OpenGL isn't as hard as the other guy thought
Former film student here, this is all correct but I wanted to rephrase part of it-

Most of the time, you don't need to worry about focal length ( especially because it's so complicated when you're trying to talk about different sensor sizes)

The real measurement here is distance from the camera. The further you are physically from the camera, the flatter things look. Now, when you're further away, you obviously need to zoom in to make your head fill the frame, but it's way easier to think about it in terms of distance first, and then find a webcam/lens/crop that works.

I use a pro camera as a webcam (with a cheap HDMI/USB stick), and I have it mounted on my desk around 3/4 feet from my face. That seems to work well for my face shape.

I got my first job furiously doing that for nights on end. It felt like cheating but it’s ultimately way faster than waiting potentially years to figure out those tricks on your own.
They announced a long time ago.

Unless it's an actual feature, you are tied to a phone number.

All the examples require your phone number.
"How many nuclear bombs were dropped on civilians in your lifetime versus how many AI break throughs happened in the last decade? Again. Common sense."

If this is the apex of your reasoning the basis of your perspective is pretty easy to understand.
IDK, I still some of it boil down to "B -> A" being extremely ambiguous. Other than the annoying Tom Cruise example (I finally know where it came from!), I've seen people frequently bring up "The color of the sky is blue" vs. "Blue is the color of the sky" - but this illustrates my hypothesis perfectly. In training data (and in the totality of what humans ever said or wrote), "Color of the sky is " is almost certain to be followed by "blue" - meanwhile, "Blue is the color of the " has a lot of possible completions, of which "sky" is by far not the most likely.
It was originally a meta-joke way of pointing out you'd left something out by intentionally leaving out the verb in the sentence where you pointed out you'd left something out.

It's since become a meme of sort as a more general way to flag as a joke that you've done something "accidentally" where a fully formed sentence would be more ambiguous.

E.g. "I accidentally created a scheme" might still not be entirely serious about it being an accident, but it's open to interpretation and sets a slightly more serious tone. "I accidentally a scheme" clearly signposts the title is at least in part a joke.
I've known plenty of devs who have managers who don't understand the effort required to do their job, and who have automated a lot of it, but they rarely goof off. If you're capable of that you're rarely the goofing off type. They've always been people who help others a lot, write high quality code, do things that are extra to their job (running guilds, sitting on steering groups, etc). Maybe I've been lucky.

I mean, you kinda can. There's a depressingly thriving market for stolen cards and things like compromised accounts. A card is a couple of dollars. There are many jurisdictions that turn a blind eye to hacking us companies. Look at how hard it's been to rein in the ransomware gangs and even 'booter' (ddos-for-rent) services.

DoS isn't as lucrative as other things; I assume that most state actors would far prefer to find a way to turn this into a privilege escalation. But being able to possibly take out a cloud provider for a while is still monetizable.
Yeah, that is the pure link. I posted it after I saw your comment.
I mixed up two things I was trying to do. I was writing an async generator and making it so inside the loop it could decide what to do with the delay. That way you could add a half tick if you wanted. :) But here's how I would rewrite it:

async function* tickSeconds() {
while (true) {
const m = new Date().valueOf()
const s = Math.ceil((m + 10) / 1000)
await new Promise((resolve, _) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(), s * 1000 - m)
})
yield s
}
}

for await (const s of tickSeconds()) {
console.log(s)
}

I prefer to inline some obvious stuff that is missing than do a paradigm shift to using callbacks or build up an ad hoc library of misc functions.
I'm sure it does happen; there are a surprising number of duct-taping jobs where a person is hired to fill in a systemic/organisational/processual gap with manual labour. Those are often very good targets for automation.

There are also the other stories we don't hear: One of my first jobs involved a very repetitive software task that got boring quickly. I spent four weeks trying to automate it, but eventually had to declare failure[1] and then I had to explain to my boss why I was a month behind on my work that was due in a couple of weeks[2].

I imagine that for every "automated my job and now I can do it in 15 minutes" story there are 15 stories of "I automated my job and now I work just as hard maintaining the automation" and another 50 stories of the "I tried automating my job but failed" kind. Only the first one gets re-told.

[1]: Mainly due to hardware quirks I didn't have the experience and skill to work around.

[2]: This is not a story about how automating something is bad; it's a story about the bad decisions one makes when one is inexperienced!
Two observations:

- "serverless" is a really bad name for these systems. As is often commented, some variation of "somebody-elses-server" would be better.

- Cost wasn't mentioned in the article, but the cost of renting databases and search-indices is still really high, even though these technologies are no longer the new hotness.
My kids both got social shit and low-level exclusion for being green, with stories of the same for their peers. It's like being seen as dressing in hand-me-downs. Shouldn't make a difference, and doesn't to the wearer, but it does to the others. All stupid yet thanks to the way people are socialized, true.

Note that NASA has already extracted Oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars.

"Since Perseverance landed on Mars in 2021, MOXIE has generated a total of 122 grams of oxygen – about what a small dog breathes in 10 hours. At its most efficient, MOXIE was able to produce 12 grams of oxygen an hour – twice as much as NASA’s original goals for the instrument – at 98% purity or better."

So disappointed that MS hasn't rolled out PowerShell 7 but I guess it's easier to develop a programming language when you don't have to deal with users.
A good way to handle the who-updates-the-updater issue is to use a triple partition updater. A updates B, and then B updates C, then C updates A. If anything about the new version prevents it from properly updating its neighbor, that neighbor won't be able to close the loop, and you'll fall back to A. This simplifies the FSBL, because it just boots the three partitions in a loop, no failure detection required. You don't need to triplicate the full application either, just the minimum system needed to perform an update, and then have the "application" in it's own partition to be called by the updater.
My point is not that the message comes before the story. My point is that there really isn't a “message” at all.

Its that they make something as generic and “safe” as possible, then put women, minorities or homosexual representation in the movie very late (after writing maybe) and it becomes forced.

Then when the movie bombs for being uncreative and forced they claim that it’s because of racists or misogynists. Because a few people genuinely are racists and misogynists it masks all the criticism and they can blanket deny that theres any issue.
We understand your concerns, however there is no comparison between Crypto AG and us.

I think that the overall cost of producing 1 GW of monocrystalline solar PV (a technique China has apparently mastered) is very comparable to the cost of producing a single year's worth of enriched uranium fuel rods, at that's from comparing the costs of acquiring the raw materials, putting them through the requisite processing stages, and producing the finished product.

It's not even close, with some limited exceptions, like Finland and other Artic Circle zones.
Well part of that is that what we consider "Roman" culture and history is actually the culture and history of hundreds of societies that the Romans became administrators of. That's one reason why there were so many places like Austria, Romania, Byzantium, and Catalonia that claimed to be Roman successor states. It could be argued that true Roman history ended in 90BCE and from that point on it became more "Classical Imperial Europe" history because their administration had become so massive and encompassing. So much of that supposedly Roman history details the people of Iberia, Asia Minor, North Africa, and the Rhineland. Through their own biased lens they were really historians of the cultures they turned into protectorates.

Yeah, good to hear. I also did this for nights on end. My strategy was to try to solve the puzzle myself first (in a reasonable amount of time) and then check the solutions of others. Always fun to see if I could make my solution faster/shorter/more elegant/etc. with the inspiration of the other solutions.
Things shouldn't change if the nixpkgs version didn't change, you didn't disable the sandbox, and you don't have master branches of random repos as dependencies. If that's the case, sounds like a major nix bug.

If the sandbox is disabled (as it is by default outside of nixos I believe) then yes, you need to be very careful that there is no outside state that leaks into your build (usually through environment variables, PATH but not only - GCC is a big offender here), which sounds like what happened in your case? For archival purposes you really should be enabling the sandbox.
Neat fact! I guess that's basically Martingales for life expectancy?
It’s memory not code locality (do you mean in the instruction cache or something else?) that matters. The problem for a naive solution with poor memory locality is that the memory locality issue is more akin to a rewrite to a faster language. The performance gap left on the table can be significant but the need for it not show up in profiles because everything is slow.
"Covering laptops, cars and other connected objects as well as phones, the measure would allow the geolocation of suspects in crimes punishable by at least five years' jail. Devices could also be remotely activated to record sound and images of people suspected of terror offenses, as well as delinquency and organized crime."

While phones are a lost cause, the interesting thing is that they supposedly have (or claim to have) access to these other connected devices.

This was supposed to be the promise of open-source software: people making tools to share with everyone for free, so people don't need to pay vendors just to do something simple.

However, while software can be made free and open-source, someone still has to pay for servers to run for any of this stuff to work. These things were easier back in the good ol' days when everyone just used university computer resources. Nowadays, university tuition has skyrocketed, while universities are no longer freely hosting internet resources like before, I guess because they need to pay their deans millions and build really fancy new dorms.
France also suffered from the same anti-nuclear sentiment as the rest of the world. To the point that they a couple of years ago they were forced to shutdown their plants for maintenance after a decade or more of neglect.

The Olaf Scholz exemple from this article is just another exemple of how LLMs can’t count. If you try this prompt: “In this list of words: bike, apple, phone, dirt, tee, sun, glass; which is the fifth word?” it will fail as well. “Fifth” is not connected to any counting ability in LLMs the way it is for us.

If you now try this prompt: “Who’s Tom Cruise’s mother in this exemple: “Mary Lee Pfeiffer is Tom Cruise’s mother.”?” It will give you the right answer.

IMO this is a sign that it can understand reversibility.

The exemple used are not present enough in the dataset and the “confidence” of the model is not high enough for it to give the right answer. Or, as stated at the beginning they use counting mechanisms (or others) that the model just doesn’t have.
Vb6 at least had "on error goto".
I'm not really a frontend dev any more but I was for a long time. I can assure you that the only reason you think your code works is because no one tells you it's broken. If you use an error logging or telemetry service (Sentry, Rollbar, New Relic, etc) you will be aware that errors happen in frontend code all the time. It's just that most of the time bugs don't crash the app, and the user doesn't know what to expect so they see a broken feature and think it's meant to be like that.

Brie Larson is a good actress she is believable in many of her roles before captain marvel.

Even in captain marvel she is consistent- the issue is the writing makes her a smug self-centered person with no growth other than gaining even more confidence.

Its exclusively a writing/directing problem.

The hate got directed at her because she was the lightning rod for the movie, and she had a couple of awkward interviews and made a few really alienating comments about the franchises core audience and their relation to the movie.

But she is a good actress.
Extract:

There are now less than 13 days until the vote and the cyber security community, civil society and the public are still unable to read the proposed regulation, let alone scrutinize its impacts.

In a media Q&A given by the European Commission on Thursday (9th November), the Commission characterized the risks raised in the open letter from cyber security experts and civil society as a ‘misunderstanding’. The Commission went on to state that the open letter had been discussed with their experts, who concluded ‘there is no risk of government spying, nor breaching the confidentiality of internet connections’.
I'm sure it looks great and is all very clever, but I take issue with websites that can't display images without a bunch of JS enabled. Playing games with scrolling isn't great either.

I know most people will probably disagree with me, and only care about whatever looks flashy, but if we're handing out awards I hope it's for websites that prioritize accessibility and graceful degradation. Being able to do the fanciest things when browsers allow for it, but still ensuring that you can deliver the information when they don't is a dying art.

No, no they didn't. Most reactors that were shut down that summer were shut down for maintenance after a decade or more of neglect.
If you're not limited by the need to move around, then lithium doesn't make as much sense for power arbitrage technologies. There are literally dozens of such technologies capabale of storing intermittent solar/wind inputs in physical or chemical forms that can be pumped back out onto the grid as needed.

It's so ridiculous to think that human civilization would collapse just because we will eventually run out of stuff to dig out of the ground and burn, when the biosphere has been humming along on sunlight for about three billion years. Why is this so hard to explain to people?
I'm starting to wonder, why should it in the first place? Very late stages, or fine-tuning, I'd perhaps understand. But early on? Everything is possible, and "Foo is Bar's mother" doesn't imply much over "these tokens come together, sometimes".

It's not that humans aren't suffering from this too. It's possible to spot it when you're learning, or even easier, when you're teaching someone a new thing. A person who learned that "A is B" does not automatically learn that "B is A"; they need to first process it, perhaps run the reversion explicitly in their head. I'd say that checking if the student can infer "B is A" having learned "A is B" is a good way to tell whether they're starting to comprehend the material, vs. just memorizing it.
Plants also need nitrogen. Even if you chose plants that can get it just from soil and not worry about any fixing from the air, you need to get a lot to Mars for a terraform.

Seems like ERMS was a cheaper replacement for AVX and FSRM was a better version, for shorter blocks.

> Cheapest versions of later processors - Kaby Lake Celeron and Pentium, released in 2017, don't have AVX that could have been used for fast memory copy, but still have the Enhanced REP MOVSB. And some of Intel's mobile and low-power architectures released in 2018 and onwards, which were not based on SkyLake, copy about twice more bytes per CPU cycle with REP MOVSB than previous generations of microarchitectures.

> Enhanced REP MOVSB (ERMSB) before the Ice Lake microarchitecture with Fast Short REP MOV (FSRM) was only faster than AVX copy or general-use register copy if the block size is at least 256 bytes. For the blocks below 64 bytes, it was much slower, because there is a high internal startup in ERMSB - about 35 cycles. The FSRM feature intended blocks before 128 bytes also be quick.

Not N2, no. There is not plant anywhere in the world that uses atmospheric N2. Plants used fixed nitrogen from the soil. In Martian greenhouses, that would be provided in the form of artificial fertilizer and/or organic waste.

Frankly, this whole exercise of "don't trust the cloud host" is pretty dumb. Flaws in chipset vendor products and new avenues of fuckery will continue to to be found.

Expecting that you can trust a computer you've never even seen, let alone one you *know* is a VM with a whole other untrusted OS under it, is a fool's errand.

If you need this level of trust, you should be on-prem. No excuses.
