I always think of Tom & Ray's in Damascus, MD as being the most legit Maryland fried chicken I've had. Granted, it's also the only place I'd ever heard the term until today. :-)

(I gather T&R recently changed ownership so I don't really know what its current status is or whether its fried chicken is precisely as legendary as this 90s kid remembers.)
Is this not also true for many sporting or competitive pursuits that are also effectively zero sum? For sports I suppose one could argue there are benefits to exercise and for other competitive games with professionals like chess there are mental benefits from getting good at them.

However, neither seem particularly "productive" outside of all the money that is funneled into events for marketing purposes. There is, of course, perhaps some inherent aesthetic and community building around a common interest that is valuable, but I'd argue that the same is true for poker - I personally find the game of no limit hold'em interesting from a theoretical perspective and have met a lot of people that I would not have otherwise through playing it.

Poker doesn't seem that much different to other abstracted competitive pursuits to me besides that it has a larger luck factor to it.
that's not an argument it's an emotional appeal

And also commutative, if I remember my math right, so you can traverse them in both directions. Punning on the word ring (which is a math concept too, as in groups, rings and fields, and stretching the metaphor too, or is it a mixed metaphor? Heh.

I'm in my 40s and my current sense of purpose comes mostly from wanting to help my child learn and grow, along with volunteering for the wellbeing of the local community. Prior to that I taught math and science, hoping to increase student literacy in those areas, at least to demystify.
I spent a lot of time and effort on videogames, time I would rather have spent volunteering, reading more broadly, and exercising (reserving some game time with friends, and far less solo).

I enjoy talking with other people and sometimes working with them, too. Why do you want to work in IT? What drives you?
For this, I will refer you to the O-ring Theory of Economic Development https://www.jstor.org/stable/2118400
Good point. I didn't think about that.
Honda dirtbikes were almost exclusively 10mm, which was handy, because you can carry a very limited set of tools/parts and fix basically everything aside from running out of gas.

That would go about as well as trying to convince him of the benefits of Scientology. Most people, once they recognize a harmful ideology masquerading as a benign one, aren't likely to be convinced otherwise.

As a non-developer, the whole situation with a bad software update to the Voyager spacecraft really puts things into perspective as far as how bad remote updates can be.

It’s also a testament to the way that the system was designed that they were able to get it back online.
>How much is this monthly premium? We are talking about 50USD, 500USD, more?

Depends on who you are, where you are, who you're employed by, the ability of your employer to negotiate a deal, the willingness of your employer to provide "Cadillac" coverage to their workforce, and how much secret data broker information the insurance cartel has specifically on you and your prior medical conditions.

The thing about healthcare in America is that everything is unregulated and completely opaque. Prices are impossible to find at time of use, impossible to negotiate, and for most customers facing a medical catastrophe they will be both "unconscious" and "out of network". If you have a serious out of network emergency that your dodgy insurance doesn't cover you could be up for anywhere between $50k and several million dollars and filing for bankruptcy the day you leave the hospital.

If I had a very serious car crash with a helicopter evacuation and a lengthy hospital stay due to a spinal injury, a million might not cover it.
Oh that is indeed a very nasty business practice. I agree. Wasn't aware of that.
I use it for rss feeds, it really follows how likely it is for a feed to return. Checking every day was slowing things down.

Friend of mine did this in the heyday. He’d have, like a dozen games going. Hunting and playing “soft players” (as the GP calls them).

I don’t know how long he played, he certainly didn’t mention a grind as described here.

But, he netted enough to buy his then new $30k Lexus.

A lucrative hobby if nothing else.

They aren't comparable metrics. Revenue doesn't represent value added. I can sell a $20 bill for $20, my revenue is $20 but there is no impact on GDP (nothing has been created, no value has been added). Do that enough times and you too can have revenue equaling that of a small country.
I agree going with brands you trust is the best solution. Discovering new, quality stuff will remain a problem. And really anything Youtube tries to do will get gamified by content creators trying to turn a quick buck.
For statements like, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," sure. Lewis' point is that he made all kinds of other claims that are either true or false. And if they are false, they are false in a way that led to lots of people dying for no reason. So Jesus was either saying those things that led to all his followers being killed either because he was crazy and believed what he said, because he was a liar and evil, or because he was telling the truth and good.
There is no reason to have encryption on the ham bands.
A co-author of this study actually mentions this in the article. It is definitely being looked into.

The problem is that once you start asking algorithm questions for top tech companies people will optimize for knowing them deeply instead of exploring other fields of CS.

This is what happens with Codedorces/ACM-ICPC. Suddenly everyone is hyper driven to crank them out day after day under pressure and much more interesting fields databases or turning a business idea into a usable app get neglected.

Lets not fool ourselves no one is going to solve hard medium LC under time pressure in 30 minutes unless they’ve seen a similar problem before which leads to hiring worse engineers who pass interviews.

Once a metric becomes the goal it ceases to be a good metric.
my point has very little to do with process

it seems to me that you're arguing back that SBOMs are just a list, so how can it be a big deal?

my point is an issue about the whole reality of needing SBOMs. clearly they have something to do with supply chain trust. but I think your perspective is focused too closely on the engineering aspects of the problem.

I find that the technical realities (all of which I understand to be, in the end, some kind of engineering decision) that motivate having to share vulnerabilities of all components without revealing their designs sources (of either software, hardware, both, or neither) to be morally dubious.

so keeping in mind that hardware, by this point, is stored as code so it's code, and software also has a source code, I find it necessary by this point to open source all the things!!1!
Why? Amateur radio is supposed to be an open spectrum for people to communicate and experiment on, not provide services on.

If you need to privately communicate, use the ISM bands, don't consume the amateur experimentation bands.
I loved poker but it was too all-encompassing for me. I fairly quickly noticed there was just nothing much else going anywhere in my life. I was still getting better at poker, but not at the same rate as when I started, and I wasn't learning or making or consuming anything else.

I really did love it. But I really couldn't imagine not learning anything else.

I think video game streaming is the same. Not much room left for yourself.

The Y2K moment for the new generation.
Where I work we use Artifactory as a proxy and a private package hosting service. It works great but it could be better.

Especially when it comes to flat downloads with no underlying package manager like Yocto/Bitbake and some are just terrible to setup like NugGets. The fact is, most languages or frameworks were just not designed with private repositories in mind. This is made worse when you have to make these private repositories integrate with non-developer environments like a CI worker node or a BitBake recipe.

BitBake has a flat cache for downloads and binary builds and you can setup remote caches online for example and it works great. There is a dire need for some kind of universal caching protocol. Downloading files addressed by content through a proxy should be trivial and universal.
The stuff we actually use does, though, like GPS and surface tension and anti-coagulants. The replication crisis is mostly an issue on the cutting edge.
I've only seen them toss the results off as proof of placebo, but they don't seem to interested in determining if the "trip" teaches the patient something that they take along with them for at least a while. Perhaps temporarily learning how to connect with a part of the brain that is normally off limits to them.

So, maybe it's not medicinal. It might be more instructive.
My insistence on only driving cars made prior to 2005 keeps making more and more sense.

Oh, I see. Thank you for kindly pointing it out.

I quickly closed the page when I realized the article needs some sort of membership to read, that's likely how I missed this.

I'm less sympathetic with companies, but what I said still applies somewhat. This is a Civitai problem, not a Civitai investor problem.
It should be 63835596800 (63.8 billion) because it was kind of self-centred to start counting from 1970 instead of year 1. It doesn't make sense to make memorizing a 4 digit number a prerequisite to becoming a programmer.

But I do do the following sort of thing in Python:

Where C(...) gives us the same object but with some methods added to it as you can see
So context doesn't matter? And they're to blindly trust you? Because you said so [1]? Because they've never been screwed by an interviewer before? My sense is, you don't get out enough (i.e., be the candidate).

I hope the next time you do an interview the candidate asks, "Why should I trust you?" or "When was the last time you were the interviewee?"

[1] That's not how trust works. It is, by definition, earned.
"A particularly damaging batch of fraudulent notices targeted more than 35,000 URLs operated by a Google customer that spends tens of millions of dollars per year on Google search ads. The effect was a significant drop in traffic during the holiday season, revenue losses for the customer and its sellers of $5 million, and a loss to Google of between $2 and $3 million." So you'd think the competitor firms could certainly sue also, if they were so inclined.
Yea, I agree on the whole. It seems like there's a lot of potential in the space. But I also recognize that as you lower the barrier to entry to the few quality creators, the barrier is also lowered to the masses who either have no sense of quality control, or worse are just trying to maximize their ad revenue.

I can choose not to watch this stuff, but I think if it starts to trickle too much into the content I want to watch it just won't be worth the effort of trying to weed low quality junk out.

This is an entirely separate argument. My problem with Russell is that he reads the gospels and concludes that Jesus was a great moral teacher which is not one of the conclusions you can draw, no matter what you think of the reliability of the text or the events it describes.
I have a WD Black 1TB drive that did service as my main desktop drive for about 6 or 7 years.

After that it went into my server at home. It was used for various things. At this point it’s spent the last 5 years as the disk my DVR records to. (Because 5 years ago I was expecting it to die any day and didn’t want anything more important on it…) So it’s being continuously written and rewritten 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It’s now about 17 years old and has spent almost the entirety of that time powered on. It’s been packed up and sent on two cross country moves. Still kicking.

I have a number of WD Green 1.5TB drives that are nearly as old and still in daily use in the same server.

Maybe I’ve just had great luck, but I’d be more surprised by a drive dying sooner than eight years.
I want to use this opportunity to flog one of my favorite topics: whether or not to store epoch time using variable-length numbers in protobuf.

TL;DR: never do this

If you are storing the epoch offset in seconds, you could store it as int32 or fixed32 (assuming the range is adequate for your application). But int32 will need 5 bytes, while the fixed32 field would only use 4. So you never save space and always spend time using int32.

Similarly, if you are storing the offset as nanoseconds, never use int64. Except for a few years on either side of the epoch, the offset is always optimal in a fixed64. int64 will tend to be 9 bytes. Fixed64 nanoseconds has adequate range for most applications.

You'll note that the "well-known" google.protobuf.Timestamp message commits both of these errors. It stores the seconds part as a varint, which will usually be at least 5 bytes when it could have been 4, and it stores the nanoseconds separately in an int32, even though this is more or less an RNG and is virtually guaranteed to need 5 bytes, if present. So nobody should use that protobuf.

Thus ends this episode of my irregular advice on how to represent the time.
Nice.

Would type-inference also "screw up the semantics"? My understanding is that this generally operates via some kind of constraints solving.
By what would the lunatic ground their thinking? From one angle, I can respect your argument as in a case where someone opines "Wow, look at Crazy Pete. He sure is crazy but he's nice to animals. Maybe I should be nice to animals too, like he is!"

In the case of Jesus, he told his followers to eat him (John 6). Potentially normal lunatic stuff...when they were like "whoa wtf bro" he doubled down and kept using a word which describes teeth tearing and chewing. I don't find cannibalism to be highly moral (since it usually involves murder) so shouldn't that disqualify Jesus from being a lunatic but also a good moral teacher?
I would stipulate that the value wasn't "beating GPT-4" but actually "look, just because you can beat GPT-4, doesn't mean you actually delivered value" - and that is pretty important to say
That’s how things used to be and it resulted in lots of long standing bugs because the update rates were low, and so manufacturers didn’t push updates. Many people don’t live near dealers or service centers or can afford the continued cost (it’s not free usually unless it’s a recall)

OTA is better for consumer when done properly. Other manufacturers manage it fine, and one bad example shouldn’t be what we base things on. It’s what we should learn from and improve on.

No. Unfortunately this is something they’re philosophically against as they feel you should just build from source if you need it. They’re worried it could undermine the spirit of the GPL if people were sharing compiled plugins instead
Seconded. You can still have a requirement to ID in the clear if you want, but all other modern radio systems are encrypted and any interesting protocols will be largely indistinguishable from encryption from a regulatory point of view. Ham radio is first and foremost for experimentation, not ragchew, and there's no point maintaining a radio service that is fundamentally crippled.
Yes, if you don’t run the type-checker regularly and just run the code itself, there’s nothing preventing them from going out of sync. Type hints are similar to tests in that way.

Also Bertrand Russell: "Only within the scaffolding of [nihilism], only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair, can the soul’s habitation henceforth be safely built."

I could not disagree more with a lot of this man's philosophies, but at least he seems to be earnest in his convictions. In my experience from observing close friends, embracing nihilism breeds depression and mental illness more often than not.
You're arguing against urban policies in cities from the point of view of rural areas. Nobody's trying to make remote villages walkable.

I definitely felt this on a recent trip to Tokyo. Instinctively I'd walk up to a counter to order my meal but then would be pointed to a large touch screen at the entrance of the restaurant.

I suspect Python is particularly bad in this regard. For example, PHP's gradual typing is enforced with runtime assertions.

Lock files are only one part of the solution. Even with a lock file dependencies need to be fetched from somewhere and if a particular version of a package was deleted by its author then you're back to case one.

"People don't run Cargo update willy nilly."

We don't know the same people then. Most devs like to keep their stuff up to date. Auditing the dependencies tree before updating a lock file is like reading a ToS. Most people don't even if they should.The problem of securing the chain of production is not solved with a simple lock file.
Eh, this is only up for question in non-academic debate. Virtually all academics regardless of their position have moved beyond this, sounds like you're working with 80s and 90s talking points still. We have Roman, Jewish, and other contemporaries who have written either directly of Jesus or have spoken of the events that occurred in such a way that it's really no point arguing against the existence of the person named Jesus.

I have a friend who got into poker in the 90s. He did a lot of studying and practicing at home, then took a bus down to Atlantic City to try his luck, goal was to pay for a ticket back.

He ended up making a lot more money than that (more than he’d ever made in a paycheck up to that point!), but half of it was from a guy with more teeth out of his possession than in his possession. Most of his opponents were irrational addicts fighting personal demons.

In the end, he decided gambling wasn’t for him, never went back to Atlantic City.

Zero sum games are really depressing.
Honest question: are the authors tactically baiting the masses and thereby diverting attention from more difficult to answer questions like budget (at the expense of gender equality), or are they really this crude, nothing deeper?
