I'd say that you already leave the Overton window but merely pretend that you don't.

It just makes it harder to have a frank discussion because you leave it to the other side to name the group for you. If you argue in bad faith you can even pretend that they brought it up, not you.

I find it disingenuous all around. Like I said, it became ubiquitous in the local debate since the Hamas attacks.

I use Firefox and uBO and I had it trigger about 4 times now. I go and manually pull the uBO "Quick Fixes" list and still it triggers for me.

Recently it has stopped triggering again though. I have no idea why.
If you’re storing time zone info for a transaction in the database instead of storing it as epoch time, you’re probably doing it wrong. Time zone is a user-level presentation layer issue. Keep that junk out of the backend. Imagine writing code to reconcile financial transactions that also had to deal with time zone offsets to figure out if one transaction happened before another. So much extra complexity for no reason. I don’t know where you’ve been doing this or where you got this idea, but it’s most definitely not common or advisable to store TZ info on transactions anywhere I’ve worked in my couple of decades at some very large software companies. TZ info is usually stored with a user account as a preference that they can update, or it’s detected from their browser during presentation time, because that’s when it matters — when you’re showing it to a human. Having machines calculate TZ offsets between database records is asinine, inefficient, and a great way to introduce an entire domain of bugs for absolutely no reason.
I used victor mono as primary font everywhere (vscode, idea, terminal) for very long time, and disagree with your opinion of its readability. It successfully replaced Fira Code to me. Anecdotal evidence, of course, but I want to counter the authoritative tone of your comment.

Although I’m using Iosevka now, Victor Mono was reliable work horse for me for very long time.

I found that font through coding font tournament style selector (codingfont.com).

I may miss some, but my history was
Courier New - Consolas - Dejavu Sans Mono - Anonymous Pro - Azeret Mono - Fira Code - Victor Mono - Iosevka - Iosevka Slab, and if I will decide to go back, Victor Mono is going to be first choice
Have a portfolio presence online somewhere, or figure out a way to demo your side projects. Fill out your linkedin profile with as many details as possible. Try to get endorsements from your peers for the various skills you use at work. If your GPA was solid, then list that on your resume and say your degree is still in progress. Apply to smaller companies that may be more willing to overlook these requirements. Compare your resume to that of your peers or others you find online and look for anything you forgot to add. You should still have a plan for finishing your degree because it's still no too late. I didn't finish my degree until I was 26 and I'm currently in my 40s working as a Principal Engineer.

2800k LEDs are not filtered white light afaik.

A bit of background for those who may not be aware, white LEDs are UV LEDs with a white light emitting phosphor. I suspect 2800 K LEDs are a UV LED with a 2800 K light-emitting phosphor.
Disengenuous in the extreme. If AI is just matrix multiplication, than a nuke is just lots of light emitted at once.
The junk fee legislation seems like a great way to make companies waste millions of dollars in resources rebuilding their backend systems just to result in the exact same fees being rolled into the remaining SKUs or charged to more customers than necessary.
If I’m reading the article correctly: some products such as some rodent toxins contain levels of vitamin D3 which are dangerous to humans. Under the new regulation, they will start getting warning labels to this effect. Meanwhile other government authorities are worried that this will make people scared of vitamin D. This is a problem, because vitamin D deficiency is itself a big health issue in Europe.
The conclusion of "GPT-4 can't even compete against low-quality human effort like that found on MTurk" seems alright. The article would be better if it didn't claim to compare "humans", because it doesn't – or at least, not in the common sense definition of "comparing humans vs GPT-4". But to be honest I think that's a bit pedantic.

It would be different if it had found that GPT-4 outperformed MTurk, but if GPT-4 can't compete against MTurk on these tasks, then I don't think it will fare better against you or me with our full attention.
I think for low level functionality, unit tests and integration tests are the same thing. As an absurd example, consider a function that’s adds two numbers together producing a result.

My pet conspiracy theory is that unlimited PTO keeps vacation time off the company books as personal time off shows up as a liability. They know people take less or about the same amount of time off either way.
The initial roll out of USB mice was on 125Hz polling interval. The PS/2 mice were faster at first because they sent the signal immediately with no delay.

You can easily see the difference - with 125Hz it's impossible to draw a good circle with a mouse since it will always draw short straight lines

I mean no ill intent, I genuinely have no idea what you're arguing towards. You repeatedly claim dogma and even toxicity (!) where I can find no evidence of either -- that certainly doesn't feel like good faith to me. It feels like FUD.
Berlin just does it worse, even though it has greater challenges that explain it.
And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not open source. It's source visible/available software, which has been a thing for ages. Old school forum scripts like vBulletin, Invision Power Board, XenForo and WoltLab run on this very model. As does about 90% of proprietary CMS software in general.

The problem is that a lot of companies seem to want to have their cake and eat it; they want the public contributions and kudos from making open source software, while treating it like proprietary software where the source is (maybe) available to end users.
It resolves the issue of killing productivity and making most people feel miserable.
> The other change is my shift of focus back to Lisp, the programming language I love most and know best.

Part of this is that Replit is for people who want to get things done, but are intimidated by JetBrains's IDEs. Lisp is a language nerd's language. So really, you're not the target customer.

> chromeOS lifestyle

Maybe I'm out-of-touch, but I assumed Lisp hackers would be on something beefier. Yes, it's a "linux" laptop, but it'll be an uphill battle. I expected either a Linux Thinkpad or Framework, maybe Mac OS on a Macbook.

I actually looked into ChromeOS for my grandma. She basically just browses the web, uses gmail, and plays Freecell, but the app situation made Freecell a non-starter.
There are solutions to wifi using an ethernet bridge device (not ideal). Windows 11 can still do WoL, so I'm unsure what the other comment is about.

They probably haven't a clue how ferocious a cat really is as well as how incredibly strong a cat hopped up on adrenaline is. My own most impressive encounter with a cat was one that had to go to the vet and wouldn't go into the transport carrier. I finally managed to get it in and it simply shredded it's way out the bottom leaving me looking pretty silly with an empty carrier in my hand and a very much pissed off cat sitting in its accustomed spot on the window sill. I didn't go for a second try and told my aunt (whose cat it was) that maybe the cat wasn't going to go to the vet that day after all and whether she would consider asking them for a house call.

The carrier was well beyond repair. It was some kind of tick nylon weave and I'm pretty sure it would have been hard to cut with scissors.
> To me it is clear that the Python maintainers behind this deprecation have a problem with naive datetimes and are using this supposed problem as an excuse to cripple them.

I am not a python maintainer, and I also use naive datetimes a lot, and I can absolutely understand the maintainers rationale behind this.

Let me explain.

What's a "naive datetime" suposed to be conceptually? There is no such thing. Datetimes only make sense in the context of a timezone. UTC is just another timezone, with an UTC-Offset of +0

So why do we have this strange thing that may be a UTC timestamp, or a local timestamp, or god knows what in the first place? It makes sense as an implementation detail of the datetime library to have timezones as separate objects, but for consumers of that library? It can cause confusion, and hard to track bugs, when suddenly one of the functions that accept aware or naive is used and spits out something completely unexpected.

I have spent many an hour tracking bugs, where systems spat out complete nonsense timestamps, only to discover that the reason they do that, is a mixed usage of aware and naive dateteime objects.

In my opinion, making explicit use of aware datetime the norm as much as possible, is a good thing. And removing prominently named functions that spit out naive ones, is a good first step.

Let's look at the listed usecases:

> An application may be designed in such a way that all dates and times are in a single timezone that is known in advance.

Okay...so put that TZ info somewhere it's easy to find, like a configuration Singleton, and use it.

> It is also a best practice to store naive datetimes representing UTC in databases.

Okay...read them from, and into datetime objects using UTC as their timezone information.

The bottom line is: There shouldn't be "naive" datetime objects, or at least they shouldn't be a common thing. Conceptually, datetimes always have a timezone attached, they are worthless without one.

I disagree, there are great offerings out there. Open stack has stagnated a bit as things have radically shifted to the cloud, but it's still a good scalable and supported option. VMware also can get you pretty far. You can also go hybrid, and have the elastic scalability of cloud with the low cost of on-prem. Products like OpenShift can make this seamless to developers, and easy to manage and maintain.
Nowadays, places where it isn't a scam will have an annual minimum as in you must take at least 2-4 weeks of vacation a year.

The super legit places will actually account for the liability on their books and pay out at the end of the fiscal year if for some reason you never took the minimums, which gives middle management no choice but to acquiesce or budget for it.
Yes, it's a way for employers to avoid compensating employees for unused vacation days on termination.

Lindemayer's book (The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants) claims L-systems are not CFGs because all expansions to a non-terminal are applied simultaneously, rather than sequentially. Having played around with simple l-systems, the claim holds some water. No time to go into details now but I can give some examples later if requested.
It's only a scam if you guilt yourself into working. I very much so enjoyed having unlimited PTO at my last job. A week off for a music festival every month through summer? Sign me up.

That said, we did have discussions about implementing a forced minimum time off that people were required to take in an attempt to eliminate the issue you're describing. Some people seem to need to be told to take the time off.
Obvious manipulation by microsoft. Its like 1999 again
> Once that threshold is jumped, things can move very quickly

You can see the same dynamic in how scandals unfold in small towns. Everybody knows that married person X is having an affair with married person Y, everybody knows that everybody knows that X is having an affair with Y, but nothing happens until a social consensus is reached that X and Y are going to be shamed for it. It can go on indefinitely with people only whispering about it. And then everything happens seemingly all at once. X loses their job, Y has to resign from the school board, X's marriage breaks up, Y's children get shunned at school.

Before the threshold is reached, people whisper about it, but anyone who speaks too loudly or disapproves too publicly is seen as acting in bad taste. People cringe and turn away from them. Nobody wants to be that person. But as soon as the dam breaks, condemning X and Y becomes the town sport, pursued recreationally by all and competitively by many.
Note that the parent poster was referring to unit AI, not enemy AI. Units can do a lot more with a single command compared to something like StarCraft and StarCraft II, which forces you to do much more heavy micro (because your units will pretty much walk in a straight line to their goal, not attack unless they're A-walking, and then stand in a single place without moving as they attack). APM is not as important a factor in TA-heritage games, and many Spring games go to great lengths to reduce APM as much as possible, by doing things like automating "dancing".

> AI could one day destroy humanity

It's already begun. Children use it to do their homework. No more learning the old fashion way. Schools need to change they way they teach, are very slow to adapt and there is not even a good proven schooling model to copy/adapt. At least a generation will be doomed and that generation will make poor teachers for the next one.

It happend way too fast.
I’m not harsh towards the creator of the game, this is more a critique of llms in general. Asking an llm for steps for something impossible will force it to give a result that is physically absurd. It’s certainly not an issue if you’re using them as a tool, but in a game like this is gives “faulty” results.
The naive time thing in python really is (was) a nightmare. I once noticed that a db library we use when storing a timestamp in the db would calculate that timestamp from 1970-01-01 00:00:00 at _local time_ instead of utc and had to patch that to make sure we never store a wrong timestamp in our db (luckily all our production servers run on UTC as the local timezone).

Glad that it's finally being addressed at the language level.
Unfortunately one can't reconstitute minutes saved here and there into long blocks of time that can be used later. That limits the practical impact of these sorts of commute comparisons and other time-wasting activities that we all do.
I have never seen any websites host more malware than Office365 and Google Drive.

Blocking THOSE two domains would likely resolve half the malware issues on the web, create a temporary flurry of confusion, and then accidentally solve the other half as people are forced to understand what saving files to a cloud actually entails.
Yes it is a scam. When you leave the company they won't have to pay for your accrued vacation days. You can't take a 3 month sabbatical unless you are truly exceptional and if that's the case you're likely underpaid.

Edit: I'm referring to the US with my comment
For what it's worth, the only state in the United States which agrees with your philosophy is Texas. Every other state requires an imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm to justify the use of lethal force. (And honestly, Texas only holds that position because of its huge size and ranching background, where cattle rustling stood a major risk to the state's economy.)

>Everyone knows the barrier to terrorists using bio weapons is not specialist knowledge, but access to labs, equipment, reagents etc.

An LLM could help you get that access, or help you make do without it.

>It's the whole Guttenberg's printing press argument. "Whoaa hold on now, what do you mean you want knowledge to be freely available to the vulgar masses?"

We're fortunate that intelligent, educated people typically don't choose to become terrorists and criminals.

Every generation of improved LLMs has the potential to expand the set of people who could construct bioweapons.

It's true that technology is typically good and beneficial, but beware the parable of the turkey: https://www.forbes.com/sites/hillennevins/2021/11/24/the-par...

A Thanksgiving turkey could have a wonderful life until late November when it gets slaughtered out of the blue. We can't just count on trends to continue indefinitely -- a famous example would be the 2008 financial crisis, before which people assumed that "housing prices always go up".

It's just common sense to forecast the possibility of extreme risks and think about how to mitigate them. And yes, I favor across the board restrictions on information deemed sensitive. But people publishing open source LLMs should have an obligation to show that what they're releasing will not increase the likelihood of catastrophic risks.

I suspect this has to do with how shallowly people even regard their fellow man. To the point that if the outputs of an entity parrot humans well enough then, well, there couldn't be any differences whatsoever, and it must bear all the titles which we gift to humans.

My only other method for dealing with it is alternate ways of getting warmer. When I don't want to turn the space heater on, sometimes I'll fill up a hot water bottle and put it under my feet. Warming the blood up there is reasonably effective at warming up my whole body and thus my fingers.

Maybe a heated desk pad, or some other kind of keyboard heater?

Exactly. The innovation was in belief that the theoretical could also be real, that the equations could be trusted. Just as with Maxwell predicting the speed of light or Darwin studying birds—these scientists had the courage to firmly state the conclusion implied by their work.

Can you elaborate on what this has to do with the #MeToo movement?
Nice assumption. I have been in a fight with a cat. The only reason it's not dead is because you don't seriously fight with a cat. You just defend and get the cat or yourself out of the situation. I had a ton of superficial cuts with a lot of blood but it was all superficial. They can only seriously damage the eyes. I just went to the doctor got a rabies shot with like 3 follow ups, some medication and an ointment and that was it.

Then they put the deluge system on a priority list with 10,000 other things that had to get done before the first flight and did what needed to be done, but likely skipped over the nice to haves, knowing they could always come back to them.

For all you know building the deluge system for flight one may have delayed them x months, and they simply decided to take the risk because they needed the political capital of a visible launch attempt to even keep the program alive.
