The server is typically not a retained-mode kind of abstraction. Incremental view maintenance in retained-mode MVC systems is the main source of bugs. If you render the view from scratch on every request, it's more similar to React style immediate-mode UI than something like UIKit where you end up handling many UI events and keeping little bits of the UI up-to-date with model changes incrementally.

I can download a movie for free, or I can spring $20-30 for the DVD, then sit through forced FBI warnings, then previews, etc. when I really just wanted to watch a damn movie.

They shifted the burden to the consumer (time wasted) and in a world with piracy, good luck with that model.

For now. And why do you copy and paste this comment?
This really gives off to me the same vibes as when doctors were up in arms that washing hands before surgery couldn’t possibly have an effect on the outcome.

We know that such viruses have to enter your body through eyes, ears, nose or throat or there’s no way to get an infection. Why do you think it’s so surprising that blocking access to your respiratory system by a filter that is small enough to exclude the virus (whether cold, flu or COVID) prevents you from getting sick?

Furthermore, if I recall correctly there’s studies showing efficacy of having even a basic cloth covering helps because the thickness of the material means that even if the virus is small enough to get through, the probability of crossing all the layers through the cloth is harder. Picking up illness from contact with a surface -> touching your face is a much more difficult infection vector than the direct access port available through the communication ports on your head.
I have a whole story setting idea where a city requires permits for everything, including dying. You didn't fill out your death certificate? Sorry, you don't get to die.

I'm just not sure what the PCs would do in that setting, what "problem" there would be for them to solve.
Always seemed a shame to me that megacities didn't lean into Mail Rail-style[1] logistics. Arterials of goods from depots outside, feeding into local hubs within the city via light rail or narrow-gauge and then last-mile dispatch via small vehicle, bikes etc from there. So there are sort of "wellsprings" of supply throughout the city. In my factory-builder-rotted mind's eye some kind of semi-automated AS/RS kind of system shuttling small-ish containers like those that go into planes now onto and off trains.

Of all the things to wish to automate away, driving 40 tonne vehicles with notoriously poor sightlines (though they have imposed safety minimums in London[2], but not after many, many deaths), often with steering wheels on the wrong side, down urban roads seems one of the better ones.

Probably not until interest rates come down or plateau for a long time at the least.

Arguably this layoff was more because of the merger though and less because of the economy at broad.
I interviewed there a few weeks ago. They mentioned the pending acquisition, and said they had been trying to fill as many positions as possible before that event. They would continue interviewing candidates, but if they wanted to make an offer, that offer would have to wait until after the acquisition completed.

I found a job elsewhere in the meantime, so it's not relevant to me anymore.

No, it doesn’t. The question is “what is the largest non-trivial number you can represent with some constraint on size of its expression”. It’s a really old question, and saying “infinity” as an answer misses the point. Saying you can invent an arbitrary number system also misses the point by simply not answering. If you need to spend a bunch of bytes explaining your new system, did you really use 8 bytes?

It just feels really bad faith.
I think zlib/gzip still has its place these days. It's still a decent choice for most use cases. If you don't know what usage patterns your program will see, zlib still might be a good choice. Plus, it's supported virtually everywhere, which makes it interesting for long-term storage. Often, using one of the modern alternatives is not worth the hassle.
All the court costs for litigating copyright issues are explicitly costs, the lack of creativity from people not being able to use previously created media an implicit cost.

I hate twitter , and a lot, specially before Musk, however it is insane to see some people just starting to complain.

Only when finally those who disagree politically with them have a crumb of a voice.

The place was always horrible problem is this people had an elite of horrible "journalists" being yes men and secluding them from divergent voices.
I imagine TV advertisements are an entirely different beast. I'd suppose it's much more difficult to fill TV airtime because the barrier to creating a good TV advertisement is so high. And the expected revenue was probably pre-priced in, and also there's very limited airtime so why run something that isn't performing as well as something else could?

Whereas, Twitter is infinite, and theoretical advertising is unlimited. Additionally, the barrier to a Twitter ad is much less. Just speculating, though.
Boy this is so different than the MMA accusations against X. The WSJ fully reported on their methodology, gave Meta months to change, and partnered with a third party to verify the results. The advertiser responses to their ads showing next to arguably much more objectional content here are quite different.
Even if it were true though, look at Amazon Workspaces prices. 4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, 10GB of user storage and 80GB of root volume storage, $876/yr.

I think you can get a 4-core laptop with 16GB of RAM for $876 + $195 for the client, and afford to lose it at these prices; unless somehow your turnover rate is obscene; or you are an industry with extremely high security needs.

X is the best social media platform out there at this point. What are the alternatives? Meta's Facebook, Instagram? TikTok? It's just bollocks. X is where a lot of interesting people post, and where freedom of speech is the most upheld. Community notes is also a super interesting aspect. It's not X's fault someone follows nazis or whatever and don't know where the mute / block buttons are.
My first impression is that yes, the circuit would complete.

Keep in mind that the metal has both negatively charged electrons which are reasonably free to move around within the metal and positively charged protons that are generally in the nuclei which are fairly fixed within the metal.

If you have the metal belt moving so that the electrons are not actually moving (from the point of view of a stationary observer outside the belt) that observer would see the protons moving.

You've still got, from the outside observer's point of view, a current. It just is now a proton current instead of an electron current.
That's illegal in the US [1] and it's just the same in Europe. You can't go and withhold payment for work done - what you can do is file a claim in small claims or civil court, depending on the worth of the laptop.

I truly wonder how much time and money big corporations waste with these week to month long processes of rating an employee on perceived impact of work. People say it is complicated, but clearly it isn’t.
My initial reflex reaction is to think the same: however, when I consider what the process would be, I can see a lot of large businesses just not seeing it being worth it to track down and retrieve company hardware from an employee who left under negative circumstances. Most laptops, especially issued to lower rungs of employees, aren't new, and even when they were, weren't high-end machines to begin with: they're probably the bottom tier really, whatever Dell or HP were selling at clearance prices when IT had extra budget.

So let's pick a number out of a hat and say a laptop was $500 new, and for the sake of argument, let's say it was brand new when issued to a problematic remote employee several states away. This employee eventually gets canned for bad performance and doesn't ever ship back the computer: now what? Well, you have to spool up your legal division and arrange for a certified mail letter to let the employee know of their obligation, and see that it's delivered so the employee can't claim later they were never told. Then, you'd probably have to arrange for some company representative to actually go there and attempt to recover it in person, for similar reasons. If that doesn't work (and IANAL so this is just theory) you'd end up either involving their local law enforcement and probably your own to recover stolen property, OR going to small claims court against the employee. You'd have to have paper work in order showing when the laptop was purchased, what it's worth now to recover, and it's probably an open and shut case really to get it done, but then... you get a laptop back, or the cash value of it which is probably nowhere near what the company paid for it, and if it was sold off or junked or otherwise ruined and you DO get a cash settlement from court, well, now you have to COLLECT that which is it's own can of worms, especially if this employee is really pissed off with your organization.

Every step along this involves your legal team, which consists at least partially of lawyers, who are expensive to have work on it. This will be labor intensive, not step by step but over the long haul: instead of a big job, it's tons and tons of little small annoying ones.

AND: If the employee wants and I can't think of why they wouldn't, they could easily go to the media and vilify you for shit-canning them and then suing them. And sure, the facts of that would be obviously vindicating, but how many people read past headlines? Corporations fucking over working people is (rightly) hot news lately.

So like, yeah that sounds high, I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't that high. But also I wouldn't be shocked if faced with all the fuckabout to get a shitty laptop back from an ex-call center worker or whatever, most companies just don't give a fuck and write it off like they would any other lost asset.
What I like about wearing a mask on a plane is that I rebreathe some exhaled moisture.

Though I did a flight in mid 2020 and I'd inhale, move mask, take bite/sip, exhale while putting mask back, and then breathe normally through mask. Was probably a bit unnecessary when the flights were basically empty, but reduced-risk eating/drinking is possible.
He was on Netanyahu's podcast earlier.
The Shinkansen pitches itself as broadly price competitive with flights, but more convenient and more comfortable. In that sense it’s not expensive, it’s greater value.
That's a great idea. But instead of using AI to generate it, you should write it yourself while trying to sound like you're an AI.

Then get into arguments in the comments about how you really are a machine.
Thanks! There's probably another article on the trade-offs between 6 and the other items.

Item 6 jumped out to me because many people would interpret it as waterfall process which doesn't appear to be what you are trying to encourage.

I liked how you put things in your article.

Aside: my personal definition of good engineering is making the right compromises.
I was wondering about that after asking my question, since converting the signal to an x/y scope requires trigonometry. Probably a challenge to do electronically in the early days of radar. Leave it to the WW2-era engineers to find an electromechanical solution!

Hollywood Franchises Must 'Take a Breather and Let Audiences Get Excited Again'
"Cause of death" is pretty clear.

Your theory is trivially debunkable by the numbers in the table.

The individual casues of death on in 2022 sum up to 334,121. The total number of deaths for the year is indicated as 334,081. If they're double/triple-counting ailments, they wouldn't match up. (I preusme the mismatch of ~40 is a typo or something in one of the rows.)
I think a better example might be a similar era john deere tractor. It was designed to replace expensive human labor and was designed to be simple and to be fixed.

I also wonder about the original humvee, which I think was designed to be "user" serviced in the field.
Shadow DOM was a mistake. It's a 0.1 version that was unfortunately pushed out as a completed standard. Basic stuff is missing like your link. The entire thing should be deprecated and we should start from scratch.

Then she should be off of all social media, rather than joining into a different sewer location.

It always has been for decades, long before Musk bought the company, but again hundreds of millions still use the platform after all the nonsensical predictions of complete shutdown one year ago and the continuing active campaigns to bring it down.

There are much more larger global sewers such as Instagram and TikTok that who's algorithms are much worse than Twitter / X, so let us not believe that this 'global sewage' is exclusive to Twitter / X and especially the words of someone who still needs to clean up their own city.
Soldered connections are a no go in automotive. Crimped is way tougher for vibrations. Corrosion shouldn't be getting in with heat shrink or a good connector.
I'm actually a bit disappointed they didn't implement this as a laptop (or plan to?).

I think one interesting aspect of VR is the possibility of it being a thin client to general purpose office computing. And also a great (terrible) way for companies to keep track of remote worker attention.
It's interesting that you are counting how many lambda calculus terms can fit into 64 bits given a particular encoding, but you're not making room in the 64 bits for an explanation of how your encoding works (let alone how lambda calculus works!). Of course, any encoding you used to include an "explanation" in the 64 bits would itself require some explanation. I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm not sure that your approach is any less arbitrary than any other approach.
You are not the target audience. The lower 99% of users do not know how to right justify text. For them, the "community support" is valuable.

I don't deny that AI could take over that role soon
Well, the effort required to get a laptop back from a different country is in almost all cases more expensive than what the thing is worth. Even MacBook Pro's are barely worth half the original price after 2-3 years (particularly with Apple's pace of innovation), and most Windows laptops literally fall apart at the hinges at that point so they're worthless anyway.

Yes, you can theoretically go and iCloud-lock the thing to make it worth even less, but the machine still has value for its (non-serialed) parts.
Completely agree that an ear loop is less effective than a headstrap. The question is: by how much?

This beard length mask study is a good source of data. They actually measured fitted filtration efficacy at different beard lengths, including zero beard.

N95 was near 100%. KN95 was between 80-90% (surprisingly, higher with a small bit of beard, around 0.5-1mm).

Now, you could certainly argue that 80-90% filtration is performative, but on what evidence?

We know from hepa filtration studies that lowering the concentration of virus in the air lowers infection amongst those in a room. So from physical mechanisms we would expect that reducing inhaled virus by 80-90% should likewise reduce risk of infection.

Before finishing my read, I need to register an objection to the opening which reads to me so as to imply it is the only means:

> Researchers simulate a weird type of pseudo-neural-tissue, “reward” it a little every time it becomes a little more like the AI they want, and eventually it becomes the AI they want.

This isn't the only way. Back propagation is a hack around the oversimplification of neural models. By adding a sense of location into the network, you get linearly inseparable functions learned just fine.

Hopfield networks with Hebbian learning are sufficient and are implemented by the existing proofs of concept we have.

So effective that despite 80%+ of the population being inoculated it resulted in 25%+ more deaths? You gotta admit, that doesn't really make sense.
I guess Rust made the same reasoning than Python. For this kind of things, the PEP documents tend to be well based on experience and be a good guideline which even applies for other languages. Check the PEP 8 that I linked in my comment: although they recommend a very conservative limit of 80 (79 actually) it says that if it makes sense, 100 (99) can be used too. And that's from 2001.

I think maybe you misread the statement. You asked people to stop bringing up antisemitism because you are exhausted, and I’m assuming that they meant to point out that changing topics simply to help you avoid exhaustion would be doing so for your personal convenience (not the “convenience” of antisemitism as a concept, whatever that means). There is not a valid interpretation of that post as “antisemitism is convenient” if you accurately read the words in order.
Tesla has done exactly that same thing before so it's not as farfetched as it may seem, they may have simply not realized that doing that same thing in Europe is going to have a completely different effect than what happened the previous time in America.
Refusing to distribute mail to a specific recipient does not sound like a 'strike' in the sense of labour dispute to me. In France (often used a reference when it comes to striking...) that wouldn't be a legal strike, but obviously every jurisdiction is different.

In any case, this also probably breaches EU law related to universal postal service, which states that mail must be delivered to every address 5 days a week.
Agreed, "As many as" is doing some heavy lifting. The only anecdotal evidence I have in support of this claim is how some companies included the employee's laptops as part of severance packages throughout the "forced RTO" layoffs in the past year.
That's debatable. It's illegal to torrent, but not necessarily unethical. Is it really unethical to make an identical copy of a file? How would you feel if I made an identical copy of your car and drove off with the copy?

Furthermore the people involved in making the content put a lot of time and effort into making this work of art. (Whether it is good art is for the perciever to decide) and now the distributor is preventing audiences from viewing/accessing the art for no good reason. Is that ethical?

I see torrenting as a case of civil disobedience. Yes it is not legal, but it IS ethical. It is protesting stupid laws and policies. When distributers don't let you legally access content, they should get fucked over, and people should pirate it to send a message: "We would have paid for this, but you didn't want to let us. So fuck you, we will get it for free then. See how much blocking legal access helps you."
