I never touched it myself, because it's 'Microsoft's version of Java', so double-plus-ungood.

But my 14yo son has been trying all the languages the last year or so (from lisps to lua to rust, to C, to icon, vale, to, etc, etc), and out of all of them he's most impressed by C#. According to him, it's just really well designed, all just fits together beautifully ... (his opinion on Rust - it's just not complete yet).

So I think C# probably is under-hyped, and I'll be taking a look myself. That's if I can even download it; I guess I'll have to wrestle through a microsoft account login, app store, or family permissions, or whatever other user hell they've concocted lately.
I'm not saying they have to be 100% victims, but if you start off by violently assaulting people I'm not going to say that the people stopping you from doing so by force are in the wrong for doing so.

If you want to say a company was evil for sending armed goons to break up a group of armed goons assaulting people or destroying stuff, then you're just plain in the wrong.
Tests drive design in two ways, and I rarely seem them distinguished (including here):

1) By making you think about the interface up front. E.g. if you are designing a REST API writing a test that calls that API that does not yet exist. This almost always a good thing.

2) By making it painfully difficult to write a test - e.g. because you need to mock all over the place. The most annoying thing about this form of feedback is that it does help so it's not completely useless, but it's very expensive and usually has a low if not negative ROI.

I don't find that thought pieces on "test driven design" ever seem to distinguish the two different modes, and they're usually awfully vague about whether they're talking about high level tests matching business logic or low level tests on implementation details because they have very different payoffs.

High level TDD where the tests match the behavior and business logic will often NOT provide design feedback on lower levels. I think this is actually a good thing. It simply provides a safety net to experiment with your designs.
It looks like the winter level also had some kind of freezing going on.
As well as switching to 48V they are going to use Ethernet cables for most of it (PoE). So at the same time they get rid of the CAN bus wiring and have everything running on ethernet for communications and power, which means a LOT less wiring because with CAN bus every device needs its own wire but with Ethernet its much easier to have 'hubs' that channel communications and power on to other devices.

If your plan for abolishing the FDA is “and also abolish every other relevant arm of government at the same time”, you don't have a plan.

“Full abolition of the FDA would have domino effects on every other part of healthcare. You would have to reform the insurance system, the War on Drugs, the medical evidence system, the malpractice system, and the entire role of doctors. All of these other things are terrible and should probably be reformed anyway. But you’d have to do it all at the same time, and get it all exactly right.”
I agree it should be possible, but a Raspberry Pi Zero is a super computer.
what I love about Little Inferno is that it’s a very direct criticism of capitalism… and was released originally as a launch title for a new video game console (the WiiU). I always loved that they did that.
> If it's truly something consumers value...

You're acting like consumers of medication have a choice. They _need_ certain medication and if the only option doesn't include safety inspections then they can't exactly just pick a different medication, they have to put their trust in a profit-driven company's hands or suffer and maybe die.

Healthcare isn't something that should be sold as people are forced to buy it to survive. That allows crazy levels of exploitation, leading to insane prices like the U.S already has for medication, treatments, and medical insurance.

Yes, the problem in the real world is that no one KNOWS they're writing a bad abstraction at the time they're writing it, otherwise they wouldn't write it.

Therefore it's insufficient to say things like "avoid bad abstractions" or "make sure you accommodate future usage". No one can predict the future, generally speaking.

Abstraction should be used with extreme caution, even when you feel that it's probably right. Be an extreme skeptic.
I have been using Kagi for a few months now and generally enjoy it, but I do think it's biased towards returning results from sites in the US, despite having "United Kingdom" selected in the search criteria.

It's obviously a hypothesis, stitched together from extremely incomplete data. I've said from day one that I'm looking forward to read about this in the history books in 20 years. Maybe Altman's eventual bio will contain the truth.
The range of the return value is not the issue - the comparison function [0] for std::sort returns a bool and not a tristate anyway.

What gp probably messed up is the one of the guarantees of a strict weak ordering:

- Irreflexivity: comp(a, a) == false for all a

- Transitivity: if comp(a, b) == true and comp(b, c) == true then comp(a, c) == true

- Asymmetry: if comp(a, b) == true then comp(b, a) == false

std::sort can assume that all these requirements are true and does not have to care about what happens if they don't.

And sometimes some image CDNs seem to have been configured such as to ignore an explicit request for JPEG via their image format parameter (you can change it to all sorts of different formats that then actually get delivered, only jpeg stubbornly continues to return a webp image (!)) unless you also spoof the user agent to some older browser.

> Sure, in that case maybe Tesla would never have entered Sweden, but what good is that? It's bad for Sweden, Tesla, and the environment.

How exactly would it be "bad for Sweden" if Tesla never had entered? Tesla is just another large company. Why would it bad for Sweden if Tesla didn't enter their market because Tesla didn't want to comport itself according to Swedish laws and customs?
I wonder when this site started allowing such shallow dismissals of other peoples work, but as far as HPMOR is concerned, it has a few interesting chapters about manipulative behaviors and negotiation tactics.

I wouldn’t see it any differently than say, a fable, which tries to teach something to its reader. I admit this literary work is a bit longer for some peoples tastes, for what it’s worth.
The trouble with libertarianism is that it assumes everyone has perfect knowledge. Right now I don't need to do a ton of research about what drugs I'm taking, or the food I'm eating, come to that, because there are agencies making sure that things I buy which are labeled as such will nearly never kill me. I don't want to spend my evenings reading about esoteric stuff that I don't have to care about now, I want to watch streaming or play computer games.
Even if I did, Covid has already shown us how bad most people are at recognising good research from propaganda. I just don't feel like it would end well.
I recently re-downloaded Twitter to give it another chance and I can confirm it does still promote Elon's posts everywhere. Even when I have select "Show less like this" etc.
Imagine a future AI which scrapes your past internet history of all the videos you watched, articles written by you, etc to recreate your digital avatar in order to torture / pleasure you depending on your allegiance to such an AI, long after you are dead. That AI will also potentially be aware of the advanced physics, mathematics, evolution, social and cultural conditioning, free will, etc and still decide to torture you. At this point, all of such efforts looks to me like how can I warp the space of stories to suit my narrative. As Benedict Evans said, talking about AI is all about crafting the best metaphors to advance a particular viewpoint.
I'm also a happy Kagi user.

There are only two reasons I still visit Google:

1. I'm based in the UK and often it shows me shops based
in the US high up within my search results.
2. Sometimes I specifically like to visit Google Shopping
to find the lowest prices online for an item I'm trying
to buy.

Once Kagi has improved these two areas I'll have no reason at all to ever visit Google (other than Google Maps or Google Translate).

They set out to get "the best sex scene" according to them, which - apparently - is the one you get when you betray the Druid defenders instead of repelling the oncoming horde. The horde leader is a woman who shows up in your dreams.

One wonders if they used mocap animation. There were about four different positions during the ~3min scene. Bravo to the animators.

I think that was about four hours in. We eventually got to a spider nest, and somehow just barely won. Then we ended up in the forest hag’s lair, and got our asses handed to us five times in a row, at which point we all passed out from exhaustion.

That was probably the most fun I’ve had in a game in a long time. There were a bunch of memorable things. E.g. I was playing a berserker, and they told me to take off my armor because otherwise I wouldn’t get a special damage boost unique to berserkers. So I stripped off my breastplate and leggings, and then realized I could take off my bra and underwear too. They all burst out laughing when I stormed in to the next fight naked. (I was playing as that devil-looking woman that normally you recruit a few hours into the game, since I didn’t feel like setting up a character from scratch.)

Watch as they come to downvote you for not welcoming more regulation and nanny state culture, while contributing nothing.

There's a reason I leave dead comments on. It's where all the interesting things are. This place is the perfect hybrid between 4chan and reddit, but sadly the reddit side is obsessed with censoring dissenting thought into oblivion.

Though I don't need to say that, that's the thing everyone will keep regurgitating as prime reason to stay here.

What I don't understand is why we don't just colour code the opinions instead of hiding them.

Simply make the thoughts of people that are considered alternative red and everything else green or something. Use an llm to assign the colours.

I also don't understand why arguing in bad faith is unsupported. Bad faith actors are the people you need to convince, why would you need to convince the borg, you are already among them.
Im in this post and i dont like it lmao.
I grew up in a rural area. I remember clearly our high school teacher talking about some government boondoggle and he walked us through a black board calculation that showed that it wasted more money than the entire worth of all the homes and farms in the dozen or so towns and villages our high school drew from.

The mithril coat was beautiful, rare, made of the most valuable metal in existence and, essentially, magical.

Thought it was a good comparison.
Kagi search is great and totally worth the $10/mo (I pay for Ultimate to get access to the assistant features but I'm not yet sure if they're worth it, though I'm happy to support the company).

Custom bangs alone are worth the price: I have them set up for LibGen, all my torrent sites, archive.ph, and their summarizer (which I recently discovered is !sum by default, no need for a custom bang).

But my favorite is a custom bang that points back at localhost (via Tailscale hostname so its available on mobile too) running a custom terminal emulator web app. Just using the bang alone opens a new terminal tab in the browser but when using it in combination with a URL allows writing commands like "curl [...url...] | ~/scripts/crawl.sh"
So much this. It’s hard not to lose the forest for the trees — we are craftspeople after all — but at the end of the day the overall structure of a program is so much important than whether there’s a bit of duplication here or there. Better to let the structure emerge and then reduce duplication instead of trying to guess the right structure up front. And yeah I’m still not convinced SOLID is real (but I’m also not convinced classes are useful much of the time, for that matter).
> Are we also eliminating factory inspections to make sure drugs aren’t contaminated?

> Right now the FDA does this too

Not really. They come and check and confirm your procedures are in line with a bunch of paper standards. In no way they can guarantee the lack of contamination.
Likely bc the "adder" is not an adder. I've analyzed it. It's composed of FETs with nonlinear gate voltage-drain current relationship (that's normal). Often in radio circuits these are set up and operated in a small linear region. They work well enough in a small voltage range, but in SID they are used for larger amplitudes. Result can be modeled as a sum of Taylor series meaning fun, new partials like x^N get synthesized for free!
Do you have examples of what kind of DIY work is hard?

I haven’t done a ton of work on newer cars, but at least adding wiring for a hitch on my Kona EV was just as easy as any wiring I’ve done on my old truck.

Is a job like adding amps and better speakers trickier?
I really love Duck Duck Go's solution: Below the search input is a small toggle, allowing me to toggle whether results are based on my location or now. Most of the time I don't, but every now and then the results improve if I explicitly toggle results for my country on

Edit: I just saw that Kagi supports "regional bangs", e.g. !nl to search results for The Netherlands. This is, for me, almost on par with DDG
> Not sure where the quote is from but EU has always been a political alliance,

That's demonstrably not true. Granted, that's what Jean Monnet and his disciples had (and still have) in mind, but that's not what was presented as the face of this supra-state association as soon as the 2000s.

That's why many people are so upset about it since the gloves have come off about the true intent of those Jean Monnet followers, which by my (previously stated) estimation started happening in the last 10-15 years.

The point I wanted to clarify is that if I worked at PostNord I couldn't decide to stop sending post to a company I disagree with, or a political party I dislike, etc. This is union-led industrial action.

A team of developers from Harvard has announced a breakthrough in the field of quantum computer development - they have managed to solve one of the problems of achieving quantum superiority. According to scientists, the processor developed by them is resistant to errors and is able to overcome the noise that arises during the operation of such systems - the discovery paves the way for the production of large-scale logic processors.
And yet following the introduction of those paper regulations, the amount of factory contamination fell to near-zero. What a coincidence.
> There’s the notion of a corner store, in different languages. But these things don’t really exist anymore since supermarket chains have taken over, some in really small spaces.

They still exist, you just need to know where to find them.

Your corner bakery, butcher & vegetable store are still around, but they tend to serve an upmarket / luxury customer segment these days.

In most big(ger) cities there's "night stores", often run by people of Arab origin (like Lebanese), "toko" (Indonesian grocery store), and Turkish supermarkets (my go-to for dried legumes like lentils, chickpeas, mung beans etc).

Relatively new are organic / "bio" focussed supermarkets. Usually expensive... But they sell many products that regular supermarket chains don't.
Famously, companions throwing themselves at you immediately was a bug they patched early on.

it's certainly not as popular as I'd presumed it was going to be. I was on it for a while but didn't have the same level of engagement with it as I had with twitter, it was a much quieter place. I presumed it was just because twitter had managed to turn everyone off the idea of that level of engagement, but I then set up accounts on Mastodon and BlueSky, and between the two found almost everyone I'd valued on twitter. Bluesky's UI is rubbish but its nice to be able to have conversations again

Much of that post fails to adress the fact we lived thousands of years fine without the FDA and that the FDA commits some of the most egregious crimes by being wholly corrupt with a sliding door between corps and administrators and delaying life saying drugs for no reason. They have a huge amount of blood on their hands.
You can also make an empty reddit account and switch to old reddit style in settings.
I think that quote is a good example of why it is a fair characterization. It uses the authors’ seniority to argue from authority, even explicitly requesting respect.

> Companies will put whichever labels they feel are required because they are still liable for the problems their products cause. This is basic and standard tort law, no change required here.

Company gets sued because warning is missing, adds warning back, go back to square one (warnings are legally mandated).

Mind that a lot of those warnings come about after drug testing and subsequent pharmacovigilance work.

> Companies are welcome to have inspectors come in and certify that the drugs are safe, just like they do when ratings agencies rate their debts.

Yes, because that works wonderfully. I'm sure all AAA bonds are solid (and that even with the SEC). Oh wait

That's actually a pretty big issue for surveys where I live. I live in a part of Denmark that is notorious for never using the full scale in surveys, to the point where it screws with data analysis.

Basically we'll never use 5 in a 1 - 5 score, or 10 in a 1 - 10, because what if something better came along?

I've been to training seminars and done surveys about workplace issues where we've been specifically instructed to use the full scale, because clustering on e.g. 2 - 4 will result in NOTHING, it gets removed by HR/software/analysis as average and not worth dealing with, resulting in no change.

I'd still argue that it issue is in how people use the data, but it remains a problem.
Obviously!!!
> Are we also eliminating the concept of prescription medication? [...] Do you also want all medications to be available without a prescription?

A few years ago I watched a video of a debate among people seeking the Libertarian Party presidential nomination [1] where I learned that Libertarians honestly and earnestly believe you shouldn't need a license to drive a car.

I am pretty sure a Libertarian would see no problem with offering cocaine, fentanyl and warfarin off the shelf in corner stores.

Of course, how this intersects with the Ivermectin lovers of the Republican party I'm not sure.
