I'd agree, Rational Male is a life changing book.

It works on a number of levels:

- Confirms many young man's (usually wrong) biases about women.

- Provides a convenient post-hoc rationalization to men who cannot get laid.

- Further mystifies the idea of women by building convoluted pseudo-intellectual structures.
I suspect many developers, including OpenAI engineers are using VSCode, maybe TypeScript for frontend engineers, GitHub for sure which had no real features like pull request approvers before Microsoft money came in. Less at OpenAI most likely, but C# and .NET are going strong with bleeding edge tech like .NET chisel containers support. And I've seen great support from their engineers working on OSS, best of FAANG.

Google created the meme that a company could be evil or not but we're past that age. Let's focus on the experiences, and while not forgetting the past (yes the 90s do not paint MS well), be forgiving. MS seems to continue to develop and even innovate on a lot of this tech, painting them as an evil dinosaur seems frankly ridiculous. Yes as with any large company, there will be parts that are good and parts that are not.

Disclaimer: I have never worked at Microsoft and own no stock directly though so have ETFs. And through OSS I have some friends there that I strongly respect and think are awesome and always think of them any time I see hate talk towards MS, which is unfortunately common...

Congratulations. Amazing.

What was your workflow for the design like? On your github I see you used verilog. I have never used it. Do you use software that converts the verilog to a list of 74HC ICs and how to connect them?
Good hack. Will start this from today only.
Just for fun, I downloaded the wbep in the article to my desktop to check non-web comparability and found something strange. For usability reasons, I still use Windows Photo View from the XP days on my modern Windows 11 computer. After loading it up there, I noticed that the webp image is viewable but decodes very differently than other applications. For comparison, I included the image as Firefox sees it, as the native Windows 11 Photos app sees it, and as the XP-era Photo Viewer sees it. Notice that Photo Viewer is darker and with what looks like messed up HSL saturation values. Why would it do this, instead of just not displaying the file at all?

European-style lactase persistence is centered in northern Europe, so yes, Italians have less of it.

But the maybe 38% of Italians who can digest lactose ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28673071/ ) still dwarf the ~7% of Chinese who can. If your only exposure to whites was Italians, with their very strong cultural features of cheese†, cream-based sauces, and ice cream‡, you'd still know that (1) whites consume much, much, much more dairy than Chinese do; and (2) they are much less likely to suffer any negative consequences from doing so. On the other hand, Italians would probably sympathize with the risk of indigestion from drinking milk "wrong" where Danes or Dutchmen would most likely just be confused at the idea.

My white ancestry is mostly drawn from England, Ireland, Sweden, and Russia, so the baseline expectation for me to be able to digest lactose would be a lot higher than the Italian baseline. Visually I do look more like a southern European.

† To the best of my knowledge, there is no significant amount of lactose in cheese. But it is still a good indicator that milk features in the culture.

‡ Ice cream is also very popular among the native Chinese.
The only thing I had problems with (only caring about current versions of Chrome, Fx and Safari) was drop-shadows. Though I guess I am not using particularly advanced SVG features. What made it feel advanced and cool for me is how much I could do with css variables and transitions blended into it.
Though, the mixing of CSS and SVG is also weird.

MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Fi...):

> In addition to setting attributes on objects, you can also use CSS to style fills and strokes. Not all attributes can be set via CSS. Attributes that deal with painting and filling are usually available, so fill, stroke, stroke-dasharray, etc. can all be set this way, in addition to the gradient and pattern versions of those shown below. Attributes like width, height, or <path> commands cannot be set through CSS. It's easiest just to test and find out what is available and what isn't.

> Note: The SVG specification decides strictly between attributes that are properties and other attributes. The former can be modified with CSS, the latter not.
Yes, that’s what I’m referring to. I hope that some of the legislative reform bills eventually pass, but I don’t anticipate Congress being sufficiently functional and sufficiently protective of consumer and employee rights to do so any time soon.

There is nothing wrong with builders making money.

Most of the cost of housing in cities comes from the underlying land. And you can make that cheaper overnight by increasing supply through zoning.
I have a soft spot for old hardware. And a 10-12 year old machine is able to play 1080p video smoothly (unless it was a low-end machine at the time), which makes it fine for 90+ percent of my needs. Plus, these older machines can be obtained very cheaply. With a bit of luck for free, if you offer to save friends and relatives the effort to dispose of them properly.
It's using the Copilot Chat API in the background -- if you check the Copilot Chat APIs there's even specific flags for Jetbrains IDE end-users, so this is essentially a whitelabel client for Copilot Chat.

This is how the system should function, but then you get public outcry when the worst of us are found abusing the system of subsidies while perpetrating their crimes. I think specifically of Marc Dutroux here.

On a side note, after the mass influx of Ukrainian refugees and wide public support, it is much more obvious that those in the greatest need tend to demand less, not more.

The move to 48V means much less power is lost (power loss = (IxI)xR ), cables can be much smaller, cables and terminals can be much lighter and much less copper can be used used.

Basically it's just a more efficient way of doing things.

Elon has said it's not a revolution, or ground breaking in any way, it is simply a step improvement. Anyone could have done it. Tesla did it.
No, because clear lack of security is better than faux security. With older SSL versions, it's security that even creates extra risk for all clients (by leaking server secrets and allowing ciphersuites that don't have PFS).
> tagging the author

Sounds like trouble to me.

“Hey I rewrote what you wrote because it sucked. Got problems with that?”

I suppose the best solution to this problem would be a “late review” asking for an explanation, offering a solution, and hoping it doesn’t just get ignored, which is the easiest thing to do for the author.

You aren't worthless, you are being given a significant amount of trust to use your specialized knowledge to single-handedly keep a system alive.

Now, I totally get that isn't the job you want, and they aren't treating you well. But it isn't a sign of being worthless. Find something better, but do it with confidence that you are seen as being quite capable in your work.

Frankly, that sounds unprofessional. The author sounds like an experienced developer; that approach to refactoring seems arrogant.
Yes, Half-Life was also promised decades ago but is yet to be delivered.

Can you explain why?

People elsewhere in this thread are saying that PGP sucks because it tries to do too many things at once, but it seems to me that the one big advantage of a tool which does everything at once is that you only need to solve authenticity one time for everything you do.

For example, if I'm communicating with an open source dev, having their known-authentic PGP key allows me to simultaneously verify the authenticity of their software updates, verify the authenticity of the email they send me, and encrypt my emails to them. Is there anything outside of PGP that accomplishes this?

It’s also worth noting that early in earth’s history, it was geologically very active and thus resulted atmosphere with all kinds of extreme weather—including lightning storms.

I don’t know how likely spontaneous recombination is, but those two data points make it seem plausible enough that electricity may have had an important role in the development of life on earth.
JHipster 8 Brings Spring Boot3, Hibernate 6, Node 18 LTS, Vue 3 and Angular 16
JHipster, the web and microservices applications generator, has recently released version 8.0 with new features such as: Hashicorp Consul will be the default service discovery mechanism; Development Containers will be available; and Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) has been enabled for each application that acts as a gateway or is a monolith. Refactorings were made and unmaintained components were removed.
The defining feature of oobleck is that if you try to move through slowly it is just a goopy liquid, but when you try to move fast the oobleck becomes hard (then because it is hard you get stuck as long as you keep pushing).

I guess the bit you were missing is that the period when layers slide quickly over each other is (in my experience) very brief: typically the experience is your spoon almost immediately gets stuck and further pushing will break off chunks of oobleck, not push it aside.
It's disappointing to see everyone freaking out about this while ignoring the hundreds of different analytics SDKs littering every single mainstream app out there that leak even more metadata and store it on the provider's server (unlike push notifications which can be end-to-end encrypted).
It's pretending to be nice to one group by dunking on another group largely responsible for the foundations they are standing on.

That's fair and I hadn't thought about the "Make it a bit thicker again" variant. I would like that. Probably not what will happen though.
You're talking about some of the things that would be on the accessory belt (serpentine belt) on an ICE, that need to keep spinning even when the ICE is off (power steering, A/C, etc.). That is a slightly more fancy engine start/stop.

You are not talking about high current devices like heated and cooled seats, defrosters, infotainment and audio amps, power windows, power seats, lights, etc. etc.
One answer from a university research perspective is that the system motivates grad students to work on easier problems so they can get their Ph.D. in a reasonable amount of time. Spending 30 years solving a problem is not an option.

More established researchers don't do research, they look for funding to fund their grad students. Some biomedical labs do have specific diseases as research targets, but research in a direction often stops when the grad student graduates and new grad students tend to favor new problems, not continuing work on someone elses problem. Research funding is controlled by the older, more established researchers and they mostly go with what they know, rather than trying wild new things, even if little progress is being made.

In the social sciences things like hunger, health, shelter are somewhat studied but most researchers find more money in studies of how to motivate more workers to higher productivity and similar corporate aims. Mostly it's only governments who fund studies on the important problems because there is no obvious money to be made from the results, even though the societal benefits would be huge. War eats a lot of government funding.

There are a lot of other reasons also, like the financial industry grabbing programmers and physicists who could be working on more important things instead of gaming markets. I suggest taking a look at the buildings in your town, the nicest, biggest, most expensive buildings are where the money is going. The oldest, most run down places are where it is not going.
This is not a very good explanation, nor is it useful for anything.

A single qubit is not useful for computation and the way it is written doesn't generalize to more than a single qubit.
The code doesn't even really simulate a single qubit properly, since it doesn't use complex numbers.

What they call a "Rydberg gate" is not a gate at all.

Most of the text feels like it's written by an AI.

From what I can tell, the author is focusing a bit too much on numbers, but is unsure why these alternatives haven't gained widespread adoption.

The comparison photo isn't great. Even my pedestrian eyes are able to tell that the Webp and Avi conversions result in poorer photos (most glaring example is the tree in the background), so immediately I'd not want my photos created, converted, or displayed in that format.

But numbers aside, the main reason is because JPG is 'good enough'. It's the same reason that old protocols like FTP and SMTP still hang around, why customers still want CSVs/Excels over Parquets. If a thing is good enough, it will hang around for a very long time because there's no compelling reason to move away from it. Considering the bloat that websites already present to the user, and the general lack of attention to bandwidth savings in the development stage, AND the existence of 'workarounds' like CDNs, even the development teams have little incentive to look for savings here (for now).

There will be hundreds of workflows built around JPG's capabilities as well, right from how cameras take the photos, embed metadata into it, how tools read that metadata. Think of embedded devices and webcams that produce images, which will be running 'in the field' for decades.

Additionally it's not just about browser support, which is a very limited way of considering it. For people working with those image types, they will want to know if it's compatible on all desktop OSes, and through tooling like GIMP, Photoshop, Affinity, exiftool, ffmpeg, imagemagick, etc.

It'll probably be a good number of years before there is widespread adoption that enable those workflows, at which point we (hopefully) no longer have to care whether it's a .webp or .jpg.

> Abstraction is not beneficial when you need to study it later to understand it again.

This is where a good study routine comes in. I study Haskell like I study all things of any long term importance, using an Anki deck. It takes me longer to start using a new abstraction, but once I have it it's pretty much there for life, due to my daily commitment of half an hour or so to my reviews. It makes far less sense, of course, to do this for a one-off abstraction I had to apply to a specific project, so this naturally tilted me over the years to work more and more in loss like Haskell.

(N.B., I do not state this as a prescription. I think this is well above and beyond what most people expect of themselves professionally, and that is okay. Everything in life comes with tradeoffs.)
Absolutely, Elon said that himself in the recent Munroe interview.

It is just bringing car wiring into the 21st century.
Emmanuel Katto's vision for Africa does not solely rely on fostering entrepreneurship within the continent. He is a firm believer in the power of collaboration and partnerships. Katto encourages African entrepreneurs to actively seek international collaborations and partnerships with businesses and organizations from around the world. By doing so, African entrepreneurs can tap into global expertise, access new markets, and gain exposure to best practices.
That refactor was good. The way the colleague was handled wasn't. Repetitive menial code like the one originally submitted should not be accepted, but you shouldn't unilaterally rewrite it either.
I also had some experience in that space, and my conclusion was that what was really hard is handling keep-alive correctly. Some mobile networks will very aggressively flush their NAT entries while other will be fine with a packet every hour or so. And sometimes the NAT timeout changes depending on the server's IP range. Building a solution that is both battery-optimal and that will keep the connection alive is pretty hard.

My understanding is that this uses centralized servers maintained by each browser vendor.
Living in the US and within walking distance (5-10 min walk) of a grocery store, I'd much rather drive because I can buy more things, thus making fewer trips over the month. It's the same 5 min by car, but it's just a lot more convenient. I have plenty of exercise, so I prefer to not carry a bunch of bags to stay fit...
When I said "This isn't what any lossy formats are designed for", I meant on the web, which I thought was the context with the article and all. And then there is indeed little point of uploading images to a web server that is far larger than viewports.

I also still maintain that lossy formats aren't designed to manage users zooming into textures and trying to find out compression artifacts and wavelet caused softening of power lines. We have lossless compression for this and in this regard, WebP is actually surprisingly powerful, far far more so than PNG.

Idea of Phorevr was started when I first time received that email

‘We’re shutting down our service. Please download *.zip with your photos in a month’

After that I realized that cloud storages are holding us hostage. Even if you’re properly paying every month you can’t rely on centralized service.

That's why we've built Phorevr for ourselves, friends & families first of all. For people who take care of memories.

In the time of Holiday Season this is especially true.

Take care of Holiday memories via immortalizing them on the permanent storage on blockchain. Encrypted, of course.

Reddit time stamps has always been a problem for me in all the other search engines, not for you? I’ve also noticed Bing is now surfacing tons of Reddit results on just about every search but without me typing Reddit. I’m guessing my use of bing chat or something similarly creepy.
«Hot women are attracted to “shiny objects”: money clips, camera
lenses, fancy watches. All you have to do is flash it better or more
profusely than the next guy and you’re in. This is something men
can understand, for there is logic here, and structure. A road map
to follow: acquire shiny objects, acquire hot women. Simple. One for
the left arm and one for the right arm? Sure, why not?

Beautiful women do not care about these things at all. They are
attracted to only one thing in men: beauty. And what is the beauty
in a man? A lifelong devotion to a personal passion, a passion larger
than him, larger than her, larger than the whole wide world, a passion
that radiates from his pores until the day he dies. This is the beauty
of men. And this is why beautiful women are forever in love with
starving artists, musicians, dreamers, iconoclasts. They love these men
because they, too, possess a certain, rare beauty. They, too, are set apart.»

From the article: "When we don’t feel confident in our code, it is tempting to attach our sense of self-worth and professional pride to something that can be measured. A set of strict lint rules, a naming schema, a file structure, a lack of duplication."

I feel a little triggered. Maybe I'm not feeling confident? No. I've dealt with lots of other people's code and I'm really not bothered by repetition, even not by overuse of abstractions. But. Strict lint rules, a naming scheme and a file structure (in other words, basic coding standards) are, in my opinion, the minimal foundation of any professional software development project. Looking at it this way, clean code is code that is consequently adhering to a given coding standard.
The results that you get in Google also depend on your location
Oops, I meant 2023.
Reddit to old.Reddit as a feature is enough to make me look into this as a replacement search engine. My search experience for specific information that’s kept on subreddits has been hell since they introduced new Reddit.

If it can automate for me navigating to Reddit, then modifying the url to old.Reddit, and hopefully not accidentally clicking on the page and needing to reverse back or get redirected based on the content, then that’s probably worth 10 dollars a month already
