for me even pixel 5 was ok (mini is even better but let's say apple is another story). Now we have only zenfone 10, that is a bit taller so again not that nice and s23 that is +- the size of p5 but still something felt off. Iphone 13 mini was super nice to hold, super light. I would have got one if not lightning. All my devices use usb-c, it would be a downgrade to use lightning

Kagi’s ability to acquire name recognition among tech-centric people is not only what convinced me to pay for it - it was one of two or three fairly simultaneous things that made me reconsider the magnitude of the financial stake i have had in $GOOG since 2005. It’s less than it was a month ago.
No, you haven't demonstrated that redundancy will fail. If all 4 copies had the same password, the password was not redundant, and it is the non-redundant component that failed.
I have over 100 hours of playtime on Linux by now, it runs well enough that official Linux support wouldn't really change anything.
I even think this conflates 'clean' with 'duplication'.

The first code is clearly 'clean' conceptually, although there's plenty of duplication, it's very clear what's going on, it's 'flat'.

The re-worked code with an abstraction is more complex, even though it's 'tighter' in some way, it's suddenly multi-leveled, and so less clean conceptually.
I'm not on the train of applying "Clean" Code always and everywhere. However:

> I've found over a long time (20+ years) that this is usually a sentiment held by people who are focusing on the wrong things in code bases (and quite often aren't actually solving real problems but spend their time solving non-problems with the additional side effect of creating more for the future). The first implementation of this should most definitely not abstract away anything like those 10 lines (which is minuscule). It's trivial to take something that does exactly (and only) the thing and modify it later and it's pointless to abstract away something as small as 10 lines for a gain you haven't yet proven or tested.

I have to disagree here a little.

How are you going to "prove" lower maintenance cost? How are you going to prove, that less bugs happened? How are you going to prove that ahead of making the change? How would you prove it even after making the change? You cannot go back in time and live the same time again with a different approach. So what you are demanding as a kind of proof is never going to be possible and as such you are never going to have the refactoring. This argument could be had about any kind of refactoring, not only the one described in the blog post.

If one plasters the same code in many places, I have to doubt their basic understanding of computer programming. Have fun bugfixing N places instead of 1 place, once a bug is discovered. You hopefully don't be forgetting any places.

This is not to say, that no duplication ever should exist. Lets not be extremists.

> "Clean Code" is absolutely not important and most rules/"principles" of the same character as those that make up Clean Code are absolutely not important either, but are things that people with nothing better to do hold on to in order to validate the hornets nests they accumulate in code bases over time. It leads to over-abstracted, hard-to-change code that runs badly and is much harder to understand, generally speaking.

That is a very broad over-generalization. Maybe some or even many people do as you say, but not everyone. There are indeed good ideas in Clean Code. We just need to not be dogmatic about them.
If the number of users with lost files google may take a long time or not want to do the recovery.
I feel… mixed about BG3. Mostly it’s 5e’s fault. The combat is bad. The stats used in game are really stupidly balanced. The game is very easy and full of cluttersome mechanics that don’t matter much. Divinity 2 was way better as an rpg.

The romance has basically no agency and it’s weird that multiple side characters want to fuck you out of nowhere before the person people are identifying as your partner. Frankly the sexual tone of the game is super weird. It’s very tame despite how horny everyone at least for the characters I chose.

The story doesn’t offer you many forks to branch off of. Act 2 is particularly disappointing in this regard.

Act 3 is kind of slog of ticking off boxes and losses the appeal that Act 1 offered imo.

Stopping leveling up at level 12 near the beginning of Act 3 was super lame.

Several character arcs felt extremely underdeveloped (mol, Arabella, zevlor, karlach).

It’s still pretty good though. Good writing and good production values can carry it. Divinity 2 with BG3 production values would have been much better though imo.
I think it is because the equipment changed dependent on context. In Dieselgate the cars changed their engine management when they got into a test cycle...
Oh no. Not the function coloring debate again (congratulations, with 1/100 of the talent, the author of that article is now inflicting similar damage as misquoting Donald Knuth on performance).

But if we have to do this, all functions in Go are colored but you simply can't do anything about it. Not allowing a method call to represent a delayed operation that produces a result (Promise/Future/Task) is the major mistake, and a reason why Go is surprisingly limited at concurrency even if it not seems that way if you come from a language which had even worse UX.

I had no idea either until fairly recently. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe I repaired a laptop where replacing the paste didn't help, but replacing the pipes (or rather the heatsink assembly, which they're a part of) did wonders.

If you're already comfortable with taking it apart, it's trivial to replace. I think it's your best bet. You might even be able to get it directly from Dell since they also sell replacement parts.

>a deep history in the guild system and are related not just to bargaining with employers but also disseminating best practices and standards, so they add a lot of value as well.

This is the first time I've seen someone mention this as a good thing.

Most of the time its mentioned in outdated regulations dragging out the economic output of Europe in favor of old people who don't want to use new technology. I think everyone who has worked in physical product company has heard a story about how European unions are slow and expensive which is why XYZ is done somewhere else.

I actually like unions, I just found it silly to think that the guild system and the laws that resulted from union's corrupting the government are good things.
Jup happens all the time. Tesla also made the CyberTruck a drive by wire system, now fans are claiming it has the unique ability to have variable steering angles based on speed which is "far ahead of any other manufacturer"

Except that BMW 5-series and 7-series from 2010 onward have had this option... They've done it in a smarter way using a plantery gear system to keep a physical steering wheel connection as a backup instead of going the cheap and less safe drive by wire way that Tesla put on the CyberTruck.
First version was cleaner, and new code is, obviously, not clean at all, because it requires much more energy to learn then first one. Interesting that author misguide DRY code with Clean code
Good riddance, many of them were predatory and few prepared their trainees for a successful CS career.

There is not enough rigor in software engineering - see the vast amount of crap software running critical systems everywhere.

You're the one who is confusing threat models - namely the threat model I care about and the one Microsoft cares about. One has microsoft as the source of trust and one has them as an adversary.

No, its both. And when there is a mismatch then you have a problem.
Back in the day, dinosaurs roamed, and the Model S was almost out. I had a special interest in EV conversions. 1 of the vlogs I watched had this idea, 'if we buy into lithium, then lithium batteries as they blow up in popularity, we should make lots of money'

But the argument, 'there really isnt much lithium in a battery, there's loads of lithium, albeit maybe not in good forms(pure lithium go boom).' and so the investment was a poor idea.

That's all this is, people think 'omg lithium ion batteries are the future' lets try to corner the market and then they fail. There will never be a lithium shortage.It's not common like iron or carbon. It's about as common as silicon or chlorine. More common then copper, zinc, nickel.
The fact that you're getting downvoted says a lot. I have a really hard time taking all the praise seriously when you're not allowed to dislike or criticize this game. It feels like a cult.

Without knowing too much about the context, it probably would have been possible to keep the structure where every shape is structurally independent from other shapes, but where calculations are abstracted away in pure functions that are just being called by the shapes. That keeps the maths in one place (and you can always add more calculation functions later if needed), but it doesn't entangle different shapes with each other needlessly.
No they will not. Not everyone has the toxic combination of stupid and lazy that you car drivers put into your tank every week... try using a tree or the earth. Feet don't need fuel.
It's essentially the thesis of the post. I will say the "exactly" part was a bit hyperbolic.

He starts by stating that people say his surveys and Aella's Twitter polls (which he calls surveys) have selection bias, meaning the conclusions don't count.

He then goes on to say (paraphrasing): "people say surveys have selection bias, but don't think real scientific studies have selection bias" and in the next paragraph says "but scientific studies do have selection bias and that's ok." Note that in this section, he is implictly relating scientific studies with his and aellas surveys.

In the section that starts with "selection bias is disasterous if", he gives a narrow view of why and when it's bad: "only if you're doing a poll or census that should include everyone". He neglects to say the ways in which it's bad for literally all science (it's a massive problem in drug RCTs, but he literally uses RCTs as a point for why selection bias isn't so bad later on).

In the next few paragraphs he says that selection bias is fine for correlations, and gives some examples of when scientific studies have selection bias that we accept (I'm not going into details here because the post is long, and I'm on my phone).

So he's said why selection bias is present in science, and that it's only really bad for census's and polls. He then concludes, "hey guys stop saying surveys are bad because selection bias, science is also biased".

In this post he starts by bringing up a critism of Aella's 'research', which she uses data from Twitter polls for. He then implicitly equates surveys and scientific studies, and says "look, science is biased too, so selection bias isn't bad". He then concludes, "so stop saying surveys are a bad because of selection bias".

He might not literally say "twitter polls are exactly as good evidence as a scientific study", but the point of the post was to detract from the valid criticisms against his and Aella's posts that use survey/twitter poll data by saying "science does it too".
I'd be interested in seeing a study on different health outcomes for crust-eaters and crust-avoiders in their 30s and 40s. Do crust-avoiders (or hambuger-bun avoiders) suffer less from obesity or type 2 diabetes due to getting that much less intake of carbs?
X.com probably makes sense in the assumption that he turns Twitter into a WeChat clone as kinda 'everything app' which would obviously fail. But as 'everything app' X is kinda a strong brand IMO.

The irony: redux's goal is to make code cleaner. By introducing a shit ton of boilerplate.
That’s a weird set of complaints. Yes of course it’s a separate group of people. It’s a very long time apart and completely different studios.

I would rather complain that it wasn’t more like divinity. Divinity’s game design was vastly superior to 5e. But it clearly is a BG sequel. The plot connections are pretty strong. Perhaps more than ought to have been expected
How does that make no sense ? That's the whole point of a business.
I have a defender and added a bunch of stuff to it: cruise control, motor pre-heater, rear camera, working lights in the rear. I'll also add a diesel heater and more electrics at some point. On 12V it's easy, can't imagine doing work like that with 48V. Not sure how this works, and if you maybe just can use 12V anyway. But wanted to make the point of camper vans and overlanders and offroaders.
Little off topic but if you are finding that you are reading less books per yer than you actually would like to, I would suggest to use
tracking + reading challenge in Goodreads or in any other way (I know Goodreads is not perfect after amazon acquisition)

You can create a reading challenge usually at start of a new year and then follow progress. Start slow, one book per month is a good starting point IMO.

I started doing this in 2016 and completed the challenge each year and it motivate in kind of strange way to complete the challenge each year.
That's not related to this issue. Sweden loses if they allow multinationals to break the Swedish Model. If Tesla decided to never sell a car to Sweden, which is within their rights, Sweden would still have won if the labour market remains in tact. Personally I am 99.9% sure that Tesla will fold eventually, the question is how much PR damage will they have created for themselves in the Nordics/EU before they fold.

Switch in C# is pretty much Rust's 'match' (aside from Rust having unit type and being expression oriented which gives it an advantage). It support list pattern matching, object type and member pattern matching, inline slice patterns, etc. You don't need to use switch statements for that either, switch expressions is the recommended syntax today and IDE is likely to even suggest to auto-fix some of the idioms it can recognize.

>Wonder what's preventing them from making the official client open-source

Probably having a full time job that people will actually support? Open source software doesn't reward effort.

Headscale does not have a nice UI, its basically all CLI usage. There's very good reason to use Tailscale for companies and there's also good reasons for Tailscale to support an opensource implementation of their control server, I've seen it from both ends as people go either way, it's a symbiotic relationship and probably one of the best examples in open source today.

And they definitely didn't change any of the writing or the story in Cyberpunk 2077 post-launch. The only thing they did was add a couple of more side missions, and release a story-focused expansion.
Just thinking outloud. But if you made it so your competitor couldn't fulfill their servicing contract, then the entity taking out the contract might just very well come to you to solve the problem. You might not win the contract on price, but win it by default because you made it impossible for anyone else to complete it.

That is until your scheme is uncovered because you left the GPS coordinates of your competitors workshops in your code.

Yes, this is also the conversation where he said "Go fuck yourself. Go. Fuck. Yourself."
Dieselgate was about cheating environment sensors. This is more like DeereGate, locking out external service shops but even when you are supposed by law to allow them service (and even after providing them 20k page service manuals which they are supposed to follow to make appropriate service, but you lock them out anyway).

I've only played it on Linux. Basically, you can assume any Windows game sold on Steam works on Linux. It's not always true, but it's true often enough that I don't normally check protondb anymore.
Presumably, by “finish” the OP means “good enough to ship” or “does what it initially proposed it would”.

But even ignoring that, you can finish software projects. It is definitely possible to stop and say “this is done, it works exactly as I wanted, does no more or less than desired”.
> X.com is pretty stupid as well, you can't meaningfully use it as a brand.

Just "x" alone isn't really the brand.

It's more like "x.com" is the canonical name.

From that perspective, "x" or "x.com" is about as good as brand recognition can get. It's simple and perfectly descriptive of an "everything app" and payment processing business.

Tesla is refusing to sign a collective bargaining agreement which is basically the norm in Sweden. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and garnered a lot of attention in Swedish media and social media. Sweden has a strong tradition of unionization which clashes with 'big American capitalism'. Swedish subreddits have lately had frequent posts with the comment sections filled with comments that more or less in unison are saying 'go get them, grabs popcorn' in support of the actions taken against Tesla.

Maybe. But not on which parsing library to use (parsec? megaparsec? attoparsec? regex-applicative?), on whether to use Data.Text.Strict or Data.Text.Lazy, on how point-free the code should be, on whether to use "." or ">>>" or any other combinators, on which language extensions to use...

I like Haskell, but it suffers from similar problems as any other language: people can't really agree on the best way to do things
In Finland, a pizza-buffet chain has been one of the most common all-you-can-eat experiences. However, the catch is that you pay extra for drinks. I find the pizzas are so incredibly salty that I suspect they are intentionally made such to force drink purchases. (Like the old salted peanuts at a bar trick.) The pizzas might initially look enticing, but the magic wears off after just a few minutes of eating there.
