I think it was one of the better from mainstream media: no more doom and gloom, or Bitcoin is a scam that is going nowhere. This time, the Economist, is recognising that until there are two people in the world that believe it has value, Bitcoin will exist. It might not reach the moon, but it will not reach zero anytime soon.

They call it the cockroach theory, and I believe it is a massively underrated feature. As much as this forum would like it to be stamped out, for some irrational reason, Bitcoin is here to stay, like it or not. It's just a piece of technology after all.
I too find the Object Management Group to be blasphemous.
Pinball is my big one. I play competitively, in tournaments and a league, and have my own machines at home.

It's such a different dimension than any other kind of video game, with the size and physicality. As a WFHer since Covid, pinball is huge in giving me something to do that isn't sitting on my butt staring at a screen. It's not a cheap hobby, for sure, modern machines run around $6k and up, but then again they can be resold and traded for close to what you paid.

Please do. It's a skill for life and a great equalizer, quite literally, once people have installed the foils on the boards there is quite literally nothing left to invent in the sport/hobby.

It's like biking, people can trim a quarter of an ounce from the bike/board here and there but the body movements and techniques that you learn now will be absolutely the same 100 years from now.

Some old school journalists from NYT wrote about that phenomenon. Colleagues doing a lot of stories that were basically the groupthink of their friend group or what they saw on Twitter.

Biggest thing is changing cultural dynamics to make maximal efficiency of remote work. Which includes that sometimes, you get a team of people together temporarily in person to really focus and iterate on issues, but we all know the majority of time, this isn't needed for proper collaboration.

As far as excitement and collaboration goes: this is a culture and communication problem. If your company hasn't done a good job of training people to use the proper tools of collaboration they're not doing it right.

Same with mentorship, it should be done as a (possibly rotating) thing by people who are trained to do just that: be good mentors. This is not a burden that should fall on the uninitiated. This should also have concrete expectations for everyone involved. Its a job in and of itself, after all.

All of these things point to cultural company deficits, they're not an inherently immutable thing that is a downside of remote work.
After traveling that distance, I would expect the video to be kind of... fuzzy.

The awesome thing about modern programming culture is that rework due to the initial thing you shipped being rushed and shoddy actually looks really good on Tableau. Because you can assign more story points to fixing all the mistakes you made during the last 1-2 days of every sprint.

> the most effective use of developer resources may be to just test your private method.

While there is nothing wrong with testing an internal function if it helps with development, so long as it clearly identifiable as such, you still need the public interface tests to ensure that the documented API is still conformant when the internals are modified. Remember that public tests are not for you, they are for future developers.

This is where Go did a nice job with testing. It provides native language support for "public" and "private" tests, identifying to future developers which can be deleted as implementation evolves and which must remain no matter what happens to the underlying implementation.
A good example of a well documented library is three.js

It’s a ridiculous amount of money to spend to financially support Google’s exploitation of content creators and abusive “copyright” system, just so you can watch content they (a) already stream for free and (b) is already full of product placements, stealth marketing, sponsored segments, etc.

No way in hell I’m paying a huge premium for that.

I apologize for sounding offensive or otherwise dismissive of the discovery. I'm just clarifying what this actually is, as I have already seen discussions on Discord about this being a "game changing" exploit that will make copies of Alien Resurrection impossible to obtain for reasonable prices, or that it would have killed the console if it was discovered back in the day. While it is remarkable that this feature managed to make it past Sony's review process (and that it had obfuscation measures intentionally put in place), functionally it isn't any different from what unlicensed third party products such as the PS-X-Change or Import Player already did, and it's not like you strictly needed any of those to perform the disc swap trick anyway. A mention of those in the video, as well as a few more details on what the cheat code actually does behind the scenes, would have helped clear things up.

It's worth pointing out that there have been other instances of developers sneaking "forbidden" functionality past QA as well. For instance, an indie game developer famously tried to sneak a Perl (IIRC) interpreter into a Switch game and only got it taken down by Nintendo after publicly disclosing it.

Heh. Those aren't the weird ones. Those are just the base model sizes for popular semi-open foundational models.

Or the 22B "llamas".

The fundamental question here is whether or not you can get identical conditions in the first place. If for example spacetime is quantized, then it might be that the basic unit of our reality displays the sort of quantum behavior that makes it so hard to predict outcomes. It wouldn't just be a complex system, it would be an essentially random and ever-changing system. By the same token it could be the opposite, maybe it's just a really complex system as you were speculating about, and while nothing is random, it's essentially impossible to predict.

In essence, is this a universe where a version of Maxwell's Daemon could conceivably exist, or is it a universe that even a god-like being would find random?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon
It needs to be represented, certainly. But not to the extent that the cart precedes the horse, as in the Jony Ive era at Apple. The appropriate mindset for design is that of a servant acting in the user's interests, not a master auteur whose decisions make or break the product.
Most BSDs have not adopted Wayland and, at least for now, most have said they don't intend to adopt Wayland.

The issue is that they conflated ARR, which obviously does have a cost, with the largely "free money" from their breakup fee.
> Yea, more and more with computing, when I hear I should switch to something because it is "the future" or "modern," I am instantly suspicious.

Same, but I'd take a step further. If the most common argument in favor of application X or Platform Y is that it's "more modern" or "the future", I make a mental note to avoid using that tech if at all possible - it's almost always guaranteed to be garbage. It's the tech equivalent of being set up on a blind date and being told the other person is "Nice".
This is a very ignorant comment. AlphaFold is far more useful than ChatGPT and remains a more impressive piece of technology, even if it doesn't help you write boilerplate code.

i think for physical systems this might hold true in some way, though, i am not a physics person at all. it just 'feels' that way to me. however, life is also there, and life doesnt nessesarily follow such rules, as actually most of (intelligent?) life is not physical. (emotions, thought etc.) but does have impact / effect on the physical. i dont think non physical things are so determenistic. (maybe they are, but it doesnt 'feel' that way to me)

"ampacity" means "capacity in amperes" or more literally "ampere capacity." You could say current capacity too but it takes longer. Ampacity is the language used in the electrical code.

"amp" also seems to be more common to write than "A" for electricians. Remember that the SI standardization of unit abbreviations is actually a pretty modern thing, so lots of fields existed before unit abbreviations were standardized and continue to use existing practices.

I thought it worked fine with devices that had never been updated because you start from the very oldest spec and the lowest power and then both devices have to negotiate up?

I mean, sure you won't get better performance or power out of an old device but it's at least safe which is good enough for me, and for bonus points it's likely to work at some reduced level.

I've enjoyed BSDs, but I don't know how sustainable an approach this is. Unless the BSD maintainers are going to absorb and maintain the old X codebase (they have already refused to treat it as a system component, and it's reputedly hard to maintain), it seems like sooner or later they will have to switch to Wayland, unless something else comes along. And while BSD might be able to solve the fragmentation problem within themselves, they would probably diverge from GNOME and KDE by doing so, cf XKCD #927, and anyway they are generally loath to include or endorse graphical components in the base system.

A first step might be to just have a list of all the functionality affected by fragmentation. So far, unfortunately, most such lists are accompanied by if not subsumed within angry rants.

This does make me wonder: how do we know that random quantum processes are truly random?

It may be better to just start with managing caching with code.

In the standard library, the @functools.cache and @functools.cached_property function and method decorators do LRU caching in RAM only. https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html

Dask docs > "Automatic Opportunistic Caching": https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/caching.html#automatic-oppor... ; dask.cache.Cache(size_bytes:int) ... "Cache tasks, not expressions"

Pickles are not a safe way to deserialize data; there is not a data only pickling protocol.

So caching arbitrary cell objects (or e.g. stack frames) to disk, as pickles at least, creates risk of code injection if the serialized data contains executable code objects.

Similarly, the file permissions on e.g. rr traces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rr_(debugging)

Dataclasses in the standard library helps with object serialization, but not with caching cell outputs containing code objects.

Apache Arrow and Parquet also require schema for efficient serialization.

MRU: Most-Recently Used; most frequently accessed

Out-of-order execution in notebooks may or may not have wasted cycles of human time and CPU time. If the prompt numbers aren't sequential, what you ran in a notebook is not necessarily what others will get when running that computation graph in order; and so it's best practice to "Restart and Run All" to test the actual control flow before committing or pushing.

There are ways to run and test notebooks in order on or before git commit (and compare their output with the output from the previous run) like software with tests.
>For instance, consider a unit cube in n dimensions. The volume of this cube (1 unit on each side) remains constant, but the distance from the center to a corner increases with the square root of the number of dimensions. This implies that in high dimensions, most of the volume of a hypercube is located at its corners. This is bizarre to comprehend because it's hard to stop imagining a "cube" in the 3D sense.

This is incorrect. If you put a little box of small side length x at each corner, then each box has volume x^n and there are 2^n many of them, so the total volume they take up is 2^nx^n=(2x)^n, which is very small. Maybe what you meant is that most of the volume of a high-dimensional hypersphere is near its surface.
As I understand it (having been for many years) FOSDEM is self-organizing, so if there is to be a dev room, someone from the relevant community needs to step up and do the work to organise one. It's not true that FOSDEM as a whole ignores .NET though, one year they even had Scott Hanselman doing his thing there.
incidentally my latin helps me very little in french but a lot in italian and spanish, for example. in fact, i studied latin to make my task of learning french easier—but that never happened. i picked up habits and rules that produce outrightly wrong and nonsensical french.

on french being vulgar latin, i agree. but bear in mind that the vulgar latin spoken in the provinces are akin to creole (and other patois/pidgin dialects) of modern mainstream languages: they’re amalgamations of many languages, the mainstream languages furnishing words and phrases where necessary. barely do they supply grammar. that said french, unlike other romance languages, demonstrates a strong germanic syntax structure, which has persisted over centuries of iterations of the language. the overwhelming evidence suggests that french is germanic (both in syntax structure and vocabulary). it’s incorrect to assume that spanish and italian, for example, are pro-drop when in latin the so-called pro-drop is the default. intelligisne? is what you ask your interlocutor, not tu intelligsne? in french an explicit subject is required, without which the sentence is nonsensical and grammatically incorrect.

french is arguably romance but it is germanic too, and in no small way.
