> The Westermarck effect, also known as reverse sexual imprinting, is a psychological hypothesis that states that people tend not to be attracted to peers with whom they lived with like siblings before the age of six. This hypothesis was first proposed by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo.

> you're also supposed to have a reasonable idea of what it is you want to do as a career, so as to educate yourself for it.

Yeah, really. I keep two careers in adulthood. I started the one around the age of 8 and the other around the age of 15. I find it insane people aren't already into their careers by the time high school comes to an end.

Or, should I say, I find it insane that we as a society create artificial barriers that keep most people away from careers until they are quite old. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have people in my life that were willing to push those barriers aside when I was in my learning prime.

By the time you're 18, 19, 20 you've got better things to do than educate yourself for a career. It can be done, but optimally it is much too late in life.
Something like this?

It's hard to imagine that there's a large group who are thinking that their lives will be so much better once abortion is banned and people are no longer allowed to dress as whichever gender they like.

The irony about the economic issues is that tax rates and wealth redistribution were so much higher after WW2, and economic inequality was quite a bit less than today. The domination of right wing politics has been increasing inequality for decades, so why would anyone think that moving further to the right would help?
Denmark is a by a small margin a net importer of electricity, highly dependent on wind and imports. The total wind production seems to be about 6 GW on the best days, and quite tiny on the worst days, so it seems nice that the european grid can replace up to 25% of the the missing wind from the UK.
Then I focused on the wrong thing, but the remaining facts aren't reassuring either. Long term stability was already a concern when they wanted to declare this a permanent storage, failing to report structural deficiencies when they occurred circa 2007 and as I now found out twice the expected rates of leukemia in the area between 2002 and 2008 while other types of cancer weren't afected, but of course a connection to the waste storage could not be established.

AoT compiled binaries and libraries are fundamental building blocks for distributing software and running it quickly without latency.

Julia itself calls AoT binaries, for example when calling Linear Algebra functions [1].

Chris Rackauckas's team had to leverage AoT compilation (i.e. system images) to reduce TTFX on DifferentialEquations.jl [2].

PyTorch and Tensorflow run without TTFX because they use AoT compiled binaries. What's more, most end users don't have to compile anything on their computer--they can simply download the binaries and libraries.

For small scripts, yes you can simply distribute the package and have the user recompile on the fly. But imagine if your operating system had to recompile every time you turned the computer off. Or if an autonomous vehicle had to recompile an unseen patch of code while in motion.

Info is the best documentation system so far.

Use 's' for search (or '/').

Try 'm' for menu,'i' for index, or 'g' for go-to node. 't' for top.

Info manuals are like HTML websites except actually navigable. No menu on the left that contains 10,000 hits for the search term. It's paginated, yet searchable across pages. Well written Info docs (anything core GNU) are indexed so that pressing 'i' usually gets you there.

For example, ever try to find something in the Python docs? Almost impossible and the HTML search is useless. Using Info format, you can bind together related information that's spread across separate parts of the documentation. And that's using a converted version, not something intended for Info. (Sphinx has Info as an output option.)

It feels like people's reactions to Info is often, "I don't know this, therefore it's dumb". That's a shame because it's hand-down the best format. "Modern" development could learn a few things from it.
I couldn't disagree more. The first year is when you learn how to work at that specific company, on that specific software. The subsequent years are when you refine your understanding and decision-making by building on top of your first year's learning. It's when you learn which of the ideas you learned actually work and how they might go wrong. Being a "walking textbook" doesn't make you a good programmer. Thinking about how to build things, building them, and then taking responsibility for them -- these are skills that take time and sustained effort to develop.
Pass the "Wahoo" moment, I kind of see the problem with this 3D-modeling-from-a sentence :

Do those have any ARM devices to offer? The question was about ARM particularly. Of course Intel runs Linux, apart from some peripherals.

Is the spirit of Mastodon that the site, rather than the user, decides what the user sees? That wouldn't make them much better than the commercial platforms. I absolutely want users to be in control of their feed, so I welcome projects like these.

(I'm not actually on Mastodon but on Friendica, but I follow a lot of people on Mastodon.)
Nobody with a Computer Science or especially a Software Engineering degree should have felt for it but I know a number of good developers with a more varied background. Some of them inevitably became team leaders etc. By varied backgrounds I mean Philosophy, Agricultural Sciences, Graphic Design. Some of them know very well how a database work, some admit to never have learned SQL, go figure all the theory and the rationale behind some technologies. Give them some blog posts that make the job done without foreign keys and they won't even know what a foreign key is until it's 2015 and people started to move to PostgreSQL.
You don’t mention if you have US income tax liability. US citizens and permanent residents must file and pay tax on all income from any source, regardless of tax residency elsewhere.

Under US tax law an LLC with one owner is a pass-thru entity. Income gets reported on your 1040 schedule C.

I don’t know Thai tax law. Getting a work permit or permanent residency that would make a foreigner subject to Thai taxes is complicated and uncommon.

And I am afraid I haven't broken your streak. I know what Django is and what it usually entails.

I'm not sure what "monolith" adds, though. Simply saying "Django" would communicate the exact same thing, no? Is there a "Django non-monolith" that it could be confused with?

Per your definition above, it seems there is no software that is not a monolith.
The problem is that there isn't much more we can do to bring down the cost in tunnelling - there has been incentive for many, many decades to get the cost down to the minimum possible, and that's basically what happened. New materials and things might make small improvements going forward, but it's an extremely mature industry.

That's why the Boring Company hasn't made any progress on this grand vision - they seemed to set out by assuming there were easy wins to be had (seemingly not consulting any actual experts in the field), and then there just... weren't... Basically the only thing they have been able to do is to make smaller tunnels that lack any kind of emergency egress - which is kind of important in real mass transit systems where people would rather be able to get out if there was a fire.
Nice! This is a positive trend. Great to see some additional options for compiling Julia code.
Specially at the same time when we are seeing gender-ratios going the other way. For some reason we are not working hard to aim it squarely to match general population...
Thank you, have you seen whether there was any consideration of the obvious naming flaw? Don't see anything in these links

Because the market we're talking about is not the broader messaging ecosphere, it's "texting". To the US consumer, Whatsapp and the like are not texting. Frankly it makes total sense that this is the way it is in the US, because most people do not want to waste their time using a messaging app that can only message a fraction of people. They want an app that can message 100% of people. Apple Messages can do that, as can every other texting app, because the lowest common denominator technology (SMS, soon to be RCS especially once Apple ships it) is supported on every single handset. You never need to guess if a phone number is on Whatsapp or Signal or Telegram. You can just send a text to it.

This is pretty different to the international dynamic, as MMS often comes at a surcharge in many non-US markets, but here unlimited MMS has been included in most plans for a very long time, so there's not even a "hey, you are costing me money" stigma involved like there was in the bad old days decades ago.
I don't think energy for air pumps is anywhere near the biggest problem for Hyperloop. There are other far hairier engineering challenges. That said, the efficiency of pumps is not at all linear with air pressure - 100 Pa is significantly better than near vacuum.

The other misconception here is the assumption that the entire length needs to be maintained at 100 Pa. This is not necessary. Having a pressure gradient is fine because it isn't going fast near the terminals anyway.
I'm not saying what you're saying is invalid, but I do have empathy for people that don't exist. It's called fiction and I find it quite enjoyable.
In which format are the notes stored? Many of us have been bitten by vendor lock in before, so we prefer our notes tobe in simple human readable formats that can also be read in 30 years when your app (more likely than not) doesn't exist anymore.
Intel modems were measurable worse.
One telecoms blog used a proper testset to measure 10dB worse sensitivity across the board.

And this was even before being slower even with strong signals.

So slower and noticably worse range. Modems are hard and take a long time to have small things ironed out here and there.
Small things add up.
The website fails to explain what it is and why users should care. It’s not a very good home page in that respect, as the point of a home page for a business is to engage in seconds by answering those two questions.

It’s similarity and lack of structural UX makes it so that besides loudly being AI, AI, AI!!! it is confusingly similar to https://x.company/

Google needs to establish a leadership position in the AI market and make it clear that they are deeply focused and executing better than competitors. This isn’t helping.
"OpenDAL is a data access layer that allows users to easily and efficiently retrieve data from various storage services in a unified way."

Generally agree, but this one seems clear enough.
Do NOT do this too much, though. I did this in my last relationship and it turned into resentment from me, while she walked all over me, knowing I would say sorry for everything. It wasn’t her fault, I should’ve protected my values more, but this is a slippery slope. However, my next partner in my opinion should take this and say something like “no, this is not your fault. Let’s work on it”.

It could go both ways. I can never change though; saying sorry is too simple for me
For me it was STOS on the Atari ST after seeing BBC BASIC at school.
Apparently it couldn't. Shocker. I could have told you that for way less money I'm guessing.

Reminds me of when Bloomberg trained their LLM and decided to leave financial data in chronologically sorted order during training which, of course, doesn't work and they have to restart with a proper shuffling. Like, what? I thought these people were loaded with hyper genius ployglot quants who will save you millions with their supreme predictive powers and math skills? Nah, just normal mistake making engineers that cost way more. So it goes.
And also gambling and personal loan ads, these are so wild.

The fact is, when comparing across all countries in the world, that the harsher the conditions, the more kids there were. Do people really believe that their ancestors lived in better times for raising children than currently? It is precisely because they didn't that they had so many, as they needed labor for agriculture or to make sure at least a few survived since so many would die before the age of 5.

Now, I am not having children either, but I will not deny that even in the best of countries, when controlling for all of these factors, people still aren't having children simply because they have no want or need of having them. That's it, that's the reality. Now it is an uncomfortable truth for many, but many people nowadays, me included, just don't want them, for no particular reason at all.
Quote From a classic:

You might be under the impression that what makes you qualified for various positions in software development is primarily your technical acumen and ability to work with other technically-capable engineers.

You’d be wrong.

While a certain minimum of capability is required to do your day-to-day work, what your value really consists of is in grinding yourself against the piercing pincers of elusive bugs and razor-wire bundles of bullshit code until something resembling progress is made. You are not a problem-solver, you are a problem-endurer.

Interesting! I never thought about this, thank you for sharing.

What kind of turn-around time would be practical? Could you point me to any typeset mathematical braille that would be an example of a solution to your problem? Is Nemeth the only important standard, or are others important for you too?

I'm wondering if it's practical to set this up as back-office work here in Vietnam. There are some outlying provinces here where there are very few job opportunities. Job opportunities for the blind also round down to zero here (e.g. I could hire for proofreading). Maybe there's room to do something cool here.
I was trying to find something about that, but wasn't able to. I would be very curious if someone else can find meeting minutes or mailing list posts where they discuss it.
Is it x86 only?

Looks like we're starting to see the fruits of Google's labor since turning the dial to eleven after OpenAI stole the show. I have no horse in this race but I'm guessing within a year Google has market share (mind share?) parity with OpenAI.

The scuttlebutt was related to the Californian high speed rail project. Would that really take a significant number of cars off the road? And what was the expected completion date? My gut says that it would have an inconsequential impact to Tesla, but I'd be interested if people have numbers that make this theory hold water.

Many GNU programs have man pages that don't have everything in them.

If you've read manuals for, say, GNU Make, GNU Awk, GNU Libc or GCC online, you've read info documentation, even though you might not know what that is, and have never used the info program.

The GNU Awk man page is about 1600-something lines long; it doesn't compare to the manual.

The GNU Make man page renders to under 300 lines. Not the manual, obviously; you will learn next to nothing about GNU Make from that page.

If you install the GNU Make documentation, you can use "info make". I sometimes do that, but most of the time I go for the all-in-one-HTML-page online version. I mean, come on, you can just Ctrl-F search the whole page easily; it's a no brainer unless you need regex. Speaking of regex, the info pager searches are regex and you often need to backslash-escape characters when looking for code-related glyphs.

There is a way to read info pages all in one. Here is the trick, are you ready?

info <whatever> | less

that's it. Be gone, clumsy up/down/next/prev navigation, and awkward searches.
It's amazing how many people seem to not see further up the road than the cars directly in front of them. Even when driving tall SUVs or trucks.

My favorite scenario is when someone super impatient pulls around (often suddenly without signaling) a car not noticing:

* The car in front of them is actually going the same speed as the car in front of them

* The lane they were all in is actually going faster than the lane they just pulled into

* Everyone is about to pass a slow person up ahead in the newly selected lane

Person predictably hits the gas to race ahead only to get stuck behind the slow car while the cars they thought they were passing proceed ahead in the lane they just left.

Sometimes frustration and increasingly eratic behavior ensues.

Never gets old :D
Now point your gas furnace exhaust at your heat pump.

There are two areas where such tunnels make sense. You are either going underwater or you are going through mountain. That is you need to it to go through an obstacle.

As a former neuroscientist, I welcome attempts to add more biologically-inspired complexity to the relatively simple computer-based NNs.

That being said, I suspect the authors still need to take a Neuroscience 101 class. There's any number of neuronal features missing from NNs that would be more interesting to incorporate before looking towards glial cells like astrocytes. E.g., different neurotransmitters, G proteins, gap junctions/electrical synapses, pyramidal neurons, really all large-scale and long-range organizational structures in brain.
RPM has a cool feature, autoprov and autoreq: lookingat your to-be-packaged files, it will check the shared libraries in it and create the list of the requirements and provided capabilities. (note that with RPMs, packages can depend not only other packages but on provided libraries too

That said, unless you have a very specific reason to, do not attempt to package stuff yourself with spec files. Just use a tool like fpm to do the heavy lifting:

I think it's not that you don't stumble, it's just that you avoid them concsiously or subconsciously.

For me it's almost 20 years now but the reflex is still "check the man quickly, then go to full html docs if necessary". It developed very early and then I never applied enough force to break it.

When thinking of my early Linux usage experience I guess the primary reasons why the reflex developed were the following:

1) In the beginning you barely understand what's happening and turn to docs very frequently, often feeling desperation by that point. Figuring out a complex interface in this state of mind feels extremely frustrating, because you're already in process of figuring out something else. Man/less interface is very limited but it's also comforting in its simplicity.

2) When you finally subside to the "info xxx should give you access to the complete manual" instruction it shows you the same man page but in a frustrating interface which feels like a cruel joke (you're desperate to solve something, remember). I didn't have doc packages installed and I had no way of knowing that at the time. I still think it's a horrible usability solution and if "info" showed the install instructions instead the story could have been different.
Isn't this just vouchers or coupons with extra steps? Locking money to a purpose has been done at casinos for a long time; "but now with tech"
