I've definitely seem benefits from working in open plan. Sometimes it's helpful to overhear what others are doing because maybe they're lacking some information or maybe that thing has already been done elsewhere. Does a fresh graduate with no experience really want to be in an environment where everyone is shut in an office?

Equally, sometimes it's better to be quiet. Sometimes, quiet can be at home but sometimes homes are not quiet or uninterrupted.

Flexibility would be great, but I think a private office will always be seen as more prestigious, so those with that facility are unlikely go give it up so sit in a cube / open plan with the team, even where that would actually be beneficial.

You should also add this:

from __future__ import annotations

Then you will not get this error (NameError: name 'Sequence' is not defined) because it will not need the reference to `Sequence` for the annotation but the annotation is simply a string.

Using `if TYPE_CHECKING` is also useful when you want to speed up the module load time by not importing unnecessary modules (unnecessary at module load time).

And then, also to resolve import cycles, where you still want to annotate the function argument types.

One problem though: If this is a type/object which is not needed for module load time (there it's just used to annotate some function arg type), but which will be needed inside the function, type checkers and IDEs (e.g. PyCharm) will not show any problem, but then at runtime, you will the NameError once it tries to use the type/object.

Example module:

from __future__ import annotations

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
import torch

def agi_model(query: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
torch.setup_secret_agi()
...

This module will load just fine, because `torch` is only needed for type checking at module load time. However, once you call this `agi_model` function, it will fail because `torch` is actually unknown at runtime. However, no IDE will show any problem with this code. (Edit: Eclipse/PyDev handles it correctly now, see answer below.)

Then you would add another `import torch` inside that `agi_model` function. However, then the IDE might even complain that this hides the outer scope `torch`.
"Hold the handrail" is thoroughly ignored so the effect is going to be zero. It's even more ridiculous when you realise that it is simply impossible to do in a crowd, anyway.

Either it's the nanny-state gone mad (with people trying to justify their jobs), or it's the lawyers who advised that "that way they can't sue us". Either is plausible in 21st century London.
I just used postgres to build my search engine and it also helps with the last 2 questions. Keeping the content context consistent helps with the first. Unscatter.com for example is content shared only in the last 30 days. Helps with keeping my operating costs under $50 a month too.

I wish I had time to mess with it more. Job and life has taken over. My first goal with AI would be to use it to for key word and phrase extraction and also analyzing all the links I pull in hourly to see if there is a larger story I could make visible.
Absolutely, I am so glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. Microsoft does not understand domain names.

They use 1drv.ms as the domain in OneDrive emails, and sometimes it almost looks like the .ms ccTLD belongs to them - it very much doesn't, anyone can register a .ms domain.

windows.net being an Azure domain that third parties can have content under is fitting.

It sometimes looks like they want their users to be phished.

Microsoft is a smart company though, I really hope they can sort this out.
Is this https://ipads.se.sjtu.edu.cn/_media/publications/powerinfer-... related? Could it be the origin?
I think this idea makes some sense, in a mixed-traffic world where some vehicles are autonomous and others are not, some indication that a vehicle is driving autonomously is useful information to everyone around them. Additional situational information, provided it is not overly intrusive or overwhelming is generally beneficial.

As for the colour, clearly Mercedes requested Turquoise for brand reasons.
I wonder if there is a better colour to be adopted as a standard?
External indicator lights of any kind seem like something that needs to be standardised before we end up with a whole mess of different colours on the roads causing confusion.

I'm wondering how I could figure out that I was the victim of this. Perhaps if the booking was cancelled almost immediately after being booked.

Wouldn't the workaround for airbnb to be having a member of staff 'approve' the decision (where the member of staff has thousands to approve a day,and understands that their job is to just click approve all the time).
> I did not say it was justified. But you can't seriously be wondering why people don't typically get arrested for things they say in private conversations. The question answers itself.

The point is people get arrested in the UK for mundane things, when they shouldn't. Just because it's public doesn't make it arrestable. People could stand in a park on a soapbox and not be arrested.

> There is nothing particularly notable about the UK in this regard, either worldwide or compared to other European countries.

The problem I have is that in the UK what constitutes hatespeech has been spread very, very thin. I've seen numerous stories about police showing up to someone's door in the UK for a tweet, for 'hatespeech'.

I've read no such stories of that happening in Australia, NZ, Canada, or western European countries. So saying it's common in countries that have some form of free speech without it being as strong as the first amendment doesn't seem to fly. It seems to happen far more frequently in the UK.

And the UK has recently started jailing protestors for their speech also. Not for hate speech or making violent threats. Free speech in the UK might just be the lowest of any first world country, and certainly of any English speaking country.
Isn't your pricing a little of? The free offer seems really good, but the $29 to "just" remove branding feels really high, if you don't need to other stuff in that bundle, especially compared to the $12 as montaigne.io.
Read the first few words of the First Amendment. The first one, even.

There are lots of laws that may apply here. The First Amendment isn’t one of them.
The Punk scene wasn't hard to find - you could see them all over the place. Hard to get into, sure. You had to know someone already in the scene who could intro you. But that's the same with any social group.

I look around now and I don't see any counter-culture. Maybe the Flat Earthers or the anti-vax crowd. But it's not based around music and fashion like it used to be.

The one I have a hard time explaining well enough for new folks to get is: "It is not your job to write code."

We use code as a tool to solve problems. Code is the mechanism of achieving our goals, not the goal in and of itself. If we are coding just for code's sake, we'll deliver the wrong results. We need to be focused on solving problems, and if we aren't sure what problem our code is solving, we need to stop coding and figure that out.
Presumably these studies have been done recently, not two centuries ago, so I'm not sure how useful they are in determining that Orthodox states are "more corrupt."
And like religion that belief is based on social memes, not on science.

I'm sorry to have to point this out - the story is lovely, and your comment is intended positively - but the pilots were men. The scientists who worked with the birds, and led the expedition, are women, but they were passengers, not aviators.
TypeScript is also interpreted, and does type checking without running code. Their argument is very weird.

Gleaned from various tickets on the JetBrains bug tracker:

You can't uninstall it, you can only disable it. That's because it's a built in plugin, those can't be disabled without breaking incremental upgrades (which personally I don't use anyway).

And like many others here, my corp explicitly forbids ANY use of ANY 3rd party LLM technologies at work. It's a disciplinary matter. So JB forcing something on people that means they could potentially lose their jobs for using IntelliJ is just monumentally stupid.

There is a workaround which is to manually delete the plugin, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-1760/Can-not-remove... But as above, that breaks incremental upgrades.
Very accurate emulation experience here :)

"What do we say to the God of Unit Testing? — Not today()!"

Stub out the calls responsible for reading system clock, then set it deterministically, and advance it programmatically where a test depends on the passage of time. This works really well, reads really well in the source, and allows to test general cases and edge cases equally easily.
I bought automated blackout roller blinds at ikea (FYRTUR) and connected them to my home automation software via zigbee. But you can probably find alternatives that do wifi.

They are not super quiet, but someone made an alternative firmware with less voltage. I have not tried it.

Mine go slowly up a few minutes before my alarm goes up. If I change my alarm time, the roller time also changes.

Not sure if you can clean them.
0. Buy archive paper and a printer and ink/toner that are certified for 200 years.
Print out the specs of all the file formats you store. And of the filesystem, too.

1. If the data can be in the open, use archive.org. They assume a cost of 2 USD/GB, so please donate an appropriate amount.

2. As other commenters proposed, use M-DISC. But you must deposit M-Disc reader(s) and the hardware to drive those, and better be redundant.

3. Use endurance SDCards. They can be read (and written) by just 4 wires. Use UDF as filesystem. Print out the SDCard specs. Make sure you and your descendants put power to the SDCards every 5 years or so to refresh the cells.

What do you mean? Where is the cycle?
Is it really easier to scale a Rails or Node app than Postgres (Scala might be an exception)? And how many pieces of software actually ever reach the kind of scale where database is the bottleneck? For many use cases, biz logic in the database will absolutely smoke doing it on server side due to query planner optimizations.
You can swap the batteries at any time (at their stations) and it takes minutes. The depreciation is not a factor which is why it is an interesting model.

The numerical value of "people on reddit" didn't changes,
however the active posters and creative people started
migrating to other networks(e.g. Lemmy).
The larger subs(100k+) quality has declined

Its not like Digg pissing off everyone, mobile posters are
perfectly content with consuming reddit but
content creators have declined in numbers.

I thought the same. The step to "renting to attend a protest" is miniscule. And they'll sell it, of course, as a "safety enhancing measure".
Why wouldn't you want to be the C*O? They don't carry any personal responsibility from breaking these laws. They have probably earned shittons from making the illegal system and will continue to get obscene pay after this too.

Nothing will change until there's real personal repercussions.

I was wrong indeed, this is technically called zero-shot prompting.

Zero-shot prompting here means without an example, i.e. "show me a panda on a skate". The opposite would be few-shot prompting, "write me a limerick like these 5 examples".
Are there any interviewers that don’t violate these pet peeves?
It's nice to see more and more open-source E2E-encrypted note taking apps. A couple years ago I thought no one really cared about this, and now they seem to be popping up everywhere. This one particularly reminds me of Standard Notes.

Personally I've moved on to a privately hosted Git repo of plain Markdown files which I currently modify with Obsidian (although I'd prefer an open-source version, and Logseq doesn't quite scratch the itch like Obsidian does) - because I realised what I needed is like a self-hosted Notion-like alternative which I can trust, and Obsidian with all its plugins does exactly what I need.

The only major downside is that taking notes on another device and syncing them without merge conflicts is still a pain.
Here, in case you don't want to read the entire piece, here's the conclusion it's all there to lead up to:

Today, we have become citizens of a global, Brezhnevian capitalist state, which, in its failure to provide an inspiring frontier—gone are the days of Kennedy’s “New Frontiers” or Obama’s “Change We Can Believe In”—has slowly ossified and wrapped back upon itself. My feeling is that all the troubles we’ve been witnessing over the last decade—Trumpism, Brexit, the rise of nationalism all over Europe, Russia’s virulent imperialism—are attempts to disrupt not just the dominant political systems, but the zone of eternal repetition.

(And when the author mentions a Brezhnevian state, bear in mind he actually grew up in one: he knows whereof he speaks.)
I've grown up in an abusive house hold, so I'm familiar with gaslighting. Also, I'm not trying to call the author schizophrenic, or insane.

My mention about the author benefitting from therapy was mostly around some of the exaggerated emotional reactions the author expressed; they felt too guttural for what they were reacting to.

On a second read through, I actually don't think they need therapy. I think they were very intentional in their populist tone and exaggerated style to elicit emotional responses in the reader (as any good writer does, I suppose).

I agree with a lot what was said, but also a few of the claims feel only critical for the sake of being cynical (eg some of the underground posters and the contactless commentary mainly). So, it doesn't do the article as a whole any favours.
Hopefully that is a fad that won't go away that easily. Walled gardens holding users hostage because they would lose all their friends if they switched are a real problem.

I think Notesnook and Obsidian are on a pretty different focus. Notesnook specifically focuses on end-to-end encryption synchronization.
Also, while they save all the expenses on staff, meaning, gradually destroying hotel staff jobs, too.
Airbnb: all the price of a regular hotel without the staff or attention.
But the question is concerning studies done recently, not centuries ago. So I think the only way to determine if Orthodoxy leads to "more corrupt" states would be to analyze one that wasn't something un-Orthodox (e.g., socialist Yugoslavia) for the last half-century.
Obsidian + syncthing seems to work fast and reliable enough

Asiana crashed due to poor FMA mode awareness.
I am not sure either, but I wouldn't rule it out either. Caesaropapism was probably, on the net, a negative shaping force in societies which indulged in it.

In the world of Islam, the Shi'a system of ayatollahs is structurally fairly close to Christian Orthodox Churches, and the Iranian theocracy which builds on it is corrupt beyond belief.

That said, it probably makes sense to study why some countries are somewhat less corrupt or how they managed to keep corruption in check. Corruption seems to be fairly widespread across space and time, one of the universal blights of mankind.
This was a huge issue for us second wave feminists from the 60’s and 70’s. It seems like the younger generations don’t really care about it any more, as they seem to have other (bigger?) fish to fry.
This is more like a slideshow, than a video, on my M1 Max.
I understand but compare this to what else we've got.

Apple seems happy to throw everything out and start over every few years. I would say they've conditioned the Apple fanbase to always want changes, even if they're not to the benefit of end users. I'm not sure how older software fare on macOS but when I used macOS for ~10 yrs... it was always something new that everyone should be using. Or use the software that is packaged with the OS. The push is stronger every year to move to iCloud or some sort of managed platform, which means an ever-increasing amount of lock-in.

On the Linux side of the house, you're bound to run into lib incompatibilities. There's ever an ongoing churn of breaking changes on Linux. So, unless someone has been maintaining packages for your specific distribution, you might be out of luck unless you're technically inclined.

On mobile OSes, you fare even worse. Running older software is a herculean task on that front. Then there's the never ending cycle of in-app purchases and subscriptions you have to tangle with.

Being on Windows, for all of its warts, is a much-needed departure from the above. I can still run games I played back in 1997 as well as most software from that time. With WSL2, you get the added benefit of running a Linux environment alongside your Windows one now.
I agree with the general sentiment, but isn't this just a consequence of Capitalism and free markets working as they are supposed to?
Both are great examples of trying to cover up bad UX with words.

Any time there is "helpful" commentary like that, whether in a tube station or in software, it tries to make individual consumers responsible for what is in fact a design flaw.
For one, loud parties might upset neighbors who might coordinate politically to restrict or even ban Airbnb in their area.
Professionals should stop putting up with unprofessional tools and languages. This? This whole mess is not professional. If you want types, do not use python. Python is not a typed language. You can't just bolt on a type system, as is being live demonstrated here.
Why would it matter if the execs are exposed? This stuff carries at most very minor repercussions for them.
Parties are not the problem. Damages, illegality and annoying the neighbours are what they should be trying to detect. It's a shame that people planning a small get together with friends should have to suffer because some idiots like to trash places.
I agree, of course, but it's not enough force.

The one thing these settlements are good for is to make the employees and customers of Google aware of the fact, that despite being too big to fail and having their hands in a lot of pockets (not judging here, this' the way of capitalism), _the attack surface is actually gigantic and impossible to defend_.

Corporations have more weak spots than the average skinny-fat human who's never been in a fight.
Yesn't, there aren't many tools for it. The closest you will get for a generic GUI app is various window managers/ DM for Wayland/ X11 that run in a "kiosk mode" + autologin. This way the OS (is supposed to) just boots and opens your app in effectively Fullscreen.

Not to be nit-picky, but E2EE is not zero-knowledge. It's entirely possible for the data to be E2EE while the provider has all knowledge, partial knowledge or a little bit of knowledge of what you are transferring.

I have seen services market E2EE while not being truly zero knowledge, so it's important to watch out for that sneaky marketing lingo.
