Even if they aren't boy racers, everyone I have ever rode in a Tesla with enjoys demonstrating the acceleration and autopilot. The buyers are the types of people who enjoy these features. This is a riskier driver than the mindset of someone who doesn't care about those things and bought something else. They see their cars as something to demonstrate, something to experiment with, something to test the bleeding edge of technology with.

When was the last time you saw someone in a late model Buick doing hard launches and showing off the lane-keep-assist?
I see two concerns here:

- inputs/outputs being high volume: the inputs/outputs that are large are often also things that don't change over the course of a project (e.g. a dataset or a model). So you don't really need to cache the object itself, just a (typically short string) immutable reference to it. As long as the object can be looked up at runtime, everything's fine;

- detecting changes in data: content hashing is the general way in which you can tell if a result changed; using `joblib.dump` and then hashing the resulting string provides a good starting implementation, though certainly there are some corner cases to be aware of.

Both of these approaches are available/used in mandala (https://github.com/amakelov/mandala; disclosure: I'm the author), which uses content hashing to tell when data (or even code/code dependencies) have changed, and gives you a generic caching decorator for functions which can then look up large objects by reference; this is the way I used it for e.g. my mechanistic interpretability work, which is often of the form one big model + lots of analyses producing tiny artifacts based on it.

Thanks. I've been getting back into the Apple Music app a bit - I have a large library of CDs that I've digitised too, but I've discovered so much on Spotify over the years that I think I'd miss that side of it. I don't really have time to read music websites (and despite reading Melody Maker and NME quite a bit when I was younger) I find most of it overblown.

Like a sibling comment, I now also buy CDs and LPs of albums realeased in the pre-streaming era, depending on which format the album was made for. But I always immediately rip the CDs into FLAC because I'd forgotten how brittle they can be in terms of a slight scratch ruining one or more tracks.

And for more recent stuff that I really like, even if I hear it on Spotify, I try to buy it on Bandcamp or similar, so there's some cash going directly to the artist.

What all that doesn't solve for me is discovery, which I find is significantly better on Spotify than the Apple Music service. (Or the worse audio quality of Spotify compared to Tidal - my test album is always Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin. There's no hiding when it comes to the synth hi-hats at the beginning of Xtal.)

Strictly speaking, you're correct -- but it also highlights that not all censorship is wrong or bad. It can very easily be a valid exercise of free speech rights.

Twitter (or any social media) moderating people's posts isn't wrong, for instance. Nobody's rights are being infringed when they do this. You might disagree with their moderation policies, but that's a different thing altogether.

Legally speaking in the US, it's only censorship when the government is doing it.
In all fairness, the platform is in beta so I'm not surprised it's still lacking some features. From what I gathered on their discord, it looks like token usage is coming really soon. I'm not sure about 2FA though.
They really should just be using drones here. They can probably do it for much less money, maybe one center in the country could handle remote piloting needs for most of the cities that need this. The helicopters are just used for crimes/get aways in progress anyways.
It doesn't need to be either or, you know. Or even those answers at all. Or a mix.

Question is: where can you start to make positive and effective changes? The answer almost certainly includes education and preventing people from falling into poverty. You can fight and deter crime at the same time. You probably need all of those, but I'm pretty sure fighting crime alone isn't very effective.
In Norway, the parental leave is managed by the state so it’s not up to the company. The state will pay your salary, up to a limit. Some companies will pay the difference.

Please note that you need to work during at least 6 of the last 10 months before the parental leave, which isn’t great. But you get 49 weeks of parental leave, which is great.

Totally true, but that doesn't change the cost/benefit ratio of actually using the product for professional work. Masking is one of those fundamentally necessary tools for efficiently making professional looking photo composites and even more so for regular graphic design type work. Doing hobby work it would definitely be less of an issue.
It's a safety issue when the plane is getting low on fuel and the crew are fatigued from a long international flight, and the only reason they're being told no is because of policies designed to maximize airport/airline profits.

Controllers had hours of notice the flight would need an ILS approach. They petulantly ignored it because ILS approaches take up more space in the pattern, which means less landings per hour, which means less profit for the airport operator.

In the EU visual separation at night is not permitted but it's routinely done in the US because airports and airlines can run more flights in and out of the airport due to closer separation distances and it also reduces controller labor.

Airlines are pushing the system to the breaking point.

It depends on how many data you're working on. This groupBy is useful for filters in data tables.

If you have to download a zillion of records and filter them, client side filtering is a bad idea. If you have a few thousands of them, it could possibly be the faster solution overall.
What do you suppose their "agenda" is, other than encouraging you not to be condescendingly dismissive of a whole group based on your limited sample size?
Anyone know if `keyBy` will also be supported? I suppose it'd be pretty trivial to take a `groupBy` and make it `keyBy`, but then again it's pretty trivial to implement `groupBy` from scratch.

That‘s closer to keyBy than groupBy.

I'll mirror a sibling comment. For me your mentality is the rookie mentality. I too once believed in strict unit tests, as well as a strict differentiation between them and other kinds of tests (end to end, integration, etc).

Then I joined a project where they were just starting to add tests to an existing project, and the lead developer was adamant on the following philosophy: "Virtually all tests will run the full program, and we'll mock out whatever slows the tests down (e.g. network access, etc)". I whined but I had to comply. After a year of this, I give him credit for changing my mindset. The majority of bugs we found simply would not have been found with unit tests. On the flip side, almost none of the unit test failures were false alarms (function signature changed, etc).

Since then, I've dropped categorizing tests as unit tests vs other types of tests. Examine the project at hand, and write automated tests - preferably fast ones. Focus on testing features, and not functions.
When Nayib Bukele ignored the "experts" and locked up nearly 2% of El Salvador's population, not only did the homicide rate fall off a cliff—economic growth also increased. (Bukele also worked hard to woo foreign investors, without which this would not have been possible; but those investors only felt confident in investing due to the decrease in crime.)
Sys Admins and OS Image teams get expensive quickly. So does software licensing. When we moved to AWS we saved a fortune - and no, it wasn't in server costs.

There is no single "front runner". The front runner is entirely dependent on the riding. That may describe the front runner in one particular riding, but there are 337 others where that is probably not the case.
That would also mean it's really incredibly difficult to declare a fuel emergency around SFO, since Oakland and San Jose and (I guess, if it were really urgent) Moffat Field are all a five minute flight away, right?

Serious question... What does this actually free you from? Is the occasional adjustment to keep in your lane that much? It's not like cruise control where after holding my foot in the same position for hours my ankle is damn near locked up, and the occasional adjustment helps keep focus.

I just can't figure out what lane centering is supposed to free me up to do instead.

There's also a tradeoff between implementing features and controlling stability that Adobe regularly gets wrong.

Oh yes, I agree.

I remember me running into the problem of internal dependencies when extracting parts of it into a non-ESM/non-build project some years ago...

Like, the internal consistency of the library probably benefits, and with tree-shaking it works reasonably well but it is still a poster example of DRY vs KISS...

It has its benefits, but its API surface can be annoying, too. When I encounter it, I often have to think for a second and look at the docs, e.g. some cryptic xor or map function with three parameters, one of which being an optional config object.

OTOH, it can be great to have a well-tested implementation at hand for all kinds of higher-order functions, like throttle, debounce etc

Nice, the JS standard library is gradually getting functions I take for granted in ClojureScript. :)

I noticed this part in the proposal

groupBy calls callbackfn once for each element in items, in ascending order, and constructs a new Object of arrays. Each value returned by callbackfn is coerced to a property key

Does JS allow arbitrary objects as keys? I am asking because `group-by` in ClojureScript is quite flexible. e.g. you can find anagrams like so

(def words ["meat" "mat" "team" "mate" "eat" "tea"])

(group-by set words) ; set is a function that creates sets from collections

;; => {#{\a \e \m \t} ["meat" "team" "mate"]
;; #{\a \m \t} ["mat"]
;; #{\a \e \t} ["eat" "tea"]}

I am wondering how one could translate this using Object.groupBy as specified in the proposal.
> For me, personally, it was quite depressing & disillusioning to recognize that there is no "inner ring" where the people populating it are magically "better" (more rational, of stronger character, whatever) than the people outside, and that in fact "innerness" is more often inversely correlated with those qualities.

Not in my experience, real decision makers do behave somewhat better, on average, then the median person, if you tally up all their virtues and vices.

It's not a very steep improvement, but it is noticeable.

Of course the median person will likely never meet more then a few, so even a somewhat lower fraction of bad apples can easily cause a similarly negative perception.

a five-star system, but with stars instead of labels.

"Absolutely awful service" / "dissatisfied" / "basically what I expected" / "positively surprised" / "incredibly excellent"

This way, most customers would click "basically what I expected", making 3 star the default.

Adjusting all reviews based on the general mean and standard deviation after the fact makes sense, though.
That's averaged in with a lot of people who don't smoke at all.

The other reply mentions that cash is not a good way to help such people, not that they shouldn't be helped. Are you sure you're not reading things into people's replies?
Communicating to a controller that they are close to a fuel emergency is not a threat, it is good practice. People have died because their pilots did not communicate their fuel situation sufficiently to their controllers [1].

This was communicated in this instance, and the controller maintained that to land at SFO, they would have to risk running out of fuel, since the controller refused to give a time-window for landing, or to declare an emergency.

It is interesting to see which counties the population change has come from. My prior would have been that Manhattan (i.e. "New York County") has dropped a lot, while Queens and especially Kings County (i.e. Brooklyn) maybe even grew. But the data shows all counties (excl Staten Island / Richmond County) dropping ~5% over 2 years. HOWEVER... in Manhattan all that drop happened in 2021 and population actually grew ~1.5% in 2022... while in counties kept dropping ~2%/year. Certainly feels like that in Manhattan today...
I agree! But even with the best education and social support, a small minority will still turn to victimizing others, and no progress is possible until they are neutralized.

Is it? It is a place where a public conversation happens. But I'm not sure that is the only public conversation, and I think fewer and fewer people are paying attention to it over time.

As if the employees would ever see any of that dividend. If startups paid out dividends, VCs would require them to be part of the liquidation preference clause.

IPOs and huge sales far above the liquidation preference is the only way any of the employees would see any of that money.
And the flight is twelve hours, with a filed flight plan. None of the controllers were even on-shift when SFO knew they'd need to have an ILS slot for the flight. That's why the pilot is exasperated when he finds out there isn't one.

It's like calling a year in advance for a dinner reservation and showing up and having to wait 45 minutes for your table "because it's a really busy night."

There is no housing shortage, there are more vacant homes than total numbers of homeless in the US. It’s just that capitalism creates a permanent underclass.
When it comes to helper functions on existing types, I feel like you really can’t have too many… within reason.

If we added like four new kinds of object/map, that complicates things… but just formalizing more common access and iteration patterns for existing structures seems low risk.

What I can’t wait for are all the set operations that would make ‘Set’ truly powerful.
This is one of those functions I end up implementing in pretty much every single non-trivial JS project I work on. Glad to see some movement here.

Aren't these extended queries with joins simply a function of the granular access rules you are trying to enforce? In other words, the downside of RLS that you mention is that it can destroy performance if the rules get complex. But the upside is that those complex rules are available. So there is no "true" downside, since the downside that is mentioned is only a feature of using the upside. One can presumably use RLS in a way that does not make use of all the advanced features it offers, but also does not destroy performance.

It’s not that we don’t have enough housing, the issue is that we have people that want too many houses for themselves. It’s just greed.

I don't understand this point. An older dev can also have spent a few years working with whatever platform is popular right now as well. Age doesn't enter into this at all.

I sense, though, that we're not fully understanding each other about something. Are you thinking that "3 years experience" is both a hard and fast rule and that it means 3 years being paid to work with it? Neither of those things are true.
