I am struggling to understand what it is you're trying to communicate. The original point is that it's quite clear that motor vehicles can physically operate without software, and so therefore smart automotive systems should use graceful degradation in order to avoid situations such as in the OP.

Are you disagreeing that a motor vehicle can operate without software? Or are you disagreeing that a vehicle should continue to operate when smart features are unavailable?

What kind of graph manipulation are you thinking of?

I have the feeling that while graphs are all around us, I have seldom had the need to implement complex operations beyond depth/breadth search, and "harder" things like path finding, cycle detection or topological sort have been much more likely to appear in Advent of Code puzzles than in my professional life.

Perhaps it's just a matter of areas of work, tho.
Yes, the orbit isn't exact / perfect/ stable either [1].

> An L2 orbit is unstable, so JWST needs to use propellant to maintain its halo orbit around L2 (known as station-keeping) to prevent the telescope from drifting away from its orbital position.[186] It was designed to carry enough propellant for 10 years,[187] but the precision of the Ariane 5 launch and the first midcourse correction were credited with saving enough onboard fuel that JWST may be able to maintain its orbit for around 20 years instead.[188][189][190]

I had an android tablet with an IR blaster in it (the Sony tablet s) and had endless fun putting Macs with the remote receiver to sleep. Hold down the play button like on an iPod and people’s laptops would just go to sleep while they were using them.
You are totally correct.

I can choose to get my protein all kinds of ways, including from tofu made in a factory, out of soy grown on another continent, on ground that used to be rainforest and fertilized with nitrogen produced at the cost of huge carbon emissions, then shipped across an ocean. I can also choose to get it from an animal I helped birth, that eats blackberry bushes and grass in my pasture with their family until they’re grown, then gets led to some food on the ground and doesn’t even know what hit them.

I can choose either, and I’m not going to argue on the internet that one is inherently morally superior to the other. ALL of the things we consume come with costs. Just because they’re hidden in the end product doesn’t make them nonexistent.

I also know enough vegans and was a staunch enough vegetarian to know that neither of us is likely to change our minds or even really absorb new information here.
Lisp and Smalltalk failed because it was near impossible to share the code. Living images are really hard to merge.

Smallltalk did eventually get a fantastic solution for code sharing between living images (Envy/Developer) but by that stage it was too late.

All that philosophical guff about “worse is better” had nothing to do with the practical ease of sharing files rather than a tangled mess of code that Lisp and Smalltalk encouraged. Sharing files is definitely not “worse” by any definition.
Reproduction is not valued by the community in any way that matters. There’s no prize for reproducing, or failing to reproduce, others work. Getting a grant to do reproduction is much harder than getting the initial grant. Nobody is citing reproduction papers, so their authors can’t get that sweet sweet citation count.

I'm surprised no one mentioned LibreOffice Draw - it doesn't always work perfectly (I guess it doesn't support some parts of the spec), but when it does, it's by far the most powerful pdf editor I found allowing to do things like move elements around, edit them (as in actually edit, not just annotate), etc. It's cross platform and FOSS.

For page-level edits (rotating, reordering etc) pdftk in the cli (+ChatGPT to find the right incantations) works very well.
Average Joe with AI tools doesn't stand a chance to a photographer with whatever tools.

Knowing how to make a good photography is a skill AI doesn't have. Just by removing something or adding something to it, it doesn't make a bad photo good.

If average Joe wants to make good photographs he has a long path of learning and working.

I did photography for 9 years now and still I find lots of thing to learn and exercise. I am afraid this process never stops.

> What is wrong with accepting a simple ground truth

Where am I denying that? Saying that one of the most dynamic language is slower than Java or Go it's such a truism it's pointless.

What annoys me is the figures quoted. I can craft you benchmarks were Ruby is barely any slower than these two, or benchmark where it's 1000x slower. So which is the correct number to quote?

> For Rails I often compare to it another CRUD app, StackExchange [1] using ASP.net

This makes zero sense. You said:

> If you compare pure Ruby without Rails to fast language like Rust, Go and Java. It is probably closer to 10-20x.

> The 100x to 200x mainly comes from Rails.

So somehow you are blaming Rails for making Ruby 10 times slower whatever that means. That is a stupid statement that you took out of your hats and that doesn't reflect any reality. Please stop doing that, it's really unnerving for the people who maintain these projects.

> And I mean, creating a search engine is the ultimate "not invented here" project. I'd just pay for and use Google, Bing, or whatever else API to do things for me. So it doesn't even make sense in the context of your objections.

Except that none of the established search engines actually does full-text search (anymore). There is no way to prevent those engines from breaking apart and rewriting your query as they see fit. No matter how many quotation marks you put around it, and even if you enable "Verbatim" mode or whatever.

So if you just implement the option to do that (which is actually the default if you leverage a standard FTS library), you already have something that AFAIK you can't get anywhere else. Then you can work on kicking the blogspam out of your index, and before long you will have a search engine of real value for yourself (and possibly others).

Or, you can build a crappy clone of a text editor from the 70s.
I post too many things and lose track. Just emailed dang to remove this .
I assume “code outside the lambda runs first, then code inside the lambda maybe runs later, maybe runs multiple times, maybe doesn’t run at all”.

It can especially create problems when the lambda captures a variable by reference which gets mutated and/or deallocated before the lambda runs, and the developer didn’t plan for mutation or deallocation.

Or (a problem with lambdas, but not “non-linearizing”), if the lambda captures a variable by value (copies the value) and mutates it, and the developer expected the mutation to persist outside the lambda.

I’m surprised too. But I suspect it’s more because it’s a very inconvenient truth: what about factory farms, the suffering we make billions of animals go through so we can eat them cheaply, and having to change our habits to accommodate this reality? It’s way easier and socially accepted to ignore this entirely and assume animals are dumb so it’s ok to keep doing what we do to them.

It doesn't feel that surprising to me. I would've been in the same camp if I hadn't gone through a phase of being interested in random animal related trivia (eg wondering why so many mammals seem to enjoy being pet).

I just never really grew up with much interaction with animals, and what I did see was mostly stuff that could be passed off as just instincts without deeper thought.

It took actually thinking about their behavior and realizing that "being social" as an instinct includes having some level of intelligent emotions and relationships, it isn't just some mechanistic urge to be in a group based on some hardcoded rules.

Does the ban extend to recesses/entire school grounds?

I was very introverted throught my childhood and spent my first school years' recesses not talking to anyone, just mindlessly wandering the hallways and yard. It got to a point where I didn't even know many of my classmate's names, even after spending years "with them".

When I grew old enough to have my own phone that I could bring to school, it made recesses more bearable. It didn't sabotage or disincentivize any social interactions, because before that moment I had almost none with peers. Looking back on it, I didn't "lose out" on socialization because of phone use, as I simply didn't have any beforehand.

Ok, please don't take this comment as a defense of Citizens United and McCutchinson v. FEC, but there is logic to SCOTUS's idea.

Imagine for a moment you were, say, a certain Florida governor with Presidential ambitions and an R next to your name. A multibillion dollar mouse cartoon company that runs a local theme park in your state is complaining about a law you passed, and you want them to shut up and fall in line with the party diktat. However, it's unconstitutional to just ban political speech you don't like. So instead you decide to write a bill[0] prohibiting any out-of-state corporation with a certain asset size from spending money in the form of campaign contributions to opposing gubernatorial candidates.

Did Florida Man just violate the constitution? If you think so, well, then you believe that money is speech. Or at the very least, that money used to effect political speech (e.g. by lobbying, donating to candidates you want to see elected) should be as protected as speech is. This was actually fairly long-standing SCOTUS precedent, which is probably why they were so willing to tear up campaign finance law.

Where SCOTUS goes off the rails in the two cases above is that they then argue that even content-neutral restrictions on moneyspeech are unconstitutional. It's actually fairly well-established doctrine that protests can be regulated - i.e. we're allowed to shift protests at government events (say, the G7) to "free speech zones" that are carefully selected to be as far away from media attention as possible. We're also allowed to have noise laws, even though people use loud megaphones in protests. But we're, apparently, not allowed to have campaign finance laws which are the equivalent of noise laws for talking to your Congressperson. Evidently shouting so loud you speak over everyone else in the room is legal so long as you're speaking with dollars instead of words.

[0] This example takes place in an alternate universe where Trump 2000 actually got the man in office, so the culture war brain rot happened earlier than the SCOTUS cases that protected bribery with the 1st Amendment

Africa's agricultural landscape is characterized by untapped potential juxtaposed with the harsh realities of food insecurity. While the continent possesses vast expanses of arable land and a climate conducive to agriculture, outdated farming methods contribute to lackluster yields. Post-harvest losses further exacerbate the issue, with inadequate storage and transportation facilities leading to significant reductions in the quantity and quality of harvested crops. Insufficient infrastructure and limited access to contemporary farming practices compound these challenges, leaving many African countries trapped in a cycle of food insecurity.
I don't understand why you think a search engine requires the use of "real engineering skills" like picking and choosing libraries and identifying which opportunities will yield fruitful optimization.

Literally all of the listed projects, text editors, compilers, operating systems, and ray tracers, can exercise the exact same activities.

I'm more inclined to think that your comment is really more revealing about what kind of knowledge is in your own personal wheelhouse. Having worked on a ray tracer that was subsequently used on many feature films, I can assure you that all of your bullet points apply to that project, too.

It's much more a matter of whether you want to do something small scale and fun, or whether you want to suck all the joy out of it by applying the same soul crushing constraints we already get paid to do in our day jobs. Bleh.

I heard this argument 15 years ago when a photographer was making his photos nicer (nothing heavy) and another person objected to it. He said "it was always done just not with digital tools". But it does feel different because the advertised possibilities make it so easy to create on paper a photo of something impressive. I worry about it because it can create unrealistic expectations of what is possible - how does a person wo wants do dunk a basketball, but can't, feel if everyone posts their dunking photos that are fake? On the flip side if everyone does it, it might devalue the whole wow effect, making it less impressive and less important.

Then again, it's always true that the world we'll die in will be different than the world we were born in, and we might not like it. Maybe that's how it goes.

Not having sufficient care can do some pretty serious harm. It's not like all the new doctors we'll be adding will be worse than the existing set.

I haven’t worked at a restaurant but I have worked at dine-in movie theaters, and have friends who have worked in the kitchen and waited tables.
