It feels like there's a tiny bit of conflicting advice in this. There's the "not rocket science" rule which results in "no CI-failing commits on main" and then there's this:

> Third, our review process is backwards. Review is done before code gets into main, but that’s inefficient for most of the non-mission critical projects out there. A better approach is to optimistically merge most changes as soon as not-rocket-science allows it, and then later review the code in situ, in the main branch.

But the tip about adding a failing test as a separate commit on the feature branch wouldn't survive a merge and it wouldn't live long enough to be reviewed either.

I like most of the advice in this article but this review one is giving me pause.

Not good, it is looking like not just the nearby building but also multiple more distant buildings collapsing from the footage from the Suzu City Office (珠洲市役所) [1] if you look for the dust clouds. Also, do note the very obvious damage to the roof of the building just across the street.

Edit: OpenStreetMap link for the city office [2] and the camera appears to be facing north east. The nearby building collapsing looks to me to be the Saishoji (西勝寺), Buddhist temple, main building.

I'm interested in how this would work in New Zealand. Could I publish a version of The Hobbit on amazon.co.nz? Would this be perfectly legal? If I instead published it on my own New Zealand based blog, maybe even hosted on a data center in NZ, but with no attempt to geo-fence it would that cause issues?

Yeah, a century old approach using frequency tables where the next word is generated based just on the previous two words is highly competitive with contemporary neural nets. To produce coherent sentences, do you ever need to remember more than the last two words you said? I doubt it.

I think the failing test is meant to help with code review. The commit would be rebased out prior to merging into main.

Yes crossfit is very effective! The program I am taking at home has many elements from crossfit. Plank or push-up for example, really does not require equipment and so effective for strengthening the core! All professional ballet dancers do that. I will soon be traveling for a week. My daily training program (TLB from https://trainlikeaballerina.com/ ) can be accessed online. I can do the exercise in any hotel. Elevé, relevé, tendu, frappé, slow motion fondue, and many streching exercises are even doable in a fully stuffed long-haul plane. Let's train into a healthy and prosperous 2024!
I do any kind of research and software development. But the most profitable tasks tend to be finding a new angle for how you can automate something.

In Germany, there's still an almost endless supply of companies who urgently need to digitise their customer interactions so that they can react quickly to customer orders. A 2 week lead time for PCBs, for example, just doesn't work anymore if the Chinese competition is not only cheaper, but can DHL Express to anywhere within 7 days. Or imagine you want to book catering for an event next week but the local bakery insists that you should have faxed an order form to their central management 10 days in advance. You'd be surprised how much revenue boost some companies see just from a rudimentary Shopify order form with Stripe+PayPal online payment.

Or another classic is automating document inflow. You put all forms of type X into an automated scanner and that'll send the files to a network share and then a cronjob will name the files and sort them for you. Not only do you save one employee (e.g. $4k monthly fully loaded) but you also never have things delayed by vacations or sick days, thus making the entire company more reactive to customer demands.

qemu doesn't seem to emulate it unless it's called something else:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device \? | grep -i lance
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device \? | grep -i 7990

Back in the day (early 90s) LANCE was extremely common in embedded systems. We had a whole variety of Microware OS-9 machines that had LANCE chips for ethernet. So if you wanted to emulate that era of software it would make sense to emulate it.
That may be a bit much, but I'd think it grounds for sitting down with the person in question to discuss the need for understanding the code they turn in.

Not just can, but must. That's the whole point of the team having a manager, to have someone defend them up there. When shit starts raining from above, you don't garnish it with platitudes to "weaken the impact" and pass it to your subordinates, you do your damn best to fight it.
Have you done any performance testing with btrfs compression?

I have a Legion Go. I don't have the specs handy now, but the SSD was rated fast enough that I suspected compression would harm my overall performance.
You know there's a very good reason that failed, as did every one of the numerous projects named X12 and Y-Windows, and why Wayland has taken so many years to continue to fail or even displace X-Windows.

None of them are dynamically extensible at runtime the way the browser is with JavaScript, or Emacs is with Lisp, or NeWS was with PostScript (which failed for economic reasons).

Why not simply use a standards based web browser running directly on the hardware to implement the desktop user interface and window manager and network distributed app platform (i.e. Electron), instead of trying and failing to reinvent X-Windows for the 100th time?

I don't really have a problem with Disney Corporation using Mickey Mouse as their logo, Trademark, and otherwise as an identifying characteristic - So long as I can distribute the works that have fallen out of their exclusive use period, and create new works that don't pretend to be related in authorship. Mickey Mouse as a trademark makes sense - Mickey Mouse as a weird exclusively distributed hole in public consciousness, where most anyone who's paying attention can point to the nearly-century-old origin but not offer it up for critical discussion - That's where it got weird.

Everyone should know Mickey Mouse. Everyone should be able to see the original Mickey Mouse cartoons, as authored by Walt and Ub. Everyone should also be able to comment on and redistribute their commentary on such, original cartoon included in full. Now they can.
Also see us changing copyright law extending it years to keep Disney works like steamboat willie private in the past.

"Under this Act, works made in 1923 or afterwards that were still protected by copyright in 1998 would not enter the public domain until January 1, 2019, or later. Mickey Mouse specifically, having first appeared in 1928 in Steamboat Willie, entered the public domain in 2024[5] or afterward (depending on the date of the product). Unlike copyright extension legislation in the European Union, the Sonny Bono Act did not revive copyrights that had already expired, and therefore is not retroactive in that sense"

This hero worshippong always puzzles me. All real world examples, from certified sport super stars to actual rock stars, show us that the proverbial employee rockstar is a myth.

No Messi, Ronaldo or Mbappé can win a Championship or the Champions League on their own. Nor can Brady win the Super Bowl without a team. Every rockstar has a team of song writers (there are exceptions to that so), producers, marketing and tour people behind them.

A "rockstar" that is unable to follow rules or work in a team is nothing but a loose cannon.

Caveat is so, you can be a great fit in team / corporation A and a terrible one in team / corporation B. And what people like Sinsek have to say about all of this, is horse crap.

Even if you have no issues with spinup, insufficient power can result in silent data corruption, which can be quite frustrating to diagnose (even if ZFS will help you see it). The difference between a picoPSU and a decent "real" PSU in terms of power consumption at the wall is maybe a couple of watts in my experience - not worth the risk for most people.
>But here we were not talking about building new nuclear. We were talking about discontinuing existing nuclear.

That's a fair point. The main argument in support of nuclear I can agree with is that once you've had nuclear operations in the country, you have to pay for it whether you continue or not, so you might as well continue. Some profit is better than no profit.

But even that argument depends on whether existing nuclear plants are in fact profitable, so it is still important to find all the hidden costs.

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting anyone ever replaces nuclear with fossil fuels. That said, Indian Point is interesting:

Entergy (the operator) cited sustained low market prices for electricity as the reason for the closure of the plant. But the average price of electricity in NYC has been 50% higher since about 2010 than it was for the 3 decades before 2010.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APUS12A72610

Why is an old nuclear plant unprofitable after 40 years despite electricity prices being higher than ever? One explanation could be that it was in fact never profitable, but the true costs haven't been accounted for until now. "We assumed the problem would go away but it hasn't and now it's kind of expensive".

This explanation also fits for France, who recently increased their state-dictated prices for nuclear from 44 euros per MWh to 70. Nuclear power estimates seems to get more expensive over time - which makes no sense unless the true costs were actually unknown/ignored when the initial estimates were made.

That's the theory that makes the most sense to me at the moment anyway, even though it might be a bit speculative.

If New York starts synthesizing hydrogen, they can use the new gas plants with up to 50% hydrogen in the mix with little or no alteration. At least that's something...
There are already lots of commercial products in the market that do this, much more effectively, with prepopulated databases sourced over thousands of businesses.

A good alternative would be to get a programmable macropad alongside your regular 110 key keyboard. You could get 4*4 macropads and add 16 extra keys. I'd argue that getting a 60% and 2 such macropads is better than a 110 keyboard. You just need to manage the wires.

> This sounds like an ideal use case for literate programming.

No... not at all... Most of the "code" I write in this way is shell commands mixed with all kind of utilities present on the target systems. It's so much "unique" (in a bad way) that there's no point trying to automate it. The patterns that emerge usually don't repeat nearly often enough to merit automation.

Literate programming is the other extreme, it's like carving your code in stone. Too labor intensive to be useful in the environment where you don't even remember the code you wrote the day after and in most likelihood will never need it again.

> will complete the characters before point based on similar strings nearby

They aren't nearby. They are in a different tmux pane. Also, that specific keybinding doesn't even work in terminal buffers, I'd have to remap it to something else to access it.

The larger problem here is that in my scenario Emacs isn't the one driving the completion process (it's the shell running in the terminal), for Emacs to even know those options are available as candidates for autocompletion it needs to read the shell history of multiple open terminal buffers (and when that's inside a tmux session, that's even more hops to go to get to it).

And the problem here, again, is that setting up all these particular interactions between different completion backends would be very tedious for me, but if some automatic intelligence could do it, that'd be nice.
I'll never understand the mentality where a random company not named Disney feels it's now entitled to profit from Mickey Mouse.
Also depending on country there is tax and social security payments which companies dont have pay when they are buying consulting.
Yet another step backwards.

Current desktop user interfaces are terrible, and we need the flexibility of a web browser to innovate and implement better ones, since Wayland is simply not up to it, because it's not extensible at runtime in JavaScript or any other language. (No, recompiling or dynamically linking in DLLs doesn't count -- that's just ActiveX.)

You're talking rubbish. There are various grades of glossy screen and anti-glare coatings. The MBP is absolutely fine as is the Studio Display. Dell's stuff is NOT ok in contrast.

ARC is deterministic. ORC isn't, but doing cycles in general is usually a code smell, especially on embedded.

What is positive is that it's a public holiday in Japan and many larger buildings in the area would've been empty.
Artists, photographers etc want colour accuracy and contrast, which is better on a glossy display (with anti glare coating).

I wonder what the venn diagram is between people that want this and those that buy a new laptop every few years. Because you can say goodbye to responsive IDEs, indexing and disk performance. And when you’re on spotty WiFi you have intermittent access.
You can do it with ZFS at least. I have a ZFS setup which idles drives. If I don't access the datasets on the drives, they don't spin up. You do have to be careful with things like auto snapshotting tools though - that will typically wake drives up. I had to script mine to only run on relevant datasets when drives are spun up and also had to edit the tool (sanoid) to prevent it from enumerating the list of snapshots on the idle datasets not being snapshotted.

> someone who only understands the meanings of the individual words…

This person probably has a communication disability if they are not able to use language properly. We are not speaking in individual words, we use sentences and grammar, metaphors and homonyms, we have a lot of context even in low-context cultures. All of this can be learned and this is what education is for.

> Scientists at Yale are "poorly educated"...?

Maybe. Ivy League university or scientific degree is not a seal of quality. When you design such research only to control for political affiliation, that’s a bad science.
Agree about Slovenia. Very different story. But the rest of the region has been dominated by nationalist politics for couple of decades whose survival depends on amplifying those national differences. And as a result cultures are now different. But don't think this was the case in former Yu (80s and earlier). As an extreme example North and South Korea are very different cultures now as a result of politics, don't think this was the case before 1950s.
Right now, the GPS receivers that support RTK corrections charge a substantial premium for the capability, so you're unlikely to see this in a mobile phone without the phone makers intending it.

Also, you only get ~3cm precision while you have direct line of sight to a reasonable number of satellites, including some that are closer to the horizon. So if you're close to a building, or in a car with a metal roof - the accuracy might not turn out that great anyway.

People doing fancy surveys use a special antenna that rejects reflections from near ground level, but has to be pointed towards the sky. That's undesirable for a phone, where the user might want it in portrait or landscape, might hold it at an angle for readability, and so on. I have no idea if you could achieve respectable RTK performance with an omnidirectional antenna.

So even if you were the iPhone GPS chip selector, and you had the market leverage to get RTK support cheaply and get a killer deal on network NTRIP corrections, you might think the benefits aren't worth it.

I suspect costs will fall precipitously in the next few decades, though, because this sort of tech is useful for self-driving cars, and automotive order volumes tend to make chip prices fall a great deal.
The Deck UI is two parts: the Steam client in Big Picture Mode (which is most of the Steam Deck UI and runs on Mac and Windows as well), and the gamescope compositor. Gamescope is open source and Steam is available for download on Linux.

You could run any of the replacement Steam Deck OSes (Jovian/NixOS, Bazzite, Chimera...) and get a UI that's identical to what's on the Steam Deck, down to the "Deck Verified" badges and sidebar sliders that may not work on your machine. They're all essentially running the Steam Deck UI atop whatever distribution each one chose.

I'm not sure you'd want the literal Steam Deck image on your machine. It's an older kernel with a bunch of patches that expect the SD's hardware. But if you want to explore that more, there was an excellent article on the front page this morning about building your own clone of Steam OS.

We have to be careful when using impl trait in return position in public APIs.

The opaqueness means that the consumer of the API cannot name the type and cannot store it inside of a struct (without making it generic (moving the issue one level higher), or boxing).

I will consider this feature complete once we get the ability to name these opaque types, via a type alias impl trait.
Gamescope, the compositor used on the Steam Deck variants, is optimized for gaming. It can do things like integer scaling, so your game is always fullscreen regardless of what resolution it renders to.
