Well, here's one:

> I have trouble understanding how someone

is generally felt (if not understood) as aggressive, as in passive-aggressive. You literally say you "have trouble understanding *foo*" as if the problem was on your side but what is understood (and more often than not meant) is "how could anyone/you be so stupid to do/think/try this is beyond me".

"I have trouble understanding why you would use lib *foo* instead of lib *bar*" is very common on stackoverflow and other comp. sci. forums. Maybe people think it's a polite way to say things but it's worse because it's poison under veneer. If you want to point out you think it's stupid just say "I think it's stupid". 1/ it's stupid is better than you is stupid 2/ it's closer to what you want to express (or are people really so self-centred that someone else doing something they think is stupid breaks their brain ("trouble understanding")).

"Business leaders" are almost universally short-sighted, narrow-minded parasites focused on trying to fatten up their own division so they can suck more of its blood for 2 or 3 years before the next Musical Chairs game when they'll compete with all the other psychopathic mouth-breathers for the best seat, regardless of whether they know a damn thing about whatever division or company they end up in and subsequently pretend to "lead". It's an entire societal caste of pathetic, worthless, ambivalent assholes cosplaying as Business Magicians in order to compete in their own corrupt feudalistic games against each other to win the fattest host to parasitize. It's the modern day Priest Caste. If you "get out ASAP" from such companies, you will have nowhere to work.
Ehm, that's how it all started. I'm sure you are pulling my leg :-)

Back when I took compilers in college we wrote a compiler for Oberon. I couldn’t quite find my original class site, but this one seems roughly right (from a few years before I took the class): https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~wgg/CSE131B/

It was a great teaching language.

This is the text version of those old infomercials where someone tries to open a jar of pickles and flubs it so badly they end up killing their small dog and going to the hospital with injuries. But for 3 easy payments of $19.99, here's a device that will save your dog and your time!

you're free to describe gassing up as this arduous event that takes all this time, planning, and mental energy, but that doesn't make it true, and while your wife may have anxiety around gas stations, most women don't unless they're gassing up in a strange place late at night. It's generally a non-issue.

You can be pro-EV without trying so hard to vilify gas.

What exactly is the modern definition of "smooth scrolling"? How is it supposed to differ from non-smooth scrolling?

For example, in VSCode, I've toggled the "editor.smoothScrolling" setting from true to false and back without perceiving any noticeable difference. This is also true for several other applications where I've tried the same thing.

I understand the concept of 'smooth scrolling' as it was traditionally defined in opposition to "scrolling by lines" (like when using ctrl+up/down in VSCode), where the movement occurs in discrete increments. In modern apps where scrolling generally seems continuous regardless, the distinction is unclear to me.
I've started with QUIC, as I wanted to try out something new. Still, TCP protocol we have in place is a bit faster than QUIC, but it might be due to the lack of some additional tuning or so. On a side note, QUIC on MacOS is slow, when compared to Linux.
The difference being Windows is a much higher target for abuse since its the most commonly used OS for Desktop, somewhere as high as 70% marketshare or higher, depending on where you get those numbers from. It's also used a lot in corporate environments as well. Linux usage of /var/ and /etc/ differs depending on various factors too... Developers / distro maintainers put files in different places.
You're uh, probably gonna wanna rename this thing to avoid search engine collision with a certain infamous Russian domain.
Eh, given the same set of parameters, I have trouble believing a driver who let an ICE car get that low on petrol would've taken the steps necessary to manage the battery charge for that trip.

Also, the fuel consumption of an ICE is going to be much more consistent and predictable especially later in it's service life.
> the complications aren't there just for the sake of adding something, they reiterate certain structural themes, create depth, a sense of connection at variety of scales. Compare to the "unadorned" buildings -- dead, flat, boring, generic, your attention slips off them like water off an oiled pan.

Exactly. Consider the very first photograph, which highlights the owls: I couldn't actually see the books, but I could see the owls, and my instant thought was, 'I bet this is a library'. Because owls are so strongly associated with wisdom, Athena, books, and learning. Far from being useless, they are subtly serving as a UI, drawing on a recognition memory: even 30 years from now, should I happen to be walking through Chicago, I will probably recognize the library as a library solely from the owl-book cues.

I'm reminded of Tufte's 'data ink' phrase: Tufte visualizations can often be quite beautiful, but they are not necessarily minimal; they could be made simpler by removing 'ornamentation', but only by also losing subtle 'data' or theme. (You can have plenty of style or decoration, it just has to mean something.)

Whereas, in the anti-human boxes prized by modernism, they are interchangeable, meaningless, big ugly dumb boxes, designed for humans and things to be shuffled in and out of at the convenience of the powers that be - cubicles writ large.
Your running pattern is inline with the best practices I've heard in expert podcasts: start small, build up the capability gradually, prioritize rest and recovery(you do not run everyday), and do catch up if fall behind. This is really healthy!

There's absolutely no reason for the application you cited to optimize diameter and isn't approaching physical limits.

There's no reason you can't shove many optical fibers into that 5mm diameter. People don't, in short distance applications, to have simpler systems and connectors.

There's big reasons why we don't use power over fiber (the endpoints are very expensive, and the overall system efficiencies are low). None of them have to do with the highest optical power density you could hit.

Which "it" are you talking about? Apple added Globalstar antenna in iPhone 14 so it works with any newer iPhone. If you are talking about Starlink Direct-to-Cell, it will work with any phone with 5G and 1900 MHz band.

For Starlink Direct-to-cell, they are partnering with mobile providers, like T-Mobile in the US. I can't find it, but my understanding is that it will be included in the service. It will be incentive for people to use T-Mobile.

I'm a technical engineering leader with more than fifteen years of hands-on experience building teams and shipping software. I've built products and teams across multiple tech stacks (mobile, web, AR / VR, and wearables) for both consumer and enterprise audiences, by hiring curious and motivated people, empowering them with the tools and skills they need to do their life's best work, and coaching them to their full potential.

Agreed, and I'd like to give credit where it's due. Earlier this week I talked with an nVidia recruiter, and I swear it was like having a concierge service for their application / interview process.

I'm conflicted.

On the one hand, I want to say "Michelin is pretentious and arbitrary. Nobody should pay any attention to it. And it's even worse about America."

On the other hand... fine dining is an art form, an entertainment no worse than painting, movies, or watching sports. I've had meals at Michelin-starred restaurants, and they're amazing. Michelin is, rather arbitrarily, the premier critic of that particular art form, and they really should earn that reputation by at least trying to be even-handed about it.

It's no surprise that a French company should prefer French-style fine dining. But a lot of that is about the experience, not just the cuisine, and restaurants like the ones in the article have bent over backwards to give French-style service and amenities. The reviewers don't have to be experts in Chinese cuisine to know that they're getting something special.

Not true. Climbing trees for millions of years taught us nothing about orbits, or rockets, or literally incomprehensible to human distances, or the vacuum of space, or any possible way to get higher than a tree.

We eventually moved on to lighter than air flight, which once again did not teach us any of those things and also was a dead end from the "get to the sky/moon" perspective, so then we invented heavier than air flight, which once again could not teach us about orbits, rockets, distances, or the vacuum of space.

What got us to the moon was rigorous analysis of reality with math to discover Newton's laws of motion, from which you can derive rockets, orbits, the insane scale of space, etc. No amount of further progress in planes, airships, kites, birds, anything on earth would ever have taught us the techniques to get to the moon. We had to analyze the form and nature of reality itself and derive an internally consistent model of that physical reality in order to understand anything about doing space.

I feel a bit sad about that. Thanks for sharing the link though.
We definitely strive to make super consistent characters possible on Rosebud. I might be wrong but I think this user in particular set this grandma to be a bit quirky like that.

A lot depends on how detailed the user's description for the character is. But eventually there might be some issues with forgetting things deep into the chat as a limit to current LLM possibilities. We want to try and solve this by introducing saves, but still experimenting!
Some customization controls, such as the darkness of the bread, are valuable to me because I like slightly darker toast than my partner. (As others have pointed out, note that this product does have a knob for that.)

But all options have a cost so those I do not use have negative value.

My current toaster oven has three dials and an LCD display with a hierarchical menu, the vast majority of which I have never intentionally used, though I don't mind all the bells and whistles because I have learned how to ignore them. But for toasting slices of bread my current toaster is less useful than one in the article despite the proliferation of options because it requires that I mentally estimate the amount of time to toast depending on the bread slice's thickness, composition, and current temperature (i.e. from counter, fridge, or freezer) so I can specify an appropriate amount of time to toast. Occasionally I slightly over- or under-toast something and then deal with correcting that.

I agree that it is much more infuriating when controls I depend on are removed or shunted off into a car touchscreen menu or appliance-specific mobile app. But for the vast majority of appliances and applications I just want the thing to do the job I hired it to do with minimal questions or interruptions.
I think we need more, better, and longer-term studies before we can adequately conclude that reinfections lead to more long covid. And I think the answer to that question, if it comes with enough accuracy, could influence long-term decisions about how we respond to COVID.

Already the progressive subset of my social media is mostly working on the assumption we are seeing a "rapidly rising, ever-worsening reinfections leading to continuously increasing amount of long covid", but that's not what I'm hearing from the medical subset (in person, off the record, not on social media, because they're tired of the whole social media garbage cycle).

Agreed.

You can’t prove a negative, but you can define limits on the effect size.

You can show that the maximum possible size effect size is so small that you’re not going to worry about it.
This feels like really bittersweet news - congrats to the Airplane team on the acquisition but it’s sad to see a great tool disappear.

When we started Zipper.dev, we were really inspired by Airplane’s vision of making it possible to build useful software without a bunch of boilerplate and custom set up. We’re still optimistic that there’s going to be more innovation in this space.

If you’re an Airplane user or someone who’s interested in the idea of making web apps and integrations between tools really simple to build, please hit us up - we’d love to chat (hello@zipper.dev / @zipperdev). Here’s a bit more about what we’re doing at zipper.dev:

* We allow you to write and run Typescript functions without leaving your browser

* There’s a built-in frontend framework so all you need to do is output JSON and you’ll have an interactive UI

* Every Zipper app has a key-value store, a scheduler, secrets, and more

* Connectors for most databases (Postgres, MySQL, and Mongo) and other SaaS tools like Slack, Discord, Notion, GitHub, OpenAI, and more

* Import from NPM, esm.sh, deno.land and even other Zipper apps

We’re in a free open beta and looking for feedback, all you need is a GitHub account to sign up.

Even if we swapped every ice vehicle for electric and had the charging infrastructure in place, we wouldnt leave all that oil in the ground. Its just to useful, it would be used for plastics, chemical feedstocks, fertilizers, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc... All those hydrogen carbon bond we dont have to pay the energy for are just to danm useful and valuable for so many industries to leave in the ground.
Ironically, the wim hof method itself could also go on the hype/shower list.
Not exactly - the database doesn't know whether you want to block that account update or not. So, speaking very roughly, it allows you to choose general level of such a blocking behavior. It manages those locks, very coarse, at serializable and some of those locks at repeatable read. At read committed it manages basically only small set of locks just to avoid dirty reads (plus of course all the WAL/rollback/etc. which is the main features and the point of the database with the isolation levels being just the icing on that cake). Isolation levels is a tool, and you choose what is needed and suitable.

The serializable actually is a pain in the neck for any meaningfully serious large enterprise application. The decreased concurrency kills overall performance, and I haven't seen any such application running in serializable (and for example at my current job our customers are running our application on servers with low tens of TB RAM (largest so far was 40TB RAM) per single machine with high hundreds of cores with thousands of users - in serializable that would slow to a crawl as it wouldn't allow to achieve the concurrency the database on those machines is otherwise capable of). While not precise illustration it still communicates my point - the serializable against read committed is like the global Python lock against the fine grained locks in normal languages.
> not obfuscated

absolutely not. porting it to ISO C was a very fun and smooth ride, also added two adverbs atw forgot to add in 1989 (see over/scan) and a header file with some handy accesssors (atw usually does that, but he was lazy that day)

> to someone fluent in that programming style

what people often don’t realize is just how fast one can pick up atwc style, and how hard it is to ever go back :)
I had 0 Rust experience and close to 0 of system programming experience (except playing with some lower level communication protocols etc. but nothing fancy), but I'd say that something like message streaming isn't the system programming - it's close to building the database, but nowhere close to making direct usage of low level system APIs.
Cool! What is your MRR? :)

This paper did a pretty poor job of controlling for cultural factors IMO. I would think there are significant differences in local base culture between locations. E.g. maybe if you are assigned to Colorado Springs there is more of a local focus on outdoor activities that leads to improved fitness, vs if you were closer to sea level in the Mojave desert where its simply too hot to be so active outdoors outside of forced marching.
First thing I see after opening a random paper[0]:

> Three decades ago, Dijkstra (1960) proposed the standard method of
dynamic memory allocation for recursive procedures in block structured,
sequential languages, such as Algol 60 (Naur 1963), Pascal (Wirth 1971)
and C (Kernighan 1978).

Sheeesh, Dijkstra, can you please not show up everywhere like you're the Euler of computer science for FIVE MINUTES?!

Seriously though, that looks like a very interesting collection, will have to search through that in more detail later. Also curious about SuperPascal[1]. The first release/latest stable release column on the wiki page is kinda funny[2].

My biggest complaints about trying to find a job today are:

* Recruiters ghosting/not following up.

* Companies post dozens of job openings, I apply, nobody follows up (even with a rejection) but keeps posting new positions (looking at you Aha!)

The pay issue hasn’t come up except twice. One company wanted a senior engineer, but only wanted to pay 60k/year tops and you would be on call.

Another company wanted a “volunteer”.

There are other issues for sure. For some companies I do suspect age
discrimination, especially with startups.
Coal and oil power stations have scrubbers to remove organic and sulphurous compounds from the chimney.

In most developed countries, coal and oil is a small part of power generation which continues to decline.
I am curious why you yourself have "blurted out the answer" if you enjoyed the opposite from the article? This isn't a callout or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.
yes, but not by AMD, but the community. Lots of 20+ year old community projects still get feature- or performance-updates these days.

However, finding a vendor who would do that will prove to be an impossible task
The quest headsets are able to track certain supported keyboards. I have tried it and it works very precisely, no touch typing skills needed. Most apps also let you work in AR mode, where you can see the keyboard through the cameras. However, the cameras are still grainy. The next gen headsets will have this solved.

I have not tried the XReals etc because of the small FOV. I do not like turning my head a lot while working. On physical displays, one also usually only looks around with their eyes instead of turning the head. However I think the lightness and portability of the XReals has no competition as of today.
You apparently don't live in the US, or at least not in the midwest. I know a lot of people who do trips longer than that. Many Canadians out in the middle do similar trips as well (well there are not many Canadians living in that part of the country, but the ones who are there do it)

cooperative multitasking, as i use the term, keeps you from having to transform your code. it maintains a separate stack per task, just like preemptive multitasking. so async/await isn't cooperative multitasking, though it can achieve similar goals

possibly you are using the terms in subtly different ways so it appears that we disagree when we do not
Yeah, kind of. I assumed it was nothing more than an operating system upgrade messing with settings.
I wouldn’t characterise 1% as an “extremely small chance”, especially considering the prevalence of the disease, especially if it’s possible to develop it on your second or 3rd infection. Would you play Russian roulette with a gun with 100 chambers?
