Gelman amnesia and all that…

Even more nitpicky: it’s not a GFCI because GFCI does not detect current leakage between pins that shouldn’t carry current. It measures current imbalance between pins that should be carrying current.

The distinction is that a real GFCI (which this USB port is not) does not care whether the imbalance is returning through a third conductor on the power cord or some other path.

If this were a real GFCI, it would be able to detect when current flows out through the case, to your hand, though your body and then back though the puddle of watch you’re standing in.

That’s not what this is doing. It is measuring unexpected current between the pins within the port for the purpose of avoiding galvanic corrosion (the hint is in the daemon name reported by macrumors).

One company is planning to make me an offer, but they have to wait for the new FY to start in February before they can seek approval for another remote employee.

The other company is hiring to replace someone who recently left. The team is pretty lean, so IIUC they can't easily cover the departing employee's skillset.
Alas, our local Aldi has almost completely gotten rid of the old checkouts. Now it's typically one staffed checkout lane, with the rest all being self checkout.

I don't mind self checkout for small purchases, but when I've got $200 worth of groceries, plus family in tow, I really don't want to deal with self checkout at all.

Sega’s market advantage was that the hardware R&D was mostly paid for by their very successful arcade business (they still have major success here) and they made reduced costs versions of arcade hardware and sold them as home consoles.

It was this hardware expertise that lead to their acquisition by Sammy, a company that makes Japanese slot machines. They also valued the better public image a game company has, and adopted Sega’s name.

Have you considered Nghi Vo’s singing hills cycle novella series? Produced pretty consistently, about a monk who travels and collects stories with their photographic memory bird. I always found this fantasy series comfy and lush. I also recommend the Birdverse series by R. b. Lemberg (The Four Profound Weaves novella and The Unbalancing Novel), which is all about themes of emotional connection and community.

For example, this past weekend I tried to work on learning some WebGPU stuff. The search results were filled with WebGL, WGPU, Three.js, Babylon, etc. stuff. The page might have contained "WebGPU" in a sidebar or something similar, but weren't about WebGPU at all.

Another system by Visa and Mastercard. I'd really like our payment systems to be independent from that duopoly.

But also: it still has the fundamental problem that credit cards have: you still enter your card number into the merchant's website. From what I understand, only if merchant and customer agree to the extra security, does it actually offer that extra security.

The big advantage of iDeal is that the only thing the merchant has to know, is which bank I use. Merchant redirects me to my bank, sends the payment details to the bank, I authorise the payment on my bank's site with the best security my bank offers, and the bank sends me and the approval back to the merchant.

Many webshops kinda do something like that by handing payment off to their payment provider, but their payment provider isn't my payment provider yet still needs a credit card number. And what if a merchant uses a shady payment provider? But if those payment providers were to support a safer system, and international version of iDeal, that's really all we need. (In fact, I think some of them do support iDeal, which is great.)

But I want to get rid of typing large supposedly-secret-but-not-really numbers from my card into a stranger's webform.
Modern inverter based heat pumps are perfectly fine to oversize. Since you can adjust the speed of the compressor, you just run the compressor slower if you want to 'undersize' it. There's little downside aside from cost to oversizing these days, and in many cases it may be necessary to oversize the cooling side to provide enough heating in the winter.

Python is a very widely used language, and like any popular thing, yes many many many like it , and many many many dislike it .. it is that big, python can be disliked by a million developer and still be a lot more liked than disliked

but i also think that its true that python is not and have not been for a while considered as a modern or technically advanced language

the hype currently is for typed or gradually typed languages, functional languages, immutable data , system languages, type safe language, language with advanced parallelism and concurrency support etc ..

python is old , boring OOP, if you like it, than like millions of developers you are not picky about programming language, you use what works, what pays

but for devs passionate about programming languages, python is a relic they hope vanish

> We help companies fix their vulnerable source code using AI.

I think like 95% of the general "vulnerability market" exists because companies have assets they don't own the codebase of, and have to wait for and test patches when they finally arrive.

> It doesn’t need to understand the whole codebase since the problem is usually isolated to a few lines.

I'm not a terrific coder but isn't this a pretty risky simplification? It's a very common occurence that a minor, one line change breaks something in a whole different part of the codebase.
This is similar to Bezos standard for meetings. The person who plan for a meeting has to prepare a 6 pages memo (full text prose). The first 15-30 minutes of the meetings are to allow everyone to read the memo. If you can't articulate your point in details, you are not ready to host your meeting.

I'd argue the implementation detail is still hidden. You don't know if Applications use FUSE or are WASM containers or docker images or what not.

I found a web page on my drive that I had created, I don't know, maybe two decades ago. For kicks I opened it in a browser (cringe) and for laughs clicked on the links.

To no one's surprise they were essentially all dead. Curiously the only one that worked was to a Pixies (the band) site.
> It should be required reading for anyone creative, i.e., anyone who might create something, anything.

I agree. I have found that designers refuse to read it. They don't like usability at all.

My experience is that designers want users to admire the UI, as opposed to use it.
> Patch file are usually a bit smaller and can also be easily mailed.

The best way to email patches is to use `git send-email`. So that the receiver can directly apply it. It's easy to get it wrong when done manually.
Sure if you live in a racially homogenous country like North Korea, everywhere else of course it is, how else would non-nationals prove their identity?
A stuck open valve would explain all this. Not saying that is what happened, just that it's a theory that also fits.

One of the maneuvering engines gets stuck on while trying orient the solar panel at mission start. Loss attitude authority until it runs out of propellant. Now that it's done, control is restored, so power positive on the panels, but the fuel situation is beyond recovery.
Know of any papers / articles on this stack?
Wow, perhaps I am unaware of some of the wonderful capabilities of git!

So if everything on the entirety of github.com was deleted, you could still do a git clone somehow and it would pull it from everyone who has ever cloned that repo?

Because that's what I'm referring to here - p2p not hub-spoke architectures.

I'm fairly certain git doesn't inherently have this feature, unless the backend remote could automatically start an iOS or torrent daemon and deal with torrent or ipfs for pulling and pushing.
Some browsers sync these settings, so that removes a lot of the complexity. But in general, you're repeating the same mistake. No, you wouldn't have to do that, you'd just set it up on the devices you use the most to get the most convenience in the most common cases, and then use the less convenient option on others.

There is no point in making 100% of your experience worse just because you can't make 100% of your experience better
Design, real design, is HARD.

Basic things like line length, contrast (black and white people) get screwed up by most app/web designers and devs. Then we gave all sorts of font tweaks to web monkeys and its been down hill for readability...

But a lot of it sucks because everyone feels like they can bike shed the interface, somehow design is "opinion" and not an art/skill.

Maven versus Meson is purely about architecture, just look at Maven's design.

You can get your company banned from all stores, not just one. You have to sign up a dev account for all stores, not just one. You pay to publish to all stores, not just one.

They should just argue that every single account accesses their very own unique store.

A judge or jury should be insulted by Apple framing it this way. It’s very much a “this only works because I think you’re an idiot.”
Insulation is going to improve efficiency of any system. Generating power at grid scale is usually more efficient than what you can do at home. And you can maybe put your faith that the grid will migrate to renewables in the next few decades while upgrading homes is a lot more labor intensive.

This is very true

Code format for a 1 line like this example is nowhere close to # of lines in other files, the networking delays, and also can't be done client-side with current hardware to the scale needed for multiple entities all weighted uniquely in the current 2023 "AI" tools.
Care to elaborate your point? I wouldn't label myself a "free speech absolutist" (seems like blowhard posturing), but my belief in freedom of speech does have an absolutist framing (it's a natural right flowing from computational enfranchisement plus the existence of cryptography).
Not yet, at least not at scale. The tech needs a few more years of advancements before it is mass adopted. The Apple glasses are cool, but nobody is going to regularly wear them in public (not least because of the risk of theft.)
In the days before contact lenses people who wore glasses were in the minority. Sometimes they were ridiculed. Today it seems rare to find somebody who doesn't benefit from corrective lenses. I don't think human optic abilities have deteriorated so much as human culture has shifted. But we still think people with 20/20 vision have ideal vision. We don't consider them to have a condition with a label like "myopia".

If 90% of people exhibit some characteristics of the autism spectrum, shouldn't we start to consider the people with none as the ones worthy of a label? Like people with true pitch. We give them a label, not people with less than perfect pitch.

Perhaps pedantry is like true pitch or "perfect" vision. It's actually a good thing. Even if it annoys people who don't have it. I wonder if people with true pitch go through life cringing on the inside every time they hear a wrong note. But they learn to never let on that they notice.

Perhaps the part of pedantry that puts a person on the autism spectrum is not so much the noticing as it is the voicing--the seeming inability to control the expression and calling out a correction instead of just letting it slide.
Way more content, maybe, but on platforms that are not made for long term retention and curation, but for attention span of a fruit fly and optimized for engagement. The content might get the quick giggle or wow, but then it has passed. TikTok and similar are not the kind of platform that I would search answers to questions on or that I would use to follow a hobby in depth. Perhaps my hobbies don't lend themselves to being represented by TikTok shorts or whatever they call them there.

Fined by whom? On what authority?

It's fascinating how people clamor for more government regulation and control at the first sign of trouble, without reasoning about the implications of those things, despite a history replete with examples of power abuse from the same.
They say they don't do that. Here's one way it could have happened:

Suppose Apple had plans to monetise iMessage at the time it was developed and eventually decided against it for whatever reason. This would leave the company with a an app running on most phones. What to do? I can easily imaging someone standing up in a meeting and suggesting: "Well, running it costs very little, why don't we just minimise the cost of running it and keep providing it for as long as the cost is low?"
We are building a new house now and the heat pump will actually provide heating a cooling through panels installed in the ceiling and walls.
Air travel is an industry with high risk yet a good safety track record. It seems like exactly the sort of place you wouldn't want to experiment. You can argue that this incident is a blemish in that track record, but it's not obvious to me how "add every word uttered by flight crews to a permanent record" would meaningfully address this incident (at least, any more than doing the same for every other job in the supply chain, from factory workers all the way up to the executives at Boeing), and it is obvious to me how it could be harmful.
Am I the only one for whom this doesn’t work? If I try to unlock the car with the fob against my head, my car doesn’t seem to receive any signal. But if I try and unlock the car from the same distance, key fob not on head, it works like normal.

Highschool student needing an interview for a school projcet
Hello everyone. as the title says i'm a highschooll student looking for an interview on a midyear mandatory research project on the intricate relationship between profit, product enhancement, and organizational dynamics within software companies and big businesses. The core of my project would be a website detailing how companies choose to optimize this balance, as well as showcasing this optimization through the lens of a mock product.

If any former or current software engineers, CEOs, people in marketing in said software companies or companies in general are open to being interviewed put a comment in the document with your email and a time you would like t be interviewed. deadline is next Friday

I would love to get insight on how software companies work, and how they decide to create and develop products. I would also want to get insight on how marketing companies work, and how they decide to create advertisements or balance a company's needs or core organizational values.

Remote KYC has always been a joke. Photoshop has existed long before AI.
I think communities attract types of folks unless they become uber popular (like reddit) to the point they can attract everyone. 4chan was interesting when I found it, but I quickly found it became mostly toilet humor at its best, and was often (i.e. every time I opened it) full of racism and sexism. It was a safe place for immature folks to shout whatever they wanted and not care who it affected -- though of course anyone affected likely ditched the cesspool anyways. Yet, as I watched one of my friends continue to use it, I don't think it was pure coincidence that their own verbiage became increasingly vulgar and desensitized. As some of my friends matured as they grew up, I found he went the opposite direction (at least in online messaging).
It's ready now, the updates to come are mostly performance improvements. Try it out and see what you think!
This sounds wonderful. What is step 1?

It seems overwhelmingly difficult to make real progress towards anything like this with so much money/power entrenched behind the status quo.

What is the programming analogy here?

Two decades ago, you could (as e.g. Paul Graham did at the time) argue that dynamically typed languages can get your ideas to market faster so you become viable and figure out optimization later.

It's been a long time since that argument held. Almost every dynamic programming language still under active development is adding some form of gradual typing because the maintainability benefits alone are clearly recognized, though such languages still struggle to optimize well. Now there are several statically typed languages to choose from that get those maintainability benefits up-front and optimize very well.

Different languages can still be a better fit for different projects, e.g. Rust, Go, and Swift are all statically typed compiled languages better fit for different purposes, but in your analogy they're all jets designed for different tactical roles, none of them are "trains" of any speed.

Analogies about how different programming languages are like different vehicles or power tools or etc go way back and have their place, but they have to recognize that sometimes one design approach largely supersedes another for practical purposes. Maybe the analogy would be clearer comparing jets and trains which each have their place, to horse-drawn carriages which still exist but are virtually never chosen for their functional benefits.
