Unless I'm misunderstanding, separation by functionality is only useful for engineering teams. Once it's in production, the only thing that matters are the technical aspects. By technical aspects, I'm interpreting to mean mem/cpu usage, throughput, security requirements, etc.

then again it can hardly be denied that a reoccurrence is seldomly an equally devastating experience
So the Post Office scandal is likely another disaster caused by Tony Blair's government in 1999. Prior to that computer evidence was considered only reliable if the computer was used and operating properly.

That change in the law might have also created the Operation Ore scandal, where thousands of innocent people were arrested over false charges of purchasing child pornography. Which led to 33 suicides.

Memoization is a more general technique. It's often little more than caching the results you happened to compute, in case you need them again in the future.

Dynamic programming is systematic memoization. You solve subproblems of increasing size, until you reach a solution to the full problem. "Inductive algorithm" would be kind of appropriate term, as the typical dynamic programming algorithm is effectively a proof by induction. Unfortunately that term already has other meanings.
It's not that bad either. You can use Ergo as an IRC server, and The Lounge as a client to provide a pleasant experience for small teams without the setup hassle.

They won't use it if the APIs for generating HTML/JSON/SQL don't take String (or deprecate the old methods that do). The various APIs can support only their own, safe processors, and if an API doesn't take a String then you can't pass it interpolated strings.

Would there be a problem with disposal of these if they were widely used? The quote they give says.

> Atomic energy batteries are environmentally friendly. After the decay period, the 63 isotopes turn into a stable isotope of copper, which is non-radioactive and does not pose any threat or pollution to the environment.

But if someone throws one away after just one year, and then it gets ground up as scrap, would that cause a problem?
I thought the A350 was Airbus’s answer to the 787. Curious why that’s not a ‘perfect competitor’?
Then why even say your open 10 to 10 when you are only serving til 930pm (allow 30 minutes for worker clean up)? Just close at 930 and they are paid til 10pm.

Anything else makes zero logical sense when a business explicitly states business hours are 10am to 10pm. Throughout my posts here I've noted 15 minutes before closing I'm empathetic to and even explicitly asked the worker at the sub shop is it too late which should could've said I've cleaned up could you come tomorrow. Yet 30 minutes ..isn't cause then what's next 45 minutes.. 60 minutes..whenever they feel like it and business hours that are posted have no meaning!

This was never a thing before Covid ..15 minutes possibly but 30 minutes never and that's the gist of my argument! People are lazier and value their time more then their employers and or their employers no longer pay them beyond closing hours (something changed)! As well could be a mix of both.
How is whitelisting going to work? You can’t whitelist Instagram photos because that would prevent people from posting new ones. You also can’t whitelist users because bad actors just hack their accounts. All of the disallowed content I’ve come across (pornography on Facebook or Instagram) was posted by an obviously hacked account.

If you add an extra checkmark people have to get to be able to post then hackers will just target those people.

At the end of the century, 1999, I had one of the first and also one of the last ISDN internet flatrates, offered here in Germany. It cost around 60 Deutsche Mark per month. Around year 2000 this ISDN flatrate became obsolete, because DSL was pushed into the market, also with a flatrate option. Now you could get 786kbit/s instead of 64kbit/s. :) I used my (and my only one) ISDN telephone to 2017 though. It lasted almost 20 years without any problems. Then we moved and now it is all VoIP.

After some more pondering, I have another question: how about slot methods? I'm sure that you don't really have anything comparable to the method name if slots, and more recent `PyType_Slot` doesn't help either (unless PyPy starts to define its own slot ID). It looks like that there should be some centralized extension point instead of per-method extensions. Extending either `PyModuleDef.m_methods` or `PyModuleDef.m_slots`, by putting metadata before their first entry, seems doable. Discovering their presence is another problem, though.

I think this is a good move (leaving Slack) but without knowing more internal info I think it could equally be a bad one.

The issue I see is they are building their own in-house solution. That’s a project in itself - and time not focusing on the core products.

It could have been mitigated if they used on off-the-shelf solution as a foundation, but instead they are re-inventing or rebuilding login/regi, user management, moderation, threads, etc from scratch - with the bugs that come with it. They at least considered it and would be interested to know their rationale.

That’s a lot of internal resources. Time will tell if it’s worth it.
> it should be very hard to fire people

At will employment exists for good reason. You can quit your job at any time for any reason and your employer can fire you at any time for (almost) any reason. There are a very narrow set of circumstances for which your employer cannot fire you, and this is by design. The government should have as little control as possible over who you hire and fire and why.

Nobody, at least nobody who is thinking straight, would claim that someone who can speak English, particularly one who can do so fluently, doesn't have immense knowledge and skill in that area. It may not be an economically valuable skill due to the ubiquity relative to the need, but that, again, is something else entirely.
From TFA: "Up to 8GB DDR4/3, LPDDR4/3 at 2133/2800 Mbps (directly included in the chip, as far as I understand)"

It's a separate chip - in fact, the one labeled "cxmt" in the picture with a close-up shot of the JH7110 SoC. AFAIK, the 2GB version is not in production right now, so the only options are 4GB and 8GB.

If you're in Germany, there's a significantly cheaper option than the 123€ amazon.de link given in the article: 106€ at https://www.rasppishop.de/StarFive-VisonFive (yes, that's a typo in the URL, but it works... they also offer the 4GB version).
There seems to be a lot of anti-ICO rhetoric in the comments, which I don't think is entirely fair. Reading the enforcement notice, it seems that the ICO were satisfied that the breach was negligent rather than intentional. HelloFresh have fully complied with the investigation and taken steps to remedy the breach.

Bearing in mind that the ICO's remit is to ensure compliance rather than dole out punishment, this seems broadly reasonable. I'm quite confident that HelloFresh understand that a) they're being watched and b) the ICO won't be nearly so lenient if HelloFresh come to their attention again. I know that people get very angry about spam, but a huge fine that would "guarantee deterrence" would rightly be challenged in court as disproportionate.

Going to college is only nominally about acquiring knowledge. In reality it’s about acquiring a credential. All of the gatekeeping involved in admissions and examinations is to protect the value of the credential. The reason MOOC certificates are largely worthless as a credential is because there are NO safeguards against cheating.

HTTP Status Code: Understanding the Basics
There are dynamic programming solutions not based on memoization. See for example finding the longest common substring between two strings. Memoization will not help as much because you only need the table's left and up cells once.

In general, if the problem's sub-problems have a lot of overlap and the optimal subproblem must be part of the optimal overall solution, you've got an opportunity for dynamic programming. Saying memoization is the only kind of dynamic programming is like saying hash tables are the only abstract data type.

That was the point when Hal Abelson convinced MIT that they should support putting as many courses online as possible (having tenure does give you freedom to do good things): that the knowledge is free and if others can get value from it, that would be great!

But it really is just the course material, with some classes also having lectures. It’s not at all the same as attending. A few years ago I needed more thermo than I had remembered from my time as an undergrad. I actually reviewed the same class number I’d taken decades before and it was hard yakka. I am sure I would not have gotten much out of it if I were just reviewing the material cold, without the in person MIT experience in my past.

there has recently been a revival of interest in simple c (or c-like) compilers, e.g.

https://c9x.me/compile/ (c frontend: https://github.com/michaelforney/cproc)

https://github.com/sysprog21/shecc (this fundamentally targets risc-like architectures, but is very clearly written).

perhaps eventually a simple well-defined semantics will emerge (i think projects like the above already support more of a regehr-style c rather than iso).

I agree that it's the ideal use case for the AI, it's just the issue there is that it's an area where you can't afford any false positives or negatives. All hell will break loose if sexual abuse content or footage of terrorism/cartel incidents ends up on random people's Facebook timelines, and another kind of hell will break loose if innocent people see their accounts nuked and their details reported to authorities because the system thought something they posted was illegal content.

We've already had both things happen in recent times, and it's been a legal and PR nightmare for affected companies. So while using AI would be great to avoid harm to any human moderators, the system would have to be perfect (or nearly perfect) in order to avoid any side effects that would cause serious harm to innocent people and the company/platform in question.
Well, ancients managed to find damn good heuristics without all our knowledge and science. And we entire have a country proud of their universities, you know, ivy league branding and stuff, and they can't even take over the baton, just reprinting old books.

> Hands are completely different than genitals.

Completely? Yeah, I don't see it. Maybe because I'm German and there's very little fuss made about nudity over here*, which in turn makes me very confident it's just a cultural thing. Society taught you that there's something special about genitals, so you start believing it. Most people can probably overcome this through simple exposure or doctors would have a problem.

What's going to matter more is the setting. I'm guessing the pictures are supposed to be sexual, which might affect viewers more than the fact it's a picture of a penis.

> There are many women who are traumatized by getting sent dick photos.

I'm sorry, but if seeing a penis can traumatize someone, there's something wrong with them - and it's not the fact they've been sent a dick pic. It doesn't excuse others being intrusive or exploiting that vulnerability, but it's still a vulnerability that is way abnormal and should probably be addressed.

Overall I agree with you that it can affect someone, but I'd do so with more nuance than using words like "trauma".

*There's way more "extreme" examples than Germans, even ignoring our animal relatives.
It is some sort of "cope".

The best counterexample is freezing damage. Each time makes you weaker.

I believe both e.g. participating in war or being a victim of a crime makes you mentally weaker.

Many veterans seems to be the brink of collapse and those people were probably better suited mentally than the average man for ensuring war since they self selected for it? Or maybe less naive people would fare better?
Docker containers (in practice) can be considered to be an extreme form of distributing static binaries (snaps, flat-packs, nix, fat go binaries, pyinstaller, etc).

Beta-voltaic and other nuclear batteries have been around for a long time. The issue, at least so far, isn’t technology, it’s mostly just cost and safety. These things cost hundreds and into the thousands per battery last time I checked. And for that they put out less power than a coin cell.

Outside of pacemakers and space probes where a battery change is difficult to impossible, there aren’t a lot of use cases where the cost is justified.

There actually are other isotopes such as Hafnium 178m2 which have the potential to make much more energy and power dense nuclear batteries, but due to safety concerns haven’t been developed yet.

Checkout: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafnium_controversy

> 178m2Hf has the highest excitation energy of any comparably long-lived isomer. One gram of pure 178m2Hf contains approximately 1330 megajoules of energy, the equivalent in about 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of the explosive TNT. The half-life of 178m2Hf is 31 years

That only applies to heavily saturated markets and it's only "zero sum", because the market isn't growing anymore, not because marketing is bad.

When you are tapping a new market, absolutely nobody knows about your company, your product and the problems it solves. In fact, often you even have to educate your customer that they have an opportunity to improve their business/life with your product.
The problem is that you have to commit to basically three meals per week for 2+ people and then opt-out for subsequent weeks, they're not cheap and they're often a reasonable bit of work to prep. I tried Blue Apron once and it was basically too much up-front commitment and too much work.

Local grocery stores have an increasingly amount of semi-prepped meals which make a lot more sense for me.
It wouldn't be a (sub-)thread about Calibre without someone pointing out the last bit. Made me chuckle.
Yes. Prices for corn and cheap clothing and consumer electronics will all fall to zero because no one has any money so demand will be zero. But then in response production will halt since there’s no longer any profit to be made.

This widespread contraction of production is economic collapse. So you haven’t answered my question.

Wealthy capitalists aren’t going to keep McDonald’s in business: they don’t eat there. If consumers don’t have any money, McDonald’s collapses.

There’s a lot more to an MIT education than the credential.

I won’t argue that the credential isn’t useful in that certain people are more willing to consider taking you seriously the first time they meet you (foot in the door), but people with that credential do still fail.

And seriously, when does where you went to school even come up, except on a resume (that “foot in the door”)
> no strange leading character(s) (per C#, VB, Python, Scala, and now Java)

There are no strange leading characters in Java, either. A template expression is a special case of an instance method call (it's a call to the `process` method on the template processor), and the "leading characters" are the same ones Java already requires for all instance calls. There's nothing strange about them; what is new (and therefore possibly strange) is the use of `"` for the method call instead of a method name followed by `(`. In other words, the new syntax Java added is what follows the dot in the method call to `process`; everything up to and including the dot is normal Java syntax. This is important to emphasise that a template string expression is an a method call that may (although normally shouldn't) even have a side effect.

> templated strings are actually distinguished, so don't have to worry about accidentally running into template literals in normal strings

Same here. `\{` inside a string remains a syntax error, as it always has been. Also, Java is typed (and the template expression requires a receiver of type StringTemplate.Processor) and there cannot be any ambiguity, and so it's unnecessary to introduce yet another punctuation mark. JS needed further distinguishing syntax because it is untyped.
Knowledge is free, just go to the library. However the costs for facilities, equipment, staff, maintenance, etc is not. While college, especially American college, is overpriced (due in large part to the government), SOMEONE still needs to be paid. As the receiving end of the benefits it is only natural you also incur the burden, ideally equally split amongst your peers.
How was your experience with Tauri? I'm loving Rust and would like a lightweight web backend (like Flask in Python) to use with Rust.
Well, you could say the same today: why would the capital owners pay stagnating or decreasing real wages if they sell their products to those very same wage earners? Say, if I own a furniture store, isn't it in my interest for Walmart and McDonald's to pay good wages, so that more people can afford my products? But what real leverage do I have to get that outcome? It's not like there's a dark cabal of employers that sets wages.

Money is just a made up thing we invented to measure economic value. If a worker is truly valueless, then he gets no money and simply does not participate in the economy. For all the capitalist system is concerned, it's as if he's a starving subsistence farmer in sub-saharian Africa, he's outside the economy and there are no money to be made supplying him with goods and services. The economy does not "collapse" compared to a virtual level where all starving people of Africa are housed, fed, card and amazoned.

Of course you could interpret this as just an extreme form of inequality, where the redundant get some form of food and shelter covering UBI, while the capitalist and the samurai class earn riches beyond comprehension. The system is feudal in the sense that all relative wealth (thus, political power) is concentrated to a small number of people, not that somebody necessarily starves. The serfs could have quite a comfortable life, arguing on HN etc.
