God that thread is infuriating. If they're so worried about apps from outside the Apple App Store being insecure, and want to stick to only installing apps that Apple has approved, then they can literally just limit themselves to only using the Apple App Store and be literally just as "safe" as they were before, with zero difference. They're not forced to get anything from outside the Apple App Store just because the option exists. What, are they infants who can't control themselves? And if other people are using it, so what? Are other people going to install apps on their phones somehow? No, they're not. So others having extra choices they don't want to use doesn't effect them. It's like complaining that your house is made less secure because other people haven't installed a 24/7 surveillance camera and six deadbolts and bullet proof glass like you have. But this is how Apple's propaganda has taught their cultists to think: through learned helplessness. "I need as many choices as possible taken away from me to make sure I'm all safe and secure." Like, no, security (and ease of use) is about having excellent, solid defaults most people won't need to change, NOT about taking away more advanced options.
It could also be they're talking about the hc-tree branch

That’s not relevant to the question of “what’s wrong with mongodb?” It seems folks just regurgitate memes without any understanding of the current product.
I was worried about moving from vue2 to vue3. You can still write in vue2 style but once you move to the composition api you won't go back.
It did not exist back then %) It launched in 2013. IRC existed, but for some reason it wasn't popular enough.

Eventually we wrote a real-time web chat, just because it was a fun project for someone. But it did not replace the standup, until I left in 2011.
Yes. The positive is that the code is left behind. I am sympathetic with (and sorry for) those who will not learn fast enough about the acquisition and will have their private data sucked out. That's why I posted it here, after I learned about it only today.
this says it's 7% in Japan: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/diabetes-... , but I found another source that says 12% for 2016.

Diabetes scales with obesity and age. Japan has a very old population, but less obesity than the US. White rice despite its glycemic index is not super high calorie. If it's a contributing favor, it's because of weight-gain, not glycemic index.

edit: better source: https://www.diabetesatlas.org/data/en/country/101/jp.html, https://www.diabetesatlas.org/data/en/country/211/us.html

There's more diabetes in the US.
I'm not who asked, but would like to thank you for the extremely detailed answer
Wow. I guess I won't get mad at my guests for running the heat 24/7 at 5¢ per kWh.
Possibly a bad function of n (linear or worse) on IO systems based on traditional drives or dirt cheap SSDs, once IO becomes your main bottleneck (i.e. when you data no longer fits easily in RAM).
David MacKay discusses this in Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air. He concludes that, while it's on first glance appealing to want to use waste heat from power generation, heat pumps are strictly superior to combined heat and power except for in a few specialized circumstances (e.g. industrial uses that require high temperatures). The book is fifteen years old now, so I suspect the math even more strongly favors heat pumps than when it was published.

See the section, "Heat pumps, compared with combined heat and power":

I do not relish the idea of having to download Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp directly from a 3rd party store. For me Apple standing between sketchy devs like Zuck-co and my phone is a feature not a bug.
> Appreciate the input. Have you tried FluidX3D?

Glad to help.

I'm not familiar with FluidX3D. Lattice Boltzmann methods are uncommon, probably because they are computationally expensive. I'm a finite volume and finite difference guy myself. Finite volume methods are the most common approach in computational fluid dynamics.
For everyone complaining about the security issues, there is nothing that stops Apple from throwing up a ton of warnings for apps that didn't come from their App Store.

"This app came from a third party, it can download all your private information and has not been reviewed by Apple".

Pop a warning every single time it accesses contacts or location, don't allow third party apps outside the App Store to be granted ongoing permissions to anything, etc.

They can still do a lot to make the third party App Store experience much less appealing to developers than the App Store path and still be within the letter of the law. And I'm sure they will.

(amusing side note, every time I write App Store autocorrect keeps capitalizing it for me)

> You can use a language chosen by the middle of the bell curve and still get a lot of satisfaction and success out of being on the right of the bell curve of skill in that language.

This is very good pragmatic and realistic advice and really the only way to stay sane.

> If you do want something less mundane than C++, try Rust, it also has a high skill ceiling but you'll spend less of your time fighting tech debt. I think this is the sweet spot for language choice right now, but I can still have a lot of fun writing delicately crafted Go despite the obvious and intentional appeal to the lowest common denominator there.

I personally feel F# is a sweeter spot. Also, I have found Rust jobs hard to get because most positions seemingly want 5-10 years experience. I'm interested in the language but have run out of steam using up my spare time just to learn new languages rather than doing something more interesting or just reading and other hobbies.

A law degree is a graduate degree - you should probably focus on what they did before becoming a lawyer. Lawyers with STEM undergrad aren’t likely to be advertising on billboards along the side of the highway or chasing ambulances, but are well-represented in the ranks at major law firms and in corporate law jobs. Probably over represented compared to the population as a whole.
I don't steal even though I share the sentiment, but if I didn't have the means I could see myself using that as a very easy rationalization.

Having to deal with soaring grocery prices while observing record grocery store profits has about the same effect as pouring gasoline on a fire.
By the way, just for clarity, note that the comments in this subthread were written before we updated the random seed for that example to result in a much better diagram: https://github.com/penrose/penrose/commit/134533830dab25642a...
What you’re saying isn’t actually true though. Sufficiently popular apps could force users to use alternative methods.
I wouldn't be looking forward to this happening. Valve will not support CS2 _at all_ for macOS [0] because there are not enough players for CS2 on macOS. While it likely doesn't translate to the whole of Steam userbase for other games, I guess it is their general conclusion that macOS is not a first-class citizen for Steam.

Re speed, looks like the cables are the right ones. Would be nice to find a wiring diagram of the motherboard to see how the pcie lanes are allocated but hard to find on these consumer devices. Perhaps each usb4 port is a single lane gen2 which would top out around 10Gbps. You could try paralleling iperf3 to give you a bit more info. Also check the tx_speed and rx_speed in /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices to see what it is negotiating.

This seems like the most obvious fix. Create the Payroll Job in the "WAITING FOR APPROVAL" state instead of the "APPROVED" state.

Perhaps the OG JCL cutely encoded the job state into a single bit and no one has dared touch it since the Ford Administration.

Begs a loosely related question: what VCS do you suspect the JCL is stored in? I'm going with the "incremental .BAK system", if any.

It's a term thrown around by various people to refer to "building houses with something slightly later than 1950s designs".

When people hear "civil engineering" they think "skyscrapers, bridges, roads" - this is more like "if you wrap a house in insulation, it's insulated better, but that can also cause moisture capture, which destroys it" type engineering.

How this works: A suffix of text is written using non-printing Unicode tag block characters that correspond to ASCII. GPT-4 is able understand these because the mapping to ASCII is trivial and made easier by some details of tokenization. This is a deprecated feature of Unicode once used to encode the language of text, but now its only supported use case is in country flag emojis.

Micro-Optimizations in Kotlin
Allow me to propose a theory:

In the realm of social media, where time is limited and the pursuit of quality content is paramount, individuals tend to gravitate towards the most extreme and polarizing statements. This often takes the form of irony, insults, and other provocative tactics, which serve to elicit "reactions" - the primary currency of the digital landscape.

In order for a meaningful conversation to take place, two parties must establish a common ground and shared context. However, in the online sphere, such foundations are often absent, as multiple parties engage in discussions without a shared set of values or contextual understanding.

The absence of physical proximity in the digital realm diminishes our capacity for empathy. It is far easier to be impolite and uncivil when communicating through a screen, as opposed to face-to-face interactions. Yet, paradoxically, we crave physical closeness and the tactile sensation of "touch" and "feeling". In the absence of physical proximity, we may resort to becoming "enraged" in order to compensate the lack of emotions.

Furthermore, the phenomenon of "echo chambers" - where our beliefs and opinions are reinforced, regardless of how outlandish they may be - only serves to exacerbate this issue. The added element of anonymity in online interactions further compounds the problem.
That whole section is BS in general. The server linked isn't going to use 1KW of power ever, not on the worst of days. The only real point that they're making is that "it's loud" which is true, very true, but, it's designed to run in a rack away from humans..

While their solution is more livable for them, the hardware is vastly inferior for actually hosting serious services on, and they don't seem to understand that because they're software guys who're getting away with it.
Right, but you can get the benefit of the walled garden by just... choosing to only install apps that have been vetted and verified by Apple through their app store, and not from anywhere else. These people are acting like the possibility of getting apps from elsewhere personally affects them, but if they are competent enough adults to know that it's more secure to get apps from the Apple App Store, then it won't, because they aren't forced to use other apps. And yeah maybe that isn't possible for old people or very young people because they aren't competent adults anymore, technologically speaking, but then maybe you could add a parental controls feature that locks down side loading apps or something like that. You don't need to remove the feature entirely to make everyone safe.
First of all, they are both just javascript - so to say you are "learning from scratch" isn't accurate - you must already know js. Second - choosing a tool based on "what is best for beginners" not a good way to choose a tool. If you are using something daily you'll only be "beginner" for a few weeks, intermediate for a year or two, and expert for many years (assuming you continue to work in that space). So choose the tool you enjoy using the most, and is a good "expert" level tool.

React and Vue are both quality "expert" level tools, so you should choose based on other criteria. If you really need a job go with react (there are 4x more react jobs than vue jobs on indeed in my area). If vue really clicks with your style of thinking maybe go with vue.

Finally just pick one and get started. They really aren't that different, and if you are in the industry long enough you'll learn many languages and frameworks. Also I would be surprised if React or Vue stay popular much longer - though there will always be work on legacy apps (hello cobol, php, spring, .net, rails, ....) Also the more experience you have the faster you can learn new things. It doesn't matter much which is you first - you aren't getting married!

As for personal experience, I've used both lightly. For each, after a few hours of going through the docs/tutorials I was productive enough to get work done in a production application. Often my code was better than the "experienced" front end devs because I have 20+ years of generalist experience, and I actually read the docs (you would be surprised how many full time react/vue devs have never read the documentation - just learned bits and pieces on youtube, etc).

They are both pretty simple. The complexity mostly comes from the users of the frameworks adding unnecessary complexity to their own applications due to bad architecture, not fully understanding the frameworks (didn't RTFM), and trying to push the frameworks beyond their sweet spots.
I am not saying to not explain the theory. I am saying that using a concrete concept makes it easier to build the mental model needed to understand the theory.
I appreciate the response. I should have clarified; I'm a solo entrepreneur, and eventually plan to hire others to mainly take over the dev work.
Yeah that reviewer should be banned if possible.

Look, I'm not bothered by the names "master" (branch) or "whitelisting" very much, although in the latter case I think allow/deny is a lot more clear. And in the former case, a rational reaction would be to say: I don't care, I won't put effort into renaming branches in existing repositories, but I can recognize that branch in other repositories regardless if it's called "main" or "master". So do what you like.
IIRC, that was also the reaction of many reputable OSS maintainers.

That being said: it seems that the review was successful in instilling rage in you.

It explicitly references all these controversies and says "if we do that, shouldn't we also ban the word 'race'"?
Doesn't that sound like parody?

And even if not, why not just answer rationally and get on with it?

This is about using words with multiple meanings to incite hate.

I haven't spent any time researching who wrote this original review (which would be a useless way to spend my time), but I'd seriously suggest taking a step back before getting so emotional about it.

This is typical rage-farming troll content. Enganging with it reinforces its message.

And its message, in my view, is not something like "anti-racism". Its message is hate against a strawman. Same as Russia did in the US elections, paying for rage-inciting ads covering all sides (BLM, Trump, Sanders, who cares) to weaken objective discourse.

Not to mention other, similar manipulations of public opinion that "play both sides".

The right way to respond to this would be to answer with the fact that the word "race" is amibigous and flag the review. Fin.
I've a few times given an analogy on her about how it's like these companies are selling really delicious chocolate and then just add shit on top of it saying its a bonus. I don't get the hype, especially when there's something quite useful in there. Why is everyone overselling everything? Not by a little, but by a lot? I feel like it's good for short term rewards but terrible for long term.
...all seriously pushed through by people who work in the industry that's by design intended to produce maximum inequality: IT startups. An incredible exercise in hypocrisy.
Beware a major bias in these Boeing analyses:

They bring to light long-term problems, flaws, critics who warned about the problems, etc. But those things are not correlated with the outcome.

Remember that correlation requires both if A then B and if not A then not B. In this case, every enterprise of the scale and complexity of Boeing has problems, critics, flaws, etc. - there is no 'not A' condition, there is no correlation.

Airbus has those issues too - they are in the 'A' state - but they didn't lose a door plug. What we're seeing is that when something goes wrong, a sufficiently well-examined enterprise (even sports teams) will have someone to say 'I told you so'.

Their analysis may be no more worthwhile than a stopped clock. And even to the extent flaws are true, that's not at all conclusive. Anyone who has had to manage anything of a certain scale - not even a very large scale - knows that such flaws are inevitable; there is not enough time, labor, or money in the world to fix them all (and imagine doing that on the scale of commercial airliners!). The art to expert, technological management is to deliver results despite the flaws, to know how to make sausage.

The question is not, why was Boeing in the 'A' state; that's inescapable. The question is, why did Boeing management fail to do their job, which is to deliver results while in the A state? If it was an IT business, I might have some perspective. Making airplanes - I have no clue how the sausage is made. We need an industry expert.

(I'll also add that one failed door plug on one plane, out of all the planes Boeing flies, is questionable data for this analysis. It's not ok, it's a failure, but it may not be data. I'd guess that more planes will be struck by lightning this year.)

>This I would take away from React only for the reason that each major version introduces some new concept that flips things on its head

I don't think that's fair. The switch from classes to functions+hooks was a significant one. Besides from that I have never felt like the React team pushed anything on me, and even that was optional, class components still work. Now, the way I write React has certainly evolved but that applies to all my code..
I read form EIA-861, which is where the data comes from.

Looks like sales to "ultimate customers" means it excludes electricity that was not sold, electricity that was sold to resellers, energy lost, etc.

The form also collects information about revenue from delivery "and other related charges"

42c/kwh delivery sounds insane. I couldn't find much data about average delivery rates, but I plugged in a few counties here and it looks like many areas have delivery rates significantly lower than that: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/RateComparison
Neither, and for wildly different reasons.
The "whole point" of embeddings is that words have a vector that represents how well that word fits into a certain categories, so words belonging together is close in that vector space. So in that sense it almost feels like this should be solvable using something simpler than a full LLM. To "just" get the embeddings of the words, and then find the groups of 4 that minimizes the total distances within the groups.
The whole point is not to use it directly in your components. It is implementation detail of that particular router. You might use router that interfaces with Redux not React directly.

Or you could write your router in the form of a service that lives directly in the history api event handlers and communicates directly though react state setters of some top-level component. Not a single useEffect needed.

Besides, router doesn't usually send you anything. It just sets props on your components according to url.
I mean warmer or colder compared to holding nothing.
Maybe, but that's a very limited collection of apps, and I would imagine that such sufficiently popular and well-known apps would actually have a reputation to uphold and proper technical support to ensure that installation is properly verified and that their apps don't contain viruses. Maybe more surveillance might get through, but the solution to that is to have a better sandboxing and permissions model that prevents unwanted data collection by default, since app sandboxing isn't possible to get around by just having your app be downloaded from somewhere else, since it all still has to run on the same phone.

Study in the USA. You can always go to Europe in the future, but a T200 degree for $80k is worth it imo.

Your English (from this) appears operational and you will get many contacts in the USA, and if you make money in the USA it will go further if you later decide to go to the EU or back home.

You also get four years of stability to withstand whatever winds may blow.
