One of my very very best friends was my coworker. We went to Devops Days Berlin together which was a dream come true for two house music fans from Toronto. We went to Berghain! We’ve been hanging out for about a decade. He dropped everything with his wife and kid to bring me supplies when the building I lived in got a worst-case infestation of bedbugs during the pandemic. He always invites me to his DJ shows and we message almost every day.

Now that’s something to be grateful for.

As cgeier put it: hard disagree.

Love you buddy.
I don't understand why people are using Spotify to get data instead of Discogs?
It is still painful if you're an installer. You have to chase walls, pull up carpets and floorboards, install trunking etc.

Why on earth would you do that when you can just use wireless? It would make zero sense.
Wasnt it bcs alliance text appeared different to horde and kek translated to lol

whats the difference between merch logos and regular toy brand for the kid? they dont care. as a parent i also dont realy care if they having fun.
Location. Like male circumcision it simply doesnt exist outside of the USA, unless you count random african countries like Ghana.

No idea why, if anyone wants to enlighten me let me know.
The deterministic myth only works out for basic types, see Herb Stutter CppCon 2015 talk on the matter, and how performance workarounds turn out a poor man's GC.
A little known secret is that you can actually search not only backward (ctrl+r), but also forward (ctrl+s). The problem is ctrl+s is bound by default to (obscure terminal thing) that stops your terminal from outputting anything. This can be disabled with stty stop ^-, and then ctrl+s will work as intended.
I agree. I’ve written about this before but this is what murex (1) does. It reimplements some of coreutils where there are benefits in doing so (eg sed, grep etc -like parsing of lists that are in formats other than flat lines of text. Such as JSON arrays)

Mutex does this by having these utilities named slightly different to their POSIX counterparts. So you can use all of the existing CLI tools completely but additionally have a bunch of new stuff too.

Far too many alt shells these days try to replace coreutils and that just creates friction in my opinion.

What blackouts are you talking about? I'm in Moscow. Never heard of that.
My point is more on general development, if you want to speed run wealth, capital, expertise, skill accumulation, it's safety 10th, you throw as many bodies into as many industries as you can and start building industrial/talent base. The output of throwing the entire bellcurve will be a lot of garbage, especially if only top 1% is "adequate" quality by western standards, but if you're a large country with population scale, you can generate enough 1% to to significantly drive/snowball higher value development. India has a space program while smaller richer countries don't because they've got enough surplus talent to pursue one. In the the meantime, that other 99% of bad to medicore goods, the factory fires, the collapsed buildings will become a historic footnote even a generation later. Chinese citizens with 40x more income, all the meat they can eat, air conditioners, cars etc aren't thinking about Foxconn suicide nets from 10 years ago. The TLDR for me is chabuduo, or close enough quality / effort applied at scale (if one has it and India does) is very powerful.

But as expat who lived in PRC and been to India, I know what you mean. Every country, especially larger ones will have enough elites and market for high quality services. Sometimes there's even premium vs west, i.e. PRC in the 90s, you want best western stuff, chances are there's big tariff or extra transaction fees from smuggling. Services especially, experts/expats who offer their rare skills in developing countries will charge premium if anything. And somethings you simply can't get, i.e. wealthy South East Asians going to Singapore for top tier private medical treatment because they don't have enough rich elites to support a tier1 private hospital at home. I know Canadian (with universal coverage) diasphora who wanted to retire like king in SEA but realized they need a few 100k sitting around in case of medical crisis. Then more country develops the more market for high quality goods/services and price start coming down due to more competition addressing the market. Like there's tier3 Chinese cities where you can live like king and still have decent access to high quality goods and services.

As I said, it might be a terrible financial decision to finance a phone, but a lot of people still make that decision.

You don't need to be rich to have a payment plan of $40 a month for 3 years.
Both things are probably true.

The economy seems to be doing fairly well –– at least it was in 2023. Even tech is mostly fine, apart from the deeply unprofitable startups. The tech job market on the other hand seems to be suffering from several headwinds at once...

You have pandemic reopening slowing demand for a lot of tech companies and causing them to cut back on hiring. High interest rates are reducing valuations of unprofitable tech companies which has resulted in a slowdown in startup investment. Where capital is available it's largely going to small AI startups who are spending 90% of their capital on compute rather than tech talent. Finally, you have the largest tech companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon cutting jobs which has led to the market becoming flooded with extremely talented tech workers at a time when tech graduates entering the job market are at all time highs.

When you have very few companies hiring and lots of companies cutting jobs at a time when lots of new workers are entering the market the average tech worker isn't going to have an easy time finding a job. I've seen a lot of pleads for work on Linkedin too. I'm getting texts regularly now from ex-employees seeking working after being out of work for months. I don't quite understand how some people are still in denial at this point.
Less so than kids at school wearing apparel with very prominent branding. At least, people usually don't pay for commercial merch.

He’s a pastor, not a priest. They have a whole thing about indulgences. It’s kinda their founding prohibition.

Though based on this guy’s fundamental moral failings, that probably wouldn’t have stopped him…
Not at all, they deserve the same quality life of their bosses, getting rich from western money while exploring passionate slaves, in modern feudalism.
Such an assertion given that confidently demands a source. I very much doubt most people have such an overwhelming preference towards reading that they’d prefer to read an automated transcript which may contain inaccuracies over watching the ten minute source. If what you said is true, YouTube’s most popular feature would be downloading subtitles.
> If the life formed by randomness, according to this old Discovery video[1], it defies law of probability.

Evolution is not random. The mutations that make it possible are, but natural selection makes it a non-random process.

If you make a random number generator, but keep more of the odd numbers, you'll get a non-random result set.
Personal engineering experiences, Boeing accepts QA reports from vendors without reading them. Airbus reviews similar reports and challenges the tiniest thing.

Tis one of the many reasons I fly Airbus.
If you go deconstructionist enough you can fall back to absurdism or nihilism and just say none of it matters and it's all bullshit; that's just the way subjective topics like the meaning of society, humanity, etc works. You can also subjectively find meaning in almost any job that isn't digging and then filling back up the hole you just dug. That's why people criticize his take on work.
Again, nothing is incorrect here: a margin is only waste if you’re a Walmart MBA obsessed with lowering costs. If the DOT builds a bridge with a 70 ton rating and it doesn’t collapse when an 80 ton truck drives over it, that’s not waste but rather the engineers prudently including a safety margin in each component to protect against minor defects or inconsistencies meaning that one component being slightly under spec causes the entire system to fail.

NASA and aerospace as a field traditionally have a bias towards that kind of overlapping safety margins because the kinds of failures they get destroy the entire air/space-craft. If some MBA at GE cost-optimizes your dishwasher, they’re better off trimming “waste” until it dies the day after the warranty expires as long as it doesn’t fail in a way which causes you never to buy their brand again. NASA faces far more catastrophic failures and because their systems are all custom with economy of scale for large product runs and their missions by necessity have a hefty base cost so it doesn’t make sense to save $50k on rover parts when you are paying $500M to ship it to Mars.
Interesting numbers. My first instinct was that you might be reading it wrong, but you seem to be completely correct. The average use for the US is usually claimed to be about 4x that at 880kWh/month: https://www.energybot.com/blog/average-energy-consumption.ht...

I think the main difference is the prevalence of electric heating and cooling in different countries. We have a ~1400 sq ft old house in Vermont with wood heat and no air conditioning, and use about 250 kWh many months, although this jumps about 50% if we plug in an outdoor hot tub in the winter.

Our personal usage is probably dominated by an electric heat pump water heater. Do the British numbers typically include hot water, or is this usually gas? Also, what is the "multi-rate" line in the page you link, and why is this average higher? And how many people choose that?
C++ is still widely used for applications in some industries (games, finance), although this is less true than it was a decade ago

I'm not sure how being fully submerged for long periods of time affects this, but in outdoor culture there are sayings like "warm when wet" - pertaining to certain fabrics such as wool and polyester.

One famous strategy is the pile and pertex combination. Where you have a thin basically windproof but not waterproof shell made typically from Pertex, and then fake fur from polyster on the inside.

These jackets are used to (might still be) be worn by law enforcement to old school rock climbers for it's ability to keep you warm and damp for hours.

There are videos of people submerging in ice cold water and "walking it off" until they are damp but warm again.

Another saying is "cotton kills", because it does not provide warmth when wet and also sucks up insane amounts of water for its weight, so it bascially never dries out.
Im gonna nerd out here:

America has a long history of "preachers", and "evangelists". I was in a thread yesterday that referenced Johnny Appleseed who was ministering and planting nurserys.

There is "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinners_in_the_Hands_of_an_Ang... ) That continues to be looked at and dwelled upon.

This carries through into modern times... Sam Kinison who was a famous and very distinct comedian gets a lot of his style from being a tent revival style preacher (You can watch is comedy that is very NSFW and his preaching its an interesting counter point). Mind you Sam is a contemporary of Jim Baker (a massive scandal that makes this one look small), and his wife Tammy Fay. And in the very present The show The Righteous Gemstones makes fun of the excess and money that preachers can generate.
Not every human is created equal when it comes to ear and sound processing. I have met people with sub 20Hz hearing, and people with ears so sharp, they were able to pick a single wrong note from a single instrument while watching a recording of a symphony orchestra (I played together with them).

MP3@320kbps CBR and AAC@256kbps are pretty good for normal listening, but if you have the hardware to render, lossless formats creates a richer soundstage. I have an amplifier which can render it, and I'm listening music with it for 30 years now, so I can hear the difference.

At the end of the day, if your audio pipeline can render the differential residue between MP3@320kbps and FLAC, you can hear it.

Now, you can say that "are you attentive enough to perceive such difference", I'm not listening that intently 75% of the time, but it pays off when I put some time aside to listen to my favorite album for the sake of listening it.
Yes, please: let's keep pushing this narrative that we are supposed to all be lonely, isolated, selfish, individual people. Building friendships and relationships is bad for us, don't you know.

Sigh.

Utter tripe. Good Lord, the West is really psyching itself out on these topics at a time of record-low birthrates and societal decay. No, Psychology Today: we need to be making more friends everywhere we can, even at work.

I completely got that. A few months ago I'd have said you are being dramatic, but the insane mental gymnastics that people do to justify and even cheering for Israel's actions while at the very same time have the reaction they had to Ukraine getting invaded back in 2022 leaves me with no other possible conclusion. And to be honest I don't even care, I get it and I don't expect westerners to care about us but what annoys me is truly that they actually believe that there is no hypocrisy or biais. So they just go on full on revisionism, colonialist apologia, they suddenly believe everything the military that is currently killing civilians says, and they use literal Russian tier arguments of "well they voted for Hamas 15 years ago!". Just because Israel is on our side, so what they do is justified, and Russia isn't

Like, Israel openly claiming that their goal is to basically relocate and displace the local Gaza population is good actually, it's just self defense. And hey, we can't avoid civilian deaths and Israel has the right to self defense (defense is when you colonize another nation). It's insane, Israeli officials are super open about their objectives but it seems like Israel supporters know better than them.
I don't expect anything from him. I just think it's funny how society boycotted certain MIT people for hanging around Epstein but a murderer gets top billing on HN.
That never happened on Android, why would it be different on iPhone?
Very nice presentation, and very nice documentation at https://smtpsmuggling.com/.

I find it crazy that Microsoft did not give a bounty for that... it's not like they don't have the money. They should not be surprised if researchers sell those exploits instead of disclosing them.

No comment about Cisco except... well how can one trust them after something like this?

I wonder if OpenSMTPD is vulnerable or not, I'll try to use the provided scanners and find out :-).
SIngapore could've stagnated without good leadership?

Singapore did stagnate without good leadership for a couple of 100 years there, didn't it? Until it suddenly (over the course of a couple of decades) didn't.

Put it in the garage. Or a dedicated laundry room.
The RAII/ref-counting technique often works great, but not always. Cyclic structures are a problem -- so, if you've got, say, a global tree structure with bidirectional parent/child links, you'll need some kind of special-casing to make ref-counting clean up an entire abandoned subtree. A full GC does take care of cases like this.
But probably not the board or a lot of their investors

Not sure, but isn't using _ instead of the more intuitive /italics/ a big mistake on the syntax side?
> Is it aiming to be POSIX-compliant/compatible with Bourne shell?

No? It never claimed to be aiming to be POSIX-compliant. It seems like it's just making it easier to write "scripts", or do the equivalent of writing a script, in JS.

And if you're NOT using this, then you're also not guaranteed to have a POSIX-compliant shell since you may be on Windows, for example
The argument was "[it] takes so much money and know how buildup that only nations and maybe the top 5 or so companies could pull it off. ", so the funding was the question, not who runs it.
I think it's still accurate if someone looks outside their own bubble.

Communication, opportunity, and opening a world of experiences are definite positives and I'd say a necessary growth path; but the current structure and experiences includes an infinite amount of negative.

It would've been nice if we could've avoided the 'systemic filth' (not talking sexual, more just the ever growing mass of problems associated with digital existence) or shown more care/thought when it comes to the effects on people beyond the 'hey look a shiny new idea'(and maybe not just leaning into creations even harder because there's a audience for it), but it kinda comes with the territory with human growth.

TLDR: A mildly nihilistic take overall, oops.
I'm friendly with people at work but I tend to keep boundaries on what I share. I wouldn't, for instance, discuss a romantic problem with them but I would tell them what I did for fun over the weekend. When I was younger I was more open with friends at work about all sorts of things but it came back to bite me in the ass. People at work like to gossip about everything and everyone so I avoid telling people anything I wouldn't want to be public knowledge.

Another big reason is the lack of value types in languages like Java. Modern languages with a GC tend to have those, and where it makes sense to use them they help, a lot.
I'll convert your example to GFM.

| first row, first column | first row, second column | first row, third column |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| second row, first column | second row, second column | second row, third column |

To me, this is more readable than the HTML version.
I had the exact opposite impression, FWIW. I understood implicitly (assumed?) that it was implementing its own commands

Depends how you look at it I think. AI isn't directly replacing jobs, but it did suck most of the available investment capital from workers in 2023.

AI companies were really the only tech startups getting funded in 2023, but unlike traditional startups where most of that funding would go to building out a team of engineers to build the product, AI startups tend to have smaller teams and most of the funding goes to compute.
Could the many calories of the alcohol help in such situations?

Eating fat during a ship sinking accident is probably better, but alcohol has more calories than sugar and having enough energy to survive in the cold is important.

In this vein, it’s great that decades-old Common Lisp books are still current. The paucity of Web content is not as bad as it seems: you can get a real book.
If you bring free sweets to a consumer show, you will get a lot of happy smiles on small faces and unmeasurably small business effect. At least you get some smiles, so not a total waste. Some customers will probably be a little less likely to do business with you because they think you are trying too hard, but I don't think it's a big effect.
Well, having read (or rather: started to read/tried to read) many of Stephen's blog posts, I would argue that not every single one of his musings should be recorded. :-)
+1 nice summary! I have been using Common Lisp since the early 1980s and I also love the language. For my own Lisp hacking pleasure, I add a few Schemes to the mix, but that is often a (fun) distraction for me, and I would be better off sticking with CL (or Python for deep learning projects).

Do you have a blog where you share your learning experiences?
What? RAII is totally deterministic, not sure what you want to contend here. CppCon 2015: Herb Sutter "Writing Good C++14... By Default": Not sure where I'm going to find my answer here.

Anyway, for complex state that must be cleaned up, maybe flushed before etc., you'll always find a lot of manual cleanup code, or otherwise find code with lots of random problems, often unreported. That is true both for GC languages as well as C++ and other languages with RAII or RAII-likes.

I don't know, man. I am in a few casual programmer circles and I know two people who have stuck with D like their life depends on it, and they are constantly facing issues with weird language quirks making it impossible to write good, safe code.
