> Even in absence of this conflict, the acknowledgement of one's autism is useful from a self-compassion and tolerance standpoint

What is "autism"? It is a dimension, a continuum, (even a set of dimensions) not an either-or category. Of course, at certain level of extremity or severity of impairment, the dimensional becomes effectively categorical. But as you move along that continuum in the other direction, there is no clearcut boundary between it and "normality"/"neurotypicality", nor is there a clearcut boundary between it and other distinct forms of "aneurotypicality" with which it has significant overlap (e.g ADHD, OCD, the schizophrenia spectrum, personality disorders, PTSD, eating disorders, giftedness and intellectual disability). Clinical diagnosis is always going to have a subjective element – cases far from those boundaries almost everyone will diagnose the same way, but near those boundaries the diagnostic outcome often says more about the clinician than about the patient/client. The boundary is shifting over time, it varies geographically, and it is questionable to what extent the justification for that spatiotemporal variation is scientific, as opposed to social/cultural/political.

Do I have autism? Well, do I want to have autism? I once almost paid over $1000 for an ASD assessment for myself, but my psychologist and psychiatrist talked me out of – they both said "if you really want to pay over $1000 for a piece of paper telling you what you already know, go right ahead-but maybe there are other things you'd rather spend that money on?" I decided for now to take their advice. But if I ever decide I really want to add ASD to my personal diagnosis collection, I can fork that money out and I'd be rather surprised if I didn't get it.

I have the traits I have, but a diagnostic label is not the same thing as the traits it labels. Our son's psychiatrist once said to me something which will always stick in my head: "psychiatric diagnoses are these strange hybrids of scientific theories and cultural constructs; some clinicians put more emphasis on the scientific theory perspective and others more on the cultural construct perspective; I myself don't have a firm view on the correct balance between those two perspectives, because I haven't been keeping up to date with the research literature on those debates"

There are certain aspects of computing that will probably always be around. We'll always need fast compilers that generate fast code -- people don't want slow programs, and programmers don't want to wait for compiles to finish. Relational databases aren't disappearing anytime soon. And as we keep getting smaller and smaller devices, we'll keep shrinking things down, so we'll need new ways of representing and compressing data. The list goes on and on. If you can get comfortable with things like these, you'll always be useful to somebody.

(And yes, COBOL will be with us for many years to come. In the next century, we'll probably be emulating IBM mainframes on quantum computers.)
A while ago I compared the memory usage of Electron and Tauri/Webview, and Electron did same if not better in RAM usage.

… that's really not the idea I'm trying to convey with the comment.

Clearly, if you feed a program a larger file that it is going to read into memory to process, it is then expected that it will consume more resources on account of it doing more work. But that is memory being expended on visible, useful work. All of the examples in the comment are referring to memory being "allocated" (in the sense of being assigned to the program) but not fulfilling any visibly useful function insofar as the operator/programmer can see: Java's GC being unable to effectively reclaim unused memory prior to killing a machine, the OP's example of a Vec allocating without (seemingly) have a purpose (…as it is excess of what is required to allow for amortized appends).

The problem with spotify (from my perspective as a musician in a small band) is that unless you are the most popular music act there is spotify money is nothing. Even a somewhat popular act that is played on national radio and plays on festivals will often earn more selling shirts on a single tour than they will with a year of spotify.

The bigger you are the more you earn per stream and the small ones will earn next to nothing.
> In Washington, DC, though, there seems to be a growing consensus that the tech giants need to cough up.

> Today, at a Senate hearing on AI’s impact on journalism, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle agreed that OpenAI and others should pay media outlets for using their work in AI projects. “It’s not only morally right,” said Richard Blumenthal, the Democrat who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law that held the hearing. “It’s legally required.”

> Josh Hawley, a Republican working with Blumenthal on AI legislation, agreed. “It shouldn’t be that just because the biggest companies in the world want to gobble up your data, they should be able to do it,” he said.

Unless I downshift using paddles, my ICE will coast forever from 75. My PHEV, on the other hand, will slow down much faster. I want my PHEV to illuminate the brake lights if I'm decelerating above a certain rate, just as you suggest.

It never occurred to me that I might want my ICE to do the same, but I suppose it would be helpful if I'm heading downhill and downshift without touching the brake.

Doesn't Qt make you pay for a license in order to statically link?
Good question. The W520 wants 20V (at up to 170W). Looks like the newish USB PD standard can supply 20V in addition to 5V. So maybe it could be done with a current/forthcoming consumer USB PD wallwart, without needing to add additional power circuitry?

It is not new. It is going on since some years. A lot of companies (hello Microsoft) say that they care about your privacy, while collecting every piece of it.

For the eastern-european eye the whole leaf-blower contraption seems to be an extreme waste of resources. A broom and a rake are better in almost every way in my untrained broom&rake using eyes. The single reasonable usecase I saw it in action was when street-cleaners blew out cigarette buds (another waste of resources actually, both cigarettes and littering) from the rock ballast of railway tracks using leaf-blower machines (or something similar).

How could it become so popular, does it have any benefits apart from using a machine for the sake of using a machine, and showing off (as it initially has been probably)?
Oh that's interesting, thank you. I never knew that so much of this stuff was originally written in assembly, I thought it was all 'C' from day #1.

No.

I'm pointing out that it's not a completely foreign concept, and easy to understand if you slot in a different value system.

Interesting we managed several schema changes when using AWS DMS for replicating data over a long period between MySQL and Postgres clusters.

We treated these carefully and tested as we made them but never had any real issues with them. From memory DMS could cope with adding columns pretty transparently. One setting we invested in configuring and understanding was to allow DMS to attempt to recover from replication failures. This allowed it to error on DDL changes and attempt to recover. This usually involved restarting the task, but it would do this transparently as part of the recovery.
They could have probably used pgpool [1] to avoid relying on the DNS (you never know in the chain who's not respecting the TTL).

With this, you can choose which queries are ending up where - and migrating the DB endpoint can be done once, centrally

Indeed, I just wanted to point out that the "game changing" desire of entropyie to fully automate payments can still be done with GNU Taler. So you are right that the scammer in the default deployment won't succeed, but additionally entropyie could still totally get what entropyie wants as a feature on their own system (and conceivably make this reasonably secure, too).

I can speak to and endorse this kind of unit from personal experience. I was born, raised and lived most of my life in Denver, CO. Now, I live in France in a 'single-stair multifamily'.

Growing up I mostly lived in single family homes, but in college my dad moved into a townhouse and I lived with him for a couple years.

Before moving to France, my wife and I lived in single family homes and a '5-over-1' apartment.

Now, we live on the 7th floor, end-unit of an apartment building. It's a 'single-stair multifamily,' 'floor-through' apartment (thankfully with an elevator). Meaning our apartment a large balcony one one side and windows on three sides. The only side without a window leads to the stairwell. Every room has a window, even the bathroom and toilet (often separated in France).

Without a doubt, this place is one of the best types of housing I've ever occupied. In the summer we can open up windows on either side of the apartment and get a fantastic breeze. The concrete structure does a great job regulating the temperature for most of the year. We get sunlight in the morning and evening.

I hate yardwork and there's none to do. No sidewalks to shovel snow from either. I also experience neighborliness on par with most single family homes. Very similar to my dad's townhouse actually (probably not by coincidence if you think about the incentive structures).

We have a 5 year old son and we don't miss having a yard. There are parks nearby with playgrounds and paths where he can safely ride his bike without worrying about any cars.

Admittedly, I do miss having barbecues in the backyard. I also miss having a garage to use as a workshop.

The 5-over-1, on the other hand, was easily the worst type of housing I've occupied. Poor lighting, anonymous, ugly corridors. No sense of neighborliness. Poorly maintained and constructed. Nowhere near a good park without walking along a nasty arterial surface street.

I frequently ask myself, 'why can't we have this in the States?!' and now I know why. Building codes, zoning and city planners strike again.
I can heartily recommend that episode if you like a podcast to a) be respectful to the victims and b) clown on the people who caused it.

If you use Qt under the GPL, you can statically link Qt with your application, but your application must also be licensed under the GPL. If not, then yes, you need to pay for a license. That's from what I know.
No, my entire comment thread is about this article pretending to have invented a third option, when in fact it's still just the two. It's a bullshit clickbait headline, where a more honest one would have been "Endless fundraising isn't necessary" or something. Everyone clearly doesn't know what everyone else means, or else the headline wouldn't be misleading and someone else wouldn't have tried to convince me that 'venture-backed' means your business should be a ponzi scheme.
I wonder what leads Microsoft to name things the way they do.

When they released a new browser in 2015, they called it Edge to distinguish it from Internet Explorer, which had built up quite a reputation for not being particularly fast, secure or accurate in rendering websites.

However, after those efforts failed, they released their new Chromium-based browser and also called it Edge, despite the old Edge also not having a great reputation for rendering webpages accurately. There was virtually nothing in common between the two browsers (even some of the keyboard shortcuts were different), so I'm not sure why they did that.

Likewise, Bing doesn't have the best reputation (regardless of its current real world usefulness in comparison to Google Search), so you think they'd have taken the opportunity to give their new AI assisted search engine a new name, even if much of the same technology for the search engine side was the same.

Anecdotally, I almost never used Bing until Bing Chat released. I still don't use Bing for everything (I guess because Firefox, Chrome and Safari all have Google set as the default and I haven't done enough research to know which search engine currently has the best results), but if I'm searching for something that is difficult to find, I'll often use Bing Chat.

Bing Chat is very far from perfect. I still think things used to be easier to find on Google. But now with so much SEO spam, Bing Chat often helps me find things that I'd otherwise struggle to find. It's also useful when you want information on a topic but don't know what specifically you need to search for.

Will be interesting to see what Microsoft tries to get more users (renaming it Copilot may help but I'm skeptical that that alone will attract many users.) Hopefully they can come up with something better than the dark design patterns that they've tried to get people to use Edge. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35787707

The article somehow states that money from private equity and venture capital is poison that will kill new companies and harm the public.

I wonder how you can grow a company without outside investors? Either you are a very rich founder or you can try to grow it organically but very slowly. If you attempt to do the later you'll find yourself in a position where is very hard to succeed, moreso if your company doesn't do anything new and the competition has lots of cash to succeed.

If you are in a internet business, you either charge users for the service or sell ads. Until now there's no better proven way to monetize.

If you intend to charge users for the service without selling ads, then you can do it regardless of how the money came to finance the business.

In retrospect, it seems like a bad business prospective from the start, with low potential. Had the potential been better, VC wouldn't force them to sell ads and wouldn't have tried to exit the business so fast.
Any decision that limits my ability to use third-party apps, accepting, etc. is a compromise not worth making.

Actually what's a warning or not is implementation defined, it's not defined in C.

If you're serious about your code, you will turn on -Werror -Wall -Wextra and anything else you don't like the look of, use static analysis and so on that makes this class of complaint moot.
Nobody CAN publish them. An actual criterion for most top journals is literally "novelty". Reviewers will immediately levee "this has been done before" as a damning critique in peer review. There is no replication because you can't currently share replications, let alone sustain a career on them.

I'm not sure whether you think I'm being unfair to Google or to OpenAI.

Everybody and their brother sued Google early on for a huge variety of their products. Google News got sued for showing headlines from news websites. Google Books got sued for copyright violations for, y'know, making a copy of everybody's books. Back in 2007, Google would've been in the middle of the the Viacom vs YouTube lawsuit. The whole idea of a search engine is fundamentally about taking all of the useful and mostly copyrighted content out there owned by others and profiting off of it by becoming the gateway to it.

OpenAI, similarly, works by taking all of the text and art and everything in the world, most of it owned by others, then copying it, collating it, and compressing it down into a model. Then they provide access to it in novel ways. I make no representation about whether it's legal or ethical. It's transformative, useful, novel, and really cool, but it's clearly taking other people's data, and then making it useful and accessible in a novel way.
That's fascinating. Huning is the Chinese de Tocqueville.

That view from Iowa in the 1980s is useful.

He notices how weak the US political parties, as organizations, are. They were once far stronger, especially in big cities, where political machines outlasted individual candidates. But that had run down by the 1980s. Partly because of television. Once candidates no longer depended on the party to promote them, parties became far less important. Parties don't really pick candidates any more.

The self-organizing thing is significant. That's very Iowa, where farmer co-ops are still politically important. The leadership in China is absolutely terrified of any form of self-organization. People coming together in a group to make something happen is usually illegal.

He clearly liked the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and was impressed that it was free back then. It was free when I was a kid. It's US$26 to get in now. US$15 for kids.
Why would it matter to other drivers whether you brake using regen or your brakes? Either way you're slowing down.
I know they legally aren't, my point is more that the difference between a PS5 and an iPhone when it comes to general purpose computing capability is entirely arbitrary. If Sony is allowed to claim that their perfectly normal desktop tower running their proprietary flavour of Linux is not a general purpose computing device because reasons, then Apple should be free to claim the same for their phones (and vice versa).

I'm saying that ASD only really matters for when support is needed. Diagnosis can open doors to government provided support.

I think self-diagnosis is fine for people who don't require support. Though I've noticed that some people will both not acknowledge it, but at the same time unconsciously hold prejudices in relation to this 'difference' that they don't acknowledge, often in condescending ways.
Well you’ve certainly introduced a teaching moment to me! What are the nature of writes you deal with that last 30+ minutes? What kind of data/what kind of people are involved with such DB writes where you need to rely on the DB engine to work so hard instead of something more split up by queues at a higher layer?
> because it can’t hire some system administrators?

Spoken like someone who has never worked in the public sector. Hiring can easily take 6+ months or more due to an ever-increasing list of requirements that government HR is required to fulfill, not least of which is passing a security clearance which takes even more time. The best people on the market rarely have the patience for this. Once your employees do get hired - on-boarding can take another few/several/more months, getting various permissions, technical documentation, etc. Everything is out-of-date because making changes requires committee consensus, in a culture that is risk-averse, because nobody notices when you out-perform (after all, the requirements were also set by a committee that doesn't know who you are) but something going wrong is grounds for termination. Public sector work over-relies on hiring contractors precisely to shift blame for failure to the contractors. Managed database services are excellent tools to shift this kind of catastrophic risk of data loss to a contractor/vendor (who is managing the database).

Governments not owning their data isn't due to technical or budgetary limitations - it's strictly cultural.
Yes, but that's a big "if". When you start looking at it from the perspective "I don't need binary compatibility with microcontrollers", you realize that opcode space has been wasted on things that you don't need. It's similar to how x86 has wasted several single-byte encodings on instructions that are never used in modern programs. The extensions that you end up wanting to do overlap with the base ISA, but with slightly different semantics.

It's manageable and you can live with it, but already from the start you have an unnecessary legacy that needs to be handled.

If there is enough consensus in the industry, a new revision may be the best way forward.
