Gaza before the war had an HDI higher than many nations (look it up). It had areas described as wealthy.

It seems critical thinking has gone out the window.
That’s hilarious. I have read a few things he has written which suggests he’s definitely better than the average technical generalist. I haven’t read everything obviously but he has written quite a lot https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WLN3QrAAAAAJ
Off topic, but on Friday the minister of Science and Higher Education in Norway had to step down, after someone found out about 22 % of her master thesis was plagiarized. Why did someone look into this? Because she and her department is taking a case against a student to our highest court about "self plagiarism", which everyone thinks is unfair. So quite ironic she was the real plagiarist.

And then media jumped on the wagon and started checking everyone. A second minister is now also in trouble after not only having plagiarized, but then invented source interviews (aka science fraud).
I didn't know televangelist were a thing until a year or two ago, and remember having my mind blown (in a "but why" way).

How is that a thing. Why do so many people fall for it? How do these people get discovered. The only reason I know about them is because of a meme YouTube video where a reporter drilled a televangelist on camera.

Aside: may I propose we style the Internet variety as eVangelists?

In the context of p-adic numbers and p-adic analysis, "lifting" generally refers to a process where an object defined in a simpler or more restricted setting (like modulo a power of a prime number) is extended or 'lifted' to a more complex or complete setting (like the p-adic numbers).
The article is talking about the new ugliness somewhat more, that's what I am trying to address.

But, ironically, my comment of "you can find what you look for" is applicable for your observation too ;)

Besides, it's okay to agree with some points and disagree with some points.

Oh God fuck HP, their EFI always seems to be the most crippled yet full of BS ones. Unfortunately we currently have a deal with HP at work for workstations and had all kinds of B/S going on with the setup utility, upgrading it, enabling stuff etc. we were with Fujitsu for ages before and they mostly just had very stock looking setups that even were still good old text mode.
This is hilarious, thank you! Hahaha! :) Next time the plane goes down, have to remember that: crack open the brokerage account, ladel on the puts hahaha :) might even be an incentive to start taking MAXes preferentially :ghost_face:
I’ve got a counterpoint: we finally have the time to breathe and actually notice the ugliness. You don’t care about looks in a time of war. You put a lot of effort into “looks” and loving well shortly after a war as a rebound “look now it’s so better” compensation. We’ve instead (mostly) plateaued, which, at a (mostly) global level isn’t necessarily bad.

(Of course, if art is a reflection of present-day it’s not necessarily predicting a stable future in the context of global warming/water wars etc. I wonder if more graffiti will show up on these themes over time.)
We also work with feature branches and I try to understand which signs will tell if we have to much integration problems because of the feature branches. Right now we really focus on closing pull requests as fast as possible, but still use feature branches that live for a few weeks. I think the maximum lifetime of a feature branch in our project is 5 weeks.

You mentioned very short lived feature branches. What does that mean in your case? A few days or weeks?

This may be a stupid question, but what makes this a fuzzer exactly?

I think would call this a formatter, as it doesn't seem to do any mutations or executions itself. I would call AFL a fuzzer.

I would think at the minimum a fuzzer would more or less copy the mutation aspect, because to me that's what makes fuzzers uniquely useful.

Curious to hear your thoughts, or if mutations are a planned feature I missed

Discussion from 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33894679
Well then I could have been much clearer because I meant something like the latter.

An ML model can neither have nor be in breach of copyright so any discussion about how it works, and how that relates to how people work or “learn” is besides the point.

What actually matters is firstly details about collation of source material, and later the particular legal details surrounding attribution. The last part involves breaking new ground legally speaking and IANAL so I will reserve judgement. The first part, collation of source material for training is emphatically not unexplored legal or moral territory. People are acting like none of the established processes apply in the case of LLMs and handwave about “learning” to defend it.
It's painful to add wiring to a house as a random normie user. It's not painful if you're an installer or a construction person.

Or at least this is my understanding why all construction is still done in a way that makes it near-impossible for the user/dweller to change anything without having to do general renovation of half the place. Which, again, is hard primarily because it makes no sense to buy all the hardware that makes such work easy for a single job.
So without a QR, there's also one less customer who needs a QR to order.

Perhaps brutalism is common where you live, but here in the Netherlands I would love to see more brutalist architecture as it is at the very least distinct. All houses here are (legally mandated almost) to have the same brick brown color.
Awesome to see this here.

I've been working on Tampa Devs with the other co-founder since September of 2021, along with a group of really excellent volunteers.

We're a nonprofit that's loosely inspired by nyc's Recurse Center (https://www.recurse.com/). We host events, a mentorship program, and career development resources. All of which are free or very low cost.

Our community has grown to include thousands of local developers. It feels good to be part of something that drives a widely positive impact, especially on a local level. Anyone can do something similar no matter where they are, and I would highly recommend it.

For a cool technical angle, here's a talk I gave at a local conference on the tools we use to run our community at scale: https://go.tampa.dev/unityops.

I see it in another way: in the past aesthetics and the richness in the detail was beloved to connected with the divine and sublime, and in a more contemporary times is related something more experimental.

However, in the modern world with set of regulations plus complexities with urban places, and cost of build is not viable to have such so great ornaments around.

For instance: one of most recognised and awarded architects had a lot of criticism[1] due to a new set requirements for urban life.

Apart from the p tag, that gets annoying when you have long stretches of prose, I find plain html5 much less annoying than markdown. Moreover, tables and hyperlinks are clearer and easier to type in html5 than in any markdown flavor.
My city and apparently numerous cities in my area have passed ordinances that new buildings over a certain size have to have multiple facades to look like multiple buildings butted up to each other. The effect has been this astonishingly hideous theme park esq approximation of small town America that isn’t fooling anyone. It looks more out of place next to the actual turn of the twentieth century buildings than an unambiguously new building would.

We can all see quite clearly this block long apartment building isn’t actually 5 buildings. Yet, now we have to suffer five hideous facades.
I never felt the need/use for reintegrating release branches. I just fork those off so that new developments with more unstable code can continue in the mainline. Any hotfixes in the release branch then must be applied both to the release branch and the mainline, but I don’t think that’s a drawback. Usually it’s a workaround in the release branch but a more thorough refactoring in the mainline to solve the issue long term.

As an added bonus you can have multiple release branches for 1.0 and 2.0 at the same time, or even forked release branches where 1.1 is forked from 1.0 if necessary.

What? The parent seems to argue that it's good enough that "most of the time" it's the correct SSN that's declared dead. No big deal that occasionally the wrong SSN is blamed. How can that be good enough? The point of all these systems is that they can go wrong. And since we are dealing with people who, you know, have other things to do than fixing other people's mistakes, then these systems must make it easy to correct the problems. And should minimize the consequences. And probably compensate for them.

What does that even mean "annoy the "false positives"" in this case? You mean just leave them dead?

Outside of academic contexts, the concept of plagiarism in itself doesn't make a lot of sense or have much meaning until it reaches what would otherwise be copyright infringement or involves trade secrets/non-disclosure agreements.

Nobody would care in a business meeting if you copied a random graph without citation or included data in a pitch deck. Reusing a presentation or publishing an article several times in trade publications with a bit of tweaking is pretty normal.

(I wrote an earlier reply to you, then deleted it, but keep on thinking about your post, so have come back to it. Please feel free to ignore me completely, but be sure that this brief comment is written with the very best of intentions.)

I (obviously) have no particular insight into your situation, but I can't help thinking that in the situation you describe, QR code ordering isn't the root cause of your stress, but is maybe triggering stress related to other issues within your group dynamic?

Consider a generic family group: in general, on most occasions, should they be able to work out how to order food together without too much stress being generated? I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation.

And if you're not able to do this, maybe it's time to both introspect and discuss (with your partner, and/or children?) why - and consider new approaches to the situation and the problem.
CI does not seem to provide a convincing solution for reviews (in the text mainly mentioned as problem when not applying CI, and for CI only covered as an FAQ entry).

With everyone pushing their changes to main (even if tested...) before getting main to a releasable state there's the open items of reviews (every commit/push), fixes, re-review, ... That might work with developers writing flawless code or relaxed reviews, but for me it was painful in reality.

CI shifts the problem from having to solve merge issues before release to having to solve review issues before release. Releasing is impossible if merges fail, but reviews can be skipped. CI seems to promote reduced review quality.

A perfect solution would avoid all problems close to the release.

In addition to small/fast feature branches an automated temporary what-if branch with frequent merges can provide a preview to detect and solve issues early, while avoiding troubles in main. It seems to help with the main issue CI solves (avoiding conflicts detected late), without causing degraded review quality.

> It’s theoretically impossible to save space with vertical farming if the power is to come from a renewable resource.

The article talks about only solar panels, but the conventional meaning of your statement would be that it's not possible with any renewable energy. Of course you can use e.g. nuclear or geothermal and save space.
Careful with this. Sometimes we think the risk of keeping something in our mind is that we might forget that thing. The greater risk is that there are other things that we never put into our mind because of the thing we're already keeping in our mind.

You want to remember a list of Pokemon. You memorize the list of Pokemon. You think the risk is that you will forget the list of Pokemon, but with effort you remember the list of Pokemon, risk averted, nothing lost. Except, the real loss was that you never learned a list of MTG cards, because you were too busy holding onto that list of Pokemon, and also you forgot your wife's birthday. (Silly examples, but true principle.)

Part of the family of haha, hehe and hihi is höhö in German, which can be used as a sarcastic laugh to a particularly bad joke, halfway between a ho-ho-ho and a hehe.

Also when speaking out loud, the pronunciation of lol in German is always "lol", as a word. I believe in English-speaking countries the letter by letter l-o-l is more common.

Yes, I submitted the page because I thought it would give people a good laugh.

But there's also something we can learn from this page: Specifically, what is a bad attitude to have towards change? What are the kinds of changes we need to anticipate?

And even though it's okay to decide that we aren't going to support some new technology, how we deliver the message helps our credibility. (He claims to be a computer science.) If this guy was using a CMS, he probably wouldn't need to worry about supporting mobile browsers. I think if all he said was, "I like making my HTML by hand and I don't have time to rewrite it all," his tone wouldn't be as insulting.
Yeah, I'm going through my GitHub followers and posting something from each account that looks cool. Pay it forward, give back the love, etc etc! I realized they be doing cool things and I didn't pay enough attention. Put too much focus on what I was doing, and not enough on what the people who value me (in some form or fashion haha! :), online at least) were doing. Hahah! :)

So now it's time to change that and give back. I think it's a cool idea. I encourage you folks to do the same! :)
I have a single smart plug that I use to control a light that's inconvenient to reach, but frequently needed.

Siri has no trouble controlling that.

I often use Siri to play music, either from my library or from the free Apple Music radio selection. It rarely has trouble with that (provided the environment isn't noisy).

I use it regularly to add items to the grocery list when my hands are full or covered in raw chicken or something.

I don't think there's a lot Alexa can do that Siri can't, besides letting you spend money directly on Amazon products (if that's still a thing).

Would I pay a subscription to do these things if that were the only way to access them?

Honestly, I don't know. It's hugely convenient to be able to do it, and it's definitely become habit to do so in various ways. I would absolutely be pissed at Apple if they pulled a move like this.

I do anything from 10 minutes to months depending on the scope. Yes it’s painful to have longer lived branches but when you make a months long branch it’s because the pain of doing it any other way would be greater. Most often the longer lived branches are high cost/risk/reward experiments that may or may not turn out successful. E.g swapping out some component that can’t be done side by side easily (as an example from the real world would be moving from .NET framework to .NET core in a several hundred man-year code base). Most “short” branches I do is 24-48h so typically a half day to a full day of coding then about the same amount of time waiting for reviews and validations.

How do you know it’s correct for your need without actually reading and internalizing it? It might even be correct…but not compute what you thought it does.

Plugging code from SO into your program is like assuming that if your program compiles it must be correct.

Not really. Context is important, I think. So I’m talking about Latvia specifically. Just after regaining independence we had to rebuild any military capability from scratch. So a kind of a citizen paramilitary national guard was formed called “Zemessardze”. In the first few years it did everything. From securing the borders to guarding high level government officials.

Zemessardze has a youth wing for teenagers who are interested in military stuff called Jaunsardze. So that’s what I did because a friend of mine wanted to do it but didn’t want to go alone.

Looking back to it, there was completely no political indoctrination whatsoever. It was mostly physical conditioning, knowing your way around maps and terrain, basic wilderness survival skills, how to get over a stream without getting wet, a little bit of weapons training.
There's no automatic connection from immoral to illegal. I can think of lots of intentional deception that secures unfair gain that is not illegal.
Prefixing these utility scripts is a nice tip, I used to do that as well.

Some time ago I found sd [1] though. It's a light wrapper around your own scripts which provides namespaces, autocompletion, custom help texts + some other QoL enhancements around that. It improves discoverability and usability a lot, very happy with it.

The issue is that New York decided as a strategy to rely on tourism revenue - it has nothing to do with “millenials”. I remember working as an intern building models for the disney land of 42nd street. Yes the models were cheesy (go take a look) but I mean anyone here remember Times Square before? That was one serious cesspool and I say this as a confirmed fan of late 80s New York, you know the city that your mom and dad were afraid to visit? (Anyone here remember having beers on the stoop outside of Finneli’s on Prince? AfterHours Soho was awesome..)

No one is afraid anymore so the ‘filter’ that selected ‘confirmed urbanites’ was lifted. The city reflects its new demographics. The OP and myself and the rest of urbanite that got a ‘buzz’ just walking in the city now mostly decamp to Brooklyn.

Speaking of Brooklyn, I must register my public approval of gentrification of Williamsburg. I actually lived in Williamsburg when the only (only) sign of civilization was a bagel shop next to the L. But let’s take Domino Park. That’s not ugly, is it?

So, two items: Money, and Taste. Now we people of ‘taste’ were priced out of Manhattan. And now you have what you have.

One angle is missing in this article: the judge stated that the intention by the lawmaker was to criminalize any kind of hacking when they have introduced the law, so it doesn’t matter how strong the password was or how good it was protected.

Frustratingly, the judge is absolutely right. That was precisely the intention behind the law change back then. I just hope the law will be changed by the government, which (despite all their quarrels) is a much saner one than the one which changed that law.
I got accused of plagiarizing myself once, and I've never even figured out what that phrase means.
