Modern 10 year olds are only useless due to culture and laws. Technically they’re rather capable already, both physically and mentally.

If you wonder why so many kids, it’s mostly due to their mortality. Infant mortality rate plummeted by more than 2 orders of magnitude since 1950: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/JPN/japan/infant-morta... I’m not sure they should solve depopulation by re-introducing high mortality.
I mean the quoted description that could imply it only works with (non-chat) completion APIs is wrong, or at least confusing
> horrible UI-wise

It is, but think of why you'd build this. You own the backend and need to add 2FA support. The various client software isn't written by you so you can't change them. This approach allows the client software to add an OTP field (concat the fields for the user) but doesn't require it (user must concat OTP on password manually).

Many of the places I've seen this used don't integrate well with software password managers. OS login screen, console apps, etc; typically not web apps. But this is a good criticism.
FinDom is when you know what you are getting into it and do it anyways.

If you hire someone to dominate you, because you enjoy it, that is between you and them.

If someone comes into your life, mirrors you, pretends to be into everything you are into, gathers personal info pretending to be someone they are not, then turns it around and begins abusing you.

That is covert malignant narcissim.
ZFS using mirrors is extremely easy to expand. Need more space and you have small drives? Replace the drives in a mirror one by one with bigger ones. Need more space and already have huge drives? Just add another vdev mirror. And the added benefit of not living in fear of drive failure while resilvering as it is much faster with mirrors than raidX.

Sure the density isn't great as you're essentially running at 50% or raw storage but - touches wood - my home zpool has been running strong for about a decade doing the above from 6x 6tb drives (3x 6tb mirrors) to 16x 10-20tb drives (8x mirrors, differing sized drives but matched per mirror like a 10tb x2 mirror, a 16tb x2 mirror etc).

Edit: Just realised someone else as already mentioned a pool or mirrors. Consider this another +1.

Is this a big problem? Construction, sure, messy, but once it’s up it’s not really a big deal? Or is there something I am missing? It’s not like they put in a divided highway with animal-killing traffic. The vast majority of the time, it’s just going to be a long, linear clearing. Nobody there, minimal noise.
I totally agree with this. It doesn't make any sense to honor someone without knowing who that person is or to know people are in mourning without knowing what they are mourning about. Usually, you can tell who it is because the story is trending on here. In this case, the black bar was put up a bit late, and the story isn't on the front page anymore.
> This works much better than say Go, because Haskell is immutable.

The immutability has nothing to do with async. Async is for IO threads. If you want pure parallelism you use `par`. But Haskell IO threads (forkIO and friends) are also green when run with GHC.
California is the largest ag producer in this country by far. I do wonder to what degree solar panels on fields could even help this stat by creating more varied environments that different crops could flourish in. That's not even touching on the reduced water consumption that partial shade from solar panels could bring about. Even if water consumption remained the same and the extra water was diverted to other types of crops it could improve overall output from the state.
No, see, this touched people on the wrong island!!!

So, when your new software system identifies fraud where none was seen before the onus is really on you to check, recheck and triple-check your results before you start ruining people's lives. Those working on the present crop of AI classifiers should take note because those too can, will and probably already are being used to figure out who to target for surveillance, perform facial matching and will likely be embedded in AI based legal software. We're not that far from 'computer says guilty' and even if it isn't the computer that says so directly all it needs to do is give the wrong kind of person enough cover that they believe they are doing the right thing.

Something very similar happened in the Netherlands with the tax office and I suspect that if and when the IND here gets turned inside out we'll find a lot more of this sort of stuff.
That's not how it works. A car's drag coefficient is calculated in a wind tunnel, and takes into account the entire body shape.

The frontal area can also be very deceiving, a new VW ID Buzz for example has a CD of 0.285 despite a massive front.
One of the genius medical marketing tactics was to create disposable condoms for thermometers, ear probes, etc., so that you can use one up for each patient and then purchase a whole big box of them on a subscription basis, rather than going through a simple bottle of sanitizer that could clean anything and everything that needs it. (And then of course, nobody cleans the probe underneath, as it just gets slightly grodier with each use.)
Did you figure out what the green graph on the right of the display represents? :)
Exactly. To me that's the first real move on the board to the industrial revolution. Up to there it was a possibility, from there on it was a certainty.
This type of remark is embarrassing. If it’s meant to inspire employees it’s tone deaf, and if it’s meant to soothe shareholders it’s too little too late.

The main issue with async/sync differentiation in all languages is that all languages have a blessed category / monad in which they execute, and the async support (or whatever other execution schemes) are 'bolted on'. Haskell makes this clear in its type system, and while the monadic functions are much more generalizable than async/await (which seems to be the one monad every other language wants to implement for some reason), they're also not 'complete'... there are functions in the prelude with obvious monadic equivalents that are not part of the prelude. Nevertheless, even if they were, you cannot interchange them with the blessed 'pure' monad (equivalent to the Identity newtype), which is the Kleisli monad of the Hask category.

There has been work to enable generic compilation of all Haskell code to arbitrary categories (see Conal Elliot's compiling with categories) but unfortunately the approach has not caught on.

It would actually be an interesting design space to support arbitrary categories as a basic design principle of a novel programming language. Obviously at some level something would need to be the 'special' one that can be compiled to machine code, but if the complexity could be hidden / abstracted that would indeed be interesting.
The problem with electronics in water is that water is an electrical conductor.

So the circuit diagram for the board becomes "everything connected to everything else all at once". Which means, at best it doesn't turn on. At worst it creates a short and current flows from one point to another, usually blowing up some part.

Electronics and water therefore are seldom friends.

Sorry to hear about your personal issues, but this statement "100% wfh just punishes anyone who doesn't have kids." is you projecting.

I work at a 100% remote company, and most of us are married (no kids) or single. We, or at least my specific r&d team have social lives outside of work and live in urban areas. Some of us even do a weekend dnd session online.

Hybrid mostly doesn't work from an economic pov. If the company employees can do their work 2-3 days from home, it's likely they could do their entire job from home, and a company just can't afford to spend money on expensive commercial real estate if it can avoid it.
I guess I'm just confused that it's labeled async (and does async work) but is actually blocking when invoked (or at least doesn't return until await finishes).

If I'm awaiting on two different results, I have to invoke them in parallel somehow, right? What is that mechanism and why doesn't that already provide asynchrony? Like, if the method was sync, couldn't I still run it async somehow?
Ah, it's not just me that does this. I also start taking notes from the beginning now, otherwise when I go back to write it up for others I sometimes can't even replicate the starting conditions.
Seems like the main negative utility it created is people like you deciding it’s more important than the concept of comparing potential outcomes for how good they are.

> The time saved … is not worth the additional risk

The time saved is most definitely required for certain airports to maintain their current traffic levels. So we would need a study to understand if the economic impact of the reduced traffic from eliminating line up and wait is worth the expected reduction in accidents.

Looks like 5% in the 50s. High by modern standards, but not enough to imply a "we need to have 4 so at least one survives" scenario.

And I'd say they're "unused" not "useless". The question would be for instance on a subsidence farm, how much more crops can the work of a 10 year old create, vs how much resources they consume. My guess is that they're still a net cost.
Because with great power should come great responsibility, yet for some reason we allow giant companies who literally study your behaviors to exploit them to get away with charging you for services you didn't use, when it's trivially easy for them to know when you didn't use them.

It would seem a bit much to require that they jump from 'have a wafer' to 'volume production' overnight. But the fact that they can use electron beam deposition to fabricate indicates one very important thing (to me, at least): the same kind of technologies that can work on Silicon wafers appear to be viable for these Graphene based ones. And that would allow recycling a whole pile of tech, possibly speedrunning through the last bunch of feature sizes because of all of the experience gained with Silicon. To me it says Graphene will now work in the next five to ten years or it will likely never happen. It would need to outperform Silicon on at least one metric (density, power consumption, speed) to make it worth it for niche applications and then bit by bit economies of scale would take over.

Semi-related (and hopefully if a link is added to the border, this could be implemented as well): some of us hate light mode so much that we set our browsers to force dark mode everywhere.

I hesitate. I do see your point, but I find it maybe short sighted: see, pleasing other is self-serving, the more you please them the more they adapt to you. There is an advantage in making others enjoy your existence more, and if we're going to actually help, embracing what societies are, machines crushing difference for a reductive common compromise, teaching autists to pretend to play the game is going to work better than teaching current winners that they should lose a bit to help autists feel better.

I suppose our disagreement might be in how feasible each is: it is easy, maybe lazy, to try to make autists adapt to the rest of us and probably impossible, at best extremely expensive, to make the rest of us more atuned to their needs. Not that we dont want to, but we're all thermodynamics machines trying to save energy: we may never really massively expense some to their benefit, sadly, especially if they dont learn to go our ways, sometimes.

Excuse me, sir, are you calling into question this anonymously sourced allegation? Seriously? It was sourced from the prestigious lfpress.com. The 1400th most-visited site in Canada!

Journalists make great sacrifices to bring us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Instead of thinking unhelpful thoughts like "people lie all the time, why should I trust some two-bit reporter from a newspaper that nobody has ever heard of?", why not take off the tin-foil hat and join the rest of us in assuming that all people--especially those anonymous few who are completely shielded from the consequences of lying--are telling the truth at all times.

Like, when is the last time that a journalist misled anyone? It's just not in their nature.
I love how they emphasize only few were exposed. Like just a few, only our senior staff and cybersecurity team... I mean -- they aren't lying, but... Wow

In air, I don't know.

In water, thr cooling factor goes way up. Liquids are much better at absorbing heat than gasses are.

Allowing for the fact that you can cool down the water, and circulate it, means you can overclock the device a lot, without heat becoming a factor.

I don't know thd specifics of the coating, but its -unlikely- that it would change the thermal properties to any degree, and any difference would be dwarfed by the benefit of immersing in a liquid.
I would suggest something like [LunchMoney](https://lunchmoney.app/) instead. Built in budgeting, rules to classify payments, and recurring subscriptions are automatically found and called out.

Do you have a family, with 2-3 adult users of credit cards?

We have pages and pages of charges each month, between groceries, camps, classes, school fees, school projects, birthday gifts, and now and then a teen grabbing coffee with friends.

I usually looks the bill quickly and see if there are any large purchases unexplained for, and of course credit card descriptions are very opaque sometimes. Noticing that month to month we had a Peacock subscription that someone signed up for as a promo, and never watched again, means I need to notice the one charge on page 3 AND poll all the family that yes no one watches.
I get that it costs a lot.

My point is that NOT hosting it yourself (as a government) costs WAY more in the long run. See my points above.

The same goes for companies in Europe who literally host their trade-secrets (designs, sales, the entire company) on US-servers (OneDrive, Google Drive, etc). The US is the home of their competitors. Who cares about infrastructure costs if you're PAYING to give your trade secrets away to your competitor(s)?!

One can't overstate how much I loved those stories, as a child of the 80s. I loved the inventive spirit, the bonds of friendship between the club, and the evergreen YA theme of putting one over on the grownups. Thirty years ago I scored the New Adventures hardback from a school library sale when I was just the right age to appreciate them. I plowed through that one and then moved heaven and Earth to find the first book. An age later (which must have only been five or six years, but you know how times moves when you're a kid) I read The Big Kerplop! and was rather sad, because it felt like I'd reached the end of the content. I was overjoyed to learn that the final book was finally being issued in 2005- it now sits on my shelf, patiently waiting. I plan to read it just before I shuffle off this mortal coil, whenever that may be, so I can spend the rest of my life anticipating it.
