Apparently people still buy them, because they are cheap. It's the same with printers - the initial purchase price is low, then the consumables are expensive.

People really need to include the running costs into their calculations. The best deals aren't usually the cheapest machines.

Reading the blog post it sounds like users will get a credit toward a free shirt/stickers. They will still need to pay shipping, which should be enough to keep people from getting it just for the hell of it. After a period of time, if there are unclaimed shirts they will open them up to those users beyond the first 20k.

While it sounds like they will print 20k no matter what, it doesn’t seem like they will randomly ship them out to users. They really can’t, as they don’t have the addresses of all their users.
On-call schedules ensure that there’s someone available day and night to fix or escalate any issues that arise. Using an on-call schedule helps keep things running smoothly.

Not smaller companies. No companies. Individual people. That's a little different than "smaller".

As for returns and such, that's what the explicitly trusted third party is for: Jimbob. He can meditate disputes because both parties trust him in that domain (or they trust someone who...) Maybe that limits the scope somewhat, but global scale is overrated. Transitive trust ought to get you plenty far.

As for encryption, Jimbob need not know either address to fulfill his role. Encryption is for hiding such things from him (and from the operator of any nodes that are needed to for the protocol to function).

As for not having a design ready for every one of your examples. You've got me there. My point is merely that the space of solutions to these problems which do not require implicit trust of somebody's IT department is larger than you presume, and largely unexplored.
Exposure therapy can help squashing irrational fears, which is what I would suggest in the case of small creatures triggering a fear response.

If you wanted to minimize recidivism you’d have a life sentence for every crime.
I really enjoyed this, well done. I love that there were surprises like the LOST finale not being as bad as you thought (statistically).

Some obligatory personal hot takes:

- the Scrubs finale should be considered the last episode of season 8 (which was great). Season 9 should be considered a spinoff series.

- The Blacklist recently aired the series finale and I would consider it a disaster finale. It has ruined the series for me, and I no longer recommend it to friends.

- I think most comedies aren’t ruined by a series finale. That’s probably due to the character over plot idea, as there usually isn’t a storyline I’m dying to finish.
I just went through the product’s FCC certification photos which gives you nice pictures of the product internals.

AFAICT, there were no readily obvious DP sensors to be found.
Passive radar is ITAR-controlled. Terrestrial (non-airborne) active radar is not controlled, in many cases.
The approach you're describing is pretty much how frameworks like React work. I think there are two main reasons why the more lightweight options don't go for this:

1. In the React space, you have to write two conversion steps: first you have to convert your app's data to some wire format (JSON objects or something) on the server, then you have to convert the wire format into HTML on the client ("render" the UI). This is more complex than a single step where you just convert the app's data to HTML on the server.

2. For best performance, the server needs to be able to generate HTML and send it to the client on the initial page load. (React calls this "server-side rendering"; its approach to it doesn't really work for lightweight frameworks because it requires you run JavaScript on the server.) Once you have that capability, you might as well use it as much as possible, rather than implementing a separate code path just for JavaScript.
It's pretty well established now that The Sopranos finale HAD closure. It's just that only the real fans figured it out.
Its getting more useful over time. There are good fiat backed stablecoins + ethereum and its peers are all proof-of-stake so no ridiculous electricity usage. But the risk premium of using it(falling prey to scams, hacks, etc) makes no sense in countries with stable financial regimes.
I suffered through that kind of situation for much longer than I care to admit. I am now behind the curve in terms of skills development because of how stagnant the situation was.

Better yet, who is liable if I went 20mph over when car failed to recognise speed correctly?

I’m all in for digital roads, esp if they can shift liability from me. But right now traffic sign recognition is only like 95% working.
I transported my friend to the hospital when they had stroke symptoms. They got checked by a local medic (it was in a small national monument) who told me to drive to the nearest hospital, about 50 miles away, "fast, but not dangerously, unless the symptoms get worse, then drive REALLY fast."

We definitely were more than 10 over, relatively safely. Luckily the symptoms did not get worse.

But if my speed had been governed, I'd have made it my mission to destroy the careers of the politicians who passed that horseshit.

Sometimes the best, safest thing to do is to speed. We need that capability.

Normally I drive the speed limit, much to the dismay of those around me.
Interesting take, I'll watch the video later.

One important note is that there's a big difference between our culture and historical Chinese culture - and basically all powerful cultures that have existed before now. That is, the flexibility and rapid change of the system itself. It's not just upward mobility of people, it's upward mobility of companies and rapid systemic change, driven by technology and cultural shifts. Think about the difference between our society, and the 80s, the 50s, the 30s. There's never been a period like this before, so making comparisons to previous cultures is of limited utility and that needs to be noted when making the comparisons.

We might think of Google as a never-ending behemoth with incredible power because in our recent lifetimes it's been that way. But the reality is that the company has only existed for ~26 years and if it truly slips up it could be a shadow of itself in another five years. Something else would jump into the power vacuum and our society would barely blink, except for a million articles with titles like "What happened to Google?" being written.

Fusion is well on the way, you just don't hear about it as much because the whole point of fusion isn't to make money, it's to permanently end the energy "crisis", which will end energy demand, which will have nearly unfathomable ripple effects on the global economy.

String theory is waste of time and has been for awhile now. The best and brightest couldn't make it map onto reality in any way, and now the next generation of best and brightest are working either on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley.

The robots are also coming sooner than we think. They won't be like Rosey from the Jetsons, but they'll get there.

AGI may or may not happen soon, it's too early to tell. True AGI is probably 100 years away or more. Lt. Cmdr. Data isn't coming any time soon. A half-ass approximation that "appears" mostly human in it's reasoning and interaction is probably 3-10 years off.

Or maybe stop having miles long trains (which current crossings and side-rails weren’t really designed for anyway), or stop having only two people operate miles long trains, or… lots of other possible solutions.
What is “good” is determined by the options available, not by all theoretically possible options. The average person in say, Argentina, isn’t going to have access to complex financial instruments and so is functionally choosing between a hyperinflating local currency and a volatile-but-still-going-up bitcoin. This is a real world use case and it’s echoed in countless places around the world - most of which, I imagine, the most strident crypto critics haven’t ever been to.
Anyone know an IT equivalent of a high quality industry specific news source?

Currently tech news comes from Engadget and world news from bbc, but there have to be better sources.
Cleanliness requirement is a function of feature size. For a process that has 5 µm features (that is roughly 250 times larger than current fabs) its pretty manageable. That is further improved if you use the 'cannister' technique where the "wafer" is in a sealed canister that is opened when inserted into the machine and closes automatically when pulled out.

I am envisioning a handle which ends in stainless steel holding mechanism that has the feature that when you slide it into a 'production' slot the holding mechanism pushes back to reveal the sample's surface. Think window on a floppy disk only better at keeping dust out.

6mm is pretty small (about 1/4" to be precise) in diameter. Call it 25 mm^2 of area, you're looking at, maybe, 10K "device elements" you could lay down (I'm guessing you lose a bunch of space to 3 - 8 "pads")

Your "fab" is a machine that sits on a desk, it has tanks that hold 'consumables' that are used in the process and a tank that fills with waste output. Both the empty consumables tanks and the full waste tank are shipped off to be disposed of properly.

On working side of the fab there are ports that are of the same shape as the end of your sample holder. They positively lock so you push the sample holder into the port until it "clicks" and then the machine does an evacuation cycle, followed by that step of the process.

Building a device would consist of loading your design in, then using the various ports (sometimes more than once) for different steps (add resist/render layer mask) (cure resist/rinse uncured resist off) (etch) (dope-p), (dope-n), (metal), (poly), (package).

The 'package' would always be the same shape. Think a metal can transistor from the 80's. With 8 leads and a pin 1 tab. What leads were connected would be defined by what you had programmed for your device.

You do all the steps (it would probably take anywhere from 1 to 3 days depending on the process steps you used). And the result is this part you made. Plug it into your characterization harness and verify it's function and/or signal parameters. If it fails you toss it and do another one, if it passes you have your bespoke device to use in your project.

I certainly don't see something like that having mass market appeal but I know you could sell them.
Talk to a fertility specialist sometime. You'll discover many new things that you hadnt heard of yet.

It was a great example for me of mass ignorance. Tons of stuff, including this, are very well established, but since we live is such an individualized society where interactions with kids and parents are no longer something that happens at all ages continuously throughout life, and your similarly aged friends for the same reason neither, could it happen that such facts simply never pop up until somebody runs into them.

In 30 years, you'll not believe established science about aging.
> There’s a very short and very brutal poem by the Scottish poet Hollie McNish, written in 2019 and titled “Conversation with an archaeologist”:

> he said they’d found a brothel
on the dig he did last night
I asked him how they know
he sighed:
a pit of babies’ bones
a pit of newborn babies’ bones was how to spot a brothel

> “It’s true, you know,” said the writer and lawyer Helen Dale when we had lunch in London last year and I mentioned this poem, which I chose as one of the epigraphs to my book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution. Helen was a classicist before she was a lawyer, and as a younger woman she had taken part in archaeological excavations of ancient Roman sites. “First you find the erotic statuary,” she went on, “and then you dig a bit more and you find the male infant skeletons.” Male, of course, because the males were of no use to the keepers of Roman brothels, whereas the female infants born to prostituted women were raised into prostitution themselves.
I’ve written reams of JS over the years–web frontends with a dozen frameworks, Node backends, mobile apps, you name it. It’d probably make sense for me to use it more often on the backend, but the trouble I run into when committing to it for a new project is that… I just don’t like it.

I know how to avoid all of the “wat” stuff that people typically trot out to criticize the language. I can write a quality piece of production software with it. At the end of the day, though, I still just have this feeling like I’m cooking in someone else’s odd and disorganized kitchen with not quite all of the right tools and ingredients.
If they are talking about the power plant I’d assume it’s also characteristic things like response times and control/configuration data. That’s what ultimately identifies a reactor to pick the apart from others.

E.g. if you exactly know reactor XY was assigned to Z submarine, and you see it in the boneyard, you could assume Z was decommissioned. And if you are e.g. China you could estimate how many submarines are deployed in your vicinity.
> Yes, you have; you're just misidentifying the product. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. do not make products for you and I, their users. We're just a side effect. Their actual products are advertising access to your eyeballs, and big data. Those products are highly optimized to serve their actual customers--which aren't you and I. The profit motive is working just fine. It's just that you and I aren't the customers; we're third parties who get hit by the negative externalities.

Yeap... you get it, the guy above you doesn't.

George Carlin said it best, "It's a big club... AND YOU AIN'T IN IT!"
The problem with this approach is that in the mean time the people will have to adopt crutches like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder and by the time Java adds missing features all the codebases will be forever polluted with legacy workarounds that nobody will dare to remove because of backwards compatibility.

It also hinders adoption of new features as people will prefer to maintain consistency in their codebases.

pretty limiting. will keep my eye on this.
I would not characterize it as phobia, so much as I find them disgusting for some reason, dirty and unclean.
In the legal view too. (At least in the US.)
Interoperability would be the ability to use either IPv4 or IPv6 and talk to each other seamlessly. This is clearly not the case for IPv4 clients talking to IPv6 servers. This is clearly not the case for IPv6 servers accepting IPv4 connections.

As for TUBA, the transition plan incorporated tunneling, with a bit more thought put into this we could've had something similar to AutoIPv6. That document was just a starting point and outlined some important aspects of the criteria such as low administrative overhead for transitioning IPv4 networks to IPng, something which IPv6 falls completely flat on.
I seem to remember hearing that Brother has also decided to start with the DRM. Or maybe that was color only, seeing as you specified B&W??
In Europe actual tax is like $7 per gallon and gas price, over $10 per gallon with people making about 1.5x less after tax. Fuel needs to be very pricey to discourage consumption and help move to renewables faster.
Maybe that’s by design. If someone sees “Kagi” on the shirt they may look it up, not get it, and move on. If instead the dog acts as an ice breaker, “cute dog,” then the person wearing it can mention what it is, but more importantly, why they like and use it.

I’d also be much more likely to wear a shirt without a URL on it. I’ve been gifted shirts with URLs before, I have never and will never wear them in public.
The isomorphic interpreter that I was talking about, and as shown in the cloudflare blog, does not generate new machine code. All it does is jump around in the statically verified safe Rust code. So it is extremely robust. Even if there are logic bugs in it, they will not manifest as UB.
Jumping spiders trigger significantly less of that response than other types of spiders. Are you sure you know what a jumping spider looks like?

Why did you decrease the number by an order of magnitude for your example?

And when it comes to "lifetime" for something that's not undergoing significant wear and tear, what do you think is a reasonable number of years? Because my general response is something like 30.
On the waitlist, looking forward to it!
Sounds like he's taking next year "off", though, to write a book.
Am I missing something? Russia can barely defeat Ukraine and put up enormous losses doing it? Can't imagine a world war type situation could play out with Russia as the main adversary?

Either he's exaggerating Russia's military strength, or he's talking about other potential enemies?
No, but creating these reagents is a lot of work.

Principally create new flowcells coated with an oligo lawn would be difficult. Not impossible… but a non-trivial project…

10-20 years ago it was always the same (before Amit Singhal was kicked out): precision +X% / recall +X% for Google search
Yesterday, Tuesday 23 January:

- a Swiss Air Bombardier C-Series "crew declared emergency reporting steam in the cockpit" [1]

- a LATAM 767 "needed to shut one of the engines" [2]

- a Lufthansa A320 "decided to divert to Amsterdam reporting a smokey smell in the cabin" [3]

- an American 737-800 "initiated a go around advising their flaps did not fully extend" [4]

Within that scope, the Delta 757's "nose wheels separat[ing] and roll[ing] away," an incident which caused "a delay of about 5:15 hours," is amusing but unremarkable [5]. (In contrast, today, Wednesday 24 January (EDIT: 2 January), a Japan Airlines A350 "collided with Coast Guard DH8C on runway and burst into flames" [6]. No souls lost.)

Every day, these issues come up [7]. (Do not click if you're a nervous flier.) Something is wrong with the 737 Max 9, possibly the entire Max series. Modern aviation is safe not because we never have malfunctions, but because we prepare for and learn from them. If you filter for Boeing-specific news, you may not appreciate how much noise is in what you see as signal.

JRE 2091 – Diana Walsh Pasulka
That particular distinction doesn't really matter: If I drop my wallet in the street and someone finds it and takes all my cash, that's theft regardless of whether it landed on the public road or a short distance away on a private driveway. (Also, I don't think anyone would consider it "finders keepers" if the thief started using the credit-cards!)

So it's theft either way, but the private-ness of the zone may mean additional crimes are getting committed, such as trespassing and/or burglary. (Or worse variations of the same crime, depending on how the laws are written.)
I remember playing Skyrim in 720p on my 2012 MacBook Air through wine..
There are two schools of thought. 1. Follow the money. 2. Follow your passion.

It's hard to know which is right (and I suspect both are), because my passion and the money are in the same place (tech).

Which means folk in tech (myself included) can successfully anecdote either branch.

Personally I probably land on the passion side, but I you're passionate about archaeology, well, good luck to you.

To the original question I say - be curious about everything. Try and learn from those around you. Try and add value outside of just support. Expand your support skills outside your specific job. Learn about the OS, or SQL, or coding.

You don't need to map out your niche just yet. Take some time to be a generalist with a wide experience. From there you'll likely find yourself gravitating to a field.
Yes GPS is behind times here. Galileo can do 1cm accuracy tho.
A lot of things, from limited keybinding support due to terminal limits, unergonomic extension language, very poor default setup, lacking good GUI, poor multicursor support, lack of core Zed's feature - collaboration
Well, records are immutable so assignment must go to newly constructed instance, meanwhile new instance does not exist yet so any read must be from old instance.

Seems very intuitive to me (and same as C#).
I have been working on a hobby project in Tauri and I am incredibly intrigued by GPUI.

- I already keep all my state and logic in Rust
- GPUI would allow me to skip Tauri commands and listeners and instead just implement the renderers directly on the already existing structs.
- The renderer is inspired by Tailwind, which would make the transition for me super easy as I already use it on the Tauri browser part.
- The performance and latency has got to be better than going through a webview. If the Zed editor is any indication, it’s about as good as it can be

That said I obviously haven’t started converting my app yet. Documentation is very sparse and I don’t feel like wading through source code to figure out how to accomplish anything…
API wise, it looks very similar to the OpenAI python SDK but not quite the same. I was hoping I could swap out one client for another. Can anyone confirm they’re intentionally using an incompatible interface?
The lib’dems in Europe are anything but liberal or democratic.

Liberal means less intervention from the state, it has literally changed its meaning to soft-socialism.

Democratic is not when you’re elected as part of Boris Johnson on a program to leave the EU, and 16% of elected MPs left his party after the vote and rejoined the Libdems (withouth giving a choice to electors, nor resigning as MP) to fight to stay in EU, coining the phrase “What voters really meant was stay in the EU with conditions.”

I focussed on England, but lib’dems in every EU country have the same betrayal.
For reference, that "some guy" is Andy Pavlo, a professor of databases at Carnegie Mellon. He has a lot of neat writeups online, like this annual review of new database systems [0]. He puts up lectures on the internet for free too.

Having been to Dr. Pavlo's office - or at least, one of them - I can attest to there being multiple cardboard boxes filled with gifted shirts from different companies. One of my favorite designs was actually from CMU's DB group itself - it has a little "this database kills fascists" tag on it, with a skull motif :D
