Rushing in.

I actually don’t like that part of the design at all. It always feels kind of awkward, having to shake the box until the lower part drops onto my desk quite unceremoniously.

But I suppose it helps keep the box closed after removing the tamper-proof tags without any paper latches that other boxes have which rip off very easily and then make the box useless.
True. I recognize that my statement was a bit simplistic.

That said, in the context of what the OP was saying, unfortunately, this is a chicken-and-egg situation. For someone, like the OP, who would like to get paid to do OSS, they'd need to have a reasonably active OSS presence prior to being hired at places like Red Hat. Which is another aspect of my original point of contributing to FLOSS being the pursuit of the privileged.
Is this considered abnormal for Java ? I presume this was without GC pauses
Yeah, when I arrived in 1995, it was like arriving among the glowing embers. There were still nerdy bookstores, Disk Drive Depot, Weirdstuff Warehouse, surplus and electronics recycling centers where you could geek-browse for rare numerical display components (or unusual vacuum tubes)....

Slowly, over the 27 years or so living there I saw even those embers slowly die down and go out. (Fry's went from nerd superstore to just an also-ran normie superstore — and then it and Weirdstuff and many of the other places I mentioned closed down.)

I miss that old valley. I might also be missing my youth at the time, my optimism at the time....

Interpretations of QM and measurement have very little to do with whether space-time is discrete or continuous. The simple fact is that no common QM formulation uses discrete mathematics for space-time, and it's unclear if any that does would even work.

Also, your link is not a formulation of QM, it is a different theory which makes different predictions (it is a quantum gravity theory). And, per the sounds of the Wikipedia article at least, it is not actually proven equivalent to QM in the regimes where it needs to be ("There is evidence [1] that, at large scales, CDT approximates the familiar 4-dimensional spacetime", or in other words, it is not fully worked out if this is the case).
> Very few friendships are robust enough to survive one party costing the other $20,000.

That probably depends on how critical that $20k is to you. If it's your only $20k, then yeah it'd be much more impactful than if it's just one of many.
> 2nd amendment seems to already been over turned. Children cannot own for example fully automatic weapons.

Just as the founding fathers intended, children brandishing fully automatic firearms. James Madison is turning in his grave!
I did not read the article.

In my defence, I have read many similar posts over the years and as an Apple customer I very much like the minimalism.

It really did remind me, and I have the url stored in pinboard.
What's the difference between a twitter thread that requires more than one tweet, because of its length, and writing it in something that accepts the message as a whole?

Or hell, just a plugin that tweets a picture of the whole message?

I'm not suggesting that they hire an editor, do multiple passes, get a proofreader to give suggestions, etc...

This is actually what they said:

> Not to humblebrag or anything, but my favorite part of getting posted on hackernews or reddit is that EVERY SINGLE TIME there's one highly-ranked reply that's "jesus man, this could have been a blog post! why make 20 tweets when you can make one blog post?"

> CAUSE I CAN'T MAKE A BLOG POST, GOD DAMN IT. I have ADHD. I have bad ADHD that is being treated, and the treatment is NOT WORKING TERRIBLY WELL. I cannot focus on writing blog posts. it will not happen

> if I try to make a blog post, it'll end up being abandoned and unfinished, as I am unable to edit it into something readable and postable. so if I went 100% to blogs: You would get: no content I would get: lots of unfinished drafts and a feeling of being a useless waste

> but I can do rambly tweet threads. they don't require a lot of attention for a long time, they don't have the endless editing I get into with blog posts, I can do them. I do them a bunch! They're just rambly and twitter, which some people don't like

^^ that doesn't fit in a tweet. Yet their ADHD didn't prevent them writing it. Why is it a tweet?

In fact, the thread continues for several more statements. It's basically a blog post already, yet denying that they are able to write a blog post.

His X stream is most complaining about crime and the decline of San Fran. That doesn’t sound like a conservative- only argument to me. Odd that you took it that way just because he bashed a bunch of useless politicians in a dumb way.

I might be the only one here in favor of this, and wanting to see a federal rollout.

It is not reasonable to expect parents to spontaneously agree on a strategy for keeping kids off social media- and that kind of coordination is what it would take, because the kids + social media companies have more than enough time to coordinate workarounds. Have the law put the social media companies on the parents side, or these kids may never be given the chance to develop into healthy adults themselves.
I reported to Google that I could harvest firebase JWTs and keep them alive forever in a cloud function by refreshing the access tokens from a cloud function hosted on their own platform. The key issue in my eyes was there was no way to revoke the exfiltrated JWT.

They closed the ticket as:
1) You had to compromise the frontend
2) We bought firebase within 120 days, so we won't bug bounty it.

Completely ignoring that the authentication could not be rolled. That was the last time I tried to disclose or improve a google product.
I gave some talks about detecting the use of the same JWT across IP ranges, and using that as a litmus to revoke all user access until your application could contact the user.

Anyway, that was all to say my personal experience is that Google does not care about solving security issues and will actively suppress them until they reach some level of critical mass.
If someone offered me a free Thinkpad or macbook I'd take the Thinkpad. Standard PC architecture so I can boot anything, cheap, work well, trackpoint, repairable, parts available. Oh and lets not forget the hacker community behind them is amazing: https://www.xyte.ch/t700-crowdfunding/
Often when people talk about generative design what they mean is topology optimisation. CadQuery isn't the tool for that.

I've seen basic 2d topology optimisation in FreeCAD, but nothing approaching what some of the paid tooling can do.
interesting..!
Does someone has an idea for how the communication/fixing was done?

Was it radio waves of flipping bits? Or how does that work?
I'd much rather hear about a problem from a team member than hear about it from the alert system, or an angry customer.

plus when the big fuckup happens and the person causing it is there, there is an immediate root cause, and I can save cycles on diagnosis; straight into troubleshooting and remedy.
I think negative has a pretty clear definition in this context, if you want to say more about "externalities" maybe I can talk about it.
I can think of a few reasons. This doesn't prevent children from criticizing the government. The 1st amendment doesn't guarantee a platform. Children aren't legally the same as adults.

> The brand is beneficial to the medical system, which about managing disease for profit, rather than making people well.

This is a very American point of view, other places in the world do not have this issue but cancer is still a serious disease. Not every disease is an invention of the for-profit medical system of the USA.
They keep deleting stuff in the car.

I think Model S is still quite good because it retains more physical creature comforts like turn signal, circular wheel, instrument panel, and hand-adjustable AC vents (in the model y, you can only change vent angle on the touch screen).
I in general like to self host, but more importantly I don't want to be locked in.

I pay zoho £10 a year to host my email. I could do it via my ISP, I have a good one which doesn't have port blocks, offers as many IPs as I can imagine I need, and is shibboleet compatible, but even setting aside my own time and maintenance, I'd want two MX entries that were geographically resilient, so I'd need to rope in a friend or family member. For £10 a year it's not worth it.

However if zoho stops working, or bumps their price up, I can shift my domains to someone else with a change of MX/spf/etc records.

Only concern is that all 3 zoho entries are on the same AS (zoho), so that's a single point of failure. Not a major concern for personal email.
Overly complicated world-building requires mountains of expository prose to expose the complexity. No one wants that. They want characters and drama and entertainment. If you want world-building over a good story, read an RPG manual.
Pretty good. Pretty good. I would go to argue that online games do more harm than good to children and teenagers. In many ways banning them from playing them might steer them to more productive use of time.
My guess is that it will be most easily enforced in school. After school is another story entirely.
Thanks for sharing! Didn't know human voice can do this.
As Qt usually is.
Third party, perhaps. You sign up for service A. Service A queries service B, which knows who you are and provides a one-time ack of your age.
> there's various ways to try to mitigate it but the only way to completely avoid it would probably be to use SRAM

Why wouldn't storing a cryptographically-secure checksum on every RAM row work?
Will try to make one soon!
The article contradicts this point:

"There will be another, less contentious privacy issue with your Messages requests to Bard. These will be sent to the cloud for processing, used for training and maybe seen by humans—albeit anonymized. This data will be stored for 18-months, and will persist for a few days even if you disable the AI, albeit manual deletion is available."

High absolute performance (Xeon / Epyc scale), maybe.

High performance per watt, why not all three? Smaller transistors take less power to switch, so they likely can be run at a higher frequency without thermal issues. (Of course, a lot of other design considerations apply.)
They do not reduce motion sickness. But they for sure enhance the experience. It's simply incomparable to walk yourself vs using your thump to move. I can't fathom someone trying an omnidirectional treadmill and coming away with opinion they are on the same level of experience as using a stick.
I keep seeing "worldbuilding" like it's a new kind of hobby and Google Trends has the search query consistently growing over past two decades (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=worldbui...). Not sure what triggered it to became so popular in recent years.
This is really nice, but a feature that some applications implement that I wish was available in the library is some way of outputting curl command line reference which is equivalent of the requests being made. In-fact, I often find myself, MITM'ing myself using burp-suite and "copy as cURL command" feature for exactly this.
Are there any other html attributes that could hint to a screenreader what to read or ignore? I can think of more than a few examples when plaintext in a page really should be provided an 'alt' equivalent, if not outright ignored (eg., ascii art, binary strings, etc)
I have fallen back to Debian for after using Ubuntu for almost as long as it existed.

I can't tell exactly what pushed me over the edge, but the release cadence which I love so much about Ubuntu (easy to plan for) just wasn't enough to keep my there anymore.
Not our problem, we just need to write the feature request ;)

But yes, perhaps as a follow-up, we would need to ask for

1. a speed-up of the process or

2. find a way to look up and redistribute existing conversion flows
I think they were Michelin all seasons. Specifically to Teslas they also have a ton of camber on their Model X for handling and that makes the problem worse.

Things might have improved now because tire manufacturers now have dedicated EV tires, but there will be trade offs because they need crazy low rolling resistance and not be too noisy.
Faith does not mean superstition. I swear youtube atheism debates have confused many to knee jerk react to specific words.

Faith can operate on low levels such as: You arrange to meet with a friend at the park tomorrow.

You don't know for a fact that you will still be alive, or that your friend will, or that an accident won't befall either of you, etc. You operate on faith that your and their word will be made reality.

This is faith. It doesn't need to involve god, it doesn't have anything to do with superstition. You just take a belief and you act as if it will pan out.
I was a hick from Kansas when I showed up for my job at Apple back in 1995. So it was a local engineer that pointed out the blue cube to me, told me it was where all the secret satellite downlinks came in.
The whole problem is solvable with a single hashtable or a fixed set of memory. The solution use mmap over the input file. So no need for a GC run or a large heap. The solutions also mostly used graalvm and ahead of time compilation.
Given that we already have the concepts of exported entry points and extern in C, this should already be possible to a certain extent. The only other thing which needs to happen is that ELFs should have the concept of exported data structures, so while "URL" might not be a defined structure in the OS, something like curl can provide it.

Too bad we're stuck with UNIX/POSIX model - you could even take this idea of exported data structures and have the terminal represent data in the preferred users format instead of having tools like jq.
Agreed.

I'd believe Tolkien deliberately chose a "small" world precisely so that he could make things coherent and consistent to _some_ aspects of reality (some because it is, after all, a world with magic). It is apparent that Tolkien focused on the aspects he cared for and understood best - language and military stuff^1;

And because he quite literally wanted to described how the world started and how it got there, he had a few options: he could either make a small world, or hand-waive a lot, 99.99% of detail of a larger world, or just don't finish writing the equivalent of a 1-year period in his fiction's timeline during his lifetime, I guess?

Another thing - as the author points out, George Martin strives actively to make the world in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones 'larger'. He doesn't care that much about realistic coherence, though, and that is why he can copy-paste and mash historical elements.

1^ We all know about Tolkien and languages, but I, at least, was surprised by the 'coherence' in military stuff in Lord of the Rings (https://acoup.blog/2020/05/01/collections-the-battle-of-helm...)

You could come up with corner cases and odd delineations for those former examples too. Yet we all know the gist of the laws and manage to somehow, on the aggregate, prevent kids from engaging in said activity.

E.g. alcohol. How do we stop kids form drinking alcohol? How do you define alcohol? What about kids medicine that includes alcohol, what about medical procedures that insert substances with alcohol content. What about shops that get conned by kids with fake ID. What if the label gets scratched off and kid doesn't know it had alcohol. What if a parent gives their child a sip of beer. What about old home remedies that include whiskey. What about colic medicine that has alcohol, okay What about carving exceptions for babies, etc etc etc.

Granted some of those are contrived, but it's not as black and White as you think.
This is a bit off topic, but I think it's important to counter propaganda. It's not surveillance that makes one a Nazi. The Nazi playbook 101 starts with attacking all unfavorable media (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press), then you unite the fringe by pointing at defenseless minorities and convince your supporters said minorities stand between them and greatness. You relentlessly erode the judicial system so enough people start to believe the laws don't apply to all citizens equally and you call those people the overwhelming majority. And if you don't get what you want you call for violence. If you are honest with yourself you'll see who plays by those rules.
rust does this as well and it's because the community around both are snobs just for different reasons.
At this point I'm ready to tip someone extra simply for having a menu. So many places have tried to hold on to the COVID menu QR code nonsense, and I just refuse.
The 2nd amendment is very much alive and kicking. Those of us that would like to defend ourselves will fight for 2A.

To your point, children cannot own weapons. Most states are a minimum 18 years old for if not 21.

Full automatic weapons have been banned from civilian production for decades now. Semi automatic weapons are not weapons of war; are not the death machines non-gun owners think they are.

I was very anti gun until we (the wife and I) had a need to defend ourselves. We were literally put in a self defense position. We're both all in now and actively train ourselves and educate ourselves. More so, friends that are anti gun are no longer anti gun once they go to the range with me and are educated on what a semi automatic weapon actually is.

TL;DR - anyone anti gun is simple uneducated in the matter.
I remember my first Apple product. I was happy to give them all of my personal information.

Psychology is insane. And I'm still offended that the packaging/initial presentation was 10x better than the actual phone. The actual phone(2018) felt like I went into a time machine 5 years prior, less features, buggy, slow. Within 1-2 weeks I felt cheated.

I wonder how many people can wake up from the illusion.
You ever see those ASMR videos where one thing perfectly fits in to another? Some people don't care about that at all but some find it calming and reassuring.

That's what an Apple box feels like when you remove the lid. It fits so perfectly a natural vacuum seal will hold it together.
He's pedantically correcting the poster who said "NASA were able to land humans on the moon 55 years ago". The first moon landing was July 20, 1969, so 54 years and 193 days ago.
>children are having their youth, innocence and brains destroyed by tiktok

For one, ease up on the hyperbole if you want to be taken seriously. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because the news is nothing but hyperbole these days, so it's easy to pick up the habit. Second, most kids aren't having "their youth, innocence and brains destroyed." The news takes the edge cases, amplifies them and presents it as the norm to peddle fear because fear sells. Nothing ever is bad as the news makes it out to be, but they gotta make a dollar, you see how bad the news business is since the internet?

FWIW, my kid uses social media and just connects with her friends. Nothing overly malicious goes on, they just goof off. I've checked.

You really wanna protect the kids from anxiety and whatnot, block the news and all the talking heads trying to manipulate the next generation to their political opinions.
We are talking about very different things here.

There is a massive difference between exploits, gag orders, etc and normal day to day operations like what Google and Facebook are doing here.

I am not saying apple is saints, in my first line I very clearly said "companies" which includes Apple. But let's not pretend that Google and Facebook have not made Privacy invasion part of their business model and removed the ability for me to consent to my data being consumed by them regardless of how much effort I make to remove both from my life.
Dungeon Crawler Carl books do a pretty great job.
> Otherwise events like the MCAS disaster would be just an "happy accident" with no one to blame.

...it's the same aviation industry with the same approach to investigations outlined in the article that did, in fact, expose everything that you know about the 737 MAX's MCAS issues and led to their ultimate mitigation.
(Putting aside if the law is good or bad and the constitutionality of it.)

Put criminal penalties to the directors if no reasonable attempt to keep kids out.

Plus corporate death penalty if they purposely target kids.

Then how they enforce it doesn't really matter as long as there are periodic investigations. The personal risks are too great and the companies will figure it out.
