I was in the market last year and chose against the SuperDrive. From what I was reading it seemed like they were basically selling old stock from years ago and there were a lot of issues and poor reviews as a result. It’s obviously not a product Apple cares about anymore.

I ended up going with an LG drive, which worked on the Mac without issue and should also work with other operating systems.
I think running the biggest video platform on the planet entirely for free is not realistic. Why are you so against Google charging a minimum fee for doing that while still giving you the opportunity to watch for free in exchange for being shown a few ads?

The name has nothing to do with where we believe the attacker came from. We borrowed it from Google. At Google they have a procedure where, in an emergency, they can declare a Code Yellow or Code Red — depending on the severity. When it happens, it becomes the top engineering priority and whoever is leading it can pull any engineer off to work on the emergency. Those may not be the exact details of Google's system but it's the gist that we ran with. We'd had an outage of some of our services earlier in the Fall that prompted us to first borrow Google's idea. Since our logo is orange, we created "Code Orange" to mitigate the mistakes we'd made that led to that outage. Then this happened and we realized we needed something that was a higher level of emergency than Code Orange, so we created Code Red. At some point we'll write up how we thought of the rules and exit criteria around these, but I think they'll become a part of how we deal with emergencies that come up going forward.

I just want to implore this community, in the wake of mass layoffs and downward salary pressure due to decisions well beyond our control, that you strongly consider not documenting your weird little hack or whatever thing you did off the clock to keep the system running that your boss doesnt even pretend to care about and that should be documented for the next guy to come along.

I don’t advocate this lightly. I believe in strong documentation and leaving an environment better than the state in which you found it. However, since we are clearly seen by this current market as replaceable, interchangeable parts - show them you’re not. If you get fired or laid off - open the door for consulting the same company a few years down the road.

Also worth mentioning SICL is very modular, and components of it are used in other Common Lisp implementations. If memory serves me right, Clasp uses SICL's Loop module to implement the LOOP macro, and this has allowed both Clasp and SICL devs to uncover lots of codebases with non-conformant usages of LOOP. (One common violation is e.g. WITH-clause after FOR-clause, and the SICL module decides to strictly follow the CL specification and error here).
Another one with a same pet peeve here.

It's especially "interesting", when the slider allows to navigate to the exact frame you want (that happens very rarely) and the information you want to see is in the subtitles burned into the video - the ones not shifting with UI controls.

I've been experimenting a lot with polyphasic sleep over the years.

I find it strange to think in terms of implementing a parser for lists as producing some kind of AST.

The reader does not return an AST, but is a Lisp procedure which returns nested lists of atoms. As such it is independent of code and it just reads s-expression data. The input to EVAL or COMPILE then is also not an AST, but an s-expression representation. Thus the first thing one would do is to think about a data representation for s-expressions.

READ then needs to turn s-expressions into that data representation. READ then also does not work over a string, but a text stream.

People implement then a Clojure-like language, but miss the implementation implications that the input to EVAL is actually a basic Lisp data structure and they miss the nature of READ producing such a Lisp data structure from basic stream operations like READ-CHAR... Also in many cases it is useful to make the reader table-driven and not hard-wired.

Thus a typical question is to think how much of Lisp do I have to implement in that other language and how much Lisp then can be then implemented in Lisp.

So, one of the really basic ideas of Lisp is that READ is defined to take input from a stream (keyboard, file, ...) and returns basic Lisp data. It is a general tool for de-serialization of Lisp data, not a special tool for reading Lisp code.

READ is not converting a STRING to an AST.
American Gridiron football, though Rugby League and Rugby Union (two other forms of football) use similar length fields/pitches. An Association Football pitch is almost always longer than a Gridiron field, depending on how you measure (it is typical to exclude the end-zones when measuring a Gridiron field, and while Rugby and Gridiron football have a playable area behind the goal (or try) line, Association Football does not.

As a side-note Canadian Gridiron football uses a longer field than American Gridiron football, though (measuring between the goal lines) still slightly shorter than a typical Association Football pitch.

Australian Rules Football is on a field typically longer even than an Association Football pitch, though I don't believe there is a regulation limiting the size.

> no unit testing

I also prefer to do stuff on the server because doing things in the database does invariably seem to drift towards a confusing, brittle mess. However, I do wonder if that's necessarily the case or just a limitation of our frameworks. There's no principle that would prevent someone from setting up a simple test suite for database code. It would be a lot of work, but maybe there's an architecture nirvana right in front of our eyes if someone just were to properly engineer a good framework around Postgres functions.
With the highest per capita incarceration rates in the G20 though, how's that working out for the USofA though?

Is there a second prong, perhaps, of addressing causes of crime and homelessness, lifting people up, paying serious attention to the rehabiitation of those imprisoned, etc. that might also reduce crime .. and perhaps at a lower cost in the longer term?

Well, in this case, stereoscopic photography had been a thing for a long time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy), and TVs were becoming widespread, so having the idea of combining the two is not some kind of stroke of genius.

Same as I would give more credit to the Wright brothers (and the other aviation pioneers) than to e.g. Leonardo da Vinci...

No: I have more access to obscure stuff than I did in the DVD era. I read Tarantino's book a few months ago and went to go watch Escape From Alcatraz. No chance in hell that Blockbuster would have had it in the 90s, took 15 seconds to pull up online. The Kurosawa films. Come And See. People have weirdly either weirdly idolized or motivated perspectives on what was easy to get access to in the physical media era.

Whatever weird niche local productions you had access to back then with "video rental clubs" I put up against Vimeo, certain that it's unlikely to be much of a contest.

No, I am not happy about it, but what else is there? Do you block YouTube on your network so you don't see content from that platform? I'd wager you don't.

Also, do you really think that any platform as big as YouTube can remain free forever? I will pay for things that bring value to my life. YouTube Premium brings value almost every day. I am pretty sure you pay for things that bring value or make thing easier for you in life, so maybe don't post these kinds of responses in the future as they are cynical and bring no value to the conversation.

None of these, the granularity of the changes are just smaller.

Yes, you could argue that we should go with preview envs and only merge larger changes into main. But then again, this adds considerable complexity to the infrastructure – something that might be merited when we scale to 10+ software engineers.

You can have very complex calculations and a simple output. The complexity of the process to find the weights is not necessarily the same complexity than the process using them. The numbers don't get suddenly special because of how they were calculated (like 42 is just the number 42 even after 7 million years of calculations).

FDA says 561 deaths tied to recalled Philips sleep apnea machines - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39223982 - Feb 2024 (71 comments)
Could something like this cause IPF?

My father passed away a few years ago, after being diagnosed with IPF only about 1-1.5 years before passing. He had no past of being exposed to anything hazardous. His pulmonologist couldn’t ever figure out what could’ve caused it.

He was diagnosed with sleep apnea probably 15 or so years before passing, and used a CPAP nightly.

He eventually developed a nasty cough that never went away, and was finally diagnosed with IPF.

I’m not looking for any sort of retribution, more just possible answers or even just clues, since it’s not clear whether it was related to anything hereditary (I have 3 siblings).

And to be clear, I’m not even sure what brand/model he used (though my mom would likely know). So there’s a decent chance it’s unrelated.
I don't think I believe these numbers... I know they are way overpriced because I paid $30 for my "clones" but still...
