I'd imagine an issue with most plotting APIs is that they're declarative, and specified in terms of a semi-mathematical domain -- rather than imperative and specified as graphics operations. Since they're graphics libraries, that would make their operation more obvious.

eg., pseudocode,

def plotLinear(data, options):
drawCanvas(options);
drawAxes(options);
drawGrid(options);
drawPoints(data);
drawLine(calcRegressionLine(data));
drawLabel(options);

Not at all. A PR still retains all the other useful features like separate threads for comments which be individually marked as done and CI checks. And not all PRs need a local checkout for a review.
Do like Sweden or Norway and split the grid at bottlenecks like the Scottish border and it will be solved by itself by having lower prices in Scotland. It is a political problem, not technical.

No, it doesn't. What you can do is use an RSS proxy to create your own feeds of any site and read that through Nextcloud News. I do this for a few specific sites and purposes - e.g. custom searches on auction sites.

As to Nextcloud News being slow with 50K unread items I wonder whether there's something else amiss as I have close to 600K unread items without undue slowdowns.

The only real slowdown I notice in Nextcloud News is caused by a dog-slow piece of javascript in news/templates/part.content.php which causes a delay any time an item is clicked in the feed. This can be solved by removing everything related to 'sharing' (i.o.w. everything after </time> in the list div (class=utils), make sure to balance those tags...). News is much faster in use that way and since I never use the 'sharing' related stuff - if anything needs to be shared I can just share a link instead - nothing of value is lost.
The Case for Legacy Software
Physical Infrastructure in the real-world has a much longer lifetime than software systems. This presents a number of challenges to operators:

* Hardware components fail at some point while spare parts are no longer available and need to be replaced by modern alternatives.
* Old software lacks support for modern components and a major software upgrade is required for continuing operation.

Learn how this gap can be mediated and what can be done to solve this issue long-term.

I recently connected my Chase checking to my work expense system via Plaid, and it appeared to use an real integration - I was sent to a Chase domain to log on, which explained what data I was giving to Plaid _as well as_ what data I was giving to the third (fourth?) party.

The implication isn't that the allegations are false. The implication is that the problem is imaginary. Facebook can easily be the largest site of an imaginary problem.

That is true, but the argument here is over why people stopped appealing to terrorism to support their policy preferences.

People love to say this, but frankly it is so unrealistic as to border on untrue. It’s a lot to remember. And you can’t transact with “your head” alone, you still need to interface with a computer of sorts; in the event you’re fleeing it’s probably not so easy to purchase a hardware wallet or download the TB-scale blockchain.

It’d be easier to get an FPGA with more RAM or connect some external SRAM. It’s probably hard to get one with less than the maximum addressable memory of an Apple II anyway.
Ease of use and accessibility. Think of how we control access to guns even though a baseball bat could also be used to kill or maim someone.

I agree that we should legislate against the aggressors, that's why I'm pointing out the limitations of technical solutions like watermarks. We need extensions to things like revenge pornography laws, if we're talking about legislation, and I don't see any harm in outlawing services that automate the creation of deepfakes.

Of course the only "solution" is that we would universally behind to teach young boys that they are not entitled to women's bodies or their sexuality, but so many grown men apparently disagree that I can't see it happening quickly enough.
Maybe look into the number of characters that can be shown in a line. With 5/10 tabs and 80 chars per line you need to break code into two lines more often than with 4/8.

Although modern mobitors and resolutions are huge, so you could have 200 character lines. But arent they harder to read than shorter lines?

Unless you can't use ChatGPT for some reason (ex: security), I think it is a totally valid way of solving problems.

The interesting part is what to do when ChatGPT does it wrong, and if the problem is not trivial and an exact solution is not available online, it is usually wrong. Sometimes, not by much, but it takes skill to notice the problem and fix it, either manually or by asking ChatGPT for it.

Same idea as for libraries. One could argue that those using the "sort" function don't know how to write a sorting algorithm, but in real life, unless there are particularly good reasons, rewriting a "sort" function would be crazy, and probably not what you want from your employees.

If you want your candidate not to use the tools at his disposal, you may frame it as a requirement. "on this test, imagine you are working on a sensitive project, you are not allowed to upload any details to a third party service, you can search the internet for generic information, but do as if your development machine has no internet access, so no copy-pasting". Or, for libraries "on this test, imagine we absolutely want to limit dependencies on third party libraries, even if it means sometimes reinventing the wheel, so only <list of libraries> are allowed".

I feel like the discourse on worker rights / work-life balance and demographic issues are more decoupled than they should be. Low birth-rates are provably related to the ability of parents to spend time with their children.

There sure is a way to use the method to go from 4 all the way to 7. Just some of the fixes would be to change Rails version to 5 and 6. Author even said that it’s not a dogmatic thing, there is no point in interpreting it that way, just because OP does not include a couple of sentences on “you totally should upgrade to version 5 before going to 7”. It’s implied.
Easy Introduction to Vector Databases
As part of the massive shift into AI, vector databases have been increasing in popularity. Also known as vectorized databases, they play a crucial role in the context of AI, so it’s important to understand how they work. To do so, we’ll need first to understand what vectors are.
Anyone aware of such implementations for other languages (java, c#, etc)?
True and to further nit pick, a study‘s conclusion is not always a fact.

I'd like to propose that Chrome removed JPEG XL because of the reasons that they wrote about at the time of the removal.

---cut---

Helping the web to evolve is challenging, and it requires us to make difficult choices. We've also heard from our browser and device partners that every additional format adds costs (monetary or hardware), and we’re very much aware that these costs are borne by those outside of Google. When we evaluate new media formats, the first question we have to ask is whether the format works best for the web. With respect to new image formats such as JPEG XL, that means we have to look comprehensively at many factors: compression performance across a broad range of images; is the decoder fast, allowing for speedy rendering of smaller images; are there fast encoders, ideally with hardware support, that keep encoding costs reasonable for large users; can we optimize existing formats to meet any new use-cases, rather than adding support for an additional format; do other browsers and OSes support it?

After weighing the data, we’ve decided to stop Chrome’s JPEG XL experiment and remove the code associated with the experiment. We'll work to publish data in the next couple of weeks.

For those who want to use JPEG XL in Chrome, we believe a WebAssembly (Wasm) implementation is both performant and a great path forward.

It may not be like everywhere but in the US most of my education (k-12) was memorization. All we did was memorize names, places, dates, formulas, or a series of steps (depending on the class) over the course of ~2 weeks then we'd be tested to see what we could remember. After the test, we'd move on to the next thing and could forget all about what we just memorized.

The only classes I can recall that required higher-order skills were some woodworking, CAD, and CNC/machining classes I took while at an off-site vocational school alongside my required high school classes.
You are right that shrinking is a problem for QuickCheck inspired property based testing libraries. Please do have a look at Python's Hypothesis.

Hypothesis is perhaps the most advanced property based testing library. Or at least: miles ahead of QuickCheck. Hypothesis 'solved' shrinking by integrating it with generation. See https://hypothesis.works/articles/integrated-shrinking/ for an overview. And https://hypothesis.works/articles/compositional-shrinking/ for some more.

I am glad that you found a way to (manually) generate useful test cases. I would like to learn more, and I wonder how we can perhaps automate your technique to make property based testing better!

(David R. MacIver, the author of Hypothesis, has lots of interesting ideas. He says that property based testing is such a great concept that QuickCheck, despite making all the wrong design choices whenever they had any choice, was still a revolutionary library.)
I think the main difference between IPFS and bittorrent in terms of usage patterns is that IPFS is being used to host content that could easily by just a regular HTTP server, whereas bittorrent is hosting data which is highly desired and would be impossible or very expensive to host on HTTP.

And so naturally relays pop up, and the relays end up being more convenient than actually using the underlying protocol.
I think you are going the wrong way - I would start with the best possible AI (which will probably be GPT4) and see if it can do it, and then walk backwards to local AI deployments (which are currently significantly weaker).

I think the UK by 2030 (or so) is actually going to have a really major problem with too much renewable capacity at times - not just not enough transmission capacity, just too much full stop.

There's currently 30GW of wind in the UK (offshore + onshore), plus an ambition to get another 35GW of offshore installed in the next 6 years. I'm not sure whether that will be met, but I would project at least another 20GW of offshore wind will come online based on in construction/approved projects by 2030.

At that point we'll have 55GW of wind, plus a huge amount of solar (probably 25GW minimum, potentially a lot lot more).

UK electricity consumption is very low per capita and it is falling rapidly with not much sign of this changing.

I think we are going to be in a position where we have (way) too much power at least 50% of the year.

Some will be able to be used for storage, and some potentially exported via HVDC, but I fear the generation on windy + sunny days will be pretty enormous.

This would all get sorted out by 'the market' but CfD contracts basically pay to keep producing whatever the price (I believe some of the contracts may have changed slightly on this). Which really distorts the market.
I’ve used it many times with great success. Not in a dogmatic way — I don’t usually delete my “code in progress”. I would rather cherry-pick standalone changes to new PRs, and then rebase. Or keep unsuccessful code in a branch that I can look at, when needed.

No, ASML is guarding profound insights. I run a community for silicon valley veterans from areas like silicon design, manufacturing, hardware design, top-tier testing equipment, military and research lab prototyping, etc. The stuff ASML is doing is night on impossible, and even the brightest minds I know in that community find it hard to begin to imagine the minute details that really make ASML's tech stack a possibility as opposed to a flight of fancy.

There's a very good reason why the powers that be decided to move heaven and earth to get TSMC out of Taiwan and onto safer ground. This knowledge is at the very edge of what we know about physics and manufacturing. There's no replicating it, there's only losing it and starting again from scratch with no genius insight at all.

I hope ASML has something like an internal journal, like oldschool HP or Bell Systems, and one day they'll release it, because it will revolutionize what we know about a lot of practical engineering, even if by then it's 30 years behind the curve of what they're doing at that point.
> but they are mass-market consumer oriented which is not interesting.

Kind of. Apple focuses their high end gear on creative professionals. Us Unix geeks have much more modest needs, which are often satisfied by the average uninspired Dell design. Still, Apple has a decent Unix underneath all that glitter. At the same time, there are almost no desktop-friendly Unixes besides the free crowd. HP and IBM have given up on the Unix workstation market eons ago. IBM’s POWER gear can crush the best Xeons and Epycs, but they have nothing to compete with the “good enough” low end.

It’s a shame Oracle doesn’t offer Solaris on their cloud the same way IBM offers AIX (and Z, which, surprisingly, is a certified UNIX as well) on theirs.
Yes, Hypothesis is great! See also my response at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39215177

I was fortunate enough to have met the author of Hypothesis, David R. MacIver, in London a few years ago.

In addition to better shrinking, Hypothesis also has a few more tricks up its sleeves compared to QuickCheck.

> These days, it's common for both parents to work, and yet we're not all twice as rich. Most of that extra money is eaten up by higher housing costs

What was the average home size in 1970? What is the average home size today? Internet says that median house size in US went from 500sq feet to 907 sq feet. So yes, the consumption standards had risen significantly.

> These days, it's common for both parents to work

Can't say for US, but in EU these days it's common for parents to travel. It's common for parents to go on a massage or SPA on the weekends. It's common for parents to do sport, buy a bicycle etc. And I'm talking about regular blue collar peps.

My parents didn't do all that. They lived a much more humble life than most parents today. Also my mother did a shitload of manual work, she washed all the clothes manually, she did cleaning mostly manually, she fixed clothes with her own hands manually. How many times in the past ten years had you fixed your clothes with sewing?

So this "one parent was working" meant basically "another parent is doing a shitload of manual labor at home (because absent/more expensive goods and services) and they overall live a pretty humble life by today standards even adjusted for better services".

If you reduce your living standards to 1970s median, you can easily rise your kids with a single working parent. But neither you, nor your spouse and kids will like that standards of living.
