> Yeah, in NZ they use a lot of wire based barriers to slow you / stop you while sacrificially dispersing your energy by propagating failure along the barrier. We like to use them to prevent (or minimise the impact of) the head-on collisions our two lane main highways often lead to.

The barrier type you see in the video are backed by steels cables that attach to the sheet metal and anchored at the ends so same idea. You can kinda see them in the video in the side view.
If you want fun, there's the x86 assembly syntax where the destination is the first register, and the x86 assembly syntax where the destination is the last register. One is the syntax as is used in official documentation (the Intel and AMD manuals), most reverse engineering tools, etc. The other is the syntax most commonly used in practice because it's what gcc defaults to and actually isn't documented (which gets into a problem when you start running into what gcc figured was the best way to adapt AVX-512 EVEX stuff into assembly).

So there's a lot of times where I'm staring at x86 assembly and going "wait, which version is this? the one that does destination first or destination second?"
Berlin is not really Germany.

Working in Germany is mostly more exhausting than many jobs in the US.
They do have counter rotating planes though, so there are places where two satellite tracks next to each other moving in opposite directions, and these pairs of satellites cannot use the cross plane communication mode.

Additionally, their inter satellite links use regular Ka band radio.

This is one of those things that would not work as soon as there's a significant number of people not doing it. It's just not practical. Doing something in the existing 7 day structure is much easier.
꩜Substrate | Founding Engineer | NYC – Hybrid/Onsite

We're building a never-before-seen way to declare, run, and scale an ensemble of ML models. You'll get to build a deep understanding of this fast-evolving space, design greenfield developer interfaces and infrastructure, and co-create the culture of what could become a generational company.

Because we're building an ambitious developer product, we're extremely selective with early hires. We're looking for engineers who are extraordinarily meticulous about the foundations, really sweat the details when designing interfaces, abstractions, and infrastructure, and are willing to wear the many hats we'll need to scale this business.

Our founders are friends that have known each other for the last decade since meeting at Venmo in 2013. Rob (CEO) was the founding engineer at Substack, Smalltalk, and Fin.com. He’s been hacking on GPU pipelines for years, and built AI features for startups before realizing he should be building reusable infra instead. Ben (Cofounder) spent the last 8+ years at Stripe, where he led mobile and was the founding engineer on Stripe Terminal. Our early team comes from Grailed, Stripe, Pulumi and the Samsung AI center.

We've raised a large seed round from notable VCs, the founders of Vercel, Venmo, Substack, and others.

YouTube premium in India costs about 129rs / mo ($1.5) with a three month free trial and has no ads and free youtube music.

Isn’t that equivalent? What does it help to use GB instead of PB?
I think there's an argument to be made that large vehicles should face tolls when entering the city. Small vehicles as well but not nearly as substantial. I think some cities already do this to be fair. It's a good way to incentivise that local traffic be kept in as small vehicles as is practical.

> Starting from inclusivity arguments centered around smaller cars not being able to fit "people of all sizes"

Idk. I don't think there's substantially different cabin sizes past a certain point. The space any given seat has in an escalade or F-150 really isn't that different to the space a significantly smaller RAV4 has. And even between say a RAV4 and a camry the amount of space isn't massively different (however the rav does have more space).

This isn't to say that you should be banning normal sized vehicles but there really should be some type of disincentive for 4000+ lb vehicles and maybe an incentive for ultralight vehicles as well.

Just because some people do bad things does not mean you get to paint the whole group with those crimes. Imagine if you had said, "Black people are criminals, because a black person robbed the liquor store down the street last week." We all (hopefully) recognize the deep racism in this statement!

Unfortunately, there are parts of the country where this type of racism is acceptable and even common. There as similar attitudes towards Catholics, due to America's history as a predominately protestant country. The formula is the same both way - pick a heinous crime from a few members, blame it on the group as a whole, and feel smug about yourself.

The thing is that writing a good commit message for future people doing `git blame` is only worth it if it's a line of code which someone in the future will look at and need to know why it was changed from its previous form to the current form.

If you simply want to comment the current state of the code, you should add a comment in the code.

No one will ever need to know in the future why that particular space character is an ascii space, so the whole commit message is just a blog entry in the wrong place.

It would have made sense to just put a comment at the top of the file saying "make sure encoding is whatever".

>Beakiation: how a novel parrot gait expands the locomotor repertoire of living birds

Abstract

Occupation of arboreal habitats poses myriad locomotor challenges, driving both anatomical and behavioural innovations across various tetrapod lineages. Here, we report and biomechanically assess a novel, beak-driven locomotor mode—‘beakiation’—by which parrots advance along the underside of narrow arboreal substrates. Using high-speed videography and kinetic analyses, we describe the limb loading patterns and pendular mechanics of beakiation, and compare the biomechanical characteristics of this gait with other suspensory behaviours (namely, forelimb-driven brachiation and inverted quadrupedal walking). We report that the parrot beak experiences comparable force magnitudes (approx. 150% body weight in the normal plane; approx. 50% body weight in the fore–aft plane) to the forelimbs of brachiating primates. Parrot beakiation is also characterized by longer-than-expected pendular periods, similar to observations of gibbon brachiation. However, in terms of mechanical energy recovery, beakiation is typified by lower levels of energetic recovery than brachiating specialists: a product of its slower, more careful nature. The observation of this novel behaviour—which adds to a growing base of literature regarding beak-assisted locomotor strategies in birds—highlights the extraordinary behavioural plasticity of birds, the functional versatility of the avian beak, and the difficulties in reconstructing an animal's locomotor repertoire from morphological characteristics alone.

>I spent the summer in Berlin and, as an American

That's a pretty bad way to get an impression of a whole country. That's like those American tourists visiting only the instagramable parts of Paris and Rome and then say they "saw Europe" lol.

Especially that Berlin is basically an American/Expat enclave in Germany where the native Germans are a minority to the point they're annoyed that nobody at cafes, bars and restaurants can take their orders in German.

Try vising smaller cities in Germany where the locals are a majority to get an actual feel of the country's culture and people. Berlin is too far from representative, it's just the place most foreigners feel comfortable because they're surrounded by other foreigners.
I know that their developer evangelist is earnestly doing all that can and I applaud them for that, but I'd love to know what internal Apple politics around web standards made them focus so much on CSS and a few quality of life things, but completely ignores what developers have been clamoring for in many respects.

The popover support is nice, and I like the new CSS stuff, and focus on making Pointer Events and Mouse Events more consistent is a big win, however

- Most (all?) of these was work that was being done by the Safari team to support anyway

- There is no explanation about why these were chosen over other items

- They're still refusing to look at what developers have been clamoring for and I know most of these things are not on the top of the list of every day developers. Things like the Origin Private FileSystem, Trusted Types, URLPattern, Import Assertions, JSON Module scripts and a host of other things that would really benefit day to day developers in greater numbers are completely ignored

I feel like Interop is a superficial thing, because these are all things that were going to be implemented anyway and aren't the things that developers have been pounding the door over for years prior (except maybe the CSS nesting stuff, lots of people want to ditch sass and that was one of the last things keeping it around for alot of people)

Overall while I appreciate these features, I'm not terribly impressed, it doesn't really solve my day to day concerns in any meaningful way, sans the `popover` attribute (which will take time to roll out across the industry anyway, regardless of browser support).

As much as I hate the chromium engine monopoly, Apple resists standards with little explanation way too often, and doesn't bother introducing alternatives when they do.

No, you weirdo Guardian journalists, it would not. Because I'm not dead. And when my funeral does happen, I may be the theme, but it will not really be about me. It'll be about the living getting together and comforting one another. Or about whatever they want. Because I'll be dead.

>What stage of capitalism is it when people buy so much drugs to paralyze their digestive track because they have so much food available they are eating themselves to an early grave and then this disrupts supply chains for people who depend on that drug for treating debilitating chronic diseases?

Obesity is a debilitating chronic disorder.

But that's not what the article is about.

It is about potential applications in the treatment of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

"My debilitating chronic disease is more important than your debilitating chronic disorder." is not a defensible position especially since type 1 diabetes already has an effective treatment and people with type 2 can get in line with all of the obese people.

Brute Force Cryptanalysis
This has been covered several times. Seemingly in a way that I failed to make it clear, granted, but without any feedback in what you did take from it to determine where the need for further clarity remains, it is difficult to try to correct. Needless to say, I recognize that you are here in bad faith so I was never expecting you to work towards a mutual understanding, but I throw this out there anyway as the response to it will no doubt be hilarious.

Given that you don't know how to clarify your original message, perhaps we can still salvage something here? Let's assume that OOP is by another definition. Your choice. Define it however you please. Then explain how relational databases fit into that definition.
TU means Institute of Technology. Says nothing about being a good university. Your wife is likely bound to your location what limits her options and like has a degree that is not very in demand, at least not where she lives.

Engineering could be everything. And if she has a degree in, let's say food technology and is willing to work somewhere deep in east Germany for a very low amount of money then she would find a job.
For AI you have to support PyTorch. That works well now on the big AMD GPUs. Consumer gpu capabilities do not matter here.
The judge and Nintendo's lawyers openly discussed how to "make an example" out of Bowser during the case. They presumably feel the amount of money they make being harsh on Bowser far outweighs the amount made forgiving him.
It's possible to do this on an accrual basis, but when I have spoken at times to accountants about it, they have discouraged it: the IRS can be dubious, and it makes the most sense to run your business that way if you're entirely organized around it (i.e., you have a profound mismatch in your basic function between income and expense within calendar or fiscal years).
Normal width scrollbars use way too much space. This is a professional app with a complex dense UI, similar to ones used by image editors, music production software, 3d modelers. All of these use non-native controls, since native ones are too "wasteful"
Phased array antennas probably have a lot to do with this. You can aim the signal more accurately and faster than any mechanical system ever could.

The problem is that we treat the baseline/status quo as something which is beneficial and anything "less productive" would be where the tradeoffs are.

When you say 20% less medical service you might also get 20% more time with your kids/friends/family, 20% more sleep, 20% more reading, &c.

People lived with 99% less of all we have not so long ago, surely there is a middle ground. My mom got oranges for christmas, now anything short of a new smartphone is borderline a war declaration on your offspring
Thanks! I thought I did a pretty good job.
"without a subscription"
I find it kinda ironic that this is coming from a PM.

Software is an area where you can get absurd productivity gains just from having different task definitions, by simplifying things where they can be simplified, or by simply planning better. I've seen plenty of bad PMs making a team work 2x, 3x, 4x more to accomplish something, purely because of unimportant details that ended up being too much trouble.

Not to mention I've seen countless times teams growing from say, 2 to 10 developers and not having even close to 2x difference. Heck, half of Mythical Man Month is about that.

So yeah, amount of time doesn't correlate to amount of work. And especially doesn't correlate to amount of value delivered.

> Most jobs, even in tech, in DE currently require good knowledge of German

I mean of course, d'oh!? You say "even" in tech, I'd say especially in tech (or really any job that requires communication in high performing fields) should have high standards for the native language, because good communication is key.

Call me old fashioned, but the jobs for people who don't speak the native language (well) are reserved to be: cleaners, putting tins into shelves, scrubbing toilets, warehouse work, sorting foul carrots from good carrots on a production line, etc.

I'd say you need a decent level of being able to communicate with your colleagues and stakeholders. If someone struggles then they can drive an Uber and practice until they are better.

it is amazing how all computers do could be done in paper, but not as fast

which means that computer technology since the 70s is really just "faster paper", faster by more then a single order of magnitue... but ultimately paper-equivalent to this day

maybe LLMs, once their computational characteristics are better understood, will finally move computing beyond paper so fast it can write on itself over 2,000,000,000 times per second

Ouch. My team got bit by this today. TBH, I haven't been following what's necessarily included in "Dev Mode" and what's not. But, it appears with this move that they have redacted one of the most essential features of design/dev collaboration. (The ability to inspect, color, spacing, dimensions). This has always been available, until now. It's a lot more expensive, too. Dev Mode is just a huge price increase with not much value add IMO.
Nobody is saying it is acceptable. The problem is every time the Church is brought up somebody has to talk about the abuse/cover up regardless of the topic. It is completely irrelevant to this thread.

Nobody does this with public schools. If people always brought up the abuse and cover ups by teachers and unions regardless of the topic they would be down voted and told it is not relevant to the topic.

If people actually cared about making abuse and coverups known they would bring it up every thread schools are brought up. Instead they only do it with the Church. It is almost as if they just want to attack the Church and ignore it in their own preferred abusive institutions.
