I couldn't disagree more. My current team has a history of large PRs and everything was a dumpster fire until we started really hammering down on PR size. Prod broke all the time, reverting code was a nightmare because of how big the "units" were, code review was not thorough, problems problems problems.

> large PRs are harder to understand but that’s why you have tests

I'd rather have comprehensible, well-reviewed code than test coverage (I'd rather have both, of course). We've got a mission critical module that is a crusty piece of junk that everyone is scared to change because of how much of a mess it is, even with its amazing test coverage (frankly the code is so bad that I assume the tests are just as bad anyway).

> XXL PRs aren’t usually happening every day. If they are, you have a very productive team and maybe you should count yourself lucky

I've never seen an XXL PR that improved productivity. They pile up tech debt, bugs, and down time. I don't care how fast the devs are moving if they bring prod down every week. That is absolutely unacceptable.

On a team of superstar, perfect developers that all understand the code base perfectly, I'd probably agree with you. If that's your situation then I envy you :) But I've never been on such a team.
This is going to be really cool. Being able to have pictures described, with AI, and then edit them using text, like underline this part of the screenshot, or something like that. Especially with Llava 1.6, and Apple's other model where it understands spatial parts of images, this should be pretty possible for me, as a blind person, to do. So yeah I think I'll wait to get this September's iPhone.
A couple of things that are special about 2s compliment

- There are no redundant numbers like -0

- Adding two integers together in this format works with negative and positive numbers with no special case.

-1 is actually 0xFF or 0xFFFF etc. So 0xFF + 0x01 (-1 + 1) "overflows" to 0.
Many job listings say “bachelor degree required” and many ATS systems will auto-reject applicants without a degree. The degree itself doesn’t matter, just that an applicant has one.
If this goes away, either voluntarily or through legislation, I predict the value of most college degrees will plummet.
On an iPhone mini, the circle at maximum size extends a bit beyond the left and right screen edges (slightly more on the left it seems, so not exactly centered). In addition, the page is scrollable vertically by about 10% (except that the “About” doesn’t scroll), despite there being no content that would require scrolling.
Just because AI-specific GPUs are in short supply today doesn't make your argument stronger.

You are complicating the comparison with the incentives for Bitcoin mining. It is irrelevant to the fact that it is today consuming more power than ever due to the increase in demand of the commodity.

In the same comparison, the same increase in demand is what's going to 3x today's energy use for AI and probably even surpass Bitcoin's in the future.
That's not how the law works. It can specifically ban cryptocurrency mining -- after defining what that is -- without impacting other uses.

Not sure I agree with the idea to ban this, though. I think it's a huge waste of time, money, and electricity, but people should be able to do that if they want.

But they should have to pay their fair share for it: penalties for these noise complaints should meaningfully cut into their profit to the point that it would be more cost-effective for them to build proper noise isolation. Electricity prices should be set higher for commercial activity of that kind so local communities aren't harmed, and in places where they aren't mining off renewable energy, the carbon impact of the mining should be accounted for somehow. And we should ensure that these companies are paying their fair share of taxes. I expect the low taxes in Texas is a reason why mining companies like it there, though.

And if paying for these externalities makes mining no longer profitable, that's just the system working as it should.

Can confirm from first hand (customer) experience, I was already on the fence about delivery with all the fees (not sure how many were Seattle-specific before this - I know Ubers in Bellevue, just outside of Seattle, were considerably cheaper than in Seattle proper for a while)... after seeing another goddamn $5 fee I canceled DashPass, my orders went from ~once a week to one in 2024 so far, and I won't tip a lot anymore. The real minimum wage is always 0.

Historically, Apple doesn't sell hardware, they sell a combination of software and hardware that are supposedly more tightly integrated than is possible when those things are developed separately. It's interesting and surprising that they would develop and release an open source model.

Apple only ever promised it would mirror one 4K display. They announced that clearly when they introduced it.

It does that as well as the promised, but nothing more.

The displays on the AVP are truly amazing, the best I've ever seen. In fact I noticed zero issues relating to the displays themselves. Where this device stumbles is the passthrough (cameras) and the Mac Virtual Display (AirPlay). If/when those get better I'll buy another one but for now I'm planning on returning mine before the 14 days are up.
It has "Men" right in the query, no?
I was raised to believe that the entire reason I existed was to take care of my parents. Pops really didn't have a division between "his property" and "my property."

One of the last things he did was sell me the land I'd built my house on. With a personal loan from one of his banker buddies with a 25% APR.

I really shoulda known better as a teenager.
i'm incredibly suspicious of anyone who compares a language with a repl to one without.

as for your 3rd point about packages, just try this: `grep -l '#!.*python' /usr/bin/*` and then run that same command piped into `xargs grep import`. i.e. measure how many applications on your system are importing anything besides the builtins/standard libraries shipped in the base interpreter.

for extra fun, try porting the matches above to Rust and see how fun that is without `use clap`/`use structopt` and `use envlogger`. i think you've got the last point completely backward, not that i think it's a particularly important measure of a language anyway.
> The iPod wasn’t a success because of the walled garden. They didn’t have one (once they released on Windows).

My reading of the upthread comments is that people are saying a walled garden isn't necessary, and using the iPod as an example of Apple's success before it had a walled garden. No one is saying that they had a walled garden back then. They did have a built-in audience (Mac users), but that is different from a walled garden. On iOS, they can prevent app devs from accessing their hardware in the same way they can, effectively neutering their efficiency.
I would even pay a few bucks (one time, not a subscription) to license this software for use. I would love to use Unison for my personal projects, but I'm not about to get locked-in to something, I'd rather build something myself that was worse than this than get locked in for personal projects. I know it has a free tier now, but in the future that may not exist.
Blink works great. Not as a local terminal, but it’s very good for remote shells.
I don’t think it’s a job of academia to instil “good character” into students. It reminds of scientific textbooks in the USSR that had to mention Lenin in their preface and the mandatory subject that taught the history of the Communist Party.

False equivalence. Cars are much older technology than blockchain. In 1908, cars were much slower than they are today. In 1808, horse carriages were much slower. You get the point. The speed at which I expect changes to process differs over time. In some future time, we may all be in self-driving cars that are able to safely exceed 200MPH and we'll think back to our 45MPH street speed limits and laugh. Just like how in 2008, the typical home network had a 5Mbps uplink to the internet, and today it's (depending on the source) at least 135Mbps, with the availability of >1Gbps depending on your ISP and region.

I was using the term "speed" as a concept, and you were using it as a constant. I referred to "speed" as "fast" or "slow." Which is to say, the subjective judgement on what is fast. Which is a decent way to default to judging speed unless the white paper specifies a threshold of transactions per second to be considered "fast." You thought of speed as a constant unit of measurement for speed, which makes no sense unless they have a target for their transactions per second. The problem with that is, the number of transactions per second that a payment solution needs to process is pretty much only going to increase over time, and thus, the goal to be considered "fast" does actually change over time. You're just potentially thinking in too short of a time range to see much drift in that subjective judgement.

I think you're mistaking my intention too. My intention is to say that Bitcoin's perceived speed with handling transactions then, is perhaps slow by today's standards. The goal you gave:

> digital cash with and low fee transactions without the used of a trusted third party.

is at least 2/3rd of the way complete. You have digital cash, with high transaction fees, and no trusted third party. The solution that blockchain designers/engineers seem to have come up with is referred to as "layer 2 rollups" where a bunch of transactions are processed quickly by a trusted third party, bundled together, and then enforced in one big transaction on the actual network in intervals. This promises to be faster, and possibly cost less in transaction fees, but then under-delivers on the third goal of not using a trusted third party. But it is apparently the best way that blockchain engineers have thought up to compete with the transaction processing speed of entities like VISA, at least today. While it's not ideal to trust that third party, presumably you have a choice to opt in or out of the layer 2 network, and enforce your transaction on the slower, more traditional blockchain layer 1. And at least with the layer 2 network, it eventually gets trued up on the blockchain with each of the rollup intervals. It's maybe up for an argument on whether trusting the layer 2 third party is better than, or the same as, trusting VISA. I would potentially argue that it's better, with the caveat of admitting that I am not a blockchain expert. I just potentially know more than the average crypto enthusiast that trades BTC and Doge on institutions like Coinbase.

I will note that the goal you gave said absolutely nothing about speed though.
I really don't want my software to be polite, I think that many Linux CLI tools do a good job with this:

cat: /etc/whatever: No such file or directory

No nonesense, no politeness, just the pure, searchable error. I've noticed that some MS CLI tools do the exact opposite, and print out an entire paragraph to say something very simple, gpupdate comes to mind, spitting this out if the domain is unreachable:

The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has successfully processed. If you do not see a success Message for several hours, then contact your administrator.

A much more sensible error in my opinion would be:

Group Policy update failed: domain.tld: Destination host unreachable / Destination network unreachable / timeout / ...

Which would be both more consice and more informative about the actual issue
"all of a given occupation should not be the same gender or race" is pretty obviously not equal to "a uniform distribution of races among every chosen subset"
Does anyone know which parts are open source and which parts are proprietary? Discarding the obvious hosting service.

British banks were arguably quite slow at the time, with cheques and 5 business day clearing still being common (as well as inane account numbering scheme).

But SEPA system was something that was "in the works" for I think a decade by then. A lot of it was essentially setting up faster interconnection that was compatible and cooperated with existing SWIFT systems and essentially enforced one standard set of parameters.

It also could be her significant other searching about funeral costs and arrangements. I highly doubt it was chemotherapy because the ROAS would be insanely small especially for mail based marketing($0.50 per touch at least). Person isn't dead and could recover.

Interesting. I wonder what the author should have done differently. Second paragraph in the article is:

> I bought the camera from a profile that was created in 2017. They had some other things for sale, too. The account looked legit — lots of family photos and comments from family members.
That's technically true. The typical interpretation would be "[The] site [was] not found" as a verb.
If you squint hard enough you can interpret is as "[The] site [is] not [in the state of being] found".

I had rented a Tesla that weekend, first time driving an EV since I drove a a 90s EV conversion Geo Metro and here is my understanding from talking to people and charging myself.

That was a windy and wet storm, lots of deep drifts, road signage covered, etc. now there are quite a few Tesla drivers who are not enthusiasts and don’t know everything about the tech.

Issue one: if you don’t precondition the battery it’s going to take a while to warm up before charging, and if you are unfamiliar you may think something is broken, and tell other people a charger is broke when it isn’t. In fact you might even leave the charger hanging to indicate it isn’t working instead of putting it back in its receptacle, causing it to ice over.

Issue two: some chargers iced over even when returned to their receptacles properly. Superchargers aren’t new to the Midwest and this was a nasty storm but not something we hadn’t seen before, I don’t think there is some fatal flaw, but idk what the stats are for how many ice up.

Issue three: non preconditioned batteries take way longer to charge, lowering the throughput of the chargers that were not (mistakenly or otherwise) broken.

Issue four, that I didn’t see anyone on the news talking about: you have to back into superchargers. Snow had drifted against the chargers and backing up into them with a RWD version of a Tesla was real hard. I saw several people struggling with this. My rental was AWD and had no problems.

Overall, I’d say I didn’t love the vehicle (AWD model Y) but DC charging was the one thing that really worked well for me, regardless of storm. Before the storm I went 20% to 50% at like 230 kW. That’s fast. I didn’t get that sort of speed during the cold (but I was also on the slower part of the charging curve above 50%) but it still worked well for me.
> What gives someone the right to tell someone else what they must use the electricity they've bought for?

Well, at its base, the law and force of government give people that right, just like any law we make gives anyone the right to tell someone else they can or can't do something.

Electricity is a common resource. Spinning up new power plants is not cheap and has environmental impact. Overtaxing a grid not prepared for the added load causes all sorts of problems for residents. We write laws all the time to encourage behavior we want and discourage behavior we don't want. There's not reason why electricity use around Bitcoin mining should be exempt from that.
Isn't that what science is? Our understanding changes all the time based on new experiments. "Settled science" isn't a thing imho.
One thing the article doesn't get quite right is you can't compare ppd of a virtual display directly to an IRL screen. The virtual pixels are not 1:1 to device pixels. Your perspective is constantly shifting slightly and the virtual pixels being sampled from is constantly changing. This is providing your eyes and brain a lot more data to sample from and means the perceived resolution can be higher than the actual resolution.
Well if any one can log into paypal and open and close cases, they might as well just use the paypal account to pay themselves directly or buy stuff. I don't understand why the seller had to use FB to scam people when they could manipulate the paypal account directly
It's a shame it is toxic at all; the stuff is so damn plentiful and useful.

That said, I think the dangers are poorly understood by the public. It's not radioactive, it just gets into your lungs if you handle it too much. That makes it too toxic for most uses, but I have to imagine there are still some where it can be safely applied.

That wiki was invaluable to me when I took computer organization courses. My recommendation would be to learn x86 assembly and C (also familiarize yourself with gdb!) by writing programs that run on a Linux system and only after target bare metal programming by using something like QEMU + gdb or Bochs for emulating bare metal hardware that's also debuggable.

(I used x86 assembly as an example assuming you wanted to boot your OS on a PC. An alternative could be to target a well documented SBC like the BeagleBone Black)
Hi, one of the Unison creators here. We've talked about adding pluggable syntax[1]. It's in principle straightforward (the code is already stored in a database as its abstract syntax tree, not text) and I imagine a future version of Unison could let you pick from a variety of syntaxes. But we haven't gotten to it yet.

[1] https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/issues/499

... that said, the language semantics and libraries are still going to be different, so even if we have a python-ish or typescript-y syntax, there'll still be new things to learn. :)
And yet you don't need a bunch of personal background to "see how their worldview was shaped" in order to see their worldview and value to the company. The personal questions aspect of the interview is not very valuable, leads to the possiblity of more negative biases, and potentially opens the door to lawsuits if you ask specific things.

Perhaps your view of us "naive" technical folk is itself naive.
In the classic definition of .... "graybeards"... we have no nostalgia for Win95.

Back then we were fighting tooth and nail to undermine MS's monopoly, and Linux as you see it today is the product of that.

I will admit the first times I saw the Win95 interface I found it appealing. Though they actually cribbed a lot form the NeXTstep UI, and I'm much more fond of that.

I prefer the Sun OpenLook UI for nostalgia value, myself.

Moscow, Russia, paves many pedestrian sidewalks with stone (or faux stone?) tiles. It is a nightmare in winter when it is slippery like hell, and in wet demi-season, water gets under tiles and squirts up when you step on them. It also looks more like cobblestone paving after 1-2 years because they cannot figure out how to prevent individual tiles from skewing and sinking.
