On the flip side, tech was booming during Covid when a ton of people in retail, restaurants were affected.

All industries and all sectors can’t always be booming without there being a perpetual bubble.

We have trouble finding good engineers to hire, so I’m skeptical when I hear people having trouble finding engineering jobs. My assumption (could be wrong) is a lot of people having trouble getting work haven’t adjusted to “the new norm” whether that be decreased salary levels, changing WFH expectations, etc.

E.g. while I might have been open to hiring a digital nomad in 2021, I’m not open to that anymore because there are more “normal” candidates out there who aren’t asking for special treatment or unrealistically high salaries.

It's worth noting AI's current limitation for sites: pretty poor accessibility. Consider adding some "screen reader hidden" text for the menu link, and try using the interface with your keyboard (tabbing around). Happy to go into more detail if you want, or email in bio.
I am; it is extremely flaky. I use it mostly to make custom GPTs that read and analyze my own manuscripts. In the last few weeks I've had it refuse to read documents completely, read seemingly only the first pages, refuse to produce outlines or summaries, claim inability to parse what should be supported documents, and spew generic crap that is not at all based on the uploaded manuscript at all. It's starting to waste more of my time and energy than it saves.

That's great it works well for AMD64 Linux ELF files. I would be surprised if it didn't given the toolchain seems to have been designed around that triple specifically.

But the majority of embedded platforms are not booting or running AMD64 Linux, they're running ARMv{6,7,8}, MIPS, or 32-bit RISC-V chips.
I'll put the counter to you - if you could have a hinge that goes 180 degrees why wouldn't you? There's no advantage to limiting it. With cheap laptops there's always the kind of implied "this hinge is cheap and crap so in 3 years time it's just going to sit at the maximum open point", but the Thinkpads are way more resilient than that.

Maybe AI is bad for our current society and good for the future ones. The invention of farming was bad for guys who liked walking around in the woods but overall good for every other subsequent society. If our great-great-grandchildren were asked the question of whether we in 2024 should do away with animators so that they, our inheritors, could travel to Neptune, then I'm sure they'd say it's worthwhile.

> So first you have the multiple times worse effect of CH4 and then you're left with CO2, which is still a greenhouse gas.

In case anyone else was wondering, the EPA[1] puts a layman figure on that notional multiple:

>> Methane's lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide (CO2), but CH4 is more efficient at trapping radiation than CO2. Pound for pound, the comparative impact of CH4 is 28 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year period.

When Roe was decided, a liberal law professor stated that it is “bad constitutional law, or rather because it is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.”

Hardly anyone defend’s Roe’s original reasoning anymore, because it makes no sense. That’s why over the decades the defense of Roe has largely been reduced to the assertion that it’s precedent. It’s the left’s Lochner.

Invoking “experts” is unavailing because those experts are not speaking within the scope of their expertise. Their assertions are in the realm of moral philosophy, not law. It’s a religious edict within the church of secular humanism.
I'm sorry but I can't help but feel that this is just semantics. Growing up in the 90s, I remember that it felt perfectly apt to me that a chess engine is "Thinking..." as it does whatever it does to come up with its next move.

Siteswap notation is really cool. At the same time, it's important to also realize that it's a distillation of juggling that deliberately sacrifices capturing much of the performance information inherent in actually throwing balls in the air to impress an audience.

Very much like how sheet music doesn't capture the nuance and expressiveness of a performance. It's a useful tool, but being able to read sheet music does not a musician make.
Article says they would make cuts in the coins to tell if they were counterfeit and that "greatly reduces their value to collectors" but wouldn't that be cool to have an ancient cut and verified coin? Seems they would be more rare and more valuable.

I guess if you want to deny yourself top of the line capabilities because you can't ask it poorly worded questions or might occasionally need to clarify intent for the model that's a fair strategy.

Amazon has their own Android tablets, tvs so they have a vested interest in running their own store.

Unfortunately, shipping Google Apps (GApps) requires meeting certain standards and conditions, which WSA was likely unable to do. Since GApps gatekeep the majority of the average persons Android experience, WSA was doomed for most everyone except the techies that could shoe horn GApps onto WSA.

The real problem is the on going engineering effort required to update and maintain WSA. Google can't even do it for Chrome OS, we're on Android 14 but ChromeOS is still on 11 (at least as of Dec 2023). It's just a different beast than a Linux subsystem.

Define "crash". Do you mean a real crash? Or just a recession?

There's a huge difference between a normal business cycle, and, say, 2008 or 1897. In a normal cycle, there's often a lag time between where the economy actually is (especially viewed with hindsight) and where the Fed policy is. By the time the Fed starts reducing rates, business activity has already started slowing down, and six months later they will say that we're in a recession.

In a real crash, I'm less clear on the dynamics, but I think that soon after the economy starts slowing down, some speculative bubble pops because people figure out that it's not going to keep going up forever. There's not necessarily a clear cause-and-effect or timing link between that and interest rates, so far as I know.
The half life is 12 years.

So after 24 there's still a quarter, after 36 still an eighth, etc. It's worse than CO2 for a very long time, and then it is CO2.

> If anything airline pilots should be taught to troubleshoot a plane more and fly it less.

Air France 447 is generally viewed as showing the opposite need.

The disaster happened because the pilots were not at all involved in the flying process and suddenly thrown into a problem situation without that situational awareness.

If anything training is already very focused on troubleshooting. And yes systems knowledge could be better. But there's many cases where there's just no time for it and that human awareness is no important. But they are kinda zoned out, similar to when you're a passenger in a car and have less geographical awareness due to not being involved.

> from IBM banning the use of their mainframe OSes in emulation

I don’t think they would have tried that in the 1970s, when there was an antitrust suit against them for disallowing running their software on plug compatible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_compatible) mainframes.

That (I think) made IBM offer reasonable licensing terms for their software (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl_Corporation#Company_ori...: “Amdahl owed some of its success to antitrust settlements between IBM and the U.S. Department of Justice, which ensured that Amdahl's customers could license IBM's mainframe software under reasonable terms.”)

That case eventually got dropped in 1982, so it didn’t lead to any jurisprudence as to if/when such restrictions are permitted.

(Aside: for a case that ran for over a decade and produced over 30 million pages (https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=923), I find it strange this case doesn’t seem to have made it to Wikipedia yet, and how little there’s elsewhere. Nice example of how bad the public digital record is)

> Can any of you?

Yes, several. I sometimes use my laptop on my ... lap, and the 150 degree angle is not enough to get my gaze perpendicular to the display. Or I can use it while lying in bed/cough on my back and prop it on my lap with the display towards my knees and 150 degrees doesn't work.

But the most common daily use, I also bought one of those adhesive kick stands/feet from Amazon that lifts the back of your laptop off the table by a few cm, useful for cooling and for ergonomics by bringing the keyboard at an angle and the laptop screen higher up so you can view it while looking more straight ahead rather than hunched down looking towards the table to strain your neck and ruin your posture, and again, if your laptop only opens 150 degrees than you won't view the display perpendicularly but at an angle which sucks. 180 degree hinge means I can prop it up as high as I want and still view the screen at the right angle.

>I mean would anyone complain if it “only” went to 150°?

Yes, I only buy laptops that open >150 degrees which sadly automatically means no Macs. It's sad that Apple and others have conditioned users so much to only restrict themselves and their working positions to places that only accommodate the limited hinges of their displays, that somehow a rudimentary feature like a 180 degree hinge now baffles people and requires an explanation.

It's like learning to walk on one leg your whole life then asking people walking on two legs why they'd want that. Once you get to know this freedom, you can't go back to the old ways.

Like what's their problem? The manufacturers I mean. Why can't they all make their hinges 180 degrees? Are there users out there who would be bothered if their screen could tilt over 150 degrees, or does Apple think tilting the display more than 150 degrees looks ugly and ruins the product's sleek aesthetic in the Apple store? It just feels like a stupid arbitrary restriction and not a technical one.
Not so many books there, though, unless they are hidden away underground.

That's not a Steam thing though, but rather the specific software. Steam explicitly has an exit path for the user if Valve disappeared overnight that allows their downloaded games to continue working offline.

Oftentimes the way to learn complex real-life skills is to break them up into smaller interactions that you can gamify to get that immediate dopamine high of a successful intermediate result. This is a large portion of my job as an engineering manager - breaking up complex strategic goals into an MVP launch + follow-ons, ensuring that projects are scaled appropriately to the skill level of the people doing them, and rewarding folks with bonuses and promotions for successful milestones on the path to that strategic objective.
The repository id can be derived via a hash function from the initial set of maintainers, so all you need to know is that you have the correct repository id.

The advantage of this is that (a) it verifies that the code is properly signed by the maintainer keys, and (b) it allows for the maintainer key(s) to evolve. Otherwise you’d have to constantly check the official website for the current key set (which has its own risks as well)
