Sorry dude, this is how the world is working today. A truckload of my local government apps only function on iOS/Android. They don't even have a web-site. They used to have one on the past, but due to "bad experiences" on mobile devices, they shuttered it.

So, yes a smartphone is now an "essential computing device". This is no longer a matter of opinion. Its now a matter of fact.
It actually hasn't been shutdown yet, so that moment will still be coming. My theory is there is no one left to even turn it off and it will continue to run until it's hosting bill is past due and the servers are shutdown.
> convicted of terror activities

Yes, such as "throwing stones" at armoured vehicles - truly despicable! Many are held without charge too. And many are held under "administrative detention", which means they can be held in a dungeon, without charge, forever. These are not the actions of a modern, progressive, democratic country.

I'm sure that some are imprisoned for good reason, buy many are there for spurious reasons - and none of them should be tortured or subject to sexual abuse, regardless of their supposed crimes.
Of course it`s possible to do the website map more understanding. But this moment require more time. It will be better soon. https://www.newkidscar.com/
Who are you to say what a "real" Russian deal is? Are you a Russian citizen?

If no: then you can do NOTHING effective about Russia.

Reign your own war criminals in and bring them to heel. Only after you have done that, are you going to be in a position to do anything effective about Russia - if, indeed, the "Russian threat" boogeyman still persists, long after you've actually sent your own war criminals to rot in chains in The Hague .. which is, admittedly, quite unlikely given that the very same war criminals you would have to confront and prosecute are the ones telling you boogeyman stories ..
> he geniuses who gave us all GDPR pop ups

It was not part of GDPR, GDPR also says that giving and removing consent should be equally easy and not remove functionality (like disabling the whole website with a transparent black background) hence the vast majority of the cookie banners are illegal.

Blame companies for illegal behaviour, the EU's rules are supposed to give you the information about how/where your private information is being shared. That's genius, and you should be grateful that now you know how much your personal information leaks.
Perhaps the book is a gift for the person on the other side of the messages in question.
a 10000ft style guide for the overall structure of technical essays and articles.

I've enjoyed how it focuses on the readers intent to quickly capture and find meaning in what you write, by how you organize your writing and how you make the organization obvious.

thanks for sharing
Go ahead. Just email me. I'll answer you next time I'm on my laptop. It's not problem at all.
Practicing software architecture should generally lead you to minimize side effects and efficiently manage sections of state small enough to fit into your working memory IMO.

FP can be used to get you there, but it strongly optimizes for readability of experts in most cases which harms readability in general, as there are always fewer experts.

At least that's been my experience with FP languages in the professional space. People often underestimate the benefits of good tooling, a large community, and deep candidate pool.
I read this as "owner of _a_ Bob", as opposed to the owner of the actual company.
"Without overbyte" doesn't quite hit the same anymore.

There was a time when one would have been in mortal danger of having cabinets containing 3.75MB worth of storage tip over onto one; these days 1TB could fall on one's head without effect, but may instead be a choking hazard.
Named complainants include the estimable Dr. Johnny Ryan, doing God’s work again.

“People across Europe have been plagued by fake “consent” popups every day on almost every website and app since the GDPR was introduced almost six years ago”, said Dr Johnny Ryan of ICCL Enforce.

Grateful to have him onside
I like this a lot. We need more hard records of personal correspondence. It would be cool to do this as a service.

Honestly when I read the title I thought it was going to be about using message history as a basis for generating a narrative account of the events using an LLM.
If anything has to be installed, I’d say it would still be wise to use a provided device. I didn’t notice anything about it in the article, though the mention of a tablet option makes me assume it’s web based.
We see endless posts about the Chinese, the Russians and so on - now it is about Israel though so no more "political posts".
I love this idea! I think this would be a fun idea, except 1) not sure how it would handle pictures, and 2) there are probably some texts which should not be published!

Also - noto emoji is great. It is also nice to use for 3d printing/laser cutting
I don't have any other suggestions for you. I personally resist the temptation when I see a product is made by HP. It's an easy choice, the trade offs of buying HP hardware just outweigh whatever interest I might have in one of their products. HP's long history of being hostile towards it's customers has made me permanently decide against being one of their customers.

You do what you want, but I personally wouldn't buy anything from HP, regardless of price, power, or aesthetics.
I would love to see the EU swiftly put down the law and make an example of Apple in this case. I'm sure it won't take too many 10% of global revenue-fines before they get in line.

Apart from those light colors being horrible (or I'm color-blind), doesn't this curvy design only cause problems when needing to consider the attachment of cooling solutions and other addons like security and the like?

I honestly don't get the outrage THAT MUCH...

"we want to be as open as possible but we fear there are dangers so we'll just close it at some point but make it as benefitting to everybody as possibe"

seem to really be both what they agreed on and are currently doing, especially with GPTs and such.

Of course open source would have been better but even if you disagree on the assessment of the danger, you can respect the fact they still indeed try to make it as cheap / useful as possible.

There's always a question that who is in control of a tech when themselves claim it can be dangerous, but what institution can pretend to be completely democratic / not prone to abuse by bad actors ? What model could have been better ?

I also don't get the profit angle... they need cash to train stuff so it's normal to monetize.

On yesterday’s live stream[0] on Stephen Wolfram’s Twitch the team went through several improvement proposals to functions in WolframAlpha, including QuantumCircuitOperator which is a variant of a String Diagram.

Before this I didn’t know Stephen hosted “Live CEOing” sessions and now I wish this was the norm!

I’d rather a language is designed to accommodate the human mind, and work back from there through the compiler to figure out how to map that to the capabilities of the hardware, than the reverse.

Speaking for myself, when I’m mentally modeling how I logically work through a problem, which concepts I’ve allocated, used, and freed are not a part of my thought process.
And Brazil adopted the LGPD back in 2018, it's very similar to the GDPR.

Well, we will need to agree to disagree. I see some utility libraries in `base/common` for disposables management, eventing and actions that you are terming a "framework". I don't even know how I would use this as an independent framework outside vscode. Even if I could, the rendering and organization logic would be mine not delegated to fundamentally unique framework paradigms like React/Vue/Angular.

The creators of vscode also explicitly state they don't use UI frameworks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnKzJRr-rd0

Unless we are calling all libraries and packages as frameworks...
EU mandates that gatekeepers work towards privacy and safety of the customers as a requirement in the DMA/DSA.

From this link[1]:

> Obligations for very large platforms that reach more than 10% of the EU’s population to prevent abuse of their systems by taking risk-based action and through independent audits of their risk management systems.

They have a mandate to prevent abuse of their platforms from other apps or third party app store. This is in conjunction with opening up the same ecosystem for everyone else.

Because the PNAC/CNAC plans for the economic survival of the USA and its western allies depends on the defeat of Russia and the balkanization of its resources?

Haven't you been paying attention? The PNAC/CNAC oligarchs and their military junta have made it quite clear for decades that they want what Russia's got...

Albania accelerating its EU accession by 5 years thanks to AI
Gender salary gap is a privilege of hours worked and work experience. People who work full time get the privilege of getting more paid that those working half time. The linked ourworldindata page also says this, as the gender salary gap is about inequality and not necessary discrimination. The ourworldindata page does also not use the word privilege.

A major cause of inequality is that mothers spend less time in the work force during and after pregnancy, and that there are a higher ratio of mothers than fathers. Fathers also do not take out their given parental leave, with many reporting that they are not allowed to because of cultural discrimination (including from their partners).
It depends if skipping means questions not answered or if it means questions skipped to answer later questions. But either way it's more like playing gameshow host than making a meaningful exam.
> This post feels especially jaded and anti-intellectual. Writing simple code isn’t stupid, why be so harsh on yourself?

The reason I think self-critique takes a rather extreme turn is because of anxiety. If we analyse the root cause, there may be more than _just_ anxiety at play but I do feel it plays a significant role(IANAD though; just an observer).

Every programmer first and foremost are humans. And as humans, we are bounded by the highs and lows of the software we develop. Some of the low self-esteem can come because _life_; some might be because they hold their bar too high to achieve dramatically; some because, they might think of engineering software as an easy-peasy task but find that it can _sometime_ come with unseen/unheard baggages; all or partial part of the aforementioned causes could lead further to be in said state of mind.

To some extent, we(as in software people) need to be brave, hold our self beliefs/values, try to elevate our self-esteem and recommend our friends/family/colleagues to do the same. It's this collective esteem that will carry us together in this journey. It's not easy to overcome fear, anxiety, depression or any other state of mind(IANAD though; just an observer). I am cognisant of the fact that it is definitely easier said than done but do note that humans are capable of achieving marvelous things both intellectually and viscerally.

Perhaps, try to be social, go out and about, have hobbies, meditation, hiking, exercise - just to name a few that helped others I have met.

Last but not the least, I cannot let myself buy the argument that someone thinks of themselves as dumb.
It's extremely more likely that one has not had the opportunity to have the __foundational__ understanding and the shift required to think laterally in those terms. To acquire those, perhaps try to read more books and experiment more. These are more valuable use of time IMHO than to be harsh on oneself. But, to re-iterate, we are all humans at the end of the day.

They seem to have issues with rain (no real surprise), but the process seems relatively straight forward.

I wonder if, for smaller scales, a cable-driven, flying delta could be used? For garage-sized buildings or smaller houses this could work (though I believe pre-fab to be cheaper).
You should’ve lead with being from Virginia. That entire state is layers of pay for play schemes. They might’ve removed road tests to “save money” but they’re more than happy to keep up car inspection, emissions, registration and a vehicle value tax.
If you have a goal of being able to confidently reason about your code, such as to be confident it won't go "wrong", then making it more math like would seem to make a lot of sense.

As far as the IO thing is concerned, one could use pure functions to construct a model of an imperative program. Then you just need something to run it... There is a sense in which this is exactly what is done in practice.
No, Putin is actually bothered by the presence of NATO bases designed to attack and invade Russia being established directly on his borders, within minutes of flight time to Moscow. He also had huge issues with Ukraines' NATO-funded biological warfare program.

Haven't you been paying attention?
You are moving the goalposts and reaching. Administrative detention is used on Israelis too, this is not the argument here.
Those released in the latest exchange and in the Gilad Shalit exchange were convicted, many of which had innocent blood on their hands.
Hamas isn't looking to correct the Israeli justice system, and you are calling actual and attempted murderers hostages...

Speed is an issue with larger SD cards but so is reliability.

Better make a backup copy of anything you put on an SD card because the failure rate is rather high in my experience.
When everything is expensive that isn't value going up, that's the value of money going down.

That's not to say that there aren't shifts in preferences that cause relative valuation changes as well, obviously covid/remote work changed the situation wrt housing to an extent. But that shift is also superimposed on top of The Everything Bubble caused by a decade+ of negative real rates, which has dramatically inflated asssets relative to incomes, concentrating wealth and allowing second-home buyers, investors, etc to buy up these smaller towns.

Let's watch and see if the market ever comes down and, if it does, if mountain town housing prices also come down. That will confirm or disprove my theory.
I think OP osbreferring to the 160 children and over a thousand Palestinians held without charges in Israeli prisons as of April 2022. Just a guess so.

As far as I know, they ship a whole package of tools to customers who would like to repair their equipment. They also made the latest iPhone models easier to disassemble. What do you think they should have done in order to comply benevolently?

How about 20 years ago? I saw Hinton's Restricted boltzmann machine and was dreaming of what we have today. Unsupervised learning, but in reality we got 10 years of supervised models before unsupervised was big.
It's the same person you're talking about, he's done both of those things. He seems to be doing fine for himself. Which suggests that he's not falling victim to his own intelligence as described in the article, but rather just lying.

PS. Some people build aggregators to help people find events. Here’s one simple approach based on Hugo:

Repo: https://github.com/gnistor-se/gnistor

URL: https://www.gnistor.se/

(the docs and the site are in Swedish but Google Translate can be used to overcome that for anyone who wants inspiration)

I guess this approach works best if confined to either a) a geographical region or b) a “community boundary” (e.g. a programming language).
No, I'm not mixing up sources with coverage of sources. I am comparing one news media article in the Guardian to another news media article in the Guardian, and I am comparing current popular reporting on climate to past popular reporting on climate.

Which I think is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, and which you think means I lack credibility. That's the issue here.

The Guardian now, and in the past, has a history of apocalyptic predictions such as "Ice-free summers in Arctic possible within next decade, scientists say". They haven't proven true in the past, and this one won't either.

Because what the Guardian is doing, now and in that past, is to pick outliers and the most extreme predictions in order to generate clickbait headlines. They do this in order to make money, and in order to support their ideology.

And it has caused real harm. People who know nothing of consensus climate science will read the headline "Ice-free summers in Arctic possible within next decade, scientists say" and it will cause them needless worry, the way the headline about "the danger of an ice-free Arctic in the summer within two years" caused them needless worry over a decade ago.

And the journalists and editors writing these garbage pieces that have turned out to be false for the last 75 years will face no consequences for publishing lies.

That's the part I am calling bullshit on. These lies affect peoples lives. And, as I pointed out in my original post, "Liars are not believed even when they speak the truth".

There's no article that the Guardian could conceivably publish that would get me to take climate change more seriously.
When the decision is 9-0 and involves Trump it's highly unlikely they created their own meaning.

- This looks great! Very robust and I really like the focus on interoperability.

- As a general design, I prefer the integrated "function with parameters" node type found in systems like Unreal's "Blueprints" far better than having to manage the parameters and functions separately from each other. It's more cumbersome to develop, but no less flexible to use, and loads more simplified. A distinction for the code flow from the data referencing is helpful for me, at least.

- It doesn't fit my exact needs, because I need something that allows me to expose this functionality to users. Essentially, I need something that does what your playground does, as a library. The interoperability is perfect, though! Allowing users to set up flows and then being able to simply import them rather than having to translate them is a fantastic DX. I guess, at the end of the day, I would still like clean, nicely formatted Javascript (not typescript), so I imagine your library isn't really suited for that, either. But I definitely like the architecture of it!

Are stimulant prescriptions for ADHD carefully calibrated in dosage and time to get patients to a baseline? In my experience, doctors ask you questions to determine if you have attention deficits, then give you a prescription, which will be changed in various directions (different medication, increased dosage, etc) if you report problems; they very rarely in practice have you take an in-depth "attention measuring" test and then prescribe on that basis.

What is the baseline? Would anyone consider it cheating if they took extra or changed their dosing schedule to maximize their test score? I think most people would consider that rational behavior, not abuse. But it does call into question whether that's "fair" to people without the drug.

If you watched the Netflix documentary you will know the conduct was much worst than that. After the first accident, and before the second accident, the Boeing CEO went on CNBC saying the airplane was safe when they were already aware of the problem.

Hm, I'm not sure. I don't talk with other diabetics much so I guess I don't know what other's experiences are like. I go to sleep and wake up on the same schedule every day including weekends. My eating is not rigid, but does tend to be consistent just because my daily routine is consistent. I'm not "low carb" or anything, but I do follow a healthy-ish diet and avoid hyper sugary foods (soda, coffee milkshakes, sugary cereals) like the plague. Diabetes or not, no one should be eating that stuff :)

I do miss having the moment-to-moment trajectory information. Knowing whether I'm still going up 90 minutes after a meal was valuable. But I find I'm able to feel when I'm above 200 mg/dL, so can just correct by feel most of the time.
That really does capture it in a way I haven't thought about in while. Reading DDJ wasn't just about programming (much of it I honestly only, at best, barely understood) , it was also discovering the existence of this cool exotic culture 'out there' of smart people who sounded and acted nothing like anything I'd seen or heard before, and that I desperately wanted to be part of.
That’s highly dependent on the kind of software you write.

Some software necessitates the programmer thinking about memory usage and optimization (games, simulations, machine learning, etc)
