As someone who has been getting around 15,000 steps per week (according to my phone), this number seems to low. I sometimes pace around while on the phone for work (usually without my phone on me, so my true number is likely a little higher). Other than that, I walk very little. Based on my experience living this life, it’s not good. I have had a noticeable decrease is how steady I am on my feet, various pains from a lack of movement and activity, and it got to the point where I received a notification on my phone that I’m at high risk of falling sometime in the next year. That’s not a notification someone in their early 40s should get.

Maybe 15k steps is better than laying in a bed all day and never waking at all; I’ll buy that. However, it’s far from optimal and shouldn’t be anyone’s benchmark, assuming they have some base level of mobility to start with.

Only getting 15,000 steps per week requires an extremely sedentary lifestyle, one which can likely only be accomplished while working from home.
It’s always amazing to consider what people think about the economy vs how it’s actually doing.

Japan has a Debt to GDP ratio of 255%, relatively few natural resources, and a rapidly aging population, yet it is still doing reasonably well. America by comparison is in a vastly better position economically.
This is somewhat a naive interpretation. Yes, the EU can enforce certain regulations, ban Apple, etc, but not without repercussions. We live in a global trade environment. It really comes down to whether the US administration would find the EU's actions unreasonable and whether there would be economic repercussions in turn.

A trade war is the last thing the EU wants, especially when they are completely and utterly dependent on the US for technology and protection, so it's very unlikely that the EU will get all extreme on Apple or other US tech companies.

It will push as hard it can but we will not see a protracted ban. The EU understands that it can only push so hard before it starts a trade war and harms itself out of spite.
Was the money spent on the Sprint rocket interceptor spent well?
It's a utf8 string though, Go gives you a reader which is any type of data.
And while setting up cities to go from car-centric cities to something that's walkable and/or easily accessibly by bus/train/bike for the majority of able-bodied people is something I agree with, that's a change that will take decades to roll out. In the meantime, the cars are here to stay, so we might as well push to get cleaner ones.
So far only the Ai I trained myself, I won an award for that, but then was laid off due to github copilot being really good, and haven't found work since so its not been good.
These users can do the same thing by refusing to use any other store even if they are allowed to, and if there are many of them they'll have leverage. But what they want is to force other users, who would willingly use other stores, to also use only the same one as them. They have no right to force others to do that any more than Apple does.
Why does first class decrease the chance of rowdy children?

In some cities, only the rich can afford multiple kids.

Much was made of the fact that, once modern western equipment arrives in UK, it will wipe the floor with soviet union relics that serve in the Russian army. Instead, it has hardly made a difference.

The difference in price, even of simple non-mobile artillery pieces, is huge. Because they are so expensive, we cannot field as much equipment, and we've been telling ourselves that our modern equipment is worth multiple unit of the other side. Now I am starting to think we've just been deluding ourselves, and in reality we are just outgunned and the military complex is a huge graft.
I think you might want to take a step back and understand the abstraction they were making.
Obviously not even close
Are you talking about that one "study" that claimed the TikTok algorithm aligned with CCP interests that was about as rigorous as a high school science fair project?
That's a bad rule of thumb. Some foreign airlines are significantly worse than the better US airlines like Delta.

You also have to consider safety (some airlines only fly Airbus planes, some are mostly Boeing), cost, and convenience.
Two different international coalitions are now trying to design 6th-generation fighters that will be available for export, but the earliest they could possibly be available is 2035. So, for at least another decade the F-35 will be the only survivable 5th-generation fighter available for purchase in US-aligned countries.

There are still a few other 4th-generation fighters in production, some with modernized systems, but at this point they're only suitable for a limited set of defensive or low-intensity missions. Russia and China supposedly also have operational 5th-generation fighters now but it's unclear whether those actually work, and they can't build enough to even supply their own forces let alone exports.

Special mention, the f***ton of Whatsapp clients on the iPad when Whatsapp didn't have any releases for the iPadOS up until last September.
Cost per flight hour is still much higher than its slightly less capable competitors.

I don't know what the argument is for that. Maybe that sim training will be a larger percentage of training in the future, and therefore operating costs don't matter so much? Take whatever jet has the best capabilities, period?

I think what that misses is that maintenance of real aircraft will atrophy without constant pilot feedback. Of course mechanics can follow the maintenance guidelines, but so much of that, historically, is guided, modified, and improved by experience from wear and tear from actual use.

Sure. And we're over-supplied with breathing air to the point that nobody bothers to store it in bottles for a low-air day. I don't think we can reach saturation supply of everything we might possibly want because we're naturally competitive, explorative and status-seeking and will just invent new things to want, even if they're zero sum. Those things will probably be able to be bought with money.
The day after that, we have true AGI.

On a more statistically relevant note, just note that US / Nato allies feature on like 1/3 of armed conflicts in the 21st century.

I doubt this is the only request that NYPD sent in this matter. How did the other companies behave?

The NYPD may have pulled this request to avoid scrutiny, but they probably didn't pull all the similar requests that succeeded. The problem is that it's impossible to generate standing in the court if you can't know about their requests.
Years back, I read the life hack of requesting a Halal meal. I can confirm that on the one flight that I both got fed and received the same, the food seemed superior to the non-Halal options.

The other life hack is, of course, to bring your own food. I can confirm that I've gotten the stink-eye a couple times for pulling out my own food while everyone else was suffering whatever was rejected by the inmates at the state penitentiary.

Frankly, if you're flying out of Italy, and are eating airline food, you're flat-out doing it wrong.
Can you share the detail? you mean cant deploy on mac?
Or run the motor in reverse in the final stage of braking.

I drive a hybrid and, when parking, switch between drive and reverse even while still rolling the opposite direction as it's easy for the motor to deal with such loads.
> That is normal

sadly, as time goes by, this is becoming less of a norm. people just spit out acronyms because they are so used to, but fail to take a second that someone less familiar might actually be reading it. in previous discussions, this receives some support as "it's targeted a like minded readers" or "they're not professional writers" or "it's just a blog" blah blah.

for tweets, i'm surprised we still you vowels. for longer form posts, it would be nice to still be readable.
It's pretty decent, to be honest, but I usually bring snacks if I'm not flying out of Hawaii (which does not permit that).
I can't find the reference, but:

There's a building somewhere with the digits of pi painted on a ceiling. I presume it celebrates someone (maybe 18th Century) who calculated N digits. One of the numbers is painted larger and a different colour because it marks where the person first went wrong in the calculation

On FP precision, sh has almost none, AWK often has up to 20 bit and 53 with gawk and the math library. Ditto with bc -l.

Calc has an arbitrary decimal precision and it's really fast.

Didn't agree so much. I generally avoid air travel, when I have to, sometimes I'll bite the bullet for first class. I'll fly Delta over the cut rate carriers.

I'm not a luxury car guy... But have bought a few Buick cars along the way.

So I'll pay a premium for comfort and quality in general to a point. Not everyone does every time, but there should definitely be the option.

It really helped my son learn to program, he is making all kinds of things now with Arduino.

I think it is psychologically beneficial for me—the upsides tend to outweigh the downsides.
When this happened for me the first time, about 6 months ago, I initially thought it was the start of "geographic atrophy", a syndrome that Henry Winkler (The Fonz) does a commercial for, which is very scary, and irreversible. A bunch of web searching eventually led me to scintillating scotomas and realized that's exactly what I had, so I felt quite a bit better. I've had perhaps a half-dozen total. I'm also fortunate that it has not been accompanied by migraines.

I’m not a developer, but I do sometimes write code and it can write fairly trivial code way faster than me, but it never works exactly on the first try. Any real conundrum I face and it falls apart pretty fast and just offers the most generic advice imaginable.

So there is a bit of a convenience factor, but all the people saying it’s a game-changer strike me as a bit premature at best.
If anyone is longing for the pre-deregulation days of aviation, ticket prices were a lot higher back then.

My grandmother was telling me about her honeymoon in Europe in the 1960s. Inflation-adjusted, the tickets were $3000 each!

Flying back then was better for smokers. They used to have smoking sections on planes. Grandpa loved his Chesterfields.
It was kind of a weirdly written intro, but I think it was meant to set up "here are some examples of how ridiculous things were before deregulation".
Being a complacent market leader may come back to bite them in the backside.

The world is getting more technical. People will demand openness. If I buy a product, I should have reasonable flexibility to use it how I want. Even if I break it, repurpose it or improve it, I want the choice to do so, just like I have with pretty much every other thing I own.

People will vote with their wallets if Apple refuses to open things up a bit.
I get these, but there's no pain associated with them while they're happening. Hours later, there's a kind of "sore spot" in my brain that I can feel if I cough or sneeze, or shake my head quickly. The spot corresponds to where the spreading depression was -- so if the aura was on the left, I feel it on the right side of my brain and vice versa. Usually hurts for about a day before subsiding.

I've had dozens of these over years and learned to live with them. They seem to be triggered by stress and possibly caffeine, as others have noticed. Thankfully (?) they have become less painful over time.
That's neither here nor there for whether Apple has the right to insert themselves into every transaction on their platform and gets to decide which apps are allowed to exist.

And let's not kid ourself: Microsoft is enabling (and re-enabling and re-enabling and re-enabling) so many things because they are slowly turning their OS into spyware to make more money, not because they care at all about their users.

I'll re-iterate Cory Doctorow's quote: "Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit".
Getting hired tends to be something you worry about more in your 20s than in your 50s.

Speaking generally of course. It's not much fun being fired in your 50s. Although by that point you probably know enough about something that consulting (ie short gigs) are both available and lucrative.

But generally, by the time you're in your 50's you've acquired enough expertise that you add more value than you consume. Which means you're unlikely to be fired.

That experience, and ability to understand both the upside, and downside, can be really valuable.

Certainly good communication skills help, and the better you are at getting information out of your brain, and into everyone else's, the better you'll be for it.

For the record, I'm at 42 and counting :)
Doesn't this only detect when you press caps lock and turn it on? That's the result I got from testing it out in the browser console.

Despite not using the site anymore, I appreciate how facebook handles this. If your password is incorrect, it checks again with the case swapped to account for caps lock being on.
Sorry, you are or course correct, I should have said all extensions with native code.
That's because you're paying for a wider seat and better service.

I suspect they are just as happy to take some kids parents money for the seat as not.

And judging by the number of people I know that get upgraded, its not like they sell out every flight.
Yes, but many don’t buy first class for the food. On a red eye (often don’t serve much food at all and if they do it’s very rushed) it might be you need to sleep for a meeting tomorrow. Or if you’re tall, leg room + basic comfort.
Not bad, but I feel like a single tower would have been funnier.

Short post: A look at Devin, the AI-powered software engineer
> When asked to rank those resumes 1,000 times, GPT 3.5 — the most broadly-used version of the model — favored names from some demographics more often than others, to an extent that would fail benchmarks used to assess job discrimination against protected groups. While this test is a simplified version of a typical HR workflow, it isolated names as a source of bias in GPT that could affect hiring decisions. The interviews and experiment show that using generative AI for recruiting and hiring poses a serious risk for automated discrimination at scale.

> The analysis also found that GPT’s gender and racial preferences differed depending on the particular job that a candidate was evaluated for. GPT does not consistently disfavor any one group, but will pick winners and losers depending on the context. For example, GPT seldom ranked names associated with men as the top candidate for HR and retail positions, two professions historically dominated by women. GPT was nearly twice as likely to rank names distinct to Hispanic women as the top candidate for an HR role compared to each set of resumes with names distinct to men. Bloomberg also found clear preferences when running tests with the less-widely used GPT-4 — OpenAI’s newer model that the company has promoted as less biased.
Are those walls bulletproof in the building? If that "keeps to himself" druggie lost his stash or got in a tight spot, you'd be clamoring about how the police didn't "see the signs" and act to stop the illegal activity before the stray bullet claimed innocent lives.
Talk like a graph: Encoding graphs for large language models
Back when I was working with HP-UX, GCC worked if you wanted something completely independent and didn't need to link against system libraries. For the companies I worked for when using AIX, that wasn't an option.

At least on AIX and other UNIXes, the system compiler and GCC worked together. HP-UX was a special kind of hell.

A sibling reply pointed out that developer kits and distribution deals for consoles (which are general purpose computers, regardless of how they are presented, as much as modern smartphones are) are extremely expensive (and there are no alternatives for distribution).

The point that I am making is that the idea that you can develop and distribute for free on any platform is a relatively new one.
Did you entertain the possibility that Framework might not be available at OP’s place. Because that’s very much likely to be the case, just like it’s not available to a lot of us :)

I know pretty surely that for example people in respective areas of finance are pretty interested in forecasts and will often act on them.
The koreans only drew the inbetweens for most cartoons, the storyboards and scripts were written by americans.
The lifetime of most cars a mere hundred thousand miles. If you consider that the current top-end for brakes is ~60k miles and an improvement of ~30% is possible, we're already at ~78k miles -- and this area has scarcely been invested and researched. I'll let you find sources, I've already given you the name of one of the major R&D firms.
Your negotiating power to make any app list in the any app store is approximately zero. If Facebook decides for any reason to leave, neither you nor Apple can stop them so this imagined power you think you get from Apple's App Store policies is just that.

If Apple is forced to allow FB an alternate path and FB takes that path abandoning Apple's App Store, you can blame Apple for the extortion fees in its App Store that are driving FB and others away. Had Apple not been so greedy, there wouldn't have been suits and the EC wouldn't have forced their hand, but Cook's gotta cook for shareholders and leaving even a single penny on the table would be against his commitment to them.

My grocer, who does far more for my well being than Apple, makes 2-3% store-wide markup and he still manages to invest in his store, feed himself and his family, and employ a decent sized staff on that ~2.5% -- and that's the case for most grocery stores, big and small, and we're all real good with that and have been for several decades, these people building actual buildings and gathering up the best foods the world has to offer from hundreds or even thousands of suppliers and paying people to cut open boxes and stock shelves with these amazing foods and mop the floors when we break jars of food that we never pay for he and his crew take sh*t from customers who had a bad day (who might even rob or assault them) and all for 2.5% margin while folks here, on a hacking forum of all places, simp for a walled garden that's extracting 30% from mom and pop hackers for providing what amounts to web hosting.

C'mon. Get real.
Ah, so of course you yourself, or someone you care about, would never be a guilty person, right? You would never find yourself, say, breaking a law that you didn't know about, or doing something that's technically a criminal act but seemed innocent enough at the time (the classic insider trader's lament), nor would you ever have a close family member who is charged with a serious crime. Or if you did, you would bravely accept the judgement of the court without taking exception.

You know, it would be terrible if I was found guilty of willful copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which carries "A fine of not more than $500,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both, for the first offense"[1]. If I had committed such a terrible act as torrenting seven movies, the insult to my conscience would surely move me to accept the felony penalties with civic stoicism - after such twisted malice from myself, the additional moral consequences of pleading "Not Guilty" would be too great to bear.

My going assumption is that arbitrary binary data should be in a binary format.

Feel free to correct me, but I figure that as long as data can be from 0x00 to 0xFF per byte, no format that uses characters in that range will ever be safe. I’m not a big C developer but I figure the null terminated strings have the same limitation.

But if its something entered by keyboard you should be ok to use control codes.

Personally, I find tab and return to be fine for text driven stuff. Shows up in an editor just like intented.
From what I've noticed, first class in the US is usually around 3x the price. As a big guy I'll usually swallow the bullet on cost. I really don't mind kids too much and like chatty people.
