I have always wondered why, in the world of millionaires and billionaires and yachts, why plotters like these have such ancient ugly 80s graphics. There are literally decades of UI enhancements, both functional and cosmetic, that could modernize these things. Im talking about the elite of the elite who will spare no expense at bespoke designed watches, monogram clothes, cars, etc. So it always just boggles my mind why this class of software languishes is in mediocrity.

and you would think there would be thousands of developers eager to work on something like this. Being able to actually test ride boats, and live a more adventuous lifestyle while putting their engineering skills to practice.
It was quite clear, just a bad take. If you have a coworker Bob that lies about everything at work, you can't use that as justification to treat Fred like he is always lying with no evidence.

Epic makes false statements because they have a megalomaniac CEO running the show, Apple on the other hand generally tries to avoid legal and PR troubles and has multiple teams of lawyers who review every public statement on an issue.
Another thing to note is there is pretty much nothing to do or see in Pisa besides the tower. Probably better to spend an extra day in Florence if you're in the area rather than take the trip to Pisa. Or, if you must, go to Pisa, but then pop over to Tirrenia and enjoy a half day at the beach if weather permits.
Awesome. I wonder if you could use this with a game engine or something. Maybe the aici module could render a Nethack screen. And perhaps automatically reject incorrect command keys in context if they are errors (if integrated deeply enough).

Is it possible to combine this with some kind of reinforcement training system?

I have a dresser from Target that came flat packed, and it was as nice as anything from Ikea.

Part of it was using "real screws" that screw into wood at places, instead of twist/lock fasteners or whatever those are.

Of course, if you also glue it, you get something surprisingly durable.
Maybe it's more like recycling.

Overall, there's probably a net positive in recycling in awareness alone, regardless of how much "recycled" material just goes to landfills.

And it's a way to signal socially to find like-minded people for a "safe" work environment. Instead of trying to avoid "toxic" workplaces, it's some kind of positive attribute to seek out.

That assumes that a huge percentage of the addressable market doesn’t have to choice of charging at home for a greatly reduced price.

We're not talking about the same thing. You're talking about why the dollar will be stable (and I totally agree with you there). I'm talking about why you and I can do business in dollars, and that was the origin of the discussion: bitcoins are made for people who can't trust each other. With fiat currency we still don't trust each other, but we both trust a common third-party, and have good reason to trust it, at least on the "it will be there" side.

Do you do green screen? I've had a horrible time finding a web camera that doesn't mess up the green screen by auto color correcting. It ends up putting a weird tint on the video that looks awful. Any web cam recommendations that work good with linux/obs?
Hey - don't know what part you contribute to, but thanks for the work whatever you are doing.

Eclipse has been my mainstay for ~20 years now, and while I know lots of people probably more authoritative than me will vehemently disagree, I honestly see it as one of the best pieces of software engineering ever made. The flexibility of the UI, the plugin system, incremental compile, the concept of perspectives and the overall stability delivered given how it is built - a complex ecosystem of cooperating plugins - is absolutely amazing. Now I've reached the point of making my own plugins and contributing to others my respect for it only increased.

It's definitely a complex tool and I think the vast majority of people fall over before they get over the hump of learning to use it. For more experienced users, many people still have in their head the image of Eclipse from 2007 and don't realise that it's been on a path of steady but slow linear improvement for more than a decade - another testament to the underlying engineering.
Hi, sorry, looks like the server was down because it couldn't handle the load. I am currently running a "poor man's setup", everything is on EC2 instance. I am not so big on DevOps side of things, so I have an API that does all the FFmpeg processing and the frontend calls that API. I am looking for a better way to do things and been considering Lambda functions too. I would love to hear if you have any tips on handling a long processing job like this.
No, they actually succeeded because it's still leaning. The tower was known for leaning and they wanted to preserve that famous lean while still increasing safety, which they increased.
Adding on to the other comment, multiprocessing is also kinda broken on Linux/Mac.

1. Because global objects are refcounted, CoW effectively isn't a thing on Linux. They did add a way to avoid this [0], but you have to manually call it once your main imports are done.

2. On Mac, turns out a lot of the system libs aren't actually fork-safe [1]. Since these get imported inadvertently all the time, Python on Mac actually uses `spawn` [2] -- so it's roughly as slow as on Windows.

I haven't worked in Python in a couple years, but handling concurrency while supporting the major OSes was a goddamn mess and a half.

There is no member of the lisp family that treats quotation as a first class citizen of the language. Granted, lisp is one of the few language families where it's even a part of the language but it's at best an afterthought, which is why you need macros to manipulate unquoted expressions.

Oh boy, this reminds me of the good (not-so-)old times! Some years ago I was writing embedded C for Atmel AVR32 chips, and needed them to do several things "at the same time".

Started from learning about Protothreads (cooperative concurrency) as described by Adam Dunkels [1], and ended up devising a Task manager/runner library with a main loop, so multiple protothreads could be scheduled easily. At any given point in time, any of the scheduled tasks could be running or yielding on some continuation point.

There's some beauty in grasping these concepts from the ground up. Some time later I had to learn JavaScript, and the concept of async/await clicked so fast and nicely in my mind. Saving distances, the core idea is fundamentally the same, and that was enlightening (and fun!)

I highly doubt those 80% were working on ideological stuff. It's common in big tech companies to have too many cooks in the kitchen, and because the design process and tech stack tends to mimic an org chart, stuff gets semi-permanently more complicated as a result. There are also some teams doing projects/research that wouldn't normally make a lot of sense, but the interest rates were so low at times that companies had to stretch to do more random things.

Sometimes after a change of ownership, they cut whatever they consider fat. This is Broadcom's strategy for example, acquire and cut.
Apartment buildings get handled in a business-like manner, but are also apartments (which have downsides for the renters).

My theory is that single family homes get rented below what it costs to rent them and the landlords make it up via appreciation.

It's pretty obvious that there are places like this, where the rental prices are substantially below 1% of the purchase price (one of the "rule of thumbs").
The only way to deal with this is to not pay. There is no guarantee they’ll not ask for more in 6 months. Accept that you did something wrong and deal with the consequences

We freeze our stock in 1 cup portions. Makes it very easy to keep tabs on what you have, and you just throw the ice in when you need stock. I find that it does not lose any flavor, really at all.

In the freezer it lasts, essentially, forever.

> If you want to spawn +10-20 threads in a process, it can quickly become way slower than running a single thread.

as you know thats mostly threads in general. Any optimisation has a drawback so you need to choose wisely.

I once made a horror of a thing that synced S3 with another S3, but not quite object store. I needed to move millions of files, but on the S3 like store every metadata operation took 3 seconds.

So I started with async (pro tip: its never a good idea to use async. its basically gotos with two dimensions of surprise: 1 when the function returns, 2 when you get an exception ) I then moved to threads, which got a tiny bit extra performance, but much easier debugability. Then I moved to multiprocess pools of threads (fuck yeah super fast) but then I started hitting network IO limits.

So then I busted out to airflow like system with operators spawning 10 processes with 500 threads.

it wasnt very memory efficient, but it moved many thousands of files a second.

> I agree with a lot of comments that it's minimal, but in my opinion that is a good thing

The purpose of a spec is to specify, and if you don’t specify and leave things open to interpretation, then that completely defeats the purpose.

Anybody who’s worked with a poorly defined spec knows exactly how bad this can be. A good example would be the shambles that is the HL7 spec used in healthcare.

A former colleague had a phrase for this: “once you’ve seen one HL7 message… you’ve seen one HL7 message”. Which really highlights the issue of a standard that’s open to interpretation.

The issues raised (in the comments here) seem to hint at a lack of specificity. That is something that they should really look at improving.

I think overall any group that tries to come up with a standard that can unify a field should be lauded and supported. But perhaps calling this a 0.1 release, and taking the feedback on board, would be the best way forward.
Percentages are rarely informative without an absolute reference.

Thoughts on Threat Modeling – Staaldraad
The Google Search API was one of the first big Web 2.0 examples of an API. Basically every big colorful "how to do APIs" or "learn JavaScript" book in Barnes and Nobles used the Google Search API as their main example of what an API was and how useful it was until 2011 or so, when Google started turning it down.
No I don't think you understand: before that kitchens generally looked very different and were much more dysfunctional. The reason you don't find it very spectacular from a 2024 perspective is because that kitchen design was so successful it changed how kitchens looked after it. So you will certainly find better (but also worse) kitchens today, but that kitchen design had a ton of impact on how things are looking today.

Before that the typical kitchen furniture were single freestanding objects, like this stove: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Fr...

But it is more than surface, Schütte-Lihotzky went and measured how long certain tasks were taking and optimized the layout and objects of the kitchen to minimize the waste of time, aomething that before that wasn't really a thing in residential kitchens.

No. I am pointing out the irony of the situation that if we were cruel enough to test the effects of these chemicals on a select few humans that it would have prevented humans worldwide from suffering under the cruelty of an untold multitude of side effects, but our own sense of ethics and justice prevented us from doing the thing that created the least total amount of suffering and cruelty.

That being said, I would still not advocate for human testing of chemicals and products, not even for death row inmates because there are too many things people would want to test and there is no bottom once we start going down that slide.

However, I would advocate for digital human simulacra that we could test the effects of chemicals on rather than any living creature. I hope that in the near future we could make a virtual human that we can carry out these tests on at many times normal speed so we can solve these things once and for all.

> but Go + C, Java + JNI, Rust, and C++ all seem like more suitable solutions.

apart from go (maybe java) those are all "scary" languages that require a bunch of engineering to get to the point that you can prototype.

even then you can normally pybind the bits that are compute bound.

If Microsoft had been better back in the say, then c# should have been the goto language of choice. It has the best tradeoff of speed/handholding/rapid prototyping. Its also statically typed, unless you tell it to not be.
Not at the moment, but I do recall he has a chapter on this in his book “The Art of Doing Science and Engineering”, which I also recommend. He uses very long transmission lines to explain this, but the same thing applies at the nano scale, and perhaps to an even greater extent due to the much noisier environment and higher frequencies.
