I managed to subscribe at a really good annual rate vs. list through some online aggregator, where they pre-warn me of renewal and rate changes to let me cancel if I want. I don’t remember what it was without searching my email, so not shilling for them in any way, but there are methods.

That said, yeah-no one can reasonably afford the constant “I just want to read this one linked article twice a year on your local community news” turning into “subscribe for $120 a year after $1 for your first month”, and we really need some middle ground.

Unfortunately, people have an aversion-a hard aversion-to anything that’s not “zero” or “fixed”. I discovered it with Kagi, for example-despite whatever number of searches you find yourself actually running, having only “x per month” means you have to think about it, until you’re just like “pay the unlimited price and put the cost of thinking about it on them”.

Maybe with news the best way would be some kind of micro transaction, but all attempts so far have failed…
Eh, depends on the time frame for ROI. Long term I think it's better ROI to go Linux native, but short term it's not, hence my labelling of 'lazy'.
You can put that nor flash into byte mode, saving you 8 data lines in exchange for an extra address line.

You can also throw a shift register in to increase the number of GPIOs.
I play the devil's advocate on this issue. Cell phones are emblematic of social connectedness. How could a socialite survive without one? It's so intuitive that it's cargo-cultish; the younger you get a cellphone, the more you superficially resemble a socialite.
Sorry, my writing isn't as good or clear as I wish: my beef is with the mystique around LSD opening "the gates of reality" - extraordinary,above normal claims. That's why getting from a rut to mediocre when you were once great is not what I had in mind.

Let's be honest: if people have been talking so much about LSD for so long, it is not as an aid to get back to mediocre.
Mine has worked flawlessly for about a year. A few months ago, it’s become horribly janky and I can’t figure out why.

When standard channels aren't working, complain to someone who can do something about it.

A couple of times in my life, I've had good luck contacting the office of Chairpman of the Board. I had problem with a debt collector of American Express, I was a financial delinquent in those days, and I contacted American Express directly. I asked for the Chairman of the Board's office, and talked to his assistant. I explained the situation about how I was being lied to by the debt collector, the assistant arranged to have the debt recalled to American Express, and I worked w/ Amex directly after that.

Another time, also w/ Amex, my friend's consulting invoice wasn't being paid my Amex in a timely manner. I recommended she contact them using the same approach, and an assistant helped her get paid.

More recently, I had a problem getting my tax return processed with the Internal Revenue Service. I complained to my Congressman, his office put me in touch with a tax advocate at the IRS, and everything was cleared up. This is the second time I needed to do this.

I don't follow how threads are hard to cancel.

Set some state (like a flag) that all threads have access to.

In their work loop, they check this flag. If it's false, they return instead and the thread is joined. Done.
I think the automotive chip shortage actually shows the opposite of what you think it does. The industry largely shut down, a global pandemic causing massive shipping issues for a huge range of components hitting a complex industry focused on just in time supply chains and complex logistics combined with poor forecasting of demand resulted in a 12% reduction in output over a year. Which then quickly caught back up.

That’s so wildly far from catastrophe it’s laughable, economic swings frequently have larger impacts on car sales. The pandemic hurt the automobile industry less than several others, companies didn’t fail, and things quickly caught back up.

So yes disruptions mean a temporary reduction in output and possibly a significant period catching up, but suggesting it would take an industry years to deal with X issue just doesn’t line up with how companies actually behave.
> How is the search engine going to find a page that doesn't exist, isn't in a sitemap, isn't linked to in any nav anchors, in order to index it?

If links are never going to be used, there is no point in doing the effort of client side routing.

If links are going to used, the server needs to respond with the correct status or you break the assumptions upon which the tools people use to access the web are based.
A browser is one of the most consequential attack surfaces in the lives of billions of people. Redis isn't. Having proofs where said proofs don't matter much in the first place is not a particularly good use of our time. And FWIW, the correctness specs for Redis would be pretty intractable too.

Do you happen to know what "Total Manufacturing" means in practice? I can't figure out what that series is measuring. It seems to be OECD data of some sort, but it doesn't have enough context to interpret.

One of the problems with US manufacturing is that it can be equal by, say, amount of money spent but get much worse productivity than Asia. And I'd believe it is a sophisticated method that accounts for that somehow, but I want to check it.
> Pretty much every mammal has the same built in sense that you do, and yet none of them are carting around human intelligence

Having a sense of what are facts and what are assumptions doesn't mean you are smart, but not having it means you are pretty dumb. LLMs doesn't have that.

Natural language is more powerful than programming languages since it lets us communicate assumptions, guesses, uncertainty etc, to other intelligent beings. So a good LLM needs to be able to consider certainty level of statements and act accordingly, todays LLMs doesn't do that so generate dumber responses than a human would since they lack a sanity checker.
The next election has to come pretty briskly tho, and the "no majority" should creep downward some number of percentage points in each round. Otherwise you might get stuck in a local minimum.
A quote from your link:

> programmers are strongly encouraged to use appropriate synchronization to avoid data races

Any time you need to "encourage" programmers to do the right thing, you have already failed in your language design.

And I think OP agrees with me here. OP says "static checking of correct synchronization" which is irresponsibly absent from Go.
Agreed, my best guess it's due to a smaller MTU between the CDN and your device. They are probably replying with TLS Server Hello which would typically max a standard 1500 byte packet. It's also likely why HTTP isn't working either since they would ACK the connection, you would probably be able to issue the GET / but you would never get a response back due to the HTTP response payload being larger than a single packet.

A few ideas to test this theory:
1) Find an asset on their server that is smaller than 500-1000 bytes so the entire payload will fit in a packet. Maybe a HEAD would work?
2) Clamp your MSS on this IP to something much smaller like 500 instead of the standard 1460. This should force the server to send smaller packets and will work better in practice than changing your MTU. See: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.cookbook.mtu-...
Interesting idea!

I've been wondering about microdosing myself, since for some reason LSD helps me do showers and other chores that I usually have problems with due to ADHD. I don't know why, though.

What microdosing schedule do you use?
What I talk about is blocking of limited resources. Processes/connections are expensive and therefore you want/have to limit the max amount of them. Each query/transaction requires its own process and blocks it for everyone else until it is done.

I/O or compute constraints are another issue, if your CPU or disc is already saturated you get probably no additional benefit.

But if you wait for something (locks, I/O) the connection/process can't do other things. High latency between app/database and long running transactions can also use up your available processes, even if they don't consume a lot of CPU or I/O or fight for the same locks.

Lock contention is its own problem, but makes the blocking of processes/connections worse.
Looks neat, but what happens if a JSON key has a value like "foo.bar" or "foo[0]", etc. Does the textual response escape them?

It is a little weird how Mozilla doesn't advertise Firefox, isn't it? At least I've never seen them sponsoring anything, nor any ads. (50% of my browsing is without adblock, so I should have seen them if they exist. But maybe they do?)

Like 1M/yr spent on sponsoring 1000 videos by top tech youtubers is nothing when they have 600M/yr revenue and it would bring in a massive audience.

It's as if they're content with coasting and/or chasing even lower single digit market share?

> I've resorted to making an "actual_requirements.txt" file manually listing only direct dependencies and whatever version constraints make sense.

Pip-tools has an elegant solution for this. You write an requirements.in where you list packages and optionally versions, then pip-compile turns that into a requirements.txt with every package including dependencies specified by versions. You can use it to update specific packages as well.

> Suspending a driver's license because of debt is an absolutely bone-headed idea

If the car has to be re-possessed, it's unfair to let the person keep using the vehicle (and perhaps even destroy the vehicle). Now whatever financing created the debt might have originally been predatory, but that's a separate study (probably badly needed!). Nevertheless, debt collection just wants an extra reason for a cop to pull somebody over and enforce the debt.
You don't model an unconstrained "int Mid = high + low / 2;" line of e.g. C code with the math equation "Mid = high + low / 2". There are limits but this is a poor example.
I've always wondered about the accuracy of the book, in part because the junior samurai kill themselves a LOT. They're forced to commit seppuku for being late to their work in the morning. There's a scene where a samurai jumps off a cliff to his death just get his boss's attention (I guess yelling would have been rude).

Also ninjas are depicted as super-powerful badasses. Which fits the legend, certainly, but isn't particularly realistic.

This collection doesn't address those criticisms -- it's more of a literary analysis than a set of fact checks. But I'd still like to know.
> Re-reading, I notice the article doesn't state the source of the debt. If it's unpaid traffic tickets, then I do think it makes sense to suspend the license, but an afternoon of traffic school should suffice for most moving violations. If it's unpaid taxes, hell no.

When I was younger, I was working three jobs to keep my head above water. I got a speeding ticket and forgot to pay it. My license was suspended. I had to not only pay the fine but to pay to reinstate my license. I could only afford to pay in installments to reinstate my license. I missed one payment and my license was suspended yet again. This is a trap that now seems crazy I could have ever fallen into, but it is a vicious cycle.

Right, but, pay by wire to settle what Meta thinks is outstanding, and then initiate the chargeback process. At least during the pendency of that process, you’ll have that wire transfer documentation that seems to be the only thing Meta can comprehend, and you can (hopefully, fingers crossed, get back up and running).

I get that there’s a real risk here that you could wind up out another $40k at the end of the day and your problem still isn’t solved, but if losing access to the Meta market is as fundamental a risk to the business as I took away from the post, then it seems to me like job one is to ensure that the business survives and that the (admittedly unpleasant) process of getting trued-up on the $40k is exactly the kind of thing that your lawyer is for.
I would pay more for the PSU, but I would also call the hard drive a delicate problem baby and give it a 3 out of 5 review.
I can easily write a specification for a function that says: given input integer n (n>2) return a vector of integer values (a, b, c) such that a^n + b^n = c^n or return an error if no such value exists. I invite you to write a concise unit test of the implementation of said function!

I have worked on the "soft" side of embedded for some time, and by that I mean Linux on ARM SoC systems. That transition came about while I was at Google, and was able to transfer out of ads and onto various consumer hardware teams. And was concurrent with a personal interest in hobby electronics, microcontrollers, FPGAs, retro computing etc. I worked on the Nest Home Hub and some other similar things at Google.

These days I work on some systems for autonomous agriculture, which is mostly in Rust, and again Linux on ARM SBC type work.

Really, I wouldn't say I'm an expert in embeddedd; I'm no EE, and while I've played with board layout I'd never trust me to build hardware :-) And I've never been the person doing initial board bring-up, though that could be fun. So, again, generalist with a lower-level systems interest/focus.

Anyways the transition happened roughly on that path. With a zig-zag over to database internals for a bit which was also very cool. FWIW I've been a software developer in some form for about 25 years now. Maybe more depending on how you define it.

I'd say embedded is a bit of a trap and a mixed bag career wise though. Others here have made this observation before: EEs are in my opinion underpaid, and work adjacent to EE suffers from the same problem. It's a bit like gamedev, people like to do the work which I think increases competition for jobs? Something like that.

(That said I'm happy with my compensation right now)

(Also even the ads side at Google was a bit systems-y; realtime bidding, low latency, all in C++, a bit of mixture of high and low-level.)
You'd need someone willing to actually buy the cryptocurrency generated from nothing on the other side of that transaction.
> That is an LLM's "pen and paper".

No, that's an LLM's Python playground.

An LLM's "pen and paper" is "think step by step" where it gets to see it's own output to keep track of what it is doing.

I'd expect that with appropriate prompting one could get a good model to one/few-shot learn how to do addition this way.
Yeah, supply issues like lethal substitutes could probably be heavily reduced by making it available at drug stores or whatever. If it's legal and regulated then you won't have to fear getting NBOMe or something in place of real LSD.

That's an interesting possibility to think about. What do you think they could have done that involved hardware?

I know Symbolics had coprocessor boards that used their existing architectures, but stuck it on a NuBus and plugged into old Macs to run Genera in a window.

Perhaps they could have stuck with that: I could see SGI workstations with Symbolics coprocessor boards leveraging the foothold they had in 3D graphics and animation, for example. Or a RAD development environment for technical computing on NeXT computers offloading hard symbolic computations as needed, since NeXT had high-end RAD as their selling point.
Or hook up a counter (reset + clock signal, that's 2 gpio's), and feed counter output to address lines.

If you're really short on gpio's, you could do the same with the data outputs (use some parallel in, serial out shift register, or a multiplexer that selects which data bit(s) to read).

Yes, you've happened upon a common trend with new tech. Everyone wants to use their shiny new hammer, some, only know the shiny new hammer, and the wise among them know to just stick to the nails.

> If it's unpaid traffic tickets, then I do think it makes sense to suspend the license

No, it still doesn't. Modern societies have a kink for adding requirements for basic survival, but at the same time decreeing those same things "privileges, not rights" so that they can deny them with minimum oversight.

On places people have no other ways to move around, this is a human rights violation. Nothing less. (And yes, people should have options, that doesn't mean you can just say that out loud and take people's rights away. You have to do something if you want to use that claim.)
Rust's futures also get this through being poll-based. You cancel a future by dropping it. Futures compose really easily, so you can combine a bunch of futures in interesting trees of selects and joins and any that are not completed get cleaned up automatically and with little/no overhead when they go out of scope / when the task they're a part of completes. You don't think about them like separate chunks of work, you just think about them like types you can await on and yield a value, and the compiler flattens it all out into a state machine. All of the sync and composition combinators are implemented just in the traits/types of the tokio/futures libraries because the poll/waker abstraction is low level and versatile enough. As long as you don't go out of your way to write bad async code, there's no leaks for the same reasons there's no leaks in Rust code.

It feels a lot like the monadic composition of Haskell even if the means it achieves it are very different.
