I _love_ the design!

A couple things I love from the recipe app I use (cookbook), which you could steal:

- Clicking on a step or an ingredient strikes it through
- on larger screens (eg tablet), it’s a horizontal split screen between ingredients and steps
- automated conversion between imperial/metric.
- Could go even further with unit conversion for common ingredients (what the hell does a _cup_ of butter mean, it’s not a freakin liquid why would you use a volume unit, give me goddamn weight) and tips (volume of salt is very different depending on what salt you use)
The hospitals would have shut down without it, so it was rubber-stamped as "let's not bail out the hospitals". If the monopoly functioned, there would be no issue.
Thanks. Heard the terms somewhere recent in that awkward usage “built in back pressure” and was suitably confused
The line we (Johnson City) were sold is that these hospitals would have gone out of business if they didn't consolidate.

Pet theory: That's also related to the burst of autonomous-vehicle investment over the last decade: Investors spurred by the idea that the baby-boom generation will simultaneously (A) be unable to drive themselves and (B) will have enough wealth to afford fancy cars that cater to that need.

I don't think related companies have to hit that opportunity-window to be profitable, but I think it factored into when/why some of them were founded or pivoted.

What's worse, is that a threaded conversation starts to get very skinny and look like an argument, so even if you do have one, it doesn't look good.

When I was visiting Dallas a few years ago an Uber driver brought up Texas sized hail. Apparently it is a thing and is frequent enough to be something locals make chit chat about, at least in parts of the state.

P.S. you get the weirdest Uber drivers in Dallas, or at least I have. These have included a Bitcoin bro who showed me his Alcor cryonics bracelet (instructing them on how to freeze him if he dies) and someone talking about the Illuminati and their influence over hip hop music. Both got five stars and a good tip. I pay extra for that stuff.
To your last point - sailboats move in response to the sum of the forces on them. Most sloops are designed to make it easy to balance the forces of the jib and the main, so that the center of effort is near the center of mass. If the sails are trimmed in this fashion you need very little rudder input - in fact it is easy to steer the sailboat with just the sails, if they are well trimmed.t If you let the jib a little out of trim, the force it imparts on the boat will decrease, and since the force on the main is constant, you’ll turn to windward. Likewise you can ease the main to turn to leeward if the sails are balanced and the rudder neutral. Handy trick if your rudder gets damaged.

An interesting note is that well-designed sailboats are designed to round up in the case where the headsail gets overpowered. As the sail gets overpowered, the boat will naturally try to turn away from the wind and also will heel further. The heeling of the boat will cause the headsail to lose lift and spill air before the main sail does, and the keel, which normally generates lift and drag to counter sideslip, combined with the now-more-powered mainsail, Generate a strong leeward yawing force aft of the center of mass which causes the boat to turn sharply into the wind. Rounding up only happens when you are losing control of the boat so turning into the wind ends up putting you in a safe mode where you can recover. There are a few boats out there where the keel is too far forward and/or the main spills air before the headsail; these boats round down in uncontrolled situations and can jibe unexpectedly – very dangerous.
Does this have any actual implications short of hinting at a physical phenomenon not yet understood?

Calling it just "a car" seems disingenuous. My post mentioned a Tesla, which is a luxury expense the average Dutch person is not able to afford.

The whole point was to make a clear distinction between the working-class farmer and the mega-rich, evil factory farmer. The latter loves to act like they are the former.
Barbara Kingsolver's book "Demon Copperhead" is a gut punch of a look at the degree to which Appalachia has gotten fucked over over the years, and is also just an absolutely fantastic novel with some of the most beautiful writing I've read in years:

In a decade of that income one could own a house (or 3) in a different town or state, fly in once a week to live in a typical apartment rental someone making 50k-70k might rent, and still have money left over for a boat or whatever else. Absurd to say someone isn't objectively rich making $400k.

Since voice-to-text has gotten so good I've used it a lot more and also noticed how distracting and confusing it can be. Using Apple's dictation has a similar feel to this where you're constantly seeing something that's changing on the screen. It's kind of irritating and I don't really know what the solution is.

One suggestion I have here is to have at least two different sections of the UI. One part would be the actual document and the other would be the scratchpad. It seems like much of what you say would not actually make it into the document (edits, corrections, etc) so those would only be shown in the scratchpad. Once the editor has processed the text from the scratchpad then it can go into the document how it's supposed to. Having text immediately show up in the document as it's dictated is weird.

Your big challenge right now is just that STT is still relatively slow for this usecase. Time will be on your side in that regard as I'm sure you know.

Good luck! Voice is the future of a lot of the interactions we have with computers.
So true, today I was trying to decide whether to use Google's Vertex vector search in a project - until I remembered Google's track record with pulling the rug on services. Made it an easy "no".
Is it feasible to run large ships on autopilot? Large airliners land mostly on autopilot now, right?

Seems like a somewhat solvable problem to combine a bunch of sensor inputs to keep the ship inside of a safe corridor, such that even a loss of power would be accounted for to ensure it would drift safely.

Is it a much harder problem than my intuition assumes? Cost issue?

That's a pretty cynical take. Meta deployed Facebook at enormous scale as in many thousands of MySQL servers.

Ejection seats are a use case noche unique to military flying where the pilot is A) the most irreplaceable piece in terms of warfighting, and B) injury of the pilot in the escape attempt is considered an acceptable tradeoff.

If you really want chills, think about this: a conscious decision was made with covil aviation that it was more economically feasible to sacrifice the human lives on board, and resolve the rest through lawsuits.

In short: if you know/are critical to the process of murdering extra-natiomals, you warrant a life saving device.

We're not doing waterfall, but we're going to plan out every little detail of a change into small parts and plan out how many sprints it should take to do them all and split that work across the team so that you are always relying on someone else's work or somebody is waiting on you to start something.
In case anyone is interested, I wrote an async/await stream library for JavaScript/Node.js which supports backpressure management. It's heavily tested and used as part of SocketCluster (pub/sub SDK) https://socketcluster.io/ which is also heavily tested.
The Apple M-Series GoFetch Attack [video]
I've been using it in lieu Docker Desktop for Mac for the past year and it mostly works, but I do hit issues and have to debug them.

- Several issues with non-native containers which are commonly encountered on Apple Silicon Macs: multi-platform containers start much slower, sudo commands in non-native containers don't work, the TARGETARCH variable was set wrong (fixed), the Docker API implementation didn't pay attention to the specified platform (fixed).

- The daemon that creates docker.sock so you can use the Docker CLI doesn't clean up after itself if you uninstall, and this breaks Docker Desktop if you want to switch back (say, to investigate one of these incompatibilities).

- Host directories you want to mount into containers need to be configured when the machine VM is created.

- The machine VM defaults to using an unstable image, which completely broke in September 2023 for a few days.

The early reports suggest that the ship was having trouble actively maintaining position - some have theorized a stuck rudder or wind pressure – in which case the only thing an autopilot could do is make the situation worse. I’d wait for the full investigation to come out before speculating about fixes.
"pueue follow <task_id>" lets you see stdout or stderror of the specified task.

If one enqueues a single chain of tasks (no parallel tasks), is there a way to monitor stdout or stderror for the chain, without having to issue the follow command for each task at the time the task starts to run? This would provide better observability of what is running, as in a shell script with the tasks sequentially listed.
It's fairly loose - you can shave a month or two off and/or stretch the definition of 'major rework' a bit but 3 months and typical updates is probably too close.
Just a suggestion — maybe do not try to change my mood. Just give me what I want. So try to take an input where I have all the tools and freedom to be able to give a textual input i.e. a query string that will bring out the books I would want to read. Some examples from my perspective: “books that share a similar ending and bleakness of Farewell to Arms”, “something non-poetic but as if it was written my Emily Dickinson”. Something like that.
Battle testing ZFS, Btrfs and mdadm+dm-integrity (2020)
I think it is funny that both were wrong. 2D games are still very much being developed and released today, and many outsell 3D games, even AAA 3D games.

People beat Sega up back then, and also now, but I do not think their hardware was that bad. The pricing was a huge issue.

If I were them, I would have NOT released the 32X as a standalone, NOT released the Saturn, and instead focus on a fusion of the two into a standalone cartridge based system. For everything people criticized the Saturn for, the cartridges made it work. The N64 showed off the advantage of using a cartridge over a CD based system.

If I were going to release a non-portable gaming system today, I'd build one around cartridges that are PCIE 5.0 x4 based and design it so that a) you can quickly shut off the system and replace the game rather than digging through ads/clunky ui/launcher. b) access and latency times are fast c) the hardware is potentially extendable in many different ways.

However, I actually liked the 32x and it's games. Maybe that is because I got the 32x on clearance at walmart for $10 and the games for $1-$2 each, or maybe it was because many of the games were fun and were a genuine upgrade over my 16 bit systems.

I don't think the Saturn was bad, but it was overpriced for the time and definitely rushed.

I DO think this rush to make consoles require an internet connection has left a sizable hole in the market, a hole that nintendo is only half filling. Offline gaming is a thing, and just because a console CAN be connected to the internet, doesn't mean it should be. I've been fantasizing about making one in the future. Something that is kind of like the old Steam Machine, but with the aspects I have mentioned. Maybe one day I will. For me it won't be about success, but rather about building something cool.

Anyways, I'm rambling. Have a great night.
So since you’ve never heard of it, it’s not a thing?

Check out reactive streaming tech like Akka, they’ve been talking about this for well over a decade now, using exactly this language.
I realized that we provide an option called "Flatten PDF" [1] which does exactly what you described: flatten everything including text into a big image per page. It makes all text unselectable and also produces a very large file.

This feature was introduced for printing consistency as PDF viewers and print drivers may render things differently. But I don't think it's selected by default, so users have to consciously tick it to make it happen.

But it seems that our support team sometimes presents this feature as a way to solve user issues, so maybe that's the reason.

Technical standards, classes, testing procedures did not always exist for bolts either.
For some classes of software I think one could create equivalent levels of standardization, if anyone would care enough. Having a standardized test suite would be a key component of that. I think that a YAML parsing library would be among the better candidates for this.

Looking forward to this. My guess though will be that only methods that require a "subscription" will see the light of day. As in, things that require repeated applications, life long medication etc.
It sure looks like the city streets and the port at one time were intended to accommodate over 100x the vehicular traffic than there was that day.

Maybe 1000x the pedestrians.

To some this would be like heaven, a good sized city with no traffic and no congestion.

OTOH it does look like a ghost town of some kind.

Or maybe a special occasion where almost nobody is out and about for some reason.

It was! The whole book plays a lot with various types of consciousness. Although that was a bit of a spoiler, so out of respect I'll give a somewhat obfuscated link and just say if you're reading something by Alastair Reynolds right now you should consider that before following the link:

I love it when someone shares an idea that I wouldn't have considered (which is on me) and so clearly solves a real problem.
Sutter Health is my local hospital monopoly. They're the only reason that Sacramento is the most expensive place in the country to have a baby. And the quality isn't exactly high. I know someone who just had knee replacement surgery and they were sent home a few hours after their surgery. When my grandpa had the same surgery in the 90s, they had him stay for a few days to recover. Now they just want to churn and burn their 'customers'. In addition, my wife after giving birth was only allowed to stay the bare minimum. It's shockingly gross how we've commoditized access to healthcare into this assembly line style racket. Contrast to Europe, when I hit my head on a train and needed stitched, I got a free ambulance to their ER where two nurses and a doctor immediately stitched me up for less than 40 EUR and was given world class care. We're doing something wrong in America when we pay the most extreme prices for the most basic care. We're getting gouged so executives can line their pockets. We should be rioting but we all just accept it. And it's not like Obamacare or Biden have done a single thing to change things. Obamacare just forced everyone to buy insurance... it didn't really change the fact that when you go to use it you get crappy care. And even when you go to a place like UCSF, the quality of care isn't that great. They put my wife's IUD in wrong and we ended up with a second kid. Healthcare in America is shit quality.
The important point here is that it’s a tactic by Assange. He could at any time move this process forward.

Funny enough it’s likely a tactic that works! He’s likely to end up not doing any US time!

The critical limit with fungi, and other single cell protein foods, is the high amount of nucleic acid, which are converted into purines and then uric acid. The products have to undergo additional processing to reduce these levels before they can be consumed.
I do not presume to know your dietary habits, but I find it interesting that only ~4% of US beef production is "grass fed" yet everyone claims to be only eating beef grazed on semi-arable land using regenerative agriculture.

"they graze on semi-arable areas where crops can't be grown"

That may or may not be where your steak comes from, but it is not, as a rule, where most steak comes from. Most steaks come from cattle started on grass and finished on corn, and an increasing amount come from cattle who graze on Brazilian rainforest land clear-cut just for that purpose.

How does this work with standard thread-per-core architectures used in high-performance systems? Sharing state with a GC thread defeats the entire purpose even if you had a dedicated GC thread for each working core to reduce contention, since the entire point is to all but eliminate atomics and cache coherency overhead.

This doesn't address the issue with GCs in high-performance systems, it just turns it into a different kind of problem.
What would "leave alone" even be? There's no "default" state of performance of Java code; it would be ridiculously stupid for there to be something saying that, say, "a+b" for int type values has to take at least 1 nanosecond or something. And you can't use big O complexity here either - the int type has a maximum of 2 billion, and thus a loop over it is trivially O(1), just with a potentially-big constant factor. (or, alternatively, the loop was sped up by a constant factor of 2 billion, and optimizing compilers should extremely obviously be allowed to optimize code by a constant factor)
Unfortunately, these aren’t edge cases, they’re common cases. Courts tend to rule based on spherical cows. The reality of family law is incredible messy, judges have incredible levels of discretion, and any real fact-finding is not practical in almost all cases. It’s almost always unfair, it just comes down to how much and to who.

In the example given, you can go back the court, usually, and have it corrected to reflect reality if you’ve carefully documented it and the judge’s whims are with you that day, but even getting the court date could be months or years out and of course most people don’t have the confidence or knowledge to do this without a lawyer, which will be at least a few grand and which they’ll see as a lot of money to spend on a gamble that could make things worse for them.
They just wanted to close the ticket.

> how much of C ethos can be boiled down to

A lot of commercial code is like this, regardless of the language; there just happen to be people trying to sell new languages. They desperately want to convince you that this is all the fault of C and it's nebulous "ethos," and if you just use their new language, it will all magically go away and possibly improve human rights somehow.
It’s hard to say if RFK will steal more votes from Biden or from Trump. The antivax crowd is pretty solidly Trump since he basically brought the new age into the Republican Party.

My personal dumb take is that Trump was our first New Age president. He basically believes in The Secret and grew up in some radical think and grow rich preacher’s church. Makes the Yoga to Qanon pipeline make way more sense.

Much more nuanced, thank you! For one thing, you need a language to bootstrap your environment in dev envs and CI. You wouldn't want to write a Python script which has to support a bunch of minor versions (with vastly different capabilities) just to run `poetry install`.
