>>> The question for many 20-somethings now is: When will society expect me to adhere to the laws of grammar?

Grammar has laws?

You're going to hate me for this, but I skipped that apostrophe. It's dying too. And the caps is only because Im at a real keyboard. if i skip the caps are you unable to understand what im writing? It was clear... you dont say.

For as much as people want grammar to have laws, or rules it's tragically just a social construct that is only held together by consensus. The Oxford comma is dead, the word embiggen is from a cartoon and in the dictionary. Latin, is still a dead language with no word for computer, or means to convey programing idioms.

Ye ole grammar and spelling pedants a holding us all down ;)
I know about geolocation by IP address. But as I mentioned, geolocation based on my previous ISPs IPs were never this fine-grained. What could my current ISP be doing different from these other ISPs?
Curiously I have a Canon 50mm f/1.2L USM at work and a old Zeiss f/1.4 Planar T* — a Contax lwnse with a cheap EF adapter — and the old Zeiss lens knocked the new lense out of the park on anything. Pictures looked just better on it period.

The old lense has no AF, but I rarely use AF anyways.

IMHO that likely because our culture changed long ago and loyalty in general is worth less and even considered stupid when there are options.

Naturally this reflects onto businesses, which of course are made and run by people. Loyalty to employees and vice versa is gone in favour of getting the better deal.

Senior leadership will word it more diplomatically; but that is the only mindset that makes sense for them. Once you have the power to choose to add or remove resources from a project it doesn't make sense to interact with the company in any way other than transacting skills and time for money. Except people with substantial equity stakes, for obvious reasons. One of the tells of a high-performing management culture is everyone can do their job in working hours with the skills that they have formal training in.

There are exceptions where you sometimes get workaholics in high places, especially founders. That can be an advantage or a disadvantage; I've seen at least one founder destroy their own business because they couldn't stop coding, get a regular 8 hours sleep and switch off from time to time. One of the paths from sleep deprivation leads to a rolling crisis and eventual company collapse. They didn't understand that a boundary between work and not-work is necessary for high performance management to happen.
Very competitively efficient, but you don't need 932F for greenhouses?

Passive, Net Zero, Carbon Sink solar geothermal half-buried greenhouse that produces citrus in the winter at a colder northern latitude

Geothermal air with 6" tubes, 8ft down, out 230ft (753) into the yard, blower, reflective sheeting on the south sloped back wall; est $25k build cost. 30F interval with no fans on in the winter. ;

Net zero greenhouses probably win UN SDG Indicator 13.2.2 Total greenhouse gas emissions per year; UN SDG Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

A New Zealand word for an [excavated] [semi-] underground greenhouse is "Walipini".

FWIU from YouTube, there's a new style of Northern Chinese greenhouse now in Canada: they build a big wall of clay/soil on one long side and lower a blanket over the entire greenhouse with a TODO HP motor in the evening to keep heat in the greenhouse at night. The wing shape makes it's easy to capture rainwater in a trough on just the one side.

Geodesic domes are very resilient, easy to assemble, and can also be semi-underground with vents at the top to actuate.

An aquarium heater can heat a tank of water to heat an arctic greenhouse.

Geodesic domes get so hot in the summer that it's necessary to hang cloth to shade and cool.

Also learned from YT South Korea: (JADAM JWA (Castille Soap) AND,) long stone seat and table fireboxes for greenhouse heat; but wood-burning has combustion byproducts so e.g. solar + wind electric (if geothermal is not feasible).

New EPA rules specify emissions limits for full-time wood-burning stoves; and so currently basically only Reburning and Catalytic Combustor stoves are legal in the US.

IDK what the effective $ per kWh is for solar and pumped air geothermal greenhouses?

Looks like there is at least one sand battery + hot water heater product to compete with heat pump water heaters that could also be sand (or gravel) batteries.

Multi-source heat pumps typically have an electric heat strip for very cold weather, and post-halving mining rigs also produce waste heat.

Apparently one can heat a pool (or a greenhouse water tank) with immersion mining rigs, but is there a sustainable fluid for industrial immersion cooling?

Agricultural Bunds (and buried unglazed water vessels) would probably work in NM, too; but which agricultural resources can process bunds instead of rows?
What do you mean by "terrorism", exactly?

Yeah, possibly. In the West Bank militia groups have been fighting PA forces recently due to them harassing and killing militia men and generally assisting the IDF in the occupation. After the 2006 election the PA tried to oust Hamas from the Gaza strip and got violently expelled.

On the other hand, over the decades since 2006 Hamas has co-existed with lots of political movements in the Gaza strip and helped make sure their militias continued recruiting and exercising. It has been a politically repressive environment for sure, in large part because you can't survive as a political movement under occupation without developing a serious paranoia.
It has mostly to do with the extremely tight requirements. For instance nowadays the hashmap is the single most popular datastructure but it's rather memory intense compared to plain arrays (even when implemented via a backing array). Having enough memory changed the development process a lot. Apple II had 48KB for everything (incl. video buffer).

Many things became a lot easier with the resource abundance like having flat memory model with the 32bit systems in a stark contrast via the segment switch on 8086.
If everyone consumes like that what's even the incentive for content creators?
Incredible. If all governments are serious about global warming, they would move all public transport buses to this battery (and hook it up to Solar farms directly, when parked in terminals between break shifts). Public transport buses are the ones that would clock 1.5 million kms. (200 km / day x 300 days = 60,000 kms per year, considering 2 month downtime per bus). One can quickly wean off caveman oil.
I am not aware of ISPs selling geolocation data in India (will have to look up on that). Yes, my building does have a common on-premise ISP equipment to which all our routers connect.

when it comes to browsers, I found Android way better with respect to accessibility due to Safari lacking recent web standards support, though my perspective is of someone testing a11y, not depending on it.

for mobile browsers, I noticed tab order, tab focus-active paeudostate, and focus fallback (eg what gets focused when a menu closes) to behave differently /incorrectly compared to desktop browser. Also aria-live often does not work on mobile.
Correct. The UK regulator (Ofgem) and thus UK consumers are being taken for a ride by windfarmers, who made these deals a precondition of building farms.

> but that’s not what has driven this large decline in emissions

Perhaps since 1879, but for the past 30-40 years the largest driver in co2 reduction has been due to actual reduction in (trade adjusted) consumption (40%)

Seconded. I tried to do this many years ago for my dissertation and failed, but this would be a dream of mine.
>You’re not going to develop someone for leadership

Could've ended that sentence there and it would better reflect 99% of organisations, while also explaining part of the attitude you're referring to.
Java cannot express immutability. `final` is not transitive, so nothing stops an unrelated change in code to break something that was immutable earlier. Same with Golang.
It's just racism with the excuse that it's "progressive" or "liberal" when its not.

I wonder if it is really possible to compare generations across the world.

In my country generations didn't even have a name until recently when 15-20 yo started talking about millenials, Z and boomers, where boomers are anybody about the age of their parents and more. Technically most of those parents are generation X, some even Y. I learned it by reading the article now.

Furthermore and more importantly different social and economic dynamics mean that people of the supposed same generation are different, especially when generations span only a few years. They watch the same videos but the world around them could be significantly different. A generation in one part of the world could be more similar to the previous or the next one somewhere else.

Anyway, probably all results still hold true if we think about evaluating the differences between people that entered the job market recently and colleagues that have been working for 10 or 20 years.
Maybe you should use a secondary partition for work
I'm starting to get convinced the stated objective isn't the objective IDF is really after.

They say the objective is to destroy Hamas and save the hostages.

I think the actual objective is to murder as many palestinians as possible. At the very least that is the actual objective of some IDF soldiers. They've said as much publicly.

Whether or not that's the actual objective intentionally or unintentionally is just arguing semantics at this point.
Ignoring the ideology - maybe, in a roundabout way, if this causes the middle-class and above to move their kids to private education in response, this will actually achieve its aims, in that the next time they sample gifted kids in public education, a larger percentage will be *ahem* "ethnically diverse"?
Huge thanks for the effort!

> Wouldn't you normally amortize that out for each top-level dependency you add to the project and write it to a lock file or something

Plain pip doesn't really have a lockfile. You can generate a freeze file, but that's something different in practice.

I haven't really been in the Python ecosystem in several years, but my surprise was mostly how there was no mention of Poetry or pipenv. Didn't they address that need before? Are they already out of favor?
>I don't think so. Not if you want to get DESTDIR support right, and proper dependency tracking (dep info as a side-effect of compilation, so you get all the headers and don't slow down one-off builds), and support for all the standard Makefile targets, etc.

With any make, yes. With modern GNU make you can embed sh code inside a makefile with the define hack, so no, ugly, but no.
How is the caste system DEI?
> IMHO that likely because our culture changed long ago and loyalty in general is worth less and even considered stupid when there are options.

I disagree, loyalty in friendship or with your family is not worth less. Being loyal to human being is not stupid, for me it's being loyal to a company or a brand that is.

When being loyal to your close ones, you create trust and for me this is critical of my hapiness.

I don't get anything from being loyal to a company.

Some marketing bro probably wrote that copy without thinking about it. Good explanation though.
A project to change constitutions needs to be pushed by politicians. But politicians suck, which implies they will not be inclined to push for constitution changes.

Quadratic voting is even more interesting! It's like voting power + consilience https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consilience

A voting system that aspires to boost uncorrelated signals, and attenuate highly correlated signals. Said another way, ideas with more support from a diversity of otherwise non-agreeing parties gets it's voting power boosted. So plurality wins. Convergence of knowledge from different sources of truth, that wins too.

And a group that's very similar to itself, voting one way, that gets de-voiced. Which is appropriate, because it's not interesting and not a dynamic agreement, and says nothing about deeper underlying unity and truth. Agreement across difference means there's something powerful going on, so we want that signal elevated
I'd like to say I'm liberal, but I don't think this is liberalism at all. It's racism under the guise of "its the right and ethical thing" so people who challenge it as labeled as isms or ist, it seeks to divide and create invisible barriers where there shouldn't be any.

The liberal thing to do would be to push for a meritocracy
Blame is a big issue though. No one is willing to take responsibility for their own behaviors which means ultimately nothing gets done. People will just keep buying bigger cars, taking more international vacations, consuming more single use plastics because "its someone else's problem."
I've done all checkout styles and I think the best is scan as you shop with a little handheld scanner is best by far, you can pack as you go along and I think I've had a random check like 3 times in years of doing a weekly shops.

I like having a running total and being able to price check, it's mostly fantastic. Only downside is fruit and veg which you have to weigh and print a sticker for, that's about it.

In my mind the perfect experience would be a trolley/cart/basket with a screen on it that detects what was inside.
If they would really like to help urban poor people, they would need to fix housing, affordable childcare, food deserts etc.
I see that in Glibc, snprintf goes to the same general _IO_vsprintf function, which has various ominous -1 returns.

I don't think I see anything that looks like the detection of a conversion error, but rather other reasons. I would have to follow the code in detail to convince myself that glibc's snprintf cannot return -1 under some obscure conditions.

Defending against that value is probably wise.

As far as C locale goes, come on, the design was basically cemented in more or less its current form in 1989 ANSI C. What the hell did anyone know about internationalizing applications in 1989.

There's never been any doubt that you can make a small, short-range battery electric airplane.

We will probably be able to make short-range battery electric and fuel cell airliners.

There is no prospect whatsoever of making an intercontinental battery electric airliner; there is no plausible battery chemistry with enough energy density to give you sufficient range. There are slightly better prospects of hydrogen-powered intercontinental airliners, but even that is very challenging given how bulky the hydrogen propellant required will be.

The only realistic medium-term prospect appears to be sustainable aviation fuel, though I wonder if future generations might one day have a crack at nuclear aviation.

Durably reducing conspiracy beliefs through dialogues with AI
Seems to be comming almost 3 days too late
A few threads in a soft boiled egg with a pinch of salt is also a great and easy way to experience the flavor.
> Across two experiments, we find robust evidence that the debunking conversation with the AI reduced belief in conspiracy theories by roughly 20%. This effect did not decay over 2 months time, was consistently observed across a wide range of different conspiracy theories, and occurred even for participants whose conspiracy beliefs were deeply entrenched and of great importance to their identities. Furthermore, although the dialogues were focused on a single conspiracy theory, the intervention spilled over to reduce beliefs in unrelated conspiracies, indicating a general decrease in conspiratorial worldview, as well as increasing intentions to challenge others who espouse their chosen conspiracy.
I just fundamentally don't understand why advanced placement classes need to be axed due to racial issues.

Why is this so hard? Just keep the accelerated education program. Then try to help the disadvantaged groups get better testing scores via assistance programs. The issue here is obviously the name of the program. Just change that!

To be fair, in Asian countries they have a different concept of things such as nationality and race, and often they are combined.

Such as China, someone born to Chinese parents in America can be seen as both Chinese and American.

If someone is born to two white Americans in China, they will not be seen as Chinese.

And at the same time it is control tactic... If people spend all time fighting for and against DEI, they won't fight about class issues. Which are the true problem.

Sorry, but I don’t buy this. West Bank is both more peaceful and less radicalized than Gaza, the difference being that the Israeli military operates in the West Bank but not in Gaza. Gaza was left unchecked to be run by Hamas and we’re seeing the results today.

Long term the only solution is systematic deradicalization, but before any of that happens, Hamas needs to he destroyed and the war in Gaza needs to serve as a lesson to why peace is better than war. So far, for all Palestinian suffering, we’re not past that point.
Well, it's still recursion whether you're using the call stack or are using an explicit stack structure. You're still breaking the problem down into smaller subproblems inductively. I feel that people focus on the wrong things when talking about recursion, focusing on the aspect of having a function calling itself instead of the idea of having the problem solved by way of breaking it down into smaller problems.
Pretty much all the comments here, and the article itself, are living in some sort of fantasy world where the status quo is stable enough by 2028 for this to matter.

Oh no, we can't do individualized learning in classrooms in 2024 because of resources and limited teacher support?

Could there be anything happening over the last four years that might change that balance in another four years?

This is bait.

The stark reality is that by the time this goes into effect the entire public school system is going to be struggling to adapt to a rapidly changing education environment with massive resources for individualized learning but a too slow institutional framework to catch up.

How districts organize their gifted students across geographic lines is like arguing about what color the Titanic is painted and if it might confuse orcas into bumping into it as the iceberg on the horizon gets closer and closer.
