I live in Pacific Heights, likely one of the top 5 richest neighborhoods in the world. Let me tell you this really directly… inequality is not going down, these people just have no fucking clue how extreme it’s become because they aren’t amoung it and keep comparing terrible datasets that completely lack the outlier data that makes up most of the extreme inequality.

And pacific heights won’t come up at the top 5 richest neighborhoods in the world because the data publicaly available is crap… you need to see know and run in the circles to see how much shadow wealth is going around
This sounds like a good setup - if you don't mind me asking, what do you use for your auto scaling metric?

Also curious how much y'all isolate it from your other infra. I've thought about this but I've been torn on whether I'd set up a separate vpc for it.
Standard plea deal is usually pleading out to one or two charges from a whole host of shit that the prosecutor threw at the wall, but probably couldn't get a conviction on at trial.
I don’t think anything “stops” you from overriding the font, outside of potentially breaking formatting. It just doesn’t appear to be directly enabled on most clients; it seems like most clients will default to the font the email uses for HTML.
Isn't this what the last part of TFA covers?
Weird that the yield statement is conflated with coroutines instead of iterators/generators. Even weirder to say its a "C# coroutine" feature when there's no coroutine in the C# language. It does look pretty similar to the yield keyword for C# iterators.

Unity (and probably others) use yielding iterators as a somewhat hacky way to make coroutines, though. I wouldn't say its a good role model but it gets the job done.

> Give me access to the generated struct. Allow me to put it on the stack of another function. Or as a member of another struct. Then I can store it on the heap if I want, but don’t force me.

As for why they're allocated on the heap...seems like the stack would be a foot gun, no? To write a safe coroutine, you need to hope your caller doesn't blow out the stack between iterations or just defensively put everything on the heap yourself anyway. Enforcing safety seems like the right call but that's a matter of taste, I suppose.

This does remind me of a recent C# change to the Task<T> promise type returned by async/await functions. Before they were only heap allocated because you need that to be able to properly await them multiple times. This is a major reason you can't use them in games and use things like Unity's Coroutines. As it turns out a lot of small heap allocs suck and stack allocation does come in handy for perf. Now we have stack allocated Task<T> types as well. It would be a nightmare if the unsafe was the default though... Why is life so complicated?
Asking for help is not the same as making demands. To make a demand there has to be a downside for the person who you want to do something.
I was only ever a mediocre cellist (Suzuki book 7) but my sister was legit good and won a scholarship-ish thing to borrow some hundreds-of-years-old cello worth six figures. When playing it, even I could immediately tell the difference between it and my mass-produced Yamaha.
We only use co_await/co_return in the production code. It's basically like JavaScript promise and it's very easy to work with.

Calling coroutine in non-coroutine code is also easy, just do blockingWait(co_routineFunc());

We almost never use multithreading code in the business layer now unless coroutine is actually causing performance issue. I haven't seen that happen yet

In Sweden we have "The Enforcement Agency", a government agency that does both with the same process. And it's the same process for both companies and private persons. Credit risk is a lot lower in Sweden for that reason, compared to similar markets such as Denmark.
I don't think there's anything wrong in making a traditional label that conforms to all other labels (i.e. looks aged).

That's a design choice, and design choices that appeal to tradition are everywhere, even in software.
Clearly adding the purchaser's data to each product (think, watermarking a PDF with the name and email of the purchaser) might deter resellers. And would make it easier to trace who's reselling.
I’m against death penalty because:

1. False conviction rate is unacceptably high

2. It’s financially similarly burdensome to do life imprisonment as death penalty

3. Presence of death penalty doesn’t seem to impact homicide rates

I am all for putting some people in prison and never letting them out (because of high chance of recidivism).

This sort of gamification is so widespread. It makes perfect sense to me in some areas, but in others (reading being one), it doesn’t at all. Reading is so personal and so important to savour, that the idea of “getting through the book” just seems to run counter to the whole spirit.

I’ve got a massive stack of books that I want to read and I feel some frustration sometimes that I can’t get through them quicker, because I want to read more! But this is an internal metric and not one I’ve ever compared to anything or anyone else.

I’m a fiction reader mainly; maybe this sense isn’t the case if I had a stack of business books? I don’t know.

You are not at any risk of running into Earthsea every day, that's for sure.

Potter is a goofy lightning speed read. Much of it doesn't even make sense (see Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality for a take on that.)

Some people claim here that Earthsea is aimed at young adults. It's readable by young adults but it's far too slow and calm to be of much interest to most young adults. And there is much more to be found in there by older readers.

No, Earthsea's 6 books plus short stories are a peaceful but sometimes intense, slow, poetic and extremely emotion inducing view of the life of the main wizard character. From young wizard seeking his education in A Wizard of Earthsea, through questing, failing magic, retirement and return of the ex-wizard - and a few tales of other wizards in the same world; plus the old wizard and settling accounts. Magic in Earthsea is not used lightly (at least not by the main character). It is largely about knowing the true name of things. The hero sees the many problems of the world but does not rush to wand them away. Magic is not day to day housekeeping spells and conveniences and practical jokes - but can be applied to influence things that matter.

Earthsea as a whole is a masterpiece.

For a third direction to magic, I always include The Magicians (the book trilogy although the first couple TV seasons are also good) where we have magic as a highly unstable and poorly controlled field of ... physics or something - being taught to angst-ridden but also very sure of themselves teens by instructors who know that this stuff will kill you if you half glance away. And it does. But that same unstable high-power stuff is also the literal gate to entire other worlds - equally irresistible to our, ermmmm, heroes? Just as the language for Earthsea is spot-on, so is the writing style for The Magicians fitting for these completely different characters and genre of magic.

The Magicians is a masterpiece.
Same. What a beautiful plot twist.
Not really that much In my experience. Most of the unsafety is very obvious and most of the memory safety really come from errors from this obviously unsafe parts, e.g. the most common memory safety bug is pointer arithmetic gone wrong. The others are temporal memory safety and signed integer overflows. None of this is really subtle or what I would really call a footgun. Nowadays, programmers do not seem to understand integer conversion rules of C anymore (although they are simply IMHO), but then this is something which can be mitigated via sanitizers.

What Apple wants and what they get are two things. At this point, there's a significant risk that their attempts to contain this will backfire and will result in even more unfavorable rules. The mood here in the EU is not in favor of entertaining their bullshit. There is not a lot of sympathy for Apple here. Rulings against them are fairly uncontroversial.

There's also the notion that the continued negative press around Apple's anti competitive behavior is going to have an effect on their competitive position. Iphone marketshare in the EU is much smaller than that in the US. They don't have as tight a grip on the market. Things like Facetime or Apple messenger aren't widely used because they don't work with other phones and lots of people have those, which makes using these apps impractical.

And this stuff will likely spill over to other regions. Once Apple shows they can grudgingly behave a bit nicer in the EU, other countries are going to insist on the same. China already does that of course. Apple sells iphones there. But with a Chinese appstore, Chinese maps, and under very strict Chinese laws. And of course this stuff might eventually come back to the US where people might rightly wonder why they have to be nannied by Apple.

To rise above bias one does not need to be superhuman - simply stop relying on opinions. It's not hard. This is, for instance, how the NYTimes developed such a stellar reputation that they have long since squandered. This [1] is an article from them on the Titanic. Outside of some pointless comments on the wireless operator, it's just a perfect article and source. It's only modern times that we've increasingly normalized putting emotion, opinion, and so ahead of reality. One need only look at the latest wars for rather extreme illustrations of such.

Literally everything I have cited has been a fact, while most things you have sourced have been not only opinions, but opinions that should be expected to be anything but impartial. Some of the few facts you have offered are also misleading. For instance you mention that "On June 29, 1894, Debs hosted a peaceful meeting to rally support for the strike from railroad workers at Blue Island, Illinois." Calling it a peaceful meeting is not only an opinion, and also an intentionally misleading one. That meeting is quite relevant, because at its conclusion - the workers set out to riot - setting fire to local buildings and derailing a train. [2] That event is actually what triggered the government crackdown, as the locomotive they derailed was carrying US Mail. It's like wherever Debs went, violence followed!

Finally I would also say that it increasingly feels like you're engaging in active cognitive dissonance. You're half arguing that they didn't engage in violence, and then half arguing that - well they had to engage in violence!

19 years at the helm. She worked hard to keep a system that works hard to keep people like her out. She's a hypocrite and they would have looked like hypocrites too, had they let her keep her job.

We should celebrate Marilee Jones every year - perhaps on the first day of school in homage to anyone who has truly faked it till they made it!
One of the most interesting value adds for me is not any of the things mentioned by OP. I would like to have a managed hosted runner solution where I can have a buildkit cache also in the same data center that I manage where I don’t have to pay ingress/egress to that cache but also I don’t have to manage my own runner infra. I have done the whole self hosted Karpenter + Actions Runner Controller thing to achieve this and it is a lot of work to set up and tune to get right.

The problem is actually really that GitHub’s caching offering is very limited for anything except the most basic of use cases and also they don’t offer a way to colo your own cache with them so that you aren’t paying cloud fees back and forth. You have to use their machines, their storage and their protocol which is only really viable if your definition of caching is literally just “upload files here” and “check if the uploaded built file already exists”.

Yes, I’m aware that buildkit offers “experimental” GHA caching support. But given how fat image layers are it’s basically unusable for anything beyond a toy project that builds a couple layers on top of an alpine image (as of the time of writing this post GHA limits cache size to 10gb per repo. Fine if you’re building npm or pypi packages or whatever, but hilariously inadequate for buildkit layer caching)
This sounds interesting, how's the project coming along, got any demos? Want something like this.

Odd comment. The UI has nothing to do with recalculation speed. Anyway, the MS ribbons continually move stuff around - it's a pain for the casual user. Maybe people who use it all day long get used to it?

Regarding spreadsheets, yes, that is one area where LibreOffice genuinely has not overtaken MS-Office.

It's very confusing how a relativity works in a non-deterministic world. Brian Greene's illustration of how relativity "slices the loaf" in the Fabric of the Cosmos (https://youtu.be/8Y-JmocB84Y?t=1334) makes it very difficult for me to understand how things work if reality is indeed non-deterministic.

Unless reality is more like Everything Everywhere All At Once, i.e., the Everett many loafs model.

The items you get are the same, but maybe the frequencies are different? I never heard of that being the case, only that the weapons you get depend on your position in the race (you get better weapons when doing worse in the race).

But I also didn't realize this was the case on SNES. I only ever played the SNES version as a young kid, and it was a Japanese NTSC version on a PAL television through a cartridge adapter and it was pretty janky.
There is European SE companies, just adapt that type into US law maybe adding more organisation types (nationally incorporated nonprofits? why not).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc#MathCraft

Quote:

One Cyc application aims to help students doing math at a 6th grade level, helping them much more deeply understand that subject matter... Unlike almost all other educational software, where the computer plays the role of the teacher, this application of Cyc, called MathCraft, has Cyc play the role of a fellow student who is always slightly more confused than you, the user, are about the subject.

This is from 2017. I haven't seen anything like this using LMs in 2017 and I suspect it is still hard for LLMs today.

Cyc is the huge reasoning engine. You can call it Prolog, if you want. I won't.
I appreciate the kind remark, I was on the fence about it. My internal dialog was something like: "ok, if I can do an ELI3 that doesn't exaggerate, slander anyone, or wildly oversimplify a nuanced topic, I'll hit it".

I think it met that bar. It's a squeaker, and I certainly won't vigorously argue with anyone who objects that such simplifications inevitably miss important stuff, that's always a reasonable objection.

But this turns out to be a really old story: founders got rich, investors got rich, acquiring entities got bent over a barrel, and everyone yawned until they didn't.

You're defending people rather than nations which means you've changed the subject because you can't defend Gaza's actions and you're being forced to sustain that Israel is a better actor.

Stay on topic. You want to defund Israel.

Gaza intends to kill 100% of civilians (according to charter). Israel intends to kill less than 100%.

Defund Gaza?

If Israel had a kill all policy that would win your moral favor?

Disgusting. For real dude. Not even a little criticism for Gaza? Only Israel? Why?

I'm aware of all that, but I don't trust those organizations to be objective as there's a lot of geopolitics at play. South Africa's ruling party is friendly with Russia, for one thing. Then you have Iran's influence, and most of the Arab world has always been against Israel as a nation. Plus all the opposition to the west's influence in the region. There's a lot of proxy stuff going on.

But more than anything, I can just look at the conflict itself and there's no genocide going on. It's war in a dense urban area where Hamas hides among the population.

People do not change. In my opinion, people are driven by circumstance. Middle-class is relatively calm and peaceful because that's their circumstance. Of course, if you are part of one you'd claim otherwise in some process of self-insulation and protection.

I liked Oliver Burkeman on this with his “too many needles” idea [0].

Personally, I hoard a bunch of stuff using Omnivore and then on a semi regular basis I go through that and just throw away 90% of it. I find this two stage process useful: stage 1 is gathering All The Things, stage 2 is after a while sifting and keeping only the stuff I’m really interested in. Ultimately though, I try nowadays to apply a Buddhist angle on it: I hold all this stuff very lightly, knowing that it’s as close to infinite as makes no difference, and letting it go!

The depot.dev service has excellent caching for docker. It's almost like building locally.

Though the site (depot.dev) focuses on that aspect, this post doesn't.

Sure, but WinterCG means it's also not impossible. I've done it. Wasn't too hard.
By every measure (go read and told up the CVEs), Chrome has a better security track record than Safari. That means by not allowing users to use Chrome (or a Chromium variant), Apple is forcing users to use a less secure browser and a less secure JavaScript and less secure JIT.
