With JSON, there's essentially no such thing as "properly" when it comes to parsing numbers, since the spec doesn't limit the ability of the implementation to constrain width and precision. It only says that float64 is common and therefore "good interoperability can be achieved by implementations that expect no more precision or range than these provide", but note the complete absence of any guarantees in that wording.

The only sane thing with JSON is to avoid numbers altogether and just use decimal-encoded strings. This forces the person parsing it on the other end to at least look up the actual limits defined by your schema.

Sounds like a worthy experiment. Why would people on this website condemn a group of people trying to see if a hunch is real? What have you done?

So why doesn't any major runtime run Java natively? Or C++ natively? Or Rust natively?

Why is this such a cool unlock that hasn't been done for any other language?

Release cycles and amount of stakeholder feedback that should be involved in the development process is unique per business and industry needs.

It may not be the Wifi but something more upstream. If ISPs interlinks have microwave towers, then the physical swaying would have some effect on channel interference.

They are saying not to use numbers unless you need to do math with th thing.

If you need to do math with the thing, use an appropriate type of number, of course.
I can see it with the 737 Max planes. I have flown on one once, but generally go out of my way at significant cost to avoid them. However, the 787 Dreamliner feels like a much safer aircraft. There were initially some issues with the Dreamliner. I don't have any issues riding it.

I'm not trying to critique the solution, I just think the decibel issue isn't so dire and other factors were more important. Which is supported by the way the problem was fixed.

As far as what was available at the time, I can't think of a super easy way to check that far back, but I will note that the 17dB stick antennas on Amazon have been available at the same price or cheaper for about 10 years.

Streamlining Development with Lcdp.ai: Maintaining Domain Classes and Forms
I've authored a blog post that delves into the domain class and form definition features of the LCDP.ai low-code development platform.

LCDP.ai sets itself apart from other no-code platforms by being entirely model-driven and adhering to the principle that "Everything is data, and code is also a form of data."

By leveraging this concept, we've enhanced the platform's customizability, enabling it to meet complex enterprise requirements beyond simple data management systems.
Depending on the state, it is now a legal requirement for salaries posted up front. This is a requirement in California, Colorado and NY.

For sure. I remember thinking.... "But where are the instructions to load and store X registers?" -- Psych! There aren't any! Just jam an address into a A register. Take that you RISC fan-boys, can you get to less than zero instructions?
The whole point of asymmetric-key is that a middleman can't do that. Even if you relayed the entire handshake, all traffic after that is just line noise to you unless you have the transmitter's private key. You can't read it or mangle it (well, you can mangle it, but the receiving party will know it was mangled in transit). The exploit string on the wire for that transmission won't work in the context of any other transmission sequence.
It's tolerated because the JSON spec explicitly allows it:

This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range
and precision of numbers accepted. Since software that implements
IEEE 754 binary64 (double precision) numbers [IEEE754] is generally
available and widely used, good interoperability can be achieved by
implementations that expect no more precision or range than these
provide, in the sense that implementations will approximate JSON
numbers within the expected precision. A JSON number such as 1E400
or 3.141592653589793238462643383279 may indicate potential
interoperability problems, since it suggests that the software that
created it expects receiving software to have greater capabilities
for numeric magnitude and precision than is widely available.

Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and
are in the range [-(2**53)+1, (2**53)-1] are interoperable in the
sense that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric
values.

And yes, this is completely insane for a format that supposed to be specifically for serialization and interop. Needless to say, the industry has enthusiastically adopted it to the point where it became the standard.

I miss XML these days. Sure, it was verbose and had a bunch of different and probably excessive numeric types defined for XML Schema... but at least they were well-defined (https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#built-in-datatypes). And, on the other hand, without a schema, all you had were strings. Either way, no mismatched expectations.
I really like Deno for small scripts and small side projects - it's just fast to get started with. And it allows me to use web standards, like URL imports to grab packages from CDNs instead of having a config file. There's just less to think about, like oh what was Node's crypto thing? Node is making strides in web compatibility, and building in things like a test runner. And I don't have much interest in migrating company projects away from Node. But Deno feels really fresh and light when I just need to run some JS.

Is the US as it operates today a free market (how free?) or a weighted control economy where the larger players have a greater weight of control of media and the political landscape via owned outlets and subsidised senators?

Do small players in the US economy have equal access to the market, or are they overshadowed by near oligarchies?

BLIS does that in their kernels. I've tried doing that but was never able to get something better than half as good as MKL. The BLIS technique of tiling across k also requires atomics or an array of locks to write output.
I’d like to see the strong case for autonomous driving being the harbinger of generalized AI laid out. Specialized AI, with varying hardware support, has yet to solve the last-mile of 5-10% of autonomous driving in favorable conditions. In snow, sleet, hail, dusty, smoky, foggy or some rainy conditions, progress has not been commensurate. Yet somehow this is the success template for generalized AI applications. I’m missing the chain of logic here.

A lot of this breathless talk surrounding this turn of AI is so uncomfortably reminiscent of what I’ve seen before in the mainstream the last turns around the 1970’s and 1980’s, and the potential failure mode might not be so different: solving the last 5-10% is tantalizingly close but remains stubbornly out of reach of calls for the “more cowbell” of each era or call to action by the sales legions (currently cowbells look like NVIDIA boards and various counts of AI models be it tokens or what have you), and the last 5-10% is the necessary advance to cross the chasm.

I love and use the tech myself every hour, but it has deep gaps I don’t see being resolved even incrementally between versions or competitors.

About four years ago Andreesen published this: https://a16z.com/its-time-to-build/

They were and remain big crypto investors and it's pretty weird that the essay doesn't acknowledge how much talent and money crypto sucked up. He asks where the supersonic aircraft are and - ignoring that they have awful externalities - there is actually a supersonic jet startup. A16Z hasn't invested in Boom, though, near as I can tell.

A16Z is a leading venture fund - if anyone's gonna build the future, they could use A16Z's money. So why is so much of what Andreesen wants from the future not what they've invested in?
Yup. Back in time, they wrote an article about cloud repatriation (https://a16z.com/the-cost-of-cloud-a-trillion-dollar-paradox...) and used a very nich use cases to extrapolate to all the cloud workload just to support their own portfolio company. So many people in the industry just thought it was a joke:)
Yeah I had mistakenly thought the exploit string was transmitted during key exchange (read too quickly on "pre-auth"), which is incorrect; see sibling comment. I'm unfortunately past the edit window now.
After the setup launches it would ask you for the language selection. After that you would be presented with a window which would allows you to install Windows or launch the 'Repair computer' wizard. Now just press Shift+F10, navigate to the other partition and launch setup.exe manually.

If you need, use diskpart to list available volumes:

diskpart
list volume

If the second, NTFS volume somehow don't receive a letter (and hence you can't navigate to it):

diskpart
list vol (note the number of the volume)
sel vol ## (the number of the value)
assign letter=K (or any other to your liking)

When it gets really surreal it kind of emphasizes how a complete fantasy world can be constructed, sometimes merely verbally by those so inclined, and disseminated by those driven to getting increased attention.

Using more efficient mass-media as it arises allows greater numbers of the general public who might have an interest in such exaggerated stories, to indulge as deeply as they would like. Generally more so than previous generations.

With the overindulgence of some progressing to an unhealthy point, where fantasy is not fully separated from reality in the mind as well as it could be.
It depends how you want the "install" to go; Gentoo stage3 tarballs are exactly like that (and, unsurprisingly, the BSDs at least used to favor it). On the other hand, I'm personally quite fond of the method where you point the package manager at a root directory and it creates the system there by (more or less) just downloading and unpacking packages into that directory; off the top of my head, nixos defaults to this approach, Arch at least used to, yum/dnf distros were quite happy to do it with a little prodding, debian does it with debootstrap... Anyways. The point is that this is in some ways more flexible; rather than starting with a root tarball and then adding packages, you just... install packages (almost incidentally including core/base packages).
Have you tried pnpm?

You can use tsx as loader with node if you want to directly run typescript.

It's going to Destroy sync no question. one of the few avenues artists have left to make an income with music. My personal opinion is that this is wholesale theft. While the technology is dazzling there is just no way suno wasn't trained on vast catalogues of copyrighted music.

What burns me up the most is that these people are walking around like they own the place. They don't. I really hope the NYT prevails in their copyright case. this will open a floodgate of lawsuits that will also be won.

On the creative side of generative AI, AI seems like a parasite that will do nothing more than further concentrate wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer people. When all of those robots come online and really start replacing jobs, there will be a reckoning and it's not going to be pretty.

This is the only way to execute TypeScript. That's how every tool that "executes" TypeScript works.
Speaking of languages with an affinity to a specific characteristic, Urdu - a mix of Persian, Arabic, Hindi, Sanskrit - is another language that somehow seems "naturally" suited for romance and poetry (it's called the the language of poets in the indian subcontinent). The Mughal rulers of India who popularised it were huge patrons of arts, and thus there is large trove of literature and poems in Urdu.
Yeah. And I suspect diet. There has been some speculation that the "safe" levels of herbicide are not actually safe for beneficial gut flora.
How does it compare to pnpm

I didn’t even know that this existed. But I upload images for public sharing perhaps once a year or once in two years. So I don’t need this service.

I’m not writing an email as requested in the blog post because that entire post has not even one link to the main page of the service being talked about. Only those who click on one link to another blog post and then navigate to the main page may bother to email.

I think something is deeply missing in the way this blog post is written. And it’s likely that this is not the only post with such deficiencies.

As the other replies are mentioning, the IRS actually bucks the trend. Historically at least they are very well funded, and investment in this kind of customer service literally pays off as they help taxpayers get their tax in correctly. You can call the 800 number and actually get an agent on the other end who knows the system and is empowered to help you out.

I haven't had to call in for an agent post-Trump though, so things could have changed. (Not meant as a political statement; it's a simple fact that Trump utterly destroyed their funding for a few years.)
