> The first thing people will do is turn on the bypass and never turn it off.

I have a feeling that you have never used a sawstop. You can not "turn on the bypass and never turn it off." As soon as you hit the stop paddle the bypass mode is disabled. You must reenable the bypass mode every time you want to pull the paddle. If someone is dead set on getting stuff done the bypass procedure gets old quickly.

Have you ever used a sawstop? How did you turn on bypass mode forever?
False. A computer always has a finite amount of memory.
I worked with Laravel and trust me, it's a pain in the ass when you have a medium/big project. The "documentation" (more a how-to) is full of bad practices, the facade pattern makes it hard to refactor or change the underline logic, you can break the contract easily (it's just php annotations, not real type-hints), the ORM is a pain to test and has too much magic, you use strings to set the validation makes it hard to understand when it's not trivial, the request->input() takes query/body so you end up mixing everything and some clients use the API in various way, there is helpers to get the config/service anywhere (even in static methods) which makes it painful to test and refactor, etc. I strongly recommend to use Symfony instead, the documentation is great, the profiler is built-in, the cache is better (faster), it's type-hinted and strict, there is interfaces, it scales well because it's flexible and well thought.
Regarding retirement age;

Once upon a time it was irrelevant. Whatever age it was, you died before you hot there.

Then we decided that 60 is a good age. Most people die somewhat-soon after that, so you can store up value along the way, then spend it "after retirement". Back in the day most people entered the work force by 20 (usually a lot earlier) so nominally 40 years of work, and 5 to 10 of retirement.

Of course today lots of people go off to college and won't enter the workforce until well into their 20s. They have better health options, were better nourished in formative years, smoke less and can legitimately expect to live into their 80s.

So there's this arbitrary retirement age, which is based on life factors, but somehow its uncool to adjust the retirement age.

Let me reframe your point. Gen Z will perhaps be the healthiest generation in history. With a life expectancy into the 90s. (nice).
Not only that, but they assume that corporations, free of government regulation, will simply act in everyone’s best interest, with responsibility and accountability.

At least in theory, my government representatives are accountable to me. To whom is Facebook accountable?
It may or may not not possible, but it definitely won't be as easy. Binaries compiled with GCC (and other mainstream compilers) are pretty bloated. You may be able to get the same thing as assembler by manually excluding sections and functions from the output, but it's not just a single commandline parameters.

And the setup code is not completely useless, for example it is responsible for parsing command line parameters and actually running main. If you want to actually use libc instead of just writing assembly directly, you may need it.

You can strip

>_start
Almost but not quite! _start is the name of the symbol that is executed first in the program. If you compile with -nostdlib, you need to provide this symbol yourself (this will be your new main).
I think the journalist just didn't understand exactly what this mission did[0]. It drilled through 1 177 meters of rock, in a place where the ocean floor was 4 776 meters below the surface.

> Is VSCode involved in provisioning these dev servers, or do you just point it to an SSH endpoint?

In our setup there is a web version of VSCode which you can run from a browser (that implies provisioning, yes), but I don't like it and prefer to connect to the remote box from my desktop VSCode, via SSH.
Would appreciate an update if you do find a vendor with global shipping, I'm looking around myself.

> it's your statement that is incorrect.

Wrong

There is not a single country where I have the "right", granted by law, to shoot dead your 8Yo children. Period.

Some people, like dictators or criminals, just can jump over the law without consequences. And laws have exceptions that modify the punishment so in a few --extreme-- cases I could do it without serious consequences to me.

But: "Is an 'all you can kill' party and there are good chances that I will not be punished"; is still profoundly different as "is legal to kill children (as long as they are in a minority)".

And It always will be different.
> blessed Ubuntu version with the blessed kernel version

To an SRE, this is a nightmare to read. Cuda is bad in this regard (can often prevent major kernel version updates), but this is worse.
Or a project name that overlaps an init.d script they'd prefer to have kept

It also doesn't fail immediately if many of the commands fail (instead blindly moves on to the next statement). Consider using bash and these options: https://github.com/kvz/bash3boilerplate/blob/main/main.sh#L1... for most scripts.
> From novels in the 18th century to the bicycle in the 19th and through comic books, rock and roll, marijuana, and violent video games in the 20th century, there are always those who ring alarms, and there are always those who are skeptics of those alarms. So far, the skeptics have been right more often than not

Do we really know that, though? Maybe teens actually were better off before novels and bicycles and rock and roll in some ways? You know, spending more time outdoors, with their families, etc.

Or maybe it's just about time scales. When a new, socially disruptive invention arrives, and it does not fit in the structures of the society, it causes mental illness. But as time goes on and the cultural norms adapt to the new invention, it stops causing mental illnesses.

Alcohol is almost universally available, but it causes different amount of problems (both mental and physical) in different social contexts. In communities where it was recently introduced, it often causes loads of damage since the culture doesn't have rules and norms to prevent overuse of it. As a culture gets more used to alcohol, rules and norms (such as "don't drink alcohol before noon" or "don't go to work drunk") are developed and the harms are reined in.

One thing I think that can be said for sure is that we shouldn't fuck with extremely complex systems like our society just for fun. All changes should be phased in gradually rather than suddenly released into the wild.
No it's not. W and y are vowels in Welsh (y can also be a consonant sometimes but I think only in words loaned from English). In Welsh the letter w stands for a sound something like the double o in the English word book.
As I'm trying to find a more charitable point of view on her lifestyle: if this is how she prefers to spend her free time and if it doesn't impair her ability to exist as a functioning adult, is it really that bad?

I mean I personally know people who rarely interact with others other than work, and do weird things like playing with electronics and games all day, mostly just for fun and not for profit. They are often happy as they are, I'm sure many of them are on this very website.

Your sister sounds a bit like the TikTok version of the weird nerd stereotype, replace the PCBs with cosmetics and games with celebrity gossip. Their influencers sell lipsticks instead of 3d printed desk toys and mechanical switches. For me it's difficult to recognize TikTok stuff as a legitimate interest and understand her devotion to it, but then many of the hacker stuff must seem the same to the people outside of these circles.

Not that I know her situation better than you do of course, this was more of a thought experiment on trying to understand a niche that I know very little about.
loved the insights on mySql memory management, your practical tips are super helpful and easy to understand. Trying these out. Thanks for sharing!
In my case, I have a single window for Firefox (except for when I have another opened in privacy mode). I then have a - wide - variety of more or less topic-based tab groups. So when I'm doing something re AI, I switch to that group, or Emacs, or work, or Python, etc. Sometimes things get crossed, but eventually I send tabs I want to preserve/defer to their proper groups. If I open a new tab and start typing something that's very similar to an existing tab, I get the option to switch to it, even if it's in another group. And whenever I want to access and iterate on some particular topic, whether for 5 seconds or 5 hours, all the context is just a group switch away.
The biggest speed advantage for driving is the same as biking or walking - you can begin the trip at any time.

Even a subway with a five minute headway is going to burn waiting time or be incredibly precisely scheduled.

The subway will beat driving during the rushiest of rush hours but off peak the car will win unless it’s literally prohibited.
Chat is a fairly terrible interface for real work, since you can’t modify anything, meaning the context can get easily poisoned. I much prefer the API playgrounds, and third party interfaces, that slow editing both my input and the responses.
This could have been fantastic, but has been bureaucratted to shitdom by the EU in the same way they "solved" daylight savings time.

Mozilla will now need to invest the limited resources they have to port Gecko to iPhones in the EU — read: _iPhones_ and iPhones only, not iPads, and not for any market other than the EU.

Meanwhile, everyone will install Chrome, and we're done with the second wave of the browser wars.

I was really sad when Swype shut down a few years ago. Is there any app with that level of quality available today?

I don't understand how things still haven't gotten better after over a decade, especially with the boom in AI and phone processing power.
The slow and inexorable brightening of the Sun (it's already 30% brighter than when it settled onto the Main Sequence) will eventually cause a runaway greenhouse effect. The oceans will all be converted to steam and the surface temperature will be far beyond what life could survive. After that things only get hotter until the Sun enters its end stages and leaves the Main Sequence.
As krastanov pointed out in the comment above you, "Scientific Reports" is not the same as publishing in "Nature" itself.

But about your cousin's method:
If you have never heard of "Nature" even though it is one of the biggest names out there, then you have no reason to trust it, of course.

On the other hand, if you have already read hundreds of papers published by them in your field, and those were above average in quality, trusting that name does make a lot of sense imho.

Any parents here who have successfully managed this with their kids? Please share resources or ideas for newer parents.
No. Social media algorithmically creates bubbles that isolate people into certain interests. It's a 'culture' manufactured by an algorithm to drive engagement i.e. ad buys. If anything it's a gross manipulation of culture.
Perhaps worse, in the places I’ve lived the main communications from emergency services and law enforcement are posted on Twitter.

You can’t 100% prevent them from accessing trash but you can limit it as much as possible.

We’ve had success so far but I am concerned with what happens as they get older and get social pressure to join social media.

I guess we have to parent. Paraphrasing something I saw elsewhere:

“Raise your girls or meangirl anorexia influencers will; raise your boys or Andrew Tate will.”

It’s always been important to keep your kids away from bad influences. It’s just that now they can get life guidance from sociopaths, creeps, unhinged ideologues, and self destructive losers in their pockets.
Is that why the search has gone to absolute crap? I’ve switched to Amazon basically for everything I used to get from AE because of the anti search / advertising search. I’d rather pay more and not waste the time.
So I think the WinForms editor thing occurs because of how windows are drawn rather than something related to Visual Studio itself. (You could see this more easily on Windows XP or whatever where if you decided to change from Luna to Olive or what have you, the WinForms designer form would change as well.)

I think it's probably an artifact of drawing the window in a particular way using the Win32 API.

For example, you can also see the "Aero Basic" style if you do a Control.DrawToBitmap on a Form control. (According to the winforms source, `DrawToBitmap` just sends a WM_PRINT message.)

I am actually mildly surprised it didn't change in Windows 10, but maybe that part of the codebase never got updated. Who knows :)

(Side note: there's also this article[1] from 2004 that describes creating your own custom "designer" type application. It's pretty old, but it might be interesting nontheless.)

You mean that "expert advice" which is increasingly questioned with passing time, and happened to change every Monday and Saturday? That expert advice which at least for Germany is now revealed to have been ordered by political forces, not based on scientific evidence? C'mon. Waving about with the pandemic as a good example is getting hilarious.
Were you still on the very first test account, e.g. before even adding any money?

I know indirectly Anthropic was the #1 target for a lot of ERPdenizens for a while now, so they're probably extremely trigger happy until you clear a hurdle or two.
> I’ve never touched Ruby but it also sounds like we shouldn’t discard RoR in terms of productivity.

I'm doing some Ruby for work and I hate it with passion every time i have to touch it.

Official tutorial-style documentation for Ruby is largely non-existstant (except for a book from 2002 that teaches outdated stuff from ruby 1.3). Learning ruby is 99% monkey learning, as in reading some random tutorial off the web and then doing some monkey-see-monkey-do. It's awful and it's frustrating.

Python on the other hand is extremely well documented:

* Tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html

* Standard library reference: https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html

* Language reference: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html

Guess which language is thriving and which is slowly losing relevance?
I think the real issue is what causes social media to be this way?
We have the world's top engineers working in ways to gamify and create addiction to these apps because the more people use it, the higher the ad revenue and higher the performance in the stock market. Kids are totally addicted to it, many see their self-worth based on how many likes or comments to their posts they get.
So they portray this fake lifestyle, and everything they see is a fake lifestyle, together with mind-numbing content that is only entertaining in small amounts but yet tricks your brain into thinking its educational, and makes you watch 20 more in a row. Social media doesn't have to be this way and it actually shouldn't. But it is going to be very difficult to convince people in power who make tons of money this way to change this into a healthier more sane approach. Even the people living it will probably fight it as they prefer this fake life they live in without realizing that it is destroying their real one. The less attention you give to yourself and the more you constantly seek a distraction in your daily life whenever you find yourself bored or alone, the more you will lose control of it and you will want to be distant from it.
So yeah we can blame social media, but I think we should look at the root cause.

They’re communication platforms in only a very roundabout sense: like a newspaper’s “Letters to the Editor” section, but quicker. You send your message to Facebook, it decides (algorithmically, not through human editors) whether or not to publish it and to whom, and then Facebook sends that message onward.
Super interesting concept. Thanks for sharing.
You haven't been around teenagers, or even humans in general much, huh?

Teaching another person, even an eager one, how to change their behaviour and mental patterns concerning validation and FOMO is a really hard task. It's not knowledge like math or something that you can just pass onto them. It can take months or even years even for pros (psychitrists etc.) to do that. Combine that with the fact that teenagers brains are wired differently (their need to fit it is greater than that of an adult) and their "natural resistance" to adults' teaching and it becomes almost impossible task.
The dumping of energy into noise in bands variants tend to be very short ranged because of physics.

Malicious clients/APs need much less energy to DoS a network Wi-Fi network. WPA3
adds optional PMF (802.11w) to protect against rogue deauth over WPA2. Also, not deploying 802.11r but deploying WPA-3 only mode and device/user cert-based 802.1x auth also help.
Yep... Calais (ME) and Bryn Mawr (PA) come to mind.
> And what if it turns out that I am wrong? What if, in reality, the multinational collapse of adolescent mental health in the early 2010s was not caused by the arrival of phone-based childhood; it was just a big coincidence. Will kids be damaged by these four norms? I don’t think so. What irreversible harm will be done to children who spend more time listening to their teachers during class, more time playing and exploring together outdoors, and less time sitting alone hunched over a device?

I lived in a twilight zone where smartphone became available to masses right during middle school, and I can attest that if smartphones are banned kids will simply move on to computers or other networked handheld devices. Kids are more knowledgeable than adults give credit for and know how they are being manipulated, as well as workarounds. No phone policy in schools were routinely violated; for example, they carry multiple phones and hand out only one of them. There are guides available online how to break parental control (with varying effectiveness ofc). Trying to weed out the outliers just makes the experience worse for everyone.

Also I would be remiss if I don't highlight the upsides from social media, even for kids and adolescents: It's arguably the only safe haven for minorities. Imagine you're the only LGBTQ+ student in your school (probably not, but when nobody speaks up it's as good as none). Teachers won't tell, parents won't tell, then all you have left is the internet, on which there are plethora of such communities. Blocking access to such knowledge, the community and make them "spend more time listening to teachers" is exactly the recipe for mental illness/self harm, especially considering current trends.

Well, Python is not Raku, so while it could be possible to make "[expr1, expr2, ..., exprN] * exprM" to mean "[*(expr1), *(expr2), ..., *(exprN) for _ in range(exprM)]", it would never happen.

Besides, that still doesn't help with the case of

x = function_that_returns_a_list()
x = x * 4

where there is no literal list expression.
Considering lots of states and countries in the EU are trying to move their public sector stuff (incl. schools, school-issued devices etc.) away from FAANG licenses, children will start to get more exposure to alternative solutions early on.

I think the current wave of absolute failure to respect or even understand European privacy needs coming from California is going to lead to generational knock-on effects.

There's a very good cultural reason why no-one here has even heard about green/blue/yellow chat messages, why Apple has no majority market share, why state and federal governments all over the EU have tried and are still trying to ditch Microsoft. Only now it's not just about the cultural difference in respect for the privacy of your fellow man, now it's also about strategic importance and even our own sovereignty.

> Social media just projects our toxic culture back at us.

When I see Youtube trying to bait me into clicking on videos with disturbing, egregious, disgusting or sexualized thumbnails even though they have nothing to do with the keywords I entered in the search box, I fully disagree. There are also algorithms at play in order to maximise social media site bottom lines.

Some social media do promote and amplify some forms of content, in spite of the user, because it's lucrative to do so for them, otherwise they would not do it.

If you browse the internet without an ad blocker, you'll see these ads on mainstream websites that are optimized for clicks the exact same way.
Many who argue for unchecked market systems also dispute the validity of IP, because it is viewed as a destructive intervention from the state rather than a market system.

WiFi has been used this way for 15 years to aid with approximate location queries. I don’t think concerns with the technology are unjustified, but referring to it as abuse is unnecessarily histrionic. This type of use for radios is not unprecedented, and eg the “central” database you refer to is only central in any meaningful sense if their implementation ends up being flawed. Otherwise is an encrypted repository of user data.

I remember discovering that you could do a fresh install of XP or 98SE on a blank drive from CD from the upgrade media.

At some point it would eject and ask you to put in the Windows you were upgrading from, and you could just put the same CD back in and it happily counted it.

>I think it's a bit reductionist to say it's devoid of purpose and meaning

Probably he is old-fashioned and means the coventional old-style purpose and meaning, that old-timey thing that we'd call "actual purpose" nowadays.

Some backward people don't understand that "being isolated and doom scrolling all day" or "getting tons of destructive cosmetic surgeries" or "Amway" can also be a torally fine purpose in life.
