An alternative perspective for consideration:

The very act of remembering something embeds it deeper into memory versus control-r "something", oh yeah that, enter. I'm cognizant that this is roughly the same argument as "google is making us dumber" which it's just "for your consideration" and not an axiom

And shell is one of those DSLs folks speak so highly of, in that one can build up a vocabulary that is meaningful to you, or your team, or your line of business in ways that "here's my .bash_history good luck" type sharing doesn't. Most good unix-y tools support hooks based on the script name to extend common systems with other verbs: brew, git, kubectl, and likely more

So, if one needs to remember the 5 distinct commands to cut a release, why not put them in .gitlab/scripts/run-release versus "oh, I think Jane runs that, ask her to look in her shell history"

Merely as a bit of ancedata, I have two forms of shell history suppression: $(ln -sf /dev/null .bash_history) and the almighty $(export HISTIGNORE=both) which allows me to prefix commands with a space in order to keep them out of even the local shell session's history. I am pretty disciplined about doing it for destructive commands so the inadvertent up-arrow+enter doesn't go off the rails

I've also had great luck with "poor person's dry run" as in

N=echo
for i in ...; do
$N something destructive "$i"
done

eyeball the output, then N="" and run it for reals

I wouldn’t go that far but there is a teachable moment here. It goes to show how little engineers actually read PRs/MRs these days…it’s just become a rubber stamp at this point. This is not a problem specific to X, I’d wager a lot on that. It’s a widespread cultural problem in our industry. Remember XZ?
I think you'll find there's a wide space between "do nothing to prevent" and "prevents all" and, depending on the sport and helmet design, helmets live mostly in that space.

Gridiron football has large, quick people starting facing each other, often getting hit from the blind-side, and no helmet is going to prevent all (or even most) concussions in those situations, which is part of why the NFL has (very belatedly) attempted to address things with rules changes.

Sports that involve being intentionally hit in the head repeatedly (like MMA or boxing) are going to be much worse. You still see people wearing helmets in friendly sparring matches for those sports because it can prevent freak-accident concussions that happen in such a context.
> Intel Gaudi 3 has more interconnect bandwidth than this has memory bandwidth.

LPDDR5 vs HBMe2. I'm guessing there's a 2-5x price difference between those, but even so it's an interesting choice, I don't know any other accelerators which spec DDR. But yeah, without exact TCO numbers it's hard to compare exactly.
We've had 45 years of GDP increase not being reflected in wages, who cares if the economy is "stagnant" if the people making it happen aren't seeing the benefit.
> Rousey had suffered so many concussions in judo that she knew her brain could not withstand multiple more blows to the head.

Perhaps it's a background in science, but whenever I read a sentence like that I always expect to find it ending with a footnote linking to the reference demonstrating some evidence for the claim that's just been made.

Then I remember that a journalist (or her [sub]editor) doesn't need to bother with stuff like that.

A pity, really.
I will never understand this
Outside of Chinese-made vehicles the US has probably the most open auto import market in the world. Most manufacturers enjoy a 2.5% tariff, which is a joke, and not reciprocated anywhere in the world. All these foreign manufacturers are selling $25-50K+ cars just fine (over 4 million of them every year in fact). It's the US market that is rejecting lower priced cars.
I am an immigrant from the US to the socialist hellhole of Finland, and it's quite delightful here.

Have you seen the scripts in question? Are you in any kind of way able to make such a value judgement over this persons work? Have you considered the impact of your choice of words on others?
> VMs like Python and Java require huge effort to embed.

As a (backend) Java dev, I couldn't let that stand. And indeed I found out java now offers a tool called jlink with first class support, that will create a system native (e.g. .dmg on my macbook) executable with the JRE embedded. The javafx example project* I found could be downloaded, built and run from its native release all within less than 5 minutes.

Mind you the Hello World example executable is 80mb and takes 6 seconds to start, but I feel like with the garbage we are used to in regards to desktop applications, this totally holds up -doesn't everything else usually bundle all of chrome? I have also read there are simple command line options to reduce the size to about 50mb.

Kind of, not really though. You can't patent the same thing again.

> 35 U.S.C. 101 has been interpreted as imposing four requirements: (i) only one patent may be obtained for an invention;

You need to improve upon it and have a new claim.

If I was to patent A and make it, and then patent B which improves upon A at some point in the future, when A's patent expires someone else can make A and if they show that they're making A and not B, there's nothing I can do about it.

The issue is that often B is better than A (why make a 223,898 light bulb when you can make a 425,761 light bulb?) so while you could make A, its not commercially viable to do so.

The thing is that I've got a research line looking at making improvements on B and patenting C later which is a further improvement on B. The investment of time, knowledge, and resources to be able to do refinements of A to make B, C, and later D - that's where it's hard to get into it.

Someone else could improve on A to make B' and if it was different than how I did B, they could patent that. Though in the real world, this often involves in hiring away people who are familiar with A and investing a lot of time / money into making a B' that might get interpreted by the courts as too similar to B.
Have been using various Kobo's for years with KOReader now, it's basically as simple as copying files on the device to install it. There is no need to jailbreak it; it's an open device. Also, I haven't heard any mention of covert update to worry about. So yes, I would absolutely recommend a Kobo for your use case.

A few months ago, I attempted to do install KOReader on a kindle, and the experience is definitely not for the faint of heart. Plus, I can't use the wireless capabilities for the reason you mentioned. It was (one) of the reason I wanted to install KOReader in the first place, but live and learn.

They don't. It's visually impressive: look how hard we're all working! But it's impossible that they're getting more than a pittance of useful output after hour 50 or so.

You've got a guy sitting at his desk at 8:55PM on a Saturday night. Impressive. We all know he hasn't been doing anything worthwhile since some time back on Thursday, and you've been wasting electricity on him afterward.

3 players on my daughter's lacrosse team are out with concussions. I really hope helmets get mandated; for various reasons nobody wants to be the only player in a helmet.

[edit]

I'm also glad there's data; one reason the players are resistant to the idea of a helmet is that they fear that reduced visibility would lead to increased injury.

I don't understand the question about empty values. A row with there empty values is just:

And yeah, dealing with separators is annoying, but pretty much every reader supports quoted values and escapes (not every writer cares up add them, though).

In practice I use csv to process large amount of tabular data (like logs, events, etc) where I care about greppability and performance more than about potential for 0.001% of corrupted data. YMMV of course, if getting it 100% right is important use something else (JSON is not without sins too, consider that JSON numbers are often parsed as floats).
I feel like the Wikipedia article is demonizing the Chinese companies without enough citations of what they're asserting (I was expecting a lot of citations of how the whole thing is still being practiced in 2024...), while the reality is like what you describe, of presentism and being unproductive for a lot of time...
I've always wondered, do these work? As in - is the production of the 996 workers more, less, or equal to those working 40 hour weeks?

Did it arise out of some data-driven research, or is it mostly just the result of cargo-culting, where one successful company had such hours/schedule, and the other companies just followed suit?
I assume that all professional athletes are on PEDs of some sort (I read awhile back that essentially all tennis players are on some heart medication that is allowed and they probably don't all have a heard condition). I don't think they care about what is legal, just what is detectible. The incentives are just too big for them to abstain.
This is wildly misinformed, and I'm curious of your "source". I presume it's nowhere near as reputable as stuff coming out of places such as the VA Tech Helmet Lab.

Unions and labor regulations are important components of arriving at the desired outcome. You have to keep pulling the policy ratchets to reduce the work week and bolster worker protections, otherwise capitalism will extract until there is nothing left.
Safety and other regulations still apply.
The E-Ink Spectra 6 displays [1] released last year has full color gamut, thus beating any other display technology in an outdoors scenario. The problem is that they take something like 12 seconds to refresh and I haven't seen any consumer devices using them.

In the near future I think spectra displays will be excellent for readers when they manage to get the refresh a bit more speedy, while ironically the B&W displays with color filters will be the E-Ink technology suited for tablets and phones in general.

Not just self-respect, law. In particular, FDR's New Deal. 40 hours, overtime, unemployment insurance, social security, right to unionize, and more.

Capital interests have been working hard to erode these over the last 80 years with notable success, but the importance of legislative victories cannot be understated. Early 20th century labor relations were egregious all around the world, and they did not improve because capitalists developed a conscience. Many places went straight socialist. We saw how that went. In America, we didn't need socialism because we had Roosevelts. This worked out better for all involved.

We could probably use another Roosevelt.
I boxed a lot from 11-14. It was what my group of friends did for fun -- boxed each other as well as trained in a professional setting under a coach. There was this one kid in particular that was known to be a troublemaker. I was hanging with some friends and that troublemaker was there.

The neighbor (a grown man) was hanging outside when the troublemaker started trash talking the guy for no reason. "Put the gloves on and box me, p*y!" After about 10 minutes of that, the guy agreed. Punched the kid a few times in the head. He was done.

We walked down into town and the kid asked us how we got there. He had no recollection of us walking down the street. Scary stuff. From then on, he became even worse. Last I knew he was in jail.

I'll never forget that. The headaches I got after sparring were eye openers and I quit. Jiu-Jitsu is much friendlier in regards to your brain, but probably worse for your spine, elbows, and knees... Have to train something, though. Nobody should be the gardener in a war.
This is why core technology shouldn't be proprietary IP. It should all be open source.
> And then the increase in local taxes to try to compensate for the mass costs

I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but our local taxes have gone up by a big percentage over the past several years. They say they haven't raised our taxes, but since valuations go up, our taxes go up... by thousands of dollars.
I like that layers of responsibility theory, and applaud you if you live your life by it.

One thing I would amend for myself - I don't think I feel as though I have responsibility to the environment in and of itself. I am an environmentalist, but that follows from my duty to the human race. The earth will keep on earthing either way.
In Brazil, BYD sells this car not as Seagull, but as Dolphin Mini. But, directly converting currencies, it's more like U$23.000, not U$10.000 as is being announced everywhere.
Can you provide some examples? There have always been companies where certain opinions were deemed "controversial" and could get someone fired. I think it's more common now though, and with more opinions being considered controversial, but I can't think of any that would be considered scientific facts. I wouldn't want to work for a company that considers science controversial anyway.
European safety and environmental standards are much higher than here.
Get Tech Out of the Classroom Before It's Too Late
(Side note, it seems weird that they are just now publishing this article when this was news 2 or 3 months ago?).

That being said, I noticed this with the apartment I am renting now. I checked daily and noticed the price was changing on a daily basis, I highly doubt this was done by a human. I ended up emailing them saying something like, I noticed the price was going down could we rent it for a few hundred less than what it currently is (it was going down close to $100 a day or something like that) and they agreed. I assume at some point the price would start going up based on when they expect people to look.

It is really weird to see prices fluctuate that much.

I even start to wonder if they purposefully don't list available units to keep a perception of availability issues to encourage renting at higher price.
The only things that need to be carried on are things that you need for the first two days. After that your luggage will be found and you have it again. If you only travel for a 3 day trip then carry everything on. However for longer trips I like to have a weeks worth of clothing (particularly if it is personal so I don't have to spend time and money at a laundromat). It is very nice to have a weeks worth of clothing but not have to carry it all with me on the plane.

Actually on the way home I prefer if my luggage is lost as then they deliver it to my house for me instead of my having to carry it.
I'm hoping for an opt out.

> "Four countries is one country" is very different from "50 states is one country".

I don't think you made a very compelling argument. Both are made of constituent parts. Both are "united" in various ways. States have their own constitutions, laws etc. It's messy. Fewer issues around language, I grant that.
This is absolutely completely wrong. No music service supports FairPlay aside from Apple Music. Why would they?

Music you buy from all services is DRM free and music you stream is only in the apps and have no need to support FairPlay. None of the music subscription services allow you to download music and use outside of the app.

Even the ability to play movies bought in one store and being available in another store as a purchased item is supported via MoviesAnywhere integration and not FairPlay.

It sounds like Parens is proposing a centralized mutual fund for closed-source license subscriptions. I'm going to disagree and say I'd rather not have a central authority behind this. Developers should be empowered to sell closed-source licenses, support, documentation, examples, etc. themselves as individuals. As a counter proposal I'd rather have code hosting services and package managers offer better monetization tools because that is more decentralized.

Just to join in the kobo love thread:

One reason that I love my Kobo is perhaps very tech-specific in a way this audience may appreciate.

It's great for plain text files. In particular, it's pretty good at reading plain RFCs. I have to choose a font size so the hard-wrapped RFCs fit right, and it doesn't ship with a monospaced font (but you can install and use your own fonts, so that's a minor speed bump).

Reading very dry and technical documents like RFCs can be challenging, so having a distraction-free ereader that handles them can be very helpful.
From that perspective, we would prefer to focus efforts on securing the Proton account as much as possible. There are two actions the user can already take.

> The only dividends that can get taxed like capital gains are qualified dividends and they’re very rare

"A dividend is considered qualified if the shareholder has held a stock for more than 60 days in the 121-day period that began 60 days before the ex-dividend date."[1]

I don't know where you got the idea that they're rare. You literally have to hold a US stock for a few months and any dividends from it are qualified.

> How does that fit in your theory?

This is the reason why Chinese products are beating everyone else, and it's also a reason why we need to impose tariff on Chinese products made by workers in inhumane working conditions, e.g. 996.
On the other hand, the main reason the landlords using RealPage were not raising rent, seemingly, when they could, was vibes.
The problem can be even more immediate. Person 2 (a junior or intern) is given the normally mundane task to go through the code base and replace pandas with foozle, a faster, but less mature alternative. They try to replace the pd.read_csv() calls with foozle's equivalent, say fz.read_csv(). So, pd.read_csv("csvbase://") becomes fz.read_csv("csvbase://"). Only, Foozle hasn't implemented fsspec and person 2 doesn't know anything about it either. Fun times.
China actually adopted the 8-hour workday in 1930 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day#China). The 996 policy is a regression which needs to be fought by organized labor, the same way organized labor had to fight (and sometimes die) to get the 8-hour workday.
I didn't know you could do that! I've only been using it as intended.

True but there is no way it would be implemented in such a half-assed way at any other big company (including pre-Musk Twitter).

Stuff like this makes it obvious that the people who are still there no longer give a fuck, they just do what they are told with the minimum effort required to collect the paycheck.
> A debit doesn't have some intrinsic meaning about the "flow of money".

But it does. "Debit" is an English word with an established meaning in common usage. It means to take money out of an account. It is related to the word "debt" which is something that decreases the net worth of the debtor and increases the net worth of the creditor. If you overpay a bill, the (positive) difference between what you paid and what you owed is a credit on your account, and can be used just like money to pay your next bill.
What you imagine or feel is irrelevant - if the housing you were in wasn't an Airbnb, it'd likely be occupied by a permanent resident.

That person, for better or worse, would be part of a community and contribute to it.

At some point, a community resembles swiss-cheese because so many people who would otherwise be in the community are absent because the housing they'd live in is absent. AirBNB's are just one part of this equation though.
Doesn’t have to be this way though. We’re not obligate carnivores, you can eat no animal product for decades and be just fine.
