AAA Games are being shipped with massive even gamebreaking bugs, that’s relatively new. I’ve completely given up on playing games on day 1.

Compare Cyberpunk 2077 on day 1 with 10 year older games like GTA 5, The last of US etc and it’s amazing how terrible Cyberpunk was when it shipped.

Or look within series, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2024) vs Batman: Arkham Origin (2013) and if you’re just look at day 1 there’s no contest. Worse Suicide Squad got worse after a patch. https://gamerant.com/suicide-squad-game-update-incursion-mis...

I disagree on the banking software side of things. One of the ATM’s near me takes 10-15 seconds between every single screen and it asks several extra questions like if you want to blank the screen. It might look better from a feature checklist standpoint, but it’s faster to use the bank teller when getting cash.

Do people really still follow Martin Fowler, Uncle Bob and the rest of early naughts gang?

It is true that few of these people ever actually made anything. Somehow, they got famous for working on a boring internal project for Chrysler.

I agree with the author that people seem to crave "controversy" (perhaps absurdity as well). Fortunately I think it is getting better. Peak nonsense probably occurred about 12 years ago.
Yeah fuck cancer.
Exactly why I have been calling for all shareholders to be held criminally responsible.
> Adobe Flash.

The fact that it got killed is literally an example of software being worse now than 10 years ago, thousands of fantastic little games were implemented in Flash, this was an easy way to create and distribute games causing many little labors of love being made, and then the deliberate choice was made to kill it.

Fortunately the ruffle project revived many of those games now.
Yes, that's a nonstandard function provided by v8, so it wouldn't work on Firefox. [1]

This can be worked around by just constructing an Error and taking it's stack property, captureStackTrace is just a convenience function, so hopefully they can fix that.

It started in the 70s, which is in the Wikipedia page. Bulgaria did not meaningfully have 'perestroika' which you can google your way to. I don't think I have to reason anything away if you're simply unfamiliar with the history - you can just look it up or at a minimum, read the links we're talking about.
Boeing is justifiably facing the heat but I hope people's attention starts to turns to the airlines as well. They have been cost cutting on maintenance, personnel and basic training for far too long, and now the results are plain to see.

What is the going rate for a bucket of cicadas?

The logistics of transportation sound tricky. Am I scooping up dead cicadas? If live, transporting the bulk intact is going to be fun. I am imagining broke teenagers balancing squirming buckets on a bike handlebars.
Off-topic, but the title confused me a bit - "...I built at work." Doesn't this imply that the intellectual property for this project belongs to your employer, assuming you used resources from work? If so, are you technically allowed to open-source it?

This is what makes all of capitalism deplorable - and sometimes criminal.

Why would you think I want anarchy? I want a public park. A protocol as free as the old web and BitTorrent.

Gab attracted its group because it was the anti-Reddit. People banned from Reddit went there. Of course it was filled with anarchy and racism.

I don't want all of our protocols and platforms to have a higher class of user with God mode. That's inequitable, and that's what Masto is today. And Reddit. And HN. And every other centralized platform.

I'm a moderate centrist and I get censored by everybody. The right, the left. People want to shut you up unless you agree with them. And often times it's not about silencing harm, but rather power tripping. People get off on that.

More than anything, I'm deeply afraid of censorship. It's a real and very slippery slope. You might think you're the one getting to pick and choose the topics today, but very quickly that will escape you.

I've also experienced this on windows. I don't understand how the new version of teams, which Microsoft was pushing so hard for people to move to from "classic" teams, could be so much less usable. The "classic" version was usable and I experienced few issues, never close to the extent of issues that teams was often maligned as having, but this new version is a clear step backward in functionality.
No comment on how significant this is, but here's a link to the actual research: https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/33/16/9439/7219677
Nowadays, the way it is handled in Australia is significantly different, for two reasons (1) we have a national disability insurance scheme (NDIS), under which the federal government funds lifelong care for the disabled, irrespective of how the disability was acquired (accident, medical negligence or natural causes) (2) whereas in most American states tort law reform is merely a topic of perennial debate in which little actually changes, Australian states enacted major tort reform which significantly capped personal injury payouts. A big motivation for that was to control their own medico-legal risk due to the extensive public health systems they operate

Nothing.

Insurance is not a factor in valuation of real estate. Whether or not something can be insured is merely a question of whether it is profitable to do so to the insurance company. You don't factor into the equation, neither does the value of your possession.

I worked at Rocketdyne in the late 2000's (not a rocket scientist, just a junior Unix tech). Even then the company was just a shell of its former glory. But there was a certain pride in the air and a ton of rich history all over the place. I loved when I had to go fix workstations at the Canoga Park facility and would get lost on purpose just to check it out. It was a pretty dreadful place to work overall, though.
If not, my next question would be: what kind of process do you need to go through to sell a company in Germany? :)
It's hard to imagine von Neumann not being great today (I think some stories are probably made up, but he was obviously in the top 1 minds of his era), but it is probably true that the "easy" stuff has been mined - where I would define easy as things that can stem from an application of brains around the coffee table rather than intense application of years of whittling at the conference stage.
von Neumann was the genius's genius.

Even the people a at Los Alamos had a suspicion that von Neumann operated on a different level from themselves.

From wikipedia:

Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe said "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man".[29] Edward Teller observed "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."
FAISS can be used with OpenAI embeddings (and any other embedding model).

FAISS is technology for fast indexed similarity vector search - using it is an independent decision from which model you use to create those vectors.
Bootstrap a pvalue by creating a set of thousands of random words, calculate the metric for those and either explicitly keep these numbers to compute the rank, or fit some normal distribution and use this mean and std to estimate the probability that it's similar.
This uses a flawed RSA implementation which is vulnerable to timing attacks:

https://deps.rs/repo/github/rpgp/rpgp#vulnerabilities

There is a reason why crypto primitives handling key material -- especially RSA and AES -- are not written in higher-level languages.
The library which runs your ML model will do multithreading. Depending on model size, it may perform the best when passed multiple samples at a time to process. For this reason, it can be useful to implement "micro batching", which combines multiple samples from independent requests into batches that are processed together. In such a model one would have n_processes << n_cpus. Which tends to help with RAM usage also.
We had ATMs that could take deposits in the 1970s, and machines that accepted checks without deposit slips appeared in the mid-1980s. The only thing we gained in ATM technology in the last 30 years is laggy touchscreens and waiting forever for the transaction to finish.

I'm skeptical that an at most 25k€ recovery would alleviate weariness of a big software contract without additional due diligence.

It seems to me that a sole proprietorship would do more to protect against counterparty risk, i.e. more of the person's assets would be available to satisfy the debt.

My guess is that counterparties prefer a limited liability partner to arguably insulate themselves from employment liabilities.

The whole purpose of End to End testing is that your testing the system in a real state. It's an emulation of your live environment. Because of that you can do interesting things like find out what happens if you pull the plug or run out of disk or ....

The moment that you shove a mock in there, your unit testing. Effective but not the same. One of the critical points of E2E is that without mocks you know that your tests are accurate. Because this isnt Postgres I'm testing it every time and not that system.

>> Can someone elaborate on where/when/how this is better?

If your building PG for an embedded, light weight, or under powered system then this would make sense for verification testing before real E2E testing that would be much slower. (a use case I have)

Other than that its just a cool project and if you ever need a PG shim it's there.

> The question is "when?". Wayland is 15 years old, it already had a lot of time to "get better". So today, in most cases, I'd say X11 is still the way to go, it just works better.

If you run more than one monitor with different DPI, Wayland is the only choice. If you want to do HDR, Wayland will be the only choice.

> When Wayland will get better and apps start supporting Wayland more than they support X11, it will be the time to switch, but at the glacial pace Wayland advances, chances are that your current system will be obsolete when it will happen.

Toolkit developers are already considering removing their X11 code paths. All of the effort is going into Wayland. The best time to switch was a few years ago. The second best time to switch is now.

Same old shit.

It seemed really promising until you needed to sign in before you could browse the pages.

Ever since then the vast majority of good people's postings could no longer be seen by literally hundreds of millions of potentially interested visitors (and growing), but there was no trouble at all to begin with back when it was a regular internet website.

Definitely less than 10% as useful as we know it could be, because the other 90% was once accessible, and it would be easy to fix because it started out worthwhile, and gave posters a much much wider platform.

Enshittifiers gonna enshittify.
Sure, but deadlines. And game hacks are fun!
I read Haskell code structurally and don't pronounce symbols in my head.

When it comes to names, the binding and lexical scope and position in the AST helps me read the code more than the English pronunciation.

Tbh if I have a stream of English words in my head reading Haskell, it's probably already meh code at best :S

I'd say I see more Haskell code made unreadable due to over-naming than under-naming in the wild (i.e. industry)
Brilliant argument against centralization of the web
The impression I got from the last time I was in Germany (some ~7 years ago), there's a going concern among at least some people that a certain ethnicity of immigrants is "taking over". This might be a pearl-clutching minority, or I may have completely misread the situation.
Yes, for the most part things work as I would expect them to.

I think software has actually gotten much more user friendly to the point where for existing computer users, using a new app is usually quite intuitive.

Feelings of dissatisfaction are likely due from having higher expectations.
> I haven't noticed this behavior in such extreme ways as you.

I should have clarified that it really depends on the model. I have had this problem to a greater extent with the GTE and BGE embeddings. But I use them anyway, because they’re so strong overall.

PCA is an interesting idea, and worth looking at.
> "[hallucinating] a DJ software skin" to claim as a business expense

I don't think he's claiming a hallucinated skin as a business expense. Rather he's saying the Turbotax UI has some slider in it, and he hallucinates that Turbotax is instead DJ software, and he slides that slider around like a DJ would slide a sound modulator slider around, arriving at a fraudulent number.
Increased impact sensitivity in old high explosives extracted from war remnants
I’m not sure you can really categorize rust as a high level language, unless you’re stating crypto primitives should only be written in assembly.

EDIT: Given this attack was also applied to OpenSSL, amongst many others this high level language comment seems doubly odd/dubious

EDIT2: another rust TLS implementation was among only 3 that was initially verified to be not vulnerable as well..
> I fail to imagine a scenario where "getting married fast" is a requirement.

This rubs me the wrong way a bit, and it’s because it’s clearly quite obvious there are many reasons you’d want to get married fast (emergency health issues, unplanned pregnancies, visa issues, etc etc. can come up with a million reasons easily).

You are really asking in a very ungracious way why doesn’t everyone just simply live like an ideal German.
Why this fascination with Delaware? How are Delaware corps different from other states' corps?

Is the delay ostensibly to ensure the identities of the parties, and that's why it takes longer if any foreigners are involved? I could well imagine it being unconscionable for Germans to aver something they were not yet certain of.

Ignoring the fact that shipping broken games is a business decision, not a technical one, what is the point of cherry picking examples? Why not consider ET for the SNES or plenty of other broken games from the past?

Besides the amount of software in a modern game vs something from the 80s is so insane that often something like an 80s arcade game is an easter egg.
100% this, I know several folks in the aviation maintenance biz for the big airlines, and they were shocked at how much they started cutting back, I want to say it started in 2017/2018. A lot of the older experienced folks had enough and just retired.
Isn't this a CFM or SWA problem? Boeing doesn't make the engines or maintain them.
Everyone will be middle class again. The present societal consternation is coming from the gap between the middle class and the upper middle class. The middle class Virginia town where I grew up isn’t unaffordable for regular people because of Jeff Bezos. It’s because the town is now full of Google employees and lawyers. And soaring education costs are the result of an arm’s race trying to get into the upper middle class, since that’s what it takes to maybe be able to buy a house where you grew up.

Knowledge workers are the ones creating that gap, and places without them are a lot better for ordinary people. Consider somewhere like Iowa, which is very flat economically because there’s no knowledge work. The median income is a bit lower than say New Jersey. But in practice life is better. You can buy a house for 3-4x the median income, because there’s no Amazon engineers pushing you out of the way.

Marx always emphasised the general law of capitalist accumulation: no matter what temporary victories a local population might win (wage increases, stable housing, free education and healthcare, etc.), as long as Capital continues to dominate the social world, people will always be enslaved to the conditions of the market, and every effort will be made to extract as much surplus value as possible, since its what produces the most productivity and profit in the capitalist system.
Yeah cowlings are removed very regularly for maintenance and this plane is the previous model so it's bound to be a number of years old. That cowling will have been taken apart many times. Maintenance is more likely, or perhaps some foreign object impact.

The MCAS issues and the poor QC on those plug bolts are unforgivable but it's too early to point the finger at Boeing for this.
Yes and the dark arcana here is that we are also the universe in the very sense you describe (secrets, bend-able to wills), and therefore susceptible to various extents depending on how stochastic we can appear to behave (and the computational limits of the analyzer). There will be future religions around this stuff: you literally need to have constitutional fortitude and gumption to avoid the dragnets. All plain social levers are already compromised for the uninitiated! Trying to get friends and family to get off iPhone so they can use Briar is impossible, and even just doing a King Solomon and splitting the baby at Session is ****ing harder than it ever should be. I feel like I am a human in a sheep's body, in a herd of sheep who can only grasp sheep concepts, BUT EVERYBODY IS HUMAN!

I think a lifetime of ADHD -> communication and reputation failure, and that I will probably need to earn at least double everyone to recover said reputation (or slice, dice, and restart, which is also deeply expensive).
As these accidents happen, I just hope nothing major happens. It just goes to show how well engineered these are and a lot of airplanes can land safely with one of the engines. Still the build quality in everything has gone down and airplanes aren’t an exception apparently.
At least KOTOR2 was salvaged with the TSLRCM mod, one of the best stories for a video game ever, and certainly the best story to come out of the entire Star Wars franchise...
Not the engines but they do make the cowlings afaik. Also they sell the plane as a whole so they're responsible for it even if they didn't make every part in house.

But yeah it's really unlikely to be a Boeing issue and much more likely a maintenance or external issue.
Mostly, it’s that Delaware’s corporate law is more developed so investors have more certainty of what they are getting; this is also a self-reinforcing condition, since the preference for Delaware corps means more corporate issues get resolved under Delaware law.
