There are roughly two perspectives on that.

"Gee, these industrial clusters are super rare and delicate! We have to make the conditions as favourable for them as possible"..

"This company is making lots of money but I disagree how they are doing it! We should force them to behave in a way that is more in line with how everyone else does things. All these big companies are the same and the wealth isn't going to go anywhere".

Europe puts a barriers in place that will kill off an entrepreneur's dream here or there. They only have to kill one or two key companies to do trillions of dollars of self-harm (which is what they appear to have done). In fact, everyone does this just to a greater or lesser degree; for example we can see how much prosperity China's manufacturing created with less blockers than in the USA leading to a few key industrial clusters.
That’s pretty wild. What was the reason behind failing ethics review?

I'm speechless, honestly. Are you seriously bragging about the sheer amount of scrolling animations and other useless but highly annoying bling that you've managed to spring onto the poor visitors of the website? Because, yes, that is a truly impressive amount of it, but the only thing I can take away from it all is that you don't care about usability.

Dear god, just watching some of those videos is painful. Like when trying to scroll literally two lines of text on the screen instead highlights them word by word and pops up icons to "illustrate" each word: https://twitter.com/Stammy/status/1779867509388165203. I don't think I've seen a website condescendingly "speaking slow" to a user before...

You definitely can get Google to mark one of your Keep notes as the designated "shopping list" and then add items at the top of it when you ask it to, it works pretty well.
I don't think of myself as having good spatial reasoning, but it still works for me — note that if you look at the top part of the UI (in the grey box covering the map), the arrows are still relative to "you". So at least in the first few days of trying out this orientation, one could just rely on the arrows for turns, and use the rest of the map only to reinforce/build their spatial transformation (rotation) skills.
You can have multiple Google accounts.
Just make sure you use app-based 2FA on each so you don't get locked out.

More weight if you're in the 5th District. It doesn't set precedent in other districts.
They both are just fine. I hear people just go with which one they have the most experience in. Since I am starting from scratch, I'm trying Quasar/Vue. Since Flutter is Google's baby and React is kinda like Facebook's baby, I feel more independent with Quasar/Vue. If you made me choose between the Flutter or React native, I might choose flutter and try flutterflow(nocode).

You question his competence.

How do I rationalize this article with the casual observation that so much software is distributed software today, and generally it works? It’s an interesting state of affairs.
> I specifically stated space debris

Why is getting killed by space debris is less pleasant than getting killed by a meteorite?

The point is there is a background risk of sky-born peril. There is tremendous opportunity in putting things in orbit. Given the frequencies of any damage or injury from extra-atmospheric debris, of our or nature's making, it would be surprising if the marginal benefits gained from optimising for more safety would outweigh the opportunity cost.

We should look for cheap optimisiations that reduce the risk of peril. But eliminating the possibility is impossible; pursuing massive reductions in risk absurd.

I find it interesting how it probably evolved from "people on the citizen review board don't know what it means to police" to a moderate position of "why not add a retired policeman, so he can at least explain it to them?" to "fuck it, let's dismantle the whole thing"

This is nonsense. If you can send the data over to third party AI providers for transcription and summarization, you can just as well send it to anyone else who asks for it (e.g. government wiretap, advertisers) whilst removing the "anonymization" part. It doesn't matter that you cannot export the keys used to decrypt in-memory if you control the code that then processes the decrypted data.

It is not at all "similar to end-to-end encryption".
* You can use a Vector-like for the `uid_to_did` direction (be sure it doesn't copy on resize, and you may also want to prevent invalidation, so a 2-level vector is often a reasonable choice). Depending on design decisions the elements might want to be `Option<String>` instead of just `String`.

* You can get away with uint32 indexes. The interned indexes should local so this shouldn't be a problem even if you think you'll have more than 4 billion global users. (note: all social media combined only has that currently)

* For interned strings specifically it's embarrassingly simple to use a bump allocator for the string data itself.
I'm out of the loop on this. Could you point me in a certain direction where I could read about this?

bots pay for blue checkmarks, and they'll pay to tweet too. twitter needs the money to stay afloat, and elon doesn't really have a reason to say no

his initial concern over bots was twofold: 1) he desperately needed a way to get out of a deal he made on ~vibes~ instead of due-diligence 2) elon was a mega-famous account. The #1 thing that impacts QoL for mega-famous accounts is a 24/7 firehose of bot mentions and replies

Nonsense.

The war in Afghanistan ended because there was no way to achieve our goals there given the broad public support for the Taliban, not because we were running money out money. To the contrary, we spend more than ever on defense.

Neither will Ukraine give up once the cost of the war reaches some threshold. They will fight until they are physically unable to carry on, not simply unwilling to spend.

Same accountant we've used for years. I don't understand the "leaked your data" question, care to elaborate?

I’ve been slowly building my own take on how e-mail should work for me. The complexity of IMAP was frustrating until I realized I don’t like or want the mail readers that use it (and have since started on my own). It’s liberating to see life after Gmail (and Outlook) on the horizon.
I understand this as

"There was someone who forcefully wanted a change and I went along with it. But then the next word battle started. After this, next .. And now I learned from the situation, because no one will foole me twice"

I think there has been some experience with this kinds. I can also say, with my former employer, the new PR suddenly brought up this issue. Since then we needed to proofread everything and change our ways of thinking. I'm not against, let me say, woke-ness. Each argument starts with words and can end up in a war - so does discrimination, too.

But you can't rape a language and force everything to be gendered. And that's the problem;

Force.

So maybe this happened alike and is the missing context? May be there has been a war in the project between the wokers and the sleepers? Also, may be because of this, someone had been mobbed out, or, made shut up with force? ... Such discussions are healthy for both side :)
Quite frankly, I just assumed it was the US Government stockpiling for the increasing military escalations/soon-to-be wars happening.
I said harder. Like change your name hard.

One company I worked for hired a woman once who had a completely fraudulent identity and gave different identification entirely to the person we were interviewing/hired and she justified it to HR saying she was running away from an abusive relationship. Her paychecks were even different than the name in the employee directory!

We only found out long after she'd stopped working with us when she made the news for trying to murder a stranger while high on drugs. She had made the news and was on camera with a completely unfamiliar name to us.

Making Windows fast would require a from the ground rewrite. The only reason to use Windows is for legacy software titles which won't be ported to ARM. Even if the OS manages to be snappy, emulated X86 programs won't be so much.

Plus there are going to be drive letter names and problem with using "prn" as a file name, and other Windows nonsense that should have died a flaming death decades ago.

I have some Raspberry Pis that I self host stuff on. Gitlab on one, Runtipi on another, and pi-hole + Nginx + a game I made on a third. Some of it is publicly accessible on my own domains, but the only traffic I actually get is from myself.

I connect my Pis to my WiFi router and I've struggled with the adapters, so a POE switch might be interesting. I should containerize stuff, but I enjoy running it directly as well. I need to figure out backups some day.

The biggest issue I've had is that I've lost 3 SD cards in 6 years. Twice due to power failure, and once to heavy disk writes. I can't stand randomly losing stuff and having to re-setup a pi, so I switched to booting from USB SSDs. I haven't had an issue since. The cost is a bit obnoxious since I don't trust a cheap drives, but the perceived peace of mind is nice.

Has anyone else had this issues with losing SD cards while self hosting on Pis?

> Hitler and Germany could'a stopped there and likely been okay.

If Hitler had been Franco or Mussolini, then maybe. But racism and especially anti-semitism were integral parts of Nazi ideology. It wasn't principally about wealth or strategic objectives as we might recognise them. They really believed that the races of the earth were in a big struggle for resources and that if the "Aryan race" didn't exterminate or subjugate the others, it would risk extinction.

Your analysis seems to rest on the idea that Hitler was some brilliant politician that went nuts because he had too much power, but he was "nuts" way before he ever came into power.

Just like any other deep area of CS (databases, compilers, kernels, crypto, …) most people use a higher level system, abstraction, or library. You can build a distributed system on top of one of these things, but that doesn’t qualify you to implement (well) the core primitives. And I’d add, that compared to 10 years ago, a lot more people know the core stuff too.

Interest rates impact the cost of everything you buy.

Almost all large businesses are financing their operations on credit, not by spending down a war chest replenished with revenue. Large public companies borrow money against their remaining held stock to finance their operation. It is true that inflation impacts the base cost of the raw materials and labor but those costs are also more expensive because of the higher business loan interest rate to finance an operation. The extra financing cost is passed to the consumer.

The higher cost of financing drives layoffs too, companies will layoff when financing costs rise so they can stay cost neutral.
He emailed the evidence to the police:

“Waite emailed his recording of the call to the sheriff's office records department and requested an internal investigation. A month later, Waite was accused of five counts of illegal wiretapping for recording the conversation with the sergeant and four other calls with sheriff’s employees.“
Highly inspiring! Will share with my team (and I don't do that often!)

It seems that Etak was to navigation systems what Jodorowsky's Dune was to 1980s sci-fi: a trail blazing endeavour that was wild and wildly innovative, did not fulfill its intended mission but rather set up an entire field for subsequent success.

Also: the design must have included several masterpieces when considering the state of tech in the 1980s: even seeking to the right point on the map cassette is an untrivially hard problem.
We didn't have any interaction with that team. Interplay was just the publisher, the developer was outrage Entertainment in Ann Arbor Michigan. This is back when 10 programmers seemed like a pretty big team for a game.
Yep, I missed that. I definitely have hit cases where having a larger window of infrastructure metrics has been very useful. Being able to correlate it against other observability factors can help to understand what caused a problem. But I agree that you don't have to keep it forever. I think a few weeks is fine, assuming the scale of the system doesn't mean that a few weeks is an unwieldy amount of data

What does that have to do with "shrinking thing on silicon wafers" ? This isn't really even new technology. Welding and cutting lasers have been around for a while.

Society 5.0: A Japanese Concept for a Superintelligent Society (2021)
Minimalism seems like a natural reaction to things getting so cheap that you can litter your home with stuff every paycheck. On the other side, it seems like some process getting out of hand. From the initial reward of tidying and delittering, people remove too much stuff.

I moved last year and for this purpose, I created a little command line utility to track every single item. Of course I have much more. But it forced me to reconsider every item. I let go of many items and now, for example, all my tools are tracked and localized. When I need to fix something I can query to find out where they are.

The main benefit to me it that I buy and sell stuff deliberately as I have to record or delete it in the database.

inside the TB link there's no such thing as "3.0" or "x4"

hector goes over this as well, but basically you've replaced all the lower (physical) layers of PCIe's networking stack. intel like to pretend that thunderbolt and USB4 just tunnel actual PCIe links unchanged (as if they're emulating everything down the PCIe lanes and PHYs), but they don't. PCIe over thunderbolt can run at whatever speed you please, limited only by the throughput of TB and the overhead of the remaining layers of the PCIe stack.
