I was a full time perl coder with plenty of regex back in the day and never appreciated that (sorry) - so maybe making it the default is a good call

PS. raku has added quite a lot to the regex facilities we are familiar with, not least a straight line to using them in Grammars with rule and token methods that give you control over handling of whitespace in the target
In general it's possible for electrons to jump to sub-orbitals which gives them a wider band of wavelengths that they can emit and absorb photons. The jumps between sub-orbitals are usually in microwave or radio bands.
Ref [1] says that extending the use of the plants until March 31. could help reduce prices by the Merit-order effect. This extension is exactly what Habeck did: The life time was extended! So this is complete bullshit and already debunked completely by more serious German media.
I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.

> At 5 bucks a customer, you need 200k new ones a year to break a million bucks.

But at $5 per user Apple is already much more expensive below the million threshold. It gets worse after a million, but it's already costing you tens of thousands before that. And again, you are comparing with one of the most expensive option on the market!

> after taxes, insurance and overhead that's 40-60k take home for a CS agent

Which, almost anywhere in the world, is more than you need to hire someone full time to work on your customer support! And no, what Apple provides is definitely not superior to a full time consumer support person.

The “value” that you pay for when dealing with Apple is access to their walled-off user base.

> the open question is "do I do enough business to negotiate with apple

This isn't an “open question”, it's a closed one: Apple isn't going to talk to you unless they think not giving you special treatment would get them antitrust issues. In your case or mine, it's not gonna happen.
Sure (and I'm not sure if that's actually how it works), but the border control also physically stops someone from leaving after they've overstayed. If someone has overstayed, they just go to the airport and hop on a plane with no consequences.
We are indeed thinking about how to do that in a way that feels natural in VS Code. :)
Yup, but they are also basically powering solar power everywhere. Hence the "if"; my hope is that their elite is not married to fossil fuels like the economic elites in the US and Canada.

Yes, but surely you can see the similarities in both name and use case.

By itself it seems innocuous but coupled with the blatant misuse of the term "Open-source", fake reviews and rather strange commit history, you can maybe understand why one might assume some malintent, or at least, somewhat shady intent.

> If only intelligent life can have this conversation then it will always be "but why us?!?!" well, it was random

"It was random" in my opinion explains little. If it was sentient, maybe the dice would say "why did I land showing my '6' face? Why me?" and the answer would be many other dice landed showing their '6' faces. Random, but given enough dice rolling you'll get another '6'.

The universe is finite but it's mind-boggingly large. I think Earth is special because a- I was born there, enough said, and b- it has just the right conditions and luck for life to exist. But I don't think it's so special that it's the only planet in the whole mind-boggingly large universe to be this way. There must be other planets/dice rolling out there.

Until we find another such planet we cannot know for certain, but in my opinion it seems unlikely that these conditions don't exist anywhere else but on Earth. Why? Well, because the universe is so large -- the dice pool is very, very large.
I would have bought some velcro strips with adhesive and stuck it to the side of the box. lol
Have you tried this with "chain of thought"?
Burdensome restrictions on AI seem poised to benefit entrenched players and government. On that we agree.

I am terrified of the societal implications of AI to the extent I am plotting out short stories.

The author of the linked tweet seems to think AI can do no harm and there is nothing to worry about. Bad actors can't abuse AI for bioweapons research, or to develop misinformation. And there is no chance that an AI technology could make itself better unassisted.

I'll follow up on their position but it seems naive or disingenuous in the extreme.
All of this assumes you work in an org that wants to change.

Most F500 corps don’t want to bother. “Good” engineers usually find work else where while all that’s left is the grinders and people getting ready to retire.

I remember working for an org/team and were on “sprint 500”. Sprints lasted 2 weeks. Team would largely just chill for the 5-6 days of the sprint then the rest of the 2 days were left grinding away at whatever bullshit was thrown into the sprint.

All management cared about was “did burn chart go down?” If yes, they didn’t bother following up. If no, then get nasty questions from project manager. I remember the scrum manager just manipulating the chart by moving out items to the next sprint. Or closing out the issue and creating a part 2 or 3 for the next sprint.

Some good and bad times.
> I'd love a consumer (price) level NAS where the OS can be ripped out and replaced with some vanilla OS/kernel.

Are there any good options today? I keep thinking of picking up a NAS, but I really do not want to use a proprietary vendor OS that might feel entitled to scan my data for useless/hostile cloud integrations. Or might have left some hardcoded password backdoors.

Interesting. I don't think the AI code generation will live up to developer expectations, but I do see the value in "project management for developers". The value I see with workspace is not the code generation, but the ability to help developers organize their thoughts.
The title actually means "How do GPS receivers receive signals from the GPS satellites?" It's not about other satellites communicating with GPS satellites.

TL;DR: They use special-purpose antennas.

It's worth a lot less in a hypothetical scenario where everyone's decided its in their best interests to forget all about it, which may be similar to the scenario we're currently in.

In politics, the truth isn't usually worth very much, and is second fiddle to the ends.
you're right, no top level logic would help you settle on any specific price, hence you need to engage with actual reality instead of simply noticing one party that benefits while ignoring the other that also "ultimately benefits" and "needs the platform to run apps on".

You, of course, want to be their feudal lord and get access to all their customers by right while also requiring them to pay a tithing of their hardware sales to you since you advance "their ultimate benefit" (they wouldn't sell any hardware without software)
Intentional. The pilot was very good at it and his airplane, a highly-modified 170, had exceptional performance.
Sure, but were those super smart planners, strategists, and analysts just providing plans, strategy, and analysis that Obama already agreed with? Romney saw Russia for what it was in 2012 - Obama/Romney vote percents in 2012 was 51/47, a fairly close election. If Romney did win, would all of those planners/strategists/analysts be trying to convince Romney that Russia wasn't a threat, or would he just have had a different set that were telling him Russia is a major threat?
you are right that there was serious conflict.. please note that I did not "pretend" anything.. as a serious place for discussion and learning, let's agree here at YNews to apply information tools and good reasoning on this important topic.

I am not taking sides. Historical documents show that the Germans in WW II bombed the city with ferocity and an intent to destroy it completely. Of course that was a different political era, yet it is relevent today.

I don't doubt that will likely occur in more than a few places. I just doubt the need for it to happen. As natural gas use diminishes and those interconnection queues start cranking through the massive traffic jam of renewables and batteries trying to get on the grid, that means less and less volumes of natural gas paying for all of the fixed-cost infrastructure. Gas rates will consequently go up and up in a spiral, making short-run decisions to build more gas infrastructure very short-sighted and likely to cause a significant amount of stranded assets in the future.
I've found the show because of a post on reddit listing TV critics ratings for TV shows, and this stood out as one of the few which were good from start to end.

We're at season 5 atm and up until this point, I can confirm the ratings.

They are basically incompatible. Fishes eat frog eggs. Frogs eat small fishes. Ponds without fishes sustain a much higher diversity of invertebrates and amphibians (and this means more clear water).

If the pond is of a decent size and amphibians could hide in the margins, fishes could work. Yes. Native species are much better. In very small ones just toads and newts are a satisfying choice. Add frogs if you don't mind noise.

If you have a place for a mini pond my advice is, don't built it.

Go for a small pond instead. Miniponds look nice on yoputube but are really unstable, and much more difficult to manage long term. They "boil" in a few hours at full sun. Freeze in winter and water must be added all the time. Is the same mistake as starting aquaria with a too small tank. Most people just will quit the hobby in a few weeks.

So the semantics of this program would change if I added a line containing an exclamation mark somewhere after this expression? That smells like the worst kind of action at a distance…

Also, how is the expression `doSomething!` typed then? Does it have different types depending on where it's written?

And how do I actually write something `traverse`-like? How to actually write

list.forEach (lambda f => readFile! f)

than, if I really want the effect to run inside the lambda body?
> Isn't a nebula a cloud of dust?

I think "dust" is a term of art in astronomy. A cloud of rocks the size of cars could be dust. I suppose that if you can't resolve the particles, then it's dust.

If I look at this part of the Orion Nebula, it looks opaque; I can't see what's behind it. So I guess if I were in the middle of the nebula, then I wouldn't be able to see out of it. There are many stars in the nebula that are not visible (in visible light).

So I suppose that what you'd see would depend on where in the nebula you were sitting; if you were near a star, the dust would be illuminated, and the sky would be bright. If you were not near a star, presumably the sky would be dark, and you'd look up and see nothing, like the inhabitants of the planet Cricket.
As I recall, that insult was directed at President Gerald Ford.

I keep on noticing moments bad UX creeping into apps, more and more, for little possible benefit. Do frontend people simply not think about 2nd and 3rd order consequences anymore?

Here's an example: Disappearing affordances. For some reason, the button to remove the background from Google Meet went from being its own "Remove Background" button, to all background thumbnails becoming a toggle button.

This is fine, so long as the selected background is visible. But if it's not, perhaps because the selected background is outside the viewport of the scrollable selector, then what's happened, is that the affordance of the "Remove Background" button simply disappeared.
You can fit three Graco SlimFits in there, as a Corolla owner I've done it. One has to be rear-facing.

The real problem is a large part of the enormous hype train is investors thinking they can replace talented engineers w/ AI. That's fundamentally doomed for failure.

What AI can really do well is take an already competent engineer and suddenly get rid of a lot of the annoying tedium they had to deal with. Whether it's writing boilerplate, doing basic project management, organizing brain dumps/brainstorming, etc.
Perl is a Turing-complete language that runs on any platform and has maybe the longest-standing repository of open-source libraries. I haven't seen a benchmark recently, but I'd bet it still outperforms Python or node. But yeah, you'd be laughed out of any job for suggesting it be used for any serious work. It lost the PR war years ago.

I used it as my primary language for several years and it's extremely capable and intuitive. The learning curve of it's syntax is really only slightly longer than any other language. And I have the very strong opinion that syntax contributes less than 5% of readability and the rest is up to the developer to factor smartly and name things well.
Exactly this.
