> That's why you don't change upstream code without reason.

They did have a reason; they were running analysis on the code, and one of their tools specifically called openssl out for using uninitialized memory, which is absolutely a red flag. But not to worry; rather than blindly patching it to fix the bug, they went out of their way to go ask upstream about it, appeared to get a favorable response to their patch, and then went ahead.

You can even see it in this article :)

"Learn only 4 tenses. Past for one time events, past continuous, present, future. These are enough to go by and explain yourself."

Some lanuages don't even have 4 tenses. Polish has 3. And Past Continuous isn't a thing, we have aspects instead.

BTW I don't intend to criticize the author, they're far more of a polyglot than I am (I only speak 4 languages, and only 2 well). It's just funny how we take some things for granted.
No, the corpus is not the source. It's data. So we can have concepts of open models, open source, and open data. Any combination of these can be chosen independently.

(Open data and open model but not open source is a bit weird, but not unthinkable: there may be unreleased training tricks or specialized infrastructure such that the source code release is hard or undesirable.)

Solder always bears load. It just varies how much, where, when and how (angles, bending/twisting vs. pulling etc).

This is (mostly) a parts & pcb design issue. Sometimes it's the solder(ing) itself.

So, designers of this device did a poor job. And/or picked crappy parts to stick on their board. News at 11...
Yeah, it's a weird metaphor, especially since plywood is a premium, structural material. I wish my Ikea furniture used plywood. Instead, you get fiberboard.

It's also a good example of how the metaphor this blog post is predicated on can fall apart. Your customers care about durability, but they make purchasing decisions based on cost and outward appearance. In a world like that, where you can't satisfy all requirements at once, you inevitably end up cutting corners on the things the customer cares about but can't measure. But is that right? That's how you end up with $200 furniture that lasts a year or two in a home with children or pets.

It's also easy to neglect cumulative costs. Back to software: does it matter if your app uses 100 MB of memory when it could be using 1 MB? On an individual basis, no, because RAM is cheap. Cumulatively, when every other app developer thinks the same, and when you multiply it by billions of devices, your decision might have actually cost lives if you consider the increased emissions and countless other distant externalities.

A milder version of the blog's claim is definitely true. You should pick your battles. But it's all about trade-offs, there are few problems that truly don't matter to anyone.

For some reason, most opinions on this topic that one reads on forums with of technically inclined people are non-compatibilist (the view that causal determinism and free will are mutually exclusive) while a good number of people that think a lot about will (i.e. philosophers) are compatibilists...

Note though that in metaphysics/theory of mind determinism is defined as the state at a given moment being necessitated from the state at a previous moment. I think one could critique your argument by saying that you're just pushing back the question of determinism by one level (i.e. "what's responsible for your preference of apples in the first place?"). The fact that you always choose the same way can then be taken to be a proof of determinism instead.

A compatibilist line of argument for your position might go something like this: What we consider a free will would hardly be met by a will completely detached from any deterministic constraints whatsoever. If a necessary condition for free will was that it is free from any external conditions, what would there even be for it to 'choose', and on what basis could its choices be made? Only if your mind knows of apples and oranges (objects subject to deterministic systems) and can interact with them (is at least partly part of the same system) can it make a meaningful choice between them. (Again, this view is based on the assumption that determinism exists and that free will is possible.)

It is just weird that papers like this can be published. "Deep learning signal prediction effectively eliminated EMI signals, enabling clear imaging without shielding." - this means that they have found a way to remove random noise, which if true, should be the truly revolutionary claim in this paper. If the "EMI" is not random you can just filter it so you don't need what they are doing. If it isn't random, whatever they are doing can "predict" the noise, they even use the word in that sentence. They are claiming that they can replace physical filtering of noise before it corrupts the signal (shielding) with software "removal" of noise after it has already corrupted the signal. This is simply not possible without loss of information (i.e. resolution). The images that they get from standard Fourier Transform reconstruction are still pretty noisy so on top they "enhance" the reconstruction by running it through a neural net. At that point they don't need the signal - just tell the network what you want to see. The fact that there are no validation scans using known phantoms is telling.
The point isn't about utility, it's about aesthetics - it's about how the product is finished. What you use in the back should be the same as elsewhere.
I call it a lifestyle business, have seen this term being used a few times. Which I like and suits me well too
Two or three times a year, I schedule a dozen emails to my wife. Just little missives that say something sweet that I appreciate about her. I spread them out over the next few months, so she gets little reminders from me that say I love you.

When I’m staring down a long, busy day and she looks run down, I schedule an email a few hours later to say “Hope your day is going well, you’re awesome and I’m grateful to have you.”

When my wife gets the emails, I’m almost certainly not thinking about her. I’m usually at work focused on work.

Am I doing romance wrong?
The best option is plywood for the dimensional stability, varnish for waterproofing, and solid wood edge trim to give some resilience against mechanical damage that would otherwise risk delamination. This also hides the ugly part of the plywood.
Oftentimes managers will make demands that interfere with ownership of the code. Such as requiring something to be finished in half the time it would take to do it without technical debt. Over and over and over again.

I have had a lot of clients like this. It's very common especially for lower budget projects. You can literally cut corners you don't really want to or just get replaced by someone who does.

They will often also insist on certain technical decisions like choice of programming language or framework.

> you've been subject to too much anti-collective propaganda and are locked inside your conservative ideology

I'm not so sure about that. In fact, most recently I've been consuming a lot of Walter Benjamín and Hannah Arendt - and if they aren't considered progressive then I'm not sure what could be. I've also been trying to catch up on American Pragmatism from the likes of Peirce, James and Dewey (and a bit of Rorty too I suppose) - again, about as progressive a bunch as I think you could reasonably ask for. I would also argue that both Žižek and Sartre fit into the progressive.

But it is fair to say that I'm balancing that out nowadays with the likes of Kierkegaard and even Spinoza. My actual opinion is that an atheistic existentialism (in the form of guys like Sartre and Foucault) went too far. Exactly as Curtis laments in this post, I feel that we've lost some of the enchantment that we used to have. If a yearning for the re-introduction of that enchantment, and perhaps letting go a little of the seeking of political power, is being "locked inside [...]conservative ideology", then I will accept that charge.

I believe we can desire a kind of collectivism that is separate from the desire to wield political power. It just so happens that almost all modern collectivist philosophical theory (that I am familiar with) is centered around the desire to affect social change through political power.
Are they permitted, funded and planned and built in less time than years? Not very many are. This a good thing, we don't want people cutting corners and building wherever they want.

As I understand that section: if the data you're dealing with already has a need for some sort of lifecycle that's fairly prominent in your data model (i.e. where you're likely to be filtering based on the lifecycle column in all your queries anyway), then adding a lifecycle state for "deleted" is perfectly fine.

I'm drawing a blank; why would it be easier to rotate wg keys than ssh keys? They're both asymmetric keys that fit in one line of text, which should be generated on the client and then have the public key uploaded to the server(s), and which can be dynamically loaded at runtime. If anything, I'd think ssh was marginally easier because it supports CAs out of the box and you can just have your auth system dynamically signing the user's certificate.

any random person off the street could give you a half decent one right off the bat? it isn't a complicated issue at all. some things that would definitely help off the top of my head:

1. only offer robust but recyclable paper bags and don't offer plastic bags at all, and make them cost more

2. make the existing plastic bags much more expensive, like £2.50 instead of £0.05-£0.10

3. make some kind of reward system for using bags multiple times, extra clubcard points or some kind of discount

4. don't offer any bags at all and force the customer to figure it out

> would be indistinguishable from a black hole fed entirely by the equivalent matter

> one black hole with electrons and the other black hole with anti-protons

But electrons and anti-protons are not equivalent. Positrons are.

That's what I meant -- if the same energy of electrons and positrons are used, the black holes would not be indistinguishable, their charges would be different.
I don't think we are talking about people floating freely without management. Everyone is on a team and has a supervisor, but different people have wildly different skill at politics and "appearing productive." We all know at least one person who was hired at a lower or similar level, yet who basically does nothing productive. They make up for it with bullshit: lots of managing upward, credit taking, writing good sounding but ultimately contentless docs, they're well dressed and groomed, charming, high charisma, ivy league mannerisms. They always end up with a sharp upward career trajectory, parachuting into Director, VP, SVP and so on roles.
Singularitarianism is the CS equivalent of ideological brainwashing. STEM degrees aren't immune. ( -Masters in molecular biology).

The explosion of mental health problems in the world and economic dysfunction are not STEM problems, and any solutions likely have their share of public policy as well as making life more enriching. Especially since it's smartphones and social media (technology), aided by the best psychologists money could buy to create addictive algorithms, that hold a good share of the blame for those mental health epidemics. With the rise of the sports betting industry in the US I can only see the financial problems for everyday people getting worse, but I'm sure that the masterminds behind it will blame individual people for not being stronger in willpower than their algorithms are at being engaging. Are we going to technology our way out of that, or are we going to be more mindful about how technology is used?
Respectfully, I think you’re limiting the valuation to just the culturally propagated version of “caring”.

Some people wake up naturally in the morning. Some people need an alarm. They can both care deeply about the reason they’re waking up (a job, an appointment, whatever) but for some people, they need the extra help.

For some, setting the reminder is the effort and energy that shows you care. It’s worth saying though that the most important thing is doing the things that show your partner that you care.
You are correct. Steve definitely believed in doing things properly because you know they're there, regardless of who can see it:

Less is more, we've been warned about overpopulation since decades ago. There's no need to have an ever-increasing population unless you're running a pyramidal scheme. Humanity won't extinguish, there are already enough births to prevent that, it will reach a new equilibrium.
I've seen it done fairly well, or at least 'doable if wanted but not turned on'.

IME, ideal state is that 'soft deletes' are kept primarily for easing debugging, and the 'soft delete' is kept until archival of soft deleted events occurs (also primarily for debugging/compliance, but sometimes having 'recent data' closer to runtime makes debugging cycles easier...

The biggest problem in doing so successfully is getting the design of things right, which is hard to get buy-in on.
> If the technical debt is a problem, 1) we shouldn’t have put it in there, and 2) we should include it in our estimates and address it.

Yes. Don't tell your boss that you'll need to take time to address technical debt. The boss will always say "No don't do that, just add the feature". Sometimes they add "We'll fix that later."

Later never happens and eliminating related technical debt is part of implementing the feature.

Don't ask your boss about this stuff. It's part of your job and it's something you understand that your boss probably doesn't.

"Randomness" is not a correct interpretation of quantum mechanics, all you can say is that, beyond some limit, uncertainty in measurements kicks in. A deterministic process being behind it cannot be ruled out (yet?).
I draw the line where the original pixel values are still part of the input. As long as you’re manipulating something that the camera captured, it’s still photography, even if the math isn’t the same for all pixels, or is AI powered.

But IMO it’s a point worth bringing up, most people have no idea how digital photography works and how difficult it is to measure, quantify and interpret the analog signal that comes from a camera sensor to even resemble an image.
This might be good, in the balance, for some people, but an important component is lost...

There are things that past partners have done that were especially meaningful because they came from the heart -- because they thought of it, and wanted to.

And I'd never say what those things were, because it wouldn't be as special if a future partner did one of those other things because they'd been given intel that I'd like that.

Nor if they were told to by an app.
Like most tutorials I've seen this lacks on the AllowedIPs part on the client's peer. First of all it creates routes on the client side and secondly you can configure this quite a lot by giving it a comma separated list of networks or giving it a route-all by using 0.0.0.0/0

Not that is configured on the client side, if you don't want the client to mess around in your server's network beyond certain IPs, then you need to add a firewall on the server.

While I agree that there's nothing specifically wrong with using an app to inspire spontaneity, this seems oddly self-congratulatory.
