Amtrak can be fun but service can be highly variable.

A few years ago my wife and I took an Amtrak from Oakland to Chicago with a brief stop in Colorado to visit a hot spring. We weren't impressed with the menu on the first leg of the trip so we bought take-out meals in town before boarding. Boy were we lucky we did - the train didn't get restocked properly and ran out of food a day early. Many onboard got to enjoy some intermittent fasting...

Now I tell people to by all means enjoy Amtrak but always make contingency plans.

Just because something is, common, accepted, or written in stone, doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Because it’s stupid business jargon that no one had the balls to speak up the first time in history when some micro-managing egotistical C-level exec uttered this debauchery. They should have looked at them like they had two heads and said “What the fuck did you just call the power point?”

Yes, they have. It’s still waitlisted, but the rides are paid now.
Of course it's going to be a commercial question.

But from a design standpoint, there are four major components to the umbrella.

The cover, the stem, the handle, and the lever-branches (if collapsible) or straight branches (otherwise).

The cover is typically a synthetic polymer based material. In collapsible models, due to levers and fiddly connections it's hugely PITA to replace. If it rips or develops a hole you could theoretically push to use a more readily patchable material, however, the high tension at which this is often maintained will rapidly break down many approaches to patching. Realistically, this sort of thing is best done at a factory given the input costs.

The stem and handle virtually never break down and can be any form of metal or wood, depending upon whether you want a telescopic collapsible design or rigid full length. Aluminium is supposed to be the best recyclable metal in terms of recovery rate and is also light, however is prone to deformation in thin configurations. It may be possible to consider carbon fiber, which is very cheap now.

The lever-branches of a collapsible model are the biggest problem. They are fiddly, prone to breakage in most designs, and in most designs relatively tedious and difficult to securely re-attach to the cover should the cover require replacement.

Original suggestion: Design instead a standard interface between the umbrella stem and the cover-and-lever assembly. This would allow easily replacement of the cover-and-lever assembly as the most frequently broken portion. Alternatively, seek out a full length umbrella with strong branches instead of the tiny collapsible ones. Probably these days you could make them with carbon fiber quite cheaply.
> You aren't changing the variant of an existing ADT, you're replacing the entire ADT value with a new one.

'Values' in Rust have no identity, except for their address. They're just a bunch of bytes in a row. What could it mean for a value to exist, except for it to be present at a set place in memory? If I have an instance of a Java class, and I change all the fields, I'd hardly say the instance has been replaced with a new instance.

If you insist, I'd say "Java's sealed classes are more limited in that when you have a bunch of references to the same thing, you can change the values in the fields of that thing (and have it be reflected in other references), but you can't change which variant it is." Call that thing a 'value' or a 'variable', it doesn't change the visible outcome compared to enums in Rust, or discriminated unions in C/C++.
When counting photons, the noise in your signal scales with the square root of the total count. If the satellite is dumping 100 ± 10 photons in every pixel it passes through, you can no longer distinguish objects so faint that they'd only leave 10 photons in a pixel during your exposure.

I love them too. In a similar vein I learned just the other day that the verb 'escalate' only became in vogue after the invention of the escalator in the 1920s. I can't really pinpoint why either, but I think it has something to do with the surprisingly dumb or meme-y roots of such common words.
Where is it off? Most linux distros have it on it’s just the default kickoff timer is ridiculously long (like 2 hours iirc). Besides, TCP keepalives won't help with the issue at hand and were put in for totally different purpose (gc'ing idle connections).

The difficulty partially lies in that there are numerous different "flavors" of medicine in any given specialty. Coupled with the vast amount of medical knowledge that is known in part or simply hypothesized given current evidence, you are going to run up against doctors disagreeing on how the summary selects what information can be typically left out.

Even for myself, there is individual variation case to case what I would want to see. Sometimes it depends on things that aren't measurable. If my brain is exhausted after a long week, or if I couldn't sleep on Wednesday, I may conduct rounds a bit differently than if I am fresh. An LLM that isn't responsive in the same way can be problematic.

I think it's pretty much impossible to tell statically whether you're going to be drowning in overhead spinning up a thread for every pixel on the screen, or leaving tons of parallelism on the table. Maybe with PGO it can be made to work. Even if it could be automatic, parallelism can be so important, and usually requires explicit design to enable, you probably don't want to delegate it.
That's encouraging.

You grossly overestimate how much of a crap people give about twitter.

Tiktok has orders of magnitude more engagement, and the US can just ban it with the stroke of a pen, with no political blowback.
"My only conclusion at the end was that it would only be considered societally acceptable for diseases, not recreation"

I strongly doubt this. If technology is there, the path from disease to recreation would be very short once the market is involved. Except at the extremes, whether a condition is a "disease" or "impairment" can be pretty subjective.
I’m just happy to see the overwhelming consensus on the internet is “apologizing for what”. Apple shouldn’t be apologizing at all. The add was cool.
It didn’t just not appeal to some audiences. It actively alienated one of the primary audiences of their product. Of course that requires a response.

> For example, a result is a success value or an error. A stock order is a market order or a limit order, and nothing else, at least until someone updates the spec and recompiles the code.

But that's just it, specs are rarely complete because reality is fluid. For example, a result is a success or an error, until maybe you want an errors to prompt the user to correct something and then the computation can be resumed (see resumable exceptions).

Should you even have to recompile your code to handle new cases? Why can't you just add the new case, and define new handlers for the functions that depend on your ADT without recompiling that code? That's the expression problem.

The ad was strangely off-brand for Apple. But I suppose they’ve been trending edgier and moodier in their advertising lately. I just don’t get why - they had a really effective brand to begin with.

BMW, too, used to have an impeccable brand.
The conflict in Palestine started way earlier than that. At least since the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1917. Might have really gotten going with the Hebron Massacre of 1929 but even that was preceded by Arab riots beginning even in 1920. Jews were already well sick of Arabs' shit by the time 1948 rolled around.
People who use twitter have an over exagerated sense of how many people use twitter. I think, in part, because of how many media people use(d) it.

But there's a ton of people out there who would at best not care if it disappeared, and more likely be happy that everyone stopped asking people to follow them on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.

The thing Dorsey got really upset about: Bluesky users demanded moderation and it was put into place. Yeah, that was it.

It turns out that actual users who want to talk to their friends and make new friends don't like wading through poop.

There is not a single thing in that interview about what people who want to socially interact might want from a site for the purpose of social interaction. Except that Twitter users moving to Bluesky to use it was apparently a bad thing?

Actual users literally did not want the thing Jack was selling, and he stormed out because of it.

He tried again at Nostr, but the only people who wanted his ideas turned out to be crypto bros trying to scam each other. Ordinary users were not interested in this weird nonsense.

What Dorsey actually deleted his Bluesky account over was when he posted advocacy for RFK Jr's anti-vax nonsense and the users made fun of him relentlessly for it. So, the use case for Twitter: when a famous person insists on making an ass of themselves in public and the public can throw rotten tomatoes at them.

just because historically OK was meant to be neutral, it has clearly evolved/morphed into a very non-neutral usage. I don't think a teenager today can say ok without their eyes rolling to the back of their head in a very non-neutral meaning. which is what I'm assuming you're referring to the of 'k' to be?

The embedding distance of a set of output tokens to a document doesn’t mean that it was sourced from there; they could be simply talking about similar things.

Or, more contextually: “I know that nowadays many people are talking about that, but a few years ago I think I read about it first in the Post.”

I mean, we can play that game if you want. Let's suppose that if we look hard enough, that every opportunity has a cost.

"Oh, a free concert downtown on Saturday? And you can pick me up at 2? Yeah, I do really like that band, and I sure would like to go -- that's pretty exciting, thanks for the invite!

But instead of making plans with you right now, I'd rather tell you about all of the ways I could be using my time on that Saturday afternoon instead.

No, no. It's not that I don't want to go. I just want to really drive home the idea that there's an opportunity cost to attending, so it can't really be free -- it can't be a free show for you, or for me, or for anyone else that goes. It's important to me that you realize that this "free concert" is anything but free.

Listen, I don't know what you mean by "dead-ass loser." I'm just being a realist here!

Oh, so now you're saying that you're not going to pick me up on Saturday? Some friend you are! I haven't even fully amortized this yet!"
The takeaway is odd. Clearly Nagle's Algorithm was an attempt at batched writes. It doesn't matter what your hardware or network or application or use-case or anything is; in some cases, batched writes are better.

Lots of computing today uses batched writes. Network applications benefit from it too. Newer higher-level protocols like QUIC do batching of writes, effectively moving all of TCP's independent connection and error handling into userspace, so the protocol can move as much data into the application as fast as it can, and let the application (rather than a host tcp/ip stack, router, etc) worry about the connection and error handling of individual streams.

Once our networks become saturated the way they were in the old days, Nagle's algorithm will return in the form of a QUIC modification, probably deeper in the application code, to wait to send a QUIC packet until some criteria is reached. Everything in technology is re-invented once either hardware or software reaches a bottleneck (and they always will as their capabilities don't grow at the same rate).

(the other case besides bandwidth where Nagle's algorithm is useful is if you're saturating Packets Per Second (PPS) from tiny packets)

There's a lot of in-neuron complexity, I'm sure there is some cross-synapse signaling (I mean, how can it not exist? There's nothing stopping it.), and I don't think the synapse behavior can be modeled as just more signals.
It’s an interesting question, because effectively if there is no authority that can ban content from the internet, it means that nothing can be removed from the internet.

Consider censorship that most people would agree with such as revenge porn. If no country can remove it then it is essentially unremovable, while most people think that it should be removed.

But when any country limits something that we feel should not be censored then no one wants there is this backlack like in this case.

It’s hard to determine the correct choice.
The specific issues that this article discusses (eg Nagle's algorithm) will be present in most packet-switched transport protocols, especially ones that rely on acknowledgements for reliability. The QUIC RFC mentions this: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9000#section-13

Packet overhead, ack frequency, etc are the tip of the iceberg though. QUIC addresses some of the biggest issues with TCP such as head-of-line blocking but still shares the more finicky issues, such as different flow and congestion control algorithms interacting poorly.
A lot of people have strong emotional connections to their artistic tools like instruments. It's a very common reaction to feel discomfort at the sight of an instrument being destroyed.

I have come to loathe and disdain this kind of person I did not think even existed a decade ago. The sad truth is that a lot of people of a certain demographic will prefer to die before even switching to Windows, let alone Linux or something open. And sadly, a small part of the tech world is the same; they think that their experience with Windows and Android more than a decade ago is reflective of how they work now. Thus, Apple could spit on their faces, and yet they will still like it. Sadly, nothing to do with people who just suck up to modern Apple.
