And you're saying that in Japanese and Chinese no word is ever informally pronounced in abbreviated fashion by eliding some phoneme(s)?
I got bit by the wimax nonsense as a consumer. I had a 4G HTC flagship phone on sprint and it was awesome. Then when I went and upgraded my phone a few years later to another HTC flagship phone, also with 4G, I was very confused why I could only use 3G.

The first phone was labeled 4G and second one was 4G LTE, which sprint didn't have in my area. I had been using wimax.

I switched to Verizon not too long after that so I could have 4G again
This statement seems to be based on a false premise that foster care is bad care (it is often very good care where I originate from, UK) and ignores the fact that sometimes parents kill their children and that there are many children in desperate need of help.

The greater problem with the CPS or similar agencies is underfunding. This leads to families only having dealings with them when the circumstances are suspected of being dire, rather than CPS having the resources to support parents in a meaningful way over a meaningful period of time. Such meaningful support helps to reduce the need for more drastic interventions and allows social workers to have much more knowledge of the families they are helping and of when interventions are needed.
Reminds me of Singapore. Only about 500 acts govern them, a handful of which include caning or execution. If you avoid drugs and weapons and follow the golden rule though, very little chance of problems.
Yeah, we're worse. They raised hell for sure but so far as civilization building goes they have most of us anglos beat.
While I agree the AI answer is unnecessary, I'm more angry about how it forces itself into the top of the page, causing the actual search results to be forced further down the page.

There's a term for this; it's called "layout shift". And guess which giant search engine company actually punishes websites which include layout shift? You're damn right, it's Google:

* https://developers.google.com/publisher-tag/guides/minimize-...

* https://web.dev/articles/cls

These big companies supposedly only hire world-class developers; the cream of the crop. And yet they can't even get the basics right. Stuff that I would have avoided in my first Geocities site when I was a kid.

Stupid hypocritical twats.
Nice - but very special purpose from what I can gather. I've done a few custom solutions myself over the years, but that's exactly what I'm trying to get away from. I want to write code that does cool stuff for the users of my apps, not code that does cool stuff to make translations possible - someone else can do that cool stuff ;-) where I'm the "user".
WOW.

I have used ChatGPT to generate domain ideas, but this has blown me away.

Excellent.

This tool made really good suggestions that I haven’t thought of. And all domains were free.

Again: wow. Nice work.

Do you get a commission from namecheap?

I agree with your general point.

However, we don't have particularly high mobile data usage. Countries with subscribers that use mobile to the exclusion of broadband (e.g. India) have higher mobile data usage per subscriber.
Lead by example, not by preaching. And taking a stance.

You won’t find me on any social media other than Linkedin and Twitter. And on those, I no longer post or interact with people. I keep Twitter because of announcements and Linkedin as a public CV. I also use WhatsApp because alternatives are not really viable (but I reduced its social aspect as much as possible). You’re free to make your choices. Just don’t complain about it, if you won’t heed my advices.

If the intent of the Constitution was to enumerate the rights granted by the citizens to its government and keep those limited, then there should have been a bit more careful wording in "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" since that can be interpreted to mean just about anything...
Happens to me as well, with the exception of the equation thing.
> To find out the most confusing emojis in 2024, we at Preply took the top ten most confusing emojis from 2023 and surveyed respondents again about their meaning. We then used standard deviation to analyze answer choices to figure out which ones puzzle Americans the most.

… how do you stddev on multiple choice…?

But take the rank 2 emoji, "gust of wind"; I would say the top 3 choices are all pretty valid … depending on the context. The thing about emoji is that they're highly contextual. If I see "eggplant" on a grocery list, it might be just an eggplant. In other contexts … well. Similar with "persevering face"; I've probably used it for every option listed, depending on context. There's not always a 1:1 match between emoji & the exact thing you're trying to express. Words have that problem, too.

They list three emoji under "the most confusing new emoji" … they only surveyed those three. (The text is explicit about it, but the headline is clickbait.)
And how would that work compared to the army of free ones on the Raspberry Pi side?
I think those people are the minority. Ux at Google has always been poor and they have never been able to ship a bug free product. Now they are bending over backwards to stay in the AI race but honestly it just seems like they are done. They are a huge balloon so it will take a while to come down but the gas gas started leaking.

I think Playcanvas would do well to focus on the basics, like being able to export/import variables in the standard js way, being able to develop offline, using your own source control. I could go on.
DDG is rolling out the same kind of thing with DuckAssist
Think of all the algebra problems you got in school where the solution started with "get all the x's on the same side of the equation." You then applied a bunch of rules like "you can do anything to one side of the equals sign if you also do it to the other side" to reiterate the same abstract concept over and over, gradually altering the symbology until you wound up at something that looked like the quadratic formula or whatever. Then you were done, because you had transformed the representation (not the value) of x into something you knew how to work with.

I probably missed the point, but open source is a license granted by a copyright holder. It's orthogonal to any project structure. If there's a collaboration of any kind, it would take place under a separate agreement, it's not part or the open source license. But it seems like the article is talking about some hypothetical project structure and criticizing it...

I own quite a few, what's now called retro, machines and a lot of games. However, I still "need" to get two - msx(2) and x68k. If you could have one MSX2+, like the ultimate MSX, which one you'd get? I was eyeing hitbit XV and pimp it out. as for x68k it'd be a XVI machine (not compact of course).
I tried to work out the problem myself first (using only the text) and accidentally used the diameter as the radius just like ChatGPT! Granted I haven't really tackled any maths problems for many years though.
For sure you're right, it's always a tradeoff. But to compensate for a deficit in popularity, a technology needs to have tremendous merits.

Language performance is only important in some very specific cases (I/O trumps CPU in most use case), type safety is now becoming pretty standard everywhere.

Your example of embedded system is indeed a case where the environment has so specific constraints that the runtime behavior of the technology can make a huge difference. But for the regular "json <-> postgres" backend that are the bread and butter of our industry, i'd say it's an exception.
Sprint went all-in on WiMax as it's 4G network. I owned an early Sprint 4G smartphone (made by HTC) and the 4G never worked. I would go to the Sprint store and ask to show me a signal with 4G turned on, and they would always blame congestion, or weather, or some other made-up excuse.
It's a reference to Monty Python's Life of Brian ("What have the Romans ever done for us?" asks one character)
How is this feel good nonsense? There's no feelz involved, other than your response.

You think it is justified behavior because 'others do it'. Not sure that's how morality or judgement of societies works. The fact that your immediate response is to defend the behavior based on appeals to 'but others do it' not on the basis of actual morality just re-enforces my point.
In my observation, outsourcing is caught in the middle here.

The work that was outsourced is (a) formulaic, (b) simple enough to be clearly documented, & (c) high-volume.

That's literally the wish list for good automation opportunities: why have a human automaton do something when a CPU can? Especially when you've already documented it ad nauseum.

And to large degree, this is a problem of large outsourcing shops' own making. They were content to get fat and dumb off labor arbitrage vs upskilling their talent and trying to provide higher value-add.

They all have their tiger teams, but the bulk revenue is putting lower-cost employees on higher-billable-rate contracts.
Wimax actually did work great in practical terms even if the clearwire network was made out of compressed spit.

All of them - all the CW sites, were under provisioned for backhaul.
> smartd logging some complaint and then also barking about not having any way to send mail. What can I say - it's 2024 and I don't run SMTP stuff any more.

Not hard if you use exim4, postfix, bsd-mailx, and a curses-based client like alpine to keep a low energy, simple local mail service running for just such things.
That's a terrible idea. If the government owned wireless infrastructure then we'd still be stuck with 1G analog service. Competition between private cellular carriers is the primary factor driving innovation.
Lots of people are getting paid by Google to be default.

That’s all true, except that something like 2/3 to 3/4 of most armies are not front line troops (support, logistics, intelligence, admin, etc.) it seems many if not most of those roles could be adequately fulfilled by people that are not particularly fit (e.g. you don’t need a 28yo doing aircraft maintenance or driving a truck)
USB to Ethernet dongles have always been available.

Very different from BMW and Audi. Those have a huge third party parts market, and independent shops have full access to the car.

The official diagnostic software from BMW is available for only $2700 per year. Plug it in, click a few buttons and it tells you exactly what is wrong with any BMW, troubleshooting steps, diagrams of the parts and what parts to order etc: https://bmwtechinfo.bmwgroup.com/

If you're not an official shop and don't care about the legalities, the same can be downloaded for $10 at home...
Sure, but a direct forwards pass of the book would surely require more compute than simply loading and setting the hidden state?

The second doesn't require any matrix operations, it's just setting some values.
Ad supported products aren’t free, if they were, Google would not be one of the world’s richest companies. Ad supported products are just priced in a sufficiently convoluted manner that the customers don’t know how much the ad companies are making off them.

Having a convoluted pricing scheme shouldn’t make a company immune to criticism.
Chrome and the modern browser landscape is a monument to our failure to produce a good operating system.
It was valued by hobbyists and small companies spending relatively little money (albeit a significant amount for the resource provided).

Heroku had excellent DX, it was an experience similar to working in a mid-large company with a working CI/CD pipeline and an infra team.

But even 50-100 people companies can afford to have an infra. There was never a lot of money in Heroku imho.

Same for Vercel
UTOPIA frustrates me.

I live in a part of Utah where Xfinity is the only gigabit option. Despite a huge number of the UTOPIA providers claiming to serve my area, none of them actually do. My home is in a stupid weird bandwidth dead zone, with 10Gbps options available all around me. The house across the street from me has Google Fiber, yet Google Fiber won't install it at mine a mere 50ft away. I'd be a lot more upset if my Xfinity connection wasn't rock solid. It provides the exact advertised speeds, and in the 5 years I've had it, it's gone down maybe once. Still, I want 10Gbps. It's maddening.
As long as the United States is the world’s leading superpower, there will always be a second place trying to challenge its position. Previously it was Japan, now it is China, and there will be other countries in the future.
Quite so, and in the case of resx, that's exactly what you're getting. A list of key-value-pairs, no support for pluralisation either (as you say, it gets hard. I understand Polish for example is very complex, perhaps Russian is the same?).

I never had a problem with resx and .net satellite assemblies and all that as far as the format goes. But it's always been an issue how to involved translators in a way that's both simple for the translators, safe for the quality and as automated as possible in bringing the translations back to the app.
Not really, I'm not a political person.

I can use a VPN to get around that stuff.

Not an issue.
Your still part of the problem regardless if you use the services or not: the fact is these corporations are so ingrained with the weedy roots, you can't.

Google is testing on those as we test on animals. ML for only search? Naw.

If everyone turned off their droid, stopped using their email, switched to Firefox, they would still be on top.

Yes. It's better not to, and if your going to preach, yeah. As I use no services other than Signal but we are still just pawns in this game.

We are a just pittance of income of those who are keeping the empire's on top. And who do you run too? DDG is owned by Apple so your only fuelling their empire.

This goes deeper than you could imagine.

Not to mention Scheme (and Scala and many other languages) primitives such as “take” and “drop” and even “iota”. In addition, many of the achievements cited in this article flow from the fact that APL\360 was one of the first highly-interactive systems that were widely available.

Speaking as a person who once suffered from extreme mental illness (see my other post in this thread), mental health treatment saved my life. Full stop. If not for the very, very persistent efforts of a psychiatrist and a therapist both, there's no way I would ever have been able to sort myself out.

Mental health care is hard because people are complicated. It's been almost seven years since the woman who saved my life sat with me in her office for no less than four hours telling me that yes, I should really take these pills, and I am still sorting things out to some extent.

SSRIs don't work for me. But one of them worked for a short time, and that short time was enough to completely change my understanding of myself. It changed me from thinking of myself as a terrible person who deserved all the considerable suffering I was enduring at the time, to thinking of myself as someone who was very very very sick and needed help to survive. If you've never been severely depressed, it's hard to explain what a revelation that is. I broke down sobbing for hours at the feeling of understanding for the first time that my suffering wasn't my fault. It was (in part) due to my actions, but my actions were due to my mental state, and my mental state was not something I had gotten to choose. So when I say that I strongly, strongly, with all my heart, recommend that you try them if you're depressed even though they only worked for me for a couple of days - well, that should tell you just how important that was to me.

Therapy didn't fix me. But it did give me the tools to work on myself, in fits and starts, for what is now half my adult life. Having someone I spoke to every week, who understood the patterns of mental illness, helping me to see the feedback loops for what they were, was critical in understanding the nature of how I was sick. That didn't make those loops go away. But it did train me to listen to them less, and helped me know where to find them when I had the mental energy to work on them.

Without mental health care, I would be dead. With mental health care, I've shed my constant fear of the smallest changes, I no longer scream at myself for the smallest mistakes, I've had healthy romantic relationships, I have a career most people would envy, I take care of my personal environment, I'm in the best physical health of my life and have shed 40% of my body weight to be not-obese for the first time since childhood, and I smile. I smile a lot.

Has society failed many people? Yes. Environmental factors are relevant to mental health. In fact, it's part of why mental health is so dangerous: once your health deteriorates and you lose control and maintenance of your environment, you create a feedback loop that worsens mental illness. I am by no means arguing that we could not take care of people far better than we are. But I, at least, believe in the importance of mental health care as strongly as I believe in anything else on this Earth, because of what it did for me.
Specifically, I was trying to get help from ChatGPT to give a simple formula for the location of the P3 control point of a degree 3 (or higher) Bézier curve in order to maintain G3 continuity (given the derivatives at the end of the adjacent curve). There's a very straightforward equation for the P2 control point for G2 continuity, but I've been struggling to understand the math for G3 continuity.

I've found a ton of research papers and information, but most of it is quickly beyond my ability to digest.

For G2 constraints, there is simple equation:

K(t0) = ((n-1)/n)*(h/a^2)

Where n is the degree of the curve, a is the length of the first leg of the control polygon, and h is the perpendicular distance from P, to the first leg of the control polygon. K(t0) is the curvature at the end point of the adjacent curve.

Depending on what you want to do, it's easy to solve for K(t0), a or h. I would like something this simple for G3.

It actually didn't work. They were barely able to scar the surface with a jagged janky cut after many hard hours of hard work, and they weren't even attacking the hardest types of stone we see things created from. It's just not possible these tools were used to create the amazingly accurate pieces you find in Egypt, fashioned in some of the hardest materials we know.
Statistically-based reasoning also applies to humans. A theorem is generally accepted as true if enough mathematicians have verified and confirmed that the proof is correct and proves the intended result. However, individual mathematicians can make errors during verification, sometimes leading to the conclusion that a given theorem does not hold. Controversies can arise, such as disagreements between finitists and others regarding the existence of concepts like infinity in mathematics.

Actually that F91W does not keep very good time.

There pretty excellent if you keep them on a shelf bit if you run around outside in the hot and cold (you know, like people use a watch) they'll deviate quickly. Because they don't have a temperature controlled (or even compensated) oscillator. A real TXCO (basically putting the crystal inside a temp calibrated oven) is not feasible on a watch battery but compensation sure would be.
Well... I mean, it's Factorio. Everything including the base game is a mod. :)

Silliness aside, it's a built-in part of "Multiplayer," which is included with the base game. But my late-night brain refused to use the word "Multiplayer" in an instance where only a single player (me) has ever been involved.

Like Quake was back in the day, online/multiplayer play of Factorio requires servers, and those servers are all run by regular-ish people. Some servers are public and are easy to find (and as with Quake, sometimes this is unintentional), and some [like my own] are private, unlisted, and don't even exist on the public Internet.
