Rhino is a very uncommon engine though. It has its niche, but if you're developing for simpler engines like that, then you typically know that in advance and know what considerations you're going to need to make for that.

When it comes to performance, lessons that apply to Rhino are unlikely to apply to more mainstream engines.

EDIT: That's not to say that everyone should use map and forEach all the time, just that your benchmarks are unlikely to be relevant to most JS devs outside of your specific use-case.
The problem isn't that they didn't follow the plans, they did, the problem is they didn't include industry standards for safety critical systems like preventing reverse current with diodes and/or independent grounding.

The design was changed slightly shortly before going into production, from two grounding screws to one. It's a minor difference though as there would be no way to detect thata single grounding screw had failed and then the failure of the second screw would cause the same problem. And if one screw is backing out/aging, there's a good chance the other one is too.

Yours is an interesting take. Do you mean that Russia is afraid of the consequences of hitting NATO? Do you mean they are afraid NATO could attack it and destroy their country? I am not sure that may be the case. Ultimately, they did go ahead with their SMO in Ukraine. They are fighting, dying, and do not seem afraid of war. NATO, to the contrary, does not seem to have the leadership to take up a real war, besides their many hysterical Russophobic leaders, especially in the Baltics and Eastern Europe. Could it be that Russia may assess a large war as highly likely and is biding its time to build more weapons and prepare for it? Because that is a very valid alternative to your hypothesis.
The author is either for real or very committed to the bit.
I don't remember the "Not Just Bikes" YouTube video, but he specifically discusses the relatively low rates of bicycle helmet wearing, especially amoungst urban riders. I agree with you: When there are serious bike injuries, it is usually due to a car or truck in mixed space. When only bikes riding less than 25km/h, the injuries are pretty minor.

I have no doubt sql can do it without too much trouble, but for a time series this is really an instant operation, even on a small server.

A time series will first find the relevant series and then simply for-loop through all the data. It takes just a handful of milliseconds.

Sql will need to join with other tables, traverse index, load wider columns. And you better have set the correct index first, in your case you also spent extra effort on partitioning tables. Likely you are also using a beefy server.

Your last (ironic) statement is interesting. In the same vein, America's use of nuclear weapons to stop Japan made the world a worst place. Or America's attack on the Taliban made the world a worst place. Not everything that has the potential for destruction is intrinsically bad. The police has guns, but they use them to protect you. Russia has tactical nuclear weapons and it is using them to protect the rest of the world from the American's liberal ideology that is trying to start WW3. I would be interested in your point of view.

Privacy means very different things to different people.

On basic level it is just that your data is not used/sold beyond basic, statistical analysis of visitors. That's it. Cookie can be "private" in this context, if they are SameSite and httpOnly with short life.

In terms of law, Privacy is very different thing. In case of GDPR in the EU it is set of rules and laws that you have to comply with.

Just because you don't use cookies or host in EU, doesn't mean you are automatically GDPR compliant.

We built Wide Angle Analytics, and we invested in strict compliance. We hired experienced DPO (one of requeirements), host in EU on EU cloud, not just EU located servers. We document every data processing activity and do not engage in any international data transfer ( in context of GDPR). Plus much more.

Cookieless does not mean privacy. There is lot of snake oil out there.
I with you. But maybe there's a line it crosses from feature to critical impediment?

A great example is YouTube in a web browser. My internet is 350 Mbps with 20-40ms latency. Trying to load YouTube in a new browser tab takes a few to several seconds and I'm forced to wait for it to load because the sign in link doesn't show up until the end of the seizure inducing re-render flashes. Safari, no add ons.

I can't believe it takes so long and I think less of Google as a company because of it. Them speeding it up is not a feature in that case. A trillion dollar technology company ought to provide fast as merely baseline. Anything less is them intentionally disregarding their customer.

> I thought that you were hinting that DI can be done (esp. on a smaller scale) often manually without any complex container magic.

I also agree with this, and at any scale.

Actually I think the larger scale the codebase, the more it would benefit from manual DI, obviously at that point, the wiring code grows and you would probably break it down into multiple methods.
Cheap laugh. When you look at the actual example they provide, it seems like a useful feature, and not at all on the AI hype train:

Its kind of unclear what this includes. Computer equipment is a separate line, and wikimedia owns its own servers, so presumably that is separate from server costs. You don't have to buy new servers every year so some servers might simply have been purchased in other years, although maybe that gets ammortized, i dont know.

Additionally when you host your own servers you need staff to operate them. When using something like AWS, this would be part of your AWS fees, but if you operate your own servers then you have to pay that part separately. Its probably cheaper overall in the end when you are wikipedia scale, but the costs break down differently.

Most apps and sites don’t have much to show for, especially institutional ones. So you’re left with a whole lot of space to fill with… something. Even if you have text, most text is pure noise, also made to fill space, that goes for images too: you just have to render stuff to convey that you’re unique, insightful, trustworthy and so on; that goes for brands and individuals. I do feel the heavy preference of users of this site towards low whitespace (they’re users, after all), and I don’t personally like it, not because it’s distasteful, but because it makes me do a lot of mistakes and confuses me a lot, so I waste some time compensating for the lack of adaptation towards my ergonomic and cognitive needs. But I won’t hate on it. I embrace it because it serves me well. The same goes for whatever style you wish to shape your content. I think we start to see design when what’s contained in it offer little to no value (considering it’s minimally usable). So I think good content is what we should primarily strive for, whatever style we package it in. It’s funny how most clients get visibly uncomfortable when you make a design that’s direct. Don’t hate on designers; most just do as they’re told, or they’re selected based on the traits the higher levels expect. It’s an illusion to think most professional designers own their work and can reasonably be blamed, if anything, blame the market’s invisible hands.
You could probably make something like a xylophone, with some kind of sensor or switch for each bar. Originally while reading I was thinking of something like a steel drum, but a xylophone would probably be easier to wire up for a prototype, as each bar could be its own thing and there would be less noise to try and filter out in software.

Or maybe an easier way to see if you’d even like something like this before building is to get a keyboard with very short travel and low force needed, and some rubber tipped drum sticks (or mallets) and try drumming on an actual keyboard.

You could also try speech to text. I seem to remember seeing VS Code added it not long ago as part of Copilot. I haven’t tried it at all or even looked to see how it works. I just saw the release notes.
It seem to be an active, coordinated campaign against AIs bringing out of proportion the wrong things. Microsoft, Google, Apple, didn’t need AI to take control of our devices and information.

With the Scarlet Johansson voice seem to be the same, too much noise in too much media at once for something that should had been obvious from the start, and it is not even the start of it.

It may or not be the next step in a progression? Ok. That increases what players are in the game? Maybe. But the game was already set, and with the main players of today.

There are more things to be scared about, with AIs and those players (and some that play the elephant in the room role), but that is not what they are pointing out.
You’ve been warned.
The anger is appropriate for the circumstance, maybe. Seeking out things to make you angry (aka social media in general) is not healthy.
> Curious why lisp's REPL is frequently touted as an incredible language feature e.g.

Another language that’s great in that regard is Smalltalk/Pharo. It’s the Minecraft of programming languages. Your program start as an IDE and you morph it to what you want. Feels like building a car while it’s running.
I suspect a lot of people are no longer being taught these fundamental protocols by manual interaction with a terminal, since that's what SMTP seems to have been originally intended for; and as someone who actually made use of that for a nontrivial amount of time, the "single dot on a line" to end a message has been permanently etched into my memory.

Relatedly, escaping somehow seems to be a foreign concept for a lot of programmers, who wouldn't ever see the above situation and ask themselves "but what if I want to send an email with a line containing a single dot?" yet another large group of them finds it perfectly logical and easy to understand.
Does anyone know what tech stack is used to align the audio with the text? How does specific section gets highlighted when the video reaches that mark and vice versa on how the video jumps to location where the text is clicked?
You don't need to be "tightly strapped". Loosely strapped is good enough. On long haul flights, I see lots of people doing that.
Um, your math is off a bit. 225 + 200 + 200 is 625 not 900 to 1200.

The first step is in determining the variable costs and the fixed costs. You can reduce the variable costs with self-generation, (solar, wind, hydro) fixed costs are likely fixed.

So start with accurate costing and totals.

So how do you explain the lack of transparency on this issue from Apple?

One person wiped their device as per Apple's instructions, sold it, and the new buyer had the seller's old photos appear on the device!

https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/ios/comments/1cspwh2/my_old_p...

Wiping it should have deleted the encryption keys off that device and destroyed all data, no?

A single handwavy comment about "database corruption" is not enough for such a gigantic issue.
Adding to your comment, from my perspective (exploration geophysics)

> and just contains tons of data coming in from sensors.

it's also desired to, on the fly, deal with missing sensor data, clearly bad sensor data, identify and smooth spikes in data (weird glitch or actual transient spike of interest), apply a variety of running filters; centred average is basic, parameterised Savitzky–Golay filters provide "beefed up" better than running average handling .. and there are more.

It's not just better access to sequential data that makes a dedicated time series engine desirable, it's the suite of time (and geo spatial) series operations that close the deal.

I highly doubt many people are getting offers at McKinsey and getting funded at the same time. The dude talks about risk but he literally took little to no risk. He is funded. The profile that allowed him both this job offer and funding at graduation will allow it again if his startup fails.

Most people do not get funded while having a job offer from McKinsey.

Which brings us to the second point: How is the VC scene in the UK compared to the US?

> The UK certainly doesn’t lack the talent or education, and I don’t think it’s any longer about access to capital.

The author proof is some random $1bn funding for some auto driving. This is weird when you can pull number (https://dealroom.co/guides/global) which shows the UK is still lagging the US.

Finally, the university ranking thing is bogus; which is what the argument of the author rests on.
IANAD but I’d imagine with all the knee/hip/everything replacements, metal plates in heads, pins in wrists, pacemaker implants etc that it’s a manageable issue.
But that may also be way of waging war. In fact, the US did the same on Bagadad. Why you lamenting that? I don't understand it. Are you complaining that they may not be following the Geneva Convention's rule? How about Gitmo? There are no rules. The only apparent rules are those that are pushed louder by the media propaganda. As the West currently excels in that, you have the impression that those are the rules. But they would change them quickly and feed you some other "rules" if those would not suit them equally well. And most of the "war crimes" they fed you probably never happen. Lies, lies, lies. The only different you can make to your life is whether you are going to believe them or question them. After Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libia, and Syria, you still believe them? Have they brainwashed you so badly?

I think commercial offerings are good to offer as an alternative to donations for institutions that want to support something and cannot easily make a donations.
> It's remarkable how institutions (the school psychologist in your case) often re-inflict the trauma that is going on at home. It's their job to protect the child, but often they do the opposite, and it's worth asking why. I experienced this myself, though in a very different context—everyone's story is unique of course.

I think the simplest explanation here is Sturgeon's law: 90% of everything is crud. This goes for members of institutions as well, even if they aren't overworked, underpaid, and undertrained as so many are.

On top of that, abusers are often charming and highly skilled liars and manipulators. To get away with it for an extended period of time it is necessary to convince the victims that institutions won't help them, so performing abuse in front of a representative of the institution can be a ploy to reinforce their power. If the school psychologist had been likely to challenge the abusers, they likely would have picked a different authority figure (teacher, principal, &c.).
