Is VS Code the same as Visual Studio? Super confused.

Visual Studio Code, appears to be a code editor with support for C, C#, C++, Fortran, Go, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, Python, Rust, and Julia

Visual Studio, appears to be a code editor with support for 36 languages including C, C++, C++/CLI, Visual Basic .NET, C#, F#, JavaScript, TypeScript, XML, XSLT, HTML, and CSS.

Visual Studio Code, appears to be liked by almost every user and the favorite in a bunch of online polls.

Visual Studio, appears to be unusable junk, widely hated in almost every survey, and unable to even display its own error messages correctly in 2022.

Visual Studio Code is supposedly a "related product" according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio#Related_products

How are these related? They seem like Microsoft's internal fiefdoms again.

Glad you figured it out! I wish shared worker debugging was more obvious tbh, but oh well.

Yes, that's in the roadmap and will be much easier to do once I release the new storage engine I'm building. It's going to be a native vanilla SQLite extension which will be trivial to integrate into any environment that can already run SQLite (assuming the env allows extensions).
It is also "not cool, to say the least" to post transphobia in the thread celebrating the life of a recently deceased trans person.

breadbasket is communicating the same sentiment as "fuck off" without using those words.
> I don't get the hand-wringing when it comes to reasonably priced services.

For me, it has nothing to do with the price and everything to do with the fact that I don't want a service dependency for my most critical passwords. I want them to be available no matter what. The product should be standalone. And this isn't a hypothetical concern, either: my employer is contractually mandated to disallow cloud-based password managers, so I must use standalone ones (yes, this is a stupid policy, but one that I'm bound by).

And on top of that, 1Password 5 was an excellent product and it is just steadily getting worse, in my opinion.

odd, Petsinis' Galois was left-handed, but the record of the autopsy describes a right-hander: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k267462/f100.item

My aunt and uncle took their honeymoon in 1967 by driving from Adelaide to London, where they lived for a few years and then drove home. While a crazy trip, quite a few people did this, including my mother's best friend for her honeymoon.

When we visited, we flew. I don't remember how long it took, but by the late 70s, with 747s, the flight had shortened down to 36 hours.

Yeah, and when theyee willing to sell it that way with deception, they're willing to do that with other things. To me that sounds like a political yes-man environment.

Flagging is done by regular users. So it would have been regular users who saw your submission and then flagged it.

Why? -- well answering that requires a mind-reading skill we don't have.
Having the company pay for the investor's legal fees is an indication of the investor's investment model.

Paying the investor's legal fees is consistent with investing for cashflow. This is by far the most ordinary investment model. It is expected that returns are periodically realized cash.

Another investor model is to realize profits through capital gains -- not uncommon with Silicon Valley investors, but less common elsewhere. Taking capital out of the target investment at the start provides lower expected return because that money doesn't compound within the company.

Basically, the difference is that one investor sees better investments outside the company and the other doesn't. Good luck.
I mean, did you read the article?
Labeling isn't bad, but it doesn't scale. It works for e.g. allergens because people who are allergic are aware of the rather rapid harm done if/when they consume allergens.
Politics are intertwined in every facet of the human experience, because they're effectively the net result of a social group

Some people however strive to "live above" politics, or to breathlessly demand things be "apolitical" based on their own biases. That bias in of itself being as "political" as anything else

Norway has resources, strategic geographical positioning (North Sea, Arctic, Danish Straits) and has proximity to the (then) Soviet Union so the US couldn't afford to lose Norway to the Soviet sphere of influence. The US couldn't risk another Iran.

While I agree that a community needs to focus on its central goal (developing the rust programming language in this case), I think I have a very good litmus test for what you think "apolitical" means:

Let's say Lynn were a rust developer and felt as though the the tone of the community and the discussion of her work made her feel unwelcome. Let's say Lynn spoke out against that. Would you entertain that conversation? I imagine that is not too far from what happened at IBM when Lynn was fired. When is it "allowed" to be political in your mind?

Intentionally addressing the ability of marginalized people to be a part of a community, in my mind, is precisely apolitical. If it's clear that anyone is welcome then you don't really need to talk about politics, do you.
Interesting. I got quite good results for my longform substack by combining xTTS2 with Nvidia's Nemo.

15-20 years depending on usage. Mostly, EV manufacturers are very comfortable offering 8 years or 100K miles on their batteries (whichever comes first). Meaning they don't anticipate failures to be a regular thing before that; or long after that. Most batteries should last a lot longer.

Most EVs produced ever (i.e. in the last 15 years) are still driving with their original batteries. So that should build some confidence. Some early cars with relatively primitive battery management obviously are getting their batteries replaced. But even then, it's not going to break the bank and extends the lifetime of the vehicle by a decade+. A 4K battery replacement for a 12 year old Nissan Leaf to double its range doesn't sound like a horrible deal, for example. Replacing a 20kwh battery with a 40kwh one for that money is a good deal and extends the life of the vehicle by about 10+ years.

Of course it all depends on battery chemistries and battery management. There has been a lot of improvement on both dimensions. Mostly I don't think there will be a lot of surprises on this front as this is a well studied thing.
>That has absolutely nothing to do with the SoC.

It does, without it you don't get video output. You need the soc to have DisplayPort lanes and a phy to the USB-C port.

>Qualcomm powered Nexus and Pixels never had a video output.

No phones in that generation had video output.

>And the flagship Exynos line always supported the feature.

Google's Tensor is not a flagship Exynos, but more of a budget cut down "Walmart" version of it, made specifically only for Google.
One of the main things I’ve learnt undergoing psychoanalysis is how much pain and repression is caused by not allowing ourselves to admit that our parents are not perfect. For example I still to this day try to construct ideal people and am shocked when they show that they are still fallible humans, because I never fully accepted that my dad isn’t perfect, even if I know it intellectually

Going forth into the world and realising it is not going to look after us is a vital realisation that all humans must go through
Fascinating!

Depending on the size and age of the company, most of those hint towards a product-focused organization that often cultures careful, reliable engineers. It might not be fun or flashy, but there's good odds that a place like that knowns how to build their product and does a consistent job of it. They're often a great place for senior engineers to settle down and focus on low-drama productivity and for junior engineers to witness durable best practices in action.
Yes the goalposts will be moved. But even if they don't (almost 0% chance of this), the worst case scenario is an across-the-board 20% benefit cut. Nobody was ever predicting or seriously expecting Social Security to just go away.

I tried using Screen Time to manage my daughter’s use of my old MBPro, and eventually gave up – for the reasons you list. The issues were just so crippling and obvious that it felt abandoned to me.
You nailed it! In SQLSync, conflict handling happens in a WebAssembly module provided by the developer (for now). This module is free to handle conflicts in any way you see fit. You could even embed CRDT state into a table cell if you wanted to do rich collaborative text editing for example. My goal is to solve replication/durability and leave the specifics of conflicts up to the developer.
I always wonder what people mean by "complex applications" when they associate them with mobile design and then contrast them with "simple applications" created with Delphi.

Guess that complexity is the same as number of spinners.
Its a drop in the bucket relatively speaking, more like insulation in terms of upfront cost to provide a benefit and reduce long term costs.

I think people flagged it because it is considered extremely poor-taste to share medical research not furnished by a doctor. It's fine to open a topic for discussion, but this is not a site staffed by trained medics or anything; most of us are nerds, we'll just be arguing over something inconsequential anyways.

So, I think your submission was good-faith but people were right to flag it. It's not really the sort of discussion that ever ends well online, especially when it's not a medical forum staffed by professionals that can mediate the discussion.

> you would not want to traverse these countries over land.

You probably wouldn't. But people do and it seems fine. Turkey and Iran have actually decent train networks now, so you don't even have to go by bus. I think you can go all the way to Zahedan. Cross at Taftan and then bus to Quetta, but from there you can hop on the train again to India, cross to Amritsar and on to Calcutta.

The basic architecture still matters. GPUs still lose throughput upon divergence regardless of their increased ability to run more kinds of divergent flows correctly due to having separate PCs, and SIMD still has more trouble with instruction latency (including due to bank conflict resolution in scatter/gather) than barrel threaded machines, etc. This is not to detract from the importance of the improvements to the base architecture made over time

At what point do you decide that this peephole optimization just isn't worth it?
Yes, that's us! We started out in the open source LLM space, but realized that most companies didn't really have any real use cases for custom fine-tuned LLMs. Maybe we were too early, but everyone we talked to was best served by just using OpenAI. Late last year, we started looking at other areas and became fascinated with AI-generated social media content, which sent us down a rabbit hole that led us to build Revideo. It's been a very long and painful process, but we now have a lot of really cool and smart users building really useful stuff, which is something we haven't experienced with any of our previous pivots.

In plenty of countries, there is already a tax system to punish "bad consuming choices": e.g. tobacco, alcohol, and in some places even products with excess sugar are taxed more than other products. In Europe, we call it "soda tax" or something. If you want to get academish, you can call it a Pigouvian tax.

I think it's perfectly OK. Peeping on someones digital data is not OK.
Uh, yes it's not.

Naively, untyped exceptions in Swift always felt like an obvious type system loophole that we should be closing as soon as possible.

>Google is petty sometimes.

Google has no idea how to develop and support a product, period. If that product or feature isn't bringing in billions in ad revenue, then it doesn't matter to them.

Exhibit A: Pixel getting shittier by the year
Exhibit B: Android wearables
Exhibit C: Android tablets
Exhibit D: Nest thermostats
Exhibit E: Google Home products not being able to properly work with each other despite being on the same WLAN and made by the same company
Exhibit F,G,H,I,J,K,ELEMENOPE

The weirdest one to me is the introduction of the IR temperature sensor on the Pixel 8 Pro, without the possibility to read skin temperature, which was added months later, this year. Just WHY?! It would have been cool to have during peak Covid infectious season, but not 2-4 years after, when nobody* gives a shit anymore about Covid.

I swear, product dev at Google is being run by one of those wind-up circus monkey toys playing the cymbals that Homer Simpson has in his head[1], and all engineers at Google just roll with it without question while Sundar is busy pumping the stock talking about AI. I'm waiting for them to introduces a Pixel with a temperature probe you'll have to stick up your *ss and it reads what you had for lunch and recommends you new restaurants on Google Maps.

This skill isn't needed anymore because fries are included in most meals.
The phone part is no different. It's easy to run your own FreeSWITCH or Asterisk server at home and connect a cellphone using Wireguard. It costs ~0.5$ US per month to get nearly unlimited everything. Calls and SMS work just fine. The problem is always mobility. You need either Wifi or some of those odd reseller brand ultra cheap pre-paid plans (like "1$ for the first 200mb" plans). Then you need to make sure only the voice/sms is allowed to use the data and you get a 2$ nationwide working cellphone. You can also share someone else plan by having them leaving their Phone wifi hotspot on.

As for reliability, well, that's your problem now, good luck!

Unfortunately, the poor ADC performance is due to a design / simulation error; at least you have to give them credit that they 'came clean' on the crappy performance, and explained it in the official documentation: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp2040/rp2040-datasheet.p... section 4.9

Politics follow ethics in democratic societies. However, our understanding of ethics is always developing. We now understand that homosexuality is ethical. We understand that transgenderism is ethical. There will be more things in the future where politics has to bow to our improved understanding of ethics. Ethics is always a foundation for democratic politics, because politics needs to govern how we as a society live together in peace.
> Boeing received orders for only four new planes in May

> The results released Tuesday compared unfavorably with Europe's Airbus, which reported net orders for 15 planes in May — 27 sales but 12 cancellations.
Simpler is better for these types of situations, so I agree!
In their best year so far they delivered 400 planes. That is 15 years of production.
They certainly do not have that power, legally. But they will just make something up in the report so no one questions the illegal search.

I'm torn on that. On one hand I agree with you that it's possibly a bit tone-deaf to ask people to spend a significant amount of their time outside their interview working on a take-home assignment. But:

* Live coding during an interview sucks. I'm not convinced interviewers actually learn all that much useful during those, and I know a lot of people who perform well on the job but choke up during interviews when there's a live coding component.

* It's not like there isn't precedent for this sort of thing outside tech. For example, marketing/sales positions will often require the interviewee to prep a mock presentation specifically for the interview. (That is, not something generic they can use for multiple interviews.)

I get that people have commitments outside of work, and that the ideal situation is that you're interviewing for a job while you already have one (so interviewing work is going to be on top of all your existing responsibilities). But at the same time, take-home assignments in tech are becoming more common, and refusing to do them is going to limit your options. And I don't think the usual "well I probably wouldn't enjoy working at a company that does $THING during their interviews" really applies here.

This is true, but whether or not it's all about the money isn't something anyone outside of your own head can determine. A recruiter or other outside interested party saying it is that person straight-up trying to manipulate you. That would be the red-flag part to me even if I were fine with a reduced pay rate.

I there is a surplus of electricity at night, then why have batteries? There seems to be no problem at all with just spot market demand in that case!

I thought the issue was that solar panels are generating electricity during the day only. So as someone with solar, you want to sell during the day and buy at night. No?

My point is, rather than using batteries to store huge amounts of energy and lose much of it in the process, find efficiencies and use credits instead.
Some excerpts, if you are region-locked:

- We are also designing and developing a more advanced family of microcontrollers, RP235x, which we expect to launch in the second half of 2024, as well as chipsets for use in our SBCs and compute modules for release thereafter.

- We continue to invest in the design and development of new SBC products, including successors to Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi Pico, that will incorporate future semiconductor products, including RP235x. We intend to develop new products that address customer requirements such as industrial temperature tolerance and onboard non-volatile storage. We also intend to continue working to extend the long-term availability of our older SBCs

This means on-board flash !

- We are designing and developing a family of microcontrollers, RP235x, which will serve as successors to RP2040, and which we expect to launch in second half of 2024. RP235x products are designed to operate at higher speeds, use less power and provide greater security than RP2040.
