I had T-Mobile starting in ~2003 and it included unlimited tethering.

After they introduced the Netflix included offer I inquired and they offered an "upgrade" that they swore up and down would not change my current service.

After agreeing, I was traveling and tried to tether and boom nothing. Their upgrade that would change nothing got me out of this grandfathered situation. Over time the cost of Netflix resulted in a higher fee for Netflix and ultimately I pay more for less.

Can't trust any company not to do anything in their power to squeeze another dime out of you.

DJI isn't just a drone company. They've been actively moving into audio/video production very rapidly. If this ban sticks, they will lose their FCC license, and your Pocket 3 camera (or any DJI device) will no longer be able to connect to your phone.
Minimal (outside of the fact that a lot of the money given to Bombardier resulted in equity for Quebec and wasn't just handouts; but in terms of % of the whole program it's a wash).

Yet Canada isn't out there banning Boeing planes or asking for 300% tariffs on them for "unfair competition".
Anyone who is overly zealous about anything is always wrong in the end. Including testing.

"Why would people mock everything? Why not stand up a real test db and test on it?" Because the test zealous have explicitly declared that EACH test should be atomic. Yes you can find these people at major tech conferences. Each test should mock its own db, web service, etc. Every single time. And it should do that in no more than a few milliseconds, so that the entire project compiles in no more than 2mins, even for the largest and most complex corporate projects. And these tests should be fully end-to-end, even for complex microservices across complex networking architecture.

Some of you may be rolling on the floor laughing at how naive and time-consuming such a project would be.

We all agree such testing is a noble goal. But you need a team of absolute geniuses who do nothing but write "clever" code all day to get there in any sizeable project.

My organization won't hire or pay those people, no matter what they say about having 100% coverage. We just do the best we can, cheat, and lower the targets as necessary.
There is no Nyquist frequency in analog. The Nyquist frequency only appears when we're going between a continuous (analog) system and a discrete (digital) system.

For a real receiver circuit you'd want to sample at least once a symbol obviously (so RX sample rate equals the baud rate). In practice you'd want more than that so you can better do DSP afterwards to remove channel losses and such.
For a test instrument, it's going to depend on what exactly you want to see. Most standards define a required filter shape and BW for testing and you need enough sample rate in your scope to be able to implement this (usually in DSP).

Are you saying diversity in art is signified by the artist's race and sex?
Yes, this bit me last week. I stumble over it about once a year. Recently encountered it in an open source project and filed an issue. I don't know where I fall on the "experienced" spectrum, but I've written a lot of python in the last 10 years.
Totally deserved for a morally corrupt business.

Argument by exaggeration:

For car crash tests, we should always use full humans. A test dummy might have a lot of sensors and be constructed to behave like a human in a crash, but you'll never get the full crash details with a doll.

Notice the problem here? This argument does not consider the costs and risks associated with each approach.

For testing, IO is very expensive. It leads to huge CI setups and testsuites that take multiple hours to run. There is no way around this except using some kind of test double.
SaaS itself is fine.
A lot of software has recurring costs for the saas company (think clarifai, chatgpt, or circleci)

Subscriptions for software that you run on your own machine is a little much tho.

pretty useful site for me to keep up with all the stuffs out there

but the design should be optimized, for me it seems too dense within the cards and having the category directory on the right is a bit distracting

Have you never been to a book store?

You don't have to read every word of a book to understand if it's interesting to you. I purchased a bunch of technical books the other day that I had never heard of based on opening them up, reading a bit of the intro and flipping through the examples.

Relatively few of my favorite books have come through recommendations compared to those that I have come across through serendipitous discovery.

For anyone who has no time to browse books, then most of the best books in existence would be of little interest to that person.
This is not an accident.
The OP link is a nextjs-powered site, I presume they're reporting an error that came up opening the link?

Depends on the schools. There are many that don't issue physical text books, or rarely do. But that's really not any different from my college experience (with a larger laptop no less). Also, if you are using the textbook and worksheet, you really shouldn't need anything else.
You can just use Common Crawl. They have archives of their scrape data going back to 2008.
Though, PAIP covers a lot of SICP content, but differently. It also includes implementations of programming languages. PAIP is only partly an introductory text to Common Lisp, it's more about actual software design and development with Common Lisp.

IMHO PAIP is extremely well written. Book and Code: https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp

SICP has a mixed reception. Many find it excellent, others find it to focused to teach CS concepts in a math-oriented way. Thus there have been written several alternatives to SICP, using Scheme, Logo, other Functional Programming Languages, ... I think it's a great book, with a lot of excellent books written as a reaction to it.

I’m thinking: minidisc players!

Heh, no.

You are suggesting to replace FP languages with powerful type systems that perform marginally slower than C# and Java (and can access their ecosystems) with a language that is dynamically typed and performs, in most situations, marginally slower than PHP and marginally faster than Ruby.
"Group Theory in the Bedroom, and Other Mathematical Diversions" by Brian Hayes. It is a bunch of essays and are fairly approachable. Some of the titles are a bit risque but all of them are safe for work and interesting.
As far as I understand it, the point isn't just to pressurize the propellant to get it out of the tank and into the engine, but to maintain pressure so that the propellant remains liquid.

If the pressure in the tank drops, the propellant would turn into gas which would effectively be lost and potentially dangerous (by allowing flames to go the wrong way).

As your link points out, helium is nice because it is inert and remains a gas even at liquid hydrogen temperatures.
The sicker thing to me is how she (like many) was actually relatively moderate until she completely hitched her wagon onto the Trump train. Another Profile in Cowardice. An overview: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/women-rule/2023/01/06/t...

All of these politicians who have these completely transactional relationships, I just find utterly gross. I mean, do they have any actual friends? For example, Trump completely disparaged Ted Cruz's wife and father in 2016, Cruz called Trump a "pathological liar" back then, only to do a total 180 and turn into another boot licker.
I recommend a one-time Fox-it PDF pro purchase. While they too are getting into subscriptions they still make a one-time purchase available.

Things were different in 1960s/1970s since at that time there weren't huge catalogues of works owned by a just few media companies, although there were far fewer channels (with less and more expensive bandwidth.)

In our time, most of the rights to 100 years of pop culture is owned by three big media companies, and they own stakes in distribution channels. The catalogues give them power to bargain for promotion in various channels. That's how it used to work in radio [0], and is suspected to work in music streaming [1].

I suspect revoking extensions to copyright/IP laws [2, for example] would change the picture.

By 2019 at my high school those rules were in place but not enforced.
Agencies have the powers specifically delegated to them by Congress. That’s different in every case because there are different politicians in power when various laws are passed and the political factors vary. In cases like this, you really want to contact your congressional representatives because they will hear a lot from the companies who see enough revenue to make it a lobbying point and might figure that the general public doesn’t really see it as a priority.
And I'm saying there are actual real-world limitations that determine why things are the way the are, and not merely laziness or unprofessionalism.
That's one of the arguments being made by TikTok in their challenge against the "TikTok ban" bill.
Then please go tell all the publications and researcher that they are wrong for using the term "Epigenetic memory" in thier domain. Or are you a domain expert (in the minority if you are)?
I might be way off the mark, but I get the sense with a lot of the indie hackers it is less about the money and more about the attraction of the community and the sense of belonging. If you "build in public" you'll get attention and will be cheered on by the others doing the same.

If they were really in it for the money then spending all of their free time for a couple of years to get a few hundred dollars MRR would be a fail, yet many of them keep at it. I suspect the rewards they get from being an active part of the community feel worth it.

I think a better choice is to either go day job + hobby that isn't for money, as restricting yourself to what makes money is going to be less enjoyable. Or day job + heavily profit focused side business with the goal of quickly replacing your day job with said business, then freeing up some time to have your hobbies again. I think the mistake is trying to do both at the same time. You can't really focus on both profit and personal enjoyment in the same project (unless profit is a big source of enjoyment for you).
No, static typing proves correctness (with respect to the types), which unit testing doesn’t do.
The word for the activity occurring in your second sentence used to just be called "hosting".

The problem is that there are fewer and fewer pieces of software that aren't hosted somewhere.
I think the discussion has been all about high speed serial, so it's correct to say that the signal bandwidth starts at DC (or very close to it, there's often AC coupling) due to NRZ or PAM encoding.

Nobody's considering that Butch and Suni want to stay in space?
Is that a pro-tip? I mean, I wouldn't give them a penny more for having this attitude towards customers in first place. The real pro-tip at least for me would be to pay once for a product that I can use without being enslaved to a for-life subscription. It really really pisses me off how most commercial software is offered today. F** all that.
Something I never entirely get about the credit card business is how they can offer deals without it being obvious they only make money if you make mistakes?

If it was a good deal for me, surely the bank loses some money on that?
Alright you're just talking about a different operation entirely but have decided to give it the name "addition". Not particularly insightful, but thanks anyway.
I really hope the GP's comment is sarcasm, an attempt to point out how the capitalist incentives steamroll over real people in the pursuit of profit.
Anybody remember the Business Software Alliance[0] from years ago threatening to audit your company for using unlicensed software?

I'm curious if Anzu Robotics would be permitted under the ban. For those unfamiliar, they use DJI Mavic 3 hardware manufactured in Malaysia with US-written software: https://www.therobotreport.com/anzu-robotics-launches-u-s-ba...
This is a reasonably bad faith take of their response. Their “predatory” assertion was with regards to saying “who’s going to pick up garbage” as if we have to keep making that a low paying job for the bottom rung of society, not “where do we draw the line between essential and necessity”. The point is to make undesirable jobs actually well compensated for their desirableness rather than here is a job, take it or leave it.

I don’t think they intentionally excluded healthcare or comfortable living from essential needs. Yes the threshold for essential is fuzzy, but it’s a pretty damn low bar that isn’t being met for many people (in the US at least), but could be at a relatively low cost.
Mark Nappi, vice president of Boeing's Commercial Crew Program, added, "We have an incredible opportunity to spend more time at station and perform more tests which provides invaluable data unique to our position."

Weird they just didn't plan for this incredible opportunity from the start but sounds like they are just taking extra time as an opportunity not because they need to evaluate any safety issues (at least per Boeing).

That's why you always sign up for one of these things with something like Revolut, which will give you a new credit card number for each subscription.

Why do doctors have families on top of a demanding career then complain about it when they are over burdened? They put themselves in that situation. They can also leave that situation whenever they want.

Your story matches my experience, but it always makes me think, why did this person want to work with you in the first place?

A great Haskell programmer (generally speaking) is going to be a culture misfit in any Java, C#, golang, etc shop. I know because I've been that miserable bastard who loves functional programming working with Java devs who don't know anything about FP and couldn't care less. To be clear I'm not saying you can't find a compatible Java shop (I actually did find a startup with a lot of Java devs who appreciated FP and used much of it in Java, and that was pretty great honestly), just that the odds are highly against you.

My biggest advice to people who like FP is: Find a job in a language like Clojure, Elixir, Scala, etc. There are a lot more jobs than you'd think. But if you can't, Ruby and Javascript/Typescript can be pretty close depending on where you go. Talk to existing devs and see how feel about FP in general before you join though!
Went to GIMP years ago and never looked back.
I totally agree, there is a balance between what makes sense to mock, and what needs proper integration tests.

Additionally, just using integration tests does not guarantee that edge cases are covered, and you can just as easily write integration tests for happy path, without thinking about the rest.
Interesting, almost all drive-throughs here have an awning.
I get the impression from my friends in the animation industry that Toon Boom’s animation suite pretty much dominates the industry. Flash hung on a while but TB has so many features designed for the particular craft of assembling a small army of people who collaborate on making a moving and talking drawing.

I keep on thinking of ditching ~25y of specializing in Illustrator for TB lately but I really just do not feel like paying $1k/y for a subscription to it. They have cheaper subscriptions but one of the ways they differentiate them is by limiting the effects, and “constantly pushing the limits of Illustrator’s effect system” is one of the reasons I want to move on from it.
i dont understand why everyone just doesn't do this unless they are working with really large volumes of test data. it literally takes a fraction of a second to mkdir, call pginit, and open a postgres socket.

idk if you've solved this, but PG doesn't like to bind to 0, so you have to manage ports. And I've had issues with processes sticking around if the test driver has crashed (I dont currently, but i'm turning off setsid in postgres).
Sounds like you have beef with leetcode. I think that comment was referencing the problems on leetcode tagged with the "hard" label.

Cancelled my lightroom cloud account last night and was very surprised at the "early cancellation fee". Only made me upset and more determined to move off to something else! Very happy to see this post this morning.
a couple things to consider:

* high turnover impacts efficiency.

* Exhausted doctors make mistakes which will lead to malpractice lawsuits

I think incentives are misaligned across the board in the medical industry. This goes for doctors, patients, hospitals, insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, medical equipment/material supply companies and probably everyone else connected to the industry.

These poor incentives lead to pathologies that drive up costs and result in poor patient outcomes.

Anyone who has encountered a "prior authorization" when trying to get a time sensitive medication filled has experienced this.

Some doctors are opting to "drop out" of the counterproductive insurance game by accepting only cash payments, but that only solves a small part of the problem.
States have always been able to Get Things Done quickly, at the expense of individual rights (eminent domain, conscription, ethnic cleansing, etc.), and private enterprise has always been able to Get Things Done quickly at the expense of collective rights (union busting, ignoring pollution externalities, discrimination, etc.).

The art is in the balance.
Run in backwards, so they say, but not really. Most things you'll write can't run backwards. You have to write them in a special way for that to be possible, and even then what it means is that you can do a depth first search to find the value.

There are some useful extensions like clpfd and asp but really if what you're doing is solving a constraint programming problem, you're much better of with OR-tools or MiniZinc.

Prolog is beautiful. I have practically no use for it. I've struggled to find something I can do better with Prolog than other tools, but I just love it aesthetically and that's enough for me sometimes.
Great! lets all now be blue collar! And that'll lead to the same problem we have with too many college grads.
Europe (i.e. Austria) seems to have this down pretty well. Of course, the trade-off is no hyper capitalism, really high taxes and getting most innovations much later than most.

On the other hand no Austrian citizen had to worry about starving, affording higher education, landing on the streets, getting medical care, etc. in a long long long(!) while.
"Isn't the more parsimonious explanation that our culture is now composed of poor critical thinkers who are poorly educated, lack sophistication and nuance, and accordingly have terrible taste?"

Hasn't this always been true though? Widespread public education systems did not exist for 99.9999% of human history. How could it be that education is more present in the world than it has ever been in history yet we somehow have worse critical thinking skills? Blaming the ills of society on education doesn't make much sense when we've had societies much longer than we've had public education.
