I'm pretty sure ChromeOS is getting upstart from their Gentoo base, so what little maintenance it needs should be shared. And I do mean little maintenance; without systemd's infinite scope creep, an init system could reach "done" and coast indefinitely.
So your line is "Marijuana aesthetically displeases me and we're no longer jailing people for it, therefore drug war is good"?

Or is it "Fentanyl deaths exploding has happened despite it still not being legal to purchase, therefore somehow we need more drug war despite it having not prevented this outcome in any way"?

Somehow no matter what actually happens, it supports doing drug war harder. This doesn't sound like a very principled argument to me

Some drugs are probably not a great idea for most people. No drug is for everyone. Also, the state arresting people for what drugs they take adds a ton of problems without solving any, not the least of which being a fairly draconian police state that harms people who aren't even doing drugs, and we have decades of evidence that this is the case

What part can you regulate and control? Not the batteries or the motors, or the off the shelf microcontrollers.
They are also operating a location that, according to the article, sometimes sees 100+ cars lined up at the drivethrough. That isn't normal and should not last long. If this was a Starbucks or MacDonalds I would expect another location to be opened across the street in order to meet demand, slashing sales at the first location. The second location would probably be owned by the same franchise but likely not under the same floor manager.
It'd be so nice if basic needs were just met as part of the societal contract. Then work is the thing we do to fund the extras. People who can't work for whatever reason don't have to fight to survive and people who want to work or have more ambition can actually do something with the money they make.

Don't we all say that though?!? :) It's hard to measure the value if we can never try out the alternative and see where it would lead us.

> operate this? Do you spin up a new postgres DB for each unit test?

Generally I've seen a new database (schema in other dbs?) in postgres that is for testing, i.e "development_test" vs "development". The big thing is to wrap each of your tests in a transaction which gets rolled back after each test.

> maintain this, eg have good, representative testing data lying around

This is much harder. Maintaining good seed data - data that covers all the edge cases - is a large amount of work. It's generally easier to leave it up to each test to setup data specific to their test case, generalizing that data when possible (i.e if you're testing login endpoints, you have all your login test cases inherit from some logic specific data setup, and they can tweak as needed from there). You will end up with duplicated test setup logic. It's not that bad, and often you don't really want to DRY this data anyways.

That being said, if you have the time and resources to maintain seed data it's absolutely a better way to go about it. It's also beneficial outside of tests.

From TFA:

> The schools have agreed that if any phone is used by a pupil during the school day, it will be confiscated.

In my experience as a parent, this is nothing new. Until last year one of my children went to a very large secondary school in the UK (not in London though). The above was the rule for all of the seven years they were at the school: if you kept your phone out of sight and set to dnd then you were ok, but if it was visible then it was confiscated. My impression as a parent is that it was reasonably well observed by students and enforced by staff.

Context: We have an election here in the UK in ~2 weeks and phones in schools have been a minor moral panic issue that some of the parties are trying to use to assert their education credentials. I'm not saying there is no problem with children and phones - I believe there is - but theres a reason its getting attention at the moment.
A few things to note here.

1.) DJI offers many drones related to infrastructure mapping and maintenance, as well as agricultural tasks. From a national security perspective, it is a non-trivial threat vector for a Chinese company to not only have intimate knowledge of US infrastructure by being their drone supplier, but also by becoming a dependency of US infrastructure. In the event of a war, all of the drones could be grounded or used for nefarious purposes.

2.) When it comes to protectionism, I'm generally against it, but I have different thoughts when it comes to China. They have banned Uber, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, etc, and just make their own versions of it. Then they have absolutely no respect for international laws when it comes to IP. They don't compete economically according to the same rules as everyone else, and don't deserve to be treated the same way.

3.) I have 2 DJI drones. The fact that there is no mention of compensation in this legislature is absurd. Fortunately, I don't rely on these for my business, but imagine if you were a filmmaker, tree trimmer, real estate agent, etc, who had bought many drones for your business. Not only are you grounding the tools that they've already come to depend on, but there isn't an existing viable alternative on the market for many of these tasks.

Or 3D printers! You can print scary "ghost guns" with them. And they're mostly made in China. Although maybe Stratasys will push for that next now that they're lost their stranglehold on the market.
This is plainly idiotic. Smartphones are great for having useful apps for studying such as dictionaries and translators, they provide access to Wikipedia and means to communicate with other kids. They also make parents feel less stressful knowing they can always call or message their kids. Whoever came up with this idea is a retrograde.
On the other hand startup culture and entrepreneurship are much more common in the US, compared with the EU. But the latter does not tie health insurance to employment, in most countries. Probably other factors are more important.
You're talking about very old events. Intel made mistakes during 2000-2005 (which allowed the rise of Opteron) but they crushed it from 2006-2016. Then they had different problems from 2016-2024.
> people need to open their car door and half lean out to reach the screen

Couldn't we just have the screen move towards the user, using a basic proximity sensor? We've had car wash systems adapt to the car's size for quite a few years now, so it should be a relatively cheap solution, no?
It's the other way around. RLHF is needed for the model to say "I don't know".
You're assuming children (on average) have the same capacity to make reasoned decisions as adults so long as you just "teach" them.

There's a reason why we don't let 8-year-olds drive, and its not just that nobody bothered to take the time to teach them.

And no, no matter how many times I tell my three-year-old the stove is hot, I'm not going to put them in charge of cooking dinner on the stove. Instead, I'll ban them from using the stove outside of extremely supervised limited circumstances. I'm also not going to put them in charge of chopping things with sharp knives either. Instead I'll find other more age-appropriate ways for them to participate in making the meal.

Sales Whisperer: A Human-Inconspicuous Attack on LLM Brand Recommendations
IIUC (and I haven't RTFA but from my recollection of my conversations with Jonah around that same time frame) there is not really a game yet, it's more of a platform, with "trading" intended to be a possible feature of some games.
Sounds like commonsense to me. This was the policy when I went to school too - use a phone during school time and it's confiscated.
We do have a baby carrier but to do that would effectively remove the 30m post-work playtime. And I'm not always feeling up to a decent walk with 12kg strapped to my chest after a rough night's sleep! So yes, technically doable but imo not worth the reduction to quality of life.
but why? if im a teacher getting wind of cyberbullying, or a photo being shared, what should i do? call the police every time?

im telling you, the police will not like that policy any more than the students.

you're in a school. you don't have the right to do whatever you please.

At several places I worked at, we would snapshot the production DB, and use that for testing. You cannot get more ”real-world“ than that. We would also record real requests, and replay them (optionally at increased speed) for load testing.

Obviously, there are some caveats, e.g.:

* While this approach works perfectly for some tests (load testing, performance testing, …), it does not work for others (e.g. unit testing).

* You have to be careful about PII, and sanitize your data.

I believe you underestimate the need for "brand".

You require a majority to institute a policy. Practically zero people believe in policies identical to yours. The only way for you to get any of your policy preferences is to find people whose policies you can live with, and who can live with yours. You will usually disagree with them, but they're better than the people who hate most of your policies and will do exactly the opposite.

That fact would seem to make democracy barely tenable at best. It becomes entirely untenable when you can't even identify your own brand any more.

There are tens of millions of people who would say "Of course I would never vote for a felon who attempted to overthrow an election." But they will find a "but...", for reasons that are objectively irrational but completely coherent in their own heads.

I point that out because, whatever policy you want, you're going to need brand-mates. A lot of them. The more you need, the more you people you'll dislike having on your side. But it's unlikely to be beneficial to say, "Forget it, I'll take the greater of two evils."
Can the students use other computing devices like Chromebooks or iPads with restrictions in place? Overall, this is likely a success for the schools who can commit and the students willing to compromise.
Independent music and independent publishing was, in my opinion, thriving even just 25 years ago in a rhizome of record shops and small venues which are getting stomped on by streaming culture and ecommerce platforms. It was certainly always hard, but also certainly doable if you put the work in to make the economics of it possible. It seems like now the same energy is going into carving out a following on ad-driven social media and streaming platforms, plus a dozen small side-hustles.

What I'm hopeful about though is that things like patreon are making the idea of supporting artists you appreciate directly somewhat more normal, but streaming platforms are not doing any favors for musicians in my opinion.
So the people that get better have their brains size reduced?
Dumb phone things, apps for blood sugar monitoring, checking public transport delays,....

There are enough stories about children dying because schools locked away medication. I have very little trust that schools will apply any common sense.
In general I have fake IO object and a real IO object. Then run the same bunch of tests against them to make sure behaviour matches. You have verified your mock has the same behaviour as the real thing.

I then run unit tests against the fake io object. I don't mock internals, only boundaries. If for whatever reason i want to test it against the real db i can simply swap out the fake for the real object.

Confiscating phones from children for an entire week is an unhinged idea. Confiscating for the rest of the school day I can understand, but not giving them the phone back when they go home is dangerous.

At some point a child will get abducted on their way home from school, or be unable to contact emergency services, because the school confiscated their phone.

They seem to want parents to buy dumb phones instead for their children. Can you imagine trying to text “I’m being followed by someone on XYZ road” on a Nokia-style keyboard? Do dumb phones support sending GPS coordinates to emergency services like smartphones do?

Even mundane things like what if a child’s train gets cancelled and they need to check Google Maps to find an alternative way home.

"Haskell never got the “killer framework” like Rails or Spark that allowed to become more mainstream"

Why I use fountain pens with pen plotters

It also makes me wonder how different the packing efficiency would be- gas station fuel dispensers have short hoses and lots of safety features related to avoiding a spill, and it all takes up space. A fast EV charging station might still look more like a parking lot.

Agreed. Just like re-usable plastic bags are now possibly worse than 1-time use unless they themselves are used many times.

> A receipt that can be rotated is somehow a difference maker

This is the concept behind metro bus services in many places I've experienced, the driver glances at the color of your ticket and knows it's nature and whether you can keep riding or not. Don't know if that's a difference maker for conferences.

Looking for "badgers", or a syncronized icon instead of time/date etc., possibly coming at you in many different forms (phone, paper forms, etc) seems like it might be quicker. It might also cut down on people losing their badges (they are more valuable to them) and requiring re-prints ... which happens a lot, this is grasping.
I genuinely think there's a difference between young people having access to the internet, and young people having access to social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)

Social media is designed to be addictive. Much of the internet is not. I'm increasingly in favor of banning Facebook and Instagram to under 18s.
"Programming in Haskell" by Graham Hutton has a few small text mode games in the second half of the book: Nim, Hangman, the game of life, and Tic-Tac-Toe; and it walks you through the minimax algorithm. The author also implements a solution to the countdown problem, which is hard to explain, so as an example, you're given a sequence of numbers [1, 3, 7, 10, 25, 50] and the target 765; a correct solution is (1+50)*(25-10).

The first half of the book is more geared towards a newbie to functional programming in general.
Mek here, program lead for OpenLibrary.org at the Internet Archive with important updates and a way for library lovers to help protect an Internet that champions library values.

In less than two weeks, on June 28th, the courts will hear the oral argument for the Internet Archive's appeal.

What's at stake is the fundamental ability for library patrons to continue borrowing and reading the books the Internet Archive owns, like any other library.

Monopoly on labor

This is an interesting theory, but the state, via right to work laws alone, has weakened labor unions to the point where you obviously can't make this claim with a straight face.
All the same things as internet connected computers in general — world's information at your fingertips, quiz apps to reduce the delay between doing a test and finding out what you need to focus on, etc. — except easier to take on field trips and hook up with heart rate monitors during PE.
Or alternatively, the customer simply DGAF about the quality of their $1.25 purchase.

I have $1.25 bulbs in my home. I use them in unimportant locations with infrequent use. They are perfectly serviceable for this use.

> The customer will choose the cheap bulbs because they can't be sure the expensive ones are better quality. They often aren't.

This is a big problem for all consumer products. The root of the problem is that most consumers are wholly unqualified to be a judge of engineering quality themselves, few even know how to effectively obtain trustworthy information about quality, and those who do often value their time more than the effort required to do so. For larger purchases, some people who care to be informed will do some research, but I don't really think there's a solution for products <$500.

> The problem is how compensation works in streaming.

That may be ONE problem.

I think a more serious problem is that small venues are closing. It's partly gentrifcation, forcing residents into neighbourhoods that were formerly industrial (and so allowed noise). The new residents complain about noise, and a venue that's been running for 40 years gets shuttered.

I don’t buy this argument at all, if someone is abducting children taking their phone away will be an absolutely trivial first step. I know this might shock you be there was a time before phones and everything was totally okay.
Do you have kids? I have a 4-year old girl. And while parenting is so much harder without iPad and iPhone, my daughter is genuinely more interested in the world and imagination play than looking at screens. At age 2, was curious about the other kids with iPads, but now she shows no interest in screens. And we’re doing fine with static or minimally electronic toys. She has a whole adolescent/adult life ahead of her of screens.

This is about a developing child’s mind and the precautionary principle of knowing with the evidence we have now that social media is extremely harmful to mental health, especially to adolescent girls. This is not the same as outlawing alcohol to grown adults.
