The more time you spend with the call center, the more it costs the parent company. They don't like long calls.

If your call lasts long enough, it will get reviewed by a manager. Your class of complaint will end up on a tally.

Enough of these, and someone does something.
The parking lot of every Walmart smells like a long beach swap meet.
I feel the use of "vectors" and "arrays" together makes it a bit confusing but I guess the title "Static arrays are the best dynamic arrays" would be even more confusing...
That is an inspiring read. I almost went down this path when I got laid off last. I still somewhat regret taking up a corporate job back then instead of focusing on something else. But then, I probably wasn't ready. Thanks for writing this Peter.
Hmm, yet another pandemic era "Fact checking NGO partner" that knows what we should know better than we do. These propaganda outfits stand over a void of exposed lies they were created to defend and promote.

Is it still "misinformation" to question the COVID vaccines effectiveness, or its source, or the source of things like "6ft distancing?" What other "misinformation" has this outfit proudly fought that has turned out to have been true all along?
The initial events described in the article happened around 20 years ago.
What I meant to say is that I felt his review was superficial and without insight. He had nothing but good words and mostly described the various functions of the unit as if reading them from the spec sheet, noting those that he introduced himself in the OG MPC.

It's not uninteresting material but it feels more like an endorsement than an actual review.

The MPC Live is a great machine, but it does require serious investment (like any complex groovebox) to internalize it's operation and become proficient with. It would have been interesting to hear Mr. Linn expand on the various design choices he made that still persist in the new units and maybe add a bit of product history, anecdotes, etc. Which could be done while preserving the "objectivity".

Not sure where you're from, but in most of the US "apartments" are not assets, but liabilities: tenants don't own them, but rent them. We generally call them "condos" when owned.
For a one-off project probably not, for the larger ecosystem time's going to get spent on case design and debugging manufacturing regardless so any gains there are a rounding error. That said I've seen talented designers spend weeks chasing cross-browser bugs and I knew a guy who could lay out and solder an entire mixing board over a long weekend so I'm not convinced the time savings are real.
Then parts touching the condesation get soggy.
DeepSeek V2 was largely dismissed on HN due to being large and require non-trivial (i.e. vanilla llama.cpp or even vLLM does not run it) software to run (my guess). And their hosted API is heavily censored because of China.

Let's see whether Coder-V2 (given the good reputation of DeepSeek-Coder) can be popular.
That’s not a problem for cases like a dispatcher that forks off a child per request and the memory intensive work is done in child space. In fact it can result in admirably simple and stable software. Things have probably changed but that used to be how telco software managed trunks.
D2 from CloudFlare is seriously in need of a GUI like this (or, really, any GUI).
> How can a heating system be inefficient? Does it generate too much waste heat?

Yeah, they do:

1) Heat that's present when people aren't is unnecessary heat.

2) Heat that leaks out of the building is wasted heat.

So isolate the building better...? Yes, of course... But you can never isolate 100%. And heat that's present while people aren't -- see 1) above -- is heat that can (and, to some extent, will!) leak out before ever warming anyone.
Given GP's question, they're likely not someone who would spontaneously whip up an openbsd router.

Maybe they don't care to fiddle with a command line, read up on dhcp servers, ipv6 router advertisements, pf configuration and what have you. In such a case, throwing opnsense on some machine, clicking around on three pages and calling it a day isn't that bad.

The experience is close enough to an off-the-shelf router (except for the installation part), all the while getting a much better security situation.
From personal experience: in the UK also.
Few years back I ordered something from the internet. I forgot what exactly went wrong, but some JS nonsense prevented me from doing what I wanted to do and I no choice but to use this website.

So I opened the inspector to remove that event handler or whatnot.

My girlfriend was sitting next to me. "What are you doing?", "Oh, just need to edit this so it allows me to continue." The look on her face was priceless. "You-you c-can do that?! You're allowed to just do that?!" To be fair, I can understand her apprehension as I was wearing a balaclava and black gloves.

This could be a great use of gen AI. It's great for anything where the pattern is the rule itself. e.g. it can generate perfect English grammar, but struggles with what is true or not outside of that context. Molecular interactions are more similar to grammar.
Pin 9 is there to power the EEPROM in the monitor fromthe computer even when the monitor is turned off, so monitors providing 5V there would lead to same kind of problems as there are with DisplayPort pin 20 and cheap cables that connect this pin through (which would be correct for DP 1.0, but there are no DP 1.0 products).
The creativity displayed in spotting the opportunities is really impressive.
Inline assembly also has support for symbol names, although the native symbols could not be accessed directly but in a bit awkward way.

> My favorite example of this is implementing quicksort. It's significantly easier in C than it is in Haskell.

Oh please, what's so hard about

qsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]
qsort [] = []
qsort (p:xs) = qsort lesser ++ [p] ++ qsort greater
where
lesser = filter (< p) xs
greater = filter (>= p) xs

:)

folks, take that with a big ol /s, you would never want to actually use that algorithm. But the real deal isn't all that awful: https://mmhaskell.com/blog/2019/5/13/quicksort-with-haskell
I was a college dropout and self taught bash and python programmer and quite some time ago, I read about Haskell, decided to teach myself to use it, and then realized I had absolutely no idea what programming actually was, and basically spent the next 15 years teaching myself computer science, category theory, abstract algebra and so on, so that I could finally understand Haskell code.

I still don't understand Haskell, but it did help me learn Rust when I decided to learn that. And I think I could explain what a monad is.

Writing garbage data you don't need anymore to disk (and reading it back for partial writes) is hardly an elegant solution.
Thanks, that all makes a lot of sense.

As to why it felt off: identical patterns across as-yet unconnected distributions is usually an early indicator of undiscovered relation.

Your suggestion of language steering toward open syllables may well be that relationship.
This is such an odd preoccupation of places like the guardian and has a lot of the hallmarks of the discredited recovered memory movement/therapy[1][2]. There's never any discussion of epigentic changes that effect somatic cells vs gametes, or even of the competing definitions of epigenetic changes.

Here's a quote from the article:

> Scientists working in the emerging field of epigenetics have discovered the mechanism that allows lived experience and acquired knowledge to be passed on within one generation

This is obviously such a nonsense interpretation of epigenetic changes that it's hard to take anything in the article seriously.

Obviously there's real science happening around epigenetics and there are interesting findings, reporting like this is a really big leap.

Having worked for a variety of corporate structures, I'd agree that franchise models tend to have... a bit more ruthless approach to everything. (Even unintentionally)

When "the business" is literally outside your company, you get the same dynamics as when it's in another org structure, except even worse.
I'm not so sure about that people like that idiot.
Incompetent, autocratic managers (as you describe) will sooner or later cause huge problems. You're already seeing the problems start in the declining team satisfaction ratings. Sooner or later, major problems can happen. Unfortunately, the decline can take years. My advice is to care. Since you (and apparently others) have gone around the manager to the director without any resolution, it's time to start looking for a new job. Assuming you're in the US, your employer owes you next to no loyalty, and uses your emotional attachment to the job or the product to bind you to the situation. Rewrite your resume and quietly start looking.

...aaaaand, I just took a gander over at VyOS. They really need to make it abundantly clear in their "how to build" documentation that unless you're a paying customer or recognized contributor, you no longer can build an LTS release. That is not at all mentioned in the build instructions, and so there's no point in doing a local build [ETA: unless you're customizing the code] when the nightlies are available for download.

I then looked at their subscription pricing and realized that individuals are not their market, not at all. So, yeah, if I want to run VyOS, I have to put up with rolling releases. :(

Not any European supermarket I've ever seen - to most I would have to bring an additional layer for any serious shopping, or have basically guaranteed some form of cold for next few days.

Selected veggies & fruits, all dairy, meat and so on - very cold places to be, even when ignoring freezer sections. And the cold seeps to other aisles and reaches quite far. But maybe French or Swiss people where I live have different acceptance criteria for this compared to say US, although my impression from US in the past was AC everywhere.
A media professor of mine had a huge collection of political commercials (and other politically-oriented media) in pre-VHS video. He passed away quite young and I assume that material was lost to the sands of time at some point. A lot of pre-digital media sort of depended on someone making a really serious effort to preserve it in some manner.

Lots of distros were sold on book stores with a small intro manual. They had points on how to install the docs thru apt.
Appreciate the post. Was in a similar situation myself - always wanted to be an "entrepreneur" but ultimately, needing to survive to feed the family is what kickstarted it all. I really appreciated how, even though you didn't have a technical background, you found a path that works for you and even more so, focusing on what you CAN do vs what you CAN'T do. And sometimes, you do get hosed on a deal at the start before you establish trust and credibility and then eventually learning your way around the trade.
Given android doesn't use systemd, and containers don't expose it even if the host machine uses it, systemd isn't actually that entrenched or irreversible. Containerized applications don't know or care, and neither do all the people toting around android as phones, tablets, or laptops. Unix may only be tied together as a concept at this point by a posixish libc api, and that is probably just fine.
Well-known paradox of R-squared is still buggin me. Can you help me out?
When you get so big that you think you can start telling your customers what they want instead of listening to them, this is what happens. Novell did the same thing with small/medium business LANs. In DEC's case, they thought they could become IBM by hiring people that IBM either fired or didn't hire. This in turn led to telling the customer what they wanted since that's how they thought IBM's sales process worked. We all know where that ended up. The story is old as the hills and the result is always the same. Boeing is going through it right now; They absorbed the McDonnell Douglas corporate culture and forced out everyone who didn't agree, and now the same chickens that sank McDonnell Douglas are coming home to roost at Boeing.

(general perspective here, not specific of the exact case). It could be that _no_ book will be sufficient for that outcome. Because a book might not be the right tool. One might need to practice, get out there and actually do things. If so, it can be ethical to sell that it is a part of getting to the outcome wanted. Especially if one provides tips&tricks for the beyond-the-book part. Those kinds of things will be be great candidates for content marketing, or even small giveaways (commoditize your compliment), or partnering to offer the other parts of the package.
> You can have mutability in Haskell too.

Haskell enforces this via a type system.

What safeguards around mutability does Clojure have?

If I import a method 'foo()', is there any kind of contract, notation ... anything which could suggest whether it mutates or not?

This is less wat. when you write it like

eager:
for item in loop():
item()

lazy:
items = []
for item in loop():
items.append(item)

for item in items:
item()

Each next() into loop increments a shared counter so when you print it out as you go it 1, 2, 3 but when you print it out once you've called it a bunch is 9, 9, 9.
One can imagine them, but by logical extension and evolution of AI models/implementations such adversarial briefs will become orders of magnitude more improbable.

See for example: https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/blog/2024/03/11/AutoDefe...

AI adjudications become a question of when - not if. Likely at first supervised by humans, but for how long will that remain the case as the pressure mounts. The consequences of this and expediting the justice system will be truly profound - perhaps even more so in developing nations whereby the access to justice is so unevenly distributed/unreliable. A non-functioning justice system is at the root of many societal issues.

However, it's also not a stretch to think of the continued descent into an Orwellian dystopia in which individual liberties and freedom are curtailed.

I feel as though I switch between a sense of optimism and being utterly terrified.
I've often heard the narrative from hiring managers over the years that a prospect who's been laid off probably doesn't make a good hire, especially if they've been laid off multiple times.

In this wonderfully written and inspiring piece, perhaps we should consider that the real issue isn't the individual's capability but rather that their potential has been misdirected or they haven't been in environments that recognize and cultivate their unique skills.

(Rosie is a code janitor program at Google that takes a change that affects files all across the tree and automatically cuts it into individual changes that can be mailed out to the individual teams as CLs/PRs for their approval.)

Rosie existed but very much wanted to break up the CL into independent per-directory CLs, and since I was editing one file in every directory in the entire tree, that would have been 200,000 independent CLs. I broke the list up by top-level directory or sub-directory and hit 100+ directories at a time.

Rosie also really wants to run each affected directory's tests, and I did not, because at scale flaky tests and such would be a significant source of false positives. The bit-for-bit check on the internal parsed representation of the meaning of the BUILD file proved that the changes were no-ops. That was better than any tests of the code in the directory.

I was already automating everything else, including deciding which files to change, reverting edits in files that were concurrently modified (they got swept into the next attempt), and the testing. Running a shell command to actually make the CLs was not difficult. And it generating the approval script trivial too.

Rosie is great but it wasn't the right tool for this job.

It's a fun theory, and sounds rather plausible at first blush, but do so many of the upper management class really have so many commercial real estate investments that they're willing to break the effectiveness of their core business?

I know of at least one company with an RTO drive but leased the office, and the land owner doesn't have external shareholders. Also the company paid for quite a snack supply, so backsides in seats actively cost a relatively small but still not trivial amount of money.

You want me not to bother the customer service reps? Give me a different way to interact with the company. But I'm not going to pity anyone who stays at that job (I did my time in customer service; I have the wherewithall to leave every emotion from one call with that caller). Reps should understand that the actual description of the job they are signing up for is "repeat talking points until the customer hangs up and weather their anger, until that point. if within your approved talking points - help with their problem".
