I used to administrate a small fleet of sun sparc hosts with SSL accelerators. They were so much money $$$$.

I proposed dumping them all for a smaller set of x86 hosts running linux, it took 2-3 years before the old admins believed in the performance and cost savings. They refused to believe it would even work.

There's constructive investigative politics:

“We’re here because we want Boeing to succeed,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the subcommittee’s chair, said at the start of the hearing on Tuesday, pointing to the jobs Boeing provides and the products it supplies to the U.S. military. “It’s not enough for Boeing to shrug its shoulders and say, ‘Mistakes happen.’”

and there's grandstanding performative politics:

Sen. Josh Hawley, accused Calhoun and Boeing of “strip mining” the company by cutting corners and criticized his compensation package of nearly $33 million, up 45% last year from 2022.

“And frankly, sir, I think it’s a travesty that you are still in your job,” Hawley said.

Boeing's taken a turn away from quality and that's not something to let slide when human lives are at stake.

I wouldn't put it in the same way as the previous poster, but if your argument is "government can't run anything right! They always make a complete mess of things!", then you're not going to actually run these services all that well. You have a strong interest to NOT run these services well, because "see, told you I was right!"

I don't think there's some sort of intentional 4D chess plan going on, or corruption to make a profit, but certainly a lot of conflicted interests and bias to not make it work. That's one cause of "poor management, bad processes, etc."
To understand why the US government spends so much on rich countries, you can’t just think in economic terms, since that’s not what why the US government is doing it.

The reason is geopolitical. It is seen as necessary to give money to allies to prop up their military so the US hegemony can be maintained. Adversaries (China, Russia, Iran) need to be made afraid not only of US might, but also of Allies’ might. So the US doesn’t wait around for those countries to spend on their military on their own, or god forbid to realign their alliances based on their spending. Checks it is.
The attachment editor in FreeCAD is just terrible. Whenever you try to attach a sketch, the first thing you have to do is rotate it into the proper orientation.

There is also no visual preview of any of the operations and 99% of the action is manually entering numbers into the left pane instead of using visual tools to drag an extrusion, for example.

Fair enough :) It was very much an exaggeration. But, I do wonder how far would “dumb” text editing go in this scenario. And, more importantly, whether it wouldn’t be faster overall than writing a tool that still requires humans to go through its output and clean/fix it up.

Here is a video of a guy that tried to automate a grinding machine by installing an electric motor. Initially the movement was very unsatisfactory, it was not smooth, or very jerky. He then received an upgraded motor that included a “jerk control” feature and the movement of his machine became smooth.

It came as a surprise to me but it seems like jerk is something that can be felt in real life.

Cumbersome compared to just having ℕ ⊂ ℤ, instead of having a coercion c from ℕ to ℤ, with complicated algorithms of where to insert c automatically, and then hiding the result from you, because otherwise you would see with your own eyes what a mess you are in.

I assume all public panels with elected government officials are just soundbite opportunities for the elected to help advertise themselves in the next election.

It’s a quid pro quo where the accused gets to be paraded out as if they are being punished, without any real punishment, and in exchange the leaders get some visibility, without doing any punishing.

Hence, it is all performative (some better than others, or maybe they are just performing differently due to a demand for a different kind of performance from their constituents).

However, I would still think Blumenthal is an objectively better and professional leader than Cawley.

I love this about farmers. They are the polymaths of our age and folks dont get it. Farming YouTube is a trip because there's more tech in a tractor than in some startups.

> and if you're doing properly, crooked accountant as well.

Yea, most people dont get what a "future" is, and why corn and lumber have them (but not onions... thats a lesson too)... The farm has the support of a lot of high finance and hedging exists not just as an instrument but has a purpose.

Ask a farmer about a grain/pork "Marketing Plan" and who they are hiring as advisors and where that person got their degree...

It's a complicated world and there are some interesting intersections out there.
I don't think this discussion is happening against people's wishes.

There's the other form of censoring too - destroying the credibility of another with misinformation. It's a more difficult exploit than direct censorship, but one that can only work with uncontrolled speech.

That's why defamation has to be illegal. It's like corruption and crime - better to let criminal empires thrive than jail some innocents. But when someone is willfully and knowingly lying, that should be stopped.
I guess it's a good paper. But often times complaints that an AI system "isn't really open-source" coming from folks who are really against open-source AI to begin with strike me as a bad faith debate tactic. Just call them open weights. But I do think that Llama etc being open weights has been a huge benefit and do not wish any more barriers to be enacted to make them stop releasing open weight models.
"Windows source code leaks specifically have made a great job to stall ReactOS development."

What you are in effect saying is that Microsoft has essentially killed the ReactOS project off. Are you reasonably sure about this? The reason I ask is that I was under the impression that to overcome any MS code issues that ReactOS was porting Wine code (this ought to be clean).

A supplementary question, as ReactOS is using Wine code what parts still have to be coded that might be in conflict with MS's proprietary code? This question relates to my earlier point about how little info developers are providing potential users. The lack of info doesn't doesn't sound good nor does it offer users much hope.

I've been waiting about 20 of ReactOS's 26 years, unfortunately it seems to me I'll be dead before it's ready.
It basically is already.
It can tell you specified topology, like cores, threads, NUMA nodes. But it can’t tell you the physical locations of cores. Processors are binned based on what cores are functional after fabrication, thus your 12 core processor is probably a 16-18 core processor, and the 4 disabled cores are “random” based on manufacturing defects. Knowing this is completely unimportant, but cool. Ultimately yes, cpuid will tell you and relevant topology, since anything beyond this requires likely trillions of iterations to even detect.
Thank you for this. This is neat data.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm pretty sure our bridges should be something considered important enough to keep maintained. :(

> 36 percent of all U.S. bridges (over 222,000 spans) require major repair work or replacement. Placed end‐to‐end, these structures span over 6,100 miles – and would take over 110 hours to cross at an average speed of 55‐miles‐per‐hour.

That's a lot of bridge.

Because it's little more than xenophobia, which has always been extremist.

You don't want people with radically different value systems being allowed to migrate without making efforts to integrate themselves? Sure, say so. That's a reasonable position that can be debated. Maybe you'd be OK with asylum seekers fleeing for their lives, maybe not, to be discussed.

You don't want anyone different to come to the country? That's xenophobia, and considering the demographic challenges facing the EU, stupid. And of course the funny thing is that most of the people espousing those extremist views and voting for the "migrants bad" parties are living in the countryside where there are practically no migratns and everyone knows everyone else. Cities, where those migrants (be they Afghanis or Ukrainians who ran for their lives, Sudanese looking for a better life) are actually concentrated, are markedly pro-much more open to migrants parties.

Most "full featured" OSes do not use HALs - they are most commonly found in embedded development where you have to wrap a platform that otherwise has no mechanisms to inform the OS what is where.

Which is also related to how original NT used them. ARC (and its PC BIOS-based emulator, NTLDR) provided early boot ability, HAL provided "driver" to access platform, and the NTOSKRNL itself didn't have to worry so long as it was running on same base ISA and had all the necessary drivers loaded.

So for example on x86, there were HAL.DLLs for PC BIOS, "standard" PC BIOS multiprocessor, ACPI (uniprocessor and multiprocessor variants), Sequent, SGI Visual Workstation, etc.

> You don’t need unit tests if you have integration tests.

Which is why, as per Jim Coplien, most unit testing is waste.

But converting one type of unit tests into another is a perfect showcase for AI-generated code. They could have even kept just the prompts in the source and regenerate the tests on every run, were it not for inaccuracy, temperature, and the high cost of running.
You don't know who was in charge of the website. The gear you are complaining about is part of the FreeCAD logo and only has artistic value. You're complaining about someone's website and lack of CAD skills, not their ability to develop CAD software.

If these people like "coding", then you would expect them to work on things like previews or visual manipulators. Lots of things to "code".

Oh, this is just a thought experiment, the engineering isn't within our grasp.

I'd imagine some sort of floating device which can build copies out of itself with the plastics it finds is not far away, but it probably does involve a fair bit of science before it becomes more than just fiction..
As I said, why then aren't other/new developers rushing in to fill the void? Again, this is still a mystery.

There actually is a way to test your test suite: mutation tests [1]. Basically, you change the covered codebase (invert an if statement, change a variable, etc.) and expect the tests to then fail. If the tests actually survive the mutations, they might not be good enough.

> ChatGPT def has an api

You can try to replicate ChatGPT with the Chat Completions API, but I don't think you can get access to the actual API that ChatGPT itself is using (without reverse-engineer the API the OpenAI clients use). I'm guessing this is what they're referring to here? Seems like splitting hairs a bit though...
To me the most interesting thing about this is that his github history shows he really gave up in 2021, with almost no commits since then.

I don't know enough of the context of these repos, their significance or ongoing use, but it feels weird to return just to archive en masse. I think it might actually be the least worst option - leaving it open as if you might return gives a false sense of the project, and passing to a successor is a lot of work.

We really put a lot on the heads of solitary people with the open source model.

Your hate for PWAs seems a bit excessive. Nowadays it's possible to build binaries for iOS and Android using PWAs and it'll behave just live your Cordova projects. Don't be stuck in the past.
The nationalization I’m referring to is a temporary vehicle for re-organizing into worker ownership and control. I don’t mean for these to be controlled by the government directly in the long term (though I would be open to such an arrangement, but I understand it makes many Americans squeamish).

As for the experience with nationalization in other countries, I am hesitant to try to draw lessons from nationalization in socialist countries. Given how much capitalist states meddle whenever a socialist state takes root, I think it’s really hard to disentangle possible perverse outcomes of nationalization (which should be discovered and mitigated against!) from the skullduggery taking place as part of attempts to thwart socialism.
Syncfusion Flutter widgets are written natively in Dart to help you create rich, high-quality applications for iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single code base.

This blog explains the new features added to the Flutter suite for the 2024 Volume 2 release!

New technical indicators in Flutter Charts
The Flutter Charts widget delivers the following new technical indicators:

Rate of Change (ROC) indicator
The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator is a momentum oscillator used in technical analysis that assesses the speed at which a price changes over a specified period. By comparing the current price to a price from a previous time, the ROC reflects the percentage change in price, indicating whether the price movement is accelerating or decelerating. Traders often use the ROC to identify overbought or oversold conditions, potential trend reversals, or to confirm trends.

The ROC fluctuates around a zero line; values above zero suggest upward momentum (bullish), while values below zero indicate downward momentum (bearish). It is commonly used as a signal for entry or exit points in trading strategies.
Acceleration equals force, so yeah, if you abruptly change acceleration then this equals abruptly changing the force on people in the bus. Acceleration should thus be continuous (not necessarily differentiable). I don't know how you would justify constraints on higher derivatives. Perhaps they mess with our own internal control mechanism?
OK, thanks, I've learned something new, GNU Hurd has the edge over ReactOS by eight years. :-)
I see a fair amount of Kafka, while most other platforms have diminished. I think that is because people treat Kafka like a database/system of record. A queue is not a system of record.

A lot of the difficulty in modeling a complex system has to do with deciding what is durable state vs what is transient state.

Almost all state should be durable and/but durability is more expensive upfront. So people make tradeoffs to model a transition as transient and put in a queue. One or two or three years in, that is almost always a regretted decision.

Message queues that are not databases/systems of record wind up glossing this durable/transient state problem, and then when you have also this unique piece of infrastructure to support, this is a now you have two problems moment.

Slack's blog post links to "Enzyme is dead. Now what?"[1], in which Wojciech Maj said, "A couple of tireless evenings later, @wojtekmaj/enzyme-adapter-react-17 was born." Now, he was building on someone else's pull request, and he also said that adapting to React 18 would have required a huge rework. Still, I'm thinking that @slack/enzyme-adapter-react-18 just might have taken less than 10,000 hours.

Then again, the idea of a testing framework that is so tightly coupled that it breaks every version is foreign to me, so I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

And if you sign up for those ULO rates you also get 28.6¢ on-peak rates. The average over the entire day stays at 11.1¢ (see Table ES-2).

I guess they want to flatten the demand curve and reduce its cyclic nature: there's a cost to dealing with the traditional peaks times as well in various types of capacity.
