To be fair, without evidence such name-calling would not be helpful. Not talking about a specific local chapter of a single charity and instead focusing on the problem in general seems to be more helpful in this context.
I don’t know. It can get pretty dark really quickly and I’m not sure I’d give my kid that kinda game.

If he finds out drug trade, organ harvesting and slave trading are the easiest/most efficient methods of making money, and he will, you might expose him to something a sub-12 year old may not be ready to process yet.

That being said, I love Rimworld and have 1200 hours put into it. It really is the ‘forever game’.
A marketing team that thought existing buyers would never see the Mulveney ads is grossly incompetent, lacking any understanding of viral social media.

Hi everyone! I was experimenting with AI and built this small project. I thought it would be fun to deploy it so my friends can also analyze their profiles. I hope you like the idea and I appreciate any feedback!
Most of the system files from when I ran Unix v7 have a mod time of October 15, 1980. I have some files from v6 but the timestamps were not preserved. They would be from 1979.

An iPad as is has never really appealed, but if I could run macOS in a VM - or something to that effect - I would be very tempted.

Sadly it doesn’t seem that Apple are really interested in offering that.

I have used various Surface devices as well - and whilst they are fine with the keyboard attached, I’ve never loved the touch experience on Windows.
The thing is, you have to do it only once, and then the clones and knockoffs come.

The guidelines suggest that on-topic submissions include “anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity” — a discussion of why various things on Wayland interacted poorly with screen readers would be in this category.

The guidelines suggest that “Most stories about politics” are off-topic. This submission spent a whole lot more time ranting about the ableist world and, for some reason, about the difference between “white” and “white-presenting” than discussing anything intellectually interesting about A11y. One might reasonably consider that rant to be “politics”.
It's a reasonable request. Readers who see the charity to be named named may also donate to them, and seeing such a claim would make readers think twice and perhaps make their donations elsewhere.
> Most Americans do not want these big cars

Based on what? Anecdotal I know, but my biggest frustration is I can't convince friends and family they should buy a small car instead of an SUV because they always say "I might need to move a couch/dresser/friends/etc one day". I'm convinced they would come out way ahead buying a small car and renting a truck the once or twice a year they need it but again, I've yet to convince anyone that's the case
If by "almost any" you mean "unimodal".

Mutation testing with Java pitest measures three things: line coverage, mutation coverage, and test strength.

Jacoco measures both line and branch coverage, same as Jest.

Preferred thing to do is establish a baseline, and then

* Write tests for new features going forward.

* Write tests for fixes to production incidents.

Don't let things get worse than baseline. (The number will vary from repo to repo.)

+1 Management vs advertising vs program spending can drastically vary from charity to charity. And there are some bad practices even by very well-known names (see: ad spend).
True. Feels hard for me to come up with a way to make people like these care.
"- picolisp vs fennel ?"

Not really comparable. Picolisp is really small, really simple, and that makes it kind of weird. It has fexprs rather than sexprs, there are no seatbelts (as in you will segfault when reaching out of bounds), the numbers are fixnums, the database is object oriented and you query it with logic programming, and so on.

As far as I know, no one has used it for 2D game scripting. If you want to be the first you probably can be, but it will be quite an adventure compared to Fennel.
A Z Machine in a TTF font, anyone?

Yup. There's definitely some neighborhoods like Great Falls where it seems like everyone is either a corporate exec, a federal politician, or a pro athlete.
Having run ollama on CPU: Yes, it's just slower. Not even intolerably slow IMO, though I used small models and don't mind some turnaround time.
>The reality is that most of a state’s budget is set holistically and paid for out of the general fund.

Isn't this just conflating states that do that with other states that don't?

Oregon keeps the general fund and the lottery fund separate, 53% of the lottery fund goes to education (the rest to other voter-approved programs).
Can you condense the argument for us? Why can't the supply chain be decarbonised?
I disagree. Avoiding PKI and post-quantum security correlate very much. Even under plausibly post-quantum assumptions we only have a couple of assumptions from which we can build public key encryption. In contrast, here they avoid all use of public key cryptography which makes it provably post-quantum secure. It’s not using a buzzword for the sole sake of selling the paper. In general, using “minimal cryptography” (like random oracles / one-way functions) translates to real-world efficiency because you can instantiate these from a plethora of different concrete candidates.
another classic case of differential accounting - if the climate adaptation cost attached to farming was charged in the price of meat, maybe the no would be on the other foot.
I'd say whether it failed is debatable. My understanding is the best counter bid was building a new system from the ground up... I feel that outcome would have been much worse.
There are options like the new Claude 3.5, GPT-4o, Llama, Perplexity, and canvas functionalities.
I can assure you that if you develop a system to accurately place objects (bombs, say) on top of people and post the code on the open internet for everyone to see, the government will indeed have some critical question for you.
I'm surprised the homepage doesn't show an example API call, I assumed the target audience are developers.

The API returns a JSON representation of, for example, https://world.brand.dev/brand/amazon.com given 'amazon.com'. URLs to images, height, width.

Prices are listed after creating an account:
$49/month - Up to 1000 API calls per month
$99/month - Up to 3000 API calls per month

When I tried the cUrl call (copy&paste from the dashboard) I got an error "{"message":"Unauthorized: Invalid token"}"
> Just plot all the bloody data and be done with it

Well no, because you can compare the datasets by eye and say questionable qualitative things about them, but you can't make definitively true quantitative statements about them.

Show me two plots of data points and I can show you two people who will in good faith argue over which one has the higher mean or higher median or higher variance. Because you often can't tell.

The entire point of something like a box plot is that it does part of the quantitative analysis for you. You can see where the median is. You can see the width of the quartiles.
I had a longer post and deleted it. We disagree. Lets leave it at that.
Speaking of heritage... 8+3 goes back at least to DECSystem-10 on PDP-10s.
Sorry, but could you please clarify where I have mentioned ‘stopping no-shows’ on my site? It currently says ‘Notice a 60% reduction in no-shows’.
I don't share the same feelings about GPL idea and see it as extremely valuable, especially now that rug pull and Amazonification is pervasive.

I do share the feeling towards the free terminology. Over the years he has been fond of libre more and more.

That said I think the reason behind the confusion over the term free is less sincere and somewhat of a Freudian slip in retrospect. I think his original view was indeed against commercialization and he pivoted to the current iteration of Free Software advocacy. By the way, Linus is on the record making the same mistake and initially licensing Linux under a non-commercial license.
It would be great to have more ARM devices which support linux, but until there is a common ARM boot process that everyone follows and the situation with device trees and propriety driver binaries gets solved, x86 is going to have to be the way to go for most Linux first devices. With x86 you can basically load any distro you want with ease no matter what the CPU.
To be excruciatingly correct, we should specify python2 or python3, because they can't interop and probably never will.
Delegate more.

People mostly like to take responsibility. For decisions, let someone else offer up the potential solutions. Make someone else your memory. Its a very important part of management because it develops you and them. For technical people it is hard because we see the detail as the part we like most. Let someone else enjoy it.

PS. You can't delegate responsibility! That's abdication.
You're supposed to act impressed that they recommended an Apple product.

And yes, but there's no lower limit on the memory; it's entirely dependent on the model or kernel size.
Many years ago my sister had a job going door to door asking for donations for environmental causes. I was shocked to discover that the people doing the canvassing immediately pocketed half of the donations as they walked away from the door. And that was only the percentage taken by the people on the front line!
So much better. And you don't have the ridiculous "localization" of csv: over here, the field separator defaults to a semicolon. I suppose someone thought it was so terribly important to have a decimal comma in a csv file that any form of common sense went out of the window.
I wonder how Anne Aaron came to be the leader for this aspect of the business. Netflix is really only doing re-encoding, which is essentially what all first-tier media pirate groups specialize in. It's interesting the pirate groups deliver much higher quality releases in very bandwidth efficient
formats (x265 is incredible), yet Netflix still consistently looks blocky on my 4k LG with 1Gbit Internet. Also, every dark scene looks doubly atrocious.

You'd think netflix could do better than the ad-hoc groups of individuals who do it for free in their spare time.
> but nothing that carries information is.

Well, that would break causality. I believe if we ever learn how to go FTL (improbable!), it'll still force non-causality breaking. Meaning the place where you FTL'd is not your universe anymore.
Global warming has been noticeable and accelerating for 50+ years. Being at the turning point where CO2 emissions are likely lower within 5-10 years despite population and economic growth represents a great deal of progress.

> I would actually guess that 26 years is more of a maximum rather than an average.

It’s actually a low estimate. Average car on the road in the US is 12.6 years *2 = 25.2 but that’s biased because there’s a slow increase in the number of cars on the road which underestimates lifespan. Also there is there is a net outflow of cars from American that get sent to other countries.
It's similar with YouTube's premium content, i.e. DRM-protected films or series available for rent or purchase on YouTube. It plays at a maximum of 480P on most desktop browsers, including Google's own Chrome for Windows. (Disclaimer: I haven't checked this recently, I'm assuming the situation hasn't improved.)

I think the years without a screen reader is proof of an ableist culture, but I think this article is more about some dumb mastadon spat than about ableism.
Last week there was an 'Ask HN' by somebody who wants to AI-automate the phone interviews, too. So it might be AI assisted on every step of the process.

Some certification already requires you do switch on your webcam, even walk with a camera around the room to check that nobody else is in the room. That might become more common.
> To put it simply, picom needs to fetch the window tree from X. But there is no way to get the whole tree in one go

There are a lot of WMs who offer a window list (twm, fvwm). Maybe the guy shall take a look how they do it.

And requests to the X server are not syncroneus.
I'm only somewhat into cryptography, but is PKI considered as sketchy in some way?

The point is not to plot an ideal Gaussian, the point is to plot the data.

In real life the whiskers are the actual minimum and maximum values observed.
For both Ruby and Python most of time I use Emacs without an LSP, and it works better with Ruby than Python.

I never search _exactly_ why Ruby became so less popular than Python, but I think that at least two things:

- Having its popularity too much dependent of Rails;
- Not having any other killer app (e.g. Python is not only Django, but NumPy, TensorFlow, Pandas, Flask and so on);

So, even if I love Ruby, Python is still my main language for most of things as it has a huge ecosystem and it is easy to use. But for writing shell scripts the advantages that I mentioned in the article generally I don't care too much about those things.
I can easily believe it's a fractal of hard, but I cannot believe it's a fractal of no, and absolutely not as a question of thermodynamics.

It's clearly possible to make muscle cells (and other components of meat) reproduce rapidly: cattle exist.

It's clearly hard, or we'd have already have all this plus vat-grown organs and (affordable) vat-grown leather.

And some (non-meat) cells are already convenient to grow in vats (you just don't want to get all your protein from nutritional yeast and/or spirulina).

I'm not sure what you're referring to, since the audit described in the source article doesn't seem to mention any such costs.

Perhaps you're coming from a perspective where policing is presumptively bad, and we ought to avoid having police around unless we're confident there's a specific benefit in doing so? I know that many people think that way, and I'm not sure how to engage with it other than to say I don't agree. I don't think the police are perfect by any means, but I live in an area covered by ShotSpotter, and I feel safer knowing they're detecting and investigating anything that sounds like a gunshot in my neighborhood.

In my corner of the world (electric/water/gas utilities), we had been using proprietary techniques that matched the "NB-IoT" description for 20 years, and they weren't new then. It was fun to watch the public dialogue walk the same path for a while and rediscover some of the main tricks, but there were other important tricks left untouched (broadcast firmware downloads, highly compressed debug logs, low power clock synchronization so that you can do timeslots for ultra low power, mesh heuristics) probably because they were a massive pain in the rear and the people who would have risen to the occasion saw that the major ecological niches were already occupied by players who got in 30 years ago when this all became viable. (Disclaimer: I didn't actively chase down NB-IoT talks so I might just have been missing these things.)

If your market is large enough that managing your own infrastructure is attractive (vs cellular), you were also able to afford a few EEs and RF guys 30 years ago, and your needs are already met by a competitive ecosystem of players who have been walking this path for a long time. It doesn't leave much to compete on except price, and you don't want to compete on price.
A simple change would be to raise taxes on petrol, but usually no politician wants to touch that one with a 10 ft pole.
You’re hung up on language in my opinion and it was the inspiration for my original comment. There is a gradient between playing and just doing something enjoyable. It’s not a binary thing.

I do woodwork because I find it enjoyable but it’s also play time when I’m in my shop.

Language has limits. I bet you there are cultures which don’t distinguish between play and enjoyable activities and then we wouldn’t be sending each other links to merriam Webster.

Btw I don't disagree people learn from play, I just don't think it's the end goal of play.
PostScript files are dynamic code. You can create polygons dynamically with commands. And, of course, font FX's, styles, elipses...

Also, there's a ZMachine interpreter (text adventure player) written in PostScript which can play Zork and some libre games such as Calypso with just GhostScript, the PostScript interpreter most software use to render PostScript files.
Yeah, as I mentioned, every time someone says something bad about Ruby for me, it is about Rails...
it's called a model. all models are wrong but some are useful. the plugboard model of the brain was useful in the sense it suggested pieces working together and functional connections varying for different activities.

nobody is suggesting the brain runs an instruction set or a compiler - but it does compute in a general sense.
March 20, 1996. Before that I worked on so many different computers that I didn't manage to keep a continuous archive. Early on, my files would have been on punched cards, then 9-track tape, then 8" floppies, etc. I do have some usenet postings from 1981 that are still viewable. The oldest is here: https://groups.google.com/g/fa.unix-wizards/c/o2fAr_mGPa8/m/... At least I no longer feel I'm "naive in terms of UNIX" as I stated in my posting :)

But representing skew is precisely to show how "off" from a Guassian it is.

Because real data is never perfectly Guassian, or perfectly anything.

But the idea of a box plot is that it's for data which is in theory Gaussian or a similar unimodal kind of bell-shaped curve.

Then you can look at the box plot and see if it actually is -- are the two boxes roughly equal-sized? Are the lines a bit longer than the boxes but not insanely so?

The argument is, that in case of sudo, the caller (potential attacker) controls the environment. In many cases, software or libraries are not made with a hostile environment in mind. Think of LD_PRELOAD or PATH ...

When there's a daemon running in the background, the attack surface is more commonly understood. The environment is not under attacker control.

Libraries rarely treat data from socket as "trusted" but often blindly trust environment variables, or stdin/stdout/stderr.
Very interesting.

The thing is that they still allowed X11, which has a working screen reader. Just they'll stop shipping X11 with F41, so this time it should really be a blocker.

This article is very click-baity.

Boxplots are a single tool for data analysis. They do not apply in every situation, nor do any other tools. The same goes for pie charts, which are constantly being accused of always distorting data. Pie charts, like box plots, have their place.
If you switch from sine to square or sawtooth the change in volume is jarring.

Waveforms having the same amplitude doesn't mean the ear hears it at the same volume. There's more frequencies contained in different waveforms and the ear is more sensitive to certain ranges.

A smoother representation of the waveforms might contain the first 5 - 10 frequencies of Fourier series but even then you need to compensate with a change in amplitude.

It's not a DAW, it's a web app, and the users will appreciate the favor.

It really blows my mind that this is the case. If Intel or AMD doesn't want their architecture to be discarded they need to fix this. They should be on full alert working on this problem, yet it seems like nobody even cares. Maybe they deserve the defeat that is coming, though I'd much prefer they learn.
