The first sounds like bad assumption (hard fault limit).

The second sounds like bad process leading to bad input, at which point it becomes garbage in, garbage out. The workaround was untested and insufficient.

While you are of course correct the filter will not fix these, none of these are the fault of the filter, they are all human process issues that are firmly out of scope.
I thought Tauri was just using native web renderers? Seemingly Triplit should work out of the box.
I have women friends who have been physically assaulted by human drivers.
I'd focus on the back part. Why was programming joyful then? Why is it not now?

Maybe it's the environment? The language? The community?

I think certain people's brains work better with different languages. Often there's an overlap with community. I started my career in ruby, and still write it as much as I can, though these days, not usually for "work". I love writing it, and it's creator wrote it to be loved when you're writing it. Even though python shares a lot of similarity with Ruby, I find it frustrating in a lot of the little details and design decisions, and I just don't enjoy writing it like I enjoy writing Ruby.

I don't particularly enjoy writing javascript, but I've always enjoyed writing Swift. I also enjoy go, though find some of it's design decisions on the margins perplexing, pedantic and annoying.

Experiment with different languages. Find something you understand, that your brain doesn't have to fight with.

Also, get a hobby that has absolutely nothing to do with computers. Do something tactile -- baking, carpentry, fixing things. The raw difficulty of manipulating things in the real world is both deeply satisfying, and gives me a deeper appreciation for the ease and elegance of manipulating computers with software.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I think this thinking is fantasy.

>are you claiming that not once has anyone sent Wikileaks negative information on him or his campaign, and that's the only reason we haven't seen any?

There is nothing that wikileaks is even credibly accused of suppressing. Trump leaks are found on the front page of the new york times. Lead story of CNN, NBC, CBS, wapo, wsj and fox. Eg his tax return. There is no need for whistleblowers to send things to wikileaks. If wkileaks didn't publish, you'd see it and also likely claims from the source that it happened.

"There must be massive trump dirt so if we haven't seen it that's wikileaks supressing it." Difficult to believe.

Again if there is /any/ credible accusation that wikileaks suppressed /anything/ at all in support of republican presidents, like we know the ny times did, let's see it. Let them answer for it specifically. These constant smear accusations that are totally evidence free look really bad.

They don't have international competition.

The Korean government explicitly chooses companies for these things. And those companies, Chaebols like Samsung, choose the laws.

If these Korean apps were so good, you would expect them to penetrate foreign markets. But they don't.

Just like how British car companies collapsed when foreign competition entered the market on equal footing, these companies will disintegrate if forced to compete.

There wasn’t much you could do honestly.

CSS was created in 1999 but only the cutting edge version of browsers could support only link colors in 2000.

The editor was nothing but a text box, no WYSIWYG.

It was non-designers and people that were learning HTML putting something together.

There was no @font-face, so you could only reference fonts people might have on their computer.

On dialup you didn’t want to load too many images. So 1 background image that tiled 50 times would load fast.

You had to use nested tables to have any structure and again put that all in a text box with no live preview or WYSIWYG. And using tables you needed to understand to use transparent gifs to prevent it from not looking right.

Many people didn’t have image editors except MS Paint, so the graphics you got had to be grabbed from somewhere else.

PNG didn’t exist, I don’t think MS-Paint supported gif on windows 95 or 98, it might of not even supported jpg. It primarily supported bmp.

But with David Carson style of design (grunge design) or lack of traditional design in the mainstream for most of the 90s it kind of worked ok.

The tools were primitive, and skills were low.

Why give any additional money to Nvidia when you can announce more profits (or get more compute if you're a government agency) by hiring more engineers to enable AMD hardware for less than a few million per year? It's not like Microsoft loves the idea of handing over money to Nvidia if there is a cheaper alternative that can make $MSFT go up.

Yes, there are many ways to do it, one of which I described above.

You can disallow bundling a video client with the video data provider, thus forcing the data provider to monetize by charging the clients to use the data. The clients make money either via subscriptions or ads, and selling new video data back to the provider.

e.g. Google would have to spin-off or re-org YouTube to split client/data and give same pricing terms to their client branch as to other third party clients

This is a lighter touch/market based solution, which I prefer to being overly prescriptive.
If we all had one nipple, we would have had to have evolved from a species with an even number nipples, which likely means one nipple migrating to the center like a founder's eyes. All of those things we have one of we've had one of forever. Going from an even number of things to an odd number would be a strange trick seldom practiced.

The article title is a cheeky stab at the current trend.
Quantum chemistry in this context refers to numerical simulations of how atoms and their electrons behave. The paper says that they used density functional theory as implemented in VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package), a common way to approximate electron-atom and electron-electron interactions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_functional_theory

https://www.vasp.at/info/about/

Another common way to simulate behavior of materials dissolved in water is "classical" molecular dynamics, using only Newtonian physics and a set of lumped empirical parameterizations to model molecules as a collection of "balls and springs." This is much faster than ab initio molecular dynamics but less usable for exotic materials like promethium complexes, where it is unlikely that anyone has ever generated/validated a good set of parameters.

There's an old site with a nice run down of building simple DIY CRT's using a glow discharge electron gun and laboratory flasks: http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com/crt/crt6.htm The glow discharge stuff is very easy to build as you dont need a filament/heater and power supply, it's a cold cathode gun. I wound up coming across another simple and fun project that demonstrates a very simple glow discharge gun in a glass bottle: https://hackaday.com/2011/08/30/diy-electron-accelerator/

I built one of those bottle accelerators but with some mods using a smaller Stuart's soda bottle. Cathode is a 0.5 in diameter Al spacer bushing mounted to one end of a 0.25 inch aluminum tube punched through a rubber stopper and the other to a tube adapter screwed to a KF25 vac flange. I then rigged up a stand to hold a vacuum manifold connected to my Alcatel 2008 vac pump and could pull a nice vacuum down to 0.4 Pa. The bottle gun's anode is a loop of 12 AWG copper wire inserted into a drilled hole and sealed with Faraday wax (safe and easy to make but messy and does not easily clean up.) Finally, wired it to my 200W Bertan +10kV 20mA supply. The +10kV lets me setup the gun as a common cathode putting the electron gun parts at ground potential. Only the anode is at high potential. I then decided to see if I could focus the beam and MacGyverd a lens out of a big 2 inch conduit bushing I had lying around in the electrics bin. Wound a bunch of 20 AWG magnet wire around it and found that building a big enough field to focus and sat it around the bottle neck. That big hunk of steel took a crap ton more power than I thought - I could focus the beam to midway of the bottle at around 300W (30V DC @ 10A)into the focus lens (yes it got very hot)! At full beam power I can melt holes in tin foil sheet using a focused beam.

I first read 'The Joys of the Craft' section of 'The Mythical Man-Month' at about the five year mark of my programming career, a time when I was feeling a bit blue about the whole enterprise. It inspired me and kept me at it for decades more.

One bit from it, not even the most quoted:

"Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be."

You lost me there. Assange got a deal because the prosecution needed a deal to resolve the case. They didn't do it out of the kindness of their heart, nor because there was any pressure from the administration to do Assange a favor.
With CRTs, how did the input device know when to fire in sync with the CRT? I assume the CRT was operating on some factor of mains power for its timing?

There is actually some funny history around that, since after the world war 2 there was laws restricting news papers from publishing national secrets. One case was a map that the military official accidentally leak themselves, but which was classified, so when the news papers published an article discussing the leak (including a image of the map) the news paper were charged with leaking national secrets.

The result from the political fallout was creation of one of the four constitutional laws that exist in Sweden, the Swedish Freedom of the Press Act of 1949.

One result of that is that if a military personal were to leak information to the press, the journalist would by law be forbidden to ever disclose who that person was. The journalist can be sent to jail if they just happen to disclose it, and must take active steps to prevent it.

The publisher themselves must have the intention to inform the public. If that is true, then the constitution allows the publisher to ignore any other Swedish law like national secret classification for the act of publishing (explicit right given in the constitution).

Legal professors were discussing the situation back during the initial periods when the leaks occurred that Julian Assange now has plead guilty for. The conclusion was that he can not get charged for disclosing national defense information. The constitution do not allow that. He could be charged for conspiring to steal documents (ie, hacking), if the original whistle blower did not have access to the documents in the first place and had material help from the journalist or if they paid the whistle blower to steal the documents (proportional to that action). Conspiracy charges are quite messy however, and since military personal are under different legal laws than civilians, the consensus was unclear if such conspiracy charges is possible, and what if any punishment is available for the courts.
I can't find the reference now, but I think I read somewhere it only redirects when the user got there by clicking on an ad. In that case it would make a bit more sense - the script essentially swaps the intended ad target to that sport gambling website. Could work if the original target was a gaming or sport link.
Not necessarily. I drive an EV and don't have a charger at home so I rely on public infrastructure exclusively.

Day to day it or (my the usage patterns) don't change much and after the firstof when and where charging would fit in my schedule (usually while getting groceries each week).

For people who drive a lot of different routes or on vacation an dedicated EV mapping feature is nice but so far A Better Route Planer worked just fine (my car has no usable native solution).
I'm with you. I think you should have to pay extra for containers and utensils. Make it a deposit and suddenly single-use plastic is multi-use.

Or, as you say, let people provide their own container. In any case, if you charge people for the externality you will likely end up with less of it.
> I don’t think it ever even improved page load speeds, because it introduces another dns request, another tls handshake, and several network round trips just to what?

I think the original use case, was when every site on the internet was using jquery, and on a js based site this blocked display (this was also pre fancy things like HTTP/2 and TLS 0-RTT). Before cache partitioning you could reuse jquery js requested from a totally different site currently in cache as long as the js file had same url, which almost all clients already had since jquery was so popular.

So it made sense at one point but that was long ago and the world is different now.
Supposedly, ~130K customers did
Feels a bit like your forgetting Skype for business and lync already existed. I kinda agree with your point but I also feel it’s unfair on Microsoft, they are giving their customers more services for the same price, and the customers are using the services… I’m not sure the customer really loses out if ms are saving them another subscription + integration cost.
Wikileaks has also leaked things the Russian political establishment almost certainly doesn't like, e.g. https://wikileaks.org//spyfiles/russia/.

Apparently Wikileaks were given documents that had already leaked elsewhere before and refused to publish them because their purpose is novel leaks, not repeating leaks from elsewhere. That has been spun into a narrative that they refused leaks because they are biased, without much evidence.

When there are a lot of disingenuous arguments like this being made to discredit someone that turn out to be unreasonable once you dig a little deeper, like we see with Wikileaks and Assange, it generally is a strong suggestion someone is trying to manipulate people into believing a false narrative.

> Putting aside the "healthy vs unhealthy" food contrivance

It's not a strict binary system, but there's definitely foods that are broadly healthier or unhealthier. Unless you think Dorito's and broccoli are equally healthy.

> how do you propose that society decides to keep healthier food options in individual people's houses?

I would focus on the things the government can control. Transportation is a big one: the government already controls roads and streets, and the US has pushed car dominance in transportation options for decades now, and it's been very successful, with most trips done by car.

Switching to a model where walking, biking, and public transit are co-equal with driving overall, would result in more exercise in transportation, among the other benefits of multimodal transportation.

Tons of people actually do like walking, biking, and public transit when those options are actually good -- you see a lot of Americans comment on this when they visit other countries that do better here -- but in most US cities, they kinda suck. There's usually little that's useful within walking distance, biking feels both unpleasant and unsafe, and buses/trains are slow and unreliable, if they even exist at all.

Those are all fixable issues, it's just a matter of where we choose to invest as a society. We've mostly been investing into car-dominant transportation, and so cars usually make the most sense in our built environments. And we're talking about societal-level choices here; people don't get to individually choose if the buses are reliable, or if bike paths are unsafe, or if zoning allows for neighborhood bakeries and grocery stores.
Solving the Schrodinger equation for multiple electrons in a molecule. This becomes very computationally intensive as you add more electrons.

For example, there’s not enough energy in the universe to simulate a human with the full Schrodinger equation with our existing technology for a meaningful amount of time.
So basically, you're saying it's not racist if it's true? Still seems like a double standard to generalize your manager's nationality while calling his generalization of another nationality racist. Especially when you're kind of describing your manager's "racist" pointer to hold true in this context.

When it comes to questioning another’s moral standing, it helps to have a leg to stand on
That's a loaded question, but sure, let's go there. The problem with public transportation is that the public is allowed to use them, and the rules, legal and social, are not well defined or enforced. Assaulting other passengers is generally tolerated by the system, depending on the type of assault. Physical assault is considered too far and doesn't go unnoticed, but chemical and audio assault on fellow passengers usually goes unreported. The types of people are those who would assault others on some fashion.

Whether this translates to Waymos smelling like meth or fentanyl when you get in them thanks to the previous rider remains to be seen. Or just needles, foil, or used condoms left behind. They record video, so Google could close the person's account so they won't be able to book Waymos with that account again, so we'll end up having to see how hard it is to create new accounts to use Waymo on to ban nuisance riders.
Such a delightful thing
Good questions. From a quick Google search, direct air capture of carbon will supply 50kg a month from a residential site.

https://climeworks.com/subscriptions

Those supply you with up to 50kg of carbon a month from DAC (direct air capture). If I were to drive a sedan 120 miles (entire day commute) then I would probably burn 250kg of propane and only 80% of the weight of propane is carbon.Therefore, you are exactly correct that it is not feasible. However it may become feasible if I get creative: hybrid work and different fuel sources.

So for me to be perfectly carbon neutral I would need an average total daily commute of 30 miles to be able to have 100% of my fuel usage from solar powered propane.

I think this is some tech in infancy. I think I would be willing to install a o2 tank and a c3h8 tank on my car to have better efficiency if I had to produce all my own fuel.

Fun line of thinking.
Very implausible.

Interesting, we have a system (different context, though it does use yaml) that allows nested configurations, and arrived at a similar solution, where nested configs (implicit/human interface) are compiled to fully qualified specifications (explicit/machine interface). It works quite well for managing e.g. batch configurations with plenty of customization.

I was unaware there was a name for this pattern, thank you.
I only observe this market from the sidelines... but

They're able to get the high end customers, and this strategy works because they can sell the high end customers high end parts in volume without having to have a good software stack; at the high end, the customers are willing to put in the effort to make their code work on hardware that is better in dollars/watts/availability or whatever it is that's giving AMD inroads into the supercomputing market. They can't sell low end customers on GPU compute without having a stack that works, and somebody who has a small GPU compute workload may not be willing or able to adapt their software to make it work on an AMD card even if the AMD card would be a better choice if they could make it work.
