We started similar to Homebrew with putting packages inside our "core" Glasskube package repository (https://github.com/glasskube/packages) where all updates are centrally stored and tested by our CI / CD workflows so users can enjoy tested and seamless upgrades. Users can of course host their private repositories (and packages) but we want to provide an opinionated set of packages ourselves.

Building them for different Kubernetes version or environments is something we also already thought about and need to happen at some time to bake more configuration into to the build step.

This is an important point that I think gets overlooked quite a bit in these discussions. Web tech is essentially append only — you can add things but it's incredibly difficult for a browser vendor to make a breaking change because no vendor wants to be perceived as the one that "breaks the Web". Even technologies that were never technically standardized like Web SQL end up sticking around for far too long. I'm not sure if many programming language communities would like to be constrained by this and the slow TC39 language proposal process.
The difference is that no one was using those. Since companies already pay for office and Teams is bundled, managements are forcing workforce to use it.
Thanks. I did see that it was covered later as I continued reading the article and looking back I see that it's in the TOC as well so maybe I just didn't pay enough attention. I think just hyperlinking to that section would do the trick (and maybe on the first occurrence a small comment like (covered below) but that might not be necessary.

Thanks for the response and more importantly the article! It covered exactly all the points that were opaque to me about frontend build processes. I've also forwarded it to a couple of other backend devs that I know.
A group with a GID of 0 i just the root group, regardless of what it is called. wheel isn't meant to be another name for root, and putting users in a root group is not a better solution, better than what the wheel group already solves.

Leave the GID for the wheel group at 10.

For the code-minded out there, a "random variable" is something of a lazily evaluated value that can be "sampled" and emit a quantity (or a vector/tensor thereof) each time. And the OP article boils down to the fact that it's generally incorrect to assume that any random variable can be represented solely by its unconditional probability distribution; a distribution is more of a visualization than a sufficient definition. Rather, one must track the entire graph of other random variables that may feed the current one (e.g. that the current one is conditional on), akin to how an Excel spreadsheet models all the dependencies of a cell.

The fun part comes when you can ask this computation graph: "what parameters for a random variable early on in the chain would be the ones that optimize some function of variables later in the chain?" And, handwaving a ton of nuance here, when those parameters are weights in a neural network, the function is a loss function on the training data, and the optimization is done by automatic differentiation (e.g. https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/introyt/autogradyt_tu...), you have modern AI.

If you're interested in the theoretical underpinnings here, Bishop's PRML is perhaps the classic starting point: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2006/0...
As a Southerner who would definitely say "I might could…", I would never say “I didn’t necessarily could speak it well”. That’s not how double modals work. (“I used to could…” seems marginally ok to me though.)

GeniusScan is great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thegrizzly...

Microsoft has a similar app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft....

As the post said, Google Drive also has this built in, but it's not very good IMO. Adobe and others also have their own.

I like Genius the most, personally, but there's really a bunch of them on the app store.
glitchc stated:

> The random variable X is a function mapping the outcome to its probability.

you've stated: "The standard definition is the one given in the two bullet points at the top of the article we are discussing" ie:

> The random variable X itself, that is, the function which maps sample space outcomes to numbers.

you've also stated: "Or, in more detail, at (wikipedia link)" which has:

> A random variable is a measurable function from a sample space as a set of possible outcomes to a measurable space

These all appear to be in rough alignment .. all three agree upon a function mapping from outcomes to measure.

You've described the first as "This is simply wrong. Random variables are not defined this way." Perhaps you can expand on why this is so wrong compared to the other two definitions.

Typescript also differentiates between checking and compiling as two different steps.

So you could return something from a void function and use it and that will compile to JS and work but only the compile time type check would fail.

Rule of thumb in Germany is that everything code related must be in English for the simple reason that should you hire people that are not speaking German, they will have a much harder type getting into the codebase.

And that's for projects started in German companies for German users written by German.

The idea of contributing to an open source project that hasn't a single German sentence anywhere to be found and then adding German commit messages seems insane to me. I'd never even thought about this.

So yeah. Just tell him / her to rewrite the commit messages in English.

Wait, people use the .env file for secrets?! I never even looked into this but just assumed this was a convenience for local dev to hold a local non-secret app config?

I am blind. General statistics and adoption rate in my peer group (sighted coworkers) are not representative for me at all. None of these datapoint give a good indication how much I am (as a visually non-participating pedestrian) in danger.

Given my life experience, it is safe to assume nobody really thought about blind people. I am regularily tripping over (and hurting myself with) badly placed bicycles. I am assuming a high percentage of these bicycle owners are well-meaning, green-voting people. However, their political and/or personal attitude doesn't help people like me at all, we still get hurt on a regular basis, and nobody talks about it. I would be surprised if this changed with AVs.

Agreed with @roenxi and I’d like to propose a variant of your comment:

All evidence is that “more is better”. Everyone involved professionally is of the mind that scaling up is the key.

However, like you said, just a single invention could cause the AI winds to blow the other way and instantly crash NVIDIA’s stock price.

Something I’ve been thinking about is that the current systems rely on global communications which requires expensive networking and high bandwidth memory. What if someone invents an algorithm that can be trained on a “Beowulf cluster” of nodes with low communication requirements?

For example the human brain uses local connectivity between neurons. There is no global update during “training”. If someone could emulate that in code, NVIDIA would be in trouble.

That’s how monopolies get formed, make it unsustainable for competition to exist, and then jack up prices when they all die.

That lower cost people pay upfront thanks to monopolies, is then drained back with interest, using higher prices, reduction in social mobility (of new founders/startups), reduction in innovation & increase in rent-seeking behaviour.

Breaking up monopolies has been long overdue, it’s a good thing its starting now.

Lies by omission are worth railing against even if the first guess at those omissions are wildly wrong, the important thing is you've started the refinement process instead of letting the implied falsehood fester and mix with other choices you might make. The hazard of LLMs is only for people who expect to be babied. The people who want no one else but the elite knowledge experts using LLMs are just chuffed at their own trivia recall abilities and perhaps a little afraid of being easily shown up after dedicating so much effort to the legacy way.
I find it a bit reductive to say equal temperament has 'the good [tones]'. I think 'the least bad tones' would probably be more accurate, in the sense that no matter what you are playing (i.e. which note(s)/scale(s) the piece is centered on), it'll sound fairly OK, even though some intervals are not what they should be.

It sounds pleasant to the ear because that's what most people hear all day. Other cultures have developed a slightly different relationship with harmony, leading to them considering other tones 'good'.

For a cheeky example of what I mean with 'the least bad tones', feel free to check this short demo by Jacob Collier[1], about just how out of tune equal temperament is.

now, i do my learnings/research from something like phind or perplexity. I have a shortcut "!pl" or "!p" setup on my address bar. I just have to type in "!pl food recommendation for keto diet" for example in my address search bar and it would summarize everything for me. After that, all i had to do is to read/click a few more links in deep into reddit or wtv to verify what the LLM tells me is according to it's citations, then i can gauge if the answers are credible or not. i just ask some follow-ups if i have any. The result has been quite satisfactory so far

And did so 24 years later!

In defense of JS they supposedly designed and implemented the language in 10 days.

I find "implicit nulls" less defensible for Golang (38 years after C) and Java (23 years after C), as they had plenty of time to learn from other's mistakes.
