the assertion from grandparent comment was that nobody needed it. parent asserts that yes, they do.

it’s nice that you don’t need it, but lots of people do. It’s a pretty basic durability/longevity thing.

don’t worry you can always move the goalposts back to “but you can waterproof a phone with a removable battery”, that’s a much more defensible bailey. “Literally nobody uses waterproofing” just was never a strong argument.
The same thing could be said for people using Microsoft Word on their desktop.

You can change those autocorrections in both options.
What fresh hell is that. Why does it need to reach out to the internet?
They’d need to sell a phone plan in addition to the data plan. I guess there’s not enough demand to create those plans.
Whatever the mind is, it’s a damn cool subset of the universe.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but the whole point of a corporation existing is to have a legal entity that takes responsibility for the work of one or more individuals. The corporation provides the basis for limited liability, to the extent of the law.

In theory, this protection isn’t supposed to cover criminal liability. But we often see it do just that or something adjacent to it. Corporations get punished all the time, but their board of directors, officers, employees, and shareholders rarely do. Even in cases where people knowingly and deliberately make dangerous decisions.

I don’t think this is going to change without fundamentally reconsidering the role of corporations in our society. Which… is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

>I still use Windows Forms in .NET 4.8 and my executables are < 1mb

Do you need to ship any supporting files separately, along with the app?

And is .NET 4.8 or higher already on Windows PCs?
The only 'why' that springs to mind is messing with friends, relatives, AirBnB guests remotely while filming it on the webcam .. all very problematic.

This is such an engineer's response to a usability problem.

I've worked with quite a few organizations and many of them use squash merges. Commits are often made because of a failed lint check needs a new formatting commit, addressing some comments to tweak some minor details, or even basic documentation changes. The pull request on GitHub ends up being the source of truth for the change, not the git log, and squash merges do a great job at keeping a single pointer to the parent pull request. Ignoring these nuances and how git interacts with other tools amounts to telling the user they're holding it wrong.

Clearly, squash merging does something useful but the author is totally not interested and declares that squash merging is good for one exceptionally specific use case, the only true clean commit history is not using git at all, and the problem exists between the keyboard and the computer.
Prohibiting importation means your farmers are at a disadvantage compared to the farmers in the country next door.

Will you now outlaw food imports from countries that accept Russian fertilizer?

If you do so, will you outlaw food imports from countries that ban direct importation of Russian fertilizer, but are lax on enforcement when ships registries are faked and when fertilizer goes through other nations?
Agree. "Single executable" combined with "less than 40mb" is just looking for trouble for what the author is trying to do. If you want to do win32, go ahead and give up styling. Otherwise, make compromises. I think many of these are excellent choices chosen by many programs that I use, it's the author's stringent requirements and unrealistic expectations that is holding back.

The 8051, first released in 1980, the 8051 effectively created the microcontroller market. 4kB ROM and 128B of SRAM for the original 8051. It always was on the small side.

We have to go earlier than 1980 but I'm not quite familiar with all of those computers.
For understanding Core Java, especially OOPS this book greatly helped me.

Joby aviation seems the furthest along.

Joby has completed many test flights that mimic its real-world route distances and energy-altitude flight regeimes.

Its flight avionics package (essential for VTOL fly-by-wire) has received FAA certification.

Related to Lilium and noise, Joby has a lower overall emitted dB energy and, specifically, a much lower dB signature in the human hearing range.

I've been running Element flawlessly for two years now, including a Synapse server. Never had it more "just works" before.
Most users are unaware that there are UI standards, and have no basis for comparison. They use Google to help them figure out how to use apps, and take hand-written notes on how to find the things that they need. Once they figure out the functions in an UI that they need, they just pray that it doesn't change. The average user experience is horrific.
This is a solved problem and many phones had it before the “let’s make it as hard as possible to change phone batteries” craze kicked in. Apple has the tech to do this, as does Samsung.
I mean, to the extent you can have “laws” and “government” without written language, maybe you could say that. The English, meanwhile, had steam engines, buildings nearly 500 feet tall, guns, cities with half a million people, street lighting, and indoor plumbing.
I couldn’t find anything in the docs or on the Internet about why this might happen with the autocal, and there’s nothing that details exactly how it works either.

A quick search found this document on the internal RC oscillator calibration, which explains all you need to know: http://nic.vajn.icu/PDF/STMicro/ARM/STM32F0/STM32F0xx_intern...

It is recommended to stop all application activities before the calibration process, and to restart them after calling the calibration functions. Therefore, the application has to stop the communications, the ADC measurements
and any other processes (except when using the ADC for the calibration, refer to Step 5. below). These processes normally use clock configurations that are different from those used in the calibration process. Otherwise, errors might be introduced in the application: errors while reading/sending frames, ADC reading errors since the sampling time has changed, and so on.
a tunnel is supporting some downward pressure above it while a pip is resisting an outwards pressure from inside - a brick/stone arch might work for downwards pressure, but will just come apart if pushed from the inside - unlike the illustration they'd more likely need some reinforced concrete structure to support the weight of the water/boat
The author here presents a theory that among non-neurotypical people, most individuals ("concluders") are motivated to use communication to arrive at points, express concern, etc. In addition, the author proposes that other people ("weavers") are motivated to use communication to create some combination of a vibe, extend riff, and in-joke bit. Or that weavers do have goals in mind, but want to achieve them via implicitly asking people to reciprocate their unstated and more specific motivations.

For example, the author suggests that to ask about someone else's day, "weavers" might say "I stubbed my toe." If their conversational partner reciprocates with the same motivation, the quality of each person's day will surface in the conversation. From what I know, some part of this might fall under the so-called "double empathy problem." I'm not an expert, however.

From the outside, neurotypical view, it's hard to know what to make of this. There is probably no way to describe or theorize about different sub-types of communication styles (or the underlying dimensional differences without coming up with straw-person arguments and using oddly abstract language. For the author to take this idea further, they'd have to convince neurotypical people how weaving is different from how neurotypical (?) people frequently engage in extended riffs. Whose Line is it Anyways?, improv comedy, the work of Stewart Lee and other stand-up comedians, and Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" for example, all involve the creator and audience pretending to take on different roles for the sake of the piece of art.

> It almost always made sense to buy the cheap fake ones knowing you might have to replacement them again sooner,

lovely how people throw away a working system that prevents this problem and returns us to the path of e-waste, while opposing even the idea of notifying the user about fake parts, all ostensibly in the name of preventing e-waste.
There's a similar method to get into an Eight Sleep Pod 3 [0]. This requires less extra hardware though since some models come with a MicroSD card that you can modify. The method used in TFA might be a good way to get root on Pods without the card. That being said, I just learned that while Eight Sleep does sign their firmware updates, they also send you the private key used to sign the update in the same package.

Phones have been using screws for years, it’ll be okay, we can handle screws and phones, we have the tech to accomplish this with minimal increase in size.
Unfortunately with Pub400 free account you only get user level access, so useful for learning the basics of using the system and developing code for it, but not for understanding the internals (topic of this blog post), you need sysadmin level access for that.

You can get a dedicated instance with sysadmin level access if you pay either Pub400, IBM, or a few other vendors. (The smaller instances are not bare metal, they are actually VMs using IBM’s hypervisor.) Whichever way you go you are paying $$$$, because IBM’s licensing for the OS starts at thousands of dollars a year (even for a very low-end system), and gets bigger quickly as the CPU/memory grows.
The typical outgoing mail box, where you put your mail in for it to be delivered, doesn't allow peering into it. So a physical measure to avoid that.

So if an AI model is controlling a character that walks around and interacts with human-controlled characters on a Minecraft server, according to you none of those exist, it is all just wires and electric currents? Then by the same logic, "you" also don't exist, it is all just neurons activating and making your muscles move.

> I've always believed knitting pattern design is programming.

In what sense? My dad is a blacksmith, and his ability to intuitively asses material requirements, adjust designs to make them feasible, and decompose shapes, far surpasses mine.

I guess it's hard for me to see what makes knitting designs any more like programming than any other craft. I'd think that an essential part of programming is exactly that the computer can't "adjust the parameters".
It looks like it has some impact, but it doesn't seem to be terribly large-scale, though?
Not exactly expensive, but public transit in LA/SF are nowhere near European levels, let alone Japanese levels. Like, to/from the train, you’ve got a slog of Caltrain, Bart/subway, and bus connections…on both sides well, maybe driving is competitive time wise. The same can be said for Chinese HSR stations that aren’t very centrally located, except they have more metros and cheap taxis to make that pretty viable.
I think it's sustainable, it's just that the potential market isn't that big (because prices will have to be fairly high for it to be sustainable).
Windows "Teletubby Edition"? :-) No, Win2k was "peak Windows", imho.

Frankly MS later ditched the quite ambitious Windows NT 5.0 project, which was the planed Win2k successor, for a Frankenstein monster made out of the super buggy WinME and Win2k. That became Windows XP.

Coming from Win98, Win98SE, WinMe, WinXP was for sure quite good. But compared to the super stable, fast, and well structured Win2k it was quite a disappointment. It didn't have almost any of the advanced features planed for WinNT 5, it was much more unstable and buggy than Win2k, it was quite chaotic with "old Win95" parts, stuff coming from Win2k, and some things on it own placed randomly.
> But I never had Covid19 myself, or at least, per my knowledge.

Same, and I long suspected it was just that I had it, but never showed any symptoms. But when my (live-together) bf had a respiratory problem on the tail end of covid's main brunt, they tested him and stated that he had no signs of every having had it.

I think some of us are just 'lucky' when it comes to this issue, as both me and my bf are immune compromised in a way that would make covid very serious should we catch it.

(Or maybe it's just quantum suicide, and all the universes where one of us caught it, we both died from it ;)
In Canada, it's the "Musical Ride" process.

I’m wondering why maintainers of open source projects don’t register as CNAs with Mitre for their projects and also why they don’t file a dispute on the CVE with Mitre which is the source for NVD and GHSA. This would help eliminate or reduce the impact of frivolous CVEs.
I never said it was, but in the context of this issue's specific impact, it seems pretty straightforward to me.

None of the things you mentioned have been even hinted at to my knowledge beyond mere speculation. They also probably won't affect the bottom line much in the long run even if they do happen; some level of unforeseen circumstance mitigation is almost certainly already factored into their business plan. Not to mention the effects of various insurance policies they may or may not have.

Possibility won't move the stock much; probability will. As it stands, it appears that the most likely outcome is that they'll skate, so no movement.

The only other potential to tank it that I see is order cancellations because the aircraft ceases to be viable for the buyers. For most of them, it'll have blown over well before the delivery date anyway, and if it was going to happen, it probably would have by now.

Therefore, nothing to see here... until the next mishap, anyway.

Labor for public projects is so messed up that we basically can’t build anything without paying 10-100x what China would pay to do it. Eventually we simply get economically outcompeted, or maybe we invent robots to make the projects feasible again.
> The diversion of water isn't a solution. You have to pump water up hill. Where are you getting the energy to do this?

Solar, wind, nuclear, biodiesel?

In particular, Kansas gets a whopping 50% of energy from wind and 14% from nuclear. They still use coal for 30% of the generation, but it's on the way out.

Mind you, mandating that the pumps are powered by renewable energy would be a good requirement.

> If so then you are making climate change worse just so you can grow crops in an area that isn't suitable for for growing crops because of a lack of water.

So your whole idea is to wring hands, self-flagellate, and then to write tearful articles about that?
My guess is that testing complexity is a function of the number of gates, so it doesnt matter too much if they are on a big die or many small dies.

Also testing is an extremly paralell process, scaling with the number of connections you can connect to the tested wafer, and recent technology(from testing hbm ram) can really scale that:

I have flown from Pensacola to Rochester, MN and it basically takes almost a day with plane changes, delays etc. 1000 miles distance. With a delayed flight it was 17 hours, I could almost have driven that distance by car in the same elapsed time.

With security and other hassles you basically burn a day in flight; so 30 hours NY/LA and being able to sleep, have high speed Internet, make normal phone calls, move around a bit, and eat (hopefully) normal food would not really cost any more time.
Checks running on continuous integration is the mitigation for not having used a linter during development in this case.

The linter feedback would take longer to get back to the developer though, increasing the "cost of change".
One has to appreciate how someone put conscious effort to write a "Synopsis" that's larger than the book itself.

Wasn't it mentioned in an HN post or comment somewhat recently (like a few weeks ago)? I think I saw it then, and checked out the site and a few demos at the time.
I don't think that's what the article is suggesting. It's saying if you suspect a system to be infected you can install some statically-linked tools to diagnose it.
One can dream of a system where they systematically seize all related compensation above a generous annual amount from members of the board and executives in these cases if found criminally negligent. E.g. credit them 250k/year and take the rest. A Calhoun or a Sackler wants to live like a robber baron, nobility, or oligarch? Fine, but high rewards means high risk or peasants with pitchforks.

The author talks about agency which require being able to independently take actions apart from reacting to an input. However, the feedback provided by a two-input model also limits the mind model as it now reacts to the feedback it receives when in listening mode. Isn't it contradictory to the concept if agency?

>No, the upside from infrastructure projects is largely not captured by the public nor the state.

Are you claiming that infrastructures are a loss to the public and state?
If there isnt enough public upside to justify the project, then the public should not take it on. IF there is enough upside, then spillover is acceptable and much of it will be captured in taxes anyways.

You didnt say foisting the cost, but you did suggest seizing private property to reduce the taxpayer expense and prevent owners from benefiting.

Im quite similar with Georgism, and think it is economically outdated in a service economy. Beyond that, it is only appealing if you oppose property ownership and think the purpose of the state is to optimize allocation of resources for tax farming.
This kind of behavior discredits the victims of school shootings.
I like it but it's not collaborative, so it's not in the same category for me.
As the language is usually presented, it has the syntactic requirement that all square brackets are properly paired. Of course, many interpreters (including the original one IIRC) don't fully validate this, but they will have inconsistent behavior on unpaired brackets. Here, the authors had to further specify that jumping from an unpaired bracket causes the program to halt.
