I'm curious as to the lifetime annotations. This is essentially the language designer's intent to say "place a marker on this data field such that the compiler can trace the usage of the field to insure it is not accessed (before,after) the memory is released."

Therefore, the lifetime is expressed via an additional abstraction requiring the associated language syntax, compiler design, additional rulesets, etc.

Why would the same concept not be expressible as it's own data type, that would then be passed as data? In this case, you remove the additional abstraction. It seems like Jai is going that route, where you pass an arena type instance around and interact with it.
I often wonder what role snobbery plays in the acceptance or formation of these kinds of rules.

An amateur would simply point their camera at the subject, and be done with it. To show that one has actually read a book on art, or at least thought about this for a minute, one can use the rule of thirds, or the golden ratio. Given enough guts, one can then proceed to the next level of reverse psychology by simply placing the subject in the center again, as Diane Arbus and Rineke Dijkstra do.

The fact that the latter are quite successful, suggests that the rules are not fundamental.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the article is really nice!
We could solve all our problems via the ballot box in the legislature, and then these people would have more or less no cases to resolve.

That has unfortunately proven unworkable.

It appears that Fabric8 do intend on targeting all the way down to low margin mass manufacturing with a high number of low cost machines which they run in house on a manufacturing service basis. They’re targeting 1000+ batches but I assume in time they’ll be able to do the very small batch stuff as well. Perhaps with a strategic partner that’ll deal with the small annoying customers like me. I’m super exited by this technology and am happy that they’re targeting areas that I think will be most impactful for the world of manufacturing, as well as long term profitable for them, and hopefully eventually very accessible for DIYers like myself.

You may trust the nation's top lawyers more than Congress. But in recent decades those lawyers have been picked for ideological purity in a process that distills what is bad about our political process. As a result I now trust Congress more than the Supreme Court. And not because I trust our broken Congress more than I used to!

I am not 100% certain because I did not pay that much attention but I am fairly confident that the nVidia repo was set up without me entering any command when I installed Tumbleweed on a new desktop 3 weeks ago.
In Kanban, you get that prediction of when features will be delivered by looking at the speed with which cards (on average) move across the board. If the average card takes 3 days, and you have 4 team members, and Feature card X is Y number of places down the board... do the math to know the timing. (And yes, that average takes some time before it is consistent, but so does the velocity in Scrum)

It takes some getting used to, but in the end the PM not only has the information of when features can get delivered, they have more control because all they need to do to change a feature's timing is drag it higher on the board. No meetings, no fuss, just drag and be done.

I think PMs who declare they need Scrum for timing purposes have never explored the equivalent timings in Kanban. If they prefer Scrum, that is fine... but claiming that Kanban can't time features is incorrect.
You’re a fucking scumbag. You deserve a hard lesson and if we were face to face, you’d receive a hard lesson.
With Tumbleweed (and probably Aeon) you can use factory/open build service to build your own packages. You could even fork Aeon or MicroOS and turn to that into something like a customized Arch Install that also benefits from whatever automated tests Tumbleweed comes with.
Congress is similarly captured.
He’s a fucking scumbag. Needs a good lesson.
Sure, I understand the XML is the feed. I just have a feed preview extension installed so I can look at RSS feeds in the browser. They help with accessibility at times, as I do use a screen reader. I set up The Old Reader so I could give myself back some feeds! I was in between readers, as I was testing a bunch. It was The Old Reader that said it was invalid.
Elixir is one language I REALLY want to use as the solo developer working on internal infrastructure tools; but I'm very hesitant as I don't want to be cruel to the person who eventually replaces me and has to maintain these applications written in this seemingly (awesome) niche language.

Instead, I'm stuck writing applications in Go which is a language I absolutely despise but can't deny it's ability to get shit done regardless of the insane amount of boilerplate code I have to write.

Any predictions on whether Elixir will eventually gain more traction? The language and platform are rock solid and it's the best developer experience I've encountered. Phoenix is by far my favorite web framework and just feels very intuitive and complete. The lack of a good IDE is one huge pain point that I can't seem to overcome (I don't care how much people praise it, I know it's the best but VSCode is awful for Elixir development).

I just wish this language was more popular because it deserves to be!
Thank you. It would be great if you posted it!

I’ve been simulating some halo orbits and also running into stability issues

It seems it’s pretty typical and depends on the integration method used, as well as the timestep

In general it is quite a hard problem to solve. Mathematically, it’s a very difficult problem. But also computationally, it is almost impossible to fully simulate an n-body system without getting chaotic orbits. Then you have to either cheat (by manually tweaking trajectories) or just picking a pretty small time range for the simulation
Amazon is also super sloppy with domains even when its legit. Working there I had to put my password into probably four or five tlds, and the onboarding process involved giving my SSN to an non amazon.com tld linked from an email that was from a different non amazon tld with a misconfigured cert that got it sent to spam by gmail and dotted with red rectangles and stop signs
We are working on a W3C proposal to hopefully improve both the DX and UX of setting dark/light so that developers can avoid hacks around FOUC, doubling up all CSS and needing JS on every page load to check the state.

"Maybe the big take-home point on this one is it's a pretty big object and it was only found 10 or 12 days before closest approach,"

I've said this before. The way they find these things is looking for movement against the distant background / starfield. That works pretty well for finding things, but there is one problem. Any object on a collision course with earth will NOT be moving across the background in the days leading up to the collision. It will appear stationary against the stars, so will not be detected by these systems. To some extent it also doesn't matter that we are orbiting the sun because while near, earth and asteroid will be in the same accelerating reference frame.

Another way to model it is to think of firing a projectile from earth into deep space and see how that tracks against the background. That'd be the reverse scenario and there will be no relative motion until it's far enough to not get the same influence from the sun.

Speaking generally (as I am currently between roles) the whole team always comes to retro, including the team’s product person. Sometimes external people (e.g. from Customer Success) have been invited as well. And I’ve never seen any problem getting buy in from product.

I honestly think restricting retros to the engineers on a team is too narrow.

Most places I’ve worked this has been fortnightly.

This is crazy. The case against Apple is much stronger than the one against Google.

Android devices don't even require the Play Store. Tons of devices out there are sold without it. Android is on far more than just phones. Google doesn't have as much control over its presence on devices as Apple does with the App Store on iOS.
I believe they're referring to the idea of a gravitational force carrying particle, like photons for electromagnetism, W/Z bosons for the weak force, and gluons for the strong force. Typically this gets called a graviton but they've never been observed and the theories predicting them as far as I know don't predict that we can detect them in any meaningful/practical way right now which is also one of the problems for issues with a quantum theory of gravity.

I've always wondered (but not done the research/reading) on how that would mesh with black holes since you'd need gravitons to escape to mediate the curvature of space-time but that'd seemingly (to me) require them to be able to either ignore the curvature of space-time or travel faster than the speed of light in order to do so. And I believe that those two options there are actually mathematically equivalent as far as the consequences of things go.
Not a trope when its true and factual. Hell, ex-CIA directors have even admitted it in books and TV! Most Americans don't like hearing that their government can be one of the "bad guys".
I think the seasonality of the polar environment is a critical factor - while warming is expect to decrease the average equator-to-pole temperature gradient (as all models predict faster polar warming than equatorial warming by a large margin), winter is still winter as the polar axis is tilted, so steep atmospheric gradients are expected over that seasonal period.

This is taking power away from regulator bodies like EPA that enforce the laws and giving it to the courts... taking the enforcement out of the hands of the experts.
They genuinely believe they are "too big to fail". They've got thousands of employees, they've been around for 30 years, they are a critical part of public infrastructure: surely something as trivial as a few weirdos in a mailing list couldn't instantly kill their entire business?

Stuff like this happens when upper management has zero clue about the business they are in. They believe they are in the business of selling certificates, while in reality they are in the business of selling trust. They treat things like the CA/B Forum and the various Root Programs as more like an optional networking event than the combination of judge, jury, and executioner that it actually is - with a completely predictable outcome.
The article mentions that:

> Because it can be difficult and expensive to keep sesame in one part of a baking plant out of another, some companies began adding small amounts of sesame to products that didn't previously contain the ingredient to avoid liability and cost. FDA officials said that violated the spirit, but not the letter, of federal regulations.

Garments Manufacturing and Export (the most common good sold on Shein and Temu) has a profit margin of around 2-3%.

Garments have had a 25% import tariff in Mexico since 2023 [0][1], and Trans-Pacific shipping costs have risen 70% [2].

This means, a shirt that costs $1 to manufacture in China and is sold at $1.03 (profit margin) will now cost an additional $0.25, making the overall cost $1.28. Meanwhile, the US has FTAs with Vietnam [3], which means Vietnamese manufacturers can still charge $1.03 (in fact, the margin is higher in VN because input costs are lower). The only way the Chinese manufacturer can compete is to spend $0.25 of their own money, but the Vietnamese manufacturer can undercut the Chinese manufacturer by selling at $1.01 and still end up ahead.

The math gets way worse with steel, automotive, machinery, and other high value goods that get hit with the 50% tariff.

It doesn't matter if a Chinese manufacturer exports directly to the US or via Mexico - they will always be burning money, while competitors in Vietnam, Mexico (they give a tax holiday if you manufacture in MX under IMMEX), India, and Bangladesh can reinvest or discount and undercut Chinese manufacturers. The only reason to eat this loss as an exporter is if you are trying to build funds abroad because you cannot transfer them outside anymore (eg. the parents of a couple of my Chinese friends back in college began doing this because of the money transfer limit Xi instated in 2017-18).

PDD (owner of Temu) and Shein can eat these costs because they are marketplaces (they aren't doing the manufacturing), but the sellers and manufacturers are the ones that are generating a loss.

Good. Make Congress do its job. Erode the executive until we're not frothing at the mouth every 4 years worrying about who will be "in charge," and instead focusing on the actions of our congressional representatives.

There’s no requirement for them to be a lawyer at all, or have any legal training.
Agreed, I think it is a great article. Personally, I'm most inclined to agree with the "bear case" summarized at the bottom of the article:

1. I think it's highly likely that, at some point (and probably in the not-too distant future with ITER and DEMO), humans will produce fusion reactors that are self-sustaining with net positive output (ignition).

2. Given the inherent complexity and difficulty with fusion, I think it's unlikely to ever be cost competitive with simpler power generation technologies.

3. Perhaps most importantly, at least in the next human lifetime, I think fusion will be largely irrelevant in the quest for carbon-free power generation, mostly as a result of the timescales required. I think right now that everyone pretty much understands that the problem with decarbonization tech is base load and storage: carbon-free renewables like solar and wind are already the cheapest form of energy generation, but they're intermittent and unreliable. Given the latest climate data, I think it's imperative that we develop base load and storage tech in the text 10/20/50 years, or we're REALLY f'd. But I haven't heard even fusion's biggest boosters say that fusion will be ready for large scale deployment in those timeframes, at cost-competitive economics. Point being, by the time I think fusion might be ready for large scale deployment, we better have already solved the base load and storage problems with cheaper tech.

Q: is it actually the code that you loved, or simply the tooling that exists?

I can take the point with Google on transferring already installed apps from the Play Store to a 3rd Party store. That is a real issue which warrants further scrutiny, because the vectors for potential abuse.

I think the free ride of the Play Store having back links automatically in 3rd party app stores to “fill the gaps” is also problematic for representation reasons and is actually bad for users, as origin becomes obfuscated and so does support. If you want apps as a 3rd party store you need to recruit developers to publish to it. This is a clear and transparent attempt by Epic to undercut the Play Store while simultaneously benefiting from it at the same time. It’s not a pro consumer move.

I have trouble siding with them on the claims of distribution.

Distributing 3rd party app stores via Google Play Store isn’t hard, it’s just another app, effectively. It would actually allow them to police for exploitation and malware more transparently I would think, since the store itself would have to get approved like any other app.
What a nice ruling, showing so much compassion, generosity and common sense, that it would make a decent Phillip K Dick Story.
The trouble I see is that new consumption matching (or even some locations where proposed DCs exceed) new green generation may not let us displace dirty generation such as coal, which we should be looking to eliminate.

The other issue that comes up with green generation is how variable it is, sometimes it'll be cloudy and still air, others will be windy and sunny, and the grid needs to capable of supplying everyone in both scenarios and not overbuilding generation they can't turn off. Having industries available to soak up an appropriate amount of energy available within their ecosystem would be great, but it's a hard sell to anyone to invest billions in sites where there could be no guarantees on utilization if they get bad weather for a few months. If there is any "plays nicely with others" regulation on consumption of a common resource, it's going to be reactive to problems than ahead of time.
+1

I can not understate how much I agree with parent comment.

The opposite of move fast, build a shitty prototype and iterate is a deliberate problem solving approach undertaken by the highest caliber of engineers. The actual challenges to be addressed are effectively addressed right at the design stage.

The result is a thing of immense beauty and elegance.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to see this magnificent piece of engineering in action.
Because the earth's rotational axis is not perpendicular to incident sunlight (hence dark polar winters). As winter sets in, gradients steepen relative to warming equator. It's all complicated by the general increase of atmospheric water vapor as warming proceeds, which can have different effects depending on whether the water vapor is gaseous or forms cloud droplets, which reflect sunlight. It's a hard physics problem.

Indeed. By definition, very few aspiring players break through to be among the very top players. But I bet some of those socializing players at least came away from their journey with a little less loneliness and more lasting friendships.
Art and Artifice
This may have been true at one time, but it is not true now. 128 players qualify for the first round of each of the four major tournaments and for each, the players have a guaranteed payday even if they lose in the first round. For the 128 who qualify for the US Open, players will get over $80k for just playing the first round, even if they lose.

For example, the 101st ranked ATP (men) player has made over $450k from prize money in just a little over half of this season. The 102nd ranked player has made over $330k so far. Considering that there are two more majors left this year which they'll likely qualify for, they'll likely make another several hundred thousand more at-least this year from just competition.

Many of the top 150 tennis players often make the equivalent amount to their prize money or greater in sponsorships. The lack of sustainable income from just competition becomes more true once you look outside the top 150.

The low ranking tennis players that the article referred to were outside the top 300, which meant that they were stuck playing the futures tournaments where there is little possibility for money. Conor Niland, who wrote the article, only briefly achieved a career high ranking of 129, but spent most of his career ranked outside of the top 300.

How is it "taking the enforcement out of the hands of the experts?" Judges are supposed to be experts on law. That's literally their job. If the parties before them feel that they need expert knowledge to render the right ruling, then they need to take those experts and either depose them or have them testify. Expert witnesses are a thing; this is not some new idea.
