One I thought was kind of silly that I made was something to turn a bunch of messy input into a clean comma separated list. We needed to make lists like this a lot from rather poor input, and people often came to me to help them. Eventually I made a little webpage to do it, so they could get their job done easily without me being around. I figured only 2 people on the team would use it. I ended up putting some basic metics on it to see the usage, and a few years after I made it, I saw it was being used hundreds of times per month. I was attending a demo from some other team and the guy doing the demo used it to prepare his input before demoing whatever his team did. To this day I'm shocked at how many people found that useful.

I incorporate the ideas from this into nearly everything I make today, so people can dump in the messy list as the input, then I magically clean it up for them, instead of making it an extra step, like most of the other stuff out there which still makes the page useful.
A search engine does not return a true answer. It returns a set of possibilities ranked by likelihood.

I suppose the order your introduce those examples in ultimately comes down to whether it's more important for the student to first understand what the computer is doing or how it is doing it.

Most people don't start out thinking like computers, so I think it's probably more important for a new student to understand how code describes a particular series of operations and then help them translate that into how a computer "thinks" about those operations.

Eh, this seems like a pretty bullshit argument on the part of manufacturers though. My expectation for a food prep area is that I should be able to safely eat off of any surface. This level of cleanliness should eliminate any contaminants from the environment bigger than airborne dust and given how relatively cheap air filtration equipment is a case could be made there as well. In any case sesame seeds are a hell of alot bigger than dust so there's no great excuse to have them wandering from one product line to another.
^ This is correct.

> (digestive problems vs anaphylaxis) ... and would probably be better classified as an intolerance similar to lactose

is misinformation — "digestive problems" and "intolerance" drastically understate the seriousness of celiac disease, and contribute to the educational challenges surrounding the condition.

The chronic impact of gluten exposure to a celiac patient include: permanent damage to the small intestine, malnutrition, reduction of lifespan, and significantly increased risk of comorbid autoimmune diseases (MS, diabetes, and more) and cancer.

The acute symptoms span from gastrointestinal symptoms to neurological issues, systemic pain, and cognitive impairment. The reason for all of this is gluten causes the celiac patient's immune system to mobilize and attack the patient, i.e. "autoimmunity." Not anaphylactic, correct, but not a digestive problem nor an intolerance.

... their borders remain unchanged. As Russia (and the US) well knows, you can't change borders without sending the tanks in. And as the US has learnt the hard way, even then, it's probably not worth it.

On pneumatics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage suggests 50-70% efficiency at utility scale, with China leading. https://www.csiro.au/en/research/technology-space/energy/Ene... suggests 65% with 75% assumed aspirationally feasible. https://www.resilience.org/stories/2018-05-18/ditch-the-batt... suggests 75-85% but is likely non-holistic. https://www.signal.it/en/products/case-history-pneumopower/ suggests a small-scale implementation has been successfully productized. Indicatively at <=7 bar pressure they achieved post-loss output of DC24V@12W with a ~300g device. Since only a fraction of this is required, it should be possible to drop to ~50g with some loss of efficiency. Tiny motors are inexpensive as numerous factories compete for business, but they can fail so a replaceable setup external to the body would be preferable.

Since you only need a very small amount of current, something like a small compressed air canister could then presumably store many months worth of power. It would need to activate the air source for recharging only sporadically. This could be done using physical input from the operator and an NC-type valve in order to sidestep the flat-start problem, with a parallel option for electronic actuation.

Perhaps steampunk social networking would be a better market. One imagines darkly clad figures sneaking around urban environments clandestinely sneaking power top-ups from from random vehicle tyres...

Yea, Home Depot PVC doesn't belong anywhere near compressed air. I knew a guy who wanted to outfit his garage with several compressed air drops for air tools and used plain old white PVC. Big mistake which he realized when one of the fittings shattered and launched a metal quick-disconnect through the garage door and out into the street. Thankfully nobody was in the line of fire. Please don't use PVC for air under pressure.

How on earth is speaking to the media about their own analysis of what happened going to "contaminate the neutrality of the investigation and prosecution"?

Are the NTSB and DOJ so easily swayed that Boeing's words will negate their ability to tell fact from fiction? And if so, why should we listen to them at all?

If you're not planning on switching carriers the financing offered by carriers is a 0% interest loan. If you just need a flight somewhere for a weekend trip, carry on a backpack, and pack your own snacks those $100 Spirit flights are real. If you play the game you actually do come out ahead. It being possible at all to get flights that cheap is the lifeblood of broke bitches.

Restaurant surcharges are a mixed bag because so long as they're advertised at the door I think they're great, they make take-out cheaper. But Ticketmaster is just garbage and their practices should be strongly illegal because it's just fuck you pay more.
> You’re saying “created excess demand” like the people that you’re referring to weren’t chronic pain patients.

My favorite part of prop 65 is they decided on a level of a warning when something was above one thousandth (1/1000) of the no observable effect level for anything that can cause birth defects or reproductive harm.

This caused a problem when they added Vitamin A to the list of chemicals known to cause reproductive harm since one thousandth of the no effect level is far below the RDA for pregnant women.
It could probably be in a separate repository with access controls and/or deployment lifecycle.

In particular, a change to the yaml for feature flags could bypass most of your build and test pipeline, and changes could be deployed more quickly.

OTOH, you still need to figure out a deployment strategy for it.
There are more options than store in git, or flip willy nilly.

For systems of sufficient scale, it's fairly standard to keep flag changes outside of git so that they can be flipped without a pr. That way the flag change UI can apply other validation steps before any change is attempted such as ensuring valid enrolment ranges (no accidental overlap, and no accidental rollouts to 100% instead of 10%), and the associated rollout analytics can be shown alongside the changes.

You can also override things in emergencies more easily, which is the parent's point.
This position makes perfect sense in a setting where there's broad competition and incumbents that put quality of product ahead of shareholder value. I don't feel like current market conditions meet either of those criteria so you'd in effect just be giving manufacturers an out at the expense of folks with allergies.
C doesn't have a "do this 3 times" loop though. It has an "initialize counter to 0 first, increment counter after each operation, and compare the counter to 3 (or is it 4?)" loop. Kids definitely don't get this without being taught.
Another issue is that modern AI is notoriously energy-intensive.

Because of policy choices over the past several decades, as well as the ongoing war with Russia, the EU is already struggling to provide enough energy for its existing industry. There just isn’t any slack left for a newcomer.

This is a relatively recent (2022) comparison of the Industrial electricity prices including taxes:

In Germany, it is over 120% more expensive.

In the UK, over 150%.

You asked why the opinion is worth reading: because it lays out an argument for why a distinction exists, and has been recognized and differentiated by comparable laws, and isn't by §666.

You can disagree with the reasoning, but there is reasoning there. You can disagree with the outcome (and you should!) but that's an issue for your legislators (federal, state and local), not the judiciary.

If we've learned anything from Roe, it's that federal precedent is an absolutely unsound basis for policy implementations. Decisions like this (and there are going to be more of them) are argument and impetus for more and better __law__ at state, local, and federal levels.
I enjoyed reading the bible when I was a kid. It seemed very real and somehow approachable. Christianty, I think, is a very human-scale religion.

However, note the "teach" in the headline--as if education should be little more than an education beaten into you. Sure, this will help anyone succeed (just follow the asshole in front of you.)

Perhaps they should consider teaching all religions? Or, rather, give students access to all religious texts and teach them about hermeneutics and comparative studies.

You either must really not care about the job, or be corrupt (and get some under-the-table money) to sign something like this. Somehow in the private sector people complain, and once it comes to someone high up, heads fall until it's solved... but not in the public sector.
> do you think Google would depend on third party software for anything as core as the RPC system?

I don't believe Google has (had?) any objections to using open source or open sourcing things but you have to remember two things:

1. Most companies weaponize open source. They use it to "commoditize their product's complements" [1]; and

2. Google3 are so deeply integrated in a way that you can't really separate some of the tech because of the dependencies on other tech. More on that below.

> Open sourcing Stubby could certainly have been done. You just open source the dependencies too

Yeah, I don't think it's always that simple. You may not own the rights to something to be able to open source it. Releasing something may trigger more viral licenses (ie GPL) to force you to open source things you don't want to or can't.

I actually went through the process of trying to import a few open source packages into Google's third party repo and there are a lot of "no nos". Like a project had to have a definite license (that was white listed by legal). Some projects liked to do silly things like having a license like "do whatever you want" or "this is public domain". That's not how public domain works BTW. And if you contacted them, they would refuse to change it even something like an MIT license, which basically emans the same thing, because they didn't understand what they were doing.

> And then Borg wasn't open sourced

This actually makes sense. Later on your suggest you were a Google SRE so you should be aware of this but to whoever else reads this: Google's traffic management was deeply integrated into the entire software stack. Load balancing, DDoS defense, inter-service routing, service deployment onto particular data centers, cells and racks and so on.

It just doesn't make sense to open source Borg without everything from global traffic management down to software network switching.

> I think only Blaze/Bazel is core infrastructure in which the open source version is actually genuinely the same codebase

I don't know the specifics but I believe that Bazel too was "Blaze inspired". I suspect it's still possible to do things in Blaze that you can't do in Bazel even though the days of Blaze BUILD files being Python rather than "Python syntax like" are long gone.

Also, Blaze itself has to integrate with various other systems than Bazel doesn' eg ObjFS, SrcFS, Forge, Perforce/Piper, MPM and various continuous build systems.

Fantastic survey - https://www.resumebuilder.com/3-in-10-companies-currently-ha... - and pretty cool from a job seeking-related site. Worth redoing by some other organization but meanwhile it gives some input to the impression that there are a billion jobs posted but employers not exactly in a hurry to fill these positions.

Which also means someone is about to get sued for this practice on account of wasting job seekers' time, manipulating statistics, fraud, creating a hostile job environment, and probably several more employement law related reasons.

No argument there. Of the many baffling things about the ongoing Boeing saga, why the executive wing of the company isn't hiding in a bunker in New Zealand while their lawyers try to fend off a zombie apocalypse of minority investor lawsuits is definitely a head-scratcher for me. There's also the quant notion of the government applying career-altering fines when corporations step out of line but it's been so long now that this is just a bitter memory for cranky olds.
It's too bad that Saddam's punishment isn't in the cards for Boeing executives and other corporate execs who commit heinous acts that kill people.
And, of course, a picture of your passport and driver licence proves absolutely nothing, except that you're able to upload a picture of a passport and a picture of a driver licence. Uploading a video of your face proves that, well, you have a face. It would be trivial to make the photo and video match with easily accessible technology.

At least where I live, governments don't really let a third party validate the info on a passport or even on a driver licence outside of a few regulated entities like banks - so they aren't doing anything useful with these photos, except storing them for the inevitable leak.

The only way to fix cross-contamination issues is to have a different production facility for every possible combination of allergens.

Which is insane.

I worked in a factory that packaged food, if one product contained an allergen, there was no way you could guarantee that a tiny amount of that allergen wouldn't get into some amount of the next product on that production line. No way. Not any possible way. You can clean all you want, you can do whatever you want, you can mandate whatever procedures you want, but there's just no way. Even if every half-awake half-sober completely uncaring third shift production worker (like 1990's era me) does everything exactly right, which they won't, even if they actually cared to, which they won't.

The FDA is putting manufacturers in an impossible position, and it's insane.

I have food allergies, believe me, I get it. But there's just no way. If a manufacturing facility produces products with tree nuts, someone with an allergy to tree nuts has to treat every product produced in or near that facility as though it contains tree nuts. That's reality.

The FDA is not dealing with reality. The problem here is the US federal government.
