> “Everyone is talking about trying to recover vehicles, and a lot of my focus has been on why we are not making the vehicles tougher to steal in the first place,” he said.

This is a surprising statement. My recollection is that car manufacturers have made cars far, far harder to steal than they used to be. Possibly it's just an insecure whataboutism, but I don't think car recovery is first on the list for most people in terms of car crime.
My point is indifferent to how one important is versus the other. It's a pragmatic point; if you're running out of water, focus on changing the 80% and not the 20% long tail. Even if you remove the entirety of the 20% it still won't solve your issue.
The dual nature of seniority in software development
In the mainstream languages, synchronisation seems to be a means (locking code) to an end (locking data).

The programmer usually does not care that only one thread can enter a method at a time - that's just the 'how'. The 'why' is that the programmer wants to reason about reads and writes in a multithreaded environment as easily as one would do in a single-threaded environment.

Compare lock management to memory management. Method synchronisation is analogous to using stack variables - you don't have to do the work manually, but you can't work across method boundaries.

Manually locking/unlocking a resource is analogous to malloc and free. It's prone to error, unless you adopt draconian rules preventing flexibility.

What's the GC of lock management?
I type regularly in English, Portuguese and Spanish. 2 out of 3 of those languages use a lot of diacritics and other character modifications (ç, ñ, ...).

I also use the repeat key and wouldn't want to not have that available.

Compose keys can work but they add one extra keystroke for each modified character. I prefer to use keymaps with dead keys for that, so to type á I press ', then a; to type ñ, it's ~, then n; and so on and so forth.

I then have a shortcut to change keymaps for when I'm typing English or writing code vs. when I'm typing Portuguese or Spanish.

Long-pressing is terrible. It introduces a delay which massive slows down my typing and overrides the key repeat.
Looks nice, and modern python.

The code example on the front page has this:

`const data = await crawler.get_data()`

That looks like Javascript? Is there a missing underscore?
Never, ever invest in any shine new microsoft technology too heavily.

Microsoft launches new products based on basically one or both of two overarching themes:

1) This is a product that we can sell business that promises to commodify or eliminate the need for software developers completely (microsoft as a company hates software development as a well paid profession and truly believe that they should be the only organization writing software in the entire world)

2) This is a product that ties our customers into one of of our cash cows.

And this is all. There's no coeherent strategy beyond that.

Right. I think it's already a solved problem though. HTML and the HTML DOM are a living solution to that exact problem. All that we have to do is take the patterns used to power general UI and develop a DOM for code.

I love love love that we're having these discussions about housing first and tiny homes, what if the homeless damage them, let's build (new) traditional custodial institutions for the violent, and so on...

...at exactly when architectural Brutalism is having a critical revival, don't tear down the Moriyama Science Centre, look at those beautiful Brutalist churches...

We scrounge ratty old buildings for inadequate, dangerous shelters, and haggle and whinge to the point of inaction about housing people in shipping containers or surplus hotels, but laud "jail cell chic".

It goes to show that "The cruelty is the point", that "We'll give you the world if only you bow down before [our economic truisms]". Some people have taken into their hearts that human suffering is a renewable resource.
They don't talk about cognitive functions. Those would be things like vision and memory. And I'm not holding them to the same standards, but that doesn't mean that any old balony is fine. People attach a certain value to psychological tests, and they should realize that the whole thing is rather arbitrary.
The halting problem for any given program is either true or false, so a program that prints true or a program that prints false is a valid function that produces an answer for that function. You don't know _which_ one is the correct function, but it exists. The thing that's not computable is a function that produces an answer given any arbitrary program as input.

It's the difference between:

does_program_x_halt():
return true

and

does_program_halt(x):
if x halts:
return true
else:
return false

The important distinction is that the first function is a constant that takes no input, and the second function is not a constant and takes a program as input. The first is computable(although we may not know right now if "return false" or "return true" is the correct function, one of the two is), the second is not.

I think an important clarification to make is whether or not we currently know how to write a function isn't relevant to whether it's computable or not.
A Decorator Crashed My Flask App: Lessons Learned
Im looking forward to a new hybrid work generation computing device.

Setup: A monitor keyboard and mouse and a dock with a USB C port.

Device: 1hr battery powered mini pc/device with USB c.

Use: Take device with me to work, school, or workstation outside of home. Work a few hours. And wrap up and leave.

This device can be a phone too! Like all amazing tech, I feel the opportunity for such devices will pass before it reaches to market.
In this instance, does Boeing need to fail though? There seems to be quite a bit of criminality happening, which is a law enforcement issue. The rest should have been caught by regulatory bodies.

If you get rid of the criminals and enforce regulations that ensure quality control and safety, I don't see why you need to completely eliminate the company and destroy all the supply chains they're a part of and jobs they provide.
Helium atoms are actually smaller than hydrogen atoms, and much smaller than hydrogen mollecules.
There are people whose opinions I trust who like them, so I don't doubt they work well. The big complaints are the obscene prices for memory and storage. People buy what they can afford, and it's a fraction of the memory and space on an equivalent Windows system using the same chips from the same factories. And often what they can afford in Apple's world isn't enough.

There's no excuse other than greed.
Yep, no grids or fences in Estonia, at least not in typical state-managed forests. These just get replanted in furrows or on "turfs" (not sure about the correct English term). Newly planted seedlings can appear really tiny at first, though -- so tiny that even seasoned forestry workers who are later mowing grass around them occasionally fail to spot all the plants in the grass.

Source: have manually planted maybe ~300 000 trees in Estonia over the years, and also done the brush cutting work afterwards. I don't think clear cutting could be avoided entirely (among other things, we're maybe too spoiled as timber consumers for that), but it does feel way too extensive over here (emphasis on the word "feel" here -- as, despite some hands-on experience, my analytical understanding of the forestry ecosystem is very superficial). In place of confier monocultures, a small society like Estonia could maybe place its focus on heavily developing mixed forests instead, for a start. Abrupt forestry policy changes would likely backfire socio-economically (e.g. unemployment rise in rural areas). But those spruce-only or pine-only forests everywhere do look kind of... sad.
You can just pass the custom command line as you run the kernel from UEFI shell prompt, e.g.

fs0:linux.efi root=/dev/nvme0n1p1 initrd=ramfs.img loglevel=2

In my experience the nuisance part is creating and editing boot entries, especially if you try to set them up from the UEFI shell, so I tend to compile any initramfs and the default kernel command line into my kernel so I can drop it at /boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi and minimise contact with the UEFI monstrosity.
This bootloader gives you some amazing features such as booting distros from different zfs datasets or snapshots and chrooting into your system. Really does make grub and ext4 feel like the stoneage.
I'm aware of a similar app concept developed by Pieter Levels. I appreciate the idea, but taking users' money away could potentially lead to dissatisfaction among them. What do you think about this potential issue? Do you believe it could cause negative reactions from users?

New Heat Map Shows Scorching Streets That Can Burn Skin in Seconds
Well if ARM laptops more power efficient, cheaper, faster which makes consumer choose it (either by going to iMac or installing linux) Microsoft might lose market share. It's also a great excuse to get new eye balls on legacy code and fix all king of issues

As someone who doesn't dabble with Java too often, this looks nice.

Services like Plausible add time into the mix. So you know that someone visited these 5 pages in 20 min. But you wont know about returning visitors. I think thats pretty significant difference.

But if what you are saying is true then it's impossible to know how many people visited your website unless you have banner. What about logs then? Sounds like everybody is happily using those because they are "legitimate interest" because servers couldn't work without them but its way more identifying data than what Plausible saves.
True, but when you're travelling for weeks at a time, you might need a replacement cable for whatever reason. It's easy to get a USB-C to USB-C cable or HDMI to HDMI cable pretty much anywhere. As soon as you want adapters, it'll be much harder to find and when you do it'll probably be 10x the price it should be.

The fact it obviously charges over USB-C is great - it's easy to get a new charger everywhere too. I've actually now stopped taking a travel adapter with me when travelling, and just buy a local USB power brick if I don't already have one for the country I'm going to. My oldish Dell laptop was my last non-USB powered device, but I found some cables on eBay that do the trick and even carrying a spare around (just in case) is less hassle than carrying the original laptop power brick.

Salmon farms need to go. They are a plague to the wild salmon populations.

Here in BC Canada, our local area wild salmon populations are finally recovering after the closure of the local salmon farms.

They crowd fish in biologically hazardous conditions, then pump them with antibiotics and chemicals to keep them alive. All this in open water pens shared with the rest of the ecosystem.

One better solution seem to be inland salmon farms.

Wild salmon are too critical to many food chains both in the water and on land.

Statistically reliable, in what sense? That they frequently produce the same outcome on repeated application of the test? That's not a surprise. As a wise man said: the gold standard for repeatable outcome is astrology.

Suppose I make a test and ask questions like "Do you like coffee?" and "Is your favorite color blue?". That would get a very high test-retest reliability. If I then score e.g. +coffee -blue as "intelligent", does that really mean people who like coffee but prefer orange are intelligent?

> it allows to edit the cmdline of the kernel to recover a system

Except they've made it increasingly harder to do this over the years. Nowadays you have to guess when it is on the magic 1 second of "GRUB time" before it starts loading and then smack all the F keys and ESC key and DEL key at the same time with both hands and both feet because there is nothing on the screen that tells you which key it actually is.

All while your monitor blanks out for 3 seconds trying to figure out what HDMI mode it is using, hoping that after those 3 seconds are over that you smacked the right key at the right time.

And then you accidentally get into the BIOS instead of the GRUB.

It used to be a nice long 10 seconds with a selection menu and clearly indicated keyboard shortcuts at the bottom, and you could press ENTER to skip the 10 second delay. That was a much better experience. If you're in front of the computer and care about boot time, you hit enter. If you're not in front of the computer, the 10 seconds don't matter.

I know you can add the delay back, I just wish the defaults were better.
The UN also thinks that Taiwan is part of China so I would not be to quick to follow their judgement.
Disclaimer: I'm the tech co-founder at https://replexica.com.

I like the idea.

At Replexica we've basically built a better + much faster (+ sometimes cheaper) alternative to Lokalise, Phrase, and Crowdin (we help dev teams do AI translations of user interfaces - web, mobile, Apple Vision Pro, etc.). So having seen some things, I must say AI-powered localization is indeed the future, but it's very, very hard to get it right.

For example, it took us a while to perfect the quality. Working with the "industry standard" scores (BLEU, etc.) isn't easy, and the state of the machine translation industry feels very last century, so you have to oftentimes invent things by studying the latest research.

It's a constant quest to ensure the user gets the best, perfect result, and not to mention, different LLMs perform differently with different language pairs, which adds an extra challenge to maintaining accuracy while iterating. For example, we had to build a regression testing setup internally, to make sure the quality only improves as we ship.

Nevertheless, good luck. I will be keeping an eye on your progress.

BTW, loving your domain name.

> So, while the EU has certainly supported Airbus, the US government has also heavily subsidized Boeing, creating a complex and competitive landscape in the aerospace industry. This context is crucial when discussing the challenges and decisions faced by both companies.

LLM-generated comment is becoming quite obvious to spot.

On the main topic: Boeing not only received subsidies from the government as stated on the two parent-sibling comments as they've also attempted to kill Bombardier CSeries competition by judicial means in the USA. Instead of providing a better product they attempted to delay Bombardier's sales of the CSeries by starting a long judicial process accusing Bombardier of price-dumping when they didn't have a competitive product.

Unfortunately for Bombardier it was a big blow to their sales of the CSeries, fortunate was Airbus who could pick up the pieces and start production of the jets in the USA to circumvent the main argument Boeing tried to use against them.

> The original sin of the Max disasters was rushing to make the 50+ year-old 737 something it wasn't meant to be to counter Airbus's success in the narrow body segment.

Completely due to mismanagement of Boeing's product line, they lost against Airbus A320neo/A321 and Bombardier CSeries, they weren't competitive and didn't have a product in the works to compete. Against Bombardier they tried their dirty tricks, and failed.

It's all on Boeing, they rushed a subpar product in a panic because of their own failures to read the market, in the process killing hundreds of people.

Happens quite frequently in Europe too. While outright violent crime might be rarer in Europe, nonviolent crime, at least specifically targeting tourists (theft, pickpocketing, scams, fraud) seems higher than in the US.
I definitely don't have the answer of whether the company should fail, but that shouldn't be prevented either. They should be held to account for what was done, whether that lands only on the corporation or the individuals is left up to those with access to all the known facts. If the aftermath is enough to bankrupt the company though, so be it.

What I wouldn't want to see is a company destroyed as part of a witch hunt. Boeing doesn't have to be destroyed by any means, they could find a way through it depending on what the punishment is for their actions.
I personally think CSTML is both compact and readable, though I understand why it would look the opposite the very first time you see it (and without any syntax highlighting at that).

Open up the source code for this web page: is it compact and readable? The answer seems to be that HTML is "good enough" in that regard, and I suspect CSTML will be the same especially as more developer tooling for it becomes available.

Oddly enough, a lot of the anti-theft features that we take for granted in Europe - like ignition breakers - aren't built into US cars by default. I guess sometimes laws really help to nudge companies to do the right thing. Especially if doing the right thing costs a few additional $$$s.
I use Jiujitsu, and my personal experience is that the basic "write code, git add what specifically I want to history" flow is the same. The working commit is the effective staging area and it doesn't get forever committed to public history.

Glass-metal feedthroughs have been the standard means of connecting semiconductor devices during the first decade of their existence, when they were packaged in hermetic cases made of either metal or glass. Their main problem is to use pairs of special kinds of glasses and of metal alloys that are matched in their thermal expansion coefficients.

After 1960, better passivating methods for the semiconductor chips have been developed, so the hermetic packages have been slowly replaced with plastic packages for most applications.

It is likely that the PCB glued in place covers the glass-metal feedthroughs, which have metal pins that are inserted in connectors soldered on the PCB. It is impossible for any case that contains helium to have any part made of plastic in any of its walls. Plastic parts like a PCB can only be attached externally.
I live in western EU and I confirm that. There's so much forest in my place that nobody cares about that you could heat the whole area without cutting a single tree, just by picking up what fell down. I'm totally serious about that, there's so much trees on the floor that cutting new ones for firewood is mostly useless.

And despite all of this, we import processed pellets and the only wood we cut is sent to China for making furniture, that's absolute insanity.
