Xfinity these days will have the tech set up your WiFi with your password. It's an integrated device so he'll set up the cable internet and then your WiFi. Monkeybrains is all "you're set up!" and then you add your own WiFi router. Sonic has you set up your own WiFi. AT&T has the WiFi password printed on the device along with the admin password.

That's my experience with ISPs in SF. It's clear that many people don't buy Internet access. They buy "WiFi" which is that Xfinity integrated service. The components don't matter.
Paste this into a Chrome DevTools console on a Google site - sure looks like a special API to me:

console.log('CPU Info:\n', JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));

Bingo. Personally, i always disliked POSIX and preferred NT's way of doing things. Synchronous IO by default is silly.
I said "or even", if you're regularly using PGO they're irrelevant, but not everyone regularly uses PGO in a way that covers all their workloads.

The hinting attributes are exceptional for lone conditionals (not if/else trees) without obvious context to the compiler if it will frequently follow or skip the branch. Compilers are frequently conservative with such things and keep the code in the hot path.

The [[likely]] attribute then doesn't matter so much, but [[unlikely]] is absolutely respected and gets the code out of the hot path, especially with inlined into a large section. Godbolt is useful to verify this but obviously there's no substitute for benchmarking the performance impact.

Kinda. They basically say "Perl is such a bad language that I bet if I inverted every thing on it I'll make a great language".

So, not completely serious, but not just a joke either. Python isn't exactly a "reverse Perl" but it's close to it, and it's a really good language.
I received the same thing. What they don’t say is if your routing/account number used in transfers to/from your Wise account has been leaked. Same for any KYC info that the bank might need, such as name or SSN.
Yep - cells would die. ...UNTIL they accrue enough dna damage to accidentally either:

- create a new way to generate thymidine

- fall into a proliferation strategy that no longer needs thymidine

Human cells did the same thing and created checkpoints to preclude malignant growth. There are a number of checkpoints already employed in your own bodies. But if you accrue enough DNA damage, you can get around each of those checkpoints (and get cancer):

- IF too much DNA damage, then die

- IF divided too many times, then die

- IF committed to die, actually die

But if a cell collects enough damage, it can get around ALL of the checkpoints. And evolution has shown us that there is no perfect watcher of the watchmen. Still pretty cool to create a new checkpoint this way.

This sounds logical, yet I have never seen that in my own code, the code of colleagues at work or other code. If the documentation is not somehow automatically tested against changes in the code, the documentation in the same file is almost always worse (as in "more wrong") than adding the changes in another document. I don't know why it's easier to remember or for others to check for updates in "special" files.
I'm more amazed by all the space startups in Germany, like RFA, Isar Aerospace, and HyImpulse - especially as they all have very different rocket designs (cheap/steel vs. highly engineered/carbon vs. hybrid rocket engines).
I have the same Meeus book. It's been a while since I read it, but my impression was the signs of longitudes being turned around was not unique to his book, but was rather a convention throughout astronomy, so you could expect to find whatever other books you're recommended would have the same convention.

When I was contemplating my own implementation from that book my sketchy API design just included a mandatory extra parameter to accompany such numbers, which would explicitly indicate whether the astronomical or other sign convention was to be used.

The author discusses this in footnote 3: https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/ranking-fields-by-p-value-suspici...

> Alternative explanation I: Nonsignificant results may not be reported at all and thus they won’t appear in the dataset.
> This cannot explain the results. Remember that when results should be significant because you have adequate power to detect a real effect, only a small percentage of p-values will be in the 0.05 to 0.01 range. People should be reporting p-values that are much lower for typical significant effects, but they aren’t: they're reporting suspicious effects. Publication bias is usually a bias towards significance not a bias towards a p-value between 0.05 and 0.01. People adjust their marginal estimates of interest to get at least below 0.05 but they don’t take their extremely significant estimates and adjust them so they’re in the suspicious range.

I don't think so.

Ignoring the fact that what you're describing sounds suspiciously like a Maxwell's demon, I think the equilibrium would be at a higher pressure because helium escaping against an overall pressure gradient would be doing work.

In essence, at the boundary I think the rate at which helium escapes would not simply be proportional to the gradient created by the internal pressure and the exterior partial pressure, but I think would include a term involving the whole exterior pressure.
Oh wow.

You can simply host them free of charge for a couple of days until the psychiatric evaluation. In fact, we already do this, in a holding cell, and involuntarily, or in a hospital, voluntarily.

There is a very silly attitude towards progressive solutions to social problems where people act as if there are unsolved problems where there are none, and then exaggerate them to silly proportions : this is a prime example. In this case, there aren't. Scott Alexander's article is about involuntary commitment, and we are talking about voluntary institutionalization here, where the institute is specifically designed for people who aren't a threat to themselves or society (yet), as an implementation of a housing first strategy.

Voluntary institutionalization has existed for a hundred years now. It exists. It works. There is no point arguing it couldn't work, it's already here. Everything has already been figured out about the intake process and logistics. The only difference is the institution itself, and there isn't really any argument that we have something better than a housing first solution with psychiatric support, which is the subtextual conclusion of the linked article to begin with.
The company is bankrupt and was mismanged (otherwise, there would have been backups of this critical data).

The bankruptcy trustee's job is to ensure every creditor is treated fairly, recover as many assets as possible, and that creditors and then owners are rightfully paid.

We'll see what a court has to say about MongoDB demanding $140k to keep the data around a few extra months. Bankruptcy courts can and do issue stays for things like leases all the time; this is effectively a lease, and I would not be surprised to see it treated as such.

Realistically, the company can owe MongoDB an extra $140k, and then they can become a creditor and get in line with everyone else if they want their money so badly. (Somehow I doubt they are incurring $140k in expenses to store Synapse's data.)
Any time things like this are needed, I think it should ask the user for permission first.

I agree that it makes sense for the EU to have it's own rocket and rocket talent, but the crazy part is the Ariane 6 was obsolete before it hit the design table.

Clearly SpaceX have upturned the industry, but to still be so blind to the fact reuse is the future is wilful ignorance.

I'm happy the government funds projects to keep expertise and local know-how, but it would be better if they weren't spending billions to be a decade (or two) obsolete.
We have also received strong pull from large banks and the financial industry. So they are definitely looking for a solution like this now!
They haven't raised much funding yet:

Although Diameter was intended to replace RADIUS, the
protocol itself offers no security when used over TCP. As a
result, RFC 6733 suggests that Diameter messages should
be secured using TLS or DTLS; 5G has replaced Diameter
with signaling over HTTP/2 [30].

Edit: here's ref [30]:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/radext/Zcuud3GyG221DXn...

"5G completely replaced DIAMETER with signaling over HTTP/2. DIAMETER is only used in legacy systems that has not yet been updated. Early 5G can be deployed as Non-standalone (NSA) or standalone (SA). NSA means a 4G core with 5G radio while SA means both 5G core and 5G radio. NSA has a lot of severe limitations. Many networks are already SA and the rest are working on rolling out SA."

It's kind of ironic that there isn't a decent business model for folks who build tools that uplift the productivity of MILLIONS of devs.

I'll just say that even though Linux is FOSS, RedHat still became a multi-million dollar company.

Likewise Travis Oliphant was able to build things like Anaconda and Quantsight to monetize some of these essential open source tools.

With wide enough adoption, almost anything can be monetized at some level.

Destruction? My wife crushed hers onto her finger in a cycle crash. It was across the park from our house. Her finger swelled terribly. I put her in the car and drove her to the fire station just down the road where they cut it off. I learned there was a special tool for this! I sent the cut ring to a jeweller friend of a friend... who melted it down and cast it into a slightly smaller ring! Edit: in another post there isa video where someone solders up a cut ring. My wife's ring was much more damaged by the crash than the rings in the video, hence the melt

Why bother with all that nonsense when the sitting president could just order all their executive agencies to change the rules or stop enforcing them entirely. The argument for the most recent decision is deferring to the enforcers about the extent of their powers is a bad move to when those powers are being challenged. We’re in a lot of the messes we’re in because a lot of our federal regulations aren’t laws, they are the whims of the president and their regulatory body heads, and are subject to change at any time with the stroke of a single pen.

For example, net neutrality was a thing, and then it wasn’t, and now it might be again, all in the span of about a decade and all because different presidents and FCC chairs had different opinions about the extent (and intent) of the powers of the FCC.

Or consider marijuana, still a schedule I drug per the DEA, yet by presidential decree, the DEA isn’t supposed to be spending effort enforcing that. Until I guess a new “tough on drugs” president comes into office. Or maybe until it’s politically expedient to enforce that law against some distributor. Maybe some grower in California or Colorado where it’s legal at the state level has done something to draw the ire of the president. Gosh wouldn’t you know it, the DEA decided it has some time to start enforcing those laws after all.

This always happens because mathematicians and computer scientists use shorthand descriptions that elide the details for ease of conversation. It's no different than saying that you're "multiplying by dx on both sides". "Is the traveling salesman problem NP-hard?" is talking about family of problems, not specifically an instance of it. If you fix the specific graph, then obviously it's not NP-hard since there's no N.

It's so trivially obvious when you know this that it isn't worth talking about. It is also completely unreachable for many people who don't know what these terms mean.

I have, in the past, had a misconception of this shape in a different field. In my case, it was my belief in DNA as code that is executed by things that message-pass between each other sometimes directly through the substrate and sometimes by modifying the DNA. Overall, this isn't a useless model but I needed to know when to not get addicted to it.

To biologists with mathematical backgrounds, it's obviously wrong to just take the TM execution of DNA as a model. To me, it was less so.

So it's just unfamiliarity with the basics.

I agree; there is absolutely selective and biased placement in many municipalities. That's another good reason to put red-light cameras on every light, and to turn traffic violations into a sliding scale based on income, car value, and other factors (like the car's weight, as a good proxy for the damage it can do to pedestrians or other drivers).

> FYI this is the predecessor to a reusable rocket

Not much of a predecessor, no.

When they started designing it, there was no interest in producing a reusable rocket, as it was not clear if it could be done in a cost-efficient manner, and the development uncertainty was too high. Hindsight is 20/20.

Of course, they might iterate and re-use some technology from Ariane 6 for a re-usable future launcher, as they leveraged technology from Ariane 5 and Vega for this launcher.

The name hangout_services suggests this is some old tech debty hack intended to make developing Google Hangouts easier by giving that team a direct stream of telemetry. For those who have forgotten, Hangouts was the first app that did video calling in the browser using what became WebRTC. If you look at what this module is doing it's exposing stuff like CPU/GPU/RAM usage/hardware details back to the app that it wouldn't normally have.

My guess is that Google will react to this Twitter thread by simply deleting it. Hangouts has been a dead product for a while; if their server side code still uses it they can surely remove it as presumably the Chrome team monitor WebRTC performance themselves in a multi-site way now, given the much wider usage.

Patent term is 20 years from the date of filing, and doesn't begin to run until the patent issues, which is usually years after it was filed. It's incomprehensible to me how you can seriously argue that the US patent term is too long but then should be replaced with a system that allows for an indefinite term.

Do you know what a trade secret is? Trade secret already has an indefinite term. There's no reason why patent terms should be indefinite, it's antagonistic the concept of disclosure that is required to obtain a patent in the first place.

In around 8 years of web development, mostly focused on consulting and focusing on ecommerce, I've never seen a net gain from using analytics on a site. If the end goal is to produce data for the sake of data, well sure that will work. Rarely does anyone analyze the data though, and I've never seen anyone dig into the validity of the data and ensure that Google Analytics is in fact accurate and reliable for them.

One of the most disappointing client experiences I had was after building a custom shop for a company that was heavily focused on graphic art. We optimized the hell out of their site, getting performance scores of 97+ when every page was image heavy and included a product grid designed for a masonry grid look similar to Pinterest.

A few days before launch they asked us to add their Google Pixel script. The next day they had included 7 or 8 different third party scripts and blown performance scores into the mid 50s. Its their site and they can do what they want with it, but I sure could have saved a lot of dev time if performance didn't matter at all.

Helium drives are basically standard for enterprise hard drives now. The reduced drag force allows for using thinner drive platters (helium drives can hold up to 10 platters, while air-filled drives can only hold up to 6 platters) which boosts capacity. Helium drives also use less power, run cooler, and the helium gas helps to absorb vibrations that can cause wear and tear (useful in enterprise settings where you have 45 or more drives in a 4U chassis).
