It's easier on fat skis which haven't been waxed in a long time. They aren't as fast so I rarely have to really put them on the edge on ice. I do a slide turn while keeping as much contact with the surface as I can.

That's also the biggest downside, you can't really rip it with fat skis. Not even if you go down dead straight.
Yes, but you would have it for each time you opened a new workspace.

The only point of this would be if you didn't want to download the language server for untrusted code.

Apparently Figma still uses it for plugins, so there's that.

It can be compiled to WebAssembly and run with the sandboxing of WebAssembly. Not just data sandboxing but sandboxing that can prevent it from slowing down the rest of the app (though it runs slower).

Post from Figma in 2019: https://www.figma.com/es-la/blog/an-update-on-plugin-securit...

This in 2023: "Either Figma hasn't updated QuickJS since, or they've moved to a different VM, because Figma's VM is missing many of the features QuickJS now supports." https://www.sam.today/blog/bumbling-the-figma-api

Those people will lose out, competitively. There will be a large period of churn.
Sorry, economics don't work that way. If you build more houses, and build them more densely, it increases the supply. If corporations buy them up, they're still competing with each other and won't be able to raise the prices too much. They're only able to keep raising prices because supply is limited, so stop limiting supply.

You don't need to ban housing investment. We don't have any such laws here in Japan. The only reason they're able to treat housing as an investment in other places is because of a lack of supply. Here, there's lots of supply, because the laws don't forbid development the way they do everywhere else. There, housing values increase over time because of the shortage. Here, housing values decrease over time: buying a house is never a lucrative investment, just a way to avoid rent increases (or having to move), to have control over your own home, because you think the land might increase in value (maybe they're going to build a new subway station nearby in 10 years), etc.
All good, I didn't type it correctly initially. A lot of coaches in the past have been critical of those angles he's been on so I was probably anticipating it lol. Most kids that age are likely 0.75 and two degrees for Sl. And yeah older Fis kids are maybe trying zero base and perhaps 4 degrees on water injected surfaces.

I have suffered migraines for a long time before I knew what migraines were and also a long time after. I was ignorant. But over the years I learned about my triggers. Some may find this helpful so posting them here. Your specific triggers may vary. The ones I have learned over the years are Refined Sugar, Electrolyte Imbalance, Stress, Sleep debt, Acid Reflux, Excessive Hunger, Dehydration (even mild), Excessive Heat, Sun Exposure. This list is not exhaustive but it can help identify triggers that usually go unnoticed for years.
Not sure if it was always like that, the C/C++ extension used to download the language server and some tools during startup as well. They now bundle it with the extension, which is a lot better especially in an offline environment.
WHat do I think? I think you must not have much experience using AI, because if you had you would not consider this.

AI tech support, AI summarizers, try them! Are you actually impressed with them? Be honest. I find them infuriating, stupid, and pointless. You can't trust what they say.

You know how people feel about used car salesmen? They also feel that way about AI sales reps.

I'd like you to sit next to me the next time I try to coax actual details and puzzle through contradicting statements from a tech support bot. I will periodically turn to you with a pleading look on my face, as if to say "Did you see that? And you think that's okay?" and then I will open my mouth and say the same words that my face shouted.

Undortunately, it's getting to the point that the moment I suspect I'm dealing with AI I am out.

You should pre-record your demos and provide documentation and contact info. Absolutely nobody is impressed by your fucking bot.

There are several other advantages with subscribe & save:
1. You get a 15% discount.
2. Everything arrives in one shipment, with multiple items in the same box, saving on packaging.
3. It saves time to have the products you use regularly pre-loaded into the Amazon order (I can't think of an alternative way to do a "one click purchase" of multiple items, and its easier to remove items from a pre-filled order than to have to search for them and add them).
4. As mentioned elsewhere, Amazon seems to try to make sure there is stock available for subscribe & save customers, reserving stock even if it's showing as sold out on the product page.
There's no single one stop comment for the entire planet.

My experience of Japan was that older people stay active longer .. and people like to have purpose and part of that can include looking after each other as people grow old and diminish in function at differing rates.

My experience of parts of some countries such as the UK and the US is that people get fat and relatively inactive some what sooner than I'm used to seeing in here in Australia and elsewhere (Vietnam, Nigeria, etc).

My father had a farming life early on, he's returned to a farm adjacent life in his early 80s, otherwise he's worked largely around minesites as a worker, foreman, manager but has stayed active walking about plants and constantly improving land they've owned by building walls, shovelling tonnes of literal shit for the garden, etc.

Even if that were true (and ignoring the fact that they aren't alternatives to each other, like other comments point out)

If you're on a distro with iwd you might still want a TUI without having NetworkManager installed. A tool doesn't need to be universally needed to be useful
Hmmm how does this compare to https://www.ferretdb.com ?

How does this handle large files? Is it enough to replace GridFS? One of main attraction for MongoDb is it's handling of large files.
The xz backdoor was an example of exploiting this disconnect. It was not present in the repository, it was inserted only into the release artifacts. Anyone getting xz by checking out the repository and building it themselves, would not be affected by it.

The "public" social media, aka main feeds, have turned into pure shit, as he points out in the video.

Prior to 2022 it was mostly just bots copy/pasting and commenting the same images over and over again. Did it suck? Sure, but these days it is exactly as the guy pointed out - unlimited amounts of low-effort / low-quality generated images, and tries to copy anything that's trending.

I rarely, very rarely actually browse the social media feeds - I exclusively use social media for closed groups and pages, but the few times I find myself in the feed, it is just a continuous stream of AI Jesus/soldiers/struggle/celebrity generated garbage.

Why do I even get this garbage? It has literally zero correlation with my search queries, or activity. The recommendation algorithm must be broken - or the big companies are fully embracing this garbage.

Cilantro falling out of favor from Ancient Rome is minor compared to Silphium which was an extremely popular Roman plant that went extinct, and nobody today knows what it was. Also Asafoetida, Liquamen, and Garum. Garum production was a large industry in Ancient Rome. Today, while there are some ostensibly traditional fish sauces made in parts of Italy, nobody knows for certain how Garum was made in Ancient Rome or if extant methods are related.

I hate my samsung phone with a passion i also had while hating my iphone before it.

It seems that the UI designers for these things never consider difficulty in seeing the crucial details on a small screen at high velocities with small glances.

I have had immense difficulty in answering phone calls with mysterious swipes that at least this horrid samsung willfully ignores, laughing at me in derision, no doubt.

On Windows, these tools are ‘app launchers’. They launch an instance of an app whether or not you have one already open.

On Mac, they’re ’app switchers’. They’ll launch an app, or switch to its running instance if there is one.

I dare say that this reflects the way that the Mac and Windows handle apps and processes. Either way, it makes this sort of thing singularly useless on Windows.

It might be useful to launch Outlook once, in the morning. But after that, launching more instances of Outlook is absurd. I want to switch to Outlook.

I don’t think Windows users really understand how useful these tools are as switchers; just how much faster it is to Cmd-Space, s[afari], return, and have your browser pop to the front. I should time it. If that took me more than about 100ms I’d be stunned, because I’ve done it dozens of times a day for well over a decade.

Edit: timed it. 375ms from the first sound of me pressing the space bar until Safari is on-screen. 200ms of my action, and another 175ms waiting for Safari to appear.

>I long didn't use Everything out of SSD wear concerns

How grounded in reality are your SSD wear concerns? I feel like most people are overly paranoid and have unfounded FUD about that.

I use my SSD like a loaner (constantly installing new games and downloading new linux ISOs to try out in VMs) and after 2 years of heavy use it had IIRC ~98% life remaining in SMART statistics. I bought another second hand corporate laptop used for 4 years and the SSD SMART reports a remaining life of 97%.

So unless you want to leave your SSD as inheritance to your grandkids, I don't see the point of hypermiling your SSD to increase longevity. It's a wearable part, it's gonna die eventually no matter how much you baby it, so I might as well use it to the max to get my money's worth, otherwise what's the point? It's not like it's gonna increase in value over time the less you use it like Pokémon cards.
Companies are persons, except they are not.

They cannot die. They cannot go to prison.

This concept of a moral person is a totally unfair advantage that they exploit again and again.

> I've had just a small handful of great managers and most of them worked more like "team secretaries"

What if you have really passive team members? So somebody need to digest the big project into smaller pieces and assign people to them, you can't just throw the project and expect it to go smoothly. If you don't it will take extra 2-3 months to start things up. I suspect in your case the team is motivated and experienced and/or there are some engineering leads in the team who can do that instead.
i think what that book does is create an opportunity to decide you're going to do some introspection. If that's too much hard work...so be it. It took me a solid 1.5 weeks of full time effort after work doing the exercises in this book. I honestly loved it. Its fruits are a living document, and there are so many ideas, tests and so on which i think are incredibly useful.

Right after reading it - i took the advise of calling companies out of the blue much more seriously, and the difference in conversations was encouraging.

Thanks for the reminder. The homepage is a GitHub page and does not support git lfs, so I have compressed the files as much as possible to reduce their size. We consider re-encode the mp4 files to x264, and provide a packed zip of the homepage.
I like semicolons, because it lets me use the brackets style I prefer (allman) instead of whatever the language devs think I should use. This is a really big issue for me trying to use Go, as they automatically insert a semicolon to the end of every line that doesn't end with a {, so the language forces you to use K&R, which I really dislike reading
I think this is an underappreciated perspective. The simplest model of a reasoning process, at scale, is the reasoning process itself! That said, I haven't come across any research directly testing that hypothesis with transformers. Do you know of any?

The closest I've seen is a paper on OthelloGPT using linear probes to show that it does in fact learn a predictive model of Othello board states (which can be manipulated at inference time, so it's causal on the model's behaviour).

Seems an extremely soft ball approach:

• Under the deal, Boeing agreed to pay a $243.6 million fine and for an third-party monitor to be installed to monitor the company’s compliance.

~$240M seems pretty low for an industry where billions are commonly thrown about.

• The deal spares Boeing from a trial just as the planemaker is trying to turn a corner in its safety and manufacturing crises.

Sparing them from a trial means no further discovery/uncovering of other illegal shit they've been up to meanwhile?

Getting new fuel for them doesn't make any economic sense.

Your entire argument is an emotional appeal.

Show me the numbers that show that nuclear is cheaper than renewables and I'll change my mind, but until then it doesn't make economic sense, and would only be the "ideological descision making" that you accuse the green of.

Change the system.

A blind focus on the concentration of wealth will only improve tech if it helps profit, will only improve lifes if it helps profit, will only protect the environment if it helps profit, will only influence politics to increase profits. It will try to create poverty because that eases exploitation. As you already hinted, the motivation has to change.
> The idea that connecting the world will make it a better place and undo the millennia of tribalism is a romanticized platitude of the 1990s.

This only applies in media that allows censorship, and controls visibility. If it doesn't, the bigots are easy to identify and weed themselves out. If it foes, the bigots can form bubbles, and foster tribalism.
As the title & link suggest, this project is a fork from QuickJS, a Javascript originally developed by Fabrice Bellard (https://bellard.org/quickjs/).

You only end up with condensation issues, if you cool below the dew point.

Here in very humid Singapore our dew point is typically at about 24-26C. If you set your aircon to no less than 26C here, you never have any problems with condensation.
