Remembering the 1980s, Eastern Bloc consumer-grade batteries were bad enough to destroy appliances. Soviet batteries in particular; it was a known rule that if you can find a GDR or Czechoslovak-made battery for your radio etc., you just don't risk a "Sdelano v CCCP" one.

If Soviet space engineering suffered from the same problem, which is likely (already Korolev fought a massive and angry battle against badly manufactured satellite parts), there is quite a lot of batteries aging dangerously up there.
I'm not missing the point. I'm asserting that if locals want to ban short term rentals, they can, and there is nothing anyone outside of the jurisdiction can do about it. Arguing over whether the bans move the needle is immaterial, although you are free to complain about it, as it is the only recourse available.
I thought identity is who a person is, while personality is what a person is like.
The main problem with these kind of tools is that they sit in a "dead zone" of being too in depth for non-technicals, yet too limiting and inefficient for engineers to bother with, as they end up injecting a huge bundle on the page just to render a form. How are you solving for that?
My group invented GPS.
A 4090 can do tens of GH/s on SHA256D (BTC) for a substantial capital investment and 300W - other GPUs substantially less.

A $10 ASIC can do >500 GH/s for 5W.

If you possess these GPUs, at any energy price it becomes orders of magnitude more cost-effective to mine something else, rent for LLM uses, etc. and then just buy Bitcoin.
If its not a sustainable, profitable business why should a bank invest in it? Banks aren't meant to promote the moral or ethical good. They exist to take money from depositors, replace it with IOUs, and invest the money in ways that are the most likely to be paid back with interest.

That's obviously not to say we can only have industries that work as an open market, but I'd argue that if they don't then the government might as well run the industry rather than fund these half-in half-out companies that appear to be private corporations but only actually exist because the government blessed them.
What? You should be exposing your data access layer as a microservice and all your db level validations should be done there...

You can even write a small DSL syntax language to make it easier to use for developers, and perhaps an Obviously Reduntant Middleware that sits between them to convert their programming language objects to the DSL. Add some batch support, perhaps transactional locks (using mongo, we want to be webscale after all) and perhaps a small terminal based client and voila, no one should ever need to deal with petty integrity in the db again.

And it has achieved that with X11.
This seems neat in a couple of ways. It’s a lot like fuzzing or property-based testing, but those approaches usually target crashes or try to catch functional bugs. This feels like a way to do fuzzing for performance or other kinds of quality. The idea is straightforward, but it’s impressive to me that this can be practically implemented and used at the scale of real languages and compilers.

As a vaguely related similar idea, once upon a time at a hardware company we had a regression suite that failed if our chip was less performant than a competitor’s. But that test suite was largely hand crafted. The ability to generate these cases randomly is super cool.
Money Is Bullshit
Basically what you’re saying is “another person made a wrong prediction in the past, so your prediction about something entirely different is wrong too”.

People used that same quote when talking about NFTs, and VR, and 3D TVs, and literally every grift and failed “big idea” ever since.

That quote is not an argument, and using it is a tired technique. The only thing it signals is a blind belief in whatever the quoter thinks is good at the time.
Been ages for me. Only London one I attended was the perl mongers meet ups but those were drinking based.
People thought it was going to be like the AOL keywords of yore - but it was already so late in the game that nobody gives a shit, you either use google to search for bing or you just don't care.

There's probably ten or twenty domains (not counting my own or my work's) that I can type from memory, the rest I just search for.

The other killer is that "clownfarts.com" looks like a website but www.mcdonalds looks like a typo, even to non-tech people who don't understand any TLD besides the big three.
BTC ASICs only work on BTC. ETH no longer operates using proof-of-work, all of this equipment moved to other coins (many of them using the same algorithm.)
Because while snow is soft and fluffy when it first falls, after a few temperature changes and having been groomed and skied on for hours/days, it transforms from snow crystals to ice crystals. Unless new snow falls on top, that's what you're gonna be skiing on, and you'll slide all over the place without sharp edges.

Here is one of the best skiers in the world, on a race course set on a surface intentionally prepared to be solid ice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIHdHUg1FC4
Sure, even judges can be wrong. That doesn't make the decision in question wrong, though.

At the moment, it's a judge, with a written opinion that contains detailed argument, versus a random commenter on the internet who's saying "nah, he's wrong" with absolutely no argument or evidence. If you want us to believe you rather than the judge, you're going to have to do better than that.
If I understand the build process correctly... It should be on systems support WebAssemblySIMD, like Chrome's V8.

That’s still depressing, as it seems to imply you can only effect the monolith if you are an influential minority. You can’t just say ‘this policy is bad for everyone?’ You have to wield a marginalized group like a battering ram?
This sounds like that old pith : "we don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are"
I think you'd probably want to replace the board and the top management also.
Visual programming languages are not prevented from using textual symbols, though. And many people use diagrams to communicate ideas more efficiently than they could with text alone.
> Strong disagree. Let's think back 100, 200 years. A huge percentage of the population built their own shelter and grew their own food.

The same could be said of medical care. I don't see how that affects morality today.

> The idea that the government ought to be required to supply these to everyone (as a "fundamental right") is very much a late 20th century concept.

I still don't see what history has to do with anything here. Is it a "late 20th century concept"? Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't affect whether something is morally a fundamental right.

It sounds like you fit into the "different morality" bucket I mentioned above, so we should expect you to have differing opinions on what rights are fundamental (and that's okay). And if you have differing opinions on what rights are fundamental, than we should expect you to have differing opinions on what the government should do to guarantee them. Which you appear to (and that's okay).
There are different degrees of murder. First degree requires you to plan in advance kill someone (either particular person or a specific group). Second degree murder doesn't require the plan to kill, and so negligence for financial gain COULD be second degree murder depending on the details. (Boeing knew or should have known that their mistakes could lead to death and so mitigated this)

Note that US states are not consistent on what is second degree murder. I cannot find a federal definition (I'm not a lawyer - this should be seen as me not knowing the right search terms). There are many other countries with their own definitions of murder which are all slightly different.
The difference is what I attempt to describe at the end there.

Humans apply fixed strict rules about how to break up problems, like multiplication.

LLMs simply guess. That's a powerful trick to get some more capability for simple problems, but it just doesn't scale to more complex ones.

(Which in turn is a problem because most tasks in the real world are more complex than they seem, and simple problems are easily automated through conventional means)
I'm not sure that would work well - if you're only recording a single wavelength, then the resulting black and white image wouldn't resemble a normal one, where all wavelengths are added to obtain a pixel intensity.
Part of being a luddite who doesn't discard perfectly good tech when newer and shinier gadgets come out is that I get surprised hearing about negative trends like this.

Really, the power button doesn't work any more?
But it's such a strange angle. Should we stop companies having bank accounts in order to do that? Who cares if they have a bank account?
Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse. You are expected to know all the laws that apply to you.
You don't have to make them look like an idiot. It's simply a matter of asking why they believe what they do. Maybe they ha r some kind of personal experience or education you're not aware of.
The Road Ahead Rock Solid? Reasons to Doubt the Soft Landing
> But who takes the trashes out, who fixes the sink, who drills holes, who paints, who does electrical job in the house? Who takes care of the cars' tires? Of the bicycles maintenance? And who finds a solution to every single f-cking computer issue in the house?

My wife, mainly. I have no idea how cars work. She can’t seem to stop working on her motorcycle whenever she needs to clear her head.

I think you took your family’s personal experience and ran really, really far with it.

Also when I interviewed with Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, they did indeed have women going into the poop cisterns to actuate valves and swap out instrumentation. One of those women walked me through the experience and expectations. It involved walking/“swimming” through a million gallons of poop. She wanted to make sure I could also handle that.

On a personal note, if the resentment is getting to be a lot to handle, you may benefit from either adjustments in expectations or from finding grace in the way you experience your emotions. You mentioned you may be right wing, so it’s not a stretch to think that you may be a man of God. Religion should help you reach that state of grace. If your church is not focused on helping you find Grace perhaps there is a better one for you.
Any good guides for this?
There’s a lot of negated negatives in that sentence.

One might say parsing it is a good example of logical inference which is what I think most people mean when they say “reasoning”.

I shit you not, the reason I have heard that they are more "accessible" is because the words that get shortened are hard to spell.

I assume the real reason is because each of these indecipherable glyphs is a s8h* to identify the "cool" and "woke" (not in the US politics sense but in a more general sense of the word) crowd from the rest.

Most LLMs struggle to even do a null check. Could this check for those kinds of glaring security holes?
Yeah, that's not going to happen. Lawyers aren't going to have solidarity with workers.

What's a lawyer's goal? To make partner. That's not the kind of goal that moves you toward solidarity with the masses.
> Is there a good reason to force the same visual representation on everyone?

Leaky abstractions. If there are two different visual representations then sometimes someone using one representation will need to think about the other.
> Luckily, fixing this kind of damage isn’t hard. I use a 3D printed jig with a 500 grit diamond stone. A couple of glides down the edge is enough to completely clear this up.

I don't ski often enough to own my own skis, so I rent them. Having used those rentals in icy conditions, I've had a lousy time due to their shoddy edges. A tool like this would make my day(s) on the slopes so much better. Anybody know of a place I could buy something like this, so that I could bring the rentals into "serviceable" condition?

Why? A lot of manufacturers have figured this out, the technology is called a dehumidifier.

The main problem with a statement like that is that "interesting" is extremely subjective. Personally, I often find math and CS to be more interesting when it's further from reality. To each his own, I suppose.
I do design work, in addition to building stuff. I need to see colors "as-is" (to the degree that's ever a thing) fairly often. 5/100 brightness wouldn't be great, and even syntax-highlighting gets murky at low brightness, I'm guessing?
Please don't be condescending.

Windows and Linux users have had to put up with decades of tedious lectures and cheerleading from Apple fans who think their tool is faster/better/sexier than everyone else's, never mind the fact that their UNIX-based OS still doesn't ship in a usable configuration for keyboard-centric users.

Like most developers, I have been forced to use a Mac at work in several jobs, and each time I've faffed about with dozens of "productivity" tools that claim to solve the user interface limitations of the base OS - all of which felt about as rewarding as spending months tweaking custom vim configs - instead of just getting on with the actual job I was paid to do.

If you primarily use a keyboard, but you also need a GUI, Windows just works out of the box. It's not cool, it's not stylish, but it does the job. I have nothing against Mac users who enjoy customizing their systems, but please understand that many Windows power users have been there, done that, and decided that what we get out of the box is good enough for the vast majority of work we need to do on a daily basis.

For me it's not really worth my time to customize a system just to save a few hundred milliseconds in the unusual situation where I am running a completely different suite of applications every day, and I always have more than ten of them open, and I can't use my left hand for some reason, and I want to deep link a scripted shortcut into an app instead of just switching to that app and using a standard shortcut, or whatever. In my job, at least, I spend far longer reading code and thinking about the problem than trying to open a terminal, switch apps or send an email.

Quite the opposite, since they have bank accounts, let's:

- Make them more liable.

- Make the people behind them more liable.

- Give companies limitations. What would be the equivalent of jail for a company ? Unable to sale for x years ? How long a company should be able to exist ?

Right now there is way too much power and shielding at the same time.
And if GTLDs had become the AOL keyword of the 2010s they would have really been pissed if they missed out.

Ontology of the Free Energy Principle and the Philosophy of Machine Learning
I can tell you are very proud of your U12 boy and from that video, you should be. His fundamentals are rock solid. His fore-aft is good, his timing is excellent, he's clearly prepared for the course well in inspection. He's generally not reaching to cross-block, as evidenced by the strategic inside-clear at the top of the pitch. Really, really strong.

I think the future is in mixed modal computing environments. Text is superior in some architectural paradigms and inferior in others.

Box and noodles can be more descriptive and interactive for some parts of a system but probably not for all parts of a system. Configurations for parts of applications can be better in a GUI than a yaml file. Embedding one language like SQL in another could have an integrated GUI subeditor complete with language server.
So .works ... doesn't?

If I were a GTLD registrar I'd make it so that (for example) all .works domains were also aliased by .worksdomain.com or something similar as a backup.

There's no "detailed argument" in that quote, just the same assertion repeated three times. It's pure argument from authority.

It may even be accurate legally (depending as always on which judge(s) issue the ruling), but it has no value morally or rationally.

> a judge...versus a random commenter

Just argument from authority again.

> If you want us to believe you rather than the judge, you're going to have to do better than that.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything except that Dracophoenix's argument from authority is unconvincing.

Would anyone disagree that the status quo in America is that the law favors the rich? People arguing that this is wrong/immoral/graft aren't disputing whether it is currently legal, but whether it should be.

You say this like it's crazy, but we literally already do this with Doctors and Surgeons, it's not as tricky as you make it sound.

There's no valid reason that CEO/C-Suite folks get to forever escape any responsibility and accountability.
I tend to prefer the former, but it suffers from the indentation being way to large if the method name is really long.

That being said, there are other cases where I want to align things and "a specific size indent" doesn't work

There's lots of places where "alignment" makes sense.

> If nothing else, it causes diff pollution when the length of a line changes and you have to add or delete spaces to adjacent lines to keep things even, even though no semantic change to those lines has occurred.

While I agree with this in general, I find making the code nicer to read to be more important that avoiding diff pollution. Especially when that diff pollution can be avoided with a simple "ignore whitespace" in most cases.
Perhaps a minority opinion, but i LOVE writing tests. I write them before I write the code, it is like playing chess with yourself.

Between phone, powerbank, headset and cameras I put so much stuff out of the luggage through security[1] that I don't think adding or not a laptop/tablet matters that much.

Also unless you carry 5 meters usb and hdmi cords I don't think that use case is so universal. Power outlets are usually so badly located in hotels.

[1] basically I empty the handbag of everything that is not spare clothes. It is just easier to throw everything on that plastic tray than filtering what needs to be shown or not.
> Great risk should come with great reward.

In today's culture, I often hear C-suiters talking about how much "risk" they are taking, to justify their outrageous salaries and stock holdings, but I almost never see them pay much, in the way of penalties, except for the very smallest, most "raw" companies, where they have, literally, sunk their entire net worth into the endeavor.

It seems that, once a company has reached a certain threshold, the only real "risk" that executives experience, is that they'll only get a 5% bonus, instead of 30%. So, only $5M, as opposed to $30M.
