Not only the romanization, also the capital form in German is SS.

The ß sticks around in German because it prevents some ambiguities. For example Busse and Buße are different words with different pronunciations.

Basically German orthography backed itself into a corner because of two rules: a vowel before a doubled consonant is short, and an s before a vowel is pronounced /z/. This leaves you with no clear way to write a long vowel followed by an /s/ sound followed by a vowel: VssV would make the first vowel short, and VsV would keep the first vowel long but the consonant would be pronounced as /z/. The ß solves this problem.

I began developing some web components without delving deeply into the mechanics of Lit and Polymer, aiming to identify gaps in the standard web components API. Early on, I created several decorators and, in hindsight, they closely resemble what Lit provides. Therefore, I might concede that Lit could become a standard. However, since I haven't used it personally, I can't fully endorse it yet.

> it also really feels like you use 1000 lines of code where 10 will do.

Ok. Let's break this down.

The library currently handles support for 523 different devices from at least 40-50 manufacturers. (https://iostindex.com/?filter0Availability=Available,DIY&fil...).

These devices can connect over bluetooth le, usb (both raw and HID), serial, or one of several network protocols. We support windows, mac, linux, android, iOS, and WASM/web, each having their own HW APIs (or in the case of the mac/iOS crossover, specializations within the API). On several of these platforms there are also massive variations in bluetooth radios, which can cause a huge array of issues.

Each device may have variable actuators, or may also have sensors to take input. They may also require their own keepalives or other specializations specific to their protocol or brand to manage connections.

We then have to generalize commands to make life easier on developers. They send us those generalized commands, from whatever language they like since we abstract into an IPC system and provide a language-agnostic protocol spec, from whatever interconnect they want to use because our connector system is also violently flexible, and we have to convert them into the correct protocol and ship that over the correct bus.

So, since you're curious about why your solution for one device from one brand running through a web browser differs from my library, there you go. It's just a matter of different goals.

Now, if you can do all that in 10 lines, fantastic, I look forward to your library as competition in the future. :3

While I'm glad you've found a solution that works for your case, I can't tell you why you were seeing latency in our library that wasn't also in the browser. I'm well aware of the JS-to-IPC-to-hardware chain in the browser (I'm the ex-device interfaces lead on firefox, worked with some of the chrome engineers on the development of the hardware focused WebAPIs too) and it's even more complicated than ours.
If safety is cheap but overcoming culture is expensive, at some point it becomes misleading (wrt ethics of participants, not correct course of action) to say the problem is that management doesn't care enough to spend money on safety, even if management is the only lever we have to fix the issue.

A lot of that is simply culture moving that way. We engage locally a lot less and nationally far more. I only have one local friend and I have no reason to make any as I can trivially drive/fly to see my current friends in other cities. I bet far fewer people today know the name of their mayor than in decades past.
They have been 100% better than the 4 years previously. I make 2.7x more than I did in 2020 and my net worth has 5x'ed. I knew a lot of people in my team at Amazon that got laid off - they all landed better jobs or other jobs at Amazon.

Most importantly, I no longer have to contend with a pandemic due to a world-beating vaccine rollout championed by Joe Biden.

Also - I don't know what kind of soup you're buying, the kind I like hasn't changed price much. It's around $3.60. I'm also aware that a 10% tariff as championed by the last President will raise prices even further on things I rely on - like out of season fruits.

I live in Scandinavia. I never saw a conflict with those values. On the contrary, human rights is one of the values we have to defend.

There is also a big chunk of collectivism here. You don't only have rights, you have responsibilities too. Paying tax is one of them, and defending your country is one.

But my country had conscription up until 10-20 years ago so it is still in our DNA i guess. I myself did 15 months of (conscripted) military service. Long ago.

we should prefer market based solutions when they work, and we should work on making markets applicable to as many problems as possible, and we should definitely keep an eye on the usual regulatory capture problems (revolving door, incumbents lobbying to keep competition out, etc..)

markets work when the playing field is clear and equal. (for example global trade works if the seas are clear of pirates, and when there are mechanisms to keep rate of counterfeiting low enough to have trust between consumers and producers.)

The most recent poll this Saturday had Trump up 7 points in Michigan. It's basically impossible for Biden to win in that scenario.

I think they were well on their way to losing and so they hit the panic button with good reason, if anything this will now introduce some uncertainty which improves their chances.

The Archaeology of Biology and Software
I agree that the late arrival of a serious Free and Open Source Ada compiler did tremendous damage to Ada's adoption. I still think it reflects poorly on the software development community that Ada has been almost completely ignored despite that obstacle having been resolved decades ago.

> The teams didn't know they were in competition with one another, but the much less experienced C team completed their solution so much faster than the Ada team, that they just dropped the Ada effort

I realise you've given an abbreviated account, but it implies that:

1. No regard was paid to the relative quality of the 2 solutions

2. They ignored that initial development effort tends to be outweighed by ongoing development and maintenance

3. Many programmers are already familiar with C but not with Ada
This friction is often invisible. This cost is not measurable. Hard work needs to go into measuring developer productivity, helping business people understand, and then make that number go up. The second part is perhaps the hardest as if you don’t do that you might not be employed long enough to do number 3.
Oh lord do I have some stories there. Way back in the nascent Quantified Self days, I ran http://openyou.org, which was basically "Buttplug for consumer health devices" (I mean I guess Buttplug is Buttplug for a specific type of consumer health device but, well, you get the idea).

There's a god damned heart rate profile standard in the bluetooth spec AND YET I'm not sure I ever actually worked on a device that used it. :|
But when you're (basically) one person designing both the filesystem and all the APIs together, and the idea of crossplatform compatibility hasn't really been invented yet, I can see how it looks like something that belongs in the filesystem layer rathr than as a convention above it. I don't know how it works on Windows, but when you say "section" of the binary, that implies the files have some sort of structure? Is it part of the PE format or how does it work? With the resource manager, any file can have resources, which means some file formats can be implemented using very simple OS APIs.

It's neat as hell.
I might be incorrect, but I don't believe that most compiler optimizations have formal proofs written out before implementation. Does Pypy do this?

> reach for a parser generator framework and fuzz your program

I agree to the second but disagree on the first. Parser generator frameworks produce a lot of code that is hard to read and understand and they don't necessarily do a better job of error handling than you would. A hand-written recursive descent parser will usually be more legible, will clearly line up with the grammar that you're supposed to be parsing, and will be easier to add better error handling to.

Once you're aware of the risks of a bad parser you're halfway there. Write a parser with proper parsing theory in mind and in a language that forces you to handle all cases. Then fuzz the program, turn bad inputs that turn up into permanent regression tests, and write your own tests with your knowledge of the inner workings of your parser in mind.

This isn't like rolling your own crypto because the alternative isn't a battle-tested open source library, it's a framework that generates a brand new library that only you will use and maintain. If you're going to end up with a bespoke library anyway, you ought to understand it well.
This is ironic. Do Atlassian know that they are the cause of the disconnect?

To do it they assign the host a subdomain under .ts.net. But your private host isn't exposed to the public internet, I assume they just have a dummy host there to respond to the ACME challenge from Let's Encrypt. When you have the Tailscale VPN installed, I assume it overrides the DNS for ___.ts.net to point to the private IP of your local host.

It seems the focus of Tesla has mostly shifted to operating robotaxis.

What is everybody's guess when they will have the first robotaxi on the road somewhere, offering rides without a safety driver? Could be interesting to look back in the future and see how close or how far off we have been with our guesses.

My feeling is that it will happen in about 2.5 years. Could be next year, could be in 5 years. So if I had to guess, I'd say in 2.5 years.
LLMs aren't trained solely on natural language. They also ingest formal notation from every domain and at every level (from preschool to PhD); they see code and markup in every language even remotely popular. They see various encodings, binary dumps, and nowadays also diagrams. The training data has all that's needed to teach them great many formal languages and how to use them.

Don't mean to seem pushy, I just noticed in myself that I tend to call things clickbait when I had in mind a stronger claim the article doesn't make, and then the article doesn't say it. But really, that's all on me, unless there's dishonesty in the headline.

Why does the US in specific have such drawn-out campaigns? Earlier this week, I saw a pundit commenting that 4 months before the election is too short notice to pick a new candidate. But there's countries in Europe that announce elections, pick candidates, do the campaigns, go to the pools, do the counts, and have the electees take office, all in less than 4 months (see e.g. Great Britain recently).

Well. Yeah. They thought Covid was funny while blue states were disproportionately impacted early on.

Then blue states took action while red one did not. Red states all of a sudden dominated per capita impact. Only when their voters were dropping like flies did they suddenly about face. Except that they already latched on to conspiracy theory so swinging the base was difficult. There are still people (op) who lie and state that lockdown did nothing, even after their god emperor did a 180. This is why latching on to fake news and conspiracy to rile people up is dangerous.
