Let me try to make it extremely simple so that maybe you might understand something.

Say I am running a shop, the EU tells me that under no circumstance can I not allow a product to be sold in my shop, even if that product is a ticking time bomb that can blow up the shop. And so hearing this, I create a document “Good approaches to sell time bombs”, and I mention helpful stuff like ensure the timer in your bomb is switched off when it is in shop. I also create an industry wide forum with all time bomb manufacturers and discuss best practices and time bomb methods with them to best sell it in the shop etc.

In spite of all this, there exists an idiot timebomb manufacturer who ignores all best practices, does not consider industry and builds a shitty time bomb that blows up the shop.

Now please educate me, apart from doing the only surefire thing and banning shitty time bomb manufacturers from selling in their shop, what should MS do?
Now account for Unicode characters (ie, Â -> â) and I’ll be impressed.

Shame most programmers only care about ASCII. There is a whole world that exists outside of the standard [a-z,A-Z,0-9] character set
I have a copy of an old humorous computer article in a book to the effect of things that people thought they'd want computers for and how they didn't really play out (given the tech at the time).
One company I worked for introduced a trivial ($100 or something) gift card bonus for closing a certain number of bug tickets.

The number of people who started pushing code with subtle bugs so they could create a ticket for it, fix their own bug, and get closer to that $100 gift card was shocking to me.

I can’t imagine the chaos that would occur if something came with a $10K bonus attached. Some people will bend over backward to get even tiny rewards. Dangling a $10K reward would get the wheels turning in their heads immediately.

I'm less interested in nit picking specifics of what someone did & bad mouthing their efforts as irrelevant. Like, yeah, fine, this isn't for everyone (but I think it would be very interesting for me if it was also a phone too).

Right now almost no one has the option to build what works for them. The phone is incredibly burdensome environment with tons of top down control that constantly bounds what we might do, and requires its own special libraries & tools to get started on.

The story here is humble & simple. But it's doing for oneself, using sensible straightforward & common computing options adapted from the rest of the computing world. It's a tale of what Barefoot Developers could be doing on mobile, about one of many worlds that could be springing up, if we weren't encumbered with such stodgy narrow controlling limited platforms. https://maggieappleton.com/home-cooked-software
No you can’t roll back bad driver updates in any OS, if you could then by definition they do not sit in the kernel space. You just want the security code to not run in kernel space, which is a decision MS could maybe make and become like Apple, though most security software would in that case rebel.
Back in the last century I worked for a company called MountainGate, where all the machines were predictably named after mountains. This suited my backpacking self well, and I continued the tradition with my own hardware after leaving: Dana, Tresidder, Hoffman, Lyell...

Anarchist writers are my present theme: Goldman, Proudhon, Bookchin, Kropotkin... perhaps Graeber will be next.
It's actually less of a difference, I think. Systolic hovers around 110-115 and diastolic is anywhere from 80-90.
Some companies do on-call bonuses, overtime pay for on-call incidents, or other schemes.

In my experience, it’s not a net win. They’ve budgeted the same amount for compensation either way, so you’re probably getting lower base comp if they’re allocating some of it for on-call.

It also creates an atmosphere where on-call becomes more normalized, because you’re getting paid extra to do it. Some people, usually young single people, will try to milk the overtime for as much as they can, dragging out the hours spent doing on-call work because every extra hour spent on the problem makes their paycheck bigger.
Apparently that wasn't (entirely) CrowdStrike's fault: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41030352

Whereas this Windows outage rather obviously was.

eBPF being able to crash the kernel is usually sign of a kernel bug. And it sounds like in this case it was even a bug specific to Red Hat kernels, introduced by a Red Hat patch.

That said, even if they are triggering a Red Hat kernel bug, CrowdStrike should be testing their software adequately enough to pick up that issue before customers do – and it sounds like they haven't been

> They used the following techniques to establish a causal relationship between union density and income inequality.

I don't think those techniques establish causal relationships. Which of these techniques do you think establishes a causal relationship? I can tell you right from the start that "time series regressions" don't establish a causal relationship. The paper established a very strong statistical relationship.

Which is all very well but if you look in the paper [0] at Fig I you can see a very strong statistical relationship without any need for statistical methods. It leaps out of the graph at you. There was a pre-WWII period, the WWII-through-to-US-mini-peak-oil in the 70s and then the post-peak [1] regime (speaking loosely since shale oil has indeed been a miracle over the last decade - but it isn't the wealth engine that oil was back post WWII). There are a lot of interesting statistical correlations at around the same time.

That is far too much background noise to claim that unions are the causal element. Geopolitics and cheap energy was more likely to causal.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is pretty good at working with small/isolated pieces of code (think single file). But it's not fast. I did manage to get it to make a full feature by itself, but it took an entire evening of copy pasting code/error messages. The final code quality was pretty good.

Most of the time I just use it for getting started on features, small function, and debugging.
Yeah, the Italian highways were a high engineering project. Even the asphalt quality that still used today has the ability to absorb water pretty quickly and don’t leave dangerous patches of water on the road with heavy rains.

The problem is that all the highway projects, despite being government financed, are now mostly in the hand of large private companies and rich families (Benetton) which made the price usage skyrocket. Traveling by car in Italy is now expensive for residents, and the alternative roads are slow and dangerous.
In Switzerland the annual highway subscription is ~€40

You can find much of the same analysis from various institutions in the US who have come to the same conclusions.

I’m going to learn COBOL and throw out this pesky modern clutter filling my attic.
I will say two things:

1) Most people charged with a crime these day are usually guilty of it. The public has made it pretty clear they would rather see no one charged if the crime is a legit whodunit -- no one desires to see innocent people arrested and charged just to give the impression of safety. Prosecutors, and downwards (police) feel pressure to only file and prosecute cases that are legitimately believed to be of truth regarding the suspect. That said, you are innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is on the state. Even if we can mostly feel that you did it, if it can not be put before a jury to return a guilty verdict, you are not to face penalty in our society (mostly; ignore OJ's civil case... that's a pretty rare exception to be honest).

2) I understand why judges seem automatic -- but remember this: in a criminal trial (minus your option to do a bench trial), you are found guilty or not-guilty by a jury of your (location) peers. The judge has his own opinion, but he is restricted based on the guilty/not-guilty finding of the jury, and sometimes state/federal sentencing guidelines. Of course there are prick judges who SENTENCEMAXXXX people just to be an asshole - no one with an ounce of common sense will endorse that. In general, I trust and expect judges to apply their experience of both law and life in determining what is the appropriate penalty after someone is found guilty.
Yeah certainly.
First time I’ve seen such a hand-wringing and apologetic attempt to celebrate Vannevar Bush. Despite openly observing the hindsight-based view of consternation, this author skips any deeper consideration of contextualizing Bush to the state of the world he actually lived in.

I agree that this name should be much better known. I don’t think that should be pursued so heavily drenched in shallow, contemporary “optics”. If you must put such focus on the “critique”, at least provide some interesting and plausible counterfactuals.
I'm more afraid of the Aliens than the Large Spam Machines, personally.
With modern developer tooling, it kind of is. Pick the right language for the right job. You can catch the vast majority of crashes in your code at compile time, to the point where the potential of 'making a mistake' is a statistical improbability. But so many companies just stick with C, and even ignore compiler and static code analysis warnings, because the machismo of their devs protects them much better. Software by companies failing basic risk analysis.
I once was asked to count loc using a tool another team developed, to measure code produced in the last 3 months.

They had imported about a year's worth of crap from a previous repository 2.5 months ago.

I noticed that the loc counter included all commented loc, so I made a legit file of several tens of thousands "loc", checked it in, ran the counter, made the report, was recognized for productivity, and thn reverted the comments.

Productivity, largely, is reducing loc while improving other quality attributes and features...
Every time a tech company screws me over I file an FTC complaint. I hope that in some small way the complaints filed by ordinary people about monopolistic lock-in, abuse of monopoly power and genera asshole behavior end up contributing to the multi-million dollar judgements against big tech. The message should be “abuse your customers at your peril”

I think the price points for Pi 5 are staying where they are ($60/80 was launch price for Pi 5 4/8GB, respectively).

The fact the boards have a 1 and 2 GB resistor option for memory means I'm guessing those were planned (or are planned still?) and would logically slot in at a $40 price point.

That would give back some of the price-advantage for many Pi use cases, since at least for me, about half the things I use Pis for, I could do within 1 (preferably 2) GB of RAM.
These cases were in Israel. So if you mean the fourth and fifteenth amendments to the US Constitution, they are very unlikely to apply (I’m leaving some room because I don’t know anything about Israeli government)

"If a big earthquake temporarily disables a chunk of communications infrastructure." OP is talking about the kind of thing that kicks in if that cell phone network, or 911 response, or what have you is compromised.
It says "PoE Support", but requires a separate HAT (the transformer alone would take up too much board space to fit on the Pi-sized footprint). It has a 4-pin PoE header just like the Pi.

I would imagine it would need at least PoE+ with a 30W power budget.
Yeah the novel part of this is the use of this technology in an artificial heart. We use these in the chemical industry for really harsh services such as a chemical that will destroy any uncoated metal or traditional pump seal.
What a crock. While that certainly takes a willingness to deny basic reality, it's a whole different kettle of fish from the kind of disjunct that would be required to believe many of these lines are from an actual Harris campaign ad. Either way, it's a total reach to claim this is some kind of hypocrisy or breaking of the Twitter terms unless there's accompanying evidence that similarly obvious satire gets taken down routinely for violating that rule.
How would staying in an Airbnb give you any insight? The problem isn't the hosts, it's the folks staying. They're substantially more likely to be drunk and partying, and don't need to worry about any long term consequences of their antisocial behaviour.

I check Airbnb when I move, and I'd rate a full time rental next to me similarly to a busy street. Not a deal breaker, but certainly a strike against it. If others do the same, that translates to a direct reduction in property value for the host's neighbours.

I don't have any moral issue with Airbnb hosts or travellers - I have used it about as much as you have. I don't mind people making money from it.

But when a city decides to quantify the externalities and impose restrictions, it is absolutely not appropriate to talk about financial losses hosts have. They made a cynical bet on relaxed (poor) governance, and lost. You or I shouldn't care any more than they should care about my startup failing.
> Why do people suggest inflating away debt rather than just defaulting on it?

Because one ultimately still keeps the debt obligation in place, whilst the latter causes debt confidence collapses & the destruction of faith in repayments from the government.

Would you rather take a 2% value loss via inflation, or a 90-100% value loss as the government declares default? Most people would take the former rather than the latter, as the impact of one is much softer than the other.
This is the paragraph that proceeded this line, which prompts Holmes's discourse, and the lines quoted don't work as well without the context:

> His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System. That any civilized human being in this nineteenth century should not be aware that the earth travelled round the sun appeared to be to me such an extraordinary fact that I could hardly realize it.

I suspect that Doyle gave Holmes this dialog because it was reflective of the character, not because Doyle thought it was a good description of the way the world or the mind works. If you read enough Holmes you can see pretty clearly that his character is very rarely the voice of the author—that's Watson, who admires Holmes's skill but is frequently frustrated by him as a person.

I'm not even really convinced that Holmes could be as skilled as he's supposed to be with as broad ignorance as he's portrayed here as having. The science of deduction as he's supposed to apply it in the stories would actually require rather encyclopedic knowledge of many different topics in order to understand the wide array of humans he's supposed to be reading (and indeed, in later Holmes stories he exhibits this kind of encyclopedic knowledge of extremely obscure details of many fields).
Don't the hospitals already use mixes of antibiotics?
I use cloc[0], when I want to count my code (not often. It’s not a metric that really interests me).

It’s generally 50/50, between code (Swift, usually), and comments.

I don’t do the Java “one file for every class” thing, but I still like to keep my files relatively small, if I can.

What are W-ratings of the power supplies for N-series and RK?
More lines of code usually indicates more bugs so its not an entirely useless metric. Using it to gauge employee productivity is, since as the linked suggests some of the better programmers are able to remove code, which often reduces the potential for bugs.

I personally find some use it in, if nothing else to identify which files probably need to be refactored as they are too large, or complex. Throw in some cyclomatic complexity and you are getting some useful information out the code counts.

Counting lines of code is one metric though. Another I have seen thrown around is ULOC https://cmcenroe.me/2018/12/14/uloc.html where you count the number of unique lines of code,

sort -u *.h *.c | wc -l

Again another metric that potentially speaks to the health of a project. I personally wrote about this some time ago when someone asked why I wrote a code counting project https://boyter.org/posts/why-count-lines-of-code/ and I liked the idea of ULOC so much I integrated it into the project as well.

Clearly I am not alone in this though, hence there being so many code counters around (forgive me if I missed yours in the following list) and discussion around it.

- [SLOCCount](https://www.dwheeler.com/sloccount/) the original sloc counter
- [cloc](https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc), inspired by SLOCCount; implemented in Perl for portability
- [gocloc](https://github.com/hhatto/gocloc) a sloc counter in Go inspired by tokei
- [loc](https://github.com/cgag/loc) rust implementation similar to tokei but often faster
- [loccount](https://gitlab.com/esr/loccount) Go implementation written and maintained by ESR
- [ployglot](https://github.com/vmchale/polyglot) ATS sloc counter
- [tokei](https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei) fast, accurate and written in rust
- [sloc](https://github.com/flosse/sloc) coffeescript code counter
- [scc](https://github.com/boyter/scc) my own counter

Incidentally the articles author confused me for a while using standard unix tools to count code, as I had them confused for David Wheeler who wrote the very first code counter that I know of sloccount.
It's funny to see this. I don't recall being aware of the company at the time these job listings were posted, but less than three years later, I was working there!
Seems like a complaint that MS was using underhanded tactics, so Kaspersky complained to an organisation that might do something about it.

It doesn't really seem like an example of MS coming up with a better solution then discussing it with industry, unless I'm misunderstanding it?

Instead it seems a lot like MS figuring out a solution that advantages themselves then just rolling it out, at the expense of others. (?)
Conditioning is a behavioral term from when the brain was treated as a black box, and they wanted to come up with general principles of behavior in the absence of good neurological models. Things have advanced a bit since the 1950s.
Next step is to get recognized for simplification and "streamlining" of the codebase, by subsequent reduction.
The US has been in similar places during a world war where they were asserting global dominance.

It appears there is no further reasonable headroom for debt should a third world war break out -- the Americans will be up "shit creek without a paddle". In that scenario, roaring inflation would destroy whatever is left of the current economy as globalist trade routes collapse.

The recent wars and posturings of Western rivals (Iran, China, Russia) are no surprise. They are sharks circling what they perceive as a failing economic system in a winner-takes-all game.
OP, it looks like you can just grab the song IDs from their playlist page and then download them from their CDN.

If you navigate to a playlist page and run this code in your browser console, it should fetch all the songs:

(async () => {
const songRows = document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="song-row"]');

for (const row of songRows) {
const link = row.querySelector('a[href^="/song/"]');
const title = row.querySelector('span[title]').title;
const id = link.href.split('/song/')[1];

const response = await fetch(`https://cdn1.suno.ai/${id}.mp3`);
const blob = await response.blob();
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = url;
a.download = `${title}.mp3`;
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a);
URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
}
})();
The working mechanism of femtosecond (and picosecond for that matter) micromachining is the same as the coulomb explosion being discussed here. In the industry it is usually referred to 'athermal' or 'cold' to differentiate from the older system which rely on thermally heating the material to ionize it.

In fact it is mentioned explicitly in the wikipedia article:

>Coulomb explosions for industrial machining are made with ultra-short (picosecond or femtoseconds) laser pulses...Coulomb explosion etching can be used in any material to bore holes, remove surface layers, and texture and microstructure surfaces

In this context, a few users are scraping YC profile information to attempt various scam/wire-fraud schemes against community members.

1. masquerading as YC associated organizations

2. attempting to extract banking information with classic 419'er tactics

3. spamming member contact routes with several phone and email Grifts

These folks appear to be operating on a 4 month cycle, and redistributing target leads to other fraudsters.

Annoying, but hardly a problem limited to YC if that is your concern.

> No you can’t roll back bad driver updates in any OS, if you could then by definition they do not sit in the kernel space.

drivers and kernel binaries are typically installed and maintained by user space programs that run with some sort of elevated privileges.

"kernel space" is just a runtime context, what gets loaded into there typically comes ordinary (protected) files on the disk.
