I'm not a Yank, and referencing your other comment in this thread about the commute, I'm a ~10 minute bike ride from my office.

I just don't care about my colleagues in a friendship context. I only interact with them because I have to professionally, but from my last 4 companies I haven't made a single lasting friendship. Because, again, I have a lot of actual friends who I'd much rather see than the random people from my office.
There aren't that many solutions. You can go to 5 digit numbers, or use 4 characters with an expanded alphabet, or do nothing. What other solutions could there possibly be?
>The imported junk we get from Netherlands is abysmal compared to anything grown locally

Considering how far north Netherlands is, and how gloomy the weather is, I'm not sure why anyone would think it's a good place to grow tomatoes. I thought Italy was the big tomato exporter in the EU.
> Don’t get me wrong, the field is riddled with people who think testing is beside them and wash their hand with the quality of what they ship and what they put their users through. That’s an issue to fix not a situation we should tolerate.

See, this is my point. It's not that testing is beside me, it's that my stuff gets tested anyway.

Here's the test: Does it fucking work or not?

You do that by running the thing. If it explodes, find out why and fix it. Job done. No thought or line of code was wasted in writing tests, all brain power was used to initially write a piece of code - which initially had a bug of course - and then said bug was fixed.

My code gets tested. By people using it. Or by me testing it as I write it ("does it fucking work").

There is really only one test.

You can choose to expend your brainpower and time on this planet writing code that will never actually be run by an end-user, or you can just write the fucking code that the end-user will run. That's how I work. Write it and run it. That's the test.

Test code written to test Useful Working Code is time wasted. It's like putting stabiliser wheels on bicycles - you're either gonna be stuck forever riding a bike with stabilisers, or you grow up and rip them off and have a few falls on the bike then become confident and competent enough to ride that bike without them. And have more freedom and time to experiment and go places you couldn't when they were put on.

So yeah. I definitely wouldn't work with people who like wasting my and their time on this Earth.

Write it. Run it. It either does what it's supposed to or not. If it doesn't, find out why and fix it. Or discover that your function/code abstraction/thought was shit in the first place then write it differently - oh and that's the worst part about writing code that tests the Code That Does The Work; say you discover that the function you're writing was a load of bollocks and needs to be highlighted and simply erased - there goes all that test code you spent brainpower and time, with it, too. And now you have to spend even more time writing new test code to test the Code That Actually Does Useful Work.

No thanks. And goodbye.
I feel like the entire fiasco has been multiple issues being lumped together as one, and muddied to the point that even a bluescreen out of an attempt to run XMP at extremely high MT/s are now being claimed as degradation. From what I can make out of this mud, there seems to be (1) a failure caused by high current due to some boards unlocking IccMax/PL1/PL2 by default, and (2) high voltage during a single-core boost (TVB). The former is caused by overclocking, and the latter seems to be Intel's failure to validate the CPUs at low load/long period of single-core boost, where IccMax/PL no longer matters as much (since single-core boost never exceeds PL1 anyway).

Most Raptor Lake "server boards" right now are W680 with client CPUs because the C266/Xeon E-2400 took a long time to come out. The one intended for workstations typically has overclockable settings or is even overclocked by default, which means it's likely to get hit with the failure (1). The one intended for servers do have more conservative settings, but can still be hit with failure (2) under some conditions.

Buildzoid released a video on the Supermicro W680 blade a bit ago that were having issues after running a single-core load 24x7, which is essentially 24x7 boost[1] (aka issue (2)). Xeon E-2400 _could_ be affected in this scenario, although even the highest clock E-2400 SKU (E-2488) is only running at 5.6GHz without Thermal Velocity Boost, and most others are ranging from 4.5 to 5.2 GHz boost (rather than the 5.8 to 6 GHz boost some client SKUs do). I feel like the actual B0 Xeon E-2400 would be a lot less prone to both failures (1) and (2) due to this (but it could happen, though there's no reports of such).

But then the conversation gets muddied enough that "even servers and Xeons are affected" becomes the common narrative (while the former is true, the circumstances needs to be noted; and for Xeons, it's a _maybe_ at most, since right now there's no report of Xeon E-2400 failing).

From that video: "This card doesn't fit in a Rolodex, because it doesn't belong in a Rolodex!"

Yeah, and it doesn't fit in a wallet either... So it's going to get thrown away as soon as he's turned his back. Four dollars down the drain every time.

Here's hoping that was intended as satire?
> I found no doxxing

If you think that images of brian krebs' face with "Hurensohn" (German for "son of a whore") on it are not doxxing, you must be living in a parallel world.

Not gonna post direct links to this, because of HN guidelines. See the VICE article about it, which still contains some of those images. [1]

What I'm saying is that there was an attempt to doxx Brian Krebs, and the users of the imageboard [2] and Gamb, one of the admins, was turning that shitstorm into a positive thing. [3]

Why even trust the OS at this point? Get the budget to write your own, in-house one. It's not like economies of scale really exist.
Veggies are mostly water, so you'll need to account for that. Same when brining meat.
Not really. There are a lot of points in history where the bigger problem was long-term thinking, as in: emperors expending the lives of tens of thousands of their subjects on the battlefield in order to achieve glory beyond death.
How about a white book light with a piece of orange/yellow plastic over it (like a stage lighting gel).
I am not familiar with either Rust or the Switch, so maybe you can enlighten me: why would a Rust game be challenging on the Switch?

As long as you have a good C ffi (which Rust has), shouldn't it be quite easy?

Or is the Switch more similar to Android/iPhone where you cannot (could not?) run native code directly but have to use a platform specific language like Java or Objective C?
This looks like the „compagnon du devoir et du tour de France“ in France.

They learn the basics and then they make a tour of France to refine their skills. They are required to move at least every six months.

I know a couple of them from my family and this looks impressive. If this existed for software engineering, this would be the best training.

Death is a tragedy. I see zero issue with longevity research.

Any second-order societal effects can be dealt with, but this is absolutely not an area where we need regulations and deliberation of "safety" when literally everyone you know, your children, and your loved ones will die without this research.

The problem of dying is a much more urgent problem than, say, overpopulation or duration of power. Those can be solved once we aren't all, well, dying.

LLM Dreams – images from automatically generated LLM prompts
All images in the LLM Dreams gallery are generated using the Flux model from the Black Forest Team, powered by the fal.ai API. The prompts for these images were brainstormed by DeepSeek, drawing inspiration from existing Stable Diffusion prompts found in the Gustavosta/Stable-Diffusion-Prompts dataset on Hugging Face. All the code was written by Claude.
We could allow zero cost non-conversion from the primitive type (and invalid values at rest as a consequence) but check and complain about invalid enum values at runtime, "opt-in", when we care: in some kind of novel exhaustive pattern matching statement (not an old school switch statement), which can simply treat invalid values as an erroneous default case, or by invoking a synthesized validation method of the enum class (and if possible with validating variations of conversion from the primitive type, copy constructors and the like).

Most enum use is served adequately by never letting in potentially invalid values from untrusted input; an enum variable that is set to an enum constant will necessarily have a valid value. "Decayed" primitive values, like a bitmask formed by bitwise operations between valid enum values, aren't normally intended to be re-ingested as enum values.
Sahm Rule Recession Indicator
This spring (2 months before strawberry season), I bought a pack of strawberries in a supermarket. They had a good strawberry smell, some liquid (I thought it was condensate), but when I tried them at home, were like rubber inside -- absolutely tasteless. Seems these rubber strawberries were poured with strawberry syrup!!!! I let my wife try them, to feel the absurdity, and threw the rest in the trash bin.

I'm lucky to have a big marketplace in walkable distance.

My friend lived in Saint Petersburg, then moved to Yerevan (Armenia) and then to Prague (Czech rep). In Yerevan, in contrast to the other two cities, there are vegetable markets, and they have a taste. In SPb and Prague, they're like made of rubber.

I was in Shenzen in 2017 and then again in late 2023.

The level of pollution is a huge difference. The sky was blue in late 2023. The air was fresh. There were nice breezes. People were enjoying the outdoors.

On the road, most cars were EVs. So when you walk next to the road, you don't smell gasoline and you don't feel the heat of the engines.

It was very pleasant.

Indicator is now 0.52 indicating early months of recession.

Sahm Rule: "When the three-month moving average of the national unemployment rate is 0.5 percentage point or more above its low over the prior twelve months, we are in the early months of recession."

caution:

"The Sahm rule is an empirical regularity. It’s not a proposition; it’s not a law of nature." -- Claudia Sahm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_rule#Historical_Accuracy

>The Sahm rule is a robust tool that has been very accurate in identifying a downturn in the business cycle and almost always doesn't trigger outside of a recession. The simplicity of the calculation contributes to its reliability. The Sahm rule signals the early stages (onset) of a recession and generated only two false positive recession alerts since the year 1959 (there have been 11 recessions since 1950); in both instances — in 1959 and 1969 — it was just a little untimely, with the recession warning appearing a few months before a slide in the U.S. economy began.[15] In the case of the false positive warning related to the year 1959 it was followed by an actual recession six months later. The Sahm rule typically signals a recession before GDP data makes it clear.[16]

>The Sahm rule is designed to indicate that the U.S. economy is in the early months of a recession, rather than forecasting future recessions.[17] While the historical performance and timeliness of the Sahm rule has been very accurate, the reliability of the Sahm rule in today's economy has been questioned by many economists (including Claudia Sahm) due to several distortions and there is reason to believe that the economy might act differently this time around due to unique unusual conditions.

...

> A lesser-known feature of the Sahm model is that it is particularly useful in assessing recession ends. The standard 3-month smoothed Sahm rule has on average a minimum two month lag to recession ends (while the unsmoothed-Sahm indicator provides for near perfect coincident signalling of business cycle troughs), according to Dwaine Van Vuuren.
Tesla attempt to save Elon Musk's $56B pay package gets sceptical reception

I feel like our industry kinda went the wrong way wrt UI frontend tests.

It should be much less focused on unit testing and more about flow and state representation, both of which can only be tested visually. And if a flow or state representation changed, that should equate to a simple warning which automatically approves the new representation as the default.

So a good testing framework would make it trivial to mock the API responses to create such a flow, and then automatically do a visual regression of the process.

Cypress component tests do some of this, but it's still a lackluster developer experience, honestly

This is specifically about UI frontend tests. Code that doesn't end up in the DOM are great for unit tests.
> There are no tests there, but for the non-tech types who created these monsters, spending time on writing a test suite has a very real cost - there's less time to do the actual job they were hired for!

Not spending time on writing tests has a very real cost - a lot of time is spent on figuring out why your forecast was way off, or your year end figures don't add up.

Not to mention how big parts of the world are thrown into austerity, causing hundred of thousand dead, due to errors in your published research [0].

That's what I thought as well, but clearly there's more debate there to be had than I realised. Was the city not founded by one of Alexander's generals or was it? Or ever called something like Iskanderha? I don't know.
Oh, I personally have seen an FTP protocol, and it's not simple at all. The actual data transfer is set up in a completely bonkers way, be it in active or passive mode. Even if you really, really need two separate connections for commands and for data (spoilers: you actually don't), why not have it done like this:

* client connects to ftp-server:22
> STOR ~/newfile.txt <CR><LF>
< 227 server-generated-magical-cookie-nonce <CR><LF>
* client again connects to ftp-server:22
> DATA server-generated-magical-cookie-nonce <CR><LF>
< 225 <CR><LF>
> ...binary data follows

And never mind all the cruft needed to support OSes that pre-date UNIX or, in fact, TCP's wide adoption. Seriously, 99% of the time all the upload functionality you want is equivalent to

<newfile.txt ssh ftp-server 'cat >newfile.txt'

The 1 remaining percent is upload resumption.
I think it's just the numbers causing the fear.

I actually haven't thought about it in terms of presidential candidate selection. But to engage in conjecture, I'd very uncontroversially say that it's precisely split down party lines - if you're going to vote Democrat then you're going to thing the Republicans are more likely to make recession worse, and vice versa.

Personally, I think parties and politicians are somewhat leaves on the stream of momentum and world events. They may have some control of variations in speed and direction, but nowhere near what they're blamed / given credit for.

This recession is a predictable outcome of the global shake up caused by COVID, and particularly the money printing / incentive cheques, which was a political decision. But not doing it could have had a worse result, who knows?

Japan's situation, Ukraine, and now Israel and Iran, those destabilising forces are going to do more to world economics than any individual politician or country (although the US's influence is outsized).
Capitalism isn't the reason your housing costs so much; that's because of crappy government regulations (i.e. Euclidean zoning) and NIMBYs. Remove the regulations and let landowners do what they want with land and it'll be fixed; that's how it works here in Japan.

Conversely, the reason American healthcare is such a disaster is because of really bad regulation. Developed nations have shown that good healthcare systems require strong regulation, but not shitty regulation like the US has.
The BoJ put interest rates up last week, which surprised everyone because they've been an outlier for a long time in having negative interest rates and then a 0% rate. That strengthened the currency even more.

If the yen strengthens, then it means the goods sold by Japanese companies become more expensive for foreign buyers, so they'll sell less and earn less. Along with fears of the US economy starting to struggle (worse than expected job figures last week) it's a perfect storm. Gains up to this year have been good so for many firms wanting to de-risk they can still sell now and still make a profit.
Why do tomatoes from Netherlands look so perfect, but taste so bland? I never understand it. I guess that they look perfect because they are grown in a green house, so no pests.

Real question: Why do tomatoes from south Europe taste so much better? Is it the sunshine, or the soil? Or is the gene stock of the tomatoes? Or... everything?
Netherlands is one of the most agriculturally productive nations on the planet. They simply have the greenhouse industry, port and rail infrastructure to ship out what they grow very efficiently. You can get the best tomatoes in southern Europe but unless you turn that tomato sauce or can them it's going to waste. Tomatoes are some of the most difficult veg to ship. Ripening and transporting tomatoes is a tricky problem to get right.
I've been reading your writings for a few months and I can assure you that you're on a lot of strangers' minds, passively making positive change in other people. I wish all the best to you and your family.
I believe there might be certain feeds that could affect taste, hearing story of how chickens fed with fish had fish taste... But if the main feed is mostly same, the taste should be mostly same. And I doubt any producer has anything that would add any offtastes.

This it not what I am referring to. I am referring to the chart posted in their official community post, most recently in June [1]. The chart is labelled "Intel Recommendations: 'Intel Default Settings'" (sic). Notice how "Baseline" is incomplete, and so is "Extreme". Also notice a bunch of notes saying "Intel does not recommend baseline" included on their "recommendations" chart. There's more of little gotchas like that if you pay attention. Also note that this chart has been quietly revised at least once as I have a version from back in April that was less stringent and less guarded with notes than it is now.

That's an excellent book, and I do the same. I err on the side of just over for the 2% as iirc the safe limit isn't too much lower. Most things are totally fine at 2.5% too, particularly sauces (berries is probably where you may want to be on the lower side).

Vac bags for me have worked every time for me, I like to make these things with my kids, let them pick things to lacto ferment. Strawberries is the most recent that was excellent (and we'd picked several kilos), the liquid was fantastic for a dressing and the strawbs themselves worked great on meringues.
You can justify the escape hatches for every feature in C++. The problem is that we eschew sensible defaults to handle the edge cases. Without going into a rust war, I think rust's unsafe is a great way to handle this - for 99% of use cases, you _really_ don't want to put an invalid enum value in there. But, in the number of cases where you do, you should have an escape hatch to do so.

If you could do:

my_enum_type foo(std::vector<char>& buf, int& offset)
{
// bounds check omitted for brevity
// return my_enum_type{buf{offset++]}; // outside an unsafe-style block would cause a compile error, or a throwing constructor. TBD
std::unsafe {
return my_enum_type{buf[offset++]};
}
}

you would reduce the possible impact areas to places where you explicitly want to do dangerous stuff.

Instead we end up with a feature that is a "zero cost abstraction" which just pushes the bookkeeping onto the user - every switch statemeent needs to handle the case where someone has passed in 42.
I wonder if it's by design.
This is addicting. How did you provide the context? Did you provide the main theme of the story? The prompts to ChatGPT must me huge.
I find it rather easy as long as you don’t have to interact with the OS. That’s where it becomes messy, with inflexible data structures and convoluted arguments in ABIs designed to be used from higher level languages.

If you are doing really low level stuff, sometimes it’s worth rolling out your own little RTOS with just the bits and pieces you need.

Not that long ago, I realised most 8-bit (and MS-DOS) computer games had their own RTOS woven into the game code, with multi-tasking, hardware management, IO, and so on.
This is very misleading. The damage should be proportional to the relevant parts of the economy, rather than as a proportion of the total. Especially keeping in mind that certain parts of the global economy are essential (like agriculture) and others less so.

For example, suppose in year 1800 or whatever, 20% of some region's economy is agriculture. Drought occurs, and food production goes down by half. So gdp goes down by 10%.

In 2024, agriculture is 4% of the economy. Drought again kills half the food production. GDP goes down by 2%.

Are we doing better?
That sounds amazing, thank you for sharing.

I wonder if your experience with maple syrup is different from the author’s because of differences in pork belly size. My recent food experiences lead me to believe that sugar doesn’t penetrate solid foods deeply even when left over days or weeks. If that’s true, your unwashed bacon and the author’s could vary from the author’s by surface area. Or it could be a subjective matter of taste.
If they are the only user or developer, sure. Otherwise they are the least qualified to say it's better -- like how I'd be the least qualified to declare myself winner of a handsome contest.
