The macros automatically derived the signedness and the minimum and maximum value of the integral types involved, in a way that didn’t made platform-specific assumptions like two’s complement or no padding bits. Cases like comparing signed long to unsigned long also needed extra logic, due to there being no larger type that encompasses both. I don’t remember the details, but it did have a significant number of nested macro invocations.

Is this... a check for type-compatibility? I don't think actually produces a compilation error if the types are incompatible.

STM32H7 tops out at 600MHz. This has 2x 300MHz at 2-3 cycles/op FP64. So maybe your applications can fit into this?
> So what does this mean? Microsoft lost a similar lawsuit over 20 years ago in which the government initially pushed to have the company split up (this was later overturned on appeals).

IBM lost a similar lawsuit nearly 40 years ago. It was overturned on appeals. Microsoft's split up was overturned on appeals. This ruling is certain to be appealed. Even if Google is eventually split up, it could be over a decade before we see anything happen.

Look at the history of breaking up AT&T - which eventually happened. Anyone thinking this ruling will have any impact on business in the near future hasn't been paying attention as to how these cases go.

Having worked closely with a number of artist that achieved notable level of mainstream success (multiple Billboard Top 40 hits, years of touring) I have to agree with the authors conclusion. Even for those that have successful careers spanning a number of years it's more or less over as soon as it starts. They then spend years chasing what they had but it's near impossible. By the end most end up financially not well off and with little to no career options. It's amazing while it's happening but the candle burns quickly, that being said I doubt many artists would agree.
I see nothing really "different" or "better" here, in terms of visuals or ease of use.

To that end... I don't see the point in imitating a desktop experience that is pretty stagnant and moving in the wrong direction (macOS; I'm a user myself) when there are the decades that preceded Y2K that could be mined for much more usable an interesting desktop experiences. There's BeOS, Amiga Workbench, Atari ST various windowing managers, OS/2, Windows 9x, the list goes on...

I still use Mac System 7.x from the mid-1990s which with a few choice extensions is basically equivalent to modern macOS windowing experience. And of course that goes back to the early 1980s with the prior System software and even the late 1970s with Apple Lisa development.

Go further! Be more daring!
Or it could be cheaper to make.

i.e. It's cheaper per unit-airtime to have a small crew interviewing people for backstory (+ editing) than recording people doing the course. They can pad-out the expensive bit (holding the events) with filler/b-roll.
The point is, machines need to be built and optimized. That has a cost that even today is high enough where its still better to have a worker flipping burgers, even if we have the technology to automate this already. The cost of labor is just that low, and the cost of automation is just that high, and the amount of profit you get from burger flipping is only covering so much overhead.
A lot of shallow "but the buttons!" comments here... no need to be so negative.

This is the first alpha release of a full new desktop environment, built on a new GUI toolkit (based on Iced) and a new Wayland compositor, together with a suite of applications, all built from scratch in Rust .... give it some time.

Most interesting to me is the integrated tiling support.

I've been on i3/sway for many years, but a lean, lightweight and fast DE with tiling as a core feature and full proper keyboard navigation support everywhere might get me to switch. There are times where you really miss a proper DE over the hacky patchwork that a custom setup with a niche Wayland compositor entails.
Little Snitch WAS NEVER A GOOD PRODUCT if you're worried about DNS-leaks.

Fact: Little Snitch resolves the IP address (i.e. does domain-to-IP lookup) before the Deny/Allow dialogue ever appears onscreen. Only by pressing "Allow" does Little Snitch then allow/initiate connections to the already-resolved IP ADDRESS.
Isn't that because the hardware providers make it work?

I doubt that ChromeOS would have the same features if it were just a distro to install on unspecific hardware.

Some of them sort of do, by requiring that plastic straws are only provided on request rather than by default. Here's NYC's version:

https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-03462
Yeah, I don't regularly use straws, but when I do, I just need/"need" a straw and really hate having an inferior straw. For whatever reason, I just really hate stainless steel straws.

Not only are there much bigger priorities, but it's also ridiculous in some forms, and that creates another type of distraction from what actually matters.
Same with the Lusophon Mathematical Olympiad 2023 example.

It makes a bunch of specious claims about parity. (Adding 4 to a number changes the parity? Therefore, the parity of each colour always changes for each turn? Therefore, the parity will always be the same as it was initially?) And then it concludes that since the parity is right, 2022 of each colour must be a reachable state.

Which, as you say, is quite possible the correct answer, but it's really weird to put it out there as an example with no comment on the reasoning.
If I read the datasheet correctly you still need an inductor and some passive components externally.
The only thing that is not needed is an external switch mode power supply chip.

I'll give a few reasons

- You can place the cup on a table and continue to drink it without taking your hands off your burger, or getting salty fingers on your cup

- Tipping a drink up makes you take your eyes off what's in front of you, so it's more awkward to do while walking

- Tipping a drink up makes you take your eyes off what's in front of you, so it's more dangerous while driving. Plus it can bash the bottom of the cup into your roof or sun visor if it's down.

- My McDonald's Coke Zero tastes better through a plastic straw. I don't know the science behind it but it enters your mouth differently and I like it more than sipping from a cup or a can
So many negative takes here. Does it look perfect? No, it's an alpha. I think the most important thing is that it's built on a solid base that will allow it to grow into a really really great DE.
I fear by then it will be too late, and these rugged individualists will be putting their hand out for socialism help after their poor choice. I would like to hope there is enough political will to tell them to pound sand and grab their bootstraps, but, you know. It is the third most populous state in the US with ~22.9M inhabitants (as of this comment), so its possible we get dragged by these folks. Hard to predict the future in this regard due to politics involved.

They probably mean "on-board" instead of "on-chip".

Data sheet [0] section "5.4 Powerchain" shows an external RT6150 buck-boost switcher with an external inductor.

Edit: reading further in that section of the data sheet, "The RP2350 has an on-chip switching regulator that powers the digital core at 1.1V (nominal) from the 3.3V supply,
which is not shown in Figure 7."

It has proven difficult enough to find a PDF of the schematic (I don't have Cadence Allegro installed) that I am giving up.
When I was living in Germany circa 1999 I was riding the train from the former East Berlin to Dresden and remember watching the engineer look at his watch and at the clock on the platform, making a point to push the driving lever forward at the exact moment the seconds hand hit zero.
I'm looking right now at my mac's dock (on the left side) and see clear misaligned stuff. I think it's because of the black dot that tells when the app is opened or not, but the right margin is smaller than the left margin, and the dot is not even centered in the left margin, is close to the left edge, looking even bad if you notice.

Maybe what I should have said is "you can't just retry transactions against a strict serializable database and expect to still get strict serializability (from the applications's perspective)". This is true of distributed system APIs more generally, too.
They don't. You still need those passive elements. See section 6.3 of the datasheet.

As discussed a few weeks ago, strlen() + memcpy() is faster than strlcpy() on superscalar platforms with branch prediction. Iterating over the string twice is not a penalty if the alternative hobbles the hardware with more complex code.

> This system has to have some idea of what real value is

This is probably the most cursed problem ever.

Assume you could develop such a system, why wouldn't you just incorporate its logic into the original fitness function and be done with it?

I think the answer is that such a system can probably never be developed. At some level humans must be involved in order to adapt the function over time in order to meet expectations as training progresses.

The information used to train on is beyond critical, but heuristics regarding what information matters more than other information in a given context might be even more important.
Because there is more than one cup design and I do not want to make it look like I am drinking out of a sippy cup when I am at a nice sit down restaurant.

Straws also are more sanitary because I don't want to put my lip on the edge of a cup that could be contaminated.
Ah, apologies on the misread, then. I'm not able to say what parts are new versus them doing a solid stab at it.
> Just 15 years ago, there was a heavy focus on usability and making user interfaces clear and readable. Now, the focus seems to be much more on aesthetics.

I'm going to make an argument I don't fully agree with, but I think is worth discussing: the dramatic increase in digital literacy affords us the ability to focus on aesthetics more now. When no one knew how to use a computer or what it could do, everything needed to be extremely descriptive and often needed a metaphor back to the "real world." This isn't (as) true anymore.

Since this takes human operations out of the loop on the origin for certs I could see an opportunity to add one more privacy step until ECH is universally supported on all the things. Their origin side daemon could sign a cert with a name that Cloudflare trusts but does not in any way match the domains on the origin server. Thus anyone intercepting traffic can not tell via ESNI handshake what domains that origin server is serving. The translation to the actual domain(s) could occur on the origin side. Alternatively their daemon could configure Wireguard so that all traffic is encapsulated in a VPN between Cloudflare and the origin, or perhaps some WAN optimized VPN daemon that can re-route around circuit outages similar to how tinc-vpn can be configured and one of the WAN optimizer daemons that uses FEC and multiple streams.
Its advantage over ESP32 is the flexibility in its PIO peripheral, I'd say.

That, and it's super well documented and easy to get code running on it.

ESP32 is a great complement to it though for projects needing wifi or BLE

You watch travel vlogs where fights break out on planes? I'd love to see those channels!

I suspect not. I suspect you don't watch actual vlogs, rather you see 1 minute long clips we all see.

Sometimes we want to watch the whole unedited experience to get a sense of what it's like, rather than for 1 minute entertainment bits. I've watched Tesla Self Drive from SF to LA over several days to see what it's like for example (it's jerky on streets I'll tell you that).

There's bias in every single thing. But the alternative is to be blind to all media, which no one is doing. I've given you the context, and you've drawn up a red herring--1 minute news clips, which I'm not talking about.
In this case it's because he controls a major social media platform. He is in charge of the obsession itself.

It was true before that, and that's because he likes being outrageous in a way that Bezos, Cook, and Buffett don't. We could obsess about them if they wanted it, but they don't seem to want it. They're not totally silent in public but they tend to avoid being especially obnoxious.

Musk bought the platform precisely so that he could amplify his own voice and opinions. It's no surprise that people pay attention.

> Strategies for attracting and retaining tech talent in a non-tech industry

As someone who is a tech lead at a non-tech company that does software in house for a niche product in a niche market...

You can either treat the software as a product in it of itself (as opposed to bolting it on to other projects for your core business) or you should expect to include some hazard pay to compensate for the mental and spiritual trauma caused by trying to pretend you can treat the software like a line item in non-software projects that "just" need software support, ending up with 4-5 project managers trying to oversee/status a single software release.

We do the latter and if some of the other benefits were not as good as they are, it would absolutely be a deal breaker.

I suspect most other non-tech companies also operate in a similarly sub-optimal way (the blind leading the blind), but why would I put up with that level of ass-hattery for anything less than what the market can bear?

I would really love to see a breakdown on how paper straws came to be. It seems that overnight after that Turtle video a lot of laws were passed, and paper straws (which I had never seen before) were flowing out of every place that sold drinks.

It smells like a premeditated astroturf-driven regulatory capture campaign.
I disagree that Samsung’s main source of profit and growth for their smartphone business is the smartphones themselves, at least if we zoom out to the long term. Those are commoditized hardware devices. Each new generation of phone is less compelling than the current one because the product is essentially “done,” much like a microwave or toaster.

Samsung will make more money from you if they can sell you cloud services and other ecosystem stuff, just like Apple does with their platform.

Just look at how much revenue Apple’s services business brings in as a proportion of their business, at a much better margin than hardware sales.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/382260/segments-share-re...

Services are rapidly growing as a proportion of Apple’s electronics business and I suspect that Samsung is similar if they’re playing their cards right.

There’s going to be a point where Samsung really doesn’t care if you have an old phone or not, as long as you are using Samsung services for your digital life.

Italy's geography is not universally worse.

> In general, I prefer having a search interface to my tabs, previously with Tabli, but now it's built into Chrome with Ctrl-Shift-A. I regularly have dozens of tabs open though.

Firefox has multiple ways you can do the tab search.

- Firefox View is an icon originally configured at the front of the tab bar that takes you to a dedicated page listing your tabs, recently visited, and lets you search tabs and otherwise manage them.

- Firefox has a tab search built into the address bar as soon as you enter the character '%' followed by a space. So for two sets of two keystrokes you're doing tab search: `Ctrl<L> + '% '`.

IMO the latter especially is fast and easy enough that I don't miss Chrome's tab search, and I often go into Firefox View just to see what I've got open and trim it down.
I'm really astounded that macOS window management is so bad. For a company lauded for their UX decisions, how can they accept the current full screen/splitting workflow as "good enough"?
How is a stainless steel straw any more dangerous than stainless steel silverware?

I agree. Why should you be able to buy drinks in disposable containers at all? Just have your drink at home like a normal person. In fact, all food and beverage establishments should just be banned. Eat at home and make yourself a lunch box.

People have preferences. Some people like eating out, some people like using straws. Why are we judging people over something like this?

Also, if you drink a fizzy or bubbly drink with glasses then it fizzes onto your glasses when you drink without a straw.

Also also, drinking something other than water via a straw is better for your teeth.
I like this a lot. But Im not such a specific programmer to even fathom how to do this. I do have the skills to learn anything. I just wonder if this would be possible with Erlang.
Anyone complaining about British food has never eaten Dutch "cuisine". After having lived in both countries I'll always defend the Brits when it comes to food.
