Totally valid take. The answer is: it depends.

The advantage of a lot of scripting tech is some form of REPL, which is really just a super-fast code-compile-run loop. In your example, "why?" boils down to how useful/painful those five seconds-per-change are. Maybe that adds up and slows the coder down, or maybe it's no big deal. It all kind of depends on the workflow and how fast you need to be able to iterate on code changes. Moving to a scripted interpreter would eliminate that wait period at the cost of runtime performance, which might be a valuable business tradeoff.

FWIW, that "script" solution sounds awesome for the time. I'll add that five seconds to build a hot-loaded DLL in the 90's is really, really good performance for that solution, regardless of its role as a scripting alternative. Today, that would probably be mere milliseconds to compile - impossible to distinguish from an embedded LUA or JS solution.
Is Tesla Miscounting Autopilot Crashes?
My wife's PC is a i7-2600 circa 2011. I have the ram maxed out, an SSD, and an nvidia card and for day-to-day stuff you'd never know it wasn't brand new-- seriously. It even runs Windows 11 perfectly with the Rufus modified installer.

If you're chasing FPS in AAA games it's not going to cut it, but it boots in seconds, loads apps quickly, plays streaming video perfectly...
It sounds like they're saying this is only a revelation to people in areas that don't already boil their water normally. Perhaps they may also be implying that because the study was done in China that they are trying to sweep microplastics under the rug as an issue in the first place because their people already boil the water.
If the "Craftsman" brand of tools didn't go completely out of business despite removing the lifetime warranty and just slapping the brand name on cheap chinese tools, then "Reputational damage" does not exist.
Can anyone advise what is the most common language used in enterprise settings for interfacing with K8s?
This is something that will require profiling to get exact numbers. The non-async portions of a high level filesystem read operation appear rather trivial: checking for cache hits (page cache, dentry cache, etc), parsing the inode/dentry info, and the memcpy to userspace. I wouldn't worry about any of these starving subsequent io_uring SQEs.

I reckon the most likely place you'd find unexpected CPU-heavy work is at the block layer. Software RAID and dmcrypt will burn plenty of cycles, enough to prove as exceptions to the "no FPU instructions in the kernel" guideline.
I'm having trouble seeing where the datasheet actually says the GPIO pins are 5V tolerant.

EDIT: okay, section 14.8.2.1 mentions two types of digital pins: "Standard Digital" and "Fault Tolerant Digital", and the FT Digital pins might be 5V tolerant, it looks like.
...duh?

Whenever an employer implements policies that unpopular, you can safely assume trying to force attrition without paying severance is a goal, whether primary or secondary.

Of course, this has a cascade effect, where the people who have the most prospects and valued that policy not being true are going to leave, and then that has an outsized effect on organizational health, which pushes other people into leaving.

I heard it said once that someone on The Dana Carvey Show knew it was cancelled when they found the free food container in the break room, which they'd never seen anything but overflowing, was empty. I suspect that a number of executives are now discovering they have had similarly not-obviously-critical absences become the canaries in the coal mine for others, as well as how hard it is to change perception of whether people want to work for you.
Outside of specific cocktails, straws are not a fine dining thing in the US either. There's a reason why people are talking about things like Coke and burgers in the context of straws in drinks.
Don't want to go too off topic, but I legitmately don't understand the fuss. It went from California to California. If there's any forced moves to SoCal, my condolances, but I didn't get that vibe from that thread that there were a bunch of disgruntled workers.

Are people still that interested in trying to join Twitter c. 2024? I'm desperate enough in terms of money to accept if I was just handed an offer, but I sure as hell am not doing anything more than 2 interviews before my interest nosedives.
> Maybe it's a cliche but my dad would say about Korea and other wars "no pics, no words, you had to be there". So that was a teenage trope in the 80s and 90s too for my generation, if you were trying to be cool just say "you had to be there".

sounds like a partial retroactive justification to me. sure, you wouldn't get the full experience via a photo or verbal anecdote, but it's not like camera smartphones were ubiquitous in the 80s either.
The Apolla era was a completely different animal. I don't think cars at seat belts in those days, society was much more accepting of danger. Also, nuclear annihilation was very real and anything required to beat the Soviet Union was on the table. That level of existential crisis and acceptance of danger in the public mind doesn't exist today.
I like how this article clearly and articulately states the reasons it gains to benefit from Kubernetes. Many make the jump without knowing what they even stand to gain, or if they need to in the first place - the reasons given here are good.
The General Motors CFO basically said as much on an investor call in 2022 or 2023. That didn't get rid of enough people, so now they've implemented stack ranking because that worked so well at MSFT. That said, they get a "free" 5% workforce reduction every year that they want it, no severance, no buyout, just let go. There will be more of that coming, particularly in US automotive after the UAW deal and the current sad state of vehicle sales and the write downs on EVs.

I uploaded my DNA results to GEDmatch and a couple other places for the explicit purpose of giving both researchers and law enforcement access to them.

Of course, I live in the real world and not a delusional paranoiac realm of fearmongering so I realize that the tangible realizable benefits far outweigh any, even hypothetical, risks.
I'm just here to say that I love the way you have laid out this comment and dismantled all the points the other person made. It's beautiful.
I hate websites that don’t allow reader view. Why do they do this?
I have used French drains on buildings where I didn't want to install and maintain gutters. The roof shed straight into a gravel path (no soil coverage) around the building that had perforated pipe leading to a dry well. Worked perfectly. In one case the pipe had to be very shallow so I used crusher-run (404) aggregate to form better support around the pipe at the surface. Again, worked perfectly. You really have to watch the details and plan things out meticulously for the given situation.
Did you have it show its work?
It's wild to me that even by their own internal measures (which are no doubt inflated) the effectiveness of the various mitigations they have put in place to prevent undesired behavior are mostly in the 95-98% range, and some even dip into the 80s. I can see why they can't make it more robust, since ultimately it is all a matter of who can best fine-tune and prompt hijack the underlying model, but in what other industry or problem space is this kind of failure rate acceptable? And at the end of it how do they look at the results and pat themselves on the back for a job well done? Like "yeah this tech we have released may be able to identify anyone in the world by just a sample of their voice and dox them, but it will only be abused 2% of the time!"

The top photo has a blue-green cast, whereas the bottom photo has a magenta cast.

Maybe the bottom one is a more realistic reproduction of the scene, but I also prefer the top one, which is more saturated and closer to what I associate as a film image.

Each kind of film has its own character and color variations; it’s silly to try to neutralize everything.
Entirely besides the point I was trying to make. I wasn’t trying to say that it’s a good idea for a team, but that git is complicated. Too complicated for beginners.
Wow, your comments make me have two thoughts:

1. When did you experienced the UK health system?

2. US health system should be REALLY good then.

I had to use the UK NHS between 2004 and 2008 kind of "extensively": Started with GPs (which I think is the weakest link, as they only give you 15 minutes for appointment and appointments are difficult to get). But once I got into a hospital; attention was so amazing, and all the studies were free and I was pretty well treated (blood work, ultrasound, colonoscopy, among others).

All in all, my experience with the NHS was hugely positive the 4 years I lived there. I feel it was even better than the one I had in Germany (where I also lived 4 years and also had some touch with its health system).

If I understand correctly, In the US I would have to earn some good money and jump hoops and loops through the insurance process to get something barely similar no? and those horror stories I read about the premiums payment, or that I need to be working to have insurance, but if I get in some accident and cannot work but have to use the health system then, I'm screwed?

TBH when I had the chance, I choose to go live in the UK instead of the US partly due to the fear of its health system.
Do you like the voice or no? There are other voices to choose from. Yes or no on voices in general?
Claude notably does not use RLHF, but uses RLAIF, using a LLM to generate the preferences based a "constitution" instead of human preferences. It's remarkable that it can bootstrap itself up to such high quality. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.08073 for more.
> Assuming science and tech improve exponentially

That's a pretty big assumption to make. Science and tech seem to improve as a direct function of energy available, and in the past few centuries that has been increasing very rapidly (I'm not sure I'd say exponentially though). However we're clearly hitting limits both in regard to human more energy we can harvest as rapidly and the consequences of unsustainable energy usage.
I would like to hear about what makes them bullshitters. I've had and seen really good results in terms of high productivity and low bug count on teams that followed the SOLID principles described in Robert Martin's Clean Architecture as well as Kent Beck's "make it work, make it right, make it fast." I've also universally observed the opposite results on teams that didn't.
Software I Pay For
I didn't know what a summer cocktail was, so I looked up a video of someone drinking one. The first one I found was a guy making four different kinds. He drinks them with no straw. But maybe that's weird. Maybe there's something special about a summer cocktail that just totally requires a straw, except for this one weird guy. Maybe I've had a summer cocktail in my life, I don't know, but it would certainly account for less than one in a thousand drinks I've had.

So anyway, I'm not really opposed to straws. If you need one for your fancy drink, or your designer mustache, go ahead. But also most straw usage seems unnecessary to me. Pulling out these edge cases seems like what-about-ism.

I’m not actually a huge fan of his (I think he’s a weak rapper but admit he has a golden ear for production, not to mention his highly objectionable public outbursts). But to call him an old act seems a bit ignorant, the material he’s continued to put out is a big part of some of the “many changes” seen in hip hop over the years.
The social aspects are very large and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was by far the main reason... but that's much less of an issue in a kernel-like context where there are already oodles of rules beyond "write valid C code". They can and do impose significant limitations on the languages they use, successfully, for decades. Seems like they'd be able to do that with C++ too.
Maybe I haven't used ones like you have or perhaps I drink my drink fairly quickly compared to others, but I haven't really had this problem with paper straws in my area (they seem to be coated in wax). Certainly the portion in the drink can start to be soggy... but I'm the type of guy that isn't really interested in the drink after the ice starts to significantly melt.

Mass YouTube outage reported in Russia amid escalating official criticism
It seems like a really strange choice to me that they made the arm and riscv cores mutually exclusive in each core complex since this just wastes die space on the core you're not using which in turn drives up the cost.

I feel like it would've been preferable if they either went all in on riscv or at least made it so all 4 cores could be used at the same time.

But if I were to guess the performance of the riscv cores probably doesn't match the ARM cores so they weren't confident enough in shipping a pure riscv SoC like espressif does.

Any other guesses as to why they might've gone this route?
It's not a difference in philosophies, it's different stages of development and testing.

Starship and Starliner are very different things. Starship is the launch vehicle and a novel one (as in, it's not just a rebuild of an existing system, it's got new components and design elements). The failures we've seen so far were all, to some extent, expected though the particular modes of failure may not have been anticipated. They were launched with the intent of discovering the failure modes and responding to them with changes to design and manufacturing.

Starliner is now where Dragon Crew was with DM-2. Both tested with uncrewed flights and various test scenarios before their crewed flights. DM-2 and this flight are flights where nothing should go wrong. Failure, or critical failures at least, are unanticipated events. Otherwise you wouldn't be putting people in them yet (both vehicles are capable of operating autonomously, there's no reason to put a person in them if you aren't confident in the vehicle). The same philosophy applies to both Dragon Crew and Starliner at this stage.
World War II and the Noir Sensibility
I have a theory about this "Jobs-ism" (And now that he's dead, "Ives-ism"

---

Nobody was seemingly capable to say no to either jobs or ives.

Jobs was a visionary for a lot of UX items - however, and this is my opinion-- He was heavily left handed (in thinking and physically) - thus a lot of his UX items are from A) position of supreme leader and B) his physical UX with all things come from a left-handed perspective, which is fantastic for certain things, poor for others)

and with Ive -- his over-powering desire to be the HW minimalist wreaked havoc on consumer wallets.

If he wasnt such a jerk about refusing a lanyard hook on the iphone - he cost consumer *billions* in cases, screens, etc.

Apples outright evil stance on connectors, and forcing their designs upon the consumers costs billions in wasted time, money, hardware, resources, angst etc...

I fn hate jonny ive's design decisions around the fragility of the iphones design for aesthetic.

Sure it has "gorilla glass" -- but a physical design that ensures that a single drop of the device kills it.

Then the decision to put inert glass panel on the REAR of the phone?

---

Had Ive ever stepped into any mall in Asia before and around the time the iphone came out he would have noticed the vast market for chotchky-lanyards that were sold in every cell store.

Those lanyard were *important* and there were so many stylings.

Basically - the folks at apple appear to have never been able to say "yeah, but" -- and no matter what anyone says - the market shows that they could not.

How many trillions of resources are in the trash because of aesthetic designs, and how many wasted human conscious hours due to frustratingly obtuse UX interaction have had.

There hasnt been an super-productive-revolutionary UX interactions that I feel macOS has given me?

(and I know its a cheap fn shot -- but for a visionary, releasing a touch only phone day-one without copy paste shows that UX was NOT the primary facto operandai -- but a profit operandai...

Ill die on my hill that jobs wasnt as truly a UX master as history writes himself to be. (Breakout anyone?)
Is anyone actually trying to stop you or others from developing the technology? IMO just ignore the haters doesn't sound like they can really do anything
I mean I think 90% of AI researchers in China, use English as the first choice for publication ... so not surprised?
The "big company clauses" as you say do solve most of those issues: they avoid burdening small enterprises with unreasonable amounts of regulation, but they ensure (very) big companies with huge influence which act for all purposes as public platforms, and not merely as "normal" companies which happen to be very big, do have extra impositions.
If this study is accurate, then people in China don't need to worry about microplastics in water because they're already boiling all of their drinking water. It would be very convenient for them if this was true, which doesn't make it wrong but does make it somewhat suspicious.
I have definitely heard it from parents, some kids get really insufferable during holiday season with all the frantic toy ads on tv (back when they still watched tv, I guess).
one issue that comes to mind is the nature of the determinant. when one considers the determinant defined by the recursive definition, it seems like a highly contrived object that is difficult to work with (as it is from that definition!). avoiding that confusion requires that a lot more scaffolding be built (ala Axler in the "Done Right" book). either way you have some work: either to untangle the meaning of the weird determinant or get to the place where you can understand the determinant as the product of the eigenvalues.

Public sector economics and health economics generally. The principles discussed are fundamental to both subdisciplines and should be covered in the introductory chapter(s) of a basic textbook on the subject.

I'd used a textbook by Joseph Stiglitz several decades ago whilst at uni, and there should be an updated version of it out.

I think this might be it or close: Economics of the Public Sector, Fourth Edition. By Joseph E Stiglitz (Author, Columbia University), Jay K Rosengard (Author, Harvard University).

<https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393925227>

The table of contents looks promising, particularly chapter 5.

Also at: <https://search.worldcat.org/title/39485400>

You might also find this in Handbook of public economics by Alan J. Auerbach, Martin S. Feldstein, Raj Chetty, and Emmanuel Saez.

Yeah, I saw that video and many others long before it was posted here. I stand by my comment, which is based on experience and reviewing the work of professional drainage installers on YouTube.

No one is doing soil tests for these unless they are installing huge critical commercial infrastructure.

I agree on all fronts. This parallels the last time I looked at, and gave up building a backend for LLVM. And that was after giving up doing the same for GCC. Those codebases are _impenetrable_.

It's clear as mud how one would hook a jumbo codebase into the REPL. If it's possible, that would be a game changer.
I dont have xp with livewire, but htmx has been really powerful and expressive for what I want to do with my Django app. By comparison, I also work in a typescript/nextjs codebase, which dumps a whole plethora of unnecessary side concerns on the developer, preventing them from actually focusing on application logic and the external problem to be solved

Htmx has been such a breath of fresh air by comparison, because i just need to worry about request/response patterns. It is orders of magnitude easier to reason about htmx, versus nextjs’s frustratingly inscrutable code patterns.

“Ability to be reasoned about” is far more important to me as a developer using any technology, than almost anything else, including purported performance benefits that many react-based frameworks claim to have
I'm currently working on a Rust v3 client, and have been reading the Go v3 source code, and the code definitely is hard to follow so I would be unsurprised if there were issues lurking.
I took LinAlg the same semester I took Computer Graphics, back in 2001. The first half of LinAlg was all about solving equations, transformation matrices and that sort of stuff, and the first half CG was all 2D drawing (Bresenham and such). Second half of CG was all about OpenGL, and I was able to apply all the stuff I'd just learned in LinAlg.

The second half of LinAlg was a bunch of stuff about Eigenthis and Eigenthat, with no particular explanation as to what you'd use it for or why you would care. I pass the class with an A and was even recommended by the instructor to be work as a tutor for other students, but 23 years later I couldn't tell you the use of any of that stuff.

T-matrices, though - I've used that stuff my whole career, working in medical imaging and related fields. I still couldn't tell you what an Eigenvalue or Eigenvector is useful for, as I never had any reason to apply that stuff.

It's not particularly abstract if you can explain why and how this stuff is used - and I know it's heavily used in many fields - just not those that I've worked in.
> When applied, Terraform code would spin up a template of what the service should look like by creating an ECS task set with zero instances. Then, the developer would need to deploy the service and clone this template task set [and do a bunch of manual things]

> This meant that something as simple as adding an environment variable required writing and applying Terraform, then running a deploy

This sounds less like a problem with ECS and more like an overcomplication in how they were using terraform + ECS to manage their deployments.

I get the generating templates part for verification prior to live deploys. But this seems... dunno.
There is no peace in this thread. It grieves my heart.
Creating carbon negative materials with ancient microbes
I looked at both before knowing which was which. Immediately I recognized the look of the top right photo, whereas the bottom right didn't quite seem to have "the look". So, I think it might be that it looks better to you because it looks more like how a photo looks. It's similar to how younger people may prefer 60fps or weird settings on TV shows that give it the "soap opera effect" vs how older people can't stand them.

After switching back and fourth and really looking closely at each one I ended up deciding that I liked the bottom right photo, even though I could recognize the top right one had a more classic film look. For me it was just because there was more detail in the colors. The original scan was kind of washed out in the blues I guess, as well as being a little more red in the dirt area.
