Of the few criminal cases I sat through usually it's nothing like what you see on TV. There is no brilliant dialog or smoking gun evidence. The defense simply raises objections or asks sensible questions. If they did their job right they might not have to say much at all. You thinking the prosecution doing a terrible job is the defense attorneys job!

Typically what happens is the defendant doesn't exercise their constitutional right to shut the fuck up. The only statement you should give is: "I don't consent","my lawyer","I'm remaining silent".
Just because the "Hi" part is categorical rather than numeric and has a low cardinality doesn't make it any less of a Hi/Lo scheme. This is my own classification, but I think I've read at least one blog where the author called similar prefixes a Hi/Lo scheme

The prefixes are primarily used to create human-readable IDs, which will help avoid human errors and make debugging easier for developers

The original purpose of the Hi/Lo algorithm[1] was mainly to allow the client side to generate PKs in batches (as a performance optimization, offline operation, or building entire data structures on the client side), all of which can be replaced today by UUIDs/ULIDs and the like

Yeah that's good idea, thanks for the suggestion.
I even went out and bought a puzzle book while building this, so it's definitely not something most people have around.
Makes sense. Too bad :(

I'm just grateful the devs also put it on GFN on launch day, where it's playable at 120 fps at ultra settings.

Think I still prefer the simpler 2D graphics of the first game, though... it was charming :)
> They get to choose how the world sees their creation

Then they should not publicize it. They could license only to Google, but Google isn't interested. Instead, publishers need to publicize, which is... expected? Once they publicize, they can't claim the public is not allowed to read. It's like sharing a printed newspaper with my friends. Publishers shouldn't be able to prevent it.

The article is full of photos pointing to Mark. These could be considered as evidence for the author. But it's actually questionable.
> And sometimes we’re not sure if what we’re seeing even is an error. The following passage, from Philip K. Dick, displays a lot of creative use of language, but the “zommed” in the third line — while matching the print book — seems a bit suspect. Should it be “zoomed”? How can we know?

Strictly for possible typos: if the author is alive, ask them, otherwise leave it.

> Sometimes a book is completely accurate at the time of publication, but becomes factually inaccurate over time, giving the wrong dates for the beginning of daylight saving time or an incorrect planetary status for Pluto.

> Should we fix these factual errors? Do we need the author’s input? What if the author is dead, the agent is retired, and the editor has left the company? Should we fix them silently or with some kind of editorial note?

> Then there’s the case where the content of a book is not incorrect, per se, but may have become outmoded or offensive.... What do you do here? Do you update the language that’s incidental to the content of the book? Does it matter who you think is buying this — whether it’s people who want the diet advice or people who are researching the historic participation of Asian Americans in diet programs?

No. A book should capture an author's intent/concept/idea at the time it was written and those intents/concepts/ideas should be frozen.
There is an extremely elegant solution to this modified question as well. In fact, it is always possible to fill a chessboard with dominoes with two squares of opposite color removed, by a very straightforward method (Gomory's Theorem). See Problem 2 at https://www.cut-the-knot.org/do_you_know/chessboard.shtml and note that the result generalizes to any bipartite Hamiltonian graph, such as any rectangular grid with an even number of cells.

(Much more generally, Hall's marriage theorem characterizes which finite bipartite graphs have a perfect matching, and there are polynomial-time algorithms to compute maximum cardinality matchings in arbitrary finite graphs.)

Medieval Polymath Who Paved the Way for the Renaissance and Holistic Thinking
“And nobody knows why” is such a clickbait term it’s practically a meme these days.

If we actually think about it, a vast amount of knowledge in the world around us is still to be discovered. So we really should learn to curb our instinct to lean into a “shocking mystery” just because something is flagged as an unknown.
The US Navy's old training materials are fantastic for learning about various technologies.

I think their masterpiece is "Basic Hand Tools" a handbook written in plain English that describes the use of practically every hand tool ever invented.

"Basic Hand Tools" on the hammer:

>Whoever conceived the idea of cracking a nut with a rock unknowingly invented a tool. When a later genius tied a stick to the rock, he invented the first hammer. There have been a lot of improvements since that humble beginning.

The modern version "Tools and Their Uses" also covers machine tools but is less fun.
For forecasting with no agency involved this makes sense, but when you’re executing a project things get trickier. The hard part is finding appropriate reference classes to learn from while also not overlooking unique details that can sink your specific project.
fixed, thanks again!
Yes. For example: while OP uses a magnifier, lots of other people use a screen reader. "Loading indicator disappeared" is a tricky thing to communicate clearly with audio. "Toast: save successful" is trivial.
You have also used a catch-all, but yours was personal and rude. The rest of your point is useful…just please remember that there are real people typing words into this app.

To respond to your point,

(1) is it a PITA because it’s hard to see something in the periphery or for some other reason?
(2) Is there an example of a web app that you’ve noticed provides feedback very well?
(3) would you consider a toast acceptable when the UX designer doesn’t consider the information critical? As in…the user can safely assume their action was accomplished but a little feedback is a nice sugar.
FWIW it’s 199 source repos (excluding forks). Still insanely, wildly productive if even 25% of those are substantive projects!
> Your feelings from the time aren't relevant.

They weren't my feelings - they were anecdotes. Anecdotes from my experience and the experience of others who were actually there and highly engaged in the developer community at the time.

Go peddle your garbage somewhere else. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Toasts on smartphones are worse, it happens so incredibly often that YouTube obscures part of the video that I want to see with an unnecessarily large toast to tell me I did a thing. Most notably, switching quality. Or just now I enabled a beta test feature, it gave me a toast. Why?! I know what I did. The same if I click the same button again to disable the feature. At least you can dismiss them by dragging them down.
The native experience is pretty good. Most of the complaints I hear are from people coming from other operating systems and have different expectations, which is understandable, but that isn't always the fault of the operating system.

That said, Sequoia includes native window snapping and a password manager. Apple is slowly addressing the "problem."

> fixed point results can be compared exactly

You gain the ability to get stable results across machines, but there still necessarily exists a loss of precision, and different implementations of the same algorithm will get different results.

When would you want to compare fixed-point results bitwise though?
Hmm, I think if you could actually buy and own a movie download without DRM for a reasonable price then a lot of people who'd otherwise pirate a copy would pay for it.
I agree with post and don't like toasts either.

The thing is, they don't solve a UX problem as much act as a catch-all solution for "respond to user action". It is easier for orgs to shove everything in a toast than to think about more practical places to put the data.
> (a solar panel in my sunless basement has the same nameplate capacity as the same panel installed in the Sahara desert).

Isn't latitude taken into account by grid operators for determining their expected peak output? The owners would otherwise be installing bigger (more expensive) converters than needed, so they'd know this value at least roughly. Even smarter would be to include the angle etc. but not sure what detail it goes into compared to latitude which is a very well-known and exceedingly easy to look up value for an area

I certainly see your point about it not being apples to apples, but on a cloudless summer day, the output afaik genuinely would be the stated figure (less degradation and capacity issues). The country is small enough that it's also not unlikely that we all have a cloudless day at the same time

One might well expect some sun in summer and put some of the used-in-winter gas works into maintenance or, in the future, count on summer production of hydrogen— although hacks are likely a transient issue so I wouldn't foresee significant problems there
For anyone using Ruby who doesn't know ankane already, there are some very useful tools in his github ... like /disco which is a super simple collaborative filtering implemention if you want to quickly drop some recommendation in somewhere

Isn't it socially healthy to have that bias though? Like working at a start up is statistically unlikely to pay off in a huge way, but ideally you want most founders to think they can do that so they'll make the attempt?

GoTV does similar things but plays it explicitly: https://go101.org/apps-and-libs/gotv.html

I discovered the same thing, but when I saw the DMs I missed over the years I was glad to have missed them. They were all scammy.
No, it's 100% the parents. The parents are younger, and phone addicted too. And I don't know what happened in the past 20 ish years but parents are unbelievably entitled.

Many parents freak out if you take their kid's phone. That's not okay anymore, I guess. Detention doesn't really exist either because parents don't want it. Even summer school is just a suggestion at this point. Parents have bullied their local ISD's into being weak.
more than $100 for a lifetime; it is expensive :(. Please make it affordable.
This is pretty funny to hear coming from a photographer, considering photography had a very similar reaction from other "creatives"
> It is very tedious to context switch between my local environment and the in-container environment

I think, with my proposed setup, you'd still do development on your local machine. The containers would only be there for the dependencies, and as a shell to execute your code. The container hosting the application under development would use a volume to point to the files on your local machine, but the container itself (with all its permissions and configuration) would match or nearly match what you plan for the production environment.
It has nothing to do with the implementing technology but bad decisions of people. Nothing in particular from the GraphQL standard enables this.
They don't make that very clear on their webcasts at least.
Implicitly denying the controversy associated with the Implicit Association Test
It wouldn’t surprise me if there were fewer programmer who know of the overflow edge case (https://research.google/blog/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-n...) and will think of it when writing a binary search than programmers who know of it and will remember to prevent it.

If the implementation language doesn’t automatically prevent that problem (and that is fairly likely), the latter group likely would introduce a bug there.
>> Oh sad! Dang I actually really liked the feature, it's super convenient for keeping developer environments in sync. I left a comment in that thread asking for clarification.

Here is a slightly contrived, but realistic example of why it is a bad idea:

1) Attacker discovers vulnerability in an older version of the Rust toolchain
2) Attacker creates useful crate and helps it to get widely adopted or becomes trusted contributor to a crate that is already popular
3) Attacker creates and publishes crate changes with exploit code and rust-toolchain.toml to trigger use of older, vulnerable Rust toolchain
4) Unsuspecting developers build the trapped crate or something that depends on it and get owned

Installing toolchains automatically without the user's consent or permission is a supply chain attack in waiting for both Rust and Go.

Perhaps they could make it a configuration setting that developers could opt-in? That would let developers who want automatic toolchain installs to have it and others who do not want it (or whose employers will not allow it) to not have it.

It doesn't need to be resolved at input time. Protobuf wire format allows repetition. If we want to be more pedantic, Protobuf wire format doesn't have a concept of dictionaries / hash-tables however you want to call them. It only has lists. What IML defines as "map" is, in fact, a list of key-value pairs, so there's no problem with repetition on the technical level.

However, the interpretation of the payload does require removing repetition, and in a bad way: the compliant implementation must remove all but the last matching key-value pair.

It's just plain stupid. But this stupidity isn't unique to Protobuf. There are plenty of stupid formats like this one. For example VHD (Microsoft's VM image format) puts some information necessary to interpret the image in what they call "footer" (i.e. at the end of the file). MOV (Mac QuickTime videos) and at least early versions of MP4 created on Macs used to put some metadata in the end of the file, making it impossible to stream them.

Unfortunately, it happens a lot that people design binary formats for the first time, and then the format succeeds for unrelated reasons. We have tons of bad but popular formats. PNG is up there at the top of the list together with HTML and PDF. Oh, and don't mention PSD -- that one would probably take the cake when it comes to the product of how bad it is and how popular it is...
Is there a reason weather balloons can't be designed to stay aloft for much longer? is it really impossible to miniaturize gas separators in weight to replenish the lighter fraction of molecules to compensate for the slow leakage?
Thank you for the correction, but are you sure that is accurate? I was definitely under the impression that although their position was normally updated by the ground (to the AGC, via their uplink capability), and the sextant was normally used to determine their orientation, the astronauts could use their optical equipment and calculations to determine their position as well as their orientation, albeit it with less precision. This NASA website (https://www.nasa.gov/history/afj/compessay.html#:~:text=Opti...) seems to say as much:

"Optical navigation subsystem sightings of celestial bodies and landmarks on the Moon and Earth are used by the computer subsystem to determine the spacecraft's position and velocity and to establish proper alignment of the stable platform."

And Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_PGNCS):

"The CM optical unit had a precision sextant (SXT) fixed to the IMU frame that could measure angles between stars and Earth or Moon landmarks or the horizon. It had two lines of sight, 28× magnification and a 1.8° field of view. The optical unit also included a low-magnification wide field of view (60°) scanning telescope (SCT) for star sightings. The optical unit could be used to determine CM position and orientation in space."
> But it’s usually a huge waste of time.

Is it? I think at this point my company has probably saved millions of dollars by not paying for subscriptions, but hosting everything in-house. The price point of a lot of these services makes perfect sense when you are small, but paying 1M/year in subscription fees when you can host the same thing for 10k/year is just bonkers. I appreciate that someone has to pay for it for them to continue making the product, but there’s a point where it makes more sense for me to spend a year setting it up (and really only costs two weeks).

"Platoon" turns up military answers until I specify traffic. And I'm actually not at all sure what meaning of "HALO" you're referring to—it must be jargon not in my vocabulary, but for me it refers to a thing angels have and to a video game.

Again, it seems like you're inconsistent in applying your frustration with jargon. You're frustrated with jargon in an adjacent profession to yours, but don't seem to apply the same logic to professions that are entirely unrelated or to your own jargon.
That's the exact opposite model of what I built [1], because I view the phone as just as unreliable as desktop or laptop. Actually even less reliable, given my choice of workstation OS.

I went with a USB and BLE chip on the external side of my keyboard to connect to both workstation and phone to push the passwords, MFA, and encrypted text from the manager I built into the keyboard itself.

Well, a simple example: essentially all banks at least inside a nation have some standard open APIs, typically signed XML or JSON, to exchange transactions. In the EU/SEPA for instance is OpenBank API. All banks by laws support it and use it for transfers and so on. No one offer it to their customers. If something happen to your money APPARENTLY licit good luck proving it's not you. You are slave of a service and no law except mandating aforementioned APIs open for all, not just between banks, can really protect you because you can't prove it's not you but someone else who have done something with your money.

If your car crash onto a school group on a trip you might state "I've try braking and steering but the car does not respond" (for the rare all-by-wire models who start to appear) beside car logs and third party cam you have nothing to prove you are right. That's because the car it's not really yours but under the control of the OEM at a much deeper access than the limited you have. No laws can protect you except mandating FLOSS cars in their owner hands as he/she wish. Modern cars are services on wheels, you are a slave not knowing of your position.

If your emails are on GMail GDPR/HIPAA etc state you have some right, but gives no means to materially verify if Alphabet do not do something from training LLMs to analyses you messages for ads and so on. You are not on their servers and you have no right to inspection their infra. Even if you suspect something and file a complaint a Judge might command Google to share with a third party technician a certain set of infos, but no one can be sure they are true. Even an USA Judge inside USA, so in the same country of Alphabet can't do much to really know what happen on their servers, as you can't know what happen in your CPU, it's a closed source black box.

You can be "sure enough" only in technical terms "hey, my computer is not connected, It's composed of hw from different manufactures, running a FLOSS OS I know, ... maybe my files on it's storage are just mine", "the drive in my pocket it's mine, it can't leak data around being not connected with the rest of the world", but not more. If you give some data to a third party no one can really tell you what happen to your data.
