As for third-party: almost everything is third-party online. I agree with that if you don't want to use software using third party services (be it AWS/GCloud or OpenAI), you shouldn't use it (I don't, I keep my notes locally). But that's now what the comment said.

Sure, it is a risk. You could be wrong and then they sue you. Now you have to prove it. Better to just say that you're firing them and that is all. If they don't know the reason, they can't effectively sue you.
I found this quite uncomfortable to read because of the complete lack of capitalisation - it's a very odd choice.

I’ve noticed lately that contactless payments that go over the limit don’t require chip insertion, the reader just asks for the PIN to proceed. Maybe there’s been some updates to the standards?

The language is deliberately pretty small. "Advanced usage" will tend to have to do with the problem domain and solution architecture rather than with the language.

Note also that food levels of magnesium are estimated to have declined by up to 80% in the past century (possibly due to more intensive farming with modern fertilizers). So magnesium deficiency is also likely more widespread now than historically.
What I found better about it was the algorithm-free browsing experience. You would just look at the shelves and decide what to watch. The movies were broken down into basic genres, and sometimes there would be "staff picks" or something, but beyond that it was just you and the movies. This meant sometimes you watched really bad stuff, or good stuff, or stuff you wouldn't normally watch, or whatever.

No doubt there's a certain amount of nostalgia baked into these impressions. But definitely the thing I remember most fondly about that era was how decisions about things (movies, music, cereals, blenders, etc.) were made by looking at what was available and (maybe) doing a bit of research with external sources (like a "movie guide" book or whatever), rather than constantly wading through a morass of "recommendations", fake reviews, broken search functionality, and so on.
> goes in your USB A port on the laptop or dock and it just stays there

If it's always there, then why isn't it just a file on the disk? Why should I need to buy a new piece of hardware and permanently sacrifice one of my USB ports. Client certs have been the "something you own" for decades and the main problem with them was that using them didn't involve any JavaScript, which is blasphemy in modern web dev and so they were killed (with the help of EU bureaucrats). And now that basically every computer has a TPM, you can even satisfy the "not extractable" requirement, which was the only actual advantage of a yubikey.
Well as far as I know there was no loss of functionality from the bypass, so either the requirement is completely arbitrary to deprecate old devices or there will be new features in the future that depend on the TPM.
> It's the fact that the company makes it's money from selling ads.

this is true, but it did not at all affect how 90% of the company worked. the ads teams made money and everyone else did whatever, supported by that infinite firehose of cash.

a large part of the reason google has sucked (internally and externally) for the last few years is that this changed.
For 1, there might be settings that can help.

I used to use mplayer(of which mpv is a fork) to watch pirate streams of premier league games several years ago, via acestream. Since this was live, lag was a real issue; you can't buffer ahead when there's nothing to buffer yet. Eventually I figured out that mplayer had settings to do things like buffer for 2 minutes at the beginning of the stream before playing. You could also configure it by megabytes pre-buffered. This solved my lag issues very neatly. I can't remember what the settings were, it's been a long time and I don't have those config files anymore. But it should all be in the docs somewhere.

Part of it might come from Longhorn and it’s attempt to use garbage-collection (“managed language”) at its core.

> The dev said they are happy to accept patch for this feature.

Did they? Because I read a bunch of the thread and “happy” is he last word I’d use to describe the developer’s sentiment. All I see is “let’s see you provide a patch, and I don’t believe you will”.

Everything about it screams that if a patch were provided, they’d do anything in their power to find reasons for refusal.

Even if I cared about VLC, reading those replies guarantees I would never attempt to submit the patch.
It was sarcasm. I’m sure I’m not a sociopath.
For language acquisition: find a partner who speaks the other language and wishes to learn yours, then converse with each of you using your L2, falling back to L1 only when circumlocution fails or to make corrections.

(then how do you practise listening to your L2? Eavesdropping, ancillary encounters, news, movies, etc. give plenty of opportunity, but speaking requires you to make an extra effort.)
Yeah all these consumer-grade air quality sensors are nothing more than a Sensirion SPS30 or a Plantower PMS5003 and a Wi-Fi module in a box.

To get more than just that you need to look at professional-grade indicative AQ sensors such as https://clarity.io/ and https://www.aeroqual.com/

These are what government agencies and municipalities use for dense sensor networks. E.g. https://www.breathelondon.org/

Okay. So now you, individually, may be able to attribute some sort of responsibility in some sort of civil action.

Penalties that companies care about aren’t going to be built around some very non-standard individual’s ability to maybe, sometimes, attribute blame.

> You scored 11/15. The best language model, llama-2-7b, scored 10/15.

I see that you get a random quiz every time, so results aren't comparable between people. I think I got an easy one. Neat game! If you could find a corpus that makes it easy for average humans to beat the LLMs, and add some nice design, maybe Wordle-style daily challenge plus social sharing etc, I could see it going viral just as a way for people to "prove" that they are "smarter" than AI.
that's an extremely stupid way to judge someone, especially given Google's IP contract.
If the company was seen as a competitors to Yahoo, it looked reasonable to shut it down. The VCs invested in several companies that had a promising direction, then shut down all but one that was growing fastest and grew biggest.
I'm both the main user and only developer -- so I try to do grug way first in user experience, then in development. I think I've realized that no matter what you set out to do, it gets insanely complex. But user experience is more important to keep simple than anything else imo. But you're right, everyone has their own definition of grugness.
That's what passkeys are.
This is why constitutions exist, and courts to prevent breaches of those constitutions. This is why judges are often appointed, especially top ones, so that a change in government does not mean all checks and bounds are immediately gone. This is also why many countries have multiple legislative houses, so that one election cannot give unlimited power to one legislative house.

Thus it takes longer to slide into an undemocratic state, and checks and bounds are slower to change than a simple election. In essence, laws passed in such democracies becomes the will of the people over decades, not one election.

If a democracy has a will to move towards undemocratic rule, and it takes decades to get there, then really the people have failed themselves.

I don't think auto-completing a code-word leaks any information, since the set of code-words is fixed.

Just think of each word as being one character from a large-ish alphabet.

Code-words are used so that the one time secret can be easily remembered or shared over a voice channel.
> That whole event was triggered by the "hanging chad" nonsense found in the poorly designed paper ballots that led to ambiguity.

You say nonsense but wikipedia says:

"a statewide recount would have shown that Gore received the most votes, according to the Florida Ballot Project."

So it seems that election result was changed successfully by machines.

That would not have happened with regular vote counting.

> In a paper only ballot by definition will take longer and leaves the door open for every election to be challenged.

Paper and counting with observers is much harder to compromise and more efficient then some machines. (see EU parliament elections)

Alas, you still argue machines are better when there's precedent of them changing an election result.

I don't have anything more to add here, thanks for the discussion, was interesting digging through wikipedia on this.
SK Hynix to develop 4F2 DRAM to reduce cost
A joke in American universities:

The professor is interrupted in the middle of his lecture by a student who asks about one of the previous week's problems:

— Could you please work an example for us?

— No problem!

The professor writes a problem statement, then scratches his head, tugs on his collar, rubs his chin, and at last scribbles a complicated integral on the board.

— There you go!

— Excuse me, professor, but could you please be a little more explicit?

— What do you want from me? I just did the problem 3 different ways.
thanks for the heads up. Lowered max concurrent requests and a couple of other small changes. It's not totally solved, but it mostly staying up and seems to come back quickly when it fails. Suppose I need to learn how to load test in the future. :)

What I find surprising more that the usual lack of accountability in these cases is how little its impact tends to be felt on Wall Street. A slight dip in the share price maybe for a week or so, but then it's back to business as usual.

Same or very similar stuff is used to cut plaster casts for broken bones. You see that small circle rotating next to your veins in legs and there is suddenly some tension in the room. Especially when saw seems to keep stopping when cutting through plaster for no good reason, causing some confusion for the doctor and making him lean more heavily into it.

Afterwards they realize that harder resin casing was layered with soft fabric by previous orthopedic surgeon in previous hospital, so the thing actually worked as intended (but if you keep pressing power button and leaning into it it will keep cutting). Talking about hospital equipment in Switzerland, 2 weeks ago after a nasty paraglider crash landing.

None of those things landed people in jail. The US, from a law standpoint, has had the strongest free speech protections of almost any country in history.

I'm sad to hear that the DIY Basic is "discontinued for now", rather than just "out of stock". I built mine about a year ago and I'm quite happy with it. (I later got the "ONE indoor kit" for my parents, since it has a nicer case included.) But I understand if the customer support (and PR ...) were too difficult to deal with for this particular offering.

It is rather open hardware... I notice now there are "gerbers" of the DIY basic PCB that you make available, so I should be able to order PCBs from PCBWay or JLC-PCB, and the other sensors and parts directly from you or from AliExpress. Though if not for that DIY Basic kit you offered before, I'd consider the project a bit risky for my level of design/part-sourcing. So, thanks!
He was insanely handsome for any era, and in actual manly way (spent some time fighting in Indochina, say equivalent of US Vietnam veteran, when folks don't talk about such stuff you know they have reasons).

Couple that with very good acting skill, good luck on some stellar directors of that time and you end up with timeless pieces which are very watchable even after 50-60 years.

Great comment! I been developing web applications for almost 20 years. I've been working on several frameworks within PHP, Python, Ruby, Elixir and Java.

And after all these years I have settled on Spring Boot. Because it is mature, stable, fast and well documented. There are other frameworks that claims they are faster, but I've spent 10x more time just getting my stuff to work. I really do not have time for that as my focus is delivering business value. One Spring monolith scales really well on a Epyc server.

I disagree with having the ordering embedded into the map implementation. That imposes an unnecessary performance overhead to support a small subset of use cases.

I think what the author requires is iterating over a sorted list of keys. That is pretty easy to implement using the standard library, and imposes the performance penalty only when it is needed.
I suspect that depends on which of the 200 definitions of "consciousness" you're using. And some other broad range of definitions of "reasoning".

These are supreme court judges who openly and publicly showboat about being the ones personally responsible for defeating Bolsonaro. They literally said things like "mission given, mission accomplished" after the election was over. I saw news where one of them said he was proud to be partidarian. They've also said that Lula being elected was due to decisions of the supreme court.

And you would have us believe they did not favor Lula in any way whatsoever.

How the Lean language brings math to coding and coding to math
Far from me to defend the whole mpv team[1], but the dev in that thread is a ghost (deleted user). I remember them, they were always rude and eventually got kicked out of the project and loudly complained about “being removed from the project [they] created”. I never found the exact reason why, though I can’t help but think the attitude had something to do with it.

[1] Some are quite nice and competent. Others are exceedingly rude and will e.g. jump on an issue that had thus far been entirely cordial just to, without provocation, insult users for using whatever OS they don’t like.

Such advice is dangerous in the assumption that there is only one type of problem in programming. One type of domain - applications related to the computer and data sciences and computing infrastructure.

While GIT might be particularly about data structures at it’s core, might I suggest you don't try to model into code your next complex payroll, insurance quotation, supply-chain or billing system as a composable set of lists, stacks, queues and trees, modified by code that grows over time to increasingly looking like a big ball of mud.

> What are better alternatives to write JavaScript than TS? Elm and flow are not.

Why do you want to write javascript ? Most self-respecting programming languages have a javascript backend (Let's list a few pretty ones: Rust, OCaml, Haskell). There's no need to manually generate javascript and you can treat it like you would treat assembly language: something you don't want to touch 99% of the time.
