I think they are called toasts because they pop up from the bottom, similar to a piece of toast popping out of a pop-up toaster oven.

I used these to display errors in an internal web app once, which was a major mistake. The users almost never saw them and when they did they didn't see them long enough to be able to communicate what the message said, often trying to paraphrase.

I agree they are bad UX for most things.

To those concerned about the analytics like myself, you should be able to turn it off by setting the default here to false. Otherwise you'd need to toggle it off in the settings, which gives ample time for telemetry to fire.

I wonder if that explains the behavior of some people I know that seem to chronically choose the worst decision any chance they get. They may just be rebelling against what the obviously good decision would be.
It's reasonable to me. Therefore, it should justify me stealing one.

I think it's called a toast because it (usually) appears by jumping from one of the edges, like a piece of toast jumps from the toaster.

How a Law That Shields Big Tech Is Now Being Used Against It
At least in the United States, the government has the ability to and a history of stepping in for the employee to ensure they are reimbursed, and court cases _very frequently_ side with the employee.

FTA: There are some interesting designs here - and they work, but they often require careful tuning. As well as finding a good compromise for the delay time, using too much inter-channel mixing can lock the delays together so they act like a cohesive unit, which isn't great for longer tails.

Made me wonder whether there’s a connection with linear feedback shift registers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register)

If you have a LFSR that produces a decent but not too good pseudo-random signal, can you use its parameters to create a decent reverb?

Many of those you mentioned are still part of the goal of getting a human on the moon. That's like saying Starliner's Demo flights don't count as human-rated because they were uncrewed. About a one third to one half of NASA's budget is dedicated to exploration and space operations which is a better comparison for what you're driving at. The rest is spread across science, aeronautics, environmental, educational outreach, and other goals.

> Yeah but I tend not to care about the opinions of people who wish racial slurs had a more prominent place in modern society.

As a black American, I'm forced to care about the efforts of people to retcon pervasive racism out of history, or relegate it to one-dimensional "bad guys." This will not save my children from racism, instead it will make them absolutely bewildered by the pervasive racism they will face, and make them blame themselves.

Rewriting crimes out of history does not help victims, it helps perpetrators.
Some of the worst mistakes that I saw were from over-reaction in an active incident.

One of my programming mantras is "no black magic." If I don't understand why something works, then it's not done.

I take this same approach to an incident. If someone can't coherently identify why their suggestion will have an impact, I don't think they should do it. Now there may come a time that you need to just pull the trigger on something, but as I think back I'm not sure that was ever the case in the end.

It was wild to see the top brass—normally very cool and composed—start suggesting arbitrary potential fixes during an incident.

That was why it was done that way in languages developed in the 1970s. But, as kerkeslager points out, that logic doesn't work for an enterprise programming language from the 2000s.

We don't actually need to speculate on this. Don Syme has explicitly said that this was a deliberate language design decision meant to discourage the big ball of mud antipattern. And the language maintainers continue to cite this as the reason why they don't change this behavior even though they easily could.
Are any of the Chinese airframes certified for use in EU or USA? If not, is that 100% political, or is the engineeing/QC not up to standards (which is a bit of a LOL given the context of the question)?
While their general recommendations don’t work so well for me, following people I regularly saw writing mini reviews on stuff I bought has worked pretty well to discover older stuff or releases I simply missed (I listen to most new stuff that is up my alley every release Friday anyway). The mini-reviews also help narrow down if it’s even something I want to check out, which works better for me than people who buy without those.

What P vs. NP is about
Funny thing is the original _text_ probably didn't even exist. Mainstream theory is that Iliad was a purely oral tradition at first and was written down (not written) a few decades or centuries later. The sack of Troy happened shortly before the Late Bronze Age Collapse which among other things destroyed the Greek writing system now known as the Linear Script B. The Greek Alphabet had only appeared 3 centuries later and the period in between is often referred as the "Greek Dark Ages", since there was no writing system for the Greek language at that time.

One way to see Iliad is as a bard's song about lost good time before the apocalypse -- when Greek cities were mighty, trade flourishing, armies big etc.

Well yes but the squares are the same. The king starts on E1 by definition, even if the board is turned around so that the markings would indicate it starts on D8.

I remember when people said this about Java (and Scratch), and what we ended up with 10 years later was a bunch of outsourced work to foreign dev shops. You won't get replaced by 8-year-olds, at least here in America. You'll be replaced by the cheapest labor with access to The New Hotness.

Do toasters have bad UX?
The core problem is that toasts always show up far away from the user's attention. Hacker news, surely we can find a better way to toast our breads?

Hear me out.

= The Problems with toasters =

The entire interaction is quite jarring:

- I push down the lever on the side of the device
- There is often little to no indication that something started processing and that bread is heating up; I need to look inside of the device to see if something is really heating
- The toast is delayed without a loading indicator
- The toast appears on the top of the toaster, despite lever being located on the side

= The Solution: No Toast =

Just eat your breakfast without bread, or eat your bread fresh, instead of toasting it.

= It Could be Worse =

What's worse than a toast? No breakfast at all. Don't skip it.

p.s. this post is intended as lighthearted satire!

Full stops in text messages. Full stops connote a formality in a medium that's otherwise casual. That can suggest a level of anger or irritation.

This is hardly news, of course. And the article is full of links to old sources. There's a nice discussion of this in Gretchen McCullough's 2019 book Because Internet.

It's interesting to note the way conventions like this arise. And it will continue to evolve. But it's not really any different from any other bit of linguistic evolution.

Equally, if your team is going to store 500GB vendored components it doesn't matter if that's all in one place or smeared many repos. You still have the same issue.
>when the average span between arrivals is N

Who is arriving in the first part of the sentence? At first I thought he meant the bus arrival, thus N = 10, and 2N would be 20. But then he says

>The average wait time is also close to 10 minutes, just as the waiting time paradox predicted.

10 isn't 20 so ???

Assuming these users are real people, it seems notable that spontaneously someone replying includes an example Waymo having to send out support to remove some cones in a parking lot so the car could move.

I have been wondering how long these programs continue to be funded without some change in the interest rates and overall investment climate, because it really seems like just a cursory analysis of these various self-driving car programs does not reveal something profitable in near-term, especially as they get larger they are going to run into what I call the "city bus" problem, where people leave garbage and other really disgusting messes in the vehicle.
The people who secretly rewrite literature do not take a vote from readers before they do it. They "know better." They'll tell you that it's really just administrative, they're "updating the language."

Show HN: Tree-sitter Integration for Swift
I have created a Swift package (https://github.com/daspoon/tree-sitter-kit) enabling tree-sitter parsers to be written in Swift; specifically, as an array of production rules which map symbol types to pairings of syntax expression and type constructor. A member macro derives a tree-sitter grammar and embeds the generated parser in its expansion.

This project is a work in progress, and I will be grateful for any feedback.

Thanks,

Forget No‐Code. The Future Is All‐Code (Thanks to LLMs)
It surprises me that so many people, when they are not working, do “nothing.” I think it's mostly a matter of the need for validation, which, in my experience, is particularly prevalent in the United States. People need reassurance that they are somehow competent, that they are needed, and that they are somehow contributing to a group, a small society, which most of the time is--isn't that crazy--a corporation. If that validation is not there, they think they are doing "nothing".

A question I often ask people is, “If they paid you the same salary you earn now, but without working (i.e., you don't work, you can do whatever you want with your life, but you can't be compensated for your work), would you take the deal?”
I'm surprised, maybe bewildered is a more appropriate term, that many people say they wouldn't, and they explain it by saying they like what they do, their colleagues, etc. And maybe I'm the odd one out, the eccentric one, but there are so many languages I'd like to learn, races I'd like to run, places I'd like to visit, sports, and skills and crafts I'd like to become proficient in. And I couldn't say no to all that for what, an IC, a middle manager position that one day is there and the next day is eliminated by the CFO/CTO/C-whatever? A position where they would barely remember my name a week after I left?

But many strongly feel this need for validation, which they never seem to have overcome in their younger years, when the ancestral fear of not being appreciated by their parents and thus being abandoned took hold in their souls.
Agreed. Check out all the popular historical war documentaries on YouTube. They are labeled "simplified, learn in 10 minutes etc", also use childlike cartoons. Never any interviews with real world experts.

It's almost like the concept of making technology easy enough for a child to use has spread to other areas.
Jam Handy films were amazing. You could show this to an audience who was morally opposed to learning about differentials and they’d still learn about differentials.
Sometimes it's less work to engineer a hard problem into an easy one, than to solve the hard problem.

Most of the tech for the Minuteman I was developed in the mid-1950s.

With that level of processing, would you rather solve a 2d problem by precisely orienting the missile before launch? Or a 3d one by requiring it to orient during flight?

Keep in mind: any equipment to self-orient in-flight also needs to be carried on the missile itself, while being tolerant of launch, acceleration, and reentry forces.

Any precision machinery at the launch site has no such requirements.
A mantra I heard recently that has been helping me with my own 3AM panics was "None of this matters and we're all gonna die". A bit Nihilist maybe, but has been helpful and just kind of removing the weight of the situation
Damn, this is a pet peeve of mine. A supposedly-objective article simply assuming the results of an old debate, when there was no actual conclusion to it (and thus the situation is a lot more nuanced than the article implies). It's like doing the whole "history is written by the winners" thing but way too early.

When you notice it, you'll realize that it happens everywhere. Good media is rare (understandable, given how we don't like to pay for it), media tends to be slop or activism. Wikipedia is actually pretty terrible at being objective about controversial topics, too[1]...

An honest assessment would get less clicks and thus less revenue for whoever is publishing on the topic.

You need to lean all in on either the “he’s a toxic male” narrative or the “woke leftists are ruining everything” narrative for your website to make money.
I was poking around to understand how this was not caught in a test - any ordinary fetch call could have triggered the error, and besides how poor coverage it has for all the ways `fetch` can be used, it seems excessive mocking may have played a part: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-js/blob/main/src/__tests_...

The whole fetch and XHR functions are mocked and become no-ops, so obviously this won't catch any issues when interacting with the underlying (native or otherwise) libraries. They have Cypress set up so I don't see why you'd want to mock the browser APIs.
I found the textbook example interesting, where the co-author with experience thought it would take 7+ years, and everyone else thought it would take about 2.

That makes a lot of sense to me, because I wrote a textbook in about 2 years. But...

There are textbooks and there are textbooks. My book covers exactly what I need for my class, has no publisher (students download it from the class website), and doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that a publisher would demand. I can easily see how a "real" textbook would take over 3x as long.

So part of the lesson of the authors' textbook is a standard software development lesson - there's a huge gap between a working prototype and a shipping product, and even if that prototype does everything you think the product needs to do, (a) you're wrong, and (b) you may be less than halfway to the point where you can ship.
It still says this in the README yes. But unordered lists should work. I'm still adding things. My view of RSS is somewhat biased because I use newsboat as my RSS reader, which is text only. Feel free to share ideas!
If you are doing a single core virtual machine, the hypervisor is properly implemented, and you can change the hypervisor then it is fairly straightforward. You just funnel everything through a single guest memory write function and then instrument that.

Unfortunately, virtual machines are basically only ever used in multicore configurations which are fundamentally unconstrained multithreading which makes record-replay based (versus full trace based) implementations impossible (or at least very challenging) unless you serialize.

The device driver interface is most likely going to be trapping accesses and communicating back via asynchronous shared memory writes if not pass-through or paravirtualized. I suspect most hypervisor implementations will not even allow you to intercept/trace those operations externally, and if they do it is likely going to be hard to sequence them relative to VM execution/instruction stream as they are rooted in a shared memory interface.

If they are paravirtualized, or just in general, the hypercall interface is also usually very ad-hoc and ill-defined and also likely not possible to intercept or trace. The scope is probably going to be more like trying to represent the effects of every random vendor-specific ioctl.
This seems more to say that the average time of all passengers waiting will be close to the interval, but that the average time for any individual in a given stop will be closer to half? (Similarly, if you are discussing the longest time you will wait throughout the day and you have multiple stops you have to wait at, it will drift up to the the interval time.)

That is, they sound like similar questions, but they are not. How long can one random person expect to wait at a stop is different from how long a population will wait at a given spot. In large because a person can only arrive at a single time in the waiting interval, but more passengers become less likely the closer to departure time.

(I realize I didn't word all of this as a question, but I am not asserting I'm correct here. Genuinely curious if I understand correctly.)

The conflict is genuine, but minor. Online chat has an evolving set of standards. People of different ages use it differently. That creates a chance for miscommunication.

But it's not as if Gen Z is out rioting in the streets, or we boomers are constantly on edge for fear that we've used the wrong emoji. (Note: I'm Gen X, but we're regularly lumped in with the boomers.)
If you're going to be doing anything with it where strict timing is a concern (like bit-banging some random protocol), USB isn't going to cut it.

But yeah, if you don't care about timing, that will work.
Okay, let's assume we take every last dollar from every billionaire in the U.S. regardless of the legality, feasibility, or morality. We now have $5.5 trillion dollars.

This would more than double the current $4.2 trillion in funds and extend the runway to bankruptcy ~10 years. That's not nothing, but it's a move you can only place once as no one with any chance of being impacted would stay around.
A trampoline is less efficient theoretically because it implies that you must check a condition and that you can't make an unconditional tail-call. It's also not quite equivalent since it's a non-local compilation technique requiring the caller to do something differently.

It's completely different than the story with tail recursion which can be essentially reduced to syntactic sugar over a normal loop (just change the parameters to be mutable variables).
Thanks for the explanation. Can't wait to see the code when you open it up!

The problem is that toasting is too deterministic. Users have gotten used to adjusting their toaster to suit the toast they want, when in reality they should be open to radical suggestion from an agent knowledgeable on the topic of toast. A copilot, if you will.

What the industry desperately needs; no, what every kitchen needs; is a private and safe integration with a next-generation machine learning platform. I want you to think, "ChatGPT of bread" here. There's a huge amount of capital being invested in both toaster innovation and LLM technology, which is the perfect opportunity to capitalize on some underbaked synergy.

Obviously, we'll need a sort of "Core Toaster Fee" to ensure users don't accidentally use the toaster for something other than branded bread. Perhaps a bread-DRM could be invented to avoid these sorts of toast crimes, so our bread manufacturers could better protect their IP and prevent users from poisoning themselves on such follies as homemade bread.

Very skeptical of the thesis here. The practical limit is the sampling theorem and the bit resolution, not “computability.”

It is possible that there are persons who can resolve a 25th bit or be disturbed by aliasing associated with the sample rate chosen. But again, there is a bigger effect. It is well known that audiophiles like “warmth” which has often been attributed to analog saturation effects. But ultimately, what enters your ear is analog. It should be possible to design a digital system that reproduces this warmth at the analog ear, compensating for all harsh effects before detection.
