That's an arbitrary division of "one thing" though. You've decided the "one thing" includes the HTTP request and response, but it doesn't involve the socket call for that request and response. I'm not saying the test has to involve a network, or a network card, or anything like that, but perhaps a more accurate reflection of the "unit" to be tested is something that reads and writes to a channel or even a socket (and again, not necessarily a TCP/IP socket).

In reality, you're actually testing a bunch of method invocations that won't happen when the code is being used, and to do it, you're also breaking a lot of the contracts that one would otherwise expect to be maintained... maybe that's not the optimal way to do things.

Well, I disagree about never apologizing.

The mob can only do this if your apologies mean nothing. A good rule of thumb if someone's apologies mean nothing is, if they apologize every time, they don't mean it. Your apologies only mean something if you apologize when you know you were wrong.

So this tactic doesn't work if you only apologize when you mean it. If someone says "you stepped on my shoes" and you apologize, and then they say "you're a racist for stepping on my shoes" and you tell them to go fuck themselves, you'll never wind up in this situation, because you only apologize from the heart and not as a way to avoid problems or as a default stance when getting accosted.

Apologize. Only when you know you're wrong. Don't always apologize. Sometimes, you weren't wrong, and when someone insists that you say you were anyway, tell them to go fuck themselves.

I'm interested in environmental policy and dipped into reading the degrowth literature. IMO the review is correct, much of the academic degrowth literature is very weak--the field is more an activist movement rather than a scholarly one.

It's funny to think of applying degrowth to past environmental problems. Let's imagine it's 1900 and we are concerned about the sustainability of whale hunting, would degrowing the world's economy be the right approach then? Maybe that is too extreme, what about ozone depletion 50 years ago? Would strangling economic development & technological innovation back then lead to a desirable future?

I fed it yesterday's and it did essentially a perfect run, even though it wasn't certain about 1 of the words in the 3rd guess.

Today it got 1 error, but only because it correctly identified palindromes but there were 5 and it picked the wrong one, and it was its first guess. After that it swiftly found all the categories.

I also fed today's same prompt to the o1-mini and it just outright sucked, even repeated an incorrect guess immediately after being told it was wrong.
There's definitely quite a leap between the mini and the full o1.
All Unicode characters have their associated proposals [1] [2] which you can check them directly. In particular, some copyrighted characters that can't be made generic enough are indeed omitted, and everything else have received generic character names based on their appearances.

Yes, selective presentation of facts is one of the main methods of manipulations today.

The author of your link argues that the biased reporters are not necessarily evil. I think this is not the main concern for a reader. His main goal is to build a world view as adequate to reality as possible.

My take on how to approach that as a news consumer: https://avodonosov.blogspot.com/2024/09/scientific-method-fo...

Of course, some reporters are genuinely mistaken despite trying to do best reporting. Others are intentionally manipulative - no doubt that happens often too. But even they can think it is for good. And I agree with your author we should not translate this into hostility in the society by declaring all biased reporters as evil. But we can note their quality.

Speaking of npr.org, I can not decide conclusively from this single example whether they stay in the "decent quality" category. But it suggests they are ready to compromise on quality. It's not only the title that is misguiding. The article body is not keen to make the things clear. I suppose many readers left with a firm belief the man was really sentenced for the dot posted alone.

As always, round-trippability across different existing (though legacy) character sets has been a major factor in encoding them.
Well it’s fair considering people gave their content for free (which is by the way the promise made by OpenAI in the beginning, to be open)
These are cute, but another sign that Unicode is straying from their original mandate which was to represent characters already in use in other systems (and to help bootstrap under-digitized languages to become digital).

Stop adding random emoji. Don't add fictional languages, no matter how cool. Don't do.. this.

By continuing to extend Unicode like this, they risk diluting their core purpose and creating unnecessary complexity. Unicode should remain focused on its original goal and not cater to niche or novel additions.

EDIT: I'm certain there's a proposal submitter out there that contorted the argument beyond the reasonable point that these existed in an old Usborne programming book text as inline images and need to be represented. I'm going to try to hunt it down.

EDIT 2: The original proposal? https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf Some of the proposed characters might have come from an older submission as well https://unicode.org/L2/L2021/21234-terminals-smalltalk.pdf
These laws are a balancing act between heritage conservation and civil rights like allowing people to enjoy metal detecting as a hobby. Without these laws and effective enforcement of them, looters show up with bulldozers, metal detectors, and work crews in the middle of the night to dig up anything they can sell to what's now a billion dollar global market. I've spent a lot of time as an archaeologist looking at the aftermath and doing public education to stop it.

Antiquities laws are generally designed to make antiquities "visible" to the state while also giving authorities teeth if they need to go after these sorts of people. To do that, there's a whole host of laws and conventions that require reporting virtually everything and align the financial incentives/penalties to ensure valuations on any antiquities discovered are as reasonably accurate as possible. It makes things a little inconvenient for the hobbyists, but I personally find that a reasonable tradeoff given the damage that otherwise occurs.

I was kayaking on the Thames too (up in Richmond/Teddington), but on marathon/sprint kayaks which are very narrow and unstable, so most people in the kayaking club (hundreds of people!) flipped pretty regularly. We also went to swim from the pontoon in the summer every weekend for years. I can't recall anyone experiencing a persistent metallic taste, and I'm only aware of a single case of food poisoning in the club over the five years I was an active member, and that could be anything.

I do remember seeing seals, fishes, eels, kingfishers, herons, and cormorants though. The Thames is a lovely river with bad reputation because of the silt that tides are constantly churning up, and the only problem left (sewer overflows during heavy rain) will be finally gone next year when https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Tideway_Tunnel goes operational.

> There have been drives where power cycling was hazardous.

I know about this story from 30+ years ago. It may have been true then. It may be even true now.

Yet, in my case, I don't power cycle these drives often. At most a few times a month. I can't say or prove it's a huge risk. I only believe it's not. I have accepted this risk for over 15+ years.

Update: remember that hard drives have an option to spin down when idle. So hard drives can handle many spinups a day.
yes this is going to happen eventually.

That doesn't seem to happen in England, which allows metal detecting.
The thing is that, additional emojis and mere symbols like these are technically much easier to add than under-digitized languages which require much more research. (The initial introduction of emojis wasn't easy, let me clarify.) These characters are just another entry to the code chart and Unicode character database without any additional mechanism to fit. So it should be okay as long as there are not too many characters added in this way.

Reply to EDIT: People who made the proposals are already well known in Unicode and they know what they are proposing. Michael Everson for example is responsible for encoding many other writing systems other than such symbols.
It doesn’t have GUI capabilities per-se. Instead, it is designed to be easy to use as the foundation of an admin GUI.

The .NET library for this is System.Management.Automation.

You can call a PowerShell pipeline with one line of code: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.manageme...

Unlike invoking bash (or whatever) as a process, this is much lighter weight and returns a sequence of objects with properties. You can trivially bind those to UI controls such as data tables.

Similarly the virtual file system providers expose metadata programmatically such as “available operations”, all of which adhere to uniform interfaces. You can write a generic UI once for copy, paste, expand folder, etc and turn them on or off as needed to show only what’s available at each hierarchy level.

As an example, the Citrix management consoles all work like this. Anything you can do in the GUI you can do in the CLI by definition because the GUI is just some widgets driving the same CLI code.
That seems pretty unlikely.

The main reason to add new emoji is that it gets people to update their Unicode standards / phone OSes / etc. Otherwise they won't care enough to get the other less interesting stuff.

Ritualistic is what archaeologists call everything when they can't tell what it's there for, but it was clearly there for a reason.

It sounds like it means religious, but it's more general than that.
You're arguing against a straw man. No one is claiming that the emissions from academics flying doesn't contribute to total emissions or that there's "no point" in reducing them. That's just silly.

But is it academics flying to conferences important? And is viewing academics as being somehow "accountable" for work-related emissions useful?

Certainly a minority of people on the planet fly. But the people that fly regularly also are likely to live in a way that overall uses more carbon -- eating more meat, owning/driving personal vehicles, using AC more etc. Even for them, even if you believe that professional travel is the responsibility of the individual, perhaps their biggest opportunity to reduce is by a change of diet, or something else. Again, it would help to have figures on how many conference-flights per year the average academic is doing.

Is it important to the rest of us? From quick searches, it sounds like ~12% of air passengers are on business travel, so talking about personal and tourist travel seems close to an order of magnitude bigger opportunity than reducing work travel. And even then, of work travel, how much is from conferences vs e.g. sales people and consultants going to meet with customers?

Is the implied alternative to traveling to conferences doing everything online? Then how does stopping conference travel compare in emissions to doing all instruction online and dropping the commutes of university faculty on a day-to-day basis?

This article seems more like a "gotcha" than a valuable insight. A lot of people think emissions need to come down sharply, but we're all stuck in systems that make this quite difficult. Academics are not special in this regard, and I am not convinced that conference travel is even the most important source for that small group.
You might be surprised at the number of vehicles over $100k. Performance and luxury trucks bump into that category. Genesis and Land Rover have vehicles easily in that range. Just go price out an Escalade or Navigator and it becomes expensive quickly. Long ago was the era of only ferraris and lambos being >100k.
By trucks I meant trucks of goods. And that line didn't mention cars.

If transactional sex becomes the norm, while amorous sex becomes scarce, there a few unwanted consequences for the whole society. A few examples: the access to reproduction for the poor is decreased, men in particular feeling unwanted, unable to find a partner and in general feeling uninvested in the common good, which inevitably leads to violence. Yes, it is extreme, but incels in the Western world are a thing and so are 30 million Chinese men who will not have a partner because there are fewer women in that generation.

This is why in general it is frowned upon by "certain members of society" as you call them.
This is a good example of very limited thinking.
That is true. One can also document the regex’s and rules well with examples to help visualize it.

I think development time will be the real winner for LLM’s since building the right set of regex’s takes a long time.

I’m not sure which is faster to iterate on when sites change. The regex’s require the human learning one or more regex’s for sites that broke. Then, how they interact with other sites. The LLM might need to be retrained, maybe just see new examples, or might generalize using previous training. Experiments on this would be interesting.
The text description for it isn't pac man, but snake head.

Forward over Wormhole, Locally
This is why ffmpeg uses assembly, and people get extremely mad when you say it's done for a reason, because they always want to come up with a fancier abstraction (usually cross-platform) which then defeats the purpose because it doesn't actually work.

nb those abstractions do make sense when you can only afford to write a single implementation of the algorithm; then you're just talking about a high level programming language. But they frequently fail to achieve their goal when you're writing a second implementation for the sole purpose of being faster.
I have to agree with you here. OpenAI may be playing for competitive advantage more than for the good of humanity by hiding the results.

except for the fact that it is slower than hell and the syntax is nuts. I don't really understand the comparison, bash is basically just command glue for composing pipelines and pwsh is definitely more of a full-fledged language... but to me, I use bash because its quick and dirty and it fits well with the Unix system.

If I wanted the features that pwsh brings I would much rather just pick a language like Golang or Python where the experience is better and those things will work on any system imaginable. Whereas pwsh is really good on windows for specifically administrative tasks.
