> I've heard support for the 7900 XT/X series is a bit dicey

The firmware-amd-graphics package in stable is too old to properly support RDNA 3. It kind of works, but it is quite buggy. All RDNA 3 users on Debian 12 should be sure to install the kernel and firmware from bookworm-backports.

There is full support for RDNA 3 hardware enabled on Debian Testing (both in the drivers and runtime libraries). The Debian ROCm Team intended to backport all the ROCm packages from Testing into Bookworm, but have been held up as LLVM 17 is not available in bookworm-backports (yet?).

> FWIW Debian is not even supported by ROCm

ROCm does not support Debian, but Debian supports ROCm. Most of the libraries that comprise ROCm have been directly packaged by the distribution.
Counter point: that's the stuff you're shoving deeper into your gum line. And to reiterate, I do floss. However, I can see potential issues with it that may counter its effectiveness.
Memory64 is supported by a lot of runtimes now, although it isn't fully standardized yet (see https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals), so no idea how reliable the implementations actually are, since I haven't had a need for that much memory yet

There are plenty of MAGA-like people here in Not-America, and like their MAGA counterparts, they do tend to congregate in the social media once known as Twitter.

There's a certain kind of ideological alignment there, as odd as it may be.
A fine example of the Bulverism fallacy indeed.

Rob Hardy wrote about this phenomenon (it's not exclusive to indie hackers) and he call it "the pattern":

> If you’ve ever wondered why so much of the creator economy looks like a pyramid scheme—with course creators who teach other creators how to sell courses to creators who eventually sell their own courses on course creation to other unsuspecting creators—mimesis is at the heart of the matter.

I think your response can be said of any application made before now.
I read about that case years ago, and as a result started composting my biomass garbage, especially the orange peel! I don't generate enough to make a difference, but the local fauna eats most of it. A couple of onions have sprouted in the pile.
It's fairly common, but even in Europe, it's frequently cheaper to fly than to take a train, unfortunately. I would not point to Europe as a place that does passenger rail extremely well; that honor goes to Japan. Europe might be better than the US at it, but that's not saying much.
+1 to Rams doc.
Can relate. I've used their dumps, and one task was to generate a paragraph summary. The dumps themselves use wiki markup which obviously adds an entirely new level of complexity. There are dumps of "summaries" but they're fairly broken, seemingly due to an ever evolving wiki markup syntax. I believe there are other ways to parse them though, which involves downloading a bunch of other people's code.

So if someone were to scrape the front end for the first paragraph element or whatever, it may make their life easier.
It’s certainly not outrageous. It’s how people regularly find vulnerabilities in all kinds of closed-source software.

You obviously have something against contemporary growth-obsession, but I don't see a relation to agile. Do I need to point out that there are cases where you would have enough profit only to cover running the business (if that) and can't afford to stress over smaller issues?

> Why would you make the gap clickable?

I already said why: if everyone expects that behaviour (OP obviously did).

Just like "sanding your UI" removes rough edges for customers, fixing things in computer languages removes papercuts for developers (customers of the language).

Regarding technical challenges, didn't OP switch to padding? How is that different?

Shoplifting is mainly the result of lax prosecution of said crimes. I don’t ever really feel bad for corps other than companies I’ve worked for or ones I have nostalgia for, it’s just a vice I Iet myself have. However, I do feel sympathy for the people who live in those neighborhoods and can’t even get access to basic toiletries without asking someone to open up the glass. It has to get old and I see why people would just order it from Amazon or do a monthly run outside of the neighborhood to get the stuff they need for day to day activities. It’s time to fire the DAs an public officials who value “treating criminals with compassion” over the people just trying to get on with their honest, hardworking lives.
I feel that shortened it too much.
Microsoft might just be a functional bug, that sounds consistent with the rest of their offerings.
I don't disagree at all. In fact I'm saying the desire for microservices is a sign your monolith could use a refactor. I would call it a canary but it's long dead by this stage.

If it's faster to spin up a new production service from scratch to implement some functionality than leverage your existing code then something has gone very wrong. Shouldn't all that code make implementing complex features faster and easier? Shouldn't your codebase be full of powerful tools that can be leveraged to build completely new things?

Every time I see this happen is because frameworks -- not 3rd party frameworks, but the whisper from Satan that suggests that wrap code in more layers to make it "easier", "simpler" for the user.
Also because Microsoft spends relatively little on it and so it’s not changing at a fast pace.

Eh, not really, because the US has shown it's happy to go ahead and make it illegal to have TikTok here as well. The real result is probably much, much simpler: Globally-operating apps won't make as much sense as they got away with in pre-regulatory eras of the Internet.

Big Tech has basically spent the past twenty years pretending their global status made them above the law of any one nation, but in reality, being a global company just means you're subject to all the laws of all the nations.

I, actually run a 6 inch snorkel out from the basement with fine metal mesh clamped onto the intake. Reduces to 4 inch through the wall, then through a filter box, then through a 200cfm fan. You want 15cfm per person in the building to flush enough CO2. After the two filters, a 200 cfm fan will not be pulling what it’s rated for. You can either use a bathroom exhaust fan in reverse, or you can get quiet enough fans from “indoor gardening companies”. The dehumidifier is standard, nothing fancy.
> Oh, and IT who thinks their company has a marketing department that adds zero revenue

Please reread. I said the website brought zero revenue.

The website for our company never broke 5 digits in total views. I could almost precisely correlate who was looking at our website with who marketing was currently talking to. Scaling was useless. Dynamism was useless. etc.

All resource spent on the website was worse than useless as it took marketing away from doing anything else which would could result in revenue.

A lot of businesses are in the same boat where the website brings in zero revenue. A static website would be more than good enough but somebody in mangement chain has a "Must Keep Up With The Joneses" streak. And then you wind up on WordPress.
low quality post for sure
If you are trying to take my property, I should have the right to stop you from doing that. No one is saying shoplifters are animals, but there are laws for a reason, they are part of what holds society together and holds back chaos. It also sounds like new laws should be passed to protect one against civil lawsuits when it comes to defending your property or having an agent doing that.
Indeed, this conversation is a good illustration of the damage that Bayesian statistics have done to the "educated" populace. Not that they're inherently bad--it's just a different statistical approach, and it's generally good not to assume a universal background, that everything is normal, etc.--but by telling people it's fine to question statistical conclusions because the distribution might be different, it liberates certain people from ever having to actually change their minds based on new information, because they can just posit a different distribution that satisfies their own biases.

While it is true that not all distributions are normal, many distributions are approximately normal (or at least, normal in some sensible space that maps onto the actual collected data). IMO the amount of ink spilled on the idea that science is fundamentally flawed because distributions aren't always normal is probably too high (especially among non-statisticians), and frankly that's not where statistical analyses usually go wrong. A much larger problem (that has nothing to do with the ultimate shape of the distribution) is stuff like postselecting from a set of plausible models until you find one that finds significant results, and claiming that was what you intended to measure all along (this is why it's important to consider stuff like hyperpriors, much moreso than lack of normality).
> and unnecessarily soldered component

Seriously? Do you want a M.2 card slot in your phone?
I've been using this service pattern although not in Django - in Flask. The main benefit is a lot of code doesn't need to depend on a request context. We can happily have backend scripts calling services and we intentionally don't let the request context bleed into that layer.

Also, may just be me, but I've mostly seen just bad Django apps - God object patterns galore, the schema/orm/business logic all being very tightly coupled and essentially nothing is able to be refactored because of this. They often have to be simply thrown away and you start over.

But, I think having an explicit service interface solves a lot of these problems - as long as you maintain the interface and pass back the same type of object, you're free to talk to whatever backing store you like. And you get a lot less issues with circular imports and whatnot in my experience. ymmv

Immutability by default contributes just as much if not more
Conversely, I often find Google's local focus to be counter-productive when I want to search for the most relevant sources in the world (for physical things) or on the internet (for virtual things) and Google insists on giving me local examples of the physical thing or local providers of the virtual thing, neither of which I have interest in.
I believe LIGO-style detectors would still have this issue. The procedure that is proposed here is more like a gravitational analog of the photo-electric effect. In the photo-electric effect you have an electron which is bound to an atom until a photon with sufficiently high energy knocks it out. In the proposed experiment here they would prepare a bar of a very pure material (e.g., aluminum) and cool it until it is in its ground state. The length of the bar would be chosen so that its resonant frequency would correspond to the frequency of a gravitational wave event. When a gravitational wave passes by, a graviton could excite an acoustic mode in the bar.

Incidentally, these kinds of resonant bars were one of the original ideas for gravitational wave detectors back in the 1960s and 70s. A physicist named Joseph Weber claimed to have detected a number of gravitational wave events back in the 1960s, but it was later determined that these were noise. [1]

Sure! The core dividing line between the two books boils down to how they approach representing data in a program. Yehonathan's book advocates for immutable data stored in untyped data structures (for instance, Map<Object, Object>). My book takes the opposite approach. It advocates for building around immutable data that's strongly statically typed. It aims to capture the stuff in our domain using algebraic data structures.

This modeling difference has pretty far reaching implications. They lead to very different kinds of code bases, and thus very different books.

Here are the repos for the two books. Poking around those should give you a good overview for how radically two things both called "data-oriented" can differ :)

Yes, that's correct! Unfortunately ARM64 can't fully interface with x64 code (e.g. you can't translate an ARM64 CONTEXT to an x64 one directly due to differing numbers of registers), so the backwards compatibility is restricted to ARM64EC only.

Exercise increased caution in the Dominican Republic due to crime.

Country Summary: Violent crime, including armed robbery, homicide, and sexual assault, is a concern throughout the Dominican Republic. The development of a professional tourist police corps, institution of a 911 system in many parts of the country, and a concentration of resources in resort areas means these tend to be better policed than urban areas like Santo Domingo. The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale.

How we derived the laws and theories is science. (Some of the other commenters are mixing this together with biographies of the scientists, which is not science but is sometimes interesting in its own right.) The laws and theories in isolation are just trivia, and any class that teaches just those cannot truthfully be called a science class. Demand a better education.
With schools. This is narrowly focused on education, so the slippery slope concerns don't hold much weight.

Although it's worth noting that many jobs, office jobs included, prohibit phone use.
conda-forge handles the first part of this (reproducible builds) for most common platforms. The idea of rebuilding deleted artifacts on demand sounds nice in theory, but it has the complication that rebuilding something that depends on several other somethings will likely trigger a build cascade where a bunch of stuff has to get built in order. Hopefully none of those ancient build scripts require external resources hosted at dead links!
The below is not a scientific opinion. But it is an opinion.

Apple is 100% milking the buyer in a way the lower end Android chain just isn't in the business of.

People don't not buy top flight iPhones because something else is worse, it's because they 1) can't afford it (priced out) or don't "know" better (don't have an appreciation for just how great the experience is).

Maybe, a top flight Apple experience really is 10x a lower end Android experience.

First, it's the fact that everything has a decent (if by now overbearing) design language and everything (more or less) just works and fits in the Apple ecosystem, and the momentum to date has meant the feature set and 3rd party app offering is pretty darn good (Anrdoid may have great hardware and an equivalent feature-set in software, but is it as consistent and polished or truly well-designed overall?).

Second, it's the fact that there are no good alternatives. Sorry, but the Android ecosystem is not good enough. Not close, not second best, just a non starter, for Apple acolytes.

Third, there is no serious competition. Ok, there are oddball more independent offerings, but let's be real. They are nowhere near as polished.

Therefore, nothing much is really pushing top flight Apple prices down other than people's ability to pay. Because enough "experiences" have been pushed to mobile by now, it's sort of a necessity to have something to answer that need.

Maybe, someone, somewhere, could make a serious competitor to iPhone. It is 100% possible. But it does not seem to be done now.

And so, the price is what Apple has figured out people are able to pay in order to maximize overall corporate profit.

Is it worth it? Well, if it enables serious business, then, yes, best Apple phone and best apple laptop are worth it, easily.

The problem is this (best iPhone) became the stack for mobile when things (capabilities all around, specs, and prices) were more middling, and it's hard for such people to go to Android. And it's hard to juggernaut into serious competition in the particularly highly complex technical space because of the hardware and software investments made in the past couple of decades that have really built up. (When iPhone started it didn't have copy/paste, but look at the over-complexity now.)

> - Explicit dependency injection. I've never understood what this means

The article seems to mean what's described in this other article as "dependency parameterization" where the dependency is explicitly passed to the function (and every function it calls that also needs that same dependency). This is as opposed to, in OO languages, setting the dependency (typically) during construction (however the object is constructed). Or it's otherwise set in some larger scope than the functions which make use of it (global, module, object instance, whatever is appropriate to the language and task).

It's amazing as a technical achievement to get the board so small and still functioning... Literally cutting the mainboard, rewiring some of the features on flex-dughterboards etc to come up with something so small, shows a deep understanding of what's going on on the mainboard from the mod commununity.

It seems a bit of an odd contender for the title of smallest, without the dock it can't do anything and the dock doubles the size, plus this has no wiimote capability. Shortstack seems much more complete.

Most of these points are related to strict type system. If that was the case, then Lisp wouldn't be functional programming language.

IMO the first and foremost principle of Functional Programming languages is that they are optimised around building programs in terms of function composition. And anyone who had to work with borrow checker and closures for 5sec knows, that this is not the case for Rust.
