I remember finding this series greatly engrossing, including 2061 and 3001, when I read them at age 12 or so. I wonder now if I should attempt re-reading. My only worry is that it'll take me until the year 2061 at the amount of free time I have today :(
it’s coming! just takes a bit more time to properly release it.
> but arguing for else-if with execution speed arguments isn't the way.

Depends on the code base and problem domain you code / live in. In most cases you're right, but in my domain it's a different story.

> Moreover, else-if is probably the most misused conditional

You can misuse anything in any language, so by this logic we should argue that we shall abolish all programming altogether. I can misuse threads to make a program slower, misuse memory allocator to fragment the memory, etc. etc.

So I don't think "but people misuse it" is a great argument either.
Yep, creepy, and illegal in some places.

Sure, but I need an Apple account to use an iPad or an iPhone, but I don't need to log into my Apple account to browse hardware on my computer.

I hate Facebook in general, but I like that Meta is investing in a hardware platform. I can live with needing an account to use a piece of hardware, if the hardware is good. I have a quest3, I like it. But they care so much about tracking you that it undermines their hardware and the adoption of it.
Naturally, what -I- really want is a three way diff between "the state SI thought production was in, the state SI has been asked to transition production to, and the state production is actually currently in."

I recall trying to convince you to experiment with that when you were building Chef but you'd just come out of working with finance stuff so understandably felt that an uncontrolled change should always be dealt with via emitting a resume generating event.

I continue to believe that for small non-bank organisations, when somebody gets paged in the middle of the night "whatever gets production to stop being on fire the fastest" is completely legitimate and systems automation tooling should support handling the config reconciliation -after- it's back up.

... but enjoy your launch day, having waited this long to argue my case again I can leave it a while longer :D

ca. 25 years ago, I remember seeing the first comic comparing people with hands-free with the "village idiot" and making the point that we couldn't tell regular people apart from the village idiot any longer, because it'd implicitly already become normal.

In other words: This was normalized a generation ago.

And now I feel very old.

As someone who’s done a fair bit of native macOS development. I’d say modern Apple is also at least partially to blame by their lack of understanding for macOS and seeming disdain for it. SwiftUI 5 years later is still full of issues on mac and missing a lot of the things AppKit provided for free that made mac apps mac apps. A SwiftUI app on mac doesn’t feel like a mac app in the way people are nostalgic for. While on iOS it chips away at UIKit every year.

Did you really have to pick the same name as the Haystack open source AI framework? https://haystack.deepset.ai/ https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack

It's a very active project and it's confusing to have two projects with the same name. Besides, I don't understand why you'd give a "2D digital whiteboard that automatically draws connections between code as you navigate and edit files" the name haystack.
I've had to file 2 chargebacks so far with N26. First one took two weeks, and was possibly resolved by the merchant refunding me after getting pressured. And the second one I filed a month ago and hasn't even been confirmed to be investigated into.

In London (UK), OCM seems to have more chargers and more accurate data than PlugShare. Zap Map is probably the best option though, but even them are missing some slow chargers.
> Further, when we exhibited at RailsWorld 2023, there was a definite "blood in the water" vibe regarding Redis and the assumption that you'd automatically need a Redis server running alongside your Rails application.

I've only worked on one production Rails application in my career (and it did use Redis!), so I'm way out of the loop – is the ecosystem turning against Redis from a business perspective (I know there have been some license changes), or is it a YAGNI situation, or something else?

IIRC we used it mainly with Rescue to schedule asynchronous jobs like indexing, transcoding, etc., but it seemed like a neat tool at the time.
Some timeshare companies have their own buyback / abandonment programs in response to the scammy exit companies:

HGVC: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/hgvcs-deed-back-process.35...

Hyatt: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/hyatt-now-has-a-buy-back-p...

Of course, these are not well advertised. And it contradicts the sales pitch of the timeshare maintaining / increasing in value if you are simply giving it back for free.
I don't take anything an AI says seriously, but I have been a contented user of DuckDuckGo for over a decade. I can't remember when I last used `!g` to invoke Google search; it hasn't been worth the trouble for a long time.
My neighbour's charge point is officially a public charger. It is located on his driveway, behind a closed fence. The reason it is 'public' is because there were government kickbacks for installing public charge points with no requirements to have ypur 'public' chargepoint be usable by the public.

This is not a one time exception. You can drive through city streets with your GPS showing multiple nearby public access chargers. With none in sight (they are iside people's garages or on their property behind closed fences).

Probably depends on your area, but when I was bike commuting, I refused to give in to the temptation to wear even one headphone. Staying completely focused and aware of traffic saved me quite a few times. You won't be surprised to know what I think about cycling with AR.

You're right, but the individual has to ask if entering a crowded niche is worth it or not. Does your main strength lie in absurd workload to grind out the paper a few months/weeks earlier to Arxiv than the next group will?

The risk reward calculus still often benefits this approach. The risk is that you get scooped. If you do something nonobvious, the risk is that it doesn't pan out or the reviewers don't get the point. The latter is harder to solve by grinding. So many phds will chose the former, as at least putting in ridiculous hours feels more actionable. Also, doing the straightforward thing and getting scooped is less ego-hurting than failing at your own special pet idea.

I think many who aren't in grad school don't understand how extremely important it is to have publications. At the beginning you must get publications to do internships and to build contacts at conferences. Then later it becomes imperative in order to graduate and get your next position. Nowadays you must even have multiple top conference papers just to start a PhD.
Of course from the point of view of the advisor with 15 PhD students, the ideal student would do high risk high reward work and if 3 projects become super successful, 5 become quite successful and 7 yield nothing, that's still great for the advisor. But the 7 who lost several years would rather not go through this.

This guy calls it out here, but I will say that the notifications page on github could do with a redesign. If you're in a busy org for your job, it's not easy to see everything in the org (they limit showing number of notifications per repo), and the volume of notifications from your job org will cover up anything in your personal/following repos.

Sure you could unfollow work repos you aren't interested in, but you're automatically following any new ones.
Not necessarily. Some people are just less sensitive to latency, so even if a 20ms added delay might not be noticeable to you, it doesn't mean that other people won't feel it.
I think they mean the cameras shouldn't be available in user-space / app-space. But I still bet there would be some sort of jailbreak tutorial available a couple days after the retail launch.
Right, though publicly available for $99/mo.

With Orion, no devkits publicly available either.
Did you mean x86/x64 decoding?

Looking at the libs, none of them seem to mention ARM64 inst. decoding.
Thank you for your feedback.

I understand that working with tasks and retrieving values can feel a bit clunky. The main reason I've structured it this way is that individual tasks are RAII objects, and their coroutine state is destroyed once they go out of scope. However, I could modify the awaitable returned from wait_tasks to store tasks, and then return values directly to the user. This could definitely be a more ergonomic overload for the function. I'll look into it!

You get very different Little’s Law shapes from the too for sure.

Who here hasn’t bought themselves some time from vertically or horizontally scaling a database by hoisting a bunch of calculations up and out of the transaction? Do them before or after the constraint.

The farther you have to reach to coordinate use of the constraint the better it might be to hand the inputs to the constraint and let an experts handle things.
I think we're just interpreting each other's comments too narrowly. I'd be repeating myself to reply further.

Is deep learning state of the art for something like this?

Would have expected it to just be kernel based.

Regardless, you can have fully deterministic deep learning approaches. You can use integers, run on a CPU, and seed everything.
I asked o1-preview a couple times, it gave me:

*Answer:*

Approximately 27 trillion kilograms—the black hole would need about 2.7 × 10¹³ kg of mass to exert tidal forces strong enough at 1 meter to tear off an arm.
- This radius is much smaller than an atomic nucleus, so at a distance of 1 meter, the person is far outside the event horizon.

No, the black hole with a mass of approximately \( 2.7 \times 10^{13} \) kilograms would not evaporate quickly due to Hawking radiation. Even though this mass is relatively small compared to stellar black holes, such a black hole would have an extremely long evaporation time—*on the order of \( 5 \times 10^{16} \) years, which is about 50 quadrillion years*. This duration is vastly longer than the current age of the universe, which is approximately \( 13.8 \times 10^{9} \) years (13.8 billion years).
Btw, i'm pretty sure we can use this on spoken output of schizophrenics to categorize optimal first line treatment.

But timing is everything. If everyone already has a device that is functionally equivalent in most cases, most won't make the switch. Isn't that why investors often look for 10x improvements for disruptive tech - switching costs discount the value of any incremental innovation, however cool the new tech is.

AR via a phone/tablet seems to me to be just as good an interface as any headgear once you factor in the social cues when using AR around other people. Even then, I can't think of non-entertainment contexts where AR is actually worth the effort over a screen interface.

A subscription that only continues to exist because the unsubscribe process is harder than it needs to be can never represent loyality and commitment, as both require an act of free will.

Their site only lists Desktop (Mac, Windows, and Linux) and web browser extensions, so I'm guessing no. I'd like be to be wrong. Are there other Android apps that aren't necessarily provided by Zotero? They seem to have a pretty open API for access to your online library. For example, I used to use a completely different iOS app than the Zotero proper app for annotating PDFs.

I would recommend going full event sourcing if you're going to put in that kind of effort into preserving history.

Assuming you don't need real time access to data from several points in time, that is.

Just store the events with timestamps and json in a separate table, I usually build a hierarchy with parent event refs to simplify auditing.

As an added bonus, the app is now completely command driven.

Getting historic data for a specific point in time means starting with an empty database and replaying earlier events, alternatively storing undo information in events.
Related: The 'lcc-win' C compiler added operator overloading, default function arguments, and function overloading (see "generic functions") [1]. The Plan 9 C compiler introduced several language extensions, some of which, like anonymous structs/unions would eventually be incorporated into the C standard. Present day GCC accepts the -fplan9-extensions flag [2] which enables some nifty features, like automatically converting a struct pointer to an anonymous field for function calls and assignments.

A mini nuclear-reactor-as-a-heat-source might be appropriate for a melt-drill. RTGs are a bit unfortunate as they'll exponentially decay from the time of manufacturing, and you'll need to both 1. deliver high enough power at Europa, and 2. radiate away that much power and a bit more when you're flying there.

A nuclear reactor could produce basically no heat while offline, then be switched on and suddenly provide 100s of kW when it gets to wherever it's going. The hard part in space is radiating away the heat, but if you're on an ice world, that's orders of magnitude easier.

The hardest part I'd see would just be getting into the ice; there's not really any "melting" in vacuum. The constant boiling away of the water would keep insulating your heater from the ice. Meters 1 to 20,000 are probably pretty easy.
