I didn't really understand what it was trying to tell me when I first read it, the ideas just sort of ruminated. I read it when I was either 19 or 20, was completely at odds with who I was then but helped me grow as a person

The way that we think about individual agency and self-interest in modern society is at odds with what our emotional needs are. He makes this point in many of his books

The way that he describes guilt is incredibly accurate. He's very good at seeing and describing emotional conflict

For this kind of search, YouTube and TikTok (yes, TikTok) are your best bet. Videos are not (completely) flooded by AI (yet) and you can find pretty much anything about manual work.

I prefer text content to videos by a long shot, but genuine, human text content is almost dead. Reddit might be one of the rare exceptions for now. There are also random, still active, old school forums for lots of things but they tend to become extremely hard to find.

Linear scan is very fast, but it's not competing against a worse scan it's competing against not scanning which is what the hash table is going to do.

At N=4, say we're mapping one 64-bit integer to another for some reason, so that's 16 bytes per entry, four entries, 64 bytes, conveniently sized linear scan table.

The linear scan reads each of the four keys in turn, if one matches that's a hit, if none do we missed. Four 64-bit reads, four 64-bit compares & branches.

A Swiss table big enough for N=4 has eight slots (128 butes) plus 16 bytes of metadata (total 144 bytes). Half of the slots are empty.

We do a single arithmetic operation on the key, picking the only 16 bytes of metadata which exist, then we load that data, and a single SIMD instruction matches either zero or one entry, and if it wasn't zero we load and compare that entry.

In practical systems you'll get more leeway because Swiss tables want a real hash, your keys probably aren't suitable so maybe there's a dozen or more ALU operations to hash a key - which is a substantial head start for a linear scan. But hey we're talking small amounts of data, who even cares about hash quality?

But do measure, I too am interested, at least in a real shoot out between an actual linear scan and a decent hash table. If the "same API as a hash table but same implementation as linear scan" makes sense for some sizes maybe it's worth writing that collection type.
Aaah, I wish i could edit that title now.

This is so condescending... We perfectly know about the pros and cons of the fiber scheduler.

It's a very useful stack, but people, and you in particular, really need to stop selling it like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Async isn't a good fit for everything, and it's certainly not a good fit for the overwhelming majority of Rails applications.
Or do what they do in the UK. For all of these, make them 'mini-roundabouts' which is literally a dot painted on the center of the road. You follow the rules of the roundabout without building one.

There was this image that was circling some 20 years ago around and later, with the Internet becoming a cable tv-like service where you'd be a subscriber to particular big companies sites and additional "free-range" pages

So the pessimist in me can see the Internet being affected by the free-vs-premium formula: "basic" Internet with ads, tracking, AI fillers, limited access to +18 content, in the worst form comes with these pre-defined sites and "premium" that's free of these limitations but it also in time tries to squeeze more money from users - like "premium but with ads"
There's a sort of "technological fundamental attribution error" that comes into play a lot with new technologies. Every past technology has, whatever its benefits to humanity, become substantially tarnished by abuse and malicious use. But this one won't be! Promise!

That said, I don't really think this is a tide any individual market actor can reasonably stem. It's going to require some pretty fundamental changes in the way we use the internet.

You have only had google image search for what, 20-years? Why do you think it is a fundamental part of humanity's growth story?

You talk about being a part of something "real and visceral" but you're complaining about the demise of being able to sit at your desk and see pictures of wildlife. Maybe it's okay that google image search dies and makes people go out and find the wildlife they want to see.

The internet, even in its best format (e.g. ad-free, free access information for all; and communication with all of humanity) has a ton of real downsides. It's not clear to me that AI should be strangled in its infancy to save the internet (which does _not_ exist in that "best" format).

Maybe just me, but I'd like a column (and checkbox on the left) about packaging. I don't know why protein powders require plastic cannisters, and it would seem to me that they are well-suited to something more environmentally friendly, but for some reason so many of them want to use plastic.

Transit sacrifices speed for efficiency--long headways, meandering routes, sometimes cumbersome crowds, nothing for the last mile. To be fast, a system needs to arrive on demand and go point to point, which implies a lot of vehicles that don't need to be huge.

Is there sufficient capacity?

For broadband Starlink has an upper limit on the density of its customers. By density I mean number of customers per km^2 rather than some prohibition against dumb people using Starlink :-)

Estimates of this limit vary. When I did a back of the envelope calculation a couple assuming all 12000 planned satellites get deployed I got 4.4 simultaneous people doing full speed downloads per km^2. I had to make some guesses for that, in particular the number of satellites visible. If the satellites were spread uniformly around the Earth then at any one time about 360 would be visible from any given location. But they aren't uniform. They have orbits that favor spending more time over the mid latitudes than the high latitudes. That increases the number visible from the mid and low latitudes and lowers the number visible from high latitudes. I just assumed an even 1000 at any one time in mid latitudes.

Others estimates are as high as 30 simultaneous people using full speed per km^2.

This is why providers of wired/fiber or terrestrial wireless broadband in decent sizes cities aren't worried about Starlink.

I'd expect Starlink LTE to have the same kind of limitation, albeit with very different numbers. The bandwidth needed for one 100 Mbps download would be enough for at least 1000 telephone quality voice streams, but I doubt the satellites have the same amount of bandwidth available over LTE as they do over whatever they are using for the internet stuff, so I don't see any way to get a good estimate.
Tiny?

In April 2018, Germany's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), estimated that Reichsbürger movement membership had grown by 80% over the previous two years, more than estimated earlier, with a total of 18,000 adherents, of whom 950 were categorized as right-wing extremists. [Wikipedia]

Apart from numbers -- given that their ranks include former KSK members, they've had some success infiltrating local police departments, and are part of a much broader cloth of revisionist/antidemocratic movements; on top of the events of December 2022 -- the description of "completely irrelevant" is weirdly hyperbolic.

For context: the RAF probably had no more than 100 members at any point, but no one would think to call them "irrelevant".

More like speedrunning the period between 20 years ago and 10 years ago! React is 11 years old, much older than jQuery was when React was initially released.
The article is referring to NYC subways which, while they run on a schedule in theory, the schedule is effectively irrelevant except for when it leaves its first station.

It won't speed up to compensate for delays, and it's never going to wait at a station because it's running ahead.

So the countdown clocks don't report scheduled times, they are derived from the train's actual current distance.

Obviously medium- and long-distance rain is different.
Hang on a second. One of the reasons is you might "do this", where "this" is rendering your environment variables into your HTML. First of all, just don't do that. Secondly, What's stopping you from doing the same thing with a secret in a proper managed secret repository?
This phenomenon proved itself earlier with bitcoin mining operations - contrary to environmentalist complaints the additional base load with unique properties of being 24/7, stable, and easily turned off during peaks and emergencies provided significant extra demand/funding for more grid solar, wind, and batteries facilities than would be built otherwise. Now Texas is the leading state in new grid solar and grid batteries for two years running.

The world is dynamic, not static, so be wary of extrapolations based on a narrow snapshot. Malthusian projections based on static assumptions are often disproven.

I would argue that's a systemd quirk due to D-Bus design. Environment variables for processes in Linux for the most part cannot be read by processes of non-root users, so out of the box they are "secure" for the user starting the process.
No one deserves to be friends with anyone, actually - it's something two people decide mutually.

Catcher in the Rye was the right book for me at the right age. It really set a North Star for me as to what I wanted to be when I looked at myself in the mirror.

Funny how as I grew older, I found myself understanding more and more about what the older characters were saying, without me sacrificing what made what Holden Caulfield ring so true to me.

Fun fact: in university at the bookstore they had a written poll as to what your favorite book was (before the Internet). I was one of the first ones and wrote down Catcher in the Rye. A month later I read in the school paper that Catcher in the Rye was the winner that year, and it was the first time that the Bible didn't come in first place.
Chinese Cyberattack Is a Disaster of Unimaginable Proportions
As you are fully aware, it does not imply any bull bars can be type approved (and there are a lot less such new cars as there were in the 90's and 00's in our country).

So:
1) the regulation you said does not exist does in fact exist,

2) it may be one of the reasons the Cybertruck is not yet type approved.

Time will tell, if and when Tesla manages to register it, possibly with some changes to the construction. Or it will deem the EU market too small for that.
That specific example? If you’ve done an amazing bad job of configuring a web server.

Similar examples that involve passing paths as e.g. query strings? When you’ve written an application that takes a real file path as a parameter and haven’t done any of several things that can prevent that from pointing to files you don’t want it to.

> These threads often end up, with everyone trying to prove they are literary scholars

I see a wide variety of answers ITT. Some are very "literary" fiction e.g. Ulysses, others are lighter fare like Harry Potter, there's also a wide variety of non-fiction works from self-help to electronics manuals to philosophy. Have you considered that other people might actually have different tastes than you, and aren't trying to "prove" anything?

How to gather data for a directory using AI
I want to share with you how I gathered data for my directory, image generators.

I start by typing in Perplexity: “Please create a list of 20 websites that offer AI image generation.”

Next, I take the list returned by Perplexity and paste it into the Google Vertex console with the following prompt: “Please answer the following questions for each website in the provided list. Make sure the data is correct based on your search results. My life depends on it.

Questions to answer:

• Does the website offer a free tier?
• What is the pricing?
• Does it offer an image-to-image feature?
• Does it offer a text-to-image feature?
List of the websites: …”

I would run this query 2-3 times to validate the results.

Vertex AI has a feature called “grounding” that searches Google first before giving a response. This is very handy for data validation.

As a final step, I manually check the data points.

That’s it! I hope my setup helps you with gathering data.

I would love to learn what your strategies are.

What about people who are critical in a way you'll never know? Personally I might check off a "don't ask for book recommendations" box in my head and never mention it to you again
There was something long ago called GWT -- Google Web Toolkit -- that tried to make Java into that language by having it compile to JavaScript.

It actually worked decently well, but was due to Java needlessly verbose.

WASM lets us run other languages efficiently in the browser but that just opens the field to a lot of languages, not one language to rule them all.
Microsoft already has Github Copilot. I always thought OpenAI would eventually acquire them (they already hold a stake in them).
I have a use case immediately for this. Thank you for sharing this!
DockYard – Getting Started with LiveView Native (Android) [video]
Medicare for everyone fixes the under and uninsured problem. It doesn't fix the cost problem, only moves it from paying private insurance companies to the government. It's true Medicare pays less per procedure but that is not because those procedures are more efficient it's because relies on pricing power. Many hospitals would go out of business or have to layoff a significant amount of their staff if they were exclusively paid Medicare rates.
Yeah that's normally how it goes, actually.
Receiving calls from Iridium should be free – the caller usually pays for the satellite portion of the call.

That usually makes Iridium -> terrestrial calls much more economical than the other way around, as telcos usually use the opportunity of terrestrial -> satcom calls to add on ridiculous margins. Conversely, satellite -> terrestrial calling is usually around a dollar per minute or less, these days.

In your situation, that would come out to a $50 (or maybe $25) charge per minute. Hefty, but that indeed seems to be at least in the ballpark of their listed rates (for prepaid here, for example: https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/connect/international-calling-r...).
> Lots of writers keep using [typewriters], they became trendy in the 2010s and, to escape surveillance, some secret services started to use them back. It’s a very niche but existing market.

At first blush, this sentiment appears to also be true of old computers. There is growing "trendy" interest in them, and they're otherwise still fit for purpose for some tasks, like gaming, writing, driving long-unsupported hardware or software. The community around it has been rather industrious in servicing old machines, particularly Macs.

But they cannot satisfy all the requirements we have of a modern computer, and neither can a typewriter. However, the length of time a computer has before being truly obsolete seems much longer now than it used to be. You could easily get a decade or more if you can control the itch for new and shiny and have modest performance needs.

Might need to replace the battery, if the device has one. There's some luck involved with getting the longest support window possible from MS or Apple. Google and co are famously a lot worse on this front, if we're talking phones.
So don’t provide secrets to your service via environment variable, it can leak?

Instead, expose all your secrets via a public API with IP filtering, then give the credentials to this service to your app - as an environment variable - and voila!

This just seems like increasing complexity in a part of your system that should be as simple and non-dynamic as humanly possible, for the upside of.. much larger attack surface?

We inject secrets, as env vars, in each Deployment. No runtime access to any secrets store, gives the ability to generate new secrets for each deployment, and minimal complexity for such a critical aspect of the system.

I'm sure your departure from the community will be the tectonic shift that'll finally get the PSF to change their course.
> To call out a practical example: 1Password.

Of all the examples that could have been 'called out', this is the least practical one. Jumping from the problem statement straight to hosting with a third party provider completely ignores the huge risk that comes with it. Using environment variables is risky so just give your secrets to some third party... which then provides environment variables anyway. This entire section ought to be dropped, it almost reads like a sponsored bit and there are much better and more widely used solutions used such as sops and vault.
