If there's information on input format, it is simple enough to trace through the following shapes, but it does force reading the code rather linearly. Operations which implicitly restrict the allowed shapes are unfortunately intentionally rather few.

I basically never use the generalized inner product; it's rather unique to the original APL - J has a variant that doesn't have the built-in reduction, and k and BQN and many if not most other array languages don't have any builtin for it at all. And in general I don't typically use rank higher than like one plus the natural dimensionality of the operation/data in question.
They're also overlooking the actual prices of GEO satellites versus LEO. LEO is much cheaper than GEO, there's a reason DOD and others are moving towards it and it's not that it's a fad. GEO has a few specific benefits but cost is not one of them.
But it is more primitive than '\n', and can be rendered into binary without any further arbitrary conversion steps (arbitrary in that there's nothing in '\n' that says it should mean 10). It's just "transform the number after the backslash into the byte with that value".
If lldp proves inconvenient, pi's also have a unique cpu-id, which can be found in /proc/cpuinfo

Well, the problem you run into is that you kind of want different datastores for different use-cases. For example search vs. specific page loads, and you want to try and make both of those consistent, but you don't have a single DB that can serve both use-cases (often times primary DB + ElasticSearch for example). If you don't keep them consistent, you have user-facing bugs where a user can update a record but not search for it immediately, or if you try to load everything from ES to provide consistent views to a user, then updates can disappear on refresh. Or if you try to write to both SQL + ES in an API request, they can desync on failure writing to one or the other. The problem is even less the complexity of keeping the index up to date in realtime, and more that the ES index isn't even consistent with the primary DB, and to a user they are just different parts of your app that kinda seem a little broken in subtle ways inconsistently. It would be great to be able to have everything present a consistent view to users, that updates together on-write.
I only see one cookie, for the captcha, and removing that just forces me to solve the captcha again.

The 503 error itself doesn't seem to be cookie related, looks like the site can't keep up with the kind of traffic they're getting.

Also, if clearing cookies prevents errors, it's likely related to caching. Depending on the server configuration, things like authentication cookies will cause the session to bypass caches for certain resources.
One actor is state, that's not the hill to die on usually. Another are individuals and private companies who will never act in your interest, mostly directly against it.

I sadly collected retro computers for when I was going to play them with my old pals. Guess which machines are just collecting dust, after I paid high prices for them. Instead of sadness I just accept it as reality and move on. We have bigger things to do. And of course in my case, for this case, anything old can be emulated and give the same on-screen experience.

Okay, I'm a little bit bummed about it.
I went to college in Trinity and the Book of Kells is housed in the old library.

Once you've finished seeing the book, you head upstairs through the Long Room, and that place is just special (they used it as the hall of the jedi)

As a student there you could visit for free. I used to just go up and hang in the library for 10 mins or so a few times a year. Loved it.

This was fantasy tech from movies not long ago.

I think this is a bad direction we’re heading. Much like text scams mean we can no longer trust an honest wrong number, we can now no longer trust a meeting on the street from someone who may know of us from some other part of our life. I worry this will lead to even greater distrust of our own communities, driving more people to end up alone.

There were con artists before, sure, but when technology enables anyone with a few hundred dollars to do it without much effort, it changes things.

One saving grace is that, so far, the public doesn’t seem to care about any of these VR/AR products. The Ray-Ban glasses from Meta are in the same ballpark as the iPod in terms of price. The iPod was ubiquitous, while I don’t see or know anyone with smart glasses. If it’s not a price issue, it must be that people don’t really care about this space.

My understanding is that overfishing and climate change are prime and valid examples of the tragedy of the commons.

You seem to be claiming that the problem is with systems of management, but the entire point of the tragedy of the commons is that it happens when there isn't management. Which is abundantly the case at the global level of international waters and a shared atmosphere, because there is no such thing as a world government, nor do most people want one.

So how exactly has there "never... been a tragedy of the commons"? How are overfishing and CO2 not exactly tragedies of the commons? What other principle explains why they weren't solved decades ago?

> You want to know why people are using AI to read your resume? Because tools like this are clogging job inboxes with hundreds of submissions per day.

While I sympathize with the sentiment, it's important to note that companies were using algorithms to screen resumes long before LLMs became an option for generating job applications. Job applicants have long been accustomed to trying to guess which keywords to use to make it through HR filters and then submitting the application with only the faintest hope that it will ever be seen by an actual human.

LLM tech allows applicants to play the same game and in the process makes the problem even worse—driving more companies to use algorithmic screening even more aggressively—but applicants did not fire the first shots, they merely responded in kind.
What does it mean to be "frozen out"?
So when does it get to the point that instead of spamming as many applications as possible directly into the round file it makes more sense to go in the opposite direction, and find a decent recruiter who you can talk to in person and who has actual people they know?

We do have one. I guess not many people even here know about it since it doesn't have a multi-million ad campaign around it. I've been messing around with a few distros on my Pinephone. The base Pinephone is much too weak to be used as a daily driver, but maybe the Pro is better. There are distros like Ubuntu Touch and Arch Linux Mobile. There are specific phone DEs like Phosh and (KDE) Plasma Mobile. Hardware compatibility is low, but you can at least check them out in a VM on your desktop. The best part is that you can run any software that works on ARM desktop Linux, so "app" compatibility isn't even a worry. Whether the software is usable in that form factor and resolution is another factor though.

It's actually super easy and, atleast for me, was always intuitive. Most USB cables have their logo or something else engraved on the "top" with the air gap.

I do not think this is at all accurate. Sure quality is increasingly important, but that is just the pendulum shifting only slightly back from the fact that quantity is the primary thing you need.

The overwhelming issues with WiFi are

1. It is slow to connect, taking multiple seconds rather than a few milliseconds. (Wifi unreliability would have much less practical impact if there was rapid reconnect.)

2. The lack of a sufficiently flexible standard interface for logging in and accepting terms, leading to the terrible captive portal workaround.

I cannot for the life of me understand why the standards committee cares much about various other minor improvements when these issues are still unsolved after two decades. (Similar complaints can be made about Bluetooth.)

> A new study also shows people using AI produce code with 41% more bugs. And that’s just what the users missed!

Do you have a link or more info? Without further context, the 41% doesn't tell us the whole story; all we have is a numerator lacking a denominator. Did bugs per line of code go up, or down? Did # LOC produced after using AI go up/down? For all we know, the increase in productivity caused average bugs per line to go down, rather than up, which is contrary to the argument you're making.

Python has a \N escape sequence. It inserts a Unicode character by name. For example,

i feel you. but this is the kind of thing where one side has to make the first move, and usually that is me or you and not the other side, because if we wait for the others to make the move then nothing will happen. so it's a question of how important that interaction is to us.

i am saying this because people often feel regret for not interacting with their family more. and if someone has that feeling then the only way to fix it is to engage, regardless of what the other side is doing.

that said, when i went through a difficult time i tried talking to my dad about it, and when he came back complaining about some other issue i decided that i didn't need more arguing and stopped talking to him. not that i would refuse talking, but if all i get is complaints then it's not worth it.
DMNO creator here - sensitive config values are able to be retrieved from a variety of backends using a flexible plugin system. We are certainly not telling you that you have to use the encrypted file method, and depending on the security requirements of your project it may not be a good choice. You can also mix and match those plugins, and segment items however you see fit - so it's not always a single key being passed around.

That said, it is a valid way that some folks use (see
https://dotenvx.com/, https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt, https://github.com/getsops/sops) which can make sense for simpler projects with less stringent security needs. The bonus here is it does not require setting up, paying for, or integrating any external service, and helps save you from "secret sprawl".

We have a plugin for 1password (which many teams are already using anyway) and have plugins planned for many other popular tools, including Infisical.

Many other tools only really make sense for bigger enterprises, either due to cost, complexity, or both. Our goal here (or one of them anyway) is to make a tool that provides enough value to use in all cases, from very small and simple to very large and complex.

I love this perspective. I feel and see it in myself. Constantly consuming information, rarely turning that knowledge into action in the world.

Before the internet and easy availability of information, we learned less, had less access to information and haphazardly acted on the world. There has to be a middle ground, where you use the internet as a tool to educate yourself so that your actions are more in tune with your true will.

It seems like we’ve already reached this point in the job market.
