If you knew who it was, and understood the culture there, it’d be totally on brand for them.

Large, global retailer with their tech center in the Midwest. Most of the long term goals were presented from Italy, most of my coworkers were there because they had been there for 10-20 years and were zombies waiting on their package so that the company could move their jobs to Dallas.

Ironically enough, when I relocated to Dallas, one of their recruiters reached out. I think it was one of the few times that I’ve ever been unprofessional and was laughing as I hung up the phone to a recruiter.
You missed this part:

"Because people have agency and hobbies"

More attention next time.
Yes, I sent them an email, I tried 3 debit cards and a credit card over a span of 1 year. They told me they cannot resolve the issue or process the transaction. They refused to provide any extra information.

I quit trying.
Wrong! Tons of "regular users" want to transfer their image library from their phone to their PC. This is usually dozens of GB of data. Very often the tranfer (from iphone to cheap windows laptop via oxidized cable) is not even completly successful.

My usual recomendation for these people is to buy icloud storage ($$$$) and sync the images over the web, because this is faster an less error prone.

EDIT: therefore the average amount of times anyone who buys a non pro iPhone plugs it into a computer with the intent to transfer data to it is almost 0
I was curious why direct-to-cell hasn't been enabled everywhere, and it looks like it's because AT&T claims it would cause them an 18% decrease in network throughput/capacity. AT&T petitioned the FCC to block direct-to-cell rollout because of this.[1] SpaceX responded that AT&T's estimates of interference are incorrect, and that AT&T fails to account for many factors. Also, SpaceX argues that the public good of having cell phone access in remote areas outweighs the slight reduction of network capacity in areas with existing coverage.[2]

My guess is that the truth is somewhere in the middle. All else equal, adding more cell towers to an area will increase interference and decrease performance for existing networks, but I doubt it will be as bad as AT&T claims. Also T-Mobile made a deal with SpaceX to be the sole network with direct-to-cell for the first year after rollout. It seems more likely than not that AT&T is trying to hurt their competition using the FCC. If a different cell network had gotten an exclusive contract, I'm sure it would be T-Mobile petitioning the FCC to block direct-to-cell rollout.

No branch of the US government keeps statistics on how many people get lost in the wilderness and die each year, but it's definitely in the hundreds and possibly over 1,000.[3] Considering how often a working cell phone could save them, I think it's worth enabling direct-to-cell everywhere.

Now account for the amount of mental overhead required for the average person to calculate change or coinage of a random amount in base two coins, as opposed to multiples of 5 or 10, and see if your 3.19 coins per transaction really saves you time.
If you tie yourself to a specific politician, especially in a massively polarised environment, you're going to alienate many people, and it's hardly like Musk wasn't controversial before twitter and his swing to MAGA.
The tutorials here all use local files or local data rather than network-based fuzzing, so I think that's why it doesn't appear.
The wrong July 16th answer is hilarious! Half of the examples that are posted here as proof of the brilliance of LLMs are trivially wrong.
2 is rather irrelevant to the intended use case: devices connecting to a network with pre-shared credentials. Think cash registers and crop humidity sensors connecting to the internet, not cafe wifi.

1 is kind of unavoidable if you want a massively shared medium, mildly reliable connections once set up, and decent throughput.
Of course we would. And anyway the Starlink constellation is low enough that even destroying the whole constellation would have a minimal impact after a decade.
OK, that makes sense. What is the recommended dosage of fluoride?
So does the 74181 ALU.
Seems unlikely, given that May 1933 the attack wasn't just against Hirschfeld, but against the entire Institute, and as a part of the broader "Action against un-German Spirit". FWIW, the US Holocaust Museum specifically says the Nazis hated Hirschfeld not just for being Jewish and for his own sexuality, but for his pacifism and theories about gender - https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/magnus-hir...
What is this witchcraft? I fear that I have seen something that I cannot unsee...
With how close to earth Starlink satellites fly, it won't take hundreds of years. Without the occasional boost back into orbit, it'll only take a couple of years for them to fall back to earth. Same with most spy satellites. We can do without space internet for a few decades if we blow up several of these constellations.

As for further-away satellites (Iridium etc.), that's a bigger risk, but there aren't that many that make sense to target in a war.
You could script it with a headless browser and Playwright, probably, or just inspect the NotebookLM app and make similar API calls to the ones it's sending.
The shape of the TR-1 reminds me of a Radio Shack(Realistic?) transistor radio my amateur radio licensed uncle modified for me probably 20 years after the TR-1 to receive the airbands. I spent hours huddled around that thing listening to the local general aviation traffic dreaming about one day calling out to local traffic while setting up my final. Great article.
You are misinterptreting the law. I won't recollect the specifics now, but I wouldn't bother to comment if I wouldn't know for a fact there is a difference in data packages. My current plan, for instance, is no-limit for a small subset of EU/EEA countries, and about 30 GB cap for the rest of EU/EEA.
Sure, so it's in the signup for the downloading accounts -- that's plausible. If those were free accounts, then I'd agree its fraud. I'm just interested in what interaction was the fraudulent one.

If those were premium accounts, then I doubt it would be fraud.
The same type that risks a nuclear war would easily risk Kessler Syndrome.

And don't forget there are people who think their god would protect them.
A different continent is usually a few hundred milliseconds away. (The worst delay I had in my life was between me in Europe and the target machines in Japan, and the round-trip still was about a second.)

The response time of an under-provisioned or poorly implemented API endpoint on a machine in the same rack can be multiple seconds though :(
This makes the rest of analysis irrelevant. Kind of like most mainstream economics, where they start from some convenient but wrong assumptions, then build an edifice on top of those and make strong statements inferred from said edifice.
You can purchase anti-theft purple die which is used in retail devices for not very much money. We had a problem in my previous building with someone getting through the locked vestibule and stealing packages. Had.
My teenage self did not write "CRAP!" on that page of the hardware manual, but I stared at it for so long trying to figure it out.

In the end I did what pretty much everyone else did, Found the BLTCON0 for Bobs and straight copies and then pretended I newer saw the thing.

I did however get an A+ in computational logic at university years later, so maybe some of the trauma turned out to be beneficial.
Is there a realistic scenario where cell phones are down and there is meaningful coordination being done over SiriusXM?

I don't particularly expect that there would be any effort to lean on AM either.
Hmm, it definitely looks more interesting in combination with effect handlers. Still not sure I find it super compelling in Gleam vs just not using callbacks.
Then 99% who read academic research papers are not the audience for academic research paper. And that's a problem.
I thought Maxmind was the gold standard or am I old?
lol it’s not running out of electricity.

Edit: I’m downvoted but this isn’t even a topic in Taiwan. They don’t have power issues. This is just a rubbish article.
When have you ever seen small caps in use on this website?
"Work" as such is not protectable; it lacks the creative element that e.g. a translation of a book into another language exhibits.
Citation? There are a few large public meshes in the US. I'm unaware of anything that makes them illegal to run.
Well it kind of depends on what exactly happened. For example there are building codes, like "no deadly drops without guardrails". If you leave something like this then you are breaking the law. If somebody dies because of this then it's on you, even if they were breaking another law.

I'm not sure how you could rewrite self defense law to cover this case.
I've been engineering (mostly backend but lots of full stack too) web technologies for almost two decades. Not the world's greatest sage maybe, but I have some solid contributions to open source web frameworks, have worked on projects of all different scales from startups to enterprise media outfits, etc.

And I have this to say: any impediment to learning web development is probably a good thing insofar as the most difficult stumbling block isn't the learning at all, but the unlearning. The web (and its tangential technologies) are not only ever-changing, but ever-accelerating in their rate of change. Anything that helps us rely less on what we've learned in the past, and more on what we learn right in the moment of implementation, is a boon to great engineering.

Every one of the greatest engineers I've worked with doesn't actually know how to do anything until they're about to do it, and they have the fitness to forget what they've learned immediately so that they have to look at the docs again next time.

LLMs are lubricating that process, and it's wonderful.
Also bear in mind that Strunk and White's Elements of Style is tailored for American English. Should you be writing for a British publication, the differences are numerous. Not quite as numerous as the commas and quotation marks that you shall omit, but still worth having within your ken.
You're absolutely right on both accounts - it did work to engage us and that I would rather that such posts don't get upvoted.

Thanks for your understanding. :)
Wow you can figure all of that out from a single sentence?
While I'm less than enthusiastic about Mozilla's recent entrance into the ad-tech industry, it's worth noting that uBlock Origin is not just still available on Firefox and by far its most popular browser extension, but it's also officially recommended. [1]

IMO uBlock Origin has become an integral part of the Firefox experience. Chrome killed uBlock Origin? Firefox can't kill uBlock Origin. It can only kill Firefox.

Because of type safety. The OTP lib is already great, but there are still some things missing, most requested being named processes. But there is work being done to figure out how to best make it work for gleam.
In Italy we had them for 30 years at least, they are everywhere now.
KDE is actually lighter. And hidpi is much better on Qt.
> [...] the Crystal Palace, a 990,000-square-foot building of cast iron and plate glass originally located in Hyde Park. And it was built in an incredible 190 days. [...]

> The design competition for what would become the Crystal Palace was launched in March 1850, with a deadline four weeks later, and the actual, fully constructed building opened on May 1, 1851. The winning design, by Joseph Patterson, wasn't chosen until quite late in the game after numerous designs had been rejected—most because they were simply too far above the 100,000-pound budget.

SO: A 1M sq. foot building, designed and constructed in less than 1 year, at a cost of 1/10 of a British Pound per square feet.

Has human society advanced in the 173 years since then, or regressed?

(Yes, I know about inflation, and antibiotics, and etc.)
There are plenty of courses, classes, and schooling as you dewcribe, it’s just a matter of cost. A LLM is more useful for studying because it feels interactive however a lot of software development in general is applying what learned and what you need.

If you want to spend 10 years growing your career and understanding math with the help of an LLM you will work it out eventually, by gambling on your role at a company and their offering of projects.

If you want to spend 6 months - 6 years understanding the pieces you need for a professional career at various levels (hence the range), you pay for that kind of education.
Cats gotta be out of the bag long by now.

Am I to believe Google classroom isn't storing my students information, from as young as 3rd grade, to sell to 3rd parties once they turn 18? Or am I naive to think they aren't already selling it while they are literally children?
A well-designed set of coins is nice to use, but this is unfortunately rare.

Canada and the USA certainly don't have it. The Euro doesn't, which is odd as the currency is so new -- why are the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins so similar?

The Pound Sterling is generally well-designed, with sets of coins in copper-silver-gold materials, and easily distinguishable sequences of shapes and different sizes. The Danish and Swedish coins also work, in the Danish case with a hole to distinguish some denominations.
It's not that it's wrong—at least I don't think so. It's that it's an example of a choice that is not pragmatic.

I suppose we should agree on what "pragmatic" even means, since it has become something of a cliché term in software engineering. To me, it roughly means "reflective of common and realistic use as opposed to possible or theoretical considerations".

So is having to import basic functionality a pragmatic design? I would argue no. Having to import basic functionality for integers, strings, and IO is not pragmatic in the sense that most realistic programs will use these things. As such, the vast majority of ordinary programs are burdened by extra steps that don't appear to net some other benefit.

Importing these very basic functionalities appeals to a more abstract or theoretical need for fine-grained control or minimalism. Maybe we don't want to use integers or strings in a certain code module. Maybe we want to compile Gleam to a microcontroller where the code needs to be spartan and freestanding.

These aren't pragmatic concerns in the context of the types of problems Gleam is designed to address.

To give a point of comparison, the Haskell prelude might be considered a pragmatic design choice, as can be seen from the article. It is a bundle of common or useful functionality that one expects to use in a majority of ordinary Haskell programs. One doesn't need to "import" the prelude; it's just there.

I don't personally find Gleam's design choice a bad one, and while GP was a bit flippant, I do agree that it is not an example of a pragmatic design choice.
Well if modern-day climate change and overfishing in international waters fall into these "rare" examples where the concept is true, then the concept certainly seems important enough to me. I mean, it's mathematically true from a game-theory perspective in the first place. I don't see why you'd want to throw it out.
How about a fake camera that has some blinking LED but doesn't actually record anything?

And maybe shit in a bag and put it in a retaped Amazon box and leave it out for someone to take. Bonus points if you can stick a bunch of maggots in there that become flies by the time they open it.
> Even large context windows will start failing

What do you mean by that?
There isn't any reason to believe that companies can or even want to identify the lowest performers, especially when doing mass headcount reduction.
I'm going to leave it at "agree to disagree".. But here's my wall of text anyway.

Until something more substantive is done to control who can fingerprint (let's assume this is even a reasonable solution), users are forced to deactivate fingerprinting, and Firefox can NOT roll it out by default (your captchas are the main blocker) - or even expose it as a user option in config and advertise it with caveats that you might get more challenges - right now you don't just get more challenges, you get a broken internet.

And, 36% of the internet bot activity is pretty meaningless. I personally have no problem if 90% of the internet is bot activity.
We have an enormous amount of bot traffic on our websites - I would say the majority - and I don't block any of it that respects our terms - a ton of it is being obviously used to train LLMs or improve search engines - more power to them. And honestly there's probably an opportunity for monetisation here. Some of it is security scans. Whatever. That is not a problem. Non-human users of the internet will inevitably arise as integration does, and I've written many a bot myself. Abuse is the problem. There are ways to tackle abuse that aren't fingerprinting. Smarter heuristics (which are obviously not being used by the "captcha" companies or I would not be getting blocked on routine use of sites like FedEx or Drupal or my bank after following a link from that bank or service), hash cash, smarter actual turing tests that verify not "human-like" spoofable profiles, but actual human-like competence... without fingerprinting. What we have right now is laziness and the fact that fingerprinting is profitable so there is actually an incentive to discourage it by all parties involved. It'll never be perfect but what we have now is far far far from that.

I will say, BTW, that bots are not that hard to block. On a website I maintain we went from 1000+ bot accounts a month to 0 in many years, simply by adding an extra hand-rolled element to a generic captcha. The generic captchas are what bots bother to break in most cases. (that would probably not apply to massive services, but those also have the capacity to keep creating new custom ones, and be a moving target - probably would just require one programmer full-time really)

And yes, businesses need to implement it these "captcha" solutions better, but the people offering the solutions are not offering them with transparency as to the issues or clean integration with APIs. It's just get the contract, drop in front of all traffic, move on.

And, for god's sake, implement the captcha sanely. Don't require third party javascript, cookies, etc. Have the companies proxy it through their website so standard security and privacy measures don't block by default which happens almost all the time. In fact in many cases even the feedback when blocked, is also blocked facepalm. Don't block by default on a "suspicious" (i.e. generic) fingerprint as what happens quite often now. Actually SHOW a captcha so the user has a fighting chance and knows what is going on.
Cool, but actually it was just 0x0A all along! The symbolic representation was always just an alias. It didn’t actually go through 81 generations of rustc to get back to “where it really came from”, as you’d be able to see if you could see the real binary behind the symbols. Yes I am just being a bit silly for fun, but at the same time, I know I personally often commit the error of imagining that my representations and abstractions are the real thing, and forgetting that they’re really just headstuff.
Yes, of course, you are right. And that is what I would do. And actually what I did do. Recently made a JS-free personal website, still fully responsive and has some foldable content and so on.

However, people at $job would not listen to me, when I said, that it could be done without jumping on the React hype train and went ahead with React and a framework based on React, to make a single page app, completely unnecessary and occupying multiple frontend devs fulltime with that, instead of simply using a traditional web framework with a templating engine and knowledge about HTML and CSS. So I am no longer in that role to make some as-little-as-possible-JS thing happen. I was a fullstack developer, but I don't want to deal with the madness, so I withdrew from the frontend part.

See, I don't have a problem with doing this. It is just that people think they need a "modern web framework" and single page apps and whatnot, when they actually don't and have very limited interactive widgets on their pages and have rather pages of informational nature. Then comes the router update taking 2 weeks, or a framework update taking 2-3 weeks, or new TS version being targeted... Frequent work, that wouldn't even exist with a simpler approach.

I routinely transfer GB of photos taken for work to my PC via imazing.

The sentiment of “I don’t need it so I can’t understand why anyone else would either” is asinine.
Huh, an image search for "plaster painting" turns up lots of people doing basically stucco bas-relief, like back in antiquity. I had no idea this was trendy.
I think I see where the discussion frequently diverges on these threads - you're pointing out that incarceration does not appear to decrease offenses, while myself and others are pointing out why more incarceration is an outcome (desired, if we're being opinionated) of more offenses.

I think you're onto something in calling your point out, but at the same time, it's daring commenters to ask you what any society's response to crimes should be.

Rather than be coy, I'll stick my neck out and claim incarceration is about optimizing for outcomes among the peaceful/orderly middle and higher classes. We don't have to worry about the philosophical question of why crime occurs, or whether incarceration will work overall, it works well enough to deflect crimes away from certain locally policed areas and demographics and that flawed approach is good enough to keep the unkind, leaky system going.
For fiction it would be Dan Simmons’s Hyperion for me, it would be a great short stories anthology, but is far more than that.

Should the project be renamed to WFCE?
I have an unlimited 5G plan in the US, works like a charm, etc. But once I cross an ocean, the connectivity is suddenly very limited, and mobile data is expensive. So, until I buy a local SIM card, or maybe for a few hours of a layover in an airport, is where airport Wi-Fi may be really helpful.
