Disagreement? Literally nowhere in either of your comments did anyone actually explain how government spending is deflationary.

There is nothing to disagree with, no claims were made!
Measuring blood pressure on the wrist is tricky. I usually do three measurements to get an accurate reading. I have two machines I use. The older one is actually better than the new one. Another thing is, pay attention to how you feel. I can feel my blood pressure when it's high and usually know when the device reading is off. I do this because my family has a history of high blood pressure and so far because of lifestyle choices I have avoided the need for meds.
WhatsApp also demands full access to your address book, this means that Meta has a nearly global FoaF graph for anyone that has ever installed WhatsApp.
It's because S3 api is quite a fair bit worse than what they offer. They define their guarantees for storage products way more clearly than other clouds, and for blob storage, from my understanding, their model is better than S3.
MP4 can handles up to 255 audio tracks, and 255 subtitle tracks. Maybe some players only support a single track of each, but the built-in players on Mac, iOS, and Windows support it out of the box. It only officially supports a few audio codecs, and one subtitle format (not SSA or SRT).

MP4 is the basis for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and multiple audio tracks and subtitles/closed captions are required for something like that.
This is so important. You don’t want to stop flows from happening because of a bug or bad config. Just keep track of the override who did it when and if possible a quick blurb. Then ensure those exceptions are caught and fed to dev.
A lot of things should be solved by having (micro)caching in front of your wiki. Almost all non-logged in requests shouldn't even be hitting PHP at all.
Not if you have to pay to set up your tent legally, which you conveniently forgot to respond to. The only place I found so far that is free is BLM dispersed camping, but they allow only 14 consecutive days in 28 day period, and those places are far from civilization, so buying those beans is going to be a challenge.

Sorry, but with such an outrageously low estimate (US poverty line is $15k a year), you have to put in a bit more effort and show some receipts.

Yet the gov.uk website about domestic abuse has a Chinese version (among other languages which I imagine also requires different setups): https://www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-help.z...

You def dont need to learn Erlang to code in Elixir (other than maybe the very basics to interact with some Erlang libraries like ETS).

It's not the library per se, it's that the library will require all-or-nothing buy in from your entire development team for it to be useful and persistently maintained, similar to how Rambda affected a codebase and a development team.

It's the same effect as adding async code to Python or Rust, suddenly the entire team and the entire codebase (and often dependency choices) must adhere to it.
The Noita wiki moved away from Fandom to noita.wiki.gg due to ads, etc. The Fandom one still exists, of course, but has no community backing and lacks information from the newer updates of the game.

Unfortunately the Fandom wiki is still the first link when searching on DDG :-(
It can go up to 48%. But as in most countries, it's progressive: you pay X% over the first A€, then Y% over the next B€, etc.

Then you have Social Security (mandatory): 11% on the employee and 23,75% on the employer, or 21,4% for independent workers.
Here's hoping we eventually get IMAP labels and virtual folders :fingers-crossed:
As someone who knows English and is learning German, the words "Handy" for smartphone, or "Beamer" for overhead projector, or "Oldtimer" for classic car all sound very out of place. Even hearing "das Baby" for a nursing-age baby (instead of the German "Säugling") sounds a bit weird.

I guess it's different when you grew up with those words and internalized them.
I'm not claiming you will get nutrition from it, I'm saying these thing are not toxic to the body because it has the necessary biological mechanisms to handle it.

It's the same way that, even though you shouldn't drink it, acetone is barely toxic, because your body knows how to process it.

I should remind you that there are other plastics, but polyethylene is not one of the toxic ones.

(Gas, as in gasoline, has benzene which is a different category. Note also that many plastics have plasticizers which are also a different category, although polyethylene rarely has any, it's possible that it could.)
I used Scrum with my teams for about 1.5 year, and tried hard to adjust the framework. Then we switched to Kanban, which matches much better the realities of an innovative and B2B product.

The main benefit of scrum is that it forces stakeholders to discuss goals and priorities.

But the framework itself has flaws in its philosophy. The Scrum book is adamant that the results of a sprint should be a user facing change, which doesn't always aligned with the "path of most value generated" that an organization should follow. For instance my team is working right now on transitioning our data storage system to a different offering in Azure as the type of PostgreSQL service we use is being retired. That's a non user facing but imperative change. Similarly, as our products are getting mature we work on both incremental improvements and longer term (6-12 months) ML/AI projects which are discussed with our clients. Our product manager has to be involved with those too and sometimes prioritize engineering work related to them. Scrum simply ignore this reality of operational tasks, and medium/long term value generation
You need to keep reading the rest of what we wrote there. We were not disputing that explanation of a consideration. We are saying there can’t be a consideration in a donation and two employees of Automattic contemporaneously claimed it was donation. Either there wasn’t a donation or there isn’t a valid license agreement.

You also didn't address the other issues at all.
"Cyberpanics" and Global Disinformation Campaigns
I agree with this. I want to add a product perspective here too. If your product partner routinely tries to understand your suggestions and translate them into the things that matter to themselves and the broader organization, that's a good partner.

And on the subject of things that are good to learn early in your career, everyone should know that every business is barely good enough for what it is. If it was materially better at something else that mattered, for example to its market or its economics, it would be a different business. For profit businesses are pretty effective equilibrium finding entities. I used to get really frustrated that people didn't care about improving things that I wanted to improve, until I realized that in most instances those things wouldn't really change any outcome in the business. In the cases where it would really change the business outcome, I realized the company couldn't prioritize effectively.
Wordpress probably still enforces magic quotes which made me bail the hell out when I looked into it ten years ago.
Checklist automation is a very powerful tool. Making a script that just calls the checklist that you walk through is the first step because you have to debug the checklist. It's really hard to automate something if you don't really known what it is you are doing, and steps are always missed.
Once you debug the checklist you can start automating the steps and then you find the things that are easy for humans to do but hard for computers. That's the fun part.
In one case I worked on, they automated the sales funnel, but then customers started asking for refunds and complaining online. Turns out the automation didn't work.
I got a team together to get the customers happy and then did a Stalin's Postman test where we walked through the whole process. All but one of the steps failed.
Now that we knew what was failing, we could start the process for fixing it.
Ah, yes, I just fixed that. While you edit, if the code is not valid now it will prevent from crashing the whole thing (band-aid fix).
I think in general the deal in EU is terrible for young and not so young productive people. Taxes on income are high, real estate is very expensive as the land is already taken by others (who usually pay very little tax on it). There is regulatory capture in many industries so you need to first spend years in school then more years to get various certificates and then often you need to work for basically free until you can jump to to the other side of the barricade and start exploiting newcomers.

Taxes are high in Europe because we fund older generations and have oversized wasteful public sector. It has nothing to do with education (very low % of overall budget), healthcare (you are funding it mainly for old people paying multiple of you fair share if you have any kind of decent job) or "social safety nets". I hope more countries push against that. Portugal has fantastic weather and landscapes, same for Greece. Attract enough productive people who are fed up with being diary cows for pensioners and bureaucrats who never worked an honest day in their lives but are very qualified to spend your money and things will start happening there.
> And given too left-leaning and fanatical green-deal-at-all-costs push

Investing heavily in renewable technology and R&D doesn't mean spending less on military or industrial capacity - in fact it's fairly dual use.

Furthermore, US, China, SK, JP, and others manage to balance both.

The issue is most EU members stopped funding their militaries following the fall of the Berlin Wall and redeployed that capital elsewhere - especially during the European Recession+Currency Crisis (1990-95), GFC (2008-11), and Eurozone Crisis (2008-2014).
Just looking at salaries and taxes makes for a very distorted view of wealth and affordable lifestyle in the US vs elsewhere. Even if you take into account ALL the major variables such as college costs/loans, housing prices, real estate taxes, cost of healthcare, retirement, etc, it is very difficult to compare.

You can better see the reality by looking at actual examples of families with massively different incomes living in the US vs elsewhere. It takes WAY higher salary (5x?) in the US to enjoy the same lifestyle as someone in the UK, for example.
You better have rerankers in RAG
That's up to the site owner.

For example I configured my osdev wiki (mediawiki based) so that the history and other special pages get the Cloudflare test but just viewing a page doesn't trigger it. OpenAI and other bots were generating way too much traffic to pages they don't need.

Blame the bots that are DDOS'ing sites for the captchas.

Yuck. These “helpful systems” (of all flavors) inevitably, whether it’s a day or six weeks, become just another nagging burden to become averse to.

And using examples like “cleaning the kitchen” is insulting. Not everyone with ADHD is a low-functioning sub-normal…

I doubt the author of this has ADHD.
Geneva conventions don't really have a good enforcement story, either - not against countries like Russia (or China, or US). If you're Rwanda or Yugoslavia, that's a different story, but note that in those cases it was UNSC that established the corresponding tribunals, so if the violator has UNSC veto power, that avenue is effectively blocked.
Sadly, Fandom still has a lot of search mojo. For instance, when searching for "minecraft redstone filter bedrock" I get a link to the Fandom minecraft wiki rather than minecraft.wiki. Hopefully over time, that corrects itself.

Also, the Google search results page for that search made me pine for the good old days of Google being 10 real links…
And Switzerland is most like the US out of European countries, albeit an idealized version of the US.

It has private healthcare mandated by the government, and an economy favorable to capital. It has a federal system where most of the power and spending resides with the cantons(states), and much closer to the voters.

The Swiss constitution was actually modeled after that of the US.
If time is of the essence, why are you wasting it requiring 3 key presses and a site load? It take longer to do that vs a single shortcut, and is more visible (pages don't load immediately)

which is easier achieved when the browser is closed vs. when a browser is opened, since in the latter case it's easier to think about checking "previous" browser history

From the article

> (hint: it’s all about the domain). If we ever start going down the same path as Fandom, everyone can just leave! I would love to see other wiki platforms start to do this, because I think it’s the only way you really solve the problem.

So yes, the wikis have their own domains for this exact reason.

'Obviously a huge part of this is the error propagation that we get down the joint chain... but"

This shouldn't be glossed over and a proper consideration of the error metric here is key to storing quality animation with fewer bits, lower bandwidth and higher performance.
What would you say is the performance difference between say running a qt app as native compiled vs running it in WASM? I’ve always been curious but never tried. I know it would vary based on the application but I’m guessing something that is maybe calculating some Monte Carlo model and then displaying the result or something else along those lines that actually will max out the CPU at times rather than be waiting on human interaction 99%of the time.
I never thought of it that way but IPA's always taste off to me.
Former Wikia engineer here too! I also thought there was a lot of potential there. We even invested in some RDF and structured data and NLP projects (second screen, sentiment analysis on comments for detecting flame wars, etc), but for various reasons they just didn't work out beyond hackathons and demos. I think there were a lot of well meaning engineers who wanted to make stuff like that work. Part of the problem is mediawiki itself. A page is literally just text using an awful hacked together xml parser and some regexes to emit HTML. It might look like a database sometimes when it is rendered (and there is Wikidata) but there is no actual structure to it, just a pile of templates made of other templates that people have to tediously wrangle by hand. That it eventually turns into some HTML that you can view is almost an accident.

Theoretically, sure. In reality this isn’t reflected in the immigration policy of any large economy. Portugal makes news with this for a reason.

The path to GM: some thoughts on becoming a general manager (2005)
Well, technically a call to range_mul() is still pure and it matches the definition: it has no side effects, and it returns a new instance of the same object (the generator); the generator itself is inpure of course, so I concede the point. But that's a limitation of python generators being one-shot; with proper delimited continuations you can snapshot the state at any point and replay it at leisure, not differently than a lazy stream.

Regarding the rest, I was referring to this comment from int_19h re encapsulation:

"In general, so long as mutation can be encapsulated in modules that only expose pure functional interfaces, I think it should still count as FP for practical purposes."
"Humans and proto-humans have been eating large herbivores as the majority of our diet since ~2M years ago"

I'm pretty skeptical that this specific type of meat was a majority of the diet by itself and I can't find anything to actually back that up. I struggle to find anything to back up most of what you said but the start was what jumped out at me the most.
Yes but actually the use is still going down, because so many people from those regions are moving to Zürich and larger cities. There are more speakers in Zürich now.

I know some people that talk to there parents in Rumantsch that but most likely wont teach it to their children.

It will survive but its not really thriving either. Other languages is a great way to push against an 'enemy' language, like the revival of Gaulish in Ireland.

But we will get pretty good AI of it since there is so much official documentation in it.

With Weird Gloop they have agreements that the community can move the wiki away from Weird Gloop if that happens. For example this one is not legally binding yet, but once the minecraft wiki had a legal entity it will be: https://meta.minecraft.wiki/w/Memorandum_of_Understanding_wi...
Yes, when I said "what happened" I was referring to how quickly the site changed for the worse and how extreme the decline was, not just the fact that it has ads. Most sites do follow the pattern described in the parent because they can't escape the need to make money, the transition is usually very gradual and they often stop at the point of sustainability, rather than pushing to the absolute maximum of short-term audience-destroying profit.

@zoeysmithe I'm sorry for the mass downvotes though, I think you are basically right. I still think it's worth noting private equity ownership because while we can't really choose what economic system we're in, we can often choose to work with people who care about more than just profit.
"Big banks have most of the money" and "Big Banks have gotten bigger" has absolutely nothing to do with "Are there small banks". I was talking to some folks I know in this world this week about a small bank they're starting, so it's not 2000 we're stuck in. I get "Big Banks are Bad" is the horse you want to beat, tho long dead, but there's plenty of room in this thread to shoehorn your pet gripe where it would be at least remotely on-topic.
I bought a bag of those very cheaply in Bolivia cca 8 years ago, locals used some sort of chalky 'activator' with it, so did I.

Strange comment. The top WordPress plugin is focused on SEO.
Understandable! The documentation provides quite more guidance now (and there is nothing wrong with naming your context after your "models").
This is actually really simple to solve: product articulates the problem, engineering designs the solution.

When product tries to design the solution, tosses it over the fence, and engineers who don't know any better just implement it, you end up with a codebase that consists of parts duct-taped onto the side of other parts. Over time this compounds the cost of future development.

When you let engineering design the solution, they design for reuse, with the lightest touch. This decreases the cost of future development by keeping the codebase maintainable, understandable, unsurprising, simple, etc.

If your user stories from product contain implementation details, you need to guide the discussion back to the actual problem that needs to be solved.
The difference in the kitchen analogy is the Chef comes from a background in cooking food and was once a kitchen cook. Many in product are completely non technical. In this case the kitchen cooks and minor chefs will be told to cook dishes out of season, and do impractical things. I view product and engineering as a complementary resource not one directing the other what to do. Often times "what" is dictated by "how" in software development
Right off the bat I can see where they are going astray.

> In Scrum, Product Owners have sole authority over the Product Backlog; they control what to build and when to build it.

True, POs have authority over the Product Backlog. Guess what they don't have authority over? The Sprint Backlog - you know, where things actually get made, not just talked about. A PO actually has zero _authority_ over the Scrum team at all.

I am also curious if it supports taking (entire) tables as inputs and creating derived tables from them which can then be presented as chart etc. That would be really powerful.
