Why would you want that?

All Unix text processing tools assume that every line in a text file ends in a newline. Otherwise, it's not a text file.

There's no such thing as a "trailing newline," there is only a line-terminating newline.

I've yet to hear a convincing argument why the last line should be an exception to that extremely long-standing and well understood convention.
Videos of lacrymaria single cell organisms (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lacrymaria+olor&t=ffab&iar=images&...) show how absurdly sophisticated they are, with complex deformation of their membrane, which itself is remarkable.
Then it isn't entry level work. Entry level work is work you can do without experience and do it "right" in that the job gets done without errors. Shoveling concrete is entry level. Laying a proper concrete foundation is not. Operating a chop saw is entry level. Framing a house is not.
I don’t credit just Elon. It’s tons of people. But he did do a good job getting this thing going and has some role in pushing them to take risks and do hard things.

Shotwell is probably a big reason SpaceX does better than Tesla or the others. Elon needs to be paired with a cooler head that knows how to manage well. I get the sense the others don’t have anyone as strong in that role.
Thanks! Yes, I’m working solo on this. I’m planning to launch premium features soon next month, including order functionality, customization options, and full analytics. For payment processing, I’m considering Stripe/LemonSqueezy, but I'll confirm closer to launch.
I know you really, really want me to think that I was owed new Python 2 versions of other people's libraries, but I'm not going to. I've already explained several times that what I think is bad is not people dropping backward compatibility with Python 2, but demonstrating the intent to publicly shame anyone who continued to maintain backward compatibility.

All of your comments are arguing against a position I've never held as if it were my position, well after you have no reasonable excuse for that error. That's dishonest and offensive.
AM doesn't use the frequency for modulation though so it shouldn't matter.
It's pushing the limits but it's close enough to existing capability to be a pretty easy ask.
Ah okay, yeah I kind of thought about that too, having to start over but I've heard there's less ageism in traditional engineering roles so I figured over the long term it wouldn't be as bad.

Maybe that's something I should try first, diving into other subjects like graphics programming. In my spare time I just try to pursue other frontend projects and I end up not making much progress, maybe because I already do it so much for my day job. Can you point me to any resources you recommend for graphics programming? I've been playing around with three.js but that's still pretty high level.

My main worry is definitely AI. I feel like I have to increasingly prove my worth, and not even to my job but to myself. I worry that in the future I'll be laid off and it'll be hard to find another opportunity. That's also where the degree comes in as another worry. It feels like a no brainer that in a pool of applicants, someone with a degree would get picked over someone without one.

I appreciate you sharing your experience with EE and your thoughts about AI. It's nice to get another perspective on everything.
Lightning is a great example of noise causing amplitude changes and not frequency changes. That’s why during a thunderstorm am radio plays each strike between the station and you. The is usually not any indication of lightning strikes on FM.

Technology? Living cells don't look like the transistor-based technology we have, and we don't understand how cells work to make such broad assumptions. It seems to me that if transistor-based lifeforms exist, they look nothing like the organic lifeforms on our planet.
The code draws full orbit ellipse if selected to do so, but the original picture was rendered using a different mode, where just a small slice of the orbit arc is rendered, pretty much showing an instantaneous position of asteroid.

Now, I am pretty sure actual positions are not correct relative to each other (it is the same position on ellipse arc, should be actual position of the asteroid) but MPC file doesn't provide this information - you need ephemeris from here:

It's true. Smart people tend to have a lot of novel ideas, most of which are going to be retarded. Most people just have no ideas.
This is impractical in many situations, because tools that process build-source files (for example XML files that control the build, or generated source files) inherently generate CRLF on Windows. These are many, many, many tools, not just one’s text editor.

The correct solution is to use .gitattributes.

Curious how tech-oriented parents here are approaching TikTok et al with their kids.

Well... It kind of does. The source of the radio station is a kind of flashlight, just on a different frequency. The tree is still a tree (and all the other objects)
"Disaster" LOL. 0 injuries. That's how Spacex does it. Blow it up and iterate, and that's why they are decades ahead of the competition. So useless government bureaucrats, not Elon Musk, almost set them back a year over a stupid concrete launch pad.
The flashlight is the radio tower, the tree is the tree, and the radio in the car is your eyes. There is no analogy here, it is literally the same EM waves shifted up to where our eyes can see them.

It's like saying that the violins is merely an analogy for how a double base works.
You have a Mac with fractional scaling, your screenshots show the common blurriness render issue more than anything else I believe.

Apart from that there is clearly a size difference but I agree that it's quite close. I think it's good to be detailed oriented but I'm not sure the fetish around Latex rendering is warranted.
Also I want my kid exposed to technology, to learn to use and develop with it, but how do you balance that with preventing the damages it seems to cause? We are delaying screen-time for my 2 year old till he's at least 5 or 6 but not sure when is the right time to introduce.

I love seeing articles where someone clearly really loves something and has thought deeply about it, internalized all the lessons, and then gone out of their way to share it all in detail.

The Airforce museum in Dayton is amazing. We stopped off there on a roadtrip and after the entrance exhibit and the first hanger my wife said how great it was and how much she'd enjoyed it.

Then I told her about the next 3 hangers.

It's huge. Really, really huge. There are giant planes that seem tiny in the hangers and take up just a small bit of each. You can walk through or sit in a lot of them, and quite a few have their histories and are significant aircraft.

Then after seeing everything my kids loved the simulator which is a full 5-point harness, can roll a full 360 degree style one. You could hear their screams of joy/fear as they flew around. They loved it so much I had to fly it with them, several times to make sure they'd really enjoyed it as much as I did.
Both concepts are based on frequency and amplitude of waves (radio vs light).
What evidence do we have other than predictions from people who have an obvious financial interest, or just pump stock like Altman?

Do you know how many people have predicted imminent AGI (and many other doomsday scenarios) in the last 100 years? I have lived through two AI winters already. I won’t say it can’t happen but I don’t think anyone knows when or what it might look like, or what social/economic effects it might have.
i have watched tiktok regularly for 2-3 years, and till this day I only get pandas/ hippo videos. It seems it depends on viewer nature.
It seems like a pretty reasonable choice when thinking about Luanti as a game engine instead of a game. If someone is choosing a game engine to write a game in, one of their most significant considerations is likely to be what programming languages are supported, so highlighting Lua in the name of the engine is not a bad idea.
I've been using it for years with zero problems.

I teach fifth grade at an upscale private school. None of the children in my homeroom have cell phones; one has an apple watch.

I think more parents are becoming aware of the problem, which in turn makes social pressure less of an issue.

reading "Teamsters Local 853 - Drivers - Group 1 Class" for coastal HCL California -- it appears that the base pay rate is $35.95 per hour for a journeyman (practicing member). New hires have 3000 hours to perform before getting journeyman status (about 18 months) and other conditions apply. Trainees are paid less than full journeymen. The Teamsters may have negotiated additional pay package for UPS drivers of various kinds, especially regarding overtime.

The fact that the parent comment cites a short national news story, and crucially fails to distinguish between many specialized kinds of drivers among UPS operations, shows superficial knowledge IMHO.
> In this lawsuit against you and your mother, is it you or her who is accused of sexual harassment and racism?

Both (and the company through which they employed the plaintiff) are accused of the various discrimination, harassment, wage theft, etc., violations.

(EDIT: Though his mother is apparently accused of doing the direct racially- and religiously-bigoted statements, and the persistent graphic descriptions of Matt's sexual escapades, Matt's role -- other than as ultimately responsible as employer -- is participating directly in retaliation by taking complaints about the behavior back to his mother who accelerated rather than taking action to curtail them.)

> I don’t have access to read the case details.

You don't need access, you just need to go straight to the court site instead of a third-party aggregator.

And, if you had a nickel for every currently-active lawsuit against Matt and his mom for that kind of thing filed on June 9, 2022, you'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's interesting that there is more than one...

Databases is an extremely slow-maturing area, similar to programming languages, but are all deviations from Postgres shiny and hipster?

The idea of colocating data and behavior is really a quantifiable reduction in complexity. It removes latency and bandwidth concerns, which means both operational concerns and development concerns (famously the impact of the N+1 problem is greatly reduced). You can absolutely argue that networked Postgres is better for other reasons (and you may be right) but SQLite is about as boring and predictable as you can get, with known strong advantages. This is the reason it’s getting popular on the server.

That said, I don’t like the idea of creating many small databases very much - as they suggest with Durable Objects. That gives noSQL nightmares - breaking all kinds of important invariants of relational dbs. I think it’s much preferable to use SQLite as a monolithic database like it’s done in their D1 product.
If the noise is white gaussian noise (AWGN) then the phase noise is essentially the same as the amplitude noise (by the properties of the Fourier Transform).

Also, the information in AM is carried by the relative amplitude of the signal. Flat attenuation like you're describing doesn't really distort the AM signal. What does impact both AM and FM is frequency selectivity. Imagine light traveling through a prism and being split by frequency. If there are obstacles in the way, some colors won't pass through as well. The is can cause distortions in FM as the receiver loses lock on the signal. Am suffers from this too, but people are less likely to notice because they're used to these distortions -- these kind of effects happen with sound too.

As other posters have mentioned, the reason FM sounds better is that it has more bandwidth for the signal.
This makes a lot of sense so long as your source of noise is something like a tree swaying in the wind, ie something that interferes with the amplitude. If instead the source of noise is uhhh a piece of stained glass swaying in the wind then blinking the flashlight is the better bet. I guess it just turns out radio interference is more like the tree. But why?
I'm aware of these factors, wasn't trying to suggest that the practice doesn't differ from the theory. What I was more going for was to highlight that the goal should be to primarily try and have these eventually converge, preferably sooner than later, not trying to strongarm the practice side and wait for the standards body in question to wake up one day and decide to amend the standard. That might give the impression of suddenness, but the core issue remains unsolved that way.

Usually when there's a high disparity between the "de jure" and the "de facto", it's due to a discrepancy in the interests and the leverage, resulting in a breakdown in communication and cooperation. Laying into either then is a bandaid attempt, not a solution. It's how either standard sprawl starts, or how standards bodies lose relevance.
Just use Brave. You'll thank me later ...
Better is in the ears of the beholder. Personally I prefer AM because I can hear multiple stations at once, and hear sources of wideband EM interference in my environment.

'Coolest job on Earth': Antarctica welcomes new postmaster
Something I've been thinking about recently is how much of the economy is basically just trust-peddling. Jobs and entire companies that essentially only exist to vouch for the people who do the actual work (and take a healthy cut of the pay in the process). In some cases, this is probably a useful service. In others, it's clearly preying on the trust deficits that certain people, who are otherwise hard-working, upstanding members of society, suffer from. That's parallel to how big corporations have convinced us to trust them and their representatives over independent workers. Sadly, a lot of the attempts to disrupt this status quo just end up with a new middleman.
I'm actually studying for my general ham radio license right now! Most FM receivers use something called a "mixer" to modulate the frequency to a known constant, then they use a circuit called a "discriminator" or "quadrature", both of which are "detectors".

Typically they're not measuring the frequency or phase itself, but rather the change in frequency or phase.

Edit: I should note that's only for analog circuits. DSP is also common.
>One document shows one TikTok project manager speaking candidly about the time-limit feature’s real goal: “improving public trust in the TikTok platform via media coverage,” the TikTok employee said. Our goal is not to reduce the time spent.”

TikTok's response is to claim quotes like this are out of context, but they also seem unable or unwilling to provide the context in which statements like this are OK.
I know someone in the US with Symbolics hardware (actual Lisp machines and MacIvory) as well as TI MicroExplorer for quiet sale. Email is in profile.
Ha, ha, ha! I love it. I believe the author is serious, and I think he's on to something.

OP clearly says that most things in fact don't break if you just don't comply with the CRLF requirement in the standard and send only LF. (He calls LF "newline". OK, fine, his reasoning seems legit.) He is not advocating changing the language of the standard.

To all those people complaining that this is a minor matter and the wrong hill to die on, I say this: most programmers today are blindly depending on third-party libraries that are full of these kinds of workarounds for ancient, weird vestigial crud, so they might think this is an inconsequential thing. But if you're from the school of pure, simple code like the SQLite/Fossil/TCL developers, then you're writing the whole stack from scratch, and these things become very, very important.

Let me ask you instead: why do you care if somebody doesn't comply with the standard? The author's suggestion doesn't affect you in any way, since you'll just be using some third-party library and won't even know that anything is different.

Oh bUT thE sTandArDs.
Unless your editor is in auto-indent mode. ;)
Most FM receivers nowadays rely on creating a signal of a specific frequency that interferes with the desired on-dial frequency, this is called an intermediate frequency. Then the actual audio signal is analogous to the changes on that IF.

This technique is known as superheterodyne, and Technology Connections has a wonderful video explaining it better than I can.
Thanks for the reading recommendations. Sunkara's manifesto for me is the best put case with the most brevity.

I haven't read those, I've mostly read stuff like Piketty and Sunkara, or smaller more focused stuff like Zuboff's surveillance capitalism or Rifkin's green new deal , caste, Harvey's history of neoliberalism, or Hannah Arendt's work that generally rebukes capitalism more than it does fundamentally bolster the ideas of socialism - You do make me reflect I haven't read much that's meant to be anything other than stuff from my side though
You can use literally any bandwidth with literally any form of radio-wave modulation.
Even better, there were hooks that allowed a machine-code routine triggered by & to further interpret the rest of the statement, so you could have a special-purpose "&print" statement, for instance.
Try $250 for a capacitor here in Texas - they know you can’t afford to take a few days to shop around due to the heat. What I’ve found works over the years: get the phone number of a few HVAC guys as you encounter them and offer them $50 to come when you need them. They’ll never pull the “you should cal l my employer” because most are contractors who need to buy their own equipment.
ooooo Yea forgot about RTK GPS. I’ve always found them to be so brittle but that’s because I’m in a city.

In the wide open sky, I’m guessing it’s pretty reliable.
