That’s a big difference. (Also, is it company or personal residence?)
We can only draw the obvious conclusion: Namely that Google plans to introduce a lot more ads once they have an iron grip on the consumer. If Google did that before Google destroyed ad blockers, regular people would indeed start to use ad blockers.
> staring at nothing would be suspicious in the situations where "exit page" is supposed to be used.

This is actually not true. Having a browser opened leads to the thought of "let's check the previous page/browser history" easier (since the browser is right there to remind you) than a situation of "oh, I've just logged in" or the activity of doing anything else leads to the thought of having to check a browser

I dont understand your question.
It’s worth remembering that there was AI before generative AI, and there are applications of AI that don’t produce slop, like knowledge graphs and natural language search. Some of that might be called just “machine learning” now.
This is a great response. I would add that this is how any larger project gets evaluated and prioritized. In smaller companies, especially startups, I have seen the friction show up when the company is too small to have any staff dedicated to working architecture and engineering facing engineering systems, but big enough that their past choices are creating friction. At that unique point in time, it's really an organizational issue more than anything.
When my wife and I moved in together, we had a spat about what "sell by" dates actually meant. She had been throwing away loads of perfectly good food because she misunderstood the meaning of the sell-by date. I don't remember who taught me what they actually mean, but I was able to point her to a USDA site that showed the actual meaning.

I'm pretty sure that was the only time I have ever been right when she and I disagreed about something kitchen-related, by the way.

I think the ban makes sense when you consider that CA still has a provision for a "best by" date. Some more education is still necessary, though. Certain foods can go months or years past their "best by" date and still be perfectly safe - even if they might taste a little funky.
You have decades of information to make an informed decision on Thomas Robb's KKK. To say something like "I support Thomas Robb if he reduced racism" is to float the idea that the Grand wizard of the Klan can be instrumental in reducing racism.

I would also appreciate if you did not keep repeating "if [baseless assertion]" over and over. It doesn't help move the conversation forward, and you might unintentionally be invoking the illusory truth effect.

Sure, but also the least interesting because that difference is very obvious, that's why I'm asking for other differences...
Yeah the more dedicated fans have usually gone off to the independent wiki instead, leaving the Fandom one a hellscape of rumours and outdated information. Just compare the versions of Nintendo wikis in the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance and their Fandom equivalents for example, and the quality difference is like night and day.

Same goes with just about every wiki that has a counterpart that's not on Fandom.
It's not just blogging. For example, the Whitehouse uses WordPress for its site. Nasa uses it on some of their sites as does the National Archives. On the commercial side you have The New Yorker, BBC America, Sony, Disney, Facebook and Bloomberg all using it in some capacity. There are many more of course, but that should give you an idea.

So, while you're right - online publishing doesn't have popular mindshare - it is a massive part of the online economy.

I'm not saying that qualifies WP for anti-trust investigation, but your underlying premise that WordPress is irrelevant is not congruent with reality.

What is weird gloop doing exactly ?

Is it hosting it on cloudflare / using cloudflare workers or what exactly (because I heard cloudflare being mentioned here)

I am all ears because hosting a static site is basically free thanks to github pages / cloudflare pages , but having a site which changes a lot (a wiki can have changes be applied to at an insane rate , though I am not sure if we could use something like git as a wiki
I think wikis also allow messages between users

It’s pretty dismissive of painters to say it requires no decisions.

Painting requires a lot of decisions, from the coverage, speed of drying, (for additional layers) protecting the environment, ensuring equal coverage (paint guns are harder than they look for quality and consistent coverage).

Cut in near non-painted features is a whole thing as well.

But sure, let’s dismiss an entire trade because SWE is so special.

There is no connection. Tsar and Kaiser are both derived from the name Caesar, which became a royal title (along with Augustus) in the 300s under Diocletian.

We're redesigning the business phone network from the ground up. Starting with mobile apps and a softphone, we're losing the jargon (who cares what an IVR is?) and building features customers actually want.

We try to be flexible around work and don't believe in regular 60-hour weeks. One key aim of our product is to help employees maintain a healthy work/life balance (who wants to be disturbed by business calls on the weekends?) in an age of remote and hybrid work. The founders lead by example, with all of us having worked 4-4.5 day weeks at times in order to spend time with our children.

We're looking for full stack software engineers and/or an iOS/android software engineer - doesn't matter if you're much stronger in either the front or back end, but you do need to be able to build all the parts of a feature - there's no "front end team" once the backend is done. There is naturally work that's much more one sided, so you won't be stuck for months on the back end if you prefer the front end, but we're still a small startup so we expect you to get stuck in and help out where you can!

How does deprecation without removal differ from a best practice?

Actually, there is a wrist device called "Aktiia" that's approved for use for continuous BP monitoring with clinical accuracy by the UK and German health authorities (I believe). It's a bit of a pain to get over the pond, but with a shipment-forwarding company + a UK App Store account you can get up and running.

I've dabbled a bit with it and it's very close to the cuff measurements.

It works by calibrating with their custom arm cuff device. I'd guess that it's correlating what the wrist sensor sees w.r.t. your wrist blood vessels and what the "true" reading is from your arm. You re-do the calibration every few weeks.

The device takes a reading every 20 or 30 minutes or so and seems to try to pick periods where you're more stationary.

However, one thing to be aware of is that you are not used to seeing your BP readings from the entire day. Did you jump in a cold plunge 10 minutes before it ran? Get ready to see a really high reading dot in the 'danger zone'. Went for a jog and are catching your breath on a park bench? High dot.

This isn't a bad thing, it just takes some getting used to since your "daily average" will be significantly above the readings you're used to if you're doing arm cuff measurements at the start/end of the day. Of course it's also getting readings at those more usual times too, but they get washed out in the larger number of data points from your day.

And goes without saying, your blood pressure SHOULD go up and down based on your activity and time of day. You just aren't used to seeing it other than at true rest.

But all in all it's been fascinating to see, and there's no doubt in my mind that this technology will be mainstream quickly (and Apple will likely dominate it).
AI #85: AI Wins the Nobel Prize
To be relevant usually speaks to some kind of broad social impact or defining of a culture. You might argue Green Day did that back in the day, but do they really continue to? A lot of people willing to pay to be entertained by their performance does not imply relevancy.
You do want to draw a strict line. When I say most programmers don’t get it… I’m talking about you. You don’t get why carmack is bullish about pure fp. You think it’s just map, reduce and filter and you don’t get why those functions are irrelevant.

To you you’re just fulfilling an ocd need to simplify your code and make it more pretty. There is deeper insight here that you missed and even when you read what carmack wrote about pure fp I doubt you’ll internalize the point.

Lisp is not pure. That’s why you don’t have the insight. For the true insight you need to learn about Haskell in a non trivial way. Not just youtube videos, but books that teach you the language from first principles. You need to understand the IO monad. And why it makes Haskell pure and how it forces you to organize your code in a completely different way. This is not an easy thing to understand.

The IO monad, when it appears, infects your code with the IO type and makes it extremely annoying to get rid of. I had a friend who learned Haskell and hated Haskell because of the IO monad. He stopped learning haskell to early and he never "got it".

If you reach this point you have to keep learning about Haskell until you understand why things are the way they are with haskell.

Just remember this: the annoyance of the IO monad is designed like that so that you write your logic in a way that doesn’t allow the monad to pollute most of your code.

Florida has more than double my state’s GDP. If we counted each state on the global scale then FL would be more than the Netherlands. And that’s ignoring the fact that 3rd world is an inaccurate misused term to begin with.
Ternary is the right word. Ternary numbers or logic have 0,1,2 or true, false, and something else. Ternary functions just have three arguments that could be binary logic, similar to a second order polynomial.

Ternary comes from the Latin root word ternarius (composed of three things) which contains the root word ter- or tern- which is an adverb variation of the original root terti- meaning 3rd. Same with binary, it comes from the adverb variation bi- or bin- meaning second. Bi- being derived from the original Greek dy- or di-. However, ternary is more correct than trinary because in the binary, we are not using the Latin root for the cardinal two, duo-. We use the adverb version of two, bi-. Trinary just sounds better to some people because tri- and bi- rhyme. For a numerical system composed of four components, we use quarternary which also uses the adverb form of 4, quarter(n)-, instead of the cardinal form, quadr(i)-.

Personal opinion, saying trinary makes you sound like you don't have any formal education.

American eggs are incredibly sensitive due to the chlorine washing they go through before making it to the store. Not oddly specific.

Here in Sweden (and I assume the rest of the EU) when I buy eggs they are not refrigerated and I keep them in the pantry at room temp for weeks or months without issues. The price I pay is that they sometimes come with a little bird poop on them from the store.
> Especially when their profit margins are often in the low single digits.

This is a little misleading, since a lot of their product on their shelve isn't paid for until 60/90/180/365 days after receiving it, and generally suppliers set aside money to help cover shrinkage. And they'll often agree to take back unsold goods.

There's a reason that so many of the largest companies in the USA are/were retailers. Borrowing something worth $100, then selling it for $103 may be low margin, but it scales incredibly well.

You don't like it? Go out of business and have companies that are able to operate at the price consumers are willing to pay rise up in your place.

> A new library release that ‘adds support for Python 3.14’ is very likely to include other changes in the same release that may or may not be trivial

There's no reason to believe that would be the case. The exceptions are:

- add support for Python 3.0 (that's of course a very different situation as I described before)

- eagerly adopt TONS of Python 3.14-only features (of course that means a different thing than "adds support for")

What a specific release claim to do is irrelevant. The library should run its test suite in CI against multiple Python versions.

in this specific case, updating to 3.14 just mean that the library stopped using bare excepts, which means that all version of Python pre-3.14 would still be able to use the library as usual (and thus, CI of those python versions can be retained).

If you're running a library with a version of Python against which it's not tested, of course you're in a precarious situation (and a bug that silently causes your code to behave differently is going to be a lot more tricky to deal with than a bit of syntax which is not supported anymore).

Hard disagree.

First of all. Not using escape key to escape is the standard for almost all applications since the 90s. Do you use escape to close the browser? A tab? your email client? No. All software converged on the idea that a close button was not a good idea, we are left with the actual button as a vestige.

Second of all, this software is designed for people in high stress situations where one of their main goals is to avoid detection, they will not only memorize the escape sequence, but they will likely have their finger on the shift key at all times.
