Enough is obviously good, there's plenty of stuff where you need antibiotics to heal. Enough can be bad if abused, since some doctors overprescribe antibiotics for cases where it's not warranted, e.g. a cold. Most colds are viral in any case, so all you're doing is weakening the patient even more. Aside from that there may be severe side-effects, so it's best only to use antibiotics if you know you have a bacterial issue that can be solved with them.

None is preferable to partial treatments, since a partial treatment will create resistant strains and not much else.
It's important to recognize how seldom this carries out in practice.

I've rewritten some ~10 small node servers to Go, Java and C#, and they've always been >10X faster without changing algorithms.

Even in the few cases where dynamic languages catch up, they're often written in an unidiomatic style (read: optimized) and compete with unoptimized/naive C/C++.
This is very exciting. I was part of the Euclid collaboration roughly ten years ago as a grad student. Finally we can see the fruits of the labor of the many scientists involved.

The drop from 500 to 320 also meant that towing a decent load dropped from like 180 to 80. It became useless for anything but around town towing.

I’ve heard so little about this since the announcement I’m really worried it’s going to be killed or pushed out 4 years with the rest of the industry walking back their EV promises.
Is it even safe to use browser-integrated password managers? I think they're so much easier to use than external solutions such as KeepassXC, but if it's so easy to decrypt their databases...

It'd be funny to hack the range extender's protocol so you could install a diesel electric generator instead of a battery pack.
I'm still a little sad Vimperator – the precursor to all of these – does not work in modern browsers because it was so good but Tridactyl is certainly as close as one is allowed to get with WebExtensions.
The range extender is a bit of an odd product considering both the range added (limited) and the form factor (taking up a lot of space in the back).

While the range drop is disappointing, it's still plenty of range. More than enough for normal drivers that aren't anxiety ridden about range. Most people only drive about 12000 miles per year. And rarely over 300 in a single day. And when you do go on a long trip: relax, have a break (you'll need it) and charge up the car and yourself. It's not healthy to be on the road non stop regularly. You can charge the car up plenty over a nice lunch break. If you need a second stop after nine hours of driving or so, you need a break as well. And no, you aren't super human.

The product itself seems popular. Tesla now is starting to dominate the truck market. And they only barely started ramping up production. It's going to be interesting to see how they'll do when they reach their production volume targets. It's of course a divisive product with its styling and features. But it's arguably performing well in sales. Despite the currently high price.
Use fail2ban if you use popular online web apps like Wordpress, cpanel, Drupal, etc.

It won't protect you from a direct attack, and it's no substitute for good system security, but it can quickly block attackers who "scan" your system to see what's running, to see what they can attack. It won't stop a determined attacker who will be able to attack from many locations, but that doesn't make it useless.

You can also use it actively to block people who do things like hammering a password form.
We do the opposite - whitelist apps and blast the rest. This helps because they keep adding apps left and right with each version.
At this point you could also use C# for vastly better user experience, that builds on top of compiler that is actually GC-aware and does not have a performance penalty, aside from being just weaker than GCC (although that is improving with each release);

I understand your point and in someway do agree that it is marketing and it is a way of differentiating themselves.

But inly to justify a higher price tag? Yes it is true they are premium products, but I don't think it's true that they're that much more expensive than similar items occupying the same marketing niche from other manufacturers.

And they are far more than an order of magnitude cheaper than even a low end set of hearing aids.

But all of that is despite the point.

Samsung, Sony, Bose,… The list goes on. I have bought high-end headphones from them all, some with some without noise cancellation. In ear, over the ear, wired and Bluetooth... the list goes on.

NOBODY has a headphone that accommodates my hearing loss except Apple.

And they started doing it years ago as a feature buried in the accessibility settings.

But they kept improving it to the point where it is now FDA approved.

"A plus point in a differentiation matrix…?"

This is the kind of action that buys customer loyalty for life. I hope you never get to experience the depth of hearing loss that many of us have and how utterly transformative this kind of technology not just can be, but IS.

Overpromise and underdeliver. But this strategy still has its merit because it often is important in a competetive market just to be "first" somehow and capture a certain notion in people's mind. Just like Tesla in general now personifies electric cars because it was first (which it wasn't, but it certainly kicked off the mainstream EV market in the West). With the Cybertruck reveal, the point was to present something radical. The design, the numbers! Whether Tesla can actually deliver that by the time the truck comes to the market is almost secondary. Sure, some people are going to be pissed off, but in other people's minds, forever there will be this memory engrained of this amazingly radical thing this amazingly different company, Tesla, did back in 2019.

Btw, can you believe it's been 5 years since the Cybertruck was first unvealed?
Tech is not necessary. You just have to make the subjects interesting to learn. Good teachers are way more value than they are valued, and will make the classes interesting to learn.

> Tesla has missed on pricing with new vehicle programs before,

> But when it comes to specs, Tesla has generally delivered on its promises.

That's an easy cop-out. If in good-faith, it just means that Tesla knows how to build the spec but has no idea what it means to scale it. In bad-faith, it's a calculated unfettered media-hype.

I would expect a company which reached the stage of presenting a product to have at least a prototype as well as some grasp on its BOM and how this product could be mass-produced. If the company also announces a price, I expect it to have done its homework before involving the public.

Letting this expectation continuously slide to allow yet-another media-spectacle of "Tesla announcing a sub-30.000 <whatever>" is quite a weakness in critical journalism (and thinking).

The Romance languages use that name (or something very closely related). English uses "Sun", but just as it borrows a ton of stuff from Latin/French/etc., it also borrows "Sol" for its word "solar".

Also, Captain Archer in Enterprise used the name Sol when making contact with aliens.

In Europe in 2024, it is totally unreasonable to expect every visitor to speak the local language at a high enough level. Yes, your language is big and important, but we can't all learn all of English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Polish, which are the 5 biggest - alongside our native language.

The absolute arrogance of particularly French and German speakers is staggering. All of us from smaller countries and language spheres speak at least 2-3 languages, often more at a basic level, but they scoff at anyone who visits that didn't happen to learn theirs. Contrast this with Spanish and Italian speakers, where my experience is that they are often not great at English, but very much willing to try. To add, I've also never met an American who wasn't willing to do their best to help out.

When somebody is asking for help in a language you don't understand, your obligation as a human being is to do your best, if nothing else to help them find someone who does understand one of the likely several languages you have in common. Not everyone who speaks English at you thinks less of you because you aren't good at it, and everybody is just doing their best.
Don't get me wrong, I do get and appreciate the "complete package" and "customize everything" approaches followed by Emacs, but Emacs is often not the best tool for the job, if you work in a team. You've mentioned Jupyter notebooks and project management. Yes, Org and interactive modes are excellent, well-polished, full of goodies. The problem is that features like these require other people to either do the same as you do or to be able to integrate via an API/protocol. Having lots of people being fond of Emacs is a bit of a stretch, while integration features rely a lot on the community, which, as I've already said, isn't that wide, so plugins aren't always well maintained, unless you do it yourself, of course... And as a editor with LSP (a built-in) Neovim is simply put extremely responsive, I'd say it's closer to Unix philosophy of having a single thing doing its job really well.
“But once you’ve sent anything to anyone you never know what they’re doing with it anyway.”

True, but this is the beauty of trust. I decide to communicate one way or another with someone depending on the level of trust. Them deciding to break that trust is a risk I chose to take. However, I do not choose to communicate with Microsoft, whatsoever. Windows Recall is the most blatant piece of spyware ever; beyond comprehension how this is so normalized.
1.05-1.7x is where C# places vs C. Except you also have an actual type system, rich set of tools to diagnose performance and memory issues and ability to mix and match memory management styles. It is rudimentary when compared to borrow checking and deterministic drop in Rust, but in the year of 2024 almost every language with low-level capabilities is an upgrade over C if it can be used in a particular environment.

> That's the point is that it's up to the shell to make sure that you don't use your work if you do the wrong thing.

And how do you envision this would work inside a non-interactive Bash script? A shell option or environment variable that removes the confirmation step? With alternative syntax this would indeed work, because then it’s explicit.

> this one command says "I'm going to make your pipeline terminate, this step will be un-pipeable."

I answered that and reiterated it. The outcome can be judged (and it is) when you do it professionally.

Who is in charge of these HTML changes? This is horrible. It’s bad enough that for the last three decades we’ve have to use the `selected` attribute, now we are going to have a `button` in `select` with a `selectedoption` tag?

Please, just No!

The CSS for the style of the element belongs with the `select` tag. And all that should be needed to demark the selected option is a matching `value` attribute.

I get the sense that the people currently working on HTML and CSS are front-end designers and not programmers. We need functional design, polymorphism and simplicity, not just more kitchen sinks.
I never found a way to lock the password manager in Firefox with its own password. They probably aren't bad, but they are also way behind on features and general usability, as compared to standalone password managers.

If you have passwords that are used outside the browser, putting them into the browsers password manager, getting them out feels a little cumbersome.

Related to the tool: Why not just click the export button in Firefox?

Coat rack story: I once bought a cheap wood coat rack at the drugstore for $5 or so and brought it into the office to place at our "pod" of desks as only a few coatracks had existed in that office.

Later that office was being closed down to move into a smaller building and all or most of the office furniture besides the desks (cubes would imply actual walls) was priced to be sold to anyone who wanted it. I found my coatrack moved to that sale area and marked $20. (I just stole it back.)
I don't argue that it's impossible for the examiner to screw you on the commas — that's always a possibility with an open-ended question. And yet this doesn't make all open-ended questions bad, it just makes then inappropriate for a situation with an adversarial interviewer (which I do agree include the voting process).

However I argue that the question by itself is fine: it is well defined and has only one reasonable answer. No one presented any other sensible answer so far.

This is terrible. I was so happy CoffeeScript died a quiet death. Now someone thinks of this.

Keep it simple. Code should be easy to read. Also, ain't nobody got time to learn yet another obscure abstraction that will add only a marginal productivity gain at best (and probably sacrifice readability + add another build step + add another learning curve to new devs in the process).
Good luck drawing a line around anything except a point at infinity.
See even here there's no reason to be this doomery.

Yes, climate change is a massive problem, and humanity is ignoring it to our own peril.

But peril here means the unnecessary deaths and displacement of hundreds of millions of people - a civilization-defining tragedy no doubt, but ultimately nothing so serious as to cause our extinction.

We have the technology and knowledge to adapt, change course, finally get of fossil fuels, and enter into a new age of sustainable renewable energy.

We're gonna do it too late, and whole ecosystems, species, and far too many humans are all going to perish. Sea life may become extinct.

But at no point is our survival as a SPECIES in question.
If you speak Portuguese or Spanish, yes.
I'll say this, I preordered both a Rivian and a Cybertruck when they announced and I purchased the Rivian because it was available roughly 2 years before the Cybertruck even started deliveries.

I've had some small teething problems with the truck but it has been the best vehicle I've ever driven. It works perfectly as a regular daily driver but I can load my SCUBA gear and tanks into the back, and go off-road, get a bunch of dives in, and be back to my truck that I've outfitted with fresh water for a shower, a fridge in the frunk for snacks and drinks, and a gear tunnel with dry and warm clothes.

Now that I can charge on the Supercharger network, the truck has just gotten even better since I no longer have to plan out my charging as carefully. The Rivian is built like a tank, it's handled everything I've thrown at it in stride, and the Rivian software folks have been making progress month after month.

I'm so glad that I bought a Rivian but really, I'm even more glad that I didn't buy a Cybertruck given the absolutely disastrous launch that its had. Just off the top of my head, I've heard of wheels falling off, trim falling off, tonneau cover nonfunctional and non removable, 20% less range than marketed, accelerator pedal falling off and sticking, PRNDL falling off, seats that creak and wiggle, poor offroading capabilities, red screen of death, FSD driving the truck into the wrong lanes, and I'm sure there are many other issues that I've not even heard about.

As a long time Tesla owner (I was an early adopter of the first gen Model S), I expected the overpromise and underdelivery of their products, but I'm pretty sure I'm never going back to Tesla if Rivian and other auto companies deliver better value and quality EVs.
White Paper: DTLS 'ClientHello' Race Conditions in WebRTC Implementations [pdf]
We've discovered a critical vulnerability affecting several WebRTC implementations, including RTPEngine, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, and Skype (PSTN). Our research reveals that these systems fail to properly verify the origin of DTLS "ClientHello" messages, potentially leading to denial of service attacks. This isn't a specification bug, but a common implementation oversight.
Learning depends on the environment and whether it is pursued in an auto-didactic sense (Even for a job, say) or whether you are learning for an exam/part of a cohort.

It's not wrong to say Curriculum does not matter. But the level of curriculum is also something that needs to adjust to your current level and related fields you have knowledge within, to prevent you becoming overwhelmed.

Most people stop learning being motivation dries up as Test Anxiety rises to the point where they are at a "low-performance" place in the eustress curve. A few days there and people pause until it becomes urgent. A lot of this is a lack of momentum, but also not dedicating or having access to judgements of learning about your own progress.

In other words, if you judge your learning at all, it helps you manage.

There is a natural tradeoff between the flow-state of "just one flashcard with one information principle at a time, endlessly" and the longer term state influencing your time in flow-state of "am I progressing, what don't I know, how do I feel about my learning and mistakes?"

Think about learning databases, or CSS. When did you really takeoff?
Probably A) Practically copying others examples (existing queries ran in PhpMyAdmin, or codepen code)
And then later B) Once you overcame a big mistake and saw progress - suddenly what "Display" did clicked for you, and you saw how useful it could be to use the "fixed" option, it unlocked your understanding of the items in A and confirmed or disconfirmed your understanding of how it works.

Again it all depends. Self-motivated learning, even for a job, is easier to work with than compulsory learning. Because there, you don't even have the motivation to gaze up to the horizon and gather any excitement or understanding for what the learning might later lead to. It doesn't feel like a path, it feels like a brick wall. In this regard, a list of subjects is somewhat skin to someone stacking bricks, rather than elucidating a path. Overwhelming anxiety while learning is a real thing. The context really matters as to whether this approach is always the wisest.
> Hmm, I might be desensitivised from too much programming in erlang. It's implied that your program will encounter bugs or strange data and parts WILL be restarted, better account for that and plan on what to do on restart of each small part at the start of writing your program.

That's different from having software that can get into an unknown broken state, where physically power cycling it is the only fix.

It's better to crash and ensure there's a process that automatically restarts. Or use a watchdog process. Just breaking, to the point companies build external systems to reboot them, is just bad.
