Ok, so I've heard the voice of community and added null support and dropped const enums. Also you can fetch all scalar fields with "fields" selector.
The last image Obsession (Shûnen) the article mentions is a Swastika which though technically correct is actually a Sauvastika. The Swastika associated with Nazi bends to the right. The most common Japanese reading for 卍 the symbol that bends to the left is Manji. The 卍 (manji) symbol is frequently used to indicate a temple on maps in Japan, although due to confusion that tourists frequently have regarding 卍 and 卐 this is slowly changing.

The ancient history of just 10-15 years ago shows Google aggressively marketing Chrome across all of its not inconsiderable properties like search and Youtube, and sabotaging other browsers while they were at it: https://archive.is/2019.04.15-165942/https://twitter.com/joh...
This is why choice is good in the market. What’s dangerous and distracting for you may be comfortable for me. Funny also that you mentioned connected devices as well. Recently a physical button died on my washer and I was able to still use it through home assistant integration while I waited for service.
> Thanks for saying this. This mindset has infiltrated all the engineering teams and made software development hell for those of us who actually like shipping. Being more careful, adding more checks and processes, has exponentially less returns (just invert the graph).

I'm going to strongly disagree with this (when it's done well, not bureaucratically).

We review what can be improved due to problems and we incorporate it into our basic understanding of everything we do, it's the gaining of experience and muscle memory to execute fast while also accounting for things proactively.

It's a long term process but the payoff is great. Reduced time+effort on problems after the fact ends up long term increasing amount of valuable work produced.

The key is to balance this process pragmatically.
> Forty years ago, Hollywood made gremlins loveable—portraying them as adorable, furry creatures.

Did the author even watch the movie?

The fluffy lovable creatures are mogwai, and they transform into the not-at-all furry or loveable gremlins if fed after midnight. They arent gremlins until they transform.

This inaccuracy invalidates the entire “Hollywood gremlin” discrepancy that is being made for much of the article.
> The wine of Burgundy was a network of agents, only conventionally sorted into the human-artificial and the non-human natural, but so too was the landscape of Burgundy, and so too was any countryside.

I like to think we humans are also part of nature, therefore our work, and our creations, cannot be so clearly separated from nature. In the same manner, the work of bees and ants can also be called artificial, in the sense that they practice a craft and manipulate the natural world around them. For me it's all on the same spectrum.
hence the "lost art"

For me I think the only way I could make it work would be to be self employed and work a shorter day. My job wants me online from 9am, and my wife keeps a “normal” schedule so starting an 8 hour work day at 11 would seriously cut into our time together in the evening.
Accidentally yesterday I watched 'Miss Hokusai' about a daughter of the artist - she was a painter herself. The (animated) movie can be seen as a series of episodes, with the relations between Katsushika Ōi and her father being one of the subjects presented. From a quick glance at the (English) Wikipedia page about Hokusai I could spot some divergences compared to the movie. Anyway, I enjoyed the move quite a bit.
Aren't all examples of where Chat is better just more simple Q&A type apps?

I've worked in EMR software for 10 years and I will tell you this - no doctor wants to ask the EMR for information, they want it to be smart enough to show exactly what they need at exactly the right time. For example, if I am viewing a patient on specialty medication X I want relevant labs, medical history, current med profile and any allergies. A doctor would be furious if they had to spend their time going "what allergies does this patient have?"

Not that EMRs are the pinnacle of good design, but this is the reason why there is so much information per page.

In my experience - if the user is searching for information, then typically your UI is not intuitive and or not making good use of the screen real estate.
It's been working reliably for me for a few weeks now, 1 or 2 messages a night.

To be clear - I am not sending myself long emails! I am sending one or two words, like "TEMP PROB" or "MULCH" to jog my memory in the morning. And for that, it has worked flawlessly.
Asking a question in front of a group, bur adding a "if you're comfortable", doesn't really make the problem go away. There's always a pressure to answer, even if you say that answering is optional. It's not a horrible violation but it's still kind of weird and unnecessary in a professional context.
Isn't the whole point of using bcrypt is that you can't bruteforce the password?
For context that came after trying this:

Since it started out as Rails in v1, the post is to beware abandoning a framework that's working for you.

Only if you're not gonna be competing internationally, like working for governments or state companies.
This was a fun read, but it left me a bit more sympathetic to the lisp perspective, which (if I've understood it) is that syntax, being not an especially important part of a language, is more of a hurdle than a help, and should be as simple and uniform as possible so we can focus on other things.

Which is sort of ironic because learning how to do structural editing on lisps has absolutely been more hurdle than help so far, but I'm sure it'll pay off eventually.

If you exclude its pre-Athlon Nvidia-like era, Intel's market cap earlier this year was only ~20% below its 2020ish peak.

It has engineers. It might yet surprise. Nvidia hasn't proven it can turn a ridiculous amount of capital into a matrix-multiplication moat.
Woops - an auto-correct error, I’m afraid
That was before the Tim Cook bean counter takeover.
Apple used to be generous with accessories and stuff before too.
Now they even remove stickers to save a few cents per device.

Apple still makes good hardware but the scrooge attitude is disgusting for such premium products.
Tokens per second ;) I can do the arithmetic on my own.
Honestly I think full disclosure with a courtesy heads-up to the project maintainers/company is the most ethical strategy for everyone involved. “I found a thing. I will disclose it on Monday. No hard feelings.” With ridiculous 45-90 day windows it’s the users that take on most all the risk, and in many ways that’s just as if not more unethical than some script kids catching wind before a patch is out. Every deployment of software is different and downstream consumers should be able to make an immediate call as to how to handle vulns that pop up.
Absolutely awful! I'm very glad I didn't wire it straight into the pi but put a connector in the middle so I can replace it. It works and is silent to actuate but as you say the ergonomics are bad. I have to reach for it and it rattles around on the bedside table a bit (I've thought of maybe wrapping it in a piece of felt).

Your idea sounds great - can you give me a suggestion (e.g. a M-C/Mouser/Digikey part#)?

> Much of his writing resists analysis while encouraging repetition and undeformed travel.

Sums it up pretty nicely. I have no clue what "undeformed travel" means, which is a nice reference to how his writing resists analysis. His writing does seem to encourage repetition in a lot of people who are not into logic or proper reasoning.

If you say a lot, keep things extremely vague, and change definitions as you go, you attract a lot of people who think, "Hey, this is exactly what I was pondering about," but you also oppose those who think, "Hey, you are not making any sense." I tried to find a middle ground because the subject matter Latour talked about seems very important to our society, but until now, I have consistently failed to like his way of philosophizing.
There are lots of amateur photographers out there that use Apple hardware yet so far Apple only monetizes storage. I wouldn't be surprised to see a subscription offering that includes pro tier features for Photos.app good enough to replace Lightroom for enthusiasts but not for actual professionals.

This also describes the actions of the US in many circumstances in its history.
I'm not sure I follow. The UI for ChatGPT is still on your browser, yes? So it is still HTML and CSS. The fact that it is generated content instead of static doesn't change the front-end tech that renders it on-screen.

If you are saying the UX paradigm will no longer be "pages", that I can believe. But the browser still is the most common way to access content, regardless of what generates that content.
I don’t understand: isn’t this stuff already dealt with, theoretically and practically, in statistics? Regression, propensity score, statistical analysis and similar stuffs? So what the MIT did, is just a computer program to score and estimate the cause-effect links or is there something fundamentally new?
Do you know of anything that can handle UNI-T cams, particularly something like UTi721M, which is a nice thermal cam that attaches to a smartphone via USB-C?
I used to think so but my current android has terrible heat management. Maybe bad battery or I may have doomscrolling for too long. The battery got bloated without me noticing it.
Love vLLM for how fast it is while also being easy to host.
That's for when they know how to read.

There are also e-readers that read along with the book, which are good for very young children who are just learning basic words.
> * and IBM still uses it today*

I remember reading about IBM's usage of eDRAM for cache when they first used it. Their analysis showed that for their server workloads the number one thing was to keep the cores busy and that a lot of slower eDRAM worked better than a smaller amount of faster DRAM.
It's interesting to consider the complaining about the PDF in this context. Using a paginated format and calling it book does quite a lot to state that it was created at a moment in time.

A resource, but also a particular end product, a piece of art.
Whatever happens on Tuesday, it’s going to be extremely close. The implication being that the US isn’t a lost cause, and failing to win is a signal that more people need to get involved in politics and pushing against the tide.

How do you expect improvement/positive change if the people who align with your values all flee? If everyone does, it only accelerates the problematic ideologies that are growing.

As harmful as the undesired outcome might be, things won’t turn into some dangerous authoritarian dictatorship overnight. The guardrails that exist need to be tended and cared for. Throwing up one’s hands and running away seems deeply problematic and arguably more harmful than the “wrong” election result itself if enough people choose the same path.
That should also mean that ca 50-52 character usernames are likely easily bruteforcable. Which makes the preconditions wider than those stated in the publication.
> I am always surprised at the white knights telling me I got no value from paying 30% of revenue.

Wether or not the 30% is proportional to the value you get by being on the App Store depends on your situation. That is why choice is a great thing.
Because Microsoft takes a least effort approach to porting for macOS.
Not that they should do otherwise in my opinion.
Office runs much better on Windows and has more functionality.
I had tough times with graphics under DOS. BorlandC C had a limited graphics library called Turtle. So I used DOS mode 13H for fancy 320x200 display with 256 colors.

Later, somebody gave me the source code for some graphics libraries together with some drivers and I could use 800x600 resolution with millions of colors.

After that I went to Windows and Linux and graphics APIs quit being an issue.
> And EV batteries turn out to be very recyclable.

Can someone explain what it is that makes batteries wear out to begin with, and what has to be added back to make them work again after they’re shredded into “black mass”?
100%

It’s unethical to users who are at risk to withhold critical information.

If McDonalds had an e-coli outbreak and a keen doctor picked up on it you wouldn't withhold that information from the public while McD developed a nice pr-strategy and quietly waited for the storm to pass, would you?

Why is security, which seriously is a public safety issue, any different?
Hence the "please consider" in front ;)

I got lucky with naming my app: "Video Hub App" and despite being generic-enough, organically around 50 people find my software every day. With a name like "Signal" I suspect almost no one will ever find this software unless they already knew of its existence and searched specifically with "Midi Editor" prepended to "Signal" :/

Also, you can now use the same quote character that encloses an f-string within the {} expressions. That could make them harder to tokenize, because it makes it harder to recognise the end of the string.
Have isolated web apps/web bundle gained any traction over the past few years? I just realized that this thing existed and there were some discussions around it -- I almost completely forgot this.

I did a search, and most stuff come from a few years ago.
I'm a native NYer too. And three was generally the rule of thumb AFAIK.

That said, as we both know, avenue blocks are of varying lengths. So depending on which avenue blocks we choose, we're probably both right and both wrong at the same time.
No wonder I cannot find an easy to use payment processor.
I don't think it's easy to write a good syntax coloring engine like the one in Vim.

Syntax coloring has to handle context: different rules for material nested in certain ways.

Vim's syntax higlighter lets you declare two kinds of items: matches and regions. Matches are simpler lexical rules, whereas regions have separate expressions for matching the start and end and middle. There are ways to exclude leading and trailing material from a region.

Matches and regions can declare that they are contained. In that case they are not active unless they occur in a containing region.

Contained matches declare which regions contain them.

Regions declare which other regions they contain.

That's the basic semantic architecture; there are bells and whistles in the system due to situations that arise.

I don't think even Justine could develop that in an interview, other than as an overnight take home.
I have found that, when I do succeed in forcing myself into bed at a normal time, I can “brute force” tiredness quicker by reading on my Kobo with low brightness. Honestly the part I struggle most with is actually just going to bed, there’s a strong psychological aspect to it.

As for your two points, they’re not super practical for me, at least not for a big chunk of the year. From now until about February it goes dark around 5pm, so that would effectively mean no lights, video games, movies/TV, or browsing on work days. And while weed will succeed in knocking me the hell out, it’s illegal for recreational use here, and very difficult to get a medical prescription, so it’s not something I have regular access to.
If you search for the address 400004Ch on https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm it leads to the mosaic control register. It does a primitive pixellation effect (no averaging or anything, it just holds the top left pixel of the region) on a background layer. The exact same effect is present in the SNES and DS and is often used for level transitions. I don't know enough Z80 to know how you use the API call though.
> Every C programmers (sic) knows you can't embed a multi-line comment in a multi-line comment.

And every Standard ML programmer might find this to be a surprising limitation. The following is a valid Standard ML program:

(* (* Nested (**) *) comment *)
val _ = print "hello, world\n"

Here is the output:

$ sml < hello.sml
Standard ML of New Jersey (64-bit) v110.99.5 [built: Thu Mar 14 17:56:03 2024]
- = hello, world

$ mlton hello.sml && ./hello
hello, world

Given how C was considered one of the "expressive" languages when it arrived, it's curious that nested comments were never part of the language.
> You'll notice its hash function only needs to consider a single character in in a string. That's what makes it perfect,

Is that a joke?

The comment character is also configurable:

git config core.commentchar <char>

This is helpful where you want to use use say, markdown to have tidily formatted commit messages make up your pull request body too.
Doesn't every modern gas fired device have a mechanism that doesn't let gas flow if there is no heat by the flame? Every Gas BBQ I know has that, is that not the case for stoves?
No data, no targeted ads. Simple as that. Whether some other dystopian company does it "better", does not matter. I asked them how they think Google's ad business works and you have not provided an answer to that question either, even though you state, that you work "the ads business". (At Google?)

No offense, but you stating, that you work in the ads business rather makes me doubt, that you are talking from an unbiased point of view and makes me suspect, that there are motives at play here.

Actually the statement, that Google doesn't make money from personal data is kind of ridiculous. If they didn't make any money from that in one way or another, they why would they waste so many resources on collecting that data in the first place? It is really obvious, that they do make money with that data. Their other products are failing left and right. It has become a meme, when Google kills yet another of their products.
I would say there's nothing wrong with it if it keeps you happy and healthy. For me, getting out of bed at 10:30am would feel like I'm leaving a lot on the table. I like to be productive with as many daylight hours as possible. It's personal preference. If I were retired and looking to relax a bit more, I might adopt a bit later schedule.
You got it all wrong.
It was developed for Macs first because Microsoft is in the business of selling software and Windows wasn't such a big thing back then, in fact it barely existed as Windows, it was mostly MS-DOS still.

Microsoft definitely didn't buy something they created themselves.

i think the idea isn't to sleep late and wake up early consistently. instead it's about waking up at the exact same time everyday, no matter how late you went to bed the previous night for reasons inside/outside your control. the expectation is that the next night you'll feel sleepy earlier and catch up.

in contrast, walking up late one day because you slept late the previous night will wreak havoc.

I'm only trying to clarify this because it works the same way for me.
I have never seen this in Java! Is there any use cases where it could be useful?
> That's how quoting works by default in m4 and TeX, both defined in the 70s.

Good point. And it was in m4[1] I saw that backtick+apostrophe syntax. I would have probably not thought of that possibility if I hadn’t seen it there.

[1] Probably on Wikipedia since I have never used it

> Unfortunately Unicode retconned the ASCII apostrophe character ' to be a vertical line, maybe out of a misguided deference to Microsoft Windows, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. (Unless we're using Computer Modern fonts or other fonts that predate this error, such as VGA font ROM dumps.)

I do think the vertical line looks subpar (and I don’t use it in prose). But most programmers don’t seem bothered by it. :|

> In the 70s and 80s, and into the current millennium on Unix, `x' did look like ‘x’, but now instead it looks like dogshit.

Emacs tries to render it like ‘x’ since it uses backtick+apostrophe for quotes. With some mixed results in my experience.

> Even if you are willing to require a custom font for readability, though, that doesn't solve the problem; you need some way to include an apostrophe in your quoted string!

Aha, I honestly didn’t even think that far. Seems a bit restrictive to not be able to use possessives and contractions in strings without escapes.

> As for end delimiters, C itself supports multicharacter literals, which are potentially useful for things like Macintosh type and creator codes, or FTP commands.

I should have made it clear that I was only considering C-likes and not C itself. A language from the C trigraph days can be excused. To a certain extent.
No.

For most of the listed orgs, it's a different business organisation (not-for-profit rather than shareholder-based), the organisations aren't intended to run an operating profit, and the content is available to far more than just those who pay directly for access.

Mind that in the case of ad-supported print media, the principle customers (the advertisers) weren't identical with the set of readers. But access was largely limited to those who subscribed directly, bought a newsstand copy, or could access a copy obtained by either method. In either case the operation was generally intended to run a profit.

There have also been free papers, either supported entirely by advertising (frequently "entertainment weeklies"), or published as propaganda organs for a given organisation, frequently religious or political.

In September last year, Google released an update called "Helpful Content Update" (HCU) that was supposed to demote made-for-Google spam websites. Usually, a blog with dozens of articles from cheap authors that are optimized to rank well in Google.

Unfortunately, many legitimate niche websites were demoted by this update. Google's Webmaster outreach team (primarily Danny Sullivan, also known as "SearchLiason") has been in contact with people running such legitimate websites.

This event was supposed to bring such people together with Product Managers and Engineers at Google.

Someone from the data science side at Google, who is probably very far removed from the actual ranking algorithm, said that there was no shadowbanning of domains. That is, of course, total crap and probably just the result of some misunderstanding of what banning, demoting, penalizing, etc., means to different people.

The people at Google who actually work on communicating to webmaster never said there was no shadowbanning.
Is any of that present in this game? It doesn’t seem like it. Why are you using a term to define your game if by your own admission you don’t understand what it means?
