If I make you go through the DMCA counternotice process for buying apples from me, that's not a problem with DMCA, it's me having an absurd process around purchasing apples. I don't see how people weirdly requiring this process shows an issue with DMCA.

Except, I don't think wood would be any better as you still have to worry about how it was sourced and made to make sure nothing was added to it, right? I see a lot of people using bamboo for example. The only really safe alternative is stainless if you want to avoid thinking about it again.

Laws can also be unconstitutional and remain a law--the law just can't be enforced. For example, in the state of Texas sodomy is still technically illegal, just the law is unenforceable. But if the Supreme Court overrules previous court decisions and says anti-sodomy laws are constitutional, the Texas law immediately becomes enforceable again.

The law is super complicated.
Metal. I haven't noticed scratches, and have been using exclusively my whole adult life. I suspect my pans are covered in superficial scratches, but I don't notice.
I will start by agreeing that usage of "war" seems weired. Although scientific drama in fundamental physics is not uncommon but a word like "debate" would be more appropriate.

I don't like your usage of word "Inshallah" as a mock up of the idea that something will never happen. Because it is a complete opposite meaning of when you suppose to use it. It is usually overused by arab moms (I know that people tends to mean that) but I use it frequently. Ironically I was in online meeting at CERN today and used inshallah (sometimes I use it because I am used to) to refer to potential interesting signal I am seeing. I used it to describe the hope that this will not turn out to be a statistical flactuation.

Also I would agree that this is messy at the time when Einstein published his work on quantization. He even got Nobel prize on his work on photon quantization not relativity. Of course he was not alone, Max plank was the first to suggest energy discritization.
It's not about cleaning. It's about the increased amount of oil needed to prevent delicate foods like eggs and fish from sticking. That adds cost and calories.
Yes, but as monkeys->inf then P(Shakespeare generated) -> 1 almost certainly (also in math sense).

The result depends on the relative rates that things go to infinity, just like lim (x,y)->(inf, inf) of x/y completely depends on the path (x,y) takes to (inf, inf)

> Even something as commonplace as chewing more carelessly will result in finding seeds in your faeces.

Most people’s diets do not consist of fully intact seeds, or at very least it is not a large proportion of their calories. And any processing of said seeds would give you all the calories in them. This is a trivial example to discard, since most people do not have undigested food bits consistently in their stool (unless you constantly eat corn, then maybe).

To be clear, I never said exercise is not capable of burning calories. It clearly does, however the impact is pretty muted compared to the relatively easy task of adjusting one’s intake. For people that have to do enormous physical activity or just walk a ton, they are going to burn quite a bit more calories. But your natural expenditure individually doesn’t vary that much unless you wildly change your behavior around exercise.

Not surprising that this would be on a list of questions at least one model got wrong, since I think the real answer is "there isn't one anymore, but from 1879 to 1999 the answer would have been Radcliffe College".

Wood utensils are often coated to improve their stability (just like the inside of cans is coated in plastic, so joke’s on you if you choose cans for that reason).

Have you considered the safety profile of the ink used for any markings, the stain on the wood, and any oil or wax coatings?
It feels to me like you are comparing/applying hard science knowledge and techniques to psychologic knowledge and techniques, which is fine.

However my personal experience is that it mostly doesn't work out like that. Real human interactions with others and with things is so complex that it can't reliably be modeled that way. In reality it is more a combination of gut feeling and rational overthought and afterthought, in a never ending feedback loop.
Hiring manager here. The best way to negotiate is to have multiple offers. Hiring is not fun on our side either. Hundreds of candidates with mostly-identical resumes apply for every open posting. Evaluating resumes and interviewing is a huge time suck. Unless we're at the absolute top of the pay band for the role I'd rather give an extra $10K to someone than go back to the pool, but only under two conditions. One, the applicant has to be rated very highly by the interview panel, not just "I'd be OK with hiring this person." Second, I have to believe that there is a reasonable chance the applicant will actually walk away if I don't raise their offer.

Not only can you save insane amounts of money, you gain a confidence in the result that you cannot get any other way. You know what's in them walls, it's no big deal to go back into them when you need to.

Often further savings are available by using salvage materiel, as you have the time and involvement necessary to separate the scrap from what can be used. You can't really skip this step with "new" anymore, anyway.
Looking at the fastest solution, the convertIntoNumber() function is where the magic happens.

Specifically, line 318.

The line above (long digits ... ) converts from ASCII digits ('0'-'9') to actual numeric digits (range 0-9)

Line 318 does the shift into position and addition to combine the 1-3 digits via one multiplication, left-shift and mask operation.

Nonstick pans are covered with plastic; that’s what PTFE is.

The answer is wood and metal tools with stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, glass, stoneware, and enameled cast iron cookware and bakeware. Aluminum bakeware is also great once you put a layer of seasoning on it to protect the aluminum from corrosion.
Oxo claims they use Eastman Tritan Renew recycled plastics [1] which are FDA and EFSA certified for food use[2].

That said, I’ve personally been to multiple cookware factories in China and Taiwan and saw bags of Dow thermoplastic resins next to various cheaper-by-half China brands. The reason name brands go with Dow is the consistency in Pantone color matching colored parts. For black, it would be trivial for the contract manufacturer to cost-down to (toxic) China brands without the client (Oxo) ever knowing. It would also be trivial to spot check these products on a mass spectrometer for heavy metal contamination but I never saw that done.

If this kind of thing is important to you, I wouldn’t stop at just using Oxo but Oxo made in Asia. And if that’s your threshold you may as well use silicone.

I have worse stories about non-stick pan factories.

I might have implied the wrong thing. I wasn't implying Mitchell should change his use of NixOS. I was relating to the desire for 'best of macOS and best of Linux'. If I was using NixOS I would do that from an Orbstack machine Linux cli, with Zed as my editor, rather than virtualisaing a full X GUI. Everyone will have their own choices of course.

> I think the whole thing is dumb, but at the very least there should be some form of punishment for bogus DMCA claims, and purposefully labyrinthine DMCA processes.

This isn't a copyright claim, so DMCA doesn't apply, but the DMCA rewards labyrinthine DMCA processes by granting the provider immunity. Following notice / counter-notice timelines in the law means the host is not liable to either of the other parties for the takedown or the restoration.

Might be nice if there was a faster process to restoration if the customer vows to indemnify the host though.
I haven't found this to be true at all. In fact, I'd say the majority of studies I read - even from prestigious journals - is fraught with bad statistics. I have no idea how some of these studies were even allowed to be published. Some fields are worse than others, but it's still a huge problem pretty much across the board.

People conduct science, and a lot of those people don't understand statistics that well. This quote from nearly 100 years ago still rings true in my experience:

"To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of."

- Ronald Fisher (1938)
And that's perfectly fine. Such people will get less favorable terms.

Patrick's guide explicitly talks about how a lot of people don't want to negotiate. His argument is that if doing something distasteful for a short period of time will get you a significant salary boost, you should try to do it anyway.

Ultimately, if it's distressing to someone to be assertive and negotiate, my first reaction isnt "That's fine! Let's all work together to make things nice and easy for them!" My reaction is "It's sad that it's so distressing, but one way or another they need this important life skill. Let's help them acquire it, even if it's difficult."

> It's worth mentioning that when game developers scope of the features of their game, available tech informs the feature-set. Faster languages thus enable a wider feature-set.

This is true, but developer productivity also informs the feature set.

A game could support all possible features if written carefully in bare metal C. But it would take two decades to finish and the company would go out of business.

Game developers are always navigating the complex boundary around "How quickly can I ship the features I want with acceptable performance?"

Given that hardware is getting faster and human brains are not, I expect that over time higher level languages become a better fit for games. I think C# (and other statically typed GC languages) are a good balance right now between good enough runtime performance and better developer velocity than C++.
F# provides escape hatches to OOP since it is closely tied to C#.

Just barely or just barely not making ends meet doesn't have great long term health outcomes either.

When you add up all the things we're "supposed" to be doing for one reason or another it's a pretty large cumulative burden.
Indeed, it gives ideas and food for thought. No psychological advice or life hacks can be simply or rigorously be followed as is.
Yes, this provides good intuition about why it is useful: the PDF of the sum of two random variables is the convolution of the original PDFs. A convolution is awkward to work with, but by the convolution theorem it is a multiplication in the Fourier domain. This immediately suggests that the Fourier transform of a PDF would be a useful thing to work with.

If you don't say that this is what you are doing then it all seems quite mysterious.
That is every negotiation I’ve ever seen, frankly. What else would you expect?

Because it would ruin the whole point.

Satire aims to evoke an emotional response, to point out moral failures and inconsistencies as crassly as possible.

They they are not allowed to use the data... which seems weird given Chrome and DOJ details. But I've never seen any details of them using it, and every statement is they don't use it.
The issue at the time was having a WinForms application to run also on macOS, and IIRC at the time WinForms wasn't supported outside of Windows. Maybe Mono on Windows is still different from Mono on macOS. Anyway, the situation seem to be much better now. I'm not going to invest time into C# at the moment, since I'm in the Java ecosystem and Im currently taking some time to practice with Kotlin. But it's good to know that now C# is an option as well.
This 1000 times.

I have been learning F# for a while now, and while the functional side that is pushed heavily is a joy to use, anything that touches the 'outside world' is going to have way more resources for C# as far as libraries, official documentation, general information including tutorials etc. You will need to understand and work with those.

So you really do need to understand C# syntax and semantics. Additionally there are a few concepts that seem the same in each language but have different implementations and are not compatible (async vs tasks, records) so there is additional stuff to know about when mentally translating between C# and F#.

I really want to love F# but keep banging my head against the wall. Elixir while not being typed yet and not being as general purpose at least allows me to be productive with it's outstanding documentation, abundance of tutorials and books on both the core language and domain specific applications. It is also very easy to mentally translate erlang to elixir and vice versa in the very few occasions needed.
That definitely does not sound like much fun to deal with.

> You might ask: how do you know whether or not software has been fuzzed?

zbar has great barcode reading performance! I've seen far newer software that's nowhere near as good in terms of real-world performance.

But it seems the original developer hasn't updated it since 2009 [1] - and fuzz testing only rose to prominence in ~2012 with the rise of tools like afl-fuzz.

I would be absolutely astonished if it had ever been fuzzed.

> Cut out any unnecessary features to limit attack vectors. ZBar by default scans all code types, which means that an attacker can trigger a bug in any of the scanners. If you only need to scan QR codes for instance, then ZBar can be configured to do so in the code

Absolutely sensible, yes.

Not just for security, but also because packages sometimes have extra barcodes. If you're scanning an EAN-13 on a pack of pasta, decoding a QR code for a pasta recipe website is just going to confuse things :)

Are you saying friends and family using Google are an obstacle to you using something else? Or maybe if you use something else, that makes you so uncool that your friends and family are not more likely to follow you, but actually less? I guess what you're actually getting at is that my switching doesn't automatically make my friends and family switch, but why insist that change only happen in blocks of people all at once? How does that help?

It can be, yes.

You're basically trading off worse throughput for better latency.

If you forcibly run the GC every frame, it's going to burn cycles repeatedly analyzing the same still-alive objects over and over again. So the overall performance will suffer.

But it means that you don't have a big pile of garbage accumulating across many frames that will eventually cause a large pause when the GC runs and has to visit all of it.

For interactive software like games, it is often the right idea to sacrifice maximum overall efficiency for more predictable stable latency.
Med student working on sophisticated RAG system... What kind of beast are you? Thanks for sharing anyway, I'll keep tab on it.
If you type without looking, you're touch typing. Maybe you're not a strict home row user, but that has little to do with touch typing outside of formal learning. It took typing on a split ergo keyboard for me to figure out I was using "weird" fingers to press certain keys. I don't use the home row either. My resting position is Shift-A-(W/S)-D for my left hand (muscle memory from FPS games I'm sure) and M-K-L-/ for my right hand. I tend to only use my pinkies for modifier keys and my index fingers work overtime stretching to cover the middle of the keyboard. I still manage to type ~100wpm without trying too hard.
Tech overhired for many years, in part because higher head count leads to higher stock market valuation (at least in the eyes of gullible investors).

Meanwhile, more than a decade of this hiring extravaganza had passed already, and tech largely doesn't have much to show for it - mostly a graveyard of failed and cancelled projects and products. Perhaps the charade is no longer bought by investors, and they don't see tech stocks as super high growth any more, so companies can stop pretending to innovate via bullshit projects that mostly go nowhere, and cut a significant portion of the staff.
Presumably you’re not using Teflon pans then, because there’s no way you wouldn’t notice the non-stick surface getting destroyed by metal utensils.

There’s also a potential health argument against cooking with Teflon pans to begin with, but people do and those people shouldn’t be using metal if they want their pans to stay non-stick for any reasonable length of time.
People can & will walk away for reasons other than competing offer. It also depends on how badly they want to get a new job. I both have and have seen others interview on the basis of "sure, why not" and if the pot isn't sweet enough then whatever.

That said, people in this position should cite how sweet that pot needs to be upfront instead of after the fact. But that doesn't always happen.
We already know LLMs are more than just words, there are literally papers demonstrating the world models they build. One of the problems is that LLMs build those world models from impoverished sensory apparatus (the digital word token), so the relations they build between the concepts behind words are weaker than humans who build deeper multimodal relations over a lifetime. Multimodal LLMs have been shown to significantly outperform classic LLMs of comparable size, and that's still a weak dataset compared to human training.
Carbon steel solves this issue. You can get nonstick eggs and fish with a very minimal amount of oil. You can also do this with stainless steel but it takes more practice to get the temperature control down.

Maybe one day we’ll all have affordable temperature controlled induction ranges similar to the Breville/Sage control freak. If you have the ability to preheat your pan to an exact temperature then getting nonstick results with tiny amounts of oil or butter becomes rather trivial.

> One thing I'm not aware of is if Pyrex or the other tempered glasses are safe or if they also contain plastic.

They're glass. They don't contain this. In particular, oven-safe glass is supposed to be of the borosilicate variety... but about 20 years ago manufacturing was moved to China (haha!). They're not properly formulated or tempered anymore, and in many cases not oven safe. They tend to shatter with large temperature changes, spilling hot casseroles over people who aren't in the habit of having steaming hot casserole showers and then complain about those.

> Just use metal wood or glass.

I like those materials, but think of the damage you're doing to the CPI with your advice. How would we combat inflation if we weren't able to constantly substitute in cheaper packaging materials and so forth?
> English overuses it the same amount

Not even close! I only have experience in the Gulf but they use "allah" words all the time!

"Alhamdulillah" (thank god) is pretty much part of the standard greeting (Pretty much just two people rapid firing a list of phrases at each other simultaneously "peace be with you / and also peace with you / how are you / thank god / how's the family / thank god") and a frequent response to almost any question.

Anything dealing with the future or uncertainty will bring in "Inshallah" (God willing). I remember the first time I asked my cab driver to take me to my destination and he said "Inshallah" that did not give me confidence!

Then there's "bismallah" and "mashallah" which I heard a bunch. And I'm not sure if we can count "yallah, yallah" which is like "hurry, hurry, let's go" which you hear all the time and is derived from "Ya Allah".

I would be willing to bet that Gulf Arabic speakers say "Allah" literally at least 10x if not 100x more than Americans say "God".
