Depending on where it is in the product lifecycle, I've seen this extreme pushback against fixing symptomless bugs.

I was working on a project where someone thought to turn on tools for catching malloc errors (use past the end of allocated buffer, use after free &c.). The team that did this found bugs in their own code, of course, but also many from other teams.

I was there in the room as people went item-by-item litigating whether or not each bug should be fixed. Things like "sure this is use-after-free, but it's used immediately after the free and because of the struct offset, it can't corrupt the heap linked-list, so we won't fix it"
A big bullet point for me is that I find it unethical to support most of the studios and media companies.
Any tips on where to find these tools, or just generally find out how that works?
I sometimes pay for things and then pirate them anyway because I can adjust the subtitle position on the pirated version. Or I can rely on being able to play them offline. Or a dozen other reasons where the pirated version offers a better UX.
I've started a project of saving some topics on social media across networks, specifically because people are out of touch about the contentious things other people see

I haven't added these kinds of topics to the list but if there's interest I'll start
It's worth noting that if 90% of Americans voted based on which policy they actually preferred, the remaining 10% of vulnerable voters would still have enough influence to make or break most elections. Platform only takes you so far, those last few voters have to be appealed to by prodding the amygdala into fearing the opponent more than they fear you.
I still can't support changing the electoral college. A few cities deciding the election for everyone feels horribly unfair, and undemocratic. Maybe the EC isn't perfect, but it certainly forces politicians to at least care what people in Iowa, Vermont, and Nevada have to say. It works because of the state system.
I thought you were nitpicking but looking at that sample code... "endc_function"... wow.
Yeah I tend to use ease of install for community editions of hosted paid open source projects as the leading indicator of how seriously they invest in (and support) their free/community version..
right, but in effect that's basically zero percent of the time on a street with parked cars. pulling into the front of a driveway is also not safe. And safe passing in WA is three feet.

From WSDOT:

> Pass at a safe distance. Leaving an extra safety buffer in time and space when passing people gives you more ability to see and react, and it’s also the law. Be aware that a bicyclist needs to be positioned in the lane a safe distance away from opening car doors, grates, and other hazards not visible to a driver. Drivers need to move into the other lane when possible or leave at least three feet while passing (RCW 46.61.110). Darkness and weather conditions may affect a driver’s ability to gauge distance.
Rogan pressed him on a number of topics and trump simply couldn't answer. He had no solutions, he had no ideas. He was empty-headed, and it really showed.

In general, things like medicine/drugs (even caffeine!) should be used as sparingly as possible, so they're maximally powerful when you do need them.

If you pop OTC meds at the first sign of anything, your body gets used to it and it becomes a baseline; whereas before it would blow all the symptoms away, now you need it just not to get significantly worse.

Surely there's some middle ground between only hosting your own data and being reliant on another site to keep track of your following / followers and hosting a duplicate copy of the entire network?
Exactly, it's always the sore losers who complain about this. There's are good reasons to keep the system as it is, regardless of who wins. But the discussion is always driven by losers.
FWIW they did go back and refine some of the puzzles after launch, so depending on when you played it might be smoother now.
Yours is a very good point of view actually. I initially hadn't thought about the tragedy of the commons situation where all the states agree to implement it and later one state decides to go back to winner take all system.

big-green-man wrote a good comment about that
> it would be actually easy to implement

If it is easy, why hasn't it been done. Do you think that no one considered this approach?
Can't comment on music production since I don't produce music (could be the need for realtime).

Discord runs fine both in-browser and in application. Raptor Lake seems to have zero issue with video voice chat, whereas Comet Lake can drag a bit in large rooms without a GPU. Qubes OS makes it dirt easy to multiprofile from all around the world.

I don't really game like others do; eye candy doesn't draw me in, but solving interesting puzzles/challenges does.

Copy & paste is superior in Qubes, skill issue sorry not-sorry. GIT GUD!
We already have CDNs so one site downloading a version of a library works for all. Maybe content-addressible dependencies could make that even better, for cross-CDN support?
That many people from his previous administration and own party coming out against his character issues? It's unprecedented. Mind boggling.

Plus January 6th and all his legal problems(plus convictions). That whole government documents circus.

And we have collectively looked past this and put him back in office? He won the GOP PRIMARY?! I know people aren't "feeling the economy vibes" but dang.
I'm just as annoyed with the hurdles to buying real pseudoephedrine as anyone else, but let's not make the production of bathtub meth any easier. It is not worth it.

I imagine it's similar to how viruses are not considered to be alive, since they cannot reproduce without a host cell?

But I have never been a fan of that argument either, both seem alive to me.
I am terrible at biology but I will try. The idea is that mitochondria is not a component of a living organism, but an organism that once lived independently of the cell.
"If we think of mitochondria as non-living organelles..."

mitochondria were thought to just be a component of the cell. But they have their own DNA separate from that in the cell's nucleus. They replicate on their own like bacteria.
This also came up in 2016 and never manifested into anything. Again after Roe's overturn - nothing. It will once again be nothing. Worse now for your "movement" however is Trump made significant gains with women. The effectiveness of such a movement lies in the majority. Even among leftist women I would bet good money less than 10% would follow such a thing. If anything this type of thing enshrines the very loud gender war being promoted by the media. People who aren't terminally online don't care as much as you think.

It follows the same pattern as people whining and crying saying they're going to seek asylum in Canada. While a fringe minority did it once again was just an eye-grabbing headline. This type of nonsense has happened, as far as I can remember, since Bush in 2004. Every time a Republican gets into power the tankies make wild, public, performances and then proceed to do absolutely nothing, ever.

So, in conclusion "you" won't do anything - at all. Life will go on like normal. Just like 2016, and just like 2020. Turn off the TV.

Is it feasible to run a bluesky instance "on prem" and "offline" for instance as an airgapped corporate intranet ?
His appeal is his rejection of the status-quo. I get it. I thought the exit polling suggested that the economy and immigration were the big factors. I just have a hard time accepting that we have to put a person in charge that likely doesn't respect the democratic process in order to (supposedly) represent those who haven't been heard before.

My intention isn't to assassinate his character, but he was at one point facing non trivial legal charges, right? The conversation is just ridiculous because we're at a point where we have to talk about the validity of our judicial process?
I think the idea here is that mitochondria developed independent of cells and later lived exclusively inside of them. In other words, they reproduced without cells. I am not sure, please correct me if I am wrong.
Everyone in the pharma and regulatory world has known this stuff is worthless for years. I feel like the pharma industry should be severely fined for knowingly perpetrating a fraud on the public. Sadly, they would likely be able to defend themselves on the grounds that the FDA allowed it.

I've read some of the reasons, but none sound good to me. What do you like about the electoral college?
I spent a lot of time in LabVIEW as well. I stopped with it way back when Active-X was thing and I got sick of always having to interface LabVIEW with Active-X controls.

LabVIEW is great for certain things, I think it has potential for others, but it's just too limited for general purpose computing.

Perhaps more important than anything is the fact that you can't just download it and use it like almost anything else these days. I don't think that has changed. It's not cheap either and they've switched to a subscription model.
It reminds me the game Parasite Eve.
The population decreased in South Korea because they did not have immigration. The population will continue to meet the needs of the demands for labor through immigration or birth in the United States because it needs to maintain the leadership of the Global Order. The vested interests from the Capitalists, to the Technocrats to those who continue to push the boundaries and seek human progress will NEVER LET this happen. People who are part of this 4B movement are entitled to continue do to so, but when there is a demand for humans immigration will fill in the gaps and we will continue towards human progress unencumbered.

Anecdotally, I feel like I've heard "powerhouse" used somewhat regularly when describing impressive people, i.e.: "Such-and-such is an absolute powerhouse on the field", or "That person is so productive, they're a powerhouse".

So maybe the original usage has been subsumed by "power plant", but I think the word has alternative meanings which persist.
We should steer clear of modifying DNA directly until our understanding of biology is much much better.

South Korea's population has been declining since the 60s. 4B hasn't made a single dent in it.
Something I've noticed over the past 8 years is that there is never a shortage of think pieces like this published by liberals or leftists trying to humanize Trump supporters, to investigate and understand their point of view, etc.

Maybe it's a result of my own personal media bubble, but I've never, ever seen anything remotely similar in the other direction.
> I dislike clap too, it requires too much work to configure it in a sensible way (sensible being defined as working like most unix utilities have worked for the entire time I've used them), it comes with very "modern" defaults which while I appreciate are aiming to improve the situation, when I'm writing an utility in rust, it's usually a port of something I wrote in another language and I don't want to deviate unnecessarily. There's also the aspect of just how many dependencies it pulls in.

Which deviations are you concerned about?

> It's a bit of a shame there isn't a zero dependency direct clone of python's argparse. Or something like that even in the standard library. argparse is relatively easy to use, not necessarily designed to be low overhead or fast (god help you if you're in a situation where option parsing is your bottleneck, but I can also appreciate the desire for not wasting cycles where there's no reason to waste them).

As a maintainer of a CLI parser, I think there is too much policy to put in the standard library. If you go for something much simpler, like lexopt, I think its more doable but then again, I'm finding I'm writing y own lexopt-like library because it has too much policy in it.

If changing the laws of the universe is fine, then nothing gets excluded even Harry Potter. It’s one of those definitions that allows anything and ultimately only feels fine because you’re adding some other criteria.

In defense of hard science fiction, it’s a meaningful category to talk about even if it’s not something you personally care about. People often want to weaken it but that just opens a door for a new category say “scientific science fiction” and we are back to square one.

Asking questions like what does AGI look like when they can’t just magically solve all issues can be fun. Hand waving the singularly as some religious event can also make interesting stories but so is considering how chaos theory limits what computation can actually achieve.

My favorite piece of training equipment by far. I've spent 6-month training blocks with nothing but my gymnastics rings, a 24kg kettlebell and a 32kg kettlebell. At this point I honestly only ever go back to barbell training because I don't like pursuing any single modality for too long, but I firmly believe that if I had to I could live the rest of my life with just rings and a couple of kettlebells (and a pair of running shoes) and I would be perfectly content.
> I said it's more harmless than other medication dependencies, like getting hooked on pain medication or benzos.

I've never taken any opiod, but two weeks of being unable to breathe properly or sleep sounds as hellish as my idea of quitting heroin.

I mean, I quit smoking, hardest thing I've ever done, and the physical withdrawal effects were insignificant compared to that.

It's funny; looking back, I quit smoking exactly BECAUSE I was suffering from crazy congestion, and after a week of Afrin and poor sleep I thought quitting smoking altogether would help me regain my sanity.
> People don't know how to lose.

Completely agree. So much "stop the steal", fake electors" and storm the capitol nonsense.
> there is a reason why the vaudevillians were all poor immigrants

Same reason so many pro athletes now are poor immigrants.
I can’t speak to Go, but I encounter this attitude in other languages where I have more experience. In one particular case, TypeScript, I have quite a bit of experience “shoehorning” FP to very good results.

I find the attitude tiresome. Sure, in an abstract sense, there’s “more” to FP than these common abstractions. But there’s also less: FP is ultimately about acting on values. The “functional” part is an acknowledgment that a “function”, in its mathematical sense, is the common abstraction which achieves that. Map/filter/reduce are no more fundamental to that than any of the typical academic concepts often found in ML-family languages. Nor, as a detractor on Twitter suggested to me recently, are persistent data structures essential. Values are the essential concept, and all else that FP offers are in service of that concept.

You can apply the same principles in nearly any language. You may need to build up your own implementation of some common abstractions to benefit from them. You may find certain patterns inherently awkward due to language semantics, or sometimes just syntax. Ultimately it’s still rewarding, from the perspective that one will be using said non-FP-paradigm language anyway. Because working with values is its own reward. And it’s incredibly rewarding, even if limited.

I don’t think it does anyone any good to gatekeep that on the basis that the compromise… is a compromise. Sure, it’s worth pointing out that there are limited benefits. But none, in my experience, so limited that they negate the benefit entirely.

The vast majority of the Brooklyn gig scene have service industry jobs, film sound jobs, or they play a lot of 3-4 hour event gigs (wedding bands but plus all events) on top of their own music projects.

Ugh.... similar to BitGrid[1] (my own hobby horse), but not. I imagine bits marching in parallel across a grid in the ultimate simplification of an FPGA. It's an idea that either has supreme utility (Petaflops for the masses), or doesn't... it's all down to how much energy a DFF takes on an ASIC. (This is a pair of numbers I've been trying to find forever... static power, and energy to load a bit)

Oh... and the programming model, nobody likes plopping logic down on a grid, they try to abstract it away as fast as possible. I don't have sufficient focus to be able to do that bit.

[edit] Somewhere in exploring this, I came across Von Neumann cellular automaton[2] and Nobili cellular automata[3], which I've not encountered, despite being interested similar ideas for decades. It's frustrating just how little discoverability there is in this portion of computer science.

Of course both share the same insane foundation:

The set of FSAs define a cell space of infinite size. All FSAs are identical in terms of state-transition function, or rule-set.

It's that one "simplification" that relegates them to the domain of code golf.
