There are some. There was recently an antisemitic riot in Amsterdam. Police ended it quickly however. There are also some organized protests (including protests against tourism in Barcelona, but I wouldn't call these "riots"). I think their prevalence is about the same as in the US.
Mastodon the software isn't. Mastodon the community is because they want to control who is and isn't allowed to federate.

I don't know why you think that. Some cities (Venice for example) are already implementing controls to limit demand. Turn the political heat up and it can happen anywhere.
The analog computer is a quantum system (of atoms for example), and your argument rests in that the complexity of simulating a system of atoms is not high and that nature (i.e. the "analog computer") isn't performing something better from a complexity standpoint.

While I agree that there are pretty efficient algorithms to simulate systems of atoms behaving like Newtonian bodies (like molecular dynamics) it quickly falls apart when you need to include more "quantum like" effects.

The digital quantum computer is itself built out of atoms, so if you could simulate an analog computer (which derives its properties from QM) efficiently, you could then also simulate the digital quantum computer efficiently.

I guess it's a question of semantics - like what properties of nature are an "analog computer" allowed to tap. My point is, I think, that you kind of downplay the capabilities of what an analog computer is capable of by saying it's "just" an analog computer. But any small molecule whizzing around is in some sense a very difficult to simulate analog computer from another point of view.

“Better to die than to look bad” is one of the more toxic sayings associated with military aviation.
Yes, but decades of experience have shown that pilots are far braver and willing to risk their skin in a simulator than they are in the air. And for good reason.
I don’t have a problem != no one has a problem

That's not accurate at all. Evolution does care if something is useful, if it aids in reproduction. Learning how to fight, protect, run, hunt, tricks, all of these (such as ambushes, hiding, etc) helps both prey and predator survive in the wild.

Play hones reflexes. Its entire purpose is to train young animals on tactics, and on how to use their body, and on their local environment.

Put another way, if you aren't trained to use your body, you're more likely to die. The same goes with not learning tactics. Or what the local environment is like.

If you don't know what a tree is, if you don't know what a hole in the ground is, what a hill is, how well grass hides you or not, you are at a major disadvantage, if you're hunting, OR if you're hunted!

There can be other mechanisms to learn things, but play is one of them, and having children teach each other, lets the adult protect, and gather food to feed. It also ensures that youth is trained up on the current environment, not one that the parent recalls from youth.
Yeah even Open AI said o1-preview was not going to be a replacement for 4o.

That's not just an architect. It's an architect, a construction worker, a bricklayer, a plumber. That person might not do everything but needs to be able to dive deep as low as required.
The prime rule, which supersedes all others, is to not have shit go wrong. That's more important than following any of the other rules; if you follow all the other rules, the rules which you think are important because they're written down, but miss on the prime rule, then your ass is in trouble. Even if it doesn't end your career, it will still hurt it.

When things really matter the foremost objective is never "follow the rules so your ass is covered", it's to not have a situation where that ass covering is relevant in the first place. Outcomes matter more than preforming according to the book.
> Remember -- the lazy, bad at your job, etc. assumptions are attributes you are putting on the characters in the ads. At no point in the world of the ad are these indicated by any of the other participants.

This argument is completely dishonest, despite your sanctimonious tone. The premise of the ads is that the person intentionally misleads others by hiding the fact they're using Apple Intelligence. Apple is celebrating a culture where you lie to family and coworkers over trivial things, which is why these ads are so contemptible.

If the office worker in the commercial had said "I didn't read that paper, let me ask Apple Intelligence" then I'm guessing his coworkers would correctly think he was lazy and bad at his job, and would probably take a closer look at his work if they knew an AI was doing it. Instead he lied and his coworkers bought it, allowing him to corrupt his company with AI slop. These ads are just totally indefensible.
Not bowing down to propaganda terms du jour is probably very bad for his business...

Should one use the result type for handling errors or exceptions or both? What's the rule in F#?

When should you prefer immutability over mutability since both are possible in F# and it probably has a measurable impact on performance?

When should you use objects instead of records or unions in F#?

Since mutability is possible, any reason to not allow an explicit return or continue? It makes certain code patterns much less nested and easier to read.

When you're time-poor, everything looks like a waste of time. I've been there, full time job with overtime and young kids, barely minutes a day of free time and trying to decide between coding, reading, exercise, TV, and seeing other people with 30+ hours to spend each week, throwing it away on the "dumbest" things like bottle trick shots or counting to a million on YouTube.

Things are better now. I still have less time than young people on YouTube but I'm not so stretched. I have hours a week to spend on things - sometimes with the kids.

I hope you get free of it, the crushing feeling is not nice.
The new "Apple Music (Preview)" app on Windows (exclusively 11 IIRC) absolutely destroys anything they had in the past. And anything they have on macOS right now. It is absolutely stellar, and yet another example of the weird "let's make out apps on opposing systems better than our native ones" trend.

I wish I could just share the spotify link to a WPA app using the Web Share API and have it share back the url for my preffered music streaming app.

I guess I can ask claude to do it for me and use the code here for the UI, but I can't find the license file

> the report said its standby flight display and backup communication system “remained basically functional.”

Just to be clear, the pilot had the backup instruments available and functional, and the plane could be substantially controlled (i.e. could be pointed in the pilot's desired direction).

People are using feelings rather than facts to judge this pilot. So they do it differently then they would for example a police or SWAT team member shooting the wrong person under pressure. The same actions would have been judged very differently if chance hadn't kept that plane from crashing into a populated area.
I still remember foldly my first sound card, roughly around '93. It was a LPT connected chip that did 22kHz (I believe mono) audio to 3.5mm. Was directly supported by ModEdit. I remember downloading the schematics as an ASCII file. Went to a local electronics shop and bought all the listed items. and handed it over to my cousin who was good with electronics at the time. He soldered the thing together, without a case... And I used it for about 2 years, without it ever breaking. Those were the days!
I don't see how this relatively minor issue subtracts from the overall credibility of the article. In fact, the way it is presented in the article with footnotes adds to credibility, in my opinion.
Water also can solve mazes. That doesn't mean it's conscious any more than slime molds are.
You are coming from a rational position with the focus on optimization. Large organizations are not rational, and rarely optimal.

Executive backlogs are so deep that purposefully re-fitting whole team to another job will never end up on the top list. You might see sometimes organization will rehire a whole new team with exact same skillset, and set them to do similar tasks. It happens because execs know how to setup things from scratch quickly, but running a re-fit is a custom project that requires problem solving and large amount of exec drive, and exec resources are extremely scarce and expensive.

From the outside this will seem totally irrational and suboptimal, not to mention unfair. But that's how large orgs operate.
The absolute most annoying thing a company can do, is contact me after I abandon a cart about the items in that cart. If it’s a text message you will never get a single cent from me again.
While those cases do certainly exist, this was not the case here, he had time to troubleshoot and determine if his backup instruments were working or not.

No, he's talking about the compositor which has several gaming related features which then runs the Big Picture version of Steam for UI to select and manage games.
It's dishonest to use an ellipsis to change the meaning of a text. The full quote is:

"nothing herein contained shall apply to contracts of employment of seamen, railroad employees, or any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce."

That exception does not apply to all workers. In Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams (2001), the SC found that it only applies to transportation workers.

optics. If the CEO is reporting bugs they find or those bug numbers appear "concerning," the apparent lack of quality calls for corrective action.

Obviously things were not the healthiest there. The CEO should be similarly interested in other projects and their quality. Your manager should be aware of the relative quality and your award and tell his manager that "it has been / will be dealt with" and then to either never file the pip or speed run you through it (while letting you in on why: optics). And then the manager should be working towards producing better reporting metrics that executives can use that expose quality issues at large
That would be hilarious if it were the case.

Twitter was trying to boost engagement before Musk bought it, and several of the changes they have made since then supercharged it.

Bluesky isn't yet aggressively working to boost engagement. There's the discover tab, and feeds, but those are more opt in types of things. Blocks also work differently, perhaps increasing the echo chamber effect, but also tamping down on squabbling.
I've only been laid off once, and it was from one of the top 10 multinational companies in the world. Head office in New York decreed a headcount reduction. I was positively not highly paid and did above average work. I had an excellent relationship with both my direct manager and the country managing director. But my manager's manager disliked me for being outspoken and pushing back on bad decisions. So he made the effort to hit me with a heavy handed legal document and a generous severance payment.

Contrary to common opinion, I think that politics trumps concerns about performance or pay levels.

Just because traces are widespread doesn't mean they'll last for 60 million years.

I guess the article is focusing on gaming and regular multimedia usage.

The pro-audio story of the PC is also a fascinating one with some legendary names like Ensoniq, Terratec, Yamaha, Guillemot, Creamware, E-MU, Korg... but all that stuff is relatively new compared to the days of bleeps and bloops.
PATH is a good example why steam does this: Steam is a program to launch a wide variety of other programs, which it doesn't fully control. Those programs (games) may do anything including launching further programs (utilities), so steam may set PATH so that the game finds those utilities.

It can also be a way to pass license information or other configuration settings.

Yes, I am familiar with git rebase. I can virtually assure you that everyone here evangelizing jj is aware of it too. Most of us were git power users. Steve Klabnik certainly was. I was too.

Actually using git rebase is a pain in the ass when things don't go according to plan. Long chains of rebase conflicts suck. Making a mistake during a rebase sucks. Stashing sucks when you forget what branch the changes were on. Stashing also sucks when you have stash apply conflicts.

None of this is ever a problem in jj due to the fundamental design.

And you get some additional superpowers too. Today I was working on a feature that needs to be merged and deployed one piece at a time. There are (right now) four separate pieces, each comprising multiple commits. In jj it's just one linear chain of commits on top of `main` with four branch names assigned to the relevant interim commits. Each of those branches has an associated PR. When I need to make a change to something in one of the commits early in the chain, I just do it. If I need to make a new commit somewhere else in the middle, I just do it. It takes zero effort, and all later commits are automatically kept up to date with changes earlier in the tree. When I push, all the PRs are updated. When I end up merging the first of those four stages, there is zero work necessary to fix up the later three branches.

Try doing that with git.
Yes, there are a million first-party and third-party bandaids you can use on top of git to try and approximate a sensible workflow. I was a heavy user of `git-revise`.

All of these workarounds just… don't exist in jj, nor do they need to.

I do work in physics research so I open on average 20-30 arxiv and research papers per any session. This is combined with the usual searches for SO and docs (looking at you CUDA docs) which would be a lot of tabs for any gives session.

I used Firefox developer edition (it was better performance that vanilla Firefox for my m1 mac and this is just a feeling not backed up with any data) and now is using zen browser. It is a huge upgrade, now I have workspaces, split tabs and vertical tabs. All while still using Firefox and ublock origin.

I think this made tabs management good experience but ths most important factor is that I trained myself to really hate having tabs that I don't know which means that once I get past 10 tabs that browser starts to hide some information I got annoyed and then go close some.

But I really feel like zen browser is everything I want in a browser so far. I tried arc which is close but it is chromium based and it is resource monster and also closed source and required account to use.

One other useful thing is that once I got used to use my selfhosted linkding to actually bookmark things I want to explore, this helped with the tendency to use open tabs as things to read later.
Dont' forget the movie...
A lot of that criticism ended up being quite muted after the plane ended up being wildly successful after being put into service. It also ended up being much cheaper than the competition for many of allies that bought it as well.

Not to say that there weren't many issues with the program, but it seems like a lot of those requirements panned out.
