>I've written about this here some time ago - you don't pay for the soap dispenser or trash bin itself, you pay for the paperwork showing that it is safe to install this trash bin

What really makes me livid is that the same people who are in here now screeching about Boeing's misdeeds with no thought given to mitigating facts would instantly grasp the concept of paying for a paper trail and happily use it as justification to crucify some puddle jumping airline operator in Alaska who sourced unapproved stuff.

Feeling entitled to engage in cognitive dissonance like that when it benefits you plays a key role of so many problems in society these days, including shoddy work and overpriced soap dispensers at Boeing

That said, I still think $600 is absurd. The .mil probably already has a soap dispenser thats sufficient that Boeing could have made a mount for.
Tiring because the answer wasn't revealed? That was the whole point :) It's the path, not the summit.
CPA=Certified Public Accountant, the individual or company often hired by a small business to prepare their taxes.
Anecdotally, a pro-audio software company I worked with had to fire 1/3 of the company when their copy-protection was cracked and sales tanked immediately afterwards, and recovered once a new copy-protection scheme was developed and applied. And just to be clear, software licenses in direct-to-user sales are not that company's only revenue stream (they sell hardware and software to OEMs).

This is to say, the evidence in this natural experiment points towards piracy reducing sales by a lot.
If find it hilarious that 'conservatives' made up this '15min city conspiracy' when traditional actual conservative cities, before the 60s were exactly those kind of 15min cities.

But somehow the bullshit built in the 60s is 'the true national expression' or whatever.
I used to love pv, but I had ZFS send and recv hang many times when I was using pv in the pipeline and I was never sure why but after I stopped using pv in the pipeline and started using the verbose flag of the ZFS command on the receive side instead which provides enough output for me to see that it’s progressing and haven’t had those kinds of problems since.

Searching now it seems indeed that up until recently this was a problem other people have been having too. For example the recent forum thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/zfs-send-hanging.94994/ where they were discussing which version this was fixed in and someone saying that the latest available version to them from the packages was still a bit too old.

Assuming the bank’s websites look totally different from one another, you’d need open ended exploration to data extraction. We’ve focused more on reliability for repetitive tasks over flexibility for open ended tasks historically, but models are getting good enough that this tradeoff is diminishing.

I took an online electronics tech course 15 years ago and what got me was my math skills were atrocious. Not shocking since like learning a new language or music use it or lose it is the obvious answer to why I sucked. I spent half my time re-learning math just so I could complete the course.
Liability shields aren’t about knowingly committing illegal activity. They don’t protect against that. You can’t just form a company and hire people to rob banks or whatever.

Companies are to shield people from unknowingly or accidentally causing damage or committing a crime, and losing more than the capital already invested. Think situations like ‘I hired a driver, and he got drunk when I wasn’t looking and accidentally ran someone over’.

Without a liability shield, every investor or manager/owner of that company could lose everything, even if there was no way they could have known or prevented the problem - except by literally not having done business at all.
Your comment is pretty myopic considering the fact that Ukraine is in a state of martial emergency and is actively being invaded by a merciless and lawless regime.

She is on a wartime footing, with her very existence as a country once again in jeopardy at the hands of a much more powerful, longtime aggressor.

Realigning political positions in a way that keeps them firmly aligned with the martial interests of the state is expected and required. For better or for worse, Ukraines civil government is, for now, primarily a military organization as the country and its people are fighting for their lives.

This is the one specific case where it is reasonable, just, and needed to require loyalty, focus, and vigor within an otherwise democratic system. There is a reason why martial law grants the president extraordinary powers. If Ukraine survives, she will have to sort out the return to normal democratic rule, but for now the government is at war.

I wondered about exactly this.

The study is actually a published letter [1], and it doesn't appear to account for this. Science Direct even published a study about this in 2017 [2]:

> Weight loss, achieved through a calorie-reduced diet, decreases both fat and fat-free (or lean body) mass. In persons with normal weight, the contribution of fat-free mass loss often exceeds 35% of total weight loss, and weight regain promotes relatively more fat gain.

We already know how to reduce the effect of this, the person simply needs to increase exercise as the weight is lost in order to maintain lean muscle mass.

>"Months later, Schrödinger — inspired by Louis de Broglie’s idea that matter behaves like a wave — proposed an entirely different, but mathematically equivalent, formulation of particle behavior based on the better-known mathematics of waves."

[...]

More surprising results unfurled when Dirac extended his equation to describe an electron interacting with an electromagnetic field. Experimentalists had confirmed that the electron’s intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, was equal to 1/2, but theoreticians couldn’t figure out how to properly incorporate it into their theories. With his new equation, Dirac had found, almost as an afterthought, that the spin emerged naturally.

[...]

The Dirac equation was simple and elegant, yet dense with implications. Perhaps its most profound feature was that,

instead of producing two components for negative and positive spin states, it produced four: a negative and positive spin state for each of two particles with positive and negative energy states."

Basically every other interest on earth is going to see this as the west exploiting space then pulling the ladder up after them. It's the same reason why hoping developing countries will stop using coal is ridiculous. We need to foot the bill to clean up after ourselves or people will just ignore us and do what they see they need to do regardless.
> Does `$this->country =` use the setter even if it's in a hook (but not a `country` hook)?

To me it is obvious hooks won't use other hooks because that could lead to an infinite loop in a hurry

> Does reading `$this->countryCode` use the getter hook, even it's from a `countryCode` hook?

same

> If not, is there a way to call the `countryCode` getter from this setter?

There is although it's a bit tricky and not intuitive but I feel this falls under the "it is enough this is possible, there's no need for it to be easy": "Be aware, the detection logic works on $this->[propertyName] directly at compile time, not on dynamic forms of it like $prop = 'beep'; $this->$prop. That will not trigger a backing value." Using dynamic properties in what should be simple code should be rare enough this is not a problem. It's like a bridge convention, the benefits vastly outweigh the drawbacks.
Quoting my cofounder from another thread:

For 2FA, different users take different approaches. Everything from teaching Autotab to pull auth codes from their email, to setting intervention requests at the top of their skills, to enterprise integrations that we support with SSO and dedicated machine accounts.

Autotab also has the ability to securely sync session data from your local app to cloud instances. This usually removes the need for doing 2FA again for sites with “remember this device” functionality.

We can enable captcha solving for select customers, but don’t allow that in the public app to prevent abuse.

Here in town, there is a place where cyclists cross the oncoming lane to enter a bike pathway. The cyclists go downhill and thus have quite some speed. For the cyclists, they are catching a gap between cars. No big deal. From the perspective of a car driver, you have oncoming traffic in the same lane. Bonus point if the cyclist didn't signal their left-turn. I'm sure this location alone is producing a dozen of cyclist haters every day. I think the cyclists lack awareness that cars are bulky and heavy and thus require some free area ahead of them for breaking.

Property hooks are the headline feature, but they seem like something I'd rarely use in practice. It is nice to have the option available though, in case I need to add extra logic to a property without breaking everywhere that it's accessed.
We're talking about megaconstellations for communications, you want lower for latency, stronger signal (denser/less distance for beamforming) for better data through put -> less satellites for more coverage, and costs is cheaper since less energy. Realistically starlink has combination of 340km-1200km satellites working together, but the critical point is SpaceX reserved a lot of the sub 500km orbit slots with ITU (UN agency who manages orbits), so PRC competitors have no space real estate to try to throw up another mega constellation that can mimic spaceX economics due to location, location, location. Hence PRC registering Thousand Sails at 800km, Guowang at 500km-1200km orbits, etc, which according to OP is exponentially bad for Kessler (I have no idea). So either ITU opens much more 400km slots, or all the megaconstellations going forward going to satuate >500km LEO. Part of the reason PRC rushed to announce their megaconstellations before they even had reusable was to reserve the next closest available orbit slots that they can.

MIL-SPEC is a very broad category. It just means it conforms to a military specification, which can be very simple and easy to meet in some cases. But when the MIL-SEC refers to safety-critical and flight-critical specifications it's a whole other story, and does become an extremely costly and difficult to meet set of standards for good reason.

Compare the cost of a MIL-SPEC ThinkPad with that of an actual flight control computer designed to be an integral part of an aircraft's avionics.

You are raising a curious and engaged child who is interested in exploring what it would have been like to be aboard Chistopher Columbus's vessel in pursuit of reaching India. Your child loves reading, and also appears to like video games and showed a lot of interest in the old MUDs of your own childhood.

A new tool shows up allowing your child to combine these passions and learn more about history in the process! Leveraging LLMs, it allows for an interactive environment based on written records of the time, and as a software engineer you are well suited to run, configure, and extend the tool to your will.

If you're interested in the details, you might want to have a look at papers [1] or [2].

You can add existentials in this framework, which basically means that the lifting problems mentioned above don't need to have unique solutions. But as you say, then the "minimal" databases aren't determined uniquely up to isomorphism anymore. So the result of Datalog evaluation now depends on the order in which you apply rules.

If I recall correctly, then [3] discusses a logic corresponding to accessible categories (Datalog + equality corresponds to locally presentable categories) which includes the the theory of fields. The theory of fields involves the negation 0 != 1, so perhaps that might give you a nicer way to incorporate negations without stratification.

> so per Hyrum's Law it's probably relied upon by some.

Yikes. this kind of defensive posture with respect to Hyrum's law is extreme and absurd. Per Hyrum's Law everything is potentially relied upon by someone, keeping stuff that may be relied upon means you cannot change anything (see this infamous xkcd on this[1])!

Thinking that no change is acceptable at all isn't the right take-away from Hyrum's Law: instead you should be ready to have to roll back changes that break people's workflow even when you didn't expected the change to break anything (and it also means that you need to have a way for your users to communicate their issues to you, which definitely isn't something Google is well-known for …).

While the article that follows is well written, the original title feels very vague and clickbaity for me. Like "you won't guess what's wrong with this !!!".

Emergencies are emergencies.

Maintenance is largely required to be scheduled, so utilities cannot wait until things break, they'll be required to perform maintenance/replace at pre-established frequencies. So we might not know when in 2030 the road gets torn up, but we do know it will be, since maintenance is required that year on infra X,Y,Z. Scheduling of the precise dates is then done according to the window.

yeehhh thats a very good question - we've been asking ourselves the same thing.

We've got one product in the market, but launching that product and talking to customers has given us insight into a potentially larger, more lucrative problem to solve.

So we're currently allowing idea #1 to tick over, while validating idea #2.

We plan to only focus on one of the two ideas going forward, but are first trying to do enough discovery on idea #2, so that we can choose the best one to take forward.
> This example shows that the access.log file is being read at the speed of 37.4MB/s but gzip is writing data at only 1.74MB/s. We can immediately calculate the compression rate. It's 37.4/1.74 = 21x!

No you cannot:

1. Compression algorithms buffer a lot and will have have tendencies to perform large burst writes and in particular large writes on final flush. Instantaneous measurements will therefore not be particularly useful.

2. Compression ratio refers to the average across an entire file, as entropy is not uniform across the input unless you are compressing just noise or just zeros. Some sections might compress extremely well while others do not and end up consuming more space than the input due to overhead.
To reply to a now deleted comment about weight loss:

You will still lose "muscle", and some of that will be in the fat embedded into the muscle.

I would recommend checking out some of the learnings from the keto diet. You may or may not subscribe to it, but they had to very carefully tread these lines when the body was essentially in starvation mode. A few things I know of:

1. You have to maintain a certain amount of protein intake (~10% to ~20%) to prevent your body burning lean muscle mass.

2. Too much protein gets converted into sugars, these in turn are easily stored as fats.

3. Maintain exercise, use it or lose it.

4. Don't over-exercise. "Exercise flu" results in limited performance and muscle loss through gluconeogenesis. You break down muscle and convert it to energy due to lack of carbohydrates.
Here's an idea: what if the US military just had in-house manufacturing capability and could build soap dispensers (or anything else) to specification at basically the cost of the materials? The factory, the staff, and everything else would be a built-in sunk cost, because they're already in operation.

The analogy here would be hiring a software consulting firm to make every little one-line-of-code change to your website, instead of just having a full-time in-house developer who could make small one-time changes and maintenance at no additional cost.
