Yeah, it's much better for farming to be moved to countries with less labour and environmental regulations.
In other news, yet another website fails at understanding that a hard redirect prior to a 404--instead of just issuing a 404 in the first place--is an idiotic practice that breaks browser history.

Fair enough. The world needs a package manager that is language agnostics and provides input to OS package managers as well as build tools (which should also be language agnostic).

Yeah, a ‘module’ based system of various language is so much less efficient that it seems absurd to compare them for anything that actually requires that performance.
On Zen 3, I am able to use nearly the full 51.2GB/sec from a single CPU core. I have not tried using two as I got so close to 51.2GB/sec that I had assumed that going higher was not possible. Off the top of my head, I got 49-50GB/sec, but I last measured a couple years ago.

By the way, if the cores were able to load things at full speed, they would be able to use 640GB/sec each. That is 2 AVX-512 loads per cycle at 5GHz. Of course, they never are able to do this due to memory bottlenecks. Maybe Intel’s Xeon Max series with HBM can, but I would not be surprised to see an unadvertised internal bottleneck there too. That said, it is so expensive and rare that few people will ever run code on one.
> Also standing up straight may be inherently unnatural, monkeys don't usually do it, and it might actually be the cause of lower back pain for all anyone knows.

My understanding is that this is well established fact. We are literally the ape that stood up. The resulting curved spine is fine for running around chasing water buffalo with the bros but poor for the kind of chronic load bearing and heavy use required to build and maintain civilization. People who subject their backs to chronic hard use generally wear them out at relatively young ages (middle age or so).
Allowing (encouraging even) the paying down of technical debt is the real solution. Build the prototypes fast and broken, if they catch on then fix them. This was the way things were once done, and how most of the billions were originally made.
You're literally telling other people to stop doing stuff that you don't want them doing, specifically the act of telling others what to do.

You're allowed to do that, and we're allowed to point out that this doesn't work in practice and that the failure in practice is itself why we're not surprised or even upset about the hypocrisy.
Al dente is three seconds.
I would be very curious how exactly this is being said and if it is just simply stating an "opinion" or if it is being used as a way to attack people and purposefully start a fight.

If it is the later 2, than them being "eager" is a good thing since that just feeds to toxicity and is a major reason that people have been pushing to move away from Twitter in the first place.

Even the first one I can understand since I really struggle to figure out why you would feel the need to repeat this if it was not an attempt to stir up an argument.

> I would be very reluctant to store anything important there.

Regardless of the reason, you should always be reluctant to store anything important on a platform you don't own. Focusing on this particular topic as the reason however is really just trying to start an argument that does not need to happen.

As someone who's considered himself lonely for most of his life, I can very much relate with the idea of feeling like an outcast, like an alien, someone who doesn't really fit in or understand what others find interest in. I think, in my case at least, it was probably related to being told over and over as I kid that I was doing everything wrong, that I wasn't acting manly enough, etc. Being told I didn't fit in led me to believe it. After a long journey of rebuilding my self-worth, I'm a lot less lonely this days, but I still feel it pulling at me, especially when I'm in a situation where I feel like an outsider.
There are such a thing as tariffs. I think it makes sense that we both improve our local environment and adopt a carrot/stick approach to businesses in other localities that do/don't do the same. Same environmental standards with independent audit should grant (eco) tariff-free access. Likewise, wasteful environmentally destructive exporter = heavy tariff.
Keyboards are also extremely error-prone. I can't count the times where I mistyped because of that. After each keystroke, people should type a "confirm" character in order to make sure of what they're doing.

On the contrary, we have all sorts of escalation management appeasers trying to avoid putting any possible blame on Russia for this, despite constant EW and GPS jamming in the region.
Ye I had a revelation about something totally unrelated, when reading about one KPI hack, that the Reddit load new page upon clicking expand comment, also most likely is one.

What would be a good reason for that, that is not KPI hacking? The extra text is bogger all bandwidth wise.
He is wrong about that with the current technology. All you have to do to see that is look at Israel vs. Iran. In a decade drone technology might be enough to do something similar to what the F35 does, but right now the F35 is still the peek of technology. There's a reason Israel ordered more of them.

AI might be able to do a dogfight which is great in terms of flight envelope, but completely unnecessary in modern stealth warfare. Despite everything you heard, stealth does work. It isn't perfect but it destroyed Russia's top of the line anti-aircraft missiles in Iran without a problem. The planes are ghosts, by the time you see them it's already too late.

Drones have the advantage of reduced risk to the pilot but since a human sitting at the base will have to deal with signal delay, transmission jamming and low resolution... The difference in having a pilot physically present is huge. AI is unpredictable and unreliable e.g. Iranians were able to fool a US army drone by sending it signals that made it land. Then they took it apart and reverse engineered it.

Then where is the problem? If the support can read Polish they will pronounce your name properly, if they're from India they will mess it up, why should we have different expectations? Nobody will identify you by name anyway, they will ask how to call you (chatbots do this already) and then use for proper identification all kind of ids and pins and whatnot. So we are talking here about a complexity that nobody actually needs, not even you. So let the name be saved and displayed in the nice native way, and you as programmer make sure you don't go Bobby Tables with the strings.
> It's visible in the visible spectrum and hearable in the human hearing range

Sure. It's just that radar lets you see tens or hundreds of miles away, and visual doesn't. And sound lets you hear where something is only at the speed of sound, which is less useful for something that can fly faster than the speed of sound.

So developing a weapons-quality track from visual and sound data is problematic. That means that, while not invisible, it's "invisible enough".
At a time when the EV market is struggling it seems like awful timing, without even commenting about the impact on the heritage
You’re mistaken. They purposefully didn’t evacuate villages so the doctors could study the health effects on unknowing citizens. The radioactive dust traveled for miles and miles. Semey, a medium sized town near the test site had skyrocketing cancer rates and birth defects. The number of people affected is measured in the hundreds of thousands.

Spritely is doing some interesting research and I appreciate the focus on fundamentals rather than shipping features immediately.

What always stands out to me with any project attempting decentralized social media, though, is how complex it becomes compared to RSS feeds.

The one requirement of content being push based rather than pull based has so many downstream effects, and its often goes overlooked or unspoken.
> I don’t feel like “throw everyone in the same big box” is the solution

It has to be - while nobody needs more than a subset of that big box, the intersection of what everyone needs turns out to be throw everyone in the same big box. If you have anything less than that one big box you end up many standards and then everyone chooses which standard and in turn something important you need choose the other standard and you can't use it (ie the situation we are in now)

Of course making that "one standard to rule them all" easy enough to use is a hard problem. It may be itself impossible and thus everyone drops back to the current mess.
Yeah, I hope it doesn't mean that they will remove Command Palette. Unfortunately, it's still an opt-in "feature preview", so who knows what this means. For me it's a key navigation tool in GitHub, but I can understand that it's more of a power user feature.
The same way you did it "in the age of the internet" and "in the age of TV"

You largely don't. Of course you try to motivate them. And it does work on some, mostly out of fear of an authoritarian institution that's setting the course for their life, rather than conveying the intrinsic value of the pursuit. And the rest is just glorified day-care.

Yep. When they do that it does make you wonder who shares common ground with whom, and who spreads lies and propaganda about what.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that more people have read Sam Pepys in the last 15 years than in the previous few hundred, due to https://www.pepysdiary.com (it's a bot that tweets Pepys' Diary in real time; no longer available on Twitter due to API changes, but it's still on RSS, Mastodon and Bluesky. It's on its third run through the diaries).
Bluesky is decentralized and has no central algorithm, so I'm not sure where you're getting this misinformation from. I'm happy to be shown otherwise.
Without having read the legislation, the two aren't necessarily contradictory. They only are if the subsidy mechanically increases with the tax.

A "climate income" is a good example of that. Everyone gets taxed by usage/pollution, but the collected tax gets redistributed evenly.

That way, on average there is no extra taxation, in fact it's typically a redistribution from top to bottom. And yet every individual will end up with more money the less they pollute. It's that individual incentive that makes the measure effective, but it's the redistribution that makes it socially acceptable (if implemented correctly)
Stop using python 3 as an example. It is really tiring to hear about an extreme case of gross incompetence over and over again, while over in say the Grails/Spring ecosystem I don't even bother upgrading Grails 3 or 4 Plugins to Grails 6, because they still work as intended. When you upgrade a plugin from one version to the next, you're just swapping out build.gradle, gradle wrapper and a bunch of ancillary properties files. The build system changes, but everything else stays the same with only a tiny tiny minority of plugins being affected and even then the things that broke are absolute nonissues that can be fixed relatively quickly.

It is kind of interesting how the python community hasn't learned a thing from python 2/3. The problem isn't breaking backwards compatiblity. Probably the biggest mistake you can do is act like breaking backwards compatiblity is a big deal, therefore you should pile up as many breaking changes as possible and release them all at once so as to maximize pushback and upgrade friction.

It is in fact the exact opposite. If you break 10 libraries out of a million, you as the language developer can step in and upgrade them on behalf of the original maintainer. The users increment a library version when they increment the language version and done.

Any that takes Leviticus seriously will have issues with both food and male homosexuality, though I'd point out that not all denominations of Christianity do so about homosexuality and most Christians expressly reject the bits about food.

People can be weirdly selective about such things, which is why I've not seen any suggestion by current christians that sacrificing a bird and dipping another bird in it's blood and then then shaking the blood soaked bird on the patient is a valid cure for leprosy. (Chapter 14:1-7)

Just realised that the text in Leveticus if taken literally says women are not allowed to have straight sex, only gay sex:

"""You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination""" - Leviticus 18:22

That said, translations are more of an art than a science, that's why there are so many of them.

It might instead be interpreted as a statement against being bisexual like me, where either gay or straight is fine but doing both is what the writer (from the Watsonian perspective, god) doesn't like.

Google test and mock are quite powerful but are a big hit at both compile time and runtime, which matters for quick edit-compile-fix loops.

I still go back and forth on whether google test and mock are worth it.

Google benchmark is also nice.
