>ZFS's major failing is that it offers no way to address inevitable filesystem data and free space fragmentation, and while you can remove devices from a ZFS pool, it incurs a permanent performance penalty, because they work around ZFS's architectural inflexibilities by adding a mapping table so it can find the moved chunks of data.

I'm not an FS specialist but by chance a couple of days ago I found an interesting discussion about the reliability of SSD disks where there was a strong warning about the extreme wearing of commercial SSDs by ZFS (up to suggestion to never use ZFS unless you have heavy duty/raid version of SSD disks). So ZFS also has unfinished work and not only the mentioned by you software improvements-related.

BTW From my - nonspecialist - point of view, it is easier to resist the urge to use unreliable features of Btrfs than to replace a bunch of SSD drives. At least if you pay for them from your own pocket.
It can be type safe in relation to the established contract between services.
By "can't" I obviously mean that it's impractical not literally impossible. Of course you can technically walk to anywhere that a car can go and more places besides.

The point remains. People buy cars as soon as they can unless the built environment forces most of them not to (e.g. London, NYC, Tokyo).

Even in London most people buy cars as soon as they have a family unless they're skint.

Solving the puzzles in a REPL in a dynamic language brings a lot of joy to AOC.

My daily grind is like carefully scaffolding and repainting a 50 storey office building made of typed, modular, spaghetti couples Python ML code.

AOC in ipython, by comparison, is like doodling pictures with a brush pen!

It is very enjoyable and also why leetcode is a little silly for interviews: convince me you can I want to know a candidate can flawlessly paint several hundred square feet of wall, not doodle a cat cartoon.

(Or, away from the analogy, the software equivalents. Can you safely progress business goals as a member of a team on a legacy codebase that’s partly evolving on the cutting edge and also partly rotting on the trailing edge? I don’t care if you can build a naive implementation of our trading system… sorry I mean an Elephant Auction… in 90 minutes!)

Google's ultimate proof is to build better chips than the competition. Which, at this point, they cannot.
I find this disclaimer on the steam page particularly interesting:

All the Characters, Art and Storylines depicted in this game are purely the work of fiction. Any similarity to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. The plot of this game is a fictional history inspired by real facts. Even the political and military groups depicted on the game are fictional. In this game, the player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly, only soldiers. Also in this game there are NO images of sexual content, illicit drugs, religious desecration, hate of speech against any group, ethnicity or religion, anti-Semitic propaganda against Jews, Nazi propaganda or boasting of any terrorist groups and / or other unlawful acts. This game only contains the virtual representation of the Palestinian Resistance Movement against the Israeli Military Occupation, which is officially recognized by the United Nations (UN). This game was approved to release by Brazilian's Government Justice Department, Age Rating Sector.

To be honest, the game looks ridiculous with its over the top scenes. It's like a reverse spec ops the line, except it's so exaggerated it's ridiculous rather than depressing
Most years I've skipped a couple days and revisit them later. Usually just because I give myself 1-2 hours limit to avoid staying up too late working on them, and unless it's the weekend I don't always have time during the next day to wrap them up. No reason to stop just because of a single blocker.
> Management is not about control, it’s about outcomes.

Management is about controlling the outcomes. Nobody could claim to be managing a situation well if they are responsible but exercising literally no influence over the process. If the manager could be replaced with a garden gnome and it doesn't change the outcome then the situation is effectively unmanaged.

We seem to be in furious agreement so I don't know why my perspective is eluding you. You're looking at a situation that might have an outcome that is unacceptable. You've identified that there is no measurable way to assess progress or quality. You've concluded that there is nothing you can say, do or observe that will help. The situation is then left unmanaged because there is nothing to measure and you're waiting for something you can measure before you act. This is the basics of management, what you can measure you can manage what you can't you can't.

It just happens that in the small software is unmanageable, as quickly becomes clear if you have management experience of a non-software process and compare it to managing a software team.
“Ejecting” is the key term here I think, or at least the one I’ve always used - for when you need to shed the handlebars for more control.
Code is cost. Low-code is getting a vendor to generate code for you (cost again) and putting into a black box you can't access. i.e. lock in.
Yes. Traditional software has an unbroken chain of hard responsibility back to a human. Once you introduce non-determinism, things get weird.
All these papers doing "research" on how to better prompt ChatGPT would be unpublishable then, given that API access to older models gets retired, so the findings of these papers can no longer be reproduced.

(I agree with you in principle; my example above is meant to show that standards for things such as reproducibility aren't easily defined. There are so many factors to consider.)

I had 3 of those 1 hour interviews for a position at Apple, with people watching every move and thinking of ways to break the solution. I don't think I could do it again, no matter what.
Just go try on a “medium” sized shirt in America and see how far this has went. You can be obese and still find it roomy. I’m 5’ 11” 175lb and I need to dress in small and occasionally extra-small items of clothing. How the hell is someone like me small?

I used to be 205lb and people would refuse to believe I was overweight. I thanked them for the compliment but always reminded them “I know I’m not, im well above what any medical text would call a healthy weight”. I even had one friend who’d call me “skinny”… it’s politeness by some but by a lot of others it’s just a complete shift in standards and expectations.

Everything in the U.S. is geared towards husky folk. Big portions, lots of calories, and the idea of walking even a mile to get somewhere? Forget about it. The new weight loss drugs may help but they are fighting a lot of entrenched “stuff” that just makes being overweight easier and less burdensome.
Yeah I know it will be tough.

I do allow myself a 5Gb disk to which I can page out memory.
You can always mmap a memory range, place a struct there, then mprotect it. And on the language side you cannot overwrite readonly structs observed by readonly refs (aside from unsafe, which will trigger segfault in this case).

There are ways to do it. What matters is the user ergonomics, otherwise, by this logic, most higher-level languages would have even less of a claim to immutability, and yet somehow it's not an issue?

If there are exotic requirements - there are exotic tools for it. FWIW static readonlys are blocked from modification even through reflection and modifying their memory with unsafe is huge UB.

According to the steam description, only soldiers are killed.

It's clear they would have had to use children and not soldiers, had they made this about an Israeli soldier and not a Palestinian one (/s)
You may be interested to know that the story for The Maltese Falcon, not listed, will also be entering public domain because it was published in monthly installments in Black Mask magazine before it was published as a novel. (Any changes between the publication in Black Mask and those made for the novelization, if significant enough, will of course still be under copyright and so the novelization proper still won't be entering public domain for another 13 months.)

We have had difficulty getting our hands on these issues, though (or scans of them).

It's interesting that AMC just launched a series featuring Sam Spade this year, the year before the character goes into the public domain…
Perhaps it's in bad taste to Westerners who've imbibed a steady stream of atrocity propaganda about October 7, which avoids acknowledging that many of those killed and captured were legitimate military targets. By all accounts these are the antagonists presented in that mission in the game.
On Stupid Rules and Quick Wins
I’ve been frequently bitten by the Music bug. It keeps playing but the controls no longer work so you can’t pause or skip and have to force-quit the app. I also had an issue where iOS told my car I was on a phone call instead of playing music, which prompted my car to only play the music through the center speaker, which is extremely quiet. I had to reboot the phone to fix it.

The bugs are annoying and I hope they get fixed soon. But in spite of this, I do like iOS 18 overall and it has some things that are genuinely useful, like RCS.

I was also surprised that the message summarization feature (the only Apple Intelligence feature I’ve used so far) is actually great. If someone sends me a “serious” text, it’s handy to get a gist of what it’s about so I can mentally prepare before I read it.
It can always spray some adhesive before it starts printing.
Not the person you're replying to but I would assume their point was to highlight the distinguishing feature of mathematics - the fact that it's not only possible to completely prove something to be true, but in fact is the only thing you can actually do (yes I know about experimental math etc).

But yeah that doesn't necessarily mean anything for pedagogy or just having fun and so on.
An account could be only on one side. The side and chapter is the meaning of this account. Account on the left just negates the increase/decrease direction.

In a bank ledger when a loan appears on a checking account, both increased. Loan on the left, checking on the right. DT Loan → CT Checking. Loan is an asset for a bank, Clients money is a liability.

On a client's balance sheet everything is mirrored. Checking is an asset, Loan is a liability.

Queries are quite simple. Volumes are problematic. In a big institution you would find several ledgers included in the general ledger by totals. You just don't need all the details in one place.
Not much, I suspect. The whole crypto industry is still discovering the hard way why the traditional finance industry is as heavily regulated as it is.

I think the color terms and frequency may make sense in reference to a comparison against uniformly-spaced points such as a rectangular grid. If you perturb uniformly-spaced points with high-frequency/short-wavelength adjustments, you won't get the large-scale clumping that results from also including low-frequency/long-wavelength distortions.
I worked onsite at 'the castle' in San Antonio as an Intel employee as part of the OSIC (OpenStack Innovation Center) collaboration between Intel and Rackspace. There was a tremendous amount of OpenStack talent there at the time. I hated working there because of the noise and distractions, but it was awesome to have some of the OpenStack talent there to speak with in person.

Kessler syndrome in LEO wouldn't cause any of this. GPS is up at MEO; satellites that are used for communication and TV are mostly up in GEO.

> The game wasn’t fully based on playing as bad guys.

Well yeah... COD is a giant mainstream game where that line has to be from a socially acceptable shortlist of bad guys. Yet it still included a transgressive scene that upset people with calls to remove it. I remember the news heavily covered it. Great for marketing.

This is some small Steam game where you can put together some low effort campaign in an old game engine, spin it with some controversial topic and get frontpage on social media without having to appease a wider audience.
It doesn't have to represent anything. Just as CS 747 map (CounterStrike, 747 Hijack map [1]) represents nothing, even though "we have seen that before".

Why isn’t the input a csv?
It's a question of usefulness. If in your problem domain "1+2=7" is the most useful definition, then by all means do that. Why does the semicolon terminate statements and not the universally agreed upon period? Why does the period denote member access? Why is multiplication not denoted by the universally agreed [middle dot / cross character] (strike out the one that is not universally agreed in your country). The design and semantics of a programming language ought to be in service of the programs we wish to express, and informed by our decades of experience in human ergonomics. Blind reverence to religions of yore does us no good. Mathematical notation itself has gone through centuries of development and is not universal, with papers within the same field using different notation depending on what strikes the author's fancy. To treat it as sacred and immutable is to behave most un-mathematically. Hell, you can still get into a nice hours-long argument about whether or not the set of natural numbers includes zero or not (neither side will accept defeat, even though there is clearly a right answer)!
I mean, there’s that, there’s the eugenics stuff… with Watson it’s a bit of a target-rich environment.
Is the unstated central thrust of your statement that someone who philosophically supported slavery at a time when it was a widespread practice must necessarily be of average or below average intelligence? If so, I'd argue that you're committing two common missteps I see frequently:

1. Conflating intellectual greatness with moral goodness. These are separate categories.

2. Applying current moral standards to a previous time. You must compare him to others if his time.

Slavery is unquestionably immoral, and it's perfectly reasonable to argue that someone completing philosophical work to support slavery is committing a moral wrong, but you have to keep in mind the society into which this person was enculturated and the time at which he lived.
Sounds like a very interesting Discord to check :)
It's at least partially linked to the spread of economic writing and leisure time. Socrates famously wouldn't (couldn't?) write; most of what he said we know through plato; much of the writing predating this was orally preserved and propagated. I find it hard to believe that logic hasn't been independently invented many times and places, though. The daodejing certainly implies an understanding of logic, even as it subverts it. There are logic puzzles in the odyssey and throughout folklore. And anywhere you find courts and judges you're likely to find some form of logic, and that had spread to the entirety of the mediterranean, more or less, including punic/phoenician colonies. I think it's very likely philosophy as an activity and logic itself well predate the written tradition. It's a natural response to conflict resolution in settled society at the very least, if not evolutionarily meaningful somehow.

I am personally somewhere in between. Language models do allow me to do things I wouldn't have patience to do otherwise ( yesterday chatgpt was actually helpful with hunting down a bug it generated:P ). I think there is some real value here, but I do worry it will not be captured properly.
Nope, just Oracle being a corp with a nasty reputation. Honesty it was easy to set up and has been super stable, and if you go ARM the amount of resources you get for free is crazy. I actually do recommend it for personal projects on the like. I'd just be hesitant about building a business based on any Oracle offering.

Google Maps search is also acting like that now. The search button searches for “kaffee” but I must change the query to “cafe” to get more results. Even then it misses obvious cafes to return random ones across the entire country.

Sometimes I search the same business type I see under a listing, and it won’t return any results. Not even the business I was just looking at.

Queries like “cafe laptop” returned cafes and highlighted reviews about laptop-friendliness. Now it returns random cafes.

The search experience across Google products feels like this now.

Not really taking credit or misunderstanding the work of his betters.
Yes, this is the difference between more typically Western European surnames and patro/matronyms. Russians typically have both, many Americans of Scandinavian descent have whatever patronym their paternal n-th grandfather had when they switched customs. I believe that's become the case for many Scandinavians of Scandinavian descent as well.

But in any case, these are names which come from the family. By Appeal to Wikipedia, "family name" redirects here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname

> A surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family.

Which links to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic_surname

Having this sentence:

> Nearly all [[Icelandic surnames]] are strictly patronymic

Linking to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name

Where these are also described as a surname.

Note that this is different from having one, two, or several given names, as the whole of someone's name. That happens as well. Such a person has no family name, unlike someone with a surname, or surnames, be they patronymic, matronymic, or otherwise.
Your fine parsing of the words does nothing at all about getting the customers access to their money.
It is not a redundancy. Actually the meaning of a transaction encoded in a pair of accounts. You will need to store it somewhere anyway in a real world scenario, but predefined account pairs is the universal language. The accounting system.

I'm not sure modern EVs are anything to go by. They are trying to meet the needs of a broad audience whereas you know exactly what you need out of a vehicle. For example, if you only need a 50 mile range, not 250, that is 80% of the weight down. No major manufacturer would put that out, but most drivers do less than 50 miles a day.

There are all kinds of design choices that can be made to fit completely within the original specs of the chassis.
Funny thing is they stop being great rather quick.

When you configure 10 controls and then you have to do another 10 but slightly different - with code you can mostly copy, paste, modify with search and replace and you are done.

With low code tools usually it is just the same work again and even if you can duplicate stuff with an option in the interface adjusting stuff goes one by one.
>> IIRC yota used evolve bank which is fdic insured. The problem it appears is that yota co-mingled funds so evolve doesn’t know who is owed the money. I read that a new reg has been put in place because of this issue.

Thanks for the detail.

Co-mingled funds lose FDIC insurance pretty quickly (via the cap) since the FDIC limits are per depositor per bank, so commingling is the best way to lose protection -- hard to see how anyone in leadership wouldnt see this issue.

Plato had a lot more influence on the early church than Aristotle did. I'm not sure if that's true in the African churches, though. I for some reason associate Aristotle with the alexandrian church and with gnosticism (& with islam), at least until Aquinus.
