Because nowadays many fruits and veggies are bread for storability and transportability. Then sugariness. Taste is an afterthought. Let alone smell.

I got a tiny lot and started growing some berries, fruits and veggies. There's a masive selection for pretty much any given species. Do you want eat-off-the-plant or make a jam? Do you prefer more or less sugary taste? How much are you willing to maintain and defend them? If you're looking for analysis paralysis, gardening is the way to go.

Not super happy with it.

- It asks about structs as if it was an update in C#. However, C# has them since version 1.

- Generics and changes to delegates and lambda also happened such a long time ago that many among current workforce had not even entered the industry yet.

- Nullable value types were introduced in C# 2/.NET Framework 2.0, alongside generics. This version was released almost 20 years ago, in 2005!

- Teams/companies usually don't update their products to a new language version. They update to a new .NET version which is an important distinction. You can target an older or newer LangVersion separately. Some of the newer features will not work on older .NETs because they are runtime-dependent, and some will require using one of the polyfill and compat packages (easy to reference). The majority of language features are not runtime-dependent. You can write "modern style" C# while targeting net462 provided you have a necessary SDK.

I realize that it makes conducting such a questionnaire more complicated but it's expected because Java and C# as languages have went in different directions and are quite unlike each other in many of their aspects, despite common belief.
The problem is that it doesn’t do anything. Maybe you slightly slow down a volumetric spam attack, but you’re just putting a sleep() before letting spam through which might be the worst solution.
As for economic viability, it’s still just a sleep(). Even if it somehow did cost extra money to use more of the CPU, botnets don’t even use their own hardware.

And if you make the PoW so hard that it takes very very long to solve then you basically made a captcha that bots have no problem doing (it’s just time) and humans don’t want to do at all especially on their phone.
There's a lot to like about Elm, but the tradeoff is that the BDFL (Evan) has essentially abandoned public work on it [0, 1], and the community seems to be shrinking [2].

I personally wouldn't choose it for new projects, and I consider it essentially a brilliant research language (it's inspired a LOT of other UI work).

I'll say, this has been the worst part of my little indie dev adventure.

I knew I'd be uncomfortable with a lot of it, but I also didn't realize how flat out bad I am at it. I've spent so much time fiddling with keywords, refreshing splash pages for app stores, making a good landing page, buying ads, adjusting paywalls, etc. But the uptake has been depressingly low. A few people downloaded the app, but not only have I had no paying customers and no reviews, no one has even tried the sync aspect of the app that I built a backend for! I really misjudged how little attention it would get in the app store, and how rapidly they'd bail from it.

My wife and I use the app. I find that code improvements bring some satisfaction even if there is no external ROI, whereas marketing type efforts are just a drag.
A significant number of the "farmers" at farmer's markets arent. Some even buy thier stock from costco and the like. A commercially productive farmer does not have the time to spend a day selling a few apples in the city center. The safer bet is to drive out to roadside stands at the actual farms, then of course then you can only buy the one or two products currently being harvested at that paticular farm. The upside is that, as you are driving rather than walking, you can load up on 50+lbs of corn for friends and family without worry.

I saw the major retrospective at the Heywood. Spending a few hours with all the 60s illusion paintings really does do a number on you...

The works that most pleased me most were the later colourful wall paintings like Rajastan (2012). Painting directly on the gallery walls makes for an interesting copyright / art-as-property type question. I guess her team has to repaint them wherever they are shown and must oversee their destruction too. Feels like there could be a Star Trek transporter glitch type issue and whoops, we now have two Rajastan (2012)'s.

I was just browsing these Wikipedia pages to get an idea of the extent of interplanetary exploration:

List of Solar System Probes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System_probes

Exploration of the Solar System:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_exploration_of_t...

The Russian space program, despite having many firsts and many successes, had a huge number of failures early on with interplanetary probes and fell off almost completely by the mid-70's. Meanwhile Europe and Japan, both often viewed as lackluster space powers due to their lack of manned space programs, have contributed massively to solar system exploration.

I mean, not to be that guy, but multiple Marxist and Marxist-adjacent people I know and am have been out here pointing out how this was exactly and always what was going to happen since the LLM hype cycle really kicked into high-gear in mid-2023. And I was told in no uncertain terms, many times, on here, about how I was being a doomer, a pessimist, a luddite, etc. etc. because I and many like me saw the writing on the wall, immediately, that while generative AI represented a neat thing for folks to play with, that it would, like every other emerging tech, quickly become the sole domain of the monied entities that already run the rest of our lives, and this would be bad for basically everyone long term.

And yeah it looks be shaping up as exactly that.

Are Biobased Microfibers Less Harmful Than Conventional Plastic Microfibers?
Thanks for asking, i also read some of it and got frustrated by the article so came looking for the answer
VLANs are great. Unfortunately, I've got an unmanaged 12-port PoE+ switch that doesn't support them. My workaround is to put two subnets on the same physical LAN, and my DHCP server (pihole) has an IP address on each subnet.

My (openWRT) router also has IPs on both subnets, and routes both LANs to the WAN. Restricting/throttling WAN bandwidth is easily managed in OpenWRT. Preventing WAN access is easily done by not providing a gateway in the DHCP assignment (pihole).

Obviously the big difference between this and a VLAN is that an ill-behaved device could still access the other subnet, and could still discover the gateway and route to the WAN. So far, none of the IoT crap on my restricted subnet has misbehaved.

I went through this just yesterday. Bought a bunch of Honeycrisps, and was underwhelmed compared to my memory of them. I also don't like Cosmic Crisps anymore.

Side note: Those new jumbo blueberries are insane.
Just seems to happen with every apple I like, unfortunately. I think I'm currently on Cosmic Crisp or Jazz apples as my mains. I give them about five years before they start to suck.

Do you have an issue tracking what is currently happening and what you want to happen instead?

I'm really perplexed by your talk about "having enough money for allowlisting" because I have never heard of anyone paying a distro any amount of money for any purpose, and that's not even getting into the obvious fact that Ubuntu isn't the only distro out there

I don‘t care much for Kanzi and Fuji and Pink Lady. To me, Braeburn is good, Boskoop is great, and Berlepsch is amazing, but sometimes hard to get outside the apple grow regions.
Those things were never seen as impossible, just difficult. Nobody has even a theoretical concept of how to move tons of liquid oxygen between rockets in orbit. And there is some talk of banning it as too dangerous. Remember all those pad explosions related to fuel issues? We cannot risk that much space debris as spaceX goes through a learning process.
I completely agree. The product being sold has only a loose connection to the cost incurred by the provider. This is why the product being sold is being sold in a vague / loose-ish way, because for the overwhelming majority of customers, the product being sold can be sold for a profit.

There are many tech devices not made in china.

That all tech devices are made in china is a myth propagated by the ignorant (or malicious).

From the raspberry pi (UK) to Samsung Galaxy (South Korea) it is trivial to find a product not made in China once you leave the low end of the market.

And now even the low end has alternatives if you spend some time and effort.

Name any category of product whatsoever and I will personally find you a non-Chinese alternative.

Even many things “made” in China are only really assembled in China. A computer that’s “made” in China is often just slapped together like a lego kit from pieces made in Thailand, South Korea, Germany, the US, Singapore and Taiwan (which isn’t a part of China).

Not necessarily. Cars are a great proxy for human behavior.

Long term, cars will be leased based on driving behavior, and more critically, will be taxed based in driving distance and style.

Yes, which is why I actually think this is a great little moment—but I almost didn't make it to that sentence.
On the other hand, do we have any means of finding out whether they did? It's one thing if you can say "No, they definitely don't, here's what's actually sent and here's how it's used and here's the contracts limiting what's gathered". Otherwise we're all just speculating.

But in the absence of solid proof, I think the history of the last several decades of surveillance shows that it's completely reasonable to assume the absolute worst. Snowden showed that the scope of government data collection was far beyond even the wildest assume-the-worst theories floated in tech media prior to the revelations, and Doubleclick (wearing its Google façade) makes the NSA look lazy.

The reason these assumptions are reasonable, is that there's incentive for them to be true. Someone's willing to pay for that data. Maybe not very much, but if it costs almost nothing to collect, then it works out.

The way some manager sees it, Nissan would be "leaving money on the table" if they didn't spy on their customers to the absolute maximum permitted by their EULA. This gets brought up in every internal meeting about telemetry features, I can assure you. (I've been in those meetings for a number of automakers, though not Nissan specifically, the whole industry is on board. It turns the stomach. My voice was not heard.)
> You read books and now you have a job? Pay up.

It is disingenuous to imply the scale of someone buying books and reading them (for which the publisher and author are compensated) or borrowing them from the library and reading them (again, for which the publisher and author are compensated) is the same as the wholesale copying without permission or payment of anything not behind a pay wall on the Internet.
It’s worth going back to the start of this thread and seeing that this all started with someone complaining that their provider had reduced the BW allowance and wanting somewhere with more generous allowances. When the provider sells things for what it actually costs, the customer gets upset and looks for someone selling a subsidised product in a misleading way. Leading to other people getting upset about the mislead. Those people should go to the original provider, who is doing exactly what they asked for!
I would pay a lot more for a phone with these switches. But you're probably right - there aren't enough of us to build a product around.

If there are any independent phone makers listening - I would switch from iPhone to Android if it had switches like these.
It’s unclear who caused it exactly, but sol-ark does not seem to be at fault unless one thinks exclusivity contracts are illegal or wrong.

It seems deye either willfully or negligently ignore their contract they made with sol ark. Or their middle men in other countries did. Deye then punished the end users for deye’s lapses.

Where does solark get blame unless the exclusivity contract is what one objects to.
If you want to inference big LLMs on CPU, you really want those 2x 12 memory channels a Dual EPYC system offers you for decent speeds.

> The first is the lawyer drafting the release being overcautious. The second is a corporation being evil.

How was the hypothetical overcautious lawyer able to independently come up with such a specific scenario, which would require intimate technical knowledge?

I believe your are missing a third option, which is a synthesis of both. This is that the engineers reported that their sensor data could be used to collect sexual activity. However, in response to that, the corporation preferred to cover themselves legally rather than making any technical effort to address the risk on their customers' privacy.

The lawyer is not being overcautious, but simply displaying the corporation's priorities. The corporation is not being evil, it is just being psychopathic.

> It seems healthier and more scalable if each developer could package it autonomously without work from the central maintainer group.

> Flatpak has the promise of decentralizing distribution. That said, my experience of it so far has been brittle, with things like changing your locale or shell prompt causing your apps to freeze[2]. I hope they make a stable operating system nonetheless, but it is not easy.

That's not a coincidence; you just got rid of the pesky maintainers who made sure that the collective system worked, leaving only a bunch of separate apps that are free to do whatever they want.

On the same note, this ensures that security updates are decentralized, so instead of running 'apt upgrade' and being done, you get to hope that every dev providing you with packages updates their dependencies (which is also harder because flatpak encourages vendoring as much as possible).
That will be very common in the corpus, thus pattern matching and retrieval more than 'reasoning'.

Not that isn't useful, just expected behavior for an LLM these days.

I would be interested in the output, because it is almost certainly the more common by fundamentally incorrect intro class half truth, that is useful for the typical curriculum, but not near the frontier of current understanding.
It's 3x the price of the $5 Pi Zero, you could argue it's not even in the same ballpark.
As an apple connoisseur myself I’ve switched from honeycrisp to cosmic crisp over the last three years and I’m never going back.

I’m fully aligned I eat apples for the texture above all else, with flavor being important but nothing close to how much crunch eat bite has.
Apples aren't like other fruit, they're essentially clones. If you breed an apple for something, your making a new apple
Yes, which is why if you're serious you will exclusively use the terminal to protect your computer from even the passing chance of being exposed to a so called "image file".

In all seriousness, compilation and model training are lossy processes and erase a lot of the context needed to understand the output (and with model training we don't fully understand it even with access to the training data). Images aren't necessarily derivative of anything, so the analogy breaks down here.
Same. In my case I always use a separate incognito mode browser for posting and a regular locked-down browser with JS disabled etc. So I'd have to either give in and leave the incognito mode browser running in the background while I browser on the main browser, or give in and stop blocking as aggressively on the main browser, and I chose to do neither and just stop posting.

Given the schizos that are still present and drowing out the conversation in half the threads I read, there wouldn't be a point to posting anyway.
> We don't want to do meta programming where we have another language living as a string in our web app.

Strings are fine in theory, but the trouble with SQL is that, while too high-level in all the wrong places, it is also too low-level in all the wrong places. Developers want to be able to do things like define the shape of the data beyond tables and compose queries, which SQL fails hard at. In order to accomplish what developers need, you either end up extending SQL into a new language, or you can use the programming constructs you already have, treating SQL as a compiler target, where necessary. The latter is considerably easier to implement.

I'm fully on the "SweeTango" hype train, which AppleRankings #1 rated breed:

https://applerankings.com/sweetango-apple-review/

SweeTango's #1 fault, which the site calls out, is that they do not store well. The recent bags I've taken home are notably less crisp and hardy than earlier in the fall.

That said, they'll still be absolutely delicious for another few weeks, highly recommend buying a bag. Trader Joe's usually carries.
