Curious - how is/was performance helped by rewriting? Why not reach out to us, to see if it can be fixed in the library - wouldn't that be cheaper than rewriting?
Hahaha...I love this comment. I have just been stuck for a week doing edge puzzles and backstepping recursion, keeping myself awake aye night because it bothered me I couldn't "just" solve it.
There's a graph here of the "hardness" of each day/task, based on how long the 100th place on the leaderboard used. https://aoc.xhyrom.dev/

So it's not linear, and also based on your own knowledge. So perfectly fine to skip some days and still it's possible to solve some of the next ones!
I remain haunted by the new score that Gabriel Thibaudeau created for the 2010 restoration of Metropolis. I saw it performed live in Toronto and I'm still desperate to hear it again someday, but there's never been any home media release (official or unofficial) so far as I know.
Likewise. I did it one year in college and it became a life-consuming thing almost immediately. Not AoC's fault - part of it was depression, part of it was the Minnesota winter. Now that I have a full-time job and a wife, I'm trying to be more careful with those things that I know will suck me in.
I ask that because you bring up Procter & Gamble, and imply the same concept exists everywhere, not just military companies.
No, we do not. Calculators are a whole different issue from LLMs, which plagiarize and spoonfeed whole paragraphs of thought.

Enshittification occurs when previously good or excellent things are replaced by mediocre things that are good enough for those susceptible for advertising and group think.

Examples are McDonalds vs. real restaurants, Disney theme parks vs. Paris, the interior of modern cars, search engine decline, software bloat etc.
Ephemeral Resource Configuration Reference
It shouldn’t be hard for a database to keep a hash around for each database, update it whenever a DDL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_definition_language) command is run, and, optionally, verify that a query is run against the exact database structure.

Could be as simple as secure hashing the old hash with the text of the DDL command appended.

That would mean two databases can be identical, structure-wise, but have different hashes (for example if tables are created in a different order), but would that matter in practice?

Alternatively, they can keep a hash for every table, index, constraint, etc. and XOR them to get the database hash.
We need a to-do app following these principles... then another for product management.
Thank you - that's humour though isn't it? I think the best jokes start with a moment of confusion which is resolved by sudden understanding, but sometimes that understanding never arrives and then the joke doesn't land - that's partly due to the listener and partly due to the person telling the joke.
I think you need all stars to do the final puzzle.
whoops! thank you!
Nice! Would love to collaborate

It helps, but when one has enough C++ knowledge, I still consider C++/CLI a better solution instead of yet another tool, that might not understand everything.

Now if doing cross platform code, C++/CLI is naturally not an option.

Those Amcrest cameras are rebranded Dahua products with the logos changed. Right down to the firmware bugs and confusing UI. They’re actually great cameras for the money, but man do I loathe their quirks sometimes.
Half?

A device runs on electricity and performs a function. It consumes power at a rate of x.

You're telling me that a device that performs the same function will consume power at a rate of precisely x/2 simply by virtue of being plugged into USB?
Rant accepted :-)

One thing that certainly has changed, over these years, is that the size of applications is much, much larger now.

And, certainly, we never had to think about security in the 90's, for regular-degular business apps, anyway. Now, the security dimension is it own barrel of worms, both affecting our software design and requiring network security specialists as well, configuring our boxen. I doubt very many of us are working on pure intranet apps.

So, yeah, the roots are the same, but the trunk is much larger, higher and much more expansively bushy, and its environment is considerably more dangerous.

I can see the point. We may not always need oil but while there is demand, better it comes from the Americas than Russia.
They do seem to have actually made a good chunk of a game, though. Whether it's worth it is another question. At least it does seem like there's an underserved market for the kind of game Star Citizen is aiming to be, though it is of course easier to sell a dream than reality. To me it feels about as exploitative as mobile gatcha games, but no more, and those are generally allowed to exist despite massive criticism.
I have to say I do see Linus' point though. Mainline is for stuff that's production-ready and well tested.

Having said that it's a great initiative and I hope it becomes ready for prime time. I think btrfs is taking too long and is infused with too much big tech interest.
Yes. But the general tendency in Apple breeding is the same. Transportability and storability above all. With then getting more sugary, save granny smith.

Personally I’m after historical apples. I’ve two local classics. One breed is from 19th century, the other is probably older, but I don’t buy claims it’s coming from medieval era. Taste is nice and they survive pretty well with very little upkeep with no modern chemistry.

I also just planted few less-known modern colon style breeds. Fingers crossed few years later it will pay off.

Hmm I don't trust Google at all to be honest. I don't even use a Google account on my android phone anymore.

I do have some ring cameras but they're only looking at my front door and I've cut the microphones out of them (they're incredibly sensitive, I could literally hear myself word for word two rooms away).

Most of my cams are TP-Link used in local mode with internet access blocked.

Instead, the newly elected US officials will very likely create a "strategic bitcoin reserve" where the US government buys bitcoins, enriching the whales who will finally have a large enough buyer to absorb all their mounds of coins. It'd be like if they had created a 'strategic beanie baby reserve' in the 90s.

This brief introduction about myself is meant to provide a clearer response to the developers who often ask me how to become a hybrid developer like me. The answer is not straightforward, as my experience has been quite erratic. There was no clear learning path. As I’ve explained, most of my learning was unstructured and driven by business needs. However, there are indeed some courses and books that helped me along the way to hybridizing my knowledge. Without further ado, here are the main courses that helped me.

I think that reputation stem from Ruby 1.X era, Ruby is now at 3.X which have had massive improvements on the performance (for being an interpreted language).
It’s not possible to release two versions at the same time without unnecessarily delaying the AI4 version.
Ironically, with Javascript it would be a lot easier for normies to secure and encrypt their transactions, using their locally generated private keys. The elliptic curve used in all of these is R256, not K256 (Koeblitz) used in Bitcoin/Ethereum, and some believe it might have been selected by NIST because of some cryptographic weakness.

The only way it could be secure, however, is proving that the entire HTML + CSS + JS bundle matches a hash and has been vetted by multiple auditors.

Without Javascript running on the page, you could theoretically scan QR codes with your phone, but this would generate requests from your phone to an arbitrary URL and wind up in your DNS logs. If you’re looking for privacy as well as security, it might not be great.

An alternative might be to download HTML+Javascript to your local computer, where you generate keys, and click links to go there and back (use it for auth and signin).

The best way, these days, is to not use Tor but something like SAFE network or Freenet. The SAFE (previously MaidSAFE) network actually uses a hardened Kademlia DHT that redacts the IP address after the first hop. There was also the Hypercore ecosystem with Beaker browser but there, IP addresses are exposed and can even be DDoSed.

Fujis are great. They are consistently crisp AND sweet. None can still compare, even the new varieties are lacking something that a Fuji already has.

Rust doesn't support that, but there's an RFC trying to figure out how that could be done (hasn't gone anywhere after more than 10 years of discussions): https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/294

But Rust supports macros, just like Lisp, so of course someone wrote a library that provides something similar:

https://docs.rs/some-error/latest/some_error/

Their post about how they came up with this crate is quite interesting:

>Japan is a sovereign country.

So is China. That didn't stop the US from retaliating economically when they do things the US didn't like. Just because countries are sovereign doesn't mean the US can't force them into compliance, allies or no allies.

Why do you think the US spends more on military than all the other powers combined? So they call all be sovereign from the US? Or for the US to have enforcement over world geopolitics and influence over the other powers to keep being the world reserve currency?

LLMs are nothing like Markov chains I've come across or worked with. I've never used a markov chain trained with anywhere near the number of states you'd need.

This feels like saying "it's just if statements". So yeah, but also thats a terrible mental model for how to use them.

I no longer find this useful because I tend to get the same results no matter how I format my query. And these aren't even good results. Most often I get results for the stuff that is similar but at the same time completely unrelated to what I am actually searching for.

An example from yesterday: I wanted to search for curtains that would be resistant to cat scratches. No matter what I'd search for I would get the same set of links including the following:

* shops that sell textiles that are cat resistant but aren't drapes

* various surface-level guides that talk about this subject but no mention of any specific products (SEO spam)

* ways that are """helpful""" but ultimately harmful, such as spraying smells that cats doesn't like

Not a single mention of anything actually useful or related to what I actually searched for. I am either the first person who asked about this topic ever or there's something wrong with the search.
I hope this becomes the standard way of writing shaders across all platforms. There is no compelling reason for having to use WGSL, HLSL, GLSL or Metal C++. Having one single feature-complete language is a huge QoL improvement.
but they are hallucinating. according to this reading they won't in the future but we will pretend that they still do because that allows us to let AI dominate.

that makes no sense to me.

it's ok for AI to run the world because they just make up stuff anyways? don't we want the opposite? in order to allow AI to run the world, shouldn't we believe that they are foolproof and are always able to figure out the correct answer?
In my very limited experience: In addition to cross-compiling, you want additional features that WGSL doesn't provide if you want to compose shaders, so you'd end up with a tool like naga-oil [1] or wesl anyways.

That’s not inability, that’s client preference.

Very few clients want to pay for certified defect free software, as they prefer the lesser cost (and greater speed) of defective software that’s patched as defects become problematic. So most software exists without major defects and in a way that repairs are minimally expensive.

Delivering client preference is good engineering.

The point of running numerical simulations is that when they come out wrong, you learn something. If you simulate this, for example, and get a different answer, you’ve learned that you’ve misunderstood the claim.

In other cases, a numerical simulation giving a wrong answer can quickly tell you that your apparently valid reasoning contains a mistake. That’s really useful, because subtle reasoning errors are really easy to make, and math is full of fun false proofs.

A wrong simulation is strong evidence that you’ve misunderstood something, and so by necessity, a correct simulation is (weaker) evidence that you’ve understood correctly.
I find that at my local grocery store in NJ, Cosmic Crisps to be more consistently good than Honeycrisps, despite being less crispy. But the best Honeycrisps are better.

Sweetango is also consistently flavorful and crispy and normally better than Cosmic, but the availability is what's inconsistent.

(And a Fuji apple I had in Japan was as good as the best Honeycrisps)
Letting people die, wait no, misinforming people so they choose the option where they die, is criminal. Which also explains why you protect and defend criminals.

Interesting! Explains that even though I've used a laptop since 1992 to do school work because of my learning disabilities(Dysgraphia, mid-line problems, poor fine motor control) I still prefer to hand write my notes. Even if I never read them I noticed that just the act of doing them helps me remember things. I might not remember the source but I can remember the act of note taking. I've noticed the same thing with reading as well.
You are almost certainly downvoted primarly for the tone, not content. "For all the tech people" is very likely to bring downvotes. If you wrote it as a personal data point it would be fine.

As someone who developed in Adobe Flex back in the day I find React so straightforward that as long as you keep an iota of discipline then even events, contexts and hooks feel "easy" compared to every other attempt at large Rich Internet Application approaches I've seen.

Just like in Flex the difficulty (and don't get en wrong often extreme awful difficulty) comes when someone fights against the system and can cause a cascade of terribleness. There were always telltale red flags when looking at Flex code when someone tried to circumvent the component lifecycle and the same smell can be spotted in React code.
> The experiment comprised a total of 30 trials, where each word appeared in two different conditions, presented in a randomized order. For each trial, participants were instructed to either (a) write in cursive with their right hand the presented word with a digital pen directly on the screen, or (b) type the presented word using the right index finger on the keyboard. Before each trial, the instruction write or type appeared before one of the target words appeared, and the participants were given 25 s to either write by hand or type the word multiple times, separated by a space. EEG data were recorded only during the first 5 s of each trial. To prevent artifacts produced by head and eye movements caused by shifting gaze between the screen and the keyboard, typed words did not appear on the screen while the participant was typewriting. The writings produced by the participants (see Figure 1 for example) were stored for offline analyses.

I wonder what the effect would be when considering:

a) proficiency to write in cursive

b) touch typing ability
Skiplist discussions that don't talk about heap effects are probably incomplete. The big limitation with skiplists for anything that isn't a "mostly-write-once" workload (something that, it should be noted, doesn't get much benefit from the atomic implementation discussed) is that the metadata record is variable sized, which does bad things to heap fragmentation and cache locality (two things you probably care deeply about if you're going so far as to junk your AVL tree for a lockless data structure) and isn't amenable to the slab-style optimizations used elsewhere.

I love skiplists for their simplicity, especially compared with the balanced trees against which they compete. But the truth is they're very one-trick-pony data structures and don't bring lot to the table as a general choice. Their home is pretty limited.
