Nintendo must have changed things since the early days then, since I recall switch systems updates taking as much as a half hour. You must endure the long download. Then you had to wait a while for it to actually update.
Wait a second - you're suggesting to cut LAPD funding because "crime is still rampant in Los Angeles"?

Wouldn't that be the same as advocating for cuts in the LAFD funding because they weren't able to do much about the wildfires anyway?

That doesn't seem to be the best way to go about things, at least not to me.
That’s a good point. They’d be a distraction to the fire chiefs
Or it could be rewritten in a bug-proof formal system for assertions. (Think Rust but better.)
I wonder how nicotine affects this? since it can affect norepinephrine
Having admissions is an objective good though. Yes there's some gatekeeping aspects to it. But smart people want to be around smart people. I went to a school that I got into easily and if I could change one thing that I did in HS I would apply to more schools and try to go to the one that I barely got into.

Study other things is good too. I went to a liberal arts school for this. I studied politics, chemistry, computer science, Chinese language, South African history, Russian literature. Of course me knowing how to count to ten in Mandarin or being able to talk about the influences of Dostoevsky never helped me get a job but being well-rounded is an objectively Good Thing. I don't think you should have 60 credits of gen eds but a semester or two worth of non-STEM classes over 2-3 years is not going to hurt anyone.
Anything Musk says is suspect until proven otherwise.
it doesn't have to be 3d though. another idea would be to assign mass values to the particles and see if after an amount of time if everything settles down to some sort of orbital track around each other. but either idea moves it from being a relaxing visual into a bit of sciencey simulator that totally changes to the scope of the project
Mainly since employers expect you to have a high degree of competency on the stack they are seeking people for. Sure I have worked with other languages like Python and Go, but I don't have the breath of experience I have on Ruby or C#... I guess I picked the wrong languages =)
The president of UW makes $912,000 a year. They have plenty of money, they're just not allocating it on the things they should be.
It is funny because I agree with you, a lot of things got worse.

My point is that it is the natural consequence of people losing the ability to agree on what is actually going on.

When you lose grip on reality, you lose the ability to make any meaningful change.
And more specifically that norepinephrine waves are highly correlated with and perhaps causative of that pumping.
We should also be asking if the benefits of a non-partitioned cache are truly there in the first place. I think the main claim is that if (for example) the same JS library is on a CDN and used across multiple sites, your browser only has to cache it once. But how often does this really happen in practice?
Poka-yoke specifically refers to inadvertent human errors, and isn't intended to stop someone from going around it intentionally, or avoiding all failures/error states

At my job, I add automations to try to avoid problematic and common errors. But I also engineer them so that a human can override them in the event of an emergency or some other need
I’m an academic and my institution does all such things in house with a real engineering team in the IT department- as well as a UI and visual design team. PIs can also pay them to develop sites for their own labs, etc. This is pretty standard across half a dozen universities I've worked at.
It sucks that you have to basically choke the money out of insurance to get them done prior to age 45. I found polyps by paying thousands out of pocket when insurance told me 36 was too young and there wasn't enough blood in my stool. That's with a mother having them removed at 19, and older brother having them removed at 39.
^ This.

You need a trusted advisor on your side who can look at it with a calm mind and perspective on what is normal, acceptable, and legal. You're young and have been slapped around, seemingly inappropriately.

If you were in physical pain, you'd talk to a doctor to assess and get recommendations before treatment. Do the same here.

There's a huge grey area of "I want the response of a warmed up lambda" and "I don't have enough hits that it is actually warmed up" - pair with using certain language "runtimes" like the JVM and there you have it.
Personally, I think that C#/.NET is much less complicated than Rust and more powerful than Go. It comes with some drawbacks as well - not gonna lie.

The main reason why C#/.NET can be viable in that space is AoT. Without AoT the startup performance (as well as runtime requirements) is killing the whole idea.

AoT, on the other hand, comes with some challenges. Some libraries cannot be used or require some work to be integrated. Hence, some of the flexibility of .NET cannot be used.
LLMs do a pretty darn good job of translating other languages, even preserving inflection and tone and rhyme in some cases. Same when translating programming languages. If the training pool is large enough, they should be quite good at it.

No problem marking them as machine translated and keeping track of which have been spot-checked by experts either.

Windows could have competed with merit only with GEOS and might have lost.

This is just false, and a quick look at any municipal budget is enough to confirm it. Infrastructure costs are small fraction of spend of any municipality. It’s typically under 10%. Making infra spend twice aa efficient will only increase ability to spend by 5%, which is equivalent to two years of revenue growth. The growth Ponzi scheme people say that it’s all deferred maintenance and in long term it will collapse, but it simply has not happened anywhere, even in places where suburban development pattern has existed for three quarters of a century.

Uh, that was sarcasm. Unintended acceleration failures are huge deals in the industry and absolutely already designed in with multiple (probably dozens) of layers of safety/redundancy at all levels up to and including human control. The point was that you can still imagine a N-mode failure that defeats all of that and use it to justifify whatever whizgig you're demanding in your local internet discussion. And that this was ridiculous, because that's not how you do engineering.

And... you did.

Otherwise, I just use the higher quality stuff online. I only use local stuff if I specifically don't want the data saved.
How soon do we get to hear that Starship ain't never leaving LEO after 15 refueling flights of tanker Starships that can't actually carry 100 tons of fuel each? Or that 50% growth of Tesla sales is perma-never? Or that trains actually work?
>Many people believe that programming is an essential skill. In my opinion, programming is just a tool. Modern no-code and low-code platforms have made this skill less critical for entering the field.

> What matters most is the result - how effectively you can use available tools to solve problems.

This depends on the organization(s) where a DS may work. If a DS is working within an organization with a robust BI/DE/whatever team that does all of the ingestion, normalization, cleaning, and pipelining of data for the DS, programming is far less important and concentration on the results of what is done w/those prepared data is far more important. But, if the DS is working in a bubble, forced to do all of the aforementioned work themselves, programming is an absolute requirement.

Taking a near-perfect prepared dataset and deriving modeled insights requires no huge programming lift from a DS in 2025; they may be able to copy-paste LLM- or Stackoverflow-derived pieces of code and spend their time on the insight derivation and next steps.

But, in many companies, there just isn't a robust and flexible set of teams that do the correct prep work for the DS to do what they do best and some sort of hybridized data/analytics engineer/DS is required to get to those insights--albeit with less time for the modeling, analyses, and outputs.

YMMV.

> Serverless is all about outsourcing the infrastructure for scaling a micro service.

Technically, it is all about removing the server from your application. The name literally tells you so. It is true that removing the server can offer some benefits in the scaling realm. In particular, it allows you to scale to 0 now that you no longer have to keep the process alive to serve requests.

Of course, that is not tradeoff free. Scaling to 0 brings you right back to the old problem of slow initialization once a request does come in, which was the primary driver for why we moved to hosting the server in the application in the first place.
Have you seen any reports of Google randomly closing business accounts? What do you think the reliability of Google’s servers compared to an in house managed server? Have you ever known GSuite not be available with Chrome?

As far as network/connectivity, how is that a Google problem if your office can’t connect to the internet?
You make it sound unidimensional but there is probably not 1 type of wildfire in California. Coastal residentially dense fires in chaperal are not the same things as massive fires burning in remote areas of national forrests in the sierras. There is no single cause or solution because they are totally different things, with different drivers and requiring different solutions.

It’s ironic how accepted vegetarians, who have a dietary preference, are in society, and how hated vegans, who have an ethical argument against unnecessary killing of sentient animals, are in society.

I only turned vegan a couple of years ago as something clicked and I was able to make the connection between the food I was eating and the animals who were being killed, almost certainly unnecessarily, for that food. But before then I disliked vegans a lot, and was completely fine with vegetarians. I’m honestly unable to reconcile my thinking.

It’s kind of like how I don’t understand how I strongly believed in god before I lost faith. Now the idea that I ever could, or ever did, believe in a personal god seems unbelievable to me.

Human psychology is ridiculously interesting.
A space that wide with a ceiling that low is always going to look a bit shit, unfortunately. The impressive subway stations linked are a combo of quite high spaces, and narrower spaces with lower ceilings, which can look good. But "broad wide space, low ceiling", there's really not a lot you can do.

A common approach for this sort of big low-ish train station is a partially or completely glass roof, ideally not flat, and that can look okay, but obviously not an option in this case.

For me, it's not clear what was most valuable here. I think that's an important thing to take away from a statement on traveling more. I don't think all of the items will have had equal value. Being physically present and checked out is possible. In any case, the other spouse carries more of the burden.

Alexa has dropped off. Every echo device I have was better in the past. My wife is lucky to trigger them half the time. They have always done better with male voices, but it’s worse than ever. And when Alexa does respond, it’s frequently an ad.

Of course, the division famously lost $10bn, and so they must be reducing compute. But the fall has been noticeable.
It would work anywhere, but only with small amounts of current. In Germany the max is set to 800W. Won’t affect the grid much and standard wiring can easily handle 800W flowing „backwards“.

Germany has many rented apartments compared to eg the US. If you own a house, those systems make little sense. But for Germany, where many rent an apartment, it’s attractive for many. And the only way for many to ever profit from solar.
Same in Portugal during this time period, it was almost impossible to buy actual legal software for 8 and 16 bit home computers.

Most shops would have floppies and tapes, with covers that were copied mostly B&W, or a bit more pricy for colour.

With luck you could get some printout copies of the manuals as well, or very least the "copy protection codes".

That's still not what socialism means. Absurdly tight government control over the economy, and the existence of a private market economy, doesn't mean that workers owned the means of production.
Modern CPUs (with all their buffers & caches & predictor warm-ups & spin-ups) can make benchmarking really tricky unless you have a very specific workload in mind and even then it requires care (like looking at both the edge of[1] and full timing distributions[2] for best-case, average/median/typical case, worst case analysis, etc.). Briefly, the number of ways to get (un)lucky has proliferated over the decades, as has the variety of deployment platforms.

Given the depth of that rabbit hole, as writing advice, I might suggest instead motivating via "more space efficient" and refer to exactly fitting fixed-size objects where more general purpose allocators will (usually)¹ waste space to the next power of two. Measuring less dynamic space is also easier (very dynamic space like %cache used can be tricky, though). Controlling scope and pedagogy in general is also tricky, but I think this rhetorical advice is common practice and might also double as a way to address your initial misread of the topic. EDIT: he can always do refinements / more analysis in follow up posts/something if this library has any legs for him.

¹ Sure, fancy any-size allocators can tack on a histogram of maybe somewhat rounded lg sizes (to economize histo space) and spawn fixed-size object sub-arenas if there are enough of them, say >= enough to fill a VMem page or 2, but this is rare in my experience and also complicates the dispatch to subarenas that you mention above to slightly fancier search. This kind of topic rapidly spirals into allocator-complete discussion and even systems-complete - e.g. a filesystem is largely an allocator with good old MS-DOS FAT being close to a "file is a pool of disk blocks" model.
One of the most useful features of the "early" internet, which has been steadily diminished over the last 30 years, is that internet usage was sort of an implicit IQ test. The entire system was "semi-closed".

Now that the internet is available to the entire world, including basically anyone with a pulse, that feature is entirely gone.
I've been considering writing a distributed filesystem which makes shell pipelines easier to share with others (e.g. stronger guarantees that they'll do the same thing when run elsewhere).

Garmin makes solid products but I will say to be prepared for non-intuitive UX across everything. I am only guessing about watches specifically, but having used an InReach and a Zumo XT motorcycle navigator extensively, I will posit that they are much more an engineering culture than a design culture.

My sister-in-law is going back for her masters right now. She did the maximum allowed loans from her FAFSA, so after her tuition and fees were paid, she had enough left over to draw a $300/wk "salary" from the remaining balance. She has to pay her rent and groceries and other bills from that, but she usually has about $100 a month left over for "fun" - if she lived in a cheaper apartment or took out additional loans, she'd have a lot "left over," and this is what a lot of Americans do.
If you under the impression that CI/CD and observability is easy with lambda I have a bridge to sell you. I worked on a large scale pure serverless project we wrote more CDK code than application code.

Why would the calves be kept near the cows?

They’re not gonna feed the milk that their mothers are producing for them, because that would mean less milk to sell and less milk for people to consume.

And so why keep the calves in the milking side of the facility when you can move them to the fattening side for meat/leather or to get them to age so you can forcibly impregnate them every year for their milk, depending on their gender.
Yup, I do this myself just to reduce the number of parts I stock.

I'll try to plan uses for all the pins in advance, like a deluxe version, and then cut down what's needed for the thing I'm doing now. Often I can actually add something useful (like an extra copy of a signal to reduce the need to splice in the harness) at no cost, just by thinking ahead a little.

Another thing I'm proud of recently, is having an uncommitted relay on a board, whose function could then be defined by how the harness was wired. Rather than try to anticipate how it would be used, I just figured it'd be handy. Provided an extra ground too, so you could just put a hairpin wire in the connector to ground one side of the relay since that's a pretty common usage model. And for builds where we knew we wouldn't use it, just DNP at assembly time.

The home ownership rate in my county is 75%, so “landlords and homeowners” is the vast majority of the population, not a “special interest group.”

And your point doesn’t contradict mine. The homeowners in my county are highly informed and conscientious voters, and their decisions are good for most of the people who already live in the county.

I agree in certain circumstances, including land use, you want to make decisions at the state level. But for most government services, like education, policing, local roads, etc., I want Kim who runs our HOA to be voting on who makes those decisions and hassling those officials to keep them accountable.

I see the point of contention now. Though I don't think we're being fooled by LOC's. You can check the commits from the other contributors, and it's all documentation / adding line breaks. It's unfortunately common at universities for CS projects to be spearheaded by one gungho student with the others only tidying things up for in-class presentations.
When you talk to neuroscientists and researchers in private you often find that they are far less confident than public personas, PR, articles, or science reporting, make them sound. A lot of their findings are really more like "huh, that's weird. We should look at this more." What seems like a ton of consensus at cruising altitude is actually much more divisive as you approach ground level. The more recent emergence of the idea that neuroscientists are a kind of "super scientist" of human behavior (all self-help books are now "neuroscience"-based now, for example) has also made them seem much more certain about certain things than they actually are.

To anyone from Proton: It would, perhaps, be a good idea to implement a notice in the app version, giving some form of clue when this happens. It's easy to hit send and carry on, and not realize there's an issue.
