Very nice. Now start publishing papers which are the result of wild free play.

I had a paper rejected from nature after 5 revisions and two years. It ended up as the top paper ever in a second tier journal. Two extension papers from other groups on areas that we flagged as possible future extensions did make it in Nature last I checked.
Not all of his translations were nowhere near the original. For example, his translation of Guy Ritchie's Snatch was excellent (in my opinion of course) and is still quoted to this day. I'd say it's the only one that absolutely nails it and then some.

On the other hand, his Lord of The Rings was an "alternative" dub as you described. Didn't watch that one though.

The other bit of speculation I've seen for long enough that I can't pin down when it started is if consumer windows is a large enough burden for maintenance, then what potential is there in minimizing that through virtualization, at least for the legacy compatibility. If they're making money through services, do they really care if the underlying OS is full-fat windows, a streamlined windows, or some other OS if they can support external projects doing what they need.

As far as gaming goes, I've wondered for a while how much of a burden it is to maintain directx, along with working with the hardware partners to add/maintain features when they want. With the console side there was some symbiosis, but with their current direction and recent xbox fortunes that also looks like an area they could reduce their ongoing spending to stay relevant.
Heh, I'd give it a try, but I didn't even have time to try it out before it disappeared :)
Current behaviour seems to be a bit random; sometime it will show the tweet (though without replies). sometimes it will redirect to the user's profile (which generally shows a random selection of tweets, _not_ the most recent ones, sometimes it will simply error. Thoroughly broken website.
I just say "no". And if they ask why because "I don't want to." The truth is; I move around a lot and I probably called in on my mobile anyway. But I don't owe anyone a reason. Capitalists tend to have unhealthy wordviews around selfishness and entitlement and expectations on other people. I don't participate in that.

I value my cognitive capacity. Finding the email, joining, adjusting my environment, approving all the prompts, sideloading the app.... just no. Don't be pretentious. My time is valuable.

Get me to the page with a phone number and lets make this easy. Then I can go about my day and we can have this conversation at the same time.

Tangent, but how does that course make anything "more equitable" as per the video?

One of the umich grad school prereqs for economics was linear algebra, and it was literally just that - pure math.
Similar climates and geographies both either have the issue or manage it better.

Greece is a good example of also not managing this properly with its own regular massive fires, while national parks around Cape Town and other parts of South Africa do regular controlled burns in very rocky, hill-y terrain.
> On the other hand, there are N97/N100 machines with 12GB of soldered DDR5 RAM, but they are also actively cooled and their smaller blowers are whinier than their bigger cousins.

Yes, but like I said there are also mini pcs that meet or exceed those specs that don't have any fans nor any coil whine. Of course you need bigger heat sinks when you draw more wattage (or maybe you're fine with some thermal throttling), but even this is quite manageable. I have multiple machines like this that are 100% reliable with zero maintenance.
Yeah pushing or pulling large, according to salesforce, numbers of records is definitely harder than it should be. On the “push” side you have row lock errors and no way to disable APEX based triggers unless you’ve designed that into the code itself. On the pull side, if you’re trying to extract a large number of records and your soql query times out you’re out of luck. SF is good about creating custom indexes for you through a support case but it takes time. Even then, on the order of millions of records it’s still difficult.

My day job is implementing large SF projects. Multi-million record data migrations arent unusual. Even if the data is clean and mapped the migrations take weeks of planning. We go over every inch of the setup to make sure we have the best chance of getting a clean load on try #1. However, we schedule for 3 trial loads and verification before a “go live load” into actual production. Even after all that it’s still an all nighter with contingency plans and c-suite cell numbers on deck.
The author recommends Domain Consolidation however this seems like some bad advice in certain cases due to the browsers max connection limit on domains. At least in http 1.0. or am I mistaken ?
True. Meet always shows you your camera view before you start the call, it would be nice to have two buttons when joining, one with your camera on and one off.

Either way, it would be nice if they put a bit more effort into these things. Video calling could be much nicer for a lot of people with a little bit of effort.
Could they take those risks in a controlled environment? The fact that it's controlled could be hidden. Video games could be a good substitute?
The problem I have is that I want to be generous but I doubt I will still have a career after the age of 55, and I'm scared of being 60 years old and not able to afford health care or a comfortable life, and so I squirrel away as much money as I can now.

Rather than rely on individuals to save everyone else we should be living in a socialist utopia by now. I'd happily pay more tax for that.

But instead we have an incoming Trump / Musk administration and probably WW3 and well you all voted for this so fuck you and your shitty Teslas.
Since LLMs have been a thing, I’ve been heavily involved in the AWS ecosystem and automation.

ChatGPT is well trained on the AWS SDK for various languages. I can usually ask it to do something that would be around up to a 100-200 line Python script and it gets it correct. Especially once it got web search capabilities, I could tell it to “verify Boto3 (the AWS SDK for Python) functions on the web”.

I’ve also used it to convert some of my handwritten AWs SDK based scripts between languages depending on the preferences of the client - C#, Python, JavaScript and Java.

It also does pretty well at converting CloudFormation to idiomatic CDK and Terraform.

I was going into one project to teach the client how to create deployment pipelines for Java based apps to Lambda, EC2 and ECS (AWS’s Docker orchestration service).

I didn’t want to use their code for the proof of concept/MVP. But I did want to deploy a sample Java API. I hadn’t touch Java in over 20 years. I was a C#/Python/Node/(barely) Go developer.

I used ChatGPT to create a sample CRUD API in Java that connected to a database. It worked perfectly. I also asked about proper directory structure.

It didn’t work perfectly with helping me build the Docker container. But it did help.

On another note: it’s not too much of leap to see how Visual Studio or ReSharper could integrate an LLM better and with static language, guarantee that the
code is at least syntactically correct and the functions that are call exist in the standard library or the solution.

They can already do quick, real time warnings and errors if your code won’t compile as you type.
> but I think most spinal injuries are caused by impact or compression from the axis of the spine

Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking something that when expanded, would protect the bottom somehow + the top (maybe helmet is connected to this imaginary "spine protector"), so compressions would be really difficult on that axis.
What is up with that headline???

Thanks for speaking up. The internet talks about getting a lawyer like it’s a magic (and free) button you press to resolve a situation.

It’s not, and in some cases it can turn your problem into a more expensive and protracted different problem if you’re not careful.

I’d be especially cautious around a University that has already proven itself to have bureaucratic people who will turn small issues into threats of expulsion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have legal counsel who is equally overstaffed and itching for something to do.
Sorry but no,

Linux simply isn't ready. Not now, not ever. The year of the "Linux desktop" is always 10 years from now. This is the way it has been the past decades and this is the way it will be because the process (bazaar) can't produce anything better.

I'm a long time Linux user. Been using Linux since Red Hat 7.2, Red Hat, Slackware, Ubuntu and now ArchLinux. Have tried KDE, Gnome, XFCE, Fluxbox and various window managers and environments and the thing is: Linux is always broken somewhere.

Graphics glitches, audio glitches, kernel hangs, suspend/resume being broken etc. Yeah and you can claim "it's not the developers fault when they have no specs". Maybe, but that's just the blame game and doesn't change the fact that it's barely beyond alpha quality after +30 years in development.

Every upgrade that fixes something breaks something else.

This produces a feedback loop where problems like these keep the (desktop) Linux in the marginal users group which means it isn't really a viable target product for developers (talking about drivers etc) which means that it's in the marginal group.

You really need at minimum a stable driver ecosystem with stable driver ABIs but Linus refuses to have that. I understand his reasoning and the benefits but one must ask, has it succeeded in producing a viable operating system that is robust and that works and can support various devices including proper graphics? Is this really the best strategy?

Building a product is HARD and BORING work that has a long tail. When you're "90% done you still need to take care of the other 90%".

Taking a hobbyist weekend project and turning it into a PRODUCT means spending long boring nights fixing those sharp edges and fixing bugs and looking for issues etc. This is work that very few people do in the open source world (due to lack of skills or motivation or whatever), but without this grind the product isn't a product yet but just an alpha demo.

Just have a look at the Wayland debacle and all the various implementations. Everything is "alpha this" "alpha that".

I mean... yeah. the car isn't exactly going fast, and if you get out of the other side then you're on the outside of the circle so you're not really likely to get run over, especially if you just do a little jump rather than rolling on the floor
I was going to say this. Looks awful to me as well. It is the font-family.
You could say that not everyone gets to: have a car, use a computer, have access to quality food, visit a museum, etc and you could argue that that's okay and people should instead live within their means and make sacrifices.
We could also, you know, go the post industrial revolution route and build as much and more of what we need.
Very dense locations such as parts of NYC, Paris, and Tokyo exist and there is a shortage of apartments in these types of spots relative to how many people want to live there. And the areas surrounding, say SF, are mostly suburban. Why not convert these surrounding suburbs to essentially just be more SF - or even more dense and build significant amounts of transit connecting them? Then repeat this for every expensive city in the world, adding a multiple of capacity compared to what we currently have.
I wonder where ChrisArchitect is...

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" - Murphy

"Dubble check that spelIng" - Muphry

Murphy was a rocket engineer. One day their assistant plugged in a non-keyed connector upside down. It was very easy for that to go wrong.

Another time, in another place, a rocket assembly worker hammered in a keyed connector - upside down. It was harder for that to go wrong, but, uh, life finds a way.
I do recall getting a cassette with a ton of games at the newspaper kiosk, and realizing only decades later those were all pirated titles, and wondering how that had happened.

Tutorial: Build a To-Do app in Python with Dash plotly
Hi guys,

Building a To-do app is often a good way to try out a framework or a language.
Here I wanted to showcase that it is possible to create interactive apps in Python only, using Dash plotly.

Dash plotly was created to create data analysis dashboards. But it can be used to create fully interactive apps, for python developers with no frontend skills.

No JS, no need to learn React/Angular/Vue, just simple Python code.

Hope you'll find this interesting,
Oh, I meant on the frontpage. I am quite curious about stuff “popular” enough to make it out of newest and into the top30, but off topic/rulebreaking enough to get nuked (either by mods or by flags).
We've known for at least 30 years that there's money to be made in the long tail. Once you've cornered a niche market you're pretty well set. Most of the market participants are already using your product, people are resistant to change, so there's very little juice to squeeze for a competitor to try and encroach on your market share. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't study these scenarios in business school.
>34% of adults in America did not exercise their right to vote.

Or basically 34% of adults in America exercise their right not to vote. If we force everyone to vote like Australia, may be there should be an option of voting blank?

Basically I believe not voting for something is also a right. It is a vote to say ( may be ) I dislike both parties.

Out of curiosity I decided to look up historical turn out rate [1], and was supervised to learn 2024 has the second highest rate in history, or at least since 1932. Highest was actually last election.

If you can guarantee its always compiled in a separate TU and never inlined, sure, might be a practical way so 'solve' this issue, but if you then do some LTO (or do a unity build or something) the compiler might suddenly break your code.
Another way is to add an inline asm block with "memory" clobber to escape the pointer so the optimizer can't destroy your code.

It's really quite ridiculous that compiler implementers have managed to overzealously nitpick the C standard so that you can't implement a memory allocator in C.
This and similar post are a bulletproof way to start a flame war.

Last time it was generics that were missing, now everyone is raging about sum times and of course explicit error is a topic of constant concern and why panics and not exceptions?

Go is well designed to build good software quickly. Easy dependency handling, good tooling, vast ecosystem.

Go is well designed to help developers with automation and help them catch mistakes, that's why it's easy to parse and all language design decisions take that into account.

It's also designed to produce a lot of code and that requires the language to be easy to understand and programs easy to tweak and that's what it provides, since you'll have a lot of developers tweaking the code.

We're in the industry of shipping different kinds of products and that imposes different constraints and results in different languages being used. Also, different people care about different stuff and languages form clusters of similar minded people around them, that's a choice too.

Have yet to see a case where they didn’t also include the UK and other decidedly none EU states, which makes me think this has little to do with regulation and more trying to manage load during the initial release. Regulation is of course an amazing scape goat, especially if one intended to convince people against any legislation not written by and for the current front runners of the industry.

Actually I am. When I get off of work, I don’t think about work. I am either exercising, hanging out with my family or friends, traveling (I work remotely and I could very well be working during the day and doing something at night in a different city).

This discussion was about creating a business instead of working for someone else.

I bet you that you could make more money by spending your time doing interview prep and changing jobs than you could selling potatoes on the side.
It's the implicit tyranny of building or contributing to public commons owned by corporations beholden to ideological individuals, investors, or advertisers, or to government jurisdictions with particular intrusive laws and policies. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to force a company to maintain publication of content it doesn't want to host... it can simply delete users and content whenever it chooses, but typically doesn't for reasons of goodwill and/or reputation. Youtube deletes millions of people's comments and videos daily because an AI algorithm disagreed with them by virtue of sentiment analysis and decided their combination of words was not allowed. At some point though, people around the world will demand a digital "Bill of Rights", even if the content, processing, and/or publication is happening on the systems of for-profit corporations... it's either that, or enough people must leave forums that have a history of one-sided, unfair, and/or unethical (while maybe legal) practices.
I can't explain myself why they are never mentioned

They're never mentioned in the headline news because they don't stand a chance of winning. But they're actually discussed quite a bit every presidential election, not in terms of if they'll win or not, but if they'll 'take' enough votes from one party to have an effect on a close election.

The Democrats sometimes accuse the Green Party of spoiling their chances by competing for the same voters. This presidential election there was a fair bit of talk about RFK Jr and his presidential run, with lots of speculation that he might take enough votes from Trump to cause the Democrats to win. Republicans are still convinced that the only reason Bill Clinton won was that Ross Perot, a third party candidate who got 19% of the votes, split the Republican vote.
I think there's a few things to consider though:

1. Not all gamers use the features that may be annoying to use on Linux. Anecdotally, only a handful of friends use streaming and most of the time it's to play party games.

2. I think you're understating the impact of the growth of game playability now versus 2013. While the Wine developers deserve unbound praise for their impressive work, I would not say Wine in 2013 was truly viable for gaming. There were wikis with compatibility information but it was a mixed bag. Sometimes newer versions would break what was already working and it's unreasonable to expect volunteers to test every game on every version of Wine. Sometimes you had to copy DLLs from a Windows box and do all sorts of kludges to get things working.

3. Steam puts compatibilty information right next to the game before you buy. It sounds like you can request a refund if it won't run. To me, this gives a lot more confidence in Valve's vision as they're putting their money where their mouth is.

4. Most importantly, the Steam Deck now exists as something you can hold in your hands to see the viability of certain games on SteamOS. Many gamers have heard of the Steam Deck or even know someone who owns one. In 2013 there could be all sorts of hardware compatibility reasons why SteamOS wouldn't work or wouldn't be viable. It was too easy to dismiss before you'd even start touching a game. Now? The Steam Deck standardized the hardware side of the equation so the feasibility conversation starts with game compatibility.
That's pretty sweet.

My suspicion about the many uSD cards I've killed is power issues, power loss, etc. In terms of wear, I don't think a typical Pi would be doing enough to wear them out unless it was being hammered.

That's true, they didn't shut down the factories yet, they are just firing thousands of people and opening up / investing in the US :)
Not discounting larger cultural forces and momentum at play, but I have to wonder how big a role inflated healthcare costs play in parents' level of protectiveness over their young children.

Even adjusted for inflation, a visit to the emergency room for a broken arm or a few stitches is a way different financial proposition today than it was in say 1988 when I was a pre-teen running amok, alone, within a 5 mile radius of home.

I know I have a dollar amount floating in the back of my head when I'm watching my kiddo cavort around in the playground or jumping between big rocks the same way that I did at his age. Is there mortal danger? Not at all.. Buuuuut, is he going to split his lip if he face plants on a leap? How many grand is that going to be, even with insurance? It figures into the mental calculus, even if we can ostensibly afford it. Lots of families probably cannot afford it so well. My family definitely wouldn't have been able to if health care costs were the same in the 80s as they are now.
Low stress company, good profit, (I assume) loyal customers, founder works (much?) less than 40h/week and can quit anytime. Sounds like a good life for the founder. I admire that. Like the book "Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing"
That's a wild oversimplification, it of course applies to state and local governments as well and has for a long time. A public university is a state entity.
Insurers require ember resistant vulcan vents and the like now. It’s a relatively minor upgrade for most homeowners since its just a mesh over the vent.
I've looked multiple times for something like this that I could load onto my nvidia shield, but nothing seems to exist.

There is a tool available for chromecast that works very well, but my ideal solution would be an app I can load onto the shield that auto-mutes during ads and un-mutes when the ads are finished.

If I didn't already have my hands full with side projects, I'd dig into this on my own time.
