The bike ramp example was insane to me. OF COURSE it's not built so cyclists can zoom up onto the sidewalk at 20 miles per hour without slowing down. That's how you turn a pedestrian into paste.

Really, you should be dismounting and walking your bike onto the sidewalk, but if you're going to ride your bike up that ramp, absolutely do not do it so quickly that you risk crashing.
Absolutely! I was just elaborating on my tastes, didn't mean to come across as disparaging yours.

It seems a step on the path to learning both the Either Monad and the Validation Monad, especially for someone coming from golang which desperately needs a proper Either Monad and essentially has baked in the worst of both imperative and FP worlds in the way everything returns as if there were an Either Monad but not enough useful combinators nor a semblance of do-notation/Computation Expressions exist.

Which is fun to see, really, because it is interesting watching someone rediscover FP principles from first practice.

Microsoft hasn’t forced OEMd to bundle Windows for decades. The fact is hardly anyone wants Linux.

Also a Windows license is actually more or less free to OEMs since they can bundle crapware with it and get paid by third parties.

One of the interesting things that came out of Google's "SRE" system is that they deliberately add outages if they don't have enough. They learned years ago that if you build a service that promises 99% uptime and deliver 99.99% uptime, other people in the company will come to depend on that 99.99% uptime unintentionally. So they chaos-monkey it to ensure that the inevitable failures aren't catastrophic.
I have read the research paper and the energy appears to come mostly from the pump, because the flow of gas and vapor in the device causes contact electrification, which helps the redox reaction.

They have not given any numbers about the energy consumed by the pump, but at least in this experimental devices it is likely that the amount of ammonia that is produced is very small for the energy consumed by the pump, in comparison with other synthesis methods.

For now, the ammonia is produced as a solution in water with very low ammonia concentration. Perhaps this could be usable directly as a fertilizer for plants. For any other uses, concentrating the ammonia produced in this way would require a large amount of additional energy.

In the form presented now, this method of ammonia synthesis would be too inefficient, but the authors hope that the efficiency can be improved some orders of magnitude.
Ammonia is much more caustic, toxic, and explosive than LPG and incidents involving it like the Minot derailment tend to be significantly worse.

I could not agree more with everything you said - it is really on parents largely. if my kid was one causing trouble in school I would 100% consider this my failure. and your idea about sending them home is for sure good in my book - of course this may create additional shitstorm on the kids if the parents are shitty but it is definitely one way I think makes sense to start with.

let's group them together and then find ways to level them up as a cohort I also agree with this but am thinking there has to be time limits etc... everyone should be given a 2nd chance and for kids I think everyone should be given 10th chance :) but both parents and kids have to understand that there are consequences and there are time limits to patience for behaviour correction.

I read it the same way as combative or at least skeptic.

If you say that was not your intent, then you might want to consider your approach.

A common hostile debate tactic is to ask the other person to "bring the receipts", and then pick through them for something to object to. It is akin to saying "prove it", and puts all of the burden on the other person with minimal effort.

In a world where the internet is often combative and full of bad faith actors, you may want to be more specific to distinguish yourself from them. If you have a specific question, ask it directly instead of asking them to provide more and sorting it yourself. You may also want to be clear about intent eg "what other companies are you considering".
The EU economy though is not exactly anything to write home about.
You seem to be doing this in good faith but honestly, there is no difference between 'Discovery Call" and a "Sales Call". The point is that the customer has to speak with someone first. I do think it is required for enterprise deals but the premise of your post seems to say otherwise.

Ammonia is very common in industrial applications.
The sound design is in fact delightful. Nintendo is great at sound design.
Inevitably every term they co-opt from "the left" or "progressives" or "liberals" or "the woke" or what have you just degenerates into vague pejoratives, because they have no philosophy or ideology beyond their hatred and fear of anything or anyone outside of their narrow worldview, nor any capacity to criticize their opponents in good faith, so that invective is all they're capable of expressing.
I must say this take seems a bit... grandiose... to me.

People have been banging on with type systems and similarly "better" capabilities for at least 2 decades [0] and Enterprise continues with a stark preference for language "practicality" and low barrier of entry.

IMO it's because it's best to keep engineers superficially interchangeable rather than having a highly stable system (perhaps stable over spec) and a costly workforce with lots of negotiation leverage. But I digress.

Which is also a gray area. I personally am fine with it for older, depreciated consoles. But I won't emulate current gen games unless I'm also buying the game.. especially on the Nintendo platform where the games still have some "magic" to them, compared to the more generic games on other platforms that prioritize graphics over seemingly all other attributes.
I notice that when I started my software career everything was mostly emails and some text messaging. Then 10 years later, even before the pandemic, everything was a call. These weren't even sales people, but other developers. Its like everybody suddenly became allergic to putting things in writing and when pressed to do so they couldn't.

Yes, there are some advantages to sharing screens. But, being able to communicate with both precision and brevity in writing has its advantages. I strongly believe this skill is what prioritized me for promotion over my peers. It certainly wasn't my work ethic. Hard work is not well valued when somebody who works less hard delivers more.

it's been said many times, it's a national security risk, and it is very obviously one. Tiktok has already gone against the wishes of the US, there's evidence Chinese engineers accessed Tiktok data hosted in the US (related: project Texas).

> It's still an issue that essentially all sites are required* to include a cookie banner of some kind.

Essentially all sites that ship off PII to 3rd party websites or otherwise process PII need to include the cookie banner.

They can also chose not to do those things, yet they do figure it's worth adding a cookie banner instead of changing that practice. So in reality, the websites have themselves to blame here.
I hope I'll be able to pre-order one. I don't even care if they ship it right away. Promise me one within the first 2 or 3 years and I would be happy.

I know I'm going to want one and I know they are going to be snapped up by scalpers and be hard to buy at first. Fine. I just don't want to go through the stupid check Amazon, then GameStop, then BestBuy, then Walmart dance. Just let me order one and then not worry about it.
No problem with gaming & gambling where it’s legal. Lots of problems where 1) it’s illegal; and 2) a customer sets up lots of free accounts to get around local ISP blocks and gets big ranges of our IPs blocked causing significant collateral damage to other customers who share the IPs. In that case we will ask the customer to switch to a solution which requires them to bring their own IP addresses. And because that takes much more bespoke support, we charge for it.
it dominated the market because they seized the 'budget' smartphone market. Back in they hayday everyone dreaded a new android app coming into the shop because of all the absolute shit phones (slow cpus, tiny screens) the client wanted us to support because there were so many in the market (overseas).

Same experience. My friends and local community posts a lot, but facebook will only show me 1 connection for for every 7 rando reels / recommended / sponsored channels (aka ads), not counting the blocks suggesting new friends and such. Maybe 1 post i care about in 10 cards.

Not only that but the friends posts that do show up are shown several days later, meaning that anything like local event, yard sales etc are long wrapped up by the time facebook decides to make me aware of it. And I can't figure out why facebook prioritizes posts from highschool friends over recently added ones which may be more relevant.

Basically I only look at feeds of friend/group posts directly and ignore the main feed which is just the worst useless garbage i can think of.

I am a big proponent of RSS, but I think that it suffers from a lack of imagination these days, for example, the "quality filter" approach mentioned in this article is not very useful imo.

The biggest cost of RSS feed items as a consumer is figuring out whether something is worth reading. A lot of feeds these days don't provide anything useful in the body to make a determination on this, and others just dump the entire contents in the body, which means you're wasting a bunch of time reading N% of something until you realize you're not interested in it and it can be skipped.

In addition to this, RSS feeds tend to be structured to just throw everything at you, regardless of the topics you are interested in.

For a few years I have been publishing my own topic-specific feeds[1] for others to consume where I fill the body with my own personal highlights from the source, with a link through to the source (ie. the things I found interesting, the "hooks" that give a quick signal to a consumer if this might be something they want to invest time in reading). They have a couple of die-hard consumers, but ultimately this really a case of a niche within a niche.

I wish there were more feeds like this for me as a consumer, but unfortunately I get the feeling that this idea will never really become popular enough to catch on widely as RSS becomes less and less relevant to the mainstream.

They’re fish, discovering water for the first time.
This pops up at an interesting time. I'm thinking about starting a business that will require me to sell services to enterprise customers, and I feel much the same way about phone calls. I thought I would just have to get good at it, but maybe there's an opportunity to rethink the base assumptions. If my potential customers would rather have an e-mail exchange, I'd be all for it, so at the very least I can present that option up front.
One helicopter is loud enough to be heard miles away. Imagine the sky full of thousands of these vehicles! This is a nightmare that needs to be nipped in the bud.
Let's put it this way. The fear is someone hiding in the shadows to jump a person, and then dragging the victim back into the shadows.

Bright lights on the street create more shadows. All you have to do is step out of the streetlight and no-one will see you, because the light-level contrast between the lit street and the surrounding space.

If there aren't any streetlights, so the surrounding space has the same illumination as the roadway, then that space is more present in more passerby's visual awareness.

So your proposed solution, "Streelights on every street" actually increases the risk you are so concerned about.

No, it doesn't mean that, because malloc can be replaced at build-time as well. But I agree that interfaces should avoid doing their own allocations and should let the caller dictate it.

Sometimes a company can know the problem is real and be unable to address it. I was at Palm when HP bought us. HP knew the future was mobile and wanted to not be just a low margin OEM for someone else’s software platform. Buying Palm was a way for them to control their own destiny again.

Unfortunately the driver of this dream at HP was fired by the board before it got going and his replacement didn’t share the vision. A year later HP took a massive writedown and turned it all off. (Then he was fired by the board as well. The circle of life continues).
Who works Sunday morning then?

The maintenance window will morph into a do-big-risky-changes window, which means everybody in engineering will have to be on-call. Many years ago, when I newly joined a FAANG, I asked, "shouldn't I run this migration after hours when load is low?" and the response was firm, "No, you'll run it when people are around to fix things". It may not always be the answer, but in general, I want to do maintenance when people are present and willing to respond, not nights and weekends when they're somewhere else and can't be found.

Part of me wants to think that consumers can't possibly that uninformed, but I know in my heart I am wrong.

> Technical staff don't make purchasing decisions anyway.

That isn't true at all, at least not at all companies. And even when the final decision isn't made by technical staff, technical staff often have an influence on the decision unless the procurement process is particularly dysfunctional.
Good. We need brand new defense tech to contain aggressive nations like China.
The entire reason to buy the switch is the first party titles. If you don't like those/Nintendo games, the switch and all switch derivatives aren't going to be for you.
That would explain why search results on Amazon are now indistinguishable with those on AliExpress.
Commonly echoed indeed :)

When would we say this started, year-wise? As in the past, most of the technology/innovation came from Asia and Europe, and it seems not until after computers (or earlier perhaps?) did the US start to catch up with the rest of the world, but haven't really done a deep dive into it.

The comparison to the Titanic was quite fitting. I was with Nokia then, and there was an overly large administration, excessive politics, and far too many managers and meetings for anything to be done on time. If I recall correctly, we spent 1-2 weeks in meetings just to discuss replacing apache with nginx as a web proxy for a less critical service. The actual work for that change would take about 10-15 minutes.

Although they attempted to make improvements, they failed to recognize what Apple understood: ordinary people wanted to walk into a store and purchase a visually appealing phone that was easy to set up and use, everything in 20 minutes max. Nokia had an overwhelming number of models, catering to everyone from older individuals to tech enthusiasts. If you wanted to buy a new phone, you had to be prepared to spend weeks searching for the right model.
>This is not an actual argument because you can make it about anything.

>Like to ski? Your injuries have a societal cost.

>Like to cook? Your inefficient use of energy costs society.

This assumes that fairly standard activities are imposing the societal cost you are attributing to them. For most individuals who perform these activities, they are not producing an outsized societal cost, which is the delineation the parent comment was making. The parent comment used an example of something that from their point of view has a negative societal cost in the base case. Your examples are not similar as they are not referring to the base case of simply performing the activities, but only to the relatively uncommon tail end outcomes.
In NYC at least, the low point of architectural beauty was in the 1960-2000 era. In the past decade or two I think there has been a lot of really quality architecture going up. The current aesthetic issue plaguing the city is the onerous regulations that result in unneeded scaffolding being put up around buildings for months or even years.

I'm playing single player games via Parsec and the latency feels fine. Moonlight is tolerable but Steam streaming feels terrible for some strange reason. This is running two Wifi 6 devices so nothing is even wired. I often use a controller connected to my laptop, or even better use the wireless controller, connect that to the physical device then you bypass the controller latency and only the video has a lag, which is kind of a neat trick if you're close enough to the computer you're streaming from.

The only sorts of games I can't play are things like Binding of Isaac that are super dependent on reaction speeds, but even games like Elden Ring feel fine.
