> Can you tell me what happens when Palestinians have unfettered access to Israel?

What would happen is that human rights would have been upheld, apartheid would have been dismantled, refugees would have been given access to their former homes, as is their right.

I think I know what you are trying to insinuate here. And that insinuation is quite racist.

A large part of what is now Israel was the home to many Palestinians before they were forcibly removed from there. Forcible relocation of civilian population is a crime against humanity, and those that were displaced, as well as their descendants, have the right to return to their former homes, whether that home is in Israel or Palestine. Denying that right is also a crime against humanity. What happens to the ethno-demographic prospects of the state doing the crime should not be a consideration.
> Iterating instead of throwing out everything with each new version.

I sort of feel like they were trying to fight emulation with a lot of their moves, doing things that were challenging to emulate, like the 3D stuff, or unusual hardware, etc.
Yeah, I always raise an eyebrow at attitudes like that too.

I've also reimplemented or gradually replaced several out-of-date systems. Albeit on a smaller scale.

In my experience, when you start picking the programs apart you find 90% of the code is redundant or boilerplate. Much of it isn't even called from anywhere, abandoned code, and can be deleted en masse. A lot of programmers don't clean code up "just in case" and then no-one else deletes it.

They can also often be vastly simplified because programmers back then didn't have the patterns and knowledge to write consisely.

I often find myself simplifying the original code first, which gets rid of 50% of it. Then I can see what the code actually does and rewrite it which gets rid of the other 40%.

On the other hand, many programmers don't have the patience, stubbornness or skill to do this kind of work.

And the ability to get through the major panic you have when you're half way through and wondering if you were mad to even start.

Ammonia is far to dangerous for cars. Household cleaning ammonia concentrate is 99% water. That is concentrate, you dilute it for use (generally 16:1), and it is still nasty stuff. No car with enough ammonia to use it for energy will be allowed in a tunnel. To work on a car that uses this for fuel will require extreme protective gear - a chemical breathing mask, and protective clothing covering the entire body. Working on machines in such gear is not easy.
A D&B report is not going to tell you everything you need to know about a company and the dynamics and problems it has with respect to the problem space that you and your company deal with.

I mean, you could somehow get access to an entire company's email history and it still won't tell you everything you need to know. Whether people like it not, sometimes direct, high-bandwidth human interaction is required to adequately understand an issue.
I see the example for running a distributed task queue. The docs aren't so clear though for running a distributed workflow, apart from the comment about using a vm id and the admin API.

We use spot instances for most things to keep costs down and job queues to link steps. Can you provide an example of a distributed workflow setup?

Thanks for the flag. As you have probably noticed, I just abort the program a few lines below on realloc failure, so this doesn't leak so much as crash. However, this is a nice example of how fiddly C memory management is.
No blog is worth the hassle and honestly there is always a feed broken somewhere showing up in our reader we just wait for them to fix it. If they don't fix it then at some point it will just get deleted. That is just the reality of maintaining your own feed websites remove feeds sometimes and all you can do is go back see if its changed address and if not remove it.
Of course I know them (actually watched Elephant Man as a kid on the big screen!).

RIP to a legend. I remember renting the world's worst quality VHS tapes of Twin Peaks before the DVD remaster came out, but loving every second of it (excluding the James and Donna duet of course). Coincidentally, I'm on a road trip across the state and made plans to stop at Tweede's for lunch.
I never like the emphasis on genetics and information in a lot of origin of life stuff. IMO it is too extensional; what is needed is good intensional reasoning.

At the heart of chemical life is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocatalysis, this is a great intensional definition of the reproductive side. That just leaves the evolutionary side.

What do "genetics" achieve for reproduction. From the autocatalysis point of view, they create a family of "nearby" autocatalytic sets: because different nucleic acid sequences reproduce in much the same way, the conditions needed to propagate one should also propogate another. This in turn makes safer mutations and....Lamarckian inheritance! If you, a microrganism get a good mutation which makes you fit, and then you split, you pass that mutation on.

Genetics are sufficient for the above properties, but are they necessary? Probably not! We can probably find other things which have such a "dense/smooth mutation space" with fewer local maxima traps. Perhaps it is fine to say such things definitionally encode information, but IMO information still comes second, philosophically.
What's the problem with `reset --hard`?
That work is done by the decorators! They wrap around your functions and store the execution state of your workflows in Postgres, specifically:

- Which workflows are executing

- What their inputs were

- Which steps have completed

- What their outputs were

Here's a reference for the Postgres tables DBOS uses to manage that state: https://docs.dbos.dev/explanations/system-tables

That's true. We have some more ideas for DataFusion in the works, though... Stay tuned!
Based on the images, it is inconceivable that these are from the same run (see the dramatically different levels of TRF-S in each gel. One column/lane = one sample). This isn't something that would be included because of a reviewer - loading controls are required to meaningfully interpret the results (e.g. the data is useless without such a control).
My concern with this is that the joycob being larger won't fit the hands of younger kids anymore. The switch 1 joycon was the only one that allowed reaching the controller buttons and the stick (while held horizontally) for my 3 years old. All other controllers that exist are too big, clearly nobody tested with young children.

And I wish they had names for their arrow buttons, because when held horizontally it makes things very confusing: "press b" what is b?

A lot of feeds are useless, they don't allow you to select more about what you are interested in and they fire a huge amount of content on a daily basis. Those aren't worth following.
"bro", "bruh", it's more of an exclamation of surprise than a title conferred to the person being addressed, but even then, I don't know, people call folks "auntie" and "uncle" who aren't actually their auntie and uncle. language is flexible. it may reference the kind of fraternity between brothers but that feeling is not limited to the male sex.
Sure, but those are totally different economies, geography, and demographics.

Where I live is quite rural, with my county having a population density of ~35 people/mile^2 (or ~13.5 people/km^2). Median income here is low relative to most of the US, but not compared to Europe.
Nah, what you do is you add this feature for everyone, unless it doesn't make sense
I do wonder how AI changes this.

I think for a long time, if you genuinely wanted to have a large organizational impact, eventually you needed to go into management. One person can only do so much.

Ignoring bureaucracy and organizational constraints (probably far fetched), a single individual might be accomplish to do 10x more in the near future. Especially since a individuals will always move significantly faster than all the coordination that comes with managing a team. Maybe middle management becomes less relevant as a result?
This framing only highlights either

A. Sony has an amazing marketing strategy where they can paint their #1 competitor as not even a competitor.

B. Xbox has a terrible product direction, where they are trying (failing) to beat Sony at being Sony instead of looking at the gaming industry and trying to create a product people want.
Author here. Quite so. See footnote 3:https://educatedguesswork.org/posts/memory-management-1/#fn3

"If you know you're going to be doing a lot of reallocation like this, many people will themselves overallocate, for instance by doubling the size of the buffer every time they are asked for more space than is available, thus reducing the number of times they need to actually reallocate. I've avoided this kind of trickery to keep this example simple."
Because your are redirected to one.one.one.one via the location header and 301 status code from the ip address.

http://1.1.1.1 redirects to https://1.1.1.1 which then redirects to https://one.one.one.one

but the TLS cert on https://1.1.1.1 (or https://[2606:4700:4700::1111] on ipv6) is still valid for the ipaddress otherwise your browser would put up a warning during the tls handshake.

Makes sense, for disaster response and logistics at scale.

On a small and local scale, such as for refugees who're being helped getting settled in your city, reportedly sometimes clothing donations is what they want.

A few/several years ago, someone (who I knew to be genuine, and especially savvy about societal issues) asked for clothing donations, for a refugee support group. They had specs for kinds and sizes they needed.

So I asked the person if the people wouldn't rather have money donations, so they could go to the stores in town, and buy whatever clothes best met their needs and preferences. But there was some problem, maybe the logistics of getting them to the stores(?), and they really did want clothing donations.

The helpers seemed to be serious about it, and followed through. I happened to have some new ordinary clothes that didn't fit me well, and the helpers even came and picked up them up.
> React very much feels like programming using only side-effects and that’s not really a fun experience IMHO.

This is interesting and I like the way you've phrased it. Are you talking about React Native, or React in general? And do you use hooks?

I like React on the web, but only when using hooks and only because I haven't found anything that I like more than it. I still find it tedious and overly hook-y¹. It also gives a lot of wiggle room for devs to shoot themselves in the foot with useEffect, like some of my previous clients have done.

¹ Hold on, I gotta pull in 18 hooks from across my project, npm dependencies and react itself before I can write the jsx in what would otherwise be a 10-15 line fooButton function.
“Democracy drowns in dollars” seems sadly more accurate
Agree. My biggest pain point with LLM code review tools is that they sometimes add 40 comments for a PR changing 100 lines of code. Gets noisy and hard to decipher what really matters.

Along the lines of verifiability, my take is that running a comprehensive suite of tests in CI/CD is going to be table stakes soon given that LLMs are only going to be contributing more and more code.

I don’t know why it seems weird to me that people would engage in wordplay like rebus writing in the 18th century. Maybe because most of the literature we’re exposed to from that era is fairly formal and stuffy.
I don't believe anyone is accusing the government of merely "being involved in decision making at ByteDance." After all, many governments, including that of the United States, have some degree of involvement in the decision making of various companies at some level, and such a banal statement wouldn't warrant the paranoia or hyperbole surrounding TikTok.

People were accusing the CCP of using TikTok as a propaganda platform (despite the lack of any real supporting evidence other than a prevailing belief that there must be nefarious intent behind any Chinese owned product) and are now accusing the CCP of also having brainwashed Americans to move to another even more sinister app where I guess they get a dose of the super propaganda?

I mean, that isn't how real governments operate, it's how comic book supervillains operate.
> The killer feature of the iPod was the iTunes music store.

That wasn't launched until 2003, two years after the iPod, and it took a while for all the big music labels to sign on. (Hell, it took until 2010 for the Beatles to show up.) The iPod was a success even without the music store; while it wasn't the only portable digital music player on the market, or even the first, it was the first good one.
You can't programatically detect novel BS any more than you can programatically detect viruses or spam. You can only add the fingerprints of known badness into an ever-growing database. Viruses and spam are antagonistic to well-resourced institutions, and their databases get maintained reasonably well. LLM slop is being generated by those same well-resourced institutions. I don't think it fits into the same category as Nepenthes.
If clothing is needed in a disaster situation, I don't see how a new retail sweatshirt and jeans would be much more impactful than a used sweatshirt and jeans, given people have enough sense to not donate clothing with non-cosmetic issues - i.e. faded ok; rips/holes not ok).

Furthermore, if you have some money to spend on the effort, buying new cloths is a really poor choice among the options for spending it, for all the reasons they mentioned: organizations on the ground know what items and quantities are needed, often buy in bulk with discounts and, if possible, purchase through businesses local to the disaster, which supports economic recovery.

I'm no fan of the company itself, but I've been too pleased with the service to really want to switch.

About a year ago I needed a SIM for an (older) Android phone for my daughter, who didn't need a capable smartphone or anything. They sent me one, but when I activated it over the phone the CS rep made a mistake and it ended up blacklisted. I told them I was activating it because my daughter was going on a trip in a couple of days, and they escalated it. I ended up with an AT&T employee driving 1.5 hours to my house to hand-deliver a new SIM and make sure the phone was activated and working the next day. In addition, they gave me a $500 bill credit without prompting at all.

So... yeah. It's not ideal, but I honestly feel like I'm getting what I'm paying for.

Knowledgeableness is not linearly-ordered. A Python 3 expert can mentor a Pythonidae expert, and vice versa.

Mentoring isn’t just about time; it’s a mental investment. The few people I mentor often come to mind frequently. I reflect on our conversations, even though the actual time spent talking is minimal. I take it very seriously and genuinely feel their progress as my own.

I don’t think I could mentor even 10 people without failing. You have to genuinely care about their progress.

Perhaps the author means coaching. That’s scalable. Teach people how to do something you’ve successfully done repeatedly. That’s something I could do even for groups.

Slogans are _usually_ just for branding anyways. However, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is a riveting, iconic statement, and moving away from it is almost certainly weakening the existing brand significantly. I don’t think companies generally weaken their brand like this just because of new presidents, so I feel that this sacrifice actually does indicate a real change in the paper’s direction :/.

Selfishly I’m sad that “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was perceived to be too liberal, it’s so grizzled and brooding, like something Rorschach from “Watchmen” would say. It was so cool.
I consider phrases like

> It's just good to be humble. End of story.

to be axiomatic declarations. My issue with these kind of axioms is they're not really necessary. You can get everything useful by only considering things that are good for somebody. Now, we don't live in a perfectly informed and rational society, so it can be good (for society) to indoctrinate everyone with this axiom. But, as with all axioms, not everyone will believe in them. So, if I'm told,

"You need to be more humble, it's a virtue,"

that's begging the question! I need some external reason to either adopt the axiom or humility. Society as a whole seems to have adopted this axiom, but why is that? There was probably an evolution of axioms, where ones that didn't work got rejected, while ones that mostly worked got inculcated. I think most people overestimate their abilities, which would lead to fighting over positional goods. I think the role of the humility axiom is to prevent such fighting, but it comes with drawbacks.

Since the Enlightenment, most wealth has been created by thinking really hard. This means you really want to rank people near the top accurately, so you can give them resources to go and create their ideas. The axiom of humility regresses everyone toward the mean—which is great when the GDP is measured in bushels, but not so great when it is measured in transistors.
