I think that reasoning about things is a good idea and looking at failure modes is an engineers job. However, I gather that the standard says "undefined", so a correct answer to what "happens with this code" might be: "wankery" (on the part of the questioner). You even demonstrate that undefined status with concrete examples.

In another discipline you might ask what happens what happens when you stress a material near to or beyond its plastic limit? It's quite hard to find that limit precisely, without imposing lots of constraints. For example take a small metal thing eg a paper clip and bend it repeatedly. Eventually it will snap due to quite a few effects - work hardening, plastic limit and all that stuff. Your body heat will affect it, along with ambient temperature. That's before we worry about the material itself which a paper clip will be pretty straightforwards ... ish!

OK, let's take a deeper look at that crystalline metallic structure ... or let's see what happens with concrete or concrete with steel in it, ooh let's stress that stuff and bend it in strange ways.

Anyway, my point is: if you have something as simple as a standard that says: "this will go weird if you do it" then accept that fact and move on - don't try to be clever.
The paper is a tool for conveying understanding. Standardized tools are a good thing.

I think they should have been more specific with their wording of the order. It does not specifically say studies or datasets, but it doesn't make it clear that they should be excluded. The actual order:

- Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology.

- Withdraw any final or pending documents, directives, orders, regulations,
materials, forms, communications, statements, and plans that inculcate or promote gender ideology.
I agree, but doesn't that basically mean there are two camps: people who dislike it, and people who don't care? I also agree with GP in that there isn't any visible 3rd camp: people who want it. If google themselves thought people wanted this, they wouldn't need to make an un-dismissable popup in all of their products with one button, "yes please enable gemini for me", in order for people to use it.

I'm sure google thinks that people have some sort of bias, and that if they force people to use it they'll come to like it (just like google plus), but this also shows how much google looks down on the free will of its users.

Somethings never change. Reminds me of this joke from Regan:

Two men, an American and a Russian were arguing. One said,

“in my country I can go to the white house walk to the president's office and pound the desk and say "Mr president! I don't like how you're running things in this country!"

"I can do that too!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I can go to the Kremlin, walk into the general secretary's office and pound the desk and say, Mr. secretary, I don't like how Reagan is running his country!"
The most practical ink bottle ever made was the one for Sheaffer Skrip with the ink reservoir up near the lip. Some other company (don't remember which) also used a bottle with a deep hole in the center of the bottom to help slurp up the last bit of ink.

Who cares? It’s not one unified place they can all congregate.
Not speaking to the specific design choices here, but in C++ moved-from objects are not destroyed and must be valid in their moved-from state (e.g. a sentinel value to indicate they’ve been moved) so that they can be destroyed in the indefinite future. This is useful even though “destroy on move” is the correct semantics for most cases. Making “move” and “destroy” distinct operations increases the flexibility and expressiveness.

A common case where this is useful is if the address space where the object lives is accessible, for read or write, by references exogenous to the process like some kinds of shared memory or hardware DMA. If the object is immediately destroyed on move, it implies the memory can be reused while things your process can’t control may not know you destroyed the object. This is essentially a use-after-free bug factory. Being able to defer destruction to a point in time when you can guarantee this kind of UAF bug is not possible is valuable.
I'm not sure if this is just amazon japan or what, but amazon japan will not only show you things that you didn't search for, it will actively rewrite your search query into a query for those things to gaslight you into thinking you typed it in wrong. And if you try to change the text back it replace it again!

On top of all the other insane choices they made, like removing your search category restrictions if it thinks your query was too precise. I'm close to snapping.
I recently waded into using C# to tinker with video game development using MonoGame, and I have been so surprised by how nice of a language it is to use.

> My immediate thoughts, CodeForces (and competitive programming in general) is a poor proxy for performance on general software engineering task

Yep. A general software engineering task has a lot of information encoded in it that is either already known to a human or is contextually understood by a human.

A competitive programming task often has to provide all the context as it's not based off an existing product or codebase or technology or paradigm known to the user
I think this will really benefit from blog posts!! (ie, why did we design it like this?/what were the alternatives?)

Yes, but in the case of Python, I feel it's a bit more nuanced. Simply having Python installed isn't enough—you also have to manage virtual environments (venv, Poetry, or whatever is popular at the moment). Personally, I find this to be more of an ongoing maintenance burden.

I do acknowledge that .NET has its share of breaking changes from time to time, but in my experience, the friction is significantly lower compared to other environments I’ve worked with.

> PowerShell is built on .NET (in whatever form .NET Framework and .NET/core) lol. It doesn't "share" anything, it _IS_ shell for .NET.

I never said it wasn’t! I was simply speaking from the perspective of the frontend experience. While PowerShell is built on .NET, my point was about how its functionality and design make it feel familiar to those already accustomed to .NET development.
There were vehicle sourcing credits in the Inflation Reduction Act, which are granted per kWh of battery with sufficient domestic mineral content. Was $4,000/vehicle if I recall.
It's either over, or giving a lot of idiots false confidence — I meet people somewhat regularly who believe they don't really need to know what they're doing any more. This is probably an arbitrage.
It will bear out in studies when they start to see whatever results come from giving head injury patients and other at risk groups antivirals to hopefully measurably prevent these conditions from arising
I don't disagree, but there is a reason for the saying 'if you take a shot at the king you had better not miss.' Trump doesn't care if what comes after is right or wrong. Prosecutors can smugly pat themselves on their back while everyone else suffers even more.

noting both physical and legal barriers that make it virtually impossible for Tulare County river water to be used for southern California fires.

Trump doesn't care about legal barriers, but he may be a little more convinced about physical ones.
Depends on the 89 year old. Some are as sharp as a tack, while others don't have a clue where they are let alone what they are currently doing. If you don't understand that, you clearly need to widen the range of people you interact with beyond your day to day experiences thus far in life.

I am in the middle of watching my own parents age, and it is eye opening. We have checks and balances in various systems exactly because there is a wide range of capabilities in the elderly. Where I live it is mandatory for drivers to be tested regularly once they hit 80, or at even earlier ages in the event of an accident or other precipitating event. This can include recommendation by doctors, social workers or even police. This works without needlessly discriminating against individuals.

It's never too late to study physics or mathematics. I would however recommend studying physics since it will force you to study the slices of mathematics that was motivated by necessity. A lot of mathematics is genuinely interesting in and of itself, or results in mysteriously rich structures, but has not necessarily found many applications. A lot of mathematics was in fact motivated and (often sloppily) invented by physicists, before being put on more rigorous footing by mathematicians...

Studying physics without learning math is impossible, but physics results in a curricular selection of math which is highly relevant to machine learning.

When I was in college, we took a hybrid approach. We used a real CPU (6809), but instead of using a real computer (since 6809-based computers were not as common as Z80 or 6502-based ones), we used an educational kit designed and built by the professor who taught the course. This kit could be programmed via the serial console using the built-in debugger (or monitor, as they were called back then).

If you're unable to think of a time, any answer of mine would be moot.
Buying Bitcoin doesn't reduce taxes. It's no different than investing company's cash into a different currency or bonds.

In fact, when Tesla bought Bitcoin accounting rules for Bitcoin were very unfavorable in that the bitcoin wasn't valued at the price in a given quarter but, and it's hard to believe, only at the lowest ever price. So on paper the company could only loose money by holding Bitcoin.

That idiotic rule was part of Democrat's lawfare against Bitcoin.

This accounting rule was changed recently.

Also, Tesla never bought Dodgecoin. That Techcrunch article is just wrong.

Like a penetration test or a security test, you don't know where you're out of compliance until you perform an audit; you don't normally shut down your site in the meantime.

We're getting closer, but for right now - we're not there and you have to be really careful with looking over all the changes.

I work on a project where customers need to fill out a form to receive help. We introduced an AI chat bot to help them do the form by just talking through the problem and answering questions. Then the form is filled out for the customer for them to review before submitting.

It has its place, that place just isn't everywhere and the only option.
