I would argue KanePixels (Kane Parsons) is doing the Indie filmmaker thing very successfully on YouTube. He went from creating a viral hit with his interpretation of The Backrooms, signed a deal with A24, and has continued releasing his own horror short films in the interim. The format isn't the standard 90-120 minutes of most studio movies but his longest videos are nearly an hour long and with each narrative spread across several videos, stitching the whole thing together would look something like a conventional film

I was on the fence about this one. Yes, it's totally useful, but I swore after writing my comprehensive C guide I would never write a comprehensive guide again. :) So I try to decide where to cut people loose to use other resources once they have the foundation.

All that said, they are really useful. And, honestly, the chapter would be pretty short to get basic usage down... but also if you've gotten as far as grokking how branches work, it's pretty easy to pick up worktrees. The fact that lots of people don't know they exist is points for adding it just for that reason alone.

I'll mull it over. :) Cheers!
No. Flexibility is a side effect. Sometimes it's a useful side effect, other times it bites you in the ass.

I agree that it seems likely that the weird questions and their weighting came from over-fitting as you describe. The cheating allegation though, from my reading, is that the "correct" answers were leaked and then disseminated by the leakee(s). (And that this was particularly impactful because it was unlikely that you would pass the overfit test otherwise.)
I think this is a good summary: https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-developer-goog-blog-asse...
Bush W is one of only ~10 US presidents to have an advanced degree. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_Un...

It's a mistake to ignore facts because they're inconvenient to what we want to believe.

And thinking Trump only won 2 elections because of other people is an difficult fit with reality.

Just because you or I dislike someone doesn't mean we should discount them.
I feel as though some of the rigour of systems engineering is missing from AI model development/integration. Not a negative per-se, as velocity is incredibly important: But it seems a lot of lessons have to be learned again.

I sometimes forget - it is still very early days relatively speaking.

As a user of Gemini 2.0, so far I have been very impressed for the most part.
I don't know what those "needle in haystack" benchmarks are testing for because in my experience dumping a big amount of code in the context is not working as you'd expect. It works better if you keep the context small
What, the cabinet? :P

But seriously, even last time, with 2016's MAGA slogans including "drain the swamp", there's a gap between "great but we could be better if not for them" and the implicit absent greatness of the initials forming MAGA.
I'd argue that's a poor way to say that, because "managing" complexity tends to mean "taming" or dealing with complexity in a good way.
I happen to like the way Go did it, but now that generics and iterators have landed, it should be possible to create an always-make-a-copy vector type (although it'll need to use `get` and `set` like Java Lists, not [42] like slices/arrays).

It's not like you could have appended twice to the same List in Java and expected to get two disjoint arrays, unless you copy first, and `slices.Clone()` makes that easy in Go now too.
My experience is the opposite, I've only met incredibly friendly and helpful people within the functional world.

Your description of a person who has to put down everyone else in other to raise himself up, is just person with such low self-esteem that it's become toxic. You'll find these people everywhere, it's not exclusive to FP.

I'm personally fairly rigid about implementing business logic as functionally as possible, but I also enjoy game development which is inherently stateful and never without some imperative parts. I do think FP has some advantages over Imperative programming in many instances, but the opposite is also true, and I'd never pretend to be smarter or better than someone like John Carmack, who's made his career almost exclusively in Imperative languages.
These mostly align with the idea of reducing code entropy: https://benoitessiambre.com/entropy.html
I get that the real issue isn't just YouTube, but that no other horror film, or otherwise, has really matched Blair Witch Project's combination of impact, marketing success, micro-budget, and cultural phenomenon.

I just speculate that if Blair Witch Project were made today, it would likely debut on a platform like YouTube before gaining wider recognition.
DEI: Diversity Equity Inclusion

Diversity of race (encouraging racism), equity of income (encouraging envy), inclusion of "the marginalized" (discouraging free association)

Except, as a government program, this turns from mere encouragement to forcing the issues, under threat of fines, imprisonment, and ultimately death.

In the words of famous actor Morgan Freeman; "If you want to end racism, stop talking about it." (1)

We are happy for anyone with the right to work in the UK to join, as we follow a hybrid work model in our London office :)
Why this amorphous "the government" wording? The people elected Congress and Presidents, who did this over decades with popular support.
Executive agencies are not unaccountable. They have specific charters and there is a huge volume of rules they have to follow. eg:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_Procedure_Act). Congress writes their budgets every year and the heads of those agencies are reviewed at congressional and presidential levels.
>including instead of excluding people who have traditionally been shut out

I think that is the crux of the issue right there. It's taken as a "sky-is-blue" level fact that everyone is equal in all regards, and therefore any inequality in outcome is a function of bigoted policy at some level. This is despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary, which kind of elevates DEI to an ideological position rather than a logical one, and arguably undermines the confidence of people who would ostensibly be considered "DEI Hires".

Companies have largely side-stepped this however, because underneath it all, they still want the most productive workers, regardless of their labels. So they implement a farcical DEI to keep up appearances, while still allowing hiring of whoever is deemed the most productive for a team.
Julia uses LLVM for its jit architecture, if I recall correctly.

That makes it a good candidate for running well on ARM platforms (think embedded data processing at the edge).

Not sure how well fortran does on ARM.

In in the same situation, as an Estonian e-resident, I have to rely on the Estonian smartcard software and went with Ubuntu on my work machine. The default experience has more bugs than I've ever encountered with Fedora: update center couldn't update itself but was nagging me about needing an update (a snap package classic), a constant crash popup error after login due to some funky component, some Gnome specific issues that I don't even care to remember (switched to KDE in less than a day).

OP should be aware that using Fedora while relying on DigiDoc is a gamble. It breaks almost every year on Fedora (since 2021 when I've started using it). Last big one I remeber is when DigiDoc devs made some major breaking change right before the deadline for submitting the annual report, and I had to scramble to work around it. Thanks to some Fedora community member that made a copr with fixes ahead of the distribution package.

Now I'm in the posture where I run Ubuntu for the software support, and development inside a Fedora VM.

Also, the smartcard software works with Ubuntu's snap Firefox package, you just need to restart the computer, for some reason to have it picked up.
Creating and running a (direct to consumer) profitable streaming service takes a lot more than just “infrastructure”.
Powerful tools have powerful consequences, case in point: with `rm` you're always one mistake away from blowing away large parts of your work.
I'm not sure you appreciate how small "billions of user records" is for Google.
For youtube, you can put the video in theater mode, which makes the video the full width of your window, and pushes recommendations down below it. With this I only ever see recommendations at the end of the video.

As a general solution for us techies, you can have user defined style sheets that selectively override the site's CSS, either using a plugin like Stylus, or Firefox's built-in userContent.css. Inspect the website, find the id name (or class if it is unique enough) for the content you want to go away and put the following in your user CSS.

#<id> {
display: hidden;
}

I have so many of these. There is some upkeep with redesign, and for some sites with high churn I've given up, but in general it makes the web much more tolerable.
Sure, but that's not really what the quote says, it doesn't talk about making things more complicated than they really are, it just talks about "complexity."

This depends upon the disability and what reasonable accommodations could be made.
This war was over around about the time I started, but my take on it is that it's all a bit intermixed and Mercurial lost because bitbucket caved and did git hosting [2], but git won beacuse of github and heroku [1][2]

Can anyone elaborate how does one do that? I have seen this advice many many times but never anything actionable attached to it.

I believe my soft skills are my biggest weak point right now and is holding me from growing further in my career and I would like to do something about it. But I have no idea how.

Wow, talk about an amazing deal if you already happened to be planning on leaving...
I'm guessing someone pasted from what went into the print edition. Or Bjarne himself.

It's just the first code snippet that's messed up. The rest is merely wonky.
In my experience, people who use Intellij family of IDEs have very limited understanding of how anything in their computers work. They are hired to "write Java" or something similar, and beside "writing Java" they know virtually nothing and aren't expected to know anything.

I used to work for a large company in the ops department, where a significant portion of my day was spent walking between cubicles and fixing the dev. environment of Intellij IDE programmers. Most of them didn't even know how to find the project they worked on in the filesystem w/o using their editor. The tantalizing task of opening a file with unknown extension was way too much to ask etc.

They would often mess up something in the version control too, using Intellij integration tools, which are really, really bad. But, I don't know whom to blame in this instance. Both the user and the tool were of extremely low quality.

So, if, eg. their Maven build had some sort of an interaction with Git, and they messed up something in their local repository, all work would come to a grinding halt, because they had no idea how to even begin to understand what went wrong.

It's a kind of job where you begin to lose faith in humanity very quickly :D

Yeah and that is their point. And it's actually highly problematic just how much discount the large giants get on traffic - it effectively blocks any competitors not backed by some very deep pockets.
Reformatting comitts still leaves the issue that you deprive yourself of any possibility to reliably diff across such commits (what changes from there to there?) Or attribute a line of code to a specific change (why did we introduce this code?).

What we should have instead is syntax-aware diffs that can ignore meaningless changes like curly braces moving into another line or lines getting wrapped for reasons.

They are, this is supposedly part of the "Nexgen" air traffic system. I think eventually airlines will be forced into greater automation. When a possible collision scenario arises, the plane will take over and evade on it's own. Airplanes will increasingly become automated and pilots wait for emergencies.
You're right that typically the day to day delta we need to sync is much smaller. However, customers often want to change something for a large fraction of their dataset, requiring a large update. Also we support a our Personalization API product, for which customers do frequently want to refresh what personalizations they're showing to all of their users. For this we do need to be regularly syncing all the data.

Exactly this. There are three main differences:

1. The margins are offset in two-sided, alternating pages.
2. The page numbers are justified alternately left and right in two-sided, and the page header differs left and right.
3. Sometimes a blank page is injected with two-sided to make a chapter start on the correct side of the book.
> I would perhaps have expected that email to include some kind of "message from seller: / company: " type subject to at least identify it as such.

This is the real/root issue. I've seen a few of these and the email itself contains no identifying information which increases the phishing risk/suspicion substantially. Both PayPal, and some banks still send emails with buttons like "confirm your account" - it's wild.
Well, it says "No HomerS" We're allowed to have one.
> Snaps completely turned me off it

Yep, this turned me off from Ubuntu as well. Pop!_OS fully removed snaps, which is great, but man they're behind the times.

kde-neon fixes a lot of the problems I have with the UX of Ubuntu, but KDE is getting weirder and weirder, and (for me, specifically with zoom) is still behind other WMs in its Wayland support. Looking at this point to go back to a tiling WM like sway on top of kde-neon, which is so weird to say.
at least on the first one there was really only one way it could have happened under reasonable assumptions (mainly, that the white queen had just been taken). I'm not sure it works very well for the Wordle format, although it is fun as a puzzle otherwise.

Hunting by comparison has a vastly better ROI if you want some food independence.
> Git is complicated _beacuse_ of this

Right, but since git specifically was made for usage without decentralized servers, that complexity isn't accidental, it's purposeful as without serving that particular use case, git isn't really git anymore. Most design decisions in git comes from having to serve that use case, for better or worse.

> . It's _so_ much simpler - because it's centralized

Right, but that's also a poor comparison. A bit like saying that `mv` is much simpler than `rsync` because `mv` always move files locally. Yeah, that's true, but the entire point of `rsync` is to do remote sends/receives, so compared it to something that cannot, kind of ruins the comparison.

At a finer grain than general "permission", a lot of the issue is with the music. For many pre-streaming movies, the original soundtrack will have been licensed in a way that supported resale but didn't foresee streaming. Making those movies available for streaming would involve tracking down the copyright holders for every piece of music (often the estates or successors of the original composer, but often non-determinate) and renegotiating a licensing deal.

Although I love Arch and use it on my main laptop, if you’re like me and you have a closet full of geriatric thinkpads, Debian is great. The one thing Arch / pacman struggles with is long intervals between updates, so if I boot a machine every three months, I’d rather have an OS in a state that was planned to persist for years.
They're not being dumped. Putting them on YT lets WB make passive money while maintaining control of their rights with little effort on their part. If WB makes a better deal down the road, they can hide or delete the movies from YT.

This also makes some of the movies more valuable by revealing hidden demand. WB will see their YT stats for their films and see where future investments or licensing deals may pay off. A streaming company is disincentivized to tell the movie owner how the film is doing.
> Your advice really seems tailored to you and no one else.

not at all. yes I have specific needs in a partner but there are plenty of women in colmobia, mexico and elsewhere that would be happy to live in the united states and start a family. my partner and I discussed it and she's happy to do so when the time is right. She's young enough that we have plenty of time.

by all means, if you like the attitudes of american women, go for it. but if you're a good guy and jsut can't seem to be valued by them, I also suggest getting out of the country and seeing what you can find. even if things dont work with my partner, I personally would never date another american woman. I wont say why because I would rather not get downvoted.

Mint is great, served me well for many years. Never had an issue. With Debian I would mess things up if I messed with something I should not be touching. There are faster options but it requires more maintenance. Mint gets out of your way and just works.
Right, so for the folks at home who already know and use `git checkout`, no switch needed (no pun intended) as everything already works fine and probably won't be deprecated in the near future.
I think the sweet spot is to include some context that is limited to the scope of the problem and benefit from the longer context window to keep longer conversations going.
