I said you should reread it becuase you said “this is how the executive branch works” and the link shows that it is indeed not how it works since Elon does not have the consent of the Senate and his position was not established by Congress or the Constitution. It was a polite way of saying you are wrong.

Just because it has no precedence does not unconstitutional it make.

Of course not. I did not say or imply otherwise. I said much of our system relies on following political norms. For example, it would have been perfectly Constitional for the last Congress to have removed the entire Supreme Court and replaced the justices. Such a constitutionally valid move would have had very bad implications.
EbookDownloader: A tool to download purchased e-books from different publishers
Most of what I've learned has come from PG docs and various blogs on "we found this crazy thing costing us 100x memory/processing/response time/etc"

But there is a great book on the internals (very long, in depth, but not unreadable if you have a good foundation already) - https://edu.postgrespro.com/postgresql_internals-14_en.pdf

They probably have newer versions, this is just what's in my bookmarks
Toyota could probably make a profitable EV by just taking their Prius and RAV4 PHEVs and omitting the ICE engine and using that space for more batteries, replacing the charger with one that can handle higher power, and tweaking the software.
With Web Assembly you can write in any language, even C++.

We don't? Maybe you don't. From where I am (France), maoists, stalinists, mussolinists, napoleonics or confederates are pretty badly considered, maybe only considered weird and silly as long as they are just spouting vague theory stuff or giving some substance to the conversation.

But as soon as they associate their "thing" to a violent/segregationist personality/behaviour, you can be certain that they are banned, and in no gentle manners.

Wow, I don't know either. Saying nazis could be sort of boogeyman or victims?... that tolerating nazis would be liberal? Wow. Sounds like a line from "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies".

You seem not to understand how a society works or what liberal even means... A liberal cannot tolerate ideas that are explicitly against tolerance, as those lead to illiberal behaviours. The best illustration of it is the actual suppression of speech that is happening in the USA, by the very people that reclaimed freedom of speech.

Or again, you do know.

Either way, you're certainly not in the middle, you're actually supporting the violent ones to be violent, asking the ones reacting to that violence to accept it as it is. Not too good looking.
I do think that the `SOA` struct modifier keyword is maybe the most interesting thing out of Jai. Other languages would do well to think about adopting a mechanism to support something like it.
I really liked Shoup's book. It contains a lot of practical advice what causes issues with parking, lays out bad designs that promote parking issues, talks through how to resolve these issues, and even covers how to sell it in a way that encourages people to buy into it.

> San Francisco formally adopted demand-based pricing for curb parking in 2017.

> The result was a rare win for San Francisco governance: We know from pilot areas that implementing demand-based pricing reduced congestion and parking citations while speeding up transit and increasing overall sales tax revenue. The program is now widely regarded as a model for parking management.

The SFpark program was by all accounts a huge success, and the areas where it was implemented feel a lot better off - you can actually find parking when you need it, and traffic isn't as bad there. I would love to see it put in place in the Sunset and Richmond - those areas are almost entirely free parking, and have the worst parking in the city.
Tesla is going down the drain, at least in Europe, unless shareholders evict Musk. Nothing iPhone-like with that brand anymore.
All this "AI safety" is purely moat-building for the likes of OpenAI et. al. to prevent upstarts like DeepSeek.

LLMs will not get us to AGI. Not even close. Altman talking about this danger is like Musk talking about driverless taxis.

The problem is, big-O doesn't use the word-RAM model mentioned in the comment. That's something you have to bolt on to the get the O(1) hashtable result. Which is the very point I was making originally, that you have to go outside standard big-O and incorporate practical considerations, which isn't done anywhere else as a matter of course.

Most people who want the 4060 Ti 16GB is because they want the 16GB for running LLMs. So yes, they really want that extra 5GB.

I'm actually tempted, but I don't know if I should go for a Mac Studio M1 Max 64GB for $1350 (ebay) or build a PC around a GPU. I think the Mac makes a lot of sense.
> Let’s not make shit up

Calm your horses.

> First of all, it’s Russia who invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.

Yes, and we couped Ukraine before that.

> Weapons are sent to Ukraine so Ukraine can defend itself against the invasion. That Russians are killed from these weapons, duh…

You seem to be conveniently forgetting the fact that Ukraine was neither in EU nor NATO, nor in any military alliance with a western country. Thus sending weapons to Ukraine is a direct act of hostility to Russia.

Imagine what would've happened if Russia aided Afghanistan or Iraq with weapons and intelligence when the US invaded. Be intellectually honest.
One of the more insidious ways to ensure street parking is by permitting - only residents can park in a neighborhood. Public costs, private benefits.
I know you are being sarcastic but 3G antennas in the US were only just recently shut down. 20~ years isn't bad for how rapidly tech advancement has been happening in the recent decades. Obviously AM and FM radio have been continuing for far longer than that but there are legal and logistical reasons for that, at least for now.
Tips for increasing your privacy from security experts
Also: the way I discovered this was that one of the directories was the shared directory for my website blog (both source and target static-site generated files), and from my Linux machine I had r-synced that to my remote web server, and noticed bots had found these .DS_Store files in most directories of my website, which included (due to the .DS_Store files) unlinked files which the crawlers wouldn't have found if not for the .DS_Store files.

So I was then getting 200 HTTP requests on the .DS_Store files and I noticed that in my server logs, and then it occurred to me how they had got there (via Syncthing, and me not noticing them locally on the Linux machines until I looked for them and found them).
Dude, you are literally upset, and I’m just paraphrasing what you said) about Western „coup” (as you refer to Maidan) spoiling Russian coup (installing a puppet leader to drag Ukraine away from EU). Who are you, a Russian agent?

I wish I could write a better response but my wife has her periodic pet-scan in 1hr. Those scan always leave me paralyzed with fear of recurrence of the metastatic breast cancer she has. it's probably off topic so sorry internet strangers but writing it brings a little relief.

Polite data viz recommendation: don't use black gridlines in your tables. Make them a light gray. The gridlines do provide information (the organization of the data), but the more important information is the values. I'd also right align the drive failures so you can scan/compare consistently.
>What are your opinions on zoning and re-zoning?

Burn it all!

Anything that matters is already regulated at the state level if not permitted there too. Basically nothing even slightly controversial isn't permitted locally. We could just get rid of basically all zoning and it would be mostly fine. Nobody wants to put a toxic waste processing plant or strip club in a classy neighborhood anyway because those people make poor neighbors for such an operation.
Performance is one problem, but much worse are the countless bugs which plague the last releases.
Very language dependent. Long build times mean you may need a debugger. Debugging prints make you think harder in advance and can actually force you to structure your code with greater clarity. The fact that you have to understand what they mean across two different contexts, writing and running, slows things down but also improves your mental picture of the codebase. Debugging prints don’t get enough credit.
Indeed. Software can be written like math. 1 + 1 = 2, holds true for now and for all time, past and present.

A SaaS for something creative, sure. But a SaaS that deals with any kind of data, of course not, because you can't productize "we operate on your data but you can't trust the outputs lmao".
There probably are. The real question is why are they not successful. Maybe they need to solve distribution. I use Google Calendar tasks for todos because it is there, handy, for example.

As sister comments have said there is no money in it. They are stickiness plays or just bets for Google.
> automatically rephrased an original text - something like the Encyclopaedia Britannica - to preserve the meaning but not have identical phrasing

Note that it's very hard to do this starting from a single source, because in order to be safe from any copyright concern you'd have to only preserve the bare "idea" and everything else in your text must be independent. But LLM's seem to be able to get around this by looking at many sources that are all talking about the same facts and ideas in very different ways, and then successfully generalizing "out of sample" to a different expression of the same ideas.
> If I live in single family housing that is adjacent to a business district and I have no driveway then street parking can be pretty efficient.

You are the one who chose the house. if you have a single family house with no driveway you self selected to not having a car. its not the other citizens in the city who forced you to buy that house and then buy a car where you had nowhere to park it. Even if there was adequate parking before and now there isn't, what gives you perpetual rights to a shared resource?

Why should other people in the city suffer for your lack of foresight?
Like when we used to encode the phone numbers of warez boards in GIFs.
Advocating for digital rights is political activism, and privacy is part of your digital rights. This is perfectly in line with the EFF's mission.
1ms to the cell tower. Even on fiber Internet there’s still single digit ms latency to servers in the same metro area. Only T-Mobile has deployed 5G SA (standalone). ATT and Verizon use 5G NSA (non standalone) which is a 4G control channel bonded with 5G channels so it has 4G latency.
Japanese carmakers are going to become irrelevant [1] unless there's a major change. But that's very unlikely due to:

1. Supply chains and key raw materials mostly controlled by China
2. Japan's demographic collapse
3. Japanese Gen Z fed up with an unwinnable rat race where they live to just pay rent and groceries

It's very sad.

The EFF has been suing the government to protect people's privacy for decades. How is suing the NSA over data collection any less political activism then suing DOGE over data collection? The only difference is that you like the people they're suing.
I have no horse in this race but it seems to me that you're not understanding their point. JJ has a different workflow that doesn't have a concept of a staging area, for one. The fact that you don't need to make a WIP commit may not be a game-changer for you, but it demonstrates that the abstractions it provides more accurately represent the "editing a previous commit" workflow. If that's not useful to you, fine. But I think it's valuable to have tools that 1) integrate into existing (git-based) systems with low friction and 2) provide abstractions more suitable for the work I tend to do on a daily basis.
This administration’s spending priorities are absurd.

I built a tool to analyze app reviews–does this solve a real problem?
I recently built a tool that automatically analyzes App Store & Google Play reviews using AI. It extracts key pain points, categorizes feedback, and performs sentiment analysis—saving time for PMs and devs who usually sift through thousands of comments manually.
The idea came from my own frustration working with app feedback—it's often scattered, time-consuming to process, and difficult to turn into actionable insights.
Would love to hear thoughts from this community:
Do you think this is a real pain point?
How do you currently analyze app reviews?
What would make such a tool useful for you?
The tool is still in early testing, https://insightly.top
Looking forward to feedback!
That's a good way to look at it. What we leave behind may not necessarily accomplish anything in our lifetime, or help anyone ever, but we still have to consider the quality of the content, which speaks to our character.
1. I broadly agree with your points, especially with your points on the regulatory burden. I also agree that it's much harder to win a fractured EU market than a single market. Here we can point to US startups that struggle to win individual markets in the EU despite having already won in the US. The most striking difference I see is how badly US founders want to win. When a EU founder makes a few million they think they've hit the jackpot. The EU founder will take the early exit almost every time. EU founders are unwilling to do what it takes to scale up. I'm generalizing for clarity here, but I think this broad difference in mentality is key.

2. Apple made 35 billion last quarter. The best EU tech companies make maybe 3 billion. A 10x difference. European tech is nowhere to be seen on this list: https://www.financecharts.com/screener/most-profitable. There are no EU winners of any vintage on the global stage. It's true that Europe's large cap businesses do about as well as their US counterparts, but mega caps don't exist. Is it fair to compare Europe's biggest winners to the runner-ups in the US?

Encryption doesn't need to last forever, just long enough to be scrutinized. Once a trusted individual is convinced that a certain camera took this picture at this time and location, then that authentication is forever. Maybe that trust only includes devices built in the past 5 years, as hacks and bugs are fixed. Or corroborating evidence can be gathered; say several older, "potentially untrustworthy" devices take very similar video of an event.

As with most things, the primary issue is not really a technical one. People will believe fake photos and not believe real ones based on their own biases. So even if we had the Perfect Technology, it wouldn't necessarily matter.

And this is the reason we have fallen into a dystopian feudalistic society (we aren't teetering). The weak link is our incompetent collective human brains. And a handful of people built the tools necessary to exploit that incompetence; we aren't going back.

Yeah, I remember this one (flOw), played it on PS3, I think. It's a very cool game. There's an eeriness about it, and there's definitely something resembling a narrative. It was always kind of thrilling to "level up" (quite literally, since you're moving between scale planes in the game), and what kinds of creatures you'd encounter at the next level. They would have new mechanics and shapes that you kind of had to figure out by evolving your play style.

Sony can really put out some amazing first (second?) party stuff when they want to, which makes me wonder why they don't do it more often.
Let's not make shit up. Yanukovich was democratically elected.

I was hoping to see any mention of large file downloads and uploads. Nevermind the article’s ponderous “I can’t imagine any use case for more than 5GB/s”, that’s a use case today where higher speeds above 5GB/s would be helpful. For example, a lot of AAA games are above 100GB, with the largest game in my steam library being over half a terabyte (DCS World). Ideally I wouldn’t have to store these games locally, but I do if I want to have access to them in any reasonable amount of time.

It also takes ages to back up my computer. 18 terabytes of data in my case, and that’s after pruning another 30 terabytes of data as “unnecessary” to back up.
Huh, macOS includes a utility called `dot_clean`. It's just been sitting there, quietly, in `/usr/sbin` for decades waiting for me to discover.

I've been using macOS since it was OS X and thought I knew most of its nooks and crannies. Today I learned a new one.

When I was first introduced to Unix in the mid-90s, one of the things I did was to poke around all the bin dirs, see what was there, read most of the man pages. I'm not sure I ever bothered to do that on OS X. Maybe it's time.

That's pretty crazy, almost the opposite of my own experience. The very desirable neighborhoods where I live are the streetcar suburbs near downtown that were built before the prominence of the car. A lot of on-street parking because the lots weren't sized for driveways, but because the neighborhood is actually walkable and mixed-use it's where everyone wants to be.

Yeeeah... I've seen plenty of startup companies end up in "dead man walking" state because tech debt situation paralized their ability to pivot and follow the growing market and couldn't respond fast enough to growing costs. The developers causing the issues also left when the work became unfun, so they ended up without employees as well.
In the UK, councils often raise parking costs for high street on-street parking and car parks they own. Customers then vote with their feet (or wheels) and shop at out of town mega-supermarkets where the parking is free.

The councils then complain that their high street is dying.
Its too bad since Honda has seemed to have totally lost its luster the past decade or so. Honda was Apple to Toyota's Microsoft for a long time, now their cars are bland and undifferentiated, rather than the innovative leaders they used to be.
I guess there are three "competing" ideas:

- The ends justify the means - Meaning we could justify torture if it prevents terrorism for example. Some people would consider this fine, others not.

- Some moral principles or duties have intrinsic value independent of their outcomes - For example, telling the truth might be considered right not because of its consequences, but because honesty itself is inherently valuable.

- Both means and ends matter - Actions are justified when there's moral harmony between how we act and what we achieve. This suggests that good ends achieved through ethical means have a different moral quality than the same ends achieved through harmful means.

Probably I'd put myself in the latter camps, rather than the first two. But then I haven't thought about this too deeply myself, so happy to hear the opinions of others who might have thought about it more :)
Imagine an eleven-nun nunnery. One nun gets to stay home, or else the nunnery makes special arrangements for the day. Point of the article is that the nunnery should decide for themselves whether to have one parking space or two.
