If ads were "completely fucking irrelevant" then companies wouldn't be spending the large amounts of money that they do on it. I agree that ads are a nuisance, but they're not going to be easy to simply get rid of, as long as money is involved. And considering how tightly coupled finance is with policy nowadays, I find it highly unlikely legislators would pass bills banning public advertisements. Especially when sometimes the government itself is the one getting paid to promote goods and services.

Finally, the issue is also defining what constitutes an advertisement. How do you draw the line between advertisement and free speech? If, theoretically, a very passionate citizen, enjoyed a product so much that they simply wanted to publicly express their satisfaction with it, posted a sign of that expression, does that constitute an advertisement?

If it does, and gets removed, then I'm afraid that's no different than some dystopian form of censorship.

If it doesn't, then it would be trivial for companies to continue advertising, because then every ad could just be re-framed to be the personal expression of an individual.
Yeah, if we are talking about humans, then this is definitely a big win: big table lookup is for a human faster than multiplication (not really true for computers), and slide rules make all the difference.
Flatpak provides an alternative to the distro package but the distro package is still useful. The distro package provides tighter integration with the OS and provides stability guarantees that Flatpak does not. The distro version also allows an OS deployment with a single tool. They’re both useful.
All a Mac user has needed to do was install from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and then run python3 in the shell. Even if you use MacPorts or brew or conda or whatever, there's a distinct command to run Python 3 instead of 2.

I get that Python's package manager situation is terrible, but like the other user said, you only need built-in packages to spit out a config json or whatever.
Well just last year there were front-page stories on this website about the ballooning number of bureaucrats/admin staff at US universities. I think there was a flurry of articles since the proportion of admin staff had just exceeded faculty/students, or something similar. I'm with you though, I don't know who to believe, from the outside looking in. But some of the stuff that's been cut is only taking us back 5 years and it's hard for me to get worked up over that. What would really help with all these cuts is some historical perspective. Has 60% overhead been the norm for 50 years, 20 years, 5 years?
Not even close to the Nuremberg “following orders” defense. Empathy is an essential component to understanding and understanding is an essential component to productive change. This is on the fairly safe assumption that most changes, especially random or chaotic, would be unproductive or even counter productive.

Gallagher is the asshole. Do you think he'd allow me to start making and selling a Full Colour Black greeting cards despite:

They(Gallagher's company/lawyers) added that the artist owning the trademark is “problematic for the industry [because it] allows Pest Control to flex their muscles in a way that is potentially unfair for competition.”

being his position?

I don't think Banksy is being a hypocrite - one can be critical of the rules while still following them.

Gallagher is being very rude - in fact trying to pass of your own work as someone else's without their permission to fraudulently sell it for more money has a name: Forgery. It's so rude it's illegal.
These days it is like why even hire H1B's when they can simply outsource the talent? Even companies like American Airlines are opening big offices in India etc...
You run into the same problem with config DSLs, except now you're dealing with a DSL. Config is almost never going to be static.

While SQL is great, complex analytical queries are much easier to write, read and modify when they are written in pipe-based syntax because of the reasons outlined in the announcement:

- Pipe-based query is executed in clear sequential stages according to the pipes written in the query. SQL execution stages aren't clear enough.

- SQL requires mentioning GROUP BY fields twice - at SELECT and GROUP BY statements. This complicates modifying the query, since you need to modify the set of GROUP BY fields at SELECT too.

- There are no limits on the combination and the number of pipes, which can be used in a single query. There are various limits in SQL. For example, you cannot use WHERE after GROUP BY (there is HAVING workaround, but it looks unnatural). Another example - you cannot easily use GROUP BY multiple times with arbitrary additional calculations and transformations in the middle (of course, you can use subqueries as a workaround for these limitations, but this will complicate the resulting query too much).

I recommend reading the following short migration guide from SQL to pipe-based LogsQL (query language optimized for typical queries over logs), in order to feel the difference - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/sql-to-logsql/
So one thing, it's the winter rate, summer rate is higher when people run their AC and the energy company has to use higher cost sources. Second, it's a tiered rate, first x amount of kWh is a higher rate, then once you reach that amount it's a lower rate. But I'm already above the tier cutoff every month no matter what, so marginal winter rate is around $0.06.
What is it incompatible with?
> That's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to songs you know intimately enough that you can sing

That's not what this study is talking about. Click the link and read the first line of the abstract:

> Absolute pitch (AP) refers to the ability to identify the pitch of a tone without external references.

Lot of people are getting downvoted throughout this thread, but they're right. Absolute pitch in the context of this study is strictly about identifying heard tones.

You also cannot self-evaluate your ability to sing or recreate a specific pitch. You need an actual reference tone and an ability to measure it.

Most people will self-rate their singing pitch as being accurate, but when you introduce a calibrated reference tone and measure, it's a different story.

Also note that absolute pitch requires identifying 12 tones across an octave. Again, not as simple as singing your favorite song.
Possibly, but I think Hanlon's Razor applies here.
It's not even remotely the same thing. It's a simple fact that there's nothing that requires gigabytes of data on a mobile device that can't be more easily done server side, unless it's real-time. And if it's real-time, the maximum amount of data is the maximum fidelity of data that the device can output (pixels times refresh rate plus lossless audio, either the device specs or its compute ability to drive the hardware). Right now, even if you max out your device's physical ability to output data into the real world, you're not coming close to maxing out your connection. The network isn't the bottleneck, and it's probably not even in the top three.

Investing in more bandwidth is a massive waste on the scale of billions of dollars when you consider that time and capital could be better spent improving existing coverage, lowering latency, and making the service more reliable. Creating a next gen standard that requires new hardware and new devices to support a use case that doesn't exist and can't materialize with today's devices is just silly.
I don't think it's just a parlor trick. (I don't have it, BTW.) Obviously it depends on the instrument: for example, if you're playing the piano you can completely forget about absolute pitch. But if you're singing a long passage without accompaniment, without absolute pitch you may end up drifting.

Also, a lot of classical composers enjoyed elaborate key changes: e.g., you'll have your main theme in A major, and then it appears again in D major, and later it comes back as A major. If you have absolute pitch (those composers likely did), then they all sound different, as if you first see a picture in black and white and later it comes back in blue. If you don't, then that part of composition completely passes over your brain.
There are way more people who know Python than Scala, and it's also an easier language to get started with.

As someone who worked a bit with Bazel actions and uses Scala: I think Bazel cuts down on the area where arbitrary I/O happens. Also, many executables come from pre-defined targets (e.g. java toolchains).
One way to deal with I/O is if Mill injected its own implementation of a JVM filesystem/network layer, which I'm pretty sure it can do.

We should update mental models of who works on open source accordingly [corporations vs individuals]

I would like to see some numbers on how much code labeled "open source" (as opposed to having more of a free software ideology) is contributed by corporations and their employees, versus individuals

I think it's been very clear for 20+ years that the largest open source projects have corporate origins, or big corporate contributors, as I mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35941074 (Linux kernel, LLVM, Firefox, Chrome, MySQL, JVM, VSCode, Ubuntu, Red Hat, etc.)

But I wonder what happens when you look at medium size projects and libraries, like those in PyPI, NPM, the Go or Rust package ecosystems, etc.

Are corporations contributing closer to 20% of the code, or 80% of the code? I think there is a lot of code contributed by medium size companies, e.g. in the PHP ecosystem there seem to be many little companies
> nothing about the entire situation had anything to do with marcan anyway

I agree with you but just a point of clarification. Martin was working on drivers that he wrote in Rust for the Asahi Linux project. Those drivers would utilize the rust API wrappers that were the subject of this debacle. If they were to be included (as he wanted) it would have made his life easier. If they were rejected then his own driver would be made more complicated. So, he had a legitimate stake in this and when he suspected it wasn't going the way he wanted he lashed out.

The irony is, if he hadn't blown this all up, the change could very well have snuck in under the radar.
Thats a depressing outlook. I feel the lower levels of uni have been co-opted as you say, but once you're passed the undergrad level I think it would become more about interest in the subject and less about a job, don't you think? (Sadly I may be wrong)
Your claim requires the belief that $39M is a reasonable compensation rate for anything at all.

I dispute that.

However, I also acknowledge that I don't have a solid proposal to deal with how to distribute vast revenue/profits within organizations that successfully raise them. Mostly I think it indicates they should be charging customers/clients less, but I'm not a proponent of any sort of simplistic "maximimum salary" rules.

Remembering the schema is kind of a big barrier when you're just jumping in, and that's when you want to be able to explore at random the most.

Unlimited queries is a great differentiator and maybe the strongest selling point for me. I didn’t realize that was the case and now I’m considering paying. Agree it would be great to be able to have a short test drive of a few queries when you sign up. Reducing friction to find fit would absolutely accelerate adoption of their paid plan.

Most of the time the danger of lettuce is e-coli that's agricultural runoff from the animal industry, so ironically it's the meat making the veggies unsafe. Obviously this parasite is a different case but that's hardly typical.

And after all, there's no guarantee it came from the lettuce and not from the seafood, as they say in the article.
I expected the FBI to win in court because the FBI had precedent on its side. The judge had asked Apple to provide reasonable technical assistance to access data on the phone, and modifying one line of code fits well within the judge's request.

Correct.

Whole-genome sequencing leads to unnecessary treatment, like mastectomies. It’s not risk-free.
That is in fact one of the solutions proposed by OBS: "We would like to request that this package is either removed, or made clear that it is a third party package."

Which seems pretty reasonable to me, so I can't really fault OBS here.
I'm not sure about "undercooked" meat, as there can be huge variance in risk based on meat type. But it's pretty much always been the case that uncooked fruits and veggies have been the cause of more food borne illness than cooked meat (not sure if that number includes raw/undercooked).
C++ garnered a similarly enthusiastic following in the 1990s as Rust has in recent years. Not only was it “a better C”, but it allowed to build safe and zero-cost abstractions with a rich type system in a way that C couldn’t. (At least that’s what many C++ programmers believed then. It turned out to not be quite zero-cost after all, and exception safety proved to be highly non-trivial.) Details aside, there is a large overlap in mindset between those favoring Rust today with those favoring C++ in the 1990s. And the complexity of many Rust libraries today is eerily reminiscent of the complexity of C++ template-based libraries back then. So I can see why someone might find it odd.
From what I can tell reading the pagure.io thread (https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/463#comment-95541...) the claim from Fedora is that is that OBS is using an EOL qt. It's hard to follow exactly what the issues are with the Fedora flatpak but I can only assume they forcefully updated qt and that's what caused the issues (just a guess from the context).

There's a lot of interesting debate in the linked thread about Fedora giving leeway to "verified" flatpaks, or what they're calling "probably safe" apps that do not request too many permissions, so even if there are vulnerabilities in the source then due to the nature of flatpaks, they won't be able to cause much harm.
It would be high enough that it would be available for people who needed it urgently.

Perhaps a plumber making an urgent visit, using a company credit card. What a perfect use case to spend a lot of money on expensive parking.

In the greater United States, of the people comprising the bottom 30% of income earners, only 10% of them have a car.

Requiring or supporting any sort of car infrastructure is dramatically regressive to them.

Read shoup's book! He shows that not only is it not regressive to implement policies like this, but it is in fact regressive and harmful to the poor people to not have policies like this in place.

He is, of course, cartoonishly guilty:

> At one point during her voluntary interview [with the FBI], the Adams Staffer excused herself to a bathroom and, while there, deleted the encrypted messaging applications she had used to communicate with Adams, the Promoter, the Turkish Official, the Airline Manager, and others.

> Adams claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password on November 5, 2024, and increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six. Adams had done this, he claimed, to prevent members of his staff from inadvertently or intentionally deleting the contents of his phone because, according to Adams, he wished to preserve the contents of his phone due to the investigation. But, Adams further claimed, he had forgotten the password he had just set, and thus was unable to provide the FBI with a password that would unlock the phone.
What is a use case that justifies a Radeon RX 5000 GPU versus an Nvidia Pascal?

The same mindset you are describing is a major reason why Deepseek was able to "disrupt" the ML space.

At some point, just throwing more and more compute becomes a waste.

When building weapons systems, what matters is low unit costs and ease of replaceablity. This is the a major reason why most Defense (as well as Aerospace and Automotive) buyers tend to consolidate on older, cheaper, and more commodified processes

There are significant usecases for bleeding edge compute such as in Simulations (heavily used in Nuclear Research and Jet Engine design), but you can fight using legacy compute at scale and still turn the tides. Look at both Russia and Ukraine for example.

This is cool! Great job! I completed the first challenge.

I guess I’m used to sql server management studio I tried running multiple queries at once and wasn’t able to. I also tried writing a comment with two dashes to keep track of the id’s and it replaced most of my query with dashes. It might have something to do with being on mobile on iOS.
I would say it's more the case that the users who suck are both the loudest and also seem the loudest. If you get 10 people saying thank you and one person cussing you out, it might still ruin your day. And of course a lot of people just quietly use the thing and are happy with it, and you never hear from them at all.

The "pattern book" in the sources interests me. I've seen a reproduction of one of these before, also from the 1500s. Their purpose was to show illustrators and craftsmen how to draw things. This page demonstrates what an elephant looks like (and a fox):

His maternal grandfather was an ardent supporter of nazi ideals, boosted the Protocols of Zion, and moved to the aparthied South African regime as they had "the right idea". His paternal grandfather was less so but leaned that way and was foreign minister in the SA Government defending aparthied.

Elon's maternal grandfather died when he was young but apparently his maternal grandmother had a great influence on him and was likely a fellow traveller living in a house that celebrated all things Nazi.

But could massive institutions be reformed continuously by fixing every problem carefully à la Chesterton's Fence ? I think not: admistrations only grow like a cancer until they are such a complicated knot that no one can disentangle them.

See Europe's fossilization, accelerated by the fact that we have put an administration of bureaucrats over countries to add one layer of rules.
I'd love a DOGE in Eurppe because our administrations can only be cut brutally, like the Gordian knot. That may destroy some good things, but I'll happily pay that to get rid of the bad things.

It's absolute insanity that the mayor of the largest city in the US -- accused of bribery and exchanging favors with a foreign government -- would then do the exact same thing with the US President and Attorney General in exchange for dropping the charges. The people of NYC should be furious that their mayor is now beholden to outside groups rather than the people of the city and those outside groups are allowing him to get away with allegedly betraying the city and committing serious crimes.
I have mixed feelings about the naming. Isn't it kinda off-putting that he named it after himself? usually it's other people who name your algorithm after you. At least that's how it's like in science and engineering (Fourier didn't call it "Fourier transform", Laplace didn't call it "Laplace transform", Kalman didn't name it "Kalman filters", etc.)
