> You need to solve this problem before you take away parking, not after.

Isn't pricing street parking the solution the parent comment proposed? It increases parking availability in the short term, while increasing demand for public transport.
Photonicinduction's 10-second kettle[1] managed about 10kW max (took around 5s to boil water) for a short time, 440V 23A. Then the resistance dropped, it went up to 16kW (426V 33A) and popped. 7-8kW (375V 19A to 400V 20A) seemed more sustainable.

So then… why do any of your opinions matter above and beyond someone else’s?

It’s convenient to assume an equal footing, because it saves the effort of having to justify why it’s even worth pondering.

Your free to not assume it, but if you also can’t provide the justification… then the comment is literally just another random string of words among a sea of noise online.

It seems like an insurmountable road block for anyone below the extreme outliers to be honest.

They have more than twice as many samples on their Feb 10 update this year (47810) as they did last year on Feb 14 (22761). They have shown some growth year on year in sample size, but nowhere near doubling.

That suggests this month has been an outlier in having a strangely large number of samples already, which could all be related—maybe their software started being bundled with a specific OEM or was featured on a popular content creator or whatever.

As a sibling notes, less accurate just means less accurate, not necessarily skewed upward. There simply is less data to draw conclusions on than there will be later, so any medium-sized effect that adds 20k extra samples will have a larger effect now than later.
You are right, missed it. Will fix the issues.
According to Mike Benz on the Rogan interview released today, USAID systematically and internationally managed the flow of advertising dollars to major platforms via soft power, and the funding behind that power suddenly dried up a few days ago. He shows the receipts at @MikeBenzCyber on X.

If you can direct me to debunks of this I'd appreciate it, because it's pretty disturbing.

Maybe it’s a marketing and perception thing. You’d hear more about PhoneGap or Cordova even than Codename One.

It's exactly what I'm worried most about too, the kids. I have younger ones. We had a good ride thus far but they don't seem so lucky, things look pretty badly overall without an obvious for much improvement any time soon.
Data visualizations are absolutely used to evoke emotions. Many visualizations are built with the primary goal of driving behavioral change. These by definition will be playing on our hopes, fears, greed, to drive urgency, etc.

Beyond the potential emotional power of a well-chosen and executed visualization, there's also a decent bit of research about the ability to influence mood via color choice. Color choice when visualizing data can make a huge difference in its effectiveness due to this emotional effect.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone with substantial experience of trunk-based development who prefers a merge workflow, and can articulate why. Comments on TBD posts are usually either TBD enthusiasts, or people who have never used TBD and think it sounds stupid.

Hobbled? Maybe. Incapacitated? No.

Anecdotally, I use Copilot auto-complete and I can still code without it, although some parts (boilerplate) may be a lot more tedious. But other parts (not boilerplate) I barely notice.

I know this because Copilot in IntelliJ has a bug where it signs out, and sometimes I write code for a while (~15 minutes?) without it before I notice.

I will confess that when I have Claude generate all the code, it leaves me incapacitated, because I don’t form a mental model. Also, I don’t think Claude uses enough abstraction, and I know it struggles with uncommon foot-guns, so having it generate a large codebase would probably create something inflexible and with particularly annoying bugs. It can definitely write tests and probably also small black-box modules, but until Claude can write a large project on it's own, I don't think anyone can correctly trust it to write the core components of one.

Maybe by using Copilot, I’m being a bit too comfortable with boilerplate, so I’m not abstracting as much, and creating more annoying bugs, vs. without it. But if there’s a different I’m skeptical it’s a large one.
Well, not my experience at all and combining that with the link I posted, I suspect you are mistaking what I am referring to. What are you basing your statement on?
Even thought I know it has been developed in 1960 I always felt like it was specifically designed for making "twitter implementations" of things. ;)
Feature flags have nothing to do with trunk or git-flow or feature branches. Simply, taking the entire introduction and asking, why are you not using common tooling?
Cool, actually not boring and hard to play, good gamification
I concur.

I work hunched over a computer, but I have realized over the years how hollow it all is internally. Most people do not only have no conception of what I actually do, but also, most people will never see it, use it, etc.. My work brings no pleasure to people and is confined to live on a bunch of NAND gates and across various wires.

I think it hurt me most when I realized, on days when I have been really productive, if I just turn my computer off and look around me, then I have absolutely nothing to show for it.
It doesn't have the same level of traction for sure. But it's still popular enough and has support unlike PhoneGap which was discontinued. There are advantages to working with smaller companies where you "know" the individual contributors.

It also came out way after PhoneGap and wasn't backed by a huge company with a huge marketing budget.
This is content marketing for a feature flagging tool called “Bucket.” I’m a big fan of trunk-based development, although I prefer its original name: continuous integration. (Sadly, that name has been coopted by tool vendors.)

A better alternative to feature flags is keystone interfaces. It’s very simple: build your new feature without wiring it up to the UI (or API). Test it using automated tests that bypass the UI. When it’s ready, wire it up, manually confirm that the automated tests didn’t miss anything, and release.

Great work! I'm usually bored too, sometimes I find something to study or try to implement known tech, but only give up when I feel like it's too hard for me or it's too much work haha, this motivates me a bit.
It’s an advertisement for a feature flagging tool. I think you may have missed that.

Let me Google that for you. This seems to be a fairly balanced representation of a lot of different studies. Some of it depends on what you view as positive outcomes or better education, but this seems to suggest that overall there seems to be a higher parental satisfaction and better test scores and better outcomes especially for underprivileged people. It doesn't necessarily equate to increased attendance for college or university but that's not always what people want. Getting students to complete through high school at an acceptable level is really what's critical to allow them to make the choice if university is the correct path for them or if work or a trade school is the best path for them.

The article even seems to point out that with voucher programs which cause competition with public schools it does cause the public schools to improve slightly as well because now they must compete for the public dollars.

Of course they do have such power. Each department/agency has legislation that spells out its scope. An underling in Department A doesn’t have the authority to act outside the scope of its Department A’s power/purview.
There is one cryptosystem that uses an NP-hard problem for its security: the McEliece cryptosystem. The problem used here is decoding a generalized version of an error correcting code, which can be made both NP-hard in theory and in practice if you use the right kind of code. It is reliant on using very specific algorithmic parameters to stay hard, though. However, the versions that are not broken are likely post-quantum ready.

There are commercial machines, but it's important to understand that in the textile industry there's a big difference between commercial and domestic machines, and it's not necessarily that commercial machines are better.

Besides the enormous price difference, commercial machines are usually less flexible than domestic machines. They're optimized to perform a single task at production volume, rather than to do a variety of tasks. Much like how commercial sewing machines typically perform only a single stitch (as opposed to domestic machines, of which modern examples can perform an arbitrary number under computer control), commercial knitting machines can usually only perform a single type of knit. This does mean that the decline of domestic machines in some parts of the textile industry leads to a loss of capabilities that used to be available.

I think this is the thesis, antithesis, synthesis cycle:

Antithesis = flat 2015 YouTube logo

Synthesis = "Material" design. Light 3D effects.
First:

xz vulnerability -- Thus happened because a patch was added by some Linux distros to add functionality for other packages. If openssh was not patched and kept as the OpenBSD people intended, the vulnerability would not have happend. The article seems to indicate it was caused due to other reasons. IIRC, this only affected systemd distros. *BSDs and Slackware did not have this vulnerability.

Yes, Linux and to a far lesser extent *BSD are living in dependency hell. Windows are worse off.

But UN*X systems were initially designed to be simple, but many people want to make these systems into M/S Windows Clones. Until UN*X Type Systems get back to their roots, I see no resolution.

FWIW, the way BSDs are designed, you can avoid a lot of this because they separate third party applications, these are installed outside the base system. People in the BSDs mostly know there are risks to using 3rd party applications, but unlike Linux, BSD users make that decision themselves. Linux distros tend to make these third party applications part of their base system, this forcing risks on the user. The user may not even understand these items have risks that exceed Linux itself.

I begin to suspect you are being deliberately obtuse. I gave an example of something that is legal and Constitutional that Congress could do (remove all Supreme Court justices) that would totally upend the political norms of the country. It would cause a crisis.

Whether you can come up with a plausible legal justification for what Musk and Trump are doing is irrelevant. The previously understood balance of power has been upended. The crisis exists now. Congress has authorized spending that a President signed off on and now a new President is taking it upon himself via his designee to change that spending as he sees fit. This is very bad. This is not how things are supposed to work.
So, I am not doing big development with hundreds / thousands engineers for quite some time. So I started to have sympathy to the other side of the story. The problem with feature branches, especially for frontend development, is that it is never just a "feature" (otherwise, you can gate it compile-time by just compiling out that feature module completely, or in nodejs terminology, treeshaking?).

It is a combination of some new UIs, some updates to some interfaces, some new capabilities to a new middleware and some new APIs to call backend. And you don't want to gate these behind a feature flag. And merging these into main branch while make sure when multiple person working on a feature branch know what commits they did on feature branch is in main branch and why a merge from main branch would just absorb these commits are tiring.

In these cases, trunk based development is really working for cases that not every developer is a git guru and can just navigate the merge back forth from main branch to feature branch and back. Yes, for these, subversion / perforce makes more sense, but everyone who is not git guru is still on git.

That coupled with inefficiencies of your CI system only runs on main branch and needs manual adjustment to run on a feature branch every time, it is easier to do it on the trunk.

Every problem is a tools problem, and people picks least resistance to make tools do what they want. There is no right or wrong, pick your poison wisely.
I can't tell if this is ad hominem or not. Obviously empathy exists, but this is a much, much different level of empathy.

I think that if someone has experienced this drug they would have had the permanent, noticable shift in thinking and perception that I described. That shift would have precluded them from thinking someone without first hand experience could relate. I could sit here trying to explain the experience for hours what experience could do for them in 10 minutes.
He had enriched himself to the tune of tens of millions of company dollars completely undisclosed to the firm.. he had multiple mansions, yachts, and “CEO Reserve” bank accounts that the BoD wasn’t aware of. The men who were “so eager” to help him escape were paid upwards of $1M to do so… man I’m getting tired of people justifying ludicrous amounts of graft and theft.

If other people embezzle as well, send them to prison, but there’s no universe in which Ghosn is clean. And there are plenty of big companies ran by people who aren’t so morally bankrupt.
I follow what the operators tell Wall St, because the executives have large personal financial stakes in getting it right (modulo fraud, but lets trust for now).

For example, at the last investor day that AT&T held, they indicated [0:pdf] that their growth plans are in broadband fiber, not building more 5G capacity to serve a surge in traffic. Reading their charts and knowing how AT&T traditionally worked, I believe that they are going to try to cut the expense of running the 5G network via various optimizations and redirect capital heavily to go after the fiber broadband market instead, using convergence (ahem: price bundling) to win subscribers.

(I bet it really stuck in their craw that Comcast mastered the bundle so well that they even built a successful MVNO on the back of their xfinity customer base and parked their tanks on AT&Ts lawn while the latter was futzing about with HBO.)

However, bundling is a price compression game, not an ARPU growth game. If you start at $100 a month and then begin chipping away with autopay discounts, mobile convergence, free visa gift cards and all that nonsense, pretty soon you are selling broadband for $35 a month and can't make it work except with truly cruddy service, which leads to high churn rates. So we'll see how this turns out.

This is something that weighs on my mind a lot. Industry norm is to use 3rd party dependencies, and it's impractical to carefully vet direct dependencies let alone transitive dependencies. The article spits out a big list of reasons to worry about this, but in the end, the possible solutions aren't all that great.

I have no answers: just questions that haunt me, from time to time.
This is exactly why Terry Gilliam named his production company Poo Poo Pictures. He liked the idea of studio executives having to ask their assistants "Did the Poo Poo memo come in yet?"
> Trunk-based development is the seemingly radical idea of a team working together on the same code base at the same time.

Seemingly radical, hm. I've never worked any other way in 20+ years.
Interesting. Thanks! I've been experimenting a bit with my keepcalm library. I have some experimental async concurrency primitives in there but I'd like to compare with what you've got here to potentially replace them.
It was my first attempt, but I have literally spent like 12 hours a day for the past 4 years with LLMs, so I'm very tuned into how they operate.

Not having a proper account deletion method for deceased persons was one of my big pet peeves when sorting out accounts of a family member.
Every time this comes up it feels like two groups of people meet where one group either thought the other didn't exist or was much smaller than it really is. It's bizarre.
I think even better than functions it can optimize out data sections too. For example if I declare a huge array and don't use it, it doesn't show up in the binary. Not always true but the are times it is.

Thanks for responding that makes a lot of sense. I think you're right about that, and if we view these movements as cults rather than political movements then it starts to make sense how different projects / ideologies can end up at the same conclusion of destruction.
A friend of mine is an actor (cinema, tv, theater) who makes a significant amount of his income as a voice actor.

For a long time I wanted to make a game - think The Stanley Parable or Thomas Was Alone - that would be narrated by the voice of either David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman. You know, it's a low hanging fruit, you can have a two hours long footage of zebras running around narrated by either of these and it's suddenly eerily fascinating.

So far I'm AI skeptic, but this voice thing really makes me think about an actual shift in how certain jobs can become irrelevant in foreseeable future.
Certainly not all packages are reproducible, but the project is systematically increasing the percentage of projects that are reproducible while ALSO adding new projects and demonstrating conclusively that what was considered infeasible is actually very readily achievable.

The first time I learned about UDP multicasting, I thought it was incredible, wondering how many streams were out there that I could tap into, if only I knew the multicast group, and all with such little overhead! Then I tried to send some multicast packets to my friend's house. I kept increasing the hop limit, thinking I was surely sending my little UDP packet around the world at that point. It never made it. :(
Sure they are better... but once you factor for die size, core count, wattage and so on... the improvements being made are less impressive than they first seem.

I don’t think this explanation is great. We could just generate instances until we found the hard one and then use it. So the answer is more complex than just as written.
LLMs can make a lot of mistakes. If you get the impression that an LLM was used, it brings much more into question any detail provided in an article. If they did use one and didn't specifically state which one they used, that leaves open a wide range of error/hallucination rates across a spectrum of LLM performance.

Another aspect is that, if someone took a much simpler, more readable and concise version of the content in the article and fluffed it up with an LLM it can come across as rude or time wasting like articles that are artificially extended to maximize ad impressions.

Skimming over it, I do get that impression too. It's poorly organized and lacks the respectful touch of some common human aesthetic, overusing phrasings like "X world" 16 times and even uses "labyrinthine" 5 times.

In an article about an important topic like dependency risks, you want to make sure there is some deeper competency informing the article so you get the most actionable advice with the least amount of time waste or at least something which rouses high quality discussion about the topic at hand.

Whatever the case, generated or not... it's a bad article. There is room to sarcastically imitate LLM output for comical value, but this article wouldn't be the place for it if that was the case.
