There's still a difference between functional, information-dense design and a missing sense of design or care.

An interface displaying a lot of information, and ways to manipulate data can be functional and information-dense if there's thought put into how to do the layout, usage of colors, icons and other factors (Thinking about power user tools like Logic, Video cutting software, internal company tools or POS software that is used by many, all the time). It might not necessarily look "clean" and beautiful to the uninitiated but it gets the work done effectively.
As a European this is just so terrifying and fascinating to watch at the same time. I really wonder (and hope for the best) what comes out of all this. With Trump and Musk and this agency that isn't one and all the presidential orders. Will we look at this some time later and think "well, that was really stupid, do not try again" or will the world burn down over this? Crazy times.

If the more expensive testing is at all invasive (for example, biopsies) or still has false positives (benign tumors, say) then it could end up being a net negative. This effect has bedeviled screening for other cancers, like breast and prostate cancers.

Me too, and I was almost 40 before I had my first. Worse, the affects of age is already showing in my body and so physically I'm less prepared than when I was 20.

You interpreted my comment as an attack on the author. If they have a special case they want to optimize FFI for this seems like a great way to do it.

> Spawning processes for operations on the hot path isn't going to help that perception.

Yes it will. Because then you do the number crunching in C/Java/Rust etc instead of Ruby. And the OS will do multi-core scheduling for free. This is playing to Ruby’s strength as a high level orchestrator.

I think you’re vastly overestimating the fork/exec overhead on Linux. If your hot path is this hot you better not be calling Ruby functions.

In general it would be stupid to expect things to be different. What kind of creature gets better because of being locked up for years with a bunch of other worse-than-average creatures of it's kind?

Incarceration, if done properly, might make people less likely to reoffend simply because they get older and their health gets poorer, thus having less energy and becoming less of a nuisance. But that's not done because of insufficient prison capacity. They nearly all get out while still young enough to remain a massive problem.

Martin's only saying that because the idea of CI came first, and he "doesn't want to rudely erase the work of Kent Beck". Trunk-based development has the branching model in the name. CI doesn't; it refers to a method to integrate code, and a whole lot of practices, tools, etc.

In practice, most people don't even use the trunk model for their CI. Most people use feature branches and PRs. They still use everything else from CI, except for the single-branch. What should we call that, then? Not-quite-CI CI? It's simpler to refer to the general idea as "CI", even if it doesn't use a single branch. If you want to refer to the strict single-branch method, "trunk-based development" makes it clear.
> Is there anything we can do?

Keep durable notes and share them with your electeds. Particularly at the state level. These kids won’t be prosecuted immediately, possibly never federally. But their actions will need to be systematically undone at the federal level and individually prosecuted at the state and/or local levels. This is going to be a massive bureaucratic and legal undertaking, and we’ll need record preservation to do it.
I think that's debatable. Many open source licenses have a definition of accessible source code that is similar to:

> The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it.

Certainly, in the past "a tarball of the source for whatever version you have" was absolutely considered sufficient for that. But these days the features provided by source control systems, such as "annotate"(/"blame"), "bisect", etc... could very well be argued to have raised the baseline for what "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it" should mean.

The security and intelligence apparatus made bet big that they could prevent a second trump election, after quite successfully destabilising the first -- they failed. And now the very system of unaccountable executive power which has been built up, is now being used against the executive itself.

This makes me increasingly concerned for a similar turn of events in the UK (ie., given the many actions of the UK state to enable state propaganda, censorship of the UK internet, and tracking of all citizens -- how these will be used if a far-right party comes into power.
For star drive, the force is transferred between the walls of the bit and the walls of the screw flush against each other. Like with gears. This leads to minimal wear and allows for wide tolerances and sloppy angles between bit and screw.

Square bits on the other hand drive the edge of the bit against the wall of the square hole. The edge can cut a circle into the screw, and the square head gets turned into a circle by wear. Thus required tolerances are much lower, and screws don't fall off the bit. If they did fall off you'd know to change the worn bit.

Sensitivity is the false negative rate.

Although it is the opposite of what the doctors want, I would prefer a less sensitive but highly specific test.

If I had 80% sensitivity I'd miss out on 20% of cancers, but if I could match that with a 99.9% specificity I'd have very few false positives.

I hope this type of test can tune that direction.

Many such things from F# come from Haskell (given the influence from MSR UK, specifically Simon Peyton Jones before he left a few years ago), so likely Haskell or earlier imo (at least in terms of "complex" "pipe" operations that have higher-level operations than "bytes in, bytes out" of Unix).

Idk. You can always just leave out details to make things simpler. I could rewrite your version of the abstract to "Scientist find magma under volcanoes." Much simpler! Leaves out a lot from yours, but so did yours leave out a lot from theirs.

I think in this case it is important to consider the audience one is writing to. And the abstract is written to other geologist. They want to know what kind of evidence they have (purely computational? new field measurements? what kind of modality?)

While for me this sentence[1] is hard to penetrate jargon, presumably for the intended audience it is packed full of information. Same as the sentence "we persist the setting in a local sqlite database using sqlalchemy ORM" means a lot more to some dev like me than "we save the setting". You can simplify it of course, but while you make it easier to understand to a lay audience it becomes less specific to the intended and specialist audience.

Wait, so you're not just asking for other articles around this, you're asking for a journalist to see your hacker news comment and provide you sources?
bingo

I feel like journalism, as an occupation, has had a hard time communicating why it exists over the last 20 years or so while trying to keep up with all the changes.

edit: A free primer on standards, re: confirmation.

One source can, with caution, be the basis of an article, as long as it's presented as unconfirmed. This can induce other sources to reach out to their media contacts, so it's useful.

Two sources is considered confirmed as long as they're independent. Journalists have gotten in trouble with double confirmation when it came out one cited the other.

Three independent sources is considered golden.

There's variation here if the source is the source, with actual authority on the subject, but other sources can add context they might not be willing or able to talk about.

I say this as a UKian with a constitutional monarch as head of state:

These actions suggest that today the United States seems to have a de facto King with far greater powers than even those held by George III at the time the founders decided that America did not need a King.

They might not be called that, but they have the ability to exert behaviours akin to an English monarch not seen much since Henry VIII. Arguably, we're heading into Magna Carta territory.

The checks and balances are about to get a big test. I hope they work, and I'm proven wrong.

> DOGE is also working with a FEMA IT Specialist and a grant director, according to Drop Site’s reporting. “Everyone is complying.

This is how a democracy slowly falls into fascism. Not because it's a overnight coup d'état, but because people freely give power away instead of resisting, and just agree to actions they never would otherwise.
I am of the opinion that raising a pull request (which is a kind of branch) off main, then getting review, approval and a merge within an hour counts as trunk based development.

But if there are long-lived branches, or a "release branch" which means that main is not what is deployed to production, or that main/"the trunk" is not what is merged onto, then you are definitely not doing trunk based development.

It's either the Chromebook effect: people are just buying slower computers, possibly in poorer-ish countries.

Or: The average speed of new computers just isn't going up. People are just buying lower end computers because they're good enough. I think it's mostly that: the average is just trending a bit lower because lower is fine. The thirst for the high end is disappearing for most segments, because people don't need it.

What?

Being in NP doesn't exclude being in P. Every problem in P is also in NP.

The definition of "NP-complete" is "in NP, and also NP-hard". The definition of "NP-hard" is that you can reduce any NP problem to it using a poly-time mapping reduction (also known as a Karp reduction). So yes, SAT being NP-complete does mean that you can reduce any NP problem to SAT, using a poly-time mapping reduction.

Breaking a hash (e.g. collision finding) is in NP, because you can easily check a proposed solution. Well, with an obvious quibble: P and NP are about asymptotic complexity, but most hash functions are fixed-size. Also if you're looking at complexity theory you might want to talk about targeted collision finding, or first or second preimage resistance, but same deal there. But anyway, supposing you choose a keyed hash that does scale so that you can talk about its asymptotic complexity at all, and has a poly-time cost to evaluate it, breaking that hash would be in NP. Therefore it can be reduced to SAT using a poly-time mapping reduction.
I think there's value of having good people there when the trump administration is gone.

Having those people quit is effectively part of the current administration's plans.
Nothing that DOGE (or Musk or Trump) says can be taken as truth. Without independent data analysis, we simply don't know what's going on.
Why would there be consequences? The majority of voting Americans wanted this to happen. Let's not pretend this wasn't the likely conclusion and voters were solely focused on the price of eggs.

By modifying core systems, the attackers have not only compromised current operations, but have also left behind vulnerabilities that could be exploited in future attacks—giving adversaries such as Russia and China an unprecedented opportunity. These countries have long targeted these systems. And they don’t just want to gather intelligence—they also want to understand how to disrupt these systems in a crisis.

It's really hard to imagine this whole coup isn't some type of Russian / Chinese attack on the western world at this stage. It's too unbelievably good for them to just be a coincidence.
Nobody said this. I suggest that you not escalate the discussion in this direction. You're obviously biased given involvement with detsys, nobody expects you to think differently. This crass dismissal off the issue with a strawman isn't right.
Sure, far more complex branching strategies are now possible.

This is a different question to "is this advisable?"

Just because you can do something complex, doesn't mean you should. Avoiding this complexity can be beneficial.

Yes, some of the complexity might show up somewhere else instead. But which place is the best place for it?

Maybe, trunk-based development is the idea that "branching strategies are not the right place to put that complexity".
Look for politicians (in your district and state) who are already active, pick the one who seems to be not a useless parrot (but also not someone who doesn't get the big picture), and ask them how can you help them, how can you support their efforts.

The good playbook consists of rebooting the D party. (Which lost the election because it did not understand what the majority wants, and how to authentically offer something that is close enough.)
