And this is the thing, the rest of the world has agreed to be dependent on American companies, because they believed in the legitimacy of the US and free international trade. If belief in that legitimacy goes away, we will see that dependence shift quickly. Let us begin with Mastercard and Visa where the US taxes every payment transaction in much of the world. Do we really believe that Europe couldn't run its own card schemes?
Great article from 12 years ago - regrets of the dying:

Author here - thanks for linking - Unfortunately I didn't have time to continue on this for a long while. I am certainly happy if people get inspiration from any ideas and continue on with it.
When I was living in Beijing in 2018-2020, there was a Korean restaurant I liked. It had the usual South Koren dishes (I'm a topokki fan myself), but I remember they did serve bottled North Korean beer. That was pretty cool, I have a photo of it somewhere.
I would love Gimp to succeed but Gimp is made by coders for coders (as you might expect from a open source program) and not by visual artists for visual artists. I don’t have a lot of hope.

For years I have been using Affinity and it’s been really good, haven’t looked back. Unfortunately it’s not on linux.
Right but we have the tools to rule that out. That's what the field of statistics deals with. It tells you with mathematical certainty how likely or unlikely the correlation you're observing is to be random.

Sometimes people like you need to go through what others do to realise how wrong you were. Some people have empathy to know. You seem like the former. Its not too late to see that Elon is nothing but a fraud though if you wish to.
The "federal budget" is something people often mention, but it's quite misleading. At least in terms of what we think of.

The reason is that the overwhelming majority of the budget is spent automatically - pensions, medicare, social security, and all of these expenses are unavoidable and in a mandatory expenses category. The remainder of the budget, including military, is considered discretionary. That discretionary spending is the thousands of pages that Congress creates (and fails to read) each year. And it's in that budget that most of the things we associate with government came from - everything from education, to roads, to infrastructure, and also the military.

So by the numbers in 2024 the discretionary budget was "only" $1.7 trillion and after military spending "only" $900 billion was left. "Only" obviously needs to be in quotes but that's indeed only about 13% of the e.g. $6.7 trillion total budget in 2024. And so each time you cut something the amount of money left for the things we generally associate with government skyrockets. So for instance USAID was "only" $50 billion, but that was more than 5% of the entire discretionary budget!

US Federal Workers cost $293 billion [1], and contractors amounted to $760 billion. This is excluding secondary costs/benefits, which are extremely high for government workers, and only direct payments. It also excludes budgeted expenditures that would have been performed by those employees. So that's already $1.05 trillion and we're clearly substantially lowballing the figure. Yet that's already more than the entire discretionary budget excluding military, and certainly far more than 4% of the entire budget (as would be required for cutting 25% to only result in a 1% cost saving, as proposed).

I think great leader got spoiled by best big macs when he went to school in Switzerland. I wouldn't be surprised if he regularly smuggle fast food ingredients straight from the suppliers in and run a personal fast food court. I think he gave up on reunifying with the south after all the Subway product placement in KDramas, and realized the south was too far gone.
> At least attempt to learn how to edit audio and video

I would probably learn how to shoot the content over editing (slash the crew to 0/1 person on filming days) - however learning how to edit (the basics) teaches you how to shoot and how to review final output.
I would prefer to live in a world where all the cars are small.

Taking your example of a corner clip, the larger car would fare better; the smaller car will spin more. There is no better description than "arms race." I understand there are edge cases with rollover, etc. but the first rule is mass.

I suppose the second rule is where between the two cars the force is absorbed. Ideally bumper-to-bumper. Modified lifted trucks ought to be banned as far as I'm concerned; it defeats the factory design that had to comply with laws.
Wait till you see Jamie Oliver…
Yes.

Having lived on a 8-mile by 5-mile island, power grid USED to be fed with a single transformer before the state funded a power company to take over and properly re-grid it.

Silly as it may sound, outage was easily triggered by a wildlife (beavers by flooding, hawk-arial-nest, chipmunk tunnels, male-deers pushes it, badgers weaken foundation, even bees and ants) by disrupting poles that support the grid.

They'll trip the breakers at the transformers.

Even leak PCB oil from within a transformer to a point of melting the copper winding coil inside the transformer, but that was a manufacturing flaw, not nature intervention.

So yeah, it seems harder to do and less frequent without monkey, but non-monkey-disruptor has been known to happen.

> Note that setjmp() and longjmp() are how C does exception handling, so this rule bans any use of exception handling.

In theory yeah, but I've very rarely encountered it in the wild.

It's hard to use right in any code that has cleanup to do, without building a lot of infrastructure for resource handling.
Most stories are built with a heavy reliance on using peoples fundamental unwillingness to communicate with other people in mind to manufacture conflict and therefore narrative progress.
A majority of films and book plots, were they taken and rewritten by a person who rejects the idea that it's acceptable to expect others to read one's mind, would end partway into the story.
Another perspective on that is if some highly-ranked agent may do so, maybe the system itself is wrong. This is basically allowed and works. Why someone who remains in practically legal limits to blame if clearly your ideas are based on morals and not these limits?

I’m not justifying him here, it just seems naive to make the rules which produce (and most of the times promote) ones like that and then blame them for doing what’s effing effective within it. I mean, as a hi-tech american(?) you’re eating a cake baked in the same oven. Maybe it wouldn’t be as tasty if the oven had different settings, and you’d have different life experiences and opinion then.
In Go this is known as Rengo and is the most popular couples' tournament format.
How many contractors are also gonna go out? Those numbers are never included, but might be a staggering amount.
my perspective is someone where the city has been largely built for cycling, which leads to less deaths overall.

Population of Malmo is actually higher than Orlando, FL for example.

Yet, for Skåne (the region where Malmo is; pop: 1,421,781), 25 traffic deaths were recorded in the year 2019[0].

173 road deaths were recorded in Orange County (where Orlando is; pop: 1,429,908), during the same period.[1]

That’s a difference of 7x, and Skåne is one of the largest regions in the country, many places are car dependent - yet the major change is that urban areas are sufficiently dense so can be cycled (even during cold climates) and that there’s dedicated infrastructure for doing so, which eases the traffic burden too.

Works! Thank you :)
I mean, I design my code, I'm just uninterested in distorting the design of the code to make it a little bit easier to write the least valuable kinds of tests (you can always unit test some code, it's just a matter of how extreme you want to go in your test harness - I believe it's the test harness that should change to fit the natural design of the code, not the other way around).

>If a fault is triggered with an integration test but not with a unit test, that tells you two things:

In most cases the interaction between units is far less predictable than the behavior of a given unit. And it's often not obvious which unit is 'broken'. Usually the units are doing what they were intended to do, it's the combination of behaviors that are broken (which yes, means 'the design is broken' - that's usually the harder part than writing the code!). No amount of unit tests will catch that. The integration tests will catch problems units, in contrast (admittedly, not 'accidentally working' cases, but I find it's rare anyone else cares about those).
They can bring down the economy of much of the world, though, and that doesn't require much commitment.
Yeah I'd heard this and I think he is right. I'm about to use the approach in a coding task in work.

However this is people's livelihoods, mortgages, kids etc. being on the receiving end of it through no fault of your own must be awful.
After a quick search, I found there are North Korean restaurants in Seoul owned by escapees. Definitely a way to learn about the oppressed North Korean people shut away from the rest of the world without supporting their messed up leaders.
Porting to a different Scheme implementation requires some effort:
schemesh needs a good, bidirectional C FFI and an (eval) that allows any Scheme form, including definitions.

For creating a single `schemesh` executable with the usual shell-compatible options and arguments, the Scheme implementation also needs to be linkable as a library from C:

Chez Scheme provides a `kernel.o` or `libkernel.a` library that you can link into C code, then call the C functions Sscheme_init(), Sregister_boot_file() and finally Scall0(some_scheme_repl_procedure) or Sscheme_start()
Ok - wow please point at more reading across this :-)
No wonder why Pat had to leave. He was willing to fight.

On the assumption that TSMC is even willing to buy Intel's Foundry. I would have wished AMD or even Nvidia to buy the x86 part. Even Qualcomm would have been a better option. Broadcom is simply not a consumer company and unlikely know how to carry on the Intel x86 Legacy forward.

I guess this is basically the board has decided to give up. The fight is too hard. HyperScaler continues to move towards ARM. They should considered themselves lucky Ampere didn't execute well in that space but ARM will likely be doing it themselves. ARM on Windows is finally happening. There is nothing on the roadmap for Intel that doesn't look grim. ( And arguably the same for AMD as well )
Do you really believe that your second sentence is true? wow. So what you are saying is that billionaires, while they do pay taxes, pay their fair share with no attempt to avoid taxes? No overseas accounts or shady businesses? Its all above board?

But anyway, lets focus on the low productive people, because that really what is going to bring America out of the rut that it is in. Not the overly powerful rich that are totally screwing the regular joe. You're on another planet bro if you think the problem is the low productivity person and thats what America needs to focus on right now.
This assumes the 50 interns have no systematic error. In practice, inexperienced developers tend to make similar mistakes
> They were just talking about test doubles / mocks above that. Those cause all sorts of risks with false positives and false negatives, for example by mocking out a function the code under test relies on, but the mock not being changed when the contract between those two pieces of code changes.

The point is that it's absurd to try to characterize the regressions you're introducing as "false positive"/"false negative".

Again, this is at best specious reasoning, and to me reflects that the blogger completely misses the point of having tests.

Your code has behavior. Your tests verify invariants associated with this behavior. If you purposely change that behavior, it stands to reason that your task also involves updating how your code checks for that behavior.

If you change behavior but fail to change how that behavior is checked, that is not a false positive or false negative. That represents a few problems you introduced: failing to update how that behavior is checked, and failing implement new behavior without checking if it works. Both reflect problems created by a developer failing to perform the basics of their work, and worse: blaming working tests for the mess he's creating.

Think about the issue: if a highway administration decides to redesign an intersection but fails to move/update its stoplights, does this means the old stoplights cause accidents with their false positive greens?

How did you come up with such conclusion?

Argument is only that there is a lot of proper engineering in software development - whether it is implementing memory safety by default in new languages or having organizational processes. All is there and I only dislike opinions that say software development is immature new field. It is not.

Article was also about NASA organization rules so pointing to MISRA was argument „it is. It only NASA and those are not so special rules”.
I am unsure what you mean by "the foreign product already paid taxes in the country it was made" in this case. The VAT is done on the buyers side. The foreign product is taxed by the importing entity in the country with the VAT, then by the consumer when they buy the product from the importer.
For the consumer there is no difference between the foreign and domestic product and therefore there can be no difference in how attractive it is.

You pay the cost only when the exception is raised. If that happens on more than 1% of your runtime checks, it probably is not (aka should not be) an exception.
I thought you were done?

> We’ve demonstrated how that doesn’t actually happen though. You’re the one refusing to accept the evidence.

The other user stated nothing had happened since 2019, and there was an incident in 2024. The examples you've provided are not equivalent to the examples in the UK you are trying t o map them to.

You showed no equivalent to people being arrested for white paper protests, the last examples in the US were in the 70s.

Additionally, 2500s NCHI were incorrectly reported, and you haven't addressed that as well.

That someone has to talk to cops at all for not wanting to shake hands is as scary as it is ridiculous, and its frankly bizarre you want to downplay and dismiss it.

Exactly what evidence is it you think I am refusing to accept? If you can be clear (and I expect you won't be able to because you've only been vague so far and frankly I doubt your claims have substance, which is why out of frustration your resorted to vulgarity and insults, and why when I asked you for links you claimed it was too much effort but here you still are replying...), then I can tell you exactly what issues I have with each item and there can be some productive discussion on the merits of my arguments.

> And my point about your police force is saying perhaps you should spend more energy addressing your own country’s problems

Yes, that's exactly what a whataboutism is. It's literally a perfect example.

> before making incorrect judgments about others.

So far, the evidence supports my claim, and the evidence from the both of you has the other user falsely claiming there were no incidents after 2019 and you equating unrelated non-equivalent incidents in other countries to incidents in the UK. Not at all convincing, and frankly seems rather desperate. If your searches are failing to turn up sufficient evidence, you should maybe consider that your point doesn't have the backing you assume it does.
You must be talking about this one claim? Your comment reads as if you are dismissing the whole article.

> That included staff who are stationed at facilities where the weapons are built, according to CNN.
Bezos competing with Branson for just-barely-space tourism was fun for a while. But the impending decommissioning of the ISS is fueling a boom in space station development. The future of space tourism is in private space stations like the one Axiom is building.

Which means in the future Bezos needs something comparable to Falcon 9 and the Dragon capsule, not a small suborbital pleasure craft like New Shepard.
>Sometimes you need the unit before you can unit test.

Right. In those situations I TDD with an e2e or integration test.

I dont get why youd restrict yourself to doing TDD with just with low level unit tests.
Do you have Google SafeSearch or Bing's equivalent turned on perhaps?

I reckon it might be triggered by the word 'pussification' to refuse to return any results related to that.

If you're using a corporate account, it's possible that your account manager has enabled SafeSearch, which you may not be able to disable.

Local censorship laws, such as those in South Korea, might also filter certain results.

5 videos shot at a time + editing. $17,500 for 2 days of shooting and 5x10 minute edits sounds like a lot to me.

No idea what the breakdown would be - $5k per day shooting, $1,500 per edit? Best guess everyone is being paid $250/hr.

Gemini was also "use us through this weird interface and also you can't if you're in the EU"; that + being far behind OpenAI and Anthropic for the past year means, they failed to reach notoriety, partly because of their own choices.
Yes, but there are providers of Non-DRMed ebook files so in effect this is very similar to owning a physical book. They cannot revoke your access to a file.
If shooting and defense got better simultaneously, then all other things equal, overall shooting % should have stayed about the same, not gone down.

Also, as hardwaregeek mentioned: "And in turn, the game has become less crowded and more spread out, leading to a higher percentage on dunks and layups."

You can be an environmentalist (I am) and realize that much of the 'environmentalist movement' is self-serving nonsense; e.g., plastic recycling. It doesn't mean you don't care... it just means the world is less altruistic than you thought.

The European Payment Initiative, the EPI, abandoned its plans for a card scheme and decided to focus on an account-to-account instant payment solution (A2A) for all kinds of use cases, all through a wallet.

There is a prefix -em (-εμ) which is used to formulate words containing the essence of "within", e.g. "εμπεριέχει" (emperiechei/"including"), or "εμπύρετος (empyretos/"feverish". The sound in such cases veers in the direction of "emp" rather than "eb", due to the prefix. It's still not a distinct m+p, but significantly less voiced than e.g. "μπύρα" (beer)

Their main claim to fame was blending LLM+search well early on. Everyone has caught up on that one though. The other benefit is access to variety of models - OAI, Anthropic etc. i.e. you can select the LLM for each LLM+search you do.

I may have incorrectly used a term of art there. That said…

I am certain that universities will not come out on the short end of this deal for very long, if at all.

There are myriad ways they can do this that will pass an audit. Some games I’ve seen played before the current nonsense:

- put requests from unfavored grants at the bottom of the priority list

- move unfavored grants to crappy and/or inconvenient locations (my favorite was when they split one “group” into four different buildings, basically giving them everyone else’s space scraps)

- cut rotations for things like cleaning staff to the absolute contractual minimum

- stop providing free QoL perks

- the worst case scenario is where they just provide a lower level of service to everyone

University administrations are pros at being petty tyrants — it’s their superpower. The question is in what ways will they use these powers when their cut from certain grants is reduced.
>Sure spending finds its way into the economy, but tax dollars saved also will.

Tax savings too a $40k a year person immediately find their way into the economy. Tax savings to multi-millionaires and billionaires tend to result in ever higher asset prices. They have too much spend effectively, so they hoard it.
While Ammonia generation "involves just nitrogen and hydrogen", the crux is that it requires high temperature. Haber-Bosch doesn't do at ambient - something like 800°C IIRC. And the heating for such is done by burning something (coal decades ago, gas now).

For many "ordinary" chemicals, the so-called process temperature is the challenge with carbon-free. Not dissimilar from steel or aluminium making (melt the ore first before reducing it).
