Fair enough. I think it’s possible to do a lot of things at once but if you have a “fixed” budget you really should just order by effectiveness.

Fungibility is pretty context dependent
According to the IEA, US fossil fuel consumption peaked in 2007. Our GHG emissions, as of the last 2022 inventory, are below 1990s levels.
I’m not sure that |> operators are the right analogy, but fwiw:

Clojure does either first or last position depending on the operator, and it offers lightweight lambdas similar to your second option

The natural choice for a language like Haskell is final position: the rhs of the |> will be partially applied an |> has type a -> (a -> b) -> b

In R, things go in the last slot I think but most arguments on the right hand side would be passed as keywords so the ‘last’ slot would often be the first argument.

The whole point of Unix pipes is that execution is parallel so I’m not totally sure I get your point about guaranteeing execution order.
This is an interesting take, thanks for describing it. I think most people, myself included, would find your setup a little odd, but I completely understand why you're doing it. It would make many (most?) home media servers a little hobbled, especially if you wanted to stream content to mobile devices outside of the home, but it sounds as if this is more of a replacement for the old pile of set-top boxes for you, rather than a general service to all your devices, is that a fair interpretation?
It made my day, I’m happy it got posted.

Also, something about the funny syntax feels familiar, reminds me of concurrency in Swift 6 (just keep adding keywords to make it work).
Thailand has a long coast. Point at any small/medium settlement or island and Google it. Even Phuket has areas that aren't super developed. I visited Koh Yao Yai and it was indeed chill, maybe too chill because there was nothing to do there after a couple of days.

> I can attest that this type of thinking is becoming increasingly rare as our industry continues to specialize.

This (and a few similar upthread comments) sum the problem up really concisely and nicely: pervasive, cross-stack understanding of how things actually work and why A in layer 3 has a ripple effect on B in layer 9 has become increasingly rare, and those who do know it are the true unicorns in the modern world.

Big part of the problem is the lack of succession / continuity at the university level. I have been closely working with very bright, fresh graduates/interns (data science, AI/ML, software engineering – a wide selection of very different specialisations) in the last few years, and I have even hired a few of them due to being that good.

Talking to them has given me interesting insights into what and how universities teach today. My own conclusion is that the reputable universities teach very well, but what they teach to is highly compartmentalised and typically there is little to no intersection across areas of study (unless the prospective student hits the pot of luck and enrolls in elective studies that go across the areas of knowledge). For example, students who study game programming (yes, it is a thing) do not get taught the CPU architectures or low-level programming in assembly; they have no idea what a pointer is. Freshly graduated software engineers have no idea what a netmask is and how it helps in reading a routing table; they do not know what a route is, either.

So modern ways of teaching are one problem. The second (and I think a big one) is the problem that the computing hardware has become heavily commoditised and appliance-like, in general. Yes, there are a select few who still assemble their own racks of PC servers at home or tinker with Raspberry Pi and other trinkets, but it is no longer an en masse experience. Gone are the days when signing up with an ISP also required building your own network at home. This had an important side effect of acquiring the cross-stack knowledge, which can only be gained today by willingfully taking up a dedicated uni course.

With all of that disappearing into oblivion, the worrying question that I have is: who is going to support all this «low level» stuff in a matter of 20 years without a clear plan for the cross-stack knowledge to succeed the current (and the last?) generation of unicorns?

So those who are drumming up the flexibility of k8s and alike miss out on one important aspect: with the lack of cross-stack knowledge succession, k8s is a risk for any mid- to large-sized organisation due to being heavily reliant on the unicorns and rockstar DevOps engineers who are few and far between. It is much easier to palm the infrastructure off to a cloud platform where supporting it will become someone else's headache whenever there is a problem. But the cloud infrastructure usually just works.

This is absolutely insane. It's almost cartoonishly monstrous.

Why isn't this better known? The way the Tamils were treated is so pure a representation of evil that I can barely get through the Wikipedia page. This was the work of Buddhists, too! I've been taught that Buddhists were peaceful and non-violent by creed, but clearly not if the only Buddhist majority nation is capable of such abomination.
My interest was piqued and I’ve been trying ChatGPT Pro for the last week. It’s interesting and the deep research did a pretty good job of outlining a strategy for a very niche multiplayer turn based game I’ve been playing. But this article reminded me to change next month’s subscription back to the premium $20 subscription.

Luckily work just gave me access to ChatGPT Enterprise and O1 Pro absolutely smoked a really hard problem I had at work yesterday, that would have taken me hours or maybe days of research and trawling through documentation to figure out without it explaining it to me.
Happy to see some progress here, I trust you will stop bringing up corporate taxes as a distorting element.

Next up, what you need to understand is that there's no tax relief happening here either.

When the end consumer is in the US, nobody pays any VAT on anything in the value chain. Not the US company, not the EU company.

And conversely when selling to the EU, exactly the same amount of VAT is paid in the end, no matter how the value chain is distributed among different jurisdictions.

Where's the unfair asymmetry here?

VAT is a consumption tax. It's conceptually paid by the end consumer. It's not paid for goods exported to a non-VAT country because it's up to the destination country to decide how they want to tax consumption, not the source country.
"Men who have sex with men" is a crazy framing of HIV presentation, which by the way, helps everyone, not just LGBT people. Uganda and many other countries regularly prosecutes people for being LGBT, so maybe its not such a bad idea to support those communities by advocating for them.

All of DOGE is just "I don't like these programs, so I am going to call them waste". None of those programs are wasteful that you listed, you just don't like them. How about you substantiate how any of these programs are corrupt or wasteful.

Westerners rarely associate Buddhism with extremism or violence, but Buddhist movements in Asia have often raised few qualms about the use of force. Buddhist authorities have, at times, justified violence against the faith’s enemies and supported authoritarian regimes.

I believe the big selling-point for Plex is that it can stream content to every single device you own no matter where you are, which requires on-the-fly transcoding.

This has nothing to do with reducing the deficit. If it did, they would not be trying to cut IRS funding whose sole purpose is collecting revenue for the government. There are billions of dollars that the government is unable to collect due to insignificant resources. They are also still planning on their massive tax cuts which would further.

DOGE exists to cut programs that the current administration does not like. Thats it. Its entirely political.

Which COBOL? COBOL for AIX:

COBOL for z/OS

> DATE-OF-INTEGER […] A positive integer that represents a number of days succeeding December 31, 1600, in the Gregorian calendar. The valid range is 1 to 3,067,671, which corresponds to dates ranging from January 1, 1601 thru December 31, 9999.*

So two COBOLs, from the same vendor (IBM), have different epochs. More:

> CEECBLDY: Converts character date value to the COBOL Integer format. Day one is 01 January 1601 and the value is incremented by one for each subsequent day. […]

an ai agent to scrape SME's on reddit based off of keywords and subreddits
What if you could describe what you want to learn about and find Reddit users to connect with?

introducing linkeddit.com

all you have to do is...

- Describe what you are looking for. For example, "I want to learn how to market my SaaS, who should I contact?"

- The website will use this description and auto generate a pipeline with Reddit keywords and subreddits to scrape from (you can add your own on top of it)

- The AI agent will then scrape Reddit posts, comments, user profiles, karma and user activity to give you a list of users to connect with!

I found it so much easier to get help from people who have experience in any field with this application.

I had this application with 0 users, and I connected with people that the pipeline gave me to ask how I can improve my landing page, or my marketing skills etc. After I took in feedback and improved my application, I got my first sale in the first 30 minutes after relaunching.

It's basically just seems like a riff off of a Bloomberg article published yesterday, titled "The NBA Has Fallen Into an Efficiency Trap", without any of the details in the article, besides the 3-pointer trend chart, which is basically a carbon copy. I'm not even sure this article is suggestive of someone simply looking at the data. Given the close timing, they probably just read the Bloomberg article, or a different blog inspired by the Bloomberg article, as opposed to just coming to this conclusion as a NBA aficionado.

What, precisely, does a voron 2.4 offer over a Bambu X1C (or, more fairly, a P1P) that is worth the additional price (double a P1P) and the fact you have to assemble it yourself (which takes days)?

I’m all for building something that offers an advantage, but it seems neither cheaper nor offering any better quality (and, if you build it poorly or use a poor quality kit, it’ll have substantially worse quality).
My observations so far is that this game mode causes a lot of draws- because when a player gets a "power play" (moving opponent's piece, then immediately own piece) they can nullify pretty much any attack. It does seem like restricting mobility to your important pieces like the queen and rooks can be advantageous- to prevent your opponent from taking them on a "power play"

As for the turn order- it generally needs to be "odd number of consecutive normal moves" followed by two "blunder for opponent moves". I have it set at five consecutive normal moves right now. Initially, I tried three, but that was too frustrating. Your opponent had too much control over your board. I could be convinced that seven normal consecutive moves is better than five though. Beyond that, I would think that the gimmick (playing for opponent) would occur too rarely. I'm not sure though! I'm curious what others think
The GBA had 6 videos modes: 4 of them were tile based, and the other 3 were framebuffer based. That's how games like Doom could run on the GBA.
"The regular season is too long" and "the first quarter doesn't matter" (make that anything before the last 5 minutes, really) are practically ancient complaints at this point. Decades long.

"Too many threes" is a more novel complaint but one that should self-correct in a couple of ways:

* the passing/screens/movement that leads to a good look at a three is often pretty fun

* taking bad threes has a lot less mathematical advantage and as defenses get better at shutting down the schemes for the good ones, the best teams will adjust what other looks they try to generate

I would also be fine with moving the line back, or getting rid of the corner three entirely. The fixed-distance shot is an easier skill than being able to hit jumpers from various distances so as long as its easy-enough then you're never gonna see players who don't otherwise have much offensive game train themselves to be 3pt specialists.
Humor is all we have but, as we see here, the ones who entertain by ridiculing those in power are always targeted first.

IME school is for academic discovery and learning theory. 90% of what I actually do on the job comes from self-directed learning. From what I gather this is the case for lots of other fields too. That being said I've now had multiple people tell me that they graduated with CS degrees without having to write anything except Python so now I'm starting to question what's actually being taught in modern CS curricula. How can one claim to have a B.Sc. in our field without understanding how a microprocessor works? If it's in deference to more practical coursework like software design and such then maybe it's a good thing...

The tricky thing about playing locally is that white and black will always alternate- so if you're not paying close attention to the turn order at the bottom, it appears as if it is playing out as normal chess.

Looking over the list I determined that I already regularly follow all the rules but the first three.

But, as a C#/C++/Typescript developer, I don't have the first clue how any I might go about implementing those rules.

Anybody know of patterns for this kind of safe programming that I can use?

Does just using a language like Zig automatically make my code 'safe'?

Anybody know if generating code from a proof checking language like Lean would satisfy all these rules?
