Sorry but I don't buy that a specific process can solve that problem. DDD can actually add quite some unnecessary complexity, not only because it requires that everyone is skilled to know how to apply it, but also because sometimes you really feel you're overenginerring things just to follow ... a model.

I know for certain that a specific way of doing things can and will improve a process. Nothing to say there. But "solving" a problem? Not sure about it.

Plus, sometimes you as a company don't know really what decision to make. PMs try to figure it out, get stuck, unstuck, and then suddenly a big company comes up with something new and your market is shaken. So again "what do I want?" which has an impact over everyone in the chain, because you must design something but keeping in mind that "it might be different in 6 months". So extensible, scalable, but hell please don't overengineer it, and yet I want it to run on K8s, but if a customer needs it in their data centers, we need to find a way to make it work there too, in a way that scales, but we can't give them a k8s cluster. It has to be easy to install, offer great UX and also be Fedramp and super secure, which most of the time means "either ... or".

Some industries are brutal.

Sorry I don't believe that a process can solve that problem.

Maybe in some specific industries where you have a lot of time, very well defined and predictable roadmaps it can work too.
True, but Europe has been relying on Russian oil for decades now, and the attempt to restrain the influence of Russia on European powers has become a great strain on the US. It pushed Russia closer to China and made it more likely that the US would get more involved in interminable proxy wars with a powerful eastern allience at the expense of its economic development. While I’m not a fan of Putin, I can’t see any strategic problems with the move.
Impossible these are our newly minted allies
If you feel like you sleep too peacefully, try the book “Nuclear War” by Annie Jacobsen. It presents a very well-researched and plausible account of how nuclear war could unfold.

It scared the shit out of me.
"Artifact", by Gregory Benford, also includes microscopic black hole on Earth.
MAD is needed if two sides have an offensive first strike doctrine. USSR did not have one. China has an unclear one.

NATO has an offensive one.

After reading the official statements of nuclear use, with the US having "sink an airship carrier and find out", I thought: Are we the baddies? Rules as written, NATO is not interested in the survival of the human race, but in winning every war.
those cases are usually what's called out as when it becomes unsafe.

It's safe as long as it's on the wall but chipping needs to be addressed and for sanding/demo proper PPE/followup cleaning needs to happen. If you maintain the surface you're fine as far as any existing testing shows, usually you want to just remove any loose chips, clean the surface and paint over it so you don't need to deal with more in depth remediation.

If you have particularly destructive kids/pets/people around you may want to do more.
“Criminal use of presidential power” is a bit of an oxymoron, which is why people are getting wrapped up in knots here.

The Supreme Court said, if the Constitution authorizes the President to do it, then he can’t be criminally prosecuted. That doesn’t mean blanket immunity!

> I don't want the site to continue on, in any form - I know a lot of people get a lot of benefit from it, but I do not want it continuing and going in a direction I would not agree with had I continued to administer the site.

Interesting. So people won't be able to keep their comment history. I guess this could have been somewhat planned better, but it's their site after all.
I should restate - mine definitely did not feel better post-surgery, the ORIF pain was worse than the break, but it felt good to have my bones secure with my shoulder in its anatomically correct place, and not have any more crepitus.

My plate was extremely uncomfortable, it was a "hook plate" which held my collar bone to my scapula. I couldn't raise my arm above shoulder height with it installed, it had to be removed after 6mo.

Plate removal was a bit tougher than anticipated (short term). I read accounts of it being a 'relief' but I was in quite bit of pain.
If Bluesky ever gets close to becoming a serious threat to Meta's walled garden, the effort to fight back against them will take a lot of capital. Just the legal battles alone will cost a fortune.

Wikipedia isn't a threat to anyone, they just have to generate enough capital to exist.
The assumption in the paper was 100km/s which is definitely hyperbolic.

If you slow it down to solar escape velocity at the Earth (the borderline of what you might expect) you get 42km/s which is only a bit slower than in the paper. This would mostly have the effect of doubling your radiation exposure.

I would have kept using mine if it didn't have issues dropping calls and also certain app incompatibilities that began to be frusterating. It is actually a lot better of an iphone than my newer SE2. It is much faster on the OS it runs than this SE2 on ios 15. Spotlight search is instantaneous on the old SE. On the SE2 it might hang in spotlight for 5 seconds or longer.

~80% of their revenue comes from Google paying them for search deals on Firefox.

Focusing on anything other than Firefox (but ads and AI? really?) not only cheapens the brand, but also devalues and risks their Google deal.

Unfortunately pretty much every modern product suffers from the same fate, we can't even have widely used open standards for messaging interoperability. We're lucky the open internet, email, irc and etc were invented before all of this enshittification, all of those would be very different if they were invented today.
I think Russia has one too (missile that can turn 90 deg), a big one that comes out of the ground

Probably because it doesn't really do the same thing. They not a typical managed cloud solution. Yeah, they have their object storage now, but not much else.

They are great with bare metal, vm's, very interesting "storage boxes" offer, but that's not exactly full alternative to major public clouds.
Good luck with that depending on where you live.
As a warning to all people seeking to verify the claim that economists call this "goon work"... do not just google "Goon work". At the very least, don't do it at work or on a work device.

Very interesting set of abstractions that address lots of the pain points when building agents, also the team is super eager to help out!
Disbanding of both the legislature and judiciary would be on any dictator's playbook from the last N centuries. I can't imagine either of those bodies would be ok with getting shuttered but it seems they are both pushing for it. Why?
what's your definition of "comprehend"?
> Nukes are such a double-edged sword. If nuclear proliferation continues, I wonder if the MAD doctrine will even work.

Now that the USA has thrown up a giant middle finger to Europe & NATO, it sure seems like more countries are going to have to make their own nuclear weapons. No one is coming to help you Poland; that's the new American stance. So everyone start proliferating!

It absolutely makes the situation much much much harder to manage. Now, and in a longer term as nations go through their own fits & tantrums over time. As, we see, happens.
> They took the helmet away to give to a kid with an recent brain injury, but swapped it with a hefty 2-foot, 1800W panel. It comes with tanning goggles and instructions saying to be nude and 12 inches away from it for 20 minutes per day--so a bit quacky. But it's apparently big in professional sports clinics for speeding tissue and joint healing.

I think the commercial model here is a tanning bed config with LED tubes. Goggles on, hop in the healing tube.
Having recently walked away from that exact situation miraculously unscathed (the teenage drunk drivers also managed to walk away somehow), that’s an interesting insight into the type of injury I avoided. Grim, scary, but very interesting. Glad you recovered.
There's so much about showers in hotels that I hate a good proportion of the time: super-slick tiles, high step-in tubs, accompanied by no handholds. I've gotten more sensitive to this over time but even when I was much younger, nearly took spills a couple of times.
Agreed wholesale. Any QC announcement that does not include replicable benchmarks for progress executing Shor or Grover (or demonstration of another real-world use-case that they actually address) should be dismissed out-of-hand by everyone except other researchers in QC.

> I don't understand why a new party has not formed to leave the batshit crazies behind.

Because when hyperspaces of political positions are projected onto a one dimensional binary, to choose to form a new party guarantees that one half of the hyperspace loses for a generation until there is a full party realignment. It is game theoretically sub-optimal in the short and medium terms, and depending on the effectiveness of your opponents, the long term as well.
They need to hold an actual primary.

Yeah that's mostly my thinking, IE6 was a pain in the neck that deserved to die. (no 8 on this list https://www.pcworld.com/article/535838/worst_products_ever.h...)

Chrome is fine.

Firefox is kind of mixed. I use it sometimes. One of the things everyone recommended was tree style tabs so I got those and was kind of amazed that to make them look ok you are supposed to get some custom css in your editor and send it to some obscure folder deep in the file system. And now the appearance has changed because some update worked differently with the hacked together css? That seems kind of clunky. Though maybe I'm doing it wrong.

The containers thing is cool.
I wonder if Signal should expose linked devices directly in the UI at all times. Something like a small icon that indicates "You have 3 linked devices active" or similar.
>> That an aggressor nation can walk into another country's sovereign territory and annex it with the blessing of a sitting US president is a disgrace.

They did that first in 2014 under Obama, and again under Biden. The current situation has no criteria for an end - it's an endless conflict. Trump is going to move towards resolution of that and the fighting.

For a while I had one of the chunky old black AT&T desk phones set up in the living room, wired to our ISP-provided VoIP box. One afternoon my 7 year old niece was visiting and we realized she'd never actually interacted with a land-line, so we spent the next hour playing with it. It took her a little bit to figure out the physical actions of lifting the handset and dialing the number, but then she had an absolute blast calling her parents, her grandma, my wife, and me. I snuck upstairs and called her, which surprised her.

When I was a kid, I liked to play with the old rotary phone in the shop, and I always wanted to goof around with mom's old typewriter. There's something about these very tactile old devices that appeals to kids (and adults)
Physiognomy is a pseudoscience that often makes big waves in pop science, but its studies are lacking substantially even evolutionary psychologists don't take it seriously.
It's hard to me to read all of this and conclude that this is in any way related to or equal to Elon ripping down entire federal agencies.

I agree that there's some cause for concern and oversight, and that you're describing an imperfect system that has some natural and potentially unavoidable conflicts of interest.

But I'm just not making the connection to whatever it is that DOGE is doing.
Muse, Microsoft's new AI, can imagine gameplay of video games that don't exist
On Wednesday, Microsoft unveiled its Muse AI, which can generate chunks of games based on an image or just a few frames totaling as little as one second.

That means, with a very minimal prompt, you can create game visuals and even brainstorm potential game inputs that Microsoft hopes will propel an idea from concept to reality.

There are tantalizing ways to create fusion which don’t require these precise conditions. For example, a simple farnsworth fusor device gets fusion reactions just by causing atoms to cross paths at super high speed until they collide - they simply don’t collide often enough to release anywhere near a net energy gain.

Inertial confinement fusion, such as the National ignition facility, does generate comparable pressures and temperatures to the core of the sun within the fuel pellet for an extremely small moment during an implosion. This is done by focusing a lot of energy on small target.

Plasma confinement techniques don’t utilize high pressure to create fusion; they rely on extreme temperatures which are significantly hotter than the core of the sun, which can produce fusion events in a plasma which is only pressurized to around 1 atmosphere (they also rely on different fuel types than the sun which fuse much more readily). The key is once again focus, a large amount of energy is put into a small amount of gas. The obvious issue with this is that the extreme temperatures would destroy any physical container rapidly - but given the electromagnetic nature of plasma, it can be contained using a strong magnetic field without reaching the surface of its physical container.
I am actually optimistic that we might get the mini again now the 16e is priced at $599. There is a space for Mini at $499.

Part of the problem with Mini was its battery life. It seems 16e is improving on exactly that. Although I think it wont be 5.4" again since it was too small compared to the rest of the line up where it is usually 20% bigger screen to next size up.

May be 5.6" or even 5.8" as the original X.

I think the other side is equally likely (if not already happening) in that countries seeking 'excellence' succumb to the manager's fallacy of using metrics to reward and punish, at which point Goodhart's law kicks in like it did for no child left behind. Are chinese students cheating on their exams because its only the score that matters, for example?

The lowest denominator, lowering of standards, and grade inflation I believe are all symptoms of 'education' not being about learning and skill building, but about credentialization. If only the certificate matters anymore, then rest is just theatre.
Easily the nicest form factor phone they ever produced. You can reach the entire screen with the thumb in one hand without awkwardly flopping the phone onto the thumb in the farthest corner. It is smaller than your wallet. The battery lasted forever because the screen was small and not that bright or nearly so pixel dense.

Too bad the management consultants killed such a technology.
I don't do web stuff (and hopefully that can stay that way), so I've managed to avoid a lot of Spring stuff, but I am stuck using Spring Streams for some Kafka stuff I'm doing. I'm not going to lie, I don't love it, but that's mostly because it feels like all I do is write YAML files all day.

Vert.x is a lot of fun, and I've gotten pretty decent performance with its SQL libraries in particular, though I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the EventBus. I've had better luck with LMAX Disruptor, at least for the data-processey stuff that I do.

But as I said, there's a ton of really great libraries in Java. The language isn't perfect, but Java 21 fixes a lot of my gripes, and it's nice to have a ton of really well-tested libraries to minimize how often you have to reinvent the wheel.
I'll admit to stealing jokes, but not to reading reddit!
nor does the President "interpret" the law; that is the domain of the Judiciary.

That is incorrect, the president’s responsibility is to execute the laws of the United States. In order to execute a law, one must interpret it.

The exclusive domain of the judiciary is the power to adjudicate cases. In order to adjudicate a case involving a law, one must also interpret.
Yeah nearly all the discussion here seems circular…
I find that many younger people have a hard time 'getting' sarcasm and irony when it is not explicitly pointed out. I wonder if it may be due to the prevalence of '/s' in online discussions, or if something else changed.
Or just enforce a maximum number of followed accounts.
On the contrary, of all the appointments that are to be made under Article 2 power by the executive branch, only the judicial ones are explicitly listed as being for life. Those appointments are the explicit exception to the rule that POTUS can fire people that he hires.
Moore's law is self propagating: improvements in compute beget improvements in compute by improving the computers used to design compute devices. fusion, while in an impressive bootstrapping phase, does not get that acceleration until commercial break-even.

Force is the derivative of momentum. If you apply a gravitational force for a short time, the derivative is the same but the change of momentum is tiny. If you apply it for a longer time, the change is bigger.

Short Term - This might be hype. Sure. Getting some Buzz.

Long Term - MS seems pretty committed and serious. Putting in the time/money for a long term vision. Maybe a decade from now, we'll be bowing down to an all powerful MS God/Oracle/AI.

Subtrace already works great on Kubernetes (https://docs.subtrace.dev/kubernetes)! Add a single line to your image's Dockerfile and that's it.

I'm working on an even simpler way where you can just `kubectl apply` a DaemonSet or a Helm chart to get automatic tracing for all pods in your cluster instantly without any code-level changes. If anyone is interested in beta testing this, email me at adtac@subtrace.dev, I'd love to understand your usecase!

You know that quotes have a meaning, a knife can kill people, but it can also be used to make tasty food, the EU wants to ban the knife because it can kill people in this case.

The thing that the kids in my extended family have found fascinating is that their great-grandmother still has a rotary phone in a spare bedroom of her house.

The people are intuiting this. I think the next election cycle will see a left wing strongman put in. That one will do damage after cleaning up the damage from the current one. So we’ll yoyo back and forth between strongmen to get shit done because the legislative is useless. Because it’s better to yoyo between extremes than to sit in stagnation. We need some reform or we’re going to be stuck on this roller coaster for a long time.
Previously, PiHole used /etc/dnsmasq.d/ with best practice being to put one's own additional config, or overrides, in separate file(s) in that folder.

PiHole v6 appears to have most of that config built-in, and upgrading to v6 removes all of the previous standard config files, leaving only user-created / user-edited files in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ - and PiHole v6 by default no longer imports anything from this folder (to prevent possible incompatibilities).

But it's just a setting, and toggling it brings back the original functionality of importing config from files in that folder. And for me, my custom dnsmasq config worked just the same as it previously did.
A competent Joe Biden would've taken that ruling, said "thank you very much" and "cleaned house" with Seal Team Six of select judges and politicians and then pardoned everyone involved.

The fact that SCOTUS wasn't even slightly concerned about that happening belies the problem: the Democrats are ineffectual by design. They knew Biden would throw his hands up citing "norms" and "institutions" as an excuse to do absolutely nothing.

SCOTUS completely invented a concept of presidential immunity out of thin air to derail the criminal prosecutions. They also deliberaly took their time. Remember when Jack Smith tried to appeal directly to SCOTUS because everyone knew it was going to end up there? Instead, SCOTUS put everything on hold for another 6 months as a delaying tactic.

Even then, the opinion is rushed and haphazard and not at all well thought out. Some in the conservative supermajority allegedly wanted to punt the issue to the next term.

The presidential immunity decision is so brazenly political. The Roberts court will go down in history for the kinds of awful decisions in the 1840s and 1850s that led up to the Civil War.
