Completely vague if the method and rules for prescribing the drugs changed or more young women getting the medication they need?

The headline hints to outrage and drug abuse, but if the requirements of getting the drugs haven’t relaxed then this is a good sign.

Im so done with this idea that getting medication through doctors is somehow superfluous.
There is inherent complexity and self-inflicted complexity, they tend to go hand in hand but self-inflicted complexity can be exacerbated in bad projects.
A lot of embedded software is just inherent complex, cars for example.
I am always happy when I can take a system that is based on distributed computing, and convert it to a stateless single machine job that runs just as quickly but does not have the complexity associated with distributed computing.

Reccently I was going to do a fairly big download of a dataset (45T) and when I first looked at it, figured I could shard the file list and run a bunch of parallel loaders on our cluster.

Instead, I made a VM with 120TB storage (using AWS with FSX) and ran a single instance of git clone for several days (unattended; just periodically checking in to make sure that git was still running). The storage was more than 2X the dataset size because git LFS requires 2X disk space. A single multithreaded git process was able to download at 350MB/sec and it finished at the predicted time (about 3 days). Then I used 'aws sync' to copy the data back to s3, writing at over 1GB/sec. When I copied the data between two buckets, the rate was 3GB/sec.

That said, there are things we simply can't do without distributed computing because there are strong limits on how many CPUs and local storage can be connected to a single memory address space.
The linuxserver.io packaged a couple popular GUI apps in container, e.g. Calibre.

The container packages a VNC server, and you can access the container using a webVNC.

This seems like a great solution for non-GPU-intensive GUI apps.

I've worked a number of different jobs. Software development isn't the most stressful job, but it can be very stressful.
I'm scared that the executive class will think that AI could replace white collar jobs and then the whole world will become completely enshittified.
There's the States Rights GOP, and then there's the Things Trump Doesn't Like. That executive order about paper straws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14208) falls under the latter category.
Oh, sure. There are lots of things in lots of spirits. Sugars, distillation methods, heart-cut precision can all yield different effects from a spirit, but I can distill a bottle of vodka that's predominately methanols and acetaldehydes from the heads that are perfectly clear, and definitely not better for you than the same spirit from just five minutes later in the distillation.
They already fixed it in recent updates, but many non-updated devices will remain around for quite a while. It’s not fixable server-side.

So I'm actually kind of lost here. As I understand it, your theory is that the anticipation of SESTA/FOSTA caused there to be more professional porn and less amateur porn on Pornhub, which in turn caused a "race to the bottom" in porn titles, along both rough/violent/rapey lines and incest lines at the same time, and furthermore that the titles reflected the actual content?

So you believe SESTA/FOSTA led to an unintended increase in the actual violence you'd see if you watched random videos on Pornhub?

I don't think much of SESTA/FOSTA, but I do think that's kind of a stretch.
_To play devils advocate_: It could've sounded like the "new guy" came in and decided he needed to rewrite everything; bring in new xyx; steer the ship. New guy could even have been stepping directly on the toes of those senior developers who had fought and won wars to get were they are now.

In my -very- humble opinion, you should wait at least a year before making big swinging changes or recommendations, most importantly in any big company.
Keep in mind, he was 95 and was forced into retirement by health issues over 20 years ago. If your base rate is based on two healthy people in their prime, that's a little different. It could be as simple as he found her dead or dying, tried to get help and had a heart attack from the stress or simply just fell. Reports are they weren't found for two weeks, which sadly could explain the dog.

Tragic situation all around, but I'm not ready to use a probability based argument to insist on foul play.
depends on your usecase:
- this abstracts away a lot of the complexity, including pagination and format conversion. Also integrated logging and schema validation.
- this is self-healing, so when data comes through that you have never seen before or if the api changes it is a lot less likely to break.
- if you need to integrate a lot of APIs, or if you have multiple apps needing access to these apis, it is much easier to set up here than writing 1000s of lines of integration code.
If none of this is important / applies to you and the generated code works well, then you could also just do that.
Definitely anecdata but that is what i see all around, I can't even convince my father, that has been in depression for years now, to take treatment seriously. I don't even know what to do anymore.

You may be extremely lucky, but these detectors come from everywhere, even could be from exactly some nuclear facility like Chernobyl, so contaminated with radioactive dust.

But, for Russian electronics exists good rule - handle in gloves and wipe with alcohol before use (sure than properly utilize used swabs).
So you will clear all dust from surface, and if you will not used to suck or crunch radio components you are in safety as from my own experience these detectors are really durable.
I believe the most stressful part of IT is that the job itself is stressful at times. I believe that in most jobs, the job itself isn't stressful, it's the people and the stresses of life due to low pay.

I think you've missed something important: none of these elements in Balatro are monetized. The only way the developer makes more money is through players telling other players how fun the game is, which convinces them to buy it.
I found that C programs rarely evolve beyond their initial design. The trouble is, it's hard to refactor C programs. For example,

struct S { int a; };
struct S s; s.a = 3;
struct S *p; p->a = 3;

I.e. a . is for direct access, -> for indirect access. Let's say you want to change passing S by value to passing S by pointer. Now you have to update every use, instead of just the declaration.

This is how it would work in D:

struct S { int a; }
S s; s.a = 3;
S* p; p.a = 3;
ref S q; q.a = 3;

And so refactoring becomes much easier, and so happens more often.

Yes, the criticisms of some of their policies and shortcomings are warranted. But you weren't discussing those. Instead, you characterized the USFS as primarily engaged in building roads and logging/deforestation. That is what I objected to. Yes, logging is part of what they manage -- to ensure that it's done in a sustainable and proper manner (without which, corporations would just take it all, especially if the federal lands were privatized). Now whether they are too cozy with the logging industry in some states, that may be the case -- but that's a regulatory/policy question, not at all solved by cutting the USFS.

Is apathy toward society—which is, really, only your local community you're trying to defend and not something that is universally significant or even objectively capable of growth and sustainability—a dire crime I've committed? Because I do not in fact care about the "society" thing.

And claiming to have technical skill while also claiming that technology is stopping you from creating is a contradiction. An artist would have the technical skill to make something, by definition of the concept of an artist. If within your epistemology you're separating technical skill from an artist's creativity, then you have a perception of art and engineering that is tainted by something unrefined and harmful like liberal democratic society's lowest common denominator preference. In other words, there should not be a difference between an artist and a technical engineer.

Furthermore, it's strange that, with all the current software out there, you said you are at an impasse when it comes to game creation or game development. Everything already is easy, not error prone, and performance acceptable. What are you waiting for, exactly? An artificial intelligence aid that will do all the work for you?

And, lastly, an increase of the development population does not necessarily mean a good thing. Because, why should a bunch of people always be a good thing? Why not cull away those that are unfit for some task too? Unless realizing the philosophy of globalist liberal democracy is what you're aiming for? In which case I can see why you're repulsed at the idea of reality encroaching in on your fantastic ideals. Ethno-genetic Malthusian filters and reality should now be recognized as being synonymous with each other, or two faces of the same coin.

This is a very interesting, novel take on explaining the delayed choice quantum eraser. I think I can summarize it as follows:

The signal photon hits the screen, which is a measurement. The entangled idler's wave function is thereby constrained by that measurement, influencing the probabilities of later detecting it at each of the D1-4 detectors. It's not that the fate/erasing of the idler changes the already committed path(s) of the signal. It's that the measurement of the signal constrains the subsequent detection of the idler.

Two other high quality discussions of eraser experiments are by Sean Caroll [0] and Sabine Hossenfelder [1]. Like the OP, both Sabine and Sean demystify/debunk these experiments.

These three discussions all use different language to explain the outcome, which is clearly predicted by the QM math. Sean's article includes the gist of the math.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my comment. I was talking about trains that can use grid or diesel engine to power those electric motors.

And hydrogen comment was about this: https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/articles/usdot-announc... . My tinfoil hat theory is that every carbon-fuel company pushing for hydrogen knowing well it's energy density isn't enough, so the experiment will fail, and they're going back to diesel saying that green tech isn't ready.
> Did you buy JD Vance on "free speech" in EU ?

You can find TONS of examples of people in Europe being jailed or having cops come to their house for something they said on social media. In some cases for things as simple as criticizing a politician.

Here’s a high profile one, but I can find you plenty more examples.

“Breach of peace” means he was saying something that they didn’t want him to say. This is a real curtailing of free speech.

>companies to trash DEI

DEI is often racist and many of its implementations in modern companies violate the civil rights act. Companies are correct to be ditching it because it poses a big risk for discrimination lawsuits.

I actually spoke with lawyers about this very recently and reverse discrimination lawsuits are a booming business right now because there are so many clear cut examples of violations of the civil rights act.

> There are and have been many techniques and projects for making C more memory-safe.

Sort of. None of them got all the way to safety, or they never got all the way to compatibility with C.

Fil-C is novel in that it achieves both safety and compatibility.

> The crucial question it always comes down to is what performance hit do you take using them?

Is that really the crucial question?

I don't think you would have even gotten to asking that question with most attempts to make C memory safe, because they involved experimental academic compilers that could only compile a subset of the language and only worked for a tiny corpus of benchmarks.

Lots of C/C++ code is not written with a perf mindset. Most of the UNIX utilities are like that, for example.

> That's why C has been on top for so long. Seat-of-the-pants hand-crafted C has always been the fastest high-level language.

I don't think that's the reason. C rose to where it is today even when it was much slower than assembly. C was slower than FORTRAN for a long time (maybe still is?) but people preferred C over FORTRAN anyway.

C's biggest superpower is how easy it makes it to talk to system ABI (syscalls, dynamic linking, etc).

> This is a really hard conversation to have in software, because when people think they can make something better with a lot of extra code, a lot of times they'll just do it, even if they know that other people think it's unnecessary. They put in the extra time on their own responsibility, thinking that the only downside is the initial work to write the code, and once it's done, it becomes an asset. It sucks to tell them that I'd rather not have it, that I'd rather have the easy version they could have done in an hour. I give in way more often than I'd like to.

I feel like that's a perfect case for making software more modular? Whether it's runtime plugins or compile-time options (with stable APIs and keeping things separate), it's possible to let people who want a feature have it without affecting anyone else.
Why did there need to be a targeted release date for a re-branded open source project release, to the point that it stressed out the team?

I'd agree it's not critical, but discard the assumption that requests within the data center will be fast. People have to send requests to third parties, which will often be slow. Hopefully not as slow as across the Atlantic, but still magnitudes worse than an internal query.

You will often be in the state where the client uses HTTP2, and the apps use HTTP2 to talk to the third party, but inside the data center things are HTTP1.1, fastcgi, or similar.
Honestly, I am more cynical and just think people are always looking for ways to make their jobs more interesting than they actually are.
My earliest contributions to opensource is probably k9mail. I was still early in my undergrad, and wanted to get my feet wet in the opensource space, and to prep for google summer of code. K9 mail was my choice since the community (cketti) was friendly, and accommodating.

I started implementing the long-press events to handle image/attachment menu options. My PR wasn't upto snuff, but cketti was kind enough to clean it up and merge it. They even put my handle in the commit logs. Looking back, I probably wasted their time with my PR, but they were gracious enough to not complain, and gave me credit.

I still fondly remember those days and nights building upto the pr, and then refreshing the commit log page to see my handle show up.

I hope cketti finds happiness with whatever they do next.

There's an article in IEEE software engineering proceedings around the turn of the millennium that said that defect count was closely associated with any complexity measure you wanted - - including lines of code.

Of course that as up to nearly 150%, which is probably most people's actual bug count...

In very simple words: it is one way to reduce the white squares in the picture from @danielhanchen[1].

In more complex words: imagine a processor which is able to process every instruction in 10 clock cycles. But also the processor is able to get new input for this instruction on every clock cycle and starts to process this new input in a pipeline. After the first input you have to wait ten clock cycles. But if you feed the input line every time you will get the output also permanently.

In the case of GPUs, it is now not only a topic of a single pipeline, but multiple in parallel. Depends on your data and algorithm it can be thousands in parallel.

(Founder/VC here) if you are in an area where there are VCs who invest in the thing you are founding, tell them that you are a solo founder working on an idea for X, and you would like to work from an office if they have a space you could do that from for a week. Just during business hours. Be a great guest. Polite, clean, quiet, etc.

Second option is that if you are a founder and you have a law firm you are working with, particularly a large startup one they have literal palace offices which alwyas have space. Ask then for if you can work for a week from an office space. Same deal.
