It’s moments like these that I hate being a hoarder - just can’t let go of the dusty old gear lying around ;)

Btw one could get company sponsorship for a ewaste container so that one doesn’t have to take stuff back home - after all it’s the big companies that produce this stuff and then make it redundant. Perhaps ewaste could be segregated by company to see who is the biggest “offender” - I’m sure there’s many a Fritz box lying around…

I'm unwilling to share that json here, because of the implications.

I'll add telcos to this list. Absolutely the worst customers to have. Net90 paid on time was a good thing.
This is such a nice idea. I love it!

I bought my first Motorola phone in 2013 and am a happy user ever since. I usually buy the current Moto G model for less than 200€ and get a solid 3-4 years of use of it. Of course you can't expect the performance of these phones to be comparable to high end models, but for my use case they are perfectly fine. Also if you drop a sub 200€ smartphone, you don't get a mini heart attack like when you drop a 1000€ iPhone :-)
my guess would be batman.js
I sincerely apologize again if you found my response offensive. You can contact your local police to make a complaint, I suppose.
There's nothing wrong with that. There is something off about posting anti-AI comments on a phone review, just because you spotted the word AI in it.

I'm just tired of the AI hate on what's supposed to be an intellectually curious site.
Why the 2020 unemployment insurance checks were an additional $600 a week, rather than say, “We're going to replace 80% of your income”?

> how their COBOL systems made updating them very technically complex…It was just too technically complicated in the time available to program 80% or replacement rates. And so they just slapped on adding $600 a week to everyone's check because that was technically easier.
Are you planning on adding any stealth measures?

The first site (Idealista) I tried it on flagged and blocked me / my home IP as a bot within 10 seconds.
Yeah it's definitely going through text still. I tried to get it to sing a song so it output some lyrics and then read them as a poem.

I did manage to get it to output "la la la la" and then it kind of sang them with a random melody.

It also can't say things loud and its idea of whispering for me was to say "pst".

Still apart from that it's very impressive!
Thanks! Yeah, for analog the case is obvious, both because there's no such thing as an analog FPGA and because smaller feature size comes with big drawbacks for analog; that's why I said, "why would you fab a digital design in 130nm". The others I'm less sure about, but they do sound plausible.
Did you at any point in the story stared at the lamp, and someone called to you…. And you had a wife and child?
Rust is a general purpose programming language not just systems programming language.
Doubt it. Its biggest use will be voice assistants.
This seems backwards to me. Labour can leave; someone can get on a plane in the UK where they get taxed 40%, and arrive in Dubai where they're taxed 0. Their buildings and assets can't come with them however. Capital that's not ethereal assets like stocks, shares, credit, etc, can't be moved. If you want to leave the country you need to become liquid, which means you sell off your assets and whoever is left in the country gets to buy them at cheaper rates.

The issue is when we allow people who do not live or pay tax in this country to make profit on assets in said country. A landlord who lives in the Cayman Islands should not be able to collect rent on UK assets while not paying the UK government tax in turn.
The most immediate application for this might be in replacing call centers in various roles. And most of those are very conversational.

For example tech support is in large parts about making the caller feel heard and getting them to do trouble shooting steps without feeling stupid. Sales is in large parts about getting the right person to talk to you and to keep them talking to you.
I think part of the issue is for the latency to be as low as this they have to tune their speech to text to find endpoints in very small increments and then send the text to the model immediately.

So unless the system has a lot of engineering and/or training put into the main model being able to recognize exactly when it should keep waiting versus a real response, it will just see something like "user: empty response" or "user: uhmm" and assume it is supposed to respond to that.
Or if your marginal cost is small (eg, if your primary product is software) so a slow or delinquent payer doesn't actually cost you anything.

Text-To-Speech models still aren't trained on rich enough data to have all the nuances we need to be fully expressive. For example, most models don't have a way to change accents separately from language (e.g. English with a slight French accent) or have an ability to set emotions such as excitement or sleepiness.

We aren't even talking about adding laughing, singing/rap or beatboxing.

Don't be silly. Have a look at all the waste that is being claimed and you will notice that the things that are questionable (apart from the irrigation in Afghanistan, which had some unfortunate effects) all sin up to less than a half percent of the USAID budget.

Plus that the people doing the cutting have no clue what they are doing. First the 50 millions dollars for hamas condoms and then not even knowing how government contracts work. It is like watching the evening of amateurs, but where the stakes are people's lives and the world order.
CFLAGS are flags for the C compiler. It could totally change the interpretation of the semantics. C89 != C23.

Is this using ”dotfiles” as a general term for ”text based configuration files”? Is this a thing?

I only have two actual dotfiles on my system (git and one more)
Basically yes, but you have to generate the GDS-II from your Verilog yourself, you have to pay them several thousand dollars, the turnaround time is nearly a year, and your first and maybe second and third tapeout will probably have bugs that keep it from working at all.
For the biggest part of my life it seemed that all these technical accomplishments were the work of untouchable geniuses, but reading this story is also very telling about the value of long-term friendship and financial/societal stability to support each other's explorations.
The author seems to be really proficient in the live coding exercise regardless, and according to the comments is in the top 2% of LeetCode contest takers. There's probably a decent chance that he'd get the intern job regardless.

But this does point to a weird trend in the industry, where the bar is being artifically raised by people who attempt to cheat at interviews. At my job we had one interview where the guy was visibly reading off of ChatGPT (reflection in glasses, weird stops).

Wait, so you've been turning DNS into a remote debugging and netflow/log analysis protocol?

I tried to understand the code and how it's used among the nodes. The thoughts in my head right now are similar to "wow this is so cool but I have no idea what it does".

I've been experimenting with DNS a lot lately, and e.g. used DNS exfil techniques to build a mesh router (mostly for privacy related reasons). [1]

But this kind of protocol layer inside PTR/TXT/URI(?) records could be really useful, as it could bypass firewalls which is super important while remote debugging a potentially compromised node. With DNSSEC or OPT record support, you could probably also reflect an authentication workflow, so that the following sessions could be handled in an encrypted-per-session manner.

There is a limit due to the need to keep model responses nearly instant and the trade off that smaller models that are generally capable of that have. Unless you have unique hardware

Editing Go with VS Code
Thanks a million for the comment! I'll surely try and get in touch with Lokalise and Loco when I have the entire API set up. It seems that the project could go well in the near future given its quality. I'm Spaniard and Spanish to English translations are basically perfect on +90% of the cases.

Just for fun, I added Filipino and Arabic to the tool (https://arcalate.vercel.app/). I've tried out your sentence "Don't forget to share your referral code or link so you can get attractive bonuses." and Arcalate Deep Translate spit out:

"Huwag kalimutan na ibahagi ang iyong referral code o link upang makuha ang mga kahalina-halinang benepisyo."

No idea how good it is, though. It doesn't look like the one you mentioned nor Google's.
Sounds reasonable, especially for the first time such an event is held.
What's the 'active' page ? Wasn't aware of it.
I have never had the full on hallucination of a specific object where one is not. All I have ever had, visually, is -- and here I struggle to find the words to precisely describe my perception -- that kind of dynamic ornamentation which feels like there is some sort of echo and even the equivalent of audio speaker/microphone "feedback" in my processing of visual data. Here the infamous Bad Trip involved the feedback being so strong that allowing my visual, auditory, or tangible perception to rest on any one thing for more than about half a second to cause that stimulus to bloom into overwhelming amounts of stacked and subdivided repeats of the original stimulus, such that I dare not rest my eyes on any one thing as I, at the same time, must tune my hearing from one group of sounds to another, my attention scampering about to keep the intensity at a more tolerable level.
I find Rust super ergonomic for any kind of app. The memory management aspect is trivial and second nature to anyone used to unmanaged languages, and the type system equally is not difficult to understand.

It's a general purpose language, but it does give you full control. Plus, of course, you can encode a large amount of program states in the type system and borrowing checks enforce rules that programmers usually have to check in their head.

I find that when I write Rust, I have to worry about an order of magnitude less about silly things like lifetime bugs, reference bugs, resource cleanup, all of which are 80% of my job when I write C#, or other similar managed languages.

Plus Rust can generate a static executable, which is reasonably small, and doesn't require a third party runtime.
Good dependency management, a rich package ecosystem, defaults to static binaries which are easy to distribute and a tendency to be fast (even if it’s just the lack of startup overhead) make it a popular choice.

It also helps that rust attracts the kind of devs that make nice tools.
KSP2 Redux
I guess I shouldn’t have that expectation. Perhaps it’s because on Earth we see nearby objects aligning with each other because they have been shaped by similar forces, or because they influence each other. But perhaps galaxies don’t interact with each other enough to result in any kind of alignment.
Honestly, Rust is a breeze to make CLI/TUI apps in. Some crates worth looking into: tokio (mostly for stuff built on top of it), clap, promptly, colored, ratatui. These are just a few ones to get you started, but there's lots more depending on what you need to accomplish!

> I read the parent as saying that a plurality of voters voted to circumvent the constitution and dismantle the republic, and therefore, a resulting despotism would just be democracy in action, so to speak.

From an outsider's point of view, that was not the people voted for.

When repeatedly pressed on Project 2025, Trump distanced from it and reassured the American people those were just vicious rumors to denigrate him. The campaign was centered on how Biden was old and senile and responsible for every problem ranging from egg prices to Trump's retreat from Afghanistan. Trump's promises were that inflation would be eliminated, jobs would be created, and minority rights would cease to be a part of the US government agenda.

What the Trump administration is implementing bears no resemblance to his program, and looks like a complete dismantlement of the United States of America, including a complete rejection of it's core values.

You seem very confused about several different points here.

1. Deposits often fund loans. If deposits were never used to fund loans as you describe, most banks would have at least as many cash or HQLAs as they do deposit liabilities. Check any deposit-taking bank's balance sheet to see that this is not the case.

2. If banks do buy government bonds with deposits, that still does not negate the funds being invested. The government now has the money and will spend it. Again, you can quickly check the governments do not hold piles of cash and the vast majority of the money that they borrow is spent on their activities.

3. It is axiomatically untrue that 'savings are removed from the economy'. Savings means that someone consumes less than they produce. That production must either be consumed by someone else, or add to the stock of capital. It cannot disappear.
I would expect some push back but for latinx in particular it's possible long standing immigrants are proud of bilingualism and want English as state language to stamp their difference from more recent entries.

Frankly, I feel like it goes even further than CSS. People don't really talk about HTML that much, probably just because it doesn't change as much as JS frameworks, etc. But that doesn't mean you should ignore it completely and just use a bunch of divs!

When you start digging into all the different HTML elements and aria guidelines (for example, the differences between `<nav />` and `<menu role="menubar" />`), I think development starts to be a bit more clear, because you start to see how your tools are intended to be used. I think it also makes decisions around CSS styling more clear. And as a bonus, your code just starts becoming more accessible, which is nice.

Perhaps CSS was a mistake? Before that, text was sized as the user configured it, so they got what they wanted.

I am been using FOSS and commercial source management tooling since 1998, and the very fact that Linus only bothered with git due to BitKeeper changing their licence, proves that there was nothing special about it, other than personality and adoption wave.
It's a bit like the <center> tag. A codebase that's littered with stuff like "InlineStack" is harder to work with and parse because the resulting div soup still requires extra styling, which is now both markup and CSS.

There is a difference between understanding and coding a full application like 1990's.
I think he means Dart code resembles C# pretty closely.
Because sometimes you just need a flex wrapper. And it's easier to see InlineStack everywhere in your JSX than deciphering the layout from mixed CSS. Whereas plain CSS separates some concerns away from HTML, it also intermingles different concerns together, like layout, positioning, spacing, look & feel, etc. At least with structural or utility components like Stack, Group, Flex, or whatever it makes it more obvious what the intent is.

For all we know, causality (or simply put - the past) is simply a feature of being, i.e. the product of now, as opposed to now being the product of causality. We think that we transition from now to a different now through causality, but maybe we transition through some other means and a continuous past is simply a byproduct.
Sure. Here are some resources:

* Span<T>: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2018...

* C# now has a limited borrow checker-like mechanism to safely handle local references: https://em-tg.github.io/csborrow/

* Here is a series of articles on the topic: https://www.stevejgordon.co.uk/writing-high-performance-csha...

* In general, avoid enterprise style C# (ie., lots of class and design patterns) and features like LINQ which allocate a lot of temporaries.

Then folks should not complain about Google taking over the Web, when being part of the problem.

We managed to write cross platform games and applications across 8 and 16 bit home computers, but apparently that is too complicated to architect for Chrome as App adopters.

We moved from self-hosted Discourse to hosted Discourse.
The transfer was initiated late from the Mozilla side (my bad) and the automatic system from Discourse kicked in.
This reminds me of a project I worked on for a Very Big Airplane Manufacturer where--again--trying to avoid retesting and recertification was a high priority. Existing code needed to be migrated with plausible sameness.

Fortunately for my own peace of mind, the software in question wasn't safety-critical. Probably the worst it could do is lock everyone out from the in-flight Wi-Fi while regurgitating roll of printer paper.

In language “interrogatives” are words related to asking questions. Who, what, where, when, why are all called interrogatives.

It’s definitely a less common usage but as you say it has the sense of questing or probing or feeling out. For me it belongs to a higher register of language, it’s a word I might use in that sense when writing a report or a formal email or something of that nature.
I think it means actual Batman. The web dev who uses this framework is encouraged to roleplay Batman.
