I'm not even specifically referring to this specific instance but rather in general.

They aren't even able to produce a list of requirements, so not only do you need a consultant to generate the list, they then need another consultant to work with whichever solution provider to meet the requirements.

This will cost astronomical amounts of money, take years and in the mean time, what is the solution other than the excel documents and better processes.

The excel document didn't fail the audit, the processes did. I guarantee if they followed correct processes and did it in physical ledgers an auditor will pass that audit, they sure would be annoyed about it though.
How is that an issue? You inspect the generated assembler. Godbolt is the industry standard tool for that, but of course just use objdump on the command line if a browser UI isn't your fancy.

Mixing C is helpful because most code doesn't need to be written in raw assembly.
Why can't Mozilla just be Firefox? I would donate to a group of open source developers, but I would not donate to a huge org chart tree of CxO's and VP's and non-technical administrators and administrators-of-administrators and assistants-to-administrators-of-administrators.

I was a bit surprised how many of the books here are by authors who are not generally known for science fiction (Margaret Atwood, Marie-Helene Bertino, Gish Jen, Colson Whitehead et al.)
Yeah, I'm not claiming it's an all-encompassing analogy.

Though you could argue Trump was always going on about tariffs, even as a supposed Democrat. Also Hitler's views radicalized dramatically over time. Or maybe more accurately, the ideas were constant, but their scope and ruthlessness expanded.
Frankly, mate, the answer is a bit too hipsterish. Of "you won't understand true underground anyway" sort. We're talking about productivity tools, if there are advantages they can be described even if subjectively.
> The DuckDB UI is also fully open source: visit the duckdb/duckdb-ui repository if you want to dive in deeper.

Is this really the case? The repo doesn’t seem to have any ui elements?
We have obnoxiously loud little people around and sometimes no matter what I say they forget or outright refuse simply stopping being obnoxiously loud.

noise cancelling headphones are a godsend, making the noise level bearable so we react reasonably and kindly despite obnoxiously loud little people.
It looks like US (edit: sugar-free) Slurpees contain 968 (Erythritol) and 955 (Sucralose) but it seems like the UK and Ireland mostly use glycerol in slushies so far.

Probably you can also add Dragit[1], which is a desktop p2p file sharing tool for local network with automatic host discovery. Currently supporting Linux and Windows. (author & maintainer here) I'm not sure if I should keep on working on the tool, considering the length of the list so far. :D

Yes, but they may not always work. While generally true there are still some edge cases.

SQL Server connections are one example where I do get .exe with the .pdb in the publish directory but the .exe won't run correctly without the "Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.dll" file.

Another example are any libraries that have "RequiresDynamicCodeAttribute" requirements.
In a past life I worked at AWS as a support engineer

I once got a ticket from T-Mobile (US) asking what "AWS's best practices were around security patching. How long should we wait?"

A week later they admitted to an enormous data breach

I'd say I switched phone carriers after that, but after working in the ISP market I already knew they were all absolute clown shows where all the money only went to C-levels and not infrastructure or security
Security issues/CVEs should never be used as a motivation to get off of a particular platform, otherwise we'd never use Linux, macOS, or Windows (I hope you're a fan of OpenBSD... sometimes).

If these issues remain unfixed after being disclosed, or a pattern of fixes that took much longer than you feel they should have, that's valuable ammunition as it shows the organization isn't responsive to security issues.
They hit the nail on the head. "These efficient models can save money, time and compute"

Even if your not trying to run tiny models on mobile devices like phones, smaller models mean less traffic, faster responses, and lower barriers to entry.
Don't overgeneralize. For years, myself and others have been saying that Tesla is overvalued, that there was no way they were worth more than all the other auto manufacturers on planet earth put together. All along we've been told we're wrong in our analysis, that Tesla is much more than just an auto manufacturer. They're an automotive technology developer, they're an energy company, they're a robotics company, they're a whatever. At Tesla's peak, their market capitalization nearly equaled Saudi Aramco, the largest energy company in the world! Tesla stock has been overdue for a correction and recent events are simply making people realize Tesla is a business, just like everybody else, and Elon doesn't wield a magic wand. So, the stock is correcting itself.
I would argue they didn't have to "open" it at all, they could have just built up from scratch.

However they chose to do it in the open, side benefit they also got to use a ton of preexisting code.
That's still a pretty short distances. I think in Ultramarathon, humans would win.
How's NeXTSTEP for a11y?
Sure, but what programming language or its standard guarantees it (and its compilers in practice, of course), then?

You said "Your compiler might change tomorrow.", but does it not apply to EVERY programming language's compiler?

What is dynamic offset? And what are you missing from the existing layouts the existing dynamic WMs already deliver?

Isn't this impossible with Linux, as the WM has no control over the application on that level? Maybe through accessibility-settings you can gain them on a per app-basis. But this seems more a problem of Desktop Environments than Window Managers.

Text, images, and things of that class - human communication tools - are much higher level than guns.

Human communication tools are responsible for, say, the holocaust. At its core, you can distill the holocaust to that. Or choose any tragedy, really.

I think what we’re dealing with is much worse than we are giving it credit. I’m envisioning the death of trust as a concept itself. Such has never before been faced by humanity, and I don’t know if even our biological social circuits can handle it.

We’re already half way there. It’s trivial to convince large amount of people of something that isn’t true, and then get them to act on that belief. It just requires some time and some money. Remove the time and the money requirement and I don’t know where we land.
I would say I think those are all pretty good observations, all perfectly true and I think AGI is more plausible than it's ever been in light of what we've demonstrated via LLMs. Our understanding really is that limited but I don't take it to be a counterpoint to the prospect of AGI.

That's why they added 'use UPnP to poke a hole in the router'. Which will work on most networks, though CGNAT will still break it if IPv6 isn't available.

There are plenty of other tools out there that can send files between devices. Google+Samsung's Nearby Share work pretty much everywhere. KDE Connect works on any device I can think of. I wish Google+Samsung would make it an open standard but I'm guessing they won't do it so they can rewrite the app whenever they please.

The biggest, and IMO only, problem for AirDrop competitors is that they're not pre-installed on iPhones and iPads while AirDrop is. AirDrop is nothing special in itself, though Apple did implement it in a rather weird way. All you need to mimic it is Bluetooth (BLE if you're fancy) for handshakes and WiFi Direct for transfers.

the first idea that came to my mind is to use obsidian.md (or another markdown editor) with the git plugin. Markdown supports frontmatter, that allows you to add metadata to docs. It also supports cross-links between documents.

You could even go full zettlekasten (generate IDs that include timestamps), if you want to version documents more explicitly.
Most of the options you're talking about are client side sessions and even then are limited. That's certainly the case in Flask, FastAPI, Starlette.

Compare that to say, Django, Laravel, etc.

I really don't think this is about people being "open" or not. I think it is strictly about inappropriate questions from the manager. They probably think they're "establishing rapport" or "building team cohesion" or something but what they're really doing is sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. It's inappropriate prying and bad management.
Point is, not in the astrophycisists’ use of the word (and not really in any other use either – metallic hydrogen is not a metal, just behaves in some aspects like metal). To astrophysicists, hydrogen is not a metal by definition, which is literally "everything except hydrogen and helium". No matter how exotic a phase.

Nb. The subset of astronomers who call everything after helium "metals" is mostly disjoint from the subset that’s interested in gas giant interiors.
Green coffee beans typically last around 1-2 years in storage. Given most home roasters store them inside, in climate controlled places, that figure is likely closer to the 2 yr mark. Most green coffee is stored in unconditioned warehouses and lasts just fine for months.

They usually only 'go bad' in that they tend to lose flavor and punchiness over time for most home storage. For warehouse storage in jute bags, they tend to get a 'baggy' flavor eventually which is unpleasant.
And also stay aligned with the correct faction. This also provides golden handcuffs: should one's alignment change, past misdeeds will instantly be remembered.

Let's flip this around and see if it still fits:

"the PM can't be expected to sit in meetings all day, they need to learn the coding side of it too so they know the potential limitations of the features they want to suggest"

But if a PM does have a technical question, they don't need to go google stuff and figure it out - they ask a developer.

Likewise, when a developer has a product question, why can't they rely on a PM to answer that for them? Why must we also be expected to be in customer meetings and putting in extra effort, when PMs definitely won't put in effort to learn the technical side?
I looked around to get confirmation, and I did find some related issues. Seems like it works properly when context is defined explicitly. There also appears to be a warning logged about "truncating input prompt", so it isn't an entirely silent failure.

You need to separate intent from messaging, it's how the game is played.

The US is taking a strong lead in brokering a deal. It got Ukraine and the EU to make large concessions (mineral deal, extra EU defense spending) to signal to the US that they are serious about peace and serious about heavily contributing to it to make it possible.

If Russia's public answer to this is: NO, I will not even lift a finger, then they open themselves up to US scrutiny because they admitted they are 100% unwilling.

As you rightfully put, they are already unwilling, but saying it is another thing. It's much better to go into a peace negotiation suggesting you're willing, than to block any talks at all.

What does US scrutiny look like? I have no idea. It could mean more sanctions, more weapon deliveries. Or it could mean nothing at all. I can't read this administration, it's so random.
That is actually usually not that bad (if there is, you know, revenue). What is really bad is when those teams start to roll out a lot of custom code that other teams need to use. If they are just configuring standard tools for everyone else it is usually fine (as long as they are not going to crazy with it).
It is not just the cost of inputs.

Ammonia synthesis is a high-pressure high-temperature process. One of the reasons to use a continuous steady-state process is that cycling it up and down causes thermal and pressure fatigue in the reactor. The safe operating life of a reactor can be surprisingly short if it is not operated at a steady state. If you want this to scale, it needs to be low maintenance and have a long operating life.

You could in principle centralize ammonia production with sufficient reactant reserves to ensure continuous production from variable low-density energy sources like solar or wind. However, this would require hydrogen pipelines that largely don't exist and would take a long time to build. We can't repurpose existing natural gas infrastructure and similar because they weren't built with alloys resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. One of the big economic advantages of using methane for ammonia is that it takes advantage of the millions of kilometers of natural gas distribution pipeline that already exists.

I'm not averse to the idea but the enthusiastic proponents are pretending like the practical realities of industrial chemistry don't apply to them. We aren't going to get to a green future with rainbows and unicorns, we need to brutally realistic about the true requirements.
It's either unfounded as written (it might be sensible with more support), or it needs a notion of responsibility that's so broad as to be useless.

Everything in your past light cone alters your thoughts to some degree. To be considered responsible for discoveries, the alteration needs to be significant and be in a way that the discovery wouldn't have happened without it. Significance is pretty much a given, there are plenty of drugs that significantly alter thoughts. But "wouldn't have happened without it" is a big assumption that, at the very least, is not supported by the argument I was replying to.
Proposal that led to the World Wide Web
Fastplotlib is very different from bokeh and holoviz, and has different use cases.

Bokeh and holoviz send data to a JS front end that draws (to the best of my knowledge), whereas fastplotlib does everything on the python side and uses jupyter_rfb to send a compressed frame buffer when used in jupyter. Fastplotlib also works as a native desktop application in Qt and glfw, which is very different from bokeh/holoviz.
Fastplotlib also has higher raw render speed, you can scroll though a 4k video at 60Hz with thousands of extra objects on your desktop which I haven't ever been able to accomplish with bokeh (I haven't tried it in years, not sure if things have changed)

The events system is also very different, we try to keep the API to simple function callbacks in fastplotlib.

At the end of the day use the best tool for your use case :)
The gray market for peptides is pretty fascinating. I've spent the last month exploring it and interacting with some of the Chinese entrepreneurs involved, as well as the informal regulatory functions provided by self-organizing groups of buyers who pool their resources to test the products and share experiences. It's a surprisingly wholesome kind of shady.

An enterprising shopper can stock years worth of semaglutide or tirzepatide, or even the newer medicines still in trials like cagrilintide, retatrutide, mazdutide, survodutide, et cetera -- for a monthly treatment cost of less than $100. Heck, you can get max dose sema for $5/month. Which, putting aside the legal/IP and risk issues for a moment, is a good thing for the people who will likely be on these medicines for the rest of their lives.

Having a less obese population would have so many positive impacts on our quality of life, healthcare system, and economy. I hope that somehow these medicines become cheap and plentiful enough that people can take them prophylactically.
The other option is Google docs, or similar, which has both cross-links and version history; but you can't link to a specific version of a document, as far as I know. You can however have multiple "document tabs", and that can work as multiple versions too.
I know this exists, but while the implementation in iOs is excellent, I see that a very awkward-looking datepicker shows up in Chrome.

Some things that one can think of as missing:

- Masking (Being able to display "Wednesday, 12th of March 2028")

- Callbacks for enabling/disabling days (for dates)

- Ranges for searches.
Also they're just lying, ice cream would cost more on hot days due to demand
Come on, that has literally nothing to do with a relatively tiny software company failing to collect VAT at another country's whims.
Does it really need a control when many countries across the globe have independently tried it out and reached the same conclusion? I would say the results are pretty clear.
The online demo looks great and promising, too bad it's unusable for me. I've tried installing it with conda from conda-forge and no luck. I've tried installing it with pip, the same. I've also cloned the repository from github, tried to build it and failed, but I don't remember the details.

Why is some software so difficult to install beats me.
Seems like such a simple fix though... Blur the shared photos unless you tap preview. Or unless it's coming from someone you have in your contacts. Or just not have it show the preview at all and obviously you would decline files from someone you aren't expecting to receive files from.

Or the simple fix of just not having this P2P transfer option always enabled. It should be off until you toggle it on because you and someone you are with want to transfer a file.
I use Brave and am satisfied with it. The occasional hassle involved in turning things off when a new unwanted feature shows up or when I have to install it on a new machine is worth it for uBlock Origin and the Chromium performance and compatibility.

However the theoretical downside of Brave is that as Google continues changing Chromium's codebase, there's incentive for them to make it harder and harder to maintain a manifest v2-enabled fork. Wouldn't be surprised if extensive refactors randomly happen that multiply the effort needed to merge changes from upstream while maintaining the v2 capability. And how motivated is Brave to do all this labor? At some point they're going to say the tax is too high, we have a nice built-in ad blocker anyway, just use that.

A well-maintained, funded, and focused Firefox would be a good thing for when that day comes.

Both hydrogen and carbon are also readily available from the environment.

Synthesizing hydrocarbon analogues of fossil fuels (petrol, kerosene, diesel, bunker fuel[1]) is possible and has been theoretically demonstrated.[2] The problem is that it's not economically feasible, in large part due to structural market failures in the price of petroleum.[3]

Physical abundance of the constituent elements has little to do with production costs of the resultant fuel.

And hydrocarbons are vastly preferable to ammonia as fuels for all kinds of reasons: energy density, noncorrosive nature,[4] non-toxicity, convenience in general handling and storage, etc., etc., etc. So long as you're synthesizing fuels, make it the good stuff, not poison.

________________________________

Notes:

1. That last is probably a non-starter. It's harder to synthesize longer-chain hydrocarbons, so far as I'm aware, and the primary driver of bunker oil for marine propulsion is that it's an otherwise low-value surplus from conventional petroleum production, even a large fraction of much extraction, e.g., Venezuela's very tarry petroleum,and Canada's tar sands. Lighter fractions would be easier to synthesize and more attractive as fuels.

2. For about 60 years, including research at Brookhaven National Labs, M.I.T., and the US Naval Research Lab, as well as with a Google moonshot project. A list of sources is here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28970111>

3. A deep topic, but given the fact that we're extracting petroleum at roughly 1 million times its rate of formation, and in a highly unsustainable fashion, there's a fair argument that petroleum ought to be priced about 1 million times its current market price. The economics of nonrenewable resource extraction is grossly irrational and divorced from physical and geological realities. On rates of formation, Jeffrey S. Dukes, "Burning Buried Sunshine" (2003) <https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/5212176.pdf> (PDF). Previous discussions: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...>

4. Indeed hydrocarbons are routinely used as lubricants and protectives for metals and other materials.
WebRTC, in fact, merely passes e2e encrypted packets through the TURN server (which, by the way, is only required if both sides are behind symmetric NAT: the vast majority of NAT doesn't cause this problem, though you might need to do STUN).
Well, I just explained you why. Firefox subsidizes the mothership which is doing a lot of non-Firefox activities. When you carve out Firefox, the mothership is gone.
