Who is choosing anything but Kotlin for new projects on the JVM?

The point is that beyond some basic typing things, programs written in Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam will all have the same core structure. Immutable data plus pattern matching plus BEAM processes has a pretty strong affect on any BEAM language.

Subtracting the politics but including the actual range, do you regret the purchase?
It really doesn't have to take more than 10-15 minutes per day in total, you just have to be aware of what you're doing. I know several examples — including myself — who eat healthy food on a budget and spend very little time doing it. We had our problems with American-style food when it appeared and became popular (I had a BMI of 30.5 for several years and blamed everything but myself), but quickly self corrected before real damage was done.

Idle draw is a pretty common complaint for Teslas.
> You can’t just ignore his first term

I don't ignore. I just say, if you are programmer you must understand, 10 years is millennia for computers, and federal level is one of most affected fields.

So, if Biden don't use new technologies effectively, does not mean, these technologies are not valuable.

And nobody is better than trio of Musk-Bezos-Zuckerberg in using new technologies, and they agree to cooperate with federal government.

This new pivot is something very special, for some reason, Biden have not such tight relations with independent tech leaders (and Trump on first presidency also failed to do this).

https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/...

So, what I trying to say, President should not do all things himself, this is just direct violation of management best practices (in management such violation named micromanagement). Instead, President should hire best managers and delegate key functions to them, so they will do best possible. And that is what we exactly see now.

For about timing, scientific management also have direct answers - from change tops to begin work need at least two months, plus at least one full month of work. So adequate people with really good understanding, usually considering to see some results after first 100 days of new top executive.
> Government currencies are volatile too

Nowhere near to the same extent.

Just over the past year BTC has gone between $54K and $104K.

Currencies are subject to inflation, but in a well managed economy that is generally a single digit yearly percentage and fluctuates slowly, and the currency changes value in a single direction only.

Normal government currencies don't gain or lose 10% of their value over a few days in purchasing power, as regularly happens with Bitcoin.

"The big suppliers can ratchet up prices with zero consequences. What are you gonna do about it?"

If I was that bothered about eggs, I'd simply grow my own. Americans on average have way more space to mess around in than say most Europeans - the place is fucking huge. Chickens are very easy to "grow your own".

I'm not an American and clearly you have managed to get your collective knickers in a twist over a non issue, which almost certainly means that there is a bigger picture and a rather more important issue that really needs fixing.

Please stop fiddling whilst Rome burns.

Would love to see this next to the top links on Twitter.
Musk would not be in prison if Trump hadn't won - these claims happened before, and failed before, Trump lost to Biden, after all - because nobody really gives a shit about the sort of false advertising/bullshit that Musk spews. There's a general "good faith" assumption that you have to REALLY blatantly be breaking like Theranos to get in trouble. Being irrationally stupidly optimistic is seen as OK compared to knowingly dishonest.

Hell, Trump isn't in prison and he's had more failed businesses than Elon, and made just as many or more political enemies.

But maybe we should care more about that. Irrationally optimistic claims that people believe - cause how would they know you're full of shit before the second, third, fourth, fifth time around - still influence a ton of decisions, and it would be easy to not make them until the tech is actually there.

A world where lying has no consequences only increases the burden on everyone.

>The best licenses are BSD and MIT and others of that sort; they have no naive pretense of not helping corporations: everyone can do almost whatever they want, be they a large business or an individual. These licenses also don't encourage unlevel playing fields where the copyright proprietor enjoys dominance in the ecosystem.

The project owner ALWAYS has dominance in the ecosystem. At least with GPL the owner is protected from someone else scooping up the project to make a closed version. How would you feel if you made an awesome open project only for someone to copy it and close the source, make minor changes, and sell it without even giving you the changes? That crap is not possible with GPL.

I wonder how this will affect macOS security, since SPTM is not used according to Apple documentation: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/operating-system-in...

For now, I think existing exclaves such as the one that displays the camera indicator do not really apply to macOS (since MacBooks have dedicated hardware for that), but in the future there might be exclaves that do.
Two reasons:

- Elk is ambiguous. There's an Elk/Wapiti in North America, Central Asia, and East Asia, and another species of deer referred to as an "Elk" by people in Eurasia, but which is known as a "Moose" in North America.

- Because journalists these days don't have time to look these kinds of things up. The original paper only refers to it as wapiti/cervus canadensis/deer. If the whoever wrote that article knew it refers to an elk, they'd have pointed that out for the reader.
Historically you could make money by holding Bitcoin for over four year but El Salvador gave up before that and they never bought much to begin with.

The other aspects like remittances and Bitcoin-based retail payments were always terrible ideas. Not surprisingly that's where their losses come from.
Can you describe how you used LLMs for deployment? I'm actually doing this exact thing but I'm feeling annoyed by DevOps and codebase setup work. I wonder if I'm just being too particular about which tools I'm using rather than just going with the flow

I didn’t write that it’d be political opponents. I think they’re going to use military mobilization, or threat thereof (perhaps after a couple cities are made examples of) to push some of the enormous cost and manpower requirements of the mass deportations they want, onto cities and states instead of the federal budget and personal.

I don’t think this will make the deportations as effective as they say they want, but it might accomplish some major political goals (very-visibly stick it to cities, and give red state politicians the opportunity to curry favor and gain points with MAGA by burning local and state tax dollars) and effect some amount of what they want on the deportation front.

This is the most charitable and non-alarmist reason I can think of that Trump would have ordered the reports re: the appropriateness of invoking the insurrection act. I also think it’s the most likely.

[edit] but maybe the reports (from members of his own cabinet) will come back and be all “nah, not justifiable” and he’ll be all “yeah, that’s cool, I didn’t really have any use for it in mind anyway”

I used to get the woodpecker, and some very ominous semi-continuous monotonous hums in human hearing ranges with occasional tweedle. And the lincolnshire poacher. Or, something very like it.

This was 70s Edinburgh, with a long-line antenna strung from my window to a tree about 50m away. I tried to make a dipole out of it, not sure it really worked. The radio was WW2 bomber surplus store, about 15U high and probably some precursor to a 19" rack width. you swapped out brick sized tuning blocks to reset it's frequency bands and then used a blade-overlap condenser tuner. I also used bakelite headphones, no soft foam. Hardcore! We had a better one downstairs with a vernier which tuned more accurately, consistently and it did MW for BBC radio. When FM became more common we got a small philips and it sat next to it, doing the hard work.

Shortwave picked up a lot. I was too young to understand what QSL cards would be about otherwise I would have some.
The average price for a used Y has dropped more than $6,000 over the last 12 months to about $30K this month, as shown in the CarGurus chart below. If you go back even further to March 2023, the bottom has dropped out of Model Y pricing, falling more than $20,000.

Is much of that driven by the price of new Model Ys declining? I bought one last year and (after accounting for rebates/incentives) it was less than half the price of a few years ago. That may suck for people who bought at the high price and want to resell, because of course they won't be able to sell a used Model Y for more than a new one, so that puts a hard upper limit on the value of used ones. But it's kind of awesome for the rest of us.
Half the human beings alive today are descended from the Yamnaya: new research
Investors love to hang engineers when things don’t go according to plan, but the reality is that R+D means doing something where the outcome is totally unknown.

Time blows out and things don’t go the way you expect: it’s nearly unavoidable. Something like 30% of projects (anecdotal) are never finished and 85% (from a study) go over time and budget. The whole time, the end of the line seems like it’s just around the corner.

It’s super scary, yes, but that’s why deep tech investment is at an all time low in western countries. China’s dominant attitude - not being scared of it - is also why China is winning across the board in EVs and deep tech.

Perfection isn’t a human trait: actually, holding others to perfection but not yourself is a sign of diagnosable narcissism. Therefore when someone seems to be trying their best, I think it needs to be interpreted in good faith and not as a criminal offence if they don’t meet their mark.
This is a whole lot of pedantry to avoid questioning your own beliefs, which isn't surprising, because once you accept the cold hard reality that justice comes from the bottom up, not the top down, it means you have a personal responsibility to do so something if you want justice, and that's a hard reality to accept, so it's easier to live in comfortable denial.

The solution to the problem in question is about 9 lines of very simple code. In a 45 minute interview, that is 5 minutes per line available. It's about 1 character every 40 seconds. I think anyone can get flustered and mess up. It's possible for someone, on a bad day, lack of sleep, hung over, experiencing an anxiety attack to mess this up, but it's really really a stretch. This is a VERY EASY task, and if someone has done it before there's nothing sneaky or hard to do here. The version where you match different kinds of braces is very slightly more complicated but actually less lines of code.

Yes maybe someone can't come up with this in an interview. My point is 99.99% of the time when someone fails this they are lying about their work history or they are so stupid they can't hope to do the job. 00.01% of the time they could do this easily and the stars aligned to give them a rare bad day. The best way to deal with that is to just assume everyone who fails this can't do the work, and the 00.01% person just interviews somewhere else and doesn't have another bad day. I don't even know what the alternative to that is, just hire everyone who claims to be qualified and hope for the best? Give everyone who demonstrates very very strong incompetence signals 2 or 3 more tries?

This was one of the most wicked cool things I've read in a long time.

I grew up in a TV market that was UHF only (South Bend, IN) in the 1970s. TVs from before about 1963(?) didn't have to have UHF dials. So a company named Blonder-Tongue (Blonder was pronounced like blunder) produced UHF receivers you could attach to your TV through the little screw tab things on the back, the predecessor to the coax input. I had never seen Blonder-Tongue referenced anywhere except in nostalgia articles about my hometown.

False, read TFA. It says the opposite -- there are effects on insulin secretion and resistance for aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. Only studies funded by the food industry say there is no effect.
I’m not sure the number of wires chewed through by mice really affects the maintenance costs of any car. While possible, it’s rare enough not to register things like oil, filters, coolant, sparkplugs, etc and the massive amount of things that require maintenance in ICE vs BEV.

It’s not they there are no costs, it’s that costs are exponentially lower.
The distinction between government and crypto currencies is wrong one to make.

I fail to see how gold-pegged, gasselized (demurraged at constant rate until they vanish down to UBI limit, except from government/CB wallets, with other assets also demurraged when sold/bought via cap gains style taxes), constant supply cryptocurrency would not be in fact better than the dollar and the euro and the yen, and it would be both inflation & deflation resistant.
Blood test may not be reliable indicator of magnesium in the body.

from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6316205/

Of clinical importance, around 0.3% of total body magnesium is found in serum. Thus, total and/or ionized magnesium concentrations measured in plasma or serum are not reliable markers of total magnesium levels in the body; as serum magnesium does not reflect the total magnesium content at the tissue or organs, and is also a poor indicator of intracellular magnesium content.

Emerging evidence suggests that the serum magnesium/calcium quotient (0.4 is optimal, 0.36–0.28 too low) is a more practical and sensitive indicator of magnesium status and/or turnover, than the serum magnesium level alone [19]. In chronic latent magnesium deficiency, magnesium levels in the blood are within a normal range, despite there being severely depleted magnesium content in the tissues and bones. Therefore, using magnesium levels in the blood to determine total magnesium levels in the body can result in underestimation of magnesium deficiency in healthy and diseased populations. Recent studies have shown that individuals with serum magnesium levels around 1.82 mg/dL (0.75 mmol/L) are most likely to have a magnesium deficiency, while those with serum magnesium level more than 2.07 mg/dL (0.85 mmol/L) are most likely to have adequate levels
I just installed Android TV[1] on my Raspberry Pi 4 just 2 days ago. This will give you the same error because it is not authorized by Google (known issue!). Apart from that everything else runs fine on the Pi. I would however not recommend it as my Pi sometimes freezes when interacting with the menus. But streaming from ie. Max for a couple of hours works without a hitch.

Because I tested casting to the Pi and got that error and then suddenly getting the same error on my official 2nd gen stick I got very paranoid and spent a couple of hours troubleshooting sigh.

If it is a botched firmware update - or simply someone at Google messing up the current signatures - it is not a good look for them.

But I guess it is again only us techies who really cares how easily they remote bricked our devices. From the reports and the sniffed network traffic I lean towards messed up keys rather than botched firmare update. All hail our digital overlords.

Made me think of what my real practical alternatives are. Unless I want to fiddle around with a browser while lounging on my couch it seems the only other real game in town is Apple TV. We have locked ourselves into the walled gardens. The powers that be never really understood that it was not fierce control but rather human nature and convenience which won the war against piracy.

I spend a ton of time in FFmpeg, and I’m still blown away by how it uses abstractions to stay modular—especially for a project that’s been around forever and still feels so relevant. Those filtergraphs pulling off polymorphism-like tricks in C? It’s such an elegant way to manage complex pipelines. e.g.

ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter_complex "
[0:a]asplit=2[a1][a2];
[a1]lowpass=f=500[a1_low];
[a2]highpass=f=500[a2_high];
[a1_low]volume=0.5[a1_low_vol];
[a2_high]volume=1.5[a2_high_vol];
[a1_low_vol][a2_high_vol]amix=inputs=2[a_mixed];
[a_mixed]aecho=0.8:0.9:1000:0.3[a_reverb]
" -map "[a_reverb]" output.wav

That said, keeping those interfaces clean and consistent as the codebase grows (and ages) takes some real dedication.

Also recently joined the mailing lists and it’s been awesome to get a step closer to the pulse of the project. I recommend if you want to casually get more exposure to the breadth of the project.

I recently purchased new Y long range with “337” miles . Apparently EPA also applies a 0.7 handicap factor — a policy added in 2017 to address misleading range listings. My first 180m test drive completed within expectations , so things seemed great.

I then did what should have been an easy 270 mile drive and the planner warned it would not make it . I stopped in for a 10 mile top up and arrived with just 16 miles remaining. Thinking the return trip would be better due to the topography, I had about the same bad experience .

I’ve since learned that supercharger preconditioning kills 15-30 miles , so you need to fill up 50+ or you actually end up with less than if you hadn’t stopped. Even with this loss, the range doesn’t meet expectations .

Sure I did everything I could , including driving below the speed limit , using “chill model , preconditioning , departing at a scheduled time, avoiding climate control. I usually exceed EPA gas estimates due to my chill approach .

I was very disappointed for my brand new car to come up 20% short in what seemed to be nearly ideal conditions .
False dichotomy - much of the muscle loss happens because of the rapid weight loss. If you diet more slowly and are not at very high levels of relative musculature you’re not going to lose nearly as much even in the long run, at least prior to advanced age. The newly skinny person might lose some muscle mass on their legs if they dieted down slowly, but it is significantly less likely that they will lose all of the other body-wide muscle mass that they do with rapid weight loss.

Your body will hold on to a surprising amount of muscle. Even people that take PEDs can drop back down to natural testosterone levels and keep ~80% of their gains in the long term. (Actual gains, not the temporary glycogen and intra-muscular water retention that you see with some compounds on cycle.) It takes significant effort for them, but they’re trying to hold on to supraphysiological levels, vs. someone who is trying to hold on to what is already on the lower end of the physiological range.
