I guess this is a matter of preference. I see when I click a link on stack.lol that the page header remains visible, but the rest of the page disappears (blanks to white) for a second before the next page appears.

I prefer a seamless experience of seeing the next page immediately without a "white flash" first. For instance, if I am looking at a GitHub project page and I click the "Issues" button, in a fraction of a second the page changes to the Issues page without any intermediate disappearance or partial page load.

In most cases, I find transition effects like fading, sliding, etc. to be an annoyance that adds unnecessary delay and visual distraction.

Positivity has become politically suspect. It's doubly sad to be unhappy about how things are going in the world generally and also to be nervous about enjoying when something goes right. It's sad that making a positive comment about the weather is something I only do with close friends now, and not even all of them. There are people I've known for years, who know what my politics are, who know who I give money to, yet still, if I say something nice about the weather, they have to say "too bad climate isn't weather" or "yeah, but you know in a few months it's going to be terrible, because global warming is real." And none of this drives political engagement or moves anybody's mind in the slightest; it's just a social fashion that arose spontaneously, for no purpose, and which we will enforce zealously until one day it doesn't seem important anymore.

This is a bad take. The business model is pretty clear: subsidized new line of business using the search revenu until it is so dominant that no competition is viable, only then heavily monetize it.
Put on some Loony Toons! Don't worry that it's old. Kids that young don't have enough sense of the timeline to know just how ancient any animation style is, but Loony Toons will stand out for sure. 3D garbage-tier animation is everywhere in kids shows because it's fast and cheap. 3D animation is often much less expressive and dynamic though. The more variety in animation you expose a kid too, the sooner they'll be able to notice bad animation when they see it.
I don't see how the sensations of color, sound, etc come out of information integration. Sensory experience along with internal sensations form the hard problem of consciousness.
Google uses their insane ad revenue to subsidize the Xerox Parc / Bell Labs of the current generation. Waymo, DeepMind, Gemini Robotics. They're killing it and leading the entire market.

It's not just researchers. Engineers at Google get to spin up products and throw spaghetti at walls, too. Google has more money than God to throw around.

Google's ad dominance will probably never go away unless antitrust action by the FTC/DOJ/EU force a breakup. So they'll continue to lead as long as they can subsidize and outspend everyone else. Their investments compound and give an almost unassailable moat into deep tech problems.

Google might win AI and robotics and transportation and media and search 2.0. They'll own everything.
Funny, I see the need to add comments as an indicator that it's time to introduce chunking of some sort--arguably it already has been.

In this case, I'd lean towards intermediate variables, but sometimes I'll use functions or methods to group things.

I prefer function/method/variable names over comments because the are actual first class parts of the code. In my experience, people are a bit more likely to update them when they stop being true. YMMV.

You're right about the rhyme and reason; from my perspective I'm just letting a bunch of thoughts out so there's no cohesiveness to it.

But it doesn't change the underlying answer about what will happen to "James", when push comes to shove, people will work what they have too is all I was getting at. This was in response to you essentially saying James is not "built" for this kind of work or wouldn't accept it even if it presented itself. I don't think there's anything factually incorrect about saying he would take it even if not initially because he hasn't swallowed his pride. It's just pragmatism/survival instinct. Most white collars are where they are because they wanted to choose a viable career. If whats defined as a viable career shifts, the people will shift with it.

I wouldn't say I'm anticipating an event so much as exploring a hypothetical, I'll admit I speak with some "sureness" but its really just presenting statements and kinda seeing what sticks or doesn't. A sounding off board.

It definitely adds value to the conversation - we're all human, we're all unsure about the future and our place in it.

I'm just scared about a future where humans (say the next generation, kids 1-5 years of age right now) lack in-depth knowledge of almost everything and it's mostly AI writing low-level code, so there are no more "human experts."

We've already seen this happening where Gen Z mostly interacts with the world using phones and struggle with older operating systems/desktops, just like older generations. AI is going to make that 10x worse going forward.
We haven't developed the PySpark pipeline. It was given to us to be improved, which we did a whole rewrite to leave it more clean and understandable. We also tried a persistence switch to test if it was a better choice just in case a step failed we could resume from a prevoius one. I also had zero hands-on on PySpark and DuckDB. But yes, I was amazed at how far it was falling behind DuckDB. I wasn't expecting such a difference. Ah also this pipeline did indeed run on the cloud, but it was not posible to test it there, so the only choice was to run it locally.

I don't know Datashader that well, but from what I understand, it generates an image from a set of primitives (e.g. points), and then allows you to interactively inspect that image. It does not re-render the points on every frame like Fastplotlib/Pygfx does.

Depending on your GPU, you can render say 1-50 million points smoothly. Also see e.g. https://github.com/pygfx/pygfx/discussions/819

I’d add that the Rust code and C code will probably have the same number of bugs. The C code will likely have some vulnerabilities on top of those.

Rust doesn’t magically make the vast majority of bugs go away. Most of bugs are entirely portable!
I believe, at its best, it’s an incomplete model (which may be enough for most people). But it leaves out important aspects like magnetic field work and probably a host of aspects from quantum theory.

Weirdly, as cool as this looks, it's a bit concerning to me. It feels like this is marking a milestone in the history of a great open source project where they are doing one or many of the following:

1) Biting off more than they can chew,

2) Putting significant effort into something that's outside of their core value proposition,

3) Leaning more in the direction of supporting things with a for profit company that gradually cannibalizes the open source side.

Maybe I'm being too cynical. I hope I'm wrong.
I found the noise cancelling headphones don't completely eliminate loud intermittent noise but prevents them from being offensive and jarring. I use them almost all the time and worry they have negative long term effects. They certainly have positive effects though.
Comparatively, EU VAT is less complex than the US thing, as it's on a country rather than a county basis, so I'm not sure how the EU is messing up here. That being said the rules for rates are complex but unless you're selling lots of different products that's unlikely to be an issue.

I do agree with you on the keep growing advice but if you're getting a bunch of EU sales, it's worth complying to some extent.
If I use e.g. `daylight --timezone=Europe/Copenhagen` it does actually show the 24h times, which is nice. But til still appends AM/PM, which is kind of weird. :)
Fair enough. I asked because an extension like this has access to too much information which I don't like from a privacy stand point.

I think if they make a product, they should support it long-term (within reason of course). Hangouts was great, for example. It could do SMS, voice and video calls, and regular web-based text chat. It was everything you need from a messaging client, all in one app. It was so close to being a real iMessage/FaceTime competitor, but instead they killed it and launched Allo/Duo instead, which was an incredibly baffling decision.

Sure it could've used a bit of a facelift and some other tweaks, but they have a history of launching new, half-baked products instead of just maintaining the existing ones.
I think this space needs some disruption. Most UPSs are dreadful. Cheap, lead-acid and unreliable. And the power banks with attractive specs that seem to be built around 100ah lifep04 batteries... they don't seem to work as UPSs. (and they're expensive)
Ah, that's a really good point, thank you - makes me think of how little progress there's been in that domain, whether robots perceiving or tricking our perception.

For the inverse of the robot problem: younger me, spoiled by youth and thinking multitouch was the beginning of a drumbeat of steady revolution, distinctly thought we were a year or two out from having haptics that could "fake" the sensation of feeling a material.

I swear there was stuff to back this up...but I was probably just on a diet of unquestioning, and projecting, Apple blogs when the taptic engine was released, and they probably shared one-off research videos.

I believe this is related to the implementation of the light/dark theme. It uses the preferred theme but default to light, if your preferred theme is dark, it will take some time where it defaults to light before being set to dark. There are workarounds.
If you have the ability to distribute keys directly, asymmetric cryptography adds complexity without much payoff. Certainly the idea that introducing RSA to a symmetrical system makes it more sound isn't well supported; the opposite is true.

The "NOBUS vulnerability" thing is especially silly, since the root of trust of all these systems are telecom providers. You don't have to ask if your American telecom provider is "in cahoots" with the US intelligence community; they are.

Old school web tech is the best. I still reach for multipart/form-data every day. Many of my web applications do not even have javascript.

I hope at some point the original pattern is re-discovered and made popular again because it would make things so much snappier:

1. Initial GET request from user's browser against index and maybe favicon.

2. Server provides static/dynamic HTML document w/ optional JS, all based upon any session state. In rare cases, JS is required for functionality (camera, microphone, etc.), but usually is just to enhance the UX around the document.

3. User clicks something. This POSTs the form to the server. The server takes the form elements, handles the request, and then as part of the same context returns the updated state as a new HTML document in the POST response body.

4. That's it. The web browser, if it is standards compliant, will then render the resulting response as the current document and the process repeats.

All of this can happen in a single round trip. Latency is NOT a viable argument against using form submissions. I don't think suffering window navigation events is a valid one either. At some point, that SPA will need to talk to the mothership. The longer it's been disconnected, the more likely it's gonna have a bad time.

The web only has to be hard if you want to make it hard. Arguments against this approach always sound resume-driven more than customer-driven. I bet you would find some incredibly shocking statistics regarding the % of developers who are currently even aware of this path.
It also has an address-of operator, you can take the address of the middle of a large array.

I suppose that would be possible with fat-pointers that are reference+offset.

I think this advice may vary in applicability across industries. If you're selling a B2B product that touches PII, you're definitely going to need SOC2 if you don't want to be laughed out the door during pitch meetings. And depending on your funding level, using an automatic SOC2 compliance checklist service like Secureframe may only be a few thousand dollars but will ensure not only that you are following those best practices but also in an idiosyncratically SOC2 manner that will make for an easy audit. Not a huge investment relative to the dev and project management time it takes to get onto SOC2 track with an organization that already has deeply engrained non-compliant processes in place.

Unabated capitalism has more poverty than capitalism with social programs. Social programs save people from poverty.

Of course I know how TLS works, as well as PFS. I recommend Kaufman on the subject. The general scheme you refer to is known as hybrid cryptography, and the key material that is derived is used to generate symmetric keys for the TLS session (several keys, in fact, separately for confidentiality and integrity, and for duplex communications). You missed my point completely, though. Unlike TLS sessions, which rely on packets, calls are multiplexed with TDMA or CDMA, for example. Unlike TCP, these channels have realtime requirements that necessitate stream ciphers be employed. I could ask you if you know how telecom works, but that would be childish and demeaning. As ephemeral as you wish to make it, the telco must know the secret key, for imagine if the call is being relayed to Timbuktu and must be passed in plaintext.

I love this approach. I just wish there was better tooling for HTML polyglot programming.

PHP got it right by embedding itself within "HTML" documents. React also got it right by inventing JSX. There's Go templ too. They all said "HTML deserves first class support".

Why can't this DX also be available for other general purpose PLs? I want my Python language server to detect that this or that string is HTML, and provide features accordingly. I don't want to keep bouncing between .py and .html files. Is this achievable?
Yes, but that "somewhere" could very well be only the two phones involved in a call, with key establishment happening via Diffie-Hellman. Doesn't protect against an active attack, but there's no key to leak inside the network.

Some thought

- perhaps the judge make less experts interviews than the corporations, leading to less experience in that but also takes each of them more seriously.

- one way to remove/add some credit to someone claim is to ask some of their peers opinion and see if there’s a strong majority.

- the judge personal expertise may help him forge a precise opinion but that wouldn’t clear him of making a mistake.
For important matters it’s always a good idea to ask for peers reviews. Academics knows that too.
that's basically nothing then.

if there is a recall good luck sorting through all the paper records, especially over a large time period.

I don't know why you argue when you know your argument is very weak at best.
