Stealth is really a moot point. It's extremely expensive to maintain and compromises certain aspects of an airframe's design to maintain a minimal cross section. Again - this makes it a great weapon in contested airspace but a taxpayer burden for combat air patrol. Even Americans could barely justify the F-35 to themselves, in terms of pure maneuverability the F-16 still wins most simulated dogfights.

In practice, Canada does not have to defend against a credible stealth-equipped adversary. The F-35 wouldn't even help them if they did. God willing, North America will not be the stage for World War III, so they also have no need to survive in contested airspace. Canada's defensive mission remains intercepting supersonic bombers, something the F-35 fundamentally cannot do.

> But the F35 just won’t need to ever get close for that to matter.

Nor does an Su-27 when it's radar silent and guided by passive EOTS: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2023/06/11/how-su-30-has-intercep...

The F-35 is not a super-jet. The F-22 exists for a reason; in terms of mission capacity the F-35 is basically an F-117 redesigned to suck less. It's a very cool plane that is fundamentally useless to countries that are not constantly molesting the borders of other nations.
The app does background audio, and its use is legitimate. It is an audio app.

But the point is - there's no fundamental restriction from the OS itself.
The assertion that comments are a code smell assumes that the source of complexity in your codebase is either developer taste or some computer-sciency problem that becomes apparent to anyone reading the code in a few minutes or so. But sometimes the complexity is intrinsic to the problem you're solving; sometimes there's some quirk or edge case that means you can't do the obvious thing. In those circumstances, you need comments to explain what you're doing, how you're doing it, and why.
Tags can be signed, and the signature can be verified. It's about as easy as signing / verifying commits. One can even make signing tags as the default option when creating tags.

This won't help in this case though, because a legitimate bot was tricked into working with a rogue commit; a tricked bot could as well sign a tag with a legitimate key.

"Immutable tags" of course exist, they are commit hashes, but they are uninformative :(
Sounds like a good idea but we’re talking about the TAS and speedrunning community specifically. Wouldn’t it count as a console mod and therefore delegitimise their runs?
I just watched that episode on PBS Kids this week with my 2 and 6 year old.
Appreciate thinking of problems that might have made it work not so well.

Having said that, the office is a single floor. The grocery order is once every few weeks.

There's quite some time flexibility in ordering stuff.

There is plan B (buying a couple of cartons in a grocery shop on the same block).

The system is scaled to what we need. And I don't say anyone should copy it blindly. If we talked about several floors, multiple coffee corners, etc., the flow of index cards might have required much more conscious thought.

In our case, we need none of this.

Also, continuous improvement (kaizen): start with something simple, then improve it. There's not much point in solving hypothetical problems with system design. Most of the time, we'd only be unnecessarily complicating the solution.

Which (tongue in cheek) is half of the history of software development :)

I only personally know one person who had been an active member in Extinction Rebellion and I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. It seems like they all agree that the amount of growth we have today is unsustainable, but what sustainable growth exactly is and in turn how much growth needs to be compromised is not agreed upon. So I don't believe that endless pursuit of growth is against most of their members opinion, they just have a much stricter view on what sustainable growth is (and that some degrowth might be needed to achieve sustainable growth in the long term).
How about beach bunning near good surf spots? A bum must entertain themselves after all.
I think it’s odd that they instantly refer to the US as a third world nation when they see an influx of homeless on the streets, and yet they apparently don’t want to continue funding the program that keeps 60% of the elderly out of poverty.

They clearly:

1. Do not want us to be poor (or see the effects anyway.)

2. Don’t know the history of shanty towns and almshouses in our nation.

3. Don’t know the difference between the SSI Trust Fund, vs SSI policy.

Otherwise the path forward would be patently obvious, remove the cap and increase payments to match inflation. I’d personally roll up 401ks into voluntary additional contributions that are accessible to anyone regardless of employment status.

1. This is the official Medium publication for the Stanford Alumni Magazine.

2. The Medium version of this story was published 1 month before the stanfordmag.org version, so this is the "original" story.
I think this is probably a misrepresentation of degrowth. Perhaps there are some that take an extreme view like that, but it is more that we are very very obviously beyond the limits of sustainable living and something will have to give, now, or worse in the future as we deplete even more resources.

Some of these differences won't be "degrowth" but changes, like shifting to high speed rail and buses over personal cars. Reducing meat in our diets. Giving nature some breathing room. In other words, a different way of living that might take some adjustment but would also be perfectly fine.

Furthermore, we need to consider developing societies. If we continue to consume finite natural resources unsustainably, we cut into the share that could be used to better the lives of the poorest societies on Earth.

I'm not involved in XR though. However, I think it's important to present a highly materialist viewpoint. It's not only about morality, but about ensuring as many people as possible can live decent lives in a renewed balance with nature.
> Web apps have a magnitude more dependencies than desktop apps

Irrelevant. As a user I do not care how many dependencies an app has. I care about my own data security and browsers have an excellent sandbox.

> Because you referred to apps stealing code from a different origin

I referred to apps stealing data from a different origin. Think my open web mail tab containing my email. That's an attack that browsers can prevent.

> I talk about the app you use to access the usb device per web usb.

That's what is supposed to happen. I explicitly want this vendor app to talk to vendor hardware.

> Previously it was about a malicious app attacking per browser exploit.

A malicious web app needs a browser exploit to access my data which costs millions of dollars on the black market. A local app does not need any exploit to access my data.

> the app is allowed to access the data but because of the supply chain attacks your data gets stolen

The app is never allowed to access my data. It doesn't matter whether supply chain attacks are involved or not.

Using AI to Analyze Non-Human Drawings: A First Step with Orangutan Productions
I have mostly a passing interest in the topic, however from what I understand Halide first lowers to an intermediate language then they do the scheduling and optimisation. While exo, does the optimisations directly on the python code. Also Halide needs you to tell it how to lower the code and how to do the scheduling. Which is something that exo can determine itself.

If they shut down yt-dlp for good, a lot of power users and creators would find the YouTube platform useless for themselves and abandon it en masse for its nearest competitor. A tool like yt-dlp is very much required if you want to engage professionally with that kind of community. Even something as trivial as making a well-produced "video reaction" relies on it.

Yes, YT has good monetization, but it still pays peanuts to the average creator. So the competitive threat is very real - superstars alone wouldn't be enough to make for a really compelling platform.

What does permissible license mean? If you mean open source, no such database exists AFAIK. If you mean you can run it locally for free for dev purposes, on prem without telemetry etc, then Oracle is clearly the best option.

Compared to Postgres, Oracle DB:

• Scales horizontally with full SQL and transactional consistency. That means both write and read masters, not replicas - you can use database nodes with storage smaller than your database, or with no storage, and they are fully ACID.

• Has full transactional MQ support, along with many other features.

• Can scale elastically.

• Doesn't require vacuuming or have problems with XID wraparound. These are all Postgresisms that don't affect Oracle due to its better MVCC engine design.

• Has first party support for NoSQL that resolves your concern (see SODA and JSON duality views).

I should note that I have a COI because I work part time at Oracle Labs (and this post is my own yadda yadda), but you're asking why does no such database exist and whether anyone can make one. The database you're asking for not only exists but is one of the world's most popular databases. It's also actually quite cheap thanks to the elastic scaling. Spec out a managed Oracle DB in Oracle's cloud using the default elastic scaling option and you'll find it's cheaper than an Amazon Postgres RDS for similar max specs!
I use the "unhook" extension which let's you remove recommendations, set your youtube home page to your subscriptions (chronologically ordered videos), block shorts and more (you can cherrypick the features you want). Highly recommended. I would have paid for youtube premium if I was given these options, honestly.
"It instilled a belief in me that I still have to this day: that any spiritual ailment can be cured by playing music at maximum volume in a small, dark room."

This is so true to me but I never thought of putting it to words like that. I love music and darkness so much that during some especially intense moments in live shows I've been to I close my eyes instead of looking at the band.
Honestly, hadn't thought of it, but of course we should do that. Thanks!
Ensuring vitamin D is optimal can be beneficial...
"We have shown that vitamin D3 appears to stimulate the type I interferon signaling system in the body – a key part of the immune system that provides a first line of defence against bacteria and viruses. Thus, a healthy vitamin D3 status may help prevent viruses and bacteria from gaining a foothold in the body." https://scitechdaily.com/study-finds-vitamin-d3-important-fo...
Excellent, I'll stick with my lofty smart watch goal then. I do have some intermediate steps like running some sensor fusion from an IMU in real time. So hoping I can build up a system, add peripherals, then transfer off a dev board, then keep iterating and adding complexity over time.

Rust looks very cool and is probably the future. To lower complexity it seems to make sense for me to stick with the familiarity of C from a bunch of Arduino projects (Although mostly Arduino IDE and Libraries) and some C++ projects (not embedded), but maybe I don't know what's good for me there, is there an equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot or blowing your whole leg off in Rust?

It seems to make sense to dabble with registers enough to be confident in understanding what the HAL is doing whilst learning, I find taking a peek at the lower levels of abstraction can really impact how to use libraries best?

"Reference Manual" - Brilliant! Just took a look and this is going to help me get my bearings so much, thank you!

Although she's a person of many talents, I would be genuinely surprised if she spent evenings studying Japanese management methods.

The solution she designed, however, is as if she already knew all of that part of the MBA program :)

Which shows how significant parts of these methods have roots in basic awareness and perceptiveness to how the work gets done. Lean/Agile only codified some of these good practices. Unfortunately, they also petrified a lot of specific techniques. But that's another story.

Yes.

This is fantastic and this needs to happen.

Modern SaaS has gotten out of control and it needs to go to zero.

AI is already engaging in the race to zero, so why not get there faster with open source.

Zero is open source and the community 'kills' the SaaS and their competitors by building it together in the open for free.

Imagine if all SaaS companies were open source, no lock in, no hiking of prices, just sell maintenance and support for enterprises and those who cannot host it themselves and that's it.

Instead of an abundance of VC, YC AI SaaS slopware, an abundance of open source replacements would be better which renders these grifts unprofitable.

Plunder/Raping raids don't necessarilyead to trading and meaningful conversations do they?
Here are some things that are not that in software teams:

- managing your own calendar, meetings, memos

- organizing transport and stay on business trips

- tracking and later correctly filling in forms to expense the above

- and yes, tracking supply of office consumables

This and many, many more things have been dumped on everyone by short-sighted beancounting. Salaries of secretaries, graphics departments, finance people, etc. are legible, therefore cutting them is a "big efficiency win". But their work does not disappear - it gets spread out, distributed in tiny pieces to everyone else. Then you have specialists with 10x the salaries of aforementioned departments getting constantly distracted by work that is not the reason they were hired. And people are surprised that productivity doesn't track promised economic improvements, and that everything gets slow to build and expensive for "unknown reasons".
Exactly. I use comments either when some inherent complexity is at play or when I've written seemingly weird code and need to make it easier for myself and others to understand why it's hacky.

I generally try to avoid the latter case, but sometimes, especially when I can't afford to refactor, I just do it, and in such cases having comments is just better than having nothing.

That's disappointing... and I see that Athabasca Falls also had a fire ( https://youtu.be/kljQc4ycIs4 ).

I don't have any great photos from Athabasca area... some of the other photos...

https://imgur.com/a/c2Ep6ox

The style of waterfall photographs that I find myself drawn to are high contrast, narrower field of view that have a... "story of the water". You need to be able to follow it through the frame. The great spouts aren't ones that I find interesting. I much preferred Romana falls (Mount Hood - https://shagie.smugmug.com/Nature/Waterfalls/Ramona-Falls ) and Burney Falls (near Mount Shasta - https://shagie.smugmug.com/Nature/Waterfalls/Burney-Falls ). While they're veils of water from high cliffs that crash onto rocks far below, I can photograph them... intimately. They are majestic, but there are so many parts to them that tell their own "story".

https://imgur.com/1o6BVGR - I think this is from the Lake Louise area. Not sure, it's not labeled but it's date stamped near other photos in that area.

https://imgur.com/joZFgVT - Another example of "intimate photos of grand nature" - this is a small part (from where I stood https://www.google.com/maps/@52.1765131,-117.0554424,3a,75y,... ) of the mountains.

https://imgur.com/SmKxAeQ - I have it labeled as "Lower Brenda Falls" in my photos. I think its from Waterton area... Ahh... looking it up, Bertha falls. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Waterton+Lakes+National+Pa... (I'll be fixing that up in my albums)

And even then, a fire can show the recycling power of nature. https://imgur.com/IHQhm7z and wildflowers are once again freed from the seed bank. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Marble+Canyon+Trailhead/@5... - I was there in 2009, the fire was from 2003. https://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/natures-riot...

Any simpler and it would not be effective for it's intended purpose?
It depends on the game and community; but generally speaking, console mods don't delegitimize a run if they don't change the behavior of the game in an illegitimate way. It's common for top-level runners to play on consoles with modded video encoding hardware for better picture quality, for example.

When it comes to TAS specifically, most SNES TASes cannot be replayed on console at all because the hardware is too nondeterministic -- the same exact input will not give you the same behavior. It's usually something trivial like an extra frame spent waiting for a sound effect, but that can cause you to (for example) enter the next room with different RNG state, causing enemies to behave completely differently, etc.

So being able to console-verify a TAS on a modded console, with a clearly-defined hardware mod that picks a single deterministic behavior from the set of observed behaviors on unmodded hardware, would be a strict improvement over the current status quo of only being able to replay these TASes in emulators.

Agreed. Youtube downloaders are essential for backup purposes and for getting clips to put in your own videos as fair use. But people turning them in to fully user facing ad free frontends are driving the crackdown on the tools so we will end up with no way at all to download videos..

Would be nice if Youtube just let premium users download the actual video files. What I find interesting is how so many of the Chinese social media platforms just let you download videos while western tech companies pretty much universally block it.
