I also think that calling von Braun a Nazi isn't necessarily correct. He worked for the Nazi party, but if he didn't it probably wouldn't have worked out very well for him, and I don't think he supported their ideals all that much. He also always wanted to make his rockets, and working at Peenemünde gave him the opportunity to do that, even if it did require PoW labour. Obviously I'm not saying he was a saint, but I don't think he was as "evil" as some people make him out to be, and I don't think many people came out of the war with clean hands. He just really liked making rockets
IIRC, that doesn’t work in practice because once you have a synchronous commit requested, all existing async commits that preceded it must be guaranteed to be fsynced for that sync commit to be fsynced. Which kind of makes sense if you think about the later work potentially reading the result of the earlier one.

The high throughput gains if async commit shine when the totality of the workload is async.
If for internet we think of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the like...then YES.
Citations needed. The DSA never applied to a single EU company and GDPR is the bare minimum on user privacy.

And by the time the EU attempted any of those, we already had the duopoly and the competition was already dead.
It would be fair to say this applies to ai generated code. And seeing how places like google claim over 40% of their code is ai generated it would be fair to say they don't own the code.
You have to pay to go to court to get child support lowered, resulting in really unjust outcomes for homeless people. I'm not sure that someone who spent a year on the streets is in a position where they can pay this month's child support, let alone the last year's back child support. This stuff is crushing to even think about.
Customers will not start using GCP more instead of AWS for example just because Google owns Wiz.

Degrading Wiz capabilities on AWS/Azure/etc will not drive more customers to Googke. CSPM and cloud workloads don’t go hand in hand. What will happen is that other companies will capture the market share left by Google. Will the offerings be less then Wiz quality-wise? Sure, but it will be way cheaper than moving to GCP.

The best option will be to leave Wiz as it is - standalone.
it’s funny that i actually want a pebble with fewer features than the apple watch. i got an oura and haven’t been wearing one in forever… and i actually just miss the watch part. 30 day battery life is amazing.

Don't know about you guys, but reading has become more and more of a burden for me.

It is as if -- I have greatly narrowed my interest such that most books are not interesting any more. Even the sci-fi and fantasy books, once I loved, lost their magic.

Nowadays there are only two types of books that excite me: 1) those about software/hardware engineering, such as iWoz(I even bought a few Tom Swift JR books for my son), Showstopper and Soul of the New Machine, and 2) books about existentialism such as Shestov's philosophy books.

I suspect it has something to do with getting older and getting kid(s).

What about you guys?
I don’t think the letter was “warning they have dirt on them”.

Presumably it was a letter on another topic say an accusation about Rippling poaching Deel’s employees.

Rippling’s legal counsel sends a letter back saying “we aren’t poaching, there are plenty of Deel employees are looking to leave based on posts to Twitter and Slack discussions such as those in the “d-defector” channel.”
Pre-ordered 2 different units; really excited for these to ship.

Got a Pebble Time in highschool and it was so much fun to use and so polished. It was one of the first electronic devices to truely enamor me. I have worked with embedded syatems for the last ~3 years and I have been wondering lately just how no-one else has been able to since make a smartwatch with such good "taste" as the Pebbles...

Happy to have a fresh device to live with! Thank you Eric!

If it's not a duopoly, then why there's no competition between the play store and the app store to get developers or users from each other?

The only tariff change ever made on the appstore was as a reaction to an antitrust lawsuit and copied straight to Google. Just that is enough of a proof.
It pretty much is like that in Australia. Aus post utilises e-bikes and golf cart like things for a lot of deliveries. Most food delivery is done by e bikes.

They still have the traditional vans though since they get loaded up once in the morning to deliver a ton of large packages.
If it fullfills the purpose, then it's a good enough solution.

There are no straw mans here the only thing that shows is your entitlement. Maybe read it again because it looks like you either took everything out of context or didn’t comprehend it.

Your last sentence also just doesn’t make any sense. Why would you worry about platform x if „they“ „know“ everything anyways. I was talking about your anonymous online personas.

Complaining about potential guidelines on one platform when numerous unrestricted spaces exist online seems rather narrow minded, especially given the abundance of alternatives available. Just use it as a modern telephone book. You have total agency over yourself and if or how you use it.
We simply have different outlooks. I'm not going to argue it. I see exploitation (in a negative sense) where you're more optimistic. I truly hope you're right!

Before we had machines to put in our factories, we had hordes of dead laborers. Regulations are written in blood. Then we had company towns and truly brutal police enforcement.

Why will humans work there? Partly for the reason you gave: poverty. That makes them particularly expendable, offering themselves to the 'chance' as you say.

edit: My bias is obvious, I work in SRE - not development. I don't create things, I deal with the fallout of creation. It's a lot like that.

That sounds like an incredibly dumb way to solve the problem. The correct solution is to have a mandatory insurance policy for child support that both parents pay in and contributes to their retirement account once the children are adults.

>stupid and vindicative enough that they would deliberately get themselves held hostage, if they thought it would get them out of child support.

It sounds like you're arguing in favor of a broken system. In what world is it rational to get held hostage? In this one apparently.

>They're economically trapped and you're just happy to sell them e-bikes and pretend that it materially improved their conditions.

What in the hell are you going on about with your criticisms? Here's an idea: Ask these people who buy the e-bikes to do their fairly menial but bill-paying jobs if they'd rather not have at least that option so that you can lecture them about their trapped economic state.

That things should be better and more versatile for more people in the world doesn't mean that shit should be thrown on every small benefit someone can extract from life because it's far from some ideal.

If you followed the Apple Security scene for a bit, you'll notice that a lot of exploits make use of special permissions granted to Apples own apps and services. If you find a way to run your code in Quicktime Player, or to control Quicktime Player, you can circumvent the privacy dialog.

I can’t believe anyone took these claims seriously for even a moment.

Musk was a bullshitter even at his best, and he has fallen far from that peak in the past couple of years. Just go to his Twitter feed and see an unending stream of absolute nonsense.

Trump shows no indication that he even understands the concept of truth.

And yet somehow people manage to say, “NASA says X, Musk and Trump say Y, who knows who’s right?”
All the use of real names on social media accomplishes is a chilling effect on speech. Especially if your opinions differ from those of your employer or customers. Or if people who disagree with you are engaging in harassment campaigns or domestic terrorism against their political opponents.

This can apply to either side. Whether you're a Trump voter in San Francisco or an LGBTQIA+ person in a rural "Bible Belt" community. Doxxing is one of the most serious rules violations on the internet because exposing somebody's real world identity endangers the personal safety of the victim. A real names only policy effectively forces everybody to self-dox or be silenced.
Seems with southern UT, the three differentiators to your situation are the incoming summer heat, LDS and SLC tech.

Heat - I’d try to get a laptop soon, and start scouting out your WiFi access points that have A/C. As you know the heat there is no joke, doubly so if using electronics. Reply to this thread if you want a factory reset MB pro, few years old model. I would have to ship it.

LDS - you’re there and sounds like maybe in the church or familiar re: southern UT family? If you’re a Jack Mormon or w/e, sounds like a good time to find yourself back in the church and get w/e help you can source relative to your tolerance for integration. If you’re out, I’d look up ex-Mormon support groups, or consider how LDS you can become in short order to get help.

SLC - tech work is here, and I’d rather be in SLC vs Vegas or St George if housing was unstable due to heat, and the car might not handle a big drive in the future. So I’d plan a move soon. However, CoL in SLC has jumped, and idk how cops there treat homeless. So, I’d expand my work radius to the SW broadly and the Mormon valley from AZ up to Missoula.
I don't think it is fair to compare Netherlands to other countries like UK or France because Netherlands has a well established culture around bikes and bike lane infrastructure is one of the best in the world, so it will be the last country that will have any issues because of e-bikes.
You don’t get to leave Tesla out of discussion of Elon. For better or worse, Elon spent a decade being the figurehead of Tesla, basically making Tesla==Elon. He owes the majority of his wealth to the company, and a lot of that wealth is due to an inflated stock that is based almost entirely on his cult of personality vs. the fundamentals of the company.
This. And alerts are often just a fluke anyway. Sure many of us can step up and pull an all-nighter if it saves some company and you make some minor sacrifice to do something heroic. Being woken up several times at night for no reason but some metric that is a bit off is pretty soul crushing, and then come the knock-on effects in professional and personal life that you're always tired and demotivated during the day.

In production manufacturing solder paste is generally applied to BGA pads. The amount of solder in the balls is less than the ideal amount for making a good joint, and the solder paste also helps to hold the component in position.

That said, I have ‘successfully’ soldered small BGA components by just applying a sticky flux and then reflowing with a hot air gun. It can work fine for prototypes, but it’s not really how the packages are meant to be soldered.
On France the elite schools are very expensive (by our standards). Universities are basically free.

They are expensive for wealthy people. Depending on how much you earn, you get a progressive cost that covers the tuition of the less fortunate. There is no threshold (200k would be insane).

I pay a lot but I also keep in mind my father who came from an extremely poor family and graduated from our most prestigious engineering school. This what we call the social elevator and it works.
Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

I think what the parent meant was that aesthetics is connected to culture, you can only appreciate its beauty if you understand the specific culture.

Conversely, if you can appreciate the "beauty" of a work without needing to understand that culture, it is likely because that work is serving your native culture.

I think that makes sense - I couldn’t appreciate how wonderful Dr. Strangelove was until I understood American culture.

Is this normal in this space? I know everyone has settled on copying the S3 API for block storage but I’m unsure if we’ve done the same for LLM serving.
I should have been more explicit about the assumptions I make about an allocator:

1. If malloc() is called when there exists a contiguous block of free memory with size >= the argument to malloc(), the call will succeed. I think you'll agree that this is reasonable.

2. Bookkeeping (needed at least for tracking the free list, plus any indexes on top) uses the same amount of malloc()able memory in each allocator. I.e., if malloc(x) at some point in time reduces the number of bytes that are available to future malloc() calls by y >= x bytes under allocator 1, it must reduce the number of bytes available to future malloc() calls by y under allocator 2 if called at the same point in time as well. This may not hold exactly in practice, but it's a very good approximation -- it's possible to store the free list "for free" by using the first few bytes as next and prev pointers in a doubly linked list.

To head one another possible objection off at the pass: If the OS allocates lazily (i.e., it doesn't commit backing store at malloc() time, instead waiting till there is an actual access to the page, like Linux does), this doesn't change anything: Address space (even 64-bit address space) is still finite, and that is still being allocated eagerly. In practice, you could craft the differentially crashing program to crash much faster if you call memset() immediately on every freshly malloc()ed block to render this lazy commit ineffective -- then you would only need to exhaust the physical RAM + swap, rather than the complete 64-bit virtual address space.
Yeah right.

Bluesky/AT Protocol hits a much better balance of mostly decentralized while having an intuitive user experience.

On the other hand, ask the average social media user to try to do the below tasks on Mastodon/ActivityPub, and you'll quickly see how half-baked and disjointed of a user experience it is.

- Search for posts or a user.

- Interact with a Mastodon post that's on a different instance than the one they're registered to.

- Figure out what to do if one day, they wake up and their instance has shut down.
Is Tim Hortons Canadian?
So true! It's a psychological phenomenon called Projection.

I think it's quite universal though. It's like our understanding of other people is an extrapolation of our understanding of ourselves. Perhaps people with high EQ can put themselves in the others' position, but many just default to the projection.

Since i learned about this a few years ago, it has explained a lot. For example the WFH vs RTO debate, people who work well from home assume that naturally others would too and vice versa. So to figure out what people are up to, just listen to what they accuse others of doing. Prominent US realiTV politician is a perfect example.

When Musk wasn't insane, I think a lot of people valued him a bit more. I personally haven't cared for him since pedo guy, but others did.

Reality is he's now batshit crazy, destroying America, and intersecting himself in a bunch of shit nobody wants him close to. Of course that has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

It's not a "shift to the right". I don't care of someone is a bit right or a bit left. This man is dangerous, out there setting America back decades, and sending out some hail Hitlers along the way.

>It would be more accurate to say that the court prioritises the welfare of the child above that of the parents.

That's not true. The welfare of the child is already destroyed by separating the child from one of its parents. If the court prioritized the welfare of the child, then it would give out 50:50 custody by default, with the non-custodial parent having to consent to child support to avoid custody.

Increasing code size too much can result in hot functions not fitting in the icache, and that ultimately can make your program slower.

Capacity is still needed, or you will miss out on a lot of deliveries in peak hours, where you load up several orders and then deliver them all in one route and you dont really need to carry whole bag to client/restaurant, just fish up the package.
Also boxy bags allow for bigger packages(pizza, water bottles) and usually help to pack orders in a way that damages them less.
this is awesome news. I loved the original pebble but moved to the apple watch after pebble's demise.
