US rural people tend to trust the government less, so I could definitely see them getting undercounted.

The census should really have an option for refusers that collects an absolute minimum of information. The Constitution only asks that people be counted, not that they be broken down into categories.

At least it's just the short form now. Prior to 2010, one out of six people got the long form, which had ten pages of questions for each person in the household. Here's a pdf: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/programs-surveys/d...

It is a blessing, but it’s also important to recognize who tends to end up in the tech industry.

Many of us are well-suited for software work because disabilities or other constraints make many other careers inaccessible.

It really is the worst of both worlds. I don't like change for change's sake which we seem to agree on (though I do like the newer MacOS but we can agree to disagree there, that's strictly a matter of subjective taste) but it is INFURIATING and frankly should be embarrassing what a mess Windows is now. Change for change's sake is bad enough, they're currently doing... change for change's sake but not changing the whole thing because either they can't be fucked to finish the job or it was, for whatever reason, technically infeasible to complete it but they released it half-done anyway, in Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 and now 11. How fucking embarrassing.

The correct pronunciation depends on language (German vs. Deutsch, for an extreme example), so non-English speakers could still use the wrong pronunciation when speaking English. In my own language, 'celts' sounds like 'kelts', but until now I thought the correct way to say it in English was 'selts'.

> It is not. Not even a little. I'm pointing out that you and I have wildly different value systems, alien to each other in ways so profound that you could be forgiven for thinking I'm exaggerating. I get that your values are different than mine and that you want different things.

No, you weren't pointing that out. Disagreeing with a value system doesn't mean you're incapable of understanding or representing it fairly. If the best you took away from the discourse is that 'the ominous they are telling you it's good because that's what they're saying', you were never arguing in good faith. You never had to agree with the points I'm making, but if you want to make an argument against them, you have to make targeted attacks against those arguments, not indefensible caricatures.

The rest of your comment looks big, it looks content-rich, it looks like there's so much to say. In reality, you said basically nothing. You're not putting up arguments or logical reasoning, just a chain of assertions and accusations. The fact that you went down to argue semantics ("true fury") or trying to bring me personally into this while letting the direct, accusatory points I made fly right over shows that you never had the intention of arguing them. It's not just about value systems - these systems have to be defensible. They have to rely on fact. People can disagree in interpreting the facts, but objective reality comes first before subjective feelings. You don't have any of that, you just try to quickly dismiss it at the beginning as being just inherently irreconcilable and impossible to address, without saying why or even trying.

There's a side that can look at actual data of what happens to the wellbeing of people and communities, or the objective benefits and drawbacks of welfare, and make a conclusion out of it - right or wrong, but at least well-intentioned. And then there's a side that has already decided on what's right and will never yield, like in a religion. Where I live, the first side had set up a small-scale, limited UBI trial to conduct research and see if it's a worthy investment or a waste of money. Then, the other side got elected and shut it down immediately - they had already known which is the 'right' option from their ideology, they didn't need no pesky science or research to tell them what was right.

Let's say I noticed a lot of people in my neighborhood don't have fresh apples.

I own an apple farm, so I don't mind leaving out a few apples boxed up and ready to go. For sake of argument, just assume that these apples are fine but by the time they could be transported for sale they wouldn't be fresh.

For the first two years of doing this, most people would come and pick up a couple of apples and then go home. In the last two months Jimbo pulls up a truck and dumps as many apples as possible into the back and drives off.

Eventually I'm going to have to tell Jimbo to stop doing this or at least charge a fee for each apple. Otherwise Jim is the only one who gets any.

25 years in the game industry. This is worth a try. I would rather see individuals derisked more so they can be creative and happy. This may mean top performers make less and crappy workers don’t leave fast enough. It is worth the risk of that. The studios have been irresponsible since video games became an investment vehicle. Pendulum needs to swing back.

Fwiw I have been indie for 10 years so this would not benefit me.

"I'm not going to take advice from a cartoon dog" - is exactly one of the lines in the show.

There are shows geared to teach science in appropriate ways to kids in this same demographic. But that's not the point of Bluey -- it's modeling an ideal family, in a way that's understandable to young children, while being relatable for their parents to watch and appreciate along side with them. They represent a loving, functional family, that likes to have fun, and sometimes has hard issues to deal with, that children get to see. For some families it's an unattainable ideal, and for others it's a mirror of a modern 20-30yo parents raising young kids, complete with modern situations.

It's hard to stress out just how perfectly they nail a show that both kids + parents can watch, that they both find enjoyable, in this demographic, without pandering, or being annoying about it, because it's such a rare find.

The praise this franchise receives is extremely well deserved.

Yes. E.g. bun [1] consumes typescript directly.

The current canonical TS compiler and language server are both written in JS/TS and run on Node (even though there's an ongoing effort for rewriting things in Go). They are relatively compact though; IIRC installing the Rust compiler or the Haskell compiler takes more space.

There are a shocking number of properties with covenants that either disallow black people or something associated with slaves like cotton.

Which given how unpopular that is now, goes to show that it is so impossible to reverse covenants you can't even remove wildly unpopular stuff like the exclusion of blacks. Thankfully such covenants are not enforceable.

> Zero is a natural number. It is in the axioms of Peano arithmetic, and any other definition is just teachers choosing a taxonomy that best fits their lesson.

It is, but it need not be. In the category of pointed sets with endofunctor, (Z_{\ge 1}, 1, ++) and (Z_{\ge 0}, 0, ++) are isomorphic (to each other, to (Z_{\ge 937}, 937, ++), and to any number of other absurd models), so either would do equally well as a model of Peano arithmetic.
That was my first thought as well. Surprised to see they're still seeing updates. Also surprised to never see an IronJS or IronTypescript or similar really.

As the person who personally ran 10.6 v1.1 at Apple (and 10.5.8), you are wrong(ish).

The new version of the OS was always being developed in a branch/train, and fixes were backported to the current version as they were found. They weren't developed linearly / one after another. So yeah, if you are comparing the most stable polished/fixed/stagnant last major version with the brand new 1.0 major version branch, the newer major is going to be buggier. That would be the case with every y.0 vs x.8. But if you are comparing major OS versions, Snow Leopard was different.

Snow Leopard's stated goal internally was reducing bugs and increasing quality. If you wanted to ship a feature you had to get explicit approval. In feature releases it was bottom up "here is what we are planning to ship" and in Snow Leopard it was top down "can we ship this?".

AFAIK Snow Leopard was the first release of this kind (the first release I worked on was Jaguar or Puma), and was a direct response to taking 8 software updates to stabilize 10.5 and the severity of the bugs found during that cycle and the resulting bad press. Leopard was a HUGE feature release and with it came tons of (bad) bugs.

The Apple v1.1 software updates always fixed critical bugs, because:

1. You had to GM / freeze the software to physically create the CDs/DVDs around a month before the release. Bugs found after this process required a repress (can't remember the phrase we used), which cost money and time and scrambled effort at the last minute and added risk. This means the bar was super high, and most "bad, but not can't use your computer bad" bugs were put in v1.1...which was developed concurrently with the end of v1.0 (hence why v1.1s came out right away)

2. Testing was basically engineers, internal QA, some strategic partners like Adobe and MS, and the Apple Seed program (which was tiny). There was very little automated testing. Apple employees are not representative of the population and QA coverage is never very complete. And we sometimes held back features from seed releases when we were worried about leaks, so it wasn't even the complete OS that was being tested.

A v1.1 was always needed, though the issues they fixed became less severe over time due to larger seeds (aka betas), recovery partitions, and better / more modern development practices.
To be honest I don't think the best option for this is a VR headset, it's a pair of VR glasses. I use the Viture One glasses on airplanes, and the best part is they mostly just look normal on the face compared to something like a AVP or Quest. I think the new xReal One Pro glasses have a better FoV, but probably not enough for me to upgrade at this point. They can do "spatial tracking" where the display stays oriented in the same spot as a floating monitor if you move your head, or "static tracking" where the display is always fully in your FoV regardless of where you move your head. Both options plug in via usb C, and you can use them with anything that can do displayport over usb c (Steam Deck, Macbook, Android Phones, iPhones with an adapter, etc).

To me him saying my heart goes out after the second one was trying to cover his arse which seems to have fooled few people who see the videos.

And I'm not sure about the tribalism thing - I was kind of a Musk fan and initially gave him the benefit of the doubt but the comparison of the videos plus his promotion of neo nazis in European politics, plus his mums parents leaving Canada for SA because they were kind of nazi and Canada was too liberal all seems to add up.

This comparison almost makes me wonder if you have kids.
I'm not sure, perhaps this is an issue with how our craft is taught, but I think we're missing something when we talk about the (economic) tradeoffs when making these decisions.

Keeping components simple, decoupled and with minimal dependencies allows for a high degree of optionality. When you pair this with a simple system that is easy to reason about - you're doing huge favours to your future self.

On the other hand, hanging off a bunch of unused features, especially ones that have interacting configuration - that's more like adding lead weights to your future self. It weighs you down and adds friction. And we tend to do a terrible job of predicting our future needs.

Kent Beck does a great job discussing the costs of these tradeoffs in his recent book "Tidy First". It builds upon the YAGNI principle, but adds a level of cost analysis that should allow you to sell these ideas to the managerial level.

Trump 45 admin did not prioritize the census and their ramp up wasn’t particularly good as compared to past years. In my city there was like 30% fewer enumerators.

In the US, rural undercounting isn’t really a problem politically, although it has negative impacts on revenue allocation that is population based like sales taxes.

The biggest issue is that poor residents are underreported. This is both an urban and rural issue but from a numbers perspective impacts urban areas more.

We just launched IRD, an open-source interactive debugger that lets you execute programs forward and backward. Instead of restarting your whole session to track down a bug, you can now reverse step through execution and inspect state changes at any point.

What makes it special:

Fully bidirectional stepping through code
Live program state visualization (variables, memory, execution context)
Reversible breakpoints and checkpoints
Specialized features for quantum algorithms
Experimental AI-assisted debugging
Lightweight diff-based state capture (efficient memory use)
Originally designed for quantum computing and education, but incredibly useful for any developer tired of rerunning their programs 10x to trace bugs.

Try it here: reversible-execution-lab.lovable.app

Code on GitHub: https://github.com/fraware/reversible-execution-lab

Would love feedback or ideas for use cases — especially if you've been frustrated by traditional debuggers!

Website owners create a robots.txt file to guide crawlers/scrapers. Some URLs might be slow (lots of data/database access) to generate, some URLs irrelevant to any search, some URLs might be outdated or duplicate. Or under copyright or other usage restriction.

Now we see the crawlers ignore the robots.txt.

Some crawlers don't do 1 request per second but hit a website with 100 per second. And for days. And crawl the same data again and again. It makes websites slow and has no immediate benefit to the humans.

RDP-over-SSH will break Kerberos authentication for two reasons: 1) you'll point the RDP client to localhost and a random port and 2) you won't get a KDC line-of-sight. The irony is Microsoft has demoed this with SSH over Azure Arc, which can only result in an NTLM downgrade.

IronRDP is designed to work with Devolutions Gateway (https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-gateway) for just-in-time RDP connections made from the web or through the desktop client. Devolutions Gateway also supports just-in-time KDC proxying alongside the main RDP connection, making Kerberos possible.

You can install the free standalone web access package of Devolutions Gateway to try it out, it will give you a simple web interface where you can enter the hostname, username and password.

But if you really want the simplest solution, it's with the rest of the Devolutions stack with Remote Desktop Manager and Devolutions Server. In the end, you'll be able to make RDP connections from RDM or through the web with just a double-click, and it'll automatically generate short-lived tokens and make RDP + Kerberos work seamlessly: https://devolutions.net/gateway/
