The smartest people who ever lived worked on mid-century Cold War strategy, which was non-partisan. Von Neumann, Thomas Schelling, etc. The Secretary of Defense is supposed to be the best possible communicator of those ideas to the President, at all hours of the day. You and I and everyone else in this thread know what crystal-forming pressure that meant for SECDEF in the 1960s. Nowadays, half of those potential qualities (for this President) come from just being seen on Fox News; he's already "dressed for it".

But Hegseth is such an average person. With charisma, he could aw-shucks his way past the media. Unlike McNamara, Hegseth is not charged with proving how important a competent SECDEF is. Maybe even demonstrating how arbitrary the standard can be given such an average person can just, well, phone it in.

While it's true that no sum of such average people will ever approach one John Von Neumann, it's not fair to blame an average person with some self-awareness for their every flaw. Which is why Hegseth's denials move the needle from "forgivable mistakes expected from Joe Blow" to "history-making example of Dunning-Kruger".

Null pointers are not possible in safe mode, but pointers can be wrapped in Optional, i.e Optional<T> or T? for short.

indeed building a network to host an entire cloud's worth of apps is not easy. however, it would be even harder without the distributed approach. this way, we don't have to buy all the hosts, instead we can "rent" them from people that want to contribute to the network.

during the initial phases we will distribute rewards for proof-of-availability (just being online will earn money for you). this way we can start the economy and we can have hosts join the network before we have workloads.

after the initial phases, we will still reward for availability, but less. from all the payments we collect, most of it will go straight to the hosts that provided resources, and from what we take as a fee, 1/3 will go back to the availability pool, from which we will distribute to all available nodes.
Also, pedantry warning, the phrase is "intents and purposes", not "intensive purposes". Also "could care less" implies you do care, "couldn't care less" implies you don't.
No, they will happily pay money to spam you.

IP reputation, proof-of-work, and various fee-for-receipt schemes are trying to solve spam in the same way: by charging low-volume users a trifle to send messages at a "normal" rate, which adds up to become more expensive when you start bulk mailing. The problem is that these schemes have to assume that there is a single market-clearing price[0] for sending messages that is both low enough to not inconvenience legitimate users and high enough to make bulk messaging uneconomic.

Such a concept goes against how communications networks actually function. The amount of communications resources the average person uses is so low that it's not worth billing for them. Sending any sort of data isn't free, but it's "cheap as free[1]". Any communications technology that bets against this will fail in the marketplace. People are not going to go back to, say, buying (virtual) stamps at 73 cents[2] a piece to send mail with. Hell, the $10/GB I pay with Google Fi is already enough to make me cringe every time I actively use my data plan.

On the other side, charging a fee for misbehavior legitimizes that misbehavior; if the fee is less than the value of the misbehavior then you are just imposing a cost of business. Spammers need to send lots of mail because the rate at which people fall for your scam is comically low. But when you do hook a sucker in, they yield a huge return.

So what we have here is that legitimate users would balk at per-message rates that wouldn't even be close to what would make spammers flinch. Which is, again, the same problem that SPF/DKIM/DMARC have. People whose job it is to send garbage e-mail for a living have a far higher tolerance for Internet bureaucracy bullshit[3] than people who use e-mail to get their real work done or to talk to friends and family.

Rider supports AvaloniaUI and Uno. And both also ship extensions for Visual Studio Code.

You are not tied to Visual Studio or Windows (as in, you can target Windows and Linux when using macOS, or Windows and macOS when using Linux).

Rust is generally anemic if you need a visual editor. Go and Python are in even worse state (there are no production-ready frameworks for Go to do cross-plat GUI app dev).

The biggest alternative so far is Flutter.
Same with the food and housing examples. Save meal prep time given back, commuting time given back (I am assuming corporate housing is relatively close to the office compared to usual, self selected housing).
Radar has been used on satellites for ocean surveillance before but it takes a lot of power. That means carrying a nuclear reactor, or enormous solar panels plus batteries. And a huge constellation would be needed to achieve anything like continuous coverage.

It probably wouldn't be feasible to have a single constellation tracking both aircraft and ships. Different types of radar operating on different frequencies would be needed for those applications.
While I'm pointing out to both of you that criticizing "[t]he people who are making choices and citing the one time Eich gave $1,000 to a political cause" sounds like a deliberate strawman when the linked-to criticism lists three different donations.

As for "They know their independence is a key feature", the question is, what sort of independence?

Interesting to compare. Henry Ford's anti-semitism [0] and nazi ties (he was awarded a medal) didn't trash sales.

> The Dearborn Independent, especially with its choice to re-publish The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, became a notorious source of antisemitism for its libel against Jews. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a historic hoax document first published in Russia in 1903, expressed the conviction that a global Jewish community conspires for world domination. Each week, the front page of the newspaper, under the title “The International Jew: The World’s Problems,”

But there wasn't instant news, and The Dearborn Independent didn't have the visibility that a giant website has now.

Most banks that will work with. For what ever reason the bank I now use knows most vpn providers and completely blocks all traffic from them so using a vpn is not an option either. The “vpn” I’ll have to use is tunneling back to my home ip. It’s actually quite frustrating.
I'm not being wishful. It is an absolute certainty. Like as certain as the heat death of the universe. We're only two months in and already the friction is growing.

Both have absolutely colossal egos. Both demand being the centre of attention at all times, and both have a weird Mafioso "family dynasty" thing going on. I mean, look at Musk dropping in on various Trump meetings. I don't think you could say he was being sycophantic at all, but quite contrary is giving off major "these are my employees" energy.

Add that Musk is increasingly whiny. He's starting to realize that the people aren't going to love him for the things he is doing, and he's realizing this isn't the long term advantage he thinks.

At some point, sooner rather than later, they're going to disagree on something. It might not even be a big thing. Or maybe Trump will just decide it's political capital to jettison Musk during some crisis or other. The egos will clash, Musk will be declared a "RINO" (like almost 100% of Trump's first cabinet and underlings) and every protection will evaporate.

Musk's "favorability rating" is collapsing (currently -19 and dropping). He is a sponge taking all of the negativity, and once he has absorbed enough he's going to get jettisoned.
Just "explain like I am 5" to gpt and sit back.
I'm sure there are other cases but none of this magnitude that comes to mind.

But the real truth is --- the 40% percent drop in TSLA follows a 40% gain that was wasn't justified and was based solely on Musk's association with Trump.

But a deeper, more fundamental truth is --- Tesla is all but dead as a consumer car company and I think Musk knows it. It is facing increasing competition at every turn without the political angle --- which only makes things worse.

The company is living on "Full Self Driving" which has been promised over and over again for the last decade to the point where it has become a running joke.
> IDEs understand preprocessor macros, so IDE features (jump2def, etc) work with this.

Do they? X macros often are used with token pasting (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Concatenation.html), as for example in (FTA)

#define AST_BEGIN_SUBCLASSES(NAME) START_##NAME ,

Are modern IDEs/compiler toolchains smart enough to tell you that START_foo was created by an expansion of that macro?

If I walk by a stand, it cost them something to give me their homemade crafts for free(they have less to give away)

My take was that mp3PRO and AACPro (what you get when you make a 96k AAC file with the Apple codec) sounds exactly like what you'd expect it to sound like: they wiped away the higher frequencies and replaced them with a reasonable substitute.

> As far as it being a large dependency, the beauty of C++ is that if you don’t use it, it won’t affect your build.

That's the theory. In practice, you have things like iostreams pulling in tons of locale machinery (which is really significant for static builds) even if you never use a locale other than "C". That locale machinery will include gigantic functions for formatting monetary amounts even if you never do any formatting.

Indeed.

I recall widespread and protracted calls for imprisonment, several years ago, for storing government e-mails on a private server. They have gone silent.

The government response:

- You're telling me about this for the first time. (President Trump)

- It's a hoax. (SECDEF Hegseth)

- Nobody discussed war plans. (SECDEF Hegseth)

- Nobody should lose their job over this. (Speaker Johnson)

- No classified information was shared and the journalist is a sensationalist. (Press Secretary Leavitt)

- The editor in chief of The Atlantic is a so-called journalist. (President Trump)

Ignorance (real or feigned), gaslighting, lies, character attacks.

I don't think it was that. I generally pay attention to those and don't remember it being near a weigh station for any of them (it was only one car at a time, and was spread out over a couple hundred miles that I saw them).

> And if one "goes bad", you still can't run a new one, unless you have a pullstring.

The one that went bad is the pullstring.
I'm not seeing how those are at all the same, or how it's convoluted to think of/require a proof to be an actual demonstration of the thing you are setting out to prove.

If you want to prove to me that `A => B`, what other way is there to do so besides giving me logical steps to get from `A` to `B`? If you had a proof-of-A, would that not then be a function that takes your proof-of-A and returns a proof-of-B?
Generating suggestions from something other than what your users have already given you is inevitably going to result in something different and potentially offensive being shown to them.

One solution is to offer suggestion from a list of previous searches.

Also, that is very much a big corporate problem: I imagine most searchmysite users are mature and stable enough not to have a melt down at the word "anal".

But I agree with your point, sometimes seemingly small features take a disproportionate amount of support, and this could be one of them!
If inflation is higher forward looking due to demographic compression, interest rates cannot fall. This is the crux of the potential debt trap.

Cool stuff! If you make this collaborative so students could participate in real time together that would be so cool.

For example I remember when I was growing up we would split into groups and be given some task. Like in a lab or researching together.

Not sure if that is useful or not.
> The lossless audio isn't the real benefit of this, it's the low latency

And we could have had that on all AirPods, for several years now, if Apple were to finally implement LC3 and Bluetooth LE Audio.

Other than enabling much lower latency for unicast, LE Audio even supports broadcast use cases (think gym TV audio, public announcements, hearing aid audio in cinemas etc) and much more.

I really don't understand why that's taking so long; this type of thing seems exactly like something Apple would usually excel at. (Maybe it's too open a standard, and they can't figure out a way to make gyms and cinemas pay for broadcasting to AirPods?)
That's exactly what I'm complaining about, yes. Nothing burgers get 9.8, while earth shattering vulnerabilities get 7.5 using the scoring system that the security community uses to describe "severity".

The contradiction of those traditional life goals: providing for parents and having descendents, isn't about abandoning one's children. Rather, it's about making those choices willingly and consciously, and without sacrificing your own well-being.

Many Asian parents treat their children as their "retirement plan", which places a significant "debt" on those children after they graduate from college (or high school). They're also often expected to have at least one male descendant to carry on the family name, who, in return, is expected to ensure their financial support after they retire, just like how they did to their parents.

This system is an infinite loop that places a massive financial burden on everyone in society, consuming their lives, and ultimately benefiting no one. It's good to provide for loved ones and raise children, but both are significant commitments and should be considered choices, not obligations.

Well that's his point. But in the context of this discussion, if he's writing a post about English idioms and expressions and writes like that, no one is going to take his opinion seriously.
Plus even if they hadn't, the scandal would still be that they're using a third-party messaging app to conduct official business, in violation of multiple big laws that would put any normal government employee straight to jail.

They're breaking the law to keep their work-discussion secret from their employer (the US taxpayer), likely so that they didn't have to think twice before discussing something that might be another crime or war-atrocity.
Because that footage was AI generated. I can’t figure out why though.
Saying “both sides” is free PR for the worst side. They’ve never been close since the turn of the century when the right-wing reaction to 9/11 included people rationalizing vile smears against their political opponents and it’s just become more and more unbalanced now, especially when you consider the power disparity.
Dont forget Powerline adapters - if you have it all on one loop they are surprisingly effective if you have extra power sockets!
Money is, of course, the obvious answer.

But I think more importantly, it's about demeaning government. There is a widespread notion that government does not do anything well, and private companies do everything better.

The Post Office is an easy target, because people interact with it directly. Every single missing letter/parcel is evidence that the government is bad. (Even if wasn't actually sent via USPS.) Every stamp price increase is proof of government incompetence. And that means the entire government is incompetent.

They may or may not actually care whether the Post Office itself is privatized. But it is an effective ideological football.

Zapier MCP – Let your AI use 30k real-world actions without building APIs
We just launched Zapier’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) – a simple way to give your AI the power to do real things like sending emails, updating spreadsheets, scheduling meetings, and more, across 8,000+ apps.

Instead of building custom integrations, you expose Zapier actions to your model with a single endpoint. It’s secure, scalable, and works with any LLM that supports function calling or tools.

Git is unnecessary here anyway.

Git is useful for collaboration of multiple people on the same project. Is law making a collaboration? Typically there is a single person which signs the bill into a law. But there is collaboration during work on the bill, though.

But I do not think that people who make laws want to write git commands in the console. They want the GUI (ideally integrated into Microsoft Word). And if we are making GUI why not drop git and use a traditional relational database for storing the data?
