I didn't read "allied/subordinate" to mean "allied = subordinate," but rather to mean differentiate between "willing alliances" and "unwilling or begrudgingly accepted alliances."

Alternatively, one could interpret "subordinate" to be one of the COFA[1] nations, for example (not saying I read it that way, but if this were a debate class and I was assigned to make the argument that these states are subordinates of the US, I probably could).

It is nationalist. Type in "Hungarian inventions".

You will see: computer (Neumann), holography, discovery of vitamin C, ballpoint pen, helicopter, electric locomotive, telephone exchange, Word and Excel, and so forth.

I mean, I am Hungarian, so what? Why should I be proud "to be Hungarian" because those things were invented by Hungarians (outside of Hungary, mostly in the US I believe)? I don't get it.
I'll cop to treating them as a mix of "backward and silly" and "malevolent violent threat to the continued existence of people I love". There are a lot of reasons to disdain American Christianity, and my personal experience with the exercise of that religion makes it extremely hard to treat its practicioners with anything other than distrust and contempt.

Well, the status is a disaster but it's an ever decreasing disaster, and when evaluating "do lots of renewables help?" I think it makes more sense to look at the direction of where the puck is going rather than where it started from before the renewables were added. (And one note, Texas' power sector emissions also include lots of "extra" emissions from fossil fuel consumption that should be attributed to the downstream consumers of those fossil fuels).

It is a complex issue, and while public key encrypted exchanges could bootstrap a remote secure session (gpg/pgp etc.) to re-key the ssh server... there still is no guarantee someone isn't keeping a copy of that ssh session with the key-pair before you logged in as root.

One should not completely trust TOFU over remote sessions, but it is the most practical solution. This is the inconvenient secret of cloud technology, and why the hosting company web panels often include abstracted firewall/vpn settings or proprietary key management (or the same authoritative problem manifests.)

Edit: one thing the Trump-Vance administration has done is tear through the tissue-paper screen of "rules based international order" rhetoric, exposing to plain view that we live in a world of great powers and international anarchy.

> Do programmers generally enjoy some amount of complexity?

Yes, to their own (and the team's) detriment.

I really hate complex/clever/dense code. Just about as much as I hate "Look I found a want to look through this and write it once instead of mapping every property 1-by-1"!

Every, single, time I've seen that "shortcut code" it's turned from:

foreach($item as $key => $value) {
$newItem->$key = $value
}

Into

foreach($item as $key => $value) {
if(/*special case 1*/) {
// Special Logic
} else if(/*special case 2*/) {
// Special Logic
} else if(/*special case 3*/) {
// Special Logic
} else if(/*special case 4*/) {
// Special Logic
} else {
$newItem->$key = $value
}
}

In record time.

Just doing:

$newItem->keyOne = $item->keyOne;
$newItem->keyTwo = $item->keyTwo;
$newItem->keyThree = $item->keythree;

Is much more maintainable and gives you unlimited "hooks" if you need special logic for a given key.

Note: this is a contrived example as the keys are the same, most cases I've seen this in dealing with mapping DTOs (maybe going from snake_case to camelCase) in/out of a system, a use-case where I 100% do not want "magic".

I've moved from code-golfing and being as clever as I can to loving boilerplate and verbose code.
I wonder if software engineers should take something like a modified LSAT. I do think that testing the ability to do some basic coding logic problem does get at the ability to break apart and understand the kind of problems one faces when turning requirements into business logic. I may be the only person in the world that doesn't really see a problem with the way we interview folks, when done skillfully.

>> I would be surprised if Delphi 5 ran without a hitch on Windows 10/11

I'd be surprised if it didn't. Not Delphi, but I've been helping a client update their Windows program, from a compiler which shipped in 1998. Their program, with that compiler, runs just fine on Windows 11.

The backward compatibility of the Win32 API is such that I regularly use programs last compiled 20 years or more ago.
Marx himself would say so. Key to Marxism is studying history to come up with a scientific theory which predicts the future course of society. If individuals can change the course of history through shear force of their will, bending society in unpredictable ways to suit their individual fancy, that throws a wrench into it.

But can anybody seriously say that if not for Napoleon, there surely would have been some other French general, inspired by Julius Caesar to conquer everything he could, who was simultaneously also a master tactician with enough skill to get as far as Napoleon did? I can buy the premise that somebody else in that political environment might have tried, but to get so far and embroil most of the world in war as Napoleon did wasn't a deterministic predictable consequence of the circumstance. You can probably predict a civil war, but not the Napoleonic Wars.
Yeah. I've been coding with AI a bunch lately, and MCPs sound like a good cool way forward, but having to setup a new iteration for each tool is still a process .... glad to see Zapier take care of it.

Bryan mentioned they've got Zapier Agent too, which can take care of automating choosing the integrations, but I've not played with it yet (https://x.com/bryanhelmig/status/1904220766847066225).

1. The 1903 Flyer did not use a catapult. It did use a single rail, as taking off from sand is not very practical.

2. There's a lot of question about Pearse's first flight, as to its date and whether it happened at all - because Pearse left behind no photos, drawings, documentation, or the airplane.

3. Edison's claims are fully documented, witnessed, patented, and litigated.

It's called sidetone. Headsets do it so your ears don't feel clogged and to avoid subconscious yelling.

Some headsets let you adjust it either through a regular Sidetone volume control or some dedicated app. Soundcards also often have this feature in the form of a Mic output volume control, done in hardware to reduce latency.

A significant difference in headset quality is in sidetone latency. The heavier the DSP processing required to get a reasonable mic output, the harder it is to hit latency targets. Headset SoCs have dedicated hardware for this - a user-space solution like Apple pulls on their laptops would not be able to meet a usable latency target.

> Another benefit is not paying the '90s GSM handsfree BT profile codec pain

LE Audio includes the LC3 codec, solving this once and for all.

In the meantime while this rolls out, various alternate codecs exist that are fairly widely supported. This is especially true when using fancier headsets with a dedicated bluetooth dongle as they have more flexibility when it comes to codecs and compatibility.
> And it hasn't stopped them from coming back into power, once the mess from their last misadventure has been cleaned up.

I'm sure the Democrats at some point will come back into power in a 50%+1 squeaker, but that will be bad for the country and another step in its decline.

If they want to be the people to actually answer this crisis, instead of ratifying it, they damn well better own thier loss and internalize what that means about them. They lost to Trump, twice, FFS. The only Democrat who could beat him was a fossil from another time (and he only won by a hair). The Democrats suck. They need reform into something else for the sake of the God-damned country.
The Flyer was a canard design which would be considered a non-standard configuration today. And I respect the Wrights a lot, but the last book I read on them said that if they hadn't invented their aircraft, someone else in the world would have done it within 10 years. The Wrights were in touch with other experimentalists around the world like Cayley, Lilienthal and drew from their work. Also the science of fluid mechanics was way further ahead of aeronautical engineering with guys like Prandtl at Caltech (though an airplane isn't just challenged fluids problems). So stuff like the airfoil and prop optimization probably would have followed from that as well.
I think there's a wide variety of ways this gets taught (in the US at least).

But if you go to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum where the Wright Flyer is currently on display, maybe a third of the room's displays document the achievements of the wide array of pioneers of flight besides the Wright Brothers, followed by maybe another third of the room documenting the fast followers who competed with the Wright Brothers (and many of their tragic deaths).
No, it was a pretty low value comment, but I don’t think I can DM you to give you the feedback. I did intend to give my feedback with respect if that makes any difference.

For slightly more advanced value objects, check out the gem[1] I wrote. It has a bit more depth in how it "enhances" every attribute to behave as you'd expect, to improve the object's clone-ability, freezability, inheritability, declarative style of attribute definition, and a few more perks. All while remaining super small/simple in the way it's implemented.

I think the biggest problem is that Christianity is a font of power for fascism in America. If we want to change that, people need to start protesting churches the same way they are Tesla. But for some reason, churches seem exempt from political responsibility in the minds of the average non-fascist American.

That's not at all the takeaway. macOS has the requisite software built-in; the hardware is designed in such a way that it requires software assistance to function, which is a choice that has advantages and disadvantages. The OP exists for situations where you aren't running Apple's own beamforming software on this hardware (to my understanding)

Imperialism is when you take all the resources capitalists poured into your country because you had horrendously low labor costs and use them to develop yourself into an economic superpower rather than meekly continuing to be the factory for cheap crap for western nations. Got it.
I added my credentials to address the "malicious scientist" scenario that some people may associate with leaked genetic information. You dont need an individual's genome to create rather dangerous gentic weaponry.

For example, we now have cell-penetrating prime editor ribonucleoproteins, a derivation of the CRISPR system. These are essentially assembled molecular machines that can be loaded install almost any genetic mutation, such as tumor driver mutations. A picogram of this protein complex is potentially enough to riddle your body with cancer a couple of years after delivery.
IN https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-beats-the-heat/ , there is a very interesting quote.
"The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has also been lauded for its growth in storage, but when put into perspective of load, the gap remains quite large. Comparing all-time peak load and peak storage discharge (non-coincident), ERCOT's battery fleet would have met less than 5% of demand, while CAISO's battery fleet would have met about 16%, more than triple the value in Texas."

Absolute numbers are not the right metric when one of the states doesn't care about efficiency and decides to generate more and more electricity. Then absolute number are huge but percentages of renewal are very low.

They literally vote for the most insulting person available, again and again. If anything, Trumps winning twice and conservatives in general getting votes is that being polite and nice is completely failing strategy. Democrats and centrists were nice and respectful for years while conservative were increasingly insulting ... and increasingly oversensitive creating outrages over nothing.

This demand for one sided niceness that amounts to submissivity was is is contraproductive.

The meat of the article are actual bad acts. You are just using the tone to distract from the actual accusations.
We (the species) have spent the last several centuries avoiding the tradeoffs that you allude to.
That's a really good source (albeit from 2017), but while it does support your argument that sales by other companies dwarf those by Coca-Cola, the latter is still firmly in first place, with 3.3 billion liters sold -- as much as the companies placed 2 to 4 combined.
Eh.

Nixon helped bring China into the global community and the economic ties help bring (hundreds of?) millions out of extreme poverty and built up a major trade partner. Now with China's success the very free trade policy between our countries needs to be adjusted and slowly dialed back towards fairness.

The problem being there are plenty of actors whose motivation isn't "balancing what's best for my country and the world" in a fair way but just "whatever is best for me right now", and the shortsighted selfishness (which in different actors both supports and opposed similar policies for different reasons) really gets in the way of arriving at an optimal outcome for everyone.

And all this stuff could work directly locally, it'd even make alternatives possible and it'd be an immensely better experience. It would eliminate the latency it takes for the requests to reach halfway across the world and back. It would also eliminate a lot of the privacy and security concerns.

What makes it worse is that these cloud connections also tend to be insecure and unreliable or both. I've seen multiple vendors (including Miele) make unencrypted connections to their cloud. (Try blocking port 80 outgoing on your firewalls.)

I've also set up a bit of monitoring for a few appliance manufacturer's clouds - these cloud services have outages all the damn time. To an extent it makes sense given that nobody is explicitly paying for them. On the other hand it's a terrible omen for the longevity of such services. (I can't wait to buy an expired appliance manufacturer's domain.)

I can't imagine a solution to this mess either besides legislation, like forcing some open access at least on EOL.
I did, but isn't that rule saying exactly the same thing as I said above, just in different words?
That sounds perfect to me. Often on low-spoons days, I'll ask ChatGPT to do exactly this, break down a task or recipe into the simplest, concrete steps to be taken. It's meant to be used when your mental energy is low enough that "obvious" things don't seem obvious anymore, and you need them broken down into a form that doesn't assume or ask anything of you.

It's like taking an old school BASIC program and modularising it into small self-contained functions. That may increase the lines of code by a lot, but it still makes it simpler and easier to process because you only need to keep one function in mind at a time.
El Capitan can also do FP8. HPC requires double precision generally but people are trying to make low precision work.

I'd really love a voice based AI tool that will follow up with me on projects and next steps.

So like I'm renovating a house and I've got to find someone to help with drywall, get a new top of the septic, get quotes on the driveway, etc.
Multiply this a few times with my job and side project and so on.

It would be great if it would just ask me what's new with each thing and update tasks and remind me to follow up with the person not calling me back etc.
Of course, all this can be done in your mind or with Todo apps but just something to talk to and nudge would be great.

Backing this one up with my own experience of ADD (I was never hyperactive):

I've tried all the distraction reducing techniques, and the distraction reducing techniques have been tried on me.

In school, I was, at least 70 percent of the time, sent to the isolation desk, facing a wall, only a pencil. This didn't help.

I've tried going to remote cabins, no internet. I've tried no devices. This did not help.

The problem (so far as I've come to understand) is not that I am unusually susceptible to distractions, it's that it's unusually difficult to convert 'needing to do something' into 'focus'.

The problem is not that something derails the train, but that there's no tracks. Starting something does not make it more likely that I'll continue it. Going in a direction doesn't have 'momentum'.

This is very difficult to understand, since it's not really 'a tendency that everyone has but more', it's a different brain. You aren't going to understand it by going 'oh like when I'm distracted', you have to try and create a picture from scratch, not based on your experience, but by listening to people.

Not that what people tell you should be just immediately imported into your worldview, people sure can be wrong about themselves. But you can't necessarily check other people's experiences against your own.

(The word "you" in this comment is referring to the general non-ADHD person)
I don't know why people are down voting you, your observations are something I've sadly noticed happening for a long time now.

The perception of Christianity among people who don't identify with any religion or people who fall into more "liberal" circles has absolutely been tainted by sects/members of Christianity that do not at all represent the teachings in the Bible. There is justifiable resentment towards these groups that spills over into unjustifiable resentment towards Christians as a whole.

I can't count the number of times I've heard, living in California, either said directly to me by someone who didn't know I was Christian, overheard in a conversation, or discussed at some event completely out of pocket claims or insults towards Christianity that most people would find absolutely inappropriate to say about other groups.

It doesn't bother me because I understand where those people saying it are coming from. But it absolutely leads to the phenomenon of otherwise moderate or formerly left leaning Christians moving towards the group that doesn't wear their not so thinly veiled hate openly on their sleeves for something deeply personal and important in their lives. You are the company you keep and shifting over like this brings you more in line mentally overtime with the kind of people you don't want to emulate.

Rational or not rational, it just doesn't feel good as a human being to receive hate and disdain for something you consider an irreplaceable part of your life and worldview.

This doesn't apply solely to Christians and is really something the left has been doing for a long time and why it's been "losing" the propaganda war to the right and seeing so many people who formerly wouldn't want to associate with the kind of rhetoric found there today at least passively accepting it. Rhetoric of the left seems to far more often embrace (at least on a smaller scale between people) snark, putdowns, wholesale "intolerance" ie making individuals feel some combination of bad/guilty/stupid/backwards for "ignorant" views instead of engaging with them openly. The right uses an approach of playing the "reasonable" man that is open to discussion, support, of all views and then slowly getting people to get on board with the more radical ones.
