They absolutely did. hassleblad23 has absolutely no idea what they're talking about and no experience in the field. It was obviously the wrong move to publish the Akira weakness.
Also likely is attracting a lot of bots and scammers and not having the resources to keep the platform focused on real people.
Well, part of the problem with waiting is that Trump is already starting to disappear people to places like El Salvador with no claims or evidence, violating direct court orders in the process.

Democracy isn't meant to be a process where you become a god-king. If you believe we're supposed to be a country of laws then you should clearly be aghast at this.
Competent writing is much more than idea generation. I think people have no difficulty coming up with ideas. The problem is more to do with phrasing and structuring the ideas, such as grammar, spelling, organization, and transitions. This is where AI helps. People get stuck because they are unable to cogently articulate their ideas in long-form writing.
Not sure from what time is your experience is from, if it’s pre Covid, I would say it’s outdated. Dating apps in the last few years turned into hyper optimised tunnels to get money out of their users while keeping them in the app with algorithms surgically portioning interactions aimed to keep their users swiping.

Maybe.

There’s also folks that pair because they’re a crutch for one or two other engineers. The other engineers never improve or are let go, but softly slow down the team.

There’s also the folks that pair because their code doesn’t make sense on its own. Or they have some config files they’ve refused to check into the repo, etc.

Pairing makes them feel valuable.
Yeah hahah, I suspect a lot of the clicks have already been automated, when I went to sleep it was at around ~4k clicks and in the morning it had gone up to 140k clicks

Curious to see how much load/clicks the hacky Go code will handle
What does it mean to 'economically nuke' an area that is already devoid of economic opportunity?

We should care about the people, not the institutions.
I'm a native English speaker and whether it's harder to read depends on what you mean by "harder". It's immediately obvious what it means (so it's not "harder" in that sense), but on the other hand, it's jarring and distracts me from the point being made.
What are you talking about?

Most books on "Mirtitles" are in English (very good scans and some of them redone via LaTeX) and only a few are in other (mostly Indian) languages.

Just search by name of book (eg. Calculus, Algebra etc.) or name of author (eg. Piskunov, Zeldovich etc.) or book series name (eg. Little Mathematics Library, Science for Everyone etc.) You can also click on the categories listed in blue below the "Follow" button on the right-hand side.

The website is a blog and hence the books are listed in a series of entries. It is a real labour of love and i am grateful to the author(s) that such excellent scientific books are not lost in the mists of time but are available for free to the common public. Every Teacher/Student/Interested Layman should read these books.

Finally, If you (or somebody else) wants to make the site better contact the site author and offer help; i am sure they would appreciate it.
Some of the arguments made when Trump rounded up and deported Venezuelans to El Salvador especially ring true in this aspect. Essentially the government can disappear whoever they want and ship them to a prison in another country without evidence or recourse.
It didn't grief me as much. Just scroll to the conclusion.
I've been writing code professionally for a decade but I've never written so much code in my free time because I can just vibe code it all. I wouldn't do it at work and I probably wouldn't trust a juniors vibes as much as my own but no tools have made me feel quite so powerful.
If I turn off bluetooth and plug my "wireless" Apple keyboard into USB, it works fine, sending data over USB. There's no reason why they couldn't make the mouse the same way.
Though that name came from Wirth as editor. The original name ("A Case against the GO TO Statement") is somewhat less inflammatory.
the debunked theory that certain diseases like alzheimer's and autism are caused by viruses cannot be true because that would mean that they are caused by inflammatory insult and that would mean that vaccines contribute to or cause certain diseases. this is dangerous thinking and should not have a platform anywhere

It is difficult to read this as anything but an attempt to absolve yourself of accepting confirmation bias.

You feel like, your gut tells you. And you land exactly where your beliefs are confirmed and where any response/call to action outside of the status quo is unwarranted.

If you ignored your feelings and took a look you could find the people responsible for these policies gleefully advocating to accelerate and enhance the abuses. It is easier to accept their self-serving lies and Kafkaesque legal machinations than it is to confront the realities of the world we face.
Man that is a whole lot of fluff to differentiate between being able to hire and fire. I wonder what Tim would do.
I think just because this startup botched OKRs they still make a lot of sense.

Intel and Google apparently relied on them heavily in their formative years. But:

- they should be cascading (so conflicting OKRs between departments should not happen)

- you should never, ever tie them to individual performance results/compensation/rewards
This is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing!
I replied specifically to the Google account thing. I don't think political dissidents need much convincing in these matters.
> I don't think the Enigma machine example applies here.

It absolutely does. Your claim is "security through obscurity applies when attacking a cryptosystem, so after you figure out how to break it, you should publish the details". By your logic, the Allies absolutely should have published the details of how they broke the Enigma.

> But in this case any vulnerability in the ransomware will have to be exploited by many of the affected people to decrypt their files, which means wide distribution

Yet again, you show your overwhelming ignorance of the field and basic logic. No, the decryption/exploit does not have to be widely distributed. It's extremely easy to realize that the good guys can just keep it tightly-held and provide a service where files are sent to them for decryption.

You should avoid spreading incorrect and harmful anti-information like this.
I don't think there's anything quite as featureful. For basic sites, Astro is fine, but it's not as powerful. Vite can be used for basic client or server side renders. Nuxt and SvelteKit have some of the basic features.

But I don't think there is a drop-in replacement for ALL that Next does. The strength of Next is in packaging together what would otherwise be like twenty different packages and servers (especially if you make use of all the Vercel specific features). And then it adds incredibly powerful (but often complex) hybrid caching strategies that combine what would traditionally be done by different daemons altogether (a KV store, a memory cache, a HTTP cache, CDN. etc.). And then it adds a bunch of additional features like the middleware layer, image processing and caching, etc. I don't know of any other frontend-focused JS framework with such features in one package.

These are more common in the full-stack world. Next takes some of those traditional backend concerns and puts them in the hands of frontend devs, for better or worse. If you know a bit of both, it can be a great shortcut. If you overestimate your ability/knowledge, it can be a great footgun.
From my experience there are dragons if you try to make this work in general through a mechanism like that. I have only ever regretted this kind of stuff later when the interactions were not entirely clear.

I like this kind of mechanism (circuit-breaker) as a last ditch effort to prevent failures by then erroring out before it does more damage. I never made any good experiences with silently disabling stuff.
> The Roman salute has no direct connection to the Roman Empire. It was largely an invention of the 19th and 20th centuries

Ok.

> You sound like you want to defend the gesture for some reason.

Not at all. I want to defend people who use it and don’t intend to associate with nazism.

> Whether or not he personally identifies with fascist ideology is secondary to the effect of his actions.

That is certainly true. But just because the pitchfork brigade has got riled up, there is no reason to applaud them.
This sounds so stupidly over engineered for a majority of problems spaces

The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart

https://www.amazon.com/The-Engelbart-Hypothesis-Dialogs-eboo...

Centuries of silo thinking and win-or-die ideological and economic competition have finally generated a global crisis. Now either we collaborate on a global scale to solve the new global problems, or we won't survive. The technology is available to do so. Billions of intelligences are waiting to participate. How do we bring the two together? We are at a decision crossroads. And as this book vividly demonstrates, Doug Engelbart as been there all along, waiting for us with the answer.

>> But the team was 5 to zero.

> The team you called pathological? Yeah, it was bad. Missing deadlines is bad. I don't understand where you're confused.

>> [just like 1 to 1 is bad...] Why?

> I already answered. Because of politics a project

I was confused because I thought you were trying to make general points, but apparently you're mired in the minute details of one company and its extremely specific projects and politics.

I'm getting the impression that there were so many idiosyncratic constraints on the project that it simply couldn't have gone any other way, and thus there's no real way to critically evaluate whether things would have gone better with a different arrangement. Be that as it may, I'm not sure what kind of general conclusion we're supposed to draw from such a constrained example? Going back to the linked article, the case of Tim didn't appear to be so constrained:

1) They were thinking of getting rid of Tim, which presumably wouldn't have killed the project entirely.

2) They expected Tim to make more individual contributions, which presumably wouldn't have killed the project entirely either.

3) The team already had a mix of junior and senior engineers, not simply Tim and a bunch of new grads.
The next step is preventing people from leaving.
I think a lot of this idiotic thinking about measuring productivity through "stories" is to pin on the "Agile" industry overselling their low value "methodologies" to the MBA-type managers, which are now unfortunately just about everywhere. Hence you have some clueless person deciding who has to go, based on how many tickets get moved on the board. As Joel Spolsky once said, no software company can succeed unless a programmer is at the helm.

This is my vote, except I don't know which one it is.
I’ve seen this argument play out many times. I believe the next line is: “QNX proved that micro kernels can be fast given clever message passing syscall design.”

“I remember running the QNX demo disc: an entire graphical operating system on a single 1.44MB floppy! Whatever happened to them?”

“They got bought by blackberry, which ended as you’d expect. QNX had a lot of success in automotive though.”

“Nowadays Linux and Android are dominant in new cars, though, proving once and for all that worse is better.”

By your numbers the payback period would be about 3.5 years. A bit more for a transfer switch and some wiring and other accessories.

That seems like reasonable investment.
Unfortunately, you're still operating in the land of norms. We don't know, he's moving so fast and breaking so many laws and gutting so many institutions and making so many threats and ideas that we just cannot keep up.

At this point, your assumption of even having elections in 2028 could be faulty. Remember, there was an attempt overthrow the US government in 2021 by Trump.

But to answer your question: he can basically do anything he wants and the only thing that could stop him is mass refusals or the Republicans in legislation. There is nothing else.
Apples, not oranges. This isn't for 3d models and scenes- think of it as a fancy version of streetview or an apartment walkthrough. Those project pictures onto a sphere around you. Gaussian splats are an improvement that uses multiple images to interpolate viewpoints- take two pictures from different angles, and guassian splats let you take a look from between those views, or above or below them.

This method uses ai to generate even more unseen structure, so with relatively few images you can still represent a real scene with some level of fidelity. It will never need dynamic lights or animation because the point is just to look as close as possible to a still image. Splats do that FAR better and more efficiently than you ever could with dynamic lighting, triangulated models, and visual effects.

I was poking a bit of fun at this language but I wouldn’t discredit the deeper emotions that trees evoke in humans.

There is something whimsical about having such competitions.
They just wanted the CLA to support the (paid) relicensing.

I think the reasoning (as it was explained to me) was that when people made their original contributions, they were agreeing to the license at that time (in this case GPL, but for other projects MIT). But the other contributors never agreed that the main maintainer could relicense their contributions for a fee.

The upshot was that we went with an in-house fully-proprietary alternative. More expensive, probably lower quality.
> using the same language on the backend and frontend is underrated feature

I agree, but you can definitely do this without SSR or Next.JS. Common examples are tRPC, Zodios, or even just plain fetch calls with shared type definitions.

I've recently been reading lots of books about 50/60/70s computing & especially the San Francisco element of it, so I've been watching Engelbart's demo myself on and off for the last few weeks. It really is amazing being "close" to all this time of history, even if the only way we can interact with it is over USB nowadays!

Tiniest footnote correction but not only were the desk & offices designed by Herman Miller; the chair Engelbart is sitting on during the demo was also specially designed by Herman Miller!
Unlike any of those countries, the majority of Canada's population lives almost touching the border. And most of that is in a single strip. They also don't have an environment conducive to guerilla warfare.

The advantage they do have is a modern military and, maybe, French nukes.

Any modern leader not thinking of nuclear proliferation as a form of self defense at this point is a fool.
But there are significantly more amounts of livestock in contact with those fewer humans.

Think of it this way: more total numbers = more opportunities for viruses to grow or mutate = more chances for runaway or novel infections. Runaway infections are dealt with fairly well by government entities. Novel infections... might be harder to discover because they're, well, novel.
The first problem can be fixed by CI/CD, and proper branching strategies. Each IC should have their own branch, then PR into appropriate branch

Have no idea on the second, other than a visit from HR.
Crazy. This clearly demonstrates their focus on output, even at the expense of cost-effectiveness.

Session storage should be preferable to JWT auth all things remaining same
There are usually two ways of authenticating an incoming request for accessing an API resource.

1. The authentication key or password can be passed through a JSON field or authorization header. This can be compared to the key already stored in session storage. The simplest approach is `authorizationKey == session('key')`. This requires you to have session storage feature on the backend.

2. The JWT approach relieves you from session storage but then it needs to compute the signature verification (HMAC/RSA/ECDSA) for each incoming API request.

Thus, the first approach requires you to have session storage, and the second approach doesn't need session storage but at the cost of extra computing overhead for performing cryptographic calculations.

Considering that RAM is usually cheaper than processing power, it makes far more economic sense to use the former approach everywhere for authentication than the latter. Especially as you start scaling the app to millions of requests, that's when the VPS hosting bill amount starts rising and the approach will need optimization.

Lots of type-level programming for tracking resources, hardware access, and capabilities at compile-time and trying to bring some of the underlying kernel guarantees up to the compiler because finding out about and debugging issues at runtime was just the absolute worst.
That misses the point. The OP's original use case is for a middleware to wrap a client request. The middleware would reject such multipart requests from the client.

It's good if you are looking for clearer weather, and bad if you follow the science of stratospheric ozone depletion. ( Counter intuitive. )
Microkernel does not mean it uses capabilities. And "very fat microkernel" is an oxymoron. The definition of a microkernel is that they do as little as possible in the kernel.
people love to talk about a game being realistic or not realistic without asking whether more realism = more fun. Usually the answer is no. Doing collision detection on every bullet on every frame is a cost that may or may not be worth it, depending on the overall design of your game. "Games take shortcuts" is really flattening the discussion and acting like the game developers don't know these things that the very smart blogger knows, when in reality, game developers know this stuff and make conscious design decisions. Most games are not designed to be scientific modeling programs, they're entertainment products, governed by questions about entertainment value, not simulation accuracy. Plus in real life you're not going to receive a network packet that says "a bullet whose trajectory will hit you in the skull will reach you in 0.7 seconds" and give cheaters enough time to auto-duck with a script. Even if you can afford to do collision detection on every bullet on every frame, there are many other reasons why it might not be a good idea. Hitscan is a design option, not something that's "right" or "wrong".
I agree, Vite is amazing. I've found that it addresses all of my complaints from Webpack and Create React App.

The ecosystem seems to be standardizing around Vite which is nice!
