It doesn't. There are cases where the type-checker can't know the type (e.g. json.load has to return Any), but there are tools in the language to reduce how much that happens. If you commit to a fully strictly-typed codebase, it doesn't happen often.

So giant corporations should pressure democratically elected leaders to go against the policies that their people elected them for, to benefit foreign interests?

It's funny to hear people in the comments here talk about XML in the past tense.

I know it's passé in the web dev world, but in my work we still work with XML all the time. We even have work in our queue to add support for new data sources built on XML (specifically QIF https://qifstandards.org/).

It's fine with me... I've come to like XML. It's nice to have a standard, easy way to do seschemas, validators, processors, queries, etc. It can be overdone and it's not for every use case, but it's pretty good at what it does.
Anyone know what makes these trees better able to take the hit? Do they insulate their trunks and hope to channel the strike through parasitic vines and competing trees? Or do they grow some kind of highly conductive guide to easily channel the strike to ground?

Neither seems plausible to me. The first perhaps is a bit less unlikely... I presume there is a third option that I missed.

Ubuntu 24.10 - works just fine. I lose about 1% battery per hour while suspended. I’ve made no Os config changes. It just works like most Linux experiences I’ve had the last few years with not bleeding edge hardware.

> much less pollution

Comparatively? Perhaps. One look at the Vembanad Lake and you'll know what I'm talking about: https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/high-levels-of-fa... It stinks these days.

> Kerala has a 96% literacy rate

Lieracy surveys aren't as rigorous; likely 5% to 20% drop from reported numbers: https://www.dataforindia.com/measuring-literacy/

> still holds much of the charm

As someone who visited Kerala multiple times a year, things have gotten worse both climate wise & pollution wise. Though, the monsoon gods still bless Kerala, it isn't as green as it used to be. I've found (under similar climatic conditions) the Sri Lankan lowlands (West coast) to be more greener. Ditto for rainforests of NE India & SE Asia.
Have you read the Communist Manifesto? It also makes Communism sound like a good idea. Nevermind that Kerala doesn't have a particularly high GDP per capita even by southern Indian standards. It's not rich by any rational measure, not in median income or otherwise. There is a lot of poverty, slightly better compared to some of the northern states but then South India in general does a bit better than the north so there isn't anything particularly noteworthy.

Btw, for some historic context this part of India used to be extremely rich in the past by global standards, centuries ago. They became rich with international trade. Modern India is nowhere close to its wealthy past, the subcontinent as a whole produced the largest percentage of the world's GDP during Late Antiquity, surpassing China and all others!

I just came across a video of a 21-year old dev who built an AI tool to pass leetcode questions.

This guy is so good at problem solving, he solved the entire coding interview problem and honestly, if you could build something like that, a company should just hire you straight up without any questions.

I personally hate some of these coding interviews because if I built a SAAS that's makes 2mil annual revenue and I apply to work for a FAANG company. I will probably be asked if I can reverse a linked list or sort a list and if I am not able to, it means that I am not good enough.

What I am saying is that, the experience of me building a product being used by many people is ignored and until I prove that I can sort a list or reverse a linked list, I am not good enough which I personally think is bad.

I would never endorse cheating in an interview.... but these companies all missed an opportunity to hire someone who seems absolutely brilliant. Would I want to hire someone who just cheated on my interviews in a boring old school way? No. Would I want to hire someone who built an AI tool that allowed them to flawlessly cheat in my interviews and circumvent the anti-cheating measures we thought we had? Absolutely.

Before my first interview, I solved around 1000 problems on LeetCode. After five years of working as a developer, I never — never — had to use that knowledge. So now, I barely remember any of that stuff.
Kerala is rich by Indian standards, but its GDP per capital is still only around $3500/year, making it nowhere near rich by world standards.

I use it regularly, and used to use GitHub Copilot.

I think Cursor is probably overhyped and not worth the money, and I want to explore switching back to Copilot or trying Cody, or other alternatives. However, it's hard for me to test against GitHub Copilot because the latter's tab-completion conflicts with Vim keybindings in VSCode. If the AI-autocomplete from GitHub Copilot can get the job done, I would not keep using Cursor, I would pay the smaller amount for Copilot instead.

I don't use the Cursor chat much, because it's worse than just copying and pasting code back-and-forth between IDE and "native" ChatGPT. IME, it is better than Copilot's though.

WakaTime offers business/enterprise licensing, where self-improvement/introspection suddenly looks exactly like corporate task management, employee surveillance, and performance metrics.

So, "leaderboard" (fun!) becomes "stack-ranking" (vicious!).

How do you see Wakana positioned and used, in practice?

* Will it be used by the individual for self-improvement and time management?

* Will metrics-crazed companies use it to whip-crack employees?

* Will even a non-corporate leaderboard/ranking be twisted and gamed for self-promotion?

I didn't downvote, but your comment is fairly deep in a subthread about a different topic, so it's out of place.
>And read it out loud! If you cannot, at least get an AI voice actor to read it for you. You catch so many more problems that way.

Definitely agree.

I initially included this in the article but I took it out because I wanted to limit to just advice I didn't see covered much elsewhere, but I always tell people to read their writing aloud.

I don't think an AI voice would get most of the benefits, though. For me, a lot of what I notice when I read my writing aloud is that I find myself naturally finishing sentences in a way that departs from what's on the page. And however I finished the sentence naturally almost always is a better rewrite than what was originally there.
I don't understand why so many modern motherboards continue to include ps/2 connections on their rear i/o panels.
As an aside, fake books are a great way to get your feet wet learning how to extemporize while still having some guidance around the chord progression and melody.

The main advantage of the new SBCs is simplicity vs anything more modern and easier to deal with than a retro computer. The advantage of a retro computer is it has some intrinsic value and probably a large body of contemporary software.
You get this jarring tonal whiplash when you add funny images to an otherwise serious text. The images detract from the message you are trying to convey. It also risks triggering a skimming behavior where the reader is just skipping between the images.

It also appears insecure and juvenile, as though you're not fully confident that what you are saying will stand on its own without attempts at comedy, and ironically raises questions about the age and experience of the author.

Of course there are exceptions, but as a rule of thumb, I would strongly avoid this pattern of communication.

I think LLM skeptics and cheerleaders all have a point but I lean toward skepticism. And that's because though LLMs are easy to pick up, they're impossible to "master" and are extremely finicky. The tech is really fun to tinker with and capable of producing some truly awesome results in the hands of a committed practitioner. That puts it in the category of specialized tools. Despite this fact, LLMs are hyped and valued by the markets like they are breakthrough consumer products. My own experience plus the vague/underwhelming adoption and revenue numbers reported by the major vendors tell me that something's not quite right in this area of the industry.
Yeah there are some interesting similarities. However, the biggest difference is Google has the right to keep source proprietary, and companies like Unity are allowed to provide source code with a reference only license (still proprietary), but the US has FOIA to help push information into the open. Does a DB schema fall under FOIA scope? I think a better question is, can (or is) a db schema being used to conceal information? Is the law attempting to reinforce this barrier?

In other words, it should not be about the intent of the requester, but the intent of its owner; and in the case of that article, either by bias in narrative, or the fact that it rhymes with events of the past, there is some tomfoolery about.
Kind of, except anything that moves can not move, so the simple act of decompression can introduce errors that simply wont occur in the raw PCM-wrapped WAV file since nothing has been compressed at all (hence no extra moving part).

I really liked that linked article btw.
That may be but the topic of the thread is how rich Kerala supposedly is, not how super awesome their public train announcements are. The claim is not just false, the article is outright propaganda given how one of the co-authors works for the state government.
Cost of disposal for plastic is very small. You can get it into a well-made landfill for a couple pennies per pound in the US. Charging manufacturers an extra little fraction of a penny for an item isn't a bad idea but it wouldn't affect much. What matters is government desire to handle trash properly.

Is there a standard notation for the product of all even numbers up to N and for the product of all odd numbers up to N? I know if N is even then the product of evens is = (N/2)! * 2^(N/2) so I guess notation for that is a little redundant, but there is no simple formula for the product of the odd numbers.

You should know who you are donating to (even if you decide to donate). Institute for Justice is a Koch-funded operation that has been focused on their agenda more than civil rights. Possibly my information is somewhat out of date, but note even the propaganda-oriented name as a cover for Koch operations, sort of like the PATRIOT act.

From a purely non-expert, external view, this looks like clickbait. According to the article itself, 1. she tried to smuggle undeclared research material into the US, knowingly (according to messages in her phone); 2. she was given the options and picked the one she wanted; 3. She claimed credible fear and was put into the right pipeline for that; 4. She is now waiting for the next step in the process.

To be honest this doesn’t look like anything remotely as disturbing as being accosted and kidnapped by masked plain-clothes agents in broad daylight.

I find for deeply hierarchical data that XML is much easier to read.
(author)

I am of two minds about this. On the one hand, the polling says that members of every district are substantially more pro-housing than politicians believe they are. That's one of the points that I'm trying to make in this article: people in your district will reward pro-housing work and economic growth more than incubants believe they will.

On the other hand, 80% of the work we do at YIMBY Action is organizing visible constituencies in districts to incentivize politicians taking pro-housing positions. The phrase I always say is "politicians get to the heads of parades; we are building a parade."

And on a third hand, I do think we can build an ever-bigger parade by getting people who think they benefit from the status quo to realize they don't actually. Small businesses benefit from housing. Suburbanites complain that teachers can't afford to live in the school district and they're loosing people. etc etc etc. I think those arguments are permeating and softening a lot of housing-resistant districts.
That really depends on which main board you're using.

Maybe 23andMe was (certainly they seemed to be based on the idea that all disease would be single-gene, single-mutation, mendelian inheritance).

But many modern treatments for cancer use genetic tests to determine if the treatment would be effective. Because most cancer treatments are truly challenging (serious side effects), we want to know whether the patient would respond. This has already been integrated with the treatment process and from what I understand, it's not junk science, and is fairly successful.
I was opining about reading or converting PDFs on an 8-bit processor. And you're...I dunno what this is but it's certainly not a response to anything I said.
Big parallel ports?
There was some proprietary DB-something connectors (for example, the Olivetti M24/AT&T 6300 had one), but if you're younger than 40 you likely have been using an AT connector (basically PS/2, but physically larger) for the keyboard, and a DB-9 or DB-25 for the serial mouse - and that is easy to mistake for a parallel port.

PS/2 and AT refer to the IBM computer models where the connectors were introduced, of course.
The article links to a Linux implementation that does it with off the shelf WiFi hardware. You do need specific features in the hardware/firmware, but there are consumer devices that have that e.g. Atheros AR9280.

https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl

It currently drops connections to an AP, but the authors of the implementation seem to believe this could be fixed:

> OWL does not allow a concurrent connection to an AP. This means, that when started, the Wi-Fi interface exclusively uses AWDL. To work around this, OWL could create a new monitor interface (instead of making the Wi-Fi interface one) and adjust its channel sequence to include the channel of the AP network.
They purge the actual images after some time period but keep the metadata (OCRed plate, other identifying features) I assume forever. From a Flock privacy policy:

> Video Clips captured by the LPR system will automatically be deleted after 30 days; although Images are deleted when no longer needed, the data obtained from the Images may be retained indefinitely.
I don't think people realize just how important XML is in this space (complex documentary editing, textual criticism, scholarly full-text archives in the humanities). JSON cannot be used for the kinds of tasks to which TEI is put. It's not even an option.

Nothing could compel me to like XSLT. I admire certain elements of its design, but in practice, it just seems needlessly verbose. But I really love XPath, though.
Interestingly, this might suggest some male wasps' seventh abdominal segment is conserved.

Modern female wasps having other than six abdominal segments I believe to be unknown, and is certainly unknown to me; while fertilized or "foundress" females do share with males the need for extra body space to support functioning and thus unusually large reproductive organs, females specialized for the reproductive role display morphological differences beginning from larvahood to accommodate the task. (In eusocial species, reproductive females or 'gynes' differ from workers or 'ergates' in having the ability to be inseminated; in subsocial species, gynes are raised and fed for the role from birth and as a result simply grow up extra big and strong, with noticeably larger abdomens in body proportion than their sisters whose labor is less deferred.)

edit: Fixed a bug resulting from a Wikipedia editor doing a lousy job with taxonomy. It is actually possible that some lineal relationship exists between structures described here and those of modern male wasps with a seventh gastral segment.
