The problem is that it leads to a classic game theory situation - where if you, an informed citizen, know that cops are allowed to lie to you, that the logical conclusion is to never believe a cop under any circumstance.
It is deeply hostile and likely counter productive to the stated goals of police departments.
There is no way for normal people to distinguish a lawful order given by a police officer from a lie.
The astral team, creators of uv, have also subsumed rye
So it’ll get rolled into UV
While I agree with this in the aggregate and I think this problem is likely to take care of itself for many companies - I can’t help but be frustrated with it right now.
It is unbelievably grating to have colleagues that are plainly over-reliant on LLMs, especially if they’re less experienced. Hopefully the cultural norm around their use gets set quickly. I can’t handle too many more PRs where juniors plug my feedback in to an LLM and paste the response
While they are often used interchangeably, it is not uncommon for people to make the distinction between jail and prison in the US.
It can definitely come across as a “Frankenstein’s monster” type of pedantic correction, but they truly do mean two different ideas in the US
Comparing Rust to blockchain is a level of cynicism that seems deeply self defeating
A large amount of important Python libraries are still missing a good amount of typing - and dealing with third party typesheds is not a good developer experience. The implementation of types in cpython has also been glacially slow and fragmented.
To add to the issue, a huge amount of Python in public repositories is untyped and unversioned- which means that LLMs are pretty bad at getting typing correcting in Python, so the debt is growing much faster than the solutions.
I honestly think that the most viable solution at this point for typing is a typescript-adjacent solution for Python. I’m kind of surprised Microsoft hasn’t put one out yet
Poultry doesn’t usually vote
Sure, but that is the norm for any given game system. Early adopters are enthusiasts who want the latest and greatest and accept that there are few exclusive experiences on the new console. Most hold on to their older system as the catalog of games exclusive to the new system becomes more enticing.
There are already a significant amount of mainstream games that do not release on the switch due to hardware limitations. More robust hardware means that many of those games will be able to be ported to the switch 2.
I suspect the switch 2 will sell well, but it always hinges on game support over the long term
One would hope they learned from the mistakes of the Wii U - and based on their first release about it, and supporting backwards compatibility, it seems they have.
The switch 2, as shown so far is much closer to the original switch’s design ethos than the Wii U was to the original Wii. In a clear marketing mishandling, many people didn’t even know the Wii U was something separate from the Wii. A lot of people thought I was an accessory
No, not even close. Nintendo is not a VC funded startup fighting for their survival. The Nintendo switch 2 is right around the corner and looks like it is going to sell extremely well, after the massive success of the switch 1
Patents are not that expensive to file. They are not diverting any meaningful amount of cash flow to this. This is a side activity of a few employees
The approach I took to make entering data in to sheets a little less awful:
1. Setup the google sheet
2. Create a simple AppScript script that accepts Name/Amount/?Date
3. Attach AppScript to the google sheet
4. Set up shortcut through the Apple Shortcuts app to ask for the inputs and create a simple POST to the script URL
So adding an expense is simply clicking the Shortcut icon and entering in the data. No need to open sheets itself
That’s what they mean by “force” - if this does happen, the government will have a hand in the behind-closed-door negotiations with potential buyers.
Company forced to sell cannot simply set an absurd price to evade regulators, as that would be plainly acting in bad faith
They’re already going after sponsor reads.
On iOS with YouTube premium, I get a button prompt asking if I want to skip a commonly skipped sections.
9/10 it’s the sponsor read. The remaining 1/10 is patreon
I haven’t seen much about it so I’m not sure if im in an A/B test
I can’t help but wish that Apple would provide the handful of features needed to make a Mac mini into a competent home server.
The criticisms of Walmart 15 years ago are still pretty valid today, so I’m not sure this whataboutism really resonates with people.
It seems completely reasonable to split brick and mortar sales from web-based, given that the business model is pretty significantly different.
And AWS
Typically I see “u” used in instances where it is the actual SI Unit prefix for 10^-6, and leaving it as “mirco” is used when in its more common form for “very small”
What does the 50Z unit refer to? I have not come across the term
*In the states
Google filed this complaint to the European Commission - and given the EC’s recent decisions around the tech giants in general- it is probably wise for azure to address this now. This fee is brazenly anticompetitive.
My assumption was that they are looking to stop kids from spraying the cans; in-store vandalism
I would assume that is more tied to vandalism then theft though
I have never seen a evidence that CO2 is a casual agent of disease (extremely obvious exceptions excluded)
As someone who likes the smaller phone form factor, it was a real bummer that they’re discontinuing this size. But on the other hand, as someone who needs to accommodate mobile UI, the mini was a bit of a thorn in my side. Conflicted
TIL— thanks! Now it’s time to painfully go through my slack / email history and see how many times I made this mistake :)
It’s a really bad look for crowdstrike to be going down this route. Then again, I don’t think many companies are going to be adopting crowdstrike in the coming years, so I suppose their only option is to defend their stock value at any cost while the company recoils
There is recourse, just not for normal people, as you eluded to. Companies are and will be continuing to sue crowdstrike, and based on the papers that crowdstrike has posted, the impacted companies are extremely likely to be successful. It seems overwhelmingly likely that the companies are going to be able to convince a judge/jury/arbiter that crowdstrike acted grossly negligent and very plainly caused both direct losses and indirect reputational harm to the companies.
I’m not sure crowdstrike will even fight it, to be honest. I would assume most of this is going to be settled out of court and we will see crowdstrike crumble in the coming years.
I think the key word is “needless” in terms of complexity. There are a lot of k8 projects that probably could benefit from a simpler orchestration system— especially at smaller firms
