You can switch them off but only until the engine is turned off again. Most manufacturers have a shortcut on the dashboard or steering wheel though. Eventually you just get used to doing that every time you start driving.

This approach is also what I'm still missing in agentic coding. It's even worse there because the AI can churn out code and never think "I've typed the same thing 5x now. This can't be right.".

So they never make the change easy because every change is easy to them... until the lack of structure and re-use makes any further changes almost impossible.

I've once received a USB-C charger with a portable breast milk warmer device that outputted 18V at 2A without doing PD negotiation.

That fried another device when I plugged it in.

This is non compliant in the EU, but when I reported it to the responsible authorities, they didn't feel like doing anything about it.

We are talking about a charger that can fry any device and potentially cause a fire, coming with a product aimed at people with babies, that's clearly non compliant to be sold in the EU, and they are doing nothing at all. Pretty shocking if you ask me.

It was Austria, and I think it's pretty telling that when free speech limitations come up in these kind of threads, it's always neo-Nazi stuff.

I was naively hoping that with the M4 iPad the opposite of this would happen and they would let us unlock the power of this device so I could use it as my dev machine when I'm traveling.

Instead, no real improvements are coming to iPad OS and if you're not gaming or video editing, all you get to do is marveling at how powerful your YouTube player is in benchmarks.

Please Apple, let the Pro device finally be a Pro device and let us use virtualization.

Kiel has a tiny airport that doesn't have any scheduled services, but they have a large port with ferry and cruise terminals.

For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev

It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.

Since I switched I haven't looked back.

Strong types aren't just a correctness guarantee, they also help to discover structure and interfaces that previously were implicit.

If a developer can jump into an unknown part of a codebase and quickly see that following a certain structure will automatically make their code work for them without needing to read all the code first and double checking if it's just a random convention versus a strict interface so they don't reinvent the wheel or build code that doesn't fit in with the existing structure, then that's worth a lot and something you cannot simply cover with tests.

Your comment history explicitly mentions that you are a fascist. I guess nowadays you folks stopped measuring skull shapes and read things into internet comments instead.

Is there any proof that people trying to fly and jumping off a building is actually real? I always assumed it's some sort of anti drug meme that had been around since forever.

Same thing here. The worst part is when websites don't actually require an email confirmation to keep using them. In the beginning I've tried to reach out to those companies to close the accounts without accessing them but by now I've started just resetting the password and then deleting them. It's just too difficult to do the right thing.

What does "truth" even mean here? All of these things are about society, culture and the human experience. There's no universal truth to be found there.

The best I can do is apply the categorical imperative influenced by my cultural context, upbringing and personal experiences.

useCallback makes sure that you don't recreate a function you need in a component at every re-render but only when its dependencies change. It returns a function.

useMemo returns a value which is the result of calling the function it is given once the dependencies change.

So useCallback is basically useMemo called with a function that returns a function.

I love cacio e pepe. It's such an amazing dish for how simple it is.

One thing that can be tricky is keeping the emulsion smooth and not suddenly have the cheese turn chunky. What I've found very useful there is to put aside some of the pasta cooking water and then blend it up with the cheese on the side using an immersion blender. When you reach a good level of creaminess, you pour it back into the pot with the now drained pasta and use the residual heat of the pot and pasta to slightly reduce it down to the perfect level while constantly stirring.

This should make the whole process a lot more reliable while not changing the flavor by adding more complex ingredients.

As much as I'd love to have the Transrapid, I think for this specific case the ~100 minutes are already pretty much making Hamburg - Berlin flights obsolete, especially with the airports not being super central. You'd need around 40 minutes just to get to Berlin HBF from BER.

I don't even think there are any direct flights between Hamburg and Berlin since it's really not worth it.

The earth is 4.5 billion years old so I don't understand what you mean with "400 out of 500 million years".

Also for a lot of that time earth was a hellishly hot place with little life.

The thing is thought that through discovery and feeds it happens often that a much larger amount of folks than the ones belonging to the core community flood in. Downvotes alone won't work because nobody knows how things are supposed to work.

If you have a costume party with 100 people and 10 arrive without costume, they are the outsiders that have to adapt. If 1000 people join your party you're the weird minority and your costume party will be over.

Moderation is also essential to keep communities on topic and enforce a baseline quality level. It doesn't matter for a generic "funny" kind of community, but something like /r/AskHistorians doesn't work without someone ensuring that the guidelines are met.

Of course those can also be grounds for disagreement, and I'd be lying if I'd say that I have never been frustrated with a mod when I posted something that was removed even though it clearly didn't break the rules, but I think that kind of false positive is sort of the price you have to pay to keep a community on track.

I'd rather have that than have everything devolve to low quality and effort Threads.

They would be perfectly monetizable if they wanted to. I'd happily pay for a Reddit premium subscription if I can keep using Apollo, because I use it for the better UX, not to skip ads. But clearly they would rather kill third party apps than take their money.

I wouldn't call the user experience "perfectly fine" though. It's about as "perfectly fine" for exploring the content on a phone as pasta with ketchup is perfectly fine for eating. You won't starve but you also aren't really having a good time.

Your last sentence makes it hard to take any ideas you have about where on the political spectrum anything lies seriously.

Implying what? That the BBC is explicitly tagging their own articles as disinformation because they're just that inept at propaganda? Or could it be that they have a unit fighting disinformation? https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/people/rebecca-sk...

A lot of people with family in Russia will be able to tell you that their Russian side of the family supports Putin so much that they will not even believe their Ukrainian family members when they're telling them that they are getting bombed. I've seen it in my own extended family, heard it from others and there's also an article about it from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60600487

We should really not underestimate how much support there is for Putin in Russia.

I'm playing on a PC with a 4-5 year old i7, a very fast M2 SSD and an RTX2080. Performance is overall good at relatively high presets and the majority of normal gameplay is ok in terms of bugs. However, every time I get into a car, after about 30 seconds of driving, the game hard crashes to the desktop with a memory access violation. That makes it sort of unplayable once you advance from the beginning and need to travel longer distances. No other game I play has these problems. It's very frustrating because I actually like the game so far.

I would rather assume that basic consciousness is a property of a certain kind of computation over time that keeps state in a way that allows you to experience the events of the world as a continuous process and track your state in it over time.

Of course one could say that the way that is implemented for us is using matter. Then again one could argue that all matter is just a manifestation of a huge amount of computation.

So we are just computers built on a substrate of manifested computation, and we built even more computers ourselves that way.

Thus I'd argue that anything that can compute and keep state can have consciousness. How intelligence fits into this all, I am not sure.

You say the machine wouldn't have sensations. Yet a cat and a human also are just complex machines. Maybe being a sufficiently complex machine is all that is needed to have sensations.

And if we could imagine for example that an ant or a fly actually experiences things, if it too has some sort of degree of what we as humans have when we see or hear things, maybe there actually already are machines that "see" and "experience" things.

The difference might just be that we as humans have the extra layer of meta observation that allows us to reason about our experience in the context of the world and turn us into an active participant in that experience while an ant or a neural network are mostly just passive observers even though they too make decisions and process information.

Reminds me of an awesome talk at jsconf a while ago.

I have at least three but if you don't why not just buy one and be set for the next eight or so years? It does seem like a huge waste that every device in the foreseeable future will ship with a new USB-C charger that is quite redundant.

I was doing the takeoff tutorial and was wondering why 10 minutes in it still seemed impossible to get to the desired altitude and speed. Turns out they never mentioned that you need to eventually move the flaps back. Once I figured it out by myself I pretty much instantly made it. What kind of tutorial is it where you need to already know how a plane works to learn how a plane works?

as the difficulty and most of the work in a CMS product comes from a front-end (or architectural match, really) that end users can meaningfully interact with and set up dynamic sites, redactional workflows, dynamic user content, theming, analytics+banners, asset management/pipelines, etc., etc. with

Sounds to me like you already made a good case for why those products exist.

Sure, you could also call HTML structured content, but using HTML for expressing the semantics of the content instead of the presentation has always been a bit of a pain. Plus you wouldn't really want to use HTML as a format to share this kind of data with for example mobile applications.

You could use XML, but I'd say that's basically the same as JSON with a fixed schema but with more angle brackets, which is pretty much what those headless CMSs return.

Then on top you need the devs to build the server, and to maintain the DB, to add a querying API, to add SDKs and tooling that enable smooth integrations with the new API, the workflows on top of the pure content, a UI that is intuitive to the people maintaining the content, security audits, scalability for when more parts of the company want to use your tooling etc etc.

Following your reasoning you could also say "Payment provider" is a marketing term for something that is just a DB that needs to sync with some banking APIs and AWS is just APIs in front of some DBs and VMs and analytics solutions are just a JS SDK on top of some DB.

Fundamentally everything we build is just some kind of frontend or abstraction on top of a DB. I don't see how that makes it in any way pointless.
