I wasn’t excited about Tahoe but it was the best release I’ve encountered. They fixed spotlight and window management enough that I no longer need to rely on third party tools to replace those native features (I still use Rectangle for the keyboard shortcuts, but not for window snapping).

I also appreciate that it comes with dynamic wallpaper of the lake where I got the worst sunburn of my life.


Here is a whole seminar series on SQL alternatives https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSE8ODhjZXjbpOIrZheFWxk...

It’s pretty interesting!


Zeolites are better


I went to a small liberal arts school where the IT department recruited CS students under work study to build the systems. It’s a good learning experience for students to be involved in constructing and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps the university running. I don’t mean this entirely as in cost savings, but because I like the idea of a university being self maintained.


It’s a great system until every department is angry at the one for messing up the system.

As a system provider you take responsibility not only for maintenance, but also to tank the blame once something invariably goes wrong


Eastern Washington has a lot of hot desert


Washington indeed has a giant desert but it's in the middle fwiw, the SERE school is in Spokane


Spokane is in the Eastern arid region of the state.


What an absolutely pointless thing to get pedantic about. Put "spokane washington" into Google images and tell me if that looks like a desert to you.

This is the view outside of Fairchild AFB, which runs the training course in question.

Wikipedia reports that Spokane has a Mediterranean climate, as does Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province where this F-15 is reported to have been shot down.


It's sad how quickly this comment thread went from someone talking about their experience at SERE to... this.


On the contrary, as a European who only associates Washington State with the rainy Seatle I found the reality check rather enlightening.


WA has a crazy collection of microclimates. Ho oh rainforest, alpine at the various mountains, Yakima desert, mild and wet near Seattle, dry plains in the east of Cascades, etc.


Asperger’s spans the continents! It’s inspiring.


They're also wrong. The geographic center (around Ellensburg or so) is also in what is known as Eastern WA (east of the Cascades).


Spokane is Eastern Washington, the college in Cheney is literally called Eastern, its just not a desert.


Spokane is not desert. Even surrounding territory is more plains. Some desert military training happens at Yakima much further west.


I think UV and Ruff showed us how much better Python tooling could be. Just setting a higher bar has move. OS forward


Sometimes I want coffee before I make my coffee


The trick is to prep your coffee machine the night before. I've only done it a few times, but it was very nice to wake up to that surprise.


I would be surprised if the code was hidden from other people engineers.


How are you hiding it from IDA pro though?


We have tons of space on earth. Cooling in space would be so expensive.


Falcon heavy is only $1,500/kg to LEO. This rate is considerably undercut here on Earth by me, a weasley little nerd, who will move a kilogram in exchange for a pat on the head (if your praise is desirable) or up to tens of dollars (if it isn't).


In exchange for what benefit? There is literally no benefit to having a datacenter in space.


The benefit is capturing a larger percentage of the output of the sun than what hits the earth.


Can that really work? The datacentre will surely be measurably smaller than the earth.


Does your transportation system also have a risk of exploding catastrophically mid-flight? 'cause otherwise no deal. /s


Could the rust code be transpired to readable C?


> readable

No, because some things that are UB in C are not in Rust, and vice versa, so any codegen has to account for that and will result in additional verbosity that you wouldn't see in "native" code.


Thank you for the explanation
