I took the analogy to be about the location of the pressure and not the direction. If you allow pressure to build on the input pipe when you can't accept more, the component that is upstream in the flow is able to observe that and respond. Maybe the difference is I envisioned a series of pipes and not a single one.

You mean the culture of cutting funding from under performing schools to enforce a downward spiral and divert money to private schools? If not you should be more specific.

Let's say that each month I have an extra $1000. Should I use that money to pay down a 4% mortgage, or should I invest it in an index fund that is all but guaranteed to earn more than that?

Automated accessibility testing needs to be in your loop, whether you are using an llm or not. Aria labels are easy to get right but they are also easy to forget.

There are documented ways to ensure that changes are visible across threads (e.g. locks). If these are not used, the compiler is within its rights to not go out of its way to pull changes from another thread.

Right, it's pretty inevitable given the incentives. I think it's made worse by PE for a few reasons. They are investing with relatively short time horizons because they will need to sell to pay profits. So the long term health of the business is of no interest. If the reputation of the business suffers, that's someone else's problem. Compared to an individual investor who is looking long term, they need to retain customers and reputation.

It probably still sucks in C, but the C++ DX got a lot better. Importing the idl would generate wrapper functions that made calling code look much more like a normal function. It would check the hresult and return an out param from the function. They also introduced types like _variant_t that help boxing and unboxing native types. It still wasn't fun but it greatly reduced line count.

One example included the empty set, the other did not. It doesn't always make sense to have it.

I mean, if you're running regedit at all you are not a casual user.

Exchange server accepts or rejects meeting requests. There's no offline room reservation so it's pretty simple.

This is a community that values a high signal to noise ratio and generally eschews small talk, a la nohello.org. Congratulating someone for learning something does not advance the conversation.

It also has a low tolerance of what it perceives as reddit- style in-group signaling via repetition of a common meme (xkcd, in this case). Again noise vs signal but also suspicion of karma farming.

Did he actually say how the data is gathered? It hinted at potassium decay but if he went into more detail, I missed it. And every experiment needs a control - does the banana add anything?

What kind of apps are you using it for? How much data do you have to move to the edge?

You're right, it doesn't contribute to the conversation.

> I actually do this the underlying thought here is worthy and contributes to the conversation

Unless someone actually takes the "underlying thought" and expresses it as more than 12 words of snark, there's nothing to discuss.
