I went back to a old Motorola phone not once but twice. Both attempts were unsuccessful. For directions I got a Garmin potable gos navigator. Once I was coming back from somewhere with my kids and it was 10:30 pm. They were hungry and wanted pizza. I used the Garmin gps and went to the restaurant but it was closed. That happened because the gps unit did not have the latest information. My family was mad and I went back to smartphone. The second time my extended family living outside the country were mad because they couldn’t call me on WhatsApp. So I went back to my smartphone. Totally two failed attempts at using a dumb phone.

It’s so heartwarming to see the two pals, Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat, continue together! Many years back there was an article about how the two created the modern web.

How is a cursor different from a jdbc call that fetches all records after executing a query? What advantages doez the cursor have that a recordset does not?

Thank you for the recommendation. Both books seem to about the command line. How are the books different?

Much respect to Steve and the engineers at Apple. However, I hate using a product from Apple that actually causes me physical pain after using it. The magic mouse. I use that for 10 minutes and my palm and wrist hurt badly. Many have experienced the same symptoms and yet Apple hasn’t changed its design. I get that Apple is creative. Do they change their product design based on feedback from actual users in their creative process?

Do you think the CEO will taste the product?

Reminds me of the scene in Kung Panda 1 where one feather of the goose, Peng, falls into the tunnel which Tai Lung uses to unlock his cage and escape.

Does anyone know of he has a wife and kids? Such a trekking lifestyle would be very difficult with a family.

Nice anecdote. What are you doing now? Are you a developer still or the VP of a company?

Can we not find why the strange behavior of a double split experiment occurs using this setup?

I am a total newbie to curl. I am so excited to come across this post. Thanks, op! I want to use curl to send json and xml requests instead of using Postman and SoapUI while also using a jks file which stores a certificate for secure connection to API.

(Clarified regarding certificate)

I am new to curl. We use secure connection to Visa and Maactercard API. We have the certificate in a jks file.

Is there a way to send the json request that one sends in Postman but in curl while also using the jks file?

Similarly, we use SoapUI to send XML requests. Is there a way to send those XML requests using curl while also using the jks file?

Greatly appreciate your help.

>> This is also why I believe that language is a bottleneck for thought

I am not sure I agree with this. We think our thoughts using language. I don’t language is the bottleneck.

Wow. I couldn’t tell. How did you find out that it may be AI generated.

I was one of those people. Really, I didn’t understand what Wave was trying to do. I tried to use it with my friends but all I saw was nested text boxes. Can you please tell me what it was trying to do?

Regarding the family part. Don’t feel terribly bas about not having a family. There is the possibility of a divorce and the resulting court ordered payments that can be far more devastating. It’s simply too hard to keep someone else happy all the time. Frustrations add up, more fights, more insults, more angry words. As humans I don’t think we can ever be happy.

Thx. For one API in my company, there is only root and intermediate certificates are present in the jks file but the leaf certificate is not. Would encryption work without a leaf certificate?

In another instance to connect to a server, only the root certificate is present in the trust store. Does it mean encryption can be performed with just the root certificate.

I am a dad. This happened when my daughter reached high school and now my son as well. When I ask what happened in school, they always respond with one word - “nothing”. Then I follow up and say that they had so many classes and time on the playground. How could all of that amount to nothing. To that answer with two words- “nothing much”. I heave a huge sigh and mutter under my breath, It’s okay and move on. It’s probably to do with onset of puberty and the generation gap. I probably don’t understand their world much at all.

About a year or so back, there was an issue about Airtags being used for stalking a person. Has that issue been resolved by Apple? Or does the issue still exist?

I think most influential companies such as Microsoft snd Google have said that c and c++ need to be deprecated. I think replacing old code with memory safe languages takes time, effort and money. Hopefully in a decade we can this can be fully done.

This feels like a beautiful work of art! Great job, OP!

These timelines fill me with certain amount of sadness. How empires and peoples last few centuries and fall! After few hundred years people don’t even know or care these people existed. It must be true that the countries we love may and owe our allegiance to may not exist in a few centuries. The people in that future wouldn’t care we existed. Over time everything gets eroded.

This is so beautiful! I could have never imagined this. I learnt this formula by rote when I was in school. Didn’t realize that it had a geometric equivalent. Same thing with differentiation and integration. Couldn’t understand. Learnt that too by rote. Is there a geometric equivalent for most formulas if not all? Is there a website?

It’s one thing to be upset and angry about capitalism and businesses. How does a person go from there to being able to commit premeditated murder because it means seeing a human being die in agony. That’s a jump of several magnitudes. It’s terribly sad.

If error is getting corrected, doesn’t it mean lower entropy? If so where else is entropy increasing, if it is a valid question to be asked.

What benchmark is being referred here?

>>Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe

This is so funny! Such creativity! The guy on the chair with his legs splayed up in an acute angle!

Thanks much for the explanation.

That’s correct. Not a native speaker. I am not well versed with slang words. I am sometimes embarrassed because I speak as if they are words from a book instead of sounding like spoken words. Do you know how cuts came to mean that it’s a deal. For a non-native speaker it means the exact opposite thing as in “he cut a wire”. Language evolves in strange ways.
