Interesting metaphor because we changed the cars to make them safer, improved the roads, added speed limits and added requirements to get a driver license.

What makes gun death so special, that we don't do the same for guns?

According to your logic Kirk was against speed limits, driver licenses and seat belts but cared about lives. I doubt that he thought like that when it came to road safety.

From the pics, it's a little difficult to classify it as a paddle board. Certainly doesn't look much like what I see if I search for "paddle board" or "offshore paddle board".

It's fairly large. There appears to be a hatch leading to an interior space. Presumably that's where he sleeps and stores supplies.

It's really more of a small paddle-powered boat. Given the shape and the ability to seal off the interior, it probably can survive a fair bit of rolling around in a storm.

For Rails specifically, its an intentional swinging of the pendulum back towards YAGNI by default. So, the default rails install, out of the box, can ship to prod running an extremely minimal set of "other" dependencies and begin your MVP journey. Its not meant to be the end game, its meant to get you from 0 to 1.

It's not a problem until it's a problem and then it's too late to do anything, the default stance should be to worry, not to let it pass.

Leaded gas was fine for a looong time, and as an individual you can't really tell it's bad, once you zoom out and look at statistics it's not that good: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lead-gasoline-tie...

Not to one-up you, but my worst nightmare is an open source project where all the maintainers are LLM copy-pasters, with little clue to be had otherwise.

And it's already happened, of course. A project I saw mentioned here on HN a while back seemed interesting, and it was exactly that kind of disaster. They started off as a fork of another project, so had a working codebase. But the project lead is a grade-A asshole who gets off on being grumpy to people, and considers any ideas not his to be ridiculous. Their kernel guy is an actual moron; his output is either (clearly) LLM output or just idiocies. Even the side contributors are 100% chatbot pasters.

First, anyone who is interested in this should buy the books:

https://www.informit.com/store/latex-companion-parts-i-ii-3r...

I was certainly glad to, since the binding was breaking on my 2nd edition due to constant usage, and I was glad to have the option of buying hardcovers.

Second, work through a good tutorial, there are many, but I like: https://tug.ctan.org/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf

Third, learn your way around CTAN, and https://tex.stackexchange.com/ --- for pretty much any problem you have, there should be a package or code snippet which addresses it, if not ask on SE or https://old.reddit.com/r/LaTeX/ after searching (and let folks know what terminology you used in your search), and consider using one of the nice well-documented documentstyles suited to your project --- Koma is good for Europeans, I like Memoir and not just because the first author was kind enough to consider my suggestions for the manual or implement some simplistic code I sent in (has anyone heard from Peter Wilson lately?)

Lastly, when working with macros and packages and so forth, conceptually divide them between semantic markup (this bit of code describes how this text/number should be represented and thought of) and appearance (this bit of code is necessary to get the text on the page at this pagination state in the best possible way) --- all of the latter macros should be defined twice, once as null ops in one package file, a second time redefined to actually do what is desired in a second package --- that way, the page can be set without them just by commenting out the second package. It's even better if all such macros are named in such a way that they can be easily commented out w/ a find-replace.

>I've noticed a downwards trend in almost all manners of living here over the past 10 years, and can't really see what any government could do to change course.

Everyone I talk to from several EU countries feels the same: today we're an a much lower point than 10 years ago. Hell, where I am now in Austria, the country is the only one in EU with a GDP decline compared to last year, and a stagnation like UK would actually be an improvement lol.

Salaries in general have barely grown since 10 years with inflation adjustments, but housing is up several times compared to 10 years ago. Those I know who bought houses around 2014 keep thanking their lucky star since they admit they wouldn't be able to purchase the same home at the value of today on their wages of today.

I think the situation in Canada is exactly the same or maybe even worse.

So nobody in the west that I know of, thinks the situation is better now than 10 years ago. UK is no different than the rest of the west but they have this feeling that they are.

I think this is a terrible idea from a usability standpoint. Why reinvent windows in CSS? Desktop browsers can already open multiple pages in multiple windows. And it's all neatly integrated in my OS where I can use keyboard shortcuts to maximize, minimize, close, move windows, or place the windows on multiple monitors, etc.

It's as much a bad idea as websites trying to reinvent scrollbars. No thanks. I prefer to use my native windows and scrollbars.

Portugal to French Guiana means following the North Atlantic Gyre - The Canary Current then the North Equatorial Current.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Gyre

Looking at the current maps, I think most of the paddling will be southward, to get down to South America rather than the Caribbean.

For example, Thor Heyerdahl's Ra II, a square-sailed reed boat, went from Morocco to Barbados - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl#Boats_Ra_and_Ra... .

The people I've heard of who have rowed across the Atlantic generally do Canary Islands to the Caribbean. There's even "The World's Toughest Row" for that route - https://www.worldstoughestrow.com/ .

Usability and perf experience for me:

- I'm getting about 5 FPS scrolling on a M4 Pro

- Moving a "window" around takes 29% of my CPU, and renders at about 2 fps

- I'm losing about 40% of my screen height for reading (14" laptop screen). So much so none of the article is visible above the fold, just the title and by-line.

- My browser's CMD-F finds things on layers hidden under the current window

- Changing window size via corner drag is also selecting text on other windows, no prevent default.

- Xzibit says: Tabs are bad, so we put some tabs in your tabs?

>he (and his kind) lives for short term gratification and will move on to another house and decorate that with gold.

Exactly. It's a social norm among that class of society

When a Koch, or a Scwab, or the CEO of some mega-corp buys a property on Martha's Vineyard, or the Hamptons, or Vail or overlooking Tahoe or whatever, with intent to actually spend even the scantest amount of time there themselves they engage in absurd unnecessary renovations. That's just how they do things. There is an occasional exception for those in that group who have "found meaning" in some other avenue for lighting money on fire.

Edit: You can thank me later for implicitly telling you where the best construction dumpsters are.

Oh god. It has a pleasant color scheme, but this is an awful idea. By trying to recreate windows and bookmarks in the web app you're at best just implementing redundant features and getting in the way of the native browser features by trying to showcase yours, at worst breaking regular web usage entirely.

Take their right click menu for items to select whether you want an in-app tab or real browser tab. Congrats, you've broken UX by making the native browser right-click menu unavailable on link items, and because you've only implemented this on some things most of your content is not deep linkable as navigation is a cursed in-app feature.

This is as usual a fun tech demo, but it should not be used for anything in the real world.

Sure but the money people are paying right now isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. OpenAI is expecting 13bn in revenue this year. AWS made over 100bn last year. So unless they pay a lot more, or they find customers outside of programmers, designers, etc who are willing to pay for the best quality, I don't see how it grows as fast as it needs to (I'm not saying it won't increase, just not at the rate expected by the data center providers)

I think he's just pointing out current problems, as he's done many times. He likes to give talks and publicity to his project, as its maintainer, and that includes this sort of "what's going on with the project" talks.

I don't think he's unhappy. Frankly I think he's doing the right thing, and I say that as the founder of a project where I didn't do that sort of thing, but now realize I should have. This is what gets you contributors/donations/publicity.

My sense is that Apple and Google don't really care to have small entrants into their app stores at this point. (I've jumped through all the same hoops and more.) They know they hold all the cards for now, and aren't under a lot of pressure to improve or simplify their current processes.

Not sure if there's anything to be done about it outside of legislation.

There's a lot of ambiguity at the edges, on that.

B1 visa (the 'business trip' visa): > A B-1 visa may be granted to specialized workers going to the United States to install, service, or repair commercial or industrial equipment or machinery purchased from a company outside of the United States, or to train U.S. workers to perform such services.

So on the face of it you'd think a B1 visa would be sufficient here.

Hi, I got the initial information from the cppreference compiler support site, then verified with each compiler vendors support tables and updated the information accordingly.

Then I wrote a bot that watches all known (and most importantly, reliable) sources for changes, that then notifies me. The data itself is kept in very simple yaml files. So whenever something changes, I verify and update the info accordingly (The site itself is then regenerated and uploaded automatically).

For features that are not fully implemented yet, or where the vendor does not provide any information (e.g. Apple's conformance table), I set up a conformance test suite on my machine that runs most of these across all toolchains.

Please note that I won't be the only person that maintains this site. I'm in the process of open-sourcing and automating most of it, so that everyone can contribute via GitHub. It's just that keeping up with C++ is part of my job, and also a personal interest of mine. So I do this as a "labour of love".

In this particular case, the guy seems to be in his late 30s or 40s (he says "until my late twenties, I could count the number of times I had been to the gym on on hand", and later "fast forward almost to a decade").

But even if he was in his mid 20's... I understand being cautious about taking life lessons from young people, because they've had less chance to learn and correct the false things they might have learned, but the lesson he is sharing here - that your identity determines your actions which in turn will determine large parts of your life outcomes is one that even someone young can understand, and it is a useful one - I'd argue that no matter your age, if you've got a self-image that is blocking you from 'living your best life'/'doing what you want to do'/'being happy', knowing that you can change it, and this will get you closer to your goals, is useful.

This would come as no surprise, since all the original promises of Bitcoin circa 15-ish years ago are long dead. The turning point occurred when all exchanges agreed to report transactions directly to the IRS. I say this as someone who had an interest prior to that but lost all interest when the Crypto community sold out its ideals and consented to certain regulations in the interest of mass marketing cryptocurrency for the purpose of speculative profit.

The tabs reuse resources of the browser, and the browser does it really well - I think it's not even arguable that browsers are more complex than the OS GUI API, this is why e.g. Windows 11 uses react.js in start menu.

So if you create a webpage that is so damn advanced that it beats the browsers OR it somehow reuses heavy resources within one webpage, I'd say this is a good justification. And IMO the OP link isn't an example of that.

You're right, it's a very crowded space and there's a lot of skepticism for good reason. My goal isn't to compete with the big TA platforms, but to focus specifically on the statistical validation of trading ideas, which I see as a missing piece.

I appreciate the advice about platforms like NinjaTrader—that's a good thought. Thanks for the feedback.

> so does it happen before or after the "transition" takes place?

As the quote you offered says, it is measured after. I suppose theoretically in some kind of bending of space and time it could be measured during the exact instant it is created, but as we return back to reality... It certainly cannot be measured before. One cannot measure that which does not exist.

> market value is what actually someone paid for it and comes after

Value is, let's say, intrinsic. Whereas price is the measurement of it. To use an analogy, it is like the difference between distance and length.

> id say price is set before

While you are certainly welcome to make up any old random definition on the spot, given that we're talking about price within the context of CPI we know it is not "set before". CPI measurement is taken in hindsight, after consumers have already made their purchases. The values it gathers are post-sale.

> The standards are really bad and it’s not just about protocols but hardware.

Okay, if their hardware is esoteric, open the protocols for interacting with hardware.

> Should they give away every hardware design needed too?

Yeah probably. It would be a lot better, more like x86. We would actually get repairable phones instead of landfill fodder. But that's a different issue.

> Lighting was an incredible boon in an era of micro usb, people just seem to forget how shit everyone else was. Now we have usb-c where companies are required to supply the port but doesn’t have to follow any actual specification, yay for standards.

And then it became a cheap scam, whereby Apple made a few dollars off of every single lightning cable produced by anyone on Earth due to licensing.

Also, as for USB-C - doesnt matter, still better. My chargers work across multiple devices. Yes, there's some standards noncompliance, this is still a huge improvement over ZERO cross compatibility.

That's the whole point. They can't overtly outlaw things because aggrieved parties would sue and win. So they soft outlaw them with expensive record keeping requirements and ambiguity because no business big enough to win but smaller than a giant mega-corp will intentionally risk going toe to toe with the government in court as doing so would likely be financially ruinous.

And even if the government doesn't look like it's disposed to do that in your situation you're still sticking your neck out by deviating from the herd because then you can't screech "standard business practice" when some contrived chain of facts results in you fending off a civil suit for whatever reason.

This isn't just a banking thing or a guns thing, you see examples in every industry once you know the pattern.

I actually went back to the s25 from the fold because of this.

When you get sand in the hinges, it's pretty annoying and difficult to clean out. I was always nervous about taking my phone out on the beach.

That's tough living in Florida, the whole state is basically a giant sand bar.

I also actually didn't like the fold part. Most of what I do on a phone is read Kindle or browse the web.

For Kindle, the phone was uncomfortable to hold with one hand for long periods to read.

Web browsing was worse than a normal phone because many common sites like weather.com have responsive design that get very confused and unusable with that "in-between" size. The display on the outside of the phone that you can use while it's closed was so tiny and narrow it was unusable as well.

The whole thing was heavy and clunky feeling. (This was the most recent galaxy fold, the pixel one may be better)

I was pretty happy to go back to a normal form factor.

There is no practical way to amend them. People are absolutely and fervently attached to their interpretations, and the bar to amendment is extremely high.

If it were possible to amend them, then it wouldn't be necessary; we'd already agree on a less-unreasonable interpretation.

I think it is entirely clear that after 250 years they aren't even slightly fit for purpose, if they ever were. But I cannot see a way to revisit them without re-applying the process under which they were written in the first place.

No Booze is the only item on this list that is helpful (as someone who has been the personal coach to Unicorn Founders over the last 20+ years, currently with a waitlist).

For certain, the elimination of all alcohol will help everyone achieve more in life. If this triggers you, consider you may have a drug problem.

No Sleep kills your energy and productivity. You need proper sleep to be your best. Could you imagine an NBA player saying the secret to winning an NBA championship is not sleeping and working out all night?

Mastering leadership will get you time back, and prioritizing self care time so you can go hard is the winning combo.

No Fun. Again, you need to recharge, find creative inspiration, have healthy relationships.

Overall, it is a very negative signal if founders are doing #2 & #3. It signals they are trying to cosplay looking like what they think success looks like.

The reason I have a job is because the actual most successful unicorn founders understand they need world class support, coaching, and self care to really build something incredible.

This is an area I work in professionally so I keep up with the technical side of things.

> once you start adding more than one item to a cell it doesn't always work out.

Very true, but the amounts of money at stake would justify the relatively inexpensive cost of hooking cells up to the already-available ER/TR-responsive gene elements.

> but I don't believe any before have contained these immune escaping edits

Hard to say, I'm not an expert on immune escape. It's an old idea, however, so I imagine it's been used in other pre-clinical or Phase 1 settings.

> I believe all of those treatments are cancer treatments which allow for a different level of risk

I imagine you're speaking about allogeneic treatment? Either way, this isn't true at all - here's a list of current treatments for diabetes alone:

"Hyperdiffusionism is a pseudoarchaeological hypothesis that postulates that certain historical technologies or ideas were developed by a single people or civilization and then spread to other cultures. Thus, all great civilizations that engage in what appear to be similar cultural practices, such as the construction of pyramids, derived them from a single common progenitor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdiffusionism

Thor Heyerdahl advocated hyperdiffusionist ideas, and to his credit showed two such routes were possible. However, "His hyperdiffusionist ideas on ancient cultures had been widely rejected by the scientific community, even before the expedition." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl

People said the same thing for deepseek-r1, and nothing changed.

If you come up with a way to make the current generation of models 10x more efficient, then everyone just moves to train a 10x bigger model. There isn’t a size of model where the players are going to be satisfied at and not go 10x bigger. Not as long as scaling still pays off (and it does today).

It's definitely a growing concern, coworkers visiting their home countries have been half-jokingly saying "see you in X weeks, assuming everything goes fine at the border" and even US citizens and permanent residents are being strongly encouraged to plan out contingencies (remote work, what to say to maybe be able to contact the immigration attorney if detained etc) with the company before leaving, just in case.

As long as the government only tazes your dogs and ruins your business, you can't even sue against the law even on constitutional grounds.

See Knife Rights V Garland. []

No one had been convicted in the past 10 years for violating the switchblade act, so the state ruled the law couldn't be challenged ("no standing"), even though it was actively being used to ruin people's businesses and raid their homes (the government would just give everything back a few years after doing so and not go through with charges).

Seems generally worse for the world if we want to force everyone to work 24/7 with no joy or interests outside of work. Ah well. Do you think they can recognize it? I don't think any of these companies will have anything interesting to say, last ten years, or improve lives.

It mostly looks like an act to me, a cargo cult where if they offer up enough "work" they'll be rewarded, disregarding any usefulness.

Go for it. There's some great ideas there.

I often wondered about making it easier to organise large coffee stops like where a whole bike club arrive a cafe at the same time.

Generally you want slightly different routes for your blue, green, red and black groups so that they can arrive at roughly the same time even though they ride at different speeds.

I guess a cafe might want to stagger those arrivals slightly to reduce queuing, etc.

Not sure if that's an angle you could go for.
