I don't think they invited you to give them health advice.
>What do you mean? There are multiple suppliers and gas stations are owned by private entities.

To own a gas station you need to get several licenses and permits from the gas companies which are mostly government owned like Indian Oil. These companies will not give licenses to anyone unless you are politically connected and willing to pay huge sums of bribes. Last time I checked the bribes for a highway patrol pump camp to around USD 900K not worth it. Of course if you are son in law of the right minister you get this for free giving you a $900K head start over your competition.

> there is always a shortage and you will see huge lines to fill up gas

I mean shortages of gas stations and not gas. I can give anecdotal evidence but the oil companies have a plan to double total number of gas stations in India from 65K to 120K in next 5 years that alone should tell you a lot about current state. (USA for example has declining number of gas stations).

> Almost all apartments constructed for past 10 - 15 years, and that is a lot mind you, have designated parking spaces for each and every apartment.

I hope so, and I hope they have the ability to retrofit these spots with charging stations with mechanisms to pay for that electricity.
Chris is a very nice guy and a super smart engineer.

Why all these comments about Lex and his interviewing style and almost nothing about the technological aspects, like MLIR, LLVM or RISC-V?
This is assuming that you allow Google maps to access your location in the background always. I would imagine that most people have it set to allow only when using.
Written in C is not the same that compiled via C. If you want Python compiled via C you can use Cython, and without much surprise, you usually get a huge speed up (e.g. https://notes-on-cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/std_dev.htm...).
Good thing you can check the license!
Illness or not, this is good advice for everyone. Each has their own challenge(s) whether they are of the diagnosable kind or just fatigue, anxiety etc.
As an American software engineer who used to work at a small ag software company but left after it got acquired in part because of business model of the new company, I just want to say that what I've seen of Apollo is extremely promising in understanding how to improve the lives of smaller-scale farms, which I believe is key to the future of agriculture as a leveling power across the world. Thanks for working at, and please keep at helping small ag!
Good point, that's another reason to use headphones -- if you're also using a microphone!

There's no way to really solve this! I think there are some hacks, but the music and TV pro solution is to use in-ear monitors.

Good thread where someone suggests using monitors to reduce fatigue on video conference:

I haven't tried it, but it makes a lot of sense. Knowing how loud your own voice relative to others' is seems like a key benefit.

I use speakers to listen to lectures and podcasts, and it's 100% a win IMO, but yeah they don't work well if your voice also has to be recorded unfortunately ...
And if the calorie count upthread is right, that’s 4550 calories per day purely from potato, not counting any added butter, milk, beans, meat etc! I know people did more manual labour back then, but something seems wrong with that figure.
Sweet, I'll have to try this. Been looking for more experiential stuff, and coop video games are getting more scarce.

Probably because they weren't getting enough protein. It's easy to eat carbs forever if you have nothing else because you'll still feel intensely hungry without protein.
I have relatives who were convinced that the Rapture was coming in 2012. The looks on their faces when I asked them in 2011, "Why do you keep going to work, then? Why are you still having kids? Why did you just buy a house?" can only be described as quizzical. They simply couldn't see the logical disconnect.
We would have invested the trillions we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan in renewable energy. We might have a coal free grid. Hundreds of thousands fewer children would develop asthma. Heart disease might even be on the decline.
This claim should not be made lightly -- do you have any sources to back up your claim? I imagine the money spent on local and state fire departments does not subtract from the NPS/BLM budget for forest management.
He was building circles around other languages. It worked great. All circles were nice, neat, perfectly round like Lisp parenthesis and inside those circles other developers using unenlightened languages were getting actual work someone cared about done.
Phosphates are a chemical, easy to add if needed - for a price. Many soils have far more than needed, so the farmer won't add more. 30 years ago farmers never measured sulfur content of their soils - acid rain replenished it - now the coal has cleaned up their emissions farmers buy sulfur. Farming is still a learning game. When John Deere bought a tractor company they wrote a letter (in 1918) to their dealers stating more or less that tractors are an interesting fad, but the company is well aware that the horse drawn plow will forever be the backbone of the American farm.

Note that I said for a price. Farmers who buy that stuff and let it run off lose money in the long run and go bankrupt.
You are 100% spot on. Lisp is not a single language. It's whatever language has been constructed around the given problem. This is the Lisp Curse:

An interesting project. I used it for a while, but wound up switching to Riot (now Element)/Matrix due to it being easier to get my friends onto Matrix then Jami.
Almost. Just that it's the OEMs that choose to implement AOSP default privilege scheme to please Google so it gives them access to Play Store and all the other Google apps.

IMHO the leverage is all on the OEM side, they just choose to focus on hardware and allow Google to manage the software.

Independent stores is something that was not really a thing before Android so we are figuring out as we go.

Debian third party repos probably come close, but that is for tech savvy folk that know that they are doing. Now design that for your grandma.
Experience would probably be similar to using NoScript in a browser. Lots of broken things at first, then tapering off.
The approach Microsoft took here encourages something we both I think agree is a bad idea, roots used for multiple potentially conflicting purposes. The owner of the multi-purpose root will either make a big fuss when policy changes down the road make that conflict painful or worse they'll persuade themselves that we can't really have meant what we just told them because it's so painful, "obviously" the policy change doesn't apply to their multi-purpose root and they'll ignore it until discovered.

If for example Microsoft had separate "Code signing" and "Web PKI" trust programmes then you get two good things for the price of one: Less incentive for CAs to do things we'll regret even if they don't; and clarity for users about the purpose of the trust relationship.

Mozilla could do better here too, it's actually not easy to discern from Firefox which built-in CA roots are actually trusted in the Web PKI, and it's outright impossible as far as I know to discover any of the special case restrictions described in https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes from the user interface of the software itself.
You're not the only one with that impression, but I think they are talking about mainstream media when they say that it was mostly ignored in early March.

The internet weirdos I followed were all tweeting about it in mid-January, so by the time it was February I was checking Twitter every night for an update, and having a laugh at the totally brainless exhortations by the mainstream media that anybody that believed in Coronavirus was a right-wing conspiracy nut. (By mid-March this had flipped.)
I generally agree with this. Would you recommend any structures that do work?
A better comparison btw would be looking at Korea, it’s a good example of proper enforcement and key events leading to new outbreaks.

Masks are like seat belts, air bags, driving at the speed limit, etc. None of these guarantees you won’t die in a car accident, but they greatly reduce your chances of dying and of injuring others. Same principles, it’s just common sense if COVID is airborne mask wearing will have a positive impact on reducing infections, and it’s a pretty minor inconvenience. Ok
> All things should be ungrouped as much as possible.

Why?
Ah, that's probably the more reasonable interpretation, thanks.
Regarding the first name: Lord Byron, the Romantic period poet, was known to have close relations (almost certainly incestuous) with his half sister Augusta Leigh. Augusta Ada was named after her, but she went by Ada for reasons of propriety, jealousy, etc.

No idea about the last name.
Probably a minority viewpoint, but I grew up playing chess face to face with friends and family and neighbours and people at school and at bus stops. I can’t get any enjoyment out of playing the game on a computer without physical pieces and without the other player being at least familiar enough that I might meet them again sometime
AFAIK http://localhost is treated the same as https://localhost so you shouldn't need a self signed certificate.
An invariably this will lead to "more taxes to protect our forests". As a state leading the climate change policies this tells you how miserable government will be in fighting climate change.
I've been reading Dan De Quille's "The Big Bonanza", about the history of the Nevada silver mines, and I was struck by a sentence from an early chapter:

> Pointing out the blue peaks of the Marysville Buttes, seen far away in the smoky distance, [Kit Carson] said "Yonder lies the valley of the Sacramento!"

This was in 1846; was it smoky because of persistent forest fires? Since it was still before the gold rush, the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas presumably weren't particularly populous.
Oh that's odd because my friends there in pipeline are making 3x what they were in Vancouver, especially after currency conversion.

Maybe they've petered down since but it was a significant amount when I spoke to them
This is really cool and probably should have been made a while back, and I'd absolutely use it if I didn't luck into a game earlier this year. I might still use it to play something else.

One thing is, it seems very targeted at TTRPG curious folks that have never played before, like people who have watched Critical Role or heard of D&D and are fantasy fans but have no idea what the actual play experience is. This makes sense, it's a fast way to grow your user base. But I'd be more likely to use the product if I could search by system and request specific games. I would use it to play more niche games that fewer people are running as one shots.

Based on your company description it seems like you're moving in that direction.
In direct contrast to this article, I've had to specifically set `security.enterprise_roots.enabled` to true on Firefox because completely legitimate sites were not trusted.
I'm not sure if they're using Python per se, but Netflix gave an interesting talk at KDD 2018 on how they're using machine learning in various parts of film/TV production.

One example is optimizing the workflow of a special effects director. They described how a typical person spends one day of their week reviewing scripts to determine which scenes are going to require CGI. They're traditionally had to read every page in the script. Netflix built a model that filters scenes to just those that are likely to need effects, saving time.

Of course, it's hard for me to independently verify the effectiveness of this model. If some false negatives get through (scenes that ought to have effects that aren't noticed until too late), I can imagine an effects supervisor not trusting the model and just reading everything.

It doesn't seem to have been recorded, but there's the description: https://www.kdd.org/kdd2018/applied-data-science-invited-tal...
In the early 00s, the company I was at did complete automation workflows in PS & AE using javascript. The level of stuff that was accomplished would not have been possible to complete within deadlines without it. I took that knowledge to every job since. The worst was creating subtitles for Blu-ray/HDDVD before the regular apps were updated for the new formats.
>>> The Olympics holds up the ideal of a level playing field for wholesome young athletes

The Olympics is first and foremost a political event. Sports come second.

It hurts to realize but that's a fact of life. The next thing that's hurting might be to realize that many athletes are likely to be missing because of logistics/visa/costs issues.
Doesn't seem to support 32-bit computers.
> ... some of the most brilliant Lisp programs I've seen weren't even written by programmers or software engineers; they were written by drafters who were clever at math.

Sure. But those drafters probably weren't on a "we're so much smarter than everyone else, strong typing is for people with weak memories" ego trip. People who know they aren't programming experts tend to be conservative and careful in what they write. People who want to throw away all the guardrails so that they can show what great coders they are... look out.
I'm absolutely in favour of paying extra for privacy. However, it has to come from a company that I am willing to trust.

Google is an advertising company at its core and its bottom line relies on knowing as much about people as possible so that they can target better ads, thus I do not want to have any kind of business relationship with them. Their efforts to force users to opt into tracking (like dark patterns and the recent not-GDPR-compliant consent prompt) suggest me to steer well clear.

If they spin off YouTube as its own company, with its own account system (independent from Google) and ToS (that do not include anything regarding tracking - as it stands to sign up for YouTube Premium you do still need to agree to Google's ToS and privacy policy) I will definitely reconsider, but as it stands it is a hard no.
The home inspector I use gives me a booklet that is often hundreds of pages long and includes photos and detailed descriptions of every problem found as well as recommended remedies and ongoing maintenance requirements.

I've never needed to call anyone else so I just assumed they were all like this.
> Templating? Haskell provides such a wonderfully clean way to generate HTML via combinators and do notation. You don't need a quasi quoter to get a DSL. See Lucid. All templating does is remove control features (like forM, for example).

IHP's templating HSX is targeted at people with a react background that are familiar with JSX syntax. In the background it compiles down to blaze-html and can be used together with e.g. forM_ (which we have aliased to forEach). It's just a more familiar syntax on top of blaze html.

Some internal IHP functions are even still implemented with the blaze combinators: https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp/blob/master/IHP/View...

> They've reinvented common operators. For example, (|>), which is great, I've used it in Elm, but the Haskell version of this is (&) from Data.Function.

Yes, IHP is the haskell framework for builders :-)
I've repeatedly tried, but I have not been able to get Jami to work. At all.

Text messages sent between a Linux PC and an Android device are delivered less than 25% of the time. Neither audio or video calls will connect in either direction.

There are several open bugs on the Jami Gitlab page regarding similar problems on Android but there are no fixes available.

I can't say if Jami is useful in situations where both endpoints are computers and/or iOS devices, but it's completely useless for use cases where one of the parties involved in a communication could be using an Android device.

Are there any working ad free, commercial surveillance free, video chat tools out there? I'm currently self-hosting Jitsi Meet, but that has no video support on Safari and has an artificial video quality limit of 360p on mobile devices. Is there anything better?
I don't think we have rank subordination here
Fascinating! The longer I live, the more I'm glad I wasn't born into nobility.
I do understand that, and I do want someone to hold my hand when it comes to Haskell library choices :). But it would be nice to be able let me replicate all the deployment/development setup aspects in a style that doesn't have an impedance mismatch with existing projects (especially monorepos!). It's fine if it occasionally breaks, it's unsupported, without warranty, I'm on my own, etc. Just let this be an option for people with Opinions on deployment/build systems, but no such Opinions on Haskell software engineering.
Basically every major programming paradigm had been discovered by the 60s.

At the most coarse, generic level, perhaps. But there's been huge amounts of research both academically and industrially into, for example, how to structure functional programs, how to manage side effects, and working within concurrent/distributed/asynchronous environments. Saying that nothing new has happened in programming languages since the 1960s because the major paradigms had all been discovered already is like saying nothing new has happened in automotive design since the 1960s because private vehicles still usually have 2 or 4 wheels.

Modern farming doesn't erode soil. There have been decades since the dust bowl with less rainfall, but no repeat dust bowl because farming has improved.
A dozen of eggs for $5-8 is shockingly expensive. That’s like £3 at the absolute limit in the UK. And they would be some primo organic shit.
Not quite illness, but I'm still here, after surviving a 500Lbs SVBIED blast in Afghanistan. ~300 surgeries/10yrs later, I'm sitting here trying to become a product engineer while dealing what could be construed as hurdles:

-Massive insomnia. I try to meditate, read tech news and listen to Javascript lectures. I can't reliably schedule meetings in the morning due to sometimes not falling asleep until 6-7am. Hack your environment to remove blue light.

-Pain. Basically, my only available option is narcotics, which I refuse to take for obvious reasons. Meditation, acupuncture helps.

The stress comes from how others react to me. They don't see the behind the scenes, so I'm just some young, rather unprofessional-looking guy, making halfway attempts. I chose to ignore that completely, because at the end of the day, none of these people are helping the situation in any way.

It surely helps to have a never-ending will to go forward, on step at a time.

One piece of advice I would give is to focus on positive stuff. It's all too often very easy to find the negatives. Don't take the easy route.
Oh, hey, fellow epileptic! Couldn't agree with your comment more. I've also found that diet has a huge impact, and I'm fascinated by research into the gut microbiome and the giant impact it has on the brain.

I also follow a low-carb diet, and I've found it helps a lot (even though it's a pain in the ass.)

Fasting doesn't work quite as well for me, since I already have low blood pressure and sugar. Any tips for building up a tolerance for fasting?
Some thoughtful praise of the interview style, yes. But zero discussion of the actual content of the interview.
This is reminding me of a couple of old tile-based RPGs from the 90s - Realmz and Exile 2/3 - that both did multitile creatures. I do think that there was a bit of a lull between then and the more recent resurgence of (tile-based) roguelikes
Well since I have had problems my entire life, its usually not stressful in the way I would normally use that word. Like as in cortisol levels spiking from something unexpected or something.

But it does cause me problems. What has helped me a lot is working from home. I have been doing that mainly for like ten years or more. Not having to deal with the stress of commuting and possibly getting that much more sleep and having 1 or 2 hours of extra time, is a huge deal for me. Because the biggest symptoms with my health are fatigue and needing to go to the bathroom a lot from the IBS.

But you did use the word stress. I think that is the biggest adjustment I have made compared to most people. I have deliberately reduced a lot of the causes of stress that people normally have in life. I have a greatly reduced social life. Don't own a car. I actually moved to Mexico so that I would be able to easily save money.

But the weird thing is because I have always had asthma and acid reflux (which in my adult life has really been a significant breathing issue especially at night etc.), I suspect that most people often think I am just lazy or something. Especially since those are common problems and lots of times I can operate just fine for hours. I just usually look tired and sometimes need breaks to crash out for a couple of hours. But people don't see how tired I am because I don't go out much or go on video.

I was actually hesitating to say that I have those issues. Because a lot of times they end up being fairly minor for other people with good treatment. For me, in my adult life the acid reflux has been a big deal for breathing and waking up tired and my first surgery attempt so far was not successful.

But people generally don't cut me any slack for it. And with a flexible work-from-home schedule, I don't need to ask for slack.
Very little to do with climate change. Mostly to do with lousy forest management.
Did you think the article was stating that no one knew how to detect cheaters?
Machine learning helps to predict new violence hot spots
Fwiw there is a 3D scene on the screen on the MBP.

It's definitely a lazy design on my part but I just threw it together since I figured it got the point across well enough.

I may revisit it in the future though.
Even the idea of "coding circles around someone" is kind of odious -- team sport everybody. Yes you will have better and worse developers but if it's actively your aim to code circles around someone on your team you're not doing your team a service.
LTCM's blowup had nothing to do with any flaw in Black-Scholes. They did lose money on equity volatility strategies but it was because they were betting that volatility in the future would be lower than the volatility implied by Black-Scholes. Volatility ended up going up and they lost money. They lost money because their forecast of volatility was wrong, not because Black-Scholes was wrong about the market's view of volatility.
