The obvious alternative is to move to somewhere more affordable than the potentially mismatched cost-of-living area you are in and the income you bring in...

I don't think this argument holds much water because these online careers can be done from ANYWHERE and definitely do not require you to live in LA, NYC, SF, or even moderate cost of living areas like Atlanta, Nashville, Phoenix.

Rent is going to cost SOMETHING everywhere until you own your own property (which isn't free either and requires maintenance and comes with taxes).
Despite looking beaten down, overcrowded, messy, Bucharest is a surprisingly rich city - it produces about a third of Romania's GDP and its GDP/capita is significantly above the EU average. Book prices however are still sort of anchored to the national average => Bucharesters can afford books. Sadly, this is the case mostly in Bucharest and a few other large cities - outside of those there's hardly a bookstore (theater, cinema etc.) in sight.

That doesn't appear to be accurate in Chrome, in 89 I am getting no-referrer-when-downgrade.

For example, I clicked a link on old reddit and saw the full referer being sent to another origin.
Throwaway purely so that I can comment. I've had this happen before.

Years ago I left a rather awful company - I left on great terms with my boss, though I hated the company. I was the last person who knew how to release X product. While I documented everything, after I left, the wiki lost its mind, backups apparently weren't a thing, and the director of IT moved to Bermuda.

Fast forward 6 months.. a contractual obligation existed to release the software. They still hadn't successfully built (yup autoconf, make and friends), let alone know where to build it. I got the call you always dream about, 30 days prior to the release being due.

My boss asked me to do him a favour - I reminded him that I quit due to a lack of promotion and raises. He asked what I want, and I asked for 125K, which clearly he scoffed at. Then I reminded him that it was a 10M deal they'd signed, because we had an all hands. The CEO got involved and screamed at me for 'torpedoing the company'. I walked out and calmly informed them both along the way the price was now 250K, non negotiable.

I ignored every single mail (and legal letter) sent me way. With 10 days left, they agreed. I had the company deposit a cheque in escrow with lawyers of my choosing. We signed contracts, and I did my thing. Four days of work. It was well worth it.

Dougie, if you're reading this I hope your cringing.
This is why I wrote a while back that I think it should be sets of 'bouncers' that people subscribe to or whatever - and that those bouncers should have profiles that people can comment on, clone / fork / etc..

with public transparency (I, sure people could/would want and make private bouncers too) - and public comments, people could choose to change their blocker/bouncer - maybe revert to an older version and clone into a new one.

Would be nice to change your choice of censoring based upon your own belief/desire rather than being stuck with whatever some admin or big G decided to let you see without any transparency as to why x y and z are blocked.

I hope this a part of the future that can be built. I too am not a fan of the current censoring cartels.
You might save 25% on your bill, but put the meter any farther up the line and wait for a natural disaster to hit, for example. Get a quote to have you and your neighbor's pole, transformer, etc. fixed up and then figure out what you saved. Heck, you can probably just wait to replace you and your neighbor's transformer and see.

Keep putting your meter further up the line, to get the economies of scale needed so your microgrid can have lineworkers, engineers, meter readers (for all your own meters, you have to portion costs out to the individuals in the grid)... congratulations, you just made a new utility company.

Streaming Saved Music. Artists Hate It
I agree much of the “benefits” of organic food are not really true or meaningful, but I do try and buy local when I can.
Yes, so Substack is just kicking the bucket further down the road. Just another game of musical chairs.

I guess it's cool that writers make more money, but I'm not sure this is as revolutionary as it seems.
A standard USB 3.1 type A connector has 9 pins. The reversible type C has 3 extra pins (SBU, CC, VBUS), not counting the doubling caused by making it reversible. So while the reversibility doubled the number of pins, the increased complexity of the standard itself tripled it (from 4 to 12).
> So AI is taking over the world, and we should just accept that it has severe limitations of just parroting the training data like a Markov chain? This is the algorithm we think can solve everything?

"No", to both questions.

These systems are a work-in-progress, constantly improving. They have value, even though they are far from perfect.
This! Even just comparing USB-A 1.0 to what it replaced, it's hard to imagine a reversible plug like USB-C having been feasible/cost-effective to produce in the mid 90s. The PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports had pins of a similar size and spacing, but it was hard to orient the circular connectors. You could get the connector lined up and twist gently until the pins found their holes, but eventually you would bend a pin. I remember being very impressed at the way USB solved the issue of bent pins, but wondering why they didn't just key the connector like a Zip disk (which had beveled edges along the top of the disk, and wouldn't go into the drive upside-down).

Meanwhile we were connecting printers, scanners, and other peripherals using a 25-pin parallel (or sometimes SCSI) plug. Granted, the DB-25 was already pretty old at that point, but I have to imagine a 24-pin reversible USB plug would have been close to that size if it had been developed in the 90s.
I am not sure I see what the significant difference is, I've heard of security escapes happening in both Docker and in various hypervisors. Either way there is a risk of some privilege escalation bug that allows access to the full RAM. I think if you want isolation, both of them lose out to having a separate firewalled off machine. Also I think the companies running heavy Linux workloads on Docker are probably not interested in the ability of Qubes to run Windows or Mac, just my read on the situation from talking to some of them.

I don't know about snap but from what I have seen of flatpak, it allows for different versions of the same package to be installed, not many package managers are supporting that currently. (Nix and Guix being some notable exceptions, and those should be able to re-use some of the sandboxing bits from flatpak if they need to) Of course, that is one of the main benefits to building this on top of filesystem overlays, and why it requires a different approach from a traditional package manager, i.e. it's not just a duplication.

Edit: Live migration actually does work for containers, take a look at CRIU. (I don't know the current status of this being integrated in Docker) I never even saw this as being opposing technology anyway, for example if you need to you could migrate a container in or out of a VM.

Expanding Same Day ACH: How We Got Here
Natural CO2 sinks that absorb carbon from volcanos exist. As such we can have some net human CO2 production without making things worse than they are today.

An 80% reduction in CO2 isn’t quite enough, but it would avert most issues for a long time. More importantly doing something is much more productive than saying we need to change everything on day one which just promotes paralysis.

The obvious step one is to get cars and electricity to ~zero. That’s achievable in 20 years especially when you consider gas stations closing are going to make ICE engines unappealing.
I've found that as long as you keep it transparent and focus on what the shape of the data is, things go easier than you'd expect.

That said, a lot of things folks reach for with meta programming, I think should get a pass. The goal shouldn't be to make the code like a text. The goal should be to heavily leverage core data structures.
This doesn't even make any sense. Everyone has to pay for their housing... you either opt into two different schemes, own it or rent it and both come with upsides and downsides.

It is up to the person to decide which works for them and in the means that works for them. You can go to many cities where it makes outright more sense to just rent (and maybe more prudent to do so while you don't have a steady stream of income from streaming yet).
I got the same impression. Flatpak seemed much more like 21st century static linking with some slowly evolving security features bolted on top.

The other thing I didn't get about the flatkill rant was why it didn't put flatpak in context. It makes much more sense compare the security of flatpak to that of appimage and snap than to look at flatpak as an isolated thing.
> Farmers don’t get to set the price of their products

Actually farmers could set any price if they colluded to manipulate the market. People will buy food at any price and everyday.
Python is also said to be beginner friendly and easy to learn but in fact there are a lot tricks hidden somewhere and if you want to be a professional python programmer, there are lots to learn and they're very deep.

Go is indeed great for web-oriented applications, its built-in network stack is really handy, and you don't need run a nginx, another application server, etc, everything can be one single executable, it's like a docker itself.
I like red bell peppers because they're smarter than the green ones. ;)

It's completely untenable without a massive, underground vertical farm, a water source, and an energy source. No one but billionaires could afford that. You'd need an armed commune to defend a massive greenhouse area. It's the only way a self-sufficient group could survive in isolation.
Who would be in charge of choosing which artists and which art gets subsidized by society? How do we decide when we've subsidized artists enough and should move on to all the other things society might want to do?

I'm not being flippant. This is a serious question that needs to be addressed in any would-be public art program. Sooner or later you run into limits.
> but simplicity trumps doing either of those things well.

That's the genius (?) of Go. They gave us what we didn't know we needed.

Software people love the "manliness" that comes with "serious", "real" programming languages. Maybe it's the desire to impress our peers with our intelligence? But in the end the only thing that matters is whether you can get your shit done and on time in at least a semi-working state.
Thanks for supplying the fact-check I was looking for. I think I've been seeing headlines about this "discovery" for over a decade, always presented as if it's a promising new technique but obviously there must be some reason it hasn't caught on by now.

first norwegian ship tunnel vs first ship tunnel.
I bought a guitar, TV went unused, sold it, less gadget worry. Bought more guitars!

I’ve dramatically slashed my personal gadget footprint. Phone, watch cause I like the exercise data, a Linux box I barely touch, old iPad for movies and video chat.

I pickup the guitar rather than sit at the TV or computer. Learning an instrument connects both sides of the brain like no other skills based activity.

No ads, acoustic road trips easy enough, no worry about charging, smart speakers would hear some bad covers of Wonder Wall.

It’s a life changing experience.

So when the TV breaks, maybe consider replacing it with $500 digital piano to get weighted keys and decent built in sound instead of paying for an ad distribution device.
"Smart" is just a marketing buzzwords. These days due to this smart tv thing I can't find any decent dumb TV.

Were semialgebras a right abstraction, or over-engineering?

What is helpful in situations like this is the motto "as simple as possible, but not simpler". During a code review, if you see something you think is too complex, ask the author: "How could it be made even simpler? If not, how exactly a simpler approach did not work?" It sometimes helps find an overlooked simplification.
Anti-discrimination laws, human rights, and democracy are also historical aberrations. But I think they're kind of worth keeping around.

Perhaps getting accurate facts about the world is also important?
Because you still don't understand, on an underlying level, what culture is, how people differ from each other, or how to accommodate that diversity. I'm trying to help you by at least pointing you in the right direction, but I'm close to giving up. It's Dunning-Kruger (which is not an insult and not uncommon in this domain) -- you're unaware of what you don't know.

My experience is the international business community has generally done the best work here, since they needed to create organizations which work across cultures, and that's difficult if all employees take the type of myopic view you're taking. Good starting points include Hofstede, the Culture Shock series, Neurotribes, as well as Googling "[insert-country-name] business culture" (the country should NOT be Western or Southern Europe, which are too similar to the US).

If you choose to go down that route, it will take a few years, but it will make you more successful in your career, and a better person in your personal life.
I could absolutely see an aggregator model, where the quasi-publisher maybe even provides some degree of editorial support at the copyediting level. The question then becomes though if the $100 or so/year which still seems to me to be the ceiling for something like this is sufficient to support a stable of writers.
>Avoid inheritance. Once an object is instantiated, don't change its internal state. etc.

Just embrace Clojure then. You get all that enforced for you, plus the entire Java eco-system.
Yes, you can do that. It's not something the farmers strapped for workers can do, but the government certainly can. It would not be particularly popular in most political climates, so passing such laws in democracies are always difficult. But as the Canada example shows, not impossible.
Open source exists so one person can build off the ideas of other people. This is how we get layers of abstraction that make computers approachable for the next person.

So one person makes the OCR component. Another makes the SBC to control it. Another makes the drivers for interfacing with sensors... ect.

Obviously this is too much work for one person. I think it's still worth it though. Maybe not to you, but then again you obviously don't care so you're free to go buy an off the shelf Chevy that you can never fix.
58G 63f,

1. Go down to line 58

2. Jump to the 63rd comma

3. Edit
True, but this case contains a little more complexity. Namely:

1. Chrome, as the dominant browser, drives developer behaviour (devs need to change their websites when Chrome breaks compat). Firefox doesn't have this luxury, so some features like this must necessarily be lead by Chrome in the monopolistic browser world we live in.

2. Referers allow websites to individually track users better, which is bad for user privacy if you are concerned about entities such as Facebook, etc. tracking you. However, those entities are Google's competitors; for Google, Chrome does the tracking, so they have no need of the Referer.

Removing it is "good" for user privacy w.r.t. Google's competitors, and simultaneously good for Google (disadvantaging such competitors).
Some of this comes from a willingness to do it, though. With static imports, it isn't actually impossible to effectively add keyword like things to java. It is done far less often than it is in other communities, though. And I can't see why.
Apple Developing New 'HomePod' Models with Screens and Cameras

Your questions assume the samples were tracked and assigned to the correct reports. Its much more likely that both samples were processed, and a software bug assigned them the same output. You have to understand the company wasn't organized around results, it was organized around the appearance of results. The employees were earnest and motivated to do the right thing, so the samples were likely processed, but something like a bug in the handoff or assignment of data is unlikely to be caught. Incorrectly assigned data isn't important when the real goal is to give the appearance of success.
- A monorepo build tool that handles having a "base" Dockerfile that builds the monorepo dependencies (npm install + npm build) but that then lets sub-images use a subset of the repo easily without needing to re-install/re-build.

- A really nice TypeScript shell scripting setup. I'd like to see Duktape or JavascriptCore used, combine with esbuild/swc, Actually Potable Executable, and ShellJS. Basically, give me a single binary that runs cross platform, so I can write my scripts using TS. Anything to save me from having to continue googling weird bash edge-cases constantly.
They're different but not completely orthogonal. Dependency injection is often used to achieve dependency inversion.
> Who is "we"?

Classic Neoliberals, as stated. Or, people who like evidence-based policy in general. Cities are more efficient in terms of output per resource input, environmental externalities, etc.

China has some of the most populated cities in the world. Real estate prices are way beyond the average person's reach and it's only getting worse. People who migrate to cities for work are often slaving away with no end in sight, all just to send money back anyway. Heck, even 'skilled' labor is forced to do that because there's so much competition from the millions of others. Meanwhile the people who are left behind in the country struggle to get even a basic standard of living.

How one earth is that 'working'? China's QoL increases are entirely about it becoming richer in general. 户口 is a nasty bit of central planning that messes with peoples lives and crushes them at random. It hasn't stopped overpopulation.
It hasn't solved the other problems. It gives people advantages based on a dice roll of their birth, rather than merit, and then the rest of the Chinese system compounds it.

Honestly, your comments are starry-eyed orientalism at its worst. Chinese 'capitalism' is a horror show.

Just a bunch of buzzwords. Is there any estimation what is the overhead to ensure reliable continuous electricity supply in microgrid? In some places even a week-worth amount of energy storage is required, that means oversized batteries or fossil fuel backup generator anyway. As compared to grid that has many sources in many places and can more easily use them effectively.
Both these questions are related in the sense it reflects how large the audience needs to be to a viable business.

Question is how much VC money has been burnt on it - perhaps it’s bootstrapped well and it can succeed at a much smaller scale; it’s definitely possible.

However in the long run, it’s somewhat of an easily replicable stack / feature set, particularly as I assume that most highly successful writers would want to control their branding and prefer not to be on substack if they could reach the same audience.

Which they likely can’t. Substack’a SEO abilities will be key to its success as that is in many ways it’s main feature (everything else can be replicated by any one of the millions of web developers out there).

In that sense, becoming the landing page of bookworms would be a significant achievement and to answer your question an important goal for any considerable success.

I base this on the fact that it seems like they have spent a fair bit in building the platform and it’s not as bootstrapped / low in capital as it may need to be to be viable as a smaller entity. But I’m guessing very much here!

Is it really that different to hosting blogs, personal websites or to Medium.com? They just have the mailing list feature, but for most that doesn’t work because it takes a long time to build your own mailing list, so the target audience of writers is small.

>The rainforests that were there before certainly produce methane

Conditions on the forest floor typically facilitate aerobic decomposition which does not release methane. [1]

>If you want to lock up carbon, you need to take it from the plants and sequester it somewhere natural forces (rot, weathering) won’t break it back down again - like a house, or in a cave, or in a hypoxic environment.

Hypoxic environment is exactly the conditions methanogenic bacteria operate in to turn biomass into methane. [2]

> Converting atmospheric co2 (or methane) into plastic that gets buried in a landfill is net negative carbon balance for instance.

Except for the energy needed to convert the molecules, the energy needed to transport plastic to a landfill. Energy production and transportation both are powered by fossil fuels mostly.
