> at the very least tripping like this puts people into an internal experience that is otherwise hidden from us

Oh yes, I had a fun one on truffles. There were a few minutes (or more) where I couldn't parse the world anymore. All I knew and understood was "don't move and you'll be safe" (I was on a bed).

I was so scared of everything beyond the bed! I could barely understand the bed itself, so I knew being on there was safe. Everything else felt so terrifying, because I had no understanding of what I was looking at. Were the objects in the room friend or foe? What happens when you fall of the bed? Do you fall in a dark pit, does your reality change, or do you simply fall 0.5 meters? I don't know.

Heck, even describing this assumes much more knowledge than I had back then. But it did teach me something: when I don't know something, it seems that one of my base emotions is fear. And I've seen it at certain moments when I've been sober as well (like not knowing what's going on).

Since then I've told myself: "Mettamage, whatever you don't understand, you're gonna be fine." And that helps :)

Just curious, which ones? I remember Google felt so far above any other search engine for a very long time.

> SOA: [xxxx][yyyy][zzzz][wwww]

That difference only occurs if, for some random reason, you came about what's the address of element zero of that array, or if for any even rarer reason you have a hard requirement of when you cease to process x and start to process y, and you find a single memory jump prohibitively expensive.

Meanwhile, AOS is already by definition [xxxx] and [yyyy] and [zzzz] and [wwww], given the remaining members of the struct are treated as padding.
I don't think it's clearly the result of what you indicate.

I'm no GOP fan at all but having done a lot of work with the federal government a very constant theme in politics is this idea that if only federal agencies are given more funding they can suddenly magically do their jobs better.

This ignores the fact that most of these agencies are horrific with their spending efficiency. The VA for example does not have any shortage of money but I've never encountered an organization with so many toxically inept bureaucrats, and unnecessarily numerous layers of management who don't seem to do anything.

The idea that there is this conspiracy to cause a degradation of service is not proven and that would welcome you to provide actual data from a non-political organization that backs this up.

I don't know why you have so much trouble with Bosh, they're up there with other well known brands such as Sorny, Panasomnic and Magnetbox.

On the other hand I have a cordless Bosch drill/driver set I bought refurb, they've held up to years of neglect and (not pro) use. Maybe give them a try next time?

Edit: jokes aside, that's good information. Fwiw I had to babysit a little tube for an hour+ to drain a Samsung washer to get at the drain filter. I wish I could have used a shop vac to speed that up.

I am a pandas user considering refactoring part of my ETL pipeline to SQL. I see the trade off as memory efficiency vs expressiveness, and for simple queries on big data, SQL wins. Would you disagree that Pandas/Python is more expressive than SQL? I’m less experienced in SQL but based on my limited experience there, it seems Pandas is clearly more expressive. What is the SQL equivalent of Pandas .apply(lambda x) ?
Right -- many friends are lawyers and they basically say law is a slow grinding gear. So, my naive thought is that any improvement in speed should be a deterrent for the mischievous.

And thinking out loud, it sounds like if blockchain were used to run financial operations for a company, we could make the infamous audits for Luckin Coffee's and GSX's a thing of the past. Or at least after one mistake (the LC coupon issue was an interesting hack to avoid detection), update the contract, then all future instances are robust to the same issues.

GAAP Rules and Arm's Length Transactions could be factually monitored too... interesting

"The point is to break out of the box, but once out, you don't need to keep doing it."

Well, it is easy to get into a box again real quick, so there is some logic to keep doing it.

But I really don't like the idea of needing a drug to be free, so yes, there are other ways. But if some have a working system with regular Ayuhasca or some other drug, why not.
It used to be a community ritual as far as I know and I can really see benefits in doing so, if done right.

I did such a Ayuhasca ceremony 14 years ago in some australian jungle (including the traditional preparation of the drug) and it just was the right time and place and I would not have mind to have such a experience in a group regulary.

But I really don't feel it to go to one of those Ayuhasca centers that are now also around europe for example.
And Ayuhasca is also no magic eye opener. The last person I spoke to, who did such a thing, was overall quite happy with it - but his main takeaway was a feeling of righteousness in his personal belive system - and since his believes were very spaced out - it was a reason for me to still pass on that. I don't want my believe system to reimbursed. I want to get new insights and reflexion of what I am doing and let go of things I don't need anymore.

OP is equating zoning out with doing psychedelics. I completely disagree with that. Psychedelics don't numb and distract liked drinking alcohol. They do pretty much the exact opposite.
Unfortunately Rust is currently lacking structural records/structs and enums. I think they removed them early on in the design. So you'd have to name the all the types. I hope they do add them back one day.
I’m unclear. Are you saying the way you avoid context switching is by emailing yourself? If so, I’m still unclear on how that avoids context switching. What are you emailing to yourself and why?

Emacs with org-mode has helped me avoid context switching. It makes it very easy to add, edit, reorganize, or view a note or notes.

The paper you linked doesn't report the correlation as far as I could see, but it did cite a paper that said it was 0.86[0]. That's great for a social sciences correlation, but not so great as a way to be fair. 0.86 leaves a lot of room for other processes - and in competitive scenarios at the top of the distribution, the confounders could make all the difference.

This was what turned out to be more of a subtle point than I thought it would be in https://taeric.github.io/CodeAsData.html

For me, there is a mindset of how to read the code that is unlocked by not having to specially parse so much of it in my head. It really can be seen as a list of code. And I can more easily see ways of transforming the code.

Granted... I actually like the LOOP and FORMAT forms a lot. They somewhat break the easy to parse, but often they work as a coherent unit of code by themselves.
Some commenters mentioned these building owners really do add extra floors in the future. But also, I assume the corrosion would travel down the rebar as well?
WSL works well, until it doesn't. For a non C# (or msft ecosystem) dev, Windows offers very little advantage for development. Every tool that is used mostly by Unix loving folks requires workarounds(when possible) to make it work on Windows. Terminal clients are subpar at best, the only selling point I see on Windows is the ability to play games. Without mentioning the privacy issues on Windows. Most mainstream Linux distros are rock solid stable. You can use out of the box Ubuntu as your daily driver with no configuration, besides installing the software you like. I'm not familiar with Gentoo, but yeah, if you install an arcane distro you could have issues with drivers, etc... MacOs is pretty solid too.
Does that really happen? Every place I've ever seen or been too has the tank you bring in get refilled. Never have I seen people switch them out.
Last week we "officially" launched something that we worked on for the past few years.

The real motivation for this project comes from a simple frustration that it's not easy to make living out of developing your hobby open source software, even though it's being used by thousands of companies and brings them significant value. The only accessible way to make living from your software is by selling it as SaaS, which in turn is still overly complicated. We believe there is a better way and today we'd like to show it to you.
I'm looking forward to hear what you think.

I worked at Yahoo Travel until 2011. When I left, transition to Linux was in full swing. If there's any FreeBSD left, the host count has got to be tiny by now. Running two OSes is a pain, and Linux has bigger mindshare, so there you go.

Vespa was extensively used for vertical search when I was there. Things like content search inside Travel, Local, Finance, Shopping, etc... was either Vespa or a predicessor. I don't think Vespa was used for the general internet search engine, but may have been used for some of the side queries that happen at the same time.
I think it's more that people don't have the capital to make a second floor as they're building the first floor. I'm sure regulatory hurdles occur as well. It's common to eventually add a floor or two for rental income. Sometimes, the owner will move to the upper floors for better light, a breeze, and a newer home.
> What are the modern tech Stack behind Yahoo?

Too big to generalise. Shared tech stacks would be hard to call modern, but various tech stacks within teams were better. The more worthwhile stuff is open sourced (Athenz, Screwdriver) but there is a lot of shit internally, in varying stages of "deprecated but still the defacto solution".

> Still have any FreeBSD running?

I mean, there's probably some freebsd 7 hosts _somewhere_ and some of the internal tech stack supports it, but mostly it's RHEL6 when I left with a presumably-completed-by-now RHEL7 migration planned.

> Do Yahoo actually use Vespa [1] for their search engine?

Can't comment on search, but a partner team to my old team did.

With 5+ years of experience developing software full-time, I am looking to join a productive company with a good mission and strong engineering culture. The exact vertical is not important, as I've worked in automotive, analytics, and healthcare with success. My skills have been proven primarily through building interfaces and tooling, as well as some full stack and backend development. Previous tech lead experience. Hopefully I can bring a unique perspective to the team.

I think it boils down to what people deem "reasonably reliable" for such starting situations or whether that's a requirement in the first place. Related to whether it's better/required to structure your software as set of services or a monolith.

Of course, if you're already doing a devops or particularly mean full stack regular job where this is your daily bread, you might as well use the knowledge.
I have an idea: how about a spirit telling me a piece of information that I have no way of knowing myself? It can be a specific prediction of the future, location of an undiscovered artefact, or simply a sentence written on a piece of paper that I couldn't have seen. As far as I know, nothing of this sort happened, ever.

OpenRoadTMS | Software Engineer | Vilnius, Lithuania | ONSITE (post-covid) | Full Time / Part Time

https://www.openroadtms.com/

OpenRoad TMS is a highly autonomous software project/team within GPTransco (rapidly-growing US-based logistics company) striving to create the best "full-stack" transport management system, from truck and trailer management to billing and payroll. Our work improves the daily lives of professional truck drivers, dispatchers, and everyone else working in logistics. It is exciting to work in a largely un-disrupted industry where you can still make a change just by throwing code at it, and where creativity and outside-the-box-thinking are highly appreciated.

The OpenRoad TMS team enjoys no-fuss decision making, Friday hackathons and other goodies of a startup, while at the same time having all the benefits of working at a stable and established company. We follow best practices (TDD, code reviews, etc) and deeply care about code quality.

We are looking for Mid/Senior Software Engineer (full-stack, frontend or backend).

You would be working with Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, StimulusJS, AWS and plethora of other tech. Experience in these or related technologies would be great, but can often be substituted by enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Contact us at apply at openroadtms dot com

It's simple, Costco actually buys the inventory, and resells it. There are more advanced kinds of agreements (like buy back X number of coats of you sell less than Y) but that's largely how they operate.

Amazon is much more like a digital mall in that they rent out their store features for sellers.

However, Amazon would like to be seen by the customer as Costco and this causes dissonance between how they treat sellers, and how they treat customers.
>Pandas is a very popular tool for data analysis. It comes built-in with many useful features, it's battle tested and widely accepted. However, pandas is not always the best tool for the job.

SQL is very useful, but there are some data manipulations which are much easier to perform in pandas/dplyr/data.table than in SQL. For example, the article discusses how to perform a pivot table, which takes data in a "long" format, and makes it "wider".

In the article, the pandas version is:

>pd.pivot_table(df, values='name', index='role', columns='department', aggfunc='count')

Compared to the SQL version:

>SELECT
role,
SUM(CASE department WHEN 'R&D' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "R&D",
SUM(CASE department WHEN 'Sales' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "Sales"
FROM
emp
GROUP BY
role;

Not only does the SQL code require you to know up front how many distinct columns you are creating, it requires you to write a line out for each new column. This is okay in simple cases, but is untenable when you are pivoting on a column with hundreds or more distinct values, such as dates or zip codes.

There are some SQL dialects which provide pivot functions like in pandas, but they are not universal.

There are other examples in the article where the SQL code is much longer and less flexible, such as binning, where the bins are hardcoded into the query.
Assuming price stays the same that means half the revenue, almost the same fixed costs and probably slightly lower marginal costs.

There is always a limit on how much money you can get from the government so they would have to save on expenditure with the decline.

It's nice to have but it can't be considered critical anymore. Bills, paychecks and other important mail needs to be delivered digitally, there's no turning back.

edit: parcels and legacy papers still need to work everywhere though and that is worth some public spending, but if you live in the middle of nowhere you have to accept longer deliveries on fewer days of the week.
i'm not saying there will never be a valid use case for blockchain beyond bitcoin, i'm just skeptical about the hype of recent years where it's applied left and right to everything. so far all the use cases i've heard of could be replaced with a centralized database maintained by a consortium of interested parties.
I had the opposite experience with LSD. I was an agnostic mid teen when I started experimenting with it (and mushrooms). I never found the peak particularly spiritual. During one philosophical downside of a trip I thought about god quite a bit and came to the conclusion the entire concept made absolutely no sense. I've been an atheist ever since...
I don't think they do. It's similar to a grocery store that sells other companies products. Costco is different in that they sell products wholesale/bulk.
As with many things, 5g will be worth it once they stop marketing it.
I had some bitcoin and sold it. I found myself constantly checking it's value which distrubed my peace. So I got shot of it and am happier :-)
It’s a very niche question. You’re better served asking in Rust support channels like the discord or the subreddit.
According to the sign in the store, they also reduced the price.

i.e. the price per sheet is identical to the previous package. But the package is smaller.
This kind of thing really bothers me - it's like a symbol for how little they care about existing users.

I feel like there should be some specific name for this kind of thing - design patterns that target new users and suck for existing users. Honeymoon feature?

'First hit is always free' feature? Maybe just 'First hit'? I'm bad at naming.

SEEKING WORK | Prague, Czech Republic | Remote: Yes

Technologies: Python, Django, Javascript, Typescript, React, Django REST framework, mobx, Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Docker, GCP, AWS

email: predrag [at] getwelder [dot] com (linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/predrag-ristic-06b1b97b/)

With over 7 years of experience, I worked with startups, big companies, and even co-founded a few business. My main focus is on fullstack development with React & Django or Node.js but over the years I touched many different technologies and wore many different hats. Including product management, startup growth, and being a tech lead of a fast-moving team.

I consider myself a creative problem solver. At the end of the day what makes me tick is combining code, testing, architecture, product, and team spirit to solve actual problems.

I am available for short term contract (2-3 months). Let me know if you are interested.
