hall is cognate to Halle I think. The proper standard German translation for hall might be Gutshof. But primarily, Hof refers to a yard, and then derived from that, are related meanings. It can refer to a farm (in many German regions a farm consists of several houses /stables arranged in a way that the buildings form the enclosure of a yard, "der Hof", see also David Hasselhof: Hassel-Hof, the Farm of Hassel).

A rural hotel/Restaurant is sometimes referred to as a Gasthof (Gast=Guest).

court of justice = Gerichtshof

royal court = Königshof

atrium = Vorhof

The Korean word your referencing seems to stem from Hofbräu, which refers to the royal court, Hofbräu is the Bräu (= brew) with the royal warrant (from the Königs-Hof).

We tried this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_estate

The move from life estates and fee tails to fee simples was not a mistake. It was a core component of western society moving out of the feudal era. It's VERY difficult to durably invest in lands and estates otherwise.

We should be railing against the return of economic instability and lack of access to durable wealth for the middle class, not accelerating our return to permanently unlanded peasantry.
Dead on.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. I like to think of it this way. A good "programmer" can take ideas and turn them into working software that is performant enough, meets all of the requirements, etc. This is a mostly static operation. A good "engineer" can take ideas and turn them into working software that can be changed, updated, and maintained for years to decades by multiple programmers.

There are code bases at my current employer that are entirely "ok" and still being worked on from before I was able to spell my name. Projects that have had continued development for >20 years by armies of engineers and the code is still readable and simple to understand.
Also "go shop elsewhere" doesn't really work when all my favorite small shops are forever shutdown because they can't compete with Amazon. Amazon's real competition is other mega-websites like it, with very similar problems, like walmart.com or target.com. Anti-regulation types simply dont realize how much of the problem the are, which I find a bit depressing.
Ah missed that part. Thanks

Do you happen to know about a mcmaster equivalent for the EU?
Yeah, but I can hardly blame non-technical people who don't know the prices of things and who haven't heard about the cheats that off-brand memory cards can pull. I mean, many of them advertise to the computer that they are the listed size. But... when you fill them up, it becomes clear that's a lie.

I wish Amazon could randomly test and delist some of those products or whatever. Or maybe do some random testing before listing them for sale, it's not some obscure scam after all.
Love my infrared thermometer for steeping tea at exact temperatures. These things are terrible for medical purposes since they only measure surface temperature, but they're perfect for diagnosing industrial machinery and tea. Also more versatile than those expensive programmable tea-brewing contraptions!
Seems like you're operating under the assumption that all involved are sociopaths who would feel no guilt over deaths they caused. This is, in my opinion, a bad assumption and reflective of a terrible worldview on your part.
I strongly disagree. You're packing a bunch of different metrics of quality into a single bullet and somehow suggesting those are separate than the second bullet point. Readability is just as dependent a metric as the others. If you make things that are hard to read, I can guarantee they are not going to be robust, as well as likely not performant.

In my experience, the easiest to maintain code is very often the most efficient and robust as well, because people haven't felt the need to hack around it at every corner.
It’s a problem and is the reason I default to skepticism. What is the solution, though?

Skepticism is crippling— and definitely annoying to others. Drives my family crazy, because it comes off as belligerent contrarianism.

Corporate broad spectrum wire tapping has been greenlit legally for a long time. An employer can listen to private and public communications that occur on and off of company owned resources. This includes:

- emails

- text messages

- microphone arrays

- shared networks

- keyboard input

- file storage

- contact and communication history

It's a logical next-step from there to expand these services under the guise of subscriptions. That's why you owning a device is problematic for them. That said, owning the platform is the next best thing because they can now do many but not all of those things in the name of protecting their platform from "abuse".

Having worked on systems that vendors use to ship products, there's a reason it's called "shipping and handling." The shipping cost is usually calculated immediately via an API from the shipping company. The handling cost is whatever you want to tack on after shipping is calculated.
Perhaps? They could also be filtering out candidates that lack adequate self awareness.

The controversial part is where he suggests that this is a "problem" and might be a good reason to exclude women from working in the lab alongside with males. That looks like he's starting out with a very sexist attitude and trying to justify it with flimsy excuses.
This is the answer, or a very large part of it. Incentives are set up such that this is an inevitable outcome.
I'm all for this type of thinking, but like the others point out, you still need to keep yourself in check and put active effort into figuring out when it makes sense. 'Spartan' isn't the only relevant quality. The Hobart mixer is cool, but might it consume too much energy, or is it too heavy to move around when needed? The beakers are sweet, but am I yet wealthy enough to pretend money isn't real?

All things considered, I would love to see more people put together their own lists of ways you can do better than the consumer default. I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities of this kind.
The context is that he in essence says that this problem has no good solution, but he thinks that the co-ed labs are the best alternative even with all the shortcomings that go with them. Everyone will be perfectly professional until someone falls in love and the PC solution crumbles to dust. And FWIW, I think he's right.

They're saying people are assholes. For instance, in some American cultures (see my previous comment for which culture), it's a given that perhaps 40-60% of married individuals are cheating on their spouse. That's not love--that's doing what feels good, and then doing someone else that feels good.

Where there's a power imbalance, it's easier to ban a class of abuses than to figure out the small percentage of cases where both parties are genuinely afflicted by mutual biological imperatives.
> This is why our streetlights used to be orange, until the LED companies stole the old light companies’ business without realizing there was a reason behind outdoor lights’ usual spectrum.

Ah... No... The yellow streetlights were not yellow because the particular color was a choice, or because "yellow" was better for humans in some way. They were yellow simply because those were sodium vapor lamps and the sodium emissions spectrum is in the yellow range. And they were sodium vapor lamps because sodium vapor lamps were more energy efficient that mercury vapor lamps (the whiter looking street lamps as compared to the yellow sodium ones).

And both mercury vapor and sodium vapor were used because they were the high energy efficiency offerings for street lighting before LED's came along and offered even greater energy efficiency.

And when you count out how many street lights exist, even small amounts of energy efficiency improvements per lamp multiply quickly into large cost savings in paying for the energy usage (street lamps are not free, someone, typically the local government, is paying for the energy consumption).
That's not been my experience at all. Every Buc-ees I've been to has a seating section of tables meant for this very thing. This section is located near where they are selling sandwhiches, ice cream, etc, and opposite where the store section is located. Maybe these are newer stores than the ones you've visited?

But not doing this is what Bezos thinks as well. That’s why he collapses all costs into a single price. He’s in agreement.
The issue is in actually using all that knowledge in a single position and creating enough value. Larger organizations have specialized teams that move faster at their function rather than generalized devs.

The way for full-stack devs to profit most is to work at smaller companies and trade that for equity and seniority.
Huh, I thought I was pretty clear that I meant an individual researcher employed by industry to do their research ("for CS in general - and especially for AI - you'll be just fine in industry.... Go where the incentives are better aligned for you.") - was it not?
It's technically optional right now... although currently there isn't an office to go back to for my department. The company decided to remodel during the pandemic (smart, imo), but the construction company ended up having to shutdown during Nov/Dec/Jan due to Covid so they're behind schedule.

New tentative date is September.

Based on what management has talked about thus far... seems we'll be going back to some sort of hybrid model. Though no details have been released yet.

"When I use my discount card at the grocery store? Every purchase? That's a dataset for sale."

He's just using that as a general example, right ? He does not, himself, as a data privacy expert and knowledgeable user of networks actually use a grocery discount card, right ?

Further, the more general set of examples that make up his narrative rely, to some degree, on using a mobile device that is connected to, or even registered in, his actual, real name.

He doesn't do that, right ? Is anyone here doing that ?
Thank you! I made this as a replacement for using the Python prompt for calculations actually haha.

The comment about the safety aspect of a physical volume control reminds me of something mildly irritating on my car.

There is a physical volume control separate from the display, but when Android Auto navigation is in use, it only controls the radio and not the navigation voice.

I know they wanted to make these volumes independent and prevent people from accidentally turning the directions down to inaudibility, but the minimum volume is a little too loud for me, and sometimes maybe the visual directions are enough anyway.
That's just far from being a monopoly. I subscribe to Amazon because I've always got an excellent service.

I also buy on Ebay, Craglist, Walmart and diverse retailers that are entering the eCommerce game.

The thing here is that markets take longer to work but if you look around, there is plenty of competition.
"Military grade" has very different connotations if you have been in the service. So yeah, great conversation starter, interesting worldview; can't say I share it though.
> I want a Martin Baker ejection seat as a chair in my living room

I get the draw, but comfort in these seats is mixed. You should be able to sit in them for a few hours, but remember that the foam is dense enough to handle 7Gs.
In the long and short run, a better deserved rate will be offered by a competitor, not by a company who doesn't value the employee very much.
There are various universities that teach Haskell or similar languages in first year.
Probably "rogue" in the sense that direct control was not maintained at all times. The human controller told the drone to pull the trigger when the time was right, and the drone itself made the call as to when that was. It is a bit of sensationalizing for the sake of the headline though.
Walmart hasn't died yet. They'll be hanging around, presumably along with Alibaba and other Chinese firms, for whenever Amazon screws up badly enough to get broken up/subjected to consent decrees/etc.
Consumer grade products are deliberately designed to fail.

This is why:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5v8D-alAKE&t=833s

If you're older, like really old, you can actually remember a time where products were of a much much higher durability before the industry figured out that low durability products were more profitable.

So in actuality some of the suggestions on that site aren't necessarily overkill as industrial products aren't deliberately engineered to fail.
The same goes for junior writers who think that complex sentences and words are a sign of superiority, and later discover that the real (and bigger) challenge is writing clearly.
I’m not sure, you can become the newcomer yourself when you have to come back to parts of your code base months later. My experience writing simpler code has been pretty successful to respond to customers wanting random new features.
Because good senior programmers are rare (as can be observed if you post a job listing).

Most of this stuff comes from students / junior developers, where yes, they probably visit stack overflow every 20 minutes
If the noble of heart can get good work done in academia despite the pressures on them, why can they not get good work done in industry despite the pressures on them?

I think it's a way that inflation's expressed itself. The only way to keep prepared food affordable for ordinary people having an ordinary meal has been relentless application of economies of scale and making the food worse. That keeps the prices close to "the same" but if you find food that tastes like even mid-tier fast-food in 1995 it costs 3x what it did then, not 1.5-2x like the current fast food joints. That's because they squeezed more money out of economies of scale, and made the food worse.

A place serving a decent home-style or local-diner-style meal that isn't just microwaved can't compete with the Pizza Hut express or a McDonalds for the money of people just popping off the highway for a bite and a fill-up. They're too slow and they (have to!) charge too much. Plus land and rent's getting more expensive all the time, in excess of broader consumer inflation, and has been for a while (many fast food chains are also plays for real-estate value, as I understand it, which is another way they can afford to undercut local competition)
I would have liked more detail on how this process works. Amazon can't very well punish Store A for the actions of undetectably-identically-owned Store B. Yet somehow the "Buy Box" has some magic way of detecting that? Maybe Amazon just has really good investigators, and they've made it clear that when they catch you, you're dead, and they'll deny the retribution by blaming opaque "Buy Box" algorithms.
I am curious if stagnate user growth could cause these companies to revert to a subscription model, but I suspect there's lots of plans to avoid that.

IRC technology news from the second half of 2020
As an espresso enthusiast with a rather robust prosumer setup, I considered 'overkill' commercial options, which are widely available and roughly the same price (sometimes less, with work).

The overkill options...well, they're not made for home, which actually makes them worse for home use cases. Sure, a La Marzocco Linea can pull a thousand shots a day with extreme consistency and temperature stability.

My Lelit Bianca can't keep up on volume, but it is smaller, reaches operating temperature more quickly, and is temp stable for the number of shots I pull even with a dozen people over for a party. It uses a standard electrical plug, it has a consumer-grade warranty, and it's relatively easy to maintain for a regular Joe like me.

So sure, a commercial version of a thing might be more robust, longer-lasting, etc., but what tradeoffs are you making to achieve those characteristics?

Phabricator was an inspiration to me when starting GitLab. It is shutting down now.

I bring a fixed blade knife hiking. Can split wood in a pinch. Not nearly as heavy as a ka-bar, though.

Your point still stands, though. I had a military pack and couldn’t believe how heavy it was even when empty. Ultralight hiking gear is pretty amazing and optimized for an entirely different goal. That said, I still feel like specialty gear like this is a different class than the average consumer stuff.. closer to industrial or military in design than Amazon junk.
Such a twisted view. If someone works hard their whole life, and wants their hard-earned (and already taxed) money/investments to give their children a leg-up, who are you to say no?

Buying an ejector seat for your living room is quite eccentric, but I wouldn’t really consider it overkill. It doesn’t even have arms.
I'd really really love a Qi or even better, an eInk laptop. Black and white would be fine. Colour eInk has too bad refresh rates anyway(or useless colours with LCD overlay like eInk Kaleido) For text terminal work it would be fine and the laptop could be really low spec (think raspberry pi kind of specs)

I live in Spain and it would be really nice being able to do some light work outside in the sun. You can do it with some regular laptops (especially with HDR displays) but it will kill battery life and you'll still end up squinting. It's really sad that PixelQi went out of business.
