That is indeed a question, and I observe that the democratic process that decides it is a bit skewed, at least from some people's points of view. AFAICT, a fair summary is that almost everyone wants restrictive rules where they live, but some/many also want permissive rules in other places (to which they can then drive). The suburban voters who want to drive in the inner city are quick to complain if one of the navigation systems starts recommending a shortcut through residential streets in their suburb.

Since voting happens according to where one lives, the suburban voters have next to no say in inner-city matters.

This may be seen as fair or unfair. Unfair, because it means that the most car-unfriendly voters tend to set the rules where it matters most, while the most car-friendly voters don't matter much. Fair, because it depresses the number of cars in the noisiest areas, somewhat equalising the noise/traffic people have to suffer where they live.
That's thermal energy not electricity out.

Natural gas is a better point, at 5.4 cents per kwh of baseload it squishes any renewables (3 cents/kwh for solar in a desert doesn't provide round the clock energy anywhere in the world).

It's also very clean in anything but co2
It's one thing to learn how to work hard on tasks you love to do.

It's quite another to learn how to work hard on tasks you hate to do (but still need to be done). I suspect a lot of people that "work hard" programming would not be able to work hard doing manual labor (i.e. digging sprinkler trenches or painting a fence in the hot sun) and would quickly rationalize hiring someone else to do it for them.

> In most cases it goes away on it's own or people don't even know they got it.. That doesn't seem all that scary.

...like COVID in young people?

It's true that Myocarditis often goes unnoticed and undiagnosed. That's what makes it dangerous. It's a leading cause of cardiac arrest in young people. If you actually do get diagnosed with Myocarditis, it's not necessarily a mild case. That's what makes me suspect the cases being reported now are just the tip of the ice berg.
I read a republican article on CO2 taxes and it had exactly the same talking points with the exception that CO2 taxes artificially increase prices.

I don't know why but the lack of nuance and inability to admit that some things can be a good idea given the right situation is really getting old. When you are following absolutes (with nothing forcing them to be true) you are bound to get it wrong eventually.
Exactly. I'm currently reading The Mythical Man-Month. 90% of what the book discusses in term of programming work that actually has to be done is completely irrelevant today. Still the software industry is bigger then ever. In the book it is also mentioned that programmers spend about 50% of their time on non-programming tasks. In my experience this is also true today. So no matter the tools we've got, the profession stayed the same since the early 70s.
Why are none of these reasonable?
No absolutely not, I think that's the worst of both worlds. I mean something like `rails generate` where it's a parameterized block of generated code that you insert inline and then edit to your needs.

The disadvantage is that making sweeping changes is more work. The advantage is that making sweeping changes can be done incrementally. But the big win with code generators is that all you need to understand what's happening is right in front of you instead of having to mentally unwind a clunky abstraction.

Don't get me wrong if you have a good abstraction that reduces the use of mental registers do it! But you would and should do that regardless of boilerplate.
We use React, Angular and Vue for websites where 99% of the functionality could be done without monstrosities like CSS-in-JS.

Over-engineering websites has been around forever. That's partially why jQuery is modular, letting you pick what you need.This covers the 'use jquery for just this one thing' crowd. And if they're lazy, well, they can hang their heads in shame because they have added an entire 83 KB to the page's initial load time. /s

This is the best piece of information I have come across this year.

From the depths of my heart, thank you.
I can relate to a lot of this. One thing I learned about myself recently is that I tend to default to programming because it practically guarantees that I'll feel good (dopamine from making things work, fixing bugs). Since I don't have many other hobbies that guarantee similar reward, there's not much of an incentive for me to do anything different whenever I'm feeling antsy about sitting around and not feeling productive.

one thing I've been doing with the help of some therapy recently that's somewhat helping is scheduling time (1 hour) to NOT program. No expectation of actually doing anything and accepting any uneasy feelings that arise. Just making sure that I make the time to tune in to feelings / thoughts without the option of picking up my computer as a sort of pacifier.

first time I did this, I just sat nervously for 30 minutes until I got bored and then looked for problems around my house to fix (which took 2 hours and was pretty satisfying). After a few rounds of this I noticed myself acting on small, non-programming interests outside my scheduled times.

just figured I shared in case others are feeling same and want something to try :)
Yes, as I've said elsewhere, I think we need to have a discussion about E2E and law enforcement. In order for our legal system to work, we need to have some access to "private" communications.

I do get the need to prevent governments snooping on journalists and protesters. But I think there's also a valid need for access to evidence for our justice system to function properly. If we can't convict people without evidence (rightly), and we can't force people to incriminate themselves (rightly), then we must be able to access evidence somehow.
For mobile notes, I actually do the most fastest most cross-platform thing of all: I email myself. I can sort everything later if need be into my regular journals or wherever is applicable.
And why exactly is the heliocentric model of the solar system garbage compared to the geocentric model?
What do you have to lose? If there are a lot of companies interviewing (high demand), you just interview at a couple of them. When they ask how much you expect, tell them 20% more than what you are making now. If they say that can't be done, just politely say that it doesn't make sense for you to join at that time, but perhaps in the future another role will open up.

Then, at least you can go home knowing that you are already making what the market can bear, and you aren't leaving money on the table.
Every person I've ever met who claims to be one of these hard workers who puts in 70 hours a week and never takes time off always seem to be taking mid-week holidays to Bali, golfing on sunny Tuesday afternoons etc. It's all a big show.
Yeah crawling out of a pandemic, it's kinda new territory.

Had you described the actual pandemic to some folks before it happened I would think they would have predicted things would be way worse than they are.

I'm kinda surprised things are the way they are. I would have expected serious economic disaster type stuff.

It's never a really straightforward thing though.

I'm from Canada and we have Universal Health Care which is great.

So when it comes to health care many Canadians like to shit on the US.

On the other hand, Canadians are always complaining about not making enough money, getting taxed high and stuff. And many dream about going to the US where their money making potential is apparently higher.

So to many Canadians, at some point, the potential to make more money outweighs the UHC enough to leave Canada and go to the US to make it big.

So depending on where you are the capitalist nature of the US is a terrible thing and the thing that provides opportunities not afforded by one's own country.
So now we know where the security engineers from Western Digital went.
> Programmer discipline doesn’t scale

Thank you for putting this so eloquently. This has basically been the sole tenet of my programming philosophy for several years, but I’ve never been able to put it into words before.
I'm not supporting any new database, just pointing out that if our goal is to prevent centralized government databases of Americans, that ship has already sailed... around the world several times over.
There is an easy way for businesses to fix that though: Pay people more. If you compensate people for what they worth they will stay, if you don't they will leave. I don't think it's a good idea to shame people into staying in a job where they are being paid less than they could earn on the open market. Also why should I stay indebted to a company that won't/can't pay what I'm worth? Loyalty died a long time ago. There are no pensions or other incentives to stay and businesses lay people off at the first sign of trouble. If a business can fire or lay me off without warning then I'm not going to feel bad about leaving (and often giving 2-4 weeks notice).

> To clarify, what I am interested in here is the interaction of C-standard UB with any guarantee this compiler may give with regard to semantics preservation under optimization.

To clarify my point: undefined behaviour has any semantics you might want it to have. Anything and everything is semantically correct even under optimization. Even if the compiler says it will do one thing and then does another: it's correct either way.

The computer may "do something" with division by zero. Or the compiler might completely elide the code and replace it with a picture of a teapot before it even gets as far as hitting a register in anger. It's still valid, semantically, because you're dividing by zero from which you can prove anything and everything.
I'm confused. You went from talking about events in NY that verify vaccination to events that do not. My point is that the draconian verifications that you talk about in NY have not been proven to increase safety in any meaningful way.

If we're going to create two separate classes of people, one of which does not enjoy the same freedoms and abilities as the other, I think there needs to be actual data to back it up instead of it just "feeling like" it's the safer thing to do.
On the flip side, though, aren't you taking one data point (the school district your kids go to in Los Angeles) and extrapolating that, because it's not happening there, it's not really happening anywhere?
Are those of us happy/comfortable with current major cloud offerings simply not speaking up here? I can't fathom running a data center any longer for a company of nearly any size. Given my team's responsibilities, this would require 2-3x more headcount with significantly worse SLA/SLO if we still ran our own datacenter. Maybe it's not such a big deal for places with constant demand? Or is this just a case of observer bias?
I was kinda expecting to open a *.txt-like page. xD
That's a _ridiculously_ reductive view of what games are. Like any form of media they range wildly from simplistic and addictive to rich and artistic and everything in between. Suggesting that all games are built to addict and waste time/money belies an utter lack of understanding of the landscape of games.
I'm a little bit skeptical about this notion that the ad model is fundamentally detrimental to the search results that Google gives you. It honestly doesn't even seem like it makes business sense. At the end of the day Google benefits from giving the most accurate results in the long term, and it's such a money printing engine I don't think they're degrading the search quality.

Whenever I tried privacy-first or "non-ad" search engines, most recently duckduckgo, I found myself spamming !g a lot.

It's nice to have an alternative obviously and I hope it's sustainable to have a paid search engine but it in some sense seems more like a lifestyle product to me.
This GOP argument is the capitalist argument. It also often overlaps with centrist Democrats like the Clinton/neoliberal view.

The government is not productive. The Government can't create broadband because the government doesn't actually create anything. But the government can implement a mandate, for something like "broadband for all". It sounds great, but it will fall short. The Government will inefficiently allocates resources leading to downtime and shortages. The free market allocates resources properly and will provide better and less expensive broadband internet, at no cost to the tax payer.
It accounts for more than half. Using the st louis fed chart that you linked, housing is up 137% from jan 2000 to jan 2021. If we adjust for interest rates[1] (8% -> 2.3%), that gets us down to 23%. If we adjust for inflation[2], it gets down to 21% lower.

We really don't know yet if (and when) a booster shot would be needed, and if we would need an extra shot of the same vaccine (to help with immune escape) or a tweaked version (for resistant variants). So far research suggests that we're good, but this isn't something that's set in stone.

If you're a vaccine maker, it's a good idea to have something ready if it turns out that a booster is needed. If you're in charge of public health, it's a good idea to plan for that possibility. That doesn't make it the plan yet.

Also note that you're looking at a press release. Scientific press releases take the information from the article, summarize it by giving the main achievement, removing any caveats, and otherwise presenting it in the best possible light possible. There are press releases like that for vaccines that were later shown to be ineffective, because at that point they were promising.
for those of you like this concept but 1. did not get into the alpha (or want something that has lots of great reviews) 2. need to run locally (security or connectivity) 3. want to use any IDE... please try Tabnine
You’re exactly right in your statement. But of all the experiences they could control, the most important is a webcam?

That webcam is placed on an OS known for intrusive advertising and data collection, with OEMs known for pushing pre-installed software that’s invasive, if not full-blown malware.

You’re exactly right about the facts. The problem is the perception of the theme here.
Start working some l33tcode problems and applying to other jobs. If you hate your job, it pays poorly, you have no upward mobility, and you don't get to do anything enjoyable, get another job. The companies on levels.fyi are all hiring, go do what it takes to get hired by them.
I don't see why. It is on Copilot to produce syntactically correct code that at least doesn't fail to run, even if we ignore the correctness.
> $400-per-visit deductible

$400 is pretty close to the cost of an office visit, physical exam, metabolic panel, lipid panel, and EKG, which is what a primary care doc is going to order annually on something like 90% of Americans after a certain age.

It shifts the expense of routine care and checkups to the patient. If you view insurance as indemnification against unexpected loss, it shouldn't be paying for expected, routine costs.
Maybe. But the current system means a lot of people never get care until things get real bad, and it's the ER. I am not sure the total price goes up with a full universal healthcare... but, a lot of large companies (blue cross, etc) are obsolete.
Except that Bill Gates and people of that type don't get tired from it. They get energized.

Every other OS.
It's full of legacy APIs and scrapped new APIs.
Every release is like two steps one step forward, one step back and one two the side.
Just because thousands of companies have written software and drivers for it, it's still existing.
If it were released today it wouldn't stand a chance.
It's like with smoking. Sure, you're writing jQ for decade it's hard to quit. I strated coding relatively late and I have no fucking idea why do you ever need jQuery.
Brick houses are terrible for insulation, terrible for running any new technologies like wiring or plumbing through, terrible for disasters like earthquakes.

I also live here in the PNW and I know what you mean by the ugly boxes, but that is what people want.
The problem is that you’re grinding something you already know (in my experience always something too easy) just for hearts, and the heart system removes the ability to grind something you don’t know until you know it in a lesson. I want to make mistakes until I nail it when I’m learning.

That said, at least the Pro version fixes it.
Not in all countries, just ask CCP
Oh that is really nice hardware. But ya, similar to that.

Maybe I will sit down and see if I can design something myself.
Depends entirely on the type of project and the data.

Data that models easily via sql? Percona Xtradb Cluster works pretty well.

Data that models better as a hierarchy of objects? OpenLDAP is pretty amazing.

But a project using either of those is likely to also use eg redis+qless for processing out of band tasks.

If it’s a utility that needs to store some data it might use SQLite.

My point is that understanding how various options can be used is likely to give a better result than just having a “goto” square peg and hammering it into every hole you find, regardless of shape.
On this case knowing about this vulnerability allows you to take corrective action. If Google cannot fix the root cause this doesn't necessarily mean there aren't mitigations that can be done manually by an end user (yes it sucks, but still better than getting hacked)
It doesn't matter if it's subjective.

I am always excited to hear about disruption in search. I would absolutely pay for a private search engine provided the results are useful!

But how can I be confident that neeva will not misuse my data? If I hook up my accounts to this service, I’ve gotta trust neeva with all the same information that google would have.

Is it possible to provide search functionality with only open source client side logic? This is in regards to the gmail, GitHub, slack integration. Now that would grab my attention!
Self driving is used in the mining industry, and lots of high paid drivers have been replaced.

But you are clearly more knowledgeable with your 0 drivers replaced comment.
I expect nickserv was talking about all the Googlers in the founders and investors lists. But this bit in particular really jumped out at me, for a company making a big deal about its add-free purity:

"Neeva was founded by Sridhar Ramaswamy (ex-SVP of Ads at Google) and Vivek Raghunathan (ex-VP of Monetization at YouTube)"

I can't help but wonder what clause there might be in the user contract (with teeth) that would prevent a future pivot or buyout or redefinition of the "Digital Bill of Rights" after all that juicy user data has been collected.
"Neeva was founded by Sridhar Ramaswamy (ex-SVP of Ads at Google) and Vivek Raghunathan (ex-VP of Monetization at YouTube)"
I just watched this demo on twitter[1] and found it entertaining that it was auto-completing useless, redundant comments for the developer. Pretty sure that says more about all of us developers as a whole than about Copilot.

It basically embodied the bad side of JS frameworks pre-React.

> “Societal success” in this sense is relative to others’ performance

That's only true because we failed to offer something better. Societal success should mean: "economic security and independence, and the pursuit of happiness", where happiness is defined as one's wellbeing. And that shouldn't require hard work.

If it was the case, than people could choose to work as hard or as easy as they want to achieve anything grandiose and ambitious, but they wouldn't have too, they'd be free to choose too or not.

At least it is my opinion that a society should try to eliminate the need for physical and mental exertion from its citizens, while providing them with their needs met, and thus setting them free to do as they please. What they please to do could be to work on extra hard problems, or to put hard work 24/7 on some goal, even if it's a stupid one, like a world record at cherry pit spitting.

The way it is now, "societal success" comes from being an outlier in being able to have this freedom to choose to continue to work hard or not. People basically aspire to achieve societal success by performing better then others financially and getting themselves into a position of inequality where they hold the big end of the stick. And the messaging is that to achieve this privileged position, you need to put in "hard work". And I feel this is the wrong outcome of society.
Fair point. I believe I manage to save enough time of "doing nothing" in my daily life (although it might feel uncomfortable sometimes as others pointed out in the thread) that I don't need that during vacation. I see it as an opportunity to do things I don't have time/energy to do otherwise.
SonarQube and IntelliJ does it in some way for me.
