You seem to be making the assumption that since the fees are high, companies like doordash are making huge profits at the expense of the consumer, and that lowering the fees will just lower their profits. I don't think that is the case.

The reality is that it is pretty expensive to hire a person to drive to a restaurant, wait for your food, and then hand deliver it. Regulation that caps fees isn't going to magically make that process cheaper, it just means that they will either have to introduce new hidden fees to be profitable, or will have to stop offering delivery.
I see, thank you for explaining. Wheeled robot would take more space between plants and how would it carry a water hose without damaging plants?
"Move production there, think that they are stupid and never have any control over the manufacturing."

It's naive to believe that those who lobbied for and benefited from moving production to China were at all concerned about manufacturing control 30 years later. Fortunes were made. The current situation didn't sneak up on anyone, it's just that the people warning about it never had any real influence.
Hmm, Julia begs to differ, with most editors replacing lambda with the lambda Unicode symbol for example.
For me, systemd is the best thing since sliced bread.

As a programmer, I now don't need to care about dropping privileges, managing logging, daemonization (the moment I need to do the double-fork dance again, chairs will be flying, I swear), dropping into a chroot, and do half-arsed guesses "is it up and running yet?" from a convoluted mess of shell code that looks like a bunch of hair stuck down a drain for a month.

I just write an easy-to-debug program which I can launch from command line and see it run, and when I'm satisfied, a systemd unit from a cookie-cutter template is going to make it run. Service dependencies are now a breeze, too.

If I need to limit resources, I can just declare the limits in the unit. If I want a custom networking/mount namespace, it's taken care of.
What's the purpose of supporting other character sets in a language's syntax? Good luck finding contributors from all over the world for a software written in Turkish characters. I mean for hobbyists or very special purpose cases where such a thing is really needed (writing code in Turkish or Chinese or Arabic or whatever), people can add language support for that (after all it's just a bunch of keywords). It needs some effort but not impossible. People can also design programming languages with their own special character sets. It's wild to see someone objecting writing software in ASCII because of diversity/cultural issues. Really wild!
The article's argument in a nutshell:

We need to break free from the tyranny of the characters on our keyboard, and express ourselves using characters not on our keyboard.

So I hope you see why that argument keeps failing.
Doesn't something like that already exist: Lenovo's Yoga Book C930? It had 2 screens, with one being an e-Ink keyboard. Very useful tech.
Like home made beer. Unless stuff at the store is really bad and/or super expensive. But in terms of gardening I'd bet on hydroponics.
Cosigned. Fried is not the same as fully cooked. This is important to me because my gut is just fine with fully cooked onions but ... well, let's just say "not" otherwise. Fully cooking onions to the proper transparency (with just the tiniest bit of color) is a 20-minute process, and actual caramelization takes twice that.

I suspect that the reason most cooks lie is that they're not the ones doing it. To them, cooked onions are an ingredient that a spouse or assistant put in a bowl for them while they were still deciding which homey anecdote to fill out their "recipe" with. Peeling, chopping, and basic preparation are for the little people.
The internet took like a year to take off since it became commercially available.

So there is absolutely no other good usecase for crypto and we should ban it completely?

I don’t think we should ban everything that has no valid use case. Maybe someone will come up with one eventually. For now, it’s all get rich quick all the time.
The authors do mention in their findings that:

"...While QUIC has been proven by different researchers to be more advantageous than TCP for MQTT traffic, our hypothesis was that further gains may be found through a pure H3 solution. The reasoning behind this hypothesis was rooted in QUIC’s original design intent and various optimizations specifically for carrying HTTP traffic. This turned out to be the case for performance, but posed a trade-off for resource consumption.

... Performance indicators were investigated in
addition to network and device level overhead.
MQTT-over-QUIC was found to put marginally less strain
over the network than H3, but H3 offered a key performance
savings of 1-RTT in the time to first data frame..."
I don't know why we keep reinventing this distribution model and failing at it, then trying again.

Bugfixing and identity matter.
You have eloquently elaborated on a truth I came to realize many years ago:

Cooking well (from a recipe) is the art of having enough experience to know what unwritten assumptions the recipe author has made.
> Fees of more than 50% for a delivery are just bonkers and unacceptable

Door dash is very ineffective since the delivery persons pick up one order per restaurant. There is no scale like an old good pizza place. There is no wonder it is expensive.

> HTTP/3 isn't simple! It's a huge pain in the ass! Why would anyone want to do this to themselves on embedded‽

Why would anyone want to do it on desktop? Let alone server-server APIs?

HTTP 2 and 3 are spec monstrosities, which currently, effectively don't work.

HTTP 2 is for example slower than HTTP 1.1 over modern TLS even on near perfect connections.

HTTP 3 seems to be even slower in real world use.

I strongly believe Google fudged its "real world trial data" to push W3C to adopt it.
They're synonymous, and crypto is the colloquial term.
What part is cost prohibitive? It really doesn’t have to be too expensive to have a modem like device that attaches fiber and a number of (10) gigabit lan ports and fast WiFi.

Its an amount of bandwidth that’s difficult to fill but that’ll change.
They also "bulk up" food products, for example introducing filler into meat products such as water and salt [1] such that they can sell a smaller amount of meat for the same price without the consumer noticing.

It sounds like your org has tolerance for expression. Understand it is just people expressing themselves (surprise, people like to express themselves). Understand that it’s possible it is the only form of intellectual expression they have in their life (or possibly ever had). It isn’t necessarily people trying to ‘get their way’.

You can test this hypothesis by bringing up a mild controversial topic that won’t get anyone fired. State your opinion, and if you see the same pattern of everyone chiming in, voila, you now know it’s just a bunch of people that like talking to each other.

There are worse problems in life believe it or not.
That is a fair point about divide-by-zero [1], but the very post I was replying to gave an example of where this compiler does say explicitly what happens in one case of what falls under undefined behavior in the C standards.

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.

[1] In reality, the hardware will do something, and deterministically in every case that I am aware of, when the divide operation is invoked with zero as the divisor. Computer division is not an exact implementation of mathematical division.

I don't know what you do for work, but I am working on a note-taking solution[1] that is built around a note-card format and a (somewhat unique) multi-parent hierarchy system, while also allowing bi-directional links as in Tiddly or Roam, which can provide for a lot of flexibility.

Full disclosure though: the way collaboration works is optimized to allow for very granular sharing of cards, which is great when you want to share here and there with a wide variety of people (some cards you want to share with friends, some with family, some with your co-workers, some with your clients, etc). But if your goal is to collaborate with co-workers on a shared knowledge base, there are other tools that are probably better suited which we point people towards if that is their use case, like Notion/Craft/etc. Our focus is individual use first and then trying to seamlessly blend collab into that experience.

With that said, we do have a few teams using the platform so YMMV.

The single biggest example: homelessness.

The City removed the camping ban in July 2019 allowing homeless people to camp everywhere - even at elementary schools - except in front of City Hall. Later that year, they started buying hotels to house people, paying 3x market rate (even during the pandemic), and as of last month had housed ~200 people in the year+ since purchasing the hotels.

When citizens finally voted to restore the ban in May, the City is choosing to not enforce it so they can "come up with a plan." Various budget sleuths estimate the City has spent ~$250M on the problem in the last five years but the City has fought audits to determine the actual number.
>Olive oil is good for many things, but not for frying things.

You've just discarded like half of Spanish cuisine... For instance the first thing you do in a paella involves frying (well, sautéing really) meat, vegetables and then very precisely paprika with olive oil. It's widely used to fry everything here, including potato omelettes and fish.

Of course it's good for frying things, there are cheaper and easier oils to cook with if you like them, but they make lousy substitutes for the dishes traditionally fried with olive oil.

Right. It's about a compiler with a GPL license but without a similar exception. I was making a comparison.

Must be partly due to the drastically changed minimum requirements. Would have been awkward to say Window 10.8364837 and earlier need this, but Windows 10.837492 and later need this. Support for Windows 10.8364837 will end in 2025.

I think Mumble as an OSS voice chat project has had its success and has brought some net positives to the ecosystem since its inception. But nowadays, especially since pandemic times, the focus of the technology has moved and newer systems are in place which bring very powerful possibilities to the audio/video conference field.

WebRTC has seen an incredible push and if you only wanted Mumble for its open-sourceness and its use of the Opus codec for low latency, you might be better off by joining a Jitsi room with your friends and enjoying the immense effort that the web browser already brings in matter of echo cancellation and other shenanigans related to conferencing apps, plus the better UI that these kind of projects offer for end users (Mumble's bad UI is a common topic).

On the other hand there is Discord, but it plays in a different league because it is closed-source, VC-backed, and uses some advanced technology like AI-based noise cancelling.
To be fair to the grandparent poster, who was downvoted, in the decentralized networking community there are protocols designed to be robust to different hardware setups, like over wifi or other ad hoc systems. Depending on tor from that perspective might be seen as restrictive.
Definitely! Dollar tree is the place to get things like dishes and cleaning supplies. You get the same bottle for $1 that is 1.88 at Walmart or whatever. I'll only buy things that the dollar store I KNOW are cheaper though, sometimes you'll think you're getting a deal and then the same product at Walmart is 90 cents.

Yup.

Shows like "good eats" are also super useful for cooking IMO. Treating cooking like the chemistry experiments it is gives you excellent results without a lot of the faff.

Didn't mean there aren't legitimate techniques, but rather it helps to know what those techniques are accomplishing so you know if you've messed up.

Onion browning is a good example. In most recipes I've dealt with, onions are browned as a near first step and then further cooked in later steps. That strongly suggested the author isn't going for "fully brown" onions and rather just browned onions. Why? Because those onions don't stop cooking just because they are added to additional ingredients.
IDK how is it in the US, but where I live, additional regulations are more of a burden than taxation per se, and compliance with new regulations is usually easier for established big players than for the corner bakers.
Sometimes when you come up with a tidbit that the entire world of experience contradicts, it's healthy to stop and think "wait, am I full of shit?" Of course, you may not be full of shit, but let's say the odds are you are.

What "real world data" you have to contradict Google's and basically everyone's personal experience?

Why would you say that PL research is in trouble?
Conferences like PLDI and more ones like LANGSEC are going strong and there are probably more out there.
UX issues aside, one plus for Mumble/Murmur is privacy. Should Discord some day be purchased by one of the big players, I would expect them to follow the path of Zoom and add voice transcription thus allowing them to not only save text chats forever, but also save everything that everyone says. Their user-base are already asking for it [1] One would have more control over this on a Murmur Mumble server. In my experience, people are more relaxed with things they say vs. things they type. There is the assumption that only the people visible in the channel are listening. It is only a matter of time before voice transcription is standard on all the large platforms and I am not confident that this data will be protected properly.

> just semantics

One plus two equals two, if by "plus" we mean "times".

It's just semantics! ... the semantics of the word "plus".
Properly caramelized onions freeze and thaw very well, since they are already pretty broken down and much of the moisture is gone.

Since the big factor is the 40-60 minutes on the stove, I make a large batch in several pans. The onions can be cooled a bit and then individual portions in an old ice cube tray and frozen.

Then I can just pop out an onion cube and microwave it until softened, anytime I'd like to add caramelized onions to something.
I'm also under the impression that mathematicians generally work much more deeply with a smaller set of variables, so you actually don't need to name that many individual concepts.

A typical program contains thousands and thousands of "named things", so you're naturally going to see a proliferation of names. That just doesn't seem to be that necessary in math once you're working in a particular context (e.g. statistics).
I feel like geo internet such as HughesNet would be both cheaper and better than what you describe. Geo is high latency but at least better bandwidth than 1.5Mbps

So says the guy with a gigantic stake in cryptocurrencies. Screw him for making my choice of technology a political statement or making technology simply an extension of a political view.

I think this says more about Andreessen than it does about technology. Andreessen is pushing cryptocurrencies and his motivation is clearly political.
I think they can use propaganda to ferment a greater fear yes. it is new and unknown.

Their propaganda around "terrorists" is wearing thin. Today people are massively less fearful of the "big bad terrorist" then they were 10 years ago. They are less accepting of the military story that some goat farmer in a dessert is a "threat to national security" that needs a response by multi billion dollar weapons platforms

So now they have two competing treks the classic external threat which was always other nations but is harder and harder to sell to the people these days so the external threat has to become VERY external

Then you have the growing propaganda around internal threats, aka "Domestic Extremism" however it is very hard military make the case the American People are their enemy. The FBI sure, other paramilitary "law enforcement" sure, but that actual official military.. that is a sticky wicket. Though I from the recent report by Glenn Greenwald it seems maybe they are going to try that as well...

There’s nothing immoral about ethnostates. Not every country needs to be a multiethnic democracy like the US. I agree certain human rights must be respected, but there’s nothing wrong with Israel being structured as a homeland for Jews. To assert otherwise is to elevate notions of non-discrimination above the right to self-determination. My parents’ generation fought a war with Pakistan to have a home for Bangladeshis. (The ethnic group is in the name of the country!) If there was any risk of Bangladeshis losing political control of the country, they’d be entirely within their rights to prevent that.
I am so unbelievably sick of hearing this from bitcoiners.

It just isn't true. At all. There is zero comparison to be made between crypto and the early Internet, its incredibly dishonest.
Even so, the libertarian right is a much more recent beast than the libertarian left. The latter predates the former by over 100years.
I agree with the claim that dollar stores are sometimes more expensive, but asserting the unit cost is higher is an over generalization.

One of the nice things about dollar stores, in my part of the world, is they don't play games with sale prices. Sale prices make it easy to cherry pick prices seen at other retail chains once or twice a year then claim they are cheaper. In many of those cases, the product is only cheaper per unit because they force you to buy the product in larger quantities (e.g. by taping or shrink wrapping multiple units together). That may be fine if it is a product where you can plan ahead, has a long shelf life, or is something you use in quantity. It is not so great when it increases waste since it is a "just in case" product or you won't be able to use it before it expires. If your aim is to reduce waste (or resources or money), you may be better off buying the product when or as it is needed. At any particular moment in time, the unit price at a dollar store may very well be lower than that of other retailers.
You raise some good points, but I think they're a bit too overreaching.

I started working with manual machine shop machines (mills/lathes/presses/all types of saws/water jets/lasers) over a decade ago, and I'm only in my early 20's now.

>There are aptitude tests just for the education because some people who are otherwise brilliant are absolute terrors, a dangers to themselves and others

This is true. Working as a student shop instructor in Uni, I've had to remove a fair amount of people/literally leave & shut down shop from stress/frustration after people repeatedly nearly lost fingers/limbs doing what they were told not to do multiple times - mainly on table saws. As to why these people are they way they are... I do not know.

>Trial and error works very differently when you focus enough pressure into carbide to cut steel like it was butter.

No instructor/supervisor should be letting newbies work with steel to begin with, except possibly very mild steel... we have things like 6061 T6 Al and even polymers for demonstration/early learning. It was a good bit until I was allowed to work with stainless steel on mills/lathes.

>You should watch the horriffic videos of people being turned into bloody messes on machine tools and THEN decide if this is something you want to try.

I grew up doing this, still do, and always recommend it to anybody who's about to start working with machine tools. I have yet to meet an instructor/shop supervisor who doesn't make it very, very clear how easily and instantly everything can maim and kill you. In the 21st century, if there are those who don't do this... that's just unfortunate.

In the end - mills, and especially lathes, are honestly highly predictable machines. It's quite hard for things to go wrong with them aside from tool crash/breaking, which you won't really be in a position to be hurt by. There are some machine tools that are inherently more dangerous - but - nothing comes close to how fucking dangerous a tablesaw is. I consider a tablesaw to be the most dangerous and unpredictable tool I use, as does the person I learned from who's been an industry/custom fab machinist for over 40 years. And tablesaws can be found everywhere, typically without much restriction, if any, to begin using.

The sawstop is cool, but I really fucking hate them for not releasing the patent to it for all to use.
