I think semicolons may help. Will have to see when I read the next one. By the way, I didn’t mean my comment to be mean-spirited.
I wasn't expecting to see this here...
How about external libs?
Together with wealth inequality we are seeing environmental inequality.

Perhaps history will remember the "First Environmental War" after WW1 and WW2.
Congratulations. Really enjoy your blog as well, I think I've read every post about programming languages. I've cited them a lot too.
Depends. If your schedule has a lot of flux (meetings being cancelled ad-hoc, etc.) then it can be useful to accept everything but notify the host that you probably won't be there unless something changes. That way if something does change you at least still have it on your calendar (I use Outlook, maybe other calendar/meeting apps handle this better).
I don’t think there is a financial incentive to clean up the internet.

Too much money to be paid with shady practices that no one in power wants to do it.
For what it’s worth, you cannot really compare non-total return indexes with one another either. You’re assuming they have had the same dividend yield during the comparison period, which isn’t a reasonable assumption. In reality, only total return indexes can be relied on for accurate information.
Right. The question was parent link on your comment or parent link on parent link of your comment.

The counter argument is “if you can’t make a return on investment in innovation, you tend to get less investment in innovation”. Whether that return comes from monopoly in corporate behavior or legal protection from patents, somehow you want to allow some (but limited) profit to be made from investments in R&D.
So I just steal your ID. You still need a PIN and/or biometric authentication.
It's print-on-demand so selling out should be hard, but I welcome any attempts to overwhelm the system. :)
In times of plenty, where money flows and pools drives stock prices.

We've been in a time of plenty for a historically abnormally long period.

You have to realize there are a LOT of people on here who fail to launch successful startups. Lots of projecting and sour grapes.
The first hit he gets is a website plastered with ads. Boosting sales of ads is still a plausibele explanation.

"But I bet it has something to do with the fact that all of the bikes they review are sold on Amazon and that every link uses an Amazon affiliate tag. It goes quite well with the dozen or so ads plastered across the site (some of which are autoplaying videos with sound)."
I read the free web version of this; it's probably my favorite tech book ever. If you want to learn the basics of implementing a programming language, I can't recommend this enough.
I think I see what you mean - so your production site is hosted entirely from a static CDN, but you have an intelligent build process running somewhere that can re-generate and then re-publish just a subset of the files when the underlying data changes?
Same. My wife gave birth last year at 26 weeks. 3 months in the NICU was over $1MM and that doesn't even include the delivery. We were extremely fortunate that my wife works and has good insurance because I had just been laid off a couple weeks prior. We were big proponents of a medicare-for-all-like system before all that, and even bigger proponents now.
Pumping money into the market in general has the same effect.

Especially if chosen inflation measures conveniently exclude capital areas money would accumulate (stocks & property).
I'm a native Russian speaker but have forgotten most of it since I moved away from there. One thing that makes listening so much easier than speaking is that I can often infer context of a sentence based on just a few words, even if I don't know what the other 5 are. With speaking, I might know what I want to say but I get stuck on the one or two words that I just don't have in my vocabulary, and it crushes my ability to communicate(in Russian).

Obviously, everyone's mileage varies, this is just an anecdote :)
> [...] the scientific method teaching things that can be found to be objectively true [...]

The scientific method never proves things are objectively true. Instead, you subjectively fail to show your hypothesis is false, so you gain more justification in believing it. I wish more people understood this and quit trying to make a religion out of science.

Proof is for mathematics.

May be a common question you might have used to - When most of the editors already support collaborations For eg. VSCode (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/), IntelliJ(https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/code-with-me.html#work_h...), why someone will use LiveBlocks?
This is an awesome start, but needs formalizing! She/He’s really onto something here. Someone skilled here needs to pick this up.
I use a modified version of this here [1]. I do an ETL into Sqlite, but then pre-generate a bunch of api responses into JSON files that are then baked into an S3 site [2]. Its really nice, but its not a silver bullet. There are certain interaction patterns this precludes, and wouldn't be good for highly dynamic data.

FSD (Full Self Driving) feature in Tesla Cars is fraudulently advertised and has put many Tesla customers lives at great risk and has also killed them too. [0]

Do you have a reference to a list which does that calculation?

All the other states at the to of that carbon per capita list also seem like they're highly dependent on imports, possibly more than the US, so I'd expect that many of the factors you describe also apply to them. The gulf states also have to get their phones from abroad.
I only know this because I clicked on some more stuff after looking at that but the Fukushima tsunami caused a fair amount of damage in the Santa Cruz, CA harbor both to docks and boats. Apparently the waves can get magnified when they go into a narrow channel or harbor. Another thing I only learned today reading the comments of that video is that tsunami literally means harbor wave in Japanese.

Airpie: Slack Airtable Data Sync
What a busy month. We had some code lazing around in our repo from an old pivot. So we thought we should polish it up and launch it as a micro-SaaS.

Check out airpie.kin.so

Why pay for Slack premium when you can Airpie?

1 install Airpie Slack app.

2 grab a API token from Airtable

3 set up workflows to sync data from multiple channels to multiple tables...

Simple. Easy. Without the price tag of Slack Premium.

Ping me if you want to test it.

The old stuff is still around because it works.

New fancy integration, digital signatures, etc are still protecting a process that’s unreliable fundamentally. It’s all anchored to your birth certificate, and in the US that’s controlled by thousands of jurisdictions with varying competence.

The most secure scenarios (cleared employees), tie your credentials to biometrics, and vet your origin as a control for fraud. Everything else increases the risk of fraud as a trade off for convenience or privacy. (Your cellphone carrier doesn’t need to vet where you went to elementary school)
The CDC limits CT to 28 for vaccinated samples when counting breakthrough cases.

Thank /r/WSB for that. No one can short dog companies anymore for fear of being short squeezed.
Seems like textbook objectification
It's not that it might be a problem - it is a real-world accessibility problem for people who use screenreaders.

Should the software be able to detect context? Sure. But that's not where we are today and to withhold content from people because their software hasn't gotten that far just seems wrong.

It's an interesting exercise in seeing what we can do with various Unicode characters, for sure. The 'disclaimers' presented could be worded a bit more strongly, as in "This will as of 2021 cause problems for people using screenreaders, so it's not recommended to use it."
Are these the same markets? The stock market between investors and companies could be a voting machine while the “stuff” market between customers and companies could be a weighing machine. Then it would be a difference of which market rather than which timescale, potentially allowing the investor market to prop up companies failing in the stuff market for long periods due to nothing more than investor popularity.
Well, it's really up to you but let me put it this way ...

In order to give you a zpool of your own we need to give you a full blown VM (bhyve) with resource guarantees and your own IP address, etc.

So there is a 1TB minimum and no discounts.

Alternatively, if you just get a plain old rsync.net account the minimum account size is much smaller and if you're an expert and don't need any (borg specific) support there is a discounted plan[1].

I can't get excited about it. I know it's an uncommon opinion but there's so much missing it can't be a monograph/treatise.
The best quote in here is the gal who bemoans the death of "office culture." It can't die soon enough!

The remote work revolution is the best thing to come out of Covid. I embraced this lifestyle 20 years ago when I started a web design business. Back then, I had to explain to customers that, no, I wasn't going to come to a meeting at their office and discuss the website with four people because none of that had anything to do with actually making the website. Instead, I would just do the work at my house and send them screenshots for approval or, even better, let them visit the site in progress and often make changes while they were on the phone.

Without this remote work concept, I would never have been able to start my own company. All I had was a computer a friend gave me and a $49 paperboard desk from Wal-Mart. My Ethernet cables ran on top of the carpet since Wi-Fi hadn't been invented. I also refused to do proposals or bids, instead just offering clear examples of my work and pricing.

Up until Covid, only freelancers could get away with that. I hope it becomes the norm for everybody who can do it. While there are some extra challenges in working at home (as the world has discovered lately), they are much better than the baggage of dealing with the office and the "office culture."
And even within the EU I’d still wager that there are many different systems in different countries. Almost like it’s a block of diverse individual nations and not just a single entity that you can make lazy comparisons with.

All landscapes are temporary. The earth changes.

What is a "long time"? Is it one human lifetime? The time period in which these blocks will be a blight is a whole lot longer than the time period where they make a nice landscape, it's just that the nice landscape part comes first. Should we do anything we want assuming that what happens after we're dead is irrelevant?
Well you admit yourself in your 5th and 6th points that I'm right. I chatted as soon as yesterday with someone studying Vietnamese dictionaries written in kanbun and nôm, so indeed that person need to know a lot of kanji. That's not representative of the whole society, but you can't rule out the existence of those people. It's also telling that the biggest dictionary of Chinese characters is the Daikanwa Jiten, compiled by a Japanese.
The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Thanks (to you and others). A post elsewhere in the comments pointed out that removing `ads` from the url works - which is the same for me. For the record, I'm using AdGuard in Safari, with DNS from AdGuard Home on a Raspberry Pi with upstream DNS set to NextDNS. I'm very happy with this setup, can't remember the last time an ad or tracker slipped through.
My first thought when hearing of the company was the J. T. Marlin "brokerage" from the movie Boiler Room. And for those viewers that didn't get the joke, the movie helpfully provides a scene where other brokers in a bar make fun of the uncanny resemblance to "J. P. Morgan".

Bonus point for the ethical similarities between J. T. Marlin and Nikola.
Violence has been coming from both alt-right and alt-left groups. There is a valid case for countering violent extremism in general, but focusing solely on one side of it is quite unproductive.
Thanks for the kind words :)

From what I understand from Replicache, it focuses only on conflicts resolution with CRDTs, and it does not come with a web socket infrastructure nor a hosted backend. You need to have your own servers or use external services to have live cursors. (https://doc.replicache.dev/guide/poke)

At Liveblocks, we want to bundle all that together because we believe that being tightly integrated is necessary to provide a great experience.

For example, if you implement an "undo"/"redo" feature on a collaborative design tool (like Figma), the selection of a user (volatile state) should be in sync with the document state (persisted state).

Some people might prefer managing their own backend infrastructure, but we want to provide it because we know how difficult it might be to scale and load balance web sockets rooms. We want to help companies focus on their core product and not spend too much time working on the multiplayer infrastructure and algorithms.
Reminds me of a line from a book I read on perfumery: "The last ingredient in any perfume is your skin." A perfume will take on a different twist after being applied to one person or another.

In older times, when daily showering/hygiene wasn't super widespread, perfumes were designed to complement your natural aroma instead of covering it up. We call those natural body odors "animalic" scents. These days, we add in those types of scent into the perfume itself.
I love seeing posts like this. The best way to understand things is to go back to basics. When you understand the fundamentals, all the "crazy sophisticated" stuff becomes a lot easier to reason about and internalize.
I would also recommend voicing your concerns privately with the meeting host (before the meeting). Publicly asserting some meeting isn't necessary could feel like an attack on the meeting host. Give the host an opportunity to be the "hero" who improves or cancels the meeting. You can get the outcome you wanted without looking like a jerk.
Collective guilt is frequently a chief rationale behind mass killings. That includes six million dead in the Holocaust, three million in Kampuchea, another three million in the Holodomor, estimates of up to sixty million in China's Great Leap Forward. Unfortunately the list goes on and on. I think this makes a good argument that collective guilt is possibly the most evil, unjust concept humanity has ever invented. Playing with fire doesn't describe it, it's more like playing with a supercritical lump of plutonium.
Not biodegradable, no, but it does have this pesky vulnerability to gasoline and other solvents, which turn it into napalm. Thanks to the extremely low density, a little bit of liquid can dissolve a whole bunch of foam. So long as it's well-sealed, there's no problem, but I'm a little nervous when I see it being used to construct highway onramps and the like.
I'm more interested in finding a cross platform like magento.

That's a great article. Well, not great. Terrible. But a very interesting read.
They did it then, and are doing it now.
For those who want to know: Article describes how, today, government officials are storing smell samples of people, just in case. Just as the Stasi did in East Germany.
Thanks.
Neat post, but I was confused about how they said they can't use pandoc, but they never explained in the post how they convert the markdown portion of their files to HTML.

Then I read their makefile on github and they're still using pandoc...

The other poster is right. The CPU and GPU are just two execution resources available to the programmer, no different than spinning up a new pthread_create (well... a bit more complicated but you get the gist).

Even in video games, where GPUs do graphics and CPUs do physics, the lines have been blurred with TressFX (hair physics on GPU instead of CPU) or PhysX (collision physics done on GPU instead of CPU).

GPUs are general purpose computers now. You can program them to do whatever you want. So when the programmer is writing code, it pays to experiment a little: maybe run the code on the GPU... see if the GPU really is slower or faster. You might be surprised.

Ditto on the reverse: maybe some bit of GPU code would be better run on the CPU.

--------

This guess-and-check, program-and-profile methodology is the same as any other high-performance code people write. You throw away assumptions and just test the heck out of all your ideas, because you're surprised far more often than not in this field.

As such, having the ability to quickly move code from GPU-side to CPU-side (and vice versa) for these tests is extremely beneficial. You don't really know which device will run your code faster until you actually test it. (Though your instincts get better the more experience you gain)
Sounds incompetent to me.
I really like the hand-drawn diagrams in the sample PDF! Are the actually hand-drawn or stylized SVG?
Wow no one's going to call out the azzhat for racist comments "orientilism".....WTF??

Bunch of keyboard warriors standing up for human rights once again stand silent while another "tech bro" spews toxic ideology.

Not surprised how many of you stay silent when you witness this stuff in person. Let's all acknowledge your not part of the solution, if you hear or see people acting racist and you stand by and do nothing. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Fuck is wrong with you all, if you see a fire do you stand back and watch it burn everything you love to the ground?

But yeah go ahead dead this conversation it's to politically correct for you azzhatz to give two shites about.

Nah, most of my searches still start at DuckDuckGo since I haven’t fully gotten back in the habit of putting the search redirection keyword back in yet.

If it’s fine for you for most things, great, but based off very recent and nearly daily data on my end, that is not my experience at all.

I do agree about Google getting worse though. There isn’t a search engine today that can even hold a candle to Google from over 10 years ago including Google itself. Unfortunately, the closest thing is still Google.
Air Force Research Lab Says Force Fields Are “On the Horizon”
Interesting. Looks like you're right. I guess they changed their mind on depreciation. Six years ago at Netflix we had to move all of our SimpleDB domains to DynamoDB because they told us they were shutting down SDB. They also removed it from the console. But apparently you can still use it from the command line.

So yeah, you're right, it's still there.
Thanks for the detailed response!

Although it's a chronic disease, it doesn't require monthly treatment or anything of that nature. So the $17k is in addition to what I'd pay per year out of my salary, is that correct?

The story of your friend's kid is a good reminder that cost doesn't always equal price.

Thanks for the kind words. We do hope to find as much joy and fulfillment in the next adventure!
What exactly do you disagree with? Do you think that a diabetic or pregnant person would fare better with COVID than with the vaccine?
> I'm double-booked for meetings all day, so I'm constantly making judgment calls about which one (or neither) is more important. It's not a big deal, and you don't need an app for it.

It seems like your job is more meeting-centric than the average engineering job. I'd hate to juggle meetings daily instead of working on the same problem for hours uninterrupted.
Finally, enforcement of lockdowns and soon, enforcement of vaccines....alternatively, exclusion of non vaccinated.

This has to happen, to do otherwise is negligence that results in death.
True. Because rational doesn't mean logical, ethical or moral.

It merely means that given a certain set of axioms, heuristics and circumstances, it arrives at the same or nearly similar results.

The law is rational in this sense but not always logical or moral.

The one things with markets today is, thanks to QE, they are NO LONGER value/price seeking system at all. The proof of this is the cross correlation across all asset and instrument classes hovering around 80%-90%. That's NOT what should be happening.
It looks like .38SP!
It's definitely intentional. The PDFs aren't searchable, either unless they've been OCR'd, which keeps their contents from being surfaced even in that website's own search.

I was looking for Whataburger's ingredients the other day and got sent to a PDF. The link says Nutritional Information & Ingredients. Does the PDF have ingredients? No. You're just SOL.
