Half of my home office is setup for video recording.

The robotic projects are stacked on the shelves among the book. At some point I am going to setup my soldering station in my basement along with my tools.
I got the same text, and I’ve never had a prepaid phone. The exposure clearly goes beyond the credit applications T-mobile claims.
A habit I picked up due to frequent computer system reinstalls (intentional and no): learn to be resilient to system failures. Know how to setup your system on a whim, and learn to forego too much pointless configuration, learn how to deal with doing the same takes on different OSes/distros.

I practise the same with email (and other coords): make sure changing them is easy, and do it occasionally to test if you've thought it through. Compartmentalize by having a number of adresses. You'll learn how to combine being lazy with being resilient, instead of just lazy and complacent. One email address at a company which you cannot hold accountable should not and in fact is not your identity. Prove to yourself it isn't and in that process learn how to deal with moving your identity (since that is how email is used nowadays).
Yup, one friend who had a pre-internet sw biz with many different smallish products (think utilities) told me an interesting story.

He started out describing a proposed product and asking if people would be interested and buy it. "YES", no question they liked the idea and would pay money for it. So he went and built it. No takers, lots of "maybe later"s.

After a few rounds of that losing game, he started asking not what they wanted, but about specific pain points - 'What is most inconvenient about this?', 'does this task consume too much of your time?', 'what is the biggest time-waster?', etc.. When he listened and built products addressing the complaints, he'd make sales on the first call, even tho no one ever actually told him they were interested.

I'd suggest for OP to design a question list around things solved by the proposed product, and related work. Do not tell them that you are working on a product. Talk to prospects and see if those are true pain points - and try to get them to say they're just fine - avoid politeness & confirmation bias (i.e., you really don't want to fall for a few ppl being nice, agreeing that it's a problem, then building something they don't care about}.

So, if you try to convince them that there is no problem, and they insist that there are no workarounds, they've searched and it's a PITA that costs them money, then you are on to something.

Bucket Argument
Hang in there - I’m not sure the anxiety reduces, you just get used to it!

I came here to rant about the amount of nappies in landfill and the waste increase in adding electronics.

I was quite wrong.

I do think that reusables where possible offer huge reduction in waste generation, but this is borderline irrelevant in the context of adults.
You don't.

Which is why I said that you can't bridge this gap. This is the point where "polite discourse" to try and convince people ends. There's no conversation to be had to convince someone to get the vaccine if they're in this line of thought, you can only mandate it with some sort of penalty in place for non-compliance. They are aware that there is a risk in existing unvaccinated, but they see a larger risk elsewhere in the potential side effects.

How do you convince someone something will or won't happen in the future when it represents an idea completely contrary to their worldview? I don't know, and if I did I'd be too rich to post on HN.
I've seen https://opendocs.com/ recommended for this sort of thing.

Honestly, I know "googleit" is kind of a flippant answer, but that usually works better for me for this sort of thing than hunting around specific sites.
OCaml is really good at building in parallel. So even without that many files it can still compile using 32 threads.

Making so that a project with 20k loc is less than a second in debug mode. And recompile time in native(debug) mode is almost 100% linking time.

For bytecode you can have wild rebuild times, in the milisecond range.
We didn’t stop global cooling, we learned that it didn’t exist. We learned that the conjecture was wrong.

One thing to remember is that all ICE cars need a gas station but not all EVs need a public charging station. I only use a charging station for long road trips the rest of my charging is done at home.

> Why is American warfare so expensive?

The real question isn't why is it expensive, but why so ineffective?
No, definitely not joking. As https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/lockdown-effectiveness... notes, there is essentially zero correlation between any European government's policy at one time or another. They all adjusted to what was happening with COVID, no matter what other political alignments those in power had. (Yes, even Sweden.)

By contrast in the USA, and ONLY in the USA, COVID became a partisan issue so state policies didn't change much.
I think the answer is yes.

Most of the people setting the remote work/in office policies seemed to be thinking that vaccines offered a path back to normalcy. Delta seems to have blown that idea out of the water.

It is possible that in the endemic covid world, there always remains a significant health risk due to breakthrough cases, especially for folks who are older or have comorbidities. Given that, it seems employers may face difficulty mandating people to work in person.

It's been a while since I've written a Python extension, but my understanding is that every single use of `PY_INCREF` or `PY_DECREF` (or any transitive use) hits the GIL, since those reference counts need to be locked.

Almost every Python extension that I've ever read is littered with those calls (macros?), which I'd expect adds up to a decent amount of contention.
“Doctor doctor, it hurts when I hit myself with a hammer”

“Why don’t you stop hitting yourself with a hammer?”

“Hammers exist to be massage tools. It’s the manufaturer’s fault, they should make them softer. I know lots of people are disagreeing with me, but they’re just a vocal minority, the silent majority want soft hammers!”

Excellent point, arguably NOT wearing a mask takes a lot more conviction than wearing it.

if you believe wearing a mask benefits you then there is no need for "conviction", it is just a belief and the person is trying to maximize their own benefit
how one individual looks means literally nothing. do they have research / guarantees on large samples for the individual products / delivery methods, etc, is what matters.

Like others have said, I would like to know products OP actually does recommend, as they seem to have proper reasoning
I'm sure some that are good-enough and not loud exist, and some classrooms probably have them, but I can also say for a fact that some schools that have managed to get ahold of good purifiers for every classroom haven't also managed to get ahold of quiet good purifiers, which is why those schools only run them part of the time. It's another hurdle to the solution of "just filter the air", which isn't per se a bad idea—but, whoever's procuring them must think to look into the noise when choosing which to buy, must have the budget to buy quiet ones that move as much air as appropriately-effective louder models (I assume there's a cost premium for "quiet and also effective"), and if someone's already bought purifiers and they're too loud, you're out of luck on getting anyone to pony up cash for a second set of (maybe even more expensive) purifiers.
> It will feel strange for a while and then it will not. It will be normal.

Except for the people who, in addition to those who die year after year after year from flu, now die will die from Covid.

For them it won't feel normal at all.
I like Amazon and online shopping; won't ditch any time soon and don't think it's important for people to do so.

The local businesses I was worried about going under were restaurants and others in the food/service industry(would lump experience in there as well; the zoo, botanical garden, museums, and etc).
Is avoiding a major adversary/predatory channel considered price-fixing?
The simple explanation here is that 200 billion per year over 20 years is unquestionably a lot of money, but not large enough relative to overall US government spending ($7T per year) to perturb anything all that much.

Okay, but that's true of everything. The spirit of the question is, why is the web especially egregious?
Reducing his analysis to MMT, as some here are doing, suggests that you don't know about Tooze's area of study. His magnum opus, probably one of the greatest books in modern economic history, looked at precisely these questions of govt spending being taken to the limit (in Nazi Germany).

But, a bit like those who specialise in Japanese economic history, I feel like it is pretty misleading to base your argument for MMT on purely wartime measures: not only is the level of govt spending changing but the allocation of resources is changing...that is very different to a non-wartime economy where there aren't huge supply changes.

After WW2, there was huge economic dislocation and inflation. But it seems very churlish to look at WW2 and say: there are no limits to spending. When: most economies in the world effectively shut down, trade shut down, there was massive destruction of supply, massive financial repression...financial repression in the US, by far the economy that was least negatively impacted, didn't end in truth until the mid-60s. The UK economy didn't recover in full until the 90s.

Crowding out does occur. It isn't unusual. There is ample evidence of it occurring. It is dangerous to point out too that "there is no limit" and then fail to mention that your only sources for this claim are dictatorships or countries at war...there is a reason for this (it is often politically unpalatable to take control over production such that crowding out is prevented).

The reason why there was no crowding out, to be blunt, is that these wars weren't very expensive. They provide no evidence to support the claim that: that we are nowhere close to the real limit on spending. Almost every industry right now has shortages, and the economy isn't close to full capacity because the labour participation rate is low? Rakakakakaka.

I like Tooze but this is very weak stuff (it is worth pointing out though, that the last part of the previous paragraph is essentially the Fed's position...so we will likely find out who is right).

It is also interesting that he didn't mention the 1920s more either...this is the ultimate "proof" that austerity makes no sense. But it is also worth pointing out that after WW1, lots of countries had the same issues after WW2. There were huge price changes in 1920 that basically felled the UK economy until the 90s (WW2 and US actions after were just the final nail in the coffin), it is quite foolish to suppose that the UK economy would have just magically recovered if the govt started spending...it was a supply-side issue, not a problem with demand (the US was the counter-point to this, the US started the decade with a relatively blank slate and this decade turned the US into a financial power competing with the UK...the UK was legacy, stuck with all the old industries that were shrinking, and struggled to retool after the war ended)...but yeah, usually every economic narrative that takes the Keynesian approach will mention 1920s UK...it is a classic (although misleading) example.
I think you can create a really good experience on Twitter by being very careful about who you follow.

I cleaned up my follow list to only follow those who I would want to see something from everyday.

This even meant dropping some friends who would only retweet politics.
I really hate that about Reddit. I liked browsing discussions on my phone occasionally but the web page kept nagging me into using the app instead. So finally I installed it. But now when googling for information and finding Reddit boards about my topic of interest clicking on „use app“ does not open Reddit app but instead directs me to the stupid App store. Useless! But maybe it’s Apple‘s fault here?
If you have to go to a store, wouldn’t a government issued ID be sufficient and less invasive?

So, a guy who ticks all the boxes for being a white nationalist in his statements, on the record, needed to have a bunch of journalists conspire to paint him in a bad light?

You think it’s more likely that the journalists are making shit up on the record, than this guy just being an asshole?

Funny that when you hang out with Nazis, defend Nazis being able to congregate to discuss Nazi things in a safe for Nazis kinda space… that people might assume you’re a Nazi.
Don't want the vaccine? Grow your own food. Going to the supermarket is optional.

Don't want the vaccine? Relocate to one of the designated vaccine-free zones.

Don't want the vaccine? Barter with others in the vaccine-free zones, since banking is only really necessary when participating in society.

Don't want the vaccine? Relocate to one of the vaccine-free camps since access elsewhere requires the vaccine. We can't have these underground bartering exchanges emerging.

Don't mind any of the fear-mongering, people, we're just trying to keep the community alive and out of the hospital. It's for everyone's safety and well-being. These undesirables had every chance to get antibodies from the sources we've deemed valid.
definitely, alot of the "algorithms" in leetcode practice look deceptively simple on the surface, but deep down, there are lots of edge cases and are good practice to think deeply about them

on the otherhand, they can also encourage messy and hard to maintain code, or super efficient implementation can be brittle which you dont want in production unless there is a really really good reason...

if "competitive coding" also judge on other criteria such as clarity, readability and maintainability, in addition to efficiency and "correctness" that would be great imo
We should have the option to require sim swaps only be done at a physical store with state issued ID. But that will never happen.
Despite that fact...the seemingly bought and paid for WHO were still claiming in late January that there was no person to person transmission. That stopped the US from doing any sort of checks of any sort and life went on...all the while the virus was spreading all over the country.

That's a percentage of GDP, but the actual military budget per year hasn't been decreasing like that. It's increased every year since 2003. See this table: Military Spending History [1]

There's no substitute for doing the legwork. You gotta go find people where they are and talk to them.
I disagree with this resume advice actually. He for example removes that he was in the military sniper team and won best shot, but keeps high school education? I would totally say the opposite, keep the cool the side thing that's a conversation starter, but remove irrelevant educational experience.

Including the number of stars on the github projects they worked on seems so.... narcissistic? Promotional? Idk but its distasteful and I would probably throw out the resume at that.

I really think all of the resume changes, other than the incoming intern at bytedance were extremely bad changes. It went from someone who is smart, with a breadth of experiences, to someone that is obsessed with social media likes.
I can confirm about the Chinese food in Melbourne. It's better than everywhere in the US. Which makes sense given the population there.
Just guessing that they meant that most of the recent "skirmishes" have been in areas ripe with oil when similar if not worse things are occurring in other countries that we do not respond with military action.
Or in the case of Iraq and the war on terror, wealth transfer from everything and everybody in that region back to the private owners of the military-industrial apparatus.

I built a $100M SaaS. Do you want this more than anything? Are you willing to do do whatever it takes and go 1-2 years without a salary?

If you answered yes then you just need to leap and iterate on the user feedback loop.

My first mvp compared to what I'm selling today is completely different. I pivoted 20 times at least.

So the name of the game is to just start building and not be overly concerned with making mistakes. Find what doesn't work and move toward what does. Mimic nature by constant evolution.
That's interesting. I seem to kill small mosquitoes when they bite me. I've observed it multiple times. It lands, it bites and it becomes completely unresponsive. Because I was drunk at the time, I chalked it up to blood alcohol content which will yield quite a bit of alcohol if a mosquito drinks so-and-so many times its own body weight (I did some basic math) but since then it also happened when I was sober.
Presumably the people who can’t (or won’t) do the labor are already buying parts from their shop though, right?

I doubt many people are buying parts on Amazon (or previously from Nashbar) and asking a bike shop to install them.
They understand. They just don't care.

This has been one long game of Secret Hitler and we're now starting to see who the fascists are.
At this point we almost know too much about the spread of this disease. Never in history have we tested so much for one thing. Never in history have we really worried about asymptomatic cases of anything. This is probably the first time in history that the whole world has the same scary thing as their front-page news.

It's going to be really, really hard for us to shake the mindset that thousands of covid cases === danger. I am sure there are many thousands of cases of many other diseases in my community right now that I will never know or care about.

I'm not trying to detract at all from the seriousness of the pandemic, just saying that going forward we'll have to pay a lot less attention to covid-19 if we want to have mental space for anything else.
I've biked THOUSANDS of miles in the last years - growing up in Tahoe biking all through the 80s... Heck this month alone I have biked nearly 500 miles (26 miles a day, 29" mtn....

Anyway, Have you dealt with a lot of "local bike shops" -- I have dealt with too many to count.

Lets look at a few pros and cons of "local bike shops":

Pro:

-- Support a local business

-- Go in and talk to an actual person? (maybe)

Cons:

-- Many gear-head bike shop employees (specifically the mechanics) have a BOFH attitude, are gruff, rarely have time to talk - generally have an attitude.

-- Many of the local shops are now pushing bikes that are fucking $10,000 -- I looked at a bike in Mikes Bikes just last week - and it was $15,000

-- Gear selection is limited to a couple brands, and prices are no better than amazon

-- Bike shops aren't like starbucks - they are fucking far apart.

-- I have biked DAILY for over a decade. I have gotten HUNDREDS of flats - and I always carry 2 tubes with me (yes, I want to go tubeless, just havent done so yet) - getting tubes off amazon is ideal. Having to have to drive very far to go buy a tube is a non-starter

Local bike shops currently have shitty inventories because of the supply shortage from china - and to have to again drive to the bike shop to find out that their inventory is low, that the lowest end bike is $5,000 and they want to sell every garment for >$50 with stupid logos and printing all over them to show that you, the customer-turned-billboard are "serious about your biking"

-- Having to stand near too many weekend-road-warriors who really don't need anything but want to instead show you how much money they threw into their entire kit....

-- Having to deal with upsell in certain cases

-- Having to get blank stares with questions about anything outside of what the store actually sells and too many answers of "gee, I don't know"

---

Yeah, While I hate Amazon's monopoly as much as everyone -- this does NOT make all local bike shops even.

Yes, I have met some awesome ones - not not enough to where every bike shop nearest me is a good one in every single city I have loved in all over the greater bay area all the way up to Tahoe City...
It seems like many of the code examples are incorrect in the pdf for example, figure 6b vs the file in the actual dataset experiments_dow/cwe-787/codeql-eg-PotentialBufferOverflow/Copilot -- lines are truncated at the first "%" char or something along those lines.

the fourth picture down (the TPS Chart) probably has every current relevant name on it, from a current size and momentum perspective. binance smart chain, cardano, solana, avalanche, polkadot are all locked in a battle to dethrone ethereum. Now its a question of what wins, the incumbent, the fastest mover, the most advanced tech, the shiniest, the most colorful, the coolest name, the loudest. If/when multiple survive in the long run, which niche do they each occupy.

> Historically defense spending has been decreasing as a % of GDP. It's as low as ~3.5% now, near the lowest it has ever been.

The lowest peak year of total defense (not just war) spending during a war appears to be 1.5% of GDP in 1899 during the Spanish-American War [0]. 3.5% of GDP is nowhere near the lowest total defense spending has ever been.
