Wix is an interesting choice. I remember during the recent feud between Matt Mullenweg (Wordpress founder) and Avishai Abrahami (Wix CEO), Matt said this:

"They are so insecure that they are also the only website creator I’m aware of that doesn’t allow you to export your content, so they’re like a roach motel where you can check in but never check out."

So I guess there's probably demand for a nice export tool there.
>They started to remove rent control in the early 50s

Your article says that it shifted from federal to state control in the 1950s, not that it was removed.

Realistically they werent properly weakened until the 1970s.
I brought up nuclear because I felt that your original comment above was overly optimistic about what is possible with renewables.

People bring up nuclear because it’s the only high density low carbon energy source we have. Splitting atoms produces orders of magnitude more energy than gathering sunlight. Our current reactor designs are incredibly inefficient. The ceiling of what is possible with nuclear is much higher.

If you want to preserve the environment higher power density typically means less impact.

We’ve gone from burning wood, to coal, to petroleum, to nuclear, and then took a huge step backwards on nuclear because of Cold War fears and Chernobyl. Renewables are great but nuclear is the only high power density option that can keep up with our insatiable demand for more energy in a way that doesn’t require converting vast swaths of land into wind and solar farms.

If you think that wind turbines and solar farms don’t have a negative impact on the environment you haven’t been paying attention.

Wind farms impact on insect populations for example is another new area of research and it doesn’t look very good.

15x material throughput means you have to mine/produce/transport/refine/smelt/forge 15x more materials, which means more environmental impacts for the lifecycle of those materials.

A single ACR-1000 reactor can produce more output than the 14000 acre Bhadla Solar Park in India for example, and it will last 4-5x longer.
I've got a few questions.

1) What OS/IDE combination do you use?

2) Is there any reason you've not switched to other languages that are most commonly found in non-windows environments?

3) How is the tooling around .NET diagnostics and memory profiling on the OS you use?

Yes this is true but many things that tech does are generic tools. It is just that certain companies and people choose to weaponize them.
This is where electronic notebooks really shined. No longer in the lab, but many experiments are repeats with slight tweaks to the procedure. Rather that rewriting everything out we’d often just write “same procedure as XXX-YYY with the following changes”.

It always felt much cleaner to just copy-paste an experiment and directly edit the changes.

Plus being able to type versus write meant I put way more detail down and could easily attach data.

It should be noted too that the US patent law changed from first-to-invent to first-to-file in 2013 (when this document was written). The importance of lab notebooks in defending a patent becomes much less important after that. I know defending a invention was a HUGE part of keeping a good notebook.

I think it's because people draw the wrong conclusions. Sure, if your body was stuck fighting COVID19 for two weeks and you then survived (i.e. excluding those pesky 700k Americans who didn't make it), then you are better prepared than if your body was stuck "fighting" COVID19 vaccine for half a day (of sleepiness or at most mild fever).

The PROBLEM is that people then say "oh well then to protect myself better against COVID19 what I should do is get infected with COVID19, rather than get vaccinated". I have NO IDEA why so many people are jumping to that conclusion.. but oh well..
That’s exactly what Terry advices against. Not because you owe the company or anyone else that, but it’s possible you might regret not doing so yourself. My advisor described it as “being too smart for your own good.”

Did the observation that "hey, a lot of our applicants can't even do anything" become less true?
We've read the horror stories about Amazon (shitty products, misleading pic, etc), I wonder if a new concept for department stores can "solve" this problem by having the ability to look at the products/for the customer to go somewhere and talk to the manager in case they get a lemon.

In Germany, I know electronic stores like Saturn or Mediamarkt already have the same prices in store as their website, to somewhat reduce the bleeding of their brick and mortar.
I've dabbled with Phoenix 1.6-dev (after seeing it in action and being mindblown in the livebook code), and think the new HEEX components are great.

Building a LiveView app out of components, and sending messages back to the server and re-rendering, feels a lot like building a react app! This is a real intuitive and easy to use flow. (I remember when react came on the scene and its "one way dataflow" was so groundbreaking to me.) That said, a react app where every state update is a round-trip to the server is probably not ideal. I know that there's the PETAL stack for this sort of thing. I guess my question is: with so much functionality available in pure Elixir/LiveView, what's your decision process when embarking on a new app about when to try to get by with just that, vs bringing in react or a full SPA frontend and simple API backend?

Separate question: what's the best dev environment and tooling for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView these days? My VSCode setup is pretty great for React, particularly with format-on-save nesting and indenting my JSX properly. I miss that when working in (h)eex templates.
Water and graphite are strong diamagnetics that repel magnetic field. This is why that frog, or anything with high water or carbon content, levitates in a strong magnetic field. I'm sure the effect can be improved with a dynamic field (something like slow em radiation that would continuously bump the object up).
I use org-journal[0] in Emacs as a very efficient lab notebook. I use the Doom[1] configuration, so this is my workflow:

- launch Emacs

- type `Space n j j`, which opens a journal file customized the way I like it*, inserts a date heading and timestamp, and sets me in insert mode

- type my timestamped notes

I can do this from any buffer in Emacs, so it's really convenient to stop in the middle of something, jot down a note, and then go right back to what I was doing. I develop iOS/macOS software right now, so the switch to Emacs from Xcode is a little more friction than I used to have, but it's so useful I don't mind it at all.

there is a point to be made here. in Israel for example, a verified blood test with high antibody levels gets you a "vaccine passport", without the need of a vaccine

it only lasts a limited time though, and these measured antibodies fade within months. so people that have been sick are still encouraged to get at least 1 shot of Pfizer

It's important to add antibody levels for people that have been sick are very different. I know many sick people who got under 150 (the stated minimum to get the passport) a few weeks after being sick. With 2 shots of Pfizer I got over 12,000 units. So it's not even the same ballpark. At least for the measurable antibody tests we currently have

I suspect, if the government offered a monitored blood test to prove antibodies, the "but muh mandates" crowd will still be just as angry
Co-founder here. There are companies that sell software to prevent bots. It's a cat and mouse, but ultimately a user has to be able to use a product, which has a UI that must appear relatively stable, even if the underlying markup changes.
Do you also realize the disease has only been around for maybe around 2 years at most? So we really have no long term data on effects from getting COVID naturally either. Considering we have plenty of data on other vaccines being quite safe in the long term. I would rather play that game than the "I am relatively healthy so I'll risk getting a deadly disease" I am aware I could still get COVID while vaccinated, but I also know that the chances of getting serious illness while vaccinated are much much lower than if I wasn't.
Sorry my original comment was unclear. I was strictly talking about traveling within America. Internationally there are huge price differences.

The article has a numerator but not a denominator:

> Accurate data on the overall volume of cryptocurrency trading in Lebanon is all but impossible to obtain, due to the informality of the market. Demand fluctuates with the rise and fall of the global cryptocurrency market, but OTC suppliers estimated trading volumes across Lebanon of up to 10 million dollars per week at high points

So… 10 000 000 USD moving via crypto per week of i USD total currency movement per week.

Without this number it’s hard to tell if this is a significant new trend, or just fringe.
My guess would be, based on The Gervais Principle and on my predjudice that dissenting opinions aren't viewed favourably and may be detrimental <edit>to your</edit> career, that we have a "The emperors' new clothes" situation here. The people authorized to make decisions may be clueless (GP) and the people pointing out possible problems have been gotten rid of. There is a turkish proverb: "The fish starts stinking at the head". The Peter Principle from 1969! might apply too.

Hobbies are not useless by definition.
I wonder how much of this comes down to people working longer and less social hours, and the decline in multigenerational households providing childcare to working age parents. Having the time to browse through a department store at your leisure is a massive luxury that I suspect many people simply can’t do.
I'm loving the direction that Phoenix and Elixir is taking. I am well invested in my current company but one day if I get a chance to work with it professionally I will be very happy. The tooling is evolving at a quick pace and is super powerful already out of the box.

More reasons:

* To enjoy free AC on hot summer days.

In southern European countries were summers are very hot, humid and electricity is expensive it's nice to let someone else pay the bill.

I would; it’s a bit like teaching. For general documentation you need to refresh your mental model of the system and organize it to be explained to somebody without your familiarity. For specific areas (APIs, for example) you must review the assumptions in that domain and summarize them.

23.8%, because he would surely have to pay NIIT as well, right?

But also, that's just federal taxes. California adds 13.3% on top of that (for any income over $1 million, which is most of the income here).

But also, this is a stock grant, which generally get taxed as ordinary income, so I would expect 37% federal, 2.35% medicare, 13.3% California tax, adding up to 52.65% in taxes.

From my experience, compressed binary bundle is < 10 Mb and memory usage is < 100 Mb for a generic app. Of course memory usage will vary wildly between application domains. With Iced, it's fairly constant, since Rust offers pretty solid memory leak protection.
"A car needs several car-lengths of space between them."

The distance between bumpers actually cancels out (actually it comes out in the car's favor). First notice that in the picture the cars are almost touching, so clearly you mean in fast moving traffic.

In fast moving traffic the carrying capacity of a lane is equal of the inverse reaction time (typically engineers use a large margin of safety and 2 seconds is used -> 1800 cars/(lane hour)).

For bikes, since they travel more slowly, you have to add the time it takes to travel their own length. So the carrying capacity of a lane is 1/(reaction time + length of bike / speed of bike).

The "several car lengths between them" is literally space that exists only because cars have generated themselves by virtue of going very fast (since fast moving vehicles get to where they want to be quicker and therefore get off the road to make space for someone else).

This doesn't mean that cars make sense in dense cities. They don't.

This doesn't means cars don't take more space by virtue of being longer in slow traffic. They do

But it does mean that, if there are "several car lengths between them", they are in fact operating in a more space efficient regime.

No ones saying anyone here has had the privilege of being born with a mind comparable to Terry’s, but a charitable (at the least) reading of his thoughts would be about working hard to better yourself, wherever you are today. If you’re just a programmer writing good code, you can work hard (not necessarily for your boss) to get better at it. Or not. Your choice. But given the day and age we live in you cannot keep insisting about the lack of opportunity if all you’re talking about is getting better yourself.
If you consistently do that, you will start seeing captcha wall of hell. Google gets its pound of flesh one way or the other.
Mobile networks, for example, have huge deployments of IPv6. Whether or not they are used to access IPv6-only services doesn’t change the fact that IPv6 is an integral part of their network design and therefore an alternative to IPv6 would need a migration pathway from it.
>A symptom with a 1 in 100 000 occurrences would result in about 800 cases in my country. Arranged according to demographics, divided by the number of phlebologists in these areas, and the baseline prevalence of these symptoms you can start to make an informed guess as to what amount is "normal".

But things aren’t normal. Travel patterns have completely changed due to covid, so less or more people might be visiting a clinic than previously. People have been far more sedentary compared to previous years, a key risk factor for VTE, which could increase individual risk by as much as 30%. Covid itself causes VTE, so people with diagnosed and undiagnosed earlier cases of covid would increase the numbers.

> You're overly confident for an assertion that relies on your belief that someone with decades of medical experience would be ignorant of these basic statistical pitfalls.

Even in well thought out, carefully conducted studies, biases and confounding factors can cause serious issues. These aren’t “basic statistical pitfalls”. These are things that even the smartest people cannot account for without conducting an actual study with actual controls and randomization, actual statistical analysis, actual identification of confounding factors, actual reanalysis accounting for those, and actual peer review to make sure there were not issues you did not think of. I’m confident because I know that we do medical studies because we know that even the smartest people cannot just eyeball changes in incidence rates and cannot know which of many factors is likely causing the change. Even experts have human biases and we require the structure and rigor of studies to help mitigate them. I’m not confident that I am more knowledgeable than a doctor, I’m confident that the people much smarter than me developed evidence based medicine because they understood that no one is above bias, even your doctor.

F# (and surely there are others) offers type providers, which can reach into your db schemas at compile time and typecheck linq-ish or even raw sql strings and the subsequent uses of the result set. But in the simplest case it makes compilation a function of not only source files but also db schema state. You can extract schema defs and point the type provider at the "cached" defs, but make sure rebuilding those is part of the build process.

Before online shopping, there was the department store (and mail order catalogues).

When I were a lad, the centre of Edinburgh had, I think, the department stores: BHS, C&A, M&S, House of Fraser, Debenhams, Jenners, John Lewis, Goldbergs (extra brownie points to anyone else who remembers Goldbergs!). I think only M&S and John Lewis remain.

As recently as the 1980s, Jenners still had lift attendants.

That is because the opportunity has arisen to assert power and control over those deemed the enemies of modernity, diversity and progres, you know those guys: the antivaxxers, the qtards, the bigots, the skeptics, the conspiracists, the uneducated and so on. Vaccine mandates and restrictions are not a rational reaction to the threat of covid but an irrational reaction used by the upper class, the elites, the guys in charge to beat down both economically and socially the deplorables. And the deplorables react with such opposition to vaccines and pandemic measures precisely because they sense the hatred and bias, they feel all those measures are not made to protect them but to force them to just get bent.
