I used to be friends with a few truck drivers, and all of them were making money because all of them were cheatings the books non-stop. It was basically a job requirement. Drive 48 hours? No problem.

This has been made a lot more difficult with the electronic log books.

Edit: Just want to add some additional information. Trucking companies at least were my friends worked, were extremely toxic. They made close to $100k. However, their personal life suffered greatly.
Dispatchers would call them non-stop, even when they had doctor visits/family gatherings scheduled. The dispatchers would give them loads, that were basically humanely impossible to be delivered on-time by the book. Some of them would be awake all day, and leave in the evening then drive 24 hours+. Dispatchers would often scream at them, when they would call because they were falling asleep and were not going to make the delivery on-time because they needed a nap.

Some of them actually crashed, because they saw a "deer" lol.....they fell asleep.

These friends were uneducated, and made terrible financial decisions, such a purchasing expensive cars and modifying them. Little to no savings. This put them in an awful position in which they had to keep driving no matter how toxic the environment was. Unfortunately, I don't really know how they are doing today, as we grew apart.
Testing code as you go along is not experimentation. It saves time by allowing you to verify your assumptions are correct in a controlled way.

You can sit there and plan all you want until you think you understand it, but you never actually know until you run the code. Being a good programmer is all about simplifying complexity. Testing your code as you go along to verify your assumptions is one more way to do this.
Wat? The easiest way to build up a large collection of files, especially one that is only worth it to back up if you can do so inexpensively, is downloading movies. I would guess this describes most people who store lots of data.

Also, the lesser number of people storing large amounts of original data (eg videographers) probably create enough community goodwill to make up for the cost.
So the question is, does the size of the market and the scope of it (gaming vs general purpose computing) matter?
The original Apple iSight camera (640x480 resolution Firewire cam) was really nice for 2003. It retailed for US$149.

Charlie Bell would describe Amazon's Obidos as a "big ball of mud". I had thought he came up with that description. It is a good way to describe the problem.

What does fentanyl have to do with people who were cut off, people who - for years/decades - responsibly used Rx opiods to manage chronic debilitating pain?

Unless you're talking about people in pain who were forced to the street, after Dr's were (en masse) hazed into stopping pain treatment. In that case, I get your point.
Learner licenses (in the EU afaik) will not allow you to cross borders or operate commercially. Crossing borders is like driving without a license. They generally are completely valid as soon as you turn 18 though.
That's an interesting point. It would seem that the idea truck would have the highest possible cargo to truck weight ratio for profitability purposes. The square cube law would seem to indicate that larger trucks are heavier, but add much more cargo space to compensate.

However, larger engines could be less efficient per pound than their smaller counterparts. My intuition is that the opposite is true, but I could definitely be wrong on that.
Around 60 I think. About six that were perpetually visible, then a dozen that were revealed via a "folder" that appeared when one of those was tapped. The remainder swapped out per-app (like, one set for Safari, another for XCode, etc.).
Freelancers have a different set of expectations and norms, in my experience.
Let me know when they manage to automated cross country freight trains, then we can talk about when they will have automated interstate trucks, let alone intrastate trucks (which make up probally 60% or more of the driver jobs)

in 2060 there will still be a huge demand for drivers. Fully Automated driving is vaporware, even if they make the tech work which they are still decades away from, there is legal and political hurdles that will be even harder to over come.
How can I integrate datree into my CircleCI pipeline?
I used to recommend articles with titles like "modern Python package structure and tooling" to graduates. I stopped because the tools (poetry, pipenv etc) were changing so much. I try to fit as much of our workflows into hand made templates and PyCharm now.
Just dropping in to mention how Alt-Tab is one of my go-tos whenever I use / set up a new Apple computer. Good job!
I think it's great to give credit to ART+COM for making the demo they did at the time they did it.

Building a PC app that does it much better is also worth recognition IMO, and the Netflix show denies that.

The IP issues were resolved, but I think it was important to point out why there was no infringement for people who might not understand the details as well.
Agreed. There has been so much churn and fragmentation with build tools over the last few years. So much complexity for what is not such a complicated problem to solve. Hopefully this is the "has to get worse before it can get better" part.
It’s like you become a business with multiple clients (employers).
I would say you are looking at this wrong, mainly that there are better arguments to support what you want to occur.

For example, it is a weak argument to point out they have not produced a game or a gaming-first console, ie marketed to gamers primarily with the additional capabilities of doing other things. Gaming has been "the other thing".

The reason being that antitrust and anti-monopoly actions from the government are to highlight antimcompetitive practices towards other competitors. Simply winning the lion share of the market has no regulation against it, becoming more vertically integrated or it being pure happenstance that consumers choose to generate revenue for you on the platform is not something we regulate.

Now, by "hostage situation" you must be referring to the developers? You might have an angle here but not in a way that would really change anything. Antitrust regulation here would simply make Apple provide the ability for developers to have alternative payment methods.

So, not clear exactly what you are referring to or want to happen. But I think there are stronger arguments to support what you want to happen. As long as Apple doesn't ever do anything to Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo etc in the gaming space, they'll be fine.
Per capita it is probably stronger than many schools, overall I doubt it is better - and certainly not than top CS schools.

That said, in undergrad for ML, I think some of the more important things are giving you a strong basis in linear algebra, vector calculus, and numerical computing - and I certainly got that there.
Is this really an issue? While there are a lot of unmaintained packages doing it (which I assume will still be working for some years?), I don't think I've seen a recent package doing it in years.

In the off-chance you end up depending on that legacy code, repackaging that one or two dependencies shouldn't be that big of a deal.
I don't think that's surprising. One of the main drivers of official support for a free and open internet is to promote a universal culture. To turn scary and unknown foreigners into just-like-us peaceful and prosperous trading partners. That's obviously a two way street - we can export our memes to them, but they can also export their memes to us.

Addendum: Personally, I'm really excited about the Steam Deck. An open mobile gaming platform that runs Arch (!) and consists of primarily full-priced experiences seems like just the right fit for me.
Yup, there was a big hit to guys driving extra hours when it became easier to spot them.

It was easy to make extra money, but it was at the cost of all of their time. It kinda inflated how good a living you could make...at least looking at the end results. But it also wasn't very realistic.

> They have to my knowledge never produced a game, or a "real" console, yet they rake in more gaming money than any other?

By this logic they have never produced a ‘real’ phone.

Apple has invested hugely at every level in making iOS into a games platform.
You don't get to exclude iPhones and iPads from being "real" consoles - you can play games (and sell them) on almost any general computing device. Steam has been doing that for years and I suspect they beat Xbox/PlayStation revenues too.
Have been using them for years, never had an issue.

I have heard that they disconnect you for a couple of hours if youre being heavily DDOSSed tho.
Re: pay, here's a comment of mine from another thread on this topic. You need to take into consideration that there are two sides to this market -- the supply side and demand side:

There's a lot of stuff to ship, but margins on those things are very thin + demand for said stuff is extremely elastic due to it not being super essential so there's also not a lot of room for increased driver wages.
Apple's cut is the same as Xbox, Playstation and the Switch and you _do_ have to use their stores and their physical media sales also gets a cut. The Switch can already be hacked to run Android and play other games from other stores, the latest Xbox and Playstation are essentially just blessed configurations of PC hardware, but everyone is totally cool with that situation and those devices being locked down and restricted. Why is nobody up in arms about those?

The standard being asked for and the outrage only being applied to Apple seems... fake.
Tesla, which just sells cars directly on their web site, gets left off the list.

This seems to “brands for which we can earn a commission by offering our services to help you through the dealership purchasing process.”

It’s that old investigative question: Who benefits?

Kind of like when Biden held a White House “EV Summit” for auto makers and did not invite Tesla… I kid you not, this happened. Still scratching my head over that one.
Your comment proves my theorem that xadhominemx only ever posts in this particular thread.

The vast majority of it I would wager. It's shocking that the EU hasn't regulated against it yet.
What's Wrong with My Benchmark Results?
What makes you believe they are better informed?
From my experience of:
1. being a not-quite-old person (33)
2. step son (16)
3. step daughter (15)
4. having a step mother teaching elementary school
5. my mother teaching middle and high school

I see kids as overly exposed to dramatic information. Both of my kids thought they were gay prior to hitting puberty and realizing they weren't. Both of my kids have taken political extremist positions, one identifying as communist and the other identifying as a libertarian. Most of the children I know are participating in very adult discussions without giving any hint of their age. Children are exposed much earlier to sex and pornography and fringe groups.

In addition to this, reading and writing skills have anecdotally declined considerably. When I was 16, I read at least one book per month, usually one per week. Most of the children I've had experience with will never read a book unless ordered to, and have no desire to read one either. Children are unable to write coherently; they pump out barely understandable slang prose, throw it through grammarly, and assume that it's good.

Hell, for one other anecdote, my wife is in college right now and I've been reading her peers' essays for English and History class and I can't imagine how these people are capable of operating in society with their absolute bottom of the barrel writing ability. Professors are having to give passing grades to what could be considered 6th grade writing levels in order to not fail the entire class.

Maybe things were the same when I was a child and I just wasn't exposed to it, but I don't have a lot of hope in the education of the future generations with access to social media. I do feel a lot of job security, however.
So when gamers brag that the games industry is larger than the movies industry they are mostly bragging about those cassino-like exploitive mobile games, not just their dear AAA games?
Yeah, the article discusses this:

>Employers are going to need to wrap their heads around this situation and create plans that allow this. I suspect the reason many employees are not transparent about what they are doing is that their employers won’t allow it. So they do it anyway and keep it under wraps.

I don't think employers will do this, imo

Why does advice have to apply to every scenario ?

When you need your car fixed, do you ask the repairman which scientifically valid studies he bases his methods on? Scientists study things and advise on new methods (that often turn out to be worthless). Front line workers do the work they are paid for. But when the repairman says "I think that's your gear box", it often turns out to be true. And yes, a teacher is a professional. Teaching is a profession, and probably one the topmost important in Our society. If one day you end up trying to teach something to a bunch of angry teenagers, you'll quickly realize why. It's really fucking sad that so many people don't realize that.
Yeah. I dislike the hack pipes proposal because it introduces a bunch of syntax that only works mid pipe.

F# style and a separate partial application proposal that could work anywhere in js (instead of just in a pipe) seems preferable to me.

Apropos the UK...it depends on the contract and how the phone is financed. Here's an example of EE's (UK company) "Pay Monthly Terms":

https://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/help-pdfs/pay-monthly-n...

Section 10 explains ownership:

Starting with...Section 10.1:

"You may get Equipment from Us directly when You take out a Price
Plan, whether for free or for an upfront cost. Unless We tell You
otherwise, or You get Equipment under a Finance Agreement, We will
own any Equipment provided to You by Us for the first six months of
the Minimum Term."

...and it goes on.
Something not mentioned in the article, and I'm sad to see NPR ignore is that the trucking industry turned predatory in the past few years (mainly because I'm sure they reported on it in the past).

Certain logistics companies have been pushing drivers into "owner-operator" scenarios, where they are responsible for gas, insurance, maintenance, and lease payments, while not being given the flexibility to drive for other companies. Leaving some drivers with negative paychecks (basically, their pay didn't cover expenses).

I'm betting they are going after 18 years olds specifically because they are kind of primed to into debt for a career because the college admissions process kind of primes them to think this is normal.
There is definitely room for this, it just needs somebody passionate enough to write a nice Arduino/embedded framework and document/promote it well.
These reaction wheels have such a high failure rate. Is it a fundamental Tribology problem? edit I see they think it was a software issue but I still wonder about reaction wheel failure rates.

If you're looking for the number of potential customers for purchasing games - it absolutely does. More customers, more game purchases, more game revenue - even if the absolute percentage of game players is less.

Just look at how big ATVI's mobile gaming revenue is: it rivals (and sometimes beats) the revenue from their "core" products (a'la Call of Duty).
I watched a grown man, a skilled and conscientious man, learn to drive an 18-wheeler in California and try to make a living.

It is dangerous, it will test the nerves of the driver. You will be bullied, it is the culture. The price pressure on wages, for a fully qualified and competent driver, were relentlessly downward in the USA.

The ports here are full of refugees sleeping in the cabs of their leased trucks. The callousness and stupid-on-stupid business practices are a cacophony. Civilized people need not apply to either end of it.
I have exophoria and myopia I am quite comfortable at the computer all day. Before I was diagnosed with exophoria and got these, I found my own way to cope which was to wear an old pair of glasses which were a much weaker prescription in terms of diopters. Whenever at the computer I would need to switch glasses to the weaker prescription or my eyes would bother me. With Neurolens wearing the same glasses all day whether or not I’m at the computer feels perfectly fine and I have zero eye strain at the computer.
I'm familiar with currying. In the real world, unless you have a certain type of parse transform, that's not the same as composition, due to lambda overheads.

There's nothing particular about Amazon here, any company or person you owe money to in the US (can't speak for other countries) can take you to court or turn your debt over to a collection agency.

I haven't heard of Amazon specifically ever doing either of these things.

Or am I missing what you're saying is particular to Amazon and relevant here?
>Without trust, audiences begin to question the intentions behind every joke, they take jokes literally, and they use their collective voices to bully comedians and pressure studios against taking any comedic risk.

This is the meaty bit right here. Because you have people who tell jokes that are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, ageist (normally wouldn't include that but I gotta play to the HN crowd), etc. and either 1) go out and actually do bigoted things/maintain relationships with outwardly bigoted people, or 2) the people who enjoy the jokes go out and do bigoted things and use the joke as cover.

If you want to test this, go on 4chan right now and ask people how they feel about the difference between "black people and niggas" (Chris Rock) or "how white people are better" (Louis C.K.). (If you argue that 4chan isn't representative of the general public, you can try Facebook, but, uh, you're taking your life into your own hands with that crowd.)

The problem may very well be less that people won't tolerate transgressive humor today, as it is that people can't be trusted with transgressive humor today. Some people see it as rhetoric, not humor.

It's now nearly impossible to build a web browser from scratch because of runaway explosion of web browser features, and proprietary API extensions.

W3C here is unfortunately a part to the problem.

Standardisation is good, but letting google pour streams halfassedly written RFCs onto other browsermakers is not good.

Non-enforcement of standards is also bad, and it's bad to extend W3C privileges to companies who themselves selectively implement their own proposals, so others' browsers can't match their behaviour.
Sounds like AWS is incredibly simple to use if you have your developers trying to minimize costs instead of actually getting it to work. Which is a lot better than other products out there which may be cheaper but end up not working as advertised after spending half a year ‘integrating’.
Wouldn't there be substantial consequences if Apple, a publicly traded company, were caught lying about revenue numbers?
Any analytical formula describing a physical property will have dropped higher order terms (implicit or explicitly) the entire way through the derivation. This experiment proves Einstein’s equations are predictive within the precision implied by order of terms within the equation. That is implied by the form of the equation itself. You are trying to logic yourself to a witty conclusion but lack the context to understand the words that are being used.
I think the first step will be long-haul trucking across long, technically easy, high-demand routes. Think of a cross country route taking something from San Francisco to Chicago. A driver gets you out of San Francisco, through the valley, and through the Sierras. Once it reaches Reno, the driver exits the truck, then the truck self-drives across the Nevada and Utah deserts until you reach Salt Lake City. A new driver gets you across the Wasatch but then I-80 is easy again all the way from Wyoming to Chicago so it goes back to self-driving. A driver takes over again to navigate Chicago's busy roads. You've cut the driver out of 80%, and no driver is going more than 300 miles in one shot.
While I agree with the second, this is an implementation "detail" of the routing layer. Universal multicast is much more interesting as an usage, though I am not sure about the feasibility.

As far as human-assignable names go, I am not sure. "pet names" would be a good fit: you "pin" a service using your name or someone else's.

Sure, you can also use a ready-made mapping from words to binary like https://what3words.com/inferior.chapels.nerve for instance, but I feel like picking one is a separate endeavor with its own pitfalls (not everyone speaks English, etc).

It's worth pointing out that the majority of bystander effect studies are lab-based, and involve asking WEIRD [0] undergraduate students what they'd do in a hypothetical situation.

The cited study in the grandparent comment is an analysis of security camera footage in Amsterdam, Cape Town (!), and Lancaster, UK, and so is not synthetically asking people about what they reckon would happen, but is instead an examination of what does actually happen. Not that street fights in two very (and one relatively) typically Western cities don't represent a biasing limitation of sample, but it's still more applicable, IMO.
