I've found the hard way that the reputation is entirely justified.

- Low quality materials (thinner walls, shittier insulation, etc.)

- Off-standard measurements make replacements difficult (everything from doorways to vent sizes are unique to mobiles)

- Both of these problems conspire to make inevitable repairs more expensive than they otherwise would be

- With the result that finding handymen to do work for you is challenging. A number of people simply refuse to work on them.

- Financing options suck (banks often won't finance them, leaving you to specialty lenders with downright extortionate terms)

- Trailer parks suck. (And also have a reputation that is not entirely undeserved)

They're cheap alright, but the truism "you get what you pay for" applies. I'd never buy a mobile home again, not even brand new.
I dont entirely buy that considering stock DDR5 goes down to 1.1V using normal DIMM sockets.
That video is not of Thomas Jendges, please don't spread this campaign of lies further. (It's a video from October last year, showing Guido Hofmann)
It’s pretty crucial to the game Hangman.
“What happens when you tune your instrument too tightly?” the Buddha asked.

“The strings break,” the musician replied.

“And what happens when you string it too loosely?”

“When it’s too loose, no sound comes out,” the musician answered. “The string that produces a tuneful sound is not too tight and not too loose.”

“That,” said the Buddha, “is how to practice: not too tight and not too loose.”
Ironically that hype is the 2021 reality with SaaS and Web APIs everyhwere.
Ahh - no; some of them are uncomputable in the sense that a u.turing machine cannot calculate them. For example no-repeat tiling.
The same. I have been developing in C#/.NET Core for sometime and haven't used visual studio. I only use vim / vscode / Rider.

Even now that I work at Microsoft, I don't use Visual Studio. Its too resource intensive and I use vim to get the job done. Not sure why people use Visual Studio at all these days.
Energy companies aren't worth much of anything, so even if you value Tesla as an energy company that still doesn't justify its valuation.

Tesla is basically in all the high capital with low margin businesses (cars, electricity, solar, batteries).
Where is OP located? If it’s a tech hub on the coasts then they fucked him lol.

The fact that you stayed for four years at 60k means they probably think even less of him by now.

For what it’s worth OP, some startup swore they were going public about 8 years ago to me at a billion dollar valuation. It came with a six figure salary and options, this was 8 years ago. Long story short, the company never went public and certainly isn’t valued at a billion dollars by any measure. But they are still around.
Looking at .NET repos in Github, they were forked over 2.5k times. What's different with this fork?
Membership of a GitHub organisation enables issues to be assigned to people in the community.
I don't really see the problem. .Net was developed by Microsoft and so far they have done a pretty good job as a benevolent dictator. By all means, go ahead and fork it, but I don't see how this would improve the platform or gain trust from the enterprises using .Net. I mean, in my view even Mono was barely accepted and only because it ran on Linux.
"A stroad is a street/road hybrid."

My interpretation of the teaching is let love exist along with fear etc but don’t cling to love for fear it will pass and don’t cling to fear for fear it will not pass. He wasn’t telling people not to love but to allow it to exist without superimposing your neuroses on top of it.
It certainly does, because ethanol does

Of course your immune system (and Buddha's one) is constantly killing bacteria to keep you alive. Is there a self defense exception? There should be a line somewhere but it's difficult to draw it when we don't even agree what consciousness is. It could also be totally impractical. Probably a Buddhist alive is better than a Buddhist dead because it's necessary to kill smaller beings to be alive.

To contribute to a repo (i.e. send a PR) you need to fork a repo. This is different.
Or that some people’s names can only be represented as a bitmap or vector graphic. Or what if some people’s names can only be represented in a computer by that computer executing arbitrary code? Then all computer software that accepts the input of human names must by definition have arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities!

I don’t know whether he ever said anything that was carelessly blatantly racist: I haven’t been hanging on his every word, and he’s somewhat cautious and not an idiot. But he keeps dumping millions of dollars to support nativist white supremacist liars like Kris Kobach and Donald Trump.

In this election cycle his biggest beneficiaries are all-in on building a border wall with Mexico and stripping rights from Latin American immigrants, preventing immigration from Muslim-majority nations, harassing Chinese living in the US, violating the sovereignty of indigenous American tribes, preventing or rendering useless the votes of Latinos and African Americans, etc.

I don’t know if Thiel is personally a racist. I think it’s more likely he’s just an opportunist angling for personal profit who sees supporting racists and racist policies as a winning bet.

A web search turns up https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/wh... – that probably does a better job than anyone will manage in a tiny comment here of probing Thiel’s motives.
You might consider pseudonymity (esp. w. generated usernames) rather than anonymity. It solves some problems, while introducing or exacerbating others, but I think it might be a closer match to your stated aims.

I'm not sure if he would care. I'll need to dig it up the source, but in an interview a friend of his said that DFW actually went and ate two lobsters that evening after writing the essay.
>Sorry, I am really trying to understand the point here

The guy who forked the repo is claiming .NET is held back because MS is favoring Visual Studio and tools it sells for money instead of improving the open source ecosystem.
(I'm not the author. Only the graph looked familiar in style, so I guessed graphviz and verified looking at the source code of the website.)
It is just a performance art, isn't it? It is hard for me to view it as a serious project...

Intellisense, intellicode, having everything from refactoring, to debugging, to profiling, to publishing at one shortcut away.
Geodesics usually have flat panels as well - flat panels of limited size meeting at odd angles, yes, but flat panels nonetheless - that allow you to use conventional furnishings against or nearby to walls without unusual visual gaps in at least a few places. "Real" domes, on the other hand, not so much.
If you have CAPD, you can get a small ear filter which will actually help. (I have it and was diagnosed.)

I was in a class where week one was “create a blog to keep track of the rest of the projects this semester” and for many of us, no big deal, static site generator, pick a theme for a wordpress, whatever. One of my classmates tho had never touched HTML and was super stressed about the assignment until they stumbled upon the fact the Word can export HTML - and its easy enough to highlight text and add hyperlinks to other html website so, bingo, whole semester’s work published in Word. Yes the auto-generated markup is horrendous but it gets the job done, full marks.
Where are the details to back up this call to action? I want to see how much more financially productive it is to replace a stroad with a separate street and road. I see these commercial through roads all over, they handle so much traffic compared to streets, it's hard to believe they decrease value in medium density population areas.

> I mean modern devops is basically circling back around to that idea but with “php files” replaced with “git repo.”

I don't agree. DevOps is and has always been a guy FTP'ing files to a server. Except that guy was smart and wrote a script that runs as a git hook to automatically run that for him.

That script was so successful that the same figurative guy also integrated tests and checks and rollbacks into his script.

After spending some time with the script, that guy noticed that the whole software development cycle would be far better if the software they were developing and deploying had some design features to eliminate potential problems and simplify said scripts.

But in the end it's always a guy pushing files to a server. But doing it the smart way.
Another problem with Conway's Law is that even if you create a perfect microservices architecture based on your org chart, all it takes is a couple reorgs and/or acquisitions before that architecture is no longer based on reality.
It seems for me a guy wants the community to compete with MS, but the only thing he does is forking repos, inviting to discussions and posting on HN.

I don't think it will result in anything.
I haven't used C#, so don't really know, but doesn't Visual Studio have a great debugger for C# with things like custom visualizers? Looking from the outside, it seemed to me that for C# the Visual Studio debugger has an edge over the competition.
That's an interesting question, or at least it might be in the future, as it cuts right to the heart of what it means to be alive.

Right now no, an Arduino can't be sentient because it's not alive. If at some future point an Arduino could tick all the "is alive" boxes [0]:
- homeostasis
- organisation
- metabolism
- growth
- adaptation
- response
- reproduction
Then yes, there would be a good case for the Arduino being sentient.

However if you take a look at the list you'll see response is listed, that's because anything that is alive is sentient by definition.

Sentient by definition is really the point, sentient and sapient were defined specifically to codify the uniqueness of humanity.

All these other this are sentient, but only us, humans, and sapient.

The definitions although seemingly scientific are simply a re-enforcement of the biblical idea that the world was created for us, and that we can essentially do as we please, you can see this is the test for sapience, which is, is the specimen a member of the homo sapiens species.

Just for completeness, and to also touch on why this might become an important question; you'll also see organisation on that list.
Organisation is usually defined as being made up of one or more cells, which suggests that an Arduino, or any machine, will always fail to pass that test.

Essentially humans have defined life in terms of itself. This makes sense, we only have a single reference and as such we can't even begin to imagine what other forms of life may exist.

However, as we create ever more complex nondeterministic machines, or if we ever get serious about finding extraterrestrial life, this definition is going to have to change to allow for other possibilities.

Attachment (upadana) which arises immediately from desire (tanha). "The desire, adherence, attraction, and attachment for these five grasping aggregates is the origin of suffering."

I agree and should have agreed differently that an absence of attachment does not mean an absence of love.

That is an incredibly biased reading.

The farm laws were among the most progressive changes the farms had seen in the last century. It was politically hijacked despite having been previously supported by the same opposition who was currently leading the agitation.

India is politically incredibly left as a nation, and IMO the right simply isn't right enough. If India can even reach a Bernie or Warren level.of capitalism, it would be a dream come true.

Sadly, we are stuck in a system that glorifies blind socialism despite it having continuously kneecapped the economy decade over decade.

I hope the PSUs get sold off. The farm bills pass (wishful thinking) and India finally manages to claw back some power from this kafkaesque beaurocracy.
Yeso is a very interesting concept, I may try to run it just for that.
I don't think bacteria possess the five skandhas necessary for qualification but I'd love to hear an argument against.
The "everybody must care because I do" mindset is vastly more annoying and infinitely more destructive.
... but as they just told you, doesn't hightlight that it's just one person, not multiple, as they wanted to do.
At this stage, it is clear that different departments inside MSFT have diverging interests.

A solution to this would be splitting the company in two. Cloud and development tools, Azure, .NET, Github would be one part. The other would be Legacy and business apps, Windows, Office, Edge, gaming, hardware.

>Huh only in America it might be considered OK to execute a person for a theft of an automative part.

I'm not american but I agree with his views. Being the victim of a break-in, I want nothing more than to cave in the fucker's skull with a metal rod to this day. These people will continue to get away with it ad infinitum unless someone teaches them a lesson. It makes me so irrationally angry that it's among the top 3 issues when I'm voting.

If the police won't do anything about this issue who will?
I’ve worked professionally with .net for decades. At one point we had a few visual studio enterprise licenses. I haven’t used visual studio for C# since 2019 or something like that, because VSC is just flat out more productive for me personally.

I know some people are going to swear by some of the VS enterprise tooling, but we never missed any of it.

As far as .Net goes, this seems like an really odd time to do an open project. I mean, what are they going to be doing? Just copy paste official updates?
In different ways, most things I've done have been meaningful. I learnt to code through cofounding a massive non-profit fanfic website with my friends and that build helped... me! I was living in poverty on welfare and had no way to go to school as I was the sole carer for my quadriplegic family member. Then I took what I'd learned and worked on a new project, connecting profoundly disabled people and roboticists to explore the world through drones. Nowadays I run a free code school for refugees and other people living in poverty, where professional developers volunteer to teach and mentor the learners so they can get good jobs in tech and start their own lives in this country.

Interspersed with those three big projects I've done contracting and agency work, mainly in Accessibility FE, and that has been a bit less motivating to work on, though it's useful, I think, to make all sites and apps work properly for as many people as possible. I've always stayed in the arts or academia for those contracts. I've never worked at a megacorp or for any kind of prestigious employer, so I've never really had to worry about the ethics of an employer. (Obviously I've never been paid loads either. :D )

I count myself so lucky to be able to spend my days like this. I leap out of bed to go to work in the morning. I recommend it!
The further north you get, the less efficient earthships become. When you have close to no sunlight during the coldest time of the year you want more insulation. Passive house designs work better.
If slower traffic kept right, there’d be a lot less passing on the right. (If you’re getting passed on the right regularly, you might consider your own lane discipline as well as that of those passing you.)
Well well well. Seems like post has been Flaged. Again somebody wants to bury the voices. Well done M$. Well done.
> Dome houses are far from a new idea, neither are plastic houses, I have never seen them except as a novelty or experiment.

Igloos are popular in certain parts of the world.
I'm not quite certain how common it really is. But, in any case, ports are expected to occasionally collide and therefore easy to configure.

If port collisions were such a hassle, we wouldn't see anything like a "common" port (i. e. one that unrelated tools choose per default).

Good developers can have a pipe in every port, I guess...

(valid for development work only, especially those cases where you run some server and it opens the browser for you, port helpfully provided. There is value in ssh on 22 and http on 80, obvsly)

Agree with you there, except the tooling part. I still don't love the dependency management having gone through pip/venv, conda, pipenv, poetry, ?? over the years. Everything else is fantastic with excellent community.

I too am looking into nim more and more recently because I don't want to write code without static typing anymore and it has very nice syntax and native compilation.
I love the lack of background music that is common on channels like that.
I have no idea what you are talking about but would love to hear you out because it's clear there's pain. I don't work for Chocolatey and never have. Contact me please.

A somewhat surprising and interesting side effect of this can be found in the blog post "Hacking GitHub with Unicode's dotless i" [1], which is now fairly well known.

Don’t think so. There are cultural differences, weather differences, etc.
My daughter has the cambridge (CamAPS) one : https://camdiab.com/

My understanding is that it has a predictive algorithm based on what it's learned about the response of the user. Also we work out carbs and put them into the device 20 minutes before meals so that it can pre-dose.

Another advantage is the minute to minute monitoring providing data that allows us to understand how well she is doing and what we need to do to improve her levels.
Maybe only a bit related, but I love how since "trees" was taken, someone made "marijuanaenthusiasts"... for discussing trees.
It used to, and it’s still a better choice if you’re still doing old school stuff like web-forms with GUI library extensions like Telrik, which a lot enterprise companies are legitimately still doing and to great effect.

But if you’re doing anything modern .Net, at least with C# then you won’t miss VS at all.
this is sort of like stopping when reading some tutorial on nginx and the example app the tutorial is using to show how nginx works is written in php because you're too cool for that php stuff.
Its very logical. The current definition of sentience being proposed in the bill requires that an animal be able to perceive pain to be within scope (I'm not entirely convinced this should be a necessary condition, but that's what they've settled on) . When existing animal rights legislation was written lobsters, cephalapods etc. were considered incapable of doing this. The evidence now shows that they are capable of perceiving pain so they are being included in the bill (along with rats, deer and other mammals but not insects). Hence logical consistency is preserved. Perhaps the next time they revise animal rights legislation they will have evidence that insects can feel pain and so they will also be included.
There are on the order of 200 hull-losses per decade on commercial cargo ships.

Much of that being concentrated along sea lanes which travel relatively close to shorelines, meaning both fisheries and marine habitats.

There are about 80,000 cargo vessels presently registered --- that's a large number of nuclear engineers to train.

And we probably won't be satisfied with flags of convenience. Or hauling bombs (ammonia fertiliser) in nuclear generating plants.
Couldn't a robot be programmed to respond to stimuli, and to communicate with other robots? Would that then be a form of sentience?
Did you know, that the Netherlands is rated higher than the US for car friendliness?

Making biking, public transport and walking more attractive also improves the experience for the few that still need to use a car.

Cars have a really low capacity. If you reserve the fastest route for biking or public transport and force cars to take a longer route then you will still be faster by car over the longer route than you would over the shorter route if cars where allowed there.

Not just bikes did a video on just that and explains it much better than I have:

This is between the platform and C# itself, but the dotnet world gets usability improvements years / decades before Java. Nullable annotations, nicer generics, value types, Linq, type inference, more intuitive memory limits settings, ... and so many more. It's also got some opinionated standard(ish) solutions - you know which DI interface you'll use, likely which GUI toolkit you'll use. .Net/C# also had the modules and installation sorted for quite some time. And .Net FFI is so much better to deal with. And .net has a built-in async support.

Ikvm and similar projects show that they're roughly equivalent in power once compiled. But the .net dev friendliness is so much better imo.
