It’s me cynically suggesting that they’ll do that just to get rid of this annoyance. That’s what Facebook and many other big companies would do. I don’t know if Google has done in the past but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I've been using dvorak for a long time. I kind of wonder if not having a keyboard with the correct dvorak keycaps actually helps learn it faster than it would if you had the correct keycaps? If you can't look at the keys to know what they are, then it encourages touch typing. Still, I can see where it'd be nice to be able to fall back on looking at the keys.
The trick, we've found, is not to make bots smarter but rather humans dumber. The last five years have been rather fruitful.
$4k is excessive but human immunoglobulin is famously expensive as it has to be extracted from human blood plasma, essentially a micro blood transfusion.

The rabies vaccine is different and costs much less, if you get vaccinated before exposure then you don't need the immunoglobulin if you later get exposed.

It's not even necessary to be too strict on new product sales. With some gentle nudging the Invisible Hand will get the job done.

For example, if you must buy one of those old 60W (actual power draw!) incandescent light bulbs, my local hardware store will sell you one, labelled "For industrial use", for only a little more than it cost ten years ago.

However the superstore you're actually going to buy lamps in doesn't carry them any more, it just doesn't make economic sense. They have several different 8-10W LED lamps producing similar light output, often trading purchase cost versus efficiency (if you use more LEDs and balance them carefully they'll run longer and use less power to make the same light, but that costs money) but the only incandescents the big stores carry are specialist products for appliances like ovens.

In my country it's hard to buy bathroom fittings (e.g. a shower or bath taps) that don't have thermostatic behaviour†. In applications where vulnerable people are expected to use them, thermostatic limits are mandatory, so if you're a plumbing trade outlet the products that don't have this are sometimes useless to your customers, "Nah, I need TMVs or it won't pass inspection" and then it makes sense, except perhaps for some budget lines, to only carry the version which is thermostatic.

† A bimetallic thermostatic design is used, the "hot" supply is narrowed and eventually shuts altogether as water output temperature rises, so even though domestic hot water must be stored at e.g. 60°C the thermostatic valve can ensure the user never gets water above a set maximum temperature and thus they can't scald themselves or others (e.g. babies or old people)

If Sorbet knows the type of the receiver of the method call, it will suggest completion results, regardless of whether any of the suggestions themselves have sigs, or whether you're inside a method with a signature.

But without any sigs, there aren't going to necessarily be as many opportunities for Sorbet to know the type of the receiver as there would be with sigs.

Here's an example

Stripe has a huge existing Ruby codebase that powers a lot of the dashboard and more. But there’s also a push towards Java for new services.

Notably, Stripe does not use Ruby on Rails: instead there’s a few homegrown frameworks used for routing, storing data in a database, etc.
> No employer "routinely overpays" for workers without knowing it.

There is no secret database of what is being paid. They don't know any more than the employee does, or can find out with google.

> The interviewee would simply not apply in the first place.

Both the employer and interviewee find out things in the process. The employer may want to ensure the interviewee doesn't take one of the other jobs he's looking into.
Not sure what you mean by "bootstrap" in this context! Stripe uses Ruby extensively.

Mandated vaccines for adults in the United States actually is weird and unprecedented in the modern era.

It's so unprecedented and unpopular an idea that everyone - including Biden - were falling all over themselves assuring us they would under no circumstances mandate the Covid vaccine.

The problem with a statistic like that is that it is pretty much devoid of almost all data that would make it truly meaningful and valuable. That stat tells us nothing of their health pre-Covid, and I’d bet a very large portion of that number were already dealing with health issues (which we already know significantly increases severe Covid). The meaningful number is how many formerly healthy people are battling Covid caused health issues a year later. My guess is that it is a pretty small number, likely small enough that it would be considered even by you to be a “small minority”.

If you want to get a whole-home, automatically kicked in generator, you need to get it installed professionally. I expect it's going to be hard to go buy one from another state, transport it home (they're not small), and then find a company willing to install it (and risk something going wrong and being held accountable).

Agree. And if he said "dating" it would have implied something different.

Worse yet you are starting down 32k in medical bills vs a very small probability of certain death. Worse because this will make some people roll the dice and lose.

Pretty sure he meant carbon emissions, but technically you are correct, "steel" is a mixture of iron and a relatively small amount of carbon. As far as I know (but I am not an expert) there are not many applications for elemental (pure) iron.
It requires you to be your own DM, it never says anything you do is illegal you can do whatever you want like spawn a deer to pet etc.

I agree that it isn't really a game, in a game your actions has consequences, they don't here as nothing you do limits what you can do in the future. It would need to create a world with rules and limitations where what you can do now depends on what state the world is in.
Wait, weren't both Starcraft and Dota getting very good AI results a few years ago by deepmind's alphastar and openAI respectively, IIRC they had some competitions with world champions? And I believe for the purpose of generalization and research they intentionally made the problem harder by using the visual render/representation instead of obvious technical simplifications of just taking the game state as any normal game bot would do.

I mean, playing well is obviously not a goal for making the AI for a single-player mode or a bot for a multi-player game; the goal there is to play in an entertaining way, and the optimal system probably is one that is simple, easy to test, and is beatable in a manner that's fun for the players. Probably the only niche (very narrow!) where you would actually want near-optimal AI is for making a "sparring partner" for training e-sports players.
It has most everything I want. 16:10 and Ryzen? Yes! I only have a few complaints:

- Only 2 USB ports?!

- Key-press depth too shallow

- Missing explicit physical left and right buttons on the touch pad

I feel like every manufacturer is just trying to build the same laptop now. There's not enough variety to hit the feature set I want. If I wanted a MacBook I'd just buy a MacBook. Is there no room in the market for a good laptop with plenty of ports, a great keyboard, and physical buttons?
Uber will adjust these bills. I once was driving for Uber or maybe Lyft and got trapped in the middle of San Francisco Bay Bridge because of police shooting ahead. My customers were stuck with me for several hours. Support adjusted their bills.
I'm sure the comment meant "cars", not "cans". However, my old gas can from more than 20 years ago worked perfectly fine. But as for any one I've acquired over the last couple decade, I can't use them fill my lawn mower (or my car gas tank) without spilling gas all over the place. The valves built into the spout can only open when you tip the can upside down and put pressure from the spout onto the tank, and for whatever reason it ends up spilling all over. And I'm not the only one who has complained about this. Big improvement in safety there, when gas ends up all over the ground instead of in the designated tank.
Also true.

I would be open to an attempt at uniform licensing agreements, or some kind of regulatory approval on the licensing arrangements with comparative licenses considered.
> but futile

Try it sometime before quitting in advance.

I get informed all the time on HackerNews that I cannot negotiate certain things. But I can, and do it all the time. All these futile attempts are not so futile at all.

For example, I've negotiated price with doctors and dentists. I negotiate with auto shops. I negotiate with employers. I negotiate with department stores.

I used to think like you. Then I had a friend from Iran. He'd haggle everything with everyone. I was shocked he did that. I was further shocked at how successful he was at it! And so I learned.

P.S. There's nothing more mutable than a policy that some business will tell you is non-negotiable. It's all negotiable.
Jira also has momentum. I've advised at least a dozen places on, or moving to Jira (I was in for a different project but watched it). The reasons I heard were: new CTO had it at the old place, waits it here; and everyone uses it. Many of those startups also didn't have a Jira expert and soon got tangled in workflow automation that mostly got in the way for small, growth phase companies.
It's not the keyboard itself but the software implemented that allows users to type this fast by predicting the order that you intended to hit keys allowing you to press all the buttons in "hello" at the same time, the fact it translates the ambiguous keypress into a dictionary word is the assistance.

It's clearly "cheating" in the context of a typing competition.
First thing: communicate. Whatever you wrote down here, sit down and go over it with your boss. Also ask him what's worrying him. Obviously what's keeping him up at night (maybe even literally) isn't matching what you're doing.

Second, some small tips that will probably help any junior:

- It's not college anymore. We don't do assignments. You don't work for your boss, you work with your boss. You both have the some goal, albeit some difference in roles and responsibilities. Therefore treat your boss like a co-student and not the professor. That means: get frequent feedback, make sure there is a common understand of the goal that is in sight and the steps you (both) have taken to reach that goal. Essentially treat your boss like a peer, but with a different role. In a healthy organization this is appreciated.

- The next thing that is different from college is that in the working life no one cares how you got where you are. You are not getting graded. That means cut to the case. Basically there's a three step approach you need to take every day that will help you get to seniority pretty quickly if you master it:
1. Explain the current situation ("so we want to build this feature for customer X because blabla ...").
2. Explain the problem in the current situation ("... but our platform isn't ready for it yet and we want it to ship it next month ...")
3. Then the magic part: give your boss options and avoid open-ended questions. Don't ask him what to do, but rather present him with a few options on how we can proceed, and ask for his input (" ... I think we can solve this in the following 3 ways: <list them>. I think we should go for A given XYZ, what do you think?")

- The third thing you need to remember is that need to be visible. Transparency is key. That means sharing your current('s team) status, even if nothing's changed. Never go underground for longer than 2 days without anyone knowing what you're doing. You might think you're doing something amazing but it's a huge red flag you're wandering off in the wrong direction if no one's what amazing stuff you're working in and why it's important. You can easily achieve this by scheduling a short recurring meeting (maybe there is one already, then use it).
Obviously it depends on your goals and the context. Both specificity and generality are useful. To ban one is foolishness. They coalesced into short words for a reason: people use them, a lot.
I love this article. It feels like an articulation of the past 5 years of my life. Even the introduction to it mirrors what's going on with me the past year.

I certainly have periods of time where I doubt what I'm doing, where I wonder if I have what it takes to see my vision through. Articles like this help me to clear my head and keep going, and they're the primary reason I spend time perusing this site.
how is ipv6 addressing not worse than DNSes? Like you move to a different house and suddenly your ipv6 address gets lost?

Perhaps your argument is around DNS spoofing or something but domain names feel pretty non-controversial for most usecases, especially for the fediverse, which is about federation. There's an expectation of multiple multi-user services being the norm!

I started losing my hair at 16. Minoxidil worked, like really well. I grew back robust hair at the bald spots. But I needed to apply it 2x a day and not exercise/shower for at least 4 hours after application. This did not work for my lifestyle. I stopped using it by the time I went off to college. Finasteride wasn't available at the time, and maybe would have been a better option. I did all right in the dating pool after 30, but my 20s were rough. All I would say to my younger self is: you have every reason to consider this a big deal, but at the end of your life (and even by the time you are 40), you will consider losing your hair to be a very very very minor thing.

We can exchange truisms all day ;) But that doesn't change the fact that in my experience specificity related to gender pronouns is needed (or even helpful) only in a very tiny minority of everyday contexts.

For the record, my native tongue is much more gendered than English (it has gendered nouns, verbs and adjectives; not just pronouns) - I don't understand how it's useful at all, I don't miss it in English.

> You don't have to be loyal to your team, of course, but your framing makes me think that you've never been in a position where you've wanted to be loyal to your team, long-term.

I'm sure such places exist, but most jobs are not like that, sadly.

In any case, there's a difference between want and should. I'm not criticizing people who want to be loyal to the team. Just those that think there is an obligation to.
My elderly mother has deteriorated to be entirely dependent on carers and bed-bound, I wish we could be merciful and let her die but UK law (apparently) requires she either be starved to death - which the medics have told us is a painful, horrible death - or be kept alive, with every intervention below surgery. It's vile.

She let go, they installed a feeding tube and ensured she couldn't die with what little dignity remained at the time.

She came back, in body, but rapidly lost what little of her self that remained. But now she lies in bed her life forcibly extended each day; completely devoid of a life, and hopefully devoid of cognition.

Frankly, it is inhumane.
The specs are fine but the connectivity is horrendous especially that there is still a new generation of AMD notebooks coming out without thunderbolt support.

Paul Pignon Interview (Radio Belgrade Electronic Music Studio)[video]
The alternatives offered in the article don't seem well thought out.

My parents house, in a somewhat rural (but not THAT rural) part of California had a power outage that lasted from Christmas into this year (and the power is still going out sporadically).

The straightforward solution is to buy a generator for $1-$2k and use it sparingly to keep the heat running and maybe the lights and a computer.

The solution offered here is to get solar panels (which cost maybe $20-30k after the tax credit) and a Tesla Powerwall for another $10k. But if it snows hard enough to take out their power lines, I can't imagine that the solar panels will perform well. So they'd be spending 20-40 times more money on a solution that won't work as well (and that's before going into location specific problems, like the giant trees that would block the panels, some of which are on other people's property)
Any chance of this becoming supported in VSCodium?
I’ve become quite a Ryobi fanboy after several years with many of their 18V and 40V battery-powered tools. They always have quite enough power to do the job, and are exceptionally easy to maintain. I had one of my batteries go bad once and Home Depot simply swapped it out for a new one.

I see this law as a nudge in that direction, and I think that is generally viable as these devices are well into mainstream adoption.

I agree with the article that the generator point is mostly scaremongering. Having survived a collective month worth of days without power in northwest winters without a generator I’m skeptical of the average Californian’s need for one. I’m certain there are good use cases for them and as the article and comments here are clear: they aren’t being taken away. In fact, they are commonplace, and likely to be hoarded by people who won’t use them for years at a time, then wonder how to plug them into their house when they need to use them lol. Commercial backup power generation aren't considered SORES and aren’t even that dirty since they need to be efficient.

I can’t help but hear faint echos of outage about seatbelt mandates in these diatribes.
