Every time I call a plumber it's a least 600 USD. I have learned to do many things myself such as rebuild the innards of toilets, repair broken drain pipes, install sinks and new drain lines, but some things are too much for me (don't have the time, tools or knowledge).

I just had an old 2 inch steel drain pipe descaled ($600) because it was causing the washing machine to backup and overflow. I had had it power cleaned/jetted before (several times) but that did not work. The rust corrosion had constricted the pipe to about 1.25 inches. Descaling seems to have really opened it up.

I used to hate drywall. It would get wet and need replacing after plumbing problems, but I recently came to realize that as messy and time consuming as drywall is to replace, it's a good thing because it allows you to spot water leaks early and absorbs a lot of water. A more water resistant surface would hide the problem and only allow it to grow much bigger before someone noticed it. If you have enough space, drop ceilings are the best thing since sliced bread.

Also, when you are not using your washing machine, turn the water off at the wall. That will prevent a washer water line bursting (while everyone is at work) and ruining an entire room/floor of the house. And when you buy replacement water hoses for your sinks and washing machine, buy the best you can afford and replace them every 3 to 5 years. You'll save yourself a lot of money and trouble by doing this.

If you ever own a house, you'll learn to fear and respect water (and chipmunks) more than anything else.
Very ironic that the USSR ended up forcing most people into state-chosen jobs. I think it's nice to think of some ideal future where everyone works on what they want to work on but society needs people to do the dirty work that nobody wants to do. Janitor, garbageman, sewer maintenance, warehouse worker, etc. A lot of Marx's ideas are just ideas, not anything that could ever be realized in the real world.

What a bunch of bunk.

This is saying that VARK method of describing learning styles is incorrect. This does not necessarily mean that there aren't differences in what are the best method's for different people learn. One issue with VARK is that it involves self-identification, as was the case in all studies mentioned in the video. There's no reason to assume that the way people prefer to learn is actually the best way for them to learn, it may be that people choose what seems right to them rather than what actually is. Another issue is, as is mentioned in the video, the domain you are studying also has an affect and multi-modal approaches are most useful. Whether learning styles exist or not, some information intrinsically is better presented as a diagram than a wall of text. And no matter if some people learn better in certain ways, it seem universally true that people learn better if information is presented to them in multiple forms instead of just one.

Which is all interesting, but mostly just disproves VARK and similar approaches to describing differences in how people learn. There are still so many different ways to teach someone something, they're just much more holistic ways of teaching than the simple VARK split. That some people learn better from X course of teaching and others learn better from Y course of teaching still seems likely to me(admittedly, just pulling from personal experience and the anecdotes of others on that ). That we don't have a neat way to categorize that might just mean it's too messy to do so, or could mean we just haven't figured out the right way to look at it yet.

It doesnt point out that Tesla makes "a tonne of money but just not in the US", it says that "There could be two explanations".

One being that Tesla is using the standard robber-baron corporate practice of structuring its business in ways that income is reported from overseas. It would be pretty great if this investigative journalist did the first part in that title and reported this information.

The second possibility that is reported is that Tesla has been losing money at home, turning profits only after it has outsourced some manufacturing to China, where mfg scaling happens in nearly every industry. This is what gp is responding to and is in the article.

What you describe is straight up not what the journalists are suggesting happened.

This story isn't about Tesla doing an irish dip or whatever its called, it is for sure about the US Tax code and how it services the global "Prisoner's Dilemma" of taxation, billionaire income, and manufacturing. The title of the article can be shortened to: "Musk paid income tax and Tesla didn't."

I would answer at the meta-level - pick the framework in the language you know best.

If you are already fluent in Python, use Django. PHP; Laravel? Etc. The benefit of using the “best” CRUD tool (if there even is one) is far less than the cost of learning a new language these days.

When Rails first came out, it was so much better than anything else that it was worth it to learn Ruby just to use that toolchain. Nowadays, the gap has closed for the simple use-case.

You can run Django/Rails & Postgres on Heroku with approximately zero infra burden. I still have a trivial app I last touched ten years ago and it’s still up and serving traffic.

This is exactly why I can't bring myself to put anything on any blockchain, no matter how anonymous it claims to be. I assume that someone will end up finding a flaw. When that happens, I may as well have been broadcasting everything without any security and privacy mechanisms at all. Not only can the person who's broken it see my history, anyone who knows the flaw can.

I realize that things get leaked from centralized services, but there's a barrier to seeing that info. You put yourself at legal risk if you download one of those leaks and get caught. But there's no such risk with a public blockchain since the data was intended to be received by anyone who wants it.

Funny you should mention that...

The "no" campaign said "Next they will come for your cervelas" (cervela = the Swiss version of a hot dog, highly processed meat which is considered a sacred cultural icon).

There are no humans with three or more arms. Most humans have two arms. A few humans have one or zero arms. Thus, the mean/average number of arms should be between 1.9 and 2.0 but surely less then two.

That's the point of proof of work: longest chain wins.

Yes in a netsplit you can spend on both chains, but you would need access to both chains to do so. And you don't even ever have to merge them again, there could just be AmericanBTC and RussianBTC from here on out.

>> I've seen somewhere that "everyone learns differently" might not actually be true.

Even if we assume that people all learn the same way, good learning integrates new facts or concepts into ones pre-existing mental model of the world. Not everyone has the same mental model - of this I am certain. Sometimes new information just hangs on the existing model, and sometimes the existing model needs to be updated. This can make the process seem like everyone learns differently, since different explanations can make more or less sense depending what's already in their head.

On top of that, I think some people have (maybe inherently) very different abilities in things like visualization, memorization, vocabulary, etc... So yeah, I think everyone learns differently even if at some neuronal level it's all the same.
Compilers are biased, among other things, towards:

- Having a rich, complicated internal model (and having minimal contact with external data; mostly just the code being ingested)

- Recursion

- Being stateless (at the top level anyway; code goes in code comes out)

- Having an enormous amount of semi-regular code (favoring macros and related features)

- Dispatch/polymorphism among very broad type groups (favoring enums and ways of discriminating enums)

Not that any of these things are bad to support in any given language, but every language is a big bag of trade-offs, and focusing on compilers might cause you to choose certain tradeoffs that aren’t as relevant to the way the language will typically be used later on

No specific judgements on Rust (in fact, Rust has ended up seeing a lot of use for compilers and compiler-adjacent projects), just something I’ve been thinking about in general

"That dude" is the person who created it, so he would know. And if you knew him at all or followed Rust's development at all or even just read some of his comments on reddit when this topic comes up, you'd know that you were wrong: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/450zy7/comment/czuixj...

The other interesting thing about ports is when you release it, it's not available again for some period of time like 60? 30? seconds.

Because this isn't math: an overtensioned wheel will break for sure, and will do so violentely, a properly tensioned wheel (which is a pretty wide range, as long as you keep the tension consistent between all spokes) will do just fine and an undertensioned wheel will eventually go out of true, which is a pretty good sign that something isn't ok. If you keep cycling after that point you only have yourself to blame.

Overtensioning is actually pretty easy, and I've seen more than one wheel respoked by novices that were overtensioned to the point that they were simply dangerous (because when one spoke goes the wheel will immediately respond and if you're unlucky it could even break).
This was the one site that helped me get the Hackers (1995 movie) references and culture and made it real. It was freeing to be able to pursue your passions and be seen for what you say and do instead of whatever social, religious or ethnic group or box you were put in and to also know and connect with others that shared a similar interest.

Unfortunately, those days are gone. It wasn't profitable for the powers that be to not be able to divide us by demographic groups, nationality and associations. How else could we be good little consumers and "voters". Forget free and critical thinking, these days, outside of rare sites like this I can't find anyone that hasn't fallen down some youtube or facebook rabbit hole. They all talk in propaganda. To the point where I don't even care what they think, I just try to get them to ctiticize or disagree with the propaganda they have fallen for even a little.

The old internet was cool but I also get that nostalgia isn't accurate. Most communities were very unwelcoming and hostile (anti-women,racist,bullying,etc...) but that was just people being naturally shitty. I had some of the best interactions and learned from people that would never get along with me IRL.

I think a lot of these hackers or their modern successors moved to twitter. Very unfortunate since clout and acceptance is all that matters there. It means you more or less have to communicate in a public arena where even if you take measures to be anonymous all the cool hackers now use their real names and are forced and force others back into our social cages. Back to speaking in politically conformant speech and to being seen as a label or group instead of as an individual.

But that's the world, can't stop change.

This article had a fun, enjoyable writing style, thanks!
I think it's much, much more common in the world of software to build things that either no one uses, or fades out pretty quickly.

There's a world of difference between taking a week to ship a new button to Chrome at Google (low impact, but at least high visibility) and creating a project from scratch over the course of months for it to be killed off by or not work out for the stakeholders (no impact AND no/low visibility). This happens with most projects.

On the other hand, building or fixing something physical you know that at least you're solving a real problem for someone, and it will probably last them a while.

Software is constantly churning and evolving precisely because such evolutions are not limited by tools, materials, or constraints of the physical world. Way better for creativity, but rarely leaves us devs feeling proud of the work we've done
The intended use for Rust was to write a browser engine. So the point still stands.
I like the Ripley novels too and I agree with you that reading her as a "gay icon" is detrimental. I was commenting on her personality and eccentricities and I would avoid reading those into her books.

> Mostly those movies miss the main point of the character: he's egocentric, manipulative and ultimately sleeps like a baby without any guilt whatsoever once he's done murdering whoever stops him from that. All the tension in the books is about avoiding getting caught, which usually leads to additional victims. Not very compatible with the average Hollywood movie of course but it makes for an interesting anti hero.

I read Tom as a rebuttal to Crime and Punishment.

As far as the adaptations, Ripley's Game is my favorite. Malkovich gets so many good lines. Purple Noon is pretty good too (Alain Delon is great) though the ending is weak.

Indeed, in the same way baby formula is under lock and key.
One theory I’ve heard (I think from Yegge?) is that Google’s internal tooling is so good at dealing with breaking changes that they’re too cavalier about introducing them.
No it isn't. And yes it is. And it is supposed to break your expectations. And to sooth you. And great art is great because authoritative institution declared it as such.

And, and, and...

There are so many different definitions of what art is, that I find it funny that now trigger warnings are a danger to art.

One could say, that great art doesn't care for trigger warnings. I expect for example Joseph Beuys would not have cared. Or Franz Kafka.

Or a myriad other artists.

So short version: I don't buy into the premise of the article.

> This is what the Odroid Go was

I have one and it's a really nice piece of hardware that runs lots of games at native speed. Thanks to being an open platform, I'll probably turn it into some sort of WiFi terminal or else. For sure it won't collect dust in a drawer like many closed devices do when they become old.
The Arduboy seems a nice little device, however at that price it is less appealing than say the Odroid Go Advance which has much powerful hardware but costs only $5 more.
I wonder if they could axe the costs even further by not making the entire device but only a board with buttons, display and battery charging circuitry, which could host one of those cheap ATmega32u4 boards.

Yes. The other confusing thing about CORS is that CORS is not a protection against anything, but rather a way to UN-protect (in a restricted fashion) the browser's "same origin policy". Same Origin Policy is the protection, and CORS is the way to allow the browser to poke a hole through that in a limited fashion (only for the domains that the original site you visited say it should allow).
Totally possible. Running Prosody on Debian 11 Host including coturn and also running mumble and still 250MB free RAM of 512MB.
That's a great critique of my definition. I don't think people are manipulative by withholding private or personal information. Withholding relevant information isn't manipulative in certain contexts either: i.e. those where all parties agree that there is no expectation of transparency. So, we could either argue that 1) deception implies that there is a reasonable expectation of disclosure, or 2) update the definition to explicitly say "...withheld information when there is a reasonable expectation of disclosure..."

For example, if I invest in a publicly traded company, I expect the company to be honest on their quarterly filings, but I don't expect to have access to all of their financials. If a company withholds pertinent information because they don't want to impact the stock price, that is manipulation. If they withhold the same information honestly believing it isn't significant to the stock price, that's not manipulation (though it may be incompetence).

Another example: If I target financially illiterate people with predatory loans, that is often manipulative. I'm deliberately targeting people who I wouldn't expect to be able to analyze repercussions of the loan, and I'm lying when I say it will be positive.

If I target financially illiterate people and give them credit cards that I believe are within their means, then I'm not being manipulative - even if some of those folks default or their lives are made worse by the loan.
Why is the president responsible for how the economy goes? To me it seems like one of those things that's easy to mess up but hard to improve. It's also the result of a lot of interactions, so blaming or crediting the president seems unfounded.
How does that work? If I make a new wallet and get coins sent to 0xAAAA and then I buy something and send them from address 0xBBBB, how do the miners validating the transaction know that 0xBBBB has any coins available to send?
