- A small e-book or online course for software engineers to learn woodworking. Working title "Burnout to Burn Box: How to quit tech and start woodworking"

- I'd also like to create a software/hardwood shop where workers can choose to do either software engineering or woodworking any given day, but that will take more than a garage shop. You'd only need experience in one discipline to get started. Working title "Bits to Bits Studio". I'd also like to have a small coffee shop in the front to display finished goods.

- I'd also like to start a community woodshop on Lopez Island to help islanders learn skills and start their own company.
Worth noting that most microwave ovens are made by two companies (only one, in the US), other than some high-end models.

Python library to generate list of potential typo squatting domains
“Feature branch hosted in a separate repository” is a very good way of putting it.
"Reason" about it -- typography is art. There are many issues that started around when GUI word processing started. For example -- the "spring space" is simply gone. As is the "set indent to current (horizontal and vertical)". Kerning tables are pretty much gone (we used to have kerning by size/font font/combinations. This has not been simple. But typography is, basically, dead.

I have given up "teaching typography".
Irrespective of its economic merits, any policy which depends on a competent and upright Congress does not inspire confidence. It feels like it's bound to be one of those "True MMT Hasn't Ever Been Tried (TM)" things.

To be fair, at least for your example, you'd need a really long chain of incompetent actors to kill off wheat.

We should really be scared of the lone and bored grad student making a wheat killer and accidentally dropping the test tube.

The fed was able to maintain a functioning economy without major disruption in essentials (i.e. there weren't major shocks in being able to buy food or maintain housing) despite shutting down or significantly modifying large sections of the economy for a significant time.

They aren't "trapped" this is the natural and expected consequence of creating a lot more money to sidestep a temporary condition. Considering the US is the strongest-ish economy in the world and the rest of the world had to do the same thing, there shouldn't be terrible consequences as long as nobody does anything really stupid.

Bitcoin, gold, and anti-fed fanboys have a tendency to have a poor understanding at best of global economics with very basic misunderstandings like thinking that bumping the rate bumps the rates of all previous bonds.

Some people who do advocate for those things do know what they are talking about and can argue valid points which are up for discussion, but you don't actually see those very often.

Monetary policy in the US has made major mistakes, but it has been doing a pretty good job, and importantly has avoided the worst kinds of disaster for a long time. What it did during covid was essentially the only option, what a gold standard economy would have been able to do would have led to much worse outcomes.

People will complain about anything. The HN crowd generally overestimates its expertise in matters not related to startup tech (i.e. physics, engineering, economics posts often have pretty awful comments)
I keep these things in the back of my mind when talking about economic theories:

- an economist is someone who can tell you today why he was wrong yesterday.

- the central bank of Sweden made up an award in the honor of Nobel. Twice the recipient made a point to remind people economic theory is not an exact science.
If anybody was confused by the title:

Vectorizing usually refers to compilers (or people) re-writing code taking advantage of vector instructions (like AVX, SSE).

What the author did is more commonly reffered to as embedding by the ML community.

So, a better title would be: Generating embeddings for the Code of Federal Regulations.

As much as people hate on systemd. It’s pretty easy to use and having a bunch of system services designed to interop nicely is great. I use systemd-boot, systemd-networkd, systemd-timers (instead of cron), logind and I’m interested in checking out systemd-homed at some point. Having a systemd component to manage creds would be nice.

But, that is what they say:

> [T]he Office will not register works produced by a machine or mere mechanical process that operates randomly or automatically without any creative input or intervention from a human author.

This is a clash between the marketing BS that is contemporary "AI" and reality. "AI" is either sentient, or it's a human tool. The copyright office is requiring that people cut the BS and concede that just because you have particularly complicated tool, doesn't mean it's not just a tool.

It's like someone attempting to register a book copyright to a typewriter, the Copyright Office rolling their eyes, and responding: "Well, smart ass, if the typewriter wrote it, then it's ineligible."
Can you explain why would DNS be limited to Web ?

It's kind of strange to me to see Futurological Congress and e.g. Fiasco from the other responses being advised as standalone novels (maybe it has something to do with the history of Lem's English translations).

I'd instead advice to read the whole Ijon Tichy cycle starting from Star Diaries (which are pretty similar to Cyberiad in style), and the whole Pilot Pirx cycle starting from the Pirx Stories.
Perhaps the developer should have discussed their ideas before investing their time, if they're going to be upset about their unsolicited code being rejected.

For all practical purposes, it is literally infinite. You won't be able to go through the entirety of YouTube in a single lifetime, and that's just one channel of distributed knowledge. And new channels appear every day, somewhere on the global network. The firehose will never stop, the network is effectively an infinite source of content.

> what about the cited evidence that, correcting for other factors

I think the evidence is flimsy that "the other factors" can realistically be corrected for. In terms of access to resources, networking chances, free time etc etc, the aristocrats of the past would have been effectively unbeatable regardless of education methods. They could have powered through the infamous 10,000 hours in a couple of years, without any tutoring, to then spend the rest of their lives getting recognised as geniuses by a minuscule audience of a few hundred individuals - whose opinion determined everybody else's view of them, effectively unchallenged.

Fail to understand fedora's motives here other than censorship
I seem to recall that France used to do this -- create money for government spending, taxed money ceases to exist, no need for government debt. But I can't find anything about it, and I don't know if I'm just not using the right search terms.

Has this been put into practice in large countries before?
Deno has a standard library that wants to be 'batteries included' so you don't have nonsense like a third party package for left padding a string (deno supports string padStart natively for this for example).

Huh? Clearly this entire topic is a meta-topic. I have no particular axe to grind at the moment.

Well, I'm not the one regularly calling anyone I disagree with a Nazi Sympathizer. I'm not sure I've ever needed to, because the actual nazi sympathizers tend to be pretty explicit and proud of their views, and easy to avoid. People are free to lob that around labels like that if they want, but it's going to result in me not taking them seriously. To me, when I hear someone being called a "nazi sympathizer" I just assume that means "I really dislike that person"; which is very unfortunate in a boy-who-cried-wolf sense because I absolutely would like to know who the true nazi sympathizers are.

Higher rates won’t impact US as much as they will impact emerging economies. Those countries will face food crisis in addition to rapidly rising debt costs. Keep an eye on this because we are on cusp of civil unrests across the globe.
I suggest cultivating a sense of shared ownership. The author is trying to do that, which is great, but it seems like it's not there yet.

That's true of open source as well as proprietary development. Do you want other engineers to constantly contact you because you're "the $feature guy"? Or customers to do so?

No, you want a process and a team/community.

> The only thing that everyone agreed on here is how equally uninformed they themselves are.

There are a lot (if not most) of comments here where the commenter clearly doesn't hold that position.
Empirically, many people seem to be willing to believe deranged conspiracy theories about Jews. That doesn’t mean those theories are correct or credible in any objective sense, but the risk is exactly that people might believe or take seriously those claims.

The thing is, if you really want to prevent antisemitic violence, censorship is not going to help. If someone claims that the Jews rule the world, you can argue, “so why did the Jews end up on the wrong side of the Shoah” and if they claim the Shoah didn’t happen, you bring out all the documentary evidence that it did happen. If censorship is on the table, the anti-Semite can—as he does in many countries already—censor all of the documentary evidence that demonstrates the barbarity of his position.

> in a first world country ... I’d estimate $50/hr is the floor

That's $100K/yr, well above the median.

My pricing strategy is to start with your needs. $50/hr might be reasonable, but it varies by person and life circumstances.

Figure out how much time it takes to produce the second (or later) work product. Do some hand wavy math over the amortization of research, design, and first product over the quantity you could produce in a few months, if that was your only product. This will be a larger factor in new work than in iterations on previous work.

You now have a selling price, which the market may or may not bear. This can be tested, and you can use the results to inform your decision on whether to continue production. Most of this can be estimated early in the design phase.

My premise is that starting from anywhere else (COGS, market price) and working backwards to compute valuation of your time is .. well .. backwards.

Accepting a temporary, or introductory, devaluation is reasonable.

Just know what your targets are, so you know when things are not working.
YLE: Support for NATO membership rises to 62% in Finland
You're wrapping your two Text components with a Stack component which lays out its children vertically, and you're explicitly specifying that Stack uses zero space between each of its children. This doesn't have anything to do with Thai characters specifically. The glyphs already overlap with common English characters like "j" and punctuation like commas. Moreover, you can get glyphs to overlap between two lines of a normal HTML element with line-height: 1 (and obviously even more easily with line-height less than 1).
>the last American president was a right wing racist Nazi

If you go and ask the actual Nazis (or NatSocs as they prefer) they'll tell you they don't like him because he was not a right wing racist Nazi. CivNat maybe (but if he really is he toned it done a lot to pander to minorities) certainly not a Nazi.
I can think of one powerfully compelling reason: wishful thinking.
Yeah no doubt about this. But its also important to remember we've been doing this non stop since 2008 minus a few months in 2018. So this is a multi president, both parties are involved in continuing this train.

Totally agree. Typography is similar to grids in the same way.

As a design it's tempting to set up "a perfect grid" so your life will be easier and everything will look great. But it's often better to know how and why grids work, and then create more informal layouts intuitively.
My understanding is that this risk is overstated. BeO dust can be dangerous, but new microwaves no longer use it as an insulator, and the amount of dust which is likely to be produced by breaking the insulator in older microwaves (rather than deliberately grinding it to a powder) is minimal.

Unpredictable Minting – Methods and Algorithms
It’s pretty easy to look at North Korea, Cambodia, or Eastern Europe during the Cold War and say “hmm, it’s worth going to extreme lengths to prevent this from happening elsewhere”. That may have been misguided in many instances, but the basic motivation is sound. Characterizing the situation as “overthrowing democratic governments in favor of brutal dictators” is a vast oversimplification if not outright wrong at least in many cases.

Certainly, there is inflation. There isn't full employment.
War in Ukraine will have a much larger effect. Something like ~25% of global wheat supply comes from Ukraine and Russia. There won't be any planting to speak of in Ukraine this spring. And Russian wheat is pretty much off the world market.

I wouldn't trust an IdP-based SSO login for any critical service that I need continuous access to, unless I control the IdP.

All those stories like "Google blocked my account without recourse and don't answer tickets anyway" have put me off. I lost editing rights to a Google My Business profile that I was the sole owner of, because they gave third party input precedence over the owner's own entered data (opening times of all things) then locked the ability to update it, so I know loss of control over one's own account isn't that rare with Google.

It's not just Google. So I trust my domain provider more than I trust any third party SSO, because I believe I have legal ownership of domains in case all else fails. I don't seem to have equivalent rights over SSO accounts at any third party. So, for now until something better is available, email-based accounts are a must-have for any critical service.

- David Fravor and his colleagues, are highly credible witnesses of something they observed visually.

- This is certainly a very interesting interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIUBjvY4PnQ

- There are visual observations, and what are, ( by military standards), flimsy short images/video.

- This analysis partially explains one part of it, without excluding the presence of an object.

- There is also Radar data, but it has not been published or time correlated to the reported visual observations.

Observations:

- These Aliens only seem to want to goof around with folksy US pilots.

- Pilots known to simulate UFO sightings, fans of UFO invasion stories and stories of Russians shooting UFO's and getting shot back. ( watch the interview...).

- These Aliens show up exclusively during their training time and with sightings restricted to areas with US carrier groups exercises.

Also...

- The Aliens don't show up with their "Tic Tac's" or seem to be interested on the Ukraine conflict.

- They don't care about EU or Latin America citizens...

- Don't want to play around with the Russian or Chinese Air Force.

- They don't show up in the data of any of the existing Military satellites capable of reading a bus ticket on the ground from 400 km.

- These Aliens don't show up in the observations of the
thousands of professional and amateur astronomers,
that scan the sky a total of thousands of hours every
night, using some of the most exquisite optical instruments available.

I would say: They either don't exist, or if they do, they are pretty dumb and we have nothing to fear.
if the aliens don't annihilate us, maybe they'd be willing to teach us some physics?

Sorry but padStart/padEnd are part of EcmaScript 2019 (or near that year). Deno did not implement it. (AFAIK)
In that case honestly anything worth talking about from a civic sense, there are already facebook groups and change.org and just general forums. Not sure what this is adding beyond that. Is it the web app which is special here?
