I haven’t thought about that much yet. I’ve tracked it here for it to be discussed: https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/10

> do you plan support for sections / nested sections?

I think that would be cool and useful, but I need to play around with that more. There is already a ticket for it: https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/2

I think that’s similar to the priorities:

Not arguing against all unions here, but I think saying all companies don't have our interests in mind is a bit hyperbolic. Many software engineers and product managers at places like Alphabet and Meta are treated extremely well, make great salaries in the bay area, and (at least pre pandemic) were catered to with many great benefits (including catering). There are some jobs/places where this isn't the case, but many silicon valley developers have a fairly symbiotic relationship with their employers.

A union is much less likely to allow a company to use the cheapest health plan possible. So their purview is larger, as they need to ensure their members have access to basic benefits other countries provide “as right” regardless of union membership.

This means the cost, to the company, of using union labor is even higher, but also that more of the union’s money and energy is spent dealing with healthcare as opposed to ensuring safe workspaces or wage sharing or PTO or other labor concessions.
It's unfair to point weakness without argument. If you could elaborate your point, that'll be enlightening..
No, it speaks to what Mearsheaimer is saying which is essentially - don't be surprised if you threaten Mike Tyson and he punches you in the face. And if some 3rd party (ie the US) talked you into threatening Mike Tyson, understand that they also knew you were going to get punched in the face. Understanding that doesn't mean you support Mike Tyson, it just means you know how to understand consequences of messing with someone bigger and stronger than you.
No, I almost never look at prices for food. If there were no prices printed on food, it wouldn't change my shopping habits one bit. I do sometimes notice deals that are prominently displayed, like "50% off!" or "2-for-1!" and take advantage of that. If I'm ordering online instead of in-person, the grocery store's UI helpfully points out when there are coupons, and I'll use that. If it's something where I don't care at all what brand I get, I'll buy the store brand knowing that it's cheaper. But I never intentionally look at prices for the purpose of saving money. I don't know what a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread costs.

I know this is "privilege", but it's emphasizing my point, which is that these top AI engineers making 3-10x as much as me certainly aren't worrying about inflation.

I didnt know that gusto actually did that. Funny because at some point one of their heads of Engineering was hiring but told me they did not hire outside the US . Go figure.
Hey all! I've been using Colab and AI models to generate images + names + descriptions for fictional creatures on NovelGens all year and I kept noticing the images weren't quite what I was looking for whenever I had "drake" in the prompt. So I built a collection of the best ones for any fantasy fans out there looking for interesting pics of drakes and/or dragons (but mostly the former). Enjoy!
Admitting your total ignorance of the topic could be seen as progress. But I doubt it will keep you from announcing certainty again almost immediately.

They obviously meant speed is quantifiable. You can measure speed and say "you violated the limit".
I think parent comment is asking for a source for:

> All kinds of tumors have exploded in recent decades
> If there where better stable coins then presumably most people would use them

That's not true. Tradable instruments generally accrue network effects based on snowballing liquidity and trading pairs as a result of being first to market, not because of the instrument's superiority to another similar instrument. You can see this effect in the traditional markets with SPY and VOO. VOO is an all-around superior product (much lower expense ratio, better company structure), yet SPY has 20 times higher volume due to its liquidity, especially options liquidity. Likewise, USDC is an all-around superior product to USDT, yet USDT volume is much higher due to its liquidity, especially across smaller trading pairs.

I also want to point out that when you choose to measure by volume, you over-represent the people who trade through Tether rather than actually holding it for any length of time because they believe it's a sound holding. When you are actively speculating on moonshots like so much of this hyped up market is right now, USDT is the best stablecoin for you due to its high volume and liquidity, but when you're looking for a trustworthy stablecoin to hold onto long term, there are other stablecoins for that that have less volume.

Finally, it's surprising to me that you're now basing your argument on the premise that most cryptobros are rational, because that seems to run counter to everything you're trying to argue in this thread.
The National Review is very much on the respectable ideologically consistent side of the Usual Crowd (TM). (I mean, don't get me wrong, it's awful, but it largely has the courage of its convictions). Rest assured that, like, the Sun and Daily Mail and Spectator aren't going to be decrying this.
Likewise, Javascript wasn't the first attempt at embedding a scripting language into the browser (Netscape first tried to embed Java and Scheme).

I can't look very deeply into your link and see what the courses actually say, from here, so I'm not sure. I think you want to teach me to be better at pandas. That's fine and I learn pandas constantly, but not what I'm talking about. I want to mix in a different way of working with data, getting some of the best features of excel into the notebook workflow.

I also believe that getting to know your data means reading it in a grid, not just looking at aggregations. Both are important, and with aggregations you can miss important things! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
I've tried using foot pedals like this before but there were two issues which made it not work.

1. You need to keep the ball of your foot raised when not pressing the button, which leads to an ache super quick. And foot switches tend to be pretty tall. The actuation distance is also pretty large.

2. The fact your foot is raised messes up your sitting balance. And you need to keep your foot in the same place all the time: no spinning your chair, no leaning to the side, shifting your weight, etc.

I'd like to see a good foot input device. Maybe something attached to the foot?

2) They allow sellers to switch out products and leave the old reviews.
Isn't there a way to derive efficient/in-place interpretation from pure total recursive functions ?

reading lisp in small pieces, the author migrates interpreters from naive recursive eval to bytecode. It felt there was an underlying model to extract.
Private corporations no longer offer pension (i.e. defined benefit) plans, so if employees want a pension it's going to be managed by a union, assuming they even have a union. That's probably for the better because these days (as opposed to 70 years ago), unions will be far more responsible managers of a pension fund than corporations, partly because of stricter government oversight.

Some other countries have nationally managed pension funds. All the U.S. has is Social Security, a minimalist safety-net pension, and it's a heavy political lift just to maintain that, so I don't see things changing here.

Also, don't unions literally sit on the board of corporations in countries like Germany? The notion that U.S. unions have too much power just seems like a typically American spin on the efficacy of unions--a bias veiled as a criticism. There's a host of reasons unions aren't more prevalent in the U.S., and they feed back onto each other, but if you had to boil them all down, IMO it's because our culture is rather hostile to unions, and it's always been that way. Even at their peak popularity in early- and mid-20th century, mainstream unions (as opposed to the infamous Wobblies, which never had significant membership) were remarkably conservative as compared to their counterparts in Europe, reflecting the general culture.

It's not quite right to say that Posits don't have NaN. They have a NaR (not a real) value that's fairly similar. The simplification is that they don't have 2^52 of them, and don't have -0, Inf, -Inf, or the mess with subnormals (which are necessary but not always well supported). Also, NaR compares equal to itself, fixing one of the biggest bugs in floating point.
>It's even worse with the public unions. Since governments can theoretically keep raising taxes, there's no real limiting factor to how much the unions can demand.

Do a search on governmentjobs.com for a job title you're familiar with and decide whether the unions have been successful at bleeding the government dry via high salaries. My anecdotal experience: you need to get to one level below Chief where I work to draw a salary close to a FAANG programmer, union pay tops out at 150k.
Cases like this you really need to be extremely specific about what powerful means. I think a lot of left leaning folks could agree with such statements but made too broadly it can be taken a number of different ways.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone pro union who'd say unions have too much influence or sway in the lives of US citizens. Most workers don't have union representation and unions don't have much say in worker pay in a great majority of sectors. Especially where it could help like warehouse work which has seen wages plummet with the advent of Amazon.

Now, compare that to two unions which are extremely powerful and not always good for the public or their members!

1) Teachers unions. Extremely powerful (at least Oregon where I know about them), but they don't necessarily help teachers! Pay is low because they haven't flexed their power and are fully at the whim of taxes. Since their funding is low the most teacher's union can guarantee their workers is that they will have a consistent job. Which sucks! Also, when COVID occurred there was little room for teachers to get a say as to how classes would be virtual, when kids would be back in schools, or when and how the mask mandate would be lifted. Supposedly a union would help!

2) Police unions: super strong, extremely political, extremely effective. Also nigh impossible to fire a cop unless they offend their union or a fellow cop. Rarely do police budgets ever get cut or does cop pay go down. Do most folks want this? Do most people in New York want their police force to have a budget larger than military of a mid sized country? Probably not? But hey, they're too powerful to do anything about.
Yeah, I agree – as great as a separate file spec is, it’s only half the story without tools that provide useful functionality on top of it.

For my current purposes, it’s syntax highlighting that makes a big difference.
Why can private schools run perfectly fine without unions?
I'm not saying they are. I proposed using different labels for fields containing data types we treat as numbers and another for fields containing other strings, even if they only contain numerals and aren't really 'text.'

People writing HTML shouldn't need to know about data types— they're describing the semantics of data and not instructions for handling it. That the label number does not apply to the vast majority of input fields with number in their name— cc number, phone number, account number, etc.— is a naming failure. It's an implementation detail that opposes common usage and it should be changed.
posits can be also projected to m*2^e, just with larger m and e.
Just a phenomenal game. IMO, all the From Games are great, but none of them really matched up to the original Dark Souls... until now. I've literally played this every day since it came out, I have over 150 hours, and I still haven't beat it. And still I'm discovering cool new areas, items, and lore. The amount of times I've gotten to a new area and just gone "what in the actual fuck" is too many to count, it's just jam packed full of surprises and cool sights to see.

Of course, I think that "open world" is a pretty broad label at this point, as there are other open world games that are totally different from ER but just as good. For instance, Fallout 4 (survival). It doesn't have as good enemy variety, locations, or combat as ER, no question, but the questlines are a lot better, the settlement stuff is awesome, and the general level of interactivity makes it an experience just as immersive as ER.

But overall, for that type of "combat/exploration" focused open world game, ER absolutely takes the cake. I hope the BOTW sequel takes some inspiration, especially for the dungeons. But I do think Bethesda still rules for the "simulation" style open world games.
We had a more balanced court in the past. Thomas and Scalia were previously on the court's fringe, but now with Amy Coney Barrett the fringe is pushed to crazytown. Pair that with the conservative majority, and you have a recipe for partisan hackery.
If you look at CA, teachers aren't getting rich, but they're making decent wages at 9 months a year, with some fairly nice benefits depending on the size of the district and level they teach. We need to raise some of these numbers, but I suspect smaller schools are in more remote areas of California where it is certainly cheaper to live than say SF, or LA.

https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fr/sa/cefavgsalaries.asp

"The average salary of public school teachers in 2019–20 for the State of California was $84,531."

That averages out to be about 58 dollars an hour if we assume the teacher works 9 months out of the year with 20 working days per month or 180 days a year. This only includes summer, not winter breaks or spring break or other observed holidays, which is quite a few. Again, not a great number but certainly better than plenty of other folks.
The article mentions various RSA implementations that have had problems. The other thing is, since they do audits and are telling you to avoid RSA, the advice obviously isn't 'a properly audited RSA is fine'. "it's actually ok to use RSA" is not a reasonable conclusion to draw from this piece.
Oh, that guy. In the next video he admits his math was off.

There are cranes more than big enough to remove containers. The Left Coast Lifter, which was used to install some of the spans of the new SF Bay Bridge, is for sale.[1] That's far more crane than needed to lift a container. Look at that, and you'll see that there are machines big enough for the job. Available, even.

Smit Salvage was going to bring in cranes to unload the Ever Given, but didn't have to. They're on this job, and if they need the big cranes, they have access to them. It takes a small fleet - cranes, crane barges, container-carrying barges, tugboats, etc.

Somebody is going to have a huge salvage bill.
