Given how soldiers then (and still, largely, now) were young men in their late teens and early 20s... this doesn't sound unreasonable at all. I could sit on the couch and burn that off. Add in setting up camp, digging trenches, hauling heavy equipment through mud and snow? Totally realistic.
We switched 3 times with 0 downtime. Linode > Google > Azure > AWS. Chasing that sweet startup package at each place. We stuck with AWS.
Interesting. But I don't think I am always craving for dopamine, at least I'd like to believe that hehe.

I'm a kind of functional member of society, a bit introverted yes, but I'm able to do everything more or less normally. Some social anxiety, but I'm able to overcome it when I really need to, I can work and function normally and honestly I wouldn't like to take drugs or treatment if I don't need to. If I had ADHD it might be a very mild case.

Well, they thought of that; it's just as expensive out there too.

If you want a house and a job in this country, you have to go to Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba. BC has no land and is either mountain or agricultural land reserve (the second-largest city in the province has massive fields in the middle of it; average single family home price $1M). ON and QC are similarly boxed in for land (the Canadian Shield is very difficult to build on, and if you don't know French the only part of Quebec you can really go to is the Montreal area), and the Maritime provinces have land but no work.

The important thing to remember is that, unlike the US, the vast majority of Canadian land is much more difficult to inhabit- 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the border, because that's where the good land ends.
In almost every country the excess mortality is well above the official "Covid" death toll. They're undercounting, not overcounting.

Just because they ended up in the hospital for "other" reasons doesn't mean it wasn't Covid--someone we know recently lost her mother that way. Health issues that were under control--then they weren't. Coincidence that she tests positive after being admitted?? I don't think so!

There's also the reality that some people are clotting out in various fashions when they aren't nearly sick enough to warrant the hospital and thus likely aren't even tested. If the clot hits someplace quickly lethal (heart, brain, lungs) they end up in the morgue without ever being diagnosed.
> If I'm honest, their follow-ups make it seem like they never understood why the game was a success.

This sounds like a pretty simplistic reasoning to me. Do you really believe this?

The fact that your follow up game (or movie/book/album/painting) wasn't as successful as the previous one, doesn't mean you don't understand why the latter was a success. Understanding success and replicating it are two different things.

Btw, I like FFVIII more than FFVII.
If you have lots of short flights, with engines being shut down in between (typical general aviation profile), the overhaul limits on turbine engines work against you as you quickly ramp up start-stop cycles, whereas piston engines are limited only by time worked.
Canada used to be a really good place for foreign investment buying and renting/flipping houses pre-2008. My dad had around 50 properties in the Nova Scotia region just before the crash and the income from that was barely taxable (as a UK citizen, although I don’t remember specifics of how that worked). I can totally see why countries want to avoid foreign investment like that inflating local prices for citizens. Tbf he was renting them specifically to those with criminal records because most landlords used to have background checks, so there was a bit of a market, and it’s probably a little better than the general flipping price inflation.
Poll: What PR option would you prefer to review?
Consider that all options consists of exactly the same code change outcome.

Consider some reasonable average for lines of code changed by file that shouldn't affect your decision.

Consider that, for multiple PRs, each new PR can only be created after the previous is reviewed and merged.

Note that options with more PRs have less files changed per PR, but the total sum of the option is larger than an option with less PRs. This kind of assumes that in order to split a code change in multiple PRs you have to make some temporary changes that you will revert in later PRs (so more total changes than a single PR with the final desired outcome).

What's the "state of the art alternative" to address gender dysphoria in adolescents? Certainly the alternative to puberty blockers or hormones most often advocated is doing nothing.

The author makes some perfectly reasonable points about flaws in the study like the large and uneven number of dropouts from the study, likelihood of confounding factors in the nonrandom selection process and oddities in its construction to the extent I'm not sure the study itself can be used as firm evidence of anything, but his insistence that the treatment group not getting worse like the control group can't be evidence for it being beneficial isn't justified either.
I went to Animation school and learned on Indigo's and O2s for Maya and Softimage... ~1994 -> 1996

Years later when we were collapsing ILM into the new Presidio Campus, the amount of SGI full-rack sized machines being thrown into the trash was insane.

I believe they turned at least one into a keg-erator...

I could have had an opportunity to get one of the cabinets, but I didnt have a place to put it. Wish I had figured out a place to keep one.

The SGI cases were a thing of beauty.
Docusaurus maintainer here

The Docusaurus tabs use MDX, it's not a custom syntax for tabs, it's a powerful low-level way to use React or frontend interactive components in markdown, and likely to become more and more widespread (so hopefully portable and yet very powerful)

It's also possible to implement tabs with Rehype syntax in Docusaurus in user land thanks to a Remark plugin, so portability remains possible but not free.

At the end of the day, md is not the most powerful out of the box and it's difficult to ship something meaningful without any extension
Hah, you got me. Reddit content is efficient to browse (old reddit UI), has multiple POVs, and upvotes is a decent heuristic for determining answer quality.

Random websites on the other hand... If i'm looking for a recipe, why do I have to read several paragraphs about what you did last Tuesday? Anecdotal preambles are the worst.
The notion that lead was good for engines was always just propaganda. One of the main reasons engines last so much longer today than they once did is the lack of lead in the fuel. (Lubricants are better, too, but are also no longer damaged by lead contamination.)

General Motors, in originally promoting leaded gasoline, was aware of this at the time. They did not see reduced engine lifetime as a problem to be solved.
> In contrast, the life expectancy of whites fell by about a third of a year, mostly among white men.

"So what this tells us is that this continued decline in life expectancy that we see in the second year has been carried mainly by deaths in the white population," Woolf says.

It's unclear why this happened,

It shouldn't be. Over half of all gun related deaths are white males committing suicide. Link below. Suicides increased during Covid afaik.

Toss in an increase in drugs usage during the pandemic (which leads to OD death or suicide) and the gap in question is covered.

This is the sad reality of the pandemic. While many are giving lip service to mental health, it still doesn't have a seat at the table with traditional physical health. That is, too few are willing to think outside the established Covid narrative. Meanwhile, the collateral damage adds up, but the causes ignored.

>What's the benefit to shipping any empty KBs with every song purchased or streamed?

For (quicker) in-place metadata updates? You just said it. You can do so with the purchased music in iTunes.

Not sure about the streaming services, but the article isn't about it at all (nor did it talk about if they actually have these 500 KB padding to begin with).
Well, there are definitely shill accounts on reddit, but not enough to ruin the site. And the whole point of the site is to argue with people, so I guess it should be possible to, at least sometimes, tell if something is up.

Based on

I guess some folks are working on ruining the idea of specifically searching for Reddit, but their efforts are pretty transparent at this point.
Is there a setting in Customize to control whether to use init.el or .emacs for configuration? Trying to set symlinks from $HOME to another directory and it's fighting me...

You can use that argument to support the implication that everything might be dangerous.
I wonder how those trees communicated then. I am reading "the hidden life of trees" at the moment, which talks quite a bit about how trees communicate using fungi. The fungi benefit from this by receiving certain nutrients.
It does not make sense to me, best solution is to have an implementation like re2 that does not have those problems.

Adding a timeout is a bit strange, first because you don't know in advance how long it's going to take for large search. The timeout is a failsafe against something that should be fixed in the first place.
Dumb question: Do you mean "Fast" as in speed of execution, or "Fast" as in compile times? (Or maybe you mean both? I haven't used Rust.)

Might be worth clarifying because I immediately got excited about a faster TypeScript compiler!
There are job seeker visa as well, so that you can travel to Germany with the intention of finding a job. I'm currently recruiting an Indian engineer and he indicated that it'll take him about 2 months to get the visa.

> General Work Permit – You can apply for this type of German work permit if you have found a job in Germany which could not have been filled by an EU national. You don’t need to have extraordinary skills as long as you are qualified for the job.
Highly Skilled Worker Permit – You can apply for this type of work permit if you are a highly skilled worker with a lot of experience and a high income.
The EU Blue Card for Germany – You can apply for an EU Blue Card if your salary will be at least €56,800 per year or €44,304 per year if you are in a shortage occupation.

Software Devs are in such demand that any of these conditions are easily fulfilled.
Would you say you know why it was a success? This game has had a massive impact on me and I am spending a lot of time trying to understand why (along with FF6 and Chrono Trigger). I have identified 3 things : the music plays a massive role, the way emotion are conveyed using by the posture of the characters as well and finally the story telling that mixes stories and battles and that can hardly be recreated using an other medium.

Typing this I realise that does not explain why the follow-ups were not as good.
Got such a kick out of https://siliconvict.com/articles/5-lessons-starting-a-500m-a...

Congrats on the whirlwind of success. Well deserved!
Hey, I'm the maintainer of OpenFaaS. Thanks for mentioning the project.

Pipedream v1 ran on Lambda, but this post is touted as "AWS Lambda alternative", have you moved off the AWS Lambda platform?

I was curious how you added support for other languages, was it in the same way that you built-in support for Node.js? Where all the code gets effectively built into a single Lambda function and proxied?

For people who want to call OpenFaaS workloads from Pipedream, that's possible over HTTP and Pipedream makes that relatively simple. One thing I think they've really nailed is the OAuth integration, it just makes that whole painful flow a lot more convenient. I also like the editor and the way it infers what kind of input will go into the next step in a workflow.

I don't agree with having libraries in their own repositories. For us one of the biggest costs to fixing bugs in libraries particularly was having to then update all dependent projects with the new version. By moving our libraries into a monorepo alongside all the consuming projects we got away from that busywork. It really streamlined things for us.
But they cap tax free gains in the states at 200k, do we see mobility barriers in that jurisdiction?

Also, I believe what you're describing does exist in the states in the form of a "1031 exchange".
I remember that shadow! FWIW it was just one line in smaller Trinitrons, and it was located 1/3rd of the way from the top or bottom edge rather than in the middle.

Apple mounted the Trinitron tube upside down compared to other vendors, so that the faint horizontal line would be in the bottom third of the screen rather than the top third.
> Our tax system is screwy where we have very low property taxes and high employment tax

I agree, but I think we both know how well fixing that will go down with the absolutely massive voting group that is seniors.
I just wish they would find a better port to remaster, the current one is a low resolution mess and looks far worse on PS4 than the original on PS1 because it was a bad PC port back in the day and were the only files they could find.
> Rareware's talents were big advantages in the early 3D game console era. But by the PS2 / Xbox era, their special skills didn't help as much.

StarFox Adventures on the Gamecube was probably their last "holy crap" game from a technical perspective. There wasn't anything else at the time, on any console, that did realistic-looking fur as good as that game:

Why do you think this would give them a performance boost?
Even startups benefit from job titles and hierarchy.

Even startup employees benefit from a visible promotion path. Remember, they had hundreds of employees. Not just a couple people in a small office somewhere.

Most likely, the levels corresponded to pay bands and helped determine where people fit into the seniority hierarchy (such as determining who receives sensitive daily information updates)
Technically, yes, I could do that - but they made it pretty clear what the company policy is, so I will certainly not download and install third-party software even where admin rights aren't necessary. But of course, the thought crossed my mind, too...

WSL would be a dream, but they said to me that they basically want all machines that they're responsible for to be the same. You see, there are two kinds of sysadmins: those who take their job to be enablers for the rest of the staff (within certain constraints) and there are some that want to make it as easy as possible to themselves, nevermind if that restricts the actual users.

I can too. It's called "any mathematical system, period". Goedel showed as much.
Doubtful. I've personally had projects pull many hundreds of gigabits per second of s3 throughput. How you architect and design has a large influence to your analytics performance.

I’ve found that Rails is like the Crysis of Ruby. Usually the answer to “will X ruby runtime run Rails?” is “not yet.”
> It is not actually possible to increase the supply of good suburbia.

Dallas seems to be doing it by organically creating a multi-core urban metropolis. Infinite suburbia only fails if you assume that each metropolitan area can only have a single urban core.
Frankly, I had never heard of them until a couple of weeks ago. :-)
To summarize, you argue that it's a supply-side problem and not a demand-side one.

That is not an accurate summary. Earlier...

Either we limit Canada's crazy-high immigration rate (1% of population every year) or we build more homes which is mostly gated by illiberal zoning laws passed by municipalities. But both of these policies are very popular so you'll be swimming upstream, politically
one thing i dont miss, those monitors.
Since the two experiments have already conflicting results, this likely will/should be replicated, before we can believe this result. As an example, this experiment on neutrinos traveling faster than light was later proved wrong. https://www.nature.com/articles/news.2011.554.
At some point managers often fear the "red flag" of "we have a giant team with no work/customers". Hence, they will often push for dubious consulting(ish) work to at least ensure everyone remains busy.

Unfortunately this can lead to the outcome that the company just loses more money.
How to stop that? High tax on plastic production?
Interest rates just went over 5% so I guess we'll test this hypothesis soon?
Such a Lisp Machine is usually one machine with two screens. Typically it would be a XL1200 (or earlier an XL400). It would have a black&white console and a color screen. The color screen would be driven by a color graphics card, possibly a FrameThrower - which is an accelerated graphics card.

The graphics editor seen is just the S-Paint part of S-Graphics - it could use a FrameThrower, but also other graphics cards. There was also S-Paint on the MacIvory running in a Macintosh. S-Graphics also ran on earlier Lisp Machines from Symbolics, like a 3670 from 1984.

A bunch of TV studios, video production companies, animation studios and game developers were customers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwer_xKrmI4 from 6:09 shows the using such a Paint system on a Symbolics.

The software it runs is S-Graphics, which was later ported to SGIs and Windows machines as N-World, by Nichimen (then using Allegro CL from Franz Inc.).
This is very interesting, nice work!

Replit does hosting now for any language they support, so I’m surprised none of the sites were hosted there—- although I guess some could have been with Cloudflare in front..
Often times, you will have chunks of code that are either creating input for what would go into an interface/mock, or handling the output of it. You could pull those bits, even if they are relatively simple (maybe only a few lines, and only used in that one spot), and extract those out to a pure function to sidestep the mock.

Sometimes you can't really avoid it. In those cases, I would judge how much of the effort is testing your code, and how much is testing your ability to write mocks. Unless it is a really important functionality, or something complex enough that it would be easy to get wrong, I wouldn't bother with most tests that need extensive mocking. Instead handle those later with integration / e2e tests.
Parental/family leave, sick leave, minimum wages (especially salaried), overtime laws, allow employees to sit, marijuana legalization, abortion choice (now that it is not allowed in some places), non compete bans, pay range disclosure laws. I am sure gun laws are a big one for many. If you need Medicaid, then I know some states opted out of assistance programs for that which would hurt your access to healthcare.
It can be done. It's expensive. But it can be done.
Computation is not built on the idea of the Turing machine... That is a very, very strong claim that I assume you did not mean to imbue with such heft.

The Turing machine, rather, is a Platonic ideal -- a model -- of a computing machine which is transparent to humans performing analysis on it. There are other models, and there are other means of computation.
+1.

The funniest part (in a shocking kind of way) was my conversation with them on the first day where I asked whether they could install Emacs for me, and the guy's reply was: "What is that?"
When you notice a product being advertised, it means that part of the price of that product/service is being redirected from focusing on quality to manipulation.

The amount something advertised is inversely correlated with value.
Their price reflected their capabilities. I think they were something like $20k on the low end. A nice new car in 1993 was maybe $10k. Lots of homes even in good cities sold for $20k.

edit: Wow these were actually $100-250k! Back in 1993 that was an immense amount of money. I bet you could have bought a nice San Francisco row house in the mission or other hot area for $100k back then.
I don't use Reddit, and haven't found it terribly interesting. Why would somebody want to use it as a primary source of truth?

Wikipedia? Sure. StackOverflow? Sometimes.

I occasionally prefer Quora links, only because I'm active there and there's a chance I'll know the person (and thus have some faith in their answer). Is it something like that?

What is it about Reddit that I'm missing?

This, exactly. If I would have to identify an accent it would be television news anchor, the sort of speech which lacks any distinctive regional indicators.

I did student teaching at a high school a mile and a half away from the high school I attended just outside Chicago. I remember the students (mostly Mexican-American) mocking how I said “root” (and other oo-words) where I use the short o͝o sound rather than the long o͞o sound of, e.g., boot. Everyone I grew up with (except my Mom who was born in Western Pennsylvania), pronounces these words the same as I do, but the changes in the demographics of the area (from mostly Slavs, Italians and some Greeks and Serbs to mostly Latino) have also changed the micro-regional accent as well.

It is interesting to note that Barack Obama, despite his cosmopolitan upbringing, has acquired the Chicago habit of truncating a lot of vowels to schwas so he will, for example, say “tuh” for “to.” Then again, I’ve picked up a lot of L.A. regionalisms in my own speech thanks to living there for 18 years of my life (the most notable is saying freeway rather than expressway).
That's what happens when you go on a crazy hiring spree.
UK to build 8 nuclear reactors amid new energy strategy
No, it does spread like cigarette smoke. It's just the earlier variants required enough virons to infect that few people beyond the distancing requirements would get enough exposure to be infected. Thus we saw a few cases where prevailing airflow could infect people well beyond the "safe" distance but in general distance was safety. It's not anymore.
