Growing up, my indoor entertainment options were basically reading books, reading comics, watching four channels of often rather snowy TV, or doing other random indoor activities like drawing poorly or playing various physical toys/games depending on age. So things like climbing trees were often more interesting even without usually having other people around--I grew up in the country. (Not that I disliked reading in particular.)

I don't think you can say that a gendered word is not gendered in all contexts.

The recognition that "Guys" is gendered, means that "you guys" will read as gendered to people. And that it will be necessarily exclusionary if you don't identify that way.
It's worth noting that "you" is gender neutral and plural on its own. So it's hard for me to accept that adding a gendered word to a non-gendered one magically takes away the gendering.
Also, the only people I ever see complaining about having to change this are people who fall into the group that's definitely included in "you guys".

Me <- WASP from Northwest that adopted y'all later in life, because it's just fun to say, and completely unambiguous.
If you're interested in this topic, I highly suggest some of the talks and papers about the LMAX Disruptor [0] and Martin Thompson's latest project Aeron [1]. It targets the JVM, but the lessons are generally applicable since I don't think Concord/Aria are open source.

I think it's less a law enforcement problem and and more an infrastructure problem.

Law enforcement can say "You can't ride that here!" but if a reasonable alternative path doesn't exist that doesn't really solve anything.

A two-way bike road for various types of bikes is way cheaper than a road expansion to carry the same number of people via cars, but we still view that as an "extra expense" while we don't hesitate to rip up a road to expand it from 2 to 4 or 6 lanes for cars.
Ethernet SSDs – Hands-On with the Kioxia EM6 NVMeoF
Interesting analysis, especially the economics. Just a few thoughts:

- My take was always 'Anything-to-earn' isn't a game, it's a job. And it's at least as old as WoW grinding farms.

- A technical point: you actually can implement capital controls on a blockchain. Tokens aren't anything that sits in your wallet, they're more like a spreadsheet, and you have a Turing-complete language at your hand to define the rules of how it's modified.

- I don't know Axie Infinity, but I think there were Pokemon/Tamagotchi/MTG-style on-chain games that people played just for fun, before anyone was talking about P2E (I remember the name Crypto Kitties). So it is conceivable to have fun with on-chain games, and if you can sell your game avatars, why not (it's not even uncommon)?
No, not really. The wikipedia page I linked lays out all of the illegal things they did, which are still illegal for non-profit institutions.

For the first part, look up Stacking Window Manager on Wikipedia.

As for Windows XP's transparent corners, I used to make msstyle themes back in that era, so I happened to know how the theme engine works.
That contains so much jargon that it has to be 100% legit. The rectal sphincter tone though.
FWIW I rarely use else statements and prefer early returns. Might be trauma from dealing with legacy code where you'd need an ultra wide monitor to get the end of the indentation.
I'd say $1000 is pretty high and likely is mostly labor. You can almost all of your bike maintenance yourself for a small fraction of what it costs at the bike store and if you are halfway handy you will probably do as good or better.

$1000 would probably also include things like cassettes, chainrings, chains and brake discs. Depending on the system on your bike this stuff can get quite expensive.
Terraform was a complete game-changer for me. Once I got good at that suddenly everything became trivial.
I attended a R1 university, and it was up or out for professors. I think they were encouraged to either get tenure or move to another school where they would get tenure. It's no different that a private sector jobs where you are expected to get promoted to a certain point or you need to move on.

I wouldn't call them risk averse. You get paid peanuts and treated like crap for years in the hope that you'll find a research path that generates funding. It's a lot less risky to get a private sector job and make money.

As far as Elon Musk versus professors, it's a different type of risk. I knew somebody who sacrificed a lot of potential money for years of his life so he could try an contribute to research for a specific medical condition. He was brilliant and I'm sure he could have made 4X the salary in a tech job.

It's also possible God will do this but hasn't yet. When God finally decides to do it is when all the computation will occur, including the computation that comprises our consciousness on April 20, 2022.
I'm one of those lycra clad roadies and even a carefully planned load of groceries in a messenger bag, nevermind loaded panniers, weighs you down a lot. OK on flat terrain, but the hills in my town would make it pretty miserable. If I were to use a bike for regular errands for groceries, taking trash to the transfer station, shirts to the cleaners, etc. an e-bike would be perfect.

The thing about calculating per mile costs is:

1. e-bikes are on a downward cost track, interrupted by COVID supply chain issues. But, recently, you can get a Giant e-bike for under $2000, which is very reasonable. Lightness is expensive. As long as you do not need to lift your e-bike, costs can continue to come down.

2. They are for local journeys. I would not commute from the exurbs on an e-bike. Up to 10 miles is a reasonable distance.

I haven't paid attention to frontend web development in like 15 years so I don't have any newer examples ;(

I'd hope new stuff is also CGI-based and restart on every request, otherwise you're asking for security issues (like leaking another user's info Heartbleed-style).
Anything related to finance (whether legitimate or not) that people don't understand is either money laundering or a ponzi scheme. There should really be an internet rule which formalizes this.

I've worked full time for the last 3 days on a quest 2 using Immersed. Although I'm liking the experience, it's still not as good as my regular 3 monitor setup. But there are already a lot of advantages and after this brief period, I firmly believe that this is going to be a very common setup in 2 or 3 years at most. I really hope Simula succeeds as I'd love an open and not-attached-to-facebook alternative to my current setup. Sadly, their current offerings are a little out of my price range.
You've hit on why cross-disciplinary collaboration is difficult to foster (people either need to be pretty good at communicating with folks outside of their discipline, or they need to have an interest or discipline in common, but the people involved ideally need to have deep expertise that is not shared. So often you see pairs where each one's shared interest is the other's deep expertise, which happens a lot with pairs of fields that complement each other in an obvious way (eg. 3D imaging and archeology).

Generalists shine when they bridge people who don't have much in common with each other. There are probably ideal ratios of "glue" people to have within a collaboration and within the groups from which collaborations arise, but I don't know what they may be, except at the low end (2-8 specialists need to have at least one generalist if there is nothing else bridging the gaps).

Keep in mind that there are generalists and then there are generalists. Some people tend to have a wide array of interests and seemingly manage to be the second best at every one they pick up. Collaborations tend to form around them spontaneously and they are a specific subtype of the 10x practitioner. We can ignore their existence for purposes of this discussion.

So, back to your question. Generalists connecting and working with other generalists fail the "deep expertise" requirement, which may not be a problem if there is a lot of low-hanging fruit to be found, but otherwise a concentration of generalists isn't particularly fruitful (except for social or recreational purposes, but we all like our groups to do double duty these days).

You would think that a large group of generalists would at least be great for generalists to introduce other generalists into groups that would fit them, but it turns out that having a very small number of hyper-connected individuals (who don't even need to be generalists themselves, really) salted though the social graph serves that purpose more efficiently, as well as introducing people who don't need a bridge builder.

My advice is that rather than trying to find or create a large group of generalists, you join a group that has a diverse, even eclectic set of people in it. Some interests tend to collect weirdos from all walks of life that tolerate each other's obsessions that they don't share, and you'll find that you always have something to talk about with everyone (even if it isn't the topic that the group is ostensibly organized around), and you'll also find more than the usual number of generalists or semi-generalists among them who were attracted to the group just like you were.
In case you genuinely missed the point: he was saying that the person is a great engineer for not wasting their time optimising irrelevant details like their blog. Time allocation is an optimisation problem like any other.
At my previous work we often were able to saturate all similar instance types in given region..

All AWS had to say was “we are working hard on providing additional capacity”.

The same often happens on black friday, where companies scale up their platforms just in case because there might be no capacity on AWS.
NFTs don't actually give you a license to use the assets unless the person who made them licensed them that way which AFAIK is quite uncommon.
It is unlikely that mosquitos have true agency, and we know they don't care for their children. Moreso, they are unable to develop technology to eliminate us, while we can develop technology to eliminate them.

Scientists present the Big Bang as the best picture of the process of the start of our known universe according to the data and theories so far derived - a not-completely certain process ongoing discovery. Even if the average religious worshiper might be skeptical or view things metaphorically, religions don't present their creation myths as anything like a process of ongoing discovery.

> but that doesn't make them dangerous.

Sometimes it does. I like not needing a car in SF too, but I do notice my kids being affected negatively after seeing a violent deranged person. I bike the long way to school instead of walking because it was impacting their mood so much. Maybe your kids deal with it better than mine, or maybe you're just not noticing how it's affecting them?
In california, for the same price you can get a motorcycle which has the same risk profile but requires licensing (and therefore training.)

To add to your point, following Woodruff's "Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with", Robert O'Callahan pointed out[1] that for one definition of the open-source platform (looking at the requirements of Linux distributions), a new architecture would need to support at least: LLVM and GCC targets, a port of the Linux kernel, a V8 backend, and acceleration for various codecs.

And while at this point a platform needs to have support from both compilers, I can see the GCC/glibc ecosystem being made redundant; LLVM is more adaptable and has found its way into so many specialized compiler stacks.

It's always interesting to get pulled out of one's own bubble, because I fail to find any of these websites useful? (other than mynoise, which I already knew)
The last two years here have made this much harder. A good chunk of the restaurants around here can't be bothered to print menu's anymore. Its QR code + phone or go somewhere else. Similarly with credit cards, even trying to use cash at the farmers market has gotten much more difficult in the last couple years as the vendors have all gotten card readers and stopped accepting cash.

Plus, it seems like piles of people think text messages are a form of security and want to text everything from a receipt to pin codes. Much of this sorta makes me sick because some of these "solutions" are much worse than what they are replacing (e-menus are overwhelmingly trash for example, web people should be forced to take desktop publishing classes before being allowed near HTML).
I suspect the term will have become tainted before that happens. "Metaverse" has turned into hollow nonsense within the last few months.

But what do I know? I'm still sore that "content creator" now means "social media person" rather than "someone who creates content".
Ok, if you simply use EC2, S3, maybe a single RDS and/or Elasticache. Ok maybe I agree there.

But the real magic comes when you learn to architect entire applications out of their pre-built patterns.

random examples OTOH : fan out messages to a number of lambdas when a SNS topic receives a message . processing + backing up a kinesis event stream w/ lambdas + s3. There are many many cross product integrations that make development about as simple as connecting the two ends of a (data) hose. In these sorts of cases you can trade $$ for velocity pretty easily. Yes it will cost you a bit more to operate, but far less than the humans you save.

Also on the argument about unexpected traffic leading to unexpected bills. AWS is most applicable for businesses that have a strong correlation between traffic and revenue. If you make a dollar per million, then it's fine when you wake up to elasticity unexpectedly handling a trillion. Not so much if you don't have an actual business.
I have two young kids and I'm very sympathetic to the philosophy of free range parenting. But jeez, when it comes to actually letting my 6-year old walk to the grocery store alone? It's... really scary... just being honest here. Maybe I can get over that? I don't know.
I am very happy about SB9!

Though as a maximalist on this I'm still upset this is the best compromise we can get since the lot of this house is definitely big enough for more than just 2/4 units.

The house I live in is rented which means it actually wouldnt be eligible since the owner must live in the house for 3 years after turning it into a duplex.

Maybe this will incentivize owners of houses like this to sell to people who are willing to divide it in two? I hope so! But not sure.
So instead of an ops bill now there's a cloud bill plus an ops bill! :P
We’ve had inflation and stuff before. What makes this time different?
Not endorsing the behavior, but this is a consequence of the streets being unsafe for bicycles and scooters and there being no dedicated infrastructure yet.

If you look back at when cars or bikes were first introduced you’ll see the same complaints about dangerous behaviors and being incompatible with horses. For cars, it’s not wrong because at the time traffic laws were incomplete, there were no street signals, and people didn’t even stay wide when making left turns.
I would assume that the good doctor was joking. Principle of charity and all that.
> Germans probably feel sad too about the fact that their country is turned into a generic settlement area for economic opportunists.

Why would Germans feel sad about software developers (listed as shortage occupation in Germany) and other educated/experienced mid-class workers moving in to Germany, getting things done and paying taxes?
It's not a law enforcement issue, it's a city planning issue.

The practical solution is to reallocate usage of the street to prioritize all modes of transport. i.e. Take a car lane and replace it with proper 2-way concrete barriered bike lane.

They're on the sidewalks because they don't feel safe riding in the street, and who would with huge trucks blowing past you at high rates of speed. But if you give them some infrastructure and someplace safe to ride, they won't be forced to dive through pedestrians on the sidewalk.
My home is Kyiv. I've been in Kyiv the entire war.

It's rare to ever hear a conversation in Ukrainian in Kyiv, most people speak Russian. Even though lately some people I know have tried to "switch" to Ukrainian (most people are bi-lingual), they have all switched back to Russian pretty fast. Ukrainian is strongly promoted, and legislated in many situations. But, I think you have summed it up nicely with "almost nothing".

I've never seen any repression of the "Russian minority", prior to this war. This is just anecdotal of course. Many Ukrainians have either Russian friends, or extended family, or heritage.

However, now, I assume Russians will be persecuted in Ukraine pretty much forevermore.

BTW, I'm not Ukrainian or Russian, I just live in Ukraine.
ok but why. Why didn't you just look it up and never use it again, unless you move every 3 months.
I hope that your bike failed like that was a fluke. I didn't recharge my $1100 Ancheer all winter and it was fine when I started using it again 2 weeks ago. I didn't even think it might be a problem to worry about. I'll have to be more careful next winter.

FWIW, I would encourage anyone who isn't certain enough about it to buy a $3,000 bike to start with a cheaper Chinese model to decide if it is for them. There are things I don't love about this bike, but it definitely has me sold on electric assist bikes given the hills I have around me and my knees, and when it comes time to replace it, I expect I will get a nicer model.
Please accept my apologies in advance. I don't mean to sound crass. But, after the incident at your daughter's school, she's still alive, right? Are you suddenly worried she's scarred for life and gonna grow up to be a meth-head? Like I said, sorry to be insensitive, but as a fellow Gen-Xer, it kinda disappointments me that we've adopted this attitude that kids should be protected from, well, *everything*. We all saw shit as kids, and we all lived through it.
The same is true in reverse. If your team assumes they need the optionality of avoiding cloud lock-in, your CTO had better have made an explicit choice to pay the overhead of not using these cloud services.

Sure, you can play FUD games about AWS suddenly raising prices, but I doubt you'd have any historical evidence to back that up. So you'd better be able to say why being cloud-agnostic is critical to your business.
Things I learnt so far:

- Slowing down (Turkish people always in a rush)'
- Saying 'NO' (we tend to say YES a lot eventhough we think it is a no situation, both in your real life and work life)
- Every people I met, they already visited most of the countries in Europe, so they are travelling all world and met with different people from different cultures. Before I came Europe I only visited one country other than Turkey. It takes some time learn other cultures and how to behave...
- Politics is stupid.
- There are other problems than economy, middle east, religion etc. People are talking about sustanability, climate change, electronic cars etc.

There are other things but these are the ones come to my mind so far :)
My homeworks aren't written to become public (they probably could because of their business)... I guess the schools are probably more to blame though.
"I don't think PHP is that bad actually"

> NTA, it's a perfectly usable language. You should be able to get a job with decent salary using it. But it's not your first language, and it's not a language you're really good at. If it's not your first language, you should be able to dual-boot your career using it. Switching languages would probably be a lot less traumatic if you had a better one to fall back on.

> YTA! If you dig it that much, learn it and do it on your own time. This site was started by a person who decided to take up PHP as her hobby. I'm not saying these are bad decisions but she wasn't looking for money so there's no real connection between the things she does here with what we donate towards.

> YTA. DON'T EVEN START. You are aware that not everyone is a coder right? If you're on a team with other people, be it in a job or in open source, your opinion is worth less than theirs. If you want to be a coder, learn to work with other people.

"Liking my cats more than people"

> NTA. I have two cats and people are always trying to pick them up. I tell them no and then they usually just let go. Sometimes they even try to fight people away from them. I love my cats way too much to let people pick them up.

> YTA- I'm sorry to say that cat people are the worst.

> YTA for saying you like your cats more than people. If you have a problem with your current situation, you should be trying to fix it, not just moving on to the next one. You say you like your cats more than people, but don't explain why. What are you doing to make your life better? Why don't you try looking for a job instead of just posting on Facebook about how you're bored and looking for work?
I just planted some fruit trees in my backyard. Assuming all goes well there will be more fruit in the future. I plan to eat some of that fruit and give some of it to my friends, family, and community. That means that absent any decline the amount of goods available has increased.

You can make houses out of mud and clay.

Some countries are turning garbage into fuel and using that fuel to power their homes and businesses.

The economy can always continue to grow. It doesn't always grow, but there's no real reason to expect that we are about to run out of everything.

The only thing that I'm concerned about us running low on is food. Localized food shortages are likely over the next couple of years and that can cause major instability which is not a pleasant experience historically speaking.
You can get an exponential growth if the time until the next technology decreases linearly with each technology.

For example the time until the next technology is 1/n, then the technologies per unit time increase exponentially.

This is true within a constant which is https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_constant

A justification for maybe why this is the right model is that the previous n technologies all help make the next technology possible in time ~1/n because they (n existing technologies) all contribute to innovating the next technology.
it doesn't?
Are you sure?

Isn't the current inflation and investment issues in Turkey caused by Erdogan? He remains in power by blaming "the west" without providing details and using nationalism to gain votes [1]. He then also gets votes by pandering to conservative Muslims.[2][3].

It's similar to what's going on in the US
