Life is what you make of it. Personally, since I've become an adult, I couldn't tell you the last time I remember experiencing boredom. And I have deliberately disconnected myself as much as I can. My phone is always on silent mode, and I've turned off notifications for every app except text messaging and calling. I deleted my last social media account a few years ago, and I try to the best of my ability to use my computer and my phone for things that are not mind-numbing, e.g. I don't play mobile games, I don't mindlessly watch youtube videos, etc. I limit my consumption.
Even if you spent the entire day sitting in front of a blank wall, there are literally endless things you could think about and explore. You could think about the things in your immediate environment, how they work, how they came to be, how you could improve on them. You could run any number of thought experiments like if we made contact with an alien civilization how would we come to understand each other? You could think about your goals in life and steps to achieving them, explore why you are experiencing problems with certain people and how to resolve them, or just reminisce and be grateful for things you have.
There are a few new fabs being built in the south west US.
> But how does this relate to power plants? The military will get its nukes, whether or not the plants are built.

The problem is that the plutonium will be created in the first place and needs to be taken extra care of to make sure the stuff doesn't get stolen or "misplaced" and then diverted off to terrorists.
I was 50/50 in 2011 between Python and Ruby (Django / Rails). Went with python in the end, kind of glad I did. Ruby has fallen off a lot in popularity, while python hasn't. Also Python seems to be a lot more general purpose, while ruby is a lot more web development focused.
Yes, it's correlated. YouTube ads are a great example. The more you use the platform, the more likely you will see an ad. At the end of the day, these companies maximizes profits for shareholders. Users are a means to do so. Advertisers are the true customers.
Knowing Apple, I expect that one dollar installation fee being pushed into their coffers, either directly (because the App Store is pay to play) or indirectly (because they force you to use Apple hardware to develop and push stuff onto the App Store)
Indeed, as well as learning to accept that there are some games you'll just never be good at. Personally, I've never been good at playing the political game at work so I don't attempt to. There are times when I can tell it's being played, but maybe not even who exactly is playing, let alone what their strategy is or what a strategy might look like.

It seems difficult and not fun at all though, so I'm ok with this inability.
Their paper: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~avh/dyn-trait-icse-seip-2022-pre...
Pretty much. I remember my wife's great-grandfather talking about leaving the farm at 16 during the Great Depression, jumping on the roof of a train and looking for random work at every stop. Today, plenty of parents won't let their kids walk home alone at night at 16.

Of course the social media experts would say he "unfairly" benefited from the post-WW2 economy, plenty of jobs, a nice house but hell, I wouldn't trade places with him.
Ssh, don’t spill the beans! I love competing against companies building these rickety SPA boat anchors. These SPAs almost always end up feeling slower, buggier, and just plain weirder than a Rails app using SSR and Turbo.
You summed it up so well.

And those are the very same reasons Hare should remain a simple language.

You can never please the crowd, but you can please yourself and a couple of your friends.
Difficult to get a competent Electrician if he is in Thailand in the middle of nowhere.

There's a lot to be said for countries with decent certification systems for electricians and I'm pretty sure Thailand doesn't come close to having that.
> I have a safe job with an above average salary but I still cannot find an apartment with my partner.

Do you have an above average salary for the region you're looking for the apartment in? If so, then who's getting those apartments, if the majority of people cannot afford them? Is this a special case like SF where there's just not enough apartments being built for the size of population?
Hi @hiharryhere thanks for mentioning Cloud 66! I work on their docs and I'm always looking for ways to improve them (sounds like more work is needed, lol). Any chance I can email or DM you somewhere to ask for more details on areas you think need the most improvement? I would really appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!
Fascinating. I didnt realise that contemporary Americans refer to Americans of that era as "Victorians".
Have you actually read the IPCC report, or only read what the media says about it?

There’s a huge difference. The IPCC, the consensus of scientists says that the rate of growth in the world will slow. That’s it. And that’s turned into an “earth will become a fireball” narrative by the media.

Therefore the actual scientific consensus is the world will get better more slowly, not that it will get worse.

Stop listening to the media who make money off your fear.

Improve your React app performance using React Profiler
I was recently trying to improve the performance of a page in a React app, and unnecessary re-renders seemed to be the culprits.
After some investigations, I stumbled upon the #React DevTools Profiler plugin and found it so useful that I decided to create an article to show how to use it using a very basic app example!
> this website actively policies TONE, CONTENT, and CONVERSATION

And luckily so, that's what keeps it different from the cesspool of Twitter.
That's not true. Whatsapp is a data harvesting platform for your social connections. They match it with their existing Facebook profiles/ shadow profiles to know what your political affiliations, race, gender, age are. With a big enough data set, they can infer a lot about you.

How much you chat with your friend tells me how close you are and how similar your politics and shopping habits are. Add that with your location data from your IP address (contrary to popular belief, you don't need to turn on location permission to know).

Whatsapp is the perfect power-up for platforms like Facebook. With your Whatsapp connections and Facebook profile combined, your data becomes even more valuable to advertisers. Why do you think Google and Facebook keeps on asking for your phone number?
Individual parenting styles and quality obviously have a huge part to play. But when there's a huge toxic elephant rampaging around the room, saying "avoid the elephant" is a less systemic fix that helps way fewer people than "just shoot the bloody elephant".

And no sadly I don't know what shooting the bloody elephant equates to in this metaphor :-(

Also - I'm not sure if you're a parent or what your experiences have been, but I am and my opinion is 100% that stopping my kids doing the stuff that all their peer group does will be far worse in terms of ending up ostracised and alone and probably bullied than the harms social media itself very likely does bring.

Damned if you do...
Social media is merely the channel, fatuous narcissists looking to shill nonsense lifestyles are the vector.
Well, if ESP doesn’t work, then you do need to collect some data, and more data tends to be better than less data.

Of course we’re not free. Essentially no one in the modern world is meaningfully free. Native North Americans prior to the arrival of Europeans might be the freest I know of, the colonies hated their colonists discovering their relative freedom and going off with them.
The European Union will have some pretty extensive reforming to do once the Ukraine war has ended. I doubt the EU will dissolve, but I'm pretty sure it be quite different from how it is now.

If we assume the current (relative) unity will last for a decade or so while Ukraine is rebuilt and we get waned of fossil fuels, then we'd have to start preparing for internal political shitstorms '32, as there'll be a lot of elections '33 and '34. If we make it past the EU parlaiment elections in '34 I'd say we're good for a while after that.

Edit: But yeah, things definitely go up and down in cycles. No doubt about it. No single nation state will remain forever, but the entire latin-anglo-slavic-germanic-fenno-ugric clusterf*k we call European civilization won't just go away within such a short timeframe. An eventual decline will take many decades, if not centuries.

So if I'm eating more and gaining lean muscle, I could still fall under the calorie-restricted category?

Basically I don't enjoy being thin but I do want to live to 120. I already do calisthenics and basketball regularly, just wondering what else I could do to min-max my longevity.
If you're the tallest thing for 200m and in an area with frequent lightning storms, you should get a lightning rod installed.

It's just a metal rod from the tallest bit of your building to the ground. It can be installed without much specialist skill, so should be cheap.

With that, the rest of your electrics will be fine in the future.

To repair your outlets, call a local electrician. It will probably just require a new breaker in the fusebox (breakers get damaged if lightning levels of current flow through them, then then they will refuse to turn on). The PSU is probably repairable if you find an electronics guy - it will need new diodes right at the input. Maybe a new fusable resistor too. But if youre paying USA labour rates, it's cheaper to just buy a new PSU.
> "low-fee" crypto networks are not a comparison because your goal is not to send "low-fee" cryptos, it's to transfer money.

we are both talking about sending 'value' across the globe, e.g. Ko-Fi-style tips, international payments, charitable donations, Kickstarter-like crowdfunding, etc.

for example, as an artist I am selling digital + physical media and accept fiat and crypto as a form of payment. I know many others in a similar situation, including nonprofit organizations that accept crypto.

obviously not everybody accepts crypto and it is highly localized; but any merchant or online platform that decides to accept XTZ as a form of payment can already do so to mitigate the 2-5% payment processing fees that I mentioned earlier.

It's not easy to get the point across just by reading about it. Id honestly say you should just learn some lisp and implement something cool.

> I don't see why this would be any different than defining a function like I normally do.

Because with functions you don't define any new syntax or implement a DSL; you don't have access to the compiler during read, compilation, and run time. This allows you to easily extend the language: do you miss list comprehensions from Python? Add it yourself with a macro. Want to generate boilerplate code? Macro. Prolog compiler? Yes. Basically anything in this book: https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp

> But why is this more productive than simply defining a "exponent()" function or something similar?

It's not just about defining a new operator, you can basically implement a DSL with C-like syntax if you want to: https://github.com/y2q-actionman/with-c-syntax

It would be nice if that company later sneaked like better privacy, open protocol / interoperability with activity-pub or whatever. i mean people won't use a social media cz it respects privacy etc.
I actually bought some Land back when it launched and still have it, so I have a financial incentive to see it go up. But seriously, what's so recolutionary about Decentraland compared to Second Life except the whole non-fungibility stuff?

Barbers definitely need to keep current and I know for a fact attend meetups and workshops or whatever you want to call them to learn new and fashionable techniques. Seems like a weird comparison to make in an article that impresses humble beginnings.
You're sadly not wrong. I've seen the financials of selling bikinis.

$2.5 product + $9 shipping + $20 in facebook ads => sold for $75

As for supermarkets, the main difference is probably what they charge you for placement. If you (the manufacturer) want your product inside a supermarket, you typically have to rent the shelf space from them. And depending on where inside the shop that shelf space is located, it'll be priced vastly differently. That is also one of the reasons why you typically only see high-throughput high-margin products close to the cashier, e.g. sugar candy for kids.

But I feel like on the electronics side, it's not that obvious. When you need access to electronic components, being close to the markets in Shenzhen is a huge advantage. Shenzhen engineers can just walk over, chat to the manufacturer, and buy some sample products. Western engineers need to read the spec sheets and then wait 2 weeks for the samples to make it through shipping and import clearance. Also, some top-notch components only have descriptions in Chinese, because the manufacturer knows that 99% of their market is selling to other Chinese companies, so they don't bother producing an English datasheet.

The result is that Shenzhen shops are not only cheap, but also better quality.
For most applications on most consumer devices, benchmarks comparing the time it takes to update thousands of rows are not really relevant, other considerations will have a stronger impact.

However, the lighter frameworks (where most of the work is done at compile-time and the result is highly optimized vanilla JS) really shine in specialized usecases like underpowered embedded devices, where the more popular frameworks introduce too much latency (>0.5s) for a smooth user experience.[0]

ActionScript was fucking great. :(
I wouldn't do that as it probably would take me longer. Depends on the job offering. If it is about either crawling a site or using its API, having already used it in the past strongly influences the time needed to finish the task.

To me this sounds very out of scope for 4 hours but I am no web developer. Maybe I would stop exactly after that time and present how much I got. If they seek a senior that can just generate a project from a template that includes node, react and friends on a dime and start coding it might work. But to me these tests don't make a sensible impression and could even incentivise bad coding practices if it is representative of how they work.
Oh, thanks. I think I didn’t see it, because inline buttons in the password field are usually to mask/unmask the password and a login button is usually placed below the form.
The Google Play video player sometimes does it (or at least sometimes used to).
For some types of power supply, not having a proper ground can dangerous for reasons many people don’t realise. It’s not just about fault currents ‘flowing to ground’. Should just the supply neutral become disconnected, such as during high wind, then without a proper ground setup every metal item in your house that is grounded (such as microwave cases) can become live. It depends on how things are configured, but this type of lethal fault is a real possibility if neutral and ground are bonded at your house as they often are.

In the case where your power is derived from another property as you describe, in the UK we would normally call this a ‘TT’ power supply which you can google. It is absolutely essential (life and death) to have both a good grounding rod and an RCD at your end.

A others have said, get an electrician who understands the subtleties of outbuilding power supplies. If you cannot do that for whatever reason, I suggest first reading up extensively on the different kinds of earthing system, and finding out which one you effectively have.

Since you had no ground previously, it is likely that just live and neutral have been exported from your neighbours property (TT). You can probably check this by visual inspection, and it isn’t actually a problem provided you fix the grounding and protection at your end. To fix this grounding problem what happened? Did the electrician install a grounding rod? Did they happen to measure the impedance of it and write that somewhere? Do you have an RCD in your consumer unit (fuse box)?
So where is the software?
A parameter that probably no one else has. This is not because it is difficult to add or unnecessary. In fact, it is practically impossible for most competitors to calculate it. Competitors obtain information on the activity of a foundation or startup when the startup or foundation updates information in its profile. And this happens at the most once every six months. Someone goes to the profile and adds all the changes they have made in that time. Even if you count on mentioning a startup in the press, very few people have that information; those who have it are either taken from the startup itself (the person goes there once every six months and adds a bunch of mentions) or through search. If you use search, the number of mistakes is very high. There are a lot of identical names of startups.
Our tracking technology works in a fundamentally different way, allowing us to monitor information about a fund or startup every day directly from the source. We install trackers on the websites of foundations, startups, media sites, blogs, and social media pages.
Why can't others do that? Because trackers are installed either automatically or within 2 minutes by a person without technical knowledge. We don't need programmers or highly paid specialists to do this. We have an analyst who is more than 50 years old and at his computer he used to open social networks at most. He does a great job of setting up trackers on the fund's websites and we get information about the fund's portfolio in a structured way every day. Simply put, it's ten times faster and ten times cheaper for us than for others.
So every day we get information about news, press mentions, changes in the fund's portfolio, the startup's pivot, and much more. Now this information is already a great indication of the activity of a startup or fund. And today we added it to our data dump. Already available to clients.
And so, everything is in the database. You can look at the demo access:
https://parsers.vc/about/
PS Most of existing databases consists of 90% of dead funds and startups, so size doesn't matter)) And by the way funds come and go at almost the same rate as startups. Plus most of the companies that register as funds are just consultants.
> What's less harmful when it comes to human health and safety in non-essential activities, to assume no risk of harm or injury or to assume risk of harm or injury?

I agree with this statement. Assume a risk.

> I assert that the null hypothesis is that it does not have a benefit and is harmful.

Why did the word 'risk' disappear here? I don't think that's a good null hypothesis at all.

> You, on the other hand, if I understand properly, are saying that we should be able to do whatever we like to a punish person unless we show it directly causes harm.

I am not saying that.

I just use the settings in the DE (kde or gnome).

For WM only setups these settings are missing ("bloat" is useful sometimes), so I would try borrowing the settings gui from lxde or xfce.
IIRC it might also be useful to have an xsettings daemon run in that case.

The fees are included in the nightly/total price if you include dates for the search. It's challenging to show the cleaning fees without the length of stay or would have to show the nightly price + fees all the time and it would get kind of confusing. I think there is now the total price if you click that it shows you the break down.

Context: I used to work at Airbnb, and some point designed one version those listing cards as well. There was never a goal to have some dark pattern choice not to include the fees or somehow try to mislead users. There is just limited space for the price. Also each city, country and might have different fee structures and pricing regulation so we actually had to design the card as something supports those different cases. Like in Australia you always have to show total price where as in US it's common for hotels to show nightly price without taxes or resort fees. In some cities or countries there is now a tourist fee.

Unlike in hotels where the cleaning fee is included in the price, on Airbnb, the host sets it. Also each rental is unique like one might be 10 bedroom house with pool and jacuzzi and some might be one bedroom rooms so the cleaning needs vary. Also in some places cleaning is very cheap and some places it's very expensive to get someone to clean your house.
Sounds more like a way to make sure to hire meek submissives who won't question the way things are normally done. There was a reason Apple's entire marketing strategy in the 80s took aim directly at IBM.
