Iiiinteresting. It reminds me of a hillel wayne thread from a while back that I remember poorly and can't find but will try to paraphrase.

It was like "programming languages and workflows are built around the state of having written code rather than writing code." I think the example was how in most languages you can remove a few chars or a symbol and put it in a 100% invalid state where none of the tools will work at all. A few seconds ago you had a bunch of type information, jump-to-definition, auto formatting etc, now you have a compiler error instead.

It really stuck with me because it described an experience so common I don't even really notice it anymore but really. What would it be like to work in a language that considered "non-functional" states still "valid" and tried to express what they knew about the gaps?

This is a very different idea but I feel like it's approaching some of the same concepts, in a way.
Sometimes science is confirming things you already suspect.

Often that's still useful. Here, we now know we can grow plants in lunar soil, but that they may struggle, and that struggle may vary depending on the plant and the exact type of lunar soil.

Those are all things we could've guessed at before, but now we know them, and we have a good jumping off point for further research.
Because he was true to his craft. Norm was what's known as a "comedian's comedian" - the furthest thing from a phony celebrity. Norm understood 'funny' in ways most people do not. He valued comedy over being famous. He spoke his mind with no concern for political correctness, but did so in an intelligent way. That's why his (more famous) peers - Dennis Miller, Conan O'Brien, Jim Breuer and others all regarded him as a 'genius'.

DPUs are more expensive than blade servers. They are like application-specific middleboxes ("transforms, inspects, filters, or manipulates traffic for purposes other than packet forwarding") on a PCI card, with gradual standardization for high-value data flows.

My friend, I suggest seeing an obesity medicine specialist. There are medications that can help. Insurance more than likely will cover it. Obesity is no joke and leads to (or complicates) a vast array of medical issues.

...but, silver bullets don't exist.

There are many, many examples of miracle technologies that have huge effects for the resources expended on them: antibiotics, vaccines, printing, writing, mathematics, the transistor.
My guess of why companies don't pay current employees more, is that they believe, correctly or incorrectly, that good talents will naturally rise through the ranks and would be compensated reasonably, while the rest are simply replace-able cogs.
partly to seize a market niche and avoid fees, partly as a proof of concept for others (i wrote up the technical details), and partly because the product is crypto-adjacent, which most CC processors won't touch. i highly recommend the software i use, you can fairly easily turn it into an automated vending machine for digital goods that relies on no middlemen: https://btcpayserver.org/

my business is not even close to legally questionable but i prefer not to dox myself on this account. i found a friendly CC processor that i'm waiting on approval from, so it will be hybrid eventually.
For an array, you'd have to worry about row- vs column-major orientation if multidimensional, but for simple numeric vectors and base strings (which are just a collection of UInt8s in memory), it appears to be sufficient to merely pass the pointer to C:

julia> a = "hello there!"
"hello there!"

julia> p = pointer(a)
Ptr{UInt8} @0x000000010a431458

julia> ccall(:puts, Int, (Ptr{UInt8},), p)
hello there!
10

For vectors of structs, then of course you'd need to know the layout of each struct when operating on them from the other language, but still doable enough in principle. Vectors of union types would be trickier though.

I answered some questions in a different comment, but I'll also answer these questions directly.

I used Craigslist to find all my jobs from 2008-14. This probably contributed a lot to haphazard career management. Typically those CL jobs were posted by small web shops or startups looking for extra helping hands, on a tight budget. PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, no cloud. They were not really great to grow as a software dev but hindsight is 20/20.

From 2015 onward, I stopped using CL and switched to LinkedIn, Indeed and sometimes AngelList and WeWorkRemotely (I had some remote exp. in 2014 already)

I definitely use the 'spray and pray' with jobs and am pretty familiar with the typical pace of 1 round per week in most companies that interview me. Occasionally I get talent sourcers and managers emailing first for a job. My most recent interview was in April. 6 month full-stack dev contract for $80/hr. They approached me first. I didn't pass the first round because I didn't have enough experience.

I also finished a career accelerator course last year which really helped me in organizing my job search. I could go to interviews with hardly any nerves. I fulfilled their a minimum quota of 25 applications a week for several months.

Unfortunately I wasn't the best in rephrasing the best answers to interview questions. Positive points on composure and attitude, but fail in the right knowledge.
Growing crops on the moon wouldn’t necessarily have anything to do with being self-sufficient, right? Wouldn’t it just be a straightforward matter of whether sending the water and nutrients to grow crops would be cheaper than sending food grown on Earth?
Couldn’t the CO2 be turned back into O2 + C? Understandably the tech to do so efficiently might not exist right now, but from a materials perspective I don’t see why not, with enough recycling. (Putting aside that Earth would still have to supply spare parts and some smaller amount of materials)
I love this!

Will it be possible to plot historical events on the map? I'd love to see e.g. a month-by-month combined timeline+map of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, or the D-Day invasion.

It would also be neat to be able to link a series of historical events into a sort of "guided tour", to make the events discoverable and put them in context.
You might want to try Neeva - it’s exactly this idea and I believe started by a few x googlers… trying it out seems pretty good so far…
Reading this headline, I can hear Norm's voice in "Weekend Update" mode:

"Meanwhile, the special he shot after he died will stream on Peacock."

You know he'd do it.
This is also my experience -- but I'll also note that it was very subjectively different depending on how stable/appropriately-treated my mental health was at the time. That feeling of the deficit hit very, very different when I was dealing with depression/compulsive tendencies. Right now I'm in a much better place, losing weight at a nice pace, and it's shocking to me how much easier it is than it had been, how much less disruptive to my life. Yeah, the math may always boil down to calories-in-calories-out, but comparing my own subjective experiences, I can definitely believe that the same deficit can cause different amounts of misery for different people.
In the US, it’s still on patent so it’s more expensive for the patient and more insurance paperwork for the doctor. Comes off patent next year though.

My experience was that I had to ask my doctor to switch, but once I asked, they were happy to accommodate.
> That doesn't sound like the way a man who intended to commit suicide by assassination would chose to spend his final months.

My read on Caesar is that he's the kind of person that would absolutely never commit suicide directly, because it would be too undignified, but might expose himself to danger with the hope of dying gloriously as he did.

Napoleon was deliberately modeling his life after Caesar and seemed to have made multiple attempts at letting himself be killed, using similar logic. He was just too damn "unlucky" to ever take a fatal shot.

It's safe to assume Caesar would've gone on his expeditions if he hadn't been assassinated. But it seems very plausible he hoped something like the Ides of March would take place.

That, to my mind, is the best explanation for why he exposed himself to such obvious danger.

It makes a lot more sense than the idea that he became lazy, stupid, arrogant, or incompetent about his own personal security. Something he had previously been incredibly meticulous about. Of course it's true that we'll never know for certain.
:) Mainly because we don't have a good mobile app story yet, although some are making it work. However this is top priority after our new 2.0 release.
Yes! I've been saying versions of this for a while to people who dismiss Tiktok as just teenager dance and prank videos:

> If a video seemed repetitive or shallow or snacky in any way, I skipped it, and I tried hard to do this within the first few seconds..... if a video seemed nourishing or worthwhile, but was a bit slow-paced or challenging, I stuck with it... Quickly my For You page was transformed. I saw long thoughtful videos...

I haven't seen teenagers dancing or prank videos for months, and while it's far from perfect (in particular, they have some moderation problems), I learn a lot from the videos I watch and get a lot of value from it.
> My understanding is that the US was woefully unprepared for a one-way open market and the disruptions that would bring to their economy.

Sure - we're attached to the idea that the market will self-manage all this stuff, and it's antithetical to the US' culture that a government would directly interfere with it.
The very big difference between the web and a proper GUI toolkit is that in GUI toolkits, inline elements aren't a thing, period. Text nodes also aren't a thing and don't mess up your layout when you least expect it (argh). You need to explicitly create a "text view" or label of some sort to display text. GUI toolkits also usually offer layout algorithms that make sense for GUIs. Oh and did I mention that they have sane defaults like not insisting on using the intrinsic sizes of things unless you explicitly tell them to?

Another property GUI toolkits have that the web lacks is that the GUI toolkit is usually made of the exact same kind of code you're writing your app in. There's a much tighter integration between the app and the toolkit. The app can extend it much more sensibly by, for example, implementing custom layout algorithms. With the web, there's this issue of the browser implementing all the layout and drawing and doing all the work and you can only provide input parameters to these hard-wired algorithms — you can't build your own.

Yes, I'm aware of those layout and paint worklets being worked on. Yes, they solve some of these problems and thankfully move the web platform closer to feature-completeness. It's still a mess though.
That sounds pretty scary. I hope you made it out ok.
It took me a while to train my TikTok as well. No celebrities, no entertainment of any kind. Eventually, it has become a very valuable tool that I use once a couple of days. I am amazed that TikTok algorithms let me actually do it.

Very big difference from Amazon videos and YouTube, where I feel that they are trying to shove the content, they want me to see, down my throat. This is one of the main reasons I completely cancelled Netflix.

I ended up buying $600 worth of long-form products from the TikTok content providers that I watch, without any advertising from them. I am guessing that letting customers watch what they want works out as a business model.

I suspect that my experience is not the norm, though.

It seems like the cost of externalities would be lower, though. If those prices are ever factored into market prices, this might be able to compete

I'd like to mess with them at home, but not at "the necessary volumes" to go through a foot of steel as in the video.

You know those little bang snaps you throw at the ground and they make a popping sound? For DIY, ideally, I'd do things in that kind of volume. I'd probably need a smidgen more, but I wouldn't want to do more than e.g. make a pinhole in 29 gauge sheet metal.

What I'd really love to make -- but I don't think I ever could safely -- is a little 1/8A or 1/4A rocket engine (of the that cost a couple bucks at the local hobby store).

This is science lab with kids, not bomb-making 101.
Regulation usually implies not just behaving appropriately but proving you behave appropriately, which has significant costs and precludes the smaller portions of the market.

I don't have a good mental model for why excluding all firms under, say, $1M would have a different consolidation pattern from including everyone, but it's not totally unreasonable to assume something simple like starting with drastically fewer companies will end with fewer companies as well (that consolidation is monotonic). There might be some nice explanation for that difference.
The border enforcement is not in and of itself imperialist. This is a bad faith engagement with what I think is a pretty clear argument.

Our border enforcement is a small piece of a much larger program of imperialism. We overthrow and destabilize central and South American governments which are not sufficiently pliant client states. Then we make a show of rejecting groups fleeing those conditions even though the vast majority of undocumented immigration does not happen via border crossing.
> Does this mean someday humans will stop creating, that we’ll let the machines take over? I don’t think so, I think TikTok shows us humans crave to create as much as consume.

I think this boils down to a desire for connection, rather than creation, and is part of a decade-long consumer shift toward seeking individual relationships and bucking corporate brands. TikTok, Twitch and YouTube are the primary channels for this, and it's on display 24/7. There are millions of people throwing mountains of money at individuals, not just for sharing their thoughts or talents, but by creating a genuine connection and community around that content. And that's the reason humans won't stop creating content no matter how great AI gets -- because it was never really about the content to begin with.

However, AI will assuredly become the dominant form of entertainment at some point, as the predictive capabilities alone would allow for flawless content suggestion for any given situation. And that's before the inevitability of generating content indistinguishable from anything Hollywood or Nashville can produce, including online personalities that mimic human behavior well enough to create the same "genuine" connections I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Beta blockers block adrenaline, it's not particularly dangerous to do so.
Have you been checked out for asthma? It could be exercise induced asthma. I used to suffer from these symptoms a lot, finally broke down and asked my doctor about trying an albuterol inhaler - which has nearly cured it, as long as I remember to use it prior to exercise.
I think we should do everything we can (both reducing emissions and geoengineering) to fight climate change ASAP, but the problem is that a lot of very rich people (e.g. oil companies) are incentivized to not have people reduce emissions & will use the existence of technological solutions as an excuse to only do geoengineering.

We really need both, and as much of both as possible as soon as possible.
I don’t think the commenter was talking about competition law (aka antitrust law), but rather lower level regulations concerning day to day operations. Stuff like food safety regulations, hours of service regulations for truck drivers, etc. I think many (but probably not all) of these regulations will tend to encourage consolidation simply by imposing an additional cost that benefits from economies of scale.
I think the idea is to get the CO2 levels to what they were 200 years ago. Plants breathed fine back then.
Not familiar with Qovery, but yes you can create preview envs. They’re called “review apps” for Dokku and it’s super neat.

> Geo-balanced. Pay so that everyone receives the same amount, regardless of where they live. This means the company will pay very different amounts for each employee. For example, costs in one country in Europe can be twice what they are in another country.

This completely caught me off guard the first time I encountered it.

I knew employment taxes were higher in some locations, but I was blown away by how much higher it was in most of our European offices. It was a lot cheaper to hire a $200K/year engineer in our American offices than to pay someone the equivalent compensation in any of our European offices.

The lower compensation reported by many European devs made a lot more sense after that experience.
I’ve been using BeReal daily for a few weeks, and love it. It feels much more authentic than a lot of social media. Super unfiltered.
Imagine if an AI could simulate(/emulate?) a person. What if it could simulate(/emulate?) a community.

I’m actually ok with beatings figuratively (or literally) if someone sells me poison to give to my baby.

It’s really that simple. We know how to make baby formula safely. We have known how to do that for a long time. It’s clearly profitable enough that companies are willing to do it.

But if you cut corners to boost profits and you end up poisoning babies you should be punished. There’s no need to tie yourself into knots reasoning that it’s actually not possible to enforce safe production of baby formula.
USDT and USDC are certainly not "unregulard stable coins". DAI is collateralized and well-designed. In fact its value were often above $1 in the SAI days until the USDT-USDC-DAI pool was created and it became possible to mint $1 DAI with $1.01 USDC.
What a great website. I particularly liked the article[0] about removing advertising, the scourge of post late 20th century cities.

Man is at his vilest when he erects a billboard. When I retire from Madison Avenue, I am going to start a secret society of masked vigilantes who will travel around the world on silent motor bicycles, chopping down posters at the dark of the moon. - David Ogilvy, the "Father of Advertising"[1]

I am in the minority here but I also love TikTok for the same reason. I trained it to deliver content that aligns with my interests. In order to do this, I had to consciously use it, being aware of (how I think) the algorithm works.

I’d even force myself to watch videos I didn’t like if the subject was highly interesting me and I wasn’t getting enough of that type of content. Using TikTok in this way frequently inspires me to be better

The type of content I receive with this account is extremely different than another that I use when I’m on “autopilot.”
Soil with CO2-absorbing minerals that’s already exposed to the air would already have absorbed the CO2. It’s like saying why plant trees to remove carbon from the atmosphere when we already have trees.

You can't change Chuck-E-Cheese tokens back into real money. The entire point is that they get all of your real money at the time when you buy the tokens, making it irrelevant whether you use them afterward at all.
Agree with everything you said. These asshats should crash and burn in just world.
If you've got a burried run of two pair wire that you're running ethernet on, but something happens and one pair goes bad, it might be nice to use the working pair, because trenching is a pain. Or maybe you have two pair, but you really want a phone line and ethernet (and ethernet+voip won't work). Etc lots of cases where rewiring is hard, but you don't have enough wires.
A very fun way to have this, tmux status bar weather! `set -g status-left '#(curl "wttr.in/YourTown?u&format=3")'`. This way you can always see the latest :)
TikTok is the only social platform where you can reliably train the algorithm and it sticks.

On Twitter, no amount of curation, mutes, or blocks will save you from screenshots of content you don’t want to see.

On Reddit, you rely entirely up to the mods of a subreddit. Once a subreddit gets too popular, the submission rate overwhelms volunteer resources.

Facebook is just garbage.
If we secure things so there can be no financial war, we're left only with war. Kinetic war. Of course, that also wreaks havoc on finance. Is that not so?
> closed all my Tether longs

I've been wondering, what's the downside with Tether shorts? If it remains stable, then the shorts don't move in value. USDT is unlikely to moon above $1.00. If it collapses then the shorts print money. All you pay is the fees associated with creating and maintaining the positions. Seems like it's all upside.

I'm assuming there's some counterparty risk with exchanges blocking trading of synthetic derivatives if the underlying asset is imploding?
They never have any intention to fight any country, right until the moment they invade it and reduce entire cities to rubble.
