When we were house-hunting several years ago, my husband bought a 70 EUR noise meter and would take measurements around a candidate house during the day… and between 2-3am.

We rejected at least two that seemed peaceful enough during the day with commuter train noise that was acceptable for the convenience, but with multiple loud freight trains overnight.

> So "web3" can only exist where there's some financial incentive to run miners.

I can say the same about anything else on the internet. Keeping the servers running costs money

> Users can't spend real money to access this system so they need to convert their money to Geoffrey dollars to even access "web3" content.

You can actually access most web3 content without spending Geoffrey dollars, or US Dollars. If we're talking about public blockchains like Ethereum, it's all out in the open. By definition, it's a public ledger. IPFS data (which has nothing to do with crypto) is also very public.

> End users needed no more investment than their computer and Internet connection.

I guess some web3 websites require you to connect with a wallet, but downloading a browser extension doesn't seem very prohibitive.
except they make it for a variety of platforms. why does this need significant changes to the OS? It reeks of bad engineering to me.
I am not terribly fond of Kroger for that reason, among others. They also have installed obnoxious displays with flashing red lights in every aisle, but can't afford more than one security person who constantly looks like they are out of breath doing nothing but standing still.
We already use DBT and the data is less than 10TB, something Postgres can handle well. And most of the data is concentrated in a few tables. With a serverless approach I'd be happy to allocate 10x resources for just a query or two and for the rest a minimal server is fine.

I manage the data warehouse mostly alone because Postgres offers guarantees, unique constraints, triggers and relationships between columns of different tables. It does the work of two engineers. Snowflake is fast but not Postgres compatible. In order to move to Snowflake, I have to write tests and maintain them which Postgres does for me for free.

I'd stick with Postgres at least until 20TB before considering Snowflake.
Tab-groups has fixed this clutter for me. I can:

+ hoard tabs in these groups (on safari),

+ close my browser session,

+ go and do something else with my life for a while,

+ come back (even on a different device) and open safari, select that saved tab group

+ the old ‘session’ is loaded and all my old tabs are back.

There’s no longer any need to keep a 100-tab browser session open any more. Sometimes the syncing is horrible with this feature across devices though. I find myself opening a new tab and the sync process immediately deleting it… more often than I’d like.
Kessler syndrome?
If a design includes many analog components then it is effectively required to fab a prototype. Analog simulation is very imperfect, and the analog equivalent of an FPGA, Field-Programmable Analog Array (FPAA), are very limited in resources. [1]

It really isn't because you can't see everything at once. And I'm sure VR/AR will provide equally fast shortcuts for moving between anchor spaces.

I have three monitors, and it's still not enough. I would be thrilled if each of my monitors had four times the apparent area in a 3D space that layered applications and documents behind each other in some approximately intuitive way.
The plank is mentioned toward the end:

“In the past decade, every branch of the U.S. military has begun to phase out sit-ups and crunches from their required testing and training regimens, or else they have made them optional, alongside more orthopedically sound maneuvers such as the plank.”
I find checkout has gotten slow because a lack of staff. It never fails that there are lines out into the shopping aisles because a store can't staff more than two or three cashiers, even at their busiest times.
When a mother doesn't want to or cannot safely breastfeed there is still actual food that a baby can eat. This isn't nearly as daunting or complicated as it may appear at first glance. People really have been doing this for a long time - safely without their babies dying.

I've seen people here say they have learned how to feed their babies on tiktok. For a place better than tiktok, there is a ton of information on WebMD showing how to quickly and safely make baby food.

It's some kind of internal discussion deck of people giving ideas about what the future might hold based on their experience. It's almost certainly wrong, but in context it's almost certainly framed as advice and not a research project for publication.

The current thought is that current inflation is driven more by consumer demand than supply shortage. That is to say, consumers have a lot of cash and are buying more goods than are available.

I would be shocked if Meta can convince the masses to buy their headset over Apple's. If Meta tries to beat Apple on price, their headset won't be very capable and won't be much different than what is already out there (which the masses aren't interested in). If they try to compete with Apple by releasing a similarly priced and similarly capable headset, Apple wins every time. I think you're underestimating how much people dislike Meta/Facebook/Zuck. And I'm not just referring to techies either. "Normal" people hate them too.
Back in the 80s I was a spaghetti-thin teenager on a swim team. My brother and I went to swim camp, and they made us do about 500 sit-ups a day, often as a punishment, but also because they said it'd help our flutter kicks. All of us were extremely sore. We hurt too much to laugh. I sneezed once, and it was so painful I stopped halfway through.

My brother and I decided next year we'd be ready. We started with 50 sit-ups, and added five a week. Then five a day. Then twenty a day. He made it to 900, I got to 1000. Then I started working on my time, and got it down to 30 minutes. I added a hundred sit-ups on a piano bench, leaning my head back to the floor.

My abs were like cobblestones. A kid punched me in the stomach and hurt his hand. A cute girl told me with scorn that they were the only visible muscles on my body. It didn't help my flutter kick at all, probably because I didn't hook my feet under anything. My flip turns were Olympian. I'd make up a whole body length on every turn.

Three months before the next swim camp, I got so sick of sit-ups that I just quit. At camp they thrashed us with sit-ups again and I was as sore as I'd been the previous year.
sorry, I just eat a little bit of something and cook rice once every 2 days. yes, I eat largely the same food every day. I assumed that would drive me insane, but I just don't mind it. started squeezing half an avocado into every bowl, and that has been a big upgrade.

> Sure, but in this case specifically, "supporting (all) linux users" is already "solved" (they really only have to update their dependencies).

And how do you know that it will 'just work' after upgrading their dependencies? My point spans more generally that is unfixable due to the level of fragmentation that is in the Linux Desktop ecosystem.

The fact that Discord hasn't done it tells us that they are both aren't confident in supporting an unstable desktop environment with too many moving parts or there is a low amount of users there which doesn't justify the urgency to fix these issues and will let it sit on a working version of Electron before they upgrade it and it breaks something.

> Also, nobody expects them to support "all" users.

Hence why, Discord knows that they will always get a plethora of annoyed 'Linux' users on an infinite amount of distro combinations reporting that the app doesn't work on someone's favourite distro.

Hardly the case for Windows and macOS users meeting the minimum requirements to run Discord where there is a guarantee of having 100% support all the time.
Or a Fortran-like one: hacer i = 1 hasta 7

The problem with for/para statements is that the each/cada that follows is being omitted. My hacer one hides prepositions as well (para or con are suitable candidates), but I’m not sure how would I tweak a for statement in Spanish without increasing verbosity.
Agreed they have a brand to protect and that we shouldn't expect much from any university that could be described as a diploma mill.

Though I'm not confident that A-list schools are any better at curbing the cheating than an average university.

Just looking at some of the replies in this thread from people who were students and TAs at A-list schools, and from other conversations I've seen about this, they describe that cheating is rampant at prestigious schools too.
Most of the oral tests I have taken have the questions posted by the lecturer before the exam? I don't understand why it would be a problem for students to say what the question was
Not sure why you junior devs asking questions on here keep getting down voted but yes that is a great way to learn the SDLC and get some experience.
So I did some math.

A railroad based on concrete sleepers would use about 265 m³ of concrete per track mile. Thus, were the North East Corridor fully 4 tracked and used concrete instead of wooden ties, it would consume about 50,000 m³ of concrete.

A single airport runway at a major airport consumes about 55,000 m³ of concrete. That's more concrete than the entire trackage of an entire major rail line.

Sure, there's a lot I'm not accounting for, but... railroad station infrastructure is far smaller than airport terminal infrastructure. And there's another dozen major airport runways worth of concrete to chew through, and I haven't even started tallying up the taxiways or terminal pads or staging areas, etc. I doubt there's enough viaducts, bridges, and tunnels along the railroad to make up all that extra concrete.

OK, let me try help as much as I can here.

> I've been programming in general for 6 years, most of the time in python with a few incursions into other languages.

Can you be more specific here please, if possible?

How do you use Python, exactly?

* web development, like Flask or Django?
* Machine Learning / Deep Learning?
* CLI applications or web services?
* GUI framework such as wxPython, Tkinter, PyGTK, PyQt, Kivy?

> I also have the experience to be a Linux sysadmin, but I'd prefer something more dev-focused.

It's quite useful to know how to use one-liners in Python; lots of tasks can be automated as cron jobs, especially for DevOps this is very convenient.

> I have a bunch of partially finished projects; most would take a bit to finish, but a few would be doable.

It would be useful to finish as many as possible, so you can use them as part of your portfolio.

> I've setup a blog, https://holdnack.net, a week ago.

Good! Try to find a topic you are interested in to specialize on, so you can make your name synonymous to that niche.

For instance, Chris Wellons' website [1] is a must-read by those who are interested in C's deep and interesting corners.

He covers other topics as well, but most of the times in C he goes as low as possible; mind-blowing to say the least!

> So I guess I'm wondering is it better to have a few solid projects, one bigger project, a well-written blog or something else entirely?

80% on one bigger project, 20% on various smaller projects, and whenever possible write down your adventurous journey.

This way you will build your audience...but don't write for the sake of writing; have something to share with your like-minded friends and acquaintances.

For example, follow blogs with well-written material.

I already shared Chris' website; another blog to follow in case you are in web development, is Lea Verou [2].

> Oh, and this is focused on just getting an interview; I am generally confident on my interviewing skills, depending on how leet it is.

Then you have nothing to worry about; you are good to go!

Good luck!

In short, the CPU can execute up to 6 or 8 instructions at once, but only if there are no dependencies between instructions. In the second version every operation depends on the previous result.
> I’ve found that people love to find an excuse to not do a specific exercise.

Organizations too! The military, arguably one of the most physical and metric-oriented organizations stopped relying on the sit-up due to injury rates when recruits trained for sit-up tests.
I mean, why can't you? If it's actually openly licensed you're free to fork it and fix the bits you want and use what you need.

The ability to allow contributors to conttibute code is a bonus of it being open source but even if it doesn't accept or merge pull requests, it's just as well imo.
I don't think it's mandatory, but do it if you enjoy it. Try to start with projects you are already using, and with small fixes. You never know if your idea is not in the direction the maintainer wants, or if the maintainer is just a moron.

Which OS projects are you using?
Neon now opens the door (at least in my mind) for Postgres to be used for analytics or a data warehouse for almost an order of magnitude more data before having to consider Snowflake.

Basically if someone is already using Postgres as a warehouse, then they can prolong their migration to Snowflake by at least a year by using something like Neon.
Windows 7 is no longer security-patched. Regardless of how you feel about the good old days of 7, you are a risk to yourself running it.

It bears stating that if you are also using a machine running 7 in a company setting, you are also a risk to that company.
I run two Pi4s with the filesystem on a usb drive, which is probably a bit overkill but I keep some monitoring on them too. In Unifi Routing, give the piholes a fixed ip and swap your dhcp server to have manual DNS entries - you might need to do this in the classic settings view.
Can't edit, the "why can't you" was a reply to "you can't really do open source like that"
This was the kick in the pants I needed to finally set up one of these. It took 20 minutes to get up and running, and half of that time was finding a wall USB adapter to power it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
It's still around in some places, CrossFit gyms still include sit-ups and GHD sit-ups in their programming. But CrossFit and ill-thought movements go hand in hand.

I feel the same way but it’s also worth remembering that while the first iPhone was a hit amongst early adopters, it didn’t really become ubiquitous until the 4 or 4S, which were also vastly superior devices which had a few years of iterations based on experience of early adopters. The same is true of the Apple Watch, which also blew away the competition on first release, and was still called a failure but was a sleeper hit, by itself a larger business than most of Apple’s competitors.

I expect Apple’s AR product to be functional, and dubbed a niche failure by the tech commentariat, but by 2026 really start to eat into the smartphone market.

Meta and Google are just less capable of making humane software, and while they may release slightly better devices from a technical perspective they’ll miss out on the light touch that such an immersive experience will require for normal people to feel comfortable with it.
The Worm is a really fun one. The idea is that you transfer the worm NFT from wallet to wallet (it's "trying to visit every wallet on the Ethereum blockchain"), and it leaves a non-transferrable token wherever it's been. To my knowledge, it's been transferred about 750 times without anyone selling it. https://theworm.wtf/

Another cool one is minting amulets. You write a poem, and if the hash of that poem has an amulet in it (four or more consecutive 8s), then you can mint it as a token for your collection. But you can't mint the same hashed poem twice https://text.bargains/collection/

I also met someone once who gave me (and everyone he meets) an NFT from an RFID chip implanted in his hand. That was pretty whacky.
It strongly depends on your background. What kind of programs are you writing? If you have a lot of boilerplate for error handling, creating chains of promises or passing a file handler to log to around, that's the kind of thing monads can help abstract away (from a programming point of view).

They are a more general construction in category theory but knowing that doesn't tell you how to use them (because the full generality is not often needed).
> Aliases just don't stick in my memory.

I'm excited overall about these 'leaks' and details surfacing from Apple and Meta. I'm optimistic the AR side will win (versus VR only), but overall, by being shepherded by these big orgs, I expect hardware costs to reduce dramatically for end users. Lower costs will pull in more users and allow us to really design experiences for a wider AR audience.
Still, if I had one of those I wouldn’t leave it just on the street!

I thought about buying one but figured it was a bit much money for something I didn’t particularly need and would be fairly vulnerable to getting nicked, even with the security features. And I think the Bike Hunters thing where they retrieve a stolen bike for you is only for up to 3 years now, which is not really great, since you want to own the bike for much longer at that price.
Why do you have bitrot to begin with? That's what scheduled scrubbing is for. You could of course by very unlucky and have a drive fail and the other get corruption on the same day, but check how often you find issues with scrubbing and tell me how likely that scenario is.

Some years ago I did a project with LiquidFun; https://google.github.io/liquidfun/

It was an interactive art thing for kids; had a TV with a maze of transparent PVC pipes mounted on the front with valves (rotary encoders inside). The kids would open and close the valves, and watch the flow of water be redirected on the TV behind.
It isn’t though this person is just guessing incorrectly that it does not exist. Like any business buying supplies, farmers can buy things ahead of time at fixed prices.
MPC One, MPC Live, MPC X are all basically just little underpowered computers, which I suppose you could say about any MPC but the workflow on the new ones is basically like most DAWs just with a fully mapped hardware midi controller attached. They're not really comparable to older MPCs in my opinion. I think something like the SP-404 comes closer in feel to what an MPC was.
The labor market is hot because the proportion of of the population working is down 8% since 2000, and a significant portion of the population have more cash and are buying more than ever. This came to a head during the pandemic when the number of workers spiked down and money rained from the sky

At the cost of power doesn't necessarily mean at the cost of energy. If it takes a minimum of 1 gazillion electrons to do something useful then it's better to move those electrons quickly and return to idle than it is to eke them out slowly over a longer time despite the latter having a lower power usage.

TFA is a self-described "tutorial" that doesn't actually teach you how to make similar decisions in a different context. Having gone through this, I am no better equipped to select typefaces and configure spacing on my next side project than I was before I started. It's a complete and utter waste of time.

There's no "why", only some vague and useless "we can do better"-type hints without explaining why 26-px line height is better than 27.
