>>separate the effect of individual tossing style from any possible effect arising from the physical difference between Heads and Tails. But it is very hard to imagine any such physical effect, so we presume the observed difference (if real rather than just chance variation) is due to some aspect of different individual tossing style.

Developing software absolutely can work like that if you don’t accept that shoddy workmanship is an acceptable cost to levy on your customers.

I work on operating systems for a FANG company; I’m not unfamiliar with what “developing software” works like.

It’s a choice to move fast and break things, not a requirement.
New York Passes World’s First Electronics Right to Repair Law
The average grocery store carries 30,000+ items, I don't know how people will find new products in a world (decades from now) where dark grocery shopping is the norm. We all only have vast awareness because we know of the goods by walking the aisles.

The web apps for grocery shopping have carousels that might showcase to you two or three new items, but there simply is nothing analogous to aisle walking. You can't even really see the full inventory in these web apps either. To me, that's a huge discoverability issue that doesn't yet present because people have prior experience shopping IRL.
My preference is a high end gas cooktop with an electric stove. I also like gas fireplaces. Almost everyone I know has gas and prefers it.
"OVHcloud fire report: SBG2 data center had wooden ceilings, no extinguisher, and no power cut-out"[1]

I suspect that opens up negligence, which may route you around legal barriers like SLAs and TOS, depending on the laws where this lawsuit is happening. And of course, you don't have to win in court to win. You can just be enough of a cost, nuisance, or PR problem to get a settlement.

Most of the out migration from expensive regions is low and middle income earning families. There’s a net in migration of high income households.
I always run into this issue in one form or another. Glad to see a free, complete, and trustworthy solution to it.
I often wonder, do 'good people' make better executives than 'bad people'? Extending on that, I think there's a lot published on how to have more empathy and all these ways to be a good person and manager, but is that as good on the numbers in a purely cutthroat capitalistic game? I would think this may be more/less true the higher up you go.
Lots of time and scraping, and lots and lots of community contributions!
I think it's more that as Americans have evolved and more people seek white-collar occupations, and as women have taken more career (as opposed to domestic) paths as dual-income households become necessary to survive especially in places like SF, people have lost critical skills. Like how to cook healthy with a few basic ingredients. Most of the people I work with don't know how to use an oven. I don't think half of them know how to shop at a grocery store, either. If Uber Eats ceased to exist I'm concerned they would starve to death or be forced to survive on peanut butter and jelly.

When you convince enough people that $13 for a grilled cheese sandwich is acceptable, that becomes the norm. It's the milkshake scene in Pulp Fiction become reality.
I do, mainly because of the cognitive overhead of setting up (and fixing when necessary) the extra tooling. Integrating my editor with whatever runs my code is just rarely a zero-effort experience

The exception is with JavaScript in a browser, since the browser is both the native environment where the code is running, and can show the highlighted code and let me set breakpoints. However, even then, more and more of my JS code takes the form of expressions, not procedural statements, and breakpoints just don't help much with those. So in practice I still use them rarely
Have you tried reading fiction that’s not SF?
I'm suspicious this occurs when there are too few tools in a given box. See also: NodeJS.
The US in 2015 had an average household income 55% higher than the UK, which effectively negates most of the arguments this argument is trying to make, as well as the graph which shows daily costs in the US being 60% higher than the UK. The US is a richer country, costs are accordingly also higher. Not exactly surprising.
Love the simplicity of this. Maybe a future release it can do https like npm https-localhost does
No. A ton of languages don’t support proper Sum Types, and Rust’s emphasis on errors-as-values helps you think about error handling, instead of only thinking about the happy path. Rust also doesn’t do implicit type coercion and a host of other things that can cause correctness issues. Rust gives you the tools to express more of what you’re doing to the compiler than a lot of languages, which lets the compiler help you more.

It’s natural that a lot of programs have some form of concurrency, so that’s an extremely common thing for Rust to help with, but it’s not the only thing.
I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion of the fees associated with these services. Most people can’t afford to spend 25+% extra on their groceries just to gain some convenience

I was very keen on Ember for a long time, loved the batteries-included nature, generators etc. The closest thing React had was Next.js, and it was (still is) heavily restricted by its router. Although this is now changing.

Ember really lost momentum though. There were a bunch of releases that literally had "no changes". I think its time has just passed, sadly.
This is true of real estate titles in many jurisdictions, too. You can quit claim a property to anyone without their consent, and then from that point on they are on the hook for property taxes, compliance with title covenants, etc.
It's simple for us but I think the ethos around this project is not even having to open a command line. Like old Mac OS X days, just click a button to start a web server
I think everyone always looks at it from the perspective of the hobby mailer, when instead gmail looks at it from the recipients point of view.

It’s really really trivial to automate buying a domain, get some IPs and setup DKIM, SPF and DMARC. How can a provider determine intent?

Gmails approach is to mostly use user signals, which in my opinion is the best way.

At a company I’ve worked for, they sent some mail using sendgrid to a poorly made mailing list and we’re in gmail spam for ages.

My personal ran email mostly stays in inbox.
Nexys 100T was recommended as a stand-in until you get the real mega65, that it's pretty much the same thing once set up. So, one could view it as a lite version: https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/en/29376-Nexys-A7-100T-FPGA...
Nice to see you here, incidentist. Your work on novacom for modern macOS has been invaluable!
They try to be the good guy. Their free tier is quite extensive (24GB of RAM, 4 ARM vCPUs and ±2 AMD cores, a several hundred GB of storage), good enough to run quite a decent personal cluster on, probably to lure in businesses for their AWS-style cloud services which are as ridiculously expensive as their competition.

However, just like AWS, Azure, and GCloud, their admin UI is complicated, slow, frustrating and full of invented acronyms and quirks.
I honestly would be interested for an actual chef to weigh in.

I'm all for using an induction stovetop at home, but have people actually seen chefs fry over an open flame? They're moving the pan around, lifting it up and around, using it to toss the food, etc. That would basically be impossible with an induction stovetop.

It seems rather tone deaf to me to not address the issues that the chefs are actually concerned about.
Esri, the leader in corporate/enterprise/government map-making (GIS), recently launched its first direct-to-consumer product, StoryMaps. It fits a slightly different use case from Felt - it is oriented to storytelling - but in some ways it is solving a similar problem.

https://storymaps.com/

For people willing to sign up for a personal use subscription (too difficult and not marketed to consumers, unfortunately), ArcGIS Online makes it easy to make really powerful maps, far beyond what Felt offers, for those interested. Newer things like blending modes are making the design aspect of map making a lot more accessible.

Video for those interested in what “more powerful than Felt” looks like: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0XI-J8XUNeU

And for developers, you can try out the samples to see what the tech can do and the code to do it. The flow renderer is one of the newer flashier features: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/... This shows how its done in code, but the public API underpins the Web Map Viewer, which exposes a UI for most of it.

Well due to Osama bin Laden's essentially successful terrorist attack two decades ago, America got like...a 20% pay cut. Impossible to measure, but that terrorist got America's economy into much wilder boom/bust swings (Trump being exceptional to this tendency), just a stupider economy and smaller and smaller profits. The country runs at a loss presently. It's being corroded from within and soon from without as well, its borders will begin collapsing, notably Taiwan this year.

So when everybody's poorer, everything's shittier, simple as that. Poverty sucks. For sure America has gotten poorer year after year this millennium. It's just presented from a more oblique angle, inflation statistics are of course manipulated, and worst of all the Fed now thinks left-shifting solves problems. So normally we'd be talking about multiplying by 10, but I'm not sure how the numbers are represented, I think binary coded decimal.

At any rate the era of actually printing money, actual paper money, pressing command-P and hitting enter and taking the money from the printer and then using it, is a bygone era much more beautiful than the present. Now the Fed just says "eh, here's some zeroes on the back of your account." Bernanke joked about this, thought there was no evil in fiscal easement because "they're just numbers in a computer." He even laughed. That tells you everything.

Well there's silver lining, so at least they retreated (or used sanctions according to the official press releases) from Russia so now there's two sets of numbers on computers, that's better. Or better still, concurrently with Bernanke, bitcoin was invented specifically to stop what is currently happening in America, everybody getting robbed by inflation that's way WAY higher than they're openly talking about. Not only that, but there's not just one person making money out of thin air, there's also North Korea printing dollars, they're minting money too, and I...divine the Fed doesn't have such a high integrity system protecting those numbers on the computer. Competitive left-shifting.

So that's why supermarkets seem crappy, it's because everything's crappier, everybody in the supermarket is not as skinny as before, everything's worse, why? Poverty.
This is really cool! Nice work.

I wonder what it would take to get live-reloading into this without anything special added by the user.

I think you'd be able to add a JS snippet that listens for server pushes (you'd push when the file system changed, I guess), then reload using window.location? Not ideal though, you'd need to inject that into the page or do something weird like output everything in an iframe.

People love their live reloads though, and a lot of people who benefit from it aren't really sure how to implement it. It would be cool to have an opt-in, no-code solution.
Hi there, I took a look at your site home page and docs, and still can't figure out what it is, or why someone would want to use it. Do you have a link to a 10,000 foot overview / simple use-case explanation, for a short-bus person such as myself?

Small changes in the average values often result in big changes at the extremes. The problem with both the PCT and CDT is that the terrain is laid out by nature and you have to deal with it in the order presented. Too early and the mountains are hazardous (snow, avalance), too late and the lowlands are hazardous (hot, dry) and there's also the issue of winter closing in before you complete it.

Even without wildfires playing havoc with the trails I suspect the days of thru-hiking are numbered, they'll only be section-hikable. I'm not sure how big a problem it is on the AT.

There's already the Great Canadian Trail that from day 1 was never thru-hikable. Not even the most skilled people can complete it before winter closes in.
I sometimes take notes on books I read. I love having notes; usually, I forget a lot of the details within 6 months (though most of the nonfiction I read is technical learn-about-a-subject from this rather than "here's life advice," as another commenter pointed out, the latter is only useful up to a point). However, the compulsory need to have notes itself makes me read less, because I don't like doing it, so often I don't take notes. Instead I write a lot of commentary in the margins, underline things, etc, as a compromise. That way I can easily skim back through my annotations at a later date if I want to. But really, electronic notes are ideal.
Yup, will go for steamed over fried seafood any day of the week...unless there are good fish and chips around.
Actually at any rate, given that they still win on either side of the trade and have complied with many regulations; survived any bull or bear market just like they have survived 2013, 2018, 2020 and so on.

Until all cryptocurrencies are totally wiped out, banned and stopped completely 100%, then Coinbase is finished. Realistically and especially at this rate, I'm afraid that is simply not going to happen.
Read fargle's post. That explains it well.
I guess I don't understand why that needs chains. In the parts of Europe that I am originally from, there are far less chain restaurants than here. And as I hinted, it's still pretty common for folks to have "their" restaurant in the neighborhood and to eat there all the time, same food or not. Maybe mixing it up some time with another restaurant, maybe not.

If someone builds a shitty damn (for holding water), and it collapses, and this results in flood waters destroying whole cities, and while your house is being destroyed by water, is it really worth it to focus on your neighbor pissing into the water from his rooftop? I mean yes.. technically he's contributing to the flooding, but you know...

> An example of this would be when a wild cod is caught off the coast of Alaska and, due to economic factors, is shipped to another country to be fabricated into fillets and packaged. If this process of turning a whole fish into packaged fillets occurs in China, the cod fillets are declared “Wild Caught Product of China” upon import into the United States.

So, I cannot buy straws because of pollution, but large industry, can catch fish in alaska, transport it to china, process it there, transport it back to US and sell it?
So is AWS a startup too? I believe we call Zoom and similar scaleups, startup being more applicable to starting and up and coming companies.
When I worked at the BBC I was working on their notifications widget in the top nav bar. This would live above the fold on every BBC site, including News, Weather, iPlayer, Sport, etc. Therefore it had to be extremely small in bundle size, but I still wanted something nice and component-based so the code resembled something modern at least.

I ended up choosing Riot.js. Worked pretty nicely for the niche task I had for it.
Teslas or people in general people should absolutely not break-check, but no, cars that drive so close to the car in front that they cannot safely stop in an emergency are tailgating.

I do agree there is some nuance, but it really saddens me that so many comments in this thread are supportive of a form of driving that, while very common, is unsafe for themselves and others. It's a form of normalisation of deviance and I'm sure it costs far more lives than teslas dodgy "autopilot" (even if that too should not be road legal).
I visited Barcelona in 2019. I was shocked at how much better grocery stores were, and how much cheaper, than in California. We are getting shafted in CA at the grocery store.
One benefit of all the working from home has been a few commuter towns around me have revived their high streets.

E.g. i have two awesome butchers nearby, the fruit and veg shop is way better than 5 years ago in terms of selection - quality and price was always good there but selection is fantastic now. I’ve got lots of random little shops nearby now, e.g. a coffee roaster, a social food thingy etc etc

5 years ago this town mostly had just hairdressers on the Main Street.

By "disc", you mean CD? I remember this a lot once CD-ROM became huge in the mid 90s, but most of my DOS shareware came on 3.5 inch floppies.
> So I'll start with a note for all the people intimidated by the techniques the author is trying to use in the post: when writing Rust code you almost never use this kind of stuff

Never write async code? Or expect a library will always cover every use case where async might be needed?
Yes, there are loads of people out there who would love to learn HTML, CSS, maybe some basic image editing, and never have to open a command line. It isn't intuitive to people who live in the command line (why wouldn't you want such an efficient tool?), but it's like convincing someone to like a healthy food they find repulsive.

> Considering way more people use crosswalks than walk across the middle of the street

It is impossible to find good data on this, so I don't understand why you're using a tone of certainty in this assertion. Anecdotally, I find this difficult to believe; it seems to me that the opposite is true (at least here in St. Pete, Florida).

> Following the traditional road safety advice keeps kids very safe: Use the crosswalk, look both ways, be home before dark and don't get drunk.

"Traditional"? In what tradition? My tradition is not to put cars first and make kids avoid death by dancing around them.

Streets are for people. The idea that people need to be limited to crosswalks, exercise paranoia, and avoid them after dark suggests strongly that the points I'm making are very sound.

> there are still only a few hundred child pedestrian deaths a year in a country with hundreds of millions of people.

I don't think a few hundred deaths - among a cohort extremely unlikely to die of any cause - is anything to sneeze at. And again, you are ignoring other causes of death-by-car by focusing on this one ICD code. Why?

> you have an axe to grind against car culture for other reasons.

You got me. I'm a wealthy lobbyist for big bike. I'm sorry I didn't disclose this earlier.
> Rationalism descends from analytic philosophy/logical positivism/scientific method types, so they're into experiments now.

This is false. Rationalism predates analytic philosophy by nearly 300 years. Maybe you mean "rationalism" does.
I think a lot of people saw it differently.

Depp won over $8 million because people are finally starting to take abusive women seriously.

ACLU was exposed for what they are now and their reputation is forever ruined. Anybody who ever tries to cite them for anything will immediately get linked to this case and the argument discredited.
Someone said that his favorite part of shopping at Trader Joe's is afterwards when you go to a supermarket to buy all the stuff you need.

The problem here is that you think you can come to a reasonable conclusion without actual numbers AFTER actual numbers were given clearly. The current situation is that we have massive affirmative action for white people and no plans on getting rid of it.
I believe MaxMind finally updated the default US location into the middle of nearby lake to help stop this issue. How long it takes everyone to update their GeoIP DBs.... who can say?

For a deeper example of this boundary, read "Startup" by Jerry Kaplan: the story of GO Corp.

He has these "conversations" between people 35 years ago, with wildly unrealistic dialog that no human would ever speak. And yet this qualifies as "non-fiction"?

Having done this reconstruction myself, I can tell you that absolutely NO ONE remembers what they said 40 years ago. No one remembers when meetings happened or who was there.

Take, for example, the famous Steve Jobs visits to Xerox PARC. I wasn't there so I didn't include them. But a podcast host told me he's talked to three people who were, and they have three different stories.

There are, in fact, some writers who manage to bring history to life without inventing dialog and scenes that maybe never happened. I salute them.
They have an interesting design principle where they only put stores in places where you feel like you're going to hit someone in the parking lot. I suppose it promotes biking to the store.
Not the grandparent, but I buy produce at Costco, local grocery chain, Whole Foods, and local natural foods co-op. Aldi is basically the worst produce available, second to Walmart/Target/convenience-store. I used to go there for bananas because they were a lot cheaper and acceptable (but lower) quality, but recently their banana prices haven't been lower.
It's the cookies and crackers and frozen food and hot sauce and candy and coffee aisle, of course! Next one over is the soap and pasta and canned goods and spices and dog food and olive oil.
Best possible reply, no doubt about that.
