Where are you and these other commenters getting this falsehood that a significant portion of alfalfa is exported? Is it one of those articles about that Saudi owned land exporting their alfalfa?

> Based on USDA data for 2021, only 3.9% of all U.S. hay produced and 6.4% of all alfalfa hay entered the export market. [1]

In case that's unclear, 96.1% of hay and 93.6% of alfalfa is consumed domestically.

You're calling the wrong people, or people on the wrong networks. I am on Verizon, and certainly if I call another Verizon customer (and I'm pretty sure if I call another carrier), it sounds as clear as if we were in the same room, as good as FaceTime audio or any other high fidelity voice system. You may just not realize it until you call someone else and compare, or hear someone move from their car's older Bluetooth system to cellular when they get out of the car (or headphones, etc), but voice quality has definitely improved to the point of not needing to improve further.
I never hear people mention the Palm Treo. Apple gets all the credit for inventing smartphones with the iPhone 1st gen, but the Treo preceded it by years. Is it not the first smartphone?

One of my first startups was based on Treos, they were awesome devices. Very snappy.
Far from economist, but I kinda agree. Finance is like 6x larger than real economy hence it really rules the world.

> And if you need to write those things, it's not like it's impossible, you just need to drop down to unsafe rust, and ideally figure out some safe way to expose that API.

I'm sure you know this already, but for the people reading this: first of all "unsafe" is a very rare, and it's only "less safe" more than fully "unsafe"; ie it's still safer than C++.

And the second thing is that, often you don't have to drop into unsafe Rust, it's possible to achieve most stuff without it, but might incur a small performance cost (idk if some of those can be optimised away by compilers or not).
Wow I was about to ask if they licensed the name similar to how Apple licenses the iOS/IOS name from Cisco. That’s an interesting bit of trivia that LG is actually using the same OS as Palm!

No worries about chain angle in certain gear combinations.

Front chain ring can be cheaper/more durable/flippable because it doesn't need ramps/pins/grooves.

I did a 3x8 to 1x8 conversion on a hard tail mountain bike I was commuting on a while back (~8 years ago). There was some messing around with chain line, but over all a simpler setup when I was done.

I'd bet it is even simpler to get done now.
It only relies on npm to do the actual pulling of packages and if you so choose, let yarn do the hoisting (workspaces) but everything else, I fail to see how it's simply a wrapper...

There's a ton of stuff like versioning, linking, running scripts/commands, etc across the entire project that npm and yarn do not inherently support.

I definitely think lerna has warts but it provides a ton of functionality that you'd have to ducktape together on your own, which it looks like a lot of people are trying to do as evident by this entire thread...
Rust: Warp.

I like Warp because it's akin to a layer on top of Hyper (for HTTP) and Tokio (for async), and can go down into these deeper layers as you wish.

I'm using Warp now because I'm trying all the Rust web frameworks. I like Rust Actix for larger production projects that favor a more-long-term ecosystem. I like Rust Rocket for its user-friendly ideas and superb tutorials for onboarding.
And am I the only person who has been in a startup going through a "two people per desk" period when growing rapidly?
SRE vs. Platform Engineering – Differences Explained
I've tried FastAPI recently, as the idea matured, I came to regret the decison. It's not bad, in fact it was very pleasant to get started with, yet I found myself missing and reinventing the wheel as compared to django. I develop with Django since 2015 (1.6 or so), to me it is the goto for any web related project.

I used to think my distaste for new and upcoming Javascript frameworks is a sign of getting old and not being as adaptable as I used to. But nowadays my thinking has shifted to seeing it as a instant loss of productivity with little upside.

Just like musicians don't switch instruments every time they see something shiny. Neither should we, or at least without feeling guilty about it. Mastery takes time.
BLS issued job numbers today and May was still very strong. 390K new jobs, participation rate is up and unemployment rate steady at 3.6%. We're in a bizarre situation where labor is in such short supply that eliminating millions of jobs would just bring us to parity and not lead to a spike in unemployment. It would at least relieve upward pressure on wages and possibly put downward pressure.
I really worry about these sort of claims. I'm seeing pushback from people about shutting servers down because it's insisted "a WAF is protecting us now", and that's based on a "may reduce risk".

True, but I suspect that without a truly global prescient scheduler it is almost never worth it to core switch unless you generally have really long tasks.

For an efficient core context switch the scheduler must accurately predict that the source (current) core won't be free for the duration of the full core context switch time and that the sink core will be free by the time the meta context gets there and will have been free by the time the rest gets there. Otherwise, the scheduler ends up thrashing the cpu (it is actually a bit worse as future task might need same context so you have to be aware of the future). So, for the scheduler to know this it would need to be:

- Global: The only scheduler on the system or basically rafting with all the other schedulers on the system

- Prescient: The scheduler(s) would need to be able to predict all tasks, thier context, and work time per task perfectly. Which could really could only happen when everything is static and hence deterministic.

For example, I think most tasks people are throwing at async are web requests. Most actually take the core an order of magnitude shorter time to compute then the time it takes passing the context from one core to another and they are all unpredictable to the scheduler. In this scenario I could see the scheduler taking up the majority of computational time on the system. So turn on multi-threading + async on a quad core and you will get worse bandwidth and latency(always) for all your pains.

EDIT: Although this single data point would tell me I am wrong (see description):

Hi, Filip from Gitpod here!

It is a bit puzzling to me that this would be an issue, since extensions generally do not call any VS Code binaries, they should ideally access everything through the VS Code Extension API (https://code.visualstudio.com/api) and never call any VS Code-related binaries, since VS Code can run on a portable mode as well. If issues like this arise, it is most likely a fault of the extension itself, so reporting should be done on a repository or an issue tracker of that extension. I have never seen an extension call the `code` binary, so I would guess it could realistically only be helpful for some kind of a workaround for an API limitation.

If you have any of these extensions that break on VS Codium, could you please share them with me? I would love to dig for more and help towards fixing said extensions there.
Yes, should be charge not change. Sorry my bad, I blame autocorrect on my phone. :)
Very interesting. I know my opinion on this topic is not normal, but I believe that some kind of 'party' which gives a sense of 'accomplishment' is a missing ritual for scrum-agile. We deeply need some kind of religious celebration to give meaning to our work! Few individual are going to be able to cope in a purely cyclical view of their work, where the pain and sacrifices start over and over again without a sense of accomplishment.

Most companies I’ve ever worked at top grade yearly and lay off 5-10% of the workforce as a business practice. The fifth quartile it’s been called. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here to be clear. But a 10% RIF isn’t unusual.
IMHO the time for doing analysis like this is before submitting code, not before compiling it.

Ideally you want code without unused variables, implicit type casts, ... in a repository. But when you are locally testing out code you're in progress of writing, it is very unproductive if you have to care about unused variables because you're commenting out one line to see the difference, or change casts everywhere because you change the type something temporarily. It'd be nice to only do the work of cleaning up such issues in the final version of your change.

These checks are enabled by default in many environments, build tools or scripts for them etc..., it's not trivial to disable it or requires full recompile.

So I wish a language or build environment would use the concept of "development time" vs "submitting time" for different sets of warnings-as-errors.

For SPAs I still use Backbone.js... Yes, I know, 2014 called and it wants its framework back. But... I like it. It's lightweight and doesn't impose any particular style or philosophy. It's well suited to small projects.

On the back end, for small projects, using a full-fledged framework is usually overkill. Writing a simple API that reads and write normalized data is quite trivial, and when one is writing everything it's easier to understand what's going on.

By this I mean that some behaviors come from the framework and can sometimes surprise you. For example, in Backbone, change events on the model are triggered not when an instance is updated, but only if the new version is different from the old. This makes sense, but the problem is that the comparison is only done on a shallow level. When updating deep properties, no change event is triggered. This took me some time to figure out.

Light frameworks have fewer unexpected behaviors, by virtue of being small.
> For example maybe people don't go to lots of inner city coffee bars in business districts any more but local cafes near residential areas are thriving.

People don't buy coffee on the way to work, people don't buy coffee on the way home, people don't buy sandwiches and snacks, people don't spend money on commuting, people don't spend money at resturants for launch, companies stop having team lunches.

People don't go to cafes locally because they have a coffee machine at home. Most people buy coffee and drinks on the way to work out of ease not that they taste better.

> Maybe bad managers who don't understand how to support and motivate their teams are having problems with people slacking off at home. What if good managers who look after their people and engender a degree of trust and even loyalty are improving their team's performance by making their people's lives better?

This talk of having good and bad managers makes no real sense. Companies aren't just going to fire managers. That would be unfair.

> It seems far too early to draw broad conclusions about the effects of population-scale remote working but early enough to be confident that some people really like it but it's not for everyone and that some types of businesses benefit from the shift away from the office while others lose out.

What is the writing on the wall, specifically, for Tesla though? They're ramping up two new factories and have a massive product lineup outlook. Electric is the future and, while this recession will last a couple years, will be the winning strategy long term.

> There’s more nuance to it than “attempts to overturn civil rights”.

These are repealing civil rights laws in order to recreate government bigotry. Factually, that is what they do.

You can feel that institutionalizing racism is a good idea — the “nuance” you say I’m omitting — but that doesn’t change that these are attempts to repeal civil rights laws which ban discrimination on the basis of protected class.

> are you calling these “Democratic” initiatives because they were the official position of the Democratic Party

Yes — re-creating institutionalized racism is part of the Democrat party platform, using euphemisms like “equity”.
I use http://rivetsjs.com/ in a production intranet project. At the time I started using it I wanted a lightweight alternative to angular/vuejs. I didn’t want the junior devs at the customer to have to learn webpack, etc, but I did want two way data binding, and wanted as lightweight as possible. It has met those needs, and more - it supports creating web components so has let me do reusable code bits also. My main gripe is it’s somewhat stagnant, and there isn’t the ecosystem of components and help like vue or angular.

Still, I’d recommend it for small projects where you need binding.
Another nice thing about TiddlyWiki is that you don't actually have to be a JS programmer to extend it.

It’s like extremely expensive piracy that is bad for artists and bad for the environment.

I wonder if the reason OpenAI, Google, etc don’t release these things isn’t so much that they’re worried about racist/offensive output, but instead they’re worried about people using it to create images of, say, Mickey Mouse and drawing the attention of his lawyers? It’d be better for AI companies to keep all of this stuff in a legal gray area for as long as possible.
The discussion was NOT about the "naturalness of trans people". The discussion was about whether we can dismiss people as bigoted for using 100% accurately defined adjectives as descriptors - such as "unnatural" or "unhealthy". There's a huge difference and if you can't see that distinction then you're probably better off staying out of the discussion yourself instead of trying to shame me for having it.

A good reminder to change it at least. If this were a purchasable product, I envision making the filters replaceable and the frame compatible with some standard furnace filter size, so that you can just run to the store and grab new filters when you can visually see the filter needing replacement.

Contrast this with the furnace filter, which needs some other mechanism (often, a schedule) to determine when to change the filter since it's not readily visible on a daily basis.
> Proprietary software is immoral in general, because it takes away the user's freedom to do their computing as they wish.

Proprietary software happens in the context of a transaction between two willing parties. There's nothing immoral about it.

Forcing proprietary software on large scale (companies, governments) could be classified as immoral, but then it's not about proprietary software - the same could be said about forcing pink socks on everybody.
