It is not only about the looks, but also about the sound. You can hear wind turbines quite clear, and since they emit defined frequencies (as opposed to white noise), the noise can be quite annoying. I would not want to live close to a wind turbine even if I could not see it.

Re-read what you wrote again. You're just not discussing in good faith...we're done here.
Workers in universities are broadly divided into two categories. Academics, which are usually under the direction of the Provost, and Administration, which is just a bucket for everyone else. From my experience people in the academics side are treated in a completely different manner than administration. If the great resignation were to hit academia it would probably happen on the administration side as those personnel of treated like garbage, underpaid and understaffed, and shit on by every person with a Dr. in front of their name. When I was working at Regis as a software developer they wouldn't pay me more than $65k/year when the going rate was $85k for a Jr. After 5 years as a software dev there I jumped ship and got a dev job with a Sr. title for $120k. They've never been able to replace me with a better dev because no one will work for those kind of poverty wages in Denver.
Dude, you wrote back to a spam email and you're telling us that you're at your breaking point because they haven't responded to you within 2 working days.

I don't think the public issue was with Chesa Boudin and the police. It was his own prosecutors, that campaigned with him, that started the recall.
A ton of people, including many in technical or technical-adjacent roles, don't really directly use a lot of what they learned in school. Yes, learn how to learn, critical thinking, etc. But directly use what they learned in XYZ class? A lot less.
Are Ivy League colleges famously demanding? I haven't seen their CS departments on any rankings or similar that would imply they're particularly good. Law, sure, but CS? And given some of their most notable graduates, and what it took both to get in, and what led to their successes on getting out, I'm not sure "working hard" would be the description I would give it (though, of course, it's the description they would give, since meritocracy sounds a lot better than oligarchy/good old boy network).

I've lived in SF for ~12 years and the way my mother speaks about SF from what she sees in the news you would think I'm living in Mad Max. My own 2 cents:

1. The problems with crime and homelessness is not particularly worse than it was 11 years ago. When I first moved here my boss, an SF native, proudly told a story of being bit by a homeless guy on Market while protecting his date and getting tested for every disease. Many parts of the Mission, SOMA and Market used to be _worse_ before they gentrified. Today most people consider 6th street to be rough, but when I moved here, 6th street all the way 10th street was rough. The day I landed in SF I was told by multiple people not to leave items in the car or they would be broken into (again, this was in 2011).

2. What has changed is the media reception of San Francisco; drastically. During the Obama years there was no effort to paint any city as falling over to crime. I remember back in 2014 or so, there a guy who wrote a post complaining about having to step over poop on his way to work on Medium and he was practically exiled. Now the atlantic can post the same story without worry.

My own feelings are that San Francisco effectively priced out 20-somethings and all that's left is jaded 30-somethings who are tired of living in the city and are just sour grapes about it. Without the younger crowd to constantly defend how magical it is everyone is free to shit on the city. Anyone who's telling you about how much better San Jose/Mountain View/Palo Alto probably wouldn't have liked San Francisco 10 years ago either.

My ongoing gripe with the city isn't crime; it's housing. Almost everyone interesting, even in tech, who was working on getting their weird startup ideas off the ground can no longer do that in SF. Likewise the city is filled with spick and span elite school grads who work for FAANG but would have never considered Facebook over Deloitte 10 years ago. The cost of housing has made experimentation impossible.
Not a spam email. And is it so difficult to provide bare minimum information past the equivalent of "Did you know we have open positions?"
What is "the root of most crime"? What should society do with criminals instead?

If they are ready to pay, then they can buy a sample of both and spend some time testing the products.

If it is the bean counters who choose, then they are buying cheap for the sake of cheap.
I love people like that. They have a whole philosophy constructed around this and that. I laugh at the amount of thought that went into the reasoning why they would rather not have kids. When they start dishing out these little nuggets of wisdom I just think to myself "it's better you stay childless". Imagine the little wise-ass this guy would raise. Poor child.
To be fair, you can just change the hashbang and write your start up script in lua instead if you have an axe to grind with sh for some reason.

>they've taken the lead in terms of real world impact of ML

Maybe from a US lens this is true but FB and Google (android) have much larger worldwide impact on most of these fronts where they did the leg work, published their research (which certainly aided apple who rarely publishes) and had the features out earlier.
> There are actually 2 cities.

I think your comment can teach an important lesson in statistics. Without proper segmentation, totals and averages and medians can obscure real and important results. (This is only one part of the general "garbage in garbage out" data-quality problem BTW.) If the arbitrary political boundary that defines "San Francisco" were changed so that it actually became two cities, it would be abundantly clear that one of them has severe problems and it would probably qualify for all sorts of state/federal assistance that the current aggregate does not.
1. Because Germany is still producing 6× more energy with coal than Poland;

2. Because Germany deliberately shut down low-carbon footprint nuke powerplant to please their voters, then built coal-burning plants to compensate for the lack of production.

3. Because Germany is the first economy of Europe and arguably the top political power (which is not the case of Poland, far from it) and thus should be leading bby example.

> It's almost as if Germany proving the model that you can reduce CO2 while turning off nuclear plants that is the underlying problem.

Germany is not proving anything: today is a good day (https://app.electricitymap.org/map), and her electricity is still 4× carbon heavier than France, and closer to Balkan-level than Western Europe level.
In their employment capacity Elon Musk and other people who work for Tesla have an incredibly large budget. They can use that budget to downsize in a way that complies with the law.
>don't want to constantly learn new skill

For programming at least this is seriously overblown everywhere. Might be legit for regular IT stuff

You don't really have to do it on your own time, and the new stuff you have to learn is most of the time same shit, different face.

Good fundamentals make it all feel the same overall blob of knowledge with different expressions for the same stuff

Won't stop the people doing the hiring from asking for experience with the different face for the same shit they are doing, of course.
Eho needs cheap and reliable energy (you know from where as in last half century) or safe a bit more expensive one (wink wink France) when you can build useless wind farms and room whole landscape! Germany FTW, the suicide way, inflation FTW, people can handle anything to die for green energy. Can't wait for more exits from this union detached from reality.
There's a program for this, https://espanso.org/ You can add some trigger words in the YAML file.

for example :

- trigger: ":date"
replace: "{{mydate}}"
vars:
- name: mydate
type: date
params:
format: "%m/%d/%Y"

If I type : date (without the space) it would automatically convert it to 06/08/2022. It's pretty cool.

I also found this one https://www.autohotkey.com/ but I haven't tried it yet.
>but when you want to give users a file you'll be sure they can play, you give them an MP3.

Or AAC-LC. Which is so much better than MP3 while having the 99.9999% compatibility. ( It is pretty hard to find something that support MP3 and NOT AAC )
Most of society's direct expenses in their education is in the K-12 phase, not in the undergrad or graduate schooling. A baker, landscaper, and a computer programmer all had very similar levels of direct educational investment. I don’t think the computer programmer has any different obligation back to society than any of the others.
Right, it absolutely depends on the operator. Some just aren't really very clued into it yet (or seem to deliberately exclude it, including a lot of pay as you go providers)
Open pit coal mines are less visible... Because they are a massive hole in ground and you look over it.
Yeah but it’s not as bad as saying ‘watch this match for $5.00’. In order for cyberlockers to make a profit they have to have a massive catalog of content and done at huge scale. Lockers are more ethical IMHO. (Still damaging to rights holders though)
I definitely wouldn't post on legaladvice. Too popular of a sub; too many people playing lawyer; because this is Tesla and Musk, too many polarizing talking points.

Having the actual .com domain for your business signalise quality and authenticity, difficult to imagine Amazon having getamazon.com.

That being said, I also spend many (good hours) dreaming away while buying all sorts of domain names for my fictitious startups. I found that when using the startup niche as suffix or prefix, the domain is sometimes available. Had plenty of luck buying "git-what-ever".com domains, like git18n.com (though I am not sure how clever that naming really is).
Exactly this. 670 people pointed in the wrong direction aren’t going to be effective.

The turnaround of Apple under Jobs was another example. They went from 3 months away from bankruptcy to the most valuable company in the world. The value multiplier of a world class CEO is huge.

They being said, some of them suck and should be forced to pay the company back for how much harm they have done. Like Léo Apotheker, who spent a brief period as the CEO of HP… selling off the recently acquired WebOS and almost selling off their PC division. I can’t help but ponder what might have been if he didn’t sell WebOS and they had a CEO that invested hard in mobile and integrations with the desktop. We might have another viable mobile platform. That one bad decision likely cost HP more than their entire staff salary.
I was under the impression that Box86 would not work on the M1 because it wants to run in 32 bit mode, and Apple did not implement 32 bit mode on their processors.
Cool, now it's optimized and it manages to export up to a million lines in 30 seconds. What do you propose to do when the next customer wants to copy 1.5 million lines?
There's one perspective that all value added in the economy is the result of energy input. De-industrialization and off shoring of heavy industry has allowed G7 countries to decrease energy/GDP ratio, but the total amount of energy consumed increases, only decreasing slightly during a recession.
It never ceases to amaze me how much improvements Blender is getting all the time. I've never used it much, simply because I got burned in the past by the (legacy) esoteric UI, but it has increasingly become a joy to get started with and just noodle around with.

There are other cool open source tools of course. Blender could've easily remained another one of those hard to use niche applications, but they've definitely managed to transcend that.
Climate Change Threatens Archaeology
>> I don't know if it's new, very rich, residents who shudder at the sight of anything outside their sheltered worldview (like homeless people or people addicted to opioids on the streets, which probably was exacerbated by the pandemic)

I wouldn't say that shuddering at open drug use on the streets indicates a sheltered world view. In most major cities that is not a normal problem. I live in a much larger city than SF for example and, although you occasionally see people walk by who are high, the only open drug use I've seen anywhere in the city is weed. I've never seen someone shoot up, I never see used needles, and this includes in more deprived areas of the city. It's just not normal.
Yeah, I wasn't saying they were good for society. But they do seem to be good for individual police officers.
> Then if we want to disprove the null hypothesis there we give one programmer brainfuck and the other Python

Hence "reasonably well supported modern general-purpose programming languages".

I think this null hypothesis is where most sufficiently jaded working programmers end up, and business leaders without a programming background will start there because it's all Greek to them. I'm not here to prove its correctness, just to raise it as a very real factor working against Haskell's adoption.

Nothing would delight me more than for somebody to come along and unequivocally prove that Haskell is a silver bullet. But the point here, really, is that nobody has yet.
It’s my first name, and unfortunately there’s an underwear company of the sAme name, but I know for a fact they’re misers (I know, I get their emails sometime).
Elon did say that there would be provisions for exceptional employees. Tell management you're onboard to be fully in office by X date (January 2023) and ask if you can make up for this with a few scheduled in office time periods between now and then, meaning you spend a week in the office and stay at a hotel. If you're a employee that's delivering value and kicking ass they should accommodate you and if they don't there are better jobs out there.
This article is brimming with incorrect assertions, such as these:

>The self employment tax rate consists of 15.3% of your adjusted gross income.

>You pay an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on the amount that your annual income exceeds $200,000 for single filers, ...

>If you suddenly receive a windfall near the end of your tax year that throws off your estimate, you are still required to file an amended return.

> Net income is determined by subtracting your gross income (total income) from your losses.

>But for anything [business asset] over $2,500, Section 179 applies and things get a bit more complex.

>the recipient of a prize has to pay taxes on the value of the prize if that prize's value is over $600. [prizes under $600 are taxable]

>Clothing with your company’s logo [...] are deductible.

Granted, there are a lot of complexities that are difficult to summarize succinctly, but when even basic terminology and concepts are this sloppy, it would be better to just refer the reader to the IRS publications, which are generally well-written at a text-book level.
That only seems to be considering aspects of deterrence that depend on the person making a choice:

> In broad terms punishment may be expected to affect deterrence in one of two ways. First, by increasing the certainty of punishment, potential offenders may be deterred by the risk of apprehension. For example, if there is an increase in the number of state troopers patrolling highways on a holiday weekend, some drivers may reduce their speed in order to avoid receiving a ticket. Second, the severity of punishment may influence behavior if potential offenders weigh the consequences of their actions and conclude that the risks of punishment are too severe.

Jail time can reduce crime by a third mechanism (I'm not sure if this would be considered "deterrence" or something else but to the people the crimes would be committed against it doesn't really matter) which does not involve any decisions on the part of the person, rational or not.

Namely, during their time in jail their opportunities for committing crimes are greatly reduced. Consider someone who would normally rob one bank every 6 months. If that person spends 10 years in jail every time they are caught, and is caught within a month after each robbery, they are going to commit under 10 bank robberies over their lifetime.

If they only spend 1 year in jail after every robbery they could commit they could do 80 or more robberies over their lifetime.

Whether the cost of keeping them in jail 10 times as long is worth it for a nearly order of magnitude reduction in the number of robberies they commit is worth it is an entirely different question.

That part struck me too, but especially the part about using "intersectionality" as a weapon. I put the word in quotes because I want to highlight that it's the use of the word rather than the concept that offends. AIUI the whole idea of intersectionality is to recognize that even someone who's privileged in one way might be deprivileged in another, and vice versa. It's supposed to be inclusive. Using it as a trump card (pun/insult very much intended) to exclude others or shut down conversation seems abusive.

A lot of us like the competition and continuous push to improve to keep up.

I am one of those people. This is the environment I've known since high school.

I love it because otherwise there'd be no big challenge to overcome, nothing straightforward to strive for. And this career is one of the few that gives me a very favorable shot at becoming wealthy. That is, wealthy enough to own a home in a beautiful, expensive state while not needing to work until I'm 50+. All without absolutely insane hours after finishing college.

Overall, I'd just be so BORED without the constant push to improve & learn this industry provides. Clearly that isn't for everyone, and obviously the equation changes as one gets older and settles into family life. That's what management is for (I'd say the best managers still dive deep into the newest tech and have a great understanding of everything their organization does, though many I've seen don't do this and still are competent).

If anything, I get the itch that I'm not doing enough all the time. I'm strongly considering entrepreneurship after my current gig for the challenge of that work environment.
Seems like a huge # of techies I meet out here are trying to reach a million dollars in savings in a job they hate so that they can "go live in a cabin in the woods." I try to tell them that my Cousin has been doing that for 40 years, and he dropped out of high school and worked at a gas station.
There are lots of reasons why it is not easy to determine surgeon performance but it's not impossible.

I'll let you make some quick inferences using this video https://www.nejm.org/do/10.1056/NEJMdo004274/full/?requestTy... from this paper https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1300625

Crucially, if you can get someone to hide which surgeon is skillful and which one is not and view the video and judge for yourself, you might be surprised at your skill in differentiation. In my experience, my friends have 100% guessed which surgeon is better correctly. So it is possible that this is Sorites-style.
Yes, FreeBSD these days does not really have any unique selling point. Anything you can do on FreeBSD, you can do on Linux. But you can also do them on FreeBSD, and usually do them well.

But having some variety is good thing in itself, IMHO. I recall some major DNS company making a point of always running a mixture of various hardware/OS platforms to ensure that a problem with a particular configuration would not take down the entire site. (This is a bigger issue, too - on the server and desktop, you basically have the choice between Windows and some variant of Unix[0]. There are a few alternatives on the server, OS/400, OpenVMS, z/OS, etc., but those are pretty niche.)
Do you really think these are the two options to choose from? Really?
Food prices, fuel prices, shortages of goods, economies running on fumes, devalued currencies, institutions that spent all their credibility on Covid, people see the ruling class as out of touch, etc, etc. It seems like the masses are being squeezed on all sides. Some nation, somewhere (I don't think it's gonna be the UK) is probably gonna reach its breaking point if this continues too long. Will they do an economic tailspin like post-Soviet Russia. Will they go out with a bang like Libya? IDK, I don't have a crystal ball.

To clarify to some of the replies:

"Forking Jekyll Now" is a different concept from "Using Jekyll".

"Jekyll Now" is a preconfigured repository for a blog, that can be used straight away (after configuring the author and blog name in the configuration file, of course).

This is probably an extremely simple way to publish a blog; using bare Jekyll and configuring a blog from scratch is definitely much more work, and I don't classify it as "simplest solution".
