I complain about work all the time, I didn't think you sounded like anything :D

> Sorry for the paranoia

No worries--I thought of that after hitting submit. And ya, there are some jobs where I live but I work 100% remote in order to be at a company that uses Elixir and pays me far more than my own country would. Although I'm super happy with 100% remote. I've already blown off one of 2 company meet-ups this year, lol (though really that was more about having to travel).

> I think the real ethical concern here should be that people can be idly fooled into thinking good chat bots are sentient.

I think the opposite is much more scary: that we can convince people that other people are just good chat bots. The internet is already doing a bang-up job of getting us to de-humanize one another, so that's pretty much the last thing we need.
That's not true. Gasoline has approximately the same energy content per gallon regardless of octane rating. In Car and Driver's tests, high octane fuel made a difference of less than 1 mpg.

Some high performance engines are designed to use high octane fuel, but there is no reason to use it on normal engines in normal conditions.

Video file formats is probably one division of "practical computing" where the last 30 years really made a big difference. MP3 was invented in 1991 and revolutionized the music industry. In my impression, DivX had a somewhat comparable impact on sharing and streaming movies.

Modern video compression is so amazing efficient that it always blasts my head how a short movie is only slightly larger then a JPEG still frame. I don't know any other lossy file compression which is similarly amazing.
If there really is only one vet in an area, then how is it judged they are price gouging and not just charging market rates?
As many people as I have seen run through the street in the middle of the night when they're barely visible, I'm less inclined to think of that as 'harmless' and more inclined to think that some of them are nearly suicidal.

Wearing all black at night and sprinting in front of cars on fast, busy roads is not something people should be doing, yet I see it constantly.

That's almost 4x what I spent for my car. That's not even close to a reasonable price.
Without legal requirement to protect anyone, probably no actual liability, besides being accused of wrong job syndrome or cowardice
If you don't want to find yourself in harm's way, don't become a police officer. Legally required or not, they knew the risks when they signed up, they knew what they were trained to do, and then they... didn't.
This means working at companies with massive scale can be far better because you get to make code performant and optimize things rather than just focus on getting features out the door.
I think the problem is that no one wants to take the blame for being wrong or unprepared and the media won't pass up an opportunity to sensationalize mistakes as incompetency, maliciousness, etc..

I wish more of the world could function like the culture adopted by the western airline industry where every incident and investigation is treated as an opportunity to learn and improve the system rather than an opportunity to lay blame.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for anyone directly impacted to expect there to be consequences for the lack of preparedness, etc., but I think the big picture needs to be more along the lines of realizing that kind of unpreparedness isn't part of some grand plan or conspiracy and that working to improve the system for next time gives us better overall value (long term) than punishing the people involved.

At least for government institutions, I think that kind of system could be mandated as long as employees get the same deal as pilots. In exchange for willful participation, with the goal of improving the overall system, you aren't punished for anything that was an honest mistake, misunderstanding, lack of training, etc..
Some languages and ecosystems can be more helpful, though, even if none can save you. Rails is memorization-heavy and doesn't have static types to aid in navigation & reading. Its runtime auto-magic even resists grepping. Auto-imports mean you don't even get a decent list of which sources are contributing to a given file's behavior.

It's also the case that different teams can write it pretty differently, depending on gem choices and which Rails features they lean on. Plenty of other languages and ecosystems are like that, too, but all the above stuff means Rails is exceptionally bad, in that regard.
Yes, which completely ignores the difference between a person who has had this situation forced on them (A teacher or school administrator) and someone who has to choose to enter it.

I think it might be quite a bit easier to confront a shooter when its obvious that doing nothing will result in your death. In this situation in particular I can't imagine how armed teachers would have made it any worse, but can certainly imagine it making it better.

But this isn't the kind of thing that happens overnight. It takes a very long time for people to notice the profits, more people to choose to enter the veterinary field, and for them to finish education and move on to launch their own clinics.

There's also a secondary problem whereby the existing chains can incentivize new vet grads to simply join up. Why go through all of the risk and trouble of starting your own clinic when the local chain is offering a huge sign-on bonus and reasonable annual salary?
The "make my horse a senator" has always seemed to be a clear insult to the Senate and not actually thinking the horse should serve.

Oh no, web3 is almost purely greed. The entire point is to financialize everything possible and try to make money off of it. It's a truly horrific idea, one that enshrines "those with money make the rules" even moreseo than capitalism does.
Well, the above post said the cop vets were price gouging. If the local vets are price gouging too, then it seems to have nothing to do with corporate ownership.
Sure, but it's a very popular language that puts the ability to modify behavior at run-time front and center. It's not like Ruby is special in that regard.

This blog articles feels too black or white.

There's a middle ground between microservices and de-coupling. The UI can be written in JS/TS with a backend written in a more scalable faster language. It doesn't need to be all or nothing? Even if you stick to Ruby pulling some things apart due to separate concern/responsibilities is not a bad approach. Aka if you have workers/cleanup operations they don't need to live in the same code as your REST/MVC code base.

Also, it would be nice if their CI/CD could be defined in multiple .yml instead of one giant file that I seem to end up in most projects.
The reality is that all crypto are shitcoins. And when everything is a shitcoin then the term doesn't mean anything.

It's not capitalism because a licensing cartel artificially keeps the supply of vets low by keeping out qualified PAs and nurses who could handle easy cases.
It manifestly is doing different things. Just because you happen to group them all together as an abstraction means nothing particularly interesting physically.
There was a good podcast on this recently if you want a deep dive into the philosophy behind the statement.

To give you a jumping off point, 'illusion' has a specific definition in the non-dualist domain so you want to make sure you aren't bringing your own from home. You also smuggle in an 'I' and a 'me' which should be breakpoint-inducing words to mention in a philosophical conversation. The people claiming free will is an illusion have rationally cancelled 'I' out of their statements.

You've basically made the argument against free will in your comment but your definitions are loose so you parse it as an argument for free will.

Seriously? Honest question - how does that work? I've always heard that paying for a higher octane fuel than required by your engine is just "throwing your money away." But if you're saying, at least on the highway, if I can get a 28% gain in fuel efficiency while only paying 20% more for the fuel then I'm interested!

The big issue in other fields mostly isn't manufacturing design or construction process. The main bottleneck is with physical goods and long distances travelled you're subject to high shipping costs so people cut all sorts of corners to make things less bulky and lighter. Cheap plastics are far lighter than wood or metals for instance so we see more plastics get used.

Haha, yeah, right. Seriously: don't do this.
That's an interesting thought. How would a single NN instance behave if it was turned on continuously, constantly responding to inputs and adjusting its model to those inputs continuously?

Regardless, I don't think we're going to get something that looks "intelligent", because these models lack agency... the drive or directive to do things for their own benefit, mostly because that would be a useless for us. I think we regard intelligence as another being ("instance" if you will) acting in its own self-interest, and we think it's clever when it does it in a way we wouldn't have predicted.
Crypto is having it's DOT COM moment right now. A lot of companies with not much value crashed and never recovered. After the dot.com bust, the internet didn't go away, it only grew and grew. And, I don't have to tell you what happened to amazon, if you had invested during the dot.com bust.

Remove permitting, licensing, and educational requirements from people selling surgical procedures for animals?

No thanks. I don't actually see occupational licensing as a bottleneck for a job that requires significant education and training to do properly anyway

We don't have a backlog of veterinarians out there who completed all of their years of training but then got stuck getting licensing.

We also don't really want amateurs vets opening up clinics and just winging it with people's pets.

> - just work with in-memory objects (FactoryBot using build or build_stubbed, or just MyModel.new) and stub/mock finders as needed,

Mocking the finders is obnoxious, since ActiveRecord returns a relation class, not an array. Plus stubbing out relational coupling isn't easy (e.g. the user model might have a `company_name` method that delegates to the company table.).

> - or there's this thing people like to hate that was introduced in Rails 1 called test fixtures, which allow you to prepopulate the database with some initial data and then your test just runs in a transaction and rolls back.

Fixtures and Factories have the same issue are vulnerable to inserting unnecessary data for the test. Models may have validation requirements that must be satisfied to be stored, but completely unnecessary for the test. For example, all users need a `company_id` with a foreign key constraint, so to test _anything_ on user, you have to insert a valid company as well.

Maybe I need to re-evaluate fixtures though, since they would be simpler to run than a factory.
Yes, it's called portage and comes with Gentoo. :)

I'm curious as to why the resettable breaker for each eight drives . . .

I presume this was trial-and-error, but how could someone tell that the current is too much for a disk drive which is being, uh, overdriven (to make noise!)?

Or maybe this was a "just in case" situation...?

So cool . . .
I would run on bankrupting the entire city before paying one dime on the police officer’s pensions
Are we afraid won't actually do their job when it actually involves putting themselves in danger? I think the cat is out of the bag on that one.

Quite famously, the police are much better at shooting children [1] than they are at shooting to protect children.

The Uvalde PD consumes 40% of the town budget ($4m of $10m exclusive of a $500k grant they got from the state of Texas months earlier). 19 police officers were on scene and sat twiddling their thumbs for an hour despite repeated 911 calls from students inside. Oh actually not quite nothing: they threatened to violate the probation of a mother on scene [2].

There's an obvious upside to this particular shooter dying but it has one unfortunate side effect: Texas allows information to be suppressed when the suspect is deceased [3]. Had he lived it would've been inevitable this bodycam footage and other evidence would've come out. Now? We'll see.

I've now lost count of the number of times to story has changed from the Uvalde PD. But nothing here will change.

In this case you would've needed enough guns to subdue the police, as the police were threatening to taser and arrest parents who wanted to save their kids.

There's sufficient consensus on both the stronger/weaker gun control sides to agree that police are the most tactically equipped to deal with an ongoing crime, and that you should not interfere with professionals who are already at the scene.
In both cases, it's a 10MPH collision at worst...unless car in front is a talentless driver.

Seems like they conflated 32-bit with lack of memory protection.

(Tangent: IIRC there were Macs where the CPU had a 32 bit pointer width but you could only use 24 bits of address space. And sometimes software would work on this assumption and break with a full 32 bits. But that's neither here nor there.)

But in addition to lack of memory protection, cooperative multi-tasking was also a big problem. It was a pretty common experience to see something do intense work rendering a progress bar and the rest of the system would slow down. IIRC this made having something like a web browser open sometimes painful.
Eventually they will be ordered to release the video, at which point we will learn that much of it is missing, from multiple officers and from the school's cameras simultaneously. We will be expected to believe that officers weren't wearing cameras, or cameras were turned off, or a computer error lost the footage.

That’s actually a really interesting metric. Cost of living has really shot up in Canada while wages have stagnated. Everyone knows that housing has increased dramatically. This leads to less disposable income obviously. I’m 40 and grew up in Edmonton. Once or twice a year, as a kid and into my late 20s, my family and and/or I did a hotel type vacation in Banff or Jasper once a year, which seemed expensive at the time, and multiple times camping in the Rockies per year, which basically seemed free. My slightly more wealthy friends’ parents had a cabin and boat.

Now if I were to live in Edmonton again, I could probably still camp as if it were free but I appreciate your assessment that a minimum wage worked could not. Because I certainly could as a minimum wage worker back in the day. And I probably would never justify a domestic hotel type weekend or week long trip within Canada.
Fair point but no, I expect the legal system to incriminate them. My issue isn't that the cops are acting in self interest, it's that they are systematically enabled to get away with it.

Or more like just create transparency in this case, I don't know if they did anything criminal or not.

Every car I've owned, I've done a compare and contrast on 91 or 93 vs 87 octane gas.

Each time I do the comparison I find that the cost per mile (not cost per gallon) is lower with the higher octane gas. The only time I buy 87 is if I need to fill up a rental car just before returning it.

I used to take the local light rail back in college and it was great. Now, however, I am not located near the rail line and neither is my workplace. In order for me to take public transit, I would have to walk and take the bus. What normally takes me 15-20 minutes in a car would take an hour and forty-five minutes by bus, and involve three transfers (this is one-way, and the return trip is roughly the same time-wise).

Gas would have to become ludicrously expensive in order for me to make the choice to forfeit so much of my day to commuting. It would be ideal if the city I live in expands the light rail system but that's a decades long process.
Because the survivors are risk averse. 2 years ago people were cheering as they proclaimed the death of oil and companies with ~ 60 billion in debt went bankrupt.

Now the Fed is pushing the economy into recession (lower demand) and high oil prices are policy-driven (Russia sanctions), mostly from displaced supply. Investing heavily in this environment is risky.

> I wish more of the world could function like the culture adopted by the western airline industry where every incident and investigation is treated as an opportunity to learn and improve the system rather than an opportunity to lay blame.

Unfortunately, the nature of US politics is such that it's impossible to have reasoned conversations about how to alter these extremely complex and dynamic systems. Entire areas of the solution space are rejected because of ideology, and those rejections, themselves, are highly politically charged.

In what should be no great surprise, later, when the problem isn't resolved, fingers get pointed at those who rejected those alternative solutions or pushed for solutions that did not work, while those who previously got in the way of a more fulsome discussion continue to do so because the foundation of their ideology cannot be shaken by real world data.

So, yes, it would be nice if the world could function as a reasonable and rational place, but when it comes to wedge issues like this, that simply will not happen without fundamental structural changes to the nature of US politics.

All that being said, given Boeing's recent performance, I'd be a little careful to hold up the airline industry as a paragon of rationality and preparedness...
Coinbase security enhancement prevents withdrawal for 48 hours
I believe "negative index" means array[-1] is the last element in array, array[-2] is the second-to-last element, etc.

In the context of "cut", it would mean being able to do something like:

cut -d" " -f1--2

the "-f1--2" (read: fields from 1 to minus 2; it's a range) means to select from the first field to the second-to-last field. (that double "--" is pretty awkward, to be sure!)

Some programming languages (ruby is the one that I know) have this feature for accessing array elements.
