I appreciate you taking a more conciliatory tone (at least in the beginning), many here are just trying to getting into flame wars.

Still, I think you’d be very surprised if you actually spent any time in a court house, those examples you bring are very rare and far from a daily occurrence.

Again, I believe even one innocent person behind bars is too many, but we need to weight that against creating a culture of lawlessness and violence (which is where it feels like many large American cities, mine included, are headed).
Yes, the GDPR applies in the entire EEA, so also in Iceland.
Oh, yeah. I'm not prescriptive about never replatforming. You just shouldn't do it without a very compelling reason and a lot of consideration.

If you've got a dozen microservices written in a mix of ColdFusion, Salesforce, something Microsofty, and some other enterprise slow-and-expensive platform running on leased bare metal with a bunch of third-party licensed support software and you're burning tens of millions a year on that, and you can get a team to rewrite the thing on another stack--virtually _any_ other stack, so long as you go from a dozen vendors to fewer--you can probably justify allocating your entire engineering budget for a year or two just to stop the bleeding.

Twitter built their stack on Rails, ran into performance issues that they couldn't mitigate, and replatformed. That seems to have worked out for them.

Neither of those are most of us.

Sustainable computing, as you're alluding to, is a whole other discussion. It's one worth having, but I hope there's other solutions out there than "write software the 10x slower and harder way", because otherwise anyone who tries it will be beaten by a less principled competitor.
Cons: missing community, a lot less well maintained libraries, needs more wheel reinvention, impossible to hire experienced developers, far worse tooling and editor support.
Are they actually able to sell those assets? My understanding may be incomplete, but it seems like most of those assets are distressed - that's the whole reason the fed is holding them in the first place.
If your house gets cold after 2 hours you do have a bad isolation.
Shelter accounts for 33% of the CPI’s bundle of goods. So “don't even include housing in their inflation measurement” is not a good summary.

Also the CPI is computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not the Federal Reserve.
I really don’t like NFTs, but I think it was a nice idea and website though. Would never buy the NFT, I could see myself buying a physical print though.
How Did They Get Inflation So Wrong?
> So /r/politics is much better because instead of taking down "alternative opinions" they just downvote it? I am not convinced.

Better than moderators doing it. Post something that deviates from what the moderators of r/conservative consider acceptable conservatism and they just ban you. If the community legitimately downvotes you, then at least you're facing garden variety groupthink instead of "my way or the highway" of a couple mods enforcing what is acceptable discussion.

This is a pattern. Trump, at his coyly named "Truth Social" bans more people than Twitter ever did. And not for violent threats, either, but for simply disagreeing with his narrative.
I feel like calling these photos "taken by a chicken" is fairly misleading. The photos are taken automatically when a chicken wanders in front of a motion detector.

To test the claim with a similar example, let's say I run a red light which triggers a red light cam to take a picture of me and my car. I don't think I can claim that I took that photo, or that it is a selfie.
IHMO you are confusing product marketing with good health advice.

Marketing is just a legal way to tell only the good side of a story.

"low-fat" usually means sugar. "sugar free" usually means artificial sweeteners (or something made without sugar anyway). Even "no added sugar" is suspect.

What I've found hilarious is the new "KETO!" marketing craze. I really suspect that most of these products will not induce or maintain ketosis.

(the actual health impact of ketosis is not clear to me anyway)
Basic economics: supply, demand, competition. I believe programmers in India working for Indian employers make far less than USD $100k per year. That means every programmer in India competes with thousands (or more) people with similar qualifications who will work for slightly less, driving the salaries down. American companies employing remote programmers will pay the prevailing rates in the foreign country, because they have their pick of people and the same compensation pressures apply.

Indians who can get a visa or immigrate to the US can of course make as much as anyone else with the legal right to work in the US.

As another comment mentioned, working as a member of a team and communications skills come into it, as does the time difference. Indian English is not the same as American English, so communication problems and misunderstandings come up. Many employers are not set up to sponsor visas, or don’t want the hassle of paying remote foreigners. The big tech companies that do sponsor visas and have outsourced teams can take their pick and set the prices.

Turn the question around: Why is it super hard for someone living in Nigeria to get a good-paying programmer job in India?
No, they're saying that not all optimization is premature. Or that upfront performance considerations in the design are not necessarily a case of premature optimization.
But that also describes the AI's current state, no? It's has no autonomy, yet has understanding of language and at least some understanding of how the world works (albeit only through the lens of language).
> The belief that they will protect is why we don't have vigilantes and mercenaries roaming the streets (for the most part).

I agree, but that has always been a perception, and it has never been a reality.
Demand is too high for the price to fall that low. Plus the city has to get wayy better transportation to the edges of the city limits to really get the inventory they need. Which is multi year+ projects.

Plus Joe can sell at a loss and take his 4k~ monthly expense and locate elsewhere or rent.

I've got two choices:

- I can work with the current architecture and ever inflating accruing debt (yet slowly inflating) feature times which ultimately is acceptable by PM. This will get me pay raises, bonuses, and praise.

- I can work on the annoying stuff which product does NOT want me working on, does decrease feature times, and does decrease debt. This will get me chastised, if I get any praise from my local team members, I don't get it from the people paying me.

Working around the system is punished. Working through the system is rewarded. I get my fat bonuses by making my PO/PM happy. I don't get fat bonuses making my life easier.

Agree to disagree.
Unelaborated nihilism is the most useless of all arguments. If we were to take your point to extreme, we wouldn't get out of bed because everything will disappear one day. So, for a claim like this to contribute something to the conversation, one needs to explain why uselessness of this thing overpowers usefulness of other things.
Noah Kalina at it again.
Bret Devereaux recently went into a lot of detail on this in his blog [0]. Short answer: some things stayed the same (lots of sub-communities didn't see much difference), other things distinctly got worse (lots of people died). The process was also different in different areas. In general, in Western Europe, a lot of regions went from an urban-oriented centralized economy to a more decentralized one, causing big problems for the cities that no longer had the administrative prowess to support themselves.

I think most gas stations make most of their money in the convenience store. EVs would keep people hanging out at the store longer. https://thehustle.co/the-economics-of-gas-stations/

The problem is that Gas stations are usually franchisees of the gasoline producers so they may not be able to install EV charging if say Chevron or Texaco don't give the green light.
Poor people don't hold coins (or really any significant assets), by definition. They live paycheck to paycheck. We should find ways to increase economic mobility for poor people, but cryptocurrency isn't going to help.
I can't claim to be a libertarian, but I don't think minarchists claim to espouse an economic system at all. You may be thinking of left market anarchists. And I'm pretty sure some libertarians will make their point with private force applied to consenting market participants used to secure their capital markets.

Also this isn't meant to be an exercise in ideological critique so there's no need to defend what "many anarchists" think. My post was just there to demonstrate how many strains of anarchism there are and how few goals they tend to share. Also it's partly to remind folks that there are more than just Ancoms and Ansocs out there, even if they tend to be the most vocal in tech spaces.

1) That's a totally different number... Apples and oranges. Conversation in this case is getting an icon on the users phone as opposed to sale. Mobile stores have really really low conversion rates.

2) Assumes facts not in evidence. This is not a universal opinion.

The mobile shill is real... There are reasons to pick mobile over something else. But just shilling the tool and showing your tech bigotry isn't a good way to pick solutions. I'm out.
Yeah, probably not the same at all.

When I was kid I used to work summers on a family-owned free-range chicken farm. I remember being fascinated by the behavior of chickens. I also spent a lot of time figuring out if they could remember me, and some did remembered and where more keen on approaching, they were totally conditioned by the fact that I used to give them some different kind of grain food. They even made the trip to the house about 30 meters away, just these few ones. Of course they probably remembered the food but I was still happy with my accomplishments in the field of human/chicken colaboration.

Which is why equipment to help protect against such threats exists. And, in fact, at least one of the agencies in Uvalde was equipped with such:

It's what I tried to address in the second part of my comment.

A lot of teams don't have dedicated PMs in the first place, but for those who do get those jobs there's an extremely wide and well-distributed gamut of competences and skill sets, even more than developers I'd say. And you have to figure out whether you got a proper one, in which case it's the right thing to run such tasks through them when non-trivial, and then there's the rest. It depends on which market bubbles you've worked in to determine whether this latter group is an outlier or the norm.
"Honey, you are so important to me that I decided to dump you."

If the consumer is not paying for it in some ways (for example in the UK, consumers can pay Which?[1] to access their reviews) - the companies are.

If the companies are the ones footing the bill, I see no way to have a fair system where a few richer players couldn't exploit the system or the review company itself charge companies as much as they can just for leaving them alone and not rigging the reviews against them.

Yeah, android's "accounts" thing really has not worked out in practice. It always felt half-complete and strange, and it's still a very rough experience.

In principle it... might make sense? A system-provided-and-presumably-more-secure login method isn't inherently a bad idea. But without a deeper commitment from them / a better way to actually trust it / more consistent updates from OEMs (lol, yeah right), apps really have ended up generally better and more trustworthy.
that's how all of Google's datacenters are built in my understanding. Water cooling is very expensive compared to air cooling, and only used for their supercomputer-esque applications like TPU pods. I don't know about waste heat recovery but I don't think they use that either.
sure, I've touched on include a bit and removes some of the repetitive code.

I would rather have something like:

release.yml
documentation.yml
security-scan.yml

I know you can define all these in a common repo and then have a few lines to include them but it's not exactly the same IMO.

Not to mention that now I need to pull another repo to see what is going on and why the task no longer works.

Assets tend to correlate in volatile markets. There are plenty of papers discussing this effect. Because of diversification, people often need to sell higher performing assets to cover lowering performing ones.

A friend ran a successful small investment fund, and still went out of business during the last down turn because all his clients had to pull their money out to cover losses elsewhere.
I disagree with the last sentence.

Why should I not hire a person that does pranks (as a general rule)?

For a creative job, like an engineering job, I want creative, humorous, witty, and interesting people. Someone who does funny pranks at the right time gets a pro-hiring indication mark from me.

And another argument for the prankster is that we need fun to stay sane in the gray industrial business world.
Yeah, you wouldn't put out a trail camera and say "look at the selfie this deer took!". I'm willing to grant the author a little slack though considering this seems pretty tongue in cheek
>Do the chickens lay eggs?
>>Yes. They are the best fresh eggs you’ve ever tasted. They are available for $20 each. Pick up only.

Wow, some expensive eggs! Is it because these chickens are now celebrities? :)

Kidding aside, I just bought a box of 10 eggs today for 4 euros (~4,15USD) and thought that was a bit expensive. Also from free-range chicken.

I can find "egg prices around the world", but I can't find a single site where I can filter results by the size of eggs and type of chickens. Here's an idea for a really unneeded SaaS!

> They said that some PE firms were on a mission to acquire all of the vet firms in metro areas and then drive prices up even further because the demand is so inelastic.

This is why medical care (human or pet) and capitalism don't mix well. If you are having a heart attack, you aren't comparing prices, and if your animal "child" is throwing up, you aren't calling around various vets.

You missed that one by a mile bud. You’re justifying forced work camps. You’re in the wrong.
It’s a modern mixed economy. Full capitalism was the previous stage, when unlicensed doctors traveled around selling people radium cures.

It’s actually very surprising we trust doctors so much (have inelastic demand for them) because for most of history doctors were more likely to kill you than not.
I'm not sure I understand your point. The shooter was stopped by border patrol officers who risked their lives to end the shooting, so yes, there are people willing to step up and save lives. In this situation, these people were rarer than anyone would have liked. But we will always need them to stop violence, regardless of if guns are generally banned.
I wonder if these crypto companies secretly pay engineers to introduce bugs at convenient times like this. Would such a thing be illegal?

re: meta

Fighting games have this to the nth degree. Fighting games are split communities (really any game that is high skill ceiling) between those that have been playing seriously for years/decades and those who just play.

SF6 is coming out in 2023 and it will be "solved" within a month or two. Once top players get to a tournament and show strats, the entire meta evolves to the rest of the community.

Just like you cant get security through obscurity. A game can only fake depth when there isn't communication. The identification of top strategies is inevitable and rapid. But the experience of executing and being a top player is completely within the realm of design.

Devs want to fake depth, but players wont play fake games.
This is not about seeing all view points: it is acting on all of them, to the extent it could act.

If you enabled the table-AI with the ability to act in the world, it would directly fight against itself, and ignore itself, and everything in between, as it is doing everything possible. It would be Hitler and Churchill, Noam Chomsky and Dick Cheney, Jesus Christ and the Buddha, and everything in between. Or, more to the point: the concept simply doesn't make sense, and it is definitely not an intelligence.

Generally speaking a DC is designed for doing a bunch of different things that have less punishing interconnect needs, whereas supercomputers are designed for doing fewer things with higher interconnect needs. Datacenters often look like rows upon rows of racks with weaker interconnects between them, whereas supercomputers are much more tightly bound and built to work together.
There’s moreutils for an older rethink of the same set of utilities. I don’t see why an evenmoreutils wouldn’t eventually become popular enough to take hold? Probably not as quickly as you’d like in today’s world of instant gratification, but we’ll get there, eventually.

You can’t have a monopoly in an industry with no barriers to entry. Cartels aren’t stable because every newcomer has an incentive to defect.
When infrastructure costs are your largest business expense, then having two separate providers for a duplication of services is not feasible. You must also then have methods by which to determine when the service is unavailable and seamlessly fail over to the service that is actively running.

In cases where data integrity is important, this could also result in splits where data gets left behind. It is often better to fail than to have situations where the data does not match.
And now I have to deal with this supremely crappy Spring Boot which would convert compile time Java errors to runtime exceptions. Turn already verbose 100 lines stack trace from Java into 5000 lines of Spring infested stack trace. I guess I just couldn't praise enough this Spring Boot.
> } *x = new X[100]();

This C++ coder seems to have a habit of writing unecessary constructor argument lists. The example works if we change it to:

*x = new X[100];

There are situations in C++ in which an extra constructor parameter list will do something different, so I'd be wary of this candidate.
Because we will have the blueprints, and because there is a definite possibility to have sane people test for emergent qualities.
You're removing all the oxygen from the real debate: police officers are expected to rush an active shooter scene to end the threat. Containment only increases the casualties. This has been the best response for a long time. Read this: https://www.theiacp.org/resources/policy-center-resource/act...

What has seemingly happened in Uvalde is a complete betrayal of that typical response. Officers contained the threat, allowing it to fester inside the school for an hour. When going in, they focused on the children instead of the shooter, getting even more children killed because of this.

That they are not legally required to put themselves in harm's way does not mean their coordinated response must be whitewashed.
I do drink water sometimes. But during the day, when I'm working or out at a restaurant it's 99% diet soda. I haven't tasted sugar based Coke in over 15 years because of my aversion against sugar.

This is something we need very desperately right now - DESPERATELY.

And despite that, this was the feedback from some of my colleagues (referring to this: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/raw/master/karate-demo/...) :

"I not like syntax but docs looks like good_)"

"I also don't like the syntax. In the past, Ive ended up writing a lot of code that amounts to syntax configuration without a ton of benefit. Arguably, it's so that non-developers can read the tests, but in practice they still don't."

Most of our complexity comes from having to test against two independent systems - deployed smart contracts and a database. Anyway, let us see if they try it out.
Looks fantastic, will give it a try. One thing I like with SmartAudioBookPlayer on Android is for the sleep timer you can have it give a light chime and then a fadeout period - if you want to extend it you just slap/shake the phone enough to have the gyro or whatever detect motion so you don't need to open your eyes and have the light wake you back up to whatever extent. I didn't see that in the app feature list but it may be there, looks like everything else I like already is. Oh, assuming it lets you listen 'offline' with a local copy :)
Except that new browser won’t support Active-X or Java applets.
