hm, interesting. Even better: potentially, instead of negotiating prices one on one, we could form some sort of large collective enterprise that was beholden to us so that it could negotiate prices on our behalf. I'd bet if there was such an group that represented a large enough % of us, we could get some pretty good deals. Now, what would we call it...
I understand your claim. How do we know which explanation, or whether another explanation, is true?

Again, another strong explanation for the change in Bilbo's story: It was a demonstration of the corruption caused by the Ring and its effects on hobbits, an effect corroborated by Gollum's story about how Gollum acquired the Ring - all as explained by Gandalf.
May I ask if you're using the M1 based MacBook or the Intel one?

I'm asking because I've been thinking of getting a MacBook Air in the future with the intent to use it for writing.
This is a very good question, with a lot of different answers depending on your use-case.

One approach is to translate the synchronous call into an async call plus polling on the webapp side. You push onto a queue, with the callback queue in the message body. But that gives you problems when you want deploy a new version of your webapp - existing connection will be disrupted and the state lost.

Since you need to deal with retries, anyway, you can move the logic into the client itself. It will get the request id on the initial response and then ask the service for results.

You see, this solution can vary wildly depending on your scalability, durability and resiliency requirements. And on your budget. Its not wild to expect the response to be big, so you might want to upload it to s3. You might use websockets, too. Technology gives you a lot of options here, of different levels of complexity and scalability ;)
The dichotomy between "compiled/interpreted" languages is completely meaningless at this point. You can argue that Python is compiled and Java is interpreted. I mean one of our deployment stages is to compile all our Python files.

The thing that makes the difference isn't the compilation steps, it's how dynamic the language is and how much behind the scenes work has to be done per line and what tools the language gives you to express stronger guarantees that can be optimized (like __slots__ in Python).
I've come to a personal conclusion that hiring is an unsolvable "problem". When the problem and the product essentially distill to people - many individuals - it unravels. People are unique. There is never a broad, one-size-fits-all solution. Companies are just collections of people. There are way too many variables to ever reach the level of consistency that a product/solution needs to provide in order to retain customers and grow into a large, sustainable business.

In what way are cults common in tech?
I remember a long time ago reading an article in Omni magazine about this very subject - plastic and how studies have shown that it is an endocrine disruptor with unpredictable consequences for people who will consume it by using plastic utensils, drinking cups, dishware, etc and especially by heating plastics in a microwave. They mentioned that many amphibians, considered canary species were being affected by the by-products accumulating in the environment and some were in danger of extinction as a result of them producing more female offspring than male due to the hormonal disruptions.

That would've been back in the early 90's, before 1994, so this is not a new thing at all. I'm pretty sure they mentioned in the article that research had been done for decades prior to the article but that plastics manufacturers were pooh-poohing all the links.

It could also have been Nature, National Geographic, Sierra Club magazine, Cousteau Society magazine, etc since I was a frequent reader of paper materials at the time.
That's... that's horrible. Beautiful, but horrible.

Which kinda describes any advanced c64 technique, really.

> hoarding is owning way more than you need to the detriment of other people.

So hoarding is owning plus the opinion of a Good Person such as Doxina that the owning is BAD because of its size. What if another Good Person thinks the owning is not excessive, then is it both hoarding and not hoarding? Maybe Schrodinger knows.

> Generally using life-or-death situations to run a huge profit is at best considered impolite. Zosima is not alone in thinking so.

Is there any evidence that plastics we use for food containers are harmful? The continued life expectancy of humans seems to show that any harm is very small. This study wasn't feeding them food from a plastic container, it was feeding them two of the isolated chemicals in a solution, so it really doesn't show any harm in itself.

Even drinking water from lead pipes is safe as long as there aren't failures that cause the lead to get carried away by the water. Same with asbestos building materials, etc. Just touching a toxic substance doesn't necessarily poison you.

Python and Pandas are absolutely excellent until you notice you need performance. I say write everything in Python with Pandas until you notice something take 20 seconds.

Then rewrite it with a more performant language or cython hooks.

Developing features quickly is greatly aided by nice tools like Python and Pandas. And these tools make it easy to drop into something better when needed.

> LGBT rates among zoomers is shockingly high to me. 20%, double that of millenials

I would argue that double of zoomers are more comfortable assuming they are homosexuals, or even, zoomers are less afraid to explore and discover their sexuality instead of "I'm not doing X because I'm obviously not gay, I'm macho" kinda of thinking, and are happier for that.

Instead of having one strong standard which everyone uses, you have X of them which makes changing projects/companies harder, but for solid reason? I don't know.

They must be heavy as even the plastic ones weigh a ton and even they are not so easy to install. I've been grossed out by busineses who put plastic on those commercial stations without bothering to even wipe them out from the road and storage dirt and the machines used to cool and heat the water from the jugs are full of hard plastic components, heat the water, which is even worse, and are rarely cleaned up - I always carry water with me for that reason as even a plastic bottle is better than drinking water from there!
They are not as big as in US, but exists.

Most important, is the nature of Europe - it is densely populated, and all largest countries are separated by mountains or big water.

Because of this natural divide, Europe has not unified culture, non unified business regulations, and much less space to grow.

You could consider, US is 300 millions unified culture, and EU 500 millions, but divided to 3-4 most powerful cultures and tens smaller.

So when in US could be one very large company, in EU will be at least 4 different sub-companies for each large culture.

And unfortunately, Internet is business of largest possible scale, need large unified environment.

Example, how made films in EU in 1960s. Typically, films where made by international companies, and very normal was, when in one scene heroes speak on three languages, and than made dubbing to each country, where film exported.

- Hollywood that time already made direct sound tracks, without dubbing. And this was cheaper an faster.

And many languages is not only such difference, there are lot others, each add some costs.

Second important difference, most interest European countries are very densely populated, and land prices are high, but in least interest is not easy to make big data-center, because uncomfortable regulations.

Mean, not easy to find customers in for example, France, but place dc with their data in for example, Hungary.

So in Europe exists large gap for companies want to grow from small, like google at start, to big cloud, like current cloud companies.
That Ol’ Thumb
It's hard to hire. I can imagine that "someone in a high enough position" could have a pretty good competitive advantage being able to hire employees of known and consistent competence without having to slog through resumes and interviews. Once there were a few of this group already working, it would also be easier to close hires with the social pressure. I can imagine that higher ups might be inclined to look the other way about how the individual in question was able to hire so effectively, if anyone could even articulate a compelling argument against it.
I didn't like it for years but then I kind of got into it for testing out machine learning and I found it kind of neat. My biggest gripe is no longer the syntax but the slowness, trying to do anything with even a soft performance requirement means having to figure out how to use a library that calls C to do it for you. Working with large amounts of data in native Python is noticeably slower than even NodeJS.
Neat idea with using colors to edit!

My first stab at something before Recut was a Node script that did a similar sort of thing, just based on silence though, using ffmpeg's silencedetect to find silent parts and generating a cut list. And then as soon as it worked, I was like "well that's cool but I really want it to be interactive" and then... well it turned out that making a UI video editor was way harder than that script haha, but eventually Recut came to exist.

I felt the same way until I tried to get Chromium working without turning into a blurry pixelated XWayland mess. I still run Sway, but the hours I've spent pouring over smug "It's working as intended! X is soooo 2005 anyway" posts while troubleshooting my Wayland config has been absolutely infuriating.

I've also had to pause updates from Visual Studio Code, while they have contributed a lot to Wayland support in Electron they sure do break it with regularity.

AFAIK their promise of "we use machine learning to..." never panned out even remotely. All the processes ended up being mostly manual, with all the tradeoffs that entails.

I use the non-UI snapshot feature a lot more often than video capture so didn't realize that. I guess it was just a more general comment that comes from things like the switching window/app hotkeys. In this instance, there is another issue with finding out holding CTRL does what it does.
On text selection and movement:

- Repositioning the cursor by incrementally searching for the word you want to move to is more accurate, quite fast (3-4 letters is virtually always sufficient to find the word in question), keeps you in the text / document "head", and leaves your hands on the keyboard.

- Yank (y) + movement (w for word, ) for sentence, } for paragraph, 'yi<modifier>' for copy within marks (quotes, braces, angle-brackets, parenthesis, etc.) is also amazingly fast.

- Visual mode can be used to select specific blocks of text where necessary.

- If I want to select specific fields from a file, I'll usually either use tools for that purpose (cut, sed, awk), or read in the entire file and edit it down from within vim. The tools-based approach means I can reproduce the task readily if I need to do it repeatedly.

And finally, where I'm dumping text from some GUI app to vim ... it's still usually easier, faster, less error-prone, and more reproducible to grab the entire screenful of text without specifically selecting what I want (e.g., C-A or Cmd-A (Mac)), and then trim to size within vim. Again, vim's tools permit working with text as text rather than with text as a GUI presentation.

I'm not saying I never use the mouse for text selection, but it is far less common than you might think, and much more cumbersome.

They are technically reusable. I don’t doubt most people buying a reusable bottle get at least a few uses out of it.

However, you have to deal with the risk of misplacing it, theft, destruction, moving without taking it, etc. All of these risks make the value of the reusable bottle possibly better but the low cost of the plastic one use bottles are a real benefit that can be immediately realized
I've not found that to be the case. The first draft might get done faster, but then I spend more time debugging issues in dynamic languages that only show up at runtime that the compiler would find in other languages. And then more time optimizing the code, adding caching, moving to more advanced algorithms, and rewriting parts in C just to get it to run at a reasonable speed when the naive approach I implement in other languages is fast enough on first try.

For most tasks, modern mid-level statically typed languages like C#, Go, Kotlin really are the sweet spot for productivity. Languages like Python, Ruby and JS are a false economy that appear more productive than they really are.
Food waste is deeply necessary. If the amount of annual food waste is less than the unavoidable year to year variance in food production, you get occasional famines.

> The continued life expectancy of humans seems to show that any harm is very small

Life expectancy is a bad measure for two reasons.

1). The major bump in life expectancy of the 20th century is largely due to the number of infants that survive compared to the past.

2). We wouldn't see a decline in life expectancy that's due to exposure in womb until said children were of an age that mattered.

Not to mention pure quality of life issues.

As someone who grew up in a pretty strict “no food waste” household I can say that juggling around four plates just because the college thought I was going to dump most of it in the trash sucked. Hearing someone dropping a plate was at least a weekly occurrence in the dining halls.
