Much of the US midwest 'enjoyed' a similar temp range today. At or above 40°C has been unusual for the upper midwest states ... and it's mid-June.
Wow, reddit comments. Great source.

One of the numerous advantages of of text-only www, as seen through a text-only browser, is that CSS and Javascript do not matter.

As a www user, unless I am filing GDPR complaints against websites using Google Fonts under default configuration, i.e., served from Google computers, , I have no reason to care what fonts a website is using.

Just curious, what utility div classes and what frameworks?

I've tried using tailwind and semantic ui very briefly, but wasn't aware they provided any responsive-oriented classes.
Don't know who the author is but the blog is not new - the post archive goes back to 2014 - and the link for its predecessor blog (the "Old Site") points to a page written by someone under the nom de blog Stockcreeper ("Stockcreeper is a certified economic & stock market expert, a professional stock picker and the presiding president of the Institute of Economic Understanding.") So despite the shared themes, I guess it is not Mencius Moldbug/C Yarvin.

Quality developers know when to use what. It's the legacy code that bites us.
Every expensive, real experiment is preceded by a myriad of thought experiments. The ones actually run are the ones where the thought experiments fall short.
I'm really excited by this! I haven't been keeping up with the 2022 stuff, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised.

I will admit to not liking using '@' for notation much at all in any language - never mind Ada - but I'm really looking forward to having a solution for the problem it solves. I do love me some long names, probably even by Ada standards, so it really will be quite nice. I also can't really think of a good viable alternative beyond simply replacing it with a symbol I just happen to find more visually appealing. So... oh well. It'll probably fade into the background soon enough.
Surely most of us are capable of distinguishing those negativities from the bluntness/imprecision of a non-native speaker, right?
> Well yes, but then you're basically buying an expensive monitor and will need a second device to be the "smarts".

If all you want is a TV (as in, connecting to an antenna and tuning to over-the-air channels), you don't need any "smarts".

(The main difference between a TV and a monitor is that a TV has a tuner, while a monitor doesn't.)
Thank you kindly, that’s exactly the start I needed. Cheers
Dunno why you are getting voted down. This matches my experience, down to the "concerted weasels" description.

SRE Meetup in London, UK on June 21 – PagerDuty Summit Cancelled
PagerDuty Summit in the UK was cancelled 24hrs before it was due to start. We'd still love to do a happy hour with industry folks on June 21st in London, UK as many of you travelled for it.

This will be hosted by Rootly (https://rootly.com/) - come hang out, grab a pint, talk all things incident management/SRE, and have fun with other like-minded folks.

Email andre@rootly.com for a private invite! :)
We completely agree - I was forcing myself to be less blunt, frankly. Well put.

Not my experience at all. The software I work on has no copy-paste examples on the internet. One of the projects I maintain (for example) is a high performance JIT compiler for a functional business rule language. Not many copy-paste examples out there :) What you are describing is only true if you are a basic CRUD developer. Having said that, most applications are simple CRUD applications so you are probably right for a large percentage of developers.
Yep! I switched from C# to Ruby in 2018 and haven't looked back. I'm a web developer and the Rails framework is just so much easier to work with than ASP.NET MVC.

There's a desperate desire amongst some people to believe that money needs to be scarce, much as there is a desire that jobs have to be scarce so that the unemployed are 'disciplined'.

Currently the market is reallocating scarce resources from those without pricing power to those with pricing power. There has been a shift in the terms of trade, but it will settle down because wages simply aren't keeping up with price rises - which means eventually people won't be able to confirm the higher requested prices.

Changing short term interest rates can't address terms of trade shifts - which are productivity losses.

"Cheap money yes messed up any assets (houses, startups, crypto) but that isn't want caused day to day inflation."

Did it? Remember that 'expensive money' is an artificial market intervention - some wonk is artificially setting a base interest rate. Since liquidity is free to produce yet limited by available collateral 'full liquidity' is a stablish state, and the 'natural' base rate of that liquidity is zero. The market then sets the base to retail markup based upon the collateral risk.

If the price of assets goes up due to that, then that is a market signal to produce more of those assets. Build more houses, create more crypto startups, etc.

It's never been clear to me why we don't just let the market move to full liquidity and then just brake that with taxes if need be.
Have you taken an algorithms course?

Working through Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual [0] would be a good start and/or watching his lecture series on Youtube [1].

Other great books include Elements of Programming Interviews [2] which comes in Java, C++, and Python flavors.

It can help to focus on a smaller subset of Leetcode problems to learn the tricks that underlie most of them. Neetcode [3] is a good collection of those problems on which you could focus your time and efforts.

I don't think it's realistic to expect to do well on Leetcode without practicing the above skills to some degree, so I wouldn't be hard on yourself if it's been years since you even looked at the material.

1. If they have an account, you don't need anything but the auth cookie to make your tracking.

2. I'm 90% sure that you can drop those cookies and keep log of their actions serverside.

3. Because you are denying agency to those people who don't want to be tracked. If your customers don't think that you respect them and their choices, they will say "f*ck you" and move to the business next door. People are social creatures and we often do irrational things to reassure ourselves that we are respected by those we deal with.

On the other hand, if you are smart, you can diferentiate on the fact that it is your own tracking. A sample cookie banner is:

This website does not share your data!

We don't use third party trackers and we will never share your data with anyone.

We use cookies only to make the service better and we promise never to use them for anything else.

Button: Yes, I agree to cookies as far as all of it stays between us.

Button: Thanks, I've really considered it and I'll skip on the cookies this time.

First, this is not the usual cookie banner and it will be interesting. Second, it shows that it is a personal relationship between you and the customer. Most people deny cookies because it is like letting someone follow you all around the town taking pictures of everything you do, say or buy. Third, you clearly make a promise to maintain this way of work in the future. Of course, some people will deny the request, but they will have one less reason to do so and it is very likely that they might change their minds.

Finally, you can always think for a better analogy, but think of the essence of it: a business owner asks publicly how to circumvent the law in order to mislead their customers to the nature of the service they are providing.
What’s the game? My team has been playing a lot of conquest.eth recently and we’re ramping up on darkforest, too, now. Would love to check it out of there’s anything available for us to try.
> I’ve read that there are limits to how much weight you can lose per week, no matter how much you restrict your caloric intake.

I've been fasting here and there and I'm down from 130Kg to 98Kg in about 5 months. Apparently your body handles that sense of deficiency better if you fast vs multiple small meals. Something about that large meal letting you experience the "I'm so full" feeling.

There's a study in the NEJM where they tested 3 meals a day vs one. The participants ended up at the same weight at the end, but with smaller waists and less belly fat for one meal a day.

It's all interesting albeit frustrating stuff...

Edit: https://sa1s3.patientpop.com/assets/docs/151222.pdf

I might be remembering the results wrong as I can't find the details in that study, I'm going off this video mainly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thgVz3837l0

If I'm wrong about the results it seems the other benefits make it worthwhile anyway, preventing diabetes etc

In a post-spectre/meltdown world syscalls are a bit more expensive, you'd be hard-pressed to compete with the journal's mmap windows especially for a warm page cache, using pread/pwrite. Especially if you just went naively about it and tried turning every little object access into its own little island of buffered IO. The objects in the journal are quite small, so you'd likely end up having to implement your own page cache/buffer manager in userspace to coalesce the syscalls.

It'd be far more interesting to explore an io_uring based implementation IMNSHO.

I just switched over from Haskell to Typescript.

I spent a lot of time in Haskell and the type system is great, the issues I ran were the stuff around it: an ecosystem often missing libraries available in other languages, Haskell solutionism, and working on code bases where Haskell language experts were empowered (not necessarily the best software engineers), which caused the company to re-invent a lot of services we could have just bought.

I really do think Haskell is the world class typed functional programming language, but I'm also not convinced using typed FP is the panacea some claim it to be. Typed FP doesn't make up for bad architecture or poor dev practices, and it's still 100% possible to code your applications into a mess even with outstanding and talented devs.

So right now I like Typescript, JS, the nvim support that took 20 minutes to set up and the incredible amount of libraries and dev tools. I've only been using typescript for a month or two, so maybe my opinion will change...
If someone advertises their language as having no Null, no reading from uninitialized memory, and no mutation of immutable values, then I really do expect to be able to rely on those being completely absent. It is dishonest and shameful to say "No null" on the front page of the website when the developers are well aware of ways that their system fails to actually prevent null references.

If I'm buying a sandwich advertised as "no cockroaches", then I think it's appropriate to be pissed off about there being bugs in my sandwich, especially when it's clear that the sandwich shop knows all about the bugs in the sandwich and they just prefer to falsely claim their absence.

I would have no complaints if the developers would just describe these things as ambitious goals they haven't actually accomplished yet, instead of declaring that they've completed work they know they have not completed.

The problem was that the developers could do basic tasks quickly (by copy-pasting) but was stuck doing anything more complicated, showing a lack of actual programming skills. You can probably have a career developing simple CRUD applications that way. But you can’t move beyond that without truly understanding the fundamentals.

As much as I'm a SpaceX fan this was 3 independent launches of 3 separate rockets over 3 separate days (though they all landed!). While exciting this rate of orbital launching was already done by individual space organizations in the 60s and speaks more about reaching that scale again than proving something can be done.

More excitingly the quickest turnaround is just over 21 days, or twice as fast as the quickest space shuttle turnaround. This is still a long ways from the 24 hour turnaround SpaceX is aiming for which often draws heavy doubt (just like the reusability factors used to). As much as I'd like to see a turnaround that quick I don't think that'll come with the Falcon 9 generation, maybe with Starship/Super Heavy if we're lucky though.
This 100% was true at my (European) University. The better the University, the more true it is.
If it makes you feel better, she's going to make many billions of dollars if SpaceX continues at anywhere near its current (orbital) trajectory.

(which is worth quite a bit of credit imo)
Did you file a bug? That doesn't happen. Normally you log in. And that's it. On a new device, you can (optionally) verify your account to see previous encrypted comversations. But you don't have to do that.

As for the chat rooms, they work exactly like Discord, which is exactly like every chat client with chat rooms has since the dawn of IRC. You can send a message to one person, or you can join a room and message everyone at the same time.

Hopefully what is not being suggested is that creators of open-source programming languages are not allowed to revise their release schedules, underestimate, or change the number of features it will have.

Languages such as Nim have took 11 years before reaching 1.0, so V is still doing comparatively well. V's pace of development has been quite fast and substantial. More comparable languages such as Zig and Odin have yet to hit 1.0 as well, and are many years older.

Yes, the pace of development is getting faster and user patience less, but V should still be afforded some leeway in this regard.
I think people start with the premise that consciousness is a specific “thing”, that it is unique and special to humans (and maybe dogs because we like them but definitely not spiders and flies because we don’t) and then try to work backwards to define it in some ways that keeps it special.

I don’t think consciousness is so specific, and I think people aren’t clear about how they think about it as something separate from recall, text generation, agency, etc.

My personal experience is that consciousness, like free will, is a useful illusion. Poking at the edges of consciousness (mostly with drugs) leads to all sorts of contradictions and challenges to what people usually think of as consciousness.

Aside: I’m starting to be bothered by the trend of assuming that philosophers have special insight. There’s plenty of shitty, non-useful philosophy, and there’s plenty of articles like this where someone writes in circles like they’re paid by the word. Generating text for hours without an anchor to the real world is not a productive method of generating insight about that world.

> But we must resist the allure of this seductive idea.

Why? Starting with this assumption and searching for reasons it might be true is clear motivated reasoning.
Now that you mention this, would an accelerator in space need walls? Could you make it from a series of big circles (maybe solenoids?) at distances of a million kilometers apart or so? Neptune's orbit is about 15 billion km long, so, you'd need about 15k of such loops. In free fall they would just go around the Sun, so you'd only need to maintain their perfect alignment with some minute adjustments.
I can follow the chain of causality to the real-world value creation from them. I can't do the same with the ponzicoin of the week, where people are only making money because other people are losing it. With no causal chain that leads to anything getting produced.

For a particular example of an interest rate swap, anyone whose business incomes are closely correlated to short-term loans, and whose expenses are closely correlated to long-term loans (or vice versa) would care deeply about them, because they allow them to hedge themselves against unpredictable changes in interest rates.
I do and it wasn't bad. And for literally years now its been great.
If it's something you really want to do, there's no harm in trying it.

You'll develop all sorts of skills that will serve you well in industry should you decide academia isn't for you.

And the opportunity cost of not working in industry those few years will be a drop in the bucket in the long run.
To be fair, most people couldn't name even one executive of a space company except Musk and Bezos. Shotwell has gotten a lot of professional recognition and is well respected by people into spaceflight, but feels like she doesn't get enough of it in more general circles, even though she makes for an amazing role model.
First and foremost, it's unlikely that most professional authors would need to use another tool for writing in addition to Microsoft Word. I haven't used Microsoft Word in over a decade; I've been using Linux and Google Docs for about a decade. I hate Microsoft, but I try to be realistic.

Nonetheless, Google Docs is a much better tool for most ordinary users than Git. With Google Apps Script you can easily use Google Docs as a CMS (content management system).

If indeed your wife actually needs to use Git, instead of teaching your wife markdown, make a bunch of customized headings and explain to her she must not use all of the formatting options in Google Docs.

Techies often tend to try to convert ordinary people to "techie technology." It is usually a mistake.
I like regular JS or python over more typed alternatives. Catching bugs in your IDE still means you made them, and there are other ways to catch and resolve them later in the chain. In the meanwhile, I find that strongly typed setups can devolve into verbosity and get in the way of shipping.

For context, I usually work in <50 size engineering dpts, if not companies. If you're scaling to thousands you can spare the scale, probably.
Maybe things like tailwind's max-w-lg which let's you use a media query to set the width.

I don't see the "Tall Poppy syndrome" thing so much anymore. People don't get "cut" simply for being good at what they do. I see it as a combination of:

- smack talk. Which if you are that good in your game you will expect.

- an assumption you screwed over someone - or many people.

You have to demonstrate you are not an arsehole. Until then, if you are successful, it will be assumed you probably are.

Apple2 joysticks if I'm remembering right we're all analog. They were 2 paddles (1 for each axis). Many had that adjustment so the center was the center, and I'm not sure how many games actually used the analog features or just adjusted to the 8 directions...
> So if we accept that qualia exists (which, after all, seems intuitively sensible), we are burdened with the apparently impossible task of explaining how consciousness can be generated by physical processes. This is the crux of the “hard problem of consciousness.”

In what sense does this task seem “apparently impossible”? To me it seems like we simply don’t know enough right now to explain it, but it doesn’t seem like some unique or special type of difficulty.

We barely know how brains work, we’ve only had theoretical models of computing for a few human lifespans, etc. We literally still make lightweight insulated clothing out of duck feathers cuz we can’t match their molecular machinery. Why would we expect to know how to implement consciousness in a computer at this stage in human history?
What we can be sure of is that, whatever happened, it played out in wood thousands of times.
