Mentees can choose from free, pay what you want, or monthly basis mentors and select 30 min mentoring

Anybody want to help me build this out?

or Have experience building out a mentoring platform?
2 seconds on my phone. This is new tech, I'm sure it'll get optimized. JS engines have thousands of man-hours into them.
I must run in different circles because I had to Google it. Probably the only thing that made me laugh audibly today.
Meta AI's Opt-66B Is Finally Available
I had a 5 with a comically low page count (probably < 30,000) but switched because it was very slow (although seemingly equipped with a large amount of memory) and a string of problems with the available aftermarket cartridges (ghosting that suggested low-quality or worn-out drums, and I assume they aren't really making NEW ones anymore).

I suspect the modern driver ecosystem just rasterizes everything and sends a dumb 92Mb bitmap instead, because even a $19 inkjet printer that can only buffer a single line of inbound data can handle it.
Hey tmtd! Looks like our best bet might be to "hopefully" start hiring infants and young children into the workforce to make up for the attrition.

Heaven help us :)
Counterpoint: it also rewards oversimplification and hyperbole.
Looking for mentors, and mentees
This is a low effort "gotcha" way of dismissing the work of real humans who are struggling to meet newsroom deadlines and productivity schedules as their industry gets picked over by vulture capital in the wake of online news, craigslist/social/app classifieds, and social/search ads hoovering up most of their revenue streams.

(I agree these are cheap, fluff news--but it's hard to judge most individual reporters when you know the ground financial truth of the industry. Even at pretty venerable publications people are having to hustle hard for salaries that few people with programming jobs in the same city would even entertain. People at smaller legacy news outlets are working for schoolteacher wages or worse without the benefits or job security.)
Blocking the tailscale website has nothing to do with blocking the VPN. I know you're passionate about them, but I think you got baited here...
If only they allowed switching from Google to GitHub...
Yup, at 65% I'm wondering whether most people are voting based on Object Pascal rather than the Delphi ecosystem. It is not a good ecosystem, but Object Pascal is quite enjoyable to work with (really makes you think about memory management).
> that statement would only be valid if e-cigarette had zero net impact in smoking adoption

As a minor point, it could still apply with a slight overall increase of use. The required scale is far closer to zero than what it actually was, but of how many new people vaping would you accept if it suddenly caused all smokers to never smoke. It's an interesting question of which is the best for public health.
That's interesting. I played with Svelte a couple of times and I like it.

But since it's kind of niche among the rest of JS frameworks, I'm wondering, what made you chose it over the alternatives?
you have to select the tweet, then scroll down past the rest of the thread to see replies to that specific tweet. then go back and load next tweet and do the same.

There's two main "foreign" forces at work in the USA that have more power than the average Joe/Jane, but I'll let you do the math on which forces those are.
People believe in pseudoscience on their own volition and at their own peril. It's not a given for me that actual scientists should spend their valuable time throwing a line out to try to save them from themselves.

It’s kind of amazing how putting English through a food processor exposes its Germanic roots.
I'm 99% sure that google supports openbsd because that also includes libressl, openbgp, and other solutions in addition to openbsd - it's a "generally good for the internet" scenario.
I have not experienced any of these bugs. My shared images always load, my automatic updates always work, my code format tags work in chat, the autoupdate is so invisible that I've never noticed it, and the UI always loads.

One thing you listed I do have, but I don't consider it a bug:

> - shared images sometimes give you a placeholder empty box while loading.

That's to let you know that it's loading, and to expect an image to appear.

I use teams on MacOS (intel), Windows, and Android.

Are you on some weird or old beta version?
And that means their measurement contributes to the noise when attempting to identify the long-term causal trend. Taking the median is the correct step. One doesn’t measure the output and assume it’s the input.
Who’s talking about blocking a website?
Yeah I'm not so sure. Browsers need to ship python natively, and then we can just drop wasm and run python directly with a pythonic interface on the DOM.
> I like the principles but not the details

Could you be more specific about what details you don't like?
It is a bit of a misunderstanding to say that the work hasn’t been funded. It has been funded by lost earnings. If the developer instead could have made (say) $100k working on something else, then the funding was $100k. The same way that not selling a car you have been given for free cost you the money you could otherwise have made selling the car.
We kept encountering the same issues you mention.

Our teammates weren't satisfied with the outsourcing company and didn't like being interleaved between projects (formally or informally). And with negotiating down lower rates, the clients they tended to attract weren't exactly tech companies, which was uninspiring for our latam teammates.

We believe that by providing a platform that lets tech companies provide a premium developer experience, similar to the "Silicon Valley engineering culture", we can provide access to teammates that aren't typically found on Toptal/Turing nor at the typical outsourcing firm.
Barley wine is a thing. I think the ABV (and yeast used and process of the ingredients) is more an indicator IMO of it being a wine vs something else.
Sexy Son Hypothesis
I work with (a fork of) Mercurial + a huge codebase. Checkout and merge operations in a local repo frequently take minutes. Perhaps there is something I don't understand going on, or perhaps it is the age of the fork. But I don't think so it, because I think it would have been fixed.

> I spent time and ran tests.

Ok? Share 'em. The scale I'm talking about is ginormous though. (Roughly: multiple GBs, 100k+ files & probably 250k+ commits in history).

For all I know it could be state-of-the-art performance for the scale, but repeat tasks taking minutes is still bad news.
Sure, but my point is more that legislation on e-cigarettes and soda is an issue of civil liberty, plain and simple, and legislation on plastics has little to do with them (unless you think that it's your right to pollute the environment). You might not think that it's effective, but it's not a case of the government telling you you can't do something for your own good.
> the explanation that otherwise people won't keep reading had escaped me

I think you had it right the first time: the medium is the message. Twitter posts can only be 240 characters, and there is no explicit mechanism relating those "1/n" threads together; you can't even "link to a thread", you can only link to a post. Therefore, each independent thought must fit in 240 characters, which naturally leads to punchy tweets.
Yes, I get it.
It made sense to me. They’re saying that not all anti-porn people are engaging in anti-porn hysteria. Ergo, your argument doesn’t make sense - you’re relying on all anti-porn being hysteria.
The creator of GIF file format spent years trying to get people to pronounce it JIF. You know, just saying... It didn't work.

But… you don’t have to respond to slack in real time. I just check slack a few times a day. It doesn’t interrupt me because I don’t let it.
Not sure that will happen given Python's resistance to incorporating a JIT. The only reason Javascript has acceptable performance is because there's been an absolutely insane amount of work on v8.
Takes up to 3,000 gallons of water for a 600lbs Lithium ion battery that has caught on fire.

Most promising put out of EV fires is “dunking” the EV: erecting a portable tank wall around the EV on fire and pouring water into it.

Dunking helps to contain environmental spread of 7,000 cells of chemicals. Unfortunately, dunking doesn’t work everywhere (ie, ravine, ditch, pileups, uneven ground).

What till you hear how many non English words are in your everyday vocabulary.
Maybe a good first step would be to stop with the "trust science" thing.

Science is a process, a means not an ends.

It's heavily influenced by human factors, such as funding, tenure, reputation, etc...

It's sprinkled with outright corruption.

We have systems to mitigate and correct for those things, but those systems are fallible.

Instead of "trust science" appeal to authority - we should be pushing critical thought, logic, reasoning and basic statistical methods.

That's a hard sell though, because there are people and institutions that profit from being the gatekeepers of "truth".
Oh, Ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize they didn't replace the generation capacity elsewhere --but yeah the hospital would take precedence over university operations.
It’s unclear that’s the case, because there are other limitations at work! Merging is a huge time cost and slows down two lanes; the more lanes, the more merges are necessary to use the new lanes. There’s some work suggesting it makes more than three lanes in one direction essentially useless in urban areas - and that’s where the traffic is…
A state legalizing marijuana refers to repealing that state's laws against marijuana. In California, you would not be breaking any state laws by smoking marijuana. You would be breaking federal laws.

This is a laudable effort, but I'm not a fan of shipping the entire interpreter. I looked around a few weeks ago and found https://transcrypt.org, which compiles your Python script to JS, so size is minimal.

It's great for shipping small, internal tools/apps, I love how maintainable they are by all the Python devs, plus they're very fast to load and execute.
I'm wondering if anyone reading this thread (maybe ones who are shaking their head as they do so) knows of an existing meme for things of this sort. 'Snake oil' is the completely wrong metaphor here.

I'm thinking Greek mythology, sirens perhaps.

Learning curves that start with a cliff tend to be self-limiting. Lots of people nope out without even really trying. When you push it out to the horizon people miss it, often at their own peril, and at great profit for Salesforce, uh, I mean, for the vendor. The anonymous vendor.
I went the Linux Deploy route and published a couple of container images that Just Work on pretty much any ARM Android device.

Once you shiv systemd, some pretty elaborate scripts can run in an Android chroot just like they would on bare-metal ARM. Just think of your old Android as an off-brand rPi with case, built-in touchscreen LCD, and way, way fewer GPIO pins. No surprise the server will need a new UPS battery.

All in all it was all a very incidental experience. Our CTO came out of the blue showing this thing, he spent an afternoon designing a floor flor the developers that mimics the IRL office.

At the beginning it all felt gimmicky and felt like the novelty factor would wear off quite quickly, but there was this one specific instance that made it "click" in everyone's head, and it happened right at the end of a regular meeting.

We finished the discussion and most attendants quickly dispersed, some people were still at the table trying to fix a bug, and we needed some input from this one specific person to do so. So someone just strolled to where that person was, and asked him to come to the table. It all felt very natural, and the way we were able to quickly get the information we needed without having to awkwardly drag a bunch of people into a Google Meet was just magical.

Today we use it everyday, full time, it all feels very natural and we don't really think about it, because it works so well.

Recently the CTO also opened a "floor" (I.E another Gather instance entirely) for the sales and marketing team (whose headcount in the hundreds) and linked both "floors" using their "portal" feature. Awesome!
are you open to new information?

1. Nigeria has 30 MILLION people that use it. Most of the usage is for cross-border transactions.
2. transaction rate limitations only apply to the settlement layer. retail does not need to use it, only very large transactions that need high settlement guarantees.

Lightning network has essentially unlimited tps, currently has close to 1 million (!!) live nodes, and even sub-penny transactions are perfectly viable because fees are even tinier or can be even nil.

Live LN stats: https://1ml.com/

If you truly do care about lives of 4 billion people on the planet, you should at least internalize these basic facts, as you are simply repeating misinformation: tps are low, no traction. it is simply not true.
We migrated from React to Svelte because of two reasons: (1) speed: Svelte does a lot of work during the compile-time, which led to much faster and more responsive web apps (2) developer learning curve: as we expanded our team, we found that front-end engineers found Svelte much more intuitive and faster to learn

migadu is amazing, however be warned, even if you pay they dont want you using their service for things like automated emails for your SaaS past the bootstrap phase. They are actual people behind the support email, with fantastic response time and very human qualities. it's hard to explain but they want your business and it shows with every tough.

And if you want types then Typescript is a lot nicer than using Python's typing stuff.

I used to love Python's list comprehensions etc, but since JS got .map, .filter, and all the other new things I really don't miss them. My impression of async is that it's much nicer in JS than in Python.

In the new version of my employer's web app we are moving from JS front-end with Python (Flask) backend to using as much Typescript as possible, and only using Python where we need data-sciency / ML libraries. We'll call out to it from our Typecript backend as-needed, but will do as little in Python (and especially in Pandas) as possible.

A state can repeal state laws against it. This is what we refer to as "legalization". Decriminalization refers to reducing the penalties. A state can either legalize or decriminalize. In either case this does nothing to change federal law.
It does, but that's a wholly different dynamic.
We're a civilization that has mastered sea travel. It would take a massive, and likely, impossible, effort to move all our trash into the ocean.

I wonder if some drugs would only work in vapes, rather than inhalers or nebulizers.
Genuinely question, but how much of that is Juul wanting to advertise to kids versus Juul wanting to advertise to an older Gen Z/Millennial crowd (half of Gen Z is over 18)? I think it's really dumb to advertise to Gen Z no matter how old the age range is right now, but I'm not sure if it's malicious or just stupid.
I didn't start using SO till I had already been a professional programmer for 20+ years, so I have no idea how I might have used it had it existed when I was starting out.

Thank you for the explanation. I agree that most fiction is a recasting of older stories, but I think you are putting too much thought into the motivations of this story. I agree that it's playing on the fantasy of rebirthing creation, But I think it only succeeds in doing so because the story in itself is so frivolous and brief. A last moment "plot twist" right as the story ends, making the reader feel there is more to the story than there actually is.

That had to be written by either someone who only saw a single episode—or is performing such an incredible misreading of the show that I’d expect if they read “A Modest Proposal”, they’d wonder what spices Jonathan Swift used on his babies.
Is/will there be a way to combine Goggles? e.g. "No Pinterest" + "Copycats removal" + "1k short"? It would be a union of the discards, and the boosts/downranks either being cumulative, max(boosts/downranks from each Goggle), the current precedence rules[1], or something else.

It's purely political - you can smoke all the pot you want in California, but vaping tobacco is off limits. Sure any regular use of nicotine is not good for you, but it doesn't make you an unsafe driver, impair you to the point of making bad decisions, start fires or affect strangers (provided that there are vape free restaurants, workspaces and so on). Objectively alcohol causes more harm than either tobacco, pot or guns, but no constituency in US is demanding restrictions so here goes. Middle East is a different matter.

In general, I don't want any of these things to be banned, and they have positives as well as negatives. For example, alcohol is a social lubricant that promotes social connection and cooperation that would not have happened before. But especially FDA targeting tobacco users while turning blind eye to a million other unhealthy/socially disruptive things is a clear sign that their decisions are motivated by whoever is in charge of FDA at the moment rather than any imparcial signs. So if anyone is wondering why so many people don't trust what they have to say about masks or vaccines - here you go.
