Matrix also came out much later. The kids who watched the Matrix when it came out, most of them don't even know what blade runner was because it came out before a lot them were born.

Also matrix doesn't fully hold up with time. It is a bit unintentionally campy. I was captivated by it when it came out, but when you watch it again in modern times or show it to someone who's too young to have been influenced by it, you'll actually kind of notice the campiness. If you don't, the young person will point it out.
I wonder what the display's lifetime is with this kind of usage? I see someone asked in the YT comments but it is unanswered.

I can't find any official data (as usual with eink) but I have heard that an eink pixel's lifetime is around 10 million pixel transitions. Not sure where that number comes from or how accurate it is and how it varies from one display to the next. But if true, you'd get only a couple days with this kind of usage.

Anyone know any more on this?
If you contact support via your Amazon account and explain your error they will often remove some (but usually not all) of the bill.

Sorry that happened, always one of the scarier parts of using AWS. This sounds like an especially tricky one with the standard billing alerts not even catching it.
I guess all fine questions if you apply for unknown startup position. In any serious company, first would give you a big fat warning for ignorance of not preparing for interview at all and checking company. Normally that's 5 mins effort max.

Second would mark you as clueless about whole business segment company operates is, and then why hire clearly inexperienced you, unless asking for intern/junior position.

Third is fine in any environment I guess, but can be weird in say banking.

What happened about asking about team, job, workflow, methodologies and tools, management structure, office structure, WFH and so on?
That's what makes it a wedge issue: there isn't much room for compromise. If one side believes abortion is literally murder, they're not going to say "well, a little bit of murder is OK if we get <foo>".
Agreed. I wish I knew what the solution was. I used to be very anxious about following up on everything. But burn out has made me more resigned to the fact that it’s just impossible
I was under the impression that the Texas-style 10k lawsuit law was mostly meant as a way to circumvent the protections protected by Roe v. Wade, and that Texas might enact something more direct now.
maybe there was more nuance to that statement, but i never bought it at face value, even then.
> Just like you never want to be the smartest person in a room, you never want to be the one pushing a language to its limits.

(Channable co-founder here) If everybody took this view, then a language could never improve. I have actually been very impressed with how far we have been able to take Haskell before having to push its limits. Anecdotally, we previously were using Scala (and Spark) and ran into issues much earlier. In those cases we were pushing the limits of Spark, but underlying those were the limits of the JVM.

> IMHO when you’re providing language patches you probably choose the wrong language.

This is a very myopic view. There is much more to consider when choosing a language (what kind of team do you have, what kind of problems are you working on, maintainability, performance, ecosystem, hiring, etc.).

Some describe the financial aid algorithm as, "Tell us how much money you have. Send it to us." Sure, it can be described as aid. It can also be described as a pricing algorithm designed to squeeze the maximum amount out of the customer.
In hindsight, was that an official Namco/Bally-Midway thing?

Ya know, it was over 40 years ago and I'm going from memory. But now that you question it, and after a bit of reading, it would seem that the patterns just changed (as sibling comment states). All I know is, I showed up for a round of Pac-Man at the local 7-11 in Danville, IN after my part-time high school job, and the patterns didn't work anymore (or quit working after a point a few levels in, don't recall).
I'm not gonna add much, because I think we're on a similar page in terms of RDF-rantyness. I find the entire semantic web/linked data space horribly bloated and overcomplicated.

However! There is something to be said about triples and normalisation. Is the general idea of triples a really good format for databases? Maybe not. Is it a really good format for knowledge representation? Yeah I think so.

Real world knowledge is quite messy and riddled with exceptions. People from cultures without a last name. A stump is still a tree in the right context, even if it doesn't have a crown. A character in D&D might have traits that are completely uncommon for their class. The greek gods for sleep, death or the night sky are both concepts and characters.

You can't model these things with a database, which is primarily tailored towards modelling the "inner world" of a computer.

The semantic web is still frustratingly bad at these things, because of description logics, OWL and their mind-share that _everything must be class based_
and enforced/checked at creation/load time.

In reality it's much better to throw all of that away, and just do duck typing at query time, by letting the consumer decide which entities they want to process. Sure some entities might not get processed, because they don't conform to the shape that the consumer expects, but that's a strength. A different system might consume them, they might be ignored indefinitely, or they are handled at a later time.

The directedness of individual facts also allows you to implicitly encode "who makes this assertion", providing a mechanism to make distributed consistency much easier.

Limiting the number of columns (to 3) also allows you to materialise all possible indices (for each ordering), which is really interesting in combination with worst case optimal join algorithms.

However nothing in the RDF ecosystem makes use of these strengths. It's all rigid, classy, complex, slow and buggy, but I don't think that a heavily normalised knowledge base build on triples has to be that way.
I'm not sure this follows. I have easily millions of emails per year controlled with excessive filtering to get through my day in a very organized way, and I still end up with messages that I just skip over if the apparent need/involvement from me isn't clear quickly.

Time is very precious and especially in situations where someone wants something from you without any specific requirement for you to act, it's just common sense that these get deprioritized or ignored.

> In fact if one cares about the said mailbox, there would never be any significant number of unread emails in the mailbox.

I looked away from my laptop for about 15 minutes just a bit ago to take a fresh air break and came back with 80 emails that evaded filters ;) I'm not complaining "oh woe is me I am to be pitied", I'm just saying that not all inboxes and positions have the same email habits and patterns for filtering. Some critical things did sneak by because the senders have a different communication style than I planned for and the usual triggers I rely on failed. We're from different teams so none of us are responsible towards the other in any fashion, but there were critical issues to be addressed.

People are very creatively complex, and when you hit a high mail volume, there just isn't enough waking time in the day to get every single item. Despite mailing lists/distribution lists, far far too many people are shy to write these for fear of looking stupid and prefer the "human" approach of 1 on 1 conversations. I don't blame such persons, and at the same time I don't feel bad that I'll absolutely deprioritize a 1 on 1 that could easily be delegated to my team, but the sender decided not to use the distribution list as we require.

Absolutely I'm selfishly protecting my time; I'll gladly help people, but if it's not my specific job requirement or obligation to do so, then my help comes on my terms. Any other way and I'll likely be drinking to an early grave ;)
Asking to see the pager log can be quite revealing as well. I worked at an MSP where you could expect 1-5 pages per night while on-call. It was definitely hidden during the interview process and I bet they never would have been able to hire anyone if that information was revealed.
Node/JS solutions typically don't come "batteries included." "Fullstack" means different things depending on the ecosystem and for Node devs it means "hey there's a solution for the front-end and back-end."

Totally understand about Django, Laravel etc. but typically if I'm building in Node/JS I'm pulling all of that extra stuff in from npm piecing it together myself.
I've extended WiFi with a power line adapter. It works but I had to try a few plug combinations for it to work. I know with X10 (yes, long time ago), you could have issues spanning your electrical box from (maybe?) one side to the other.
Slavery, cheap labour is a poison for inventiveness.
Why build alexa, if you can buy a alexa. Why build with concrete 3d printers, if slave-labour is plenty.

One of the reasons of pushing UBI is, that without it, complex artifacts (lawn cutting robots) are slowly replaced by their wage-slavery equivalent and innovation becomes nothing but a curiosity to be displayed on some southern domus terrace during a orgy.
We have 6 fertilised eggs somewhere in a freezer (IVF), if we throw them in the garbage bin, is that murder/abortion?

I believe that if a woman wants to have children, then as a preparation, she needs to pay attention to her body and health and solve all the problems that bother her. I think it is ok to take cbd capsules https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/full-spectrum-cbd-cap... . They are safe and natural so no harm to health.
Rust does not guarantee TCO, just to be clear.
I agree. I see technologies like Next, Remix, etc claiming to be full stack, but it doesn't "feel" full stack to me. They have offerings like backend functions, which is really just an HTTP response.

But, when I think of a "all in one" / "full stack" langauge, there needs to be an existing ORM inside the framework. That works across the View/Communication/Model.

These frameworks have you needing other tools to do this.
Perhaps we need a few gene edits to improve human cognition, maybe ML could help identify those.
Ah thanks for the tip, I didn’t know that.
In the case of laravel, I think that having by default a pretty awesome templating system (which even allows for components), a webpack based build system for frontend assets, easy way to serve, cache and bust assets, and a trivially easy way to submit forms and validate user input makes it pretty full stack. Same for Rails, and not event talking about HotWire/LiveWire with might not be considered parts of the framework per se.

To me Laravels is pretty more close to a "full stack" framework than Fresh to be honest.
Awesome, I will give this a spin soon =)
Patreon is for-profit as far as I can tell, givesendgo.com is a nonprofit though
It happens in the US too. As far as I'm aware, the only difference is that we get a huge bill at the end.

But what "inadequate care" are you talking about?
Is it because of which premise that is the cause for falling subscription with Netflix:

- People learning to share up to six accounts

or

- Netflix disabling sharing based on wider GeoIP locale?
As animals aren't full persons?

I mean, i do know a odd full-vegan (no harm to even insects, whereas most vegan i know draw the line to living being with fully formed nociceptors) pro-life, and i respect it, at least he isn't hypocritical. He is also very religious, ardently non-violent, and his life choice are based on his faith (that i won't name here).

Mammals are more conscious of themselves than embryos, are aware of and can recognize themselve in a mirror (baby do not recognize themselves until 14 to 24 months btw). They do have fully formed nociceptors, and even when those aren't triggered, are aware of being mutilated, of their brethren being mutilated or killed.

I cannot take seriously a "pro-life" who eat mammal meat. I don't really care what you eat, but at least your diet should follow your "convictions".

> That’s definitely not what happens. Highest tier is saturated, developers say that “the market only wants highest tier housing”, and so more of the same gets built.

If it's actually saturated, them prices will begin to drop.

> The opposite is what’s happening - the highest tier gets more and more expensive, and the lowest tier goes up too.

Because it's not actually overbuilt - they're still just trying to catch up. Most metro areas are still in a state of housing shortage.
You mean half a dozen add-ons are available
Agreed. But also no denying the fact Blade Runner had horrible pacing.

Pacing is hard to get right in a movie. It is a separate pillar of measurement for a movie. A movie can rate 10 out of 10 for setting and character development and 3 for pacing. Blade runner is such a movie.

In general Ridley Scott isn't very good at making well paced movies. Pacing for him comes as a bit of a lucky draw. Gladiator is one of his movies that had incredible pacing, but in my opinion that was mostly luck as most of his movies don't have good pacing.
I used to work for Firebase, this is a common problem. For my own developer focussed startup I have prevented functions from calling each other to an unbounded depth, exactly so this footgun is removed.

The technical details is outbound requests is given a role encoded in the user-agent, and then I can easily filter out incoming requests by user-agents [1].

Especially since everyone else had solved it since before PHP even existed. This problem was invented by PHP.
People deliberately run people over with cars all the time. It is in my best interest to have a list of every car owned by my neighbor along with his DOB, how many times he failed the driving test, when he got his license and whatever other information related to vehicles and licences.

People engage and escalate disputes all the time, believing that the other party is unwilling or at least incapable of conveniently murdering them. Cars change that calculus; it's in my best interest as a member of the public to know whether my neighbor might murder me rather than merely being angry at a dispute.
Not legitimate? It was seen as blocking some of the most progressive policies helping the desperately poor during the Great Depression.

If it was legitimate why would you need to stack the court. A legitimate court’s decisions would be accepted, not changed by adding judges.

And the reason why the idea to stack was defeated was because it was viewed as a run around judicial independence (e.g. making it less legitimate).
Because nobody else would ever object to being recorded without consent?
I disagree. On contrary, if you do follow-ups, the recipient may think you're too pushy and entitled. I'd never dare send follow-up in my university.
Yeah, I do the same. Most of what I do is Next.js + a good bunch of npm packages to get the "full stack". But I wouldn't call Next.js full stack because it can do SSR, or even API routes. But again, that's just me confused about what is "full stack".
> Honestly, companies just need to be comfortable with hiring someone with a credible degree and taking a chance on them.

I'd be all for it and I have seen some international non-profits hiring like that for junior roles.

But its a hard sell for googol and the likes who 1) have excess supply of qualified candidates 2) are so used to perpetuating the narrative of absolute exclusivity among their staff.
If you respond only to people who follow up, you're filtering for more dedicated senders. On the other hand, even if you're a very busy person who gets a ton of email, dedication is a very rough proxy for importance.
I'm only using AWS for my domain (too lazy to move) and even then I use an external dns manager because aws charges something like 50 cents per a dns record per month.

Everything on aws is a clusterfuck designed to suck money out of enterprise businesses

> makes it quite fair to imply it is the Republicans that represent less than a plurality of voters.

Clearly that's not true, since Republicans are currently two points ahead of Democrats on the generic Congressional ballot: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/

The House popular vote more accurately reflects nationwide sentiment because both parties have an incentive to campaign in every state. Indeed, the leaders of both parties in the House are from California.

But both parties lack an incentive to try and win statewide "winner take all" contests in opposite-color states. Cross-referencing those results against polling suggests that this effect hurts the GOP, with their geographically more spread out base, slightly more than it hurts Democrats.
I mean, for all we know it could have been him mining the bitcoins, with committing the private key by accident being the cover up story.
I dunno. I have learned that I truly have no sense for the amount of e-mail some people get.

When I started working at a big company, I felt like a big kid because I was getting 20ish emails a day, many of them automated.

Then I learned that my relative who runs a non-profit can get 1,000 emails from actual human beings in a single day. Her normal day is composing at least 250 individual, non-templates responses.

And now scale that up to one of the biggest/hottest startups in the country at the time.

I’m gonna say that’s kind of an excuse.
> Any laws relating to alcohol sales is probably reflective of local religiosity, as is the state philosophy on criminal justice.

My guess is these don't inconvenience people enough to make it to the Supreme Court. And there's also the fig leaf of "crime reduction".

> as is the state philosophy on criminal justice

Can you give some examples? I'm not familiar with this.

> religion created a culture which we have inherited

Which of these restrict individual freedoms by law?

> even the official work week being seven days long.

You'll be surprised to learn that pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures have also had 7-day weeks, likely because they divide a lunar month so well.[1]

That was also the first thing on my mind. And I almost lost respect
for Sir Tim for giving tacit assent.

I would like to hear more from people connected with W3C over the
years as to why it ran into the long grass. Some commentators have
even described it as "irrelevant today". I'd like to think
that's wrong and W3C has an important future keeping a public
and accessible World Wide Web alive.

Among the many questions in my head:

What is the "Web" today, 30 years on?

What can the W3C realistically do to steward it?

Have principles of universality and accessibility been abandoned?

Can there be a WORLD WIDE Web in the age of state firewalls and the
"splinternet"?

Does the W3C have overlays and censorship resistance on its roadmap?

Does the W3C recognise the need for Small Internet technologies,
Gemini and suchlike as a reliable, accessible and simple information
delivery network?
100k unread mails, of which 75k are "hey have you got my previous emails" ?

If someone doesnt answer me after the first email, too bad for him - i will go somewhere else.
Not sure. It isn't great to do this regardless. Some people are hiding from abusive people for example.
I wonder how pandoc[1] does this. You can convert Markdown to PDF (`pandoc test.md -o test.pdf`), it uses the same syntax as GitHub ($ signs only, no backticks) and it fares a lot better than GitHub in a few of the tests outlined in the article[2]. It's not perfect but clearly something better can be done.

If people valued that care-free lifestyle so much, they'd adopt it. It's possible to get by in Western society doing virtually nothing, if you're willing to sacrifice some comforts. People largely don't care to. More to the point, no one likes feeling stagnant, lost, completely unproductive. There are endless anecdotes to this point among those who've taken the FIRE approach. One guy's partner left him saying she felt "left behind" in their early retirement, despite ostensibly not caring about niceties like a house. They could be as "creative" as they want all day, but that wasn't what was lacking.

It's not really about the "stuff" accumulated, it's the reward of work itself. Mainly, a sense of meaning and social validation. You can quibble over the possibility of being "productive" without a job, but most people don't want to be fucking artisans - they want to get things done and feel useful. We're not all wired to be painters, make pointless software or boutique furniture out of our own volition. If you tell us someone needs to cut these pieces of wood and nail them, someone needs to teach, someone needs to clean, someone needs to fix this bug and ship this software, and banter all the while, and you get paid for the privilege, that's easily more motivating for most people.
If they're going to claim causality for vaccines->less Alzheimers then yes, they need pretty close to 100% confidence for that because this is the sort of thing that gets translated into mandatory government policies. What they have here is literally nothing, it's just a correlation. They don't have any evidence of a causal relation, and they don't have any suggested biological pathway either. It's malpractice to assert causality given such a total absence of evidence.

Moreover, as a killed comment elsewhere in this thread points out, it's very likely that they made a mistake somewhere. This claim is absurd on its face. A 40% effect size is enormous. Alzheimer's is tracked very closely and there has been no change in incidence over time:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/prevalence-of-dementias

Flu vaccines on the other hand have become far more prevalent over the last 20 years especially amongst the age groups most at risk for Alzheimers. So, where's the impact? There isn't any. If flu vaccines really reduced the risk that much then we'd see it in the actual numbers, as a 40% reduction is hard to hide.
I would, too, but they don’t.
There are plenty of birthed people that are in that state. Mostly infants, but many with developmental disabilities or other conditions. Eugenics had the same idea. Do you want To be the arbiter of the minimal set of bodily functions required to be human? What if you end up in a state with one less than the value chosen, should someone else be able to decide whether you live or die?

Yeah I think the main thing for a website to hold on to users it should at least be interactive and responsive quickly (with clear loading indicators) even if it is taking a while to load everything on the page. If a page looks like it is stuck or feels like it is stuck then I am likely to abandon it. But if it has clear indicators and animations to indicate something is happening, I will be more patient with it.
