At this point I'd recommend Brave Search for all things, including timer!

https://search.brave.com/search?q=timer+for+30+seconds&sourc...

The search is distinct as opposed to largely relying on Bing, and I find the fact that DDG decided to start 'down-ranking Russian disinformation' troubling. If Iraq had had a comparable Western facing media machine as Russia, their claims, that they had no WMD and the war was being waged on false premises, would have undoubtedly also been labeled as disinformation and ultimately widely censored as well. It's quite dystopic.

It's not just a matter of salaries and funding, the economic environment has changed a lot in the few decades. Individual incomes don't go as far as they used to, inflation is through the roof. Even the high paying jobs are suffering, they just have further to fall. The jobs that were on the margin (like Botany probably) have been pushed over the economic cliff and are no longer viable given the cost of entry.

We need a fundamental reassessment of science funding and our economic priorities, sadly I imagine things will have to get a lot worse before that conversation happens, and frankly the people who got us into this mess have to leave office/die off, as a class they've proven unwilling/unable to adapt to uncomfortable realities.

This article really sums up the solution - consume less than you generate - get your 100k car, and spend an extra 10k on a roof of solar panels and then you are really doing your bit for the planet.
Ya know all those videos from big gamers like asmongold or whoever the F people watch (I don't)? They spend money on this stuff to make content just to rip on it to make more content about it and then to do a video saying they are done with it... Just to probably play it more and spend more without talking about it anymore in public.

While they think they are doing a service or maybe aren't spending "their" money on it or some "big brain" BS... They are feeding the machine. People will play the game and spend money for whatever reason.

I played the game for, I dunno, 3 weeks? Didn't spend a dime because I don't have a dime to spend and even if I did have dimes to spend I still wouldn't because I enjoyed what I played for free and there wasn't any aspect of the game that even remotely made me feel compelled to spend money on it. I'm not even some dopamine fasting really strict person. I'm high risk for this kind of stuff, well, I should be. How in the world they can't get someone with ADHD and impulse issues to not spend money is beyond me but I guess their psychological profiling works best on the bell curve and not the edges.

It's not even a bad game if you've played mobile action combat games before. It's literally like other ones except it has diablo lore and skins on it. It's a streamlined for a phone and modern times game and I'm not even talking about how they made money as streamlined, I'm talking about auto walking and other time savers that are just in the game for free. Normal mobile modern niceties. It's a game, it exists, it's not bad nor is it good, especially next to other mobile games it is maybe like I dunno a 75% in that aspect. The only reason it gets shit on is because people get all bent outta shape about their favorite BRAND getting damaged in some way maybe which is silly. You don't own the brand, the old games still exist, play those it's fine.

Does anyone even remember "Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire"? I'm sure that made money too.
On the other hand, cyclists in the Netherlands are totally disrespectful of pedestrians, making it almost less walkable than New York City, where for the most part you don't have to worry about getting hit by a bike at every corner.
> Your (non-)argument that american lifestyle being car-centric is a "good thing"

It's a good thing because it allows (or, rather, allowed) the supermajority of people to have the "countryside-style" living (while being able to work) that was available only to the wealthy a century ago. At the time suburbia was "invented", people moved out of the crowded cities to these new subdivisions in masses.

> is VERY different to "I enjoy suburbia and I'd like it not to be destroyed".
> The majority of walkability advocates argue for the following:

In a vacuum I would agree with you wholeheartedly. However, in practice, urbanists and walkability advocates almost always push increased density on neighborhoods whose residents don't want those changes. I very rarely see advocacy for building new walkable subdivisions, the only advocacy group that's even remotely close to this that I could think of is Strong Towns.
> that I cannot differentiate

I suggest that you aim for the day in which critics «cannot differentiate it from a human art piece».

(We already have plenty of contexts in which the layman can be fooled. Think e.g. of "populism" in political discourse.)
You'd be interested in Grammar-Guided Genetic Programming.

It's tangential, but along similar lines. You generate a grammar of what a successful program looks like, and then that grammar can spit out programs of that "shape" ad infinitum.

The main difference is that you don't have the same verifiable guarantees as logic-al solutions because the grammar is generated and evolved over time instead of induced from a ruleset.

I did something like this about 15 years ago here: https://github.com/ThomasHabets/dejitun

It only does fixed end-to-end latency, because what I wanted to do was just remove jitter (hence "de-jitter-tunnel"), at the cost of some latency.

I think I find it more useful than what the author has done here, because I did it using tunnel interfaces, so it's not just limited to TCP sessions, where the kernel would fix the order anyway.

But maybe the author here is trying to do something I don't immediately see. When latency and jitter really matters, isn't it packet based that matters (hence build a TAP or TUN), not TCP proxy?

My solution too can't be replaced with tc, because to remove jitter I need to mark every single packet with a timestamp, and have the receiving end sequence it correctly.
Taking public transit/CTA in chicago has become unbearable.

Trains don't follow any schedules, they keep announcing on overhead speakers that next train is not coming because of covid related labor shortages.

My 15 min train ride has taken me anywhere between 15mins - 2 hrs in past 2 months. So i have to plan to be somewhere 1 hr in advance of my appointment so i don't miss it due to 'covid related labor shortages'.

I suspect most of the commenters here that come out in support of public transit everytime don't actually use public transit. They are wfhers in suburbs who like the idea of compact cities packed to the brim, where cars are banned, take public tansit or better yet bike through blistering cold with kids in tow.
This has been true for me wherever I've lived. If you just happen to live near a major bus line or subway station, and just happen to go somewhere where a transfer is not needed, then maybe public transit is faster. Otherwise, not a chance.

From my previous apartment it would take about 2 hours to get to the airport using public transit, because I had to transfer twice - that's waiting three times. By car it would take 30 minutes without traffic, and the worst time with a car would be just under 2 hours.

From my current residence it takes about 8 minutes just to walk to the bus stop.

It takes 10 minutes to drive to work (fairly close). It takes 30 minutes by public transit (walk to stop, transfer somewhere).

Whenever I talk to someone who doesn't own a car and really touts public transit, and I dig into the details, I always find that this person has a limited number of places he goes, with the rest being inconvenient to get to.

The only real benefit of public transit is you can read during the commute.

What's wrong with how we train, hire, and motivate programmers [video]
As someone who is a passion-related IT person, I often meet a lot of IT people who surprise me with their fixation on making money. Generally it is a hard time to be young anywhere in the world with unemployment and underemployment rates being high among young people from the US to China.

In this situation the problem is more likely to be over specialization. If botany is a topic that you could somehow pick-up after university with little ease then it would be something more people would do. If there is a programming language that has too few people who know it, why not replace it with a code more easy to pick up by other programmers?
I'm less interested in what a feature is, and more curious if there's some exhaustive list internally - or if there's even awareness of all of them spread throughout the corporation.

That is, in a large org like google (or msft, or...), how much stuff is there that no current employees are aware of?

I work at a relatively small company for a number of years, and it's definitely been a challenge to maintain knowledge of feature creep that has occurred, let alone anything more in depth like what the features were _supposed_ to do.

But "C++ on Linux" isn't "C++". It's a subset of C++ usage. The lack of competing compilers on some OS might be a feature of those OS, or in the eyes of some mabye even a failure of those OS, but it's certainly no feature of the language. ABI compatibility isn't about using the same binary on different OS, it's about running binaries from different compilers/compiler versions/compiler configurations in the same process.

For other cases, if you choose to from a service you are subscribing to, you make end up violating terms of service, and at the very least give the company the right to stop continuing to providing the service (kindle or netflix), etc. to you. Not sure what else they could do in addition to that.

This doesn’t comport with my experience on the UWS: the subway was almost always faster for me, rush or not. The only exceptions were cross-town and way out on the 7, e.g. Flushing. My commute from Harlem (when I lived there) to the financial district was 25 minutes by train; a similar car commute would have been around 40 (and I would have needed to find parking).

People take ride shares and taxis because of separate pressures, including very reasonable ones like needing to haul something bulky to a specific address or trying to get to their airport (I will freely acknowledge that the subway connections to LGA and JFK are pitiful).
Can you explain how a timer could be complex, apart from impressively bad engineering?
I live in an exurb in the US. Transit tries to serve a lot of single family homes. That said, I've got two bus routes nearby which connect to the light rail to go deeper into the metro area and out to the airport. Despite there being a bus stop close to my door I still take my car most of the time.

I could get by with living an only public transit lifestyle, and that's a part of why I chose to live here as opposed to elsewhere. But in the end this really limits my choices. Yeah, there is a daycare a few stops away, but that wasn't the one we wanted to send our child to. There is a grocery store, but it's not the ones we like to shop at. There are places I could work, but the place I want to work is a less than 10 minute drive but a 45 minute bus ride. To get to the places we do want to go, it's easily 2-5x as long of a travel.

Just the other day a friend invited me to dinner. The restaurant was on the same bus line as one of the lines just outside my house. A great chance for transit, I wouldn't even have to change busses. It was a less than 20 minute car ride and a few dollars of tolls each way. Or a little over an hour on the bus each way. Sure, riding the bus would have been cheaper than the cost of my car, assuming my time is valued at $0 and everything is devoid of scheduling conflicts. But I value my time quite highly, and I often have pretty tight schedules.
Congratulations to Scott Aaronson for the must lucide explanation of Shor's algorithm for the merely mathematically literate, ever!
Time alone isn't a good measure. Minute-dollars is probably a better one. But value of time or money doesn't add linearly in people's minds, so even this could be improved.

When I lived in the Bay area, rough numbers:

Job 1, car: 3600 minute-dollars per day.

Job 1, public transit: 800 minute-dollars

Job 2, car: 2700 minute-dollars

Job 2, public transit: 6000 minute-dollars
But of course - NATO has provoked Russia by allowing it to invade Crimea unpunished. If those HIMARS launchers got to Ukraine in 2014, we wouldn’t have the current war, and also probably wouldn’t have problems with gas supply, because Russia would already be pacified.

Still, this isn’t a good moment to focus on criticizing NATO where there’s a vastly greater evil to defend against.

And I definitely can compare this to Europe in 1943 - it’s the same ideology, forcing people to do the same kind of genocide, for the same reasons. Sure, Russians nazis only killed few dozen thousand people so far, but we know well what they intend to do - they are openly saying the purpose of the invasion is to destroy the Ukrainian nation. (Also note how ironic it is - Russia, which is neither a real nation not a proper state, is trying to destroy a vastly superior Ukraine.)
It is funny how it is the "conservative" supposedly "old ways are the best ways" people who would absolutely riot if you restored the order that we had before 1920 with pedestrians taking precedence over cars.

the American Los Angeles scene shown in that movie was for the purpose of getting money from public audiences; the dancers are an act, like a circus. In contrast, the dance marathon events that are popular today, are a source of energy and inspiration for the dancers, who pay money to be part of it.

Somehow I am reminded of current media options in America by the former.. featuring shock and awe, like a drug for the viewer, while the people making the content are disposable.
There is no shortage of botanists, they just have biology or other degrees.

I know perhaps a dozen people who can walk into an environment and name all the plants, their origins, and growth behavior.

I know companies that employ dozens and dozens of them. They just don't have botany degrees.

The way academia and the job market is set up, it simply doesn't make sense to get a highly specialized degree when most of the botanical knowledge can be picked up on the job and further enhanced once you settle into that career.
In grad school I had to do a term paper; my three partners were Chinese. Two of them approached me and asked what we were going to do when the third one cheated/plagiarized his part of the paper. Apparently, cheating is a phenomenon specific to subcultures in China — and this one student belonged to that culture.

When we got his part of the paper it had just been copied wholesale from academic sources; the professor had already been prewarned. We all got an "F", and the one student was put on probation, and lost his funding. It really sucked. The rest of us were given a chance to rewrite the term paper.
And if you read the two comments in question?
There is. You have to get to and from the station / stop twice every trip. This makes it slower unless you are in an area where the density is so high that the space constraints make cars prohibitive.
Modern war requires even more effort. Hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians are consuming much more than a Roman legion or a Spanish army in the Netherlands. They need a constant stream of fuel and bullets and shells and more food than just bread. It's just that trucks and trains and oceangoing ships make logistics possible at this scale.
Agreed, but again, the author isn't actually talking about frameworks except at the very end. Most of the article is about API wrappers like Stripe:

> My theory is, this causes a lack of effort expended on mundane libraries. It's not the most fun thing to build. I get it. Really, I do, but lack of these API-wrapping and protocol-handling libraries put Clojure at a significant disadvantage in the business of software.

The kinds of libraries the author misses in Clojure exist in abundance in Java, and the most likely explanation for their absence in Clojure is that most Clojure developers don't avoid interop as much as the author thinks they do.

I check Google maps for any journey where I have a choice of driving or riding in London. The variability is pretty wide. But agree with your point about suburb to suburb: in a choice of car vs bus (because there's no rail option for the journey) the car inevitably wins.
> Google users and Google customers are two different entities.

Google hardly cares about their customers as well, unless you are big enough to make a dent in their income, which you are not. The number of people paying for gsuite who never managed to get a hold of an actual human after a brutal and unwarranted termination of their online life is quite big, if you expect them to care about their customers.
I’ve never used Jaspersoft, only seen the marketing pages of recent years on Tibco’s site. But much of that developer experience sounds like my 4-ish years with BIRT: differing versions of the designer GUI in Eclipse breaking things; debugging a report required starting up our entire monolith app.

How much better is SSRS in these aspects than the aforementioned Java-based solutions? Or I guess “paginated reports” in Power BI nowadays.

(Programmers) Thoughts on getting more and more responsibility but no extra pay?
I'm a mid-level software engineer, with both junior and senior developers in the team.

Our new manager is super keen on delegating work to the rest of the team. I keep finding myself being dragged into a random meetings that I have no idea about, where I'm expected to wing it, all because she invited me along without me knowing.

She's decided to make the developers run stand up each morning, along with other regular meetings, to free up her time, as if it wasn't degrading enough for us.

I've also been dragged into teaching other teams how to code, along with other "confidence gaining" objectives, all whilst still doing my actual work.

This is all being disguised as "personal development", that will help us "gain confidence" but we're really just being taken advantage of.

I can see this quickly becoming an issue. I know it's not a good mindset to have but I should just be nailing tickets and writing code, yet I'm slowly but surely taking on the load of a senior / management position. How tf do you handle this?

I think it’s the other way around. Ever since the late 1990’s IT boom, a lot of money-hungry people have flocked to IT.
Because if you spend more than 5 minutes with it you can determine numerous things about the "astonishing" images you have seen

1) the amount of human curation is huge. For every 1 good image shared there are dozen of utter crap not shared

2) Dalle fails in some very systemic ways that make it completely unsuitable for vast swathes of image generation
(for instance the "N kittens problem" . Dalle is amazing at generating a picture of 1 kitten. Dalle is dreadful a generating a picture of 8 kittens and that is totally fundamental to how it works, not a bug that can be worked out with time.)
Also basically anything that requires recognisable detail in the background, Dalle falls flat.

3) prompt parsing is simultaneously hit and miss as well as laughably primitive. This is the "without" problem. Ask for a picture without some feature and there is a good chance you will get that thing in the picture.

> We absolutely should invest to make public transport faster, and thereby attract more riders.

People don't use public transport because it is faster, but because it is consistent, it is cheaper than many other options and it reduces the stress of commuting. Being a passenger is much more relaxing than being the driver. Not having to find a parking spot is liberating for your mind. Not getting fines is good for your finances.

Public transport doesn't attract more people because almost everywhere is at peak.

NY subway, for example, moves 5.5 million people a day (the peak capacity is slightly above 6) but it is harder to make new lines or increase the number of rides, while with cars you just ride yours to the highway and stay stuck there in traffic for as long as needed. You can't stack trains like that or the delay of a single ride will cascade to the entire rail line possibly for many hours.

People who prefer cars IMO are either outside of the public transport coverage, bad at planning or anxious.
