Sounds like you get eXperience Points for listening to music and that gives you privileges. Interesting, but bound to be dominated by those with serious time on their hands.
Fun fact:

In most people's Haskell code, you can only use actual Booleans when you need true or false. (As you might expect from a well-disciplined, strongly typed language.)

But it's actually really easy to add your own version of eg `if` etc that accept nearly anything, and automatically convert it to True or False. You can do this as a normal library for use in anyone's code.
That's an issue of design. You can't really blame the language for bad programming practices

The US is unusually obese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_obesity#/media...

But US healthcare is also horrifically inefficient largely due to a combination of a private insurance system, poor management, and massive government subsidies. Unfortunately any effort to improve efficiency would lower profits or cost jobs.
The boundaries of time zones are defined with reference to a fixed line - the prime meridian. On the prime meridian, "midnight" is an important concept, marking the change of date.

A second of drift is negligible, but a minute of drift pushes the boundaries of time zones sideways by 6086 feet at the equator.
Re: bouncer discussions

My approach is irssi in tmux on a server. A full real client always running, used via ssh, same experience on a phone or computer. As a bonus I have a lot of power I wouldn't have in a separate phone app. I can search my logs at the source with less, grep, etc. I can copy lines of scrollback with tmux copy mode, I can use all my irssi aliases and scripts to do things like send delayed messages and set reminders or print out what song I'm playing or what the weather is. My email client and torrent client are accessible in the same tmux session. It all just works quite well no matter how I'm connected.

I hear a lot of bad things about configuring bouncers (mostly znc), and have been told before by a friend that he didn't get all the lines I sent while he was asleep because I sent too many or whatever other reason. Bouncers largely seem jank. My irssi + tmux setup makes sense to me and has no nasty surprises.

I get that to the average person this setup probably seems insane, but if you already have a computer locally or remotely that you leave on, I would recommend it. (optionally substitute irssi for weechat and/or tmux for gnu screen, I just use what I like)

Switching gears slightly, I just wanna say that I use IRC, XMPP, and Matrix on a daily basis. IRC continues to be my favorite overall, and has the best clients by far. XMPP and Matrix don't get logging right, don't get chat sorting right, don't get extensibility right, and they just actually crash on me more than most other software I use, oddly. I've heavily used Dino (past), Gajim, and Conversations for XMPP. For Matrix I've tried a lot, but mainly I now use nheko on my PC and element on my phone (I have fluffychat too, but it doesn't seem dramatically better).

This is a weird thing to say. Not only is it functionally false, we have plenty of cases where companies made layoffs due to personal reasons and also where companies are making a profit, but also comes across as condescending.

The line itself is longer, but the idiom in the original uses mutation, which requires reading more adjacent lines to understand and make sure you haven't missed anything.

(In the concrete example, both versions use mutation.)
Or maybe hallucinating additional training data: my impression is that AlphaFold was able to get around a lack of sufficient data by training an initial model and having it make a bunch of predictions, then the high-confidence predictions from that set were used to train the final model.

Given that language models seem to mostly know when they're making correct predictions [1] this method might be useful for stretching the available datasets into something larger without falling into the same pitfalls repeating data would give you. And if you squint it kind of looks like daydreaming? When I'm learning a new skill I often find myself playing back scenes and internally running some simulations of what I would have done differently.

Then how do you explain immigrants who within two generations begin generating wealth? What the economics show is that they come here with nothing. They scrape by, working whatever jobs they can. They make sure their kids do well in school. Their kids go to college and start businesses, become doctors, become lawyers... all in the same system you're claiming is holding people that look just like them down.

Something about the assertions made by CRT must be incorrect given what we see of the facts.
Ah. #linuxwarez on efnet was where I spent my late teens. Anyone know of any log services that’re still running that have archives back that far?
No heuristic is perfect, but it's fairly easy to quantify empirically from activity/records. Developers who are productive (actually write and ship large amounts of quality code) tend to be valuable and those that don't, aren't.

That being said there are some intangibles, like morale etc. It's possible there are people that benefit the team while having low personal productivity.

But anyway, no need to approach in that way. There are probably entire branches of google that could be laid off without any material impact to revenues/profitability, thus all layoffs concentrated in single arm.

Crypto divisions could be cut at many companies without affecting their core businesses. Did Square need to rename itself to Block and add all kinds of crypto functions? How many hundreds of developers are working on that.

I don't think X% headcount cuts horizontally across the org are ever a good idea. Cut non-essential functions. And cut in core branches opportunistically based on low performance.

How do I grant universal consent to be tracked so that I can browse the web in peace? The law failed to consider this and made the browsing experience considerably worse for those of us who couldn't care less about being tracked.

Not to mention teaching users who are not tech-savvy to blindly click "I Accept" and "I Agree" without thinking about it which is an absolute disaster since such users cannot distinguish between a marketing cookie prompt and an OS elevation prompt coming from a piece of malware they just downloaded.
that, and also that this is all incredibly low level stuff. there's not hot swappable modules, but base components. also its very expensive and only makes sense in bulk to get them from China.
Hack's typesystems is similar-ish.

They are both basically what you get when you retrofit something a bit like Haskell's typesystem onto dynamic languages.

> In nearly all DC charge setups the charge voltage (ie. the voltage on the wire you plug into the car) does match the battery voltage.

Except the battery pack on the car is 300V to 400V depending on the model car, but the grid voltage is 120V (mobile charger) to 480V (Supercharger station). Some EVs are 800V even. So tell me again how the input voltage matches the battery voltage? ;)

The reality is that either the charger or maybe the BMS, either inside the car or elsewhere, is not only stepping up or stepping down the voltage to match the battery, but also rectifying the AC grid input into DC for the battery packs.

> In either case, you probably with have ~3% efficiency losses, which effectively increases the total energy bill for the customer over the lifetime for the car by 3%, which might be thousands of dollars.

There is more than 3% efficiency losses usually and some commercial charge providers handle that differently. Most directly expose the overhead by charging for “kwh used” whereas car shows “kwh stored in battery”, but Tesla does (or did until recently) just charge for what was “stored”.
> This isn't a free market by any means, people must pay for gas or immediately go broke.

okay but if oil production is down then at least one of the following must happen:

1. higher prices, which should encourage alternative means of oil production to come online

2. people being priced out of gas and withdrawing their demand

Thinking that everyone can continue to same amount of gas as before is pure fantasy.
So then why do you think you see them?

What's the differences in cost between server with mainly hdd VS ram storage? Ie with vultur, hertzer etc

I though the issue with ram was the much higher costs.

Also, could you put all of postgres dB in ram, like with redis? Thus no need for separate redis server since your entire dB is fast in ram.
question is whether we trust a dogmatic establishment that hates half of the populace, an establishment that will do anything necessary to protect its power and status and to steamroll dissidents...if we do not trust the establishment, then we should not give them the power to do anything about climate change...and climate change has wiped out much of our species before....tens of thousands of years ago...and it may do it again...but do we trust this establishment?
I actually use the ESP32 version of FreeRTOS professionally, and I can't imagine rolling your own scheduler and all the work involved when someone could just use the existing FreeRTOS codebase.
The ESP32 stuff is awesome for my hobby projects, I do see the warts when I use it professionally though, trying to get the system to do more than a couple things at a time is not easy. We've re-written a number of core ESP-IDF packages, or gone through the pain of porting the vanilla FreeRTOS stuff over. We're also using C++, I'm looking forward to Rust.
They almost feel like a passive-aggressive thing at this point. There's no reason a cookie banner needs to be a modal dialog that blacks out the rest of the web page.

Dealership markup is highly variable vs MSRP which is across the board so it matters a lot.

Also Tesla prices are only up 15%. That is inline with inflation. Dealer and scalper markup on game consoles is way beyond that.
For whatever reason I've been thrown into a lot of companies at that exact moment when "hardware is cheap" and "not my problem" approaches couldn't cut it anymore...

So yes, it's super painful, and requires a lot of change in processes, mindsets, and it's hard to get everyone to understand things will get slower from there.

On the other end, micro-services and/or multi-DB is also super hard to get right. One of the surprise I had was all the "cache" that each services started silently adding on their little island when they realized the performance penalty they had from fetching data from half a dozen services on the more complicated operations. Or the same way DB abuse from one group could slow down everyone, and service abuse on the core parts (e.g. the "user" service) would impact most of the other services. More that a step forward, it felt a lot like a step sideways and continuing to do the same stuff, just in a different way.

My take from it was that teams that are good at split architectures are also usually good at monolith, and vice-versa. I feel from the parent who got stuck in the transition.
I am willing to bet they didn't factor in the whole meme stock craze.

Zero of our stimulus went into buying said stocks, however I did make a bucket load from GME and AMC prior. Our stimulus went into further "stimulating" our savings account. The money I spent with Robinhood was entertainment money. It just happened to pay off big.

A more conservative estimate places stimulus "meme stock" trading at less than 0.1% of the stimulus.

I agree this is a nice application for all the ideas brought together.

But I wouldn't mind having something not as fancy for documentary purposes. Though audio recorders are very small now, and though post-processing for sound recognition and speech to text is possible, linear audio recordings of 24 hour days would get annoying eventually. I wouldn't mind having a small device (perhaps disguised as a wearable ring or earring) that just aways listens and transcribes what it hears to text files that auto sync in range of network to cloud or private server, available for viewing and search through secure webpage.

As I understand it, the GDPR did not make web browsing a worse experience. Rather, folks tasked with compliance at a few companies came up with a horrible solution that probably doesn't actually comply, and everyone started copying it. GDPR requires consent; it doesn't require you to come up with the most obnoxious way to obtain it.
I mean, they chose to invest in making this an open source project. And now it's been forked, which requires them to either forego community contribution, or migrate.

Neat, I didn't know about Discord. Whatsapp I thought it was all Erlang, are you sure about Elixir being prevalent there?

I wonder if it's only a few teams handling major events at Discord, or if that's truly their default backend service language all their backend teams uses. If so, maybe I should look at their job listings :p
I'm going to venture a prediction that knowing how computers really work isn't every going to go completely out of style, or even decrease in utility in absolute terms. It's already decreasing in utility in relative terms as more and more useful stuff becomes possible without it, but someone will always write the thing underneath the thing underneath the thing.

The AGI/singularity conversation aside of course, which I am not at all interested in having. ;)

Wow that was pretty mind-blowing.

His Phi operator almost felt like he was doing some sort of "diagonalization" step of continuous derivatives/integrals into discrete differences/sums in the same way you would diagonalize a matrix.

I wonder if there's something there, maybe phi is some sort of analog to eigenvectors of integrals/derivatives.
Disagree. 15+ years ago, people used IRC in real time, to chat and hangout online. Async chat sucks, plus we had forums for that kind of thing.

More recently, I've contributed to a number of open source projects that have live chat meetings on IRC. We kept logs of those meetings, but live chat is totally the point.
I'm not going to claim that IRC's permission model is good (it definitely isn't), but "EVERY chat message" is inaccurate in most deployments: you generally pick the channels you want the bot to be in, and prevent it/others from joining other channels. That's no different in effect from a Slack bot that's receiving webhook events on every channel message and scrubbing through them, which is also a common pattern.

"I have never known that Singapore. My Singapore is pragmatic and sensitive, one of enforced invisibility, reduced risk, minimum noise."

Faith in whatever god or adherence to whatever principle of "harmony" may personally describe an individual's pattern of being, it is the government towards which truly meaningful, actionable intercessions are made. No more noisy Calls To Prayer from these minarets! Instead we will have Calls To Politeness blare from the tallest metaphorical tower. For the successful "multi-"culture, that is god - that is harmony.

Unfortunately, while your zeal is appreciated, "your culture will be erased" is a dangerous, panic-inducing way to say what you mean. To help encourage successful, peaceful discourse and assimilation, let no more of your spittle accidentally hit the floor with this aggressive rhetoric.
well indirectly, since a robust satellite infrastructure allows for daily imagery updates. Governments use this to more easily hold corporations accountable for their environmental day-to-day actions across the earth.

Illegal deforestation? If a fleet of satellites is providing daily updates across the amazon, it is far more easily caught, rather than having it show up 2 weeks later after they have already cut out a chunk and left
This tends to be an unpopular opinion here, but I agree completely. We had almost gotten rid of popups entirely, and now we have something worse, a required annoying banner that often causes the whole window to redraw and move around.

Since untracked ads pay 80-90% less than tracked ones, they are borderline required by every site that requires advertising to survive (most websites).

In a way I'm sure it's added to vendor lock in, any random Google result you click is guaranteed to hit you with the banner, which on mobile is especially annoying when since they're also required to be prominent (ie take up half the screen because everything in that law is incredibly vague).
