TL;dr With gratitude and the feeling that this is probably as good as it gets?

Slightly longer version. I grew up thinking I was hot s#1t. You know smart, hard working, loving family (with its own annoying hateable quirks), destined to do great things, Yada Yada yada. You can see where this is going.

Many things didn't pan out and some things lucked out. Sadly my speciality had nothing to do with it. Heck with a lot of help and support and mentoring etc I was guided to see that the luckiest of luckiest rarely deserve their good fortune any more than the most downtrodden of the downtrodden deserved their misfortune. So much so often comes down to environment and luck.

While we are here might as well enjoy the ride, work on things you are passionate about, cherish loved ones and don't harm others (atleast transitively by X degrees).
Yep, there's a great book "poorly made in china" [0], where they describe the immaculate production facilities, hygene standards, etc... and after a short time, stuff like this:

> Bernie was disturbed by the finger-in-bottle exchange, when I told him about it. “I hope they are washing their hands, at least,” he said. Since the bathrooms had no soap, I told him that it was not likely.

> I explained to Sister how this could be a problem. She told me that she understood and would address the situation.

> “I will tell the workers not to put their fingers in the bottles when you are at the factory,” she said.

....

> The hair gel that we produced at the factory was green. One day, I noticed that the worker who filled the gel bottles had a skin condition. His hands were covered with the slick formula, and beneath the green, shimmery layer, I could see that the skin on his hands was peeling. Small, raw patches of flesh were exposed, and you didn’t have to be a dermatologist to see that his skin was infected.

> “We should probably do something about this one,” I said to Sister, trying to sound calm, while in my head alarm bells were ringing.

> Sister did not see the point. “Why?” she asked.

> “It might be a health issue?”

> “But the worker has done nothing wrong. It’s just an allergic reaction.”

> Trying to press the matter, I suggested that the worker might contaminate the product.

> Sister twisted around the argument. “How can he harm the product when it was the product that caused him the harm?”

etc.

People don't know the demographic that consumes those apps in Mexico.

It's true, people who go for these apps earn at most 300 usd per month an some of them with family.
Given how quickly AI image generation, and creativity generally, has progressed, I think it's perfectly plausible that within ten years we will be able to tell an AI "create a work of art that is unique, highly meaningful and that would be very difficult or impossible for most humans to create with their hands," and will get a work of art that is, in blinded assessments, competitive with the work of any master.

If that happens, I agree that the top 100 human artists in the world will likely have jobs, but they won't be successful in the sense that their work is uniquely valued by society. We pay to see the very most talented humans perform tasks that have been successfully automated, such as chess and lifting heavy objects, not because we need the service they provide but because we get an emotional kick out of seeing other humans perform way outside the normal range of human abilities.
Most garage door openers too.

Unfortunately, it's an open system, so the grease usually dries out after 5-10 years. Undo the 6 screws and put some marine grease on them every couple years everybody.
The use cases is 'proving' that the picture provided by anyone with the private key is real.
There were teenage lieutenants and commanders (of ships) in their 20’s in the Royal Navy in the 18th and 19th centuries. Even a sixth rate ship had well over 100 men on board and smaller, unrated ships could have a complement of about 100.

I do think there are lots of advantages from experience, both on the technical side and with organising teams but I don’t think it’s totally crazy for young people to sometimes be very useful and productive. Plenty of the companies YC funds are founded/run by people in their (often early) 20’s and some end up being managed well and others poorly. If it were the case that young people so obviously weren’t able to do it, I would expect YC would have changed their behaviour by now.
> Some countries declare steel to have certain properties and they do not have those properties. This is a certifiable fact.

In general I'd say that some companies do this.

I did a quick search and found a few well-published incidents:

Kobe Steel (Japan)[1]

Japan Steel Works (Japan) - although this was faked inspection on manufactured components not raw steel[2]

Ossen Innovation Materials (China)[3]

Unsubstantiated reports of issues with companies from China, Germany, Italy and the US[4]

Le Creusot (France). Fake materials used in nuclear reactors[5]

You're right, AI generated pictures should not be copyrighted, as is the case today. People should be free to mix and remix pictures via AI as much as they desire.
If unfinished stories just roll over in to the next sprint, is there any point to the sprint?
Oddly enough, I was staying in NYC in a friend's place near Gracie Mansion, and La Guardia was amazingly convenient.

It has kinda that Mad Men vibe, too.
Your parent said "leadership experience," and you responded with "leadership skill." I won't take sides, but I see people talking past each other.
Not sure I follow your point. NYC is not affordable. Are you implying the New York real estate market is in a desirable state because people still want to live there despite exorbitant rents and never being able to buy a home?
Come on, we teach it in cub scouts.
Lots to read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy such as:

Until the middle of the 20th century, infant mortality was approximately 40–60% of the total mortality. Excluding child mortality, the average life expectancy during the 12th–19th centuries was approximately 55 years. If a medieval person survived childhood, they had about a 50% chance of living 50–55 years, instead of only 25–40 years.
It is like chess and go, computers can beat even the best human player today, but people didn't stop playing these games for enjoyment.
>Why do non-Western elites send their kids to Western countries for university educations?

Elites. We have the best education for elites. Not for everyone, which is a large part of the problem.
I guess going forward all of that super annoying Buzzfeed-speak is now going to be associated with "millennial." Well, whatever.
FWIW I read it as the opposite. I think most of the stuff he benched was explicitly not benching V8 against JSC. This is all me reading between the lines .. maybe you know more about JS runtimes than I do and can confirm/deny my theories?

Package manager perf: Bun (presumably) wrote a C++ or zig package manager that's integrated, and speaks NPM. I guess you could aruge that this benches their fast one against the npms V8 runtime, but.. that's a bit of a stretch for me.

Copying large files: I'd be surprised if any of the benched distributions rely on the javascript runtimes to copy files on disk.

HTTP Requests: Maybe distributions actually call into JSC/V8 for these .. I have no idea. I'd guess not, but this one sounds the most plausible case for "benching V8 against JSC".

For example, in the most populous US state, California, there's a CSU within commuting distance of probably 95% of the population, had for $6k/year, such that student loans at 4% mean a cost of $960/year interest. If you were truly financially savvy (and not having the rest of your countrymen paying for your dorm fraternity experience), the first two years would be community college, at a cost of $2k/year and an interest cost of $640/year.

But maybe I'm biased since I paid for my 3 years community college and 2 years of UC by choosing Computer Science and paying for the $30k with my first year's salary. All of my peers had that option.
Music equipment is among the most sentimental of all human possessions. In fact virtually all the musicians I’ve ever met believe in “MOJO”.
People who need to DIY something but might only need to use the tool a few times. Or people who bought decent brand for key tools and then went budget to add a couple of extra pieces they couldn't otherwise justify.

How are cheaper tools pushed on people? There's a broad range at the hardware store and generally staff will encourage you to purchase premium brands.
> To the contrary -- in between each sprint, there's a review, a retrospective

"in between" is overstating things a bit. The current norm seems to be two week sprints and all these things are done at the beginning and end of them. To be honest, I personally do feel like this gives the feeling of 'sprinting' because it usually means at least 2-3 days of the sprint are 'wasted' on meetings and that counts for a lot when it's 2/10 or 3/10.

And a lot of the terminology around this kind of process are geared to give you a sense of urgency. Right back to "Extreme Programming".
Unfair? So what would be fair? Banning articles and discussions on technologies which may compete with Deno.
I agree on all points.
GP was criticizing having entire teams including team leads who are too young to have much experience, when there are people around who do have that experience. How do you get from that to "Delaying this to an older age"?

> Circa Apollo 11 the average age of a NASA engineer was 28. In 2009 it was 47.

That has absolutely nothing to do with "treating people like children at continually older ages"

Circa Apollo 11, the average age of the American population was 29. Today it is 38.

In addition to that, NASA had its budget increase over 1000% between 1960 and 1965, so it had to hire a lot of new people for doing something nobody had done before. That is a very different situation than in 2009, when its (inflation adjusted) budget was around half the peak and had been slowly declining for almost 20 years. You don't hire a lot of people in that situation, so your workforce automatically ages.

I mean sure, we can include C++, go and java in there if you want? I don’t really know what the point you’re making here is?

> one of which , just like mypy, uses gradual typing!

This is like arguing that because your scooter also has a petrol engine, it’s as fast and efficient as an F1 car. My argument was that MyPy doesn’t compete with the capabilities of modern statically typed languages. TS might also technically be gradually typed, but most devs I know just go straight to fully typed TS, because working in a mix/gradual environment is painful and the community uptake of strict types is far higher.
Cocktails are really better suited as trade secrets, just as Coca-Cola doesn't have a patent that would give insight to competitors. If a bartender wants to protect their cocktail, it had better be novel in the first place, and the ingredients should be kept vague (eg. don't specify the brand of whisky).

Seems like a waste of energy to consider, though. The drink quality and the experience is more important than the novelty of a drink.
I'm curious to hear why you are ok with elementary through to high schools being paid for with tax?
With how seriously NTSB five-whys recommendations are taken at all other levels in the industry, you'd think repeated mentions that privatized ATC is problematic would be taken by the FAA as a strong recommendation to... stop allowing that.
Unions aren't about more wages. Unions are about checking owner/capitalist/CEO power. Why does the CEO get paid 10-100x more than the lowest paid worker despite working the same number of hours a day? That's the question unions aim to solve.

This puzzle revolves around power. Power is the ability to execute force or inflict pleasure or pain. A CEO is clearly capable of painful force against their unskilled labor. A CEO can make it so someone has a harder time housing themselves, getting medical care, or feeding their children. But what power does unskilled labor have over their CEOs? Virtually none individually. So we see this reality reflected directly in wages. Unskilled labor gets paid the minimum because they have no power, and CEO's get incredible wages because they have the power to demand them.

This "agreement" is not mutual consent, but fundamentally exploitation. It's even more so exploitation when labor is sent to these poor countries.

Unions are the answer to the puzzle of "how does an unskilled laborer exercise power/prevent themselves from being exploited." Through collective action a union can cause the CEO pain and put a check on their otherwise unchecked power. In this way individuals are no longer powerless but have earned a seat at the negotiating table.

China did exactly this. They became exploited, nurtured dependence on the exploitation, and now use manufacturing's dependence on China as well as state level collective bargaining as a cudgul to execute their imperialist will on countries like Taiwan.

If you do not have the ability to commit great violence you are not peaceful, you are harmless. If you do not have the ability to execute power, you do not make agreements, you follow commands.

I personally don't understand how unions are not seen as American as the 2nd amendment. Unions are as important to preventing capitalist exploitation as guns are to preventing colonial/fascist exploitation.
Ironically enough I do want people to benchmark Bolin. It's very performant. I didn't want to modify the EULA and accidentally put a hole in it. I'll definitely have a new one when the compiler gets to 1.0

The compiler should complain about aliasing but I should check when I get home. The problem here is array's have an invalidation function (it may resize and the pointer may change). It's not allowed to have aliases.

If the compiler knows what type is expected (for the enum/bitflag) it can figure out the value. 2. No, its highly dependent on knowing the type.

Yes, first argument.

_OnBreak can see the index if you have it but I can't remember if it lets you see v2. It should but I never actually tested it

> they pick them because they NEED what the unique features help them accomplish

If you read it off a list would you recognize what it does? People in the last 24hrs told me they don't understand why I would want onbreak and didnt notice you can chain breaks so you don't need a goto

> That's not a good trade.

It's tough. One goal is how to make the developers lives easier. I heard about people quitting their project because of comments over github

Ignorance is a bliss
What you just said isn't responsive to the previous comment.
So much of what you pay for is Perceived Value, rather than real value.
This is concerning, so it does last long in the body?
In these industries it might take 5 years to switch suppliers. There are also specs that can't be tested at the finished good level, even destructively.
If I understand the issue correctly, I have a Bamix model with 'metal coupling'. Swiss company, bought on Amazon UK, presumably available on Amazon US, no idea about 'malls'.

As an aside, AIUI there are two Boschs, and 'consumer Bosch' is merely a marketing/branding department.
The moderation team is also sensible from what I can see. I very rarely see a gray post that is downvoted because it is offtopic, inflammatory, etc, instead of just another point of view.
Another similar site is https://www.rtings.com/. They do very scientific, thorough quality tests. I've only used them to buy monitors so far, but it looks like they're starting to branch out from tech -- they have new categories for blenders and vacuums.
Is that what you wanted to study? Or did you do it because you had to, just to be able to pay for it?

You're OK with public school being paid for by tax, but not post secondary. Why?
> DMV doesn't care who pays it.

Well, thi is understandable but it doesn't explain why these fines are on the item and not on the person [who disn't paid the taxes]
Metal is not a panacea, and it can often lead to misleading marketing. Different metals wear at different rates and poor design can still lead to premature failure. Heck the viscosity of the lubricant was the cited reason for the failure of the compressor. Lubricated devices also need maintenance, otherwise the surfaces the lubricant is intended to protect will wear. The properties of lubricants can also change and cause moving parts to cease.

Engineering is both easy and incredibly difficult. It is relatively easy to design something that does a particular task (at least for many of the applications being discussed here). It is incredibly difficult to design something that does its job well or last for a long time.
I've had a blendtec blender for nearly a decade, and recently the gasket at the bottom started leaking. When I looked up pricing for replacing the container, I found it was nearly half the cost of the whole unit.

The motor doesn't sound as good these days, so I considered replacing the whole thing. Fortunately after I wiggled the gasket it seemed to stop leaking!
And it' such a shame because GNU/FSF was like the friggin Rebel Alliance fighting the Empire for the longest time: we'd never be where we are today without that stuff. Those folks were my heroes growing up.

But power corrupts, and once you've got everyone linking to your `libc`, the temptation to get some combination of lazy around standards compliance at best, and seduced by what amounts to proprietary vendor API lock-in to push your politics in at least some cases seemingly becomes overwhelming. Add in LLVM kicking your ass from here to FreeBSD with Stallman freaking the fuck out about `gcc`'s plunging relevance and there's understandable but still not acceptable instinct to go further into incompatible-by-design. People on here routinely lose their shit because NVIDIA or whoever makes it a nightmare to interoperate, and I don't like it either, but vendor lock-in is vendor lock-in.

`emacs` talks to the LSP servers via JSON for Christ's sake, which only makes it about 100x laggier, but you can see why they did it, because just like Docker even RMS can't convince anyone that What We Went With is "linking". God bless the VSCode people for accepting the performance penalty so that the rest of us can come to the party, they could have muscled LSP out of the way IMO and didn't. So `rust-analyzer` gets to shovel megabytes of JSON around and Docker gets to (figuratively) tarball a bunch of `.so` files so that `ldd` can "dynamically" link them.

The thing is, this way lies irrelevance. Even the GNU userland is pretty optional these days. Is Alpine, as I've taken to calling it, "GNU plus Linux"? Is NixOS? What are we putting up with this shit for? Bash?
I'm going to defend my leap in logic here, not so much to defend it outright but merely to explain it.

What I didn't say is that I generally believe it's hard to engineer for multiple business models. In my mind, it's sort of one path or the other. Own or rent.

If you engineer for long-term leasing, well, the price for ownership is going to be rather high. The potential owners, especially the militant ones, will grouse about the price and maybe use this as a new way to attack. They'll say the ownership price is gouging. And then they'll want lower prices on parts too.

I see your point about absolutism. I'm not really an absolutist. I just believe that the nature of business models means that insisting on ownership will essentially push the businesses into a corner. I elided that detail to keep things a bit shorter.
Anecdotally, if I'm walking or taking the train, I like to use top-down, north-oriented GPS. If I'm driving, I like the first person view with turn-by-turn directions. But I don't drive often.
Love the idea!

It seems you are not exposing server reflection https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/server-reflecti...

It would be very useful especially for ppl discovering your api and playing with it with gRPC UI client like https://github.com/rogchap/wombat.

A Universal build (with arm64 build) on OSX would help.
I’m patiently waiting for the part where we realize all the desperate grasping at Internet Points is collectively pathetic when we could be actually connecting with one another.

“But we’re just animals” That Smart Guy inevitably says I’m the comment section. Maybe, but it doesn’t excuse how ridiculous it is to be fighting over Internet Points. Go outside and meet actual people.

Statement from Meta:
Nothing in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early June, prior to the Supreme Court decision, mentioned abortion. The warrants concerned charges related to a criminal investigation and court documents indicate that police at the time were investigating the case of a stillborn baby who was burned and buried, not a decision to have an abortion.

I don’t understand why there should be a moral imperative to defy a warrant in this case. I hope all pro-choicers would agree, that the freedom of self performing a not-medically-supervised abortion at 23 weeks, the burning und burying in a plastic bag is _not_ the freedom most are fighting for.
It's fair that the funding of programs just to let people satisfy intellectual curiosity may not be convincing to many taxpayers.

However, real benefits of government funding can still exist. If we agree that work by PhD students in the humanities can create real benefits for a country, then there can be real benefits to having researchers come from a variety of economic upbringings, not just from wealthy backgrounds.

Many academics do social science research on how to craft better policies to improve the health and economic outcomes of underdeveloped rural parts of a country. They can arguably do more effective research if some of the researchers are from a low-income rural background. To achieve this benefit, a social science undergraduate education would need to be subsidized, so the student is eligible to work at the PhD level.
> who wants a phone app to remotely control a blender?

Here's an idea: if you find the blender to be too loud, go into a different room, close the door, and remotely trigger the blender with your smartphone app.

We put our blender in our pantry because we can close the door and blend without waking up the baby. Otherwise it (Blendtec) is too loud!

EDIT: to the downvoters, this was tongue in cheek. It would obviously be better for them to spend more money on soundproofing and less on a useless app!
