There was an article a few days ago about avoiding "cute" error messages and I think this is a great example of a site that really needs to take that to heart. Loading this page without JS enabled results in "aghhhh i'm evalyooooooating" and similar messages that really show quite poorly.
I saw a great commentary from an art gallery owner on Tiktok about the "inherent value" of art. The inherent value of art is zero.

That is, the art itself has no inherent value. The actual value of a piece of art is whatever you can convince someone to pay for it.

One thing that can help is having receipts of what you've sold an artists work for in the past, since you can use that to inflate that amount a current piece will sell for.

To put it another way, how good of an artist you are is secondary to how good of a salesman you are (or how good of one you hire on your behalf) when it comes to making a living.
They started a crackdown on those gangs after that event, and have arrested almost 50,000 gang members so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Salvadoran_gang_crackdown
Debian's curation is not so strict as you suggest, and what's more: there are more distributions than just Debian. Add the packages you need and you'll be fine. I can speak from personal experience in this respect.
1.8% of a national budget is a huge deal though. For the US government that would be 2 - 3 NASAs. Not catastrophic but that doesn't mean we shouldn't push back against national governments gambling with their treasuries on purely speculative assets.
Ostensibly, laws are not designed to be tools for protecting business models.
> Concorde survived on government subsidies, especially with the R&D costs, but also the maintenance chain.

Yes, and this was mostly necessary because of the small unit counts and small number of routes, not because of fuel costs (though the latter certainly did not help.

Both could be significantly better with Boom: more routes, and lower fuel costs.
While the story is pretty uninteresting in the sense that it’s being fixed and there’s no sanctions, I find the story to be interesting in the technological use and regulation perspective.

- To use the charger you need the Tesla app.

- Tesla bills you through the app.

- Tesla shows you the charge rate in app.

- Tesla is in violation for not having the charge rate on the device.

This seems to be a case where the law is silly. In order to use the product, you need an app, and said app shows you the charge rate. The law says the product needs to show the charge rate.

It seems kinda silly to not include the app as part of the product. Maybe there’s an argument that the government office in charge of verifying that the machine bills at an accurate rate can’t reasonably audit an app, but it seems like the law is just “stuck in the past” in terms of how people use products and services today. Maybe the Germans would say this an intentional policy in some way (appify everything is bad for society?) but I’m not sure I’m convinced that’s intentional nor good.
It seems like there would be a ton of arbitrage examples like this
Installing a professional audio interface on Linux
I have a massive music collection in the form of the artists (etc) that I have added to my streaming library. The issue is that actually managing this massive collection is a huge PITA due to the extremely limited interfaces provided. I'm on Apple Music and the Mac app is trash that just seems like a bad port of their iOS app. The iOS app has tried to focus so much on "discovery" that "management" is a distant second thought. For example, of the 5 icons across the bottom of the screen, 3 of them are different flavors of discovery. Naturally, you can't customize the UI at all.

Personally, I get all my external discovery via better mediums. The problem is that I keep adding and adding great music to my library and then can rarely find it.
Very implausible imo, have you used VR before? Will never be safe to use in public spaces: what and who is around you is unpredictable, so only AR will be viable.
> Mostly your ability is capped by your intelligence and exposure to other really good programmers. But it plateaus very fast, and there is no learning after a certain amount of years of coding (I would argue at 4-5 years of good/varied experience mark).

This is very false in the embedded space. It may be false in other spaces as well.

Yes, and by the same token, discrimination on the basis of caste would likely be judged to have a disparate impact based on nationality, race, and religion (against Hindus / Indians), since such discrimination won't impact people of other races. We just don't have actual precedent about it yet, but any company that doesn't take action over it is playing with fire.

> As someone with no personal experience farming, the switch from say ox drawn to horse drawn plows, or from two field to three field systems might seem to be no big deal, but for an agricultural society they were very much revolutions.

I am not saying huge changes did not happen occasionally. Just that they happened less frequently, and when they did happen, often happened at a slower pace. Not sure what I can say to make myself clearer.
"Method X could create oxygen on (Moon|Mars)" headlines drive me nuts.

Before we sent astronauts to the moon successfully we discovered the hard way that astronauts are likely to die if they breathe pure O2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

Future Apollo missions mitigated the danger of fires by being really careful about the materials in use, but that's not a good answer for long term missions, particularly if the astronauts are going to conduct industrial activities such as in-situ resource utilization.

If you want to make breathing gas on Mars, O2 covers 20% of it, the rest of it is going to be an inert gas like Nitrogen, Argon, Helium or SF6.

Of course every method of producing O2 in space works by separating O from something else and the "something else" is likely to be useful, such as H2, C, Al, etc.

Anyone else notice the example query times are very high? Might just be that the example code was written on a slow machine, but I'd normally expect queries like this to take ~10ms in production, not ~500-1500ms.

It occurred to me that my site will inevitably be taken down if 3 is the limit so I've lost all motivation to use it for anything.

I don't know the embedded space, but distributed computing, web development, ML systems, etc all are this way. This assumes you are actually getting good experience (which most people do not).

Maybe if you are writing a new database that will be sold as an offering at AWS/GCP/Azure, but those roles do not apply to 99.99% of engineers.
Of course, there's also the risk of causing an accident...
I appreciated Roerink's description of negotiations. A transcript would have been nice, but based on my own experience when everyone must make concessions, it's easier if they can compromise behind a closed door.

> “Everything blew up” in negotiations last week, Kyle Roerink, executive director at the Great Basin Water Network, told The Hill in an interview.

> “You had some parties bringing a good chunk of water to the table. Others didn’t even want to be bothered with coming to the table with anything meaningful,” Roerink said. As a result, as of Monday evening, the states had not reached an agreement “as the nation’s largest reservoirs rapidly deplete themselves.”

> Roerink called the breakdown a microcosm of the poor relations among stakeholders on the river. The major players, whom he dubbed the “water buffaloes,” have “touted their ability to collaborate and coordinate and negotiate in a civilized manner, but if the last week is any indicator, folks are not singing ‘Kumbaya,’ they are sharpening their knives,” he said.

> Rather than negotiate towards a mutually beneficial agreement, he said, parties have been focused on reaching an arrangement that benefits them at the expense of others.

> “What we are seeing is a situation where folks are talking about for legislation, litigation, other tactics to try and get the best deal, they believe, for their respective constituencies,” he said. “But I think one way to describe what we’re seeing so far is that there are entities out there that think this is a zero-sum game.”

It would be really interesting for DoorDash to argue in court that ordering food from them and then paying for it somehow harms them.

But in case you really can’t tell, no the terms don’t apply here. Lawsuits generally assume people have put on their big boy pants, if sell a painting for 10$ that ends up being worth millions that’s on you. You decided 10$ was a reasonable price at the time of sale and you don’t get to say but your honor I am an idiot.
Just to counter the common thread of people aging out of contemporary music - I'm in my 50s and find new music that is awesome by devoting significant time and energy into discovery.
Well, there are valuations and there is value. WeWork had a decent ahot at becoming public before things came crashing down, so a valuation itself isn't telling a lot.
I make a lot of fermented food. This guide complicates things a bit. You don't really need an airtight container with a fermentation lock. The easiest thing to do is just keep a layer of brine above the top of whatever you are fermenting. I use mason jars of all sizes and flip the lid over backwards and put the ring on loosely. This allows any gas to escape and keeps contaminants out.
For what it's worth, the "cities redesigning themselves around them" thing actually came from a news report about some guy's book about Kamen. As far as I can tell he never said that himself.
You really contradicted yourself when you said that 'one really good programmer can oversee 5 or 6 2-4 years experience programmers' - and then said that experience counts for nothing. That experience is what allows you to oversee the junior folks. That's the value. And yes, it does increase logarithmically. But also the pool of junior folks who make it to senior and then staff and then principal drops off logarithmically too as they pursue management, or farming.

Career progression as an IC involves increasing not your technical output (although technical output matters) but primarily your blast radius and influence. You can get that by leveling up in multiple areas (iOS + Android + Server) or by pursuing that logarithmic growth in one deep technical area.

So yeah, you can only get so good at iOS development - but if you want to keep learning, pick up other complementary skills and leverage them. This is a choose your own adventure game and yes, you can fail.

I'm not particularly old, but I do mentor many staff engineers in the course of my work. Some a lot older than me, some younger, some the same age (although not too many younger).
Is there a reason you are learning it now?
Fermentation is pretty much safe. Make sure you get two things right:

1. Salt. You want at least 2% by weight (vegetables and water). Recipes differ, up to 5-ish %, just follow the recipe.

2. Anaerobic. No need to fear opening the jar every now and then, but submerge the vegetables in the brine and don't stir the brine much when you open the jar (to taste it, for example). There may be white fungus on top where the brine-air line is, but that's benign. Just skim it off.

If you make sure those two conditions are met, lactobacilla (and yeast) will out-compete everything else. Especially everything dangerous.

I was reading this article [0] which was posted earlier on HN [1] and I was wondering whether Larry Wall's "three great virtues of a programmer" which includes "Hubris" was at play.

According to Wikipedia, Hubris is -

"describes a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride or dangerous overconfidence"

I think as we go along with the "Winner takes all" approach to venture-capital driven software, maybe "humility" should also get added there.

I am convinced that if you were to dimple the propeller (tips) such as a golf ball is pitted, you would reduce this effect.

When I make it I use 1 carton of Goya Mango Nectar and TWO reapers. Let that simmer in a pot for 20-30 minutes. Let the mixer come to room temp and mix with your kombucha brew before moving to second fermentation. It'll give a noticeable burn, but the mango counters it nicely. Don't be tough with the peppers, those TWO go a long way. My first attempt I did six because I had no gauge and it felt like I was drinking sandpaper.

When reapers are out of season, you can substitute with 6 habaneros. Same level of heat (maybe a bit less), but slightly different flavors since reapers and habaneros' fruity flavors are different.

Is the need to contribute to society a tyranny?

Is it a tyranny to enforce laws like a speed limit through a school zone?

Art, in its current state, has been fully commercialized in that if you don't have someone who is "in the know," then there is very, very slim chance of being successful. I was briefly in the art world (paintings) and everyone wanted to kiss the successful dealers' asses to get exposure and get a curated exhibition. W/o it, nothing's going to happen. It's sad but that's what it's become.
The Markdown Language Server
It's a weak password because it has a simple description: 30 repetitions of !.

This generalizes to a space which still has a simple description and is very small: the set of all strings of lengths 1 to 30 that are repetitions of an ASCII character.

If we assume 95 printable ASCII characters, the entire dictionary of these strings is just 2850 entries.

Repetition is one of the most obvious ways of building a longer string, and of encoding long strings of symbols in a short program.

This made the 1103A the world’s largest, most expensive punched tape machine.[0]

[Computers] could not draw lines on paper accurately enough for design purposes. ... We simply replaced the cutter head of the milling machine with a tiny diamond scribe ... and drew lines on sheets of aluminium.

Also: ...the somewhat loose airframe manufacturers’ computer association got together to write an APT compiler for the IBM 7090 computers in 1961. Each company sent a single programmer to Convair in San Diego... It sounds as if the airframe manufacturer's computer association had better, or at least more effectively cooperative, "soviets"/"workers' circles" than the ОКБs.

[0] for reference, the 1103A had a clock speed in the kHz, and weighed ~17'500 kg.

I don't think they contradicted themselves at all.

You first learn how to program. Then you learn how to spot recurring problems, teach, and right-size your mentorship.
This is a capitalist view of value, but it has flaws in relation to art. The problem is that art does not exist in a vacuum.

To get at the real value of art, something that is not a necessity, you would need to somehow query every individual in a way where they had all their needs met and enough expendable income to use on art so that they would seriously consider buying it. But it can't be too much wealth or the situation is trivialized. The context puts a lot of restrictions on when someone is willing to buy an aesthetic good that doesn't provide other functions.

Yet, as a society we can recognize that art benefits us on a social and intellectual level. So a society as a whole may want to patron some artists, regardless of what they make. This is an inert value for art, a recognition from society that there is value there, even if they don't know it exactly and wouldn't buy it for themselves.

100% agree - I find staging useful here. It’s the default ‘non-production’, and has realistic data shared in a way that anyone in dev can access it. Think ‘sacrificial prod with no actual real customers hitting it right now’. Depending on data sensitivity requirements, it might have a subset of real data, or no real data.

Having prod be the default is a problem, as it’s inevitable someone will accidentally break production/write junk to it when they didn’t realize they were talking to prod.

Having dev in it inevitably results in broken prod pushes because no one has ever tried it outside of a synthetic dev environment.
I tried to make this work for me, but I finally gave up this week and wrote a traditional backend component for part of my backend because supabase doesn't support transactions and I am NOT going to write my whole backend in postgres functions.

I had a laptop in storage and went on a trip. I didn't want to bring an expensive MacBook but I did want something that could take a note or two and check my email so I took a very old Dell latitude with me running arch on an intel 2xxx something (ancient)

When I booted it up I realized to my surprise I had been running arch not windows...so I checked my email and then decided on the hotel wifi to try and update it.

I will admit after about 6 years there was quite a bit of fumbling with pacman sources and keyrings and the delta to upgrade on a laptop that old and hotel wifi wasn't great but after I left it for an hour it finished.

I rebooted it and there I was in i3 without a thing wrong. Wild

Maybe if I used gnome it would have been a different story but I think the point of the article holds that arch is much more stable than people give it credit for if you are willing to learn a bit about how it works.
> My credit card has an annual fee, but includes DashPass for free when I use it. So, if I order twice a month, I'm even-ish on costs versus the discounts.

Technically you are not even-ish, you just spend more money. It's like buying a piece of clothing that's on sale - you don't save money unless you intended to purchase that exact (or an equivalent) item anyway. So unless you were anyway going to buy that specific food (rather than e.g. cook your own food, make a sandwich, or bake a frozen pizza) you are not at all profiting.
