> Is champagne higher-quality than coca-cola? Of course it is

Hm. I don't think I'd use the normal definition that way. I see it, but I wouldn't compare them.

But maybe that's why I'm suggesting this weird definition. The thing that people point to with the word, even in your example, is a bundle of traits that either stops existing or becomes irrelevant when you remove the speaker's preference. I don't think there's anything in "quality" except that normative aspect, because we can articulate the other stuff by just describing the champagne.
New Orleans isn't marginal, though. Without exaggeration, that stretch of coastline is probably the most important collection of ports in the western hemisphere.
Sure... give all kids the same minimal starting point (schooling). Workplaces should just pick the best candidates, no matter the race or whatever other protected group status they look at.

I live in a former socialist country (we had red stars, parades and a dictator), and considering race or any other non-merit based factor in eg. high school and college aplications would be seen as wrong (and in case of race/gender, racist/sexist). Same for jobs.
Let’s assume a random person across the street happened to make identical orders exactly when he did through random chance.

Could Door Dash argue that person was being a nuisance?
wild peculiarities aside, knowing how to project your voice is a surprisingly useful skill to acquire.

That "sans" is doing a lot of work, especially with regards to electronics. Gold's traits - high conductivity, low reactivity - provide a lot of inherent value because we build electronics in a highly reactive atmosphere.
Just so no one is confused - inventor Dean Kamen is still alive, but CEO Jimi Heselden who bought Segway in 2009 died.
Then, if I got it right for TLS-ized variables, dlsym should do the trick. Namely, dlsym will return the address of a variable for the calling thread. Then this pointer can be cached the way the thread wants. On x86_64, it can "optimize" the dlsym calls by reusing the same address for all threads, namely 1 call is enough.

Now the real pain is this static libstdc++ not libdl-ing anything, or worse expecting internal glibc symbols (c++ ...)
I don't think that AI is going to replace those artists, but if it does, maybe some will be convinced to become AI researchers :-) ?

These art AIs are very good at driving the point home that our DNN AIs are seriously capable. But those capabilities need to be nursed by ever-growing armies of people. True, maybe there is a limit to the amount of people needed to profit from coloring pixels in images, and maybe, just maybe, that ceiling is going to go down the more these artist AIs are used. But AI has the potential to break open areas we can't even imagine now. I for example have trouble imagining that in the time of the horses, there was an industry for traffic signals, another for transporting horse fuel between countries (but maybe there was?), another for teaching teenagers to drive the carriages and get their horse-driving licenses, and so on and so on. Although I don't know much about those days, maybe it was popular to be young and to horse around on top of a good steed.

Maybe we will be teaching our kids about how to survive in the jungle of wild AIs we have created for them, and teachers will be needed. Maybe we will hemorrhage AI-produced content, and in twenty years, there will be an industry for certifying that something is human-made (maybe a lesson to learn about how chess survived in the age of incredibly capable chess-playing computer programs?). Or maybe something else we can't quite see yet.
> How can they be having a currency crisis when they don't have a currency?

You're right. It's technically a balance of payments crisis.

At the brink, and from outside, they model similarly. Deposits in El Salvador banks start behaving like a currency as international depositors haircut against the risk of seizure and capital controls. From inside, they're different as the long inflationary phase of a currency crisis is truncated to a default and reset.
Oh no, I don't profit at all. More like, I know I'm going to be spending here, so I'm going to grab some perks where I can.

* Annual card fee is cheaper than DashPass
* Decent points rewards from the card itself
* DashPass significantly reduces fees
* I use promotional discounts when I can

I expect to order food for delivery at least twice per month anyways, and the savings I get from this scheme offset the annual fee on the card. Plus, I keep some other delivery apps on my phone in case they send me desperation coupons.

I do also keep some frozen goodies, but I consider ordering out to be a treat. I just like to eat, and sometimes, KFC is what's gonna hit me right. Other times, a frozen pizza, which I greatly prefer to cheap chain-store pizza.
This is a great point, but I wonder if it's all there is to it. I grew up in the 90s, yet for a long time preferred music from 60s to 80s (I like some things from all decades, but not as much), and I know a lot of people that find the same, regardless of when they were born. I've heard many arguments against this "nostalgia", including the always present "there's still great music, you just need to know where to look" (almost always without any specific examples).

Perhaps there's a case to be made that these older songs are still listened so much today, even by those who weren't alive back then, because by some abstract measure of soul satisfaction they were better? I'm careful with this hypothesis as I don't want to be unfair with newer generations of artists, but I don't think it's so crazy to consider either.

For example, the last 10 years or so have been greatly influenced by social media and fear of saying the wrong thing and being "cancelled". Of voluntarily silencing ourselves. How wouldn't that impact the artistic output of this generation? Couldn't this be a reason for a lot of modern music "lacking a sense of personality"?

I feel with social media we have gone pretty far into investing in appearances alone, and I think I'm not alone in this belief. Maybe the next years will be marked by more and more people sharing a wish to return to the overlooked authenticity which we used to call "art with a soul".
Haha, I've experienced that.

You can argue everything with "because of performance reasons" because it requires way more effort to actually check it.
This is the norm in healthcare - show high hourly rates for recruitment and pay you only for the time spent with the patient. You are given a productivity target (like 85%) and constantly under pressure to spend as little time as possible on company overhead (for necessary documentation). Some people just give up, clock out and do the paperwork in their own time.

Eventually people just start leaving the industry all together.
I suspected that was the long term vision for AMP.
Bach had a salary while he was the Cantor at Thomasschule, but most of his income came from funerals and weddings.

https://bachnetwork.org/ub12/ub12-heber.pdf

There were a lot of great composers in that period, but that's over 200 years and there were probably many more who are forgotten or were never even given the opportunity. And today there are probably more songs released on Spotify daily than were written in all of the 1700s.

I've only got 7 years in at one FAANG maxed out at L7, so you've got both years and diversity on me in terms of experience.

With that said I profoundly disagree about the plateau in effectiveness as an absolute thing. I started programming professionally when I was around 20 and got a lot better quickly. By about 24 or 25 I was pretty deep into the asymptote of what I was learning at various startup jobs.

I went into a marquee shop at 28 and my ability exploded for several years, before kind of sloping off again for maybe the last 2-3 of those 7 years. I left and did more entrepreneurial stuff in completely new (to me) domains, and have seen another crazy surge in what I can accomplish that's still running right now. I currently run circles around myself from a year or two ago.

There were definitely incredibly capable up-and-comers doing amazing shit at 23 when I was playing pro ball, but the truly heavy hitters skewed (again not exlusively) 40, 50 and up. It takes time to master a craft. Even the galaxy-brained 20-somethings were intellectually brute-forcing past some deficiencies in experience.

You go through Coders at Work which I hope most would agree is a pretty good sampling of real legends (it unfortunately doesn't include many women, I think just Allen, it's a product of its time in that sense and people like Liskov are no-brainers to have been included), and these folks weren't 25 then, and many are still kicking ass today. Brad Fitzpatrick I think was the youngest one when it was released in 2009 and he's kicking more ass now than ever.

Maybe in some group explore/exploit banditing the color of a button in the GMail compose window 20 years of experience makes little difference (recent meme from /r/ProgrammerHumor), but I think that meme is a caricature.
I don't think system-level static linking precludes loading code for e.g. extensions at runtime. Although admittedly I can't say I know any examples of doing that offhand, and in many ways you'd be building an limited ad-hoc dynamic linking system.
I remember growing up during the cold war in western Germany which was formally under the control of the allied forces. So they were allowed to go supersonic with the military jet aircraft and frequetly did so, even in rather populated areas (by German standards - in general, Germany is much denser populated than the US). It was a bit annoying but definitely survivable (here I still am).

I think it was a mistake for the US to ban supersonic flight outright and especially at all altitudes. I can't imagine a sonic boom being a huge problem, if you are 10 miles up or higher.

You just don't get it. Even after amortized maintenance you're making money doing delivery. Not much, but you are. Certainly on the order of min-wage on a bad day and much better on a busy day.

If you want more money you have the choice between picking up an inflexible 2nd or 3rd low hour job vs filling that time doing gig economy crap using stuff you already own (a car). Gig economy crap might not pay well after expenses, but is still very much net positive after expenses.

They know that cars cost money per mile to run. They might not know exactly how much but they have a pretty good idea on an annual basis. If picking up a crappy min-wage job that requires you to keep to their schedule is the alternative then gig economy crap is often the least worst option.

These people aren't idiots. Stop acting like they are. This is one of the things HN does that really pisses me off. As a rule poor people are much, much, much better at tracking cumulative expenses than the kind of people who shop at whole foods and only have a vague idea of what things cost because they can afford it either way and don't actually need to hone that skillset.
Yet most people who can afford to, choose to buy larger vehicles than they need.

Car manufacturers are not shaping people’s desires, they are simply delivering them what they want.

A Corolla/civic continues to be available for purchase. Yet people want to sit higher up, so you see the vast increase in sales for RAV4/CRV.

The concept of intersectionality was invented by a black woman who definitely has never had any problem pointing out how black men can oppress black women. Nobody wielding the concept need have any discomfort pointing this out. So I don't think anyone has any idea what point you're making here with the repeated innuendo.

If you were hoping to suggest that intersectionality does not allow black people to be considered oppressors, that's just a right-wing caricature of the concept. You should read about intersectionality from sources that actually describe the concept accurately, rather than ones that merely want to sneer at it.
I'd have been disappointed if that didn't get downvoted. Kinda proves my point
You can reuse hooks between multiple components. You can't really do that with the lifecycle methods of class-based components.
Yeah I didn't mean using the exact same approach. They'll probably have to do things like building artificial reefs, planting mangroves, raising buildings/roads, and maybe something like Tokyo's giant cisterns. In the end it may not work but it seems like it's worth trying for a few decades.

The statement was sustainable synthetic fuels. Synthesizing from other fossil fuels like coal or natural gas definitely doesn't qualify.
"Medium" and "AI" are spot-on IMO, but the "UI" track seems suspect to me.

"Click" and "Tap" are essentially the same thing (on a desktop vs. on a mobile device): the user actively selecting what content to view next. So are "scroll" and "autoplay" (for text/image and video content, respectively). In the former, the user has agency over what to view, and in the latter, the transition is automated.

I'm very skeptical that fully automated UI will ever replace giving the user a small selection of recommended items.
Nipples are dandy, but one overlooked and very simple, effective method is a foodgrade plastic bag (sandwich, ziplock) placed over the mouth of the jar and held on with a rubber band. The flexibility of the rubber band allows gas to escape and if paranoid about the top layer, a leaf or more of cabbage (or something else) can help press the desirable layer beneath the brine. I've found that after 10-14 days the leaves become unappealing but do not affect anything beneath. Note: I ferment in Florida, with the AC rarely below 80f unless such occurs naturally. I have learned to increase the salt and decrease the time when the temp is above 77f.
I used to use DoorDash heavily, I have since given up on all food delivery services. They are incredibly unreliable, overpriced, and it takes too long. I recently tried delivery after moving to a new place and it took 75 minutes to get a beef & rice bowl delivered from a restaurant that was 2.3 miles away, and cost $26 for what was a $12 product. When it arrived it was cold and I had to immediately microwave it.

At that point, why would you even bother? I could have /walked/ 2.3 miles there and back, sat down for dinner in the restaurant, and still done it in less than 75 minutes while saving $14.

The "gig economy" is driving everything to the lowest common denominator /and/ exploiting workers at the same time. I don't want somebody who can barely fog a mirror and is desperate delivering my food, I want somebody that gives a damn and is compensated well enough they can afford to give a damn. I don't mind paying a premium for delivery, but I do mind paying a premium and getting nothing in return. The reality is that the economics just probably don't support delivery even being a thing unless it's a very large order because of the increased cost of fuel and maintenance.

> No one except the business owner should be able to edit the Google Listing.

Or something in between: you should be able to "suggest" an edit and then when enough people confirmed it the information would show up but with something like "not confirmed by the owner".

Otherwise Google would lose all this free workforce that is the people who go to restaurants and then fill the missing bits because the owners don’t know they have a listing on Google Maps / don’t know they can edit it.
No, you made yourself quite clear. What I am saying is that it wasn't actually substantially less frequent. There were lots of frequent changes but the further we move away from them, the more they blend together. Both our lives grow more different, meaning it is more difficult to understand what these changes meant, and the records of these changes become more scarce. Basically if you showed a medieval peasant a palm pilot and an iphone, they'ed see that they are different things but they wouldn't really understand just how much changed between them both in terms of how difficult the technology was to develop and how influential those changes were on our lives. Likewise we struggle to comprehend the intergenerational variation in their lives. But since around the year 800 you have a pretty consistent rate of 3-5 major revolutionary breakthroughs of the same caliber as the steam engine per century.
Nuclear has the problem that you somehow need to hoist a reactor from the Earth into space, and putting nuclear materials makes a lot of people nervous. (What happens if the rocket launch fails and scatters radioactive debris?)

An alternative is to gather the reactor fuel on Mars, but that sounds like a difficult undertaking.

I think the expectation is that the energy needed to make methane on Mars will be provided by a lot of solar panels.

(I would be curious to know how the math works out. For instance, if you send a Starship fully loaded with solar panels to Mars and spread them out on the ground, how long will it take those solar panels to gather enough energy to make enough methane to return the rocket to Earth? Is it one year? 10 years? 100 years?)
I wish that worked for me, I've found there are folds in the bag that seem to be good starting points for mold/infection. Unfortunately I'm not certain what in my process caused this, after a few tests I decided it wasn't for me.
> but it's an incorrect and very misleading way of presenting the data.

As a Salvadorean I can tell you that is pretty much the way the goverment propaganda machine works... Misleading, inaccurate data or straight up lies. On this particular case the reality is that levels of tourism are back to 81% of its pre-pandemic levels, which is good on its own right, but wasn't good enough for the goverment agenda... so they starting pushing the "tourism is up 81%" thing and slapped bitcoin (which as little to nothing to do with that) on top. if you dig deep enough even the own goverment clarifies that they are talking about recovery and not growth on some publications underneath the propaganda [1]

Here's what I'm excited about: When young I had a burning passion for programming but 30 years of programming for corporations and other "profit centers" slowly burned me out and used up my passion, leaving none for my self.

Now that I'm retired I'm doing the best programming of my life. I got my passion back. I'm seriously thinking of devoting a few years to seeing what I can do when I have the freedom to take my time and do it the way I like to do it. I'm always inspired by the story of Colonel Sanders who was 62 living on a small social security income when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken. Who knows, retirement may be the greatest adventure of my life if I make it that way.
