Ran some little dinky BGP program on a PC that accidently manipulated routing paths in the building (circa 1993). Suddenly hundreds of engineers and employees found their network connectivity hugely impaired, if not outright disabled. IT tore their hair out, looking for the cause for several hours, until I noticed the program was running. After I shut it down, network connectivity was magically restored. The IT guy (Tim) told me that he had been able to use wireshark to catch the routers in the act of mis-routing traffic, but couldn't figure out why. I kept my mouth shut. Two weeks later, I met Tim again, this time in the parking lot as he was carrying his stuff out of the building in a cardboard box after being fired. I'm sorry, Tim.
Seconded. Touchscreens are great in many contexts but I have never liked them on atms. The latency between tapping something and the result might be the bank checking my account balance, or might be something wrong with the UI. When I'm dealing with money stuff I don't want any distracting ambiguities.

Having said that I like machines enough that I assume I can figure anything out because it was intended to be used by someone, so I rarely struggle unless it's a truly awful design. Touchscreens are way more intuitive for most people, though in cases such as you describe I wonder what the helpless people think the buttons outside of the screen are there for and why they're reluctant to try pushing them.
I've got a HP Laser Colour WiFi printer/scanner/fax combo I bought from Argos (Like a British Amazon with local physical retail shops and same day delivery) 3 years ago. Wasn't exactly cheap though, around £250. Sits near a window so is often near sunlight. Still has the starter toner and prints like a charm - used it the other day to print a gig ticket. I don't even know how to change a toner. I use it very rarely but it's nice to have around whenever I need to print/scan things.
Maybe give it another shot or two, it's definitely a slow process to import. We have some improvements coming there in time but it's ideal at moment for smaller schemas and datasets.
This is definitely our plan, we've got some follow on posts that go into much more detail on how we built it so stay tuned for those.
So your claim is that a three year cycle is driven by a four year cycle?

Besides, the bust shouldn't be driven by the mining of new coins anymore. When a huge number we're being mined as a percentage of the total btc supply you could make that case. But now, the difference between generated btc now and after the halving is negligible.

But your overall point that causality linked to external factors is correct. It's just "the mechanism is halving the rewards" hasn't happened enough times to be valid because halving isn't reliable enough yet.
Related, but I'd recommend trying out Instagram through the browser. The Instagram mWeb experience is surprisingly full featured, and arguably better than the app because it hasn't been (yet) ruined by Facebook's disastrous product ideas.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they ruin it, too, though.
sorry typing early in the morning it was a "I realized" and then a "we decided" e.g. someone in pretty much every company needs to come up with an idea and then socialize it and get by in... We got buy in as "we decided" to unify the days we work together and we work remote... I feel like maybe in this forum i've offended someone for sharing - apologies, just thought in this context sharing our experience was interesting for maybe others...
I'll have to check that out as well
Thank you for providing a git repo to go along with the exceptionally detailed commentary!

2. Start building. It will attract people. Don't go out and find them.
Over the course of a 20+ year career, I did everything soup-to-nuts as a way to build broad experience and skills. So that included understanding how to build out and secure infrastructure, build automation for deployment, rollback, etc, in addition to my main expertise in building software. I think it's commendable for developers to do this because it helps them anticipate and understand how the software will actually be operated.

But what I found was that few employers really wanted this or were willing to pay for this added expertise. In fact many seem threatened by it, as they wanted to keep roles siloed. They didn't want to encourage cross-pollination of ideas or improvement. Maybe that sounds like sour grapes on my part, but that's what I observed. I'd say too that they ones who were keen to see developers add these skills did so because they wanted to cut the labor costs of people who were focused on operations - so now as a dev you were getting paid for one job but expected to do two.
You have an accurate handle on the situation. I was saying the need to state that someone who clearly has little connection to scotland isn’t Scottish, because so many random Americans pretend to be Scottish , is amazing.
Your claim of overt racism is incorrect, it was shaped from the filter of the news media. I would recommend that you look outside the bubble and look at the framing.

A great example was how shutting down travel at the start of Covid-19 was seen as racist. Yet, there should have been no issue as it was the only thing we can do in our global environment to slow the situation. Yet, the people in charge came up with that as racist.
I once bought a cheap but "smart" HP Ink jet printer for home. I don't have much to print other than the yearly tax documents. I was thinking that I would buy an extra ink cartridge and I should be good for 2 years and I haven't been more wrong. One ink cartridge didn't even last for 100 pages (less than one tax return). The day I realized that my ink cartridge only had 0.2ml (!!) of ink it in, I sold the printer and bought a brother ink tank printer. Now I don't have to care about my printer extorting me.
I have never found the simulation argument convincing and I'm a singularitarian. It just seems like a crappy argument about exponentials and branching trees and making up a measure on a fake space you invented to "reason" about probabilities.
DDR5 on-die ECC is not the same as traditional ECC. To that point, there are DDR5 modules with full ECC. On-die DDR5 ECC is there because it needs to be for the modules to really work at all.
They know it's not "real," they pasteurize it specifically to be able to sell it in the US.
There's certain parts of America that regularly eat raw ground beef on slices of bread! The FDA/USDA can't really do much once the product leaves the well regulated grocery stores
Ah I knew I forgot an obvious one, thanks!
That isn't why Signal uses phone numbers. It uses phone numbers because users have a local list of phone numbers they communicate with and Signal can use that to determine if people you communicate with are on Signal. If there was a reliable local list of email addresses they could use that but most people use cloud email now and don't have their email addresses they communicate with on their device.
I think it depends on what you tell them when you fill out the application. I was honest and didn't tell them I was a YouTube influencer, venture capitalist, underground artist, and/or credentialed researcher. I just wanted to play with it and see how it worked.

Most of the interesting things I've done in my life and career began with just wanting to play with something and see how it worked, but it was probably unrealistic to expect OpenAI to buy into that, given the large number of more worthy-sounding candidates in line ahead of me. Maybe I'll reapply with a different email address and make up a more mediagenic motivation.
How many college students want to bother with owning a home for <4 years before potentially moving somewhere else entirely once done with their studies?

The number of people that end up never owning or wanting to own a home is likely small. But there is a very real case for non-ownership depending on what stage of life people are in and how they want to live their lives.
That's fine for the magenta but what about the cyan, yellow, and black?
I do over 100 miles a day in a Tesla on autopilot. Touchscreen works fine.
This appears to differ across Europe.

I know for a fact (through living here) that Denmark and probably the rest of Scandinavia has property tax and inheritance tax -- holding on to family property is almost as expensive as buying new property.

Which part of Europe are you referring to? I once had Greek colleague who complained about having to maintain three generations worth of houses, so that might be one place where things are as you describe?
I had an ipod once.
There was a tremendous amount of conflict in the new world, just mostly not between countries (the conquest of the Americas had a death toll of 70-100m people).
> depends on many different factors

> They're effectively a highly regressive tax imposed on kids based on the income of their parents.

why is it just 'income of their parents' in your statement if there are 'many different factors'.
> way-ay-ay more effort for dubious gains

How is it way more effort? In any of the nicer languages, there's type inference.

Dubious gains? Strong static typing makes entire classes of runtime bugs impossible (null pointer exceptions, for example).
>But to a finance team, cash on your company's books (debits) needs to have the opposite polarity of money that your users hold (credits).

Then you're arguing how the value should be displayed. There's no reason to prefer one sign or the other in the codebase, as long as it's always displayed correctly to the correct actors.
Thank you Callum!
Had the same result with young dogs.
Not exactly. It's more like, "You pay in cash either way, we charge you $10/month so you can get the best price instead of the worst price." (It's often a difference of 4x.) This way more people can afford to get the healthcare they need.
Lego created a visual programming language for their mindstorms system that is exactly this. It's very similar to scratch and while it lets you get things done and you can build some pretty amazing things with tools like that. The ... second order tooling... just isn't there. We have a huge amount of tools running around that can deal with code as text, but there are no analogous tools for these visual programming environments.

I've dug into some of these tools in the past, wrote some projects using things in the 'creative coding' space like quartz composer, touch designer, vvv ... at a certain point the visual clutter gets you and, at least in my experience, it was just faster to rewrite in a creative coding framework like openframeworks/c++.
Eh, I’m German and almost bought a royal baker title some years ago. It’s mainly fun ;)
What does that mean? Financially? Did the person regret not making a “safe” choice?

“We regret the things we don’t do more than the things we do.” - Perhaps Mark Twain

I’d say, win or lose, it was likely worth it.
I think that's a huge overstatement of how much duplicated effort is involved. The process is much more akin to:

* OS 1 finds a bug in Gnome, reports it and perhaps fixes it

* OS 2 benefits from pulling in the new code as well, fixing bugs

* OS 3 writes a driver for the camera and publishes it as part of their kernel

* OS 4 finds a bug in the camera driver they started using, publishes their fix

Yes, there's some overheard to running 25 projects. There's also a huge downfall to excluding 24 projects from contributing as first class members of the project. To boot, it's also a situation where the more contributions make the fixes contributed even more battle tested and beneficial.

tl;dr - OSS development styles don't map onto commercial development styles cleanly
Thank you Shane!!
Obligatory "elixir+phoenix is supposed to inherit ruby on rails" remark
Very lucid explanation of the internal workings of this Imagen-like model. Thanks, I haven't seen things explained this clearly before!
I wasn't aware, and most of them do not advertise such a feature. It would be great if you could point me to one that allows this out of the box.
It's a subtle question. I'd say IntelliJ is less responsive, but I wouldn't say it's any slower. When stressed, IntelliJ's UI will get choppy and usually show a progress bar at the bottom. VSCode tends to keeps running at 60fps and stick a plain "Loading..." string somewhere in the UI.
I'm not sure what you mean. ClickHouse is an open source project. You can check it out here https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse
Ok - let's consider it - how many people go into law enforcement because they want to play with military toys without the burdens of military service?

Do you have any idea? Or are you just going with your gut on this one?
Something like Clojure inside Glamorous Toolkit (GTK) would make me a happy camper. The discussion about text is a moot point bc GTK makes it easier to create different visual representations of your code. Clojure makes it easier to keep code as either basic data types ([], {}) or functions without reaching for custom DSLs which OO defaults to.

That and that everyone adopts it so there's plenty of libraries and a community :D.

Seems like Clojure will get there with beefed up REPL workflows ala Calva/Portal. Community is amazing rn but tbd how it 10-100x (if ever).
Is there a limit to how many drams you can get per visit this way?

(Not that this would be a very cost-effective way to obtain extra whisky!)
Thank you! I'm actually not familiar with these recently built services. Can you link a few?
Based on friends cars, you either opt in or don’t get any features like nav, autopilot, and even music.

I remember during a crash investigation, Tesla released data on a customer before they gave it to the family and the NHTSA. I perceive that as a bad thing.
Editing in PDF sounds like a good idea.

I just tried it in Firefox (latest/postmodern, Linux) and none (not a single one) of the form's fields are editable.
It's an even worse experience than Libreoffice.
I mean I think FOSS is objectively bad for humanity.
But I'm an outlier.
Niagen is a trade name for NR. So you're asking the same question.
I've skimmed through some of his videos in the past to get a basic introduction to syntax and core concepts, but I can't help but think they're not very useful for much more than that. I'm not really sure what skill level his videos are targeting. He spends a long time on basic stuff like if statements - like do you really need to watch a guy type the classic age check if-else-if-else example for 3 minutes when anyone with basic programming experience could get the same information from just being shown a blurb of text doing an if statement? But then the more interesting stuff like goroutines and concurrency get about the same amount of time as if statements before moving onto something else. I feel like it doesn't really activate my brain at all.

And especially for a language like Golang where there's a pretty good, comprehensive, official interactive tour[1], I don't know why you'd watch a guy type for 4 hours.
