Not OP, but sometimes a problem isn't in a person's domain. Like, if you had a conversation with an engineer who knows "a little about databases" and they tell you that the hardware isn't up to the task, so they've had to enable disk write buffering even though they don't have battery backed caches, and they don't backup WAL logs, and the replicas are still falling behind the primaries during peak usage. Would you get stuck in yourself? Where would you start? You'd have to petition management for hardware upgrades or maybe shard the databases. This is why critical issues sometimes hang around for months or years until (if you're lucky) you have a "near miss", where a database dies, the secondary is hours behind and your untested backups didn't work for the last 2 weeks, and there's no point in time recovery anyway because there are no WAL logs. And after a 1 hour outage and major panic, someone reboots the dead primary database and or magically comes back to life. (Of course, you then have to worry about transactions that might have been lost when the system for rebooted, since the disk buffers could have had unwritten data...)
But, ... imitation is the new game- the new '24 electric Dodge Charger will supposedly purposely come with gears ... and air baffles. Baffles, to generate 'engine' sounds because speakers are too fake, and gears to make it seem like arriving to the next intersection is a series of arm wrestling steeple chases despite having a steadily controlled torque curve.

To be fair, plenty of internal combustion cars prior to this rising electric era have embraced sound issues and overcompensated. Like the Mustang engine sound passthrough to entertainment system speakers, and the GT-86 / FRS / BRZ engine sound tube passing through the firewall.

Could be. That said... the sensor is generally referred to as a "tire pressure" sensor, not a "wheel pressure" sensor. No sense in nit-picking though.

The point is they'd put a fart detector in the cabin (and send that data to the mother-ship too) if they thought it would be profitable.

In Switzerland, most instructor cars are Diesels, since they have higher torque and are very hard to stall. Then you go home and drive your parent's petrol engine car and you stall it all the time
You hit the nail on the head. It’s about power and authority.

The tragic situation in New York with respect to polio is all about the intersection of religion, power and control. People seeking that power need it attack the credibility of government institutions because they are a threat. If people die or suffer, so be it. It’s cynical and gross.
Potentially true on both accounts, but neither invalidate what I said.
in my opinion, then first step should be thorough profiling and measurement under real load to decide which layer needs to be scaled out first. That should comprise a baseline for future comparisons, so you know whether the app is actually doing better than before and to prioritize your efforts.

When I did web dev it was more important to know how the WEB BROWSER works, not how machine code works

it's not useful to know how the browser allocates memory or garbage collects it, it's more useful to know that it has web sockets. Don't get the idea that things you know are relevant to other people.
I wonder how much women are attracted or tolerant to women or depictions of women, that's rarely discussed, often assumed nonexistent, that I think exists in a substantial volume.
Before we start talking about tragedy of the commons with fertility, how about we fix the surrounding factors that cause people to have babies later in life or only one (subsidies are a good start, but they need to be massive if the surrounding systems and culture don't change)? And if we are worried about "dysgenically wiping ourselves of the earth" (a phrasing which I observe, with no implications intended, to jvery close to those used in the great replacement and white genocide conspiracy theories), how about we start massive immigration-and-integration programs? And stop doing business with the most oppressive ones...personally know a Qatari woman trying to escape that country but she can't leave without a male guardian signing off on it.

Rust: A hard decision pays off
Trauma is deeply intertwined with genetics.

For instance parents who have genes that increase impulsivity are more likely to e beat their kids exposing them to trauma, the kids are more likely to do dumb things that expose themselves to trauma, and the kids are more likely to do impulsive things like try drugs.

So it's hard to disentangle what portion of the effects of trauma are direct and which are confounds.
We cannot expect the code expansion to be deterministic with regards to the prompt without a severe reduction in AI capability.

The utility of these prompts comes primarily from the fact that the AI is aware of a huge amount of context and can therefore infer what a prompt is "meant to do." If a prompter had to exhaustively specify the context it would be no different than coding in any normal programming language.

That context necessarily changes over time. The same sentence 10 years ago might easily have a different contextual meaning than it does today.

Traverse these trees diligently:
https://roadmap.sh/frontend
https://roadmap.sh/backend

Every year learn a programming language that is a whole new paradigm. Stack-based FORTH, a Lisp dialect like Clojure, x86, etc. Do this while getting as strong as you can in your main language(s). Write your own simple scripting language that solves a problem you actually run into. Maybe something like a tool that scaffolds code for you.

If you enjoyed that, take it even further. Get familiar with some more advanced data structures and patterns. FSA, abstract syntax trees, bloom filters, compressed bit vectors. Build an API, a framework and an engine to get deep into the world of being a code steward. Learn how to write and document code that goes into central infrastructure.

While you're doing this, get something like FB reader and pay $7 for premium. Have it read the SWEBOK out loud to you. Get deep into understanding software design, construction methods, testing, maintenance and all of the moving parts in the E2E process.

Note that above isn't necessarily good advice, just like all of the advice in this thread. "having fun it" or "doing hallucinogens" or "listen to some online courses" won't accomplish your goal. If some of the things above resonate with you, go for it. Mostly, just fuel your curiosity without burning yourself out.

Look at what more successful people are doing, deconstruct how you could do that yourself, and keep doing it until "more successful people" are few and far in-between.
It hasn't changed, automatic gearboxes still eat up more fuel than their manual counterparts on the same cars.

In college, I optimized the array removal routine from O(N^2) to O(N) by using INVARIANTS

(I am providing a different answer, not building on the prior one.) Tether is a centralized financial service which mints USDT in exchange for USD and lets you redeem USDT later for USD (using fiat bank wire transfers in and out, taking a small but non-negligible cut in both directions, and so $0.9987 or somewhere around there is the true power bound target of the currency, not $1.00). Honestly, I am not sure how their service is legal in the US under merely FinCEN regulations (the ones that prevent you from selling large prepaid gift cards and redeeming them for cash), OFAC aside...
Nowadays you can buy a great bike for $1000 and be totally satisfied with it, ride it for years, or you can shell out $15000 for the top of the line model. And I'm talking about regular bikes, not e-bikes.

If health has no effect on conception success, I don't see any reason to be worried about declining health.

I agree that in-vitro and artificial insemination could remove an important feedback mechanism for sperm evolution, and that would be a cause for worry.
I'm confident that debian users are tend to be a programmer compared to average PC user. Programmers are richer compared to average so won't they buy things more? (though ads are a bit less effective for programmers)
> F1 and rally cars haven’t been manual for decades.

In racing, but particularly in F1, you can't leave a single millisecond on the table because the competitors won't. So F1 gearboxes shift in milliseconds which is obviously impossible for a human to do with a clutch pedal. And that is all F1 teams optimize for, speed.

When driving purely for fun (as most street sports cars are used) there is no stopwatch, so it hardly matters if the shift happens in 10 milliseconds or a 1000.

What matters is how much fun it is and that is where a good shifter and a clutch pedal with a nice feel shine.
On the bright side, there are likely relatively large caches hidden or lost under the sands and could one day be found in the Middle East and North Africa and dry, rural parts of Europe (like the Dead Sea Scrolls).
Yes. Technology advanced and CVTs and 10-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions are now more (by 1-2 mpg) more efficient than manual transmissions.
Good advice. Thank you.
> ..you can build a gaming PC like people already do.

With the trend that the comment above you is describing, there wont be any option to build your own gaming PC because the market has shifted to streaming services by renting out both hardware and software through the cloud because that is more profitable.
"One weird trick" for me is keeping a work journal. A simple text file that gets filled with one-liners: what I'm doing, what tasks remain, what angles I already tried to solve the problem at hand. It keeps me on track and more importantly it takes away the mental burden of remembering the wider context. When I switch away from the browser I can continue the work right where I left it off on the last line of the journal. At the end of the working day I can actually evaluate what I accomplished and what I planned to do.

That said, I only write the journal when I'm chronically distracted. Most often due to lack of sleep. On good days I just become so engrossed in the problem that hours just swoosh by.
A quick google search leads me to an NYT article: "In the last several days, the British government’s environmental adviser declared it “irresponsible” to have more than two children. And Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, asserted that including contraception in the stimulus package could reduce government spending."

If China wanted to reduce population in 2022, would it announce a mandatory one-child-policy? Or would it use any number of other more subtle techniques to reduce fertility?

So OPs remark doesn't sound very paranoid to me. It sounds unjustified--I can think of a million innocent reasons fertility is decreasing.
Not all ERC20 tokens are created equal, it simply means that the token implemented the ERC20 interface, it has a transfer() function as per the ERC20 spec, but that transfer() can check if an address is blacklisted. For example, take the WETH
I’m reasonably sure it’s been proven that IQ score is a poor measure of intelligence.

Although I believe there is some truth in what your saying, that those engineers had minds which are rare, I personally don’t believe it’s all genetics. Practice, experience, craftsmanship and purpose will lead a person to the same outcome.
Sometimes it executes it exactly how you think it will execute. But it's still slower because the "less optimized code" fit in its cache.
Yes, the whole problem of defining a "formal proof sketch" becomes trivial if you have a declarative proof language. More recently, even tactics-based scripts have gained semi-declarative features such as "bullet" characters for marking subgoals, and such things might ease transition towards a fully declarative format.
Only Rob could pull this feat. Not for the lesser mortals :-)
The sun's temperature is not fixed, it's the equilibrium temperature between the energy generated by internal fusion and the energy that escapes via radiation. If you build mirrors that reflect an appreciable amount of the sun's radiation back to the sun, its temperature will rise.

And now think about other countries conducting drone strikes on US soil as they see fit.
It would be only fair, right?
And what level of collateral damage would be acceptable in that scenario?
2000-3000 would be OK?
Maybe 10000-20000 since those other countries can't afford precision munitions and global surveillance network.
It's easy to justify any number of collateral damage when it's not you and yours that is the collateral damage.
Margret Calvert and Jock Kinneir’s work on UK road signage in the 1960s was a real turning point in research lead design and still looks great 60 years on the font and layouts were put through their paces and refined in all sorts of extreme conditions 60mph in driving rain etc.

My guess is they're they'll use Imagen and LaMDA to build a "conversational" search experience of some kind. So, instead of providing a list of websites to go to, they'll synthesize an answer to the search query, with imagery to go along with it, and so on.
Doesn’t staking require active validator software on a computer with a great deal of uptime?
A good question.

Freezing is not the same as seizing, and it's not even clear in which countries all those alleged Tether dollars are or in what form they are held

If it's true that Tether is based on fractional reserves, then having the US freezing their customers' assets seems helpful for Tether, as they will have more free assets to use
I'll add a fifth c-word in there: "coder".

When someone views me as a "coder" they’ve already diminished my work and reduced my pay. They’ve locked me into a specific output and function.

edit: My personal preference is "programmer". Calling a programmer "coder" is like calling a writer "typer" to me
I assume it's just very narrow FOV and not achromatic.
You haven't looked at the data it seems. There are only a couple of countries left with 6 children per family. Every other country is already on its way to 2 children or below.

The global average is now 2.5 children per women.

The age of huge population growth is effectively over.

What is the largest problem in your life right now?

I'd start there!

Even if this problem is non-technical/non-programming in nature -- by examining it in depth, it might very well lead into a set of related sub-problems where one or more of the sub-problems are technical/programming in nature!

Simple example from my own life: One "life goal" of "How do I make more money?" which is non-technical, non-programming in nature -- at one point in my life led to write software as a side-hustle.

This then (writing the software) became a sub-problem which was technical/programming in nature.

Start with your own life problems, technical or not. Break them down into sub-problems. One or more sub-problems will lead you down one or more technical/programming paths -- which in turn may lead you to more sub-sub problems!

If you love problem solving -- if you use this method -- you'll always have challenging and interesting problems in your life -- you'll never be bored!

That's because in solving one non-trivial problem -- you'll often encounter many more cross-domain sub-problems! When you encounter them, you'll need to learn more domain knowledge -- which is great motivation to study interesting and sometimes quite esoteric topics that you haven't studied before!

In other words, you'll keep learning, keep solving problems, and keep finding new problems to solve!

As far as how to best invest your time -- well, you'll figure it out!
Tried them all. It is critical to me that the app is subscription-free, runs on mobile, desktop and web.

I ended up using the native iOS/macOS notes app. Many features are lacking, I can only sync via iCloud, but the app syncs very well, has a decent UI and can handle attachments very well.
I've been enjoying using OpenSCAD whenever I can (instead of Fusion 360). The language is a bit janky but it's great for hacking something up in a purely procedural manner, and using Git.
Last I checked the government isn’t lynching people. Do we have crazies? Duh. But to compare the “crazy” in US to some of these places is either privileged ignorance or willful ignorance. There’s a reason we moved here, even with the issues present here. They’re magnitudes less.
> As soon as you hit 30-32 the rate of issues conceiving and issues with the baby grow exponentially.

The "exponential increase" is still very low in absolute terms
The reason is because ANCAP and Euro NCAP test for pedestrian safety and US NCAP does not. They have been sitting on their hands since 2015. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-20-419

> The relational model has strong implications for what a storage engine should do well.

agreed, the implication is that the engine should do everything well. rdbms is a product of being pulled in every direction, there's generally an index strategy for everything including fully connected hyper graphs, and that's how they ought to be because we can write wildly complex recursive sql queries and the goal is an efficient ideally optimal execution plan
I almost got t-bones a few weeks ago due to my pillars. It was a rural intersection that’s at an angle and I looked both ways. I didn’t notice the road was at an angle where an approaching car would be hidden. I pulled out, and if I had been .2 seconds faster I might’ve been dead. A van zoomed by going 60 and I braked all of a few inches from getting hit.

Stupid of me, of course. But it’s easy to miss a bad combination of factors.
> And for good measure they 'bank' with Deltec bank in the Bahamas whose head, Jean Chalopin, is the creator of Inspector Gadget.

You can't make that stuff up!
Eu here: have ac and man tx.
So does everyone i know.
A big difference may be that we turn on the ac only when really necessary, and a manual tx isn't that hard...kids at 16 do it, and have to pass their tests doing it in that, if you take your test in an automatic you are not allowed to drive a manual without being considered a learner again.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s a short term trade off. If you carve out of the effort budget that portion allotted for rearing the next generation and swap it out for or bias it strongly toward higher technology development, deeper universities, or whatever, then you cut yourself off the branch you sit on so to speak when the degree of that bias is so out of proportion. Maybe a generation can afford to delay the investments into the demands of population continuation. If the delay prolongs too long and bleeds into the next generation and interferes with how they define fulfillment in terminal non regenerative endeavors then they have effectively made their choices and continuation is not one of them.

That phrase the meek shall inherit the earth, I wonder about lately. The meek, the non power searching types who don’t busy themselves with all the variety of non regenerative endeavors that consume all those who chart courses out into deep space and all its loneliness perhaps avoid these population traps and mentalities that lead to the end of a people. The salt of the earth, those who preserve humanity effectively. What a startling pack of implications seem to be packed into that statement so pregnant with meaning.
It’s like asking which is the best mask to mask smoke at a cigar lounge / bar! Perhaps it’s possible - I’ll let sound experts chime-in, but I think opt-in is a better approach!

The loud 80s club style music is outdated and made sense before iPods / smartphones etc with individual custom playlists and thousands of songs on-demand.

Gyms should really provide headphones or Bluetooth or better yet online radio station to connect to if you ever want to hear their music (even remotely at home gym) and at your desired volume level, just like airplanes do! Quite airports like Dubai International is an awesome library-like experience especially when you have a long layover compared to regular noisy airports.
> what is power except the ability to impose negative consequences for not following instructions?

Yes, I think power is exactly this.

> What 'power' does England have over Scotland other than the power that Scotland has agreed to accept

A monopoly on violence to enforce its territorial integrity as the United Kingdom. Withdrawing from international treaties is generally accepted to be within a state's general powers. Seceding from an existing state? Generally recognised by the current international order as unlawful and solely a matter for the state to resolve internally.

Would there be international condemnation if Scotland seceded and England tried to take it back by force? Yes, but doing so would embolden existing secessionist movements in, e.g. Spain or the United States, so those states (plus the ones who promote non-interference in domestic affairs) aren't going to intervene in any meaningful sense.

I think power must go beyond consent and incorporate the expectations and realities of the nature of sovereign state power on the international stage. The UK has the right to insure its territorial integrity, while the principle of self-determination is limited within that framework.
Thank you for the correction and expansion. I didn't have the book with me at the time so I was just going from memory. This must have been the section titled "Crab Cannon".
