Amazon always wants as much as it can automated, they devote an enormous amount of money to that. This is not going to move the needle on something they were already dedicated to.

And that argument is almost always silly. All of these big companies are devoting resources all the time to reducing payroll. It is banged into their heads in MBA schools that "payroll is your biggest expense", and that is a bad thing. With that mindset they are always looking to reduce payroll.
I certainly wasn't advocating that no one should get opioids because I have a high pain tolerance, rather that we maybe shouldn't be prescribing them by default for everything.

In the same vein, I think a lot of research ought to be done into non-addictive painkillers. Then the risk would basically be zero and everybody's happy (except for pharma companies that make bank off of opioid addicts, of course)
I think this is a great idea. I am for moving closer to local-first infrastructure.

For this to work, businesses would have to hire IT personnel or a consultant to implement and maintain it. There is also how much this can synergize with self-hosting.

One of the things I'm looking at doing are distributed software forges and "community supported software" (that uses open-source and free software as its base).

Also, there was an article posted here about the semantic web and a mention of something called the "data mesh". I think being able to interchange data will be important. Without that, then you're still locked into the software and possibly the vendor customized things for you.
The power/problem of cannabis is that it’s not as addictive/strong as opium. Make no mistake, this is a business problem. Just like disposable razors, the (stock) market always rewards the high that doesn’t last, or leaves you wanting more.

The one thing that both of these drugs get right is an ingredient that Katt Williams called “f* it”.

It is the idea that maybe you’re sweating the small stuff a bit too much and maybe you should just let the power bill go and light those candles that have been sitting around forever.

But the market won’t let a good-enough solution alone. The market will always demand something a little better, a little stronger, and before you know it, you’re hooked.
Eh, I will admit that I hoped for a little more after the effort I expended on this conversation. Sadly, you decided to not answer to any questions, but resorted to a.. lets call it a visual aid with little to no relevance to the conversation at hand ( which I will not comment on further ).

In short, I no longer believe you engaged in good faith discussion. Fare well.

That lady is dirt poor clinging onto the meagre rent of a very insignificant asset. I guarantee her entire life, including as a "landlord", has been certainly tougher than mine, but probably yours and 99% of the people on this forum. The landlord is "in her 80s", so born between '33 and '42. Consider:

- She was born into Japanese occupation and lived through WW2. Probably was malnourished growing up.

- Shes old enough to remember the Korean War and, almost assuredly had the front line go through her location (at one point only the city Busan held out). War is not good for young teenaged girls.

- After the war, she might have been one of the thousands of low income women that were prostituted off to the American army by the Korean state desperate for foreign capital to rebuild.

- She lived most her life under a pretty brutal dictatorship.

Korean women of her generation have lived through some of the most insane hardships. The toil of her generation built one of the richest export economies in the world while inheriting literally one of the most backwards and poor country ruled by dictators.

I think shes owed a small rental income to buy meds.
I'm not convinced that any of the things you mentioned as benefits of lazy evaluation are a necessary condition to getting those benefits.
If I remember right it happened without warning and reverted my key-only config when they added SIP in an update. I believe earlier updates never wiped out my change. It left me with an insecure setup that thankfully wasn't port-forwarded publicly.
That doesn't sound like any PBR I've ever heard of. Which design are you talking about?
Just PiS taking the piss.
Most of those seem gaming related (judging by the amount of RGB light and non-ergonomic chairs at least), while "Hacker Stations" seems focused on setups for work.
Which coincides with India, as the Mughal empire extended all over India.
You mentioned H-1Bs and I'm running with it.

H-1B visas should be given out using an auction system. The minimum salary for the position should be some percentage of resulting price.

I think this would go a long way to ensuring that companies use the program for what it was intended for and stop the abuses.
I don’t know…someone needs to do Real Tech Workstations of Orange County or something because all of these setups seem very clean and perfect. My desk is a mess which I’ll clean up when I have a moment or something like that.
If they could they would, but its highly impractical in a short enough period of time.

This is a long term solution that should have been worked towards years ago.

The same group presented a report asking for $1tn in 2019. They come up with this whenever they need a distraction or same angry voters.
Germany caused both world wars. Germany explicitly gave AH a blank cheque to invade Serbia, knowing that this would draw Russia and France into the war. They wanted a war with Russia then because they knew Russia was rearming.

That's all you need to steal someone's identity. Major reason why I never give any website my real birthday, and use a password manager to remember all the various "birthdays" I've been required to provide for no ostensible reason.

If we wanted to hammer out a quick and effective privacy legislation, it would be: you need a demonstrable reason to ask for someone's birthday (e.g., legal reason to validate you're old enough to open a bank account or whatever), not "i want to send a happy birthday newsletter every year (and also sell it in a package to data brokers)"
It's ugly and clunky because a) Jeff used to guard it fiercely, b) because a/b testing is not guaranteed to get the best results, and c) you might just be on the "ugly" a/b test.

I hear what you're saying but it's helpful to look at this with an additional layer of abstraction.

This is not just virtue-signaling in combat with edginess-signaling for their respective audience. It's more importantly a testament to prevailing sub-ideologies within portions of the population.

Edgy comments in tech forums like these are a signal of larger-scale class warfare (a loaded term, but bear with me). White collar techworkers think nothing of building skinner boxes and ad services all day as they are rewarded handsomely for it. In combination with all sorts of other factors, you end up with worsening social conditions across the board.

Some guy being nonchalant about dead Brazilian families and taking pleasure in signaling it is just a manifestation of overall societal nonchalance about rights and negative externalities among high-skilled workers and capital owners. These are real phenomenons that have consequences regardless of whether I myself might virtue signal about rejecting them.
This depends entirely on where you live. Sure in the Southwest, there's a big problem with drought. But along the Gulf Coast, the water table is astonishingly close to the surface. When my family put in an in-ground pool in Louisiana, they had to start filling the concrete pool with water even before finishing it because if they left it empty, the surrounding water table would push it up out of the ground like a floating boat.

I think the solution should be to be more self-aware, not to jam highly invasive technology into vehicles. I don't want my car to have any sense of my "alertness" at all, ever, I don't care if it keeps that data local, it should never ever be recording/monitoring it in the first place.

Or 2001 until 2101, if you're being pedantic about the Nth century AD/CE.

(Because there is no year 0 in the AD/CE calendar, so the first century in the calendar starts in year 1, the second in 101, etc...)
Agree completely. This is just a fun little anecdote.

I had a dell studio with a t9660 that was a pretty good machine way back in the day. But you should refer to the cpu by its model number rather than by its ghz performance, since nobody will be able to identify it from that.
There may be, but at least one BigCorp deploys Nix to a different prefix.
Photopea has been mentioned several times on HN. When this question was raised before, I think the answer was that the layout of Photoshop is not protected by copyright, thus the Photopea author is within his rights to use it as inspiration for his product.
My moto was a stop gap when I thought I lost my phone and had to replace it. Moto was already known to be a poor brand at the time. The only thing I missed from it was shake to turn on flashlight. For me, getting flagship phones after 1-2 years it's been out has been a great value. They last for 5+ years if you don't drop it.
I think what happened was we have reached enough media about transgender people that kids are starting to have an open conversation on what gender actually is and what it means to them. I think it's a good that people can dress and present however they want.

I am sure there is some small truth to victimhood complex. It seems most days someone is claiming to be a victim of something and they think because they can claim to be the victim they are in the right. It is a difficult conversation to have and I feel like it will only get worse as America becomes more polarized. It is interesting how we did/do have people like Freddie Mercury, Queen, David Bowie who bent the lines of gender and are seen as generational icons, but in the last 20 years I feel like they would not be able to do what they did.

Perhaps the country is being gripped further by religious extremists and there is more outrage to non-traditional views.
probably what happened, its a war afterall and they need to fire back due to sanctions.

They need the money, sure, but they also need europe to ease sanctions and this is their trump card.

Its been played, if it fails I doubt russia will be able to sustain the war by next spring.

If they don't cave by december either I assume they pull out or do something crazy like use small yield nukes.
should start small, like an open source Google, then work your way up to an open source Amazon.
Maybe? The commercial version has some extra features, but if you don't need them then there's probably no need to. I imagine there is more value in paying for a support contract.
Poland is in a row with the EU, that's why they are asking money IMHO. They have other kind of problems with Russia. Furthermore I think that they have little expectations about Russia paying reparations. They'll get laughs instead, at best.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I've just had a quick look at the blurb for each one, so could be wrong, but all of those seem to require manually building an index of titles / keywords/ etc which the scripts reference.

The site I'm working with has 600+ articles. So I was hoping for something that would automatically generate its own index by scanning the text contained in all those articles automatically.

Perhaps it's not possible in a non-database site.
I'd love the irony if they complain about the slower e-bike not moving over or maneuvering to the middle of the lane because "it's not safe to pass".
The French indemnity was $342B in 2011 dollars, according to Wikipedia. The Versailles reparations were formally $389B in 2011 dollars, but apparently the way the treaty was structured, only $147B were actually expected to be paid.

The difference was that the French paid promptly, and the Germans did not.

You are the one who has no facts, I'm afraid.

If someone says "all sheep are white" disproof comes from just one black sheep. So if we say "the establishment media covered up this story" you can disprove it with one, or preferably several references where it was covered fairly and prominently. But you can't, can you?
Yeah that was basically my experience. I took a few of them but nothing noticeable happened so I just didn't bother taking more. Funny enough that was also true when I tried a couple ADHD meds. Didn't feel a difference, not even withdrawal symptoms from going cold turkey after a few months.

Maybe I'm just weird...
Watched this a few times since it was released. Real talent and determination.

Sounds bad but I've recently put this on a couple of times as background video to fall asleep to as well. Work's like a charm!
Socialism seems to be working out far better for pretty much the entire EU.
> Many projects have build instructions that depend on downloading stuff in a complex manner that cannot be easily abstracted/shaped to what Nix expects.

The basic way to fix this with nix is:

1) download the thing with a fixed ouput derivation: a derivation who's source has the URL and checksum of the artifact

2) copy the artifact from the nix store where said build tool stores it

Would you have to remove the joints as well then? How are you meant to properly dispose of something like a knee or a hip?
I think they worked around the detonation problem by using massive concentrations of MTBE, methanol, and an organic manganese aromatic compound to keep corrosion at bay
Tom Brady is the most sacked player in history. He has twice the rushing yard than Peyton Manning. And Patriots generally runs a short pass offense, so he never gets a great O-Line. He consistently produces better result. I dislike Patriots but credit is where credit is due. Brady is just that good.

However, I do believe having a great coach for majority of his career helps a lot. Patriots plays in a weak division, has great defense, so Brady doesn’t have to come from behind a lot during regular seasons. That reduces a lot of big hits.
The first time you go to a city that has incredible public transportation you will have a very transformative experience. Go spend a month in Seoul or Taipei.

Cars are poison. They poison walk-ability, they poison commuting, they damage health from their exhaust, deprivation of walking, and crashes, they require attention to operate and thus literally steal your life hours. Cars require parking and parking spaces. Cars require wide roads which reduces density. Cars require surface level roads. Cars create traffic. Cars spit in the face of economies of scale.

When I lived in the center of a city, I could run my finger across my window seal and it would come up black from all the car exhaust that had settled on it. That is going into our lungs.

Structuring the operations of life around cars is insane.

Density is a policy choice.
Many binaries when compiled gets hardcoded paths compiled into them which are determined during configuration time. This means you cant use binary from a cache if the file hierarchy isnt identical. On linux this isnt a problem due to namespaces (feature originating from plan9).
Dunno why people are picking on apple here… what I have heard from people who worked at Intel is that apple is known in the industry for, I quote, “turning Intel’s training pipeline into a waiting room for apple HR”. After working at Intel for two weeks you are highly likely to get an offer from apple for twice your Intel salary and a lot of people take it.

Apple is basically known for paying far above market to retain the best talent, and apple silicon reflects that (or did during the last 10 years although supposedly there has been something of an exodus over the last few). Whereas it’s really Intel who is notorious for playing the “who can we get at 75% of the going market rate” game.
If all I need is to write 100 lines of code, framework will add friction while vanilla JS is perfectly fine.
It's a cognitive trick used to assign a label. All you need is a frame of mind, a professed sincere belief and it's done.

Most wars of aggression were sold as self defense.

Jonathan Swift even poked fun of this in the 1700s. It's a really old trick.

The problem is some people get extended the credulity of self defense and others aren't.

Could I declare self defense against a police officer?

Why not?

Aren't they just another human susceptible to the same emotions and aggressions?

They are always given the benefit, a priori, regardless of circumstances, carte blanche, every time. Even in a mere theoretical framing, police are immediately assigned the "self defense" role. It could be over the death of a child playing in the front yard or a family dog, doesn't manner, apparently justified self defense every time.

That's exactly this dynamic at play again. It gets used in the writings of gruesome mass shooters. They were forced to kill all those people to defend some amorphous idea, the country or the race or some thing.

Self defense is a valid physical construct but it's what everyone claims. Do you expect someone to twirl their mustache, furl their cape, guffaw in laughter and snark on how much of an evildoer they are?

Everyone wants to think they were in the right. It's almost as if the theoretical is immaterial.

Let's take the horrible crime of rape for example. Some teenagers are quite a bit larger than adults and we can theoretically imagine a child offending an adult but we've decided that's so unusual that we defined a presumed relationship (of the child being the victim).

This is completely reasonable because the conceit of agreeing with the mental exercise doesn't dissuade us from the historical and practiced reality of sexual crime against children being so dominant that it's presumed unless extraordinary evidence is presented otherwise. I'm sure a quick Google search will reveal these unusual exceptions because it's a "man bites dog" kind of story for journalists. The fact they can be itemized as individual stories instead of presented as a statistic is evidence of its rarity.

Self defense might be similar. Perhaps the relationship is mostly aggression and antagonism. There's an occasional zebra of a true self defense where someone jumps out of the inky shadows to subdue an innocent damsel but perhaps we need to set the bar in the court of public opinion far higher (in the legal court I believe it's already quite a gambit but IANAL)

Nissan ran a very successful car manufacturing facility for many years in the U.K. This kind of cultural adaptation is exactly how they did it. And it turns out that Geordies were more than capable of executing “The Nissan Way”.
Its impossible - imagine the basement is the hold of a ship with holes below the water line the size of doors. You'd need a jet to pump the required water.

The only technical "solution" would be to build a barrier higher than the flood waters around the apartments, but thats not going to happen.
Sophistry. As I said elsewhere: you need to prove that it wasn't covered up, by pointing out the actual coverage. I believe it should all be on the Internet.

I followed r/MechanicalKeyboard for a while, but I get the same weird sense. There are cool posts of people building their own boards, caps, etc. But there are tons of posts from people who have probably spent 5 or 6 figures on their collections. It's a strange and very specific addiction.
I’ve owned a laptop since I was remarkably young mostly for typing documents on initially.

Yes older laptops can do an okay job, but they’re heavy, bulky, have low battery life, and dim low-ppi screens. Something like a 1080p Chromebook even with Linux installed is not that expensive and a nice experience. I’ve seen some people who will retrofit the old shells with modern components, I can see the appeal in these, but honestly these old computers really aren’t that good at just typing. There’s something to be said about the waste of the extra cells of batteries you will burn though lol.

I appreciate the environmental concern but I want to be real bout this aspect, because I HAD to use these computers for the purposes the author talks about. I have two of these old thinkpads that people rave about, both have fallen into disrepair and I keep one body around because I’m sure some modder will eventually be interested.

Old computers also have LOTS of issues with things like video playback.
> That's all you need to steal someone's identity

I wish we could stop propagating the idea that it's possible to "steal someone's identity". No, you cannot take my identity from me, I am who I am, you are who you are.

What you can do however, with those details, is tricking companies and committing fraud. But it should not be up to me to make sure companies are not being defrauded, the burden is on them to prevent that.

Name, contact information and date of birth are so basic level of information, that if you can commit fraud with just those details, something is seriously wrong as the company you're performing the fraud against.

Some countries even have those details publicly for you to find via public websites. So again, if that's all it takes, the company is doing something seriously wrong.
The iconic “yes we do have a security department” doublespeak.
In America the majority raises very formidable barriers to the liberty of opinion: within these barriers an author may write whatever he pleases, but he will repent it if he ever step beyond them. Not that he is exposed to the terrors of an auto-da-fe, but he is tormented by the slights and persecutions of daily obloquy. His political career is closed forever, since he has offended the only authority which is able to promote his success. Every sort of compensation, even that of celebrity, is refused to him. Before he published his opinions he imagined that he held them in common with many others; but no sooner has he declared them openly than he is loudly censured by his overbearing opponents, whilst those who think without having the courage to speak, like him, abandon him in silence. He yields at length, oppressed by the daily efforts he has been making, and he subsides into silence, as if he was tormented by remorse for having spoken the truth.

-- De Tocqueville, Democracy in America, published in 1835.
You manifestly don't care what the destination of an exception is. Aggressively so.

The only choice to make is: here, or not here. If here is at a high enough level to do something intelligent about it, catch it. If not, it is not your problem: there is nothing to be done, so you do that.

Generally, a good program will have very few places where exceptions are caught, and the code there is easily exercised and well tested. The destructors that run on the way there are also well exercised because they run with or without exceptions. Beware code that only ever runs in exceptional cases. It grows bugs when what was correct becomes wrong as the code changes around it.
