Good, it's been a while I wanted to get my hand on someone who actually want to buy such big cars. What is it with the trend for huge cars? Why do people have to negate EVs energy efficiency story pushing around much more weight than (what to used to be) a normal sized car. Haven't you heard of climate change? At least buy an Aptera for chrissake. Well anyways, we're doomed of we keep on the car lifestyle.

El Salvador isn't exactly a friendly neighborhood to visit at the moment, but, it sets a precedent and that is important for the Bitcoin and wider crypto community.

The main issue, is lack of education of the public in how to use crypto and the government wallet, which is against the spirit of uncensorable crypto transactions.
People just don't know that MDMA has been shown in careful research studies to cure PTSD in severe treatment-resistant cases.
It's a really bad filter, too. I used to get written up a lot (and punished/beaten at home) for drawing in class. If my characters had so much as a 1-inch knife on their heel, I was being hauled into the office for the latest round of Is-This-The-Next-Columbine, told I was drawing evil things. This happened incessantly throughout grade school.

My guardians and schools formed an ad-hoc surveillance network where they all made sure I was never drawing Bad Things, and that I was always Adequately Punished. The insanely ironic thing is that I was unequivocally the first person who would have put their life in danger to protect the lives of their peers. Because of my upbringing I have a compulsion to protect others at my expense and would never dream of aiming a firearm at someone who wasn't an immediate threat to my safety. But while white supremacists around me were sharpening their views on the playground, I was the easy target.

I obviously didn't pursue a career in art and still struggle with personal identity and creativity because of this.
I'm Canadian but lived in the US for several years.

One takeaway from my time in the US is they really need to address its "lobbying" rules. We have a bit of a lobbying problem here, but no where near the level we see to the south.

When you do crazy things like rule that corporations are "natural people" when clearly they are not..

I have no clue how to fix this, but Lobbying is really bad which is why it is tightly controlled in most other countries.
Usually what happens is landlord offers the underwater tenant a cash payment to get them to agree to move out. Ends up cheaper than going through the courts.

This is just supply and demand though, rents will hopefully be on the way down as a result of this.
The FLARE team's open-source extension to add Python 3 scripting to Ghidra
Ah, re-reading, it sounds like these are all from one vendor that's known by two names..."Microsemi" and "Symmetricom" (acquisition, etc). So perhaps that risk is low.
Yes, SI base, for example second, not powers of tens of it, but we just call it SI. For linear positions no suffix means meters (x, y, z, etc.), same vx is in m/s etc.

Autocomplete is nice but in my IDE it requires hitting ctrl+space and then you might have a choice to make.
I also do this (flow on my own mini projects) a few times a year it seems.

I think it’s easy to idealize it, but likely those times are enabled by cultivation of your thought during all the other times at work, and there’s a selection bias of I know that you can accomplish it in that time. Basically it’s a well defined task already specc’d out (or defined bounds or a path forward) in your mind ahead of time. This is just as important to flow as removing distractions.
Oneway.tel: two-factor auth phone numbers for side-projects and small orgs

Anyway I hope some of you in similar situations might find it useful. Let me know if you have feedback or comments here or via email to hello@oneway.tel

I don't think I said Amazon is, or isn't, reading customer data. Nobody knows.

As an EU citizen, I just prefer my data to be handed by an European company inside an European country, as I wouldn't want my data to be in China, handed by Baidu, if I was an American citizen.
I've spent most of the last decade working in fraud risk management and I love the message that this article conveys. It's great to see someone saying the exact thing I've innately understood but couldn't put into words :)

This is something I now ask when I try out for jobs in Fraud teams. If my hiring manager expects me to bring fraud down to zero, I immediately know that this work relationship may not work because we would be on completely different pages on how some fraud losses are the necessary cost of running a business.

It's called "Global Positioning System" not "Global Time System".

Granted, it's a pretty accurate time system in the sense that it needs to know the time to an accuracy determined by the speed of light crossing the globe: that's how it knows where you are, that's its job.

Day, weeks, months, years... feh! In 7 minutes the Earth transits its own [edit] diameter; in 4 hours, the distance to the moon; in a year it's (roughly) back where it started.

Great hack, but maybe you ought to know what year it is if it matters to you. No way to figure that out? No clock available which is accurate enough?

Sometimes you're limited to local work. I contracted for a while, a few times when I got US based gigs, they'd raise my rate to what's acceptable for them, which was often way more than my local rate.

If I tried to use that rate locally, I'd likely not get much work.

A good analogy was from a real estate agent recently. She had 2 apartments of same size in a complex, one had been vacant for 2 months, and one had just become available.

She said that the owner of the vacant one wasn't willing to lower their rent, and every month that the apartment remains vacant is an 8% loss to their short-term annual rental.

The one that had become recently avaiable got a tenant in days, because even though it's better, its owner offered the same as the first vacant one.

So I'd often consider time to next gig and take shorter term jobs at low rates so I'm not idle.
Orwell was a generation ahead of Foucault, but he lived through many of the same events. Unlike Foucault, he drew the correct conclusions about them. His work will still be read when Foucault is just a footnote.
There was a popular HN article a few days ago that claimed EVs had a drivetrain with 100% efficiency. My replies showing that was absurd were not well received :-)

The article turned out to be written by a ski instructor. I emailed her with the math errors in her article, but received no reply.

My conclusion is there's a lot of wishful thinking around EVs, although I agree that eventually EVs will be most of the market.
Interesting that the two in my garage seem quite real and manage to transport us quite effectively. My brother-in-law with the PhD in physics hasn't yet proven anything wrong with the thermodynamics.

There's a 3rd option. Allow fma, but only where the programmer explicitly puts an `fma` (or specifically allows reordering). This does sacrifice a little bit of ease of use to get optimal performance, but allows for reproducibility and high performance.

It is a shame x87 was so poorly thought out. If it had a better defined programming model, it would be incredibly useful.
That’s like saying glyphosate and glyphosate resistant crops don’t prevent farming.

Technically true, but the crops are now non-vegan (all glyphosate formulations contain animal tallow), have less key amino acids (glyphosate inhibits metabolic pathways preventing them from forming), and are intellectual property of a megacorporation which has altered the genome of the plants to make them infertile, essentially forcing farmers to buy new plants for each growing season instead of using the seed from the previous season.
Intel famously has had problems retaining and hiring highly qualified people.
Not commenting on Severus specifically, I’ve noticed that it seems really common in modern times for some reason for people to believe “white” means European, even though “white” people lived indigenously throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia - including people with blue eyes or red/blonde hair.

Similarly, “African” is for some reason taken to exclusively mean “sub-Saharan” even though as you note most people would not identify most North African ethnic groups as black.
wasn’t the contention, but nice attempt to change the subject. Your argument was instead that American mass destruction of a city is somehow meaningful different from others, which is demonstrably untrue across so many conflicts it makes the head spin.
I never said that. You’re stuck on whatever you think that you’re missing the forest for the trees.

If companies are virtual people can band together and seek collective action, so should actual people. Governance of unions, professional associations, etc are another, irrelevant matter.
God I fucking hate the response "learn to code!" to everything.

People seem to think everyone being a programmer is needed otherwise humanity will fall. Honestly it is one of the stupidest things I have heard.

Could more [good] programmers be a good thing? Sure, we can always do with more good programmers.

However the truth is we need more of many, many types of people. Teachers, personal care workers, doctors, nurses, etc.

Not everyone wants to be a programming. Not everyone can be a programmer.

Can I teach anyone to write Hello World or a simple number game in Python? Of course, same way I can teacher anyone to track their budget in a basic Excel file.

But I can't take anyone and teach them Excel to be a spreadsheet wizard for the finance department. Believe me I know this from first hand experience :)

What we need is an open, fair and free education system to encourage people of [almost] all ages to do what they are good at and enjoy. We put far too much positive spin on learning to code as if it is the answer to every god damn problem in the world.
Move out to where?
Agreed.

And well, if everyone played the game, then the population at large would still be better off taking the million. I can well imagine there being fewer social problems if we all get a million fun bucks versus half of us getting fifty million. But then that's a different effect kicking in.

Personally, a million would affect my life positively (I'd buy a house), 50 million negatively (I'd stop working).
The Valve Index does 1440×1600 per eye and it probably needs to be at least double that before artifacts become hard to notice.
I assume this means the SRBs need to be disassembled to replace the sealing between the segments seeing as how these were stacked beginning in January 2021 [1] and the sealing is guaranteed for 12 months. This has already been extended for 7-8 months but if the launch is to be postponed until October or later they're coming up to 2 years:

The joints connecting each piece of Space Launch System’s five-segment rocket motors are certified for one year once booster stacking begins, a clock that began ticking Jan. 7 with the hoisting of the SLS’s left-hand aft center booster segment on top of the booster’s lowermost piece.

But the 12-month certification limit, a holdover from the space shuttle program, could be extended with an engineering review, according to John Honeycutt, NASA’s Space Launch System program manager at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

Honeycutt said in January engineers planned to make measurements and collect data as ground teams stacked each segment of the Artemis 1 boosters inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. The data could help NASA and Northrop Grumman extend the certification of the rocket motor joints beyond 12 months.

“That gives us the best opportunity to do some sort of a life extension on the booster stacking in the event that we need that,” Honeycutt said.

Prepayment penalties are rare outside of subprime/pay-and-go loans. When I worked at Ford Credit the max dealer markup on financing was 2%, and the dealer got their commission on the rate markup up front. Taking a crappy interest rate and prepaying is a sound negotiation tactic because it is the financing company that takes the hit.
If there's multiple players with these buttons the optimal strategy is to pool your resources and distribute the winnings evenly.

Your sarcasm failed because the corporations literally did band together in anti-union activities and used their disproportionate power to attach workers. This was a case of your metaphor backfiring on your point.

Unions may or may not have bankrupted companies, but did they ever engage in the same level of violence, physical intimidation, or criminal behavior as these union busting alliances?

Thank you! Surely there is a Welsh writer of science fiction or fantasy that can make good use of this knowledge ...
Their business models can afford to pay a lot because these companies generate that much cash. They drive that much cash because software can be highly leveraged (whereas plumbing cannot). Having salaries come down to means shifting where the profits are distributed and allowing the company owners and investors to capture more in comparison to the employees. I don't see how this is better?
> - CI/CD script uses Kotlin DSL, feels "heavy".

But hopefully the IDE completion is second to none? My experience with editing .gitlab-ci.yml is that different versions support different features/structures, but GL didn't annotate their file with any such version specifier making it hard on the tooling. I haven't used Space in anger in order to know what that editing experience is like, but I have used the Kotlin version of gradle and it's night and day different having actual, you know, types for things

As much as I detest Jenkins, the one thing I thought it did well with Jenkinsfile was the ability to declare shared modules (GL offers this too with "includes:" but it can be some mindfuck trying to reason about the hierarchy, extends, and now !reference usage to get composition correct). I hope Space has something similar if they're going down that (literal) pipeline-as-code route

For Rings of Power, I think the show itself is very confused on who the "actual audience" is. They tried to go after each segment, but the writers lacked the kind of skill and finesse needed to actually perform that miracle. (Which is possible, just really, really difficult.)

Every casual viewer I've spoken to is very meh on the show.
I’m not going to debate the difficulty but looking at the median and mean salary for both, it’s certainly not more valuable in a monetary sense.
> median income, France and USA don't seem far apart 16K vs 19K

After taxes and healthcare, adjusting for instability, the median European worker is better off. The top-performing American, on the other hand, is far better off than their European counterpart*. This is the design. Immigration + better life for the ambitious at the cost of a worse life for the median. It’s a recipe for brain drain and it works, though we must be honest at what cost.

Call it like you want. I meant that it’s a TV show with a production budget of 60 millions dollars an episode without counting the rights purchase. It can’t really be compared to a traditional show.

This season is going to cost twice as much as the original three movies. That’s completely insane.
Given my current financial situation, 1 million would let me retire immediately. What I see when I look at those buttons are: 100% chance of being able to retire early vs 50% chance of being able to retire early.

That given the 10-bit limitation, some devices chose their own epoch date to get as much use of the 10-bits as possible. Meaning they chose some arbitrary date earlier than the device manufacture date.

> Is there some role at a FAANG where generalists would thrive?

No, generalists typically get pigeonholed into being specialists, and typically not the field they were the strongest.

For example I'm stronger in backend/devops than frontend, but because I do most of my work in Node.js, more specifically Next.js I'm always billed as a frontend dev, so typical companies just want me to do one thing.

Contracts like generalization because I cover more surface area with relatively smaller costs than paying $150k+ for each role I can do.
I cannot tell you the amount of "shut up and take my money" if they'd wire IJ analysis into Space, because while they've been trying to ship Qodana for a while, holy hell it's executed poorly. With Space, how can they _not_ have the expertise to have a checkbox that says "run our inspections upon this code" without having to have a PhD in both CI and IJ
That seemed to be a historical reference however, for whatever that’s worth.
I studied math and physics, not CS, but the situation is probably similar. I think the best, if not only realistic way to retain what I will call "theoretical" knowledge is to be genuinely interested in those things, possibly to the detriment of the most rapid possible career advancement.

The other thing is that it's normal. As systems get more complicated, the number of interactions between N elements grows as O(N*2). Thus, most "engineers" spend the bulk of their time organizing and arranging things, fitting things together, troubleshooting, dealing with vendors, etc. In some fields, manually operating tools such as CAD becomes more efficient than understanding the algorithms programmed into the tools. This is basically human powered information processing. The work needed to make the things that are fit together, such as algorithms, falls to a small fraction of the workforce, who are not necessarily the most highly rewarded, as their work is not so visible.

There's a pretty strong upward trend and very low vacancy rates. This will obviously create some vacancy, but I think we're talking about some of the upward pressure being removed, but not necessarily rents falling.
