and why is the rent so high? because land costs are too high (this can be addressed, simply open up more land to be developed until the price drops to near zero). as for building costs? these can come down too, with the right regulations/ and lack thereof, we can make it legal for lower cost options to arise.

I always take these "If you don't pass this litmus test, then you aren't an XXX," or "Only an XXX will pass this litmus test" articles with a grain of salt.

In my experience, the litmus test is frequently one that the author of the article can easily pass, which makes them an XXX, by default, and the article is really just about how awesome XXXs are, or the author assumes they have the authority to bestow the mantle of XXX unto others.

The word "senior" means "Has more responsibility/experience." That's about it. It can mean "Manages/directs others," but doesn't have to be that. It can mean "Is an architect," but that doesn't mean they are.

I have watched senior blacksmiths at work (awesome, BTW), and they got their hands dirty, and their aprons spotty, just like their juniors.

I was a "Senior Manager," but was only a first-line manager. The title was really just there, so I could have an office, and the folks in Japan would take me slightly more seriously. Banks can have hundreds of "Vice Presidents," that work in cubicles, and don't have any direct reports. It's really just a title.

I'm definitely a "senior engineer," these days, and I architect stuff, but I don't manage or direct others, and the scope of what I do, is smaller, because, every time I count myself, it comes up "1."

It's really up to each organization to define "senior," and to set up a professional environment that implements their definition.

Litmus tests are fine, I guess. I fail them all deliberately, because I'm an ornery sumbich. I won't join any club that would have me as a member.
Maybe? Good luck charging one of those in an apartment building
Open source or not, you still have your local fork of the repo, and that's where the squash ought to be happening.
Looked into this a bit. S-Max is a hybrid minivan, so gas mileage won't compare with Forester, but otherwise, they seem oddly identical.

S-Max vs. Forester
Curb weight: 3626 lbs vs. 3620
Mileage: 44 mpg vs. 30 mpg
Cargo: 77.69 cubic feet vs. 74.2 cubic feet

So about 6 pounds heavier and 4 cubic feet more space than the Forester. It would be interesting if we had a hybrid Forester to compare with, but that doesn't seem to exist (yet).

Also looked into U.S. vans being gas guzzlers. A comparable vehicle in the U.S. is the Toyota Sienna, since it's a hybrid minivan. It's 4700 pounds, gets 36 mpg (vs. 44 for S-Max), but has 101 cubic feet of cargo space, which is 1/3 more than the S-Max. Seems to correlate well with weight, which makes sense.

Based on this, my (current) take is that mid-size SUVs in the U.S. are equivalent to these smaller minivans elsewhere, and U.S. minivans are a bit larger and heavier than that.

re: dynamism/late-binding; it was seen as very exciting at the time. At least to me.

Maybe under the influence of Self and Smalltalk, which were doing interesting things with object behaviour composition using delegation and slots and all sorts of late-bound magic.

It definitely let people experiment. In JavaScript especially a thousand (inelegant) flowers bloomed and then some practices were codified into later revisions of the language and the door shut on that kind of experimentation.

I'm a big fan of static type systems generally. But I do think dynamic scripting languages have their place. In particular as prototyping/scripting languages embedded in larger more robust runtimes. e.g. the original goal of JavaScript (which has now become a full blown application development language).

AutoCAD had/has its lisp dialect. Emacs its own (ok it's more than just embedded scripting in that case). Many FPGA and HW eng tools use Tcl. Various games have Lua etc etc. This is a useful pattern potentially.
Been running it since Public Beta 1. Now running the release build. It is fine.

> the idea that every term should be crystalized down to a single unambiguous meaning is, ironically, quintessentially Orwellian.

Sure, but no one is advocating for a single unambiguous meaning of the term, the parent seems to be noting that concern should be paid when a word/phrase develops an opposite (or at least very contradictory) meaning, presumably in the context of a charged political environment. You may not believe that's what's happening here, which is fine, but that doesn't imply an argument in favor of singular meanings.
This is the true answer, everyone uses them and that battle has been lost years and years ago.

The effort should be fought in adding a newer way of doing HTML email that is better, and finally kill that damn IE 6-based renderer used by Outlook. Curse that thing.
Well, academic philosophy is a rather sophomoric discipline. The non-sophomoric parts of it have long since moved to other departments - PG even has an essay about this http://www.paulgraham.com/philosophy.html
Turing machines were invented to demonstrate the limits of computation. QM is fully described by math, hence computable. Not sure what point you are making?
I'd be less sanguine about the potential reduction in death. It'd be interesting to see the stats in terms of distance from home to freeway, and freeway to destination and get the change in commute time compared to deaths occurring between those segments.

If you live 10m from a freeway, then at 35mph just over 15m is ok. At 5mph 2 hours seems less than acceptable. I can be math-dumb, so it wouldn't be surprising if I'm way off.

(10/35)*60 = 17
(10/5)*60 = 120

Even at just 2m away the difference in commute is substantial.

(2/35)*60 = 3.4
(2/5)*60 = 24.0
I recall watching a program on KQED many, many years ago about the mall. This one was focusing on the Metreon. It's premise was that that malls needed to be mini-vacations and what we are witnessing is a change in what people want from a vacation.

There was a time when going to the Metreon was a mini vacation. I recall a Discovery store on the first floor, Sony and Microsoft, the Airtight garage with games that you'd never find at the arcade, a "how things work" store where I got a tensirigitoy, Expandagon Construction System, and other cube things that still find their way into the back of my video calls. There was that kids area at the top which I believe I would have loved if I was in the mid single digits.

But things changed and the vacation feel left. I recall the last time I was there there was a pop up store where the discovery store was and the comic book store that was in the place of the how things work store was struggling. Sony and Microsoft had their spat.

The other examples they had were of big outdoor gear stores - Bass Pro Shop or similar with in in store aquarium or the REI store with rock climbing.

Going to a bunch of stores that are under the same roof and scraping by with a flea market like atmosphere isn't the type of thing that I enjoy as a vacation. I'm sure some do, but that's not what I'm after.

At one time, the malls were something that just having Aladin's arcade, KB Toys, a hobby shop (that had model rockets and plastic models), a small book store, a few restaurants with better than acceptable food (but not a food court), Spencer's (with those weird posters that had a different image under a black light in the back)... that was enough of a vacation for a pre-teen or teenager and a place you asked to go.
I actually like solving other people’s problems because even if I fail to solve them they’re still other people’s problems. :-D

I find distributing knowledge just as important as using it. Help others help themselves. It’s not for everyone! But if you enjoy it, you should consider going that way, even if you still enjoy coding. Or maybe not “even if” but “because”. If you stop coding, you’ll quickly get out of touch.

I (also) code in my free time. The most interesting technologies I learn when I’m not coding for work.
1) Those are major banks. Many thousands of people have accounts with them for 100% legitimate purposes, and most of them have likely not heard that they were involved in money laundering (which, see also #2)

2) Because those are major, highly entrenched banks, they not only have the resources to ensure that stories about them engaging in bad behavior get swept under the rug (which doesn't mean "no coverage", but does mean they don't get covered as much as they might perhaps deserve), they also have the connections to make it very unlikely that they will face any kind of meaningful repercussions for this.

This is quite unfortunate, and a decidedly negative aspect of our current system. But the answer to it is not "so other companies like TornadoCash should be allowed to break the law with impunity, too!" It's "so we need to find ways to change our system so that we can genuinely hold accountable big banks and others who currently break the law with impunity."
Has anyone else found large indoor spaces just feel kind of artificial? I always got a weird vibe from malls. I’m not sure how to explain it.
At least under US law, intent is still required. Meaning that while some users of TC may have violated this law, the devs did not, nor did they knowingly aid in it or have any provable intent to do so.

I don't know what Dutch law says with regard to intent/knowing participation, but I suspect that any system of laws in a civilized country would generally require it for criminal convictions.
Ah, technically correct!

I was thinking from an investment perspective. Investment across both can be synergistic, so in the end both systems work better.
The Russian government sent FSB agents to kill dissidents in the UK.

They kill people wherever they want to kill people, and it's entirely reasonable to be afraid even if you don't live in Russia.
> Do we want to live in a world where you have less opportunity because of characteristics you were born with?

You mean like making it harder to get into limited college slots (requiring higher scores, etc) based on your race? You're right, that seems awful.
Modularization inherently requires much more space than integrated components. So you either need to have a much larger chassis to support the same number of components, or you need to have fewer components for a similar sized chassis.
In 2018 The Atlantic explained this phenomenon, what the utility is, and correctly posited that it would not likely go away. TLDR; Status games and intra-elite jockeying among the overproduced elite.

"Think about what it takes to claw your way into America’s elite strata. Unless you were born into the upper-middle class, your surest route is to pursue an elite education. To do that, it pays to be exquisitely sensitive to the beliefs and prejudices of the people who hold the power to grant you access to the social and cultural capital you badly want. By setting the standards for what counts as praiseworthy, elite universities have a powerful effect on youthful go-getters."

"As the senior assistant director of admissions at Yale recently observed, “for those students who come to Yale, we expect them to be versed in issues of social justice. We encourage them to be vocal when they see an opportunity for change in our institution and in the world.” Picture yourself as an eager high schooler reading these words, and then jotting down notes. You absorb, assuming you hadn’t already, what it takes to make your way in contemporary elite America. And as you grow older, you lean into the rhetorical gambits that served you so well in the past. You might even build a worldview out of them."

> making this a tough battle.

well, they have some strong arguments.

In my Country cars are worth 77 billion euros in taxes every year.

If my country was a free market utopia like US, people would be screaming that they paid for those roads and it's their right to use them exclusively.

Bikes aren't worth that much, unfortunately.
Is this a "call-and-response" AI writing assistant? Or most just to structure a story you write yourself? I went digging on their website but couldn't find the answer.

Oh, this blog post is sure advocating for a single unambiguous meaning of the term "diversity"; the whole argument falls apart without that definition.

You mentioned that since WFH ended, the team shrunk due to resignations from 8 to 2. Is the total team workload similar to before?

If so she's doing what 4 people were doing before and that explains most of the increased time to complete work. A few office interruptions and a tiring commute will easily push that past 5pm. I hope it doesn't get worse for her before the vesting.
I saw one in the wild for the first time the the other day on an airplane. It looked pretty snazzy (though I prefer my Thinkpad...). Wonder how many they sold... probably not that many if this is my first sighting.
It might be worth understanding how Stalin removed capitalism from the USSR and how that turned out. Then look at China, which is also communist, and has had issues with unlimited, and now trying to limit, income potential. Hopefully you can answer your own question after studying the history a bit.
Industrialization has shown to decrease happiness and create more stress and health issues. The United States is huge, with the average farm size being approximately 444 acres. Rather than further condense society into cages while the entitled own the vast amount of resources, why not further distribute society into actual green communities that don't require massive cement structures everywhere and instead promote self-sustaining communities that provide actual practical and fair values.
Yeah, I remember looking at C++ sometime in the 80s. If memory does not evade me I think it was preprocessor back then.
I can see potential problems with temporary signs, such as those put up for road works, around accidents or for police enforcement.
Many more cores yes, but 100% CPU usage should still be rare. If your game uses 100% of a 24C/32T processor, it will run poorly on a "mere" 8-core CPU, and most of your target audience won't be able to play it. You're right though, these aren't your grandma's single-threaded games anymore.
Well I have no desire to turn this into an abortion debate, but it certainly concerns me how easy it is in a country like the US for governments to criminalise women's personal health decisions. But mainly it is a reminder that there likely will always be legitimate reasons to hide your activities from authorities in certain cases.
No? But that might be because I don't need the same options as you do. I however do like the dual HDMI, USB-C, and the extra storage I added to my framework and since your Thinkpad only has 1 HDMI output I think that's rather odd. It's 2mm thicker how do you handle the lack of a second HDMI port?

Do you consider any instance of taking pride in your country - including small remarks pointing out trivial coincidences - as nationalism? Do you disagree with any example of recognizing the existence of a nation-state and it's relationship to individuals?

I tried to phrase these questions without snark, but your comment genuinely surprised and confused me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I do see how OP's comment is a bit nonsensical in light of the author's Swedish origins, but I don't think this justifies your invocation of a term with such negative connotations.
In the USA, for a significant part of the year, chances are you have to add the electricity costs of running your airconditioning to get rid of that heat.

If you’re living in a colder state, you may have to subtract the costs of having lower heating costs.
My brother had this opportunity in a public elementary school. "Mrs. F" was the teacher for the same group of students for 2 or 3 consecutive years. It was very much an experiment, but by all accounts it was a success.

I recognize that this is just an anecdote, and there is the potential to get stuck with a bad teacher as other commenters have pointed out, but at least in his case, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I wish that I'd had the same opportunity.

The class formed an especially close bond with each other and the teacher, and that led to some really unique extracurricular activities. At that age, parents are often still very involved in their children's education, and Mrs. F was able to form relationships with the parents as well, allowing the class and their families to go on special weekend camping trips, visit museums, participate in science competitions, among other things.

Years later, many of them still keep in touch, and I think just about everyone involved went on to higher education, many at very prestigious schools.
Sure, but now we're just discussing the meaning of the word "enforce". Perhaps I've just chosen an inappropriate word for the meaning I wanted to convey.
We keep an eye on the protobuf repo, so if a change is made we can both incorporate it into our products (https://buf.build) and into this spec.

A great outcome for the ecosystem would be that Google chooses to engage with the community before making language changes. And the best possible outcome would be that the authority is eventually inverted: a specification doc becomes the definitive source of truth on the language and `protoc` is updated to conform to it, instead of vice versa.
Microsoft launches new tool to make elections more accessible
Ok, I tried today with my Lego Creative Box that contains ~ 500 original lego bricks (https://b.scdn.gr/images/sku_main_images/005974/5974521/2020...)... Well the results are more or less the same as with my lego clone box. Although it offered me more ideas (~100) I could only do a bunch of them and these with random colors (not the colors it proposed).

I think that the image detection algorith is not working that good; however there is a very simple solution to that: Allow me to enter the IDs of the sets I own (for example the one I mention is the 10696: https://www.lego.com/en-gr/themes/classic/building-instructi...). Get the bricks my sets have contains , for example, for my set https://brickset.com/inventories/10696-1.

Then it should be easy... No computer vision needed :)
I love fangless manifestos like this, because they're usually right, and there's nothing better than a quixotic crusade. Here's the hill I'll die on: email works best when it's like a long-form SMS message.

As for the folks who go on about branded marketing emails… gawd, it's like hearing someone say "actually I wish I got more, better junk mail"

It's a pity that something like Markdown didn't exist back in the nineties. If we could just have had some really basic formatting options (bold, italics, and a couple images are not unreasonable requests), the whole scourge of HTML email might have been sidestepped.
(B)(ii) does not require specific intent. It requires knowledge that the transaction fails to meet reporting requirements.

The intent in question is manifested in Tornado Cash's design, which doesn't pass the malfeasance smell test: you can't absolve yourself of illegality by automating the illegality.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been waiting for years for such tool. Is it Friday yet?
This is entirely the wrong attitude to have here - _everyone_ is the target audience for the laptop. Fixing it yourself is the option that you have _down the road_ once your laptop has had use, not as a replacement for quality control!
It sounds very odd to ask about these kind of things during employment. How often do for example LGBT persons provide this kind information in their job application and is it even legal to ask it?

And on the other hand, is there anything that prevents you pretending to be a member of some minority? For example, if you can get more easily employed by saying that you are bisexual, is there anything that would prevent you lying? If there isn't, why even bother asking about these kind of things.
That's essentially the Peter principle. Skilled people being promoted to a role they are not skilled at.
