While what you are saying is historically true, the internet has made the car salesman role pretty much irrelevant. I expect the job (and dealerships themselves) won't exist a decade or two from now. There are enough pictures, videos, spec sheets, expert reviews and forum discussions available online that the word of a sleazy salesman is worth nothing. More and more customers today walk into dealerships only because they have to by law, but know exactly what they want and what price they are willing to pay.

I haven't experienced it as badly as the author. But I find the cloudflare page checking that I am using a "secure browser" very frustrating. I seem to get it the most for gitlab pages for some reason.
The structured data on sites, unfortunately, still requires a crawler to index that content, which serves as a barrier for search engine startups. At a minimum, adding some metadata content to XML sitemaps would go a long way to solving some of this problem (title, meta description, content summary, even structured data to the sitemaps).

In those cases charge it back. Print out the marketing material you based your decision on and charge the store back. Make it clear that you're returning it over it not being as described not over being unhappy with it. Often you'll win.

They love hiding things and then calling "productivity." The system tray is one that has always historically annoyed me.. randomly hiding users icons inside of a menu that you have to know exists before you go to use it. Talking people through that on the phone was always a nightmare.

There's a lot of information... Strong Towns wrote several articles and a book on this, then this youtube channel tried to summarize the important findings into a 7 part series.

The gist is this:

- US-style car-centric design has created cities filled with parking lots, wide roads, sprawling low-density development, and as a result also sprawling water/sewage infrastructure

- High-density downtown neighborhoods produce much more revenue per acre than low-density car-centric neighborhoods. The higher revenue is more than sufficient to fund yearly maintenance as well as pay off the replacement cost of infrastructure (whereas the low-density, low revenue areas can't fund the replacement cost so need to be subsidized by downtown)

- New neighborhoods enjoy their federally-subsidized new infrastructure as they don't need to concern themselves with replacement cost for decades.

- But when it comes time to replace the infrastructure, these low-density areas cannot fund the replacement (e.g. Backus, Minnesota has very low density and sprawling sewage infrastructure; replacement cost would be $27k per resident, which is greater than their average income). So they go into debt

- The piling debt is obviously unsustainable. e.g. Tampa, Florida needs $3.2bn to replace its water infrastructure. It already spends more money each year to service the debt it has borrowed for its water infrastructure than it spends on actually maintaining it.

- Some cities are lucky - they have a growing population so can kick the problem down the road by using new tax revenue from new developments (remember, yearly maintenance cost of new infrastructure is very low, so new developments are net tax positive as long as you pretend like you never have to replace the infrastructure). This is the growth ponzi scheme.

tl;dr Only high density downtown areas are able to simultaneously fund their infrastructure maintenance cost as well as the replacement cost over decades; lower density areas outside downtown depend on downtown's excess tax revenue to fund their replacement cost. But some cities just depend on ever-growing urban sprawl to use the new tax revenue to fund their growing debt and aging infrastructure

These are all high-level ideas and conclusions, which is why Strong Towns' publications are so important. They investigate tons of actual cities and towns across America and show you actual numbers.
I am being regularly asked by my healthcare provider which drugs I take, on each visit's checkin. They'd be happy to have the Rx, but in many cases the patient doesn't even have one - it's buried somewhere "in the system", and if you change providers, you don't get anything from the old one - hopefully the new one knows how to talk to the old one to get the info. So there's nothing to "bring" to the office.

> It's a bad think that I know that the three drugs I take are a diuretic, a beta blocker, and an angiotensin receptor blocker?

No, it's not a bad thing that you know that, it's just about 99.999% of people have no idea what a "beta blocker" is. So for them that information is completely useless, moreover, if they plan to act on it, it may be dangerous, because they may confuse "beta blocker" with some other "blocker" and make some important decision based on that, without understanding the real consequences. If you are knowledgeable enough to know what "beta blocker" is and how it works - sure, it's useful for you, but vast majority of people don't know that and never will.

Yeah that sounds about right. Probably people are doing these races on what they already have (fat bikes and mountain bikes) which are obviously not ideal at all. A gravel race shouldnt have any drops or major obstructions so why would you ever want shocks and whatnot?

My opinion is that general use "road" bicycles peaked in the late 1980s and everything we have now are just modern re-inventions of that. A touring bicycle is basically just a gravel bike and also the ideal commuter, grocery getter, and fire road bike. With some "sport touring" bikes being criminally underrated (and also some being more just cheaper road bikes)

Mountain bikes on the other hand have improved tremendously and of course any bike designed for racing (road, cyclocross, etc) has as well.
While I do wish they priced lower, I think when you put things into perspective, it blows my mind that I can buy a card with 76 billion transistors(!) for just 1600$. I suspect the demand for top of the line RTXs will come from enthusiast gamers and ML researchers/startups. Most gamers would be more than fine with 3090 which handles almost anything. The market will be very interesting to watch.

Will be exciting to see in the next week[0] whether Gmail delivers my much-desired overseas absentee ballot to my Inbox, Spam, or drops it altogether, because Texas is too lazy[1] to use a properly-configured mail domain, or any form of domain for the web link to the ballot generator - that IP address link naturally looks sketchy as hell to the spam catching algorithm.

[0] If you applied for an overseas absentee ballot, and your state emails them, you should see it by Saturday - aka, 45 days before the election. If they mail them... eh, who knows, but they're supposed to be with USPS by Saturday, as well.

[1] Whether the laziness is unintentional or not is a different matter. They're very proactive about dropping registrations.
No, the red was intentional. They knew exactly what they were doing. Biden was the speaker and not the building. They put red behind him with full knowledge the broadcast would be a tight shot on him from directly in front. It was fully intentional.

Java Security Manager has a rich history of leaking capabilities to code that should not have them. As has practically every capability-based system ever.

Capabilities are no Silver Bullet. They work exceptionally well with small teams, but like memory leaks, reachability decisions tend not to scale to very large teams, and people start exposing information for a feature without being able to trace the consequences of having done so.

I could potentially see someone recasting this story as a parable against shared state, but I'm not convinced it's the sole cause or that you could have one without the other. I think it is true that they share a problem space, but that's neither a particularly brave nor illuminating statement.

I have a small team with a mix of backend and frontend devs.

I can see many areas the team can boost productivity from story conception through testing and shipping. But all that tooling needs resources we don't have.

Where did you find the tools or processes that you adopted for your team? Which ones should I avoid and why?
Yes. Recently, I bought an ebook on Go and it is excellent in walking you through building a full CRUD App and API with best practices.
> [React Context] was never meant to replace Redux, and as far as I know nobody from the React team has ever claimed something like that.

I think the conflation came more from the "community" than from the React team itself. Many people were (ab)using Redux for simple cases were Context would have been sufficient and, in the process, paying the price of having a lot of boilerplate related to writing anemic "reducers" whose only purpose was to store things on the global state, and eventually also paying the price of having a ball-of-mud of a global state where no-one could be sure of the dependencies between components, as anyone could be accessing anything on that big ball-of-mud. (Been there; not proud.)

So, when the Context API came along, with a much leaner API (no actions or reducers) and less "global-y" feel than Redux, people who were misusing the latter naturally saw the former as a good replacement
Eh, to some degree you do get a starting point in uni for various things. You’ll learn basic models for systems or databases as part of core requirements. If a web course exists, it’s most likely optional and out of date.

Web is certainly a different context, and some people struggle to pick it up. There’s no authoritative book like the C Programming Language, and the web is full of wrong information that sometimes comes above more authoratitve sources like MDN in Google results.
Basically I assume a good AutoML solution, given time and enough compute, can come up with a very good model, much better than I can do in a few weeks, assuming no feature engineering. This way I can focus more on what could be missing and I don't really have to think "what if I used more estimators in that random forest" et al.

There's no formal "estimation".
I picked this up from Excel as it defaults to adding the 0 in "general" formatting.

It's possible if you have a completely flat failure rate. For every time unit spend it has x% failure rate. An example is a piece of rock on the side of the road. Everyday it has a small chance to be smashed by a car. But that chance doesn't increase or decrease over time. Unless external factors change

Whether it's true for light bulbs I don't know.

Yup, assuming it works and checks out the first 24 hours I have it.

Solid state electronics are pretty robust. If they survive whatever torture you put them through plus being shipped to my door, chances are it will work just fine. In my experience there are some problematic GPU models that are more prone to early failure under heavy use (HD6990 I'm looking at you!), but they are more rare than legend may lead folks to believe.

At an appropriate discount it's far cheaper to just buy these at pennies on the dollar and just be alright with self-insuring for a rather rare early failure. When you can buy 2 or 3 for the price of new, it starts to get rather compelling.
If you buy a Toyota following the Tesla model, where you call and say "I'd like to buy the car you have, for the price you have listed", you will also have a generally good experience.
As presented, the choices then are:

- buy a $800 GPU, keep PC gaming and all the fun maintenance associated with that

- buy a cool new toy like a Xbox Series X/PS5/Steam Deck

- don't do anything, game at 720P with no AA (this sounds sort of like when I had lunchables for dinner yesterday)

Your alternative isn't wrong but they weren't looking to optimize for staying on a PC, but rather, for gaming, and were already thinking in terms of "how much of my disposable income do I want to spend on my hobby?" rather than "should I spend my disposable income on my hobby?"
Rather impressive considering they have been in Alpha for over 7 years.

That seems like it should be a Onion.com title?
It should be noted that AMD's ROCm doesn't work on most consumer gaming GPUs, unlike CUDA, and doesn't work on Windows. So it's not a good choice if you're writing software for end users where you can't control their hardware and software, unlike data centers.

IMHO, AMD has made themselves irrelevant in GPU compute, and should work hard together with Intel to support SYCL on all GPUs and all popular OSs to enable developers and end users to use GPU for compute without being stuck with proprietary solutions.
I live in a country with censored internet. What you are doing is harmful. I can only hope whatever you provide is irrelevant enough.

I've only ever bought used cars, from individuals. Paying extra for the overhead of a dealership and some salesperson's bonus seems absurd to me. You're pretty much guaranteed to get taken advantage of by a professional.

Historically liberalism can be very extreme and radical, considering groups like the Jacobins.
Is it possible to extract DNA from the feathers of this cloak in order to create some sort of genetic repository?
Sure, but that only runs on Windows, and since presumably the machine that runs it could just update without needing to boot off installation media, which means that it only works for people who already have a Windows installation and want to install Windows on a second machine that doesn't have it preinstalled. This wouldn't include anyone considering switching from another operating system to Windows, who seem like the people they should be trying hardest to help. I guess you could run it off of a VM or maybe wine, but if anything that makes the set of steps I listed above even more convoluted. I don't think the idea that Microsoft's consistent, top-down strategy for supporting media installations in the post-CD age is to have people run use VMs or wine to create the media is more plausible than them just not having any consistent strategy at all.

You could buy GPUs directly from AMD, which also had measures in place to ensure no scalpers had the upper hand. This would happen at a certain time of a certain day almost every week, so you could get one if you were patient enough.

Meanwhile NVIDIA stopped production pre-holiday season last year in an attempt to bolster their company value to 1 trillion dollars. Quite a risky play that didn't pay off [1].

I am not sure this is true - I actually prefer a heavier bike for general use. If I was racing up hills or still doing cyclocross then light as possible would be best (and of course also me being light as possible being the biggest factor). I have ridden a lot of bikes and the ones that "feel" the best have a moderately "heavy" frame designed to be fairly stiff but not crazy stiff (heavy meaning at most the light end of a steel framed road bike) with extra sturdy rims that are also as light as possible. By far the biggest effects on "feel" however tend to be tires (skinny tires suck) as you can fine tune the pressure to the surface. And of course quality bearings in the BB and hubs can make a huge difference but once you get to a certain middle level they are all good enough.

When the bike gets too light you feel the effect of bumps and terrain much more and it throws the bike around more (especially if you are "getting light" over said bumps). The lightest bikes also tend to be made for racing and can sometimes be on the ultra super stiff end of the spectrum.
My neighborhood in Washington, DC replaced its sodium streetlights with LEDs along its commercial corridor a few years ago. The replacements were going to be 4000K—not great for blue light. Luckily I was able to convince the city to source 3000K ballasts instead, which were just coming out on the market.

They’re definitely “whiter” than sodium bulbs but 3000K has very little blue light and should be fine for melatonin. The number of streetlights was doubled, but power consumption was still halved; the LEDs paid for themselves. Finally, light pollution was reduced because the ballasts point down at a 45 degree angle.

All of which is to say: with a bit of thinking and/or use of smart standards, it should be possible to use LEDs in streetlights to save energy, money, and reduce light pollution.
