Sounds easy, in practice it’s much harder. Spend years building a life making money, have your entire social circle and your kids’ lives somewhere. You don’t just leave. Why do most of our parents still live in the same place or move to near where their kids live (also other HCOL areas)?

When you mess up the repl session somehow, for example by starting a http server on a port but not storing the server object. You now have blocked a port, and restarting the server does not work. Or if you run something like (future (while true ...))

There is some wierdness when redefining protocols and multimethods where a good 'ol restart is the easiest way to set things right.

Google is on a warpath of advertising to the detriment of its base products. Nowhere is this more apparent to me than Google Maps, mostly because there isn't a great alternative if I want to find businesses near me.

Everyone who can help OSM should. There's no reason OSM can't be a wikipedia-quality product, to the point where close source, advertising-beholden alternatives can't meaningfully compete. Add businesses in your town today! Add business hours if you can! Fix any errors you see. And try to switch to OSM for everything you can. Every little bit helps.

> If catastrophic hurricanes are really going to happen every 10 years, should the federal government be subsidizing the coastal lifestyle and building you a new house each time?

No.

Unlike other subsidies there is no greater economic/societal good created from people having their costal homes. And, unlike other disaster situations, hurricanes in that region are an outright guarantee.

Also, this is just going to keep getting worse with climate change.

I agree with Calgary. People are free to live there, but not on my dime.

I remember this being done back when Opera 7 was used. I think it had a feature for mobile OS, where it would route requests to Opera's servers and serve clients a minified, smaller version of the page, so people on 2G at the time could still use the web. I don't remember people being outraged at the time at the prospect of a browser having a baked-in VPN option though.

I must say that is a terrible idea.

Should parts of CA or other earthquake prone areas be labelled uninhabitable?

What about areas where forest fires are routine?

Flood prone areas? Tornado prone areas? High UV? Poor air quality?

It makes no sense whatsoever to dictate that people cannot live on the coasts due to natural disasters which happen everywhere, all the time.

Frankly, being told where to live is more garish than being told what to think and what to say.

Neovim is one of those things that seem maybe cool, but I just can't find a reason to switch.

Limits of Language-Thought Influences and the Constraints of Embodiment (2021)
If an area is regularly rendered uninhabitable by major weather events then rebuilding in that area is a liability for all involved. When buildings and property are destroyed their contents are dispersed or leak, representing an environmental hazard; people and animals returning are exposed to evacuation risks in following weather events; and then there's the obvious tax and insurance liability discussed elsewhere.

We've been treating these areas as fit for habitation and we're watching in realtime as they become uninhabitable. While it may have been more tolerable to live in these regions in the last century when global temperatures were lower we're at an inflection point; we're going be forced to concede spaces as too dangerous for regular habitation because storms are only going to increase in severity and frequency.

As a society we have a few options: 1, we continue to rebuild and pay the costs until it becomes completely cost prohibitive; 2, dramatically rethink how we build in the area and construct buildings that can cope with several feet of storm surges; or 3, accept reality and begin the process of resettling people in areas that won't be submerged in 100 years. It's likely that we're going to pursue option 1 for the next 10-30 years because collective change is hard but we ought to start having these conversations well in advance of insurance companies writing off all of Florida as uninsurable.

This doesn't even begin to touch on the benefits of allowing areas to revert to wetlands, but considering that they act as excellent buffers from the storms we're observing as well as carbon sinks, but it's worth stating that retreating from these areas makes more sense on ecological and financial grounds.
It s the same ! Look the syntax of json does not impose a structure (what fields, what order, can I remove a field), making it dangerous for any stable parsing over time.

Shadow worked pretty well for me, though it's a lot more expensive than Geforce Now and limited storage. Unless you pay even more, it's 256GB which these days might only be 2-3 AAA games. If you want AC: Odyssey & Cyberpunk, there goes all of your space.

You're looking at a cost that approaches that of a budget gaming rig (if you shop around a bit) or, for even less money (if you wait a few months) a steam deck. With either of those, provided you have access to good residential broadband, you can use them to stream remotely almost as well as Shadow. I do this fairly regularly. If you don't have good broadband to stream from home, Steam deck stick has you covered. You can even use it to stream locally to your laptop for the larger screen. (It's a shame that laptops don't generally let you use their HDMI ports for incoming though)
No one is being told where to live. But there is no reason to subsidize property prices in areas by providing federal taxpayer subsidized insurance. Providing taxpayer subsidized insurance allows people to buy properties with a larger mortgage (for which banks require flood insurance), which allows property prices to rise higher than they would have without taxpayer subsidized insurance.

1) Formal Syntax and Semantics of Programming Languages: A Laboratory Based Approach by Kenneth Slonneger and Barry Kurtz - https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~slonnegr/ (PDFs are available on the web).

2) You may also find Cliff B. Jones' book Understanding Programming Languages useful.

Excerpt from the preface;

Fortunately, there is a less expensive way of sorting out the meaning of a programming language than writing a compiler. This book is about describing the
meaning (semantics) of programming languages. A major objective is to teach the
skill of writing semantic descriptions because this provides a way to think out and make choices about the semantic features of a programming language in a cost effective way. In one sense a compiler (or an interpreter) offers a complete formal description of the semantics of its source language. But it is not something that can be used as a basis for reasoning about the source language; nor can it serve as a definition of a programming language itself since this must allow a range of implementations. Writing a formal semantics of a language can yield a far shorter description and one about which it is possible to reason. To think that it is a sensible engineering process to go from a collection of sample programs directly to coding a compiler would be naive in the extreme. What a formal semantic description offers is a way to think out, record and analyse design choices in a language; such a description can also be the basis of a systematic development process for subsequent compilers. To record a description of the semantics of a language requires a notation
—a “meta-language”. The meta-language used in this book is simple and is covered
in easy steps throughout the early chapters.

Not sure if it's the case elsewhere as well, but at least in India, email address on amazon orders are accessible to sellers if you made a purchase from a seller. I have had sellers reach out to me right after buying something from amazon, offering an incentive for a review.

Further, customer support agents can pull up your details as well. At least when there is an active ticket. I was reached out by one of the support executives confronting me from his personal mobile number after I left poor feedback for a chat interaction.

Amazon has little or no respect for data privacy especially in regions where there are no strict regulations that can cause them monetary loss through fines.

I became interested in computers through games, and was fascinated the first time I saw one play video (1993-ish?) That grew into an interest in controlling them, with programming being the natural route. I got a book of BASIC code when I was about 11, and ended up being able to take some programming classes at about 14. College for Computer Science meant some intro programming classes, and I started taking part in programming competitions.

After graduating, my first software that had much meaning to me was "KhedNes", an NES emulator that I worked on, on and off, from about 2008-2014. Professionally, I worked on a piece of backup software that had 10s of thousands of companies as customers at its peak. That was definitely a neat thing to think about.

why would an outcome in this conflict have a deciding factor in other conflicts that would be predicated on their own set of issues and would involve different kinds of people of different abilities with different agendas? This looks like an unneccessary generalization, as there's no way to tell if the same conflicts wouldn't flare up if Russia were peaceful.

> Reading this article I feel torn. On the one hand, I think Wikipedia is an excellent product and that inclines me to trust their decision making methods and outcomes. On the other hand, this seems like increased politicization...it seems like the decision is based on volume of editor complaints.

Yeah, I read some of the discussion, and the person who proposed the deprecation was also extremely active in the discussion (it helped that he had a very visually distinctive username). It was almost like he was acting like a prosecutor. I wouldn't be surprised if 10-20% of the whole discussion was that one guy.
I didn't mean to imply orbit debris isn't a real problem. But for the low end of LEO:

- Most debris deorbits naturally in a few years. Any debris causing events or accumulation naturally clears out in a reasonable time frame. It's not like debris at 800-2000km which is the real "Kessler Syndrome" concern where it takes decades or centuries.

- Debris mitigation efforts that are already in place are effective. Limiting debris release during launch and deployments has had a huge positive impact over the last few decades.

- "Traffic control" is a lot easier at these altitudes and debris in this range is well tracked. Obviously this doesn't extend to small stuff (<5cm), but due to active mitigation and natural decay this is less of an issue. Also ground radars are getting better and can actually see a lot of these objects now.
I'm interpreting it otherwise because the conversation is superficial to the point of being meaningless. Akin to "hey I have an idea, why don't we make it better?" "That's a great idea, how do we make it better?" "Well let's improve some aspects" "Super interesting idea!"
The difference is with waiting tables you are living hand to mouth. When you’re making $450k, it just takes a little bit of discipline to build up a huge nest egg and then move somewhere way cheaper to up your standard of living.

True pre-Trump, but he changed that. Thumb in the eye to the coasts.
Treesitter integration is a bit easier in neovim IMHO (but I haven't tried to make it work with vim too much.)

Newer plugin development seems to be much more on the nvim side than vim as well. (Although I do feel fzf is superior to telescope, at least out of the box.)

I'm happy neovim exists, it rekindled vim development.

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the bus factor 1 on vim?
Plugins built with lua, lsp, treesitter for syntax highlighting are the big ones.

I get 8h of sleep each day and work 40h a week. I commute 30m each way: 5h a week. Basic daily routines (grooming, dressing, cooking, eating) are 2h a day. I try to do at least 30m of exercise a day.

49.5hrs remain in my week.

Reduce that by another 39.55h. I have fewer than 1h30m available a day now.

I have not done any errands, have no food for the coming week, my clothes are dirty, and I have not seen or called any of my friends or family.

Imagine living that lifestyle for 1,046 days in a row.

(Truth be told, I'm positive sacrifices were made. Cut the exercise, order delivery, eat while playing, don't shower, etc)
> The idea is to require banks, credit unions and other providers of financial services to track and submit information to the IRS about the total inflows and outflows of every account

This seems quite different than "tracking purchases", online or not. As far as I can tell, they're looking to identify movement of money between accounts that would indicate behavior meant to skirt taxes.

I'm never excited about moves that involve more tracking of individuals, but I also don't think it's fair to characterize this as "tracking purchases".

Did this ever actually go into effect? Looks like this was all just a proposal at the time the article was written.
Do a traceroute and see how many third parties your traffic is going through. You probably don't get many point-to-point connections.
To be honest, that sounds amazing.

Having those coasts be parks with hundreds of miles of low-impact infrastructure like hiking/biking/walking paths, maybe simple low-key restaurants that aren't a big deal to rebuild every decade, etc.

Put all the heavier infrastructure like housing developments a few miles inland. Then everyone can enjoy these idyllic beach lands a little farther from all the buzz of cities. Everyone in the city can still easily go to the coastline-spanning megapark, but now the beach isn't lined with gaudy condos.

I think the partition of Junior vs Senior won't fully capture the decision making process on who goes or stays. While only time and effort will change your skill level, there are other traits that contribute that you might be able to change:

- Potential: How fast has this person picked up since they were hired?
- Intelligence: Related, but natural smarts is still a plus.
- Personality: How much are you a fit for the team?
- Reliability: Whether a manager know they can give work to you and it will get done.
- Work Ethic: Available when they should be and make the most of their time.
- Communication: Whether a person can present complex concepts in a coherent manner.

Essentially, you want to make yourself so good at the things you can do that whoever is making the decision has a really hard time letting you go.

But you dont care as much about rollback (we rarely rollack successful migration and only on prod issues the next few days, and always prepare for it with a reverse script) as you care about the past (can you read data from 2 years ago? this can matter a lot more, and you must know it's never done on unstructured data: the code evolve with the new shape, week after week and you re cucked when it's the old consumer code you need to unearth to understand the past). It's never perfect, but the belief data dont need structure nor a well automated history of migration, is dangerous.

I've seen myself, anecdotically, that most of the time with json data, the past is ignored during the ramp up to scale and then once the product is alive and popular, problems start arising. Usually the cry is "why the hell dont we have a dumb db rather than this magic dynamic crap". I now work in a more serious giant corporation where dumb dbs are the default and it's way more comfortable than I was led to believe, when I was younger.
yes, but if deorbiting in years is sufficient, the difference in time is not relevant.
