This is really cool! My #1 feature request would be to try to preserve the floorplan and not change any of the walls, windows, or doors. That sounds like a very difficult challenge though. I've seen some new AI tools recently that can render 3d objects. It would also be awesome if I could upload a 2D floorplan to get some ideas from a top-down view.

I actually tried this myself with DALLE-2 recently, but it had very poor results. I'm atrocious at interior design and constantly make mistakes and bad choices, so I regularly look at subreddits like /r/designmyroom and /r/malelivingspace. I'm looking forward to seeing some good tools in this space. I can imagine a polished product that is actually of the room layout. Imagine if it could even scrape second-hand furniture photos from ebay and TradeMe (in New Zealand) and automatically figure out the size and generate 3D models that you could place in your room (e.g. using SweetHome3D.) That would be extremely useful.
I finally see where this is heading with all the WASM stuff!

So, yep, meat is a small % of what's wasted. I bet the percentage of meat wasted is much smaller than the % of food overall.
Having multiple accounts reduces the potential blast radius tremendously.

Anyone who hasn't accidentally deleted "stuff" in the wrong account is someone who hasn't been doing production work for long.

One big downside is that it makes sharing resources between accounts more difficult...which I suppose might also be an upside, since that dependency needs to be explicit in the various permissions.

It also makes tooling more awkward.

But, it also allows you to completely automate deployment of consistent environments, providing a IT/CI/Testing nirvana for not that much work.
I'm curious too, so did I found some data. Here are the assumptions:

- Toyota Camry Hybrid LE (about $30k to get entry-level, new)

- Driving 35 hrs / week at an average speed of 35 mph, 48 weeks of the year

- A couple thousand personal miles

- Deprecation at that rate over 3 years is about $11k

- Average Uber driver income of $0.83 / mile

Ends up with:

- Running costs of $0.16 / mile (insurance, fuel, maintenance)

- Depreciation costs of $0.06 / mile

- Total per-mile cost of $0.22 / mile

- Net per-mile income of $0.83 - $0.22 = $0.61 / mile

That's about $35,868 / year "take home."

But, it's also a best-case scenario (no major accidents, no periods where you can't work, no injuries, about the best car you can get for this kind of gig, you have the cash or credit to buy it new and you can easily sell it after 3 years). I suspect that depreciation amount to be a little low, since the calculators don't factor in Uber-driver levels of usage.

And of course, that's 1099 income. No benefits, no health insurance. If your auto insurer finds out you're a professional driver, your rates will likely go up. If you have an accident and they find out, they may void your policy.

It isn't a great gig but I have to admit that it is net-positive.

It took me a hot moment to adjust after leaving classic spring Java land to a Scala shop that doesn’t use DI framework, but now I love it. I agree with what you said.

It does help to keep services small so the manual DI arg passing doesn’t get too spread out and boilerplate-y. But I have worked on a dozen services here and don’t miss an automatic DI framework.
Moral of the story : choose your parents wisely.
I think you need to look at ALL wars and conflicts through history, and not just pick one example. Most of them didn't end in complete victory for one side.

I'm not going to address a straw man argument like "maybe it's a good idea to sacrifice part of Ukraine and the people living there for some kind of temporary peace."
I disagree on every point.
Similar to other use cases mentioned already, it was a way for us to create a privacy-focused site to manage guests and give guests the opportunity to update their RSVP, dietary needs, and requested song for the DJ. Additionally there were a few sections of the site where my fiancée could update content as she saw fit by logging in and hitting save. We found the database useful to keep track of RSVPs, gifts, and who we still needed to send thank you's to after the event.

The main drawbacks were people who are not comfortable using the web and people remembering their unique adjective-noun passphrase. Also, I'm not very savvy when it comes to CSS or design so my giddiness was crushed demoing what I thought was the MVP to the "project manager".

I don't want to detract this from being about Javalin though. It's fantastic. I would recommend it and use it again for projects.
As a user, I love the fact that the App Store has an extra pair of eyes to at least try to keep some consistency. It may suck for iOS developers but as an end user it feels safer than Android.
It’s not even antiquated depending on where you live.

Good to see progress though!

Getting everything you want is always seductive.
WASM is basically a way to deliver the old JVM promise of "compiled once, run everywhere, sandbox if needed", with the additional constraint of "close-to-native performance" and "any language can compile down to it". It's a good thing if it delivers on all those promises. And it's especially a good thing if you don't like JS, because it's our best shot at dethroning JS.
For anyone who wants to get started with this stack you can do `git clone https://gitlab.com/asad-awadia/kotlin-server-app.git` to get a full maven project with javalin, sqlite with ktorm and jdbi everything setup

You can get an Intel NUC 11 Essential kit [1]. It comes with a low power N5105 Jasper Lake with 4 cores. This is an atom core (Tremont), the rev before Gracemont (Intel E-core) built on Intel 7. It's about $165 with case, power supply. You need to supply RAM (DDR4 SODIMM) and SSD (M.2 2280 NVMe or SATA). It's probably one of, if not the best bang/buck small unit on the market from a major US based vendor.

Even if they blocked it in the OS you’d still be able to block with an off device network solution like pihole.

Or just use alternatives to the offending apps. I don’t mind Apple’s stock software and try to use it in most cases to avoid the software tinkering trap, but it’s not like there’s any that’s best in class/irreplaceable.

I think the commenters objection is more about principle.

Lots of AWS accounts doesn't scale. Accounts are heavy items in terms of governance, manageability and cost. On your way to 100 accounts you'll be rearchitecting security and networking and will find yourself in a strange limbo of architecture models. Once over 100 you'll be drowning in the tech debt of a complex environment with increasing friction.

Accounts can be made lightweight by using shared VPC/subnets but then you'll be in the realm of niche user, hampered by AWS's poor support for RAM service support with poor documentation if you plan on using anything off the highway of bread and butter services.

IMO a balance needs to be struck with sensible boundaries built on business units or ownership. Shared VPC's are inherently unstable and should be avoided where possible. Build a good delegated IAM model and hammer people to use it properly.
UO was well advertised before launch. One of my most prized possessions as a kid was a summer of 1996 (want to say June) issue of PC Games magazine that had an in depth preview of UO. It came out about a year before the game actually launched. I probably read that article about 100 times. I was never going to get my parents to pay the monthly subscription fee so that magazine and my imagination was the closest I got to UO until I was in college and could afford it myself (that was during Age of Shadows and EverQuest had already supplanted it as the most popular MMORPG)

In the late 90s, Ultima was still one of the biggest (if not the biggest) PC/Western RPG franchises. UO launched before Ultima 9 kind of killed the franchise. I'd be surprised to find anyone who was really into PC gaming during that era that hadn't heard of Ultima Online.

Unraveling One of Rock’s Deepest Mysteries: Les Rallizes Dénudés
I think those that need to know about it, will find out the same way everybody does - when they wonder why they can't access the photos taken on their phone.
Software repositories can distribute whatever software they want, the examples you've given are of arbitrary decisions made by repo owners. Furthermore, Win32 isn't an 'ecosystem', it's just a set of APIs you can target to pantomime software behavior. It doesn't relate to software distribution whatsoever, just as the Darwin/XNU kernel doesn't handle packaging.

In fact, you've done a very good job of highlighting the problem with the iPhone. MacOS' software distribution works because it offers a distribution-agnostic API for native apps, same as Windows. iOS/iPadOS don't expose those interfaces to the user, which means the only way to 'install' an app is with Apple's good graces. Compared to Debian, where you can still install non-free packages regardless of how it exists in the repo, Apple's status quo is considerably more restrictive (and abusive).
Your link already says "The job you are looking for was not found." It looks like it lost a "004" at the end of the URL?
Agree on your first point - not sure it happened frequently though.

As for Ukrainian people - living under Russian occupation is hell - that’s why every single country that experienced it in Eastern Europe is helping Ukraine like there is no tomorrow.
That's a really cool idea. Maybe it's possible to use this tool to build a two-step process:

1. Remove all furniture from the room.
2. Add furniture to the empty room.

It sounds like img2img might make it possible to preserve the existing floorplan so that it doesn't change any walls or doors.

I don't have a good enough GPU to play around with this stuff (2019 Macbook Pro), but I should probably spin up an instance on AWS or find an API I can use. This new generation of AI tools is really exciting.
well, they do compete head-on in US and a bigger company with more worldwide revenue could displace the other one, so from that angle the comparison seems relevant.
That photo in the article has strong Willy Wonka vibes.
Subtitles are blobs of text alternatives (to sound) consumed alongside the other content. As you point out, it's important that they're accurate and well-constructed!
Yeah... have to disagree there... I don't think they do nearly the QA/QC that their pricing model would have you believe. They'd have to just flat charge $100 for every time you submit a new app version for it to be that way, or closer to it and that would require much smaller cut of revenue to make sense. Meaning less overall money to apple, but higher quality over quanity.

For a practical example, see what LinkedIn did a few years back... I trust nobody, and am largely disinclined to install any/most applications.
Usually there is some innovation with each new app they purchase. Of the big ones:

OkCupid: Matching using questions/answers + statistical modeling

Tinder: Simple swipe left/right model + hook up emphasis

Hinge: Emphasizes long term connections + "designed to be deleted"

So best way to get acquired would be to find a new niche and an innovative way to appeal to that niche.

I have a friend that got into web development in Malaysia without a degree. He accomplished this by networking aggressively and reaching out to everyone he knew to let them know he was looking for work. It took a few months, though this was not done anywhere near optimally for various personal reasons. As matt_s said, networking is at least one good pathway into building a career, and I think it's doubly important when you don't have a qualification yet.

Feel free to reach out to the email in my profile if you'd like to chat about how he managed it, etc. Even though he's paid decently now, it wasn't easy (though it wasn't that hard either) and the work can be tough.
It still kind of generates a bunch of undefined behavior if parts of your code disappear from the build where they shouldn’t.

Several years ago, I got some raspberry pi’s and some arduinos. I taught myself how to make hardware stuff, so much so that I built a salad making robot during Covid lockdown. Anyways I pretty quickly went the arduino route back then and haven’t touched raspberry pi in years. What is the use case where people need raspberry pi? I can see if you were trying to run a cheap full OS computer for some reason. But many people are talking about wishing they had them for hardware projects and I remember the raspberry pi being overkill for my uses. The arduino was simpler for me to use so I never quite get why I’d use the raspberry pi for a hardware project.

> What fraction of devs could even complete this

Like 25%? But that’s really only because of the influx of people doing it for money.

If you’d asked me the same thing 15 years ago I’d have said 80%.
Of course, that's what I thought I said in my previous comment but I guess I wasn't crystal clear. The formal verification stack basically tells you, "There's no guarantee 0<N<100 holds if you get N from an I/O stream. N can be anything." So it's your job to insert a runtime check for N<=0 or N>=100 and decide how best to handle that, e.g. panic and quit, or clamp N to a valid range if it makes sense, or avoid accessing the array if it makes sense. But the system won't let you use a possibly out of range N as an array subscript so you are forced to code a solution to this special case "at compile time", typically by inserting a runtime check. Though if you are reading data from a trusted ROM you can also use a pragma or special assert to say, "This data can be trusted to have this invariant" and avoid the runtime check.

My guess, knowing nothing: Apple will drop the AppStore payments commission to 3% (for the first $X MM of payments).

I don't love Ads based rev stream, but Apple needs some revenue source for the AppStore. Currently the 30% of virtual goods payments is getting a lot of scrutiny. They have already started to reduce it to 15% in many cases. It just makes sense that this will get reduced to 3% over time.

Apple is pivoting to Ads so that they can reduce the % without much of an impact to their top and bottom line.

College graduate with no formal CS education. I've been freelancing for roughly 10 years, working as an independent contractor for boutique digital agencies, early startups and other small businesses. Even some game dev for indie game studios.

I want to transition from a freelance dev/webmaster type of role, to a better-paid and more formal SWE career. Collaborating with and learning from a team of engineers, to build and deploy products at larger scales.

On the tech side of things, I've been very much been a "code only" person. Usually working independently (sometimes alone, sometimes in a small group of developers) with feature work and closing tickets with little regard to formal processes. Hopefully this can be counteracted with my soft skills client-facing experience from agencies and freelance work, having spoken directly with clients to better understand their problems in high-level discussions to meet their goals. I am open to learning from more experienced engineers to obtain more marketable skills in automation, testing, and cloud services. And understanding the team dynamics of a larger company.

Not interested in contract work or high-risk ventures.
Given that you can add whatever repos you want on Debian and/or install packages directly outside of any repo - and that people actually do just that for the non-free stuff - how is it any less free than Windows?
If it's that few copies and the publisher isn't providing any help marketing, then an author is better off self-publishing with a platform like Lulu or CreateSpace. Per https://blog.lulu.com/self-publishing-vs-traditional-publish... traditional publishers take almost all of the profits and also have baroque processes with wait times of months to years.
The biggest newspapers are writing stories with no proof or facts, and no one cares anymore.

No one cares, when you can watch 5 movies in a day and feel all sorts of emotions people used to only feel a few times a year, watch porn, play videogames, read about anything you want, you have little time or neurochemistry left to be mad at scientist, journalists or politicians lying to you.
