I laugh, but then again I recently lost my job a few weeks ago. Thought I would fly home to check-in with my mother and take a sabbatical holiday from the 15 years. I got out of the taxi, hadn't realised that my phone had fallen out of my pocket; ran for the taxi but was too late.

The first feeling was anxiety. After accepting that, it was jealously. Walking past all the strangers in the airport on their phone while I wait for my flight with no music proceeded to anger. I wanted to lash out at someone for my own mistake; delayed flight or something would of given me a perfect excuse. However everything went smoothly surprisingly as the flights home are normally delayed. And then after three hours of flight finally acceptance that for the next four weeks I won't have a phone.

In these four weeks, I've gotten a interview (tomorrow), surprised my mother as I've never been a museum fan and become really eager to wanting to visit more. Found and finally resolved things about myself and have been reading more books than I have ever of thought. Tonights book was on surrealism.

It does have it caveats which really it doesn't. I have gotten in contact with the taxi driver, they being scottish had their line of "enjoy your holiday without the pish of technology".

I wanted to be offgrid and I have been. Maybe this is the wine speaking, but back to my book on surrealism which I never ever thought I would be reading. But to do something simple living life for a bit without technology really does wonders, more good than bad. Sounds scary, but eh, I don't want it back. Would recommend.

If you buy a Tesla, hopefully.its because you actually drive a decent amount. Otherwise, well, I think it's a waste. I live in a commuter town that most tech people wouldnt be caught dead in... Most people are blue collar. And there are a shocking amount of Tesla's and Bolts around.. why? Because they are great commute cars. If you don't drive much, and have $50-100k to spend, you buy an Audi or BMW. If you drive a lot, a Tesla makes sense.

Understanding that, yes most people would be in trouble if they got into their Tesla on Monday morning and it had.... 50 miles of range.

And you don't need to keep your gas tank at full because you can fill it up anywhere and everywhere at anytime in 5 minutes.

what? why... also emacs is really good for reproducible terminal logging of experiments/commands/output.
Static allocation has also made TigerBeetle's code cleaner, by eliminating branching at call sites where before a message might not always have been available. With static allocation, there's no branch because a message is always guaranteed to be available.

It's also made TigerBeetle's code more reliable, because tests can assert that limits are never exceeded. This has detected rare leaks that might otherwise have only been detected in production.
I distinctly remember reading a few years ago the arguments for socialized healthcare in American press, citing England’s successes with HHS system, among others. Does this new information change anything?
The current Freenode replacement (Libera) is pretty active and nice. IRC still isn't perfect, but it's a nice salve for the immediacy of TikTok/Instagram/Twitter.
Actually the inability to deal with obvious issues like this one seems more like the death of San Francisco:

But Rust is still memory safe because unsafe code "morally" is unsound if it assumes something like that can't happen.
You don’t need an EU DPO, just an EU representative, according to my reading of it. (At least not under a certain size, which is what I was looking at.) They’re basically a glorified post office box. I used DataRep, which was very reasonably priced.

It would be fair to say that academics demanded increases to their salaries (to limit how far they fell below inflation), but not that they demanded tuition fees be increased to achieve this.

See this policy briefing from the UCU on "Tuition fees in higher education" from May 2010 [1]: whilst bodies representing the universities supported increases in fees, the position of the UCU union (representing the academics, rather than the universities) was that tuition fees should be abolished and replaced by a Business Education Tax:

> University and College Union has consistently opposed the payment of tuition fees. Rather than charge students for their education, UCU would charge large employers who benefit from the plentiful supply of graduates through a new Business Education Tax (BET).

It's really not the case that lecturers wanted to stuff their pockets by price-gouging their students.

Are you saying that the status quo of putting a person in jail is the best response society can have?

Is it the case, in your opinion, that for most cocaine users, is it better for them to be locked up in jail than to "literally ... ruin their lives"? It seems like in the US, going to jail is ruining someone's life.

Note that the people you are unhappy about are doing "petty crime" - which means they already can be punished without the need for extra punishment due to substance possession.
This rhymes with my overall impression of Cosmos. It took us a while to see through the smokescreen because when talking to Microsoft support and representatives it is the Best Thing Ever and they sound so confident about it. But it really is a beta demo product sold with an alpha premium price tag.

If your traffic pattern is exactly right, and you always scale traffic up and never ever down and do not have spikes, I guess it is probably OK. The main problem is the docs are (or, at least were 2 years ago) not clear about all the caveats and restrictions but pretend it is a generic database that just works. So one has to discover all the caveats oneself.

Microsoft thinks the exact workings of the partitioning is something that should work so well you don't need to know it in detail. But, if your usecase is slightly off you end up really needing to know. I know at least one team who routinely copy all their data from one Cosmos instance to another and switch over traffic to the copy just to get a partitioning reset; it is one thing to have to do it; another to discover in production yourself it has to be done with no prior warning..

Also: The ipython+portal+Cosmos security meltdown from 1 1/2 years ago alone should be reason to look elsewhere.

(No, not a competitor, just have spent way way way too much engineering time moving first on and then off Cosmos and yes I am bitter)
"People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten." Yeah, it's definitely playing out with this technology. Remember just a few years back when they said there were babies being born that will never have to learn to drive. My daughter was born in 2016 and at this rate I'm fairly certain that in 10 years she will be going for her learner's permit.
The _Threads_ being active is shockingly irritating to me.
D is also missing.
In my country (Brazil) I sporadically meet people using TUI-based systems. Mostly COBOL but also a good amount of Clipper (or Harbour, maybe?).

I'm also aware of a couple of companies maintaining systems in Harbour and my parents use a web app written in Pascal -- I could tell by the error messages, which are extremely rare btw; the system is very stable, despite the frequent changes it goes through thanks to the tax-legislation mess we have here.

I started asking people about which type of system they prefer: those old dinosaurs or the good-looking, modern ones? 100% voted for the former. Why? "It's fast", they answer.

Some say it's because "they learned to work on those older systems and now are resisting to change". But this is simply false: even younger professionals, who grew using GUIs and web apps, prefer TUIs when it comes to get stuff done.

Such interfaces are also easier to develop. Then, I believe it would be a win-win if TUIs were widely readopted: happier users, systems cheaper to design, build and test.

But trends are so hard to change...
Apple shipping 1000€+ laptops with 256 GB will finally become so ridiculous that they'll hopefully just stop being extortionists and just put in 1TB.
Or a 700€ ipad air with 64GB storage, it's embarrassing.

Same with phones.

I hate tech for these practices, the artificial upgrade ladders and the subscription madness.

It was a while ago, and my memory sucks for those kind of things, so maybe it was you! Anyways, programming anything in the space of 5 minutes is hard enough for me, so I'm still amazed at that binomial expansion (which I had to look up, myself).
This hasn’t happened to me, but I would have thought it was your phone over Bluetooth that unlocked the car after you book it.

I don’t 100% know how zipcar operates in each market but I’m guessing these long-distance bookings are pre-booked and you can’t just leave the car in the middle of nowhere.

Your phone and the car would only need to phone home at the start of a reservation.

I guess the car itself doesn’t have cellular at all and relies on the user’s phone? Could easily run into issues where the user has service but the car does not.

Could also see this playing out in underground garages.

It’s unclear why the car needs to phone-home for each unlock/start (but no restrictions on operation) within a reservation within its geo-fence. Common sense would be if the car is where you last dropped it off, it should allow you back in within the time of your reservation.

How much harder is it for an SFBA investor to keep up with what's going on in a Berlin or London startup vs, say, an Atlanta or Miami startup? As long as you need to board a flight to get there isn't it more or less the same, whether that's a 4 hours flight or an 8 hour flight?
I border on killing myself daily as a form of punishment for selling TBT a couple weeks before the Fed finally took action.

Bought in at ~$21 on the very first high CPI print I saw. Then the Fed took 1.5 years to actually make the correct move, during which time it went as low as $15. Sold out when it finally, painfully climbed back up positive because the Fed started reversing course and I lost all hope.

Two weeks later they finally decided to act like Keynesias and started the rate hike. Now it's in the lower $30s. Not killing myself has been difficult.
I stand corrected:

Still a bummer that support for SMS will be removed but now I'm at least a tiny bit relieved.
This isn't as much of a gotcha as they think it is. Amazon was using Oracle databases until like 2019, 13 years after the launch of AWS. Same with pretty much every large company that has a mature hand-crafted tech stack in place. Sometimes the costs and complexity of migration are simply not enough to justify switching, even if the target product is your own.
I'm not sure I follow. The trend is clearly on the up month-over-month, not down or flat. Is there any other way to infer this?

Genuinely curious.
EditPlus. Been using it for almost 20 years now. Hands down the best software for text editing I have ever used. It's lighter than Notepad++. Editplus along with Faststine viewer is the reason I am not moving to Mac as my primary OS.

Kind of, but it is the WSJ.

Tangent, but it is interesting to me, how many people now seem to be unwilling to go out of cell range. It reminds me of people decades ago who would go camping, but only with a car. If you had to leave powered-travel range, they were out.

This is less the case for me now, but there was a time when leaving my cell at home was a huge luxury. And I still enjoy days when I can go do things without it - pretty much the only time anymore when my time is truly my own.

It's easier to get a job while you're employed than when you're no longer employed. Start looking now, in earnest. It can still take 4-8 weeks from first contact to a new job start date.
And to me the opposite - Turbo/Borland Pascal/C++, or the E3 editor. Okay, turns out blue is not great color for you - but that was the "dark" theme at the time.
How was this ever allowed? This sounds like litigation central. How you can rent cars that will brick themselves in tunnels, valleys, and in the country? Do cell phones even work in most parking buildings?

My google-fu can be quite bad, but so far I don't know way to search in Vim with fixed strings, not with regex - quite often I do want just to copypaste some string and not to bother on escaping dots or any other chars. Dumb simple search like Notepad do. Do you know the trick?
There's no proven nuclear technology that scales to power the world either. Do you accept that as an argument that nuclear should be disregarded?

It's entirely reasonable to assume that some storage technologies will survive being rolled out to the scale needed to allow renewables to reach 100% penetration. After all, there are thousands of different battery chemistries, and many other non-battery storage technologies, including ones using 19th century levels of science (pumped thermal storage, for example). Your negativity requires that all fail. I think you doth whine too much.
I sincerely doubt a large percentage of the world has the technical know-how to pirate.

Watching cracked streams is akin to trading endpoint security for the latest GOTR episode, too.
I've heard the same about some day-trading companies, or anyone dealing with customers/clients and has to lots to input/navigate - they still keep old terminals to good use.
You don't need to incorporate in the US to do business with US companies on a freelance basis. I have worked as a Canadian freelancer working for US companies for nearly a decade. I did eventually incorporate but that actually makes it more complicated because many large corps are used to dealing with international freelancers and just need to send you withholding exemption docs to fill out. They usually only have the individual freelancer docs at the ready -- not the incorporated entity docs. That said, hiring an employee and hiring a freelancer are different for a lot of reasons and there are good reasons why a company might not hire international folks. Including because certain industry's regulations keep them from hiring in certain places or because the work requires you be on a certain time zone. I would also say that... you shouldn't always believe what a company says when they say they're only hiring in the US. I have gotten interviews and offers for jobs that were listed like that. Here's what I do: I find a job that I find interesting and then go to the company's LinkedIn page. I look at their People tab and check to see if they currently have any employees in my country. If they do, they might have an international hiring strategy but could prefer US staffers because there's less paperwork and they don't need to go through an agency in that country to hire you. Then, I apply with my address clearly listed. It's more work for me because there are many jobs that won't even consider Canadians. However, there are some that will for the right candidate. And in the last year, I received a number of offers and interviews from companies willing to hire me remotely from Canada but who had originally advertised US only. Many companies, especially small startups, are moving towards international hiring strategies.

So, same reason why Microsoft uses SAP instead of Microsoft Dynamics. They would use their own product if they were to start now, but migrating from SAP would cost them millions and take a lot of time.

The state owns the land and will lease it to any individual, with the price being determined by the free market, same how property prices are determined today. Whoever can afford the most, gets it.

Best of both worlds. You discourage real estate speculative and hoarding for rent seeking purposes and still have the free market competition determining the prices.

Once your lease is up you can renew it at current market prices if you want it and can afford it. If not, then you make way for someone else to take up the lease.
Seconded. Cancelled because of the very-clear and obvious pivot to woke original content. Give me good entertainment and not ideologically based.

Relying on consumer boycotts to address anti-social behavior from companies that literally rely on addiction behaviors to get people to return to their product is clearly not the answer.

This is the exact purpose of the state, to punish bad actors that can't be effectively effectively punished or disincentivised with collective action.
I think the grandparent was saying that dynamic allocation is a form of optimization, which also makes the code harder to follow. Your anecdote seems exactly in line with their suggestion.
Sorry, but I don't find information published before the WHO finally admitted that Covid was airborne to be all that convincing.

>As 2021 drew to a close, the highly contagious Omicron variant of the pandemic virus was racing around the globe, forcing governments to take drastic actions once again. The Netherlands ordered most businesses to close on 19 December, Ireland set curfews and many countries imposed travel bans in the hope of taming the tsunami of COVID-19 cases filling hospitals. Amid the wave of desperate news around the year-end holidays, one group of researchers hailed a development that had seemed as though it might never arrive. On 23 December, the World Health Organization (WHO) uttered the one word it had previously seemed incapable of applying to the virus SARS-CoV-2: ‘airborne’.

Social distancing by six feet cannot by definition be effective against a virus that floats in the air for hours and completely spreads through any enclosed space.

Sure, there are other solutions, and you've given examples of decent ones (rent holidays, mortgage jubilees, etc), and in a better world, we would have undertaken them.

We don't live in a better world, finance has a stranglehold on our politics, and PPP was a better alternative than no-PPP. There's much to criticise it, and I don't think it was the best among all possible options, but I do think it was vastly better than nothing (Or just paying people through UI, while their employers fold).

In context - "free" makes the implicit insult to Elan somewhat stronger, and insulting him would be the goal of Taiwan making such an offer. The $/day calculation could only be relevant if he took them up on it - which is an extremely unlikely outcome.
I think he's dead right in this article. I noticed when I moved from New York to San Francisco about 5 years ago that the emphasis of "fine dining" is price and exclusivity, not quality. It's as if people only know something tastes good because they paid $30 for it.

I believe it is easy for a well-made software to immediately detect and report what goes wrong. With Sentry, Elk, or whatever else.

So, let's say I'm woken up in the middle of the night because my black box database as a service suddenly returns errors. If I'm not incompetent, I should have error messages and stacktraces available in a few seconds. If I'm a rich cloud customer, I can call the premium cloud support and ask for an explanation. If not, I would probably have to debug it myself.

With your service, I understand that I can blame the cloud provider faster. Maybe it can make the debugging session slightly faster when your monitoring also returns errors. End users don't care whether it's my code or the cloud provider code crashing, so it's a developer tool for emergencies. Did I understand well?
