I'll be fully honest that this is a bit biased as someone who lives and grew up in AZ.

I do have to say though out of all the states in the southwest, Arizona has had better resource management and conservation of the limited water resources we have. As early as the 50's and 60's Arizona took a pretty aggressive stance on securing water rights and even in the 80s took steps to ensure that as large metro areas grew that water sustainability was something that at least had passing thoughts about when new developments are built.

AZ might have been one of the earliest adopters of water policies focused on drought conditions[1]. While California was draining basins, aquifers and depleting their surface water, areas under active management in AZ were focused on ensuring that our aquifers were (somewhat) sustainable.

Is that enough? Almost certainly not. Is there more we should do? Unequivocally yes.

What you are seeing is rural areas who fell outside these management schemes having their chickens come home to roost.

This is in stark contrast to parts of Phoenix where there have been areas where the water tables have been rising [2] (which I assume) are due to the reduction in water heavy crops, landscape management, etc.

TL;DR: AZ has water problems, but we have known about this since the 80's and at least tried to take action.

How? How many large companies are investing so much resource in novel ideas for years without seeing much back?
There have been plenty of major performance improvements for Ruby but most of them require changes that just aren't feasible for a large codebase. For example, there are alternative Ruby interpreters that are far faster than the MRI but they're not usually a drop in replacement because they don't have full Gem or really general ecosystem compatibility.

Also, some performance improvements like JIT just don't matter that much for Rails because the primary problem isn't single thread performance it's the lack of cheap parallelism.
Building Makemore Part 4: Becoming a Backprop Ninja
Maybe ;-)

I do know that this course is still offered widely across the US, but maybe not within CS, and maybe not as a mandatory course.

But, bottom line: if you're interested, it's very likely you can take it - you may have to check your school of engineering or applied math department.
> putting a Cfo in charge of a company will lead to this

The why is more interesting to me and seems pretty self-evident: a CFO's job is to keep bad things from happening.

That's not the sole person you want running a company, because that's just dying more slowly, with good numbers.
Guns don't commit violence. Saying that they do is at best a category error. "Not even wrong" would be another fair description.

By all means, let's disarm prohibited persons though. But can you can stomach the "disparate impact?"
I'll chime in Authy, which can be setup in parallel over several devices. Google Authenticator is sort of broken - they don't have sync across devices
Do it. Watch the world burn.
I don't think there's a problem with cable weight with electric motors. Production EV's today have ridiculous amounts of torque and don't require prohibitively heavy cables.

The issue with acceleration using wheels is gravity. You are limited to 1g, the downforce on the wheels, which you use for traction to push the vehicle forward. Spoilers increase the downforce on the vehicle beyond 1g, but the energy required to do that is proportional to the drag on the spoiler.

Short of a rocket engine, the way to accelerate beyond 1g with a wheeled vehicle is to have a downforce fan. That can be powered by combustion or by electricity. I don't know which would offer the highest power to weight ratio.

It shows that list comprehension has a single loop variable across all loop iterations that gets reassigned on each iteration, while the sequence comprehension creates a new loop variable bound to current item on every iteration.
Seems like you wouldn't want to share passkeys for the same reasons you don't normally want to share passwords?

Instead, each website that accepts passkeys should allow you to register multiple devices and probably print out backup codes as well (for the especially important accounts).

If there's no reason to migrate anything then lock-in is irrelevant. Just add more login methods so that when you lose some, you have others.

Eh. Pedantically; the Apple Store will at least try to help you, even if they’re not empowered to fix it they will guide you through the process until there is a resolution.

It’s not as “you’re on your own” as some products I’ve owned.
No. Stop looking at your phone.
Sell rumors, buy facts :)
In practice what you do is design it to crash easily and recover quickly. Computers are fast, hearts are slow. Your microcontroller can go "huh, that set of readings is bollocks, let's restart and try again" several times between beats.

Even better, a pacemaker is not literally constantly driving a patient's heart, continuously. It's giving it a nudge every now and again if it's drifting out of whack. Think PLL rather than master clock ;-)
That's only one data point, and I'm sure plenty of people could say the opposite about their companies.

In my case, I've been involved in tons of engineering hiring meetings at my company and diversity has never swayed things in one direction or the other when evaluating candidate performance.

> Not exactly good times in the US, but probably better if you're living in Ukraine or Russia.

Worst times in the US are still way better than best times in Russia in Ukraine. That may be true for entire time period of US existence BTW. Some people/countries are just more lucky than others.
True, but compared to Twitter or reading about Ukraine, HN doesn't make me angry or depressed.
Perhaps the rise of mobile gaming and decline of PC gaming in favor of consoles (if that’s actually happening at all) still substantiates my narrative that technology and businesses arise to address the needs causing piracy. So you’re agreeing with me.

You keep talking about sales when I’m talking about impact on music piracy, the music industry in general, and cultural impact. I hardly think Jobs thought purely in sales and not the latter.

Explain? My understanding is it takes a majority of employees voting to form a union. Is there some process by which a minority can force a union on the majority?
Petzold just released 2nd edition of Code, with additional work on CPU architecture.
You are asking me why I wouldn't pay for a service provided by dubious entities that is primarily used for activities that are illegal?
It's more likely they will give a better deal overall to the unionized store but they will spin the hell out of it to the non unionized stores that the extra $1k they earn isnt really worth it because they dont get a fossball table, free coffee and bonuses that could be up to $1k.

A company I worked for used these kinds of tactics to try and convert contractors into perm. They talked as if the perks were 3-10x as valuable as they actually were.

Apple will also probably also try to keep the wages quiet but publicize the perks (or lack thereof) pour decourager les autres.
What good does it do to worry about that? You should look at dealing with your anxiety, you may find peace that way. Just take everything a day at a time.
hi! are there any entry-level positions available for frontend?
Sounds like you need to lay off the phone bro. Your phone is the source of a bunch of negative, ill stuff.

That's not to say there's not a war nor layoffs coming. But your phone just fills you with bad vibes 24/7. You need to lay off it to re-energize.

You don't need a therapist to charge you hundreds of $$$ to tell you that.

But yeah, some therapy couldn't hurt.
If only there were a company that had, at some point, demonstrated that you can use indicators such as colour to indicate to users whether their messages were being transported via SMS or an E2E secure transport layer.

I guess that's just a pipe dream though.
I've been a huge fan of drag racing, and the engineering behind it. I've seen the influx of electric cars making their way into the scene but they never seem to be competitive, and that comes down to their top end.

The extreme end of combustion engines, you really got top fuel dragsters. Not much faster land vehicles than those. The flaw with those, they got about 2 uses tops before it needs to be completely gutted and rebuilt, not great as a weekend track car. As well, it's somewhere around $1000/second to drive it.

You can sit more in the middle with people getting 1000hp daily drivers. With dynamic tuning, flex fuel, etc you can get the best of both worlds. As well, DCT AWD transmissions make grip/shifting issues a thing of the past.

However, these middle ground drag cars can still get eaten by a $130k bone stock tesla*. The extra weight, infinite torque, and zero shifting is a real advantage, even if their top end isn't as strong as their ICE counterpart.

I've always dreamed of building a hybrid car with tiny tiny battery packs. Maybe enough charge for 4-5 passes. Enough for a day at the track. But have a fully built high revving ICE. You get the launch in full electric, your ICE can be fully spooled, and ready to switch over automatically. Perhaps the smaller batteries couldn't put out enough power? Who knows.

But your quality of life is actually better. More advanced medical care, more access to information on improving yourself, your career. Tons of opportunities to try new things using online training that was never previously accessible.

The only difference is that this new level of connectivity also is showing (if you're looking) how everyone else is doing and allowing you to constantly make quantitative comparisons. Now you're aware of what everyone house on your street is worth and where all your rich friends are taking vacations. But you don't have to buy into it. Stop counting other peoples' money and you'll be much happier.
It's less efficient, sure. But it's eminently practical if your goal is to avoid hydraulic despotism long term.
We’re all sort of complicit in building a network of networks that only really “succeeds”(driving clicks, generating ad revenue) by getting as much attention from you as possible. The best way to do that is to scare you and make you as worried as possible.

Putting our lives on the internet will either bring some crazy socio-economic change that makes everything better or it will go down in history as one of the dumbest things we’ve ever done.

Do your best to take back the short time you have on this planet away from this weird worry network we have all built and spend time with people, do things that make you happy and healthy, ignore the ad revenue machine and it can’t fuck with you.
CSS Nesting Syntax Survey Results
There is nothing wrong with collusion, whether its from employees, or employers.

The state should stay out of it, and the laws forcing negotiations, or giving either the company or the employees protections should not exist.

If employees want to get together in a union and negotiate collectively, that's their right and they should not be legally barred from doing so.

If companies want to fire the employees who do so, and not deal with a union in any way, that too is their right and they should not be legally barred from doing so.

The primary purpose of labor laws should be to establish the expectations in the absence of an article in the contract establishing those expectations (ie: if the contract doesn't mention which safety procedures are to be followed in the steel foundry, the thing that's in the law prevails. If the contract outlines other procedures, then the contract prevails).

A secondary purpose of the labor law is to enforce the contract. (Ie: if an employee doesn't get paid for hours worked, the courts should be therefore to enforce the payment)

Anything else the state should stay out of.

Nope, but it is pretty normal for employees to be laid off when the stock price plunges

Neopythonic: Reasoning about Asyncio.Semaphore

SMS is used heavily by companies in Sweden too, for pretty much all notifications and often chat too. This is going to be a pain in the ass.
It’s the nuclear risk that is worrying me. All the other stuff are “normal” problems we have had for thousands of years but nuclear is existential. Yea, there was the Cold War, but I feel like this new threat is much more dangerous than that era.
Even if stigma gets in the way, it's not something about which I can do anything. Reading about it is not useful to me.
Well, dragsters are laughably slow to accelerate if we're just talking about "acceleration world record" without qualifiers. (Assuming that "acceleration" here means "acceleration of a ground vehicle with a human driver" is just as arbitrary as "…of an electric ground vehicle…", after all. Actual acceleration world records of macroscopic objects are in the 10,000s of gs…)
Common Lisp HyperSpec (CLHS): Section 22.3: Formatted Output
Note you can't just get the keys even if you have a fingerprint. You would need to maintain continuous access to the device while it is still signed in as the user. It would be pretty easy to the "find my device", if the user didn't already notice you were handling it
Burnout is not working towards your purpose.
Cost goes down and ROI only goes up, exponentially over time. VR is currently as expensive today as it ever will be.
The issue with an "evidence-based" approach is that conducting studies to generate evidence requires substantial capital, and that capital is most available for treatments that are supported by major companies. In this case, pharmaceutical companies make substantial profits from selling stimulants, and medical insurers favour CBT for a variety of reasons, including relatively short treatment timelines. Consequently, evidence will be biased towards those therapies, so the volume of evidence isn't really a good basis for comparing different treatments.
While presumably most meant to be humorous the dog walking was a real struggle. I would use outdoor walk, but the main issue, is when trying to look at my walking progress (getting faster, lower heart rates, longer walks etc), hard to compared apples to oranges since the pace with dog is always different as having to stop or when someone walks by affects things, etc. So wish there was a "solo walk" maybe that is just me and meant for imrpoving performance etc, vs regular walk that could be with dog or with friends etc, which will have various metrics etc.
Agreed.. except the point of industrialization was to make people replaceable.

Fungibility is a legal construct tying into contract law.

It is a misuse of business "terms" by technology people.
Even better: you can just hire Android devs who are fed up with client side programming.
Constantly checking the news is unlikely to end the conflict or deescalate things :)
Not saying that there aren't real issues, but remember, news makes money off of getting you to constantly engage, so they are financially motivated to sensationalize.
"on your device" doesn't mean that you can actually access the key though. It might be stored in the secure enclave/TPM or otherwise unavailable if the phone has a locked bootloader.
I don't think this will be effective. Kendi explicitly admits that his prescription is racist, it's not some secret. His supporters have just decided that equity is more important than equality and (probably) rightly see that the only path there is racism.
It seems like it sometimes. Therapy is good. If you can't make it or want to try something self-paced -- I like "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" by Steven Hayes. The one with the workbook. It's ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). CBT is good as well.

If you have a mountain or hill nearby, go bike, walk, hike, run, climb up it. Just you (or and some friends), some good feeling pain, and nature.
No. It's uniquitous in Europe.
This perpetuates burnout in another way - it's mentally draining. You're wiped out from work, so you come home and just get on your phone, because you're too tired to do anything else. But being on the phone does not recharge you mentally or emotionally (or spiritually, if you think such a thing exists). Instead, it leaves you more drained.

(Or maybe this isn't "another way". Maybe this is just repeating what the parent said.)
Indeed, there is lots of denial or ignorance in this thread (ignorance in the technical sense). AudioLM already produced impressive results and it's a tiny fraction of what is already possible because performance simply improves with scale. One can probably solve music generation today with a ~$1B budget for most purposes like film or game music, or personalized soundtracks. This is not science fiction.
Mutual acquaintance (in all 3 cases).
> Six studies—including two pilot studies, an archival study across 185 U.S. metropolitan areas (Study 1), a
preregistered experiment conducted in Singapore (Study 2), an experience-sampling study among engineers
conducted in India (Study 3), and an online experiment (Study 4)

I suspect that the society in which the studies occurred might have more to do with the conclusion than the robots themselves. Had there been contributions from northern Europe where automation is often the only way to make an activity profitable the conclusion might have been a little more nuanced.

You don't need money in that hypothetical vision.

It is scale between cost of production and what everyone can pay for that service.

The producer of services no longer need money (automated) to create, hence the overall cost for everything can be zero. The only cost is RnD for future automations and I assume society as whole can collect that.
i have an ultracentrifuge in lab that can do 100,000gs sustained for hours
Too be honestly, I feel like society at large causes burnout.

I read a very complete account of my grandfathers early life (before he joined the military during WW2) and the kinda shit he did living of a farm is stuff of fairytales.

When someone in the 20 mile radius needed a barn built, LITERALLY EVERYONE came to help. When you were off work for the night, you would sit with your whole family and read the newspaper or play cards, or travel to your grandmas house 3 blocks away.

Now the whole world is split up. My nearest family is over 600 miles away. My friends would rather play video games on discord than go and play cards in person. Work is a 9-5 and then you forget about it.

It seems like there is no community anymore outside of online spaces, and that just isn’t the same. In my opinion, burnout is synonymous with lack of real world, in person community.
> to create resistive heat

We're talking about heat pumps not resistive heat.
I honestly think it would be painful to write a large GUI app like this in Rust, and it's not something I would attempt.

Backend and code analytics side, sure. But like you said they have lots of in-house code written in Java.

It's interesting they stuck with Java for the UI, but it does seem to be snappy and I'm glad to see them walk away from Swing.

I see a lot of pushback against this but even WhatsApp doesn't have this feature. Signal is just a small team of hackers (like 2 dozen employees) fighting against big tech (thousands of employees/developers). They aren't going to be able to support everything big tech does and what big tech doesn't. It is a pick your battle thing.

I do think Signal deserves a lot of criticism but I'm always amazed how a forum of programmers and highly tech literate users just trashes a small team of hackers fighting against big tech. They are open source. We are the ones that can help them. There are plenty of custom builds out there (that do access official Signal servers) and you can build this feature back in if you want. I don't think it is a problem if Signal decides it has more important features to support with their tiny team. But if you want more features you got to donate either time or money. This is "HACKER" news, so get hacking.
is Apple refusing to bargain or engage with the union?
The comparison works because the alternatives are worse. The incumbent is random air purifiers (glorified fans at 10X markup) from China with "proprietary" filters, compared to the economy of scale of generic furnace filters which have been sold at volume for many years, in standard sizes.

DIY enables making your own design choices. Instead of disposable box fans, inline duct fans can support high static pressure applications, they are available in a range of prices and reliability, with Fantech near the top end offering German motors in USA-assembled fans.
“Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”- Viktor Frankl

Find someone or some cause/purpose and fully surrender to this person and/or cause. Then you won't think about burnout and you will experience happiness as a side-effect of your surrender.
You raise a good point, not every industry has a history of capitalists intentionally harming and killing workers!
